BUSINESS STRATEGY AND MARKET DEVELOPMENT

The Company's business strategy is to capitalize on the opportunities for growth
in its core businesses by increasing its penetration of existing markets through
acquisitions and expanding into new markets by introducing new products and
services.

SERVICES GROUP

As a primary provider of aftermarket services for a large installed base of
machine tools, the Company believes it has a strong competitive position in
providing replacement parts, field repair and remanufacturing services for the
DeVlieg, Bullard, American Tool, Brown & Sharpe, Futurmill, New Britain Machine,
Rockford and White- Sundstrand tradenames. However, the installed base of these
machine tools is expected to decrease gradually over time as older machine tools
historically serviced by the Company are retired from service. The Services
Group's business strategy includes expanding to other machine tool brands, by
acquiring other machine tool companies and by introducing engineered
productivity improvements which prolong the life of installed base equipment.

On November 30, 1994, the Company purchased H.B. Industries, Inc. which conducts
its business as Ed Smith Machinery Sales. The acquisition complements the
Company's existing line of Bullard products, parts and services and strengthens
the Services Group's position in the automotive market. See Note 2 of Notes to
the Company Financial Statements.



                                      3


<PAGE>   4



On January 23, 1995, the Company acquired essentially all of the assets of
Mideastern, Inc. which has been an important provider of field and
remanufacturing services and aftermarket replacement parts for New Britain
Machine automatic screw machines since it was founded in 1986. The acquisition
of Mideastern, Inc., and the addition of its four former owners, strengthens the
Services Group's New Britain Machine parts remanufacturing capability and adds
field service expertise to the services provided to the New Britain Machine
customer base. See Note 2 of Notes to the Company Financial Statements.

NATIONAL ACME

On October 23, 1995, the Company purchased The National Acme Company, a leading
manufacturer of original equipment multiple spindle bar and chucking machines,
as well as a supplier of related aftermarket parts and service. See Note 2 of
Notes to the Company Financial Statements.

National Acme's reputation has been based on building the most durable multiple
spindle automatic bar and chucking machines in the world. This has resulted in a
large installed base of machines around the world, including machines built by
three licensees spanning over 50 years. National Acme's business strategy
includes increased emphasis on international markets, as well as cost reductions
in its aftermarket parts business.

TOOLING SYSTEMS GROUP

The primary strategy for Tooling Systems is to gain market share in its product
lines through continued emphasis on the acquisition of additional tooling
companies and by providing superior customer service, including product quality,
delivery and application engineering. To further its ability to distribute
Microbore products, Tooling Systems opened a sales and warehousing facility in
the United Kingdom in fiscal 1991 and began distribution in Mexico during fiscal
1993 and in Asian markets during fiscal 1995. New product introductions have
enhanced Tooling Systems' product offerings and are important to its market
development.

On September 9, 1994, the Company acquired certain assets of Cushman Industries,
Inc., a manufacturer of work holding devices including manual chucks, power
chucks and special order work holding systems. See Note 2 of Notes to the
Company Financial Statements.

INDUSTRIAL GROUP

COMPETITION

SERVICES GROUP

The market for aftermarket products and services for the machine tools serviced
by the Company is competitive, with competition from numerous independent parts,
service and rebuild suppliers with various sales and resource levels. Management
believes the Company has a competitive advantage with respect to the DeVlieg,
Bullard, American Tool, Brown & Sharpe, Futurmill, New Britain Machine, Rockford
and White- Sundstrand brand machine tools because the Company owns an estimated
200,000 drawings and all other documents and customer lists related to such
machine tools, and employs skilled personnel who have been trained for and have
experience with these products. As a result, management believes the Services
Group has a dominant market share with respect to providing services for these
brands of machine tools.

Principal competitive factors for the Services Group's products and services are
customer service and technical support, delivery times, price and proprietary
technology.

NATIONAL ACME

National Acme was inventor of the multiple spindle automatic bar and chucking
machines in 1896. Since that time, National Acme has sold more multiple spindle
automatics than any other company. The market is competitive with competition
coming from a number of companies both domestically and internationally. The
Company believes National Acme's competitive advantages are based on the
durability of its machines, the large installed base of machines and its
technical expertise. To complement its durability, National Acme has developed a
new high precision design with a unique carrier holding feature, which allows
customers to produce parts with substantially increased accuracy at faster
speeds. The new design will provide advantages with both its accuracy and speed.

A large number of small companies compete in the Aftermarket business. Principal
competitive factors are proprietary technology, technical support, delivery and
price.

TOOLING SYSTEMS GROUP

The market for Tooling Systems' product lines is highly competitive. There are a
number of companies which manufacture precision tool holding devices and other
products within Tooling Systems' product lines that have greater sales and
financial resources than the Company. However, management believes that Tooling
Systems is one of the largest domestic manufacturers whose primary focus is on
the design and manufacture of precision tool holding, boring, electronic tool
management system and work holding products. Principal competitive factors for
precision tooling products are product quality, delivery, service and price.

INDUSTRIAL GROUP

The market for Powermatic products is also highly competitive, with substantial
competition from both domestic and foreign manufacturers, many of which have
significantly greater sales and financial resources than the Company. Principal
competitive factors for Powermatic's product lines include product quality,
delivery, service and price.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

The Company possesses rights to over 200 domestic and foreign patents and
trademarks relating to its businesses. While the Company considers its patents
and trademarks important in the operation of its business, its business is not
dependent on any single patent or trademark or group of patents or trademarks.
However, the Company considers the following trademarks to be important to its
business: Acme-Gridley(R), American Tool(R), Artisan(R), Belsaw(R), Brown &

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company, and the industry in which it competes, are subject to environmental
laws and regulations concerning emissions to the air, discharges to waterways,
and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of
waste materials. These laws and regulations are constantly evolving and the
Company cannot predict accurately the effect they will have on the Company in
the future. It is the Company's policy to comply with all applicable
environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. In many instances, the
implementing regulations have not been finalized. Even where regulations have
been adopted, they are subject to varying and conflicting interpretations and
implementation. In some cases, compliance can only be achieved by capital
expenditures. The Company cannot accurately predict what capital expenditures,
if any, may be required.

