AMENDMENT:

      The  purpose of this amendment is to revise the financial information
(as  suggested  by  the  Staff of the Securities and  Exchange  Commission)
required  under Item 7. "Financial Statements and Exhibits" as a result  of
the Company's acquisition of Edwards & Lock Management Corp., dba Special-T
Fasteners, a California corporation ("Special-T") from the shareholders  of
Special-T  pursuant  to  an Agreement and Plan of  Merger  (the  "Special-T
Acquisition") dated as of January 28, 1998 as amended on February 20, 1998,
and March 2, 1998.

ITEM 7.     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

(a)  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESS AQUIRED

     The audited financial statements of Special-T are being filed as an
exhibit to this Form 8-K and are herein incorporated by reference.


(b)  PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

      On  March 2, 1998, the Company consummated the Special-T Acquisition.
The  Special-T  Acquisition  purchase price,  subject  to  adjustment,  was
$46,500 of which $23,500 was paid in shares of Class A Common Stock of  the
Company and the remainder was paid in cash.

      The  unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of earnings  for  the
year  ended  June 30, 1997 and for the six months ended December  28,  1997
have  been prepared to give effect to the Special-T Acquisition as  if  the
Special-T  Acquisition  occurred  on  July  1,  1996  and  July  1,   1997,
respectively.  The  unaudited pro forma consolidated balance  sheet  as  of
December  28,  1997  has  been prepared to give  effect  to  the  Special-T
Acquisition as if it had occurred on such date.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not
necessarily indicative of the results that would have been obtained had the
Special-T Acquisition been completed as of the dates presented or for any
future period. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K/A dated
June 30, 1997 and Form 10-Q dated December 28, 1997.
