                             FEDERAL SCREW WORKS
             NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The results of operations for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997.


Note B - Debt
On October 24, 1995, the Company entered into a $25,000,000 Revolving Credit
and Term Loan Agreement with a Bank. This agreement replaces the agreement in
effect as of September 21, 1989, as amended. On October 23, 1996, the Bank
approved a one year extension of the revolving credit facility and term loan
option. The Company now has the option to convert borrowings thereunder
(classified as long-term debt) to a term note through October 31, 1999, the
new expiration date of the Agreement. Payments under the term note, if the
conversion option is exercised, would be made quarterly and could extend to
October 31, 2001. The Company had the option to extend the Agreement one year
later than the revolving credit maturity date then in effect. As of March 31,
1997, there was $1,855,000 in outstanding borrowings under the Revolving
Credit and Term Loan Agreement.


Note C - Dividends
Cash dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding at the
respective dates of declaration.


Note D - Earnings Per Share and Capital Structure

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued this year "Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, and No. 129,
Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure."  The adoption of these
standards will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Net sales for the Company's third quarter ended March
31, 1997, increased $4,019,000, or 17.1%, compared with net sales for the
third quarter of the prior year. Net sales for the nine month period ended
March 31, 1997, increased $8,076,000, or 12.1%, compared with the nine month
period of the prior year. The increase is largely attributable to the strong
demand for current automotive and refrigeration products, as well as new
products developed to serve these industries.


Gross profit for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, increased
$977,000, or 28.9%, as compared with gross profit for the third quarter of
the prior year. Gross profit for the nine month period ended March 31, 1997,
increased $2,557,000, or 32.1%, compared with the nine month period of the
prior year. The increase is attributable mainly to the new product programs,
as well as to the increase in sales.


Selling and administrative expenses increased $270,000, or 19.2%, for the
third quarter ended March 31, 1997, as compared with the third quarter of the
prior year. Selling and administrative expenses increased $812,000, or 22.9%,
as compared with the nine month period ended March 31, 1996. The increase is
mainly attributable to increases in compensation.


DIVIDENDS: The Board of Directors, in February 1997, declared a $.10 per
share dividend paid April 1, 1997, to shareholders of record March 7, 1997.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Working capital decreased by $2,093,000 from