Management believes that all operations conducted by the Company are in all
material respects in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations
relating to environmental matters.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On March 2, 1992, a purported class action suit was filed in the United States
District Court for the District of Connecticut against the Company, Stanwich Oil
& Gas, Inc., the First Boston Corporation and certain of the Company's officers
and directors. The suit alleged violations of the federal securities laws and
state and federal common law in connection with alleged misrepresentations and
omissions made by the Company in connection with its initial public offering in
March 1990 and in certain reports later issued by the Company. While management
believes the allegations were without merit, in March 1996 the Company and all
the remaining defendants, collectively, reached a settlement of the suit with
representatives of the purported class. Under the terms of the settlement, the
defendants collectively would pay a total of approximately $1.5 million over
approximately five months. The Company accrued $2.4 million in fiscal 1996 for
the settlement and related litigation costs. The settlement was approved by the
court at a hearing on July 19, 1996. Management believes the settlement to be in
the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

On November 3, 1995, a jury rendered a verdict against the Company in the net
amount of approximately $1.3 million, plus interest, relating to a civil suit
filed against the Company in Supreme Court for the State of New York, County of
Erie, styled Watson Bowman Acme Corp. v. DeVlieg-Bullard, Inc. A final
determination of the amount of the judgment has not been made at this time. The
plaintiff had alleged losses resulting from a breach of contract by the Company,
as successor to DeVlieg-Lyons Integrated Systems, Inc., in connection with the
delivery to the plaintiff of a CNC Milling Machine. The suit was originally
filed on November 21, 1991. The Company had countersued for the remaining
balance due under the contract of approximately $280 thousand.

The Company believes that the jury's verdict in this case failed to consider
material evidence in the case that indicates that the Company was not in breach
of the contract; a Notice of Appeal was filed on February 9, 1996. No assurance
can be given that such appeal will be successful. Accordingly, the Company made
an accrual in fiscal 1996 in the amount of $2.2 million for the jury's verdict,
plus interest and other costs.

As disclosed in "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" under the caption "Financing and
Investing," on April 12, 1996, the Company obtained a new term loan in the
amount of $3.0 million to assist in the financing of the above litigation costs.
The Company does not believe that the expected outcome of these legal
proceedings will have any future material adverse impact on the results of
operations, liquidity or financial condition of the Company.

The Company is also involved in litigation and proceedings, including product
liability claims, in the ordinary course of its business. The Company does not
believe that the outcome of such litigation will have a material adverse effect
upon the Company, after taking into account any proceeds of available insurance.

    Industries, Inc. On November 30, 1994, the Company acquired H.B. Industries,
    Inc. On January 23, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the
    assets of Mideastern, Inc. These acquisitions were accounted for as
    purchases. See Note 2 of Notes to the Company Financial Statements.

    Fiscal 1995 also includes nonrecurring charges of $1,500 for a litigation
    settlement.

(c) On November 24, 1992, the Company sold the assets of its Penberthy, Inc. 
    subsidiary. Accordingly, Penberthy has been reflected as a discontinued
    operation for periods presented and fiscal 1993 and 1992 results of
    operations have been restated, but assets and capital have not been
    restated.

(d) Effective August 1, 1992, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard
    No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
    Pensions." As a result, the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of
    $4,588 representing the cumulative effect of this accounting change and
    increased expenses for postretirement benefits by $191 for the 1993 fiscal
    year. Also, effective August 1, 1992, the Company adopted Financial
    Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

    On March 23, 1993, the Company acquired the Brown & Sharpe grinding machine
    business from Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Company. The acquisition was
    accounted for as a purchase.

(e) Fiscal 1992 includes nonrecurring charges of $6,392 related to certain 
    restructuring activities. Additionally, charges of $3,545 related to
    inventory obsolescence were included in cost of sales.

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

Summarized below is a discussion of the results of operations of the Company,
including its Services, National Acme, Tooling Systems and Industrial operating
groups. Amounts are expressed in thousands, except per share data.

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS
Fiscal 1996 was a year of growth in sales and earnings for the Company. The
Company also continued to benefit from the cost reduction and process
improvement programs undertaken in fiscal years 1992-1996. In addition to modest
growth in the Company's operating groups, the National Acme acquisition, which
occurred during the year, contributed $29,570 in sales and $2,949 in operating
profit to the overall results. In addition, the Company's balance sheet has
changed materially from the prior year as a result of the inclusion of the
accounts of National Acme.

ACQUISITION  (See Note 2 of Notes to the Company Financial Statements)
On October 23, 1995, the Company purchased The National Acme Company. National
Acme, located in Cleveland, Ohio, is a leading manufacturer of multiple spindle
automatic bar and chucking machines, marketed under the trade name Acme-Gridley,
as well as a supplier of related aftermarket parts and services. This
acquisition further strengthens the Company's original equipment offerings and
provides a base for further growth of the original equipment and related parts
and service business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth selected items from the Statements of Operations
as a percentage of the Company's net sales for the periods indicated. The
discussion which follows should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

FISCAL 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1995.

SALES
Net sales for fiscal 1996 were $113,314 compared to $78,150 for fiscal 1995, an
increase of $35,164, or 45.0%. The acquisition of National Acme added $29,570 to
net sales. Net sales for fiscal 1996 for the Services Group increased $4,316, or
12.4%, and the Industrial Group increased $1,539, or 6.9%, while the Tooling
Systems Group had a slight decrease of $261, or approximately 1%.

GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for fiscal 1996 was $31,459 compared to $22,155 in fiscal 1995, an
increase of $9,304, or 42.0%. The increase is primarily the result of the
acquisition of National Acme, which added $8,163 in gross profit. The Services
Group increased $1,264, or 11.4%, and the Industrial Group increased $628, or
12.1%, offset by a reduction in gross profit in the Tooling Systems Group of
$751. Gross profit as a percent of sales was 27.8% in fiscal 1996 as compared
with 28.3% in fiscal 1995. The decrease in gross margin as a percent of net
sales is primarily due to the decline in the Tooling Systems Group, which was
24.3% in fiscal 1996 as compared with 27.6% in fiscal 1995, primarily due to the
assimilation of the Cushman business acquired in fiscal 1995.

E S G & A EXPENSES
E S G & A expenses in fiscal 1996 were $23,273 compared to $17,584 in the prior
year, an increase of $5,689. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of
National Acme, which increased E S G & A expenses by $5,214. Fiscal 1995 amounts
also included a $372 charge for unsuccessful acquisition costs. As a percent of
net sales, E S G & A expenses were 20.5% compared with 22.5% in the prior year.

OTHER EXPENSES
Other income was $49 in fiscal 1996, compared to $334 in fiscal 1995. The fiscal
1995 income includes a $305 gain on the sale of land held for disposition.



                                      13


<PAGE>   14



NONRECURRING CHARGES
Litigation expenses of $4,600 were recorded during fiscal 1996. Of these
expenses, $2,200 relates to an adverse judgment rendered in a breach of contract
suit included in the Services Group results. Although the Company accrued for
the full jury verdict, plus interest and other legal costs, it has filed a
Notice of Appeal against the verdict on the grounds that the jury's verdict was
against the weight of the evidence. The balance of $2,400 is for legal costs
incurred in connection with the settlement of the class action suit filed in
1992. The litigation alleged violations of the federal securities laws and state
and federal common law in connection with the Company's initial public offering
in March 1990. The Company, Stanwich Oil & Gas, Inc., the First Boston
Corporation and certain of the Company's officers and directors were included as
defendants in the suit. While management believes the allegations in the lawsuit
were without merit, the Company agreed to settlement to avoid continued
litigation costs related to the suit. See "Item 3 - Legal Proceedings." See also
Note 10 of Notes to the Company Financial Statements for a discussion of the
Class B Stock Purchase Warrants.

