                             (Dollars in thousands)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have
been included.  Operating results for the  quarter and six months ended June 30,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1995.  For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported financial
statements to conform to current classifications.

In accordance with quasi-reorganization accounting principles, the Company
elected to adjust its December 31, 1991 balance sheet to fair value and
transferred the accumulated deficit of $14,094 to capital in excess of par.

Per share data for the periods are based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during such periods.  Outstanding common stock options
have not been included in the computation of earnings per share as their
exercise would not have a material dilutive effect.

Total interest paid for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 was $1,024
and $1,204 respectively.  The Company had net income tax payments of $51 and $30
for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------
Effective September 30, 1994, the Company adopted a plan to dispose of all of
its Electronic Components business.  The disposal is being accounted for as a
discontinued operation, and, accordingly, the related net assets and operating
results have been reported separately from continuing operations.  During 1995,
the Company sold the remaining product line of this business for $1,500.  The
loss from operations of the discontinued Electronic Components business in 1995
of $64 was charged to reserves established in the prior year for anticipated
operating losses until disposal.

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
     Net sales for the second quarter of 1995 increased by $1,018, or 6%,
compared to the same period in 1994.

     The Motion Control group's sales (motors, sensors and controls) decreased
slightly in 1995 by $189, or 3%, as compared to 1994.  This decrease was
primarily due to lower shipments of synchros resulting from a consolidation of
inventory at Government depots and manufacturing and purchasing inefficiencies
affecting the resolver and motor product lines.  These inefficiencies are
considered temporary and should be corrected in the third quarter of 1995.
These lower sales were partially offset by higher electromagnetic sub-system
sales resulting from new product introductions which did not begin to generate
significant sales volume until the second half of 1994 and higher potentiometer
sales resulting from greater operating efficiencies due to changes in product
line management and the relocation of the product line from Deer Park, New York
to St. Petersburg, Florida during the first quarter of 1994.  Bookings were
$7,194 in the second quarter of 1995, an increase of $2,349, or 48%, compared to
the comparable quarter in 1994, primarily due to higher foreign bookings for
industrial resolvers resulting from an increased focus on foreign market
opportunities, higher motor orders resulting from new Government program awards,
and higher potentiometer orders due to improved sales/marketing management.  The
nature of the Motion Control group's bookings results in an uneven pattern from
quarter to quarter and does not necessarily reflect overall business trends.
Backlog at June 30, 1995 was $14,216, compared to $12,621 at December 31, 1994.

     The Industrial Components group's sales (bearings and connectors) increased
in 1995 by $1,207, or 13%, compared to 1994.  Sales of bearings and connectors
were up by 10% and 17%, respectively, primarily due to new and increased
activity with original equipment manufacturers ("OEM's") and the introduction of
new and/or enhanced products.   Industrial Component's bookings for the quarter
were $10,102, an increase of $452, or 5%, compared to 1994.  This increase is
primarily in bearings and is due to increased OEM activity.  Backlog at June 30,
1995 was $11,268, compared to $10,387 at December 31, 1994.

                                        9

<PAGE>

     Operating income was $1,095 in 1995, as compared to $1,122 in 1994,
representing a $27 decrease.  This decrease was primarily due to lower gross
margins resulting from an unfavorable sales mix in both business groups and
higher raw material costs in the Industrial Components group as well as higher
selling, general and administrative expenses.  These unfavorable variances were
partially offset by the gross margin earned on the incremental Industrial
Components group sales.  Overall, gross margin on sales was 27.6% in 1995, down
from 28.2% in 1994.  However, productivity, as measured by value-added per
employee, increased 8% to approximately $18.7 in 1995 from approximately $17.4
in 1994.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $203 in 1995
primarily due to higher medical costs and the addition of sales personnel.

     Interest expense declined by $112 in 1995 as a result of lower average
borrowings due primarily to the repurchase of the Company's bank indebtedness at
a discount in the third quarter of 1994.  This was partially offset by higher
interest rates.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

     Net sales for the first half of 1995 increased by $2,985, or 10%, compared
to the same period in 1994.

     The Motion Control group's sales (motors, sensors and controls) increased
in 1995 by $481, or  4%, as compared to 1994.  This increase was primarily due
to higher electromagnetic sub-system sales resulting from new product
introductions which did not begin to generate significant sales volume until the
second half of 1994 and higher potentiometer sales resulting from greater
operating efficiency in the current period (see discussion of quarter ended June
30, 1995).  These higher shipments were partially offset by lower shipments of
synchros resulting from a consolidation of inventory at Government depots, lower
resolver sales due to the shipment of certain large orders in the first quarter
of 1994 and manufacturing and purchasing inefficiencies effecting the resolver
and motor product lines.  Bookings were $14,642  in 1995, an increase of $3,009,
or 26%, compared to 1994, primarily due to higher foreign orders for industrial
resolvers and higher motor and potentiometer orders.  The nature of the Motion
Control group's bookings results in an uneven pattern from quarter to quarter
and does not necessarily reflect overall business trends.

     The Industrial Components group's sales (bearings and connectors) increased
in 1995 by $2,504, or 14%, compared to 1994.  Sales of bearings and connectors
were up by 13% and 14%, respectively.  Industrial Component's bookings were
$21,584, an increase of $2,224, or 12%, compared to 1994.  Both the increase in
sales and bookings reflect favorable economic conditions (particularly in the
first quarter of 1995), new and increased activity with OEM's and the
introduction of new and/or enhanced products.

     Operating income was $2,097, in 1995, as compared to $1,669 in 1994,
representing a $428 increase.  This increase was primarily due to the gross
margin earned on the incremental sales volume

in both business groups and cost reductions in the Motion Control group
resulting from restructuring actions completed during 1994, which were partially
offset by an unfavorable sales mix in the Motion Control group, higher raw
material costs in the Industrial Components group and higher selling, general
and administrative expenses.  Overall, gross margin on sales was 27.6 % in 1995,
up from 26.7% in 1994.  Productivity, as measured by value-added per employee,
increased 16% to approximately $37.6 in 1995 from approximately $32.4 in 1994.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $673 in 1995
primarily due to higher medical costs, the addition of sales personnel and the
reinstatement of certain profit sharing provisions.

     Interest expense declined by $217 in the first half of 1995 as a result of
lower average borrowings due primarily to the repurchase of the Company's bank
indebtedness at a discount in the third quarter of 1994.  This was partially
offset by higher interest rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
     The Company believes that its $17.5 million credit facility and cash
generated from operations  will be sufficient to meet its future capital
expenditure and working capital requirements and required debt amortization.

     The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of June
30, 1995.
