PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

         The Company is an international manufacturer and distributor of highly
engineered precision roller, ball and plain bearings in the United States.
Bearings, which are integral to the manufacture and operation of most machines
and mechanical systems, reduce wear to moving parts, facilitate proper power
transmission and reduce damage and energy loss caused by friction. While the
Company manufactures products in all major bearing categories, the Company
focuses primarily on highly technical or regulated bearing products for niche
markets. The Company targets the higher end of the domestic bearing market where
it believes its value added manufacturing and engineering capabilities enable it
to differentiate itself from its competitors and to enhance profitability. The
Company believes that it is the leading supplier to many of its targeted markets
and maintains secondary positions in other product niches where it believes
market share gains can be achieved.

         The Company conducts and operates its business through three divisions:
the RBC division; the Heim Bearings ("Heim") division; the Transport Dynamics
Corporation ("TDC") division, and seven wholly-owned subsidiaries: RBC Nice
Bearings, Inc. ("Nice"); RBC Linear Precision Products, Inc. ("LPP"); Bremen
Bearings, Inc. ("Bremen"); Industrial Tectonics Bearings Corporation ("ITB");
Miller Bearing Company, Inc. ("Miller"), Tyson Bearing Company, Inc. ("Tyson")
and RBC Schaublin S.A. ("Schaublin"). The Company also has a wholly owned
foreign sales subsidiary, Roller Bearing Company FSC, Inc. ("FSC").

<PAGE>

FORMATION; CORPORATE STRUCTURE; ACQUISITIONS

         The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1987. In July 1991, the
Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Michael J.
Hartnett, teamed up with affiliates of Aurora Capital Partners, L.P. ("Aurora")
to implement a plan to acquire a series of small to medium size domestic
companies in the roller and ball bearing industry. In March 1992, the Company's
capital stock was acquired for $52 million by RBC Acquisition Company (which was
incorporated in March, 1992 as a Delaware corporation), which was subsequently
merged into the Company and the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Roller Bearing Holding Company, Inc. ("Holdings"). From 1992 to 1999, the
Company has acquired TDC, a manufacturer of plain bearings, for $5.8 million,
Heim, a leading producer of rod end and ball bearings, for $6.8 million, LPP, a
pioneer in grinding techniques for precision ball bearing screws, for $5.5
million, Nice, the oldest active brand name in the domestic bearing industry,
for $7.5 million, and Bremen and Miller, manufacturers of rollers and needle
bearings, for approximately $5.3 million and $11.1 million, respectively. In
Fiscal 2000, the Company acquired Tyson, a manufacturer of tapered roller
bearings, and Schaublin, a manufacturer of collets and bearings, for $10.2
million and $8.8 million, respectively.

         The Company has historically acquired complementary bearing companies
and integrated them effectively into its existing operations. Following an
acquisition, management typically rationalizes operations, reduces overhead
costs, develops additional cross-selling opportunities and establishes new
customer relationships.

         The Company believes that there will continue to be consolidation
opportunities within the bearing industry. The Company is currently in
discussion with several companies that meet its strategic goals. Priority will
be given to acquiring bearing companies with sales of between $15 million and
$50 million. Additionally, the Company will seek smaller "fold-in" acquisitions,
businesses whose products can be manufactured at the Company's existing
facilities.

         While the Company believes that it has greatly benefited from the
consolidation opportunities in the bearing industry and the acquisitions that
the Company has pursued, there can be no assurance that such opportunities will
continue to materialize or that the Company will be able to successfully
capitalize on any such opportunities in the future.

HISTORY AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         RECAPITALIZATION

         On June 23, 1997, pursuant to a Redemption and Warrant Purchase
Agreement (the "Recapitalization Agreement") dated May 20, 1997, Holdings
effected a recapitalization of its outstanding capital stock, including the
financing and other transactions consummated by Holdings, the Company and its
subsidiaries in connection therewith (the "Recapitalization"). In connection
with the Recapitalization, all of the outstanding preferred stock of Holdings
("Preferred Stock") was redeemed by Holdings and substantially all of the
outstanding common stock of Holdings ("Holdings Common Stock") and warrants to
purchase Holdings Common Stock ("Holdings Warrants") held by non-management
stockholders of Holdings were redeemed or purchased by Holdings, or certain
current stockholders or warrantholders of Holdings, including certain affiliates
of Credit Suisse First Boston ("CSFB") and one of the purchasers of the Discount
Debentures (as defined herein).

         The Recapitalization was financed with the proceeds from the issuance
by the Company of $110 million of 9 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2007 (the
"Notes"), the incurrence by the Company of $16 million of term loans (the "Term
Loans"), the issuance by Holdings of approximately $74.8 million in

<PAGE>

Senior Secured Discount Debentures (the "Discount Debentures") and warrants
(the "Discount Warrants") to purchase 6,731 shares of Class A Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share, of Holdings ("Class A Common Stock") for an aggregate
gross consideration of $40 million. The Term Loans are a part of the senior
credit facilities (the "Senior Credit Facilities") of the Company with a group
of lenders, which also include a $54 million revolving credit facility (the
"Revolving Credit Facility").

         On January 22, 1998, the Company consummated an exchange of all of the
outstanding Notes for substantially identical Notes that were registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such exchange was undertaken pursuant to
obligations of the Company under the indenture governing the Notes (the
"Indenture") and certain other agreements entered into by the Company in
connection with the Recapitalization.

         Additionally, in connection with the Recapitalization, (i) the Company
paid a dividend to Holdings in the amount of approximately $56.9 million (the
"Dividend") to finance the Recapitalization, (ii) Holdings used the proceeds of
the Dividend and the proceeds from the sale of the Discount Debentures and the
Discount Warrants, to redeem Holdings Common Stock and Preferred Stock and to
purchase Holdings Warrants for aggregate consideration of approximately $92.2
million, (iii) Holdings assigned its rights to purchase certain shares of
Holdings Common Stock and Holdings Warrants under the Recapitalization Agreement
to Dr. Michael J. Hartnett, certain affiliates of CSFB, OCM Principal
Opportunities Fund, L.P. (the "Oaktree Fund"), Kirk Morrison, The Sommers Family
Trust and Mitchell Quain, (iv) Holdings repurchased (the "Hartnett Repurchase")
1,250 Holdings Warrants from Dr. Hartnett for an amount per share of Holdings
Common Stock underlying such Holdings Warrants equal to $514 less the
approximately $77 exercise price of such warrants (an aggregate of approximately
$550,000), (v) Holdings issued warrants exercisable for 1,250 shares of Class B
Supervoting Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of Holdings ("Class B Common
Stock") at an exercise price of $514 per share to Dr. Hartnett, (vi) Holdings
loaned $500,000 to Dr. Hartnett (the "Hartnett Loan") to finance a portion of
his purchase of Holdings Common Stock and Holdings Warrants referred to in
clause (iii) above, (vii) Holdings paid to Dr. Hartnett a fee of $1 million (the
"Hartnett Fee"), (viii) Holdings converted all of Dr. Hartnett's shares of
Holdings Common Stock into shares of Class B Common Stock, and amended all
Holdings Warrants held by Dr. Hartnett to provide that they be exercisable for
shares of Class B Common Stock, (ix) the Company repaid outstanding indebtedness
of approximately $52.1 million on its revolving credit facility (the "Existing
Revolving Credit Facility") and its term loan (the "Existing Term Loan") both
with Heller Financial, Inc., ("Heller") and (x) the Company and Holdings paid
certain other fees and expenses, in the approximate aggregate amount of $10.4
million, payable in connection with the foregoing.

         Dr. Hartnett, the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company, currently owns approximately 40% (approximately 39% on a fully
diluted basis) of the outstanding capital stock of Holdings, and, through the
operation of provisions of Holdings' certificate of incorporation, he has the
power to control a majority of the voting rights of all capital stock of
Holdings. See "Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management" and "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

         As discussed herein, the Company incurred indebtedness in connection
with the Recapitalization and is leveraged. The degree to which the Company is
leveraged could have important consequences for the Company, including but not
limited to, (i) impairing the ability of the Company to obtain additional
financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service
requirements or other purposes, (ii) impacting the portion of cash flow from
operations available for general corporate needs (the "obligations"), (iii)
impacting the Company's ability to compete against its less leveraged
competitors and (iv) increasing the Company's vulnerability in the event of a
downturn in any industry to which the Company markets its products or a downturn
in the economy in general. Although the Company believes it will be able to pay
its obligations as they come due, there can be no assurance that it will
generate earnings in any future period sufficient to cover its fixed charges.

         BREMEN ACQUISITION

         On August 8, 1997, Bremen, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
completed the acquisition of Bremen Bearings Division of SKF USA, Inc., a
manufacturer of needle bearings with facilities in Bremen, Indiana. The purchase
was effective as of July 1, 1997. The Company paid approximately $5.6 million,
of which approximately $3.6 million was paid at the closing. The purchase price
for Bremen was financed by borrowings under the Term Loans.

         MILLER ACQUISITION

         On June 3, 1998, Miller, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
completed the acquisition of Miller Bearing Company, Inc. ("MBC"), a
manufacturer of pins, rollers and screw machine products with facilities in
Bremen, Indiana. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition, which was
effective as of March 1, 1998, was approximately $11.1 million which included
the assumption of certain liabilities of MBC. Miller discharged an aggregate of
approximately $1.7 million of such assumed liabilities at closing, representing
all notes payable assumed in the transaction. The acquisition was financed from
proceeds from the sale of the Notes. Operations of Miller for March, 1998 were
not material to the consolidated financial results of the Company.

         TYSON ACQUISITION

         On June 11, 1999, Tyson, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
completed the acquisition of certain assets of SKF USA, Inc.'s taper roller
bearing operations whose principal operations are located in Glasgow, Kentucky.
The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition, which was effective as of
April 1, 1999, was $10.2 million plus the assumption of certain liabilities. The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

         SCHAUBLIN ACQUISITION

         On December 17, 1999, Schaublin, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, completed an asset purchase of Schaublin SA, a manufacturer of collets
and bearings whose principal operations are located in Delemont, Switzerland,
and a related stock purchase of Schaublin France SA, a manufacturer of bearings
located in Bovagnet, France. The acquisition was economically effective as of
January 1, 1999. The earnings of Schaublin for the period from January 1, 1999
through September 30, 1999 effectively reduced the aggregate purchase price for
the acquisition to 14.0 million Swiss Francs, or approximately $8.8 million. The
results of operations of Schaublin for the period commencing October 1, 1999 are
included in the results of operations of the Company.

