Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors
Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co and its Consolidated Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hermann
Pfauter GmbH & Co and its consolidated subsidiaries, listed in Note 2,
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the related consolidated statements of
cash flows for the years then ended and the related consolidated
statements of income for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, all expressed in Deutsch Marks. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
did not audit the financial statements of all of the Company's
subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the years then ended.
Those companies, listed in Note 2, whose statements represent 47.9% of
the total assets as of December 31, 1995 and 49.8% and 60.1% of revenue
(individual revenue as a % of consolidated revenue) for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, were audited by other auditors whose reports
have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to data
included for these above mentioned companies, is based solely on the
reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in the United States and Germany. 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 and the reports of the
other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors,
the financial statements referred to above, expressed in Deutsch Marks,
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co and its consolidated subsidiaries
at December 31, 1996 and 1995, the consolidated cash flows for each of
the two years then ended and the results of operations for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in Germany, which differ in certain
respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements).

1. General
The annual consolidated financial statements of Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co
were prepared according to the statutory accounting requirements of the
German commercial code.
The profit and loss account was prepared on the basis of the cost of
sales model.
The German commercial code normally requires presentation of balance
sheets and income statements and related notes for two comparative years.
However, for purposes of this presentation, balance sheets and cash flow
statements have been shown for two comparative years whereas the income
statements reflect three comparative years with appropriate notes for the
respective years included.
2. Scope of consolidation
The following domestic and foreign subsidiaries of Pfauter GmbH & Co are

* - The financial statements of the four American subsidiaries have
been audited by other auditors as of and for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994.
In accordance with Section 296, paragraph 2 of the German Commercial
Code, the subsidiary German Machine Tool Service center Ltd., as shown
below, has not been consolidated but rather is reflected as an investment
at cost.
In addition, the investment in Engrenasa Maquinas Operatitizes Ltd. has
also been reflected at cost net of write downs. The company was not
consolidated or accounted for by applying the equity method since the
investment was being held for sale (Section 296, paragraph 1, number 3 of
the German Commercial Code).

In addition, through its consolidated subsidiary Pfauter Maag Cutting
Tools L.P., the group has a 45.6% share (1995: 30.6%) in Mecup S.R.L.
Bologna, Italy (share capital: Lit 1,150,000) which has been accounted
for using the equity method. In 1995 and 1996, extraordinary write downs
amounting to DM 1,549 and DM 1,700 respectively were booked to reflect
the declining value of the investment.
3. Consolidation principles
In accordance with German commercial law, for the subsidiaries already
belonging to the group on December 31, 1989 the capital consolidation was
made in the consolidated financial statements on that closing date in
accordance with the so-called "German method" whereby the differences
between the equity of the subsidiaries and the carrying value of the
investments were defined as goodwill and recorded directly to capital
reserves by exercising the option right according to the transitional
regulation of Sec. 27.1 of the EU Commercial Code. For subsidiaries or
parts of subsidiaries purchased and consolidated after December 31, 1989,
the capital consolidation is carried out according to the "book value
method" (purchase accounting) pursuant to Sec. 301 of the Commercial
code.
The classification of the balance sheet and income statement as well as
the valuation of principles applied have been adjusted to conform with
the current German Commercial Code if the deviation was material.
<PAGE>
(amounts shown in thousands, except where specified)
Profits, revenues and expenses and receivable and payable balances
arising from transactions between consolidated companies have been
eliminated in consolidation.
4. Accounting policies
Goodwill and other intangible assets are stated on the basis of cost and
are amortized, principally on a straight-line basis, over the estimated
future periods to be benefited (not more than 15 years).
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less allowances for
depreciation. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated principally
by using the double declining method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets.
Investments in affiliates with less than 50% share ownership are recorded
using the equity method. Investments in insignificant unconsolidated
subsidiaries are recorded at cost.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost for purchased
parts and merchandise are determined on the basis of average cost or
first-in, first-out methods. However, for certain inventories, cost is
determined on the last-in, first-out method. Finished goods and work-in-
process is at manufacturing cost considering direct material and wages
and appropriate allocations of manufacturing overhead.
