               accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial
               statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
               fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1994, the
               results of operations for the three and nine-month periods
               ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, and cash flows for the
               nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.  The
               December 31, 1993 condensed balance sheet data was derived
               from audited financial statements, but does not include all
               disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
               principles.  The accompanying financial statements contain
               only normal recurring adjustments.  All financial
               information has been prepared in conformity with the
               accounting principles reflected in the financial statements
               included in the 1993 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K

          3.   Unusual Items

                    In 1994, the Company sold its investment in its
               subsidiary, Ferre Plana, S.A., located in Barcelona, Spain. 
               The loss on disposal of $6.6 million is included in the
               condensed statement of consolidated operations as an unusual
               charge.  This disposal charge was for the loss on the sale
               of Ferre Plana's net assets, including the write-off of the
               related intangible assets and cumulative translation
               adjustment account.

          3.   Unusual Items (continued)

                    Included in the fourth quarter 1993 restructuring
               charge was a provision for the liquidation of the Assembly
               Systems Division, a fastener segment product line.  During
               the first quarter of 1994, the Company entered into an
               agreement to sell this product line and closed this sale on
               April 22, 1994.  As a result of this modification of the
               restructuring plan and the related change in estimate, and
               because actual restructuring costs have been lower than
               estimated costs, the Company recorded a $1.5 million credit
               for the reversal of excess reserves associated with the 1993
               restructuring charge in the first quarter of 1994 and a $1.6
               million gain on the sale of ASD's net assets in the second
               quarter of 1994.

                    During the fourth quarter of 1993, the restructuring
               plan was modified to retain certain businesses previously
               held for sale.  As a result of this modification, the
               condensed statement of consolidated operations for the three
               and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1993 has been
               reclassified for comparative purposes.

          4.   Income Taxes

                    For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the
               effective tax rate is higher than the United States federal
               statutory tax rate due to the inability to recognize a full
               tax benefit on the disposal loss of the Company's subsidiary
               in Spain.  The Company's effective tax rate for the nine
               months ended September 30, 1993 differs from the statutory
               tax rate due to certain losses for which no tax benefits
               were available.

          5.   Earnings Per Share

                    Per share data was calculated using the weighted
               average number of shares outstanding during the periods. 
               Common share equivalents in the form of stock options have
               been excluded from the calculations as their dilutive effect
               is not material, or their effect is anti-dilutive.

          6.   Cumulative Translation Adjustments

                    The following summarizes the changes in translation
               adjustments during the nine-month period ended September 30,
               1994:

               End of period                      $ (6,482)

          7.   Environmental Contingency

                    The Company has been identified as a potentially
               responsible party by various federal and state authorities
               for clean up or removal of waste from various disposal
               sites.  At September 30, 1994, the accrued liability for
               environmental remediation represents management's best
               estimate of the probable and reasonably estimable costs
               related to environmental remediation.  The measurement of
               the liability is evaluated quarterly based on currently
               available information.  As the scope of the Company's
               environmental liability becomes more clearly defined it is
               possible that additional reserves may be necessary. 
               Accordingly, it is possible that the Company's results of
               operations in future quarterly or annual periods could be
               materially affected.  However, management believes that the
               overall costs of environmental remediation will be incurred
               over an extended period of time and, as a result, are not
               expected to have a material impact on the consolidated
               financial position of the Company.

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

          Introduction

               The Company's operating results, excluding the effects of
          unusual items, improved for the three month and nine month
          periods ended September 30, 1994 compared to the same periods in
          1993.  Incoming orders and sales are above prior year levels in
          both of the Company's business segments.  The operating profit
          improvement reflects the impact of the sale of unprofitable
          business units as well as the cost reduction actions implemented
          in the first quarter of 1994.

            Materials            3,261     2,112        8,075     5,727

          Net Sales

               Net sales in the third quarter of 1994 were $88.5 million,
          compared to $74.4 million in the third quarter of 1993.  Net
          sales for the nine months were $257.9 million, compared to $247.1
          million for the same period in 1993.  Excluding 1993 sales of the
          Assembly Systems Division and the fastener operation in Spain
          (both businesses have been sold by the Company), net sales
          increased in the third quarter by $17.6 million, or 24.8 percent,
          and by $23.3 million, or 9.9 percent for the nine-month period.

