             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


    Note 1. The accompanying financial statements for the three months
            ended March 28, 1999 have been prepared, without audit,
            pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
            Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
            disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
            in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
            have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
            regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures
            are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
            The condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes
            should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
            statements of the Company included in the Company's Annual
            Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 1998. 

            The consolidated balance sheet at December 27, 1998 has been
            derived from the audited financial statements at that date and
            condensed.

    Note 2. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments
            (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are,
            in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation
            of the results of operations for the interim period. Results of
            operations for the three months ended March 28, 1999 are not
            necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire
            year.

    Note 3. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in,
            first-out method) or market.  A summary of the inventories
            follows:

                                         ============       ============

            Included in inventory above were cores of $2.9 million
            (March 28, 1999) and $2.6 million (December 27, 1998).

    Note 4. For reporting purposes, product and core returns are offset
            against gross sales in arriving at net sales. Net returns
            for the quarter ending March 28, 1999 were $2,875,000 versus
            $2,333,000 during the same period in 1998.

    Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
             AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 28, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
    MARCH 29, 1998

    Net sales for the quarter ended March 28, 1999 were $7,005,000, or
    $4,000 lower than net sales of $7,009,000 for the same period of 1998.
    Gross rebuilding sales increased $623,000, or 7% over 1998  reflecting
    an increase in carburetor business with existing customers and increased
    constant velocity joint sales to a new original equipment customer.
    Partially offsetting these increases were lower heavy-duty and domestic
    passenger car product sales reflecting soft orders from two large OEM
    customers.  Total product and core returns, which are reflected in
    reductions to net sales, were 29% and 25% of gross sales in the first
    quarter 1999 and 1998, respectively.  The higher return percentage in
    1999 is a function of the increase in product return volume for the
    quarter, which offset the gain in gross sales.  The Company has a
    customer product return policy to control product and core returns.
    It has also established reserves against expected future declining core
    values.  However, there can be no assurance that these reserves will be
    adequate.

    Carburetor sales were 78% and 77% of net sales in the first quarter of
    1999 and 1998, respectively.  The Company continues to be a significant
    supplier of carburetors to the aftermarket.  Although new vehicles sold
    in the United States and Canada are no longer equipped with carburetors,
    the Company continues to sell replacement units for older vehicles, many
    of which use carburetors.  The Company expects that carburetor sales
    will decline in future years.  In addition, carburetor margins may be
    negatively impacted in the future as customers seek to return product
    during periods of declining demand.

    Cost of products sold were $5,869,000, or 83.8% of net sales in the
    first quarter of 1999 compared to $5,694,000, or 81.3% in the first
    quarter of 1998.  This increase in the cost of products sold as a
    percent of net sales is primarily attributed to significantly higher
    direct labor costs incurred to meet shipping demand for carburetors.
    Reductions in manufacturing overhead expenses Company-wide helped to
    partially reduce the unfavorable labor variances.

    Selling, distribution and administrative expenses were $716,000 in
    the first quarter of 1999 compared to $770,000 in the first quarter
    of 1998.  The $56,000 improvement over the same period in 1998
    reflects lower administrative spending as a result of Company-wide
    cost control efforts, and lower professional fees. 
 
    Interest expense was $155,000 in the first quarter of 1999 as compared
    to $248,000 in the same period of 1998.  This reduction is due to
    significantly lower interest and fees under the new loan facility, as
    well as reduction in the amount of debt outstanding.

    As a result of increased cost of goods sold, net income for the 1999
    first quarter was $267,000, or 15% lower than net income of $314,000
    in the first quarter of 1998.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    WORKING CAPITAL

    Net working capital at March 28, 1999 was a negative $840,000,
    compared to a negative $861,000 at the end of 1998, and a negative
    $6,632,000 for the first quarter of 1998.  The improvement in working
    capital over first quarter 1998 is primarily a reflection of stating
    the new four-year loan under long-term debt as compared to current
    maturities of long-term debt for the prior facility, which was in
    default.  This increase also reflects reclassification of $1,000,000
    of the Hope facility $1,300,000 Industrial Revenue Bond to long-term
    debt, since the bond documents had cross-default provisions.  The
    $300,000 due on December 1, 1999 is reflected in the current maturities
    of long-term debt.

    Accounts receivable at March 28,1999, were $4,558,000, or $143,000 (3%)
    lower versus the year-end 1998 balance of $4,701,000.  Receivables were
    also $1,036,000 lower compared to the March 29,1998 ending balance.
    The decrease was due to higher collection volume in the first quarter
    of 1999.

    At March 29, 1999, net inventories were lower by $126,000, compared to
    year-end fiscal 1998, due primarily to reductions in work-in-process
    and finished goods inventories.  Net inventories also decreased by
    $313,000 in the first quarter of 1999 versus first quarter 1998 for
    the same the same reason.

