                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q used for quarterly
reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and
therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     The financial information included in this report has been prepared in
conformity with the accounting principles and methods of applying those
accounting principles, reflected in the financial statements included in the
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for
the year ended December 31, 1993.

     All adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods presented have been recorded.

     The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the year.


CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

     Effective January 1, 1993 the Registrant adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109").  In
prior years, the Registrant accounted for income taxes using Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 11.  SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported
amount in the consolidated financial statements using enacted tax rates.  Future
tax benefits attributable to these differences are recognized to the extent that
realization of such benefits is more likely than not.

     Under the provisions of SFAS 109, the Registrant has elected not to restate
prior years' consolidated financial statements.  The cumulative effect of this
accounting change on years prior to 1993 resulted in a benefit of $702,000, or
$.11 per share which was recorded in the 1993 first quarter results.

                                  Page 7 of 18



<PAGE>

     The cumulative benefit recorded by the Registrant primarily arises from
basis differences of real properties held for rental for financial statement and
income tax purposes.  Based upon the Registrant's historical and projected
levels of pre-tax income,  management believes it is more likely than not that
the Registrant will realize such benefits in the future and accordingly no
valuation reserve has been recorded.


     The components of the net deferred tax asset (liability) at March 31, 1994
are as follows:

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

     On March 14, 1994 the Registrant, through a new wholly-owned subsidiary
known as Kentile, Inc., purchased substantially all of the operating assets of
Kentile Floors, Inc. ("Kentile") for approximately $9.6 million.  Kentile, Inc.
is expected to generate approximately $40 million in revenues during calendar
1994.  The purchase price was comprised of approximately $6.5 million in new
bank financing and approximately $3.1 million in cash including a portion paid
to obtain clear title to Kentile's Chicago manufacturing facility.

     The $3.1 million cash payment includes $775,000 that was advanced to
Kentile by the Registrant during 1993 and was also partially derived from a
total of $4 million in short-term borrowings by the Registrant during the first
quarter of 1994. The proceeds from this sale were used by Kentile to repay
amounts outstanding under its asset-based lending agreement, thereby relieving
the Registrant of its obligation under the letter of credit, discussed below.

                                  Page 8 of 18



<PAGE>

     In November 1992, Kentile filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code.  Subsequent thereto, the Registrant acquired a
one-third equity interest in Kentile together with an option to purchase an
additional interest in the future.  In consideration for this interest and
option in Kentile, the Registrant provided a $2 million letter of credit to
partially guarantee borrowings under Kentile's asset-based lending agreement.
The letter of credit arrangement was made pursuant to Bankruptcy Court approval
on a priority basis. In light of the uncertain outcome of Kentile's bankruptcy
proceedings, no value was assigned to the stock acquired by the Registrant.

     The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price, including associated costs of
the acquisition, was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
on their fair value at the date of acquisition as follows (in thousands):

     The results of operations of Kentile have been included in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income from the date of acquisition.

     The following unaudited pro-forma consolidated results of operations of the
Registrant for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, assume that the
acquisition of Kentile had occurred at the beginning of each period presented.
In addition to combining historical results of operations of the two companies,
the pro-forma calculations include adjustments to historical assets, liabilities
and results of operations which occur in a purchase.

results that would have occurred had the acquisition of Kentile been consummated
at the beginning of the periods presented or of future operations of the
combined companies.

     In a separate transaction, the Registrant acquired the underlying mortgage
secured by Kentile's manufacturing facilities for $3,000,000.  One such facility
is not currently being utilized in Kentile's operations.  This note has a face
amount outstanding of approximately $6.5 million plus delinquent accrued
interest.  Due to the uncertainty of collection of this note the Registrant has
accounted for this mortgage as an in-substance foreclosure and accordingly
recorded the purchase price as property, plant and equipment in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

     In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115"). This standard requires,
among other things, that investments in debt and equity securities be classified
as either held-to-maturity, trading, or available for sale.  Investments in debt
securities will be classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost
in the consolidated balance sheet only if the Registrant has the positive intent
and ability to hold those securities to maturity. Debt and equity securities
that are purchased and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near
term will be measured at fair value and classified as trading
securities.  Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities will be included
in current earnings.  All securities not classified as trading or held-to-
maturity will be classified as available for sale and measured at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale will be recorded
net, as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized.

