NOTE 1.           Earnings Per Share:

          Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
          weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per
          share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the
          weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect
          of shares issuable through the exercise of stock options.

          The components of the denominator for basic earnings per share and
          diluted earnings per share are reconciled as follows: (in thousands)

         other borrowings of $0.7 million consist of a collateralized borrowing
         arrangement with a fixed interest rate of 3% due December 2004, and
         loans on life insurance policies owned by the Company with a fixed
         interest rate of 5%.

         As of June 27, 1999, the Company had domestic borrowings of $79.3
         million, international borrowings of $20.5 million, and letters of
         credit of $0.1 million under the Revolver. Interest on the Revolver is
         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 results.
         As of June 27, 1999, $95.5 million of the Company's outstanding
         borrowings utilized LIBOR of which $7.4 million and $13.1 million were
         payable in Deutsche marks and Pounds sterling, respectively.

         The credit facility requires the Company to maintain interest rate
         protection on a minimum of $50.0 million of its variable rate debt. The
         company has obtained this protection by means of interest rate swap
         agreements which have effectively fixed the rate of interest on $50.0
         million of debt at a base rate of 5.48% until May 4, 2002. The credit
         agreement also limits the Company's ability to pay dividends to 25%
         of net income and restricts capital expenditures to a range of $11.8
         and $15.8 million annually, and contains other customary financial
         covenants.

         The Company has announced two acquisitions which are more fully
         discussed under the heading of Subsequent Events (Note 6). One of these
         acquisitions has since been completed and has been funded from the
         current credit facility. The other acquisition will require a new
         credit facility that will be comprised of $250 million of Senior Debt
         (Revolver of $200 million and a Term Loan of $50 million) plus a $75
         million Bridge Loan. The new agreement is expected to be with
         substantially the same group of lenders plus others, but is expected to
         have more financial covenants and higher effective interest rates. The
         Bridge Loan financing is intended to be short term and is expected to
         be replaced with long term subordinated debt as soon as practicable
         after the closing of the acquisition.


NOTE 5.           New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

         In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
         133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,"
         was issued and is effective for the Company for its fiscal year ending
         March 31, 2002. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments
         be measured at fair value and recognized in the balance sheet as either
         assets or liabilities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
         this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6.           Subsequent Events

         On July 13, 1999, the Company announced that it had signed a definitive
         agreement to purchase the Engineered Fasteners business unit from Eaton
         Corporation for a price of $173 million. The Engineered Fasteners
         division had sales of $94 million in calendar year 1998 and had 650
         employees at its three manufacturing facilities, two of which are in
         Ohio and one of which is in Ontario, Canada. The acquisition will
         include the product brand name "Tinnerman" and will expand the
         Company's product lines for fastening products designed for the
         automotive, business equipment, consumer electronics, and home
         appliance markets. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval
         and financing arrangements which are currently underway. The
         acquisition agreement includes a letter of credit commitment for $4.0
         million, which the Company has complied with, as a requirement prior to
         closing.

         On July 19, 1999, the Company acquired Ellison Holdings, PLC
         ("Ellison") as previously announced for a purchase price of $15 million
         plus other contingent consideration. Ellison has its headquarters in
         Glusburn, West Yorkshire England where it employs 275 people and had
         sales of $22 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999. Ellison
         manufactures retaining rings, and other products similar to the
         Company's Anderton production facility which is located nearby in
         Bingley, England. In order to eliminate duplicate operations, the
         Company is planning to close its existing Anderton facility and move
         its operations to the new Ellison facility. The merged company will
         operate under the name TransTechnology (GB) Ltd. The Company expects
         to incur closure costs for the Anderton facility which are estimated
         to be within $3.0 and $4.0 million, to be recorded as a one time
         charge in the three month period ending September 26, 1999.

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 27, 1999 for fiscal year 2000 and the
three-month period ended June 28, 1998 for fiscal year 1999. Also, when referred
to herein, operating profit means net sales less operating expenses, without
deduction for general corporate expenses, interest and income taxes.

