                      THE GSI GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

          The  financial  statements  have  been prepared by The GSI Group, Inc.
(the  "Company"),  without  audit,  pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information  and  footnote
disclosures  normally  included  in  financial statements prepared in accordance
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant  to  such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures  are  adequate  to  make  the  information  not  misleading.  These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and  related  notes  contained  in  the Company's December 31, 2002 Form 10-K as
filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange Commission.  Other than as indicated
herein,  there  have been no significant changes from the data presented in said
10-K.

     In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  financial  statements  contain  all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as
of March 28, 2003 and the results of operations for the three months ended March
28,  2003  and  cash  flows  for the three months ended March 28, 2003.  Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year
presentation.

     The  results  of operations for the three-month period ended March 28, 2003
are  not  necessarily  indicative  of  the  operating results for the full year.


2.     COMPREHENSIVE  LOSS

3.     NEW  ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS

     During  2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
146,  "Accounting  for  Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This
statement  provides  financial  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for costs
associated  with  exit  or  disposal activities.  This statement requires that a
liability  for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity is recognized
when  the liability is incurred and establishes that fair value is the objective
for  initial  measurement  of the liability. The Company has determined that the
adoption  of  Statement  No.  146 will have no impact on the Company's financial
condition  and  results  of  operation.

     In  November  2002,  the  Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation  No.  45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees,  Including  Indirect  Guarantees  of  Indebtedness of Others."  This
interpretation  addresses  the  disclosures  to  be  made  by a guarantor in its
interim  and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees.
This  interpretation  also clarifies the requirements related to the recognition
of  a  liability  by  a  guarantor  at  the  inception  of  a  guarantee for the
obligations the guarantor has undertaken in issuing that guarantee.  The Company
had  determined  FASB  Interpretation  No.  45  has  no  impact on the Company's
financial  condition  and  results  of operation at this time.  If the Company's
guarantee with FarmPro falls under FASB Interpretation No. 45, the Company would
be  required  to  record a liability for the fair market value of the guarantee.

     In  January  2003,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation  No.  46,  "Consolidation  of  Variable Interest Entities."  This
interpretation clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
"Consolidated  Financial  Statements,"  to  certain  entities  in  which  equity
investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or
do  not  have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities
without  additional  subordinated  financial  support  from  other parties.  The
Company  has  determined  FASB  Interpretation No. 46 will have no impact on the
Company's  financial  condition  and  results  of  operation.

5.   SUPPLEMENTAL  CASH  FLOW  INFORMATION

     The  Company  paid  approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million in interest
during  the quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002, respectively.  The
Company  paid  no  income  taxes  during  the  first  quarters of 2003 and 2002.


6.     LONG-TERM  DEBT

     The  indenture  governing  the Company's senior subordinated notes contains
certain  restrictive  covenants.  The more significant of the covenants restrict
the  ability of the Company to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness,
pay  dividends  or make distributions and other payments affecting subsidiaries.
The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the indenture as of March
28,  2003.

          On  April  30, 2003, LaSalle Bank National Association and the Company
amended  the  existing  credit  facility  (the "Credit Facility") to provide for
revolving  loans  up to a maximum of $47.0 million (limited based on a borrowing
base  which  includes  accounts receivable and inventory), as well as changes in
certain  covenants.  The  Credit  Facility  requires  the  Company  to  maintain
quarterly EBITDA and fixed charge coverage ratio covenants, as well as an annual
senior debt to EBITDA ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, tangible net worth and
certain  levels  of  EBITDA  and  capital  expenditures.  The  Company  was  in
compliance  with or obtained waivers for all covenants under the Credit Facility
as  of  March  28,  2003.  In  addition, the Credit Facility provides for a $5.0
million  borrowing  base  over-advance  from  May  1, 2003 through and including
September  30,  2003.  The  Credit  Facility  expires  on  July  25,  2004.


7.     COMMITMENTS  AND  CONTINGENCIES

     Sales  of  agricultural  equipment are seasonal, with farmers traditionally
purchasing  grain  storage  bins  and grain drying and handling equipment in the
summer and fall in conjunction with the harvesting season, and swine and poultry
producers  purchasing equipment during prime construction periods in the spring,
summer  and  fall.  The  Company's  sales  and net income have historically been
lower  during the first and fourth fiscal quarters as compared to the second and
third  quarters.

