INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
Communication Cable, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Communication Cable, Inc.
as of October 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related statements of earnings,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended October 31, 1995. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Communication Cable, Inc. as
of October 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended October 31, 1995,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1(f) to the financial statements, the Company adopted the
provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as of November 1,
1993.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993

(1) NATURE OF BUSINESS

Communication Cable, Inc. (the "Company") engineers, designs and
manufactures specialty electronic cables to customer specifications
for use in computers, data processing, telecommunications, medical
electronic and the industrial electronic industries.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A) BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial
statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the
date of the balance sheets and income and expenses for the periods
presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

(B) REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company records sales revenue when goods are shipped to customers.

(C) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful receivables equal to
the estimated collection losses to be incurred. The estimated losses
are based on actual collection experience and management's opinion of the
current status of existing receivables. The Company's customers are widely
dispersed throughout the United States.

(D) INVENTORIES

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

(E) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

(F) INCOME TAXES

In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Statement 109 requires a change from the deferred method of accounting for
income taxes of APB Opinion No. 11 to the asset and liability method of
accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of
Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years
in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date.

The Company adopted Statement 109 as of November 1, 1993. The cumulative
effect of this change in accounting for income taxes of $154,157 is
determined as of November 1, 1993, and is reported separately in the
statement of earnings for the year ended October 31, 1994. Prior years'
financial statements have not been restated.

(G) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares
and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period (2,632,359,
2,657,112 and 2,647,286 shares for the years ended October 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively). Common equivalent shares, which consist of stock
options, have been included in the weighted average number of shares
considered outstanding (when the effect of doing so is dilutive) based on
the treasury stock method.  All share and per share data have been restated
to reflect a 3% stock dividend distributed April 30, 1995, a 8% stock dividend
distributed April 30, 1994, and a 7% stock dividend distributed April 30, 1993.

(H) STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
short-term investments with a maturity, at date of purchase, of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.

(I) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company has a profit sharing and tax-qualified savings plan which was
established pursuant to Section 401(K) of the Internal Revenue Code. It is the
Company's policy to recognize plan costs as they accrue. Costs associated with
the plan were immaterial for the years ended October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

There have been no valuation allowances recorded for the years ended October
31, 1995 and 1994, because the tax benefits of deductible temporary differences
can be realized by offsetting the tax effects of taxable temporary differences
for which a deferred tax liability has been recognized.

Deferred income tax expense in 1993 primarily related to tax depreciation in
excess of book depreciation.

The actual income tax expense for the years ended October 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993 differs from the "expected" amount (computed by applying the statutory
federal income tax rate of 34% to the earnings before income taxes and
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle) as follows:

                        NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                   CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  On February 16, 1996, Kuhlman Corporation (the "Company"), through a
    wholly-owned subsidiary, completed a tender offer for the outstanding
    shares of Communication Cable, Inc. ("CCI"), a North Carolina
    corporation traded on NASDAQ, for $14.00 per share in cash.  CCI
    engineers, designs and manufactures a wide variety of low voltage
    electronic wire and cable products.  Through the tender offer, 
    previously owned shares of CCI, and a redemption process conducted by
    CCI pursuant to the North Carolina Control Share Acquisition Act, the
    Company owned approximately 92% of all CCI shares outstanding as of
    March 31, 1996, for an aggregate total cost of approximately $40,404,000.
    The Company plans to purchase the remaining CCI shares outstanding as
    soon as practicable.  The acquisition of CCI will be accounted for as a
    purchase.  The acquisition of CCI shares was funded primarily through
    a $40,000,000 increase in the Company's bank credit facility.  

2.  The Company operates and reports on a December 31 calendar year basis.
    CCI operated and reported on an October 31 fiscal year basis.  The
    unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the
    balance sheet of Kuhlman as of December 31, 1995 with the balance
    sheet of CCI as of October 31, 1995.  The unaudited pro forma condensed
    combined statement of income combines the statement of income of Kuhlman
    for the calendar year ended December 31, 1995 with the statement of
    earnings of CCI for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995.

3.  The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of
    December 31, 1995 has been prepared as if the acquisition of all of
    the outstanding shares of CCI had been effective on December 31, 1995.
    The unaudited pro forma combined statement of income for the year ended
    December 31, 1995 has been prepared as if the acquisition of all of the
    outstanding shares of CCI had been effective January 1, 1995.  In the
    opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly
    such pro forma financial statements have been made.  The pro forma
    financial statements are for information purposes only and are not
    necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of
    operations that would have occurred if the acquisition had been
    consummated as of January 1, 1995.

4.  Explanation of Pro Forma Adjustments

      (a)  A decrease in cash to reflect its use to reduce acquisition debt,
           offset by cash proceeds of $6,075,000 received from the exercise
           of CCI stock options prior to the acquisition.             

      (b)  A decrease in inventory to reflect its fair market value to the
           Company at the date of acquisition.  The reduction in value is
           attributable to the writedown of inventories associated with the
           exit of certain product lines and the Company's strategy with
           respect to the management of its working capital resources.

      (c)  An increase in the deferred income tax asset to reflect the tax
           effect of purchase accounting adjustments.

      (d)  An increase in plant and equipment, net to reflect its fair
           market value at the date of acquisition.

                                    F-14

<PAGE>

      (e)  An increase to record the excess of purchase price over the
           fair market value of the net assets acquired at the date of
           acquisition.

      (f)  An increase in accrued liabilities to record costs associated
           with the exit of certain product lines, severance costs and
           other transaction-related expenses associated with the acquired
           business.

      (g)  An increase in debt to reflect the cost of the acquisition,
           including all of the outstanding shares of CCI and estimated
           transaction costs, totaling approximately $47,154,000, offset
           by cash proceeds of approximately $6,075,000 from the exercise
           of CCI stock options prior to the acquisition and the use of
           excess cash of $5,300,000 to reduce the acquisition debt.

      (h)  An increase in the long-term deferred tax liability to reflect
           the tax effect of the purchase accounting adjustments to plant
           and equipment.

      (i)  To record Kuhlman's purchase of all of CCI's outstanding common
           shares, offset by the increase in equity resulting from the
           aforementioned exercise of CCI stock options.

      (j)  A decrease in sales and cost of sales to eliminate intercompany
           sales between Kuhlman and CCI.

      (k)  A decrease in general and administrative expenses of $700,000 to
           eliminate non-recurring and redundant costs, partially offset by
           $560,000 of intangible amortization resulting from the acquisition.

      (l)  An increase in interest expense to reflect the carrying cost of
           the acquisition debt at Kuhlman's average borrowing rate.

      (m)  A decrease in taxes on income to reflect the pro forma tax impact
           of the CCI acquisition.
