ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's cash requirements relate primarily to the seasonal financing 
of working capital, the purchase of property, plant and equipment, business 
acquisition opportunities, the servicing of outstanding debt and cash 
dividends.  Cash provided by operating activities continues to be the major 
source of the Company's funds and is expected to satisfy a substantial 
portion of future cash needs.  These funds have been augmented by long-term
borrowings under a revolving credit agreement.

     Cash used in operating activities totaled $2.1 million in the 1995 period 
as compared to $2.5 million in the 1994 period.  The use of cash by 
operations during the first quarter of both fiscal 1995 and 1994 follows 
the normal seasonal pattern of business activity with net sales and operating 
earnings generally at levels below other quarters.  The 1995 improvement in 
cash flow was a result of higher earnings.  The increase in accounts
receivables in both periods is due primarily to seasonal sales of pruning and 
harvesting tools.  The larger increase in accounts receivable in the 1995 
period was offset by a similar increase in accounts payable and accrued 
expenses.  The increase in inventories in both periods is in anticipation of 
higher sales levels in subsequent quarters and, to a lesser extent, the need
in fiscal 1995 to compensate for longer vendor lead times on certain purchased
components.  Working capital at February 26, 1995 was $16.3 million compared 
to $16.5 million at November 27, 1994.  The Company's current ratio of 2.1 to
1 at February 26, 1995 remains unchanged from the current ratio at 
November 27, 1994.

     Capital expenditures were $645,000 in the 1995 period and $563,000 in the 
1994 period.  Capital additions for 1995 are expected to approximate $4.5 
million and will be primarily for profit improvement, replacement and 
capacity expansion.

     On January 4, 1995, the Company acquired all of the common stock of 
Recognition Systems, Inc. (RSI) for a cash purchase price (net of cash 
acquired) of $9.6 million.  The acquisition was financed principally through 
borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.  Goodwill 
recognized in connection with the purchase approximated $7.8 million.

     On February 6, 1995, the Company completed the sale of substantially all 
of the net assets of its Leigh Products Division and all of the issued and 
outstanding capital stock of its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Leigh 
Metal Products, Ltd.  The cash generated from the sale approximated $6.0 
million after deducting transaction expenses and the amount used in fiscal 
1995 operations for the period prior to sale.

     The Senior Subordinated Debentures require annual sinking fund payments;
however, as a result of the repurchase of debentures in 1990 and 1991, no 
principal maturities are due until 1999.  Under the terms of the revolving 
credit agreement, the Company can borrow up to $20 million.  As of 
February 26, 1995, the available unused credit approximated $10 million 
under the asset-based limitation formula of the agreement.

Results of Operations - Thirteen weeks ended February 26, 1995 compared to 
thirteen weeks ended February 27, 1994.

     On January 4, 1995, pursuant to a definitive purchase agreement entered 
into on November 30, 1994, the Company acquired all of the common stock of 
Recognition Systems, Inc. ("RSI") for cash.  RSI manufactures and markets 
biometric identification devices and had net sales of $3,300,000 in 1994.  
Operating results of RSI are included in consolidated results beginning 
December 1, 1994.

     On February 6, 1995, the Company completed the sale of substantially all 
of the net assets of its Leigh Products Division and all of the capital stock 
of its Canadian subsidiary, Leigh Metal Products Ltd. The sale, which was 
initiated in November 1994, resulted in a pretax gain of $801,000 which 
includes 1995 operating results of the Leigh businesses for the period prior 
to the date of the sale.  Amounts related to the Leigh operations are otherwise
excluded from reported amounts for the 1995 period.

     Consolidated net sales increased from $31.4 million in the 1994 period to 
$32.4 million in the 1995 period.  Sales of continuing rations (excluding the 
Leigh business from 1994 amounts) increased by $5.2 million (20.1%) from 
$26.1 million in the 1994 period to $31.3 million in the 1995 period.  All 
product lines experienced increases, however, sales for the 1995 quarter were 
particularly strong in consumer pruning and harvesting tools, commercial
security products and systems, custom cabinetry and water source heat pumps.  
RSI added net sales of $1.1 million in the 1995 period.

     Gross margin increased $1.1 million (10.8%) from $10.0 million in the 
1994 period to $11.1 million in the 1995 period.  As a percentage of net sales, 
gross margin increased from 31.7% in the 1994 period to 34.1% in the 1995 
period.  The elimination of the lower margins of the Leigh businesses 
combined with the acquisition of RSI contributed significantly to the 
improvement in gross margin percentages.  Higher sales volume of other 
product lines, particularly custom cabinetry and consumer pruning tools, also 
contributed to the gross margin improvement.  Offsetting these factors were 
aluminum and copper cost increases which adversely effected builder and 
consumer hardware gross margins.

     Selling, administrative and general expenses decreased $300,000 (3.6%) 
from $9.2 million in the 1994 period to $8.9 million in the 1995 period.  As 
a percentage of net sales, selling, administrative and general expenses 
decreased from 29.2% in the 1994 period to 27.3% in the 1995 period.  
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 1995 period reflect a 
decrease due to the sale of Leigh businesses of $1.5 million partially offset by
volume-related increases for all other operations. Selling, general and 
administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales for all continuing 
business.

     Interest expense increased slightly from $1.6 million in the 1994 period 
to $1.7 million in the 1995 period.  The higher interest expense is due to 
borrowings under the revolving credit agreement required to finance the 
acquisition of Recognition Systems, Inc.

     The 1995 provision for income taxes is less than the amount expected using 
the statutory federal income rate of 34% due to the tax effect of the gain on 
the sale of the Leigh businesses.  The 1994 provision for income taxes was 
based on an estimated annual effective rate of approximately 57% which was 
revised downward in subsequent quarters to an annual rate which approximated 
the statutory rate.

     Net earnings of $1.1 million ($.99 per share) in the 1995 period compared 
to a net loss of $331,000 ($.35 per share) in the 1994 period.
