REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Plan Administrator of
Newcor Hourly Employees 401(k) Plan:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for
benefits of Newcor, Inc. Hourly Employees 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") at December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of the Newcor
Hourly Employees 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 1998 are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

NEWCOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES 401(K) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-------
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:
The Plan is a defined contribution plan adopted effective April 1, 1997
covering eligible hourly employees of Newcor, Inc. (the "Company") Hourly
participants in the Rubright Employees Retirement and 401(k) Plan,
Plastronics Plus 401(k) Plan, and Blackhawk Engineering 401(k) Plan were
merged with the plan effective January 1, 1998 ($1,753,000 net assets
transferred into the plan).
Information about the Plan and the vesting, benefit and allocation
provisions is contained in the plan agreement. Copies of this document
are available from the employer, Newcor, Inc. (the "Company").
Participants may make contributions to the Plan up to a maximum amount as
specified in IRS Section 402(G). Participants may invest in seven fund
options.
The Company's matching contribution, in the form of Newcor common stock,
is subject to a vesting schedule based on years of service from the date
of hire as follows: 1 year of service, 30 percent vesting; 2 years of
service, 60 percent vesting; 3 years of service, 100 percent vesting.
Nonvested Company contributions for terminated participants are forfeited
by the participant and are used to reduce future employer contributions
to the Plan.
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of
Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their
accounts.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual
method of accounting.
The fair value of investments held by the Plan in collective investment
funds and common stock funds are stated at quoted market prices on the
last business day of the plan year.
Expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the Plan are borne
by the employer.
The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for
plan benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of
its investments which consists of the realized gains and losses and the
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management at times to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds, and other
investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various
risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk
associated with certain investment securities and the level of
uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it
is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term
would materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts
reported in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits and
the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits.

operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
