PART I

ITEM 1 — BUSINESS

         Dana was founded in 1904 as the first supplier of universal joints to the automotive industry. Today, we are one of the world’s largest independent suppliers of components, modules and systems to global vehicle manufacturers and related aftermarkets. Our products are sold to the automotive, commercial vehicle, and off-highway markets, and are used in the manufacturing of passenger cars and vans, light trucks, sport-utility vehicles (SUVs), and medium and heavy duty vehicles, as well as in a range of off-highway applications. Each of the markets we serve consists of original equipment (OE) production, OE service, and aftermarket segments. Each of these businesses has a strong market position and brand equity and provides our customers with value-added manufacturing. We have long been a leader in technological innovation in our industry and many of our products possess features that are unique and patented. As evidenced by our numerous supplier quality awards, we are highly focused on product quality, as well as delivery and service. As a result, we have developed long-standing business relationships with many of the thousands of customers that we serve worldwide.

         In order to optimally align our foundation businesses with the markets they support, our operations are organized into the following market-focused strategic business units (SBUs):

    Automotive Systems Group (ASG) — ASG produces light duty axles, driveshafts, structural products (such as engine cradles and frames), transfer cases, original equipment brakes and integrated modules and systems for the light vehicle market and driveshafts for the heavy truck market. ASG generated sales of $3.7 billion in 2001. The group has over 120 facilities and employs over 21,000 people in 23 countries. Among this group’s largest customers are Ford, DaimlerChrysler and General Motors.
 
    Automotive Aftermarket Group (AAG) — AAG sells primarily hydraulic brake components and disc brakes for light vehicle applications, internal engine hard parts, chassis products and a complete line of filtration products for a variety of applications. In addition, it sells electrical, brake, power transmission, steering and suspension system components in the United Kingdom and continental Europe. AAG generated sales of $2.5 billion in 2001. AAG has over 120 facilities and over 19,000 people in 26 countries. Among this group’s largest customers are Genuine Parts/NAPA, CARQUEST and AutoZone.
 
    Engine and Fluid Management Group (EFMG) — EFMG serves the automotive, light to heavy truck, leisure and outdoor power equipment and industrial markets with sealing products, internal engine hard parts, electronic modules, sensors, and an extensive line of products for the pumping, routing and thermal management of fluid systems. EFMG was formed in December 2001, by combining the former Engine Systems Group (ESG) and Fluid Systems Group (FSG). EFMG generated sales of $2.1 billion in 2001. The group has over 120 facilities and over 20,000 people in 17 countries. Among this group’s largest customers are Ford, DaimlerChrysler and General Motors.
 
    Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS) — CVS is a major supplier of heavy axles and brakes, drivetrain components, and trailer products to the medium and heavy truck markets. It also assembles modules and systems for heavy trucks. CVS generated sales of $1.1 billion in 2001. The group has 20 facilities and over 4,000 people in eight countries. Among this group’s largest customers are Volvo/Renault V.I./Mack, PACCAR and Navistar International.
 
    Off-Highway Systems Group (OHSG) — OHSG sells axles and brakes, transaxles, power-shift transmissions, torque converters and electronic controls to the construction, agriculture, mining, specialty chassis, outdoor power, material handling, forestry and leisure/utility equipment markets. OHSG generated sales of $621 million in 2001. OHSG has 13 facilities and over 3,000 people in seven countries. Among this group’s largest customers are Manitou, AGCO and Sandvik Tamrock.

         For some time, we have also been a leading provider of lease financing services in selected markets through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Dana Credit Corporation (DCC). With an asset base of $2.3 billion at the end of 2001, DCC and its subsidiaries provide leasing and financing services to selected markets primarily in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and continental Europe. In October 2001, we determined that the sale of DCC’s businesses would allow us to focus on our foundation businesses and create an opportunity for DCC’s businesses to enhance their competitive positions within other corporate structures. We are presently pursuing the sale of the businesses of DCC.

         This SBU alignment reflects our SBU structure at the end of 2001. Several changes were made to the SBUs during 2001, the most significant of which was the combination of the Engine Systems Group and the Fluid Systems Group to form the Engine and Fluid Management Group. You can find more information in “Note 13. Business Segments” on pages 27 – 29 of our 2001 Annual Report.

ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE SUMMARY

         For information regarding acquisitions and divestitures completed in 2001 see “Note 18. Acquisitions” and “Note 19. Divestitures” on page 32 of our 2001 Annual Report.

STRATEGY

         Our overall strategic direction is set out in our Transformation 2005 business plan. Our goals under this plan represent an increased emphasis on anticipating the needs of our markets and serving our customers. The following are key elements of our plan:

Focus and Expand Foundation Businesses. We believe that our foundation businesses are the key to the long-term profitable growth of our company. These businesses have leading market positions and brand equity and provide our customers with value-added solutions and products. In connection with the restructuring actions announced last October, we are accelerating the alignment of these businesses with the markets they serve. As our OE customers target improved asset utilization, speed to market, lower cost, lower investment risk, and greater flexibility, they increasingly look for outsourcing alternatives. We expect that our global presence and technological and engineering capabilities, as well as our experience, scale of operations and long-standing relationships with major OE customers, will enable us to continue to take advantage of this opportunity. We have been awarded net new business that is projected, based on our review of our customers’ production estimates, to add approximately $6 billion in total revenues from 2002 through 2006. We are encouraged by the new awards, especially since they include business not only with our traditional U.S.-based OE customers, but also with OEs based outside the United States.

Focus on Capital and Operating Efficiency. We continue to focus on opportunities to optimize our resources and reduce manufacturing costs. We have undertaken initiatives to maximize our return on invested capital and to improve cash flow. We expect the combination of our ESG and FSG business units to improve our capital efficiency and we are continuing to explore opportunities to better leverage the combined manufacturing, engineering and support capabilities of our CVS and OHSG units. On the operational side, we are focused on outsourcing non-core manufacturing activity, reducing working capital and managing for cash.

Evaluate Strategic Alliances, Joint Ventures and Selected Divestiture and Acquisition Opportunities. Among the keys to our business model is the concept of capitalizing on strategic alliances and joint ventures. Such relationships offer opportunities to expand our capabilities with a reduced level of investment and enhance our ability to provide the full scope of services required by our customers. We have formed a number of innovative alliances, starting with our Roadranger™ marketing program with Eaton Corporation, which has been highly successful in leveraging our collective strengths to market Dana and Eaton products for heavy truck drivetrain systems. We also have strategic alliances with GETRAG Cie, to strengthen our portfolio of advanced axle technologies; Motorola Inc., to integrate its electronic expertise into the development of advanced technology for traditionally mechanical components; and Bühler Motor Inc., to provide advanced automotive motor-module technologies and manufacturing expertise to support our product applications. We continue to evaluate potential strategic alliances and joint ventures in order to gain access to advanced technology, strengthen our market position and our global presence and reduce our overall manufacturing costs.

         In October 2001, we determined that the sale of DCC’s business would allow us to focus on our foundation businesses and we are currently pursuing the sale of the DCC businesses. We are also continuing to evaluate other non-core operations for divestiture.

         We also evaluate potential acquisition candidates that have product platforms complementary to our foundation businesses, strong operating potential and strong existing management teams. Although our current focus is on divestitures, we believe that targeted acquisitions will help us achieve our long-term objectives. We have substantial experience in completing and integrating acquisitions that have provided us with opportunities to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency through synergies in manufacturing processes, coordination of raw material purchases, rationalization of administrative staff, and technical capabilities.

2001 OVERVIEW

         We began the year 2001 experiencing the fluctuations in production runs that resulted from our original equipment (OE) customers trying to balance existing inventories and production schedules with the demands of an uncertain marketplace. Our efforts were focused on trying to scale our businesses to levels that would get us below conservative estimates for production and avoid the underabsorption of overhead that adversely affected our operating results in 2000. The second quarter provided the first signs that production schedules, while well below prior year levels, might be returning to more predictable patterns and that the efforts to downsize our operations were having a positive effect. Sales in our Automotive Systems Group rose 5% over the first quarter after falling 25% during the four previous quarters. Our automotive aftermarket business also reported measurable sales growth for the first time since the middle of 1999, and consolidated profit after tax increased substantially from the first quarter on a modest overall sales gain.

         The optimism generated during the second quarter faded as we moved through the third quarter. Dealer inventory of light vehicles, especially models that are key to Dana, was increasing again despite increased incentives, and additional days were carved out of OE production schedules already reduced by seasonal closings. Hopes for a general recovery in the economy, which would have benefited the vehicular markets, were swept away in the days following September 11. The terrorist attacks resulted in immediate changes in how people and products were transported, especially movement across international borders. For a period of time, production schedules based on just-in-time deliveries were severely impacted by the delays resulting from increased security. The United States acknowledged that its economy was in a recession and consumer confidence declined amid uncertainty as to how long the weakness would last.

         We faced the extraordinary challenges posed by the situation by making a number of difficult decisions that were necessary to properly align our resources with customer demand, ensure an adequate return on committed capital and preserve cash. In October, we initiated a review of our operations which led to the announcement discussed below.

RESTRUCTURING

         On October 17, 2001, we announced plans to accelerate the restructuring of our operations and to reduce our workforce globally by more than 15%. More than 30 facilities have been reviewed for consolidation or closure. We currently expect that the after-tax charges in relation to this restructuring will total approximately $445 million. About 63% of these charges were incurred in the fourth quarter of 2001, with the balance expected to be incurred in 2002. We expect that 34% of these charges will be non-cash; most of the cash portion will be severance costs related to the workforce reduction. We anticipate that 79% of the charges will be related to our North American operations. We estimate that 58% of the charges will be incurred by our business units primarily serving the light vehicular OE marketplace (ASG and EFMG) and 25% will be incurred by AAG. We are also pursuing the sale of the businesses of DCC. Although we are presently unable to estimate the proceeds from this sale, we do not expect to incur a loss in relation to the sale.

GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS

         We maintain administrative organizations in four regions – North America, Europe, South America and Asia Pacific – to facilitate financial and statutory reporting and tax compliance on a worldwide basis and to support our SBUs.

         Our operations are located in the following countries (shown by the regions in which we administer them):

                 
North America   Europe   South America   Asia Pacific

 
 
 
Canada   Austria   Netherlands   Argentina   Australia
Mexico   Belgium   Poland   Brazil   China
United States   France   Russia   Colombia   Indonesia
    Germany   Slovakia   South Africa   Japan
    Hungary   Spain   Uruguay   Singapore
    India   Sweden   Venezuela   South Korea
    Ireland   Switzerland       Taiwan
    Italy   Turkey       Thailand
        United
  Kingdom
       

         Our non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates manufacture and sell a number of products similar to those we produce in the U.S. In addition to normal business risks, operations outside the U.S. may be subject to a greater risk of changing political, economic and social environments, changing governmental laws and regulations, currency revaluations and market fluctuations.

         Consolidated non-U.S. sales were $3.4 billion, or 33% of our 2001 consolidated sales. Including U.S. exports of $649 million, non-U.S. sales accounted for 39% of 2001 consolidated sales. Non-U.S. net income was $10 million, as compared to a consolidated net loss of $298 in 2001. This amount includes $24 million of equity in earnings of non-U.S. affiliates in 2001.

         You can find more information about regional operating results in “Note 13. Business Segments” on pages 27 — 29 of our 2001 Annual Report.

CUSTOMER DEPENDENCE

         We have thousands of customers around the world and have developed long-standing business relationships with many of them. Our attention to quality, delivery and service has been recognized by numerous customers who have awarded us with supplier quality awards. Ford and DaimlerChrysler were the only individual customers accounting for more than 10% of our consolidated sales in 2001. We have been supplying products to these companies and their subsidiaries for many years. Sales to Ford, as a percentage of total sales, were 16%, 19% and 18% in 1999, 2000 and 2001, and sales to DaimlerChrysler were 14%, 14% and 11%. Loss of all or a substantial portion of our sales to Ford, DaimlerChrysler or other large volume customers would have a significant adverse effect on our financial results until such lost sales volume could be replaced. There would be no assurance, in such event, that the lost volume would be replaced.

         Ford, DaimlerChrysler and some of our other customers periodically ask us to reduce the prices of our products to them. We discuss cost saving measures with these customers on an ongoing basis, but cannot assure that we will be able to maintain or improve our historical levels of profitability in light of these requests.

PRODUCTS

         The following table presents our relative sales by product for the last three years:

         We do not consider our leasing service revenue to be sales and none of our other products individually accounts for 10% of sales.

MATERIAL SOURCE AND SUPPLY

         Most of the raw materials (such as steel) and semi-processed or finished items (such as forgings and castings) used in our products are purchased from suppliers located within the geographic regions of our operating units. Generally, these materials are available from numerous qualified sources in quantities sufficient for our needs. Temporary shortages of a particular material or part occasionally occur, but we do not consider the overall availability of materials to be a significant risk factor for our operations.

SEASONALITY

         Our businesses are not seasonal. However, sales to our manufacturing customers are closely related to the production schedules of those manufacturers and historically those schedules have been strongest in the first two quarters of the year.

BACKLOG

         Generally, our products are not on a backlog status. They are produced from readily available materials and have a relatively short manufacturing cycle. Each operating unit maintains its own inventories and production schedules and many of our products are available from more than one facility. In connection with our October 2001 restructuring plan, we have been evaluating the production capacity for many of our products and the potential for outsourcing non-core content. During the fourth quarter of 2001, we announced the closure of 21 facilities, and we expect to announce additional closures in 2002 as we continue to implement this plan. These actions will enable us to eliminate excess capacity and lower our breakeven point.

Table of Contents

COMPETITION

         Our foundation businesses compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors which produce and sell similar products. These competitors include Visteon and Delphi, large parts manufacturers that previously were vertically-integrated units of Ford and General Motors, and a number of other U.S. and non-U.S. suppliers. Our traditional U.S.-based OE customers, facing substantial foreign competition, have expanded their worldwide sourcing of components to better compete with lower cost imports. In addition, these customers have been shifting research and development, design and validation responsibilities to their key suppliers, focusing on stronger relationships with fewer suppliers. We have established operations throughout the world to enable us to meet these competitive challenges and to be a strong global supplier of our core products.

         In the area of leasing services, we compete in selected markets with various international, national and regional leasing and financing organizations.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

         Our proprietary drivetrain, engine parts, chassis, structural components, fluid power systems and industrial power transmission product lines have strong identities in the markets we serve. Throughout these product lines, we manufacture and sell our products under a number of patents which have been obtained over a period of years and expire at various times. We consider each of these patents to be of value and aggressively protect our rights throughout the world against infringement. Because we are involved with many product lines, the loss or expiration of any particular patent would not materially affect our sales and profits.

