              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  April 3, 1994

                                   (Unaudited)

   1. Basis of Presentation 

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
      have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
      to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do
      not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
      accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In
      the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
      recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
      been included.  Operating results for the three month period ended
      April 3, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
      be expected for the year ended December 31, 1994.  For further
      information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
      footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
      for the year ended December 31, 1993.

      The Company is organized into four major operating groups:  Automation
      Technology, Integrated Automation, Automation Measurement and Control,
      and European Operations.  The Automation Technology Group is
      responsible for the manufacture of cellular and smart manufacturing
      systems, automated standalone machine tools, tooling and fixtures, and
      remanufacturing.  The Integrated Automation Group produces assembly
      automation products and systems and flexible transfer lines. 
      Programmable industrial computers, servo systems, controls, and
      measurement products are offered by the Automation Measurement and
      Control Group.  The European Operations Group offers the Company's
      complete product lines through its sales, engineering, manufacturing,
      and service facilities in Scotland, England and Germany.

   3.  Contingencies

       The Company is involved in various environmental matters, including
       matters in which the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have
       either been named as potentially responsible parties under the
       Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act
       ("CERCLA") or are involved with state environmental authorities.  The
       sites involved include facilities acquired by the Company in
       connection with the acquisition of Cross & Trecker, including a soil
       and water contamination matter at the Company's West Allis, Wisconsin
       facility that is held for sale.  The Company has developed and 
       submitted plans which will lead to the remediation of this site.
       The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is investigating 
       alleged environmental violations at the Company's Menominee, 
       Michigan facility.  The investigation focuses on air emissions, 
       and their potential impact on surrounding soil and waste disposal 
       practices.  Two related civil lawsuits have also been filed regarding
       this matter.  Information presently available to the Company does
       not enable it to reasonably estimate potential civil or criminal
       penalties, or remediation costs, if any, related to the Menominee
       matter.  

       The Company has established accruals for all environmental
       contingencies of which management is currently aware in accordance
       with generally accepted accounting principles.  In establishing these
       accruals, management considered (a) reports of environmental
       consultants retained by the Company, (b) the costs incurred to date
       by the Company at sites where clean-up is presently ongoing and the
       estimated costs to complete the necessary remediation work remaining
       at such sites, (c) the financial solvency, where appropriate, of
       other parties that have been identified as responsible for effecting
       remediation at specified sites, and (d) the experience of other
       parties who have been involved in the remediation of comparable
       sites.  The accruals recorded by the Company with respect to
       environmental matters have not been reduced by potential insurance
       recoveries or other recoveries and are not discounted.  Although the
       Company has and will continue to pursue such claims against insurance
       carriers and other responsible parties, future potential recoveries
       remain uncertain and, therefore, were not recorded as a reduction to
       the estimated gross environmental liabilities.  Based on the
       foregoing and given current information, management believes that
       future costs in excess of the amounts accrued on all presently known
       and quantifiable environmental contingencies will not be material to
       the Company's financial position or results of operations.

       The Company is also involved in other litigation and proceedings,
       including product liability claims.  In the case of product
       liability, the Company is partially self-insured and accrues for
       estimated claim exposures determined to be probable.  The Company
       does not believe that the outcome of such litigation will have a
       material adverse effect upon the Company.

       As part of the Cross & Trecker Corporation acquisition in October,
       1991, the Company acquired two contracts with customers located in
       the former Soviet Union (Russian contracts).  These contracts,
       totalling approximately $48.2 million, were entered into by
       Cross & Trecker Corporation prior to the acquisition.  In light of
       the political and economic instability in the former Soviet Union,
       the Company was unable to predict when or if effective guarantees
       (see below) would be obtained or additional payments would be
       received under these contracts.  Accordingly, at the time of the
       acquisition, the Company wrote off the uncollected receivables and
       reserved for the costs committed to be incurred with respect to these
       contracts.

       In August, 1992, Export-Import Bank of the United States issued a
       conditional guarantee for one of the Russian contracts.  At April 3,
       1994, all of the specified procedures needed to activate this
       guarantee had not yet been satisfied.  However, in November, 1993,
       the Company received the remaining contractual downpayment relating
       to this contract.  Since the related receivable had previously been
       written off, the downpayment was recorded as income in 1993.  For the
       other Russian contract, no payments have been received and no credit
       guarantee has been issued.  The Company continues to pursue
       collection of the remaining amounts outstanding under these
       contracts.

