3.   RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

     On January 5, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
     restructuring program with the objective of focusing the Company's
     resources on its core product lines and reducing debt.  In connection
     with the program, the Company has identified certain businesses for
     potential divestiture.  Aggregate sales of these businesses
     represented approximately 29 percent of the Company's total sales
     volume for fiscal 1993.  Estimated proceeds from the sale of certain
     of these businesses are less than the current book value of those
     respective businesses.  As a result, the Company has recorded a charge
     to income of approximately $27,300.  This amount is included under
     "Restructuring and other charges" in the accompanying Condensed
     Consolidated Statements of Operations.  While the Company believes it
     will be able to sell all of the identified candidates for divesture at
     prices acceptable to the Company, if such prices are not obtained the
     Company may elect to retain certain of these businesses for an
     indefinite period.  As a result, the Company will classify the results
     of these businesses as continuing operations until any related sale is
     consummated.


<PAGE>

     The Company has also undertaken a review of its core product lines
     with the objective of developing actions to reduce costs and improve
     future profitability.  The Company has identified a substantial amount
     of excess capacity and potentially obsolete or excess inventory levels
     related to the Company's electronic ballast product line.  Estimated
     exposure to these issues is based upon current and projected demand
     and production rates for this product line primarily over the next 24
     months.  The Company also plans to relocate and consolidate a number
     of administrative functions in connection with its overall
     restructuring program.  As a result of the review and restructuring
     program, the Company recorded charges to income of approximately
     $26,500 related to the electronic ballast product line, including
     approximately $12,400 related to potentially excess and obsolete
     inventory and approximately $14,100 related to excess capacity,
     severance and other issues.  The Company has also recorded a charge of
     approximately $4,800 related primarily to anticipated severance and
     relocation costs associated with the planned consolidation of
     administrative functions.  These amounts are included under
     "Restructuring and other charges" in the accompanying Condensed
     Consolidated Statements of Operations.

     Of the approximately $58,600 total "Restructuring and other charges"
     as detailed above and recorded during the second quarter of fiscal
     1994, approximately $47,900 represent a noncash write-off of recorded
     assets and $10,700 relate to actions which will require future cash
     outflows, primarily over the next 6 to 12 months.

4.   LONG-TERM DEBT AND BANK BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS

     Primarily as a result of the Restructuring and other charges referred
     to in Note 3 and recorded during fiscal 1994 and recent operating
     results, the Company violated certain financial covenants included in
     its Revolving Credit and Senior Note Agreements.  Effective March 31,
     1994, the Company amended both Agreements to adjust the financial
     covenants prospectively based upon a review of expected future
     operating performance.  As a result of these amendments, the interest
     rate on borrowings under both the Revolving Credit and Senior Note
     Agreements was increased by one-quarter percent.  The interest rate on
     borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement will be reduced to
     prior levels upon the achievement of specified leverage ratios.  All
     other terms and provisions of both Agreements remain substantially
     unchanged.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

     THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 VS. 1993 -- Net sales.  Total net
     sales decreased 3% to $374.2 million in the three months ended March
     31, 1994, from $385.7 million in the corresponding period in the prior
     fiscal year.  Net sales in the Ballasts and Transformers segment
     decreased 10% due primarily to lower sales of electronic lighting
     ballasts, small transformer products in Europe and medium power
     transformers, partially offset by increased sales of power supplies in
     Europe.  Net sales in the Motors and Controls segment increased 5% due
     primarily to increased sales of fractional horsepower motors and
     electronic adjustable speed drives, partially offset by lower sales of
     large custom motors and airport systems equipment.

     Gross profit.  Gross profit decreased 16% to $75.1 million (20.1% of
     net sales) in the three months ended March 31, 1994 from 88.9 million
     (23.0% of net sales) in the three months ended March 31, 1993.  Gross
     profit decreased due to lower margins in the electronic ballast
     business due to lower sales and increased fixed costs associated with
     capacity increases implemented in the prior fiscal year; lower sales
     and margins in the medium power transformer and utility service
     businesses due to lower selling prices; and lower margins in the large
     custom motor business partially offset by higher margins in fractional
     horsepower motors.

     Income from operations.  Income from operations decreased 46% to $16.4
     million (4.4% of net sales) in the three months ended March 31, 1994
     from 30.1 million (7.8% of net sales) in the corresponding period in
     the prior fiscal year.  Income from operations in the Ballasts and
     Transformers segment was $7.3 million (3.8% of net sales) vs. $20.0
     million (9.4% of net sales) due primarily to lower income in
     electronic ballasts and the transformer product lines indicated above.
     Income from operations in the Motors and Controls segment was $9.1
     million (5.0% of net sales) vs. $10.1 million (5.8% of net sales) due
     to lower income in utility service and large custom motor business,
     partially offset by higher income in fractional horsepower motors.

     Interest expense.  Interest expense decreased 4% to $11.9 million in
     the three months ended March 31, 1994 from $12.5 million in the
     corresponding period in the prior fiscal year.  The decrease was due
     to lower variable interest rates, primarily related to the Company's
     European borrowings.

     Income before taxes and net income.  Income before taxes was $2.9
     million in the three months ended March 31, 1994 compared to $15.1
     million in the three months ended March 31, 1993.  Net income was $1.7
     million compared to $8.9 million. The effective income tax rate was
     42% in the 1994 period vs. 41% in the 1993 period due to a higher
     federal income tax rate.

