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:

         Credit Agreement

         Related to the Company's acquisition of the Seeger Group, on June 30,
         1995 the Company refinanced all of its bank debt, so that on July 2,
         1995 it consisted of $24.2 million of borrowings under a revolving
         credit line, $3.6 million of borrowings under international lines of
         credit, a $35 million term loan and a $25 million term loan. The
         revolving bank credit line commitment is $34 million, which includes $5
         million available for letters of credit. This commitment will be
         available to the Company through December 31, 2000 and is subject to a
         borrowing base formula. The agreement provides for borrowings and
         letters of credit based on collateralized accounts receivable and
         inventory. In addition, all of the remaining assets of the Company and
         its subsidiaries are included as collateral. Letters of credit under
         the line at July 2, 1995 were $1.1 million. The total commitment from
         the international lines of credit are $6 million and have the same
         availability and collateral as the revolving credit line, but are not
         subject to a borrowing base formula. Interest on the revolver and the
         international lines of credit are tied to the primary lending bank's
         prime rate, or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), with a
         margin, depending upon the Company's achievement of certain operating
         and financial goals.

         The $35 million and $25 million term loans are with the same lenders as
         the revolving and international lines of credit, are secured by the
         same collateral, and are due and payable on December 31, 2000 and June
         30, 2002, respectively. The $35 million term loan provides that an
         additional $15 million will be available for future acquisitions.
         Principal payments on the $35 million term loan of $1.4 million, with
         escalations to $1.8 million and $2.8 million in June, 1999 and June,
         2000, respectively, begin on December 31, 1995, and are due and payable
         on the last day of each quarter through December 31, 2000. Interest on
         the $35 million term loan is tied to the primary lending bank's prime
         rate, or LIBOR, with a margin, depending upon the Company's achievement
         of certain operating and financial goals. Principal payments on the $25
         million term loan of $0.5 million are due and payable annually,
         beginning on June 30, 1996 through June 30, 2000, with final balloon
         payments of $7.5 million and $15 million due and payable on June 30,
         2001 and June 30, 2002, respectively. Interest on the $25 million term
         loan accrues at the primary lending bank's prime rate plus two
         percentage points. The agreement also gives the Company the option of
         using LIBOR plus three and one-quarter percentage points. At July 2,
         1995, the Company had no borrowings utilizing LIBOR.

         The credit facility limits the Company's ability to pay dividends to
         25% of net income and restricts capital expenditures to $6.5 million
         for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1996, and $7 million thereafter
         for the life of the agreement, as well as containing other customary
         financial covenants.

         Other

         Other long-term debt is comprised principally of an obligation due
         under a collateralized borrowing arrangement with a fixed interest rate
         of 3% due December 2004 and loans on life insurance policies owned by
         the Company with a fixed interest rate of 5%.

NOTE 4.  Discontinued Operations

         In March 1995, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and
         business of its chaff products operation. The sale of this operation
         resulted in an after-tax disposal loss of $0.4 million. In May 1995,
         the Company sold its chaff avionics product line for $0.3 million in
         cash and a $0.7 million note receivable. This sale resulted in an
         after-tax disposal gain of $0.4 million. The Company has retained one
         product line from the former chaff products operations, and is
         negotiating its sale separately.

         Also, in March 1995, the Company discontinued and is currently
         negotiating the sale of its Electronics division, which includes
         Electronic Connections and Assemblies, Inc., and its foreign portions
         of the computer graphics service operations which operate under the
         name TransTechnology Systems & Services. The domestic portion of the
         computer graphics service operations was sold for book value in June
         1995, the consideration was $0.7 million in cash and a $0.6 million
         note receivable.

         In June 1995, the Company recorded an additional $0.3 million of
         after-tax disposal costs related to other previously discontinued
         businesses. These losses consisted primarily of disposal costs
         different from previous estimates associated primarily with legal,
         environmental and employee related matters.

NOTE 5.  Acquisitions

         On June 30, 1995 the Company acquired the Seeger Group of companies
         from a unit of AB SKF of Gothenburg, Sweden for approximately $43
         million plus the assumption of trade debts and accrued expenses. The
         allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets and
         liabilities acquired has not been completed, pending completion of
         asset valuations and appraisals, therefore the difference between the
         purchase price and the actual book value of the assets and liabilities
         purchased has been classified in "costs in excess of net assets of
         acquired businesses" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as
         of July 2, 1995. The Seeger Group, headquartered in Konigstein, Germany
         manufactures circlips, snap rings and retaining rings used primarily in
         the automotive, heavy equipment and industrial machinery markets. The
         Seeger Group operates under the trade names of "Seeger", "Anderton",
         and "Waldes" with over 900 employees at its five manufacturing
         facilities.

