3.  PURCHASE OF BUILDING

On March 15, 1994, the Company acquired its Stamford, Connecticut executive
office facility from Leandro P. Rizzuto, President and sole common stockholder
of the Company.  The purchase price of $20,000,000 was determined based on an
independent appraisal.  A ten-year unsecured loan in the amount of $20,000,000
was obtained by the Company on the above date to finance this transaction.  The
interest rate on this new loan is 7%.  Principal repayments on this loan begin
on June 1, 1996 with the payment of $625,000 and variable sums are due semi-
annually on June 1 and December 1 until a final payment of $4,000,000 at
maturity on February 28, 2004.  The Company leased back to Leandro P. Rizzuto a
portion of the facility for a period of 99 years subject to the Company's
option, for a period of 10 years, to buy back the lease rights.  The option
price for the Company to repurchase the lease rights is $4,000,000 for the
first five years, escalating to $6,400,000 over the remaining five years.  The
initial option price was determined based on an independent appraisal.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


SALES

Net sales for the second quarter and first half of 1994 increased 25.2% and
19.8%, respectively over the comparable periods in 1993.  The increases in the
second quarter and the first half of 1994 were primarily due to increases in
most product categories as well as the sales of Southwestern Bell Freedom Phone
Products which were not sold during the first quarter of 1993.

GROSS MARGINS

Gross margins in the second quarter and first half of 1994 were 32.1% and 32.6%
of net sales, respectively.  Gross margins for the second quarter and first
half of 1993 were 32.6% and 33.4% of net sales, respectively.  The variances in
gross margins are primarily due to product mix.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter and first
half of 1994 were 25.2% and 26.8% of net sales, respectively.  Selling general
and administrative expenses in the second quarter and first half of 1993 were
28.3% and 29.0% of net sales, respectively.  The declines resulted from the
fixed and semi-variable nature of certain costs in this category.

INTEREST

Interest expense has increased in the second quarter of 1994 as compared to the
same period last year due to an increase in the Company's long-term debt.


INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate varied in the second quarter and first half of
1994 as compared to the same period in 1993.  This was primarily due to the
amortization of the excess cost of investments over net assets acquired, not
deductible for tax purposes.

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




LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


The Company's working capital was $125,735,000 at June 30, 1994 and the current
ratio was 2.7 to 1.  The Company's cash balance was $8,671,000, short-term
borrowings were $14,000,000 and long term debt was $99,999,000 at June 30,
1994.

The Company believes its capital resources are adequate to finance normal
growth and service the Company's debt obligations.  At June 30, 1994, the
Company had short term lines of credit with banks in the United States and
abroad aggregating $89,400,000, which includes $25,000,000 available for the
period June 1 to November 30 to finance its seasonal business needs.

On March 15, 1994, the Company acquired its Stamford, Connecticut executive
office facility from Leandro P. Rizzuto, President and sole common stockholder
of the Company.  The purchase price of $20,000,000 was determined based on an
independent appraisal.  A ten-year unsecured loan in the amount of $20,000,000
was obtained by the Company on the above date to finance this transaction.  The
interest rate on this new loan is 7%.  Principal repayments on this loan begin
on June 1, 1996 with the payment of $625,000 and variable sums are due semi-
annually on June 1 and December 1 until a final payment of $4,000,000 at
maturity on February 28, 2004.  The Company leased back to Leandro P. Rizzuto a
portion of the facility for a period of 99 years subject to the Company's
option, for a period of 10 years, to buy back the lease rights.  The option
price for the Company to repurchase the lease rights is $4,000,000 for the
first five years, escalating to $6,400,000 over the remaining five years.  The
initial option price was determined based on an independent appraisal.
