Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements:
The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared
by the Company without audit, and in the opinion of management, reflect
all the adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's results
of operations for the period. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual
report.
Net Income Per Share
The computation of primary earnings per common and common equivalent share
is based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and
additional shares assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options. The
computation of fully diluted earnings per share further assumes conversion
of the variable interest rate convertible debentures.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales revenue for the third quarter, as well as for the nine months
of 1996, was higher than the same period in 1995. Sales revenue for
the third quarter of 1996 was $9,630,000, an increase of 15.0 percent
over the $8,374,000 level in 1995. For the nine months of 1996, sales
revenue was $33,015,000 which represents a 6.1 percent increase over
the same period in 1995 of $31,128,000. Included in the sales number
for 1996 are revenues of $656,000 for the third quarter and $1,645,000
for the nine months which is attributable to Latshaw's acquisition and
operation of the assets of I.H. Molding, Inc. in Dallas, Texas. This
acquisition was completed in September of 1995. Excluding the I.H.
Molding revenue, comparable year-to-year divisional sales increased
7.2 percent and 0.8 percent for the three month and nine month priod,
respectively. Improving general economic conditions appear to be the
primary reason for this increased demand for Company products.
Gross profit in the third quarter of 1996 was 19.7 percent versus 18.0
percent for the same period in 1995. This improvement resulted from
operating efficiencies due to the higher sales volume. For the nine
months of both 1996 and 1995 gross profit was 22.3 percent.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter and
the nine months of 1996 were higher when compared to the same periods
in 1995. However, as a percentage of sales, these costs were equal to
or lower in 1996 than in 1995. The higher costs in 1996 were primarily
the result of increases in commissions and performance bonuses based
upon improved sales and expenses associated with the purchase of
I.H. Molding.
Interest expense was $94,000 for the third quarter of 1996 compared
to $124,000 for the same period a year earlier. For the nine months in
1996, interest expense was $414,000 versus $368,000 in 1995. The lower
interest expense in the third quarter of 1996 was due to the Company's
repayment of bank borrowings in reduction of its existing bank lines
of credit and lower interest rates. The higher costs for the nine months
in 1996 were primarily due to additional debt incurred to meet working
capital needs during the year plus bank borrowings used to fund the purchase
of the I.H. Molding assets in September of 1995.
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The Company adopted the
provisions of the new standard for investments held as of or acquired
after October 30, 1994. Under SFAS No. 115, marketable equity securities
held by the Company are classified as available for sale. Available for
sale securities are carried at fair market value, with the unrealized
gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of share-
holders' equity.
The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 1996 and 1995
was 37.0 and 37.2 percent, respectively.
The Company had net income for the third quarter of 1996 of $167,000 or
$.32 per share (primary) and $.20 per share (fully diluted) compared to
a net loss of $.07 per share (primary) on a net loss of $38,000 for the
third quarter of 1995. For the nine months of 1996, there was a per share
net profit of $2.42 (primary) and $1.34 (fully diluted) on total net profit
of $1,248,000. This compares to a $2.32 per share profit (primary) and
$1.29 per share (fully diluted) on total net profit of $1,196,000 for the
same period in 1995.
The computation of primary earnings per common and common equivalent share
is based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and
additional shares assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options. The
computation of fully diluted earnings per share further assumes conversion
of the variable interest rate convertible debentures.
For the nine months of 1996 and 1995, the Company had net cash balances
provided from operations of $3,560,000 and $1,015,000, respectively. These
funds were used to pay down existing bank lines of credit and/or for the
purchase of property and equipment. The increase in 1996 is principally
due to improved control of inventory levels in 1996 and a larger reduction
in accounts payable in 1995.
As of August 3, 1996, the Company, through its subsidiary, Wescon Products
Company, had an unused line of credit for short-term bank borrowing of
$6,000,000 remaining on the $7,000,000 available, providing for interest
at prime. The Company, through its subsidiary, Helton, Inc., had an
unused bank line of credit at August 3, 1996 of $350,000. Management
believes that the combination of funds available through its bank lines
of credit along with the anticipated cash flow from operations will provide
the capital resources necessary to meet the Company's working capital needs.*
Despite the Company's existing capital resources, opportunities may arise
that Management believes would increase the value of the Company that could
require financing not currently provided for. There were no significant
capital expenditure commitments outstanding at August 3, 1996 that have not
been previously disclosed.

to certain risks and uncertainties. See PART II, Item 5, "Forward-
Looking Statements."
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Except as set forth below, there are no material pending legal proceedings
other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which
either the Company or its subsidiaries are a party or of which any of the
property of such entities is the subject.
