                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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, 1995 and June 30, 1995, and the
         results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
         September 30, 1995 and 1994.

         The results of operations for the three month period ended September
         30, 1995 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 7,814 and 7,576 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and
         1994, respectively.

3.       BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

         During the quarter ended September 30, 1995 the Company acquired two
         distributors of drive products and rubber products, for a total of
         $4,328.  The acquisitions of these businesses were accounted for as
         purchases and their results of operations are included in the
         accompanying consolidated financial statements from their respective
         acquisition dates.  Results of operations for these acquisitions are
         not material for all periods presented.  Goodwill recognized in
         connection with these combinations is being amortized over 15 years.

          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 the Company's: (1) financial condition at September
30, 1995 and June 30, 1995 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 $3.8 million in the three months ended
September 30, 1995.  This compares to $2.9 million of cash used in 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, 1995 inventories increased approximately $ 8.9
million and accounts receivable increased by $1.8 million.  These increases are
primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume.

Working capital at September 30, 1995 was $157.0 million compared to $153.6
million at June 30, 1995.  The current ratio was 2.3 at September 30, 1995 and
2.4 at June 30, 1995.

Capital Resources
- -----------------
Capital resources are obtained from income retained in the business, borrowings
under the Company's lines of credit and long-term debt.

Average combined short-term and long-term borrowing was $99.9 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 and $97.9 million during the year ended
June 30, 1995.  The average effective interest rate on the short-term
borrowings for the three months ended September 30, 1995 increased to 6.2%
from an average rate of 5.9% for the year ended June 30, 1995 due to higher
prevailing short-term interest rates.  The Company has $105 million of
short-term lines of credit with commercial banks which provide for payment of
interest at various interest rate options, none of which are in excess of the
banks' prime rate.  The Company had $34.9 million of borrowings under these
short-term bank lines of credit at September 30, 1995.  Unused bank lines of
credit of $70.1 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

                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

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

Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994
- ----------------------------------------------
Increases in sales for the quarter were primarily due to volume and price
increases.  Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased from 25.7% to
25.3%

Selling, distribution and administrative expenses increased by 4.8% from
higher commission and incentive costs related to improved performance and
higher employee welfare and hospitalization costs.

Interest expense-net for the quarter increased by 30.0% from higher short-term
interest rates, higher amounts of borrowing outstanding and the amortized
expense of terminating the interest rate swap.  During fiscal 1995, the Company
terminated a two year interest rate swap agreement initiated in fiscal 1994.
As of September 30, 1995 deferred interest cost of $.5 million from this
termination remains to be amortized to interest expense over the term of the
original swap agreement.  The Company has no outstanding swap agreements or
other derivative financial instruments at September 30, 1995.

Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes was 43.0% in the three
months ended September 30, 1995 and 42.0% in the three months ended September
30, 1994.

As a result of the above factors, net income increased by 45.2% compared to the
same quarter of last year.  Income per share increased by 40.0% due to an
increase in income and the increase in the average shares outstanding.
