              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
        OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     Specialty Printing and Labeling.  As of March 31, 1996, the Specialty
Printing and Labeling group consisted of SPAI, Valmark, and Pamco.

Net sales increased $1.6 million or 10.2%.  Operating income decreased $.4
million or 96.6%.  The increase in sales was due to increased sales of
shielding devices and membrane switches at Valmark, $1.2 million and $.3
million, respectively, increased label sales at Pamco, $.2 million, and
increased sales of ad-specialty products at SPAI, $.3 million, partially offset
by a decrease in calendar sales at SPAI, $.3 million.  Operating margin
decreased to negative 4.4% from negative 2.5% due primarily to increased
medical insurance costs at SPAI.

     Motors and Gears.  As of March 31, 1996, the Motors and Gears group
consisted of Imperial, Scott, Gear, Merkle-Korff, and Colman Motor Products.

Net sales increased $18.3 million or 186.3% .  Operating income increased $4.5
million or 198.8%.  The increase in sales was due to the acquisition of Merkle-
Korff in September 1995 which added $14.3 million to the segment's net sales
and $3.5 million to operating income, and the acquisition of Colman Motor
Products in March 1996 which added $1.9 million to the segments net sales and
$.3 million to operating income.  In addition, sales of motors at Imperial
increased $2.0 million.  Operating margin increased to 24.1% from 23.1% due to
higher sales volumes and manufacturing efficiencies.

     Telecommunications Products.  As of March 31, 1996, the
Telecommunications Products group consisted of AIM, Cambridge, Johnson
Components and Dura-Line.

Net sales increased $4.7 million or 23.6%.  Operating income increased $1.1
million or 28.4%.  The sales increase was due to increased Innerduct sales at
Dura-Line, $1.4 million, and the acquisition of Johnson Components in January
1996, which added $3.5 million to the segment's net sales and $.7 million to
operating income.  The sales increase was partially offset by lower connector
sales at Cambridge, $.2 million.  Operating margin increased to 20.7% from
19.9%.

     Welcome Home.

Net sales increased $.3 million or 2.9%.  Operating income decreased $.7
million or 27.5%.  The increase in net sales was due to 21 net additional
stores in 1996.  The decrease in operating income was due to having the expense
of 21 additional stores in the slowest quarter of the year.  The above items
also negatively impacted operating margin which dropped to negative 24.3% from
negative 19.6%.

     Consumer and Industrial Products.  As of March 31, 1996, the Consumer and
Industrial Products group consisted of DACCO, Sate-Lite, Riverside, Parsons,
Hudson, and Beemak.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
        OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Net sales decreased $4.3 million or 9.9%.  Operating income decreased $.5
million or 9.3%.  The sales decrease was due to  lower scrap sales at DACCO,
$.5 million, lower foreign and domestic bicycle sales at Sate-Lite, $.3
million, decreased sales of God's Word Bibles, religious books and tapes, and
contract distribution services at Riverside, $2.5 million, $.7 million, and
$1.0 million, respectively, locks at Hudson, $.4 million, and POGs and
fabricated products at Beemak, $.5 million and $.5 million, respectively. 
These decreases were partially offset by increases in rebuilt converter and
soft parts sales at DACCO, $1.4 million and $.4 million, respectively, and
increased molding sales at Beemak, $.2 million.  Operating margin was unchanged
at 13.6%.

     Consolidated Results:  (See Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations.)  First quarter operating income increased $3.5 million or 62.9%
compared to 1995 due to higher sales figures primarily attained by the
acquisitions of Merkle-Korff, Johnson Components and Colman Motor Products. 
First quarter interest expense increased from $10.5 million to $14.0 million
due to higher debt levels at M&G Holdings and SPL.  First quarter interest
income increased from $.5 million to $.7 million, due to higher cash balances. 
Primarily as a result of higher operating income, higher  interest income,
partially offset by higher interest expense, the Company incurred a net loss
of $2.3 million in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to a net loss of $3.7
million in 1995.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources.  The Company had $81.8 million of
working capital at March 31, 1996, compared to $99.7 million at the end of
1995.  The decrease in working capital was due to lower cash balances, lower
accounts receivable, higher notes payable, and higher advanced deposits, offset
by higher inventory, prepaids and other current assets, and lower accounts
payable and accrued expenses.

The company's net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 decreased $7.8 million versus the same period in 1995.  This
decrease was due to a lower net loss, $1.4 million, a lower increase in current
assets, $7.0 million, a lower decrease in current liabilities, $.6 million, and
higher depreciation and amortization, $2.3 million.  These decreases were
partially offset by a higher benefit for deferred taxes, $1.3 million, a higher
increase in non-current assets, $2.3 million, and higher minority interest, $.2
million.

The net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31,
1996, increased $33.5 million versus the same period in 1995.  this increase
was due to two acquisitions, $38.2 million, and higher advances to affiliates,
$1.3 million, partially offset by lower capital expenditures, $2.1 million, and
a decrease in acquisitions of minority interest of $3.9 million.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
        OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



The net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March
31, 1996 increased $28.2 million versus the same period in 1995. This increase 
was due to increased proceeds from lines of credit, $7.0 million, increased
proceeds from revolving credit facilities, $4.2 million, and increased proceeds
from a debt issuance, $20.0 million, partially offset by higher repayments of
long-term debt $2.9 million.

None of the subsidiaries require significant amounts of capital spending to
sustain its current operations or to achieve projected growth.
