                            (Unaudited)


NOTE:  For purposes of the notes and Item 2, Raytech Corporation
       and its subsidiaries are referenced on a consolidated basis
       as "Raytech" or the "Company" where appropriate.


NOTE A - Formation of Raytech Corporation, Sale of Raymark,
         Chapter 11 Proceeding and Other Litigation

        Raytech Corporation ("Raytech" or the "Company") was
incorporated in June 1986 in Delaware and held as a subsidiary of
Raymark Corporation ("Raymark").  In October 1986, Raytech became
the publicly traded (NYSE) holding company of Raymark stock through
a triangular merger restructuring plan approved by Raymark's
shareholders whereby each share of common stock of Raymark was
automatically converted into both a share of Raytech common stock
and a right to purchase a warrant for Raytech common stock.  The
warrants expired on October 1, 1994.  The purpose of the formation
of Raytech and the restructuring plan was to provide a means to gain
access to new sources of capital and borrowed funds to be used to
finance the acquisition and operation of new businesses in a
corporate structure that should not subject it or such acquired
businesses to any asbestos-related or other liabilities of Raymark
under the doctrine of successor liability, piercing the corporate
veil and fraudulent conveyance.

        Prior to the formation of Raytech, Raymark had been named
as a defendant in more than 88,000 lawsuits claiming substantial
damages for injury or death from exposure to airborne asbestos
fibers.  Subsequent to the divestiture sale of Raymark in 1988,
lawsuits continued to be filed against Raymark at the rate of
approximately 1,000 per month until an involuntary petition in
bankruptcy was filed against Raymark in February 1989, which stayed
all its litigation.  In August 1996, the involuntary petition filed
against Raymark was dismissed following a trial and the stay was
lifted.  However, in March 1998, Raymark filed a voluntary
bankruptcy petition again staying the litigation.

        In accordance with the restructuring plan, Raytech
purchased the Wet Clutch and Brake Division and German subsidiary in
1987 from its then wholly-owned subsidiary, Raymark.  Each such
acquisition was financed through borrowed funds from new lenders
and Raytech stock and notes.  Pursuant to these acquisitions,
Raymark agreed to indemnify Raytech for any future liabilities and
costs that may result from asbestos litigation.  Management believed
that each purchase by Raytech from Raymark complied with Raytech's

<PAGE>
restructuring plan principles of (i) paying fair market value, (ii)
acquiring businesses that did not give rise to any asbestos-related
or other claims against Raymark, (iii) permitting Raymark to retain
the proceeds for its ongoing business and creditors, (iv) entering
the transactions in good faith and not to hinder, delay or defraud
creditors, and (v) conducting its affairs independent of Raymark.

        In May 1988, following shareholder approval, Raytech sold
all of the Raymark stock to Asbestos Litigation Management, Inc.,
thereby divesting itself of Raymark.  Consideration received for the
Raymark stock consisted of $50 cash paid at the closing and a 7-l/2%
$950 promissory note to be paid in six equal annual installments.

        Despite the restructuring plan implementation and
subsequent divestiture of Raymark, Raytech was named a co-defendant
with Raymark and other named defendants in approximately 3,300
asbestos-related lawsuits as a successor in liability to Raymark.
Until February 1989, the defense of all such lawsuits was provided
to Raytech by Raymark in accordance with the indemnification
agreement included as a condition of the purchase of the Wet Clutch
and Brake Division and German subsidiary from Raymark in 1987.
However, subsequent to the involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
against Raymark, a restrictive insurance funding order was issued by
an Illinois Court, denying defense costs, and another Raymark
insurance carrier had been declared insolvent.  These circumstances
caused Raymark to be unable to fund the costs of defense to Raytech
in the asbestos-related lawsuits referenced above. Raytech
management was informed that Raymark's cost of defense and
disposition of cases up to the automatic stay of litigation in 1989
under the involuntary bankruptcy proceedings was approximately $333
million of Raymark's total insurance coverage of approximately $395
million.  It has also been informed that as a result of the
dismissal of the involuntary petition, Raymark encountered newly
filed asbestos-related lawsuits but had received $27 million from a
state guarantee association to make up the insurance policies of the
insolvent carrier and had $32 million in other policies to defend
against such litigation.  In March 1998, Raymark filed a voluntary
bankruptcy petition as a result of several large asbestos-related
judgments.

        In an asbestos-related personal injury case decided in
October 1988 in a U.S. District Court in Oregon, Raytech was ruled
under Oregon equity law to be a successor to Raymark's asbestos-
related liability.  The successor ruling was appealed by Raytech and
in October 1992 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the
District Court's judgment on the grounds stated in the District
Court's opinion.  The effect of this decision extends beyond the
Oregon District due to a Third Circuit Court of Appeals decision in
a related case cited below wherein Raytech was collaterally estopped
(precluded) from relitigating the issue of its successor liability
for Raymark's asbestos-related liabilities.

        As the result of the inability of Raymark to fund Raytech's
costs of defense recited above, and in order to obtain a ruling
binding across all jurisdictions as to whether Raytech is liable as
a successor for asbestos-related and other claims, including claims
yet to be filed relating to the operations of Raymark or its
predecessors, on March 10, 1989, Raytech filed a petition seeking
relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11, United States Code in the
United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Connecticut.  Under
Chapter 11, substantially all litigation against Raytech has been
stayed while the debtor corporation and its non-filed operating
subsidiaries continue to operate their businesses in the ordinary
course under the same management and without disruption to
employees, customers or suppliers.  In the Bankruptcy Court a
creditors' committee was appointed, comprised primarily of asbestos
claimants' attorneys.  In August 1995, an official committee of
equity security holders was appointed  relating to a determination
of equity security holders' interest in the estate.

        In June 1989 Raytech filed a class action in the Bankruptcy
Court against all present and future asbestos claimants seeking a
declaratory judgment that it not be held liable for the asbestos-
related liabilities of Raymark.  It was the intent of Raytech to
have this case heard in the U.S. District Court, and since the
authority of the Bankruptcy Court is referred from the U.S. District
Court, upon its motion and argument the U.S. District Court withdrew
its reference of the case to the Bankruptcy Court and thereby agreed
to hear and decide the case.  In September 1991, the U.S. District
Court issued a ruling dismissing one count of the class action
citing as a reason the preclusive effect of the 1988 Oregon case,
previously discussed, under the doctrine of collateral estoppel
(conclusiveness of judgment in a prior action), in which Raytech was
ruled to be a successor to Raymark's asbestos liability under Oregon
law.  The remaining counts before the U.S. District Court involve
the transfer of Raymark's asbestos-related liabilities to Raytech on
the legal theories of alter-ego and fraudulent conveyance.  Upon a
motion for reconsideration, the U.S. District Court affirmed its
prior ruling in February 1992.  Also, in February 1992, the U.S.
District Court transferred the case in its entirety to the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.  Such
transfer was made by the U.S. District Court without motion from any
party in the interest of the administration of justice as stated by
the U.S. District Court.  In December 1992, Raytech filed a motion
to activate the case and to obtain rulings on the remaining counts
which was denied by the U.S. District Court.  In October 1993, the
creditors' committee asked the Court to certify the previous
dismissal of the successor liability count.  In February 1994, the
U.S. District Court granted the motion to certify and the successor
liability dismissal was accordingly appealed.  In May 1995, the
Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Raytech is collaterally
estopped (precluded) from relitigating the issue of its successor
liability as ruled in the 1988 Oregon case recited above, affirming
the U.S. District Court's ruling of dismissal.  A petition for a

<PAGE>
writ of certiorari was denied by the U.S. Supreme Court in October
1995.  The ruling leaves the Oregon case, as affirmed by the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals, as the prevailing decision holding Raytech
to be a successor to Raymark's asbestos-related liabilities.

