Note:  The Company has determined that it would be preferable to reclassify the
       $21.65 million promissory note referred to in Note C from a current
       payable, as shown in the Form 10-Q filed on March 17, 1998, to long-term
       debt as a result of the note being refinanced on a long-term basis with
       the proceeds from the Company's $125 million Senior Subordinated Note
       offering completed March 4, 1998.  The reclassification is in accordance
       with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 6, "Classification
       of Short-Term Obligations Expected to be Refinanced."

                                  NEWCOR, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note A.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
         have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
         to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do
         not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
         accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In
         the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a
         fair presentation have been included, and such adjustments are of a
         normal recurring nature.  Results for interim periods should not be
         considered indicative of results for a full year.  The year-end
         condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial
         statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally
         accepted accounting principles.  For further information, refer to the
         consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
         the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended  October
         31, 1997.

         Certain items in prior years' condensed consolidated financial
         statements have been reclassified to conform with the presentation
         used in the quarterly period ended January 31, 1998.


Note B.  Interest of approximately $665,000 and $432,000 was paid during the
         three months ended January 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Income
         taxes were not paid during the three months ended January 31, 1998 and
         1997, respectively.

Note C.  On December 23, 1997, the Company purchased the assets and business of
         Machine Tool & Gear, Inc. (MT&G) for $27.25 million plus the
         assumption of approximately $5.8 million of debt, which was
         subsequently retired.  MT&G manufactures differential pinion and side
         gears, output shafts and rear axle shafts for the automotive industry.
         For these assets, the Company paid cash of $2.5 million in October
         1997 and an additional $3.1 million in December 1997.  On December 5,
         1997, the Company's revolving credit agreement was increased from
         $25.0 million to $37.0 million to pay off acquired bank debt and make
         the down payment on the MT&G acquisition.  A promissory note for
         $21.65 million, paying interest at 8%, was issued for the balance of
         the purchase price and was subsequently paid off on March 11, 1998
         using the proceeds from the Company's private placement of $125
         million of 9.875% Senior Subordinated Notes (the Notes) as described
         in Note E.  The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of
         accounting.  The cost in excess of net assets acquired of
         approximately $24 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis
         over twenty years.  The unaudited pro forma results of operations with
         the inclusion of MT&G for the entire first quarter of fiscal 1998 and
         1997 would not have been materially different from actual results.

         On January 13, 1997, the Company purchased for cash the common stock
         of Plastronics Plus, Inc. (Plastronics), a Wisconsin corporation.
         Plastronics primarily manufactures custom injection-molded components
         for the automotive industry.  The purchase price was approximately $8
         million in cash plus the assumption of approximately $4.1 million of
         Plastronics debt, which was subsequently retired.  The purchase was
         financed through the Company's existing line of credit facility.  The
         acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting.  The
         cost in excess of net assets acquired of approximately $4 million is
         being amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years.

Note D.  On March 4, 1998, the Company purchased the common stock of Grand
         Machining Company, Deco Technologies, Inc. and Deco International,
         Inc. (collectively, Deco) for $54.85 million in cash, subject to
         certain net book value adjustments.  Deco manufactures high volume,
         precision machined components and assemblies for the medium and heavy
         duty truck and automotive industries.  Deco's products include rocker
         arm components and assemblies, transmission shafts, axle shafts and
         thrust plates.  The Company made a $5.0 million deposit to the Deco
         shareholders in December 1997.  The balance of the purchase price was
         paid in March 1998, with the proceeds from the Notes as described in
         Note E.  The acquisition will be recorded using the purchase method of
         accounting.  The cost in excess of net assets acquired is expected to
         be approximately $40 million and will be amortized on a straight-line
         basis over twenty years.