Accounts receivable and other assets are stated at nominal values with
appropriate allowances for collectibility risks.
The cost of pension and post-employment plans are computed on the basis
of accepted actuarial methods.
German foreign income taxes concerning partnerships within the
consolidated group are borne by the individual partners.
The Company has applied the use of special reserves, which are not
taxable until use or liquidation according to tax law. In addition, the
Company has applied the use of accelerated depreciation and provisions
allowed by tax law, when the recognition for taxation purposes is
dependent on whether they are used for commercial purposes.
5. Currency translation
The translation of the balance sheets of subsidiaries denominated in
foreign currencies is made at the year end rate. Income statement
balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the average
annual exchange rate.
According to German Commercial Code, receivables from third parties and
unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates are valued at the lower of the
transaction date exchange rate or the year end rate. Payables to third
parties and unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates are valued at the
higher of the transaction or year end exchange rate.
Futures contracts to hedge third party firm sales commitments and
receivables are valued at the respective future rates.

The accruals for pension and other post-employment benefits represent
obligations of Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co from defined benefit pension
plans as well as termination indemnity obligations of Pfauter Italia
S.p.A. Pension accruals were not set up for former general managers and
surviving spouses amounting to TDM 6,146 and TDM 6,041 in 1996 and 1995
respectively due to the fact that these may not be set up for German tax
purposes. The other accrued expenses are primarily set up for personnel
related matters, warranty, contingent losses from open sales contracts
and outstanding invoices.

14. Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States
Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co complies with German accounting principles,
which differ in certain significant respects from accounting principles
currently accepted in the United States (US GAAP). The significant
differences that affect the consolidated net income and partners' capital
of Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co are set out below.
a. Pensions and Anniversary Awards:
According to Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") 87, "Employers'
Accounting for Pensions", future salary increases, inflation and other
factors must be taken into account for computation of the projected
benefit obligation using the projected unit credit method. The computed
German provision for Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co pension obligations is not
adjusted for future salary increases and has been computed using the
entry age normal method. In addition, certain pension obligations of
Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co have not been recorded as pension liabilities
in the consolidated financial statements, as allowed under German
accounting law. Such pension obligations are required to be recorded
according to FAS 87.
US GAAP also requires anniversary award obligations to be recorded for
using a computation method similar to that for pensions as noted above.
Certain anniversary award commitments of Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co have
not been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
b. Depreciation of Buildings:
US GAAP requires property, plant and equipment to be systematically
depreciated over the economic useful lives of the assets. However, in the
consolidated financial statements, depreciation on certain buildings
belonging to Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co includes additional special
depreciation charges allowed for tax purposes which are not a part of
normal depreciation.
c. Provisions for Trade Accounts Receivable:
In the consolidated financial statements, certain adjustments have been
made to establish additional general bad debt and other provisions for
subsidiaries in the United States and other foreign subsidiaries which
would be in excess of amounts allowed under US GAAP.
d. Foreign Currency Hedge Contracts:
Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co sells to group companies in US Dollar and
Italian Lire denominated invoices. In order to hedge the related
receivables and firm sales commitments, the Company enters into foreign
exchange forward contracts. Receivables from such group companies are
recorded by Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co at the forward contract rate. As
the subsidiary payable balances are translated at the year end rate in
consolidation, differences arise in eliminating intercompany balances
which are recorded directly into retained earnings.
Under US GAAP, the foreign currency denominated receivables would be
remeasured at the year end rate and the hedge contracts would be recorded
in the balance sheet at market values effectively offsetting the
receivable remeasurement gains and losses.
