1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
   financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
   recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as
   of March 31, 1994 and June 30, 1993, and the results of operations for the
   three months and nine months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, and cash flows
   for the nine months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.

   The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended March
   31, 1994  are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
   the fiscal year.

   For its interim statements of consolidated income the Company uses estimated
   gross profit percentages to compute cost of sales.  Adjustments to actual
   cost are made  based on the annual physical inventory.

2. NET INCOME PER SHARE

   Net income per share was computed using the weighted average number of common
   shares outstanding for the period.

   Average shares outstanding for the computation of net income per share were
   as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
       Three Months Ended            Nine Months Ended

</TABLE>

3. INVENTORY

   Effective July 1, 1993 the Company changed its application of the Last-In,
   First-Out (LIFO) method used to determine its inventory amounts for financial
   reporting purposes.  This change revised the Company's LIFO pools to
   establish Company-wide inventory pools for each of the major classes of
   products.  Previously the LIFO inventory pools were established by legal
   entity, rather than by class of product.  Management believes that using
   inventory pools grouped by product is more consistent with how the Company
   currently manages its operations and will more accurately measure the effects
   of changes in inventory levels and costs.

   The cumulative effect on previous years from this change in LIFO pools is not
   determinable.  Through March 31, 1994 this change has had no significant
   effect on the Company's results of operations for the current fiscal year.

4. INCOME TAXES

   The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
   109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective July 1, 1993.  This Statement
   supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11.  As permitted by SFAS
   No. 109, the Company has elected not to restate the financial statements of
   any prior years.  There was no significant cumulative effect on the
   Statements of Consolidated Income for adopting SFAS 109.

   Deferred income taxes reflect the estimated future tax consequences of (a)
   temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
   for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes
   and (b) tax credit carryforwards.  The significant components of the
   Company's net deferred tax liability as of July 1, 1993 are as follows:

6. PERFORMANCE ACCELERATED RESTRICTED COMMON STOCK

  During the quarter ended March 31, 1994, accelerated vesting occurred for the
  remaining half of the outstanding performance accelerated restricted common
  stock (PARS).  Previously, these PARS shares had been vesting over a six year
  period.  With the acceleration of vesting, additional expense relating to
  amortization of PARS compensation of $1,126 was recorded in the quarter ended
  March 31, 1994.  Net of income taxes this charge decreased net income by
  $676, or $.09 per share.  Additional accelerated vesting also occurred in the
  quarter ended December 31, 1993.  For the nine months ended March 31, 1994,
  total additional expense relating to accelerated vesting of PARS amortization
  was $2,126.  Net of income taxes, this additional expense reduced net income
  for the nine months ended March 31, 1994 by $1,276, or $.17 per share.

7. BUSINESS COMBINATION

   On March 10, 1994, the Company acquired Mainline Industrial Distributors,
   Inc., a high quality applied technology distributor of drive systems, rubber
   products and bearings in exchange for 196,000 shares of Bearings, Inc. common
   stock.  The business combination has been accounted for as a pooling of
   interests.  The Company's previously reported statements of consolidated
   income have been restated to reflect the Mainline acquisition for the current
   fiscal year.  The prior years' consolidated financial statements have not
   been restated because the effects are not material.

   Net sales and net income for the separate companies prior to the acquisition
   are as follows:

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

- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is Management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected: (1) the Company's financial condition at March 31,
1994 and June 30, 1993 and (2) results of operations during the periods
included in the accompanying Statements of Consolidated Income and Consolidated
Cash Flows.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Working Capital
- - -----------------------------
Cash provided from operating activities was $13.4 million in the nine months
ended March 31, 1994.  This compares to $11.2 million of cash provided from
operating activities in the same period a year ago.  Increases in cash received
from customers, resulting from increased sales, were partially offset by
increased payments to suppliers and employees.  During the nine months ended
March 31, 1994 cash generated from operating activities were used for the
purchase of property, purchase of common stock for treasury and dividend
payments.

Cash flow from operations depends primarily upon generating operating income
and controlling the investment in inventory and receivables.  The Company has
continuing programs to monitor and control these investments.  During the nine
month period ended March 31, 1994 inventories increased, net of the effect of
adopting SFAS No. 109, approximately $13.6 million. Inventories increased by
$.4 million in the same period a year ago.  This increase is primarily
attributed to increasing inventory levels to service the increase in sales
volume.  Accounts receivable increased by $15.0 million from increased sales
volume.

Working capital at March 31, 1994 was $139.2 million compared to $130.9 million
at June 30, 1993.  The current ratio was 2.3 at March 31, 1994 and 2.4 at June
30, 1993.

