THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1997


         NET REVENUES. Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998
were $556.3 million compared to $557.4 million for the comparable period in
1997. Net revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 increased 6%,
compared to the same period in 1997, to $1,145.1 million.

        Total heavy-duty engine shipments for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1998 were approximately 22,300 units and 45,300 units,
respectively, and represents increases of 6% and 13% over the comparable
periods of 1997. Total unit shipments for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1998 decreased approximately 16% and 4%, respectively, when
compared to the same periods of 1997. The decrease in total unit shipments is
the result of decreases in automotive unit sales as the Company completed
production of the IBC Frontera program and shipments for other customer
applications declined relative to 1997 record levels.
         Net revenues in the on-highway market increased 7% and 13% for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively. Strong revenues
in this area reflect consistent demand for the Company's Series 60 engine in
on-highway and coach applications and reflect the strength of the North
American On-Highway Heavy Duty Truck market. Net revenues in the off-road market
increased 7% and 12% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
respectively. The increases in this market reflect shipments of the
Company's Series 2000 and Series 4000 engines combined with strong military
revenues, partially offset by a decline in two-cycle revenues. Automotive 
market revenues decreased from record 1997 revenues reflecting the completion
of certain programs as discussed above. Unit volumes and revenues in this 
market are expected to remain below 1997 levels for the remainder of 1998.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
$131.0 million, or 23.5%, an increase of $5.0 million or .9 points over the same
period last year. Gross profit for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998
was $265.4 million, an increase of $17.2 million or .2 points over the 
corresponding period in 1997.
         The increase in gross profit for these periods is attributed to
favorable product mix of heavy-duty engines combined with fewer automotive units
during the period and the Company's cost reduction efforts.

         SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $88.0 million or 15.8% of
net revenues, compared to $86.3 million or 15.5% of net revenues for the
corresponding period in 1997. Selling and administrative expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 were $179.2 million or 15.6% of net revenues,
compared to $169.6 million or 15.7% for the corresponding period in 1997.
         The increase in selling and administrative expenses are related to 
the increases in unit volumes for the Company's heavy duty engine products 
offset by the Company's focus on expense controls in the selling and 
administrative areas.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $23.7 million, level with the
same period in 1997. Research and development expenses for the six months ended 
June 30, 1998 were $48.2 million, a decrease of $1.1 million from the same 
period last year.
         The decrease year to date June 30, 1998 compared to the same period in
the prior year relates primarily to decreased spending on Series 2000/4000
engine development as these new products were launched in late 1997, offset by
spending associated with product enhancements and emissions related efforts.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased $0.7 million and $0.6
million for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 1998 compared to the
same periods in 1997. Interest expense decreased due to lower levels of capital
expenditures during the first six months of 1998

compared to the same period in 1997. Capital expenditures decreased $13.7
million to $20.1 million for the first six months of 1998 compared to the same 
period in 1997.

         INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense is reported during interim
reporting periods on the basis of the Company's estimated annual effective tax
rate for the taxable jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company
estimates that its annual effective tax rate for 1998 is approximately 37%.

         NET INCOME. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
$10.4 million compared to $7.4 million for the comparable period in 1997. Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $20.1 million compared to
$13.8 million for the comparable period in 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Historically, the Company's primary sources of liquidity have been cash
provided by operations, and bank borrowings under various revolving lines of
credit and bank notes, including the Company's $300 million revolving line of
credit, of which approximately $263 million was available as of June 30, 1998.
Additionally, the Company's subsidiary, VM Motori S.p.A. ("VM"), has $51.6
million in unsecured, short-term lines of credit with several banks, of which
approximately $44.5 million was available at June 30, 1998.

         Cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was
approximately $45.4 million. Capital expenditures were $20.1 million for the
first six months of 1998 and were used to upgrade existing machinery, equipment
and tooling.

         The Company is subject to risks of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates due to its operations located outside of the United States. Changes in
foreign currency exchange rates are generally reported as a component of
stockholders' equity. Changes in the value of the Italian Lira, the Singapore
Dollar and the Brazilian Real impact the Company's translation adjustments.
Additionally, the Company has recorded liabilities approximating 25.1 million in
Deutsche Marks ("DM") as of June 30, 1998. Changes in the value of the DM versus
the United States Dollar will affect the Company's results of operations and
financial position.

         The Company is in the process of addressing its compliance with Year
2000 issues related to its manufacturing systems, business computer systems, and
software and hardware products. The Company is in the process of updating its
current systems and software to a new operating environment, and the
modifications are expected to be completed by the end of 1998 to permit
sufficient test time during 1999. The Company is also reviewing its software and
hardware and is developing appropriate plans to ensure year 2000 compliance. The
Company believes that the costs associated with Year 2000 compliance will not be
material to its results of operations or financial position, although the total
cost of compliance is not yet known.

         As discussed in the Company's 1997 Form 10-K, heavy-duty diesel 
engine manufacturers, including the Company, are having on-going discussions 
with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency



                                       10
<PAGE>   11
Detroit Diesel Corporation Form 10-Q (continued)


("EPA"), the U.S. Department of Justice and the California Air Resources
Board ("CARB") to address concerns about the level of NOx emissions from 
heavy-duty diesel engines under certain driving conditions. The Company 
believes its engines are in compliance with the applicable emissions standards 
and fully supports cooperative efforts of industry and government to meet 
increasingly stringent standards. Both the EPA and CARB have issued conditional
certificates of conformity on certain 1998 on-highway diesel engine families.
The Company is hopeful that an agreement with the Government can be reached,
however, any such agreement could have a material impact on the Company's
financial results. Please refer to the Company's 1997 Form 10-K on file with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission for more information.

The Company expects that it will be able to satisfy on-going cash requirements
(including capital expenditures for environmental compliance and other
projects), for the next 12 months and thereafter, with cash flow from
operations, supplemented, if necessary, by borrowings under its $300 million
revolving line of credit.

PROSPECTIVE INFORMATION

The Company anticipates continued improvement in financial performance
throughout the remainder of 1998, based upon current forecasts, primarily
generated through a continued emphasis on cost reduction activities and
operating performance enhancements, combined with moderate overall revenue
growth. Cost reduction programs such as Continuous Customer Value Improvement 
(CCVI) and PowerEvolution, a comprehensive remake of the Company's off-road
products and services designed to update product technology, broaden its power
range, improve efficiency and increase shareholder value, are expected to have 
a positive impact on operating margins and earnings in 1998 and into the 
future. Shipments of the Series 2000 and Series 4000 engines in off-road 
markets are expected to increase, while the transition of certain customer 
programs within the automotive sector is expected to result in lower unit 
volume in 1998. 

         The Company's primary production facility located in Michigan employs
approximately 2,000 employees represented by the International Union, The United
Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, Local 163
("UAW") under a four-year collective bargaining agreement which expires on
August 30, 1998. The Company has commenced negotiations with the UAW and has no
reason to believe it will not reach a satisfactory new agreement.
