excess purchase price over net identifiable assets of $10,605.  The 
acquisition was financed with $14,000 of borrowings from the Company's 
revolving credit agreement and $1,500 of a subordinated seller note.

     On October 31, 1997, the Company, through its newly formed 70% owned 
subsidiary Telephone Services Holdings, Inc. (TSI), purchased the stock of 
Telephone Services, Inc.  The purchase price of $53,303, including costs 
incurred directly related to the transaction, has been allocated to working 
capital of $3,864, property, plant and equipment of $1,528, non-compete 
agreement of $2,000, and noncurrent assets of $107, resulting in an excess 
purchase price over net identifiable assets of $45,804.  The acquisition was 
financed with $48,000 of borrowings from the Company's revolving credit 
agreement, $5,000 of subordinated seller notes and the assumption of a $303 
deferred purchase agreement.

     Certain sellers of TSI are entitled to additional payments for their 
stock, contingent upon operating results as defined in the purchase 
agreement.  The maximum contingent consideration to be paid is $4,000.

     On September 2, 1997, the Company purchased the assets of Engineered 
Endeavors, Inc. (EEI).  The purchase price of $41,500, including costs incurred 
directly related to the transaction, has been allocated to working capital of 
$2,068, property, plant, and equipment of $799, noncompetition agreement of 
$2,500, noncurrent assets of $14, and resulted in an excess purchase price 
over net identifiable assets of $36,119.  The acquisition was financed with 
$21,500 of cash and $20,000 of borrowings from the Company's line of credit.

     On May 30, 1997, Jordan purchased the assets of LoDan West, Inc. 
(LoDan).  The purchase price of $17,000, including costs incurred directly 
related to the transaction, was allocated to working capital of $5,066, 
property, plant and equipment of $783, noncompetition agreement of $250, 
noncurrent assets of $41, and resulted in an excess purchase price over net 
identifiable assets of $10,860.  LoDan was one of the Telecommunications 
Companies that was subsequently acquired by the Company on July 25, 1997.

D.COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting 
Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, 
"Reporting Comprehensive Income".  Statement 130 establishes new rules for the 
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the 
adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Company's net income or 
shareholders' equity.  Statement 130 requires foreign currency translation 
adjustments, which prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholders' 
equity, to be included in other comprehensive income.  Prior year financial 
statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of Statement 
130.

     During the first quarter of 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive income 
(loss) was ($4,215) and ($870), respectively.

E.BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

     The provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from the amount of 
income tax provision computed by applying the United States federal income tax 
rate to income before income taxes and minority interest.  A reconciliation of 
the differences is as follows:

G.EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

     On January 1, 1997, the Company's Reno, Nevada production facility was 
flooded.  Uninsured property damage and lost production was estimated to be 
$319 at March 31, 1997.

H.CAPITAL STOCK

     On February 1, 1998, the Company issued 864.6345 shares of Senior 
Preferred Stock as payment of dividends through that date.

     The Junior Preferred Stock has a liquidation value, in the aggregate, 
equal to the sum of (i) $20,000; plus (ii)(A) for the period from the date of 
issuance to August 1, 2002, plus or minus 95% of the cumulative net income 
(loss) of the Company for such period and (B) for the period subsequent to 
August 1, 2002, the amount of any preferred dividends thereon not paid on any 
dividend payment date, whether or not declared, which shall be added to the 
liquidation value at such dividend payment date.  Commencing on the earlier of 
August 1, 2002 or the Early Redemption Date, as defined, holders of the Junior 
Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends are cumulative, whether 
or not earned or declared, and are payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, 
June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year following the date 
dividends commence accruing.  Through December 31, 1997, $2,923 of dividends 
were accrued on the Junior Preferred Stock, representing 95% of the Company's 
net loss from July 21, 1997 to December 31, 1997, which reduced the 
liquidation value of the Junior Preferred Stock to $17,077.  An additional 
$4,183 of dividends were accrued on the Junior Preferred Stock during the 
quarter ended March 31, 1998, which reduced the liquidation value of the 
Junior Preferred Stock to $12,894.

