Instruments, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying statements of assets, liabilities and division equity (deficit) of E.I.L. Sales and Service Division (a Division of E.I.L. Instruments, Inc., (a Maryland corporation)) as of October 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related statements of operations, division equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended October 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement described in Note 9 between E.I.L. Instruments, Inc. and Transmation, Inc. dated March 4, 1997. The holders of the Company's warrants outstanding have a put option which, effective January 9, 1997, if exercised, would require the Company to redeem the warrants at fair value, as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement. As of March 4, 1997, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity to redeem the warrants; nor does the Company have alternative financing arranged. These statements have been prepared assuming that E.I.L. Instruments, Inc. will continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of E.I.L. Sales and Service Division as of October 31, 1995 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended October 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Arthur Andersen LLP Baltimore, Maryland, December 17, 1996 (except for the event discussed in Note 9, for which the date is March 4, 1997) 3 4 E.I.L.

SALES AND SERVICE DIVISION (a Division of E.I.L. Instruments, Inc.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 1994, 1995 AND 1996 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: ---------------------- E.I.L. Sales and Service Division (the Division), a division of E.I.L. Instruments, Inc. (the Company), is engaged in the distribution, customization, and repair and calibration of test, measurement and control instrumentation. These financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement described in Note 9 between E.I.L. Instruments, Inc. and Transmation, Inc. dated March 4, 1997. As of January 9, 1997, the Company's warrants outstanding (see Note 2) are eligible to be "put" by the preferred stockholders. In the event that the warrants would be put to the Company, the Company would not have sufficient liquidity to redeem them and does not have alternative financing in place. Management believes that the event described in Note 9, if consummated, would provide sufficient funds to redeem the warrants. In the event that the transaction with Transmation, Inc. is not consummated, management believes that the Company will be able to obtain alternative financing. Inter-Divisional Transactions - ----------------------------- The Company has allocated to the Division various expenses it incurred for corporate services, overhead and interest costs. The amounts incurred for corporate services and overhead allocations are comprised mainly of corporate office salaries, related payroll taxes and employee benefits, professional fees and administrative expenses. Initially, these costs were allocated based on specific identification to the Division to the extent known, then, based on utilization where reasonably identifiable. Finally, all remaining costs were allocated based on the relative percentage of direct payroll expenses of the Division to the total payroll expenses of the Company. The Division's share of the Company's long-term debt, preferred stock and warrants outstanding has been reflected in the accompanying statements of assets, liabilities and division equity (deficit) as Due to the Company, a component of Long-Term Debt. Interest expense was allocated based upon intercompany debt balances, which were initially allocated based upon the relative percentage of the sum of accounts receivable, inventory and property and equipment values of the Division to the sum of those asset category values of the Company. 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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: -------------------------------- Revenue - ------- The Division recognizes revenue as product is shipped to customers. 8 9 Inventories - ----------- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for approximately 94% and 96% of the inventories as of October 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, and cost for the remainder is determined using the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. These methods are utilized as they result in the best matching of costs and revenues for the respective inventory types. In order to compare the Division's financial position to companies on the FIFO method, it is noted that if the FIFO cost basis had been used for the inventories stated on a LIFO cost basis, they would have been $347,100 and $344,700 higher than reported as of October 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The LIFO inventory values of the Division for financial reporting purposes differ from the LIFO inventory values for income tax purposes due to the application of purchase accounting. Inventories for financial statement purposes exceeded inventories for tax purposes by $567,100 and $566,400 at October 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Property and Equipment - ---------------------- Property and equipment are carried at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation expense is determined using the straight-line method for all property and equipment. Depreciation is based on the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and building improvements 20 years Machinery and equipment 7-10 years Furniture and fixtures 5-10 years Computer equipment 3-5 years Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the property's useful life or lease term. Other Assets - ------------ Included in other assets in the accompanying statements of assets, liabilities and division equity (deficit) are fees paid to lending institutions and associated legal fees paid to secure the Company's debt financing. These fees are being amortized over five years, the length of the financing agreement, as additional interest expense on the accompanying statements of operations. For each of the years ended October 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, the Division's amortization of these fees was $75,500. Intangible Assets - ----------------- Intangible assets consist primarily of the excess of the redemption price over the estimated fair market value of net assets acquired and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over forty years. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information 1994 1995 1996 ---- ---- ---- Cash items paid during the year: Interest $864,600 $923,200 $870,900 Income taxes 473,000 519,800 352,400 9 10 3.

