INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Benefits Committee
Twin Disc, Incorporated –
  The Accelerator 401(k) Savings Plan
Racine, Wisconsin

     We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Twin Disc, Incorporated - The Accelerator 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits and supplemental schedule for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

     Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes – December 31, 2006, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

     General

     The following brief description of the Twin Disc, Incorporated – The Accelerator 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. The Plan, established April 1, 1986, is a defined-contribution plan covering substantially all Twin Disc, Incorporated (the “Company”) domestic employees and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

     Eligibility

     An employee of the Company is eligible for plan participation after completing two months of employment.

     Contributions

     Participants may elect to contribute on a pre-tax basis up to 100% of annual gross income with contributions limited under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

     For participants who are employed by Twin Disc, Inc., the Company contributes an amount equal to a percentage of each participant’s 401(k) contributions, up to 6% of compensation. The contribution percentages for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was 50%. For participants who are employed by the Twin Disc South East subsidiary, the Company contributes a matching contribution equal to 25% of each participant’s 401(k) contributions, up to 6% of compensation, and a profit sharing contribution equal to 2.5% of each participant’s compensation. The Internal Revenue Code has set a maximum of $15,000 and $14,000 for tax-deferred contributions that may be excluded for any individual participant in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Internal Revenue Code also allows additional catch-up contributions for participants age fifty and over. The maximum additional contribution allowed was $5,000 and $4,000 in 2006 and 2005, respectively. No federal income tax is paid on the tax-deferred contributions and growth thereon until the participant withdraws them from the Plan.

     The Plan enables participants to allocate their contributions and account balances among various investment options offered by the Plan. Assets of the Plan are segregated and invested based upon the total allocation of the participants’ accounts. Participants may direct such allocations in any whole percentage increment and allocations can be changed at any time.

     Vesting

     Participants are immediately 100% vested in their individual account balances.

     Withdrawals

     After-tax contributions may be withdrawn at any time upon receipt of written notice by the Trustee. Pre-tax contributions may only be withdrawn, prior to employment termination, in the event of severe financial hardship or once annually upon attainment of age 59½. A final distribution is paid to the participant upon termination of employment with the Company. Final distributions in excess of $5,000 may be deferred as elected by the participant until age 70 ½.

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

     Investment Valuation

     Investments of the Plan are stated at fair value. The values of investments in mutual funds and common stocks are determined by the last reported market price on the last business day of the year. Investments in collective trust funds, other than the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Common Trust Fund (see below), are valued at redemption prices established by the trustee of the funds based on the quoted market prices of the underlying investments. Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair value. The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets, the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is recognized when earned.

     The fair value of the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Common Trust Fund is determined by T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. The collective trust fund invests in short-term and long-term conventional and synthetic investment contracts issued by insurance companies and other institutions that meet the high credit quality standards established by T. Rowe Price. There is an adjustment made on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits to adjust the investment contracts from fair value to contract value (which represents contributions received, plus interest, less plan withdrawals).

The Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

6. Party-in-Interest Transactions

     Transactions involving employer securities, funds administered by T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc., the current trustee and recordkeeper of the Plan, and participant loans are considered party-in-interest transactions. These transactions are not, however, considered prohibited transactions under 29 CFR 408(b) of the ERISA regulations.

7. Amounts Allocated to Withdrawn Participants

     Plan assets of $10,805,445 and $10,100,943 have been allocated to the accounts of persons who are no longer active participants of the Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, but who have not yet received distributions as of that date.

8. Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting periods. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

9. Risks and Uncertainties

     The Plan’s investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the values of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

10. Subsequent Events

     In February 2007, the Company made a one-time discretionary match contribution to all Racine active Twin Disc, Incorporated employees as of December 31, 2006 and to Racine Twin Disc, Incorporated employees who retired during 2006 that participated and contributed to the Plan during 2006. The amount of the contribution was based on the employee’s payroll during for 2006.

     Effective January 2007, the Company has amended the Plan to allow Roth after-tax employee contributions. Roth contributions are made by employees with after-tax dollars. Federal income tax is paid on the Roth contributions when made to the Plan. A qualified distribution from the Roth component, including any earnings received from the investment of Roth contributions, is tax-free to the participant if taken five years after the year of the first Roth contribution and if the participant has reached the age of 591/2, become totally disabled, or deceased. If the distribution is not qualified, any withdrawal from the account will be partially taxable to the participant.