<PAGE>
(amounts in thousands, except where specified)
e. Special Reserves:
Under tax law, the Company has deferred a portion of the gain on assets sold
in years prior to 1994 and has reflected this deferral as a "special
account containing capital reserves" in the balance sheet. Under US GAAP,
such gains should be recognized at the time of sale.
f. Minority Interest:
Minority interest is considered a part of partners' capital under German
accounting rules whereby under US GAAP minority interest is to be shown
separately outside of the partner capital balances.
g. Consolidation of Engrenasa Maquinas Operatirizes Ltd.:
The 57% investment (40% in 1995 and 1994) in Engrenasa Maquinas
Operatirizes Ltd., Sorocaba, Brazil (Engrenasa), has been reflected in
the consolidated financial statements as an investment at cost (net of
value write downs) of DM 0.0 million (1995: 1.7 million and 1994: 3.2
million.) US GAAP normally requires the consolidation of such investments
(applying the equity method in 1995 and 1994). However, on June 4, 1997,
the investment was sold for one Deutschmark. As such, in order to reflect
the historical financial statement US GAAP balances of the continuing
business, adjustments have been made following to exclude the investment
values and related income effects of the Engrenasa operations.
Net Income and Partners' Capital:
The application of US GAAP, as described above, would have the following
approximate effects on consolidated net income and partners' capital.

15. Management and Management Board Remunerations
The total compensation of the general management of Hermann Pfauter GmbH
& Co amounted to DM 1,133 in 1996, DM 1,162 in 1995, and DM 1,096 in
1994. The remuneration of the Board of Directors for their activities as
legal representatives of associated companies amounted to DM 24 in 1996,
DM 23 in 1995 and DM 25 in 1994.
The compensation for the advisory council of the parent company amounted
to DM 130 for each of the years shown.
The total compensation for former general managers or their surviving
dependents amounted to DM 379 for 1996, DM 376 for 1995, and DM 367 for
1994.
The actuarial report for group pension obligations shows a necessary
accrual amounting to DM 3,071 for 1996, DM 3,289 for 1995, and DM 3,268.
<PAGE>
Directors' Report
Review of 1994 through 1996
1996 reflected positive operating and financial developments in the Group
with order intake of DM 239 million and a consolidated sales volume of
DM 265 million for the year. This positive trend is also reflected in the
growing profits being shown in the 1996 financial statements. The order
backlog at December 31, 1996 totaled DM 106 million.
In 1996 only 28% of the total sales volume was attributable to sales of
the original Pfauter hobbing machine product line whereas the importance
of the new product lines being offered since 1987 have grown to
contribute to 35% of the sales volume.
44% of sales were made in Western and Central Europe, a similar
percentage in North American, whereby only 12% of sales were made to
customers in the rest of the world.
Reflecting back on the past three years, 1994 results were the result of
the negative effects of the economic recession in the machine-tool
industry. The small backlog carried over from 1993 and the reduction of
new orders in the first half of 1994 meant that the Company's sales were
low despite expansion of the merchandising business in this year.
Although cost cutting exercises were completed, sales price reductions
together with further reductions in capacity utilization meant that the
losses incurred could not be further minimized.
However, due to the takeover of the gear-cutting division of the machine
manufacturer Mikron AG in Biel, Switzerland in 1994, the foreign
activities of the Pfauter Group could be extended considerably in Italy
and Switzerland.
Although Pfauter SrL also incurred a loss in 1994, it should be noted
that its activities were transferred at the time to the newly founded
Pfauter Italia SpA which reported approximate break-even results.
The American Pfauter Group developed positively in 1994 with positive
earnings being reported after incurring a loss in the previous year.
Pfauter-Maag Cutting Tools also showed improvement with increasing
profits in 1994.
1995 brought considerable improvements in sales volumes, and, contrary to
1994, the Group was able to show a profit in 1995. 1996 saw a further
growth in operating results and net income as noted previously.
The capital resources increased in 1996 by DM 2 million whereas the total
assets of the company remained relatively unchanged at DM 191 million.
In 1996, in a share redemption transaction $10.3 million net was paid out
by Pfauter-Maag Cutting Tools to other shareholders with the group share
of the remaining Pfauter-Maag Cutting Tools capital being 76.1%.
