                              PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

    This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus
or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Because this is a summary, it
is not complete and does not contain all of the information that may be
important to you. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including
the information under "Risk Factors" and the consolidated financial statements
and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus before making an
investment decision. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "we,"
"us," "our," "NN" or the "Company" refer collectively to NN, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, including Industrial Molding Group, L.P. ("IMC"), The Delta
Rubber Company ("Delta"), NN Arte S.De R.L. De D.V. ("NN Arte"), and NN
Euroball, ApS ("Euroball"). Unless otherwise specified, all information assumes
the underwriters do not exercise the over-allotment option.

                                  The Company

    NN manufactures and supplies high precision bearing components, consisting
of balls, rollers, seals and retainers, for leading bearing manufacturers on a
global basis. We are the leading independent manufacturer of precision steel
bearing balls for the North American and European markets. In 1998, we began
implementing a strategic plan designed to position us as a worldwide supplier
of a broad line of bearing components. Through a series of acquisitions
executed as part of that plan, we have built on our strong core ball business
and greatly expanded our bearing component product offering. Today, we offer
the industry's most complete line of bearing components. We emphasize
engineered products that take advantage of our competencies in product design
and high tolerance manufacturing processes. Our bearing customers use our
components in fully assembled ball and roller bearings, which serve a wide
variety of industrial applications in the transportation, electrical,
agricultural, construction, machinery, mining and aerospace markets.

    Our bearing component products accounted for approximately 90% of our
revenue in 2001 and sales of high precision plastic products accounted for the
balance. We estimate that the size of the global market for balls, rollers,
seals and plastic retainers is $3.5 billion. Captive component production of
bearing manufacturers accounts for approximately 65% of this market, while
independent manufacturers currently serve approximately 35% of the market. We
believe that we are a leader in the independent segment of the market with an
approximate 14% market share. We also believe that the percentage of the market
served by independent manufacturers is growing due to the ongoing component
outsourcing trend among our major customers. Outsourcing components enables our
global bearing customers to focus on their core competencies in the design and
engineering of finished bearing technologies. In addition, outsourcing provides
them with significant financial advantages, including lower long-term component
costs and improved returns on invested capital.

    We intend to continue to capitalize on this growing trend of outsourcing
within our global bearing customer base. Recent successes include joining with
our two largest bearing customers, SKF and INA/FAG, to create our
majority-owned subsidiary, Euroball. In forming Euroball, we contributed our
Ireland ball manufacturing facility, while SKF and INA/FAG contributed their
captive ball manufacturing facilities in Italy and Germany. Both SKF and
INA/FAG independently entered into long-term supply agreements designating
Euroball as their primary supplier of ball products in Europe. Through
Euroball, we are Europe's leading provider of precision balls.

                                      1



    We operate eight North American and European manufacturing facilities. Our
two U.S. ball and roller production facilities are located in Tennessee and our
Euroball subsidiary operates three manufacturing facilities located in Ireland,
Germany and Italy. Our seal, retainer and plastic products are manufactured in
three facilities located in Connecticut, Texas and Mexico.

                           Our Competitive Strengths

    We believe that the following elements provide us with significant
competitive strengths in our markets:

   .  High Precision, Low-Cost Manufacturing Capabilities.  Our focus on lean
      manufacturing and continuous improvement have earned us a reputation as a
      supply chain partner that our customers can rely upon to deliver
      value-added components. We believe that our proprietary machinery,
      manufacturing processes and attention to quality and service are
      competitive advantages that allow us to consistently provide high quality
      precision products that meet exacting tolerances. For example, our grade
      3 balls are manufactured to within three-millionths (0.000003) of an inch
      of roundness and our seal, retainer and plastic products are known for
      meeting the strict tolerances demanded by our customers. Our efforts to
      eliminate inefficient processes and improve productivity have enabled us
      to maintain our status as a low-cost producer.

   .  Leading Outsourcing Alternative to Captive Manufacturing.  Euroball is
      the bearing industry's largest component outsourcing initiative and is an
      important milestone for the bearing component industry. This innovative
      model has enhanced the industry's awareness of the benefits of
      outsourcing and has established us as a proven, independent alternative
      to captive manufacturing. Our ability to focus solely on component
      manufacturing allows us to provide our customers with lower cost, higher
      quality products and improved customer service levels over captive
      manufacturing operations. Outsourcing also enables our customers to
      redirect critical capital investments.

   .  Uniquely Positioned as Integrated Supplier of Bearing
      Components.  Through our recent acquisitions, we have become a leading
      independent supplier with the industry's most complete line of bearing
      components. Our core ball and roller product offerings, complemented by
      our more recently acquired bearing retainer and seal products, have
      allowed us to expand our key customer relationships by offering them the
      value of a single supply chain partner for a wide variety of components.

   .  Established Operating Expertise.  Our experienced management team
      continues to be successful in implementing our strategic plan by
      completing and integrating three major acquisitions since 1998 and
      executing significant cost rationalization programs domestically and in
      Europe. Our nine senior managers average over 13 years of experience in
      the bearing component industry, which has allowed us to establish
      excellent working relationships with major bearing companies. Our
      management team has a proven track record of successfully managing our
      global businesses through international economic cycles, including the
      most recent economic downturn.

                             Our Business Strategy

    Our strategic plan is designed to increase our revenues, income and
long-term shareholder value by:

   .  Expanding Our Global Presence.  We believe that maintaining production
      facilities in proximity to our major customers' manufacturing operations
      is essential. We see significant opportunities to increase market share
      and maintain our competitive cost advantage by expanding our global
      presence. We established our European presence in 1997 and, through
      Euroball, have become Europe's leading provider of precision balls to the
      bearing industry. We see further opportunities to expand our global
      manufacturing base to Asia, Eastern Europe and other geographic regions
      to more effectively serve the customers in these markets.

   .  Expanding Our Bearing Component Product Offerings.  We seek to build on
      existing customer relationships and our core manufacturing and service
      competencies by diversifying into additional bearing component
      businesses. Our acquisitions have given us full-service design and
      production capabilities in bearing seals and plastic bearing retainers.
      These products serve the same global bearing customers as our core ball
      and roller products. As a result, we are able to provide, as a single
      independent company, a more diversified product offering to our global
      bearing customers.

   .  Continuing to Pursue Strategic Acquisitions and Alliances.  Because much
      of the world's bearing production capacity is located outside of the
      U.S., we have sought to develop an effective way to serve our customers
      on a global basis and expand these critical customer relationships. We
      believe that outsourcing transactions and strategic acquisitions
      represent the most effective way to expand these relationships. The
      success of our approach, as in the case of Euroball, provides a framework
      for future strategic alliances and for future acquisitions of our
      customers' captive bearing component operations.

                             Corporate Information

(1) EBITDA is defined as the sum of income before income taxes, interest
    expense and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA as measured in this
    prospectus also excludes restructuring and impairment costs, equity in
    earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net gain on involuntary conversion
    and other income and is not necessarily comparable with similarly titled
    measures for other companies. EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical
    indicator and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt
    servicing ability. EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of
    financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the
    United States. The items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in
    understanding and assessing financial performance. EBITDA should not be
    considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows
    generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other
    financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements
    as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity.
(2) Adjusted to reflect the sale of 2,600,000 shares of our common stock in
    this offering at an assumed offering price of $11.20 per share (the last
    reported sale price on July 12, 2002) less underwriting commissions and
    estimated offering expenses payable by us and the application of the
    estimated net proceeds as discussed in "Use of Proceeds."

                                 RISK FACTORS

    You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties, and
all other information contained in this prospectus or incorporated herein by
reference, before making an investment in our common stock. The risks described
below are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be
immaterial may also impair our business operations. Any of the following risks
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
operating results. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could
decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

  We depend heavily on a relatively limited number of customers, and the loss
  of any major customer would have a material adverse effect on our business.

    Sales to various U.S. and foreign divisions of SKF, which is one of the
largest bearing manufacturers in the world, accounted for approximately 35% of
net sales in 2001, and sales to INA/FAG accounted for approximately 19% of net
sales. During 2001, our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 73%
of our consolidated net sales. None of our other customers accounted for more
than 5% of our net sales for 2001. The loss of all or a substantial portion of
sales to these customers would have a material adverse effect on our business.

  The demand for our products is cyclical, which could adversely impact our
  revenues.

    The end markets for fully assembled bearings are cyclical and tend to
decline in response to overall declines in industrial production. As a result,
the market for bearing components is also cyclical and impacted by overall
levels of industrial production. Our sales in the past have been negatively
affected, and in the future will be negatively affected, by adverse conditions
in the industrial production sector of the economy or by adverse global or
national economic conditions generally.

  We may not be able to continue to make the acquisitions necessary for us to
  realize our growth strategy.

    Acquiring businesses that complement or expand our operations has been and
continues to be an important element of our business strategy. We bought our
plastic bearing component business in 1999, formed Euroball in 2000 and
acquired our bearing seal operations in 2001. We cannot assure you that we will
be successful in identifying attractive acquisition candidates or completing
acquisitions on favorable terms in the future. In addition, we may borrow funds
to acquire other businesses, increasing our interest expense and debt levels.
Our inability to acquire businesses, or to operate them profitably once
acquired, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

  The costs and difficulties of integrating acquired businesses could impede
  our future growth.

    We cannot assure you that any future acquisition will enhance our financial
performance. Our ability to effectively integrate any future acquisitions will
depend on, among other things, the adequacy of our implementation plans, the
ability of our management to oversee and operate effectively the combined
operations and our ability to achieve desired operating efficiencies and sales
goals. If we are not able to integrate the operations of acquired companies
successfully into our business, our future earnings and profitability could be
materially and adversely affected.

                                      6



  We depend on a very limited number of foreign sources for our primary raw
  material and are subject to risks of shortages and price fluctuation.

    The steel that we use to manufacture precision balls and rollers is of an
extremely high quality and is available from a limited number of producers on a
global basis. Due to quality constraints in the U.S. steel industry, we obtain
substantially all of the steel used in our U.S. ball and roller production from
overseas suppliers. In addition, we obtain substantially all of the steel used
in our European ball production from a single European source. If we had to
obtain steel from sources other than our current suppliers, particularly in the
case of our European operations, we could face higher prices and transportation
costs, increased duties or taxes, and shortages of steel. Problems in obtaining
steel, and particularly 52100 chrome steel, in the quantities that we require
and on commercially reasonable terms, could have a material adverse effect on
the operating and financial results of our Company.

  We operate in and sell products to customers outside the U.S. and are subject
  to several related risks.

    Because we obtain a majority of our raw materials from overseas suppliers,
actively participate in overseas manufacturing operations and sell to a large
number of international customers, we face risks associated with the following:

   .  adverse foreign currency fluctuations;

   .  changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations, and
      other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations;

   .  the imposition of trade restrictions or prohibitions;

   .  high tax rates that discourage the repatriation of funds to the U.S.;

   .  the imposition of import or other duties or taxes; and

   .  unstable governments or legal systems in countries in which our
      suppliers, manufacturing operations, and customers are located.

We do not have a hedging program in place to help limit the risk associated
with consolidating the operating results of our foreign businesses into U.S.
dollars. An increase in the value of the U.S. dollar and/or the Euro relative
to other currencies may adversely affect our ability to compete with our
foreign-based competitors for international, as well as domestic, sales. Also,
a decline in the value of the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar will negatively
impact our consolidated financial results, which are denominated in U.S.
dollars.

  Our growth strategy depends on outsourcing, and if the industry trend toward
  outsourcing does not continue, our business could be adversely affected.

    Our growth strategy depends in significant part on major bearing
manufacturers continuing to outsource components, and expanding the number of
components being outsourced. This requires manufacturers to depart
significantly from their traditional methods of operations. If major bearing
manufacturers do not continue to expand outsourcing efforts or determine to
reduce their use of outsourcing, our business could be materially adversely
affected.

