    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.