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 July 2, 1995 for fiscal year 1996 and the
three-month period ended June 26, 1994 for fiscal year 1995. 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 1996 was $26.4
million, a $4.0 million or 18% increase from the $22.4 million reported in the
comparable period in 1995. Gross profit was $8.5 million for the three-month
period in 1996, up 2.3 million or 38% from the comparable period in 1995.
Operating profit from continuing operations for the three-month period in 1996
was $5.1 million, an increase of $2.4 million or 85% from the comparable period
in 1995. 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
1996 was $1.6 million or $.31 per share, compared to $1.1 million or $.21 per
share for the comparable period of 1995. As further discussed below, the
increased earnings performance in 1996 resulted primarily from the inclusion of
Industrial Ring Company operations in the three-month 1996 period.

Interest expense increased $0.5 million for the three-month period in 1996, from
$0.4 million in the comparable 1995 period, primarily as a result of increased
bank borrowings used for the acquisition of the Industrial Retaining Ring
Company in the second quarter of the 1995 fiscal year.

New orders received during the three-month period in 1996 totaled $28.2 million,
an increase of $3.7 million or 15% from 1995's comparable period. At July 2,
1995, total backlog of unfilled orders was $32.6 million compared to $29.4
million at June 26, 1994.


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In March 1995, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and business of
its chaff products operation. The sale of this operation resulted in an
after-tax disposal loss of $0.4 million. In May 1995, the Company sold its chaff
avionics product line for $0.3 million in cash and a $0.7 million note
receivable. This sale resulted in an after-tax disposal gain of $0.4 million.
The Company has retained one product line from the former chaff products
operation, and is negotiating its sale separately.

Also, in March 1995, the Company discontinued and is currently negotiating the
sale of its Electronics division, which includes Electronic Connections and
Assemblies, Inc., and its computer graphics service operations which operate
under the name TransTechnology Systems & Services. The domestic portion of the
computer graphics service operations was sold for book value in June 1995, the
consideration was $0.7 million in cash and a $0.6 million note receivable.

In June 1996, the Company recorded an additional $0.3 million of after-tax
disposal costs related to other previously discontinued businesses. These losses
consisted primarily of disposal costs 


                                       12
<PAGE>   14

different from previous estimates associated primarily with legal, environmental
and employee related matters.


ACQUISITIONS

On June 30, 1995 the Company acquired the Seeger Group of companies from a unit
of AB SKF of Gothenburg, Sweden for approximately $43 million plus the
assumption of trade debts and accrued expenses. The Seeger Group, headquartered
in Konigstein, Germany manufactures circlips, snap rings and retaining rings
used primarily in the automotive, heavy equipment and industrial machinery
markets. The Seeger Group operates under the trade names of "Seeger",
"Anderton", and "Waldes" with over 900 employees at its five manufacturing
facilities. In calendar year 1994 the Seeger Group reported consolidated
revenues and operating income of approximately $73 million and $4.4 million,
respectively.

SPECIALTY FASTENER PRODUCTS SEGMENT

Sales for the specialty fastener products segment were $19.2 million for the
three-month period in 1996, an increase of $3.7 million, or 24% from the same
period in 1995. The increase in specialty fastener sales was primarily due to
the inclusion of operations of the Industrial Retaining Company for the 1996
three-month period, new product market penetration and increased industrial and
truck fastener demand offset by a slight decrease in domestic automotive
fastener demand.

Operating profit for the three-month period in 1996 was $4.5 million, an
increase of $1.7 million or 59% from the comparable period of 1995. The increase
was primarily due to the inclusion of operations of the Industrial Retaining
Ring Company for the 1996 three-month period, new product market penetration and
increased industrial and truck fastener demand offset by a slight decrease in
domestic automotive fastener sales volume, as mentioned above.

