ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
-------   ---------------------------------------------------------------
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------

Results of Operations
---------------------

          Net sales for the 2000 quarter were 15.1% higher than the 1999
quarter.  Net sales for the six-month period were 12.2% higher than the
corresponding period in 1999.  Acquisitions accounted for 8% and 5.5% of the
second quarter and six month sales growth, respectively.  Comparable companies
grew approximately 7% for both the quarter and six month period, led by strong
volume gains in the Electronic Test, Motion, Power Quality, and Hand Tools
businesses.

          Gross profit margin in 2000, as a percentage of sales, was
approximately 39.3% for the quarter and 38.6% for the six-month period, an
increase of 0.3 and 0.5 percentage points from 1999 levels, respectively.  This
increase was attributable primarily to the leverage of higher shipment volumes
spread over the fixed cost base and productivity improvements in both business
segments, slightly offset by lower gross margins of businesses acquired during
2000.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2000 quarter and
six month period increased $23 million and $42 million, respectively, reflecting
the impact of recently acquired companies, increased variable spending generated
by higher sales volumes, and increased spending in organizational development
and electronic commerce activities.  These expenses, as a percentage of sales,
fell 0.4 points, driven by the leverage of a larger revenue base spread over
fixed costs, and the impact of recently acquired companies.

          Interest expense was 6.3% and 37.6% lower than the 1999 quarter and
six month period, respectively.  Lower average debt levels resulting from strong
operating cash flows, and the retirement of a portion of higher fixed rate
borrowings, have driven these reductions.

          The effective tax rate of 38.0% for the second quarter

                                       5
<PAGE>

and the six-month period in 2000, 0.5 percentage points lower than the
respective periods in the prior year, is mainly due to a higher proportion of
foreign earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

          Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $85.8
million higher than in 1999, resulting from improved earnings, improved accounts
receivable management, and increased deferred tax liabilities.  Total debt
increased to $728.2 million at June 30, 2000, compared to $374.6 million at
December 31, 1999.  This increase relates principally to new borrowings incurred
to finance acquisitions.  In the first quarter of 2000, the Company repurchased
$82 million of the Company's common stock and acquired American Precision
Industries, Inc. for a cash price of approximately $250 million, including
assumption of debt.  On June 20, 2000, the Company acquired Kollmorgen
Corporation for a cash price of $23 per share, or approximately $325 million,
including the assumption of debt.

          Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2000, on July 3, 2000,
the Company purchased the motion control businesses of Warner Electric for $144
million in cash.  The debt reflected on the June 30, 2000 balance sheet includes
borrowings incurred in anticipation of funding the Warner Electric acquisition.
The cash and cash equivalents of $183.7 million on the June 30, 2000 balance
sheet were invested in highly liquid investment grade short term instruments.

          A regular quarterly dividend of $.015 per share was declared, payable
on July 31, 2000 to holders of record on June 30, 2000.

          The Company's cash provided from operations, as well as credit
facilities available, should provide sufficient available funds to meet
anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions,
dividends and scheduled debt repayments.
