                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)
                  (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1.      Unaudited consolidated financial statements

        The  accompanying   unaudited   consolidated   financial  statements  of
Greenfield  Industries,  Inc.  (Company  or  Greenfield)  have been  prepared in
accordance  with the  instructions  for Form 10-Q and do not  include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles
for complete financial statements.  However, in the opinion of management,  such
information  includes  all  adjustments,  consisting  only of  normal  recurring
adjustments,  necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for
the periods  presented.  Operating  results for any quarter are not  necessarily
indicative  of the  results  for any other  quarter or for the full year.  These
statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated  financial
statements and notes to the consolidated  financial  statements thereto included
in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

2.      Principles of consolidation

        The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of the
Company and its subsidiaries: Rogers Tool Works,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  (RTW),
Rule Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (Rule), The Cleveland Twist Drill Company
and subsidiaries (CTD), Carbidie  Corporation  (Carbidie),   Cirbo  Limited  and
subsidiary  (Cirbo),  Kemmer  International,  Inc.  and  subsidiaries  (Kemmer),
Greenfield  Capital Trust and Greenfield  Industries  Foreign Sales Corporation.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

3.      Acquisitions

        The  following  table  summarizes  certain  information   regarding  the
Company's acquisitions since December 31, 1995:
                                                                     Net Cash
            Date                       Business                   Purchase Price
            ----                       --------                   --------------
       January 1996             Rule Industries, Inc.                $83,300
       June 1996                Boride Products, Inc. (Boride)        $8,300
       July 1996                Arkansas Cutting Tools (ACT)          $4,900

These  acquisitions  were  each  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method of
accounting  and  financed  primarily  through bank  borrowings,  resulting in an
increase  in  the  Company's  outstanding  debt.  Results  of operations of each
acquired company have been included

                                     Page 7
<PAGE>


in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
The purchase price of each  acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities  assumed  based  on  their  estimated  fair  value  at the  date  of
acquisition.  The excess of purchase  price over the estimated fair value of net
assets  acquired was, in each instance,  recorded as goodwill.  Except for Rule,
the pro forma effects, individually and collectively, of the acquisitions on the
Company's  consolidated  results of operations  and  financial  position are not
material.

        The following table sets forth pro forma information for the Company for
the three and nine month periods ended  September 30, 1995 as if the acquisition
of Rule had taken place on January 1, 1995.  This  information  is unaudited and
does not purport to represent  actual revenue,  net income and primary  earnings
per share had the acquisition actually taken place on January 1, 1995:

                                         =======                   =======

In  connection  with the  Company's  acquisition  of Rule in January  1996,  the
Company  recorded a  restructuring  reserve of $2,600  primarily  related to the
closing  of two  Rule  facilities  (including  the  corporate  office)  and  the
involuntary termination of a substantial number of Rule employees. Of the $2,600
reserve, $1,240 related to employee severance costs, $346 related to the closure
of the two facilities, and $1,014 related to other nonrecurring costs associated
with terminating  certain Rule operations.  This restructuring has resulted in a
reduction in personnel and the elimination of certain  duplicate  functions.  Of
the total $2,600 reserve, approximately $2,500 had been incurred as of September
30, 1996. The Company expects to incur the remaining costs in the fourth quarter
of 1996.

4.      Financing

        In February  1996,  in  connection  with the  acquisition  of Rule,  the
Company amended its unsecured acquisition facility,  increasing its availability
from $20,000 to $60,000. Such amount was reduced to $20,000 on April 24, 1996 in
connection with the Company's  completion of a private placement as discussed in
Note 5. As of September 30, 1996 there were no borrowings  under the acquisition
facility.

                                     Page 8
<PAGE>


        The Company also maintains  unsecured revolving credit facilities with a
group of financial  institutions  which expire in November  1999 and March 2000.
The total amounts  available  under such  agreements  are $130,000,  9,500 pound
sterling  and DM 21,000 of which  $49,000,  7,100 pound  sterling  and DM 7,000,
respectively,  was  outstanding  at September 30, 1996 at interest rates ranging
from 4.3% to 6.9% per annum.


