FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Statements in this report that are not entirely historical constitute forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
forwarding-looking statements are indicated by words such as anticipates, expects, believes,
intends, plans, estimates, projects and similar expressions. These statements represent
our present expectations based on our current information and assumptions. Forward-looking
statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ
materially from those we currently anticipate or project due to a number of factors, including the
following, those discussed elsewhere in this report and the risk
factors included in our Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005 (2005 Form 10-K).
|
|
The reorganization of Dana Corporation and forty of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code), that may have adverse consequences for Dana Corporation and its
stakeholders and may or may not be successful; |
|
|
|
The cyclical nature of the vehicular markets we serve, particularly the heavy-duty commercial vehicle market; |
|
|
|
Changes in national and international economic conditions that affect our markets, such as increased fuel prices and
legislation regulating vehicle emissions; |
|
|
|
Increases in the cost of certain of our commodities (including steel, other raw materials and energy) that we cannot
recoup in our product pricing; |
|
|
|
Price reduction pressures from our customers; |
|
|
|
Changes in business relationships with our major customers and in the timing, size and duration of their various
programs; |
|
|
|
Competitive pressures on our sales from other vehicle component suppliers; |
|
|
|
Potential bankruptcy or consolidation of key customers or suppliers; |
|
|
|
The ability of our customers to maintain their market positions and achieve their projected sales and production levels; |
|
|
|
Changes in the competitive environment in our markets due, in part, to outsourcing and consolidation by our customers; |
|
|
|
Our ability to complete our previously announced strategic actions as contemplated, including the divestiture of our
non-core engine hard parts, fluid products and pump products businesses; the operational restructuring in our
Automotive Systems Group; the dissolution of our Mexican joint venture with DESC S.A. de C.V. (DESC); and the
establishment of a Chinese joint venture with Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. (Dongfeng); |
|
|
|
The ability of our suppliers to maintain their projected production levels and furnish critical components for our
products, as well as other necessary goods and services; |
|
|
|
Our success in implementing our cost-savings, lean manufacturing and VA/VE (value added/value engineering) programs; |
|
|
|
The strength of other currencies relative to the U.S. dollar in other countries in which we do business; |
|
|
|
Potential adverse effects on our operations and business resulting from terrorism or hostilities; and |
|
|
|
Potential adverse effects on our financial condition that could result from enactment of proposed U.S. federal
legislation relating to asbestos personal injury claims. |
While we continue our reorganization under Chapter 11, investments in our securities will be highly
speculative. Although shares of our common stock continue to trade on the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board under the symbol DCNAQ, the trading prices of the shares may have little
or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by the holders under any eventual court-approved
reorganization plan. The opportunity for any recovery by holders of our common stock under such
reorganization plan is uncertain and shares of our common stock may be cancelled without any
compensation pursuant to such plan.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In millions, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal
recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of full-year results. We have reclassified certain amounts in 2005 to conform to the
2006 presentation.
The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2005 Form 10-K
and the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto in our
Form 10-Q/A for the
quarterly period ended March 31, 2005.
Accounting Requirements
As described in Note 2, Dana Corporation and forty of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries are
reorganizing under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code). American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by
Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code (SOP 90-7), which is applicable to companies
operating under Chapter 11, generally does not change the manner in which financial statements are
prepared. However, it does require that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the
filing of the Chapter 11 petition distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated
with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Revenues, expenses, realized
gains and losses and provisions for losses that can be directly associated with the reorganization
and restructuring of the business must be reported separately as reorganization items in our
statements of operations beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Our balance sheet must
distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise both from those pre-petition liabilities
that are not subject to compromise and from post-petition liabilities. Liabilities that may be
affected by a plan of reorganization must be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed, even
if they may be settled for lesser amounts. In addition, cash provided by reorganization items must
be disclosed separately in our statement of cash flows. We adopted SOP 90-7 effective March 3,
2006, and will prepare our financial statements in accordance with its requirements for the
duration of the reorganization proceedings.
Note 2. Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
On March 3, 2006 (the Filing Date), Dana Corporation and forty of its wholly-owned domestic
subsidiaries (collectively, the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under the
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the
Bankruptcy Court). These Chapter 11 cases are collectively referred to as the Bankruptcy Cases.
Neither Dana Credit Corporation (DCC) nor any of our non-U.S. affiliates commenced any bankruptcy
proceedings.
The wholly-owned subsidiaries included in the Bankruptcy Cases are Dakota New York Corp., Brake
Systems, Inc., BWDAC, Inc., Coupled Products, Inc., Dana Atlantic LLC f/k/a Glacier Daido America,
LLC, Dana Automotive Aftermarket, Inc., Dana Brazil Holdings I LLC f/k/a Wix Filtron LLC, Dana
Brazil Holdings LLC f/k/a/ Dana Realty Funding LLC, Dana Information Technology LLC, Dana
International Finance, Inc., Dana International Holdings, Inc., Dana Risk Management Services,
Inc., Dana Technology Inc., Dana World Trade Corporation, Dandorr L.L.C., Dorr Leasing Corporation,
DTF Trucking, Inc., Echlin-Ponce, Inc., EFMG LLC, EPE, Inc., ERS LLC, Flight Operations, Inc.,
Friction Inc., Friction Materials, Inc., Glacier Vandervell Inc., Hose & Tubing Products, Inc.,
Lipe Corporation, Long Automotive LLC, Long Cooling LLC, Long USA LLC, Midland Brake, Inc.,
Prattville Mfg., Inc., Reinz Wisconsin Gasket LLC, Spicer Heavy Axle & Brake, Inc., Spicer Heavy
Axle Holdings, Inc., Spicer Outdoor Power Equipment Components LLC, Torque-Traction Integration Technologies, LLC, Torque-Traction Manufacturing Technologies, LLC,
Torque-Traction Technologies, LLC and United Brake Systems Inc.

The Bankruptcy Cases are being jointly administered, with the Debtors managing their business in
the ordinary course as debtors in possession subject to the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. We
intend to continue normal business operations during the Bankruptcy Cases while we evaluate our
businesses both financially and operationally and implement comprehensive improvements as
appropriate to enhance performance. We intend to proceed with previously announced divestiture and
restructuring plans, which include the sale of several non-core businesses, the closure of certain
facilities and the shift of production to lower-cost locations. In addition, we intend to take
steps to reduce costs, increase efficiency and enhance productivity. We intend to effect
fundamental, not incremental, change to our business. While we cannot predict with precision how
long the reorganization process will take, it could take upwards of
18 months.
Our continuation as a going concern is contingent upon, among other things, our ability (i) to
comply with the terms and conditions of the DIP Credit Agreement described below; (ii) to obtain
confirmation of a plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code; (iii) to reduce wage and
benefit costs and liabilities through the bankruptcy process; (iv) to return to profitability; (v)
to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and; (vi) to obtain financing sources to meet our
future obligations. These matters create uncertainty relating to our ability to continue as a going
concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating
to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might result from the
outcome of these uncertainties. In addition, our plan of reorganization could materially change the
amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. Our consolidated financial statements as
of March 31, 2006 do not give effect to any adjustments to the carrying value of assets and
liabilities that may become necessary as a consequence of reorganization under Chapter 11.
Our bankruptcy filing triggered the immediate acceleration of certain direct financial obligations,
including, among others, an aggregate of $1,623 in principal and accrued interest of currently
outstanding non-secured notes issued under our Indentures dated as of December 15, 1997; August 8,
2001; March 11, 2002; and December 10, 2004. Such amounts are characterized as unsecured debt for
purposes of the reorganization proceedings and the related obligations have been classified as
liabilities subject to compromise in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006.
In addition, the filing for reorganization created an event of default under certain of our lease
agreements. The ability of our creditors to seek remedies to enforce their rights under the
agreements described above is automatically stayed as a result of our bankruptcy filing and the
creditors rights of enforcement are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
As required by SOP 90-7, we have begun recording the Debtors pre-petition debt instruments at the
allowed claim amount, as defined by SOP 90-7. Accordingly, we accelerated the amortization of the
related deferred debt issuance costs, the original issuance discounts and the valuation adjustment
related to the termination of interest rate swaps and we recorded a pre-tax expense of $17 during
March 2006, which is included in reorganization items in our
condensed consolidated statement of operations.
An official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in the Bankruptcy Cases and, in
accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, will have the right to be heard on all
matters that come before the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors are required to bear certain of the
committees costs and expenses, including those of their counsel and financial advisors.
While we continue our reorganization under Chapter 11, investments in our securities will be highly
speculative. Although shares of our common stock continue to trade on the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board under the symbol DCNAQ, the trading prices of the shares may have little
or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by the holders under any eventual court-approved
reorganization plan. The opportunity for any recovery by holders of our common stock under such
reorganization plan is uncertain and shares of our common stock may be cancelled without any
compensation pursuant to such plan.
Under the Bankruptcy Code, we have the right to assume or reject executory contacts (i.e., contacts
that are to be performed by the contract parties after the Filing Date) and unexpired leases,
subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and other limitations. In this context, assuming an
executory contract or
9
unexpired lease means that we will agree to perform our obligations and cure
certain existing defaults under the contract or lease and rejecting them means that we will be
relieved of our obligations to perform further under the contract or lease, which will give rise to
a pre-petition claim for damages for the breach thereof.
Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, schedules will be filed by the Debtors setting forth the assets
and liabilities of the Debtors as of the Filing Date. Differences between amounts recorded by the
Debtors and claims filed by the creditors will be investigated and resolved as part of the
proceedings in the Bankruptcy Cases. No bar date has been set for the filing of proofs of claim
against the Debtors. Accordingly, the ultimate number and allowed amounts of such claims are not
presently known.
The Debtors have received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to pay or otherwise honor certain of
their pre-petition obligations, subject to certain restrictions, including employee wages,
salaries, certain benefits and other employee obligations; pre-petition claims of foreign vendors
and certain suppliers that are critical to our continued operation and certain customer program and
warranty claims.
We anticipate that substantially all of the Debtors liabilities as of the Filing Date will be
resolved under, and treated in accordance with, a plan of reorganization to be proposed to and
voted on by their creditors in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Although we
intend to file and seek confirmation of such a plan, there can be no assurance as to when we will
file the plan or that the plan will be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and consummated. Nor can
there be any assurance that we will be successful in achieving our restructuring goals, or that any
measures that are achievable will result in sufficient improvement to our financial position.
Accordingly, until the time that the Debtors emerge from bankruptcy, there will be no certainty
about our ability to continue as a going concern. If a restructuring is not completed, we could be
forced to sell a significant portion of our assets to retire debt outstanding or, under certain
circumstances, to cease operations.
DIP Credit Agreement
In March 2006, the Bankruptcy Court granted final approval to our debtor-in-possession credit
facility (DIP Credit Agreement), under which we may borrow up to $1,450. This facility provides
funding to continue our operations without disruption and meet our obligations to suppliers,
customers and employees during the Chapter 11 reorganization process. See Note 10 for additional
information.
DCC Notes
Danas bankruptcy filing created an event of default under DCCs outstanding medium-term and
private placement notes (the DCC Notes). DCC is engaged in discussions with an Ad Hoc Committee
formed by certain of its noteholders regarding the potential for restructuring the DCC Notes.
Other DCC noteholders have commenced a lawsuit against DCC for nonpayment of the principal due on
their note in April 2006, plus accrued interest. See Notes 10 and 16 for additional information.
Financial Statement Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with SOP 90-7 and
on a going-concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. However, as a result of our
bankruptcy filing, such realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities are subject to
uncertainty. While operating as debtors in possession under the protection of Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code, and subject to Bankruptcy Court approval or otherwise as permitted in the ordinary
course of business, the Debtors, or some of them, may sell or otherwise dispose of assets and
liquidate or settle liabilities for amounts other than those reflected in the condensed
consolidated financial statements. Further, our plan of reorganization could materially change the
amounts and classification of items reported in our historical consolidated financial statements.
10
Substantially all of the Debtors pre-petition debt is now in default due to the bankruptcy filing.
As described below, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements present the
Debtors pre-petition debt of $1,585 under the caption Liabilities subject to compromise
in accordance with SOP 90-7, following the Filing Date, we discontinued recording interest expense on debt classified as
liabilities subject to compromise. Contractual interest on all debt, including the portion
classified as liabilities subject to compromise amounted to $47 for
the three months ended March 31, 2006. As required by SOP 90-7, the amounts of the liabilities subject to compromise represent
our estimate of known or potential pre-petition claims to be addressed in connection with the
Bankruptcy Cases. Such claims are subject to future adjustments. Adjustments may result from,
among other things, negotiations with creditors, rejection of executory contracts and unexpired
leases, and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Payment terms for these amounts will be established in
connection with the Bankruptcy Cases.
The liabilities subject to compromise in the condensed consolidated and debtor-in-possession
balance sheets consisted of the following items at March 31, 2006:

