(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

           The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein 
have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information 
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted 
pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying condensed 
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the 
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997. These 
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial 
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on 
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

          The condensed consolidated financial statements include the 
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 nine months ended 
September 27, 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 third fiscal quarters of 1998 
and 1997 ended on September 27, 1998 and September 28, 1997, respectively.

(2)  INVENTORIES

          Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (FIFO) or market and 
include the cost of material, labor and factory overhead. Inventories consist 
of the following at September 27, 1998 and December 31, 1997:

(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:

(6)  RECENT ACQUISITIONS

         On July 28, 1998, the Company acquired all of the issued and 
outstanding common stock of M & M Machine & Tool Company Co. ("M & M")(this 
transaction being referred to herein as the "Acquisition"). As consideration 
for the Acquisition, the Company paid the M & M stockholders of $12 million 
in cash and 354,276 shares of the Company's common stock. Additionally, there 
are two contingent adjustments to the purchase price that will be paid 60% in 
cash and 40% in shares of the Company's common stock. The first contingency 
will be a dollar-for-dollar adjustment to the purchase price if M & M's net 
worth at closing exceeds or falls below $4.5 million. The second contingency 
will be additional consideration of no less than zero and no more than $2 
million which will be based on M & M's recasted earnings before interest and 
taxes and transaction costs related to the Acquisition for its fiscal year 
ended October 31, 1998. A registration rights agreement was also entered into 
by the Company with M & M stockholders, permitting them to exercise up to two 
demand registration rights per calendar year for offerings with an aggregate 
price exceeding $1 million. The registration rights agreement also accorded 
the M & M stockholders piggyback registration rights.

         M & M, located in Huntington Beach, California specializes in the 
machining of structural components and assemblies for aircraft. These 
components and assemblies include pylons, flap hinges, struts, wing fittings, 
landing gear parts, spars, and many others. M & M has current annualized 
sales in excess of $20 million.

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 and aerospace industries, 
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

Three Months Ended September 27, 1998 Compared to the Three Months Ended 
September 28, 1997

         NET SALES. Net sales increased 19.5% or $7.4 million, to $45.3 
million in the third quarter of 1998 from $37.9 million in the third quarter 
of 1997. This growth was primarily the result of additional sales from 
recently acquired businesses. In addition, net sales growth was enhanced by 
increased customer demand (which occurred as commercial aircraft build rates 
increased), the expansion of existing product lines, the development of 
variations of existing products and the introduction of new products.

                                      11

<PAGE>         

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased 13.5% to $13.5 million in the 
third quarter of 1998 from $11.9 million in the third quarter of 1997; 
however, as a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased 1.7% to 29.7% 
in the third quarter of 1998 from 31.4% in the third quarter of 1997. This 
reduction in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to 
negative profit margins in specialty automation equipment.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and 
administrative expenses increased 19.6% to $6.7 million in the third quarter 
of 1998 from $5.6 million in the third quarter of 1997, and were up 0.1% as a 
percentage of net sales. The $1.1 million increase in these expenses was 
attributable primarily to acquisitions of businesses as well as additional 
employee costs needed to support the increased sales volume.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased 57.1% to $1.1 million 
in the third quarter of 1998 from $0.7 million in the third quarter of 1997, 
primarily as a result of additional debt incurred during the third quarter of 
1998 to fund the acquisition of M & M Machine & Tool Co.

         NET INCOME. Net income for the third quarter of 1998 remained stable 
at $3.4 million or 37 cents per share compared to $3.4 million or 38 cents 
per  share for the same period in 1997.

         BACKLOG. Backlog at September 27, 1998 increased 29.5% or $26.0 
million, to $114.3 million from $88.3 million at September 28, 1997.

Nine Months Ended September 27, 1998 Compared to the Nine Months Ended 
September 28, 1997

