            NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)



Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of the company
and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  In the opinion of management, the financial
statements include all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
the Company's  financial  position,  results of operations  and cash flows.  The
results of this interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the
entire year.

Inventories

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost of inventories
is determined principally by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.

Income Taxes

     Provisions for income tax in the amounts of $1,377,000 and $1,816,000  were
recorded for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Goodwill

     The  Company  amortizes  Goodwill  on the  straight  line  basis  over  the
estimated  period to be  benefitted.  The  acquisitions  of  National  Northeast
Corporation,  National Southeast Aluminum Corporation, and Heat Exchangers, Inc.
in 1995 resulted in  goodwill,(adjusted  for  additional  consideration  paid as
explained more fully in Note 2) of  $11,118,000  which will be amortized over 25
years. The acquisitions of Rowe Machinery and Automation,  Inc., and Omega Flex,
Inc.  in 1996,  as more fully  described  in Note 2,  resulted  in  goodwill  of
$7,729,000  which  will be  amortized  over 25 years.  The  acquisition  of Hill
Engineering,  Inc.  on January  31,  1997,  as more fully  described  in Note 2,
resulted in goodwill of $2,892,000  which will be amortized  over 25 years.  The
Company  continually  evaluates the carrying value of goodwill.  Any impairments
would be recognized when the expected  future  operating cash flows derived from
such goodwill is less than their carrying value.

Reclassification

     Reclassifications  are made  periodically  to previously  issued  financial
statements to conform with the current year presentation.

Note 2 - Business Acquisitions

     On  January  31,  1997,  the  Company  acquired  91.01% of the  issued  and
outstanding common stock of Hill Engineering,  Inc. of Villa Park,  Illinois and
Danville, Kentucky (Hill). Hill is a leading producer of precision tools and 
dies for the gasket  manufacturing  and roll-forming  industries and other
speciality equipment. The purchase price paid for the acquired stock was $5.1 
million.

     On  January 2, 1997,  the  Company's  National  Northeast  subsidiary  paid
$4,028,000  in additional  consideration  related to the purchase on October 30,
1995 of approximately  83% of the issued and outstanding  voting common stock of
National Northeast  Corporation and National Southeast  Corporation  (National).
This payment completes the Company's acquisition of National.

Senior  Notes - On  April  5,  1996  the  Company  borrowed  $15,000,000  from a
commercial  insurance  company on an unsecured basis,  executing a Note Purchase
Agreement and the related Senior Notes,  (The Notes).  The Notes mature March 1,
1998 and bear interest at 5.53%. The Note Purchase  Agreement  contains a number
of financial  covenants  which limit the Company's  overall debt, its dividends,
and  in  certain  circumstances,  its  ability  to  effect  acquisitions  and/or
divestitures.  The Company's  management does not believe that these limitations
will materially affect the Company's future operations or strategic plans.

Revolving Loan Agreement - The Company's  Revolving Loan Agreement and Letter of
Credit Facility with a commercial bank was revised and extended recently through
April 30, 1998. The revised agreement (The Agreement),  provides for $50 million
of unsecured revolving credit, including $10 million of standby letter of credit
capacity.  Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest at a floating rate based
on the bank's prime rate less 1.75% or, at the discretion of the borrower, LIBOR
plus a quoted market factor.  In addition,  the Agreement  provides a $5,000,000
(Canadian)  unsecured line of credit facility.  The Agreement contains financial
covenants  which  require  that the Company  maintain  certain  current  ratios,
working capital amounts,  capital bases and leverage ratios.  The Agreement also
contains restrictions regarding the creation of indebtedness,  the occurrence of
mergers or  consolidations,  the sale of  subsidiary  stock,  and the payment of
dividends in excess of 50% of net income.

Note Payable Bank - The Company has a $10,000,000  unsecured line of credit with
a second  commercial bank which expires on June 30, 1998.  Borrowings  under the
line, which totaled $1,500,000 at June 30, 1997, accrue interest on the basis of
LIBOR plus a quoted market factor.

