                                (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Financial Statements

     The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1996 and the consolidated
statements of earnings and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31,
1996 and April 2, 1995 have been prepared by the Company, without audit.  In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows at March 31, 1996 and for all periods presented,
have been made.  All financial information has been restated for discontinued
operations, which includes the D-M-E Company ("DME") and Fairchild Data
Corporation ("Data").  The balance sheet at June 30, 1995 was also condensed
from audited financial statements as of that date.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  These consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's June 30, 1995 Form 
10-K and Banner Aerospace, Inc.'s March 31, 1995 Form 10-K.  The results of
operations for the period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the full year.  Certain amounts in prior years'
quarterly financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
current presentation.

Note 2 - Merger Agreement

     The Company, Fairchild Industries, Inc. ("FII," the Company's
subsidiary), and The Fairchild Corporation ("TFC," the Company's parent),
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 9, 1995 (as
amended, the "Merger Agreement") with Shared Technologies Inc. ("STI").  On
March 13, 1996, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, STI succeeded to the
telecommunications systems and services business operated by the Company's
Fairchild Communications Services Company ("FCSC").

     The transaction was effected by a Merger of FII with and into  STI (the
"Merger") with the resulting company named Shared Technologies Fairchild Inc.
("STFI").  Prior to the Merger, FII transferred all of its assets to, and all
of its liabilities were assumed by the Company, or the Company's continuing
subsidiaries, except for the assets and liabilities of FCSC, and $223,500,000
of the FII's existing debt and preferred stock consisting of (i) the
$44,027,000 liquidation value of the outstanding Series A and Series C
Preferred Stock of FII, (ii) the $125,000,000 principal amount outstanding of
FII 12 1/4% Senior Notes due 1999 (the "Senior Notes"), and (iii) an amount
of bank and other indebtedness of approximately $54,473,000 (the "Assumed
Indebtedness").  As part of the Merger Agreement, FII made a cash tender
offer to purchase all of the outstanding Senior Notes and obtained such
Noteholders' consent to amend the indenture under which the Senior Notes were
issued to remove all covenants which could be amended or deleted by majority
vote (the "Tender Offer") (see Note 5).  Pursuant to the Merger, an amount
sufficient to redeem the Series A and Series C Preferred Stock at their
liquidation value ($45.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends) was
placed with Chemical Mellon Shareholder Services as Escrow Agent.  Also as
part of the Merger, STFI, (i) purchased the $125,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of Senior Notes tendered pursuant to the aforesaid Tender Offer and
(ii) repaid the Assumed Indebtedness in full.

     As a result of the Merger, the Company received (i) 6,000,000  shares of
Common Stock of STFI (representing approximately 41% of the outstanding
shares after giving effect to such issuance), (ii) shares of 6% Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock of STFI having an aggregate liquidation
preference of $25,000,000 (subject to upward adjustment), recorded at a fair
value of $20,500,000, and which are convertible into Common Stock of STFI at
a conversion price of $6.375 per share (which, if converted, would represent,
together with the other Common Stock issued to the Company, approximately 42%
of the Common Stock of STFI on a fully diluted basis), and (iii) shares of a
Special Preferred Stock having an initial liquidation preference of
$20,000,000 (which could accrue up to a maximum of $30,000,000 over a ten-
year period, if not redeemed earlier), recorded at a fair value of
$8,500,000.  In connection with its stock ownership, TFC and the Company will
have the right to elect four of the eleven members of the Board of Directors
of STFI and have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell any of
STFI's shares for a two-year period.

     The Merger was structured as a reorganization under section 368(a)(1)(A)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The Company recorded a
$162,859,000 non-recurring gain in the third quarter of Fiscal 1996 from this
transaction.

Note 3 - Discontinued Operations

     During the Fiscal 1996 second quarter, FII adopted a formal plan to sell
the DME, a mold equipment manufacturer, and Data, a satellite communications
company.

     On February 22, 1996, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated
January 26, 1996 (the "closing date"), the Company, through its subsidiaries,
completed the sale of certain assets, liabilities and the business of DME to
Cincinnati Milacron Inc. ("CMI") for a sales price of approximately
$244,331,000, as adjusted.  The sales price consists of $74,000,000 in cash,
and two 8% promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$170,331,000.  The promissory notes mature one year following the closing
date; provided that the Company may require prepayment of, and CMI may at its
option, prepay such notes after the six-month anniversary of the closing
date.

     As a result of the sale of DME, the Company recorded a gain on disposal
of discontinued operations, of approximately $61,338,000, net of a
$56,235,000 tax provision, in the quarter ended March 31, 1996.