        Since the bankruptcy filing several entities have asserted
claims in Bankruptcy Court alleging environmental liabilities of
Raymark based upon similar theories of successor liability against
Raytech as alleged by asbestos claimants.  These claims are not
covered by the class action referenced above and will be resolved in
the bankruptcy case.  The environmental claims include a claim of
the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources ("DER") to
perform certain activities in connection with Raymark's Pennsylvania
manufacturing facility, which includes submission of an acceptable
closure plan for a landfill containing hazardous waste products
located at the facility and removal of accumulated baghouse dust
from its operations.  In March 1991, the Company entered a Consent
Order which required Raymark to submit a revised closure plan which
provides for the management and removal of hazardous waste, for
investigating, treating and monitoring of any contaminated
groundwater and for the protection of human health and environment
at the site, all relating to the closure of the Pennsylvania
landfill and to pay a nominal civil penalty.  The estimated cost for
Raymark to comply with the order is $1.2 million.  The DER has
reserved its right to reinstitute an action against the Company and
the other parties to the DER order in the event Raymark fails to
comply with its obligations under the Consent Order.  Another
environmental claim was filed against the Company by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency for civil penalties charged Raymark
in the amount of $12 million arising out of alleged Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act violations at Raymark's Stratford,
Connecticut, manufacturing facility.

        In January 1997, the U.S. Departmental Protection Agency
("EPA") and the State of Connecticut filed suit against Raymark
claiming damages for cleanup of the Stratford, Connecticut, site in
an amended amount of $300 million.  The EPA and the State of
Connecticut have also filed bankruptcy claims against Raytech as a
successor to Raymark for cleanup of the Stratford site and other
Raymark sites totaling $330 million.  Determination of Raytech's
liability for such claims is subject to Bankruptcy Court
deliberations and proceedings.

        Under bankruptcy rules, the debtor-in-possession has an
exclusive period in which to file a reorganization plan.  Such
exclusive period had been extended by the Bankruptcy Court pending
the conclusion of the successor liability litigation.  However, in
December 1992, the creditors' committee filed a motion to terminate
the exclusive period to file a plan of reorganization.  At a hearing
in May 1993, the motion was denied by the Bankruptcy Court but was
appealed by the creditors' committee.  In November 1993, the U.S.
District Court reversed the Bankruptcy Court and terminated the

<PAGE>
exclusive period to file a plan of reorganization effective in
January 1994.  Accordingly, any party in interest, including the
debtor, the creditors' committee or a creditor could thereafter file
a plan of reorganization.

        In May 1994, Raytech filed a Plan of Reorganization
("Debtor's Plan") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the purpose of
seeking confirmation allowing Raytech to emerge from the bankruptcy
filed March 10, 1989.  In September 1994, the creditors' committee
filed its own Plan of Reorganization in competition to the Debtor's
Plan ("Creditors' Plan").  Upon motion of the parties and support of
the Bankruptcy Court, the major interested parties agreed in August
1995 to participate in non-binding mediation to attempt to
effectuate a consensual plan of reorganization.  The mediation
process commenced in October 1995 and was concluded in March 1996
without agreement for a consensual plan of reorganization.  The
competing plans of Raytech and its creditors then returned to
Bankruptcy Court procedures.  As the result of the Memorandum of
Understanding between the Debtor and its Creditors referenced
hereafter, a consensual plan of reorganization has been drafted and
is circulating among the parties for review and approval.

        In February 1997, Raytech resumed making monthly payments
of $650,000 to Raymark pursuant to the 1987 Asset Purchase Agreement
as amended.  In November 1997, the creditors' committee filed an
adversary proceeding complaint and motion for a temporary
restraining order to halt the payments.  In January 1998, the
Bankruptcy Court stopped the payments pending a trial.  Raymark
notified its retirees by letter that their benefits would cease
after February 1998 due to the effect of the cessation of payments
from Raytech under the injunction.  Raymark retirees intervened in
the action; however, Raymark continued to fund their benefits.  Upon
motion, the Raymark retirees have been permitted to form a committee
in the Raytech bankruptcy, but any rights to the Raytech estate
remain subject to the Court's judicial determination.  In March
1999, the creditors' committee of retirees filed an adversary
proceeding against Raytech seeking a declaratory judgment holding
Raytech liable for employee welfare benefits due Raymark retirees,
including medical, life and supplemental pension benefits.  In April
1999, a separate adversary proceeding was filed by Raytech against
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation seeking a declaratory
judgment holding Raytech not liable for Raymark pension liabilities.
Both matters are pending in the Bankruptcy Court and discovery
procedures in the litigation are underway.

        Following Raytech's cessation of monthly $650,000 note
payments to Raymark in December 1997, Raymark commenced 33 separate
lawsuits against Raytech subsidiaries in various jurisdictions from
New York to California ("Raymark Litigation") demanding payment or
the return of assets for breach of contract.  Raytech filed an
adversary proceeding complaint to halt the Raymark litigation and
was granted a temporary restraining order in December 1997 by the

<PAGE>
Bankruptcy Court that remains in effect.  The creditors' committee
intervened in the action in support of the restraining order.

        In March and April 1998, Raymark and its parent, Raymark
Corporation, filed voluntary petitions in bankruptcy in a Utah Court
which stayed all litigation in the Raytech bankruptcy in which
Raymark was a party.  In connection with its attempt to assert
control over Raymark and its assets the creditors' committee, joined
by Raytech, the Guardian Ad Litem for future claimants, the equity
committee and the government agencies moved to have the venue of the
Raymark bankruptcies transferred from Utah to the Connecticut Court.
In July 1998, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order on the motions
and transferred venue to the Connecticut Court.  Raymark filed an
appeal of the order but has since withdrawn the appeal.  In October
1998, a trustee was appointed by the United States Trustee over the
Raymark bankruptcies.  The Trustee is currently administering the
Raymark estate.

