                                 PART I

Item 1.  Business.

(a)  General Development of Business-

Vulcan International Corporation ("Vulcan", the "Company" or the "Registant")
is a Delaware holding company which is the owner of 100% of the common stock
of Vulcan Corporation, a manufacturer of the products described below.

(b)  Financial Information About Industry Segments-

The sales, operating profit and identifiable assets attributable to each of
the Registrant's industry segments for the three years ended December 31,
2000, are set forth in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included under Part IV, Item 14(a)1 of this Form 10-K.

(c)  Narrative Description of Business-


RUBBER AND PLASTICS:

RUBBER AND FOAM PRODUCTS-

Vulcan manufactures rubber and foam products in a 272,000 sq. ft. building
located in Clarksville, Tennessee.  Approximately 33% of sales of those
products in 2000 were for use by shoe manufacturers in the United States.
The Company is concentrating on the manufacture of rubber sheet stock and
custom-mix materials for those manufacturers.  The majority of the non-
footwear sales of products manufactured in Clarksville were for use as
sports flooring and automobile mats.  The Rubber Division also manufactures
high-density foam products for sale to manufacturers for diverse uses.

PLASTICS-

Vulcan sold its plastics manufacturing assets in August 1999.  Vulcan had
produced plastic products and shoe lasts in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas.  A shoe
last is the form over which non-rubber shoes are manufactured and which
determines the shoe style, fit and shape.

BOWLING PINS-

In 1990, the Company entered into an agreement with Brunswick Bowling and
Billiards Corporation by the terms of which Vulcan and Brunswick formed a
joint venture for the manufacture of bowling pins using Vulcan's Surlyn
coating process.  The Joint Venture, which is equally owned by Brunswick and
Vulcan Bowling Pin Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vulcan, is located
at the site of the Company's former Antigo, Wisconsin, bowling pin
manufacturing facility.  This manufacturing Joint Venture is named the
Vulcan-Brunswick Bowling Pin Company.  The Company accounts for its
investment in the Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting.

                                  (Continued)

Item 1.  Business.  (Continued)

Vulcan Bowling Pin Company sells and services its bowling pins through its
own sales force as well as manufacturers' representatives in the United
States and through distributors in foreign countries under the name of Vultex
II and Vultuf, as well as various private label names.  In 1999, Vulcan
Brunswick Bowling Pin Co. entered into an agreement with Winsome Industrial
Company, Ltd. located in Taiwan, pursuant to which it purchases bowling pins
manufactured by Winsome in Taiwan bearing the name Vultuf.  These pins are
sold solely outside of the United States.

Raw materials used in shoe products and bowling products consist of the
following:  hard maple, which is commercially available from countless
sawmills; Surlyn is available from Dupont; high density polyethylene plastic
resin is available from Phillips, Quantum, Gulf, A. Schulman, Inc. and
numerous other producers; nylon is available from Allied; synthetic rubbers
are available from Ameripol Synpol, Goodyear, Polysar, Goldsmith & Eggleston,
Inc. and a number of other concerns; fillers for rubber products such as clay
are available from W.R. Grace & Co., J.M. Huber and others; and pigments are
available from Uniroyal Chemical, Akrochem Corp., Monsanto and others.

Vulcan's products are sold through its own sales force, manufacturers' agents
and distributors.

REAL ESTATE-
Vulcan has a majority interest in the upper seven floors of the ten-story
Cincinnati Club Building in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.  These floors contain
approximately 56,000 square feet of finished office space and approximately
32,000 square feet of unfinished and common area space.  Vulcan occupies a
substantial portion of the tenth floor of the building and manages the seven
floors of office space.  The first three floors consist of public rooms owned
by a company which uses the space for public functions and a catering
service.  There is direct access into the building from an eight-story
parking garage immediately adjacent to the Cincinnati Club Building owned
and operated by the City of Cincinnati.  Vulcan Corporation also owns
undeveloped lands in Michigan from which it sells timber.

Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises and concessions are not material
factors in the business.  Vulcan Bowling Pin Company owns an American Bowling
Congress permit to label its Surlyn plastic-coated bowling pins as "ABC
approved".

No major expenditures for pollution controls are anticipated in 2001.
Expenditures thereafter should not be in excess of 5% of normal capital
expenditures in any one year.  This rate of expenditure should not have a
significant effect on either the earnings or the competitive position of the
Registrant or any of its subsidiaries.  See Item 3 - Legal Proceedings.

                              (Continued)


Item 1.  Business.  (Continued)

The Company has commitments for capital expenditures of approximately $5,400
at December 31, 2000.

(d)  Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export

The Registrant's entire operations are within the United States.  Export
sales of all products are handled by ACI International, Inc., a domestic
international sales corporation (DISC) which during 2000, had sales of
$544,000; net income of $60,000; and assets of $1,057,000.


Item 2.  Properties.

The following schedule summarizes certain information regarding buildings
owned or leased by the Registrant:

                           Type of       Square
     Location             Ownership      Footage

Clarksville, Tennessee      Owned        272,000   Administrative offices and
                                                   manufacturing of rubber
                                                   soling and other rubber
                                                   products.

Cincinnati, Ohio            Owned         88,000   Corporate offices and
                                                   leasing of office space.