     The Registrant adopted SFAS 115 effective January 1, 1994.  The application
of this new principle has resulted in an increase in the Registrant's
stockholders' equity of approximately $617,000 on a net of tax basis at March
31, 1994 .  This change in accounting principle is not expected to have a
material effect upon the consolidated financial results of the Registrant given
the current market value and cost basis of securities available for sale.

     At March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 the aggregate market value of
marketable securities which are all available for sale exceeded their aggregate
cost by approximately $935,000 and $578,000, respectively.

CONTINGENCIES

     The Registrant has undertaken the completion of environmental studies
and/or remedial action at Metex' two New Jersey facilities.

     The process of remediation has begun at one facility pursuant to a plan
filed with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy
("NJDEPE").  Environmental experts engaged by the Registrant currently estimate
that under the most probable remediation scenario the remediation of this site
is anticipated to require initial expenditures of $860,000, including the cost
of capital equipment, and $86,000 in annual operating and maintenance costs over
a 15-year period.

                                  Page 10 of 18


<PAGE>


      Environmental studies at the second facility indicate that remediation
may be necessary.  Based upon the facts presently available, environmental
experts have advised the Registrant that under the most probable remediation
scenario, the estimated cost to remediate this site is anticipated to require
$2.3 million in initial costs, including capital equipment expenditures, and
$258,000 in annual operating and maintenance costs over a 10-year period.  The
Registrant may revise such estimates in the future due to the uncertainty
regarding the nature, timing and extent of any remediation efforts that may be
required at this site, should an appropriate regulatory agency deem such
efforts to be necessary.

      The foregoing estimates may also be revised by the Registrant as new or
additional information in these matters become available or should the NJDEPE
or other regulatory agencies require additional or alternative remediation
efforts in the future.  It is not currently possible to estimate the range or
amount of any such liability.

      Although the Registrant believes that it is entitled to full defense and
indemnification with respect to environmental investigation and remediation
costs under its insurance policies, the Registrant's insurers have denied such
coverage.  Accordingly, the Registrant has filed an action against certain
insurance carriers seeking defense and indemnification with respect to all
prior and future costs incurred in the investigation and remediation of these
sites.  Upon the advice of counsel, the Registrant believes that based upon a
present understanding of the facts and the present state of the law in New
Jersey, it is probable that the Registrant will prevail in the pending
litigation and thereby access all or a very substantial portion of the
insurance coverage it claims; however, the ultimate outcome of litigation
cannot be predicted.

      As a result of the foregoing, the Registrant has not recorded a charge
to operations for the environmental remediation, noted above, in the
consolidated financial statements, as anticipated proceeds from insurance
recoveries are expected to offset such liabilities.  Although the Registrant
has reached a settlement with two insurance carriers, it has not recognized
any significant recoveries to date.

      In the opinion of management, these matters will be resolved favorably
and such amounts, if any, not recovered under the Registrant's insurance
policies will be paid gradually over a period of years and, accordingly,
should not have a material adverse effect upon the business, liquidity or
financial position of the Registrant.  However, adverse decisions or events,
particularly as to the merits of the Registrant's factual and legal basis
could cause the Registrant to change it's estimate of liability with respect
to such matters in the future.

      Effective January 1, 1994 the Registrant has adopted the provisions of
Staff Accounting Bulletin 92 by recording the expected liability associated
with remediation efforts as a component of other long-term liabilities and the
anticipated insurance recoveries as a component of other assets in the
Registrant's consolidated financial statements.

                                 Page 11 of 18

<PAGE>

      The Registrant is involved in various other litigation and legal matters
which are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business.  None
of these matters are expected to result in a judgment having a material
adverse effect on the Registrant's consolidated financial position or results
of operations.

COMMON STOCK

      During the first three months of 1994, the Registrant purchased and
retired 13,500 shares of its common stock at a cost of $131,246.  During the
same period in 1993, 111,304 shares were purchased and retired at a cost of
$491,314.

