              Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

                                 August 31, 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  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

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement
No.  128,  "Earning  per Share",  ("SFAS No 128").  SFAS No. 128  requires  dual
presentation of basic and diluted  earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the
income  statment.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing  net income by the weighted
averge  number of common  shares  outstanding  during the  period.  Diluted  EPS
reflects the  potential  dilution  from the exercise or conversion of securities
into common  stock,  such as stock  options.  SFAS 128 is effective  for periods
beginning after December 15, 1997 and will require restatement of prior periods.
Earlier  application  is not  permitted.  The  Company  does not  expect the new
standard  will have a material  impact on the  amounts  reported  for either its
basic or diluted earnings per share.

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  $4.8 million in the 1997
period as  compared  to $3.6  million in the 1996  period.  The period to period
change in cash  provided by 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 at August 31, 1997 was
$20.2  million  compared to $18.6 million at December 1, 1996.  Working  capital
management  performance  measures including the accounts  receivable  collection
period and inventory turnover rates  deteriorated  slightly from the prior year.
The Company's  current  ratio of 2.0 to 1 at August 31, 1997 remained  unchanged
from the current ratio at December 1, 1996.

     Capital  expenditures were $3.9 million in the 1997 period and $2.4 million
in the  1996  period.  Total  capital  expenditures  for 1997  are  expected  to
approximate  $6.0 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 August 31, 1997 consists of  approximately  $26.0 million
of 12 3/8% Senior Subordinated  Debentures and $27.1 million of borrowings under
a revolving credit facility with interest  principally at LIBOR (5.75% at August
31,  1997)  plus a variable  amount  (1.5% at August  31,  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 August 31,  1997,  the
available  unused  credit  under  the  asset-based  limitation  formula  of  the
revolving  credit  facility  approximated  $5.8 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
common stock.  During the quarter ended August 31, 1997,  the Company  exercised
options  to  purchase  52,602  shares of common  stock  for  approximately  $2.3
million.  Options to purchase an  additional  26,300 shares of common stock were
outstanding  at August 31, 1997 and were  exercised  on  September  25, 1997 for
approximately $1.2 million.

Results of  Operations  - Thirteen  weeks  ended  August 31,  1997  compared  to
thirteen weeks ended September 1, 1996.

     Consolidated  net sales  increased  by 8.9% from $36.9  million in the 1996
period to $40.2  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,  pruning and  harvesting  tools,  and water  source  heat  pumps.  The
acquisition of Broadway contributed approximately $1.0 million to the 1997 third
quarter  sales   increase.   Sales  of  custom   cabinetry   declined  from  the
exceptionally strong sales activity during the third quarter of fiscal 1996.

     Gross  margin  increased  by 8.3% from $14.0  million in the 1996 period to
$15.2  million in the 1997 period.  As a percentage  of net sales,  gross margin
declined to 37.8% in the 1997 period  compared to 38.0% in the 1996 period.  The
slight  decline in gross margin  percentage was due to lower  favorable  workers
compensation  insurance  experience  adjustments,   higher  rework  and  certain
shut-down  costs  associated  with  restructuring  the  production  of biometric
identification devices. Offsetting these factors were selective price increases,
favorable  material costs,  labor  productivity  improvements  and the continued
impact of more rapid sales growth of the higher margin security businesses.

     Selling,  administrative and general expenses increased by 14.4% from $10.0
million in the 1996 period to $11.4 million in the 1997 period.  As a percentage
of net sales, selling,  administrative and general expenses increased from 27.0%
in the  1996  period  to  28.3%  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 $1.8  million in the 1996 period to $1.4
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 39.9%  compared to
39.5% 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 $1.4 million ($1.54 per share) in the 1997 period  compares
to net  earnings  of $1.4  million  ($1.22  per share) in the 1996  period.  Net
earnings per share are based on an average of 873,194 shares  outstanding in the
1997 quarter compared to 1,078,334 for the 1996 quarter.
<PAGE>
Results of  Operations -  Thirty-nine  weeks ended  August 31, 1997  compared to
thirty-nine weeks ended September 1, 1996.

     Consolidated  net sales  increased by 6.4% from $114.2  million in the 1996
period to $121.5  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.  Approximately  $2.0 million in sales were
the result of the acquisition of Broadway Industries, Inc.

     Gross margin  increased  by 10.5% from $41.4  million in the 1996 period to
$45.7  million in the 1997 period.  As a percentage  of net sales,  gross margin
improved  from  36.2% in the 1996  period  to  37.6%  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 14.9% from $29.8
million in the 1996 period to $34.3 million in the 1997 period.  As a percentage
of net sales, selling,  administrative and general expenses increased from 26.1%
in the  1996  period  to  28.2%  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 $5.1  million in the 1996 period to $4.2
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 39.6% 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 $4.4 million ($4.74 per share) in the 1997 period  compares
to net  earnings  of $3.9  million  ($3.45  per share) in the 1996  period.  Net
earnings  per share are  based on an  average  of  910,456  shares  for the 1997
year-to-date period compared to 1,092,778 shares for the similar 1996 period.
