1.   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
     been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
     for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
     and Article 10 of Regulations S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
     the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
     principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
     management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
     considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating
     results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily

3.   Income taxes include provisions for federal, foreign and state income taxes
     and is based on the Company's estimate of effective income tax rates for
     the full year.  The current tax provision for the first quarter of 1996 and
     1995 is $120 and $200, respectively.

4.   Primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March
     31, 1996 is based upon the weighted average number of common shares
     outstanding and common stock equivalents.  For the three month period ended
     March 31, 1995, earnings (loss) per share was based upon the weighted
     average number of common shares outstanding since inclusion of common stock
     equivalents would be antidilutive.

5.   On April 7, 1995, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
     Circuit rendered a decision on the second appeal by the International
     Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (the "IAM") of a
     supplemental decision and order of the National Labor Relations Board
     ("NLRB") reaffirming an April 1986 decision of the NLRB dismissing
     reinstated unfair labor practice charges brought against the Company by the
     IAM in September 1982.  These charges arose out of a strike which began at
     the Company's Rhode Island operations in October 1981.  Although the NLRB
     has previously upheld dismissal of the reinstated unfair labor practices
     charges, the Appeals Court in its latest decision has stated that the NLRB
     failed to articulate and apply a judicially acceptable standard to
     determine whether certain evidence offered and characterized by the Union
     as being newly discovered was material and of such a nature to justify
     tolling the statute of limitations so as to permit the filing of the
     reinstated unfair labor practice charges.  The Court vacated the judgment
     of the NLRB favorable to the Company and has remanded the case back to the
     NLRB for further proceedings to determine these evidentiary issues and
     their effect on the application of the statute of limitations to the
     reinstated unfair labor practice charges.  The Court has directed that
     should the NLRB rule against the Company on the evidentiary issues
     presented for consideration then it must proceed to determine the merits of
     the reinstated unfair labor practice charges.  Management of the Company
     and its counsel believe the NLRB is not likely to rule that the case must
     go forward on its merits and that a finding of liability against the
     Company in this matter continues to be remote.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 1995)

Orders and Backlog.  Orders during the first quarter of 1996 totaled $84.9
million compared to $79.1 million for the first quarter of 1995.  Foreign
currency fluctuations caused a $0.5 million increase in first quarter 1996
orders compared to the first quarter of 1995.  Excluding the effect of this
item, orders in the first quarter of 1996 increased $5.3 million or 6.7% from
the first quarter of 1995.  The first quarter orders increased both in the U.S.
and Europe.  Backlog at March 31, 1996 increased to $70.2 million compared to
$59.0 million at the end of 1995.

Net Sales.  Net sales in the first quarter of 1996 were $76.2 million, compared
to $74.1 million in the first quarter of 1995.  Foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations caused an increase in net sales in the first quarter of 1996 of
$0.4 million as compared to the first quarter of 1995.  Excluding the effect of
this item, first quarter 1996 net sales increased approximately $1.7 million or
2.3% from first quarter 1995 sales.  Sales increased in Europe for all the
divisions and decreased slightly in the United States.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit margin increased to 32.2% of sales in the first
quarter of 1996 from 31.3% in the first quarter of 1995.  This percentage
increase resulted largely from product sales mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.  Selling, general and
administrative expense in the first quarter of 1996 was $21.8 million or 28.5%
of net sales, representing a decrease from $22.7 million or 30.7% of net sales
in the comparable period in 1995.  The increasing foreign currency exchange
rates in the first quarter of 1996 resulted in increasing translated U.S. dollar
costs of about $0.2 million.  The decrease of $1.1 million, including foreign
currency, is a result of reductions of selling, general and administrative
expenses company wide.

Operating Profit (Loss).  Brown & Sharpe operating profit was $2.8 million in
the first quarter of 1996 compared to an operating profit of $0.3 million in the
first quarter of 1995.  In the United States, operations has an operating profit
of $1.7 million for the first quarter of 1996 as compared with break-even in the
first quarter of 1995.  Foreign operations had an operating profit of $1.1
million in the first quarter of 1996 as compared with an operating profit of
$0.3 million in the first quarter of 1995.
<PAGE>
 
Interest Expense.  Interest expense totaled $2.1 million in the first quarter of
1996 compared to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 1995.  This increase
reflects a $6.4 million increase in the average balance of borrowings, primarily
in the United States, along with higher average interest rates in 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1996, Brown & Sharpe had borrowings of $29.7 million under its
lines of credit compared with total availability at that date of $73.8 million
under the lines of credit. The total borrowings at March 31, 1996 included an
outstanding balance of $14.5 million under the Company's secured three-year
revolving credit facility. The Company has successfully refinanced a $6.1
million outstanding Swiss mortgage and is continuing to negotiate the
refinancing of the other $6.1 million mortgage. The Company incurred a violation
of a current ratio covenant contained in one of its lending agreements and was
granted a waiver for this violation.

Cash Flow.  The net income of $0.5 million increased by depreciation and other
non-cash items amounting to $2.2 million and offset by increases in working
capital amounting to $4.5 million resulted in operations in the first quarter of
1996 using $1.8 million of cash.  In the first quarter of 1995, decreased
working capital of $7.8 million resulted in $8.2 million of cash being provided
by operations.

In the first quarter of 1996, investment transactions used cash of $3.7 million,
of which capital expenditures were $3.6 million, as compared with depreciation
of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 1996.  This compares to investment
transactions using cash of $2.7 million in the first quarter of 1995, of which
capital expenditures amounted to $2.5 million and depreciation amounted to $2.0
million.

Cash provided from financing transactions was $2.1 million in the first quarter
of 1996 compared to $0.1 million used in the 1995 period.

Working Capital.  Working capital was $92.5 million at the end of the first
quarter of 1996 compared to $87.6 million at the end of 1995.  Inventories
increased to $97.5 million at March 31, 1996, an increase of $8.9 million from
the end of 1995, and accounts receivable decreased $0.5 million from year end
1995.  Also, total short and long term borrowing increased $0.9 million to a
total of $103.0 million at March 31, 1996 as compared to $102.1 million
outstanding at December 31, 1995.

Capital Expenditures.  Brown & Sharpe's capital expenditures, net of disposal
proceeds, were approximately $3.6 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared
to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 1995.  Management estimates that capital
expenditures for the remainder of 1996 will amount to approximately $8 million
to $10 million, which includes expenditures amounting to $2.6 million for the
construction of a new facility in Telford, England to replace an existing
facility for which the lease expires and is non-renewable.
