3.     On April 19, 1994, the Company acquired A.B. Chance Industries, Inc.,
       a manufacturer of electrical apparatus, anchors, hardware, insulators,
       hot-line tools and other safety equipment.  The acquisition was for
       $110 million in cash and was recorded under the purchase method of
       accounting.  Accordingly, the results of operations for the acquired
       business has been included in the consolidated statement of income
       only from its acquisition date. Had the business been acquired on the
       first day of 1994 unaudited proforma net sales and net income for the
       period ending March 31, 1994 would have been $248,694,000 and
       $25,398,000 respectively.  The proforma results are not necessarily
       indicative of the results that would have been obtained had the
       acquisition occurred on January 1, 1994, nor are they necessarily
       indicative of the results that may occur in the future.

ITEM 2
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                 MARCH 31, 1995

                           A)   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated net sales increased by 34% due to the inclusion of A.B. Chance,
Inc., which was acquired in April 1994; and generally higher sales levels
throughout the Company's operating units with particularly strong growth
reported by Bryant Electric, Premise Wiring, Raco and Lighting; combined with
improved market conditions for the Pulsecom subsidiary.  Operating income
increased 26% on the higher sales volume.  The rate of increase was moderated
by inclusion of the A.B. Chance products which have a lower operating margin
than the average for the Company's other businesses and the strong increases
in lower margined electrical fittings and fluorescent lighting products.

Low voltage segment sales increased 14% on higher shipments of fluorescent
lighting, industrial controls and wiring devices reflecting the improved
economic conditions in the United States and Canada.  Operating income
increased 10% on higher sales which included a higher mix of lower margined
products.

High voltage segment sales increased by more than 50% due to the inclusion
of A.B. Chance which was acquired in 1994 and improved sales of power cable,
test and measurement equipment, surge arresters and insulators.  Profits
increased on higher volume but at a lower rate than sales reflecting the
lower-margined products of the acquired business.

Other industry segment sales increased more than 50% on higher shipments of
fittings, switch and outlet boxes and wire management products combined with
improved market conditions for telecommunication products.  Operating income
increased in line with sales growth.

Interest expense increased reflecting a higher level of short-term borrowing
and higher interest rates.  The effective tax rate for 1995 was 27% compared
to 26% in the first quarter of 1994.  Net income and earnings per share
increased 16%, respectively, over last year.

The Company's restructuring program is proceeding according to management's
plan.  During the quarter, production start-up was initiated in the new
manufacturing facility for the Kerite Company; the first phase of capacity
expansion in Puerto Rico was completed and consolidation of warehousing and
distribution operations is continuing.  At March 31, 1995 the restructuring
accrual balance was $25,024,000 of which $14,000,000 is classified as a
current liability.  Through March 31, 1995, cumulative costs charged to the
restructuring accrual were $24,976,000 as follows (in thousands):
