          the  funds used by Duquesne Enterprises to acquire the IPM Series
          B  Preferred  Shares was  a contribution  to capital  to Duquesne
          Enterprises by DQE.   The  funds contributed by  DQE to  Duquesne
          Enterprises were  obtained from  the working  capital of  DQE and
          were not the  result of  a loan or  other borrowing  arrangement.
          Duquesne  Enterprises  acquired an  additional  70,000  shares of
          Common  Stock through a  contribution to capital  from DQE, which
          had  acquired them  as a  dividend on  April 4,  1995 from  DQE's
          wholly-owned subsidiary,  Montauk, Inc.   Montauk,  Inc. acquired
          the 70,000 shares of  Common Stock in an open  market transaction 
          on March 7, 1995, at a purchase price of $16.50 per share for  an
          aggregate  purchase  price   of  $1,157,800  including  brokerage
          commissions.   The  funds used  by Montauk,  Inc. to  acquire the
          Common Stock were obtained from the working capital of Montauk.

          in open-market  transactions, of  the  remainder of  the  933,750
          shares of the Common Stock.

               The source of funds used for Duquesne Enterprises' purchases
          of the shares of Common Stock was the working capital of Duquesne
          Enterprises, which consisted partly  of contributions to  capital
          from  DQE  and funds  from a  revolving  credit facility  with an
          affiliate.
               Hurkmans beneficially owns 2,526 shares of the Common Stock.
          These shares were issued to Hurkmans upon conversion, pursuant to
          the  Reorganization  Agreement described  in  Item  4, of  12,000
          shares  of  Common  Stock  of  IPM  (the  "IPM  Common  Shares").
          Hurkmans acquired the IPM Common  Shares at an aggregate purchase
          price of $41,868.75.   The funds used by  Hurkmans to acquire the
          IPM Common Shares were his own personal funds.

          Item 4.   Purpose of the Transaction
                    --------------------------

               526,250 shares  of  Common  Stock were  issued  to  Duquesne
          Enterprises  and 2,526  shares  of Common  Stock  were issued  to
          Hurkmans  pursuant to  the  terms of  an  Agreement and  Plan  of 
          Reorganization dated as  of August  25, 1994, as  amended by  the
          First Amendment to Agreement and  Plan of Reorganization dated as
          of  December 14, 1994 and  the Second Amendment  to Agreement and
          Plan  of  Reorganization  dated as  of  January  5,  1995 (as  so
          amended,  the  "Reorganization  Agreement"),  among  the  Issuer,
          Exide  Electronics  Acquisition,  Inc.,  a  wholly-owned Delaware
          subsidiary of  the Issuer ("Acquisition") and  IPM, a description
          of which is as follows:

               On  February  8, 1995,  the  25,000 IPM  Series  B Preferred
          Shares held by Duquesne Enterprises  and 12,000 IPM Common Shares
          held by Thomas A. Hurkmans were converted into 526,250 shares and
          2,526 shares, respectively, of Common Stock pursuant to the terms
          of  the Reorganization Agreement  and the  related Certificate of
          Merger (the  "Certificate  of  Merger")  attached  as  Exhibit  A
          thereto.   The  terms of  the Reorganization  Agreement included,
          among others,  the following:   (i) Acquisition  would be  merged
          with and into IPM, which  would become a wholly-owned  subsidiary
          of  the  Issuer  (the  "Merger");  (ii)  each  IPM  Common  Share
          outstanding immediately  prior to  the Merger would  be converted
          into the number of shares of  the Common Stock determined by  the
          exchange ratios set  forth in the  Reorganization Agreement;  and
          (iii)  each outstanding  share of  IPM Series B  Preferred Stock,
          $1.00 par value, would be converted into that number of shares of
          Common  Stock  that would  be  issuable upon  conversion  of such
          number of shares of IPM Common  Stock into which one share of IPM
          Series B Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to the
          consummation of the Merger determined by  the exchange ratios set
          forth  in the  Reorganization Agreement,  and each  share of  IPM
          Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger would be 
          converted into the number of shares of Common Stock determined by
          the exchange ratios set forth in the Reorganization Agreement.

               The  Certificate of Merger was filed on February 8, 1995, at
          which  time the IPM Series B Preferred Shares were converted into
          526,250 shares  of Common Stock.   As a result of  the Merger and
          immediately thereafter, Duquesne  Enterprises beneficially  owned
          526,250 shares  of Common Stock, and  Hurkmans beneficially owned
          2,526 shares of  Common Stock.   At that  time, neither  Duquesne
          Enterprises  nor  Hurkmans  beneficially owned  any  other equity
          securities  of the Issuer.   Subsequent  acquisitions and current
          holdings are described in Items 3 and 5.

