Note 4 - Provision for Income Taxes:
         The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and
         1993 approximates the Federal statutory rate.

Note 5 - Contingencies:

         The Company is a supplier to the United States Government under
         contracts and subcontracts on which there are cost allocation, cost
         allowability and compliance issues under examination by various
         agencies or departments of the Federal government.  In the course of
         the resolution of these issues, the Company may be required to adjust
         certain prices or refund certain payments on its government contracts
         and subcontracts.  The Company believes that any such price 
         adjustments or refunds will not have a materially adverse effect on 
         the financial position of the Company.

         In May, 1994, the Company agreed to accept $6,450,000 in settlement of
         the preproduction portion of its proposed change order to the 
         Government seeking equitable compensation for constructive changes
         and associated delays by the Government in a contract for the supply
         of 3KW generator sets to be manufactured by the Company's 
         discontinued Fermont division.  The proposed change order was 
         submitted in April 1992.  Negotiations to settle the production 
         portion of the proposed change order are expected to commence shortly.

         The Company has been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection
         Agency ("EPA") that it is a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP")
         regarding hazardous waste cleanup at a non-Company site in Connecticut
         and at a Company site in California.  Certain of the PRPs at the
         Connecticut site have agreed with the EPA to fund a feasibility 
         study at the site and have sued the Company and other PRPs who have
         not agreed to share the costs.  A property owner neighboring the 
         Company site in California has sued the Company and others for 
         allegedly causing contamination at the neighbor's property.  In
         addition, the Company has received notice from a state environmental 
         agency that it is a PRP with respect to a non-Company site in 
         Pennsylvania, and is also a defendant in two lawsuits seeking 
         contribution towards the Superfund cleanup costs relating to two 
         other non-Company sites in that state.  Based upon knowledge of the 
         extent of the Company's exposure and current statutes, rules and 
         regulations, management believes that the anticipated costs
         resulting from claims and proceedings with respect to the above
         mentioned sites, including remediation, the extent and cost of which
         are presently unknown, will not materially affect the financial
         position of the Company.

         With respect to other claims and actions against the Company, it is 
         the opinion of Management that they will not have a material effect 
         on the financial position of the Company.

Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations 
               and Financial Condition

Results of Operations

Sales decreased $2,875,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1994 compared to
the same period a year ago.  Sales in the Electrical Appliances and
Electronic Devices segment decreased $1,034,000.  Sales of electrical
appliances, particularly specialty consumer products, declined $2,503,000
while sales of electronic devices increased $1,469,000.  Sales of heat
dissipating devices for computer microprocessors more than tripled.  Sales in
the Fabricated Metal Products and Equipment segment increased $343,000, as
gains on air distribution product sales were offset to some extent by a
decline in systems product sales.  Sales in the Power and Controlled
Environmental Systems segment decreased $2,184,000, due to a significant
decline in custom mobile shipments following completion of an order from a
Government prime contractor in the prior year which was partially offset by
sales increases in the current year for thermal and medical products.

Gross profit declined $704,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1994 compared
to the same period a year ago but increased as a percentage of sales to 26.5%
from 26.3%.  Gross profit in the Electrical Appliances and Electronic Devices
segment decreased due to sales declines and lower margins from product mix on
electrical appliances, which was partially offset by increased sales of
higher margined heat dissipating devices.  Gross profit increased in the
Fabricated Metal Products and Equipment segment, due to higher sales in the
current year's quarter offset by lower margins from product mix.  In the
Power and Controlled Environmental Systems segment gross profit decreased due
to lower sales in the current year, which was partially offset by improved
margins from product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $784,000 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1994 compared to the same period a year ago, mainly
due to lower advertising expenditures and reduced salary costs following
staff restructurings in the fourth quarter of 1993.

The provision for income taxes increased $25,000 due to higher income before
equity in the income of CTS Corporation.  The income tax rate in the quarter
ended March 31, 1994 increased to 34.7% compared to 34.5% for the same period
a year ago, approximating the Federal statutory rate.

Income from the Company's equity investment in CTS Corporation increased
$269,000, reflecting CTS' $723,000 increase in earnings before prior year
accounting changes.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1993, the Company recorded its
proportionate share of CTS' net charge from its adoption of Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 106, "Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," a charge of $1,896,000, or
$.49 per share, and FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," a
credit of $180,000, or $.05 per share.  These onetime, non-cash accounting
changes were adopted by CTS as cumulative effects to January 1, 1993.

Financial Condition

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1,957,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 1994.  Cash of $790,000 was used in operating activities,
reflecting an increase in inventories, offset in part by increases in
accounts payable, accrued expenses and sundry liabilities.  Cash of $224,000
was used in investing activities, primarily to purchase machinery and
equipment and CTS common stock, and cash of $943,000 was used in financing
activities to fund the Company's dividend payment, purchase treasury stock
and to make principal payments under mortgage and capital lease obligations.

                                     -9-
<PAGE>

Cash at March 31, 1994 amounted to $7,012,000.  During the quarter, the
Company did not borrow under its $27,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement or
its $10,000,000 uncommitted line with its banks.  The entire amount of the
credit facilities is available for use by the Company.

During the second quarter, the Company expects to receive payment from the
Government of $6,450,000 as agreed upon to settle the preproduction portion
of Fermont Division's proposed change order concerning the 3KW generator set
contract, less progress payments previously received on that contract.  (See
Note 5 - Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.)

Liquidity and financial resources are considered adequate to fund planned
Company operations, including capital expenditures and payment of dividends. 
The Company intends to continue its stated policy of reviewing potential
acquisitions of companies and product lines which it believes would enhance
its growth and profitability.

Management anticipates that the Company's deferred tax assets will be
realized based upon its expectation of future taxable income.  The Company
will require taxable income of $16,271,000 ($15,617,000 of ordinary income
and $654,000 of capital gain income) to realize its net deferred tax assets
of $6,021,000 at March 31, 1994.

With respect to environmental matters (see Note 5 - Contingencies in the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company has accrued
$72,000 for mandated expenditures at a Company site in California during the
quarter, compared to similar accrued expenses of $23,000 for the comparable
prior year period.

In complying with federal, state and local environmental protection statutes
and regulations, the Company has altered or modified certain manufacturing
processes and expects to do so in the future.  Such modifications to date
have not significantly increased capital expenditures or affected earnings or
the competitiveness of the Company.

It is possible, but unanticipated at this time, that future results of
operations or cash flows could be materially affected by an unfavorable
resolution of environmental-related matters.
