PART I
Item 1. Business
(a) General Development of Business
Registrant was organized in 1983 as a Delaware holding
company and is the successor to Graham Manufacturing Co., Inc., now
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Graham Manufacturing
Co., Inc. was organized in 1936 under the laws of the State of New
York. The Registrant manages the activities of various
subsidiaries that are located in the United States and the United
Kingdom. It employs 11 people, which includes the Research and
Development Group that serves each of the Registrant's
subsidiaries.
UNITED STATES OPERATIONS:
During 1995 the Registrant's U.S. operations consisted of
one independent subsidiary, namely, Graham Manufacturing Co., Inc.
(GMC).
Graham Manufacturing Co., Inc. -- Batavia, New York
Graham Manufacturing Co., Inc. (GMC) in Batavia, New York
is a well recognized supplier of steam jet ejector vacuum systems,
surface condensers for steam turbines, liquid ring vacuum pumps and
compressors, and various types of heat exchangers such as Heliflow,
plate and frame, and special types of nuclear shell and tube heat
exchangers. GMC possesses expertise in combining these various
products into packaged systems for sale to its customers in a
variety of industrial markets, including oil refining, chemical,
petrochemical, power, pulp and paper, and shipbuilding.
1995 sales for Graham Manufacturing Co., Inc. (GMC) were
$45.4 million, about 5% more than forecasted, and 7% above the
business plan for 1995. Throughout the year, new orders improved,
which provided an opportunity to increase shipments in the second
half of the year. A union attempt to organize GMC production
workers had a negative impact on the first half. A majority of the
Company's production workers ultimately voted against the union.
New orders for the year were $48.3 million, the highest
in the Company's history, and reflected increased activity in the
Company's export markets. For the first time in the Company's
history, more than half of GMC's new business came from export
sources. Countries in Asia accounted for over half of the export
business the Company received, with the remaining half from the
Middle East, Canada and South America. New orders from western
Europe represented a 100% increase as compared to the previous
year. This was partly due to the sale of Graham Manufacturing
Limited in the U.K., which gave GMC an opportunity to compete more
freely in the western European countries.
GMC's backlog on December 31, 1995 was $21.1 million,
which compares to $18.1 million at the same time in 1994. The
increased backlog should result in an improvement in shipments for
the first half of 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995.
5
Major achievements for 1995 included:
- exceeding the business plan for the year;
- reducing debt to the lowest level in over five years; and
- bringing new orders for export to more than half of all
new orders, the highest level of export orders in GMC's
history.
Since October of 1995, the rate of new orders has dropped
to an annualized rate of $42 million. However, there is reason to
believe that new orders should improve as 1996 progresses.
Petrochemical and fertilizers are two of the most
promising markets served by GMC, in view of activity related to new
ethylene, ammonia and urea plant projects currently in the planning
stages. Although ethylene prices have softened, China's emerging
role in the market could bring a renewed demand for the product,
with as many as 25 new plants expected to be built in the next two
years.
New ammonia plants are now in the planning stage, and
there continues to be a demand for urea production capacity that
will continue well into 1996. Refinery work is not expected to be
as active as it was in 1995. While oil companies are boosting
capital expenditures for 1996, the emphasis is on exploration and
crude oil production, which is not an area of the oil industry that
offers business potential to GMC. Ultimately, as oil production
increases, there is likely to be an increase in demand for more
refinery capacity in the future, bringing increased demand for
process condensers and vacuum systems of the type manufactured by
Graham. The Company's reputation for experience, quality and
efficiency are excellent in this area.
Graham sales to power plants in the U.S. are probably not
going to improve during the year, but overseas the power industry
should offer some opportunity for new business. GMC's export
markets are expected to continue to be an important part of the
Company's business in 1996.
Employment at GMC as of December 31, 1995 was 312, of
which 9 were temporary or part time employees.
UNITED KINGDOM OPERATIONS:
During 1995, Graham Corporation owned one manufacturing
subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Graham Precision Pumps Limited
(GPPL) in Congleton, Cheshire. Ownership was through its U.K.
holding company, Graham Vacuum & Heat Transfer Limited (GVHT), which
has no employees.
Graham Precision Pumps Limited - Congleton, Cheshire
GPPL manufactures liquid ring vacuum pumps, rotary piston
pumps, oil sealed rotary vane pumps, atmospheric air operated
ejectors and complete vacuum pump systems that are factory
assembled with self-supporting structure.
6
GPPL's 1995 sales of $5,494,000 were lower than the
previous year, as overall the markets were less buoyant and GPPL
was unable to maintain the order intake rate achieved in 1994.
As in 1994, competitive pricing and delivery continued to
be the key to achieving most of GPPL's orders, which in turn
demanded a high level of flexibility in manufacturing. Overall, in
spite of the lower total value, the sales achieved by GPPL
represented a favorable mix and produced a contribution level which
with lower overheads resulted in a small profit.
In 1996, the U.K. and European markets remain uncertain
in spite of favorable forecasts in some countries. GPPL's 1996
business plan forecasts an improvement in specific market sectors
to give limited growth over 1995 by means of further market
development efforts.
A restructured plan for the U.S.A. market is in the
process of development, and is timed to provide an increase in
sales in 1996.
As of December 31, 1995 employment stood at 74.
Capital Expenditures
The Registrant's capital expenditures for 1995 amounted
to $204,000. Of this amount, $159,000 was for GMC and $45,000 was
in the U.K.