     On January 27, 1996, FII completed the sale of Data to SSE Telecom, Inc.
("SSE") for book value of approximately $4,400,000 and 100,000 shares of
SSE's common stock valued at $9.0625 per share, or $906,000, at January 26,
1996, and warrants to purchase an additional 50,000 shares of SSE's common
stock at $11.09 per share.  In addition, the Company has an opportunity to
earn an additional 100,000 shares based on the future performance of SSE
during the twelve months following the date of sale.  There was no material
gain or loss from this transaction.

     Accordingly, DME and Data have been accounted for as discontinued
operations and the prior periods financial statements have been restated to
reflect the discontinuance of these companies.  The  combined net sales of
DME and Data totaled $16,789,000 and $47,773,000 for the third quarter of
Fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $108,131,000 and $134,341,000 for the
first nine months of Fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The components of
net assets of discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheet are
as follows:

Note 4 - Transfer of Division to Banner Aerospace

     Effective February 25, 1996, the Company completed a transfer of the
Company's Harco Division ("Harco") to Banner Aerospace, Inc. ("Banner") in
exchange for 5,386,477 shares of Banner common stock.  The exchange has
increased the Company's ownership of Banner common stock from approximately
47.2% to 59.3%, resulting in the Company becoming the majority shareholder of
Banner.  There was no significant gain or loss from this transaction. 
Accordingly, the Company consolidated Banner on February 25, 1996.  Banner is
a leading international supplier to the aerospace industry as a distributor,
providing a wide range of aircraft parts and related support services.  Harco
is a distributor of precision fasteners to the aerospace industry.


Note 5 - Tender Offer

     On March 13, 1995, FII consummated the Tender Offer and purchased for
cash, upon terms and subject to conditions set forth in an Offer to Purchase
and Consent Solicitations and related Letter of Transmittal (the "Offer to
Purchase") dated as of December 22, 1995, all $125,000,000 of the Senior
Notes.  Terms of the Tender Offer, as amended and restated, required a
purchase price of $1,063.90 per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Notes
and accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the payment date. 
During the Tender Offer period, FII received consents solicited (the "Tender
Offer Consent Solicitation") of the holders of the Senior Notes to (i) the
adoption of the proposed amendments to the indenture pursuant to which the
Senior Notes were issued (the "Indenture"), and (ii) the release of the
collateral securing FII's obligations under the Senior Notes and the
Indenture, upon terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

     In addition, independent of the Tender Offer and the Tender Offer
Consent Solicitation, FII also solicited and received consents to the waiver
of any and all violations of the Indenture arising out of or relating to (i)
the transfer by VSI Corporation ("VSI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FII, of
the stock of Harco to Banner (see Note 4), and (ii) the sale by VSI of DME to
CMI (see Note 3).

     As part of the consummation of the Tender Offer, FII paid holders of
Senior Notes who validly tendered Senior Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer
and Consent Solicitations a consent fee of $25.00 per $1,000 principal amount
of Senior Notes tendered.  FII paid an early consent fee consisting of $5.00
per $1,000 principal amount to holders of Senior Notes who on or prior to
January 19, 1996, validly tendered their shares.

Note 6 - Acquisitions

     On September 9, 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding Common
Stock of Scandinavian Bellyloading Company AB ("SBC").  SBC is the designer
and manufacturer of patented cargo loading systems, which are installed in
the cargo area of commercial aircraft.  Several major airlines are expected
to equip existing fleets with the SBC system over the next three to four
years.  The Company reports the results of SBC as part of its Industrial
Products segment.

     On November 28, 1994, FCSC completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the telecommunications assets of JWP Telecom, Inc. ("JWP") for
approximately $11,000,000, plus the assumption of approximately $4,000,000 of
liabilities.  The Company recorded $5,595,000 in goodwill as a result of this
acquisition.  JWP is a telecommunications system integrator, specializing in
the distribution, installation and maintenance of voice and data
communications equipment.  In the first quarter of Fiscal 1995, Fairchild
Communications acquired all the shared telecommunications assets of Eaton &
Lauth Co., Inc., for approximately $550,000.  Approximately $300,000 of the
acquisition price was recorded as goodwill.


     Proforma financial statements would not be material for the SBC
acquisition and are not required for the acquisitions by FCSC.

Note 7 - Pro forma Financial Statements

     The Following unaudited pro forma information for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996 and April 2, 1995, provides the results of the Company's
operations as though (i) the disposition of DME and Data, (ii) the Merger of
FCS, and (iii) the transfer of Harco to Banner, resulting in the
consolidation of Banner, had been in effect since the beginning of each
period.  The pro forma information is based on the historical financial
statements of the Company, DME, FCSC and Banner, giving effect to the
forementioned transactions.  In preparing the pro forma data, certain
assumptions and adjustments have been made which (i) reduce interest expense
for revised debt structures, (ii) increase interest income for notes
receivable, (iii) reduce minority interest from the Series C Preferred Stock
of FII being redeemed, and (iv) adjust equity in earnings of affiliates to
include the estimated results of STFI.

