Upon the closing of the Offer, the Purchaser will be owned by the Continuing
Stockholders.

      Unless otherwise stated below, the information set forth in the Offer to

that is not included or covered by the items in Schedule TO. You should read
this Amendment together with the Schedule TO we filed on July 16, 2004, as
amended on August 9, 2004.

                               SUMMARY TERM SHEET

      The section titled "Summary Term Sheet" is hereby supplemented by:

(1) inserting the following sentence after the third sentence in the second to
last bullet point on page 3, after the second to last sentence of the last full
paragraph of the section titled "Introduction" on page 16, after the second
sentence of the last paragraph of section 7 "The Offer--Certain Information
Concerning General Bearing" on page 52, and after the third sentence in the last
paragraph of the Section 8 "The Offer--Certain Information Concerning the
Continuing Stockholders and the Purchaser" on page 56:

"As of July 14, 2004, Peter Barotz, Ronald Fetzer and Barbara Henagen, each
directors of General Bearing who are not Continuing Stockholders, are the
beneficial owners of 5,000 (of which all 5,000 are Shares issuable upon the
exercise of vested options), 15,000 (of which 5,000 are Shares issuable upon the
exercise of vested options), and 3,250 (of which 1,250 are Shares issuable upon
the exercise of vested options) Shares, respectively, and William Kurtz is the
beneficial owner of 17,500 Shares (of which 17,300 are Shares issuable upon the
exercise of vested options)."

(2) inserting the following bullet points before the last paragraph before the
section titled "Questions and Answers About the Tender Offer" on page 5:

"o The principal advantages of the Offer and the Merger to stockholders and
General Bearing are:

      (o)   Stockholders will have immediate liquidity for their Shares at a
            premium to trading prices prior to the announcement of the
            Purchaser's interest in taking General Bearing private;

      (o)   General Bearing's stock price and trading volume are unlikely to
            improve in the future;

      (o)   Stockholders would not have to bear the risk of any decline in the
            value of General Bearing;

      (o)   The reduction in the amount of public information available to
            competitors about General Bearing's business that would result from
            the termination of General Bearing's obligations under the SEC's
            periodic reporting requirements pursuant to the Exchange Act; and

      (o)   The elimination of the additional burdens on management associated
            with public reporting and other tasks resulting from General
            Bearing's public company status, including, for example, the
            dedication of time and resources by General Bearing's management and
            Board of Directors necessary to respond to stockholder and analyst
            inquiries and maintain investor and public relations.

<PAGE>

      See "Special Factors--Reasons for and Purpose of the Offer and the Merger"
and Section 14 "The Offer--Certain Effects of the Offer".

"o The principal disadvantages of the Offer and the Merger to stockholders and
General Bearing are:

      (o)   Stockholders will no longer have the opportunity to participate in
            the future earnings, profits and growth of General Bearing and will
            not have the right to vote on corporate matters relating to General
            Bearing;

      (o)   General Bearing's common stock may cease to be quoted on The Nasdaq
            SmallCap Market, which could adversely affect the market for the
            Shares;

      (o)   General Bearing may cause the Shares to be terminated from
            registration under the Exchange Act, which would reduce the amount
            of public information available concerning General Bearing, the
            Shares would no longer be eligible for quotation on Nasdaq or for
            continued inclusion on the Federal Reserve Board's list of "margin
            securities";

      (o)   General Bearing may lose access to future capital; and

      (o)   General Bearing may not be able to use securities as an effective
            incentive to obtain and retain employees of General Bearing or as
            acquisition consideration.

      See "Special Factors--Reasons for and Purpose of the Offer and the Merger"
and Section 14 "The Offer--Certain Effects of the Offer".

"o The interests of the Purchaser and the Continuing Stockholders in the Offer
and the Merger are:

      (o)   If the Offer and the Merger are completed, the Continuing
            Stockholders in the aggregate will own 100% of the Shares, will own
            in the aggregate a 100% interest in the net book value and net
            earnings of General Bearing and will benefit from any increase in
            the value of General Bearing as well as bear the burden of any
            decrease in the value of General Bearing;

      (o)   The Continuing Stockholders will have the complete power to control
            the Company;

      (o)   Seymour Gussack, David Gussack and Nina Gussack will remain
            directors of General Bearing following completion of the Offer and
            the Merger; and

      (o)   If the Merger occurs, the Continuing Stockholders will receive
            $138,500 in the aggregate for Shares underlying vested options.