7
amount of the Registrant's assets or that otherwise is material.
(iii) Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
Registrant experienced no serious material shortages in 1995.
(iv) Material Patents, Trademarks
Registrant holds no material patents, trademarks, licenses,
franchises or concessions the loss of which would have a materially
adverse effect upon the business of the Registrant.
(v) Seasonal Variations

equipment in their manufacturing and refining processes, as well as
large engineering contractors who build installations for such
companies and others.
No material part of Registrant's business is dependent upon a
single customer or on a few customers, the loss of any one or more
of whom would have a materially adverse effect on Registrant's
business.
No customer of Registrant or group of related customers regularly
accounts for as much as 10% of Registrant's consolidated annual
revenue.
(viii) Order Backlog
Backlog of unfilled orders at December 31, 1995 was $21,837,000,
compared to $18,997,000 in 1994 and $17,070,000 in 1993.

in manufacturing similar products. Registrant is a relatively
small factor in the product areas in which it is engaged with the
exception of steam jet ejectors. Registrant believes it is one of
the leading manufacturers of steam jet ejectors.

were about 127% greater than 1994 and about 10% greater than 1993.
The 1994 operations included litigation expense of $1,502,000.
Improved 1995 results as compared to 1993 were due to greater sales
and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses.
Graham Precision Pumps Limited's operating profit for the
current year was about 59% less than 1994 and 157% greater than
1993. The company enjoyed an unusually strong operating
performance in 1994.
In January 1995 the stock of Graham Manufacturing Limited was
sold for the assumption of debt. The net write off of $8,475,000
was recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under
Loss From Discontinued Operations and Loss From Disposal of
Discontinued Operations in 1994.
In December 1994 the real estate of L&A Engineering and
Equipment Inc. was sold for $880,000. A $31,000 after tax gain on
the sale was recognized as income under Loss From Disposal of
Discontinued Operations in 1994. L&A Engineering and Equipment
Inc. was reported as a discontinued operation in 1991.

