RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------

        Net sales in the first nine months of 1994 were 14.8% higher than in
the first nine months of 1993.  The higher net sales resulted from
improvements in the market sectors of the economy in which the Company
operates.

        Gross profit in the first nine months of 1994 increased $44,261
(16.7%) compared to the first nine months of 1993 primarily due to
increased sales in the electrical and communication markets.

        The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the
first nine months of 1994 compared to the first nine months of 1993
occurred largely because of adjustments in personnel complement and
adjustments in compensation and related expenses.

        Interest charges increased in the first nine months of 1994 compared
to the first nine months of 1993 primarily due to increased levels of
borrowing incurred to finance higher levels of inventories and receivables.
Interest rates on 1994 short-term borrowings have been generally higher
than for the same period in 1993.

        The combined effect of the increases in gross profits and other
income, together with increases in selling, general and administrative
expenses, interest charges and depreciation and amortization, resulted in
an increase in pretax earnings prior to the cumulative effect of the
accounting change of $13,649 in the first nine months of 1994 compared to
the same period in 1993.

        The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
Than Pensions", on January 1, 1993 on the immediate recognition basis.  The
after-tax impact of the accounting change decreased nine months 1993
earnings $45,000, or $9.99 per share.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
- - ---------------------------------

       The financial condition of the Company continues to be strong.  At
September 30, 1994, current assets exceeded current liabilities by
$149,786, up $29,867 from December 31, 1993.  The current assets at
September 30, 1994 were sufficient to meet the cash needs required to pay
current liabilities.  The Company does not have any plans or commitments
which would require significant amounts of additional working capital.

        At September 30, 1994, the Company had available to it unused lines
of credit amounting to $112,000.  These lines are available to meet short-
term cash requirements of the Company.  Bank borrowings outstanding during
1994 through September 30 ranged from a minimum of $54,000 to a maximum of
$132,000.

        The Company has funded its capital requirements from operations,
stock issuances to its employees and long term debt.  In May, 1994, the
Company received the proceeds from a ten-year note for $35,000 at a fixed
interest rate of 6.25% with principal payable in five equal annual
installments in each of the years 2000 through 2004.  The note agreement
has various covenants which limit the Company's ability to make
investments, pay dividends, incur debt, dispose of property, and issue
equity securities.  The Company is also required to maintain certain
financial ratios as defined in the agreement.  During the first nine months
of 1994, cash provided by operations amounted to $7,289 which was $18,339
less than the cash provided by operations in the first nine months of 1993.
Cash provided from the sale of common stock and proceeds received on stock
subscriptions amounted to $399 in the first nine months of 1994.
Additional cash of approximately $139 will be provided in the remainder of
1994 as a result of payments to be made for stock subscribed to by
employees under the 1992 Common Stock Purchase Plan.
