                              BMC INDUSTRIES, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                    (in thousands, except per share amounts)



1.   Financial Statements

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
     present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30,
     1994, and the results of operations and the cash flows for the periods
     ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.  Such adjustments are of a normal
     recurring nature.  Certain items in the financial statements for the period
     ended September 30, 1993 have been reclassified to conform to the
     presentation for the period ended September 30, 1994. The results of
     operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
     1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
     full year.  The balance sheet at December 31, 1993 is derived from the
     audited balance sheet as of that date.  For further information, refer to
     the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's
     annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.


2.   Retirement of Long-Term Debt

     In the third quarter of 1994, the Company repaid all of its outstanding
     senior, subordinated and industrial development revenue bond debt.


3.   Exercise of Warrants by Warrant Holders


     In the third quarter of 1994, all remaining holders of warrants to purchase
     the Company's common stock exercised their warrants.  As a result, the
     Company issued 445,605 shares of its common stock to warrant holders.
     During the nine months ended September 30, 1994, all holders of warrants
     exercised their warrants resulting in the issuance of 965,514 shares of
     common stock.


4.   Stock Split

     On August 15, 1994, the Company declared a two-for-one stock split.
     Shareholders of record on August 25, 1994, received one additional share of
     common stock for each common share owned on that date.  As a result, the
     number of outstanding shares and earnings per share for prior periods
     presented have been restated to reflect the split.


                                     Page 5


5.   Provision for Loss Related to Discontinued Operation

     In the first quarter of 1994, the Company made a provision for estimated
     losses of $1,300, less applicable income tax effect of $461, related to a
     discontinued operation.  This provision was prompted by claims and expenses
     growing out of environmental contamination and other claims related to the
     discontinued operation.  The environmental contamination occurred before
     1980 at an operation acquired by the Company in 1983 and disposed of in
     1986.


6.   Accounting  Changes

     Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for
     income taxes as required by Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
     No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES.  As permitted under the new rules,
     prior years' financial statements were not restated.  The cumulative effect
     of adopting Statement No. 109 as of January 1, 1993, was to increase net
     income by $12,855  or $1.05 per share.  The principal change affecting the
     Company under Statement No. 109 is a change in the recognition and
     measurement criteria with respect to deferred tax assets.

     Also effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
     Standards Board Statement No. 106, EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR POSTRETIREMENT
     BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS. The cumulative effect of adopting Statement
     No. 106 was to decrease net income by $724, net of tax, or $.06 per share.
     Under the new rules the Company accrues the expected cost of providing
     postretirement benefits other than pensions during the years that eligible
     employees render service.

8.   Long-term Contract

     Work is continuing on a long-term contract for the construction of aperture
     mask production equipment for a customer in China.  At September 30, 1994,
     the contract was 11.5% complete.  No change has been made in the estimate
     of costs to complete the contract.


9.   Earnings Per Share

     Primary earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of
     common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Common
     stock equivalents include dilutive stock options and warrants using the
     treasury stock method.  Fully diluted earnings per share did not differ
     significantly from primary earnings per share in both years.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 AND 1993

Total revenues for the third quarter of 1994 increased by $8.8 million or 19%
from the third quarter of 1993.  Net sales of primary products increased $8.9
million or 20% from the third quarter of 1993.  Net sales of the Precision
Imaged Products group increased by 33%  due primarily to an improvement in sales
mix related to increased sales of larger-sized and invar color television
aperture masks.  Net sales of the Optical Products group increased 2%  due
primarily to an increase in unit sales of polycarbonate eyewear lenses partially
offset by a decline in sales of hard resin plastic eyewear lenses.

Cost of sales of primary products was 85.2% of net sales for the third quarter
of 1994, compared to 88.5% in the same period of 1993.  The improvement occurred
in both groups and was due primarily to improved sales mix and enhanced
manufacturing efficiencies.

Net interest expense for the third quarter of 1994 declined by $33,000 in
comparison to the prior year's third quarter.  This was due primarily to lower
average debt balances in the third quarter of 1994, largely offset by charges
associated with the prepayment of the Company's long-term debt.

The provision for income taxes was 43.5% of pre-tax income in the third quarter
of 1994 compared to 22.0% for the same period in 1993. The Company anticipates
that its effective tax rate for the total year of 1994 will be in the
approximate range of 37% to 41%.

COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 AND 1993

Total revenues for the first nine months of 1994 increased $23.2 million or 17%
over the first nine months of 1993.  Net sales of primary products increased
$20.5 million or 15% .  Net sales of the Precision Imaged Products group
increased by 19% due primarily to an improvement in sales mix related to
increased sales of larger-sized and invar color television aperture masks.  Net
sales of the Optical Products group increased 8%, due primarily to an increase
in unit sales of polycarbonate eyewear lenses.

Cost of sales of primary products was 83.5% of net sales in the first nine
months of 1994 compared to 85.2% in the same period of 1993.  The improvement
occurred throughout the Company and was due primarily to improved sales mix and
enhanced manufacturing efficiencies.

Net interest expense declined by $997,000 in the first nine months of 1994
compared to the same period in 1993, due to lower average debt balances,
partially offset by charges associated with prepayment of the Company's long
term debt.

The provision for income taxes was 37.7% of pre-tax income in the first nine
months of 1994 compared to 28.9% for the same period in 1993. The Company
anticipates that its effective tax rate for the total year of 1994 will be in
the approximate range of 37% to 41%.


                                     Page 7


FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY

Cash and cash equivalent balances declined by $2.3 million during the first nine
months of 1994, due primarily to prepayment of substantially all of the
Company's debt and capital expenditures, partially offset by collections on an
equipment contract, the exercise of warrants and a net reduction in
non-cash/non-debt working capital.   Working capital was $32.3 million at
September 30, 1994, compared to $34.5 million at December 31, 1993.  The current
ratio was 1.8 at September 30, 1994, compared with 1.9 at December 31, 1993.
Total debt was $71,000 at September 30, 1994, compared to $27.2 million at
December 31, 1993.  The ratio of total liabilities to equity declined to 0.7 at
September 30, 1994 compared to 1.2 at December 31, 1993.

The Company had $41.8 million available for short-term borrowing under domestic
and foreign bank lines at September 30, 1994.  As of September 30, 1994, the
Company had commitments of $5.1 million for capital purchases.

Management believes that sufficient cash can be generated through operations and
borrowings to finance the Company's short and long-term cash needs.