Net Sales
Consolidated sales for 1995 of $49,480,000 represents a 4.5%
increase over 1994 and a 9.5% increase over 1993.
U.S. 1995 operations recorded increased sales of about 8% more
than 1994. Virtually every major product category saw increased
sales in 1995 with the exception of surface condensers. Sales by
major market sector were proportionately increased over 1994 except
for a small increase in the chemical sector and a decrease in the
refinery sector. Sales in 1994 exceeded 1993 sales by about 3%.
This increase resulted from improved surface condenser sales.
Sales by market breakdown showed a decrease in activity in the
power sector, but large increases in the chemical and refinery
markets.
U.K. sales in 1995 decreased almost 17% from 1994. Sales for
1994 were about 20% greater than 1993. As noted elsewhere, sales
were down in 1995 due to the lack of major project work and
offshore demand. Sales were up in 1994 over 1993 due to stronger
offshore demand, particularly in the China Sea.
Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit margins for 1995, 1994 and 1993 were
about 26%. Gross profit margins from the U.S. operation for 1995,
1994, and 1993 were about 25%, 24% and 26%, respectively. Graham
Precision Pumps gross profit margins for 1995 decreased to about
28% from about 36% in 1994 as a result of fewer sales and less
favorable product mix. Gross profit margins in 1993 were about
26%.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses continued the
downward trend initiated in 1993. This three year trend is
expected to reverse in 1996 as the company's strategic plan calls
for a pro-active niche marketing effort and increased research and
development programs in potentially expanding market areas.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the current year increased about 17% over
1994 even though interest bearing debt decreased significantly from
December 31, 1994. The company's borrowings to finance 1994 fourth
quarter shipments resulted in greater interest expense the first
part of 1995. Interest expense in 1994 was down slightly from
1993. This was due to management's efforts in reducing debt and
working capital requirements.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates for 1995, 1994 and 1993 related
to continuing operations were 37%, 95% and 24%. The current year's
consolidated effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate
mainly due to a reduction in state deferred tax assets recognized
under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109. The
unusually large effective tax rate recognized in 1994 resulted from
the disallowance of capital losses incurred with the disposal of
15
Graham Manufacturing Limited. The 1993 tax provision was reduced
as a result of the favorable reversal of a tax reserve established
in a previous year. For an in depth analysis of the tax provision,
see Note 9 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Working Capital
Working capital available to finance current operations at
December 31, 1995 was $7,074,000. This compares to $6,845,000 at
December 31, 1994. Current assets as of December 31, 1995 were
about 3% greater than 1994. The accounts receivable balance was
down almost 11% as a result of improved cash collections.
Inventory on hand at December 31, 1995 increased about 46% or
$2,074,000 over 1994. This increase is attributed to increased
inventory in selected standard products stocked to shorten delivery
times and the status of specific jobs in work-in-process as of
December 31, 1995. Deferred tax assets decreased about 37% from
1994 as a result of the current deductibility of litigation charges
incurred in 1994 but paid in 1995.
Current liabilities increased about 2% over December 31, 1994
balances. The two significant increases came in accrued
compensation (up almost 34% from 1994) and customer deposits (up
about 258% from last year). Accrued compensation represents a
timing difference between compensation earned and paid. Customer
deposits represent cash collected from customers in advance of
shipments and in excess of the carrying value of related inventory.
The largest decrease in 1994 current liabilities was due to the
payment of the accrued litigation reserve of $1,247,000 in 1995.
Long Term Assets
Long term assets consist of Deferred Income Taxes and Property,
Plant and Equipment. Capital spending in 1995 and 1994 equalled
about 22% and 40% of depreciation expense for the comparable
respective years. Capital spending in 1996 is projected to equal
or slightly exceed 1996 depreciation expense.
Noncurrent Liabilities
Noncurrent liabilities as set forth in the Consolidated Balance
Sheets includes the long term portion of bank debt. Because the
markets served by Graham are cyclical, the company has established
a strategic goal to reduce the amount of interest bearing debt in
relation to shareholders' equity.
Shareholders' Equity
Shareholders' Equity increased about 19% in 1995 over 1994.
Most of this increase was due to earnings. Shareholders' Equity
decreased about 52% in 1994 from 1993 due to the disposal of Graham
Manufacturing Limited and an adverse jury verdict.
Liquidity
Net cash provided from operating activities in 1995 was
$1,644,000 as compared to a deficit in 1994 of $906,000 and a
surplus in 1993 of $2,085,000. The positive 1995 position was
16
achieved due to a strong operating profit together with maintaining
working capital levels approximating 1994. The 1994 cash operating
deficit was largely due to the disposal of Graham Manufacturing
Limited. The 1993 positive cash flow from operating activities was
due to operating profit, inventory reduction programs, and income
tax refunds.
Management believes that 1996 cash needs will be substantially
provided from normal operations.
At December 31, 1995 the U.S. operation had an unused line of
credit available to support its business of $8,727,000. The U.K.
operation had an unused line of credit available of $181,000.
New Orders
New orders in 1995 were $52,319,000 compared to $49,527,000 in
1994 and $40,156,000 in 1993. In 1995, U.S. bookings were
$48,358,000, up from $43,991,000 in 1994 and $35,571,000 in 1993.
New orders from export from the U.S. operation equalled about 54%
of the total new orders. This compares to about 46% of the orders
received in 1994 and about 40% in 1993. Orders received in the
U.K. operation in 1995 were $3,961,000. This compares to
$5,536,000 in 1994 and $4,585,000 in 1993. Bookings in 1995 were
down compared to 1994 due to the lack of major project work and
weaker activity in the U.K. offshore pump product line.
Backlog
The consolidated backlog as of December 31, 1995 was
$21,837,000, up about 15% over 1994 and about 28% over 1993. The
backlog as of December 31, 1994 was $18,997,000 and $17,070,000 on
December 31, 1993. Graham Manufacturing Co., Inc.'s backlog
equalled $21,136,000 for the current period as compared to
$18,127,000 and $16,324,000 for 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Graham Precision Pumps Limited's backlog was $701,000 as of
December 31, 1995 and $870,000 in 1994 and $746,000 in 1993.
Backlog figures exclude intercompany sales. Graham Manufacturing
is a major customer of Graham Precision Pumps.
The backlog at December 31, 1995 will be shipped in 1996 and
represents orders from traditional markets in Graham's established
product lines.
Change In Accounting Principles
The company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 107, Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments in
1995. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements No. 8 for
additional information including Graham's use of derivatives.
Effective January 1, 1994 the company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 112, Employer's Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits.
Inflation
Increases in material costs have been offset by cost cutting
measures and price increases absorbed in the marketplace. Graham
17
will continue to monitor the impact of inflation in order to
minimize its effects in future years through pricing and product
mix strategies, productivity improvements, and cost reductions.
Forward Looking
On balance 1995 was an excellent year. In the first half of
the year the company settled a major lawsuit and sold its
subsidiary located in Gloucester, England. The expenses relating
to these events were anticipated and substantially accounted for in
1994. In the second half of the year the company returned to
profitability, posting one of its finest operating profits in
several years.
The company enters 1996 with a consolidated backlog well in
excess of recent past history. No one can predict with certainty,
demand for Graham's products into the future, however, with guarded
optimism the company does see opportunities in selected market
niches in 1996. To what extent these potentially bright spots can
