NOTE 3 - CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF A CHANGE IN AN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

   In the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company adopted
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 112 (Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits).  The effect of initially
applying this Statement ($1,200,000 pre-tax, $780,000 after taxes,
1 cent per share) is reported as the cumulative effect of a change
in an accounting principle.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS.


I. Results of Operations:

A. Six months ended January 28, 1995 compared to the six months ended January
   29, 1994.

   Sales for the first six months of fiscal 1995 were up 13% from the comparable
period of the prior year.  Had foreign exchange rates been unchanged, sales
would have increased by 8%.
 
   The Company's pre-tax margin increased to 16.1% of sales in the first half of
1995 from 14.8% in the 1994 period.  A decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales to 38.8% in the 1995 period,
from 40.1% in the 1994 period, was the principal factor in the improved pre-tax
margin.

   The Company's effective tax rate increased to 30.0% in the first half of
fiscal 1995 from 28.0% in the first half of fiscal 1994, such increase resulting
mainly from reduced benefits of the Puerto Rico operations due to changes in the
U.S. tax laws.

   Prior to the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle, net
earnings for the first half of fiscal 1995 increased 20% to $39.8 million from
$33.1 million in the prior year period.

   In the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 112 (Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits).  The effect of initially applying this Statement ($1,200,000 pre-tax,
$780,000 after taxes, 1 cent per share) is reported as the cumulative effect of
a change in an accounting principle.


B. Quarter ended January 28, 1995 compared to the quarter ended January 29,
   1994.

   Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased 13 1/2% over the second
quarter of fiscal 1994.  Had foreign exchange rates not changed, sales would
have increased by 8%.

   The Company's pre-tax margin increased to 19.6% in the second quarter of
fiscal 1995, from 18.0% in the comparable period of the prior year.  The
increase resulted from the same factor mentioned in the six-month discussion
above.
 
                                    
<PAGE>   8

   The Company's effective tax rate increased to 30.0% in the second quarter of
fiscal 1995 from 28.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 1994, for the same reason
mentioned in the six-month discussion above.

   Net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased 20% to $26.5
million from $22.0 million in the prior year period.


II. Liquidity and Capital Resources:

   The Company's working capital increased by $5.0 million during the first six
months of fiscal 1995.  Had foreign exchange rates not changed from July 30,
1994, working capital would have increased by $2.4 million.

   Capital expenditures totalled $32.1 million, and depreciation expense
totalled $20.4 million, in the six months ended January 28, 1995.

   On January 9, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a program to
repurchase shares of its common stock.  The Board authorized the expenditure of
up to $50 million, and this program is ongoing.  No shares were repurchased
during the six months ended January 28, 1995.

   On November 15, 1994, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement
to acquire Filtron Technology Corporation for a price of $27.65 million
(consisting of $2.8 million in cash and 1.28 million shares of Company common
stock).  This transaction, which will be accounted for as a purchase, was 
completed at the end of January 1995.
