accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries after eliminating all 
significant intercompany transactions and reflect all normal recurring 
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a 
fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the 
interim periods reported.  The results of operations for the three months 
ended March 29, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be 
expected for the full year.

          The Company's fiscal quarters are on a 13 week basis ending on the 
Sunday nearest to the calendar quarter end.  The first fiscal quarters of 
1998 and 1997 ended on March 29, 1998 and March 30, 1997, respectively.

(3)  EARNINGS PER SHARE

       In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") 
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings 
per Share."  This statement provides for the presentation of (i) "basic" 
earnings per share, which is computed by dividing net income available to 
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares 
outstanding and (ii) "diluted" earnings per share, which is computed by 
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares 
outstanding plus the dilutive effect of other securities.  The Company's 
other securities are (i) Series C Convertible Preferred stock and (ii) 
outstanding common stock options.

       The table below details the components of the basic and diluted 
earnings per share ("EPS") calculations:

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

Forward-Looking Statements

         "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Result of Operations" includes forward-looking statements which are subject 
to certain risks and uncertainties.  The Company's actual future results and 
trends may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such 
statements.  Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not 
limited to, the Company's dependence on conditions in the airline industry, 
commercial aircraft build rates (primarily Boeing and Airbus), the level of 
defense spending, competitive pricing pressures, cost of material and labor, 
and other risks described from time to time in the Company's registration 
statements and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Summary

         The following table sets forth certain items from the Company's 
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the periods indicated and

Quarter Ended March 29, 1998 Compared to Quarter Ended March 30, 1997


         NET SALES.  Net sales increased 41.0% or $13.2 million, to $45.4 
million in the first quarter of 1998 from $32.2 million in the first quarter 
of 1997.  This growth was primarily the result of increased customer demand, 
which occurred as commercial aircraft build rates increased.  In addition, 
net sales growth was enhanced by the expansion of existing product lines, the 
development of variations of existing products and the introduction of new 
products.


                                      10

     GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased 51.1% to $13.9 million or 30.6% of 
net sales in the first quarter of 1998 from $9.2 million or 28.7% of net 
sales in the first quarter of 1997. This improvement in gross profit margin 
was primarily due to the increase in sales volume (which resulted in a 
greater absorption of fixed costs) and improved productivity.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses increased 44.2% to $6.2 million in the first quarter 
of 1998 from $4.3 million in the first quarter of 1997, and were up 0.1% as a 
percentage of sales. The $1.9 million increase in these expenses was 
attributable primarily to additional employee costs needed to support the 
increased sales volume.

     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense decreased 53.9% to $0.6 million in 
the first quarter of 1998 from $1.3 million in the first quarter of 1997, as 
a result of using proceeds received from the initial public offering in May 
1997 to decrease outstanding debt by $24.0 million.

     NET INCOME. Net income for the first quarter of 1998 increased to $4.3 
million or 48 cents per share compared to $2.2 million or 32 cents per share 
for the same period in 1997.

     BACKLOG.  Backlog at March 29, 1998 increased 35.4% or $26.3 million, to 
$100.6 million from $74.3 million at March 30, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's liquidity requirements consist primarily of working 
capital needs, capital expenditures and scheduled payments of interest on its 
indebtedness to General Electric Capital Corporation.  The Company's working 
capital requirements have increased as a result of higher accounts receivable 
and higher inventory levels needed to support its growth in net sales.  The 
Company's working capital was $39.7 million as of March 29, 1998, compared to 
$29.8 million as of March 30, 1997.

     For the first quarter of 1998, net cash used in operating activities was 
$ 2.1 million, as compared to $0.3 million for the first quarter of 1997.  
The primary sources of cash from operations during the first quarter of 1998 
included net income of $4.3 million and non-cash charges for depreciation and 
amortization of $1.2 million, offset by increases in accounts receivable and 
inventories of $3.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and decreases in 
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.0 million and $1.5 million, 
respectively.  The primary sources of cash from operations during the first 
quarter of 1997 included net income of $2.2 million, non-cash charges for 
depreciation and amortization of $0.9 million, an increase in accounts 
payable of $0.2 million and an increase in accrued expenses of $0.5 million, 
offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventories of $3.2 million 
and $0.9 million, respectively.

     The Company's net cash used in investing activities in the first quarter 
of 1998 was $3.5 million, consisting primarily of $4.2 million in capital 
expenditures and $2.4 million related to the acquisition of selected 
operating assets of Aerospace Precision Systems, Inc., offset by $3.1 million 
in net redemptions of marketable securities, as compared to net cash used in 
investing activities in the first quarter of 1997 of $3.1 million, which 
consisted primarily of $3.1 million in capital expenditures.

     The Company's net cash provided by financing activities in the first 
quarter of 1998 was $6.1 million, consisting of net borrowings of $6.1 
million on debt, as compared to net borrowings on debt of $3.2 million in the 
first quarter of 1997.

     The Company believes that internally generated cash flow and amounts that
may be available under the Company's revolving line-of-credit will provide
adequate funds to meet its working 


                                      11

<PAGE>

capital needs, planned capital expenditures and debt service obligations.  
However, the Company's ability to fund its operations, make planned capital 
expenditures and make scheduled payments on, and refinance, its indebtedness 
depends on its future operating performance and cash flow.  Future operating 
performance  and cash flow are, in turn, subject to prevailing economic 
conditions and to financial, business and other factors affecting the 
Company, some of which are beyond the Company's control.

     During the first quarters of 1998 and 1997, inflation has not had a 
significant impact on the Company's operations.

Other Developments

     During the past several years, the Company's growth in net sales has 
occurred primarily as a result of increased customer demand due to the 
increases in commercial aircraft build rates. Boeing, a significant customer 
of the Company, has announced that it has been experiencing significant 
production difficulties affecting build rates.  There can be no assurance 
that such difficulties will not affect Boeing's demand for the Company's 
products or that commercial aircraft build rates will continue to increase.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Not Applicable


                                    PART II

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

is threatened with, or becomes a party to, legal actions and other 
proceedings. Management is of the opinion that the outcome of currently known 
legal actions and proceedings to which it is a party will not, singly or in 
the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

     In connection with the acquisition of selected operating assets and 
assumption of certain liabilities of Aerospace Precision Systems, Inc. 
("APSI") on January 23, 1998, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common 
stock to the Burns Heirs' Trust, the owner of APSI, pursuant to Regulation D 
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended. These shares were 
valued based upon the average closing price of the Company's publicly traded 
common stock, as quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System for the 20 
preceding trading days.
