NOTE 1.  Earnings Per Share:

         Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common
         shares and common stock equivalents (stock options) outstanding during
         each period.  In computing earnings per share, common stock
         equivalents were either anti-dilutive because of the market value of
         the stock or not material, and, therefore, have been excluded from the
         calculation.


NOTE 2.  Inventories:

         Inventories are summarized as follows:

NOTE 3.  Discontinued Operations:

         In March 1994, the Company completed the sale of its Federal
         Laboratories division.  Pursuant to such sale, in June 1994 the
         Company recorded an after-tax disposal gain of $76 thousand.  This
         gain was partially offset by $33 thousand of after- tax disposal costs
         related to other previously discontinued businesses.  The gain and
         losses consisted primarily of disposal costs different from previous
         estimates associated primarily with legal matters.

         The three-month period ended June 27, 1993 has been restated to
         reflect Federal Laboratories as a discontinued operation.

         Federal Laboratories' operating results for the period ended June 27,
         1993 were as follows:

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

All references to three-month periods in this Management's Discussion refer to
the three-month period ended June 26, 1994 for fiscal year 1995 and the
three-month period ended June 27, 1993 for fiscal year 1994.  Also when
referred to herein, operating profit means net sales less operating expenses,
without deduction for general corporate expenses, interest and income taxes.
The Consolidated Statement of Operations has been restated with respect to
discontinued operations to provide a consistent basis for comparing the
performance of the Company's continuing operations for the periods presented.

Revenue from continuing operations for the three-month period in 1995 was $29.3
million, a $5.3 million or 22% increase from the $24 million reported in the
comparable period in 1994.  Gross profit was $7.3 million for the three-month
period in 1995, unchanged from the comparable period in 1994.  Operating profit
from continuing operations for the three-month period in 1995 was $2.7 million,
a decrease of $1.0 million or 27% from the comparable period in 1994.  Changes
in sales, operating profit and new orders from continuing operations are
discussed below by segment.

Net income, including discontinued operations, for the three-month period in
1995 was $1.1 million or $0.21 per share, compared to $1.5 million or $0.30 per
share for the comparable period of 1994.  As further discussed below, the
decreased earnings performance in 1995 resulted primarily from reduced chaff
and related product sales, lower sales and margins in hoists, winches and
related spare parts, lower margins on cargo hook sales, losses attendant to the
start-up of Electrical Connections and Assemblies, Inc.'s business and
shipments of low margin contracts by the newly acquired electrical harness
product line.  These earnings decreases were partially offset by the inclusion
of the Palnut Fastener business and the recording of pre-tax income of $0.6
million from a favorable insurance settlement.

Interest expense increased $0.4 million for the three-month period in 1995,
from $0.2 million in the comparable 1994 period, primarily as a result of
increased bank borrowings used for the acquisition of the Palnut Fastener
business and the Electrical Specialties harness business in the second quarter
of the 1994 fiscal year.

New orders received during the 1995 period totaled $34 million, an increase of
$2.2 million or 7% from 1994's comparable period. At June 26, 1994, total
backlog of unfilled orders was $47.8 million compared to $48.6 million at June
27, 1993.


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In March 1994, the Company completed the sale of its Federal Laboratories
division.  Pursuant to such sale, in June 1994 the Company recorded an
after-tax disposal gain of $76 thousand.  This gain was partially offset by $33
thousand of after-tax disposal costs related to other previously discontinued
businesses.  The gain and losses consisted primarily of disposal costs
different from previous estimates associated primarily with legal matters.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS SEGMENT

Sales for the industrial products segment were $18.6 million for the
three-month period in 1995, an increase of $9.1 million, or 95% from the same
period in 1994.  Sales of specialty fasteners and electrical harnesses were up
$8.3 million or 114% and $1.5 million or 100%, respectively, from the
comparable period in 1994.  The increase in specialty fastener sales was
primarily due to the inclusion of operations of the Palnut fastener business in
the 1995 period, new product market penetration and increased industrial and
truck fastener demand, while the increase in electrical wiring harness sales
was due to the inclusion of operations of the Electrical Specialties Company
product line in the 1995 period.  These increases were partially offset by a
$0.7 million or 32% decrease in TransTechnology Systems & Services sales in the
three-month period in 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994, which is
largely due to reduced domestic and foreign third party maintenance contract
sales.

Operating profit for the three-month period in 1995 was $2.5 million, an
increase of $0.7 million or 38% from the comparable period of 1994.  The
increase was primarily due to the increased sales volume of specialty fasteners
and electrical wiring harnesses partially offset by reduced TransTechnology
Systems & Services maintenance contract sales, losses attendant to the start-up
of Electrical Connections and Assemblies, Inc.'s business, and shipments of low
margin contracts from the newly acquired electrical harness product line.

New orders for the three-month period in 1995 increased $10.3 million or 97%
from the comparable period in 1994, primarily due to the inclusion of
operations of Palnut fastener products and the electrical wiring harness
product line, new product market penetration and increased industrial and truck
fastener demand.  These increases were partially offset by reduced
TransTechnology Systems & Services maintenance contract orders.

Backlog of unfilled orders at June 26, 1994, was $16.8 million compared to $7.8
million at June 27, 1993.

