(4) The reduction in prepaid expenses reflects the following:
 

                                                           
Reclassification of Bridge Loan borrowing costs and

(5) The adjustments reflect the write-up to fair market value.

 -  Inventory has been adjusted to its fair value as required by Accounting
    Principles Board Opinion No. 16.  This adjustment primarily relates to
    finished parts which are being valued at their selling price, less cost to
    sell, less a selling profit.

 -  Intangible assets consist of engineering drawings and are expected to be
    amortized over 20 years.

 -  Plant and equipment will be amortized over the estimated useful lives of the
    respective assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting
    purposes.  Estimated useful lives are expected to be 20 years for buildings
    and improvements and 10 years for machinery and equipment.

 -  The Company intends to review its property, plant and equipment and 
    intangible assets and obtain appraisals of these assets in order to 
    determine what revisions, if any, should be made to individual accounts.  
    The Company does not expect the appraised values to be materially 
    different than the values assigned in these pro forma financial statements. 

(6) Reflects the following:
 

                                                           
Capitalization of borrowing costs incurred by the Company in
  connection with the Bridge Loan...........................  $3,463
Elimination of Marion assets not acquired by the Company....    (263)
                                                              ------
                                                              $3,200
                                                              ======

    As part of the purchase contract, the Company did not acquire the
    manufacturing facility of Marion. The elimination of direct costs related to
    this facility, including maintenance, security, taxes, insurance, etc.
    results in reductions of approximately $2,239 and $1,120 for the year ended
    December 31, 1996 and the six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. This
    does not include depreciation savings reflected in the table above.
 
    Also as part of the purchase contract, the Company hired only specifically
    identified Marion employees which reflected a department-by-department
    evaluation of personnel required to handle the workload. Various
    subsidiaries of Global have retained all liabilities related to employees
    not permanently hired by the Company. The elimination of salaries and
    benefits from administrative personnel in the fixed manufacturing
    departments (plant management, purchasing, industrial relations, quality
    assurance, etc.) who have not been hired results in savings of $1,773 and
    $886 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the six months ended June 30,
    1997, respectively. An additional $974 and $487 for the year ended December
    31, 1996 and the six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, of
    duplicative nonpayroll costs related to manufacturing (corporate
    allocations, travel costs, outside consultants, and other manufacturing
    items) have been identified.

     In addition, the adjustments to reflect the impact of purchase accounting
     and the amortization of the Bridge Loan fees are as follows:

(4) In addition to the above pro forma adjustments, the Company expects to
    realize significant additional annual cost savings related to headcount
    reductions and related expenses at Marion which have not been included in
    the Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Operations. The primary cost
    savings are related to reduced direct labor costs, engineering and marketing
    headcount reductions, and future closing of parts and service locations as
    summarized below:

     The effect of a 1/8 of 1% change in the interest rate on the Bridge Loan 
     is $56 per annum.
 
 (6) Pro forma income taxes have been provided at local statutory rates by tax
     jurisdiction. Income taxes provided on U.S. operations are offset by 
     pre-bankruptcy net operating loss carryforwards.  The benefit of such net
     operating loss carryforwards would be reflected as a reduction of 
     intangibles rather than the tax provision. 

 (7) "EBITDA" is defined as earnings (loss) before (i) income taxes; (ii) 
     interest expense; (iii) depreciation; (iv) amortization; (v) non-cash stock
     compensation; (vi) loss (gain) on sale of fixed assets; and (vii)
     inventory fair-value adjustment charged to cost of products sold. Since
     cash flow from operations is very important to the Company's future, the
     EBITDA calculation provides a summary review of cash flow performance.
     EBITDA (as defined herein) should not be considered an alternative to
     operating income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of
     operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities determined
     in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity.
        
 (8) For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, 
     earnings consist of earnings before income taxes and fixed charges. 
     Fixed charges consist of interest expense and amortization of debt fees.