        In April 1999, adversary actions were filed in the
Bankruptcy Court seeking judgments that retirees and pensioners of
Raymark have rights as claimants for their benefits in the Raytech
bankruptcy estate on the basis of successor liability.  The matters
are pending and hearings are expected in the Bankruptcy Court by
December 1999.

        In October, 1998 Raytech reached a tentative settlement
with its creditors and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
with respect to achieving a consensual plan of reorganization (the
"Plan").  The parties to the settlement include Raytech, the
Official Creditors Committee, the Guardian ad litem for Future
Claimants, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection
and the U. S. Department of Justice, Environmental and Natural
Resources Division.  Substantive economic terms of the Memorandum of
Understanding provide for all general unsecured creditors including
but not limited to all asbestos and environmental claimants to
receive, through a trust established under The Bankruptcy Code, 90%
of the equity in a company to be reorganized ("Reorganized Raytech")
and any and all refunds of taxes paid or net reductions in taxes
owing resulting from the transfer of equity to the trust, and
existing equity holders in Raytech to receive 10% of the equity in
Reorganized Raytech.  Substantive non-economic terms of the
Memorandum of Understanding provide for the parties to jointly work
to achieve a consensual Plan, to determine an appropriate approach
to related pension and employee benefit plans and to cease
activities that have generated adverse proceedings in the Bankruptcy
Court.  The parties have also agreed to jointly request a finding in
the confirmation order to the effect that while Raytech's
liabilities appear to exceed the reasonable value of its assets, the
allocation of 10% of the equity to existing equity holders is fair
and equitable by virtue of the benefit to the estate of resolving
complicated issues without further costly and burdensome litigation
and the risks attendant therewith and the economic benefits of


<PAGE>
emerging from bankruptcy without further delay.  The Plan has been
drafted and is under review and upon approval will be submitted to
the Court.  A bar date for claims was established in August 1999 and
claims filed are being analyzed for validity.

        In April 1996, the Indiana Department of Environmental
Management ("IDEM") advised Raybestos Products Company ("RPC"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, that it may have contributed
to the release of lead and PCB's (polychlorinated biphenyls) found
in small waterways near its Indiana facility.  In June, IDEM named
RPC as a potentially responsible party ("PRP").  RPC notified its
insurers of the IDEM action and one insurer responded by filing a
complaint in January 1997 in the U.S. District Court, Southern
District of Indiana, captioned Reliance Insurance Company vs. RPC
seeking a declaratory judgment that any liability of RPC is excluded
from its policy with RPC.  A motion for summary judgment has been
filed and is pending before the District Court.  RPC continues to
assess the extent of the contamination and its involvement and is
currently negotiating with IDEM for an agreed order of cleanup.  The
Company intends to offset its investigation and cleanup costs
against its notes payable to Raymark when such costs become known
pursuant to the indemnification clause in the wet clutch and brake
acquisition agreement since it appears that any contamination would
have occurred during Raymark's ownership of the Indiana facility.
During the nine months ended October 3, 1999, the Company offset
$2.6 million in costs against the notes payable to Raymark.  Blood
tests administered to residents in the vicinity of the small
waterways revealed no exposure.

        As a result of an inspection, the Company was notified that
the operations purchased from AFM in January 1996 in Sterling
Heights, Michigan, were in violation of a consent order issued by
the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ").  The
consent order included a compliance program providing for measures
to be taken to bring certain operations into compliance and record
keeping on operations in compliance.  Potential fines for the
violations were substantial but negotiations with the DEQ resulted
in an agreement in September 1998 providing for a consent judgment
with an fine of $324.

        In December 1998, a subsidiary of the Company filed a
complaint against a former administrative financial manager of AFM
alleging that he wrongfully converted Company monies in his control
to his own use and benefit in an amount greater than $3,000 prior to
the April 1998 completion of the acquisition of AFM as discussed in
the following paragraph.  The suit is being litigated in the U.S.
District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, seeking damages in the
amount wrongfully converted, plus other damages, interest, costs and
attorney fees.  Discovery is continuing, and a motion for a summary
judgment has been filed and is pending before the District Court.  A
constructive trust has been ordered by the Court providing ownership
of four real estate properties, previously held by a former

<PAGE>
administrative financial manager, to the Company.  The ultimate
realizable value of the properties is uncertain.  The Company will
record proceeds received from the sale of the properties as a
reduction of good will resulting from the AFM acquisition.  In
October, one property has been sold and efforts to sell the others
are pending.

        In April 1998, AFM redeemed 53% of its stock from the
former owner for a formulated amount of $6,044, $3,022 paid at
closing and the balance of $3,022 payable by note in three equal
annual installments resulting in the Company attaining 100%
ownership of AFM.  In April 1999, an adversary proceeding was filed
in the Connecticut Bankruptcy Court against the former owner  to
recover $1,500 of the amount paid for the AFM stock and to obtain a
declaratory judgment that the balance of $3,022 is not owed based
upon allegations that a fraud was perpetrated upon the Company
related to the case referenced above.  In September 1999, the
Bankruptcy Court granted jurisdiction of the case but exercised
discretionary abstention to enable the Court to focus on issues
impeding the plan confirmation.  The Company continues to carry the
note under its original terms pending the resolution of the
aforementioned claim.  In June 1999, the former owner filed an
action against the Company in a County Court in Michigan to enforce
payment of the note.  The matter was stayed pending the Bankruptcy
court's decision.  The case will now be tried in the Michigan County
Court.  An answer has been filed and discovery will begin soon.

        In January 1997, Raytech was named through a subsidiary
in a third party complaint captioned Martin Dembinski, et al. vs.
Farrell Lines, Inc., et al. vs. American Stevedoring, Ltd., et
al. filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
New York for damages for asbestos-related disease.  The case has
been removed to the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of
Pennsylvania.  When required, the Company will seek an injunction
in the Bankruptcy Court to halt the litigation.

        In December 1998, the trustee of Raymark, Raytech and
the Raytech creditors' committee joined in filing an adversary
proceeding (complaint) against Craig R. Smith, et al. (including
relatives, business associates and controlled corporations)
alleging systematic stripping of assets belonging to Raymark in
an elaborate and ongoing scheme perpetrated by the defendants.
The alleged fraudulent scheme extended back to the 1980's and
continued up to this action and has enriched the Smith family by
an estimated $12 million and has greatly profited their
associates, while depriving Raymark and its creditors of nearly
all of its assets amounting to more than $27 million.  Upon
motion of the plaintiffs, the Bankruptcy Court issued a temporary
restraining order stopping Mr. Smith and all defendants from
dissipating, conveying, encumbering or otherwise disposing of any
assets, which order has been amended several times and remains in
effect pending a preliminary injunction hearing.  The reference
to the Bankruptcy Court has been withdrawn, and the matter is now

<PAGE>
being litigated in the U.S. District Court in Connecticut.
Discovery procedures are continuing and a motion for a summary
judgment has been filed by the plaintiffs and is pending before
the District Court.  Judgment on the motion is expected in
November 1999.

