Transitional Small Business Disclosure Format: Yes No X -2- PART I ITEM 1. Business. General. Goddard Industries, Inc. (which together with its wholly owned subsidiaries is hereinafter referred to as the "Company") is engaged primarily in the design, manufacture, sale, and distribution of valves for industrial and commercial use. The Company is a Massachusetts corporation organized in 1959. Its executive offices are located at 705 Plantation Street, Worcester, Massachusetts 01605. Products are designed, manufactured, and sold by the Company's growing global network which currently includes Goddard Valve Corporation of Worcester, Massachusetts; Mack Valves Pty Ltd of Melbourne, Australia, with branch offices throughout Australia as well as in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and Goddard Industries Europe, located in Oxford, England. Products are also marketed through sales representatives and distributors where the Company does not have direct coverage. Goddard Valve Corporation (Goddard Valve) designs, manufactures and sells cryogenic gate, globe and check valves and control devices required for the handling of liquefied oxygen, nitrogen, liquefied natural gas, and other liquefied gases. Additionally, Goddard Valve has developed a manifold system to allow addition of controls to a cryogenic tank as a single unit. The principal markets for Goddard Valve's cryogenic products historically have been industrial gas producers and manufacturers of cryogenic tanks and transport trailers. In more recent years, markets for special cryogenic valves have developed for use on tanks required by the semi-conductor manufacturing and medical technology industries. Goddard Valve distributes its cryogenic valves directly in the United States, through Mack Valves in Australia and Southeast Asia, and through independent sales representatives in the other places in the world where the Company does business. Mack Valves Pty Ltd (Mack Valves) is located in Melbourne, Australia, and has sales offices in Queensland, New South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and sales representatives throughout Asia. Mack Valves produces a range of cryogenic valves, a range of safety and relief valves and a range of water, steam, fire service, and industrial valves. The Mack Valves Automatic Control Valve and supporting valve products are used extensively in clean water, fire prevention, mining and other industrial applications. The cryogenic valve line produced at Mack Valves, which consists of bronze ball, globe, safety, relief, and diverter valves, is largely complementary to that of Goddard Valve. The Company believes that Mack Valves has a leading share of the Australian market for its full range of products and a significant position in Southeast Asia. Mack Valves was acquired by the Company on November 1, 2000. See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on the acquisition of Mack Valves. The Company formed Goddard Industries Europe (Goddard Europe), a branch of Goddard Industries, Inc., located in Oxford, England, in May, 2001. The Company established Goddard Europe to service existing cryogenic European customers, to identify and help acquire strategically compatible companies and to establish a base of operations into the European market for all of the Company's products. -3- Since valves are components of pressure containment systems, they require certification and approval of various national or regional standard-setting authorities. Thus, the Company's valves may need to be designed for service under the specifications of various jurisdictions. All of the valves manufactured by Goddard Valve meet ASME (USA) standards and are CSA (Canada) approved. In addition, Goddard Valve's bronze globe valves have obtained certification to use the CE-Mark (Europe) designation, and the Company is also currently seeking certification to use the CE-Mark designation for several of its products including its stainless steel valves and bronze gate and swing check valves. Mack Valves' products meet Australian standards and are in the process of being submitted for ASME approval, CSA approval, and CE-Mark certification. Three years ago, the Company's Board of Directors approved a strategic growth plan that focuses the Company's resources on its strengths in valve technology and manufacturing, particularly in cryogenic valves. That plan calls for investment in product lines and businesses which would expand the Company's position in cryogenic and industrial valve markets throughout the world, and disposition of all non-manufacturing assets. This plan has resulted in the disposition of the Company's plumbing supplies division (Webstone, Inc.) in 1999, the acquisition of Mack Valves in November of 2000, and the creation of Goddard Industries Europe in May of 2001. In December of 2001, the Company formed Goddard Cryogenics, a division of Goddard Industries, Inc., to focus management's attention on the development of cryogenic valve resources worldwide. Sources of Supply. Raw materials for Goddard Valve and Mack Valves consist of stainless steel, aluminum, bronze and cast iron castings and bar stock, which are available from a variety of regular and competitive suppliers. The Company does not anticipate difficulty in obtaining sufficient raw materials for that business. Dependence upon Principal Customers. During fiscal 2001, the Company had two customers with significant sales as a percentage of the Company's total sales. Since these two customers are Goddard Valve customers, their percentage of consolidated sales decreased for fiscal year 2001 versus fiscal year 2000 as a result of the addition of Mack Valves sales (which did not figure in the Company's fiscal year 2000 sales figures). In fiscal year 2000, these customers accounted for 20% and 24% of the Company's total sales, respectively. In fiscal year 2001, however, these customers accounted for: (1) 9% and 6%, respectively, of the Company's total sales; and (2) 18% and 12%, respectively, of Goddard Valve's sales. The addition of Mack Valves' sales has reduced the Company's dependence on individual customers, as does the fact that the Company now has long term contracts as a preferred