Item 11.          Executive Compensation
- --------          ----------------------

                             DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION

                  The Directors, except for those who are also employees of the
Corporation, receive an annual stipend of $15,000, an attendance fee of $1,000
for each meeting of the Board of Directors, and an attendance fee of $750 for
each separately called meeting of non-management Directors. In addition, the
non-employee members of the Executive and Finance Committee receive $3,000 per
year, an attendance fee of $750 for each meeting of the Executive and Finance
Committee, and a participation fee of $750 for each regularly scheduled
telephonic meeting and $250 for each special telephonic meeting of the Executive
and Finance Committee and members of the remaining committees other than the
Stock Option Committee receive $3,000 per year, an attendance fee of $250 for
each meeting, and a participation fee of $250 for each telephonic meeting. The
Directors also receive travel and lodging expenses in connection with their
attendance at the Board and Committee meetings.

                  In addition, the Corporation provides certain death and other
benefits to Directors. The Corporation has agreed to pay a death benefit, in the
amount of $200,000, to the estate of each Director, other than a Director who is
also an employee, upon his death. This benefit is provided to a Director while
in office and after retirement if he has served five years. The benefit is
payable from the general assets of the Corporation, and the Corporation has
insured this liability by purchasing life insurance policies on the lives of the
eligible Directors. A Director who does not stand for re-election because he is
72 or older or a Director who does not stand for re-election and who was a
Director in 1976 is designated a "Director Emeritus", is entitled to attend
Board meetings of the Corporation, which reimburses his travel expenses incurred
in attending such Board meetings, and is paid the annual fee to which Directors
are entitled for a period ending upon the earlier of his death or the third
anniversary of the date upon which he ceases to be a Director.

         Officers of the premium paid by the Corporation during 1996 for one or
         more split-dollar insurance policies under which the executive receives
         an interest in the cash surrender value of the policy at the time when
         the ownership of the policy is split between the executive and the
         Corporation, which then becomes the beneficiary of a policy on the
         executive's life with a cash surrender value equivalent to the
         Corporation's premium payments. The executives paid a portion of the
         premium based upon a rate for term life insurance. The amounts

         Stock or Class B Common Stock under the Figgie International Inc.

STOCK OPTIONS

         The following tables provide information on grants of stock options
pursuant to the Figgie International Inc. Key Employees' Stock Option Plan (the
"Stock Option Plan") during the year ended December 31, 1996. The Stock Option
Plan is administered by the Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors,
which has the authority to determine the individuals to whom options are granted
and the terms of all grants thereunder. The Stock Option Plan provides for the
issuance of nonqualified stock options and "incentive stock options," within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, for the Corporation's Class
A Common Stock and the granting of stock appreciation rights ("SARs"). The
options granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan have terms of up to 10 years
from the date of grant and an exercise price equal to one hundred percent (100%)
of the fair market value on the date of grant and are non-transferable.

(1)   The dollar amounts under these columns are the results of calculations at
      assumed annual rates of stock price appreciation of zero percent (0%),
      five percent (5%) and ten percent (10%). These assumed rates of growth
      were selected by the Securities and Exchange Commission for illustration
      purposes only. They are not intended to forecast possible future
      appreciation, if any, of the Corporation's stock price. Since the options
      have an exercise price equal to the market value on the date of grant,
      no gain is possible without an increase in stock prices, which will
      benefit all stockholders. A zero percent (0%) gain in stock price will
      result in a zero percent (0%) benefit to such Optionees.

(2)   Mr. Mabee's options vested in one-third (1/3) cumulative installments on
      each of February 21, 1997, February 21, 1998 and February 21, 1999. Upon
      Mr. Mabee's departure from the Corporation on January 30, 1997, his
      options vested and are now exercisable until seven years from the date of
      grant.

                                RETIREMENT PLANS

RETIREMENT INCOME PLAN II

         All of the Executive Officers of the Corporation are currently accruing
retirement income credits under, or will accrue them upon their satisfaction of
the eligibility requirements set forth in, the Salaried Employee Retirement
Income Provisions of the Figgie International Inc. Retirement Income Plan II
(the "Salaried Provisions"), a defined benefit pension plan. The Salaried
Provisions cover the salaried employees of the Corporation except employees of
certain non-participating divisions and subsidiaries. Directors who are not
employees are not entitled to receive retirement benefits under the Figgie
International Inc. Retirement Income Plan II.

