Item 2.   Management's  Discussion and  Analysis of  Results  of Operations  and
          Financial Condition.


Results of Operations

     Revenues for the third quarter ended  February 28, 1995 were $14.5  million
compared with $13.1  million for last year's third quarter.   Revenues increased
slightly to $42.6 million for the nine months ended February 28, 1995 from $41.6
million for  the same last  year period.   The Company  was able to  generate an
operating profit  of $74,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to
an operating loss of $584,000 in  the third quarter of the prior year.   For the
first  nine months of fiscal 1995, the  Company's operating income was $353,000,
compared  to last year's nine month operating  loss of $1,205,000.  The net loss
for the three months ended February 28, 1995 was $241,000 or $.04 a share versus
net loss of $852,000 or $.15 a share  for the same three month period last year.
For the nine months ended February 28, 1995, the net loss was $596,000 or $.10 a
share  as compared  to net loss  of $2.1  million or $.36  a share  for the same
period last year.


     The  improvement in operating  results is due  primarily to the  effects of
cost  reduction and production improvement  programs instituted at the beginning
of the current  fiscal year.  Through  this effort the Company has  been able to
achieve  improved  operating  performance even  though  the  commercial fastener
market remains depressed due to severe cutbacks  in production of new aircraft. 
These  reduced production  levels  have  caused  overcapacity  in  the  aircraft
fastener market resulting in severe pressure on fastener pricing.  The Company's
operating  difficulties are  the  result  of lower  unit  pricing combined  with
increased  production  costs  associated  with  inefficient  production  levels.
Although  the  Company is  continuing  in  its program  of  cost  reductions and
production improvements,  management expects that  respectable operating  levels
will  be difficult to  achieve during this  downturn in the  commercial aircraft
industry.

     Interest expense increased in the current quarter and nine month period due
to an increase in interest rates.

     The Company did  not record a provision or benefit for federal income taxes
in the third quarter or nine months of fiscal 1995 due to the Company's tax loss
carryforward position,  in accordance with  the rules of Statement  on Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting For Income Taxes."

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company currently  maintains a secured three year  revolving credit and
term  loan  facility primarily  to  provide  working  capital for  the  domestic
Aerospace Fastening Systems  operation.  At  February 28, 1995  the Company  had
$12,676,000 outstanding under this facility at 11%.  A U.K. subsidiary maintains
a separate $2.3 million working capital  loan facility which had an  outstanding
balance of $256,000 currently being utilized.

     Working  capital  at   February  28,  1995  was   $24,063,000  compared  to
$23,646,000  at May  31,  1994.   The increase  is  due to  increased levels  of
accounts receivable and inventories.

     The Company  believes that cash  flow from operations and  available credit
facilities will  provide sufficient liquidity  to meet working  capital, capital
expenditures and  other ongoing  business requirements.   Capital  expenditures,
consisting  primarily  of  plant  modifications  and  the  normal  upgrading and
replacement of existing machinery and  equipment is expected to be approximately
$2.2 million in fiscal 1995.
