           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, 
            1995, the consolidated condensed income statements for the
            three month and nine month periods ended March 31, 1995 and
            1994, and the statements of consolidated cash flows for the
            nine month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 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
            March 31, 1995 and for all periods presented have been made.

            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 March 31, 1995 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 51% and 46% of the Company's inventories at
            March 31 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:       
                 
                                              March 31          June 30

            The replacement cost of inventories at March 31 and June 30,
            1994 approximates FIFO value.

3.      LONG-TERM DEBT

            The Company must meet certain debt covenants.  Under the most
            restrictive covenant, $5,620 of retained earnings at March 31,
            1995 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, 1995, the Company had bank lines of credit
            permitting borrowing up to an aggregate of $22,000 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,
            1995, none of the lines were used.

5.      TAXES ON INCOME

            The effective tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 1995
            and 1994 were 41.0% and 41.5%, respectively.  The effective
            tax rates for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995 and
            1994 were 41.0% and 41.5%, respectively.

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 March 31, 1995 Compared To The Three Month Period
Ended March 31, 1994.

Net sales increased $9,034 or 15.7% including a 15.3% increase in the
Industrial Products Group and a 17.2% increase in the Home and Construction
Products Group.  Within the Industrial Products Group, an increased
marketing and operating focus for non-automotive business resulted in a 38%
increase for that business while automotive business increased 6%.  A major
realignment of the Home and Construction Products Group customer base to
higher growth segments of the do-it-yourself market strengthened that
group's sales.

Consolidated gross profit increased from 19.1% to 20.8% of net sales
primarily due to increased asset utilization in the Industrial Products
Group.  While gross profit for the Home and Construction Products Group
improved modestly from the year earlier period, it remained below normal
levels due to initial stocking and product introduction costs associated
with new business at two large home center customers gained in early 1994.

Selling and administrative expenses were comparable for both periods at
11.4%.  An increased investment in sales and marketing focus in the Home
and Construction Products Group, while beneficial in the long-term,
presented a short-term increase in selling and administrative expenses
stated as a percentage of sales for that group.

Net interest expense, while remaining at 1.3% of sales, increased even
though the level of debt was lower.  The increase was reflective of higher
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 income of Rocknel Fastener, Inc., a joint
venture company, increased as Rocknel improved capacity utilization by
adding new higher margin products to an expanded customer base.

Nine Month Period Ended March 31, 1995 Compared To The Nine Month Period
Ended March 31, 1994.

Net sales increased $21,429 or 13.1% with growth in the Industrial Products
Group at 15.3% and growth in the Home and Construction Products Group at
6.4%.  The increased marketing and operating focus described in the
quarterly period above, on the non-automotive portion of the Industrial
Products Group resulted in a 24% sales increase as compared to an 11%
increase in automotive business.

Consolidated gross profit increased modestly from 19.3% of net sales to
19.5%.  The benefit of performance improvement in the Industrial Products
Group was essentially offset in the Home and Construction Products Group by
initial stocking and product introduction costs associated with adding two
new large home centers in early 1994.  Since it typically takes a year to
get past these initial costs, the Company anticipates profits for this
group to begin to improve in the fourth fiscal quarter.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased from 11.9% to 11.6%
reflecting the benefit of absorbing committed costs over the increased
sales base.

Net interest expense remained relatively constant as a percent of sales for
the same reasons described in the previous section.

The effective income tax rate decreased form 41.5% to 41.0% for the same
reasons described in the previous section.

The Company's share of the results of operations of Rocknel Fastener, Inc.,
increased dramatically from $77 to $311 reflecting Rocknel's success at
utilizing available capacity to provide products to an expanded customer
base.

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 income 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

  Operating Activities                             $18,307       $10,094

  Financing Activities                              (5,443)       (4,873)
Net cash provided (required)                         1,064        (2,965)
Balance at the beginning of the period               3,861         8,013
Balance at the end of the period                   $ 4,925       $ 5,048

                                                  
Working capital at March 31, 1995 was $33,719 or approximately 14% of
annualized sales, approaching the 15% level the Company considers normal. 
This is reflective of the use of cash and, for a portion of the period,
short-term borrowing to finance an increase in inventories to support the
higher anticipated level of sales and to finance purchases of capital
expenditures.  The Company anticipates that capital expenditures will
approximate $17,500 for the fiscal year, more than 2/3 of which was
incurred in the first nine months.

At March 31, 1995, the Company had $22,000 of bank lines of credit, none of
which was used.

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