                           (Unaudited)


General

The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Financial Data are based upon the 1995 Consolidated Balance Sheet
and Consolidated Statement of Operations of Raytech Corporation
("Raytech") included in its 1995 Form 10-K and the unaudited
Combined Balance Sheet of Advanced Friction materials (d/b/a
AFM), AFM Management Company and The Land and Building at 44650
Merrill, Sterling Heights, Michigan ("Combined AFM") as of
January 31, 1996 and the Combined Statement of Operations and
Equity of Combined AFM for the twelve months then ended, adjusted
to give effect to the Transactions (as defined below).

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
assumes the Transactions were completed on December 31, 1995. 
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Operations assumes
the Transactions were completed as of January 1, 1995.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Data do not purport
to be indicative of the results that would actually have been
obtained if the Transactions had occurred on the dates indicated
or of the results that may be obtained in the future.  The
unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Data are presented for
comparative purposes only.  The pro forma adjustments, as
described in the accompanying data, are based on available
information and certain assumptions that management believes are
reasonable.

The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data assumes
allocation of purchase price to assets acquired based upon the
stated values included in the various agreements between the
parties.  Such amounts are preliminary and are subject to
revision based upon independent appraisal and other valuation
studies.

The Transactions

On January 31, 1996, Raytech Composites, Inc. ("Composites"), a
subsidiary of Raytech, and Raybestos Products Company ("RPC"), a
subsidiary of Composites, entered into a series of related

on January 31, 1997; RPC loaned AFM $1.3 million cash at closing
bearing interest at the prime rate and maturing on January 31,
2003; RPC agreed to acquire AFM's inventory at cost subsequent to

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         This summary of significant accounting policies of Advanced Friction
         Materials Company (d/b/a AFM), AFM Management Company and the Land and
         Building at 44650 Merrill, Sterling Heights, Michigan is presented to
         assist in understanding the Company's financial statements.  The
         financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's
         management which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. 
         These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting
         principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the
         financial statements.

         Business Activity

         The companies apply a process which adheres friction material to metal
         machine parts.  These parts are mainly used in the automotive industry.

         Equipment and Improvements

         Equipment and improvements are carried at cost.  Major replacements and
         refurbishings are charged to the property accounts while replacements,
         maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the
         respective assets are expensed currently.

         Depreciation and Amortization

         Depreciation and amortization of buildings, leasehold improvements and
         automobiles is calculated by use of straight-line and accelerated
         methods over useful lives of 3 to 39 years.

         Inventories

         Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
         market value.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED:

         Income Taxes

         Effective May 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
         Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to
         financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.  The difference
         between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities
         is determined annually.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
         computed for those differences that have future tax consequences using
         the currently enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the periods in
         which they are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances
         are established, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to the
         amount that will more likely than not be realized.  Income tax expense
         is the current tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus
         the net change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Income
         taxes are based on income reported for financial statement purposes
         which differs from income reported for tax purposes principally because

NOTE 6 - STOCK REPURCHASE:

         On February 16, 1990, the Company redeemed the stock of a 49%
         stockholder.  For purposes of the redemption, the Board of Directors
         valued the assets and liabilities of the Corporation at "fair
         valuation", as permitted under the Michigan Business Corporation Act. 
         While the amount of stockholders' equity exceeded the cost of the
         stock, based on the valuation permitted by the Michigan Business
         Corporation Act, the amount of the redemption exceeded the
         stockholders' equity as recorded under generally accepted accounting
         principles at the time of the redemption.  The amount shown as retained
         earnings is the amount accumulated since the date of the redemption.


NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES:

         Deferred income taxes are provided for timing differences between
         financial statements and income tax reporting.  The deferred income tax
         asset arises principally from the use of the straight-line depreciation
         method for financial reporting purposes and the accelerated cost
         recovery depreciation method for income tax purposes and nondeductible
         accrued vacation pay.  