     The following unaudited pro forma financial information are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have
occurred if the transactions had been in effect since the beginning of each
period, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of the Company.

Note 8 - Restructuring Charges

     During the nine months ended March 31, 1996, the Company's Aerospace
Fasteners Segment recorded restructuring charges of $965,000 for severance
pay to employees terminated, and $279,000 relating to the closing of a small
subsidiary located in Japan.

Note 9 - Early Extinguishment of Debt

     During the nine months ended March 31, 1996, the Company used the Merger
transaction and cash available to retire fully all of the Senior Notes, FII's
9 3/4% subordinated debentures due 1998, and bank loans under VSI's credit
agreement.  The redemption of the Senior Notes at a premium, consent fees
paid to holders of the Senior Notes, the write off of the original issue
discount on FII 9 3/4% subordinated debentures and the write off of the
remaining deferred loan fees associated with the issuance of the debt
retired, resulted in an extraordinary loss of $10,436,000, net of a
$5,620,000 tax benefit.

Note 10 - Summarized Statement of Earnings Information

     On January 18, 1995, the Company purchased approximately a 26.7%
ownership interest in Nacanco common stock for $13,000,000 from TFC.  The
Company recorded equity earnings of $2,611,000  and $514,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 and April 2, 1995, respectively, from this
investment.  Equity earnings prior to the stock purchase were recorded by
TFC.

     Since March 13, 1996, as a result of the Merger in which the Company
received a 41% interest in STFI, the Company is accounting for its investment
in STFI using the equity method.  Prior to March 13, 1996, the Company
consolidated the results of FCSC, which was merged into STFI (see Note 2). 
The Company recorded an estimated equity loss of $60,000 during the nine
months ended March 31, 1996, from the investment in STFI.

     On March 31, 1996, the Company's carrying value of its investments in
STFI consisted of (i) $20,500,000 for the Convertible Preferred Stock, and
(ii) $8,500,000 for the Special Preferred Stock.  The Company did not record
a carrying value for 6,000,000 shares of common stock of STFI.  At the close
of trading on March 29, 1996, STFI's common stock was quoted at $5.375 per
share.  Based on this price, the Company's investment in STFI common stock
has an approximate market value of $32,250,000.

     Effective February 25, 1996, the Company increased its percentage of
ownership of Banner common stock from 47.2% to approximately 59.3%.  Since
February 25, 1996, the Company is consolidating Banner's results.  Prior to
February 25, 1996, the Company accounted for its investment in Banner using
the equity method and held its investment in Banner as a part of investments
and advances-affiliated companies.  The Company recorded equity earnings of
$430,000 and $1,627,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and April 2,
1995, respectively, from this investment.


    In connection with the Company's December 23, 1993 sale of its interest
in Rexnord Corporation to BTR Dunlop Holdings, Inc. ("BTR"), the Company
placed shares of Banner, with a fair market value of $5,000,000, in escrow to
secure the Company's remaining indemnification of BTR against a contingent
liability.  Once the contingent liability is resolved the escrow will be
released.

     The Company had approximately $4,463,000 and $545,000 of restricted cash
on March 31, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively, all of which is maintained
as collateral for certain debt facilities.

Note 12 - Credit Agreements

     On March 13, 1996, in connection with the Merger, the Company replaced
VSI Corporation's credit agreement with a new credit agreement at a newly
formed subsidiary, Fairchild Holding Corporation ("FHC").  The new credit
agreement provides FHC with a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility and a
$30,000,000 term loan, both of which generally bear interest at 1/2% over the
prime rate.  The revolving credit facility is subject to a non-use fee of
1/2% of the unused availability.  Substantially all of FHC's assets are
pledged as collateral under the new credit agreement.  The new credit
agreement matures on July 29, 1996.

     FHC's credit agreement requires compliance with certain financial loan
covenants, including achieving a minimum of cumulative earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization  ("EBITDA Covenant") at March
31, 1996, and maintaining a certain interest ratio coverage at specified
periods.  Additionally, the credit agreement restricts FHC's capital
expenditures during the term of the agreement to $6,000,000, in the
aggregate.  The Company has remained in compliance with these covenants since
the inception of the new credit agreement.

     Banner has a credit agreement ("Banner's Credit Agreement") which
provides Banner and its subsidiaries with a $55,000,000 term loan and a
$71,500,000 revolving credit facility, both of which initially bear interest
at prime plus 1 1/4% or London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2 1/2%. 
Borrowings under both the prime rate and LIBOR may increase by 1/4% or
decrease by up to 1% based upon certain performance criteria.  Banner's
performance level at December 31, 1995, resulted in a 1/4% interest rate
reduction for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  Banner's term loan requires
certain semiannual loan payments. Banner's revolving credit facility is
subject to a non-use fee of 1/2% of the unused availability.  Substantially
all of Banner's assets are pledged as collateral under Banner's Credit
Agreement.  Banners's Credit Agreement matures August 2001.