         We own or have licensed numerous trademarks which are registered in many countries, enabling us to market our products worldwide. Our Spicer®, Perfect Circle®, FTE®, Victor Reinz®, Wix®, Weatherhead®, Boston®, Aimco®, Clevite®, Glacier® and Vandervell® trademarks, among others, are widely recognized in their respective industries.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

         Our objective is to be a leader in offering superior quality, technologically advanced products and systems to our customers at competitive prices. To enhance quality and reduce costs, we use statistical process control, cellular manufacturing, flexible regional production and assembly, global sourcing and extensive employee training.

         In addition, we engage in ongoing engineering, research and development activities to improve the reliability, performance and cost-effectiveness of our existing products and to design and develop new products for existing and new applications. Our spending on engineering, research and development and quality control programs was $290 million in 1999, $287 million in 2000 and $260 million in 2001.

EMPLOYMENT

         Our worldwide employment (including consolidated subsidiaries) was approximately 70,000 at December 31, 2001.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

         We make capital expenditures in the normal course of business as necessary to ensure that our facilities are in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. The cost of environmental compliance was not a material part of our capital expenditures and did not have a material adverse effect on our earnings or competitive position in 2001. We do not anticipate that future environmental compliance costs will be material. You can find more information in “Environmental Compliance and Remediation” under “Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” on page 21 and under “Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies” on page 31 of our 2001 Annual Report.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         We are a party to various legal proceedings (judicial and administrative) arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings which involve environmental and product liability claims. You can find additional information in “Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies” on page 31 of our 2001 Annual Report and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 34-42 of our 2001 Annual Report.

         With respect to environmental claims, we are involved in investigative and/or remedial efforts at a number of locations, including “on-site” activities at currently or formerly owned facilities and “off-site” activities at “Superfund” sites where we have been named as a potentially responsible party. You can find more information about our accounting for such claims in “Environmental Compliance and Remediation” under “Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” on page 20 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 34-42 of our 2001 Annual Report.

         With respect to product liability claims, we are named in proceedings involving alleged defects in our products. Such proceedings currently include a large number of claims (most of which are for relatively small damage amounts) based on alleged asbestos-related personal injuries. At December 31, 2001, approximately 100,000 such claims were outstanding, of which approximately 27,000 were settled pending payment. We have agreements with our insurance carriers providing for the payment of a significant majority of the indemnity costs and the legal and administrative expenses for these claims. You can find additional information about our accounting for product liability claims under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 34-42 of our 2001 Annual Report.

WHEREAS, the Employee and the Corporation previously executed a Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Insurance Agreement (“Previous Agreement”) on April 30, 1989, to provide the Employee with a permanent universal life insurance policy subject to the terms of the Previous Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Employee and the Corporation desire to amend and restate the Previous Agreement in order to make several changes to the Previous Agreement; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
OWNERSHIP OF THE POLICY

1.1 Employee as Owner. The Employee shall be the owner of the policy or policies (which term shall include all supplemental riders or endorsements thereto) (hereinafter the “Policy”) and may exercise all ownership rights granted to the owner thereof by the terms of the Policy, except as may otherwise be provided herein. The Employee and the Corporation agree that the Policy shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 


 

1.2 Collateral Assignment. The Employee agrees to execute a collateral assignment (hereinafter the “Collateral Assignment”) to the Corporation to secure the Corporation’s rights under this Agreement, in the form required by or acceptable to the issuer of the Policy (hereinafter “the Issuer”). The Collateral Assignment shall set forth the rights of the Corporation in and with respect to the Policy pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Employee and the Corporation agree to be bound by the terms of the Collateral Assignment.

           (a) Corporation’s Rights. The Corporation’s rights with respect to the Policy shall be limited to:

 
(i) the right to obtain, directly or indirectly, one or more loans or advances against the cash value of the Policy, to the extent of, but not in excess of, the amount set forth in Article 4.4 (hereinafter the “Corporate Interest”), and the right to pledge or assign the Corporate Interest as security for such loans or advances; and
(ii) the right to realize up to the Corporate Interest of the cash value of the Policy on the full or partial surrender of the Policy; and
(iii) the right to realize the proceeds of the Policy as set forth in Article 3.2 (hereinafter the “Corporation’s Death Benefit Portion”), in the event of the death of the Employee; and
(iv) the right to release the Collateral Assignment upon receipt of the Corporate Interest.

           (b) Employee’s Rights. The Employee shall retain all rights as owner of the Policy, including, but not limited to, the following:

 
(i) the right to cause the full or partial surrender of the Policy; provided, however, that the Employee shall give the Corporation thirty (30) days advance written notice of his exercise of such right; and
(ii) the right to exercise all non-forfeiture or lapse option rights permitted by the terms of the Policy; and
(iii) the right to designate and to change the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the portion of the proceeds of the Policy payable, upon the death of the Employee, to the Employee’s beneficiary, pursuant to Article 3.1 (hereinafter the “Employee’s Death Benefit Portion”); and
(iv) the right to elect any optional form of settlement available with respect to the Employee’s Death Benefit Portion; and
(v) the right to assign the Employee’s rights in and with respect to the Policy.

 


 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, with the exception of the rights granted to the Employee in this Article 1.2(b), the Employee shall irrevocably waive all rights retained in the Policy until such time as this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 4.1 and payment of the Corporate Interest occurs.

ARTICLE 2
PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS

2.1 Premium. As used herein, the term “premium” shall mean the planned yearly amount agreed upon between the Corporation and the Employee as the contribution toward the Policy for any year; provided, however, that such amount shall never be less than the Policy’s minimum required premium for such year. “Premium” shall also include all costs associated with all supplemental riders and endorsements to the Policy.

2.2 Premium Payment; Timing. The Corporation shall pay the premium on the Policy to the Issuer on or before the due date of each premium payment, and in any event, no later than the expiration of the grace period under the Policy for such payment. Within the Policy year, the Corporation shall furnish the Employee with written notice of such payment. Within ten (10) days of the Employee’s receipt of such notice, unless such reimbursement is paid or deemed paid by the Employee, the Employee shall reimburse the Corporation for that portion of the premium payment equal to the amount of the annual cost of the pure insurance protection on the life of the Employee under the Policy for the ensuing Policy year. Such cost and corresponding reimbursement shall be equal to the Corporation’s choice of either of the following:

 
(a) that rate per $1,000 of pure insurance protection promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service in Rev. Rul. 55-747, 1955-2 C.B. 228, as the same may be amended or replaced from time to time by published ruling (hereinafter the “PS-58 rate”) as applied to such amount of pure insurance protection provided to the Employee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; or
(b) that current published rate per $1,000 of pure insurance protection charged by the Issuer for initial-issue individual one-year term insurance policies available to all standard risks as applied to such amount of pure insurance protection provided to the Employee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Article 2.2, if the Corporation shall fail to make any premium payment within twenty (20) days after its due date, then the Employee may make such premium payment, and the Corporation shall reimburse the Employee for the portion of such premium payment not payable by the Employee hereunder, within ten (10) days of the making of such premium payment by the Employee.

 


 

ARTICLE 3
RIGHTS UPON DEATH OF EMPLOYEE

3.1 Employee’s Death Benefit Portion. The Employee’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, shall be entitled to receive a Death Benefit Portion in an amount equal to three (3) times the Employee’s Annual Base Salary (“Pre-Retirement Benefit”) if the Employee was actively employed with the Corporation at the time of death. If the Employee’s death occurs following his Retirement, the Employee’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries shall be entitled to receive (i) if the Employee’s death occurs within one year of his Retirement date, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of his Pre-Retirement Benefit, or (ii) if the Employee’s death occurs beyond one year but within two years of his Retirement date, an amount equal to forty five percent (45%) of his Pre-Retirement Benefit, or (iii) if the Employee’s death occurs beyond two years but within three years of his Retirement date, an amount equal to forty percent (40%) of his Pre-Retirement Benefit, or (iv) if the Employee’s death occurs beyond three years but within four years of his Retirement date, an amount equal to thirty five percent (35%) of his Pre-Retirement Benefit, or (v) if the Employee’s death occurs beyond four years following his Retirement date, an amount equal to thirty three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of his Pre-Retirement Benefit. The Employee and the Corporation agree to conform the beneficiary designation of the Policy to the provisions hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, Annual Base Salary shall mean the base compensation of the Employee determined before reduction for any employee elective deferrals under a Code Section 401(k) or 125 plan of an Employer, paid or deemed paid by an Employer while in an employment classification as an Employee, but excluding bonuses, overtime, and other forms of incentive earnings or imputed income.

3.2 Corporation’s Death Benefit Portion. Upon the death of the Employee, the Corporation shall be entitled to receive the remaining proceeds of the Policy once the Employee’s Death Benefit Portion set forth in Article 3.1 has been paid to the Employee’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries.

ARTICLE 4
RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
OR SURRENDER OF POLICY

4.1 Termination Defined. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 
(a) death of the Employee while insured under the Policy; or
(b) the bankruptcy, receivership or dissolution of the Corporation; or
(c) the termination of employment of the Employee with the Corporation (other than by reason of the Employee’s Retirement); or

 


 

 
(d) the Employee’s notice of his intent to exercise his right to surrender the Policy, pursuant to Article 1.2 (b)(i); or
(e) the written Agreement of the Employee and the Corporation; or
(f) the removal of the Employee from the Corporation’s “A” or “B” payroll group.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation has the unilateral right at any time to terminate, amend or discontinue the Agreement and to receive the Corporate Interest described in Article 4.4 in such event.

Notwithstanding the language of this Article or any other provision of this Agreement, the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may delay termination of this Agreement if it is determined by the Corporation that adverse tax consequences with respect to the Corporation and/or the Employee can be avoided through such delay, or in order to increase the cash value in the Policy available to Employee. Alternatively or in addition to delaying the termination of this Agreement, the Corporation may in its sole discretion choose to reduce the amount due to the Corporation from the Employee’s Policy as Corporate Interest pursuant to Article 4.4 in order to increase the cash value in the Policy available to Employee.

4.2 Definition of Retirement. For purposes of Articles 3.1 and 4.1, “Retirement” shall mean termination of employment after having met the age and service eligibility requirements for Early Retirement or Normal Retirement under the Dana Corporation Retirement Plan (“CashPlus”), regardless of whether the Employee is actually a participant in CashPlus at the time of his termination.

4.3 Rights Upon Termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 4.1(a), Article 3 shall apply and the Agreement shall terminate only once the Employee Death Benefit Portion and the Corporate Death Benefit Portion has been paid pursuant to Article 3. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 4.1(b), 4.1(c), 4.1(d), 4.1(e) or 4.1(f), the Employee shall pay to the Corporation the amount determined pursuant to Article 4.4 . Upon receipt of such amount from the Employee, the Corporation shall take all steps necessary to release the Collateral Assignment so that the Employee shall own the Policy free of all encumbrances thereon in favor of the Corporation required by this Agreement.

4.4 Corporate Interest. The Corporation shall be entitled to receive either (a) from the Employee, as specified in Article 4.3 or (b) from the Issuer upon surrender, from the cash value of the Policy or (c) a withdrawal from the cash value in the Policy, an amount equal to the gross premiums paid by the Corporation, decreased by the sum of any indebtedness described in Article 1.2(a)(i) under the Policy.

 


 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event that the Employee has more than one Policy subject to this Agreement, the Corporation shall be entitled to receive and recover the Corporate Interest as described in this Article 4.4 from any of the Policies subject to this Agreement in whatever amounts the Corporation deems appropriate. In no case, however, shall the Corporation receive and recover more than the Corporate Interest, when such Corporate Interest in each Policy is aggregated, from all of the Policies subject to this Agreement. To make the meaning of the preceding sentence clear, all Policies on the life of the Employee which are subject to this Agreement are to be treated, in aggregate, as one policy for purposes of determining and recovering the Corporate Interest.

Dear Ed:

Congratulations on your upcoming retirement! In light of your retirement, and Dana Corporation’s (“Dana’s”) plan to sell the assets and businesses of Dana Credit Corporation (“DCC”) I thought it would be a good time to outline some of the issues related to your retirement and the upcoming transactions regarding DCC.

Upon your retirement, you agree that you will resign from any positions, including as an officer, that you hold at DCC and Dana. At that time, you will be elected by the Board of Directors of DCC as Chairman Emeritus of DCC.

Dana has agreed to offer you a retirement bonus of $1,000 (“Retirement Bonus”) to be payable on your retirement date and, in addition, has offered you a consulting agreement to provide general advisory services to Dana in connection with certain of the operations of DCC.

In consideration of this Retirement Bonus and the consulting agreement, you agree to execute a release satisfactory to Dana releasing Dana, its affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, employee benefit plans, representatives and agents and their successors and assigns from any and all employment-related claims you or your successors and beneficiaries might then have against them (excluding any claims you might then have under this Letter, the consulting agreement or any claims for vested benefits under any employee pension plan sponsored by Dana). A draft of such release is attached to this letter for your review. We would advise you to review this draft release carefully with the assistance of an attorney.

Please indicate your acceptance by signing below and returning to me by                                 , 2002.

  
  Sincerely yours,
  /s/ R. C. Richter
 
  for Dana Corporation
   
I agree to the terms described above.

(i) “After-Tax Profits” or “PAT” means the consolidated net income of DCC on an after-tax basis determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, consistently applied for the period from October 1, 2001, through December 31, 2002. For the purpose of determining PAT: (1) PAT is inclusive of any gains realized from the sales of the businesses or assets of DCC. Any capital gains recognized will be recorded without any tax expense. All other gains will be taxed at the appropriate federal statutory tax rate. (2) No tax reserves will be taken into income for purposes of determining PAT unless otherwise approved by Dana’s CFO or Vice President-Finance. (3) Credit reserves that are in excess of $ *** will be retained in DCC and will be taken into income for purposes of determining PAT. (4) With the exception of the retained assets identified on Schedule B attached hereto, any other assets remaining at December 31, 2002, will be adjusted to current realizable value (as approved by Dana’s CFO or Vice President-Finance) and such adjustment will be reflected in PAT. (5) Investment banking fees, any Performance Incentive Payments under this Agreement and any similar payments made to employees in connection with the sale of DCC will not be used in

3

December 21, 2001
 
determining PAT. (6) Legal fees relating to the sale of the assets or businesses of DCC or a Platform Sale and which are specifically authorized and approved by Dana’s General Counsel, will not be used in determining PAT. All other legal fees incurred in connection with the normal operations of DCC will be used in determining PAT.
PAT is subject to adjustment for the sales of the assets of DCC which occur prior to their scheduled lease termination. PAT will be reduced by the after-tax lease income (net of depreciation in the case of an operating lease) or interest income (in the case of a loan) that would otherwise have been recognized for the period from the date of the sale of such assets to December 31, 2002. PAT will be increased by the after-tax interest expense savings from the date of the sale of such assets to December 31, 2002, to the extent that the sale proceeds are used to retire DCC debt. PAT will be adjusted quarterly within 15 days of the last day of each quarter.
PAT shall be rounded to the nearest $1 million. PAT shall be determined (including the amount of any adjustments described in the prior paragraph) by Dana’s CFO or Vice President-Finance and verified by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
     
(ii)   “Cause” means: (1) the Consultant’s conviction of a felony; (2) the Consultant’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of his duties; or (3) the Consultant’s breach of a material term of this Agreement.
(iii)   “Closing Date" means the closing date of a Platform Sale.
(iv)   “Platform Sale” means the sale of all of the businesses and assets of DCC other than those retained assets that are identified on Schedule B attached hereto; provided, however, that the Vice President-Finance or CFO of Dana and the CEO or COO of Dana Commercial Credit Corporation can, by mutual agreement, determine that a substantial sale of the assets or businesses of DCC is a Platform Sale. In no event can there be more than one Platform Sale. A Platform Sale is only effective upon the Closing Date.

