NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of March 31,
1994, the consolidated condensed income statements for the
three month and nine month periods ended March 31, 1994 and
1993, and the statements of consolidated cash flows for the
nine month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 have been
prepared by the Company without audit. The June 30, 1993
consolidated condensed balance sheet was derived from
audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows at March 31, 1994 and for all
periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.
It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's June 30, 1993 annual
report to stockholders. The results of operations for the
period ended March 31, 1994 are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the full year.
2. INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost
is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for
approximately 49% and 48% of the Company's inventories at
March 31, 1994 and June 30, 1993, respectively, and by the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) and actual cost methods for all
other inventories. The inventories are summarized as
follows:
March 31 June 30
1994 1993
Raw materials and supplies $13,502 $11,701
Work in process 10,183 7,798
Finished goods 12,046 10,808
35,731 30,307
Less LIFO reserve (8,583) (7,983)
Total $27,148 $22,324
The replacement cost of inventories at March 31, 1994 and
June 30, 1993 approximates FIFO value.
<PAGE>
3. LONG-TERM DEBT
The Company must meet certain debt covenants. Under the
most restrictive covenant, $3,878 of retained earnings at
March 31, 1994 is not restricted as to payments of
dividends. The agreements include a change in control
provision which may result in a prepayment penalty and all
unpaid principal and interest due immediately.
4. SHORT-TERM LINES OF CREDIT
At March 31, 1994, the Company had bank lines of credit
permitting borrowing up to an aggregate of $18,000 at the
banks' corporate base rate or a fixed rate (at the option of
the Company) as defined in the agreements. The lines
require no compensating balances or commitment fees. The
lines, generally reviewed annually for renewal, are subject
to the usual terms and conditions applied by the banks. At
March 31, 1994, none of the lines were used.
5. TAXES ON INCOME
The effective tax rate for the quarters ended March 31, 1994
and 1993 were 41.5% and 42.0%, respectfully. The effective
tax rate for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 1994 and
1993 were 41.5% and 42.0%, respectively.
6. INTEREST
The Company capitalizes interest costs relating to
construction of property and equipment. Such costs are
amortized over the depreciable lives of the related assets.
Certain information regarding this capitalization follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
3/31/94 3/31/93 3/31/94 3/31/93
Interest costs incurred $ 789 $ 912 $2,479 $2,903
Interest capitalized 23 22 98 50
Interest expensed $ 766 $ 890 $2,381 $2,853
7. CONTINGENCIES
The Company is currently involved in matters of litigation
arising from the normal course of business, including
environmental matters. The Company, together with other
parties, has been designated a "Potentially Responsible
Party" by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) with respect to the cost of investigation and clean-
up of a site in Illinois. Together with other parties, the
Company is a third-party defendant in a federal enforcement
action brought by the USEPA against several other primary
<PAGE>
defendants. The Company is also involved with clean-up
efforts with respect to two pieces of property that it
previously owned in Connecticut. The Company's potential
exposure for these environmental matters has been evaluated
and a liability has been recorded for its likely costs based
on available information. Such liability is not material to
the financial condition of the Company. It is the opinion
of management, after consultation with counsel, that
additional liabilities, if any, resulting from litigation
matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition of the Company, although such
matters could have a material effect on quarterly or annual
operating results when resolved in a future period.
In January 1994, the USEPA notified the Company that it is
one of over 300 PRPs with respect to the old Southington
Landfill Superfund Site in Southington, Connecticut. Elco
was identified as a successor to a company that allegedly
used the site. The USEPA has not yet selected a plan of
remediation for the site. The Company has insufficient
information to determine its potential exposure in
connection with the site, when (or if) it will incur such
costs and the ultimate impact of the costs upon the
Company's financial condition and results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in Thousands)
Three Month Period Ended March 31, 1994 Compared To The Three Month
Period Ended March 31, 1993.
Net sales increased $6,957 or 13.7%, primarily due to an 18.1% increase
in the Industrial Products Group. Growth in the Industrial Products
Group resulted from increased automobile and light truck production and
the growing economy. Net sales in the Home and Construction Products
Group were comparable to the year earlier period due to declining sales
to two significant retail customers due to incompatibility in product or
distribution strategy. In subsequent periods, the Company anticipates
replacing these lost sales with sales from new programs to two home
centers. The setups of these new programs are anticipated to be
completed by the end of calendar 1994.
Gross profit remained constant at approximately 19.0% of net sales. The
Company incurred an expense of approximately $500 relating to the loss of
one of the customers mentioned previously. Without this charge, gross
profit would have increased from 19.1% of net sales to 19.9%.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased from 12.1% of net sales to
11.4%. These expenses increased at a rate lower than the sales increase
due to cost containment efforts and to the fixed nature of certain of the
expenses.
Income from operations increased from 6.9% of net sales to 7.7%, one of
the best results since the end of the last economic expansion in 1989.
