ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

(a)  General Development of Business.

        (1)    The Registrant, originally incorporated in 1919, is principally
               engaged in the manufacture and sale of various industrial
               component parts. During the fiscal year for which this Annual
               Report is being filed, there were no material developments with
               respect to the Registrant's business, except for those
               described in Registrant's 1996 Annual Report on pages 9-12,
               attached hereto as Exhibit 13. This information is incorporated
               herein by reference.

        (2)    Inapplicable.

(b)     Financial Information About Industry Segments.

        (1) (2)       Industry segments.

                      The Registrant is engaged in a single business segment
                      as described on pages 5-6 and 25 of the 1996 Annual
                      Report of the Registrant, attached hereto as Exhibit 13.
                      Amounts of revenue, operating profits and identifiable
                      assets attributable to the single business segment are
                      included on pages 13 and 14 of the 1996 Annual Report of
                      the Registrant, attached hereto as Exhibit 13. This
                      information is incorporated herein by reference.

(c)     Narrative Description of Business.

        The description of the business set forth on pages 5-6, 9-12 and 25 of
        the Registrant's 1996 Annual Report, attached hereto as Exhibit 13, is
        incorporated herein by reference. The following information
        supplements that description:

        (1) (i)       See Narrative Description cross-reference above.


                                       4

<PAGE>

           (ii)       See Narrative Description cross-reference above.

          (iii)       See Narrative Description cross-reference above.

           (iv)       While Registrant holds a number of patents,
                      Registrant believes that the successful
                      continuation of its business is not dependent on
                      any single patent or group of patents, trademarks,
                      or licenses.  (Registrant retains the rights to
                      certain royalties related to an exclusive license
                      agreement with semiconductor manufacturer Silicon
                      Systems incorporated (SSi), whereunder SSi will
                      produce and market certain phonetic speech
                      synthesizer chips under the SSi product name.
                      Registrant does not consider the royalty agreement
                      to be material to Registrant's business.)

            (v)       No material portion of the business of the
                      Registrant is seasonal in nature.

           (vi)       There are no practices and conditions of the Registrant
                      or known to the Registrant relating to working capital
                      items which are material to an understanding of the
                      Registrant's business in the industry in which it
                      competes.

          (vii)       See Narrative Description cross-reference above.

         (viii)       As of August 31, 1996, the Registrant had an estimated
                      backlog of firm orders amounting to approximately
                      $15,500,000, all of which are expected to be filled
                      within the 1997 fiscal year. The comparable backlog as
                      of August 31, 1995 amounted to approximately
                      $15,000,000.

           (ix)       No material portion of the business of Registrant is
                      subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of
                      contracts or subcontracts at the election of the
                      Government.

            (x)       The manufacture and sale of Registrant's products
                      is an extremely competitive business.  Because
                      industry statistics are not available, Registrant

                                       5

                      is unable to accurately determine the number of its
                      competitors nor to state its competitive position in its
                      principal market as a supplier of parts to automotive
                      customers. However, Registrant believes that it is
                      generally considered a leading producer of its principal
                      type of product in an estimated $650 million annual
                      market served by approximately thirty major domestic
                      suppliers, no one of which, or no small number of which
                      are dominant. Registrant is aware, however, that there
                      are companies making similar products, with greater
                      sales and resources than Registrant. Registrant is aware
                      that in recent years the activity of foreign competitors
                      manufacturing similar products has increased. The
                      quality of the product, the product's price and service
                      to customers are the principal methods of competition.

           (xi)       Research and development activity expenses during each
                      of the last three fiscal years is not deemed material.

          (xii)       Registrant has experienced no material effects in
                      complying with government environmental
                      regulations.

         (xiii)       See Narrative Description cross-reference above.

(d)  Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations
     and Export Sales.

        Financial information about foreign and domestic operations and export
        sales are set forth on pages 5, 6, 13, 14 and 25 of the Registrant's
        1996 Annual Report, attached hereto as Exhibit 13. This information is
        incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

The description of property set forth on pages 5-6 of the Registrant's 1996
Annual Report, attached hereto as Exhibit 13, is incorporated herein by
reference.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Registrant is one of approximately twenty designated potentially responsible
parties (PRPs) in a federal "Superfund" environmental clean-up proceeding
involving a dump site in Rose Township, Oakland County, Michigan. Although
Registrant denies responsibility for contamination of the site, it has
nevertheless agreed to participate in funding clean-up of the site by paying a
share of the clean-up costs which Registrant does not consider to be material.
This share has been assumed primarily because of the large transactional costs
expected to be incurred in defending the lawsuit against the PRPs which would
have been filed by the Environmental Protection Agency if the matter had not
been settled voluntarily.

