                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                        ---------------------------------


To the Board of Directors and Owner of
Ketema, Inc. - Heat Transfer Division


In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
operations and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Heat Transfer Division of Ketema, Inc. at February 29,
1996 and February 28, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the year ended February 29, 1996 and the periods ended February 28, 1995 and
December 13, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Division'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 explained in Note 12, certain assets and liabilities of the Division were
sold to an unrelated company effective April 1, 1996.

KETEMA, INC. - HEAT TRANSFER DIVISION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Background
         ----------

         These financial statements represent the accounts of the Heat Transfer
         Division of Ketema, Inc. (the Division). On December 12, 1994, the
         shareholders of Ketema, Inc. (Ketema) approved and adopted an Agreement
         of Plan of Merger dated June 21, 1994 (the Merger Agreement) with KTM
         Holdings Corp. (KTM) and KTM Acquisition Corp (Acquisition Corp.), a
         wholly-owned subsidiary of KTM. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
         Acquisition Corp. was merged with and into Ketema effective December
         13, 1994. At that time, Ketema became a wholly-owned subsidiary of KTM.
         Prior to December 13, 1994, KTM was essentially an inactive
         corporation.

         As a result of the merger, which was accounted for as a purchase in
         accordance with Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 16, Business
         Combinations, certain purchase accounting adjustments were made to
         allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed
         liabilities. Such adjustments have been allocated to the Division and
         are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as of February 29,
         1996 and February 28, 1995.

         The statement of operations and of cash flows of the Division for the
         period ended December 13, 1994 represents the historical results of the
         Division.

2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Nature of operations
         --------------------

         The Division generates revenue principally from the design, engineering
         and manufacture of a broad range of heat transfer products. Sales of
         these services and products are primarily to domestic companies.

         Inventory
         ---------

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being
         determined by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method, and market on the
         basis of the lower of replacement cost or estimated net proceeds from
         sales.

         Property, plant and equipment
         -----------------------------

         Expenditures for additions to plant facilities, or which extend the
         useful life of the properties, are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs
         are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of plant and
         equipment is determined principally on a straight-line basis over the
         estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from four to twenty-five
         years.

<PAGE>   10



         Intra-Company account
         ---------------------

         The Intra-Company account represents KTM's net investment in the
         Division. All transactions between the Division and KTM (or Ketema) are
         reflected through this account. At the end of a reporting period the
         net income or loss of the Division is closed out to this account.

         Income taxes
         ------------

         The taxable income of the Division is included in the consolidated
         income tax return filed by Ketema, Inc. The portion of the consolidated
         income provision allocated to the Division is that which would result
         if the Division had filed a separate income tax return.

         The Division provides for deferred income taxes under the asset and
         liability approach. This method requires the recognition of deferred
         tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of
         temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax basis of
         assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes have been determined by
         applying current tax rates to temporary differences between the amount
         of assets and liabilities determined for income tax and financial
         reporting purposes.

         Fair value of financial instruments
         -----------------------------------

         SFAS No. 107, Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,
         requires that companies disclose the estimated "fair value" of their
         financial instruments. "Fair value" is generally defined as the price a
         willing buyer and a willing seller would exchange for a financial
         instrument in the normal course of business.

         Financial instruments primarily consist of trade receivables and
         payables, which are expected to be realized or paid in the normal
         course of business operations and their net carrying amounts
         approximate fair value.

         Advertising
         -----------

         The Division expenses the cost of advertising in the year in which the
         advertising first takes place. Total advertising expenses for the
         periods ending February 29, 1996, February 28, 1995 and December 13,
         1994 was approximately $76,000, $43,000 and $142,000, respectively.

         Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
         -----------------------------------------------------------

         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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting period.

<PAGE>   11



         The major areas in which the Division utilizes estimates include
         deferred tax assets and reserves for warranties and inventory
         obsolescence. The amounts contained within these financial statements
         represent management's best estimate of expected outcomes based on
         available information. However, the Division realizes that certain
         events could occur or fail to occur which would impact the estimates by
         an immaterial amount in the future.

6.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         Transactions with KTM and Ketema
         --------------------------------

         KTM funds daily operations and collects daily cash receipts from the
         Division. KTM (or Ketema) also incurs certain general and
         administrative costs as well as interest expense on behalf of the
         Division. These expenses have been allocated to the Division, primarily
         on the ratio of the Division's capital employed as compared to total
         capital for KTM. Management believes this allocation method is
         reasonable. The amounts allocated are as follows:

         manufacture certain products for affiliated divisions of Ketema. During
         the periods ended February 29, 1996, February 28, 1995 and December 13,
         1994, the total revenue generated from these sales approximated
         $2,300,000, $63,000 and $105,000, respectively.

8.       SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

         During fiscal 1996 and the period ended February 28, 1995, one
         unaffiliated customer accounted for 13% and 15%, respectively, of the
         Division's total revenues. Additionally, the Division had sales to an
         affiliate during fiscal 1996 which accounted for 11% of the Division's
         total revenues.

9.       LEASES

         The Division leases certain office equipment and automobiles through
         operating leases. Certain of these leases provide for the payment of
         taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Net future minimum lease
         commitments do not have a material impact on the Division's financial
         statements. Total rental expense for the periods ended February 29,
         1996, February 28, 1995 and December 13, 1994 approximated $100,000,
         $11,000 and $63,000, respectively.

10.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         During fiscal 1996, the Division eliminated certain positions in an
         effort to reduce the cost of operations. The total cost of severance
         pay and benefits related to these positions approximated $165,000 and
         has been included in the accompanying statement of operations for the
         period then ended.

         As of February 28, 1996, approximately $50,000 of these costs are
         accrued in the balance sheet.

11.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         During the period ended December 13, 1994, the Division settled a
         wrongful termination lawsuit for $600,000 (including legal costs), of
         which $170,000 was recovered from insurance proceeds. At February 28,
         1994 the Division had accrued approximately $192,000 of costs
         associated with this suit. Accordingly, the remaining $238,000 was
         expensed in the period ended December 13, 1994. Also, the Division
         negotiated a severance agreement with a former general manager of the
         Division for $160,000. These costs have been reflected in the
         accompanying statement of operations.

         Management of the Division is not aware of any other significant legal
         proceedings against it at this time.

12.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         Effective April 1, 1996, KTM agreed to sell certain of the assets and
         liabilities of the Division to American Precision Industries, Inc. (an
         unrelated company) for approximately $12,000,000.

         The following unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to
the acquisition by API Ketema Inc., a newly created, wholly-owned subsidiary of
American Precision Industries Inc. ("API") of certain assets and assumption of
certain liabilities of the Heat Transfer Division ("HTD") of Ketema, Inc. in a
transaction accounted for as a purchase. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet
is based on the individual balance sheets of API as of December 29, 1995 and HTD
as of February 29, 1996 and has been prepared to reflect the acquisition of HTD
as of December 29, 1995. The unaudited pro forma statement of income is based on
the individual statements of income of API for the year ended December 29, 1995