        Costs incurred by the Company for asbestos related
liabilities are subject to indemnification by Raymark under the
1987 acquisition agreements.  By agreement, in the past, Raymark
has reimbursed the Company in part for such indemnified costs by
payment of the amounts due in Raytech common stock of equivalent
value.  Under such agreement, Raytech received 926,821 shares in
1989, 177,570 shares in 1990, 163,303 shares in 1991 and 80,000
shares in 1993.  The Company's acceptance of its own stock was
based upon an intent to control dilution of its outstanding
stock.  In 1992, the indemnified costs were reimbursed by
offsetting certain payments due Raymark from the Company under
the 1987 acquisition agreements.  Costs incurred in 1994, 1995,
1996, 1997 and 1998 were applied as a reduction of the note
obligations pursuant to the agreements.

        The adverse ruling in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, of
which a petition for writ of certiorari was denied by the U.S. Supreme
Court, precluding Raytech from relitigating the issue of its successor
liability leaves the U.S. District Court's (Oregon) 1988 ruling as the
prevailing decision holding Raytech to be a successor to Raymark's
asbestos-related liabilities.  This ruling could have had a material
adverse impact on Raytech as it did not have the resources needed to
fund Raymark's potentially substantial uninsured asbestos-related and
environmental liabilities.  However, the tentative settlement between
Raytech and its creditors as recited in the Memorandum of
Understanding referenced above has defined the impact of the successor
liabilities imposed by the referenced court decisions.  While an
outline of principles in the Memorandum of Understanding has been
agreed to by Raytech and its creditors, a consensual plan of
reorganization must still be written and agreed to by the parties of
interest in the bankruptcy and is subject to review and confirmation
by the Bankruptcy Court, which at this time cannot be predicted with
certainty.  Should the Memorandum of Understanding not result in a
confirmed plan of reorganization, the ultimate liability of the
Company with respect to asbestos-related, environmental, or other
claims would remain  undetermined.  The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue
as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations,
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal
course of business.  The uncertainties regarding the reorganization
proceedings raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include
any adjustments relating to the recoverability, revaluation and
classification of recorded asset amounts or adjustments relating to
establishment, settlement and classification of liabilities that may
be required in connection with reorganizing under the Bankruptcy Code.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     In preparing the discussion and analysis required by the Federal
Securities Laws, it is presumed that users of the interim financial
information have read or have access to the discussion and analysis for
the preceding fiscal year.

Results of Operations and Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Raytech Corporation worldwide net income was $3.4 million, or
$.98 per basic share for the third quarter ended October 3, 1999,
compared with $3.1 million, or $.90 per basic share, for the
corresponding period in 1998, an increase of 10 percent.  Net
income for the nine months ended October 3, 1999 was $13.2 million,
or $3.85 per basic share as compared with $13.2 million, or $3.90
per basic share for the corresponding period in 1998.  The decrease
in basic earnings per share is the result of an increased tax
provision of $.3 million, an increase in minority interest in
earnings of a subsidiary of $.2 million and a greater number of
shares outstanding during the period.  Earnings were driven by
strong performance in the aftermarket segment reflected in the
operating profit increase of 12.6% over the prior year and improved
performance in the wet friction segment due primarily to increased
sales in the automotive original equipment market reflected in the
operating profit increase of 2.9 percent over the prior year.  The
Company's dry friction operations were down slightly over last year
as a result of the startup operations in China and the continued
slowing of the economy in Europe.  Operating profits in this
segment were down 10 percent compared to the prior year.

Net Sales

     Worldwide net sales rose 1.6% for the quarter, to $62.5
million, and 4.0% for the nine months ended October 3, 1999, to
$195.6 million, compared with $61.5 million and $188.0 million,
respectively, last year.

     The wet friction segment reported increased sales of $3.4
million or 2.9 percent as compared to the same period in the prior
year.  The rise in sales is primarily the result of increased unit
production among the automotive original equipment manufacturers
and the sales of new products to this customer base, which is
reflected in the reported sales increase of $9.6 million in the
automotive original equipment market sector over the prior year.
Domestic car and light truck sales are expected to reach 17 million
units in 1999 according to industry analysts, which would be the
record year for sales in this industry.  The heavy duty markets
continue their decline as a result of the economic downturn in Asia
and Latin America.  In addition the demand for heavy duty equipment
was affected by a decline in orders from the oil and mining
industries.  Sales in this market decreased $1.0 million as


<PAGE>
compared to last year.  However domestic sales of heavy duty
equipment is expected to remain strong.  Demand for agricultural
equipment remains weak as the farm sector continues to feel the
effects of depressed agricultural commodity prices and reduced
domestic farm income.  Sales in this market decreased $5.2 million
or 45 percent over last year.

     Sales in the aftermarket segment increased by $5.8 million
over the same period in the prior year, equating to a 13 percent
growth rate.  Improved sales reflected deeper penetration into the
current customer base and sales of new products and the penetration
of new markets.  The sales of dry friction products in the North
American aftermarket, a new market for 1999, continued during this
quarter.

     The dry friction segment reported a decrease in sales of $1.5
million or 5.8 percent.  The reduction in sales is primarily due to
the cutback in orders from original equipment customers in Europe,
which reflects the slow economic conditions present in Western
Europe, somewhat offset by new sales from operations in China.

Operating Profits

     The following discussion of operating results by industry
segment relates to information contained in Note E - Segment
Reporting in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Operating profit as discussed in segment reporting is income before
income taxes and minority interest.

     Worldwide operating profits in the third quarter of $5.6
million reflected an increase of 1.8 percent over the same period
in the prior year.  Operating profit in the third quarter of 1998
was $5.5 million.  Operating profits for the nine months ended
October 3, 1999 of $21.6 reflected an increase of $.6 million or
2.9 percent over the prior year's amount of $21 million for the
same nine-month period.

     The wet friction segment reported operating profits of $4.0
million for the quarter ended October 3, 1999 as compared to $3.4
million for the same period in 1998, an increase of 17.6 percent.
The recorded operating profit for the 39-week period ended October
3, 1999 of $13.9 million reflects an increase of $.4 million over
the same period in the prior year, an increase of 3.0 percent.
This increase was driven by increased sales of $3.4 million during
this period and the improved gross profit in the third quarter.

     The aftermarket segment reported operating profits of $2.8
million for the quarter ended October 3, 1999, an increase of $.3
million over the same period in the prior year.  The 12.5 percent
increase in operating profits reflects improved sales of $1.2
million.  The reported operating profit for the 39-week period ended
October 3, 1999 of $8.6 million reflects an increase of $1 million
over the same period in the prior year.  The increased operating

<PAGE>
profit of 13.2 percent over the prior year was due to the increased
sales of $5.8 million during this 39-week period as compared to the
same period in the prior year.

