MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
(Dollars Stated in Thousands)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Net sales in the first three months of 1996 were 10.3% higher than in the
first three months of 1995. The higher net sales resulted from improvements
in the market sectors of the economy in which the Company operates.
Gross profit in the first three months of 1996 increased $8,755 (7.6%)
compared to the first three months of 1995 primarily due to increased sales in
the electrical and communication markets.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the first
three months of 1996 compared to the first three months of 1995 occurred
largely because of adjustments in personnel complement and adjustments in
compensation and related expenses.
Interest expense increased in the first three months of 1996 compared to
the first three months of 1995 primarily due to increased levels of borrowing
incurred to finance higher aggregate levels of inventory and receivables.
The combined effect of the increase in gross profits and the decrease in
other income, together with increases in selling, general and administrative
expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, resulted in a
decrease in pretax earnings of $1,056 in the first three months of 1996
compared to the same period in 1995.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
(Dollars Stated in Thousands)
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
- ---------------------------------
The financial condition of the Company continues to be strong. At March
31, 1996, current assets exceeded current liabilities by $164,454, up $8,573
from December 31, 1995. The current assets at March 31, 1996 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 March 31, 1996, the Company had available to it unused lines of credit
amounting to $163,000. These lines are available to meet short-term cash
requirements of the Company. Bank borrowings outstanding during 1996 through
March 31 ranged from a minimum of $89,000 to a maximum of $168,000.
The Company has funded its capital requirements from operations, stock
issuances to its employees and long term debt. During the first three months
of 1996, cash provided by operations amounted to $14,922 compared to $22,256
cash used by operations in the first three months of 1995. Cash provided from
the sale of common stock and proceeds received on stock subscriptions amounted
to $7,497 in the first three months of 1996. Additional cash of approximately
$404 will be provided in the remainder of 1996 as a result of payments to be
made for stock subscribed to by employees under the 1995 Common Stock Purchase
Plan.