5.      Convertible Preferred Securities

        On April  24,  1996,  the  Company  completed  a  private  placement  to
institutional  investors  of $115,000  of 6%  Convertible  Preferred  Securities
(liquidation  preference  of  $50  per  Convertible  Preferred  Security).   The
placement was made through  Greenfield  Capital Trust  (Trust),  a  newly-formed
Delaware business trust. The securities represent undivided beneficial ownership
interests in the Trust and are fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed
by Greenfield.  Greenfield owns all of the common  securities of the Trust.  The
assets of the  Trust  consist  solely  of  Greenfield's  6%  Convertible  Junior
Subordinated  Deferrable  Interest  Debentures Due 2016 which were acquired with
the  proceeds  from the  offering.  The  Convertible  Preferred  Securities  are
convertible  at the option of the  holders at any time into the common  stock of
Greenfield  at an  effective  conversion  price  of  $41.25  per  share  and are
redeemable at Greenfield's  option after April 15, 1999. The net proceeds of the
offering  of   approximately   $110,775   were  used  by  Greenfield  to  retire
indebtedness.  A registration  statement relating to resales of such Convertible
Preferred  Securities  was  declared  effective by the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission on September 26, 1996.

6.      Dividends

        On March 29, June 28 and  September  30,  1996,  the Company paid a cash
dividend of $0.04 per share to common stockholders of record on March 8, June 10
and September 10, 1996,  respectively.  Total dividends paid for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 approximated $1,959.

        On July 1 and  September  30,  1996,  the Trust  paid  dividends  on the
Convertible Preferred Securities totalling approximately $3,009.

8.      Restructuring Costs

        The results of operations for the three and nine months ended  September
30, 1996 included  restructuring costs of $4,000 ($2,400 net of tax benefits) of
$0.15 per common share on a primary basis. These costs were primarily related to
employee  severance and certain other  nonrecurring  charges  resulting from the
effects of the reorganization of the Company's business groups.

        The  restructuring  costs  included  those  costs  associated  with  the
combination  or  elimination  of  certain  functions  or  operations  which were
identified as redundant.  The $4,000  restructuring charge recorded in the third
quarter  included  $2,727 for  employee-related  costs  consisting  primarily of
severance  costs,  $585 for the write-down of plant assets where operations have
been or will be terminated,  and $688 for other nonrecurring costs.  Included in
the $2,727 of employee-related  costs are $2,162 of employee severance costs for
personnel that have been terminated or will be terminated in future periods.  Of
the total $4,000 charge,  approximately $342 had been incurred through September
30, 1996.

9.      Stock option and stock incentive plans consist of the following:


Stock Option Plans
- ------------------
        The Company has three stock option plans: the Employee Stock Option Plan
(Employee Plan), the 1995 Directors  Non-Qualified  Stock Option Plan (Directors
Plan) and the 1993  Directors  Non-Qualified  Stock Option Plan (1993  Directors
Plan).

        The Employee Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase up to
1,000,000  shares of common stock to the  Company's  executive  officers and key
employees  at prices  equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of
grant.

        The  Directors  Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase up
to  125,000  shares  of  common  stock to the  Company's  directors  who are not
employees  of the Company at prices  equal to the fair market value of the stock
on the date of grant.  Options are granted to each eligible director on the date
such  person is first  elected to the board of  directors  of the Company and on
each subsequent re-election date. The Directors Plan was approved in May 1996 by
the stockholders.

        The 1993 Directors Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase
up to 100,000  shares of common  stock to the  Company's  directors  who are not
employees  of the Company at prices  equal to the fair market value of the stock
on the date of grant.  Options are granted to each eligible director on the date
such  person  is  first  elected  to the  board  of  directors  of the  Company.
Subsequent  to the May 1996 approval of the  Directors  Plan, no further  grants
will be issued under the 1993 Directors Plan.

30, 1996 pursuant to the Employee  Plan,  Directors Plan and 1993 Directors Plan

Stock Incentive Plans
- ---------------------

        The Company has two stock  incentive  plans:  the 1995 Equity  Incentive
Plan (Incentive Plan) and the 1995 Restricted Stock Bonus Plan (Ownership Plan).
Both plans were approved in May 1996 by the stockholders of the Company.