The revolving loan bears interest at prime plus 1.5% and includes a commitment fee of one-half of one percent of the unused availability. The Loan and Security Agreement contains certain financial covenants. Senior Term Loan - ---------------- The Company's senior term loan bears interest at prime plus 2.5% and is due in 24 equal quarterly principal payments that began on April 1, 1992. The note is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. 10 11 Subordinated Promissory Notes - ----------------------------- The Company's subordinated promissory notes have a face value of $1,395,000 and were issued in 1992 to related parties of the Company. The promissory notes bear interest at 13.5% and require monthly payments of principal and interest that began February 9, 1995. Redeemable Preferred Stock and Class B Warrants Outstanding - ----------------------------------------------------------- The Company's Redeemable Preferred Stock consists of 3,000 shares of $1.00 par value stock. The shares are entitled to cumulative annual dividends of 9% of the $1,000 redemption value per share. The Division's share of such "dividends" was $236,000 for each of the years ended October 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, and has been included in interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations. Additionally, detachable warrants to purchase approximately 29% of the common stock of the Company at $.10 per share, were issued to the purchasers of the preferred stock. The warrants may be redeemed by the preferred stockholders on or after January 9, 1997. The redemption will occur at a price per share equal to the repurchase price, as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement. The proceeds from the Company's issuance of preferred stock on January 9, 1992, were allocated between the preferred stock and the warrants, based upon relative fair value. The difference between the recorded value at the date of issuance and the estimated repurchase price at the time of redemption is being accreted on the Company's books. The effective interest rate on the preferred stock accretion is approximately 18.5%. The Division's share of allocated accretion on the Company's warrants and preferred stock was $508,100, $824,300 and $543,900 during the fiscal years ended October 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, and has been included in interest expense on the accompanying statements of operations and in long-term debt in the accompanying balance sheet. Any future changes in the estimated repurchase price will be accounted for as a change in estimate. The Division's share of the revolving loan, senior term loan, promissory notes, preferred stock and warrants totaled $11,368,500 and $11,271,100 as of October 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and is presented as Due to the Company, a component of Long-Term Debt. 6.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO-FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1: Basis of Presentation The unaudited pro-forma combined statements of income and balance sheet reflect the acquisition of the assets of the Sales and Service Division of E.I.L. Instruments, Inc. which is to be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, as of the beginning of the most recent fiscal year. The unaudited proforma combined statements also reflect combined results for the most recent interim period (12/31/96). In order to conform with S.E.C. reporting requirements, Transmation's 1/1-12/31/96 unaudited ProForma P&L was determined by combining results reported for the periods 1/1-3/31/96 and 4/1-12/31/96 as calculated using the Company's Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended March 31, 1996 and quarterly report for the 9 months ended December 31, 1996. Transmation's management believes the assumptions used in preparing the unaudited proforma combined financial statements provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of its transactions, that the proforma adjustments give appropriate effect to those adjustments and that the proforma adjustments are properly applied in the unaudited proforma financial statements. Note 2: Proforma Adjustments Unaudited Proforma Adjustments consist of the following: Transmation, Inc. will purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities of the Sales and Service Division of E.I.L. Instruments, Inc. for $22,000,000 cash, subject to adjustment as described in the Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 4, 1997 between Transmation, Inc. and E.I.L. Instruments, Inc. This transaction will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price is allocated to the net assets acquired on the basis of an appraisal performed by an independent appraiser on the long-term assets. Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the assets acquired and is amortized over 20 years. The proforma adjustments to operating expenses in the Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the three months ended December 31, 1996 (both of which are unaudited) represent the amortization of goodwill, and the increase in interest expense and depreciation expense which will result from this transaction. No adjustments are reflected which assume operating or other efficiencies which may result from this combination on a prospective basis. As Transmation did not have sufficient cash as of December 31, 1996 to complete the transaction without incurring additional debt, the proforma adjustment to operating expenses also assumes additional bank borrowings at Transmation's borrowing rate of $8.125%. Transmation's statutory tax rate of 40% is used to calculate the tax effect of unaudited proforma combined statement of income adjustments. 18 19 (c) Exhibits.