         The provision for federal income taxes consists of the following:

          Taxes currently refundable                         $(300,000)
          Deferred tax expense                                 104,000

                                                             $(196,000)


NOTE 8 - MERGER OF SSW HOLDINGS, INC.:

         On April 1, 1995, the Company completed a merger with its parent
         company, SSW Holdings, Inc. (SSW).  Stockholders of SSW exchanged their
         stock for an equal number of shares of Company stock, which was held
         by SSW.  The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and was not
         material to the financial position or results of operations of the
         Company as of January 30, 1996.

         fixtures and leasehold improvements were sold to another corporation
         for $3,800,000.  The agreement also calls for the inventory to be sold

     NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
     
             This summary of significant accounting policies of Advanced
             Friction Materials Company (d/b/a AFM), AFM Management Company
             and the Land and Building at 44650 Merrill, Sterling Heights,
             Michigan is presented to assist in understanding the Company's
             financial statements.  The financial statements and notes are
             representations of the Company's management which is responsible
             for their integrity and objectivity.  These accounting policies
             conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have
             been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
             statements.
     
             Business Activity
     
             The companies apply a process which adheres friction material to
             metal machine parts.  These parts are mainly used in the
             automotive industry.
     
             Equipment and Improvements
     
             Equipment and improvements are carried at cost.  Major
             replacements and refurbishings are charged to the property
             accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do
             not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are
             expensed currently.
     
             Depreciation and Amortization
     
             Depreciation and amortization of buildings, office furniture,
             leasehold improvements, automobiles and equipment is calculated
             by use of straight-line and accelerated methods over useful
             lives of 3 to 39 years.
     
             Inventories
     
             Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) 
             or market value.

     NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED:
     
              Income Taxes
     
              Effective May 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109,
              Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and
              liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for
              income taxes.  The difference between the financial statement
              and tax bases of assets and liabilities is determined annually. 
              Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for
              those differences that have future tax consequences using the
              currently enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the periods
              in which they are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation
              allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce the deferred
              tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be
              realized.  Income tax expense is the current tax payable or
              refundable for the period plus or minus the net change in the
              deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Income taxes are based on
              income reported for financial statement purposes which differs
              from income reported for tax purposes principally because of the
              methods of recognizing depreciation expense and vacation
              expense.  Deferred income taxes have been provided for timing
              differences.
     
              Research and Development Costs
     
              The Company maintains the policy of charging research and
              development costs to expense as they occur.
     
     
     NOTE 2 - NOTE PAYABLE - BANK:
     
              Note payable - bank, due on demand under a line of credit
              agreement.  Interest only payments are due monthly at the
              prevailing prime rate.  A security interest in all assets of the
              Company including, but not limited to, accounts receivable,
              contract rights, general intangibles, inventory, equipment and
              proceeds thereof, have been pledged as collateral.

       NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
                         APRIL 30, 1995
                                 
     
     
     
     NOTE 7 - STOCK REPURCHASE:
     
              On February 16, 1990, the Company redeemed the stock of a 49%
              stockholder.  For purposes of the redemption, the Board of
              Directors valued the assets and liabilities of the Corporation
              at "fair valuation", as permitted under the Michigan Business
              Corporation Act.  While the amount of stockholders' equity
              exceeded the cost of the stock, based on the valuation permitted
              by the Michigan Business Corporation Act, the amount of the
              redemption exceeded the stockholders' equity as recorded under
              generally accepted accounting principles at the time of the
              redemption.  The amount shown as retained earnings is the amount
              accumulated since the date of the redemption.
     
     
     NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES:
     
              Deferred income taxes are provided for timing differences
              between financial statements and income tax reporting.  The
              deferred income tax liability arises principally from the use of
              the straight-line depreciation method for financial reporting
              purposes and the accelerated cost recovery depreciation method
              for income tax purposes.  
     
              The provision for federal income taxes consists of the
              following:
     
              Current provision                                   $358,000
              Deferred provision                                    78,420
     
                                                                  $436,420
     
     
     NOTE 9 - MERGER OF SSW HOLDINGS, INC.:
     
              On April 1, 1995, the Company completed a merger with its parent
              company, SSW Holdings, Inc. (SSW).  Stockholders of SSW
              exchanged their stock for an equal number of shares of Company
              stock, which was held by SSW.  The transaction was accounted for
              as a purchase and was not material to the financial position or
              results of operations of the Company as of April 30, 1995.