     Banner's Credit Agreement requires quarterly compliance with  various
financial and non-financial loan covenants, including maintaining a minimum
net worth, and minimum ratios of interest coverage, fixed charge coverage,
and debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. 
Banner also has certain limitations on the incurrence of additional debt.  
Banner has remained in compliance with all covenants under its credit
agreement since the inception of its credit agreement.

    Banner has several interest rate hedge agreements ("Hedge Agreements") to
manage its exposure to increases in interest rates on its variable rate debt. 
The Hedge Agreements provide interest rate protection on $60,000,000 of debt
through September 2000, by providing for a cap of 7% if the 90-day LIBOR rate
exceeds 7%.  If the 90-day LIBOR rate drops below 5%, Banner will be required
to pay a floor rate of approximately 6%.

Note 13 - Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries

     The Company is including $57,949,000 of minority interest in its balance
sheet at March 31, 1996, representing approximately 9,518,106 shares of
Banner's common stock effectively outstanding on a consolidated basis.

     The Company included $23,804,000 of minority interest on its balance
sheet at June 30, 1995, representing by 553,460 shares of Series C Preferred
Stock of FII.  The Series C Preferred Stock was assumed by STFI and redeemed
entirely as part of the Merger.  (See Note 2).

Note 14 - Redeemable Preferred Stock of Subsidiary

     The Company classified 553,460 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of FII
as a long-term liability at June 30, 1995. The Series A Preferred Stock was
assumed by STFI and redeemed entirely as part of the Merger.  (See Note 2).

Note 15 - Dividend Paid to Parent

     During the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and April 2, 1995, the
Company paid to TFC cash dividends of $35,481,000 and $10,000,000,
respectively. In the Fiscal 1996 period, the Company also paid to TFC noncash
dividends of $25,971,000, which was represented by the Company's investment
in TFC 12 1/4% Senior Debentures due March 15, 1996.

Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies

Government Claims
- -----------------

     The Corporate Administrative Contracting Officer (the "ACO"), based upon
the advice of the United States Defense Contract Audit Agency, has made a
determination that FII did not comply with Federal Acquisition Regulations
and Cost Accounting Standards, in accounting for (i) the 1985 reversion to
FII of certain assets of terminated defined benefit pension plans, and (ii)
pension costs upon the closing of segments of FII's business.  The ACO has
directed FII to prepare a cost impact proposal relating to such plan
terminations and segment closings and, following receipt of such cost impact
proposal, may seek adjustments to contract prices.  The ACO alleges that
substantial amounts will be due if such adjustments are made. The Company
believes it has properly accounted for the asset reversions in accordance
with applicable accounting standards.  The Company has held discussions with
the government to attempt to resolve these pension accounting issues.


Environmental Matters
- ---------------------

     The Company and other aerospace fastener and industrial product
manufacturers are subject to stringent Federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations concerning, among other things, the discharge of
materials into the environment and the generation, handling, storage,
transportation and disposal of waste and hazardous materials.  To date, such
laws and regulations have not had a material effect on the financial
condition, results of operations, or net cash flows of the Company, although
the Company has expended, and can be expected to expend in the future,
significant amounts for investigation of environmental conditions and
installation of environmental control facilities, remediation of
environmental conditions and other similar matters, particularly in the
Aerospace Fasteners segment.

     In connection with its plans to dispose of certain real estate, the
Company must investigate environmental conditions and may be required to take
certain corrective action prior or pursuant to any such disposition.  In
addition, management has identified several areas of potential contamination
at or from other facilities owned, or previously owned, by the Company, that
may require the Company either to take corrective action or to contribute to
a clean-up.  The Company is also a defendant in certain lawsuits and
proceedings seeking to require the Company to pay for investigation or
remediation of environmental matters and has been alleged to be a potentially
responsible party at various "Superfund" sites.  Management of the Company
believes that it has recorded adequate reserves in its financial statements
to complete such investigation and take any necessary corrective actions or
make any necessary contributions.  No amounts have been recorded as due from
third parties, including insurers, or set off against, any liability of the
Company, unless such parties are contractually obligated to contribute and
are not disputing such liability.

     As of March 31, 1996, the consolidated total recorded liabilities of the
Company for environmental matters totalled $12,255,000, which represented the
estimated probable exposures for these matters.  It is reasonably possible
that the Company's total exposure for these matters could be approximately
$21,038,000.

Other Matters
- -------------

     The Company is involved in various other claims and lawsuits incidental
to its business, some of which involve substantial amounts.  The Company,
either on its own or through its insurance carriers, is contesting these
matters.

