PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(A) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Graham Corporation (the "Company" or the "Registrant") is a Delaware
company incorporated in 1983. It is the successor to Graham Manufacturing Co.,
Inc., which was incorporated in 1936. The Company's business consists of two
segments, one operated by the Company in the United States and one operated by
its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom.
UNITED STATES OPERATIONS
During the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2000 ("FY 1999-2000") the Company's
U.S. operations consisted of its engineering and manufacturing business in
Batavia, NY.
The Company is a well-recognized supplier of steam jet ejector vacuum
systems, surface condensers for steam turbines, liquid ring vacuum pumps and
compressors, dry pumps and various types of heat exchangers such as Heliflow and
plate and frame exchangers. It possesses expertise in combining these various
products into packaged systems for sale to its customers in a variety of
industrial markets, including oil refining, chemical, petrochemical, power, pulp
and paper, other process applications, and shipbuilding.
FY 1999-2000 U.S. sales were $34.9 million, a decrease of 29% from the
previous fiscal year.
New orders in FY 1999-2000 were $44 million, up 21% from the previous
fiscal year. Year End backlog stood at $23.7 million, compared to $14.6 million
on March 31, 1999 and $27.3 million on March 31, 1998. This increase was due
mainly to sales of rectangular condensers and sales for marine applications, two
areas which the Company has targeted for increased sales.
Notwithstanding this improvement, competitive pressures on margins
continued to be felt in FY 1999-2000 as margins generally have not returned to
the pre-1999 levels.
The Company's U.S. export sales represented 29.8% of U.S. sales in FY
1999-2000, compared to 52% of U.S. sales in the previous year. Export sales
reflected a prolonged recession in Asia and Latin America. However, the Asian
and Latin American markets for the Company's products have demonstrated early
signs of recovery. Now that oil prices appear to have stabilized and significant
mergers in the oil industry have been completed, the consensus in the industry
is that opportunities in the refinery markets are expected to increase.
The Company had 279 employees in the United States as of March 31, 2000.
UNITED KINGDOM OPERATIONS
During FY 1999-2000, the Company's U.K. operations were undertaken by its
indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Graham Precision Pumps Limited (GPPL) in
Congleton, Cheshire, England. GPPL is wholly-owned by Graham Vacuum & Heat
Transfer Limited, which in turn is wholly-owned by the Company. Graham Vacuum
and Heat Transfer Limited has no employees.
GPPL manufactures liquid ring vacuum pumps, rotary piston pumps, oil sealed
rotary vane pumps, atmospheric air operated ejectors and complete vacuum pump
systems that are factory assembled with self-supporting structure.
Sales for FY 1999-2000 stood at $5,068,000, a decline of 10% compared with
the previous year. U.K. sales in FY 1999-2000 continue to be affected by the
strength of the Pound Sterling versus other currencies and a general recession
in the U.K. manufacturing industry.
GPPL's financial results for the fiscal year just ended included a charge
of $1.715 million for closing its defined benefit pension plan.
GPPL employed 53 people on March 31, 2000.