        The Incentive  Plan provides for the granting of up to 273,000 shares of
common  stock  to  certain  senior  executives  of  the  Company  in  time-lapse
restricted  stock,  performance  contingent  restricted  stock  and  performance
shares.  Time-lapse  restricted  stock  vests  in  one-third  increments  over a
three-year period commencing four years after the date of the award. Performance
contingent  restricted  stock is earned when the price for the  Company's  stock
reaches certain  predetermined  levels, and then vests over a three or five year
period.  Performance  shares are earned based on attainment  of a  predetermined
four-year  cumulative  earnings per share level.  Attainment  of between 50% and
200% of the  predetermined  objective will entitle the  participants  to receive
restricted performance shares of between 50% and 200% of the target award, which
then vests over a three-year  period.  No performance  shares are earned if less
than 50% of the performance objective is obtained.

        The Ownership  Plan provides for the issuance of up to 250,000 shares of
common stock to certain employees,  by allowing such employees to elect to defer
up to 50% of their annual cash bonus and receive, in lieu thereof, shares of the
Company's common stock. The Company will increase the employees'  deferred bonus
by either 20% or 35%  (depending  on the  employees'  selection of 3 or 5 years,
respectively, for the restriction period).

        Shares  issued  under  the  plans  are  restricted  and are  subject  to
forfeiture upon termination of employment.  During the restricted period,  award
holders have the right to vote and to receive dividends on such shares.

        A summary of stock issued  pursuant to the Incentive  Plan and Ownership
Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 follows:

        Shares  issued but which  remain  restricted  are  recorded  as deferred
compensation,  a  reduction  to  additional  paid-in  capital.  The  increase in
additional paid-in capital of $761 for the issuance of executive stock awards in
the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 is net of this deferred  compensation.
As the shares are earned and become  unrestricted,  additional  paid-in  capital
will  increase.  For the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996,  the Company
recorded  $1,500 in compensation  expense which is included in selling,  general
and  administrative  expenses  in the  accompanying  consolidated  statement  of
operations.


10.     Commitments and contingencies

        The Company is involved in certain claims and legal proceedings in which
monetary damages are sought. The Company is vigorously  contesting these claims.
However,  resolution  of these claims is not expected to occur quickly and their
ultimate outcome presently cannot be predicted.  It is the opinion of management
that any liability of the Company for claims or proceedings  will not materially
affect its financial position.

        In  connection  with the  acquisition  of CTD,  the  Company  recorded a
liability of $2,600 in purchase  accounting for certain estimated  environmental
clean-up  costs  to be  incurred  relative  to  acquired  CTD  facilities.  This
estimated potential  liability,  which is included in other accrued liabilities,
has  not  been  reduced  for  any  expected   proceeds  from  other  potentially
responsible third parties. Proceeds therefrom are not expected to be material.

11.     Earnings per share

        Fully diluted earnings per share, which primarily reflect the effects of
conversion of the Company's  Convertible  Preferred Securities described in Note
5,  are not  presented  for the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1996 due to the
anti-dilutive effect thereof.

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

GENERAL

        The following  discussion  summarizes the significant  factors affecting
the  consolidated  operating  results  and  financial  condition  of  Greenfield
Industries, Inc. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared
to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995. This discussion should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated  financial statements and notes to the
consolidated  financial  statements  thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995.

        During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company  acquired the outstanding
common stock of Cleveland Europe Limited ("Cleveland Europe"). In the first nine
months of 1996,  the  Company  acquired  the  outstanding  common  stock of Rule
Industries, Inc. ("Rule") and the net assets of Boride Products, Inc. ("Boride")
and of Arkansas Cutting Tools ("ACT").