         5.     Expenses. Dana shall pay or reimburse Consultant for all reasonable, verifiable out-of-pocket travel expenses, which expenses shall be approved in advance by Dana, actually paid or incurred by Consultant in the performance of Consultant’s duties under this Agreement. Such expenses shall be reimbursed promptly upon receipt by Dana of expense statements or other supporting documentation.

         6.     Period of Service. The period for which Consultant will provide services under this Agreement will commence on February 1, 2002, and, unless earlier terminated under Section

7, will continue until the earlier of (i) December 31, 2003, or (ii) the closing date of the sale of the assets constituting at least 90% of the net book value of the assets of DCC (other than the retained assets listed on Schedule B) as of December 31, 2001, determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, confirmed by the CFO of Dana and verified by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

           (iii)          Consultant shall be entitled to any PIP that has been earned as of last day of Profits Period 4 (December 31, 2002) subject to and payable in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement.

                           (c)          For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means, a condition which exists by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment, which is of a long and continued duration and which renders Consultant unable to perform the services contracted for in this Agreement.

Consultant acknowledges that Dana is the rightful owner of any programs, ideas, inventions, discoveries, copyright material, or trademarks that Consultant may have originated or developed, or assisted in originating or developing, during the period of this Agreement, where any such origination or development involved the use of time performing services for Dana or the use of Dana’s resources, or the exercise of Consultant’s responsibilities for or on behalf of Dana. Consultant will at all times, both before and after the termination of this Agreement, cooperate with Dana in executing and delivering documents and taking any other actions that are necessary or requested by Dana to assist Dana in patenting, copyrighting, or registering any programs, ideas, inventions, discoveries, copyright material, or trademarks, and to vest title thereto in Dana.

DANA CORPORATION / Annual Report 2001

Management Statement

We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related information included herein for the three years ended December 31, 2001.

         The management of Dana Corporation is primarily responsible for the accuracy of the financial information that is presented in this annual report. These statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, where appropriate, we used our estimates and judgment with consideration to materiality.

         To meet management’s responsibility for financial reporting, we have established internal control systems which we believe are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that our assets are protected from loss. These systems produce data used for the preparation of financial information.

         We believe internal control systems should be designed to provide accurate information at a reasonable cost which is not out of line with the benefits to be received. These systems and controls are reviewed by our internal auditors in order to ensure compliance, and by our independent accountants to support their audit work.

         The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors meets regularly with management, internal auditors and our independent accountants to review accounting, auditing and financial matters. Our Audit Committee is composed of only outside directors. This committee and the independent accountants have free access to each other with or without management being present.

         We believe people are Dana’s most important asset. The proper selection, training and development of our people is a means of ensuring that effective internal controls and fair, uniform reporting are maintained as standard practice throughout the Company.

Report of Independent Accountants

(PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LOGO)

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Dana Corporation

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements of income, of shareholders’ equity and of cash flows, including pages 16 through 33, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dana Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Dana is a global leader in the engineering, manufacturing and distribution of components and systems for worldwide vehicular and industrial manufacturers and the related aftermarkets and a leading provider of lease financing services in selected markets through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dana Credit Corporation (DCC).

         The preparation of these financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Some of the more significant estimates include depreciation, amortization and impairment of long-lived assets; deferred tax assets and inventory valuations; sales returns, restructuring, environmental, product liability and warranty accruals; postemployment and postretirement benefits; residual values of leased assets and allowances for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         The following summary of significant accounting policies should help you evaluate the financial statements. Certain amounts in 1999 and 2000 have been reclassified to conform with the 2001 presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries in which we have the ability to control operating and financial policies. Affiliated companies (20% to 50% ownership) are generally recorded in the statements using the equity method of accounting. Operations of affiliates accounted for on the equity method of accounting are generally included for periods ended within one month of our year end. Less-than-20%-owned companies are included in the financial statements at the cost of our investment. Dividends, royalties and fees from these cost basis affiliates are recorded in income when received.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of subsidiaries and equity affiliates outside the United States (U.S.) located in non-highly inflationary economies are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate as the functional currency, which for the most part is the local currency. Transaction gains and losses which result from translating assets and liabilities of these entities into the functional currency are included in net earnings. When translating into U.S. dollars, income and expense items are translated at average monthly rates of exchange and assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments resulting from translating the functional currency into U.S. dollars are deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. For affiliates operating in highly inflationary economies, non-monetary assets are translated into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates and monetary assets are translated at current exchange rates. Translation adjustments for these affiliates are included in net earnings.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is generally determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis for U.S. inventories and on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost basis for non-U.S. inventories.

Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Arrangements

The cost of tooling used to make products sold under long-term supply arrangements is capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment and amortized over its useful life if we own the tooling. These costs are also capitalized and amortized if we fund the purchase but our customer owns the tooling and grants us the noncancelable right to use the tooling over the contract period. Costs incurred in connection with the design and development of tooling that will be billed to customers upon completion is carried as a component of other accounts receivable. Design and development costs related to customer products are deferred if we have an agreement to collect such costs from the customer; otherwise, they are expensed.

Lease Financing

Lease financing consists of direct financing leases, leveraged leases and equipment on operating leases. Income on direct financing leases is recognized by a method which produces a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding investment in the lease. Income on leveraged leases is recognized by a method which produces a constant rate of return on the outstanding net investment in the lease, net of the related deferred tax liability, in the years in which the net investment is positive. Initial direct costs are deferred and amortized using the interest method over the lease period. Equipment under operating leases is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Income from operating leases is recognized ratably over the term of the leases.

Allowance for Losses on Lease Financing

Provisions for losses on lease financing receivables are determined based on loss experience and assessment of inherent risk. Adjustments are made to the allowance for losses to adjust the net investment in lease financing to an estimated collectible amount. Income recognition is generally discontinued on accounts which are contractually past due and where no payment activity has occurred within 120 days. Accounts are charged against the allowance for losses when determined to be uncollectible. Accounts where asset repossession has started as the primary means of recovery are classified within other assets at their estimated realizable value.

Goodwill

Cost in excess of net assets of companies acquired generally has been amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of expected benefit, ranging from 10 to 40 years. The issuance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” was approved by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in June 2001. The new guidance changes the post-acquisition accounting for goodwill and certain intangible assets by discontinuing the amortization of these assets and requiring impairment testing at least annually. After recording the impact of adopting the Statement, any reductions in the carrying value of goodwill or certain intangible assets will be included in the results of operations. Adoption of SFAS No. 142 is required in 2002.

         We believe that the initial application of this Statement is likely to result in the impairment of a portion of our goodwill. We have substantially completed the first step of the initial impairment test required by the Statement and identified approximately $400 of goodwill that may be impaired based upon the new requirements. We will complete the impairment testing required to determine the actual amount of goodwill impairment in 2002.

20


 

Accordingly, we are unable to quantify the amount of impairment that may result from determining the implied fair value of the related goodwill at this time. Any adjustment of goodwill resulting from the initial assessment will be recognized as the effect of a change in accounting as of the beginning of 2002. The results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2002 would have included approximately $36 of goodwill amortization, including our share of amounts recorded by equity affiliates, if not for the adoption of SFAS No. 142.

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable consist primarily of loans to partnerships in which DCC has an interest and loans secured by equipment and first mortgages on real property. The loans to partnerships are collateralized by the partnerships’ assets. Income on all loans is recognized using the interest method. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized as cash is collected or on a cost recovery basis.

Allowance for Losses on Loans Receivable

Provisions for losses on loans receivable are determined on the basis of loss experience and assessment of inherent risk. Adjustments are made to the allowance for losses to adjust loans receivable to an estimated collectible amount. Income recognition is generally discontinued on accounts which are contractually past due and where no payment activity has occurred within 120 days. Accounts are charged against the allowance for losses when determined to be uncollectible.

Properties and Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are valued at historical costs. Depreciation is recognized over the estimated useful lives using primarily the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated depreciation methods for federal income tax purposes. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment and where appropriate are adjusted to fair market value.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized when products are shipped and title has transferred to the customer. Accruals for warranty costs, sales returns and other allowances are provided at the time of shipment based upon experience. Adjustments are made as new information becomes available. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in sales and the costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of sales.

Income Taxes

Current tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on the tax returns for the current year. Deferred tax balances reflect the impact of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Amounts are stated at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits not expected to be realized.

         The “flow-through” method of accounting is used for investment tax credits, except for investment tax credits arising from leveraged leases and certain direct financing leases for which the deferred method is used for financial statement purposes.

Financial Instruments

The reported fair values of financial instruments are based on a variety of factors. Where available, fair values represent quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates reflecting varying degrees of credit risk. Fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could be realized as of the balance sheet date or that will be realized in the future.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge our exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on a portion of our projected sales and purchase commitments. The changes in the fair value of these contracts are generally offset by exchange gains or losses on the underlying exposures. We also use interest rate swaps to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to balance the mix of our fixed and floating rate debt. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

         In January 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Transactions.” These Statements require, among other things, that all derivative instruments be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Interest rate swap arrangements have been formally designated as hedges. The effect of marking these contracts to market has been recorded as a direct adjustment of the underlying debt for those contracts designated as fair value hedges and as an adjustment of other comprehensive income for those contracts designated as cash flow hedges. Foreign currency forwards and other derivatives have not been designated as hedges and the effect of marking these instruments to market has been recognized in the results of operations. We will evaluate these transactions from time to time to determine whether they should be designated as hedges.

         The adoption of SFAS Nos.133 and 138 did not have a material effect on the results of operations.

Environmental Compliance and Remediation

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to existing conditions caused by past operations which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Estimated costs are based upon current laws and regulations, existing technology and the most probable method of remediation. The costs are not discounted and exclude the effects of inflation and other societal and economic factors. If the cost estimates result in a range of equally probable amounts, the lower end of the range is accrued.

Pension Plans

Annual net periodic pension costs under defined benefit pension plans are determined on an actuarial basis. Our policy is to fund these costs as accrued, including amortization of the initial unrecognized net obligation over 15 years and obligations arising due to plan amendments over the period benefited, through deposits with trustees. Benefits are determined based upon employees’ length of service, wages or a combination of length of service and wages.

Notes to Financial Statements

In millions except share and per share amounts

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

Annual net postretirement benefits liability and expense under the defined benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis. Our policy is to pay these benefits as they become due. Benefits are determined primarily based upon employees’ length of service and include applicable employee cost sharing.

Postemployment Benefits

Annual net postemployment benefits liability and expense under our benefit plans are accrued as service is rendered for those obligations that accumulate or vest and can be reasonably estimated. Obligations that do not accumulate or vest are recorded when payment of the benefits is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of reporting cash flows, we consider highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Cash and Marketable Securities

The majority of our marketable securities satisfy the criteria for cash equivalents and are classified accordingly. The remainder of our marketable securities are classified as available for sale. Available-for-sale securities, which are included in investments and other assets, are carried at fair value and any unrealized gains or losses, net of income taxes, are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in shareholders’ equity. Cash includes bank deposits of $31 that support letters of credit and may not be withdrawn under the terms of the arrangements.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. No compensation expense is recorded for stock options when granted as the option price is set at the market value of the underlying stock.

Note 2. Preferred Share Purchase Rights

We have a Preferred Share Purchase Rights Plan which is designed to deter coercive or unfair takeover tactics. One right has been issued on each share of our common stock outstanding on and after July 25, 1996. Under certain circumstances, the holder of each right may purchase 1/1000th of a share of our Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, no par value, for the exercise price of $110 (subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan). The rights have no voting privileges and will expire on July 15, 2006, unless exercised, redeemed or exchanged sooner.

         Generally, the rights cannot be exercised or transferred apart from the shares to which they are attached. However, if any person or group acquires (or commences a tender offer that would result in its acquiring) 15% or more of our outstanding common stock, the rights not held by the acquirer will become exercisable. In that event, instead of purchasing 1/1000th of a share of the Participating Preferred Stock, the holder of each right may elect to purchase from us the number of shares of our common stock that have a market value of twice the right’s exercise price (in effect, a 50% discount on our stock). Thereafter, if we merge with or sell 50% or more of our assets or earnings power to the acquirer or engage in similar transactions, any rights not previously exercised (except those held by the acquirer) can also be exercised. In that event, the holder of each right may elect to purchase from the acquiring company the number of shares of its common stock that have a market value of twice the right’s exercise price (in effect, a 50% discount on the acquirer’s stock).

         The Board may authorize the redemption of the rights at a price of $.01 each before anyone acquires 15% or more of our common shares. After that, and before the acquirer owns 50% of our outstanding shares, the Board may authorize the exchange of each right for one share of our common stock.

Note 3. Preferred Shares

There are 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, without par value, including 1,000,000 shares reserved for issuance under the Rights Plan. No shares of preferred stock have been issued.

Note 4. Common Shares

Certain of our employee and director stock plans provide that employees and directors may tender stock to satisfy the purchase price of the shares, the income taxes required to be withheld on the transaction, or both. In connection with these stock plans, we repurchased 304,927 shares in 1999, 91,074 in 2000 and 11,000 in 2001.

         During 1999, the Board of Directors (Board) authorized the expenditure of up to $350 to repurchase shares of our common stock and in 2000 it authorized an additional expenditure of $250 for a total authorization of $600. The authorizations expired at the end of 2000. The repurchases were accomplished through open market transactions. In 1999, we repurchased 2,994,400 shares at an aggregate cost of $100 and in 2000, 15,455,747 shares were repurchased at a cost of $381.