               The  foregoing   summary  of   certain  provisions   of  the
          Reorganization  Agreement is not  intended to be  complete and is
          qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions
          of  the Reorganization  Agreement, which  is filed  as Exhibit  A
          hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

               Each of  DQE, Duquesne Enterprises and Hurkmans acquired the
          Common  Stock  of the  Issuer as  a  long-term investment  in the
          Issuer's capital  stock.   None of  DQE, Duquesne  Enterprises or
          Hurkmans presently intends  to acquire control  over the  Issuer. 
          To the  knowledge of each of  the Reporting Persons, none  of the
          executive officers and directors of DQE or the executive officers
          and  directors  of  Duquesne  Enterprises  presently  intends  to
          acquire control over the Issuer.  The Reporting Persons presently
          intend to purchase additional securities of the Issuer should the 
          market  price remain attractive.   Such purchases may  be made in
          open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions and
          may  be consummated  with or  without the  services of  a broker.
          Based  upon  the amount  of  any additional  purchases  of Common
          Stock, the Reporting Persons may seek representation on the board
          of directors  of  the Issuer  commensurate  with such  ownership.
          Similarly, subject  to applicable law, and  depending upon market
          and  other factors, the Reporting  Persons may from  time to time
          determine  to dispose  of some  or all  of the  shares of  Common
          Stock.    Furthermore,  the  Reporting  Persons  may increase  or
          decrease their respective investments in the Issuer, depending on
          the price and availability of the Issuer's securities, the amount
          of working capital  available to the  Reporting Persons for  such
          purposes,  general  economic  and  stock  market conditions,  tax
          considerations, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the
          Reporting Persons' evaluation of the Issuer's business and future
          prospects,  the Issuer's acceptance  of the  Reporting Persons as
          investors in  the  Issuer, the  status of  the Reporting  Persons
          under the Rights  Agreement between  the Issuer  and First  Union
          National  Bank of  North America,  as Rights  Agent, dated  as of
          November 25,  1992  (the "Stockholder  Rights  Plan"), and  other
          considerations,   including  the   obtaining  of   any  necessary
          regulatory approvals.
               
               On September 29, 1995, Duquesne Enterprises delivered to the
          Issuer  a letter expressing its desire  to increase its ownership
          of  Common Stock  to the  20%  to 25%  level, either  through the
          purchase from the Issuer  of newly issued shares of  Common Stock
          or, if the Issuer prefers, through the purchase of shares  in the
          open market.  In such letter, Duquesne Enterprises stated that it
          continues to view its  ownership of Common Shares as  a long-term
          investment, and that it has no interest at this time in acquiring
          control  of  the  Issuer.   The  letter  further  stated that  an
          investment  in  shares of  Common Stock  at  the 20%  level would
          enable Duquesne Enterprises to  reflect its investment using  the
          equity method of accounting.  Duquesne Enterprises also requested
          in such letter that  the Issuer's Board of Directors  take action
          to approve the  increased investment for purposes  of Section 203
          of the General  Corporation Law of the State of  Delaware and the
          Stockholder  Rights Plan.   Duquesne  Enterprises also  stated in
          such letter that it  was prepared to negotiate  and enter into  a
          mutually  acceptable  "standstill  agreement"  with   the  Issuer
          relating to its increased investment.  At the time of delivery of
          the letter  described above, Duquesne Enterprises  indicated that
          if it were to make such an increased investment in the Issuer, it
          would envision representation on the Issuer's Board of  Directors
          consisting of at least one member.

               Other  than as  described  in  this  Item  4,  none  of  the
          Reporting Persons or  the persons  listed in Appendix  A has  any
          present  plans or proposals which  relate to or  would result in:

          the  acquisition by  any person  of additional securities  of the
          Issuer,  or the disposition of  securities of the  Issuer; (b) an
          extraordinary   corporate  transaction,   such   as   a   merger,
          reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its
          subsidiaries;  (c) a  sale or  transfer of  a material  amount of
          assets  of the  Issuer  or of  any of  its subsidiaries;  (d) any
          change in the  present board  of directors or  management of  the
          Issuer,  including any plans or proposals to change the number or
          terms  of  directors or  to fill  any  existing vacancies  on the
          board; (e) any material  change in the present capitalization  or
          dividend policy of the  Issuer; (f) any other material  change in
          the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in  the
          Issuer's charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or
          other  actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the
          Issuer by any  person; (h) a  class of securities  of the  Issuer
          being delisted from a national  securities exchange or ceasing to
          be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of
          a  registered national  securities  association; (i)  a class  of
          equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination
          of registration pursuant  to Section 12(g)(4)  of the  Securities
          Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"); or (j) any
          action similar to any of those enumerated above.

          Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer
                    ------------------------------------
               (a)  DQE owns no shares  of Common Stock  other than through
          its wholly-owned subsidiary  Duquesne Enterprises.   Through such
          subsidiary, DQE  beneficially owns 933,750 shares of Common Stock
          representing approximately 12.01% of the  outstanding shares  of
          Common  Stock.   Duquesne  Enterprises beneficially  owns 933,750
          shares of  Common Stock representing approximately  12.01% of the
          outstanding shares of Common Stock.  For  detailed information on
          Duquesne  Enterprises' acquisition  of these  shares, see  Item 3
          above.  Duquesne Enterprises  shares the power to vote  or direct
          the vote and the  power to dispose or  direct the disposition  of
          such shares  with DQE  as a result  of DQE's  status as the  sole
          shareholder  of Duquesne  Enterprises.   Other than  as described
          herein,  to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the executive
          officers and  directors of each of DQE  and Duquesne Enterprises,
          other  than  in their  respective capacities  as  officers and/or
          directors of DQE and Duquesne  Enterprises, have no interest  in,
          power  to vote  or direct  the vote  of, or  power to  dispose or
          direct  the  disposition  of  any   of  such  shares.    Hurkmans
          beneficially  owns  2,526  shares  of  Common  Stock representing
          approximately  .03% of  the outstanding  shares of  Common Stock.
          Hurkmans has the sole  power to vote or  direct the vote of  such
          shares and to dispose  or direct the disposition of  such shares.
          Hurkmans  does not share the power to  vote or to direct the vote
          or to dispose or direct the disposition of any of such shares.

               The number of shares  of Common Stock beneficially  owned by
          the Reporting  Persons  and  the percentage  of  the  outstanding
          shares of Common Stock represented  thereby have been computed in
          accordance  with  Rule   13d-3  under  the  Exchange  Act.    The
          percentages   of  ownership  of  DQE,  Duquesne  Enterprises  and
          Hurkmans, respectively, are based on 7,776,692

          outstanding  shares of the Issuer's Common Stock as stated in the
          Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June
          30, 1995.

               (b)  Given that  DQE is  the  sole shareholder  of  Duquesne
          Enterprises, DQE and Duquesne  Enterprises share with each  other
          the  power to vote and  dispose of the  Common Stock beneficially
          owned by each of  them.  Hurkmans has the sole power  to vote and
          dispose of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him.

               (c)  Other than the transactions  described in Item 3 above,
          DQE,  Duquesne Enterprises and Hurkmans have not entered into any
          transactions regarding the  securities of the  Issuer during  the
          last sixty days.

               (d)  Not Applicable.

               (e)  Not Applicable.

                    ------------------------------------------   
                    Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
                    ------------------------------------------------------

               Duquesne   Enterprises  and  the   Issuer  entered   into  a
          Stockholder  Agreement,   dated  as  of  August   25,  1994  (the
          "Stockholder  Agreement"),  under   which  Duquesne   Enterprises
          appointed  the Issuer its lawful attorney with full power to vote
          all shares of IPM  Series B Preferred Stock and  IPM Common Stock
          (if  any)  owned by  it  in  favor  of  approval of  the  Merger.
          Pursuant to the Stockholder  Agreement, Duquesne Enterprises also
          agreed  that it  would  not  take  any  actions  to  perfect  any
          dissenters' or appraisal  rights it may have  under Delaware law.
          Also pursuant to the  Stockholder Agreement, Duquesne Enterprises
          agreed not to sell,  transfer or otherwise dispose of  any shares
          of  IPM Series  B Preferred  Stock  or IPM  Common  Stock, or  to
          deposit or subject any such shares into or  to any kind of escrow
          or  trust or voting agreement that would be inconsistent with the
          provisions of the Stockholder Agreement.

               The  foregoing   summary  of   certain  provisions   of  the
          Stockholder  Agreement is  not  intended to  be  complete and  is
          qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions
          of  the Stockholder Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit B hereto
          and  is  incorporated  herein   by  reference.    The   operative
          provisions of the Stockholder Agreement are no longer in effect.

               Duquesne  Enterprises   and  the  Issuer  entered   into  an
          Affiliate Agreement, dated as of August 25,  1994 (the "Affiliate
          Agreement"), pursuant to which Duquesne Enterprises, which may be
