A.  Organization

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which reflect all
adjustments that management believes necessary to present fairly the results
of interim operations, should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements (including the Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies) included in the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1995, which are included in the
Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for such year (the "1995 10-K"). 
Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of annual results of operations.

B.  Inventories

Inventories are summarized as follows:
                                              June 30,     December 31,
                                               1996           1995   

     Raw materials                           $ 25,817        $24,251
     Work in process                           13,519          5,968
     Finished goods                            67,746         54,040
                                             $107,082        $84,259

C.  Notes receivable from affiliates and investment in affiliate

At June 30, 1996, the Company had notes receivable from Cape Craftsmen, Inc.,
a company that is controlled by the partners, principals, employees and
affiliates of The Jordan Company, of $12,128.  On July 29, 1996, the Company
acquired the stock of Cape Craftsmen, Inc. ("Cape Craftsmen") in exchange for
the $12,128 of notes receivable from Cape Craftsmen.  Because the Company and
Cape Craftsmen have common ownership, the stock of Cape Craftsmen will be
recorded at the historical basis of the underlying assets.  

On May 15, 1995, the Company purchased $7,500 aggregate principal amount of
Subordinated Notes and 75.6133 shares of Junior Class A PIK Preferred Stock
of Fannie May Holdings, Inc. ("Fannie May") at face value for $9,071.

The Company also acquired 151.28 shares of Common Stock of Fannie May
(representing 15.1% of the outstanding Common Stock of Fannie May on a fully
diluted basis) for $151.  These shares of Fannie May Common Stock were
purchased from the John W. Jordan II Revocable Trust.  On June 28, 1995, the
Company purchased from The First National Bank of Chicago $7,000 aggregate
principal amount of participation in term loans of Archibald Candy
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fannie May, for $7,000, and agreed

                          (unaudited)
               (ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)


to purchase up to an additional $3,000 aggregate principal amount of such
participation, depending upon the financial performance of Fannie May.  The
additional $3,000 obligation is secured by a pledge from the Company with a
$3,000 certificate of deposit purchased by the Company.

Fannie May's Chief Executive Officer is Mr. Quinn, and its stockholders
include Mr. Jordan, Mr. Quinn, Mr. Zalaznick, and Mr. Boucher, who are
directors and stockholders of the Company, as well as other partners,
principals and associates of The Jordan Company, who are also stockholders
of the Company.  Fannie May, which is also known as "Fannie May Candies", is
a manufacturer and marketer of kitchen-fresh, high-end boxed chocolates
through its 375 company-owned retail stores and through specialty sales
channels.

On July 29, 1996, Mr. Jordan purchased $2,000 of the Fannie May Subordinated
Notes from the Company at face value plus accrued interest.

D.  Accounting for Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences

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

Specialty Printing and Labeling.  As of June 30, 1996, the Specialty Printing
and Labeling group consisted of SPAI, Valmark, Pamco, and Seaboard.

For the second quarter and first six months of 1996, net sales increased $4.2
million or 16.9% and $5.7 million or 14.3%, respectively, over the same
periods in 1995.  The increase in sales is primarily due to the acquisition
of Seaboard on May 1, 1996.  For the quarter, Seaboard sales of $4.8 million
were partially offset by decreased sales of shielding devices at Valmark, $.5
million, and decreased label sales at Pamco, $.1 million.  For the six months
ended June 30, 1996, Seaboard sales of $4.8 million were supplemented by
increased sales of shielding devices and membrane switches at Valmark, $.5
million and $.2 million, respectively. 

For the second quarter and first six months of 1996, operating income
decreased $.1 million or 2.1% and $.4 million or 17.3%, respectively, over
the same periods in 1995.  Operating margins decreased from 11.6% to 9.7% in
the second quarter and from 6.2% to 4.5% in the first six months over the
same periods in the prior year.  The decrease in operating income for the
quarter is due to decreases at SPAI, $.3 million, Valmark, $.3 million, and
Pamco, $.3 million, partially offset by the purchase of Seaboard, which
contributed $.8 million.  The year-to-date decrease is due to decreases at
SPAI, $.7 million, Valmark, $.3 million, and Pamco, $.2 million, partially
offset by Seaboard, $.8 million.  Operating income and operating margins
decreased due to increased medical insurance costs at SPAI, increased
production costs at Valmark due to an additional facility, and increased
selling expenses at Pamco.

