INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Gettys Corporation and Gettys Property Corporation
Racine, Wisconsin

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Gettys Corporation
and Gettys Property Corporation, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Daimler-Benz
Capital, Inc., as of December 31, 1995, and the related combined statements of
operations, stockholder's deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Companies' combined financial statements are presented on the going concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. As described in Note 6 the
Companies intend to sell all their assets and certain liabilities during 1996.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the amounts and classification of the liabilities not assumed
in the purchase that may result from the possible inability of the Companies to
continue as a going concern.


                                                                               3
<PAGE>   7

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Gettys Corporation
and Gettys Property Corporation as of December 31, 1995, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

February 7, 1996, except
for Note 6 which is as of
March 18, 1996

                                                  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
================================================================================


DESCRIPTION         Gettys Corporation and Gettys Property Corporation          
OF BUSINESS         ("Companies") design, manufacture and sell precision motion 
                    control products used by various industries. The Companies' 
                    customers are located primarily in North America, Western   
                    Europe and India. The Companies are wholly-owned           
                    subsidiaries of Daimler-Benz Capital, Inc. ("DBCI").        
                    

CASH                For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Companies 
EQUIVALENTS         consider all highly liquid debt instruments with original   
                    maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  
                    

PRINCIPLES OF       The combined financial statements include the accounts of 
COMBINATION         Gettys Corporation and Gettys Property Corporation. All   
                    material intercompany accounts and transactions are       
                    eliminated.                                               
                    

INVENTORIES         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost
                    is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. 
                    

PROPERTY AND        Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
EQUIPMENT           calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated 
                    useful lives of the assets.                               
                    

INTANGIBLE          Intangible assets include software, demo equipment and      
ASSETS              patents. The software and demo equipment are amortized over 
                    five years while the patents are amortized over their       
                    respective lives.                                           
                    

ACCOUNTING          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with  
ESTIMATES           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 and the reported amounts of revenues

================================================================================

INCOME TAXES        For federal income tax purposes, the Companies file their   
                    income tax returns as part of the consolidated Daimler-Benz 
                    North America group of which DBCI is an affiliate. In       
                    accordance with the tax allocation agreement, each          
                    subsidiary records its current federal income tax provision 
                    as if it filed on a separate return basis. The Companies    
                    account for income taxes under the liability method         
                    specified by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
                    109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The Companies file      
                    separate state income tax returns and the resultant net     
                    operating losses can be used to offset future state taxable 
                    income. These carryforwards aggregate approximately         
                    $14,500,000 and expire at various dates through 2010. No    
                    deferred tax asset is recorded for these state net operating
                    losses as future benefit is uncertain and a valuation       
                    allowance would be recorded at 100%.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Gettys Corporation and Gettys Property Corporation
Racine, Wisconsin

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Gettys Corporation
and Gettys Property Corporation (together, the Companies), wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Daimler-Benz Capital, Inc., as of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the related combined statements of operations and stockholder's deficit,
and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companies' 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 report dated January 20, 1995, we expressed an opinion that the 1994 and
1993 financial statements did not fairly present the financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles because of a departure from such principles: the
Companies did not reduce the unamortized cost of intangible assets and the
carrying amount of other assets which had been permanently impaired.  As
described in Note 10, the Companies have changed their method of accounting for
these items and restated their 1994 and 1993 financial statements to conform
with generally accepted accounting principles.  Accordingly, our present
opinion on the 1994 and 1993 financial statements, as presented herein, is
different from that expressed in our previous report.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Gettys Corporation
and Gettys Property Corporation as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

DESCRIPTION                  Gettys Corporation and Gettys Property Corporation ("Companies") design,
OF BUSINESS                  manufacture and market precision motion control products.  The Companies are
                             wholly-owned subsidiaries of Daimler-Benz Capital, Inc. ("DBCI").


CASH                         For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Companies consider all highly
EQUIVALENTS                  liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be
                             cash equivalents.


PRINCIPLES OF                The combined financial statements include the accounts of Gettys Corporation and
COMBINATION                  Gettys Property Corporation.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions
                             are eliminated.


INVENTORIES                  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined using
                             the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.


PROPERTY AND                 Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is calculated on the
EQUIPMENT                    straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.


INTANGIBLE                   Intangible assets include software, demo equipment and patents.  The software and
ASSETS                       demo equipment are amortized over five years while the patents are amortized over
                             their respective lives.