         NET SALES. Net sales increased 28.2% or $30.2 million, to $137.5 
million in the first nine months of 1998 from $107.3 million in the same 
period 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 acquisition of businesses, the 
expansion of existing product lines, the development of variations of 
existing products and the introduction of new products.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased 30.4% to $42.0 million or 30.5% 
of net sales in the first nine months of 1998 from $32.2 million or 30.0% of 
net sales in the same period 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 30% to $19.5 million in the first nine 
months of 1998 from $15.0 million in the same period of 1997, and were up 
0.2% as a percentage of sales. The $4.5 million increase in these expenses 
was attributable primarily to acquisitions of businesses as well as 
additional employee costs needed to support the increased sales volume.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased 20% to $2.4 million in 
the first nine months of 1998 from $3.0 million in the same period 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 nine months of 1998 increased 
to $12.0 million or $1.34 per share compared to $8.5 million or $1.07 per 
share for the same period in 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 ("GECC"), which 
beneficially holds a majority of the Company's common stock. 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 $54.2 million as of September 27, 
1998, compared to $38.7 million as of December 31, 1997. The increase in 
working capital was primarily due the Company increasing its term loan with 
GECC on July 27, 1998, by $24.7 million, of which $12.0 million was used to 
fund the acquisition of M & M Machine & Tool Co. and the remaining $12.7 
million was used to pay down the Company's revolving line-of-credit.

         For the first nine months of 1998, net cash provided by operating 
activities was $4.9 million, as compared to net cash provided by operating 
activities of $4.7 million for the same period of 1997. The primary sources 
of cash from operations during the first nine months of 1998 included net 
income of $12.0 million and non-cash charges for depreciation and 
amortization of $4.4 million, offset by increases in accounts receivable and 
inventories of $1.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively, and a decrease in 
accounts payable of $4.6 million. The primary sources of cash from operations 
during the same period of 1997 included net income of $8.5 million, non-cash 
charges for depreciation and amortization of $2.7 million, and an increase in 
accrued expenses of $2.4 million, offset by increases in accounts receivable 
and inventories of $7.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

         The Company's net cash used in investing activities in the first 
nine months of 1998 was $26.4 million, consisting primarily of $13.5 million 
in capital expenditures and $15.9 million related to the acquisitions of 
businesses, offset by $2.6 million in net redemptions of marketable 
securities, as compared to net cash used in investing activities in the same 
period of 1997 of $12.7 million, which consisted primarily of $11.6 million 
in capital expenditures and $1.4 million in net purchases of marketable 
securities.

         The Company's net cash provided by financing activities in the first 
nine months of 1998 was $23.6 million, consisting of net borrowings of $23.6 
million on debt, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities in 
the same period of 1997 of $7.5 million, consisting of $27.6 million in net 
proceeds from the initial public offering in May 1997, offset by net payments 
of $20.1 million on debt.

         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 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 nine months of 1998 and 1997, inflation has not had 
a significant impact on the Company's operations.

Other Developments

         In connection with the acquisition of M & M (as discussed in Note 6 
to the September 27, 1998 condensed consolidated financial statements), on 
July 27, 1998, the Company entered into the Second Restated and Amended 
Credit Agreement with GECC (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement 
increased the size of the Company's credit facility to a maximum of $65 
million, including $50 million in term loans and a $15 million revolving 
line-of-credit. The Credit Agreement contains sub-facilities for letters of 
credit and swing line loans.

         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 production 
difficulties affecting build rates. There can be no assurance that such 
difficulties will not affect Boeing's demand for the Company's products. 
Additionally, the aerospace industry has recently experienced a flattening of 
commercial aircraft build rates which have and may continue to impact 
incoming orders.

Year 2000 Compliance

         The Company has in place detailed programs to address Year 2000 
readiness in its internal computer systems and its key customers and 
suppliers. The Company's Year 2000 readiness team includes both internal 
personnel and external consultants. The team's activities are designed to 
ensure that there will be no material adverse effects on the Company's 
business operations and that transactions with customers, suppliers, and 
financial institutions will be fully supported. The specific costs of 
achieving Year 2000 compliance have been, and are expected to be, immaterial.

         The Company has already converted its most significant manufacturing 
facilities to new software systems which are Year 2000 compliant. The Company 
expects that all other critical systems will be compliant by March 1999 and 
fully tested by September 1999. The Company is also in the process of 
ensuring that its significant suppliers, customers and financial institutions 
have appropriate plans to ensure that they are Year 2000 compliant. Risk 
assessment, readiness evaluation, action plans and contingency plans related 
to third parties are expected to be completed during the first half of 1999.

         While the Company believes its planning efforts are adequate to 
address its Year 2000 concerns, there can be no guarantee that all internal 
systems, as well as those of third parties on which the Company relies upon, 
will be converted on a timely basis and will not have a material affect on 
the Company's operations.

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 M & M Machine & Tool Co. 
("M & M") on July 28, 1998, the Company issued 354,276 shares of common stock 
to the M & M stockholders 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.