     In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of the legal
proceedings, including those discussed above, will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition, or future results of operations or
net cash flows of the Company.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- -------------------------------------------------
    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
    ---------------------------------------------

     Item 2 of Form 10-Q is omitted in accordance with General Instruction
H(i)(a) and (b), Omission of Information by Certain Wholly-Owned
Subsidiaries.  Management's narrative analysis of the results of operations
is furnished in lieu thereof:

MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------

     RHI Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly known as Rexnord Holdings
Inc., is essentially a holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware. 
It has two principal operating subsidiaries, Fairchild Holding Corporation
("FHC") and Banner Aerospace, Inc. ("Banner").  The Company is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Fairchild Corporation ("TFC").  The Company also holds a
significant equity interest in Shared Technologies Fairchild, Inc. ("STFI")
and Nacanco Paketleme ("Nacanco").

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     The Company, Fairchild Industries, Inc. ("FII," the company's former
subsidiary), and The Fairchild Corporation ("TFC," the Company's parent),
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 9, 1995 (as
amended, the "Merger Agreement") with Shared Technologies Inc. ("STI").  On
March 13, 1996, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, STI succeeded to the
telecommunications systems and services business operated by the Company's
Fairchild Communications Services Company ("FCSC").

     The transaction was effected by a Merger of FII with and into  STI (the
"Merger") with the resulting company named STFI.  Prior to the Merger, FII
transferred all of its assets to, and all of its liabilities were assumed by
the Company, or the Company's continuing subsidiaries, except for the assets
and liabilities of FCSC, and $223.5 million of the FII's existing debt and
preferred stock consisting of (i) the $44.0 million liquidation value of the
outstanding Series A and Series C Preferred Stock of FII, (ii) the $125.0
million principal amount outstanding of FII 12 1/4% Senior Notes due 1999
(the "Senior Notes"), and (iii) an amount of bank and other indebtedness of
approximately $54.5 million (the "Assumed Indebtedness").  As part of the
Merger Agreement, FII made a cash tender offer to purchase all of the
outstanding Senior Notes and obtained such Noteholders' consent to amend the
indenture under which the Senior Notes were issued to remove all covenants
which could be amended or deleted by majority vote (the "Tender Offer"). 
Pursuant to the Merger, an amount sufficient to redeem the Series A and
Series C Preferred Stock at their liquidation value ($45.00 per share plus
accrued and unpaid dividends) was placed with Chemical Mellon Shareholder
Services as Escrow Agent.  Also as part of the Merger, STFI, (i) purchased
the $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes tendered
pursuant to the aforesaid tender offer and (ii) repaid the Assumed
Indebtedness in full.

     As a result of the Merger, the Company received (i) 6,000,000  shares of
Common Stock of STFI (representing approximately 41% of the outstanding
shares after giving effect to such issuance), (ii) shares of 6% Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock of STFI having an aggregate liquidation
preference of $25.0 million (subject to upward adjustment) and which are
convertible into Common Stock of STFI at a conversion price of $6.375 per
share (which, if converted, would represent, together with the other Common
Stock issued to the Company, approximately 42% of the Common Stock of STFI on
a fully diluted basis), and (iii) shares of a Special Preferred Stock having
an initial liquidation preference of $20.0 million (which could accrue up to
a maximum of $30.0 million over a ten-year period, if not redeemed earlier). 
(See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)   In connection
with its stock ownership, TFC and the Company will have the right to elect
four of the eleven members of the Board of Directors of STFI and have agreed,
subject to certain exceptions, not to sell any of STFI's shares for a two-
year period.

     The Merger was structured as a reorganization under section 368(a)(1)(A)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The Company recorded a
$162.9 million non-recurring gain in the third quarter of Fiscal 1996 from
this transaction.

     On February 22, 1996, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated
January 26, 1996 (the "closing date"), the Company, through its subsidiaries,
completed the sale of certain assets,  liabilities and the business of the 
D-M-E Company ("DME") to Cincinnati Milacron Inc. ("CMI") for a sales price
of approximately $244.3 million as adjusted.  The sales price consists of
$74.0 million in cash, and two 8% promissory notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $170.3 million.  The promissory notes mature one year following the
closing date; provided that the Company may require prepayment of, and CMI
may, at its option, prepay such notes after the six-month anniversary of the
closing date.

     As a result of the sale of DME, the Company recorded an after-tax gain
on disposal of discontinued operations of approximately $61.3 million in the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.