The Company incurred a $1,500 litigation settlement charge in fiscal 1995. The
litigation had sought in excess of $10 million in damages and alleged violations
of state fraudulent conveyance statutes in connection with the acquisition by
the Company of certain assets of DeVlieg, Inc., in September 1988 and March
1990. The Company, certain of its present and former officers and directors and
several unrelated third parties were included as defendants in the suit. While
management believed the allegations in the lawsuit were without merit, the
Company agreed to settlement to avoid continued litigation costs related to the
suit.

OPERATING INCOME
Operating income was $3,635 in fiscal 1996, compared with $3,405 in fiscal 1995.
Fiscal 1996 results included nonrecurring litigation costs of $4,600, while
fiscal 1995 results included nonrecurring litigation costs of $1,500, as well as
costs for an unsuccessful acquisition of $372 recorded in operating expenses and
a gain of $305 on the sale of land held for disposal.

National Acme added $3,135 to operating income during fiscal 1996, while the
other business segments had operating income as follows: Services Group - $3,295
($5,495 before the allocation of nonrecurring litigation costs related to a
breach of contract suit); Tooling Systems Group - $1,064; and Industrial Group -
$1,155. Corporate expenses were $5,014 (or $2,614 without nonrecurring
litigation costs related to the class action lawsuit). During fiscal 1995, the
business segments had operating income as follows: Services Group - $4,492;
Tooling Systems Group - $1,821; and Industrial Group - $701. Corporate expenses
were $3,609 (or $2,042 without nonrecurring costs mentioned above).The Services
Group (without the nonrecurring litigation charge) and Powermatic had increases
in operating income as a percent of sales as a result of cost reductions and
leverage from higher sales against fixed costs. The Tooling Systems Group had a
decline in operating income as a percent to sales as a result of inefficiencies
resulting from the assimilation of the Cushman business acquired in fiscal 1995.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was $4,404 in fiscal 1996 compared to $2,594 in fiscal 1995, an
increase of $1,810. The increase in interest expense is attributable to a higher
outstanding debt balance, primarily due to the acquisition of National Acme (see
Note 2 of Notes to the Company Financial Statements) and higher effective
interest rates.

INCOME TAXES
The income tax benefit was $52 and $582 for fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The income tax benefit recorded in fiscal 1996 relates to the loss recorded in
fiscal 1996 as a result of the litigation expenses for the year. The fiscal 1995
tax benefit is primarily due to the Company's release of $2,962 of its valuation
allowance previously recorded against deferred tax assets. This amount was
released based on expectations of continued profitability. Of the released
valuation allowance, $1,189 was included in the benefit for income taxes on the
statement of operations and $1,773 was credited to the balance sheet account
"Excess purchase price over net assets from the Services Group acquisition."

FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994.

SALES
Net sales for fiscal 1995 were $78,150 compared to $63,619 for fiscal 1994, an
increase of $14,531, or 22.8%, reflecting increases in all of the Company's
operating groups. The increase in net sales by operating group consisted of
$6,653, or 23.7%, in the Services Group; $4,369, or 25.9%, in the Tooling
Systems Group; and $3,509, or 18.8%, in the Industrial Group. The Industrial
Group increase is especially noteworthy given that a three-week strike reduced
sales by an estimated $700 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995. The
Industrial Group entered into a new collective bargaining agreement with the
United Steelworkers of America, which expires on July 1, 1998. Fiscal 1995
results include additions from acquired businesses as follows: Cushman added
$3,494 to the Tooling Systems Group and Ed Smith and Mideastern added $1,161 and




                                      14


<PAGE>   15



$2,995, respectively, to the Services Group. Excluding the sales added by
acquired business, the Services Group net sales increased $2,497, or 8.9%,
compared to the prior year, reflecting increases in its Parts and
Remanufacturing Operations. The Tooling Systems Group's net sales, excluding the
addition from Cushman, were $875, or 5.2%, higher than fiscal 1994.

GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for fiscal 1995 was $22,155 compared to $18,079 in fiscal 1994, an
increase of $4,076, or 22.6%, reflecting increases in each operating group.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 28.3% and 28.4% in fiscal 1995 and
1994, respectively, with increases in the Services Group, offset by declines in
the Tooling Systems and Industrial Groups.

E S G & A EXPENSES
E S G & A expenses in fiscal 1995 were $17,584, or 22.5% of net sales, compared
to $15,309, or 24.1% of net sales, in fiscal 1994. E S G & A expenses in fiscal
1995 exceeded prior year levels due to the higher sales volume and costs added
by acquired businesses, in addition to $372 costs related to an unsuccessful
acquisition.

OTHER EXPENSES
Other income was $334 in fiscal 1995 compared with income of $62 in fiscal 1994.
The fiscal 1995 amount includes a $305 gain on the sale of land held for
disposition.

NONRECURRING CHARGES
In the second quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company settled for $1,500 a civil
suit filed by a committee of unsecured creditors of DeVlieg, Inc. and
debtor-in-possession, DeVlieg, Inc.

OPERATING INCOME
Operating income was $3,405 in fiscal 1995 compared with $2,832 in fiscal 1994.
Fiscal 1995 results included nonrecurring litigation costs of $1,500, as well as
costs for an unsuccessful acquisition of $372 recorded in operating expenses and
a gain of $305 on the sale of land held for disposal.

The business segments had operating income in fiscal 1995 as follows: Services
Group - $4,492; Tooling Systems Group - $1,821; and Industrial Group - $701.
Corporate expenses were $3,609 (or $2,042 without nonrecurring costs mentioned
above). During fiscal 1994 the business segments had operating income as
follows: Services Group - $2,474; Tooling Systems Group - $1,633; and Industrial
Group - $536. Corporate expenses were $1,811. The Services Group increase over
fiscal 1994 is primarily the result of the fiscal 1995 acquisitions, but also a
result of improved profitability due to cost reductions. Powermatic had
increases in operating income as a percent of sales as a result of cost
reductions and leverage from higher sales against fixed costs. While Tooling
Systems Group had an increase in operating income, as a percent to sales they
were below the prior year as a result of inefficiencies resulting from the
assimilation of the Cushman business acquired during the year.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was $2,594 in fiscal 1995 compared to $1,345 in fiscal 1994, an
increase of $1,249. The increase in interest expense was due to higher average
outstanding debt balances, primarily due to acquisitions, and higher effective
interest rates, particularly on the Company's subordinated debentures which were
issued in May 1994.

