PART I, ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SUDBURY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three month period ended August 31,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending May 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 1996.

        Net income per common share was calculated by dividing net income
applicable to common stock by the average number of shares of common stock
outstanding and common stock equivalents under the treasury stock method.
Effective August 30, 1996, the trigger price for the Company's 1,448,410 Series
C Participation Certificates was attained and these certificates became
exercisable. As the Series C Participation Certificates were triggered on August
30, 1996, the weighted average impact on net income per common share at August
31, 1996 from the inclusion of these securities was not material.

PART I, ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SUDBURY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE C -- CONTINGENCIES  (CONTINUED)
         All operating locations acquired by the Company since 1984 operate in a
variety of locations where environmental situations could exist based on current
or past operations. Certain operating and non-operating subsidiaries of the
Company have been named as potentially responsible parties liable for cleanup of
known environmental conditions. For known situations, the Company, with the
assistance of environmental engineers and consultants, has accrued amounts to
cover estimated future environmental expenditures. The Company has initiated
corrective action and/or preventative environmental projects to ensure the safe
and lawful operation of its facilities. There could exist, however, more
extensive or unknown environmental situations at existing or previously owned
businesses for which the future cost is not known or accrued at August 31, 1996.

         While the ultimate result of the above contingencies cannot be
predicted with certainty, management does not expect these matters to have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of
operations, or liquidity of the Company.

         The Company has an employment agreement with Jacques R. Sardas, its
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, which extends through January
1998. The agreement provides that if Mr. Sardas' employment is terminated other
than for cause, or from Mr. Sardas' death or disability, the Company continues
to be obligated to pay Mr. Sardas the fair value of the common stock underlying
the 1,764,706 options he was granted under his 1992 Employment Agreement (the
"Option Stock"). At Mr. Sardas' election the Company is also obligated to
purchase the Option Stock at fair value in five separate approximately
semi-annual installments commencing February 7, 1996 through January 13, 1998.
Under the employment agreement, fair value is determined based on quoted prices
on the principal stock exchange on which the Company's Common Stock is traded.
Mr. Sardas generally may delay his right to sell any installment of the Option
Stock until the next succeeding purchase date. If at that next succeeding
purchase date Mr. Sardas does not tender such shares of Option Stock, the
Company's obligation to purchase the Option Stock with respect to such
installment will terminate. Mr. Sardas has not exercised his right to have the
Company purchase the Option Stock subject to the February 7, 1996 or July 13,
1996 installment dates and the Company's obligation with respect to the February
7, 1996 installment date has terminated. The Company is the beneficiary of a
key-man life insurance policy on Mr. Sardas' life in the amount of $14,000,000.
The proceeds of the policy would be used to fulfill the Company's obligation in
the event of Mr. Sardas' death.

PART I, ITEM 2, MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUDBURY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1995

         SALES. The Company's net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997
increased by 1% to $72.1 million from $71.2 million in the prior year quarter.
Fiscal 1996 first quarter results included sales of $6.0 million from South
Coast Terminals, Inc. ("South Coast") prior to its divestiture in December 1995.
After adjusting for the impact of the sale of South Coast, sales from the
Company's other five subsidiaries increased in the first quarter of fiscal 1997
by $6.8 million or 10% over the prior year quarter. The Company's Frisby P.M.C.,
Industrial Powder Coatings ("IPC") and Iowa Mold Tooling subsidiaries all
experienced sales increases. Sales at Wagner Castings Company ("Wagner") were
relatively flat when compared to the prior year period, reflecting the phase out
of its malleable castings operations.

         The $6.8 million of comparable company sales improvement resulted from
a $4.0 million increase in net new business, $.5 million of price increases and
a $2.3 increase in sales of existing products.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 1997
decreased by $1.1 million to $9.9 million from $11.0 million. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales was 13.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared
to 15.5% in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in the
margin rate resulted from: a) the sale of South Coast, whose gross margins were
higher than the average for the Company's other subsidiaries, b) the impact of
$2.1 million higher pass-through steel blank material costs at IPC due to
increased volume, and c) planned start-up costs of $.7 million associated with
Wagner's new ductile iron casting line and IPC's new facility in Monterrey,
Mexico.

         SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased from 9.0% in the prior year
quarter to 7.6% for the current quarter. In terms of dollars, such expenses
decreased from $6.4 million in the prior year quarter to $5.5 million in the
current year quarter. The decrease resulted from expenses related to South Coast
and an accrual for a contractual bonus obligation paid in January 1996, both of
which were included in the prior year quarter.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased by $.4 million due to
significantly reduced debt levels and capitalized interest of $.2 million on the
Wagner and IPC capital projects discussed above.

PART I, ITEM 2, MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUDBURY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

         During the first three months of fiscal 1997, operating activities used
cash of $6.6 million. In the prior year period, operating activities provided
cash of $.2 million. The difference was a result of an increase in working
capital.

         Long-term debt (including current maturities) at August 31, 1996 was
$10.5 million, which compared to $10.4 million at May 31, 1996. Long-term debt
represented 14% of long-term debt plus stockholders' equity at both August 31,
1996 and May 31, 1996. At August 31, 1996, the Company had the ability to borrow
$38.7 million under its revolving credit facility.

         Capital expenditures were $3.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1997 compared with $2.5 million in the prior year quarter. The Company expects
capital expenditures for fiscal 1997 to be less than the $22.6 million made in
fiscal 1996. Capital expenditures for Wagner's new ductile iron casting line and
IPC's plant in Monterrey, Mexico of in excess of $15 million were made in fiscal
1996. Projects of this magnitude are not planned for fiscal 1997.

         The Company believes that funds available under its current bank
facility and funds generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its
anticipated operating needs and capital improvements for the remainder of the
fiscal year.

OTHER MATTERS
- -------------

         Approximately 60% of the Company's sales are dependent on the
automotive and light truck markets in the United States and Europe; therefore,
related profits will be dependent on sales of vehicles in these markets for the
remainder of the year.

         Effective August 30, 1996, the trigger price for the Company's
1,448,410 Series C Participation Certificates was attained and these
certificates are currently exercisable at $5.165 per share. Such exercise price
increases annually. As the Series C Participation Certificates were triggered on
August 30, 1996, the weighted average impact on net income per common share at
August 31, 1996 from the inclusion of these securities was not material. In the
future, to the extent the Series C Participation Certificates are exercised by
their holders, these securities will be included in the average number of shares
of common stock outstanding. To the extent the Series C Participation
Certificates are not exercised, these securities will be accounted for under the
treasury stock method in computing net income per common share.
