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, 1994.   
   
Note B -- Income Taxes   
The income tax provisions for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 
28, 1995 are based on the estimated effective tax rate of 34% for 1995 income,  
as expected state income taxes are offset by U.S. foreign sales corporation tax 
benefits.  The income tax provisions for the three- and nine-month periods   
ended February 28, 1994 are based on the estimated effective tax rate of 40%   
for fiscal 1994 income.  The fiscal 1994 rate differs from the applicable   
federal statutory rate of 34% principally as a result of state income taxes and 
foreign operating losses for which the related tax benefit will not be   
recognized until the future foreign earnings are realized.   
   
Note C -- Phase-down of Manufacturing Operations   
The Company recorded a charge of $26,500,000 in the fourth quarter of 1994 to   
provide for the phase-down of its manufacturing operations, including   
$21,400,000 for planned sale or dissolution of its Brive, France facility and   
$5,100,000 for incremental costs related to a 1991 provision to phase down its  
domestic manufacturing operation.  Subsequent to February 28, 1995, the Company 
transfered the Brive operating assets to the local management group and the   
Brive facility to the City of Brive, in exchange for extinguishment of the   
related mortgage liability.  These transfers were completed during the fourth

quarter of 1995.  The Company has also entered into a three year purchase   
agreement with the local management group, whereby the Company has committed to 
purchase $8,682,000, $10,820,000 and $ 11,212,000, respectively in the first,   
second and final year of the contract. Costs incurred in the first nine months 
of 1995 related to the manufacturing phase-down were consistent with   
management's projections included in the 1994 charge.

Results of Operations    
   
Net sales for the quarter ended February 28, 1995 were a record $51,225,000, up 
19% from last year's third quarter of $43,051,000. Sales for the nine-month   
period were $148,670,000, a 21% increase from $123,097,000 in the prior year.  
Sales and gross margin by the Company's  strategic business units ("SBU") in   
1995 were as follows (Gross margins for each SBU include provisions for returns 
and overstock.  Provisions for LIFO, manufacturing charges and other costs are 
included under the caption "Corporate") (in thousands):

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis   
               of Financial Condition and Results of Operations   
             Three- and Nine-Month Periods Ended February 28, 1995   
                                  (Unaudited)   
   
   
The gross margin for the first nine months was 28.8%, compared to 27.7% in the 
prior year, reflecting the elimination of charges for manufacturing   
inefficiencies at the Company's production facility in Brive, France.    
Underabsorbed costs included in the determination of operating results in the 
first nine months of 1995 were $779,000,  all of which were associated with the 
Company's LaFox, Illinois facility.  In the prior-year comparable period, such 
costs were $3,991,000 relating to manufacturing in both LaFox and Brive.   
   
Operating losses related to Brive and anticipated to be incurred during 1995   
prior to the sale or dissolution of this operation were included in the 1994   
charge (See Note C of the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Condensed   
Financial Statements) and therefore did not affect 1995 results.  A loss of   
approximately $449,000 related to Brive operations was charged against the 1994 
reserve in 1995. Costs charged against the reserve, in the aggregate, were   
consistent with management's original estimate.  The gross margin improvement   
related to manufacturing was partially offset by changes in product mix and   
competitive pricing, which caused product margins on distribution sales to   
decline to 30.8% from 32.5%.   
   
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first nine months of   
fiscal 1995 were $34,833,000, an increase of $6,297,000 from the prior year,   
primarily due to personnel additions for expansion of the specialty sales   
program and incentive payments on increased gross margins.  Selling, general   
and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were comparable between   
periods at 23.4% in 1995 and 23.2% in 1994.    
   
Sales, gross margins and operating expense trends on a quarterly basis were   
comparable to year to date results.   
   
Interest expense for the first nine months declined 17% to $4,639,000,   
reflecting lower debt levels and the elimination of interest on a mortgage   
encumbering the Brive facility, as such interest expense was included in the   
determination of the Brive operating loss charged against the 1994 reserve. The 
trend for interest expense was similar on a quarterly basis. Investment income  
for the first nine months declined 51% to $1,022,000, reflecting lower   
investment levels in the current period and higher realized capital gains in   
last year's first nine months.  Third quarter investment income was slightly   
higher than the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources   
   
Cash provided by operations, exclusive of working capital requirements, was   
$7,183,000 in the first nine months of 1995, compared to $5,622,000 for the   
same period last year.  Higher working capital requirements in the first nine 
months of 1995 were  $10,928,000, including a $3,136,000 increase in   
inventories to support sales growth in the Display Products Group and Solid   
State & Components strategic business units, $2,563,000 in higher receivable   
balances and $2,936,000 for severance, professional fees and other   
disbursements related to the phase-down of manufacturing operations.   
   
Funding for the current year activity and for scheduled debt repayments was   
obtained through the liquidation of $7,767,000 from the long-term investment   
portfolio.  Cash reserves, investments and funds from operations are expected 
to be adequate to meet the operational needs and future dividends of the   
Company.   
   
Additional working capital requirements in 1994 were $11,580,000, including a  
$2,000,000 payment to the Internal Revenue Service in settlement of audits for 
1986 through 1990, as well as increases in receivables, and inventories and   
reductions in current liabilities.   
   
Certain of the Company's loan agreements contain various financial and   
operating covenants which set benchmark levels for tangible net worth, the   
ratio of debt to tangible net worth  and annual debt service coverage.  The   
Company was in compliance with these covenants at February 28, 1995.   
   
In addition, certain of these agreements contain restrictions relating to the 
purchase of treasury stock or the payment of cash dividends.  At February 28, 
1995, $3,126,000 was available for such transactions.  Payment of dividends   
will be considered quarterly based upon corporate performance.   
   
At February 28, 1995, the Company's non-current investment portfolio was   
$9,953,000, carried in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet at 
market value.  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.
