the beginning of the meeting he objects to holding the meeting or
transacting business at the meeting; and (ii) consideration of a
particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or
purposes described in the notice of the meeting, unless he objects
to considering the matter when it is presented.
A director's attendance at or participation in a meeting
waives any required notice to him of the meeting unless he at the

holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and
does not thereafter vote for or assent to the action taken at the
meeting.

of the Corporation or its subsidiaries ("Non-management Members")
other than the Chief Executive Officer who may, in the Board's

authority with respect to (1) the establishment of cash
compensation (salary, bonuses and perquisites) for the executive
officers of the Corporation and for such other key employees as
may be recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and (2) the
administration of and oversight responsibilities for all employee
benefit plans, including without limitation the retirement plan,
21
<PAGE>
the supplemental pension plan, welfare benefit, medical and dental
plans, but excluding plans under which stock of the Corporation
may be awarded to executive officers ("Stock Incentive Plans").
The Committee shall review management's recommendation concerning
awards under the Stock Incentive Plans, but discretion with
respect to awards under such plans shall be reserved to and
exercised by the Board. It shall be the responsibility of the
Non-management Members to review and evaluate the goals and
performance of the Chief Executive Officer and his evaluation of
key executives. The Compensation Committee shall meet at least
twice a year, and otherwise upon the call of the Chairman, and
shall report at least once a year to the Board of Directors.
Section 3. Audit Committee. The Board of Directors shall
appoint from among its Non-management Members an Audit Committee
consisting of two (2) members (or such other number as the Board
may appoint). The Board shall appoint one member of the Committee
as Chairman. Management Members of the Board shall be counted for
the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at meetings of
the Board of Directors at which the Audit Committee members are
appointed, but shall have no vote upon the membership of the Audit
Committee.
The Audit Committee shall meet each year (i) preceding
the selection of the external auditors to perform the annual
audit, (ii) at least once after these auditors have been selected
and before the audit begins or during the early stages of the
audit, and (iii) at least once after the report of the external
auditors is received. Other meetings may be held as necessary or
22
<PAGE>
convenient. A quorum for any meeting of the Audit Committee shall
be any two members, but there shall be an attempt to have all
members present at each meeting.
The Audit Committee shall report to the Board of
Directors at least once each year, recommending any appropriate
change in operating or accounting practice or in the auditors of
the Corporation and disclosing any acts or practices that are or
may be illegal or contrary to the interests of the Corporation or
to which the attention of the Board should be called for other
reasons, and focusing particularly on the integrity and adequacy
of disclosure of financial information relating to the Corporation
and the identification of any problem areas relating thereto.
The Chairman of the Board of the Corporation may
designate an officer of the Corporation to serve as liaison
between the Audit Committee and the officers. The Audit Committee
or any one or two of its members may interview any employee,
agent, customer or former or potential customer, supplier or
former or potential supplier, auditor or former or potential
auditor, or any other person, or examine any document, at any time
and without offering any reasons so long as such action is in the
discharge of the responsibilities of the Audit Committee. No
officer or employee of the Corporation shall be present at such
interview or examination or seek to learn the substance or subject
of the inquiry, without the consent of the Audit Committee or the
member or members acting. The Audit Committee may consult at any
time with counsel regularly retained by the Corporation, and may
23
<PAGE>
after informing the Board of Directors consult with other counsel,
at the cost of the Corporation.

Exhibit 10.3
September 8, 1983
Mr. Robert V. Lawrence
Director of Engineering
Brenco, Incorporated
Post Office Box 389
Petersburg, Virginia 23803
Dear Mr. Lawrence:
In recognition of your past service to Brenco,
Incorporated, and in consideration of your continued best efforts
on behalf of the Company, the Board of Directors has duly
authorized and approved the following modification in the general
compensation and benefits package provided to you. This
modification is effective as of the date hereof but is premised
upon the occurrence of a "change of control" of Brenco as
hereinafter defined.
As agreed upon by the Board of Directors, if you are
involuntarily transferred to another location or your present
duties are materially altered and you do not consent to said
transfer or alteration, or you are terminated or discharged from
your present position as Director of Engineering of Brenco, as a
result of or following a change in control of the Company, then
you shall be entitled to receive a severance allowance equal to
one year's salary payable in regular semi-monthly installments;
provided, however, that such severance allowance shall be due and
payable only if such transfer, alteration, or termination occurs
within one year of the effective date of the change in control of
Brenco. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no severance allowance
shall be payable hereunder if your duties are modified or
terminated because of death, retirement, just cause, disability or
for any reason other than one directly associated with a change in
control of the company.