GENERAL

         The Company is a manufacturer and distributor of highly engineered
precision roller, ball and plain bearings in the United States. Bearings, which
are integral to the manufacture and operation of most machines and mechanical
systems, reduce wear to moving parts, facilitate proper power transmission and
reduce damage and energy loss caused by friction. Many of the Company's products
are custom designed or highly engineered for specific applications to meet
demanding specifications. While the Company manufactures products in all major
bearing categories, the Company focuses primarily on highly technical or
regulated bearing products for niche markets.

<PAGE>

         The Company targets the higher end of the domestic bearing market where
it believes its value added manufacturing and engineering capabilities enable it
to differentiate itself from its competitors and to enhance profitability. The
Company believes that it is the leading supplier to many of its targeted markets
and maintains secondary positions in other product niches where it believes
market share gains can be achieved. In fiscal 2000 (which commenced on April 4,
1999 and ended on April 1, 2000), the Company had sales to more than 3,000
customers with no single customer amounting to more than 8% of net sales. The
Company believes its rapid turnaround on orders, custom designed engineering and
strict adherence to quality and reliability provide it with significant
competitive advantages. The Company's key customers include Caterpillar, John
Deere, Boeing, Pratt & Whitney, Dana Corporation, Honeywell Inc., General
Electric, Bell Helicopter and Motion Industries.

         The Company sells primarily to domestic Original Equipment
Manufacturers ("OEMs") and distributors in three markets: industrial, aerospace
and government. Many of the Company's product offerings are in markets which
require high service levels, extensive technical engineering support, short lead
times and small production runs, with market sizes between $30 million and $150
million. In combination with the Company's efficient production processes,
targeting such markets has allowed the Company to achieve its plan.
Additionally, in an effort to generate more stable revenues, the Company has
increased sales to the replacement market. Management estimates that currently
over 60% of the Company's products are sold directly or indirectly for use in
the replacement market.

         Although the Company operates as one manufacturing and operational
segment, it sells products to various customer markets. As it relates to
geographical data; during fiscal year 2000, the Company acquired Schaublin,
based in Delemont, Switzerland, which produced $8.7 million in foreign sales,
and additionally exported $12.3 million from its domestic operations to foreign
customers. This combined $21.0 million represents 11.8% of the Company's total
sales. During fiscal year 1999, the Company maintained no overseas manufacturing
facilities but had foreign sales of $9.5 million or 6.4%, of the Company's total
sales.

         Approximately 72% of the Company's fiscal 2000 net sales were to the
industrial market. The Company believes opportunities exist to increase sales in
this market as a result of (i) increasing demand for industrial machinery in
both the domestic and international markets, which is expected to expand
existing OEM selling opportunities, (ii) growth in aftermarket demand as the
installed base continues to expand and (iii) the increased emphasis being placed
on maintenance and repair of capital goods given the increasing cost of such
items.

         Approximately 19% of the Company's fiscal 2000 net sales were to the
aerospace market for applications in commercial and military aviation. According
to Boeing, worldwide air travel is expected to grow 75% between 1996 and 2006
and the world commercial aircraft fleet is expected to double by 2016. The
Company provides bearings for virtually every model of commercial aircraft in
production, as well as many military applications, and its customers include all
major aerospace manufacturers. Sales to the aerospace market have been
increasing as a percentage of total sales, a trend which the Company expects
will continue.

         Approximately 9% of the Company's fiscal 2000 net sales were to the
government. The Company expects sales to this market to remain stable in the
foreseeable future due to (i) increased emphasis on repair and maintenance of
existing military platforms, (ii) sole source supplier relationships and
replacement part sales for existing programs and (iii) long product lives of
existing programs, which should ensure steady sales relating to such programs
for several years.

<PAGE>

BUSINESS STRATEGY

         The Company has developed a business strategy that focuses on
profitability while growing, both internally and through acquisitions.

         Management believes that the Company's business strategy makes it well
positioned to achieve continued growth and market share gains through (i)
increasing sales to the aftermarket, (ii) continuing its focus on high margin
niche markets where the Company believes it has a sustainable competitive
advantage, (iii) penetrating new markets with innovative products, (iv)
expanding international OEM and distributor sales and (v) acquiring other
manufacturers which have complementary products, similar distribution channels
or provide significant potential for margin enhancement.

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

         The Company believes that it has significant competitive strengths,
including a strong management team with extensive managerial experience in the
bearing industry, excellent design and manufacturing capabilities, long-term
customer relationships, the Company's focus on niches of the bearing market, the
Company's proprietary manufacturing processes, its low cost operations and the
Company's commitment to service.

BEARING INDUSTRY

         Bearings are integral to the manufacture and operation of machines and
mechanical systems. Bearings serve to reduce the wear to moving parts, ensure
proper power transmission and reduce damage and energy loss caused by friction.
Demand for bearings generally follows the market for products in which bearings
are incorporated and the general economy as a whole. Purchasers of bearings
include (i) automotive manufacturers, (ii) industrial equipment and machinery
manufacturers, (iii) producers of commercial and military aerospace equipment,
(iv) agricultural machinery manufacturers and (v) construction and specialized
equipment manufacturers. The Company estimates that approximately one-third of
all bearings manufactured are for use in the automobile industry, a market in
which the Company has recently begun to participate in strategic areas.

         The domestic bearing market is comprised of three primary product
categories: ball bearings, roller bearings and plain bearings. Ball bearings are
used for high-speed applications; roller bearings for lower speed, heavily
loaded applications; and plain bearings for sliding action and misalignment
applications.

         The domestic market for standard bearings is dominated by three major
international competitors: The Timken Company ("Timken"), Torrington Company
("Torrington") and SKF USA, Inc. ("SKF"). The balance of the domestic market,
consisting primarily of specialty and custom engineered bearings, is more
fragmented. Due to the shorter production runs and significant post-sale
technical support associated with these products, the Company believes they are
not the primary focus of the larger bearing manufacturers. A group of smaller
companies (including the Company) frequently establish leading positions, in
market share and reputation, in certain of these niche product lines.
Furthermore, competition in these niche markets is based on lead times and
reliability of product and service, and these markets are generally not as price
sensitive as the markets for standard bearings.

CUSTOMERS AND MARKETS

         The Company supplies bearings to OEMs and distributors in the
industrial, aerospace and government markets. The industrial OEM market
continues to be the largest market for the Company, accounting for 49% of the
Company's fiscal 2000 net sales. While the Company's sales in its target markets
have historically been concentrated on OEMs, the Company has recently shifted
its focus in the

<PAGE>

aerospace and industrial markets towards replacement part sales. The Company
believes this generates more stable revenues. The Company's top ten customers
were responsible for generating 31% of the Company's fiscal 2000 net sales and
no single customer was responsible for generating more than 8% of fiscal 2000
net sales. Five of the Company's top ten customers are distributors and the
remaining five are OEMs.

         The Company does not believe that it is dependent upon a single
customer or a few customers. However, the loss of the Company's major customers
or a substantial decrease in such customers' purchases from the Company could
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company.

         The aerospace, heavy equipment and other industries to which the
Company sells its products are, to varying degrees, cyclical and have
experienced periodic downturns, which have often had a negative effect on demand
for the Company's products. Although the Company believes that by concentrating
on products with a strong aftermarket demand it has reduced its exposure to such
business downturns, any future material weakness in demand in any of these
industries could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company.

         INDUSTRIAL

         Industrial bearings are used in a wide range of industries such as
heavy equipment, machine tools, agricultural equipment, pumps and packaging.
Nearly all mechanical devices and machinery require bearings to relieve friction
where one part moves relative to another. The Company's products target existing
market applications in which the Company's engineering and manufacturing
capabilities provide it with a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

         The Company manufactures a wide range of roller, ball and plain
bearings for industrial uses by customers including Caterpillar, John Deere,
Euclid Hitachi, Motion Industries, Applied Industrial Technologies, and Kaman.
See "Products." Sales to the industrial market accounted for 72% of the
Company's fiscal 2000 net sales. Approximately 67% of such sales were to OEMs
while 33% were to distributors. Within the industrial market, the Company sells
to the construction and mining equipment, material handling, machine tools,
semiconductor manufacturing equipment and energy and natural resources markets.
The Company believes that the diversification of its sales among the various
markets of the industrial bearings market reduces its exposure to downturns in
any individual market.

         AEROSPACE

         Bearings are used in numerous applications within airplanes,
helicopters and aircraft engines. The aerospace market utilizes spherical plain
bearings, rod ends, journal bearings and thin section ball bearings. Bearings
are regularly replaced on aircraft in conjunction with routine maintenance
procedures and include such items as high precision ball and roller bearings and
metal-to-metal and self-lubricating plain bearings. Commercial aerospace
customers generally require precision products, often of special materials, made
to unique designs and specifications.

         The Company's penetration of the commercial aerospace market expanded
through the acquisitions of TDC and Heim. Sales to the aerospace market
accounted for 19% of the Company's fiscal 2000 net sales. Of this total, 70%
reflected sales to OEMs and the remaining 30% were to distributors. Management
estimates that over 75% of commercial aerospace net sales are actually used as
replacement parts since a portion of OEM sales also are ultimately intended for
replacement market use. Sales of products for use in the aftermarket helped the
Company's sales over the past five years. The Company supplies bearings for
commercial aircraft, commercial aircraft engines and private aircraft
manufacturers, as well as to various military contractors for airplanes,
helicopters and missile systems. Aerospace

<PAGE>

customers include Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Bell Helicopter, General Electric,
Pratt & Whitney, Honeywell, Aviation Sales and WS Wilson.

         Essential to servicing the aerospace market is the ability to obtain
product approvals. The Company has in excess of 20,000 product approvals, which
enable it to provide products used in virtually all domestic aircraft platforms
presently in production or operation. Product approvals are typically issued by
the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") designated OEMs who are Production
Approval Holders ("PAHs") of FAA approved aircraft. These PAHs provide quality
control oversight and generally limit the number of suppliers directly servicing
the commercial aerospace aftermarket. Recent regulatory changes enacted by the
FAA provide for an independent process (the PMA process), which enables
suppliers who currently sell their products to the PAH, to sell products to the
aftermarket. The Company has submitted over 6,100 PMA applications and has
received over 1,000 approvals to date. There can be no assurance that the
Company will receive approvals on all or any of its remaining submissions. To
the extent that such approvals do not materialize, the Company's ability to
service the aerospace market could be adversely affected.

