                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:          Basis of Presentation

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
for Form 10-Q, the financial statements, footnote disclosures and other
information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed.  The
financial statements contained in this report are unaudited but in the opinion
of DeVlieg-Bullard, Inc. (the "Company"), reflect all adjustments, consisting
of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the financial
position as of April 30, 1995 and the results of operations, cash flows and
changes in stockholders' equity for the interim periods of the fiscal year
ending July 31, 1995 ("fiscal 1995") and the fiscal year ended July 31, 1994
("fiscal 1994") presented herein.  The results of operations for any interim
period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.  These
financial statements, footnote disclosures and other information should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1994.

The financial statements include all accounts of the Company after elimination
of all significant interdivision transactions and balances.  Dollar amounts in
these notes, except per share data, are expressed in thousands.

NOTE 2:          Acquisitions

Cushman Industries
On September 9, 1994, the Company acquired specified operating assets of
Cushman Industries, Inc. ("Cushman"), a company in Chapter 11 bankruptcy,
including accounts receivable, inventories, selected machinery and equipment,
trademarks and intellectual property from the Cushman Industries Liquidating
Trust which had been established for the benefit of Cushman creditors.  The
purchase price was approximately $3,100 and another $1,900 was incurred for the
relocation and consolidation of the Cushman operation into the Company's
manufacturing facility in Frankenmuth, Michigan. The acquisition was accounted
for by the purchase method of accounting, and  accordingly, the purchase price
has been allocated to the fair market value of net assets acquired.  The excess
purchase price over net assets acquired of approximately $4,200 has been
recorded as intangible assets (primarily engineering drawings) and is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years.  Cushman's results of
operations are included in the Company's financial statements from the date of
acquisition.  Cushman manufactures a broad line of manual and power chucks for
machine tool workholding applications.  The Company conducts this business as
part of its Tooling Systems Group.

H.B. Industries, Inc.
On November 30, 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of H.B. Industries, Inc. which conducts its business as Ed Smith Machinery
Sales ("Ed Smith").  Ed Smith sells replacement parts for the Bullard product
line of machine tools.  The purchase price was approximately $3,000, of which
$275 was placed into escrow for a period of one year in order to assure the
sellers' indemnification obligations.  The acquisition was accounted for by the 
purchase

method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been 
allocated to the fair market value of net assets acquired.  The excess 
purchase price over net assets acquired of approximately $2,000 was recorded as
goodwill and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 15 year period.
Ed Smith's results of operations are included in the Company's financial 
statements from the date of acquisition. The business is operated by the 
Company's Services Group.

Mideastern
On January 23, 1995, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Mideastern, Inc.  ("Mideastern").  Mideastern
rebuilds and provides repair parts and service for a variety of machine tools
under the New Britain Machine brand name.  The purchase price for this
acquisition was approximately $5,300 which consisted of $3,100 cash
consideration to the sellers, issuance of a $600 subordinated earnout note to
the sellers, stock options (see Note 9), Mideastern debt of $359 repaid by the
Company at closing, closing costs incurred, and liabilities assumed.   The
acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, and
accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based upon the fair market value at the date of
acquisition.  The excess purchase price over net assets acquired of
approximately $2,800 was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 15 years.  The results of operations of Mideastern
since acquired have been included in the Company's financial statements with
the Services Group.

The Company borrowed the funds from its revolving credit agreement to finance
these acquisitions.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared
assuming the acquisitions of Cushman, Ed Smith and Mideastern had occurred as
of August 1, 1993.

NOTE 6:          Litigation Settlement

The Company incurred a $1.5 million charge during its second quarter of fiscal
1995 for the accrual of its agreed settlement, with prejudice, of the
litigation filed by a committee of unsecured creditors of DeVlieg, Inc. and
debtor-in-possession, DeVlieg, Inc.  The settlement is subject to final
documentation.  The Company, certain of its present and former officers and
directors and several unrelated third parties were included as defendants.  The
litigation sought in excess of $10 million in damages and alleged violations of
state fraudulent conveyance statutes in connection with the acquisition by the
Company of certain assets of DeVlieg, Inc. in September 1988 and March 1990.

NOTE 7:          Income Taxes

The Company's income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended April 30,
1995 includes the release of valuation allowance previously recorded against
deferred tax assets, recorded in the second quarter.  The total valuation
allowance released was $2,962 of which $1,189 was recorded as a tax benefit in
the statements of operations and $1,773 was credited to stockholders' equity
in the account "Excess purchase price over net assets from the Services Group
acquisition."

