        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996



1)    The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements 
      include all adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary 
      for a fair presentation of the information for the interim period herein 
      reported.  These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements 
      should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements 
      included in the 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders.

2)    The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 
      are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the year 
      ending December 31, 1997.  Accounting measurements at interim dates 
      inherently involve greater imprecision than at year-end, which is due, in 
      part, to increased reliance on the use of estimates at interim dates.

3)    On May 23, 1996, the Company sold the principal operating assets of 
      Wynn's Climate Systems, Inc. (WCS), a manufacturer and marketer of 
      automotive air conditioning systems and components.  The results of 
      operations for WCS and the income or loss on disposal of WCS' principal 
      net operating assets have been classified on the statements of income as 
      discontinued operations.  Revenues from discontinued operations for the 
      period January 1 to May 23, 1996 were $20,353,000.

4)    On March 26, 1997, the Company commenced a Dutch Auction self-tender 
      offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase for cash up to 1,100,000 shares, 
      or approximately 8.0%, of its issued and outstanding Common Stock at a 
      purchase price of not greater than $25.00 per share nor less than $22.00 
      per share.  Pursuant to the Tender Offer, which terminated on April 22, 
      1997, the Company purchased 1,100,000 shares of its Common Stock at a 
      purchase price of $24.25 per share.  The aggregate cost to the Company of 
      the Tender Offer, including expenses, was approximately $27 million.  In 
      the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the shares repurchased were treated as 
      treasury shares and the purchase price and related expenses have been 
      reported as a reduction in the equity of the Company as the cost of 
      treasury shares.

</TABLE>
      The number of shares and the related earnings per share data for the
      periods ended September 30, 1996 have been adjusted retroactively to
      reflect the 3 for 2 stock split effected in December 1996.

7)    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share,
      which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.  At that time, the
      Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute
      earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the new
      requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive
      effect of stock options and pending performance shares will be excluded.
      The impact is expected to result in an increase in primary earnings per
      share for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 of $.02 and $.02
      per share, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
      and 1996 of $.06 and $.05 per share, respectively.  The impact of this
      Statement on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for
      these quarters and nine-month periods is not expected to be material.

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




RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
- ----------------------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the third quarter of 1997 were $79.4 million, a 12% increase 
compared to sales of $70.6 million in the third quarter of 1996.  Sales of 
the Automotive and Industrial Components Division, which is comprised of 
Wynn's-Precision, Inc. (Precision), a Lebanon, Tennessee-based supplier of 
O-rings, seals and molded rubber products, and Robert Skeels & Company
(Skeels), a small regional wholesale distributor of builders hardware products, 
increased 20% in the third quarter of 1997 compared to the third quarter of 
1996, primarily reflecting higher sales volume at Precision.  Precision's 
sales increased at all divisions, with the most significant growth 
occurring at its Virginia and Tennessee operations.  Also contributing to 
the increase in sales was Precision's September 1996 acquisition of an 
automotive sealing business in Kentucky.  The increase in sales at 
Precision's Virginia operation was due to growth of its expanded composite 
gasket product line.  The increase in sales at Precision's Tennessee 
operation, which manufactures and sells primarily O-rings, was due mainly 
to higher sales to the automotive, heavy truck and off-road markets.  This 
increase in revenues occurred despite lower U.S. automotive production 
rates during the most recent quarter compared to the prior year.  Sales at 
Skeels were approximately the same in the third quarter of 1997 compared to 
the same quarter in 1996.

Sales at the Specialty Chemicals Division, principally car care products, 
increased 5% in the third quarter compared to the same quarter in 1996.  
Excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, total net sales 
of this Division would have increased 12% in the most recent quarter 
compared to the same quarter in 1996.  Sales increased 12% in the U.S. 
compared to the prior year primarily due to higher sales of the division's 
product warranty programs and higher export sales to Latin American 
distributors.  Foreign subsidiary sales decreased 1% in the most recent 
quarter compared to the prior year due to the continued negative 
translation effect of the strong U.S. dollar.

