         Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

         The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all
         adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are,
         in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of
         financial position and results of operations.  The results for the six
         months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
         results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about
         Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, is effective for
         years beginning after December 15, 1997.  This statement requires that
         a public business report financial and descriptive information about
         its reportable business segments.

         The Company believes that the future adoption of these statements will
         not have a significant impact on the results of operations of
         financial position but will have disclosure requirement.

3.       CAMDEN ACQUISITION

         On February 12,1997, the Company completed the Camden Acquisition. The
         total consideration of $65,000 paid in connection with the Camden
         Acquisition, including fees and expenses, consisted of (i) cash and
         (ii) the assumption of debt related to Industrial Revenue Bonds. The
         cash portion of the consideration paid and the transaction fees and
         expenses incurred in connection with the Camden Acquisition were
         funded with $65,000 of senior debt under the Amended and Restated
         Credit Agreement.

         The Camden Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
         accounting whereby the total acquisition cost has been preliminarily
         allocated to the consolidated assets and liabilities based upon their
         estimated respective fair values. The purchase price allocations are
         still in process. It is not expected that the final allocation of the
         purchase cost will result in a materially different allocation than is
         presented herein. The total acquisition cost is preliminarily
         allocated to the acquired net assets as follows:

         option of Group, at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Alternate Base
         Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus .5 % or (b) the
         Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus
         1.5%. Borrowings under the Term B Loan bear interest, at the option of
         Group, at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Alternate Base Rate (as
         defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus 1.0% or (b) the
         Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus
         2.0%. The Alternate Base Rate and Eurodollar Rate margins are
         established quarterly based on a formula as defined in the Amended and
         Restated Credit Agreement. Interest payment dates vary depending on
         the interest rate option to which the Term Facility and the Revolver
         are tied, but generally interest is payable quarterly. The Amended and
         Restated Credit Agreement contains several financial covenants which,
         among other things, require Group to maintain certain financial ratios
         and restrict Group's ability to incur indebtedness, make capital
         expenditures and pay dividends.

         Senior Subordinated Notes

         The Senior Subordinated Notes issued in connection with the
         Acquisitions and the Series B Senior Subordinated Notes issued in
         connection with refinancing of the Term Facility (collectively called
         the "Senior Notes") were issued under similar indentures (the
         "Indentures") dated June 12, 1995 and June 17, 1997 respectively. The
         Senior Notes represent unsecured general obligations of Group and are
         subordinated to all Senior Debt (as defined in the Indenture) of
         Group.

         The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally (as well as jointly and
         severally) guaranteed on an unsecured, senior subordinated basis by
         each subsidiary of the Company (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") other
         than Electro Componentes de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. and Wirekraft
         Industries de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries").
         Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries is
         wholly owned by the Company.

         Exchange Notes

         In February 1997, the Company exchanged $10,000 of Series A Senior
         Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
         Stock") for 14.0% Senior Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2005 (the
         "Exchange Notes") and paid all dividends in arrears related to the
         Preferred Stock.  The Exchange Notes were issued under an indenture
         dated February 12, 1997 (the "Exchange Indenture").  The Exchange
         Notes represent unsecured general obligations of Group, are
         subordinated to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Exchange
         Indenture) of Group and rank on equal terms with the Senior Notes.

         In June 1997, the Company offered to repurchase its Exchange Notes for
         a cash price of 113% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest.
         As a result of this offer, the Company acquired $5,000 principal
         amount of these notes.

         The Exchange Notes are fully and unconditionally (as well as jointly
         and severally) guaranteed on an unsecured, senior subordinated basis
         by each Guarantor Subsidiary other than the NonGuarantor Subsidiaries.
         Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries is
         wholly owned by the Company.

         The Exchange Notes mature on June 1, 2005. Interest on the Exchange
         Notes is payable semiannually on each June 1 and December 1. The
         Exchange Notes bear interest at the rate of 14.0% per annum. The
         Exchange Notes may not be redeemed prior to June 1, 2000, except mi
         the event of a Change of Control (as defined) and at such applicable
         premium (as defined). The Exchange Notes are redeemable, at the
         Company's option, at the redemption prices of 105.875% at June 1,
         2000, and at decreasing prices to 100% at June 1, 2003, and
         thereafter, with accrued interest.

         Industrial Revenue Bonds

         In connection with the Camden Acquisition the Company assumed debt
         related to two Industrial Revenue Bonds (the "IRB's") totaling
         $15,500. The IRB's are due in August, 2005 and March, 2016 in the
         amounts of $9,000 and $6,500 respectively. The IRB's bear interest at
         a rate per annum which is tied to the Tax Exempt Money Market Index.
         Rates change weekly and interest is paid monthly.

6.       PLANT CLOSING EXPENSE

         In March, 1997, the Company recorded a pretax charge to operations of
         $500 to provide for plant closing costs.  The plant closing costs
         relate to consolidating a wire segment facility and include provisions
         for certain shut-down and severance related costs. A summary of
         activity related to plant closing is as follows:

7.       INCOME TAXES

         Wirekraft's U.S. income tax returns for the years 1993-1995 are being
         reviewed by the Internal Revenue Service.  The proposed settlement is
         being reviewed by the Joint Tax Committee. The Company believes that
         final settlement will not have a material adverse effect and that
         adequate amounts of taxes and related interest, if any, have been
         provided.

8.       EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS-LOSS RELATED TO EARLY RETIREMENT OF DEBT

         In June 1997, the Company refinanced debt under the Credit Agreement.
         Accordingly, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $2,601, net
         of income tax related to the write-off of deferred financing fees. In
         addition, the Company repurchased $5,000 of the Exchange Notes.  An
         extraordinary loss of $390, net of income tax, was recognized related
         to a prepayment premium.

9.       GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES

         The Senior Notes and Exchange Notes are fully and unconditionally (as  
         well as jointly and severally) guaranteed on an unsecured, senior
         subordinated basis by each subsidiary of the Company (the "Guarantor
         Subsidiaries") other than Electro Componentes de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.
         and Wirekraft Industries de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (the "Non-Guarantor
         Subsidiaries"). Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor
         Subsidiaries is wholly owned by the Company.
 
         The following condensed, consolidating financial statements of the
         Company include the accounts of the Company, the combined accounts of
         the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the combined accounts of the
         Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Given the size of the Non-Guarantor
         Subsidiaries relative to the Company on a consolidated basis, separate
         financial statements of the respective Guarantor Subsidiaries are not
         presented because management has determined that such information is
         not material in assessing the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
