          Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

Note A -- Basis of Presentation    
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements   
("Statements") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted   
accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to 
Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair   
presentation of the results of operations for the periods covered have been   
reflected in the Statements.  Certain information and footnotes necessary for a 
fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations in   
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted in 
accordance with the aforementioned instructions. It is suggested that the   
Statements be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes   
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 
May 31, 1995.   
 
The Company accounts for its results of operations on a 52/53 week period   
ending on the Saturday nearest May 31 in each year. Quarterly results for the 
periods ended August 31, 1995 and August 31, 1994 are for 14 and 13 weeks,   
respectively.   
   
Note B -- Income Taxes   
The income tax provision of $930,000 for the three months ended August 31, 1995 
is based on the estimated effective tax rate of 35% for fiscal 1996 income. The 
income tax provision for first quarter of fiscal 1995 was also based on a 35% 
estimated effective tax rate. In both years, the rate differs from the   
applicable federal statutory rate of 34% principally as a result of state   
income taxes, partially offset by a foreign sales corporation tax benefit.

Sales, margin and expense comparisons are affected by the Company's accounting 
calendar, which included 14 weeks in the quarter ended August 31, 1995 and 13 
weeks in the quarter ended August 31, 1994.  Gross margins for the current year 
first quarter were 30.0%, compared to 29.1% in the prior year, reflecting   
higher product margins and lower manufacturing inefficiencies. Product margins 
were 31.4%, compared to 31.0% in the prior year. Manufacturing variances

included in the determination of operating results in the first quarter were 
insignificant, compared to $.3 million the prior year.   
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 
1996 were $13.3 million, an increase of $2.3 million from the prior year, as a 
result of sales staff additions, incentive payments on increased gross margins 
and the Company's accounting calendar. Selling, general and administrative 
expense as a percent of sales improved, declining to 23.3% from 23.7%.   
 
Investment income of $.5 million in the current year quarter compared to $.2 
million in the prior comparable period reflects higher realized capital gains. 
 
Net income was $1.7 million or $.15 per share, compared to $.8 million or $.07 
per share in the prior year first quarter.   
   
Liquidity and Capital Resources   
 
Cash provided by operations, exclusive of working capital requirements, was 
$2.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996, compared to $2.4 million for 
the first quarter last year. Higher working capital requirements of $11.6 
million in the current quarter and $5.8 million last year, debt service and 
dividend payments were met from cash generated by operations and by liquidation 
of investments. Quarterly working capital requirements are affected by the 
timing of semi-annual interest payments under the Company's long-term debt 
agreements. First quarter interest payments were $2.9 million in each of fiscal 
1996 and 1995.   
 
First quarter working capital requirements also include additional inventory   
investments of $6.5 million in fiscal 1996 and $4.0 million in fiscal 1995 to 
support sales growth in the SSC, DPG, and SSD business units. Working capital 
requirements in fiscal 1996 include a $1.1 million payment related to the   
settlement of audits of the Company's fiscal 1991 and 1992 federal income tax 
returns. Subsequent to August 31, 1995, the Company received $2.7 million in  
federal and state tax refunds.

Certain of the Company's loan agreements contain various financial and   
operating covenants which set benchmark levels for tangible net worth, 
debt / tangible net worth ratio and annual debt service coverage. The Company  
was in compliance with these covenants at August 31, 1995.   

The $8 million short-term bank loan due August 31, 1995 was extended to   
November 30, 1995. The Company is negotiating a $25 million revolving credit 
facility to consolidate an existing $10.2 million long-term loan and the $8 
million short-term loan and to provide an additional $6.8 million for working 
capital.   
 
In addition, certain of the current agreements contain restrictions on the 
Company relating to the purchase of treasury stock or the payment of cash 
dividends. At August 31, 1995, $4.7 million was available for such   
transactions. Payment of dividends will be considered quarterly based upon 
corporate performance.   
 
At August 31, 1995, the market value of the Company's non-current investment 
portfolio totaled $3.6 million. Included in the portfolio are high-yield 
investments for which management periodically evaluates the associated market 
risk.  The investments are being maintained for corporate purposes which may 
include short-term operating needs and the evaluation of opportunities for the 
Company's expansion. Cash reserves, investments, funds from operations and   
credit lines are expected to be adequate to meet the operational needs and   
future dividends of the Company.

$8,000,000.00                      Chicago.Illinois August 31, 1995
                                   Due  November 30, 1995

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (jointly and severally if
more than one) ("Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of
AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK AND TRUST COMPANY OF CHICAGO ("Bank"), at
its principal place of business in Chicago, Illinois or such other
place as Bank may designate from time to time hereafter, the
principal sum of Eight Million and no/100 Dollars, or such lesser
principal sum as may then be owed by Borrower to Bank hereunder.

     Borrowers obligations and liabilities to Bank under this Note
("Borrowers Liabilities") shall be due and payable on November 30,
1995.

