                                 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,
2001, are set forth in Note 12 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 50% of sales of those
products in 2001 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.

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 2002.
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.

Item 1.  Business.  (Continued)

The Company has commitments for capital expenditures of approximately
$142,820 at December 31, 2001.

The Company had 73 employees at December 31, 2001.

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

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 2001, had sales of
$376,000; net income of $48,000; and assets of $1,091,000.


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


                                    -3-

                              (Continued)


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
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 Company and others in the United States District Court for the
District of Massachusetts claiming that the Company 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 Company had engaged counsel to represent it in that action,
the Company was first informed on March 28, 2001 that the Court had
entered, pursuant to prior rulings, an unopposed "Final Judgment" against
the Company on September 22, 1999.  The "Final Judgment" awarded damages
against the Company in favor of the United States in the amount of
$3,465,438, plus interest, for unreimbursed response costs, 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 Company
and its subsidiary Vulcan Corporation in the dollar amount of the judgment,
plus interest.

The Company had restated its 1999 financial statements to record an
estimated liability and decrease 1999 net income by $2,981,000, net of
$1,734,000 tax, for the judgment, accrued interest for past costs and a
discounted present value for estimated future costs in connection with
the site.  This estimated liability was calculated based on the "Final
Judgment" and using other information provided by the U.S. EPA.  The
Company expensed $151,000 and $140,000 after tax, for the years ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively for accrued interest and
amortization of estimated future costs related to this matter.

The Company 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.  Counsel for the Company is
also vigorously pursuing settlement negotiations with Counsel for the
United States.

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

                              (Continued)


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 appealed a real estate tax assessment from 1999 that had increased
the annual real estate tax by approximately $96,000.  The local school board
has appealed the revision and reduced its initial appraised value of the
property.  During 2001, the Company received a $96,000 refund of the additional
tax paid in 1999.  The Company has recorded a liability of approximately
$119,000 related to this issue based on the revised value asserted by the local
school board.  If the Company is successful, this liability will be recognized
as income.

The Company 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, 2001, that require disclosure under this item.

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, 2001, are recorded at a fair
value of approximately $77,022,000, including net unrealized gains of
$70,605,000.  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 approximately $7,702,200.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:


During the Year 2001, the Company's net income after taxes increased to
$2,896,198 from $1,761,564 in the Year 2000.  Of those amounts,
$1,940,664 resulted from a net gain after tax on sale of property,
equipment, and investments in 2001 compared to a net gain after tax of
$884,013 in the Year 2000.  A substantial part of the gains was due
to the Company's decision in the Year 2000, to reduce gradually its
holdings of non-dividend-paying securities.  Income before gain on sale
of assets and before income tax was $1,192,889 in the Year 2001 compared
to $933,926 the previous year.

The Company's plans to expand its real estate operations by the acquisition
of one or more additional office buildings in the Cincinnati area has been
delayed due to circumstances which arose during the year 2001 both locally
and nationally.  The local uncertainty, has been caused by the racial unrest
in Cincinnati following the April, 2001 riots, while the national uncertainty
has, obviously, been caused by the tragic events of September 11, 2001.  It
is our view that it will take a period of time for those uncertainties to be
sufficiently dissipated in order to present a clearer view of values in the
Cincinnati real estate market.

In its Clarksville rubber operation, the Company continued its emphasis
on the development and sale of foam products.  As a result, foam sales
increased 49% in 2001.  That increase was not sufficient, however, to
overcome the decline in the sale of other rubber products with the result
that total Clarksville sales fell by 10.5%.  The change in product mix
did, however, cause a 31% reduction in the operating loss at Clarksville.
This reduction encourages us to believe that we are heading in the right
direction.  We are grateful for the understanding of our Clarksville
employees who agreed through their union, United Steel Workers of
America, District 9, to extend the current collective bargaining
agreement to October 28, 2005.





                                         BENJAMIN GETTLER

                             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 products
manufactured in Clarksville in 2001 were for use by shoe manufacturers in
the United States.  The majority of such sales were non-cured custom-mixed
materials for use in military footwear.  Non-footwear products manufactured
in Clarksville were primarily for use by various prime manufacturers,
including sports flooring, automobile mats, novelty items, recreational
land and water vehicles and foam and custom-mix rubber for various 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

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Vulcan Blanchester Realty Company
owns 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

2001 COMPARED TO 2000
---------------------
Sales of the Rubber Division decreased from $6,844,877 in 2000 to $6,129,434
in 2001.  The decreased sales in low margin custom mix and flooring was
offset by the increase in foam product sales.  As a result the operating
loss (before taxes) decreased from $1,292,120 in 2000 to $892,131 in 2001.