Registrant and eleven other PRPs have signed a Consent Decree and adopted a
Remedial Action Plan which has been filed in, and approved by, the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The Complaint instituting
the court proceeding was filed September 19, 1989. The principal parties are
the United States of America, the State of Michigan, and the PRPs. On appeal,
the Consent Decree has been affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for
the Sixth Circuit. The allocation of the responsibility to fund the Remedial
Action Plan among the participating PRPs is set out in a written Agreement to
which Registrant is also a party. Settlements with two of the Registrant's
insurers resulted in coverage for in excess of one half of the Registrant's
share.

The settling defendants have submitted to the United States Environmental
Protection Agency comments regarding a soil vapor extraction system report
which the PRPs submitted after a pilot study at the Site. The EPA has accepted
the substitution of soil vapor extraction for soil flushing as the remedial
action approach, and the approach is now being implemented. No

                                       7

significant effect on the site clean-up is anticipated and the Registrant does
not expect to pay any costs beyond its original contribution.

The Registrant and other Rose Township PRPs have been notified by the EPA of
potential liability at another site located in Springfield Township, Oakland
County, Michigan. The PRPs have actively been engaged in negotiations with the
EPA and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in an effort to agree
upon mutually acceptable remediation parameters. The PRPs have negotiated
Administrative Orders on Consent Regarding Selected Response Activities and
for Cost Recovery Settlement, the cost of which is not expected to have a
material effect upon the Company's financial statements. The PRPs have not
negotiated an overall remedy at the Site. But, interim remediation is
occurring as the Order Regarding Selected Response Activities covers the
groundwater component of the remedy. The Registrant has settled with the
Michigan Department of Natural Resources the Department's past cost claims at
both the Rose and at the Springfield Township Sites. The Registrant's share of
the settlements was an immaterial amount. It is anticipated that the
Registrant's share of any future expense at the Site will be immaterial. The
Registrant liquidated its coverage claims against its insurers.

                     Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors
Federal Screw Works


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Federal Screw Works as of
June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 1996. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule
listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are 
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedule 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 financial position of Federal Screw
Works at June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also,in our opinion, 
the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the 
basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material 
respects, the  information set forth therein.

To Our
Shareholders:

The Company reports net earnings for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, of
$4,391,000, or $4.04 per share, on sales of $92,794,000. For the year ended
June 30, 1995, the Company reported net earnings of $4,241,000, or $3.90 per
share, on sales of $90,503,000. Net earnings for the fourth quarter ended June
30, 1996, were $1,924,000, or $1.77 per share, on sales of $25,869,000. Net
earnings for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 1995, were $1,716,000, or $1.58
per share, on sales of $24,017,000. The reported earnings for each year are
after non-cash FAS 106 post-retirement health benefit charges of $994,000 and
$1,231,000, respectively ($199,000 and $314,000, respectively, for the fourth
quarter). 

The Company was pleased to record another year of substantial achievement.
Continued process improvement as well as the production of new, higher margin
parts enabled us to counter a variety of adverse circumstances. In the first
instance, demand from our two largest customers was softer than expected. In
the second, these two customers still insist on price concessions. Finally,
the Company experienced two labor strikes, one at its Chelsea Division, the
other at one of its largest customers, for respective periods of approximately
six and three weeks. We believe the Company's ability to effectively manage
these difficulties demonstrates its fundamental competitiveness.

We look forward to the new fiscal year confidently even as we acknowledge what
analysts view as the strong possibility of a labor strike in the automobile
industry. The Company continues to invest heavily. In fiscal 1996,
expenditures for capital equipment amounted to $5.7 million, compared to last
year's $7.4 million. Nonautomotive business grew again in 1996. Overall, we
expect business to be strong.

At its August 16th meeting, the Board of Directors declared a regular
quarterly cash dividend of $.10 per share, and an extra cash dividend of $.80
per share, both payable October 1, 1996, to shareholders of record September
6, 1996.