     On January 27, 1996, FII completed the sale of Fairchild Data
Corporation ("Data") to SSE Telecom, Inc. ("SSE") for book value of
approximately $4.4 million and 100,000 shares of SSE's common stock valued at
$9.0625 per share, or $.9 million, at January 26, 1996, and warrants to
purchase an additional 50,000 shares of SSE's common stock at $11.09 per
share.  In addition, the Company has an opportunity to earn an additional
100,000 shares based on the future performance of SSE during the twelve
months following the date of sale.  There was no material gain or loss from
this transaction.

     Accordingly, DME and Data have been accounted for as discontinued
operations and the prior periods financial statements have been restated to
reflect the discontinuance of these companies.  The  combined net sales of
DME and Data totaled $16.8 million and $47.8 million for the third quarter of
Fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $108.1 million and $134.3 million for
the first nine months of Fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.


     Effective February 25, 1996, the Company completed a transfer of the
Company's Harco Division ("Harco") to Banner in exchange for 5,386,477 shares
of Banner common stock.  The exchange has increased the Company's ownership
of Banner common stock from approximately 47.2% to 59.3%, resulting in the
Company becoming the majority shareholder of Banner.  Accordingly, the
Company consolidated Banner on February 25, 1996.  Banner is a leading
international supplier to the aerospace industry as a distributor, providing
a wide range of aircraft parts and related support services.  Harco is a
distributor of precision fasteners to the aerospace industry.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company currently operates in four principal business segments: 
Aerospace Fasteners, Aerospace Distribution, Industrial Products and
Communications Services.  Set forth below is a comparison of the results from
continuing operations of the Company for the three and nine month periods
ended March 31, 1996 and April 2, 1995.

* The Aerospace Fasteners and the Industrial Products segments were restated
for the transfer of the Gas Springs division from the Aerospace Fasteners
segment to the Industrial Products segment.  The Industrial Products segment
was also restated for the sale of DME and Data, which are being reported as
discontinued operations.

** Effective March 13, 1996, the Company's investment in the Communications
Services segment was recorded using the equity method.
/TABLE
<PAGE>
General
- -------

     Overall sales from continuing operations increased by 33.0% in the third
quarter and 31.8% for the Fiscal 1996 nine month period, compared to sales
for the same periods in Fiscal 1995.  Operating income from continuing
operations increased $4.7 million in the third quarter and $13.0 million in
the Fiscal 1996 nine month period, compared to operating income for the same
periods in Fiscal 1995.  The net increase in both sales and operating income
reflects the inclusion of one month of sales and operating income from
Banner, consolidated effective February 25, 1996, offset partially by the
deconsolidation of FCSC effective March 13, 1996, as a result of the Merger
with STI.   (See discussion below).

Aerospace Fasteners
- -------------------

     Sales in the Aerospace Fasteners segment increased $2.4 million or 4.3%
in the third quarter and increased $6.5 million or 4.1% in the Fiscal 1996
nine month period, compared to the corresponding Fiscal 1995 periods,
reflecting moderate growth in this industry.  New orders have been strong in
recent months.

     Operating income in the Aerospace Fasteners segment increased $3.4
million in the third quarter and $5.9 million in the Fiscal 1996 nine month
period, compared to the Fiscal 1995 periods.  The Fiscal 1995 periods
included income from business interruption insurance resulting from the loss
sustained in the January 1994 earthquake.  This segment continues to be
affected by soft demand, competitive pricing conditions and higher quality
control costs resulting from customers' requirements.  Management will
continue to implement productivity improvements and reduce costs to bring the
breakeven point in line with demand, particularly in its U.S. operations.  A
$1.2 million restructuring charge was recorded in the Fiscal 1996 nine
months, primarily for severance pay to employees terminated as a result of
further downsizing and for the close down of a small subsidiary located in
Japan.

Aerospace Distribution
- ----------------------

     As a result of the transfer of Harco to Banner effective February 25,
1996, the Company recorded five weeks of sales and operating income of Banner
including the Harco division for five weeks, as part of the Aerospace
distribution Segment.  This segment reported $35.7 million in sales and $.7
million in operating income for this five week period ended March 31, 1996.

     As a result of the transfer of Harco to Banner, effective February 25,
1996, Harco's sales and operating income for the five weeks ended March 31,
1996, are now being reported as part of the Aerospace Distribution segment. 
The first eight months of Harco's sales and operating income are included in
the Aerospace Fasteners Segment.


Industrial Products
- -------------------

    Sales in the Industrial Products segment increased $4.2 million or 32.0%
in the third quarter and $27.3 million or 99.5% in the first nine months of
Fiscal 1996, compared to the same periods in Fiscal 1995.  $25.2 million of
this sales increase is attributable to the performance of Fairchild
Technologies which includes Fairchild Convac, a semiconductor equipment
manufacturer which had a strong nine months performance resulting from the
shipment of orders included in the prior year end backlog.  This was compared
to a very slow Fiscal 1995 first nine months, which was the first nine month
period following the acquisition of Fairchild Convac.