Motors and Gears.  As of June 30, 1996, the Motors and Gears group consisted
of Imperial, Scott, Gear, Merkle-Korff, and Colman Motor Products.

For the second quarter and first six months of 1996, net sales increased
$21.8 million or 225.4% and $40.1 million or 205.7%, respectively, over the
same periods last year.  The increase in sales is driven by the acquisition
of Merkle-Korff in September 1995, which added $14.9 million and $29.2
million in net sales in the second quarter and first six months,
respectively, as well as the purchase of Colman Motor Products in March 1996,
which contributed $5.6 million and $7.4 million in net sales in the second
quarter and first six months, respectively.  Further contributing to the
second quarter sales increase was increased volume of permanent magnet motors
at Imperial, $1.6 million, partially offset by a decline in planetary gear
sales at Gear, $.3 million.  In addition to the acquisitions in 1996 and late
1995, the increase in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 is due
to increased sales of permanent magnet and elevator motors at Imperial, $3.4
million and $.3 million, respectively, increased motor sales at Scott, $.4
million and increased aluminum gear sales at Gear, $.1 million.  The six
month sales increases were partially offset by decreased sales of planetary
gears at Gear, $.7 million.

For the second quarter and first six months of 1996, operating income
increased $4.5 million or 177.3% and $9.0 million or 187.4%, respectively,
over the same period last year.  Operating margins decreased from 26.2% to
22.3% for the quarter and from 24.7% to 23.2% for the six months,
respectively.

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


The increase in operating income for the second quarter is driven by the
acquisitions of Merkle-Korff and Colman Motor Products, which contributed 
$3.9 million and $.5 million, respectively.  As in the second quarter, the
increase in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 is due
to Merkle-Korff and Colman Motor Products, which contributed $7.4 million and
$.8 million, respectively.  Adding to the effect of the acquisitions were
increased operating income at Imperial, $.8 million, and Scott, $.2 million,
partially offset by a decline at Gear, $.2 million.  Operating margins
decreased primarily due to increased amortization expense associated with the
Merkle-Korff acquisition.

Telecommunication Products.  As of June 30, 1996, the Telecommunications
Products group consisted of Dura-Line, AIM, Cambridge, Johnson, and
Diversified.  The results of operations of Diversified, which was acquired
on June 24, 1996, are not presented herein. 

For the second quarter and first six months of 1996, net sales increased $2.8
million or 11.4% and $7.5 million or 16.9%, respectively, over the same
periods last year.  The second quarter sales increase is due to the January
1996 acquisition of Johnson Components, which added $4.8 million to the
group's net sales, and increased connector sales at AIM, $.3 million,
partially offset by decreased sales of Innerduct at Dura-Line, $2.0 million, 
and decreased sales of connectors at Cambridge, $.2 million.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1996, Johnson Components added $8.3 million to the
group's sales.  Coupled with the Johnson Components acquisition are increased
connector sales at AIM, $.4 million.  These increases are partially offset
by decreased sales of connectors at Cambridge, $.4 million, and decreased
Innerduct sales at Dura-Line, $.6 million.

For the second quarter and first six months of 1996, operating income
increased $.8 million or 18.4% and $1.9 million or 23.3%, respectively, over
the same periods last year.  Operating margins increased from 17.0% to 18.0%
and 18.3% to 19.3% for the quarter and six month period, respectively.  For
the quarter, the increase in operating income is attributable to the
acquisition of Johnson Components, which added $.9 million to the group's
operating income, and increased operating income at AIM and Cambridge, $.3
million and $.1 million, respectively, all of which are partially offset by
a decrease at Dura-Line, $.5 million.  For the six months ended June 30,
1996, the increase in operating income is due to Johnson Components, $1.6
million, and increases at Dura-Line, $.1 million, AIM, $.1 million, and
Cambridge, $.1 million.  Improved margins are due to decreases in material
costs at Dura-Line and decreased amortization at Cambridge.

Welcome Home.  For the second quarter and first six months of 1996, net sales
increased $.7 million or 4.1% and $1.1 million or 3.6%, respectively, over
the same periods last year.  Operating income decreased $.8 million or 79.9%
and $1.5 million or 43.5%, respectively.  Operating margins decreased from
(5.8%) to (10.1%) for the second quarter and (11.4%) to (15.7%) for the six
months ended June 30,  1996, respectively.  The increase in sales is

       OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


due to having an additional week included in the second quarter in Welcome
Home's fiscal calendar.  The decrease in operating income and decline in
operating margins is primarily due to having the expenses of an additional
twelve stores in 1996 versus 1995 during the slowest half of the year.

