PART I

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
- -----------------

Dana Corporation, incorporated in 1905, is a global leader in
engineering, manufacturing and marketing of products and systems for the
worldwide vehicular, industrial and off-highway original equipment (OE) markets
and is a major supplier to the related aftermarkets (also called "distribution,"
"service parts" or "replacement parts" markets). Dana also wholly owns Dana
Credit Corporation (DCC), a provider of lease financing services in certain
markets.

Dana's Vehicular segment is comprised of components and parts used on
light, medium and heavy trucks, sport utility vehicles, trailers, vans and
automobiles. The Company's products include components for drivetrain systems,
such as axles, driveshafts, clutches and transmissions; engine parts, such as
gaskets and sealing systems, piston rings, and filtration products; structural
components, such as vehicular frames, engine cradles and rails; chassis
products, such as steering and suspension components. In 1996, sales from this
segment accounted for 80% of Dana's sales.

The Company's Industrial segment products are used in off-highway
vehicle and stationary equipment applications. These products include components
for industrial power transmission products, such as electrical and mechanical
brakes and clutches, drives and motion control devices; fluid power systems,
such as pumps, cylinders and control valves. Sales from this segment amounted to
20% of the Company's 1996 sales.

Dana's Lease Financing segment is almost exclusively comprised of the
operations of DCC which offer lease financing services in the form of capital
markets specialized lease transactions worldwide and customized equipment
financing programs in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and continental
Europe. The revenue derived from such services is included in Revenue from Lease
Financing and Other Income in Dana's financial statements and is not considered
a component of net sales.

"Note 16. Business Segments" at pages 34 - 36 of Dana's 1996 Annual
Report is incorporated herein by reference.

GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS
- ------------------

To serve its global markets, Dana has established regional operating
organizations in North America, Europe, South America and Asia Pacific, each
with management responsibility for its specific geographic markets. The
Company's operations are located in the following twenty-nine countries:



North America Europe South America Asia Pacific
------------- ------ ------------- ------------

Canada Austria Portugal Argentina Australia Malaysia
Mexico France Spain Brazil China Singapore
United States Germany Sweden Colombia Hong Kong Taiwan
India Switzerland Uruguay Japan Thailand
Italy United Kingdom Venezuela Korea New Zealand
Netherlands


Dana's international subsidiaries and affiliates manufacture and sell a
number of vehicular and industrial products which are similar to those produced
by Dana in the United States (U.S.). In addition to normal business risks,
operations outside the U.S. are subject to other risks including, among others,
changing political, economic and social environments, changing governmental laws
and regulations, and currency revaluations and market fluctuations.

Consolidated international sales were $2.2 billion, or 28% of the
Company's 1996 sales. Including U.S. exports of $676 million, international
sales accounted for 37% of 1996 consolidated sales. International operating
income was $135 million, or 19% of consolidated 1996 operating income. In
addition, there was $11 million of equity in earnings from international
affiliates in 1996.

"Business Segments" by geographic areas at page 36 of Dana's 1996
Annual Report and "Note 6. International Operations" at page 30 of Dana's 1996
Annual Report are incorporated herein by reference.

MARKETS
- -------

During the past three years, Dana's sales to Vehicular and Industrial
original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and service parts markets were as
follows:



Market Analysis by Business Segment*
Percentage of Consolidated Sales
--------------------------------
1994 1995 1996
---- ---- ----

Vehicular Products -
OE Manufacturers 56% 58% 58%
Service Parts 24% 22% 22%
--- --- ---
Total 80% 80% 80%

Industrial Products -
OE Manufacturers 10% 10% 10%
Service parts 10% 10% 10%
--- --- ---
Total 20% 20% 20%

*Note: End use of products is not always identifiable but these are reasonable estimates derived from expected customer usages.


Sales in the Lease Financing segment consisted of real estate sales and
did not exceed 1% of consolidated sales for 1994, 1995 or 1996. Lease financing
revenues (amounting to less than 5% of Dana's consolidated 1996 total revenues)
have been excluded from this market analysis.

CUSTOMER DEPENDENCE
- -------------------

The Company has thousands of customers around the world and has
developed long-standing business relationships with many of these customers. The
Company's attention to cost, as well as quality, delivery and service, has been
recognized by numerous customers who have awarded the Company supplier quality
awards. Ford Motor Company (Ford) and Chrysler Corporation (Chrysler) were the
only customers accounting for more than 10% of the Company's consolidated sales
in 1996. The Company has been supplying product to Ford, Chrysler and their
subsidiaries for many years. Sales to Ford, as a percentage of the Company's
sales, were 16%, 17% and 16% in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Sales to
Chrysler, as a percentage of sales, were 12%, 13% and 14% in 1994, 1995 and
1996, respectively. Loss of all or a substantial portion of the Company's sales
to Ford, Chrysler or other large volume customers, would have a significant
adverse effect on the Company's financial results until this lost sales volume
could be replaced. This event is considered unlikely in the ordinary course of
business and would most likely occur only in the event of a major business
interruption such as a prolonged strike at one of the Company's customers.