     The  Company  has  a  contract  with the Syrian government and one with the
Yemen  Company  for  Industrial  Development  to  manufacture  and supervise the
assembly  of  grain  handling  systems.  Other  current  assets and other assets
include  $2.8 million of retainage withheld until completion of the projects and
the  meeting  of  certain  performance  criteria.

     The  Company  has an operating lease agreement that requires the Company to
maintain  a  certain senior debt to EBITDA ratio, tangible net worth and certain
levels  of  capital expenditures and EBITDA.  The Company was in compliance with
these  covenants  under  the  operating  lease  agreement  as of March 28, 2003.
Certain  lease  agreements  are  collateralized  by  a  letter of credit of $1.5
million  that  expires  on  October  15,  2003.

     During April of 2003, the Company declared and paid a $0.54 dividend on all
issued  and  outstanding  shares  of  common  stock.

8.   BUSINESS  SEGMENT

     The  Company  has  no  separately  reportable  segments  in accordance with
Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosure About
Segments  of  an Enterprise and Related Information."  Under the enterprise wide
disclosure  requirements  of SFAS 131, the Company reports sales by each product
line.  Amounts for the first quarters of 2003 and 2002 are as shown in the table
below  (in  thousands).

     For  the first quarters of 2003 and 2002, sales in Brazil were $3.6 million
and  $5.7  million, respectively.  Long-lived assets in Brazil were $2.2 million
at  March  28,  2003.


9.     GUARANTOR  SUBSIDIARIES

     The  Company's  payment  obligation under the senior subordinated notes are
fully  and  unconditionally  guaranteed  on  a  joint and several basis by David
Manufacturing  Company,  GSI/Cumberland  de  Mexico  S. de R.L. de C.V., The GSI
Group  (Europe)  Ltd.,  The GSI Group (Africa) (Pty) Ltd., GSI Group (Asia) Sdn.
Bhd.,  Agromarau  Industria e Comercio Ltda., The GSI Group (Shanghai) Ltd., and
The  GSI  Group  (Canada)  Inc.  (the  "Guarantor Subsidiaries").  The Guarantor
Subsidiaries  are  direct  wholly  owned  subsidiaries  of  the  Company.  The
obligations  of  the  Guarantor  Subsidiaries  under  their  guarantees  are
subordinated  to  such  subsidiaries'  obligations  under their guarantee of the
Credit  Facility.

     Presented  below is unaudited condensed consolidating financial information
for  The  GSI Group, Inc. ("Parent Company") and the Guarantor Subsidiaries.  In
the  Company's  opinion,  separate  financial  statements  and other disclosures
concerning  the  Guarantor Subsidiaries would not provide additional information
that  is  material  to  investors.

     Investments  in  subsidiaries are accounted for by the Parent Company using
the  equity  method  of  accounting.  Earnings  of  subsidiaries are, therefore,
reflected  in  the  Parent  Company's  investments  in  and  advances  to/from
subsidiaries'  accounts  and  earnings.  The  elimination  entries  eliminate
investments  in  subsidiaries  and  intercompany  balances  and  transactions.

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

     The  following  discussion  of  the  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations  of  the  Company should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial  Statements  and  the  notes  included  in  Item  1  hereof.

GENERAL

     The  Company  is  a  leading  manufacturer  and  supplier  of  agricultural
equipment  and  services  worldwide.  The  Company's  grain,  swine  and poultry
products  are  used  by  producers  and purchasers of grain, and by producers of
swine  and  poultry. Fluctuations in grain and feed prices directly impact sales
of  the  Company's  grain equipment. Because the primary cost of producing swine
and  poultry  is the cost of the feed grain consumed by animals, fluctuations in
the  supply and cost of grain to users of the Company's products in the past has
impacted  sales  of  the  Company's  swine  and  poultry  equipment. The Company
believes,  however,  that its diversified product offerings mitigate some of the
effects  of  fluctuations  in  the  price  of  grain  since the demand for grain
storage,  drying  and  handling  equipment  tends  to increase during periods of
higher  grain prices, which somewhat offsets the reduction in demand during such
periods  for  the  Company's  products  by  producers  of  swine  and  poultry.

