            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


1.  Financial Statements

      The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
      the Company and all of its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany
      transactions have been eliminated.  The unaudited consolidated financial
      statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
      accounting principles, which requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
      as of the date of such financial statements, and the reported amounts of
      revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  It should be
      recognized that the actual results could differ from those estimates.

      In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited
      consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
      present fairly the financial position of the Company at November 30,
      1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
      periods ended November 30, 1996 and 1995.  Such results are not
      necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


2.    Restructuring

      In October 1996, the Company announced its decision to realign and
      refocus its operations, including the closure of certain facilities with
      an aggregate of one million square feet of manufacturing and
      distribution/warehousing space.  The realignment will result in the
      termination of approximately 1,700 employees, with a net reduction of
      approximately 1,000 employee positions.  As a part of this realignment,
      facilities producing both automotive and industrial products will become
      dedicated to one or the other of the Company's business segments.  The
      restructuring is estimated to be substantially completed within 12 to 18
      months of the announcement date.  The primary elements of the charge are
      as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

                                             

      Employee termination and other
       associated costs                     $ 34,600
      Facility closing and lease
       run-out costs                          30,500
      Fixed asset impairments and
       asset write-off's                      47,400
        Pre-tax charge                       112,500
      Tax benefit                             45,000
        Net of tax charge                   $ 67,500 

        Net of tax charge per
         fully diluted share
         of common stock                       $1.06

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


      The employee termination and other associated costs include amounts to
      be paid to approximately 1,700 employees of certain of the Company's
      manufacturing and distribution facilities in the U.S. and Europe.   
      Such costs also include amounts to be paid to employees out of the
      Company's master defined-benefit pension plan, as well as the
      accelerated recognition of related unamortized costs.  

3.  Acquisitions and Divestitures 

      In fiscal 1997, the Company acquired the net assets of the Imperial
      Eastman division of the Pullman Company for a cash purchase price of
      approximately $78.0 million.  Imperial Eastman is a manufacturer and
      marketer of a broad range of thermoplastic hydraulic and pneumatic hose
      assemblies, and steel and brass couplings, adapters and fittings for
      both high and low pressure applications.  Imperial Eastman is included
      in the Company's Industrial business segment.

      In fiscal 1996, the Company acquired the net assets of FitzSimons
      Manufacturing Company ("FitzSimons") for a cash purchase price of
      approximately $24.4 million.  FitzSimons is a manufacturer of fuel
      system components for the North American automobile and truck
      industries, and is included in the Company's automotive business
      segment.

      During fiscal 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the stock
      of Purolator Products Company ("Purolator") for a total cash purchase
      price, including expenses, of approximately $286 million.  Purolator is
      a manufacturer of a broad range of filtration products used principally
      in the automotive aftermarket, and specialized industrial applications.

      During the third quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company sold its Vapor
      Corporation and Interstate Highway Signs businesses.  The results of
      operations of these units have been included in the accompanying
      consolidated statements of income of the Company up to their respective
      disposal dates.  The units sold were all part of the Company's
      Industrial business segment, and had total fiscal 1996 revenues of
      approximately $85.0 million. 

      In December 1996, the Company signed an agreement to sell its
      professional audio business, Mark IV Audio.  The agreement has
      customary conditions for a transaction of this nature, including
      regulatory approvals.  The results of operations of Mark IV Audio
      have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial
      statements.

4.  Accounts Receivable and Inventories

      Accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for doubtful
      accounts of $17.5 million and  $16.7 million at November 30, 1996 and
      February 29, 1996, respectively.

      Inventories consist of the following components (dollars in thousands):

                                              November 30      February 29
                                                  1996             1996 

        Raw materials                          $ 98,800         $ 112,900
        Work-in-process                          72,600            57,500
        Finished goods                          267,300           234,600
              Total                            $438,700         $ 405,000

      Since physical inventories taken during the year do not necessarily
      coincide with the end of a quarter, management has estimated the
      composition of inventories with respect to raw materials, work-in-
      process and finished goods.  It is management's opinion that this
      estimate represents a reasonable approximation of the inventory
      breakdown as of November 30, 1996.  The amounts at February 29, 1996 are
      based upon the audited balance sheet at that date.

  
5.  Property, Plant and Equipment

      Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and consist of the
      following components (dollars in thousands):
                                                   November 30,   February 29,

7.    For purposes of cash flows, the Company considers overnight investments
      as cash equivalents.  The Company made cash interest payments of
      approximately $55.0 million and $51.6 million in the nine month periods
      ended November 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The Company also made
      cash income tax payments of approximately $22.3 million and $26.2
      million in the nine month periods ended November 30, 1996 and 1995,
      respectively.

