2. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial
statements included herein contain all adjustments, consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments, (except for items discussed in
Notes 8 through 12), necessary to present fairly the Company s
financial condition at June 30, 1998, the results of operations for
the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
and the cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and

4. Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 130 ( SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." SFAS 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the
adoption of SFAS 130 had no impact on the Company s net income or
shareholders equity. The Company s comprehensive earnings were as

5. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131 ("SFAS 131"),
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information", which must be adopted for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. Under the new standard, companies will be
required to report certain information about operating segments in
consolidated financial statements. Operating segments will be
determined based on the method by which management organizes its
business for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
SFAS 131 also requires that companies report certain information
about their products and services, the geographic areas in which they
operate, and their major customers. The Company is currently
evaluating the effect, if any, of implementing SFAS 131.
6. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133 ("SFAS 133"),
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives), and for hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires
companies to recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities with instruments measured at fair value. The accounting
for changes in fair value and gains or losses depends on the intended
use of the derivative and its resulting designation. SFAS 133 is
effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. The Company will adopt SFAS 133 by January 1, 2000
and is currently evaluating the effect, if any, of implementing
SFAS 133.
7. Basic EPS excludes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalent
securities and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or
other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
then shared in the earning of the entity. A reconciliation between
basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

During the second quarter of 1998, options to purchase 1,500 shares
of common stock with an exercise price of $20.94 per share and with
an expiration date of May 12, 2008, were outstanding, but were not
included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options
exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the
common shares. During the second quarter of 1997, options to
purchase 5,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of
$14.06 per share and with an expiration date of November 13, 1999,
were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted
EPS because the options exercise prices were greater than the
average market price of the common shares. Also, during the second
quarter of 1998 and 1997, 905,095 and 956,041, respectively, common
equivalent shares of the convertible subordinated debentures were not
included in the diluted EPS calculation as a result of their
antidilutive effect.
During the first six months of 1998, options to purchase 3,000 shares
of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $19.63 to $20.94
per share and with expiration dates ranging up to May 12, 2008, were
outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS
because the options exercise prices were greater than the average
market price of the common shares. During the first six months of
1997, options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock with an
exercise price of $14.06 per share and with an expiration date of
November 13, 1999, were outstanding but were not included in the
computation of diluted EPS because the options exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of the common shares. Also,
during the first six months of 1998 and 1997, 905,095 and 956,041,
respectively, common equivalent shares of the convertible
subordinated debentures were not included in the diluted EPS
calculation as a result of their antidilutive effect.
8. In January 1998, the Company announced a license agreement for its
electronic motion control patents in the amount of $27.2 million,
which, after legal and other expenses, resulted in income of $21.2
million. In connection with its patent enforcement program, the
Company has engaged outside legal counsel to continue enforcement of
the Company s estate and accordingly, has recorded a charge in Other
expense of $6.8 million to cover legal expenses and other related
costs.
9. During the first quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a charge of
$2.7 million reflecting the impairment of assets. Of this amount,
$2.0 million related to the write-down of goodwill from its 1994
acquisition of the assets of Sperry Marine. Additionally, the
Company increased its reserve for impaired real estate by $0.7
million to reflect its current assessment of the fair value of real
estate held for sale.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>12
10. In the first quarter of 1998, the Company incurred $1.3 million of
expenses in conjunction with the tender offer for Pacific Scientific
Company.
11. Effective January 1, 1998, the Company elected to change the vesting
method for post-retirement medical insurance benefits, resulting in a
curtailment charge in Other expense of $1.6 million.
12. The Company periodically reviews the assumptions and estimates used
in the calculation of its pension obligation, and in the second
quarter recorded income of $750 thousand as a result of the updating
of these assumptions and estimates to be consistent with the
Company s experience.
13. On July 1, 1998, the Company announced the acquisition of Magnedyne
from Sierracin Corporation. Magnedyne is excluded from the
accompanying unaudited financial statements because the transaction
occurred after June 30, 1998. The Company will account for this
acquisition as a purchase. Magnedyne designs and builds brushless
and brush-type DC torque motors and drives. The acquisition is
expected to further strengthen the Company s motion control product
offerings for key applications in semiconductor manufacturing,
medical equipment, and aerospace and defense. Magnedyne has
approximately 100 employees at its manufacturing facility in Vista,
Calif., and recorded sales of approximately $16 million in 1997. A
portion of the purchase price of Magnedyne is expected to be
allocated to in-process research and development, and accordingly the
Company will record a charge in the third quarter of 1998 which is
expected to be in the range of $3.0 million to $5.0 million.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
This filing contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company s actual results may differ significantly from
the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Please refer to
the "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" included in the
Registration Statement on Form S-4 dated January 15, 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In the first six months of 1998, the Company s results of operations
were impacted by a number of events that should be described separately.