               Excluding 1993 sales of businesses sold, fastener segment
          sales increased $10.5 million for the third quarter and $14.9
          million for the nine-month period.  Aerospace fastener sales
          increased $4.5 million for the third quarter and for the nine-
          month period; however, demand for certain aerospace product 


<PAGE>11
          lines is weak.  Sales in the transportation and industrial
          fastener markets continue to be strong as sales increased by $5.9
          million for the third quarter and $10.4 million for the nine-
          month period.  This increase is due to the strengthening
          automotive business in the United States and western Europe
          primarily the United Kingdom.  The Company's automotive and
          Unbrako product manufacturing operations in England and Ireland
          are initiating steps to gradually increase capacity to meet the
          long-term demands of this market.

               Materials segment sales increased by $7.1 million in the
          third quarter of 1994 and by $8.4 million for the nine-month
          period.  The increase in sales is attributed to the strong demand
          for magnetic materials from the domestic automobile and anti-
          theft security markets and the increasing demand for cobalt-based
          medical and stainless steel alloys and proprietary superalloys
          from the investment casting market.  Installation of new air melt
          processing equipment was completed in April 1994 and has
          increased capacity and improved customer delivery time.

          Operating Earnings

               Excluding all unusual items, operating earnings for the
          fastener segment increased $1.6 million in the third quarter and
          $1.2 million for the nine-month period when compared to the same
          periods in 1993.  The improvement in earnings results from
          avoiding losses generated in 1993 from the Assembly Systems
          Division and the manufacturing operations in Spain (these
          businesses were sold).  In addition, the 1993 manufacturing
          inefficiencies that resulted from the 1993 start-up of fastener
          operations transferred from other facilities significantly
          decreased in 1994.  Despite the increase in fastener operating
          earnings, the Company's Cleveland plant incurred excess
          manufacturing costs caused by certain material and equipment
          problems.  The Company has purchased new manufacturing equipment,
          upgraded management personnel and expanded employee training
          programs to improve future performance at the Cleveland plant.

               In the materials segment, third quarter 1994 operating
          earnings of $3.3 million, or 11.3 percent of sales, were up from
          $2.1 million, or 9.7 percent of sales in the third quarter of
          1993.  Operating earnings for the nine-month period of 1994 were
          $8.1 million, or 10.1 percent of sales, compared to the same
          period in 1993 of $5.7 million, or 8 percent of sales.  The
          increase in earnings is attributed to higher sales of magnetic
          materials, better product mix of alloy sales and savings from an
          overhead reduction program.


<PAGE>12
          Other Expense

               Interest expense increased $327,000 in the third quarter and
          $726,000 for the nine-month period when compared to the same
          periods in 1993.  The increase in interest expense is the result
          of higher levels of corporate debt and an increase in interest
          rates.  As a result of improved operating performance by the
          magnetic materials joint venture in Adelanto, California and the
          Company's Brazilian affiliate, the Company's equity in earnings
          of affiliates improved by $901,000 in the nine-month period.

          Income Taxes

               For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the effective
          tax rate is higher than the United States federal statutory tax
          rate due to the inability to recognize a full tax benefit on the
          loss on disposal of the Company's subsidiary in Spain.  The
          Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September
          30, 1993 differs from the statutory tax rate due to certain
          losses for which no tax benefits were available.

          Earnings

               Net earnings for the third quarter of 1994 were $2 million,
          or $.39 per share, compared to a net loss of $240,000, or $.05
          per share for the third quarter of 1993, prior to taking a pre-
          tax restructuring charge of $8.8 million in the prior year. 
          Including the 1993 restructuring charge, the net loss for the
          third quarter of 1993 was $6.8 million, or $1.34 per share.

               Excluding all unusual charges, the net earnings for the
          nine-month period of 1994 was $5.1 million, or $.99 per share,
          compared to $1.9 million, or $.37 per share for the nine-month
          period of 1993.  Including all unusual charges, the net earnings
          for the nine-month period of 1994 was $1.6 million, or $.30 per
          share, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million, or $.75 per share
          for the same period in 1993.

