               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
               -------------------------------------------------


Brown & Sharpe Savings and Retirement Plan
 for Management Employees Committee
Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Company


    We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Brown & Sharpe Savings and Retirement Plan for Management
Employees (the Plan) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years
then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

    Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1995, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental schedules have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

     THE BROWN & SHARPE SAVINGS & RETIREMENT PLAN FOR MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         -----------------------------

1.  PLAN DESCRIPTION
    ----------------

    The following description of The Brown & Sharpe Savings and Retirement Plan
for Management Employees (the "Plan") provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for more complete
details.

    GENERAL
    -------

        The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible full-time
    salaried employees of Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Company (the "Company")
    and its affiliated companies who participate in the Plan.  Such employees
    are immediately eligible to make deferred salary contributions to the Plan.
    One year of service is required to become a participant receiving Company
    contributions.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
    Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.

        As a result of the Company's acquisition of DEA S.p.A. on September 28,
    1994, participants of the Digital Electronic Automation, Inc. Tax-Deferred
    Savings Plan (the DEA Plan) became eligible to participate in the Plan on
    April 1, 1995.  Pursuant to the terms of the DEA Plan, former DEA employees
    may select an annuity as a distribution option under the Plan.  In May 1996,
    approximately $1,947,740 of net assets were transferred from the DEA Plan to
    the Plan.

    CONTRIBUTIONS
    -------------

        The Plan permits a participant to make deferred salary contributions to
    the Plan equal to 2% to 16% of compensation up to a maximum of $9,240 in
    1995 and in 1994, (indexed in future years) which is not subject to federal
    income tax until distributed.  Contributions are invested at the direction
    of the employee in one or more investment alternatives, or "Funds," as
    described below.

        The Company may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, make a
    supplemental contribution of 4% of annual compensation plus 4% of the amount
    over the Social Security wage base to the account of each participant to be
    invested as instructed by the participant.  The Company's supplemental
    contributions for 1995 and 1994 were $759,023 and $618,050, respectively.

        In addition, the Plan provides for a Company contribution, or subsidy,
    equal to one-quarter of the amount of each deferred salary contribution
    invested directly in the Company Stock Fund.  Such Company contributions for
    1995 and 1994 were $29,366 and $23,375, respectively.

    PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
    --------------------

        A separate account is established for each participant when enrolled in
    the Plan.  Each participant's account is credited with participant salary
    deferrals, Company contributions, and an allocation of earnings of the Funds
    in which such participant's account is invested.  Allocations, as determined
    by a monthly valuation, are credited ratably among all participants in each
    Fund.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                   -----------------------------------------

    INVESTMENTS
    -----------

         Participants direct the trustee to put contributions in one or more of
    the following investment alternatives in multiples of 10%:

    (1) the Diversified Fund, managed by Frontier Capital Management, Inc.,
    consisting primarily of a diversified portfolio of stock and fixed income
    securities; (2) the Company Stock Fund, managed by Fleet National Bank,
    consisting primarily of Company common stock; (3) the Money Market Fund,
    invested by Fleet National Bank through Fidelity Management & Research
    Company consisting primarily of obligations of the U.S. Government or its
    agencies, banks and business corporations (other than the Company); or (4)
    the Guaranteed Interest Fund, consisting primarily of guaranteed investment
    contracts issued by American International Life Assurance Company of New
    York in 1994, Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company in 1992 and 1993, and
    Allstate Life Insurance Company in 1991.  These guaranteed investment
    contracts are agreements under which the issuer has agreed to pay the
    investor a guaranteed rate of interest over terms ranging from 3 to 5 years.
    The contracts automatically terminate at maturity date.  A penalty is
    imposed upon early termination of contract.  The issuers of these contracts
    are insurance companies, and because of this, the contracts are more
    susceptible to factors adversely affecting the insurance industry than
    similar contracts issued by parties other than insurance companies.
    Transfers between investment funds can be made subject to certain rules.

         The Plan assets and those of the Brown & Sharpe Savings and Retirement
    Plan are held in a trust administered by Fleet National Bank as Trustee.
    The assets and activity  within this trust are allocated between the two
    plans based on the underlying participant records of each plan.