Professional advisory fees and other costs directly associated with the reorganization are
separately reported pursuant to SOP 90-7 as reorganization charges. Professional fees include
underwriting fees paid in connection with the DIP Credit Agreement,
which were expensed in their entirety in March 2006. Also included in
reorganization charges are provisions and adjustments to reflect the carrying value of certain
pre-petition liabilities at their estimated allowable claim amounts.
The debt valuation adjustments and the underwriting fees related to
the DIP Credit Agreement are associated with the initial phase of the
reorganization and generally represent one-time charges.

Note 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS No. 154
replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3,
Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and requires the direct effects of
accounting principle changes to be retrospectively applied. The existing guidance with respect to
accounting estimate changes and error corrections is carried forward in SFAS No. 154. SFAS No. 154
is effective for accounting changes and corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2005. We do not expect SFAS No. 154 to have a material effect on our financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB revised SFAS No. 123, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)), requiring
that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial
statements. The cost is to be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability
instruments issued. We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective
method. See Note 6 for details of our equity-based compensation plans.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151, which became effective January 1, 2006, requires the treatment of
certain abnormal costs, (such as idle facility expense and excessive freight and handling charges)
as period expenses and requires that allocation of fixed overhead be
based on normal capacity. We adopted SFAS No. 151 as of January 1, 2006. The new guidance did not have a material effect
on our financial position or results of operations in the first quarter of 2006 results of
operations.

Potential common shares of 14.2 and 15.1 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005
have been excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share, as the effect of
including them is anti-dilutive. These shares represent stock options with exercise prices higher
than the average share trading price of our stock during the respective periods. The potentially
dilutive shares shown above for the three months ended March 31, 2006 have also been disregarded,
as the loss from continuing operations for the quarter caused the shares to have an anti-dilutive
effect.

Note 6. Equity-Based Compensation
Our Stock Incentive Plan (SIP), which was approved by our shareholders, provides for the issuance
of up to 28,850,000 shares of Dana common stock. Awards are primarily in the form of stock
options, but may also include stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted units,
performance shares and stock awards. The vesting and valuation of the awards vary. The SIP
expires in April 2013.
Under the
SIP, the Compensation Committee of our Board may grant stock options to
our employees. All outstanding options have been
granted at exercise prices equal to the market price of our underlying common shares on the dates
of grant. The option grants generally provide that the options will vest and be exercisable in
cumulative 25% increments at each of the first four anniversary dates of the grant and expire ten
years from the date of grant, with vesting accelerated upon retirement if age and service minimums
are met.
We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) as of January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective transition method
and, accordingly, financial results for periods prior to 2006 were not restated. Under the
modified prospective transition method, share-based compensation expense for the first quarter of
2006 included expense for all share-based awards granted prior to but not vested as of January 1,
2006, based on the grant date fair value. Expense, determined under the fair value-based method
15
of accounting, totaled $1 and reduced earnings per share by $0.01 for the three months ended March
31, 2006. Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period the employee is required
to provide service in exchange for the award. Prior to 2006, as allowed by SFAS No. 123, stock
options were accounted for using the intrinsic-value method in APB No. 25. Under that method, no
compensation expense was recognized on the grant date, since on that date the option exercise price
equaled the market price of the underlying common shares. Additionally, prior to 2006, we had
complied with the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123.
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, we chose the nominal vesting period approach for recognizing the
amount of stock option expense to be included in the pro forma compensation expense for retirement
eligible employees. Under this method, expense was recognized over
the normal four-year vesting period.
With the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), companies were required to continue applying the nominal
vesting period approach for unvested options granted prior to January 1, 2006. Companies must
apply the non-substantive vesting period approach where expense is
recognized over the
period from grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if expected to occur during
the nominal vesting period. Our compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006
would have increased $1 under the non-substantive vesting period approach.

non-qualified stock option awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period
that approximates one year. The total fair value of options that vested during the three months
ended March 31, 2006 was less than $1.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the first three months of 2005 was
$4.28 per share under the binomial method, using a weighted average market value at date of grant
of $15.94 and the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.86%, a
dividend yield of 2.64%, volatility of 30.0% to 31.5%, expected forfeitures of 17.52% and an
expected option life of 6.7 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the first
three months of 2005 was immaterial.
On December 1, 2005, the Compensation Committee of our Board approved the immediate vesting of all
unvested stock options and SARs granted to employees under the SIP with an option price or an SAR
grant price of $15.00 or more per share. As a result, unvested stock options granted under the
plan to purchase 3,584,646 shares of our common stock, with a weighted average exercise price
$21.97 per share, became exercisable on December 1, 2005 rather than on the later dates when they
would have vested in the normal course.
The decision to accelerate the vesting of these stock options and SARs was made to reduce the
compensation expense that we would have otherwise been required to record following our adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R). If the vesting of these stock options and SARs had not been accelerated, we would
have expected to recognize an incremental share-based compensation expense of approximately $19 in
the aggregate from 2006 through 2009. As a result, the stock option expense reported for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was substantially lower than the
amount disclosed for the comparable period in 2005.
17
The Compensation Committee awarded approximately 250,000 restricted units and 50,000 restricted
shares under the SIP, in the aggregate, in 2004 and 2005. These awards have an aggregate fair
value of less than $6. The unrecognized compensation cost at
March 31, 2006 approximates $2 and is expected to be recognized
in 2006 through 2010.
Performance stock awards (performance shares) are also granted to certain employees of the Company
under the SIP. Vesting of the performance shares is contingent on Danas achieving, over the
applicable three-year performance period, certain pre-established performance goals measured
against the peer group selected by the Compensation Committee. The applicable three-year
performance period is 2004 through 2006 for 2004s grants and 2005 through 2007 for 2005s grants.
Generally, the employee must remain actively employed with Dana at the end of the performance
period for their performance shares to vest based on Danas performance. Certain of the awards are
to be payable in cash, if earned, while others are to be payable in shares of Dana common stock, if
earned.
At December 31, 2005, there were 627,031 performance shares outstanding, 280,520 payable in Dana
common stock and 346,511 payable in cash. No performance shares were granted in the first three
months of 2006.
Compensation expense of $1 was recorded for the first three months of 2005 associated with the
performance shares. No expense was recorded in the first three months
of 2006 as the company does
not expect the performance goals will be met for either applicable three-year period.
The Compensation Committee may grant restricted common shares to key employees under our 1999
Restricted Stock Plan (1999 RSP). The shares are subject to forfeiture until the restrictions lapse or terminate. Generally, the employees must remain employed by Dana for five
years after the date of grant to avoid forfeiting the shares. Dividends on granted restricted
shares have historically been credited in the form of additional restricted shares.
Participants in the 1999 RSP historically could elect to convert their unvested restricted stock
into an equal number of restricted stock units under certain conditions. The units, which are
credited with the equivalent of dividends, are payable in unrestricted stock upon retirement or
termination of employment unless subject to forfeit. This conversion feature was eliminated in
2005. There were no conversions to restricted units under the 1999 RSP in 2005.

The
aggregate fair value of the restricted shares that vested in the three months
ended March 31, 2006 was less than $1. Compensation expense recognized under the 1999 RSP was less
than $1 in the period. The remaining unrecognized compensation related to the 1999 RSP totaled $6
at March 31, 2006 and is expected to be recognized in 2006
through 2011.

Based on the amount of lump sum payments of pension benefits projected for 2006, we concluded
that it was appropriate to recognize settlement cost of $4, representing a portion of the previously
unrecognized net actuarial loss, during the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Note 8. Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss includes net income (loss) and components of other comprehensive income (loss),
such as foreign currency translation gains and losses that are charged or credited directly to
shareholders equity. The deferred translation gain reported for the three months ended March 31,
2006 was $32 and resulted primarily from the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro
($16) and the Brazilian real ($22). The deferred translation loss reported for the three months
ended March 31, 2005 was $60 and resulted primarily from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar
relative to the euro ($39), the British pound ($6), the South African rand ($5) and the Swedish
krona ($5).