Authorized Capital and Treasury Stock

      At the June 8, 1993 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders voted
to amend the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the
authorized capital of the Registrant to 7,500,000 shares of $.10 par value
common stock.

Earnings Per Share

      Earnings per share computations for each quarterly period presented are
based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilative common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Fully diluted and primary
earnings per common share are the same amounts for each of the periods
presented.  Earnings per share data is neither restated nor adjusted currently
to obtain quarterly amounts which equal the amount computed for the year-to-
date.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

      Certain amounts have been reclassified in the prior year financial
statements to present them on a basis consistent with the current year.



  ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 AND 1993

      Revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 1994 were
$21,356,000, a $3,524,000 increase from comparable 1993 revenues.  Net income
for the period was $1,442,000 or $.23 per share as compared to net income of
$1,673,000 or $.27 per share for the same period in 1993.  Earnings before
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for the first three months
of 1994 were $.23 per share as compared to $.16 per share for the same period
in 1993.

      REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS

      Rental revenues from real estate operations increased $612,000 or 12%
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1994 versus such revenues for the
comparable 1993 period.  This increase is primarily the result of additional
revenues generated from the  renewal of existing leases at higher rates.

      Mortgage interest expense decreased $118,000 during the quarter ended
March 31, 1994 as compared to such expense in the corresponding 1993 period.
This represents a 8% decrease  which is the result of continuing mortgage
amortization.

      Depreciation expense associated with rental properties was virtually
unchanged during the three-month period just ended as compared to such expense
for the same period in 1993.

      Operating expenses associated with the management of real estate
properties decreased $67,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1994
versus that of the same period in 1993.  The timing of certain maintenance
costs in the current quarter and prior year account for this decrease.

      ANTENNA SYSTEMS

      The Registrant's antenna systems segment includes Dorne & Margolin, Inc.
and D&M/Chu Technology, Inc.

      The operating results of the antenna systems segment for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:

</TABLE>

      Net sales of the antenna systems segment decreased $138,000 or 3% during
the first quarter of 1994 versus such sales generated during the comparable
1993 period.  Reduction in military, as well as commercial sales continue to
seriously effect the Registrant's antenna systems segment.

      Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the antenna systems
segment increased 7.4% during the first quarter of 1994 as compared to that of
the same period in 1993.  This increase is the result of changes in the mix of
products sold and from incurring additional manufacturing costs of certain
D&M/CHU products that are now being manufactured at Dorne & Margolin.  This is
not expected to continue in the future as experience is gained in the
production of these products.

                                 Page 13 of 18

<PAGE>

      Selling, general and administrative expenses of the antenna systems
segment decreased $172,000 for the quarter as compared to such expenses in the
corresponding period of 1993.  This decrease is the result of administrative
savings resulting from the consolidation of the Dorne & Margolin and D&M/Chu
operations.


      ENGINEERED PRODUCTS

      The Registrant's engineered products segment includes Metex Corporation
and AFP Transformers, Inc.


      The operating results of the engineered products segment for the three-
month period ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:

</TABLE>

Net sales generated by the engineered products segment increased $1,164,000
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1994 as compared to net sales
generated during the comparable 1993 period.  This increase is the result of
higher automotive related sales at Metex' Technical Products Division and is
offset by slightly lower sales generated by AFP Transformers.  The additional
sales generated by Metex is primarily a result of increased demand for the
company's air bag components.

      Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased by less than 1% for
the quarter ended March 31, 1994 versus that of the corresponding period in
1993.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses of the engineered  products
segment decreased $44,000 or 3% for the quarter and ended March 31, 1994
versus the corresponding 1993 period.  This decrease primarily results non-
recurring SG&A costs of AFP Transformers incurred in 1993 in connection with
the relocation of such operations from Massachusetts to New Jersey.

      GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

      General and administrative expenses not associated with the
manufacturing operations decreased by $40,000 for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1994 versus that of the same period in 1993.  This decrease in
general and administrative expenses is primarily the result of lower
professional fees incurred in the current year period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At March 31, 1994, the Registrant's cash resources exceeded business
requirements with current assets exceeding current liabilities by
approximately $16,272.