For purposes of this letter, "change in control" means a
change in the composition of a majority of the Board of Directors
of Brenco as a result of a successful tender or exchange offer for
Brenco's common stock, the transfer or ownership of 28% or more of
Brenco's voting stock to any person or group of associated or
affiliated persons acting together, the merger or consolidation of
the company with another concern, or the sale of all or
substantially all of its assets.
Sincerely yours,
Charles L. Reed
Chairman, Board of Directors

BRENCO, INCORPORATED
1988 STOCK OPTION PLAN
(As Amended)
1. Definitions. The following terms shall have the meanings
set forth in this Paragraph unless the context requires a different meaning:
1.1 "Agreement" means a written agreement (including any
amendment or supplement thereto) between Brenco and a Participant specifying the
terms and conditions of an Option or SAR granted to such Participant.
1.2 "Board" means the Board of Directors of Brenco.
1.3 "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
1.4 "Committee" means a committee, consisting of not less
than three persons appointed by the Board to administer the Plan. No member of
the Committee shall be eligible to participate, and no person shall become a
member of the Committee if, within one year prior thereto, he shall have been
eligible to participate in the Plan or in any other plan of Brenco or any
Subsidiary entitling the participants therein to acquire Options or SARs of
Brenco. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum,
and all actions of the Committee shall be taken by a majority of those members
voting.
In the event that the Board chooses not to establish a
Committee to administer the Plan, the word "Committee" as used herein shall mean
the Board; provided, however, that any grants of awards under the Plan may be
made by the Board only if a majority of those acting are not eligible to
participate in the Plan or any other plan of Brenco or any Subsidiary entitling
the Participants therein to acquire Options or SARs of Brenco.
1.5 "Common Stock" means the Common Stock of Brenco.
1.6 "Brenco" means Brenco, Incorporated, a Virginia
Corporation.
1.7 "Fair Market Value" means, on any given date, the closing
sales price of Common Stock as quoted in the NASDAQ National Market System, on
the date in question if it is a trading date, or if not, on the first trading
day prior to such day. If the Common Stock is not quoted in the NASDAQ National
Market System, Fair Market Value shall mean the mean between the closing bid and
asked prices as reported by NASDAQ on the date in question if it is a trading
date, or if not, the first trading date prior to such day. If either such
valuation method is inapplicable for any reason, the Fair Market Value shall be
determined by the Committee using any reasonable method in good faith.
1.8 "Grant Date" means the date as of which an Option or SAR
is granted under the Plan.
26
<PAGE>
1.9 "Incentive Stock Option" means an Option that qualifies
as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422A of the Code.
1.10 "Non Qualified Stock Option" means an Option which is not
an Incentive Stock Option.
1.11 "Option" means the right of the holder to purchase from
Brenco a stated number of shares of Common Stock at the price set forth in an
Agreement, which right shall be designated as either an Incentive Stock Option
or Non Qualified Stock Option.
1.12 "Participant" means an employee of Brenco or a
Subsidiary, including an employee who is a member of the Board, who satisfies
the requirements of Paragraph 3 and is selected by the Committee to receive an
Option.
1.13 "Plan" means Brenco, Incorporated 1988 Stock Option Plan.
1.14 "SAR" means a stock appreciation right (which may be
granted only in conjunction with an Option) that entitles the holder to receive,
with respect to each share of Common Stock encompassed by the exercise of such
SAR, the increase in the Fair Market Value of such shares to be payable in
shares of Common Stock, subject to such limitations in amounts as the
Committee may designate in the Agreement.
1.15 "Subsidiary" means any corporation at least 50% of the
total combined voting power of which is owned by Brenco, either directly or
through one or more of its Subsidiaries, within the meaning of Section 425(f) of
the Code and rules and regulations thereunder.
2. Purpose. The Plan is intended to aid Brenco and its
Subsidiaries in attracting and retaining key executive officers and management
personnel with exceptional ability by enabling such executive officers and
management personnel to acquire a proprietary interest in Brenco and to have an
additional incentive to promote its success, as well as to encourage them to
remain in the employ of Brenco or a Subsidiary.
