NOTE F - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At June 2, 1996, the Company has committed to capital expenditures of $10.8
million, primarily for the Engineered Components segment.

The Company, as is normal for the industry in which it operates, is involved in
certain legal proceedings and subject to certain claims and site investigations
which arise under the environmental laws and which have not been finally
adjudicated.

The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party by various
state agencies and by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.
EPA) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980, as amended, for costs associated with nine U.S. EPA led multi-party
sites and seven state environmental agency-led remediation sites. Each of these
claims involves third-party owned disposal sites for which compensation is
sought from the Company as an alleged waste generator for recovery of past
governmental costs or for future investigation or remedial actions. The
designation as a potentially responsible party and the assertion of such claims
against the Company are made without taking into consideration the extent of the
Company's involvement with the particular site. In each instance, claims have
been asserted against a number of other entities for the same recovery or other
relief as was asserted against the Company. These claims are in various stages
of administrative or judicial proceeding. The Company has no reason to believe
that it will have to pay a significantly disproportionate share of clean-up
costs associated with any site.

To the extent possible, with the information available at the time, the Company
has evaluated its responsibility for costs and related liability with respect to
the above sites. In making such evaluation, the Company did not take into
consideration any possible cost reimbursement claims against its insurance
carriers. The Company is of the opinion that its liability with respect to those
sites should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or
results of operations. In arriving at this conclusion, the principal factors
considered by the Company were ongoing settlement discussions with respect to
certain of the sites, the volume and relative toxicity of waste alleged to have
been disposed of by the Company at certain sites, which factors are often used
to allocate investigative and remedial costs among potentially responsible
parties, the probable costs to be paid by other potentially responsible parties,
total projected remedial costs for a site, if known, and the Company's existing
reserve to cover costs associated with unresolved environmental proceedings. At
June 2, 1996, the Company's accrued undiscounted reserve for such contingencies
was $2.4 million.

Allied-Signal Inc. has brought an action against the Company seeking a
contribution from the Company equal to 50% of Allied-Signal's estimated $30
million remediation cost in connection with a site in southern Ohio. The Company
believes its responsibility with respect to this site is very limited due to the
nature of the foundry sand waste it disposed of at the site. A trial in this
case was completed in February of 1995, but no judgment has been rendered. The
Company believes that if it has any liability at all in regard to this matter,
that liability would not be material to its financial position or results of
operations.

The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit brought by the Public Interest Research
Group Inc. seeking substantial penalties for alleged waste water discharges by
the Company's Stanley G. Flagg & Co. division during a 48-month period ended in
October of 1988. The Company's discharges have been in compliance since at least
1990. The Company therefore believes that penalties, if any, will not be
material to its financial position or results of operations.

             CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OPERATING RESULTS

Net sales of $87.6 million for the third quarter ended June 2, 1996 increased
slightly from the prior year third quarter. Flow Control Products' sales
increased 14% to $41.4 million primarily due to higher sales levels of copper
and brass fittings, resulting from the inclusion of Flagg Brass, which was
reported as a discontinued operation in 1995. Engineered Components' sales
declined 8% to $46.2 million primarily due to an eighteen day work stoppage by
the Company's largest customer, General Motors. For the first nine months of
fiscal 1996, net sales were $255.8 million, up 4% from the comparable prior year
period. Flow Control Products' sales rose 8% to $117.8 million, primarily due to
the addition of $6 million of sales by Flagg Brass, a retained operation in
1996. Year-to-date, Engineered Components' sales increased 1% to $138.0 million.

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 and 1995 was $16.3 million and
$17.9 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of sales for the third
quarter of 1996 was 18.6% compared to 20.7% in 1995. These decreases are
primarily attributable to a change in the sales mix to lower margin products in
the Flow Control segment and, in the Engineered Components segment, the loss of
sales, combined with production cutbacks as a result of the General Motors' work
stoppage. Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 decreased
slightly to $50.3 million from $50.6 million. As a percent of sales, the
year-to-date gross profit was 19.6% compared to 20.6% for the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of $10.8
million, rose $.3 million from the third quarter of 1995 to support business
expansion activities. Year-to-date selling, general and administrative expenses,
as a percent of sales, were 12.4% in both 1996 and 1995.

For the third quarter of fiscal years 1996 and 1995, interest expense was $.9
million and $.3 million, respectively. Current year-to-date interest expense is
$1.7 million compared to $1.0 million in fiscal 1995. These increases are a
result of higher borrowings to support business expansion in fiscal 1996.

</TABLE>

Flow Control Products' operating income in the third quarter of $6.0 million
declined 9% primarily due to the mix of products sold in 1996 having lower
margins than in 1995. The product mix in 1996 includes additional high volume,
lower priced copper and brass fittings. Engineered Components' operating income
of $1.4 million decreased $1.2 million primarily due to the aforementioned
General Motors work stoppage. Year-to-date, Flow Control Products' operating
income declined 5% from fiscal 1995 primarily due to unfavorable product mix.
Engineered Components' nine-month operating income decreased $.7 million from
the prior year primarily due to the General Motors work stoppage.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

For the first nine months of fiscal 1996, net cash provided by operations was
$15.5 million compared to $10.7 million in fiscal 1995. In the current year,
cash provided by net income and depreciation was partially offset by a $8.6
million increase in working capital. In the prior year, cash provided by net
income and depreciation was reduced by an increase in working capital of $13.9
million.

Capital expenditures were $39.2 million and $24.0 million for the nine-month
period of fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. At June 2, 1996, the Company had
$10.8 million of commitments for additional capital expenditures primarily for
the Engineered Components segment.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY (CONTINUED)

Long-term debt was 30.8% of total capital at June 2, 1996, and 19.3% at August
31, 1995. The increase during the period is due to a private placement of $50
million in senior notes with two insurance companies, used to fund business
expansion.

The Company may borrow up to $60 million under a Revolving Credit Agreement
which expires April 1, 2000. In addition, the Company maintains bank lines of
credit of $25 million. At June 2, 1996, there were no borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Agreement and $3 million outstanding under the bank lines of
credit. The Company considers these external sources of funds, together with
funds generated from operations, to be adequate to meet operating needs.


CONTINGENCIES

The Company, as is normal for the industry in which it operates, is involved in
certain legal proceedings and subject to certain claims and site investigations
that arise under the environmental laws and which have not been finally
adjudicated. To the extent possible, with the information available, the Company
regularly evaluates its responsibility with respect to environmental
proceedings. The factors considered in this evaluation are described in detail
in the Commitments and Contingencies note to the consolidated condensed
financial statements. At June 2, 1996, the Company had accrued reserves of $2.4
million for environmental liabilities. The Company is of the opinion that, in
light of its existing reserves, its liability in connection with environmental
proceedings should not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition
or results of operation. The Company is presently unaware of the existence of
any potential material environmental costs that are likely to occur in
connection with the disposition of any of its property.
