Note 4 Subsequent Event
- -----------------------

On January 2, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of Fasco
Consumer Products, Inc. ("FASCO"), from H.S. Investments, Inc., a subsidiary of
BTR Dunlop, Inc.  Fasco is a manufacturer of heating, ventilating and other
convenience products that are distributed through wholesale and retail markets
with annual sales of approximately $40 million.

The Company paid $23,532,000 in cash as consideration for the common stock of
Fasco and a non-compete agreement from H.S. Investments Inc. and its affiliates.
The source of the funds used by the Company to effect the acquisition was
borrowings under its revolving credit agreement which was amended to increase
the facility from $50 million to $75 million to accommodate the transaction.
The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the
purchase price will be allocated to Fasco's assets and liabilities based upon
their respective fair values.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales were $97.5 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1995 compared to
$78.1 million in the prior year.  For the six months ended December 31, 1995,
sales were $171.3 million compared to $139.5 million in the prior year.  The
largest sales increase was in the other electric appliance category which
reflects sales of Patton Electric heaters and fans.  Patton was acquired in
April 1995 and contributed $6.0 million for the quarter and $21.0 million for
the six month period.  Massagers also had significant sales increases which
contributed to the growth in other electric appliance sales.  Kitchen heating
appliances also recorded significant increases in volume due to higher sales of
Crock Pot(R) slow cookers and toasters.

Sales by product category were as follows (in millions):

</TABLE>

Gross profit was $27.3 million (28.0% of sales) for the quarter ended December
31, 1995 compared to $22.1 million (28.3% of sales) in the prior year.  For the
first six months of the current fiscal year, gross profit was $48.7 million
(28.4% of sales) compared to $39.8 million (28.5% of sales) in the prior year.
Raw material prices have stabilized following the dramatic increases experienced
in the prior year.

Selling expenses were $10.0 million (10.2% of sales) for the quarter ended
December 31, 1995 compared to $8.2 million (10.5% of sales) in the prior year.
For the six months ended December 31, 1995 such expenses were $18.6 million
(10.8% of sales) compared to $14.9 million (10.7% of sales) in the prior year.
Selling expenses were virtually unchanged as a percentage of sales as the
Company expanded its sales management in order to facilitate expected growth and
also increased advertising expenditures for the fall.

General and administrative expenses were $2.9 million for the December 1995
quarter compared to $2.3 million in the prior year.  For the six months ended
December 31, 1995, general and administrative expenses were $5.5 million
compared to $4.7 million in the prior year.  The higher expenses reflect
increases in product engineering as well as management and support personnel
required because of recent and expected future growth.

Interest expense was $3.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 1995
compared to $2.1 million in the prior year as a result of higher borrowings
required to finance the April 1995 acquisition of Patton Electric.

Net earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 were $7.5 million ($0.75
per share) compared to $6.3 million ($0.66 per share) for the same period in the
prior year.  For the six months ended December 31, 1995, net earnings were $12.5
million ($1.26 per share) compared to $10.7 million ($1.13 per share) in the
prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has in place $46 million of 6.42% unsecured term notes having a
final maturity of January 2003 with required payments of $4 million per year in
fiscal 1996 and 1997. Additionally, the Company has a $50 million, unsecured
revolving credit facility which expires in June 1998 and bears interest at a
floating rate of LIBOR plus .75%. In December 1995, the Company negotiated an
additional $25 million commitment under the revolving credit facility effective
through December 15, 1996. The Company used the proceeds to fund the acquisition
of Fasco Consumer Products on January 2, 1996. As of December 31, 1995, the
Company had approximately $20.0 million available under the working capital
line.

During the six months ended December 31, 1995, the Company used $12.4 million of
cash for operating activities. The Company historically requires a significant
amount of cash each fall to fund its build-up in inventories and accounts
receivable during its peak selling season. The extremely high sales volume
during the second half of the December 1995 quarter resulted in a substantial
increase in accounts receivable balances as of December 31, 1995. The cash
required for the seasonal working capital is funded through borrowings on the
working capital line.

The Company plans to make capital expenditures of approximately $5.0 million to
$6.0 million during fiscal 1996. Management believes that cash generated from
operations and its bank credit facility will be sufficient to meet its cash
requirements for the foreseeable future.

     year end) delivered to the Banks pursuant to SECTION 4.1.1 hereof. The
     adjustment (upwards or downwards, as appropriate), if any, to the
     Applicable Margin shall be effective on the tenth (10th) Banking Day after
     the Agent receives such audited annual Consolidated financial statements.
     In the event the Agent has not received the required Consolidated financial
     statements pursuant to SECTION 4.1.1 hereof within the time period provided
     therein, the maximum Leverage Ratio set forth in the foregoing table shall
     be conclusively presumed to be correct until the tenth (10th) Banking Day

     at which time the Adjusted Margin shall be adjusted based upon the Leverage
     Ratio determined from such Consolidated financial statements.

         (d) In no event shall the Applicable Margin be adjusted downward if
     there exists a Default or Potential Default on the date on which such
     downward adjustment would otherwise become effective until such time as the
     Default or Potential Default has been cured, waived or ceases to exist. The
     provisions set forth in this definition are not intended to and shall not
     be construed as authorizing any violation by the Borrower of SECTION 4.1.4
     hereof or a waiver of SECTION 4.1.4 hereof or any commitment by the Banks
     to waive any violation by the Borrower of SECTION 4.1.4 hereof.

     subject to an Optional Rate, shall be due and payable in arrears on the
     last day of the LIBOR Interest Period or CD Rate Interest Period to which
