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 June 30, 1997,
    and the results of operations and the cash flows for the periods ended June
    30, 1997 and 1996.  Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. 
    Certain items in the financial statements for the periods ended June 30,
    1996 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the periods
    ended June 30, 1997.  The results of operations for the three-month and
    six-month periods ended June 30, 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.
    

2.  Derivative Financial Instruments

    In January 1997, the SEC issued new rules related to disclosures about 
    derivative financial instruments. The new rules, effective for all 
    financial statements issued for periods ending after June 15, 1997, 
    require accounting policy disclosures about derivative financial 
    instruments used by the Company. Effective for periods ending after 
    June 15, 1998, the new rules also require quantitative and qualitative 
    disclosures about exposures to market risk from derivative financial 
    instruments.
    
    Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company to reduce 
    foreign exchange and interest rate risks.
    
    Foreign Currency Exchange Options - As of June 30, 1997, the Company had 
    approximately $10.5 million of outstanding foreign currency exchange 
    options to exchange U.S. dollars for German marks at a set exchange 
    rate. These foreign exchange options do not expose the Company to 
    financial risk as the contracts provide an option to exchange the 
    currencies, but do not obligate the Company to make a foreign currency 
    exchange. Premiums paid for foreign currency exchange options are 
    amortized to Other Expense over the life of the options. Upon exercise 
    of foreign currency exchange options, gains are included in income.
    
    Interest Rate Swap Agreement - As of June 30, 1997, the Company had 
    entered into an interest rate swap agreement that allows the Company to 
    swap a variable interest rate for a fixed interest rate of 6.365% on $15 
    million of notional debt for a period of two years ending March, 1999. 
    The notional amount of debt is not a measure of the Company's exposure 
    to credit or market risks and is not included in the condensed 
    consolidated balance sheet. Fixing the interest rate minimizes the 
    Company's exposure to the uncertainty of floating interest rates during 
    this two year period. Amounts to be paid or received under the interest 
    rate swap agreement are accrued and recorded as an adjustment to 
    Interest Expense during the term of the interest rate swap agreement.

4.  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 any period.

                                       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.

              ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

Total revenues for the second quarter of 1997 increased $12.1 million or 18% 
from the second quarter of 1996.  Revenues of the Precision Imaged Products 
group for the second quarter increased 25% due primarily to sales of large 
(25" to 29") and invar television aperture masks increasing 35% and 31%, 
respectively, over second quarter 1996 sales.  Second quarter sales of jumbo 
(30" and larger) television aperture masks slightly lagged 1996.  Second 
quarter 1996 jumbo sales were strong with a 42% 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 $1 million.  Second quarter sales included over $2 million 
of computer monitor mask sales.  Net sales of the Optical Products group 
increased 4% due to higher sales in all major product lines, except for 
glass.  Sales of high end products (polycarbonate, progressive, high index 
and polarizing sun lenses) increased 15% over the same quarter in the prior 
year.

Cost of sales were 73% of net sales for the second quarter of both 1997 and 
1996.  Improvements in product mix were offset by start-up expenses for the 
new entertainment line at the Cortland, New York facility and dielot and part 
qualification expenses for the computer monitor line at the Germany facility. 
Also, Optical Products group profitability was impacted by a number of 
one-time expenses including:  expenses preparatory to the shutdown of the Ft. 
Lauderdale plastic lens manufacturing facility which ceased operations in 
July, expenses incidental to the new polycarbonate manufacturing, centralized 
distribution and research and development facility and start-up costs for the 
operation's first anti-reflective coating machine.  In addition, resources 
devoted to the ongoing development of new products and materials were higher 
in the second quarter.

Despite an increased debt level, interest expense in the second quarter of 
1997 was comparable to the prior year quarter 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 second 
quarter of both 1997 and 1996.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

Total revenues for the first six months of 1997 increased $20.9 million or 15%
from the first six months of 1996.  Revenues of the Precision Imaged Products
group increased 19% for the first six months due primarily to sales of large
(25" to 29") and invar television aperture masks increasing 31% and 18%,
respectively, over 1996 sales.   For the first six months sales of jumbo (30"
and larger) television aperture masks were down 11% from 1996.   1996 jumbo
sales were very strong with a 64% 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, by over $4 million.  The
first six months included over $5 million of computer monitor mask sales.  Net
sales of the Optical Products group increased 7% due to higher sales in all
major product lines, except for glass.  Sales of high end products

                                       Page 7
<PAGE>

(polycarbonate, progressive, high index and polarizing sun lenses) increased 
21% over the same period in the prior year. 