         In general, the Salaried Provisions, as amended effective July 31,
1993, provide that salaried employees accrue dollar units of retirement income
credits for each calendar year of participation in the Salaried Provisions on
the basis of their "Annual Pensionable Earnings." To receive full benefits under
the Salaried Provisions, employees must contribute two percent (2%) of their
"Annual Pensionable Earnings" over their "Covered Compensation." The
following sets forth the percentage Annual Pensionable Earnings which is
accrued as a Retirement Income Credit under the Salaried Provisions:

(1)      "Annual Pensionable Earnings" includes cash salaries and bonuses
         received by the participant but excludes any such earnings in excess of
         $150,000 for calendar year 1996 and thereafter (plus any increase for
         cost-of-living as shall be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury
         pursuant to Sections 401(a)(17) and 415(d) of the Internal Revenue
         Code).

(2)      "Covered Compensation" means the average of the contributions and
         benefit bases in effect under Section 230 of the Social Security Act
         for each such calendar year in the 35 calendar years ending immediately
         prior to each such calendar year. For calendar year 1997, Covered
         Compensation will equal $27,596.
</TABLE>

         Generally, any salaried employee of the Corporation except employees of
certain non-participating divisions and subsidiaries is eligible to participate
in the Salaried Provisions after the earlier of the completion of one year of
service or attainment of age 40. A participant becomes vested in the Salaried
Provisions five years after the participant's hire date. Upon reaching normal
retirement at age 65, each participant is generally entitled to receive an
annual retirement benefit for life equal to the total of the retirement income
credits accrued by him during his period of participation. Such benefit is not
subject to any deduction for Social Security benefits. A reduced annual
retirement income benefit may be payable to a retired employee under other
actuarially equivalent forms of pay-out provided for in the Salaried Provisions.
The Salaried Provisions also contain provisions for early retirement and
preretirement death benefits payable to spouses and dependent children of
certain deceased participants. During 1996, certain employees of the Corporation
and its subsidiaries accrued retirement benefits under separate retirement plans
of the Corporation which cover employees of its divisions or subsidiaries which
are not or were not at the time participating under the Salaried Provisions or a
prior plan which was terminated on November 21, 1988 (the "Prior Plan").

         As of December 31, 1996, the annual benefits payable upon retirement
under the Salaried Provisions, including accrued benefits from the Prior Plan,
to the Named Executive Officers are stated below. In deter mining such benefits,
the executives' earnings were estimated through 1996 and were assumed not to
exceed $150,000 after 1996. Covered Compensation ($27,596 for 1997) was assumed
not to increase after 1997, the maximum allowable employer-funded benefit under
the Internal Revenue Code (which is the greater of $118,800 or the accrued
benefit as of December 31, 1982) was assumed to continue to retirement and 
executives were assumed to continue working until at least age 65 and to be 
fully vested. Based upon the preceding assumptions, the annual benefits payable
to such persons including benefits payable as a result of voluntary
contributions and the accrued benefits from the Prior Plan are as follows: Mr.
Reilly -- [$ ]; Mr. Siemborski -- [$ ]; Mr. Mabee -- [$ ] and Mr. Vilsack --
[$ ].

SENIOR EXECUTIVE BENEFITS PROGRAM

         The following plan table shows the annual benefits upon retirement at
age 65 in 1996 for various combinations of compensation and lengths of service
which may be payable under the Corporation's Senior Executive Benefits Program
(the "SEBP") to the Named Executive Officers. These amounts are paid in addition
to the amounts payable under the Corporation's Salaried Provisions discussed
above.

(1)      Annual benefits are computed on the basis of one hundred percent (100%)
         joint and survivor benefit. The annual benefits reflected in the table
         constitute sixty-five percent (65%) of final covered remuneration
         prorated for service less than fifteen (15) years, less assumed social
         security benefits of $22,464 and less assumed amounts of benefits
         payable under the Salaried Provisions. The benefits under the Salaried
         Provisions have been calculated based upon the assumptions that the
         amount of Covered Compensation, as defined in the Salaried Provisions,
         remains fixed for all years of participation and the amount of Annual
         Pensionable Earnings, as defined in the Salaried Provisions, is limited
         to amounts that do not exceed $150,000. (See the description of the
         Salaried Provisions set forth above.) (Accrual under the Salaried
         Provisions for years prior to [1996] may be less than as assumed.) The
         gross annual benefits will be increased by ten percent (10%) of the
         final covered remuneration for a participant in the SEBP as of February
         18, 1987 or a person hired prior to February 18, 1987 who completes 20
         years of service. The annual benefits will be reduced by any retirement
         or deferred compensation plans of other employers.