offset other weakening market sectors and fierce global competition
is difficult to comfortably predict.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - The Company and Its Accounting Policies:
Graham Corporation and its subsidiaries are primarily engaged
in the design and manufacture of vacuum and heat transfer equipment
used in the chemical, petrochemical, petroleum refining, and
electric power generating industries and sells to customers
throughout the world. The company's significant accounting
policies follow.
Principles of consolidation and use of estimates in the preparation
of financial statements -
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the company and its majority-owned domestic and foreign
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances, transactions
and profits are eliminated in consolidation.
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, as well as the
related revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
amounts could differ from those estimated.
Translation of foreign currencies-
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated
into U.S. dollars at currency exchange rates in effect at year end
and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates
in effect for the year. Gains and losses resulting from foreign
currency transactions are included in results of operations. Gains
and losses resulting from translation of foreign subsidiary balance
sheets are reflected as a separate component of shareholders'
equity.
Revenue recognition-
Revenues and all related costs on short-term contracts are
accounted for on the completed contract method and included in
income upon substantial completion or shipment to the customer.
Inventories-
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined on the first-in, first-out method. Progress payments
for orders are netted against inventory to the extent the payment
is less than the inventory balance relating to the applicable
contract. Progress payments that are in excess of the
corresponding inventory balance are presented as customer deposits
in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Property and depreciation-
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major
additions and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and
repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and
amortization are provided based upon the estimated useful lives
under the straight line method. Upon sale or retirement of assets,
the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results
of operations.
25
Income taxes-
The company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
recognized in the company's financial statements or tax returns.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates.
Employee benefit plans and deferred compensation-
The company has retirement plans covering substantially all
employees. Charges to income are based upon actuarially determined
costs. Pension liabilities are funded by periodic payments to the
various pension plan trusts.
The company has employment contracts with key employees which
provide for current and deferred bonuses based upon the results of
operations. The principal and interest earned on the deferred
balances are payable upon retirement.
Effective January 1, 1994, the company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 (SFAS 112), "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." SFAS 112 requires that
projected future costs of providing postemployment benefits be
recognized as an expense as employees render service rather than
when the benefits are paid. The adjustment to adopt SFAS 112 of
$9,000, net of the related tax benefit of $3,000, or $.01 per
share, is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as
the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles from
continuing and discontinued operations. The incremental costs of
adopting this statement are insignificant on an ongoing basis.
The company provides certain health care benefits for eligible
retirees and eligible survivors of retirees. The company
recognizes the cost of postretirement health care benefits on the
accrual basis as employees render service to earn the benefits.
Per share data-
Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares and, when applicable,
common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
Cash flow statement-
The company considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents.
Actual interest paid was $631,000 in 1995, $500,000 in 1994,
and $815,000 in 1993. In addition, actual income taxes paid were
$246,000 in 1995, $39,000 in 1994, and $341,000 in 1993.
In 1994, bonus amounts payable to all officers of Graham
Corporation and its U.S. subsidiary were paid in Graham common
stock valued at $12,000 and $73,000 in 1995 and 1994.
Recently issued accounting standard -
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which requires adoption
no later than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The
new standard defines a fair value method of accounting for stock
options and similar equity instruments. Under the fair value
method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on
the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service
period, which is usually the vesting period.
26
Pursuant to the new standard, companies are encouraged, but not
required, to adopt the fair value method of accounting for employee
stock-based transactions. Companies are also permitted to continue
to account for such transactions under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," but
would be required to disclose in a note to the financial statements
pro forma net income and, if presented, earnings per share as if
the company had applied the new method of accounting.
The accounting requirements of the new method are effective for
all employee awards granted after the beginning of the fiscal year
of adoption. The company has not yet determined if it will elect
to change to the fair value method, nor has it determined the
effect the new standard will have on net income and earnings per
share should it elect to make such a change. Adoption of the new
standard will have no effect on the company's cash flows.
Note 2 - Discontinued Operations:
In September 1994, the company approved a formal plan to
dispose of its subsidiary, Graham Manufacturing Limited (GML),
located in Gloucester, England, and subsequently sold the operation
on January 24, 1995. GML manufactured shell and tube heat
exchangers. In addition, GML manufactured air cooled exchangers
through a joint venture known as Graham Exchanger Services Limited
of which GML owned seventy-five percent of the issued and
outstanding shares. This joint venture was sold in November 1994.
The disposal of GML has been presented in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations as a discontinued operation and
accordingly, the results of operations for the prior years have
been restated to reflect GML's operations separately from
continuing operations.
Net sales for GML were $13,639,000 for the nine month operating
period in 1994 and $16,086,000 in 1993.
During 1995, the company incurred a loss of $182,000 for
additional expenses related to the disposal of GML. There were no
tax attributes associated with this loss. The 1994 loss from GML's
discontinued operations is presented net of related tax benefits of
$8,000. The 1994 loss from disposal, which includes operating
losses of $1,909,000 during the phase-out period, is presented net
of related tax benefits of $160,000. There were no tax attributes
associated with the 1993 loss of GML. The remaining accrued
liabilities for this disposal totalled $711,000 at December 31,
1995.
In December 1994, the company sold the property and plant of
L&A Engineering & Equipment, Inc. (L&A), which was previously
accounted for as a discontinued operation. A gain, net of related
expenses, of $51,000 was recognized from the sale of the L&A
property and plant. In addition, the remaining reserve for
estimated net liabilities of L&A totalling $38,000 was reversed to
income in 1994. The gain of $89,000, which is net of a $35,000
income tax provision, has been netted against the loss from
disposal of discontinued operations in the 1994 Consolidated
Statement of Operations.
27
Note 3 - Operations by Geographic Area:
The company has operations in the United States and the United
Kingdom.
Inter-geographic sales represent intercompany sales made based
upon a competitive pricing structure. All intercompany profits in
inventory are eliminated in the consolidated accounts and are
included in the eliminations caption below. In computing operating
profit, corporate and interest expense have been excluded.
Included in corporate expense are research and development costs of
$277,000, $298,000, and $304,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

