ITEM I - BUSINESS
- -----------------

        Dana Corporation, Incorporated in 1905, is a global leader in the
engineering, manufacturing and distribution of components and systems for
worldwide vehicular and industrial manufacturers. Dana also owns Dana Credit
Corporation (DCC), a leading 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 and driveshafts; engine parts, such as gaskets and sealing
systems, piston rings, and filtration products; structural components, such as
vehicular frames, engine cradles and rails; and chassis products, such as
steering and suspension components. In 1997, sales from this segment accounted
for 76% 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 and fluid power systems,
such as pumps, cylinders and control valves. Sales from this segment amounted to
24% of the Company's 1997 sales.

        Dana's Lease Financing segment is almost exclusively comprised of the
operations of DCC which offers lease financing services in the form of capital
markets specialized lease transactions worldwide and customized equipment
financing programs in the United States (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 1997 Annual
Report is incorporated herein by reference.

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

        The Company maintains four regional structures - North America, Europe, 
South America and Asia/Pacific - to facilitate financial and statutory reporting
and tax compliance on a worldwide basis. The regional structures also provide
administrative support to the six Strategic Business Units (SBUs) - Automotive
Components, Engine Components, Heavy Truck Components, Industrial Components,
Off-Highway Components and Leasing Services - established in 1997 to better
serve Dana's global markets.

        The Company's operations are located in the following countries:


 North America         Europe            South America         Asia/Pacific
 -------------         ------            -------------         -------------
                                                      
 Canada           Austria   Poland          Argentina     Australia    Malaysia
 Mexico           Belgium   Spain           Brazil        China        Singapore
 United States    France    Sweden          Colombia      Hong Kong    Taiwan
                  Germany   Switzerland     Uruguay       Japan        Thailand
                  India     United Kingdom  Venezuela     Korea        New Zealand
                  Italy     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 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,
currency revaluations and market fluctuations.

        Consolidated international sales were $2.3 billion, or 28% of the
Company's 1997 sales. Including U.S. exports of $697 million, international
sales accounted for 36% of 1997 consolidated sales. International operating
income was $109 million, or 17% of consolidated 1997 operating income. In
addition, there was $27 million of equity in earnings of international
affiliates in 1997.

Report is incorporated herein by reference. See also "Note 16. Business
Segments" at pages 34-36 of Dana's 1997 Annual Report.

*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 1995, 1996 or 1997. Lease financing
revenues (amounting to less than 5% of Dana's consolidated 1997 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 1997. 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 17%, 16% and 17% in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Sales to
Chrysler, as a percentage of sales, were 13%, 14% and 14% in 1995, 1996 and
1997, 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.

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

        Most raw materials (such as steel) and semi-processed or finished items
(such as forgings and castings) are purchased from long-term suppliers located
within the geographic regions of the Dana operating units. Generally, these
materials are available from numerous sources in quantities needed 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
significant risk factor 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 and have a relatively short
manufacturing cycle. Each operating unit of the Company maintains its own
inventories and production schedules, and many products are available from more
than one facility. Production capacity is adequate to handle current
requirements; anticipated growth in Dana's product lines is regularly reviewed
to determine when additional capacity may be needed.

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 throughout 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 six customer and market-focused, global SBUs.

        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 OE customers and 50% from distribution,
off-highway, service and industrial markets. In 1997, sales from highway
vehicle OE 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 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.
In 1997, international sales, including exports from the U.S., totaled 36% 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.

As part of the continuing efforts to focus on its core businesses, the Company
in 1997 announced or completed nine divestitures of businesses with annual
sales of nearly $900 million.  The Company also completed the acquisitions of
the piston ring and cylinder liner operations of SPX Corporation and the assets
of Clark-Hurth Components from Ingersoll-Rand.  The Company also announced the
acquisition of the global axle and brake business of Eaton Corporation which
was completed in January 1998.  Refer to "Note 21, Acquisitions" for additional
information related to these activities.

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, which
have been obtained over a period of years and expire at various times, Dana
considers each of them to be of value and agressively 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(R), Spicer(R),
Parish(R), Perfect Circle(R), Victor Reinz(R), Wix(R), Weatherhead(R), Warner
Electric(R) and Gresen(R) 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 products and to design and develop new products for
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 products and systems designs. Dana's
consolidated worldwide expenditures for engineering, research and development,
and quality control programs were $149 million in 1995, $164 million in 1996 and
$193 million in 1997.

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

        Dana's worldwide employment (including consolidated subsidiaries) was
approximately 47,900 at December 31, 1997.

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 1997, and the Company currently does not
anticipate future environmental compliance costs will be material.
"Environmental Compliance and Remediation" under "Note 1. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies" on page 28 of Dana's 1997 Annual Report is incorporated
herein by reference.

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.

To the Board of Directors
of Dana Corporation


Our audits of the consolidated financial statements referred to in our report
dated January 21, 1998 appearing on page 22 of the 1997 Annual Report to
Shareholders of Dana Corporation (which report and consolidated financial
statements are incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K)
also included an audit of Financial Statement Schedule II appearing on pages 16
through 20 of this Form 10-K. In our opinion, this Financial Statement Schedule
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein
when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements.

plan expire between April 19, 2003 and April 21, 2007. At December 31, 1997,
options for 99,000 shares were outstanding, 75,000 options were exercisable and
there were 22,000 options available for future grant. During 1997, options for
21,000 shares became exercisable, with an aggregate exercise price of $677,250

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

        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. "Note 20. Commitments and Contingencies" on pages 38 and 39 of
Dana's 1997 Annual Report is incorporated herein by reference.

        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. "Environmental Compliance and Remediation" under
"Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" at page 28 of Dana's 1997
Annual Report is incorporated herein by reference. Reference is also made to
applicable portions of "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" at pages 41-45 of Dana's 1997 annual
report.

        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, 1997, approximately 41,000 such claims were outstanding, of
which approximately 3,000 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.
