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

Results of operations for Three Months Ended June 29, 1996 as compared to Three
Months Ended July 1, 1995.

     Net sales for the second quarter of 1996 totaled $32,030,000 compared to
$36,737,000 for the second quarter of 1995, a $4,707,000 decrease (12.8%). A
general softness in the marketplace (primarily in lighting), a slowness in the
buildup of demand for electrolytic capacitors produced in the Company's Mexican
facilities, and a government program (1995) that was not repeated in the second
quarter of 1996, all contributed to the shortfall in net sales.

     Reserves were established by the Company during the second quarter of 1996
to cover warranty claims, unusable inventories primarily related to operations
in Mexico, severance costs, elimination of certain benefit programs, and an
increase in doubtful accounts receivable. The after-tax impact to the operations
of the Company totaled $3,465,000 (or $.65 per share for the quarter) and was
accounted for, as follows:

     Gross margins before reserves for the second quarter of 1996 totaled
$5,750,000 (18.0% of net sales) and $1,501,000 (4.7% of net sales) after reserve
adjustments as compared to $6,052,000 (16.5% of net sales) for the corresponding
quarter in 1995. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the
quarter totaled $4,200,000 before reserves (13.1% of net sales) and $4,998,000
after reserve adjustments (15.6% of net sales) versus $3,873,000 in the second
quarter of 1995 (10.5% of net sales). Certain expenses in SG&A incurred during
the quarter were attributable to the addition of two new officers to the Company

                                    Page 6

to replace officers retiring at year end. The second quarter of 1995 included a
favorable adjustment in incentive bonus accruals to reflect lower earnings
levels.

     Interest expense for the second quarter, at $576,000, compares to $569,000
in the second quarter of 1995. Other income (expense) prior to reserve
adjustments totals $49,000 and a negative $240,000 after the reserve adjustments
compared to $161,000 other income for the corresponding quarter of 1995.

     Income (loss) before taxes was $1,023,000 before reserves (3.2% of net
sales) and $(4,313,000) after reserve adjustments (a negative 13.5% of net
sales) compared to $1,771,000 (4.8% of net sales) for the second quarter of
1995. Income tax benefits for the second quarter of 1996 are $1,532,000 versus a
tax provision of $680,000 in the second quarter of 1995. A net loss of
$2,781,000 (a negative $0.52 per common share) compares to net income reported
in the second quarter of 1995 of $1,091,000, $0.21 per share.

Results of operations for the Six Months Ended June 29, 1996 as compared to Six
Months Ended July 1, 1995.

     Net sales for the first six months of 1996 totaled $65,194,000 compared to
$70,878,000 for the corresponding six months of 1995, a $5,684,000 decrease. A
general softness in the marketplace (primarily in the lighting market), a
slowness in the buildup of demand for electrolytic capacitors produced in the
Company's Mexican facilities, and a non-repeated government program (produced in
1995) all contributed to a shortfall in net sales between the corresponding
periods.

     Reserves were established by the Company during the second quarter of 1996
to cover warranty claims, unusable inventories primarily related to operations
in Mexico, severance costs, elimination of certain benefit programs, and an
increase in doubtful accounts receivable. The after-tax impact to operations of

     Gross margins before reserves for the first half of 1996 totaled
$11,609,000 (17.8% of net sales) and $7,360,000 (11.3% of net sales) after

     Interest expenses totaled $1,293,000 for the first six months as compared
to $1,082,000 for the first six months of 1995. Other income at $183,000 prior

compares to $390,000 for the first half of 1995. A Licensee purchased more raw
materials from the Company and a favorable exchange gain was recorded by the

     Income (loss) before taxes was $2,294,000 before reserves (3.5% of net
sales) and ($3,042,000) after reserve adjustments (a negative 4.7% of net sales)
compared to income before taxes of $3,133,000 for the first half of 1995 (4.4%

Financial Condition:  Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash at the end of the second quarter, 1996, totaled $292,000 compared to
$322,000 at the end of the second quarter of 1995. Working capital totaled
$23,984,000 at June 29, 1996, versus $28,139,000 at the end of the first half of
1995; a reduction of $4,155,000, primarily a result of the reserve adjustments
taken by the Company during the second quarter of 1996. Current ratio of 2.2:1
compares to a ratio of 2.4:1 at July 1, 1995. Approximately $1,924,000 of
expenditures were made during the first half of 1996 for property, plant and
equipment compared to $4,689,000 expended during the first six months of 1995.
The ratio of total liabilities to net worth was 1.64:1 at the end of the first
six months of 1996 as compared to 1.56:1 at the end of the corresponding period
in 1995.

     At the end of the first half of 1996, the Company had borrowings of
$30,124,000 versus $31,040,000 for the comparable period in 1995, a reduction of
$916,000.

     On May 15, 1996, a Third Amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement was
entered into between the Bank of Boston and the Company which extended the
maturity date to May 31, 1999 and amended financial covenants going forward.
Under this amended Agreement, the Company continues its credit line of
$21,000,000, including a line of credit for the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, BHC Aerovox, Ltd., in the amount of 4,400,000 British Pounds.
Interest is at the bank's prime rate payable in arrears on the outstanding loan
balance. The Company has options to convert from a bank base loan into a
Eurodollar Loan at the then Eurodollar (LIBOR) rate plus 1 3/4 percentage points
and to convert up to $4,000,000 of loans to a Bankers' Acceptance facility at

                                    Page 8
                                      
<PAGE>
 
interest rates equal to the per annum average discount rate quoted to the bank
on date of request for such facility plus 1 1/2 percentage points per annum. A
commitment fee, equal to one-quarter percent per annum, will be charged on the
unused portion of the total commitment. At June 29, 1996, total borrowings
outstanding under this Agreement were approximately $19,721,000 compared to
approximately $18,915,000 on July 1, 1995.

     Due to the establishment of increased reserves during the second quarter of
1996, the Bank of Boston covenant for an interest coverage ratio of no less than
2.25:1 (earnings before interest and income taxes divided by interest expense)
was not met at the end of the second quarter of 1996. The bank has been advised
and a waiver of this particular covenant for the period has been granted. All
other covenants required by the Agreement between the bank and the Company have
been met.

     The Company also has a term line of credit with the CIT Group, an equipment
financing company. This line of $10,000,000, collateralized by certain
equipment, has annual interest rates ranging from 7.4% to 8.2% and maturing at
various dates to January 10, 2001. At June 29, 1996, borrowings outstanding
under this agreement were $7,637,000 compared to $9,034,000 outstanding at the
end of the second quarter of 1995.

     A ten-year Industrial Revenue Bond was issued by the Massachusetts
Industrial Finance Agency in July 1982 to finance the acquisition of equipment.
The bond was transferred to another purchaser in June, 1992. Principal and
interest, at an annual rate of 7.42%, are payable monthly to July 1, 2002. At
June 29, 1996, the bond balance outstanding under this agreement was $2,765,000
compared to $3,090,000 at July 1, 1995.