3. Eligibility. Any executive officer or other key employee
of Brenco or one of its Subsidiaries is eligible to be granted one or more
Options or SARs if so employed at the time of such grant. Directors of Brenco
who are employees and are not members of the Committee are eligible for awards
under the Plan.
4. Shares Subject to Options or SARs. The maximum aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options may be granted
under this Plan shall not exceed 1,100,000 shares, except as may be adjusted
pursuant to Paragraph 10. Upon the exercise of any Option or SAR, Brenco may
deliver to the Participant authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. If
an Option is terminated, in whole or in part, for any reason other than its
exercise or the exercise of a related SAR, the number of shares of Common Stock
allocated to the Option or portion thereof may be reallocated to other Options
and SARs to be granted under this Plan. Shares which are subject to Options in
connection with which SARs also have been granted shall be counted only once in
applying the above aggregate share limitation.
27
<PAGE>
5. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee which shall have all the powers necessary for such administration,
including without limitation, the power:
(a) To determine, consistent with the terms and conditions of
the Plan, annually or otherwise from time to time, in consultation with
management of Brenco, (i) which executive officers and key employees of Brenco
and its Subsidiaries shall be Participants to whom Options and SARs shall be
granted; (ii) the number of shares which may be purchased under each Option
or with respect to which SARs may be granted; (iii) the per share Option
exercise price; (iv) the duration of Options and SARs; (v) the time or times at
which each Option or SAR may be exercised and (vi) whether Options shall be
Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options;
(b) To interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind
rules, regulations and guidelines relating to it, and to make all other
determinations necessary or advisable for its administration, all of which
decisions made or actions taken shall be binding and conclusive; and
(c) To keep, or cause to be kept, appropriate records of all
determinations made and actions taken pursuant to the Plan.
The express grant in this Plan of any specific power to the
Committee shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the
Committee. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any act done in good
faith with respect to this Plan or any Agreement, Option or SAR.
6. Terms and Conditions of Options. All Options and SARs
granted by the Committee shall be evidenced by Agreements in such forms as the
Committee from time to time shall approve, subject to the following terms and
conditions:
(a) Each Agreement shall state whether the Option granted is
an Incentive Stock Option or Nonqualified Stock Option and shall state the
number of shares as to which the Option or SAR pertains.
(b) The Option exercise price shall in no case be less than
100% of the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the Grant Date; provided,
however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an individual
who owns more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of
Brenco or its Subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 422A(b) (6) of the Code
and the rules and regulations thereunder, the Option exercise price shall be at
least 110% of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date.
(c) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, the term of
each Option shall be five (5) years from the Grant Date.
(d) No Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part prior
to one (1) year from the Grant Date. Subject to the provisions of this
Paragraph 6(d) Options may be exercised as to all or, from time to time, as to
any part of the total number of shares as to which the right to purchase has
accrued, provided, however, that no Option may be exercised at any one time as
to less than 25 shares of Common Stock unless any smaller number of shares
represents the balance then currently exercisable in which case such balance may
be exercised without regard to any minimum share limitation.
28
<PAGE>
(e) No Option may be granted more than 10 years from the
effective date of the Plan.
(f) Each Option shall provide that it is not transferable by
the Participant otherwise than by will or the law of descent and distribution,
and shall be exercisable, during the Participant's lifetime, only by the
Participant.
(g) During the lifetime of a Participant hereunder, the
Option may be exercised only by him (or his guardian or other representative)
and then only if (i) on the exercise date, he has been in the employ of the
Brenco or one or more of its Subsidiaries, or a combination thereof,
continuously since the first date of his employment by Brenco or one of its
Subsidiaries or (ii) he has terminated his employment and such termination was
because of a permanent disability or retirement under a retirement benefit plan
of Brenco or of one of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that in the case of
such total and permanent disability or retirement under a retirement benefit
plan of Brenco or one of its Subsidiaries, the Participant shall only be
entitled to exercise the Option to the extent exercisable by the Participant at
the date of termination of employment because of such permanent disability or
retirement.
If the employment of a Participant terminates by death while in
the employ of Brenco or a Subsidiary, or if the employment of a Participant
terminates because of permanent disability or retirement under a retirement
benefit plan of Brenco or a Subsidiary and the Participant dies thereafter, then
within one (1) year after his death his Option may be exercised to the extent
that he was entitled to exercise it on the date of his termination from
employment by reason of death, permanent disability or retirement, by the person
or persons to whom the Participant's rights under his Option shall pass by will
or by applicable law, of if no other person has such right, then by his legal
representative, subject, however, to the condition that no Option shall be
exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the Grant Date. Except
as provided in this subparagraph 6(g) above, no Option may be exercised after
termination of employment.