               When compared to the same periods in the prior year, the
          third quarter and the nine-month period had improved gross profit
          amounts (due mainly to the higher sales volume), lower selling,
          general and administrative expense (due to a reduction in the
          non-direct work force) and higher interest expense.


<PAGE>13
          Orders and Backlog

               Incoming orders for the third quarter of 1994 were $87.9
          million compared to $80.4 million in 1993, a 9.3 percent
          increase.  Incoming orders for the nine months ended September
          30, 1994 were $275.1 million compared to $259.4 million for the
          same period in 1993, a 6.1 percent increase.  Excluding 1993
          orders for the Assembly Systems Division and the Company's
          subsidiary in Spain, orders increased in all major markets for
          the quarter and nine-month period.  Backlog at September 30, 1994
          was $100.6 million, compared to $89.5 million on the same date a
          year ago.

          Unusual Items

               In 1994, the Company sold its investment in its subsidiary,
          Ferre Plana, S.A., located in Barcelona, Spain.  Ferre Plana,
          S.A., which manufactured commodity industrial fasteners, had
          incurred cumulative operating losses of $9.4 million since it was
          acquired in 1990, and would have incurred additional losses and
          required a substantial cash investment in 1994.  The loss on
          disposal of $6.6 million is included in the condensed statement
          of consolidated operations as an unusual charge.  This disposal
          charge was for the loss on the sale of Ferre Plana's net assets,
          including the write-off of the related intangible assets and
          cumulative translation adjustment account.

               Included in the fourth quarter 1993 restructuring charge was
          a provision for the liquidation of the Assembly Systems Division
          (ASD), a fastener segment product line.  ASD, which manufactured
          computer-controlled fastener tightening equipment, had
          accumulated operating losses totaling $11.6 million over the past
          five years.  During the first quarter of 1994, the Company
          entered into an agreement to sell this product line and closed
          this sale on April 22, 1994.  As a result of this modification of
          the restructuring plan and the related change in estimate, and
          because actual restructuring costs have been lower than estimated
          costs, the Company recorded a $1.5 million credit for the
          reversal of excess reserves associated with the 1993
          restructuring charge in the first quarter of 1994 and a $1.6
          million gain on the sale of ASD's net assets in the second
          quarter of 1994.

               The net loss for the third quarter of 1993 included a pre-
          tax restructuring charge of $8.8 million.  The Company was
          proceeding with its restructuring plan to consolidate certain
          fastener manufacturing operations in the United States.  The 1993
          restructuring charge was the result of these manufacturing
          consolidation costs, an early retirement program, work force
          reductions and the revaluation of certain assets held for sale.


<PAGE>14
     Rollforward of the Restructure Accrual ($000s)

          The 1993 consolidated statement of operations contained a pre-tax
     restructuring charge of $32.4 million.  At December 31, 1993, the Company
     had a $9.9 million accrual on its consolidated balance sheet related to
     various aspects of the restructuring plan.  During 1994, the Company has
     revised and completed various aspects of the restructuring plan as
     described in the following table:

          Liquidity and Capital Resources

               Management considers liquidity to be the ability to generate
          adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs and capital resources
          to be the resources from which such cash can be obtained,
          principally from operating and external sources.  The Company
          believes that capital resources available to it will be
          sufficient to meet the needs of its business, both on a short-
          term and long-term basis.

               Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine
          months of 1994 was $3.9 million compared to $3.3 million for the
          same period in 1993.  The additional net cash provided by
          operating activities is attributed to increased earnings from
          operations partially offset by the increase in working capital in
          1994 to support higher business levels.  Cash expenditures in
          1994 of $7.6 million were made to fund severance payments and
          other costs related to the 1993 restructuring plan and are
          included in net cash provided by operating activities.

