In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated

Company as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and

footnotes have not been duplicated herein.

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

On January 7, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets including inventory,
equipment and tooling necessary for the production of the kitchen electrics
product line from Dazey Corporation.  These products will be manufactured in the
Company's Sedalia plant and are expected to generate annual sales of
approximately $20 million to $25 million.  The Dazey products will be sold under
the Rival brand name and include fryers, combination cookers, skillets, indoor
grills and waffle makers.

The Company paid approximately $10.4 million in cash as consideration for the
assets. The source of funds used by the Company to effect the acquisition was
borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The acquisition will be
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price will be
allocated to the assets acquired 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 $121.6 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1996 compared to
$97.5 million in the prior year.  For the six months ended December 31, 1996,
sales were $221.2 million compared to $171.3 million in the prior year.  The
sales increase was the result of Fasco products (acquired in January 1996) and
Bionaire products (acquired in April 1996) as sales of the Company's other
products were essentially flat.

Net sales by business unit were as follows (in millions):

</TABLE>

Gross profit was $35.0 million (28.8% of sales) for the quarter ended December
31, 1996 compared to $27.3 million (28.0% of sales) in the prior year.  For the
first six months of the current fiscal year, gross profit was $63.6 million
(28.8% of sales) compared to $48.7 million (28.4% of sales) in the prior year.
Raw material prices have stabilized and, as a result, modest price increases
implemented in the past eighteen months have improved margins slightly.

Selling expenses were $14.2 million (11.7% of sales) for the quarter ended
December 31, 1996 compared to $10.0 million (10.2% of sales) in the prior year.
For the six months ended December 31, 1996 such expenses were $27.5 million
(12.4% of sales) compared to $18.6 million (10.8% of sales) in the prior year.
The higher selling expenses as a percentage of sales is the result of expenses
related to the international and industrial business units.  Although the
Company expects to reduce selling expenses of these business units as a
percentage of sales over the next twelve months, they will likely continue to be
higher than the Company's kitchen electrics and home environment business units.

General and administrative expenses were $3.4 million for the December 1996
quarter compared to $2.8 million in the prior year.  For the six months ended
December 31, 1996, general and administrative expenses were $6.7 million
compared to $5.4 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.  General and
administrative expenses declined slightly as a percentage of sales.

Interest expense was $5.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 1996
compared to $3.2 million in the prior year as a result of higher borrowings
required to finance recent acquisitions.  Average interest rates were also
slightly higher.

Net earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 were $8.6 million ($0.86
per share) compared to $7.5 million ($0.75 per share) for the same period in the
prior year.  For the six months ended December 31, 1996, net earnings were $13.9
million ($1.39 per share) compared to $12.5 million ($1.26 per share) in the
prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 1996 the Company had $92 million in long term debt (including
$4 million current portion) and $85 million in revolving loan commitments.
Revolving credit loans outstanding were $65.1 million as of such date.  The long
term debt requires periodic principal payments including $4.0 million in each of
January 1997 and 1998 and has a final maturity in 2008.  The revolving credit
facilities include a $75 million U.S. bank line and a Canadian facility for the
Canadian dollar equivalent of U.S. $10.0 million.  The U.S. revolving credit
facility expires in June 1999 and currently bears interest at a floating rate of
LIBOR plus .75%.

During the six months ended December 31, 1996, the Company used $7.4 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.  These cash requirements are funded
through borrowings on the working capital line.

The Company plans to make capital expenditures of approximately $10.0 million
during fiscal 1997, including $4 million for a new distribution center.
Management believes that cash generated from operations and its bank credit
facility will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable
future.