      In addition, the Registrant has an unsecured line of credit with a bank
which provides for borrowings up to $7,000,000 at the bank's prime lending
rate.  At March 31, 1994, $4,000,000 was outstanding under this facility.
This demand facility is reviewed by the bank annually on May 31.

On March 14, 1994, the Registrant, through a new wholly-owned subsidiary known
as Kentile, Inc., purchased substantially all of the operating assets of
Kentile for approximately $9.6 million.  Kentile is expected to generate
approximately $40 million in revenues during calendar 1994.  See Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

      The Registrant has received approval for the State of Illinois and State
of New York for Industrial Development Bonds in the amount of $10 million and
$3 million, respectively.  The Illinois bonds will help finance the purchase
of capital equipment in connection with the purchase and continuing
improvements to the operations of Kentile and will result in the transition of
approximately $4 million of current loans payable at March 31, 1994 to long-
term debt.  The New York bonds will help to finance the expansion of the Dorne
& Margolin facility in connection with the relocation of the D&M/CHU
operations to Bohemia, New York.  The Registrant expects to receive the
proceeds from these bonds during the third quarter of 1994.

The Registrant has undertaken the completion of environmental studies and/or
remedial action at Metex' two New Jersey facilities and has filed an action
against certain insurance carriers seeking recovery of costs incurred and to
be incurred in these matters.  Based upon the advice of counsel, management
believes such recovery is probable and therefore should not have a material
effect on the liquidity or capital resources of the Registrant.  See notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

The cash needs of the Registrant have been satisfied from funds generated by
current operations and additional borrowings.  It is expected that future
operational cash needs will also be satisfied from ongoing operations and
additional borrowings.  The primary source of capital to fund additional real
estate acquisitions will come from the sale, financing and refinancing of the
Registrant's properties and from the third party mortgages and purchase money
notes obtained in connection with specific acquisitions.

In addition to the acquisition of properties for consideration consisting of
cash and mortgage financing proceeds, the Registrant may acquire real
properties in exchange for the issuance of the Registrant's equity securities.
The Registrant may also finance acquisitions of other companies in the future
with borrowings from institutional lenders and/or the public or private
offerings of debt or equity securities.

Funds of the Registrant in excess of that needed for working capital,
purchasing real estate and arranging financing for real estate acquisitions
are invested by the Registrant in corporate equity securities, corporate
notes, certificates of deposit and government securities.

BUSINESS TRENDS


Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1994 were $21,356,000, an
increase of $3,524,000 over the comparable 1993 period.  This increase is the
result of $1,886,000 in revenues from the operations of Kentile, Inc. which
was acquired in March 1994 and from improved results in the Registrant's real
estate and engineered products businesses offset by slightly lower sales from
the antenna systems segment.

The acquisition of Kentile, Inc. will make a significant contribution to sales
during the remainder of 1994 with projections of $40 million in revenues on an
annualized basis. Marginal income contributions are expected from Kentile,
Inc. during 1994 as many aspects of Kentile's transition are being implemented
and changes begin to take shape.

The Registrant's engineered products segment continues to reflect growth in
sales of air bag components and automotive sales which has resulted in an
increase of $1,164,000 in revenues during the first quarter of 1994 versus
comparable 1993 results.  With continued increases in U.S. automobile demand
and as more vehicles are outfitted with air bags, demand for these products
should continue.

The Registrant's antenna systems results reflect marginally lower revenues
during the first quarter of 1994 than during the comparable 1993 period.
Although U.S. military spending still remains low, the decrease in spending
appears to have leveled off.  In addition, concentrated efforts to increase
sales have been implemented and are reflected in the 1994 results.

The improved results in the Registrant's real estate operations reflect the
renewal of existing leases at higher rents and improved results from the
Registrant's hotel properties.  These results can be expected to continue in
the future as older leases are renewed with current market rates.

      Although there can be no assurances as to how the events discussed
above, or other changes in the economy will impact the future financial
conditions or results of operations of the Registrant, management continues to
monitor these developments and has implemented measures to minimize the
possible negative effects they may have upon these businesses.
