Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included in the consolidated  condensed financial  statements.  For further
information,  refer  to the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  footnotes
included  in the  Annual  Report  on Form  10-K  filed by the  Company  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.


Note B - Purchase of Business


On February 28, 1997, the Company  purchased  substantially all of the assets of
Broadway  Industries,  Inc.  ("Broadway") for cash including related expenses of
approximately  $4,000,000 under a transaction  approved by a bankruptcy court on
February 14, 1997.  Broadway  manufactures  and markets high quality  decorative
plumbing  fixtures  and bath and cabinet  hardware.  The  acquisition,  which we
accounted  for under the  purchase  method,  was  financed  principally  through
borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. Broadway had net sales
of  approximately  $9,500,000 in 1996. Pro forma  consolidated  net earnings for
1996 and 1997,  assuming the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the
fiscal 1996, would not have varied significantly from the amount reported.

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,  purchase  of  property,  plant  and  equipment,  business
acquisition  opportunities,  servicing 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  $1.8 million in the 1997
period as compared to the use of cash of $2.5  million in the 1996  period.  The
period  to period  change in cash  provided  by (used in)  operating  activities
resulted  from improved  1997  earnings  combined with the somewhat  slower 1997
growth rate which  necessitated a lower investment in working  capital.  Working
capital  management  performance  measures  including  the  accounts  receivable
collection  period and inventory  turnover  rates remained  consistent  with the
prior year.  Working capital at June 1, 1997 was $23.8 million compared to $18.6
million at December 1, 1996. The Company's  current ratio of 2.2 to 1 at June 1,
1997 improved from the current ratio of 2.0 to 1 at December 1, 1996.

     Capital  expenditures were $2.7 million in the 1997 period and $1.5 million
in the  1996  period.  Total  capital  expenditures  for 1997  are  expected  to
approximate  $7.0 million and will be  primarily  for  capacity  expansion,  new
products, profit improvement and replacement.

     The Company acquired the net assets of Broadway Industries,  Inc. effective
as of the end of the first quarter for a total purchase  price of  approximately
$4.0 million (see Note B to the accompanying  Consolidated  Condensed  Financial
Statements).

     Long-term debt at June 1, 1997 consists of  approximately  $26.0 million of
12 3/8% Senior  Subordinated  Debentures and $29.7 million of borrowings under a
revolving  credit facility with interest  principally at LIBOR (5.75% at June 1,
1997) plus a variable  amount  (1.5% at June 1, 1997)  based upon the  Company's
ratio of debt to  earnings.  The  Senior  Subordinated  Debentures  are due $6.5
million in 2001 with the balance due in 2002. As of June 1, 1997,  the available
unused credit under the asset-based  limitation  formula of the revolving credit
facility approximated $5.4 million. The revolving credit agreement also provides
for a  standby  credit  facility  of  $8  million  to  finance  possible  future
acquisitions.

     The Company is a party to various put and call  options with respect to its
junior  preferred and common stock.  During the quarter ended June 1, 1997,  the
Company  exercised  options to purchase 39,000 shares of junior  preferred stock
and 47,886 shares of common stock for  approximately  $1.3  million.  Options to
purchase an additional 78,902 shares of common stock were outstanding at June 1,
1997  and are  expected  to be  exercised  prior to the end of  fiscal  1997 for
approximately $3.5 million.
<PAGE>
Results of  Operations - Thirteen  weeks ended June 1, 1997 compared to thirteen
weeks ended June 2, 1996.

     Consolidated  net sales  increased by  7.9% from $39.2  million in the 1996
period to $42.2  million in the 1997  period.  Security  businesses  experienced
particularly strong increases in sales in 1997 versus compared to the comparable
1996 period.  Smaller  percentage  sales  increases were realized in builder and
consumer  hardware,  pruning and harvesting  tools,  and custom  cabinetry.  The
acquisition  of Broadway  contributed  modestly to the 1997 second quarter sales
increase. Sales of water source heat pumps declined by approximately 1% from the
exceptionally strong sales activity during the second quarter of fiscal 1996.

