_______________________________________________________________________________

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 September 30, 1994 and June 30, 1994, and the results of operations for
   the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, and cash flows for the
   three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.

   The results of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 1994
   are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal
   year.

   Cost of sales for interim financial statements are computed using estimated
   gross profit percentages which are adjusted throughout the year based upon
   available information.  Adjustments to actual cost are made based on the
   annual physical inventory and the effect of year-end inventory quantities on
   LIFO costs.

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
   7,576  and 7,533 for the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993,
   respectively.

3. 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 shares of Bearings, Inc. common
   stock.  The business combination has been accounted for as a pooling of
   interests.

   The Company's reported statements of consolidated income for the quarter
   ended September 30, 1993 have been restated to reflect the Mainline
   acquisition.

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   On October 18, 1994, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of
   $.18 per share payable December 1, 1994, to shareholders of record as of 
   November 15, 1994.  This dividend is a 12.5% increase over the previous 
   regular quarterly rate of $.16, which had been paid for 20 consecutive 
   quarters.

   During October 1994, the Board of Directors awarded 90 shares of Performance
   Accelerated Restricted Stock (PARS) to officers and other key employees.
   This restricted stock award was made under the 1990 Long-Term Performance
   Plan.  PARS plan participants are entitled to receive dividends and have
   voting rights on their respective shares but are restricted from selling or
   transferring the shares prior to vesting.  The restricted stock vests after a
   period of six years, with accelerated vesting based upon achievement of
   certain return on asset objectives or minimum stock price levels.  The
   aggregate fair market value of the restricted stock is considered unearned
   compensation at the time of grant and is amortized over the vesting year
   period or until such time as acceleration of vesting takes place.

          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 September
30, 1994 and June 30, 1994 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 used in operating activities was $2.9 million in the three months ended
September 30, 1994.  This compares to $2.0 million of cash used for operating
activities in the same period a year ago.

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 three
month period ended September 30, 1994 inventories increased approximately $19.2
million.  This increase is primarily attributable to increasing inventory
levels to service the increase in sales volume.  Accounts receivable increased
by $3.8 million from increased sales volume.

Working capital at September 30, 1994 was $148.3 million compared to $144.6
million at June 30, 1994.  The current ratio was 2.2 at September 30, 1994 and
2.4 at June 30, 1994.

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 $91.9 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1994 and $103.0 million during the year ended
June 30, 1994.  The average effective interest rate on the short-term
borrowings for the three months ended September 30, 1994 increased to 5.4%
from an average rate of 4.0% for the year ended June 30, 1994 due to higher
prevailing short-term interest rates.  The Company has $95 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 $23.0 million of borrowings under these
short-term bank lines of credit at September 30, 1994.  Unused bank lines of
credit of $72.0 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.

________________________________________________________________________________

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 AND 1993
- ----------------------------------------------
Increases in sales for the quarter were primarily due to volume increases.
Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased from 25.4% to 25.7%.

Selling, distribution and administrative expenses increased by 11.2% which is
consistent with the sales increase experienced during the quarter.  This
increase was primarily from higher commission and incentive costs related to
improved performance and higher  employee welfare costs due to enhancement of
the 401-K plan.  Additionally, the Company recorded a charge of approximately
$800,000 relating to a workforce reduction in certain corporate service
departments.

Interest expense-net for the quarter increased by 2.3%.  Higher short term
interest rates were partially offset by a decrease in the amount of average
borrowings outstanding during the quarter.  Additionally, the benefit from our
interest rate swap agreements decreased during the quarter due to the increase
in short term interest rates.

Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes were 42.0% in the three
months ended September 30, 1994 and 40.6% in the three months ended September
30, 1993.  The increase is attributed to the increase in Federal tax rates in
the current year and an overall increase in the Company's effective Federal, 
State and local tax rates from non-deductible expenses.

As a result of the above factors, net income increased by 25.9% compared to the
same quarter of last year.

