(1)  The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
     prepared by the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
     regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
     information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
     regulations, although the Registrant believes that the disclosures are
     adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is
     suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read
     in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
     the Registrant's 1995 annual report on Form 10-K.

(2)  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of
     only a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the
     financial position of the Registrant as of June 30, 1996, and December 31,
     1995, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
     presented.

(3)  Inventories consisted of the following at the respective quarter end:

(4)  All earnings per share amounts and weighted daily average of shares of
     common stock outstanding have been restated, to reflect the two-for-one
     stock split effected in the form of a 100 percent common stock dividend
     issued to shareholders on June 24, 1996.

(5)  The Company has been involved in patent litigation with Donnelly
     Corporation since 1990 concerning a number of patents relating to
     electrochromic mirrors owned by the Company and Donnelly.

     During the first quarter, the Company reached a settlement agreement with
     Donnelly to resolve all of the patent litigation between the two
     companies.  Under the agreement:

         The companies have cross-licensed certain patents (for the life of the
         patents) that each company may practice within its own "core"
         electrochromic technology area.

         The Company paid Donnelly $6 million in April 1996 (plus a $200,000
         contingent payment if Donnelly prevails in its lighted mirror patent
         appeal) as full and complete satisfaction of all of Donnelly's patent
         infringement claims.

         The companies agreed not to pursue litigation against each other on
         certain other patents for a period of four years.

     The Company recorded a one-time charge of $4,000,000 ($6,000,000 payment,
     net of accrued reserves) during the first quarter in connection with the
     settlement of its patent litigation with Donnelly.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND 
        FINANCIAL CONDITION 

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

        SECOND QUARTER  1996  VERSUS  SECOND QUARTER  1995

        Net Sales.  Net sales for the second quarter of 1996 increased by
        approximately $12,652,000, or 49%, when compared with the second
        quarter last year.  Net sales of the Company's automotive mirrors
        increased by 56% as automatic mirror unit shipments increased from
        approximately 506,000 in the second quarter of 1995 to 811,000 in the
        current quarter.  This increase primarily reflected increased
        penetration on domestic and foreign 1996 model year vehicles for
        interior and exterior electrochromic Night Vision Safety(TM) (NVS(R))
        Mirrors.  Net sales of the Company's fire protection products increased
        14%, primarily due to increased sales of its AC/DC smoke detectors and
        strobe related products.

        Cost of Goods Sold.  As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold
        increased from 61% in the first quarter of 1995 to 63% for the
        comparable period in 1996.  This increased percentage primarily
        reflects automotive customer price reductions for the 1996 model year,
        as well as changes in the Company's product mix of automotive mirror
        shipments.

        Operating Expenses.  Research and development expenses increased
        approximately $377,000, but decreased from 6% to 5% of net sales, when
        compared with the same quarter last year, primarily reflecting
        additional staffing.  Selling, general and administrative expenses
        decreased approximately $616,000, and decreased from 13% to 7% of net
        sales, when compared with the second quarter of 1995.  This decreased
        expense primarily reflected lower patent litigation legal expense
        accruals of $300,000, compared to $1,200,000 last year.

        Other Income - Net.   Investment income increased by approximately
        $82,000 when compared with the second quarter of 1995, primarily due to
        the higher investable fund balances and higher interest rates.

        SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

        Net Sales.  Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996, increased
        by approximately $22,517,000, or 43%, when compared with the same
        period last year.  Automatic mirror unit shipments increased from
        approximately 1,025,000 in the first six months of 1995 to 1,531,000 in
        first six months of 1996.  This increase primarily reflected increased
        penetration on domestic and foreign 1996 model year vehicles for
        interior and exterior electrochromic Night Vision Safety(TM) (NVS(R))
        Mirrors.  Net sales of the Company's fire protection products increased
        13%, as increased sales to other customers offset reduced shipments of
        its strobe warning light to a major customer that has developed its own
        strobe product.

        Cost of Goods Sold.  As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold
        increased from 60% in the first six months of 1995 to 62% for the
        comparable period in 1996.  This increased percentage primarily
        reflects automotive customer price reductions for the 1996 model year
        and changes to the Company's product mix of automotive mirror
        shipments.

        Operating Expenses.   For the six months ended June 30, 1996, research
        and development expenses increased approximately $716,000, but
        decreased from 6% to 5% of net sales, when compared with the same
        period last year, primarily reflecting additional staffing.  Selling,
        general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $43,000,
        and decreased from 12% to 9% of net sales, when compared with the first
        six months of 1995.  This decreased expense primarily reflected higher
        selling expenses associated with the sales growth, offset by lower
        patent litigation accruals of $1,500,000, compared to $2,100,000 last
        year, as a result of the patent litigation settlement at the end of the
        first quarter.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND  
        FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONT.)

        SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
        (CONT.)

        Other Income - Net.   Other income for the six months ended June 30,
        1996, increased by approximately $270,000 as compared to the first six
        months of 1995, primarily due to the higher investable fund balances
        and higher interest rates.


        FINANCIAL CONDITION:

        Management considers the Company's working capital and long-term
        investments totaling approximately $83,377,000 at June 30, 1996,
        together with internally generated cash flow and an unsecured
        $5,000,000 line of credit from a bank, to be sufficient to cover
        anticipated cash needs for the foreseeable future.


        TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS:

        The Company currently supplies NVS(R) Mirrors to BMW, Chrysler
        Corporation, Ford Motor Company and General Motors Corporation under
        long-term contracts.  The General Motors contract is through the 1998
        model year, and the contracts with BMW are for the four-year period
        ending March 31, 1999.  The term of the Ford contract is through
        December 1999, and the Chrysler contract runs through the 1999 Model
        Year.

        The Company has agreed to price reductions over the life of its
        long-term contracts and continues to experience pricing pressures from
        its automotive customers, which have affected, and which will continue
        to affect its margins to the extent that the Company is unable to
        offset the price reductions with productivity improvements, engineering
        cost reductions and increases in unit sales volume.  In addition, the
        Company continues to experience some pressure for raw material cost
        increases.
