INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Stockholders of
 Puroflow Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Puroflow Incorporated and 
subsidiaries at January 31, 1996, and the related statement of operations, 
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.

The 1995 financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report 
dated May 25, 1995, on those statements included an explanatory paragraph 
describing conditions that raised substantial doubt about the Company's 
ability to continue as a going concern.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph 
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
Puroflow Incorporated and subsidiaries at January 31, 1996, and the related 
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year 
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Stockholders of
   Puroflow Incorporated:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Puroflow 
Incorporated and its subsidiaries as of January 31, 1995 and 1994, and the 
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash 
flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 1995. These 
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements.

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.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all 
material respects, the financial position of Puroflow Incorporated and its 
subsidiaries as of January 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their 
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period 
ended January 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statement have been prepared assuming 
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to 
the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of 
$2,372,156, $565,926 and $2,674,174 for the years ended January 31, 1995, 
1994 and 1993, respectively, and has a working capital deficiency of 
$1,213,876 at January 31, 1995. Additionally, on May 1, 1995, the Company 
entered into a stipulation for the appointment of a receiver resulting from 
a lawsuit filed by the Company's bank due to the Company's default on its 
obligations under various credit agreements with the bank. Hence, the Company 
continues to be without an adequate long-term financial arrangement. The 
Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to 
satisfactorily resolve the litigation with its bank, obtain a long-term 
financing arrangement, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations 
on a timely basis and ultimately return to profitable operations. The absence 
of the foregoing raises a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to 
continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are 
also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any 
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


ORGANIZATION

Puroflow Incorporated was organized on May 15, 1961 under the laws of the State
of Delaware.  Puroflow Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries (together
referred therein as the "Company") specializes primarily in designing and
manufacturing automotive airbag filters and high performance filters.  The
Company is located in Van Nuys, California, and does business with customers
throughout the world, most of which are located within the United States.

On May 1, 1995, the Superior Court of California appointed a Receiver as a
result of a lawsuit filed by the Company's bank.  The Company was in default of
its obligations under various credit agreements with the bank.  The Receiver has
assumed jurisdiction over all of the Company's assets, which are now in the
possession of the Receiver's estate, and held for the benefit of all creditors
and shareholders.  The Receiver is not obligated to pay liabilities that existed
prior to his appointment; however, the Receiver may elect to pay certain of
those liabilities with the leave of the Court.  The Receiver is presently
working with the Company's management in operating the business.


CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Puroflow Corporation, Decca Valves Corporation,
Michigan Dynamics Inc., and Ultra Dynamics Corporation.  Material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.


INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost of market on a first-in, first-out
basis, and consists of the following items:

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is computed using the
straight line method based

                           See independent auditors' report



                                         F-5

upon the estimated useful lives of the assets, except for leasehold improvements
which are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the
improvements.  The estimated useful lives are as follows:

                    CLASSIFICATION                       LIFE
              -----------------------                 ----------
              Machinery and equipment                 5-15 years
              Automobile                                5 years
              Tooling and dies                          5 years
              Leasehold Improvement                     5 years

INCOME TAXES

The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes.


CASH FLOWS

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash
equivalents to include cash only and to exclude any near-cash short-term
investments.


ESTIMATES

Generally accepted accounting principles require that the financial statements
include estimates by management in the valuation of certain assets and
liabilities.  The Company's management estimates the reserve for doubtful
accounts, the reserve for obsolete inventory, the useful lives of property and
equipment and the reserve for contingencies.  Management uses its historical
record and knowledge of its business in making these estimates.


RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts previously reported in the Company's 1995 and 1994 financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted during
1996.  Such reclassifications had no effect on the net losses as previously
reported.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and development expenditures are expenses as incurred and totaled
approximately $28,000, $381,000 and $207,000 for the years ended January 31,
1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.


EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of the net income (loss) per common share (primary) is based on
the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
outstanding.  The weighted average shares outstanding were 4,631,740,
4,508,521, and 3,724,271 during the years ended January 31, 1996, 1995, and
1994, respectively.