         All shares repurchased were cancelled and became authorized but unissued shares.

         Common stock transactions in the last three years are as follows:

                           
      1999   2000   2001

Shares outstanding at beginning of year
    165,690,844       163,151,142       147,877,034

DANA CORPORATION/Annual Report 2001

         A net loss causes dilutive shares to have an antidilutive effect, so the potentially dilutive shares have been disregarded in calculating diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Note 5. Inventories

The components of inventory are as follows:

                 
    December 31
    2000   2001

Raw materials
  $ 436     $ 377  
Work in process and finished goods
    1,128       922  

 
  $ 1,564     $ 1,299  

Inventories amounting to $1,005 and $841 at December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, were valued using the LIFO method. If all inventories were valued at replacement cost, inventories would be increased by $119 and $111 at December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.

Note 6. Short-Term Debt

Until the end of 2000, we had generally relied on the issuance of commercial paper to satisfy a significant portion of our short-term financing requirements. These commercial paper borrowings were supported by committed bank lines. However, the debt rating services lowered our credit ratings in the first quarter of 2001, primarily due to the significant downturn in our markets since the fourth quarter of 2000 and the impact of this downturn on our operations. Following the downgrade, the commercial paper markets ceased to be available to us and we began borrowing against the committed bank lines.

         In March 2001, we established a $400 accounts receivable securitization program to supplement our committed bank lines. Under the program, certain of our divisions and subsidiaries either sell or contribute accounts receivable to Dana Asset Funding LLC (DAF), a special purpose entity. DAF funds its accounts receivable purchases in part by pledging a portion of the receivables as collateral for short-term loans from participating banks. DAF uses the amounts borrowed under the program to fund the purchase of accounts receivable. We used the sale proceeds received from DAF to reduce other debt.

         The securitized accounts receivable are owned in their entirety by DAF and are not available to satisfy claims of our creditors. However, we are entitled to any dividends paid by DAF and would be entitled to all proceeds from the liquidation of DAF’s assets upon the termination of the securitization program and the dissolution of DAF. DAF’s receivables are included in our consolidated financial statements solely because DAF does not meet certain technical accounting requirements for treatment as a “qualifying special purpose entity” under generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the sales and contributions of the accounts receivable are eliminated in consolidation and the loans to DAF are reflected as short-term borrowings in our consolidated financial statements.

         Expenses incurred to establish the program are being amortized over five years, the contractual life of the program.

         In December 2001, we entered into a new 364-day revolving credit facility with a group of banks and amended our existing long-term facility, which matures on November 15, 2005. The 364-day facility provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $250 while the long-term facility has a borrowing capacity of $500. The 364-day facility provides each participating bank the option to terminate its commitment on April 30, 2002 unless we receive net cash proceeds of at least $200 from the issuance of debt in the capital markets or stock or the sale of assets by April 1, 2002. If the net cash proceeds exceed $200, the maximum borrowing capacity under the 364-day facility will be reduced by 50% of the excess. Both facilities require us to maintain specified financial ratios as of the end of each quarter, including the ratio of net senior debt to tangible net worth; the ratio of earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) less capital spend to interest expense; and the ratio of net senior debt to EBITDA. For purposes of these ratios, tangible net worth excludes deferred currency translation adjustments, the 2001 minimum pension liability adjustment and intangible assets, while EBITDA is modified to exclude cash restructuring charges incurred from the fourth quarter of 2001 through the first quarter of 2003, to a maximum of $500, equity earnings, minority interest and certain other non-cash items. The ratio calculations are based on the additional financial information which presents Dana’s consolidated financial statements with DCC accounted for on the equity basis.

         Because our financial performance is impacted by various economic, financial and industry factors, we may not be able to satisfy these covenants in the future. Noncompliance with these covenants would constitute an event of default, allowing the lenders to accelerate the repayment of any borrowings outstanding under the related arrangement. We believe that we would be able to successfully negotiate amended covenants or obtain waivers if an event of default were imminent; however, we might be required to provide collateral to the lenders or make other financial concessions. Default under either of these facilities or any of our significant note agreements may result in defaults under other debt instruments. Our business, results of operations and financial condition might be adversely affected if we were unable to successfully negotiate amended covenants or obtain waivers on acceptable terms.

         Dana, excluding DCC, had total committed borrowing lines of $1,252 and uncommitted borrowing lines of $296 at December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2001, Dana, excluding DCC, had $150 borrowed against the long-term facility, $260 borrowed under the accounts receivable securitization program and $33 of notes payable at its non-U.S. subsidiaries.

         DCC had also relied on the issuance of commercial paper for short-term borrowings prior to 2001. Its borrowings against committed bank lines also increased after its credit ratings were lowered in the first quarter of 2001.

         DCC had committed borrowing lines of $544, including approximately $67 denominated in British pounds and Canadian dollars, and uncommitted borrowing lines of $15 at December 31, 2001. Various lines totaling $292 mature in 2002; $250 available under a long-term facility matures in June 2004. DCC had $231 borrowed against committed U.S. bank lines at December 31, 2001.

         Fees are paid to the banks for providing committed lines, but not for uncommitted lines. We paid fees of $9 in 2001 in connection with our committed bank lines. A portion of these fees is being amortized over the lives of the related credit facilities.

         Selected details of short-term borrowings are as follows:

Note 7. Interest Rate Agreements

Under our interest rate swap agreements, we agree to exchange with third parties, at specific intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. Differentials to be paid or received under these agreements are accrued and recognized as adjustments to interest expense. At December 31, 2001, Dana, exclusive of DCC, was committed to receive a rate of 9% on notional amounts of $575 and 200 and to pay variable rates equal to the six-month London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) plus an average of 3.09% (the combined rate was 5.07% at December 31, 2001) on a notional amount of $575 and the six-month Euro interbank offered rate (EURIBOR) plus an average of 3.79% (the combined rate was 7.04% on December 31, 2001) on a notional amount of 200. These agreements were entered in August 2001 in conjunction with the issuance of the 9% notes and expire when the notes mature in 2011. At December 31, 2001, DCC was committed to receive interest rates which change periodically in line with prevailing short-term market rates (the average rate being received at December 31, 2001 was 2.72%) and to pay an average rate of 7.13% which is fixed over the period of the agreements on notional amounts of $95. DCC’s notional amounts of interest rate swaps expire as follows: 2002, $50 and 2003, $45.

         We filed universal shelf registration statements in December 1997 and December 1998 authorizing us to issue debt or equity securities, or a combination thereof, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,350. In March 1998, we issued $150 of 6.5% unsecured notes due March 15, 2008 and $200 of 7.0% unsecured notes due March 15, 2028. In March 1999, we issued $250 of 6.25% unsecured notes due March 1, 2004, $350 of 6.5% unsecured notes due March 1, 2009 and $400 of 7.0% unsecured notes due March 1, 2029.

         During 2001, Dana issued $575 and 200 of 9% unsecured notes due August 15, 2011. The indenture agreement related to these notes places certain limits on the borrowings, payments and transactions that we might wish to undertake.

         During 1999, DCC established a $500 Medium Term Note Program. Notes under the program are offered on terms determined at the time of issuance. At December 31, 2001, notes totaling $500 were outstanding under the program. These notes are general, unsecured obligations of DCC. DCC has agreed that it will not issue any other notes which are secured or senior to notes issued under the program, except as permitted by the program.

         Nonrecourse obligations represent debt collateralized by the assignment of contracts and a security interest in the underlying assets. In the event of a default under the nonrecourse debt obligation, the lender’s recourse is limited to the collateral with no further recourse against DCC.

         Interest paid on short-term and long-term debt was $285 in 1999, $314 in 2000 and $304 in 2001.

Note 9. Stock Option Plans

The Compensation Committee of the Board grants stock options to selected Dana employees under the 1997 Stock Option Plan. The option price is equal to the market price of our common stock at the date of grant. One-fourth of the options granted become exercisable at each of the first four anniversary dates of the grant; options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights may be granted separately or in conjunction with the options.

         This is a summary of transactions under the plan in the last three years:

         In April 2001, shareholders authorized an additional 5,000,000 shares under this plan. At December 31, 2001, 4,196,461 shares were available for future grants.

         In accordance with our accounting policy for stock-based compensation, we have not recognized any expense relating to these stock options. If we had used the fair value method of accounting, the alternative policy set out in SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the after-tax expense relating to the stock options would have been $11 in 1999, $14 in 2000 and $16 in 2001. If we had charged this expense to income, our net income (loss) and earnings per share would have been as follows:

                         
    1999   2000   2001

Net Income (Loss)
  $ 502     $ 320     $ (314 )
Basic EPS
    3.03       2.10       (2.12 )
Diluted EPS
    3.01       2.09       (2.12 )

         The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

                         
    1999   2000   2001

Risk-free interest rate
    5.82 %     6.16 %     4.63 %
Dividend yield
    2.73 %     5.38 %     4.95 %
Expected life
  5.4 years   5.4 years   5.4 years
Stock price volatility
    38.60 %     40.72 %     44.67 %

         Based on the above assumptions, the weighted average fair value per share of options granted under the plans was $15.79 in 1999, $6.51 in 2000 and $7.49 in 2001.

         Under our Directors’ Stock Option Plan, options for 3,000 common shares are automatically granted to each non-employee director once a year. The option price is the market value of the stock at the date of grant. The options can be exercised after one year and expire ten years from the date of grant, except in the event of retirement or death of the director.

         This is a summary of the stock option activity of the Directors’ plan in the last three years:

         At December 31, 2001, 82,000 shares were available for future grants under this plan.

         The non-employee directors of Echlin Inc., which we acquired in 1998, participated in the Echlin Inc. 1996 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan under which options for 232,325 shares were authorized for issuance. Options were granted at market value at the date of grant, were exercisable after one year and expire ten years from the date of grant, except in the event of the retirement or death of the director. During 1999, options to purchase 39,265 shares were exercised at $35.43. No options were exercised in 2000 or 2001. At December 31, 2001, there were 38,752 options outstanding and exercisable at exercise prices ranging from $33.49 to $37.93 per share with a weighted average exercise price of $34.40. The weighted average remaining contractual life of these options was 5.2 years. No future grants are expected under this plan.

Note 10. Employees’ Stock Purchase Plan

The majority of our full-time U.S. and some of our non-U.S. employees are eligible to participate in our stock purchase plan. Plan participants can authorize us to withhold up to 15% of their earnings and deposit this amount with an independent custodian. The custodian uses the funds to purchase our common stock at current market prices. As record keeper for the plan, we allocate the purchased shares to the participants’ accounts. Shares are distributed to the participants on request.

         We match up to 50% of the participants’ contributions in cash over a five-year period beginning with the year the amounts are withheld. If a participant withdraws any shares before the end of five years, the amount of our match will depend on how long the shares were in the account. The custodian purchased 1,177,541 shares in 1999, 2,212,391 shares in 2000 and 2,405,040 shares in 2001. The charge to expense for our match was $9 in 1999, $10 in 2000 and $11 in 2001.

Note 11. Additional Compensation Plans

We have numerous additional compensation plans under which we pay our employees for increased productivity and improved performance. One such plan is our Additional Compensation Plan for certain officers and other key employees. Under this plan, a percentage of the participants’ compensation is accrued for additional compensation if we attain certain annual corporate performance goals. The Compensation Committee selects the participants and determines whether to pay the awards immediately in cash or to defer them for payment later in cash, stock or a combination of both. Participants may elect to convert deferred awards to units which are the economic equivalent of shares of Dana common stock. Units are credited with the equivalent of dividends on our common stock and adjusted in value based on the market value of our common stock. Compensation expense was credited $3 in 1999, $7 in 2000 and $1 in 2001 in connection with reductions in the value of deferred units. Awards not converted to units are credited quarterly with interest earned at a rate tied to the prime rate.

         Activity related to the plan for the last three years is as follows:

                         
    1999   2000   2001

Awarded to participants based on preceding year’s performance
  $ 14     $ 15     $ 0  
Dividends and interest credited to participants’ accounts
    4       2       2  
Charge (credit) to expense
    19       (5 )     1  
Shares issued to participants
    3,721       5,240       25,106  

         We also have two successive Restricted Stock Plans under which the Compensation Committee grants restricted common shares to certain key employees. The shares are subject to forfeiture until the restrictions lapse or terminate. Generally, the employee must remain employed with us for a specified number of years after the date of grant to receive the shares. Since 1997, participants have been able to convert their restricted stock into restricted stock units under certain conditions. The number of restricted shares converted to restricted units was 200,037 in 1999, 32,736 in 2000 and 27,500 in 2001. The units are payable in unrestricted stock upon retirement or termination of employment.

         Grants occurred under the 1989 Restricted Stock Plan through February 1999, at which time the authorization to grant restricted stock under the plan lapsed. There were 20,500 shares granted in 1999 under the 1989 Plan. At December 31, 2001, there were 474,605 shares available for issuance in connection with dividends payable on shares granted under this plan.

         Shareholders approved the 1999 Restricted Stock Plan in April 1999 and authorized the issuance of up to 750,000 shares. There were 82,000 shares granted in 1999, 31,200 shares in 2000 and 529,000 shares in 2001 under the 1999 Plan. At December 31, 2001, there were 74,319 shares available for future grants and dividends under the 1999 Plan.

         Charges to expense for these plans were $2 in 1999, $2 in 2000 and $3 in 2001.

Note 12. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

We provide defined contribution and defined benefit, qualified and nonqualified, pension plans for certain employees. We also provide other postretirement benefits including medical and life insurance for certain employees upon retirement.

         Under the terms of the defined contribution retirement plans, employee and employer contributions may be directed into a number of diverse investments. None of these plans allows for direct investment of contributions in Dana stock.

         The following tables provide a reconciliation of the changes in the defined benefit pension plans’ and other postretirement plans’ benefit obligations and fair value of assets over the two-year period ended December 31, 2001, statements of the funded status and schedules of the net amounts recognized in the balance sheet at December 31, 2000 and 2001:

Note 13. Business Segments

Our operations are organized into six market-focused Strategic Business Units (SBUs). This structure allows our people in each of these areas to focus their resources to benefit Dana and our global customers. In December 2001, we combined the Fluid Systems Group and most of the operations of the Engine Systems Group to form the Engine and Fluid Management Group. The segment information has been restated to reflect all changes made to the SBU alignment in 2001.

         The Automotive Systems Group (ASG) produces light duty axles, driveshafts, structural products (such as engine cradles and frames), transfer cases, original equipment brakes and integrated modules and systems for the light vehicle market and driveshafts for the heavy truck market.