         GOVERNMENT

         The Company manufactures high precision ball and roller bearings,
commercial ball bearings and metal-to-metal and self-lubricating plain bearings
for all branches of the United States military, and certain foreign military
forces. In addition to products that meet military specifications, these
customers often require precision products made of specialized materials to
custom designs and specifications. The Company manufactures an extensive line of
standard products that conform to many domestic military application
requirements, as well as customized products designed for unique applications.
Product approval for use on military equipment is often a lengthy process
ranging from six months to three years, and represents a significant barrier to
new entrants.

         Government sales accounted for 9% of the Company's fiscal 2000 net
sales, consisting primarily of replacement bearings on programs for which the
Company is the sole source supplier. Despite cutbacks in the overall defense
budget during the 1990s, appropriations for maintenance and repairs for product
platforms serviced by the Company have remained stable. Military programs for
which the Company supplies component products include airplanes, helicopters,
turbine engines and armored vehicles.

         While a significant portion of the Company's sales are directly or
indirectly to the government, related military or other government projects, no
significant portion of such sales are subject to renegotiation of profits or
termination of contracts at the election of the government. However, compliance
with various government regulations may be required. Violations of such
regulations could result in termination of the Company's contracts, which may
have material adverse effects on the Company's operations. In addition, the
consolidation and combination of defense manufacturers may eliminate customers
from the industry and/or put downward pricing pressures on sales of component
parts sold by the Company. Such factors could result in a material adverse
effect on the Company.

         The Company's products and services include six broad categories: plain
bearings, roller bearings, ball bearings, linear precision products, machine
tool collets and refurbishment, each of which includes both standard and highly
specialized and customized products. Within the six major categories that
encompass the Company's product offerings, its major bearing products include
heavy duty needle roller bearings, cam follower bearings, metal-to-metal, ball
bearing and self-lubricating rod ends and spherical bearings, high precision
ball and roller bearings, precision ball screws and semi-precision unground ball
bearings. Bearings are employed to fulfill several functions including reduction
of friction, transfer of motion and carriage of loads.

<PAGE>

         PLAIN BEARINGS

         Plain bearings accounted for approximately 30% of the Company's fiscal
2000 net sales. In general, plain bearings are produced with either
self-lubricating or metal-to-metal designs and consist of several sub-classes,
including rod end bearings, spherical plain bearings and journal bearings.
Unlike ball bearings, which are used in high-speed rotational applications,
plain bearings are primarily used to rectify inevitable misalignments in various
mechanical components. Such misalignments are either due to machining
inaccuracies or result when components change position relative to each other.
Spherical plain bearings are designed for heavy equipment applications.
Spherical plain bearings and rod end bearings are used in the aerospace market
in the same applications as airframe control ball bearings. Heim and TDC produce
Teflon(R) fabric lined sleeves for the aerospace market.

         ROLLER BEARINGS

         Roller bearings are anti-friction bearings that use rollers instead of
balls. The Company manufactures four basic types of roller bearings: heavy duty
needle roller bearings with inner rings, tapered roller bearings, track rollers
and aircraft roller bearings. The sale of roller bearings accounted for 48% of
the Company's fiscal 2000 net sales. Track rollers have widespread use in heavy
industrial machinery applications. The Company is a leading producer of roller
bearings for use in helicopters. The Company produces medium sized tapered
roller bearings used primarily in heavy truck axle applications. A significant
portion of the sales of this product is to the aftermarket through Chicago
Rawhide, a division of SKF. The Company offers several needle roller bearing
designs produced at the Bremen and Miller facilities. Needle bearings are used
in various industrial applications and in certain U.S. military aircraft
platform bearing applications that require high load carrying capability in a
confined space. The product is also used as a shaft for another type of bearing
or to support rotating components in mechanical or electromechanical devices.
The Company produces this product in bearing quality steel but also has the
capability to produce this product from various grades of low carbon, stainless
or tool steel.

         BALL BEARINGS

         The Company manufactures four basic types of ball bearings: high
precision aerospace, airframe control, thin section and commercial ball
bearings. Ball bearings accounted for 17% of the Company's fiscal 2000 net
sales. High precision aerospace bearings are primarily sold to customers in
government or the defense industry that require more technically sophisticated
bearing products providing higher degrees of fault tolerance given the
criticality of the applications in which they are used. Airframe control ball
bearings are precision ball bearings that are plated to resist corrosion and are
qualified under a military specification. Thin section ball bearings are
specialized bearings which use extremely thin cross sections and give
specialized machinery manufacturers many advantages. The Company is also
involved in two niche markets: unground ball bearings and specialty inch and
metric ball bearings.

         LINEAR PRECISION PRODUCTS

         LPP produces precision ground ball bearing screws that offer repeatable
positioning accuracy in machine tools, transfer lines, robotic handling and
semiconductor equipment. Linear precision products accounted for approximately
2% of the Company's fiscal 2000 net sales. LPP's products are primarily used in
the machine tool industry where the Company believes significant opportunities
to cross-sell the Company's other products exist. LPP also serves many new,
replacement and repair markets through an agreement with Warner Electric, a
division of Dana Corporation.

<PAGE>

         MACHINE TOOL COLLETS

         Schaublin produces precision machine tool collets that provide
effective part holding and accurate part location during machining operations.
The machine tool collets accounted for approximately 2% of the Company's fiscal
2000 net sales. The Company believes that significant opportunities to expand
sales of this product outside of Europe exist.

         BEARING REFURBISHMENT PROGRAM

         ITB has developed a bearing refurbishment center. Management estimates
this to be a $60 million market which historically has not been well served.
Bearing refurbishment accounts for approximately 1% of the Company's fiscal 2000
net sales. The Company believes that, as an OEM manufacturer of bearing
components, it is well positioned to serve this industry. Refurbished bearings
offer the end user a significant savings and provide the equivalent service
level. As material costs are minimal and most primary machining and grinding
operations are not required to operate in this market, the opportunity exists
for higher margins. The Company believes bearing refurbishment will continue to
be a growing market, but does not currently expect this program to have a
material impact upon its results of operations or liquidity for at least the
next three to five years.

         The RBC Linear Precision Products facility has upgraded their precision
ball screw repair facility to allow them to focus on this growing market.
Management estimates this to be a $60 million market which has been fragmented
in the past among many small companies. The Company believes that LPP, as an OEM
manufacturer of precision ball screws, it is well positioned to service this
industry. As this is a service-oriented business, the opportunity exists for
higher margins. The Company does not currently expect this program to have a
material impact upon its results of operations or liquidity for at least the
next three to five years.

NEW PRODUCTS

         The Company develops and acquires new products and determines new
applications for existing products. Some of the Company's new product
introductions over the last several years in the industrial market include: the
RBC self-lubricated, fibrinoid lined spherical plain bearing, designed to meet
an increasing demand for products that are not lubricated and totally
maintenance free; the NBC heavy duty needle roller bearing series; a commercial
thin section ball bearing, which the Company developed by capitalizing on ITB's
expertise in the aerospace industry and adapted for industrial use; and the
Spherco self-lubricated fiberglide rod end, a maintenance-free rod end with
reduced radial play.

         In the aerospace and defense markets, the Company's products also
include the ITB swashplate thin section ball bearings and Heim ball bearing rod
ends. The Company is also concurrently working with Boeing to develop weight
saving products. The Company has submitted samples and test data to the
Department of the Navy for military approval, which is required for the sale of
the Company's aircraft cam follower product line to the aerospace industry. In
addition, the company continues to pursue product approval and qualification for
many different series of airframe control bearings through the FAA and Boeing.

MANUFACTURING AND OPERATIONS

         The Company's production processes are designed to reduce costs and
improve overall profitability. Using its operating strategy, the Company
endeavors to design its manufacturing process so that machine and labor
utilization are optimized and total costs are reduced. Cost savings are
generated through management of monthly product line profit and loss. On a
monthly basis, gross margins of every

<PAGE>

product line within each product group are reviewed. The Company monitors the
progress of its efficiency efforts on an ongoing basis, both monthly and
quarterly, and reacts quickly to resolve problems or capitalize on unanticipated
opportunities.

         Custom products are sold at a premium based on factors such as lot size
and availability. Management believes it has a thorough understanding of the
products and customers in the markets it serves, allowing the Company to utilize
aggressive and competitive pricing practices.

         CAPACITY

         The Company's plants currently run on a single shift and a light second
shift at selected locations to meet the demands of its customers. Management
believes that current capacity levels, with future annual capital expenditures
equal to approximately 5% of sales in turning and grinding equipment, will
permit the Company to effectively meet demand levels through at least 2002.
Management also believes that as it continues to invest in bearing
professionals, the ability to increase capacity and move to full second shifts,
if required, could be accomplished without compromising product quality or
involving significant additional capital expenditure.

         INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

         The Company's increasing emphasis on the distributor/aftermarket has
required it to maintain greater inventories of a broader range of products than
the OEM market historically demanded. As a result, the Company has implemented
an inventory management program designed to balance customer delivery
requirements with economically optimal inventory levels. In this program, each
product is categorized based on characteristics including order frequency,
number of customers and sales volume. Using this classification system,
management's primary goal is to maintain a sufficient supply of standard items
while minimizing warehousing costs. In addition, production cost savings are
achieved by optimizing plant scheduling around inventory levels and customer
delivery requirements. This leads to more efficient utilization of manufacturing
facilities and minimized plant production changes while maintaining sufficient
inventories to service customer needs.

         INTEGRATION OF ACQUISITIONS

         The Company has demonstrated an ability to institute programs which
improve the performance of acquired companies. The process involves applying the
Company's operating strategy, rationalizing the product offerings and
appropriately capitalizing the acquisition.

MARKETING

         The Company's marketing strategy is aimed at increasing sales within
its three primary market sectors and targeting specific profitable niche
products. To effect this strategy, the Company seeks to expand into geographic
areas not previously served by it and continues to capitalize on new markets and
industries for existing and new products. The Company employs a technically
proficient sales force and also utilizes marketing managers, product managers,
customer service representatives and product application engineers in its
selling efforts.

         Despite the difficulties inherent in the development of a quality,
technically astute, sales force in the bearing industry, the Company has been
able to accelerate the growth of its sales force through the

hiring of sales personnel with prior bearing industry experience, complemented
by an in-house training program, implemented in 1995, which has graduated 20
professionals. The Company will continue to hire and develop expert sales
professionals and strategically locate them to implement its expansion strategy.