Sales of the Bowling Pin Division increased from $1,716,428 in 2000 to
$1,783,318 in 2001.  The operating profit of the division decreased from
$286,521 in 2000 to $140,009 in 2001.  The decreased production of the
Joint Venture, which manufactures bowling pins, resulted in lower profit
for the year and was largely responsible for the decreased operating profit.

Operating profit (before taxes) in the real estate operations increased from
$287,927 in 2000 to $516,824 in 2001.  The increase in profit reflects an
adjustment of the real estate appraisal which is being appealed through the
legal processes.

Net gains on the disposal of assets were $2,011,978 in 2001 compared to
$607,284 in 2000.  In both years the gains were mainly from the sale of
marketable securities and net gains from call option contracts.  Dividends
and interest (before tax) were $2,287,609 in 2001 compared to $2,180,836
in 2000.


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 cash distributions 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 as the result of a decision to reduce gradually
the Company's holdings of non-dividend paying securities.  Dividends and
interest (before tax) were $2,180,839 compared to $1,907,509 in 1999.

                                 (Continued)


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 additional higher margin 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.  In
1999 past distributions 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 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 $1,907,509 compared to $1,828,520 in 1998.

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
resulting from a Federal Court judgment which the Company is contesting.

           FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS


The Company's cash requirements in 2001 were funded by its cash flow and
short term borrowing.  The working capital decreased $6,361,129 during
the current year.  The decreased working capital was mainly a result of
the decreased value of marketable securities and a decrease in short term
borrowing.  Capital expenditures were $139,259 compared to total depreciation
and amortization of $383,260.

                      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, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2001.  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, 2001 and 2000, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       Three years ended December 31, 2001

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.

                       Three years ended December 31, 2001
                                  (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-
The Company sold short-term option contracts on certain non-dividend paying
securities owned by the Company in order to reduce the amount of investment in
these securities.  Option contracts are reported at their fair value as
determined by quoted market prices.  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.

EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS-
Effective January 1, 2001 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives, at
their fair market value, as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position.  The adoption of this standard was not significant.

NEW PROUNOUNCEMENTS-
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 141, Business
Combinations, effective for combinations after June 30, 2001, Statement No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for goodwill and other
intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001 and for other goodwill and other
intangible assets effective January 1, 2002, Statement No. 143, Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations, effective January 1, 2003, Statement No. 144,
Accounting For The Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of, effective January 1, 2002.  These standards
are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's results of
operations.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

<TABLE>
Inventories at December 31, 2001 and 2000, were classified as follows:
<CAPTION>

          Work in process                64,853        72,992
          Raw materials                 148,591       210,405

                                        =======       =======
</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 $917,000 and
$1,239,000 greater than reported at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

In the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, 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 2001 and
2000 net income by approximately $212,000 and $49,000, respectively, or $.19
and $.04 per weighted-average common share outstanding, respectively.

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 $16,000 in 2001,
$20,000 in 2000 and $20,000 in 1999.

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 November 2001, the Company's Board of Directors ratified a December 1999
resolution of its executive committee making treasury shares available for
purchase by directors, including directors of wholly-owned subsidiaries, 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.  Two directors
purchased a total of 16,500 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 of $1,550,000 was included in accounts
receivable at December 31, 2000, in connection with the exercised options.
Payment was received in 2001.

In 2001, the Company's Stock Option Committee granted options, expiring in
2004 to purchase not more than 50,000 shares of treasury stock at $37.24
per share to the President of the Company.  No options were exercised under
this grant during 2001.

In November 2001, the Compensation Committee awarded the President of the
Company 1,000 shares of common stock, valued at $37,750, as additional
compensation for his services.


NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company was advised by the U.S. 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 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, CCBA, 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.

CCBA appealed a real estate tax assessment from 1999 that had increased the
annual real estate tax by approximately $96,000.  The local school board has
appealed the revision and reduced its initial appraised value of the property.
During 2001, the partnership received a $96,000 refund of the additional tax
paid in 1999.  CCBA has recorded a liability of approximately $119,000 related
to this issue based on the revised value asserted by the local school board.
If CCBA is successful, this liability will be recognized as income.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

On March 1, 1990 the United States of America filed a complaint against the
Company and others in the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts claiming that the Company 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 Company had engaged counsel to represent it in that action,
the Company was first informed on March 28, 2001 that the Court had entered,
pursuant to prior rulings, an unopposed "Final Judgment" against the Company
on September 22, 1999.  The "Final Judgment" awarded damages against the
Company in favor of the United States in the amount of $3,465,438, plus
interest, for unreimbursed response costs, plus any additional past
unreimbursed response costs, interest and certain future costs the United
States incurs at the site.