During the first quarter, the Company announced the first major license
agreement for its pioneering electronic motion control patents in the
amount of $27.2 million, which, after legal and other expenses, resulted
in income of $21.2 million. In connection with its patent enforcement
program, the Company has engaged counsel to continue enforcement of the
Company's patent estate, and accordingly, has recorded a charge of $6.8
million to cover legal expenses and other related costs. The Company
<PAGE>
<PAGE>13
recorded a charge of $2.7 million, primarily relating to the write-down of
goodwill from its 1994 acquisition of the assets of Sperry Marine. Also in
the first quarter of 1998, the Company incurred $1.3 million of expenses
in conjunction with the tender offer for Pacific Scientific Company.
Finally, the Company elected to change the vesting method for post-
retirement medical insurance benefits, resulting in a charge of $1.6
million. The total of these items had a positive impact in 1998 of $8.8
million to the reported income before income taxes of the Company.
In the second quarter of 1997, the Company s results of operations
were impacted by a number of events that should also be described
separately. Effective December 31, 1996, the Company combined its Macbeth
division with the Color Control Systems business of Gretag AG and received
48% of the shares in the Swiss holding company that controls the two
businesses (the "Joint Venture"). Accordingly, for the period ended June
30, 1997, the Company accounted for its interest in the Joint Venture
using the equity method. On June 25, 1997, the Company sold approximately
88% of its interest in the Joint Venture as part of the Joint Venture s
initial public offering on the Swiss Stock Exchange, resulting in a gain
of $24.3 million. Additionally during the first half of 1997, in
connection with the acquisitions of Servotronix and Seidel, a portion of
the purchase price was allocated to in-process research and development
for products which were not yet feasible. The value of in-process
research and development of $10.5 million was expensed. Also included in
acquired research and development was a charge of approximately $0.9
million for technology acquired unrelated to the Servotronix and Seidel
acquisitions.
Collectively, the above 1998 and 1997 items will be referred to as
the "Special Items" to provide for comparative discussion of the Company s
results on a consistent basis.
For the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company had sales of
$60.3 million and net income of $2.3 million, equal to $0.21 per common
share (diluted). These results compare with sales for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 of $55.8 million and net income of $15.5 million equal
to $1.52 per common share (diluted). Excluding the impact of the Special
Items discussed above, the Company s net income for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 would have been $2.7 million equal to $0.26 per share. The
equity in earnings of the Joint Venture was included in the reported
results for the 1997 period, but excluding these earnings, net income
would have been $1.9 million or $0.19 per share. For the six months ended
June 30, 1998, the Company had sales of $117.1 million and net income of
$7.8 million, equal to $0.73 per common share (diluted). These results
compare with sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997 of $106.3
million and net income of $17.5 million equal to $1.71 per common share
(diluted). Excluding the impact of the Special Items discussed above, the
Company s net income for the six months ended June 30 would have been $4.2
million equal to $0.40 per share for 1998 and $4.7 million equal to $0.46
per share for 1997. The equity in earnings of the Joint Venture was
included in the reported results for the 1997 period, but excluding these
earnings, net income would have been $3.3 million or $0.32 per share.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>14
Operating income for the three months ending June 30, 1998 increased
to $3.9 million from a loss in the same period of the prior year of $7.4
million. Excluding the Special Items discussed above, operating income
would have been $3.9 million for the three months ending June 30, 1997.
Operating income for the six months ending June 30, 1998 increased to $3.1
million from a loss in the same period of the prior year of $4.6 million.
Excluding the Special Items discussed above, operating income would have
been $7.1 million and $6.8 million for the six months ending June 30, 1998
and 1997, respectively.
The Company's sales increased $4.6 million or 8.2% for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same period a year ago. The
Industrial and Commercial Group's revenue increased to $33.7 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $28.5 million or 18.2% as
compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase reflects
the acquisitions of Seidel and Servotronix in 1997 and increased sales by
the Company s High Volume business more than offsetting a decline at the
Company s engineering consulting business. Sales to the Aerospace and
Defense Group's markets of $26.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 remained consistent with prior year's period of $26.8
million. The Company's sales increased $10.8 million or 10.1% for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same period a year ago. The
Industrial and Commercial Group's revenue increased to $65.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $55.1 million or 18.1% as compared
to the first six months of 1997. The increase reflects the acquisitions
of Seidel and Servotronix in 1997 as well as increased sales by the
Company s high volume business more than offsetting a decline at the
Company s engineering consulting business. Sales to the Aerospace and
Defense markets increased 2.6% from $50.8 million for the first six months
of 1997 to $52.1 million in 1998 a result of increased sales of both
submarine optronic and motion control systems.
The Company s overall gross margin as a percent of sales of 31.4% for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased from 31.1% for the same
period in the prior year. The Aerospace and Defense Group had a decline in
gross margin as a percent of sales from 31.3% for the second quarter of
1997 to 31.2% reflecting the investment in developmental programs for
recently introduced products and a less favorable mix of products sold.
The Industrial and Commercial Group had a decline in gross margin as a
percent of sales to 28.7% for the second quarter of 1998 from 30.5% in
1997, reflecting improved margins in the motor and drive businesses being
offset by volume declines in the Company s engineering consulting
business. The Company s overall gross margin as a percent of sales of
30.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was basically unchanged from
30.7% for the same period in the prior year. The Aerospace and Defense
Group had an increase in gross margin as a percent of sales from 29.9% for
the first half of 1997 to 30.7% in 1998 due to sales of high margin motion
control components and systems. The Industrial and Commercial Group had a
decline in gross margin as a percent of sales to 29.4% for the first half
of 1998 from 31.2% in 1997, reflecting improved margins in the motor and
drive businesses being somewhat offset by decreased margins due to volume
declines in the Company s engineering consulting business.