                                      7



  Our market is highly competitive and many of our competitors have significant
  advantages that could adversely affect our business.

    The global market for bearing components is highly competitive, with a
majority of production represented by the captive production operations of
certain large bearing manufacturers and the balance represented by independent
manufacturers. Captive manufacturers make components for internal use and for
sale to third parties. All of the captive manufacturers, and many independent
manufacturers, are significantly larger and have greater resources than do we.
Our competitors are continuously exploring and implementing improvements in
technology and manufacturing processes in order to improve product quality, and
our ability to remain competitive will depend, among other things, on whether
we are able to keep pace with such quality improvements in a cost effective
manner.

  The production capacity we have added over the last several years has at
  times resulted in our having more capacity than we need, causing our
  operating costs to be higher than expected.

    We have significantly expanded our ball and roller production facilities
and capacity over the last several years. During 1997, we built an additional
manufacturing plant in Kilkenny, Ireland, and we continued this expansion in
2000 through the formation of Euroball with SKF and INA/FAG. Our ball and
roller facilities currently are not operating at full capacity and our results
of operations for 2001 were adversely affected by the under-utilization of our
production facilities, and we face risks of further under-utilization or
inefficient utilization of our production facilities in future years.

  The price of our common stock may be volatile.

    The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant
fluctuations after this offering, and may decline below the public offering
price. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

   .  our operating and financial performance and prospects;

   .  quarterly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators,
      such as earnings per share, net income and revenues;

   .  changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research
      reports by analysts;

   .  loss of any member of our senior management team;

   .  speculation in the press or investment community;

   .  strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or
      restructurings;

   .  sales of our common stock by stockholders;

   .  general market conditions; and

   .  domestic and international economic, legal and regulatory factors
      unrelated to our performance.

    The stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has
often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.
These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our
common stock.

                                      8



  Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover,
  which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.

    Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as Delaware corporate
law, contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change of control or
changes in our management that a stockholder might consider favorable and may
prevent you from receiving a takeover premium for your shares. These provisions
include, for example, a classified board of directors and the authorization of
our board of directors to issue up to 5,000,000 preferred shares without a
stockholder vote. In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that
stockholders may not call a special meeting.

    We are a Delaware corporation subject to the provisions of Section 203 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. Generally, this
statute prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a
business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years
after the date of the transaction in which such person became an interested
stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed
manner. A business combination includes a merger, asset sale or other
transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. We anticipate
that the provisions of Section 203 may encourage parties interested in
acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of directors, because the
stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if a majority of the
directors then in office approve either the business combination or the
transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder.

    These provisions apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by
some of our stockholders. If a change of control or change in management is
delayed or prevented, the market price of our common stock could decline.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

    We estimate that the net proceeds we will receive from this offering, after
deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and our estimated offering
expenses, based on an assumed offering price to the public of $11.20 per share
(the last reported sale price on July 12, 2002), will be approximately $27.2
million (or approximately $33.1 million if the over-allotment option is
exercised in full). We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the
shares of common stock being sold by the selling stockholders.

    We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay a majority of
the borrowings outstanding under the term loan portion of our existing U.S.
credit facilities as required under those arrangements. The term loan under our
credit facility expires on July 1, 2006 and bears interest at a floating rate
equal to LIBOR (1.88% at March 31, 2002) plus an applicable margin of 0.75% to
2.00% based upon calculated financial ratios. Approximately $29.1 million was
outstanding under the term loan as of March 31, 2002. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

    On July 12, 2002, we amended our U.S. credit facility to convert the term
loan portion into a reducing revolving credit line providing initial
availability equivalent to the balance of the term loan prior to the offering.

underwriting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us and the
application of the estimated net proceeds received by us to repay indebtedness
under our credit facility. See "Use of Proceeds." You should read this table

    On July 12, 2002, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the
Nasdaq National Market was $11.20 per share. As of July 12, 2002, there were
160 holders of record of our common stock.

    Since October 1994, we have declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.08 per
share on our common stock. Payment of future dividends is entirely at the
discretion of our board of directors. We may reconsider or revise this policy
from time to time based upon conditions then existing, including, without
limitation, our earnings, financial condition, cash position, capital
requirements, future prospects or other conditions our board of directors may
deem relevant. In addition, our revolving credit facility contains covenants
that limit the amount of any dividends paid in any fiscal year to $5.5 million
and require us to maintain certain financial ratios relating to our ability to
pay our current obligations. Although we expect to continue to declare and pay
cash dividends on our common stock in the future if earnings are available, we
cannot assure you that either cash or stock dividends will be paid in the
future on our common stock or that, if paid, the dividends will be in the same
amount or at the same frequency as paid in the past.

(1) EBITDA is defined as the sum of income before income taxes, interest
    expense and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA as measured in this
    prospectus also excludes restructuring and impairment costs, equity in
    earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net gain on involuntary conversion
    and other income and is not necessarily comparable with similarly titled
    measures for other companies. EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical
    indicator and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt
    servicing ability. EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of
    financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the
    United States. The items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in
    understanding and assessing financial performance. EBITDA should not be
    considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows
    generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other
    financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements
    as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is
qualified in its entirety by, our consolidated financial statements and the
notes thereto and other financial data included elsewhere in this prospectus or
incorporated by reference. Historical operating results and percentage
relationships among any amounts included in the consolidated financial
statements are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Overview

    Our core business is the manufacture and sale of high quality, precision
steel balls and rollers. In 2001, sales of balls and rollers accounted for
approximately 77% of our total net sales, with 74% and 3% of sales from balls
and rollers, respectively. Sales of seals, retainers and plastic products
accounted for the remaining 23% of our sales.

    Beginning with the third quarter of 2000, we have reported our financial
results in three segments: Domestic Ball and Roller, Euroball and Plastics. Our
reportable segments are based on differences in product lines and geographic
locations. The Domestic Ball and Roller segment comprises our United States
ball and roller manufacturing operations. The Euroball segment comprises our
European manufacturing operations. Our Domestic Ball and Roller and Euroball
segments make precision balls and rollers used primarily in the bearing
industry. The Plastics segment comprises the operations of IMC, NN Arte and
Delta. IMC and NN Arte manufacture plastic products for the bearing,
automotive, instrumentation, fiber optic and consumer hardware markets. Delta
manufactures engineered bearing seals used principally in automotive,
industrial, agricultural, mining and aerospace applications.

    In 1998, we developed and implemented a strategic plan designed to position
us as a worldwide supplier of a broad line of bearing components. As part of
this strategy, we sought to augment our internal growth with complementary
acquisitions. In July 1999, we acquired substantially all of IMC's assets. In
August 2000, we acquired a 51% ownership interest in NN Mexico LLC, which owns
99% of NN Arte, and in February 2001, we acquired all of Delta's outstanding
common stock.

    We formed Euroball in July 2000 and own 54% of that entity. The parent
companies of SKF and INA/FAG each owns a 23% interest. We report the financial
results of Euroball on a consolidated basis due to our majority ownership.
Under the terms of a shareholder agreement, both SKF and INA/FAG have the
right, beginning January 2003, to require us to purchase their interest in
Euroball.

    All of our acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method, with
goodwill being amortized on a straight line basis over 20 years. Our results of
operations for 1999, 2000 and 2001 include $325,000, $904,000 and $1.9 million,
respectively, of goodwill amortization related to these acquisitions. Upon
implementation of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" in January 2002, we stopped
goodwill amortization. We currently believe that we will record no impairment
of asset value pursuant to Statement No. 142.

    In December 2001, we closed our Walterboro, South Carolina ball
manufacturing facility in keeping with our strategy to redistribute our global
productive capacity. Because of the shift in production from the U.S. to Europe
in connection with the establishment of our Ireland facility and

                                      14



Euroball operations, the Walterboro facility was no longer needed. The
precision ball production of the Walterboro facility has been fully absorbed by
our remaining U.S. ball and roller manufacturing facilities. In 2001, we
recorded pre-tax charges associated with the closing of $1.9 million, including
a $1.1 million asset impairment charge and $750,000 related to employee
severance costs. These amounts are reflected as restructuring and impairment
costs in our consolidated financial statements. The building, along with
certain machinery and equipment, is held for sale as of December 31, 2001.
These assets are carried on our balance sheet with an aggregate value of $4.3
million as of March 31, 2002.

    In December 2001, we sold our minority interest in a Chinese ball
manufacturer to our partner for cash of $622,000 and a note of $3.3 million. In
2001, we recorded a non-cash, after-tax loss on this sale of $144,000.

Critical Accounting Policies

    Our critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments
underlying them, are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. These
policies have been consistently applied in all material respects and address
such matters as revenue recognition, useful lives of depreciable assets,
inventory valuation, asset impairment recognition, accounts receivable,
business combination accounting and pension and post-retirement benefits. Due
to the estimation processes involved, we consider the following summarized
accounting policies and their application to be critical to understanding our
business operations, financial condition and results of operations. There can
be no assurance that actual results will not significantly differ from the
estimates used in these critical accounting policies.

  Accounts Receivable

    In establishing allowances for doubtful accounts, we continuously perform
credit evaluations of our customers, considering numerous inputs when available
including the customers' financial position, past payment history, relevant
industry trends, cash flows, management capability, historical loss experience
and economic conditions and prospects. Due to the bankruptcy of one plastic
clip customer and other write-offs, we experienced $1.7 million of bad debt
expense during 2001 versus none during 2000.

  Inventories

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
using the first-in, first-out method. Our inventories are not generally subject
to obsolescence due to spoilage or expiring product life cycles. We operate
generally as a make-to-order business. However, we also stock products for
certain customers in order to meet delivery schedules.

  Acquisitions and Acquired Intangibles

    Our acquisitions typically result in intangible assets and goodwill which
may affect the amount of possible future impairment expense that we may incur.
The determination of the value of such intangible assets and goodwill as well
as the determination of their useful lives require us to make estimates that
affect our consolidated financial statements.

                                      15



  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

    Our long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment and goodwill.
The recoverability of such long-term investments is dependent on the
performance of the assets in question, as well as volatility inherent in the
external markets served by those assets. In assessing potential impairment for
these investments, we will consider these factors as well as forecasted
financial performance. Future adverse changes in market conditions or adverse
operating results of the underlying investments could result in our having to
record impairment charges not previously recognized.

  Pension and Post-retirement Obligations

    We use several assumptions in determining our periodic pension and
post-retirement expense and obligations. These assumptions include determining
an appropriate discount rate and rate of compensation increase, as well as the
remaining service period of active employees. We use an independent actuary to
calculate the periodic pension and post-retirement expense and obligations
based upon these assumptions and actual employee census data.

  Useful Lives of Depreciable Assets

    We use judgment in determining the estimated useful lives of our
depreciable long-lived assets. The estimate of useful lives is determined by
our historical experience with the type of asset purchased, which is impacted
by our preventative maintenance programs. We begin depreciation on our
long-lived assets when they are substantially put into service.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31,
2001

    Net Sales.  Net sales decreased by approximately $3.0 million, or 6.0%,
from $50.2 million for the first quarter of 2001 to $47.2 million for the first
quarter of 2002. By segment, sales decreased $2.6 million and $3.6 million for
our Domestic Ball and Roller and Euroball segments, respectively. These
decreases were due mainly to decreased demand for our products as a result of
the economic environment. This decrease was partially offset by a $3.2 million
increase in the Plastics segment's sales resulting from the inclusion of a full
quarter of Delta's results in 2002 as well as sales increases at NN Arte and
IMC.

