                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

         General.

         Goddard Industries, Inc. (which together with its wholly-owned
subsidiaries is hereinafter referred to as the "Company") is engaged primarily
in the design, manufacture, distribution and sale of cryogenic valves for
industrial and commercial use. During the quarter ended July 3, 1999, the
Company sold The Webstone Company, Inc. (referred to as the "Webstone Division"
or "Webstone"), its former plumbing supplies division, to the President of that
division for approximately $1,789,000, as more fully described below.

         The Company is a Massachusetts corporation organized in 1959. Its
executive offices are located at 705 Plantation Street, Worcester, Massachusetts
01605.

         The Company's Goddard Valve Corp. subsidiary (referred to as the "Valve
Division") designs, manufactures and sells cryogenic gate, globe and check
valves and control devices required for the handling of liquefied oxygen,
nitrogen, liquefied natural gas, and other liquefied gases. Additionally, the
Company has developed a manifold system to allow addition of controls to a
cryogenic tank as a single unit. The principal markets for the Valve Division's
cryogenic valves historically have been air separation companies and
manufacturers of cryogenic tanks and transport trailers. In more recent years,
markets for special cryogenic valves have developed for use on tanks required by
the semi-conductor manufacturing and medical technology industries. The Valve
Division's cryogenic valves are distributed domestically both by direct sales to
customers and through independent sales representatives. The Valve Division also
makes direct sales of the valves to customers in Canada, Europe and Asian
countries.

         The decision by the Board of Directors to sell the Webstone Division
followed a strategic analysis of the Company's position in both the plumbing
supplies business, where it was a relatively small competitor, and the cryogenic
valve business, where it is a market leader in the Western Hemisphere. The Board
of Directors determined that there was little synergy between these two business
sectors, and that the decision to sell the Webstone Division would enable the
Company to focus its financial and management resources on the cryogenic valve
industry.

         The Board of Directors was also aware that Michael E. Reck, President
of the Webstone Division since 1996, had expressed interest in acquiring the
Webstone business from the Company. Because Michael Reck is the son of Saul I.
Reck, founder and Chairman of the Board of the Company, and the brother of Joel
M. Reck, Clerk and legal counsel to the Company, the Board of Directors
appointed a special committee of the Board of Directors to conduct negotiations
with Michael Reck concerning the sale of the Webstone business to him. The
special committee consisted of Messrs. Humphreys, Knopp, and Wimmergren, the
three outside directors, and Mr. Salvatore J. Vinciguerra, the President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Messrs. Saul Reck and Joel Reck did not
participate in discussions concerning the transaction. In addition, because Joel
Reck is a member of the law firm of Brown Rudnick Freed & Gesmer which normally
acts as the Company's legal counsel, the special committee retained separate
legal counsel for the


                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4
purpose of negotiating the transaction with Michael Reck. The special committee
also retained the investment-banking firm of Fechtor Detwiler, Inc. to advise it
on the transaction. After several months of negotiations between the Company and
Michael Reck, the special committee reached an agreement to sell the stock of
the Webstone subsidiary to him for a purchase price of $1,789,000 - $1,389,000
in cash at closing, $150,000 in the form of a ninety day non-interest-bearing
loan, and $250,000 in preferred stock of Webstone. Fechtor Detwiler, Inc.
provided an opinion to the Board of Directors that the transaction was fair to
the Company.

         The sale of the Webstone subsidiary to Michael Reck was completed July
2, 1999. At the time of the sale, the Webstone subsidiary had a book value of
$2,053,000. As a result of the difference in value between book value and
purchase price, transactional costs associated with the sale, and reserves
taken, there was a loss on the sale of $419,000 or $.19 per share.

         Sources of Supply.

         Raw materials for the Valve Division's business consist of stainless
steel, aluminum and bronze castings and bar stock, which are available from a
variety of regular and competitive suppliers. The Company does not anticipate
difficulty in obtaining sufficient raw materials for that business.

         Dependence upon Principal Customers.

         During fiscal 1999 the Valve Division was dependent on one customer for
23% of its cryogenic valve business and any loss or significant decrease in
business from this customer would have a material adverse effect on the business
of the Company.

         Backlog.

         The dollar amount of backlog of orders believed to be firm for the
Valve Division was approximately $230,000 as of the end of the 1999 fiscal year,
compared with approximately $886,000 as of the end of the 1998 fiscal year and
$860,000 at the end of fiscal 1997. The lower backlog at the end of fiscal 1999
reflects the lower level of bookings for the year, coupled with the need to meet
delivery dates determined by customer requirements.