(2)      Consists of base salary and the installment payments that have been
         received by an executive under the discretionary bonus component of the
         Corporation's incentive bonus arrangements.

bonus programs of the Corporation during the third and fourth years of the
Employment Contract. Mr. Siemborski also received the right to purchase 150,000
shares of the Corporation's Common Stock, the class to be determined by the
Stock Option Committee, for one dollar ($1.00) per share in four annual
increments of 37,500 shares beginning July 1 and the following November 1st

Stock pursuant to this right), to participate in other benefit plans provided by
the Corporation, and to be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred while
performing his duties under the Employment Contract. Further, the Employment
Contract provides that in the event Mr. Siemborski's employment is terminated

         The Corporation entered into a management agreement dated February 1,
1996 (the "Officer Agreement") with Robert D. Vilsack. The Officer Agreement
provides for Mr. Vilsack's employment until February 1, 1999, and automatic
extensions for successive one year terms thereafter, as General Counsel of the
Corporation. Either the Corporation or Mr. Vilsack may terminate the Officer
Agreement on February 1, 1999 or at the end of any successive one year term
thereafter. If Mr. Vilsack's employment is terminated due to his retirement or
death, his benefits will be determined in accordance with the Corporation's
retirement and benefit plans then in effect in which Mr. Vilsack is a
participant. In the event Mr. Vilsack becomes disabled, the Corporation may
terminate his employment, and Mr. Vilsack's benefits will be determined in
accordance with the Corporation's disability and other applicable plans then in
effect. If the Corporation terminates Mr. Vilsack's employment other than for
cause (as defined), the Corporation will continue to pay Mr. Vilsack his
monthly base salary then in effect, as well as his life insurance and health
care benefits (unless comparable benefits are provided by a subsequent
employer), for 12 full calendar months following the date of such termination.
In such an event, Mr. Vilsack will also be entitled to reimbursement for the
cost of out-placement services up to fifteen percent (15%) of his annual base
salary. In the event of any termination, the Corporation will be obligated to
pay when due all other benefits to which Mr. Vilsack has a vested right.

         The Corporation entered into a retention agreement dated March 22, 1996
(the "Officer Retention Agreement") with Mr. Vilsack until May 31, 1997. Unless
the Officer Retention Agreement is earlier terminated by Mr. Vilsack without
cause or by the Corporation based on Mr. Vilsack's death or disability or for
cause (as defined), the Officer Retention Agreement grants to Mr. Vilsack a
continued service bonus, as an incentive for Mr. Vilsack to remain an employee
of the Corporation, payable on the earlier of (i) the execution of an agreement
for a merger, consolidation, sale or divestiture of substantially all of the
assets of the Corporation, (ii) the termination by Mr. Vilsack of his
employment within three months of the Corporation making a significant negative
change in the nature or scope of his authorities, powers, functions or duties
(the earlier of (i) or (ii) being "Mr. Vilsack's Release Date"), or (iii) the
execution of an agreement for a merger, consolidation, sale or divestiture of
substantially all of the assets of any one of the Interstate Electronics,
Snorkel, Scott or Taylor Divisions of the Corporation and a corresponding
declaration by the Board of Directors of a dividend payable to stockholders. The
continued service bonus provides the right to purchase 2,550 shares of the
Corporation's common stock under the Restricted Stock Plan and immediate vesting
of all options previously granted to Mr. Vilsack pursuant to the Stock Option
Plan. On Mr. Vilsack's Release Date, if any, Mr. Vilsack will be entitled to an
additional service bonus consisting of: (i) a lump sum payment or monthly
payments in an amount equal to 12 full calendar months of Mr. Vilsack's salary
in effect on Mr. Vilsack's Release Date, (ii) a lump sum payment or monthly
payments, in an amount equal to 12 months of the monthly car allowance being
received by Mr. Vilsack on Mr. Vilsack's Release Date, (iii) a waiver of the
Corporation's right to repurchase shares previously purchased by Mr. Vilsack
pursuant to the Restricted Stock Plan, (iv) any then unpaid installments of
bonuses previously awarded to Mr. Vilsack pursuant to the Corporation's
Compensation Plan for Executives, and (v) such additional bonuses as the
Management Development-Compensation and Nominating Committee of the Board of
Directors may award to Mr. Vilsack with respect to his 1996 performance and his
contribution toward the successful completion of a merger, consolidation or the
sale of a part or all of the Corporation.