The consolidated cost of sales in the third quarter of 1997 increased to 
62.8% of sales compared to 60.7% in the third quarter of 1996.  The 
decrease in the consolidated gross margin percentage was due to the change 
in mix of revenues.  Precision generated higher gross profit due to the 
higher sales volume, but its gross margin as a percentage of sales 
decreased.  The decrease was due to additional sales of its lower margin 
plastics products, partially offset by improved margins in the Tennessee 
operations.  At the Specialty Chemicals Division, gross profit increased 
due to the higher sales, but declined as a percentage of sales due to the 
increase in sales in the U.S., which generally have a lower gross margin 
than this Division's foreign subsidiary sales.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the third quarter of
1997 were $19.7 million (24.8% of sales) compared to $19.6 million (27.7% of 
sales) for

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)  
- -------------------------------------------------


the third quarter of 1996.  The small increase in SG&A expenses was primarily
due to higher expenses at Precision, reflecting the higher sales volumes, 
partially offset by a decline in expenses at the Specialty Chemicals 
Division.  The decline was due to the translation effect of a strong U.S. 
dollar and accruals for foreign relocation and severance costs in the prior 
year's comparable quarter.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses declined at 
Precision due to the higher revenues and constant monitoring of costs and 
at the Specialty Chemicals Division due to the lower spending.  Operating 
expenses at Corporate increased in the third quarter of 1997 compared to 
the third quarter of 1996, reflecting increased executive and incentive 
compensation costs.

Income before taxes based on income increased 18% to $10.2 million in 1997 
from $8.6 million in the third quarter of 1996.  In the Automotive and 
Industrial Components Division, Precision's operating profit increased 20% 
compared to the third quarter of 1996 due to the higher sales.  The 
Specialty Chemicals Division experienced an 18% increase in operating 
profit in the quarter ended September 30, 1997 due primarily to improved 
results in its North American operations, especially in the U.S.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 1997 was 37.2%, unchanged 
from the tax rate in the third quarter of 1996.

Income from continuing operations increased 18% to $6.4 million in the 
third quarter of 1997 compared to $5.4 million in the third quarter of 1996 
as a result of the increase in pretax income.  Primary income per share in 
the third quarter of 1997 increased to $.48 from $.38 in 1996, a 26% 
increase, due to the higher income and fewer shares outstanding.  The 
number of shares used in the calculation of primary earnings per share 
decreased 6% in 1997 due primarily to the repurchase in April 1997 of 1.1 
million shares of the Company's outstanding stock pursuant to a Dutch 
Auction self-tender offer.  Fully diluted earnings per share from 
continuing operations also increased 26% in 1997 compared to 1996 for the 
same reasons as the increase in primary earnings per share.


Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased 11% to 
$238.3 million from $213.9 million in the same period of last year.  Sales 
were up 20% for the Automotive Components Division compared to the first 
nine months of 1996 due primarily to higher sales at Precision's Virginia 
and Tennessee operations, and the inclusion of sales from its Kentucky 
operation which was acquired in September 1996.  Sales at Skeels increased 
in the first nine months of 1997 compared to the same period last year.  
Sales for the Specialty Chemicals Division increased 3% in the first nine 
months of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 due primarily to higher 
sales in the U.S.  Excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctua-
tions, total sales of this Division would have increased 9% in the first 
nine months of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.

Interest income increased $.5 million during the first nine months of 1997 
compared to the same period in 1996 due to higher average cash and cash 
equivalent balances on deposit.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)  
- -------------------------------------------------


Total cost of sales for the first nine months of 1997 was 62.0% of sales 
compared to 60.1% in the first nine months of 1996.  Both the Specialty 
Chemicals Division and Precision generated higher gross profit due to the 
higher sales volume, but gross margins declined as a percentage of sales.  
The decrease in gross margin percentage at the Specialty Chemicals Division 
was the result of a change in sales mix.  Precision's gross margin declined 
due to higher sales of its lower margin plastics products and general price 
pressures.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly to $61.3 
million for the first nine months of 1997 from $61.0 million for the same 
period in 1996.  The increase primarily reflects higher spending levels at 
Precision due to the higher revenues, partially offset by a decline in 
expenses at the Specialty Chemicals Division due to a change in revenue mix 
and the translation effect of a strong U.S. dollar.  Operating expenses at 
Corporate for the first nine months of 1997 were slightly above 1996 levels 
for the comparable period.

Income before taxes based on income increased to $30.6 million from $25.2 
million in the first nine months of 1996.  The Specialty Chemicals Division 
had a 24% increase in operating profit compared to the first nine months of 
last year primarily due to the reasons stated in the analysis of the third 
quarter.  In the Automotive Components Division, both Precision's and 
Skeels' operating profit increased compared to the first nine months of 
1996 as a result of higher sales.