I.FOREIGN EXCHANGE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

     The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to 
hedge transactions and firm commitments that are denominated in foreign 
currencies (principally the Czech Koruna) and not to engage in currency 

<PAGE>

speculation.  The Company primarily utilizes forward exchange contracts with a 
duration of one year or less. Gains or losses on hedges of transaction 
exposures are included in income in the period in which exchange rates 
change.  Gains and losses on contracts which hedge specific foreign currency 
denominated commitments, primarily royalty payments from the Company's Czech 
operations, are deferred and recognized in the basis of the transactions 
underlying the commitments.

     Forward exchange contracts generally require the Company to exchange U.S. 
dollars for foreign currencies at maturity, at rates that are agreed to at 
inception of the contracts.  If the counterparties to the exchange contracts 
(primarily highly-rated financial institutions) do not fulfill their obligations
 to deliver the contracted currencies, the Company could be at risk for any 
currency related fluctuation.

     The Company has $6,884 notional amount of foreign currency forward 
exchange contracts outstanding at March 31, 1998 (none at December 31, 1997).

Consolidated Results of Operations

     Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased $24.6 
million or 52%, to $72.1 million from $47.5 million for the same period in 
1997.  The increase in sales was due primarily to the acquisitions of LoDan, 
EEI and TSI, 
which were purchased after March 31, 1997.  Combined, these acquisitions 
accounted for approximately 97% of the net sales increase.  The balance of the 
net sales increase was attributed to higher sales of custom cable assemblies, 
power conditioning systems and CATV products, which were mostly offset by 
lower cable conduit sales in the United States and the United Kingdom.

     Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased $0.4 
million, or 7%, to $6.1 million from $5.7 million for the same period in 
1997.  This increase in operating income was due to the acquisitions described 
above, which added $3.2 million in operating income.  The increase from these 
acquisitions was offset by lower operating income from the Company's 
Infrastructure Segment due to lower cable conduit sales, higher amortization 
costs relating to the new acquisitions, and the addition of shared general, 

<PAGE>

administrative and overhead expenses of Jordan Industries, and the Company's 
corporate expenses.

     Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increase $5.5 
million to $9.9 million from $4.4 million for the same period in 1997, 
reflecting higher interest costs relating to the financing of the new 
acquisitions and the Company's July 1997 debt and equity offerings.

     For information concerning the provision for income taxes see Note F of 
the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Infrastructure Products and Equipment Segment

     Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased $3.4 
million, or 14%, to $28.1 million from $24.7 million for the same period in 
1997.  The acquisition of EEI and higher sales of power conditioning systems 
and CATV products accounted for the increase.  These increases were offset by 
a 15% decrease in cable conduit sales due to lower sales in the United States 
(US) and the United Kingdom (UK).  The decrease in US sales was caused by 
severe weather conditions in west coast and southern markets.  The decrease in 
UK sales was caused by a strong currency differential between the British 
pound to other European currencies, which reduced export sales from this 
facility.  In addition, sales in the Czech Republic, 
which were up 26% in local currency, were up only 3% as these sales lost value
when translated into stronger US dollars.  Finally, the Company 
generated minimal sales from its cable conduit facility in China due to the 
Chinese New Year and upgrading of the facility's electrical systems to 
accommodate two new cable conduit extrusion lines.

     Operating income for the period decreased $1.3 million, or 43%, to $1.7 
million from $3.0 million for the same period in 1997.  This decrease was the 
result of lower cable conduit sales and lower gross profits from cable conduit 
products due to lower overhead absorption and lower average selling prices
in the US.

Electronic Connectors and Components Segment

     Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 decreased $0.1 
million to $11.0 million from $11.1 million for the same period in 1997.  This 
decrease was due to lower domestic connector sales at AIM and Cambridge, which 
were offset by stronger sales of RF Connectors through Johnson Components.