(h) During the 20-day period beginning on a "Transaction
Date" as defined below, a Participant may elect to surrender to Brenco for
cancellation, without regard to the exercise date thereof, all or any portion of
an Option which shall have been granted at least six months previously and to
receive in exchange therefor, in whole shares of Common Stock, an amount
equivalent to the difference between the Option exercise price and the Fair
Market Value of the shares, as hereinafter defined, covered by the portion of
the Option surrendered; provided that no fractional shares or cash in lieu of
any such fractional shares shall be paid. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, the "Fair Market Value" of a share of Common Stock shall be deemed to
be the cash offered for a share of Common Stock in a tender offer, or the value
determined by the Committee in its discretion, of the securities (or combination
of cash and securities) to be delivered for a share of Common Stock to be
acquired in an exchange offer or to be converted in a merger, in each case as of
the Transaction Date. For purposes of this subparagraph (h), a "Transaction
Date" shall mean the date on which an offeror other than Brenco shall first
publicly offer to acquire shares of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or
exchange offer or the date of mailing the proxy materials to the shareholders
29
<PAGE>
concerning the approval of a merger or other reorganization which shall result
in Common Stock being converted into cash or securities of another corporation.
This right shall be exercised only during the 20-day period beginning on the
Transaction Date in accordance with the other terms and conditions imposed on
exercise of Options by Paragraph 8 hereof.
7. Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding
the provisions of Paragraph 6, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at
the time the Incentive Stock Options are granted) of the Common Stock with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are exercisable
for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year may not exceed
$100,000 or such lesser or greater amount as shall be specified in Section 422A
of the Code and the rules and regulations thereunder. Incentive Stock Options
granted after December 31, 1987 under this Plan and under all plans of Brenco
and any of its Subsidiaries shall be aggregated for purposes of this limitation.
8. Exercise of Options. An Option may be exercised in whole
or in part by delivery to Brenco, at the office of its Secretary at Petersburg,
Virginia, of written notice of the exercise identifying the Option and stating
the number of shares with respect to which it is being exercised, in such form
as the Committee may prescribe, accompanied by payment for the Common Stock with
respect to which the Option is exercised. Payment of the purchase price may be
made in cash or, with the consent of the Committee, by delivery of shares of
Common Stock owned by Participant valued at Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise of the Option, or, with the consent of the Committee, a combination
thereof.
9. Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant SARs
in connection with any Option (whether granted before or concurrently with the
SAR) with respect to the number of shares subject to the Option or any lesser
number of shares. The Committee shall determine from among those eligible, the
persons to whom, and the time or times at which, SARs should be granted and the
number of shares which should be subject to SARs.
Each SAR granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an
Agreement specifying the number of shares subject thereto and such terms and
conditions consistent with the Plan as the Committee shall determine.
SARs shall expire no later than the expiration of the related
Option; shall be transferable only when and under the same conditions as the
related Option is transferable; shall be exercisable only when the related
Option is eligible to be exercised; and may not be exercised unless the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the related Option exceeds the
exercise price of the Option. In no event shall any SAR be exercisable for
cash.
A SAR may be exercised in whole or in part upon the delivery to
Brenco of written notice of the exercise in such form as the Committee may
prescribe.
Upon the exercise of a SAR, the holder shall be entitled to the
amount by which the date of exercise Fair Market Value of the number of shares
of Common Stock as to which the SAR was exercised exceeds the exercise price of
the related Option for that number of shares.
30
<PAGE>
Payment to the holder shall be made in whole shares of Common
Stock, valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, provided that no
fractional shares or cash in lieu of any such fractional share shall be paid.
The Committee shall not consent to any election for settlement of SARs in cash
in the case of any Participant.
Upon the exercise of a SAR, the number of shares of Common
Stock subject to the related Option shall be reduced by the number of shares
with respect to which the SAR was exercised.
Upon the exercise of an Option, the number of shares of Common
Stock subject to the related SAR shall be reduced by the number by which the
number of shares with respect to which the Option was exercised exceeds any
difference between the number of shares subject to the Option immediately before
the exercise and the number of shares with respect to which the SAR was
exercisable immediately before the exercise.
