              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  April 1, 2000
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)      The Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 1, 2000, and October 2, 1999,
         and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and the
         Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Comprehensive Income for the
         periods ended April 1, 2000, and April 3, 1999, reflect, in the opinion
         of the Company, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
         financial position for such periods. All such adjustments were of a
         normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures
         normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
         pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes
         that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
         misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial
         statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
         statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual
         Report on Form 10-K.

(2)      The results of operations for the 3 and 6 month periods ended April 1,
         2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
         the full year.

(3)      The breakdown of raw materials and work-in-process and finished goods
         inventories at April 1, 2000, and October 2, 1999, is as follows:

                ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                        OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

SECOND QUARTER 2000 RESULTS COMPARED WITH SECOND QUARTER 1999.

         Sales for the second quarter rose 15 percent to $51.3 million from
$44.5 million reported for the same period of fiscal 1999. The continued
effectiveness of the Company's connectivity growth strategy was clearly
demonstrated in a 25 percent increase in global sales of the Industrial
Communications and Connectivity Products segment of our business to $32.8
million. Sales of this segment represented 64 percent of total sales, compared
with 59 percent in the same quarter last year. Sales of connectivity products
rose 40 percent in North America, reflecting ongoing strength in major capital
investment in the automotive, machine tool, and material-handling industries
served by our OEM customers. Sales of the Company's Electrical Safety &
Specialty Products segment grew 5 percent in North America, but declined in
Europe where the economic climate for infrastructure development was less
favorable. The backlog at the end of the quarter was $17.3 million compared with
$12.4 million at the end of last fiscal year, and $13.8 million reported a year
ago.

         Gross profit for the quarter increased by 15 percent to $22.4 million
from $19.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Gross profit margins
decreased slightly to 43.6 percent of net sales from 43.8 percent last year.

         Operating expenses increased by 15.4 percent to $15.7 million from
$13.6 million; as a percentage of net sales operating expenses were 30.5 percent
during both comparative periods.

         Income from operations for the Industrial Communications and
Connectivity Products segment rose 53 percent to $4.4 million as a result of the
increase in sales and good operating controls. Income from operations for our
Electrical Safety & Specialty Products segment was up 6 percent at $3.4 million.

         Although interest expense decreased compared with the second quarter of
last year, total other expenses increased due to the absence of an insurance
recovery in the second quarter of last year and the negative impact this year of
foreign exchange.

         Net income was $3.5 million, a 21 percent increase over the $2.9
million reported for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share were
$0.30 compared with $0.26 in the second quarter of last year.

FINANCIAL POSITION

         Working capital increased by $0.8 million during the quarter ended
April 1, 2000. The current ratio of 2.5 to 1 for the quarter is the same as at
the end of last year. Long-term debt decreased to $45.0 million from $47.l
million at year-end resulting in a debt to total capitalization (short and
long-term debt plus equity) ratio of 35.9 percent, down from 36.4 percent at
year-end. Return on assets increased to 7.4 percent from 2.2 percent, and return
on equity increased to 14.6 percent from 4.1 percent for the comparable
4-quarter periods ending April 1, 2000, and April 3, 1999, respectively. The
increases in return on assets and return on equity were primarily due to the
absence of certain charges, which were included in the calculations for the
4-quarter period ending April 3, 1999. Other assets increased due to the
investment in Symphony Systems, and an unrealized foreign exchange gain related
to the Lire swap. The company is in compliance with all of its debt covenants.
Cash flows from operating activities increased by 60% to $5.6 million for the 6
months ending April 1, 2000. The effective tax rate for the second quarter
declined to 38% from 42% last year due to a lower effective foreign tax rate and
higher R & D tax credits. Looking forward, internal cash flow is expected to be
more than adequate to fund operating requirements in 2000,

and significant borrowing is available, should the need arise.

OTHER

         The Company is party to an environmental matter, which obligates it to
investigate, remediate or mitigate the effects on the environment of the release
of certain substances at one of the Company's facilities. For additional
information concerning the environmental matter, see "Part II Item 1. Legal
proceedings".