         The Corporation entered into a management agreement dated February 23,
1995 (the "Management Agreement") with Keith V. Mabee. The Management Agreement
provides for Mr. Mabee's employment until February 23, 1998, and automatic
extensions for successive one year terms thereafter, as Vice President-
Corporate Relations of the Corporation. Either the Corporation or Mr. Mabee may
terminate the Management Agreement on February 23, 1998 or at the end of any
successive one year term thereafter. If Mr. Mabee's employment is terminated
due to his retirement or death, his benefits will be determined in      
accordance with the Corporation's retirement and benefit plans then in effect
in which Mr. Mabee is a participant. In the event Mr. Mabee becomes disabled,
the Corporation may terminate his employment, and Mr. Mabee's benefits will be
determined in accordance with the Corporation's disability and other applicable
plans then in effect. If the Corporation terminates Mr. Mabee's employment
other than for cause (as defined), the Corporation will continue to pay Mr.
Mabee his monthly base salary then in effect, as well as his life insurance and
health care benefits (unless comparable benefits are provided by a subsequent
employer), for 24 full calendar months following the date of such termination.
In such an event, Mr. Mabee will also be entitled to reimbursement for the cost
of out placement services up to fifteen percent (15%) of his annual base
salary. In the event of any termination, the Corporation will be obligated to
pay when due all other benefits to which Mr. Mabee has a vested right.

         The Corporation entered into a retention agreement dated March 20, 1996
(the "Retention Agreement") with Mr. Mabee until May 31, 1997. Unless the
Retention Agreement is earlier terminated by Mr. Mabee without cause or by the
Corporation based on Mr. Mabee's death or disability or for cause (as defined),
the Retention Agreement grants to Mr. Mabee a continued service bonus, as an
incentive for Mr. Mabee to remain an employee of the Corporation,
payable on the earlier of (i) the execution of an agreement for a merger,
consolidation, sale or divestiture of substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation, (ii) the termination by Mr. Mabee of his employment within three
months of the Corporation making a significant negative change in the nature or
scope of his authorities, powers, functions or duties (the earlier of (i) or
(ii) being "Mr. Mabee's Release Date"), or (iii) the execution of an agreement
for a merger, consolidation, sale or divestiture of substantially all of the
assets of any one of the Interstate Electronics, Snorkel, Scott or Taylor
Divisions of the Corporation and a corresponding declaration by the Board of
Directors of a dividend payable to stockholders. The continued service bonus
provides the right to purchase 3,668 shares of the Corporation's common stock
under the Restricted Stock Plan and immediate vesting of all options previously
granted to Mr. Mabee pursuant to the Stock Option Plan. On Mr. Mabee's Release
Date, if any, Mr. Mabee will be entitled to an additional service bonus
consisting of: (i) a lump sum payment or monthly payments in an amount equal to
24 full calendar months of Mr. Mabee's salary in effect on Mr. Mabee's Release
Date, (ii) a lump sum payment or monthly payments, in an amount equal to 12
months of the monthly car allowance being received by Mr. Mabee on Mr. Mabee's
Release Date, (iii) a waiver of the Corporation's right to repurchase shares
previously purchased by Mr. Mabee pursuant to the Restricted Stock Plan, (iv)
any then unpaid installments of bonuses previously awarded to Mr. Mabee
pursuant to the Corporation's Compensation Plan for Executives, and (v) such
additional bonuses as the Management Development-Compensation and Nominating
Committee of the Board of Directors may award to Mr. Mabee with respect to his
1996 performance and his contribution toward the successful completion of a
merger, consolidation or the sale of a part or all of the Corporation.

         Mr. Mabee entered into a Separation Agreement on January 1997 under
which he received the compensation to which he was entitled under the
Management Agreement and the Retention Agreement.

         The Corporation entered into a management agreement dated April 28,
1995 (the "Agreement") with Luther A. Harthun. The Agreement, as amended on
January 31, 1996, provided for Mr. Harthun's continued employment until July 3,
1996 (unless mutually extended or terminated) as Senior Vice President -- Legal
and Secretary of the Corporation, at his current base salary on April 28,
1995, a guaranteed bonus for 1995 to be paid in 1996 of $80,000 and various

specified circumstances. Mr. Harthun retired on July 5, 1996.