NOTE 3 - LINE OF CREDIT

On November 5, 1993, the Company entered into a security and loan agreement with
its bank under which it could obtain credit up to 65% of certain accounts
receivable, but not in excess of $1,200,000, at prime plus 3 1/2%.  This loan is
secured by accounts receivable, inventories and a first priority interest in all
unencumbered assets, and matures in June, 1996.

During the fiscal year, the Company defaulted on its loans, resulting in the
appointment of a Receiver (See Note 4).  All collections of accounts and
inventory proceeds shall be applied to the Company's loan account.  Any credit
given by the bank upon receipt of said proceeds is conditional credit subject to
final collection.  Outstanding balances under this line of credit were $235,857
and $810,003 at January 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The Company is in breach of its covenants under the terms of its bank
agreements.  As discussed in Note 1, a Receiver is now in possession of the
assets of the Company for the benefit of creditors.  Accordingly, all amounts
are classified as current.

Under the first amendment to the stipulation appointing a Receiver dated August
31, 1995, the bank extended its forbearance period to June 15, 1996.  Under the
agreement beginning on January 1, 1996, the Company is required to make
principal payments of at least $20,000 per month on the notes payable to the
bank.  On February 16, 1996, the bank, in order to facilitate the Company's
efforts to consummate a private placement, extended the forbearance period to
December 31, 1996, and agreed to reduce the interest rate for the line of credit
by 1/4%.  In consideration, the Company agreed to make a $500,000 principal
payment on notes payable to the bank from the proceeds of the planned private
placement offering (Note 13).

For the year ended January 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, interest paid in cash
totaled $263,627, $305,627, and $346,424, respectively.


NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTION PLANS

In 1995, the Company implemented stock option plans which provide for the
granting of options to certain officers and key employees to purchase shares of
its common stock within prescribed period at prices that vary from $0.25 to
$0.75.  Share activity during 1995 under the Company's stock option plans is
summarized below:

Statement of Financial Accounting No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", requires companies to measure employee stock compensation plans
based on the fair value method of accounting.  However, the statement allows the
alternative of continued use of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", with pro-forma disclosure of net
income earnings per share determined as if the fair value based method had been
applied in measuring compensation cost.  The Company will adopt the standard in
the year ended January 31, 1997, and expects to elect the continued use of APB
No. 25.  Pro-forma disclosure is expected to be immaterial.

$3,342,000 for federal income tax purposes, and $2,709,000 for state income tax
purposes, at January 31, 1996.  The Company's net operating loss carryforwards

NOTE 12 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 15, 1995, the Company sold certain inventory, equipment, trade name,
contracts and work in process, of its wholly owned subsidiary Decca Valves
Corporation, leading to a discontinuation of its related operations.  The assets
were sold for a consideration of $305,000 cash.  During the year ended January
31, 1996, the operations of its wholly owned subsidiary Michigan Dynamics, Inc.
were also discontinued.  The remaining assets of this subsidiary have been
transferred to Puroflow Corporation.

In November 1994, the Company sold the operating assets of its ultraviolet water
purification products subsidiary, Ultra Dynamics, including inventories,
property and intangible assets for $234,629 consisting of $100,000 cash and a
note receivable of $134,629.

The disposition of these assets have been accounted for as discontinued
operations and accordingly, the operating results of the subsidiaries are
segregated and reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations.  The prior year's financial statements
have been restated  to reflect the discontinued operations.  Revenues applicable
to the discontinued operations were $326,509, $2,615,540, and $3,868,347 for the
years ended January 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.


NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On March 26, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with an investment
banker to raise equity through a private placement offering.  The plan is to
sell shares of the Company's common stock with a 1,200,000 share minimum, and
2,500,000 share maximum.  The purchase price is set at $0.80 per share.  The
Company will be entitled to 90% of the net proceeds, with the remainder being
commissions and expenses.  The agent is entitled to a 24 month option to
purchase 7% of the amount of shares sold, at an exercisable price of $0.80 per
share.  The net proceeds of the offering will be used to reduce bank debt by
$500,000, with the remainder for general corporate purposes.  The Company plans
to register the securities within six months of the closing of the offering.
There can be no assurance that this offer can be completed successfully.
