ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
         OPERATION

Continuing gains in both the composite and aluminum honeycomb business segments
have enabled the Company to report a 105% increase in second quarter
consolidated net income over that of the same quarter last year. Consolidated
net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 rose to $413 thousand or $.03 a
share, up from $201 thousand or $.02 per share over the same period last year.
Consolidated net income for the first six months of 1997 was $648 thousand, or
$.05 per share, an increase of 120%, compared to $295 thousand or $.03 per share
during the first six months of 1996.

Consolidated sales during the second quarter of 1997 were $5.7 million compared

to $4.6 million in the second quarter of 1996, an increase of 23%. Consolidated
sales for the first six months of 1997 were $10.7 million compared to $8.9
million in 1996, an increase of 21%. Quarterly and six months sales increases
were reflected across all business segments of the Company, due primarily to
increased demand for commercial and military aircraft and aerospace materials
and assemblies.

Sales for the aluminum honeycomb segment for the second quarter and first six
months of 1997 increased to $3.8 and $7.1 million, respectively, compared to
$3.1 and $6.1 million, respectively during similar periods in 1996. Increased
honeycomb sales resulted from a number of factors, including startup and full
production rate on engine nacelle honeycomb assemblies for the C-17 program and
honeycomb control surfaces for the 767 and 757 Boeing programs. General overall
aircraft build rate increases further added to the increased sales volume.

Sales for the composite segment for the second quarter and first six months of
1997 increased to $1.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively, compared to $1.5
and $2.8 million for 1996. Improved composite sales resulted primarily from
increased shipments of bonded assemblies for military and commercial aircraft,
space and other aerospace applications.

The backlog of customer orders as of June 30, 1997 increased to $30.4 million,
an increase of $18.8 million or 162% compared to a backlog of $11.6 million at
the end of the second quarter 1996.

Consolidated operating income for the second quarter 1997 was $542 thousand
compared to $308 thousand in the second quarter of 1996, an increase of 76%.
Consolidated operating income for the first six months of 1997 was $858 thousand
compared to $518 thousand in 1996, an increase of 66%. Operating income for the
aluminum honeycomb segment for the second quarter and first six months of 1997
increased to $383 thousand and $629 thousand, respectively, compared to $292
thousand and $488 thousand, respectively during similar periods in 1996.
Operating income for the composite segment 

                                      7

<PAGE>

for the second quarter and first six months of 1997 increased to $159 thousand
and $229 thousand respectively, compared to $16 thousand and $30 thousand
respectively during similar periods in 1996. The overall improvements in
consolidated operating income for 1997 resulted from higher sales and increased
productivity from larger long-term contracts, improved gross margin (23% vs.
21.5%) and reduced selling, marketing and administrative expenses (15% vs. 16%).

Interest expense for the second quarter 1997 was $122 thousand compared to $121
thousand in the second quarter of 1996. Interest expense for the first six
months of 1997 was $233 thousand on $5.4 million loans outstanding, compared to
$248 thousand on $4.1 million loans outstanding in 1996, a decrease of 6%. The
interest rate in 1996 was prime plus 2-1/2% (10-1/2%) vs. 8.65% in 1997.

The expansion and rehabilitation of the Belcamp, Maryland facility are scheduled
for completion during the fourth quarter of 1997 and will support expanding
production requirements for engine nacelle honeycomb for the military C-17

aircraft program and honeycomb control surfaces for Boeing 767 and 757 aircraft
programs.

On June 6, 1997, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Technical
Products Group, Inc. ("TPG"), headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia to merge TPG
with and into Lunn, with Lunn being the surviving corporation. TPG is a
privately held Delaware corporation formed by the acquisition of the assets of
three operating units of the Brunswick Technical Group of Brunswick Corporation.
TPG is a major supplier of advanced composite material products to the
aerospace, defense and commercial markets. TPG's products include radomes,
aircraft components, engine components, rocket motor cases, missile and
satellite composite structures, pressure vessels, relocatable shelters, missile
launch tubes, torque shafts and fuel tanks, as well as a wide range of
integrated defense systems, including electro-optical systems, chemical
detection systems, ordnance delivery systems and lightweight camouflage systems.

Upon consummation of the merger, each outstanding share of Lunn common stock
will be converted into 0.1 shares of newly-issued common stock of the combined
company. Each outstanding share of TPG common stock will be converted into
8.3028 shares of the common stock of the combined company. The combined company
will succeed to and assume all of the rights and obligations of TPG and Lunn. In
addition, the combined company will assume all TPG options, Lunn options and
Lunn warrants, each such option and warrant to become exercisable for the number
of whole shares of the combined company's common stock equal to the number of
shares of TPG common stock or Lunn common stock covered thereby immediately
prior to the merger multiplied by 0.1 in the case of Lunn options and Lunn
warrants and 8.3028 in the case of TPG options.

On June 25, 1997 the Company filed an S-4 Registration Statement and Combined
Proxy with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Once the Registration
Statement is 

                                      8

<PAGE>

declared effective, the Company will establish a record date, send proxy
materials to all shareholders and schedule and hold an annual meeting of
shareholders to vote on the proposed merger. It is anticipated that, unless
delayed by unforeseen circumstances, the proxy solicitation and annual meeting
will take place either late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter
of 1997.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Net cash provided from operations during the first six months of 1997 was $769
thousand, compared to $890 thousand cash used in operations during the same
period in 1996. Net cash provided during the first six months of 1997 was
comprised of $648 thousand net income plus $684 thousand in non-cash items,
primarily depreciation, offset by $563 thousand in changes in assets and
liabilities. Net cash used in operations during the first six months of 1996
consisted of $295 thousand net income, plus $623 thousand in non-cash items,
again primarily depreciation, offset by $1.808 million in changes in assets and
liabilities.