Note 9. Cash Deposits
At
March 31, 2006, we maintained cash deposits of $107, which may not be withdrawn, to provide
credit enhancement for certain lease agreements and to support surety bonds that allow us to
self-insure our workers compensation obligations. These financial instruments are typically
renewed each year.
Note 10. Financing Agreements
DIP Credit Agreement Dana, as borrower, and our debtor U.S. subsidiaries, as guarantors, are
parties to a DIP Credit Agreement with Citicorp North America, Inc., Bank of America, N.A. and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as lenders. The DIP Credit Agreement, as amended, was approved by the
Bankruptcy Court in March 2006. We can borrow up to $750 under the revolving credit facility of
the DIP Credit Agreement (of which $400 is available for the issuance of letters of credit) and
$700 under the term loan facility, for an aggregate amount of up to $1,450.
All of the loans and other obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement will be due and payable on
the earlier of 24 months after the effective date of the DIP Credit Agreement or the consummation
of a plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code. Prior to maturity, Dana will be required to
make mandatory prepayments under the DIP Credit Agreement in the event that loans and letters of
credit exceed the available commitments, and from the proceeds of certain asset sales, unless
reinvested, and the issuance of additional indebtedness. Such prepayments, if required, are
to be applied first to the term loan facility and second to the revolving credit facility
with a permanent reduction in the amount of the commitments thereunder.
Interest under the DIP Credit Agreement will accrue, at Danas option, either at the London
interbank offered rate (LIBOR) plus a per annum margin of 2.25% for both the term loan facility and
the revolving credit facility or the prime rate plus a per annum margin of 1.25% for both
facilities. Dana will pay a fee for issued and un-drawn letters of credit in an amount per annum
equal to the LIBOR margin applicable to the revolving credit facility and a per annum fronting fee
of 25 basis points.
20
Dana will also pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum for unused committed
amounts under the revolving credit facility.
The DIP Credit Agreement is guaranteed by substantially all of Danas domestic subsidiaries,
excluding DCC. As collateral, Dana and each of its guarantor subsidiaries has granted a security
interest in and lien on effectively all of its assets, including a pledge of 66% of the equity
interests of each material foreign subsidiary directly or indirectly owned by Dana.
Under the DIP Credit Agreement, Dana and each of its subsidiaries (other than certain excluded
subsidiaries) are required to comply with customary covenants for facilities of this type. These
include affirmative covenants as to corporate existence, compliance with laws, insurance, payment
of taxes, access to books and records, use of proceeds, retention of a restructuring advisor and
financial advisor, maintenance of cash management systems, use of proceeds, priority of liens in
favor of the lenders, maintenance of properties and monthly, quarterly, annual and other reporting
obligations, and negative covenants, including limitations on liens, additional indebtedness,
guaranties, dividends, transactions with affiliates, claims in its bankruptcy proceedings,
investments, asset dispositions, nature of business, payment of pre-petition obligations, capital
expenditures, mergers and consolidations, amendments to constituent documents, accounting changes,
limitations on restrictions affecting subsidiaries and sale-leasebacks.
Additionally, the DIP Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a minimum amount of consolidated
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring and reorganization costs
(EBITDAR), as defined, for each period beginning on March 1, 2006 and ending on the last day of
each fiscal month from May 2006 through February 2007, and a rolling 12-month cumulative EBITDAR
for Dana and our direct and indirect subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, beginning on March 31,
2007 and ending on February 28, 2008, at levels set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement. We must
also maintain minimum availability under the DIP Credit Agreement at all times. The DIP Credit
Agreement contains certain defaults and events of default customary for debtor-in-possession
financings of this type. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default under the
DIP Credit Agreement, interest on all outstanding amounts would be payable on demand at 2% above
the then applicable rate.
As of March 31, 2006, we had borrowed $700 under the DIP Credit Agreement and used the proceeds to
pay off debt obligations outstanding under our prior five-year bank facility (which had provided us
with $400 in borrowing capacity) and our accounts receivable securitization program (which had
provided us with up to $275 borrowing capacity to meet periodic demand for short-term financing)
and certain other pre-petition obligations, as well as to provide for working capital and general
corporate expenses.
DCC
Notes At March 31, 2006, long-term debt at DCC
included notes totaling $399, including $275
outstanding under a $500 Medium Term Note Program established during 1999. These notes are
general, unsecured obligations of DCC. Interest on the notes is payable on a semi-annual basis.
Following Danas bankruptcy filing, the holders of a majority of
the issued and outstanding medium-term and private placement notes of DCC (the DCC Notes) formed an Ad Hoc Committee of Noteholders
with which DCC is discussing the potential for restructuring the DCC
Notes. A successful outcome of DCCs efforts to complete a
restructuring of the DCC Notes with the Ad Hoc Committee and its
other noteholders cannot be assured. See Note 16 and Item 1
of Part II for further information.
Debt Reclassification Danas bankruptcy filing triggered the immediate acceleration of the
Debtors direct financial obligations including, among others, outstanding non-secured notes issued
under our Indentures dated as of December 15, 1997; August 8, 2001; March 11, 2002 and December 10,
2004 and of DCCs obligations under the DCC Notes. The amounts accelerated under our Indentures
are characterized as unsecured debt for purposes of the reorganization proceedings. The related
Debtor obligations of $1,585 have been classified as liabilities subject to compromise (see Note
2) and the unsecured DCC notes have been classified as part of the current portion
of long-term debt, in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006. As a result
of the first quarter 2006 agreement to sell DCCs interest in a limited partnership, $55 of DCC
non-recourse
21
debt expected to be assumed by the buyer has been classified as a current liability at
March 31, 2006. Certain non-U.S. borrowings totaling $15 continue to be classified as
non-current debt.
Note 11. Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on events which have
occurred and are measured under enacted tax laws. Based on our recent history of losses in the
U.S. and our near-term prospects for continued losses, we established a 100% valuation allowance
against our U.S. deferred tax assets in the third quarter of 2005. Deferred tax assets resulting
from subsequent U.S. losses have been offset by increases in the valuation allowances, effectively
eliminating the benefit of those losses.
Since we no longer recognize income tax benefits on our U.S. losses, the income tax expense of $22
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 differs from the $32 tax benefit that would be expected
using a U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35%. Without those U.S. benefits, the income tax
expense reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements principally represents the tax
on profits of our non-U.S. operations at the expected annual effective tax rates.
We
recognized a $6 income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2005 on break-even
pre-tax income, primarily because we released a valuation allowance against tax assets resulting
from past operating losses of a Japanese subsidiary whose profitability supported elimination of
the valuation allowance.
Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Impact of Our Bankruptcy Filing Under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of our petition on March
3, 2006, automatically stayed most actions against us. All of our pre-petition liabilities will be
addressed under our plan of reorganization, if not otherwise addressed pursuant to orders of the
Bankruptcy Court.
Class Action Lawsuit and Derivative Actions Dana and certain of our current and former officers
are defendants in a consolidated securities class action pending in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Ohio. The plaintiffs in this action allege violations of the U.S. securities
laws and claim that the price at which Danas shares traded at various times between February 2004
and November 2005 was artificially inflated as a result of the defendants alleged wrongdoing.
Three shareholder derivative actions are also pending in the same
court naming our current directors, certain former
directors and certain current and former officers as defendants. Among other things, the plaintiffs in
these actions allege breaches of the defendants fiduciary duties to Dana arising from the same
facts on which the consolidated class action is based. In addition, the plaintiff in one of the
derivative actions has asserted claims characterizing Danas bankruptcy filing as having been made
in bad faith. Due to the preliminary nature of these lawsuits, at this time we cannot predict
their outcome or estimate Danas potential exposure related thereto. While we have insurance
coverage with respect to these matters and do not currently believe that any liabilities that may
result from these proceedings are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our
liquidity, financial condition or results of operations, there can be no assurance that the impact
of any loss not covered by insurance would not be material.
SEC Investigation In September 2005, we reported that management was investigating accounting
matters arising out of incorrect entries related to a customer agreement in our Commercial Vehicle
business unit and that our Audit Committee had engaged outside counsel to conduct an independent
investigation of these matters as well. Outside counsel informed the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the investigation,
which ended in December 2005, about when we filed restated financial statements for the first two
quarters
22
of 2005 and the years 2002 through 2004. In January 2006, we learned that the SEC had
issued a formal order of investigation with respect to matters related to our restatements. The
SECs investigation is a non-public, fact-finding inquiry to determine whether any violations of
the law have occurred. This investigation has not been suspended as a result of our bankruptcy
filing. We are continuing to cooperate fully with the SEC in the investigation.
Legal Proceedings Arising in the Ordinary Course of Business We are a party to various pending
judicial and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. These include,
among others, proceedings based on product liability claims and alleged violations of environmental
laws. We have reviewed these pending legal proceedings, including the probable outcomes, our
reasonably anticipated costs and expenses, the availability and limits of our insurance coverage
and surety bonds and our established reserves for uninsured liabilities. We do not believe that
any liabilities that may result from these proceedings are reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
Asbestos-Related
Product Liabilities Under the Bankruptcy Code, our pending asbestos-related
product liability lawsuits have been stayed during our reorganization process and claimants may not
commence new lawsuits against us on account of pre-petition claims. However, proofs of additional
asbestos claims may be filed in the Bankruptcy Cases either voluntarily by claimants or if a bar
date is established for asbestos claims. Our obligations with respect to asbestos claims will be
addressed pursuant to our plan of reorganization, if not otherwise addressed pursuant to orders of
the Bankruptcy Court.
We had approximately 76,000 active pending asbestos-related product liability claims at March 31,
2006, compared to 77,000 at December 31, 2005, including, 9,000 and 10,000 claims respectively,
that were settled but awaiting final documentation and payment. We had accrued $96 for indemnity
and defense costs for pending asbestos-related product liability claims at March 31, 2006, compared
to $98 at December 31, 2005. We accrue for pending claims based on our claims settlement and
dismissal history.
Historically, we accrued only for pending asbestos-related product liability claims because we did
not believe our historical trend data was sufficient to provide us with a reasonable basis to
estimate potential costs for future demands. In the third quarter of 2005, we concluded that our
historical claims activity had stabilized over a sufficient duration of time to enable us to
project possible future demands and related costs. Therefore, in consultation with Navigant
Consulting, Inc. (a specialized consulting firm providing dispute, financial, regulatory and
operational advisory services), we analyzed our potential future costs for such claims. The
methodology we used for projecting future asbestos-related product claims and costs is described in
our 2005 Form 10-K. Based on this analysis, we estimated our potential liability through 2020 to
be within a range of $70 to $120. Since the outcomes within that range are equally probable, the
accrual at March 31, 2006 represents the lower end of the range. While the process of estimating
future demands is highly uncertain, beyond 2020, we believe there are reasonable scenarios in which
our expenditures related to asbestos-related product liability claims would be de minimis.
At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had recorded $78 as an asset for probable recovery from
our insurers for the pending claims and currently projected demands. The asset recorded reflects our
assessment of the capacity of our current insurance agreements to provide for the payment of
anticipated defense and indemnity costs for pending claims and projected future demands, assuming
elections under our existing coverage, which we intend to adopt in order to maximize our insurance
recovery. The asset recorded does not represent the limits of our
insurance coverage, but rather the amount we would expect to recover
if we paid the accrued indemnity and defense costs.
At December 31, 2005, we had recorded a receivable of $8 in connection with an October 2005
settlement agreement with one of our insurers. We received a payment of $2 in the first quarter of
2006, with the remainder expected to be received this year. Proceeds from insurance commutations
are first applied to reduce any recorded recoverable amount. Any excess over the recoverable
amount is evaluated to assess whether any portion of the excess represents payments by the insurer
for potential future liabilities.
23
In addition, we had a net amount recoverable from our insurers and others of $19 at March 31, 2006,
compared to $15 at December 31, 2005. This recoverable represents reimbursements for settled
asbestos-related product liability claims, including billings in progress and amounts subject to
alternate dispute resolution proceedings with some of our insurers. As a result of the stay in our
asbestos litigation during the reorganization process, we do not expect to make any asbestos
payments in the near term. However, we are continuing to pursue insurance collections with respect
to asbestos-related amounts paid prior to the Filing Date.
Other Product Liabilities We had accrued $11 for contingent non-asbestos product liability costs
at March 31, 2006, compared to $13 at December 31, 2005, with no recovery expected from third
parties at either date. We estimate these liabilities based on assumptions about the value of the
claims and about the likelihood of recoveries against us, derived from our historical experience
and current information. If there is a range of equally probable outcomes, we accrue the lower end
of the range. The difference between our minimum and maximum estimates for these liabilities was
$10 at both dates.
Environmental Liabilities We had accrued $61 for contingent environmental liabilities at March
31, 2006, compared to $63 at December 31, 2005. We estimate these liabilities based on the most
probable method of remediation, current laws and regulations and existing technology. Estimates
are made on an undiscounted basis and exclude the effects of inflation. If there is a range of
equally probable remediation methods or outcomes, we accrue the lower end of the range. The
difference between our minimum and maximum estimates for these liabilities was $1 at both dates.
Included in these accruals are amounts relating to the Hamilton Avenue Industrial Park Superfund
site in New Jersey, where we are presently one of four potentially responsible parties. Our
estimated liabilities for the three Operable Units (OUs) at this site at March 31, 2006 remained
unchanged from our estimates at December 31, 2005: $1 for future remedial work and past costs
incurred by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at OU 1 relating to off-site
soil contamination; $14 for future remedial work at OU 2 relating to on-site soil contamination;
and less than $1 at OU 3 for the costs of a remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS)
pertaining to groundwater contamination. Our obligations at this site occurred before the Filing
Date and we believe they constitute pre-petition debt. Consequently, we have discontinued our work
in connection with the OU 3 RI/FS and informed EPA that, as an unsecured creditor, it will receive
notice of the bar date for filing a proof of claim.
Other
Liabilities Related to Asbestos Claims Until 2001, most of our asbestos-related claims were
administered, defended and settled by the CCR, which settled claims for its member companies on a
shared settlement cost basis. In that year, the CCR was reorganized and discontinued negotiating
shared settlements. Since then, we have independently controlled our legal strategy and
settlements, using Peterson Asbestos Consulting Enterprise (PACE), a unit of Navigant Consulting,
Inc., to administer our claims, bill our insurance carriers and assist us in claims negotiation and
resolution. Some former CCR members defaulted on the payment of their shares of some of the
CCR-negotiated settlements and some of the settling claimants have sought payment of the unpaid
shares from Dana and the other companies that were members of the CCR at the time of the
settlements. We have been working with the CCR, other former CCR members, our insurers and the
claimants over a period of several years in an effort to resolve these issues. Through March 31,
2006, we had paid $47 to claimants and collected $29 from our insurance carriers with respect to
these claims. At March 31, 2006, we had a net receivable of $13 that we expect to recover from
available insurance and surety bonds relating to these claims. We are continuing to pursue
insurance collections with respect to asbestos-related amounts paid prior to the filing of our
bankruptcy petition.
Assumptions
The amounts we have recorded for contingent asbestos-related liabilities and
recoveries are based on assumptions and estimates reasonably derived from our historical experience
and current information. The actual amount of our liability for asbestos-related claims and the
effect on us could differ materially from our current expectations if our assumptions about the
outcome of the pending unresolved bodily injury claims, the volume and outcome of projected future
bodily injury claims, the outcome of claims relating to the CCR-negotiated settlements, the costs
to resolve these claims and the amount of available insurance and surety bonds prove to be
incorrect, or if currently proposed U.S. federal legislation impacting asbestos personal injury
claims is enacted.
24
Although we have projected our liability for asbestos-related product liability
claims that may be brought against us in the future based upon historical trend data that we deem
to be reliable, there can be no assurance that our actual liability will not differ from what we
currently project.
Note 13. Warranty Obligations
We record a liability for estimated warranty obligations at the time our products are sold.
Adjustments are made as new information becomes available. Changes in our warranty liabilities are