INCOME TAXES
The fiscal 1995 income tax benefit was $582 compared to a $92 benefit in fiscal
1994. The fiscal 1995 income tax benefit is primarily due to the Company's
release in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 of $2,962 of its valuation
allowance previously recorded against deferred tax assets. This amount was
released based on expectations of continued profitability. Of the released
valuation allowance, $1,189 was included in the benefit for income taxes on the
statement of operations and $1,773 was credited to the balance sheet account
"Excess purchase price over net assets from the Services Group acquisition."

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

CASH FLOWS
Historically, the Company's continuing operations have been financed by
internally generated funds. Acquisitions have been funded with increases in
indebtedness, while funds from divestitures have generally been used to reduce
indebtedness (see Note 2 of Notes to the Company Financial Statements).

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,494 in fiscal 1996 compared to
$1,363 in fiscal 1995, an increase of $2,131. Included in these results is
$2,329 in payments made against the $4,600 accrued for



                                       15


<PAGE>   16



litigation settlement (see "Item 3 - Legal Proceedings"). Net of these items,
cash flow from operating activities would have been $5,823.

Cash used for capital expenditures was $1,138, $970 and $1,020, in fiscal 1996,
1995, and 1994, respectively. The Company currently has no material commitments
for specific capital expenditures.

Cash of $10,656 was used in fiscal 1996 for the National Acme acquisition.
During fiscal 1995, $12,151 of cash was used for acquisitions.

FINANCING AND INVESTING
The balance outstanding under the Company's revolving credit agreement was
$19,195 at July 31, 1996, compared to $12,115 at July 31, 1995. Long-term debt,
including current maturities, at July 31, 1996, was $18,107, compared to $15,788
at July 31, 1995, an increase of $2,319. The Company's total indebtedness was
$37,302 and $27,903 at July 31, 1996, and 1995, respectively, an increase of
$9,399. Cash and equivalents at July 31, 1996 was $768, an increase of $353
compared to July 31, 1995. Net cash provided by financing activities was $8,672
in fiscal 1996 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $10,004
in the prior year.

As outlined in Notes 7 and 8 of Notes to the Company Financial Statements, the
Company entered into a new $30,000 senior debt facility in October 1995, which
consisted of a $25,000 revolving credit agreement and a $5,000 term loan. The
term loan requires monthly principal payments of $86 that began November 30,
1995. Borrowings under this facility were used to repay the then existing senior
debt facility, to finance the National Acme acquisition (see Note 2 of Notes to
the Company Financial Statements) and to provide for working capital
requirements. On April 12, 1996, the Company obtained a new term loan in the
amount of $3,000 to assist in the financing of the litigation costs (See "Item 3
- Legal Proceedings") and increased the senior credit facility to $32,000. The
new term loan requires monthly principal payments of $83 that began June 30,
1996. The term loans require payments through September 30, 1998, with final
payments totalling $2,667 due on October 23, 1998.

The new senior debt facility aggregating approximately $32,000 at July 31, 1996,
is comprised of $7,063 in term loans and a revolving credit agreement which
provides for borrowings up to $24,699. Interest on the term loans is payable
monthly at 1.25% above prime rate or, at the Company's option, at alternative
rates based on LIBOR. The effective rate based on LIBOR was 8.75% at July 31,
1996. As of July 31, 1996, the Company's new revolving credit agreement, which
matures on October 23, 1998, subject to renewal, permits borrowings of up to
$24,699 subject to collateral maintenance requirements. Interest on outstanding
borrowings under the revolving credit agreement is payable monthly in arrears at
1% above the prime rate or, at the Company's option, at alternative rates based
on LIBOR. The effective rate based on LIBOR was 8.5% at July 31, 1996. The
amount the Company may borrow under the revolving credit agreement is based upon
a formula related to the Company's eligible accounts receivable and inventories,
reduced by outstanding letters of credit. Unused borrowings available at July
31, 1996, were $2,692, after reduction for funds reserved for settlement of the
litigation costs discussed above.

Pursuant to the Subordinated debt facility, the Company issued Subordinated
Debentures in May 1994 in the principal amount of $12,000. Of this amount,
$4,000 was replaced by Junior Subordinated Debt (see Note 8 of Notes to the
Company Financial Statements). Interest payments on the Subordinated Debentures
of 11.5% per annum are payable quarterly in arrears commencing July 1, 1994. The
Subordinated Debentures provide for the repayment of principal of $2,000 in
fiscal 1999 and fiscal 2000 and $4,000 in fiscal 2001. Interest on the Junior
Subordinated Debt accrues at 14.5%, and the cash interest of 11% per annum is
payable quarterly in arrears commencing January 1, 1996. The Junior Subordinated
Debt provides for the repayment of principal of $4,000 and unpaid interest in
June 2001 or thirty days after the payment of the Subordinated Debentures.

In connection with the issuance of the Subordinated Debentures in May 1994, the
Company issued the holders warrants to purchase one million shares of the
Company's common stock at $0.01 per share, which were valued at $1,750, and a
presently indeterminable number of additional shares at $0.01 per share, which
became available based upon the settlement of certain legal proceedings (see
Note 10 of Notes to the Company Financial Statements). In addition, in
connection with the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Debt and refinancing of
the senior credit facility, the Company issued 500 additional Class A and 750
Class C stock purchase warrants (see Note 10 of Notes to the Company Financial
Statements). These were valued at $1,750.

The Company expects to continue to provide liquidity and finance its ongoing
operational needs primarily through internally generated funds.

OUTLOOK
The following discussion includes certain forward-looking statements. Actual
results could differ materially from those reflected by the forward-looking
statements contained in this document and a number of factors may affect future
results, liquidity and capital resources. These factors include: the fact that
the Company derives a substantial portion of its sales from cyclical industries,
including the automotive, aerospace and housing industries; the ability to
introduce new products in a timely fashion; the pace of technological changes
effecting the products manufactured and services provided by the Company; the
Company's substantial debt service requirements, much of which is based on
variable rates; the dependence of the Company's growth on acquisitions and the
Company's ability to finance such acquisitions and to profitably integrate the
acquired operations; the level of margins achievable in the markets served by
the Company; and the ability to continue to minimize operating expenses.
Although the Company believes it has the business strategy and resources needed
for improved operations, future sales and margin trends cannot be reliably
predicted.

During the past two fiscal years, the Company has recorded pre-tax charges of
$6,100 to accrue for or settle three separate lawsuits which preceded or
resulted from the initial public offering in March 1990. At this time, the
Company is not a party to any legal proceeding the outcome of which, in
management's opinion, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated results of operations or financial position.

The Company actively seeks to expand by acquisition, as well as through the
growth of its present businesses. A significant acquisition would require
additional borrowings. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able
to obtain financing on acceptable terms.

IMPACT OF INFLATION
Management does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on the
Company's net sales or net income during the last three fiscal years. Borrowings
under the senior credit facility bear interest at short-term rates. Increases in
the prevailing rate of inflation could be accompanied by increases in short-term
interest rates, which could have an adverse impact on the Company's net income
and cash flow.