         The Automotive Aftermarket Group (AAG) sells primarily hydraulic brake components and disc brakes for light vehicle applications, internal engine hard parts, chassis products and a complete line of filtration products for a variety of applications.

         The Engine and Fluid Management Group (EFMG) serves the automotive, light to heavy truck, leisure and outdoor power equipment and industrial markets with sealing products, internal engine hard parts, electronic modules, sensors and an extensive line of products for the pumping, routing and thermal management of fluid systems.

         Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS) is a major supplier of heavy axles and brakes, drivetrain components and trailer products to the medium and heavy truck markets.

         The Off-Highway Systems Group (OHSG) produces axles and brakes, transaxles, power-shift transmissions, torque converters and electronic controls for the construction, agriculture, mining, specialty chassis, outdoor power, material handling, forestry and leisure/utility equipment markets.

         For some time, we have also been a leading provider of lease financing services in selected markets through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Dana Credit Corporation (DCC). DCC and its subsidiaries provide leasing and financing services to selected markets primarily in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and continental Europe. We announced our intention to pursue the sale of the businesses of DCC in October 2001.

DANA CORPORATION/Annual Report 2001

With the exception of DCC, operating profit after taxes (PAT) represents earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), tax effected at 39% (our estimated long-term effective rate), plus equity in earnings of affiliates. The Other category includes operations not assigned to the SBUs, discontinued businesses, trailing liabilities for certain closed plants, interest expense net of interest income, corporate expenses and adjustments to reflect the actual effective tax rate. SBU and regional expenses are included in the respective SBU or region; otherwise they are included in Other. In arriving at net profit from operating PAT, allocations are based on sales.

         Equity earnings included in the operating PAT and net profit reported in 1999, 2000 and 2001 were $15, $29 and $27 for ASG and $7, $11 and $3 for EFMG. Equity earnings included for the other SBUs were not material.

         Net assets at the SBU and regional level is intended to correlate with invested capital. It includes accounts receivable, inventories (on a first-in, first-out basis), net property, plant and equipment, investments in affiliates, goodwill, trade accounts payable and 2% of annualized sales as an assumption for cash and prepaid expense.

         DCC is evaluated based upon numerous criteria of which net profit and net assets (equity investment) shown above are the major items.

         Restructuring and nonrecurring items consist of the gains on sales of business discussed in Note 19, restructuring and integration charges discussed in Note 20 and other nonrecurring charges.

         Sales by region are based upon location of the entity recording the sale. Sales from the U.S. amounted to $9,413 in 1999, $8,552 in 2000 and $6,863 in 2001. No other country’s sales exceeded 10% of total sales. U.S. long-lived assets were $1,835 in 1999, $1,865 in 2000 and $1,631 in 2001. No other country’s long-lived assets exceeded 10% of total long-lived assets.

         Net operating assets differ from consolidated assets as follows:

                         
    1999   2000   2001

Net operating assets
  $ 7,240     $ 6,980     $ 6,134  
Accounts payable
    1,129       1,014       1,042  
DCC’s assets in excess of equity
    1,902       2,279       2,012  
Non-trade receivables and other current assets
    655       755       775  
Other long-term assets
    197       208       244  

Consolidated assets
  $ 11,123     $ 11,236     $ 10,207  

The difference between operating capital spend and depreciation shown above and purchases of property, plant and equipment and depreciation shown on the cash flow statement represents the method of measuring DCC for operating purposes. DCC’s capital spend and depreciation are not included above. In addition, DCC purchases equipment and leases the equipment to the other SBUs. These operating leases are included in the consolidated statements as purchases of assets and depreciated over their useful life.

         Export sales from the U.S. to customers outside the U.S. amounted to $939 in 1999, $832 in 2000 and $649 in 2001. Total export sales (including sales to our non-U.S. subsidiaries which are eliminated for financial statement presentation) were $1,229 in 1999, $1,115 in 2000 and $874 in 2001.

         Worldwide sales to Ford Motor Company and subsidiaries amounted to $2,130 in 1999, $2,396 in 2000 and $1,888 in 2001, which represented 16%, 19% and 18% of our consolidated sales. Sales to DaimlerChrysler AG and subsidiaries were $1,777 in 1999, $1,669 in 2000 and $1,169 in 2001 representing 14%, 14% and 11% of our consolidated sales. Sales to Ford were primarily from our ASG and EFMG segments, while sales to DaimlerChrysler were primarily from the ASG and CVS segments. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated sales.

Note 14. Estimated Income Taxes (Continued)

         Worldwide, we have operating loss carryforwards of approximately $687 with remaining lives ranging from one year to an indefinite period. Valuation allowances are provided for deferred benefits if the realization of the benefits is uncertain. To reflect uncertainties related to utilization of specific loss carryforwards, we increased the valuation allowance by $19 in 2000 and $26 in 2001. Net benefits recognized for loss carryforwards generally relate to the U.S., where we have traditionally been a taxpayer, and Brazil and the United Kingdom, where operating losses may be carried forward indefinitely. Foreign tax credits may be used to offset the U.S. income taxes due on income earned from foreign sources; however, the credit is limited to the total U.S. taxes payable on income from all sources. Excess foreign tax credits may be carried back two years and forward five years. As of December 31, 2000 and 2001, we believe it is more likely than not that we will generate a sufficient level and proper mix of taxable income within the appropriate period to utilize all the foreign tax credits. If we are unable to generate a sufficient level and proper mix of taxable income within the appropriate periods we may be unable to utilize some or all of these tax benefits. The foreign tax credit carryforwards expire as follows: 2003, $5; 2004, $20; 2005, $28; 2006, $26.

         Cumulative undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries for which U.S. income taxes, exclusive of foreign tax credits, have not been provided approximated $852 at December 31, 2001. U.S. income taxes have not been provided on these undistributed earnings since we intend to permanently reinvest them. If the total undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries had been remitted in 2001, a significant amount of the additional tax provision would have been offset by foreign tax credits.

         We paid income taxes of $136 in 1999 and $98 in 2000 and received a net refund of $38 in 2001.

         The effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate for the following reasons:

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies

At December 31, 2001, we had purchase commitments for property, plant and equipment of approximately $128. DCC had commitments to provide loan and lease financing in the aggregate amount of $80. Subsequent financing under the DCC commitments is subject to satisfactory completion of normal conditions precedent to the execution of such lease financing arrangements.

         At December 31, 2001, we had contingent obligations of up to $134 related to partial guarantees of third-party loans to equity affiliates.

         Future minimum rental commitments under operating leases were $469 at December 31, 2001, with rental payments during the next five years of: 2002, $76; 2003, $70; 2004, $64; 2005, $55 and 2006, $60. Net rental expense was $117 in 1999, $103 in 2000 and $113 in 2001.

         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.

         With respect to contingent asbestos-related product liability, we had approximately 100,000 asbestos-related claims outstanding at December 31, 2001, including approximately 27,000 claims that were settled pending payment. We have agreements with our insurance carriers providing for the payment of a significant majority of the defense and indemnity costs for pending claims as well as claims which may be filed against us in the future. At December 31, 2001, we had accrued $102 for contingent asbestos-related product liability costs and recorded $89 as an asset for probable recoveries from insurers for asbestos-related product liability claims, compared to $78 accrued for liabilities and $67 recorded as an asset at December 31, 2000.

         At December 31, 2001 and 2000, amounts accrued for contingent environmental liabilities with no recovery expected from other parties were $52 and $40, respectively. At December 31, 2001, $11 was accrued for contingent non-asbestos product liability costs, with no recovery anticipated from third parties; $21 was accrued for liabilities and $2 recorded as an asset at the end of 2000.

         Until 2001, the majority of our asbestos-related claims were administered by the Center for Claims Resolution (CCR), which settled claims for its member companies on a shared settlement cost basis. In February 2001, the CCR was reorganized and discontinued negotiating shared settlements. Certain former CCR members have defaulted on the payment of their shares of certain of the CCR-negotiated settlements. As a result, some of the settling parties are seeking 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 plaintiffs to resolve these issues. At December 31, 2001, we estimated our contingent liability with respect to these matters to be approximately $44, of which we expect $39 to be recoverable from our insurers and under surety bonds provided by the defaulting CCR members. Our financial statements include our obligation relative to these contingencies, which are separate from the asbestos-related product liabilities discussed above.

         We have reviewed all of our pending judicial and legal proceedings, including the probable outcomes, reasonably anticipated costs and expenses, availability and limits of our insurance coverage 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.

Note 18. Acquisitions

In 1999, we acquired Innovative Manufacturing, Inc., a machining operation that supplies machined castings to our Spicer Outdoor Power Equipment Components Division. We also acquired the remaining interests not previously owned in Industrias Serva S.A. (30%), Dana Heavy Axle Mexico S.A. de C.V. (9%), Automotive Motion Technology Limited (49%) and Echlin Charger Mfg. Co. Pty. Ltd. (8%). These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the results of operations and earnings previously allocated to minority owners have been included from the dates of acquisition. The sales and total assets were not material.

         In January 2000, we acquired the cardan-jointed propeller shaft business of GKN plc. In March, we acquired a majority interest in Tribometal a.s., a manufacturer of polymer bearings. The automotive axle manufacturing and stamping operations of Invensys plc were acquired in July 2000. In November 2000, we acquired a 30-percent interest in GETRAG Cie, a manufacturer of transmissions, transaxles, axles and other automotive components, and a 49-percent interest in GETRAG’s North American operations. Except for the interests in GETRAG, which are being accounted for as equity investments, the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the results of their operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition. The acquisitions accounted for as purchases had total assets of $373 at acquisition and recorded sales of $195 in 2000.

         In June 2001, we acquired the remaining 51% interest in Danaven, a Venezuelan operation in which we previously held a minority position. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date we attained 100% ownership. We previously accounted for our 49% interest in Danaven under the equity method of accounting. Total assets and debt of Danaven approximated $202 and $92 at June 30, 2001. Sales related to Danaven approximated $64 in 2001.

Note 19. Divestitures

In October 1999, we sold the Coldform operations of our Engine and Fluid Management Group and in November we sold Sierra International Inc. Coldform manufactured starter components, steering hubs and suspension components and Sierra manufactured and distributed marine and power equipment engine, drive and hose products. Annual sales of these operations were approximately $50.

         In January 2000, we sold our Gresen Hydraulics business, the Truckline Parts Centres heavy-duty distribution business and certain portions of our constant velocity (CV) joint businesses. In February, we sold most of the global Warner Electric businesses and, in March, we sold Commercial Vehicle Cab Systems. In September 2000, we sold the remaining 35% interest in our Brazilian CV joint operation. Net gain recorded on these divestitures totaled $106. These businesses reported sales of $666 in 1999; through the dates of divestiture, 2000 sales for these operations totaled $103.

         In March 2001, we sold Mr. Gasket, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary. In the second quarter of 2001, we divested our Marion, Ohio forging facility and the assets of our Dallas, Texas and Washington, Missouri Engine and Fluid Management Group operations. In July 2001, we completed the sale of our Chelsea power take-off business to Parker Hannifin Corporation. In September 2001, we completed the sale of our Glacier industrial polymer bearings businesses to Goodrich Corporation. A net after-tax gain of $10 was recorded on these divestitures. Sales reported by these businesses were $241 in 2000 and $105 in 2001, through the dates of divestiture.

Note 20. Restructuring of Operations

During 1999, we continued executing the restructuring and integration plans announced in 1998 following our acquisition of Echlin Inc., including the closing and downsizing of facilities begun in 1998. We incurred integration charges of $51 for relocating assets, training and relocating employees and other integration activities at the acquired operations. These costs were charged to expense as incurred.

         During the fourth quarter of 1999, we announced plans to downsize and close additional operations in the U.S., South America and Europe and recorded restructuring and integration charges totaling $170. The charges included the costs of exiting businesses, asset impairments and termination benefits. The announced restructuring and integration plans included closing five facilities, downsizing three facilities and terminating 1,280 people. The largest component of these plans was the downsizing of our Reading, Pa., structures facility. In total, $229 was charged to income during the year. This amount consisted of $181 charged to restructuring and integration, $57 charged to cost of sales and a $9 gain on the sale of Sierra credited to other income.

         During the third quarter of 2000, we announced plans to close our Reading structures facility and terminate approximately 690 people and recorded restructuring charges of $53. In the fourth quarter of 2000, we approved plans to close facilities in France, the United Kingdom and Argentina, resulting in $34 of charges and a workforce reduction of approximately 230 people. We also incurred integration expenses in 2000 related to consolidating our Engine Management warehouse operations and moving operations from closed facilities.

         In the first quarter of 2001, we recorded $22 of restructuring expense in connection with the announced closing of six facilities in the ASG and EFMG and workforce reductions at other facilities. These charges included $10 for employee termination benefits, $7 for asset impairment and $5 for other exit costs and impacted net earnings by $14. We announced additional facility closings in the third quarter and accrued additional restructuring charges of $12, affecting earnings by $7.

         In October 2001, we announced plans to reduce our global workforce by more than 15 percent and initiated a review of more than 30 facilities for possible consolidation or closure. These actions were undertaken to reduce capacity and outsource the manufacturing of non-core content. As of December 31, 2001, we had announced the closing of 21 facilities and reduced our work force by more than 7 percent in connection with these plans. Charges related to our actions announced in October were $431 and affected net earnings by $279. Charges for all restructuring activities totaled $440, including $155 for employee terminations, $196 for asset impairments and $89 for exit and other costs. We charged cost of sales for $85 of these expenses, including $38 for inventory impairment. Net earnings in the fourth quarter were impacted by $284.

         For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded total expenses of $476, including $390 charged to restructuring expense and $86 charged to cost of sales, in connection with our restructuring actions. We expect our actions to reduce our break-even point by eliminating excess capacity.

This balance was comprised of $206 for the reduction of approximately 4,200 employees to be completed in 2002 and $53 for lease terminations and other exit costs. The estimated annual cash expenditures will be approximately $120 in 2002, $38 in 2003 and $101 thereafter. Our liquidity and cash flows will be materially impacted by these actions. It is anticipated that our operations over the long term will benefit from these realignment strategies through reduction of overhead and certain material costs.