Cost of sales were 76% of net sales for the first six months of 1997, 
compared to 77% in the same period of 1996.  The decline occurred primarily 
in the Precision Imaged Products group and was due primarily to sales mix 
changes, largely offset by line time required for new customer and part 
qualification on the computer monitor line and start-up expenses for the new 
entertainment line at the Cortland facility.  The Optical Products group cost 
of sales as a percentage of sales was consistent with the prior year.

Despite an increased debt level, interest expense in the first six months of 
1997 was comparable to the prior year 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 six 
months of both 1997 and 1996.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY

Cash and cash equivalent balances decreased $0.5 million and debt increased 
$38.4 million during the first six months of 1997.  The increased debt level 
was due primarily to $54 million of capital expenditures relating primarily 
to the expansion of the Company's aperture mask manufacturing facilities and 
increased inventory and accounts receivable levels, offset partially by 
increased accounts payable balances. The increased inventory levels were due 
primarily to the new television aperture mask production line which started 
in the second quarter at the Cortland facility and the acquisition of 
Vision-Ease Asia early in 1997. The increased accounts receivable levels were 
due primarily to the increased sales.  The increased accounts payable balance 
was due primarily to payables related to the Cortland expansion project and 
Optical Product's new polycarbonate manufacturing, centralized distribution 
and research and development facility currently under construction.  Due 
primarily to the increases in accounts receivable and inventory, working 
capital was $51.0 million at June 30, 1997 compared to $41.4 million at 
December 31, 1996.  The current ratio was 1.87 at June 30, 1997, compared to 
1.82 at December 31, 1996. The ratio of debt to equity increased to 0.35 at 
June 30, 1997 compared to 0.12 at December 31, 1996 due to the increased debt 
levels.

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 June 30, 1997, the Company had 
commitments of approximately $17 million related to capital projects, a 
majority of which were related to the Cortland expansion.  The revolving 
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 
and Japanese yen 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 June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $10.5 million of 
outstanding 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.

                                   CREDIT AGREEMENT

                                    1994 REVISION

                           SECOND DECLARATION OF AMENDMENT



Pursuant to the retained power of amendment contained in Section 11.2 of the
instrument entitled "BMC Industries, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan--1994 Revision,"
the undersigned hereby amends said instrument in the following manner:

1.  Section 3.1 thereof is amended to read as follows:

    "3.1  AMOUNT OF PARTICIPATING EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION.  (A)  Subject to the
    limitations set forth at Article IX, for each Plan Year each Participating
    Employer will make a basic contribution under the Plan, from its annual
    earnings or profits for the Plan Year or from its accumulated earnings or
    profits, in an amount equal to three percent of the aggregate Compensation
    for the Plan Year of all Participants eligible to share in the contribution
    pursuant to Section 3.2; provided, that, to the extent the Participating
    Employer is prevented from making all or any portion of such contribution
    for any Plan Year because its current or accumulated earnings or profits
    are inadequate, the Participating Employer may, in its sole discretion,
    make such contribution in its entirety, or make any specified portion
    thereof, notwithstanding such inadequacy.

          (B)  Subject to the limitations set forth in Article IX, for each Plan
    Year each Participating Employer will make an additional contribution under
    the Plan for each of the Participating Employer's Participating Business
    Units, from its annual earnings or profits for such Plan Year or from its
    accumulated earnings or profits, in the amount, if any, separately
    determined by the Participating Employer's Board for each Participating
    Business Unit based upon the differing annual profit performance of such
    Participating Business Units.

          (C)  Subject to the limitations set forth at Article IX, for each Plan
    Year a Participating Employer may contribute with respect to any
    participating Business Unit any additional amount determined by its Board
    to be advisable to assist the Plan in satisfying any requirement imposed by
    the Code or Treasury Regulations."

