         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED
      FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had working capital as of December 31, 1995 of approximately
$1,112,000 as compared to approximately $1,065,000 as of June 30, 1995. 
A substantial portion of the Company's working capital consists of
inventory, which was approximately $5,421,000 and $4,364,000 as of
December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995, respectively.  The Company is
required to maintain substantial inventories of its numerous products in
order to meet the immediate shipping requirements of its customers who
require products on short notice and who do not maintain an inventory of
such products.  In addition, with the Company's available working capital
and its ability to obtain and maintain sufficient inventories, there can
be no assurance that the additional inventory will be sufficient to meet
sales demands, or  that the Company  will be able to achieve or maintain
sufficient inventories in the future.

With respect to the line of credit with Congress Financial Corporation,
the Company has $43,000 available for borrowing at December 31, 1995,
after adjusting for its liability for outstanding checks.

The Company's restructuring efforts continue to bear results,
particularly in the manufacturing segment, where market share is
increasing.  This segment continues to show an increased gross profit
percentage as a result of efficiencies in production as well as economies
of scale in its operations.  The distribution segment showed higher sales
in the second quarter, due to the Company's efforts in telemarketing and
new customers.

Presently the Company, together with a variety of defendants, is  party
to various asbestos-related lawsuits involving a number of plaintiffs
alleging damages from exposure to asbestos products sold by the Company. 
The Company may become a party to additional asbestos-related actions in
the future.  The Company is also party to other non-asbestos-related
litigation.  To date, the Company's insurance coverage has been adequate
and the Company's cost relative to asbestos litigation against it has not
been material.

The Company, at the present time, is searching for sources of capital to
ensure its future growth.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1995 were $6,251,000 as
compared to $5,567,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1994, an
increase of $684,000 or 12.3%.  Sales in the distribution segment
increased 6.3% to $2,269,000 from $2,134,000 for the same quarter last
year, while sales in the manufacturing segment increased 16.0% to
$3,982,000 from $3,433,000 compared to the comparable quarter last year.

Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 1995 were $12,773,000, an
increase of 12.1% from the comparable sales for the period ending
December 31, 1994 of $11,396,000.  In the six months ended December 31,

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
1995 distribution sales were $4,710,000, a decrease of $65,000 or 1.4%
compared to the same six months in the prior year, while the
manufacturing sales increased 21.8% to $8,063,000 from $6,620,000 for the
same period in the prior year.  The overall increase in sales is due to
the improvement in the Company's inventory position, as well as the
continued improvement in overall industry conditions.

The Company's gross profit margin increased to 22.2% of sales for the
second quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to 21.0% for the second quarter
fiscal 1995, and the gross profit margin for the six months ended
December 31, 1995 rose to 20.7% from 19.1% for the similar period in the
prior year.   The Company believes that the continued increase in gross
profit is primarily the result of efficiencies in production, improved
purchasing and the improved industry conditions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
December 31, 1995 were approximately $1,157,000 or 18.5% of sales
compared to approximately $1,056,000 or 19.0% for the same period last
year. These expenses for the six months ended December 31, 1995 were
approximately $2,243,000 (or 17.6% of sales) as compared to approximately
$2,072,000 (or 18.2% of sales) for the same period in the prior year.  
These decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales were due to the increase in sales volume experienced
in the quarter, as well as the effect of the Company's continuing cost
reductions.

Interest expense was approximately $192,000 for the second quarter of
fiscal 1996, an increase of approximately $60,000 when compared to the
same quarter of fiscal 1995.  For the six months ended December 31, 1995
the interest expense was approximately $387,000, against approximately
$259,000 in the same period in the prior year.  These increases were due
to increased borrowings during these periods.

The Company earned $.02 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 1995
against earnings of $.01 per share in the quarter ended December 31,
1994.  For the six months ended December 31, 1995 the Company showed a
cumulative decrease in per share losses at $.01 against $.02 per share
loss for the same period in the prior year.  The increase in the average
weighted shares was due to shares issued in connection with the
settlement with the Company's underwriter as well as the exercise in
warrants which occurred during the first quarter of fiscal June 1996.