The age of the buildings ranges from approximately 37 to 76 years.  The
structures are of steel, brick and concrete construction and are generally
in good condition.  The plant is sprinklered.  Excellent transportation
facilities are available for the factory and it is located on a rail siding.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

The Company was advised by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")
several years ago that it was one of at least 122 large generator potentially
responsible parties ("PRPs") with regard to remediation of the Union Chemical
Company, Inc. Site, South Hope, Maine, where the potential joint and several
liability was in the range of $15 million.  The Company, along with many
other PRPs, entered into a consent agreement with U.S. EPA to remediate the
Site, and the Company is now a party to a Remedial Design/Remedial Action
Trust Agreement for the purpose of undertaking clean-up responsibilities
at the Site.  Most of the remedial work has now been completed.  In
2000, PRPs estimated that additional funds in the range of $1 million
would be required to complete remediation of the Site.  The Company's
estimated share of that amount was approximately $5,000.  The Company

                                    -3-

<PAGE>

made payment of that amount in late 2000.  If the projected cost of
the remaining remediation tasks remains at approximately $1 million,
this will be the Company's final payment.

On March 1, 1990 the United States of America filed a Complaint against
the Registrant and others in the United States District Court for the
District of Massachusetts claiming that the Registrant was a potentially
Responsible party with respect to the Re-Solve Superfund Site in North
Dartmouth, Massachusetts seeking to recover response costs incurred and
to be incurred in the future in connection with this Site.

Although the Registrant had engaged counsel to represent it in that
action, the Registrant was first informed on March 28, 2001 that the
Court had entered, pursuant to prior rulings, an unopposed "Final
Judgment" against the Registrant on September 22, 1999.  The "Final
Judgment" awarded damages against the Registrant in favor of the
United States in the amount of $3,465,438 for unreimbursed response
costs and accrued interest, plus any additional past unreimbursed
response costs, interest and certain future costs the United States
incurs at the Site.  The United States filed a notice of lien in certain
jurisdictions on real property of the Registrant and its subsidiary Vulcan
Corporation in the dollar amount of the judgment, plus interest.

In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting
Changes, the Company has restated the December 31, 1999 financial statements
to reflect a liability of $3,601,414 including accrued interest of $135,976
for past costs plus $1,114,044 (representing a discounted present value) for
estimated future costs in connection with the Site.  The effect of the
adjustment was to decrease income from continuing operations by $4,715,458,
decrease tax expense by $1,734,511 and decrease net income by $2,980,947 or
$2.66 per share.  The 2000 quarterly results were also restated to recognize
interest on the liability and to amortize the discount for estimated future
costs.  The effect was to decrease the 2000 quarterly results $140,440, net
of tax of $72,346.

The Registrant is presently continuing an investigation into this matter
and intends to vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to set aside
all orders and liens relating to the asserted liability and to defend
itself against the underlying allegations.

There may be other potential clean-up liability at other sites of which
the Registrant has no specific knowledge.

The Company has an interest in a partnership which owns certain real
estate.  On August 13, 1999 a Complaint for money damages, in excess
of $25,000, based upon breach of fiduciary duty was filed by the other
partner in the Court of Common Pleas in Hamilton County, Ohio.
Essentially, the plaintiff is seeking an adjustment of the capital
account balances which would result in a higher distribution of cash
flow.  On March 27, 2001, the plaintiff threatened to file an Amended
Complaint that alleges damages of $1,062,000 and costs, plus punitive
damages of $2,000,000 on various grounds.  The Company believes that
the suit is without merit and has been defending itself vigorously
against the issues raised.

                              (Continued)


The Registrant and its subsidiaries are involved in other litigation matters
and claims which are normal in the course of operations.  Management believes
that the resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on the
Company's business or financial condition.



Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders through the
solicitation of proxies or otherwise during the fourth quarter of the year
ended December 31, 2000, that require disclosure under this item.



Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company's market risk primarily is represented by the risk of changes in
the value of marketable equity securities caused by fluctuations in equity
prices.  Marketable securities, at December 31, 2000, are recorded at a fair
value of approximately $98,537,000, including net unrealized gains of
$92,192,000.  Marketable securities have exposure to price risk.  The
Company's available for sale marketable securities, at fair value, are
invested as follows; 66% in two financial institutions, 33% in ten
communications companies and 1% in other industries.  The estimated
potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% decrease in
prices quoted by the stock exchange is $9,853,700.

During the year 2000, the officers and directors of Vulcan International
Corporation continued on the course of evolving Vulcan from its start as a
manufacturer of shoe lasts to a company diversified in foam and rubber
products and real estate.

During the year we were able to complete the development of a 2-lb. density
foam and the technology to produce it with consistent quality.  The 2-lb.
density foam product has a greater share of the marketplace than the higher-
density foam products which we had previously developed which constituted
almost our entire foam sales in the Year 2000.  In 2001, we are hopeful
that we will increase Rubber Division sales as a result of our foam product
development efforts.

Ongoing efforts to expand the Company's Real Estate Division have met with
disappointing results.  We continue to search for property within our area
of expertise and we anticipate that success will eventually reward those
efforts.  We will, however, continue to reject any prospective deals which
we decide are not of benefit to the Company and its shareholders.

Net income from continuing operations including net capital gains for the
12-month period ended December 31, 2000, increased to $1,761,564 from
a restated loss of $1,401,016 in 1999.  Per share earnings from
continuing operations including net capital gains rose from a restated
loss of $1.25 in 1999 to net income of $1.59 in 2000.  The 1999 results
were restated to recognize costs associated with an environmental
remediation site.  The Company had engaged legal counsel to represent it
in these matters but was not informed of a judgment against it until
March 28, 2001.  Accordingly, the Company restated its 1999 financial
statements in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20,
Accounting Changes.

We appreciate the support and efforts of all Vulcan employees in making
the difficult transition in which we are involved.

