PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
(a) General Development of Business.
(1) The Registrant, originally incorporated in 1919, is principally
engaged in the manufacture and sale of various industrial
component parts. During the fiscal year for which this Annual
Report is being filed, there were no material developments with
respect to the Registrant's business, except for those
described in Registrant's 1996 Annual Report on pages 9-12,
attached hereto as Exhibit 13. This information is incorporated
herein by reference.
(2) Inapplicable.
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments.
(1) (2) Industry segments.
The Registrant is engaged in a single business segment
as described on pages 5-6 and 25 of the 1996 Annual
Report of the Registrant, attached hereto as Exhibit 13.
Amounts of revenue, operating profits and identifiable
assets attributable to the single business segment are
included on pages 13 and 14 of the 1996 Annual Report of
the Registrant, attached hereto as Exhibit 13. This
information is incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Narrative Description of Business.
The description of the business set forth on pages 5-6, 9-12 and 25 of
the Registrant's 1996 Annual Report, attached hereto as Exhibit 13, is
incorporated herein by reference. The following information
supplements that description:
(1) (i) See Narrative Description cross-reference above.
4
(ii) See Narrative Description cross-reference above.
(iii) See Narrative Description cross-reference above.
(iv) While Registrant holds a number of patents,
Registrant believes that the successful
continuation of its business is not dependent on
any single patent or group of patents, trademarks,
or licenses. (Registrant retains the rights to
certain royalties related to an exclusive license
agreement with semiconductor manufacturer Silicon
Systems incorporated (SSi), whereunder SSi will
produce and market certain phonetic speech
synthesizer chips under the SSi product name.
Registrant does not consider the royalty agreement
to be material to Registrant's business.)
(v) No material portion of the business of the
Registrant is seasonal in nature.
(vi) There are no practices and conditions of the Registrant
or known to the Registrant relating to working capital
items which are material to an understanding of the
Registrant's business in the industry in which it
competes.
(vii) See Narrative Description cross-reference above.
(viii) As of August 31, 1996, the Registrant had an estimated
backlog of firm orders amounting to approximately
$15,500,000, all of which are expected to be filled
within the 1997 fiscal year. The comparable backlog as
of August 31, 1995 amounted to approximately
$15,000,000.
(ix) No material portion of the business of Registrant is
subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of
contracts or subcontracts at the election of the
Government.
(x) The manufacture and sale of Registrant's products
is an extremely competitive business. Because
industry statistics are not available, Registrant
5
is unable to accurately determine the number of its
competitors nor to state its competitive position in its
principal market as a supplier of parts to automotive
customers. However, Registrant believes that it is
generally considered a leading producer of its principal
type of product in an estimated $650 million annual
market served by approximately thirty major domestic
suppliers, no one of which, or no small number of which
are dominant. Registrant is aware, however, that there
are companies making similar products, with greater
sales and resources than Registrant. Registrant is aware
that in recent years the activity of foreign competitors
manufacturing similar products has increased. The
quality of the product, the product's price and service
to customers are the principal methods of competition.
(xi) Research and development activity expenses during each
of the last three fiscal years is not deemed material.
(xii) Registrant has experienced no material effects in
complying with government environmental
regulations.
(xiii) See Narrative Description cross-reference above.
(d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations
and Export Sales.
Financial information about foreign and domestic operations and export
sales are set forth on pages 5, 6, 13, 14 and 25 of the Registrant's
1996 Annual Report, attached hereto as Exhibit 13. This information is
incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
The description of property set forth on pages 5-6 of the Registrant's 1996
Annual Report, attached hereto as Exhibit 13, is incorporated herein by
reference.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Registrant is one of approximately twenty designated potentially responsible
parties (PRPs) in a federal "Superfund" environmental clean-up proceeding
involving a dump site in Rose Township, Oakland County, Michigan. Although
Registrant denies responsibility for contamination of the site, it has
nevertheless agreed to participate in funding clean-up of the site by paying a
share of the clean-up costs which Registrant does not consider to be material.
This share has been assumed primarily because of the large transactional costs
expected to be incurred in defending the lawsuit against the PRPs which would
have been filed by the Environmental Protection Agency if the matter had not
been settled voluntarily.
Registrant and eleven other PRPs have signed a Consent Decree and adopted a
Remedial Action Plan which has been filed in, and approved by, the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The Complaint instituting
the court proceeding was filed September 19, 1989. The principal parties are
the United States of America, the State of Michigan, and the PRPs. On appeal,
the Consent Decree has been affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for
the Sixth Circuit. The allocation of the responsibility to fund the Remedial
Action Plan among the participating PRPs is set out in a written Agreement to
which Registrant is also a party. Settlements with two of the Registrant's
insurers resulted in coverage for in excess of one half of the Registrant's
share.
The settling defendants have submitted to the United States Environmental
Protection Agency comments regarding a soil vapor extraction system report
which the PRPs submitted after a pilot study at the Site. The EPA has accepted
the substitution of soil vapor extraction for soil flushing as the remedial
action approach, and the approach is now being implemented. No
7
significant effect on the site clean-up is anticipated and the Registrant does
not expect to pay any costs beyond its original contribution.
The Registrant and other Rose Township PRPs have been notified by the EPA of
potential liability at another site located in Springfield Township, Oakland
County, Michigan. The PRPs have actively been engaged in negotiations with the
EPA and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in an effort to agree
upon mutually acceptable remediation parameters. The PRPs have negotiated
Administrative Orders on Consent Regarding Selected Response Activities and
for Cost Recovery Settlement, the cost of which is not expected to have a
material effect upon the Company's financial statements. The PRPs have not
negotiated an overall remedy at the Site. But, interim remediation is
occurring as the Order Regarding Selected Response Activities covers the
groundwater component of the remedy. The Registrant has settled with the
Michigan Department of Natural Resources the Department's past cost claims at
both the Rose and at the Springfield Township Sites. The Registrant's share of
the settlements was an immaterial amount. It is anticipated that the
Registrant's share of any future expense at the Site will be immaterial. The
Registrant liquidated its coverage claims against its insurers.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors
Federal Screw Works
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Federal Screw Works as of
June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 1996. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule
listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedule 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 Federal Screw
Works at June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also,in our opinion,
the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.