     The dry friction operating profit of $.1 million during the
quarter ended October 3, 1999 reflects a decline of $.15 million from
the same period in the prior year.  The 39-week period ended
October 3, 1999 recorded operating profit of $1.13 million as
compared to t $1.26 million in the same period in 1999, a decrease of
$.13 million.  This decrease in operating profits reflects decreased
sales during the period of $1.5 million.

Income Taxes

     The effective tax rate for the thirteen-week period ended
October 3, 1999 was 29% compared to 34% for the same period in the
prior year. The effective tax rate for the thirty-nine week period
ended October 3, 1999 was 29.0% versus 28.1% in 1998. Included in the
effective tax rate for 1999 and 1998 is the effect of certain legal
and environmental costs deducted for tax purposes but offset against
the Raymark note payable in connection with the indemnification
agreement with Raymark.  The Company's net deferred tax asset of $4.5
million principally represents future tax deductions that can be
realized upon carryback to prior years and the tax effect of
approximately $6.5 million of foreign loss carryforwards that can be
used to offset future foreign cash taxes.

     The Company has in process an Internal Revenue Service tax
audit for the 1996, 1997 and 1998 fiscal years.  The IRS has advised
the Company that it is reviewing the deductibility of certain
bankruptcy related costs based on a recent Bankruptcy Court ruling
regarding certain administrative expenses.  The amount and specific
nature of costs that could be contested has not been specified.  No
provision has been made in the financial statements for any possible
assessment from the IRS on this matter.

Year 2000

     The Company's Year 2000 Program addresses major assessment
areas that include information systems, mainframe computers, personal
computers, the distributed network, the shop floor, facilities
systems, the Company's products, product research and development
facilities, and the readiness of the Company's suppliers and
distribution network.  The program includes the following phases:
identification and assessment, business criticality analysis, project
work prioritization, compliance plan development, remediation and
testing, production implementation, and contingency plan development
for mission critical systems.

     The Company is Year 2000 compliant with its mission critical
activities and systems.  The Company has initiated infrastructure and
information systems modifications to ensure that both hardware and
software systems are compliant.  The Company also is requesting

<PAGE>
assurances from its significant suppliers and dealers that they are
addressing this issue to ensure there will be no major disruptions.

     The total cost of the modifications and upgrades to date are
approximately $3.5 million.  Although no assurances can be given as
to the Company's compliance, particularly as it relates to third
parties, the Company does not expect that either future costs of
modifications or the consequences of any unsuccessful modifications
will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.  However, the failure to correct a
material Year 2000 problem could result in the interruption of
certain normal business activities and operations.  The Company's
most reasonably likely worst case scenario is that the Year 2000
noncompliance of a critical third party, such as an energy supplier,
could cause the supplier to fail to deliver, with the result that
production is interrupted at one or more facilities.  Such a
disruption in production could result in lost sales or profits.

Outlook

     The statements continued in this Outlook section are based on
management's current expectations.  With the exception of the
historical information contained herein, the statements presented in
this Outlook section are forward-looking  statements that involve
numerous risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ
materially.  The forward-looking statements contained in this Form
10-Q are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

    The Company expects to continue to face an increasingly
competitive automotive environment and a slowdown for the demand in
certain agricultural machine products.  Our major customers in the
automotive industry face an increased competitive automotive
environment which is likely to continue to limit Raytech's pricing
flexibility in the near term.  Although there are indications the
Asian economies have begun to stabilize, the Asian economic
difficulties could have an unfavorable effect on overall economic
conditions in the U. S. and Canada, where our major customers' sales
are concentrated.

     With regard to the Company's agricultural equipment operations,
due to extremely depressed agricultural commodity prices, the farm
sector remains under pressure.  United States Department of
Agriculture estimates of net farm cash income deteriorated during the
quarter and farm real estate values have declined in many parts of
the country.  In addition, credit availability for equipment
purchases in emerging markets is expected to remain limited.  As a
consequence of these factors, retail demand for farm equipment is now
projected to decline by 25-30 percent in North America this year,
with declines of 5-15 percent expected in other major markets.  In
light of this outlook and the Company's continuing  commitment to
aggressive asset management, production schedules  are being reviewed
for 1999 to ensure the Company's production meets demand.  The

<PAGE>
Company's outlook for 1999 worldwide sales and revenue anticipates
sales and revenues to approximate 1998 levels.  The growth in the
automobile original equipment market in conjunction with the
introduction of new products and new markets will offset the
anticipated sales reduction in the agricultural and European dry
friction markets.

Safe Harbor Statement

     Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995:  Statements under the  "Outlook" and "Year 2000"
headings above and other statements herein that relate to future
operating periods are subject to important risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially.  Forward-
looking statements relating to the Company's businesses involve
certain factors that are subject to change, including the many
interrelated factors that consumer confidence, including worldwide
demand for automotive and heavy duty products, general economic
conditions, the environment, actions of competitors in the various
industries in which the Company competes; production difficulties,
including capacity and supply constraints; dealer practices; labor
relations; interest and currency exchange rates (including the effect
of conversion to the euro); technological difficulties (including
Year 2000 compliance); accounting standards, and other risks and
uncertainties.  Further information, including factors that
potentially could materially affect the Company's financial results,
is included in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's wet friction and dry friction operations are
capital intensive and the required capital is funded through current
operations and external borrowing sources.  The aftermarket operation
has historically required less capital investment and has provided
needed capital through current operations.

     In the first nine months of 1999 a positive cash flow from
operating activities of $15.6 million resulted from the continued
strong operating performance and compares to $8.0 million in the same
period in 1998.  During this nine-month period of 1999, trade
accounts receivable increased $3.9 million, inventories increased
$2.0 and trade accounts payable increased $1.2 million.  The overall
cash position increased $2.3 million, totaling $9.8 million at
October 3, 1999 compared to $7.5 million at January 3, 1999.

     Capital investment for the nine-month period of $15.8 million
is consistent with the planned annual expenditures of $21.5 for 1999.
Capital investment during this same period in 1998 was $11.9 million.

     The Company uses collateralized lines of credit for funding
purposes in the United States.  Currently, the outstanding  balances
from available lines of credit are $16.6 million, with $2.0 million


<PAGE>
available in additional borrowings.  The Company's foreign
subsidiaries have outstanding balances from available lines of credit
amounting to $3.1 million with available unused lines of  credit
amounting to $1.9 million, which expire upon demand. The Company
believes that cash provided by  operations will provide sufficient
liquidity to meet its funding requirements.

                   PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The formation of Raytech and the implementation of the
restructuring plan more fully described in Item 1 above was for
the purpose of providing a means to acquire and operate
businesses in a corporate structure that would not be subject to
any asbestos-related or other liabilities of Raymark.

