             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


    Note 1. The accompanying financial statements for the three months
            ended April 2, 2000 and March 28, 1999 have been prepared,
            without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
            Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and
            footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
            prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
            principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
            rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
            disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
            misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements and
            these notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
            financial statements of the Company included in the Company's
            Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

            The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been
            derived from the audited financial statements at that date and
            condensed.

    Note 2. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments
            (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in
            the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation
            of the results of operations for the interim period. Results
            of operations for the three months ended April 2, 2000 and
            March 28, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of results to
            be expected for the entire year.

    Note 3. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
            method) or market.  A summary of the inventories follows:

                                         April 2, 2000   December 31, 1999

            Finished goods                  2,528,000        2,574,000
                                          -----------      -----------
               Total Inventories          $ 8,923,000      $ 9,240,000
                                          ===========      ===========

            Included in inventory above were cores of $3.1 million
            (April 2, 2000) and $2.9 million (December 31, 1999).

    Note 4. For reporting purposes, product and core returns are offset
            against gross sales in arriving at net sales. Net returns
            for the quarter ending April 2, 2000 were $2,473,000 versus
            $3,105,000 during the same period in 1999.

    Note 5. The income tax (benefit) expense attributable to operatons
            for the period ended April 2, 2000 differed from the amounts
            computed by applying the federal income tax rate of 34%
            principally as a result of tax benefits recognized related
            to the carryforward of net operating losses.

    Note 6. Business Segments - The Company has adopted Statement of
            Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131," Disclosures
            About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."
            Following the provisions of SFAS No. 131, the Company is
            reporting two operating business segments in the same format
            as reviewed by the Company's senior management.  Segment one,
            Fuel Systems & C.V. Assemblies, remanufactures and sells
            replacement fuel system components (carburetors and diesel
            fuel injection components) and constant velocity drive
            assemblies for substantially all makes and models of domestic
            and foreign automobiles and trucks.  Segment two, Electrical
            & Mechanical Products, remanufactures and sells replacement
            electrical and mechanical products for passenger car,
            agricultural and heavy-duty truck original equipment
            applications.  Management uses operating income as the measure
            of profit or loss by business segment.  Segment assets include
            amounts specifically identified with each operation.  Corporate
            assets consist primarily of property and equipment.  Business
            segment information is as follows:

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

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 2, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
    MARCH 28, 1999

    For the first quarter ending April 2, 2000, net sales were $7,454,000,
    an increase of $449,000, 6.4%, over net sales of $7,005,000 for the
    same period in 1999.  The sales gain over 1999 primarily reflects a
    significant rebound in heavy-duty business with existing agricultural
    equipment customers.  In particular, major gains were exhibited in
    heavy-duty starters, alternators and water pumps.  Carburetor sales
    were 4% lower than first quarter 1999.  First quarter 1999 carburetor
    sales included significant new stocking orders for stores acquired by
    the Company's two large retail customers.  Total product and core
    returns, which are reflected in reductions to net sales, were 24.3%
    and 30.8% of gross sales in the first three months 2000 and 1999,
    respectively.  Lower warranty returns account for the first quarter
    percentage decline from 1999.

    Carburetor sales were 67% and 74% of net sales in the first three months
    of 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The significant gain in heavy-duty sales
    accounted for the percentage drop versus total sales.  Net sales of
    carburetors were only slightly lower than 1999.  Although new vehicles
    sold in the United States and Canada are no longer equipped with
    carburetors, the Company continues to sell replacement units for older
    vehicles, many of which use carburetors.  The Company expects that
    carburetor sales will decline in future years.  In addition, carburetor
    margins may be negatively impacted in the future as customers seek to
    return product during periods of declining demand.

    Cost of products sold were $5,992,000, or 80.4% of net sales in the
    first quarter of 2000 as compared to $5,869,000, or 83.8% for the first
    quarter of 1999.  The decrease in cost of products sold as a percent of
    net sales is primarily attributed to lower direct labor.  Also,
    manufacturing overhead expenses did not increase proportionally with
    the overall sales increase.  Both manufacturing operations exhibited
    improved materials utilization and controlled overhead spending.

