INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Engineered Fasteners Division
A Division of Eaton Corporation

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Engineered Fasteners
Division (the "Company"), a division of Eaton Corporation (the "Parent"), as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related combined statements of income and
comprehensive income, parent's equity and of cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1998. These combined financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these combined 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the combined financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1998
and 1997, and the combined results of its operations and its combined cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

A DIVISION OF EATON CORPORATION

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.      PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION, BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
        AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        COMBINATION AND PRESENTATION - The combined financial statements include
        the accounts of Eaton Corporation's Engineered Fasteners Division (the
        "Company") of Eaton Corporation (the "Parent"), including the Fastener
        Division of Eaton Yale Limited, a Canadian Subsidiary of Eaton
        Corporation. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have
        been eliminated within the Company.

        On September 1, 1999, substantially all of the Company's operating
        assets were acquired and certain of its liabilities were assumed by
        TransTechnology Corporation. The accompanying financial statements are
        presented under the Company's historical basis of accounting and do not
        reflect any adjustments which would be required as a result of the
        acquisition by TransTechnology Corporation. Company management believes
        that the financial statements reflect all material expenses of the
        Company assuming the Company was organized as a stand-alone legal
        entity, including specifically identifiable costs incurred by the Parent
        on behalf of, and charged to, the Company.

        BUSINESS DESCRIPTION - The Company operates primarily under the
        Tinnerman (R) brand name, principally in the formed metal products
        industry, manufacturing threaded and other formed metal fasteners
        generally in accordance with blueprints and specifications for
        particular uses for customers' transportation products, domestic and
        commercial appliances, industrial electric equipment and heavy
        construction equipment. The Company has manufacturing facilities in
        Brunswick and Massillon, Ohio, and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

        The Company derived revenues from customers in the United States of
        approximately $79 million, $79.1 million, and $75.7 million in fiscal
        years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The remainder of the Company's
        revenues are related to customers outside of the United States. The
        Company had long-lived assets located in the United States of
        approximately $13.3 million and $8 million at December 31, 1998 and
        December 31, 1997, respectively. The remainder of the Company's
        long-lived assets are related to operations in Canada

        ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ALLOWANCES - The Company provides allowances for
        losses estimated to be incurred on existing trade accounts receivable.
        The allowances are based on historical collection experience and
        specific identification.

        INVENTORIES - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market,
        with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

        PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and equipment are
        recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
        method over the estimated useful lives, which range from 10 to 40 years
        for building and building improvements and 3 to 10 years for machinery
        and equipment and furniture and fixtures. The Company is accounting for
        the costs of new software in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1,
        "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
        Internal Use." Accordingly, costs have been expensed or capitalized
        depending on whether they were incurred in the



                                    8
<PAGE>   9

        preliminary project stage, application development stage, or post
        implementation stage. Reengineering, training, and other costs such as
        data conversion have been expensed as incurred.

        PENSION AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS - Certain employees of the
        Company are eligible for benefits provided under various pension and
        post-retirement plans administered by the Parent. The corresponding
        assets and liabilities associated with these plans are recorded by the
        Parent and are not included in the balance sheet as the assets and
        liabilities are being retained by the Parent.

        INCOME TAXES - The results of domestic and Canadian operations of the
        Company are included in the Parent's consolidated tax returns. For
        purposes of these stand-alone financial statements, income taxes are
        determined as though the Company filed separate U.S. federal, Canadian,
        state and local corporate income tax returns. Current taxes payable for
        U.S. federal, state, local and Canadian taxes are reflected in the
        Parent's equity account. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
        recognized for the estimated future effects of differences between the
        basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax
        purposes giving consideration to enacted tax laws.

        FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - The balance sheet of the Company's
        Canadian operations is translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in
        effect at the balance sheet date. Canadian operating results are
        translated at weighted average exchange rates in effect during the
        period. Net unrealized translation gains (losses) are recorded as a
        component of the Parent's equity.

        REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenue is recognized when products are shipped to
        customers. Sales returns and allowances are treated as a reduction to
        sales and are provided for based on historical experience and current
        estimates.

        RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - The Financial Accounting
        Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
        ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
        Activities," effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
        SFAS No. 133 provides a comprehensive and consistent standard for the
        recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities. The
        Company has not yet determined what effect this statement will have on
        the earnings and financial position of the Company.

        USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
        make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
        assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
        liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
        amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
        results could differ from those estimates.

</TABLE>


        Included in accounts payable at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are
        liabilities in the amount of $896,482 and $171,145, respectively, for
        checks issued in excess of bank balances but not yet presented for
        collection.

