ITEM 1.     CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.

      (a)

                  On May 23, 1997, the shareholders of CYBEX International, Inc.
      (the "Registrant" or the "Company") voted in favor of a proposal to adopt
      an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 27, 1996, as amended
      (the "Merger Agreement"), among the Company, Trotter Inc., a Delaware
      corporation ("Trotter"), and CAT'S TAIL, INC., a Delaware corporation and
      wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"). A copy of the
      Merger Agreement was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange
      Commission as Annex A to the Registrant's definitive Proxy Statement,
      dated April 23, 1997, in connection with the Annual Meeting of
      Shareholders (the "Proxy Statement"), and is incorporated herein by
      reference.

                  On May 23, 1997, following the shareholder vote and pursuant
      to the Merger Agreement, Trotter filed a Certificate of Merger with the
      Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, whereupon Merger Sub merged
      with and into Trotter (the "Merger") and Trotter (as the surviving
      corporation in the Merger) became a wholly owned subsidiary of the
      Company.

                  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and in consideration of the
      Merger, the Company (i) issued 4,273,056 shares of the Company's common
      shares, $.10 par value ("Company Common Stock"), to UM Equity Corp. ("UM
      Equity"), the sole holder of the common stock, $.01 par value, of Trotter
      ("Trotter Common Stock") and (ii) assumed each outstanding option to
      purchase shares of Trotter Common Stock under Trotter's stock option
      plans. See the information which is set forth under the caption "The
      Merger Agreement" in the Proxy Statement.

                  Immediately following the Merger (and a charitable gift by UM
      Equity of 100,000 shares of Company Common Stock), John Aglialoro and Joan
      Carter, who are married, may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of
      48.3% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, through their
      100% ownership of UM Holdings, Ltd. ("UM Holdings"), which is the sole
      stockholder of UM Equity. The only other person known to the Company to be
      the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Company
      Common Stock immediately following the Merger owns approximately 6.1% the
      outstanding shares of Company Common Stock.

                  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and immediately following the
      Merger, the size of the Board of Directors of the Company was set at nine
      persons, four of whom were designated by the Company and five of whom were
      designated by Trotter. Four directors of the Company prior to the Merger
      continued to be directors following the Merger. In addition, Peter C.
      Haines, formerly the President and Chief Executive Officer of Trotter, was
      appointed the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. See
      the information which is set forth under the caption "The Merger - Board
      of Directors and Management of the Company After the Merger" in the Proxy
      Statement.

                  Prior to the Merger, neither Trotter nor any of its
      subsidiaries, affiliates, directors or executive officers owned any shares
      of Company Common Stock or had any material relationship with the Company
      or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of the Company, or any
      associate of any such director or officer.

      (b)

                  All of the shares of Company Common Stock owned by UM Equity
      have been pledged by it to Summit Bank (the "Bank") as collateral security
      for loans made by the Bank to Trotter pursuant a Loan and Security
      Agreement.


ITEM 2.     ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

      (a)

                  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and
      into Trotter and Trotter (as the surviving corporation in the Merger)
      became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The information set forth
      in Item 1 above is incorporated herein by reference.

      (b)

                  Assets held by Trotter and used for its business purposes will
      continue to be used in the same manner as used prior to the consummation
      of the Merger. These assets are used in the design, manufacture and
      distribution of professional quality, premium priced fitness equipment for
      the home and commercial markets.




                                        3

ITEM 5.     OTHER EVENTS.

                  Following the Merger, the Company changed its
      address of its principal executive offices to 10 Trotter
      Drive, Medway, Massachusetts  02053.  The Company's new
      telephone number is (508) 533-4300.

            AND EXHIBITS.

      (a)   Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

      statements of the Company giving effect to the Merger for the year ended
