        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997



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 1997 Annual Report to Stockholders.

2)    The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 
      are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the year 
      ending December 31, 1998.  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 April 29, 1998, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to 
      the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the par value of the 
      Company's Common Stock from $1.00 per share to $0.01 per share.  All 
      share amounts have been adjusted retroactively for the reduction in par 
      value.

4)    Cash payments for interest and income taxes are as follows:

6)    As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted 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 stockholders'
      equity.  Statement 130 requires the Equity Adjustment From Foreign
      Currency Translation account to be reported as Accumulated Other
      Comprehensive Income on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance
      Sheets.  The statement also requires foreign currency translation
      adjustments to be reported as a component of comprehensive income.

      Total comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September
      30, 1998 was $6,900,000 and $20,590,000, respectively, and for the three
      and nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $5,942,000 and $17,367,000,
      respectively.  The reported amounts for total comprehensive income differ
      from net income due to foreign currency translation adjustments.  The tax
      effect related to foreign currency translation adjustments is immaterial
      and has not been recognized as part of Comprehensive Income or in
      Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Company's Consolidated
      Condensed Balance Sheets.

7)    In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
      of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of
      an Enterprise and Related Information.  Statement 131 establishes
      standards for the way that public business enterprises report information
      about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that
      those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in
      interim financial reports.  It also establishes standards for related
      disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major
      customers.  Statement 131 is effective for financial statements for
      fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and therefore the Company
      will adopt the new requirements retroactively in 1998.  As allowed by
      Statement 131, the Company has elected not to apply the statement's
      standards to interim financial statements in 1998.  The Company is in the
      process of evaluating the impact of Statement 131 on the Company's
      reported segments.

             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, 1998 and 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the third quarter of 1998 were $79.8 million, a 1% increase 
compared to sales of $79.4 million in the third quarter of 1997.  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 2% in the third quarter of 1998 compared to the third quarter of 
1997, primarily reflecting a small increase in sales volume at Precision.  
The labor strike at General Motors, Precision's largest customer, that 
began June 5, 1998 and was settled on July 29, 1998 had a negative impact 
on Precision's sales in the most recent quarter.  Despite the adverse 
impact of the General Motors labor strike, Precision's sales increased 
slightly at its Virginia-based division and at its Tennessee operation.  
The increase in sales at Precision's Virginia operation was due to 
continued 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 off-road 
construction and aerospace markets, partially offset by lower sales to the 
automotive market.  Sales at Skeels were approximately the same in the 
third quarter of 1998 compared to the same quarter in 1997.

Sales at the Specialty Chemicals Division, principally car care products, 
decreased 1% in the third quarter of 1998 compared to the same quarter in 
1997.  Excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, total 
net sales of this Division would have increased 1% in the most recent 
quarter compared to the same quarter in 1997.  Sales decreased 1% in the 
U.S. compared to the prior year primarily due to lower sales of 
professional products and lower export sales to Asian and Latin American 
distributors.  Foreign subsidiary sales also decreased 1% in the most 
recent quarter compared to the prior year.  Foreign subsidiary sales were 
impacted by the continued negative translation effect of the strong U.S. 
dollar during the third quarter of 1998 compared to the same quarter last 
year.  Beginning in late September and continuing through October 1998, 
the U.S. dollar has weakened against the currencies in those countries in 
which this Division operates.

The consolidated cost of sales in the third quarter of 1998 decreased to 
62.0% of sales compared to 62.8% in the third quarter of 1997.  The 
increase in the consolidated gross margin percentage was due to improved 
gross margin percentages at the Specialty Chemicals Division.  During the 
third quarter of 1998, the gross margin percentage increased at the 
Specialty Chemicals Division due to a change in its sales mix to higher 
margin products.  Precision's gross margin percentage was unchanged in the 
third quarter of 1998 compared to the same period last year.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the third quarter of
1998 were $21.5 million (26.9% of sales) compared to $19.7 million (24.8% of 
sales) for the third quarter of 1997.  The increase in SG&A expenses was
primarily due to
                                      7

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


higher selling costs associated with product warranty programs at the 
Specialty Chemicals Division.  SG&A expenses were approximately the same at 
Precision in absolute dollars and as a percentage of sales.  As a 
percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased at the Specialty Chemicals
Division, primarily due to a change in sales mix.  Corporate operating expenses 
decreased in the third quarter of 1998 compared to the third quarter of 
1997 due to lower executive incentive compensation expenses.

