4.  Long-Term Debt
	In April 2000, the Company renegotiated the terms of the note
payable to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC) whereby
payment of such note was extended from September 30, 2000 to April 16,
2001.  Accordingly, this note has been classified as current beginning
June 30, 2000.  In exchange for this extension, the Company agreed to
pay a fee by issuing 13,000 of its common shares to the PBGC and agreed
that the interest rate on the note would remain at 7% per year
compounded quarterly until October 1, 2000 at which time the interest
rate will increase to 11% per year.  Interest is payable at maturity.

5. Industry Segments and Geographic Areas
	The Company classifies its revenues based upon the location (i.e.
manufacture or purchase for resale-distribution) of the facility and its
function.  Such revenues are regularly reviewed by the Directors and
management and decisions are made on such basis.

	The operating expenses and resultant net profit (loss) and the
assets are similarly reviewed and decisions made based upon whether they

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition
	The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.00 at
June 30, 2000, compared to 1.13 at December 31, 1999.  The decrease is
attributable to the reclassification of the note payable to the PBGC in
the amount of $1,248,000 from long term to current since it is payable
April 16, 2001.  The liquidation of Harrison during the first quarter of
2000 had no impact upon the Company since it has been carried at no
value on the balance sheet since 1996.

	At June 30, 2000, the Company's subsidiaries had approximately
$6.7 million in available bank credit lines of which $5.1 million was in
use.

	The Company believes it has adequate cash flow from operations to
meet its ongoing obligations including debt repayments and capital
commitments.  On April 10, 2000, the Company renegotiated the terms of
the note payable to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC)
whereby payment of such note was extended from September 30, 2000 to
April 16, 2001.  In exchange for this extension, the Company agreed to
pay a fee by issuing 13,000 of its common shares to the PBGC and agreed
that the interest rate on the note would remain at 7% per year
compounded quarterly until October 1, 2000 at which time the interest
rate will increase to 11% per year.  Interest is payable at maturity.

Market Risks
Foreign Currency Fluctuations
	With operations in three different countries, the Company's
operating results may be adversely affected by significant fluctuations
in the relative values among the U.S. dollar, Irish Punt and the British
Pound Sterling.  The Company is periodically involved in hedging
currency between the Irish Punt and the British Pound Sterling through
the use of futures contracts which are relatively short term in nature.
The Company historically has experienced minimal gains and losses on
such foreign currency hedging.

Debt Instruments
	The Company's long term debt of $2,113,000 including the current
portion is primarily fixed rate debt of which $1,248,000 is U.S.
denominated with the remaining balance denominated in Irish Punt.  The
Company's remaining debt of $5,144,000 is comprised of variable rate,
short-term facilities denominated primarily in Irish Punt which does not
subject the Company to significant interest rate risk as the borrowings
are short term.  The Company does not believe any reasonable interest
rate change in the ensuing year would have a material impact on the
Company's Statement of Operations.

Results of Operations

Six Months of 2000 Compared to 1999:
Net sales to customers increased by 15.2% during the first six
months of 2000 compared to 1999. The increase is primarily attributable
to increases in selling prices, a more favorable exchange rate for the
Irish Punt against the British Pound Sterling along with an increase of
2.6% in quantities shipped for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to 1999.
<PAGE>
The gross profit percentage decreased to 11.9% in 2000 compared to
13.6% in 1999, due primarily to increased raw material costs.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 11.2% of net sales from
12.7% in the preceding year because sales increased without a
corresponding increase in administrative costs.

Second Quarter of 2000 Compared to 1999:
Net sales to customers increased by 22.1% during the second
quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.  This increase is
primarily due to a continued upward trend of selling price increases and
the more favorable exchange rate of the Irish Punt against the British
Pound Sterling. Quantities shipped increased by 1.7% for the second
quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter of 1999.

The gross profit percentage increased to 12.5% in 2000 compared to
11.4% in 1999 as a result of higher margins on an improved sales mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 11.9% of net
sales compared to 14.0% in 1999 since sales increased without a
corresponding increase in administrative costs.

The Company realized $93,000 in foreign exchange gains in the
second quarter of 1999 as a result of closing out foreign exchange
contracts which had been used to hedge exposure to the British Pound
Sterling by the Company's Irish subsidiary as well as the impact of
translating Sterling denominated receivables and payables into Irish
Punt.

Income taxes for 1999 resulted from foreign taxable income at the
Company's Irish subsidiary.  The Company has tax loss carry forwards of
approximately $7,100,000 available to offset future U.S. taxable income,
which expire between 2000 and 2019.
