1. Financial Statements
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of
March 31, 1997,and the results of operations and the cash flows for the
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. Certain items in the financial statements for the period
ended March 31, 1996 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation
for the period ended March 31, 1997. The results of operations for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of
December 31, 1996 is derived from the audited balance sheet as of that
date. For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1996.

3. Earnings Per Share
Primary earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common
stock equivalents include dilutive stock options using the treasury stock
method. Fully diluted earnings per share did not differ significantly from
primary earnings per share in both periods.
Page 5
<PAGE>
Currently, earnings per share calculations are performed pursuant
to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, EARNINGS PER SHARE.
The Company will be required to present earnings per share data in
accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNINGS
PER SHARE, commencing with the fourth quarter of 1997. Statement
No. 128 will require the presentation of basic earnings per share
and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is
calculated as net earnings divided by the weighted average
outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share includes the
effect of all outstanding dilutive securities, such as stock
options, and is calculated similarly to the current fully-diluted
earnings per share. While early adoption of Statement No. 128 is
not permitted, the following pro-forma supplemental data is
presented using the Statement No. 128 approach:

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996
Total revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased by $8.8 million or 13%
from the first quarter of 1996. Revenues of the Precision Imaged Products group
for the first quarter increased 14% due primarily to sales of large (25" to 29")
and invar television aperture masks increasing 28% and 7%, respectively, over
first quarter 1996 sales. First quarter sales of Jumbo (30" and larger)
television aperture masks were strong but nevertheless were 19% lower than first
quarter 1996 sales. First quarter 1996 sales were unusually robust with a 98%
increase over 1995 levels. The weakening of the German mark relative to the
U.S. dollar had virtually no impact on earnings but reduced sales, as compared
with the prior year quarter, by nearly $3 million. First quarter sales included
over $3 million of computer monitor mask sales, including the Company's initial
sales of 15-inch monitor masks. Net sales of the Optical Products group
increased 10% due to higher sales in all product lines. Sales of high end
products (polycarbonate, progressive, high index and polarizing sun lenses)
increased 28% over the same quarter in the prior year. Optical Products'
international sales increased 27% over the prior year quarter.
Cost of sales were 79% of net sales for the first quarter of 1997, compared to
81% in the same period of 1996. The improvement occurred in both groups and was
due primarily to improved sales mix of higher-margin products and improved
yields and manufacturing efficiencies. The Optical Products group also
benefited from the acquisition of plastic lenses from a lower cost, off-shore
manufacturer.
Despite an increased debt level, interest expense in the first quarter of 1997
was comparable to the prior year's period due to the capitalization of interest
costs in connection with the Company's expansion projects.
The provision for income taxes was 33% of pre-tax income in the first quarter of
both 1997 and 1996.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY
Cash and cash equivalent balances increased $1.6 million while debt
increased $15.2 million during the first three months of 1997. The increased
debt level was due primarily to $26.3 million of capital expenditures relating
primarily to the expansion of the Company's aperture mask manufacturing
facilities and increased accounts receivable levels, offset partially by
increased accounts payable balances and cash generated from earnings. The
increased accounts receivable levels were due primarily to the increased
quarterly sales and the increased accounts payable balance was due to payables
related to the mask expansion project. Working capital was $40.7 million at
March 31, 1997 compared to $41.4 million at December 31, 1996. The current
ratio was 1.69 at March 31, 1997, compared to 1.82 at December 31, 1996. The
ratio of debt to equity increased to 0.22 at March 31, 1997 compared to 0.12
at December 31, 1996.
Page 7
<PAGE>
The Company expects to incur more than $75 million of capital spending during
1997, a significant portion of which is related to completing the expansion
of the Cortland facility. The Company has $88 million in revolving credit
facilities which will provide the funds needed for capital spending related
to the Cortland expansion and the Company's new polycarbonate facility under
construction in Ramsey, Minnesota. The Company's $80 million acquisition
credit facility will provide funds in the event the Company encounters a
strategic acquisition opportunity. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had
commitments of approximately $25.0 million related to capital projects, a
majority of which were related to the Cortland expansion. These credit
facilities along with cash generated from operations should be sufficient to
meet the Company's future capital and operating requirements.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, principally the German mark
versus the U.S. dollar, may affect the Company's financial results. The
Company's German subsidiary has a large portion of its sales denominated in U.S.
dollars. As most of the German subsidiary's expenses are denominated in the
German mark, this represents the most significant element of the Company's
exposure to currency rate fluctuations. This exposure is generally addressed as
needed through the purchase of forward contracts and options. As of March 31,
1997, the Company had approximately $15 million of foreign exchange options to
exchange U.S. dollars for German marks at a set exchange rate. These options
mature at various intervals through March 1998.
Exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations also may exist with
respect to intercompany payables or receivables with the Company's German
subsidiary. The Company minimizes this exposure by holding such balances at low
levels.
ENVIRONMENTAL
There are no material changes in the status of the legal proceedings and
environmental matters described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1996.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Certain statements included in this Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations by the Company or its representatives, as
well as other communications, including reports to shareholders, news
releases and presentations to securities analysts or investors, contain
forward-looking statements made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the
"Safe Harbor" provisions of the PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995. These statements relate to non-historical information which are subject
to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes
to caution the reader not to place undo reliance on any such forward-looking
statements. These statements are qualified by important factors listed
separately in "Item 1 - Business" of the Company's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1996, which in some cases have affected and in the future
could adversely affect the Company's actual results and could cause the
Company's actual financial performance to differ materially from that
expressed in any forward-looking statement. These factors should not,
however, be considered an exhaustive list. The Company does not undertake
the responsibility to update any forward-looking statement that may be made
from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