<PAGE>

Today, the Company employs strategically located sales professionals nationwide
in its sales and marketing effort.

         The Company has placed an emphasis on increasing sales to distributors
serving the spare parts aftermarket in the Company's key industry markets. Sales
to this market tend to be less cyclical as they arise out of end users' needs
for replacement bearings on existing equipment. See "Customers and Markets."
Management estimates that sales to the replacement market exceeded 60% of the
Company's fiscal 2000 net sales. Management intends to continue to focus on
building distributor sales volume.

         With regard to its OEM customers, the Company has and continues to
focus on establishing and maintaining relationships with OEMs that produce
products with strong aftermarket demand characteristics for the Company's
products. The Company's OEM relationships also provide it with extensive
cross-selling opportunities, as many OEM products utilize several types of
bearings manufactured by the Company.

COMPETITION

         Competition in the bearing industry is based on a number of factors,
including price, product line offering, technical service and timeliness of
supply. The Company believes that it is well positioned to compete with regard
to each of these factors in each of the markets in which it operates.

         For large run bearing products, price is a very important factor.
Larger manufacturers generally are relative low cost producers in the more
standard bearing product lines and are thus able to attain extensive market
shares. However, with niche product lines, when the production runs are smaller,
larger manufacturers are often unable to achieve the economies of scale needed
to maintain their low-cost producer status. As a result, while the Company
competes with the larger bearing manufacturers in some of the more standard
bearing product markets, its primary competition includes smaller niche
companies such as Kaydon Corporation, New Hampshire Ball Bearings and McGill
Manufacturing Company, Inc. Competitors to the Company's ballscrew product line
are 20th Century and Thompson.

         Bearings manufacturers operating in the more specialized market compete
by maintaining a broad product line and adequate inventories to service the
aftermarket. This enables such manufacturers to exploit the trend of OEMs
towards sourcing a broader range of products from a small number of suppliers.
Additionally, in certain industries and groups, purchasers require product
approval on an industry or company specific level for their component parts.

         Other factors in the more specialized bearing market include strong
distribution channels, quality product, strong technical product service,
customer support and long-term customer relationships.

         While the Company believes that it has significant strengths over
several of its competitors, many of its competitors are more diversified than
the Company, have greater resources than the Company and possess greater market
share in certain markets of the bearing industry. In addition, the Company
relies on certain of its competitors for its own raw materials and in certain
circumstances, produces products for and sells products to its competitors for
resale under such competitors' names. See "Suppliers and Raw Materials."


BACKLOG

<PAGE>

         As of April 1, 2000, the Company had a backlog of $77.7 million as
compared to a backlog of $69.1 million as of April 3, 1999. The primary reasons
for the increase in the backlog are the acquisitions of Tyson and Schaublin. The
backlog not including Tyson and Schaublin was $68.1 million. The Company has
historically maintained a strong backlog of orders. The Company sells many of
its products pursuant to contractual agreements, single source relationships or
long-term purchase orders, each of which may permit early termination by the
customer. However, due to the nature of many of the products supplied by the
Company and the lack of availability of alternative suppliers to meet the
demands of such customers' orders in a timely manner, the Company believes that
it is not practical or prudent for most customers, including many of the
Company's largest customers, to shift their bearing business to other suppliers.

EMPLOYEES

         The Company had approximately 1,520 employees at April 1, 2000.

         Currently, collective bargaining agreements with the United Auto
Workers (UAW) cover substantially all of the hourly employees at the Company's
West Trenton, New Jersey; Fairfield, Connecticut; and Bremen, Indiana plants,
and collective bargaining agreements with the United Steelworkers (USWA) covers
substantially all the hourly employees at the Company's Kulpsville, Pennsylvania
and Glasgow, Kentucky plants. A collective bargaining agreement with the
Association of Swiss Engineering Employers (ASM) covers substantially all of the
hourly employees at the Company's Delemont, Switzerland plant. The West Trenton
agreement expires on July 1, 2001; the Fairfield agreement expires on January
31, 2002; the Bremen agreement expires on June 30, 2002; the Kulpsville
agreement expires on October 25, 2002; the Glasgow agreement expires on March
29, 2002; and the Delemont agreement expires on June 30, 2003. All other hourly
employees are non-unionized.

         The Company considers its relations with its employees to be
satisfactory and has not experienced a significant work stoppage in over
thirteen years. However, there can be no assurance that additional employees who
are not represented by unions will not elect to be so represented in the future
or that any of the collective bargaining agreements will be renewed when they
expire or that the Company will not experience strikes, work stoppages or other
situations.

         In addition, the Company business is managed by a small number of key
executive officers. Accordingly, the loss of services of certain of these
executives, including Dr. Hartnett, could have a material adverse impact on the
financial condition and results of operations of the Company. There can be no
assurance that the services of such personnel will continue to be made
available.

SUPPLIERS AND RAW MATERIALS

         The Company obtains raw materials, component parts and supplies from a
variety of sources and generally from more than one supplier. The Company's
principal raw material is steel. The Company's suppliers and sources of raw
materials are based in the United States. The Company believes that its sources
are adequate for its needs in the foreseeable future, that there exist
alternative suppliers for its raw materials and that in most cases readily
available alternative materials can be used for most of its raw materials. The
Company does not believe that the loss of any one supplier would have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company relies on certain of its
competitors for its own raw materials. There is no assurance that such
competitors will continue to supply raw materials to the Company in the future.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

<PAGE>

         The Company's policy is to file patent applications to protect its
technology, inventions and improvements that are important to the development of
its business, and to seek trademark protection with respect to its product
titles that have achieved brand name recognition. The Company also relies upon
trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and
maintain its competitive position. The Company holds six United States patents
(including those covering the RBC Roller-TM- cam follower and Quadlube-TM-
spherical plain bearing) and has three additional United States patent
applications pending. The Company has registered twelve trademarks in the United
States. There can be no assurance that such rights will not be infringed upon,
that additional patents will be issued as a result of the Company's applications
and that the Company's trade secrets will not otherwise become known to or
independently developed by competitors. The Company believes that it would have
adequate remedies for any such infringement or use or that claims allowed under
such patents or any existing patents will not be challenged or invalidated or
would be of adequate scope to protect the Company's technology. The Company does
not believe that any individual item of intellectual property is material to its
business.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

         The Company is subject to various federal, state and local
environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, including those governing
discharges of pollutants into the air and water, the storage, handling and
disposal of solid wastes, hazardous wastes and hazardous substances and the
health and safety of employees ("Environmental Laws"). Agencies responsible for
enforcing Environmental Laws have authority to impose significant civil or
criminal penalties for non-compliance. The Company believes it is currently in
material compliance with all applicable requirements of Environmental Laws, but
there can be no assurance that some future non-compliance will not result in the
imposition of significant liabilities.

         The Company also may be liable under Environmental Laws, including the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
("CERCLA"), state analogs to CERCLA and certain state property transfer laws,
for the costs of investigation and remediation of contamination at facilities
owned or operated by the Company, or at other facilities at which the Company
has disposed of hazardous substances. In connection with such contamination, the
Company may also be liable for natural resource damages, government penalties
and claims by third parties for personal injury and property damage.

         State agencies are currently overseeing investigation, remediation
and/or monitoring activities at the Company's facilities in Fairfield,
Connecticut, West Trenton, New Jersey, Santa Ana, California, Rancho Dominguez,
California and Hartsville, South Carolina and the prior property owners have
conducted limited remediation at the Company's Kulpsville, Pennsylvania and
Bremen, Indiana facilities. The former owners of these facilities have agreed to
indemnify the Company for liabilities arising from environmental conditions that
existed prior to the date of purchase of such facilities by the Company, which
has covered most of the costs of ongoing activities to date, although the
Company has relinquished the indemnity for the Fairfield, Connecticut facility.
Moreover, there can be no assurance that the indemnities relating to the other
facilities, all of which contain negotiated dollar limits, will be adequate to
resolve any remaining cleanup liabilities or that the indemnifying parties will
continue to perform their indemnification obligations.

         At the Company's two facilities located in California and its facility
in New Jersey, the previous owners of the assets purchased by the Company
indemnified the Company for liabilities arising from environmental conditions
that existed prior to the date of the Company's purchase of such assets, subject
to certain thresholds, limitations and caps, and are undertaking cleanup in
fulfillment of those indemnification obligations. With respect to the Rancho
Dominguez, California facility, the Company has contributed a total of
approximately $100,000 toward the cost of the on-going cleanup. Under the
acquisition agreement, the previous facility owner is responsible for all
further costs to cleanup conditions existing at the time of

<PAGE>

the transfer of the facility, up to a maximum of the full purchase price. The
previous owner is continuing to undertake cleanup activities at this facility.
To the Company's knowledge, cleanup costs are not expected to approach the
indemnification cap limit.

         Cleanup has been completed at the Company's Santa Ana, California
facility, although standard monitoring continues as required by the regional
regulatory authority. Currently, the previous owner is working with this
regulatory authority to obtain final approval and closure of the now-concluded
cleanup activities at this facility. The Company did not contribute toward the
costs of cleanup, and has not contributed toward the ongoing monitoring costs.
To the Company's knowledge, cleanup and monitoring costs have not approached the
$4.5 million limit on the previous owner's liability under the acquisition
agreement for this facility.

         At the West Trenton, New Jersey facility, the previous facility owner
has been investigating and remediating the land where the facility is located
since the mid-1980s. The previous owner both indemnified the Company with
respect to its cleanup obligations and is performing the cleanup pursuant to a
consent order with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The
Company has not contributed to the costs of remediation at this facility, and
does not expect to do so with respect to conditions existing at the time the
Company acquired the facility.

         Each of the Company's Bremen, Indiana facilities formerly had on-site
lagoons used for settling process wastewater. In each case, the former owner of
the facility discontinued use of the lagoon and removed residual sludge for
disposal off-site years before RBC began operations at the facility. With regard
to the former SKF facility located at 1342 West Plymouth Street in Bremen, some
material from the lagoon was disposed of on-site. Testing of this material
revealed that it was not hazardous under the United States Environmental
Protection Agency's EP toxicity protocol and some of this material remains
on-site. The former owner of this facility has indemnified RBC for pre-existing
environmental liabilities at this site. At the former Miller Bearings facility
located at 225 Industrial Boulevard in Bremen, the former owner removed residual
sludge for off-site disposal and a Phase II environmental sampling investigation
at this facility did not reveal the existence of regulated substances in excess
of applicable regulatory standards at this facility. The former owner of this
facility has indemnified RBC for pre-existing environmental liabilities at this
site. Neither of the Bremen facilities has been the subject of any regulatory
interest in connection with the cleanup of the former lagoons. Although there
can be no assurance, the Company does not expect to incur material costs with
respect to these former lagoons.