supplier with three major industrial gas companies, whereas in the past, only one such contract was in place. However, any loss or significant decrease in business from its principal customers could have an adverse effect on the business of the Company. -4- Backlog. The dollar amount of the Company's backlog of orders believed to be firm at September 29, 2001 was $648,000, up 96.8% over the prior year. All of the increase was due to the addition of backlog of orders from Mack Valves, with Goddard Valve's backlog remaining essentially the same. No part of the backlog is seasonal. Backlog varies according to business conditions within the industry, and all backlog is expected to be shipped within the current fiscal year. Competition. All aspects of the Company's business are highly competitive. The Company believes there are between six and eight principal competitors in the global cryogenic valve business. Goddard Valve competes on the basis of product performance, dependability, and price. In the last few years, foreign competitors have been more aggressive in pursuing business in the United States. The Company believes that Goddard Valve's competitive position within that industry is strong, although there can be no assurance that that situation will continue. There are many competitors for water and industrial valves, throughout the world. Research and Development. During fiscal year 2001, the Company spent approximately $ 349,000 or 4.7% of sales, of which Goddard Valve spent $298,000, or 7.7% of its sales, and had eight of its employees working full or part time on all engineering projects, including Company-sponsored research and development of cryogenic valves. These R & D expenditures were made on new products and refreshment of existing products. Management believes that continued expenditure on R & D is vital to the Company's future and has elected to continue R & D projects despite recent years' decline in revenues. During fiscal year 2000, the Company spent $296,000, or 7.8% of its sales, for research and development. The Company has obtained a number of patents and has additional patent applications pending with respect to certain of the products of Goddard Valve. There can be no assurance that any of the pending patent applications will be granted or that existing patents will be enforceable. While the Company believes the patents have value, it believes that the success of Goddard Valve depends more upon the technical competence and manufacturing skills of its employees than upon patents. Employees. As of December 19, 2001, the Company had a total of 104 employees, all of whom were full time or permanent part time employees of the Company. -5- ITEM 2. Properties. The Company's executive offices and the business of Goddard Valve are located at 705 Plantation Street, Worcester, Massachusetts in a one-story building owned by Goddard Valve on a main thoroughfare. The building has approximately 37,000 square feet comprised of a 27,000 square foot masonry structure erected in 1961 and a 10,000 square foot steel structure added in 1997. During FY2001, the Company leased approximately 15,000 square feet of this building to Webstone Company, Inc., pursuant to a lease with terms that were negotiated on an arms- length basis. The parties terminated this lease on November 5, 2001 and the Company is currently seeking another tenant for this space. The Company leases approximately 53,000 square feet of space in Melbourne, Australia, to house the headquarters and manufacturing facilities of Mack Valves. The facilities are leased from Mack Valves' present Managing Director, the former owner of Mack Valves from whom the business was acquired. The term of the lease is through October 30, 2005, with an option to renew for an additional five years. In addition, Mack Valves has various leases for its sales offices. The Company also leases a small office in Oxford, England, the site of Goddard Europe, as a tenant-at-will. The Company believes that its facilities are adequate to meet its needs for the foreseeable future. The Company also believes that its existing facilities and equipment are well maintained and in good operating condition. ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings. In 1995 the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP") designated the Company's facility at 705 Plantation Street, Worcester, Massachusetts, as a Tier 1C Site under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan as a result of a prior release of hazardous materials on the site. The Company was required to conduct response actions required under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan. These actions culminated in the filing of a Class C Response Action Outcome Statement with the DEP in September 1998. Based upon the information presently available, no further corrective response actions are required; however, the Company must continue to monitor the site and file reports of the monitoring results with the DEP. ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. At a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on October 31, 2001, the stockholders of the Company approved resolutions to amend the Company's Restated Articles of Organization to: (1) increase the number of shares of the Company's authorized common stock from 3,000,000 to 12,000,000 (the "Common Stock Resolution"); and (2) authorize 3,000,000 shares of a new class of preferred stock as yet undesignated as to series (the "Preferred Stock Resolution"). With regard to the Common Stock Resolution, holders of 1,846,223 shares of the Company's common stock voted for the resolution while holders of 49,908 shares of common stock voted against the resolution and holders of 9,015 shares of common stock abstained from the vote. Concerning the Preferred Stock Resolution, holders of 1,492,095 shares of the Company's common stock voted for the resolution while holders of 86,485 shares of common stock voted against the resolution and holders of 11,065 shares of common stock abstained from the vote. -6- PART II ITEM 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. The Company's Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market on the OTC