     Sales  of  agricultural  equipment are seasonal, with farmers traditionally
purchasing  grain  storage  bins  and grain drying and handling equipment in the
summer and fall in conjunction with the harvesting season, and swine and poultry
producers  purchasing equipment during prime construction periods in the spring,
summer  and fall.  The Company's net sales and net income have historically been
lower  during the first and fourth fiscal quarters as compared to the second and
third  quarters.

     Although  the Company's sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars and
are  not  generally  affected by currency fluctuations (except for the Company's
Brazilian  operations),  the  production  costs,  profit margins and competitive
position of the Company are affected by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative
to  the  strength  of  the  currencies in countries where its products are sold.

     The Company's international sales have historically comprised a significant
portion  of  net  sales.  In  the first quarters of 2003 and 2002, the Company's
international  sales  accounted  for  26%  and  29%  of net sales, respectively.
International  operations  generally  are  subject to various risks that are not
present  in  domestic  operations,  including  restrictions  on  dividends,
restrictions  on  repatriation of funds, unexpected changes in tariffs and other
trade  barriers,  difficulties  in  staffing  and  managing  foreign operations,
political  instability,  fluctuations  in  currency  exchange  rates,  reduced
protection  for  intellectual  property  rights  in  some  countries,  seasonal
reductions in business activity and potentially adverse tax consequences, any of
which  could  adversely  impact  the  Company's  international  operations.

     The  primary  raw materials used by the Company to manufacture its products
are  steel and polymers.  Fluctuations in the prices and availability of vendors
for  steel  and,  to a lesser extent, polymer materials can impact the Company's
cost  of  sales.

     The  Company  currently  operates  as  a  subchapter  S  corporation  and,
accordingly, is not subject to federal income taxation for the periods for which
financial  information  has  been  presented  herein.  Because  the  Company's
stockholders  are  subject  to tax liabilities based on their pro rata shares of
the  Company's income, the Company's policy is to make periodic distributions to
its  stockholders  in  amounts  equal  to  such  tax  liabilities.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Three  Months Ended March 28, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended March 29, 2002

     Sales decreased 16.3% or $8.6 million to $44.3 million in the first quarter
of  2003  compared to $52.9 million in the first quarter of 2002.  This decrease
was  driven  by  decreased demand for essentially all of the Company's products.

     Gross  profit  decreased  to  $9.2  million in the first quarter of 2003 or
20.7%  of sales from $11.7 million or 22.1% of sales in the same period of 2002.
This  decrease was a result of decreased sales.  The decrease in gross profit as
a  percent of sales was primarily the result of costs associated with re-tooling
facilities  to  a  cellular  manufacturing  approach.
                                       15

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2.4% or $0.2 million
to  $8.9  million  in  the  first  quarter of 2003 from $9.1 million in the same
period of 2002. This decrease was primarily the result of cost cutting measures.

     Operating  income  decreased  89.3% to $0.3 million in the first quarter of
2003  from  $2.6  million  in  the  first  quarter  of  2002.  This decrease was
attributable  to  the  decrease  in  gross  profit.

     Interest  expense  decreased  $0.1  million in the first quarter of 2003 as
compared  to  the  first  quarter  of  2002  due  to  lower  borrowing  costs.

     Net  loss  increased  $1.8  million to a loss of $2.7 million for the first
quarter  of  2003  from  a  loss  of  $0.9  million  in the same period of 2002.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

     The  Company  has historically funded capital expenditures, working capital
requirements,  debt  service,  stockholder  dividends and stock repurchases from
cash flow from its operations, augmented by borrowings made under various credit
agreements  and  the  sale  of  the  Company's  10  % senior subordinated notes.

     As  of  March 28, 2003, the Company had $65.0 million of working capital, a
decrease  of  $2.3  million  from  working capital as of December 31, 2002.  The
decrease  in working capital was primarily due to increases in accrued expenses,
customer  deposits  and  accounts  payable  of $7.9 million, partially offset by
increases  in  accounts  receivable  and  inventory  of  $5.1  million.

     Operating activities provided $0.0 million and $0.1 million in cash flow in
the  first  quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively.  This $0.1 million decrease
in  cash  flow  was  primarily  the  result of an increase in net loss, accounts
receivable,  inventory,  and  other  current  assets  of $5.2 million, partially
offset  by  a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits,
depreciation  and  amortization and gain on sale of fixed assets of $5.3 million
compared  to  the  first  quarter  of  2002.

