  3. On January 2, 1996, the Company acquired the assets of the Anderson
     Electrical Connectors business ("Anderson"). Anderson manufactures
     electrical connectors and associated hardware and tools for the electric
     utility industry with manufacturing facilities in Alabama and Tennessee. On
     January 31, 1996, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Gleason
     Reel Corp. ("Gleason") based in Mayville, Wisconsin. Gleason manufactures
     electric cable management products (including cable and hose reels,
     protective steel and nylon cable tracks and cable festooning hardware) and
     a line of ergonomic tool support systems.

     The businesses were acquired for cash of $31,365,000 and notes of
     $18,635,000 that mature in one year and were recorded under the purchase
     method of accounting. The costs of the acquired businesses has been
     allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair values
     with the residual amount assigned to goodwill, which is being amortized
     over forty years. The businesses have been included in the financial
     statements as of their respective acquisition date and had no material
     effect on the Company's financial position and reported earnings.

  4. All share data has been adjusted on a proforma basis to reflect the 2-for-1
     stock split payable on August 9, 1996, to shareholders of record on July
     17, 1996.

  5. In the opinion of management, the information furnished in Part I-Financial
     Information on Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments (which include only
     normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
     statements for the periods indicated.

  6. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
     and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
     the full year.

  ITEM 2                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  JUNE 30, 1996

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

         At June 30, 1996, the Company's financial position remained strong with
  working capital of $316.4 million and a current ratio of 2.3 to 1. Total
  borrowings at June 30, 1996, were $118.1 million, 16.8% of shareholders
  equity.

         Cash and temporary cash investments increased $15.1 million for the six
  months ended June 30, 1996, as a result of cash provided from operating
  activities offset by the purchase of Anderson and Gleason, redemption of
  industrial development bonds and quarterly dividend payments.

         Net cash provided by operating activities reflects higher net income,
  continued emphasis on working capital management and funding of working
  capital for the recent acquisitions. Accounts receivable increased in line
  with higher sales. The increase in liabilities is principally due to the
  higher level of business activity, increased income taxes and accrual of
  interest for the ten year notes.

         The Company believes that currently available cash, borrowing
  facilities, and its ability to increase its credit lines if needed, combined
  with internally generated funds should be more than sufficient to fund capital
  expenditures as well as any increase in working capital that would be required
  to accommodate a higher level of business activity.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Consolidated net sales increased more than 11% for the second quarter
  and 10% year-to-date on strong growth reported by Pulse Communications,
  Industrial Controls, Ohio Brass, and Premise Wiring combined with the
  acquisition of Anderson and Gleason in early 1996. Operating income increased
  23% for the quarter and 19% for the first six months on higher sales volume,
  improved operating efficiencies from the Company's restructuring program and
  the impact of the acquired businesses.

         Low voltage segment sales increased more than 6% for the respective
  periods on higher shipment of industrial controls, wiring device products and
  inclusion of Gleason. Most units showed modest increases as construction
  related markets improved from the impact of the severe winter weather in the
  first quarter. Operating income increased by 17% and 14%, respectively, on
  higher sales, improved operating efficiencies and inclusion of Gleason since
  its acquisition.

         High voltage segment sales increased more than 21% for the quarter and
  first six months on continued growth for surge arresters and insulators
  combined with the sales of Anderson products. Segment operating income
  increased in line with sales.

         Other industry segment sales increased 10% for the respective periods
  as almost all units reported higher sales with particularly strong increases
  for telecommunications and wire management products. Operating profits
  increased more than 20% for the respective periods on the improved volume of
  higher margin telecommunications products and improved operating efficiencies.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  JUNE 30, 1996
                                   (CONTINUED)

         Sales through the Company's International units were 6% higher in the
  quarter and 2% higher than last year while operating profits increased more
  than 15% reflecting the improved profitability of the restructured Canadian
  and European operations.

         The effective income tax rate for 1996 is 29% versus 27% in 1995. The
  increase in the effective tax rate reflects a higher portion of domestic
  source income at resulting higher tax rates and the impact of our recently
  completed acquisitions. Net income and earnings per share increased by 19%
  and 18%, respectively, for the quarter while for the first six months the
  increases were 15% and 14%, respectively.

         The Company's restructuring program is proceeding according to
  management's plan. At June 30, 1996, the restructuring accrual balance was
  $13,442,000 of which $10,000,000 is classified as current liability. Through
  June 30, 1996, cumulative costs charged to the restructuring accrual were
  $36,558,000 as follows (in thousands):