                             DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


Vulcan International Corporation is a Delaware holding company which is the
owner of 100% of the common stock of Vulcan Corporation and 100% of the
common stock of Vulcan Bowling Pin Company as well as Vulcan Blanchester
Realty Co.  Descriptions of each company's operations are set forth below.


                             RUBBER AND FOAM PRODUCTS

Vulcan manufactures rubber and foam products in a 272,000 sq. ft. building
located in Clarksville, Tennessee.  Approximately 50% of sales of those
products in 2000 were for use by shoe manufacturers in the United States.
The Company is concentrating on the manufacture of rubber sheet stock and
custom-mix materials for those manufacturers.  The majority of the non-
footwear products manufactured in Clarksville were foam for use by various
prime manufacturers, sports flooring, automobile mats and custom-mix
rubber for non-footwear manufacturers.


                                 BOWLING PINS

Vulcan Bowing Pin Company is a 50% owner of a Joint Venture with Brunswick
Bowling and Billiards Corporation which manufactures bowling pins in Antigo,
Wisconsin.  The pins are manufactured from hard maple and coated with Surlyn.
Vulcan sells pins in the United States and worldwide under the name of Vultex
II and Vultuf, as well as various private label names.


                            REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS

On August 12, 1993, Vulcan Blanchester Realty Company purchased a majority
interest in the upper seven floors of the ten-story Cincinnati Club Building
in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, and manages that space.  These floors contain
approximately 56,000 square feet of finished office space and approximately
32,000 square feet of unfinished and common area space.  Vulcan occupies a
substantial portion of the tenth floor of the building.  The first three
floors consist of public rooms owned by a company which uses the space for
public functions and a catering service.  There is direct access into the
building from an eight-story parking garage immediately adjacent to the
Cincinnati Club Building owned and operated by the City of Cincinnati.  A
picture of the building appears below.  In addition, the Company owns
approximately 14,000 acres of undeveloped land in the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan.  Timber is harvested from that land and sold both in domestic
and foreign markets.

                    MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS OF RECENT YEARS

2000 COMPARED TO 1999
---------------------
Sales in the Rubber Division decreased from $6,880,103 in 1999 to $6,844,877
in 2000.  The increased sales in custom mix which is a low margin item and
foam products was offset by the decrease in flooring sales.  As a result, the
operating loss (before taxes) increased from $1,179,291 in 1999 to $1,292,120
in 2000.

Sales of the Bowling Pin Division increased from $1,686,027 in 1999 to
$1,716,428 in 2000.  The operating profit of the division decreased from
$733,963 in 1999 to $286,521 in 2000 due to an increase in the production
cost of bowling pins.  In 1999 a cash distribution in excess of basis was
included in the division operating profit in the amount of $410,123.

Operating profit (before taxes) in the real estate operations decreased from
$321,011 in 1999 to $287,927 in 2000 due to the write-off of the unamortized
portion of tenant improvements of a tenant whose lease expired on December
31, 2000.

Net gains on the disposal of equipment and investments were $607,284 in 2000
compared to $89,429 in 1999.  In both years, the gains were mainly from the
sale of marketable securities.  Dividends and interest (before tax) were
$2,180,839 compared to $1,907,509 in 1999.


1999 COMPARED TO 1998
---------------------
In the Rubber Division, the Company increased its sales of low margin custom
mix rubber and continued its research and development efforts to develop and
market higher margin additional foam products.  As a result, sales of rubber
and foam products increased from $6,113,730 in 1998 to $6,880,103 in 1999
while operating loss (before taxes) increased from $960,571 in 1998 to
$1,179,291 in 1999.

Changes in bowling pin manufacturing resulted in substantially reduced costs
which were largely responsible for operating profit (before taxes) from the
bowling pin segment increasing from $215,079 in 1998 to $733,963 in 1999.

Operating profit (before taxes) in the real estate operations segment fell
from $403,522 to $321,011, primarily as the result of a huge increase in real
estate taxes.  The increase is being appealed through appropriate legal
processes.

Net gains on the disposal of equipment and investments were $89,429 in 1999
compared to $408,866 in 1998.  In 1999, the gains were mainly from the sale
of marketable securities.  In 1998, the gains were mainly from the sale of
excess equipment from the Clarksville, Tennessee plant.  Dividends and
interest (before tax) were $1,907,508 compared to $1,828,520 in 1998.

                      MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS OF RECENT YEARS
                                 (Continued)


In August of 1999, Vulcan International Corporation sold all of the assets of
its last manufacturing plant in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas.  Sales from the Last
Division were $1,621,268 in 1998 and $758,712 in the approximately 7 1/2
months it was owned by Vulcan in 1999.  The sale of the Last Division
resulted in 1999 net earnings, including capital gains on the sale, of
$925,789 compared to net earnings of $69,637 on operations in 1998.

The Company restated the 1999 financial statements to recognize a
liability and expense, net of tax, of $2,980,947 for  environmental costs.
The Company had engaged legal counsel for representation on this matter,
but management was not made aware of a final judgment against the Company
until March 28, 2001.


1998 COMPARED TO 1997
---------------------
Sales of rubber and plastic products (47% of which were sales to the shoe
industry) decreased from $9,332,565 in 1997 to $7,734,998 in 1998.
Operating losses of the Company's rubber and plastic business segment
(before taxes) increased from $322,956 in 1997 to $873,525 in 1998.  The
primary cause of these losses was the almost total elimination of sales of
components for military footwear in the last half of 1998 resulting from an
inventory-cutting program of the U.S. Department of Defense.  Such sales
constituted 46% of shoe component sales of the Company's rubber and plastic
business segment.  Plastic products consisted primarily of shoe last.