In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting
Changes, the Company restated its December 31, 1999 financial statements to
record an estimated liability and decrease net income by $2,981,000, net of
$1,734,000 tax, for the judgment, accrued interest for past costs and a
discounted present value for estimated future costs in connection with the
site.  This estimated liability was calculated based on the "Final Judgment"
and using other information provided by the U.S. EPA.  The Company expensed
$151,000 and $140,000, after tax, for the years ended December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively for accrued interest and amortization of estimated future
costs related to this matter.

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 Company 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.  Counsel for the Company is also vigorously
pursuing settlement negotiations with counsel for the United States.  To the
extent that the Company is able to settle this liability, or to obtain judicial
relief, for an amount less than it has accrued, the difference will be recorded
as income in the year the obligation is settled.

The Company is 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 effect on the Company's business or financial
condition.

At December 31, 2001 approximately 73% of the Company's labor force was subject
to collective bargaining agreements which expire in October 2005.

NOTE 10 - 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.  During 2001, the Company used a
net operating loss carryforward of approximately $389,000.

Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets

NOTE 11 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable and
current liabilities approximate fair value.  The fair value of marketable
securities and unexpired option contracts was determined based on quoted
market prices.

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 12 - 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 $376,266 in 2001, $544,365 in 2000 and
$386,000 in 1999.  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 12 - 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
$354,631 in 2001, $523,734 in 2000 and $403,586 in 1999 have been eliminated.

                              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 77,000 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 2001, the Committee consisted of Directors
Leonard Aconsky, Stanley I. Rafalo, and Thomas D. Gettler.  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 Option Committee.

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.  During 2001, Mr. Benjamin Gettler
was granted an option for 50,000 shares at an exercise price of $37.24.

                                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 2000-2001 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.

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

     There were six (6) meetings of the Board of Directors in 2001.  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,

directors.  The Audit and Compensation Committee currently consists of
Messrs. Leonard Aconsky, Edward B. Kerin, and Dr. Stanley I. Rafalo.  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 Statement of Auditing
          Standards No. 61 relating to conduct of the audit;

          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

          and


                                    -58-

<PAGE>

         Based on the review and discussions with management and the
         representative of its independent auditors, the committee
         recommended 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 has reviewed and assessed the adequacy of the
         Charter.

         A copy of the Charter is included as an appendix to this proxy
         statement.

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 2001.

     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 of the Company or any of the subsidiary companies 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 2001, there was a total of 15,500 shares
purchased from the Company pursuant to this Resolution.

compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company for
2001 and his salary for 2002.  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.

     The year 2001 has been a very stressful year for the Company and its
Chief Executive Officer despite which the earnings of the Company have
continued to be more than sufficient to continue the regular dividend
payments and to lay the basis for future changes which we anticipate
will be beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.

<TABLE>
During the past three years, Mr. Gettler's annual compensation has been as
follows:
<CAPTION>
              Year           Salary         Bonus         Total
              ----           ------         -----         -----

              2000           275,000         25,000        300,000

</TABLE>

Mr. Gettler has requested that there be no increase in his salary.  Further,
he has pointed out that it is necessary for the Company to conserve its
cash.  Accordingly, the Committee has determined that a bonus for the
Year 2001 should be provided to Mr. Gettler in the form of Company common
stock, namely 1,000 shares of such stock.  The Committee also has
determined to keep Mr. Gettler's base salary at the same live in 2002 as
in 2001, namely $275,000.

                   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, 2001 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 May, 2002 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 2003 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, 2002.


                                  GENERAL

     The Company, as of March 29, 2002 had outstanding 1,102,105 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 March 29, 2002.

     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.

                               APPENDIX

                        AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

The Audit Committee ("the Committee"), of the Board of Directors ("the
Board") of Vulcan International Corporation ("the Company"), will have
the oversight responsibility, authority and specific duties as described
below:


                              COMPOSITION

The Committee will be comprised of three or more directors as determined
by the Board.  The members of the Committee will meet the independence
and experience requirements of the American Stock Exchange (AMEX).  The
members of the Committee will be elected annually at the organizational
meeting of the full Board held in May and will be listed in the annual
report to shareholders.


