Options to purchase 558,278 shares of common stock, with exercise prices ranging
from $5.88 to $11.75, were outstanding during the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1999, but were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share because the exercise prices of the options were greater than
the average market price for the common shares for the period.

NOTE 5 - ACQUISITION

Effective February 1, 1999, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding stock
of A/C Plus, Inc., ("A/C Plus") an air conditioning compressor remanufacturer
located in Arlington, Texas. A/C Plus had sales of approximately $2.9 million in
fiscal 1998. The transaction was structured with a purchase price of $2.25
million in cash paid at closing and a promissory note of $0.25 million payable
on the second anniversary of the closing. Concurrent with the purchase, the
Company repaid $0.5 million in working capital debt on behalf of A/C Plus. The
purchase price and working capital repayment were financed through the Company's
Revolving Credit Agreement. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
Goodwill of $2.1 million was recorded in connection with the transaction and is
being amortized over 20 years.

NOTE 6 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"),
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
hedging contracts. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 does not currently apply to the
Company and accordingly will not have a material impact on its results of
operations or financial position.

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

OPERATING RESULTS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

         Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased by 6.9% to
$70.1 million compared with $65.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998. Sales in the Aftermarket Heating and Cooling Systems segment increased by
$2.8 million, or 6.5%, from the comparable 1998 period, reflecting the sales
contribution from Evap, Inc.("Evap"), acquired effective August 1, 1998 and A/C
Plus, acquired effective February 1, 1999. Sales in the OEM Heat Transfer
Systems segment increased by $0.3 million, or 3.7%, compared with the same 1998
quarter, due to an increase in volume resulting from the strong Class 8 truck
and specialty vehicle markets. Sales in the Specialty Metal Fabrication segment
increased by $1.4 million, or 10.3%, compared with the same 1998 quarter, due to
an increase in sales of specialty fabricated enclosures for telecommunications
customers. Vehicle conversion revenues were flat.

         Gross margin of 25.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1999
increased from the 23.8% achieved for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The
improvement was driven by gross margin improvements in the Aftermarket Heating
and Cooling Systems segment reflecting the contribution of the newly acquired
air conditioning parts companies as well as lower material costs and improved
manufacturing efficiencies and, in the OEM Heat Transfer Systems segment, as a
result of actions the Company has taken to improve operational efficiencies.
Gross margins in the Specialty Metal Fabrication segment declined as the
capacity of the new Dallas metal fabrication facility was not fully utilized.

         During the second quarter, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased by $0.5 million, or 3.9%, primarily as a result of the inclusion of
expenses associated with the Evap and A/C Plus operations, but declined as a
percentage of sales from 18.8% to 18.2%. In 1998, the Company recognized a one
time benefit of $0.6 million for a dividend from the Ohio state workers'
compensation fund, which was partially offset by the recognition of a $0.5
million reserve against the balance of a note accepted in a 1994 asset sale
transaction.

         Plant closure costs of approximately $0.3 million were recognized in
the second quarter of 1999 relating to the closure of the Company's
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Atlanta, Georgia replacement automotive condenser
manufacturing plants and the move of that condenser manufacturing to the
Company's Los Angeles, California facility. The costs primarily reflect
severance and other personnel termination costs associated with these closures.

         Net interest expense increased $0.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 compared with the three months ended June 30, 1998 due to higher
debt levels associated with the acquisition of Evap and A/C Plus and higher
seasonal working capital requirements.

         During the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company recognized a
non-recurring, non-cash deferred tax benefit of $2.9 million related to the
change in the organizational structure of its GO/DAN Industries operation from a
partnership to a corporation. The Company's effective tax rate of 42.5% for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, which does not include the impact of the
non-recurring, non-cash deferred tax benefit, is comprised of the U. S. Federal
income tax rate plus the estimated aggregate effective rate for state and local
income taxes and increased from the three months ended June 30, 1998 rate of
40.8% to reflect a higher level of non-tax deductible expenses expected in 1999.