NOTE 8:          Amendment of Credit Facility and Investment Agreement

Effective January 31, 1995, the Company amended its credit facility with its
senior lender and its investment agreement with the holders of its subordinated
debentures, subject to final documentation, by modifying the financial
covenants, including (i) minimum tangible net worth; (ii) maximum debt to worth
ratio; (iii) minimum debt service and capital expenditure coverage; and (iv)
maximum total





                                       9

liabilities to cash flow.  In addition, the amount the Company may borrow under
its revolving credit agreement shall be reserved $750 if the Company's ratio of
minimum debt service and capital expenditure coverage is less than 1.0, and
reserved $1,500 for the payment of the litigation settlement (Note 6).  The
amendment was made to reflect the acquisitions (Note 2) and the litigation
settlement charge.  The Company was in compliance with the amended covenants at
January 31, 1995 and April 30, 1995.

NOTE 9:          Stock Options and Stock Purchase Warrants

On December 14, 1994, pursuant to the 1989 Employee Stock Plan ("1989 Plan"),
options to purchase 170,000 shares of common stock were granted to certain
employees at $1.625 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant.  Of
these, options to purchase 50,000 shares were granted to William O. Thomas,
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and options to purchase
30,000 shares were granted to Lawrence M. Murray, Vice President, Chief
Financial Officer of the Company.  The options vest and become exercisable in
installments of 30% at the end of the first and second years and 40% at the end
of the third year, and they terminate ten years from the date of grant.  At
April 30, 1995, of the 1,000,000 shares authorized for issuance pursuant to
awards granted under the 1989 Plan, 934,000 stock options were outstanding.
Stock options under the 1989 Plan are not considered in the computation and
presentation of income per share data as they are antidilutive.

On January 27, 1995, the Company granted non-qualified options to the
shareholders of Mideastern, Inc. to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares at
an exercise price of $1.50 per share.  These options are exercisable at any
time and expire on January 27, 2000.  If on January 27, 1998, the fair market
value of the shares covered by the options is not at least $3.50 per share, the
optionees may elect to either (i) retain the options or (ii) cause the Company
to redeem the options for an aggregate of $150 in cash.

The non-qualified options issued in January 1995 and the 1,000,000 stock
purchase warrants issued in May 1994 are dilutive and are included as share
equivalents using the treasury stock method in the computation of earnings per
share.  The share equivalents for the quarter and nine months ended April 30,
1995 are 1,016,000 and 1,002,000, respectively.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summarized below is a discussion of the results of operations of the Company,
including its Services, Tooling Systems and Industrial operating groups which
include the acquisitions completed in fiscal 1995 of Cushman, H.B. Industries,
Inc. ("Ed Smith"), and Mideastern (see Note 2).  Dollar amounts, except per
share data, are expressed in thousands.

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30,
1994.  Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 were $20,959 compared to
$16,488 for the third quarter of fiscal 1994, an increase of $4,471, or 27.1%,
reflecting increases in all of the Company's operating groups.  The increase in
net sales by operating group for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to
the same prior year period consists of $2,539, or 36.5%, in the Services Group;
$927, or 20.9%, in the Tooling Systems Group; and $1,005, or 19.7%, in the
Industrial Group.  These results include additions from acquired businesses as
follows:  Cushman added $925 to the Tooling Systems Group; and Ed Smith and
Mideastern added $602 and $1,244, respectively, to the Services Group.
Excluding the sales added by acquired businesses, the Services Group increased
$693, or 10.0%, compared to the third quarter of last year, reflecting
increases in its Parts and Remanufacturing operations.  The Tooling Systems
Group's net sales, excluding the addition from Cushman, were $2 higher than in
the third quarter of fiscal 1994.  The Industrial Group has continued to have a
favorable impact from new product introductions and promotional programs.

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 was $6,214 compared to $5,008
for the third quarter of fiscal 1994, an increase of $1,206, or 24.1%,
reflecting increases in each operating group due to internal growth as well as
contributions from acquired businesses as discussed above.  Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales was 29.6% and  30.4% in the third quarter of fiscal
1995 and fiscal 1994, respectively, reflecting declines in each operating group
except the Services Group.  The Services Group's gross profit as a percentage
of net sales improved in its Remanufacturing operation (due to work on higher
margin projects booked in fiscal 1995, improved performance and a contribution
from Mideastern), partially offset by a decline in its Parts operation (lack of
favorable inventory adjustment in fiscal 1995 and increased amortization
charges from the acquisitions).  The Tooling Systems Group experienced higher
manufacturing costs relating to the hiring and training of employees and due to
inefficiencies associated with the assimilation of the Cushman operation into
the Tooling Systems' Frankenmuth, Michigan facility.  The decline in the
Industrial Group's gross profit as a percentage of net sales compared to last
year is primarily due to higher labor costs due to extensive overtime and
certain production inefficiencies caused by key machine breakdowns.

