4. BUSINESS ACQUISITION:
On June 20, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Connector Industries of America, a
glass-to-metal sealing company. The purchase price included $2,100,000 in
cash and a contingent payment of $400,000 based upon the volume of business
retained in the immediately subsequent 18 month period. In its last fiscal
year of operations, the acquired company generated sales of approximately
$3,200,000. The transaction was accounted for as an asset purchase. In
conjunction with the acquisition, the Company assigned $1,372,000 to
intangibles which will be amortized over a 14 year period on a straight line
basis. If the contingent payment becomes payable, such amount will be
recorded as additional purchase price consideration and added to intangibles.
Pro forma results of operations are not provided as the impact on Company
operations is not material.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
ENVIRONMENTAL
As an ongoing facet of the Company's business, it is required to maintain
compliance with various environmental regulations. The cost of this
compliance is included in the Company's operating results as incurred. These
ongoing costs include permitting fees and expenses and specialized effluent
control systems as well as monitoring and site assessment costs required by
various governmental agencies. In the opinion of management, the maintenance
of this compliance will not have a significant effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.
In August 1994, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") identified
the Company as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") in the El Monte
Operable Unit ("EMOU") of the San Gabriel Valley Superfund Sites. In early
1995, the Company and the EPA executed an Administrative Consent Order which
requires the Company and other PRP's to perform a Remedial Investigation and
Feasibility Study ("RI/FS") for the EMOU. In addition, the Company's
facility in Avon, Massachusetts is subject to Massachusetts "Chapter 21E",
the State's hazardous site clean-up program. Uncertainty as to (a) the
extent to which the Company caused, if at all, the conditions being
investigated, (b) the extent of environmental contamination and risks, (c)
the applicability of changing and complex environmental laws (d) the number
and financial viability of other PRP's, (e) the stage of the investigation
and/or remediation, (f) the unpredictability of investigation and/or
remediation costs (including as to when they will be incurred), (g)
applicable clean-up standards, (h) the remediation (if any) that will
ultimately be required, and (i) available technology make it difficult to
assess the likelihood and scope of further investigation or remediation
activities or to estimate the future costs of such activities if undertaken.
In addition, liability under CERCLA is joint and several, and any potential
inability of other PRPs to pay their pro rata share of the environmental
remediation costs may result in the Company being required to bear costs in
excess of its pro rata share.
In fiscal 1997, the Company with the help of independent consultants,
determined a range of estimated costs of $9,000,000 to $11,000,000 associated
with the various claims and assertions it faces. The time frame over which
the Company expects to incur such costs varies with each site, ranging up to
20 years as of March 28, 1998. These estimates are based partly on progress
made in determining the magnitude of such costs, experience gained from sites
on which remediation is ongoing or has been completed, and the timing and
extent of remedial actions required by the applicable governmental
authorities. As a result, the Company accrued $10,000,000 in fiscal 1997 for
existing estimated environmental remediation and other related costs which
the Company believes to be the best estimate of the liability. As of June
27, 1998, the accrual for estimated environmental costs was $9,576,000.
Claims for recovery of costs already incurred and future costs have been
asserted against various insurance companies. The Company has neither
recorded any asset nor reduced any liability in anticipation of recovery with
respect to such claims made.
The Company believes its reserves are adequate, but as the scope of its
obligations becomes more clearly defined, this reserve may be modified and
related charges against earnings may be made.
Pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement, the Selling Group has agreed to
indemnify the Company with respect to the after-tax costs of contingent
environmental and other liabilities, subject to a cap for all indemnified
liabilities of $30 million. Pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement, a
$6.0 million interest bearing escrow account was established by the selling
stockholders (the "Deferred Amount") to secure indemnity claims of the
Company and others, including with respect to environmental liabilities. Any
environmental costs, net of tax benefit, are expected to be funded from the
escrow account. Actual expenditures for environmental remediation were
$26,000 for the quarter ended June 27, 1998 and $381,000 for the fiscal year
ended March 28, 1998.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued:
Other
On March 3, 1998, Walter Neubauer, formerly the largest shareholder of the
Company and presently one of the largest shareholders of Special Devices,
Inc., the Company's largest customer, filed a lawsuit in California Superior
Court against the Company and certain other stockholders alleging (i) breach
of fiduciary duty, (ii) fraud, (iii) negligent misrepresentation, (iv)
negligence, (v) violations of corporations code and (vi) breach of contract.
The allegations primarily relate to the Company's exercise of a 1995 option
to acquire Mr. Neubauer's stock in August 1996. The former stockholder is
seeking damages of $40.0 million. Based upon the Company's analysis of the
current facts, it is management's belief that the Company should ultimately
prevail in this matter, although there can be no assurance in this regard at
this time.
On May 7, 1998, the Company filed a lawsuit against the former stockholder in
California Superior Court alleging (i) breach of contract, (ii) intentional
interference with business relations and (iii) interference with prospective
business advantage. All allegations relate to violations of the
noncompetition agreement executed by the former stockholder in August 1996.
The Company is seeking damages of $50.0 million.
In addition to the above, the Company is involved in other claims and
litigation arising in the normal course of business. Based on the advice of
counsel and in the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these
matters will not have a significant effect on the financial position or the
results of operations of the Company.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 27, 1998 ("1999 QUARTER") TO THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 28, 1997 ("1998 QUARTER")
NET SALES
The Company's net sales increased by approximately 17.4% or $2.7 million
to $18.2 million for the 1999 Quarter compared to sales of $15.5 million for
the 1998 Quarter. The increase was due to increasing demand in all product
lines. Sales to existing aerospace, industrial process control, and
petrochemical customers increased significantly in the 1999 Quarter. Net
non-automotive shipments increased by approximately 18% in the 1999 Quarter
compared to the 1998 Quarter. Based on current order volume, the Company
expects continued growth in the aerospace, industrial process control and
petrochemical markets.
