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-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006 by the due date of May 10, 2006 or the extended filing date of May 15, 2006, because we require additional time to complete the financial statements to be included in our Form 10-Q, in light of the bankruptcy filing.
     As a result of our chapter 11 filing, we have adopted and are subject to the accounting requirements of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code” (SOP 90-7). Under SOP 90-7, revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses and provisions for losses that can be directly associated with the reorganization must be reported separately as reorganization items in our statement of operations. Our balance sheet must distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from both pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and post-petition liabilities, and our statement of cash flows must disclose cash provided by the reorganization items. The SOP 90-7 requirements are new to us and we require additional time to prepare our financial statements in accordance with them.
     We expect to file our first-quarter Form 10-Q before May 31, 2006.
PART IV – OTHER INFORMATION
(1)   Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification
         
Michael L. DeBacker   419   535-4647
(Name)

If answer is no, identify report(s).
     Yes þ            No o
(3)   Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
     Yes þ            No o

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
We expect to record a loss for the first quarter of 2006, compared to a profit in the first quarter of 2005, primarily as a result of our lower operating margins, reorganization costs and discontinued recognition of tax benefits on U.S. losses. We cannot reasonably estimate our 2006 loss until we have completed the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter in accordance with the SOP 90-7 accounting requirements discussed above.