         In years when Company contributions are made, forfeitures are used
    first to reduce Company contributions and then to pay Plan expenses.  In
    1995 and 1994, Plan expenses were paid entirely by the Company.

    BENEFITS
    --------

         A participant is always vested 100% in deferred salary contributions
    and Company stock purchased at a discount and becomes 100% vested in Company
    contributions after 3 years of service.

         Upon termination of service, participants are eligible to receive the
    vested value of their account in a lump sum payment or, if retired, in equal
    annual installments over a 10-year period or deferred until a future date no
    later than age 70-1/2.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                   -----------------------------------------

         While in service, a participant may apply for a hardship withdrawal of
    funds subject to restrictive IRS rules and excise tax.  The Plan also
    permits a participant to borrow against his/her account and repay the loan
    by payroll deduction.

         Plan participants who are no longer employees of the Company but who

    management trust and recordkeeping fee based on actual cost.  These
    participant account balances amount to $3,148,482 at December 31, 1995.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    ------------------------------------------

    Investments, other than insurance contracts, are stated at fair value.
Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at
the last reported sales price on the last business day of the year.  Listed
securities and governmental obligations for which no sale was reported on that
date are valued at the last reported bid price.  Investments in guaranteed
interest contracts with insurance companies are stated at contract value defined
as cost plus accrued interest less distributions to date, which approximates
fair value.  Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date
basis.  The Plan presents in the statements of changes in net assets the net
appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which consists
of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
on those investments.  Dividend income is accrued on the ex-dividend date.
Income from other investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.

3.  TAX STATUS
    ----------

    The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS (dated
May 9, 1995).  This favorable determination by the IRS does apply on a
retroactive basis to periods including the financial statement date.

4.  PLAN TERMINATION
    ----------------

    The Company adopted this Plan with a view to maintaining it permanently.
However, the Company reserves the right to modify or amend the Plan from time to
time, or to terminate the Plan, and to discontinue making contributions
temporarily or permanently depending upon business and economic conditions.  The
Company cannot amend the Plan so as to deprive any participant of benefits
already accrued under the Plan at the time of amendment, nor can the Company
take back any contributions which it has made to the Plan except in limited
circumstances involving factual error or contributions thought to be deductible
which are not deductible.  Should the Plan terminate, accounts would become
fully vested, regardless of years of service, and would be paid to participants
as directed by the Committee administering the Plan.

Brown & Sharpe Savings and Retirement Plan Committee
Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Company


    We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Brown & Sharpe Savings and Retirement Plan (the Plan) as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

    Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1995, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental schedules have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

1.  PLAN DESCRIPTION
    ----------------

    The following description of the Brown & Sharpe Savings and Retirement Plan
(the "Plan") provides only general information.  Participants should refer to
the Summary Plan Description for more complete details.

    GENERAL
    -------

        The Plan, which began on October 1, 1987, is a defined contribution plan
    covering all eligible full-time employees covered by a collective bargaining
    agreement of Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Company (the "Company") and its
    affiliated companies who participate in the Plan.  Such employees are
    immediately eligible to make deferred salary contributions to the Plan.  One
    year of service is required to become a participant receiving Company
    contributions.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
    Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) as amended.

    CONTRIBUTIONS
    -------------

        The Plan permits a participant to make deferred salary contributions to
    the Plan equal to 2% to 16% of compensation up to a maximum of $9,240 in
    1995 and in 1994 (indexed in future years) which is not subject to federal
    income tax until distributed.  Contributions are invested at the direction
    of the employee in one or more investment alternatives, or "Funds," as
    described below.

        The Company may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, make a
    supplemental contribution of 4% of annual compensation plus 4% of the amount
    over the Social Security wage base to the account of each participant to be
    invested as instructed by the participant.  The Company's supplemental
    contributions for 1995 and 1994 were $181,813 and $174,679 respectively.

        In addition, the Plan provides for a Company contribution, or subsidy,
    equal to one-quarter of the amount of each deferred salary contribution
    invested directly in the Company Stock Fund.  Such Company contributions for
    1995 and 1994 were $7,222 and $6,117 respectively.

    PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
    --------------------

        A separate account is established for each participant when enrolled in
    the Plan.  Each participant's account is credited with participant salary
    deferrals, Company contributions, and an allocation of earnings of the Funds
    in which such participant's account is invested.  Allocations, as determined
    by a monthly valuation, are credited ratably among all participants in each
    Fund.