PRODUCTS

The major groups of products within the Vehicular segment are as
follows:



Major Product Groups - Vehicular Segment

-----------------------------------------

1994 1995 1996
---- ---- ----

Types of Products

Other Vehicular products 18% 19% 18%
--- --- ---

Total 80% 80% 80%


No product or product group within the Industrial or Lease Financing
segments exceeded 10% of consolidated sales during these periods.

MATERIAL SOURCE AND SUPPLY
- --------------------------

Most raw materials (such as steel) and semi-processed or finished items
(such as forgings and castings) are purchased from capable long-term suppliers
within the geographic regions of the Dana operating units. Generally, the
Company does not rely on any one supplier for these materials, which are for the
most part available from numerous sources in quantities need by the Company.
Temporary shortages of a particular material or part occasionally occur, but the
overall availability of materials is not considered to be a problem by the
Company.

SEASONALITY
- -----------

Dana's businesses are not considered to be seasonal, but the OE
vehicular businesses are closely related to the vehicle manufacturers'
production schedules.

BACKLOG
- -------

The majority of Dana's products are not on a backlog status. They are
produced from readily available materials such as steel and have a relatively
short manufacturing cycle. Each operating unit of the company maintains its own
inventories and production schedules. Many of Dana's products are available from
more than one facility. Production capacity is adequate to handle current
requirements and will be expanded to handle anticipated growth in certain
product lines.

COMPETITION
- -----------

In its Vehicular and Industrial segments, the Company competes
worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors which produce
and sell similar products. These competitors include vertically-integrated units
of the Company's major vehicular OE customers and a number of independent U.S.
and international suppliers. The Company's traditional U.S. OE customers, in
response to substantial international competition in the past few years, have
expanded their worldwide sourcing of components while reducing their overall
number of suppliers. The Company has established operations in several regions
of the world to enable Dana to be a strong global supplier of its core products.

In the Lease Financing segment, the Company's primary focus is on
leasing activities. The Company's competitors include national and regional
leasing and finance organizations.

STRATEGY
- --------

The Company is actively pursuing two broad strategies, focused around
Dana's eight core businesses: axles, driveshafts, structural components, sealing
products, filtration products, engine products, industrial products and leasing.

The first strategy is to significantly reduce the effects of the
economic cycle by diversifying the Company's products and reducing its
dependence on highway vehicle OE production. Dana's long-term goal is to obtain
50% of sales from highway vehicle OEM customers and 50% from distribution,
off-highway, service and industrial markets. In 1996, sales from highway vehicle
OEM customers were 58% of Dana's total, while distribution, off-highway, service
and industrial sales were 42%. The Company continues to seek expansion in its
off-highway and distribution businesses by increasing market penetration and
broadening its product offerings through internal growth and acquisition.

The second strategy focuses on the Company obtaining a balance between
U.S. and international sales. Dana has well-defined regional organizations in
North America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific in support of this
initiative to effectively compete in world markets. In 1996, international
sales, including exports from the U.S., totaled 37% of consolidated sales. The
Company's long-term goal is to derive 50% of its sales (including exports) from
customers outside the U.S. Although this strategy is subject to certain risks,
the Company believes broadening its sales base will enable it to offset effects
of economic downturns in specific countries, source materials from the areas of
the world which offer the lowest cost, and provide access to markets which have
the greatest growth potential. To accomplish this objective, the Company is
focusing on meeting OE customers' needs in each of the local markets in which
those customers operate, both through exports and by locating manufacturing or
assembly facilities in markets where key OE customers have assembly plants.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
- ----------------------

Dana's proprietary drivetrain, engine parts, chassis, structural
components, fluid power systems, and industrial power transmission product lines
have strong identities in the Vehicular and Industrial markets which Dana
serves. Throughout these product lines, Dana also owns or is licensed to
manufacture and sell its products under a number of patents and licenses. These
patents and licenses have been obtained over a period of years and expire at
various times. Dana considers each of them to be of value and aggressively
protects its rights throughout the world against infringement. Because the
Company is involved with many product lines, the loss or expiration of any
particular patent or license would not materially affect the sales and profits
of the company.

Dana owns numerous trademarks which are registered in many countries
enabling Dana to market its products worldwide. The "Dana," "Spicer," "Parish,"
"Perfect Circle," Victor Reinz," "Wix," "Weatherhead," "Warner Electric" and
"Gresen" trademarks, among others, are widely recognized in their respective
industries.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
- ------------------------

Dana's facilities engage in engineering, research and development, and
quality control activities to improve the reliability, performance and
cost-effectiveness of Dana's existing Vehicular and Industrial products and to
design and develop new products for both existing and anticipated applications.
The Company employs advanced technology and methods to achieve these
improvements. To promote efficiency and reduce development costs, Dana's
research and engineering people work closely with OE manufacturing customers on
special product and systems designs. Dana's consolidated worldwide expenditures
for engineering, research and development, and quality control programs were
$138 million in 1994, $149 million in 1995 and $164 million in 1996.

