1.   CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 28,
      1993, the consolidated statements of earnings for the 13 weeks
      and 39 weeks ended November 28, 1993 and November 29, 1992, and
      the consolidated statements of cash flows for the 39 week
      periods then ended have been prepared by the Company, without
      audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which
      include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
      fairly the financial position at November 28, 1993, and the
      results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented
      have been made.

      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
      that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
      conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
      in the Company's Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on
      Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1993.

3.    INCOME TAXES

      Effective March 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
      for Income Taxes", which requires increased recording of deferred
      income tax assets.  As a result, the Company recorded additional
      deferred income tax assets, included in other assets, of $30,000,
      after a valuation allowance of $961,000.  The cumulative effect of the
      accounting change is not material to the results of operations of the
      Company.

4.    RESTATEMENTS

      On September 20, 1993, the Company announced that its internal
      accounting staff had recently uncovered financial and accounting
      errors and irregularities at FiberCote Industries, Inc. ("FiberCote"),
      its 80% owned advanced composites subsidiary.  On the basis of the
      Company's investigation, the Company determined to restate the
      previously reported results for certain prior periods in order to
      reverse the effect of these financial and accounting irregularities
      and errors.  These reversals primarily involved the write-off of the
      improperly recorded receivables and the recognition of previously
      unrecorded liabilities at FiberCote.  The results for the following
      prior periods ended November 29, 1992 have been restated to reverse
      the overstatements of net earnings in those periods in the following
      amounts:

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 third quarter ended
November 28, 1993, sales increased 23% to $54,063,000 from
$43,801,000 during last year's third quarter.  Sales for the nine
month period ended November 28, 1993 increased 15% to $150,610,000
from $131,070,000 for last fiscal year's comparable period. 
Operating profits increased 515% to $3,787,000 for the current
fiscal year's third quarter from $616,000 for last year's third
quarter.  During the nine month period ended November 28, 1993,
operating profit increased 230% to $8,246,000 from $2,499,000 during
last fiscal year's comparable period.  During the current fiscal
year's third quarter, the Company continued its emphasis on its
electronics segment, which accounted for $47,764,000 in sales or 88%
of the Company's total sales worldwide.  The Company's foreign
operations, which are dedicated almost exclusively to the
electronics segment, accounted for $11,927,000 in sales or 22% of
total sales worldwide during this quarter.  Foreign sales during
this fiscal year's third quarter increased 4% from last year's third
quarter's foreign sales of $11,476,000.  Fiscal third quarter sales
of the plumbing hardware segment decreased by 2% to $4,310,000 from
$4,399,000 during last year's third quarter.  Fiscal third quarter
sales in the industrial components segment were $1,989,000, as
compared to $2,257,000 during last year's third quarter.

      The gross margin percentage for the Company's worldwide
operations was 19.2% during the current fiscal year's third quarter,
as compared to last year's third quarter gross margin percentage of
14.3%.  The gross margin percentage for the current fiscal year's
first nine months was 18.1%, as compared to 14.7% for last fiscal
year's comparable period.

      The improved results for the third quarter were predominantly
due to the performance of the Company's United States based
electronics operations described below.

      During the third quarter of the current fiscal year the
performance of the electronics segment continued to improve,
principally as the result of improvements in the Company's United
States based electronics operations.  However, this improvement was
more attributable to increased sales volumes and enhanced operating
and manufacturing efficiencies, rather than to improved pricing. 
Pricing pressure has not yet abated, even in the United States
markets.  The extreme weakness in the European printed circuit
manufacturing industry persisted during the third quarter of the  
current fiscal year, and there was no relief during the quarter for
the Company's European electronics operations.  The Company's Far
East based electronics operation, which serves the printed circuit
markets in that region, was somewhat disappointing during the third
quarter.

      The Company's plumbing hardware segment continued to struggle
during the quarter.  A sustained recovery in domestic housing
starts, and particularly multi-family housing starts, is expected to
have a favorable impact on the plumbing hardware segment.  This
segment's performance should improve on this basis during the fourth
quarter and into next year.  


                                 -8-

      The Company's industrial components segment consists
principally of its advanced composite and industrial adhesive tape
businesses.  The advanced composite business continues to suffer as
the result of slow-downs and cut-backs in the military and aerospace
markets it serves.  The industrial adhesive tape business performed
reasonably well during the third quarter.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses, measured as a
percentage of sales, were 12.2% during the current fiscal year's
third quarter, as compared to 12.9% during the prior fiscal year's
third quarter.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were
12.7% during the current fiscal year's first nine month period, as
compared to 12.8% during the last fiscal year's comparable period.
  
      Interest expense for the current fiscal year's third quarter
was $606,000, as compared to $552,000 during the prior fiscal year's
third quarter.  During the nine month period ended November 28,
1993, interest expense was $1,846,000, as compared to $1,865,000
during last year's comparable period.  These expenses represent the
interest payments made by the Company on its Convertible Debentures
and, to a lesser extent, on the loans carried by certain of the
Company's foreign subsidiaries.  Other income, principally
investment income, decreased 16% to $225,000 for the current fiscal
year's third quarter from $268,000 for the prior fiscal year's third
quarter.  Other income during the nine months ended November 28,
1993 decreased by 48% to $786,000 from $1,526,000 during last year's
comparable period.  The reduction in other income is attributable to
the inclusion of a $359,000 gain in the prior fiscal year's nine
month period ended November 29, 1992 derived from foreign currency
transactions, and to the fact that market rates of interest were
lower on the Company's investments during the current period.  The
Company's cash reserves continued to be invested primarily in short
term taxable instruments and government securities.  

      The Company's effective income tax rate for the fiscal nine
month's ended November 28, 1993 was 35%, as compared to 27% during
the same period last year.  The increase in effective tax rate was
predominantly due to the loss of certain foreign tax benefits which
were available to the Company during last year's comparable period.

      During the current fiscal year's third quarter, the Company's
net earnings increased to $2,177,000 from $232,000 during the prior
fiscal year's third quarter.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per
share increased to $.55 and $.45 respectively for the current year's
third quarter from the prior year's third quarter primary and fully
diluted earnings per share of $.05.  During the nine month period
ended November 28, 1993, the Company's net earnings increased to
$4,657,000 from $1,577,000 during last fiscal year's first nine
months.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per share increased to
$1.17 and $1.03 respectively for the current fiscal year's first
nine months from primary and fully diluted earnings per share of
$.35 during last fiscal year's first nine months.  This increase in
earnings was primarily attributable to the increase in the operating
profit of the U.S. based electronics businesses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At November 28, 1993, the Company's cash and temporary
investments amounted to $36,062,000, as compared to $32,768,000 at
February 28, 1993, the end of the Company's last fiscal year.  The
increase in the Company's cash and investment position was
principally attributable to cash generated from operations.  The
Company's working capital position was $42,603,000 at November 28,
1993 as compared to $45,811,000 at February 28, 1993.  The Company's
current ratio, or the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities, was 2.1 to 1 at November 28, 1993, as compared to 2.6
to 1 at February 28, 1993.

      During the current fiscal year's first nine months, the
Company generated $15,699,000 of funds from operations and expended
$6,566,000 for the purchase of treasury stock and $5,462,000 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.