Excluding the financing needed to carry out this transaction, bank
liabilities and total liabilities declined substantially in 1996.
<PAGE>
General Situation
The tooling business continues to develop postively despite a few smaller
negative influences (lower contract intake in 1996, and the loss by the
Italian affiliate, Mecup). Since the beginning of 1997, order volumes
have increased considerably with an extrapolated sales volume for 1997 of
$50 million.
On the other hand, the machine business, particularly in the automobile
industry, continues to be sluggish. A drop in average sales prices per
unit of 30% from 1992 to 1996 for the smaller hobbing machines was
experienced. This, accompanied by a 13% increase in personnel costs in
Germany since 1992 has made it especially difficult to report positive
results for the Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co German business. It is however
hoped that the consolidated results for 1997 for the hobbing, shaping and
grinding machine businesses will be positive.
The competitors continue to exercise extremely elastic pricing policies.
Despite the 20% cost reduction achieved through the redesign of the P100
machine, it will be difficult to maintain the market share in this
sector. On the other hand, more selective acceptance of orders based on
projected margins has resulted in improved profits in 1996.
The grinding machine product line will be extended in both directions in
1997. One order for a 3m grinding machine and another one pending
together with our cooperation with Kapp has allowed the Company to invest
approximately DM 3 million in 1996 and 1997 in this new machine line. In
addition, in 1996 a machine variation of the already successful P100 was
developed in order to strengthen the Company's carbide hobbing position
with 75 machines already sold.
Unfortunately, this trend has resulted in a drastic reduction in the
number of required machines by customers (up to 50% reductions) whereas
the tooling business has automatically picked up to the advantage of
Pfauter-Maag Cutting Tools.
The expansion of the grinding machine product line has also opened up new
opportunities for Pfauter-Maag Cutting Tools since, through cooperation
with the company - Dr. Winter, a new plated grinding wheel is being
introduced to the market which will compete with Kapp.
In conclusion, the prospects for the tooling business are very positive
whereas the shrinking market for machines will continue to cause an
increasingly competitive marketplace for the Company's products.
Personnel
The Company's total workforce has increased by 60 persons between 1994
and 1996 to 1,066. The related personnel costs amounted to DM 97.1
million in 1996. It is anticipated that 1997 will bring a slight decrease
in the employee levels in the Pfauter Group.
<PAGE>
Research and Development
Research and development continues to play an important role in the
Pfauter Group with total expenses for 1996 amounting to DM 8.5 million.
This relates mainly to development performed at the Hermann Pfauter GmbH
& Co in Germany. Development was made primarily with regard to two
automobile machine types; a new shaping unit for a combined hobbing and
shaping machine SHOBBER and the future advancement of the grinding
machine online application.
Gleason
As announced to the public in August 1996, Pfauter Group shareholders are
currently negotiating with Gleason Corporation to sell the entire Pfauter
Group business to Gleason. Negotiations for this transaction continue and
are expected to be completed in the near future.

Item 7(b)
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Information
(Unaudited)
(A) The pro forma consolidated balance sheet (unaudited) at June 30,
1997 and pro forma consolidated statements of operations (unaudited)
for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the six months ended June
30, 1997 give pro forma effect to the acquisition by Gleason
Corporation ("Gleason") of Hermann Pfauter GmbH & Co. ("Pfauter") and
Pfauter-MaaG Cutting Tools Limited Partnership ("PMCT"). The pro
forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1996 and the six months ended June 30, 1997 present the
results of operations of Gleason as if the acquisition had been
consummated as of January 1, 1996. The pro forma consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 1997 has been prepared as if the transaction had
occurred on that date.
The pro forma financial information is based on the historical
financial statements of Gleason and Pfauter, giving effect to the
acquisition under the purchase method of accounting and the
assumptions and adjustments set forth in these notes. The pro forma
information and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements on which they are based. This
pro forma financial information may not be indicative of either
future results of operations or the results that actually would have
occurred if the acquisition had been consummated on the dates
indicated.