<PAGE> 3
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
The Company's capital expenditures for FY 1999-2000 amounted to $711,000.
Of this amount, $699,000 was for the U.S. business and $12,000 was for the U.K.
business.
(B) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
(1) Industry Segments and (2) Information as to Lines of Business
Graham Corporation operates in only one industry segment which is the
design and manufacture of vacuum and heat transfer equipment. Further segment
information is set forth in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on
pages 28-31 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(C) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
(1) Business Done and Intended to be Done
Principal Products and Markets
The Company designs and manufactures vacuum and heat transfer equipment,
primarily custom built. Its products include steam jet ejector vacuum systems,
surface condensers for steam turbines, liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors
and various types of heat exchangers including helical coil exchangers marketed
under the registered name "Heliflow" and plate and frame exchangers. These
products function to produce a vacuum or to condense steam or otherwise transfer
heat, or any combination of these tasks. They accomplish this without involving
any moving parts and are available in all metals and in many non-metallic and
corrosion resistant materials as well.
This equipment is used in a wide range of industrial process applications:
power generation facilities, including fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants as
well as cogeneration plants and geothermal power plants that harness naturally
occurring thermal energy; petroleum refineries; chemical plants; pharmaceutical
plants; plastics plants; fertilizer plants; breweries and titanium plants;
liquified natural gas production; soap manufacturing; air conditioning systems;
food processing plants and other process industries. Among these the principal
markets for the Company's products are the chemical, petrochemical, petroleum
refining, and electric power generating industries. The Company's equipment is
sold by a combination of direct company sales engineers and independent sales
representatives located in over 40 major cities in the United States and abroad.
Status of Publicly Announced New Products or Segments
The Company has no plans for new products or for entry into new industry
segments that would require the investment of a material amount of the Company's
assets or that otherwise is material.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
The Company experienced no serious material shortages in FY 1999-2000.
Material Patents, Trademarks
The Company holds no material patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises or
concessions the loss of which would have a materially adverse effect upon the
business of the Company.
Seasonal Variations
No material part of the Company's business is seasonal.
Principal Customers
The Company's principal customers include the large chemical, petroleum and
power companies, which are end users of the Company's equipment in their
manufacturing and refining processes, as well as large engineering contractors
who build installations for such companies and others.
2
<PAGE> 4
No material part of the Company's business is dependent upon a single
customer or on a few customers, the loss of any one or more of whom would have a
materially adverse effect on the Company's business. No customer of the Company
or group of related customers regularly accounts for as much as 10% of the
Company's consolidated annual revenue.
Order Backlog
Backlog of unfilled firm orders at March 31, 2000 was $24,302,000 compared
to $15,438,000 at March 31, 1999 and $28,199,000 at March 31, 1998.
Competition
The Company's business is highly competitive and a substantial number of
companies having greater financial resources are engaged in manufacturing
similar products. However, the Company believes it is one of the leading
manufacturers of steam jet ejectors.
Research Activities
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, FY 1999-2000, and 1998-1999
the Company spent approximately $255,000, $371,000, and $404,000, respectively,
on research activities relating to the development of new products or the
improvement of existing products.
Environmental Matters
The Company does not anticipate that compliance with federal, state and
local provisions, which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of
material in the environment or otherwise pertaining to the protection of the
environment, will have a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings
and competitive position of the Company and its subsidiaries.
(D) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES
The information called for under this Item is set forth in Note 14 to
Consolidated Financial Statements, on pages 28-31 of this Annual Report on Form
10-K.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
United States: The Company's corporate headquarters is located at 20
Florence Avenue, Batavia, New York, consisting of a 45,000 square foot building.
The Company's manufacturing facilities are also located in Batavia, consisting
of approximately thirty-three acres and containing about 204,000 square feet in
several connected buildings, including 162,000 square feet in manufacturing
facilities, 48,000 square feet for warehousing and a 6,000 square-foot building
for product research and development.
Additionally the Company leases U.S. sales offices in Los Angeles and
Houston.
United Kingdom: The Company's U.K. subsidiary, Graham Precision Pumps
Limited, owns a 41,000 square-foot manufacturing facility located on 15 acres in
Congleton, Cheshire, England.
Assets of the Company with a book value of $27,157,000 have been pledged to
secure certain domestic long-term borrowings. Short and long-term borrowings of
the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary are secured by assets of the subsidiary,
which have a book value of $3,146,000.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") named the
Company's predecessor-in-interest, Graham Manufacturing Co., Inc. as a
Potentially Responsible Party pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, in connection with the
Batavia Landfill Site in the Town of Batavia, New York. A Pilot Allocation
"Final Allocation Report" issued on September 30, 1998 by the allocator selected
under the EPA pilot, allocated 1.597% of total remedial costs to the Company. In
3
<PAGE> 5
April 1999, EPA announced that it will proceed with a modification of the remedy
for the site announced in a 1995 Record of Decision. EPA's estimate of the
modified remedy is approximately $26,000,000 making the Company's full potential
exposure to EPA in accordance with this estimate $416,000. EPA's estimate has
not been audited or evaluated for appropriateness or accuracy and may contain
significant portions which are not eligible for recovery. In addition, claims
have been asserted by various private and municipal parties who performed
preliminary site investigations under orders they entered into with EPA. To
achieve a full settlement of EPA claims and all private claims asserted, Graham
is participating in a group of "cash-out" settling defendants who are
negotiating a comprehensive settlement which will include New York State in
addition to EPA and the private parties. Graham anticipates that its allocated
share of the global settlement of all covered claims will be $648,000.