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Certain statements contained herein constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual and
future performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different
from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. Such factors include: achieving sales levels to
fulfill revenue expectations; the absence of presently unexpected costs or
charges, certain of which may be outside the control of the Company; general
economic and business conditions; competition; and other factors described in
the Company's SEC filings.



                                     PART I
       ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company, as a result of its global operating activities, is exposed
to changes in foreign currency exchange rates which may adversely affect its
results of operations and financial condition. In seeking to minimize the risks
and/or costs associated with such activities, the Company manages exposure to
changes in foreign currency exchange rates through its regular operating
activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial
instruments.

         The Company uses financial instruments to selectively hedge and thereby
attempts to reduce its overall exposure to the effects of foreign currency
fluctuations. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for
speculative purposes. The Company uses foreign currency forward and swap
contracts to hedge a portion of the currency risks of transactions denominated
in foreign currencies. Gains and losses on these foreign currency hedges are
generally offset by corresponding losses and gains on the underlying
transactions.

         In 1998 the Company entered into a foreign currency swap agreement with
an AA- rated counterparty to hedge a portion of its investment in its Italian
subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will swap 35.52
million Lire for $20.0 million U. S. Dollars amortized over 8 years. In
addition, the contract provides for the Company to make annual interest payments
of 6.50% on the outstanding Lire balance, while receiving 7.43% on the
outstanding Dollar balance. Due to the fact that this contract is an effective
hedge of an investment in a foreign entity, any gain or loss on the contract is
recorded directly to cumulative translation adjustment in stockholders' equity.

                            PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The Company is subject to federal and state hazardous substance cleanup
laws that impose liability for the costs of cleaning up contamination resulting
from past spills, disposal or other releases of hazardous substances. In this
regard, the Company has incurred, and expects to incur, assessment, remediation
and related costs at one of the Company's facilities. In 1991, the Company
reported to state regulators a release at that site from an underground storage
tank ("UST"). The UST and certain contaminated soil subsequently were removed
and disposed of at an off-site disposal facility. The Company's independent
environmental consultant has been conducting an investigation of soil and
groundwater at the site with oversight by the state Department of Environmental
Quality ("DEQ"). The investigation indicates that additional soil and
groundwater at the site have been impaired by chlorinated solvents, including
tetrachloroethane and trichloroethylene, and other compounds. Also, the Company
learned that a portion of the site had been used as a disposal area by the
previous owners of the site. The Company's consultant has remediated the soils
in this area but believes that it is a major source of contamination of
groundwater, both on-site and off-site. In addition, the investigation of the
site indicates that the groundwater contaminants have migrated off-site. The
Company has implemented a groundwater remediation system for the on-site
contamination. The Company continues to monitor and analyze conditions to
determine the continued efficacy of the system. The Company also continues to
analyze remedial alternatives for the off-site groundwater contamination and is
reviewing these alternatives with the DEQ. The Company continues to investigate
the extent of other sources of contamination in addition to the removed UST and
the above-referenced disposal area, including possible evidence of past or
current releases by others in the vicinity around the Company's facilities.

         The Company's consultant estimated that a minimum of approximately
$1,659,000 of investigation and remediation expenses remain to be incurred, both
on-site and off-site. The Company has a reserve for such purposes. The Company
has filed a complaint in federal district court seeking contribution from the
previous owners of the site for the cost of the investigation and remediation of
the site. Also, the Company is evaluating similar claims against various
insurers. The consultant's cost estimate was based on a review of currently
available data and assumptions concerning the extent of contamination,
geological conditions, and the costs and effectiveness of certain treatment
technologies. The cost estimate continues to be subject to substantial
uncertainty because of the extent of the contamination area, the variety and
nature of geological conditions throughout the contamination area, changes in
remediation technology, and ongoing DEQ feedback. The Company is continuing to
monitor the conditions at the site and will adjust its reserve if necessary. The
Company may incur significant additional assessment, remediation and related
costs at the site, and such costs could materially and adversely affect the
Company's consolidated net income for the period in which such costs are
incurred. At this time, the Company, however, cannot estimate the time or
potential magnitude of such costs, if any.