Net cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 1997 was
$4.026 million. This was comprised of $2.332 million utilized for the purchase
of the Company's honeycomb manufacturing facility located in Belcamp, MD, $493
thousand for the purchase of new machinery and equipment and $1.201 million for
construction in progress at the Company's facilities located in Belcamp,
Maryland and Glen Cove, New York.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $3.263 million,
comprised primarily of $2.399 million proceeds from the State of Maryland
Industrial Development Bonds, $175 thousand proceeds from the exercise of
warrants and $582 thousand in increased borrowing against the Company's
revolving credit facility.

On May 14, 1997, the Company entered into a financing agreement with the State
of Maryland to provide $2.6 million in 15 year tax-exempt industrial development
bonds bearing interest at a variable rate adjusted weekly to finance the
purchase of the Company's Belcamp, Maryland honeycomb manufacturing facility and
an adjacent 3.2 acre parcel of land. Previously, on April 17, 1997, the Company
entered into an interest rate hedge agreement with First Union Bank of Maryland
to fix the interest rate on the tax exempt bonds at 5.07% through the year 2012.

Additionally, on July 7, 1997, in conjunction with the tax exempt bond financing
noted above, the Company entered into a ten-year $810 thousand Maryland
Industrial and Commercial Redevelopment Fund (MICRF) loan agreement with
interest set at a fixed rate of 5.1% annually, plus a five-year $60 thousand
loan from Harford County, Maryland with interest set at a fixed rate of 5.5% and
a $30 thousand Harford County, Maryland three 

                                      9

year tax credit. The proceeds of these loans are intended to finance the
expansion and rehabilitation of the Belcamp, Maryland honeycomb facility.

The Company believes it has sufficient capital resources to operate successfully
over the next twelve months. Capital expenditure projects are being implemented
in accordance with the Company's 1997 capital plan to ensure adequate capacity,
facilities and support are available to meet anticipated increased demand for
the Company's products. The Company believes that, based on current quarter and
six-month results, operating cash flow together with credit availability under
the Company's revolving credit line will be sufficient to support its working
capital needs. However, should circumstances arise affecting cash flow or
requiring additional capital expenditures beyond those anticipated, there can be
no assurances that such funds will be available. (See "Forward-Looking
Statements - Cautionary Factors.")

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Statements of an
Enterprise and Related Information"( Statement 131). Statement 131 establishes
standards to report information about operating segments and related discussions

about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. Statement 131
is effective for financial statements for the period beginning after December
15,1997. The statement permits early application and requires restatements of
all prior periods. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of
Statement 131, but does not believe that the adoption of Statement 131 will have
a material effect on previously reported segment information.

Forward Looking Statements - Cautionary Factors

Except for the historical information and statements contained in this Report,
the matters and items set forth in this Report are forward looking statements
that involve uncertainties and risks, some of which are discussed at appropriate
points in the Report and are also summarized as follows:

1. The U.S. Government is a significant customer of the Company. Prime contracts
represent 9% of its revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997. With the
continuing pressure to reduce government spending, in addition to the worldwide
political climate creating an environment of less visible military threats to
the united States, the de-emphasis in military spending is expected to continue.
This could potentially have a material adverse effect on future projects upon
which the Company's backlog is based and upon programs the Company is pursuing.

                                      10

<PAGE>

2. Vendor prices for production materials such as aluminum foil, resins, liquid
and film adhesives, reinforcing fiber materials and other materials and supplies
could increase as demand for aircraft parts and assemblies increase to match
higher build rates for commercial aircraft. Higher material prices and demand
for lower aircraft part and assembly prices could place increasing pressure on
the Company's operating margins and net income.

3. The Company currently sells honeycomb and bonded panel products to the
commercial aircraft industry. Future planning for the Company anticipates
continuing increases in demand for these products over the next several years.
To the extent these increases fail to materialize or fall significantly below
projections, the Company's business could be materially affected.

Subsequent Events

On August 1, 1997, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Alcore, entered into a
technology license agreement with Showa Aircraft Industry Co., Ltd. of Japan
("Showa") for an initial term of ten years with an additional five year term
upon the consent of Alcore and Showa. The agreement calls for Alcore to supply
Showa all appropriate and necessary technical documentation, processes and
production know-how to enable Showa to manufacture and sell PAA (phosphoric acid
anodized) aluminum honeycomb exclusively in Japan, Asia and the Pacific Rim
countries. The agreement also provides that Cytec Engineered Materials, Inc.
("Cytec"), Alcore's exclusive supplier of certain proprietary primer and
adhesive materials for PAA honeycomb, to offer the same primer and adhesive
materials to Showa for the duration of the term of the exclusive agreement
between Alcore and Cytec. In the interim period before Showa establishes full
PAA honeycomb manufacturing capability, including the capability to PAA anodize
and prime aluminum foil, the agreement calls for Alcore to supply Showa PAA
anodized and primed foil for use

by Showa in the manufacture of PAA honeycomb. Additionally, the agreement called
for Alcore to support Showa's efforts to secure full PAA honeycomb qualification
by Boeing and other aircraft manufacturers on an expedited basis. In return for
the technology transfer, Showa paid Alcore $500 thousand plus $100 thousand
additional to be paid at the time Showa begins full PAA honeycomb production
utilizing Showa PAA anodized and primed aluminum foil. Additionally, Showa will
pay royalties of 4% for a period of five years on sales of all Showa produced
PAA honeycomb utilizing Showa PAA anodized and primed aluminum foil.
