consolidated financial statements included in the Company's December 31, 1998

information furnished includes all normal recurring accrual adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results
for the interim period. Results for the first nine months of 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For
further information refer to the Company's consolidated financial statements
included in the annual report on Form 10-K.

4. Contingencies

   The Company has claims against others, and there are claims by others
against it, in a variety of matters arising out of the conduct of the
Company's business. The ultimate resolution of all such claims would not, in
the opinion of management, have a material effect on the Company's financial
position, cash flows or results of operations.

5. Adoption of Accounting Principles

   The Company will implement the provisions of Statement of Accounting
Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" (SFAS No. 133), which will be effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires all derivatives to be recognized in
the statement of financial position as either assets or liabilities and
measured at fair value. In addition, all hedging relationships must be
designated, reassessed and documented pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No.
133. Management believes the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material
effect on the Company.

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

Results of Operations

 Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended
 September 30, 1998

   Net Sales: Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 decreased
$6.7 million, or 15.9%, to $36.0 million from $42.7 million for the
corresponding period in 1998. The Engineering Services Segment's sales
decreased $4.5 million, or 20.6%, due to the timing and size of projects. For
the quarter ended September 30, 1998 the Company had six larger projects with
sales in excess of $1.0 million, totalling $12.7 million in sales, compared to
four such projects totalling $10.8 million in sales for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999. The Manufactured Products Segment's sales decreased $2.2
million, or 10.8%, primarily due to decreased centrifugal dryer sales,
powertrain fastener sales and decreased sales of transformers, partially
offset by increased steel fabrication sales.

   Gross Profit: Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 1999
decreased $0.2 million, or 2.4%, to $9.3 million from $9.5 million for the
corresponding period in 1998, primarily as a result of decreased revenues,
partially offset by an increase in gross profit margin. As a percentage of net
sales, the gross profit increased to 25.8% for the quarter ended September 30,
1999 from 22.2% for the corresponding period in 1998. The increase resulted
from the completion of projects with lower than anticipated costs within the
Engineering Services Segment.

   Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses of the Company for the quarter ended September 30,
1999 of $5.9 million approximated the selling, general and administrative
expenses of $5.9 million for the corresponding period in 1998. As a percentage
of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from
13.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 to 16.5% for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 due to decreased sales.

   Amortization Expense: Amortization expense of the Company for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 decreased $0.3 million, or 67.0%, to $0.2 million
from $0.5 million for the corresponding period in 1998. The decrease was
attributable to decreased amortization expense related to non-compete
agreements.

   Interest Income: Interest income of the Company for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 of $0.2 million approximated the interest income for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998.

   Interest Expense: Interest expense of the Company for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 of $2.3 million approximated the interest expense for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998.

   Provision for Income Taxes: Provision for income taxes of the Company for
the quarter ended September 30, 1999 of $0.4 million approximated the
provision for income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.

   Net Income: The net income for the Company for the quarter ended September
30, 1999 of $0.7 million was $0.1 million higher than the net income for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 for the reasons discussed above. Net income
as a percentage of net sales increased to 1.9% for the quarter ended September
30, 1999 from 1.5% for the corresponding quarter in 1998.

 Nine months ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Nine months ended September
 30, 1998

   Net Sales: Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 decreased
$11.2 million, or 9.4%, to $108.0 million from $119.2 million for the
corresponding period in 1998. The Engineering Services Segment's sales
decreased $7.9 million, or 13.6%, due to the timing and size of projects. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 the Company had eleven projects with
sales in excess of $1.0 million, totalling $37.5 million, compared to eleven
such projects, totalling $41.5 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1998. The Engineering Services Segment also had five projects with sales
between $500,000 and $1.0 million, totalling $3.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, compared to six such projects totalling $5.2 million

                                       9
<PAGE>

in sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The Manufactured
Products Segment's sales decreased $3.3 million, or 5.4%, primarily due to
decreased powertrain fastener sales, centrifugal dryers and decreased sales of
high voltage equipment, partially offset by increased steel fabrication sales.

   Gross Profit: Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
increased $1.3 million, or 4.9%, to $28.6 million from $27.3 million for the
corresponding period in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, the gross profit
increased to 26.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from 22.9% for
the corresponding period in 1998. The increase was primarily due to a reduction
in the cost of sales of approximately $1.6 million due to the settlement of a
lawsuit relating to an engineering contract claim. Without the effect of this
settlement the gross profit would have decreased $0.3 million primarily due to
the decreased sales level, partially offset by higher margins earned on
engineering services projects resulting from favorable close outs on completed
projects.

   Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses of the Company for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 of $17.6 million represented an increase of $0.8 million, or 4.6%, from
$16.8 million for the corresponding period in 1998 primarily due to higher
proposal costs within the Engineering Services Segment and higher warranty
costs within the Manufactured Products Segment. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from 14.1% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to 16.3% for the corresponding period
in 1999 due primarily to decreased sales.

   Amortization Expense: Amortization expense of the Company for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 decreased $1.3 million, or 67.6%, to $0.6
million from $1.9 million for the corresponding period in 1998. The decrease
was attributable to decreased amortization expense related to non-compete
agreements.