                                       9

<PAGE>   10

         Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $5.1 million,
or $0.78 per basic common share and $0.72 per diluted common share, compared
with net income of $1.4 million, or $0.22 per basic and diluted common share for
the three months ended June 30, 1998. Excluding the effect of plant closure
costs and the non-recurring, non-cash deferred tax benefit, earnings for the
second quarter of 1999 were $2.4 million, or $0.37 per basic common share and
$0.35 per diluted common share.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

         Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased 9.7% to
$127.4 million compared with $116.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998. Sales in the Aftermarket Heating and Cooling Systems segment increased by
$10.4 million, or 14.5%, from the comparable 1998 period, reflecting the sales
contribution from Evap and A/C Plus and volume increases in the radiator and
heater product lines. Sales in the OEM Heat Transfer Systems segment declined by
$0.9 million, or 4.3%, compared with the same 1998 period, reflecting the higher
level of sales in the first quarter of 1998 related to the catch up of overdue
orders from 1997. Sales in the Specialty Metal Fabrication Business increased by
$1.7 million, or 6.9%, over the comparable 1998 period, due to an increase in
sales of specialty fabricated enclosures for telecommunications customers
coupled with an increase in vehicle conversion revenues.

         Gross margin of 25.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased
from the 23.4% achieved for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The improvement
reflects the contribution of Evap and A/C Plus coupled with higher volume, lower
material costs and improved manufacturing efficiencies in the Aftermarket
Heating and Cooling Systems segment. Gross margins in the Specialty Metal
Fabrication segment declined as the capacity of the new Dallas metal fabrication
facility was not fully utilized. Actions the Company has taken to improve
operational efficiencies in the OEM Heat Transfer Systems segment generated
positive gross margins for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared with
negative margins in the prior year period.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.0 million,
or 8.5%, primarily as a result of the inclusion of expenses associated with Evap
and A/C Plus, but were essentially flat as a percentage of sales. In 1998, the
Company recognized a one time benefit of $0.6 million for a dividend from the
Ohio state workers' compensation fund, which was partially offset by the
recognition of a $0.5 million reserve against the balance of a note accepted in
a 1994 asset sale transaction.

         Plant closure costs of approximately $0.3 million were recognized in
the first six months of 1999 related to the closure of the Company's
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Atlanta, Georgia replacement automotive condenser
manufacturing plants.

         Net interest expense increased $0.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 compared with the second quarter of 1998 due to higher debt levels
associated with the acquisition of Evap and A/C Plus and higher seasonal working
capital requirements.

         During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company recognized a
non-recurring, non-cash deferred tax benefit of $2.9 million related to the
change in the organizational structure of its GO/DAN Industries operation from a
partnership to a corporation. The Company's effective tax rate of 42.5% for the
six months ended June 30, 1999, which does not include the impact of the
non-recurring non-cash deferred tax benefit, is comprised of the U. S. Federal
income tax rate plus the estimated aggregate effective rate for state and local
income taxes and increased from the six months ended June 30, 1998 rate of 40.8%
to reflect a higher level of non-tax deductible expenses expected in 1999.

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

         Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $5.6 million, or
$0.86 per basic common share and $0.79 per diluted common share, compared with
net income of $1.3 million, or $0.20 per basic and diluted common share, in the
comparable period of 1998. Excluding the effect of plant closure costs and the
non-recurring, non-cash deferred tax benefit, earnings for the first six months
of 1999 were $2.9 million, or $0.45 per basic common share and $0.42 per diluted
common share.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         In July 1998, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement
(the "Revolving Credit Agreement") with five banking institutions which provides
for secured borrowings or the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $75 million. The Revolving Credit Agreement is secured by a
blanket first perfected security interest in substantially all of the Company's
assets plus a pledge of the stock of the Company's subsidiaries. The Revolving
Credit Agreement expires on July 1, 2003. The security interest in the Company's
assets and the pledge of the Company's subsidiaries' stock are eligible for
release if the Company achieves certain senior debt ratings or if certain
financial ratios are met and maintained. At June 30, 1999, the Company did not
meet the financial ratios required for release of the security interest.

         Available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are
determined by a borrowing base consisting of the Company's eligible (i) accounts
receivable, (ii) inventory and (iii) fixed assets, as adjusted by an advance
rate. The aggregate amount of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement is
automatically reduced by $0.5 million at the end of each calendar quarter
through June 30, 1999; by $1.25 million at the end of each calendar quarter
through June 30, 2000; and by $1.5 million at the end of each calendar quarter
through June 30, 2003. The Revolving Credit Agreement bears interest at variable
rates based, at the Company's option on either (a) a Eurodollar loan rate plus
an applicable margin based upon the ratio of the Company's total funded debt to
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), or
(b) the higher of (i) the BankBoston, N.A. base lending rate and (ii) one-half
of one percent above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, as defined, plus an
applicable margin based upon the ratio of the Company's total funded debt to
EBITDA. A commitment fee of .25% or .375% based upon the ratio of the Company's
total funded debt to EBITDA on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving
Credit Agreement is payable quarterly, in arrears.