</TABLE>
2000 COMPARED TO 1999
Consolidated net sales (after elimination of intercompany sales) for fiscal
year 2000 was $38,728,000, down 27% from 1999. The decrease was most dramatic in
the USA. Shipments in the petroleum refining and organic petrochemical market
segments were down $15,700,000 for fiscal 2000. Due to anemic demand and
unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, export sales were the lowest they
have been since FYE 1990.
Consolidated gross profit margins were 26% as compared to 28% for 1999.
About one-half of this decrease is due to a USA environmental reserve provision
necessitated by ongoing negotiations relating to the clean up of a former waste
disposal site. The remaining amount is due to lower sales.
Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased about
25% from 1999 due to cost reductions. As a percent of sales, SG&A expenses were
23% compared to 22% for the prior year.
Interest expense was down from 1999 due to holding interest bearing debt to
minimal levels through most of the year.
Provision for income taxes resulted in a net benefit of $280,000. The
effective rate in the USA was 33%. In the UK the current year net operating loss
generated a $456,000 deferred tax benefit.
A consolidated net loss of $833,000 or $0.55 per share was realized for the
twelve months. This loss included a restructuring charge in the UK of
$1,901,000. The UK work force was reduced in total 14% in the current year,
causing a redundancy charge of $186,000. The UK defined benefit plan was
terminated as of September 1999. A defined contribution plan was initiated in
its place. A pension curtailment expense (including professional expenses) of
$1,715,000 was recognized.
1999 COMPARED TO 1998
Consolidated net sales (after elimination of intercompany sales) for the
twelve months ended March 1999 was $52,978,000 as compared to $56,206,000 for
the year ended March 1998. Sales in 1998 were the highest in Graham
Manufacturing Company's history and were particularly benefited by a few large
condenser orders.
Consolidated gross profit margins were 28% as compared to 32% for 1998.
Margins decreased in the USA from 31% to 27% as a result of fewer sales together
with greater production fixed costs, and less indirect production absorption
into inventory at March 31, 1999. Profit margins in the UK decreased to 30% from
31%. UK operations experienced comparable indirect production costs to the
preceding year with lower current year sales dollars.
Consolidated Selling, General and Administration expenses as a result of
cost cutting measures decreased about 4% from 1998 and, stated as a percent of
sales, remained consistent with 1998, at 22%.
6
<PAGE> 8
Interest expense in 1999 and 1998 was 0.5% and 0.4% of sales, respectively.
Bank indebtedness was approximately 2% of equity for 1999 and 4% for 1998.
The effective consolidated income tax rate for FYE March 1999 was 13.6% as
compared to 1998 of 31% and an approximate statutory rate of 39%. The USA 1999
effective rate was 24% and the UK rate resulted in income of $278,000. The USA
company received tax exempt income in 1999 in excess of $500,000. In the UK, tax
loss carryforwards that were previously considered unusable were determined to
be utilizable. As a result of this, the valuation allowance on deferred tax
assets was reduced.
Net income for the current year was $2,369,000 or $1.46 diluted earnings
per share as compared to $3,766,000 or $2.21 diluted earnings per share in 1998.

2000 COMPARED TO 1999
Shareholders' Equity increased 2% over 1999. In 1999 a charge of
$1,191,000, due to the underfunded status of the UK pension fund, was
recognized. In FYE 2000 the liability was funded and the prior year reserve was
eliminated. This reversal more than offset the net loss for the current year.
1999 COMPARED TO 1998
Shareholders' Equity decreased 6% in 1999. During the year the Company
acquired 164,700 shares of its stock, for a cost of $2,337,000. Treasury shares
were purchased to fund employee benefit programs and other reasons determined
appropriate by the Board. Also, the UK operation took a charge to equity of
$1,191,000. The charge approximated the difference between the fair market value
of pension plan assets as of March 31, 1999 and the present value of future cash
outlays of pension obligations as of March 31, 1999. A significant amount of
this liability related to the drop in long-term interest rates and the resulting
effect of lowering the discount rate used to present value future dollars.

2000 COMPARED TO 1999
Consolidated cash flow from operations was negative $1,620,000. About
$1,600,000 of cash was used to fund the UK pension liability and pay related
professional costs.
Capital expenditures are budgeted to be $1,448,000 in FYE 2001. The Company
plans to fund cash needs primarily through earnings. At March 31, 2000 the USA
unused bank line of credit was $10,029,000. The UK operation had an unused line
available of $597,000.
1999 COMPARED TO 1998
Consolidated cash flow from operations in 1999 was $2,361,000 compared to
$7,259,000 in 1998. Cash from operations was down from the prior year due to
decreased net income and the related effects on working capital accounts due to
the timing recognition between accounting for certain sales for financial
presentation on the percentage-of-completion method and accrual method for
income tax purposes. Consolidated working capital decreased 4% to $11,989,000 as
of March 31, 1999 due to the general downward trend in business conditions. Cash
was used for purchasing the Company's stock, capital expenditures and reducing
interest bearing debt.

