                    WESTERBEKE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 (Unaudited)

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
- -----------------------------------------------

A.  Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by Westerbeke Corporation (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
While certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations, the Company believes that the disclosures made herein are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is
recommended that these condensed statements are read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 23,
1999.

In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of
Westerbeke Corporation and Subsidiary as of January 22, 2000, the results of
their operations and the cash flows, have been included.

B.  Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Westerbeke International, Inc. (a
Foreign Sales Corporation).  All significant intercompany transactions and
accounts have been eliminated.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133).
The statement requires companies to recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities with the instruments measured at fair value. The
accounting for changes in fair value gains and losses depends on the
intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation.  The statement
is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 133 will have a
material impact on the financial statements.

C.  Earnings per Share

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for
the period.  Diluted income per share reflects the maximum dilution that
would have resulted from the exercise of stock options.  Diluted income per
share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares and all dilutive securities, except when the effect would be
antidilutive.

</TABLE>


2.  Inventories
- ---------------

     The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to value
inventory.

      Inventories are comprised of the following:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                       January 22,   October 23,
                          2000          1999
                       -------------------------

<S>                    <C>           <C>
Raw materials          $6,111,600    $4,539,800
Work-in-process           694,500       762,400
Finished goods          1,069,000       338,000
                       ------------------------
                       $7,875,100    $5,640,200
                       ========================
</TABLE>

The Company has estimated both the year-end inventory levels and the
inflation/deflation that will occur during the fiscal year.

The Company anticipates an increase in its LIFO valuation account as of
October 21, 2000.  Accordingly, the Company has recorded an increase of
$22,500, on a pro rata basis, in the LIFO reserve during the first three
months of fiscal 2000.  During the first three months of 1999, the Company
recorded, on a pro rata basis, an increase of $22,500 in the LIFO reserve.
Inventories would have been $1,101,100 higher at January 22, 2000 and
$1,078,600 higher as of October 23, 1999, if the first- in, first-out (FIFO)
method had been used.  Inventory cost determination on the FIFO method
approximates replacement or current cost.

3.  Comprehensive Income
- ------------------------

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business
enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from nonowner sources.  It includes all changes in equity
during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners.  The components of total comprehensive loss
resulting from unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities for the
three months ended January 22, 2000 and January 23, 1999 are as follows:

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis Of Financial
- ----------------------------------------------------------
         Condition and Results Of Operations
         -------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations -
- -----------------------

Net sales increased by $3,344,300 or 61%, during the first quarter of fiscal
2000 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1999.  The increase in net
sales is primarily attributable to higher unit volume of the Company's
product line.

Gross profit increased $1,193,600 or 125% during the first quarter of fiscal
2000 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1999.  As a percentage of net
sales, gross profit was 24% during the first quarter of fiscal 2000, as
compared to 18% during the first quarter of fiscal 1999.  The increase in
the gross profit percentage is primarily attributable to the increase in net
sales attributable to favorable market conditions and a decrease in
manufacturing costs as a result of manufacturing efficiencies.

Operating expenses increased $406,500 or 35% for the first quarter of fiscal
2000 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1999.   The increase is
primarily attributable to the hiring of additional personnel and related
costs to support the increase in net sales.  As a percentage of net sales,
operating expenses were 18% during the first quarter of fiscal 2000, as
compared to 21% during the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

Net interest and dividend income decreased $27,300 during the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1999.  The decrease
in interest is primarily due to a decrease in dividends earned on marketable
securities.

Other expense decreased $20,300 during the first quarter of fiscal 2000 as
compared to the same period in fiscal 1999.  Other expense in both periods
is comprised of the realized loss from the sale of certain marketable
securities.

For the quarter ended January 22, 2000, the Company reported a net income of
$353,400, compared to a net loss of $110,500 for the same period in fiscal
1999.  The increase in the net income is primarily attributable to the
increase in net sales and improved gross profit margins during the quarter.


                    WESTERBEKE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

During the first three months of fiscal 2000, net cash used by operations
was $1,650,100, compared to $879,200 for the first three months in fiscal
1999.  Net accounts receivable increased $1,178,300 during the first quarter
of fiscal 2000, as compared to an increase of $49,900 in the same period in
fiscal 1999, primarily from the increase in net sales.  Net inventory
increased $1,265,800 during the first quarter of fiscal 2000, as compared to
the same period in fiscal 1999, primarily from the timing of inventory
purchases.