Supplemental schedule of non-cash investing and financing information:

During fiscal 1996, the Company assumed liabilities in the amount of $38,781 in
connection with the acquisition of The National Acme Company.

During fiscal 1995, the Company issued $1,277 of debt and assumed liabilities in
the amount of $1,048 in connection with the acquisitions (see Note 2).

In Connection with the consent by the holders of the $12,000 principal amount of
subordinated debentures to the acquisition of National Acme and to the
refinancing of the Company's senior credit facility and to the refinancing of
$4,000 principal amount of such subordinated debentures, the Company issued
stock purchase warrants valued at $1,750. Such amount was credited to Additional
paid-in capital and charged as a discount to subordinated debentures, reducing
the carrying value of the debentures (see Notes 8 and 10).

During fiscal 1994, the Company issued subordinated debentures with detachable
stock purchase warrants. The fair market value of the warrants aggregated
$1,750. Such amount was credited to Additional paid-in capital and charged as a
discount to subordinated debentures, reducing the carrying value of the
debentures (see Notes 8 and 10).

The amortization of the debt discount was $342, $190 and $25 in fiscal 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

The Company's tax benefit related to the excess purchase price from the Services
Group acquisition reduces the Company's income tax liability (see Note 1). Such
amount included in fiscal 1996 and 1995 and 1994 is $0, $1,773, and $2,635
respectively.

During fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company entered into capital leases for
equipment totaling $471, $0, and $253 respectively, which were financed by
capital lease obligations.

                  NOTES TO THE COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS
DeVlieg-Bullard, Inc. (the "Company"), is a diversified industrial concern
specializing in manufacturing, servicing, upgrading, automating and
remanufacturing precision engineered machine tools. The Company also
manufactures sophisticated original and replacement tooling products used in
industrial machine tools and a variety of power tools for niche industrial
markets. The Company conducts its business through four operating groups: the
Services Group, National Acme, the Tooling Systems Group and the Industrial
Group.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements include all accounts of the Company after elimination
of all significant interdivision transactions and balances. Certain amounts in
the fiscal 1995 and 1994 financial statements have been reclassified to conform
with the fiscal 1996 presentation. Amounts, except per share data, are expressed
in thousands.

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

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company invests excess funds in
short-term, interest-bearing obligations. When a balance is outstanding on the
Company's revolving credit agreement, all available cash is used to decrease
such outstanding balance.

INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being
determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Cost includes material, labor and
manufacturing overhead. Approximately 40% of the total inventory value is
determined on the basis of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory
accounting.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Cost represents estimated
fair market value at date of acquisition for acquired businesses, or the
predecessor entity's net book value if acquired by the Company from a related
party. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
ranging from three to thirty-one years, by the straight-line method. Assets
recorded under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized over the
shorter of their useful lives or the term of the related leases by use of the
straight-line method. Depreciation for tax purposes is calculated in accordance
with applicable Internal Revenue Code provisions.

OTHER ASSETS
Intangible assets, consisting of engineering drawings and bills of material for
parts and machine assemblies, are amortized over their estimated useful lives,
ranging from ten to thirty years, using the straight-line method. Goodwill, the
excess of purchase price over net assets acquired, is amortized over the
estimated useful lives, ranging from fifteen to thirty years. Deferred financing
costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, which is not materially different
from the effective interest method, over the life of the related indebtedness.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in
effect on reporting dates, and income and expenses are translated at rates in
effect on transaction dates. The resulting differences due to changing exchange
rates are charged or credited directly to the "Cumulative translation
adjustment" account included as part of stockholders' equity.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue recognized on long-term contracts is based on the
percentage-of-completion method based on costs incurred as a percentage of
estimated total costs of individual contracts. Anticipated losses are recognized
when they become known. Estimated costs to complete are reviewed monthly and
revisions in estimated profits are made, if necessary. Deferred revenue from
noncompetition agreements is recognized over the contractual period of the
agreement, generally five years. All other revenue is recognized when earned.

INCOME TAXES
The Company uses Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109 ("SFAS
109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS 109 requires that deferred taxes be
established for all temporary differences between the book and tax bases of
assets and liabilities.

A portion of the assets and liabilities acquired by the Company in 1990 from a
related party was recorded at the predecessor entity's net book value for
financial reporting purposes. The difference between the fair value and the
predecessor's book value at the purchase date of $23,500 was recorded in the
account "Excess purchase price over net assets from the Services Group
acquisition." The tax benefit of the amortization of this difference is recorded
upon realization as an increase to stockholders' equity by reducing the account
"Excess purchase price over net assets from the Services Group acquisition." The
remaining balance in this account at July 31, 1996 was $16,358.

INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and equivalents
outstanding during the period. Outstanding stock options, which are common stock
equivalents, are included in the calculation if they are dilutive. Stock
purchase warrants, which are common stock equivalents, are included in the
calculation of income per share from the date of issuance (see Note 10). Loss
per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the period. Stock options and stock purchase warrants
are not considered in this calculation as they would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

NATIONAL ACME
On October 23, 1995, the Company acquired (the "Acquisition") all of the
outstanding stock of The National Acme Company, an Ohio corporation ("National
Acme"). Immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition, National Acme
was merged with and into the Company with the Company as the surviving
corporation.

The consideration paid for the Acquisition consisted of $8,987 at closing for
the outstanding stock of National Acme and in consideration for a noncompete
agreement, and $1,314 for additional purchase price adjustment in March 1996, as
well as closing costs. The Company borrowed funds from its new senior debt
facility to finance the Acquisition (see Notes 7 and 8).

National Acme, located in Cleveland, Ohio, manufactures Acme-Gridley multiple
spindle automatic bar and chucking machines and supplies related aftermarket
parts and service.

The Acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and,
accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the estimated fair market
value of net assets acquired based on information available at this time. Such
amounts may change as additional information becomes available. The aggregate of
the assets acquired were $49,082, which was allocated based on the fair values
at the time of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over net assets
acquired of $4,831 has been allocated to goodwill and $10,695 to engineering
drawings. These amounts will be amortized on a straight-line basis over thirty
years. The noncompete agreement of $1,400 will be amortized on the straight-line
basis over ten years. Liabilities of $38,781 were assumed in connection with the
Acquisition, primarily for postretirement medical benefits ($20,559) and pension
benefits ($10,926). The results of operations of National Acme have been
included in the Company's balance sheet starting with the second quarter of
fiscal 1996.

The following pro forma information has been prepared assuming the acquisition
of National Acme had occurred on August 1, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

In preparing the unaudited pro forma summary of operations, adjustments were
made to the historical financial statements to reflect increases in the
revolving line of credit and interest expense; amortization of intangible
assets; depreciation of fixed asset write-up to fair market value; and other
estimated purchase accounting entries. The pro forma results are not necessarily
indicative of what would have been obtained if the

operations had been combined during fiscal 1996 and 1995, nor are they
necessarily indicative of the results that may occur in the future.