Operating profit (before taxes) from the bowling pin segment decreased from
$512,975 in 1997 to $215,079 in 1998.  Sales increased during the first half
of the year; however, in the second half of 1998, the severe recession in the
Far East eliminated most sales to that area of the world, which had been a
major purchaser of bowling pins.

Operating profit (before taxes) in the real estate operations segment fell
from $618,238 to $403,522.  That reduction in net profit in the Company's
real estate operations segment resulted entirely from reduced sales of timber
due to two factors:  a) adverse weather conditions which limited timber
harvesting from the Company's undeveloped real estate in the Upper Peninsula
of Michigan and b) reduced sales of timber veneer to the Far East.

Net gains on the sale or disposal of equipment and investments were $408,866
in 1998 compared to $116,622 in 1997.  In 1998 the gains mainly were from
the sale of excess equipment from the Clarksville, Tennessee plant.  In 1997
the gains were mainly from the sales of acreage in Wisconsin.  Dividends and
interest income (before tax) were $1,828,520 compared to $1,794,152 in 1997.

           FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS


The Company's cash requirements in 2000 were funded by its cash flow and
short term borrowing.  The working capital increased $1,893,000 during the
current year.  The increased working capital was mainly the result of the
increased value of marketable securities and decrease in short term
borrowing.  Capital expenditures were $224,878 compared to total
depreciation and amortization of $452,550.

                      INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors
Vulcan International Corporation
Wilmington, Delaware

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vulcan
International Corporation (a Delaware Corporation) and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2000.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vulcan
International Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, management was first
informed on March 28, 2001 about certain environmental matters resulting in
the understatement of liabilities as of December 31, 1999.  Accordingly,
the December 31, 1999 financial statements have been restated to recognize
these environmental liabilities.

                 VULCAN INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       Three years ended December 31, 2000

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

It is the policy of the Company to employ U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles in the preparation of its financial statements.  A summary of the
Company's significant accounting policies follows:

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES-
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION-
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vulcan
International Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary companies and its
majority-owned partnership.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

MINORITY INTEREST-
Cincinnati Club Building Associates (CCBA) was formed in 1993 for the
purchase of certain commercial property in Cincinnati, Ohio.  The Company's
offices are located in a portion of the property with the remainder available
for leasing.  The Company's consolidated financial statements include 100% of
the assets, liabilities and income, or loss, of CCBA.  The minority owner's
2.5% interest in CCBA is reflected as a minority interest in partnership and
a minority interest in (income) of partnership in the respective consolidated
balance sheets and consolidated statements of income.

INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE-
In June 1990, the Company formed a Joint Venture (the Vulcan Brunswick
Bowling Pin Company) with Brunswick Bowling and Billiards Corporation to
Manufacture bowling pins.  The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
has an undivided 50% interest in the Joint Venture which is accounted for
under the equity method of accounting.  Under this method, the Company
records the investment at its original cost adjusted for 50% of the Joint
Venture's income or loss since formation less any distributions received from
the Joint Venture.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES-
Marketable securities are classified as securities available-for-sale and,
accordingly, are recorded at fair market value.  Marketable securities
available for current operations are classified as current assets while
securities held for non-current uses are classified as long-term assets.
Dividends and interest are recorded in income when earned.  Unrealized
holding gains and losses, net of deferred tax, are included as a component
of shareholders' equity until realized.  In computing realized gain or loss
on the sale of marketable securities, the cost of securities sold is
determined by the specific identification method.

                 VULCAN INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       Three years ended December 31, 2000
                                  (Continued)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (Continued)

INVENTORIES-
Substantially all inventories are stated at cost under the last-in, first-out
(LIFO) method, which is not in excess of market.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT-
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.  The Company provides for
depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using
both straight line and accelerated methods.  Buildings and improvements are
depreciated over 10 to 45 years, machinery and equipment over 3 to 11 years,
and leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the leases.
Timber depletion charges are based on the cost of timber cut.

DERIVIATIVE INSTRUMENTS-
Short-term option contracts are used by the Company on certain marketable
securities not paying dividends as a way of generating current income and to
hedge against fluctuations in the value of these securities.  Proceeds
received by the Company are recorded as a current liability until the
contract to sell the underlying securities is either called or expires.
The Company then recognizes any gain or loss on the contract.  Gains and
losses on the contracts are recorded in net gain on sale of property,
equipment and investments in the statements of income.

INCOME TAXES-
Income tax provision (benefit) includes the tax effects of all revenue and
expense transactions included in the determination of pretax accounting
income.  Deferred income tax results from temporary differences in the
financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities.  These
temporary differences apply principally to depreciation expense, allowance
for doubtful accounts, compensated absences and prepaid pension expense.
Tax credits are recognized by a reduction of income tax expense in the
periods the credits arise for tax purposes.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME-
Other comprehensive income is reported in the statement of shareholders'
equity.  The Company includes unrealized gains, or losses, on its available-
for-sale securities in comprehensive income and accumulated other
comprehensive income.

RETIREMENT PLANS-
The Company maintains a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for
certain eligible salaried and hourly employees.  Pension benefits are
determined annually by consulting actuaries and are based on average
compensation and years of service.  Past service cost is amortized over
periods not exceeding 30 years.

NOTE  1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (Continued)

RETIREMENT PLANS- (Continued)
The Company also maintains a noncontributory defined contribution pension
plan for certain eligible union employees.  Contributions to the plan are
based upon a participant's hours of service.