        Certain  statements  included  herein  are  forward-looking  statements.
Actual  results could differ  materially  from those  anticipated as a result of
various factors,  including  cyclical  downturns,  the inability to achieve cost
reductions through  consolidation and restructuring of acquired  companies,  and
possible future acquisitions that may not be complementary or additive.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE   MONTHS  ENDED   SEPTEMBER  30,  1996  COMPARED  TO  THREE  MONTHS  ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995


        Net sales for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996 were $121.4
million,  an  increase  of $17.3  million,  or  16.5%,  over net sales of $104.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 1995. During the quarter, sales
from  newly-acquired  businesses  were $18.3  million  while sales from existing
businesses  declined  $1.0  million  or 1%. The  decline in sales from  existing
businesses is generally  believed to be caused by reduced  demand as a result of
inventory destocking and softer market conditions.

        Including the effect of the newly acquired businesses,  net sales of the
Company's six product groups were as follows:

The increases in net sales of the industrial, consumer and marine product groups
were  attributable to the sales from the  newly-acquired  businesses of Rule and
Cleveland Europe. The increase in net sales of engineered products was primarily
attributable to the sales from the newly-acquired business of Boride,  while net
sales of  energy  and  construction  products  were  affected  by the  continued
increase in demand for energy  products.  Electronics  products  sales were down
slightly from 1995,  primarily as a result of a decline in demand in Europe and,
to a lesser extent, in the United States relative to the second quarter of 1996.

        Gross profit  increased  7.1% to $35.0 million from $32.7 million in the
comparable  period  in  1995,  primarily  as a  result  of the  sales  increases
discussed  above.  The gross profit  margin  decreased to 28.8% from 31.4%.  The
decrease in gross profit margin resulted  primarily from lower production levels
and  plant  inefficiencies  relating  to the  decline  in  sales  from  existing
businesses.

        Selling,  general and  administrative  ("SG&A") expenses  increased $3.0
million in the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 and SG&A  expenses as a
percentage of net sales  increased to 16.5% from 16.4% in the comparable  period
in 1995. The increase was primarily a result of the Rule,  Cleveland  Europe and
Boride acquisitions.


        Restructuring  costs of $4.0 million were recorded for the quarter ended
September  30, 1996 relating  primarily to severance and other  employee-related
costs  associated with the  reorganization  and  restructuring  of the Company's
business groups. In connection with this reorganization,  certain functions were
identified as redundant and will be combined or  eliminated,  with the objective
of making each business  group more focused and  responsible  to its  respective
customer base. The Company  continues to evaluate its operations  with an intent
to  streamline  operations,  improve  productivity  and  reduce  costs,  and may
implement additional rationalization programs in the future.

        Operating income declined $4.7 million, or 30.0%, to $11.0 million while
operating  margins  decreased  to 9.0% from 15.0%  during the three months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995. The
decreased operating profit was due primarily to the restructuring  charge, while
the decreased  operating  margins were due to lower gross profit  margins,  both
discussed above.

        Interest  expense  increased  $0.5 million to $2.6 million for the three
months  ended  September  30, 1996 from $2.1  million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995. The increase in interest  expense resulted from the increase
in the debt level of the Company, primarily due to acquisitions,  largely offset
by  the  proceeds  from  the  issuance  of  the  company-obligated   mandatorily
redeemable  convertible preferred securities during April 1996. The net proceeds
from such issuance of  approximately  $110.8  million were used to repay Company
indebtedness.

        Dividends  on  company-obligated,   mandatorily  redeemable  convertible
preferred  securities  of  Greenfield  Capital  Trust were $1.7  million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996.

        Provision  for income  taxes  decreased  to $2.7  million  for the three
months  ended  September  30,  1996,  a decrease of $2.7  million from the three
months ended September 30, 1995, reflecting the lower pretax income.

        Net  income  decreased  to $4.0  million  for  the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1996, a decrease of $4.1 million,  or 51.0%,  from the same period
in 1995 as a result of the  factors  noted  above.  Primary  earnings  per share
decreased to $0.24 from $0.50 for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

NINE   MONTHS   ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30,  1996   COMPARED  TO   NINE  MONTHS  ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

        Net sales for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996 were  $384.1
million,  an  increase  of $68.7  million,  or  21.8%,  over net sales of $315.4
million for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1995.  Of the $68.7  million
increase  in  sales,  $61.1  million  was due to the sales  from  newly-acquired
businesses,  with the remaining $7.6 million resulting from increased sales from
existing businesses.  The increase in sales from existing businesses was largely
the  result of  stronger  market  conditions  for the first six months of fiscal
1996,  offset by lower  sales in the third  quarter of 1996 which are  generally
believed to be caused by reduced demand as a result of inventory  destocking and
softer market conditions.


