     Stock Option Plan (the 1982 Plan), and the Company's 1992 Incentive Stock
     Option Plan (the 1992 Plan). Treasury stock cost basis in excess of the
     proceeds received was charged to additional  paid-in capital.

     under the Company's 1982 Plan; 292,000 shares were reserved for issue

4.   Earnings Per Share Calculation --

     Earnings per share have been computed on the basis of weighted average
     shares outstanding during the respective interim periods.  Common share
     equivalents were excluded because their dilutive effect is not
     significant.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Consolidated sales for the three months increased $2,376,000, or 14% from the
prior year.  On a divisional basis, the comparative sales in thousands were as
follows:

                                    Three Months
                                 ------------------
                                    1996      1995
                                 -------   -------
Custom Components                $ 5,375   $ 5,688
Fluid Power                       10,969     7,881
Medical                            3,227     3,697
Less - interdivisional sales        (206)     (277)
                                 -------   -------
                                 $19,365   $16,989
                                 =======   =======

The Custom Components Group was down approximately 5% in sales and incurred a
modest operating loss.  The decline in sales was at Moxness Products and was
related to the drop in volume on end of life automotive projects.

Sales and operating income at the Fluid Power group grew 39% and 35%
respectively.  Both Milwaukee Cylinder and Power Gear posted double digit gains
in both sales and operating income.  The fastest growth came from Power Gear
where sales of its proprietary leveling and slide-out systems for the
recreational vehicle market continue to be a major contributor.

Sales and operating income at the Company's medical business for the first
quarter decreased 13% and 32% respectively.  These results were directly linked
to significant inventory adjustments made by key customers.  Our relationships
with these customers remain strong and we expect their volume to return to
historical levels during the second half of our fiscal year.  The decrease in
operating income was due primarily to two factors:  1) the lower volume and
resulting under absorption of cost and 2) higher operating expenses due to this
business now being fully staffed versus the same period a year ago.

On a consolidated basis while sales dollars were up 17%, gross profit dollars
increased only 3%.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 31% to
28% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  There were two primary reasons for
this drop.  First, gross profit at our medical business declined by over
$500,000 for the same reasons previously stated relating to operating income.
Second, while gross profit dollars at Fluid Power have increased substantially,
as a percentage of sales it has declined slightly due to the continued shift in
product mix to more Power Gear systems.  Gross margins at Power Gear have
historically been below those of Milwaukee Cylinder.  Power Gear accounted for
approximately 60% of the Fluid Power Group's total sales during the first
quarter.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Cash provided from operating activities was $2.7 million for the quarter, up
from $2.6 million for the same period last year.  This modest improvement was
due to higher earnings.  Significant changes in the balance sheet since March
31, 1996, offset each other, with a decrease in accounts receivable and an
increase in income taxes being offset by increased inventory and decreased
accounts payable.

Commitments for capital expenditures (investing activities) did not include any
significant amounts in excess of a normal level of replacement and improvements
to facilities and equipment.

On May 20, 1996 the Board of Directors expanded the company's stock buy back
program to 15% of outstanding shares from 10% authorized in February 1995.
During the quarter 232,600 shares were acquired for $3,105,000.  Through June
30, 1996, 492,300 shares of the total 900,000 authorized have been repurchased
under the plan at a cost of $6,676,000.

At June 30, 1996 the Company had working capital of $25,262,000.  Included in
working capital consisted of $12,218,000 of cash and cash equivalents.
Management anticipates that this liquidity plus internally generated funds
provided by operations will be sufficient to cover known demands for uses of
working capital.


Outlook

Order backlog on June 30, 1996 was $12,734,000 versus $15,447,000 one year ago.
Backlog at both Medical and Custom Components decreased while Fluid Power's
backlog was flat.  Management expects that sales and earnings for the balance
of fiscal 1997 will improve versus the same period last year.
