     The following  documents  filed by the  Registrant  with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission (the "Commission")  pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the  "Securities  Act"), or the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended  (the  "Exchange   Act"),   are  incorporated  by  reference  into  this
Registration Statement:  (i) the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended  December  31, 2001,  and (ii) the  description  of the  Registrant's
Common Stock contained in the Registration Statement on Form 10 dated March 1964
filed by Rockwell Manufacturing Co.

     All documents  subsequently  filed by the  Registrant  with the  Commission
pursuant to Sections  13(a),  13(c),  14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the
date of this Registration Statement, but prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment to this  Registration  Statement  which  indicates that all securities
offered by this  Registration  Statement have been sold or which deregisters all
such  securities  then remaining  unsold,  shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference  into this  Registration  Statement.  Each  document  incorporated  by
reference into this Registration  Statement shall be deemed to be a part of this
Registration  Statement  from  the  date of  filing  of such  document  with the
Commission until the information  contained  therein is superseded or updated by
any  subsequently  filed document which is  incorporated  by reference into this
Registration  Statement  or by  any  document  which  constitutes  part  of  the
prospectus  relating  to the  American  Locker  Group  Incorporated  1999  Stock

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Section  102(b)(7) of the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law (the "DGCL")
permits a Delaware corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, to limit or
eliminate, subject to certain statutory limitations, the liability of a director
to the  corporation  or its  stockholders  for  monetary  damages  for breach of
fiduciary  duty,  except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to the  corporation or its  stockholders,  (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law,  (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any  transaction  from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  Article TWELFTH of the
Registrant's  Certificate  of  Incorporation  provides  that no  director of the
Registrant  shall be personally  liable to the Registrant or its stockholders in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of Section 102(b)(7).

     Under  Section  145 of the DGCL,  a Delaware  corporation  has the power to
indemnify  directors and officers under certain  prescribed  circumstances  and,
subject to certain  limitations,  against certain costs and expenses,  including
attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to
which any of them is a party by reason of his being a director or officer of the
corporation if it is determined  that he acted in accordance with the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in such statutory  provision.


                                     II - 1


Article TWELFTH of the Registrant's  Certificate of Incorporation  provides that
the Registrant will indemnify,  to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted
by law, each director or officer of the Registrant who was or is made a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason  of  the  fact  that  he is or was an  authorized  representative  of the
Registrant,  against all expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements),
judgments,  fines  (including  excise taxes and  penalties)  and amounts paid in
settlement  actually  and  reasonably  incurred by him in  connection  with such
action, suit or proceeding.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1) To file,  during  any  period  in which  offers of sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

               (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
          Securities Act;

               (ii) To reflect  in the  prospectus  any facts or events  arising
          after the effective  date of the  Registration  Statement (or the most
          recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
          aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
          in the Registration Statement;

               (iii) To include any  material  information  with  respect to the
          plan of  distribution  not  previously  disclosed in the  Registration
          Statement  or  any  material   change  to  such   information  in  the
          Registration Statement;

     Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
     the information  required to be included in a  post-effective  amendment by
     those  paragraphs is contained in periodic  reports filed by the Registrant
     pursuant  to  Section  13 or  Section  15(d) of the  Exchange  Act that are
     incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

          (2) That,  for the  purpose of  determining  any  liability  under the
Securities Act, each such  post-effective  amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration  statement  relating to the  securities  offered  therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

          (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining  any  liability  under  the  Securities  Act,  each  filing  of  the
Registrant's  annual  report  pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is  incorporated  by reference in the  Registration  Statement
shall be deemed to be a new  Registration  Statement  relating to the securities
offered  therein,  and the  offering  of such  securities  at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereto.

                                      * * *

          (h)  Insofar as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons
of the  Registrant  pursuant to the  foregoing  provisions,  or  otherwise,  the
Registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the  Securities and Exchange
Commission  such  indemnification  is against  public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore,  unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
Registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  Registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection  with  the  securities  being  registered,   submit  to  a  court  of
appropriate  jurisdiction  the question  whether such  indemnification  by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
