                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       AS OF AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS
                     ENDED OCTOBER 28, 2000 (Unaudited)

On August 31, 2000, the Company, through its subsidiary, Universal
Distribution LLC,  signed an agreement with Rainbo Oil Company and its
president and majority shareholder (Shareholder) to form Rainbo Company LLC
d/b/a Value Independent Parts (Rainbo LLC). Rainbo LLC, of which the Company
and Shareholder are each 50% members, was formed for purposes of acquiring
and operating the automobile parts distribution division (VIP) of Rainbo Oil
Company. The Company and Shareholder each contributed $100,000 in initial
membership contributions to capitalize Rainbo LLC. Additionally, the Company
and Shareholder each loaned $400,000 to Rainbo LLC. These loans bear interest
at 9%, payable annually, with principal due on October 1, 2005.

On September 29, 2000, Rainbo LLC executed an asset purchase agreement to
acquire substantially all assets of VIP. The acquisition was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was approximately
$5,160,000 which was allocated among the acquired assets in the following
approximate amounts:

         Total                                       $5,160,000
                                                     ==========
</TABLE>

The acquisition was financed through bank borrowings totaling approximately
$4,115,000, note payable to seller of approximately $45,000, and the use of
$1,000,000 of cash received by Rainbo LLC from its initial membership
capitalization.

Details regarding the long-term bank borrowings are as follows:

         Rainbo LLC's $2,000,000 revolving credit agreement of which
         $1,800,000 was borrowed to finance the acquisition. Borrowings bear
         interest at a variable rate equal to the bank's prime rate (9.5% at
         October 31, 2000) less 1%, payable monthly. The credit agreement
         matures on September 30, 2001.

         The Company's $3,000,000 revolving credit agreement of which
         approximately $2,815,000 was borrowed related to the Company's
         initial Rainbo LLC membership contribution/loan ($500,000) and to
         finance the acquisition ($2,315,000). Borrowings bear interest at a
         variable rate equal to the bank's prime rate (9.5% at October 31,
         2000) less 1%, payable monthly. The credit agreement matures on
         September 30, 2001.


                                      6

Maximum availability under these agreements is based on a borrowing base
calculated as a percentage of eligible inventory and accounts receivable
amounts. The Company and Rainbo LLC each guarantee the obligations of the
other party. Substantially all inventories and accounts receivable of the
Company and Rainbo LLC were pledged as collateral against outstanding
borrowings. The credit agreements contain certain covenants which requires
the Company to maintain certain tangible net worth and debt to net worth
ratio amounts and limits capital expenditures.

The operations of VIP have been included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements from the date of acquisition, September 29, 2000,
forward. Pro forma information for the 3-month periods ended October 28, 2000
and October 31, 1999, had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of each

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS - The Company is engaged in the business of
remanufacturing and distribution, on a wholesale basis, of engines and other
automobile parts for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury automobiles and trucks. On
October 1, 1998, the Company signed a new sales agreement with Ford Motor
Company authorizing the Company to be a Ford authorized distributor.
Remanufactured engines for non-Ford vehicles are also marketed on a limited
basis. The principal markets for the Company's products are automotive
dealers and jobber supply houses.

PRESENTATION - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Universal Mfg. Co. and its subsidiary, Universal Distribution
LLC. Universal Distribution LLC, owned 99% by Universal Mfg. Co. and 1% by
the Company's president, was established on June 30, 1999 to operate the
Company's distribution operations. The remanufacturing operations remained
within Universal Mfg. Co. A consolidated financial statement also includes
the accounts of Rainbo LLC from date of acquisition (September 29, 2000). All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated to consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES - In preparing financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last -in first-out
method) or market.

DEPRECIATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIRS - Property is depreciated generally as
follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Assets                 Depreciation Method                      Lives
------                 -------------------                      -----
<S>                    <C>                                      <C>
Buildings              Straight-line and declining balance      10 - 31.5 years
Mach & Equip           Declining balance                         7 - 10 years
Furniture & Fix.       Declining balance                         5 - 7 years
Trucks & Auto's        Declining balance                         3 - 5 years
</TABLE>

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and
betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful
service lives. The applicable property accounts are relieved of the cost and
related depreciation upon disposition. Gains or losses are recognized at the
time of disposal.

REVENUE RECOGNITION - Sales and related cost of sales are recognized upon
shipment of product.

CASH EQUIVALENT - For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

WARRANTY - Warranty expense is based upon receipt of warranty claims and
prior historical experience.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
(unaudited)

Financial Instruments - Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
accounts payable are short term in nature and the values at which they are
recorded are considered to be reasonable estimates of their fair market
values.

Earnings Per Share - Earnings per share have been computed on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding. (816,000 shares.)

Company Representation - In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying
unaudited, consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly
the financial position as of October 28, 2000, and the results of operations
and cash flows for the three month periods ending October 28, 2000 and
October 31, 1999. The results of operations for these periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted. The Company suggests that these condensed,
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Form
10-KSB for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2000.

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

Sales for the first quarter were 31% higher than the first quarter a year
ago. This sales increase was due to continued strong sales of remanufactured
engine assemblies, increase in market share of Motorcraft branded service
parts, and the inclusion of one months sales from Rainbo Company LLC dba
Value Independent Parts (VIP). As is indicated in Item 1 of this report, in
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, the Company purchased VIP on September 30,
2000.

Earnings were lower than the first quarter a year ago due to a sales mix of
lower margin products, higher sales and distribution expense, and
extraordinary expenses involved in completing the VIP purchase. Since a year
ago, the engine sales mix has changed from Ford Authorized Remanufactured to
Ford and Motorcraft branded, plus several other remanfactured product lines
were deauthorized by Ford and replaced with Motorcraft branded lines, which
provide lower gross margins. Sales and distribution expenses increased due to
costs incurred in launching and promoting the ReTech line of remanufactured
products, and to delivery costs incurred to improve customer service.
Extraordinary expenses incurred in relation to the acquisition of VIP
affected per share earnings by an estimated $.08 per share.

Inventories are higher at the end of the first quarter compared to a year ago
because the inventories of VIP are included. The notes payable indicate the
debt incurred to fund the purchase of VIP.
