PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Results of operations for the Three Months Ended July 1, 1995 as compared to
Three Months Ended July 2, 1994.

     Net sales for the second quarter of 1995 totaled $36,737,000 compared to
$34,801,000 for the second quarter of 1994, a 5.6% increase. 

     Gross profit, at $6,052,000, was 16.5% of net sales, decreased from
$7,445,000, 21.4% of net sales, recorded for the second quarter of 1994. 
Second quarter gross margins were expected to be lower than the corresponding
period of 1994 as the Aero M Group, although production trends were still
improving, reported essentially a break-even gross margin for the quarter
compared to a gross margin of approximately $1,035,000, or 17.9% of net sales,
for the second quarter of 1994.  Other operations of the Company, on a combined
basis, reported $6,064,000 gross profits, a slight decrease from the 1994 level
for the second quarter.  Selling and general and administrative expenses for
the quarter were 10.5% of net sales, at $3,873,000, compared to 11.7% of net
sales for the second quarter of 1994, at $4,069,00, as reductions were made,
primarily in incentive bonus accruals, to reflect the lower earnings levels.

     Interest expense for the second quarter, at $569,000, compared to
$381,000 for the comparable period of 1994 as interest rates (measured by the
Prime Rate) increased by approximately 2.5 to 3.0 percentage points when
comparing second quarter, 1995, interest rates with the corresponding quarter
in 1994.  This increase in rates was compounded by an increase in loans
outstanding at the end of the second quarter of 1995 (increased by
approximately $2,000,000 during the quarter) of approximately $9,900,000 over
loans outstanding at the end of the second quarter of 1994.  Other income, at
$161,000, was comparable to the $140,000 reported for the second quarter of
1994.

     Income before taxes was $1,771,000, 4.8% of net sales, versus $3,135,000,
9.0% of net sales, for the second quarter of 1994.  Income tax provisions for
the second quarter of 1995 were $680,000 compared to $1,249,000 for the same
period of 1994.  Net income was $1,091,000 ($.21 per common share) compared to
$1,886,000 ($.35 per share) for the second quarter of 1994.


Results of operations for the Six Months Ended July 1, 1995 as compared to Six
Months Ended July 2, 1994.

     Net sales for the first six months of 1995 totaled $70,878,000 compared
to $67,705,000 recorded for the first six months of 1994, or a 4.7% increase.

     Gross profits, at $11,977,000, 16.9% of net sales, compared to gross
profits for the first six months of 1994, at $14,045,000, 20.7% of net sales,
as the Aero M Group reported negative gross profits (approximately $137,000)
for its operations during the first six months of 1995 compared to profitable
operations at the gross profit level (approximately $2,200,000) in the
comparable period of 1994 prior to its physical move of operations from
Kentucky to Juarez, Mexico, during the latter half of the 1994.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $8,152,000 (11.5% of net sales) for
the first six months of 1995 compared to $8,171,000 (12.1% of net sales) for
the corresponding period of 1994.

     Interest expenses for the first half of 1995 totaled $1,082,000 compared
to $721,000 in 1994 as increased loan balances at July 1, 1995 ($31,040,000)
<PAGE>
 
over those at July 2, 1994 ($21,125,000) compounded by increased interest rates
(measured by the Prime Rate) of approximately 2.5 to 3.0 percentage points in
1995 over 1994 increased interest costs.  Other income of $390,000 was
approximately $152,000 higher than that recorded in 1994 as a Licensee
purchased more raw materials from the Company than the previous period in 1994,
and an exchange gain was recorded by the Company's U.K. subsidiary.

     Income before taxes was $3,133,000 (4.4% of net sales) compared to
$5,391,000 (8.0% of net sales) for the corresponding period in 1994.  Income
tax provisions were $1,208,000 for the first six months of 1995 compared to
$2,152,000 for the first six months of 1994.  The tax rate of 38.6% for 1995
(compared to 39.9% for 1994) was favorably affected by the increase in the
percentage of profits of the Company by its U.K. subsidiary with lower tax
rates.  Net income was $1,925,000 ($.36 per common share) compared to the first
six months of 1994 of $3,239,000 ($.60 per share).


Financial Conditions:  Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash at the end of the second quarter, 1995, totaled $322,000 as 
compared to $586,000 at the end of the second quarter of 1994 (including a cash
equivalent of $505,000 pledged as collateral for an environmental issue). 
Working capital was $28,139,000 at the end of the first half of 1995 versus 
$22,845,000 at the close of the comparable period in 1994.  Current ratio of
2.4:1 compares to a ratio of 2.2:1 at July 2, 1994.  Approximately $4,689,000
of expenditures were made during the first half of 1995 for property, plant and
equipment compared to $2,923,000 expended during the first six months of 1994. 

     The Company has an Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, dated July 8, 
1993, with the The First National Bank of Boston (Bank of Boston), wherein the
Company may borrow up to a limit of $15,000,000.  This Agreement was further
amended on August 4, 1994, to include, among other things, the right of BHC
Aerovox Ltd. (BHC) to borrow an amount not to exceed 4,000,000 Pounds Sterling
in addition to the $15,000,000 the Company may borrow under this Agreement. 
At the end of the second quarter of 1995, the Company had borrowed $13,260,000
and BHC had borrowed approximately 3,500,000 Pounds Sterling under the
Agreement with the Bank of Boston.

     The Company also has a term line of credit with The CIT Group, an
equipment financing company.  This line of $10,000,000, secured by equipment
at the Company's New Bedford facility, has annual interest rates ranging from
7.36% to 8.24%.  Outstanding loans at the end of the second quarter, 1995, for
this part of the loan facility, totaled $5,534,000.  Amendment No. 2 to this
Loan and Security Agreement, signed by the Company on June 8, 1995, provides
that the Company can borrow up to an additional aggregate amount not to exceed
$5,000,000, such additional borrowings to be similarly secured by the existing 
security interest on the stated property.  The Company had borrowed $3,500,000
on this new credit line as of the end of the second quarter, 1995.

     It was determined, at the end of the first quarter of 1995, that the
Company was in default of financial covenants imposed by the Bank of Boston and
The CIT Group.  Bank covenants for an interest coverage ratio of no less than
4 to 1 (earnings before interest and income taxes divided by total interest
expense) and a debt to worth ratio (consolidated total liabilities divided by
consolidated net worth) of no greater than 1.5 to 1 were not met at the end of
the first quarter - interest coverage ratio was 3.6 to 1 and the debt to worth
ratio was 1.54 to 1.  Both banking institutions were advised of this position
and the Company received written waivers from them of what they recognize as
a temporary situation as well as relief from these covenants (interest coverage
<PAGE>
 
ratio to 3.5 to 1 and debt to worth ratio to 1.75 to 1) for the remainder of
1995.