Net sales for the three-month period in 2000 were $55.4 million, a $3.9 million
or 7.5% increase from the comparable period in 1999. Gross profit was $16.1
million for the three-month period in 2000, down $0.8 million or 4.6% from the
comparable period in 1999. Operating profit for the three-month period in 2000
was $7.5 million, a decrease of $1.8 million or 19.6% from the comparable period
in 1999. Changes in sales, operating profit and new orders from continuing
operations are discussed below by segment.

Net income for the three-month period in 2000 was $2.2 million or $.35 per
diluted share, compared to $3.2 million or $.50 per diluted share for the
comparable period in 1999. As further discussed below, the decreased earnings
performance in 2000 resulted primarily from the decreased sales and operating
profit in the Specialty Fastener Products segment, particularly in the segment's
international operations. Interest expense increased $0.3 million for the
three-month period in 2000, primarily as a result of increased bank debt
resulting from the Aerospace Rivet Manufacturers Corporation ("ARM") and NORCO,
Inc. ("NORCO") acquisitions last year. New orders received during the
three-month period in 2000 totaled $57.3 million, an increase of $6.7 million
or 13.3% from 1999's comparable period. At June 27, 1999, total backlog of
unfilled orders was $89.0 million compared to $74.9 million at June 28, 1998.

SPECIALTY FASTENER PRODUCTS SEGMENT

Sales for the Specialty Fastener products segment were $41.2 million for the
three-month period in 2000, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 2% from the same
period in 1999. The decrease was primarily due to economic weakness in European
markets which was partially offset by the inclusion of ARM's sales for the
period. ARM was purchased last year on June 29, 1998.

Operating profit for the three-month period in 2000 was $4.2 million, a decrease
of $2.7 million or 39% from the comparable period of 1999. The decrease was
primarily due to lower sales from our European and Brazilian operations which
reflected a slowdown of automotive demand. Reduced demand and operating profit
also occurred in the domestic retaining ring operations. The domestic retaining
ring operations were fully consolidated last year but continue to lag in the
level of new orders. Reduced demand in the domestic airframe construction
industry and competitive price pressures in general have also adversely affected
operating profit for the fastener segment.



                                       11
<PAGE>   13



New orders for the three-month period in 2000 decreased $4.3 million or 10% from
the comparable period in 1999, reflecting the above market conditions. Backlog
of unfilled orders at June 27, 1999 was $42.8 million, compared to $46.1 million
at June 28, 1998.

Two new acquisitions in the Specialty Fastener Product line have been announced
and are discussed under the topic of Subsequent Events.

AEROSPACE PRODUCTS SEGMENT

Sales for the Aerospace products segment were $14.2 million for the three-month
period in 2000, an increase of $4.9 million or 53% from the comparable period in
1999. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of NORCO, Inc. on July
28, 1998.

Operating profit for the three-month period in 2000 was $3.2 million, an
increase of $0.8 million or 35% from the comparable period in 1999. The primary
factors contributing to the increase in the segment's operating profit in the
2000 three-month period were the inclusion of NORCO operations, partially offset
by lower profit margins due to a heavier mix of rescue hoist cargo products
versus overhaul work and spares.

New orders increased for the three-month period in 2000 by $11.0 million or 196%
from the comparable period in 1999 mainly due to the inclusion of NORCO orders
as well as increased rescue hoist orders reflecting the timing and placement of
new orders, in particular one order for $3.4 million placed during the last week
of June. Backlog of unfilled orders at June 27, 1999 was $46.2 million, compared
to $28.8 million at June 28, 1998 mainly due to the inclusion of the NORCO
backlog as well as the increase in new orders this period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 44.5% as of June 27, 1999,
compared to 45.3% as of March 31, 1999. The current ratio at June 27, 1999, was
3.97 compared to 3.39 at March 31, 1999. Working Capital was $72.4 million at
June 27, 1999, up $1.3 million from March 31, 1999.

On June 27, 1999 the Company's debt consisted of $100.5 million of borrowings of
which $99.8 million was due under the Company's revolving credit line (the
"Revolver") and $0.7 million were other borrowings. The Company has a credit
facility in place with a group of lenders providing for a revolving credit line
of $145 million, which includes up to $25.0 million for international borrowings
in Deutsche marks and Pounds sterling, and up to $5.0 million for letters of
credit. The other borrowings of $0.7 million consist of a collateralized
borrowing arrangement with a fixed interest rate of 3% due December 2004, and
loans on life insurance policies owned by the Company with a fixed interest rate
of 5%.

