of 1998. Quarter end dates for 1998 are April 4, 1998, July 4, 1998, October 3,
1998 and January 2, 1999. This change did not result in a material difference
for the three or nine month periods ended October 3, 1998.

New Accounting Standard: In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This statement
established standards for separately reporting comprehensive income and its
components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. Components of comprehensive income represent
changes in equity resulting from transactions and other events and circumstances
from nonowner sources. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 1998. The
adoption of this standard did not require additional disclosure for the three or
nine month periods ended October 3, 1998.

Earnings per Share: On July 1, 1998 the Company paid a ten percent stock
dividend to all shareholders of record as of June 16, 1998. In accordance with
SFAS No.128, "Earnings Per Share", earnings per share calculations for prior
periods presented on the accompanying financial statements and on Exhibit 11
have been restated based on the new number of shares.



NOTE B -- ACQUISITION OF APEX MACHINE TOOL COMPANY, INC.

On June 29, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets and
liabilities of Apex Machine Tool Company, Inc.(Apex). In connection with this
acquisition, the Company purchased two buildings from certain shareholders of
Apex. This transaction was recorded as required under purchase accounting;
accordingly the purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition as
follows:

    Accounts receivable                  2,669,637
    Inventories                          1,473,293
    Receivable from former
      Apex shareholders                    262,231
    Prepaid expense and other               27,353
    Property plant & equipment           6,315,700
    Covenant not to compete                100,000
    Cost in excess of net assets
      of business acquired              11,093,502
    Accounts payable and
      Accrued expenses                  (2,088,016)
        Total purchase price            19,853,700


The receivable from the former shareholders of Apex represents the adjustment to
the purchase price for the difference in adjusted net book value of Apex Machine
Tool Company from November 30, 1997 to June 29, 1998. A contingent purchase
option was also executed calling for the purchase of 55 Spring Lane in
Farmington, CT for $1,135,600 which was not closed as of October 3, 1998. The
acquisition was principally funded through borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facility and borrowing under a $14,000,000 term promissory note
with the Company's principal lender due as follows: (a) monthly principal
payments of $83,333 commencing July 1, 1999 and continuing through June 1, 2002,
(b) monthly payments of $250,000 commencing on July 1, 2002 and continuing
through June 1, 2003 and (c) monthly payments of $333,333 commencing July 1,
2003 and continuing through June 1, 2005. Interest is charged monthly at LIBOR
plus 1 1/2. The seller also provided a seller note totaling $2,710,687 relating
to the purchase of the two buildings used in the operation of Apex. This note
requires interest at the rate of 10.12% and is payable on January 1, 2000.

Proforma financial statements relating to the acquisition of Apex were filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 14, 1998 under the Form
8-K/A.

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

As mentioned in the 1997 Annual Report, towards the end of the 4th quarter 1997,
the Company had been successful in obtaining new business from new aerospace
customers. We are pleased to say that while we have continued to grow in our
aerospace markets, we have also grown in new non aerospace markets. During 1997
our largest aerospace customer represented 66% of our sales. Through the third
quarter while our sales with this customer have grown, they now represent only
55% of Gros-Ite's sales. We expect this trend to continue through 1999 as we
grow at a faster rate with our new customers.

With the acquisition of Apex, our largest aerospace customer now accounts for
only 44% of Edac's overall sales.

Sales. The Company's sales increased $4,760,661 or 50.6% for the three months
and $9,240,954 or 32.7% for the nine months ended October 3, 1998 compared to
the comparable periods of 1997. These increases are mainly due to increased
sales in the Large Turning and Precision Engineered Solutions areas. In
addition, we acquired the Apex Machine Tool Company, Inc. on June 29, 1998.
Sales for their third quarter are included for that period.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales as a percent of sales decreased by 1.0% of sales
for the three months and by 5.6% of sales for the nine month period ended
October 3, 1998 compared to the comparable periods of 1997. This was achieved by
increased sales in the higher margin divisions and the spreading of fixed
overhead over higher production levels. Margins in all divisions were enhanced
by continuous improvement techniques such as Kaizen, Lean Thinking, pull systems
and Just in Time.

Selling, General & Administrative. Selling, general and administrative costs
increased $505,247 for the three months and $1,397,037 for the nine month period
ended October 3, 1998 compared to the comparable periods of 1997. The increase
is due to the addition of Apex for the third quarter and increased personnel
related expenses, selling, professional, advertising and promotional expenses.

Interest. Interest expense increased $500,486 or 269.1% for the three months and
$629,194 or 112.0% for the nine months ended October 3, 1998. This increase
reflects the acquisition of Apex Machine Tool Company on June 29, 1998 and
higher bank debt to acquire new machinery.

Liquidity and Capital Expenditures. Working capital as of October 3, 1998 has
decreased by $2,099,670 since December 31, 1997. Capital expenditures of
$5,904,267 have been funded by the Company's bank and an equipment financing
company.

The Apex acquisition was principally funded through borrowings under the
Company's revolving credit facility and borrowing under a $14,000,000 term
promissory note with the Company's principal lender due as follows: (a) monthly
principal payments of $83,333 commencing July 1, 1999 and continuing through
June 1, 2002, (b) monthly payments of $250,000 commencing on July 1, 2002 and
continuing through June 1, 2003 and (c) monthly payments of $333,333 commencing
July 1, 2003 and continuing through June 1, 2005. Interest is charged monthly at
LIBOR plus 1 1/2. The seller also provided a seller note totaling $2,710,687
related to the purchase of the two buildings used in the operation of Apex. This
note bears interest at the rate of 10.12% and is payable on January 1, 2000.

Management believes that the funds generated from operations and its credit
facilities will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for 1998.

Other Matters

The "Year 2000" (or "Y2K") issue effects computer and information technology
("IT") systems, as well as non-IT systems which include embedded technology such
as micro-processors and micro-controllers (or micro-chips) that have date
sensitive programs that do not properly recognize the year 2000. Systems that do
not properly recognize such information could generate inaccurate data or cause
a system to fail, resulting in a business interruption.

The Company has completed a comprehensive inventory and assessment of its
existing IT and non-IT systems and those of the Company's suppliers. This
assessment included obtaining written assurances from key vendors and suppliers
if possible. Costs incurred to date have been minimal.

The Company believes, based on preliminary information, that the costs
associated with remediation and verification to become Y2K compliant will not
have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flow.

Although the Company has taken steps to address the Y2K problem, there can be no
assurance that the failure of the Company and/or its material third parties to
timely attain Y2K compliance or that the failures and/or impacts of broader
compliance failures by telephone, mail, data transfer or other utility or
general service providers of government or private entities will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company. Further, there can be no assurance that
the costs associated with achieving such compliance or any failure to become Y2K
compliant will not be material to the Company's financial position, its results
of operations, or its cash flows.

All statements other than historical statements contained in this report on Form
10-Q constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Without limitation, these forward
looking statements include statements regarding the Company's business strategy
and plans, statements about the adequacy of the Company's working capital and
other financial resources, statements about the Company's Year 2000 compliance
and other statements herein that are not of a historical nature. These
forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future
events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of
which are outside of the Company's control, that could cause actual results to
differ materially from such statements. These include, but are not limited to,
the risk factors set forth in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation
to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
