<p align="justify"><font size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The "Whitaker Group" was made aware on April 28, 2004 of an intent by majority owners to take General Bearing Corportaion (GNRL) private at a price that appeared substantially undervalued to our perceived true value of GNRL. In 2001, the majority owners unsuccessfully attempted to acquire minority interests at $6.50. Since 2001, it is the "Whitaker Group" opinion that GNRL is in a much better financial condition than it was in 2001. Pursuant to the pending tender offer at $4, the "Whitaker Group" sent the following letter to Secretary of General Bearing dated 7/28/04.
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;

<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Dear Sir:
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law relating to the rights of dissenting stockholders in Section 262, I hereby wish to declare that the shares I represent as a beneficial holder be appraised under the current statue of Delaware law.
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;It is my opinion that the price being offered in the going private transaction is a disgrace to corporate democracy since the company is doing so much better than when it came public in 1997 at $7/sh and the price currently being offered in the tender due to initially expire ($4) is totally inadequate.
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;I am personally a beneficial holder as of this date, 175,344 shares and Don C. Whitaker, Inc. is the beneficial holder of 13,000 shares. As I am certain you can calculate that totals 188,344 shares which is approximately 4.99% of the total outstanding shares of GNRL.
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Sincerely,
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;
