Report of Independent Accountants



To the Board of Directors of 
Scotsman Industries, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Kysor
Transportation Products Group (a former segment of Kysor
Industrial Corporation, as described in basis of presentation,
Note 1) as of December 31, 1996 and the related combined
statements of income and cash flows for the year then ended. 
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 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 from 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.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial
position of Kysor Transportation Products Group as of December
31, 1996 and the combined results of their operations and their
cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 13, Kysor Industrial Corporation's common
and preferred stock were acquired in March 1997 in a purchase
transaction for an aggregate price of approximately $309
million.  Concurrent with this transaction, Kysor Transportation
Products Group was sold by the acquirer to a third party for an
aggregate price of approximately $86 million plus the assumption
of certain liabilities.

Kysor Transportation Products Group
Notes to Combined Financial Statements

1.     Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying combined financial statements include Kysor
Industrial Corporation's Transportation Products Group ("TPG"),
a segment of Kysor Industrial Corporation ("Kysor").  TPG
includes certain Kysor Industrial Corporation subsidiaries and
divisions whose operations consist of the design, manufacture
and sale of engine-performance systems, engine-protection
systems and components and accessories for heavy-duty trucks,
other commercial vehicles and marine equipment.  The principal
markets for TPG's products include the United States, Europe and
the Pacific Rim and customers include original equipment
manufacturers and related suppliers.  During the year ended
December 31, 1996, TPG had sales to a major customer aggregating
approximately $26 million.

The accompanying combined financial statements reflect the
"carved-out" financial position, results of operations and cash
flows of the TPG for the period presented.  The combined
financial statements have been prepared as if the TPG had
operated as a stand-alone entity for the period presented, and
include those assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses
directly attributable to the TPG operations, as well as certain
corporate general and administrative expenses of  Kysor which
have been allocated to TPG.

The financial information included herein does not necessarily
reflect, and it is not practicable for management to estimate
what the financial position and results of operations of the TPG
would have been had it operated as a stand-alone entity during
the period covered, and may not be indicative of future
operations or financial position.


2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

       a.  Principles of Combination:  The accompanying combined
           financial statements include the accounts and transactions of
           TPG.  All significant intra-division accounts and transactions
           have been eliminated in the preparation of the combined
           financial statements.

       b.  Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements: 
           The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
           generally accepted accounting principles requires TPG 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting
           period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

       c.  Cash and Cash Equivalents:  TPG considers all highly liquid
           investments with an original maturity of three months or less to
           be cash and equivalents.  TPG participates in a centralized cash
           management program, managed by Kysor Industrial Corporation.

       d.  Foreign Currency Translation:  The financial position and
           results of operations of TPG's foreign entities are measured
           using the local currency as the functional currency.  Assets and
           liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the balance
           sheet date exchange rate and statement of income accounts are
           translated in the average rate prevailing during the year.

           Accumulated translation adjustments, which are included as a
           component of Kysor's net investments and advances in the
           accompanying combined balance sheet, approximate a $691,000
           credit at December 31, 1996.

       e.  Inventory:  Inventories are generally stated at the lower of
           first-in, first-out ("FIFO") cost or market.  TPG has one
           subsidiary utilizing the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method of
           valuing inventory, the inventory value of which was $847,000
           lower than it would have been under FIFO at December 31, 1996.
 
       f.  Property, Plant and Equipment:  Property, plant and
           equipment, including significant betterments to existing
           facilities, are recorded at cost.  Upon retirement or disposal,
           the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
           accounts, and any gain or loss is included in income. 
           Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred.
           Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method based on
           the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from 3 to
           40 years.

       g.  Goodwill:  Goodwill, resulting from the excess of cost over
           the net assets of purchased companies, is amortized on a
           straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 20 years.

       h.  Income Taxes:  The results of TPG's U. S. operations were
           included in Kysor Industrial Corporation's consolidated U. S.
           federal and applicable state income tax returns.  Income taxes
           recorded in the accompanying financial statements are
           attributable to the income taxes that TPG would have incurred on
           a stand-alone basis calculated on a basis consistent with
           Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
           for Income Taxes."

           Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
           difference between the financial statement and tax bases of
           assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the
           years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
 
2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

       i.  Financial Instruments:  TPG has cash and equivalents,
           accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt which
           are considered financial instruments.  The fair values of these
           financial instruments, as determined through information
           obtained from banking sources and management estimates,
           approximate their carrying values.

       j.  Pension and Retirement Plans:  Annual provisions for pension
           and retirement plan costs recognize amortization of prior
           service costs over the expected service period of active
           employees.  Accrued pension costs are funded annually to the
           extent deductible for federal income tax purposes.

           Post-retirement health and life insurance benefits are
           accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial
           Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers Accounting for
           Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."

       k.  Environmental Costs:  Environmental expenditures that relate
           to an existing condition caused by past operations, and do not
           contribute to current or future revenues, are expensed as
           incurred.  Liabilities are recorded when environmental
           assessments and/or clean-ups are probable and the costs can be
           reasonably estimated.

       l.  Recent Professional Accounting Standards:  TPG adopted the
           provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
           ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
           Assets and Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of" effective
           January 1, 1996.  This adoption did not have a material impact
           on the financial position or the results of operations of TPG.