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.  
          -----------------     
          (a)   Registrant incorporates by reference herein the description of 
                the case captioned SAMMIE ADKINS, ET AL. VS. A. P. GREEN 
                INDUSTRIES, INC., ET AL, Summit County, Ohio, Court of Common 
                Pleas, Case No. ACV 88-7-2398 (and related cases) found in 
                Item 3 "Pending Legal Proceedings" contained in the 
                Registrant's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994.
                Notwithstanding possible indemnification from suppliers and 
                insurance, Registrant believes, based upon circumstances 
                presently known, that such cases are not material to its 
                business or its financial condition.

          (b)   On September 20, 1994, Dixie Bearings, Incorporated, a 
                wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, was served with a  
                First Amending and Supplemental Petition in a case captioned 
                IN RE: ROBERT LEE BICKHAM, ET AL. V. METROPOLITAN LIFE 
                INSURANCE COMPANY, ET AL., 22nd Judicial District Court for 
                the Parish of Washington, State of Louisiana, Case Number 
                70,760-E, naming it as an additional defendant, along with over
                50 other defendants.  The action was initially filed on 
                October 20, 1993.  The petition is one for class action and 
                claims to have been filed on behalf of 1,117 persons or heirs 
                of persons who were allegedly exposed to asbestos-containing 
                products while employed at the Bogalusa, Louisiana, Paper Mill 
                and/or Box factory, currently known as Gaylord Container, Inc.
                Exposure is claimed to have occurred until approximately 1989.
                Compensatory and punitive damages are sought, but no amount 
                is specified.

                Preliminary information made available to the Registrant 
                indicates that Dixie Bearings, Incorporated has been named a  
                defendant in this case only as a supplier of certain products 
                manufactured by another entity, which products allegedly  
                contained a small percentage of encapsulated asbestos fiber.  
                The proceedings as they relate to Dixie Bearings, Incorporated 
                are in their preliminary stages, however, the Registrant 
                believes based upon circumstances presently known that this 
                case is not material to its business or financial condition.  
                The Registrant intends to defend the class allegations and the 
                merits of each plaintiff's case vigorously. Even if liability

<PAGE>   13
               were assessed, the Registrant would seek to recover 
               indemnification from its suppliers and its insurance carriers.

         (c)   Registrant also incorporates by reference herein the 
               description of the case captioned KING BEARING, INC. VS. CARYL 
               EDMUND ORANGES, ET AL., Superior Court of the State of 
               California, County of Orange, Case No. 53-42-31 found in Item 3 
               "Pending Legal Proceedings" contained in the Registrant's Form 
               10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994. The case is now 
               pending in the California Court of Appeal.  Registrant believes 
               that such case will have no material adverse effect on its
               business or financial condition.

         officers of the Registrant:

         M. L. Coticchia      Assistant Secretary
         A. M. Krupa          Assistant Treasurer
</TABLE>

   (c)   AWARDS OF PERFORMANCE-ACCELERATED RESTRICTED STOCK.
         --------------------------------------------------

         Also in October 1994, the Board of Directors awarded a total of
         90,000 shares of Performance-Accelerated Restricted Stock ("PARS")
         under the 1990 Long-Term Performance Plan to the Registrant's
         executive officers and certain other key management personnel.  The
         PARS are awards of restricted shares of the Registrant's Common Stock,
         which shares vest six years from the date of grant.  If, however,
         certain Registrant performance hurdles are met, the PARS will vest at
         an earlier date.  Fifty percent of the PARS vest on reaching either a
         pre-tax return on assets ("ROA") of 10% or a stock price of $46.00 per
         share for ten consecutive trading days.  The remaining fifty percent
         vest on reaching either an ROA of 12% or a stock price of $54.00 per
         share for ten consecutive trading days.  No new stock option or PARS
         awards may be made to the PARS recipients until 100% of the
         outstanding PARS vest, either by meeting the performance hurdles or by
         passage of the six-year term, and in no event can new awards be made
         for two years following the date of award of the outstanding PARS.