Consolidated orders in FYE 2000 were up 18% from 1999. The increase in new
orders in the current year reflects the Company's ability to adapt to weaknesses
in historically strong markets, specifically in the petro-chemical and petroleum
refinery segments. By product, surface condenser orders in FYE 2000 were greater
by $11,002,000 compared to March 1999. A significant portion of this business
came from the ocean marine and power fossil industries. Ejector orders were down
over $4,549,000 from 1999. Orders for surface condensers in 1999 were down from
the prior year in excess of $18,000,000 and ejector orders were down from 1998
about $3,761,000. Fewer orders from Southeast Asia has had its impact after
1998.
The consolidated backlog as of March 31, 2000 was up 57% from 1999. The
backlog at year end, except for about $5,000,000, is scheduled to be shipped
before March 31, 2001.
MARKET RISK (QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES)
The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from changes in
market rates and prices) to which Graham is exposed are:
- interest rates
- foreign exchange rates
- equity price risk
8
<PAGE> 10
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its
borrowing activities. Management's strategy for managing risks associated with
interest rate fluctuations is to hold interest bearing debt to the absolute
minimum and carefully assess the risks and rewards for incurring long-term debt.
Assuming year end 2000 variable rate debt, a 1% change in interest rates would
impact annual interest expense by $37,570.
Graham's international consolidated sales exposure for the current year
approximated 36 percent of annual sales. Operating in world markets involves
exposure to movements in currency exchange rates. Currency movements can affect
sales in several ways. Foremost, the ability to competitively compete for orders
against competition having a relatively weaker currency. Business lost due to
this cannot be quantified. Secondly, redemption value of sales can be adversely
impacted. The substantial portion of Graham's sales are collected in US dollars.
The Company enters into forward foreign exchange agreements to hedge its
exposure against unfavorable changes in foreign currency values on significant
sales contracts negotiated in foreign currencies. Graham uses derivatives for no
other reason.
Foreign operations resulted in a current year net loss of $1,209,000. As
currency exchange rates change, translations of the income statements of our UK
business into US dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating
results. We do not hedge translation risks because cash flows from UK operations
are mostly reinvested in the UK. A 10% change in foreign exchange rates would
have impacted the UK reported net loss by approximately $124,000.
The Company has a Long-Term Incentive Plan which provides for awards of
share equivalent units (SEU) for outside directors based upon the Company's
performance. The outstanding SEU's are recorded at fair market value thereby
exposing the Company to equity price risk. Gains and losses recognized due to
market price changes are included in the quarterly results of operations. Based
upon the SEU's outstanding at March 31, 2000 and 1999 and a $7 per share price,
a twenty to forty percent change in the respective year end market price of the
Company's common stock would positively or negatively impact the Company's
operating results by $15,000 to $30,000 for 2000 and $17,000 to $34,000 for
1999. Assuming required net income of $500,000 to award SEU's is met, the five
outside directors in accordance with the plan over the next five years, based
upon a market price of the Company's stock of $15 per share, a twenty to forty
percent change in the stock price would positively or negatively impact the
Company's operating results by $54,000 to $107,000 in 2001, $75,000 to $150,000
in 2002, $79,000 to $159,000 in 2003, $84,000 to $167,000 in 2004, and $84,000
to $167,000 in 2005.
OTHER MATTERS
The Company completed its Y2K readiness program. Costs required to be
compliant were minor. The Company, its customers, and suppliers have not yet
experienced any significant Y2K problems.
Increases in material and labor costs traditionally have been offset by
cost cutting measures and selling price increases. Obtaining price increases are
largely a factor of supply and demand for Graham's products, whereas inflation
factors can originate from influences outside of the Company's direct global
competition. Graham will continue to monitor the impact of inflation in order to
minimize its effects in future years through sales growth, pricing, product mix
strategies, productivity improvements, and cost reductions.
The Company's USA operations are governed by federal environmental laws,
principally the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Clean Air
Act, and the Clean Water Act, as well as state counterparts ("Environmental
Laws"). Environmental Laws require that certain parties fund remedial actions
regardless of fault, legality or original disposal or ownership of the site. The
Company is currently participating in an environmental assessment at one site
under these laws. Future remediation expenses at this site are subject to a
number of uncertainties, including the method and extent of remediation
(dependent, in part, on existing laws and technology), the percentage and type
of material attributable to the Company, the financial viability of site owners
and the other parties, and the availability of state and federal funds. Graham
has provided for its anticipated costs relevant to this project and will
continue to assess the needs to increase or decrease contingencies reserves
established.