10. Adjustment Upon Change in Common Stock. If Brenco
effects one or more stock dividends, stock splits, subdivisions or
consolidations of shares, or other similar changes in capitalization, the
maximum number of shares as to which Options and SARs may be granted under the
Plan shall be proportionately adjusted, and the Committee shall make equitable
adjustments in the number and option price of the shares which are or may become
the subject to Options then outstanding or thereafter granted.
Neither Options nor SARs shall be affected or caused to be
adjusted by the issuance by Brenco of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property,
or for labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights
or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations
of Brenco convertible into such shares or other securities.
11. Compliance with Law and Approval of Regulatory
Authorities. No Option or SAR shall be exercisable, no Common Stock shall be
delivered, and no payment shall be made under this Plan except in compliance
with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including, without
limitation, securities laws, and withholding tax requirements. Brenco shall
have the right to rely on the advice of counsel as to such compliance. Any
certificates issued to evidence Common Stock for which an Option or SAR is
exercised may bear such legends and statements as the Committee may deem
advisable to assure compliance with Federal and state laws and regulations. No
Option or SAR shall be exercisable, no Common Stock shall be issued, no
certificate for shares shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under
this Plan until Brenco has obtained such consent or approval as the Committee
may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters.
12. General Provisions. Neither the adoption of this Plan,
nor any documents describing or referring to this Plan (or any part thereof)
shall confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employ of Brenco or
a Subsidiary, or in any way affect any right and power of Brenco or a Subsidiary
to terminate the employment of any employee at any time with or without cause.
The establishment of the Plan does not confer upon any employee any legal or
equitable right against Brenco, any Subsidiary, or the Committee, except as
expressly provided in the Plan.
31
<PAGE>
Neither absence on leave, if approved by Brenco, nor any
transfer between the service of Brenco and that of a Subsidiary, or between
Subsidiaries, shall be considered a termination of employment.
An Optionee shall have no rights as a record shareholder with
respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of a
stock certificate for such shares.
This Plan shall be unfunded, and Brenco shall not be required
to segregate any assets that may at any time represent grants under the Plan.
No obligation of Brenco to any person with respect to any grant under this Plan
shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any
property of Brenco.
The interests of any Participant under the Plan are not subject
to the claims of creditors and may not, in any way, be assigned, alienated or
encumbered. No Option or SAR, nor any rights and privileges pertaining thereto,
shall be transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, by operation of law or
otherwise, except as otherwise provided herein, nor shall such Option or SAR be
subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
All money received by Brenco in payment upon the exercise of an
Option shall constitute part of its general funds, available for any corporate
purpose.
The provisions of the Plan are intended to comply with the
provisions of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
13. Amendment. The Board may amend or terminate this Plan
from time to time; provided, however, that no amendment may become effective
until shareholder approval is obtained if (i) except as provided in Paragraph
10, the amendment increases the aggregate number of shares that may be issued
pursuant to the exercise of Options or SARs, (ii) the amendment materially
modifies the requirements as to the eligibility for participation in the Plan;
or (iii) materially increases the benefits accruing to Participants.
Brenco, may, without approval of shareholders of the
Corporation, accept the surrender of, and cancel outstanding Options (to the
extent not therefore exercised) and, subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan, grant new Options in substitution therefor at an Option exercise price in
conformity with the requirements of Paragraph 6(b), but which is lower than
provided for in the Options surrendered.
14. Effective Date and Duration of Plan. The effective date
of this Plan shall be April 21, 1988, but only if it is approved by the
affirmative vote of a majority of shares of Common Stock entitled to vote,
present or represented by proxy at the 1988 Annual Meeting of shareholders.
Unless sooner terminated by the Board, this Plan will terminate on April 20,
1988, except that Options and SARs granted prior to that date shall remain valid
in accordance with their terms.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1.
Significant Accounting Policies
The company's operations are primarily in the bearing and forging industries.
Significant accounting policies follow:
Principles of Consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the company considers all commercial paper with
a purchased maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost for approximately one
half of inventories is determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and the remaining
one half on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over their estimated
useful lives of 20 to 45 years for buildings and 4 to 12 years for machinery and equipment.
Depreciation is computed primarily on the straight-line method.