ITEM 2 (continued)



     NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 VS. 1993 -- Net sales.  Total net
     sales increased 1% to $1.10 billion in the nine months ended March 31,
     1994, from $1.09 billion in the corresponding period in the prior
     fiscal year.  As a result of the Company's use of a fifty-two, fifty-
     three week fiscal year, the first nine months of fiscal 1994 contained
     forty weeks compared to thirty-nine weeks in the first nine months of
     1993.  The increase in total net sales was due to the additional week
     of sales in the fiscal 1994 period as well as the inclusion of the
     results of a power conversion business acquired in the second quarter
     of the prior fiscal year.  On a proforma basis, excluding the effect
     of these items, total net sales in the fiscal 1994 period were 1%
     lower than to net sales in the fiscal 1993 period.  Net sales in the
     Ballasts and Transformers segment decreased 8% due primarily to the
     lower  sales of electronic lighting ballasts, small transformer
     products in Europe and medium power transformers, partially offset by
     increased sales of magnetic lighting ballasts. Net sales in the Motors
     and Controls segment increased 12% due primarily to increased sales of
     fractional horsepower motors and electronic adjustable speed drives,
     partially offset by lower sales of large custom motors.

     Gross profit.   Gross profit decreased 14% to $218.7 million (19.8% of
     net sales) in the nine months ended March 31, 1994, from $254.1
     million (23.2% of net sales) in the nine months ended March 31, 1993.
     Gross profit decreased due primarily to lower margins in the
     electronic ballast business due to lower sales and increased fixed
     costs associated with capacity increases implemented in the prior
     fiscal year; lower margins in the medium power transformer and utility
     service businesses due to lower sales prices; and lower margins in
     large custom motors due to lower sales volume, partially offset by
     higher margins in fractional horsepower motor product lines.

     Income (loss) from operations.   For the nine months ended March 31,
     1994, the Company recorded a loss from operations of $15.4 million
     compared to income of $83.7 million in the corresponding period in the
     prior fiscal year. The loss from operations in the Ballasts and
     Transformers segment was $14.9 million compared to income of $51.9
     million due primarily to Restructuring and other charges of $32.8
     million recorded in the fiscal 1994 period, as a result of a
     restructuring program approved by the Company's Board of Directors and
     a review of inventory and capacity issues in the electronic ballast
     business (see Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
     Statements). In addition to these charges, the loss from operations
     was impacted by lower income in the electronic ballast business and
     the medium power transformer business as well as an operating loss in
     the domestic power supply business.  In the Motors and Controls
     business, a loss from operations of $0.5 million was recorded in the
     nine months ended March 31, 1994, compared to income from operations
     of $31.8 million in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year,
     due to Restructuring and other charges of $25.8 million recorded in
     the fiscal 1994 period.

ITEM 2 (continued)


     The loss from operations was also impacted by lower income from
     operations in utility repair services, large custom motors and control
     products, partially offset by higher income from operations in
     fractional horsepower motor and electronic drive product lines.

     Interest expense.  Interest expense was comparable at $35.7 million in
     the nine months ended March 31, 1994, vs $35.9 million in the
     corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. On a pro forma basis
     excluding the additional week of interest expense in the fiscal 1994
     period, interest expense decreased 2% due to interest income from the
     Company's investment in an annuity contract and lower variable
     borrowing rates in Europe.

     Income (loss) before taxes and Net loss.  The Company recorded a loss
     before income taxes of $53.8 million in the nine months ended March
     31, 1994 compared to income before taxes of $40.6 million in the nine
     months ended March 31, 1993.  The loss before cumulative effect of
     accounting changes was $39.4 million in the fiscal 1994 period
     compared to income before cumulative effect of accounting changes of
     $23.9 million in fiscal 1993.  Net loss was $39.4 million compared to
     net loss of $24.8 million.  The fiscal 1993 period reflects charges to
     income aggregating $48.7 million reflecting the cumulative effect of
     changes in accounting for postretirement welfare benefits and income
     taxes.  The income tax benefit in the fiscal 1994 period was recorded
     at 27% compared to a statutory rate of approximately 40%, reflecting a
     valuation allowance provided against the Company's net deferred tax
     asset position.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

     The Company believes that internally generated funds and available
     credit facilities will provide sufficient capital resources to finance
     operations, fund planned capital expenditures and pay interest and
     scheduled maturity payments on outstanding debt.  The Company recorded
     approximately $58.6 million of Restructuring and other charges in the
     nine-month period ended March 31, 1994 (see note 3 of Notes to
     Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).  Of the $58.6 million,
     approximately $10.7 million represents anticipated future cash
     outflows, primarily over the next 6 to 12 months, from actions
     associated with the planned restructuring program.  However, the
     Company also expects to generate substantial cash, primarily during
     the same period, from anticipated divestitures associated with the
     program. Cash generated from the restructuring program will be used
     primarily to repay outstanding debt.

     As of March 31, 1994, the Company had available borrowing capacity of
     approximately $45 million under bank credit facilities. During the
     second quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company amended certain financial
     covenants under its Revolving Credit Agreement based upon projected
     operating results.  Primarily as a result of the announced
     restructuring program and related charges recorded during the current
     fiscal year, the Company violated certain financial covenants in the
     Revolving Credit and Senior Note Agreements.  Effective March 31, 1994
     the Company amended the revolving Credit and Senior Note Agreements to
     reflect revised financial covenants (see Note 4 of Notes to Condensed
     Consolidated Financial Statements).