The Company


Industry Information 

Federal Screw Works is a domestic manufacturer of industrial component parts, 
consisting of locknuts, bolts, piston pins, studs, bushings, shafts and other 
machined, cold formed, hardened and/or ground metal parts, all of which 
constitute a single business segment.

The Company's products are manufactured at several plants and are fabricated
from metal rod and bar, which are generally available at competitive prices
from multiple sources. Production is in high-volume job lots to the
specification of original equipment manufacturers and sold to them for
incorporation into their assemblies. The majority of these sales are to
manufacturers of automobiles and trucks, with the balance being mainly to
manufacturers of nonautomotive durable goods. 


Operating Divisions 

The Company's industrial component parts are manufactured in six plants
located throughout lower Michigan. The Company presently employs approximately
505 hourly-rated and salaried personnel. A brief description of each division
follows.

The Big Rapids Division in Big Rapids, Michigan, manufactures special
high-strength bolts and other cold formed products using boltmakers and
headers as primary equipment. Among the items manufactured to both inch and
metric specifications are hex head bolts, connecting rod bolts, studs and
flange bolts. The 160,000 square foot plant is situated on 25 acres of land,
and contains heat treat facilities for hardening in-process parts. The
annealing and pickling of the steel used at Big Rapids is generally performed
at the Romulus Steel Processing Division.

The Romulus Division is housed in a 100,000 square foot plant, on 22 acres of
land, in Romulus, Michigan. This division uses nutformers as primary equipment
to manufacture special prevailing torque locknuts. Products include locknuts,
connecting rod nuts, and other special nut products, in both metric and inch
sizes. The plant has its own furnace for heat treating in-process parts.
Annealing and pickling of the steel coils used in manufacturing nut products
are performed by the adjacent Romulus Steel Processing Division.

The parts produced at the above divisions are sold principally to the
automotive market. These parts are mass produced, and most are shipped
directly to car assembly plants.

Steel rod annealing, pickling and drawing facilities are provided at the
38,000 square foot Romulus Steel Processing Division plant on a tract of land
it shares with the Romulus Division. A significant amount of the output of
this facility is converted to finished products by Federal Screw Works' bolt
and nut making operations. Excess capacity is used to process steel rod
belonging to other companies, mainly in the cold heading industry.

                                      5

The Brighton Division occupies a 19,000 square foot leased facility in
Brighton, Michigan. The lease expires in December, 1998. The Division
manufactures perishable tooling, primarily for the cold heading industry. More
than one-half of its output is consumed by the Company's Romulus and Big
Rapids Divisions.

The Chelsea Division is located in Chelsea, Michigan, in a plant having
approximately 86,000 square feet. Primary equipment consists of automatic
screw machines and rotary index machines capable of making products from 1/16
inch to 2-3/4 inches in diameter. Chelsea Division fabricates a wide variety
of precision parts including piston pins, bushings, fittings, special
fasteners, valve components, sleeves, shafts, gear blanks and the like. These
parts are generally produced in large volume lots and delivered direct to
manufacturers of products such as compressors, automobiles, transmissions and
small engines.

In August, 1994, the Company leased a 16,000 square foot facility in Romulus
to conduct engineering and manufacturing development activities. This
facility, known as the Technical Center, gives us sufficient room to try out
new primary and secondary equipment, tooling, and parts feeding and automation
devices, as well as permitting us to rebuild recently purchased used
equipment. This facility has been of major assistance during the fiscal year
just concluded.

The Company's corporate offices are located in the Buhl Building in downtown
Detroit, where the Company occupies 12,000 square feet of space under a five
year lease expiring in 1999 (renewable for an additional 5 years).

The Company owns outright all of the above described buildings, land, and
production facilities except as specifically noted to the contrary. The
Company utilizes all of the floor space of these structures. Present
facilities are adequate to meet the needs of each respective division.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations


Results of Operations

Federal Screw Works reported net sales of $92.8 million in fiscal 1996, which
represented a 2.5% increase from fiscal 1995 sales of $90.5 million. Net sales
for fiscal 1995 increased 12.1% from fiscal 1994 sales of $80.7 million. Like
1995, the increase in fiscal 1996 sales resulted from new automotive parts
programs and an increase in non-automotive business. The number of parts
shipped decreased slightly in 1996 following an increase in 1995.

