PART I
Item 1. Business
The Company is engaged in one line of business. Twin Disc designs,
manufactures and sells heavy duty off-highway power transmission equipment.
Products offered include: hydraulic torque converters; power-shift
transmissions; marine transmissions and surface drives; universal joints; gas
turbine starting drives; power take-offs and reduction gears; industrial
clutches; fluid couplings and control systems. Principal markets are:
construction equipment, industrial equipment, government, marine, energy and
natural resources and agriculture. The Company's worldwide sales to both
domestic and foreign customers are transacted through a direct sales force and
a distributor network. There have been no significant changes in products or
markets since the beginning of the fiscal year. The products described above
have accounted for more than 90% of revenues in each of the last three fiscal
years.
During 1995, the Company purchased the outstanding stock of Marine Diffusion,
S.R.L. The acquisition did not require significant capital investment. A
further description of this acquisition appears in Note N to the consolidated
financial statements on page 37 of the 1996 Annual Report, which financial
statements are incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K Annual Report in
Part II.
In July 1994, the Company acquired a minority interest in Palmer Johnson
Distributors, LLC, a major distributor of Twin Disc products. A further
description of this transaction appears in Note E to the consolidated
financial statements on page 29 of the 1996 Annual Report, which financial
statements are incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K Annual Report in
Part II. The Company also began operations of a fully owned marketing
subsidiary in Madrid, Spain in fiscal year 1994. The establishment of this
subsidiary did not require significant capital investment.
The Company's products receive direct widespread competition, including from
divisions of other larger independent manufacturers. The Company also
competes for business with parts manufacturing divisions of some of its major
customers. Ten customers accounted for approximately 45% of the Company's
consolidated net sales during the year ended June 30, 1996. One such customer
is Caterpillar Inc. which accounted for approximately 10% of consolidated net
sales in 1996.
Unfilled open orders for the next six months of $65,574,000 at June 30, 1996
compares to $72,183,000 at June 30, 1995. Since orders are subject to
cancellation and rescheduling by the customer, the six-month order backlog is
considered more representative of operating conditions than total backlog.
However, as procurement and manufacturing "lead times" change, the backlog
will increase or decrease; and thus it does not necessarily provide a valid
indicator of the shipping rate. Cancellations are generally the result of
rescheduling activity and do not represent a material change in backlog.
Most of the Company's products are machined from cast iron, forgings, cast
aluminum and bar steel which generally are available from multiple sources and
which are believed to be in adequate supply.
The Company has pursued a policy of applying for patents in both the United
States and certain foreign countries on inventions made in the course of its
development work for which commercial applications are considered probable.
The Company regards its patents collectively as important but does not
consider its business dependent upon any one of such patents.
Engineering and development costs include research and development expenses
for new product development and major improvements to existing products, and
other charges for ongoing efforts to refine existing products. Research and
development costs charged to operations totalled $2,564,000, $2,718,000 and
$2,649,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Total engineering and
development costs were $6,998,000, $7,411,000 and $6,843,000 in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

Item 1. Business (continued)
Compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge
of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of
the environment, is not anticipated to have a material effect on capital
expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the Company.
The number of persons employed by the Company at June 30, 1996 was 1,080.
The business is not considered to be seasonal except to the extent that
employee vacations are taken mainly in the months of July and August
curtailing production during that period.
Management recognizes that there are attendant risks that foreign governments
may place restrictions on dividend payments and other movements of money, but
these risks are considered minimal due to the political relations the United
States maintains with the countries in which the Company operates or the
relatively low investment within individual countries.
A summary of financial data by geographic area for the years ended June 30,
1996, 1995 and 1994 appears in Note D to the consolidated financial statements
on pages 27 through 29 of the 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders, which
financial statements are incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K Annual
Report in Part II.
Item 2. Properties
The Company owns two manufacturing, assembly and office facilities in Racine,
Wisconsin, U.S.A. and one in Nivelles, Belgium. The aggregate floor space of
these three plants approximates 677,000 square feet. The Racine facility
includes office space which is the location of the Company's corporate
headquarters.
The Company also has operations in the following locations, all of which are
used for sales offices, warehousing and light assembly or product service.
The following properties are leased except for the Johannesburg, South Africa
location, which is owned:
Jacksonville, Florida, U.S.A. Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Miami, Florida, U.S.A. Perth, Western Australia, Australia
Loves Park, Illinois, U.S.A. Viareggio, Italy
Coburg, Oregon, U.S.A. Singapore
Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. Johannesburg, South Africa
Madrid, Spain
The properties are generally suitable for operations and are utilized in the
manner for which they were designed. Manufacturing facilities are currently
operating at less than 70% capacity and are adequate to meet foreseeable needs
of the Company.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Twin Disc is a defendant in several product liability or related claims
considered either adequately covered by appropriate liability insurance or
involving amounts not deemed material to the business or financial condition
of the Company.