    Gross Profit.  Gross profit decreased approximately $375,000, or 3.1%, from
$12.0 million for the first quarter of 2001 to $11.7 million for the first
quarter of 2002. Sales volume decreases in our Domestic Ball and Roller segment
were offset by cost savings associated with the closing of the Walterboro
facility, resulting in a net $627,000 decrease. Sales volume decreases in the
Euroball segment were similarly offset by cost reductions, resulting in a net
$784,000 decrease. These decreases were partially offset by the Plastic
segment's operations, where gross profit improved by approximately $1.0
million. The inclusion of a full quarter of Delta's results accounted for
$515,000 of the increase while improved profitability at NN Arte and IMC
accounted for the balance of the

                                      17



increase. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased from 24.0% in
the first quarter of 2001 to 24.7% for the same period in 2002. This increase
in gross profit as a percentage of sales was due primarily to cost savings
associated with the closing of the Walterboro facility as well as other cost
reduction and containment programs initiated during 2001.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by approximately $484,000, or 12.1%, from
$4.0 million in the first quarter of 2001 to $4.5 million in the first quarter
of 2002. Expense increases included $260,000 for strategic planning and
information technology initiatives at Euroball,$172,000 for advisory services
associated with our analysis of strategic alternatives, and $168,000 for
expenses associated with the inclusion of a full quarter of Delta's operations.
Offsetting these increases were savings from various cost reduction and
containment programs. Reflecting our lower sales levels, selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales, increased from 8.0% for
the first quarter of 2001 to 9.5% for the same period in 2002.

    Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense
decreased by approximately $485,000, or 14.6%, from $3.3 million for the first
quarter of 2001 to $2.8 million for the same period in 2002. The adoption of
FASB Statement No. 142 eliminated the amortization of goodwill and contributed
$405,000 of the decrease. Reclassification of the Walterboro facility and
certain equipment as assets held for sale reduced depreciation and amortization
expense by an additional $325,000. Partially offsetting these reductions were
$203,000 of depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the
inclusion of a full quarter of Delta's results in 2002. As a percentage of net
sales, depreciation and amortization expense decreased from 6.6% in the first
quarter of 2001 to 6.0% in the first quarter of 2002.

    Restructuring and Impairment Costs.  We recorded a restructuring charge of
$78,000 in the first quarter of 2002. The restructuring costs principally
pertain to our decision to close the Walterboro facility in 2001. The $78,000
charge represents the accrual for additional severance costs related to the
closing of this facility. Restructuring costs represent 0.2% of net sales in
the first quarter of 2002. There were no similar charges during the first
quarter of 2001.

    Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased by approximately $581,000
from $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2001 to $601,000 during the same
period in 2002. This was due to lower interest rates on our credit facilities,
as well as a decline in outstanding indebtedness. Total debt decreased from
$70.4 million at March 31, 2001 to $54.0 million at March 31, 2002. As a
percentage of net sales, interest expense decreased from 2.4% in the first
quarter of 2001 to 1.3% for the same period in 2002.

    Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates.  Equity in earnings of
unconsolidated affiliates decreased from earnings of $49,000 in the first
quarter of 2001 to none during the same period of 2002. The decrease is due to
the sale of our minority interest in a Chinese ball manufacturer, effective
December 21, 2001.

    Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries.  Minority interest in
consolidated subsidiaries represents the interest of the minority partners of
Euroball and the minority partners of NN Arte's parent company. Reflecting
Euroball's increased earnings, minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries
increased $182,000 from $536,000 for the first quarter of 2001 to $668,000 for
the first quarter of 2002.

                                      18



    Net Income.  Net income increased by $400,000, or 27.6%, from $1.4 million
for the first quarter of 2001 to $1.8 million for the same period in 2002. As a
percentage of net sales, net income increased from 2.9% in the first quarter of
2001 to 3.9% for the first quarter of 2002.

Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2000

    Net Sales.  Our net sales increased $48.0 million, or 36.3%, from $132.1
million in 2000 to $180.2 million in 2001. The inclusion of a full year of
Euroball sales contributed $46.1 million of the increase, excluding the
performance of our facility in Ireland, which we owned prior to the formation
of Euroball. In addition, the inclusion of 10.5 months of Delta's net sales in
2001 contributed $14.0 million of the increase. Offsetting this increase were
decreased sales in the Domestic Ball and Roller and Plastics segments in the
last half of the year due to slowing demand related to the overall economic
environment in the U.S. Decreased sales during the year for the Plastics
segment were also due to decreased sales to one customer.

    Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased by $4.4 million, or 11.4%, from $38.2
million in 2000 to $42.6 million in 2001.  Euroball contributed $10.1 million
of gross profit, net of the contribution of our Ireland facility. The inclusion
of 10.5 months of Delta's results contributed $3.3 million in gross profit.
Offsetting these increases, sales volume deterioration in the Domestic Ball and
Roller and Plastics segments decreased gross profit $9.0 million. Gross profit
decreased from 28.9% of net sales in 2000 to 23.6% of net sales in 2001 due to
the aforementioned sales volume deterioration and to a lesser degree, product
mix changes at the Plastics segment.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $4.8 million, or 41.6%, from $11.6 million
in 2000 to $16.4 million in 2001. The inclusion of a full year of Euroball
results, net of the contribution of our Ireland facility, accounted for
$3.5 million of the increase. The inclusion of 10.5 months of Delta's results
accounted for $1.2 million of the increase. Additionally, bad debt expense
primarily related to the bankruptcy filing of a major Plastics segment customer
contributed $814,000. Offsetting these increases were decreased spending
related to various cost reduction and cost containment efforts. As a percentage
of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 8.8%
in 2000 to 9.1% in 2001.

    Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expenses
increased $4.2 million, or 45.6%, from $9.2 million in 2000 to $13.3 million in
2001. The inclusion of a full year of Euroball results, net of the contribution
of our facility in Ireland, accounted for $2.8 million of the increase. The
inclusion of 10.5 months of Delta's results accounted for $1.1 million of the
increase. As a percentage of net sales, depreciation and amortization increased
from 6.9% in 2000 to 7.4% in 2001.

    Restructuring and Impairment Costs.  Restructuring and impairment costs
increased by $2.3 million from none in 2000 to $2.3 million in 2001. The
increase includes a $1.1 million charge for the recording of impairment on our
Walterboro facility, a $750,000 charge related to employee severance costs
related to the closing of the Walterboro facility and a $365,000 charge related
to Euroball. Restructuring and impairment costs were 1.3% of net sales during
2001.

    Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased by $2.2 million from $1.8
million in 2000 to $4.0 million in 2001. Interest expense related to the
purchase of Delta accounted for $1.0 million of the increase. Additionally, the
inclusion of a full year of interest expense related to the debt incurred by
Euroball accounted for approximately $1.0 million of the increase. As a
percentage of net sales, interest expense increased from 1.3% in 2000 to 2.2%
in 2001.

                                      19



    Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates.  Equity in earnings of
unconsolidated affiliates decreased from $48,000 in 2000 to none in 2001. The
decrease is due to the sale of our minority interest in a Chinese ball
manufacturer, effective December 21, 2001.

    Net Gain on Involuntary Conversion.  We recognized a net gain on
involuntary conversion of $3.9 million in 2001 related to insurance proceeds as
a result of the March 12, 2000 fire at the Erwin facility.

    Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries.  Minority interest in
consolidated subsidiaries increased $1.1 million from $660,000 in 2000 to $1.8
million in 2001. This increase is due entirely to Euroball, which has been
consolidated since its formation on August 1, 2000.

    Net Income.  Net income decreased $5.3 million, or 53.3%, from $10.0
million in 2000 to $4.7 million in 2001. As a percentage of net sales, net
income decreased from 7.6% in 2000 to 2.6% in 2001.

Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 1999

    Net Sales.  Our net sales increased $46.8 million, or 54.9%, from $85.3
million in 1999 to $132.1 million in 2000. The formation of Euroball in August
2000 contributed $30.4 million of the increase, adjusting for the third and
fourth quarter sales of our facility in Ireland, which were consolidated into
our results prior to the formation of Euroball. Additionally the inclusion of a
full year of IMC's net sales contributed $12.9 million of the increase. The
remainder of the increase was due to increased ball and roller sales in the
first half of the year, offset by slowing domestic demand for balls and rollers
in the second half of the year. We experienced decreased sales in the second
half of the year for the Plastics segment due primarily to the bankruptcy of
one customer.

    Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased by $12.9 million, or 50.8%, from
$25.3 million in 1999 to $38.2 million in 2000. Adjusting for our Ireland
facility's third and fourth quarter gross profit, Euroball accounted for $7.5
million of the increase. The inclusion of a full year of IMC's gross profit
contributed $4.0 million in gross profit. The remainder of the increase was
primarily attributed to increased sales at the Domestic Ball and Roller
segment. To a lesser degree, decreased costs at the Domestic Ball and Roller
segment contributed to the increase in gross profit. As a percentage of net
sales, gross profit decreased from 29.7% in 1999 to 28.9% in 2000.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $4.7 million, or 68.8%, from $6.9 million
in 1999 to $11.6 million in 2000. The Euroball segment, net of the contribution
of our Ireland facility, accounted for $2.4 million of the increase. The
inclusion of a full year of IMC's results accounted for $1.6 million of the
increase. The remainder of the increase was primarily attributed to increased
administrative expenses associated with our business development activity
during the year. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased from 8.0% in 1999 to 8.8% in 2000.

    Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expenses
increased $3.0 million, or 49.5%, from $6.1 million in 1999 to $9.2 million in
2000. The addition of Euroball, net of the contribution of our facility in
Ireland, accounted for $2.4 million of the increase. The inclusion of a full
year of IMC's results accounted for the remainder of the increase. As a
percentage of net sales, depreciation and amortization decreased from 7.2% in
1999 to 6.9% in 2000.

    Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased by $1.3 million from $523,000
in 1999 to $1.8 million in 2000. Interest expense related to the debt incurred
by Euroball accounted for $622,000 of the

                                      20



increase. Additionally, the inclusion of a full year of interest expense
related to the purchase of the IMC business accounted for approximately
$500,000 of the increase. The remainder of the increase was due to increased
expenditures associated with our business development activity during 2000.
Additionally, the timing of expenditures associated with the March 12, 2000
fire and the reimbursement of insurance proceeds caused an increase in the
amount outstanding under our domestic line of credit. As a percentage of net
sales, interest expense increased from 0.6% in 1999 to 1.3% in 2000.

    Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates.  Equity in earnings of
unconsolidated affiliates increased from none in 1999 to $48,000 in 2000. The
increase was due to our share of earnings from our interest in a Chinese ball
manufacturer. Earnings from this interest were offset by losses incurred from
the start-up of the marketing arm of this venture and losses sustained from
start-up expenses from the investment in Mexico.

    Net Gain on Involuntary Conversion.  We had a gain on involuntary
conversion of $728,000 in 2000 related to the excess of insurance proceeds over
the net book value of assets destroyed and direct costs incurred as a result of
the March 12, 2000 fire at the Erwin facility.

    Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries.  Minority interest in
consolidated subsidiaries increased from none in 1999 to $660,000 in 2000. This
increase is due entirely to Euroball.

    Net Income.  Net income increased $2.2 million, or 28.7%, from $7.8 million
in 1999 to $10.0 million in 2000. As a percentage of net sales, net income
decreased from 9.1% in 1999 to 7.6% in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    We have a $25 million senior non-secured revolving credit facility,
expiring on July 25, 2003, and a senior non-secured term loan for $35 million
expiring on July 1, 2006. Amounts outstanding under the revolving facility and
the term loan facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR (1.88%
at March 31, 2002) plus an applicable margin of 0.75% to 2.00% based upon
calculated financial ratios. The loan agreement contains customary financial
and non-financial covenants. Restrictive covenants specify, among other things,
restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, payment of dividends, capital
expenditures, and the maintenance of certain financial ratios. We were in
compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2002. At March 31, 2002,
$11.1 million was available under these facilities.