2.  Subsection 3.3(A)(3) thereof is deleted.

3.  Subsection 3.3(A)(4) thereof is redesignated as Subsection 3.3(A)(3) and is
    amended to read as follows:

    "(3)  The portion of the contribution described in Section 3.1(C) will be
    allocated to each eligible Participant who received Compensation for the
    Plan year with respect to services for the Participating Business Unit to
    which the portion of the contribution relates (other than administrative
    services with respect to which he or she is included in the Corporate
    Participating Business Unit unless the contribution relates to the
    Corporate Participating Business Unit) and who is not a Highly Compensated
    Employee in the same proportion that his or her Compensation for the Plan
    Year bears to the aggregate Compensation for the Plan Year of all eligible
    Participants in the Participating Business Unit who are not Highly
    Compensated Employees."

4.  Article VI thereof is amended to read as follows:

    "6.1  NO WITHDRAWALS FROM PROFIT SHARING ACCOUNT.  No participant may
    withdraw any portion of the balance of his or her Profit Sharing Account
    while he or she is an Employee.

    6.2   NO WITHDRAWALS FROM ROLLOVER ACCOUNT.  No Participant may withdraw any
    portion of the balance of his or her Rollover Account while he or she is an
    Employee."

                                       Page 16

5.  Appendix A thereof is deleted.

The amendments set forth above are effective January 1, 1998.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this instrument to be executed by
its duly authorized officers this 2nd day of May, 1997.

             BMC REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

July 22, 1997 -- Minneapolis, MN -- BMC Industries, Inc. today reported record
second quarter net earnings of $11,989,000 or $0.42 per share, up 22% from
earnings of $9,842,000 or $0.35 per share in the year-earlier period.  Second
quarter revenues increased 18% from $68.2 million in the second quarter of 1996
to $80.3 million in the second quarter of 1997.

Net earnings for the first six months of 1997 totaled $19,872,000 or $0.70 per
share.  This represented an improvement of $3,847,000 or 24% over the
$16,025,000 or $0.57 per share recorded for the first six months of the prior
year.  Revenues for the first six months of 1997 were 15% higher than the same
period in the prior year. 

The second quarter of 1997 represented another quarterly earnings record for BMC
and its twenty-fifth 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 (PIP includes both the Mask
Operations and Buckbee-Mears St. Paul) posted record second quarter results. 
Second quarter sales and profits increased 25% over the prior year quarter.  The
profitability of Mask Operations increased primarily due to the continued sales
mix shift to higher margin products, including high resolution computer monitor
masks.  Sales of large (25 - 29 inches) and invar television aperture masks
increased 35% and 31%, respectively, over second quarter 1996 sales.  Jumbo mask
sales slightly lagged 1996, which was a difficult comparison following a 42%
increase over the second quarter of 1995.  The further 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 $1 million.  Finally,
second quarter etching sales of Buckbee-Mears St. Paul increased 27% over the
prior year, due to strong growth in the electronics, medical, filtration and
automotive markets.

   Second quarter Precision Imaged Products sales included over $2 million of
high resolution computer monitor mask sales.  High resolution mask sales were
depressed by a number of factors including:  line time required for new customer
and part qualification, a continued market surplus

of 14-inch monitor tubes due to an inventory build at the end of 1996 and the 
devotion of over two weeks of line time to invar television mask production 
due to a customer emergency.  The line is performing at expectations and we 
expect sales to grow significantly over the balance of the year as we receive 
new customer and part approvals.

The new television line in Cortland started-up in the second quarter and 
performance exceeded expectations.  Initial shipments from this new line 
occurred during the second quarter.  The new monitor line in Cortland is 
scheduled for third quarter start-up, with de-bugging of the line currently 
taking place.

BMC's Optical Products operation also produced record second quarter results. 
Second quarter sales increased 4% over the prior year quarter, while 
profitability increased 5%.  Sales growth occurred in each major product 
line, except for glass.  Sales of high end products (polycarbonate, 
progressive, high index and polarizing sun lenses) showed strong growth, 
increasing 15% over the year-earlier period.  Profitability was impacted by a 
number of one-time expenses including:  expenses preparatory to the shutdown 
of the Ft. Lauderdale plastic lens manufacturing facility which ceased 
operations in July, expenses incidental to the new polycarbonate 
manufacturing, centralized distribution and research and development facility 
and start-up costs for the operation's first anti-reflective coating machine. 
In addition, resources devoted to the ongoing development of new products 
and materials were higher in the second quarter. Construction of the new 
facility remains on schedule for completion in the third quarter of 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".
