               Management's Analysis of Quarterly Financial Data



Sale of Product Lines:

During the first quarter of 1996, the company sold two product lines in the
Aerospace Segment for $37.5 million ($32 million in cash and $5.5 million in
notes receivable) resulting in a $2 million pre-tax gain or, $.07 per share.
The gain has been reported as a reduction in operating expenses in the
Statement of Income and is included in the Aerospace Segment operating profit.
The product lines had combined sales and operating profit in the first quarter
of 1995 of $13 million and $1 million, respectively.

Results of Operations:

Revenues increased 3% in the first quarter of 1996 to $234.4 million from
$226.9 million in 1995.  The increase resulted from gains in the Medical and
Commercial segments which offset a decline in the Aerospace Segment.  The
increase was the result of internal growth in the company's core businesses and
1995 acquisitions primarily in the Commercial Segment, offset partially by the
decline from the sale of two Aerospace product lines in the first quarter of
1996. The increase in sales excluding the 1995 results of the product lines
sold was nearly 10%.  Foreign currency exchange rates had a negligible impact
on the overall revenue growth of the company. The Commercial, Medical and
Aerospace segments comprised 48%, 32% and 20% of the company's net sales,
respectively.

Gross profit margin declined to 31.3% in 1996 compared with 31.6% in 1995.  An
increase in the gross profit margin in the Aerospace Segment was offset by
declines in the Medical and Commercial segments.  Excluding the gain, operating
expenses as a percentage of sales declined slightly from 21.2% in 1995 to 20.7%
in 1996 as all three segments improved.

Operating profit increased 12% in the first quarter of 1996 from $26.6 million
to $29.7 million and operating margin increased from 11.7% of sales to 12.7%.
Operating profit and operating margin increases in the Aerospace and Medical
segments offset a decline in the Commercial Segment.  Excluding the gain,
overall operating profit increased 4% and operating margin increased
fractionally.

Industry Segment Review:

Sales in the Commercial Segment increased 4% from $107.3 million in 1995 to
$111.5 million in 1996.  Increases in the Automotive product line, primarily
from a 1995 acquisition, and the
<PAGE>   7
Industrial product line offset a decline in the Marine product line.  Operating
profit declined 12% from $17.2 million to $15.2 million and operating margin
declined from 16.1% to 13.6%.  Operating profit and operating margin declined
in all product lines with the exception of the Industrial product line which
reported a slight increase in operating profit.

The Medical Segment sales increased 11% from $68.3 million to $75.8 million in
the first quarter of 1996 compared with 1995.  The majority of the increase was
the result of improved sales of hospital supply products in European and Asian
markets.  Operating profit increased 12% from $7.6 million in 1995 to $8.6
million in 1996 and operating margin improved slightly from 11.2% to 11.3%.
The increases were the result of improvements in the hospital supply product
line.

The Aerospace Segment sales declined 8% from $51.3 million in 1995 to $47.2
million in 1996.  The decline resulted from the sale of two product lines in
the first quarter of 1996 which had combined revenues and operating profit of
approximately $13 million and $1 million, respectively, in the first quarter of
1995.  Excluding the dispositions, sales increased nearly 20% from growth in
core Aerospace product lines, primarily the Sermatech coatings, repairs and
blade manufacturing businesses.  Operating profit increased 248% from $1.7
million in 1995 to $6.0 million in 1996 and operating margin increased from
3.4% to 12.8% of sales.  Excluding the $2 million gain in 1996, and the results
of product lines sold, operating profit increased over 400% and operating
margin increased from 1.9% in 1995 to 8.4% in 1996.  The gains were primarily
the result of the higher volume in the Sermatech product lines.

Cash flow from operations increased $5.3 million in the first quarter of 1996
compared with 1995.  The gain was primarily the result of improvements in
inventory levels which declined in 1996 compared with the increase in 1995.
The increase in the cash balance resulted from the $32 million cash proceeds
from the sale of two Aerospace product lines.  Working capital increased from
$252.7 million at December 31, 1995, to $276.3 million at March 31, 1996.  The
ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.4 to 1 at March 31, 1996
compared with 2.3 to 1 at December 31, 1995.  Long-term borrowings decreased by
$4.5 million from $196.8 million at December 31, 1995, to $192.3 million at
March 31, 1996.  The decline was due equally to the effects of lower foreign
currency translation rates and repayments on long-term borrowings.  The
combination of the decline in long-term borrowings and the increase in
shareholders' equity resulted in an improvement in the ratio of long- term
borrowings to total capitalization from 36% at December 31, 1995 to 34% at
March 31, 1996.