         Finally, limited environmental activities have been conducted at the
Company's Kulpsville, Pennsylvania and Hartsville, South Carolina facilities.
The prior owner of the Kulpsville facility is undertaking limited remediation at
that facility in fulfillment of its indemnification obligations. Also, at the
request of the state regulatory agency, the Company is monitoring trace level
contamination at its Hartsville, South Carolina facility. This contamination
resulted from operations prior to the Company's acquisition of the facility.
Because the contamination has been detected at very low levels, which are
decreasing, the state has not required cleanup activities beyond monitoring.
Monitoring costs have remained minimal and are being paid by the Company.
However, if the state regulatory agency were to require cleanup activities in
the future, the cost of that cleanup would be covered by an indemnity with the
prior facility owner. There can be no assurance that the cost of such a cleanup,
if required, would not exceed the limits of the prior owner's indemnification
obligation to the Company.

         Certain types of property transactions in Connecticut and New Jersey
may trigger investigation and cleanup obligations under the Connecticut Transfer
Act (the "CTA") or the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act (the "ISRA"),
respectively. In connection with the purchase of its Fairfield, Connecticut
facility in 1996, the company was required by the CTA to submit an investigation
and remediation plan for known environmental contamination at that facility.
Although this known contamination had been the result of operations conducted by
the facility's prior owner, the Company agreed to assume responsibility

<PAGE>

for completing cleanup efforts previously initiated by that owner. In 1996,
the Company submitted and obtained regulatory approval for its investigation
and remediation plan as required by the CTA. The results of this investigation
revealed the continued presence of certain low level soil and groundwater
contamination, the remediation of which had been commenced by the previous owner
of the facility. In March 1998, the Company submitted these findings to
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection ("CTDEP"). In April 1999,
CTDEP responded to this submission and requested that the Company develop a
workplan for additional investigation, analysis and possible remediation to
address the isolated, low level residual contamination at this facility. While
the Company believes that its total investigation and cleanup costs will not
exceed $200,000, Connecticut regulators may require additional cleanup or
monitoring of the residual contamination at this facility. If such activities
are required, there can be no assurance that the Company's total investigation
and remediation costs will not exceed its $200,000 estimate.

         The Company's Recapitalization in 1997 also triggered ISRA obligations
at its West Trenton facility, obligating the Company to investigate all possible
past hazardous substances releases, and to cleanup any resulting contamination,
at that facility. Under ISRA, investigation requirements for facilities that are
currently being remediated pursuant to an earlier ISRA-triggering transaction
may be merged into that ongoing ISRA investigation. In this case, the West
Trenton facility has been the subject of an ongoing ISRA (and its predecessor
statute) groundwater investigation and remediation by the facility's prior owner
since the Company's acquisition of the facility in 1987. Accordingly, the New
Jersey regulatory authorities have informed the Company that its ISRA
obligations triggered by the 1997 Recapitalization are being satisfied by the
prior owner's ongoing ISRA investigation and remediation. That investigation has
not found any additional contamination that would require remediation beyond
that which continues to be performed by the facility's prior owner.

         Prior to, and in connection with, the acquisition of a facility or
business, the Company endeavors to obtain indemnification from parties whom the
Company believes to be able to support such indemnities. Further, the Company
takes such actions as it deems warranted to establish the scope of any
environmental issues that exist as of such purchase, as well as to assess what
potential environmental liabilities exist. Such actions include investigations
by members of management of the Company of the records and facilities relating
to the plant or business to be acquired, analysis of existing investigations,
analyses and compliance work done by the sellers and commissioning its own
studies, investigations or analyses.

         The Company monitors its various facilities and operations for
compliance with Environmental Laws and exposure to environmental claims,
including, where deemed necessary, the hiring of outside consultants to conduct
surveys and tests. When presented with a potential violation or claim, the
manager of the facility in question will, in coordination and consultation with
management of the Company, endeavor to establish the scope and nature of the
issue, and, if possible, resolve the issue without resort to litigation or
formal proceedings. The Company also undertakes an analysis of the various
indemnification obligations owed to it to ascertain which, if any, would apply,
and the procedures to be followed to perfect its rights with respect to
potential recoveries. Several members of management of the Company have
experience in dealing with such issues and take a leading role in resolving
issues that arise.

         Future events, such as new releases of hazardous substances, new
information concerning past releases of hazardous substances, changes in
existing Environmental Laws or their interpretation, and more rigorous
enforcement by regulatory authorities, may give rise to additional expenditures,
compliance requirements or liabilities that could have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition and results of the operations of the Company. See
"Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations."

<PAGE>

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         There are various claims and legal proceedings against the Company
relating to its operations in the normal course of business, none of which the
Company believes to be material. The Company currently maintains insurance
coverage for product liability claims. There can be no assurance that

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

MARKET INFORMATION

         As of April 1, 2000, there were 100 shares of common stock, par
value $.01 per share, of the Company ("Company Common Stock") outstanding,
all of which were held by Holdings. There is no established public trading
market for the Company Common Stock.

         As of April 1, 2000, there were 6,075 shares of Holdings Class A
Common Stock outstanding held by 19 holders and 3,748 shares of Holdings
Class B Common Stock outstanding held by Michael J. Hartnett. In addition, as

DIVIDENDS

         The Company, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings, from time to
time will pay dividends (and has paid the Dividend in connection with the
Recapitalization) to Holdings from funds legally available therefore to fund
Holdings' operations. No cash dividends have been declared by Holdings on the
Common Stock in the last three years. Holdings intends to retain earnings to
finance the development and growth of its business. Accordingly, Holdings
does not anticipate that any dividends will be declared on the Holdings
Common Stock for the foreseeable future. Future payments of cash dividends,
if any, will depend on the financial condition, results of operations,
business conditions, capital requirements, restrictions contained in
agreements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board
of Directors of the Company and Holdings. Further, the Company's ability to
declare and pay dividends on the Company Common Stock is restricted by
certain covenants in the credit agreement relating to the Senior Credit
Facilities (the "Credit Agreement") and the Indenture. Holdings' ability to
pay and declare dividends is restricted by certain covenants in the indenture
related to the Discount Debentures (the "Discount Indenture").

under the Recapitalization Agreement to purchase certain shares of Holding's
Common Stock and Holdings Warrants to Dr. Hartnett, certain affiliates of
CSFB, the Oaktree Fund, Kirk Morrison, The Sommers Family Trust and Mitchell
Quain. In addition, in connection with the Recapitalization, Holdings issued
warrants to purchase 1,250 shares of Class B Common Stock to Dr. Hartnett and
issued the Discount Warrants to the Oaktree Fund and Northstar (as defined
herein). See "Item 1. Business--Recent Developments--Recapitalization."

         Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan (as defined herein), Holdings has
issued options to purchase 1,728 shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock in
fiscal year 1998 and 409.5 shares (options with respect to 100 of which were
subsequently cancelled and returned to the plan for future grant) of Holdings
Class A Common Stock in fiscal year 1999, and 167.5 shares of Holdings Class
A Common Stock in fiscal year 2000, and as a result thereof was obligated to
issue additional warrants to purchase 436 shares of Holdings Class A Common

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1999

     NET SALES

         The Company's net sales increased by approximately 19.7%, or $29.2
million, to $177.1 million in fiscal 2000 from $147.9 million in fiscal 1999.
Net sales growth in fiscal 2000 was primarily due to acquisitions. Net sales
for fiscal 2000 included $37.9 million related to the Tyson acquisition,
which was effective April 1, 1999, and the Schaublin acquisition, which was
effective October 1, 1999. Net sales for the Company excluding the Tyson and
Schaublin acquisitions decreased $8.7 million or 5.9% from fiscal 1999,
primarily due to cyclical factors in the aerospace business and an agreement
with a major customer to delay receipt of contractually committed orders.

     GROSS MARGIN

         Gross margin increased by approximately 27.9% or $12.5 million, to
$57.3 million for fiscal 2000 from $44.8 million for fiscal 1999. Gross
margin as a percentage of net sales increased from 30.3% to 32.3%. These
increases are primarily the result of strategic pricing increases, better
operational performance through Kaizen management techniques and machine tool
capital enhancements.

     OPERATING EXPENSES

         Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by
approximately 9.1%, or $2.1 million, to $25.1 million in fiscal 2000 from
$23.0 million in fiscal 1999 primarily due to expenses relating to the
acquired companies. Other operating expenses remained constant in fiscal 2000
at $0.7 million.

     OPERATING INCOME

         Operating income increased by approximately 49.2%, or $10.3 million,
to $31.4 million for the current year versus $21.1 million for fiscal 1999
primarily due to the higher gross margin and was partially offset by higher
SG&A expenses.

     INTEREST EXPENSE

         Interest expense for fiscal 2000 was $15.0 million as compared to
$14.5 million for fiscal 1999.

     INCOME BEFORE TAXES AND EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE

         Income before taxes and extraordinary items increased by $9.8
million to $16.4 million in fiscal 2000 from $6.6 million in fiscal 1999,
primarily due to the increased operating income.

     NET INCOME

         Net income for fiscal 2000 reflects a tax provision of $6.4 million
compared to a tax provision of $2.7 million for fiscal 1999. Net income
increased by $6.1 million to $10.0 million in the current year compared to
$3.9 million last year.

<PAGE>

FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998

     NET SALES

         The Company's net sales increased by approximately 8.8%, or $11.9
million, to $147.9 million for fiscal 1999 from $136.0 million for fiscal
1998. Net sales growth in fiscal 1999 occurred both through internal growth
in the Company's existing businesses and through acquisitions. Net sales for
fiscal 1999 included $8.5 million related to the Miller acquisition which was
effective March 1998. Net sales for the Company excluding the Miller
acquisition increased by $3.4 million or 2.5% from fiscal 1998.

     GROSS MARGIN

         Gross margin increased by approximately 15.4%, or $6.0 million, to
$44.8 million for fiscal 1999 from $38.8 million for fiscal 1998. Gross
margin as a percentage of sales increased from 28.5% to 30.3%. These
increases are primarily the result of strategic pricing increases, better
operational performance through Kaizen management techniques, the elimination
of certain unprofitable product lines and machine tool capital enhancements.