Gross profits increased 0.8% to $12 million in fiscal 1996, a $100,000
increase from fiscal 1995. Fiscal 1995 gross profits increased 31% to $11.9
million compared to the $9.1 million level realized in 1994. The 1996 increase
resulted primarily from greater sales and increased manufacturing efficiency,
offset in part by heavy price concessions which continued to be required by
our customers. These concessions are a part of the competitive environment and
will be with us for the foreseeable future. Also, the Company experienced two
critical work stoppages which occurred in our third quarter against a large
customer and at our Chelsea Division in the fourth quarter. Other factors
negatively impacting our gross profits in 1996 included higher labor,
aluminum, plating and packaging costs.

Our Shareholders are aware of the Company's dependence upon sales to the two
largest U.S. automobile manufacturers, a condition that has existed for at
least fifty years. The impact of new parts programs was particularly helpful
in fiscal 1996. We have also increased our shipments to the refrigeration
compressor and small engine markets to approximately ten percent of our total
sales. These markets have been growing at a faster rate than our automotive
business in recent years. Sales to customers outside North America are
increasing, but still are not material.

Three major competitors were acquired by other fastener companies in 1996. We
do not believe these acquisitions will result in a significant change in the
Company's competitive position; although we believe that there will be
continuing reductions in the number of U.S. owned competitors. Over the longer
term we can expect increasing competition from the so-called "transplant"
fastener suppliers who supply the Japanese owned automobile manufacturers with
whom our Company presently enjoys little business. Although it seems clear
that these suppliers desire to increase their business with U.S. owned
automobile manufacturers, we do not believe that competition from these
companies will impact the Company in the near term. In 1996 the Company did
secure two significant business programs through Tier I suppliers to the
Japanese owned automotive manufacturers. We will begin shipment on these
programs in the new fiscal year.

As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 4.9% in fiscal 1996. In fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994 these
expenses were 5.4% and 5.6% of net sales, respectively.

Interest expense increased in fiscal 1996 by 52% from fiscal 1995 levels.
Average borrowings under the Company's bank credit agreement were up, and
average interest rates were higher. Interest expense in fiscal 1995 increased
by 19.0% from fiscal 1994 levels because average interest rates and average
bank borrowings were up.

The Company has been designated by the federal Environmental Protection Agency
("EPA") as a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP") with respect to three
related dump sites. The sites are related in that the PRPs engaged a single
transporter who illegally disposed of toxic and hazardous waste materials
there in the late 1960s. The sites are located in Oakland County, Michigan,
and are referred to as the Springfield Township, the Rose Township and
Cemetery Dump Sites. While the Company denies it has engaged in disposing of
any materials at any of the sites, the Company together with eleven other PRPs
has actively participated in negotiations directed toward settlement of the
EPA's claims. The Rose Township Site was the first site selected by the EPA
for remediation. The participating PRPs were successful in negotiating a
Consent Decree which was approved by the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan under which the Company has agreed to participate
in the cost of the clean up. These costs are not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements. The State of Michigan appealed
the Consent Decree to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
which affirmed entry of the Decree.

The same PRPs have actively been engaged in negotiations with the EPA and the
Michigan Department of Natural Resources in an effort to agree upon mutually
acceptable remediation parameters for the Springfield Township site. While
agreement has not yet been reached upon an overall remediation method,
remediation is occurring on an interim basis. Remediation costs for which the
Company may become liable are not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial statements. With respect to the Cemetery site, the EPA has
performed a site cleanup but has not asserted claims against any of the
identified PRPs which suggests that the evidence of involvement by such
parties is weak. The Company received a notice letter from a representative of
the Barrels, Inc. site PRP Group located in Lansing, Michigan indicating that
"empty" drums from the Company were shipped to the site. The waste allegedly
shipped by the Company is 3520 gallons which is equal to approximately 0.02
percent of the total waste at the site. Since the total site costs for all
parties are not expected to exceed $10 million, the Company's share of the
costs

are not expected to be material. No investigation has been undertaken to
the Company's knowledge which would identify any costs to be incurred by the
Company which might have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements.


Dividends

Cash dividends declared in fiscal year 1996 were $1.10 per share, $.30 more
than that declared in fiscal 1995 and $.50 more than that declared in fiscal
1994. The Board of Directors in August, 1996, declared a $.10 per share
quarterly dividend, and an extra dividend of $.80 per share. 