========== ===========
In 1995, the United Kingdom subsidiary entered into a new
revolving credit facility agreement which provides a line of credit
of 250,000 pounds sterling ($387,000 at the December 31, 1995
exchange rate). Under the new facility, the interest rate is the
bank's rate plus 1 1/2%. The bank's base rate was 6 1/2% and 3
3/4% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The United
Kingdom operations had available unused lines of credit of $181,000
at December 31, 1995. The weighted average interest rate on short-
term borrowings at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was 8% and 6.25%,
respectively.

---------- -----------
$3,303,000 $ 5,161,000
========== ===========
The United States revolving credit facility agreement provides
a line of credit of up to $13,000,000, including letters of credit,
through October 31, 1996. During 1995 and 1994, the company
borrowed at a rate of prime plus 1/2%. In June 1994, the company
used proceeds of the revolving line of credit to refinance
Industrial Development Revenue Bonds.
31
The agreement allows the company at any time to convert
balances outstanding not less than $2,000,000 and up to $9,000,000
into a two-year term loan. This conversion feature is available
through October 1996, at which time the company may convert the
principal outstanding on the revolving line of credit to a two-year
term loan. The company had $2,282,000 and $4,171,000 outstanding
on its revolving credit facility at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. As the company has the intent and ability to
maintain this balance on a long-term basis, the borrowings have
been classified as long-term debt at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
The bank's prime rate was 8.5% at December 31, 1995 and 1994. The
United States subsidiary had available unused lines of credit of
$8,727,000 at year end.
The Employee Stock Ownership Plan Loan Payable requires
quarterly payments of $50,000 through 2000. (See Note 10 for a
description of the Plan.)
In 1995, the United Kingdom subsidiary entered into a term loan
at a fixed rate of 9%. This term loan is due in 2000 and is
repayable in equal monthly installments commencing in 1996.
Long-term debt requirements over the next five years, excluding
capital leases, are: 1996 - $319,000, 1997 - $867,000, 1998 -
$1,913,000, 1999 - $297,000 and 2000 - $148,000.
The company is required to pay commitment fees of 1/2% on the
unused portion of the domestic revolving credit facility. No other
financing arrangements require compensating balances or commitment
fees. Assets with a book value of $22,741,000 have been pledged to
secure certain domestic long-term borrowings.
The United Kingdom short-term and long-term borrowings are
secured by assets of the United Kingdom subsidiary which have a
book value of $589,000.
Several of the loan agreements contain provisions pertaining to
the maintenance of minimum working capital balances, tangible net
worth, capital expenditures and financial ratios as well as
restrictions on the payment of cash dividends to the parent company
and shareholders and incurrence of additional long-term debt. The
most restrictive dividend provision limits the payment of dividends
to shareholders to the greater of $400,000 or 25% of consolidated
net income. In addition, the United States subsidiary cannot make
any loans or advances exceeding $150,000 to any affiliates without
prior consent of the bank. The United States subsidiary may pay
dividends to the parent company as long as the subsidiary remains
in compliance with all financial covenants after payment of the
dividends. Under the agreement, restricted net assets of the
subsidiary may not be reduced below $5,000,000 at December 31,
1995. Effective December 31, 1995, the United Kingdom subsidiary
obtained a waiver through the end of 1996 from its bank of certain
financial loan covenants.

