Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        Results of Operations. 

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

     The following discussion and analysis addresses the results of the
Company's operations for the three months ended May 25, 1996, as compared to
the Company's results of operations for the three months ended May 27, 1995.
The discussion and analysis then addresses the liquidity and financial
condition of the Company.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 25, 1996, AS COMPARED TO THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 27, 1995.

     Sales for the three months ended May 25, 1996 were $97,302, or $41,708
(75%) greater than sales of $55,594 for the comparable period in the prior
year. The increase in revenues during fiscal 1997 is attributable to
substantially higher unit volume shipments of all of the Company's products as
a result of improving industry conditions. $26,758 of the $41,708 increase in
revenues for the quarter was due to increased seating product revenues
directly related to the acquisition of Burns Aerospace Corporation ("Burns")
which was completed on January 24, 1996. Excluding the effect of the Burns
acquisition revenues were up 26.9%.

     At May 25, 1996 the Company's backlog stood at approximately $475,000, up
from approximately $450,000 at February 24, 1996 and $350,000 at May 27, 1995.

     Gross profit was $32,547 (33.4% of sales) for the three months ended May
25, 1996 and was $14,105 greater than the comparable period in the prior year
of $18,442, which represented 33.2% of sales. The increase in gross profit is
the result of the higher sales volume.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11,585 (11.9% of
sales) for the three months ended May 25, 1996. This was $3,285 higher than
the comparable period in the prior year of $8,300 (14.9% of sales) and is
primarily due to the acquisition of Burns.

     Research, development and engineering expense was $9,727 or 10.0% of
sales for the three months ended May 25, 1996. For the comparable period in
the prior year, research, development and engineering expense was $13,303 or
23.9% of sales. The decrease in expense is the result of a decrease in the
level of activity during the quarter associated with MDDS, offset somewhat by
an increase in product development activity in the seating products division.

     Amortization expense for the quarter ended May 25, 1996 of $2,708 was
$375 greater than the amount recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.
This increase is attributable to the Burns acquisition.

     Operating expenses in total were essentially unchanged and represent
24.7% of sales this year verses 43.1% in the prior year.

     Interest expense, net was $6,935 for the three months ended May 25, 1996,
or $2,747 higher than interest expense of $4,188 recorded for the comparable
period in the prior year, and is due in large part to the increase in the
Company's long-term debt as a result of the Burns acquisition and the upturn
in the Company's business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     BEA's primary requirements for working capital have been directly related
to its accounts receivable and inventory levels, costs associated with the
design and development of the MDDS and other products and scheduled interest
payments on its indebtedness. BEA's working capital was $50,737, as of May 25,
1996, compared to $41,824 as of February 24, 1996.

     In January 1996 the Company amended its existing credit facilities by
increasing the aggregate principal amount that may be borrowed thereunder to
$100,000 (the "Bank Credit Facility"). The Bank Credit Facility consists of a
$25,000 Reducing Revolver and a $75,000 Revolving Facility. At May 25, 1996
indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $38,000,000,
plus letters of credit amounting to approximately $6,000,000, were outstanding
under the Bank Credit Facility. The Company's liquidity requirements consist
primarily of working capital needs and scheduled payments of interest on its
indebtedness and costs associated with integrating Burns.

     The Company believes that cash flow from operations and availability
under the Bank Credit Facility provide adequate funds for its working capital
needs, planned capital expenditures and debt service obligations through the
term of the Bank Credit Facility, which expires in January, 2001. The Company
believes that it will be able to refinance its indebtedness prior to its
maturity, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.
The Company's ability to fund its operations and make planned capital
expenditures, to make scheduled payments and to refinance its indebtedness
depends on its future operating performance and cash flow, which, in turn, are
subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other
factors, some of which are beyond its control.

     This report includes forward-looking statements which involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual experience may differ materially from that
discussed above. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are
not limited to, those discussed in "Risk Factors" in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-4 dated April 3, 1996, the Company's Form
10-K for the year ended February 24, 1996, as well as future events that have
the effect of reducing the Company's available cash balances, such as
unexpected operating losses or delays in the integration of the Company's
seating business or the delivery of the MDDS interactive video system or
capital expenditures or cash expenditures related to possible future
acquisitions.
