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


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


    We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Brown & Sharpe Savings and Retirement Plan as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

    Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of
assets held for investment purposes at end of year, as of December 31, 1999, is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

                THE BROWN & SHARPE SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN
                         Notes To Financial Statements
                         -----------------------------

                    Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
                    --------------------------------------


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. Six
   consecutive months 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 up to 16% of compensation up to a maximum of $10,000 in 1999 and $10,000
   in 1998, 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," in multiples of 10%.

   The Company may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, make a
   supplemental contribution of 4% of annual compensation plus 8% 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 1999 and 1998 were $214,698 and $216,545, 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 1999 and
   1998 were $2,107 and $2,593, respectively.

   In addition, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Company may
   make a matching contribution equal to a percentage not to exceed 25% of the
   elective contribution, disregarding any elective contribution in excess of 6%
   of such eligible participant's salary for such Plan year. Such contributions
   for 1999 and 1998 were $56,633 and $126,854, respectively.

   Participant Accounts
   --------------------

   A separate account is established for each participant when enrolled in the
   Plan. Each participant's account is credited with (a) participant salary
   deferrals, (b) Company contributions and (c) Plan earnings. Guaranteed
   contract account earnings are valued on a monthly basis and are allocated to
   participants based on a pro rated basis.

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
                   -----------------------------------------
                    Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
                    --------------------------------------


   Investments
   -----------

   The Plan assets are held in a trust administered by Putnam Fiduciary Trust
   Company as Trustee.

   Transfers between investment funds can be made subject to certain rules.

   The Company pays substantially all of the expenses associated with
   administering this Plan.

   Benefits
   --------

   A participant is always vested 100% in deferred salary contributions. Company
   stock purchased at a discount becomes 100% vested in Company contributions
   after 3 years of service. On January 1, 1998, the Company changed the vesting
   schedule to 5 years graduated 20 percent vesting per year. If the
   participant's service date was before January 1, 1998 and he/she was not
   vested then the vesting schedule is a three year schedule at 20 percent for
   the first two years and 100% in the third year.

   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.

   Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 and to a
   maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account
   balance. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to fifteen years for
   the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in
   the participant's account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local
   prevailing rates as determined by the Plan administrator. Principal and
   interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
   ------------------------------------------

   The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
   principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of
   management's estimates. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

   The Plan has adopted SOP 99-3, "Accounting for and Reporting of Certain
   Defined Contribution Benefit Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters,"
   for the 1999 financial statement presentation. Accordingly, the fund by fund
   information under the previously disclosed footnote "Allocation of Statement
   of Net Assets Available for Benefits and Statement of Changes in Net Assets
   Available for Benefits" has been eliminated.

   Investments, other than the Stable Value Fund, are stated at fair value. The
   shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices
   which represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year end.
   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.
   Investment in the Putnam Stable Value Fund is stated at contract value
   defined as cost plus accrued interest less distributions to date, which
   approximates fair value. The Plan loans receivable are valued at their
   outstanding balances which approximate 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.

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
                   -----------------------------------------
                    Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
                    --------------------------------------


3.  Tax Status
    ----------

    The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
    letter dated April 11, 1995 that the Plan qualifies under Section 401(a) of
    the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and, therefore, the related trust is not
    subject to tax under present income tax law. Once qualified, the Plan is
    required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its
    qualification. Management is not aware of any course of action or series of
    events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified
    status.

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.

5.  Investments
    -----------

    Investments held greater than five percent of the Plan's net assets
    available for benefits at December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:


                                              1999        1998