         No part of the backlog is seasonal. Backlog varies according to
business conditions within the industry, and all backlog is expected to be
shipped within the current fiscal year.

         Competition.

         All aspects of the Company's business are highly competitive. The
Company believes there are between six and eight principal competitors in the
Valve Division's cryogenic valve business. The Valve Division competes on the
basis of product performance, dependability, and price. In the last year,
foreign competitors have been more aggressive in pursuing business in the United
States. The Company believes that the Valve Division's competitive position
within that industry is strong, although there can be no assurance that that
situation will continue.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5
         Research and Development.

         During the last fiscal year, the Company spent approximately $197,000
and had six employees working full or part time on Company-sponsored research
and development, all of which was spent on cryogenic valve development. During
the previous year the Company spent approximately $156,000 for research and
development.

         The Company has obtained a number of patents and has additional patent
applications pending with respect to certain of the products of the Valve
Division. There can be no assurance that any of the pending patent applications
will be granted or that existing patents will be enforceable. While the Company
believes the patents have value, it believes that the success of the Valve
Division depends more upon the technical competence and manufacturing skills of
its employees than upon patents.

         Employees.

         As of December 20, 1999, the Company had a total of 33 employees, 32 of
whom were full time employees of the Company.


ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.

         The Company's executive offices and the business of the Valve Division
are located at 705 Plantation Street, Worcester, Massachusetts in a one-story
building on a main thoroughfare owned by Goddard Valve Corporation. The building
has approximately 37,000 square feet: a 27,000 square foot masonry structure
erected in 1961 and a 10,000 square foot steel structure added in 1997. The
Company leases approximately 15,000 square feet to Webstone pursuant to a lease
with terms that were negotiated on an arms-length basis.

         The Company believes that the facility is adequate to meet Company
needs for the foreseeable future. The Company believes that its existing
facilities and equipment are well maintained and in good operating condition.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         In 1995 the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection
("DEP") designated the Company's facility at 705 Plantation Street, Worcester as
a Tier 1C Site under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan as a result of a prior
release of hazardous materials on the site. The Company was required to conduct
response actions required under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan. These
actions culminated in the filing of a Class C Response Action Outcome Statement
with the DEP in September 1998. Based upon the information presently available,
no further corrective response actions are required; however, the Company must
continue to monitor the site and file reports of the monitoring results with the
DEP.

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

Results of Operations - 1999 Compared to 1998

         As a result of the sale of Webstone, the Company has three classes of
income (loss) for reporting purposes for the year: income from continuing
operations; income from discontinued operations (the sold Webstone Division),
and loss on the sale of the Webstone Division.

         Net sales from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended October
2, 1999 were $4,976,000, with net income from continuing operations of $463,000
or $.21 per share. This compared with net sales of $5,838,000 and net income of
$786,000 or $.37 per share from continuing operations for the prior year. Net
income from discontinued operations was $30,000 or $.01 per share in 1999
compared with a net loss of $39,000 or $.02 per share in the prior year. The
sale of Webstone resulted in a book loss of $419,000, or $.19 per share. As a
result, the


                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8
consolidated net income for the fiscal year was $74,000 or $.03 per share,
compared with $747,000 or $.35 per share last year.

         The downward trend in orders received year-to-year from cryogenic valve
operations continued throughout the year. Orders received from cryogenic valve
operations in the year ended October 2, 1999 were $4,351,000 compared with
$5,887,000 in fiscal year 1998. The Valve Division's two largest customers
accounted for two thirds of this decline. Management believes that those
reductions are representative of reductions in spending by those customers and
the remainder of the industry, and do not reflect losses in the Company's market
share. Few new air separation plants are being constructed anywhere in the world
at the moment, reflecting continued stagnation in new plant and equipment
spending in air separation plants in Asia, coupled with extra capacity in the
industry created during the 1996-1997 expansion.

         Gross profit margins from continuing operations for fiscal 1999
declined slightly to 40% from 43% in fiscal 1998 as a result of lower volumes.
Selling and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased as a
percentage of revenue to 25% during fiscal 1999, compared to 21% during fiscal
1998. The increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues was due in part to the lower volume as well as costs associated with
the transition in the position of President and Chief Executive Officer in the
first quarter of the fiscal year.