Sales and marketing expenses were $6.1 million or 10.1% of sales in
the second quarter of 1998 as compared to $5.3 million or 9.5% of sales
for the same period in 1997. Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.7
million to 10.0% of sales in the first six months of 1998 as compared to
9.4% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in sales and
marketing expense reflects the Company s investment in a European sales
and marketing organization.
General and administrative expenses increased to $6.2 million or
10.3% of sales in the second quarter of 1998 from $5.8 million or 10.4% of
sales for the same period in 1997. For the six months ended June 30,
1998, general and administrative expenses declined by $0.2 million
compared to the prior year.
Research and development expenses were $2.7 million or 4.6% of sales
for the second quarter of 1998 as compared with $2.3 million or 4.1% of
sales for the same period in the prior year. Research and development
expenses were $5.9 million or 5.1% of sales for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared with $4.3 million or 4.0% of sales for the same
period in the prior year. Research and development spending by the
Industrial and Commercial Group increased to $3.4 million for the first
six months of 1998 from $2.0 million in 1997. This increase in spending
was a result of the Seidel and Servotronix acquisitions. Research and
development spending by the Aerospace and Defense Group increased for the
period ending June 30, 1998 to $2.6 million from $2.3 million in the same
period in the prior year.
Net interest expense was $1.0 million and $2.8 million for the six
month periods ending June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease
in interest expense in 1998 as compared to 1997 was due to the repayment
in the second quarter of 1997 of the balance of the $25 million term loan
the Company entered into to fund the redemption of its Preferred Stock in
1996, the reduction in long-term debt as a result of the Company's annual
mandatory sinking fund payments on its convertible subordinated
debentures, and higher invested cash balances.
The Company recorded a provision for taxes resulting in a tax rate of
47% for the first half of 1998 which is significantly higher than its
expected 31% tax rate for the year reflecting the impact of the patent
licensing income. The patent licensing income was subject to Japanese
withholding tax which the Company is not certain will be fully recoverable
in 1998. Additionally, this income is fully subject to U.S. taxes and is
taxed at a higher rate than the Company s effective tax rate. The
Company s effective tax rate is less than the statutory U.S. tax rate as
some of the Company s foreign subsidiaries operate in countries where the
statutory rate is less than the U.S. rate.
Bookings increased $28.0 million or 26.5% during the first half of
1998 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is
due not only to the acquisitions of Seidel and Servotronix, but also to
improved bookings in both the Aerospace and Defense Group and the
Industrial and Commercial Group excluding these acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's consolidated cash position increased by $5.8 million
during the first six months of 1998. Cash provided by operations was
$11.0 million, $3.7 million was used for investing activities, and $1.3
million was used for financing activities.
Accounts receivable used $2.5 million reflecting higher sales and
weaker than anticipated collections. Inventories used $2.7 million of
cash reflecting higher sales and an increase in inventory by the Company s
High Volume group. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities provided $5.4
million as a result of taxes accrued in the first quarter which are unpaid
at June 30, 1997.
The Company's investing activities in the first quarter of 1998
included capital expenditures of $3.8 million primarily for replacement of
existing equipment to improve the efficiency of manufacturing.
The Company's financing activities used $1.3 million of cash during
the year principally to make a mandatory sinking fund payment of $1.8
million during the second quarter. The Company is required, under the
terms of the 8.75% convertible subordinated debenture, to make certain
mandatory sinking fund payments each year through the year 2009. Common
dividends paid were $0.4 million or $0.04 per common share for the six
months ended June 30, 1998.
The Company believes that it can generate sufficient cash from
operations and its current borrowing line of credit to finance its cash
requirements for capital expenditures, sinking fund payments, potential
acquisitions, and working capital needs for the next twelve months.