Bulletin Board. As of December 19, 2001, there were approximately 546 holders of the Company's Common Stock. The quarterly high and low bid prices of the Company's Common Stock for the two fiscal years ending September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000 are set forth below. Prices are based upon quotations from the OTC Bulletin Board. FISCAL 2001 BID PRICES High Low Quarter Ending 12/30/00 $1.5625 $.875 3/31/01 $1.3125 $.75 6/30/01 $1.02 $.52 9/29/01 $1.05 $.75 FISCAL 2000 BID PRICES High Low Quarter Ending 1/1/00 $1.875 $1.375 4/1/00 $2.375 $1.438 7/1/00 $2.50 $1.438 9/30/00 $1.938 $1.125 The preceding bid prices reflect interdealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not represent actual transactions. The Company has paid stock dividends from time to time in the past and paid a single cash dividend of $.03/share in February, 1998. ITEM 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. Results of Operations - 2001 Compared to 2000 Net sales for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2001 were $7,429,000 with a net loss of $469,000, or $0.22 per share, compared with net sales of $3,813,000 and net income of $161,000, or $.07 per share, for the prior year. The nearly doubling of sales was primarily the result of additional sales from Mack Valves, which was acquired on November 1, 2000. Goddard Valve sales increased by 1.3% over last year. Only eleven months of Mack Valves sales are included in the results of FY2001. -7- The operating loss in FY2001 was $490,000 versus operating income of $114,000 in FY2000, for a $604,000 difference. Fully $620,000 of the difference can be attributed to Goddard Valve, where tightening of product margins and increased reserves against slow moving inventories reduced gross margins substantially. The operating income of $212,000 at Mack Valves was offset by increases in expenses of $196,000 associated with the building of our global infrastructure at the corporate level and the opening of the Goddard Industries Europe office. The Mack Valves performance includes charges of $71,000 for goodwill amortization associated with its acquisition. More than 25% of the $620,000 operating income difference at Goddard Valve is attributable to an increase of $168,000 in reserves for slow moving inventory. The remainder of the difference was principally the result of lower margins as costs at Goddard Valve rose under the impact of lower volume levels in the first three quarters, and as material and labor costs increased throughout the year. In addition, aggressive prices of recently won contracts have not yet been matched by planned lower costs, resulting in lower margins. These margins are expected to improve as our comprehensive plan to lower Goddard Valve's cost of goods takes effect. This plan involves sourcing components from lower cost sources, without compromising quality or delivery performance. These lower costs are expected to begin to have an impact during the latter half of FY2002. In addition to these measures, further steps were taken at the beginning of October 2001 to reduce expenses at Goddard Valve and at our principal corporate office in Worcester, MA. These included the reduction of five personnel (about 15% of the workforce at Goddard Valve), a reduction of 10% of all senior Goddard Valve and corporate management salaries, a freeze on wages of all non-management personnel, and other selected expense reductions. The combination of the product cost and expense reductions is intended to restore Goddard Valve to its former levels of profitability. Other Expense for FY2001 was $254,000, compared with Other Income of $144,000 during FY2000. The resulting year to year change of $398,000 was principally the result of $266,000 of higher interest expense associated with loans incurred for the acquisition of Mack Valves, $33,000 greater loss on foreign exchange, and $97,000 of income received last year under a management agreement with another company which was no longer in effect this year. Orders received during FY2001 were 85% higher than last year, the net result of adding eleven months of orders received at Mack Valves, offset by a slight decline of 2.9% at Goddard Valve. Orders received by Goddard Valve increased quarter-to-quarter in each of the first three quarters of FY2001, and although the fourth quarter declined from the third quarter, it was 10.8% above the same period of FY2000. The events of September 11, 2001 had a negative impact on the level of incoming orders at Goddard Valve, as the industrial gas industry followed other sectors of the economy in a slowdown in the fourth quarter of FY2001. Management believes that orders remained above last year's level in the fourth quarter despite the slowdown because of three long-term preferred supplier contracts with major industrial gas customers, that enabled the Company to improve its overall market share. -8- Results of Operations - 2000 Compared to 1999 Net sales from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000 were $3,813,000 with net income from continuing operations of $161,000 or $.07 per share. Net sales from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended October 2, 1999 were $4,976,000, with net income from continuing operations of $463,000 or $.21 per share. There were no discontinued operations or extraordinary items in fiscal year 2000; however, for the fiscal year ended October 2, 1999, net income from discontinued operations was $30,000 or $.01 per share and the sale of Webstone Company, Inc. ("Webstone") resulted in a book loss of $419,000, or $.19 per share. As a result, the consolidated net income for the fiscal year 2000 was $161,000 or $.07 per share compared with $74,000 or $.03 per share for the prior year. Results for the year ended September 30, 2000 include a net loss of $26,000 ($44,400 pretax), or $.02 per share from a foreign currency contract entered into by the Company in September 2000 in connection with its anticipated November 1, 2000 purchase of the assets of Mack Valves Pty Ltd as described in Note 14 of the consolidated statements. Orders received during fiscal year 2000 amounted to $3,996,000, down 8% from orders received in fiscal year 1999. Management believes that this decline is in step with continued declines in demand for valves and equipment within the industrial gas industry. Gross profit margins from continuing operations for fiscal 2000 declined slightly to 39% from 41% in fiscal 1999 as a result of lower volumes. Selling and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenue to 36% during fiscal 2000, compared to 26% during fiscal 1999. The increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was due in part to the lower volume of sales and in part to higher costs of Research and Development, which increased to $296,000 or 8% of sales in fiscal 2000 from $255,000 or 5% of sales in fiscal 1999. These R & D expenditures were made on new products and refreshment of its existing products. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The acquisition of Mack Valves was financed through secured credit facilities amounting to approximately $3,668,100 furnished by Fleet National Bank and National Australia Bank Limited. At September 29, 2001, long term debt equaled $3,374,000, of which $1,717,000 held by Fleet National has been classified as current as a result of the Company not being in compliance with covenants associated with that debt. Cash and cash equivalents totalled $816,000 and working capital was $1,880,000, The bank is aware of the non-compliance and has taken no action at this time. The Company incurred additional debt, and therefore increased interest costs, as a result of its acquisition of Mack Valves. These costs could have an effect on the Company's liquidity and capital resources. Management believes that as long as the Fleet facilities remain available, cash and cash equivalents from operations will be sufficient to handle the normal working capital and debt service requirements of the current business on both a -9- short-term and a long-term basis. Inasmuch as the Company's strategic plans include expansion through acquisition, Management expects that it will be required to obtain additional funds through debt or equity financing. The Company's failure to raise sufficient additional funds could materially inhibit its plans for expansion through acquisitions. In addition, if the Fleet facilities cease to be available, this will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial resources. There is no guarantee that the Company would succeed either in replacing the Fleet facilities or obtaining additional financing for expansion under terms acceptable to the Company. Furthermore, in December 2001, the Company initiated an offering of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock on a private placement basis in order to raise additional equity capital to fund its acquisition strategy and working capital needs. The securities offered in the private placement have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. If completed, the private placement could be dilutive to existing stockholders of the Company on a book value basis. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in completing the private placement.

AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 29, 2001 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 -16- Independent Auditors' Report The Shareholders and Board of Directors Goddard Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries Worcester, Massachusetts We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Goddard Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 29, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Mack Valves Pty Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary, whose financial statements reflect approximately 42 percent of the consolidated assets at September 29, 2001 and approximately 48 percent of consolidated revenues for the year then ended. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and in our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Mack Valves Pty Ltd., is based solely on the report of other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based upon our audits and the report of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Goddard Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000 and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 29, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 29, 2001, SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND OCTOBER 2, 1999 NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Goddard Industries, Inc. (Industries), its wholly-owned subsidiaries Goddard Valve Corporation (Goddard Valve), Goddard Management Company, Inc. (Management), incorporated on July 29, 1999, and Mack Valves Pty Ltd (Mack Valves), acquired on November 1, 2000, and Goddard Valve's wholly-owned subsidiary, Webstone Company, Inc. (Webstone), which was sold on July 2, 1999, (collectively, Company). On July 1, 1999, the Board of Directors of Goddard Valve Corporation approved the sale of Webstone Company, Inc. (Webstone), its wholly-owned subsidiary, to Michael E. Reck, President of Webstone since 1996. The sale was consummated on July 2, 1999. The selling price of $1,789,324 was received in the form of $1,389,324 of cash, $250,000 of preferred stock in the Webstone Company, Inc., and a non-interest bearing loan of $150,000 due within 90 days of closing. Webstone's results are reported as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 2, 1999. See note 17 for the presentation of Webstone's discontinued operations. On November 1, 2000, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Mack Valves Pty Ltd. (Mack Valves) of Melbourne, Australia for a purchase price of $3,615,000. The transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The acquisition was financed through secured credit facilities furnished by Fleet National Bank and National Australia Bank Limited, totaling approximately $3,668,000. The Company acquired net assets valued at $1,360,000. The excess of purchase price plus transaction costs over the fair value of the assets acquired (Goodwill) was approximately $2,309,000 is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years. In addition, contingent consideration of approximately A$800,000 ($396,000) in cash and A$422,500 ($209,000) in non- qualified stock options, will be required if Mack Valves achieves various sales levels during the forthcoming five years. Such payments, if any, will be added to Goodwill. The results of Mack Valves operations are reported for the period beginning with the date of its acquisition on November 1, 2000. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. -24- Selected unaudited pro forma combined results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2000, assuming the acquisition of Mack Valves occurred on October 3, 1999, are presented as follows: (in thousands except EPS) Sales $8,220 Income before taxes 214 Net income 142 Earnings per share $.07 Pro forma results for the current year are not presented since the acquisition occurred near the beginning of the year (November 1, 2000). NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Fiscal Year: The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to September 30. The years ended September 29, 2001, September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999 each contain 52 weeks. Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with financial institutions. At times, such deposits are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits. Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: YEARS Building and improvements 10 - 35 Machinery, equipment and tools 3 - 10 Office equipment and fixtures 5 - 10 Advertising: Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. -25- Income Taxes: Taxes are provided for items entering into the determination of net income for financial reporting purposes, irrespective of when such items are reported for income tax purposes. Accordingly, deferred income taxes have been provided for all temporary differences. Tax credits are accounted for on the flow-through method, whereby credits earned during the year are used to reduce the current income tax provision. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions to be undertaken in the future, they may differ from actual results. Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue when goods are shipped from its facilities and title passes. Foreign Currency Translation: The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries and branches are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates for the year. Adjustments resulting from these translations are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income. Amortization of Deferred Finance Fees: Deferred finance fees are being amortized on the straight-line method over the five to ten year lives of the related debt. Amortization of Goodwill: Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets purchased, together with transaction costs associated with the acquisition, is being amortized on a straight line basis over thirty years. Derivatives: Effective October 1, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires the Company to record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company generally does not have any derivative instruments and generally does not engage in any hedging activities. Consequently, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have a material impact on the Company. -26- Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141 "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired outside of a business combination and the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to acquisition. SFAS No. 142 provides that intangible assets with finite lives be amortized, and that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives be tested at least annually for impairment, rather than being amortized. Upon adoption of SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 the Company will stop amortization of goodwill that resulted from business combinations completed prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 141. The Company currently has goodwill and other intangible assets on its balance sheet. The Company is required to adopt SFAS Nos. 141, and 142, on September 30, 2001. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting the above standards. In October 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This pronouncement supersedes SFAS No. 121. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No.144 on October 1, 2002. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting the above standard. In October 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board also issued SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". The Company does not hold any assets affected by this statement and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements Asset Impairment: In accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", long-lived assets to be held and used by the Company are reviewed to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. For long-lived-assets to be held and used, the Company bases its evaluation on such impairment indicators as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefits of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements, as well as other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If such impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, the Company determines whether an impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash flow analysis of assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. If impairment has occurred, the Company recognizes a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated value of the asset. The fair value of the asset is measured using an estimate of discounted cash flow analysis. Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the 2000 and 1999 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2001 presentation with no effect on previously reported net income or retained earnings. -27- NOTE 3.