ACCOUNTING STANDARD CHANGES
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and derivatives utilized for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. The impact of adopting this statement is
not expected to have an adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.
FORWARD LOOKING
Certain statements contained in this document, including within this
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, that are not historical facts, constitute "Forward-Looking
Statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Forward-looking statements, in general, predict, forecast, indicate or
imply future results, performance or achievements and generally use words so
indicative. The Company wishes to caution the reader that numerous important
factors which involve risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to
economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the
Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices, and other factors
discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
in the future, could affect the Company's actual results and could cause its
actual consolidated results to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company.
Graham Corporation ended its year with a 57% increase in backlog. Demand
for Graham's products in its traditionally strong core markets continued to be
weak through FYE 2000. The ability to increase new orders over FYE 1999 reflects
the Company's strength to engineer and build products that historically have not
played a major role in its revenue generation. The Company's ability to expense
a $1,901,000 restructuring charge, including the departure of two senior UK
executives plus the retirement in May 1999 of a third senior UK executive and
realize a net loss of $833,000 on sales down 27% from 1999 and 31% from 1998,
shows the quality of the Company's baseline core products and the effectiveness
of its cost cutting undertakings over the recent few years. Most importantly, it
indicates the potential for excellent earnings in future years when capacity and
revamping needs in the market segments served rebounds. Until that time, Graham
will continue to control costs, add to the long-term product base and, in
general, be aggressive on all sales opportunities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY AND ITS ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Graham Corporation and its subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the design
and manufacture of vacuum and heat transfer equipment used in the chemical,
petrochemical, petroleum refining, and electric power generating industries and
sells to customers throughout the world. The Company's significant accounting
policies follow.
Principles of Consolidation and Use of Estimates in the Preparation of
Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances, transactions and profits are eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management 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, as well as the related revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimated.
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the
current presentation.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S.
dollars at currency exchange rates in effect at year end and revenues and
expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect for the year. Gains
and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results
of operations. Gains and losses resulting from translation of foreign subsidiary
balance sheets are included in a separate component of shareholders' equity.
Translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes since they relate to
an investment which is permanent in nature.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue and all related costs on contracts with a
duration in excess of three months and with revenues of $1,000,000 and greater
using the percentage-of-completion method. The percentage-of-completion is
determined by relating actual labor incurred to-date to management's estimate of
total labor to be incurred on each contract. Contracts in progress are reviewed
monthly, and sales and earnings are adjusted in current accounting periods based
on revisions in contract value and estimated costs at completion. All contracts
with values less than $1,000,000 are accounted for on the completed contract
method and included in income upon substantial completion or shipment to the
customer.
Investments
Investments consist primarily of fixed-income debt securities with
maturities of beyond three months. All investments are classified as
held-to-maturity as the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the
securities to maturity. The investments are stated at amortized cost.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
on the first-in, first-out method. Progress payments for orders are netted
against inventory to the extent the payment is less than the inventory balance
relating to the applicable contract. Progress payments that are in excess of the
corresponding inventory balance are presented as customer deposits in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
15
<PAGE> 17
Property, Plant and Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major additions and
improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided based upon the
estimated useful lives under the straight line method. Estimated useful lives
range from approximately five to twenty-five years for office and manufacturing
equipment and forty years for buildings and improvements. Upon sale or
retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed
from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of
operations. Impairment losses are recognized when the carrying value of an asset
exceeds its fair value. The Company regularly assesses all of its long-lived
assets for impairment and recognized an impairment loss of $17,000 in 2000. No
such impairment losses were required in 1999 or 1998.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's
financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates. The Company
evaluates the available evidence about future taxable income and other possible
sources of realization of deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance
to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that represents the Company's best
estimate of the amount of such deferred tax assets that more likely than not
will be realized.
Stock-Based Compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," (SFAS 123) encourages, but does not require,
companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation
plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for
stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," (APB 25) and related Interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost
for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price
of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay
to acquire the stock. Compensation cost for share equivalent units is recorded
based on the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the end of the
period.
Per Share Data
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of common and, when applicable, potential common
shares outstanding during the period. A reconciliation of the numerators and
denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share is presented below.

</TABLE>
None of the Company's options to purchase shares of common stock which
totaled 187,250 were included in the computation of diluted loss per share for
fiscal year 2000 as the effect would be anti-dilutive due to the net loss in the
current year.
Cash Flow Statement
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Actual interest paid was $230,000 in 2000, $292,000 in 1999, and $254,000
in 1998. In addition, actual income taxes paid were $331,000 in 2000, $1,499,000
in 1999, and $951,000 in 1998.
Non cash activities during 2000, 1999, and 1998 included capital
expenditures totaling $3,000, $290,000 and $68,000, respectively, which were
financed through the issuance of capital leases. In addition, the minimum
pension liability adjustment, net of a tax benefit, totaling $1,191,000 that was
recognized in 1999 was subsequently reversed in 2000.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and other comprehensive
income or loss items, which are reflected as a separate component of equity. For
the Company, other comprehensive income or loss items include foreign currency
translation adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments.
Accounting and Reporting Changes
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and derivatives utilized for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. This statement is effective for the Company in fiscal 2002. The
impact of adopting this statement is not expected to have an adverse effect on
the Company's financial statements.

</TABLE>
In 2000, the Company began borrowing under domestic repurchase agreements
from its investment banker. The interest rate is based upon the federal funds
rate and the type of collateral securing the loan. At March 31, 2000, the
interest rate was 6.15%. The borrowings are secured by the Company's short-term
investments totaling $4,905,000.
The United Kingdom subsidiary has a revolving credit facility agreement
which provides a line of credit of 407,000 pounds sterling ($647,000 at the
March 31, 2000 exchange rate) including letters of credit and long-term
borrowings. The interest rate is the bank's rate plus 1 1/2%. The bank's base
rate was 6% and 5 1/2% at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The United
Kingdom operations had available unused lines of credit of $597,000 at March 31,
2000. The weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings in 2000 and
1999 was 6.5% and 7.9%, respectively.