        Prior to the formation of Raytech, Raymark had been
named as a defendant in more than 88,000 lawsuits, claiming
substantial damages for injury or death from exposure to airborne
asbestos fibers.  Subsequent to the divestiture of Raymark in
1988, lawsuits continued to be filed against Raymark at the rate
of approximately 1,000 per month until an involuntary petition in
bankruptcy was filed against Raymark in February 1989 which
stayed all its litigation.  In August 1996, the involuntary
petition filed against Raymark was dismissed following a trial
and the stay was lifted.  However, in March 1998, Raymark filed a
voluntary bankruptcy petition again staying the litigation.

        Despite the restructuring plan implementation and
subsequent divestiture of Raymark, Raytech was named a co-defendant
with Raymark and other named defendants in approximately 3,300
asbestos-related lawsuits as a successor in liability to Raymark.
Until February 1989, the defense of all such lawsuits was provided
to Raytech by Raymark in accordance with the indemnification
agreement included as a condition of the purchase of the Wet Clutch
and Brake Division and German subsidiary from Raymark in 1987.
However, subsequent to the involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
against Raymark, a restrictive insurance funding order was issued by
an Illinois Court, denying defense costs, and another Raymark
insurance carrier had been declared insolvent.  These circumstances
caused Raymark to be unable to fund the costs of defense to Raytech
in the asbestos-related lawsuits referenced above. Raytech
management was informed that Raymark's cost of defense and
disposition of cases up to the automatic stay of litigation in 1989
under the involuntary bankruptcy proceedings was approximately $333
million of Raymark's total insurance coverage of approximately $395
million.  It has also been informed that as a result of the
dismissal of the involuntary petition, Raymark encountered newly
filed asbestos-related lawsuits but had received $27 million from a
state guarantee association to make up the insurance policies of the
insolvent carrier and had $32 million in other policies to defend
against such litigation.  In March 1998, Raymark filed a voluntary
bankruptcy petition as a result of several large asbestos-related
judgments against it.


<PAGE>
        In October 1988, in a case captioned Raymond A. Schmoll v.
ACandS, Inc., et al., the U.S. District Court for the District of
Oregon ruled, under Oregon equity law, Raytech to be a successor to
Raymark's asbestos-related liability.  In this case the liability
was negotiated to settlement for a negligible amount.  The successor
decision was appealed, and in October 1992, the Ninth Circuit Court
of Appeals affirmed the District Court's judgment on the grounds
stated in the District Court's opinion.  The effect of this decision
extends beyond the Oregon District due to a Third Circuit Court of
Appeals decision in a related case cited below wherein Raytech was
collaterally estopped (precluded) from relitigating the issue of its
successor liability for Raymark's asbestos-related liabilities.

        As the result of the inability of Raymark to fund Raytech's
cost of defense recited above, and in order to obtain a ruling
binding across all jurisdictions on whether Raytech is liable as a
successor for asbestos-related and other claims including claims yet
to be filed relating to the operations of Raymark or Raymark's
predecessors, on March 10, 1989 Raytech filed a petition seeking
relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11, United States Code in the
United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Connecticut.  Under
Chapter 11, substantially all litigation against Raytech has been
stayed while the debtor corporation and its non-filing operating
subsidiaries continue to operate their businesses in the ordinary
course under the same management and without disruption to
employees, customers or suppliers.  In the Bankruptcy Court a
creditors' committee was appointed, comprised primarily of asbestos
claimants' attorneys.  In August 1995, an official committee of
equity security holders was appointed relating to a determination of
equity security holders' interest in the bankruptcy estate.

        In June 1989 Raytech filed a class action in the Bankruptcy
Court captioned Raytech v. Earl White, et al. against all present
and future asbestos claimants seeking a declaratory judgment that it
not be held liable for the asbestos-related liabilities of Raymark.
It was the intent of Raytech to have this case heard in the U.S.
District Court, and since the authority of the Bankruptcy Court is
referred from the U.S. District Court, upon its motion and argument
the U.S. District Court withdrew its reference of the case to the
Bankruptcy Court and thereby agreed to hear and decide the case.  In
September 1991, the U.S. District Court issued a ruling dismissing
one count of the class action citing as a reason the preclusive
effect of the 1988 Schmoll case recited above under the doctrine of
collateral estoppel (conclusiveness of judgment in a prior action),
in which Raytech was ruled to be a successor to Raymark's asbestos
liability under Oregon law.  The remaining counts before the U.S.
District Court involve the transfer of Raymark's asbestos-related
liabilities to Raytech on the legal theories of alter-ego and
fraudulent conveyance.  Upon a motion for reconsideration, the U.S.
District Court affirmed its prior ruling in February 1992.  Also, in
February 1992, the U.S. District Court transferred the case in its
entirety to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania.  Such transfer was made by the U.S. District Court

<PAGE>
without motion from any party in the interest of the administration
of justice as stated by the U.S. District Court.  In December 1992,
Raytech filed a motion to activate the case and to obtain rulings on
the remaining counts which was denied by the U.S. District Court.
In October 1993, the creditors' committee asked the Court to certify
the previous dismissal of the successor liability count.  In
February 1994, the U.S. District Court granted the motion to certify
and the successor liability dismissal was accordingly appealed.  In
May 1995, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Raytech is
collaterally estopped (precluded) from relitigating the issue of its
successor liability as ruled in the 1988 Oregon case recited above,
affirming the U.S. District Court's ruling of dismissal.  A petition
for a writ of certiorari was denied by the U.S. Supreme Court in
October 1995.  The ruling leaves the Oregon case, as affirmed by the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, as the prevailing decision holding
Raytech to be a successor to Raymark's asbestos-related liabilities.

        Since the bankruptcy filing, several entities have asserted
claims in Bankruptcy Court alleging environmental liabilities of
Raymark based upon similar theories of successor liability against
Raytech as alleged by asbestos claimants.  These claims are not
covered by the class action referenced above and will be resolved in
the bankruptcy case.  The environmental claims include a claim of
the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources ("DER") to
perform certain activities in connection with Raymark's Pennsylvania
manufacturing facility, which includes submission of an acceptable
closure plan for a landfill containing hazardous waste products
located at the facility and removal of accumulated baghouse dust
from its operations.  In March 1991, the Company entered a Consent
Order which required Raymark to submit a revised closure plan which
provides for the management and removal of hazardous waste, for
investigating, treating and monitoring of any contaminated
groundwater and for the protection of human health and environment
at the site, all relating to the closure of the Pennsylvania
landfill and to pay a nominal civil penalty.  The estimated cost for
Raymark to comply with the order is $1.2 million.  The DER has
reserved its right to reinstitute an action against the Company and
the other parties to the DER order in the event Raymark fails to
comply with its obligations under the Consent Order.  Another
environmental claim was filed against the Company by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency for civil penalties charged Raymark
in the amount of $12 million arising out of alleged Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act violations at Raymark's Stratford,
Connecticut, manufacturing facility.