AEROSPACE PRODUCTS SEGMENT

Sales of the Aerospace Products segment were $10.5 million for the three-month
period in 1995, down $3.8 million or 27% from the comparable period in 1994.
Sales of hoists and winches and related spare parts, chaff product, and
electrical cables, conduit and connectors decreased from the 1994 period to the
1995 period by $1.9 million or 29%, $1.0 million or 41% and $0.8 million or
25%, respectively, primarily due to delays in the timing of customers placing
new orders in the 1995 period.  Additionally, sales of hoists and winches and
related spare parts in the 1995 period were negatively impacted by pricing
constraints.  Tie-down sales were down $0.2 million or 47% in the 1995 period,
as compared to the 1994 period, mainly due to increased competition.  Cargo
hook sales were relatively unchanged in the 1995 period, compared to the 1994
period.    

Operating profit for the three-month period in 1995 was $0.2 million, a
decrease of $1.7 million or 89% from the comparable period in 1994.  The
primary factors contributing to the decrease in the segment's operating profit
were the reduced sales volume of hoists and winches and related spare parts,
chaff product, electrical cables, conduit and connectors and tie-downs
accompanied by reduced margins and increased price erosion in hoists and
winches and related spare parts, cargo hooks and tie-downs.
                                                           




                                       10
<PAGE>   12
New orders decreased for the three-month period in 1995 by $8.1 million or 38%
from the comparable period in 1994.  Decreases period to period were
experienced by all aerospace product lines with the exception of cargo hooks
and electrical conduit which were up $0.1 million or 9% and $0.3 million or
41%, respectively, primarily due to customer timing and placement of new
orders.  The decreases in all other aerospace product lines reflect a
combination of customer timing and placement of new orders coupled with a
general slowdown in the military and aerospace industries.  Backlog of unfilled
orders at June 26, 1994 was $31.1 million compared to $40.8 million at June 27,
1993.

Sales related to United States government contracts, which consist primarily of
defense contracts and represented approximately 20% of the Company's total
sales in fiscal year 1994, have been declining in recent years.  Management
remains concerned with the continued trend toward reductions in defense
spending by the United States government.  However, many of the Company's
programs, as well as spare parts requirements for these programs, are expected
to continue for several years, and the Company continues to pursue and is
currently implementing its strategy of developing its non-defense businesses
through acquisitions and refocused foreign and commercial market attention.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 34% as of June 26, 1994,
unchanged from March 31, 1994.  The current ratio at June 26, 1994, stood at
3.81 compared to 3.49 at March 31, 1994.  Working Capital was $53.3 million at
June 26, 1994, down $0.5 million from March 31, 1994.

At June 26, 1994, the Company's debt consisted of $25 million of borrowings
under a revolving bank credit line, a $9.2 million bank term loan and $0.5
million of other borrowings.  The revolving bank credit line lending commitment
is $35 million.  This commitment will be available to the Company through
September 30, 1995, and is subject to a borrowing base formula.  The agreement
provides for borrowings and letters of credit based on collateralized accounts
receivable and inventory.  All fixed assets other than real property with the
exception of certain real property located in Mountainside, New Jersey, are
also included as collateral.  Letters of credit, which are included in the
borrowing base formula, are limited to $5 million.  Letters of credit under the
line at June 26, 1994 were $1.6 million.  Interest is accrued at the lending
bank's prime rate or, at the Company's option, the London  Interbank Offered
Rate (LIBOR) plus two percentage points, which the Company utilized for $25
million of its outstanding debt.  The agreement contains customary operating
and financial covenants typical to this form of financing and further provides
that quarterly dividend payments cannot exceed 25% of the Company's cumulative
net income in each year.  The $9.2 million term loan is with the same lenders
as the revolving credit line, is secured by the same collateral, and is due and
payable on August 31, 1998.  Principal payments of $360 thousand are due and
payable on the last day of each quarter through June 30, 1998, with a final
balloon payment of $3 million due and payable on August 31, 1998.  Interest
accrues at the lending bank's prime rate and is payable monthly.





                                       11
<PAGE>   13
On May 13, 1994, the Company obtained authorization from its lender to
repurchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an aggregate
price not to exceed $2.5 million.  Through August 2, 1994, the Company had
repurchased 80,000 shares.

Management believes that the Company's anticipated cash flow from operations,
combined with the bank credit described above, will be sufficient to support
current and forecasted working capital requirements and dividend payments.
Capital expenditures in the three-month period in 1995 were $1.4 million as
compared with $1.0 million in the comparable period in 1994.  The Company's two
segments have similar cash flow requirements.

funds under the Revolving Loan in accordance with the provisions of the Loan
Agreement, as amended.

         H.      In consideration for Bank agreeing to loan and re-loan funds
to ECA, Inc. under the Revolving Loan in accordance with the provisions of the
Loan Agreement, as amended, ECA, Inc. desires to (1) assume as co-obligor all
obligations and liabilities of Borrowers due and owing to Bank now or hereafter
arising under the Loan Agreement, as amended, and (2) grant to Bank a security
interest in and to its Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this
Fourth Amendment.

         I.      Borrowers and Bank now desire to amend the Loan Agreement, as
amended, to (1) add ECA, Inc. as a co-obligor for the repayment of all loans to
Borrowers by Bank and (2) provide for such other amendments and modifications
as are set forth in the provisions of this Fourth Amendment.

         J.      Due to the affiliation and financial interdependence of
Borrowers, Bank and Borrowers have determined that it would be in their
respective best interests for each Borrower to be a joint and several obligor
of each other Borrower's obligations to Bank in accordance with the provisions
set forth in the Loan Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second
Amendment, the Letter Agreement, the Third Amendment, and this Fourth Amendment.