As of June 27, 1999, the Company had domestic borrowings of $79.3 million,
international borrowings of $20.5 million, and letters of credit of $0.1 million
under the Revolver. Interest on the Revolver is 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 results. As of June 27, 1999, $95.5 million of the Company's
outstanding

                                       12

<PAGE>   14



borrowings utilized LIBOR of which $7.4 million and $13.1 million were payable
in Deutsche marks and Pounds sterling, respectively.

The credit facility requires the Company to maintain interest rate protection on
a minimum of $50.0 million of its variable rate debt. The company has obtained
this protection by means of interest rate swap agreements which have effectively
fixed the rate of interest on $50.0 million of debt at a base rate of 5.48%
until May 4, 2002. The credit agreement limits the Company's ability to pay
dividends to 25% of net income and restricts capital expenditures to a range
between $11.8 million and $15.8 million annually, and contains other customary
financial covenants.

The Company has announced two acquisitions which are more fully discussed under
the heading of Subsequent Events (Note 6). One of these acquisitions has been
completed and has been funded from the current credit facility. The other
acquisition will require a new credit facility that will be comprised of $250
million of Senior Debt (Revolver of $200 million and a Term Loan of $50
million) plus a $75 million Bridge Loan. The new agreement is expected to be
with substantially the same group of lenders plus others, but is expected to
have more financial covenants and higher effective interest rates. The Bridge
Loan financing is intended to be short term and is expected to be replaced with
long term subordinated debt as soon as practicable after the closing of the
acquisition. As a result of the new financing arrangements, the Company expects
to increase its debt-to-capitalization ratio from approximately 45% to
approximately 70% immediately after the acquisition, and expects to reduce this
ratio in subsequent periods by the generation of operating cash flow.

Management believes that the Company's anticipated cash flow from operations,
combined with the bank credit lines available, will be sufficient to support
working capital requirements, capital expenditures and dividend payments at
their current or expected levels for the next twelve months. Capital
expenditures in the three-month period in 2000 were $1.6 million as compared
with $1.8 million in the comparable period in 1999.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 13, 1999, the Company announced that it had signed a definitive
agreement to purchase the Engineered Fasteners business unit from Eaton
Corporation for a purchase price of $173 million. The Engineered Fasteners
division had sales of $94 million in calendar year 1998 and had 650 employees
at its three manufacturing facilities, two of which are in Ohio and one of
which is in Ontario, Canada. The acquisition will include the product brand
name "Tinnerman" and will expand the Company's product lines for fastening
products designed for the automotive, business equipment, consumer electronics,
and home appliance markets. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval
and financing arrangements which are currently underway. The acquisition
agreement includes a letter of credit commitment for $4.0 million, which the
Company has complied with, as a requirement prior to closing.

On July 19, 1999, the Company acquired Ellison Holdings, PLC ("Ellison") as
previously announced for a purchase price of $15 million plus other contingent
consideration. Ellison has its headquarters in Glusburn, West Yorkshire England
where it employs 275 people and had sales of $22 million for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1999. Ellison manufactures retaining rings, and other products
similar to the Company's Anderton production facility which is located nearby in
Bingley,

                                       13

<PAGE>   15



England. In order to eliminate duplicate operations, the Company is planning to
close its existing Anderton facility and move its operations to the new Ellison
facility. The merged company will operate under the name TransTechnology (GB)
Ltd. The Company expects to incur closure costs for the Anderton facility which
are estimated to be within $3.0 and $4.0 million, to be recorded as a one time
charge in the three month period ending September 26, 1999.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

The Company has been addressing the year 2000 issue since 1997 and has been
monitoring the progress made at each business unit. The year 2000 problem
relates to the method that computer programs use to specify a date. In order to
save space in computer data storage, many programs in the past have been written
with two digits for the year specification instead of four digits. The two-
digit date field can make it difficult for computer programs to distinguish
between years such as 1900 and 2000, and therefore can cause malfunctions in
computers. Such malfunctions could interfere with any date sensitive processes
which exist in most computer operations as well as any equipment which uses
semiconductor or "embedded" chip technology. Similar system malfunctions could
also occur at third party supplier locations and consequently create delivery
and service problems for the Company.