</TABLE>
The United States revolving credit facility agreement provides a line of
credit of up to $13,000,000 including letters of credit, through October 31,
2002. The agreement allows the Company to borrow at prime minus a variable
percentage based upon certain financial ratios. The Company was able to borrow
at a rate of prime minus 100 basis points at March 31, 2000 and 1999.
19
<PAGE> 21
The agreement allows the Company at any time to convert balances
outstanding not less than $2,000,000 and up to $9,000,000 into a two-year term
loan. This conversion feature is available through October 2002, at which time
the Company may convert the principal outstanding on the revolving line of
credit to a two-year term loan. The bank's prime rate was 9% and 7.75% at March
31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The United States operations had available
unused lines of credit of $10,029,000 at March 31, 2000.
The Employee Stock Ownership Plan Loan Payable requires quarterly payments
of $50,000. At March 31, 2000, the final principal payment was made on this
loan. (See Note 8 for a description of the Plan.)
The United Kingdom term loan has a fixed rate of 9%. This term loan is due
in October 2000 and is repayable in equal monthly installments.
Long-term debt requirements over the next five years, excluding capital
leases, are: 2001 -- $67,000, 2002 -- 0, 2003 -- $366,000, 2004 -- $879,000, and
2005 -- $512,000.
The Company is required to pay commitment fees of 1/4% on the unused
portion of the domestic revolving credit facility. No other financing
arrangements require compensating balances or commitment fees. Assets with a
book value of $27,157,000 have been pledged to secure certain domestic long-term
borrowings.
The United Kingdom short-term and long-term bank borrowings are secured by
assets of the United Kingdom subsidiary which have a book value of $3,146,000 at
March 31, 2000.
Several of the loan agreements contain provisions pertaining to the
maintenance of minimum working capital balances, tangible net worth, capital
expenditures and financial ratios as well as restrictions on the payment of cash
dividends to shareholders and incurrence of additional long-term debt. The most
restrictive dividend provision limits the payment of dividends to shareholders
to the greater of $400,000 or 25% of consolidated net income. In addition, the
United States operations cannot make any loans or advances exceeding $500,000 to
any affiliates without prior consent of the bank.
NOTE 6 -- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Concentrations of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents,
investments, and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash, cash
equivalents, and investments with high credit quality financial institutions and
actively evaluates the credit worthiness of these financial institutions.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are
limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer
base and their geographic dispersion. At March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company
had no significant concentrations of credit risk.
Letters of Credit:
The Company has entered into standby letter of credit agreements with
financial institutions relating to the guarantee of future performance on
certain contracts. At March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company was contingently
liable on outstanding standby letters of credit aggregating $1,263,000 and
$1,168,000, respectively.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management:
The Company, as a result of its global operating and financial activities,
is exposed to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates. In seeking to
minimize the risks and/or costs associated with such activities, the Company may
utilize foreign exchange forward contracts with fixed dates of maturity and
exchange rates. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for
trading or other speculative purposes and only contracts with high quality
financial institutions. If the counterparties to the exchange contracts do not
fulfill their obligations to deliver the contracted foreign currencies, the
Company could be at risk for fluctuations, if any, required to settle the
obligation. At March 31, 1999, there were no foreign exchange forward contracts
held by the Company. The table below summarizes the notional amount of the
foreign exchange forward contract held by
20
<PAGE> 22
the Company at March 31, 2000. The amount represents the U.S. dollar equivalent
of a commitment to sell the foreign currency.
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
The Company entered into this foreign exchange forward contract to hedge a
sales commitment denominated in the currency of the sales contract. The term of
the derivative is less than one year.
At March 31, 2000, the Company had a deferred unrealized loss of $4,000
which is expensed as part of the hedged transaction. The amount represents the
loss that would have been recognized had the contract been liquidated at market
value at year end. The fair value of the foreign exchange forward contract is
estimated based on dealer quotes.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial
instruments are summarized as follows:
INVESTMENTS -- The fair value of investments at March 31, 2000 was
$4,565,000 which is based on quoted market prices. The fair value of
investments at March 31, 1999 approximated the carrying value.
SHORT-TERM DEBT -- The carrying value of short-term debt approximates
fair value due to the short-term maturity of this instrument.
LONG-TERM DEBT -- The carrying values of credit facilities with
variable rates of interest approximate fair values. The fair value of fixed
rate debt, which approximates the carrying value, was estimated by
discounting cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar
terms and remaining maturities.

Deferred income taxes include the impact of foreign net operating loss
carryforwards which may be carried forward indefinitely and investment tax
credits which expire from 2007 to 2015. A valuation allowance of $277,000 at
March 31, 2000 is deemed adequate to reserve for the foreign net loss
carryforwards which are not considered probable of realization.
The Company does not provide for additional U.S. income taxes on
undistributed earnings considered permanently invested in its United Kingdom
subsidiary. At March 31, 2000, such undistributed earnings totaled

NOTE 8 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
Retirement Plans
The Company has a qualified defined benefit plan covering employees in the
United States which is non-contributory. Benefits are based on the employee's
years of service and average earnings for the five highest consecutive calendar
years of compensation for the ten year period preceding retirement. The
Company's funding policy for the plan is to contribute the amount required by
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

In October 1999, the Company terminated the defined benefit pension plan in
the United Kingdom. This plan was contributory with the employer's share being
actuarially determined. Benefits were based on the employee's years of service
and average earnings for the three highest years for the ten year period
preceding retirement. As a result of the plan termination, a curtailment loss of
$1,682,000 was recognized. This charge is
23
<PAGE> 25
included in the caption "Restructuring Costs" in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations. Employees may participate in a defined contribution plan which has
replaced the defined benefit plan.
Pension expense for the U.K. Plan was $209,000, $206,000 and $6,000 in
2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
In 1999, the Company recognized an additional minimum pension liability for
the underfunded U.K. defined benefit plan. The additional minimum pension
liability was equal to the excess of the accumulated benefit obligation over
plan assets and the accrued liability net of an intangible asset and deferred
tax asset. Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of the
following:

</TABLE>
The current portion of the pension liability as of March 31, 2000 and 1999
is included in the caption "Accrued Compensation" and the long-term portion is
separately presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Assets of the United States plan consist primarily of equity securities at
March 31, 2000 and 1999. At March 31, 1999 assets of the United Kingdom plan
consisted of an investment contract with an insurance company which was
primarily invested in equity securities. The unrecognized net asset at
transition is being amortized over the remaining service lives of the
participants which approximates 19 years for the domestic plan.
The Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for certain key
executives. This unfunded plan provides retirement benefits associated with
wages in excess of the legislated qualified plan maximums. Pension expense
recorded in 2000, 1999, and 1998 related to this plan was $26,000, $26,000, and
$6,000, respectively. At March 31, 2000 and 1999, the related liability was
$107,000 and $81,000, respectively, and is included in the caption "Accrued
Pension Liability" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company has defined contribution plans covering substantially all
employees. Company contributions to the domestic plan are based on the
profitability of the Company and amounted to $51,000, $593,000 and $647,000 in
2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. In fiscal year 2000, a defined contribution
plan was established in the United Kingdom. Company contributions to this plan
are based on a percentage of base salary which varies with the participant's
age. Company contributions were $43,000 in 2000.
The Company has a deferred compensation plan that allows certain key
employees to defer a portion of their compensation. The principal and interest
earned on the deferred balances are payable upon retirement. The accrued
compensation liability under this plan was $1,100,000 and $1,126,000 at March
31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The Company has a noncontributory Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that
covers substantially all employees in the United States. In 1990, the Company
borrowed $2,000,000 under loan and pledge agreements. The proceeds of the loans
were used to purchase 87,454 shares of the Company's common stock. The purchased
shares were pledged as security for the payment of principal and interest as
provided in the loan and pledge agreements. Funds for servicing the debt
payments were provided from contributions paid by the Company to the ESOP, from
earnings attributable to such contributions, and from cash dividends paid to the
ESOP on shares of the Company stock which it owns.
During 2000, 1999, and 1998 the Company recognized expense associated with
the ESOP using the shares allocated method. This method recognizes interest
expense as incurred on all outstanding debt of the ESOP and compensation expense
related to principal reductions based on shares allocated for the period.
Dividends received on unallocated shares that are used to service the ESOP debt
reduce the amount of expense recognized each
24
<PAGE> 26
period. The compensation expense associated with the ESOP was $225,000,
$200,000, and $200,000 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The ESOP received
no dividends on unallocated shares in 2000, 1999, and 1998. Interest expense in
the amount of $10,000, $25,000, and $42,000 was incurred in 2000, 1999, and
1998, respectively. Dividends paid on allocated shares accumulate for the
benefit of the employees.
Other Postretirement Benefits
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company has a United States
plan which provides health care benefits for eligible retirees and eligible
survivors of retirees. The Company recognizes the cost of these benefits on the
accrual basis as employees render service to earn the benefits. Early retirees
who are eligible to receive benefits under the plan are required to share in
twenty percent of the medical premium cost. In addition, the Company's share of
the premium costs has been capped.
The components of postretirement benefit cost are:

NOTE 9 -- STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS:
The 1995 Graham Corporation Incentive Plan to Increase Shareholder Value
provides for the issuance of up to 192,000 shares of common stock in connection
with grants of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to
officers, key employees and outside directors. The options may be granted at
prices not less than the fair market value at the date of grant and expire no
later than ten years after the date of grant.
The 1989 Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan provided for the
issuance of up to 188,700 shares of common stock in connection with grants of
non-qualified stock options and tandem stock appreciation rights to officers,
key employees and certain outside directors. Options can no longer be granted
under this plan.
The Company has a Long-Term Incentive Plan which provides for awards of
share equivalent units for outside directors based upon the Company's
performance. Each unit is equivalent to one share of the Company's common stock.
Share equivalent units are credited to each outside director's account for each
of the first five full fiscal years of the director's service and are payable in
cash or stock upon retirement. The cost of performance units earned and charged
to pre-tax income under this Plan in 2000, 1999, and 1998 was $0, $50,000, and
$50,000, respectively.
The Company applies APB 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for
its plans. Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense has been
recognized for its stock option plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's
three stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant
date for awards under those plans in accordance with the optional methodology
prescribed under SFAS 123, the Company's net income (loss) and net earnings
(loss) per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:

At March 31, 2000, the options outstanding had a weighted average remaining
contractual life of 7.66 years. There were 175,050 options exercisable at March
31, 2000 which had a weighted average exercise price of $13.47. The remaining
options are exercisable at a rate of 20 percent per year from the date of grant.
The outstanding options expire May 2003 to October 2009. The number of options
available for future grants were 48,450 at March 31, 2000 and 84,850 at March
31, 1999.
NOTE 10 -- SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN:
On February 23, 1990 the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan. Under
the Plan, as of March 7, 1990, one share Purchase Right ("Right") is attached to
each outstanding share of Common Stock. When and if the Rights become
exercisable, each Right would entitle the holder of a share of Common Stock to
purchase from the Company an additional share of Common Stock for $46.67 per
share, subject to adjustment. The Rights become exercisable upon certain events:
(i) if a person or group of persons acquires 20% or more of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock; or (ii) if a person or group commences a tender offer
for 30% or more of the Company's outstanding Common Stock.
The Company may redeem the Rights for $.01 per Right at any time prior to
the close of business on the date when the Rights become exercisable.
After the Rights become exercisable, if the Company is acquired in a
business combination transaction, or if at least half of the Company's assets or
earning power are sold, then each Right would entitle its holder to purchase
stock of the acquirer (or Graham, if it were the surviving company) at a
discount of 50%. The number of shares that each Right would entitle its holder
to acquire at discount would be the number of shares having a market value equal
to twice the exercise price of the Right.

NOTE 11 -- RESTRUCTURING COSTS:
During fiscal year 2000, the defined benefit pension plan in the United
Kingdom was terminated which resulted in a curtailment loss of $1,682,000. In
addition, the Company incurred fees and expenses of $33,000 in administering the
closure of the plan. The curtailment loss and related expenses are included in
the caption "Restructuring Costs" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In October and March of fiscal year 2000, the United Kingdom subsidiary, in
an effort to reduce costs, restructured its work force by eliminating positions
at the staff and senior management levels. As a result, a restructuring charge
of $186,000 was recognized which included severance and related employee benefit
costs. This charge is also included in the caption "Restructuring Costs" in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations.
NOTE 12 -- CONTINGENCIES:
The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") named the
Company's predecessor-in-interest, Graham Manufacturing Co., Inc. as a
Potentially Responsible Party pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, in connection with the
Batavia Landfill Site in the Town of Batavia, New York. A Pilot Allocation
"Final Allocation Report" issued on September 30, 1998 by the allocator selected
under the EPA pilot, allocated 1.597% of total remedial costs to the Company. In
April 1999, EPA announced that it will proceed with a modification of the remedy
for the site announced in a 1995 Record of Decision. EPA's estimate of the
modified remedy is approximately $26,000,000 making the Company's full potential
exposure to EPA in accordance with this estimate $416,000. EPA's estimate has
not been audited or evaluated for appropriateness or accuracy and may contain
significant portions which are not eligible for recovery. In addition, claims
have been asserted by various private and municipal parties who performed
preliminary site investigations under orders they entered into with EPA. To
achieve a full settlement of EPA claims and all private claims asserted, Graham
is participating in a group of "cash-out" settling defendants who are
negotiating a comprehensive settlement which will include New York State in
addition to EPA and the private parties. Graham anticipates that its allocated
share of the global settlement of all covered claims will be $648,000.
The liability recorded for this item was $700,000 and $300,000 at March 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively. The current portion of this liability is separately
presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the long-term portion is
included in the caption "Other Long-Term Liabilities."
NOTE 13 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Director H. Russel Lemcke is President of the H. Russel Lemcke Group, which
the Company has engaged to assist it in making an acquisition in fulfillment of
its strategic plan. Pursuant to this engagement, which commenced in May 1999,
the Company pays to Mr. Lemcke a retainer of $2,500 per month, together with
out-of-pocket expenses. In the event that the Company were to acquire another
business entity as a result of such assistance, Mr. Lemcke would be paid a fee
of $100,000 plus 1% of the purchase price of the acquired entity.
In April 2000, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to shareholder
approval, a Long-Term Stock Ownership Plan to encourage officers and directors
to broaden their equity ownership in the Company. The Board authorized the sale
under the Plan of up to 160,000 shares of the Company's common stock currently
held as treasury stock. Of the amount authorized, eligible participants have
purchased 117,800 shares.
NOTE 14 -- SEGMENT INFORMATION:
The Company's business consists of two operating segments based upon
geographic area. These segments were determined based upon the manner in which
financial information is used by management in operating the Company. The United
States segment designs and manufactures heat transfer and vacuum equipment. Heat
transfer equipment includes surface condensers, Heliflows, water heaters and
various types of heat exchangers. Vacuum equipment includes steam jet ejector
vacuum systems and liquid ring vacuum pumps. These products are sold
individually or combined into package systems for use in several industrial
markets. The Company also services and sells spare parts for its equipment. The
operating segment located in the United Kingdom
28
<PAGE> 30
manufactures vacuum equipment which includes liquid ring vacuum pumps, piston
pumps, ejectors and complete vacuum pump systems.
Intersegment sales represent intercompany sales made based upon a
competitive pricing structure. All intercompany profits in inventory are
eliminated in the consolidated accounts and are included in the eliminations
caption below. In computing segment net income or loss, corporate expenses
incurred by the United States segment have been charged to the United Kingdom
segment on a management fee basis. Operating segment information is presented

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Graham Corporation
Batavia, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Graham
Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2000. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America and with United Kingdom auditing
standards issued by the Auditing Practices Board. 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Graham Corporation and
subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31,
2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
