                                HAWK CORPORATION
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                 MARCH 31, 1997

1.    Basis of Presentation
      ---------------------

The accompanying unaudited 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 (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Form S-4
(Registration No. 333-18433) for Hawk Corporation (the "Company") for the year
ended December 31, 1996.

Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
and common share equivalents (warrants) outstanding during the respective
periods. Earnings available to common shareholders includes an adjustment for
preferred stock dividends paid during the respective periods

The Company operates in one principal business segment, the design, engineering,
manufacturing and marketing of friction products and precision-engineered
components for aerospace, industrial and other specialty applications.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries and also include, effective January 2, 1997, the
accounts of Hutchinson Products Corporation. (See Note 3). All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying
financial statements.

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

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The major components of inventories are as
follows (dollars in thousands):

3.    Acquisitions
      ------------

Effective January 2, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of Houghton Acquisition Corporation and merged it into the newly formed
Hutchinson Products Corporation (Hutchinson) for (1) $10.4 million in cash; (2)
$1.5 million in 8.0% two-year convertible notes; and (3) contingent payments to
be made by the Company if Hutchinson meets certain earnings targets. The
acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. The excess of the purchase
price over the estimated fair value of the capital stock acquired in the amount
of $7.7 million is being amortized over 30 years and is included in intangible
assets. The results of operations of Hutchinson are included in the Company's
consolidated statements of income since the date of acquisition. Hutchinson's
principal business is the production and sale of rotors for use in small
horsepower motors and, to a lesser extent, the machining and sale of aluminum
extrusions and castings, principally fan spacers used by engine manufacturers
and gas nozzles used in gasoline pumping units.

The proforma unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 give effect to the above acquisition as though it had
occurred on January 1, 1996 and include certain adjustments, such as additional
amortization expense as a result of goodwill and deferred financing costs,
increased depreciation expense as a result of the write-up of certain machinery
and equipment to its fair value and increased interest expense related to debt
incurred for the acquisition.

</TABLE>

Proforma net sales and net income are not necessarily indicative of the net
sales and net income that would have occurred had the acquisition been made at
the beginning of the respective year or the results which may occur in the
future.

4.    Long-Term Debt
      --------------

In November 1996, the Company issued $100,000,000 in Senior Notes due on
December 1, 2003, unless previously redeemed, at the Company's option, in
accordance with the terms of the Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually on
June 1 and December 1 of each year commencing June 1, 1997, at a fixed rate of
10.25%. Substantially all of the  Senior Notes were exchanged for the Exchange 
Notes on April 21, 1997. The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all
material respects to the terms of the Senior Notes, except that the Exchange
Notes are freely transferable with certain limited exceptions by their holders.
The Exchange Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and
several basis by each of the direct or 



                                       8
<PAGE>   9



indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company (Guarantor
Subsidiaries). (See Note 7).

5.    Contingencies
      -------------

The Company has wage continuation agreements with two of its
officers/shareholders. In the event the officer/shareholder dies or becomes
permanently disabled while employed by the Company, each agreement provides for
payments to be made annually to the officer/shareholder's spouse based on a
compensation formula, until the spouse's death.

6.    Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
      -----------------------------------------

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share. The overall
objective of SFAS is to simplify the calculation of earnings per share (EPS) and
achieve comparability with international accounting standards. SFAS No. 128 is
effective in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 1997 for the Company.
Subsequent to the effective date, all prior period EPS amounts are required to
be restated to conform to the provisions of Statement 128. The adoption of SFAS
No. 128 is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements or results of operations.

7.    Supplemental Guarantor Information
      ----------------------------------

As discussed in Note 4, each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries has fully and
unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis the obligation to pay
principal, premium, if any and interest with respect to the Notes. The Guarantor
Subsidiaries are direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

The following supplemental unaudited consolidating condensed financial 
statements present (in thousands):

         1.   Consolidating condensed balance sheets as of March 31, 1997 and
              December 31, 1996, consolidating condensed statements of income
              for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 and
              consolidating condensed statements of cash flows for the three
              months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

         2.   Hawk Corporation (Parent), combined Guarantor Subsidiaries and
              combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries (consisting of the Company's
              subsidiaries in Canada and Italy) with their investments in
              subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method.