Operating expenses were $4,489, or 21.4 % of net sales, compared to $3,810, or
23.1% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994,
respectively.  Operating expenses for the third fiscal quarter exceeded prior
year levels by $679 primarily due to the higher sales volume and costs added by
acquired businesses.





                                       11
<PAGE>   13


Interest expense was $661 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to $303
in the third quarter of fiscal 1994, an increase of $358.  The increase in
interest expense is due to higher average outstanding debt balances, primarily
attributable to acquisitions (see Note 2) and higher effective interest rates,
particularly on the Company's subordinated debentures which were issued in May
1994.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended April 30, 1995 was
$417, an effective rate of 42%, compared to no income tax expense for the same
period of the prior year due to the realization of a refund on prior year taxes
during the quarter.

NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1995 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1994.
Net sales for the nine months ended April 30, 1995 were $57,931 compared to
$47,873 for the nine months ended April 30, 1994, an increase of $10,058, or
21.0%.  Businesses acquired in fiscal 1995 added $4,874 to net sales with
Cushman contributing $2,343 to the Tooling Systems Group, and Ed Smith and
Mideastern adding $1,021 and $1,510, respectively, to the Services Group.
Excluding the addition from acquisitions, net sales for the nine months ended
April 30, 1995 increased $5,184, or 10.8%, compared to the nine months ended
April 30, 1994.  Excluding net sales from fiscal 1995 acquisitions, each 
operating group improved as follows:  Services Group increased $1,661, or 8.0%; 
Tooling Systems Group increased $478, or 3.7%; and the Industrial Group
increased $3,045, or 21.2%.  All operating groups have benefited from
promotional programs and new products in addition to the strong economy during
this time.

Gross profit for the nine months ended April 30, 1995 was $16,182 compared to
$13,714 for the same prior year period, an increase of $2,468, or 18.0%,
reflecting improvements in each operating group due to higher volume and
contributions from acquired businesses.  Gross profit as a percentage of net
sales was 27.9% for the nine months ended April 30, 1995 compared to 28.6% for
the nine months ended April 30, 1994, reflecting no change for the Industrial
Group and a slight decline in the Services Group, partially offset by an
improvement in the Tooling Systems Group's gross profit as a percentage of net
sales.

Operating expenses were $12,382, or 21.4% of net sales, and $11,249, or 23.5%
of net sales, for the nine months ended April 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
a $1,133, or 10.1%, increase.  The increase is attributable to higher sales
volume and costs added from acquired businesses.

The Company recorded a $1,500 litigation settlement charge in the second
quarter of fiscal 1995, or $0.11 loss per common share on a pre-tax basis.  The
Company has agreed to pay $1,500 in cash, subject to final documentation, to
settle a civil suit filed by a committee of unsecured creditors of DeVlieg,
Inc. and debtor-in-possession, DeVlieg, Inc.  The litigation sought in excess
of $10 million in damages and alleged violations of state fraudulent conveyance
statutes in connection with the acquisition by the Company of certain assets of
DeVlieg, Inc. in September 1988 and March 1990.  The Company, certain of its
present and former officers and directors and several unrelated third parties
were included as defendants in the suit.  While management believes the
allegations in the lawsuit were without merit, the Company agreed to the
settlement to avoid significant continuing litigation costs.  See "Legal
Proceedings."

Interest expense was $1,775 for the nine months ended April 30, 1995 compared
to $902 for the same period last year, an increase of $873.  The increase in
interest expense is attributable to higher outstanding debt balances, primarily
due to acquisitions (see Note 2) and higher effective interest rates,
particularly on the Company's subordinated debentures which were issued in May
1994.

Income tax benefit was $729 compared to income tax expense of $249 for the nine
months ended April 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The income tax benefit is
primarily due to the Company's release in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 of
$2,962 of its valuation allowance previously recorded against deferred tax
assets.  This amount was released based on expectations of continued
profitability.  Of the released valuation allowance, $1,189 was included in the
benefit for income taxes on the statement of operations and $1,773 was credited
to the balance sheet account "Excess purchase price over net assets from the
Services Group acquisition."

Effective August 1, 1994, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 112 ("SFAS 112"), "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits" under which  employers must recognize the cost of benefits provided
to former or inactive, but not retired, employees.  If the benefits accumulate
or vest, the cost must be recognized over the service life of the employee.
The impact of adoption was not material to the Company's results of operations
or financial position.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,386 for the nine months ended
April 30, 1995 compared to $1,310 for the nine months ended April 30, 1994.