   Interest Income: Interest income of the Company of $1.0 million was $0.2
million, or 16.3%, higher than the interest income of $0.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998. This increase was due to interest received on
a lawsuit settlement, partially offset by decreased interest bearing deposits.

   Interest Expense: Interest expense of the Company for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 of $6.9 million approximated the interest expense for the
corresponding period in 1998.

   Provision for Income Taxes: Provision for income taxes of the Company for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased $0.8 million, or 90.3%, to
$1.7 million from $0.9 million for the corresponding period in 1998. The
increase in the provision for income taxes was due to higher earnings.

   Net Income: The net income for the Company for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 increased $1.2 million, or 77.6%, to $2.7 million from $1.5
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 for the reasons discussed
above. Net income as a percentage of net sales increased to 2.5% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 from 1.3% for the corresponding nine month
period in 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 of $14.7 million was generated from net income and non-cash
charges, decreased accounts receivable and increased accounts payable and
accrued expenses partially offset with funds used to increase other assets.
Included in non-cash charges for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
depreciation of $1.9 million and amortization of $0.6 million, partially offset
with pension overfunding income of $0.7 million. Cash flows from operations for
any specific period are often materially affected by the timing and amounts of
cash receipts and cash disbursements related to engineering services projects.

   Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 of $7.2 million consisted of notes receivable issued to officers of $4.2
million, $1.3 million for the Company's regular practice of upgrading and
maintaining its equipment base and facilities, and $1.7 million net of cash
acquired of $0.5 million for the

                                       10
<PAGE>

stock acquisiton of Vanco International, Inc. ("Vanco") on September 30, 1999
from Video Display Corporation. Vanco, located in Waukegan, Illinois sources,
packages and distributes electronic components.

   Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 totalled $3.2 million, and was attributable to the repurchase of $3.0
million of the Company's long-term debt and the scheduled repayment of notes
payable.

   The Company's liquidity requirements, both long term (over one year) and
short term, are for working capital, capital expenditures and debt service.
The primary source for meeting these needs has been funds provided by
operations. The Company may also continue to use its liquidity for the
acquisition of businesses or product lines through strategic acquisitions. As
part of its overall business strategy the Company regularly evaluates
potential acquisition candidates. Based on current and planned operations, the
Company believes that funds provided from operations, along with cash on hand,
will be adequate to meet its anticipated debt service requirements, working
capital needs and capital expenditures. The Company has a credit facility to
provide a $20.0 million revolving line of credit, subject to borrowing base
limitations. The term of this facility expires in November, 2000. At September
30, 1999, there were no borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility (excluding
$4.6 million in outstanding letters of credit).

Backlog

   The Company's backlog consists primarily of that portion of engineering
services contracts that have been awarded but not performed and also includes
open manufacturing orders. Backlog at September 30, 1999 had increased $8.5
million, or 14.5%, to $67.0 million from $58.5 million at December 31, 1998. A
substantial majority of current backlog is expected to be realized in the next
twelve months.

Year 2000

   The following constitutes a Year 2000 readiness disclosure statement of the
Company.

   The Year 2000 (or "Y2K") issue denotes the possible inability of computers,
hardware or software to perform properly due to the inability to interpret
date information correctly before, during or after the Year 2000 including all
of the associated consequences of such failures on the Company's operations.
If not corrected, such situations could result in computer-system failures or
miscalculations causing disruptions in the Company's operations.

   The Company has developed and is implementing a program (the "Y2K Program")
to address the Y2K issue. The Y2K Program is coordinated at the corporate
level through its Year 2000 committee and is implemented by teams in the
Company's operating units. The Y2K Program is being implemented in three
phases. Phase I is to identify Company systems vulnerable to Y2K issues. Phase
II is the remediation or replacement of critical items. Phase III is the final
testing of each major area to test readiness. Progress of the Y2K Program is
presented on a regular basis to the Company's senior management and to the
Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. In addition the Company
has identified three major areas determined to be critical for successful Y2K
readiness: (1) financial and informational systems applications, (2)
manufacturing applications and (3) third-party relationships.

   In accordance with Phase I of the Y2K Program, the Company has conducted an
internal review of systems and has contacted software suppliers to determine
major areas of vulnerability. Critical systems needing to be replaced or
updated have been identified and updated. In the manufacturing applications
area the Company has sent each operating unit an extensive checklist of items
to review that covers hardware, software, operating systems and embedded
systems. The Company currently believes that no critical systems will need to
be replaced in the manufacturing area in order for the Company to be Y2K
ready. The Company has developed and circulated a questionnaire in order to
assess the Y2K readiness of its critical vendors. For purposes of the Y2K
issue, the

                                      11
<PAGE>

Company has identified its critical vendors as consisting primarily of large
volume suppliers, sole source suppliers, foreign suppliers, and utility
companies. The Company has also compiled a listing of its major customers. The
Company has developed and circulated a questionnaire in order to assess its
customers' Y2K readiness as it relates to issuing purchase orders, accepting
shipments, and paying invoices on a timely basis.