CUSHMAN INDUSTRIES
On September 9, 1994, the Company acquired specified operating assets of Cushman
Industries, Inc. ("Cushman"), a company in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, including
accounts receivable, inventories, selected machinery and equipment, trademarks
and intellectual property from the Cushman Industries Liquidating Trust which
had been established for the benefit of Cushman creditors. The purchase price
was approximately $3,100 and another $2,800 was recorded for the relocation and
consolidation of the Cushman operation into the Company's manufacturing facility
in Frankenmuth, Michigan. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase
method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to
the fair market value of net assets acquired. The excess purchase price over net
tangible assets acquired has been allocated in the amounts of $2,800 to
engineering drawings and $2,000 to goodwill and is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 30 years. Cushman's results of operations are included
in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. Cushman
manufactures a broad line of manual and power chucks for machine tool work
holding applications. The Company conducts this business as part of its Tooling
Systems Group.

H.B. INDUSTRIES, INC.
On November 30, 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of H.B. Industries, Inc., which conducts its business as Ed Smith Machinery
Sales ("Ed Smith"). Ed Smith sells replacement parts for the Bullard product
line of machine tools. The purchase price was approximately $3,000. The
acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and,
accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the fair market value of
net assets acquired. The excess purchase price over net assets acquired of
approximately $2,300 was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over a 15-year period. Ed Smith's results of operations are
included in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. The
business is operated by the Company's Services Group.

MIDEASTERN
On January 23, 1995, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Mideastern, Inc. ("Mideastern"). Mideastern
rebuilds and provides repair parts and service for a variety of machine tools
under the New Britain Machine brand name. The purchase price for this
acquisition was approximately $5,300, which consisted of $3,100 cash
consideration to the sellers, issuance of a $600 subordinated earnout note to
the sellers, stock options (see Note 8), Mideastern debt of $359 repaid by the
Company at closing, closing costs incurred, and liabilities assumed. The
acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and,
accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based upon the fair market value at the date of acquisition.
The excess purchase price over net assets acquired of approximately $2,900 was
recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15
years. The results of operations of Mideastern since acqusition are included in
the Company's financial statements with the Services Group.

The aggregate of the assets acquired in connection with the fiscal 1995
acquisitions were $14,476; liabilities assumed of $1,048; and debt issued of
$1,277. The Company borrowed funds from its revolving credit agreement to
finance these acquisitions.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared
assuming the acquisitions of Cushman, Ed Smith and Mideastern had occurred as of
August 1, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

NOTE 7 - REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT

On October 23, 1995, the Company replaced its existing revolving credit
agreement and term loan with a $30,000 senior credit facility comprised of a
$25,000 revolving credit agreement and a $5,000 term loan. The term loan
requires monthly principal payments of $86 that began November 30, 1995. The
funding occurred on October 23, 1995, contemporaneously with the Company's
completion of the acquisition of National Acme (see Note 2). On April 12, 1996,
the Company obtained an additional $3,000 term loan to help fund the litigation
settlement costs (see Note 15) and increased the senior credit facility to
$32,000. The new term loan requires monthly principal payments of $83 that began
June 30, 1996. The term loans require payments through September 30, 1998, with
final payments totalling $2,667 due on October 28, 1998. Interest rates are
based on the prime rate or alternative rates based on LIBOR.

The senior credit facility is secured by all of the Company's assets. Under the
terms of the facility, the Company is required to comply with various
operational and financial covenants, as defined, including (i) minimum net
worth, (ii) interest coverage ratio, (iii) liabilities to net worth ratio, (iv)
current ratio, (v) fixed charge coverage ratio and (vi) minimum earnings levels,
as defined. In addition, the facility places limitations on the Company's
ability to make capital expenditures and to pay dividends.

The facility matures on October 23, 1998, subject to renewal by agreement of the
parties. Amounts available under the revolving credit agreement are based upon a
formula related to the Company's eligible accounts receivable and inventories.
Interest on outstanding balances is payable monthly in arrears. Interest rates
are based on the prime rate or alternative rates based on LIBOR. A line of
credit fee of 0.25% per annum is payable monthly on the difference between the
revolving credit agreement and the average loan balance under the agreement. The
revolving credit agreement also provides for a $300 loan facility fee paid at
closing and a collateral management fee of $50 per year, payable at the date of
closing and annually thereafter. There are early termination fees should the
Company terminate the agreement prior to its third anniversary.

Borrowings of $23,900 under the senior credit facility were incurred at the
closing to retire the then existing senior credit facility and to finance the
Acquisition. The Company has incurred approximately $1,200 in refinancing costs.
These costs will be capitalized and amortized over the life of the debt. At July
31, 1996, borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit agreement were
$19,195. The rate in effect at July 31, 1996, was 8.5%.

The Term Loans (see Note 7) had initial principal amounts of $5,000 and $3,000
and require monthly payments of approximately $86 that began November 30, 1995,
and $83 that began June 30, 1996, through September 30, 1998. On October 23,
1998, $2,667 will be due under the Term Loans. Interest on the Term Loan is
payable monthly at 1.25% above prime rate or, at the Company's option, at
alternative rates based on LIBOR. The rate in effect at July 31, 1996 was 8.75%.

On May 25, 1994, the Company entered into an investment agreement with a
syndicate of lenders pursuant to which, among other things, the Company issued
Subordinated Debentures in the aggregate amount of $12,000. Consummation of the
Acquisition (see Note 2) and the refinancing of the senior credit facility (see
Note 7) required the consent of the holders of the Subordinated Debentures
pursuant to the terms of the investment agreement. Due to the inability of the
Company to obtain the consent of one of the debenture holders on mutually
agreeable terms, Charles E. Bradley and John G. Poole, directors and significant
shareholders of the Company, loaned the Company $2,500 and $1,500, respectively,
pursuant to the terms of Junior Subordinated Debentures, to replace the
principal owed to one of the Subordinated Debenture holders.

Interest on the Subordinated Debt is 11.5% per annum, payable quarterly in
arrears commencing July 1, 1994. Interest on the Junior Subordinated Debt
accrues at the rate of 14.5% per annum, with cash interest payable at 11% per
annum on a quarterly basis commencing January 1, 1996.

The Subordinated Debentures are due $2,000 in fiscal years 1999 and 2000 and
$4,000 in fiscal year 2001. The Junior Subordinated Debentures plus unpaid
interest are due June 30, 2001, or 30 days after the Subordinated Debt is paid
in full.

Also in connection with the refinancing, the holders of the Subordinated Debt
agreed to release their security interest in the Company's assets. Mr. Bradley
has pledged assets to secure the Subordinated Debt and will receive $90 annually
as a collateral fee for as long as the pledge is in effect, payable in monthly
installments.