Consumer and Industrial Products.  As of June 30, 1996, the Consumer and
Industrial Products group consisted of DACCO, Sate-Lite, Riverside, Parsons,
Hudson, and Beemak.

For the second quarter and first six months of 1996, net sales decreased $2.5
million or 5.8% and $6.7 million or 7.8%, respectively, over the same periods
in the prior year.  Contributing to the second quarter sales decrease are
lower scrap sales at DACCO, $.4 million, lower bible and children's book
sales and contract distribution sales at Riverside, $.5 million and $.9
million, respectively, decreased wafer lock sales at Hudson, $.8 million, and
decreased POG sales at Beemak, $1.5 million.  Partially offsetting these
decreases are increased sales of rebuilt converters and soft parts at DACCO,
$1.2 million and $.3 million, respectively. Driving the six month sales
decrease are lower scrap sales at DACCO, $1.0 million, decreased bicycle and
truck reflector sales at Sate-Lite, $.6 million, lower bibles and books and
contract distribution services sales at Riverside $3.3 million and $1.8
million, respectively, decreased wafer lock sales at Hudson, $1.0 million, 
and lower POG sales at Beemak, $2.4 million.  Partially offsetting these
sales declines are increased sales of rebuilt converters and other rebuilt
parts at DACCO, $2.6 million and $.9 million, respectively.

For the second quarter and first six months of 1996, operating income
decreased $1.7 million or 24.5% and $2.2 million or 17.5%, respectively, over
the same periods last year.  Operating margins decreased from 15.9% to 12.7%
and 14.7% to 13.2%, respectively, over the same periods.  The decline in
operating margins is primarily due to lower sales at Riverside and Hudson.
 
Consolidated Results:  (See Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.) 
Operating income increased $5.5 million or 32.6% for the first six months due
to increased sales primarily stemming from the acquisitions of Merkle-Korff
and Colman Motors products in the Motors and Gears group, Johnson Components
in the Telecommunications Products group, and Seaboard in the Specialty
Printing and Labeling group.  Six month interest expense increased from $21.3
million to $29.0 million due to higher debt levels from the acquisitions. 
Six month interest income increased from $.9 million to $1.3 million due to
higher cash balances during the period.  The Company incurred a net loss of
$5.6 million in the first six months of 1996, as compared to a net loss of
$2.8 million for the same period in 1995.

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources.  The Company had $51.4 million of working
capital at June 30, 1996, compared to $99.7 million at the end of 1995.  The
decrease in working capital was due to lower cash balances, higher notes
payable, higher accrued liabilities, higher advance deposits, and higher
current portion of long-term debt, partially offset by higher accounts
receivable, higher inventory, higher prepaid expenses, and lower accounts
payable.

The Company's net cash provided by operating activities for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 increased $18.4 million versus the same period in 1995. 
This increase was due to higher depreciation and amortization expense, $5.2
million, higher non-cash interest, $.6 million, a lower increase in current
assets, $17.1 million, and a higher increase in non-current liabilities, $.4
million.  Partially offsetting these changes are a benefit from deferred
income taxes, $1.6 million, a higher increase in non-current assets, $1.7
million, and a lower decrease in current liabilities, $1.3 million.

The net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30,
1996, increased $66.8 million versus the same period in 1995.  This increase
was due to the four acquisitions, $82.5 million, higher capital expenditures,
$4.1 million, and a decrease in cash provided by other investing activities,
$.3 million.  These increases were partially offset by lower notes receivable
from affiliates, $11.4 million, lower acquisitions of minority interest and
other, $5.7 million, cash acquired in the purchase of subsidiaries, $1.4
million, and a lower investment in Fannie May Holdings, $1.6 million. 

The net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June
30, 1996 increased $53.4 million versus the same period in 1995.  This
increase was due to an increase in the proceeds from revolving credit
facilities, $25.3 million, the issuance of debt by MK Holdings, $20.0
million, and the issuance of debt by SPL Holdings, $13.0 million, partially
offset by higher debt payments of $4.9 million.

Management believes that the Company's cash on hand and anticipated funds
from operations will be sufficient to cover its working capital, capital
expenditures, debt service requirements and other fixed charge obligations
for at least the next 12 months.
