NOTE C--NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
- ------------------------------------

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which is
effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 1997, and requires
all items of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Other
comprehensive income may include foreign currency items, minimum pension
liability adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in
debt and equity securities. The accumulated balance of other comprehensive
income must be displayed separately from retained earnings and additional paid-
in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. The
Company has adopted this accounting standard effective January 1, 1998, as
required, and currently there are no items that qualify as "other comprehensive
income." Accordingly, no separate statement has been presented herein.

PART I, ITEM 2 -    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                             CADE INDUSTRIES, INC.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             ---------------------

SALES
- -----

The Company's net sales of $21,913,000 in the first quarter of 1998 represented
an increase of 77.4% or $9,558,000 from the same quarter of 1997. The higher
sales for the first quarter of 1998 primarily reflect increased sales of jet
engine test facilities and related ground testing equipment as a result of the
October 1997 acquisition of Central Engineering Company and its subsidiaries
("Cenco") which contributed revenues of $6.8 million. The Company's operations,
excluding Cenco, had increased revenues of 22.6% from the first quarter of 1997,
resulting from higher sales of military spares, OEM gas turbine engine
components and repair and overhaul services.

At March 31, 1998, the Company's backlog was $84.1 million ($40.2 million at
March 31, 1997) which includes both firm orders supported by customer purchase
orders with fixed delivery dates, and blanket purchase orders against which
customers issue production releases covering relatively short time periods.
Cenco's order backlog was $32.0 million of the Company's March 31, 1998 total
$84.1 million backlog. Overhaul and repair orders are not included in the order
backlog due to their very short lead times. These sales currently represent
about 22.3% of Cade's total annual sales.

COST OF SALES
- -------------

Cost of sales for the first quarter of 1998 increased $7,261,000 or 77.4% from
the same quarter of 1997. The increase from the prior year's quarter was
primarily due to the higher sales in 1998. Cost of sales as a percent of sales
was 75.9% in both the first quarters of 1998 and 1997. Material cost of sales as
a percent of sales increased in the first quarter of 1998 due to the inclusion
of the operations of Cenco, the Company's newest subsidiary, which manufactures
jet engine test facilities and certain related ground testing equipment. A
portion of Cenco's contracts to manufacture engine test facilities involves
building construction by subcontractors, the costs of which are considered as
material costs and are passed through to the customers. The increase in the
material cost percentage was offset by decreases in both tooling amortization
and overhead costs as a percent of sales. The decreased tooling amortization
cost percentage resulted from a shift in the mix of ground test equipment sales.
Overhead cost of sales as a percent of sales decreased as a result of continued
cost containment efforts and the spreading of fixed manufacturing costs over a
larger sales base.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------------

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("administrative expenses") as a
percent of sales were 16.4% and 17.0% for the first quarters of 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The decreased percentage of administrative expenses from the 1997
quarter is primarily the

                                       7
<PAGE>
result of the 77.4% increase in sales and the corresponding spreading of these
costs over a larger sales base.

Actual amounts expended increased by $1,484,000 ($792,000 attributable to Cenco)
from the first quarter of 1997 to the same quarter of 1998. Factors contributing
to the higher dollar level of administrative expenditures (excluding Cenco) were
increased marketing costs, professional and consulting fees relating to
development of internal production and information systems, certain insurance
costs, administrative staff and related costs and travel-related costs incurred
to support the higher current and expected sales volumes.

NET INTEREST EXPENSE
- --------------------

Net interest expense as a percent of sales was 1.5% for both the first quarters
of 1998 and 1997, while the actual amount increased by $143,000 to $328,000. The
increase in the net amount of interest expense was due to the additional debt
associated with the acquisition of Cenco.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
- ------------------

Income taxes were $442,000 or 2.0% of sales in the 1998 first quarter, compared
to $219,000 or 1.8% of sales for the same quarter of 1997. The effective tax
rate is lower than the statutory rate due primarily to the lower tax rate of the
Company's foreign sales corporation.

NET INCOME
- ----------

Net income of $918,000 in the 1998 first quarter represents an increase in 
after-tax earnings of $447,000 or 94.9%, from the 1997 first quarter, as a
result of the factors discussed above.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                        -------------------------------

The Company has historically met its working capital and longer term capital
needs through operating cash flow, short and long-term bank debt and leasing
arrangements on certain items of capital equipment. The Company financed its
1997 acquisition of Cenco with long-term bank debt and the issuance of its
common stock.

During the first quarter of 1998, capital was used principally to fund the
Company's inventory and accounts receivable. Management expects to gradually
reduce its present level of investment in inventory during 1998 and to increase
its present level of investment in plant facilities, production and information
system technology, tooling and equipment for improved manufacturing efficiency
and quality enhancement. The Company will also continue to seek acquisition
opportunities to expand and/or diversify its markets.

At the end of the quarter, the Company maintained a $9,000,000 unsecured credit
line with a bank, $2,524,000 of which was available at March 31, 1998, after
consideration of actual line of credit usage and credit line commitments to
support foreign exchange contracts and letters of credit. The Company also had
outstanding approximately $11,702,000 of secured term debt, and $1,323,000 of
subordinated notes.

The Company is currently studying the potential impact of year 2000 issues on
its business and internal operations. The study is also directed at estimating
amounts to be expended relative to year 2000 issues and their impact on the
Company's operations, liquidity and capital resources. To date, no material
amount has been expended on year 2000 issues. The Company believes the costs
associated with transitioning its current computer environment to one that is
fully year 2000 compliant is not material to its results of operations or its
liquidity and capital resources, although the total cost of compliance with
these issues is not yet known.

Management believes that expected increased revenues and on-going emphasis on
working capital management will provide cash flow from operations. As a result,
the Company's cash flow from operations, its current credit facilities and
available financing opportunities are felt to be adequate to finance its current
operations and capital expenditure requirements at present and anticipated
levels.

Certain of the information contained in Item 2 is of a forward looking nature
and is subject to various uncertainties. See Item 5.

ITEM 5.   OTHER INFORMATION

The Company's officers may, when appropriate, make public statements that
contain forward looking information as to industry conditions and the Company's
sales and earnings. Forward looking information is subject to risks and
uncertainties that may significantly impact expected results. Among the factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those which are
anticipated are the following: business conditions generally and conditions
specifically in the aircraft and aerospace industries; timing of receipt and
delivery of orders; the timing and satisfactory completion of engine test
facilities; price fluctuations for raw materials and labor; competitive factors,
including price competition from other suppliers of similar products and
overhaul and repair services; risk of obsolescence of tooling inventory before
full amortization on project costs; cancellation of orders; foreign currency
exchange rates, the ability to obtain effective hedges against fluctuations in
currency exchange rates; and foreign trade and fiscal policies.

Change In Chief Executive Officer
- ---------------------------------

At the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company announced the
election of Cade Industries' President and Chief Operating Officer, Richard A.
Lund, to President and Chief Executive Officer. John W. Sandford, who had been
named Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective September 1,
1997, made the announcement and remains as Chairman. Mr. Lund has been
associated with Cade Industries since 1983 and has served as the Company's
President and Chief Operating Officer since April 1990.