During the three months ended January 22, 2000, the Company purchased
machinery and equipment of $260,800.  The Company plans to spend
approximately $500,000 more on equipment during the remainder of the year.
In addition, the Company has entered into an agreement to purchase a 110,000
square foot facility located in Taunton, Massachusetts.  This facility will
enable the Company to consolidate its current operations into one location.
The MassDevelopment Financing Agency has approved the Company for a
$5,000,000 tax-exempt industrial revenue bond, which will be financed
through GE Capital Public Finance.  The term of the loan is fifteen years at
a fixed rate of 6.46%.  The purchase of the facility is scheduled for mid
April and is subject to the fulfillment of customary closing conditions.
The aggregate cost of the facility and related improvements is estimated to
be $5,000,000.  The Company does not anticipate any material disruption to
its normal operation during this transition period.  It is anticipated that
by the fall of 2000 the Company will be fully operating from its new
location, although there can be no assurance that delays or disruptions to
operations will not occur.

The Company has a $4,000,000 Credit Agreement with Citizens Bank of
Massachusetts, collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable and general
intangibles. The Credit Agreement was renewed on March 31, 1999, and will
expire on March 31, 2000.  At January 22, 2000, the Company had $400,000 in
outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement and approximately $558,500
committed to cover the Company's reimbursement obligations under certain
letters of credit and bankers' acceptances.  Management is in the process of
renewing the Credit Agreement and anticipates bank approval, although there
can be no assurance that the facility will be renewed.

The company's two term loans with a bank aggregate of $295,900, will be paid
in monthly installments to 2001-2002.

Management believes cash flow from operations and borrowings available under
the Credit Agreement will provide for working capital needs, principal
payments on long-term debt, and capital and operating leases through fiscal
2000.

Domestic inflation is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's operations.

The cost of engine blocks and other components is subject to foreign
currency fluctuations (primarily the Japanese yen).  The value of the U.S.
dollar relative to the yen had no material effect on the cost of the
Company's products during the first quarter of fiscal 2000.


Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

In fiscal years 1998 and 1999 the Company had developed a plan to reduce the
probability of operational difficulties due to Year 2000 related failures.
The components of the Company's plan included an assessment of internal
systems for modification and/or replacement, communication with vendors to
determine their state of readiness to maintain an uninterrupted supply of
goods and services to the Company; an evaluation of the Company's production
equipment as to its ability to function properly after the turn of the
century; an evaluation of facility related issues; and the development of a
contingency plan.  As of March 1, 2000 the Company has not experienced any
Year 2000 issues.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking information
about the Company.  The Company is hereby setting forth statements
identifying important factors that may cause the Company's actual results to
differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statements
made by the Company.  Some of the most significant factors include: an
unanticipated down-turn in the recreational boating industry resulting in
lower demand for the Company's products; the unanticipated loss of, or
decline in sales to, a major customer; the unanticipated loss of a major
supplier; the inability of the Company to effect required modifications of
its products to meet governmental regulations with respect to emission
standards; foreign currency fluctuations resulting in cost increases to the
Company for its foreign supplied components; and any unforeseen
inefficiencies arising from the transition to the new facility.
Accordingly, there can be no assurances that any anticipated future results
will be achieved.


Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
         ----------------------------------------------------------

Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of short-term
investments and financial instruments caused by fluctuations in investment
prices and interest rates.

The Company addresses market risks in accordance with established policies.
The Company's risk-management activities involve risk and uncertainties and
accordingly, results could differ materially from those projected.

Investment Price Risk
- ---------------------

The value of the Company's investment portfolio at January 22, 2000 is
stated at market value.

Interest Rate Risk
- ------------------

Due to the fact that the long-term debt will mature within three years,
management has determined that the fair value would not be materially
different from the carrying value at January 22, 2000.

Part II.  Other Information

  Item 1  Legal Proceedings
  -------------------------

      The Company has initiated arbitration with the American Arbitration
      Association in New York against Daihatsu Motor Company, Ltd.
      ("Daihatsu") for breach of contract and other claims.  The Company is
      seeking damages based on Daihatsu's breach of a Component Sales
      Agreement which also granted the Company rights to certain engines
      including an engine Daihatsu began marketing in 1993 through a joint
      venture with Briggs & Stratton Corporation.  In a separate but related
      case pending in the Federal District Court for the District of
      Massachusetts, the Company is seeking damages from Briggs & Stratton
      Corporation for tortious interference with the Company's Agreement
      with Daihatsu and other related claims.