Future minimum payments under the above capital leases total $58,735 of which $9,880 represents interest (denominated in AUD). Amortization of assets under capital leases totaling $71,000 in 2001, $56,000 in 2000 and $47,000 in 1999 is included in depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation. The net book value of the assets under capital leases at the end of 2001 and 2000 was approximately $393,000 and $368,000 respectively. Approximate future principal payments on all of the above debt are as follows: 2001 $2,040,771 2002 124,967 2003 132,509 2004 145,353 2005 202,857 thereafter 727,251 $3,373,708 -29- NOTE 6.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black- Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: 2001 2000 1999 Dividend yield None None None Expected volatility 71.32% 77.52% 75.18% Risk-free interest rate 4.00% 6.43% 6.43% Expected lives 10 years 10 years 10 years A summary of the status of the Company's outstanding options as of September 29, 2001, September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999 and the changes during the years ending on those dates are presented below: September 29, 2001 September 30, 2000 October 2, 1999 Weighted Weighted Weighted average average average exercise exercise exercise Shares price Shares price Shares price Outstanding at beginning of year 658,500 $ 1.61 303,000 $ 1.75 103,000 $ 1.97 Granted 95,000 .88 381,500 1.51 200,000 1.63 Exercised -15,000 0.50 -8,000 .50 - - Expired or Cancelled -90,000 - -18,000 2.32 - - Outstanding at end of year 648,500 $ 1.58 658,500 $ 1.61 303,000 $ 1.75 -30- Options exercisable At year-end 319,875 209,500 103,000 Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year $ .88 $ 1.33 $ 1.35 The following summarizes information about fixed stock options outstanding at September 29, 2001: Weighted average remaining Weighted Weighted Number contractual average Number average Exercise outstanding life exercise exercisable exercise price at 9/29/01 in years price at 9/29/01 price $1.88 29,000 .50 $ 1.88 29,000 $ 1.88 $2.88 33,000 1.50 $ 2.88 33,000 $ 2.88 $1.63 200,000 7.00 $ 1.63 100,000 $ 1.63 $1.38 141,500 8.25 $ 1.38 62,875 $ 1.38 $2.00 50,000 8.50 $ 2.00 12,500 $ 2.00 $1.75 90,000 8.75 $ 1.75 52,500 $ 1.75 $1.25 10,000 8.75 $ 1.25 10,000 $ 1.25 $ .78 20,000 9.50 $ .78 20,000 $ .78 $ .91 75,000 9.50 $ .91 - $ .91 648,500 319,875 The Company applies APB Opinion 25 in accounting for employee stock options. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. Had compensation costs been determined on the basis of FASB Statement 123 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, net income (loss) from continuing operations would have been reduced to ($563,785), $87,016 and $422,617, respectively, which would have decreased basic earnings (loss) per share by $.04 in 2001, $.04 in 2000 and $.02 in 1999. Diluted earnings per share would have been decreased by $.03 in 2000, $.01 in 1999. NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. The investment is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The carrying value of capital lease obligations approximates fair value since the rates and terms of these instruments are substantially equivalent to those the Company would offer or obtain at the balance sheet date. -31- NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES The following is a reconciliation of income tax expense (benefit) computed at statutory income tax rates to the provision for income taxes: 2001 2000 1999 Federal income taxes at statutory rate $(252,800) $87,600 $ 262,500 State income taxes net of federal income tax benefit (12,800) 16,100 48,400 Nondeductible expenses (6,800) (8,900) 300 Other (1,920) 2,200 (2,200) Income taxes $(274,320) $97,000 $ 309,000 The provision for (benefit from) income taxes is summarized as follows: 2001 2000 1999 Current: Federal $(172,000) $ 79,000 $ 215,000 State - 28,000 68,000 Foreign (92,680) - - (79,320) 107,000 283,000 Deferred: Federal $(123,000) (8,000) 20,000 State (72,000) (2,000) 6,000 (195,000) (10,000) 26,000 $(274,320) $ 97,000 $ 309,000 During the year ended September 29, 2001 the pre-tax loss of approximately $743,600 consists of $630,000 attributable to the United States and $113,600 attributable to foreign locations. -32- The tax effects of the principal temporary differences giving rise to the net current and non-current deferred tax assets totaling $529,807 in 2001 and $189,000 in 2000 are as follows: 2001 2000 Deferred tax assets: Deferred compensation $ 198,000 $ 207,000 Capital loss carryforward 167,700 167,700 Inventory valuation 142,800 51,200 Loss on foreign currency contract 46,000 18,000 Accrued salaries 100,900 7,500 Bad debts 28,300 8,100 Foreign tax credit carryforward 93,000 - Net operating loss carryforward 37,000 - Other 2,307 - Total gross deferred tax assets 816,007 459,500 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation (88,300) (102,800) Amortization (30,200) - (118,500) (102,800) 697,507 356,700 Valuation allowance (167,700) (167,700) $ 529,807 $ 189,000 Management has established a valuation allowance in connection with the deferred tax asset related to the capital loss carry forward. The Company has state net operating loss carryovers totaling approximately $570,000 that can be used to reduce future taxable income. If not utilized by September 30, 2006, these carryovers will expire. In addition the Company has foreign tax credit carryovers totaling approximately $93,000 that can be used to offset future federal taxes on income. NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Leases: Mack Valves leases its headquarters and manufacturing facilities from its present Managing Director under a five-year operating lease dated November 1, 2000. The lease requires annual payments of $59,352 (A$120,000), and is subject to an annual consumer price index adjustment after the first year. In addition, Mack Valves is under obligation for leases expiring at various dates for its sales office facilities and motor vehicles. Goddard Industries Europe leases office facilities in Oxford, England as a tenant-at-will. -33- During the year ended September 29, 2001, approximately 85,851 was charged to expense in connection with the above leases. Approximate future minimum lease payments under the above leases are as follows: 2002 $ 97,015 2003 88,037 2004 70,508 2005 59,352 2006 4,946 $319,858 Employment Agreements: In October 1998, the Board of Directors entered into an employment agreement with the Company's President requiring minimum annual payments of $140,000. The Company has a non-qualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan for the Chairman of the Board providing for payments, in the form of a joint and survivor annuity, of $60,000 for his life and, upon his death $30,000 to his spouse for her life. The payments will be adjusted annually for increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) since 1993 with a lump-sum payment due annually within forty-five days of the fiscal year end. As of September 29, 2001, the deferred compensation liability represents the actuarial present value of this obligation based upon the following assumptions. Interest rate 7.25% Annual increases in the CPI 3.00% Post-retirement mortality 1983 Group Annuity Table The Company has employment agreements with certain key executive officers and directors that become operative only upon a change in control of the Company without the approval of the Board of Directors. Compensation which might be payable under these agreements has not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 29, 2001, since a change in control, as defined, has not occurred. Environmental matters: In 1998, the Company filed a Class "C" Response Action Outcome (RAO) Statement with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection regarding its facility in Worcester, Massachusetts. The Company has been conducting periodic monitoring as required by the RAO. No further action is required at this time. NOTE 10. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Research and development costs charged to operations in 2001, 2000 and 1999 were approximately $349,000, $296,000 and $255,000 respectively. -34- NOTE 11. ADVERTISING COSTS Advertising costs charged to operations in 2001, 2000 and 1999 were approximately $61,000, $29,000 and $8,000, respectively. NOTE 12. PROFIT SHARING PLAN The Company had a profit sharing plan covering substantially all United States employees until xx. Under the plan the Company's profit sharing contribution is determined annually by the Board of Directors. Incorporated into the plan are the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows employees to contribute to their accounts on a pretax basis. The Company matches employee contributions up to a maximum of 25% of each employee's contribution. The Company contributed approximately $13,000, $49,000 and $53,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. NOTE 13. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN The Company had a qualified employee stock purchase plan covering all United States employees except officers and directors which terminated in 2001. Under the plan, employees participating in the plan were granted options semi-annually to purchase common stock of the Company. The number of full shares available for purchase was a function of the employee's accumulated payroll deductions at the end of each six-month interval. The option price was the lesser of 85% of the fair value of the Company's common stock on the first day of the payment period or 85% of the fair value of the Company's common stock on the last day of the payment period. As of September 29, 2001, September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999 there were no options outstanding under the plan. NOTE 14. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTION In connection with the acquisition of Mack Valves described in Note 1, the company entered into a foreign currency exchange contract to acquire A$4,000,000, to fix the amount of its future investment in US dollars. Losses resulting from currency fluctuations approximated $75,200 and $44,400 during the years ending at September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000, respectively, and were attributable to the decline in the value of the Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar. All losses associated with this contract have been recognized in current earnings. Additional foreign currency losses amounted to approximately $2,000. -35- NOTE 15 EARNINGS PER SHARE The following data show the amounts used in computing earnings per share from continuing operations and the effects on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock.

Vinciguerra President / and Joel M. Reck Clerk / of Goddard Industries, Inc. located at 705 Plantation Street, Worcester, MA 01605 certify that these Articles of Amendment affecting articles numbered: III, IV of the Restated Articles of Organization were duly adopted at a meeting held on October 31, 2001, by vote of: 1,846,223 shares of Common Stock of 2,160,684 shares outstanding, 1,492,095 shares of Common Stock of 2,160,684 shares outstanding, and shares of of shares outstanding. 2. being at least two-thirds of each type, class or series outstanding and entitled to vote thereon and of each type, class or series of stock whose rights are adversely affected thereby: -43- To change the number of shares and the par value (if any) of any type, class or series of stock which the corporation is authorized to issue, fill in the following: The total presently authorized is: WITHOUT PAR VALUE STOCKS WITH PAR VALUE STOCKS TYPE NUMBER OF SHARES TYPE NUMBER OF SHARES PAR VALUE Common: Common: 3,000,000 $0.01 Preferred: Preferred: Change the total authorized to: WITHOUT PAR VALUE STOCKS WITH PAR VALUE STOCKS TYPE NUMBER OF SHARES TYPE NUMBER OF SHARES PAR VALUE Common: Common: 12,000,000 $0.01 Preferred: Preferred: 3,000,000 $0.01 Article IV shall be deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced with Article IV attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. -44- AMENDMENT TO RESTATED ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION CONTINUATION PAGES ARTICLE IV The classes of stock of the corporation authorized by Article III hereof shall have the preferences, voting powers, qualifications, and special or relative rights or privileges as to each class thereof and any series now established as set forth in this Article IV. Stock of any class or series authorized pursuant hereto may be issued from time to time by authority of the Board of Directors for such consideration as from time to time may be fixed by vote of the Board of Directors. PART A - COMMON STOCK The holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share and, subject to the