                                  (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 and six-month periods ended March 31, 1994 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 37,481,000
and 38,030,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 and 37,704,000
and 37,966,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, 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 and six months ended March 31, 1993 have
been reclassified to reflect Oneita as a discontinued operation.
<PAGE>
          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Recent Developments

      In May 1994, a major customer of the specialty plastic films segment
informed the Company of its intention to make a design change which, over the
next six months, will substantially reduce and could eliminate the segment's
thin laminate program.  This change is based upon the lower cost of an
alternative material.

      During fiscal 1993, sales of the thin laminate were approximately $28
million.  The loss of the thin laminate program will adversely impact earnings
in the latter part of fiscal 1994 and thereafter, subject to the ability of the
Company to replace the business, expand other areas of the specialty plastic
films business and reduce operating costs.

      The Company has recently been approved as a supplier of other moisture
barrier films to this customer and expects to sell approximately $10 - $15
million per year of such films.  The Company has a number of ongoing development
projects with this and other customers and will direct its efforts to find
alternative business for the utilization of the plastic films segment's
production capacity.


Results of Operations

      Net sales were $105.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31,
1994, an increase of $11.1 million or 11.7% over last year's comparable quarter.
Net sales of the building products business were $42.7 million, an increase of
$6.5 million or 17.8% over last year.  The increase was primarily due to
increased unit sales of garage doors.  Net sales of the specialty plastic films
business were $29.7 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 5.6% over last year,
principally resulting from an increase in unit sales.  Net sales of the
electronic information and communication systems business were $23.8 million, an
increase of $2.5 million or 11.8% over last year.  The higher sales were
principally due to new contract awards.

     Income from operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1994 was
$8.4 million, an increase of $1.1 million or 14.5% over last year's comparable
quarter.  Operating income of the building products business decreased by $.4
million compared to last year.  The effect of higher sales was offset by
increased production and distribution costs resulting from severe weather
conditions experienced in January and February 1994, and start-up expenses for a
new garage door product line.  Operating income for the specialty plastic films
business increased $1.0 million compared to last year due to production
efficiencies and lower raw material costs.  Operating income of the electronic
information and communication systems business increased $.6 million principally
due to the higher sales, offset in part by increased bid and proposal
expenditures ($.6 million).
<PAGE>
     Net sales were $222.0 million in the six-month period ended March 31, 1994,
an increase of $23.7 million or 11.9% over last year's comparable period.  Net
sales of the building products business were $103.8 million, an increase of
$17.2 million or 19.9% over last year, principally attributable to increased
unit sales.  Net sales of the specialty plastic films business were $56.6
million, an increase of $1.2 million or 2.2% over last year, due primarily to an
increase in unit sales.  Net sales of the electronic information and
communication systems business were $43.0 million, an increase of $4.1 million
or 10.4% over last year, for the reasons discussed above.

      Income from operations for the six-month period ended March 31, 1994 was
$19.8 million, an increase of $3.1 million or 18.3% over last year's comparable
period.  Operating income of the building products business increased $1.4
million over last year's comparable period primarily due to the increased sales
offset by start-up expenses relating to a new garage door product line.
Operating income of the specialty plastic films business and the electronic
information and communication systems business increased $1.7 million and $.1
million, respectively, for the reasons discussed above.

     Net interest expense decreased by $.3 million and $.5 million for the three
and six-month periods ended March 31, 1994, respectively, due to higher
investable balances and reductions of long-term debt.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Cash flow generated from operations was $7.5 million after income tax
payments of $13.4 million.  Cash and marketable securities increased by $7.3
million to $44.9 million.  Working capital was $118.0 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. and the investment of those proceeds, as well as capital
expenditures of $2.3 million and acquisitions of $1.6 million by the building
products business.

      Cash flows used by financing activities included debt reduction of $3.8
million.  Also, in April 1994, the Company authorized the purchase of up to
3,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, an increase of 1,000,000 shares over its
previously announced plan.  During the six-month period ended March 31, 1994,
approximately 700,000 shares of Common Stock were purchased for $6.0 million in
connection with the stock buyback program.

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