Results of Operations - 1998 Compared to 1997

         Net sales from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended October
3, 1998 were $5,838,000 with net income from continuing operations of $786,000
or $.37 per share. This compared with net sales of $6,727,000 and net income of
$920,000 or $.44 per share from continuing operations for the fiscal year 1997.
The net loss from discontinued operations in fiscal 1998 was $39,000 or $.02 per
share compared with a net loss of $30,000 or $.01 per share in fiscal 1997. As a
result, the consolidated net income for the fiscal year was $747,000 or $.35 per
share, compared with $890,000 or $.43 per share in fiscal 1997.

         Gross profit margins for fiscal 1998 improved over 1997 to 43% from 37%
reflecting improvements in the Division's manufacturing process. Sales and
administrative expenses increased from 15% to 21% as a result of increases in
personnel in engineering and production.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Historically, the Company has funded operations through earnings and
bank borrowings. However, the sale of the Webstone business has enhanced the
Company's balance sheet and provides it with additional liquidity. At July 3,
1999, the Company had paid off all long term debt except equipment leases of
$140,000 and had approximately $1,770,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The
Company's line of credit with BankBoston has been temporarily discontinued
pending specific requirements for additional capital.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9
         During fiscal 1999, operating activities from continuing operations
produced $854,000 of cash. The major sources of cash were net income from
continuing operations and depreciation.

         The Company received $1,539,000 from the sale of Webstone, and spent
$475,000 in its discontinued operations throughout the year, compared with
$304,000 in fiscal 1998. Approximately $115,000 was invested in property and
equipment during fiscal 1999, compared to $225,000 during the prior year.

         The Company believes that its working capital and cash position provide
sufficient liquidity to handle the normal working capital requirements of its
business.

         The Company's results of operations have not been materially effected
by seasonality.


Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

         Some computers, software, and other equipment include programming code
in which calendar year data is abbreviated to only two digits. As a result of
this design decision, some of the systems do not properly recognize a year that
begins with "20" instead of "19". These problems are commonly referred to as the
"Year 2000 problem".

         In March 1999 the Company completed its assessment of the ability of
the computers, systems and electronic equipment of the Valve division to process
information involving the Year 2000 and beyond accurately, and completed the
necessary corrective actions. The total cost for assessment and correction of
internal "Year 2000" problems for the Valve division was approximately $50,000,
which was paid out of working capital and expensed currently. The Company's
discussions with its suppliers and customers of the Valve division as to the
possible impact of Year 2000 problems have not disclosed any anticipated
problems. Management believes that a reasonable "worst case scenario" is that
Year 2000 problems would cause delays in deliveries of production material.
Management has developed contingency plans to address this worst case scenario,
including identifying alternative supply sources and planning for alternative
delivery arrangements.

                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Shareholders and Board of Directors
Goddard Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Goddard
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of October 2, 1999 and October 3, 1998 and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 2, 1999. 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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Goddard
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of October 2, 1999 and October 3, 1998 and
the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended October 2, 1999, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             OCTOBER 2, 1999, OCTOBER 3, 1998 AND SEPTEMBER 27, 1997

(1)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       Principles of Consolidation:
           The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Goddard
           Industries, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries Goddard Valve
           Corporation (Valve) and Goddard Management Corporation, incorporated
           on July 28, 1999, and Valve's wholly-owned subsidiary, Webstone
           Company, Inc. (Webstone). On July 2, 1999, Webstone was sold (Note
           15). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

       Fiscal Year:
           The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to September
           30. The years ended October 2, 1999 and September 27, 1997 each
           contain 52 weeks while the year ended October 3, 1998 contains 53
           weeks.

       Cash and Cash Equivalents:
           The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
           maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
           Company's cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with financial
           institutions. At times, such deposits are in excess of Federal
           Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits.

       Inventories:
           Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
           determined by the first-in, first-out method.

       Property, Plant and Equipment:
           Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated
           using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful
           lives:

                                                                     YEARS
                                                                     -----
                      Building and improvements                     10 - 35
                      Machinery, equipment and tools                 3 - 10
                      Office equipment and fixtures                  5 - 10

       Advertising:
           Advertising costs are expensed when incurred.

       Income Taxes:
           Taxes are provided for items entering into the determination of net
           income for financial reporting purposes, irrespective of when such
           items are reported for income tax purposes. Accordingly, deferred
           income taxes have been provided for all temporary differences. Tax
           credits are accounted for on the flow-through method, whereby credits
           earned during the year are used to reduce the current income tax
           provision.

       Estimates:
           The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
           accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
           and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
           Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of
           current events and actions to be undertaken in the future, they may
           differ from actual results.