         On March 4, 1998, the Company purchased the stock of Turn-Matic, Inc.
         (Turn-Matic) for $17.0 million in cash, subject to certain net book
         value adjustments.  Contingent consideration of up to $3.5 million may
         be paid if profitability achieves certain levels over the next five
         years.  Turn-Matic manufactures high volume precision machined
         components and assemblies for the automotive industry.  Turn-Matic's
         products include oil filter adapters, main bearing caps and intake and
         exhaust manifolds.  The purchase was financed with the proceeds from
         the Notes

<PAGE>   6


          as described in Note E.  The acquisition will be recorded using the
          purchase method of accounting.  The cost in excess of net assets
          acquired is expected to be approximately $10 million and will be
          amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years.

Note E.  The Company completed the private placement of the Notes on March 4,
         1998.  Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on March 1
         and September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 1998.  The Notes
         will mature on March 1, 2008.  The Notes are unsecured and will be
         redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, on or
         after March 1, 2003.  Proceeds from the Notes have been used to
         finance the Deco and Turn-Matic acquisitions, pay off the note issued
         in connection with the MT&G acquisition and pay down the Company's
         line of credit facility.

         In conjunction with the Notes offering, the Company's revolving credit
         agreement was amended to allow the Company to increase total
         availability to $50.0 million.  The revolving credit agreement is
         collateralized by substantially all of the Company's non-real estate
         assets and by Rochester Gear, Inc. real estate.  The current
         expiration date for the revolving credit agreement is February 28,
         2001.

         The revolving credit agreement, the Company's $10 million term note
         and the Notes require the Company to comply with certain financial
         covenants including net worth, debt service coverage and total debt.
         In addition, the terms of the Notes require the Company to suspend its
         cash dividend.

Note F.  On March 6, 1997, the Company sold the business and substantially all
         assets of its Eonic operation.  Although assets were sold at
         approximately net book value, reserves were established for employee
         separation costs, costs associated with the collection of accounts
         receivable and pension plan costs, resulting in a $711,000 expense
         being recorded during the quarter ended January 31, 1997.  The Company
         received cash of $1.5 million and a $1 million 8.25% note due over
         five years.  The proceeds were used to reduce long-term debt.

Note G.  The Company sold the land and building of Newcor  Machine Tool during
         the second quarter of 1998 for approximately $1.3 million, net of
         selling expenses.  The after-tax gain associated with this sale is
         approximately $200,000, which will be recognized in the second quarter
         of 1998.

Note H.  In addition to the quarterly cash dividend of $.05 per share of common
         stock, a 5% stock dividend was approved by the Board of Directors in
         the third quarter of 1997.  The dividend was distributed during the
         fourth quarter of 1997 to shareholders' of record at the close of
         business on August 14, 1997.  The effect of the stock dividend has
         been reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
         As mentioned in Note E., the Company has suspended future cash
         dividend payments.

Note I.  The Company has been notified by one of its largest customers that the
         customer is defending itself in a patent infringement lawsuit
         involving certain processes/methods used on manufacturing equipment
         supplied by numerous vendors including one of the Company's former
         divisions within the Special Machines segment.  The Company retained
         responsibility for this matter when it sold the related business.
         Certain component suppliers of the Company have been notified of their
         potential responsibility to the Company in connection with this
         action.  The Company does not possess sufficient information to
         evaluate the validity of this claim and, accordingly, is unable to
         determine whether it will ultimately be required to make any payment
         related to this lawsuit, or the extent to which any such payment could
         be offset or mitigated by claims against suppliers.

         The Company sold several of its businesses during fiscal 1997 and
         1996, including the division that produced the equipment described
         above.  In each case the Company's agreement with the purchaser
         requires it to indemnify the purchaser for various claims including
         certain environmental, product liability, warranty and other claims
         that may arise relating to the conduct of the business before the date
         of sale, subject in some cases to limits on the time within which an
         indemnification claim may be brought or the maximum amount the Company
         may be required to pay.  The Company provided for its estimated
         indemnification obligations when these businesses were sold and has no
         reason to believe there are potential claims against it in excess of
         this provision, although no specific amounts are included in such
         reserve with respect to the patent infringement action described
         above.

         Various other legal matters arising during the normal course of
         business are pending against the Company.  Management does not expect
         that the ultimate liability, if any, of these matters will have a
         material effect on future financial position and results of
         operations.