        In January 1997, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
("EPA") and the State of Connecticut filed suit against Raymark
claiming damages for cleanup of the Stratford, Connecticut, site in
an amended amount of $300 million.  The EPA and the State of
Connecticut have also filed bankruptcy claims against Raytech as a
successor to Raymark for cleanup of the Stratford site and other
Raymark sites totaling $330 million.  Determination of Raytech's

<PAGE>
liability for such claims is subject to Bankruptcy Court
deliberations and proceedings.

        Under bankruptcy rules, the debtor-in-possession has an
exclusive period in which to file a reorganization plan.  Such
exclusive period had been extended by the Bankruptcy Court pending
the conclusion of the successor liability litigation.  However, in
December 1992, the creditors' committee filed a motion to terminate
the exclusive period to file a plan of reorganization.  At a hearing
in May 1993, the motion was denied by the Bankruptcy Court but was
appealed by the creditors' committee.  In November 1993, the U.S.
District Court reversed the Bankruptcy Court and terminated the
exclusive period to file a plan of reorganization effective in
January 1994.  Accordingly, any party in interest, including the
debtor, the creditors' committee or a creditor could thereafter file
a plan of reorganization.

        In May 1994, Raytech filed a Plan of Reorganization
("Debtor's Plan") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the purpose of
seeking confirmation allowing Raytech to emerge from the bankruptcy
filed March 10, 1989.  In September 1994, the creditors' committee
filed its own Plan of Reorganization in competition to the Debtor's
Plan ("Creditors' Plan").  Upon motion of the parties and support of
the Bankruptcy Court, the major interested parties agreed in August
1995 to participate in non-binding mediation to attempt to
effectuate a consensual plan of reorganization.  The mediation
process commenced in October 1995 and was concluded in March 1996
without agreement for a consensual plan of reorganization.  The
competing plans of Raytech and its creditors then returned to
Bankruptcy Court procedures.  As the result of the Memorandum of
Understanding between the Debtor and its Creditors referenced
hereafter, a consensual plan of reorganization has been drafted and
is circulating among the parties for review and approval.

        In February 1997, Raytech resumed making monthly payments
of $650,000 to Raymark pursuant to the 1987 Asset Purchase Agreement
as amended.  In November 1997, the creditors' committee filed an
adversary proceeding complaint and motion for a temporary
restraining order to halt the payments.  In January 1998, the
Bankruptcy Court stopped the payments pending a trial.  Raymark
notified its retirees by letter that their benefits would cease
after February 1998 due to the effect of the cessation of payments
from Raytech under the injunction.  Raymark retirees intervened in
the action; however, Raymark continued to fund their benefits.  Upon
motion, the Raymark retirees have been permitted to form a committee
in the Raytech bankruptcy, but any rights to the Raytech estate
remain subject to the Court's judicial determination.  In March
1999, the creditors' committee of retirees filed an adversary
proceeding against Raytech, seeking a declaratory judgment holding
Raytech liable for employee welfare benefits due Raymark retirees,
including medical, life and supplemental pension benefits.  In April
1999, a separate adversary proceeding was filed by Raytech against
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, seeking a declaratory


<PAGE>
judgment holding Raytech not liable for Raymark pension liabilities.
Both matters are pending in the Bankruptcy Court and discovery
procedures in the litigation are underway.

        Following Raytech's cessation of monthly $650,000 note
payments to Raymark in December 1997, Raymark commenced 33 separate
lawsuits against Raytech subsidiaries in various jurisdictions from
New York to California ("Raymark Litigation") demanding payment or
the return of assets for breach of contract.  Raytech filed an
adversary proceeding complaint to halt the Raymark litigation and
was granted a temporary restraining order in December 1997 by the
Bankruptcy Court that remains in effect.  The creditors' committee
intervened in the action in support of the restraining order.

        In March and April 1998, Raymark and its parent, Raymark
Corporation, filed voluntary petitions in bankruptcy in a Utah Court
which stayed all litigation in the Raytech bankruptcy in which
Raymark was a party.  In connection with its attempt to assert
control over Raymark and its assets, the creditors' committee,
joined by Raytech, the Guardian Ad Litem for future claimants, the
equity committee and the government agencies moved to have the venue
of the Raymark bankruptcies transferred from Utah to the Connecticut
Court.  In July 1998, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order on the
motions and transferred venue to the Connecticut Court.  Raymark
filed an appeal of the order but has since withdrawn the appeal.  In
October 1998, a trustee was appointed by the United States Trustee
over the Raymark bankruptcies.  The Trustee is currently
administering the Raymark estate.

        In April 1999 adversary actions were filed in the
Bankruptcy Court seeking judgments that retirees and pensioners of
Raymark have rights as claimants for their benefits in the Raytech
bankruptcy estate on the basis of successor liability.  The matters
are pending and hearings are expected in the Bankruptcy Court by
December 1999.

        In October, 1998 Raytech reached a tentative settlement
with its creditors and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
with respect to achieving a consensual plan of reorganization (the
"Plan").  The parties to the settlement include Raytech, the
Official Creditors Committee, the Guardian ad litem for Future
Claimants, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection
and the U. S. Department of Justice, Environmental and Natural
Resources Division.  Substantive economic terms of the Memorandum of
Understanding provide for all general unsecured creditors including
but not limited to all asbestos and environmental claimants to
receive, through a trust established under The Bankruptcy Code, 90%
of the equity in a company to be reorganized ("Reorganized Raytech")
and any and all refunds of taxes paid or net reductions in taxes
owing resulting from the transfer of equity to the trust, and
existing equity holders in Raytech to receive 10% of the equity in
Reorganized Raytech.  Substantive non-economic terms of the
Memorandum of Understanding provide for the parties to jointly work

<PAGE>
to achieve a consensual Plan, to determine an appropriate approach
to related pension and employee benefit plans and to cease
activities that have generated adverse proceedings in the Bankruptcy
Court.  The parties have also agreed to jointly request a finding in
the confirmation order to the effect that while Raytech's
liabilities appear to exceed the reasonable value of its assets, the
allocation of 10% of the equity to existing equity holders is fair
and equitable by virtue of the benefit to the estate of resolving
complicated issues without further costly and burdensome litigation
and the risks attendant therewith and the economic benefits of
emerging from bankruptcy without further delay.  The Plan has been
drafted and is under review and upon approval will be submitted to
the Court.  A bar date for claims was established in August 1999 and
claims filed are being analyzed for validity.

        In April 1996, the Indiana Department of Environmental
Management ("IDEM") advised Raybestos Products Company ("RPC"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, that it may have contributed
to the release of lead and PCB's (polychlorinated biphenyls) found
in small waterways near its Indiana facility.  In June, IDEM named
RPC as a potentially responsible party ("PRP").  RPC notified its
insurers of the IDEM action and one insurer responded by filing a
complaint in January 1997 in the U.S. District Court, Southern
District of Indiana, captioned Reliance Insurance Company vs. RPC
seeking a declaratory judgment that any liability of RPC is excluded
from its policy with RPC.  A motion for summary judgment has been
filed and is pending before the District Court.  RPC continues to
assess the extent of the contamination and its involvement and is
currently negotiating with IDEM for an agreed order of cleanup.  The
Company intends to offset its investigation and cleanup costs
against its notes payable to Raymark when such costs become known
pursuant to the indemnification clause in the wet clutch and brake
acquisition agreement since it appears that any source of
contamination would have occurred during Raymark's ownership of the
Indiana facility.  During the nine months ended October 3, 1999, the
Company offset $2.6 million in costs against the notes payable to
Raymark.  Blood tests administered to residents in the vicinity of
the small waterways revealed no exposure.

