                         Independent Auditors' Report



The Board of Directors and Stockholders
NSK-Warner Kabushiki Kaisha:



We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of NSK-Warner Kabushiki Kaisha
as of March 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related statements of earnings,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended March 31, 1996.  These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of NSK-Warner Kabushiki Kaisha as
of March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 1996 in
conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in notes 1(e) and 5, the Company changed its method of accounting
for investments to adopt the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", as of April 1, 1994.

The accompanying financial statements have been translated into United States
dollars solely for the convenience of the reader.  We have recomputed the
translation and, in our opinion, the financial statements expressed in yen have
been translated into United States dollars on the basis set forth in note 1(m)
of the notes to financial statements.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                         March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994



(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a)  Description of Business
          The Company operates a plant in Fukuroi City in Shizuoka Prefecture in
          Japan engaged in the production of one-way clutch and related parts,
          and friction plates and related parts.  These products relate to the
          automatic mission system of passenger cars.  The Company sells most of
          its products to Nihon Seiko Kabusiki Kaisha, a 50% stockholder of the
          Company.  The products are eventually sold to the automotive industry.

          The Company's sales for the year ended March 31, 1996 were distributed
          as follows:  one-way clutch and related parts - 58%, friction plates
          and related parts - 42%.

     (b)  Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements
          The Company maintains its books of account in conformity with
          financial accounting standards of Japan.  However, the accompanying
          financial statements have been prepared in a manner and reflect those
          adjustments which management believes are necessary to conform with
          generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  Such
          adjustments are summarized in note 13.

     (c)  Cash Equivalents
          For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers
          all time deposits with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
          equivalents.

     (d)  Inventories
          Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is
          determined using the first-in, first-out method for parts and raw
          materials and the average method for work in process and supplies.


                                                                    (Continued)

                        Notes to Financial Statements

                        March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994


(e)  Marketable Investment Securities
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting
     for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", was issued in May
     1993.  This Statement addresses the accounting and reporting for
     investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair
     values and for all investments in debt securities.  The Company initially
     applied this Statement as of April 1, 1994.  Under SFAS No. 115,
     debt securities that are classified as "held to maturity securities" are
     reported at amortized cost.  Debt and equity securities classified as
     "trading securities" are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and
     losses included in earnings.  Other debt and equity securities are
     classified as "available-for-sale securities" and are reported at fair
     value, with unrealized gains or losses net of deferred taxes reported as a
     separate component of stockholders' equity.  All of the Company's
     marketable investment securities are classified as "available-for-sale." 
     As a result of adopting SFAS No. 115, the carrying values of investments
     increased by Yen 315,637 thousand, deferred tax liabilities increased by
     Yen 160,975 thousand and stockholders' equity increased by Yen 154,662
     thousand, all at April 1, 1994.  Prior to April 1, 1994, marketable equity
     securities were carried at lower of cost or market, and other investments
     were carried at cost. 

     A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale securities below
     cost that is deemed other than temporary results is charged to earnings
     resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

     Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale
     are included in earnings and are derived using the average method for
     determining the cost of securities sold.

     Marketable investment securities at March 31, 1994 include equity
     securities and convertible bonds stated at the lower of cost or market

                         Notes to Financial Statements


          Research and development costs charged to earnings for the years ended
          March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 amounted to Yen 1,215,177 thousand
          ($11,464 thousand), Yen 1,144,668 thousand and Yen 1,093,137 thousand,
          respectively.

     (j)  Income Taxes
          Effective April 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,
          "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under the asset and liability method of
          SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
          the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences
          between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
          and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and
          tax credit carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
          measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
          in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
          recovered or settled.  Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax
          assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
          income in the period that includes the enactment date.

     (k)  Retirement and Severance Benefits
          The Company accounts for its defined benefit pension plans and
          retirement plans in accordance with the Statement of Financial
          Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for
          Pensions".

     (l)  Use of Estimates
          Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and
          assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and
          the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these
          financial statements in conformity with United States generally
          accepted accounting principles.  Actual results could differ from
          those estimates.

     (m)  U.S. Dollar Amounts
          The accompanying financial statements are expressed in Japanese yen as
          of and for the year ended March 31, 1996, the currency of the country
          in which the Company operates.  The translation of Japanese yen
          amounts into U.S. dollar amounts is included solely for the
          convenience of readers and has been made at the rate of Yen 106 to
          US $1, the approximate rate of exchange reported by the Tokyo Foreign
          Exchange Market on March 31, 1996.  Such translation should not be
          construed as a representation that the amounts shown could be
          converted into U.S. dollars at the above rate.

(2)  Assets Pledged
     At March 31, 1996, land and buildings amounting to Yen 5,106,333 thousand
     ($48,173 thousand) at net book value were pledged as security for long-term
     debt.

     The long-term debt agreements provide, among other things, that, if
     requested, the Company submit to the lenders for approval the proposed
     appropriation of earnings (including dividends) before such appropriation
     can be submitted to the stockholders.