     OPERATING EXPENSES

         SG&A expenses increased by approximately 18.0%, or $3.5 million, to
$23.0 million for fiscal 1999 from $19.5 million in fiscal 1998. SG&A
expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from approximately 14.3% in
fiscal 1998 to approximately 15.6% in fiscal 1999. The increase was primarily
attributable to increased fixed infrastructure costs necessary to support the
expanded business. Key additions to operating management were directly
related to the margin improvement experienced in fiscal 1999. A full year of
expenses by the newly acquired Miller also contributed to the higher level of
expenses. Other operating expenses decreased to $0.7 million in fiscal 1999
from a total of $8.7 million in the prior year primarily due to one time
charges of $7.8 million in fiscal 1998 for expenses related to the extension
of warrants and the Recapitalization.

     OPERATING INCOME

         Operating income increased by approximately 98.8%, or $10.5 million,
to $21.1 million for fiscal 1999 from $10.6 million for fiscal 1998.
Excluding the $7.8 million in fiscal 1998 one time other expenses, operating
income increased by $2.7 million, or approximately 14.7% for the current year
primarily due to higher gross margin partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

     INTEREST EXPENSE

         Interest expense for the fiscal year was $14.5 million compared to
$11.8 million for the prior year. The increase of $2.7 million is primarily
related to higher debt incurred in connection with the Recapitalization and
the Miller acquisition.

INCOME BEFORE TAXES AND EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE

         Income before taxes and extraordinary items increased by $7.8
million to $6.6 million for fiscal 1999 compared to a loss of $1.2 million in
fiscal 1998. The increase is primarily due to higher operating income of
$10.5 million partially offset by higher interest expense of $2.7 million.

<PAGE>

     NET INCOME

         Net income for fiscal 1999 reflects a tax provision of $2.7 million
compared to $0.1 million for fiscal 1998. Net income increased by $5.8
million to $3.9 million in the current year compared to a loss of $1.9
million for fiscal 1998. Fiscal 1998 results include an extraordinary charge
related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs in
connection with the Company's early extinguishment of debt. The extraordinary
charge was $1.0 million and is reflected net of the related income tax
benefit of $0.4 million.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $14.5
million for fiscal 2000, versus $3.7 million in fiscal 1999. The increase of
$10.8 million is primarily the result of the net income increase of $6.1
million combined with working capital changes of $2.5 million and a change in
the deferred income tax asset of $2.2 million.

         Cash used in investing activities increased by $3.4 million to $25.0
million in fiscal 2000 from $21.6 million in fiscal 1999. Acquisition costs
were $7.9 million higher in fiscal 2000, due to the acquisition of Tyson and
Schaublin of $10.2 million and $8.8 million, respectively, versus the fiscal
1999 acquisition of Miller for $11.1 million. This utilization was somewhat
offset by lower capital expenditure costs in fiscal 2000 of $6.6 million
compared to $9.4 million in fiscal 1999, a decrease of $2.8 million and an
increase in cash flow due to restricted marketable securities of $1.7 million.

         The Company had net cash inflows from financing activities of $11.4
million primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of long term debt, mainly
in connection with the Schaublin acquisition, of $7.7 million, proceeds from
Industrial Revenue Bonds of $4.8 million, draw downs on our revolving credit
facility of $3.0 million, less principal payments on bank loans and capital
lease obligations of $4.1 million.

         Principal and interest payments under the Senior Credit Facilities,
interest payments on the Notes, and the funding of acquisitions, represent
significant liquidity requirements for the Company. With respect to the Term
Loans, the Company began to make its required quarterly scheduled principal
payments in September 1997. The Term Loans bear interest at a floating rate
based upon the interest rate option elected by the Company. As a result of
the indebtedness incurred in connection with the Recapitalization, the
Company's post-Recapitalization interest expense was higher and will continue
to have a greater proportionate impact on net income in comparison to
pre-Recapitalization periods.

         The Company believes that borrowings available under the Revolving
Credit Facility, cash flow from operations and cash on hand will provide
adequate funds for ongoing operations, planned capital expenditures and debt
service payments for the foreseeable future. The Company's ability to incur
indebtedness is limited by the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Indenture
and the Discount Debentures.

YEAR 2000

         The Company experienced no material problems with its information
systems, or those of its vendors, customers or financial institutions, as a
result of the date change to the Year 2000. The Company developed a detailed
Year 2000 compliance plan, which was completed by November 1999, utilizing
both internal and external resources to ensure Year 2000 compliance. Costs
related to this conversion were approximately $0.3 million. The Company does
not anticipate expending any additional funds on Y2K related activities.


ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

<PAGE>

         The Company is subject to various federal, state and local
environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, including those governing
discharges of pollutants into the air and water, the storage, handling and
disposal of solid wastes, hazardous wastes and hazardous substances and the
health and safety of employees. Agencies responsible for enforcing
Environmental Laws have authority to impose significant civil or criminal
penalties for non-compliance. The Company believes it is currently in
material compliance with all applicable requirements of Environmental Laws,
but there can be no assurance that some future non-compliance will not result
in the imposition of significant liabilities.

         Additionally, capital expenditures and operating costs associated
with the Company's compliance with Environmental Laws may increase in the
future if environmental laws become more stringent, are enforced more
rigorously, or if the Company's operations were to change.

         Prior to, and in connection with, the acquisition of a facility or
business, the Company endeavors to obtain indemnification from parties whom
the Company believes to be able to support such indemnities. Further, the
Company takes such actions as it deems warranted to establish the scope of
any environmental issues that exist as of such purchase, as well as to
project what potential environmental liabilities exist. Such actions include
investigations by members of management of the Company of the records and
facilities relating to the facility or business to be acquired, analysis of
existing investigations, analyses and compliance work done by the sellers and
commissioning its own studies, investigations or analyses.

         The Company monitors its various facilities and operations for
compliance with Environmental Laws and exposure to environmental claims,
including, where deemed necessary, the hiring of outside consultants to
conduct surveys and tests. When presented with a potential violation or
claim, the manager of the facility in question will, in coordination and
consultation with management of the Company, endeavor to establish the scope
and nature of the issue, and, if possible, resolve the issue without resort
to litigation or formal proceedings. The Company also undertakes an analysis
of the various indemnification obligations owed to it to ascertain which, if
any, would apply, and the procedures to be followed to perfect its rights
with respect to potential recoveries. Several members of management of the
Company have experience in dealing with such issues and take a leading role
in resolving issues that arise.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder
of Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc.:

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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial

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 Roller Bearing Company of
America, Inc. as of April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999, and the results of its

                     ROLLER BEARING COMPANY OF AMERICA, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          (ALL CURRENCIES IN THOUSANDS)

1.  ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc., ("RBC" or the "Company") is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Roller Bearing Holding Company, Inc. ("Holdings"). On March
31, 1992, Holdings acquired all of the outstanding shares of RBC pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. The acquisition was accounted for under
the purchase method of accounting. The excess of the purchase price ($20,100)
over the fair market value of the tangible net assets acquired by Holdings has
been pushed down and recorded as excess of cost over net assets acquired by the
Company.

The Company operates in one business segment in which it manufactures roller
bearing components and assembled parts and designs and manufactures
high-precision roller and ball bearings. The Company sells to a wide variety of
original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and distributors who are primarily
domestic but widely dispersed geographically.

On June 23, 1997, pursuant to a Redemption and Warrant Purchase dated May 20,
1997, Holdings effected a recapitalization of its outstanding capital stock
(including the financing and other transactions consummated by Holdings, the
Company and its subsidiaries in connection therewith, the "Recapitalization").
In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company issued the Senior
Subordinated Notes and incurred the Term Loans described in Note 5. The proceeds
therefrom were utilized to pay a dividend to Holdings to finance the redemption
of a substantial portion of its common stock, all of its preferred stock and
certain outstanding warrants to purchase common stock, and to pay certain
Recapitalization fees and expenses. This transaction was further financed from
the proceeds of certain debt issued directly by Holdings. In addition, a new
group of investors (who were not previously stockholders of Holdings) purchased
shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock of Holdings,
directly from certain stockholders of Holdings. The redemption of shares and
warrants was treated by Holdings as a recapitalization transaction.

Stockholders of Holdings owning approximately 7% of the outstanding voting
shares prior to the effective date of the Recapitalization, owned approximately
71% of the outstanding voting shares immediately following the Recapitalization.
The new group of investors referred to above owned the remaining 29% of the
voting shares at such time and thus are not controlling stockholders of either
Holdings or the Company. As a result, the transaction did not result in the
establishment of new bases in Holdings' or the Company's assets and liabilities.
Funds disbursed by Holdings and the Company were charged against their capital
accounts to the extent permitted by law.

2.  ACQUISITION OF WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARIES

In August 1997, Bremen Bearings, Inc. ("Bremen"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company, completed the acquisition of the Bremen Bearings Division of SKF
USA, Inc., a manufacturer of needle bearings with facilities in Bremen, Indiana.
The purchase was effective as of July 1, 1997. The acquisition was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. The total cost through April 1, 2000 of
$5,632 was subject to certain adjustments and subsequent conditions. The
purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based upon their respective estimated fair values.

On June 3, 1998, Miller Bearings, Inc. ("Miller"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company, completed the acquisition of the assets of Miller Bearing Company,
Inc., a manufacturer of pins, rollers and screw machine products with facilities
in Bremen, Indiana. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition, which was
effective as of March 1, 1998, was approximately $11,088. The acquisition was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, resulting in
approximately $2,139 allocable to tangible assets and $8,949 of excess of
purchase price over net assets acquired allocable to goodwill.


                                      F-7

<PAGE>

On June 11, 1999, Tyson, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the
acquisition of certain assets of SKF USA, Inc.'s taper roller bearing operations
whose principal operations are located in Glasgow, Kentucky. The aggregate
purchase price for the acquisition, which was effective as of April 1, 1999, was
$10,200 plus the assumption of certain liabilities. The acquisition was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

On December 17, 1999, Schaublin, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
completed an asset and stock purchase of Schaublin SA, a manufacturer of collets
and bearings whose principal operations are located in Delemont, Switzerland.
The acquisition was economically effective as of January 1, 1999. The earnings
of Schaublin for the period from January 1, 1999 through September 30, 1999
effectively reduced the aggregate purchase price for the acquisition to 14.0
million Swiss Francs, or approximately $8,830. The results of operations of
Schaublin for the period commencing October 1, 1999 are included in the results
of operations of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting.