         3.   Elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent and all of
              its subsidiaries.

Management does not believe that separate financial statements of the Guarantor
Subsidiaries of the Notes are material to investors. Therefore, separate
financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries
are not presented. The Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants that, among
other things, would prohibit 


                                       9
<PAGE>   10




the payment of any dividends to the Company by the subsidiaries of the Company
(including Guarantor Subsidiaries) in the event of a default under the terms 
of the Revolving Credit Facility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this report.

GENERAL

Hawk designs, engineers, manufactures and markets friction products (75.6% of
sales in the first quarter of 1997) and precision-engineered components (24.4%).
The Company is a leading worldwide supplier of friction products for brakes,
clutches and transmissions used in aerospace, industrial and specialty
applications. The Company is also a leading supplier of precision engineered
components primarily made from powder metals, including pump elements, gears,
transmission plates, pistons and anti-lock brake sensor rings, used in
industrial applications. The Company focuses on manufacturing products requiring
sophisticated engineering and production techniques for applications in
aerospace and specialty industrial markets where it has achieved a major market
position.

Since 1989, Hawk has pursued a strategic plan of fostering growth by making
complementary acquisitions and broadening its customer base. All of Hawk's
acquisitions, including the acquisition of Hutchinson which was closed on
January 2, 1997, were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting,
with the purchase price allocated to the estimated fair market value of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In the acquisitions, any excess of the
purchase price paid over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired
was allocated to goodwill, which resulted in approximately $29.7 million of
goodwill reflected on the March 31, 1997 balance sheet. The annual amortization
of goodwill will result in non-cash charges to future operations of
approximately $1.5 million per year (of which the majority of such amortization
is deductible for tax purposes) based on amortization periods ranging from 15
to 40 years.

ACQUISITION

On January 2, 1997 the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
Hutchinson for (1) $10.4 million in cash; (2) $1.5 million in 8.0% two-year
convertible notes; and (3) contingent payments to be made by the Company if
Hutchinson meets certain earnings targets. The cash portion of the purchase
price was funded with the Company's existing cash balances.

of 1997 from $31.4 million in the comparable quarter of 1996.

The increase in net sales reflects the impact of the Hutchinson acquisition, as
well as increased sales in friction products and, to a lesser extent,
precision-engineered components. Sales of friction products increased $2.3
million or 9.8% to $25.8 million in the first quarter of 1997 from $23.5 million
in the comparable quarter of 1996. The growth was driven by strong demand in the
aerospace, construction and agricultural markets. Sales of precision engineered
components, exclusive of Hutchinson, increased $0.6 million or 11.1% to $6.0
million in the first quarter of 1997 from $5.4 million in the comparable quarter
of 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to the addition of a new
customer in the truck market, as well as increased demand in the fluid power
markets served by the Company.

Gross Profit
- ------------

Gross profit increased $2.1 million or 25.7% to $10.5 million in the first
quarter of 1997 from $8.4 million in the comparable quarter of 1996. The gross
profit margin increased to 28.5% in the first quarter of 1997 from 26.6% in the
comparable period in 1996. The increase is primarily attributable to cost
savings, as a result of the closing of one of the Company's manufacturing
facilities during 1996 and the consolidation of its operations into an existing
Company facility and increased sales from the Company's higher margin aerospace
friction products.

Selling, Technical and Administrative ("ST&A") Expenses
- -------------------------------------------------------

Selling, technical and administrative expenses increased $0.9 million or 24.1%
to $4.6 million in the first quarter of 1997. As a percentage of sales, ST&A
expenses increased to 12.4% of sales in the first quarter of 1997 compared to
11.7% in the comparable quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of increased
administrative overhead and personnel costs.

Plant Consolidation Expense
- ---------------------------

All costs associated with the closure and consolidation of a manufacturing
facility were incurred in 1996.

Income from Operations
- ----------------------

Income from operations increased by $1.7 million or 49.0% to $5.1 million in the
first quarter of 1997, as compared to the comparable quarter of 1996. Income
from operations as a percent of net sales increased to 13.9% in the first
quarter of 1997 from 11.0% in the 



                                       18
<PAGE>   19


comparable quarter of 1996, reflecting changes in cost savings from the closed 
facility, product mix and margin improvement.

Interest Expense
- ----------------

Interest expense increased $1.2 million or 46.4% to $3.7 million in the first
quarter of 1997 from the comparable quarter of 1996. The increase is
attributable to higher debt levels as a result of the issuance of Senior Notes
in the fourth quarter of 1996.

Income Taxes
- ------------

The provision for income taxes increased to $0.8 million in the first quarter of
1997 from $0.4 million in the comparable quarter of 1996, reflecting the
increase in pre-tax income.