   </TABLE>

   Bookings in the first three months of 1994 were $169.4 million compared to
   bookings in the first three months of 1993 of $129.3 million.  Automation
   Technology first quarter bookings for 1994 of $32.0 million decreased
   13.4% from $37.0 million in the first quarter of 1993 reflecting continued
   weakness in the demand for large machine tools and sophisticated cells and
   systems.  Integrated Automation bookings of $117.6 million increased
   341.9% in the first quarter of 1994 from $26.6 million in the first
   quarter of 1993.  Substantially all of the increase in Integrated
   Automation's first quarter 1994 bookings relates to large orders placed by
   the domestic automotive industry.  European Operations bookings decreased
   88.3% from $52.4 million in the first quarter of 1993 to $6.2 million in
   the first quarter of 1994.  During the first quarter of 1993, the European
   Operations Group received several large orders from European automotive
   companies and one large order from a Korean automotive company; whereas
   first quarter 1994 orders declined due to depressed economic conditions in
   Europe.  Automation Measurement and Control bookings of $13.6 million for
   the first quarter of 1994 increased 2.4% from $13.3 million in the first
   quarter of 1993.

   Consolidated net sales in the first three months of 1994 totalled $123.0
   million compared to $140.3 million in the year earlier period.  The
   decrease in net sales reflects the lower bookings levels experienced in
   the latter half of 1992 and first half of 1993.  In the 1994 period, net
   sales for Automation Technology of $41.9 million decreased 12.9% from
   $48.1 million in the year earlier period.  Integrated Automation net sales
   of $49.3 million decreased 8.2% from $53.7 million.  European Operations
   sales in the first three months of 1994 were $16.4 million, a decrease of
   28.4% from $22.9 million in the year earlier period.  Automation
   Measurement and Control net sales decreased .5% to $15.5 million in the
   1994 period compared to $15.6 million in the 1993 period.

   The consolidated gross margin (before depreciation and amortization)
   decreased to 22.9% of sales in the first quarter of 1994, from 29.6% in
   the first quarter of 1993.  The decrease in the gross margin percentage is
   primarily attributable to competitive pressures on bookings starting in
   the last half of 1992.  

   Selling, general, and administrative expenses (before depreciation and
   amortization) decreased as a percentage of sales to 10.5% in the first
   three months of 1994 from 13.3% in the year earlier period.  The
   percentage decrease is the result of cost reduction and improved
   engineering and technical services efficiency.

   Other expense of $91,000 in the first three months of 1994 is primarily
   made up of foreign currency gains and amortization of foreign currency
   exchange contracts costs.

   Net interest expense/(income) decreased from $1.8 million in the first
   quarter of 1993 to ($.3) million in the first quarter of 1994.  The
   decrease in net interest expense is attributable to the conversion into
   common stock in March, 1993 of substantially all of the Company's 10%
   convertible subordinated debentures and the repayment of all remaining
   outstanding debt in the second quarter of 1993.

   The provision for income taxes of $4.6 million for the first quarter of
   1994 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for 1994.  The
   Company's effective tax rate for the first three months of 1994 amounted
   to 40.0% as compared to 39.3% for the year earlier period.  

   Liquidity and Capital Resources at April 3, 1994

   On April 3, 1994, the Company had $76.9 million of cash and cash
   equivalents on hand which was an increase of $23.0 million from the
   balance on hand at the beginning of the year.  For the first three months
   of 1994, operating activities generated $27.8 million of cash.  Cash
   provided from working capital changes totaled $16.5 million due primarily
   to improved receivable collections, offset by a decrease in accrued
   expenses and other liabilities.  The payment of year-end accruals was the
   primary reason for the decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities. 

   Investing activities used $4.8 million which included $4.5 million in
   capital expenditures.  Financing activities used cash of $.6 million
   including dividend payments of $1.0 million.

   The Company believes its cash flows from operations and funds available
   under domestic and foreign credit agreements will be adequate to finance
   capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the foreseeable
   future.