Note 8 - Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial
Instruments:
Concentrations of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash
investments and trade receivables. The company places its
temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial
institutions and actively evaluates the credit worthiness of these
financial institutions. Concentrations of credit risk with respect
to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of
customers comprising the company's customer base and their
geographic dispersion. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the company
had no significant concentrations of credit risk.
Letters of Credit:
The company has entered into standby letter of credit
agreements with financial institutions relating to the guarantee of
future performance on certain contracts. At December 31, 1995 and
1994, the company was contingently liable on outstanding standby
letters of credit aggregating $2,127,000 and $2,256,000,
respectively.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management:
The company, as a result of its global operating and financial
activities, is exposed to market risks from changes in foreign
exchange rates. In seeking to minimize the risks and/or costs
associated with such activities, the company utilizes foreign
exchange forward contracts with fixed dates of maturity and
exchange rates. The company does not hold or issue financial
instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and only
contracts with high quality financial institutions. If the
counterparties to the exchange contracts do not fulfill their
obligations to deliver the contracted foreign currencies, the
company could be at risk for fluctuations, if any, required to
settle the obligation.
The table below summarizes the notional amounts of the foreign
exchange forward contracts held by the company. The "buy" amounts
represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to purchase
foreign currencies and the "sell" amounts represent the U.S. dollar
equivalent of commitments to sell foreign currencies.

