               THE MONARCH MACHINE TOOL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               For the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995


        The foregoing consolidated results of operations are unaudited, but in
the opinion of the company all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals as well as the accounting changes) necessary to present fairly the
results for these periods have been included.



NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE:

        Net income per common share, is based upon the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding and common share equivalents, after giving effect
to the preferred share dividend requirement.



        These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual
report and any current year's previously filed Forms 10-Q.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               For the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        New order bookings for the entire corporation throughout the first three
months of 1996 were up approximately 32% relative to the level experienced
during the same period last year. The strong improvement in the new order rate,
year-to-date, has been experienced at most of our operations and has not been
concentrated in any particular business segment. The accelerated order rate year
over year was also affected, in the amount of $3.0 million, by the purchase of
Monarch Busch GmbH in May of last year. The resulting level of backlogs at the
end of the first quarter of 1996 was $69.8 million as compared to $59.6 million
at 12/31/95 and $53.7 million at 3/31/95.

        Net sales for the first three months of 1996 were $24.3 million as
compared to $22.2 million for the same period in 1995, but well below those of
the prior two quarters. The reduction in net sales relative to recent quarters
was due to the slow rate of new order bookings at our domestic machining center
division and low beginning backlogs at our foreign strip processing and paper
converting subsidiaries.

        Operations during the first three months of 1996 produced a net loss of
$971,000 or $.26 per share as compared to a net loss of $505,000 or $.13 per
share during the same period in 1995.  The increase in the net loss year over
year was due to poor margins on several new product introductions at our
domestic strip processing division as well depressed margins at our turning
division due to the shipment of a very disadvantageous mix of products during
the quarter. Procedures have been developed to prevent a reoccurrence of the
cost over-runs experienced at the strip processing operation. An increase in
orders for non-commodity type machines at our turning division will help lift
margins in the immediate future. Rising new order and backlog levels will begin
to increase net shipments, which allows the Company's operations to operate
nearer capacity, thereby covering fixed costs to a much greater degree than was
possible in the first quarter of this year.

        Earnings are also hampered by the generally increasing cost of purchased
items that we have only had limited success in passing along to the customer due
to severe price competition from both domestic and foreign builders of similar
products. The Company, however, continues to implement a company-wide effort to
control costs particularly with respect to the largest and fastest growing areas
of costs such as health care, travel and product liability insurance.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               For the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Our efforts at cost containment are evidenced by the fact that selling and
general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of sales were
13.4% during the first three months of this year as compared to 14.1% during
the same period last year.  Although this ratio is highly dependent upon sales
volume because of the fixed nature of many of these costs, the Company will
continue to focus on controlling these costs where possible as we have in the
past. Cost of sales expressed as a percentage of sales went up to 92.6% during
the first of 1996 as compared to 89.4% during the same period last year. The
lower margins incurred in past quarters were due to the factors noted above
particularly the excess-capacity situation at some of our operations. Due to
the high engineering content of our products it is not practical or desirable
to radically adjust these costs to cyclical changes in the marketplace for our
equipment.

Earnings continue to be strongest at our strip processing operations due to
reasonable plant capacity utilization, and remain poorest at our turning
operation because of considerable excess capacity.

As reported in the 1995 Annual Shareholder's Report, the investment banking
firm of Lehman Brothers Inc. has been hired to for the purpose of assisting the
Company in maximizing shareholder value. Management and Lehman Brothers have
been working together over the past few months towards achieving this end.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company maintained a strong financial position throughout the past year and
has current assets of $2.38 for each dollar of current liabilities at 3/31/96
as compared to $2.12 at 3/31/95.

The Company presently has long-term debt of $16 million. The Company has
unsecured lines of credit aggregating $37 million, including a $20 million
committed three year revolving loan with a three year term-out option.
Short-term borrowings against these facilities at 3/31/96 were $6.4 million
compared to $7.0 million one year ago. Management completed the renewal of
these agreements, during the second quarter of 1995, including the expansion of
the existing unsecured $13 million committed line to $ 20 million under
essentially the same terms as were present in the existing facility.
