           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The financial statements have been prepared from the
unaudited financial records of the Company.  In the opinion of
management, the financial statements include all adjustments
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of operations and financial
position for the interim periods.

Note 2 - Marketable Securities:

     Marketable securities consist of U.S. Government securities,
tax-free municipal securities and municipal fund par value
preferred shares and are classified as trading securities. 
Certain amounts for 1993 have been reclassified to conform to the
1994 classification.

Note 3 - Inventories:

     Inventories consist of the following: 

                              March 31,      December 31,

Note 4 - Net Income per Share:

     Primary net income per share is computed using the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period.  In
computing fully diluted earnings per share, the conversion of the
Company's 10% Convertible Subordinated Notes is also assumed
except when the effect of the conversion is anti-dilutive. 
Shares used to compute net income per share data are as follows:

Note 5 - Contingencies

     A chemical cleaning compound, trichlorethylene ("TCE"), has
been found in the soil and groundwater on the Company's property
in Elkhart, Indiana, and in 1981, TCE was found in a well field
of the City of Elkhart in close proximity to the Company's
facility.  The Company has been named as one of nine potentially
responsible parties (PRPs) in the contamination of this site.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the
Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) have
conducted a preliminary investigation and evaluation of the site
and have undertaken temporary remedial action in the nature of
air-stripping towers. 

In early 1992, the EPA issued a Unilateral Order under Section
106 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act which required the Company and other PRPs to
undertake remedial work.  The Company and the other PRPs have
reached an agreement regarding the funding of groundwater
monitoring and the operation of the air-strippers as required by
the Unilateral Order.  The Company was required to install and
operate a soil vapor extraction system to remove TCE from the
Company's property.  As of February 1, 1994, the Company has
installed and is operating the equipment pursuant to the
Unilateral Order.  In addition, the EPA and IDEM have asserted a
claim for reimbursement of their investigatory costs and the
costs of installing and operating the air-strippers on the
municipal well field (the EPA Costs).  On February 22, 1993, the
United States filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court
for the Norther District of Indiana against eight of the PRPs,
including the Company.  On July 20,1993, IDEM joined in the
lawsuit.  The lawsuit seeks recovery of the costs of enforcement,
prejudgment interest and an amount in excess of $6.8 million,
which represents costs incurred to date by the EPA and IDEM, and
a declaration that the eight defendant PRPs are liable for any
future costs incurred by the EPA and IDEM in connection with the
site.

The Company does not believe the annual cost to the Company of
monitoring groundwater and operating the soil vapor extraction
system and the air-strippers will be material.  Each of the PRPs,
including the Company, is jointly and severally liable for the
entire amount of the EPA Costs.  Certain PRPs, including the
Company, are currently attempting to negotiate an agreed upon
allocation of such liability.  The Company believes that adequate
provisions have been recorded for its costs and its anticipated
share of EPA Costs and that its cash on hand, unused lines of
credit or cash from operations are sufficient to fund any
required expenditures.


The EPA has also named the Company as a PRP for costs at three
other disposal sites.  It has also asked the Company for
information about contamination at other sites.  The Company
believes it either has no liability as a responsible party or
that adequate provisions have been recorded for any costs to be
incurred.

There are claims and pending legal proceedings against the
Company and its subsidiaries with respect to taxes, workers'
compensation, warranties and other matters arising out of the
ordinary conduct of the business.  The ultimate result of these
claims and proceedings at March 31, 1994 is not determinable,
but, in the opinion of management, adequate provision for
anticipated costs has been made or insurance coverage exists to
cover such costs.

Note 6 - Share Ownership

On March 24, 1994, Ford Motor Company and Ford Motor Company Fund
disposed of their combined 24% ownership in the Company through a
secondary public offering.

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


MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION:

Cash flow from operations totalled $2.3 million.  Investment in
receivables and inventories increased $16.3 million due to higher
level of sales.  This increase was partially offset by an
increase of $9.3 million in trade accounts payable and accruals. 
Capital expenditures in the first quarter totalled $5.6 million
and the capital expenditure budget for the year totals $18
million.

The Company received $7.1 million for the sale of common shares. 
Cash and short-term marketable securities amounted to $49.5
million at March 31, 1994, an increase of $2.9 million from
December 31, 1993.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 COMPARED TO
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1993

Sales in the first quarter of 1994 increased 19% or $24.6 million
to $151.9 million from the $127.3 million in 1993.  The increased
sales occurred primarily in automotive original equipment
products as production and sales of light vehicles in North
America remained strong.  Overall first quarter production of
light vehicles totalled approximately 3.7 million units, an
increase of 12% over the year ago first quarter.

Gross profit was $16.5 million in the current quarter or 10.9% of
sales and compares with gross profit of $14.3 million or 11.2% of
sales in the first quarter of 1993.  The increase in gross profit
in the quarter is due to the increase sales.  The decline in
gross profit as a percent of sales results primarily from a
shortfall of cost reductions against productivity commitments and
a change in product mix.

Selling, administrative and engineering expenses totalled $7.8
million in the first quarter which was comparable with the $7.9
million in the 1993 first quarter.  Offsetting a reduction in the
provision for doubtful accounts and increased compensation costs
were increased personnel costs for research, engineering and
development.

Interest expense totaled $839,000 in 1994 and compares with
$914,000 in the year ago first quarter.

Other income of $341,000 which is primarily interest income on
marketable debt securities compares to $202,000 in the 1993 first
quarter.

Provision for taxes on income was at an effective rate of 37% as
compared to 40% in 1993.  The decline in the overall effective
rate results from reduction in effective state rates.<PAGE>
