The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of income has been
prepared to reflect the acquisition of BE Inc. as if it had occurred on November
1, 2001. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of income does not
purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the
acquisition had occurred on the date indicated or indicative of results, which
may be obtained in the future.

The following is a summary of adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma
consolidated condensed statements of income:

  (a) Represents an elimination of royalty income/expense for royalties paid
      to TCC from BE Inc., the offset is included in cost of products sold.

  (b) Adjustment to reflect the change in depreciation expense resulting from
      the write down of property, plant and equipment used in the
      manufacturing process, depreciated on a straight-line basis over an
      average useful life of 8 years.

  (c) Adjustment to reflect increase in interest expense at an average of the
      LIBOR rate for the year plus 200 basis points, on 'L'74 million
      ('L'68 million for the purchase price and 'L'6 million for
      acquisition costs) or about $107 million. A change of 1/8 percent in
      the interest rate would result in a change in interest expense and net
      income of approximately $140,000 and $91,000, before and after tax,
      respectively.

  (d) Adjustment for the tax benefit primarily related to the additional
      interest deduction in the U.S. at a tax rate of 35%.