The qualified plans are funded annually to meet the minimum funding
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974.

ADVERTISING COSTS-
Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred.

CASH EQUIVALENTS-
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all time
deposits, certificates of deposit and other highly liquid investments
purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

NET INCOME PER SHARE-
Net income per share of common stock outstanding is computed on the basis of
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year
after giving effect to dividends on preferred shares.

EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS-
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities.  SFAS No. 133 establishes standards
for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.  It requires an
entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in
the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at
fair value.  SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 133 established the effective date for the new standard as fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000.  The adoption of this standard in
2001 is not expected to have a significant effect.

</TABLE>

The unrealized holding gains are included, net of deferred income tax of
$31,345,211 and $24,651,236 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively,
as a component of shareholders' equity.

Realized gains on available-for-sale securities during 2000 and 1999 were
$500,246 and $88,990, respectively and gross proceeds on the sale of the
securities were $535,026 and 92,716, respectively.  Net realized gains from
call option contracts for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $127,969

The Company's available-for-sale marketable securities, at fair market value,
are invested as follows: 66% in two financial institutions, 33% in ten
communication companies and 1% in other industries.  The Company is subject
to the risk that the value of these securities may decline from the recorded
fair market values.

As of February 15, 2001, the fair value of marketable securities was
approximately $97,172,000 and the net unrealized holding gain was
approximately $30,887,000 net of deferred taxes of approximately

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

<TABLE>
Inventories at December 31, 2000 and 1999, were classified as follows:
<CAPTION>

          Work in process                72,992        145,623
          Raw materials                 210,405        492,892

             Total                     $941,090      1,123,403
                                        =======      =========
</TABLE>

As indicated in Note 1, substantially all inventories are stated at cost
determined under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.  If valued at current
replacement cost, inventories would have been approximately $1,239,000 and
$1,189,000 greater than reported at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

In the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1998, inventory quantities were
reduced.  These reductions resulted in liquidations of LIFO inventory
quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with
the cost of current purchases.  The inventory reductions increased 2000 and
1998 net income by approximately $49,000 and $41,000, respectively, or $.04
and $.03 per weighted average common share outstanding, respectively.


NOTE 4 - JOINT VENTURE

</TABLE>

Pension plan assets are invested primarily in U.S. Government guaranteed debt
securities and publicly-traded stocks and bonds.  The vested actuarial
present value of benefit obligations is based upon the participant's expected
date of separation or retirement.

Company contributions to its defined contribution plan were $20,000 in 2000
$18,000 in 1999 and $16,000 in 1998.

The Company maintains a stock option plan that provides for the granting of
options to certain key employees to purchase shares of treasury stock at such
price as may be determined by the Board of Directors.  If the employee
voluntarily leaves the Company within two years of exercising a stock option,
for reasons other than death or disability, the Company may, at its option,
reacquire the employee's stock at the original exercise price within three
months of the employee's termination.

In January 2000, the Company's Board of Directors ratified a December 1999
resolution of its executive committee making treasury shares available for
purchase by Directors at the lowest price for which a sale is made on the
date of exercise up to a maximum of 25,000 shares per year.  Shares purchased
under this policy may not be transferred for a period of six months to anyone
other than the Company, another director, or in the event of the death of the
director, to the director's estate.  The resolution provided for said policy
to continue until rescinded by the Board of Directors.  One director
purchased 15,000 shares during the year under this resolution.

In 1999, the Company's Stock Option Committee granted options, expiring in
2002, to purchase not more than 50,000 shares of treasury stock at $31 per
share to the President of the Company.  During 2000, all 50,000 options were
exercised.  A note receivable, included in accounts receivable, of $1,550,000
at December 31, 2000 is due by April 25, 2001 in connection with the
exercised options.


NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company was advised by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency several
years ago that it was one of at least 122 large generator potentially
responsible parties ("PRPs") with regard to remediation of the Union Chemical
Company, Inc. Site, South Hope, Maine, where the potential joint and several
liability was in the range of $15 million.  The Company, along with many other
PRPs, entered into a consent agreement with U.S. EPA to remediate the Site,
and the Company is now a party to a Remedial Design/Remedial Action Trust
Agreement for the purpose of undertaking clean-up responsibilities at the Site.
Most of the remedial work has now been completed.  In 2000, PRPs estimated the
additional funds in the range of $1 million would be required to complete
remediation of the Site.  The Company's estimated share of that amount was
approximately $5,000.  The Company made payment of that amount in late 2000.
If the projected cost of the remaining remediation tasks remains at
approximately $1 million, this will be the Company's final payment.  There
may be other potential clean-up liabilities at other sites of which the Company
has no specific knowledge.

The Company has an interest in a partnership which owns certain real
estate.  On August 13, 1999 a Complaint for money damages, in excess
of $25,000, based upon breach of fiduciary duty was filed by the other
partner in the Court of Common Pleas in Hamilton County, Ohio.
Essentially, the plaintiff is seeking an adjustment of the capital
account balances which would result in a higher distribution of cash
flow.  On March 27, 2001, the plaintiff threatened to file an Amended
Complaint that alleges damages of $1,062,000 and costs, plus punitive
damages of $2,000,000 on various grounds.  The Company believes that
the suit is without merit and has been defending itself vigorously
against the issues raised.

The Company is involved in litigation matters and other claims which are
normal in the course of operations.  Management believes that the resolution
of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's business
or financial condition.