The Company has taken steps to have all of its computer systems and facilities
in compliance with the Year 2000 date requirement before that date is reached.
Thus far, the Company has reviewed its facilities and internal computer systems
at all locations for compliance and identified all critical systems in need of
correction. The correction and testing of all critical systems has progressed
substantially and is scheduled for completion by September 1999. The approximate
level of completion at each business unit presently varies between eighty and
ninety-five percent based on current information available. The Company
generally does not sell products that are year 2000 sensitive, however, it does
sell test equipment which is presently Year 2000 compliant, and is providing
retrofit compliant programs to customers with older equipment.

The Company has also taken steps to review Year 2000 compliance by its major
vendors and customers. Survey results have been received and are being reviewed
and updated on a continuing basis. Based on information received to date, there
are no expected interruptions from critical customers or vendors. The cost of
year 2000 compliance is expected to be $0.5 million of which $0.3 million has
already been incurred and $0.2 million is anticipated to be incurred during
fiscal year 2000. The total cost capitalized for Year 2000 compliance is
expected to be less than $0.1 million.

As a precaution against unforeseen Year 2000 problems, the Company has
considered contingency plans including alternative automated as well as manual
backup methods. Other contingency plans which the Company is considering include
the outsourcing and sharing of computer processing requirements. Based on the
present and contingent planning assessment, the Company believes that the
"worst-case" scenario for the Year 2000 problem is in the category of outside
third party services and supplies. Certain government and utility provided
services are not generally available from alternative sources. Should such
services become unavailable there would be a likelihood of manufacturing
interruptions and resulting adverse financial consequences to the Company.


                                       14

<PAGE>   16



Based on the information obtained to date, the Company does not believe that
there will be any significant interruptions in systems that will adversely
affect the Company relative to the Year 2000 issue. The Company is not, however,
able to identify or control all external Year 2000 issues which may exist at
third-party levels or provide contingency plans for all possible future events.
Assessments of future events and other forward-looking assessments may be
adversely affected by subsequent findings and test results which could have a
material impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

EURO CURRENCY

Effective January 1, 1999, eleven countries comprising the European Union
established fixed foreign currency exchange rates and adopted a common currency
unit designated as the "Euro". The Euro has since become publicly traded and may
be used in commerce during the transition period which is scheduled to end
January 1, 2002, at which time a Euro denominated currency is scheduled to be
issued and is intended to replace those currencies of the eleven member
countries. The transition to the Euro has not resulted in problems for the
Company to date, and is not expected to have any material adverse impact on the
Company's future operations.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
           RISK

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign
currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss
arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign
currency exchange and interest rates. The Company does not enter into
derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company enters into financial instruments to manage and reduce the impact of
changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The counter
parties are major financial institutions.

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts principally to hedge the
currency fluctuations in transactions denominated in foreign currencies, thereby
limiting the Company's risk that would otherwise result from changes in exchange
rates. The principal transactions hedged are intercompany loans, intercompany
purchases and trade flows. Gains and losses on forward foreign exchange
contracts and the offsetting gains and losses on hedged transactions are
reflected in the Statement of Consolidated Operations.

At June 27, 1999, the Company had outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts
to purchase and sell $15.6 million of various currencies (principally Deutsche
marks and Pounds sterling). At June 27, 1999, if all forward contracts were
closed out, the Company would receive approximately $1.1 million (the difference
between the fair value of all outstanding contracts and the contract amounts). A
10% fluctuation in exchange rates for these currencies would change the fair
value by $1.2 million. However, since these contracts hedge foreign currency
denominated transactions, any change in the fair value of the contracts would be
offset by changes in the underlying value of the transaction being hedged.

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to
interest rate changes. The swaps involve the exchange of fixed and variable
interest rate payments without exchanging the notional principal amount.
Payments or receipts on the swap agreements are recorded as adjustments to
interest expense. At June 27, 1999 the Company had entered into interest rate
swap agreements to convert $50.0 million of floating interest rate debt to fixed
rate. At June 27, 1999, the fair value of these swap agreements was
approximately $0.7 million.
