            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, consisting of a normal recurring 
nature, 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 $2,629,000 and $2,200,000  were
recorded for the three months ended September 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  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, 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 November 3, 1997 the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
common stock of CoilMate, Inc. (CoilMate) of Southington, Connecticut.  CoilMate
is the leading producer of pallet decoiling equipment for the metal stamping and
roll forming industries.  The purchase price paid was approximately $3,500,000.

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,  a
Eurodollar-based  rate 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  $1,000,000 at September 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 Engineering, Inc. on 
January 31,  1997.

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 third quarter of
1997 were up 4.5% relative to the third quarter of 1996.  Significantly improved
sales  in  certain  residential  and  commercial  hydronic  products  as well as
gas-fired 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 26.7% to 27.7%. Operating income for this segment was up
from  $4,352,000 in the third quarter of 1996 to $4,483,000 in the third quarter
of 1997.  (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 third quarter of 1997 ($20,543,000 versus $14,758,000)
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  increased  from 24.6% to 28.0%,  and operating  income  increased  from
$1,138,000  to  $1,595,000  due  in  part  to  the  effect  of  certain  product
development costs incurred by Omega Flex, Inc., (Omega) and other transitional
costs incurred by Rowe during the quarter ended September 30, 1996. 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 has 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 increased  Revenues,  Gross
Profit margins and Operating  income figures in the quarter ended  September 30,
1997 relative to the quarter ended September 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 19.2% to 20.6%  owing  principally  to  increased  sales  expenses.  (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 third quarter of 1997 for the Company as a whole,
increased by $874,000 or 14.3% relative to the third quarter of 1996  reflecting
the various effects mentioned above.

     The Company's  total debt (long-term debt plus current portion of long-term
debt)  decreased  slightly during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 despite a
seasonal  growth in  receivables  as well as additional  investments  in capital
equipment due to strong  positive cash flows from earnings.  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.