(1)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

       Revenue Recognition:
           The Company recognizes revenue when goods are shipped from its
           facilities.

       Forward Exchange Contracts:
           The Company periodically enters into forward exchange contracts in
           foreign currencies to hedge against anticipated foreign currency
           commitments with respect to inventory purchases. The gains or losses
           on these contracts are included as part of the cost of sales.

(2)    INVENTORIES

       Inventories are comprised of the following:

(5)    COMMON STOCK OPTIONS (Continued)

       In 1998 and 1997, the Company granted non-qualified options for 5,000
       shares to each non-employee director and in varying amounts to certain
       employees, for an aggregate of 110,000 shares of common stock. The
       exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company's
       stock on the date of grant and the option's maximum term is five years.

       The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the
       Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
       assumptions:

</TABLE>

       The Company applies APB Opinion 25 in accounting for employee stock
       options. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. Had
       compensation costs been determined on the basis of FASB Statement 123 in
       1999, 1998 and 1997, net income from continuing operations would have
       been reduced to $422,677, $740,545 and $894,912 which would have
       decreased basic earnings per share by $.02 in 1999 and 1998 and $.01 in
       1997. Diluted earnings per share in 1999 and 1997 would have been
       decreased by $.01 while in 1998 they would have been decreased by $.02.

       In October 1999 the Company granted qualified options for an additional
       50,000 shares to its President under the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan, and
       non-qualified options for 5,000 shares to each non-employee director
       (20,000 in total).

(6)    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

       The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for
       cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses
       approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.
       The investment is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The
       carrying value of capital lease obligations approximates fair value since
       the rates and terms of these instruments are substantially equivalent to
       those the Company would offer or obtain at the balance sheet date.

(8)    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

       Employment Agreements:
           In October 1998, the Board of Directors entered into an employment
           agreement with the Company's President requiring minimum annual
           payments of $140,000.

           The Company has a non-qualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan
           for the Chairman of the Board providing for payments, in the form of
           a joint and survivor annuity, of $60,000 for his life and, upon his
           death $30,000 to his spouse for her life. The payments will be
           adjusted annually for increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
           since 1993 with a lump sum payment due annually within forty-five
           days of the fiscal year end. As of October 2, 1999, the deferred
           compensation liability represents the actuarial present value of this
           obligation based upon the following assumptions.

           The Company has employment agreements with certain key executive
           officers and directors that become operative only upon a change in
           control of the Company without the approval of the Board of
           Directors. Compensation which might be payable under these agreements
           has not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements of
           the Company as of October 2, 1999, since a change in control, as
           defined, has not occurred.

        Environmental matters:
           In 1998, the Company filed a Class "C" Response Action Outcome
           Statement with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental
           Protection regarding its facility in Worcester, Massachusetts. Based
           upon the information presently available, periodic monitoring is
           required.

(9)    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

       Research and development costs charged to operations in 1999, 1998, and
       1997 were approximately $197,000, $156,000, and $175,000, respectively.

(10)   ADVERTISING COSTS

       Advertising costs charged to operations in 1999, 1998, and 1997 were
       approximately $ 8,000, $6,000, and $7,000, respectively.

(11)   PROFIT SHARING PLAN

       The Company has a profit sharing plan covering substantially all
       employees. The Company's profit sharing contribution is determined
       annually by the Board of Directors.

       Incorporated into the plan are the provisions of Section 401(k) of the
       Internal Revenue Code, which allows employees to contribute to their
       accounts on a pretax basis. The Company matches employee contributions up
       to a maximum of 25% of each employee's contribution.

       Total contributions by the Company amounted to approximately $ 53,000,
       $59,000, and $61,000 in 1999, 1998, and 1997 respectively.

(12)   EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

       The Company has a qualified employee stock purchase plan covering all
       employees except officers and directors. Employees participating in the
       plan are granted options semi-annually to purchase common stock of the
       Company. The number of full shares available for purchase is a function
       of the employee's accumulated payroll deductions at the end of each
       six-month interval. The option price is the lesser of 85% of the fair
       value of the Company's common stock on the first day of the payment
       period or 85% of the fair value of the Company's common stock on the last
       day of the payment period. As of October 2, 1999, October 3, 1998, and
       September 27, 1997, there were no options outstanding under the plan.

(13)   EARNINGS PER SHARE

       The following data show the amounts used in computing earnings per share
       from continuing operations and the effects on income and the weighted
       average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock.
