of the Company's Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership of the Company's securities with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners
are required by applicable regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all
forms they file pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely upon a review of the
copies of the forms furnished to the Company, and written representations from
certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required, the Company believes
that during 2001, all filing requirements under Section 16(a) applicable to its
officers, directors and ten percent beneficial owners were complied with in a
timely manner.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

To Our Fellow Stockholders at Farrel Corporation:

We, the members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, are
three independent directors, as defined by NASDAQ. Management is responsible for
the Company's financial reporting process and internal controls. The
responsibility of the Committee is to provide general oversight of the Company's
financial accounting, reporting and underlying internal controls. The Committee,
in conjunction with the Board of Directors, has the ultimate authority for the
selection, evaluation and retention of the independent auditors.

On June 12, 2000, the Board of Directors, upon the Committee's
recommendation, adopted the Audit Committee's charter to comply with new rules
of NASDAQ. A copy of the Committee's charter was attached as Annex I to the
Company's April 30, 2001 Proxy Statement. In 2001, the Committee operated in
accordance with its charter.

The Committee holds regularly scheduled meetings for the purpose of
providing a forum for communication among the directors, the Company's
independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, and the Company's management. During
these meetings, the Committee reviewed and discussed the interim and the audited
financial statements with management and Ernst & Young. In accordance with
Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, the
Committee discussed all required matters with Ernst & Young, including the
conduct of the audit of the Company's financial statements.

In addition, the Committee obtained formal, written disclosures from Ernst
& Young, including a letter affirming their independence as required by
Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1. The information contained in this
letter was discussed with Ernst & Young.

The Committee reviewed aggregate fees billed by Ernst & Young for the year
2001, which are as follows:

Audit Fees.................................... $150,350
Tax Return and Tax Planning Fees.............. 74,800
Audits of Pension and Benefit Plans........... 19,400
Financial Information Systems Design and
Implementation Fees......................... 0
Other......................................... 0
--------
Total Fees.................................... $244,550
--------

The Committee concluded that the non-audit services rendered in 2001 did
not impair the independence of Ernst & Young.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee
recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, inclusion of
the audited financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K,
for the year ended December 31, 2001, for filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Committee has also recommended to the Board that Ernst
& Young be selected as the Company's independent accountants for 2002.

REPORT OF
THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

ROLE OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. The Compensation Committee (the
"Committee") reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors all forms of
remuneration for the directors and executive officers of the Company, including
salary, bonuses, and awards under the 1997 Stock Option Plan. The Committee is
currently composed of three directors, none of whom is or has been at any time
an officer or employee of the Company.

OBJECTIVES OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAMS. The Company's executive
compensation program's objectives are as follows:

o To provide a competitive basic compensation and benefits program in
order to attract and retain quality personnel.

o To provide a performance-oriented environment and programs that
reward individual and team performance, and the Company's success.

o To align executives' financial interests with shareholders' values.

BASE SALARIES. Base salaries are targeted to be moderate yet competitive
in relation to salaries of executive officers in comparably sized companies in
the Company's industry. The Committee reviews management recommendations for
executives' salaries, and also considers independent surveys that provide data
on compensation levels and benefit programs in similar companies. Individual
salary determinations are based on experience and sustained performance, as well
as on the general criteria set forth above.

The salary of Mr. Liebergesell, including his 2001 compensation, is
established pursuant to his employment agreement which sets an annual base
salary of $550,000.

BONUSES. Although the Company does not have a formal bonus program for
executive officers, the Compensation Committee may recommend bonuses to be paid
to executive officers based on Company and individual performance. No bonuses
were awarded in 2001.

1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN AND 1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN. The 1992 Stock Option
Plan and the 1997 Stock Option Plan were designed to secure for the Company and

1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN

Under the 1992 Stock Option Plan, awards of incentive stock options (as
defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), and
non-qualified stock options were permitted to be granted to eligible employees
through January 27, 1997.

The exercise price of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock
options granted under the 1992 Stock Option Plan are not less than 100% of the
fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of grant. With respect to any
person who owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of the
outstanding capital stock of the Company, the exercise price of any incentive
stock options are not less than 110% of the fair market value of such shares at
the time of grant.

Pursuant to the 1992 Stock Option Plan, each non-employee director of the
Company, including members of the Compensation Committee, was granted a
non-qualified stock option to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock on January
27 of each year (beginning January 27, 1992) through January 27, 1996. Mr.
Liebergesell was granted a non-qualified stock option to purchase 40,000 shares
of Common Stock on the 30th day after the end of each fiscal year of the Company
through 1996.

