                  KUHLMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                AND KYSOR TRANSPORTATION PRODUCTS GROUP
                      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF INCOME


1. On March 10, 1997, Kuhlman Corporation (the "Company")
   purchased certain assets of the Transportation Products Group
   ("Kysor") of Kysor Industrial Corporation, a Michigan
   corporation traded on the New York Stock Exchange.  The
   purchase price for Kysor was $86,000,000 in cash plus the
   assumption of approximately $46,000,000 of certain
   liabilities.  The acquisition of Kysor will be accounted for
   as a purchase and was financed from borrowings under the
   Company's existing credit facility. 

2. The Company and Kysor operate and report on a calendar year
   basis.  The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement
   of income combines the results of operations of Kuhlman for
   the three months ended March 31, 1997, including the results
   of Kysor from March 10, and the results of operations for
   Kysor for the period January 1, 1997 through March 9, 1997.

3. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of income for the
   three months ended March 31, 1997 has been prepared as if the
   acquisition of Kysor had been effective January 1, 1996.  In
   the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to
   present fairly such pro forma financial statements have been
   made.  The pro forma financial statements are for information
   purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the
   financial condition or results of operations that would have
   occurred if the acquisition had been consummated as of
   January 1, 1997.

4. Explanation of Pro Forma Adjustments

   (a)    An adjustment to general and administrative expenses of
          $775,000 primarily representing general corporate
          overhead and related costs of Kysor Industrial
          Corporation that were allocated to Kysor during the
          period January 1 through March 9, 1997 and will not
          continue, partially offset by $184,000 representing the
          net change in intangible amortization expense resulting
          from the acquisition.

   (b)    An increase to reflect the incremental interest expense
          associated with the carrying cost of the acquisition
          debt at the Company's average borrowing rate for the
          period.

   (c)    A decrease in taxes on income to reflect the pro forma
          tax impact of the Kysor acquisition.

           Financial Statement should be read in conjunction

KUHLMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                AND KYSOR TRANSPORTATION PRODUCTS GROUP
                      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF INCOME

1. On March 10, 1997, Kuhlman Corporation (the "Company")
   purchased certain assets of the Transportation Products Group
   ("Kysor") of Kysor Industrial Corporation, a Michigan
   corporation traded on the New York Stock Exchange.  The
   purchase price for Kysor was $86,000,000 in cash plus the
   assumption of approximately $46,000,000 of certain
   liabilities.  The acquisition of Kysor will be accounted for
   as a purchase and was financed from borrowings under the
   Company's existing credit facility. 

2. The Company and Kysor operate and report on a calendar year
   basis.  The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement
   of income combines the results of operations of Kuhlman for
   the three months ended March 31, 1997, including the results
   of Kysor from March 10, and the results of operations for
   Kysor for the period January 1, 1997 through March 9, 1997.

3. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of income for the
   three months ended March 31, 1997 has been prepared as if the
   acquisition of Kysor had been effective January 1, 1996.  In
   the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to
   present fairly such pro forma financial statements have been
   made.  The pro forma financial statements are for information
   purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the
   financial condition or results of operations that would have
   occurred if the acquisition had been consummated as of
   January 1, 1997.

4. Explanation of Pro Forma Adjustments

   (a)    An adjustment to general and administrative expenses of
          $775,000 primarily representing general corporate
          overhead and related costs of Kysor Industrial
          Corporation that were allocated to Kysor during the
          period January 1 through March 9, 1997 and will not
          continue, partially offset by $184,000 representing the
          net change in intangible amortization expense resulting
          from the acquisition.

   (b)    An increase to reflect the incremental interest expense
          associated with the carrying cost of the acquisition
          debt at the Company's average borrowing rate for the
          period.

   (c)    A decrease in taxes on income to reflect the pro forma
          tax impact of the Kysor acquisition.