Certificate of Incorporation, by these By-Laws or by law. At all meetings
of the Board of Directors each director shall have one vote.
The Board of Directors may adopt such rules and regulations for
the conduct of its meetings, meetings of committees, if any, and the

than fifteen (15) directors, as the Board may from time to time determine.

Incorporation or by law, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the
votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election.

-5-<PAGE>

Directors.

other than by announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken.

own rules of procedures, subject to such rules as may be made by the Board
of Directors, shall keep regular minutes of the transactions at their
meetings, and shall report the same to the Board of Directors at its next
meeting.
Section 11. Compensation. In consideration for his services

from time to time, appoint any former director of the Corporation who

Section 1. Certificates of Stock. Certificates for shares
of stock of the Corporation shall be in the form adopted by the Board of
Directors, and shall be issued within each class and series, if any, in
numerical order. Each shareholder shall be entitled to a certificate,
signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President or a

Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, showing the number, class and series,
if any, of shares owned by him, the date of their issue and the par value

thereof, and bearing the corporate seal impressed or reproduced thereon.
Where such certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or registered
by a registrar other than the Corporation itself or its employee, the
signature of any of the above-named officers an such certificate may be
facsimile.
In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature
has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer
before such certificate is issued, such certificate may nevertheless be
issued and delivered by the Corporation, with the same effect as if he
were such officer at the date of its issue.

appoint one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars for any and
all classes of stock and may require all stock certificates to bear the

Corporation by the holder thereof or by his attorney thereunto duly
authorized, and on the surrender of the certificate or certificates
representing such shares properly endorsed. Such transfer books shall be
kept at the main business office of the Corporation or at the office of
any transfer agent. Each certificate so surrendered shall be marked
"Canceled," and the date of cancellation shall be duly noted thereon.
Section 3. Lost or Destroyed Certificates. The Corporation
may issue a new certificate for shares in place of any certificate
theretofore issued and alleged to have been lost or destroyed, upon such