In June 2005, we changed our method of accounting for warranty liabilities from estimating the
liability based on the credit issued to the customer, to accounting for the warranty liabilities
based on our costs to settle the claim. Management believes that this is a change to a preferable
method in that it more accurately reflects the cost of settling the warranty liability. In
accordance with GAAP, the $6 pre-tax cumulative effect of the change was effective as of January 1,
2005 and was reflected in the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
Warranty obligations are reported as current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance
sheet.
Note 14. Divestitures, Discontinued Operations and Realignment of Operations
Divestitures
During 2006 and 2005, we continued to sell DCC assets in individually structured transactions and
achieved further reductions primarily through normal portfolio runoff. We reduced DCCs assets by
approximately $50 and $75 and recognized after-tax losses of $8 and after-tax gains of $2 in the
first quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
On February 28, 2006, DCC signed a purchase and sale agreement to sell its remaining interest in a
limited partnership that owns and operates a hotel, apartment and commercial complex. Accordingly,
DCC recorded a $14 provision to reduce the asset carrying value of $98 to the fair value less cost
to sell, based upon the agreed selling price. The partnership also includes $55 of nonrecourse
debt that will be assumed by the buyer at time of sale. The transaction is expected to close by
September 30, 2006; accordingly, the investment and nonrecourse debt were reclassified to current
accounts during the first quarter of 2006.
Discontinued Operations
The engine
hard parts, fluid products and pump products businesses that we intend to divest in 2006 are
aggregated and presented as discontinued operations. Although the
Bankruptcy Court would be required to approve the actual sales, the plans to
divest these businesses were authorized by the Bankruptcy Court. As
such, these businesses continue to be reported as discontinued
operations.

The results of operations of the
discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31,
2006 and 2005 are as follows:

Other
income (expense) of the discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2006 includes a non-cash provision of $28 in
connection with the planned sale of these businesses. Recent cost
increases on certain raw materials
used in these businesses negatively impacted our profit outlook and
expected proceeds. Net assets were affected by capital expenditures and currency fluctuations. As a result, the additional charge was recorded to adjust the carrying value of the net
assets in these businesses to fair value less estimated costs to sell.
The assets and liabilities of discontinued operations reported in the condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 consisted of the following:

At March 31, 2006, $52 of restructuring charges remained in accrued liabilities. This balance
was comprised of $39 for the reduction of approximately 1,350 employees to be completed in 2006 and
$13 for lease terminations and other exit costs. The estimated annual cash expenditures will be
approximately $24 in the remainder of 2006, $5 in 2007 and $23 thereafter.
Completion
of realignment initiatives generally occurs over multiple reporting
periods. In connection with the realignment initiatives that had not
yet been completed at March 31, 2006, we have expensed $87 since the
underlying plans were approved and announced, including $1 in the
three months ended March 31, 2006. In addition to the $52
accrued at March 31, 2006, we estimate that an additional $36
will be expensed in connection with the completion of the pending
initiatives. The following table provides project-to-date and
estimated future expenses for completion of our realignment
initiatives by business unit.

Note 15. Segments
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes
standards for reporting information about operating segments and related disclosures about products
and services and geographic locations. SFAS No. 131 requires reporting on a single basis of
segmentation. The components that management establishes for purposes of making decisions about an
enterprises operating matters are referred to as operating segments.
We
currently have three operating segments two manufacturing
business units (ASG and HVTSG) and one
non-manufacturing business unit (DCC).
Management evaluates the operating segments as if DCC were accounted for on the equity method of
accounting rather than on the fully consolidated basis used for external reporting. This is done
because DCC is not homogeneous with our manufacturing operations, its financing activities do not
support the sales of our other operating segments and its financial and performance measures are
inconsistent with those of our other operating segments. Moreover, the financial covenants
contained in the DIP Credit Agreement are measured with DCC accounted for on an equity basis.

