     On June 12, 1986, the Company issued $35,000,000 principal amount of 7.25%
     convertible subordinated debentures maturing on June 15, 2006 with
     interest payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. 
     The debentures were unsecured, subordinated to bank loans payable and
     other long-term debt and were convertible at any time prior to maturity,
     or earlier redemption, into shares of the Company's common stock at $20.70
     per share.  The Company had the option to redeem the debentures at
     specified prices, plus accrued interest.  On April 5, 1994, the Company
     announced that it had elected to redeem the debentures on May 31, 1994. 
     (Prior to that announcement, during the 1991 fiscal year, the Company had
     repurchased, in the open market, an aggregate of $1,602,000 principal
     amount of debentures.)  The redemption price was $1,021.75, plus accrued
     interest through the redemption date, for each $1,000 principal amount. 
     A $1,000 principal amount debenture was convertible into 48.31 shares of
     the Company's common stock at any time prior to the close of business on
     May 27, 1994.  On or before May 27, 1994, $33,381,000 principal amount of 
     debentures had been converted into 1,612,558 shares of the Company's
     common stock.  The remaining $17,000 principal amount of debentures not
     converted into common stock were redeemed on May 31, 1994.  The $720,000
     unamortized balance of deferred issuance costs incurred in connection with
     this financing was transferred to additional paid-in capital.

     As a result of the conversion and redemption of the debentures, virtually
     all of the Company's long term debt and associated interest expense has
     been eliminated.  Furthermore, $515,000 (net of taxes) of accrued interest
     expense and costs related to the conversion of these Debentures has been
     reclassified to additional paid-in capital during the current fiscal
     year's first quarter.

4.   SUPPLEMENTARY EARNINGS PER SHARE DATA

     During the quarter ended May 29, 1994, the Company issued 1,586,184 shares
     of common stock upon the conversion of $32,835,000 principal amount
     debentures.  Supplementary earnings per share for the quarter ended May
     29, 1994 of $.70 per share reflects the earnings per share that would have
     resulted if the conversion of these shares had occurred at the beginning
     of the period.

Item 2.

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


Results of Operations

      During the Company's current fiscal year's first quarter ended May 29,
1994, sales increased 28% to $62,769,000 from $49,229,000 during last year's
first quarter.  In addition, operating profit increased 230% to $5,776,000
for the current fiscal year's first quarter from $1,750,000 for last year's
first quarter.  During the current fiscal year's first quarter, the
Company's electronics segment accounted for $54,499,000 in sales or 87% of
the Company's total sales worldwide.  Electronics sales increased 31% during
this fiscal year's first quarter from last year's first quarter electronics
sales of $41,610,000.  The Company's foreign operations, which are dedicated
almost exclusively to the electronics segment, accounted for $14,525,000 in
sales or 23% of total sales worldwide during the first quarter.  Foreign
sales during this fiscal year's first quarter increased 31% from last year's
first quarter's foreign sales of $11,096,000.  Due to the relative size of
the Company's plumbing hardware segment and industrial components segment
and the fact that these segments have been placed under common management,
the Company has decided to combine these two segments into one business
segment for financial reporting purposes effective at the beginning of the
current fiscal year.  This new combined business segment is called the
plumbing and industrial component segment.  The total sales of this combined
segment during the current year's first quarter amounted to $8,270,000, or
13% of the Company's total worldwide sales, compared to $7,619,000, or 15%
of total worldwide sales for the same period last year.  The sales of the
plumbing and industrial component segment increased 9% compared to the same
period last year.

      The gross profit percentage for the Company's worldwide operations was
21.1% for the current fiscal year's first quarter, as compared to 16.3% for
the prior year's first quarter.  

      The Company's better overall performance for the first quarter was
primarily attributable to the improvement in the Company's United States
based electronics business.  

      The Company's electronic segment continued to improve on the strength
of the U.S. based operations.  This group has been successful in offsetting
the downward pricing pressure in the U.S. through increased volume and
improved efficiency in the utilization of plant and equipment, materials and
other resources.  In contrast, the Company's foreign based electronic
operations have not been able to alleviate the impact of similar pricing
pressure on those operations.  The Company is continuing its investment in
the expansion of its manufacturing capacity and capabilities in the Far
East, as well as the expansion of its Arizona and New York facilities.