     Operating income for the period decreased $0.2 million to $2.2 million 
from $2.4 million for the same period in 1997.  This decrease was caused by 
the lower sales of the higher margin products of AIM and Cambridge, which led 
to lower overall gross margins in this segment.

Custom Cable Assemblies and Specialty Wire and Cable Segment

     Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased $21.3 
million, or 182%, to $33.0 million from $11.7 million for the same period in 
1997.  The acquisitions of LoDan, TSI and K&S, which were all purchased after 
March 31, 1997, accounted for 93% of the increase.  The balance of the 
increase was attributable to stronger custom cable assembly sales at Bond.

<PAGE>

     Operating income for the period increased $2.9 million, or 290%, to $3.9 
million from $1.0 million for the same period in 1997.  The entire increase 
was due to the new acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In general, the Company requires liquidity for working capital, capital 
expenditures, interest, taxes, debt repayment and its acquisition strategy.  
Of primary importance are the Company's working capital requirements, which 
increase whenever the Company experiences strong incremental demand or 
geographical expansion.  The Company expects to satisfy its liquidity 
requirements through a combination of funds generated from operating 
activities and the funds available under its revolving line of credit 
agreement.

     Operating activities.  Net cash used in operating activities for the 
three months ended March 31, 1998 was $0.8 million, compared to $1.4 million 
provided from activities during the same period in 1997.  The increase in cash 
requirements was primarily the result of lower operating margins and higher 
cash interest expense.  Inventory increased as a result of inclement weather 
conditions which delayed shipment of several cable conduit orders.

     Investing activities.  Capital expenditures were $0.2 million less for 
the three months ended March 31, 1998 than for the comparable period in 1997.  
The majority of the expenditures related to capital investments in the Custom 
Cable Assembly segment for equipment and the Infrastructure segment to 
expand the Company's Czech Republic facility and the installation of a new
extrusion line.

     On January 20, 1998, the Company acquired the stock of K&S Sheet Metal, 
Inc. for $15.5 million, including estimated costs of the transaction.  The 
purchase was financed with $14.0 million of borrowings from the Company's 
revolving credit agreement and $1.5 million from a subordinated seller note.

     During the period, the Company paid $2.2 million in purchase price 
holdbacks relating to its acquisition of TSI in October 1997.  The Company 
also paid $1.4 million under its additional purchase price agreement for 
Viewsonics, $1.9 million for the preferred stock of Dura-Line and $1.0 million 
of deferred SAR payments owed to the previous owners to Dura-Line.  In 
addition, the Company made a $3.4 million deferred SAR payment relating to AIM 
on May 4, 1998.

     Financing activities.  During the period, the Company increased its 
borrowings under the terms of its revolving credit agreement by $21.0 million
to fund its acquisition of K&S and to meet its additional purchase price, SAR
and other acquisition related payments.  The Company also financed $1.5 
million of its purchase of K&S through a subordinated seller note from the 
previous owners and management of K&S.  The note bears interest at a rate of 
8% and calls for principal payments of $0.7 million and $0.8 million in years
2004 and 2005, respectively.  The Company also financed $0.3 million of 
equipment relating to Johnson Components through a short-term note, $0.2 
million of working capital and $0.3 of capital expenditures relating to its 
cable conduit facility in India under its term loan agreement with Oriental 
Bank of Commerce, and $0.6 million of capital expenditures relating to its 
cable conduit facility in the Czech Republic under its short-term credit 
agreement with Czech ABN Amro.  The Company is party to a Credit Agreement 
under which the Company is able to borrow up to approximately $110.0 million 
to fund acquisitions and provide working capital and for other general 


<PAGE>

corporate purposes.  As of May 14, 1998, 
the Company has approximately $18.0 million of available funds under this 
Agreement.

     The Company expects its principal sources of liquidity to be from its 
operating activities and funding from the revolving line of credit agreement.  
The Company further expects that these sources will enable it to meet its 
long-term cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, 
interest, taxes, debt repayment, and future acquisitions for at least the next 
twelve months.