    Selling, distribution and administrative expenses were $699,000 for
    the first quarter of 2000 as compared to $716,000 in the first quarter
    of 1999.  Primarily contributing to the 2.4% spending decrease were lower
    administrative costs reflecting the reduction in Corporate overhead
    realized by moving the Corporate offices to the Hope Division.

    Interest expense was $151,000 for the first quarter of 2000 versus
    $155,000 in the same period of 1999.

    For the first quarter of 2000, net income was $602,000 compared to
    $267,000 for the same period of 1999.  This $335,000, or 125.5%,
    increase primarily reflects the increase in net sales and resultant
    gross margins, together with lower administrative spending versus 1999.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    WORKING CAPITAL

    Net working capital at April 2, 2000 was a positive $1,623,000,
    compared to a positive $865,000 at the end of 1999, and a negative
    $840,000 for March 28, 1999.  The $758,000 improvement in working
    capital over the year-end is principally a result of higher accounts
    receivable combined with a decrease in accrued liabilities.  The
    significant increase of $2.5 million over March 1999 reflects
    substantially higher inventories and accounts receivable versus a
    nominal increase in current liabilities.

    Net accounts receivable at April 2, 2000, were $5,007,000, or $1,116,000,
    29%, higher versus the year-end 1999 balance of $3,891,000 reflecting
    higher sales combined with slow payments by a major customer.  Net
    receivables increased $449,000 compared to the March 28, 1999 balance
    for the same reasons cited above.

    Net inventories of $8,923,000 at April 2, 2000, were lower by $317,000,
    compared to the year-end fiscal 1999 balances.  Reductions were achieved
    in all inventory categories as a result of a Company wide program to
    reduce inventories.  Net inventories increased by $2,635,000 versus March
    1999 reflecting higher parts, raw core and work-in-process inventories
    for the ramp-up of carburetor production at the Hope facility.

    Accounts payable at the end of the first quarter 2000 were $104,000
    lower than year-end 1999, but $2.5 million higher than March 1999.  The
    decline from year-end is due to lower raw materials spending, while the
    increase over the same period last year reflects higher raw materials
    spending for the increased production  of carburetors at the Hope
    Division.

    Accrued expenses at the end of the quarter were $128,000 lower than the
    fiscal year-end 1999 balances because of reductions to several year-end
    accruals related to vendor debt settlements.  Compared to March 1999,
    accrued expenses were lower by $2.0 million as a result of lower salary,
    wage and benefits accruals(timing difference between quarters), and lower
    sales deduction accruals which are predicated primarily on carburetor net
    sales which declined from last year.

    SEASONALITY

    The Company's business is slightly seasonal in nature, primarily as a
    result of the impact of weather conditions on the demand for certain
    automotive replacement parts.  Historically, the Company's sales and
    profits have been slightly higher in the first and fourth quarters of
    each year than in the second and third quarters.

    FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

    This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are
    subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the
    following:

    The Company expects the existing over-capacity in the automotive
    aftermarket and consolidation within its distribution channels to
    cause continued selling price pressure for the foreseeable future.
    The present competitive environment is causing change in traditional
    aftermarket distribution channels resulting in volume retailers gaining
    additional market presence at the expense of traditional wholesalers.
    In response, the Company has attempted to diversify its customer base
    and currently serves all major segments, including automotive warehouse
    distributors and jobbers, original equipment manufacturers of automotive
    equipment and large volume automotive retailers.  The anticipated
    decline in sales from the profitable carburetor product line over the
    longer term will impact future results.  The Company intends to offset
    these impacts through development of niche product markets, new product
    development, improvements in its manufacturing processes and cost
    containment with a strong focus on capacity utilization. There is
    no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful.

    The Company's three largest customers accounted for an aggregate of
    90% of the Company's total sales in first quarter of 2000.  Given
    the Company's current financial condition and its manufacturing cost
    structure, the loss of a large customer would have a materially adverse
    impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

    While the Company has established reserves for potential environmental
    liabilities that it believes to be adequate, there can be no assurance
    that the reserves will be adequate to cover actual costs incurred or
    that the Company will not incur additional environmental liabilities
    in the future.

    Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those set forth
    in the forward-looking statements.
