</TABLE>

     Net sales for the third quarter of 1996 increased by $1.6 million, or 3.6%,
     from the same period in 1995. The increase for the quarter was primarily
     attributable to a $2.9 million increase in domestic plumbing and heating
     product sales, particularly hot water maker and commercial HVAC systems
     products, which was partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in sales of
     non-returnable chemical containers as compared to 1995. Net sales increased
     $.2 million, or .2%, in the first nine months of 1996 to $134.8 million
     from $134.6 million in the corresponding period in 1995. This increase was
     primarily attributable to increased sales of residential plumbing and
     heating products due to stronger demand in the new and replacement hydronic
     heating market as well as increased sales of residential well water
     products and increased international sales of chemical containers, offset
     by a weak domestic demand for chemical containers.


                                                                               7

     Net sales attributable to the Company's water systems products increased
     $1.2 million (or 1.6%) in the first nine months of 1996 to $77.2 million,
     primarily due to increased sales of well water accumulators. Net sales
     attributable to the Company's HVAC products decreased $1.0 million (or
     1.7%) to $57.6 million in the first nine months of 1996, primarily due to a
     decrease of $3.2 million in chemical container sales resulting from a
     prebuy of domestic chemical containers in 1995, offset by increased sales
     of the Company's core HVAC products. The decline in domestic sales of
     chemical containers for both the third quarter and first nine months of
     1996 also reflects the continued transition from chloroflurocarbons 
     ("CFCs") to new alternative refrigerant gases which is expected to 
     continue until the aftermarket service demand for new refrigerant gases 
     grows to previous CFC levels.

     The gross profit in the third quarter increased by $.2 million or 1.6% from
     the previous year and the gross margin decreased to 27.6% of net sales in
     1996 from 28.2% in 1995. The gross profit percentage was adversely affected
     principally by inefficiencies associated with assimilating production
     requirements from the two plants closed during the past 12 months. For the
     nine months, gross profit decreased $1.3 million or 3.5% as compared to the
     same period in 1995, and the gross margin decreased to 27.3% of net sales
     in 1996 from 28.3% of net sales in 1995. This decrease was primarily due to
     the cost of production interruptions associated with plant closings as well
     as inclement weather.

     Selling, general and administrative expense, before plant closing charges
     of $1.9 million, in the third quarter of 1996, increased $.2 million to
     $7.5 million and decreased as a percentage of sales to 16.5% from 16.7% in
     1995. Selling, general and administrative expense increased during the
     quarter primarily due to increased selling expenses associated with high
     sales volume during the quarter as well as certain one time promotional
     expenses, offset, in part, by reduced administrative expense associated
     with the Chairman's office. For the nine month period, selling, general and
     administrative expense, before plant closing charges, increased $.3 million
     to 16.9% of net sales in 1996 from 16.7% in 1995, due to increased selling
     costs associated with the Do-It-Yourself distribution channel and certain
     one time promotional expenses, offset, in part, by reduced administrative
     expenses associated with the Chairman's office.

     Income from operations for the third quarter of 1996 was flat as compared
     to the corresponding period of 1995, before taking into account the
     restructuring charges of $1.9 million related to plant closings reflected
     in the 1995 third quarter. For the nine months ending September 28, 1996,
     income from operations decreased $1.5 million (or 10.0%) to $14.0 million
     from $15.5 million, before the restructuring charges of $1.9 million, in
     the corresponding period of 1995. This decrease was due to the lower gross
     margin.

     Net income for the third quarter of 1996 increased $1.1 million (or 55%) to
     $3.1 million from $2.0 million in the third quarter of 1995. For the nine
     month period ending September 28, 1995, net income increased $.2 million
     (or 2.3%) to $8.8 million from $8.6 million in the corresponding period in
     1995. Net income for the third quarter and first nine months of 1995
     reflected a restructuring charge of $1.9 million related to plant closings.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     -------------------------------

     Working Capital at September 28, 1996 was $42.7 million and the ratio of
     current assets to current liabilities was 3.3 to 1.0. This compares with
     working capital of $43.3 million and a current ratio of 3.4 to 1.0 at
     December 31, 1995.

     The Company experienced an increase in its Accounts Receivable balance due
     to the increased level of sales activity when compared to the fourth
     quarter of 1995 and the increase in export sales of chemical containers and
     sales to the retail channel both of which generally carry extended payment
     terms.

     Cash provided by operations was $6.6 million for the nine months ended   
     September 28, 1996, representing an increase of $.5 million, as compared
     to $6.1 million for the corresponding period in 1996. The increase was
     primarily due to proceeds from life insurance policies and a reduction in
     prepaid income taxes. Also, the Company received cash from issuing common
     stock related to the exercise of stock options of $0.1 million and
     borrowed $3.5 million against its Revolving Line of Credit facility.
     During the nine months ended September 28, 1996, the Company invested $6.1
     million, net, in machinery and equipment and paid dividends of $6.3
     million including a special cash dividend of $.70 per share paid in the
     second quarter which represented the proceeds from the sale of the
     Company's Rogers, Arkansas manufacturing facility, expected proceeds from
     the sale of the Company's Plano, Texas facility and proceeds from life
     insurance policies.  As a result of the foregoing, the Company's cash
     balance decreased by $6.0 million.

                                                                               9

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


     Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 28, 1996 were $8.1
     million, an increase of $3.6 million, as compared to $4.5 million for the
     corresponding period in 1995. These expenditures related primarily to
     ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the Company's Manufacturing
     Technology. The Company's total capital expenditures for 1996 are 
     projected to be $10.5 million.

     The Company believes that its operating cash flow and available lines of
     credit will be adequate to fund its anticipated future capital commitments
     and working capital requirements.

     On April 24, 1996, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
     retained Smith Barney Inc. and HSBC Securities, Inc. as financial advisors
     to help the Company explore strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder
     value, including a possible business combination, the sale of all or a
     portion of the Company, potential acquisitions or any other similar
     transactions.

     On August 28, 1996, the Company entered into a merger agreement with AMTROL
     Acquisition, Inc. ("Acquisition") and AMTROL Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings")
     each a company formed by affiliates of The Cypress Group L.L.C. Upon the
     approval of the shareholders of AMTROL at a special meeting to be held on
     November 12, 1996, and the satisfaction of certain other conditions,
     Acquisition will be merged with and into AMTROL, and AMTROL will become a
     wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. Upon consummation of the merger, each
     share of AMTROL common stock will be converted into the right to receive
     $28.25 in cash, without interest thereon.

     On October 4, 1996, the Company announced that it had restructured
     management in order to streamline control of manufacturing operations and
     to improve coordination of worldwide sales and marketing activities. The
     Board of Directors elected Samuel L. Daniels, Executive Vice President
     Sales and Marketing in charge of all marketing and sales for each of the
     Company's strategic business units. The Board also elected Clifford A.