Operating profit after tax (OPAT) is the key internal measure of performance used by
management, including our chief operating decision maker, as a measure of segment profitability.
With the exception of DCC, OPAT represents earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), tax effected
at 39% (our estimated long-term effective rate), plus equity in earnings of affiliates. Net
profit (loss), which is OPAT less allocated corporate expenses and net interest expense, provides a
secondary measure of profitability for our segments that is more comparable to that of a free
standing entity. The allocation is based on segment sales because it is readily calculable, easily
understood and, we believe, provides a reasonable distribution of the various components of our
corporate expenses among our diverse business units. Because the accounting guidance does not
permit the allocation of corporate expenses to discontinued operations and we have elected not to
allocate interest expense to discontinued operations, we have included the corporate expenses and
interest expense previously allocated to the three businesses held for sale in 2005 that were
previously included in ASG, in Other in the segment tables. These
amounts totaled $6 and $7 in
the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. We believe this avoids distorting the net profit
(loss) previously reported for the remaining business units and presents amounts indicative of the
reduced level of corporate expenses and interest expense anticipated following the sale of the
three held-for-sale businesses.
The Other category also includes businesses unrelated to the segments, trailing liabilities for
certain closed plants and the expense of corporate administrative functions. In addition, Other
includes interest expense net of interest income, elimination of inter-segment income and
adjustments to reflect the actual effective tax rate. In the net profit (loss) column, Other
includes the net profit or loss of businesses not assigned to the segments and certain divested
businesses (but not discontinued operations), minority interest in earnings and the tax
differential.
We have been divesting DCCs businesses and assets in accordance with plans announced in October
2001 and these activities continued during 2006. Primarily as a result of asset sales and normal
run-off, DCCs total portfolio assets were reduced by $50 during the first three months of 2006,
leaving assets of approximately $510 (after a $55 reduction for non-recourse debt) at March
28
31,
2006. While we are continuing to pursue the sale of the remaining DCC portfolio assets, we expect
to retain certain of them for varying periods of time because tax attributes and/or market
conditions make disposal uneconomical at this time. As of March 31, 2006, we expected to retain
approximately $265 of the $510 of DCC assets held at that date; however, changes in market
conditions may alter this expectation. DCCs liabilities include certain asset-specific financing
and general obligations that are uneconomical to pay off in advance of their scheduled maturities.
Note 16. Subsequent Events
DCC Notes - Danas bankruptcy filing created an event of default under DCCs outstanding
medium-term and private-placement notes (the DCC Notes). DCC is engaged in discussions with an Ad
Hoc Committee formed by certain of its noteholders regarding the potential for restructuring the
DCC Notes. Other noteholders that are not part of the Ad Hoc Committee have advised DCC that
events of default occurred under their note agreement as a result of DCCs failure to pay the
principal due in April 2006 on the note issued thereunder and have filed a lawsuit against DCC
for non-payment of the $7 of principal and interest accrued on such note. A successful outcome of
DCCs efforts to complete a restructuring of the DCC Notes with the Ad Hoc Committee and its other
noteholders cannot be assured.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(in millions)
Overview
General
We are a leading supplier of axle, driveshaft, frame, sealing and thermal products. Our people
design and manufacture products for every major vehicle producer in the world. We are focused on
being an essential partner to light automotive, commercial truck and off-highway vehicle customers.
We employ 44,000 people in 28 countries, with world headquarters in Toledo, Ohio. Our Internet
address is: www.dana.com.
This management discussion and analysis (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with our condensed
consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.
Reorganization Proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
On March 3, 2006 (the Filing Date), Dana Corporation and forty of its wholly-owned domestic
subsidiaries (collectively, the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under the
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
Neither DCC nor any of our non-U.S. affiliates commenced any bankruptcy proceedings. See Note 1 to
our condensed consolidated financial statements for a list of the wholly-owned subsidiaries
included in the Bankruptcy Cases.
The Bankruptcy Cases are being jointly administered, with the Debtors managing their businesses in
the ordinary course as debtors in possession subject to the control and supervision of the
Bankruptcy Court. We intend to continue normal business operations during the Bankruptcy Cases
while we evaluate our business both financially and operationally and implement comprehensive
improvements as appropriate to enhance performance. We intend to proceed with previously announced
divestiture and restructuring plans, which include the sale of several non-core businesses, the
closure of certain facilities and the shift of production to lower-cost locations. In addition, we
intend to take steps to reduce costs, increase efficiency and enhance productivity so that we
emerge from bankruptcy as a stronger, more viable company. We intend to effect fundamental, not
incremental, change to our business. While we cannot predict with precision how long the
reorganization process will take, it could take upward of 18 months.
In March 2006, the Bankruptcy Court granted final approval of our DIP Credit Agreement, under which
we may borrow up to $1,450. This facility provides funding to continue our operations without
29
disruption to our obligations to suppliers, customers and employees during the Chapter 11
reorganization process. The Bankruptcy Court has also entered a variety of orders designed to
permit us to continue to operate on a normal basis post-petition (i.e., after the Filing Date).
These include orders authorizing us to continue our consolidated cash management system, pay
employees
their accrued pre-petition (i.e., pre-Filing Date) wages and salaries, honor our obligations to our
customers and pay some or all of the pre-petition claims of foreign vendors and certain suppliers
that are critical to our continued operation, subject to certain restrictions.
An official committee of the Debtors unsecured creditors has been appointed in the Bankruptcy
Cases and, in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, will have the right to be
heard on all matters that come before the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors are required to bear
certain of the committees costs and expenses, including those of their counsel and financial
advisors.
Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors have the right to assume or reject executory contracts
(i.e., contracts that are to be performed by the contract parties after the Filing Date) and
unexpired leases, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and other limitations. In this context,
assuming an executory contract or unexpired lease means that the Debtors will agree to perform
their obligations and cure certain existing defaults under the contract or lease and rejecting
them means that the Debtors will be relieved of their obligations to perform further under the
contract or lease, which will give rise to a pre-petition claim for damages for the breach thereof.
In March and April 2006, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to reject certain unexpired
leases and subleases.
We anticipate that substantially all of the Debtors liabilities as of the Filing Date will be
addressed under, and treated in accordance with, a plan of reorganization to be proposed to and
voted on by their creditors in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Although we
intend to file and seek confirmation of such a plan, there can be no assurance as to when we will
file the plan or that the plan will be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and consummated. Nor can
there be any assurance that we will be successful in achieving our reorganization goals, or that
any measures that are achievable will result in sufficient improvement to our financial position.
Accordingly, until the time the Debtors emerge from bankruptcy there will be no certainty about our
ability to continue as a going concern. If the reorganization is not completed, we could be forced
to sell a significant portion of our assets to retire outstanding debt or, under certain
circumstances, to cease operations.
While we continue our reorganization under Chapter 11, investments in our securities will be highly
speculative. Although shares of our common stock continue to trade on the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board under the symbol DCNAQ, the trading prices of the shares may have little
or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by the holders under any eventual court-approved
reorganization plan. The opportunity for any recovery by holders of our common stock under such
reorganization plan is uncertain and shares of our common stock may be cancelled without any
compensation pursuant to such plan.
Business
Our products are managed globally through two market-focused business units ASG and HVTSG. ASG
primarily supports the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of light vehicles, including light
trucks (sport utility vehicles (SUVs), pickup trucks, crossover vehicles (CUVs) and vans) and
passenger cars, and manufactures driveshafts for the commercial vehicle market. HVTSG supports the
medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial truck (Class 5 through Class 8), bus and off-highway vehicle
markets, with more than 90% of its sales in North America and Europe. The primary markets for
off-highway vehicles are construction and agriculture.

