                         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Management Opinion

         In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal,
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results for such
periods.  The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results for the full year.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999.

2.  Accounting for Derivatives

         Gains or losses on forward exchange contracts that function as an
economic hedge against currency fluctuation effects on future revenue streams
are recorded in "Other expense, net".

         Gains or losses on forward exchange contracts that are designated a
hedge of a foreign operation's net assets and/or long-term intercompany loans
are recorded in "Translation adjustments", a separate component of
shareholders' equity.  These contracts reduce the risk of currency exposure on
foreign currency net assets and do not exceed the foreign currency amount being
hedged.  To the extent the above criteria are not met, or the related assets
are sold, extinguished, or terminated, activity associated with such hedges is
recorded in "Other expense, net".

         All open positions on forward exchange contracts are valued at fair
value using the estimated forward  rate of a matching contract.

         Gains or losses on futures contracts have been recorded in "Other
expense, net".  Open positions have been valued at fair value using quoted
market rates.

         Gains or losses on interest rate swap agreements, that are entered
into to hedge part of the Company's interest rate exposure, are recorded in
"Interest expense, net".  Unrealized gains or losses related to changes in the
fair value of the contracts are not recognized.

         In June 1998, Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", was issued and amended in June
2000 by Financial Accounting Standard No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities".  These Standards
establish a new model for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities.
All derivatives will be required to be recognized as either assets or
liabilities and measured at fair value.  Each hedging relationship must be
designated and accounted for pursuant to this Standard.  Since the Company
already records forward exchange and futures contracts at fair value, this
Standard is not expected to have a material effect on the accounting for these
transactions.  Interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges will be
measured at fair value with the initial asset or liability recognized in
"Other comprehensive income".  Subsequently, amounts will be reclassified to
"Interest expense, net" in accordance with this Standard.  The Company plans to
adopt this Standard on its effective date of January 1, 2001.

3.  Other Expense, Net

         Included in other expense, net for the six months ended June 30 are:
currency transactions, $0.2 million income in 2000 and $2.0 million income in
1999; amortization of debt issuance costs and loan origination fees, $1.2
million in 2000 and $0.5 million in 1999 and other miscellaneous expenses, none
of which are significant in 2000 and 1999.

<PAGE>


         Included in other expense, net for the three months ended June 30 are:
currency transactions,  $0.2 million expense in 2000 and $1.1 million income in
1999; amortization of debt issuance costs and loan origination fees, $0.6
million in 2000 and $0.3 million in 1999 and other miscellaneous expenses, none
of which are significant, in 2000 and 1999.

4.  Earnings Per Share

         Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per share includes the effect of all potentially dilutive
securities.

         The amounts used in computing earnings per share, including the effect
on income and the weighted average number of shares of potentially dilutive
securities, are as follows:

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

                  For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2000

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Net sales increased to $213.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000
as compared to $175.8 million for the same period in 1999.  The effect of the
stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the second quarter of 1999 was to decrease
net sales by $5.8 million.  Acquisitions made in 1999 added $35.0 million to
second quarter 2000 net sales.  Excluding these two factors, 2000 net sales
were up 4.5% as compared to 1999.

Net sales increased to $428.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to $357.4 million for the same period in 1999.  The effect of the
stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the first half of 1999 was to decrease net
sales by $10.3 million.  Acquisitions made in 1999 added $68.3 million to 2000
net sales.  Excluding these two factors, 2000 net sales were up 3.7% as
compared to 1999.

Geographically, net sales in the second quarter, excluding the effect of
acquisitions, were down 3.6% in the United States, bringing the year to date
decrease to 1.6% as compared to 1999.  Invoiced trade sales in Canada increased
1.0% for the first half of 2000 as compared to 1999.  Sales in Korea and China
were higher in 2000, as compared to 1999.  European sales increased in local
currencies and were down in U.S. dollars.

Gross profit was 40.0% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to 41.9% for the same period in 1999 bringing the six month result to
40.3% for 2000 as compared to 41.6% for 1999.  Excluding the effect of the
stronger U.S.dollar and acquisitions, gross profit was 42.1% of net sales in
the second quarter and 41.8% in the first six months of 2000. Year to date
variable costs as a percent of net sales were 34.7% in 2000 and 1999.
Excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar and acquisitions, variable
costs as a percent of net sales were 33.7% in 2000.

Selling, technical, general and research expenses, excluding the effect of the
stronger U.S. dollar and acquisitions, were down 1.4% for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999.

Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased to 13.0% for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from 11.8% for the comparable period in 1999 due to
items discussed above.  Excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar and
acquisitions, operating income as a percentage of net sales was 13.5% in 2000.

Previously announced cost reduction initiatives continued on schedule during
the first half of the year.  Equipment relocations are proceeding on schedule.
The full impact of the $50 million cost reduction program will be realized in
2001. The Company has closed five manufacturing plants and reduced its
worldwide workforce by 9 percent since the beginning of 1999. Expenditures for
equipment relocations and asset write-offs were approximately $4.8 million in
the first six months of 2000 and are expected to be approximately $9 million
for the full year.


                                        7
<PAGE>

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased $12.0 million
as compared to the same period in 1999.  This increase was due to higher debt
and interest rates during the period due principally to acquisitions made in
1999.

The tax rate for the first six months of 2000 was 43% as compared to 39% for
the comparable period in 1999.  The increase was principally due to
non-deductible items related to the Geschmay acquisition.  The tax rate for the
full year is currently undetermined as tax planning strategies are being
evaluated which could have the effect of reducing the tax rate by the end of
the year.

Reasons for the changes in operating results for the three month period ended
June 30, 2000 as compared to the corresponding period in 1999 are similar to
those which affected the six month comparisons, except where specifically noted.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Accounts receivable decreased $11.7 million since December 31, 1999.  Excluding
the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar, accounts receivable decreased $4.6
million.  Inventories increased $0.9 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2000. Excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar, inventories
increased $6.1 million.

During the first six months of 2000, total debt decreased $41.0 million.  The
Company's current debt structure, which is mostly floating-rate, currently
provides approximately $230 million in committed and available unused debt
capacity with financial institutions. Management believes that this debt
capacity, in combination with informal commitments and expected free cash
flows, should be sufficient to meet anticipated operating requirements and
normal business opportunities which support corporate strategies.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2000, including the
capitalized value of required capital leases, were $18.5 million as compared to
$10.7 million for the same period last year.  The Company anticipates that
capital expenditures, including leases, will be approximately $35 million for
the full year and will continue to finance these expenditures with cash
from operations and existing credit facilities.

In June 1998, Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", was issued and amended in June 2000 by
Financial Accounting Standard No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities".  These Standards establish a new
model for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities.  All derivatives
will be required to be recognized as either assets or liabilities and measured
at fair value.  Each hedging relationship must be designated and accounted for
pursuant to this Standard.  Since the Company already records forward
exchange and futures contracts at fair value, this Standard is not expected to
have a material effect on the accounting for these transactions.  Interest rate
swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges will be measured at fair value with the
initial asset or liability recognized in "Other comprehensive income".
Subsequently, amounts will be reclassified to "Interest expense, net"
in accordance with this Standard.  The Company plans to adopt this Standard on
its effective date of January 1, 2001.

impact of actions upon future earnings, industry trends, debt capacity, capital
expenditures, taxes, operating efficiency and profitability.  Actual future
events and circumstances (including future performance, results and trends)

joint venture, operating, capital, global integration and other projects,
changes in currency exchange rates, changes in general economic and competitive
conditions, technological developments, and other risks and uncertainties,