At December 31, 2000 approximately 77% of the Company's labor force was
subject to collective bargaining agreements which expire in October 2002.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On March 1, 1990 the United States of America filed a Complaint against the
Registrant and others in the United States District Court for the District
of Massachusetts claiming that the Registrant was a potentially responsible
party with respect to the Re-Solve, Inc. Superfund Site in North Dartmouth,
Massachusetts seeking to recover response costs incurred and to be incurred
in the future in connection with this Site.

Although the Registrant had engaged counsel to represent it in that action,
the Registrant was first informed on March 28, 2001 that the Court had
entered, pursuant to prior rulings, an unopposed "Final Judgment" against
the Registrant on September 22, 1999.  The "Final Judgment" awarded damages
against the Registrant in favor of the United States in the amount of
$3,465,438 for unreimbursed response costs and accrued interest, plus
any additional past unreimbursed response costs, interest and certain
future costs the United States incurs at the site.  The United States filed
a notice of lien in certain jurisdictions on real property of the
Registrant and its subsidiary Vulcan Corporation in the dollar amount of
the judgment, plus interest.

In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting
Changes, the Company has restated the December 31, 1999 financial statements
to reflect a liability of $3,601,414 including accrued interest of $135,976
for past costs plus $1,114,044,(representing a discounted present value) for
estimated future costs in connection with the Site.  The effect of the
adjustment was to decrease income from continuing operations by $4,715,458,
decrease tax expense by $1,734,511 and decrease net income by $2,980,947 or
$2.66 per share.  The 2000 quarterly results were also restated to recognize
interest on the liability and to amortize the discount for estimated future
costs.  The effect of the restatement was to decrease the 2000 quarterly
results $140,440, net of tax of $72,346.

The liability for future costs is a significant estimate of the future costs
and it is subject to change as actual costs are incurred and reported by the
Environmental Protection Agency.

The Registrant is presently continuing an investigation into this matter and
intends to vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to set aside all
orders and liens relating to the asserted liability and to defend itself
against the underlying allegations.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Alternative
minimum tax credits may be carried forward indefinitely.  In accordance with
SFAS No. 109, a deferred tax liability of $158,000 is not recognized for
undistributed earnings of a subsidiary arising before 1993.  These earnings
will be subject to tax when distributed.  The Company's net operating loss
carryovers of $399,223 expire in 2020.

NOTE 12 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable and
current liabilities approximate fair value.  The fair value of marketable
securities was determined based on quoted market prices.  The carrying amount
of unexpired call option contracts is based on proceeds received on the sale
of the call options, while the fair value of these contracts is based on
broker quotations.  The carrying amount and fair value of unexpired call
option contracts at December 31, 2000 is $78,273 and $49,370, respectively.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk are cash investments which may, at times, exceed federally
insured limits, notes receivable and marketable securities.  The Company
places its cash investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions.
The borrower's credit worthiness has been evaluated in connection with the
note receivable.  The Company does not believe significant concentration of
credit risk exists with respect to these financial instruments.
Concentrations in marketable securities are as disclosed in Note 2.


NOTE 13 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer
different products and services.  They are managed separately because each
business requires different technology and marketing strategies.  The Company
has three reportable segments: rubber and foam, bowling pins, and real estate
operations.  The rubber and foam segment produces foam products, uncured
rubber and other rubber products.  Operations in the bowling pin segment
involve the sale of bowling pins and production of bowling pins through its
50% owned joint venture.  The real estate operations segment consists of
rental real estate and undeveloped real estate from which income is currently
derived from the sale of timber.  Total revenue by segment includes both
sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company's consolidated
income statement, and intersegment sales which are accounted for generally
at current market prices.

The Company sells its products principally within the United States.  Sales
in various foreign countries totaled $544,365 in 2000, $386,000 in 1999 and
$537,000 in 1998.  The Company does not have assets located outside the
United States.

Operating profit is total revenue less operating expenses.  In computing
operating profit, the following items have not been added or deducted:
general corporate expenses, interest expense, federal and state income taxes,
dividend and interest income and nonrecurring gains or losses realized on the
sale of property, equipment and marketable securities.  Revenue from timber
sales is reported in the consolidated statement of income under gains on sale
of property, equipment and investments.

NOTE 13 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS (Continued)

Identifiable assets are reported for the Company's operations in each
segment.  Corporate assets consist principally of cash, marketable
securities, notes receivable and prepaid pension expense.  To reconcile
industry information with consolidated amounts, intersegment sales of
$523,734 in 2000, $403,586 in 1999 and $534,937 in 1998 have been eliminated.

More than ten percent of aggregate revenues were derived from certain
customers.  The rubber and foam segment had sales to a single customer
amounting to $904,000 in 1998.

                              STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Vulcan International Corporation Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") was
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company in 1991.  The purpose of the
Plan is to provide additional incentives in order that the Company may retain
key personnel.  The Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase
totaling not more than 300,000 shares of common stock from the Company's
treasury shares of which 127,000 have not previously been granted.  The Plan
is administered by a Stock Option Committee consisting of not less than three
(3) Directors of the Corporation who are not eligible to receive options
under the Plan.  During the year 2000, the Committee consisted of Directors
Rafalo, Aconsky and William T. Crutchfield until his death on May 13, 2000.
The current Committee consists of Directors Thomas Gettler, Stanley Rafalo
and Leonard Aconsky.  No options have been granted by the current Committee.
The Committee determines the key employees to whom the options are granted,
the term of the option and the number of shares of each grant subject to the
option.  The option price is such price as may be determined by the Board of
Directors.  Each option continues for the period determined by the Committee,
which shall be not less than one (1) year or more than three (3) years from
the date of its grant.  The Plan provides that each key employee to whom an
option is granted shall as a condition of his right to exercise such option,
agree to remain in the continuous employment of the Company for a period of
at least two years from the date of exercise of the option, unless he is
prevented from doing so by death or disability.  Under the Plan, the Company
has the option to repurchase shares from an optionee who terminates
employment prior to the expiration of the two-year period.

