                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

1        In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial
         statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
         financial position of the Company as of March 31, 1996 and December
         31, 1995 and the results of operations and changes in cash flow for
         the indicated periods.  The unaudited financial statements reflect
         certain estimated inventories as of the end of the interim periods.

2.       The results of operations for the three month period ending March 31,
         1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
         the year.

3.       The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation, including
         environmental claims, in the normal course of business.  With regard
         to environmental claims, the Company, and a former subsidiary, W.S. &
         W.C., Inc., have been named by state and/or federal government
         agencies as "potentially responsible parties" with respect to certain
         waste disposal sites.  As a potentially responsible party, the
         Company, or its former subsidiary, may be considered jointly and
         severally liable, along with other potentially responsible parties,
         for the cost of remediation of these waste sites.  The actual cost of
         remediation is presently unknown; however, estimates currently
         available suggest that the cost of remediation at these sites will be
         between $100 and $133 million.  Despite the joint and several nature
         of the liability, these proceedings are frequently resolved on the
         basis of the quantity and type of waste disposed by the parties.  The
         actual amount of liability for the  Company, and its former
         subsidiary, is unknown due to disagreement concerning the allocation
         of responsibility, uncertainties regarding the amount of contribution
         that will be available from other parties and uncertainties related to
         insurance coverage.  After  investigation of the quantities and type
         of waste disposed at these sites, it is management's opinion that any
         liability will not be material to the Company's financial condition.
         Nevertheless, it is unlikely that the Company will not incur
         significant costs associated with these proceedings and accordingly
         the Company has recorded a liability of $598,075 related to these
         matters.  The adequacy of this reserve will be reviewed periodically
         as more definitive cost information becomes available.


4.       At March 31, 1996 significant deferred tax liabilities and assets were
         comprised of the  following:

                          CHICAGO RIVET & MACHINE CO.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         Net sales and lease revenues amounted to $5,323,632 in the first
quarter of 1996, well below the robust level recorded in the same period in
1995.   Demand for the company's products was uncharacteristically weak
throughout the first quarter of 1996.  The decline was not limited to one
product line, but rather was evident in both the fastener and automatic rivet
setting equipment and accessory segments of our product offerings.  Similarly,
the decline in order activity has been encountered in all of the Company's our
major markets.

         Net income totaled $350,629 or $.60 per share on 585,748 average
shares outstanding during the first quarter of 1996.  This compares to $589,243
or $1.00 per share on 586,648 average shares outstanding during the first
quarter of 1995.  In addition to the effects  of lower sales volumes, profits
were adversely affected by a change in composition of sales in 1996 compared
with 1995 when we enjoyed a relatively larger percentage of business with
higher operating margins. 

         Working capital increased to approximately $13 million compared with
$12.7 million at year end 1995. Inventories increased approximately 5% during
the quarter.  The Company's financial condition remains strong and liquidity is
considered to be excellent.

         The Company recently announced that it has entered into a conditional
agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets and assume certain
liabilities  of H & L Tool Company, Inc. of Madison Heights, Michigan.  The
transaction is subject to various conditions,  including completion by the
Company of its due diligence investigation and the negotiation of a
satisfactory  purchase and sale agreement.  While the exact purchase price will
be determined by the definitive contract, it is expected to be approximately
$19,000,000 in a combination of cash and the assumption of certain liabilities.
The transaction is expected to be financed by a combination of available cash
and borrowings of approximately $8,000,000.  After completion of the
transaction, Chicago Rivet intends to continue operations at H & L Tool
Company, Inc.'s Michigan location.  H & L Tool Company, Inc. was established in
1946 and is  a privately held manufacturer of specialty cold-formed fasteners
and screw machine products predominately for the  automotive market.   The
proposed  acquisition is expected to  significantly enhance our capabilities
for the manufacture of cold-headed parts.

March 31, 1996 for additional information.  This section is incorporated herein
by reference.  The Interim Report is filed as an exhibit to this report on
pages 11 and 12.

To Our Shareholders:

         The comparative results of operations of Chicago Rivet & Machine
Co. for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995 are summarized below.

         Net sales and lease revenues amounted to $5,323,632 in the first
quarter of 1996, well below the robust level recorded in the same period in
1995.  Demand for the company's products was uncharacteristically weak
throughout the first quarter of 1996.  This weakness was evident in both the
fastener and automatic rivet setting equipment and accessory segments of our
product offerings.  Similarly, the decline in order activity has been
encountered in all of our major markets.

         Net income totaled $350,629 or $.60 per share on 585,748 average
shares outstanding during the first quarter of 1996.  This compares to $589,243
or $1.00 per share on 586,648 average shares outstanding during the first
quarter of 1995.  In addition to the effects of lower sales volume, profits
were adversely affected by a change in composition of sales in 1996 compared
with 1995 when we enjoyed a relatively larger percentage of business with
higher operating margins. We plan to continue our successful efforts to
increase our market share in the coming months.  Naturally, renewed emphasis
had been, and will continue to be, placed on cost reduction programs in order
to maintain an acceptable level of profitability despite the softer market
conditions that exist today.

         The Company recently announced that it has entered into a conditional
agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets and assume certain
liabilities of H & L Tool Company, Inc. of Madison Heights, Michigan.  The
transaction is subject to various conditions, including completion by the
Company of its due diligence investigation and the negotiation of a
satisfactory purchase and sale agreement.  While the exact purchase price will
