                 Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
                 ----------------------------------------------------

        1.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
            consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
            (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to
            present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1994, the
            results of operations for the three months and six months ended
            June 30, 1994 and 1993 and the cash flows for the six month
            periods then ended.

        2.  The results of operations for the three month period ended June
            30, 1994 and 1993 are not necessarily indicative of the results
            to be expected for the full year.

        3.  Earnings Per Share - Earnings per share are based on the weighted
            average number of shares outstanding during each period.  The
            exercise of all presently issued outstanding stock options and
            the issuance of shares under the "Employee Stock Purchase Plan"
            would have no material dilutive effect on earnings per share.

        4.  The acquisition of National Industries Inc. included a liability
            of approximately $5.4 million to cover the estimated costs of
            site remediation for certain National facilities.  The Company
            informed the State of Alabama about the possible contamination
            and its desire to voluntarily proceed with further study and, if
            necessary, remediation of the possible contamination.  The
            Company has completed its investigation and provided this
            information to the State.  The State has informed the Company
            that it believes further investigation is necessary.  The
            Company, however, has considered and disagreed with the State's
            comments and is voluntarily proceeding to design and implement an
            appropriate remedy.  The Company has included in its financial
            statements an allowance of $4.7 million for estimated
            environmental cleanup costs as of June 30, 1994.

        5.  Subsequent Events: 
            The Company announced on July 19, 1994 that its Board of
            Directors voted on that day to reinstate a quarterly cash
            dividend of $.04 per share on The Company's Common Stock.  This
            dividend is payable on August 31, 1994 to shareholders of record
            on August 10, 1994.

            On July 22, 1994, the Company increased its borrowing limit from
            $40 million up to $100 million under a new unsecured revolving
            credit agreement with several banks.  The agreement which expires
            no sooner than July 1, 1997 requires a commitment fee of one-
            quarter percent per annum, payable on any available and unused
            portion.

        -------------------------------------------------------------------- 

        Net sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994 increased
        primarily due to the Company's expanded role in the domestic
        automotive market, as well as increased volume in the cable television
        and telecommunications segments of the communications industry.  Net
        sales of the Interconnection Products Division were flat primarily due
        to the continuing economic recession in the markets which it serves.

        Business conditions in the second quarter and six months of 1994
        continue to reflect improvement in the domestic markets in which the
        Company serves.   The  domestic Automotive business showed especially
        strong growth as a result of the strong demand for Chrysler's new LH
        and Neon cars and Ford's new Mustang, coupled with Ford's decision to
        continue production of the Aerostar Minivan which had been scheduled
        for phaseout with production ending in the second quarter.   In the
        European and Far East markets, the continuing recession has adversely
        affected the Company with the exception of the European automotive
        business which showed a significant improvement in the second quarter
        over last year.  Incoming orders for the second quarter and six   
        months of 1994 were $143 million and $277 million, respectively 
        compared to $112 million and $215 million for the same periods of the
        prior year.  The backlog at June 30, 1994 was $120 million compared
        with $98 million at June 30, 1993.

                                         -8- <PAGE>
 



        Cost of Products Sold:  Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales
        remained constant at 78.0 - 78.6% in the second quarter and six months
        ended June 30, 1994 compared to the second quarter and six months of
        1993.  Price decreases in selected product lines have been offset by
        new product introductions.  In addition the dollars expended to
        manufacture the Company's products have increased due to increases in
        material costs, wage increases and overheads.  These expenses have
        been partially offset by improved manufacturing methods and ongoing
        cost-cutting programs.

        Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:  These expenses were    
        13.4% of sales in the second quarter of 1994 compared to 15.6% in the
        comparable quarter of the prior year.  For the six months ended June
        30, 1994, these expenses were 13.1% of sales compared to 15.7% of
        sales in the comparable period of the prior year.  While the dollars
        spent in this area have increased, the leveraging of such expenses due
        to increased volume have lowered the SG&A percent of sales.  These
        expenses may vary from period to period based on various factors, none
        of which, individually are significant.

        Other Income (Expense):  Interest income, etc. decreased in 1994 due
        to the decrease in cash available to invest over the comparable
        period.  Interest expense decreased in the 1994 period compared to 
        the same period in 1993 due to the decrease in total outstanding debt 
        in 1994 when compared to 1993.

        Income Taxes:  The effective income tax rate for the Company in the
        second quarter of 1994 was 34% and 35% for the six months ended June
        30, 1994.  The second quarter tax rate is lower than the statutory
        rate primarily due to income earned in jurisdictions with lower
        effective tax rates.  The tax rate for the second quarter and six
        months ended June 30, 1993 was 36%.  The 1993 tax rate was higher than
        the statutory rate due to income earned in jurisdictions with higher
        effective tax rates.

        Net Income:  Net income was $6.9 million and $12.6 million for the
        three months and six months ended June 30, 1994 respectively, compared
        to net income of $3.6 million and $6.5 million in the same periods of
        the prior year.  The increase in net income for the second quarter and
        six months ended June 30, 1994 resulted principally from increased
        sales volume in our domestic automotive business and communications
        business and ongoing productivity and cost control programs.

        Liquidity and Capital Resources:  The Registrant continues to maintain
        sufficient liquidity and has adequate resources to fund its operations
        under current business conditions.  The income generated from
        operations along with the cash on hand and established bank credit
        facilities are sufficient to cover expected sales growth and planned
        capital expenditure programs.
