consolidated  statements of operations and the  consolidated  statements of cash
flows for the three  months  ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 have been  prepared by

include  only normal  recurring  adjustments)  necessary  to present  fairly the

     Material costs, primarily recycled paper fiber, have increased
approximately 400% over the past year. Prices for paperboard have increased also
but have generally lagged price increases in raw materials. Cost of steel and
electronic components have increased in the specialty manufacturing business.
These increases have not been passed on fully to customers as of June 30, 1995.
Costs increased in the wireless equipment manufacturing segment due to increased
labor costs associated with the manufacture of certain products in the
Bendix/King product line. These costs are expected to decrease as this product
line is fully absorbed into this segment's facility.

</TABLE>

     The decreases in selling, general and administrative expense is related to
better absorption of fixed expenses and a general effort to reduce
administrative expenses.
                                
Interest Expense

     Interest Expense decreased to 0.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 from
0.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 and increased to 0.9% for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 from 0.7% for the same period of 1994. This decrease
is related to an increase in sales greater than the relative increase in
interest expense. Debt levels have not increased significantly since December
31, 1994.

Investment Income

     Investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was due to the
settlement of a class action suit for a security previous owned by the Company.
 
Income Taxes

     Income taxes represented a 38.0% effective tax rate for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1995. This rate is made up of a 34% federal tax rate and
varying state tax rates. The effective tax rate for 1994 was 37.6%.

Inflation and Changing Prices

     Inflation and changing prices for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
the six months ended June 30, 1994 have contributed to increases in wages,
facility and raw material costs. The Company believes that it will be able to
pass on most of its future inflationary increases to its customers. The wireless
equipment

manufacturing segment is also subject to changing foreign currency exchange
rates in its purchases of raw materials. The Company employs several methods to
protect against increases in costs due to currency fluctuations. It is not
always possible to pass on the effects of currency fluctuations to customers.
However, competition in these markets are subject to similar fluctuations in
product cost.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Working capital decreased by $4,438,000 during the quarter ended June 30,
1995. This decrease was due primarily to the reclassification of the net assets
of the discontinued steel processing segment. The Company has credit available
under its existing lines of credit in excess of $1,000,000.

     Capital expenditures for the first six months of 1995 were $848,000 which
was paid from operating cash flow and bank credit lines.

     Capital expenditures for 1995 for the combined entity are not expected to
exceed $2.5 million. Management expects that capital expenditures will be funded
through operating cash flow and financing sources available to the Company.
Based on the anticipated replacement needs, and expected purchases of equipment
for additional capacity, management expects that capital expenditures will
continue at these levels for the foreseeable future.

     Inventories decreased $8,124,000 due to the reclassification of the
discontinued steel processing.

Discontinued Operations

     In February, 1995 the Company decided to discontinue and dispose of its
real estate development and management segment. Real estate inventories were
written down to their estimated orderly liquidation value as of December 31,
1994.

     On May 23, 1995 the Board of Directors decided to accept an offer to
purchase the stock of Niagara Cold Drawn Corporation for approximately $6.8
million. The sale is expected to be completed by August 19, 1995. The sale of
Niagara Cold Drawn Corporation will result in a gain. The assets of Niagara Cold
Drawn Corporation have been reclassified as Net Assets of Discontinued Segments
and the income has been reclassified as income from discontinued operations.

     Management will consider disposal of subsidiaries that do not earn an
adequate return or fit the long-term goals of the Company.
