MULLIGAN Secretary November 3, 2000 4 KRUG INTERNATIONAL CORP. 900 CIRCLE 75 PARKWAY, SUITE 1300 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30339 ------------ PROXY STATEMENT FOR 2000 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS ------------ This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of KRUG INTERNATIONAL CORP., an Ohio corporation (the "Corporation"), of proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Friday, December 1, 2000 and any adjournment thereof. The close of business on October 26, 2000 has been fixed as the record date for the determination of the holders of Common Shares entitled to vote at the meeting and each such shareholder is entitled to one vote per share. There were 4,976,340 Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on October 26, 2000. All shares represented by properly executed proxies received by the Board of Directors pursuant to this solicitation will be voted in accordance with the shareholder's directions specified on the proxy. If no directions have been specified by marking the appropriate places on the accompanying proxy card, the shares will be voted in accordance with the Board's recommendations which are FOR the election of James J. Mulligan, Ronald J. Vannuki and Dr. Steven Baileys, as directors of the Corporation for a one-year term and FOR the election of Karen B. Brenner, C. Michael Ford, Robert M. Thornton, Jr. and Howard E. Turner, as directors of the Corporation for a two-year term. A shareholder signing and returning the accompanying proxy has power to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise by delivering to the Corporation a later dated proxy or by giving notice to the Corporation in writing or in open meeting but without affecting any vote previously taken. The presence, in person or by properly executed proxy, of the holders of a majority of the Corporation's outstanding shares is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Shares represented by proxies received by the Corporation will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum, regardless of how or whether such shares are voted on a specific proposal. Abstentions will be treated as votes cast on a particular matter as well as shares present at the Annual Meeting. Where nominee shareholders do not vote on specific issues because they did not receive specific instructions on such issues from the beneficial owners of such shares ("Broker Nonvotes"), such Broker Nonvotes will not be treated as either votes cast or shares present. This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card were first mailed to shareholders on or about November 3, 2000. 5 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The Corporation's Board of Directors is presently comprised of seven persons and is divided into two classes, with one class having three members and the other class four members. One class of directors is normally elected at each Annual Meeting of Shareholders for a term of two years. However, at this year's Annual Meeting, both classes of directors will be elected because, as explained below, the 1999 Annual Meeting was not held. In early November 1999, a shareholder filed a lawsuit seeking to enjoin the Corporation from soliciting or using proxies for the 1999 Annual Meeting on the grounds that the Corporation's proxy statement and proxy violated the Federal securities laws because they did not contain information about the shareholder's proposed slate of directors. The Corporation responded that it was not obligated to disclose information about the opposition slate because, among other things, the shareholder had failed to comply with the Corporation's Code of Regulations which sets forth the procedure to be followed by a shareholder who wishes to nominate candidates for election as directors of the Corporation. In late November, 1999, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California issued a preliminary injunction which forbade the Corporation from holding the 1999 Annual Meeting until it had amended its proxy statement and proxy to include the shareholder's slate of nominees. The Corporation appealed and in late August 2000 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower Court, vacated the injunction and remanded the case to the lower Court for further proceedings holding that the shareholder had not complied with the procedure to be followed in nominating candidates for election as directors. Accordingly, there is no longer any legal impediment to the Corporation holding the 1999 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. However, the Corporation does not believe it is appropriate to hold the 1999 Meeting at this time to elect three directors for terms ending at the 2001 Annual Meeting and shortly thereafter hold the 2000 Annual Meeting to elect four directors for terms ending at the 2002 Annual Meeting. Therefore, the Corporation has decided to hold one meeting (the 2000 Annual Meeting) for the election of seven directors, three for terms ending at the 2001 Annual Meeting and four for terms ending at the 2002 Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors has nominated Mr. Mulligan and Mr. Vannuki, who are presently directors of the Corporation, and Dr. Baileys, who is not presently a director, for election to terms of office expiring at the 2001 Annual Meeting and Mr. Thornton, Ms. Brenner, Mr. Turner and Mr. Ford, who are presently directors of the Corporation, for election to terms of office expiring at the 2002 Annual Meeting. It is the intention of the proxy agents named in the proxy, unless otherwise directed, to vote such proxy for the election of the above-mentioned nominees. Should any of them be unable to accept the office of director, an eventuality which is not anticipated, proxies may be voted with discretionary authority for a substitute nominee or nominees designated by the Board of Directors. The three nominees and four nominees, respectively, receiving the highest number of votes cast will be elected directors. 2 6 The following table sets forth certain information about the nominees for election.

