ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
To The Board of Directors of
General Magnaplate Corporation:
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of General Magnaplate
Corporation and Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and the
related consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the six months ended
December 31, 1996 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash
flows for the six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, in accordance with
Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in
these financial statements is the representation of management of General
Magnaplate Corporation.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and
analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in
scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
the objective of which is the expression of opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion on
the December 31, 1996 and 1995 statements.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our review was made for the purpose of expressing limited assurance
that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial
statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. The supplementary information for the six months ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 included in the accompanying supplementary
information is presented for supplementary analysis purposes. Such information
has been subjected to the inquiry and analytical procedures applied in the
review of the basic financial statements, and we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made thereto.
The balance sheet for the year ended June 30, 1996 was audited by us,
and we expressed an unqualified opinion on it in our report dated August 9,
1996. We have not performed any auditing procedures on the balance sheet since
August 9, 1996.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
General Magnaplate Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries;
accordingly all intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of Business
The Company is in one line of business. It provides
synergistic coatings and other related services to its customers'
products from five plants located in the United States and Canada.
Marketable Securities
All marketable securities are considered trading securities
and are valued at fair market value in accordance with SFAS No. 115.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses are reported in current period
income. Market value exceeded cost by $29,996 at December 31, 1996.
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of industrial supplies and
plating solutions which are valued at the lower of FIFO cost or market
and are included in Cost of Sales.
Depreciation and Amortization
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and
depreciation is provided principally on a straight line basis using
estimated service lives of 3-5 years for transportation equipment, 5-10
years for factory machinery and office equipment, and 10-39 years for
buildings and building improvements. Expenditures for renewals and
betterments are capitalized. Items of identifiable property which are
sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of are removed from the asset
accounts, and any gains or losses thereon are reflected in income.
Patents and trademarks are amortized on a straight line basis
over periods not exceeding 17 years.
Corporate Income Taxes
Taxes are provided based on income reported for financial
statement purposes, including deferred taxes which are principally
provided due to temporary differences between financial and tax
reporting of certain revenue and expense items.
GENERAL MAGNAPLATE CORPORATION
AND
WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Company Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share of common stock have been computed based on
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
Assets and liabilities of the subsidiary operating in Canada
are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at
the balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using the
average exchange rate prevailing throughout the period. The effects of
exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and
liabilities into U.S. dollars are included as part of the Foreign
Currency Translation Adjustment component of shareholders' equity,
while gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are
generally included in income.
Use of Estimates
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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Note 6--Employee Benefits
The Company maintains a 401(k) savings plan which covers all full time
U.S. employees. The Company matches 50% of voluntary pre-tax employee
participant contributions up to 4% of compensation as well as providing
discretionary contributions based on compensation for all employees. Employer
discretionary contributions, which are forfeited due to employee termination
prior to the full seven year vesting period, revert back to the Company. Total
expense under the plan was $27,721 in 1996 and $26,806 in 1995.
Pursuant to employment contracts and letter agreements with officers
and key employees, the Company maintains non-qualified incentive compensation
plans which are based on the realization of pre-tax income and royalty income.
Total expense under these plans was $246,113 in 1996 and $272,869 in 1995.
The Company is obligated to provide a non-qualified retirement pension
to its chief executive officer. Such obligation provides a monthly benefit of
$7,100 and is payable for a period of fifteen years to the officer, or to his
wife in the event of his death. The Company is accruing the obligation over the
active term of employment of the officer. The Company is also accruing and
funding deferred compensation contracts with two other officers based on 10% of
annual compensation. Total expense under these three obligations was $75,253 in
1996 and $91,968 in 1995.

Note 7--Contingencies and Risks
Litigation
In April, 1991, a claim was served on the Canadian subsidiary,
General Magnaplate Canada, Ltd., by Dynasurf International, Inc. for
$170,000 representing the unpaid contract liability for the net assets
acquired by the Canadian subsidiary from the sellers, Carrigan
Industries, Ltd. and Dynasurf International, Inc. on January 2, 1990.
The Subsidiary filed a counterclaim for environmental and
other costs incurred which resulted from the seller not resolving
certain environmental issues warranted in the contract of purchase.
Further, a shareholder of Dynasurf International, Inc. also filed a
claim for breach of oral contract of employment for $119,000 which the
Company denied in their related statement of defense.
The Company reached an out of court agreement with the
plaintiffs in September, 1996 wherein the plaintiffs were collectively
paid the sum of $65,000 in full settlement of their claim. Such
settlement did not have an adverse effect on the Company's financial
statements.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of its cash, marketable
securities and trade receivables.
The Company's cash and marketable securities are in
high-quality securities placed with a wide array of institutions with
high credit and investment ratings. This investment policy limits the
Company's exposure to concentrations of credit risk.
The trade receivable balances, reflecting the Company's
diversified sources of revenue, are dispersed across many different
geographic areas. As a consequence, concentrations of credit risk are
limited. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its
customers and generally does not require collateral to support its
credit sales.