rights and preferences of the holders of the Preferred Stock and any other class of stock ranking senior to or on a parity with the Common Stock, shall be entitled to dividends when, as and if declared and paid to the holders of Common Stock, and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, to share ratably in the assets available for distribution to the holders of the Common Stock. PART B - PREFERRED STOCK Section 1. General. The Preferred Stock may consist of one or more series. The Board of Directors may, from time to time, establish and designate the different series and the variations in the relative rights and preferences as between the different series provided in Section 2 hereof, but in all other respects all shares of the Preferred Stock shall be identical. In the event that at any time the Board of Directors shall have established and designated one or more series of Preferred Stock consisting of a number of shares less than all of the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock, the remaining authorized shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be shares of an undesignated series of Preferred Stock until designated by the Board of Directors as being a part of a series previously established or a new series then being established by the Board of Directors. Section 2. Establishment of a Series. Subject to the provisions of this Article IV, the Board of Directors is authorized to establish one or more series of Preferred Stock and, to the extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to fix and determine the preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or privileges of each series including, but not limited to: (a) the number of shares to constitute such series and the distinctive designation such series; (b) the dividend rate on the shares of such series and preferences, if any, and the special and relative rights of such shares of such series as to dividend; (c) whether or not the shares of such series shall be redeemable, and, if redeemable, the price, terms and manner of redemption; -45- (d) the preferences, if any, and the special and relative rights of the shares of such series upon liquidation of the corporation; (e) whether or not the shares of such series shall be subject to the operation of a sinking or purchase fund and, if so, the terms and provisions of such fund; (f) whether or not the shares of such series shall be convertible into shares of any other class or of any other series of the same or any other class of stock of the corporation and, if so, the conversion price or ratio and other conversion rights; (g) the conditions under which the shares of such series shall have separate voting rights or no voting rights; and (h) such other designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such series to the full extent now and hereafter permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Notwithstanding the fixing of the number of shares constituting a particular series, the Board of Directors may at any time authorize the issuance of additional shares of the same series. Section 3. Dividends. Holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, but only out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cash dividends at the rates fixed by the Board of Directors for the respective series, payable on such dates in each year as the Board of Directors shall fix for the respective series as provided in Section 2 (hereinafter referred to as "Dividend Dates"). Until all accrued dividends on each series of Preferred Stock shall have been paid through the last preceding Dividend Date of each such series, no dividend or distribution shall be made to holders of Common Stock other than a dividend payable in Common Stock of the corporation. Dividends on shares of any cumulative series of Preferred Stock shall accumulate from and after the day on which such shares are issued, but arrearages in the payment thereof shall not bear interest. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to limit the right of the corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire at any time any shares of its capital stock. For purposes of this Article IV, the amount of dividends "accrued" on any shares of any cumulative series of Preferred Stock as at any Dividend Date shall be deemed to be the amount of any unpaid dividends accumulated thereon to and including such Dividend Date, whether or not earned or declared. The amount of dividends "accrued" on any noncumulative series of Preferred Stock shall mean only those dividends declared by the Board of Directors, unless otherwise specified for such series by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 2. -46- Section 4. Liquidation. Upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the corporation, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the corporation shall be made to or set apart for any other class of stock, the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to payment of the amount of the preference payable upon such liquidation of the corporation fixed by the Board of Directors for the respective series as provided in Section 2. If, upon any such liquidation, the assets of the corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full to the holders of the Preferred Stock the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of each series of Preferred Stock ratably in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all sums payable were discharged in full. The voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the corporation, the merger or consolidation of the corporation into or with any other corporation, or the merger of any other corporation into it, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation of the corporation for the purpose of this Section 4. Section 5. Retirement. Any shares of Preferred Stock which shall at any time have been redeemed, or which shall at any time have been surrendered for conversion or exchange or for cancellation pursuant to any sinking or purchase fund provisions with respect to any series of Preferred Stock, shall be retired and shall thereafter have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series.
