 NOTE C - PURCHASE OF DEVON INDUSTRIES, INC.

    On February 28, 1996, the Company acquired all the outstanding common stock
 of Devon Industries, Inc., a closely held California corporation. Devon is a
 developer, manufacturer, and marketer of disposable medical and surgical
 supplies. The total cost of the transaction was approximately $99 million,
 including estimated expenses of $5 million, and up to $7 million in deferred
 consideration contingent upon Devon's future financial performance. The Devon
 transaction was financed with $67.5 million of bank debt and $31.5 million of
 new equity provided by Bessemer Holdings, L.P. The pro forma unaudited results
 of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995,
 assuming consummation of the purchase and related financing as of January 1,
 1995, are as follows:

 NOTE D - CONTINGENT MATTERS

    In accordance with an agreement with the Pennsylvania Department of
 Environmental Resources, the Company is required to perform certain
 environmental removal and remediation actions at its former coating facility
 located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The estimated costs of performing these
 procedures, including ongoing operation and monitoring, of $1,026,000 was
 provided in 1993. The Company has completed removal and remediation according
 to the agreement and is currently monitoring the impact of the actions taken.
 Although the ultimate costs of performing the required work may differ from the
 amount currently estimated, management does not believe that any such variances
 would be material to the financial statements.

Operating income...........         12.6%                     18.1%
</TABLE>

NET SALES.  Net sales for the first quarter 1996 increased by $7.1 million or
16.3% from $43.6 million in 1995 to $50.6 in 1996.  $6.0 million of the increase
was attributable to the acquisition of Devon Industries, Inc. ("Devon") on
February 29, 1996.  Sales of Graphic Controls' North American medical products
increased by 9.2% over the prior period primarily due to continued strong demand
for electrode and diagnostic imaging products.  Partially offsetting this
increase was a reduction in sales of cable and leadwires and industrial chart
sales as compared to the prior period in 1995 when both products experienced
higher than normal sales.  Sales of cables and leadwires in the first quarter of
1995 were positively impacted by increased marketplace demand due to a shift to
safety product that began in 1994.  Also in the first quarter of 1995, sales of
industrial charts were positively impacted by a strong backlog at the beginning
of the year.  This backlog was attributable to the closing of the Company's
manufacturing facility in Clayton, New York in the fourth quarter of 1995 and
the acquisition of Leeds & Northrup products in the second half of 1994.

GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased by $2.6 million or 12.8% from $20.3
million in the first quarter of 1995 to $22.9 million in the first quarter 1996.
The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Devon.  Gross
profit as a percentage of sales declined from 46.6% in 1995 to 45.3% in 1996.
The decrease was primarily due to the increased sales of lower margin medical
products and the unfavorable sales volume at Tronomed.  The Company has decided
to relocate Tronomed manufacturing from San Juan Capistrano, California into the
Cherry Hill, New Jersey plant.  Implementation of the plan will begin in April,
and integration is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year.


SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A") EXPENSES.  SG&A expenses increased
by $4.1 million or 33.1% from $12.4 million for the prior period in 1995 to
$16.5 million in 1996.  $2.5 million of the increase was due to the acquisition
of Devon.  In addition, goodwill expense increased by $1.4 million over the
prior period due Bessemer Holdings, L.P.'s acquisition of the Company and Devon.
Regarding the Devon acquisition, the Company announced a plan to consolidate the
sales forces, distribution systems, marketing departments and administrative
functions of Devon and Graphic Controls which will result in savings in excess
of $4 million annually once the integration is completed.

OPERATING INCOME.  Operating Income declined by $1.5 million or 19% from $7.9
million in the first quarter 1995 to $6.4 million in the first quarter 1996.
The decrease is primarily the result of the increased amortization associated
with the foregoing acquisitions.

<PAGE>
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.  During the first quarter ended March 31, 1996,
the Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2.2 million to $(.7)
million.  The primary reason for the decrease was spending for additions to
property, plant and equipment of $1.0 million and repayment of senior debt of
$1.1 million. The Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations and
existing lines of credit will be sufficient to meet normal operating
requirements for 1996.

On February 29, 1996, the Company acquired Devon for approximately $99 million
including expenses.  The transaction was financed with $67.5 million of bank
debt and $31.5 million of new equity provided by Bessemer Holdings, L.P.  The
required amortization payments under the Company's revised Senior Bank Credit
Agreement are $1.8 million for the remainder of 1996, $9.4 million in 1997,
$12.1 million in 1998, $13.3 million in 1999, and $14.3 million in 2000. At
March 31, 1996, the Company was in compliance with all of the bank covenant
requirements.