        Including the effect of the newly-acquired businesses,  net sales of the
Company's six product groups were as follows:

The increases in net sales of the industrial, consumer and marine product groups
were primarily  attributable to the sales from the newly-acquired  businesses of
Rule and Cleveland  Europe.  Net sales of engineered  products were up from 1995
primarily  due to the  acquisition  of  Boride.  Net  sales  of the  electronics
products group increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, primarily
as a result of increased  sales realized in the first quarter of 1996.  Sales in
subsequent  quarters of fiscal 1996 have been adversely affected by a decline in
demand in Europe and, to a lesser  extent,  in the United  States.  Net sales of
energy and  construction  products were  affected by the  continued  increase in
demand for energy products.

        Gross profit increased 19.5% to $117.3 million from $98.2 million in the
comparable  period  in  1995,  primarily  as a  result  of the  sales  increases
discussed  above.  The gross profit  margin  decreased to 30.5% from 31.1%.  The
decrease in gross profit margin resulted  primarily from lower production levels
and  plant  inefficiencies  relating  to the  decline  in  sales  from  existing
businesses in the third quarter of 1996.

        SG&A expenses increased $13.2 million in the nine months ended September
30, 1996 and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales  increased to 17.3% from
16.8% in the  comparable  period in 1995. The increase was primarily a result of
the  Rule,  Cleveland  Europe  and  Boride  acquisitions,  and  a  $1.5  million
stock-based compensation charge discussed below.

        During the second quarter of 1996, the Company's  stockholders  approved
stock-based  compensation  plans for key  executives  of the Company under which
certain key executives may receive  restricted stock awards if certain criteria,
including  increases in the  Company's  stock price and earnings per share,  are
achieved over the next several years.  Compensation  expense charged in the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1996  pursuant  to such  plans was $1.5  million.
Compensation  charges  attributable to the plans in future periods,  if any, are
estimated  to be less than the  charge for the  current  period;  however,  such
charges  will be based in part on  changes  in the  Company's  stock  price  and
therefore may fluctuate significantly from period to period.

        Restructuring  costs of $4.0 million were recorded for the quarter ended
September  30, 1996 relating  primarily to severance and other  employee-related
costs  associated with the  reorganization  and  restructuring  of the Company's
business groups. In connection with this reorganization,  certain functions were
identified as redundant and will be combined or  eliminated,  with the objective
of making each  business  group more focused and  responsive  to its  respective
customer base. The Company  continues to evaluate its operations  with an intent
to  streamline  operations,  improve  productivity  and  reduce  costs  and  may
implement additional rationalization programs in the future.

        Operating income improved $1.9 million,  or 4.2%, to $46.9 million while
operating  margins  decreased  to 12.2% from 14.3%  during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended  September 30, 1995. The
improved operating income was due to the acquisitions of Rule,  Cleveland Europe
and Boride.  Operating  margins  declined due to the lower operating  margins of
Rule and Cleveland Europe as compared to the historical  margins of the Company,
the  lower  gross  margins  on  certain  existing  businesses,  the  stock-based
compensation charge and the restructuring charge, all discussed above.

        Interest  expense  increased  $2.5  million to $8.7 million for the nine
months  ended  September  30, 1996 from $6.2  million for the nine months  ended
September 30, 1995. The increase in interest  expense resulted from the increase
in the debt  level of the  Company,  which was  primarily  due to  acquisitions,
partially  offset by the proceeds  from the  issuance of the  company-obligated,
mandatorily  redeemable  convertible preferred securities during April 1996. The
net proceeds from such  issuance of  approximately  $110.8  million were used to
repay Company indebtedness.