On the automotive side, unit shipments of airbag initiator products
increased significantly due to increased volumes on existing programs and the
development of some new programs. The Company's airbag initiator shipments
to its largest customer, Special Devices, Inc. ("SDI") increased 63% for the
1999 Quarter compared to the 1998 Quarter. This increased volume was
partially offset by a price reduction effected under a new three year supply
agreement with SDI. The new agreement with SDI was effective October 1, 1997
and expires on December 31, 2000. Overall, revenue from all automotive
shipments increased approximately 16% in the 1999 Quarter compared to the
1998 Quarter.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit increased by approximately 17.7% or $1.1 million, to $7.3
million for the 1999 Quarter compared to $6.2 for the 1998 Quarter. Gross
margin increased slightly to 40.1% for the 1999 Quarter from 40.0% for the
1998 Quarter.
The increase in gross profit is attributable to the increased sales
volume. The gross margin as a percent to sales was relatively unchanged in
the 1999 Quarter compared to the 1998 Quarter.

<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative ("S,G&A") expenses remained flat at
$2.1 million for both the 1999 and 1998 Quarters. S,G&A expenses as a
percent to sales decreased to 11.5% in the 1999 Quarter from 13.5% for the
1998 Quarter.
Selling expenses increased modestly in support of higher sales volume.
These higher costs were offset by reductions in general and administrative
expenses. The improvement in the percentage of S,G&A expenses to sales
reflects the improved leverage on the fixed portion of those expenses.
EARNINGS FROM OPERATIONS
Operating earnings increased $1.1 million to $5.2 million for the 1999
Quarter compared to $4.1 million for the 1998 Quarter. Operating margins
increased to 28.6% in the 1999 Quarter from 26.5% for the 1998 Quarter.
The increase in operating earnings and margin was attributable to the
same factors (as discussed above) that contributed to the increase in gross
profit and gross margin and improvements in S,G&A expenses as a percent to
sales.
OTHER EXPENSE, NET
Other expense, net (which is predominantly net interest expense)
remained flat at $2.5 million in the 1999 and 1998 Quarters. The Company has
$102.0 million of indebtedness as of June 27, 1998 compared to $99.1 million
at June 28, 1997.
NET EARNINGS
Net earnings increased by approximately $1.7 million to $1.6 million for
the 1999 Quarter from a net loss of $0.1 million in the 1998 Quarter.
The increase in net earnings was primarily attributable to the increase
in gross profit and the recognition of a $1.0 extraordinary loss on
retirement of debt in the 1998 Quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used in operating activities was $0.6 million for the 1999
Quarter compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1.8 million for
the 1998 Quarter. The decrease of $2.4 million was primarily attributable to
a reduction in accrued liabilities (primarily accrued interest expense).
Interest payments on the Company's Subordinated Notes are due in May and
November of each year.
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.0 million for the 1999
Quarter compared to $2.9 million for the 1998 Quarter. The $1.1 million
increase was attributable to the Company's May 1998 purchase of a facility in
El Monte, California of approximately 110,000 square feet (of which the
Company was leasing approximately 38,000 square feet). In addition, included
in the $2.9 million of cash used in investing activities in the 1998 Quarter
was $2.2 million for the acquisition of a business which did not recur in
the 1999 Quarter.

<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED
As of June 27, 1998, the Company's outstanding indebtedness is $102.0
million, consisting of $90.0 million principal amount of the senior
subordinated notes, $2.5 million of subordinated notes due Selling
Shareholders pursuant to the Contingent Note Agreement, $3.0 million of
subordinated bonus notes pursuant to the Contingent Bonus Plan, $2.8 million
of mortgage debt and $3.7 million of other borrowings. The Company has a
Revolving Credit Facility up to $20.0 million and is collateralized by
accounts receivable and inventories. At June 27, 1998 there was $15.7
million available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility may be used for general and other corporate
purposes. To date, the Company has not used any amounts under the Revolving
Credit Facility.
The Company believes that cash flow from operations and the availability
of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will provide adequate funds
for ongoing operations, planned capital expenditures and debt service during
the term of such facility. To the extent certain performance thresholds with
respect to the Contingent Notes and Contingent Bonuses are met, and such
obligations become vested, the Company believes that cash flow from
operations and availability of borrowings will be sufficient to fund such
obligations.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 1999 are expected to focus on vertical
integration with investments in equipment to expand manufacturing capacity
in machining, glass production, sealing and plating, as well as automation
equipment to lower production costs on the high volume production lines.
Expected capital expenditures for fiscal 1999 are approximately $7.7 million
and will be financed through working capital, the Revolving Credit Facility
and a mortgage on the acquired El Monte property.
This filing contains statements that are "forward looking statements",
and includes, among other things, discussions of the Company's business
strategy and expectations concerning market position, future operations,
margins, profitability, liquidity and capital resources. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations
will prove to have been correct. All phases of the operations of the Company
are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences,
including general economic conditions, regulatory changes and competition,
many of which are outside the control of the Company, any one of which, or a
combination of which, could materially affect the results of the Company's
operations and whether the forward looking statements made by the Company
ultimately prove to be accurate.