Capital Resources
- - -----------------
Capital resources are obtained from income retained in the business, borrowings
under the Company's lines of credit and long-term debt, and to a lesser extent,
from operating lease arrangements.

Average combined short-term and long-term borrowing was $104.8 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 1994 and $107.7 million during the year ended June
30, 1993.  The average effective interest rate on the short-term borrowings for
the nine months ended March 31, 1994 decreased to 3.8%  from an average rate of
4.0% for the year ended June 30, 1993 due to lower prevailing short-term
interest rates.  The Company has $90 million of short-term lines of credit with
commercial banks which provide for payment of interest at various interest rate
options, none of which is in excess of the banks' prime rate.  The Company had
$29.2 million of borrowings under these short-term bank lines of credit at
March 31, 1994.  Unused bank lines of credit of $60.8 million are available for
future short-term financing needs.

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

- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Management expects that capital resources provided from operations, available
lines of credit and long-term debt will be sufficient to finance normal working
capital needs and capital expenditure programs.  Management also believes that
additional long-term debt and line-of-credit financing could be obtained if
desired.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the quarter the Company completed the acquisition of Mainline Industrial
Distributors, Inc., of Appleton, Wisconsin in exchange for 196,000 shares of
Bearings, Inc. common stock.   This acquisition is being accounted for as a
pooling of interests.  Mainline is a high quality applied technology
distributor of drive systems, rubber products and bearings with nine branches -
seven in Wisconsin, one in Minneapolis and one in Elmhurst, Illinois.  Mainline
accounted for $9,100,000 of sales during the current quarter and $24,900,000 of
sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1994.  Approximately, $700,000 of
non-recurring costs resulting from this business combination were expensed
during the quarter.  The Company's previously reported statements of
consolidated income were restated for the current fiscal year.  Prior years'
financial statements were not restated because the effects on the results of
operations, financial position and cash flows were not material.

A summary of the period-to-period changes in principal items included in the
statements of consolidated income follows:

                    CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 AND 1993
Increases in sales for the quarter were primarily due to volume increases and
the acquisition of Mainline.  Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased
from 25.9% to 27.3% from an adjustment of estimated year-to-date costs used to
determine cost of sales.

Selling, distribution and administrative expenses increased by 20.0% from
higher incentive costs due to the implementation of a new sales commission
program for account representatives and sales management, increased advertising
costs due to additional marketing programs, higher rental expense due to the
leasing of a new mainframe computer, costs associated with the acquisition of
Mainline and the vesting of performance accelerated restricted stock (PARS)
based upon the price performance of the Company's common stock during the
quarter.

Interest expense-net for the quarter decreased by 13.0% through a combination
of lower short-term interest rates, lower average indebtedness and offsets of
interest expense from interest rate swap agreements.

Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes were 43.7% in the three
months ended March 31, 1994 and 39.6% in the three months ended March 31, 1993.
The increase is attributed to the increase in Federal tax rates in the current
year and an overall increase in our effective Federal, State and local tax
rates from non-deductible expenses.

As a result of the above factors, net income increased by 21.4% compared to the
same quarter of last year.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 AND 1993
Increases in sales for the period were principally due to volume increases and
the acquisition of Mainline.  Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased
from 25.6% to 26.7% from higher purchase discounts and allowances and an
adjustment of estimated year-to-date costs used to determine cost of sales.

Selling, distribution and administrative expenses increased by 15.8% from
higher 401-K contributions due to an enhancement of the 401-K plan, higher
incentive costs due to the implementation of a new sales commission program for
account representatives and sales management, higher rental expense due to the
leasing of a new mainframe computer, costs associated with the acquisition of
Mainline, increased advertising costs due to additional marketing programs and
the vesting of the PARS based upon the price performance of the Company's
common stock during the period.

Interest expense - net for the period increased 18.9% as a result of the
issuance of $80 million of long-term debt in December of 1992 and repayment of
previously existing short-term debt.  As long-term interest rates are higher
than short-term interest rates, interest expense increased.  The increased
expense was partially offset by net interest earned under interest rate swap
agreements and lower average borrowings during the period.

Income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes were 41.2% in the
nine months ended March 31, 1994 and 40.2% in the nine months ended March 31,
1993.  This increase  is primarily due to higher effective Federal tax rates.

- - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result of the above factors, net income increased by 34.8% compared to the
same period of last year.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTARY
Improved operating results for the period were achieved through improvement in
sales  and higher gross margins.  The Company should achieve further sales
gains compared with prior year during the final quarter of its fiscal year
ended June 30, 1994.
