              Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

                                  March 2, 1997



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  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 will be
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.

The portion of purchase price paid as of March 2, 1997  ($3,808,000) is included
in the  accompanying  balance  sheet  in  other  noncurrent  assets  and will be
allocated to the specific assets acquired and liabilities  assumed  effective as
of the beginning of the Company's second quarter.

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 used in operating  activities  totaled $1.8 million in the 1997 period
as compared to $3.6 million in the 1996 period. The use of cash during the first
quarter  of both  fiscal  1997 and  1996  results  from  increases  in  accounts
receivable and inventories  and follows the normal seasonal  pattern of business
activity.  Accounts receivable increases are due primarily to the seasonal sales
of pruning and  harvesting  tools.  Inventory  increases in fiscal 1997 and 1996
reflect  both the  higher  current  level of  business  activity  and,  for most
operations,  anticipated increases in sales during subsequent quarters.  Working
capital at March 2, 1997 was $23.4 million compared to $18.6 million at December
1, 1996. The Company's  current ratio of 2.3 to 1 at March 2, 1997 improved from
the current ratio of 2.0 to 1 at December 1, 1996.

     Capital  expenditures  were $1.1 million in the 1997 period and $643,000 in
the 1996 period. Total capital expenditures for 1997 are expected to approximate
$8.2 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 March 2, 1997 consists of approximately  $26.0 million of
12 3/8% Senior  Subordinated  Debentures and $30.8 million of borrowings under a
revolving credit facility with interest principally at LIBOR (5.375% at March 2,
1997) plus a variable  amount  (1.25% at March 2, 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 March 2, 1997, the available
unused credit under the asset-based  limitation  formula of the revolving credit
facility approximated $4.9 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 March 2, 1997, the
Company  exercised  options to purchase 80,436 shares of junior  preferred stock
and 64,820 shares of common stock for  approximately  $2.0  million.  Options to
purchase  an  additional  39,000  shares of junior  preferred  stock and 126,788
shares of common stock were  outstanding at March 2, 1997 and are expected to be
exercised prior to the end of fiscal 1997 for approximately $4.8 million.

Results of Operations - Thirteen  weeks ended March 2, 1997 compared to thirteen
weeks ended March 3, 1996.

     Consolidated  net sales  increased  by 2.4% from $38.1  million in the 1996
period  to  $39.0  million  in the 1997  period.  Sales  of  security  products,
commercial and consumer hardware and custom cabinetry were  particularly  strong
during the  quarter.  These  increases  were  partially  offset by  year-to-year
decreases in the sales of pruning tools and water source heat pumps..

     Gross margin  increased $1.2 million or 9.0% from $13.3 million in the 1996
period to $14.5 million in the 1997 period. As a percentage of net sales,  gross
margin  improved  to  37.0%  in the 1997  period  compared  to 34.8% in the 1996
period.  The  improvement is due to a favorable  product mix,  reduced  warranty
costs, price increases, and favorable costs on certain parts and material.

     Selling,  administrative  and general expenses increased by $700,000 (6.8%)
from $10.4  million  in the 1996  period to $11.1  million  in the 1997  period.
Higher  commission,  freight  and other  volume  related  expenses  comprised  a
significant portion of the increase.  Engineering and product development costs,
and  provisions  for  gain  sharing  and  other  incentive   compensation   also
contributed  to the  increase.  Partially  offsetting  these  increases  was the
elimination  of employee  severance  costs which  adversely  impacted  the first
quarter of fiscal 1996.  As a percentage of net sales,  selling,  administrative
and  general  expenses  increased  from 27.2% in the 1996 period to 28.4% in the
1997 period.

     Interest  expense  decreased  from $1.6  million in the 1996 period to $1.3
million in the 1997 period due to lower average  borrowing  rates resulting from
the  renegotiation  of the  Company's  revolving  credit  agreement and the 1996
redemption of the 14% Junior Subordinated Debentures and $12.0 million of the 12
3/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures..

     The  effective  income tax rate for the 1997 quarter was 40.3%  compared to
41.1% for the 1996  period.  These rates  exceed the  statutory  rate of 34% due
primarily  to state income  taxes and the tax effect of  nondeductible  goodwill
amortization.

     Net earnings of $1.3 million ($1.34 per share) in the 1997 period  compares
to net earnings of $759,000 ($.64 per share) in the 1996 period.