3.     Inventory:

Components of inventory are as follows at December 31, 1996:

Interest paid on total debt was approximately $100,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1996.

Interest expense in the accompanying combined statement of
income includes an allocation for interest on corporate debt
that was attributable to the operating segments of Kysor.  The
interest was allocated based on the ratio of net assets of TPG
to the sum of total net assets of Kysor plus Kysor's'
consolidated debt.

7.     Pension and Retirement Plans:

TPG has several noncontributory defined benefit pension plans
and defined contribution plans covering substantially all of its
domestic employees.  The defined benefit plans provide benefits
based on the participant's years of service and compensation or
stated amounts for each years' service.  TPG's funding policy is
to make annual contributions as required by contract or
applicable regulations.

At December 31, 1996, 100 percent of plan assets was invested in
publicly traded stocks, bonds and money market investments.

TPG provides certain defined health care and life insurance
benefits for retired employees.  All salaried and certain hourly
employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach
retirement age while working for TPG.  Retiree benefit payments
under these plans were $594,000 in 1996.

The components of periodic expenses for the post-retirement
benefits were as follows at December 31, 1996:

</TABLE>

Assumptions used to determine the net periodic post-retirement
benefit cost were as follows:

<TABLE>

     <S>                                            <C>
     Discount rate                                  7.5%                  
     Present health care trend rate (decreasing
       uniformly to the year 2005):                                          
          Under age 65                              8.4% 
          Age 65 and older                          7.1% 
     Ultimate trend rate in 2005                    5.0% 

</TABLE>

A one percent increase each year in the health care cost trend
rate used would have resulted in a 10.6 percent increase in the
aggregate service and interest components of expense for the
year ended December 31, 1996, and a 8.2 percent increase in the
accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation at December 31,
1996.

8.   Lease Commitments:

TPG leases certain real estate and equipment.  In most cases,
management expects that in the normal course of business these
leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases.  TPG has
future minimum rental payments required through 2001 under
operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable
lease terms in excess of one year in the following amounts, for
the years ended December 31 (in thousands):

       1997                          $  255 

       1998                             523 

       1999                             493 

       2000                             478 

       2001                             475

Earnings of foreign subsidiaries generally become taxable upon
the remittance of dividends and under certain other
circumstances.  Provision has not been made for U. S. or
additional foreign taxes as these amounts are expected to be
immaterial.

10.   Contingent Liabilities:

As previously reported, TPG has been involved in ongoing
proceedings relating to environmental contamination at the
Cadillac Industrial Park in Cadillac, Michigan (the "Site").  A
U. S. Environmental Protection Administration administrative
order was issued in 1995 to Kysor Industrial Corporation and
other potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") requiring soil
and groundwater remediation at the Site.  It is intended that
the remediation will be conducted through a joint effort
involving other PRPs and a local development finance authority
established by the City of Cadillac ("LDFA"), which has sold
approximately $7 million of nonrecourse bonds to pay the
anticipated capital costs of constructing an area-wide
environmental clean-up facility.  TPG believes that the bond
proceeds received by the LDFA will be adequate to cover the
capital costs of the area-wide clean-up facility.  If the
proceeds are insufficient to pay the required capital costs, TPG
and the other PRPs would be responsible for the additional costs
pursuant to the pending administrative order.  It is anticipated
that operating and maintenance costs of the clean-up facility
will be shared primarily by the PRPs, including TPG, as well as
other parties within the Cadillac Industrial Park pursuant to a
special assessment district proposed by the City of Cadillac. 
The extent of any assessment to TPG cannot be determined at the
present time.  TPG has reserved its right to seek mixed funding
for certain costs related to the clean-up, and will continue to
pursue insurance coverage for any costs it may incur at the
Site.  There has been no determination as to the availability or
extent of such funding or insurance coverage.

Other contingent liabilities include various legal actions,
proceedings and claims which are pending or which may be
instituted or asserted in the future against TPG.  For example,
in 1994, Kysor Industrial Corporation settled a lawsuit filed by
the State of Michigan seeking to recover past response costs,
penalties and natural resource damages concerning the Site
described above.  That settlement did not affect the State's
right to pursue additional claims for natural resource damages
if certain additional contamination is discovered.  To TPG's
knowledge, at this juncture no such additional contamination has
been detected.

Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, the outcome of
individual matters is not predictable with assurance and it is
reasonably possible that some of these other legal actions,
proceedings and claims could be decided unfavorably to TPG. 
Although the liability with regard to these matters at December
31, 1996 cannot be ascertained, it is the opinion of management,
after conferring with counsel, that any liability resulting from
these other matters should not materially affect the
consolidated financial position, results of operations or
liquidity of TPG at December 31, 1996.

11.   Selling and Administrative Expense Allocations:

The accompanying combined statement of income includes
recognition of expenses for direct expenses specifically
attributable to TPG incurred on its behalf by Kysor for employee
benefit programs, insurance and certain legal matters.

