INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors of
Everest Electronic Equipment, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Everest Electronic Equipment,
Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 1995 and the related statements of
earnings, stockholders' equity and of 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 the 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.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Everest Electronic Equipment, Inc. as of
December 31, 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Nature of Business - Everest Electronic Equipment, Inc. (the Company)
      manufactures custom and standard electronic enclosures sold in North
      America and used primarily by the computer, telecom and datacom
      industries. Manufacturing facilities are located in California and New
      Hampshire.

      Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly-liquid
      investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash
      equivalents.

      Accounts Receivable - An allowance for bad debts has not been recorded as
      the Company has a policy of directly writing off all receivables
      considered to be uncollectible.

      Inventories - Inventories are comprised of material, direct labor and
      manufacturing overhead, and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in,
      first-out basis) or market.

      Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are stated
      at cost. With the exception of leasehold improvements, plant and
      equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets
      under accelerated methods over periods ranging from five to seven years.
      Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over
      the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.
      Depreciation is computed using the same methods for both financial
      reporting and tax purposes. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs not
      expected to extend the useful life of an asset beyond its normal useful
      life are expensed.

      Revenue Recognition - Revenues and costs of products sold are recognized
      as the related products are shipped.

      Income Taxes - The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions
      of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) for both federal and
      California state, whereby taxes are paid by the stockholders of the
      Company. The Company provides for New Hampshire income taxes as if it
      were a C corporation under the IRC (Note 7).

      Use of Estimates - The financial statements have been prepared in
      accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily
      include amounts based on estimates and assumptions by management. Actual
      results could differ from those amounts.

      Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The recorded amounts of cash and
      cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued
      liabilities at December 31, 1995 approximate fair value in accordance
      with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107,

4.    LINE OF CREDIT

      On February 2, 1995, Everest Electronic Equipment, Inc. entered into an
      agreement with Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association for
      a $3,000,000 line of credit. The agreement calls for interest on the
      outstanding balance at the Bank's reference rate (8.5% at December 31,
      1995) unless the Company elects either a fixed rate or an offshore rate
      agreed upon by both parties. The line of credit expires April 30, 1997.
      As of December 31, 1995, there were no amounts outstanding under this
      agreement.


5.    DEFERRED COMPENSATION

      On June 30, 1991, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a
      nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the Plan). The only two
      participants of the Plan are the Company's founders. Under the provisions
      of the Plan, the Company agrees to pay a total of $2,000,000 to each
      participant over the five-year period beginning July 1, 1991. The
      participants of this Plan shall be entitled to receive interest on the
      outstanding balance at a rate equal to 9.5% per annum compounded monthly
      from June 30, 1991 until the deferred compensation has been fully
      distributed to the participants under the terms of the Plan. Interest
      paid to Plan participants during the year was $93,571. The remaining
      amount outstanding under the agreement as of December 31, 1995 was
      $486,643.


6.    COMMITMENTS

      The Company leases certain office, warehouse and plant facilities under
      noncancelable operating leases with original maturities greater than one
      year. The leases contain cost of living escalation clauses and require
      the Company to pay the property taxes, insurance, maintenance and other
      fees related to the leased property. Two of these facilities are leased
      from related parties and expire in fiscal years 1996 and 1998,
      respectively. Total rent expense was approximately $1,242,000 for the
      year ended December 31, 1995, of which approximately $1,172,000 was paid
      to the related parties.

7.    INCOME TAXES

      The Company has elected by consent of its stockholders to be taxed under
      the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those
      provisions, the Company does not pay federal corporate income taxes on
      its taxable income and is not allowed a net operating loss carryover or
      carryback as a deduction. Instead, each stockholder is liable for
      individual income taxes on his respective share of the Company's taxable
      income and includes his respective share of the Company's net operating
      loss in his individual income tax return.

      California has conformed to federal tax law which allows domestic
      corporations to be taxed under provisions similar to Subchapter S of the
      Internal Revenue Code. Unlike the federal provisions, a 1.5% tax on the
      net income of the Company is still maintained for California purposes.

      New Hampshire treats federal Subchapter S corporations as if they were C
      corporations. Under New Hampshire provisions, the Company pays tax at a
      rate of 7% on the business profits apportioned to that state.

      The current year tax provision has been calculated under present tax laws
      for both federal and state reporting purposes. The provision consists of
      the following:


<TABLE>
        <S>                         <C>
        California                    $103,139
        New Hampshire                    3,766
                                      --------
        Total tax provision           $106,905
                                      ========
</TABLE>

8.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      Effective September 26, 1996, all of the operating assets and liabilities
      of the Company were acquired by Applied Power Inc. The general operations
      of the Company will be assumed by Applied Power Inc. and proceeds from
      the sale will be distributed to the stockholders through a liquidating
      dividend.

           APPLIED POWER INC. AND EVEREST ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT, INC.

     INTRODUCTION TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   Unaudited

As described under Item 2 of this report as originally filed on October 11,
1996, Applied Power Inc. (the "Company"), through its Wright Line subsidiary,
acquired the net assets of Everest Electronic Equipment, Inc. ("Everest"). The
transaction was completed on September 26, 1996 for cash consideration of
approximately $52 million.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statement of
earnings and balance sheet (the "pro forma statements") give effect to the
acquisition of Everest using the purchase method of accounting and are based on
the estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to such pro forma
statements. The pro forma statements have been prepared by the Company
utilizing the historical financial statements of the Company and of Everest and
accordingly, should be read in conjunction with such historical financial
statements of the Company and notes thereto which were contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996
and the audited financial statements and notes thereto of Everest which are
filed as item 7(a) of this Form 8-K/A.

These pro forma statements have been prepared and included herein as required
by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and are
provided for comparative purposes only. The pro forma statements are not
necessarily indicative of the future consolidated financial position and
results of operations or those which would have occurred had the acquisition
been consummated as of the dates reflected in the pro forma statements. In
reviewing the pro forma statements, the reader should consider the following:

1.   Prior to the acquisition, Everest was operating as an S Corporation
     under the Subchapter S provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Under such
     provisions, Everest was not subject to federal and certain state income
     taxes. The following pro forma statements reflect adjustments for the
     estimated corporate income tax effects during the periods Everest operated
     as an S Corporation. The resulting total estimated income tax effects
     reflect Everest as a separate taxpayer. As a result, the consolidated
     total income tax expense is not necessarily indicative of the result which
     would have occurred if Everest had been included in a consolidated US
     federal income tax return of the Company and its subsidiaries.

2.   Everest had been a supplier to Wright Line prior to the acquisition.
     Approximately $1.0 million in sales to Applied Power Inc. was recorded by
     Everest during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, which has been
     eliminated in the adjustments to the pro forma Condensed Consolidated
     Statement of Earnings.