Income from continuing operations increased 23% to $19.2 million in the 
first nine months of 1997 from $15.7 million in the same period in 1996 due 
to the growth in income before taxes and a decrease in the effective tax 
rate to 37.2% from 37.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The 
decrease in the effective tax rate reflects the anticipated 1997 full year 
rate of 37.2%, which is the same as the 1996 full year rate.

Primary earnings per share rose 27% to $1.40 in the first nine months of 
1997 compared to $1.10 in the same period in 1996.  The increase in primary 
earnings per share is attributable to the increase in income and a 3% 
decrease in the number of shares used in the calculation of primary 
earnings per share for the reason explained in the analysis of the third 
quarter.  Fully diluted earnings per share increased in 1997 compared to 
1996 due to the higher income and fewer shares outstanding.


RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
- ----------------------------------

On May 23, 1996, the Company sold the principal operating assets of Wynn's 
Climate Systems, Inc., (WCS), the automotive air conditioning business 
which was formerly part of the Automotive and Industrial Components 
Division.  The results of operations for WCS have been classified on the 
statements of income as discontinued operations.  Income from discontinued 
operations of $319,000 in the first nine months of 1997 was attributable to 
adjustments to certain estimated reserves arising from the May 1996 sale.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)  
- -------------------------------------------------


FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

Working capital at September 30, 1997 was $73.9 million compared to $89.6 
million at December 31, 1996.  The current ratio at September 30, 1997 was 
2.03 to 1 compared to 2.39 to 1 at December 31, 1996.  The Company has 
adequate cash and cash equivalents and lines of credit to meet foreseeable 
working capital requirements.

On March 26, 1997, the Company commenced a Dutch Auction self-tender offer 
(the "Tender Offer") to purchase for cash up to 1,100,000 shares of its 
issued and outstanding Common Stock.  Pursuant to the Tender Offer, which 
terminated on April 22, 1997, the Company purchased 1,100,000 shares of its 
Common Stock at a purchase price of $24.25 per share.  The aggregate cost 
to the Company of the Tender Offer, including expenses, was approximately 
$27 million, which was funded from cash and cash equivalents.  The shares 
purchased in the Tender Offer were treated as treasury shares and the 
aggregate cost has been reported as a reduction in the equity of the 
Company as the cost of treasury shares.

Cash and cash equivalents were $34.8 million at September 30, 1997 
compared to $53.3 million at December 31, 1996.  The decrease in cash and 
cash equivalents was primarily due to the funding of the Tender Offer to 
repurchase 1.1 million shares of the Company's common stock for 
approximately $27 million.

Accounts receivable increased $9.7 million to $58.0 million at September 
30, 1997 from $48.3 million at December 31, 1996.  This increase was 
primarily due to the higher sales at Precision and the Specialty Chemicals 
Division.  Inventories decreased $.9 million to $30.1 million at the end of 
the third quarter of this year compared to the $30.9 million at December 
31, 1996.  Inventories increased at the Specialty Chemicals Division, 
primarily in the U.S. professional products division, but declined at 
Precision.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company purchased 
$9.6 million of new property, plant and equipment, primarily for the 
Automotive and Industrial Components Division.  The Company anticipates 
that capital expenditures will be approximately $11 to $12 million in 1997.

Stockholders' equity at September 30, 1997 was $121.1 million or $9.45 per 
share compared to $133.0 million or $9.72 per share at December 31, 1996.  
The decrease of $11.8 million is attributable to net income of $19.5 
million, $2.0 million from the exercise of stock options and the 
amortization of unearned compensation, reduced by repurchases of the 
Company's common stock for $28.0 million, a $2.2 million decrease in the 
foreign currency translation account and $3.1 million of dividends 
declared.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------

The preceding financial statements and Management's Discussion and 
Analysis contain various "forward-looking statements" representing the 
Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events.  The statements 
include the following: the anticipated level of capital expenditures and 
the sufficiency of working capital.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)  
- -------------------------------------------------


The Company cautions that these statements are further qualified by 
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from 
those in the forward-looking statements, including the following: sales of 
new and used cars in the U.S.; automotive and off-road construction vehicle 
production rates in North America; continued pricing pressure in the U.S. 
automotive industry; the Company's ultimate liability for environmental 
matters; and general economic conditions, especially in North America and 
Western Europe.

The Company's actual results thus may differ materially from the expected 
results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
