1.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES

            The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31,
            1993, the consolidated condensed income statements for the
            three month and six month periods ended December 31, 1993
            and 1992, and the statements of consolidated cash flows for
            the six month periods ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 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 December 31, 1993 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 December 31, 1993 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
            December 31 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:             
                                             December 31        June 30   
                                                 1993             1993  

           Raw materials and supplies         $13,680           $11,701
           Work in process                      9,622             7,798
           Finished goods                      11,587            10,808   
                                               34,889            30,307   
           Less LIFO reserve                   (8,435)           (7,983)  
           Total                              $26,454           $22,324   

            The replacement cost of inventories at December 31 and June
            30, 1993 approximates FIFO value.

3.      LONG-TERM DEBT

            The Company must meet certain debt covenants.  Under the
            most restrictive covenant, $3,416 of retained earnings at
            December 31, 1993 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 December 31, 1993, 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
            December 31, 1993, none of the lines were used.

5.      TAXES ON INCOME

            The effective tax rate for the quarters ended December 31,
            1993 and 1992 were 41.5% and 40.8%, respectfully.  The
            effective tax rate for the six-month periods ended December
            31, 1993 and 1992 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:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in Thousands)

Three Month Period Ended December 31, 1993 Compared To The Three Month
Period Ended December 31, 1992.

Consolidated net sales increased $6,511 or 14% resulting from an 18%
increase in the Industrial Products segment and a 3% increase in the
Home and Construction Products segment.  The growth in the Industrial
Products segment was a function of a 12% increase in automobile and light
truck production and stronger demand from most other industrial markets. 
Weak demand from two customers in the Home and Construction Products
segment limited that segment's sales growth.

Gross profit increased from 17% of net sales to 18% primarily due to
operations of the Industrial Products segment.  Greater capacity
utilization, higher margins on new products and ongoing expense control
efforts contributed to that segment's improved margins.  Margins in the
Home and Construction Products segment kept pace with the sales increase.

Selling and administrative expenses increased at a lower rate than the
sales increase due to cost containment efforts and to the fixed nature of
certain of the expenses.

Net interest expense decreased 14% reflecting lower levels of debt and
somewhat lower effective interest rates.

The effective income tax rate was approximately 41% in both periods.

Improvement in the operation of the Company's unconsolidated affiliate
resulted in a breakeven level of profit compared to a loss in the prior
period.


Six Month Period Ended December 31, 1993 Compared To The Six Month Period
Ended December 31, 1992

Consolidated net sales increased $12,763 or 14% led by a 16% increase in
the Industrial Products segment and followed by an 8% increase in the
Home and Construction Products segment.  Increases in vehicle production
and the growing economy generated the Industrial Products segment growth. 
Growth in the Home and Construction Products segments was somewhat
limited due to weaker demand from certain customers.

Gross profit increased from 18% of net sales to 19% primarily due to
strong performance from the Industrial Products segment.  Added volume
and greater efficiencies generated this improvement.  Improved operations
in the Home and Construction Products segment resulted in a 23% increase
in margins on an 8% increase in sales.

<PAGE>
Selling and administrative expenses increased, but at a rate lower than
the increase in sales.  This primarily reflects the fixed nature of
certain of these expenses.

Net interest expense decreased 19% reflecting lower levels of debt and,
to a lesser extent, lower effective interest rates.

The effective income tax rate decreased modestly reflecting a favorable
impact of state income taxes.

The operations of the Company's unconsolidated affiliate improved to near
breakeven.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 1992, the FASB adopted Statement 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.

                                                      Six Months Ended

Working capital at December 31, 1993 represented approximately 15% of
annualized sales, a level within a range the Company considers normal and
has maintained for at least five years. Cash required for capital
expenditures, required debt payments and working capital requirements
exceeded that provided by income and depreciation.  The Company expects
to generate positive cash flow during the last six months of the fiscal
year and to internally generate the cash required for operations and to
finance capital expenditures.

At December 31, 1993, the Company had $18,000 of bank lines of credit,
none of which were used or require compensating balances or commitment
fees.  Based on current operating plans, the Company does not believe it
will be necessary to utilize these lines for any significant borrowing
during the remainder of the year.