     The unpaid principal balance of Borrowers Liabilities due
hereunder shall bear interest from the date hereof until paid,
computed as follows (delete inapplicable provisions): (ii) at a
daily rate equal to the daily rate equivalent of 0**% per annum
(computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed)
in excess of the rate of interest announced or published publicly
from time to time by Bank as its prime or base rate of interest
(the "Base Rate"); provided, however, that in the event that any of
Borrower's Liabilities are not paid when due, the unpaid amount of
Borrower's Liabilities shall bear interest after the due date until
paid at a rate equal to the sum of (a) the rate in effect prior to
the due date and (b) 3%.

     If the rate of interest to be charged by Bank to Borrower
hereunder is that specified in clause (ii), such rate shall
fluctuate hereafter from time to time concurrently with, and in an
amount equal to, each increase or decrease in the Base Rate,
whichever is applicable.

     Accrued interest shall be payable by Borrower to Bank with
each principal installment of Borrowers Liabilities due hereunder,
or as billed by Bank to Borrower, at Bank's principal place of
business, or at such other place as Bank may designate from time to
time hereafter.

     Borrower warrants and represents to Bank that Borrower shall
use the proceeds represented by this Note solely for proper
business purposes, and consistently with all applicable laws and
statutes.

The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute
a default by the Borrower ("Event of Default") under this Note (a)
if Borrower fails to pay any of Borrower's Liabilities when due and
payable: (b) if Borrower fails to perform, keep or observe any
term, provision, condition, covenant, warranty or representation
contained in this Note which is required to be performed, kept, or
observed by Borrower: (c) occurrence of a default or an event of
default under any agreement, instrument or document heretofore, now
or at any time hereafter delivered by or on behalf of Borrower to
Bank; (d) occurrence of a default or an event of default under any
agreement, instrument or document heretofore, now or at any time
hereafter delivered to Bank by any guarantor or Borrowers
Liabilities; (e) if any of Borrower's assets are attached, seized,
subjected to a writ of distress warrant, or are levied upon or
become subject to any lien or come within the possession of any
receiver, trustee, custodian or assignee for the benefit of
creditors: (f) if Borrower or any guarantor of Borrower's
Liabilities becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits
in writing its inability to pay, debts as they become due, if a
petition under any section or chapter of the Bankruptcy Reform Act
of 1978 or any similar law or regulation is filed by or against
Borrower or any such guarantor, if Borrower or any such guarantor
shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if any case
or proceeding is filed by or against Borrower or any such guarantor
for its dissolution or liquidation, or upon the death or
incompetency of Borrower or any such guarantor, or the appointment
of a conservator for all or any portion of Borrower's assets; or
(g) if a contribution failure occurs with respect to any pension
plan maintained by Borrower or any corporation, trade or business
that is, along with Borrower, a member of a controlled group of
corporations or a controlled group of trades or businesses (as
described in Sections 414(b) and (c) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 or Section 4001 of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")) sufficient to give rise to a
lien under Section 302(f) of ERISA; or (h) if Bank is reasonably
insecure.

     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at Bank's option,
without notice by Bank to or demand by Bank of Borrower, all of
Borrowers Liabilities shall be due and payable forthwith.

     All of Bank's rights and remedies under this Note are
cumulative and non-exclusive.  The acceptance by Bank of any
partial payment made hereunder after the time when any of
Borrower's Liabilities become due and payable will not establish a
custom, or waive any rights of Bank to enforce prompt payment
hereof.  Bank's failure to require strict performance by Borrower
of any provision of this Note shall not waive, affect or diminish
any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and
performance therewith.  Any waiver of an Event of Default hereunder
shall not suspend. waive or affect any other Event of Default
hereunder.  Borrower and every endorser waive presentment, demand
and protest and notice of presentment. protest, default
non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension
or renewal of this Note, and hereby ratify and confirm whatever
Bank may do in this regard.  Borrower further waives any and all
notice or demand to which Borrower might be entitled with respect
to this Note by virtue of any applicable statute or law (to the
extent permitted by law).

     Borrower agrees to pay, upon Bank's demand therefor, any and
all costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys fees, costs and
expenses) incurred by Bank (i) in enforcing any of Bank's rights
hereunder, and (ii) in representing Bank in any litigation,
contest, suit or dispute or to commence, defend or intervene or to
take any action with respect to any litigation, contests suit or
dispute (whether instituted by Bank, Borrower or any other person)
in any way relating to this Note or Borrower's Liabilities, and to
the extent not paid the same shall become part of Borrower's
Liabilities hereunder.

     This Note shall be deemed to have been submitted by Borrower
to Bank at Bank's principal place of business and shall be deemed
to have been made thereat.  This Note shall be governed and
controlled by the laws of the State of Illinois as to
interpretation, enforcement. validity, construction, effect, choice
of law and in all other respects.

THE VENUE OF ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT AGAINST BORROWER BY BANK IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PARAGRAPH.
