1.            Organization

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which reflect all
adjustments that management believes necessary to present fairly the results
of interim operations and which are of a normal recurring nature, should be
read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2002, included in the Company's annual report on

5.           Goodwill

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards, No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". As a result, the
Company recorded a non-cash pretax and after-tax charge of $21,992, which has
been shown as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

6.            Business Segment Information

See Part 1 "Financial Information" - Item 2 "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for the Company's
business segment disclosures. There have been no changes from the Company's
December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements with respect to
segmentation or the measurement of segment profit.

7.         Settlement of Litigation
In June 2003, the Company reached a settlement with the former shareholders of
ED&C in which the Company received $1,150 cash, and $3,850 in Subordinated
Notes Payable to the ED&C shareholders plus $693 of accrued and unpaid
interest was extinguished. The settlement is recognized as income on the
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations within Other (income)/expense -
Miscellaneous, net.

8.         Income Taxes
The tax provision for the nine months ending September 30, 2003, consists
primarily of federal tax of approximately $2,524, state and local tax of
approximately $1,464 and foreign income tax of approximately $2,782. The tax
provision includes a charge of approximately $2,524 for the quarter ending
September 30, 2003, to increase the valuation allowance related to deferred
tax assets. As a result of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards, No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", and ceasing
amortization of goodwill for book purposes, the reversal of the temporary
difference related to goodwill amortization for income tax purposes is
indefinite and can no longer be utilized to offset deferred tax assets.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Net sales for the third quarter of 2003 were 2.4% ($1.8 million) below those
of the same period for 2002 at $72.7 million. Net sales for the first nine
months of 2003 decreased 0.5% ($1.1 million) from 2002, to $215.8 million. The
declines in sales resulted from general softness in most of the Company's
principal markets, offset by moderate strength in the market for elevator
controls. The motors segment experienced a 6.3% decrease in third quarter
sales versus 2002, with year to date sales 1.8% below the same period in 2002.
Net sales of subfractional motors decreased 8.7% for the third quarter, and
are 1.8% below the prior year to date driven by protracted weakness in the
market for motors used in bottle and can vending, reduced demand for
refrigeration appliance motors, and the loss of value-added refrigeration
subassembly business. These reductions were offset in part by good demand for
other products, such as those used in medical, restaurant, and commercial
refrigeration end markets. Net sales of fractional/integral motors decreased
4.9% for the third quarter and decreased 1.2% for the year to date, compared
with the same periods in 2002. The reductions in sales were led by declines in
sales of DC products used in material handling and golf car applications,
reduced demand for DC products used in the floor care end market, and a weak
market in Europe. These declines were offset in part by the impact of Euro
currency translation on sales by FIR, which resulted in increases in sales of
$2.1 million and $5.5 million for the third quarter and year to date periods,
respectively. Net sales in the controls segment rose 7.6% in the third quarter
and 3.0% for the year to date compared with 2002 performance. The changes in
controls segment sales were driven by an improved elevator modernization
market (up 5.6% for the third quarter and up 1.1% for the first nine months of
2002) and by share gains in automotive conveyor controls.

Total company gross margin was $24.7 million in the third quarter, a decline
of 6.4% from 2002. For the nine-month period, gross margin fell 3.9% to $74.4
million. Gross margin as a percentage of sales fell from 35.5% in 2002's third
quarter to 34.0% in 2003. For the year to date, gross margin fell from 35.7%
of sales in 2002 to 34.5% in 2003. The slightly lower gross margins as a
percentage of sales are primarily attributable to unfavorable product sales
mix and to direct material cost inflation in China.

Total operating income for the third quarter of 2003 was $7.2 million, a
decline of $4.3 million, or 37.3% from the third quarter of 2002. Total year
to date operating income was $24.6 million, down $8.5 million, or 25.6% from
the same period of 2002. Operating income for the motors segment decreased
14.4% for the quarter ended on September 30, 2003 to $9.3 million, and
decreased 11.4% to $28.4 million for the year to date. The operating income of
the controls segment decreased 24.4% to $2.2 million for the quarter, and
decreased 9.4% to $7.3 million for the nine-month period then ended. Selling,
general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $15.0 million for the third
quarter, an increase of 21.9% ($2.7 million) from 2002. The increases during
the third quarter are driven by a $1.0 million charge for prior year medical
insurance deficits, unallocated corporate overhead that was $0.9 million
higher, and increases in research and development costs at Motion Control
Engineering ("MCE") relating to upcoming new product introductions ($0.6
million). For the 2003 year to date, SG&A expenses were $42.3 million, an
increase of 14.5% ($5.4 million) from the previous year. The year to date
increases are driven by unallocated corporate overhead that was $2.8 million
higher, the aforementioned insurance deficit of $1.0 million, and new product
introduction costs at MCE of $1.0 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In general, the Company requires liquidity for working capital, capital
expenditures, interest, taxes, debt repayment and its acquisition strategy. Of
primary importance are the Company's working capital requirements, which
increase whenever the Company experiences strong incremental demand or
geographical expansion. The Company expects to satisfy its liquidity
requirements through a combination of funds generated from operating
activities and the funds available under its revolving credit facility.

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 was $1.2 million, compared to $18.4 million
provided from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2003. The decrease is due to the Company's lower operating performance
discussed under the heading "Consolidated Results of Operations", and to
stable working capital during the first nine months of 2003 in comparison to a
$10.6 million decrease in working capital for the same period in 2002. The
decrease in 2002 resulted primarily from increased Accounts Payable due to the
Company's efforts to lengthen payment terms with its suppliers.

Investing activities. In the first nine months of 2003, the Company made $2.9
million in payments for capital expenditures, an amount $0.7 million lower
than in the same period of 2002. In 2002, the Company made $9.5 million in
payments, including related transaction costs, to form the Kinetek De Sheng
joint venture.

Financing activities. The Company is party to a Credit Agreement under which
the Company is able to borrow up to approximately $35.0 million to fund
acquisitions and provide working capital, and for other general corporate
purposes. Borrowings are secured by the stock and substantially all of the
assets of the Company. As of November 14, 2003, the Company has approximately
$21.7 million of available funds under this Credit Agreement.

On April 12, 2002, Kinetek Industries, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, issued $15 million principal amount of 5% Senior Secured Notes and
$11 million principal amount of 10% Senior Secured Notes for total net
proceeds of approximately $20.5 million.



Item 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
            ----------------------------------------------------------

The Company's debt obligations are primarily fixed-rate in nature and, as
such, are not sensitive to changes in interest rates. At September 30, 2003
the Company had variable rate debt outstanding of $0.9 million. The Company
does not believe that its market risk from financial instruments on September
30, 2003 would have a material effect on future operations or cash flow.

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates, including fluctuations in the functional currency of foreign
operations. The functional currency of operations outside the United States is
the respective local currency. Foreign currency translation effects are
included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholder's equity.