Net Income
- ----------

As a result of the factors noted above, net income increased $0.4 million to
$0.9 million or 75.4% in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the first 
quarter of 1996.

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

As a result of the recent acquisitions by the Company and the issuance of the
Senior Notes, the Company has, and will continue to have, substantial
indebtedness. The Company will therefore be required to use a substantial
portion of its cash flow from operations for the payment of interest expense on
indebtedness.

Under the terms of the Senior Notes and the Exchange Notes, the Company is 
subject to certain restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to,
covenants imposing limitations on: the incurrence of additional indebtedness;
certain payments, including dividends and investments; the creation of liens;
sales of assets and preferred stock; transactions with interested persons;
payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; sale-leaseback transactions; and
mergers and consolidations.

Concurrently with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company and its domestic
subsidiaries entered into its Revolving Credit Facility, consisting of a
revolving credit loan that equals the lesser of (1) $25.0 million, or (2) the
sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable and 60% of eligible inventory. The
Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the accounts
receivable, inventory and intangibles of the Company and its domestic
subsidiaries. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains financial and
other covenants with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries that, among
other matters, prohibit the payment of any dividends to the Company by the
subsidiaries of the Company in the event of a default under the terms of the
Revolving Credit Facility, restrict the creation of certain liens and require
the maintenance of certain minimum interest coverage. Currently, there are no
amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company has outstanding $30.0 million of Senior Subordinated Notes.
Principal payments on these notes are due in equal installments of $10.0 million
on January 31, 2004, and June 30, 2004 and 2005. Interest on the Senior
Subordinated Notes is payable quarterly at 12.0% per annum. The Senior
Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the
Company. These notes contain certain financial and other covenants and
restrictions, including restrictions on the ability of less than wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Company, if any, to pay dividends or make other
distributions to the Company.

As of March 31, 1997 the Company was in compliance with the terms of its
indebtedness.

Net cash used in operating activities was $3.5 million for the first quarter of
1997, and $3.6 million for the comparable period in 1996. The $0.1 million
increase in cash provided by operating activities for the 1997 period was
primarily a result of increased net income and depreciation and amortization
charges, offset by increased working capital requirements.

Net cash used in investing activities was $11.5 million and $2.8 million for the
quarters ending March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The cash used in
investing activities in the first quarter of 1997 consisted of $10.4 million
attributable to the acquisition of Hutchinson and $1.2 million for the purchases
of property, plant and equipment. In the comparable period of 1996, cash used in
investing activities consisted primarily of $2.9 million of capital
expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.1 million for the first quarter of
1997 used primarily for the payment of capital lease obligations of the Company.
The first quarter 1996 net cash provided by financing activities of $5.9 million
was attributable to an increase in borrowings under the Company's previous
credit facilities.

The primary uses of capital by the Company are (1) to pay interest on, and to
repay principal of, indebtedness, (2) for capital expenditures for maintenance,
replacement and acquisitions of equipment, expansion of capacity, productivity
improvements and product development, and (3) making additional strategic
acquisitions of complementary businesses.

The Company believes that cash flow from operating activities, and additional
funds available under the Revolving Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet
its currently anticipated operating and capital expenditure requirements and
service its indebtedness for the next 12 months.

Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the
Company's confidence in its prospects and strategies and its expectations about
expansion into new markets and growth in existing markets, are forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to (1) the 



                                       20
<PAGE>   21



Company's substantial leverage, which requires significant cash flows to service
debt, reducing funds for operations and other business opportunities and
increasing the Company's vulnerability to competition and to adverse general
economic and industry conditions; (2) the ability of the Company to continue to
meet the terms of the Company's credit documents which contain a number of
significant financial covenants and other restrictions; (3) the Company's
reliance on significant customers; (4) supplies and prices of raw materials used
by the Company; (5) whether the Company's aerospace friction products will be 
able to continue to meet stringent Federal Aviation Administration criteria and
testing requirements;(6) whether the Company will be able to successfully
integrate Hutchinson into its operations; and (7) the Company's continued
expansion into international markets, with all the risks inherent in doing
business internationally, including unexpected changes in regulatory
requirements, export restrictions, currency controls, tariffs and other trade
barriers, potential instability, fluctuation in currency exchange rates and
potential adverse tax consequences. Any investor or potential investor in the
Company must consider these risks and others that are detailed in the
Company's Form S-4 (333-18433).
