                    CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   On February 16, 1996, Kuhlman Corporation (the "Company"), through a
     wholly-owned subsidiary, completed a tender offer for the outstanding
     shares of Communication Cable, Inc. ("CCI"), a North Carolina corporation
     traded on NASDAQ, for $14.00 per share in cash.  The purchase of tendered
     shares, which was consummated on February 21, 1996, along with subsequent
     actions have resulted in CCI becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
     Company as of June 28, 1996.  The aggregate total cost of the
     acquisition of the outstanding shares of CCI was approximately
     $43,775,000.  The acquisition was funded primarily through bank debt
     and was accounted for as a purchase.  The purchase price allocations have
     been completed on a preliminary basis, subject to adjustment should new or
     additional facts about the business become known.  CCI engineers, designs
     and manufactures a wide variety of low voltage electronic wire and cable
     products.

2.   The Company operates and reports on a December 31 calendar year basis.
     CCI operated and reported on an October 31 fiscal year basis.  The
     unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income combines the
     statement of income of Kuhlman for the six months ended June 30, 1996
     with the statement of earnings of CCI for the fiscal quarter ended
     January 31, 1996 and the three months ended June 30, 1996.

3.   The unaudited pro forma combined statement of income for the six months
     ended June 30, 1996 has been prepared as if the acquisition of all of
     the outstanding shares of CCI 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, 1996.

4.   Explanation of Pro Forma Adjustments

     (a)  A decrease in sales and cost of goods sold to eliminate intercompany
          sales and profit between Kuhlman and CCI for the period.

     (b)  A decrease in general and administrative expenses of $350,000 to
          eliminate non-recurring and redundant costs, partially offset by
          $280,000 of intangible amortization resulting from the acquisition.

     (c)  An increase in interest expense to reflect the carrying cost of the
          acquisition debt at Kuhlman's average borrowing rate for the period.

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