             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


(1)  Basis of Presentation -

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  The balance sheet at September 30, 1993 has
been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.  In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating
results for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended September 30,
1994.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report to shareholders
for the year ended September 30, 1993.  The Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," during
the quarter ended December 31, 1993.  Adoption of this standard did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Prior periods have not been restated to reflect this standard.

(2)  Inventories -

      Inventories, stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out or average)
or market, are comprised of the following:

(3)  Net Income Per Share -

      Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock, and where dilutive, common stock equivalents outstanding
during each period.  Shares used in computing per share results were 37,928,000
and 37,902,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
<PAGE>
(4)  Discontinued Operations -

      The sale of the Company's 25% interest in Oneita Industries, Inc. was
completed in October 1993 for approximately $11,500,000.  As a result, the
operating results for the three months ended December 31, 1992 have been
reclassified to reflect Oneita as a discontinued operation.
<PAGE>
          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

      Net sales were $116.2 million in the three-month period ended December 31,
1993, an increase of $12.6 million or 12.1% over last year.  Net sales of the
building products business were $61.1 million, an increase of $10.8 million or
21.4% over last year.  The increase was principally due to increased unit sales
of garage doors.  Net sales of the specialty plastic films business were $26.9
million, approximately the same as last year.  Net sales of the electronic
information and communication systems business were $19.2 million, up $1.5
million or 8.8% over last year.  The higher sales were principally due to new
program awards.

      Income from operations for the three-month period ended December 31, 1993
was $11.5 million, an increase of $2.0 million or 21.3% over last year.
Operating income of the building products business increased $1.8 million over
last year primarily due to the increased sales.  Operating income of the
specialty plastic films business increased by $.7 million compared to last year
primarily due to production efficiencies and lower raw material costs.
Operating income of the electronic information and communication systems
business decreased by $.5 million principally due to a higher proportion of
development contracts compared to the prior year and slightly increased G&A
expenses.

      Interest expense of $.5 million was approximately the same as in the prior
year.  Interest income of $.5 million was $.3 million higher than last year
principally due to the investment of the proceeds from the October 1993 sale of
the 25% ownership interest in Oneita Industries, Inc.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Cash flow generated from operations was $8.5 million after income tax
payments of $4.1 million.  Cash and marketable securities increased by $14.2
million to $51.7 million.  Working capital was $115.9 million, approximately the
same as at September 30, 1993.

      Cash flows from investing activities were principally due to $11.6 million
of proceeds received from the sale of the Company's ownership interest in Oneita
Industries, Inc.

      Cash flows used by financing activities included debt reduction of $3.2
million and expenditures of approximately $3.3 million for the purchase of
387,400 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Company's previously
announced stock buyback program.  In January 1994, approximately $1.5 million
was expended to acquire additional treasury shares.

      Anticipated cash flows from operations, together with existing cash and
lease line availability, should be adequate to finance presently anticipated
short and long-term liquidity needs.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1      Legal Proceedings

            Instrument Systems Corporation -- Sinclair Refinery Superfund Site
            -- Wellsville, New York.  As previously reported, the Atlantic
            Richfield Company ("ARCO") initially notified the Company in 1991
            that based upon ARCO's investigation of the groundwater at the
            Sinclair Refinery Superfund Site in Wellsville, New York, a portion
            of which ("Operable Unit II") allegedly is owned currently by an
            indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, ISC Development
            Corp., the shallow acquifer underlying the Site was found to be
            contaminated with various hazardous substances.  It is ARCO's
            contention that manufacturing operations conducted at ISC
            Development Corp.'s premises (which were leased to a third party)
            may have contributed to this contamination and that as an owner
            and/or operator, the Company would be jointly and severally liable
            as a responsible party for the costs of remediation under Section
            107 of CERCLA.

            On or about October 26, 1992, a demand notice was served on the
            Company requesting essentially that the Company contribute equitably
            to the response costs being incurred by ARCO.

            On or about January 26, 1994, ARCO served the Company with a summons
            and complaint in an action pending in the United States District
            Court for the Western District of New York.  The Company has been
            named as one of several defendants whom the plaintiff claims should
            be held jointly and severally liable for the costs incurred and to
            be incurred by ARCO in the remediation and clean up of portions of
            the Sinclair Refinery Superfund Site.
