                         (Dollars Stated in Thousands)



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

      Net sales in the first six months of 1995 were 20.2% higher than in
the first six months of 1994.  The higher net sales resulted from
improvements in the market sectors of the economy in which the Company
operates.

      Gross profit in the first six months of 1995 increased $37,721 (18.9%)
compared to the first six months of 1994 primarily due to increased sales
in the electrical and communication markets.

      The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the
first six months of 1995 compared to the first six months of 1994 occurred
largely because of adjustments in personnel complement and adjustments in
compensation and related expenses.

      Interest charges increased in the first six months of 1995 compared
to the first six months of 1994 primarily due to increased levels of
borrowing incurred to finance higher aggregate levels of inventory and
receivables.  Interest rates on 1995 short-term borrowings have been
higher than for the same period in 1994.

      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 of $10,378 in the first six months of 1995
compared to the same period in 1994.

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

      The financial condition of the Company continues to be strong.  At
June 30, 1995, current assets exceeded current liabilities by $148,132, up
$11,998 from December 31, 1994.  The current assets at June 30, 1995 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 June 30, 1995, the Company had available to it unused lines of
credit amounting to $133,000.  These lines are available to meet short-term
cash requirements of the Company.  Bank borrowings outstanding during 1995
through June 30 ranged from a minimum of $77,000 to a maximum of $151,000.

      The Company has funded its capital requirements from operations, stock
issuances to its employees and long term debt.  In February, 1995, the
Company received the proceeds from a ten-year note for $4,000 at a fixed
interest rate of 8.53% with principal payable in quarterly installments
beginning in June, 1995.  In April, 1995, the Company received the proceeds
from a five-year note for $10,000 at a fixed interest rate of 7.67% with
principal payable in five equal annual installments beginning in April,
1996.  During the first six months of 1995, cash used by operations
amounted to $26,396 which was $31,864 less than the cash provided by
operations in the first six months of 1994.  Cash provided from the sale
of common stock and proceeds received on stock subscriptions amounted to
$201 in the first six months of 1995.  Additional cash of approximately
$246 will be provided in the remainder of 1995 as a result of payments to
be made for stock subscribed to by employees under the 1992 Common Stock
Purchase Plan.