New orders for the three-month period in 1996 increased $1.4 million or 8% from
the comparable period in 1995, primarily due to the inclusion of operations of
the Industrial Retaining Ring Company for the 1996 three-month period, new
product market penetration and increased industrial and truck fastener demand.
These increases were offset by reduced automotive fastener demand during the
three-month period in 1996, primarily due to an overall slowdown in production
by domestic automotive manufacturers. Backlog of unfilled orders at July 2,
1996, was $8.8 million compared to $7.9 million at June 26, 1995.


RESCUE HOIST AND CARGO HOOK PRODUCTS SEGMENT

Sales of the rescue hoist and cargo hook products segment were $7 million for
the three-month period in 1996, up $0.4 million or 7% from the comparable period
in 1995. The increases were primarily due to the timing of customers placing new
orders.

Operating profit for the three-month period in 1996 was $0.6 million, an
increase of $0.7 million from the slight loss experienced in the comparable
period in 1995. The primary factors contributing to the increase in the
segment's operating profit in the 1996 three-month period were the increases in
the sales volume, mentioned above, product sales mix and sales price increases.

New orders increased for the three-month period in 1996 by $2.3 million or 35%
from the comparable period in 1995 primarily due to customer timing and
placement of new orders. Backlog of unfilled orders at July 2, 1995 was $23.8
million compared to $21.5 million at June 26, 1994.

Sales related to United States government contracts, which consist primarily of
defense contracts and represented approximately 18% of the Company's total 1995
sales from continuing operations, have been declining in recent years. While
management remains concerned with the 


                                       15
<PAGE>   17
continued trend toward reductions in defense spending, many of the Company's
defense related programs, as well as spare parts requirements for these
programs, will continue for several years, though there can be no assurances in
that regard. Moreover, the Company is well on its way in 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 58% as of June 2, 1995, compared
to 38% as of March 31, 1995. The current ratio at July 2, 1995, stood at 3.30
compared to 3.25 at March 31, 1995. Working Capital was $80.1 million at July 2,
1995, up $32 million from March 31, 1995. These increases were primarily the
result of the Seeger Group acquisition on June 30, 1995.

Related to the Company's acquisition of the Seeger Group, on June 30, 1995 the
Company refinanced all of its bank debt, so that on July 2, 1995 it consisted of
$24.2 million of borrowings under a revolving credit line, $3.6 million of
borrowings under international lines of credit, a $35 million term loan and a
$25 million term loan. The revolving bank credit line commitment is $34 million,
will be available to the Company through December 31, 2000 and is subject to a
borrowing base formula. The agreement provides for borrowings and letters of
credit based on collateralized accounts receivable and inventory. In addition,
all of the remaining assets of the Company and its subsidiaries are included as
collateral. Letters of credit under the line at July 2, 1995 were $1.1 million.
The total commitment from the international lines of credit are $6 million and
have the same availability and collateral as the revolving credit line, but are
not subject to a borrowing base formula. Interest on the revolver and the
international lines of credit are tied to the primary lending bank's prime rate,
or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), with a margin, depending upon the
Company's achievement of certain operating and financial goals.

The $35 million and $25 million term loans are with the same lenders as the
revolving and international lines of credit, are secured by the same collateral,
and are due and payable on December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2002, respectively.
The $35 million term loan provides that an additional $15 million will be
available for future acquisitions. Principal payments on the $35 million term
loan of $1.4 million, with escalations to $1.8 million and $2.8 million in June,
1999 and June, 2000, respectively, begin on December 31, 1995, and are due and
payable on the last day of each quarter through December 31, 2000. Interest on
the $35 million term loan is tied to the primary lending bank's prime rate, or
LIBOR, with a margin, depending upon the Company's achievement of certain
operating and financial goals. Principal payments on the $25 million term loan
of $0.5 million are due and payable on the last day of each year beginning on
June 30, 1996 through June 30, 2000, with final balloon payments of $7.5 million
and $15 million due and payable on June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2002,
respectively. Interest on the $25 million term loan accrues at the primary
lending bank's prime rate plus two percentage points. The agreement also gives
the Company the option of using LIBOR plus three and one-quarter percentage
points. At July 2, 1995, the Company had no borrowings utilizing LIBOR.

The credit facility limits the Company's ability to pay dividends to 25% of net
income and restricts capital expenditures to $6.5 million for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 1996, and $7 million thereafter for the life of the agreement,
as well as containing other customary financial covenants.

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 1996 were $0.8 million as
compared with $1.4 million in the comparable period in 1995. The Company's two
segments have similar cash flow requirements.