    Accounts payable at the end of the first fiscal quarter were $818,000
    less than year-end 1998.  The decrease reflects lower expenses and a
    reduction in payables for raw materials.  Accounts payable were also
    $1,440,000 less than the same quarter ending in March 1998.  Accrued
    expenses and other payables at the end of the fiscal quarter were
    $792,000 higher than fiscal year-end 1998.  Accounting for this is a
    $413,000 increase in salaries, wages and benefits, and a $216,000
    increase in accrued reserve for carburetor returns during future
    periods of declining demand.  

    The amount outstanding for the loans under the NationsCredit line
    was $3,203,000 on March 29, 1999 versus $3,503,000 for loans
    outstanding on December 27, 1998.

    DEBT

    On August 6, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with
    NationsCredit Commercial Corporation for a four-year credit facility
    to replace its bank financing.  At March 29,1999 the balance
    outstanding on the new facility was $3,203,000 plus letter of credit
    accommodations of $1,993,000.  This compares to a loan balance at
    December 27, 1998 of $3,503,000 and accommodations of $2,193,000.

    The Company is continuing discussions with certain other unsecured
    creditors with past due balances to restructure approximately
    $1,800,000 of associated indebtedness upon substantially the same
    terms as the settlement with the trade creditors.  There is no
    assurance that any of these creditors will accept the proposal.

    FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

    This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are
    subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the
    following:

    The Company expects the existing over-capacity in the automotive
    aftermarket and consolidation within its distribution channels to
    cause continued selling price pressure for the foreseeable future.
    The present competitive environment is causing change in traditional
    aftermarket distribution channels resulting in volume retailers gaining
    additional market presence at the expense of traditional wholesalers.
    In response, the Company has attempted to diversify its customer base
    and currently serves all major segments, including automotive warehouse
    distributors and jobbers, original equipment manufacturers of automotive
    equipment and large volume automotive retailers.  The anticipated
    decline in sales from the profitable carburetor product line over the
    longer term will impact future results.  The Company intends to offset
    these impacts through development of niche product markets, new product
    development, improvements in its manufacturing processes and cost
    containment with a strong focus on capacity utilization. There is
    no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful. 

    The Company's six largest customers accounted for an aggregate of 98%
    of the Company's total sales in first quarter of 1999.  Given the
    Company's current financial condition and its manufacturing cost
    structure, the loss of a large customer would have a materially
    adverse impact on the Company's financial condition and results
    of operations.  

    While the Company has established reserves for potential environmental
    liabilities that it believes to be adequate, there can be no assurance
    that the reserves will be adequate to cover actual costs incurred or
    that the Company will not incur additional environmental liabilities
    in the future.

    There can be no assurance that the impact of the Year 2000 issue will
    not have a materially adverse impact on the Company's results. See
    "Year 2000 Compliance" for additional information.

    Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those set forth
    in the forward-looking statements.

    YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

    In 1997, the Company initiated a project to address Year 2000 issues
    and then develop and implement a Year 2000 readiness plan.  The first
    phase of the readiness plan was to address its current computer
    systems and upgrade them to Year 2000 compliance.  The Company elected
    to embark on a system and hardware conversion utilizing certified
    Year 2000 systems technology on a Year 2000 compliant operating
    platform.  The initial implementation of systems and hardware was
    completed in the first Quarter of 1999.

    In addition, as a part of the first phase of the readiness plan, the
    Company completed an inventory of the software applications currently
    running on its personal computers.  A plan is being developed to
    upgrade, where necessary, all applications software to be Year 2000
    compliant by the third quarter of 1999. 

    The Company has analyzed its products and non-IT systems such as
    imbedded chips in production equipment, and found that there are no
    material Year 2000 issues.

    The second phase of the readiness project is to address Year 2000
    issues with significant customers, vendors and service providers,
    including electronic commerce.  This phase is in an audit and inquiry
    phase, and is approximately 75% complete.  There can be no assurance
    that the systems of other companies and service providers that
    interact with the Company will be sufficiently Year 2000 compliant so
    as to avoid an adverse impact on the Company's operations, financial
    condition and results of operations.  Phase two is estimated to be
    completed at the end of the second Quarter of 1999.  There are no
    significant costs associated with this phase. 

    The third and final phase of this project will be completed before
    the end of the third Quarter of 1999.  The company expects to resolve
    all internal Year 2000 issues and finalize testing of modifications
    during this phase.  The Company intends to develop a contingency plan
    to be completed by the end of the third quarter to address a worst case
    scenario for unresolved Year 2000 issues with customers, vendors and
    service providers.

    The Company does not presently anticipate that the costs to address
    the Year 2000 issue will have a material adverse impact on the
    Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
    Present estimated costs for remediation are as follows:

                                    Prior Fiscal Years  Fiscal 1999
                                    ------------------  -----------