     Gross margin  increased  by 14.2% from $14.0  million in the 1996 period to
$16.0  million in the 1997 period.  As a percentage  of net sales,  gross margin
improved to 38.0% in the 1997 period  compared to 35.9% in the 1996 period.  The
improvement in gross margin percentage was due to the more rapid sales growth of
the higher margin  security  businesses,  selective price  increases,  favorable
material costs and labor productivity improvements.

     Selling,  administrative  and general expenses increased by 24.3% from $9.5
million in the 1996 period to $11.8 million in the 1997 period.  As a percentage
of net sales, selling,  administrative and general expenses increased from 24.2%
in the  1996  period  to  27.9%  in the 1997  period.  Engineering  and  product
development  costs,  additional  customer rebates,  higher commissions and other
volume  related  expenses  and high  initial  expenses  related to the  Broadway
acquisition  comprised  a  significant  portion  of the  increase.  Selling  and
administrative  expenses  for 1996  were  reduced  by  $500,000  to  reflect  an
insurance recovery of prior period environmental  remediation and related costs.
The increase in expenses as a percentage  of sales is also  impacted by the more
rapid growth of security  businesses  which have  comparably  higher  percentage
selling and administrative expenses.

     Interest  expense  decreased  from $1.7  million in the 1996 period to $1.5
million in the 1997 period due to lower average  borrowing  rates resulting from
the 1996  renegotiation  of the  Company's  revolving  credit  agreement and the
redemption of its 14% Junior Subordinated Debentures and $12.0 million of its 12
3/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures.

     The  effective  income tax rate for the 1997 quarter was 39.7%  compared to
39.0% for the 1996 period.  These rates exceed the statutory  federal income tax
rate  of 34% due  primarily  to  state  income  taxes  and  the  tax  effect  of
nondeductible goodwill amortization.

     Net earnings of $1.7 million ($1.87 per share) in the 1997 period  compares
to net earnings of $1.8 million ($1.58 per share) in the 1996 period.

Results  of  Operations  -  Twenty-six  weeks  ended  June 1, 1997  compared  to
twenty-six weeks ended June 2, 1996.

     Consolidated  net sales  increased by $5.2% from $77.3  million in the 1996
period to $81.3  million in the 1997  period.  Security  businesses  experienced
particularly  strong  increases  in sales in 1997  versus  the  comparable  1996
period. Smaller percentage sales increases were realized in builder and consumer
hardware and custom cabinetry.  Sales of water source heat pumps and pruning and
harvesting tools declined modestly from the exceptionally  strong sales activity
during the first half of fiscal 1996.

     Gross margin  increased  by 11.6% from $27.3  million in the 1996 period to
$30.5  million in the 1997 period.  As a percentage  of net sales,  gross margin
improved  from  35.3% in the 1996  period  to  37.5%  in the  1997  period.  The
improvement in gross margin percentage was due to the more rapid sales growth of
the higher margin  security  businesses,  selective price  increases,  favorable
material costs and labor productivity improvements.

     Selling, administrative and general expenses increased by $15.2% from $19.8
million in the 1996 period to $22.9 million in the 1997 period.  As a percentage
of net sales, selling,  administrative and general expenses increased from 25.6%
in the  1996  period  to  28.1%  in the 1997  period.  Engineering  and  product
development  costs,  additional  customer rebates,  higher commissions and other
volume  related  expenses  and high  initial  expenses  related to the  Broadway
acquisition  comprised a significant  portion of the  increase.  The increase in
expenses as a percentage  of sales is also  impacted by the more rapid growth of
security   businesses  which  have  comparably  higher  percentage  selling  and
administrative expenses.

     Interest  expense  decreased  from $3.3  million in the 1996 period to $2.8
million in the 1997 period due to lower average  borrowing  rates resulting from
the 1996  renegotiation  of the  Company's  revolving  credit  agreement and the
redemption of its 14% Junior Subordinated Debentures and $12.0 million of its 12
3/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures.

     The effective  income tax rate for the 1997  year-to-date  period was 40.0%
compared to 39.7% for the 1996 period.  These rates exceed the statutory federal
income tax rate of 34% due primarily to state income taxes and the tax effect of
nondeductible goodwill amortization.

     Net earnings of $3.0 million ($3.20 per share) in the 1997 period  compares
to net earnings of $2.6 million ($2.23 per share) in the 1996 period.