      See "Special Factors--Conflicts of Interest" and Section 14 "The
Offer--Certain Effects of the Offer".

ITEM 4. TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION.

            Section (a)(1)(xii) of Item 4 is hereby amended and restated the
            following:

            (1) by amending and restating all references to the section "The
            Offer--Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Offer" by the
            following:

            "The Offer--Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Offer".

            (2) by replacing the word "certain" with the word "material" in the
            first sentence of the first paragraph of the amended section titled
            "The Offer--Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Offer"
            on page 48.

ITEM 12. EXHIBITS.

            Item 12 is hereby supplemented by including the following exhibit:

(b)(3)      Financing Proposal, dated May 24, 2004 by Keybank, N.A.

<PAGE>

ITEM 13. INFORMATION REQUIRED BY SCHEDULE 13E-3.

ITEM 5. PAST CONTACTS, TRANSACTIONS, NEGOTIATIONS AND AGREEMENTS.

            Item 5 is hereby supplemented by inserting after "certain of the
            Continuing Stockholders" in the second to last paragraph of the
            section "Special Factors--Conflicts of Interest" the following:

            ", specifically Seymour Gussack, David Gussack and Nina Gussack."

ITEM 6. PURPOSES OF THE TRANSACTION AND PLANS OR PROPOSALS.

(a) and (b) Sections (a) and (b) of Item 6 is hereby amended and restated by
            the following:

            (1) by inserting the following sentences at the end of the second to
            last paragraph above the section "Special Factors--Purchaser's Plan
            for General Bearing" on page 32:

            The decision not to seek a report, opinion or appraisal from an
            outside party relating the consideration of fairness of the Offer
            poses certain risks to stockholders determining whether to tender
            their Shares. In particular, stockholders would not have the benefit
            of having an independent analysis of the Offer Price performed by a
            party that does not have conflicts of interest in the transaction,
            such as those described in "Special Factors--Conflicts of
            Interest"."

            (2) by inserting the following sentence after the first sentence of
            the second paragraph on page 33:

            "Whether the Purchaser determines that such a purchase would be
            financially prudent will be based on the Purchaser's consideration
            of: (i) the number and percentage of Shares actually tendered, (ii)
            the Purchaser's ability to obtain financing for the purchase of
            tendered Shares even though the Purchaser and the Continuing
            Stockholders ownership of less than 90% of the outstanding shares
            will preclude having the assets of General Bearing secure such
            financing, (iii) the Purchaser's perception of the costs and burdens
            of there being a minority stock ownership in General Bearing, and
            (iv) whether the financial resources and liquidity of the Continuing
            Stockholders support the ability to make such a purchase."

ITEM 7. PURPOSES, ALTERNATIVES, REASONS AND EFFECTS.

(b) and (c) Sections (b) and (c) of Item 7 are hereby amended and restated to
            the following:

            (1) by inserting the following sentence after the third sentence of
            the last paragraph that begins on page 21:

            "In particular, the business conditions which led to the expectation
            of the need for increased debt included the need to build inventory
            to support expected sales to a new, large customer; the need to
            acquire control of Shanghai General Bearing Co. Ltd. ("SGBC"), one
            of General Bearing's Chinese joint ventures in order to gain control
            over manufacturing and quality of General Bearing's products, which
            would require an additional investment of $3.0 million; and General
            Bearing's interest in purchasing its partner's share of NN General,
            LLC., another joint venture, which holds General Bearing's interest
            in Jiangsu General Ball & Roller Co., Ltd. ("JGBR"), another Chinese
            joint venture, which would require an additional investment of
            approximately $3.9 million."