certificate, that a bond, in such form and amount as it shall deem
sufficient, be given to the Corporation and/or to the transfer agent and
registrar of the stock represented by such certificate.
Section 4. Closing of Transfer Books or Taking Records of
the Shareholders. The Board of Directors may prescribe a date not
exceeding fifty (50) days prior to the date of any meeting of
shareholders, or prior to the date on which the consent or dissent of
shareholders may be expressed for any purpose without a meeting, or prior
to the date of the payment of any dividend or the allotment of any right,
after which no transfer of stock on the books of the Corporation may be
made.
In lieu of prohibiting the transfer of stock, the Board may fix,
in advance, a date prior to the date of any meeting of shareholders, or
prior to the date on which the consent or dissent of shareholders may be
expressed for any purpose without a meeting, or prior to the date of the
payment of any dividend or the allotment of any right, as the date as of
which shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such a meeting, or
whose consent or dissent is required or may be expressed, or who may be
entitled to such dividend or right, as the case may be, shall be
determined. Such date shall not be more than fifty (50) days nor less
than ten (10) days prior to the date of such meeting, nor more than fifty
(50) days prior to any other action.
-11-<PAGE>
Section 5. Registered Shareholders. Except as may be
otherwise provided by law, the Corporation shall be entitled to recognize
the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of

other person.

ARTICLE VI
Indemnification and Insurance
Section l. Indemnification. Except to the extent expressly
prohibited by the New York Business Corporation Law, the Corporation shall
indemnify each person made or threatened to be made a party to any action
or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, by reason of the fact that such
person or such person's testator or intestate is or was a director or
officer of the Corporation, or serves or served at the request of the
Corporation any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity, against
judgments, fines (including excise taxes assessed on a person with respect
to an employee benefit plan), penalties, amounts paid in settlement and
reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily
incurred in connection with such action or proceeding, or any appeal
therein, provided that no such indemnification shall be made if a judgment
or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that his
conduct did not meet the then applicable statutory standards, and provided
further that no such indemnification shall be required with respect to any
settlement or other non-adjudicated disposition of any threatened or
pending action or proceeding unless the Corporation has given its prior
consent to such settlement or other disposition, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld.
The Corporation shall advance or promptly reimburse upon request
any person entitled to indemnification hereunder for all expenses,
-12-<PAGE>
including attorneys' fees, reasonably incurred in defending any action or
proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if such
person is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification or, where
indemnification is granted, to the extent the expenses so advanced or
reimbursed exceed the amount to which such person is entitled, provided,
however, that such person shall cooperate in good faith with any request
by the Corporation that common counsel be utilized by the parties to an
action or proceeding who are similarly situated unless to do so would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between or
among such parties.
The right to indemnification and advancement of expenses under
this By-Law is intended to be retroactive and shall be available with
respect to any action or proceeding which relates to events prior to the
effective date of this By-Law.
The Corporation is authorized to enter into agreements with any
of its directors or officers extending rights to indemnification and
advancement of expenses to such person to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, but the failure to enter into any such agreement shall not
affect or limit the rights of such person pursuant to this By-Law, it
being expressly recognized hereby that all directors and officers of the
Corporation, by serving as such after the adoption hereof, are acting in
reliance hereon and that the Corporation is estopped to contend otherwise.
In case of any provision in this By-Law shall be determined at
any time to be unenforceable in any respect, the other provisions shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the affected provision
shall be given the fullest possible enforcement in the circumstances, it
being the intention of the Corporation to afford indemnification and
advancement of expenses to its directors and officers, acting in such
capacities or in the other capacities mentioned herein, to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
No amendment or repeal of this By-Law shall apply to or have any
effect on the indemnification of, or advancement of expenses to, any
director and officer of the Corporation for or with respect to acts or
omissions of such director or officer occurring prior to such amendment or
appeal.
The foregoing shall not be exclusive of any other rights to
which any director or officer may be entitled as a matter of law and shall
not affect any rights to indemnification to which corporate personnel
other than directors or officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise.
Section 2. Insurance. To the extent permitted by law, the
Corporation shall purchase and maintain insurance:
-13-<PAGE>
To indemnify the Corporation for any obligation which it incurs
as a result of the indemnification of directors and officers;
To indemnify directors and officers in instances in which they
may be indemnified by the Corporation; and
To indemnify director and officers in instances in which they
may not otherwise be indemnified by the Corporation, provided that the
contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a
manner acceptable to the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New
York, for a retention amount and for co-insurance.