(612) 851-6030 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BMC REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
April 23, 1997 -- Minneapolis, MN -- BMC Industries, Inc. today reported first
quarter net earnings of $7,883,000 or $.28 per share, up 27% from earnings of
$6,183,000 or $.22 per share in the year-earlier period. First quarter revenues
increased 13% from $68.3 million in the first quarter of 1996 to $77.1 million
in the first quarter of 1997.
Paul B. Burke, BMC's chairman and chief executive officer stated "The first
quarter represents another quarterly earnings record for BMC and is the twenty-
fourth consecutive quarter of increased net earnings over the year-earlier
period, excluding income from the sale of equipment and technology and other
non-recurring items. Once again, each division contributed to this significant
accomplishment."
The Company's Precision Imaged Products operation (including both Mask
Operations and Buckbee-Mears St. Paul) posted record first quarter results.
First quarter sales increased 14% over the prior year quarter while profits
increased 29%. The profitability of Mask Operations increased due to the
continued sales mix shift to higher margin products, including high resolution
computer monitor masks, and improved operating performance. Sales of large (25-
29 inches) and invar television aperture masks increased 28% and 7%,
respectively, over first quarter 1996 sales. First quarter sales of jumbo (30
inches and larger) aperture masks were strong but nevertheless were 19% lower
than first quarter 1996 sales. First quarter 1996 jumbo sales were unusually
robust with a 98% increase over first quarter 1995 levels. The weakening of the
German Mark relative to the U.S. Dollar had virtually no impact on earnings but
reduced sales, as compared with the prior year quarter, by nearly $3 million.
First quarter PIP sales included over $3 million of high resolution computer
monitor masks sales, including sales of 15-inch invar masks. First quarter high
resolution mask sales were impacted by a market conversion from 14-inch monitors
to 15-inch monitors that occurred much more quickly than anticipated by the tube
manufacturers and by BMC. This conversion, along with capacity additions by
tube manufacturers, resulted in an inventory build of 14-inch monitors at the
end of 1996 and weaker than anticipated first quarter demand for 14-inch monitor
masks.
Page 14
<PAGE>
Moreover, this rapid change prompted BMC's German high resolution mask line to
convert production to 15-inch invar masks. As a consequence, much of the first
and second quarters will be spent ramping up the yield curve and securing
customer part approval for these part types.
The monitor and entertainment line expansions at the Cortland, New York facility
remain on schedule for start up this quarter. Following the typical time period
required to de-bug these lines and qualify parts with customers, they are
expected to run at full capacity with commensurate demand for their products.
BMC's Optical Products operation also produced record first quarter results.
First quarter sales increased 10% over the prior year quarter, while
profitability increased 16%. Sales growth occurred in each major product line.
Sales of high end products (polycarbonate, progressive, high index and
polarizing sun lenses) increased 28% over the year-earlier period.
International sales growth continued at a strong pace. Construction of the new
polycarbonate manufacturing, centralized distribution and research and
development facility remains on schedule for completion in the third quarter
1997.
BMC is one of the world's largest manufacturers of aperture masks for color
television tubes and computer monitors. The Company is also a leading supplier
of polycarbonate, glass and plastic eyewear lenses. The common stock of the
Company is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "BMC".