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




Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by earnings (net income before non-cash items and the
effects of the restructuring charge and asset divestitures) was approximately
$146.7 million for the nine month period ended November 30, 1996, an increase
of $11.7 million (9%) over the nine month period ended November 30, 1995.  As
of November 30, 1996, the Company had a working capital investment of $402.6
million, which is comparable to the $404.9 million level which existed at
February 29, 1996.  Excluding the effects of the restructuring and the working
capital requirements of acquisitions and divestitures in the current year, the
Company's working capital investment as of November 30, 1996 reflects an 
increase of approximately $42.5 million over the amount invested as of 
February 29, 1996 on a comparable basis.

In March 1996, the Company acquired the net assets of the Imperial Eastman
division of The Pullman Company for a cash purchase price of approximately $78
million.  Imperial Eastman is a leading manufacturer and marketer of a broad
range of thermoplastic hydraulic and pneumatic hose assemblies, and steel and
brass couplings, adapters and fittings for both high and low pressure
applications.  Imperial Eastman is included in the Company's Industrial
business segment. 

In September and October 1996, the Company sold its Vapor Corporation and
Interstate Highway Signs businesses and certain other assets for total
proceeds of approximately $102 million.  Such proceeds were used initially to
reduce borrowings outstanding under the Company's Credit Agreement.  However,
these proceeds, along with those from additional dispositions, may be
redeployed to finance acquisitions and/or repurchase the Company's common
stock.  

In October 1996, the Company announced its decision to realign and refocus its
operations, including the closure of certain facilities and a net reduction of
approximately 1,000 employee positions.  As a part of this realignment,
facilities producing both automotive and industrial products will be dedicated
to one or the other of the Company's business segments.

The realignment resulted in a charge in the Company's third fiscal quarter of
approximately $67.5 million after taxes, or $1.06 per fully-diluted share. On
a pre-tax basis, the charge is $112.5 million, with approximately $60.7
million consisting of non-cash items.  The non-cash charge comes from the
revaluation of long-term assets related to the facilities being realigned and
certain pension-related costs.  The $51.8 million cash charge will cover
employee-related transition and other closing costs. The asset divestiture
transactions referred to above resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $20
million.  Such gain is sufficient to cover approximately 40% of the cash cost
of the restructuring.

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


In December 1996, the Company announced it has entered into an agreement to
sell its professional audio business, Mark IV Audio, for $151.5 million in
cash, subject to closing adjustments.  The agreement has customary conditions
for transactions of this nature, such as regulatory approvals and funding of
financing commitments.  The transaction is scheduled to close in the Company's
fourth quarter.

The Company has borrowing availability under its primary credit agreements of
$390.0 million and additional availability under its various domestic and
foreign demand lines of credit of approximately $210.0 million as of November
30, 1996.  Long-term debt at November 30, 1996 was $643.9 million, which is
comparable to the $642.5 million that was outstanding as of February 29, 1996. 
The nominal change reflects the fact that the proceeds from the asset
divestitures referred to above offset the cost of the Imperial Eastman and
other acquisitions in the current period.  Debt reduction in the balance of
the fiscal year will be pursued through the use of cash generated from
operations, as well as the anticipated cash to be generated from the Company's
current divestiture program.


Management believes that cash generated from operations, as temporarily
supplemented with existing credit availability, should be sufficient to
support the Company's working capital requirements and anticipated capital
expenditures for the foreseeable future, including the costs associated with
the restructuring efforts.


Results of Operations

The Company classifies its operations in two business segments:  Automotive
and Industrial.  The Company's current business strategy is focused upon the
enhancement of its business segments through internal growth, cost control and
quality improvement programs and selective, strategic acquisitions with an
emphasis on expanding each segment's international presence.  In that regard,
in addition to the Imperial Eastman acquisition referred to above, the Company
also acquired FitzSimons Manufacturing Company ("FitzSimons") in the latter
part of fiscal 1996.

Net sales for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 1996
increased by $55.4 million (11%) and $221.4 million (14%) over the comparable
periods last year.  These increases were attributable to internal sales
growth, as well as the inclusion of the results of operations of Imperial
Eastman and FitzSimons.  On a pro forma basis, assuming the acquisitions and
recent divestitures had occurred at the beginning of the prior year, sales for
the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 1996 increased 5% and 6%,
respectively, over the comparable periods last year.


<PAGE>13





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



In the Company's Automotive segment, net sales increased $36 million (14%) and
$105.2 million (14%)  for the three and nine month periods ended November 30,
1996 over the comparable periods last year.  On a pro forma basis, including
FitzSimons in the prior year, the Automotive segment's net sales for the three
and nine month periods ended November 30, 1996 increased approximately 7% over
the comparable periods last year.  The internal growth in the Automotive
segment was primarily generated by the segment's Automotive OEM sector, with
the foreign OEM growth substantially outpacing domestic growth, primarily due
to more revenue per vehicle built.  In the Aftermarket sector, internal sales
growth was up approximately 3% for the three and nine month periods ended
November 30, 1996 in comparison to the prior year, with the increase in the
maintenance (filters) side slightly exceeding the increase in the traditional
(belts and hose) side of the sector.