      As mentioned above, the Company's non-electronic businesses have been
combined into one segment for financial reporting purposes, namely the
plumbing and industrial components segment.  Prior to the current fiscal
year, these businesses had been reported as two segments, each of which
would currently represent less than 10% of the Company's sales, earnings and
assets.  These businesses have recently been placed under common, central
management.  This new combined plumbing and industrial components segment is
comprised of the Company's plumbing hardware, advanced composite and
industrial adhesive tape businesses.

      The Company's plumbing hardware business had disappointing results
during the first quarter.  Two significant long-term contracts were entered
into by the plumbing hardware business during the first quarter, and these
contracts have substantially increased this business' potential markets. 
However, the impact of these new contracts will not begin to be felt until
the third quarter.  A new management team has recently been put in place at
the Company's advanced composite business, and this business is responding
to the management change.  The industrial adhesive tape business continued
to perform well during the first quarter.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses, measured as a percentage
of sales, were 11.9% during the current fiscal year's first quarter, as
compared to 12.8% during the prior fiscal year's first quarter. 

      Interest expense was $412,000 for the current fiscal year's first
quarter, as compared to $599,000 during the prior fiscal year's first
quarter.  The Company elected to redeem it's 7 1/4% Convertible Debentures
during the quarter.  As a result, all but $17,000 principal amount of the
Debentures outstanding at the beginning of the quarter were converted into
the Company's common stock.  The reduction in interest expense was the
result of the reduction in the amount of Debentures outstanding during the
quarter due to conversions.  These conversions eliminated practically all of
the Company's long-term debt.  Investment income, which is included in other
income, was $323,000 for the current quarter, compared to $249,000 in the
prior year's first quarter.  This 30% increase in investment income was
primarily due to the increase in cash available for investment during the
current quarter compared to the same period last year.  Income of $139,000
arising from the mandatory revaluation of marketable securities was included
in other income during the quarter.  This resulted from the adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", during this quarter.  The
Company's cash reserves continue to be invested primarily in short term
taxable instruments and government securities.  

      The Company's effective income tax rate for the current fiscal year's
first quarter was 37%, compared to 36% for the prior fiscal year's first
quarter.  

      During the current fiscal year's first quarter, the Company's net
earnings increased 311% to $3,670,000 from $892,000 during the prior fiscal
year's first quarter.  Primary earnings per share increased 255% to $.78 for
the current year's first quarter from $.22 for the prior year's first
quarter.  Fully diluted earnings per share increased 209% for the current
year's first quarter to $.68 from $.22 for the prior year's first quarter. 
This increase in net earnings is primarily attributable to the improved
operating profit of the United States electronics operations.  As a result
of the call for redemption mentioned above, $32,835,000 of the Company's
Debentures were converted into 1,586,184 shares of the Company's common
stock during the first quarter.  The remaining $17,000 of Debentures were
repaid.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At May 29, 1994, the Company's cash and temporary investments amounted
to $41,326,000, as compared to $38,053,000 at February 27, 1994, the end of
the Company's last fiscal year.  The increase in the Company's cash and
investment position is attributable to several factors, including cash
generated from operations.  The Company's working capital position was
$48,785,000 at May 29, 1994, as compared to $45,867,000 at February 27,
1994.  The Company's current ratio, or the ratio of current assets to
current liabilities, was 2.2 to 1 at May 29, 1994, compared to 2.1 to 1 at
February 27, 1994.

      On April 5, 1994, the Company announced that it had elected to redeem
its 7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures on May 31, 1994.  The
redemption price was $1,021.75, plus accrued interest through the redemption
date, for each $1,000 principal amount.  A $1,000 principal amount Debenture
was convertible into 48.31 shares of the Company's common stock at any time
prior to the close of business on May 27, 1994.  $33,381,000 principal
amount of Debentures were converted into 1,612,558 shares of the Company's
common stock on or before May 27, 1994.  The remaining $17,000 of Debentures
were repaid on May 31, 1994, the redemption date.  As a result, virtually
all of the Company's long-term debt was eliminated, along with the debt
service costs associated therewith.

      During the current fiscal year's first quarter, the Company generated
$7,155,000 of funds from operations and expended $3,484,000 for the purchase
of property, plant and equipment.  The Company believes its financial
resources will be sufficient, for the foreseeable future, to provide for
continued investment in property, plant and equipment and for general
corporate purposes.  Such resources are also available for appropriate
acquisitions and other expansions of the Company's business.