In addition, the accompanying combined statement of income
includes an allocation of indirect corporate expenses incurred
by Kysor relating to officer and corporate administration
salaries and benefits, occupancy expense for corporate
headquarters and other indirect corporate expenses.  Because
specific indication of such expense was not practicable, a
proportionate cost allocation was utilized to allocate these
expenses to TPG based on its total revenue to Kysor's
consolidated total revenue.  These allocated costs aggregated
approximately $2,742,000 for 1996.

In the opinion of management, these allocations of expenses were
made on a reasonable basis.  However, they are not necessarily
indicative of the level of expenses which may have been
experienced on a separate company basis.  The amounts that would
have been incurred on a separate company basis could differ
significantly from the allocated amounts due to economies of
scale, differences in management and operational practices or
other factors.

12.    Kysor Industrial Corporation Net Investment and Advances:

The following summarizes Kysor's net investment in and advances
to TPG for the year ended December 31, 1996:

13.    Subsequent Event (Unaudited):

In March 1997, the Kysor Industrial Corporation's common and
preferred stock was acquired in a purchase transaction by
Scotsman Industries, Inc. ("Scotsman") for an aggregate price of
$309 million.  Concurrent with the transaction, Scotsman sold
TPG (which was formerly reported as a segment of Kysor) to a
third party for an aggregate price of $86 million plus the
assumption of certain liabilities.  The accompanying combined
financial statements do not reflect the purchase accounting
adjustments required upon the consummation of the transaction.

                KUHLMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              AND KYSOR TRANSPORTATION PRODUCTS GROUP
                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
              CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   On March 10, 1997, Kuhlman Corporation (the "Company") purchased certain 
     assets of the Transportation Products Group ("Kysor") of Kysor Industrial 
     Corporation, a Michigan corporation traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
     The purchase price for Kysor was $86,000,000 in cash plus the assumption
     of approximately $46,000,000 of certain liabilities.  The acquisition of
     Kysor will be accounted for as a purchase and was financed from 
     borrowings under the Company's existing credit facilities. 

2.   The Company and Kysor operate and report on a calendar year basis.  The 
     unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements present the
     financial position and results of operations of the combined businesses 
     as of and for the year ended December 31, 1996.  The unaudited pro forma
     combined condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with
     the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the 
     three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 included in the Company's
     annual report on Form 10-K for 1996 and Kysor's audited financial
     statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1996 included in
     this current report on Form 8-K/A.

3.   The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as 
     of December 31, 1996 has been prepared as if the acquisition of Kysor 
     had been effective on December 31, 1996.  The unaudited pro forma 
     combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1996 has 
     been prepared as if the acquisition of Kysor had been effective 
     January 1, 1996.  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, 1996.

4.   Explanation of Pro Forma Adjustments

     (a)   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 with minimal demand and limited 
           future prospects and the Company's policy and strategy with respect 
           to the management of its working capital resources.

     (b)   A decrease in other current assets to reflect deferred tax assets 
           that remained with the seller and the write down of deferred 
           tooling expenditures consistent with Company policy to expense 
           such activity.

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

     (d)   An increase to record the excess of purchase price over the fair 
           market value of the net assets as if the acquisition had been 
           consummated on December 31, 1996.

     (e)   An increase in long-term assets to reflect the fair market value of
           the prepaid pension assets using actuarial assumptions consistent 
           with similar Company defined benefit plans, net of the
           reduction for long-term deferred tax assets not purchased by the 
           Company.

     (f)   An increase in debt to reflect the cost of the acquisition.  
           Borrowings were made under the Company's 364-day credit facility 
           which is payable in sixteen quarterly installments beginning on 
           October 1, 1997

     (g)   An increase in accrued liabilities to record costs associated with
           the exit of certain product lines, severance and transaction-related
           expenses.  Also, additional accruals were established for certain
           environmental, product and warranty liabilities consistent with 
           Company policy for the establishment for such reserves, subject to 
           adjustment should new facts become available about Kysor.  Kysor is
           involved in certain proceedings with respect to environmental 
           matters including sites where Kysor had been identified as a 
           potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental 
           laws and regulations.  While the ultimate liability under these
           matters is subject to many factors, it is not expected to have 
           a material effect on the Company.

     (h)   To record Kuhlman's purchase of the net assets of Kysor.

     (i)   An adjustment to general and administrative expenses of $6,153,000 
           primarily representing general corporate overhead and related 
           costs of Kysor Industrial Corporation that were allocated to 
           Kysor during 1996 and will not continue, partially offset by 
           $952,000 representing the net change in intangible amortization 
           expense resulting from the acquisition.

     (j)   An increase to reflect the incremental interest expense associated 
           with the carrying cost of the acquisition debt at the Company's 
           average borrowing rate for the period.

     (k)   An increase in taxes on income to reflect the pro forma tax impact 
           of the Kysor acquisition.  The increase is the result of the changes
           that would have occurred in accounting for a foreign net operating 
           loss of Kysor's European operation if the acquisition had occurred 
           on January 1, 1996.
