                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


August 5, 1997

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Taylor Forge International, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
operations, of changes in stockholder's equity and of cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Taylor Forge
International, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of TFI, Inc.) at June 4, 1997
and March 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the period from April 1, 1997 through June 4, 1997 and for the year ended March
31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 11, the Company was acquired by Centrum Industries,
Inc. after the close of business on June 4, 1997.

TAYLOR FORGE INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   THE COMPANY
   Taylor Forge International, Inc. (Taylor Forge or the Company), a wholly
   owned subsidiary of TFI, Inc., produces seamless steel rolled rings for
   bearing and special machine manufacturers.  Sales of the Company's products
   are made to both domestic and international customers.  For financial
   reporting purposes, the Company is considered to operate in a single
   reporting segment.

   After the close of business on June 4, 1997, the Company was acquired by
   Centrum Industries, Inc. in a purchase transaction.  The accompanying
   financial statements do not reflect any adjustments associated with this
   transaction.  See Note 11.

   INVENTORIES
   Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first out method) or
   market.

   REVENUE RECOGNITION
   Revenue is recognized at the time title of goods sold passes to customers,
   which generally occurs when goods are shipped.

   PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT
   Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost.  Provisions for
   depreciation of plant and equipment are computed using straight-line and
   accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The
   useful lives of property used in arriving at the annual amount of
   depreciation provided are as follows:  buildings, 30 years; machinery and
   equipment, 7 to 20 years; furniture, fixtures and vehicles, 5 years; and
   tooling and dies 10 years.

   INCOME TAXES
   Taylor Forge is a member of a group of companies, owned by TFI, Inc., that
   files a consolidated federal income tax return.  TFI, Inc., Taylor Forge and
   other consolidated subsidiaries of TFI, Inc. are not subject to state or
   local income taxes.  The members of the group do not record separate
   provisions for income taxes, nor do members of the group record income taxes
   receivable/payable to other members of the group or TFI, Inc.  The amount of
   income tax expense, current income tax payable/receivable, and deferred
   income tax amounts recorded in these financial statements represent
   management's estimate of the amount of income taxes attributable to Taylor
   Forge as determined on a separate return basis.  Under this approach,
   current tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated taxes
   payable or refundable on the tax returns for the current year.  Deferred tax
   liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects
   attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards that result from
   events that have been recognized in either the financial statements or the
   tax returns, but not both.  The measurement of current and deferred tax
   liabilities and assets is based on provisions of enacted tax laws.  Deferred
   tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that
   are not expected to be realized.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

   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 amounts reported in the financial statements and
   related notes to financial statements.  Changes in such estimates may affect
   amounts reported in future periods.  The most significant estimates made by
   management include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation of
   inventories, depreciable lives of fixed assets, the allocation of common
   expenses and the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance.

   ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND EXPENDITURES
   The Company expenses environmental expenditures related to existing
   conditions resulting from past or current operations and from which no
   current or future benefit is discernible.  The Company determines its
   liability on a site-by-site basis and records a liability at the time when
   it is probable and can be reasonably estimated.  Unasserted claims are not
   included in the estimated liability.  The Company's estimated liability is
   reduced to reflect the anticipated participation of other potentially
   responsible parties in those instances where it is probable that such
   parties are legally responsible and financially capable of paying their
   respective shares of the relevant costs.  The estimated liability of the
   Company is not discounted or reduced for possible recoveries from insurance
   carriers.  Insurance recoveries are only recorded if probable of receipt.
   No environmental liabilities were recorded at June 4, 1997 or March 31, 1997
   since no conditions which would result in a liability being recorded were
   known to exist.

   EARNINGS PER SHARE
   Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
   outstanding during the year end period.  There are no common stock
   equivalents.

   ALLOCATION OF COMMON EXPENSES

   Common expenses incurred within the consolidated group of TFI, Inc.
   companies are allocated to the individual companies on a specific
   identification basis, if possible.  When it is not possible or practical to
   do so, common expenses are allocated based upon sales volume, total assets
   or the level of intercompany borrowings.  Management considers these methods
   to be reasonable.