         The Corporation entered into a retention agreement dated March 20, 1996
(the "Management Retention Agreement") with Mr. Harthun. As noted above, Mr.
Harthun retired on July 5, 1996. The Management Retention Agreement provided
similar benefits to those provided to Mr. Mabee in the Officer Retention Agree-
ment except that the periods for which such benefits were to be provided were
shorter.

John P. Reilly participating in an ex-officio and non-voting basis. After the

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
- --------  ----------------------------------------------

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

         In 1996, the Corporation loaned to Steven L. Siemborski, the
Corporation's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and a Director,
$430,000 with interest at the applicable Federal Rate of 5.32% in lieu of Mr.
Siemborski selling stock and using the proceeds to repay a loan he incurred in
order to pay federal income taxes resulting from his purchase of 75,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock in 1994 and 1995 pursuant to his Employment Contract.
The principal and interest on the loan are due on March 8, 1997, but the
Corporation has agreed to pay to Mr. Siemborski a bonus in an amount equal to
the accrued interest, grossed-up for all applicable taxes, provided that Mr.
Siemborski is not in default on the loan. As of April 9, 1997, the entire
$4320,000 plus accrued interest remains outstanding. In November 1996, the
Company paid withholding taxes owed by Mr. Siemborski upon his acquisition of
37,500 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to his Employment Contract.  Mr.
Siemborski reimbursed the Corporation for such payment in March 17, 1997.


         The Corporation entered into a management agreement dated December 9,
1994 (the "Director Agreement") with Glen W. Lindemann. The Director Agreement
provides for Mr. Lindemann's employment until December 9, 1997, and automatic
extensions for successive one year terms thereafter, as President of the Cor-
poration's Scott Aviation division. Either the Corporation or Mr. Lindemann may
terminate the Director Agreement on December 9, 1997 or at the end of any
successive one year term thereafter. If Mr. Lindemann's employment is terminated
due to his retirement or death, his benefits will be determined in accordance
with the Corporation's retirement and benefit plans then in effect in which Mr.
Lindemann is a participant. In the event Mr. Lindemann becomes disabled, the
Corporation may terminate his employment, and Mr. Lindemann's benefits will be
determined in accordance with the Corporation's disability and other applicable
plans then in effect. If the Corporation terminates Mr. Lindemann's employment
other than for cause (as defined), the Corporation will continue to pay Mr.
Lindemann his monthly base salary then in effect, as well as his life insurance
and health care benefits (unless comparable benefits are provided by a
subsequent employer), for 24 full calendar months following the date of such
termination. In such an event, Mr. Lindemann will also be entitled to
reimbursement for the cost of out placement services in an amount up to fifteen
percent (15%) of his annual base salary. In the event of any termination, the
Corporation will be obligated to pay when due all other benefits to which Mr.
Lindemann has a vested right.

         The Corporation entered into a retention agreement dated July 17, 1996
(the "Director Retention Agreement") with Glen W. Lindemann. Until the Director
Retention Agreement is terminated upon the earliest to occur of May 31, 1997,
Mr. Lindemann's death or disability, the completion of payouts under the
Director Retention Agreement, or the termination of Mr. Lindemann's employment,
unless the Corporation terminates his employment without cause (as defined), the
Director Retention Agreement grants to Mr. Lindemann a transaction bonus as an
incentive for Mr. Lindemann to remain an employee of the Corporation, payable
on the earlier of the Sale of the Corporation (as defined) or the Sale of the
Corporation's Scott Aviation division (the Business Unit, as defined). The
transaction bonus consists of a cash lump sum equal to: (i) two tenths of one
percent (0.2%) of the Net Proceeds (as defined) from the Sale of the Business
Unit or two tenths of one percent (0.2%) of the Net Proceeds of the Sale of the
Corporation which is allocable to the Business Unit; (ii) any then unpaid
installments of bonuses previously awarded to Mr. Lindemann pursuant

                                      17
<PAGE>   19


to the Corporation's Compensation Plan for Executives; and (iii) a pro-rata
bonus under the Corporation's Compensation Plan for Executives with respect to
the year in which the transaction bonus is awarded based upon Mr. Lindemann's
performance through the date of sale under the Scott Aviation business plan for
such year. In addition, the Director Retention Agreement provides for the
Corporation to indemnify Mr. Lindemann for any Excise Tax (as defined) and
related expenses in the event that Mr. Lindemann

         Certain transactions or relationships relating to the Corporation are