The results of operations subsequent to the effective dates of acquisition are
included in the results of operations of the Company. Pro forma consolidated
results of operations of the Company, based upon pre-acquisition unaudited
historical information provided by the former owners for the years ended April
1, 2000, April 3, 1999 and March 28, 1998, as if the acquisitions took place on
March 28, 1997 are as follows (unaudited):

PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of plant and
equipment, including equipment under capital leases, is provided for by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (3 to 31 years) of the
respective assets or the lease term, if shorter. Amortization of assets under
capital leases is reported with depreciation. The cost of equipment under
capital leases is equal to the lower of the net present value of the minimum
lease payments or the fair market value of the leased equipment at the inception
of the lease.

Property, plant and equipment are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Revenue is recognized upon shipment of products and percentage of completion in
certain aerospace long-term projects at ITB. The Company sells to a large number
of OEMs and distributors who service the aftermarket. The Company's credit risk
associated with accounts receivable is minimized due to its customer base and
wide geographic dispersion. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of
its customers' financial condition, and bad debt losses have historically been
within the Company's expectations.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The excess of purchase price over the fair market value of tangible net assets
acquired is being amortized by the straight-line method over a 40-year period.

Deferred financing costs and related expenses are amortized by the effective
interest method over the lives of the related credit agreements (5 to 23 years).

INCOME TAXES

The Company is included in the consolidated tax return of Holdings and
calculates its provision for income taxes on a separate entity basis.

Income taxes are recognized during the year in which transactions occur and
enter into the determination of financial statement income, with deferred taxes
being provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts for tax purposes.
The differences relate primarily to the timing of deductions for depreciation,
goodwill amortization relating to the acquisition of operating divisions, basis
differences arising from acquisition accounting, pension and retirement
benefits, and various accrued and prepaid expenses. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recorded at the rates expected to be in effect when the
temporary differences reverse.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

IMPAIRMENT

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of". The Company periodically assesses the net


                                      F-9

<PAGE>

realizable value of its long-lived assets and evaluates such assets for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets to be held, impairment is
determined to exist if estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than
the carrying amount. For assets to be disposed of, impairment is determined to
exist if the estimated net realizable value is less than the carrying amount.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" was issued. This Statement, which was amended by SFAS No. 137,
becomes effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2001,
and establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives
as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
measure those instruments at fair value. The Company does not anticipate the
adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the financial
statements.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS

Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations (Schaublin) are
translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance
sheet date. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rate
prevailing throughout the period. The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on
translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars are
included in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of
Stockholder's equity, while gains and losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions are included in net income (loss).

4.  RESTRICTED MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Restricted marketable securities, which are classified as available for sale,
consist of short-term investments of $4,501 and $5,118 at April 1, 2000 and
April 3, 1999, respectively, which were purchased with proceeds from industrial
development revenue bonds issued by the Company during fiscal 2000, 1999 and
1995. The use of these investments is restricted primarily for capital
expenditure requirements in accordance with the applicable loan agreement and,
accordingly, are classified as long-term. These investments consist of highly
liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities
of three months or less, and are carried at market value, which approximates
cost. Fixed maturities consist of U.S. Treasury Notes and are stated at
amortized cost, which approximates market.

5.  DEBT

In connection with the financing of the Recapitalization disclosed in Note 1,
the Company issued $110,000 aggregate principal amount of 9 5/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes Due 2007 (the "Notes"). The Notes pay interest semi-annually
and mature on June 15, 2007, but may be redeemed at the Company's option
beginning on June 15, 2002, as well as, earlier under certain conditions
specified in the indenture (the "Indenture") pursuant to which the Notes were
issued. The Notes are unsecured and subordinate to all existing and future
Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) of the Company. The Notes are
fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed jointly and severally, on a
senior subordinated basis by each of the wholly owned subsidiaries of the
Company.

The separate financial statements of the subsidiary guarantors have not been
presented because management has determined that they would not be material to
investors. However, the summarized combined financial information of the
subsidiary guarantors are as follows:

Total current liabilities shown above of the subsidiary guarantors includes
intercompany liabilities of $22,266 and $26,717 as of April 1, 2000 and April 3,
1999, respectively. Income before extraordinary charge includes a provision for
income taxes of $5,932, $4,174 and $3,879 in fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Intercompany allocations have been eliminated in each fiscal year.

In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company entered into bank credit
facilities (the "Senior Credit Facilities") with a group of lenders providing
for $16,000 of term loans (the "Term Loans") and up to $54,000 of revolving
credit loans and letters of credit (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The
interest rate on the Term Loan is based on LIBOR plus 2.5%. The applicable
interest rate margin is determined on the first day of each fiscal period based
on the Company's leverage ratio, as defined. The rate in effect at April 1, 2000
was 8.78%.

In connection with the purchase of Schaublin, the Company entered into a bank
credit facility (the "Swiss Credit Facility) with Credit Suisse providing for
10,000 Swiss Francs, or approximately $6,031 of term loans (the "Swiss Term
Loans") and up to 1,000 Swiss Francs, or approximately $603, of revolving credit
loans and letters of credit (the "Swiss Revolving Credit Facility"). Also in
connection with the purchase of Schaublin, the Company entered into a two-year
term loan (the "Schaublin Loan") with the Seller for 1,222 Swiss Francs, or
approximately $737.

In connection with the purchase of Tyson, the company entered into a loan with
the former owner of Tyson for the purchase of certain leasehold improvements,
which are included in the Property, Plant and Equipment assets. This loan bears
interest at 9.0% and is paid monthly. The term of the loan is for 75 months, and
will end in June 2005.

At April 1, 2000, $19,204 of the Revolving Credit Facility was being utilized to
provide letters of credit to secure the Company's obligations relating to
certain Industrial Development Revenue Bonds ($18,778), described below, and
trade import letters of credit ($426). A letter of credit fee of 2.5% per annum
payable quarterly in arrears is required on the outstanding amount of the letter
of credit. As of April 1, 2000 the Company had the ability to borrow up to an
additional $24,296 under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings outstanding
under this facility as of April 1, 2000 were $10,500. A commitment fee of 0.5%
per annum payable quarterly in arrears is required on the unused portion of the
Revolving Credit Facility.

The Senior Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the Company's
assets. Under the terms of the Senior Credit Facility, the Company is required
to comply with various operational and financial covenants, including minimum
EBITDA, minimum fixed charge coverage, total interest coverage and maximum
leverage ratio.

In addition, the Senior Credit Facility places limitations on the Company's
capital expenditures in any fiscal year, restricts its ability to pay dividends,
requires the Company to obtain the lenders' consent to certain acquisitions and
contains mandatory prepayment provisions which include prepayments from the sale
of the Company's stock and 50% of excess cash flow, as defined. The Company
incurred approximately $7,605 of fees primarily related to costs associated with
the issuance of the Notes as well as the Senior Credit Facilities. These costs
have been capitalized as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over
the terms of the Notes and Term Loans.

Proceeds from these borrowings were used to repay certain existing indebtedness
as well as to pay a dividend to Holdings in order to consummate the
Recapitalization described in Note 1.

During fiscal 1995, the Company entered into a loan agreement with the South
Carolina Jobs Economic Development Authority ("SC JEDA") which provides for
borrowings up to $10,700 under two industrial development revenue bonds and
during fiscal 1999 the Company entered into an additional loan agreement with
the SC JEDA which provides for borrowings up to $3,000 under an industrial
development revenue bond (the "Bonds" or "IRBs"). Additionally, during fiscal
2000, the Company entered into a loan agreement with the California
Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank which provides for borrowings up to
$4,800 under an industrial development revenue bond. The proceeds from the


                                     F-11

<PAGE>

Bonds are restricted for working capital requirements and capital expenditure
purposes. As of April 1, 2000, $15,241 of the proceeds have been expended, and
the remaining $4,501 (including accumulated interest of $1,242) is invested by
the trustee in marketable securities. The SC JEDA Bonds are secured by an
irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit issued by one of the Company's lenders.
The letter of credit is equal to the aggregate principal amounts of the Bonds
plus not less than forty-five days' interest thereon, calculated at 12% per
annum ($13,899). The California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank
bond is likewise secured by an irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit issued by
one of the Company's lenders. The Company's obligation to its lenders is secured
pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Facility and is equal to the aggregate
principal amounts of the Bond plus not less than fifty days' interest thereon,
calculated at 12% per annum ($4,879).

7.  PENSION PLANS
At April 1, 2000, the Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans
covering union employees in its Heim division plant in Fairfield, Connecticut,
its Nice subsidiary plant in Kulpsville, Pennsylvania, its Bremen subsidiary
plant in Bremen, Indiana and its Tyson subsidiary plant in Glasgow, Kentucky.
Additionally, during 1998, the Company terminated a noncontributory defined
benefit pension plan covering union employees in its RBC plant in West Trenton,
New Jersey, effective May 31, 1997. The anticipated distribution of plan assets
was $5.0 million, of which $4.8 million had been distributed through April 1,
2000. The remaining $0.2 million is currently considered sufficient to fund any
final expenses.

Plan assets are comprised primarily of U.S. government securities, corporate
bonds, and stocks. The plans provide benefits of stated amounts based on a
combination of an employee's age and years of service.

The following tables set forth net periodic benefit cost of the Company's plans,

Benefits under the union plans are not a function of employees' salaries; thus,
the accumulated benefit obligation equals the projected benefit obligation.

In addition, the Company has a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of
the Internal Revenue Code for all of its employees not covered by a collective
bargaining agreement. The plan is funded by participants through employee
contributions and by Company contributions equal to a percentage of eligible
employee compensation. Employer contributions under this plan amounted to
$1,026, $1,439 and $627 in fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Effective September 1, 1996 the Company adopted a non-qualified supplemental
retirement plan ("SERP") for a select group of highly compensated management
employees designated by the Board of Directors of the Company. The SERP allows
eligible employees to elect to defer until termination of their employment the
receipt of up to 25% of their current salary. The Company makes contributions
equal to the lesser of 50% of the deferrals or 3.5% of the employees' annual
salary, which vest in full after three years of service following the effective
date of the SERP. Employer contributions under this plan amounted to $87, $64
and $25 in fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

8.  POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS

The Company, for the benefit of employees at its Heim, West Trenton, Nice and
Bremen facilities, sponsors contributory defined benefit health care plans that
provide postretirement medical benefits to union employees who have attained
certain age and/or service requirements while employed by the Company. The plans
are unfunded and costs are paid as incurred. Postretirement benefit obligations
are included in "Other noncurrent liabilities" within the Consolidated Balance
Sheets.