(B) Amounts for Pfauter have been translated from Deutsche Marks to
U.S. dollars as follows:
Balance Sheet - at the exchange rate in effect as of June 30, 1997
($1 = DM 1.75)
Statements of Operations - at the approximate average exchange rates
in effect during the year ended December 31, 1996 ($1 = DM 1.51)
and the six months ended June 30, 1997 ($1 = DM 1.69)
(C) Under purchase accounting, the assets and liabilities of the
acquired business are required to be adjusted from historical amounts
to their estimated fair values. Purchase accounting adjustments have
been preliminarily estimated by Gleason's management based upon
available information and are believed by management to be
reasonable. There can be no assurance, however, that the final
purchase accounting adjustments that will ultimately be determined by
Gleason's management will not differ from these estimates. The
following pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect the
estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities of Pfauter
assumed in the acquisition:
<PAGE>
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Adjustments: (in thousands)
Increase
(Decrease)
<S> <C>
Cash and equivalents ($21,000) <F1>
Trade accounts receivable (212) <F2>
Inventories 3,279 <F2>
Other current assets (3,376) <F3>
Property, plant and equipment 34,821 <F2>
Other assets 13,962 <F4>
Deferred income taxes 1,700 <F5>
Short-term borrowings (25,500) <F1>
Current portion of long-term debt (6,431) <F1>
Other current liabilities 10,879 <F6>
Long-term debt 43,652 <F1>
Other liabilities (1,240) <F7>
Partners equity 7,814 <F8>
<FN>
<F1> The reduction in cash and equivalents represents the use of
available cash on hand as of June 30, 1997 to reduce the debt
associated with the acquisition. The reductions in short-term
borrowings and current portion of long-term debt represent the
repayment of certain Pfauter debt as part of the acquisition and the
refinancing of other outstanding Pfauter debt under Gleason's new
revolving and term credit facility. The increase in long-term debt
includes Gleason's financing of the $34.8 million purchase price
(partially offset by the use of the cash on hand at June 30) and the
refinancing of Pfauter's short-term borrowings and current portion of
long-term debt under Gleason's revolving and term credit facility.
<F2> The reduction in trade accounts receivable and increases in
inventories and property, plant and equipment represent the
adjustments required to record the assets of Pfauter at estimated
fair market values. The increase in property, plant and equipment
includes an increase to the carrying value of land of $9.4 million
based on independent market appraisals.
<F3> The reduction in other current assets includes the
reclassification of $1.2 million of acquisition costs incurred by
Gleason through June 30, 1997 which, under purchase accounting, are
considered to be part of the purchase price. The reduction in other
current assets also includes the elimination of a note receivable due
from the minority interest partners of PMCT which was included in
Pfauter's June 30 balance sheet. This note was repaid by the partners
to the partnership as part of the acquisition.
<F4> The increase in other assets represents the net adjustment
required to reduce certain license rights and goodwill recorded in
Pfauter's balance sheet at June 30, 1997 to estimated fair market
values under Gleason's ownership (a reduction of approximately $4.7
million) and the recognition of goodwill associated with the
acquisition (approximately $18.7 million). The goodwill will be
amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 30 years.
<PAGE>
<F5> The increase in deferred income taxes (a non-current asset)
represents the estimated tax effect associated with the recording
of the acquired assets and liabilities.
<F6> The increase in other current liabilities includes $9.0 million
for the rationalization of the Pfauter business into Gleason's
existing operations. These costs have been included as a component
of the purchase price based on Gleason's intention to consolidate
certain Pfauter operating activities into Gleason operations. This
amount represents a preliminary estimate based on currently available
information and may be adjusted as more specific plans become
finalized. The increase in other current liabilities also includes
accruals for estimated additional costs (including legal and
accounting fees) associated with the acquisition.
<F7> The reduction in other liabilities represents the elimination of the
minority interest liability of PMCT (Pfauter owned 76 percent of the equity
of PMCT). Gleason acquired 100 percent ownership interest in PMCT in
the acquisition.