Note 21. Noncash Investing and Financing Activities

In leveraged leases, the issuance of nonrecourse debt financing and subsequent repayments thereof are transacted directly between the lessees and the lending parties to the transactions. Nonrecourse debt issued to finance leveraged leases was $878 in 1999, $403 in 2000 and $163 in 2001; nonrecourse debt obligations repaid were $273 in 1999, $106 in 2000 and $76 in 2001.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Dollars in millions

We began the year 2001 experiencing the fluctuations in production runs that resulted from our original equipment (OE) customers trying to balance existing inventories and production schedules with the demands of an uncertain marketplace. Our efforts were focused on trying to scale our businesses to levels that would get us below conservative estimates for production and avoid the underabsorption of overhead that adversely affected our operating results in 2000. The second quarter provided the first signs that production schedules, while well below prior year levels, might be returning to more predictable patterns and that the efforts to downsize our operations were having a positive effect. Sales in our Automotive Systems Group rose 5% over the first quarter after falling 25% during the four previous quarters. Our automotive aftermarket business also reported measurable sales growth for the first time since the middle of 1999, and consolidated profit after tax increased substantially from the first quarter on a modest overall sales gain.

         The optimism generated during the second quarter faded as we moved through the third quarter. Dealer inventory of light vehicles, especially models that are key to Dana, was increasing again despite increased incentives, and additional days were carved out of OE production schedules already reduced by seasonal closings. Hopes for a general recovery in the economy, which would have benefited the vehicular markets, were swept away in the days following September 11. The terrorist attacks resulted in immediate changes in how people and products were transported, especially movement across international borders. For a period of time, production schedules based on just-in-time deliveries were severely impacted by the delays resulting from increased security. The United States acknowledged that its economy was in a recession and consumer confidence declined amid uncertainty as to how long the weakness would last.

         We faced the extraordinary challenges posed by the situation by making a number of difficult decisions that were necessary to properly align our resources with customer demand, ensure an adequate return on committed capital and preserve cash. In October, we initiated a review of more than 30 facilities for consolidation or closure, committed to reducing our work force by more than 15%, announced plans to sell the businesses of Dana Credit Corporation (DCC) and reduced our fourth quarter dividend to one cent per share. By the end of the quarter, we had announced the closure of 21 facilities and had reduced our work force by 7%. Additional closures are planned for 2002. Executing these restructuring plans continues to be our primary focus in 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows – Operating activities in 2001 generated positive cash flow of $639, declining $345 from the prior year. The primary component of the change was earnings, as the $298 net loss in 2001 represents a $632 decrease from the net income of $334 reported in 2000. Included in the $476 of expenses related to our 2001 restructuring activities were charges of $206 related to the impairment of inventory and long-lived assets which did not require the use of cash. Our continuing focus on reducing working capital helped generate $350 during the year, including $303 from reductions in accounts receivable and inventory. This result was achieved despite the repayment of approximately $100 financed by a sale of accounts receivable at the end of 2000 and payment of $104 representing the final installment on our investment in GETRAG Cie. The latter item affected working capital through its inclusion in other accrued liabilities at the end of 2000.

         Efforts to control capital spending impacted cash flows from investing activities in 2001. After reducing capital spending by 18% in 2000, we carved $237 or 36% from last year’s total to finish at $425. Divestitures generated proceeds of $236 in 2001, while the acquisition of the remaining 51% interest in Danaven, a Venezuelan affiliate in which we previously held a minority position, required a $21 outlay. Net loan activity of our DCC businesses in 2001 resulted in proceeds of $112, while loan activity in 2000 required $82.

         Our 2001 cash flows related to financing activities included an $888 reduction of net short-term borrowings, reflecting the application of a large portion of the proceeds from our August note placement and also cash available from the working capital reduction. Due to the reduced level of investments in new leases, DCC was able to use lease payments and proceeds from asset sales to fund $205 of the reduction in short-term debt. The new notes drove the net cash inflow of $346 related to long-term debt; however, a portion of the proceeds from those issues was used to retire medium-term notes. These debt reductions were partially offset on our balance sheet by the consolidation of approximately $90 of debt in the second quarter of 2001 in connection with our purchase of the interest in Danaven. The $140 of dividends paid in 2001 reflects a $47 reduction over 2000 as a result of reducing our quarterly dividend to one cent per share in the final quarter of 2001. Financing cash flows in 2000 included $381 expended for stock repurchases, which were discontinued in September 2000.

         Managing our cash remains a high priority in 2002, especially in light of the $300 of cash outlays expected in connection with our restructuring activities. Based on the levels of production we have assumed for 2002, we are currently projecting a $100 decrease in working capital, exclusive of our restructuring activities. Within our investing activities, we have budgeted capital spending of approximately $275 in 2002 and expect to realize $300 or more in proceeds from divestitures. Annualizing the present quarterly dividend would result in related outflows of $6 versus the $140 paid in 2001. Hitting these targets should enable us to significantly reduce our outstanding debt during 2002.

Financing Activities – Until the end of 2000, we had generally relied on the issuance of commercial paper to satisfy a significant portion of our short-term financing requirements. However, the debt rating services lowered our credit ratings in the first quarter of 2001, primarily due to the significant downturn in our markets since the fourth quarter of 2000 and the impact of the downturn on our operations. Following the rating actions, the commercial paper markets ceased to be available to us and we began borrowing against our committed bank lines.

         In March 2001, we established a $400 accounts receivable securitization program. The initial proceeds were used to reduce debt, including amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facilities. The amounts outstanding under the program are reflected as short-term borrowings in our consolidated financial statements. The amounts available under the program are subject to reduction based on significant adverse changes in the credit ratings of our customers, customer concentration levels or certain characteristics of the underlying accounts receivable. This program is subject to termination by the lenders in the event our credit ratings are lowered beyond a level specified in the agreement.

DANA CORPORATION / Annual Report 2001

         In August 2001, we completed the private placement of $575 and 200 of 10-year unsecured senior notes. We used the proceeds from these notes, along with a portion of the proceeds from divestitures, to further reduce borrowings under Dana’s revolving credit facilities and satisfy maturities of existing medium-term debt, thereby extending the overall maturity of our outstanding debt.

         In December 2001, we entered into a new 364-day revolving credit facility with a group of banks and amended our existing long-term facility, which matures on November 15, 2005. The 364-day facility provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $250 while the long-term facility has a borrowing capacity of $500. The interest rates under these facilities equal LIBOR or the prime rate, plus a spread that varies depending on our credit ratings. The 364-day facility provides each participating bank the option to terminate its commitment on April 30, 2002 unless we receive net cash proceeds of at least $200 by April 1, 2002 from the issuance of debt in the capital markets or equity interests, or the sale of assets. If the net cash proceeds generated by these activities through December 18, 2002 exceed $200, the maximum borrowing capacity under the 364-day facility will be reduced by 50% of the excess. Both facilities require us to maintain specified financial ratios as of the end of each quarter, including the ratio of net senior debt to tangible net worth; the ratio of earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) less capital spend to interest expense; and the ratio of net senior debt to EBITDA. For purposes of these ratios, tangible net worth excludes deferred currency translation adjustments, the 2001 minimum pension liability adjustment and intangible assets, and EBITDA excludes cash restructuring charges incurred from the fourth quarter of 2001 through the first quarter of 2003, to a maximum of $500, equity earnings, minority interest and certain other non-cash items. The ratio calculations are based on Dana’s consolidated financial statements with DCC accounted for on the equity basis.

         Because our financial performance is impacted by various economic, financial and industry factors, we cannot say with certainty whether we will satisfy these covenants in the future. Noncompliance with these covenants would constitute an event of default, allowing the lenders to accelerate the repayment of any borrowings outstanding under the related arrangement. While no assurance can be given, we believe that we would be able to successfully negotiate amended covenants or obtain waivers if an event of default were imminent; however, we might be required to provide collateral to the lenders or make other financial concessions. Default under either of these facilities or any of our significant note agreements may result in defaults under our other debt instruments. Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected if we were unable to successfully negotiate amended covenants or obtain waivers on acceptable terms.

         Committed and uncommitted bank lines enable us to make direct bank borrowings. Excluding DCC, we had committed and uncommitted borrowing lines of $1,148 at December 31, 2001. This amount includes our revolving credit facilities, of which $250 matures in December 2002 and $500 matures in November 2005. We also have a total capacity of $400 under the accounts receivable securitization program. Accordingly, we have a total short-term borrowing capability of $1,548, of which $1,105 was available at the end of 2001. In addition, DCC had credit lines of $559 at December 31, 2001, including two revolving credit facilities with an aggregate maximum borrowing capacity of $463. One facility matures in June 2002 and has a maximum borrowing capacity of $213. The other facility matures in June 2004 and has a maximum borrowing capacity of $250. The interest rates under these facilities equal LIBOR or the prime rate, plus a spread that varies depending on DCC’s credit ratings. At December 31, 2001, approximately $231 was outstanding under the DCC lines, including $195 under the revolving credit facilities.

         Based on our rolling forecast, we expect our cash flows from operations, combined with these credit facilities and the accounts receivable securitization program, to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our debt service obligations, projected working capital requirements, restructuring obligations and capital spending for a period that includes the next twelve months.

Hedging Activities – We utilize derivative financial instruments, to a limited extent, to hedge principally against the effects of fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates and interest rate movements (see Notes 1,7 and 16 to the financial statements). To accomplish these purposes, we use forward contracts to hedge against foreign currency movements and interest rate swaps to hedge against interest rate fluctuations and to balance the mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We do not use derivative instruments for trading purposes. Our policy requires that our business units involve our Treasury staff in the execution of all derivative contracts.

         At December 31, 2001, we had a number of open forward contracts to hedge against certain anticipated net purchase and sale commitments. These contracts are for a short duration and none extend beyond 2002. The aggregate fair value of these contracts is a favorable amount less than $1. These contracts have been valued by independent financial institutions using the exchange spot rate on December 31, 2001, plus or minus quoted forward basis points to determine a settlement value for each contract.

         In order to provide a better balance of fixed and variable rate debt, we have interest rate swap agreements in place to effectively convert the fixed interest rate on our 9% dollar and euro denominated notes to variable rates. These swap contracts have been designated as hedges and the impact of the change in their value is offset by an equal and opposite change in the carrying value of the notes. Under the contracts, we receive a fixed rate of interest of 9% on notional amounts of $575 and 200 and we pay a variable rate based on either the LIBOR, plus a spread, or the EURIBOR, plus a spread, respectively. The swap contracts expire in August 2011, which coincides with the term of the notes. DCC also has several interest rate swap contracts that have an aggregate notional amount of $95. Unlike the swap agreements hedging the 9% notes, the DCC swap contracts call for DCC to receive a variable amount of interest, based on prevailing short term market rates, and pay a fixed amount that averages 7.13%. DCC’s swaps expire in 2002 ($50) and 2003 ($45). The fair value of all interest rate swaps at December 31, 2001 is reflected as a $6 liability in the balance sheet. The fair values of these swaps, by year of maturity, are net credits of $1 in 2002, $3 in 2003 through 2004 and $2 beyond 2006. The fair values of all swaps were determined by obtaining pricing estimates from independent financial institutions.

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, firm commitments made to acquire equipment and other fixed assets and purchases of certain raw materials. With the exception of payments required under our long-term debt and operating lease agreements, we do not have fixed cash payment obligations beyond 2003.

         The following table summarizes our fixed cash obligations over various future periods.

Total Contractual Cash Obligations
  $ 4,167     $ 758     $ 776     $ 307     $ 2,326  

         The unconditional purchase obligations presented are composed principally of commitments for procurement of fixed assets and the purchase of raw materials.

         In addition to fixed cash commitments, we may have future cash payment obligations under arrangements where we are contingently obligated if certain events occur or conditions are present. We have guaranteed $1 of short-term borrowings of a non- U.S. affiliate accounted for under the equity method of accounting. DCC has guaranteed portions of the borrowings of its affiliates that are accounted for under the equity method. DCC’s aggregate exposure under several of the guarantees is $24. Under another guarantee, DCC’s exposure for changes in interest rates resulting from specific events described in the financing arrangements would vary but should not exceed $49 and its exposure for certain of the other guaranteed obligations is limited to $60. The term of the affiliates’ financing agreements is one year. DCC anticipates that the affiliates will renew these arrangements on substantially the same terms as the current agreements. If this occurs, it is likely that DCC would provide similar guarantees. We do not expect to make any cash payments relating to these potential obligations.

         At December 31, 2001, we had contingent liability for stand-by letters of credit totaling $109 issued on our behalf by financial institutions. These letters of credit are used principally for the purpose of meeting various states’ requirements in order to self- insure our workers compensation obligations. These stand-by letters of credit must be renewed each year. We accrue the estimated liability for workers compensation claims, including incurred but not reported claims. Accordingly, no significant impact on our financial condition would result if the letters of credit were drawn.

Contingencies – 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 our pending judicial and legal proceedings, including the probable outcomes, reasonably anticipated costs and expenses, availability and limits of our insurance coverage 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.

         For some time, the vast majority of our asbestos-related claims were administered by the Center for Claims Resolution (CCR), which settled claims for its member companies on a shared settlement cost basis. In February 2001, the CCR was reorganized and discontinued negotiating shared settlements. The CCR continued to administer Dana’s claims and provide some legal and claims adjusting support through July 31, 2001. Since February 2001, there has been no sharing of indemnity costs and we have independently controlled our legal strategy and settlements. As of August 1, 2001, our claims administration was moved to a new organization, PACE, which is a subsidiary of Peterson Consulting, Inc. We do not expect these changes to materially affect our handling of asbestos claims or the costs thereof. However, there has been a marked increase in the number of claims filed against Dana since the CCR was reorganized. We believe that claimants are naming all former members of the CCR in individual claims, since all members of the CCR had previously participated in claims filed against any single member. As a result, many of the new claimants are parties that have no direct association with products manufactured by Dana. Since the reorganization of the CCR, a greater number of claims against Dana have been dismissed and the average cost of settlement has declined.

         With respect to contingent asbestos-related product liability, we had approximately 100,000 asbestos-related claims outstanding at December 31, 2001, including approximately 27,000 claims that were settled pending payment. We have agreements with our insurance carriers providing for the payment of a significant majority of the defense and indemnity costs for pending claims as well as claims which may be filed against us in the future. At December 31, 2001, we had accrued $102 for contingent asbestos-related product liability costs and recorded $89 as an asset for probable recoveries from insurers for asbestos-related product liability claims, compared to $78 accrued for such liabilities and $67 recorded as an asset at December 31, 2000.

         At December 31, 2001, $11 was accrued for contingent non-asbestos product liability costs with no recovery anticipated from third parties; at the end of 2000, $21 was accrued for such liabilities and $2 recorded as an asset for probable recoveries.

         We estimate contingent environmental 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, the lower end of the range is accrued. At December 31, 2000 and 2001, the amounts accrued for contingent environmental liabilities with no recovery expected from other parties were $40 and $52, respectively.