    We intend to use the net proceeds to the Company from this offering to
reduce the term loan portion of our borrowings.   On July 12, 2002, we amended
our U.S. credit facility to convert the term loan portion into a reducing
revolving credit line providing initial availability equivalent to the balance
of the term loan prior to the offering. Amounts available for borrowing under
this facility will be reduced by $7.0 million per annum and the facility will
expire on July 1, 2006. This facility will provide us with access to funds for
future strategic acquisitions and outsourcing alliances involving captive
production businesses that offer us the opportunity to further penetrate
existing markets or expand into new geographic markets. We are engaged in
preliminary discussions with a number of prospective acquisition candidates,
but have not entered into a preliminary or definitive agreement for any
potential acquisition at the present time. We cannot assure you concerning when
or whether any potential acquisition might be completed.

                                      21



    In addition, our partners in Euroball have the right to require us to
purchase their interests in that entity beginning in January 2003, based on a
formula using Euroball's historical net income and cash flow. As a result, the
exact amount of the purchase price cannot be determined until the put right is
exercised. Applying the formula at March 31, 2002, the amount payable in the
event both parties exercised their put rights would have been Euro 22.8 million
or $18.9 million (applying the exchange rate for Euros on that date).

    In July 2000, Euroball and its subsidiaries entered into a senior secured
revolving credit facility of Euro 5.0 million, expiring on July 15, 2006, and a
senior secured term loan of Euro 36.0 million, expiring on July 15, 2006. On
July 31, 2000, upon closing of the joint venture, Euroball borrowed a total of
Euro 31.5 million against these facilities for acquisition financing.
Additional working capital and capital expenditure financing are provided for
under the facility. Amounts outstanding under the facilities accrue interest at
a floating rate equal to EURIBOR (3.36% at March 31, 2002) plus an applicable
margin of 1.125% to 2.25% based upon calculated financial ratios. The loan
agreement contains various restrictive covenants that specify, among other
things, restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness and the maintenance of
certain financial ratios. These facilities also include certain negative
pledges. Euroball was in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31,
2002. At March 31, 2002, Euro 3.6 million was available to Euroball under these
facilities.

    To date, cash generated by Euroball and its subsidiaries has been used
exclusively for general Euroball-specific purposes including investments in
plant, property and equipment and prepayment of the Euroball senior secured
term loan, which is secured by Euroball and its subsidiaries. Accordingly, no
dividends have been declared or paid that may have been used by the Company to
pay down our domestic credit facilities. While the Company controls the
declaration of such dividends, we only receive 54% of the cash distributed--in
accordance with our ownership percentage in Euroball. We anticipate future cash
generated by Euroball will continue to be used for Euroball-specific activities.

    Distributions of cash by Euroball to the Company are subject to U.S.
corporate income taxes. Therefore, our ability to deploy cash generated by
Euroball to meet the funding needs of our domestic operations is limited by the
tax effects associated with the repatriation of those funds.

    Our arrangements with our domestic customers typically provide that
payments are due within 30 days following the date we ship the goods, while
arrangements with foreign customers served from our U.S. facilities generally
provide that payments are due within either 90 or 120 days following the date
of shipment. Euroball provides its customers with 30 day payment terms from
product shipment. Under our inventory management program with certain European
customers, payments typically are due within 30 days after the customer uses
the product. Our net sales and receivables can be influenced by seasonality due
to our relative percentage of European business coupled with many foreign
customers ceasing or significantly slowing production during the month of
August.

    We bill and receive payment from some of our foreign customers in Euro or
other currencies. To date, we have not been materially adversely affected by
currency fluctuations or foreign exchange restrictions. To manage risks
associated with currency fluctuations and foreign exchange restrictions, we
have strategies in place, including a hedging program, which allows management
to hedge foreign currencies when exposures reach certain levels. However, we
have not entered into any currency hedges in 2001 or during the current year. A
strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies could impair the
ability of the Company to compete with international competitors for foreign as
well as domestic sales.

                                      22



    Working capital, which consists principally of accounts receivable,
inventories and accounts payable was $20.7 million at March 31, 2002 as
compared to $17.9 million at December 31, 2001. The ratio of current assets to
current liabilities increased from 1.47 to 1 at December 31, 2001 to 1.53 to 1
at March 31, 2002. Cash flow from operations decreased from $3.5 million during
the first three months of 2001 to $1.1 million during the first three months of
2002.

    During 2002, we plan to spend approximately $6.8 million on capital
expenditures (of which approximately $849,000 has been spent through March 31,
2002) including the purchase of additional machinery and equipment at all of
our domestic and international ball facilities. We intend to finance these
activities with cash generated from operations and funds available under the
credit facilities described above. We believe that funds generated from
operations, borrowings from the credit facilities and the proceeds of this
offering will be sufficient to finance our working capital needs and projected
capital expenditure requirements through December 2003.

The Euro

    We currently have operations in Italy, Germany and Ireland, all of which
are Euro participating countries, and we sell product to customers in many of
the participating countries. The Euro has been adopted as the functional
currency at all of Euroball's locations.

Seasonality and Fluctuation in Results of Operations

    Our net sales historically have been seasonal in nature, and as foreign
sales have increased as a percentage of total sales, seasonality has become a
more significant factor for the Company in that many foreign customers cease
production during the month of August.

Inflation and Changes in Prices

    While our operations have not been affected by inflation during recent
years, prices for 52100 chrome steel and other raw materials are subject to
change. For example, during 1995, due to an increase in worldwide demand for
52100 chrome steel and the decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to
foreign currencies, we experienced an increase in the price of 52100 chrome
steel and some difficulty in obtaining an adequate supply of 52100 chrome steel
from our existing suppliers. In our U.S. operations, our typical pricing
arrangements with steel suppliers are subject to adjustment once every six
months. In an effort to limit our exposure to fluctuations in steel prices, we
have generally avoided the use of long-term, fixed price contracts with our
customers. Instead, we typically reserve the right to increase product prices
periodically in the event of increases in our raw material costs.

                                      23



Historically, we have been able to minimize the impact on our operations
resulting from the 52100 chrome steel price increases by taking such measures.
Certain sales agreements are in effect with SKF and INA/FAG which provide for
minimum purchase quantities and specified, annual sales price adjustments that
may be modified up or down for changes in material costs. These agreements
expire during 2006.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

    In June 2000, the FASB issued Statement No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activity, an Amendment of SFAS 133."
Statement No. 133 and Statement No. 138 require that all derivative instruments
be recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. Statement No.
133 and Statement No. 138 became effective for us January 1, 2001.

    In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations"
and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Statement No.
141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement No. 141 also specifies
criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business
combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill.
Statement No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives no longer be amortized, but rather, periodically tested for
impairment. The effective date of Statement No. 142 is January 1, 2002. As of
the date of adoption, we had unamortized goodwill of approximately $39.8
million, which will be subject to the provisions of Statement No. 142. As a
result of adopting these standards in the first quarter of 2002, we no longer
amortize goodwill. We estimate that amortization expense for goodwill would
have been approximately $2.1 million (or $1.2 million net of tax and minority
interest) for 2002. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of
Statement No. 142 related to the transitional goodwill impairment review
required by the new standards during the first six months after adoption.

    In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations." Statement No. 143 requires capitalizing any asset
retirement costs as part of the total cost of the related long-lived asset and
subsequently allocating the total expense to future periods using a systematic
and rational method. Adoption of Statement No. 143 is required for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2002. We are currently evaluating the impact of
adoption of Statement No. 143.

    In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets." Statement No. 144 supercedes
Statement No. 121 but retains many of its fundamental provisions. Additionally,
Statement No. 144 expands the scope of discontinued operations to include more
disposal transactions. The provisions of Statement No. 144 are effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
We have adopted Statement No. 144 effective January 1, 2002. We believe that no
asset impairment exists under the provisions of Statement No. 144 that would
materially affect our financial condition.

                                      24



                                   BUSINESS

The Company

    NN manufactures and supplies high precision bearing components, consisting
of balls, rollers, seals and retainers, for leading bearing manufacturers on a
global basis. We are the leading independent manufacturer of precision steel
bearing balls for the North American and European markets. In 1998, we began
implementing a strategic plan designed to position us as a worldwide supplier
of a broad line of bearing components. Through a series of acquisitions
executed as part of that plan, we have built on our strong core ball business
and greatly expanded our bearing component product offering. Today, we offer
the industry's most complete line of bearing components. We emphasize
engineered products that take advantage of our competencies in product design
and high tolerance manufacturing processes. Our bearing customers use our
components in fully assembled ball and roller bearings, which serve a wide
variety of industrial applications in the transportation, electrical,
agricultural, construction, machinery, mining and aerospace markets.

Our Competitive Strengths

    We believe that the following elements provide us with significant
competitive strengths in our markets:

   .  High Precision, Low-Cost Manufacturing Capabilities.  Our focus on lean
      manufacturing and continuous improvement have earned us a reputation as a
      supply chain partner that our customers can rely upon to deliver
      value-added components. We believe that our proprietary machinery,
      manufacturing processes and attention to quality and service are
      competitive advantages that allow us to consistently provide high quality
      precision products that meet exacting tolerances. For example, our grade
      3 balls are manufactured to within three-millionths (0.000003) of an inch
      of roundness and our seal, retainer and plastic products are known for
      meeting the strict tolerances demanded by our customers. Our efforts to
      eliminate inefficient processes and improve productivity have enabled us
      to maintain our status as a low-cost producer.

   .  Leading Outsourcing Alternative to Captive Manufacturing.  Euroball is
      the bearing industry's largest component outsourcing initiative and is an
      important milestone for the bearing component industry. This innovative
      model has enhanced the industry's awareness of the benefits of
      outsourcing and has established us as a proven, independent alternative
      to captive manufacturing. Our ability to focus solely on component
      manufacturing allows us to provide our customers with lower cost, higher
      quality products and improved customer service levels over captive
      manufacturing operations. Outsourcing also enables our customers to
      redirect critical capital investments.

   .  Uniquely Positioned as Integrated Supplier of Bearing
      Components.  Through our recent acquisitions, we have become a leading
      independent supplier with the industry's most complete line of bearing
      components. Our core ball and roller product offerings, complemented by
      our more recently acquired bearing retainer and seal products, have
      allowed us to expand our key customer relationships by offering them the
      value of a single supply chain partner for a wide variety of components.

   .  Established Operating Expertise.  Our experienced management team
      continues to be successful in implementing our strategic plan by
      completing and integrating three major acquisitions since 1998 and
      executing significant cost rationalization programs domestically

                                      25



      and in Europe. Our nine senior managers average over 13 years of
      experience in the bearing component industry, which has allowed us to
      establish excellent working relationships with major bearing companies.
      Our management team has a proven track record of successfully managing
      our global businesses through international economic cycles, including
      the most recent economic downturn.

Our Business Strategy

    Our strategic plan is designed to increase our revenues, income and
long-term shareholder value by:

   .  Expanding Our Global Presence.  We believe that maintaining production
      facilities in proximity to our major customers' manufacturing operations
      is essential. We see significant opportunities to increase market share
      and maintain our competitive cost advantage by expanding our global
      presence. We established our European presence in 1997 and, through
      Euroball, have become Europe's leading provider of precision balls to the
      bearing industry. We see further opportunities to expand our global
      manufacturing base to Asia, Eastern Europe and other geographic regions
      to more effectively serve the customers in these markets.

   .  Expanding Our Bearing Component Product Offerings.  We seek to build on
      existing customer relationships and our core manufacturing and service
      competencies by diversifying into additional bearing component
      businesses. Our acquisitions have given us full-service design and
      production capabilities in bearing seals and plastic bearing retainers.
      These products serve the same global bearing customers as our core ball
      and roller products. As a result, we are able to provide, as a single
      independent company, a more diversified product offering to our global
      bearing customers.

