                            JUNE 28, 1996



 NOTE C - PURCHASE OF DEVON INDUSTRIES, INC.

    On February 29, 1996, the Company acquired all the outstanding common stock
 of Devon Industries, Inc., a closely held California corporation ("Devon").
 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. and affiliates
 thereof. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
 accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of Devon are included in
 the consolidated results of the Company from February 29, 1996, the date of
 the acquisition. Goodwill associated with the acquisition is being amortized
 on a straight-line basis over a 40 year period. The pro forma unaudited results
 of operations for the six months ended June 28, 1996 and June 30, 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 cost of performing these
 procedures, including ongoing operation and monitoring, of $1,026,000 was
 provided for 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 cost of performing the required work
 may differ from the amount currently estimated, management does not believe
 that any such variance would be material to the financial statements.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Three Months Ended June 28, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1995.

Sales for the quarter ended June 28, 1996 were $62,828,000, an increase of
$19,258,000 or 44.2% compared to sales of $43,570,000 in the quarter ended
June 30, 1995.  The increase is primarily the result of incremental sales
volume associated with the Devon acquisition which was completed on
February 29, 1996 (the "Devon Acquisition").

Cost of Sales increased by $10,921,000 or 45.7% from $23,893,000 in the second
quarter 1995 to $34,814,000 in the second quarter 1996.  The increase is
primarily attributable to the incremental sales volume associated with the
Devon Acquisition.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined from 45.2%
in the second quarter 1995 to 44.6% in the second quarter 1996.  The decrease
is attributable to the change in sales mix between medical and industrial
products. Medical products generally have lower margins than industrial
products. Medical gross margins, however, improved from the same quarter
last year due to the acquisition of higher margin Devon products.

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses increased by $6,260,000 or 50.0%
from $12,523,000 in the second quarter 1995 to $18,783,000 in the second
quarter 1996.  The increase is primarily attributable to the Devon Acquisition.
As a percentage of sales, expenses increased to 29.9% from 28.7% in the
comparable period of 1995.  This ratio is expected to improve in the second
half of the year as a result of the elimination of duplicate selling and
administrative costs from the Devon organization which did not become effective
until June 3, 1996.

Amortization expense increased from $185,000 in the second quarter 1995 to
$1,956,000 in the second quarter 1996.  The increase is attributable to the
higher goodwill expense due to Bessemer Holdings, L.P.'s acquisition of the
Company (the "Company Sale") and the Company's subsequent acquisition of Devon.

Non-reoccurring Expense represents one-time costs associated with the
consolidation and integration of Devon and other management reorganizations.
These costs in the second quarter of 1996 totaled $1,635,000.  Management
expects these expenses will increase due to other [profit enhancing]
initiatives scheduled for the second half of the year.

Operating Income declined by $1,105,000 from $6,932,000 in the second quarter
1995 to $5,827,000 in the second quarter 1996.  The decrease is the result of
the increased amortization and one-time costs associated with the Company Sale
and the Devon Acquisition.

Net Interest Expense increased from $970,000 in the second quarter 1995 to
$5,444,000 in the second quarter of 1996.  The increase was the result of the
increased indebtedness in connection with the Company Sale and the Devon
Acquisition.

Six Months Ended June 28, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995.

Sales for the six months ended June 28, 1996 increased by $26,308,000 or 30.2%
from $87,125,000 in the first half 1995 to $113,433,000 in the first half 1996.
The increase is primarily attributable to the incremental sales volume from the
Devon Acquisition. However, sales of the base medical North American products
(excluding Devon) achieved record levels in the first half of the year.  Sales
of industrial products declined by 5.3% compared to an exceptionally strong
first half of 1995 in which 52.5% of the total 1995 industrial products sales
were recorded. International sales were comparable to the prior year period.

Gross Margins declined from 45.9% for the six month ended June 30, 1995 to
44.9% for the six months ended June 28, 1996. The changing sales mix between
medical and industrial products was the primary cause for the decrease. Gross
margins on medical sales for the first half of 1996 remained the same compared
to the prior year period.  Industrial gross margins improved compared to the
first half, whereas International margins decreased slightly.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses increased by $8,822,000 from
$24,772,000 in the first half of 1995 to $33,594,000 in the first half of 1996.
The increase was attributable to the Devon Acquisition.  Costs for the base
North American operation (excluding Devon) declined compared to last year,
reflecting the Company initiatives to reduce administrative expenses.

Amortization expense increased from $371,000 in the first half of 1995 to
$3,673,000 in the comparable period in 1996 which reflects the increased
goodwill from the Company Sale and the Devon Acquisition.

Operating Income decreased by $2,619,000 to $12,199,000 due to the increased
amortization and non-reoccurring expenses pertaining to the Company Sale and
the Devon Acquisition. Furthermore, approximately 52% of the 1995 operating
income was recorded in the first half due to higher than normal sales of
industrial and cable and leadwire sales.  These sales normalized in the last
half of 1995.

Net Interest Expense increased from $2,067,000 in the first half of 1995 to
$9,975,000 in the first half of 1996.  Aggregate indebtedness at June 30, 1995
was $225,151,000 which is down $9,000,000 from original borrowings associated
with the Company Sale and the Devon Acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.  During the six-month period ended June 28,
1996, the Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,662,000 to
$(181,000).  The primary reason for the decrease was spending for additions to
property, plant and equipment of $2,716,000 and repayment of senior debt of
$2,480,000. 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 pursuant to the Devon
Acquisition 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. and affiliates thereof. The required
amortization payments under the Company's amended Senior Bank Credit
Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") are $437,000 for the remainder of 1996,
$9,400,000 in 1997, $12,100,000 in 1998, $13,300,000 in 1999, and $14,300,000
in 2000. At June 28, 1996, the Company was in compliance with all of the
covenant requirements of the Credit Agreement.