</TABLE>

The Company has contractually capped its liability for certain groups of future
retirees. As a result, there is no health care trend associated with these
groups. The effect of a 1% annual increase in the assumed cost trend rate would
increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately 1.2%
for these plans; the annual service and interest cost components in the
aggregate would not be materially affected. The discount rate used in
determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the plans was
7.75% for fiscal year 2000 and 7% for fiscal years 1999 and 1998.

In connection with the Recapitalization, as described in Note 1, Holdings issued
warrants to purchase 1,250 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, of Holdings at an exercise price of $514 per share to the Company's
Chairman. In addition, a new group of investors (who were not previously
stockholders of Holdings) were issued 6,731 warrants to purchase Class A Common
Stock of Holdings. In fiscal 1998, fiscal 1999 and fiscal 2000, an additional
340.5, 62 and 33.5 warrants were issued, respectively, to this new group of
investors in respect of an anti-dilution protection pursuant to issuance of
options under the stock option plan.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Management participates in Holdings' stock compensation plan. Holdings has
issued warrants to purchase shares of Class B Supervoting Common Stock to Dr.
Hartnett. All other warrants and options are to purchase Class A common stock.
Warrants and options issued to the Company's management as compensation become
vested and are exercisable in one-third annual increments commencing on the date
of award.

In June 1997, the terms of certain warrants held by the Company's management
were altered. A total of 7,024 options to purchase Class A Common Stock, which
would otherwise have expired in 2002, were extended to expire on June 23, 2007.
Additionally, 8,827 warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock held by Dr.
Hartnett were converted into 8,827 warrants to purchase Class B Common Stock.
These Class B Common Stock Warrants were extended to expire on June 23, 2007. In
connection with these transactions, compensation cost of $6.6 million arose
which has been recorded as operating expense.

<PAGE>

On February 9, 1998, the Company issued 1,728 options to acquire Class A
Common Stock to management and Board members. The term of the options are 10
years and they are exercisable at $514 per share, the estimated fair market
value at the time of grant. Additionally, a member of management departed
without exercising the vested portion of his 100 options.

In fiscal 1999, the Company issued 409.5 options to management (100 of which
were subsequently cancelled) to acquire Class A Common Stock. The term of the
options are 10 years and they are exercisable at $514 per share, the estimated
fair market value at the time of grant.

In fiscal 2000, the Company issued 167.5 options to acquire Class A Common Stock
to management. The term of the options are 10 years and they are exercisable at
$514 per share, the estimated fair market value at the time of grant.

</TABLE>

In addition to the compensation based warrants described above, there are 7,172
penny warrants and all such warrants are fully exercisable at April 1, 2000. The
fair value for the Holdings warrants was estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes warrant pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: risk free interest rate used was 5.7% for fiscal 2000 and 6.2% for
fiscal 1999 and 1998; dividend yields of 0%, volatility factors of expected
market price of Holdings common stock of .44% and a weighted-average expected
life of the warrants of three years.

The Black-Scholes warrant valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded warrants which have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable. In addition, warrant valuation models require the input of
highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
Because the Holdings warrants have characteristics significantly different from
those of traded warrants, and because changes in the subjective input
assumptions can materially affect the fair value, estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its warrants.

The Company enters into government contracts and subcontracts that are subject
to audit by the government. In the opinion of the Company's management, the
results of such audits, if any, are not expected to have a material impact on
the financial statements of the Company.

Certain types of property transactions in Connecticut and New Jersey may trigger
investigation and cleanup obligations under the Connecticut Transfer Act (the
"CTA") or the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act (the "ISRA"),
respectively. In connection with the purchase of its Fairfield, Connecticut
facility in 1996, the company was required by the CTA to submit an investigation
and rededication plan for known environmental contamination at that facility.
Although this known contamination had been the result of operations conducted by
the facility's prior owner, the Company agreed to assume responsibility for
completing cleanup efforts previously initiated by that owner. In 1996, the
Company submitted and obtained regulatory approval for its investigation and
remediation plan as required by the CTA The results of this investigation
revealed the continued presence of certain low level soil and groundwater
contamination, the remediation of which had been commenced by the previous owner
of the facility. In March 1998, the Company submitted these findings to
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection ("CTDEP"). In April 1999,
CTDEP responded to this submission and requested that the Company develop a
workplan for additional investigation, analysis and possible remediation to
address the isolated, low level residual contamination at this facility. While
the Company believes that its total investigation and cleanup costs will not
exceed $200, Connecticut regulators may require additional cleanup or monitoring
of the residual contamination at this facility. If such activities are required,
there can be no assurance that the Company's total investigation and remediation
costs will not exceed its $200 estimate.

The Company's Recapitalization in 1997 also triggered ISRA obligations at its
West Trenton facility, obligating the Company to investigate all possible past
hazardous substances releases, and to cleanup any resulting contamination, at
that facility. Under ISRA, investigation requirements for facilities that are
currently being remediated pursuant to an earlier ISRA-triggering transaction
may be merged into that ongoing ISRA investigation. In this case, the West
Trenton facility has been the subject of an ongoing ISRA (and its predecessor
statute) groundwater investigation and remediation by the facility's prior owner
since the Company's acquisition of the facility in 1987. Accordingly, the New
Jersey regulatory authorities have informed the Company that its ISRA
obligations triggered by the 1997 Recapitalization are being satisfied by the
prior owner's ongoing ISRA investigation and remediation. That investigation has
not found any additional contamination that would require remediation beyond
that which continues to be performed by the facility's prior owner.

There are various claims and legal proceedings against the Company relating to
its operations in the normal course of business, none of which the Company
believes is material. The Company currently maintains insurance coverage for
product liability claims. The Company is subject to various federal, state and
local environmental laws, ordinances and

regulations. State agencies are currently overseeing investigation and/or
remediation activities at various Company facilities. In addition, the previous
owners of certain facilities are undertaking cleanup and limited remediation in
each case in fulfillment of certain indemnification obligations. The Company
believes it is currently in substantial compliance with all applicable
requirements of environmental laws.

but had foreign sales of $9.5 million or 6.4% of the Company's total sales.

F.       EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE

The extraordinary charge for the year ended March 28, 1998 resulted from the
write off of unamortized deferred financing costs due to the Company's early
extinguishment of debt in connection with the Recapitalization. The
extraordinary charge was $1,059 and is reflected net of the related tax benefit
of $434.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

         Effective, February 18, 1998, Holdings adopted the Roller Bearing
Holding Company, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"). The terms of
the Stock Option Plan provide for the grant of options to purchase up to
3,569.346 shares of Class A Common Stock to officers and employees of, and
consultants (including members of the board of directors) to, Holdings and its
subsidiaries. Options granted may be either incentive stock options (under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code) or non-qualified stock options. The
Stock Option Plan, which expires on December 31, 2008, is to be governed by the
board of directors of Holdings (the "Holdings Board"), or a committee to which
the Board delegates its responsibilities.

         The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to provide incentives which
will attract and retain highly competent persons as officers, employees and
directors of, and consultants to, Holdings and its subsidiaries, by providing
them opportunities to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock.

         The exercise price of options granted under the Stock Option Plan shall
be determined by the Board, but in no event less than 100% of the Fair Market
Value (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) of the Class A Common Stock on the
date of grant.

         Options granted under the Stock Option Plan may be exercised during the
period set forth in the agreement pursuant to which the options are granted, but
in no event more than ten (10) years following grant.

         Incentive stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan may only be
granted to employees of Holdings and subject to further limitations set forth in
the Stock Option Plan.

         The number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which options may be
granted under the Stock Option Plan shall be increased, and the number of shares
for which outstanding options shall be exercisable, and the exercise price
thereof, shall be adjusted upon the happening of stock dividends, stock splits,
recapitalizations and certain other capital events regarding Holdings or the
Class A Common Stock.

<PAGE>

Upon any merger, consolidation or combination of Holdings where shares of
Class A Common Stock are converted into cash securities or other property,
outstanding options shall be converted into the right to receive upon
exercise the consideration as would have been payable in exchange for the
shares of Class A Common Stock underlying such options had such options been
exercised prior to such event.

         Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are not transferable by the
holders thereof except by the laws of descent and distribution.

         The Holdings Board shall have the right to establish such rules and
regulations concerning the Stock Option Plan, and to make such determinations
and interpretations of the terms thereof as it deems necessary or advisable.

         As of June 27, 2000, there were outstanding options to purchase 2,238.5
shares of Class A Common Stock granted under the Stock Option Plan, of which
options to purchase 754.45  shares were exercisable as of such date.

401(k) PLAN

         The Company maintains the Roller Bearing Company of America 401(k)
Retirement Plan (the "401(k) Plan"), a plan established pursuant to Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, for the benefit of its non-union employees.
All non-union employees who have completed six months of service with the
Company are entitled to participate. Subject to various limits, employees are
entitled to defer up to 15% of their annual salary on a pre-tax basis and up to
an additional 10% of their annual salary on an after tax basis. The Company
matches 50% of an employee's pre-tax contribution up to 10% of annual salary.
The Company may also make discretionary contributions that are allocated among
eligible accounts pro rata based upon salary. Employees vest in the Company's
contributions ratably over three years.

SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN

         Effective September 1, 1996, the Company adopted a non-qualified
supplemental retirement plan ("SERP") for a select group of highly compensated
and management employees designated by the Board of Directors of the Company.
The SERP allows eligible employees to elect to defer until termination of their
employment the receipt of up to 25% of their current salary. The Company makes
contributions equal to the lesser of 50% of the deferrals or 3.5% of the
employee's annual salary, which vest in full after three years of service
following the effective date of the SERP. Accounts are paid, either in a lump
sum or installments, upon retirement, death or termination of employment.
Accounts are generally payable from the general assets of the Company although
it is intended that the Company set aside in a "rabbi trust" invested in annuity
contracts amounts necessary to pay benefits. Employees' rights to receive
payments are subject to the rights of the creditors of the Company.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

         In fiscal 2000, there was no compensation committee of the Board of
Directors of Holdings (the "Board"). No member of the Board was involved in an
interlocking relationship or insider participation with respect to the
compensation committee of any other entity.