                            RESPONSIBILITY

The Committee is part of the Board.  Its primary function is to assist
the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to
(i) the annual financial information to be provided to shareholders and
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); (ii) the system of internal
controls that management has established; and (iii) the internal and
external audit process.  The Committee should have a clear understanding
with the independent accountants that they must maintain an open and
transparent relationship with the Committee, and that the ultimate
accountability of the independent accountants is to the Board and the
Committee.  The Committee will make regular reports to the Board
concerning its activities.


                              AUTHORITY

Subject to the prior approval of the Board, the Committee is granted
the authority to investigate any matter or activity involving financial
accounting and financial reporting, as well as the internal controls of
the Company.  All employees will be directed to cooperate with respect
thereto as requested by members of the Committee.


                               MEETINGS

The Committee is to meet as many times as the Committee deems necessary
to carry out its duties as set forth herein.  The Committee is to meet
in separate executive sessions with the chief financial officer,
independent accountants and internal audit as it deems appropriate.


                                    -62-

<PAGE>

                              ATTENDANCE

Committee members will strive to be present at all meetings.  As
necessary or desirable, the Committee Chair may request that members
of management and representatives of the independent accountants and
internal audit be present at Committee meetings.


                           SPECIFIC DUTIES

In carrying out its oversight responsibilities, the Committee will:

     1.  Review and reassess the adequacy of this charter annually and
         recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval.  This
         should be done in compliance with applicable AMEX Audit
         Committee Requirements.

     4.  Review the scope and general extent of the independent
         accountant's annual audit.  The Committee's review should
         include an explanation from the independent accountants of
         the factors considered by the accountants in determining the
         audit scope, including the major risk factors.  The independent
         accountants should confirm to the Committee that no limitations
         have been placed on the scope or nature of their audit
         procedures.

     5.  Inquire as to the independence of the independent accountants
         and obtain from the independent accountants, at least annually,
         a formal written statement delineating all relationships between
         the independent accountants and the Company as contemplated by
         Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence
         Discussions with Audit Committees.

     6.  Have a predetermined arrangement with the independent accountants
         that they will advise the Committee of any matters identified
         through procedures followed for interim quarterly financial
         statements, and that such notification as required under standards
         for communication with Audit Committees is to be made prior to the
         related press release or, if not practicable, prior to filing

         Company's financial and accounting personnel.  Also, elicit the
         comments of management regarding the responsiveness of the
         independent accountants to the Company's needs.

         accountants to discuss any relevant significant recommendations
         that the independent accountants may have, if any, particularly
         those characterized as 'material' or 'serious'.

         of the Company's independent accountants.

                       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, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of
income for the four months ended April 27, 2001, and the eight months ended
December 31, 2001 and the related statements of income, partners' capital,
and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.  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.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Vulcan-Brunswick Bowling Pin
Company at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the periods and years then ended, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           December 31, 2001


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 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.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Joint Venture will be required to adopt Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets.  SFAS 142 will require that goodwill and certain other intangible assets
no longer be amortized but be tested for impairment as defined in SFAS 142.

                              (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.

provides for borrowings of up to $500,000 at the prime rate.  Borrowings

are secured by a pledge of the general assets of the Joint Venture.  There
were no borrowings at December 31, 2001 and 2000.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Joint Venture had 2001 and 2000 sales to Vulcan of approximately
$905,000 and $1,743,000, respectively, and 2001 and 2000 sales to Brunswick
of approximately $3,016,000 and $7,519,000, respectively.  For the
period from April 30, 2001 through December 31, 2001, Vulcan was solely
responsible for the operations of the Joint Venture.

By agreement, the Joint Venture produced pins for Brunswick at an agreed-upon
selling price.  In addition, Brunswick contributed $256,900, included in sales
in the statement of income, for its agreed portion of the operating expenses.
The price paid for pins by Vulcan was based on the remaining operating costs and
expenses, resulting in no income or loss for the period April 30 through
December 31, 2001.

As indicated by the statement of income, the Joint Venture had net income of
$133,516 for the period January 1 through April 30, 2001.  As a result of the
agreement, there was no income for the period April 30 through December 31,
2001.

The Joint Venture paid accounting and administrative fees of $110,000 and
$30,000 to Vulcan in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Accounts receivable from Brunswick amounted to $324,000 and $266,000 at December
31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  Accounts receivable from Vulcan amounted to
$517,000 and $266,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, 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.

At December 31, 2001 approximately 90% of the Joint Venture's workforce was
subject to a collective bargaining agreement that expires October 18, 2002.

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.