Liquidity and Capital Resources

On October 24, 1995, the Company converted its commitment letter into a new
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with a three year duration, renewable
annually for an additional year. Borrowings up to $25 million and capital
expenditures of $10 million annually are permitted. The Company has the option
to convert borrowings under the facility to a term note through October 31,
1998, the expiration date of the agreement. Payments under the term note, if
the conversion option were exercised, would be made quarterly and could extend
to October 31, 2000. Therefore borrowings under the Revolving Credit and Term
Loan Agreement, which amounted to $6,960,000 at June 30, 1996 ($7,300,000 at
June 30, 1995) are classified as long-term debt.

Working capital at June 30, 1996 amounted to $13,613,000 as compared to
working capital of $12,538,000 at June 30, 1995.

The balance sheet at June 30, 1996 includes a long-term liability of
$2,977,000 representing the unfunded accumulated benefit obligations of
certain employee pension plans. The excess of this liability over the
unrecognized prior service cost at the date of transition is included as a
reduction of stockholders' equity. The funding policies of these plans, which
are based on actuarial calculations, continue to comply with applicable laws
and regulations.

As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, effective July 1, 1993,
the Company adopted FASB No. 106. The Statement requires that the projected
future cost of providing benefits, such as health care and life insurance, be
recognized as an expense as employees render service instead of when the
benefits are paid. The Statement provides two alternatives for recognizing the
cumulative effect of the accounting change. The first alternative is to
recognize the cumulative effect as a charge against income in the year of
adoption or, alternatively, to recognize the cumulative effect on a
prospective basis as a part of future annual benefit cost. The Company elected
the prospective approach and is amortizing the present value of future
benefits related to employees past service ($17,967,000 at July 1, 1993) over
a period of 20 years. The implementation of this accounting pronouncement has
no impact on the Company's cash flows.

Cash flows from operating activities approximated $7.9 million in fiscal 1996.
This compares to $4.4 million in 1995 and $7.0 million in 1994. One hundred
percent of operating cash flow in fiscal 1996 was generated from earnings and
depreciation. 

Capital expenditures for fiscal 1996 were $5.7 million primarily related to
the purchase and modernization of equipment in order to improve production
efficiencies, maintain existing business and enable the Company to address new
opportunities. Capital expenditures in fiscal years 1995 and 1994 were $7.4
million and $6.2 million, respectively. Expenditures for additional equipment
during fiscal 1997 are presently expected to approximate $5.4 million, of
which $0.7 million had been committed as of June 30, 1996. These future
capital expenditures are expected to be financed from cash generated from
operations and additional borrowing capacity under the bank credit agreement.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.9 million in fiscal 1996,
compared with $1.8 million provided by financing activities in fiscal 1995. In
fiscal 1994 $1.0 million was used in financing activities. Fluctuations in
these activities have been influenced principally by borrowings and repayments
under the Company's Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement.


Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices 

The Company passes increased costs on to customers, to the extent permitted by
competition, by increasing sales prices whenever possible. In fiscal 1996,
1995 and 1994 the Company was generally unable to pass on cost increases
incurred due to competitive pressures. Sales price increases in each of these
years were insignificant.

Note 1 -- Significant Accounting Policies

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost
determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method was used for certain raw
material inventories, $1,530,113 and $2,617,090 at June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The remaining inventories are costed using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method. If inventories had been valued at current cost,
amounts reported at June 30 would have been increased by $675,000 in 1996 and
$763,000 in 1995. 

Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment is stated at
cost, which includes the cost of interest which is capitalized during
construction of significant additions. Provisions for depreciation are based
upon the estimated useful lives of the respective assets and are computed by
the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and by accelerated
methods for income tax purposes.

Income Taxes: Income taxes have been provided using the liability method. 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Reclassifications: Reclassifications were made to the 1995 financial
statements to conform with the current year's presentation.

</TABLE>

The Company has a $25,000,000 revolving credit and term loan agreement with a
bank. The Company has the option to convert borrowings thereunder (classified
as long-term debt) to a term note through October 31, 1998, the expiration
date of the agreement. Payments under the term note, if the conversion option
is exercised, would be made quarterly commencing three months following
conversion until maturity of the term note on October 31, 2000. Interest
(6.75% at June 30, 1996) on outstanding borrowings is determined based on the
prime rate, or at the Company's option, an alternative variable market rate.
The Company also pays a commitment fee of 3/8% on the unused portion of the
revolving credit. The aggregate fair value of the Company's revolving credit
note payable and lease-purchase obligation approximates their recorded amounts
at June 30, 1996. 