(7)  Income Taxes
     As discussed in note 1(i), effective April 1, 1993, the Company adopted
     SFAS No. 109.  The effect of adopting this new accounting pronouncement was
     not material.

     The Company is subject to a number of taxes based on income, which in the
     aggregate result in a normal tax rate of approximately 51%.

     The effective tax rates of the Company for the years ended March 31, 1996,
     1995 and 1994 differ from the normal income tax rate for the following
     reasons:

     There was no valuation allowance on deferred tax assets at March 31, 1996
     and 1995.  In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets,
     management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion
     or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate
     realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of
     future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
     differences become deductible.  Management considers the scheduled reversal
     of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income in making this
     assessment.  Based upon the level of historical taxable income and
     projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred
     tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not
     the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at
     March 31, 1996.

     The Company's corporate tax returns through March 31, 1995 have been
     examined by the Japanese tax authorities.

                                                                   (Continued)

(8)  Retirement and Severance Benefits
     Employees of the Company are covered by the following defined pension and
     severance benefit plans.

     The Company has an unfunded lump-sum payment retirement plan covering
     substantially all employees.  Under the plan, employees are entitled to
     lump-sum payments based on current rate of pay, length of service and      
     certain other factors upon retirement or termination of employment for
     reasons other than dismissal for cause.  Directors and statutory auditors
     are covered by a separate plan.  It was not the policy of the Company to
     fund the retirement and severance benefits described above.

     The Company also has a funded pension plan covering substantially all
     employees who meet age and service plan requirements.  Net periodic
     pension cost of the plans was calculated using the unit credit actuarial
     cost method.

     The funded status of the plans as of March 31, 1996 and 1995 is a follows:

(9)  Legal Reserve and Cash Dividends
     The Japanese Commercial Code provides that at least ten percent of any
     cash payments out of retained earnings be appropriated as a legal reserve
     until such reserve equals 25% of stated capital.  This reserve is not
     available   for dividends, but may be used to reduce a deficit or be
     transferred to stated capital.  Presently, the legal reserve is equal to
     the maximum requirement of 25% of stated capital.

     Cash dividends charged to retained earnings during the three years ended
     March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 represent dividends paid out during those
     years.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any provision
     for a dividend to be proposed by the Board of Directors of Yen 20,000
     ($189) per share aggregating Yen 1,100,000 thousand ($10,377 thousand) and
     reversal of reserve for replacement of property amounting to Yen 50,112
     thousand ($473 thousand)(see note 10) in respect of the year ended March
     31, 1996.

(10) Balances and Transactions with Affiliated Companies
     The Company is a joint-venture corporation and its capital stock is held in
     equal amounts by NSK Ltd. and Borg-Warner Automotive NW Corporation, a
     wholly-owned subsidiary of Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

        On June 30, 1988, the Company sold land and a part of factory buildings
        of the Fujisawa plant to NSK Ltd. in connection with the relocation of 
        its manufacturing facilities to the new factory in Shizuoka 
        Prefecture. The capital gain resulting therefrom was recognized as 
        income for the year ended March 31, 1989. However, as permitted under 
        the Special Taxation Measures Law, capital gain has been deferred for 
        tax purposes as reserve for replacement of property as an appropriation
        of retained earnings. The related deferred income tax liability at 
        March 31, 1996 and 1995 in the amount of Yen 478,810 thousand
        ($4,517 thousand) and Yen 504,368 thousand, respectively, has been 
        provided in the accompanying balance sheets (see notes 6, 7 and 9).

(11)    Commitments and Contingent Liability
        At March 31, 1996, the Company had commitments for the purchase of
        property, plant and equipment of approximately Yen 37,038 thousand 
        ($349 thousand).

        The Company utilizes certain facilities, including warehouses and
        employee dormitories, under cancellable lease agreements with third
        parties. Rent expense for the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 
        1994 under the foregoing lease agreements amounted to Yen 215,395 
        thousand ($2,032 thousand), Yen 213,714 thousand and Yen 209,597 
        thousand, respectively.

        The Company had no noncancellable lease commitments at March 31, 1996.

(12)    Disclosure About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments
        Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term investments, Receivables, Trade
        and other payables and Accrued expenses:
                The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the
                short maturity of these instruments.

        Marketable investments securities:
                The fair values of the Company's investments in securities are
                based on market related prices (see note 5).

        Short-term bank loans and current installment of long-term debt:
                The carrying amount of the Company's borrowings under its
                short-term revolving credit agreements and current installment 
                of long-term debt approximate their fair value because of the 
                short maturity of these instruments.

                                                                   (Continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements


Long-term debt:

     The fair values of each of the Company's long-term debt instruments are
     based on the present value of future cash flows associated with each
     instrument discounted using the Company's current borrowing rate for
     similar debt instruments of comparable maturity.

     The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt at March 31, 1996
     and 1995 are as follows:
