NOTE C -- LONG-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
- - - - - ------------------------------------------------

On December 29, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with a
commercial bank to provide replacement financing of its existing
credit line and term loan.  The replacement financing consists of a 
$20 million revolving line of credit and a $9 million term loan.  The
balance sheet as of December 25, 1993 has been adjusted to reflect the
replacement financing.  The difference between amounts paid to retire
the existing indebtedness and the related carrying amounts,
principally the unamortized balance of debt issue costs and early
payment penalties which totalled $275,985, net of an income tax 
benefit of $169,000, has been reflected as an extraordinary charge in
the accompanying statements of income.

PART I.

Item 2.

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

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 was
$69,226, compared to net income for the second quarter of
fiscal 1994 of $217,500.  During the prior year's second
quarter, the Company refinanced its existing debt
obligations and recorded an extraordinary charge to income
of $275,985 (net of a tax benefit of $169,000).  This amount
included the write-off of the unamortized portion of
deferred financing costs and charges for the early
termination of debt that was refinanced.  Net income for the
first six months of fiscal 1995 was $613,266, compared to
net income for the comparable period in fiscal 1994 of
$719,090.  The decline in net income in the second quarter
and the first six months of the current year is primarily
due to a substantial increase in selling expenses, an
increase in net interest expense and a slight decline in
gross margin.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 were
$29,162,915, an increase of 12.8% over net sales generated
in the second quarter of fiscal 1994.  Net sales for the
first six months of fiscal 1995 were $61,980,526, a 13.3%
increase over the same period in the prior fiscal year. Unit
sales increased 6.8% and 3.3%, respectively, in the second
quarter and the first six months of fiscal 1995 over the
comparable periods last fiscal year.  These increases in
unit sales are primarily attributable to the fact that the
second quarter of the current fiscal year contains 14 weeks
versus 13 weeks.

The net sales increase in excess of the unit sales increase
is primarily attributable to the mix of products sold,
particularly, the demand for higher-priced, newer
applications within the electrical product line.  The demand
for certain electrical products in the first quarter of both
fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994 was enhanced by higher failure
rates due to warm weather conditions.  Unit sales during the
second quarter of fiscal 1995 were adversely impacted by the
mild winter experienced throughout most of the country.
Because automotive parts have lower failure rates in mild
weather conditions, demand for many of the Company's
products fell in the second quarter of the current fiscal
year.

The gross margin percentages reported in the current fiscal
year, both for the second quarter and for the first six
months, have declined from the prior fiscal year.  The gross
margin percentage for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 was
24.3%, compared to the gross margin percentage for the

                            Page 9
<PAGE>
second quarter of fiscal 1994 of 25.4%.  Year to date, the
gross margin percentage was 23.8%, compared to 24.5% for the
comparable period last year.  The declines in margin in the
first and the second quarter of the current fiscal year are
due primarily to a shift of sales to products that generate
lower gross margins.  It should be noted that the gross
margin generated in the second quarter of the current fiscal
year of 24.3% has improved from the gross margin percentage
generated in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 of 23.5%.  The
first quarter of the current fiscal year was adversely
affected by manufacturing inefficiencies related primarily
to material sourcing in the production of certain products
which experienced unusually heavy demand.  During the second
quarter, the Company focused on improving its purchasing and
material sourcing practices.  This resulted in reduced
spending levels and a more balanced inventory, defined as
having the proper proportions of component parts with which
to make a completed product.  These efforts were a
contributing factor in the margin improvement over the first
quarter and the reduced inventory levels from the end of the
first quarter.  The Company will continue to review its
purchasing and sourcing practices on an ongoing basis.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second
quarter of fiscal 1995 of $6,459,094, or 22.1% of net sales,
increased over similar expenses of $5,363,576, or 20.8% of
net sales, in the comparable period in fiscal 1994.
Similarly, for the six months ended December 31, 1994,
selling, general and administrative expenses of $12,839,433,
or 20.7% of net sales, increased from a spending level of
$10,968,224, or 20.0% of net sales, in the prior fiscal
year.  During the first six months of the current fiscal
year, the Company experienced increased customer acquisition
costs of approximately $680,000, of which $245,000 was
incurred in the second quarter.  These expenses were
incurred to obtain additional market penetration.  It is
anticipated that sales will be enhanced from these efforts.
The Company anticipates that business acquisition costs will
continue, but it is not expected that they will continue at
the level that has been experienced in the first six months
of the current fiscal year.  Also during the current fiscal
year, the Company invested in the development of a new
marketing program which resulted in additional expenses of
$216,000, of which $136,000 was incurred in the second
quarter.  The roll out of this program, which is expected to
be met with enthusiasim in the marketplace, is scheduled for
late April, 1995.

Net interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal 1995
was $503,580, an increase of $94,215, or 18.7% over the same
period in fiscal 1994.  On a year to date basis, net
interest expense increased $134,033, or 16.5%.  The
additional expense is due to the increase in the Company's
borrowing rate that is tied to the prime lending rate which
continues to rise, as well as increased borrowings on the
Company's bank debt.

                        Page 10
<PAGE>
During the first six months of the fiscal year, cash
provided by net income and by a reduction in inventory
levels was supplemented by an increase in borrowings on the
revolving line of credit.  These additional borrowings were
used to support an increase in accounts receivable, a
decline in trade payables and accrued liabilities, the
reduction of long-term debt and investment in capital
equipment.  The increase in accounts receivable is a
reflection of increased sales.  The decline in trade
payables and accrued liabilities are the result of the
Company's efforts to reduce purchasing of goods and expedite
payment of trade payables to take advantage of cash discount
opportunities.  The investment in capital expenditures is
primarily related to the successful implementation of a new
degreasing system at our Spartanburg, South Carolina plant.
As noted in management's discussion in the Company's 1994
Annual Report, the replacement cost of the Company's
degreasing systems will approximate $1,900,000.  Additional
capital expenditures will be incurred in the next six months
to complete the project.  It is anticipated that cash
generated from operations combined  with existing financing
will be adequate to provide for the Company's cash
requirements for fiscal 1995.
