                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                ------------------------------------------------

REVENUES

Consolidated revenues for the third quarter and nine months of 1995 increased
14.9% and 26.4%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1994. Sales
for the Heat Transfer Group increased 23.2% and 15.8% in the third quarter and
nine months of 1995 and 7.9% and 10.3% for the Electronic Components Group.
Sales of the Motion Technologies Group, which includes Harowe Servo Controls
Inc. ("HSC") in 1995 and for three months in 1994, increased 16.2% and 45.1%,
respectively, as compared to the third quarter and nine months of the prior
year.

Bookings of customer orders in the third quarter and nine months of 1995 were
$24.6 million and $71.0 million, respectively, up 44.9% and 43.5% over bookings
in the same periods last year. The Company's consolidated backlog of firm
orders at September 29, 1995 was $32.2 million, up 42.2% from $22.6 million on
September 30, 1994.

Investment income declined 27.5% and 33.9% in the third quarter and nine months
of 1995, respectively, reflecting the decline in average investment assets
primarily as a result of the sale of various bonds to fund both the purchase of
HSC and current operations.


COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD

The gross profit percentage increased in the third quarter of 1995 by 1.5%,
while the nine months remained relatively constant. The increase in the third
quarter reflects lower manufacturing costs within the Electronic Components and
Motion Technologies Groups, offset by slightly higher costs within the Heat
Transfer Group.


SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling and administrative expenses, expressed as a percentage of net sales,
remained relatively consistent for the third quarter as compared to the same
period in 1994, while the nine months declined 1.3% reflecting management's
efforts to hold the growth of overhead costs below the growth in sales.


RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Research and product development increased in the third quarter and nine months
of 1995 by 4.3% and 30.7%, respectively, reflecting management's continued
commitment to the design of new products and improvement of existing products.


NET EARNINGS

Net earnings increased 28.5% in the third quarter of 1995 and 37.0% for the
nine months as compared to similar periods in 1994 and reflects the increased
level of net sales combined with lower operating costs, when expressed as a
percentage of revenues.


                                                                             8

FINANCIAL POSITION

The Company's liquidity is primarily generated from operations. In addition,
the Company has utilized its $10 million short-term line of credit from time to
time in amounts not exceeding $2,000,000 at any time during the nine months
ended September 29, 1995. Comparative information on the Company's liquidity
position follows ($000 omitted):

Over the past twelve months, the Company's portfolio of investments in
municipal bonds has declined as the proceeds realized from payment at maturity
or from sales of such investments have been applied to the  final payment for
the acquisition of HSC and to the financing of the Company's receivables,
inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and research and product
development. The use of these funds has been consistent with the Company's
announced growth strategy. Continued success of that strategy will further
reduce the Company's investment portfolio and, in time, may require the Company
to seek long-term debt financing from banks or other lenders and/or additional
equity financing. As the Company's financing requirements become more clearly
defined, the Company will begin evaluating financing alternatives and will
re-assess its present dividend policy in order to determine whether either some
or all of the Company's cash currently used to pay dividends could be better
utilized towards the improvement of shareholder value when applied to fund the
Company's growth strategy.