   In accordance with Phase II, the remediation phase of the Y2K Program, the
Company has utilized each operating unit's checklist in monitoring progress
towards Y2K readiness. The Company has already replaced computer and related
accounting systems which were deemed to be non-compliant and in need of
updated software. The Company's Y2K plans call for each operating unit to
report its progress towards Y2K readiness to the Company on a periodic basis
using this checklist as a guide.

   The Company has completed Phase III, the testing phase, verifying that the
affected systems have been properly repaired. During this phase as it was
determined that additional repairs were required, such repairs were made, or
alternative corrective actions taken.

   The Company estimates the total cost of its Year 2000 readiness program at
approximately $0.5 million, consisting of both internal and external costs,
primarily for hardware and software upgrades and replacements (although a
substantial portion of the cost of new hardware and software would have been
purchased by the Company through the regular and routine upgrading of
systems). Such hardware and software will be capitalized and depreciated over
the estimated useful lives of the related assets in accordance with the
Company's accounting policy. All other expenditures will be charged to
expense.

   The failure to identify and correct a Year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption in, or failure of, certain normal business activities or
operations. The Company does not expect such failures to have a materially
adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition. However,
because of the general uncertainty about Year 2000 readiness throughout the
world economy, which results in uncertainties regarding the readiness of
vendors, customers, utilities, municipalities or other matters outside its
control, the Company is currently unable to determine whether Year 2000
problems may have a materially adverse effect on its results of operations or
financial condition.

   It is not presently possible to describe a reasonably likely "worst case
Year 2000 scenario" without making numerous assumptions. The Company presently
believes that a most likely worst case scenario would make it necessary for
the Company to replace some suppliers, rearrange some work plans, or perhaps
interrupt some of its operations. Assuming that this assessment is correct,
the Company does not believe that such circumstances would have a materially
adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations, even if it
is necessary to incur additional costs to correct unanticipated readiness
failures.

   The Company is currently developing contingency plans in the event that all
or portions of the Y2K Program prove to be inadequate in addressing the Y2K
issue. The Company is developing these contingency plans for those business
areas where contingency plans will be necessary and feasible and expects to to
have these contingency plans in place by December 31, 1999. Any contingency
plan will be based on its best estimates of numerous factors, which, in turn
will be derived by relying on numerous assumptions about future events.
However, there can be no assurance that these assumptions or estimates will
have been correctly made, or that the Company will have anticipated all
relevant factors, or that there will not be a delay in or increased costs
associated with the Company's Year 2000 program. Any delay in implementation
of the Year 2000 program could affect the Company's Year 2000 readiness.
Specific factors that might cause the actual outcome to differ from the
projected outcome include, without limitation, the continued availability of
personnel trained in the computer programming skills necessary for the
remediation of Year 2000 problems, the ability to locate and correct all
relevant non-compliant systems, timely and accurate responses by third
parties, and the ability to implement interfaces between new systems and
systems not being replaced.

Safe Harbor

   Statements herein regarding Year 2000, the Company's ability to address
Year 2000 issues, the Company's estimates regarding the magnitude and impact
of Year 2000 issues, the Company's estimate of the total costs of

                                      12
<PAGE>

its Year 2000 Program, the Company's ability to meet its liquidity
requirements, the Company's acquisition plans and the Company's expected
realization of current backlog constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Act of 1934. Such
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected. With respect to
estimated costs, management has made assumptions regarding among other things,
the costs and timing of the system upgrades necessary to make our internal
systems Year 2000 ready and the ability of the Company's vendors, vendees,
utilities and municipalities to meet their Year 2000 readiness timetables.
Further, statements herein regarding the Company's performance in future
periods are subject to risks relating to, deterioration of relationships with,
or the loss of material customers or suppliers, possible product liability
claims, decreases in demand for the Company's products, and adverse changes in
general market and industry conditions. Management believes these forward-
looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed
on such forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

   The Company continues to use its reputation in the United States to expand
into international markets. In the nine months ended September 30, 1999
approximately 11% of the Company's net sales were attributable to services
provided or products sold for use outside the United States, primarily to
Poland and Trinidad. A portion of these net sales and cost of sales is derived
from international operations which are conducted in foreign currencies.
Changes in the value of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar
could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of
operation and debt service capability. The majority of the Company's foreign
sales and costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. With respect to transactions
denominated in foreign currencies, the Company attempts to mitigate foreign
exchange risk by contractually shifting the burden of the risk of currency
fluctuations to the other party to the transactions. It has been the Company's
historic practice to conduct international sales in accordance with the
foregoing. There can be no assurance that the Company's strategies will ensure
that the Company will be fully protected from foreign exchange risk. Foreign
sales, particularly construction management projects undertaken at foreign
locations, are subject to various risks, including exposure to currency
fluctuations, political, religious and economic instability, local labor market
conditions, the imposition of foreign tariffs and other trade barriers, and
changes in governmental policies. There can be no assurance that the Company's
foreign operations, or expansion thereof, would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations
and debt service capability.

                                    PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings from time
to time in the ordinary course of its business. As of the date of this filing,
neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are a party to any lawsuit or
proceeding which, individually or in the aggregate, in the opinion of
management, is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition, results of operation or cash flow of the Company.
