         This Amendment No. 5/Final (this "Amendment No. 5") is to the
Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Statement") with respect to the acquisition by
UD Nevada Corp., a Nevada corporation ("Purchaser") and an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of United Dominion Industries Limited, a corporation organized
under the laws of Canada ("Parent"), of beneficial ownership of shares of
Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Shares"), of Core Industries Inc,
a Nevada corporation (the "Company"). Purchaser acquired beneficial ownership
of Shares reported hereby pursuant to its offer to purchase all outstanding
Shares, at a price of $25.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without
interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
Purchaser's Offer to Purchase dated July 2, 1997 and in the related Letter of
Transmittal, copies of which were filed as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2) to the
Statement, respectively, and pursuant to the merger (the "Merger") of the
Company with and into Purchaser pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger,
as amended (the "Merger Agreement"), among Purchaser, Parent and the Company
dated June 25, 1997, a copy of which was filed as Exhibits (c)(1) and (c)(4) to
the Statement. The Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on July 2, 1997 on Schedule 14D-1 and Schedule 13D . The item
numbers and responses thereto below are in accordance with the requirements of
Schedule 14D-1. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 5 but not defined
herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Offer to Purchase and
the Statement.

         This Amendment No. 5 reports that pursuant to the Merger Agreement the
Company was merged with and into Purchaser effective October 1, 1997.
Immediately following the Merger, Purchaser amended its Articles of
Incorporation to change its name to "Core Industries Inc".

ITEM 5.      PURPOSE OF THE TENDER OFFER AND PLANS OR PROPOSALS OF THE
             BIDDER.

         Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding to the end thereof
the following:

             On October 1, 1997, the Company was mergerd with and into
         Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Immediately
         following the Merger, Purchaser amended its Articles of Incorporation
         to change its name to "Core Industries Inc". As a result of the
         Merger, all Shares, other than Shares held by Parent, Purchaser, the
         Company, or those stockholders perfecting dissenters' rights under
         Nevada Law, were converted into the right to receive $25.00 in cash.
         Upon completion of the Merger, the New York Stock Exchange suspended
         trading in the Shares and commenced proceedings to delist the Shares.
         Purchaser, as successor to the Company, will promptly file with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission a notice on Form 15 to suspend the
         Company's further reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange
         Act of 1934, as amended.
