PART III – NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
     As reported in our Form 8-K filed on March 6, 2006, Dana Corporation and forty of its domestic subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (the Court) (Case No. 06-10354) on March 3, 2006.
     We will be unable to file our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 by the March 16, 2006 due date or the March 31, 2006 extended filing date because we require additional time to complete our financial statements and non-financial disclosures in the Form 10-K, in light of the bankruptcy filing, and to complete our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005.
     We expect to file our 2005 Form 10-K before April 30, 2006.

     Although we do not have complete financial information for full-year 2005, we expect the changes in Dana’s results for 2005, as compared to the year 2004, will be consistent with the changes that we previously reported for the first nine months of each year. We reported sales of $7,505 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $6,755 million for the same period in 2004, and a net loss of $1,226 million for first nine months of 2005, compared to net income of $200 million for the same period in 2004. We also reported that the primary reasons for the difference in the period-to-period change in net income were the following items recorded in the third quarter of 2005: a valuation allowance for net U.S. and U.K. deferred tax assets that reduced net income by $918 million in the period; an impairment charge of $275 million after tax resulting from plans to divest our non-core engine hard parts, fluid products, and pump products businesses; and aggregate charges of approximately $16 million related to the sale of our domestic fuel rail business and the dissolution of our engine bearings joint venture with The Daido Metal Company.