Trends in Our Markets
Changing Consumer Preferences Light trucks comprise our primary business within the light vehicle
market. In recent years, light truck sales have generally been stronger than those of passenger
cars as consumer interest in SUVs and CUVs increased. More recently, however, the higher price of
gasoline has negatively impacted the traditional light truck market. SUVs in particular have
experienced a significant drop in demand, largely attributable to higher fuel prices and an
increased interest in CUVs and, to a lesser extent, in passenger cars.
Despite the 4.2% increase in North American light vehicle production during the first quarter of 2006 when compared to the first quarter in 2005, we continue to project
a modest decrease for the year.
At March 31, 2006, light vehicle inventories were in line with production, about 4.5% above the
seasonal average of 69 days. Inventory of light trucks, however, was at 78 days, while that of
passenger cars was at 57 days.
OEM Pricing Pressures Negatively impacting us as well has been a continuing market share decline
experienced by our two largest customers Ford Motor Company (Ford) and General Motors Corporation
(GM). Light trucks have been important to the profitability of
companies like Ford and GM, and the decline in production and recent use of incentives by these companies have exerted
increased pressure on their financial performance. As a result, we and other suppliers in the
light vehicle market face the challenge of continued price reduction pressure from these customers.
High Commodity Prices The increased cost of steel, other raw materials and energy has had a
significant adverse impact on our results and those of others in our industry for the past two
years. With steel in particular, suppliers began assessing price surcharges and increasing base
prices during the first quarter of 2004 and these continued throughout 2005 and into 2006. While
leverage is clearly on the side of the steel suppliers at the present time, we have taken actions
to mitigate the impact by consolidating purchases, taking advantage of OEMs resale programs where
possible, finding new global steel sources, identifying alternative materials and re-designing our
products to be less dependent on steel. We are also working with our customers to recover the
increases in the cost of steel, either in the form of increased selling prices or reductions in
price-downs that they expect from us.
31
Although scrap steel prices declined during mid-2005, they began increasing again during the latter
part of 2005. While average scrap steel prices for the first quarter of 2006 were down about 11%
over the first quarter of 2005, prices were up about 13% in
March 2006 when compared to March 2005, and
have continued increasing in April and May.
Cost increases on raw materials other than steel have been significant over the past year. First
quarter 2006 average prices for aluminum, copper and brass increased approximately 23%, 54% and
62%, over the first quarter of 2005.
2007 Heavy-Duty Truck Emissions Regulations With more stringent heavy-truck emission regulations
taking effect in North America in 2007, we expect that pre-buying in advance of these new
regulations will result in a strong 2006 commercial vehicle market. During the first quarter of 2006,
Class 8 North American production was up about 10%, with medium duty (Class 5-7) production down
about 5%. We recently increased our outlook for annual production in 2006 to 346,000 Class 8 units
and 234,000 Class 5-7 units. We expect that production in both categories will decline in 2007.
Customer and Supplier Bankruptcies Another issue facing our markets is both supplier and customer
bankruptcies. Bankruptcies in our industry can be very disruptive to pricing patterns and can
create a potential for supply disruptions or credit exposures.
New Business
A continuing major focus for us is growing our revenue through new business. In the OEM vehicular
business, new business programs are generally awarded to suppliers well in advance of the expected
start of production of a new model/platform. The amount of lead-time varies based on the nature of
the product, size of the program and required start-up investment. The awarding of new business
usually coincides with model changes on the part of vehicle manufacturers. Given the OEMs cost
and service concerns associated with changing suppliers, we expect to retain any awarded business
over the model/platform life, typically several years.
In our markets, concentration of business with certain customers in certain geographic regions is
common, so our efforts to achieve additional diversification are important. In the light vehicle
market, we have been successful in gaining new business with several manufacturers based outside of
the U.S. over the past several years. We expect to achieve greater customer diversity as this
business comes on stream and we expect to gain additional business with such customers.
Net new business is expected to contribute approximately $400, $440 and $95 of sales in 2006, 2007
and 2008. The majority of this net new business is outside North America with customers other than
the traditional Detroit-based Ford, General Motors and DaimlerChrysler (Big Three). We are
pursuing a number of additional opportunities that could further increase our new business for 2006
and beyond.
United States Profitability
Given the losses we have generated in recent years in the U.S. and the near-term prospects for
continued losses, we concluded in 2005 that it was not more likely than not that our U.S.
deferred tax assets would be realized in the future. Until such time as we are able to sustain
profitability in the U.S., any loss or profits attributable to the U.S. will not be tax-effected,
meaning that the before-tax profit or loss amount will flow through to net income.
Business Strategy
Our strategy is to operate efficiently as one integrated company focused on growing our core light-
and heavy-duty drivetrain products (axles and driveshafts), structures, sealing and thermal
businesses. This refocused product array will help us to better support our global automotive,
commercial vehicle and off-highway markets. Our strategy also includes achieving much stronger
cost and operating levels.
32
Our short-term strategy for 2006 is to continue normal business operations during the pendency of
the Bankruptcy Cases while we evaluate our business both financially and operationally and
implement
comprehensive improvements as appropriate to enhance performance. We have retained a third-party
financial advisor and a restructuring advisor to assist us in developing a Chapter 11
reorganization plan. We intend to utilize the reorganization process to help drive necessary
change in our U.S. operations in furtherance of our corporate strategy. We intend to effect
fundamental, not incremental, change to our business. While we cannot predict with precision how
long the reorganization process will take, it could take upwards of 18 months.
During 2006, we are continuing to pursue the following strategies:
|
|
Restructuring and consolidating manufacturing operations; |
|
|
|
Shifting more production to low-cost countries; |
|
|
|
Increasing the efficiency of production and non-production processes; |
|
|
|
Expanding sales with customers, particularly Asian and European light vehicle manufacturers,
non-North American Free Trade Agreement commercial vehicle customers and off-highway vehicle
manufacturers, to achieve a more balanced sales mix across our
customer base; and |
|
|
|
Narrowing our business and product focus by divesting non-core businesses. |
These strategies will be evaluated periodically against the objectives of our reorganization goals,
which are to improve near-term liquidity, modify our operating profile and modify our capital
structure to match our profit and cash generating abilities.
More detail on our current corporate strategies follows.
Restructuring and consolidating manufacturing operations.
We will close facilities in ASG and shift production in several other operations to balance
capacity and take advantage of lower cost locations:
|
|
The Buena Vista, Virginia axle facility will be closed and its
production consolidated into an existing facility in Dry Ridge,
Kentucky. |
|
|
|
The Bristol, Virginia driveshaft facility will be closed and its
production consolidated into our operations in Mexico. |
|
|
|
The assembly and component lines that support the steering shaft
business in the Lima, Ohio driveshaft facility will also be moved
to our operations in Mexico. |
To enhance efficiency, logistics and throughput in our Commercial Vehicle business, we have
completed the following actions to balance capacity and enhance manufacturing efficiencies in the
first quarter of 2006:
|
|
Service parts activities at our principal commercial vehicle parts
assembly facility in Henderson, Kentucky were moved to our service
parts operation in Crossville, Tennessee. |
|
|
|
Assembly activity has been increased at our facility in Monterrey,
Mexico to improve throughput at the Henderson plant. |
|
|
|
Gear production has been increased at our operation in Toluca,
Mexico to relieve constraints at our principal commercial vehicle
gear plant in Glasgow, Kentucky. |
Shifting production to low-cost countries such as Mexico, China and Hungary.
We signed a letter of intent in December 2005 with DESC S.A. de C.V. under which we will acquire
full ownership of several core operations based in Mexico. Under terms of the letter, Dana and
DESC would dissolve their existing joint venture partnership, Spicer S.A. de C.V., with Dana
assuming full ownership of operations that manufacture and assemble axles and driveshafts, as well
as forging and foundry operations in which we currently hold an indirect 49% interest. DESC, in
turn, would assume full ownership of the transmission and aftermarket gasket operations in which it
currently holds a 51% interest. This transaction is subject to execution of a definitive purchase
agreement and Bankruptcy Court approval.
33
We are
taking steps to implement a joint venture with Dongfeng Motor Co. Ltd. to develop and
produce commercial vehicle axles in China.
We recently began assembling off-highway axles and transmissions in Gyor, Hungary. This new
facility currently employs about 50 people in the assembly, testing, painting and packaging of
axles and transmissions for agricultural and construction vehicles. These products are supporting
both European and export markets.
Increasing the efficiency of production and non-production processes.
We will continue to focus on the day-to-day execution of our productivity and efficiency processes,
which are critical to strengthening our performance. Our lean manufacturing and Six Sigma teams
are focused on increasing efficiencies and reducing costs in our production facilities. Our value
analysis/value engineering (VA/VE) teams will continue their efforts to remove cost from products
already being manufactured, as well as those still in development.
Our support functions, including purchasing, information technology, finance and human resources,
will continue their various efficiency and cost-reduction efforts. These efforts have gained
momentum as the support functions continue to shift to a centralized structure from their
previously decentralized organizations.
Streamlining administrative processes and reducing headcount through attrition are expected to
account for much of the targeted reduction in our salaried workforce of at least five percent in
2006. This reduction, coupled with changes to employee benefit plans, is expected to generate
incremental cost savings of more than $40 in 2006 when compared to 2005.
Expanding sales with certain customers to achieve a more balanced sales mix across our customer
base.
While continuing to support the Big Three, we will strive to further diversify our sales across our
customer base. The opportunity here is illustrated by the fact that we already serve every major
vehicle maker in the world in the light, commercial and off-highway vehicle markets.
We have achieved double-digit sales growth with European and Asian light-vehicle manufacturers over
the past several years. These customers will account for six of the top ten product launches for
ASG in 2006. Our success on this front has been achieved, in part, through our expanding global
operations and affiliates. Our people and facilities in Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia,
Uruguay, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, India, China, Australia, South Africa, United Kingdom and Spain
are actively supporting the global platforms of our foreign-based customers today.
Approximately 80% of our current book of net new business involves customers other than the
traditional Big Three. Approximately 70% of these customers are based outside North America.
Our Commercial Vehicle Systems business, which currently operates predominantly in North America is
pursuing sales outside this region, and we expect the joint venture
in China with Dongfeng, when
implemented, to provide an opportunity to grow the non-U.S. sales of
this business.
Approximately two-thirds of our Off-Highway Systems Groups sales already occur outside North
America and we are continuing to aggressively pursue new business in this market.
Narrowing our business and product focus by divesting non-core businesses.
In order to more fully leverage our strengths and to secure acceptable profit levels, we intend to
narrow the breadth of our product lines through the divestiture of three businesses: engine hard
parts, fluid products and pump products. Collectively, these businesses employ approximately 9,800
people worldwide and represent annual sales of approximately $1,200. These businesses were
classified as discontinued operations during the fourth quarter of 2005.

Organic sales increased $52, or 2%, in part as a result of new business that came on stream in
the first quarter of 2006. Also contributing to higher total sales were heavy vehicle production
levels. A stronger Class 8 commercial vehicle market in North America resulted in an approximately
10% increase in unit production. Elsewhere in our heavy vehicle markets, Class 5-7 medium duty
commercial vehicle production was down about 5% and off-highway production levels were relatively
comparable year over year. In our biggest market the light duty vehicles overall first quarter
2006 production was up 4.2% compared to 2005. However, our sales are mostly to the light
truck
35
segment of this market where first quarter 2006 production in North America declined about
3%, with the vehicles having large Dana content being down even more. Light vehicle production
levels elsewhere in the world were relatively flat.
Regionally, our North American sales decrease in the first quarter 2006 was due to lower overall
light truck production levels, and in particular lower production levels on vehicles with
significant Dana content. This was offset some by stronger Class 8 commercial vehicle production
levels in the first quarter of 2006 and contributions from net new business. The currency-related
increase is due to a stronger Canadian dollar. In Europe, the sales increase was due to net new
business, principally in
its off-highway market. A weaker Euro in the first quarter of 2006 offset some of the organic sales
increase.
By business segment, the organic sales decrease in ASG was primarily due to lower North American
production of light trucks having significant Dana content. Contributions from net new business
offset some of the production level decline. Customary price reductions in this market also
contributed to lower sales. HVTSG, on the other hand, benefited from both net new business,
principally in its off-highway business, and the previously mentioned stronger Class 8 commercial
vehicle production level in North America.

In ASG, despite comparable sales on a year-on-year basis, gross margin less SG&A declined
1.0%. Material costs increased approximately $14 with higher prices on certain raw materials like
aluminum, brass and copper and increased fuel costs being the principal factors. In the automotive
market, we have had very limited success passing these higher costs on to customers. In fact, our
margins continue to be adversely affected by price reductions to customers. As we sought to
minimize supply chain disruption associated with our bankruptcy filing on March 3, 2006, we
incurred some higher premium freight costs and other production inefficiencies which negatively
impacted first quarter 2006 margins. In combination with higher fuel costs, this resulted in higher
outbound freight costs of $5. Higher quality and warranty related expense also reduced
year-over-year margins by $5. While ASG margins continue to benefit from cost savings from programs
like lean manufacturing and value engineering, these programs have only partially offset the margin
reduction caused by the above factors.
Gross margin less SG&A in HVTSG was down 0.3% in the first quarter 2006 when compared to last year,
despite stronger sales. Like ASG, HVTSG has experienced some higher raw material prices. However,
in this business, we have recovered some of these higher costs from our customers in the form of
price increases. HVTSG margins in 2006 were also negatively impacted by $4 due to sales
36
mix. Sales
were lower in our higher-margin service parts business as we used production to satisfy the strong
OEM customer demand.
Corporate expenses and other costs not allocated to the business units reduced gross margins less
SG&A by 3.6% for the first quarter of 2006 compared to 3.2% in 2005. During the first quarter of
2006, we incurred advisory and legal costs in connection with the arrangements for a new borrowing
facility that was intended to replace our previously existing bank revolver and asset
securitization facilities. While the costs associated with our DIP Credit Agreement are reported as
part of reorganization expenses, the costs associated with negotiating the potential predecessor
arrangement, which was not effectuated, are included in SG&A. Professional advisory costs relating
to operational improvement projects were also higher in 2006. In the aggregate, higher advisory
costs relating to the financing and operational projects reduced margins by approximately $6. Also
negatively impacting margins in the first quarter of 2006 was $1 of stock option expense associated
with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) and pension settlement cost of $4 resulting from increased
lump-sum pension payments.
Other income (expense)
As described in Note 14, other income in 2006 includes a $14 charge associated with DCCs sale of a
partnership interest.
Interest expense
As a result of our Chapter 11 reorganization process, a substantial portion of our debt obligations
are now subject to compromise. Effective with our filing for reorganization under Chapter 11,
interest expense is no longer accrued on these obligations. The post-filing interest expense not
recognized in the first quarter of 2006 on these obligations amounted
to $8.
Reorganization charges
Reorganization charges are expenses
directly attributed to our Chapter 11 reorganization process.
See Note 2 for a summary of these costs. Reorganization charges
reported in the three months ended March 31, 2006 include
pre-petition debt valuation adjustments and underwriting fees
related to the DIP Credit Agreement. The debt valuation
adjustments and the underwriting fees associated with the DIP Credit
Agreement are associated with the initial phase of the reorganization
and generally represent one-time charges.
Income tax (expense) benefit
During the third quarter of 2005, we determined that a valuation allowance against our net deferred
tax assets in the U.S. was appropriate, based on our current and expected level of profitability in
the U.S. Consequently, tax benefits have not been recognized on subsequent losses in the U.S. The
tax provision reflected in the first quarter of 2006 financial statements relates primarily to
non-U.S. operations. The primary factor resulting in income tax expense of $22 during the first
quarter of 2006, as compared to a tax benefit of $32 that would be expected based on the 35% U.S.
statutory income tax rate, is the discontinued recognition of tax benefits on U.S. losses.
During the first quarter of 2005,
we were still recognizing tax benefits on U.S. losses. The $6 tax
benefit recognized during the first quarter of 2005 exceeded the tax benefit expected at a 35%
federal U.S. tax rate primarily as a result of releasing valuation allowances against tax assets
resulting from past operating losses of a Japanese subsidiary whose profitability supported
elimination of the valuation allowance.
Discontinued Operations
In October 2005, our Board approved the divestiture of three businesses (engine hard parts
products, fluid products and pump products) with approximately 9,800 people in 44 operations
worldwide, representing annual revenues of more than $1,200. Although
the Bankruptcy Court would be required to approve the actual sales,
the plans to divest these businesses were authorized by the
Bankruptcy Court. As such, these businesses continue to be reported
as discontinued operations.

