      PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED)
                        FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
                              ($ AMOUNTS IN 000'S)

 The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
 operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, gives effect to the
 Defiance, Inc. ("Defiance") sale of the stock of its subsidiary, Vaungarde,
 Inc. ("Vaungarde") for $2,829 in cash, $413 of assigned liquid assets and $950
 of notes receivable, as if the disposition had taken place on July 1, 1995. The
 pro forma information is based on the historical consolidated financial
 statements of Defiance under the assumptions set forth in the accompanying
 notes to the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. The
 unaudited pro forma information is before the charge for business to be sold of
 approximately $2,600 on the sale of Vaungarde.

  The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and may
 not be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the
 disposition taken place on July 1, 1995. This statement should be read in
 conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of
 Defiance, Inc. filed with the SEC in its annual report on Form 10-K for the
 fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. A pro forma balance sheet is not presented as
 the historical balance sheet included in the 10-K filing already reflects the
 effect of the divestiture.