Income before taxes based on income decreased 8% to $9.4 million in 1998 
from $10.2 million in the third quarter of 1997, due to a 30% decline in 
operating profit at the Specialty Chemicals Division.  The decline in 
operating profit at the Specialty Chemicals Division in the third quarter 
of 1998 compared to the same period last year was primarily caused by weak 
results in the Asia Pacific area and Latin America, as well as a slowdown 
in the subprime lending markets served by the U.S. product warranty 
business.  Partially offsetting the third quarter decline in the Specialty 
Chemicals Division's operating profit were a 3% increase in operating 
profit at Precision, reduced Corporate expenses, and an increase in 
consolidated interest income, all compared to the third quarter of 1997.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 1998 was 34.8%, down from 
the 37.2% tax rate in the third quarter of 1997.  This decrease reflects 
the anticipated reduction in the 1998 full year rate to 36.0%, which is 
lower than the 37.2% full year rate in 1997.  This decline in the effective 
tax rate is primarily due to changes in estimated provisions for the 
repatriation of foreign earnings.

Income from continuing operations decreased 5% to $6.1 million in the 
third quarter of 1998 compared to $6.4 million in the third quarter of 1997 
as a result of the decrease in pretax income, partially offset by the lower 
effective tax rate.  Basic income per share in the third quarter of 1998 
decreased 3% to $.32 from $.33 in 1997 due to the lower net income and 
fewer shares outstanding.  The number of shares used in the calculation of 
basic earnings per share decreased 1% in 1998 primarily due to repurchases 
of the Company's outstanding stock during the most recent quarter pursuant 
to the three-year, $15 million share repurchase program authorized by the 
Board of Directors in the fourth quarter of 1995.  Diluted earnings per 
share also decreased 3% in the third quarter of 1998 compared to 1997 for 
the same reasons as the decrease in basic earnings per share.


Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
- ---------------------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the nine months of 1998 increased 5% to $251.2 million from 
$238.3 million in the same period of last year.  Sales were up 5% for the 
Automotive Components Division compared to the first nine months of 1997 
due primarily to higher sales at Precision's Virginia and Tennessee 
operations.  Sales at Skeels increased slightly in the first nine months of 
1998 compared to the same period last year.  Sales for the Specialty 
Chemicals Division increased 6% in the first nine months of 1998 compared 
to the same period in 1997 primarily due to higher sales in the U.S., 
Belgium, Canada, France, U.K. and Mexico.  Excluding the effect of foreign 
exchange rate fluctuations, total sales of this Division would have 
increased 9% in the first nine months of 1998 compared to the same period 
in 1997.

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


Total cost of sales for the first nine months of 1998 was 61.0% of sales 
compared to 62.0% in the first nine months of 1997.  Precision and the 
Specialty Chemicals Division achieved higher gross margins due to the 
higher sales and a change in sales mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $67.0 million 
for the first nine months of 1998 from $61.3 million for the same period in 
1997.  The increase primarily reflects higher spending levels at the 
Specialty Chemicals Division and Precision due to the higher revenues, 
increased selling costs associated with the Specialty Chemical Division's 
product warranty business and a change in sales mix.  Operating expenses at 
Corporate for the first nine months of 1998 were below the comparable 
period in 1997 due to lower executive incentive compensation costs and 
certain nonrecurring expenses incurred in 1997.

Income before taxes based on income increased to $32.4 million from $30.6 
million in the first nine months of 1997.  In the Automotive Components 
Division, Precision's operating profit increased 10% compared to the first 
nine months of 1997 as a result of higher sales.  Skeels' operating profit 
was slightly above 1997 levels.  The Specialty Chemicals Division had a 7% 
decrease in operating profit compared to the first nine months of last year 
primarily due to weak results in the Asia Pacific and Latin America areas 
and a slowdown in the subprime lending markets served by the U.S. product 
warranty business. 

Basic earnings per share rose 11% to $1.08 in the first nine months of 
1998 compared to $.97 in the same period in 1997.  The increase in basic 
earnings per share is attributable to the increase in income and a 3% 
decrease in the number of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings 
per share.  The decrease in the number of shares was primarily due to the 
repurchase in April 1997 of 1,650,000 shares of the Company's outstanding 
stock pursuant to a Dutch Auction self-tender offer and repurchases of the 
Company's outstanding stock during the most recent two quarters pursuant to 
the three-year, $15 million share repurchase program.  Diluted earnings per 
share increased in 1998 compared to 1997 for the same reasons as the 
increase in basic earnings per share.