EMPLOYMENT
- ----------

Dana's worldwide employment (including consolidated subsidiaries) was
approximately 46,100 at December 31, 1996.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
- ------------------------

The Company makes capital expenditures in the normal course of
business, as necessary to ensure that its facilities are in compliance with
applicable environmental laws and regulations. Costs of environmental compliance
did not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's capital expenditures,
earnings or competitive position in 1996, and the Company currently does not
anticipate future environmental compliance costs will be material. "Note 1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Environmental Compliance and
Remediation" on page 28 of Dana's 1996 Annual Report is incorporated herein by
reference.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
- -----------------

On February 27, 1997, the Company signed an agreement to sell its
warehouse distribution operations in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and
Portugal to U.K.-based Partco Group plc for pound sterling 103 million (U.S.
$168 million). The 1996 sales of these operations were $315 million. The
closing, subject to approval of Partco's shareholders, is anticipated by the end
of March. The sale will result in an after-tax gain of approximately $47 million
to Dana (46 cents per share). The operations included in the sale encompass 135
Brown Brothers distribution facilities in the United Kingdom, Dana Distribution
B.V. (Holland), and Europecas S.A. (Portugal).

In February 1997, Dana initiated a rationalization plan at its Perfect
Circle Europe operations in France. Under the plan, the Company expects to sell
its piston manufacturing facility and its owned warehouse operation, reorganize
its piston ring manufacturing operations, and downsize and relocate its division
office. When the rationalization plan has been finalized, the Company expects
the resulting charges to be approximately $36 million (35 cents per share). It
is anticipated that the charges will be recognized during the first and second
quarters of 1997.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are parties to various
pending judicial and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course
of business. The Company's management and legal counsel have reviewed the
probable outcome of these proceedings, the costs and expenses reasonably
expected to be incurred, the availability and limits of the Company's insurance
coverage, and the Company's established reserves for uninsured liabilities.
While the outcome of the pending proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty,
based on its review, management believes that any liabilities that may result
are not reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company's liquidity,
financial condition or results of operations.

Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain
environmental proceedings are not deemed to be ordinary routine proceedings
incidental to the Company's business and are required to be reported in the
Company's annual and/or quarterly reports. The Company is not currently a party
to any such proceedings.

approved by the shareholders in 1977 and 1982. The 1977 Plan was amended in
1981, 1986, 1990, 1994 and 1995. The 1982 Plan was amended with shareholder
approval in 1988 and 1993. These plans authorize the grant of options and /or
stock appreciation rights ("SARs") to key employees to purchase 6,000,000 and
11,900,000 shares, respectively, of common stock at exercise prices no less than
85% of the market value of such stock at date of grant; the exercise periods may
extend for no more than ten years from date of grant. All options and SARs
granted to date under these two plans have been granted at 100% of the market
value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant.

The number of shares above and all references below to the number of
shares and per share prices have been adjusted for all stock dividends and
distributions subsequent to the dates the plans were approved by the date of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-------------------------------------------------

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- -----------------------------

As discussed in "Note 20. Commitments and Contingencies" on pages 38
and 39 of the 1996 Annual Report the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries
are parties to various legal proceedings (judicial and administrative) arising
in the normal course of business, including proceedings which involve
environmental and product liability claims.

With respect to environmental claims, the Company is involved in
investigative and/or remedial efforts at a number of locations, including
"on-site" activities at currently or formerly owned facilities and "off-site"
activities at "Superfund" sites where the Company has been named as a
potentially responsible party. "Note 1. Summary of Accounting Policies -
Environmental Compliance and Remediation" at page 28 of Dana's 1996 Annual
Report and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results" at page 41 of
Dana's 1996 Annual Report are incorporated herein by reference.

With respect to product liability claims, from time to time the Company
is named in proceedings involving alleged defects in its products. Currently
included in such proceedings are a large number of claims (most of which are
relatively small) based on alleged asbestos-related personal injuries. At
December 31, 1996, approximately 36,000 such claims were outstanding, of which
approximately 5,000 were subject to pending settlement agreements. The Company
has agreements with its insurance carriers providing for the payment of
substantially all of the indemnity costs and the legal and administrative
expenses for these claims. The Company is also a party to a small number of
asbestos-related property damage proceedings. The Company's insurance carriers
are paying the major portion of the defense costs in connection with such cases,
and the Company has incurred no indemnity costs to date.

The Company signed agreements in December 1996 to acquire certain
operations of SPX Corporation and the assets of Clark-Hurth Components, a unit
of Ingersoll-Rand Company. These acquisitions were completed in February 1997.
In the aggregate, these operations do not constitute a significant subsidiary.