     The Revolving Credit Agreement contains financial covenants which, among
other things, require maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth and debt
service coverage and a maximum level of debt to EBITDA and debt to net worth, as
well as covenants which place limits on dividend payments in excess of $2.0
million per year and capital expenditures in excess of 140% of such year's
depreciation expense.

         At June 30, 1999, borrowings were approximately $45.6 million under the
Company's Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company also has $13 million of
borrowings under floating rate industrial revenue bonds, of which $8.0 million
matures in the year 2010 and $5.0 million matures in the year 2013. The bonds
bear interest based upon a short-term tax-exempt bond index. Outstanding letters
of credit totaled approximately $17.6 million at June 30, 1999. Of the total
letters of credit outstanding, $13.4 million supported borrowings under floating
rate industrial revenue bonds.


                                       11


<PAGE>   12

         During the first six months of 1999, the Company required $7.1 million
of cash to support its operations as a result of a $13.1 million inventory build
up primarily in anticipation of the third quarter peak selling season for
Aftermarket Heating and Cooling Systems and a $9.3 million increase in accounts
receivable which reflects the higher sales during the three months ended June
30, 1999. An increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses provided $7.9
million of cash and net income plus total adjustments to reconcile net income to
net cash used in operating activities provided $6.8 million of cash.

         Capital spending during the first six months of 1999 totaled $4.0
million and the acquisition of A/C Plus, including transaction costs, required
$2.4 million of cash. The Company paid two cash dividends of $0.05 per share
totaling $0.7 million during the first six months of 1999. Net borrowings under
the Revolving Credit Agreement to finance the operating and other cash
requirements of the Company increased by $15.9 million from December 31, 1998.

         The future liquidity and ordinary capital needs of the Company in the
near term are expected to be met from operations. The Company's working capital
requirements peak during the second and third quarters, reflecting the normal
seasonality of the heat transfer aftermarket. The Company believes that the
Revolving Credit Agreement, along with cash flow from operations, will be
adequate to meet near term anticipated ordinary capital expenditure and working
capital requirements as well as seasonal working capital requirements. However,
the capital for major growth initiatives may exceed the aggregate amount of
borrowings available under the Revolving Credit Agreement. If this were to
occur, the Company would have to seek additional sources of capital. However, no
assurance can be given that the Company would be successful in securing
additional sources of capital.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

         The Year 2000 issue results from computer system software using only
two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year for a
transaction. Such software may not recognize a date identified as "00" or may
assume the year 1900 instead of 2000. In the worst case, this may result in
system failure or miscalculation causing disruption of operations, including but
not limited to, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices,
generate disbursement checks or engage in similar normal business activities.

         The Company's Year 2000 initiative consists of: (i) performing an
inventory of all computer, facility and manufacturing equipment and external
business partners which may be Year 2000 sensitive; (ii) assessing that
inventory for Year 2000 compliance; (iii) developing a plan to remediate or
replace non Year 2000 compliant inventory items; and (iv) the implementation of
that plan, including remediation, replacement, testing and contingency
arrangements, as necessary.

         The Company has identified an information systems platform which is
Year 2000 compliant and to which the majority of current systems employed by the
Company will be converted. The conversion project began in 1996 and is expected
to be completed during the third quarter of 1999. Hardware, software and other
capitalizable costs will be capitalized and expensed over the useful life of the
systems. All other project costs will be expensed as incurred. The total cost of
the Year 2000 project is currently estimated to be $2.5 million, of which $1.8
million is for capitalizable hardware and software costs. To date, the Company
has spent approximately $2.2 million on this project, of which $1.7 million was
for capitalizable hardware and software costs.

         During 1998, the Company initiated formal communications with its
information technology hardware and software providers, all of its significant
vendors, service providers, lenders and large customers to determine the extent
to which it is vulnerable to the Year 2000 issue externally. The Company
believes that with the completion of its Year 2000 initiatives, as scheduled,
the possibility of


                                       12
<PAGE>   13
significant interruptions of normal operations should be significantly reduced.
However, no assurance can be given that the systems of other companies on which
the Company relies will be Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis, that the Year
2000 systems of other companies will be compatible with the Company's system or
that external Year 2000 issues would not have a material impact on the Company's
operations. Contingency plans are being developed as necessary, to mitigate the
impact of non year 2000 compliant external issues which, in the worst case, may
result in source of supply issues with suppliers or the inability of customers
to order product.
