1.       ACQUISITION OF WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARIES

On December 17, 1999, Schaublin, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
completed an asset purchase of Schaublin SA, a manufacturer of collets and
bearings whose principal operations are located in Delemont, Switzerland, and a
related stock purchase of Schaublin France SA, a manufacturer of bearings
located in Bovagnet, France. The acquisition was economically effective as of
January 1, 1999. The earnings of Schaublin for the period from January 1, 1999
through September 30, 1999 effectively reduced the aggregate purchase price for
the acquisition to 14.0 million Swiss Francs, or approximately $8.8 million. The
results of operations of Schaublin for the period commencing October 1, 1999 are
included in the results of operations of the Company.

On June 11, 1999, Tyson, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the
acquisition of certain selected assets of SKF USA, Inc.'s taper roller bearing
operations whose principal operations are located in Glasgow, Kentucky. The
aggregate purchase price for the acquisition, which was effective as of April 1,
1999, was $10.2 million plus the assumption of certain selected liabilities. The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

The results of operations of Tyson and Schaublin subsequent to the respective
effective dates of acquisition are included in the results of operations of the
Company. Pro forma consolidated results of operations of the Company, based upon
pre-acquisition unaudited historical information provided by the former owners
of Schaublin for the quarter ended June 26, 1999 as if the acquisitions took
place on April 4, 1999 are as follows (unaudited):

2.       DEBT

On June 23, 1997, pursuant to a Redemption and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated
May 20, 1997, Holdings effected a recapitalization of its outstanding capital
stock (including the financing and other transactions consummated by Holdings,
the Company and its subsidiaries in connection therewith, the
"Recapitalization"). In connection with the financing of the Recapitalization,
the Company issued $110,000 aggregate principal amount of 9 5/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Notes"). The Notes pay interest semiannually
and mature on June 15, 2007, but may be redeemed at the Company's option
beginning on June 15, 2002, or earlier under certain conditions specified in the
indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued (the "Indenture"). The Notes
are unsecured and subordinated to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness
(as defined in the Indenture) of the Company. The Notes are fully and
unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior
subordinated basis by each of the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

3.       RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" was issued. This Statement, which was amended by SFAS No. 137,
becomes effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2001,
and establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives
as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
measure those instruments at fair value. The Company does not anticipate the
adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the financial
statements.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

Except for the historical information and current statements contained in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, certain matters discussed herein, including,
without limitation, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" are forward looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, including, without limitation, the effect of economic and market
conditions and competition, the cyclical nature of the Company's target markets,
particularly, the aerospace industry, the cost of raw materials and the
Company's ability to pass cost increases to its customers, the reliance of the
Company on certain customers, the ability of the Company to expand into new
markets, the ability of the Company to integrate acquisitions and other factors
discussed from time to time in the reports filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which could cause actual results to differ
materially.

The following discussion addresses the financial condition of the Company as of
July 1, 2000 and the results of its operations for the three month period ended
July 1, 2000, compared to the comparable periods last year. The discussion
should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended April 1,
2000 included in the Form 10-K.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 1, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 26, 1999

Net sales for the three months ended July 1, 2000 were $43.9 million, an
increase of $0.9 million or 2.1% over the three months ended June 26, 1999. Net
sales included sales totaling $4.2 million from Schaublin, acquired effective
October, 1999. Net sales decreased $3.3 million or 7.7% without Schaublin's
sales. The decrease in net sales is primarily attributed to run-off sales at one
of the newly acquired companies which were included in the first quarter of last
year.

Gross margin increased by $2.6 million or 22.5% to $14.4 million for the three
months ended July 1, 2000, as compared to the comparable period last year. Gross
margin as a percentage of net sales increased 5.5%, from 27.3% for the first
quarter of fiscal 2000, to 32.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The
increase is primarily the result of strategic pricing increases, better
operational performance, the elimination of certain unprofitable lines and
machine tool capital enhancements.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by $0.7 million
or 12.2% to $6.5 million for the three month period ended July 1, 2000 as
compared to the comparable period last year. The increase was primarily the
additional expenses related to Schaublin. SG&A as a percentage of net sales
increased from 13.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to 14.9% for the first
quarter of fiscal 2001.

Operating income increased by $1.9 million or 33.2% to $7.7 million for the
three months ended July 1, 2000 as compared to $5.8 million for the
corresponding period in the prior year. The increase primarily resulted from
higher gross margin partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Income before taxes increased for the three month period ended July 1, 2000 to
$4.0 million from $2.4 million for the same period last year, as a result of
higher operating income.

Net income for the current quarter reflects a tax provision of $1.6 million
compared to $0.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Net income
increased by $0.9 million to $2.4 million from $1.5 million for the
corresponding period last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the three months ended July 1, 2000, the Company provided cash of $2.0
million from operating activities compared to $5.5 million for the comparable
period last year. The increase of $3.5 million is primarily the result of an
increase in non-cash working capital of $4.2 million, partially offset by an
increase in net income of $0.8 million, and all other of $0.1 million.

Cash used for investing activities for the three months ended July 1, 2000
consisted on $1.5 million relating to capital expenditures. Cash used for
investing activities for the three months ended June 26, 1999 was $11.4 million
which included $10.2 million for the acquisition of Tyson, with the remainder
relating to capital expenditures of $1.2 million. Proceeds of $4.8 million from
the issuance of industrial revenue bonds was placed in a trust account, and $4.8
million from such trust account was remitted to the Company in connection with
qualifying equipment purchases.

For the three months ended July 1, 2000, the Company had net cash inflows from
financing activities of $0.3 million partially resulting from a draw down on its
revolving credit facility of $1.5 million. These proceeds were partially used to
pay debt service and capital lease principal amounts of $0.9 million and $0.3
million, respectively. In the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company had net
cash inflows from financing activities of $8.1 million, partially resulting from
a draw down on its revolving credit facility of $3.5 million. Additionally, in
April 1999, the Company issued $4.8 million in secured industrial revenue bonds
which are due in 2024, and which were used for construction and purchase of
building improvements, fixtures, machinery and equipment in connection with a
manufacturing facility of the Company. During the three month period ended June
26, 1999, the Company used $0.2 million of funds for capital lease obligations.

Principal and interest payments under the Senior Credit Facilities, interest
payments on the Notes, and the funding of acquisitions represent significant
liquidity requirements for the Company. With respect to the Term Loans, the
Company is required to make scheduled principal payments which commenced in
December 1997. The Term Loans bear interest at a floating rate based upon the
interest rate option elected by the Company. As a result of the indebtedness
incurred in connection with the Recapitalization, the Company's
post-Recapitalization interest expense will be higher and will have a greater
proportionate impact on net income in comparison to pre-Recapitalization
periods.

The Company believes that cash flows from operations and amounts available under
the Revolving Credit Facility will provide adequate funds for ongoing
operations, planned capital expenditures (including acquisitions) and debt
service payments for at least the next twelve months. The Company's ability to
borrow is limited by the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities and the Indenture
under which the Notes were issued.