            (2) by inserting after the second paragraph under the caption
            "Summary of Present Going Private Effort" on page 22 the following
            paragraph:

            "The Purchaser chose to pursue the Offer as soon as possible after
            it was believed that General Bearing's debt levels were low enough
            to permit the additional financing for the Offer and the Merger. The
            Purchaser did not believe that it was feasible to commence an offer
            prior to such time due to higher debt levels which would have
            impeded the Purchaser's ability to obtain the necessary additional
            financing. Additionally, the Purchaser did not want to delay any
            longer the commencement of the Offer because (i) the several
            benefits of the transaction were of immediate value in light of
            General Bearing's current financial position and were realizable
            immediately upon ceasing to be a publicly-held company; (ii) the
            longer General Bearing remained publicly-held, additional accounting
            and related costs would be incurred to comply with the requirements
            of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules promulgated thereunder; and
            (iii) the Purchaser believed that it was in the best interests of
            General Bearing and its stockholders to effect the transaction as
            soon as possible."

<PAGE>

            (3) the second paragraph under the caption "Summary of Present Going
            Private Effort" on page 22 is amended and restated by the following:

            "For a period of approximately two months prior to the Purchaser's
            announcement of its intention to take General Bearing private
            through a tender offer, the Purchaser consulted informally with a
            few financial advisors in order to assess the alternative means of
            taking the Company private. In particular, on November 25, 2003, the
            Purchaser met with representatives of PanAmerican Capital Partners,
            LLC. ("PanAm") and met with BNP Paribas ("BNP") on February 6, 2004.
            In addition, during this time several meetings occurred between the
            Purchaser and Keybank which were limited to the financing of the
            Offer and the continued financing of General Bearing.

            The Purchaser explored various alternatives with PanAm and BNP
            including having an unrelated party make the tender offer and
            becoming a stockholder of General Bearing; and having a third party
            finance the Purchaser's tender offer with "mezzanine" financing. In
            addition, the Purchaser considered having General Bearing making a
            tender offer. The Purchaser ultimately determined that the present
            Offer was the most viable means to take the Company private and
            maximize the value to be received by the stockholders for the
            following reasons: (i) a tender offer by General Bearing would have
            required additional transaction costs; (ii) General Bearing was not
            aware of any unrelated parties interested in making a tender offer
            and becoming a shareholder of the Company, and it was believed that
            the associated costs and burdens to General Bearing would have been
            greater than those in connection with the present Offer; (iii) it
            was believed that mezzanine financing by an entity other than
            Keybank would have been more costly than having Keybank finance the
            present offer as a result of General Bearing's inability to grant a
            mezzanine lender a first lien on the Company's assets.

            Based on its assessment of these discussions, the Purchaser decided
            that either a tender offer followed by a short-form merger or a
            long-form merger would be the most effective and efficient means of
            taking the Company private. Ultimately, the Purchaser determined
            that the present Offer was the most viable means to take the Company
            private and maximize the value to be received by the public
            stockholders. The Purchaser has not retained a financial advisor in
            connection with the Offer.

            The Purchaser formed the group of Continuing Stockholders based
            primarily on membership in the Gussack family, which holds a
            majority interest in the Company. Thomas J. Uhlig and Joseph J.C.
            Hoo, President and the Vice President, Advanced Technology and China
            Affairs of General Bearing, respectively, became Continuing
            Stockholders as they expressed an interest in being part of the
            buying group. No other officers of the Company expressed such
            interest. Aside from Seymour Gussack and David Gussack, no other
            Continuing Stockholder participated in the structuring of the Offer
            or the Merger."

            (4) by inserting the following sentence after the first sentence in
            the second to last paragraph above the caption "Events Since the
            Announcement of the Potential Offer" on page 23:

            "During these discussions, the Purchaser was advised that average
            premiums paid over market prices in other going private transactions
            were believed to be in the range of 20% - 30%."

            (5) by amending and restating in its entirety the last paragraph
            before the section "Reasons For and Purpose of the Offer and the
            Merger" on page 24 by the following:

            "Following the Purchaser's indication that it was raising the Offer
            Price, at a meeting held on July 14, 2004, the entire Board of
            Directors, including the directors who are not Continuing
            Stockholders, voted unanimously to remain neutral with respect to
            the Offer. The Board determined to take this course of action with
            respect to the Offer due to the fact that it has been structured by
            the Purchaser in a manner that follows the fairness steps recently
            outlined by the courts of the State of Delaware in cases such as In
            re Pure Resources, Inc. Shareholders Litigation, which steps the
            Delaware courts have reasoned are designed to protect the interests
            of minority stockholders: (i) the Offer is structured as a tender
            offer, which gives the stockholders the option of whether to
            participate, (ii) the Offer includes an unwaiveable Majority of the
            Minority Condition, which ensures that the transaction will not be
            consummated unless a majority of the minority stockholders tender
            their Shares and (iii) the Offer includes the Minimum Tender
            Condition and a promise to effect promptly the Merger if the Minimum
            Tender Condition is satisfied."