because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Marketable Securities--The carrying amount approximates fair value
because such securities are valued based on market quotes.
Notes Receivable - Long-term--The carrying amount approximates fair
value because of similar rates on issues offered to the Corporation
under some or similar provisions.
Accrued Deferred Compensation--The carrying amount approximates fair
value because such liability is being valued based on current market
values.

Item 2B - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations :
Quarter --- December 31, 1996 compared with December 31, 1995
Sales increased this quarter as reflected in the current period sales
of $2,543,418 by $122,597 or 5.1% from the same quarter last year. Sales at all
locations continue to increase over last year due to an increase in customer
contracts, increased volume and a larger sales force. Management expects this
positive trend to continue through the remainder of the year. The additional
space at our Wisconsin facility is complete and will be operational by spring.
Response to our Web site on the World Wide Web (http://www.magnaplate.com) is
continuing to be met with tremendous response and has resulted in additional
sales.
The additional international advertising has been met with great
response as justified by the continuing increase in royalty income. Royalty
income for the quarter was $99,806 an increase of 5% compared with the same
quarter in 1995. Negotiations are continually taking place regarding potential
new licensees. The $46,381 decrease in investment and other income is
attributable to a decline in the market at December 31, 1996 and lower dividend
and interest income earned at the period end. Management believes the investment
portfolio to be sound, diversified and less susceptible to extreme market
fluctuations while providing dividend and interest income.
Reflecting the above, gross revenue for the latest quarter of this year
of $2,789,219 increased $81,008 or 2.9% from the same quarter last year.
Total costs and expenses were $2,199,489 in the second quarter, an
increase of $55,542 or 2.6% from the same quarter last year. The minimal
increase is due to moderate price increases from our vendors, higher inventory
of raw materials due to increased sales and increases in ordinary payroll.
Management has successfully stabilized costs in direct proportion to revenue and
continues to monitor spending.
Income before corporate income taxes was $589,730 in this year's
second quarter, an increase of $25,466 or 4.5% from the $564,264 achieved in
last year's second quarter. Corporate income taxes and the effective tax rate in
this year's second quarter were $200,800 and 37% respectively, compared with
$204,900 and 36% in the second quarter of last year.
Based on the above, net income of $388,930 increased by $29,566 or 8.2%
in the second quarter of this year from the $359,364 achieved in last year's
second quarter.
Earnings per share were up 15.4% in this year's second quarter ( or
$.15 compared to $.13 in last year's second quarter). During the current three
month period 114,000 shares of treasury stock were retired and canceled,
resulting in a weighted average of outstanding 2,571,469 compared to 2,720,884
for the same period last year.
Six Months --- December 31, 1996 compared with December 31, 1995:
Gross revenue for this year's first six months of $5,390,237 increased
$69,961 over last year, an increase of 1%.
Total costs and expenses for the current six month period were
$4,323,970 an increase of $97,913 or 2% from last year. As a percentage of gross
revenue, total costs and expenses in 1996 were 80% compared to 79% in 1995. Cost
of Sales as a percentage of gross revenue for the latest six months increased to
39% from 37% in the same period of last year. Selling and administration
decreased to 36% of gross revenue in the latest period compared with 37% last
year. Depreciation and amortization decreased to 5% of gross revenue this year
compared with 6% in 1995.
As a result of the above, gross income before corporate income taxes
for the first six months of this year was $1,066,267, a decrease of $27,952 or
2.6% from last year.
Corporate income taxes in this year's first six months were $377,500,
compared to $399,300 for the comparable period of last year, a decrease of
$21,800 or 5.8%. As detailed in note 5, this year's effective tax rate was 35%
compared with 36% last year.
As a result of the above, net income of $688,767 this year was $6,152
or .9% less than the $694,919 achieved last year. Earnings per share were $.26
this year, compared with $.25 a share last year an increase of $.01 or 4%.
During the six month period 114,000 shares of treasury stock were retired and
canceled, resulting in a weighted average this year of 2,603,133 compared with
2,731,770 in 1995.
As detailed in note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the
previous legal matters have been resolved. No new legal matters are expected.
Negotiations are continuing regarding a potential new licensee in
Korea.
No other significant financial matters are expected in future months
that will have an adverse impact on earnings.