        Dividends  on  company-obligated,   mandatorily  redeemable  convertible
preferred  securities of Greenfield Capital Trust were $3.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996.

        Provision  for income  taxes  decreased  to $14.3  million  for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of $1.4 million from the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, reflecting the lower pretax income.

        Net  income  decreased  to  $20.9  million  for the  nine  months  ended
September  30, 1996, a decrease of $2.2 million,  or 9.4%,  from the nine months
ended  September  30, 1995 as a result of the factors  noted above.  Primary and
fully  diluted  earnings  per share  decreased to $1.28 and $1.25 from $1.42 and
$1.42 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        During the nine months ended  September 30, 1996, cash used in operating
activities was  approximately  $4.7 million,  while during the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, cash provided by operating activities was approximately $5.4
million.  Cash used in operating  activities for the nine months ended September
30, 1996, was primarily due to a reduction in the accounts payable of Rule which
were past due at the time of the acquisition,  and to increased inventory levels
in the industrial products group in order to improve customer service and sales.

        The purchase prices for the 1996  acquisitions  of Rule,  Boride and ACT
totalled  approximately $96.5 million in cash. In addition,  the Company assumed
liabilities of the acquired  companies  totalling  approximately  $24.3 million,
including  $2.4 million in  acquisition  costs.  The Company  expects that these
acquisitions  will  expand  sales  and  product  offerings  in  the  industrial,
consumer, marine and engineered products markets.

        Cash was also used during the nine months ended  September  30, 1996 for
capital expenditures of approximately $21.8 million and the payment of dividends
of approximately $2.0 million on the common stock. Net borrowings of the Company
increased by approximately  $11.7 million in the nine months ended September 30,
1996.  During this  period the Company  borrowed  approximately  $128.4  million
primarily related to the

                                    Page 19
<PAGE>


acquisitions of Rule, Boride and ACT totalling  approximately  $96.5 million, as
well as  borrowings  for operating  activities.  These  borrowings  were largely
offset by the repayment of indebtedness  from the net proceeds of  approximately
$110.8 million from the issuance of the convertible preferred securities.

        During  the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995,  cash was used to
finance capital expenditures of approximately $17.7 million and pay dividends of
approximately  $1.4 million on the common stock.  Net  borrowings of the Company
increased by approximately  $30.7 million in the nine months ended September 30,
1995,  primarily due to the  acquisitions  of the American Mine Tool Division of
Valenite, Inc. ("AMT") and Van Keuren, Inc. ("VK") and the exercise of an option
to purchase shares of Rule. The purchase prices for the 1995 acquisitions of AMT
and VK and the Rule shares  totalled  approximately  $22.2  million in cash.  In
addition, the Company assumed liabilities of AMT and VK totalling  approximately
$3.0 million, including $0.3 million in acquisition costs.

        The Company has a $130 million senior unsecured credit facility provided
by five  institutions.  The domestic  facility includes a $110 million revolving
credit line and a $20 million  acquisition  line. As of September 30, 1996,  the
Company had $49.0  million  outstanding  under the  revolving  credit line.  The
revolving  credit line generally bears interest at floating rates based upon the
prime rate or LIBOR, at the option of the Company. As of September 30, 1996, the
interest  rate on  borrowings  under  the  revolving  credit  line  ranged  from
approximately  6.2% to  6.3%.  During  February  1996,  in  connection  with the
acquisition of Rule described  above,  the Company amended its senior  unsecured
credit facility to temporarily increase the acquisition line to $60 million from
$20  million.  The  additional  $40 million  acquisition  line was  subsequently
reduced to $20  million  in  connection  with the  issuance  of the  convertible
preferred securities.  As of September 30, 1996, the Company had no indebtedness
outstanding under the acquisition line.