4.      CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND SALES TO MAJOR CUSTOMERS

        The Company maintains ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and
        generally requires no collateral or other security to guarantee trade
        receivables. The Company provides reserves against potential credit
        losses based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific
        customers, historical trends and other information. Net sales to one
        customer accounted for 32 percent, 29 percent and 30 percent of total
        net sales for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
        respectively. The receivable from this customer was approximately
        $2,755,000 and $2,729,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
        1997, respectively.

5.      RETIREMENT PLANS

        The Parent has a 401(k) defined contribution plan in which substantially
        all domestic salaried employees are eligible to participate.
        Participants may contribute up to 17 percent of their salary with the
        Parent matching between 25 percent and 100 percent of their
        contributions up to 6 percent of their salary. The Company's expense for
        this plan was $333,429, $259,520 and $276,088 for the years ended
        December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

        The Company's expense for benefits provided under the various pension
        and post-retirement plans administered by the Parent was approximately
        $856,000, $733,000 and $668,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998,
        1997 and 1996, respectively.

6.      INCOME TAXES

        Income tax expense for domestic and foreign operations that file a
        combined tax return with the Parent was calculated utilizing statutory
        rates multiplied by pretax income as adjusted for known book tax
        differences.

        Income tax provision/(benefit) for the years ended December 31, 1998,
        1997 and 1996 consists of the following:

     Effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rates primarily
     due to foreign, state and local income taxes and nondeductible expenses
     (principally meals and entertainment). All tax payments on the Company's
     behalf are made by the Parent.

7.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     As the Company is a division of the Parent, customary equity and capital
     accounts are not maintained. Instead, the Parent's equity is utilized to
     account for all transactions between the Company and the Parent. As a
     division, the Company records corporate general and administrative expenses
     for services provided to the Company by the Parent, including legal,
     treasury and accounting functions.

     The Canadian division has a royalty agreement with the Parent whereby the
     Canadian division pays the Parent a five percent royalty on all shipments.
     The royalty is in consideration for the product design, patent development,
     and technical assistance provided to the Canadian division by the Parent
     during the manufacturing and sales process. Total royalty expense was
     $1,686,002, $1,695,088 and $1,573,080 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

8.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company leases certain facilities and various equipment under
     noncancelable leases expiring through March 2004. The future minimum
     obligations under non-cancelable operating leases in effect at December 31,
     1998 are $179,193 in 1999; $181,764 in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003; and
     $45,441 thereafter. Total rental expense for operating leases was $509,344,
     $579,362 and $689,103 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     Certain claims, suits and complaints arising in the ordinary course of
     business have been filed or are pending against the Company. In the
     opinion of management, the results of all such matters will not have a
     material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of
     operations or cash flows.

                     PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  INTRODUCTION

                                   (Unaudited)

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information presented herein gives
effect to the purchase of substantially all of the net assets of the Engineered
Fasteners Division ("Tinnerman") of Eaton Corporation ("Eaton") by
TransTechnology Corporation ("TTC") effective August 31, 1999. TTC's fiscal year
ends on March 31, and Eaton's fiscal year ends on December 31.

A pro forma combined balance sheet is not presented herein as the consolidated
balance sheet of TTC at September 26, 1999 includes the assets and liabilities
of Tinnerman. That consolidated balance sheet was included in TTC's Form 10-Q,
filed on November 9, 1999.

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations data being presented
for the twelve month period ended March 31, 1999 combines Tinnerman's audited
twelve months of operations ended December 31, 1998 with TTC's twelve months of
operations ended March 31, 1999. The pro forma adjustments to the statement of
operations assume that the acquisition was consummated as of April 1, 1998.

In addition, unaudited pro forma statement of operations are presented for the
six-month period ended September 26, 1999, which reflect results of operations
of Tinnerman for this six month period. The pro forma adjustments to the
statement of operations assume that the acquisition was consummated as of April
1, 1998.

The accompanying pro forma statements of operations include adjustments to
reflect additional depreciation and amortization resulting from the preliminary
allocation of purchase price of $173 million to the net assets acquired,
additional interest expense for debt incurred to finance the acquisition and
debt issue cost amortization. In addition, the pro forma results of operations
eliminate amounts related to the metal headlight shield product line of
Tinnerman which was discontinued by Eaton. Also, certain costs and expenses,
specifically royalty payments to Eaton, software installation costs and costs of
Eaton benefit plans which will not have a continuing impact or were incidental
to the Tinnerman operation acquired by TTC, have been eliminated in the
accompanying pro forma combined statements of operations.

The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations are intended for
informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the future
results of operations or operations of the combined company had the acquisition
taken place as of April 1, 1998. These unaudited pro forma combined statements
of operations and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the
combined financial statements, including the accompanying notes, of Tinnerman
which are included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A and the consolidated financial
statements of TTC which are included in TTC's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended March 31, 1999 and the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period
ended September 26, 1999.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made that are necessary
to present fairly the pro forma data.
