                     ROBINSON NUGENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                  December 31, 2000 and 1999, and June 30, 2000

1.   In the  opinion of  management,  the  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated
     condensed  financial  statements contain all adjustments  necessary (all of
     which are normal and recurring) to present fairly the financial position of
     the Company and its subsidiaries,  results of operations, and cash flows in
     conformity with generally accepted  accounting  principles.  The results of
     operations  for the interim  period are not  necessarily  an  indication of
     results to be expected for the entire year.

2.   Reference is directed to the Company's  consolidated  financial  statements
     (Form 10-K) for the year ended June 30, 2000, and  management's  discussion
     and analysis included in Part I, Item 2 in this report.

3.   On October 2, 2000,  The Company  and  Minnesota  Mining and  Manufacturing
     Company (3M) entered into a definitive merger agreement under which 3M will
     acquire  Robinson  Nugent for  approximately  $115  million,  including the
     assumption of debt. The merger is structured as a tax-free, stock-for-stock
     transaction, in which each outstanding Robinson Nugent common share will be
     exchanged for shares of 3M common stock.  The transaction will be accounted
     for as a purchase.

     The  transaction  has been  approved  by the  boards of  directors  of both
     companies  and is subject  to  approval  by the  shareholders  of  Robinson
     Nugent,  Inc., and customary closing conditions.  The Form S-4 Registration
     Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission in relation to
     this  merger  was  declared  effective  by the SEC in  early  January.  The
     transaction is expected to close in  mid-February.  Upon  completion of the
     merger, Robinson Nugent, Inc., will become a wholly owned subsidiary of 3M.

     3M also entered into a voting and stock option agreement with four Robinson
     Nugent,  Inc.,  stockholders,  owning  approximately 31% of the outstanding
     Company  common  shares  on  a  fully  diluted   basis,   under  which  the
     shareholders have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the merger and 3M
     has the option in certain  circumstances  to acquire the shares for cash at
     $19 per share.

     Reference is directed to the Form S-4 Registration Statement filed with the
     Securities and Exchange  Commission by Minnesota  Mining and  Manufacturing
     Company  for a  complete  description  of the terms and  conditions  of the
     Merger Agreement.

4.   The  Company  recorded  special and unusual  expenses of  $614,000,  before
     taxes, in the quarter ending December 31, 2000 and $786,000,  before taxes,
     in the  first  six  months  of  the  year.  These  expenses  are  presented
     separately  as a  component  of the  operating  income in the  consolidated
     statements of operations.  The special and unusual  expenses in the current
     year include personnel costs,  professional fees and other costs related to
     the  negotiations,  due  diligence  and  preparations  associated  with the
     definitive merger agreement between 3M and Robinson Nugent.  The prior year
     special and unusual  expenses of $376,000 in the quarter and $606,000  year
     to date were related to personnel  costs incurred to design and implement a
     new information and enterprise  resource planning system for North American
     and European  operations.  This new system was designed and  implemented to
     satisfy year 2000 requirements, enhance management control systems, improve
     customer service and vendor communications.

5.   The  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  has  issued  SFAS  No.  133,
     "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities",  which
     establishes  accounting and reporting  standards for hedging activities and
     for  derivative  instruments,   including  certain  derivative  instruments
     embedded in other contracts  (collectively referred to as derivatives).  It
     requires  that an entity  recognize  all  derivatives  as either  assets or
     liabilities  in the  statement  of  financial  position  and measure  those
     instruments at fair value. RN adopted the new standard on July 1, 2000. The
     effect on the  results of  operations  of  adopting  this new  standard  is
     insignificant.

     The Security  and Exchange  Commission  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin No. 101
     "Revenue  Recognition"  establishes account and reporting standards for the
     recognition  of revenues.  The Company  adopted the new bulletin on July 1,
     2000.  The effect on the results of operations of adopting this bulletin is
     insignificant.

6.   The  following  tables  present the  Company's  revenues and income  (loss)
     before income taxes by geographic segment:

                          PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                             OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Statements made in this quarterly report with respect to Robinson  Nugent's (the
Company) current plans,  estimates,  strategies and beliefs and other statements
that are not historical  facts are  forward-looking  statements about the future
beliefs in light of the information  currently available to it and therefore you
should not place undue reliance on them. The Company  cautions you that a number
of important  factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Customer  orders for the second  quarter  ended  December 31, 2000,  amounted to
$24.6  million,  up 4% from orders of $23.7  million in the same  quarter of the
prior year.  This  increase  reflected a $5.1 million or 209%  increase in Asia,
partially  offset by a $1.5 million or 10%  decrease in the United  States and a
$2.8  million or 38%  decrease in Europe.  The  Company's  backlog of  unshipped
orders  increased in the current  quarter to $35.2  million,  an increase of 75%
compared to $20.1  million at December 31, 1999.  The  Company's  backlog in the
United  States  increased  99% due  primarily to increased  orders of back panel
connectors  for  applications   such  as  servers,   routers,   hubs  and  other
telecommunication  equipment.  The  European  backlog  decreased  35%  due  to a
reduction in orders from the  Company's  largest  European  customer.  The Asian
backlog  increased  388% due  primarily  to the  shift of orders  from  contract
manufacturing  customers  from  North  America  and Europe to this  region.  The
backlog of unshipped orders at June 30, 2000, was $23.4 million.

                                       10


Net sales for the six  months  ending  December  31,  2000  were  $44.3  million
compared  to $43.7  million in the prior  year,  and  increase  of 1%. Net sales
decreased  8% in the  quarter to $21 million  compared  to $22.8  million in the
second quarter of the prior year.  Customer sales in the United States decreased
14.6% to $11.9 million  compared to $13.9  million in the second  quarter of the
prior year. The Company  continues to experience  high levels of incoming orders
on its more profitable backplane connectors, but sales increases in this product
category  have been  limited by assembly  capacity  constraints.  The backlog of
unshipped  orders for these types of connectors  increased  significantly in the
quarter.  The Company has invested  capital in additional  back panel  connector
assembly  equipment  in its  Malaysian  facility.  These  assembly  lines  began
production in January,  2001. Sales of high-density,  surface mount,  fine pitch
board-to-board  interconnect  systems  declined in the  quarter  compared to the
prior  quarter  and the  second  quarter  of the  prior  year.  These  types  of
connectors  are used in  communication  and  networking  components  utilized to
support the  infrastructure of the Internet.  Management  expects sales of these
types of connectors to increase in coming quarters after customers  reduce their
overstocked inventory levels, and resume historical purchasing patterns.

European customer sales decreased 35.4% to $4.4 million compared to $6.9 million
in the second quarter of the prior year. This sales decrease is due primarily to
a reduction in sales of connectors to the Company's  largest European  customer.
The connectors  sold to this customer are used primarily in major  communication
and digital satellite  receiver  applications in Europe. The Company expects the
demand for these types of products to improve in the coming quarters.

Customer sales in Asia, which includes sales generated from operations in Japan,
Malaysia and Singapore,  were $4.6 million in the quarter compared to $2 million
in the second  quarter of the prior year.  This increase is due primarily to the
movement of sales by contract  manufacturers to their facilities in this region.
Most of these  sales are not new  business  for The  Company.  They are a direct
result of the  relocation  by customers  of various  sales  programs  from North
America and Europe to Asia.

Gross profits in the quarter ended  December 31, 2000,  amounted to $5.2 million
or 24.9% of net  sales,  compared  to $6.5  million or 28.4% of net sales in the
prior year.  Gross profits for the six months amounted to $11.6 million or 26.1%
of net sales  compared to $12 million or 27.5% of net sales in the first half of
the prior year. Gross profits are net of engineering charges associated with new
product development,  which amounted to $1.2 million or 5.6% of net sales in the
current quarter compared to $1.1 million or 4.8% of net sales in the prior year.
Year-to-date  engineering  charges were $2.3 million or 5.3% of net sales in the
current and prior year. The decrease in gross profits in the quarter compared to
the prior year are  primarily  the result of the lower net sales in the quarter.
Gross profits should be favorably impacted in coming quarters due to an increase
in the sales of back panel  connectors as new production  capacity comes on-line
within the Company.


                                       12


Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of the year were
$8.8 million  compared to $8.5 million in the prior year.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses were $4.1 million for the six months ended December 31,
2000,  a decrease  of 9%  compared  to  expenses  of $4.5  million in the second
quarter of the prior year.

The Company  recorded  special and unusual expenses of $0.6 million before taxes
in the current  quarter and $0.4 million  before taxes in the second  quarter of
the prior year.  Year-to-date  special and unusual expenses were $0.8 million in
the current year and $0.6 million in the prior year.  The current year  expenses
include  personnel  costs,  professional  fees and other  costs  related  to the
negotiations,  due diligence and preparations  associated with the agreement and
plan of merger  between 3M and Robinson  Nugent.  The expenses in the prior year
include personnel costs incurred to design and implement the new information and
enterprise   resource   planning  system  in  Europe  and  North  America.   The
implementation of this system was completed in the prior year.

Other income and expense for the three months ended  December 31, 2000,  reflect
expenses of $0.3 million compared to $0.4 million for the comparable three-month
period in the prior  year and $0.5  million  compared  to $0.6  million  for the
comparable  six-month period. Other income and expense reflected currency losses
in the current  quarter of $0.1  million  compared to $0.2 million in the second
quarter  of the prior  year.  Current  and prior  year-to-date  results  include
currency  losses of $0.1  million  and $0.3  million  respectively.  There was a
slight  increase in interest  expense in the  current  quarter and  year-to-date
compared to the prior year due to increased  interest rates.  Currency losses in
the quarter were generated primarily in Asia.

                                       13


The provision for income taxes was provided using the appropriate  effective tax
rates for each of the tax  jurisdictions  in which  the  Company  operates.  The
Company  maintains a valuation  allowance  for tax  benefits of prior period net
operating losses in several jurisdictions. At such time as management is able to
project the  probable  utilization  of all or part of these net  operating  loss
carryforward provisions,  the valuation allowances for these deferred tax assets
will be reversed.

The net income in the quarter  ended  December 31, 2000 amounted to $0.2 million
or $.04 per  share  (dilutive),  compared  to $0.9  million  or $.17  per  share
(dilutive) in the second  quarter of the prior year.  The net income for the six
months  amounted to $1.1 million or $.20 per share  (dilutive)  compared to $1.7
million or $.33 per share (dilutive) in the prior year.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------

Working  capital at December 31,  2000,  amounted to $28.9  million  compared to
$18.5  million at December  31,  1999 and $24.3  million at June 30,  2000.  The
current ratio was 3.3 to 1 at December 31, 2000 compared to 2.3 to 1 at December
31, 1999. The increase in working capital, compared to the prior year, primarily
reflects  a $2  million  increase  in  accounts  receivable  and a $6.7  million
increase in inventories.  Long-term debt excluding current  installments was $10
million as of December 31, 2000, and represented 29% of shareholders'  equity at
December 31, 2000,  compared to $11.4 million or 44% of shareholders'  equity at
December 31, 1999.

The Company believes future working capital and capital expenditure requirements
can be met from cash provided by operating  activities,  existing cash balances,
and borrowings available under the existing credit facilities.