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 from the disposal of WCS' operations have been 
classified on the statements of income as discontinued operations.  Income 
on disposal of discontinued operations of $319,000 in 1997 was attributable 
to adjustments to certain estimated reserves arising from the May 1996 
sale.


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

Working capital at the end of the third quarter was $94.4 million compared 
to $86.5 million at December 31, 1997.  The current ratio at the end of the 
third quarter was 2.51 to 1 compared to 2.41 to 1 at December 31, 1997.  
The Company has adequate cash

and cash equivalents and lines of credit to meet foreseeable working 
capital requirements.

Cash and cash equivalents were $41.0 million at September 30, 1998 
compared to $43.3 million at December 31, 1997.  The decrease in cash and 
cash equivalents was primarily due to $9.0 million used for repurchases of 
the Company's common stock and normal investing and financing activities 
offset by cash provided by operating activities.

Accounts receivable increased $7.0 million to $63.4 million at September 
30, 1998 from $56.4 million at December 31, 1997.  This increase was 
primarily due to the higher sales at Precision and the offering of extended 
terms to certain large customers of the Specialty Chemicals Division.  
Inventories increased $3.0 million to $34.1 million at the end of the third 
quarter of this year compared to $31.0 million at December 31, 1997.  
Inventories increased at the Specialty Chemicals Division, primarily in the 
U.S. professional products division, and increased at Precision, primarily 
at its Tennessee operation and related service center distribution 
warehouses.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company purchased 
$7.1 million of new property, plant and equipment, primarily for the 
Automotive and Industrial Components Division.  The Company anticipates 
that total capital expenditures in 1998 will be between $9 million and $11 
million.

Stockholders' equity at September 30, 1998 was $136.7 million or $7.24 per 
share compared to $127.5 million or $6.63 per share at December 31, 1997.  
The increase of $9.2 million is attributable to net income of $20.8 million 
and $1.0 million from the exercise of stock options, reduced by $3.4 
million of dividends declared, $9.0 million of repurchases of the Company's 
common stock and a $.2 million decrease in the foreign currency translation 
account.


YEAR 2000 MATTERS
- -----------------

The Company recognizes the need to ensure its operations will not be 
adversely impacted by Year 2000 software failures.  In 1996 the Company 
began the necessary change-over of computer systems at its major locations, 
and anticipates the changes will be substantially completed by the end of 
1998.  Certain smaller foreign locations are also presently working toward 
timely implementation of necessary changes.  The costs incurred thus far, 
and expected to be incurred in the future, are not significant.  The 
Company is also working with customers and vendors to determine their 
ability to make the necessary conversions.  Management presently expects 
that, subject to factors beyond the control of the Company, the necessary 
corrections will be completed before the Year 2000 with no effect on 
customers or disruption to business operations.  See Forward-Looking 
Statements.


EURO CURRENCY CONVERSION
- ------------------------

The Euro currency ("Euro") is scheduled to be introduced on January 1, 
1999, at which time the eleven participating European Monetary Union member 
countries will establish irrevocable fixed conversion rates between their 
local currencies and the
                                      10

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Euro.  However, the local currencies in those countries will continue to 
be used as legal tender through January 1, 2002.  Thereafter, the local 
currencies will be canceled and Euro bills and coins will be used for cash 
transactions in the participating countries.  From January 1, 1999 to 
December 31, 2001, companies will be allowed to transact noncash 
transactions in either Euro or the local currency.

The Company and its subsidiaries with operations located in the countries 
participating in the economic and monetary union are currently evaluating 
the Euro conversion and the potential impact on their operations.  At the 
present time, the Company believes the necessary changes and costs incurred 
thus far, and expected to be incurred in the future, are not significant.  
See Forward-Looking Statements.


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 impact of the U.S. dollar exchange rates; the 
anticipated level of capital expenditures; the sufficiency of working 
capital; and the lack of impact of the Year 2000 problem and Euro currency 
conversion on the Company's business operations.

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; currency exchange rates relative to the 
U.S. dollar; the impact of competitive products and pricing; regulatory or 
technical developments or subsequently developed information causing an 
increase in the Company's estimated liability for environmental matters and 
related litigation; the ability of the Company and its vendors and 
customers to successfully resolve any Year 2000 and Euro currency 
conversion issues in their respective businesses; and general economic 
conditions, especially in North America, Western Europe and Asia Pacific 
area.

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