              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The Consolidated Balance Sheets at July 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
     July 1, 2000, and July 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 9 months periods ended July 1, 2000
     are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
     year.

     inventories at July 1, 2000, and October 2, 1999, is as follows:

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

THIRD QUARTER 2000 RESULTS COMPARED WITH THIRD QUARTER 1999 RESULTS

         Sales for the third quarter rose 16 percent to $50.0 million from $43.2
million reported for the same period of fiscal 1999. The continued effectiveness
of the Company's connectivity growth strategy was clearly demonstrated in a 22
percent increase in global sales of the Industrial Communications and
Connectivity Products segment of our business to $32.9 million. Sales of this
segment represented 66 percent of total sales, compared with 62 percent in the
same quarter last year. Sales of connectivity products rose 29 percent in North
America, reflecting ongoing strength in major capital investments 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 $18.0 million compared with $12.4 million at the end of
last fiscal year, and $12.2 million reported a year ago.

         Gross profit for the quarter increased by 12 percent to $20.9 million
from $18.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Gross profit margins
decreased slightly to 41.8 percent of net sales from 43.0 percent last year,
primarily due to product mix in our Electrical Safety & Specialty Products
segment.

         Operating expenses increased by 7 percent to $14.3 million from $13.3
million; as a percentage of net sales operating expenses declined to 28.5
percent from 30.9 percent in the third quarter of 1999.

         Income from operations for the Industrial Communications and
Connectivity Products segment rose 61 percent to $4.7 million as a result of the
increase in sales and good operating controls. Income from operations for our
Electrical Safety & Specialty Products segment was down 8 percent at $2.5
million, reflecting a product mix change from the prior year.

         Although interest expense decreased compared with the third quarter of
last year, total other expenses increased due the negative impact this year of
foreign exchange.

         Net income was $3.5 million, a 58 percent increase over the $2.2
million reported for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share were
$0.30 compared with $0.20 in the third quarter of last year.

FINANCIAL POSITION

         Working capital increased by $3.8 million during the quarter ended July
1, 2000. The current ratio of 2.6 to 1 for the quarter increased slightly from
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 34.1 percent, down from 36.4 percent at
year-end.

         Return on assets increased to 8.3 percent from 1.8 percent, and return
on equity increased to 15.9 percent from 3.3 percent for the comparable
4-quarter periods ending July 1, 2000, and July 3, 1999, respectively. The
increases in return on assets and return on equity were due to the absence of
certain charges, which


                                       9
<PAGE>


were included in the calculations for the 4-quarter period ending July 3, 1999,
as well as increased profitability. 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 126 percent to $16.1 million for the 9
months ending July 1, 2000. The effective tax rate for the third quarter
declined to 36 percent from 49 percent 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 - Other
Information: 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 counter party 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


                                       10
<PAGE>


effective hedge of an investment in a foreign operation, any gain or loss on the
contract is recorded directly to other comprehensive income in Stockholders'
investment.

         The following table indicates the values to be exchanged over the next
5 years relating to the Lire swap:

                           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.