In the Company's Industrial segment, net sales increased $19.4 million (7%)
and $116.2 million (14%) for the three and nine month periods ended November
30, 1996 over the comparable periods last year.  On a pro forma basis,
assuming the Imperial Eastman acquisition and the asset divestitures had
occurred at the beginning of the prior year, sales for the three and nine
month periods ended November 30, 1996 increased approximately 5% over the
comparable periods last year.  This internal growth was lead by growth in the
segment's general industrial and transportation sectors.

The cost of products sold as a percentage of consolidated net sales has
remained relatively consistent at approximately 68% throughout the current and
prior year periods. Selling and administration costs as a percentage of
consolidated net sales were 16% for the three and nine month periods ended
November 30, 1996, as well as for the three month period ended November 30,
1995.  This reduced level of costs in comparison to the 16.5% relationship for
the nine month period in the prior year reflects operating efficiencies
achieved from the integration of the Purolator businesses and the
reorganization of the Company's business segments during fiscal 1996.  The
reduction in the level of costs also indicates the Company's continued
emphasis on cost control has been successful in substantially offsetting the
impact of inflation on such costs.
 
Research and development costs increased by $2.0 million (15%) and $5.3
million (15%) for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 1996 as
compared to the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 1995.  As a
percentage of consolidated net sales, these expenses remained relatively
consistent in the range of 2.0% - 2.5% in each period, which reflects the
Company's continuing emphasis on new product development.


<PAGE>14


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



Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.2 million (7%) and $6.6
million (13%) for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 1996 as
compared to the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 1995.  The
increases are primarily attributable to the Company's increased level of
capital equipment expenditures, as well as the effects of the Imperial Eastman
and FitzSimons acquisitions.  

Interest expense for the nine month period ended November 30, 1996 increased
by $7.3 million (16%) as compared to the nine month period ended November 30,
1995.  The increase is primarily due to borrowings incurred to finance the
acquisitions of FitzSimons and Imperial Eastman, and to support temporarily
higher working capital levels.  The Company experienced increases in the rates
on it's domestic debt, primarily related to the private placement of $250
million 7-3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes at the beginning of fiscal 1997. 
Such higher costs were offset slightly by lower rates on the Company's Credit
Agreement, as a result of its being amended at the beginning of fiscal 1997. 
The Company also experienced a slight reduction in the rates on its foreign
debt during the period. Interest expense for the three month period ended
November 30, 1996 was reduced approximately $1.8 million (10%) from the level
incurred in the three month period ended August 31, 1996.  The improvement
reflects the benefits of the proceeds from the asset divestitures, which were
used to reduce borrowings outstanding under the Company's Credit Agreement.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended November 30,
1996 reflects a benefit of 41.2% and expense of 36.2%, respectively, compared
to an expense of approximately 39% in the prior year periods.  The reason for
the current period rates differing from the prior year is primarily due to the
restructuring charge which provided a slightly higher tax benefit than the 39%
blended rate on earnings before the restructuring charge.  Excluding the
effects of the restructuring charge, the Company's provision for income taxes
as a percentage of pre-tax accounting income for the three and nine month
periods ended November 30, 1996 and 1995 remained relatively consistent at
approximately 39%.  The benefit of increased domestic income resulting from
acquisitions and internal growth were substantially offset by increased income
in foreign locations with higher statutory tax rates than in the U.S.

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




Based upon all of the above, the Company's net income was made up of the
following elements (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

                                           Three Months       Nine Months

Fully diluted income per share:

  Income before special items                $    .42            $  1.29      
  Restructuring charge                          (1.06)             (1.06)

     Net income (loss)                       $   (.45)           $   .42 


The income before special items for the three and nine month periods ended
November 30, 1996 reflects an increase of $3.7 million (16%) and $10.2 million
(14%) over the comparable net income amounts for the prior year.  On a fully
diluted per share basis, such amounts for the three and nine month periods
ended November 30, 1996 represent an increase of 17% and 14% over the
comparable net income amounts for the prior year periods.



Impact of Inflation

Although the Company has experienced delays in its ability to pass on certain
inflation related cost increases, the Company does not expect that such delays
or the overall impact of inflation will have a material impact on the
Company's operations.

- ------------------------------------ 
(1)   The net effects for the three and nine month periods ended November 30,
      1996 and 1995 are based upon the treasury stock method using the average
      market price during the periods for the primary amounts, and the higher
      of the average market price or the market price at the end of the period
      for the fully-diluted amounts. 
(2)   Primary earnings per share have been reported in the Company's 
      financial statements based only upon the shares of common stock
      outstanding, since the dilutive effect of the stock options 
      is not considered to be material.
