                             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 three
months ended September 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1998.




Note B - Debt

On October 15, 1997, the Bank approved a one year extension of the Company's
$25,000,000 Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. The Company has the
option to convert borrowings thereunder (classified as long-term debt) to a
term note through October 31, 2000, the 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, 2002. As of September 30,
1997, there was $2,760,000 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.





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



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Net sales for the Company's first quarter ended
September 30, 1997, increased $1,010,000, or 4.3%, compared with net sales
for the first quarter of the prior year. The increase is attributable to new
product development and the continued strong demand in North American
automobile sales.


Gross profit for the three month period ended September 30, 1997, increased
$546,000, or 21.2%, as compared with gross profit for the first quarter of
the prior year. The increase is attributable mainly to additional volume and
product mix.

Selling and administrative expenses increased $419,000, or 33.7%, for the
first quarter ended September 30, 1997, as compared with the first quarter of
the prior year. The increase is mainly attributable to the increase in
compensation which is driven by increased profitability.