Options granted automatically to non-employee directors and Mr.
Liebergesell have a term of 10 years, and become exercisable as to all shares
covered by the option after one year continuous service after the date of grant
of the option. Options which were granted to employees have a term not in excess
of 10 years, and become exercisable in installments of 25% of the number of
shares covered by the option after the employee completes one, two, three and
four years, respectively, of cumulative service following the date of grant.

1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN

Under the 1997 Stock Option Plan, awards of incentive stock options (as
defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), and
non-qualified stock options are permitted to be granted to eligible employees.

The exercise price of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock
options under the 1997 Stock Option Plan is not less than 100% of the fair
market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of grant. With respect to
any person who owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of the
outstanding capital stock of the Company, the exercise price of any incentive
stock options is not less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares of
Common Stock at the time of grant.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will determine the
time for exercise of each option and each option's expiration date; provided
that no incentive stock option may be exercised more than ten years after the
date of grant and no incentive stock option granted to a 10% Stockholder may be
exercised more than five years after the date of grant.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Compensation Committee consists of Charles S. Jones, Chairman, James
A. Purdy, and Glenn J. Angiolillo. Mr. Jones is an executive officer of First
Funding Corporation and owner of a majority of its capital stock. First Funding
Corporation is a party to a Financial Services Agreement with the Company, the
terms of which are described below. See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions."

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

AGREEMENT WITH FIRST FUNDING CORPORATION

The Company is a party to an agreement with First Funding Corporation
("First Funding") dated June 17, 1986, as amended (the "Financial Services
Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company retains First Funding as its
exclusive financial adviser. Charles S. Jones, a director and a principal
stockholder of the Company, is an executive officer of First Funding and owner
of a majority of its outstanding capital stock. The Financial Services Agreement
may be terminated by either party upon a twelve-month prior written notice to
the other. The agreement is also terminable by the Company in the event that Mr.
Jones is no longer an officer or employee of First Funding.

Under the Financial Services Agreement, the Company pays First Funding an
annual retainer of $450,000 in respect of Mr. Jones' commitment to act on behalf
of the Company. Pursuant to an amendment to the Financial Services Agreement
dated February 8, 2002, First Funding agreed to reduce the annual retainer to
$400,000 for the period March 1, 2002 to March 1, 2003. Mr. Jones has agreed to
serve as Chairman of the Company's Executive Committee and to provide certain
other services as requested by the Company including financial advisory
services, strategic planning, budgeting and forecasting, dispute resolution,
executive assessment, and advice relating to the establishment and/or
modification of the Company's corporate goals, business practices and
objectives. The Company also is billed for out-of-pocket expenses and on an
hourly basis for other First Funding employees who work on the Company's
account; however, since July 1, 2001, and until further notice, First Funding
has agreed to provide these services as part of its annual retainer fee. The
Company also will pay a transaction fee to First Funding in the event of certain
transactions, such as acquisitions, divestitures, mergers, joint ventures and
debt or equity investments.

The amounts paid or accrued to First Funding for services under the
Financial Services Agreement during the Company's most recent fiscal year
totaled approximately $626,000, which includes the retainer and $104,000 of
reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses. From January 1, 2002 through April 24,
2002, the Company has been invoiced by First Funding approximately $171,000,
which includes $12,700 of reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, for services
performed under the Financial Services Agreement in 2002.

INDEBTEDNESS OF MANAGEMENT

From time to time the Company makes advances to management. As of December
31, 2001, Mr. Liebergesell had received advances from the Company totaling
approximately $165,500, approximately $83,000 of which remained outstanding as
of April 26, 2002. The Company does not charge interest on amounts due from
management.

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Company has selected the firm of Ernst & Young LLP, independent
certified public accountants, to serve as independent accountants for the
Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. The decision to retain
Ernst & Young LLP, to serve as independent accountants of the Company was
recommended by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.

It is expected that a representative of Ernst & Young LLP, will be present
at the Meeting and will be available to make a statement (if he or she desires
to do so) and to respond to appropriate questions at the Meeting. If the
stockholders do not ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, the Board of
Directors may consider selection of other independent certified public
accountants to serve as independent accountants, but no assurance can be made
that the Board of Directors will do so or that any other independent certified
public accountants would be willing to serve.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF
THIS SELECTION.

It is presently contemplated that the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
will be held on or about June 12, 2003. Proposals by stockholders intended for