INCOME TAXES                 For federal income tax purposes, the Companies file their income tax returns as
                             part of the consolidated Daimler-Benz North America group of which DBCI is an
                             affiliate.  In accordance with the tax allocation agreement, each subsidiary
                             records its current federal income tax provision as if it filed on a separate
                             return basis.  The Companies adopted

INCOME TAXES                 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,
(CONTINUED)                  as of December 31, 1993.  The adoption of the Statement had no effect on the com-
                             bined financial statements as the parent company absorbs and accounts for all tax
                             benefits and disbenefits that arise on a consolidated basis.  The Companies file
                             separate state income tax returns and the resultant net taxable losses can be
                             used to offset future state taxable income.  These carryforwards aggregate
                             approximately $1,500,000 which expires in 2009.  No deferred tax asset is
                             recorded for these state net operating losses as future benefit is uncertain and
                             a valuation allowance would be recorded at 100%.


RECLASSIFICATIONS            Certain 1993 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.

7. Management                The Company has entered into a Management Agreement with American Precision
   Agreement                 Industries, Inc. (API).  Under the Agreement, API will manage the Companies from
                             January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1996 for a management fee.  During the
                             management period, API will loan the Companies up to $2,000,000 for capital
                             expenditures and for working capital purposes.  In addition, the Companies will
                             not be required to repay the $16,500,000 due to related party.  The Companies
                             have an irrevocable option to sell and API has an irrevocable option to acquire
                             certain assets and assume certain liabilities of the Companies at net book value
                             at specified dates during the management period.  The net book value of assets to
                             be sold, as defined in the management agreement, was reduced through the estab-
                             lishment of a valuation allowance to $5,583,000 at December 31, 1994 to
                             properly reflect net realizable value.  The purchase price may change based on
                             operations of the Companies during the management period.  The Management
                             Agreement will expire upon execution of either option.

8. REORGANIZATION            On December 20, 1993, Gettys Corporation changed its name to Gettys II
                             Corporation ("Old Gettys").  Two new corporations were formed, Gettys Corporation
                             ("New Gettys") and Gettys Property Corporation.

                             On December 31, 1993, Old Gettys purchased 100 shares of New Gettys' common stock
                             and 100 shares of New Gettys' preferred stock.  In consideration, Old Gettys
                             transferred to New Gettys all of its assets and liabilities other than those
                             listed below.

                             On December 31, 1993, Old Gettys also purchased 100 shares of Gettys Property
                             Corporation's common stock and 100 shares of Gettys Property Corporation's
                             preferred stock.  In consideration, Old Gettys transferred to Gettys Property
                             Corporation its real property, including improvements, and the related
                             liabilities.

                             The holders of preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends of 6% per annum,
                             when declared.  The dividends are non-cumulative.  The preferred stock has a
                             preferred liquidation value of $1,000 per share.

                             The accumulated deficit was eliminated to the extent of additional paid-in
                             capital.

                             Old Gettys was then merged into Daimler-Benz Capital, Inc. ("DBCI"), with DBCI
                             being the surviving corporation.  DBCI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daimler-
                             Benz North America Corporation.

                             until the related patents expire.

                             The Companies have various operating leases for office, computer and
                             communication equipment.  The following are the future minimum rental payments

11.  PERMANENT               At December 31, 1993 substantial doubt existed about the realization of future
     IMPAIRMENT              benefit from the unamortized portion of goodwill and the premium paid on
                             acquistion of machinery and equipment due to the declining financial position of
                             the Companies.  Accordingly, the remaining goodwill and the premium paid on
                             acquisition of machinery and equipment was fully amortized resulting in a charge
                             of $8,101,325 and $1,693,824, respectively, to 1993 operations.

        On April 1, 1996, API Ketema Inc., a newly created, wholly-owned
subsidiary of American Precision Industries Inc. ("API") acquired certain
assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Heat Transfer Division ("HTD") of
Ketema, Inc. in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. The effect of this
transaction was previously reported on Form 8-K/A dated June 12, 1996.

        On April 19, 1996, API Gettys Inc., a newly created, wholly-owned
subsidiary of API acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of
Gettys Corporation and Gettys Property Corporation ("Gettys"), wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Daimler-Benz Capital, Inc. in a transaction accounted for as a
purchase.

        The following unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to
these acquisitions. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet is based on the
individual balance sheets of API as of December 29, 1995, HTD as of February
29, 1996, and Gettys as of December 31, 1995 and has been prepared to reflect
these acquisitions as of December 29, 1995. The unaudited pro forma statement
of income is based on the individual statements of income for API for the year
ended December 29, 1995, HTD for the year ended February 29, 1996, and Gettys
for the year ended December 31, 1995 as if these acquisitions had occurred at
the beginning of that period.

        For a period of fifteen months, the Registrant operated Gettys on a
day-to-day basis under the Management Agreement dated December 23, 1994. During
this period, the Registrant initiated various changes, including but not
limited to workforce reductions, personnel changes, restructuring of
manufacturing facilities, and development of new products. The impact of these
changes have not yet fully achieved and therefore the operating results of
Gettys reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of income
are not indicative of the results management of the Registrant expects to be
achieved by API Gettys Inc. following the acquisition.
