necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For

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

   Net Sales: Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 decreased $5.1
million, or 12.0%, to $37.4 million from $42.5 million for the corresponding
period in 1998. The Engineering Services Segment's sales decreased $4.1
million, or 19.0%, due to the timing and size of projects. For the three
months ended June 30, 1998 the Company had four larger projects with sales in
excess of $1.0 million, totalling $12.9 million in sales, compared to six such
projects totalling $9.7 million in sales for the three months ended June 30,
1999. The Manufactured Products Segment's sales decreased $1.0 million, or
5.0%, primarily due to decreased powertrain fastener sales and decreased sales
of high voltage equipment.

   Gross Profit: Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 increased
$0.3 million, or 3.2%, to $9.4 million from $9.1 million for the corresponding
period in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, the gross profit increased to
25.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 from 21.5% for the corresponding
period in 1998. The increase resulted from the favorable completion of
projects within the Engineering Services Segment.

   Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses of the Company for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 of
$6.1 million was $0.6 million, or 11.8%, higher than the selling and
administrative expenses of $5.5 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. As a
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased from 12.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 to 16.3% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 due to decreased sales.

   Amortization Expense: Amortization expense of the Company for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999 decreased $0.5 million, or 70.9%, to $0.2 million from
$0.7 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 June
30, 1999 of $0.2 million decreased $0.1 million, or 30.3%, from $0.3 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. This decrease was primarily due to a
lower balance of interest earning assets.

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

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

   Net Income: The net income for the Company for the three months ended June
30, 1999 of $0.7 million approximated the net income for the quarter ended
June 30, 1998 for the reasons discussed above. Net income as a percentage of
net sales increased to 1.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 from 1.6% for
the corresponding quarter in 1998.

 Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

   Net Sales: Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 decreased $4.4
million, or 5.8%, to $72.0 million from $76.4 million for the corresponding
period in 1998. The Engineering Services Segment's sales decreased $3.3
million, or 9.3%, due to the timing and size of projects. For the six months
ended June 30, 1998 the Company had six projects with sales between $500,000
and $1.0 million, totalling $4.2 million in sales, compared to three such
projects totalling $2.3 million in sales for the six months ended June 30,
1999. The Company's projects with sales in excess of $1.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, totalled $23.0 million, compared to $22.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The Manufactured

                                       9
<PAGE>

Products Segment's sales decreased $1.1 million, or 2.7%, primarily due to
decreased powertrain fastener sales and decreased sales of high voltage
equipment, partially offset with increased sales of manufactured screens.

   Gross Profit: Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased
$1.5 million, or 8.8%, to $19.3 million from $17.8 million for the
corresponding period in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, the gross profit
increased to 26.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from 23.3% 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 $0.1 million primarily due to
the decreased sales level, partially offset with 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 six months ended June 30, 1999
of $11.7 million represented an increase of $0.7 million, or 6.5%, from $11.0
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 14.3% for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 to 16.2% for the corresponding period in 1999 due
primarily to decreased sales.

   Amortization Expense: Amortization expense of the Company for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 decreased $1.0 million, or 67.8%, to $0.4 million
from $1.4 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 $0.7 million was $0.1
million, or 29.2%, higher than the interest income of $0.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998. This increase was due to interest received on a
lawsuit settlement, partially offset with decreased interest bearing deposits.

   Interest Expense: Interest expense of the Company for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 of $4.6 million approximated the interest expense for the
corresponding period in 1998.

   Provision for Income Taxes: Provision for income taxes of the Company for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased $0.8 million, or 145.5%, to $1.3
million from $0.5 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 six months ended June
30, 1999 increased $1.1 million, or 125.9%, to $2.0 million from $0.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 for the reasons discussed above. Net
income as a percentage of net sales increased to 2.8% for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 from 1.2% for the corresponding six month period in 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
1999 of $4.0 million was generated from net income and non-cash charges,
decreased accounts receivable and increased accounts payables, partially
offset with funds used to increase other assets and decrease accrued
liabilities. Included in non-cash charges for the six months ended June 30,
1999 was depreciation of $1.3 million and amortization of $0.4 million,
partially offset with pension overfunding income of $0.5 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 six months ended June 30, 1999 of
$4.7 million consisted of notes receivable issued to officers of $4.2 million,
and $0.5 million for the Company's regular practice of upgrading and
maintaining its equipment base and facilities.

   Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 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.

                                      10
<PAGE>

   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.
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 June 30, 1999, there were no
borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility (excluding $4.5 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 June 30, 1999 had increased $22.2
million, or 37.9%, to $80.7 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
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.

                                       11
<PAGE>

   The Company is now entering Phase III, the testing phase, which will verify
if the affected systems have been properly repaired. If during this phase it
is determined that additional repairs are required, such repairs will be made,
or alternative corrective actions taken. This phase is scheduled to be
completed by the end of November, 1999.

   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 currently has no contingency plans in place in the event it
does not complete all phases of its Year 2000 readiness program by December
31, 1999, or if all or portions of the Y2K Program prove to be inadequate in
addressing the Y2K issue. The Company is currently developing these
contingency plans for those business areas where contingency plans will be
necessary and feasible and expects to have completed enough of its readiness
work by September, 1999 to have these contingency plans in place by November,
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 its Year
2000 Program, the Company's ability to meet its liquidity requirements, 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

                                      12
<PAGE>

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 six months ended June 30, 1999 approximately
12% 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.