The Company has joined with a group of potentially responsible parties in
signing a consent decree with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to
conduct a remedial investigation and feasibility study at the Interstate
Pollution Control facility in Rockford, Illinois. The consent decree was
signed on October 17, 1991, and filed with the federal court in the Northern
District of Illinois. The Company's total potential liability on the site
cannot be estimated with particularity until completion of the remedial
investigation. Based upon current assumptions, however, the Company
anticipates potential liability of approximately $500,000.
The Company has also joined with a group of potentially responsible parties in
signing a consent decree with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to
conduct a remedial investigation and feasibility study at the MIG\DeWane
Landfill in Rockford, Illinois. The consent decree was signed on March 29,
1991, and filed with the federal court in the Northern District of Illinois.
The Company's total potential liability on the site cannot be estimated with
particularity until completion of the remedial investigation. Based upon
current assumptions, however, the Company anticipates potential liability of
approximately $126,000.
The Company also is involved with other potentially responsible parties in
various stages of investigation and remediation relating to other hazardous
waste sites, some of which are on the United States EPA National Priorities
List (Superfund sites). While it is impossible at this time to determine with
certainty the ultimate outcome of such environmental matters, they are not
expected to materially affect the Company's financial position, operating
results or cash flows.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

PART II
Item 5.Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related Shareholder
Matters
The dividends per share and stock price range information set forth under the
caption "Sales and Earnings by Quarter" on page 1 of the Annual Report for the
year ended June 30, 1996 are incorporated into this Report
by reference.
As of June 30, 1996 there were 913 shareholder accounts. The Company's stock
is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The market price of the Company's
common stock as of the close of business on August 30, 1996 was $22.00 per
share.
Pursuant to a shareholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan"), on June 17, 1988,
the Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution, payable to
shareholders of record on July 1, 1988, of one Preferred Stock Purchase Right
for each outstanding share of Common Stock. The Rights will expire 10 years
after issuance, and will be exercisable only if a person or group becomes the
beneficial owner of 20% or more (or 30% in the case of any person or group
which currently owns 20% or more of the shares or who shall become the
Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the shares as a result of any transfer by
reason of the death of or by gift from any other person who is an Affiliate or
an Associate of such existing holder or by succeeding such a person as trustee
of a trust existing on the Record Date) of the Common Stock (such person or
group, an "Acquiring Person") or commences a tender or exchange offer which
would result in the offeror beneficially owning 30% or more of the Common
Stock. A person who is not an Acquiring Person will not be deemed to have
become an Acquiring Person solely as a result of a reduction in the
6
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related Shareholder
Matters (continued)
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding due to a repurchase of Common
Stock by the Company until such person becomes beneficial owner of any
additional shares of Common Stock. Each Right will entitle shareholders to
buy one newly issued unit of one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior
Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $80, subject to certain antidilution
adjustments. The Company will generally be entitled to redeem the Rights at
$.05 per Right at any time prior to 10 business days after a public
announcement of the existence of an Acquiring Person. In addition, if (i) a
person or group accumulates more than 30% of the Common Stock (except pursuant
to an offer for all outstanding shares of Common Stock which the independent
directors of the Company determine to be fair to and otherwise in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders and except solely due to a
reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding due to the
repurchase of Common Stock by the Company), (ii) a merger takes place with an
Acquiring Person where the Company is the surviving corporation and its Common
Stock is not changed or exchanged, (iii) an Acquiring Person engages in
certain self-dealing transactions, or (iv) during such time as there is an
Acquiring Person, an event occurs which results in such Acquiring Person's
ownership interest being increased by more than 1% (e.g., a reverse stock
split), each Right (other than Rights held by such Acquiring Person and
certain related parties which become void) will represent the right to
purchase, at the exercise price, Common Stock (or in certain circumstances, a
combination of securities and/or assets) having a value of twice the exercise
price. In addition, if following the public announcement of the existence of
an Acquiring Person the Company is acquired in a merger or other business
combination transaction, except a merger or other business combination
transaction that takes place after the consummation of an offer for all
outstanding shares of Common Stock that the independent directors of the
Company have determined to be fair, or a sale or transfer of 50% or more of
the Company's assets or earning power is made, each Right (unless previously
voided) will represent the right to purchase, at the exercise price, common
stock of the acquiring entity having a value of twice the exercise price at
the time.
The Rights have certain anti-takeover effects. The Rights will cause
substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company
without conditioning the offer on a substantial number of Rights being
acquired. However, the Rights are not intended to prevent a take-over, but
rather are designed to enhance the ability of the Board of Directors to
negotiate with an acquiror on behalf of all of the shareholders. In addition,
the Rights should not interfere with a proxy contest.
The Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination
approved by the Board of Directors since the Rights may be redeemed by the
Company at $.05 per Right prior to 10 business days (as such period may be
extended by the Company) after the public announcement of the existence of an
Acquiring Person.
The press release announcing the declaration of the Rights dividend, dated
June 20, 1988, and a letter to the Company's shareholders, dated June 22,
1988, explaining the Rights, filed as Item 14(a)(3), Exhibits 4(a) and (b) of
Part IV of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1988 are
hereby incorporated by reference.