   .  Continuing to Pursue Strategic Acquisitions and Alliances.  Because much
      of the world's bearing production capacity is located outside of the
      U.S., we have sought to develop an effective way to serve our customers
      on a global basis and expand these critical customer relationships. We
      believe that outsourcing transactions and strategic acquisitions
      represent the most effective way to expand these relationships. The
      success of our approach, as in the case of Euroball, provides a framework
      for future strategic alliances and for future acquisitions of our
      customers' captive bearing component operations.

Products

    Precision Steel Balls.  We offer high quality, precision steel balls
ranging in diameter from  1/8 of an inch to 12 1/2 inches. We produce and sell
balls in grades ranging from grade 3 to grade 1000 as established by the
American Bearing Manufacturers Association. The grade number for a ball or a
roller indicates the degree of spherical or cylindrical precision of the ball
or roller; for example, grade 3 balls are manufactured to within
three-millionths of an inch of roundness and grade 50 rollers are manufactured
to within fifty-millionths of an inch of roundness. Our steel balls are used
primarily by manufacturers of anti-friction bearings where precise spherical,
tolerance and surface finish accuracies are required.

    Steel Rollers.  We manufacture rollers in a wide variety of sizes, ranging
from grade 50 to grade 1000, that are the primary components of anti-friction
bearings that are subjected to heavy load conditions. Our roller products are
used primarily for applications similar to those of our ball product lines,
plus hydraulic pumps and motors.


                                      26



    Bearing Seals and Retainers.  We manufacture and sell a wide range of
precision bearing seals produced through a variety of compression and injection
molding processes and adhesion technologies to create rubber-to-metal bonded
bearing seals. The seals are used in applications for automotive, industrial,
agricultural, mining and aerospace markets. We also manufacture and sell high
precision plastic retainers for ball and roller bearings used in a wide variety
of industrial applications. Retainers are used to separate and space balls or
rollers within a fully assembled bearing.

    Precision Plastic Components.  We also manufacture and sell a wide range of
specialized plastic products including automotive under-the-hood components,
electronic instrument cases and precision electronic connectors and lenses, as
well as a variety of other specialized parts.

Customers

    Our bearing component products are supplied primarily to bearing
manufacturers for use in a broad range of industrial applications, including
transportation, electrical, agricultural, construction, machinery, mining and
aerospace. We supply over 500 customers; however, our top 10 customers account
for approximately 73% of our revenue. These top 10 customers include SKF,
INA/FAG, Torrington, GKN, SNR, Koyo, NTN, Timken, Delphi, and NSK. In 2001, 40%
of our products was sold to customers in North America, 50% to customers in
Europe, and the remaining 10% to customers located throughout the rest of the
world, primarily Asia. As seen in the chart below, our top two customers
constituted approximately 54% of sales in 2001, demonstrating our long-term,
strategic relationships with these key customers. Historically, we have
increased our supply to SKF and INA/FAG on an annual basis and we have almost
tripled our sales to these two companies since 1999. These gains are directly
attributed to the success of Euroball and our efforts to develop a closer
partnering relationship with our global bearing customers.

    Certain customers have contracted to purchase all of their bearing
component requirements from us, although they are not obligated to purchase any
specific amounts. While firm orders are generally received on a monthly basis,
we are normally aware of future order levels well in advance of the placement
of a firm order. For our domestic ball and roller operations, we maintain a
computerized, bar coded inventory management system with most of our major
customers that enables us to determine on a day-to-day basis the amount of
these components remaining in a customer's inventory. When such inventories
fall below certain levels, we automatically ship additional product.

    Euroball has entered into six-year supply agreements with SKF and INA/FAG
providing for the purchase of Euroball products in amounts and at prices that
are subject to adjustment on an annual basis. The agreements contain provisions
obligating Euroball to maintain specified quality standards and comply with
various ordering and delivery procedures, as well as other customary
provisions. SKF may terminate its agreement if, among other things, Euroball
acquires or becomes acquired by a competitor. INA/FAG may terminate its
agreement if , among other things, Euroball assigns its rights under the
agreement, whether voluntarily or by operation of law.

    As shown in the chart below, the addition of the retainer and seal product
lines have further enhanced many of our key customer relationships, making us a
more complete and integrated supplier of bearing component parts.

Sales and Marketing

    A primary emphasis of our marketing strategy is to expand key customer
relationships by offering them the value of a single supply chain partner for a
wide variety of components. As a result, we have integrated our sales
organization on a global basis across all of our product lines. Our sales
organization includes seven direct sales and 12 customer service
representatives. Due to the technical nature of many of our products, our
engineers and manufacturing management personnel also provide technical sales
support functions, while internal sales employees handle customer orders and
other general sales support activities.

    Our bearing component marketing strategy focuses on increasing our
outsourcing relationships with global bearing manufacturers that maintain
captive bearing component manufacturing operations. Our marketing strategy for
our other precision plastic products is to offer custom manufactured, high
quality, precision parts to niche markets with high value-added characteristics
at competitive price

                                      28



levels. This strategy focuses on relationships with key customers that require
the production of technically difficult parts, enabling us to take advantage of
our strengths in custom product development, tool design, and precision molding
processes.

Manufacturing Process

    We have become a leading independent bearing component manufacturer through
exceptional service and high quality manufacturing processes. We are recognized
throughout the industry as a low-cost producer. For example, with balls, we
have the ability to design and build our own production machinery at a lower
overall cost than the equivalent machines in the commercial marketplace. In
addition to the significant capital cost savings associated with our
proprietary machine design, a more significant benefit is the reduced
manufacturing time needed to produce our high precision balls and rollers.
Because our ball and roller manufacturing processes incorporate the use of
standardized tooling, load sizes, and process technology, we are able to
produce large volumes of products while maintaining high quality standards.

    The key to our low-cost, high quality production of seals and retainers is
the incorporation of customized engineering into our manufacturing processes.
We employ 20 skilled engineers who design and customize the tooling necessary
to meet the needs of each customer's product. This design process includes the
testing and quality assessment of each product.

Suppliers

    The primary raw material used in our ball and roller business is 52100
chrome steel in rod and wire form, and in 2001 it accounted for approximately
97% of the steel we use. The 52100 chrome steel balls have a high degree of
hardness, provide excellent resistance to wear and deformation and are used
primarily by manufacturers of anti-friction ball bearings where precise
spherical and tolerance accuracies are required. Our other steel requirements
include type 440C stainless steel and type S2 rock bit steel.

    We purchase substantially all of our 52100 chrome steel requirements from
foreign sources in Europe and Japan. Because the vast majority of the 52100
chrome steel we use has been exempted from recent U.S. tariffs on imported
steel, we have not been materially affected by import regulations. We allocate
steel purchases among suppliers on the basis of price and, more significantly,
composition and quality. The pricing arrangements with our suppliers are
typically subject to adjustment once every six months. In general, we do not
enter into written supply agreements with suppliers or commit to maintain
minimum monthly purchases of steel.

    We have established a supply alliance with The Torrington Company, a
subsidiary of Ingersoll-Rand, to leverage our combined supply requirements. The
purchasing entity is empowered to negotiate and execute supply agreements for
both companies. Because we both use similar raw materials from many common
sources, we believe the potential synergies in raw material procurement will be
of significant value.

    The primary raw materials used in our plastic products are engineered
resins. We purchase substantially all of our resin requirements from domestic
manufacturers and the majority of these suppliers are international companies
with resin manufacturing facilities located throughout the world. Our seal
operation uses a variety of rubber molds and metal stampings that we purchase
from four main suppliers with which we have had long-term relationships.

                                      29



Competition

    The global market for bearing components is highly competitive, with the
majority of production represented by the captive production operations of
certain large bearing manufacturers and the balance represented by independent
manufacturers. All of the captive manufacturers, and many independent
manufacturers, are significantly larger than we and have greater resources than
do we. Our competitors are continuously exploring and implementing improvements
in technology and manufacturing processes in order to improve product quality,
and our ability to remain competitive will depend, among other things, on
whether we are able to keep pace with such quality improvements in a cost
effective manner.

    Our primary foreign competitors include Amatsuji Steel Ball Manufacturing
Company, Ltd. ("AKS") and Tsubaki Nakashima Company, Ltd. ("Tsubaki"), and our
main domestic competitor is Hoover Precision Products, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Tsubaki. While AKS and Tsubaki control a majority of the market
share in Asia, and Tsubaki, through its Hoover subsidiary, has comparable share
to ours in the Americas, neither has significant market share in Europe. We
compete effectively through our precision manufacturing capabilities,
reputation for consistent quality and reliability, and high employee
productivity.

    Seal and retainer manufacturers compete on price, custom quality, tool
engineering capabilities, and lead-time. Our primary competitor in the bearing
retainer segment is Nakanishi Manufacturing Corporation. Nypro, Inc. and Key
Plastics are our main competitors in the automotive segment. We believe we
compete effectively through our product development capabilities, tool design
and fabrication, precision molding processes, and reputation in the marketplace
as a quality producer of technically difficult products.

Facilities

    We operate a total of eight facilities in North America and Europe, and our
corporate headquarters is located in Johnson City, Tennessee. Our ball and
roller facilities consist of over 180,000 square feet in two Tennessee plants
and 630,000 square feet in three European plants. Our plastic and rubber
bearing components and other products are produced in three plants in
Connecticut, Texas and Mexico that total almost 300,000 square feet.

Employees

    As of June 30, 2002, we employed a total of 1,349 full-time employees. Our
U.S. ball and roller operations employed 234 workers, Euroball employed 671
workers, our other product operations employed 439 workers, and there were five
employees at the Company's corporate headquarters. Of our total employment, 19%
are management/staff employees and 81% are production employees. We believe we
are able to attract and retain high quality employees because of our quality
reputation, technical expertise, history of financial and operating stability,
attractive employee benefit programs, and our progressive, employee-friendly
working environment. Only the employees in the Eltmann, Germany and Pinerolo,
Italy plants are unionized and we have never experienced any involuntary work
stoppage. We consider our relations with our employees to be excellent.

                       DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK

    Our authorized capital stock consists of 45 million shares of common stock
and 5 million shares of undesignated preferred stock, $.01 par value per share.
As of July 12, 2002, there were 15,367,273 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding. Upon completion of this offering, there will be 17,967,273 shares
of common stock issued and outstanding, assuming no exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option. There are no shares of our preferred stock
outstanding.

Common Stock

    Voting Rights.  Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all
matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including the election of
directors. Holders of shares of our common stock have no cumulative voting
rights. Therefore, the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock
voted in an election of directors can elect all of the directors then standing
for election, subject to any rights of the holders of any preferred stock that
may be outstanding in the future. Directors are divided into three classes.
Each year the terms of the members of a different class of directors expire and
the directors for that class are elected to three-year terms.

    Dividends.  Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive
dividends, if, as and when such dividends are declared by our Board of
Directors out of assets legally available therefor, after payment of any
dividends required to be paid on shares of preferred stock that may be
outstanding in the future.

    Liquidation.  In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the corporation after payment of
our debts and other liabilities and making provision for the holders of
preferred stock that may be outstanding in the future our remaining assets will
be distributed among the holders of our common stock.

Preferred Stock

    Our Board of Directors has authority to issue preferred stock in one or
more series and to establish the rights and restrictions granted to or imposed
on any unissued shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares
constituting any series, without any further vote or action by our
stockholders. Our Board of Directors has the authority, without approval of our
stockholders, to issue preferred stock that has voting, dividend and conversion
rights superior to our common stock, which could have the effect of deterring,
delaying or preventing a change in control. We currently have no plans to issue
any shares of preferred stock.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

    The Transfer Agent and Registrar for our common stock is SunTrust Bank,
Atlanta, Georgia.