An analysis of the net sales and the
income (loss) from discontinued operations of these businesses for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, grouped by business segment, is shown in the table below:

The loss
from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2006 includes an
additional non-cash provision of $28 in
connection with the planned sale of these businesses. Recent increases in certain raw materials
used in these businesses negatively impacted our profit outlook and
expected proceeds from the sales of
these businesses. As such, the additional charge was recorded to adjust the carrying value of the net
assets in these businesses to fair value less estimated costs to sell.

Cash of $1
was provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2006 as
compared to a use of $212 in 2005,
primarily because of the lower use of cash for working capital requirements. The principal factor
is the higher level of accounts payable resulting from non-payment of amounts owed prior to our
bankruptcy filing which are now classified as liabilities subject to compromise. Accounts payable
increased $353 in 2006 as compared to $106 in 2005. Receivables are customarily lower at the end of the
calendar year as December sales are seasonally lower as customers lower production during the
holidays. The increase in receivables during the first quarter of 2006 was $313 as compared to
$229 in 2005.

Capital spending increased in the first quarter of 2006 because we had delayed certain
expenditures during the second half of 2005. The 2006 outlays were again focused on opportunities
to leverage technology and support new customer programs. Capital spending for 2006 is not
expected to exceed our full year capital spend estimate of $300.

Financing Activities
Pre-Petition
Financing Before the Filing Date, we had a five-year bank facility, maturing on
March 4, 2010, which provided $400 of borrowing capacity and an accounts receivable securitization
program that provided up to a maximum of $275 to meet periodic demand for short-term financing.
The obligations under these facilities at the time of our bankruptcy filing were paid off with the
proceeds of the DIP Credit Agreement.
DIP Credit Agreement We currently have drawn $700 of our $1,450 of borrowing capacity under the
DIP Credit Agreement.
Debt Reclassification Danas bankruptcy filing triggered the immediate acceleration of the
Debtors direct financial obligations including, among others, outstanding non-secured notes issued
under our Indentures dated as of December 15, 1997; August 8, 2001; March 11, 2002 and December 10,
2004 and DCCs obligations under the DCC Notes. The amounts accelerated under our Indentures are
characterized as unsecured debt for purposes of the reorganization proceedings. The related Debtor
obligations of $1,585 have been classified as liabilities subject to compromise (see Note 2) and
the unsecured DCC Notes have been classified as part of the current portion of
long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006. As a result of
the first quarter 2006 agreement to sell DCCs interest in a limited partnership, $55 of DCC
non-recourse debt expected to be assumed by the buyer has been
classified as a current liability at
March 31, 2006. Certain international borrowings totaling $15 continue to be classified as
non-current debt.
Cash Obligations Under various agreements, we are obligated to make future cash payments in fixed
amounts. These include payments under our long-term debt agreements, rent payments required under
operating lease agreements and payments for equipment, other fixed assets and certain raw
materials. The following table summarizes our fixed cash obligations over various future periods.

Due to our bankruptcy filing, we are not able to determine the amounts and timing of our
contractual cash obligations. Accordingly, the preceding table reflects the scheduled maturities
based on the original payment terms specified in the underlying agreements and contracts. Future
payment timing and amounts are expected to be modified as a result of our reorganization under
Chapter 11.
The unconditional purchase obligations principally comprise commitments for procurement of fixed
assets and the purchase of raw materials.
We have a number of sourcing arrangements with suppliers for various component parts used in the
assembly of certain of our products. These arrangements include agreements to procure certain
outsourced components that we had manufactured ourselves in earlier years. These agreements do not
contain any specific minimum quantities that we must order in any given year, but generally require
that we purchase the specific component exclusively from the supplier over the term of the
agreement. Accordingly, our cash obligations under these agreements are not fixed. However, if we
were to estimate volumes to be purchased under these agreements based on our forecasts for 2006 and
assume that the volumes were constant over the respective contract periods, the annual purchases
under those agreements where we estimate the annual volume would exceed $20 would be as follows:
$529, $371, $369, $332 and $589 in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010
and thereafter.
Other long-term liabilities include estimated obligations under our retiree healthcare programs,
our estimated 2006 contributions to our U.S. defined benefit pension plans and payments under our
long-term agreement with IBM for the outsourcing of certain human resource services that began in
June of 2005. Obligations under the retiree healthcare programs are not fixed commitments and will
vary depending on various factors, including the level of participant utilization and inflation.
Our estimates of the payments to be made through 2010 took into consideration recent payment trends
and certain of our actuarial assumptions. We have not estimated pension contributions beyond 2006
due to uncertainty resulting from our bankruptcy filing.
We procure tooling from a variety of suppliers. In certain instances, in lieu of making progress
payments on the tooling, we may guarantee a tooling suppliers obligations under its credit
facility secured by the specific tooling purchase order. At March 31, 2006, there was $2 of
guarantees outstanding under this program.
At
March 31, 2006, we maintained cash deposits of $107, which may not be withdrawn, to provide
credit enhancement for certain lease agreements and to support surety bonds that allow us to
self-insure our workers compensation obligations. These financial instruments are typically
renewed each year.
In connection with certain of our divestitures, there may be future claims and proceedings
instituted or asserted against us relative to the period of our ownership or pursuant to
indemnifications or guarantees provided in connection with the respective transactions. The
estimated maximum potential amount of payments under these obligations is not determinable due to
the significant number of divestitures and lack of a stated maximum liability for certain matters.
In some cases, we have insurance coverage available to satisfy claims related to the divested
businesses. We believe that payments, if any, in excess of amounts provided or insured related to
such matters are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity,
financial condition or results of operations.