British pounds sterling $158,000
-------- --------
$391,000 $158,000
======== ========
Fair Value $398,000 $165,000
33
The company entered into these foreign exchange forward
contracts to hedge a sales or purchase commitment denominated in
the currency of the sales contract or purchase order. The term of
the derivatives is less than one year.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the company had deferred
unrealized gains and (losses) of $(7,000) and $7,000, respectively,
which are recognized in income as part of the hedged transaction.
These amounts represent the gain or loss that would have been
recognized had these contracts been liquidated at market value in
their respective years. The fair values of the foreign exchange
forward contracts are estimated based on dealer quotes.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The differences between the carrying amounts and estimated fair
values of the company's short- and long-term debt are
insignificant.
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of
such debt are summarized as follows:
Short-term debt due banks - The carrying value of short-term
debt approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of
this instrument.
Long-term debt - The carrying value of long-term debt excludes
$114,000 and $150,000 of obligations under capital leases at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The carrying values
of credit facilities with variable rates of interest
approximates fair values. The fair value of fixed rate debt
was estimated by discounting cash flows using rates currently
available for debt of similar terms and remaining maturities.

Deferred income taxes include the impact of state and foreign net
operating loss carryforwards and investment tax credits which expire from
1996 to 2008. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 109, a valuation
allowance of $612,000 at December 31, 1995 is deemed adequate to reserve for
these and other items which are not considered probable of realization.
The company does not provide for additional U.S. income taxes on
undistributed earnings considered permanently invested in its United Kingdom
subsidiary. At December 31, 1995, such undistributed earnings totaled
$950,000. It is not practicable to determine the amount of income taxes that
would be payable upon the remittance of assets that represent those earnings.

Note 10 - Employee Benefit Plans:
Retirement Plans
The company has defined benefit plans covering substantially all
employees. The company's plan covering employees in the United States is
non-contributory. Benefits are based on the employee's years of service and
average earnings for the five highest consecutive calendar years of
compensation for the ten year period preceding retirement. The plan for
employees in the United Kingdom is contributory with the employer's share
being actuarially determined. Benefits are based on the employee's years of
service and average earnings for the three highest years for the ten year
period preceding retirement. The company's funding policy for the United
States plan is to contribute the amount required by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974. The pension obligations to employees covered by
the company's former domestic plan, terminated in 1986, were settled through
the purchase of annuity contracts for each participant which guaranteed these
future benefit payments.

The current portion of the pension liability is included in the caption
"Accrued Compensation" and the long-term portion is separately presented in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Assets of the United States plan consist primarily of equity securities
including 70,425 shares of the company's common stock at December 31, 1995 and
1994. Assets of the United Kingdom plan consist of an investment contract with
an insurance company which is primarily invested in equity securities. The
vested benefit obligation of the United Kingdom plan is the actuarial present
value of the vested benefits to which the employee is currently entitled but
based on the employee's expected date of separation or retirement. The
unrecognized net asset at transition is being amortized over the remaining
service lives of the participants which approximates 19 years for the domestic
plan and 13 years for the United Kingdom plan.
The company has a defined contribution plan covering substantially all
domestic employees. Company contributions to this plan are based on the
profitability of the company and amounted to $320,000, $0 and $326,000 in 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. The company also maintains a supplemental defined
contribution plan which covers selected employees in the United Kingdom. The
expense associated with this plan was $4,000, $13,000 and $23,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
In 1990, the company established a noncontributory Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP) that covers substantially all employees in the United
States. The company borrowed $2,000,000 under loan and pledge agreements.
The proceeds of the loans were used to purchase 87,454 shares of the
company's common stock. The purchased shares are pledged as security for the
payment of principal and interest as provided in the loan and pledge
agreements. It is anticipated that funds for servicing the debt payments
will essentially be provided from contributions paid by the company to the
37
ESOP, from earnings attributable to such contributions, and from cash
dividends paid to the ESOP on shares of the company stock which it owns.
During 1995, 1994, and 1993 the company recognized expense associated with
the ESOP using the shares allocated method. This method recognizes interest
expense as incurred on all outstanding debt of the ESOP and compensation
expense related to principal reductions based on shares allocated for the
period. Dividends received on unallocated shares that are used to service
the ESOP debt reduce the amount of expense recognized each period. The
compensation expense associated with the ESOP was $200,000 for each of the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. The ESOP received no dividends on
unallocated shares in 1995, 1994 and 1993. Interest expense in the amount of
$97,000, $96,000, and $96,000 was incurred in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Dividends paid on allocated shares accumulate for the benefit of the employees.
Other Postretirement Benefits
In addition to providing pension benefits, the company has a United
States plan which provides health care benefits for eligible retirees and
eligible survivors of retirees. Effective January 1, 1994, early retirees
who are eligible to receive benefits under the plan are required to share in
twenty percent of the medical premium cost. In addition, the company's share
of the premium costs has been capped.
The components of postretirement benefit cost are:
1995 1994 1993

