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 provided by operating activities totaled $3.4 million during
the thirty-nine weeks ended August 27, 1995, as compared to $2.1 million in
the 1994 period.  The 1995 improvement in cash flow was primarily a result of
higher net earnings.  Increases in accounts receivable and inventories during
both 1994 and 1995, partially offset by related increases in accounts payable
and accrued expenses, reflect a general acceleration in business activity
during both years.  Working capital at August 27, 1995, was $13.9 million
compared to $16.5 million at November 27, 1994.  The decrease is primarily
the result of the disposition of the Leigh businesses.  The Company's current
ratio of 1.9 to 1 at August 27, 1995, declined slightly form the current
ratio of 2.1 to 1 at November 27, 1994.

          Capital expenditures were $2.4 million during the thirty-nine
weeks ended August 27, 1995, and $3.3 million in the 1994 period.  Capital
additions for all of 1995 are expected to be less than the initial forecast
of $5 million.  Expenditures 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 the issued and
outstanding capital stock of its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Leigh Metal
Products, Ltd.  The cash generated from the sale approximated $5.7 million
after deducting transaction expenses and the amount used in fiscal 1995
operations for the period prior to sale.

          The Senior Subordinated Debentures required annual sinking fund
payments; however, as a result of the repurchase of debentures in 1990 and
1991, no principal maturities are due until 1999.  The outstanding balance
under the terms of a revolving credit agreement, which provides for maximum
borrowings of $20 million, was $2.6 million at August 27, 1995.  As of that
date the available unused credit approximated $11.3 million under the
asset-based formula of the agreement.

Results of Operations - Thirteen weeks ended August 27, 1995, compared to
thirteen weeks ended August 28, 1994

          The comparability of operating results is affected by the acquisition
of Recognition Systems, Inc. (RSI) (see Note B to the consolidated condensed
financial statements) and the sale of Leigh businesses (see Note C).  Operating
results of the Leigh businesses are included in consolidated results for 1994
and, except for the gain on the sale, excluded in consolidated results
effective as of December 1, 1994.

          Consolidated net sales decreased from $35.8 million in the 1994
period to $31.6 million in the 1995 period.  Sales of continuing operations
(excluding the Leigh businesses from 1994 amounts) increased by $1.2 million
(4.1%) from $29.2 million in the 1994 period to $30.4 million in the 1995
period.  Year to year sales increases moderated during the third quarter for
all product lines; however, sales of commercial security products and
systems, and pruning and harvesting tools remained strong during the current
quarter.  RSI added net sales of $1.2 million in the 1995 period.

          Gross margin declined slightly from $12.1 million in the 1994 period
to $12.0 million in the 1995 period.  As a percentage of net sales, gross
margin increased from 33.8% in the 1994 period to 38.1% in the 1995 period.
The elimination of the lower margin Leigh businesses combined with the
acquisition of RSI contributed significantly to the improvement in gross
margin percentages.  Higher sales volume of other product lines, a favorable
workers compensation insurance experience adjustment, and improved 
manufacturing efficiencies, particularly for custom cabinetry and pruning
and harvesting tools, also contributed to the gross margin improvement.  
Offsetting these factors were aluminum, brass and copper cost increases
which effected builder and consumer hardware gross margins.

          Selling, administrative and general expenses decreased $400,000
(4.7%) from $9.6 million in the 1994 period to $9.2 million in the 1995
period.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, administrative and general
expenses increased from 26.7% in the 1994 period to 29.2% in the 1995 period.
Selling, administrative and general expenses for the 1995 period reflect a
decrease due to the sale of Leigh businesses of $1.6 million partially offset
by the addition of RSI expenses and volume-related increases for all other
operations. 
          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 RSI.

          The gain on the sale of the Leigh businesses, previously recognized
in the first quarter of 1995, was adjusted downward by $300,000 in the current
quarter to reflect adverse experience adjustments for medical and workers
compensation self-insurance costs related to employees terminated in
connection with the sale.

<PAGE>

          The 1995 provision for income taxes is less than the amount expected
using the statutory federal income rate of 34% due to an adjustment to reduce
prior years' estimated liabilities as a result of the expiration of statute
of limitation for fiscal 1991.  This reduction more than offsets the provision
for state taxes and the tax effect of nondeductible items (principally
goodwill amortization).  The 1994 provision for income taxes was based on an
estimated annual effective rate of approximately 53% which was revised
downward in the forth quarter to an annual rate which approximated the
statutory rate.

          Net earnings were $673,000 ($.57 per share) in the 1995 period
compared to $484,000 ($.39 per share) in the 1994 period.



Results of Operations - Thirty-nine weeks ended August 27, 1995, compared to
thirty-nine weeks ended August 28, 1994

          The comparability of operating results is affected by the acquisition
of Recognition Systems, Inc. (RSI) (see Note B to the consolidated condensed
financial statements) and the sale of Leigh businesses (see Note C).  Operating
results of the Leigh businesses are included in consolidated results for 1994
and, except for the gain on the sale of $500,000, are excluded from 1995
consolidated results.  Operating results of RSI are included in consolidated
results effective as of December 1, 1994.

          Consolidated net sales decreased from $103.3 million in the 1994
period to $97.5 million in the 1995 period.  Sales of continuing operations
(excluding the Leigh businesses from 1994 amounts) increased by $8.8 million
(10.3%) from $85.2 million in the 1994 period to $94.0 million in the 1995
period.  All product lines experienced increases; however, sales for the 1995
period were strongest in consumer pruning and harvesting tools, and commercial
security products and systems.  RSI added net sales of $3.5 million in the
1995 period.

          Gross margin increased $1.2 million (3.5%) from $34.1 million in
the 1994 period to $35.3 million in the 1995 period.  As a percentage of net
sales, gross margin increased from 33.0% in the 1994 period to 36.2% in the
1995 period.  The elimination of the lower margin Leigh businesses combined
with the acquisition of RSI contributed significantly to the improvement in
gross margin percentages.  Higher sales volume of other product lines, a
favorable workers' compensation insurance experience adjustment, and improved
manufacturing efficiencies, particularly for custom cabinetry and pruning
and harvesting tools, also contributed to the gross margin improvement.  
Offsetting these factors were aluminum, brass and copper cost increases 
hich effected builder and consumer hardware gross margins.

          Selling, administrative and general expenses decreased $1.1 million
(3.9%) from $28.4 million in the 1994 period to $27.3 million in the 1995
period.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, administrative and general
expenses increased from 27.5% in the 1994 period to 28.0% in the 1995 period.
Selling, administrative and general expenses for the 1995 period reflect a
decrease of $4.6 million due to the sale of the Leigh businesses partially
offset by the addition of RSI expenses and volume-related increases for all
other operations.

<PAGE>

          Interest expense increased from $4.8 million in the 1994 period
to $5.0 million in the 1995 period.  The higher interest expenses 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 and an adjustment
to reduce prior years' estimated liabilities as a result of the expiration
of the statute of limitations for fiscal 1991.  These reductions more than
offset the effect of state income taxes and nondeductible items (principally
goodwill amortization).  The 1994 provision for income taxes was based on an
estimated annual effective rate of approximately 53% which was revised
downward in the fourth quarter to an annual rate which approximated the
statutory rate.

          Net earnings were $2.6 million ($2.20 per share) in the 1995 period
compared to $456,000 ($.28 per share) in the 1994 period.
