<p align="justify"><font size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is the "Whitaker Group's" desire that General Bearing Corp (GNRL) be operated now as a public company after the ill-fated attempt to go private. The rewards from years of hard work by the management and large investments by the corporation in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) seem to be on the verge of coming to fruition and should accrue to all holders of GNRL in the Whitaker Group opinion.
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;In addition the Whitaker Group would be encouraged if GNRL could intitiate a small dividend policy for the added benefit of all holders. The Federal Tax Code change of January 1, 2003 with the top rate for dividends of 15% encourages such actions for companies with stable earning propects. The improved financial stability and earnings capability of GNRL would allow such a decision assuming loan covenants and future eanings permit. This would definitely be a tangible reward for all the patient holders of the GNRL stock since it was initially offered to the public in 1997 at $7/share. In 1997 the book value per share was less than $1 and now is over $6/share. This is a prime example of the progress that has been made in the last seven years and should now be filtered down to the people that took the risk.
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;
<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Whitakers will of course re-evaluate their options which may include the purchase of additional securities of GNRL or disposal of some of all of the securities they presently own depending upon price, market conditions, availability of funds and other considerations.</font></p>