Capital expenditures were $650 in the first nine months of fiscal 1995 compared
to $819 in the same prior year period.  As of April 30, 1995, the Company had
no material commitments for specific capital expenditures.

The Company has agreed to pay $1.5 million in cash, expected to be paid during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, to settle a civil suit filed by a committee
of unsecured creditors of DeVlieg, Inc. and debtor-in-possession, DeVlieg, Inc.
See "Legal Proceedings."

Cash was used to acquire specified assets of Cushman Industries, Inc., and its
relocation from Hartford, Connecticut and consolidation into the Company's
Tooling Systems' facility in Frankenmuth, Michigan, for the purchase of H.B.
Industries, Inc. and for the purchase of  substantially all of the assets of
Mideastern, Inc.

The balance outstanding under the Company's revolving credit agreement was
$9,818 at April 30, 1995 compared to $0 at July 31, 1994.  Long-term debt,
including current maturities, was $15,927  and $16,405 at April 30, 1995 and
July 31, 1994, respectively.  The Company's total indebtedness was $25,745 and
$16,405 at April 30, 1995 and July 31, 1994, respectively, an increase of
$9,340.  Borrowings under the revolving credit agreement were used primarily to
finance acquisitions.

The Company's revolving credit agreement permits borrowings of up to $15,000
subject to collateral maintenance requirements.  The amount the Company may
borrow under the revolving credit agreement is based upon a formula related to
the Company's eligible accounts receivable and inventories, reduced by
outstanding letters of credit and as described in Note 8, a $750 reserve, if
applicable, and a $1,500 reserve for payment of the litigation settlement.
Unused borrowings available at April 30, 1995 were $3,726, which includes
reserves of $1,500.

As outlined in Note 8, effective January 31, 1995 the Company amended the
financial covenants with its senior lender and the holders of its subordinated
debentures to reflect the acquisitions made (see Note 2) and the litigation
settlement (see Note 7).

The Company expects to continue to provide liquidity and finance its ongoing
operational needs primarily through internally generated funds. The Company is
actively pursuing an acquisition strategy. Under certain circumstances, certain
acquisitions require the consent of the Company's senior lender and the holders
of the subordinated debentures.  In addition, the Company may need to incur
additional indebtedness or issue additional equity securities to make any such
acquisition.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

On August 4, 1993, the Company, certain of its present and former officers and
directors and several unrelated third parties were included as defendants in a
civil suit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District
of Illinois, Western District.  The suit was filed by a committee of unsecured
creditors of DeVlieg, Inc., a company in Chapter 11 proceedings in the
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and
debtor-in-possession, DeVlieg, Inc.  The litigation sought in excess of $10
million in damages and alleged violations of state fraudulent conveyance
statutes in connection with the acquisition by the Company of certain assets of
DeVlieg, Inc. in September 1988 and March 1990.  The Company agreed to settle
this suit, subject to final documentation, for  $1.5 million in cash.  The
settlement is effective as to the Company and each of its present and former
officers and directors party to the suit. The $1.5 million payment is expected
to be made during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.

On March 2, 1992, a purported class action suit was filed in the United States
District Court for the District of Connecticut against the Company, Stanwich
Oil & Gas, Inc., the First Boston Corporation and certain of the Company's
officers and directors.  The suit alleges violations of the federal securities
laws and state and federal common law in connection with alleged
misrepresentations and omissions made by the Company in connection with its
initial public offering in March 1990 and in certain reports later issued by
the Company.  To date, the United States District Court for the District of
Connecticut has not certified the class of plaintiffs in the referenced action.
By ruling dated September 7, 1994, the court granted that portion of the
defendants' motion to dismiss certain parties to the suit based on a claim that
any of them were secondarily liable for having aided and abetted an alleged
securities fraud violation based on Rule 10b-5 and Section 10(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The court denied the remainder of the motion
to dismiss.  While management believes the allegations are without merit and is
defending the litigation vigorously, management is unable at this time to
estimate the effect of any settlement or adverse judgment on the results of
operations and/or financial condition of the Company.  The Company has,
therefore, made no accrual for any such settlement, adverse judgment or costs
of adjudication (other than accrual for certain pre-trial costs).  Certain
costs estimated to be incurred in defending the suit have been accrued.

The Company is also involved in litigation and proceedings, including product
liability claims, in the ordinary course of its business.  The Company does not
believe that the outcome of such litigation will have a material adverse effect
upon the Company, after taking into account any proceeds of available
insurance.