Under the terms of the Subordinated Debentures, the Company is required to
comply with various operational and financial covenants which are the same
nature as those required under the terms of the senior credit facility (see Note
7) but at reduced levels. Refinancing costs of $1,215 and $1,035 were incurred
as a result of the replacement of the revolving credit agreement in fiscal 1996
and issuance of the Subordinated Debentures in fiscal 1994, respectively, which
were deferred and are being amortized over the life of the new debt agreements.

In conjunction with the issuance of the Subordinated Debentures in May 1994, the
Company issued one million stock purchase warrants (see Note 10). The discount
on the Subordinated Debentures initially aggregating $1,750 represents the fair
market value of the stock purchase warrants issued to the original holders of
the Subordinated Debentures. In connection with the refinancing of the senior
credit facility and the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Debt, the Company
issued an additional 500 Class A stock purchase warrants and 750 Class C stock
purchase warrants (see Note 10). An additional discount of $1,750 was recorded
on the Subordinated Debt and the Junior Subordinated Debt, representing the fair
market value of the stock purchase warrants issued. The discount was $2,943 and
$1,535 at July 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and is being amortized over the
remaining life of the Subordinated Debentures using effective interest rates of
approximately 21% and 15%, respectively.

The note payable issued for $3,250 in December 1992 is due in three equal annual
installments beginning December 1993 and results from the Company's redemption
of its outstanding Class F, Series A Preferred Stock. The note bears interest at
7% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, and was fully repaid in December
1995.

A promissory note of $427 was issued in connection with the Cushman acquisition
(see Note 2). It is payable in four equal annual installments of $107 with the
first installment paid in September 1995.

Other long-term debt includes $400 related to earnout note originally issued for
$600 in connection with the Mideastern acquisition (see Note 2). It is payable
in equal annual installments of $200 beginning January 31, 1996, providing
certain earnings levels are attained related to the acquired operations. The
note bears interest at a rate of 8% and interest payments will be made through
January 31, 1997, however, the payment of interest thereafter is also contingent
upon the attainment of certain earnings levels as specified in the note.

Also included in other long-term debt is $365 for a mortgage assumed in
connection with the acquisition of National Acme (see Note 2) is due August
1996.

NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In October 1995 and May 1994, the Company issued stock purchase warrants with an
aggregate fair market value of $1,750 and $1,750, respectively (see Notes 8 and
10). Such amounts increased Additional paid-in capital.

NOTE 10 - STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS

STOCK OPTIONS
Pursuant to the Company's 1989 Employee Stock Plan, an incentive stock
compensation plan which permits the issuance of up to 1,300 shares of common
stock, options have been granted to certain employees to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock at a price not less than the fair market value at the
date of grant. The options granted during fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 vest and
become exercisable in installments of 30% at the end of the first and second
years and 40% at the end of the third year, and they terminate ten years from
the date of grant. The options granted prior to fiscal 1994 are exercisable in
annual installments of up to 20% of the total shares represented by options,
commencing one year from the date of grant and terminating ten years thereafter.

Transactions under this plan are summarized as follows:

Effective June 15, 1992, all then outstanding options were surrendered and
reissued at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, the then fair market value of
the stock.

Effective January 10, 1991, the Company adopted a stock option plan for its
outside directors, and granted each outside director an option to purchase five
thousand shares of common stock (an aggregate of twenty-five thousand shares) at
$2.50 per share, the then fair market value of the shares. The

Company has reserved a total of fifty thousand shares for issuance under this
stock option plan. The options are exercisable in annual installments of up to
20% of the total shares represented by the options commencing one year from the
date of grant and terminating ten years thereafter.

On January 27, 1995, in connection with the Mideastern acquisition (see Note 2),
the Company issued options to the former Mideastern shareholders to purchase up
to 100 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share. If, on
January 27, 1998, the fair market value of the shares covered by these options
is not at least $3.50 per share (subject to adjustment), the optionee may elect
to redeem the options for $1.50 per share.

STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS

In conjunction with the issuance of the Subordinated Debentures (see Note 8),
the Company issued Class A Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Class A Warrants")
which permit holders of the Subordinated Debentures to purchase one million
shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
The Class A Warrants are exercisable from May 25, 1996, through May 25, 2004, or
three years after final payment of the Subordinated Debentures, if later. The
Company also issued an unlimited number of Class B Stock Purchase Warrants (the
"Class B Warrants"), which became available to the Subordinated Debenture
holders as a result of the settlement of the class action suit filed in 1992
(see Note 15). The actual number of warrants to be issued cannot be determined
at this time because they are based on a formula that uses the average closing
stock price for 90 days prior to May 25, 1997. If the average stock price for
the 90 days prior to May 25, 1997 is $4.29 or higher, no additional warrants
will be issued. However, if the average stock price is $3.00 or $1.75 for the 90
days prior to May 25, 1997, the number of warrants to be issued would be
approximately 360 and 1,200, respectively.

In connection with the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Debt, the Company
issued Class A Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Class A Warrants") to Messrs.
Bradley and Poole, representing the right to purchase 52 and 31 shares of the
Company's common stock, respectively. These Class A Warrants were originally
issued to the Subordinated Debenture holder who was replaced by the Junior
Subordinated Debt which was issued to Messrs. Bradley and Poole.

Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, as amended, the Company
issued additional Class A Stock Purchase Warrants to acquire 500 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. The Company also issued Class C Stock Purchase Warrants
to acquire 750 shares of the Company's Common Stock, subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances ("Class C Warrants") to the Subordinated and Junior
Subordinated Debenture holders, pro rata based on the principal amount of the
Subordinated Debt and Junior Subordinated Debt. The exercise price of the Class
A and Class C Warrants is $0.01 per share. The Class A Warrants may be exercised
at any time in whole or in part from and after October 23, 1997, and shall
expire the later of three years from the date of final payment on the
Subordinated Debt or May 25, 2004. The Class C Warrants may be exercised at any
time after October 31, 1998, subject to earlier exercise upon the sale of the
Company, and expire on the later of three years after the payment of the
Subordinated Debt or October 31, 2005.

The number of shares of the Company's Common Stock which the holders of the
Class C Warrants have the right to acquire may be reduced based on the Company
attaining earnings levels, as defined in the Investment Agreement, as amended.
The Company recorded 200 warrants as likely to be issued at this time. The
additional Class A and Class C Warrants have an aggregate fair market value of
$1,750. Such amount increased Additional paid-in capital and is recorded as a
discount to the Subordinated Debentures. This discount will be amortized as
interest expense over the life of the Subordinated Debt.

The Class A Warrants, Class B Warrants and Class C Warrants are subject to
anti-dilution protection and the holders of such warrants are entitled to
certain registration rights.