        As a result of an inspection, the Company was notified that
the operations purchased from Advanced Friction Materials Company
("AFM") in January 1996 in Sterling Heights, Michigan, were in
violation of a consent order issued by the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality ("DEQ").  The consent order included a
compliance program providing for measures to be taken to bring
certain operations into compliance and record keeping on operations
in compliance.  Potential fines for the violations were substantial
but negotiations with the DEQ resulted in an agreement finalized in
September 1998 providing for a consent judgment with a fine of $324.

        In December 1998, a subsidiary of the Company filed a
complaint against a former administrative financial manager of AFM
captioned Raytech Composites, Inc. vs. Richard Hartwick, et ux.

<PAGE>
alleging that he wrongfully converted Company monies in his control
to his own use and benefit in an amount greater than $3,000 prior to
the April 1998 completion of the acquisition of AFM as discussed in
the following paragraph.  The suit is being litigated in the U.S.
District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, seeking damages in the
amount wrongfully converted, plus other damages, interest, costs and
attorney fees.  Discovery is continuing, and a motion for a summary
judgment has been filed and is pending before the District Court.  A
constructive trust has been ordered by the Court providing ownership
of four real estate properties, previously held by a former
administrative financial manager, to the Company.  The ultimate
realizable value of the properties is uncertain.  The Company will
record proceeds received from the sale of the properties as a
reduction of good will resulting from the AFM acquisition.  In
October, one property has been sold and efforts to sell the others
are pending.

        In April 1998, AFM redeemed 53% of its stock from the
former owner for a formulated amount of $6,044, $3,022 paid at
closing and the balance of $3,022 payable by note in three equal
annual installments resulting in the Company attaining 100%
ownership of AFM.  In April 1999, an adversary proceeding was filed
in the Connecticut Bankruptcy Court against the former owner
captioned Raytech Corporation, et al. vs. Oscar E. Stefanutti, et
al. to recover $1,500 of the amount paid for the AFM stock and to
obtain a declaratory judgment that the balance of $3,022 is not owed
based upon allegations that a fraud was perpetrated upon the Company
related to the Hartwick case referenced above.  In September 1999,
the Bankruptcy Court granted jurisdiction of the case but exercised
discretionary abstention to enable the Court to focus on issues
impeding the plan confirmation.  In June 1999, the former owner
filed an action against the Company in a County Court in Michigan
captioned Oscar E. Stefanutti, et al. vs. Raytech Automotive
Components Company to enforce payment of the note.  The matter was
stayed pending the Bankruptcy Court's decision.  The case will now
be tried in the Michigan County Court.  An answer has been filed and
discovery will begin soon.

        In January 1997, Raytech was named through a subsidiary
in a third party complaint captioned Martin Dembinski, et al. vs.
Farrell Lines, Inc., et al. vs. American Stevedoring, Ltd., et
al. filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
New York for damages for asbestos-related disease.  The case has
been removed to the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of
Pennsylvania.  When required, the Company will seek an injunction
in the Bankruptcy Court to halt the litigation.

        In December 1998, the trustee of Raymark, Raytech and
the Raytech creditors' committee joined in filing an adversary
proceeding (complaint) against Craig R. Smith, et al. (including
relatives, business associates and controlled corporations)
alleging a systematic stripping of assets belonging to Raymark in
an elaborate and ongoing scheme perpetrated by the defendants.

<PAGE>
The alleged fraudulent scheme extended back to the 1980's and
continued up to this action and has enriched the Smith family by
an estimated $12 million and has greatly profited their
associates, while depriving Raymark and its creditors of nearly
all of its assets amounting to more than $27 million.  Upon
motion of the plaintiffs, the Bankruptcy Court issued a temporary
restraining order stopping Mr. Smith and all defendants from
dissipating, conveying, encumbering or otherwise disposing of any
assets, which order has been amended several times and remains in
effect pending a preliminary injunction hearing.  The reference
to the Bankruptcy Court has been withdrawn, and the matter is now
being litigated in the U.S. District Court in Connecticut.
Discovery procedures are continuing and a motion for a summary
judgment has been filed by the plaintiffs and is pending before
the District Court.  Judgment on the motion is expected in
November 1999.

        Costs incurred by the Company for asbestos related
liabilities are subject to indemnification by Raymark under the
1987 acquisition agreements.  By agreement, in the past, Raymark
has reimbursed the Company in part for such indemnified costs by
payment of the amounts due in Raytech common stock of equivalent
value.  Under such agreement, Raytech received 926,821 shares in
1989, 177,570 shares in 1990, 163,303 in 1991 and 80,000 shares
in 1993.  The Company's acceptance of its own stock was based
upon an intent to control dilution of its outstanding stock.  In
1992, the indemnified costs were reimbursed by offsetting certain
payments due Raymark from the Company under the 1987 acquisition
agreements.  Costs incurred in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998
were applied as a reduction of the note obligations pursuant to
the agreements.

        The adverse ruling in the Third Circuit Court of
Appeals, of which a petition for writ of certiorari was denied by
the U.S. Supreme Court, precluding Raytech from relitigating the
issue of its successor liability leaves the U.S. District Court's
(Oregon) 1988 ruling as the prevailing decision holding Raytech
to be a successor to Raymark's asbestos-related liabilities.
This ruling could have had a material adverse impact on Raytech
as it did not have the resources needed to fund Raymark's
potentially substantial uninsured asbestos-related and
environmental liabilities.  However, the tentative settlement
between Raytech and its creditors as recited in the Memorandum of
Understanding referenced above has defined the impact of the
successor liabilities imposed by the referenced court decisions.
While an outline of principles in the Memorandum of Understanding
has been agreed to by Raytech and its creditors, a consensual
plan of reorganization must still be written and agreed to by the
parties of interest in the bankruptcy and is subject to review
and confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court, which at this time
cannot be predicted with certainty.  Should the Memorandum of
Understanding not result in a confirmed plan of reorganization,
the ultimate liability of the Company with respect to asbestos-

<PAGE>
related, environmental, or other claims would remain
undetermined.  The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization
of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business.  The uncertainties regarding the reorganization
proceedings raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability,
revaluation and classification of recorded asset amounts or
adjustments relating to establishment, settlement and
classification of liabilities that may be required in connection
with reorganizing under the Bankruptcy Code.
