             Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial
                    Measures Financial Information

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Electroglas also
discloses non-GAAP results of operations that exclude certain charges,
or one-time gains or benefits. Electroglas reports non-GAAP results in
order to better assess and reflect operating performance. These
results are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance
with GAAP. Management believes the non-GAAP measure helps indicate
underlying trends in Electroglas' business, and management uses
non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals. Non-GAAP information
is not determined using GAAP and should not be considered superior to
or as a substitute for GAAP measures or data prepared in accordance
with GAAP.
