   ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

   The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion
   of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the
   interim periods presented.  All adjustments are normal and recurring.  All
   items stated herein are subject to year-end audit.

   =================================================================

   MATERIAL CONTINGENCIES:

   A)     Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk.

   To meet the financing needs of consumers of its collision repair and
   engine rebuilding products, the Company is, in the normal course of
   business, a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. 
   The instruments are guarantees of notes payable to financing institutions
   arranged by the Company.  The Company performs credit reviews on all such
   guarantees.  These guarantees extend for periods of up to six years and
   expire in decreasing amounts through 2001.  The amount guaranteed to each
   institution is contractually limited to a portion of the amount financed
   in a given year.  The notes are collateralized by the equipment financed. 
   Proceeds from the resale of recovered equipment have generally been 80% to
   90% of repurchased notes.

   The maximum credit risk to the Company at September 27, 1997 was
   approximately $1,900,000.

   B)     Litigation

   The Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims and administrative
   actions arising in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of
   management, the Company's  liability, if any, under any pending litigation
   or administrative proceeding would not materially affect its financial
   condition or operations.

   C)     Environmental Claims

   From time to time the Company is identified as a potentially responsible
   party in environmental matters, primarily related to waste disposal sites,
   which contain residuals from the manufacturing process that were
   previously disposed of by the Company in accordance with applicable
   regulations in effect at the time of disposal.  Materials generated by the
   Company at these sites have been small and claims against the Company have
   been handled on a de minimis basis. In addition, the Company has
   indemnified purchasers of property previously sold by the Company against
   any environmental damage which may have existed at the time of the sale. 
   In the opinion of management, the Company's liability, if any, under any
   pending administrative proceeding, claim, or investigation, would not
   materially affect its financial condition or operations.

   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

   Pursuant to an agreement entered into on April 9, 1997, on
   May 29, 1997, the Company sold for cash substantially all of the business
   and assets, and transferred certain of the liabilities, of its Great Bend
   Industries Division to Kaydon Acquisition VIII, Inc., a wholly-owned
   subsidiary of Kaydon Corporation.

   Pursuant to an agreement entered into on August 18, 1997, on August 28,
   1997, the Company sold for cash substantially all of the business,
   including certain assets and liabilities, of its Winona Van Norman
   Division to Van Norman Equipment Co., Inc.

   ITEM 2:   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
             Results of Operations

   Results of Operations

   Net sales from continuing operations for the third quarter of 1997 were
   $7.5 million, versus $8.8 million for the third quarter of 1996.  Net
   sales originating in North America were $3.7 million for the third quarter
   of 1997, compared with $3.6 million for the prior year quarter.  Net sales
   of the European operation for the third quarter of 1997 were $3.8 million,
   compared with $5.2 million for the 1996 quarter due primarily to the
   strong U.S. dollar and generally weak business conditions in Western
   Europe.

   Net sales from continuing operations for the nine months ended September
   27, 1997 were $27.1 million, compared with $29.4 million for the 1996
   period.  North American net sales for the nine months of 1997 were $12.6
   million, compared with $13.1 million for the nine months of 1996, while
   European net sales were $14.5 million for the nine months of 1997,
   compared with $16.3 million for the nine months of 1996.  Once again, the
   decline in European net sales was due primarily to the strong U.S. dollar
   and generally weak business conditions in Western Europe.

   Gross profit margins from continuing operations in North America were
   45.0% for the third quarter of 1997 compared with 49.9% for the third
   quarter of 1996.  European margins were 49.3% for the third quarter of
   1997 versus 45.0% for the 1996 quarter.  Consolidated margins were 47.2%
   for the 1997 quarter compared with 47.0% for the 1996 quarter.  For the
   nine months ended September 27, 1997, North American margins were 46.8%,
   compared with 47.5% in the prior year period while European margins were
   46.2%, compared with 46.9% in the prior year period.

   For continuing operations, the increase in consolidated operating expenses
   as a percent of net sales to 46.2% for the third quarter of 1997 from
   44.0% for the 1996 quarter was due to the decline in net sales, as actual
   operating expenses declined 11%.  Similarly, operating expenses as a
   percent of net sales increased to 42.4% for the nine months ended
   September 27, 1997 from 41.1% for the 1996 period while actual operating
   expenses declined 5%.

   Interest expense allocable to continuing operations declined 90% for the
   nine months ended September 27, 1997 versus the comparable period in 1996,
   due primarily to the application of proceeds from the sale of the Great
   Bend Industries Division to reduce debt.

   Financial Condition

   The Company plans to use the cash generated from the divestitures of its
   Great Bend Industries and Winona Van Norman Divisions to expand into
   markets which are counter-cyclical to the automotive industry, thus
   providing the Company with the ability to maintain long-term stability and
   growth over the course of future business cycles and fluctuating economic
   conditions.

   The Company expects that its liquidity requirements will be met by cash
   generated from operations, although it does have credit facilities in
   place should the need arise.  Short-term credit facilities in Europe are
   considered sufficient to supplement cash from operating activities to
   satisfy liquidity requirements there.  Changes in short-term borrowing are
   primarily due to seasonal cash usage patterns.

   For the nine months ended September 27, 1997, the Company experienced a
   net increase in cash of $7.8 million, compared with a net decrease in cash
   for the 1996 nine month period of $400,000.  The 1997 increase was
   primarily due to cash provided by financing activities which, as a result
   of the sale of the discontinued businesses and the subsequent repayment of
   debt, generated $11.4 million of cash.  Financing activities for the 1996
   period reflected a $1.3 million use of cash due to repayment of debt. 
   Investing activities showed uses of cash due to capital expenditures of
   $0.7 million for the 1997 nine month period and of $0.6 million for the
   1996 nine month period.  The 1996 nine month period also showed a $0.7
   million use of cash due to a major trademark purchase.  Operating
   activities for the nine months of 1997 showed a $1.7 million use of cash
   while they generated $2.7 million for the 1996 period.

   ---------------------------------
   Common shares have been adjusted to give effect to the 5% stock dividend
   paid January 24, 1997.

   The $3,375,000 8% Convertible Subordinated Notes at September 28, 1996 are
   convertible to common shares at a price of $5.98 per share after giving
   effect to the stock dividend paid January 24, 1997.  The Notes were repaid
   on May 29, 1997 and options were issued concurrently to the holder of the
   Notes.

   Earnings per common share and common equivalent share were computed by
   dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of common
   stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.

   Earnings per common share, assuming full dilution, is determined by
   assuming that at the beginning of the period convertible notes were
   converted at the price per share in effect at that time and common share
   options were exercised.  As to the options, incremental shares would be
   calculated using the treasury stock method, assuming common share
   purchases at the greater of the average market price of the common shares
   for the period or the ending price of the common shares.