The Company is in compliance with covenants of the revolving credit and 
term loan agreement and the lease-purchase obligation including restrictions 
on payment of cash dividends. Retained earnings of $7,467,000 are free of 
restriction at June 30, 1996.

Interest paid by the Company during fiscal 1996, fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994
aggregated $945,000, $735,000, and $591,000, respectively.

Note 5 -- Employee Benefits

The Company sponsors four defined benefit pension plans covering substantially
all employees. Benefits under three of the plans are based on negotiated rates
times years of service. Under the remaining plan, benefits are based on
compensation during the years immediately preceding retirement and years of
service. It is the Company's policy to make contributions to these plans
sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements of the applicable laws and
regulations, plus such additional amounts, if any, as the Company's actuarial
consultants advise to be appropriate. Plan assets for these plans consist
principally of fixed income instruments, equity securities and participation
in insurance company contracts. 

A summary of the components of net pension expense for these plans is as
follows:

In accounting for pension plans, the Company used a discount rate of 7.75% in
1996 and 8% in 1995 and 1994, a 5% rate of increase in compensation, and an 8%
expected rate of return on assets. The following table sets forth the plans'
funded status at the March 31, 1996 and 1995 measurement dates:

The change in the discount rate, coupled with changes in other actuarial
assumptions and certain plan amendments, had the effect of increasing the
projected benefit obligations for the under-funded plans by approximately
$1,300,000.

In 1995, the Company established a retirement plan for directors who are not
employees of the Company. The net periodic pension expense for the plan was
$150,000 and $290,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The actuarial present
value of vested benefit obligations approximated $560,000 at June 30, 1996 and
$518,000 at June 30, 1995. The plan is currently unfunded.

Note 6 -- Other Postretirement Benefits

In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides certain health
care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Substantially all of
the Company's employees may become eligible for those benefits if they reach
normal retirement age while working for the Company. The benefits are provided
through certain insurance companies.

The following table presents the plan's funded status reconciled with amounts
recognized in the Company's financial statements:

</TABLE>

During 1996, the Company made adjustments to the healh care cost trend rate
and the early retirement rates for employees to more accurately reflect actual
experience. These adjustments resulted in a net reduction in the accumulated
projected benefit obligation of approximately $1,388,000 and a net reduction
in the net periodic postretirement benefit cost of $258,000. 

The weighted average annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of
covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) is 9 percent for fiscal
1997 and 9.5 percent for fiscal year 1996 and is assumed to decrease gradually
to 5.5 percent for 2004 and remain at that level thereafter. The health care
cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported.
For example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one
percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, by $2,104,000 and $2,199,000,
respectively, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of
net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year ended June 30, 1996, by
$205,000.

The weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 8% at June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

Note 7 -- Industry Information

Federal Screw Works is a domestic manufacturer of industrial component parts,
consisting of locknuts, bolts, piston pins, studs, bushings, shafts and other
machined, cold formed, hardened and/or ground metal parts, all of which
constitute a single business segment.

The Company's products are manufactured at several plants and are fabricated
from metal rod and bar, which are generally available at competitive prices
from multiple sources. Production is in high-volume job lots to the
specification of original equipment manufacturers and sold to them for
incorporation into their assemblies. The majority of these sales are to
manufacturers of automobiles and trucks, with the balance being mainly to
manufacturers of nonautomotive durable goods.

Approximately 88% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 1996 (89% and 90% in
both fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994, respectively) were made either directly or
indirectly to automotive companies. The Company generally does not require
collateral from its customers.

Customers comprising 10% or greater of the Company's net sales are summarized
as follows:

Sales to customers outside the United States are not significant.


Note 8 -- Restricted Stock Bonus Plan

The Company maintains a restricted stock bonus plan for certain key employees.
Shares issued under the plan are subject to certain restrictions which lapse
generally over a period of six to ten years from date of grant. The market
value of shares issued, considered to be compensation, is being charged to
operations over the periods during which the restrictions lapse and the
unamortized compensation related to the outstanding restricted shares ($24,718
and $71,850 as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively) has been deducted from
additional capital.

Note 9 -- Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course
of business. Management, after taking into consideration legal counsel's
evaluation of such actions, is of the opinion that their outcome will not have
a significant effect on the Company's financial statements.

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 financial position of Federal Screw Works at June
