          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             (Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)

1.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES

            The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of September 30,
            1994, the consolidated condensed income statements for the
            three month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, and
            the statements of consolidated cash flows for the three
            month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 have been
            prepared by the Company without audit.  The June 30, 1994
            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 September 30, 1994 and for all
            periods presented have been made.

            In October 1994, The Financial Accounting Standard Board
            issued SFAS No. 119, "Disclosure about Derivative Financial
            Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments" and
            requires additional disclosures about derivative financial
            instruments including interest rate swaps.

            The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements with
            the objective of converting fixed rate debt to variable rate
            debt in order to take advantage of lower variable rates
            expected over the period of the swap.  The swaps are settled
            every six months and the effect is recorded as an increase
            or decrease to current interest expense during the
            appropriate six-month period.  

            Certain other 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, 1994 annual
            report to stockholders.  The results of operations for the
            period ended September 30, 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 46% of the Company's inventories at
            September 30 and June 30, 1994, respectively, and by the
            first-in, first-out (FIFO) and actual cost methods for all
            other inventories.  The inventories are summarized as
            follows:             
                                            September 30        June 30   
                                                1994              1994  

           Raw materials and supplies         $14,315           $13,350
           Work in process                      9,758             8,609
           Finished goods                      12,026            12,288   
                                               36,099            34,247   
           Less LIFO reserve                   (8,979)           (8,595)  
           Total                              $27,120           $25,652   


            The replacement cost of inventories at September 30 and June
            30, 1994 approximates FIFO value.

3.      LONG-TERM DEBT

            The Company must meet certain debt covenants.  Under the
            most restrictive covenant, $3,642 of retained earnings at
            September 30, 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 September 30, 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
            September 30, 1994, $2,000 of the lines were used.

5.      TAXES ON INCOME

            The effective tax rate for the periods ended September 30,
            1994 and 1993 were 41.0% and 41.5%, respectfully.  

6.      CONTINGENCIES

            The Company is currently involved in matters of litigation
            arising from the normal course of business, including
            certain environmental and product liability matters.  There
            have been no material changes in any of these matters since
            June 30, 1994 and no additional liability has been recorded.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Month Period Ended September 30, 1994 Compared To The Three Month
Period Ended September 30, 1993.

Net sales increased $6,928 or 13.1% primarily due to a 17.5% increase in
the Industrial Products Group.  Market-focused efforts for non-automotive
business, especially computer and off-road construction equipment,
produced sales increases exceeding the increases in automotive markets. 
Sales in the Home and Construction Products Group were about as planned
and included shipments of new programs to two major home center
customers.  These shipments more than offset business lost during the
past year with two significant retail customers.

Consolidated gross profit remained constant at approximately 20% of net
sales.  While costs in the Industrial Products Group increased at a rate
lower than the rate of sales increase, higher costs related to initial
stocking and product introduction associated with the new business
depressed the margins in the Home and Construction Products Group.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased from 12.7% of net sales to
11.7% due to cost containment efforts and to the fixed nature of certain
of the expenses.

Net interest expense was approximately the same in both periods.  Lower
levels of debt were offset by higher interest rates on variable rate debt
and a less favorable effect of interest rate swap agreements.

The effective income tax rate decreased from 41.5% to 41.0% due to the
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 $19 to income of
$91 due to higher customer demand and the introduction of new higher
margin products.

Effective July 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits".  The effects of this change were immaterial, and, accordingly,
no cumulative effect adjustment for the adoption was required.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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.

                                                     Three Months Ended 
                                                        September 30
                                                     1994          1993
                                                       (in thousands)

Cash provided by (required for):
  Operating Activities                             $2,487        $2,315
  Investment Activities                            (4,783)       (3,351)
  Financing Activities                               (748)       (2,667)
Net cash required                                  (3,044)       (3,703)
Balance at the beginning of the period              3,861         8,013
Balance at the end of the period                   $  817        $4,310

                                                  
Working capital at September 30, 1994 was $31,531 or approximately 13% of
annualized sales, a level somewhat below the level the Company considers
normal.  This is reflective of the use of cash and short-term borrowing
to finance an increase in inventories to support the higher anticipated
level of sales and to finance purchases of capital expenditures that had
a high level of concentration in the first quarter.  The Company
anticipates that capital expenditures will approximate $14,500 for the
fiscal year, more than 30% of which was incurred in the first quarter.

At September 30, 1994, the Company had $18,000 of bank lines of credit,
$2,000 of which was used.

The Company believes that anticipated funds from operations and
additional use of the lines of credit during the next quarter will
satisfy the Company's projected cash requirements during the balance of
the fiscal year.
