          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------
Certain sections in this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements
within the meanings of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties regarding matters
that could significantly affect expected results including information
about industry trends, growth, orders, capital expenditures and backlog.
Thus, actual results may vary materially from these forward-looking
statements depending on a variety of factors which include, but are not
limited to, changes in the telecommunications, computer, aerospace and
defense markets; reductions, terminations or changes in U.S. Government
defense budget priorities; variability of capital equipment markets and
other risks which are detailed in other Company documents filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake any
obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions that may be
made to these forward-looking statements to reflect any future events or
circumstances.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended April 30, 1997 Compared with Three Months Ended
April 30, 1996

Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 1997 were $98 million
compared with $89 million in the same period in 1996. Aerospace/Defense
Group sales were $35.3 million, an increase of 42% over the same period in
1996. The Aerospace/Defense Group experienced another strong quarter, which
can be attributed to both the sales contributed by Mason, acquired in
August 1996, and the continued performance in the commercial aerospace
markets. Automation Group sales declined $2.1 million to $37.9 million when
compared with the same period in 1996. Excellon's performance in early 1996
was exceptionally strong, but then was hit by an industry-wide slowdown in
the spring of 1996, however, improvement has been noted recently.
Instrumentation Group sales improved slightly, 3%, to $24.7 million when
compared with $24 million during the same period in 1996.

Sales for the three months ended April 30, by Group, were as follows:
(In thousands)
                                       1997              1996
                                    ---------         ---------
        Automation                  $  37,932         $  39,987
        Aerospace and Defense          35,347            24,954
        Instrumentation                24,672            24,034
                                    ---------         ---------
        Total Sales                 $  97,951         $  88,975
                                    =========         =========

Total gross margin as a percentage of sales was 40% for the three months
ended April 30, 1997 and remained unchanged from the prior year period. The
Groups' gross margins ranged from 38% to 41% compared with the prior year
period of 39% to 42%. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the
three months ended April 30, 1997 increased to $28 million compared with
$26.5 million during the same period in 1996; and as a percentage of net
sales were 1% lower at 29% for the three months ended April 30, 1997 when

                                 6
<PAGE>

compared with 30% during the same period in 1996. The percentage 
reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses was largely 
the result of reduced requirements for doubtful accounts receivable 
reserves, as a result of favorable collections in the period.

Interest income decreased $127,000 to $474,000 for the three months ended
April 30, 1997, compared with $601,000 during the same period in 1996,
principally due to the overall decrease in cash from period to period.
Interest expense decreased $183,000 to $947,000 for the three months ended
April 30, 1997, compared with $1.1 million during the same period in 1996
primarily due to a reduction in the outstanding 8.75% Senior Notes from
period to period.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 1997
increased to 36% compared with 29% for the same period in 1996 due
primarily to reduced tax benefits and a lower proportion of tax-exempt
interest income.

New orders for the three months ended April 30, 1997 were $117 million,
compared with $106.7 million during the same period in 1996. All three
Groups' new orders indicate an upward trend over the last three quarters,
as a result of the improvement in the electronics capital equipment market,
the continued strength in the commercial aerospace business and the timing
of receipt of certain defense orders.

Six Months Ended April 30, 1997 Compared with Six Months Ended
April 30, 1996

Net sales for the first six months of 1997 were $180.1 million compared
with $173 million in the same period in 1996. The Aerospace/Defense Group
continued to perform well, posting an increase in sales of $18.4 million to
$64.1 million for the first six months of 1997. Automation Group sales of
$68.9 million during the first six months of 1997 did not match the prior
year's exceptionally strong performance of $81.2 million, contributed in
large part by Excellon. Recovery in demand for Excellon's printed circuit
board drilling equipment has been noted since last spring's industry-wide
slump. Instrumentation Group sales increased 3% to $47.1 million when
compared with the prior year period of $45.9 million.

Sales for the six months ended April 30, by Group, were as follows:
(In thousands)
                                       1997              1996
                                    ---------         ---------
        Automation                  $  68,868         $  81,241
        Aerospace and Defense          64,140            45,790
        Instrumentation                47,141            45,941
                                    ---------         ---------
        Total Sales                 $ 180,149         $ 172,972
                                    =========         =========

Total gross margin as a percentage of sales for the first six months of
1997 decreased 1% to 39% when compared with the first six months of 1996.
The Groups' gross margins ranged from 37% to 40% in the first six months of
1997 compared with 38% to 40% during the same period in 1996. Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the first six months of 1997
increased to $54.2 million compared with $53.5 million in the same period
in 1996, but as a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased from 31% for the first six months of 1996
to 30% during the same period in 1997. 

                                     7

<PAGE>

The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 1997 was 35%, 
an increase of 3% over the prior year period.

New orders for the first six months of 1997 were $202.2 million, compared
with $184.3 million during the same period in 1996. Companywide, backlog
at April 30, 1997 was $149.3 million compared with $114.5 million at
April 30, 1996, an increase of 30%. It is expected that $71.4 million in
backlog will ship after 1997. All orders are subject to cancellation until
delivery.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and equivalents on hand at April 30, 1997 totaled $48.6 million, an
increase of $2.2 million from October 31, 1996. Net working capital
increased $11.9 million from $73.4 million at October 31, 1996 to
$85.3 million at April 30, 1997. The net increase in working capital was
attributed to increases in cash, inventory and accounts payable offset by
decreases in accounts receivable and accrued liabilities.

Capital expenditures, consisting of buildings, machinery, equipment and
computers, are anticipated to be approximately $27 million during 1997,
compared with $17.2 million in 1996. Capital expenditures for the six
months ended April 30, 1997 totaled $7.8 million and were primarily
computers, machinery and equipment for the Aerospace/Defense and
Instrumentation Groups.

Total debt at April 30, 1997 decreased slightly from October 31, 1996 to
$40.4 million from $40.9 million. Of the total debt outstanding at
April 30, 1997, $34.3 million was related to the Company's 8.75% Senior
Notes and $6.1 million was outstanding under various foreign currency debt
agreements. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Company's
primary credit facility. An annual principal repayment on the Senior Notes
in the amount of $5.7 million is scheduled to be made on July 30, 1997.
This repayment schedule will continue until the Senior Notes mature on
July 30, 2002.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 21, 1997 the Company sold its Angus Electronics subsidiary which was
part of the Instrumentation Group. Angus is a manufacturer of analog and
digital data acquisition and recorder products, and power instruments. This
sale will not have any material effect on the Company's financial position.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" which
supersedes APB Opinion 15 and will require the Company to report earnings
per outstanding share in addition to diluted earnings per share. Diluted
earnings per share under the new standard is not expected to be materially
different from currently reported earnings per share for the Company. The
standard becomes effective for financial statements for both interim and
annual periods ending after December 15, 1997 and early adoption is not
permitted.

                        PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- -------  -----------------
In October 1995, the Company identified irregularities in the allocation of
certain labor charges at its Armtec Defense Products subsidiary and is
participating in the Department of Defense Voluntary Disclosure Program.
Management believes that the eventual outcome of this issue will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial position or future operating
results of the Company.

In addition, the Company has various lawsuits and claims, both offensive
and defensive, and contingent liabilities arising from the conduct of
business, including those associated with Government contracting
activities, none of which, in the opinion of management, is expected to
have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