<F8> The increase in partners equity represents the removal of the
net deficit in Pfauter Partners' equity as of June 30, 1997.
</FN>
</TABLE>
(D) For purposes of determining the estimated pro forma effect of
the acquisition of Pfauter on the Gleason Consolidated Statement of
Operations, the following pro forma adjustments have been made:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Increase (Decrease) Net Income
(in thousands) Year ended Six Months Ended
12/31/96 6/30/97
<S> <C> <C>
Lower dealer commission expense
due to termination of dealer contracts $ 323 $ 142
Higher depreciation resulting from
adjustments to fair value of
property, plant and equipment (151) (79)
Higher amortization expense resulting
from the recognition of goodwill
associated with the acquisition (499) (217)
Higher net interest expense associated
with higher debt due to the acquisition
financing, partially offset by a reduction
of the interest expense due to lower rates
under refinanced debt (1,545) (782)
Income tax (provision) benefit on Pfauter
operations and pro forma adjustments (374) 1,230
Minority interest removal 1,444 799
Total adjustment to net income $ (802) $ 1,093
</TABLE>
<PAGE>
With the acquisition, certain of Pfauter's outside dealer
representative relationships have been terminated. The reduction in
commission expense represents the estimated savings for 1996 and six
months of 1997 due to the replacement of these outside dealers with
existing Gleason direct sales representation.
The higher expenses for depreciation and amortization are the result
of the increase in bases of both tangible assets (plant and
equipment) and intangible assets (goodwill). The higher depreciation
expense due to the increase in basis of plant and equipment was
partially offset by a reduction to expense due to the change from
accelerated to straight-line depreciation methods for the Pfauter
operations. The higher amortization expense associated with goodwill
recorded in the acquisition was partially offset by the removal of
amortization of intangibles which were included in Pfauter operating
results but which were removed from the opening balance sheet.
The increase in interest expense consists of two components.
Interest expense increased with the additional outstanding debt (and
lower cash balances) due to the acquisition financing. This increase was
partially offset with a reduction in Pfauter's interest expense due
to the refinancing, at lower average borrowing rates, of Pfauter's
debt under the Company's revolving and term credit facilities.
Interest rate assumptions used in the calculation of this pro forma
adjustment were based on current average borrowing rates. Management
estimated interest expense on the additional debt using an average
borrowing cost of 5.25%. The reduction of interest expense on Pfauter
historical borrowings was based on an estimated 1.0% reduction in
average borrowing rates due to the refinancing of the Pfauter debt.
The provision for income taxes represents the adjustment to record
income taxes for the inclusion of Pfauter operations within the
consolidated operations of Gleason Corporation and subsidiaries.
Management has estimated the tax provision considering the Pfauter
operational results and pro forma adjustments for the relevant taxing
jurisdictions.
The minority interest reduction to net income was eliminated due to
the fact that, as part of the acquisition, Gleason acquired 100 percent
ownership interest in PMCT. As such, there is no minority interest in
PMCT operating results under Gleason ownership.
The pro forma adjustments to the Statement of Operations do not
include any positive adjustments for increased sales or additional
cost reductions associated with the synergies of the combined
business. In addition, there are no positive adjustments included
for benefits expected from the rationalization of the Pfauter
operations. These effects are considered to be of a forecasted
nature and as such, are not permissible as pro forma adjustments.
(E) Subsequent Event: On August 28, 1997, the Board of Directors
declared a two-for-one (2-for-1) stock split on the Company's common
stock, including shares held in its treasury, effected in the form of
a 100% common stock distribution payable on September 26, 1997 to
holders of record on September 12, 1997. The distribution on
September 26, 1997 increased the number of shares issued from 5,797,070
to 11,594,140, which includes an increase in treasury stock from 820,614
to 1,641,228. Common stock and additional paid-in capital as of June 30,
1997 have been restated to reflect this split. In addition, all share
and per share data have been restated to reflect the split.