            (6) by amending and restating the third bullet point on page 25 by
            the following:

            "o Public capital market trends affecting companies of similar size
            to General Bearing, including the Purchaser's belief that the trends
            indicate that: (i) small companies with small amounts of publicly
            owned shares have been unable to issue additional stock as a means
            of raising capital; and (ii) the common stock of many smaller
            companies has struggled to gain greater market acceptance and
            analyst coverage;"

<PAGE>

(d)         Section (d) of Item 7 is hereby amended and restated by the
            following:

            (1) by amending and restating in its entirety the first paragraph in
            the section titled "The Offer--Certain Effects of the Offer" with
            following:

            "If you tender your Shares in the Offer, you will not have the
            opportunity to participate in the future earnings, profits and
            growth of General Bearing and will not have the right to vote on
            corporate matters relating to General Bearing. If the Offer and the
            Merger are completed, the Continuing Stockholders will own in the
            aggregate a 100% interest in the net book value and net earnings of
            General Bearing and that each such Continuing Stockholder will own
            an interest in the net book value and net earnings of General
            Bearing in proportion to such Continuing Stockholder's security
            ownership. Further, the Continuing Stockholders will benefit from
            any future increase in the value of General Bearing. Similarly, the
            Continuing Stockholders will bear the risk of any decrease in the
            value of General Bearing and you will not face the risk of a decline
            in the value of General Bearing."

            (2) by inserting after the paragraph captioned "Exchange Act
            Registration" on page 66 the following paragraph:

            "Federal Income Tax. If the Offer is completed, whether or not the
            Merger is completed, neither General Bearing nor the Purchaser will
            recognize any taxable income as a result of the Offer or Merger."

ITEM 8. FAIRNESS OF THE TRANSACTION.

(a) and (b) Sections (a) and (b) of Item 8 are hereby amended and restated by
            the following:

            (1) by amending and restating the first paragraph under the section
            "Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Offer and
            the Merger" by the following:

            "At a meeting held on July 14, 2004, in accordance with Rule 14e-2
            of the Exchange Act, the entire Board of Directors, including the
            directors who are not Continuing Stockholders, unanimously
            determined to remain neutral on whether the stockholders should
            accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer. The
            Board determined to take this course of action with respect to the
            Offer due to the fact that it has been structured by the Purchaser
            in a manner that follows the fairness steps recently outlined by the
            courts of the State of Delaware in cases such as In re Pure
            Resources, Inc. Shareholders Litigation, which steps the Delaware
            courts have reasoned are designed to protect the interests of
            minority stockholders: (i) the Offer is structured as a tender
            offer, which gives the stockholders the option of whether to
            participate, (ii) the Offer includes an unwaiveable Majority of the
            Minority Condition, which ensures that the transaction will not be
            consummated unless a majority of the minority stockholders tender
            their Shares and (iii) the Offer includes the Minimum Tender
            Condition and a promise to effect promptly the Merger if the Minimum
            Tender Condition is satisfied."

            (2) by amending and restating the second to last bullet point on
            page 29 in the section "The Purchaser's, Seymour Gussack's and David
            Gussack's Position Regarding the Fairness of the Offer and the
            Merger by the following:

            "o The Purchaser, Seymour Gussack and David Gussack believe the
            Offer Price to be fair considering General Bearing's current
            financial performance, profitability and uncertain growth prospects.
            The Purchaser, Seymour Gussack and David Gussack do not believe that
            the current financial performance and profitability are materially
            different than the results for fiscal year 2003 such that they would
            result in a change in the market price for the Company's stock. In
            addition, the risk factors and uncertainties identified herein
            represent factors which could materially limit the Company's growth
            and profitability. As a result, the Purchaser, Seymour Gussack and
            David Gussack believe the fair value of the stock to be
            approximately $3.04 (the market price of General Bearing's common
            stock immediately preceding the April 28, 2004 announcement of the
            Purchaser's interest in taking General Bearing private) and
            therefore believe that the $4.00 offer, which represents a 32%
            premium to such pre-announcement price, is substantively fair;

            o The Offer and the Merger would shift the risk of the future
            financial performance of General Bearing from the public
            stockholders, who do not have the power to control decisions made as
            to General Bearing's business, entirely to the Continuing
            Stockholders, who would have the power to control General Bearing's
            business and have the resources to manage and bear the risks
            inherent in the business over the long term;"

            (3) by inserting the following sentences after the second sentence
            in the second paragraph after the first bullet point on page 30:

<PAGE>

            "Specifically, the Purchaser, Seymour Gussack and David Gussack do
            not believe that the calculation of net book value reflects such
            trends, risks and uncertainties described in such Company reports
            whereas the market price of General Bearing's common stock may
            reflect such trends, risks and uncertainties. Further, the
            Purchaser, Seymour Gussack and David Gussack believe that
            liquidation value was not relevant to this transaction because there
            was no plan of liquidation. Therefore, the Purchaser, Seymour
            Gussack and David Gussack believe that market value best reflected
            the fair value of General Bearing's common stock , and as a result
            of this belief, the Purchaser, Seymour Gussack and David Gussack do
            not believe that going concern value was material to its
            determination of the fairness of the Offer."

            (4) by amending and restating the last bullet point of the section
            "Special Factors--The Purchaser's, Seymour Gussack's and David
            Gussack's Position Regarding the Fairness of the Offer and the
            Merger" on page 32 by the following:

            "o The absence of an independent special committee, the absence of a
            fairness opinion and the fact that a majority of the directors who
            are not employees of General Bearing did not retain an unaffiliated
            representative to act solely on behalf of stockholders unaffiliated
            with the Continuing Stockholders."

            (5) by inserting the following after the phrase "in the context of
            General Bearing's financial position" in the last sentence of the
            third to last paragraph in the section "Special Factors--The
            Purchaser's, Seymour Gussack's and David Gussack's Position
            Regarding the Fairness of the Offer and the Merger" on page 32:

            "and the belief of the Purchaser, Seymour Gussack and David Gussack
            that individual stockholders are best able to determine for
            themselves whether to tender their Shares and obtain cash in the
            Offer,"

            (6) by inserting the following paragraph before the third to last
            paragraph paragraph in the section "Special Factors--The
            Purchaser's, Seymour Gussack's and David Gussack's Position
            Regarding the Fairness of the Offer and the Merger" on page 32:

            "The Purchaser, Seymour Gussack and David Gussack believe that the
            current trading prices of General Bearing's common stock should not
            impact the substantive fairness of the Offer because they believe
            that the price of General Bearing's common stock increased after the
            April 28, 2004 announcement of the Purchaser's interest in taking
            General Bearing private as a result of a small number of buyers of
            General Bearing's common stock attempting to take advantage of
            arbitrage opportunities in the time period since the April 28
            announcement. In addition, the Purchaser, Seymour Gussack and David
            Gussack believe that because General Bearing's common stock is
            thinly traded, the price of the common stock can increase
            substantially in response to a small number of purchases, which is
            in fact what has occurred in recent weeks. Accordingly, the
            Purchaser, Seymour Gussack and David Gussack believe that the price
            of General Bearing's common stock has not accurately reflected the
            fair value of General Bearing's common stock since the announcement
            of the commencement of the Offer."

(c)         Section (c) of Item 8 is hereby amended and restated by the
            following:

            (1) by deleting the words "or threatened" in subparagraphs (a) and
            (c), the words "or indirectly" in subparagraph (a), and the words
            "or might" in subparagraph (b) of the section titled "The
            Offer--Certain Conditions of the Offer" on page 61.

            (2) by inserting the word "either" before the words "General
            Bearing" and the words "or the Purchaser" after the words "General
            Bearing" in the last paragraph of the section titled The
            Offer--Certain Conditions of the Offer" on page 62.

ITEM 11. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY.

(a)         Section (a) of Item 11 is hereby amended and restated by the
            following:
