NOTE 1.           Earnings Per Share:

         Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common
         stock 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

         At June 30, 1996, the Company's only remaining discontinued and unsold
         business is its Australian computer graphics service operation, using
         the name TransTechnology Australasia.

         In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company recorded an after-tax charge
         of $0.4 million to record the anticipated loss on the sale of its
         facility formerly used by the chaff products operation. On May 15,
         1996, the Company concluded the sale of this facility for $2.1 million
         in cash.

         Additional after-tax costs of $0.3 million were recorded in the first
         quarter of 1997, in connection with other previously discontinued and
         sold businesses. These additional costs represent adjustments to
         previous estimates related primarily to environmental and legal
         matters.

NOTE 4.       Acquisitions

         On June 30, 1995 the Company acquired the Seeger Group of companies
         from a unit of AB SKF of Goteborg, Sweden for approximately $43 million
         in cash plus direct acquisition costs and the assumption of trade debts
         and accrued expenses. The Seeger Group, headquartered in Konigstein,

         manufacturing facilities located in Germany, the UK, Brazil and the
         U.S.A.

         On June 18, 1996 the Company acquired the Pebra hose clamp business
         from Pebra GmbH Paul Braun i.K. for approximately $3 million in cash
         plus direct acquisition costs. Pebra, which employs 41 people, is

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 30, 1996 for fiscal year 1997 and the
three-month period ended July 2, 1995 for fiscal year 1996. Also when referred
to herein, operating profit means net sales less operating expenses, without
deduction for general corporate expenses, interest and income taxes.

Revenue from continuing operations for the three-month period in 1997 was $44.9
million, a $18.5 million or 70% increase from the $26.4 million reported in the
comparable period in 1996. Gross profit was $14 million for the three-month
period in 1997, up $5.5 million or 65% from the comparable period in 1996.
Operating profit from continuing operations for the three-month period in 1997
was $7.6 million, an increase of $2.5 million or 49% 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
1997 was $1.8 million or $.36 per share, compared to $1.6 million or $.31 per
share for the comparable period of 1996. As further discussed below, the
increased earnings performance in 1997 resulted primarily from the inclusion of
the Seeger Group operations in the three-month 1997 period.

Interest expense increased $0.9 million for the three-month period in 1997, from
$0.9 million in the comparable 1996 period, primarily as a result of increased
bank borrowings used for the acquisition of the Seeger Group on June 30, 1995.

New orders received during the three-month period in 1997 totaled $44.8 million,
an increase of $16.6 million or 59% from 1996's comparable period. At June 30,
1996, total backlog of unfilled orders was $59.2 million compared to $32.6
million at July 2, 1995.


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

At June 30, 1996, the Company's only remaining discontinued and unsold business
is its Australian computer graphics service operation, using the name
TransTechnology Australasia.

In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company recorded an after-tax charge of $0.4
million related to the anticipated loss on the sale of its facility formerly
used by the chaff products operation. On May 15, 1996, the Company concluded the
sale of this facility for $2.1 million in cash.

Additional after-tax costs of $0.3 million were recorded in the first quarter of
1997, in connection with other previously discontinued and sold businesses.
These additional costs represent adjustments to previous estimates related
primarily to environmental and legal matters.

SPECIALTY FASTENER PRODUCTS SEGMENT

Sales for the specialty fastener products segment were $35.5 million for the
three-month period in 1997, an increase of $16.3 million, or 85% from the same
period in 1996. The increase in specialty fastener sales was primarily due to
the inclusion of operations of the Seeger Group of companies for the 1997
three-month period, offset by a decrease in domestic heavy duty truck fastener
demand.

Operating profit for the three-month period in 1997 was $5.7 million, an
increase of $1.2 million or 27% from the comparable period of 1996. The increase
was primarily due to the inclusion of operations of the Seeger Group of
companies for the 1997 three-month period, offset by the decrease in domestic
heavy duty truck fastener sales volume, as mentioned above.

New orders for the three-month period in 1997 increased $16.9 million or 88%
from the comparable period in 1996, primarily due to the inclusion of operations
of the Seeger Group of companies for the 1997 three-month period. Backlog of
unfilled orders at June 30, 1996 was $28.8 million, compared to $8.8 million at
July 2, 1995.


RESCUE HOIST AND CARGO HOOK PRODUCTS SEGMENT

Sales of the rescue hoist and cargo hook products segment were $9.1 million for
the three-month period in 1997, up $2.1 million or 30% from the comparable
period in 1996. The increase was primarily due to the timing of customers
placing new orders.

Operating profit for the three-month period in 1997 was $1.9 million, an
increase of $1.3 million or 206% from the comparable period in 1996. The primary
factors contributing to the increase in the segment's operating profit in the
1997 three-month period were the increase in the sales volume, mentioned above,
product sales mix and sales price increases.

New orders decreased for the three-month period in 1997 by $0.3 million or 4%
from the comparable period in 1996 primarily due to customer timing and
placement of new orders. Backlog of unfilled orders at June 30, 1996 was $30.4
million, compared to $23.8 million at July 2, 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 51% as of June 30, 1996, compared
to 52% as of March 31, 1996. The current ratio at June 30, 1996, stood at 2.54
compared to 2.51 at March 31, 1996. Working Capital was $54 million at June 30,
1996, down $3.4 million from March 31, 1996.

                                       13
<PAGE>   15
At June 30, 1996, the Company's debt consisted of $17.1 million of borrowings
under a revolving credit line, $4.7 million of borrowings under international
lines of credit, a $29.8 million term loan, a $24.5 million term loan and $0.7
million of other borrowings. The revolving bank credit line commitment is $33.4
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, which are included in the borrowing
base formula, are limited to $5 million. Letters of credit under the line at
June 30,1995 were $0.2 million. The total commitment from the international
lines of credit are $6.6 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 bank's prime rate, or at the Company's option, the London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus a margin that varies depending upon the Company's
achievement of certain operating and financial goals.

The $29.8 million and $24.5 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 $29.8 million term loan has an additional $15 million available through
March 1997 for future acquisitions. Quarterly principal payments on the $29.8
million term loan of $1.4 million, with escalations to $1.8 million and $2.8
million in June 1999 and June 2000, respectively, began on December 31, 1995,
and are due and payable on the last day of each quarter through December 31,
2000. Interest on the $29.8 million term loan is tied to the primary bank's
prime rate, or LIBOR, plus a margin that varies depending upon the Company's
achievement of certain operating and financial goals. Principal payments on the
$24.5 million term loan of $0.5 million are due and payable annually beginning
on June 30, 1996 and continue 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 $24.5 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 June 30, 1996, the Company had $50.7 million of borrowings
utilizing LIBOR.

The credit facility limits the Company's ability to pay dividends to 25% of net
income and restricts capital expenditures to $7 million, 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 1997 were $1.3 million as
compared with $0.8 million in the comparable period in 1996.