         At December 31, 2001, the difference between our minimum and maximum estimates for contingent liabilities, while not considered material, was $13 for the non-asbestos product liability claims and $2 for the environmental liability claims, compared to $14 and $2, respectively, at the end of 2000.

         As noted above, the majority of our asbestos-related claims were administered by the CCR through February 2001, at which time the CCR was reorganized and discontinued negotiating shared settlements. Certain former CCR members have defaulted on the payment of their shares of certain of the CCR-negotiated settlements. As a result, some of the settling parties are seeking 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 member companies, our insurers and the claimants to resolve these issues. At December 31, 2001, we estimated our contingent liability with respect to these matters to be approximately $44, of which we expect $39 to be recoverable from our insurers and under surety bonds provided by the defaulting CCR members. Our financial statements include our obligation relative to these contingencies, which are separate from the asbestos-related product liabilities discussed above.

DANA CORPORATION / Annual Report 2001

Restructuring

During 1999, we continued executing the restructuring and integration plans announced in 1998 following our acquisition of Echlin Inc., including the closing and downsizing of facilities begun in 1998. We incurred integration charges of $51 for relocating assets, training and relocating employees and other integration activities at the acquired operations. These costs were charged to expense as incurred.

         During the fourth quarter of 1999, we announced plans to downsize and close additional operations in the U.S., South America and Europe and recorded restructuring and integration charges totaling $170. The charges included the costs of exiting businesses, asset impairments and termination benefits. The announced restructuring and integration plans included closing five facilities, downsizing three facilities and terminating 1,280 people. The largest component of these plans was the downsizing of our Reading, Pa., structures facility. In total, $229 was charged to income during 1999. This amount consisted of $181 charged to restructuring and integration, $57 charged to cost of sales and a $9 gain recorded in other income on the sale of our marine and outdoor power equipment business, Sierra International Inc. (Sierra).

         During the third quarter of 2000, we announced plans to close our Reading structures facility and terminate approximately 690 people and recorded restructuring charges of $53. In the fourth quarter of 2000, we approved plans to close facilities in France, the United Kingdom and Argentina, resulting in $34 of charges and a workforce reduction of approximately 230 people. We also incurred integration expenses in 2000 related to consolidating our Engine Management warehouse operations and moving operations from closed facilities.

         In the first quarter of 2001, we recorded $22 of restructuring expense in connection with the announced closing of six facilities in the ASG and EFMG and workforce reductions at other facilities. These charges included $10 for employee termination benefits, $7 for asset impairment and $5 for other exit costs and impacted net earnings by $14. We announced additional facility closings in the third quarter and accrued additional restructuring charges of $12, affecting earnings by $7.

         In October 2001, we announced plans to reduce our global workforce by more than 15% and initiated a review of more than 30 facilities for possible consolidation or closure. These actions were undertaken to reduce capacity and outsource the manufacturing of non-core content and other non-core processes. As of December 31, 2001, we had announced the closing of 21 facilities and reduced our work force by more than 7% in connection with these plans. Charges related to our actions announced in October were $431 and affected net earnings for the quarter by $279. Charges for all restructuring activities during the quarter totaled $440, including $155 for employee terminations, $196 for asset impairments and $89 for exit and other costs. We charged cost of sales for $85 of these expenses, including $38 for inventory impairment. Net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2001 were impacted by $284.

         For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded total expenses of $476, including $390 charged to restructuring expense and $86 charged to cost of sales, in connection with our restructuring actions. In 2002, we expect to reduce our workforce further and announce additional facility closures related to our October 2001 initiatives. We expect the cost of these actions, along with related activities that must be expensed as incurred, to reduce our 2002 net income by $166. Including these projected expenses, the total after-tax cost of our October 2001 initiatives is estimated at $445. We expect our actions to reduce our break-even point by eliminating excess capacity. The related savings for the year ending December 31, 2002 are projected to be at least $80 after tax.

         The following table summarizes the restructuring charges and activity recorded in the last three years:

    40       1       4,119  

         At December 31, 2001, $259 of restructuring charges remained in accrued liabilities. This balance was comprised of $206 for the reduction of approximately 4,200 employees to be completed in 2002 and $53 for lease terminations and other exit costs. The estimated annual cash expenditures will be approximately $120 in 2002, $38 in 2003 and $101 thereafter. Additional cash requirements will arise in 2002 as the remaining facility closures and work force reductions under the October 2001 plan are implemented. We currently expect the total cash expenditures in 2002 relative to the October 2001 initiatives to approximate $300. Our liquidity and cash flows, while projected to be more than adequate to satisfy our obligations related to our restructuring plans, will be adversely impacted in 2002 by these expenditures.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion of accounting policies is intended to supplement the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies presented as Note 1 to our 2001 financial statements. These policies were selected because they are broadly applicable within our operating units. The expenses and accrued liabilities or allowances related to certain of these policies are initially based on our best estimates at the time of original entry in our accounting records. Adjustments are recorded when our actual experience differs from the expected experience underlying the estimates. These adjustments could be material if our experience were to change significantly in a short period of time. We make frequent comparisons of actual experience and expected experience in order to mitigate the likelihood of material adjustments.

Goodwill and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – We perform impairment analyses of our recorded goodwill and long-lived assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired. When the undiscounted cash flows, without interest or tax charges, are less than the carrying value of the assets being reviewed for impairment, the assets are written down to fair market value. During 2001, we recorded goodwill and long-lived asset impairment provisions of $166, which largely resulted from the downturn in our markets and the resulting restructuring of our operations.

         The adoption of SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142) on January 1, 2002, will change our methodology for assessing goodwill impairments. We believe that the initial application of this statement is likely to result in the impairment of goodwill due to the differences in the methods of calculating impairment. We have substantially completed the first step of the initial impairment test required by SFAS 142 and identified $400 of goodwill that may be impaired based upon the new accounting requirements. We will complete the impairment testing required to determine the actual amounts of goodwill impaired in 2002.

Inventory – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is generally determined on the last-in, first-out basis for U.S. inventories and on the first-in, first-out or average cost basis for non-U.S. inventories. Where appropriate, standard cost systems are utilized for purposes of determining cost; the standards are adjusted as necessary to ensure they approximate actual costs. Estimates of lower of cost or market value of inventory are determined at the reporting unit level and are based upon the inventory at that location taken as a whole. These estimates are based upon current economic conditions, historical sales quantities and patterns and, in some cases, the specific risk of loss on specifically identified inventories.

Sales Returns and Allowances – Accruals for sales returns and allowances are provided at the time of shipment based upon past experience and are recorded as a reduction of sales. The estimated value of product that will be returned to inventory as a result of returns is recorded as a reduction of cost of sales and the accrued returns allowance. As new information becomes available the accruals are adjusted accordingly. Accrued liabilities at December 31, 2000 and 2001 were $67 and $66, respectively.

Warranty – Estimated costs related to product warranty are accrued at the time of sale and included in cost of sales. Estimated costs are based upon past warranty claims and sales history and adjusted as required to reflect actual costs incurred, as information becomes available. Warranty expense totaled $68, $90 and $92 in 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Accrued liabilities for warranty expense at December 31, 2000 and 2001 was $127 and $138, respectively.

Pension and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions – Annual net periodic expense and benefit liabilities under our defined plans are determined on an actuarial basis. Each September, we review the actual experience compared to the more significant assumptions used and make adjustments to the assumptions, if warranted. The healthcare trend rates are reviewed with the actuaries based upon the results of their review of claims experience. Discount rates are based upon an expected benefit payments duration analysis and the equivalent average yield rate for high-quality fixed-income investments. Pension benefits are funded through deposits with trustees and the expected long-term rate of return on fund assets is based upon actual historical returns modified for known changes in the market and any expected change in investment policy. Postretirement benefits are not funded and our policy is to pay these benefits as they become due.

         Certain accounting guidance, including the guidance applicable to pensions, does not require immediate recognition of the effects of a deviation between actual and assumed experience or the revision of an estimate. This approach allows the favorable and unfavorable effects that fall within an acceptable range to be netted. Although this netting occurs outside the basic financial statements, disclosure of the net amount is disclosed as an unrecognized gain or loss in the footnotes to our financial statements. The actuarial loss related to our 2001 return on pension plan assets was offset, in part, by the unamortized portion of gains experienced in prior years. A portion of the unrecognized loss of $229 will be amortized into earnings in 2002. The effect on years beyond 2002 will depend in large part on the actual experience of the plans in 2002.

DANA CORPORATION / Annual Report 2001

Other Loss Reserves – We have numerous other loss exposures, such as environmental claims, product liability, litigation, recoverability of deferred income tax benefits, accounts receivable and loan and lease loss reserves. Establishing loss reserves for these matters requires the use of estimates and judgment in regards to risk exposure and ultimate liability. We estimate losses under the programs using consistent and appropriate methods; however, changes to our assumptions could materially affect our recorded liabilities for loss. Where available we utilize published credit ratings for our debtors to assist us in determining the amount of required reserves.

Results of Operations (2001 versus 2000)

Our worldwide sales decreased $2,046 in 2001 to $10,271, a 17% decline from the $12,317 recorded in 2000. The decline included $113 related to the effect of divestitures, net of acquisitions, and $232 of adverse effects of currency fluctuations. Excluding these effects, worldwide sales decreased $1,701 or 14%. Our worldwide experience was largely based on our volume in the U.S., where 2001 sales of $6,863 represented a decline of $1,689 or 20% versus the prior year. Excluding the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures, U.S. sales declined $1,538 or 18%.

         Overall sales outside the U.S. fared better, slipping $357 or 9% compared to last year. Nearly two-thirds of the decline resulted from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies since last year. The currencies accounting for the largest components of the approximately $232 adverse impact were the Brazilian real ($87), the euro ($44), the Canadian dollar ($30), the Australian dollar ($24), and the British pound ($21). Excluding the adverse effects of currency fluctuations and acquisitions and divestitures, sales decreased $89 or 2%. The net decline related to acquisitions and divestitures was $36.

         Sales by region for the year were as follows:

         Sales in North America decreased $1,765 or 19% for the period. Excluding the effect of divestitures, the decline was $1,614 or 17%. As noted above, the relative weakness of the Canadian dollar accounted for $30 of the reduction in sales. European sales were down 9% in local currency but conversion to U.S. dollars pared another $69 for a total decline of $243 or 12%. Sales lost through divestitures exceeded the amount added through acquisitions by $39. South American sales improved 16% in local currencies and net acquisitions added $73, but sales were down $10 or 2% after absorbing $100 of adverse currency effects. Sales in Asia Pacific were down $28 as $35 of adverse currency impact was partially offset by local growth of $3 and a $4 net effect of acquisitions and divestitures.

         Our Strategic Business Units (SBUs) – Automotive Systems Group (ASG), Automotive Aftermarket Group (AAG), Engine and Fluid Management Group (EFMG), Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS), Off-Highway Systems Group (OHSG) and Dana Credit Corporation (DCC) – represent our business segments. We realigned certain businesses within our SBU structure in 2001. The most significant change was consolidating our Engine Systems and Fluid Systems Groups into the newly created EFMG. Our segment information has been restated to reflect the changes made to the SBU alignment in 2001.

         Sales by SBU for 2000 and 2001 are presented in the following table. DCC did not record sales in either year. The “Other” category in the table represents facilities that have been closed or sold and operations not assigned to the SBUs.

         ASG incurred a sales decline in 2001 of $805 or 18% when compared to 2000. The North American region experienced $742 of this shortfall. The decline in production volume which began in the second half of 2000 continued for North American light vehicle and heavy truck manufacturers in 2001, with light vehicle production dropping to 15.5 million units from 17.2 million units in 2000. Sales in both markets were generally flat in the first quarter of 2001 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2000, but demand was sporadic and margins were adversely affected by the high volume of production shift cancellations by our OE customers. The production schedules improved in the second quarter of 2001 in terms of volume but still displayed some of the irregularities of the first quarter. In the third quarter, the number of production shifts cancelled by our OE customers was nearly identical to what we experienced in the first quarter of 2001, as our customers countered excess dealer inventories with incentives and reduced production. Record incentives late in the year were effective in reducing the overall dealer inventories of our customers to a 15-year low, but production levels declined further. In addition, Ford and Chrysler vehicles in general and certain models with high Dana content in particular declined more than the light vehicle market overall in 2001. The decline in heavy truck production which began in the middle of 2000 continued through the end of 2001. The North American heavy truck market saw more than a 40% reduction in volume when compared to 2000. Outside North America, the regions reported an aggregate sales decrease of $63. Sales in Europe were down $49 as an adverse currency impact of $19 and $42 of organic declines (organic decline being the residual change after excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and currency changes) more than offset acquisition benefits of $12. Sales in South America were $10 below the same period in the prior year, as the $14 of organic decline and $45 of adverse effects of weaker currencies more than offset the net acquisition impact of $49. Sales in Asia Pacific were flat with currency declines of $29 offsetting acquisition impact of $21 and modest organic growth.

Dollars in millions

         AAG also ended the year with a decline in sales. Most of the decline was in North America, which represents more than three- fourths of its global market, where volumes were down $187 or 8%. While there was a reported improvement in domestic aftermarket retail sales in 2001, this did not significantly improve our sales, as retailers generally met the higher demand with existing inventory. Divestitures also contributed $44 to the decline. Sales in Europe declined $25 due to $8 in adverse currency effects and a $17 decline in organic sales. Sales in South America were down $2 as a $23 currency decrease was partially offset by local growth of $15 and $6 of acquisition impact. Divestitures accounted for $13 of the $16 sales decline recorded in Asia Pacific.

         EFMG experienced a sales decrease of $263 or 11% for 2001 versus last year. Sales for the final quarter of 2001 held even with the third quarter, which had shown a 14% decline from the second quarter of the year. The Fluid Systems business in this group benefited from having content on models that avoided the severe OE production cuts that have affected most of the other SBUs. Sales in North America were down $231 or 14% as the automotive, commercial vehicle and aftermarket sectors all trailed prior year volumes. Sales in Europe were down $31 or 5% with adverse currency effects of $25 playing a significant role. Sales were generally flat in South America as adverse currency effects of $22 were nearly offset by organic growth of $15 and a net acquisition impact of $5.

         CVS experienced a year-on-year decline in sales in 2001 of $480 or 30% for the reasons cited relative to the heavy truck market in the discussion of ASG above. The decline in CVS sales included $60 of divestiture impact, $56 of which was in North America. Excluding this effect, sales in North America for the period were 26% below those of 2000. Aggregate sales for the other three regions declined $33 or 36% in a year-on-year comparison with $7 due to divestitures and adverse currency effects.