                                PENSIONS

Under the terms of the Company's retirement Plan for salaried employees,
salaried personnel are entitled to retire at age 65 with benefits computed
on the basis of salary and length of service.  The maximum length of service
which can be taken into account is 30 years.  The method of computing
benefits under the retirement plan is:  the number of years of employment
multiplied by the sum of 1.0% of average monthly salary and .65% of such
salary in excess of Social Security covered compensation (all based on the
highest 60 consecutive monthly salaries).  The aggregate contribution made
for the 1999-2000 Plan year was $-0-.  For purposes of the Plan, annual
compensation means a participant's W-2 earnings for federal income tax
purposes, excluding commissions and taxable fringe benefits.  Mr. Gettler
has reached normal retirement age and has more than 30 years of service.
Mr. Gettler currently receives $148,586 per year from the Plan based upon
his selection of a joint and 100% survivor benefit.

                     COMPANIES COMPRISING THE PEER GROUP

    The peer group used in constructing the graph in the Proxy Statement
showing the yearly percentage change in cumulative total return has always
included the complete list of suppliers to the shoe industry provided by the
Footwear Industries of America, the industry association.  Since the Company
has reduced its reliance on the shoe industry and is now manufacturing foam
products, the Company has since 1998 included in its peer group the Rogers
Corp., which is a corporation listed on the American Stock Exchange and which
is in the business of processing and selling foam products. Accordingly, the
peer group for 2000 is:

                     Bontex (formerly Georgia Bonded Fibres)
                           Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
                                 Jaclyn Inc.
                                  Katy Ind.
                                 Lydall Inc.
                                 Rogers Corp.
                              Vista Resources Inc.



                DIRECTORS' MEETINGS, COMMITTEE INFORMATION, FEES AND
                           OTHER DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS

     There were six (6) meetings of the Board of Directors in 2000.  All
Directors attended at least 75% of the total number of Directors' meetings
held during their tenure and all Directors attended at least 75% of Committee
meetings held by committees on which they served during their tenure.

     The Board of Directors has currently one standing committee, namely,
an Audit and Compensation Committee.  The Audit and Compensation Committee
currently consists of Messrs. Leonard Aconsky, Dr. Stanley I. Rafalo, and
Thomas D. Gettler.  The Audit and Compensation Committee is responsible for
overseeing the Company's accounting functions and controls.  The Committee
has adopted a Charter to set forth all of its specific responsibilities.
As required by the Charter:

          The Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited
          financial statements with management;

          The Committee has discussed with the independent auditors
          the matters required to be discussed by Independent Standards
          Board Standard No. 1;

          The Committee has received the written disclosures and the
          letter from the independent accountants required by Independence
          Standards Board Standard No. 1 and has discussed with the
          independent accountant the independent accountant's independence;
          and


                                    -61-

<PAGE>

         Based on the review and discussions with management and the
         representative of its independent auditors, the committee
         recommends to the Board of Directors that the audited financial
         statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
         10-K for the last fiscal year for filing with the Commission.

The Committee also reviews and recommends the salary and bonus of the
Company's chief executive officer.  The Audit and Compensation Committee
had two meetings in 2000.

     The Company pays each of its Directors $8,000 per year as a director
fee.  The members of the Audit and Compensation Committee are paid $300 per
meeting attended.

     There is in effect a Resolution of the Board of Directors pursuant to
which any Director may purchase up to 25,000 treasury shares of company stock
at the closing bid on the American Stock Exchange on the date of the exercise
of such election to purchase.  In the calendar year 2000, there were a total
of 15,000 shares purchased from the Company pursuant to this Resolution.

    independence.

                      COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON
                           EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

                      Committee's Compensation Policy

     It is the policy of the Compensation Committee that the Company's
Executive Officers should be compensated in accordance with the
responsibilities of their position, and their performance in office.
Included among the factors considered by the Compensation Committee in
carrying out such compensation policies are the historical compensation paid

                                    -62-

<PAGE>

officers of this Company and the compensation paid to executives in similar
positions in other companies as well as performance in the fiscal year in
question compared to prior fiscal years.  The Compensation Committee
reviews all relevant factors relating to such performance, including the
general economic climate and the climate of the particular industries in
which this Company is involved.

     In carrying out the foregoing policies, the Compensation Committee also
used the factors and criteria set forth hereinafter in determining the annual
compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company for
2000 and his salary for 2001.  The position of Chief Executive Officer and
President is held by a single individual, Mr. Benjamin Gettler.

     The Company currently has only one officer who is paid over $100,000 per
year compared to three such officers prior to Mr. Gettler assuming the
position of Chief Executive Officer and President following the death of then
C.E.O. Lloyd Miller in April, 1990.  Those offices were combined and Mr.
Gettler has carried out the duties of all three offices.

     In the first ten months of 2000 (the latest financial information
available to the Committee as of the date of this report), the Company
had an unaudited consolidated net profit after tax on continuing
operations of $1,731,456 compared to $911,372 in the first ten months
of 1999.