Contingencies
Impact of Our Bankruptcy Filing Under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of our petition on March
3, 2006, automatically stayed most actions against us. Substantially all of our pre-petition
liabilities will be addressed under our plan of reorganization, if not otherwise addressed pursuant
to orders of the Bankruptcy Court.
Class Action Lawsuit and Derivative Actions Dana and certain of our current and former officers
are defendants in a consolidated securities class action pending in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Ohio. The plaintiffs in this action allege violations of the U.S. securities
laws and claim that the price at which Danas shares traded at various times between February 2004
and November 2005 was artificially inflated as a result of the defendants alleged wrongdoing.
Three shareholder derivative actions are also pending in the same
court naming our current directors, certain former
directors and certain current and former officers as defendants. Among other things, the plaintiffs in
these actions allege breaches of the defendants fiduciary duties to Dana arising from the same
facts on which the consolidated class action is based. In addition, the plaintiff in one of the
derivative actions has asserted claims characterizing Danas bankruptcy filing as having been made
in bad faith. Due to the preliminary nature of these lawsuits, at this time we cannot predict
their outcome or estimate Danas potential exposure related thereto. While we have insurance
coverage with respect to these matters and do not currently believe that any liabilities that may
result from these proceedings are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our
liquidity, financial condition or results of operations, there can be no assurance that the impact
of any loss not covered by insurance would not be material.
SEC Investigation In September 2005, we reported that management was investigating accounting
matters arising out of incorrect entries related to a customer agreement in our Commercial Vehicle
business unit and that our Audit Committee had engaged outside counsel to conduct an independent
investigation of these matters as well. Outside counsel informed the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) of the investigation, which ended in December 2005, about when we filed restated
financial statements for the first two quarters of 2005 and the years 2002 through 2004. In
January 2006, we learned that the SEC had issued a formal order of investigation with respect to
matters related to our restatements. The SECs investigation is a non-public, fact-finding inquiry
to determine whether any violations of the law have occurred. This investigation has not been
suspended as a result of our bankruptcy filing. We are continuing to cooperate fully with the SEC
in the investigation.
Legal Proceedings Arising in the Ordinary Course of Business We are a party to various pending
judicial and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. These include,
among others, proceedings based on product liability claims and alleged violations of environmental
laws. We have reviewed these pending legal proceedings, including the probable outcomes, our
reasonably anticipated costs and expenses, the availability and limits of our insurance coverage
and surety bonds and our established reserves for uninsured liabilities. We do not believe that
any liabilities that may result from these proceedings are reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
Asbestos-Related
Product Liabilities Under the Bankruptcy Code, our pending asbestos-related
product liability lawsuits have been stayed during our reorganization process and claimants may not
commence new lawsuits against us on account of pre-petition claims. However, proofs of additional
asbestos claims may be filed in the Bankruptcy Cases either voluntarily by claimants or if a bar
date is established for asbestos claims. Our obligations with respect to asbestos claims will be
addressed pursuant to our plan of reorganization, if not otherwise addressed pursuant to orders of
the Bankruptcy Court.
We had approximately 76,000 active pending asbestos-related product liability claims at March 31,
2006, compared to 77,000 at December 31, 2005, including, respectively, 9,000 and 10,000 claims
that were settled but awaiting final documentation and payment. We had accrued $96 for indemnity
and defense costs for pending asbestos-related product liability claims at March 31, 2006, compared
41
to $98 at December 31, 2005. We accrue for pending claims based on our claims settlement and
dismissal history.
Historically, we accrued only for pending asbestos-related product liability claims because we did
not believe our historical trend data was sufficient to provide us with a reasonable basis to
estimate potential costs for future demands. In the third quarter of 2005, we concluded that our
historical claims activity had stabilized over a sufficient duration of time to enable us to
project possible future demands and related costs. Therefore, in consultation with Navigant
Consulting, Inc. (a specialized consulting firm providing dispute, financial, regulatory and
operational advisory services), we analyzed our potential future costs for such claims. The
methodology we used for projecting future asbestos-related product claims and costs is described in
our 2005 Form 10-K. Based on this analysis, we estimated our potential liability through 2020 to
be within a range of $70 to $120. Since the outcomes within that range are equally probable, the
accrual at March 31, 2006 represents the lower end of the range. While the process of estimating
future demands is highly uncertain, beyond 2020, we believe there are reasonable scenarios in which
our expenditures related to asbestos-related product liability claims would be de minimis.
At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had recorded $78 as an asset for probable recovery from
our insurers for the pending claims and currently projected demands. The asset recorded reflects our
assessment of the capacity of our current insurance agreements to provide for the payment of
anticipated defense and indemnity costs for pending claims and projected future demands, assuming
elections under our existing coverage, which we intend to adopt in order to maximize our insurance
recovery. The asset recorded does not represent the limits of our
insurance coverage, but rather the amount we would expect to recover
if we paid the accrued indemnity and defense costs.
At December 31, 2005, we had recorded a receivable of $8 in connection with an October 2005
settlement agreement with one of our insurers. We received a payment of $2 in the first quarter of
2006, with the remainder expected to be received this year. Proceeds from insurance commutations
are first applied to reduce any recorded recoverable amount. Any excess over the recoverable
amount is evaluated to assess whether any portion of the excess represents payments by the insurer
for potential future liabilities.
In addition, we had a net amount recoverable from our insurers and others of $19 at March 31, 2006,
compared to $15 at December 31, 2005. This recoverable represents reimbursements for settled
asbestos-related product liability claims, including billings in progress and amounts subject to
alternate dispute resolution proceedings with some of our insurers. As a result of the stay in our
asbestos litigation during the reorganization process, we do not expect to make any asbestos
payments in the near term. However, we are continuing to pursue insurance collections with respect
to asbestos-related amounts paid prior to the Filing Date.
Other Product Liabilities We had accrued $11 for contingent non-asbestos product liability costs
at March 31, 2006, compared to $13 at December 31, 2005, with no recovery expected from third
parties at either date. We estimate these liabilities based on assumptions about the value of the
claims and about the likelihood of recoveries against us, derived from our historical experience
and current information. If there is a range of equally probable outcomes, we accrue the lower end
of the range. The difference between our minimum and maximum estimates for these liabilities was
$10 at both dates.
Environmental Liabilities We had accrued $61 for contingent environmental liabilities at March
31, 2006, compared to $63 at December 31, 2005. We estimate these liabilities based on the most
probable method of remediation, current laws and regulations and existing technology. Estimates
are made on an undiscounted basis and exclude the effects of inflation. If there is a range of
equally probable remediation methods or outcomes, we accrue the lower end of the range. The
difference between our minimum and maximum estimates for these liabilities was $1 at both dates.
Included in these accruals are amounts relating to the Hamilton Avenue Industrial Park Superfund
site in New Jersey, where we are presently one of four potentially responsible parties. Our
estimated liabilities for the three Operable Units (OUs) at this site at March 31, 2006 remained
unchanged from our estimates at December 31, 2005: $1 for future remedial work and past costs
incurred by the United
42
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at OU 1 relating to off-site soil contamination; $14
for future remedial work at OU 2 relating to on-site soil contamination; and less than $1 at OU 3
for the costs of a remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) pertaining to groundwater
contamination. Our obligations at this site occurred before the Filing Date and we believe they
constitute pre-petition debt. Consequently, we have discontinued our work in connection with the
OU 3 RI/FS and informed EPA that, as an unsecured creditor, it will receive notice of the bar date
for filing a proof of claim.
Other
Liabilities Related to Asbestos Claims Until 2001, most of our asbestos-related claims were
administered, defended and settled by the CCR, which settled claims for its member companies on a
shared settlement cost basis. In that year, the CCR was reorganized and discontinued negotiating
shared settlements. Since then, we have independently controlled our legal strategy and
settlements, using Peterson Asbestos Consulting Enterprise (PACE), a unit of Navigant Consulting,
Inc., to administer our claims, bill our insurance carriers and assist us in claims negotiation and
resolution. Some former CCR members defaulted on the payment of their shares of some of the
CCR-negotiated settlements and some of the settling claimants have sought payment of the unpaid
shares from Dana and the other companies that were members of the CCR at the time of the
settlements. We have been working with the CCR, other former CCR members, our insurers and the
claimants over a period of several years in an effort to resolve these issues. Through March 31,
2006, we had paid $47 to claimants and collected $29 from our insurance carriers with respect to
these claims. At March 31, 2006, we had a net receivable of $13 that we expect to recover from
available insurance and surety bonds relating to these claims. We are continuing to pursue
insurance collections with respect to asbestos-related amounts paid prior to the filing of our
bankruptcy petition.
Assumptions
The amounts we have recorded for contingent asbestos-related liabilities and
recoveries are based on assumptions and estimates reasonably derived from our historical experience
and current information. The actual amount of our liability for asbestos-related claims and the
effect on us could differ materially from our current expectations if our assumptions about the
outcome of the pending unresolved bodily injury claims, the volume and outcome of projected future
bodily injury claims, the outcome of claims relating to the CCR-negotiated settlements, the costs
to resolve these claims and the amount of available insurance and surety bonds prove to be
incorrect, or if currently proposed U.S. federal legislation impacting asbestos personal injury
claims is enacted. Although we have projected our liability for asbestos-related product liability
claims that may be brought against us in the future based upon historical trend data that we deem
to be reliable, there can be no assurance that our actual liability will not differ from what we
currently project.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the interim financial statements involves the use of certain estimates that
differ from those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements, the most significant
of which relates to income taxes. For purposes of preparing our interim financial statements we
utilize an estimated annual effective tax rate for ordinary items that is re-evaluated each period
based on changes in the components used to determine the annual effective rate. As described in Notes 1 and 2, we have applied SOP 90-7 which includes among its
requirements the separate reporting of liabilities subject to compromise and reorganization items (costs and income). Except for the addition of these items, our critical
accounting estimates, as described in our 2005 Form 10-K, are unchanged. See Note 3 for additional
information.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various types of market risks including fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates, adverse movements in commodity prices for products we use in our manufacturing and
adverse changes in interest rates. To reduce our exposure to these risks, we maintain risk
management controls to monitor these risks and take appropriate actions to attempt to mitigate such
forms of market risks. There have been no material changes to our market risk exposure discussed
in our 2005 Form 10-K.
43
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that the information disclosed in the reports we file with the SEC under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and
Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Based on the continued existence of the material weaknesses discussed in Item 9A of our 2005 Form
10-K, management, including our CEO and CFO, has concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2006.
You can find more information about the material weaknesses, their impact on our disclosure
controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting, and the actions we have
taken or are planning to take to remediate the material weaknesses in Item 9A of our 2005 Form
10-K.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP.
With the participation of our CEO and CFO, our management evaluates any changes in our internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during each fiscal quarter which materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, such internal control. During the quarter ended
March 31, 2006, the following changes to our internal controls occurred:
|
|
In response to the filing by Dana Corporation and forty of its wholly-owned subsidiaries for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, Dana introduced processes to (i) determine Debtors pre- and post-petition
liabilities and identify those liabilities subject to compromise, (ii) assess claims received from creditors, (iii)
determine the proper accounting treatment for negotiations with suppliers, (iv) determine the proper accounting for
accepted and rejected executory contracts, and (v) determine which costs should be reflected as operating expenses and
those that should be reflected as reorganization charges; |
|
|
|
Our Board appointed Kenneth A. Hiltz as our Chief Financial Officer on March 7, 2006; and |
|
|
|
We continued deployment of, and training for, our account reconciliation software to our major facilities to allow
access and review of reconciliations from a central location, as discussed in Item 9A of our 2005 Form 10-K. |
CEO and CFO Certifications The Certifications of our CEO and CFO, which are attached as Exhibits
31-A and 31-B, include information about our disclosure controls and procedures and internal
control over financial reporting. These Certifications should be read in conjunction with the
information contained in this Item 4 and in Item 9A of our 2005 Form 10-K for a more complete
understanding of the matters covered by the Certifications.
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On March 3, 2006, Dana Corporation and forty of its wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary
petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Under the Bankruptcy Code,
the filing of a petition automatically stayed most actions against the Debtors, including most
actions to collect pre-petition indebtedness or to exercise control over the property of the bankruptcy estates.
Substantially all of our pre-petition liabilities will be addressed under our plan of
reorganization, if not otherwise addressed pursuant to orders of the Bankruptcy Court.
44
As previously reported and as described herein, we are a party to a pending pre-petition securities
class action and pending shareholder derivative actions, as well as various pending judicial and
administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business (including both pre-petition
and subsequent proceedings), and we are cooperating with the SECs formal investigation with
respect to matters related to the restatement of our financial statements for the first two
quarters of 2005 and years 2002 through 2004. After reviewing the currently pending lawsuits and
proceedings (including the probable outcomes, reasonably anticipated costs and expenses,
availability and limits of our insurance coverage and surety bonds and our established reserves for
uninsured liabilities), we do not believe that any liabilities that may result are reasonably
likely to have a materially adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of
operations.
There have been no material developments in the legal proceedings we reported in our 2005 Form
10-K, or any new matters that we are required to report in this quarterly report, except as
follows. On May 3, 2006, Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and The Great-West Life
Assurance Company filed an action against DCC in U.S. District Court for the Northern Division of
Illinois, Eastern Division under the caption Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and The
Great-West Life Assurance Company vs. Dana Credit Corporation. The plaintiffs in this action
allege that DCC defaulted in the payment of sums that became due and payable on a promissory note
at its maturity, on or about April 8, 2006, and breached the corresponding note agreement. The
plaintiffs seek payment of the unpaid principal and accrued interest on the note in the aggregate
amount of approximately $7.3 and reimbursement of their fees and expenses associated with
enforcement of the note. DCC has filed an answer which denies the allegations central to this
complaint.
You can find more information about our legal proceedings in Note 12 to our condensed consolidated
financial statements and in Item 2 of Part 1.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have
been no material changes to the risk factors discussed in our 2005
Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
Dana Indentures Danas bankruptcy
filing triggered the immediate acceleration of certain
direct financial obligations, including, among others, an aggregate
of $1,623 in principal and accrued interest of currently outstanding non-secured notes issued under our Indentures
dated as of
45
December 15, 1997; August 8, 2001; March 11, 2002; and December 10, 2004. See Note 10 to our
condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
DCC
Notes Danas bankruptcy filing created an event of default under DCCs outstanding medium-term
and private placement notes. See Notes 10 and 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements
for additional information.