               The changes in cash used by investing activities is
          attributed to the 1994 net proceeds from the sale of the Assembly
          Systems Division and the Company's aircraft compared to the 1993
          net proceeds from the sale and liquidation of two distribution
          businesses in Europe.  The Company has received a commitment from
          a local college to purchase, for approximately $10 million the
          building and most of the land owned by the Company in Newtown,
          Pennsylvania, the former site of the Company's corporate
          headquarters and divisional support operations.  The transaction
          is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1994.  The
          Company spent $8.9 million for capital expenditures in the first
          nine months of 1994 and has budgeted $14.3 million for the full
          year of 1994, a $1.3 million increase from the amount reported on
          Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

               The Company's total debt to equity ratio was 83 percent at
          September 30, 1994, compared to 87 percent at December 31, 1993. 
          Total debt was $91.2  million at September 30, 1994 and $89.2
          million at December 31, 1993.   As of September 30, 1994, the 
          Company is permitted to borrow an additional $17 million under
          its loan agreements.  As a result of the Company's decision to
          dispose of its investment in its subsidiary in Spain, the Company
          amended certain debt agreements to modify certain financial
          covenants effective March 30, 1994.  During the second quarter,
          the Company increased its borrowing capacity under the bank
          credit agreement by $5 million, increasing the total available
          borrowings under the facility to $55 million.  Additionally, the
          Company obtained a commitment to finance $2.5 million of
          equipment under operating leases.

               Significant cash flow is expected to be generated from the
          distribution to its shareholders of record as of a record date to
          be determined, transferable rights to subscribe for the purchase
          of approximately 515,000 shares of common stock currently held in
          the Company's treasury at a yet to be determined subscription
          price.  The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the
          offering to reduce revolving debt under its bank credit agreement
          and for other general corporate purposes.  Although the Company
          intends to consummate the rights offering as soon as practicable,
          the offering is subject to certain conditions, including the
          effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities
          Act of 1933.

               Significant proceeds from the sale of the Newtown,
          Pennsylvania property and the sale of the Company's common stock
          pursuant to the rights offering could trigger the "Mandatory
          Prepayment" provisions of the Company's debt agreements.  Under
          these provisions, the Company is required to prepay debt and/or
          have its debt capacity reduced if the aggregate net after tax
          proceeds from these transactions exceed certain limits, unless
          the lenders waive such requirements.  The limits are equal to $8
          million from the sale of assets and $10 million raised from new
          equity.  The Company is currently seeking waivers from the
          lending institutions from these "Mandatory Prepayment"
          provisions.

          Item 4.   Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders

               None

          Item 5.   Other Information

               On August 24, 1994 the Company announced that it expects to
          distribute to its shareholders of record as of a record date to
          be determined, transferable rights to subscribe for the purchase
          of approximately 515,000 shares of common stock currently held in
          the Company's treasury at a yet to be determined subscription
          price.

               Shareholders are expected to receive one right to subscribe
          for the purchase of one share of common stock for every 10 shares
          of common stock held of record on the record date.  It is
          anticipated that the rights will be represented by transferable
          subscription certificates and will trade on the New York Stock
          Exchange.

               In connection with the rights offering, the Company expects
          to enter into an agreement with Tinicum Enterprises, Inc. and
          other members of Tinicum's Schedule 13D reporting group with
          respect to the Company's common stock, pursuant to which such
          persons would agree, subject to certain conditions, to exercise
          their subscription rights and purchase any shares of common stock
          remaining unsold after the expiration of the rights offering. 
          Tinicum Enterprises, Inc., together with the other members of its
          Schedule 13D reporting group, presently owns approximately 9.9%
          of the Company's outstanding common stock.  The terms of such
          agreement and certain related agreements are described more fully
          in a registration statement filed with the Securities and
          Exchange Commission.

               The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the
          offering to reduce revolving debt under its bank credit agreement
          and for other general corporate purposes.

               Although the Company intends to consummate the rights
          offering as soon as practicable, the offering is subject to
          certain conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration
          statement under the Securities Act of 1933.

           Exhibit 11 - Computation of Dilution (Anti-Dilution)
                        of Earnings per Share Resulting from

   (a)  All options are exercisable under a nonqualified plan.  The proceeds 
        from assumed exercise of options aggregated $10,871,068 and 
        $8,400,415 in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 
        1994 respectively; the proceeds from assumed exercise of options 
        aggregated $9,495,704 and $6,166,211 in the three and nine-month  
        periods ended September 30, 1993, respectively.  The proceeds and 
        number of treasury shares assumed purchased were determined on 
        the most likely exercise assumption.

   (b)  Pro forma earnings per share assuming full dilution are not presented
        separately since there would be no additional dilutive effect, or the
        effect would be anti-dilutive.