On August 13, 1993 the Company received an inquiry from the United Stated
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") concerning the disposal of hazardous
substances at the Doepke-Holliday Super Fund Site (the "Site") in Johnson
County, Kansas. In the letter, the EPA stated that it had information
indicating that wastes from the Company were disposed of at the Site. The
Company has no records of any such disposal of wastes at the Site. However,
the Company no longer has access to most of the records of two divisions
which it operated during the relevant time period and subsequently sold, a
paint and chemical coatings division and a manufactured housing division.
The Company has agreed to participate in the Holliday Remediation Task Force
(the "Task Force"), a group of potentially responsible parties for the Site.
The Task Force currently has 40 active members and is negotiating partici-
pation by other potentially responsible parties. Parties who join the Task
Force agree to participate at one of five specified levels of contribution
based upon the Task Force's assessment of liability and to pay a portion of
future response and remediation costs based upon their specified level of
contribution. The Company will participate in the third contribution level
and the Task Force's preliminary estimate of the amount of financial contri-
bution which may be required from the Company at that level is $75,000 to
$100,000. A consent decree between the Task Force and the EPA has been
executed and filed with the United States District Court for the District
of Kansas. Neither ultimate liability nor costs are ascertainable at this
time. Based upon the information provided by the Task Force, the Company
estimates the amount of the financial contribution by the Company, including
legal and consulting costs associated with the contingency, that may be
required will be $150,000.*
At October 29, 1994, the Company accrued a current liability of $150,000
relating to this contingency. The Company paid approximately $25,000 with
respect to this matter during fiscal year 1995, and $14,000 for the first
nine months of fiscal 1996. At August 3, 1996, the Company had an accrued
liability of $111,000 relating to the contingency. The Company does not
expect final closure of this matter during fiscal year 1996. As a result
of this matter, the Company has requested copies of insurance policies that
were in effect during the period the contamination allegedly took place.
The Company plans to evaluate the coverage that existed during this period
and determine whether a claim should be filed with the carrier. The
Company's ability to obtain contribution from the insurance carrier is not
ascertainable at this time.
In the event the Company ultimately pays certain costs as a potentially
responsible party, it is the opinion of management, based upon currently
available information, that any such costs or liability are not likely to
materially vary from the amount accrued at August 3, 1996.*
*This statement is a forward-looking statement, which is subject to certain
risks and uncertainties. See PART II, Item 5, "Forward-Looking Statements."
Item 5. Other Information
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which
are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, including, without limitation, the statements specifically
identified as forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q. In addition,
certain statements in future filings by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases, and in oral statements
made by or with the approval of an authorized executive officer of the
Company which are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-
looking statements within the meaning of the Act. Examples of forward-
looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) projections of
revenues, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, capital expenditures,
the payment or non-payment of dividends, capital structure and other
financial items, (ii) statements of plans and objectives of the Company or
its management or Board of Directors, including plans or objectives relating
to the products or services of the Company, (iii) statements of future
economic performance, and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying the
statements described in (i), (ii) and (iii).
Forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company involve
risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially
from those in such statements. Some important factors that could cause the
actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-
looking statements include, but are not limited to: changes in general
economic conditions; competitive, regulatory or tax changes that affect
the cost of or demand for the Company's products; weather conditions;
adverse litigation results; failure to achieve cost-saving goals; changes
in raw material prices or availability; loss of one or more significant
customers; inflation; and changes in environmental regulation. Other
factors not identified herein could also have such an effect.
With respect to the forward-looking statement specifically identified in
PART I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q regarding the adequacy of the Company's
capital resources, such statement is subject to several risks and
uncertainties including, without limitation: the future economic performance
of the Company (which is dependent in part upon the factors described above);
the ability of the Company's subsidiary, Wescon Products Company, to renew
its $7,000,000 line of credit, which expires in February, 1997, for the same
amount and upon substantially the same terms; future acquisitions of other
businesses not currently anticipated by management of the Company; and other
material expenditures not currently anticipated by management.
The forward-looking statements specifically identified in PART II, Item 1
of this Form 10-Q, which relates to the Company's expected costs and
liability in connection with the environmental matter described therein,
is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, without
limitation: the actual costs of the clean-up may exceed those currently
projected; the Site may contain undiscovered conditions requiring further
remediation costs; the entities engaged by the Task Force to effect the
clean-up may fail to correctly remediate the Site; the EPA may reopen its
claims against all responsible parties, including the Company, as permitted
under the Consent Decree; and a third party may make claims against the
Company related to the Site. The occurrence of any of the foregoing may
cause the Company to incur additional liability or costs.