                                 UNDERWRITING

    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an underwriting agreement
among the selling stockholders, us and McDonald Investments Inc. and Legg Mason
Wood Walker, Incorporated, as representatives of the underwriters named in the
agreement, we and the selling stockholders have agreed to sell to each
underwriter, and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase from the
selling stockholders and us, the number of shares of common stock set forth
opposite its name in the table below.



                                                  Number of Shares
             Underwriter                          of Common Stock

             Legg Mason Wood Walker, Incorporated

                 Total...........................      6,500,000
                                                   =============


    Under the terms of the underwriting agreement, the underwriters are
committed to purchase all of the shares of common stock if any are purchased.
If an underwriter defaults, the underwriting agreement provides that the
purchase commitments of the nondefaulting underwriters may be increased or the
underwriting agreement may be terminated.

    We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required
to make in respect thereof.

    The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters' obligations to
purchase the shares of common stock depend on the satisfaction of the
conditions contained in the underwriting agreement.

                                      36



The conditions contained in the underwriting agreement include the requirement
that the representations and warranties made by us and the selling stockholders
to the underwriters are true, that there is no material change in the financial
markets and that we deliver to the underwriters customary closing documents.

    The underwriters propose to offer our shares of common stock directly to
the public at $       per share and to certain dealers at such price less a
concession not in excess of $       per share. The underwriters may allow, and
such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $       per share to
certain dealers.

    The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discount we
and the selling stockholders will pay to the underwriters. Such amounts are
shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option
to purchase 975,000 additional shares of common stock.

        Proceeds to us (before expenses)     $         $         $

--------
(1) The underwriting discount is   %, or $     per share.

    We expect to incur expenses of approximately $310,000 in connection with
this offering.

    We and the selling stockholders have granted the underwriters an option to
purchase up to 975,000 additional shares of common stock at the public offering
price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters may exercise the option
for 30 days from the date of this prospectus solely to cover any
over-allotments. If the underwriters exercise this option, each will be
obligated, subject to conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, to
purchase a number of additional shares of common stock proportionate to that
underwriter's initial amount reflected in the above table.

    Each of our officers and directors, and each of the selling stockholders,
has agreed with the underwriters, for a period of 90 days after the date of
this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell any shares of
common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of
common stock owned by the holders, without the prior written consent of the
underwriters. However, the underwriters may, in their sole discretion and at
any time without notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject
to these agreements.

    Until the distribution of the shares of common stock is completed,
Securities and Exchange Commission rules may limit the underwriters and selling
group members from bidding for and purchasing our shares of common stock.
However, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize the price
of the shares of common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or
maintain that price.

    If the underwriters create a short position in the shares of common stock
in connection with the offering, i.e., if they sell more shares than are listed
on the cover of this prospectus, the underwriters may reduce that short
position by purchasing shares in the open market. The underwriters may also
elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of the
over-allotment option described above. Purchases of the shares of common stock
to stabilize the price or to reduce a short position may cause the price of the
shares of common stock to be higher than it might be in the absence of such
purchases.

                                      37



    Neither we nor the underwriters makes any representation or prediction as
to the effect the transactions described above may have on the price of the
shares of common stock. These transactions may occur on the Nasdaq National
Market or otherwise. If such transactions are commenced, they may be
discontinued without notice at any time.

    Royce & Associates, LLC, an affiliate of Legg Mason Wood Walker,
Incorporated, manages accounts that beneficially own 911,800 shares of our
common stock as of June 4, 2002. In addition, some of the underwriters and
their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment
banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with
us. They have received customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

                                      38

will be passed upon for us by Blackwell Sanders Peper Martin LLP, Two Pershing

                         Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors
NN, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NN, Inc. as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related consolidated statements of income
and comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders'
equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NN, Inc. as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for derivative instruments and hedging
activities in 2001.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

    (a) Description of Business

        The Company is a manufacturer of precision balls, rollers, plastic
        injection molded products, and precision bearing seals. The Company's
        balls, rollers, and bearing seals are used primarily in the domestic
        and international anti-friction bearing industry. The Company's plastic
        injection molded products are used in the bearing, automotive,
        instrumentation and fiber optic industries. The Domestic Ball and
        Roller segment is comprised of two manufacturing facilities located in
        the eastern United States. The Company's Euroball segment, which was
        acquired in July 2000, (see Note 2) is comprised of manufacturing
        facilities located in Kilkenny, Ireland, Eltmann, Germany, and
        Pinerolo, Italy. All of the facilities in the Euroball segment are
        engaged in the production of precision balls and rollers. The Plastics
        segment consists of IMC, acquired in July 1999, NN Arte, formed in
        August 2000 and Delta, acquired in February 2001. IMC has two
        production facilities in Texas, NN Arte has one production facility in
        Guadalajara, Mexico and Delta has two production facilities in
        Connecticut (see Note 2). All of the Company's segments sell to foreign
        and domestic customers.

    (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
        maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

    (c) Inventories

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
        determined using the first-in, first-out method.

    (d) Property, Plant and Equipment

        Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
        depreciation. Assets held for sale are stated at lower of cost or fair
        market value less selling cost. Expenditures for maintenance and
        repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals and
        betterments are capitalized. When a major property item is retired, its
        cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed
        from the property accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in income
        or expense, respectively. The Company reviews the carrying values of
        long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
        circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be
        recoverable. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company
        incurred an impairment charge of $1,083 to write-down the land and
        building at the Walterboro, SC production facility to its net
        realizable value, which was based upon fair market value appraisals.
        The carrying value of this land and building of $1,692 has been
        classified as a component of assets held for sale in the accompanying
        financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the
        Company did not incur any impairment charges.

                                      F-8

                 Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
                     (In thousands, except per share data)


        Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over
        the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets for financial
        reporting purposes. Accelerated depreciation methods are used for
        income tax purposes.

    (e) Revenue Recognition

        The Company generally recognizes a sale when goods are shipped and
        ownership is assumed by the customer. The Company has an inventory
        management program for certain major ball and roller customers whereby
        sales are recognized when products are used by the customer from
        consigned stock, rather than at the time of shipment.

    (f) Income Taxes

        Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
        Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
        consequences attributable to differences between the financial
        statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
        respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
        Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
        rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
        temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
        effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
        is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

    (g) Net Income Per Common Share

        Basic earnings per share reflect reported earnings divided by the
        weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings
        per share include the effect of dilutive stock options outstanding
        during the year.

    (h) Stock Incentive Plan

        The Company applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting
        prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
        "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations
        including Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation
        No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock
        Compensation (an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25)" issued in March
        2000, to account for its fixed plan stock options. Under this method,
        compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the
        current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise
        price. The Company also applies the provision of APB Opinion No. 25 to
        its variable stock options. Compensation expense is recognized for
        these awards if the current market price of the underlying stock
        exceeds $10.50. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
        123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," established accounting
        and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of
        accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by
        SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the
        intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and has
        adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.

                                      F-9

                 Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
                     (In thousands, except per share data)


    (i) Principles of Consolidation

        The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
        NN, Inc. and subsidiaries in which the Company owns more than 50%
        voting interest. Unconsolidated subsidiaries and investments where
        ownership is between 20% and 50% are accounted for under the equity
        method. All significant intercompany profits, transactions, and
        balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The ownership interests
        of other shareholders in companies that are more than 50% owned, but
        less than 100% owned, are reflected as minority interests. Minority
        interest represents the minority shareholders interest of Euroball and
        NN Arte.

    (j) Foreign Currency Translation

        Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiary are
        translated at current exchange rates, while revenue and expenses are
        translated at average rates prevailing during the year. Translation
        adjustments are reported as a component of other comprehensive income.

    (k) Goodwill

        Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair
        value of net assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis
        over the expected periods to be benefited, generally 20 years. The
        Company assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset by
        determining whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its
        remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating
        cash flows of the acquired operation. The amount of goodwill
        impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future
        operating cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company's
        average cost of funds.

    (l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

        The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the
        provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
        Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This
        Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
        intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
        circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
        recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured
        by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash
        flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are
        considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured
        by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the
        fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the
        lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

    (m) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

        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 and the reported amounts of revenues
        and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
        from those estimates.

    (n) Reclassifications

        Certain 2000 and 1999 amounts have been reclassified to conform with
        the 2001 presentation.

    (o) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting
        for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." In June
        2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
        Instruments and Certain Hedging Activity, an Amendment of SFAS 133."
        SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 require that all derivative instruments
        be recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. SFAS
        No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 are effective for all fiscal quarters of all
        fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2000, which for the Company was
        effective January 1, 2001.

        In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
        Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" (Statement No. 141), and
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and
        Other Intangible Assets" (Statement No. 142). Statement No. 141
        requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all
        business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement No. 141
        also specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method
        business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from
        goodwill. Statement No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible
        assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead
        tested for impairment. The effective date of Statement No. 142 is
        January 1, 2002. As of the date of adoption, the Company expects to
        have unamortized goodwill of approximately $39.8 million, which will be
        subject to the provisions of Statement No. 142. Amortization expense
        related to goodwill was approximately $1.8 million, $0.9 million and
        $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
        respectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
        adoption of Statement No. 142.

        In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
        Standards No. 143, "Accounting For Asset Retirement Obligations." This
        Statement requires capitalizing any retirement costs as part of the
        total cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocating
        the total expense to future periods using a systematic and rational
        method. Adoption of the Statement is required for fiscal years
        beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the
        impact of adoption of Statement No. 143.

        In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
        Standards No. 144, "Accounting For The Impairment or Disposal of
        Long-lived Assets." This Statement supercedes Statement No. 121 but
        retains many of its fundamental provisions. Additionally, this
        Statement expands the scope of discontinued operations to include more
        disposal transactions. The provisions of this Statement are effective
        for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
        December 15, 2001. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
        Statement No. 144.

    (p) Derivative Financial Instruments

        In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting
        for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." In June
        2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
        Instruments and Certain Hedging Activity, an Amendment of SFAS 133."
        SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 require that all derivative instruments
        be recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. SFAS
        No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 are effective for all fiscal quarters of all
        fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2000, which for the Company was
        effective January 1, 2001.

        The Company has an interest rate swap accounted for in accordance with
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting
        for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The Company adopted
        SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001, which establishes accounting and
        reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging
        activities. The Standard requires the recognition of all derivative
        instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. The Standard allows for
        hedge accounting if certain requirements are met including
        documentation of the hedging relationship at inception and upon
        adoption of the Standard.

        In connection with a variable EURIBOR rate debt financing in July 2000
        the Company's 54% owned subsidiary,Euroball entered into an interest
        rate swap with a notional amount of Euro 12.5 million for the purpose
        of fixing the interest rate on a portion of their debt financing. The
        interest rate swap provides for the Company to receive variable Euribor
        interest payments and pay 5.51% fixed interest. The interest rate swap
        agreement expires in July 2006 and the notional amount amortizes in
        relation to principal payments on the underlying debt over the life of
        the swap.

        The cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles for the
        adoption of SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001 resulted in a
        transition adjustment net loss of $98 which is net of an income tax
        benefit of $112 and the related minority interest impact of $84. The
        interest rate swap does not qualify for hedge accounting under the
        provisions of SFAS No. 133; therefore, the transition adjustment for
        adoption of SFAS No. 133 and any subsequent periodic changes in fair
        value of the interest rate swap are recorded in earnings.

        As of December 31, 2001, the fair value of the swap is a before tax
        loss of approximately $374 which is recorded in other non-current
        liabilities. The change in fair value during the year ended December
        31, 2001 was a loss of approximately $80 which has been included as a
        component of other (income) expense.