OTHER Mr. Thornton, Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is currently employed by the Corporation under the terms of an Employment Agreement effective August 1, 1998. The initial term of the Agreement expired July 31, 1999, but the Agreement continues in force until either Mr. Thornton or the Corporation provides four months written notice terminating the Agreement. The Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $210,000, plus any increases that may be granted from time to time by the Corporation. Mr. Thornton is also eligible to receive a bonus equal to twenty-five percent of his annual base salary if certain goals, agreed to by the parties to the Agreement, are met for the current and future fiscal years. During the term of his employment, Mr. Thornton is also eligible to participate in any stock option or compensation plan adopted for officers and shall receive the fringe benefits extended by the Corporation to its most highly compensated executives. The Agreement also provides for severance payments in the event Mr. Thornton ceases to be employed by the Corporation (whether voluntarily by Mr. Thornton or otherwise) within one year after a change in control of the Corporation (as defined in the Agreement). In such event, the Corporation is required to pay Mr. Thornton an amount equal to one year's base salary. In addition, any stock options held by Mr. Thornton on the date the Agreement is terminated become immediately exercisable and may be exercised by Mr. Thornton within ninety days of the termination of the Agreement, but only if Mr. Thornton terminates the Agreement. While Mr. Thornton is receiving payments pursuant to the Agreement, he is prohibited from competing with the Corporation. 9 13 PERFORMANCE GRAPH The following graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return on the Corporation's Common Shares for its last five fiscal years with the cumulative total return of the American Stock Exchange Market Index, an American Stock Exchange listed peer group index over the same period with market capitalization between $20 million and $40 million ("AMEX I"), and an American Stock Exchange listed peer group index over the same period with market capitalization between $0 and $20 million ("AMEX II") assuming investments of $100 in each vehicle on March 31, 1995 and reinvestment of all dividends. The AMEX I peer group index is comprised of 621 companies and includes all non-financial American Stock Exchange companies with a market capitalization of between $20 and $40 million, which were publicly traded throughout the five-year period. The AMEX II peer group index is comprised of 658 companies and includes all non-financial American Stock Exchange companies with a market capitalization of between $0 and $20 million which were publicly traded throughout the five-year period. Due to the fact that the Corporation's shares have been trading at lower levels, the Corporation believes it is appropriate to compare its return with that of companies with the lower market capitalization of the AMEX II peer group. The peer group indexes were developed by an independent agency. The Corporation is not aware of any appropriate industry or line-of-business index with which to compare itself because of the diversity of the Corporation's businesses and, therefore, it believes a market capitalization index is appropriate.

The companies which comprise the AMEX I and AMEX II peer groups are listed on Appendix 1 and Appendix 2, respectively, of this Proxy Statement. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors currently is comprised of two directors who are not employees or former employees of the Corporation. The Committee's stated function is to act in an advisory capacity to the Board with respect to compensation of executives of the Corporation. Except as specifically authorized by the Board, the Committee does not have the authority to fix the compensation of any employee, officer or director of the Corporation. However, since the Committee's creation in 1977, the Board has only on rare occasions not completely adopted the recommendations of the Committee and on those occasions only minor changes were made. The goal of the Committee has been to adopt a compensation approach that is basically simple, internally equitable and externally competitive, and that attracts, motivates and retains qualified people capable of contributing to the growth, success and profitability of the Corporation, thereby contributing to long-term shareholder value. Given the size of the Corporation and the limited number of its executive officers, the Committee has traditionally chosen to evaluate each executive individually and on a subjective basis, without resort to mathematical performance formulas. The principle followed is to provide what the Committee believes is suitable compensation based on its subjective evaluation of the executive's contribution to the profitability of the Corporation. The three key elements of executive compensation are base salary, short-term incentives and long-term incentives. The Corporation's base salaries are intended to be consistent with its understanding of competitive practices, levels of responsibility, qualifications necessary for the particular position, and experience. Salary increases reflect the Committee's belief as to competitive trends, the performance of the individual and the overall financial performance of the Corporation. The short-term incentive for an executive is the opportunity to earn an annual cash bonus. In line with the Corporation's normally discretionary approach, the Committee considers all relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating an executive. The Committee considers performance over a period of time, not merely performance in the most recent year. However, in general, the most important consideration is how well the executive has met his individual goals as set forth in the most recent operating plan. Generally, the second most important consideration is the Corporation's overall financial performance in the most recent year. The Committee also considers factors beyond the executive's control, such