Income Taxes:
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are
recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary
differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities will be
adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. See
Note 3 regarding a change in the method of accounting for income taxes.
Net Income per Share:
Net income per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the year. Issuance of the shares upon exercise of all options
outstanding would not have a material effect upon net income per share.
Note 2.
Inventories
The FIFO cost of LIFO inventories would have been $1,225,000, $1,430,000, and
$1,248,000 higher at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, than at LIFO values.
Reductions of inventory quantities in 1993 and 1992 resulted in a liquidation of LIFO
inventory quantities carried at costs prevailing in prior years which were lower than
current costs. The effect of this reduction in 1993 was to increase net income by
approximately $127,000 or $.01 per share, net of additional decrease to the reserve due to
current year price changes. The effect on net income for 1992 was not material.
Note 3.
Accounting Change and Income Tax Matters
Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. The adoption of Statement 109 changes the company's method of accounting for
income taxes from the deferred method to a liability method. Under the deferred method,
the company deferred the past tax effects of timing differences between financial reporting
and taxable income. As explained, in Note 1, the liability method requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of
temporary differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax
bases. The effect on earnings of adopting this statement was not material.

Pension Plan and Retirement Plan
The company and its subsidiaries have a defined benefit retirement plan covering
substantially all employees. The company accounts for the plan in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles which require, in general, that the cost of
benefits be accrued during the period of employee service. The company's funding policy is
to make the minimum annual contribution, if required by applicable regulations, plus such
amounts as the company may determine to be appropriate from time to time.

The company and its subsidiaries also have a defined contribution plan. Expense
incurred on behalf of this plan was $867,000, $791,000 and $656,000 in 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.
Note 5.
Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit
The company has outstanding senior unsecured notes payable in the amount of
$10,000,000. The notes are due in annual installments of $1,250,000, beginning in 1995,
with a final payment due in 2002. Interest at 7.50% is payable semi-annually. The note
agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including maintenance of minimum
consolidated net worth, which restricts the amount of dividends. Approximately $6,200,000
of retained earnings were available for dividends at December 31, 1993.
The company has an agreement with a bank to borrow $1,000,000 in 1994 on an unsecured
basis, to be repaid in quarterly installments of approximately $26,000 over a 9 year
period, plus interest at 7.06%.
The company also has available $5,000,000 in a line of credit with a bank. At
December 31, 1993 and 1992, there were no outstanding borrowings under the line, nor were
there any borrowings under the line at any time during 1993 or 1991. The maximum amount
outstanding at any month-end during 1992 was $1,000,000. The average amount outstanding
during 1992, computed on month-end balances, was $250,000. The weighted average interest
rate during 1992, computed on months outstanding, was 4.57%.
Total interest expense was $740,844 for 1993 and $218,000 for 1992 (none in 1991).
Note 6.
Stock Participation Plans
The company has options outstanding under key employee stock option plans. Options
expire five years from the date of grant, are non-transferable other than at death, and are
exercisable 25% at the end of one year, one and one-half years, two years, and three years
after date of grant. The option price of the stock is equal to its market value at the
date of grant.
At December 31, 1993 there were 181,031 shares which were exercisable, and 530,275
shares are reserved for future issuance.

For all other employees, the company will give one share of Brenco stock for each four
shares purchased by the employee up to 10% of his or her base compensation. Under this
plan, shares were issued as follows: 1,945 in 1993, 3,268 in 1992, and 2,700 in 1991.
The company has a restricted stock plan which provides for the award of shares of
common stock to key employees. The company has reserved 100,000 shares of unissued common
stock for this plan. The period of restriction ranges from 2 years to 5 years. During the
period of restriction the employee will have the right to vote such shares and to receive
dividends. There were 16,000 shares granted under this plan for the year ended December 31,
1993, 16,750 granted in 1992, and 11,500 granted in 1991.
Note 7.
Export Sales and Major Customers
Sales to foreign customers amounted to $17,849,000 in 1993, $11,094,000 in 1992, and
$14,147,000 in 1991. No one customer accounted for more than 10% of sales in 1993, 1992,
or 1991.

Note 8.
Commitment and Contingent Liability
During 1990, the company received a cost estimate for a proposed remediation plan from
outside consultants who had been conducting environmental studies at a former foundry site
that has been inactive since 1979. The results of the studies indicated that the estimated
costs of the proposed remediation plan would be $2,600,000. Based on this estimate, the
company established a reserve for this amount believing it to be a reasonable estimate of
the expenditures to be incurred. The reserve was increased by $300,000 in 1991 and
$300,000 in 1992 in anticipation of the impact of inflation on estimated costs of the
proposed remediation plan. In November, 1992 the company received approval from the
appropriate state regulatory agency to proceed with a plan of actual site restoration. The
remediation process began in December, 1992.
During 1993, the company and outside consultants reevaluated the expected cost
estimate of the remediation plan. Based on the results of this study, an additional
$2,300,000 has been recorded to the reserve to account for the expected cost to complete
the remediation plan. Actual costs may differ from the reserve which has been established.
The effects of the special charge recorded in 1993 for the estimated additional
expenditures was to reduce net income by approximately $1,414,000 or $.14 per share. The
charges in 1992 and 1991 decreased net income by approximately $185,000, or $.02 per share
in each year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Brenco, Incorporated
Petersburg, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brenco,
Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993.
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.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brenco,
Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the company
changed its method of accounting for income taxes in 1993.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Net sales in 1993 increased 18% over sales in 1992, to $98,724,000.
Railroad products and services were up 20%, to $79,859,000 which accounted
for the major portion of the increase. Export sales of railroad products,
which were off $3,053,000 in 1992 compared to 1991, recovered nicely to
$17,849,000, an increase of $6,755,000. Sales for Quality Bearing Service
(QBS), our reconditioning subsidiary, were up $7,837,000 as we continue to
gain market share. The revenues of Rail Link, our rail switching subsidiary
were up $1,096,000, with the addition of three additional switching
locations.
Net sales in 1992 increased 6% over sales in 1991, to $83,652,000.
Automotive forgings were up $4,071,000, or 59% while railroad products and
services were down $442,000. Sales for QBS were up $4,453,000 in 1992 over
1991 due principally to market share gains. The growth of QBS revenues
helped offset the $3,053,000 decline in export sales in 1992 compared to
1991, resulting in a slight decrease in railroad products and services over
1991.
Operating income rose 167% in 1993 to $9,311,000, compared to
$3,488,000 in 1992. The increase in operating income in 1993 was primarily
the result of higher sales volumes and improvement in margins in our QBS
subsidiary. In the fourth quarter of 1993 a special charge to earnings was
made in the amount of $2,300,000, representing anticipated environmental
expenditures for our former foundry site that has been inactive since 1979.
As a consequence, net income for 1993 was $4,241,000 or $.43 per share,
compared to $1,977,000 or $.20 per share in 1992, an increase of 115%.
Net income for 1992 was $1,977,000, or $.20 per share, compared to
$4,455,000 or $.46 per share in 1991, a decrease of 56%. While sales were
higher in 1992, growth came in lower margin businesses. This coupled with
depressed pricing in our principal product line, bearings for new railcars
and bearing reconditioning services, resulted in reduced earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Commitments
Cash and cash equivalents were $3,582,000 at December 31, 1993,
compared to $6,218,000 at the end of 1992 and $1,387,000 at the end of 1991.
Capital expenditures totaled $8,815,000 in 1993, compared to $5,533,000
in 1992 and $4,421,000 in 1991. Capital expenditures in 1994 are expected
to increase to approximately $9,613,000, which includes $2,890,000 of
carryovers from prior years plus $6,723,000 in new projects approved for
1994. We expect to finish the Puddledock plant site cleanup in the first
quarter.
During 1992 we completed the placement of $10,000,000 in senior
unsecured notes, to provide funding for our planned capital outlays and
environmental expenditures.
During 1993 we increased our investment in accounts receivable by
$1,711,000, to $14,565,000. Two invoices, which were due for payment by
December 31, totaling $1,538,000 were not collected until early January.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 4.23 at December
31, 1993, as compared to current ratios of 5.01 and 7.75 at the end of 1992
and 1991, respectively. The total amount of working capital decreased by
$2,257,000 to $28,307,000 at the end of 1993. This compares to $30,564,000
and $24,240,000 at the end of the prior two years. The increase in 1992
over 1991 was the result of the placement of the senior notes while the
decrease in 1993 from 1992 is the result of putting the monies from the
senior notes to use.
The company has a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit. This line was
not used during 1993. Management believes that its cash balances and
earnings before depreciation charges in the coming year will be adequate to
cover its capital needs and dividend payments for 1994.