     Investing activities used $0.6 million and $0.0 million in cash flow in the
first  quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively.  The cash was used primarily for
machinery  and  equipment  purchases.  The $0.6 million increase in cash used in
investing  activities  was partially a result of fewer proceeds from the sale of
fixed  assets  in  2003  compared  to  2002.

     Financing activities used $0.9 million and $0.0 million in cash flow in the
first  quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively.  The cash was used primarily for
payments  on  long-term  debt.

     The  Company  believes  that  existing  cash, cash flow from operations and
available borrowings under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to support its
working  capital,  capital  expenditures  and  debt service requirements for the
foreseeable  future.

INFLATION

     The  Company  believes  that inflation has not had a material effect on its
results  of  operations  or  financial  condition  during  recent  periods.

CRITICAL  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

     There  are  no  material  changes to the critical accounting policies since
December  31,  2002.

FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS

     Certain  statements  contained  in  this  report  are  "forward-looking
statements"  within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as

ITEM  3.  QUANTITATIVE  AND  QUALITATIVE  DISCLOSURES  ABOUT  MARKET  RISK

     The  Company  is  subject to market risk associated with adverse changes in
interest  rates  and foreign currency exchange rates.  The Company does not hold
any  market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.  At March 28, 2003,
principal exposed to interest rate risk was limited to $41.5 million in variable
rate  debt.  The  Company  measures its interest rate risk by estimating the net
amount  by which potential future net earnings would be impacted by hypothetical
changes  in  market interest rates related to all interest rate sensitive assets
and liabilities.  A 1% change in interest rates would have a $0.4 million impact
on  the  Company's  results  of  operations.

     At  March  28,  2003,  approximately  17.4%  of  sales  were  derived  from
international  operations  with exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk.
The  Company  mitigates  its  foreign currency exchange rate risk principally by
establishing  local  production  facilities  in  the  markets  it  serves and by
invoicing  customers  in  the  same currency as the source of the products.  The
Company  also  monitors  its  foreign  currency  exposure  in  each  country and
implements  strategies  to  respond  to  changing  economic  and  political
environments.  The  Company's  exposure  to  foreign currency exchange rate risk
relates primarily to the financial position and the results of operations of its
Brazilian  subsidiary.  The  Company's exposure to such exchange rate risk as it
relates  to  the Company's financial position and results of operations would be
adversely impacted by further devaluation of the Brazilian Real per U.S. dollar.
These  amounts  are  difficult to accurately estimate due to factors such as the
inherent  fluctuation  of inter-company account balances, balance sheet accounts
and  the  existing  economic  uncertainty  and future economic conditions in the
international  marketplace.


ITEM  4.  CONTROLS  AND  PROCEDURES

     Based  on an evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
performed  by the Company's management within 90 days of the filing date of this
annual report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
believe  that  the Company has appropriate disclosure controls and procedures to
ensure  that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic
reports  is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified  in  the  rules  and  forms  of  the  Securities  Exchange Commission.

     Since  the  date of such evaluation, there have been no significant changes
in  the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect  these  controls,  including  any  corrective  actions  with  regard  to
significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses.

4.  The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers  and  I  are  responsible for
establishing  and  maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange  Act  Rules  13a-14  and  15d-14)  for  the  registrant  and  we  have:

a)  designed  such  disclosure  controls  and procedures to ensure that material
information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
is  made  known  to  us by others within those entities, particularly during the
period  in  which  this  quarterly  report  is  being  prepared;

b)  evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  the  registrant's disclosure controls and
procedures  as  of  a  date  within  90  days  prior  to the filing date of this

the  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  based  on  our  evaluation as of the
Evaluation  Date;

5.  The  registrant's  other  certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on
our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee
of  registrant's  board  of  directors  (or  persons  performing  the equivalent
function):

a)  all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls
which  could  adversely  affect  the  registrant's  ability  to record, process,
summarize  and  report  financial  data and have identified for the registrant's
auditors  any  material  weaknesses  in  internal  controls;  and

b)  any  fraud,  whether  or  not  material,  that  involves management or other
employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal controls; and

6.  The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers  and I have indicated in this
quarterly  report  whether  or  not  there  were significant changes in internal
controls  or  in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent  to  the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective
actions  with  regard  to  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses.