    INVESTMENTS
    -----------

         Participants direct the trustee to put contributions in one or more of
    the following investment alternatives in multiples of 10%:

    (1) the Diversified Fund, managed by Frontier Capital Management, Inc.,
    consisting primarily of a diversified portfolio of stock and fixed income
    securities; (2) the Company Stock Fund, managed by Fleet National Bank,
    consisting primarily of Company common stock and cash; (3) the Money Market
    Fund, invested by Fleet National Bank through Fidelity Management & Research
    Company, consisting primarily of obligations of the U.S. Government or its
    agencies, banks and business corporations (other than the Company); or (4)
    the Guaranteed Interest Fund, consisting primarily of guaranteed investment
    contracts issued by American International Life Assurance Company of New
    York, Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company, and Allstate Life Insurance
    Company. These guaranteed investment contracts are agreements under which
    the issuer has agreed to pay the investor a guaranteed rate of interest over
    terms ranging from 3 to 5 years.  The contracts automatically terminate at
    maturity date.  A penalty is imposed upon early termination of contract.
    The issuers of these contracts are insurance companies, and because of this,
    the contracts are more susceptible to factors adversely affecting the
    insurance industry than similar contracts issued by parties other than
    insurance companies.  Transfers between investment funds can be made subject
    to certain rules.

         The Plan assets, and those of the Brown & Sharpe Savings and Retirement
    Plan for Management Employees are held in a trust administered by Fleet
    National Bank as Trustee.  The assets and activity within this trust are
    allocated between the two plans based on the underlying participant records
    of each plan.

         In years when Company contributions are made, forfeitures are used
    first to reduce Company contributions and then to pay Plan expenses.  In
    1995 forfeitures used to pay Plan expenses totaled $580.  In 1994, Plan
    expenses were paid entirely by the Company.

    BENEFITS
    --------

         A participant is always vested 100% in deferred salary contributions
    and Company stock purchased at a discount and becomes 100% vested in Company
    contributions after 3 years of service.

         Upon termination of service, participants are eligible to receive the
    vested value of their account in a lump sum payment or, if retired, in equal
    annual installments over a 10-year period or deferred until a future date no
    later than age 70-1/2.

         While in service, a participant may apply for a hardship withdrawal of
    funds subject to restrictive IRS rules and excise tax.  The Plan also
    permits a participant to borrow against his/her account and repay the loan
    by payroll deduction.

                   -----------------------------------------


         Plan participants who are no longer employees of the Company but who
    have elected to defer payment of their account balance are assessed an asset
    management trust and recordkeeping fee based on actual cost.  These
    participant account balances amount to $950,142 at December 31, 1995.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    ------------------------------------------

    Investments, other than insurance contracts, are stated at fair value.
Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at
the last reported sales price on the last business day of the year.  Listed
securities and governmental obligations for which no sale was reported on that
date are valued at the last reported bid price.  Investments in guaranteed
interest contracts with insurance companies are stated at contract value
determined as cost plus accrued interest, less distributions to date, which
approximates fair value.

    Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date basis.  The
Plan presents in the statements of changes in net assets the net appreciation
(depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which consists of the
realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those
investments.  Dividend income is accrued on the ex-dividend date.  Income from
other investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.

3.  TAX STATUS
    ----------

    The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS (dated
April 11, 1995).  This favorable determination by the IRS does apply on a
retroactive basis to periods including the financial statement date.

4.  PLAN TERMINATION
    ----------------

    The Company adopted this Plan with a view to maintaining it permanently.
However, the Company reserves the right to modify or amend the Plan from time to
time, or to terminate the Plan, and to discontinue making contributions
temporarily or permanently depending upon business and economic conditions.  The
Company cannot amend the Plan so as to deprive any participant of benefits
already accrued under the Plan at the time of amendment, nor can the Company
take back any contributions which it has made to the Plan except in limited
circumstances involving factual error or contributions thought to be deductible
which are not deductible.  Should the Plan terminate, accounts would become
fully vested, regardless of years of service, and would be paid to participants
as directed by the Committee administering the Plan.