as general economic conditions, industry trends, inflation, changes in government policies, etc., which may have had a material effect (positive or negative) on an 11 15 individual's overall performance. After considering all of these factors, the Committee recommends whether or not a particular executive should be awarded a bonus and, if so, the amount. While salary and short-term incentives are primarily designed to compensate current and past performance, the main purpose of the long-term incentive compensation program is to directly link management compensation with the long-term interests of shareholders. The Corporation currently is using, as it has for many years, stock options to provide that link. Options are intended to provide strong incentives for superior long-term future performance. In November 1998, the Directors adopted the recommendation of the Committee and authorized the execution of an Employment Agreement with Mr. Thornton, which is described under the heading "Other." Under the Agreement, Mr. Thornton received an annual base salary of $210,000 during the 1999 fiscal year and also during the 2000 fiscal year. The Committee believes that this base salary is at the low end for positions requiring similar competence, dedication, creativity, experience and leadership qualities. The Agreement also provides that Mr. Thornton will receive a bonus equal to 25% of his annual base salary if goals agreed to by the Corporation and Mr. Thornton are met. No bonus was payable for fiscal 1999 because the agreed goals were not met. For fiscal 2000 it was agreed that Mr. Thornton would be paid a bonus equal to 0.6% of the amount or value received, or paid out, by the Corporation in connection with "significant transactions" (i.e., those determined to be significant by the Committee, including the disposition or acquisition of significant amounts of assets or the repatriation of cash from the U.K.) consummated during fiscal 2000. The reason for choosing these goals was to encourage and reward the accomplishment of actions which would help position the Corporation to enter the healthcare industry - its primary strategic objective. During fiscal 2000, the Corporation consummated two transactions which the Committee deemed significant and upon which Mr. Thornton received the bonus amount which is reflected in the "Summary Compensation Table": the sale of the Corporation's equity interest in Wyle Laboratories, Inc. for $4,125,000 in cash and the repatriation of $4,132,000 in cash from the U.K. This report has been submitted by the Executive Compensation Committee: Karen B. Brenner James J. Mulligan COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION The members of the Executive Compensation Committee are Ms. Brenner (Chairperson) and Mr. Mulligan. Ms. Brenner was the sole shareholder and President of Fortuna Advisors, Inc. From April 1, 1998 until its termination on November 30, 1999, Fortuna Advisors, Inc. had a Consulting Agreement with the Corporation. The Consulting Agreement provided for a fee to Fortuna Advisors, Inc. of $5,000 per month to prepare short-term and intermediate-term acquisition plans and investigate and evaluate potential acquisitions for the Corporation. Mr. Mulligan is Secretary to the Corporation and a member of the law firm of Mulligan & Mulligan, general counsel to the Corporation. Mulligan & Mulligan received $78,681 for legal services rendered during the Corporation's fiscal year 2000. 12 16 SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires directors and certain officers of the Corporation and owners of more than 10% of the Corporation's Common Shares to file an initial ownership report with the Securities and Exchange Commission and a monthly or annual report listing any subsequent change in their ownership of any of the Corporation's equity securities. The Corporation believes, based on information provided to the Corporation by the persons required to file such reports, that all filing requirements applicable to such persons during the period from April 1, 1999 through March 31, 2000 have been met. INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS Deloitte & Touche LLP has performed an audit of the Corporation's financial statements annually since 1962. It is anticipated that representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to respond to appropriate questions and to make a statement if such representatives so desire. The Board of Directors of the Corporation annually appoints the independent public accountants for the Corporation after receiving the recommendation of its Audit Committee. OTHER BUSINESS The Board of Directors does not intend to present, and has no knowledge that others will present, any other business at the meeting. However, if any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is intended that the holders of proxies in the enclosed form will vote thereon in their discretion. COST OF SOLICITATION The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Corporation. In addition to the use of the mails, proxy solicitations may be made by directors, officers and employees of the Corporation, personally or by telephone or other means of communication, without receiving additional compensation. It is also anticipated that banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward soliciting material to their principals and to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. The Corporation will reimburse banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their out-of-pocket expenses. The Corporation has also engaged Georgeson Shareholder Communications, Inc. for a fee not to exceed $25,000 to assist in the solicitation of proxies. 13 17 SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS A proposal by a shareholder intended for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2001 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must, in accordance with applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, be received by the Corporation at 900 Circle 75 Parkway, Suite 1300, Atlanta, Georgia 30339, Attention: Secretary, on or before March 15, 2001 in order to be eligible for such inclusion.
