   Significant     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
   Accounting      the accounts of Allied Devices Corporation and its        
   Policies        wholly-owned subsidiary.  All significant intercompany

                   basis consistent with the Company's annual financial     
                   statements.  Such unaudited financial statements include all
                   adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) 
                   that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation
                   of such data.  Results for the three months ended 
                   December 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the 
                   results that may be expected for the entire year ending 
                   September 30, 1998.

                   first-out (LIFO) method) or market.  For the three months
                   ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, inventory was determined by
                   applying a gross profit method, as opposed to the year ended
                   September 30, 1997, when inventory was determined by a
                   physical count.

2. Summary of  (c) Depreciation and amortization
   Significant     
   Accounting      Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost.    
   Policies        Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and
   (Continued)     equipment is computed using the straight-line method over
                   the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The estimated
                   useful lives are as follows:

                   Buildings and improvements                        30 years

                   Machinery and equipment                           10 years

                   Furniture, fixtures and office equipment        5 -7 years

                   Tools, molds and dies                              8 years

                   Leasehold improvements                          Lease term

               (d) Income taxes 

                   The Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal
                   income tax return and separate state income tax returns.  The
                   Company follows the liability method of accounting for income
                   taxes.

               (e) Earnings per share

                   In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
                   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 Earnings
                   per Share.  Statement 128 replaced the previously reported
                   primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and
                   diluted earnings per share.  Unlike primary earnings per
                   share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects
                   of options, warrants and convertible securities.  Diluted
                   earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported
                   fully diluted earnings per share.  All earnings per share
                   amounts for all periods have been presented, and where
                   necessary, restated to conform to the Statement 128
                   requirements.

4.   Subsequent 
     Events     In January 1998, the Company acquired the assets and
                business of Kay Pneumatic Valves, Inc. for $850,000. 
                This acquisition was funded by a new leasing agreement 
                of $1,000,000.  This arrangement is payable over five 
                years at an interest rate of 7.99%.

  Item 2-        Results of Operations: three months ended December 31, 1997 
                 compared with three months ended December 31, 1996:


               All statements contained herein that are not historical facts, 
               including but not limited to, statements regarding the Company's
               current business strategy, the Company's projected sources and
               uses of cash, and the Company's plans for future development and
               operations, are based upon current expectations.  These
               statements are forward-looking in nature and involve a number of
               risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ materially. 
               Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
               materially are the following:  the availability of sufficient
               capital to finance the Company's business plans on terms
               satisfactory to the Company; competitive factors; changes in
               labor, equipment and capital costs; changes in regulations
               affecting the Company's business; future acquisitions or
               strategic partnerships; general business and economic conditions;
               and factors described from time to time in the reports filed by
               the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The
               Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such
               forward-looking statements, which statements are made pursuant to
               the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are pertinent only
               as of the date made.

               Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1997, were 
               $4,383,000 as compared to $3,526,000 in the comparable period of
               the prior year, an increase of approximately 24.3%.  Management
               attributes this increase principally to the following factors: 

               -    During most of fiscal 1997, there was a sharp slowdown in
                    the semiconductor equipment sector of the U.S. economy. 
                    Sales to this industry in fiscal 1996 were estimated at 20%
                    of the Company's volume, dropping to approximately 3% of
                    overall shipments in fiscal 1997.  Solid recovery was
                    evident in the Company's shipments in the fourth quarter of
                    fiscal year 1997, continuing into the first quarter of
                    fiscal 1998.  The Company has continued to experience growth
                    in sales to other industries, most notably aerospace
                    instrumentation, medical equipment, robotics and scientific
                    instrumentation.

                                                                              9

                              Results of Operations:  Three Months
                         Ended December 31, 1997 Compared with
                           Three Months Ended December 31, 1996:

               -    The Company's on-going advertising campaign in certain
                    trade magazines remains focused on the advantages of
                    having Allied Devices as a source, and it appears to be
                    expanding awareness of the Company's products and
                    services in the markets it serves.  The rate at which
                    the Company is adding new customers remains healthy and
                    steady.  Customer retention appears to be excellent,
                    which management attributes to the success of various
                    innovative approaches to customer service.

               Reported gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was
               32.42%, as compared to 32.33% for the comparable period of the
               prior year.  Materials expense (as a component of cost of goods
               sold) increased to approximately 34.5% of net sales during the
               first quarter of fiscal 1998, from approximately 30.7% in the
               first quarter of fiscal 1997.  While the increased shipping
               volume resulted in higher levels of spending on factory payroll
               and overhead during the quarter, such spending decreased as a
               percentage of net sales, from 37.0% in fiscal 1997 to 33.1% in
               fiscal 1998.  There was one modest price increase instituted
               during the quarter, the net effect of which is estimated to have
               increased revenues and profits for the quarter by $25,000.  LIFO
               reserves were unchanged during the period.             

               Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of 
               net sales were 22.17% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 as 
               compared to 25.02% in the comparable period of fiscal 1997. 
               Actual expenditures increased approximately 10% during the 
               quarter, due to increased sales activity, yet expressed as a 
               percentage of sales they decreased.

               Interest expense of $38,000 in the fiscal 1998 period was $8,000
               lower than in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  This is
               primarily the result of lower average levels of indebtedness. 

               Provision for income taxes is estimated at 37.2% of pre-tax 
               income for the fiscal 1998 period, as a combination of federal
               and state taxes.

                                                                              10

                     Three Months Ended December 31, 1996:



               Liquidity and Financial Resources

               During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company's financial
               condition remained strong.  Operations generated cash of
               $698,000, which was $198,000 more than was used for capital
               expenditures ($143,000) and for payment of debt ($357,000 net),
               resulting in an increase of cash on hand.  Working capital
               decreased by $123,000 to $7,184,000 during the quarter,
               principally as a result of the following changes in current
               assets and current liabilities:

               -    Accounts receivable decreased by $208,000 as a function of
                    more concerted and consistent collection practices.  This
                    decrease was primarily the result of shortening the average
                    collection period from about 48 days at the end of fiscal
                    1997 to about 43 days at the end of the first quarter of
                    fiscal 1998.

               -    Inventories decreased by $11,000 during the quarter. Turns
                    on inventory were 1.9 times during the quarter, as compared
                    to 1.6 times during fiscal 1997.  This change in turnover
                    rate is attributable to the increase in shipping volume
                    during the quarter.

               -    Prepaid and other current assets increased by $128,000 as
                    the Company recorded (and accrued for) certain annual
                    administrative expenses.

               -    Current liabilities, exclusive of current portions of
                    long-term debt and capital lease obligations, increased
                    $239,000 as accounts payable and accrued expenses increased
                    $147,000, and taxes payable increased by $92,000.

               -    Current portions of long-term debt and capital lease
                    obligations decreased by $9,000.

               -    Cash balances increased by $198,000.

                                                                             11

                   Allied Devices Corporation and Subsidiaries

                      Results of Operations: Three Months
                     Ended December 31, 1997 Compared with
                     Three Months Ended December 31, 1996:




               Net outlay for capital expenditures in the quarter was $143,000 
               as management continued to add to capacity and to modernize and
               automate its manufacturing processes.   The Company is in the
               process of installing a computer and information  management
               system, which will involve the expenditure of approximately
               $70,000 in fiscal 1998 and is scheduled for completion in the
               third quarter of this fiscal year.  Management's capital spending
               plans for the remaining three quarters of fiscal 1998 include
               additional expenditures of approximately $250,000 for productive
               equipment and approximately $25,000 for expansion into additional
               space.  Management expects to fund such spending plans out of
               working capital.

               Management believes that the Company's working capital as now 
               constituted will be adequate for the needs of the on-going core
               business.  Management further believes that, in light of the
               Company's expansion objectives, the Company's current financial
               resources will not be adequate to provide for all of the on-going
               cash needs of the business.  In particular, management expects to
               require additional financing to carry out its acquisition
               objectives.  Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of fiscal
               1998, the Company acquired the assets and business of Kay
               Pneumatic Valves, Inc.  The acquisition price of $850,000 was
               funded through a new lease arrangement of $1,000,000, provided by
               the Company's bank and secured by the fixed assets of the
               Company.  It is management's intention to complete at least one
               additional acquisition during fiscal 1998.  Success in this part
               of the Company's growth plan will rely, in large measure, upon
               success in raising additional debt and/or equity capital. 
               Management believes that it has several sources for such capital
               and expects that the combination of capital raised and
               acquisitions completed will produce anti-dilutive results for the
               Company's existing stockholders.  While this is management's
               intention, there is no guarantee that they will be able to
               achieve this objective.  The Company is not relying on the
               receipt of any new capital for its existing operations.  It is
               important to note that, absent new capital, the Company will not
               be in a position to undertake some of the most promising elements
               of management's plans for expansion.  In the event that new
               capital is raised, management intends to implement its plans and
               will do so in keeping with its judgment at that time as to how
               best to deploy such added capital.

                                                                             12
