                 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Consolidated Financial Statements
- ------------------------------------------

The consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, cash flow and
stockholders' equity for the periods ended September 30, 1999 and September 30,
1998 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of
Management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations, and changes in cash flows at September 30, 1999 (which
include only normal recurring adjustments), have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company's March 31, 1999, annual report to shareholders. The results of
operations for the six months ended September 30, 1999, are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share
- ---------------------------

Net income per share - basic - excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
reporting period. Net income per share - diluted - reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if stock options and warrants were exercised.

statements of Transmation, Inc. as of September 30, 1999 and 1998 and for the
six and three month periods then ended. This information should be read in
conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto.

Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------

This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Although the Company
believes expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital are funds provided
through its borrowing agreement with banks, its profitability and management of
its Balance Sheet.

In the first six months of fiscal 2000, the company reduced the amount of trade
accounts receivable by $1,502,934. During the same period, inventories increased
by $857,616 and accounts payable decreased by $4,321,091. The reduction in
accounts payable resulted primarily from the liquidation of payables acquired in
the February, 1999 Metermaster acquisition. Bank debt increased by $2,959,600 as
the result of the foregoing. It is the Company's intention to reduce trade
receivables and inventories during the balance of the current fiscal year and to
use cash to reduce bank debt and otherwise fund ongoing business needs. During
the quarter ended September 30, 1999, trade receivables were reduced by
$1,678,146 and inventories were reduced by $387,900, trade payables were reduced
$1,920,883 and accrued liabilities were reduced by $414,027. Considering the
foregoing together with cash flow generated from operations, bank debt was
reduced by $811,900 in the three month period ended September 30, 1999.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Comparison of July 1, 1999 - September 30, 1999
- -----------------------------------------------
                           to
              July 1, 1998 - September 30, 1998
              ---------------------------------

Sales totaled $19,210,385 in the quarter ended September 30, 1999. This compares
to sales of $16,338,809 recorded in the same quarter in 1998. The increase in
1999 is primarily the result of the Company's acquisition of Metermaster in
February, 1999.

Cost of products sold totaled 67.7% of sales in 1999 compared to 66% of sales in
1998. Certain service locations and other operations acquired in the February,
1999 Metermaster acquisition have sustained greater operating cost levels than
have historically existed within the Company. The Company has taken action and
will continue to take required actions to reduce operating costs at all
locations. Selling and administrative expenses totaled 24.2% of sales in the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 compared to 25.1% of sales in the same period
one year ago. This improvement is due largely to economies of scale which
resulted from the higher sales levels that have been achieved. Interest expense
increased by nearly $100,000 or 17.9% in the quarter ended September 30, 1999
compared to the same quarter in 1998. This increase resulted from additional
borrowings undertaken due to the Metermaster acquisition in February, 1999.

Comparison of April 1, 1999 - September 30, 1999
- ------------------------------------------------
                            to
              April 1, 1998 - September 30, 1998
              ----------------------------------

Sales totaled $39,245,199 in the six months ended September 30, 1999. This
compares to sales of $34,298,118 in the same six month period in 1998. The
increase in 1999 is primarily the result of the Company's acquisition of
Metermaster in February, 1999.

Cost of products sold totaled 67.8% of sales in 1999 compared to 65.9% of sales
in 1998. Certain service locations and other operations acquired in the
February, 1999 Metermaster acquisition have greater operating cost levels than
have historically existed within the Company. The Company has and will continue
to take action to reduce operating costs at all locations to appropriate levels.
Selling and administrative expenses in the six months ended September 30, 1999
totaled 24.3% of sales compared to 25.5% of sales in the same six months in
1998. Interest expense increased by 15% in the six months ended September 30,
1999 compared to the same period in 1998. This increase resulted from additional
borrowings undertaken due to the Metermaster acquisition in February, 1999.

                                TRANSMATION, INC.

        Eric W. McInroy and John A. Misiaszek, being the President and
Secretary, respectively, of Transmation, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the
"Corporation"), do hereby certify that the annual meeting of shareholders of the
Corporation was duly called and held on August 17, 1999, at which meeting a

following resolution was adopted:

                      RESOLVED, that the Articles of Incorporation be amended to