<TABLE>
During the past three years, Mr. Gettler's annual compensation has been as
follows:
<CAPTION>
              Year           Salary         Bonus         Total
              ----           ------         -----         -----
              <C>           <C>             <C>           <C>
              1999          $275,000        $25,000       $300,000
              1998           275,000         25,000        300,000
              1997           275,000         25,500        300,000

</TABLE>

Mr. Gettler has requested that there be no increase in his salary or bonus.
Accordingly, the Committee has determined to keep Mr. Gettler's base salary
at the same level in 2001 as in 2000, namely, $275,000.  In addition, the
Committee has determined that a bonus for this year of $25,000 is
appropriate.

                   INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

     The principal accountant of the Company is J. D. Cloud & Co. L.L.P.,
certified public accountants.  That firm has acted as the principal
accountant of the Company since 1956.  At the meeting of the Board of
Directors following the May, 2000 meeting, the Board again selected that
firm to continue to serve as the Company's principal independent public
accountants.  The practice of the Board of Directors in making a selection
at such meeting has been followed by the Company since 1956.  The same
practice will be followed after the June, 2001 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Management is not aware of any intended change of principal independent
public accountants.  Representatives of J. D. Cloud & Co. L.L.P. are not
expected to attend the Annual Meeting.


                       PROPOSALS OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     No shareholder proposals will be considered at this year's annual
meeting.

     In the event that any security holder intends to present a proposal at
the 2002 annual meeting of the Company and such security holder desires that
the proposal be included in the Company's proxy statement and form of proxy
relating to that meeting, such proposal must be received by the Company by no
later than 4:30 P.M. December 1, 2001.


                                  GENERAL

     The Company, as of February 1, 2001 had outstanding 1,134,724 shares of
capital stock, each of which is entitled to one vote.  The record date for
determining shareholders entitled to notice and to vote at the meeting is
close of business May 5, 2001.

     The management knows of no other business to be brought before the
meeting for action by the shareholders.  If any other matters properly come
before the meeting, the proxies in the enclosed form, unless otherwise
specified, will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgment
of the Proxy Committee.

                       INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




To the Partners
Vulcan-Brunswick Bowling Pin Company
Antigo, Wisconsin

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vulcan-Brunswick Bowling
Pin Company as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of
income, partners' capital, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Joint Venture's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           December 31, 2000


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Joint Venture is a Delaware general partnership formed for the purpose of
manufacturing bowling pins for its partners.

It is the policy of the Joint Venture to employ U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles in the preparation of its financial statements.  A
summary of the Joint Venture's significant accounting policies follows:

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES-
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

JOINT VENTURE-
Vulcan Bowling Pin Company (Vulcan) and Brunswick Bowling and Billiards
Corporation (Brunswick) have an agreement to manufacture all the bowling
pins sold by each of the partners.  Under the agreement, Vulcan contributed
bowling pin manufacturing assets and Brunswick contributed cash and certain
of its bowling pin manufacturing assets to the Joint Venture.  Each partner
received an undivided 50% interest in the Joint Venture's assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses in exchange for their capital contribution.

INVENTORIES-
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT-
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided in
amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over
their estimated useful lives using straight-line and accelerated methods over
15 to 39 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 7 years for machinery
and equipment.

INTANGIBLES-
Product development costs and other intangible assets consist principally of
manufacturing technology and represent the fair market value assigned to such
assets on the date the Joint Venture was formed.  Intangible assets are
amortized over 40 years on a straight-line basis.

                              (Continued)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (Continued)

INCOME TAXES-
No provision for federal or state income tax is provided in the accompanying
financial statements since the partners are required to report their
proportionate share of the Joint Venture's income or loss on their respective
tax returns in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state
law.

RETIREMENT PLAN-
The Joint Venture maintains a defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all union employees.  Pension benefits are determined annually
by consulting actuaries and are generally based on a fixed amount for each
year of service.  The qualified plan is funded in accordance with the
collective bargaining agreement and to meet the funding requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

CASH EQUIVALENTS-
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Joint Venture considers all
time deposits, certificates of deposit and other highly liquid investments
purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

</TABLE>

NOTE 3 - NOTE PAYABLE

The Joint Venture maintains a revolving credit agreement with its bank that
provides for borrowings of up to $500,000 at the prime rate.  Borrowings
under the credit agreement are guaranteed by the Joint Venture's partners and

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Joint Venture had 2000 and 1999 sales to Vulcan of approximately
$1,743,000 and $1,751,000, respectively, and 2000 and 1999 sales to Brunswick
of approximately $7,519,000 and $7,440,000, respectively.

The Joint Venture purchased raw materials from Vulcan for approximately
$141,000 in 1999. The Joint Venture also paid accounting and administrative
fees of $30,000 to Vulcan in 2000 and 1999.

Accounts receivable from Brunswick amounted to $266,000 and $192,000 at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  Accounts receivable from Vulcan
amounted to $266,000 and $243,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.


NOTE 6 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Joint Venture is involved in various claims and legal proceedings
involving matters incidental to its business.  Management believes that the
resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Joint
Venture's business or financial condition.

The Joint Venture currently purchases all its bowling pin bases from one
manufacturer.  Any disruption in the supply of the bowling pin bases could
cause a delay in manufacturing which could negatively affect operating
results.

NOTE 6 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES  (Continued)

At December 31, 2000 approximately 90% of the Joint Venture's workforce was
subject to a collective bargaining agreement that expires October 18, 2001.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Joint Venture to
concentrations of credit risk are cash investments which may, at times,
exceed federally-insured limits.  Management places the Joint Venture's
cash investments with high-quality financial institutions.  Management
believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists with
respect to these cash investments.