Operating margins for the Industrial Products Group increased from 8.1%
of net sales to 9.7% as a result of higher sales levels, higher capacity
utilization rates and continuing productivity improvement programs.
Operating margins for the Home and Construction Products Group declined
due to the lost customer expense mentioned previously. Without that
charge, operating income would have increased on flat sales.
Net interest expense declined 13.0% primarily reflecting lower levels of
debt and the effect of the refinancing of a portion of long-term debt.
The effective income tax rate decreased from 42.0% to 41.5% due to a
favorable mix of state income taxes and to a reduced effect of certain
non-deductible expenses.
The Company's share of the results of operations of Rocknel Fastener,
Inc. ("Rocknel"), a joint venture company, improved from a loss of $67 to
income of $94 due to continually improving operations and to an increase
in the sale of higher margin products to new customers.
Net income increased from $.30 per share to $.45, a 50.0% increase.
<PAGE>
Nine Months Ended March 31, 1994 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31,
1993
Net sales increased $19,720 or 13.7% with a 16.6% increase in the
Industrial Products Group and a 5.6% increase in the Home and
Construction Products Group. Increases in vehicle production and the
continued growing economy primarily generated the Industrial Products
Group growth. Growth in the Home and Construction Products Group was
somewhat limited as a result of declining sales to two significant retail
customers due to incompatibility in product or distribution strategy.
Gross profit increased from 18.2% of net sales to 19.3% primarily due to
stronger sales performance, efficiency improvements and ongoing expense
reduction programs.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased from 12.3% of net sales to
11.9%, reflecting the fixed nature of certain of these expenses. The
1994 expenses included a one-time charge of approximately $366 related to
the refinancing of certain long-term debt at lower rates.
Income from operations increased from 5.9% of net sales to 7.4% primarily
due to strong performance from the Industrial Products Group, where
greater capacity utilization and a shift in sales to higher margin
products contributed to improved gross profit margins. Margins improved
modestly in the Home and Construction Products Group in spite of an
expense of approximately $500 related to the loss of one of the customers
mentioned previously.
Net interest expense decreased 16.8% reflecting lower levels of debt, a
more favorable effect of an interest rate swap agreement, lower effective
interest rates and the effect of the refinancing of a portion of long-
term debt.
The effective income tax rate decreased from 42.0% to 41.5% due to a
favorable mix of state income taxes and to a reduced effect of certain
non-deductible expenses.
The Company's share of the results of operations of Rocknel Fastener,
Inc., a joint venture company, improved from a loss of $171 to income of
$77. This improvement was the result of continued cost containment
efforts, productivity improvements and the introduction of new, higher
margin products to new customers.
Net income for the 1994 period was $5,802 or $1.16 per share, increases
of 85.2% and 84.1%, respectively, from the prior periods results.
<PAGE>
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," which will
be effective for the year ended June 30, 1995, and will require accrual
accounting for the estimated cost of benefits provided to former or
inactive employees after employment but before retirement. Management
has not yet performed a complete evaluation to determine the financial
impact, however, a preliminary assessment indicates that it is not likely
to have a material impact on the Company.
During December 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
which will require additional disclosures regarding long-term debt and
other financial instruments. The Company must adopt SFAS No. 107 no
later than June 30, 1996. Adoption of this statement will not impact the
carrying value of the Company's assets and liabilities.
SEASONAL VARIATIONS IN BUSINESS
Sales and revenues of a material portion of the Company's business are
normally stronger in the second half of the Company's fiscal year.
Production levels are generally lower during the Company's first half of
the fiscal year because of customer plant shutdowns due to summer
vacations and the number of holidays scheduled during the month of
December by both customers and the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
(Dollars in thousands)
The following tabulation provides a summary of Changes in Consolidated
Cash Flows for the periods indicated.
Nine Months Ended
March 31
1994 1993
(in thousands)
Cash provided by (required for):
Operating Activities $10,094 $12,385
Investment Activities (8,186) (3,987)
Financing Activities (4,873) (4,189)
Net cash required (2,965) 4,209
Balance at the beginning of the period 8,013 2,562
Balance at the end of the period $ 5,048 $ 6,771
Working capital at March 31, 1994 was $35,363 or approximately 16% of
annualized sales, a level somewhat higher than normal and reflective of
initial stocking requirements for two new major home center customers.
Cash balances decreased from $8,013 to $5,048 during the period from July
1, 1993 to March 31, 1994. The increase in working capital required to
support the significantly increased sales, plus cash requirements for
capital expenditures and required debt payments exceeded cash provided by
net income, depreciation and amortization. The Company anticipates that
capital expenditures will approximate $13,000 for its current fiscal year
(including approximately $5,000 to be spent in its fourth quarter) and
$14,500 for fiscal 1995, including approximately $3,000 that it expects
to spend in connection with an expansion at its Precision Stamping
Division over the next 18 months.
At March 31, 1994 the Company had $18,000 of bank lines of credit, none