     Operating income in the Industrial Products segment decreased $.5
million in the third quarter, primarily the result of increased costs being
incurred to expand the sales and service organization of Fairchild
Technologies.  Year-to-date operating income increased $4.8 million in the
first nine months of Fiscal 1996, compared to the same periods in Fiscal
1995.  $3.6 million of this net increase was contributed by Fairchild
Technologies, primarily the result of its increase in sales.

Communications Services
- -----------------------

     Sales in the Communications Services segment decreased 23.8% in the
third quarter and increased 18.6% in the Fiscal 1996 first nine month period,
compared with the same periods in Fiscal 1995.  The decrease in the current
third quarter is primarily due to recording only ten weeks of operating
results in the current quarter compared to thirteen weeks of operating
results in the prior period quarter as a result of the March 13, 1996 merger
of the Communications Services segment with STI.  The nine month increase is
primarily due to the inclusion of $36.5 million of sales in the first nine
months of Fiscal 1996 from the JWP Telecom, Inc. ("JWP") acquisition made
during the Fiscal 1995 second quarter, as well as sales to new customers, the
addition of telecommunications franchises in new office buildings, and growth
at existing sites.

     Operating income in the Communications Services segment decreased 7.7%
in the third quarter and increased 8.4% during the nine months period of
Fiscal 1996, compared to the same period in Fiscal 1995.  The decrease in the
current quarter is due to recording only ten weeks of operating results in
the current quarter compared to thirteen weeks of operating results in the
prior period quarter as a result of the Merger mentioned above.

Other Expense/Income
- --------------------

     Corporate administrative expense - FHC's and TFC's staff perform work on
behalf of the Company, which is charged out monthly based on the estimated
level of effort.  Corporate administrative expense decreased 12.1% in the
current third quarter and increased 6.0% in the nine month period of Fiscal
1996, compared to the same periods in the prior year.  The decrease in the
current quarter was primarily due to a large amount of legal expenses being
recorded in the prior year third quarter.  The increase for the nine month
period was primarily due to the increased staff involvement on behalf of the
Company and its subsidiaries to negotiate and complete the sales of
operations (DME and Data), the Merger of FII into STI and the transfer of
Harco to Banner.  Management believes that the corporate administrative
expense of the Company would be higher if it operated as a separate
independent entity.

     Other corporate income increased $1.2 million in the third quarter and
$.9 million in the first nine months of Fiscal 1996, compared to the same
periods in the prior year, primarily due to a favorable settlement on a
bankruptcy case.

     Net interest expense decreased 29.0% in the third quarter and 5.4% in
the Fiscal 1996 first nine months, compared to the Fiscal 1995 periods,
primarily the result of interest income earned on the $170.3 million note
receivable resulting from the sale of DME during the Fiscal 1996 period.

     Investment income, net was higher in the third quarter of Fiscal 1996,
principally as a result of recording unrealized gains from the fair market
value adjustments of investments classified as trading securities.

     Equity in earnings of affiliates increased $.9 million in the Fiscal
1996 first nine months compared to the prior year period.  The Fiscal 1996
first nine months includes a $2.1 million increase in equity earnings
provided by Nacanco, shares of which were purchased from TFC in January 1995.

     Minority interest expense primarily includes dividend expense on FII's
Series C Preferred Stock.

     Non-recurring income includes a $162.9 million nontaxable gain resulting
from the Merger.  Other non-recurring items include expenses associated with
the Harco transfer to Banner and expenses associated with alternative
financing options the Company had  considered.

     Income taxes - The tax benefit from the continuing operations loss,
excluding the nontaxable nonrecurring gain, was $1.9 million and lower than
the statutory rate, largely due to the amortization of goodwill, which is not
deductible for tax purposes.

     Earnings from discontinued operations, net, include the earnings, net of
tax, from DME and Data for all periods presented.

     The after tax gain on disposal of discontinued operations resulted
primarily from the sale of DME to CMI.

     Net earnings (loss) - The net earnings increased $223.7 million in the
first nine months of Fiscal 1996, compared to the first nine months of Fiscal
1995, primarily due to (i) the nontaxable $162.9 million non-recurring gain
from the Merger, (ii) the $61.3 million gain from the disposal of
discontinued operations, (iii) the $13.0 million increase in operating
income.  Partially offsetting these increases was a $10.4 million
extraordinary loss from the early extinguishment of debt.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Working capital at March 31, 1996, was $392.9 million, which was $251.1
million higher than at June 30, 1995.  The principal reasons for this
increase included a $170.3 million increase in notes receivable obtained from
the sale of DME.  In addition, due primarily to the consolidation of Banner
and the deconsolidation of FCSC, there was a net increase in accounts
receivable of $35.3 million and increase in inventory of $186.5 million (the
FCSC business, a telecommunication services business had virtually no
inventory).  Offsetting this increase in working capital were net increases
in accounts payable of $21.0 million and other accrued liabilities of $8.4
million, reflecting the consolidation of Banner and the deconsolidation of
FCSC.  The Company's current bank debt borrowings increased $64.3 million
reflecting the current debt on the new interim credit agreement at FHC
discussed below.  Net current assets of discontinued operations decreased
$34.7 million reflecting the sale of DME and Data.  Income tax payable
increased $12.2 million reflecting tax due, primarily the result of the DME
sale.