        The Company also has a foreign  revolving credit facility which provides
for loans  denominated  in British  pounds or German  Deutschemarks  (limited to
9.5 pound sterling million and DM 21.0 million,  respectively). At September 30,
1996, the Company had 7.1 pound sterling million and DM 7.0 million  outstanding
under the  foreign  revolving  credit  facility.  The foreign  revolving  credit
facility  generally  bears  interest at floating  rates based upon LIBOR.  As of
September  30,  1996,   the  interest   rates  on  this  facility   ranged  from
approximately  4.3% to 6.9%.  As of  September  30,  1996,  the buying rates for
British  pounds and German  Deutschemarks  were $1.5653 per British pound and DM
1.5270 per dollar, respectively.

        The senior unsecured  domestic credit facility is scheduled to terminate
in November  1999 while the foreign  revolving  credit  facility is scheduled to
terminate in March 2000.  The  agreements  relating to both  facilities  contain
provisions which, among other things,  limit certain  additional  borrowings and
capital expenditures, require maintenance of certain

                                    Page 20
<PAGE>


minimum  working  capital  ratios and net worth levels and prohibit any material
guaranty,  endorsement or contingent liability with respect to the obligation or
liability of any other person.  At September 30, 1996 and 1995,  the Company was
in compliance with, or had obtained waivers of, such provisions.


        In  April  1996,   the  Company   completed  a  private   placement   to
institutional  investors of 2.3 million,  or $115.0 million in aggregate amount,
of  6%  convertible  preferred  securities   (liquidation   preference  $50  per
convertible  preferred  security).  The  placement  was made through  Greenfield
Capital Trust, a newly-formed  Delaware business trust. The securities represent
undivided beneficial ownership interests in the Trust and are fully, irrevocably
and unconditionally guaranteed by Greenfield.  Greenfield owns all of the common
securities of the Trust.  The assets of the Trust consist solely of Greenfield's
6% Convertible Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures Due 2016 which
were  acquired  with the proceeds of the  offering.  The  convertible  preferred
securities are convertible at the option of the holders thereof at any time into
the common stock of  Greenfield at an effective  conversion  price of $41.25 per
share and are  redeemable  at  Greenfield's  option  after April 15,  1999.  The
approximately  $110.8  million  net  proceeds  of  the  offering  were  used  by
Greenfield to retire indebtedness.  A registration statement relating to resales
of  such  convertible   preferred  securities  was  declared  effective  by  the
Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 1996.

        On  March  29,  June 28 and  September  30,  1996,  the  Company  paid a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share to common  stockholders  of record on
March 8, June 10 and September 10, 1996, respectively.

        On  July  1 and  September  30,  1996,  Greenfield  Capital  Trust  paid
quarterly cash dividends totalling  approximately $3.0 million to holders of the
convertible preferred securities.

        As of September 30, 1996, the Company had a backlog of $40.1 million, as
compared  to $44.3  million as of  December  31,  1995.  The  Company's  backlog
consists of firm customer  purchase  orders which are subject to cancellation by
the customer upon notification.  The Company  anticipates that approximately 90%
of its  backlog at any given time will be  shipped  within the next  three-month
period.

        Based on its current  operating plans, the Company believes that it will
have  sufficient  cash from  operations  and/or  availability  from its existing
credit  facilities  to meet its  currently  anticipated  needs for liquidity and
capital expenditures.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS


        During the third quarter of 1996, the Company  recorded a  restructuring
charge of $4 million  ($2.4  million,  net of tax  benefits) or $0.15 per common
share.  These costs were  primarily  related to employee  severance  and certain
other  nonrecurring  charges resulting from the effects of the reorganization of
the Company's business groups. In connection with this  reorganization,  certain
functions were identified as redundant and are being  eliminated or consolidated
into other  locations  with the  objective  of making each  business  group more
responsive  to  its  respective  customer  base  and  to  enhance  manufacturing
efficiencies.  This  restructuring  has resulted in a reduction in personnel and
the elimination of certain duplicate  functions,  thereby eliminating  excessive
costs and  redundancies  in future  periods.  The $4.0 million  charge  includes
employee-related  costs  (primarily  severance and  relocation),  write-downs of
idled  plant  assets and other  nonrecurring  items.  Of the total $4.0  million
charge,  approximately  $0.4 million had been incurred as of September 30, 1996.
The Company  expects to incur the remaining  costs during the fourth  quarter of
1996 and early 1997.
