ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Refer to Item 5. Additional Information.

ITEM 5.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

As disclosed in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000, UNOVA, Inc. ("UNOVA") is currently in discussions with banks
to amend or replace its existing primary credit agreement and asset
securitization agreements.

In connection with these discussions, on November 13, 2000, UNOVA entered into
an Amendment and Waiver ("Amendment No. 6") with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
of New York ("Morgan Guaranty") and the other lenders under UNOVA's principal
credit agreement, and concurrent with Amendment No. 6 also entered into a Pledge
Agreement and a Guaranty and Security Agreement with Morgan Guaranty, as
collateral agent. Under Amendment No. 6 and these related agreements, (i) the
lenders waived compliance with certain financial ratio covenants under the
credit agreement through January 31, 2001, (ii) substantially all of UNOVA's
domestic subsidiaries became guarantors of UNOVA's obligations under the credit
agreement, (iii) substantially all of the assets of UNOVA, Inc. and its domestic
subsidiaries other than real property and other than accounts receivable and
inventory subject to UNOVA's asset securitization program were pledged as
security for UNOVA's obligations under the credit agreement (iv) the aggregate
amount of borrowings permitted under the credit agreement was reduced to $245
million and (v) consolidated debt, which does not include existing asset
securitization, was limited to $485 million.

Management believes that the current amendment provides adequate time and
liquidity to complete its bank negotiations and maintain normal operations.
However, no assurances can be given as to the ultimate outcome of these
negotiations. This paragraph includes certain forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