         OHSG finished the year down $165 or 21% in sales versus 2000, with $9 resulting from divestitures, all in North America. Currency impact accounted for $19 of the decline, and organic sales fell $92 in North America, where overall markets were weak, and $49 in Europe, where the construction market softened and the agricultural market remained weak.

         Sales in Other decreased $104 or 43% compared to 2000, reflecting the sale of most of the Warner Electric businesses at the end of February 2000.

         Revenue from lease financing decreased $28 or 20% in 2001 as DCC realized a decline of $24 on reduced leasing activity, including a $10 decline in income realized on the sale of leased assets, and a $4 decline in its interest income.

         In 2001, other income included a $50 gain on the divestitures of our Chelsea power take-off business and of our Glacier industrial bearings businesses. Also included in 2001 was a $35 loss on the sales of our Mr. Gasket subsidiary, our Marion, Ohio forging facility and the assets of our Dallas, Texas and Washington, Missouri Engine and Fluid Management Group operations. Included in the total for 2000 was $179 of gains on the divestitures of the Gresen hydraulics business, certain portions of our constant velocity joint business, most of the global Warner Electric businesses and the Commercial Vehicle Cab Systems Group. In addition, a $10 net charge related to final settlement of the Midland Grau divestiture was recorded in the third quarter of 2000, bringing to $169 the amount of net non-recurring income included in other income.

         Gross margin for 2001 was 9.8% versus 13.9% in 2000. Margins in all our SBUs were severely affected as the decline in volume reduced our ability to absorb fixed operating expenses. Cost of sales included charges of $86 in 2001 and $17 in 2000 in connection with our restructuring activities.

         Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased $147 during 2001 compared to last year. The net effect of divestitures accounted for $21 of this change, and currency exchange caused another $20 of the decline. The largest changes occurred in Europe, where currency fluctuations caused $7 of the $33 non-divestiture related decrease. Most of the remaining decrease was from the North American region, where our operating units scaled their capacity in reaction to severely reduced customer production schedules in the light truck and commercial vehicle markets.

         Operating margin (our gross margin reduced by SG&A expenses) was 0.2% in 2001 compared to 4.8% in 2000 for the above reasons.

         Interest expense was $14 lower as a result of lower debt and reduced rates.

         Both the effective tax rates and the comparison of the effective tax rates for 2001 and 2000 are impacted by the substantial pre-tax loss reported in 2001. Because of the pre-tax loss in 2001, certain permanent differences between financial accounting rules and tax regulations that increase the tax rate when we report pre-tax income serve to reduce the effective rate.

         Equity in earnings of affiliates in 2001 was $22 lower than in 2000. The $39 reduction in equity earnings in Mexico and the $11 decrease in earnings from DCC’s equity investments adversely affected this line item. Partially offsetting these items were the earnings related to our investment in GETRAG and the loss reduction that occurred when we acquired the remaining interest in Danaven and began consolidating its results.

         We reported a $298 net loss in 2001 versus net income of $334 reported in 2000. Comparisons are made difficult by the unusual charges and one-time gains recorded in both years. In 2001, we recorded after-tax charges of $313 in connection with our restructuring efforts and $10 of gains on divestitures. In 2000, we recorded $43 of restructuring and other unusual charges net of the gains recorded on several divestitures. Excluding these items, earnings would have been $5 in 2001 and $377 in 2000.

         Unusual items in 2001 included net after-tax charges of $41 in ASG, $85 in AAG, $108 in EFMG, $12 in CVS and $43 in OHSG; a net charge of $14 was reflected in the Other category. In 2000, unusual charges were $47 in ASG, $39 in AAG and $32 in EFMG, while one-time gains were $27 in CVS, $16 in OHSG and $32 in Other.

Results of Operations (2000 versus 1999)

Our worldwide sales were $12,317 in 2000, a 6% or $842 decline from the $13,159 recorded in 1999. The divestitures completed in the first quarter of 2000 were a significant factor in the decline. Net of the effect of acquisitions, these divestitures accounted for a $410 reduction in sales for the year. Currency fluctuations accounted for an additional $279 decline in sales.

         U.S. sales were $8,552, a 9% or $861 decline from the 1999 level, with divestitures net of acquisitions accounting for $408 of the decrease. Exports from the U.S. declined from $939 in 1999 to $832 in 2000.

         Sales by region for 1999 and 2000 are presented in the following table.

         In 2000, overall sales outside the United States increased $20 despite the $279 adverse impact of further strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Sales for our operations in Canada and Mexico were flat after considering a $4 benefit from currency changes; acquisitions and divestitures were not a factor in those countries. Sales in Europe benefited from a net $65 increase related to acquisitions net of divestitures and organic growth added another $79. These positive effects were more than offset by $247 of adverse currency impact as the U.S. dollar equivalent of sales denominated in euros and pounds declined $207 and $32, respectively, due to weakness in those currencies. In South America, where currency weakness resulted in an $11 sales decline, the effect of divestitures net of acquisitions was a $66 drop in sales. Continuing recovery in the region was evident however in the $90 of organic growth. Organic growth in Asia Pacific sales totaled $133, more than offsetting the $25 of adverse currency effects. Sales due to acquisitions equaled those lost by way of divestitures.

         ASG sales in North America decreased $103 or 3% in 2000 as a result of light vehicle and heavy truck OEM production cuts intended to reduce dealer inventory. Light vehicle production in North America started the year near all-time record levels but declined in the second half of 2000 to end at 17.2 million units. SUVs and light trucks displayed a similar trend line while maintaining their share of overall production. While sales appeared flat in South America, internal growth in Brazil across all the ASG product lines was slightly more than the combined negative effect of currency ($8) and net divestitures ($55). Sales in Europe benefited from our acquisition of the GKN driveshaft business early in the year, which added sales of $142, but gave back $75 to currency effects. ASG’s internal growth of nearly $40 resulted from improvement in both driveshaft and axle sales. The acquisition of the automotive axle manufacturing and stamping business of Invensys plc added $34 of sales in Asia Pacific, more than offsetting the $22 adverse currency effect and complementing the $141 of organic growth resulting mainly from new modular systems business.

         AAG ended 2000 with a $187 decrease in sales, of which nearly $44 related to the late 1999 divestiture of Sierra. Inefficiencies in consolidating parts of its warehousing operations and softness in the North American automotive aftermarket were key factors in the $85 sales decline at AAG’s operating units in this region. Sales in Europe were marginally higher than in 1999 but the region lost $40 to currency movements. Modest sales improvement in South America was offset by decreases in Asia Pacific. There were no acquisitions or divestitures in either region and currency effects were minimal.

         Sales in EFMG declined $95 in 2000 as North America lost $42 in its ongoing operations and another $6 due to a divestiture. Operations in Europe incurred currency losses of $78 to account for their $52 sales decline after $27 of organic growth. Sales in South America were up slightly due to modest internal growth.

         CVS continued its success of 1999 during the first half of 2000, growing sales 4% after excluding the effects of two divestitures in the first quarter of 2000. However, early in the second half of the year, heavy truck manufacturers sharply reduced production in response to falling demand and excess inventory. CVS sales fell by one-third in the second half and finished the full year $306 below 1999 results. The divestiture impact for the full year was $106 and currency losses pared another $9, leaving $190 of organic sales reductions.

         OHSG sales fell $84 overall in 2000 as the divestiture of the Gresen Hydraulics business in January 2000 resulted in a $99 decline in sales and adverse currency impacts accounted for another $44. Organic growth was flat. North American sales declined $96 with $86 attributable to the Gresen divestiture. In Europe, sales were $14 higher as much of the $58 added through acquisitions was offset by a $44 adverse effect from weakness in the euro. South American sales were down $3 as $8 of organic growth was negated by $11 lost through the Gresen divestiture.

         Revenue from lease financing increased $32 or 29% in 2000 on a $15 increase in direct finance lease income and a $17 increase in interest income and income from property rentals recognized by DCC.

         Other income increased $148 in 2000, primarily the result of a $156 increase in gains on divestitures that was partially offset by a $9 decrease in interest income exclusive of the DCC interest income which is included in lease financing revenue.

         Gross margin in 2000 was 13.9%, well below the 16.7% reported in 1999. Results in all regions reflected lower gross margins, but the declines were most severe in North America and Asia Pacific. In North America, ASG and CVS were both affected by producing above optimum capacity in the first half of the year. In the second half, these units were impacted by erratic demand from their major customers and generally fell well below efficient production levels. AAG margins were impacted by softness in the automotive aftermarket. In Asia Pacific, ASG margins were affected by startup costs related to our new modular business in Australia. We incurred $17 in 2000 in connection with discontinuing certain lines of business and $57 in 1999 related to impairment and other rationalization adjustments and charged these amounts to cost of sales. Gross margins excluding these items would have been 14.1% in 2000 and 17.1% in 1999.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Dollars in millions

         Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased $60 in 2000, slightly exceeding the $56 attributed to the net effect of divestitures and acquisitions. DCC increased its general and administrative expenses by $9 with higher depreciation on leased assets and expenses related to a real estate investment being the largest components. SG&A as a percentage of sales was 9.2% in 2000 and 9.1% in 1999.

         Interest expense rose $44 or nearly 16% in 2000 as overall debt increased by almost 11%. Average short-term borrowings rose $452 to $1,614 and the average interest rate increased from 5.4% to 6.6%.

         Our effective tax rate was 36.8% in 2000. We continue to benefit from tax credits generated by our leasing operations and from relatively low state and local tax rates.

         Minority interest was unchanged in 2000. The minority interest in the gain recognized by Albarus S.A. on the sale of its interest in one of its affiliates was generally offset by the absence of the minority interest’s participation in operating earnings.

         We recorded $54 of equity in the earnings of our affiliates in 2000. Increased earnings at our affiliate in Mexico and expansion of the portion of leasing revenue earned on DCC’s equity investments more than offset the $27 loss recorded in the fourth quarter at our 49%-owned affiliate in Venezuela.

         Net income was $334 in 2000 versus $513 reported in 1999. Comparisons are made difficult by restructuring and other unusual items recorded in both years. In 1999 we recorded $165 of such charges net of the gain recorded in the AAG on the sale of Sierra. In 2000, we recorded $43 of restructuring and other unusual charges net of the gains recorded on several divestitures. Excluding these items, earnings would have been $377 in 2000 and $678 in 1999.

         Unusual items in 2000 included net charges of $47 in ASG, $39 in AAG, $32 in EFMG and net credits of $27 in CVS and $16 in OHSG; a net gain of $32 was reflected in the Other category. In 1999, unusual charges were $59 in ASG, $40 in AAG, $3 in CVS, $34 in EFMG, $1 in OHSG and $28 in Other.

Market Trends

The light vehicle market in North America is difficult to project as we pass the midpoint in the first quarter of 2002. One uncertainty is the impact that the record incentives offered in the fourth quarter of 2001 will have on future retail sales volume. Absent broader economic recovery, demand may weaken in the first half of 2002. We remain conservative in projecting light vehicle production of 14.5 million units in North America in 2002. No improvement is anticipated in the light vehicular markets outside North America in 2002.

         The automotive aftermarket continues to demonstrate strength at the retail level. As our customers resolve their consolidation and inventory reduction issues, which adversely affected our AAG sales in the second half of 2001, we expect increased demand for our products in 2002. Combined with the effect of price increases implemented in recent months and others planned for this year, we expect the increase in demand to result in modest growth in our automotive aftermarket business during 2002.

         Inventory levels in the heavy truck market declined by nearly 50% in 2001, while production for the year was down more than 40%. The inventory reduction was a prerequisite for the leveling out expected in this market. Although preliminary orders for heavy trucks reported for January 2002 were at their highest level in nearly two years, they represent relatively modest improvement on an historic scale. The new EPA standards governing diesel engine emissions that become effective in October 2002 could impact the timing of 2002 production if customers rush to buy units in advance of the new standards. This possibility may make it difficult for us to interpret the monthly volume of orders and production, but we expect North American heavy truck volume to approximate 130,000 units for the year.

         We expect to benefit from net new business estimated at $405 for 2002 and approximately $6,000 through 2006, based on our review of the production projections of our OE customers. New business wins in 2001 included innovative products for Ford and General Motors, as well as for non-U.S.-based manufacturers, including BMW, Isuzu, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen. In the heavy truck market, key wins in 2001 included business with International and PACCAR.

         In the first quarter of 2000, we recognized approximately $85 (53 cents per share) of non-recurring income representing gains on divestitures, net of $12 of integration expenses. In the second quarter, we recorded $10 (7 cents per share) of integration charges incurred in connection with consolidating our Engine Management warehouse operations. In the third quarter, we recorded a charge of $32 (21 cents per share) related to the closing of our Reading, Pa., structures facility.

         In the fourth quarter of 2000, we recorded $86 million of unusual charges (58 cents per share), including restructuring expenses related to closing several facilities ($34), integration expenses incurred primarily in the Engine Management Division and in relocating operations of closed facilities ($21), equity losses related to our 49%-owned affiliate in Venezuela ($20) and costs associated with exiting several lines of business ($11).

         In the first quarter of 2001, we recorded an after-tax loss of $12 on the sale of Mr. Gasket, a wholly owned subsidiary. We also recorded $22 of restructuring expense in connection with the announced closing of six facilities in the ASG and EFMG and workforce reductions at other facilities. These charges included $10 for employee termination benefits, $7 for asset impairment and $5 for other exit costs and impacted net earnings by $14. Total unusual charges for the quarter totaled $28 (19 cents per share).

         In the second quarter of 2001, we divested our Marion, Ohio, forging facility and the assets of EFMG facilities in Dallas, Texas, and Washington, Mo. A net after-tax loss of $8 (5 cents per share) resulted from these transactions. Charges related to our on-going efforts to downsize various operations adversely affected net income by $4 (3 cents per share) in the second quarter.

         We completed the sale of our Chelsea power take-off business to Parker Hannifin Corporation in July. The sale of our Glacier industrial polymer bearings businesses to Goodrich Corporation was completed the following month. After-tax gains totaling $30 were recorded on these transactions. We announced additional facility closings in the third quarter. We accrued additional restructuring charges of $12 in connection with these announcements, which affected earnings by $7 net of tax benefits. Net non-recurring income for the quarter was $21 (14 cents per share).

         In October, we announced plans to reduce our global workforce by more than 15 percent and initiated a review of more than 30 facilities for possible consolidation or closure. During the fourth quarter, we announced the closing of 21 of these facilities and reduced our workforce by more than 7%. Charges for these and related actions totaled $440, including $155 for employee terminations, $196 for asset impairments and $89 for exit and other costs. Net earnings were impacted by $284 ($1.92 per share).