   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments, which include
   cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and
   long-term debt, approximate their fair market values at June 4, 1997 and
   March 31, 1997.

   During the year ended March 31, 1997, management revised its estimate
   regarding the net realizable value of certain inventory and recorded a
   charge of approximately $411,000 to write these inventories down.

3. BANK LINE OF CREDIT

   TFI, Inc. has an outstanding line of credit with a bank.  The Company, as
   part of the consolidated group of TFI, Inc. has access to the line of
   credit.  At June 4, 1997 and March 31, 1997, the Company had taken net
   advances against the line of credit of $3,065,049 and $2,944,475,
   respectively.  At June 4, 1997, TFI, Inc. (and the Company, as part of TFI,
   Inc.) had approximately $900,000 of available credit.

   The line of credit expires in September 1997 and bears interest at the bank
   prime rate (8.5% at June 4, 1997).  The line of credit is collateralized by
   accounts receivable and inventories of the TFI, Inc. companies.

   The accounts receivable from related parties of $2,847,489 and $2,812,481 at
   June 4, 1997 and March 31, 1997, respectively, relate primarily to amounts
   paid by the Company on behalf of the affiliated TFI, Inc. companies
   utilizing the bank line of credit.  Interest is charged to the related
   parties at the same rate as the line of credit.  Such interest is netted
   against interest expense in the accompanying statement of operations.

   The bank line of credit was paid in full after the close of business on
   June 4, 1997.


4. SHAREHOLDER LOANS

   At June 4, 1997 and March 31, 1997, the Company had unsecured notes payable
   to relatives of shareholders of TFI, Inc. of $274,831 and $303,184,
   respectively.  These notes bear interest at the prime rate (8.5% at June 4,
   1997) plus 1.25% and are payable on demand.  Interest expense relating to
   these loans was $5,257 and $32,166 for the period from April 1, 1997 to June
   4, 1997 and for the year ended March 31, 1997, respectively.

   The Company does not require collateral or other form of security from these
   customers, or any of its other customers, except for certain export

8. INCOME TAXES

   Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
   between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
   reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Income tax
   expenses have not previously been determined on a separate company basis.
   Had income taxes been determined on a separate basis, the assets and
   liabilities would have consisted of the following:

   At June 4, 1997, TFI, Inc. had unused federal net operating loss
   carryforwards which were generated by the Company.  Management has
   established a valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets in

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   The Company enters into various related party transactions, primarily with
   members of the consolidated group of TFI, Inc. companies.  The more
   significant related party transactions were as follows:

   *  The Company leased space in its manufacturing facility to a related
      company for $1,000 per month.
   *  As discussed in Note 8, the Company, its parent, and other members of the
      consolidated group file a consolidated federal income tax return.
   *  Taylor Forge paid various expenses for members of the consolidated group
      during both periods.  When Taylor Forge paid such expenses, an
      intercompany receivable and payable were established.
   *  The members of the consolidated group participated jointly in the use of
      a bank line of credit during both periods.  Interest expense was
      allocated to the members of the consolidated group based upon each
      company's relative use of funds and repayments of the line of credit and
      the relative amount of each company's intercompany accounts
      receivable/payable.
   *  As discussed in Note 4, the Company had notes payable to family members
      of all three common stockholders of TFI, Inc. during both periods.

NOTE 1 - The above statement gives effect to the following pro forma
adjustments necessary to reflect the acquisition outlined in Note 1 to the pro
forma balance sheet:

       the revaluation of property and depreciable lives resulting from
       purchase accounting adjustments.

       contracts, utilization of the McInnes internal sales force and
       consolidation of certain executive administrative functions.

   c.  Increase in annual interest charges due to the net additional debt
       incurred for the purchase of the Taylor Forge assets by Centrum.

   d.  Increase in income tax benefit for the effect of including Taylor in
       consolidated Centrum provision at a tax rate of 34%.