(2) Acquisitions

    On February 16, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the
    outstanding stock of Delta, a Connecticut corporation for $22,500 in cash,
    of which $500 was to be held in escrow for one year from the date of
    closing. Delta provides high quality engineered bearing seals and other

                                     F-12

                     (In thousands, except per share data)

    precision-molded rubber products to original equipment manufacturers. The
    Company plans to continue the operation of the Delta business, which
    operates a manufacturing facility in Danielson, Connecticut. The excess of
    the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets
    acquired of $14,107 has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on
    a straight-line basis over twenty years.

    Effective July 31, 2000, the Company completed its Euroball transaction.
    Completion of the transaction required the Company to start a majority
    owned stand-alone company in Europe, Euroball, for the manufacture and sale
    of precision steel balls used for ball bearings and other products. The
    Company owns 54% of the shares of Euroball, AB SKF (SKF), a Swedish
    Company, and FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schager AG (FAG), a German Company, own
    23% each. Euroball subsequently acquired the steel ball manufacturing
    facilities located in Pinerolo, Italy (previously owned by SKF), Eltmann,
    Germany (previously owned by FAG) and Kilkenny, Ireland (previously owned
    by the Company). Euroball paid approximately $57,788 for the net assets
    acquired from SKF and FAG. The acquisitions of the Pinerolo, Italy and
    Eltmann, Germany ball manufacturing facilities have been accounted for by
    the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of
    operations of Euroball have been included in the Company's consolidated
    financial statements from July 31, 2000. The excess of the purchase price
    over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired of $15,507 has
    been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a straight-line basis
    over twenty years.

    Under the terms of a Shareholder Agreement between the Company, SKF and
    FAG, at any time after December 31, 2002, SKF and FAG can require the
    Company to purchase their shares of Euroball. The purchase price of the
    shares is to be calculated using a purchase price formula specified in the
    Shareholder Agreement.

    The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the financial
    information as if the Company's Euroball transaction and Delta acquisition
    had occurred on January 1, 2001 and 2000. These proforma results have been
    prepared for comparative purposes and do not purport to be indicative of
    what would have occurred had the acquisitions been made on January 1, 2001
    and 2000, nor is it indicative of future results.

    Effective July 4, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the
    assets and assumed certain liabilities of Earsley Capital Corporation, a
    Nevada corporation and successor to and formerly known as Industrial
    Molding Group, L.P. ("IMC"). IMC, located in Lubbock, Texas, operates as a
    premier full-service designer and manufacturer of precision plastic
    injection molded components. The Company paid consideration of
    approximately $30,000, consisting of $27,500 in cash and

    440 shares of its common stock, for the net assets acquired from IMC. The
    Company has accounted for the IMC acquisition using the purchase method of
    accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of IMC have been
    included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from July 4,
    1999. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net
    identifiable assets acquired of $13,200 has been recorded as goodwill,
    which is being amortized, on a straight-line basis over twenty years.

    The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the financial
    information as if the Company's acquisition of IMC had occurred on January
    1, 1999. This unaudited pro forma summary does not include Euroball or
    Delta. These proforma results have been prepared for comparative purposes
    and do not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the
    acquisition been made on January 1, 1999, nor is it indicative of future
    results.

(3) Restructuring and Impairment Charges

    In September 2001, the Company announced the closure of its Walterboro,
    South Carolina ball manufacturing facility as a part of its ongoing
    strategy to locate manufacturing capacity in closer proximity to its
    customers. This facility is included in the Company's Domestic Ball and
    Roller segment (see Note 10). The closure was substantially completed by
    December 31, 2001.

    Prior to December 31, 2001, production capacity and certain machinery and
    equipment was transferred from the Walterboro facility to the Company's two
    domestic ball facilities in Erwin, Tennessee and Mountain City, Tennessee.
    The plant closing resulted in the termination of approximately 80 full time
    hourly and salaried employees located at the Walterboro facility. The
    Company has recorded restructuring costs of $750 during the year ended
    December 31, 2001 for the severance payments. Additionally, prior to
    December 31, 2001, the Company decided to sell the Walterboro land,
    building and certain machinery. The Company incurred an impairment charge
    of $1,083 during 2001 to write-down the land and building at the Walterboro
    facility to its net realizable value of $1,697, which was based upon fair
    market value appraisals. The amounts the Company will ultimately realize
    upon disposition of these assets could differ materially from the amounts
    assumed in arriving at the 2001 impairment loss. The remaining equipment
    with a historical net book value of $2,656 is also held for sale. The
    Company anticipates selling the land, building and machinery during 2002.
    Approximately $290 of the severance payments were paid in 2001 and the
    remaining is expected to be paid in 2002.

    Accrued restructuring costs of $460 are included in other current
    liabilities as of December 31, 2001. The Company has charged expenses for
    moving machinery, equipment and inventory to

    other production facilities and other costs to close the facility, which
    will benefit future operations in the period they are incurred.

    In addition to this restructuring charge, the Company's Euroball subsidiary
    incurred restructuring charges of $479 for severance payments as a result
    of the termination of 15 hourly employees and 3 salaried employees at its
    Italy production facility. Approximately $426 of the severance payments
    were paid during 2001 and remaining accrued restructuring costs of $53 are
    included in other current liabilities as of December 31, 2001.

    The following summarizes the 2001 restructurings:

        The loan agreement contains restrictive covenants which specify, among
        other things, restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, payment
        of dividends, capital expenditures,
        and the maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company, as of
        December 31, 2001, was in compliance with all such covenants.

        In connection with the Euroball transaction (see Note 2) the Company
        and Euroball, entered into a Facility Agreement with a bank to provide
        up to Euro 36,000 in Term Loans and Euro 5,000 in revolving credit
        loans. The Company borrowed Euro 30,500 ($28,755) under the term loan
        facility and Euro 1,000 ($943) under the revolving credit facility.
        Amounts outstanding under the Facility Agreement are secured by
        inventory and accounts receivable and bear interest at EURIBOR (3.30%
        at December 31, 2001) plus an applicable margin between 1.125% and
        2.25% based upon financial ratios. The shareholders of Euroball have

        contains restrictive covenants, which specify, among other things,
        restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness and the maintenance of
        certain financial ratios. Euroball was in compliance with all such

(10) Stock Incentive Plan

    Effective March 2, 1994, the Company adopted the NN, Inc. Stock Incentive
    Plan under which 1,125 shares of the Company's Common Stock were reserved
    for issuance to officers and key employees of the Company. During 1999 and
    2000, the plan was amended to increase the number of shares available for
    issuance pursuant to awards made under the plan from 1,125 to 1,625. Awards
    or grants under the plan may be made in the form of incentive and
    nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock.
    The stock options and stock appreciation rights must be issued with an
    exercise price not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on
    the date of grant. The awards or grants under the plan may have various
    vesting and expiration periods as determined at the discretion of the
    committee administering the plan.

    A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan as described
    above as of December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, and changes during the years

    On December 7, 1998, the Company granted a total of 20 options to the
    members of its Board of Directors. These options carry an exercise price
    equal to the market price on the date of issuance and vest equally over a
    period of three years, beginning one year from date of grant. The maximum
    term of these options is 10 years. On July 4, 1999, the Company granted an
    additional 20 options to the members of its Board of Directors. These
    options carry an exercise price equal to the market price on the date of
    issuance and vest six months from the date of grant. The maximum term of
    these options is 10 years. On October 10, 2000, the Company granted an
    additional 15 options to the members of its Board of Directors. These
    options carry an exercise price equal to the market price on the date of
    issuance and vest 100% one year from date of grant. The maximum term of
    these options is 10 years. On September 17, 2001, the Company granted an
    additional 50 options to the members of the Board of Directors. These
    options carry an exercise price equal to the market price on the date of
    issuance and vest 100% one year from date of grant. The maximum term of
    these options is 10 years.

    On August 4, 1998 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
    repurchase of up to 740 shares of its Common Stock, equaling 5% of the
    company's issued and outstanding shares as of August 4, 1998. The program
    may be extended or discontinued at any time, and there is no assurance that
    the Company will purchase any or all of the full amount authorized. The
    Company has not repurchased any shares under this program through December
    31, 2001.

    All options granted in the period January 1, 1999 through December 31,
    2001, except those granted to the Company's Board of Directors as described
    above, vest ratably over three years, beginning one year from date of
    grant. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the
    Company's stock on the date of grant, and an option's maximum term is 10
    years. All options granted in the period January 1, 1995 through December
    31, 1998, except those granted to the Company's Board of Directors as
    described above, vest 20%-33% annually beginning one year from date of
    grant. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the
    Company's stock on the date of grant, and an option's maximum term is 10
    years. Certain options granted in July 1999 were deemed to be repriced
    options under the applicable accounting requirements. These options, which
    were fully vested as of the effective date of FASB Interpretation No. 44,
    are treated under variable accounting. Accordingly, compensation expense
    will be recognized, to the extent the market price of the Company's stock
    exceeds $10.50. The Company recognized compensation expense of $108 during
    2001 related to these options.

    The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
    Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123).
    SFAS 123 encourages but does not require a fair value based method of
    accounting for stock compensation plans. The Company has elected to
    continue accounting for its stock compensation plan using the intrinsic
    value based method under APB Opinion No. 25 and, accordingly, has not
    recorded compensation expense for each of the three years ended December
    31, 2001, except as discussed above. Had compensation cost for the
    Company's stock compensation plan been determined based on the fair value
    at the option grant dates, the Company's net income and earnings per share
    would have been reduced to the proforma amounts indicated below:

(11) Segment Information

    The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
    Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," effective with its
    December 31, 1998 reporting and identified its reportable segments based
    upon the geographic location of its business units. During 2001, the
    Company's reportable segments are based on differences in product lines and
    geographic locations and are divided among Domestic Ball and Roller,
    Euroball and Plastics. The Domestic Ball and Roller segment is comprised of
    two manufacturing facilities in the eastern United States. The Euroball
    segment acquired in July 2000, is comprised of manufacturing facilities
    located in Kilkenny, Ireland, Eltmann, Germany and Pinerolo, Italy. All of
    the facilities in the Domestic Ball and Roller and Euroball segments are
    engaged in the production of precision balls and rollers used primarily in
    the bearing industry. The Plastics segment is compromised of five
    facilities: two located in Lubbock, Texas, which represents the IMC
    business acquired in July 1999; two facilities located in Danielson,
    Connecticut, which represents the Delta business acquired in February 2001,
    and one facility located in Guadalajara, Mexico, which represents the

    bearing, automotive, instrumentation, fiber optic and consumer hardware
    markets. Delta manufactures engineered bearing seals used principally in
    automotive, industrial, agricultural, mining and aerospace applications.

    The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
    the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates
    segment performance based on profit or loss from operations after income
    taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses. The Company accounts for
    intersegment sales and transfers at current market prices; however, the
    Company did not have any material intersegment transactions during 2001,
    2000 or 1999.

    Although realization of deferred tax assets is not assured, management
    believes that it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax
    assets will be realized. However, the amount of the deferred tax assets
    considered realizable could be reduced based on changing conditions.

    The Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability for the
    undistributed earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries and non-U.S. corporate
    joint ventures. The Company expects to reinvest these undistributed
    earnings indefinitely and does not expect such earnings to become subject
    to U.S. taxation in the foreseeable future. A deferred tax liability will
    be recognized when the Company expects that it will recover these
    undistributed earnings in a taxable manner, such as through the receipt of
    dividends or sale of the investments. It is not practicable to determine
    the U.S. income tax liability, if any, that would be payable if such
    earnings were not reinvested indefinitely.

    The Kilkenny operation of the Euroball segment has received certain grants

    employment levels. At December 31, 2001, actual employment levels are less
    than those required by certain grant covenants. As of December 31, 2001,
    the Company anticipates the grant agreement and employment level thresholds
    will be adjusted.