NOTE 11 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

PENSION
The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering
essentially all of its hourly and salaried employees, except employees of the
Services Group. The plans provide retirement, death and disability benefits to
eligible employees based upon age, salary and length of service. The Company's
funding policy for these plans is to satisfy the minimum funding requirements of
ERISA, which is tax deductible under the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company assumed pension liabilities of $10,926 as a result of the
acquisition of The National Acme Company on October 23, 1995 (see Note 2).
Assets of the plans, comprised of temporary cash investments, convertible
debentures, preferred and common stocks, including 110 shares of the Company's
common stock, are invested in a master trust.

</TABLE>

The projected benefit obligations at July 31, 1996, and 1995 include accumulated
benefit obligations of $44,486 and $7,553 and vested benefit obligations of
$43,140 and $7,315, respectively.

The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the
projected benefit obligation was 8.0% and 8.25% for fiscal 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 9% for
both years.

OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Company also has two defined contribution pension plans pursuant to Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Non-union employees and all salaried
employees of the Company are eligible for participation in the Savings Plan.
Plan participants may contribute up to 12% of gross compensation. The Company
matches 50% of participant contributions of up to 6% of each participant's gross
compensation. Contribution expense for the years ended July 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994 was $343, $127 and $93, respectively.

Certain employees hired by National Acme after April 1, 1986, no longer accrue
benefits under the defined benefit pension plans and the Company contributes 3%
of gross compensation to an Hourly Savings Plan. Contributions under this plan
were $99 during fiscal 1996.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The Company provides certain employees with health and life insurance benefits
after retirement. Health insurance benefits require employee contributions in
certain cases. The Company assumed postretirement medical liabilities of $20,559
as a result of the acquisition of The National Acme Company on October 23, 1995
(see Note 2).

The assumed discount rate used to measure the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation was 8.0% and 8.25% for fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
medical cost trend rate in fiscal 1996 and 1995 was 9% and 10%, respectively,
declining on a linear basis to a terminal rate of 5.5% by the year 2003. A one
percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rates for each
future year would have increased fiscal 1996 and 1995 costs by approximately $89
and $70, respectively, and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as
of July 31, 1996 and 1995 by $1,259 and $603, respectively.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES

Effective August 1, 1992, the Company adopted SFAS 109 (see Note 1). Pre-tax
(loss)/income from continuing operations was $(769), $811 and $1,487 in fiscal
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The tax benefit resulting from the amortization of excess tax basis (i.e. the
excess over recorded book value) of certain intangible assets will reduce the
equity account "Excess purchase price over net assets from the Services Group
acquisition," which will increase stockholders' equity (see Note 1). The Company
has a valuation allowance of $2,483 related to this item because of the
uncertainty of realization of this asset.

The Company recorded deferred tax assets of $7,551 related to the acquisition of
National Acme (see Note 2) and also established a valuation allowance of $2,222
due to uncertainty of the realization of the deferred tax assets. The Company
released $2,962 of valuation allowance in fiscal 1995 because of profitable
results in recent history and expectations of income within the foreseeable
future.

The differences between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company's
effective rate on income from continuing operations are as follows:

NOTE 14 - LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company has various noncancelable operating leases relating principally to
machinery and equipment and real property, which expire at various dates through
2006. Three of the Company's operating facilities were leased in April 1986
under an operating lease with an initial 20-year term. This lease initially
required monthly payments of $69 and contains an escalation provision, effective
commencing on the fifth anniversary of the lease and thereafter at each
five-year anniversary, based on increases in the consumer price index. Monthly
payments are $80, after assignment of the lease for the Penberthy facility and
after the escalation effective May 1996. The lease is renewable for four
additional five-year terms. Upon completion of the initial 20-year term, the
Company is required to renew the lease for at least one five-year term or
purchase the property. Accordingly, the minimum rental commitments shown below
reflect one additional five-year renewal term.

Rental expense relative to all operating leases for the years ended July 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994 was $2,731, $2,156, and $2,123, respectively. At July 31,

NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On August 4, 1993, the Company, certain of its present and former officers and
directors and several unrelated third parties were included as defendants in a
civil suit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District
of Illinois, Western District. The suit was filed by a committee of unsecured
creditors of DeVlieg, Inc., a company in Chapter 11 proceedings in the
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and
debtor-in-possession, DeVlieg, Inc. The litigation sought in excess of $10,000
in damages and alleged violations of state fraudulent conveyance statutes in
connection with the acquisition by the Company of certain assets of DeVlieg,
Inc., in September 1988 and March 1990. The Company settled this suit for $1,500
during fiscal 1995. This was recorded as a nonrecurring charge in the Statements
of Operations. The settlement is effective as to the Company and each of its
present and former officers and directors party to the suit.

On March 2, 1992, a purported class action suit was filed in the United States
District Court for the District of Connecticut against the Company, Stanwich Oil
& Gas, Inc., the First Boston Corporation and certain of the Company's officers
and directors. The suit alleged violations of the federal securities laws and
state and federal common law in connection with alleged misrepresentations and
omissions made by the Company in connection with its initial public offering in
March 1990 and in certain reports later issued by the Company. While management
continues to believe the allegations were without merit, in March 1996 the
Company and all the remaining defendants, collectively, reached a settlement of
the suit with representatives of the purported class. Under the terms of the
settlement, the defendants collectively would pay a total of approximately
$1,500 over approximately five months. The Company has accrued $2,400 in fiscal
1996 for the settlement and related litigation costs. The settlement was
approved by the court at a hearing on July 19, 1996. Management believes the
settlement to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

On November 3, 1995, a jury rendered a verdict against the Company in the net
amount of approximately $1,300, plus interest, relating to a civil suit filed
against the Company in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, County of
Erie, styled Watson Bowman Acme Corp. v. DeVlieg-Bullard, Inc. A final
determination of the amount of the judgment has not been made at this time. The
plaintiff has alleged losses resulting from a breach of contract by the Company,
as successor to DeVlieg-Lyons Integrated Systems, Inc., in connection with the
delivery to the plaintiff of a CNC Milling Machine. The suit was originally
filed on November 21, 1991. The Company had countersued for the remaining
balance due under the contract of approximately $280.

The Company believes that the jury's verdict in this case failed to consider
material evidence in the case that indicates that the Company was not in breach
of the contract; a Notice of Appeal was filed on February 9, 1996. No assurance
can be given that such appeal will be successful. Accordingly, the Company made
an accrual in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 in the amount of $2,200 for the
jury's verdict, plus interest and other costs.

At July 31, 1996, the accrued liability for these cases was $2,309. On April 12,
1996, the Company obtained a new term loan in the amount of $3,000 to assist in
the financing of the above litigation costs. The Company does not believe that
the expected outcome of these legal proceedings will have any future material
adverse impact on the results of operations, liquidity or financial condition of
the Company.

The Company is also involved in litigation and proceedings, including product
liability claims, in the ordinary course of its business. The Company does not
believe that the outcome of such litigation will have a material adverse effect
upon the Company, after taking into account any proceeds of available insurance.