     Other  bonds and notes  payable  include  $670,000  in secured  obligations
assumed in  connection  with the purchase of Hill on January 31,  1997,  as more
fully described in Note 2.

Note 5 - Earnings Per Common Share

     Earnings  per share were  computed  using the  weighted  average  number of
common shares outstanding.

Note 6 - Shareholder's Equity

     Due to redemptions of the stock interests of certain employees of the 
Company's National Northeast Subsidiary the Company now owns approximately 88%
of the issued and outstanding voting common stock of National Northeast 
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, successor by merger to National Northeast
Corporation and National Southeast Corporation.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation

     Total  revenues in the Company's  HVAC segment during the second quarter of
1996 were essentially flat relative to the second quarter of 1997. Significantly
improved  sales in certain  residential  and commercial  hydronic  products were
offset  somewhat by reduced  sales of certain  industrial  and air  conditioning
products.  The  relocation of the Company's  Koldwave  product line from Skokie,
Illinois to Dundalk,  Maryland, which was completed in 1997, contributed to this
situation.  Gross profit  margins for the HVAC segment  increased  slightly from
26.1% to 26.9%.  Operating  income for this segment was down from  $2,447,000 in
the  second  quarter  of  1996  to  $2,312,000  in the  second  quarter  of 1997
reflecting the effect of overall flat sales mentioned  above.  (Gross Profit and
Operating Income for 1996 for this segment have been adjusted to reflect certain
reclassifications for purposes of comparability).

     Total   Revenues  in  the  Company's   Metal   Products   segment  were  up
significantly during the second quarter of 1997 ($20,268,000 versus $13,234,000)
reflecting the added effect of Dahlstrom  Industries,  Inc.,  acquired on August
30, 1996, and Hill Engineering, Inc., acquired on January 31, 1997. Gross profit
margins were reduced from 25.3% to 23.6%,  and operating  income  decreased from
$1,453,000 to $1,224,000 due to significant  product  development costs incurred
by Omega  Flex,  Inc.,  (Omega)  and  relocation  and other  transitional  costs
incurred by Rowe.  Omega,  acquired  in  February  1996,  is a  manufacturer  of
flexible  metal  hose.  In  January of 1997 Omega  introduced  Trac-Pipe(TM),  a
corrugated  stainless steel tubing product  developed  especially for use in the
piping and installation of gas appliances.  The unexpectedly rapid acceptance of
this  product  led  to  greater  market  development,  product  development  and
manufacturing overhead costs than were originally envisioned. The closing of the
Rowe Machinery manufacturing plant in Dallas, Texas and the move of its products
to the Company's Clinton, Maine facility was completed in the quarter ended June
30, 1997.

     The Company's  computer systems segment reported slightly reduced Revenues,
Gross Profit margins and Operating income figures in the quarter ended June 30,
1997 relative to the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

     For the  Company  as a whole,  Selling,  General  and  Administrative,  and
Engineering costs,  taken together as a percentage of Total Revenues,  increased
from  20.1% to  21.1%  owing  principally  to the  relatively  flat  HVAC  sales
mentioned above. (Sales Expense and General and Administrative Expense for 1996,
as reported in the  accompanying  financial  statements,  have been  adjusted to
reflect certain reclassifications for purposes of comparability).

     Operating income for the second quarter of 1997 for the Company as a whole,
decreased by $584,000 or 12.2% relative to the second quarter of 1996 reflecting
the various effects mentioned above.

     Pretax  income  for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1996  included a $590,000
nonrecurring gain on the sale of the Company's idle Hagerstown,  Maryland plant.
Earnings  per share was  increased  by $.04 in that  quarter as a result of this
transaction.

     The Company's  total debt (long-term debt plus current portion of long-term
debt)  increased   during  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1997  by  $9,916,000,
principally  due to seasonal  growth in receivables  and  inventories as well as
additional  investments in capital  equipment.  Management regards the Company's
current capital  structure and banking  relationships  as fully adequate to meet
foreseeable future needs. The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock
since 1979.