    The Euroball segment has entered into certain consignment arrangements with
    Ascometals for the purchase of steel for ball production, whereby the
    Euroball Kilkenny operation maintains steel on a consignment basis for a
    period of up to three months.

    Beginning in January 2003, FAG and SKF may each exercise their right under
    The Shareholders Agreement to cause the Company to purchase their
    respective interest in Euroball based on the Put Formula in the
    Shareholders Agreement. The Company anticipates that if such purchase
    becomes necessary, it may need to borrow additional funds. Because the
    purchase price is based on a formula using Euroball's historical cash flow,
    the exact amount of the put cannot be determined until the put right is
    exercised.

    Fourth quarter results in 2001 include pre-tax charges of $1,405 ($913
    after-tax) related to $1,086 of asset write downs on the Company's
    Walterboro, SC production facility and $319 of NN Arte minority interest
    losses absorbed by the Company. Without these nonrecurring charges, the
    fourth quarter 2001 loss per share would have been ($.01) rather than
    ($.07).

(16) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    Management believes the fair value of financial instruments approximate
    their carrying value due to the short maturity of these instruments or in
    the case of the Company's notes receivable and debt, due to the variable
    interest rates. The following table presents the carrying amounts and
    estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December
    31, 2001 and 2000:

(17) Involuntary Conversion

    On March 12, 2000, a fire damaged a portion of the Company's manufacturing
    plant in Erwin, Tennessee. The fire was contained to approximately 30% of
    the productions area and did not result in serious injury to any employee.
    Affected production was shifted to the Company's other facilities as
    possible as well as the use of other certain suppliers to protect product
    supply to customers. Insurance coverage for the loss provided for
    reimbursement of the replacement value of property and equipment damaged in
    the fire. As of December 31, 2001 the Company has settled the insurance
    claim. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the net gain on
    involuntary conversion of $3,901 and $728, respectively, represents
    insurance proceeds received in excess of costs incurred.

    In connection with the Euroball transaction described in note 2, SKF and
    FAG provided administrative services to Euroball. Charges for these
    services amounted to approximately $2,262 and $1,150 for the years ended
    December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. At December 31, 2001 and 2000,
    amounts payable to SKF and FAG amounted to $1,277 and $1,762, respectively.

    Certain sales agreements are in effect with SKF and FAG, which provide for
    minimum purchase quantities and specified, annual sales price adjustments
    that may be modified up or down for changes in material costs. These
    agreements expire during 2006.

    The Company leases the Eltmann, Germany facility of the Euroball division,
    from FAG. Annual minimum lease payments are Euro 944 ($885). The lease
    expires in 2020.

Note 1.  Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of NN, Inc. (the "Company")
have not been audited by independent accountants, except that the balance sheet
at December 31, 2001 is derived from the Company's audited financial
statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, the financial
statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of
operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the
Company's financial position at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, and the
cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. These
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for fair presentation of the financial position and
operating results for the interim periods.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The results for the first quarter of 2002 are not necessarily indicative of
future results.

Certain 2001 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2002
presentation.

Note 2.  Derivate Financial Instruments

The Company has an interest rate swap accounted for in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", effective January 1, 2001. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001, which establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities.
The Standard requires the recognition of all derivative instruments on the
balance sheet at fair value. The Standard allows for hedge accounting if
certain requirements are met including documentation of the hedging
relationship at inception and upon adoption of the Standard.

In connection with a variable Euribor rate debt financing in July 2000 the
Company's 54% owned subsidiary, Euroball entered into an interest rate swap
with a notional amount of Euro 12.5 million for the purpose of fixing the
interest rate on a portion of its debt financing. The interest rate swap
provides for the Company to receive variable Euribor interest payments and pay
5.51% fixed interest. The interest rate swap agreement expires in July 2006 and
the notional amount amortizes in relation to initially established principal
payments on the underlying debt over the life of the swap.

As of March 31, 2002, the fair value of the swap is a loss of approximately
$312, which is recorded in other non-current liabilities. The change in fair
value during the three month period ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 was a gain of
approximately $56 and a loss of approximately $48, respectively, which have
been included as a component of other income.

Note 3.  Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is being determined
using the first-in, first-out method.

Note 6.  Acquisitions and Joint Ventures

On February 16, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the
outstanding stock of Delta, a Connecticut corporation for $22.5 million in
cash. Delta manufactures and sells high quality engineered bearing seals to
original equipment manufacturers and operates a manufacturing facility in
Danielson, Connecticut. The Company has accounted for this acquisition using
the purchase method of accounting.

Note 7.  Restructuring Charges

In September of 2001, the Company announced that it would close its Walterboro,
South Carolina ball manufacturing facility as part of its ongoing strategy to
locate manufacturing capacity in closer proximity to customers. The closure was
substantially completed by December 31, 2001. Current plans are to sell the
land and building. The plant closing resulted in the termination of
approximately 80 full time hourly and salaried employees in 2001.

Prior to December 31, 2001, production capacity and certain machinery and
equipment were transferred from the Walterboro facility to the Company's two
domestic ball facilities in Erwin, Tennessee and Mountain City, Tennessee. The
Company has recorded restructuring costs of $62 for additional severance
payments during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Additionally, prior to
December 31, 2001, the Company decided to sell the Walterboro land, building
and certain machinery and incurred an impairment charge of approximately $1.1
million during 2001 to write down the land and building to its net realizable
value of approximately $1.7 million, which was based upon fair market
appraisals less costs to sell. The amounts the Company will ultimately realize
upon disposition of these assets could differ materially from the amounts
assumed in arriving at the 2001 impairment loss. The remaining equipment
recorded at a historical net book value of $2.2 million is also held for sale.
The Company anticipates selling the land, building and machinery during 2002.

Accrued restructuring costs of $114 are included in other current liabilities
as of March 31, 2002. The Company has charged expenses for moving machinery,
equipment and inventory to other

production facilities and other costs to close the facility which will benefit
future operations in the period they are incurred.

The Company's Euroball subsidiary incurred restructuring charges of $16 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2002 for additional severance payments as a result of
the termination of 15 hourly employees and 3 salaried employees at its Italy
production facility. Approximately $69 of the severance payments were paid
during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 and there are no remaining accrued
restructuring costs included in other current liabilities as of March 31, 2002
related to Euroball.

Note 8.  New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations"
(Statement No. 141), and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (Statement No. 142). Statement No. 141
requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement No. 141 also specifies
criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business
combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill.
Statement No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives no longer be amortized, but rather, periodically tested for
impairment. The effective date of Statement No. 142 is January 1, 2002. As of
the date of adoption, the Company had unamortized goodwill of approximately
$39.8 million, which is subject to the provisions of Statement No. 142.

As a result of adopting these standards in the first quarter of 2002, the
Company no longer amortizes goodwill. The Company estimates that amortization
expense for goodwill would have been approximately $2.1 million (or $1.2
million net of tax and minority interest) for the year ended December 31, 2002.

As a result of adopting these new standards, the Company's accounting policies
for goodwill and other intangibles changed on January 1, 2002, as described
below:

Goodwill:  The Company recognizes the excess of the purchase price of an
acquired entity over the fair value of the net identifiable assets as goodwill.
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests
in certain circumstances. Impairment losses are recognized whenever the implied
fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value. Prior to January 1,
2002, goodwill was amortized over a twenty-year period using the straight-line
method. Beginning January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized.

                                     F-37

                     (In thousands, except per share data)


Other Acquired Intangibles:  The Company recognizes an acquired intangible
asset apart from goodwill whenever the asset arises from contractual or other
legal rights, or whenever it is capable of being divided or separated from the
acquired entity or sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, whether
individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. An
intangible asset other than goodwill is amortized over its estimated useful
life unless that life is determined to be indefinite. The Company will review
the lives of intangible assets each reporting period and, if necessary,
recognize impairment losses if the carrying amount of an intangible asset
subject to amortization is not recoverable from expected future cash flows and
its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of Statement No. 142
related to the transitional goodwill impairment review required by the new
standards during the first six months after adoption.

The table below describes the impact of the amortization of goodwill for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001:

In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
143, "Accounting For Asset Retirement Obligations." This Statement requires
capitalizing any retirement costs as part of the total cost of the related
long-lived asset and subsequently allocating the total expense to future
periods using a systematic and rational method. Adoption of this Statement is
required for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of adoption of Statement No. 143.

In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
144, "Accounting For The Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets." This
Statement supercedes Statement No. 121 but retains many of its fundamental
provisions. Additionally, this Statement expands the scope of discontinued
operations to include more disposal transactions. The provisions of this
Statement are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. The

Company has adopted Statement No. 144 effective January 1, 2002. Management
believes that as of March 31, 2002 no asset impairment exists under the
provisions of Statement No. 144.

Note 9.  Long-Term Debt

On July 20, 2001, the Company entered into a syndicated loan agreement with
AmSouth Bank ("AmSouth"), as the administrative agent for the lenders, for a
senior non-secured revolving credit facility of up to $25 million, expiring on
July 25, 2003 and a senior non-secured term loan for $35 million expiring on
July 1, 2006. This credit facility replaces the $25 million revolving credit
facility that was temporarily extended and restated in February of 2001 to $50
million and the additional $2 million of availability extended in March of
2001. Amounts outstanding under the revolving facility and the term loan
facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR (1.88% at March 31,
2002) plus an applicable margin of 0.75% to 2.00% based upon calculated
financial ratios. The loan agreement contains customary financial and
non-financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants
as of March 31, 2002.

In connection with the Euroball transaction the Company and Euroball, entered
into a Facility Agreement with a bank to provide up to Euro 36 million in Term
Loans and Euro 5 million in revolving credit loans. The Company borrowed Euro
30.5 million ($28,755) under the term loan facility and Euro 1 million ($943)
under the revolving credit facility. Amounts outstanding under the Facility
Agreement are secured by inventory and accounts receivable and bear interest at
EURIBOR (3.36% at March 31, 2002) plus an applicable margin between 1.125% and
2.25% based upon financial ratios. The shareholders of Euroball have provided
guarantees for the Facility Agreement. The Facility Agreement contains
restrictive covenants, which specify, among other things, restrictions on the
incurrence of indebtedness and the maintenance of certain financial ratios.
Euroball was in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2002.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

    The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with certain
officers and directors of the Company. Under these agreements, the Company
agrees to hold harmless and indemnify each indemnitee generally to the full
extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL") and against any and all liabilities, expenses, judgments, fines,
penalties and costs in connection with any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative to which the indemnitee is made a party by reason of the fact
that the indemnitee has, is or at the time becomes a director or officer of the
Company or any other entity at the request of the Company.

    Section 145 permits a corporation to indemnify certain persons, including
officers and directors, who are (or are threatened to be made) parties to any
threatened, pending or completed legal action (whether civil, criminal,
threatened or investigative) for reason of their being officers or directors.
The indemnity may include expenses, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
reasonably incurred costs of settlement, provided the officer and director
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the corporation's best interest and, in the case of criminal
proceedings, he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
illegal. The corporation may indemnify officers and directors in derivative
actions (in which suit is brought by a shareholder on behalf of the
corporation) under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is judged liable
for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation.
If the officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense
of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the
expenses and attorneys' fees he actually and reasonably incurred.

    The Company has obtained liability insurance coverage for its officers and
directors with respect to actions arising out of the performance of such
officer's or director's duty in his or her capacity as such.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

    (a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

    (b) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that:

        (i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
    of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
    13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
    applicable, each of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
    Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated
    by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
    registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
    offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
    bona fide offering thereof.

        (ii) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
    of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
    of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
    a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
    (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
    registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

        (iii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
    Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
    prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
    the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
    time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                                     II-4