The medical care cost trend rate used in the actuarial computation
ultimately reduces to 6% in 2002 and subsequent years. This was accomplished
using 1/2% decrements for the years 1996 through 2002.

The effect of a one percentage point increase in each future year's
assumed medical care cost trend rate, holding all other assumptions constant,
would not have a material effect on the net postretirement benefit cost or
the accrued postretirement benefit obligation.
The current portion of the postretirement benefit obligation is
included in the caption "Accrued Compensation" and the long-term portion is
separately presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Note 11 - Stock Options:
The 1989 Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan provides for
issuance of up to 125,800 shares of common stock in connection with
grants of non-qualified stock options and tandem stock appreciation
rights to officers, key employees and certain outside directors.
The options may be granted at prices not less than the fair market
value at the date of grant, and expire no later than ten years
after the date of grant.
The 1981 Common Stock Incentive Plan for officers and other key
employees provided for issuance of up to 80,000 shares of common
stock in connection with grants of incentive stock options and
tandem stock appreciation rights. Options can no longer be granted
under this plan and at December 31, 1995, all outstanding options
had been exercised.

There were 79,940 options exercisable at December 31, 1995.
The remaining options are exercisable at a rate of 20 percent per
year from the date of grant. The outstanding options expire
December 1999 to October 2005. The number of options available for
future grants were 12,800 at December 31, 1995 and 24,200 at
December 31, 1994.
In 1995, the Board of Directors adopted the 1995 Graham
Corporation Incentive Plan to Increase Shareholder Value and
approved the granting of non-qualified stock options to purchase
11,500 shares of the company's common stock at an exercise price of
$12.00 to officers and other key employees. If approved by the
shareholders, these options will be immediately exercisable and
will expire no later than October 2005. This plan provides for the
issuance of up to 128,000 shares of common stock in connection with
grants of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options
to officers, key employees and outside directors. The options may
be granted at prices not less than the fair market value at the
date of grant and expire no later than ten years after the date of
grant.
Note 12 - Shareholder Rights Plan:
On February 23, 1990 the company adopted a Shareholder Rights
Plan. Under the Plan, as of March 7, 1990, one share Purchase
Right ("Right") is attached to each outstanding share of Common
Stock. When and if the Rights become exercisable, each Right would
entitle the holder of a share of Common Stock to purchase from the
company an additional share of Common Stock for $70.00 per share,
subject to adjustment. The Rights become exercisable upon certain
events: (i) if a person or group of persons acquires 20% or more of
the company's outstanding Common Stock; or (ii) if a person or
group commences a tender offer for 30% or more of the company's
outstanding Common Stock.
40
The company may redeem the Rights for $.01 per Right at any
time prior to the close of business on the date when the Rights
become exercisable.
After the Rights become exercisable, if the company is acquired
in a business combination transaction, or if at least half of the
company's assets or earning power are sold, then each Right would
entitle its holder to purchase stock of the acquirer (or Graham, if
it were the surviving company) at a discount of 50%. The number of
shares that each Right would entitle its holder to acquire at
discount would be the number of shares having a market value equal
to twice the exercise price of the Right.
Note 13 - Litigation Settlement:
A lawsuit was filed in November 1992 against the company's U.S.
subsidiary, Graham Manufacturing Co., Inc. Following an adverse
jury verdict, the company charged $1,502,000 to pre-tax income in
1994 for the judgment amount and related defense costs. Following
trial in 1995, the company reached a settlement with the plaintiff
and an additional $276,000 was expensed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Graham Corporation
Batavia, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Graham Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Corporation'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, such consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Graham
Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