     The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from
operations and borrowings under its credit agreement.  The Company also
expects to generate cash from the sale of certain assets and liquidation of
investments.  Net assets held for sale at March 31, 1996, had a book value of
$44.4 million and included two parcels of real estate in California, a 68
acre parcel of real estate located in Farmingdale, New York, two landfills in
Pennsylvania, a real estate joint venture in California, and several other
parcels elsewhere, which the Company plans to sell, lease or develop, subject
to market conditions or, with respect to certain of the parcels, the
resolution of environmental matters.  Net assets held for sale decreased $5.4
million resulting from the sale of 20 acres of a larger parcel of real
estate, owned by the Company, in Farmingdale, New York.  The proceeds were
applied against the carrying value of this property.

     The Company's principal cash requirements include debt service, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, and payment of other liabilities.

     Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") decreased $43.1 million from June
30, 1995 as a result of deconsolidating FCSC and consolidating Banner.  At
March 13, 1996 FCSC had PP&E of $51.3 million which was deconsolidated, and
Banner had $13.1 million which was consolidated.

     Cost in excess of net assets acquired decreased $9.6 million primarily
from the deconsolidation of FCSC offset partially by the consolidation of
Banner and year to date amortization of goodwill amounting to $3.6 million.

     Investments and advances in affiliated companies decreased $12.7
million.  Changes in investments and advances in affiliates included (i) a
$53.9 million decrease resulting from the consolidation of Banner, in which
the Company's ownership percentage increased to 59.3%, (ii) a dividend of
$26.0 million of TFC bonds the Company owned ($16.7 million owned at June 30,
1995), (iii) recording a $26.2 million increase in the market value of the
Company's investment in TFC stock, (iv) recording a $29.0 million investment
from the Merger of FCS with STI in which the Company retained a 41% interest
in STFI, the merged company, and (v) recording equity earnings of $2.7
million during the nine months ended March 31, 1996.

     Other liabilities that require the use of cash include post-employment
benefits for retirees, environmental investigation and remediation
obligations, litigation settlements and related costs.

     The Company expects that cash on hand, cash generated from operations,
borrowings, and asset sales will be adequate to satisfy cash requirements. 
Management intends to take appropriate action to refinance portions of its
debt, if necessary to meet cash requirements.

     On March 13, 1996, in connection with the Merger, the Company replaced
VSI Corporation's credit agreement with a new credit agreement at FHC, a
newly formed subsidiary.  The new credit agreement provides FHC with a $50.0
million revolving credit facility and a $30.0 million term loan. 
Substantially all of FHC's assets are pledged as collateral under the new
credit agreement.  The new credit agreement matures on July 29, 1996.

     FHC's credit agreement requires compliance with certain financial loan
covenants, including achieving a minimum of cumulative earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization  ("EBITDA Covenant") at March
31, 1996, and maintaining a certain interest ratio coverage at specified
periods.  Additionally, the credit agreement restricts FHC's capital
expenditures during the term of the agreement to $6,000,000, in the
aggregate.  The Company has remained in compliance with these covenants since
the inception of the new credit agreement.

     FHC may transfer available cash as dividends to the Company.

     Banner has a credit agreement ("Banner's Credit Agreement") which
provides Banner and its subsidiaries with a $55.0 million term loan and a
$71.5 million revolving credit facility.  Substantially all of Banner's
assets are pledged as collateral under Banner's Credit Agreement.  Banners's
Credit Agreement matures August 2001.

     Banner's Credit Agreement requires quarterly compliance with  various
financial and non-financial loan covenants, including maintaining a minimum
net worth, and minimum ratios of interest coverage, fixed charge coverage,
and debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. 
Banner also has certain limitations on the incurrence of additional debt.  
Banner has remained in compliance with all covenants under its credit
agreement since the inception of its credit agreement.

IMPACT OF FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Accounting For The Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets
- --------------------------------------------------
And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of
- -------------------------------------------

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121") "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". 
SFAS 121 establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived
assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those
assets to be held and used, and for long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of.  SFAS 121 is required to be
implemented by the Company on, or before, July 1, 1996.  The Company's
present policy is identical to the policy prescribed by SFAS 121; therefore
there will be no effect from implementation.
