          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.  It is suggested that these condensed financial
          statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
          financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
          company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

          Statements for the three month and six month periods ended
          June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998 reflect, in the opinion of the
          company, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
          accruals) necessary to present fairly the results of these
          periods.  Results for interim periods are not necessarily
          indicative of results for a full year.

NOTE 2    Acquisitions

          On February 17, 1999, the company acquired all of the
          outstanding shares of Metal-Lab of Wisconsin, Inc. ("Metal-
          Lab"), located in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, for $9.9 million.
          Metal-Lab primarily serves the tool and die industry.  The
          cost of the acquisition has been allocated to the assets and
          liabilities based on their estimated fair market value.
          Goodwill is amortized using the straight line method over 30
          years. The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the
          revolving credit agreement.

NOTE 3    Debt

          In February 1999, the company's revolving credit facility with
          its banks was amended to increase the borrowing capacity from
          $45 million to $70 million.  Additionally, the amendment
          extended the maturity date of the agreement relating to the
          facility to December 2001 and adjusted certain loan covenants.

NOTE 4    Material Changes

          No material changes have occurred with respect to the
          company's contingent liabilities outlined in the company's
          1998 Form 10-K through the date of this report.

          In the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the company adjusted its
          purchase accounting related to goodwill and deferred tax assets
          and liabilities.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION:

 At June 30, 1999, the Company's total debt was $42.3 million, an
 increase of $7.5 million from $34.8 million outstanding at December 31,
 1998.  The Company's total debt to capitalization ratio was 41% at the
 end of the second quarter of 1999 as compared to 38% at the end of
 1998.  During the second quarter of 1999, total debt was reduced by
 $800,000.

 The level of debt increased as of June 30, 1999 in comparison to the
 level at the end of 1998 primarily as a result of the acquisition of
 Metal-Lab of Wisconsin, Inc. ("Metal-Lab") on February 17, 1999 for a
 purchase price, net of cash received, of $9.9 million.  This
 transaction was funded with additional borrowings under the Company's
 revolving credit facility.  The cash effect of this purchase was
 offset to a degree by cash generated from the sale of the last
 discontinued Precision Products operation - Arrow Acme Company -
 during the first quarter.

 In February 1999, the Company amended its revolving credit facility to
 increase the total borrowing capacity from $45 million to $70 million,
 to extend the maturity date of the agreement relating to the facility to
 December 2001 and to modify certain loan covenants.  At June 30, 1999,
 the Company had $36 million of available capacity under the amended
 revolving credit facility.

 Capital expenditures for the first six months of 1999 were $5.6
 million, an increase of $315,000 from the corresponding period of
 1998.  The spending in the first six months of 1999 related primarily
 to the acquisition of additional furnaces and related equipment for
 expansion at certain of the company's facilities.

 On April 27, 1999, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
 $.08 on each share of the Company's common stock, payable on June 1,
 1999.  The total cash dividends paid on the latter date were $472,000.
 This compared to a dividend payout of $.08 per share of common stock,
 or $389,000, in the same quarter of 1998.

 The Company believes that its borrowing capacity and funds generated
 through operations will be sufficient to meet currently foreseen
 capital investment and working capital needs in support of existing
 businesses for the balance of 1999 and in the longer term.

  OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

  Quarter ended June 30, 1999 and 1998

  Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 were $31.6 million,
  down $1.4 million, or 4%, from $33.0 million for the corresponding
  period in 1998.  For the second quarter of 1999, acquisitions made
  subsequent to June 30, 1998 accounted for about 9% of total net
  sales.  Excluding the effect of those acquisitions, the Company's
  remaining operations reported a decrease in net sales of
  approximately 13% overall.  The decline in net sales at existing
  operations resulted primarily from weakness in orders at Company
  facilities serving customers in commercial aerospace and oilfield
  equipment markets.

  Gross profit for the second quarter of 1999 was $9.4 million, down
  $931,000, or 9%, from $10.4 million in the second quarter of 1998.
  The Company's gross margin in the second quarter of 1999 was 29.8%,
  compared to 31.4% in the corresponding period of 1998.  The gross
  profit decrease in the second quarter of 1999 versus the same quarter
  of last year related mainly to the lower level of sales volume and
  a shift in sales mix toward somewhat reduced margin business.

  Selling and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 1999
  were $4.8 million, compared to $5.1 million in the second quarter of
  1998.  The decrease resulted largely from cost reduction efforts
  within the Company and a lower level of expense associated with the
  management bonus payout for the year.  Selling and administrative
  expenses as a percentage of sales were 15.1% for the second quarter
  of 1999, down slightly from 15.4% in the corresponding period
  of 1998.

  Interest expense net of interest income in the second quarter of 1999
  was $572,000, compared to $770,000 in the second quarter of 1998.
  This resulted from an increased level of interest income from  notes
  receivable related to the divestiture of the Precision Products
  segment during 1998 and 1999, and from lower average borrowing levels
  during the second quarter of 1999.  Borrowing rates were largely
  unchanged.

  Reflecting the above, net earnings in the second quarter of 1999 were
  $2.4 million, down from $2.7 million for the corresponding period of
  1998.  Diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 1999 were
  $.40 as compared to $.52 per share in the second quarter of 1998.
  The number of shares outstanding was higher in the second quarter of
  1999 as a result of the sale of 1,000,000 shares of common stock in a
  public offering in the third quarter of 1998.

  Six Months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998

  Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $63.7 million,
  essentially level with the $63.9 million reported in the corresponding
  period in 1998.  The level net sales reflected year-to-year weakness in
  orders at facilities serving the commercial aerospace and oilfield
  equipment markets, offset largely by acquisitions.

  Gross profit for the first six months of 1999 was $19.2 million, down
  $755,000, or 4%, from $20.0 million for the same period of 1998 primarily
  as a result of a shift in the sales mix toward somewhat reduced margin
  business.  The Company's gross margin in the first six months of 1999 was
  30.1%, compared to 31.2% in the corresponding period of 1998.

  Selling and administrative expenses for the first six months of 1999
  were $9.8 million, level with the $9.8 million reported in the first
  six months of 1998.  Selling and administrative expenses as a
  percentage of sales were 15.4% for the first half of 1999, up
  slightly from 15.3% in the corresponding


<PAGE 9>

                                   -9-

  period of 1998.

  Interest expense net of interest income in the first six months of
  1999 was $1.1 million, compared to $1.5 million in the first six
  months of 1998.  The decrease resulted from an increased level of
  interest income related to notes receivable received during 1998 and
  early 1999 from the divestiture of the Precision Products segment and
  from lower average borrowing levels during the 1999 period.

  Reflecting the above, net earnings in the first six months of 1999
  were $4.9 million, down from $5.1 million for the corresponding
  period of 1998.  Diluted earnings per share in the first six months
  of 1999 were $.82 as compared to $1.01 per share in the first six
  months of 1998.  The number of shares outstanding was higher in the
  1999 period as a result of the sale of 1,000,000 shares of common
  stock in a public offering in the third quarter of 1998.


  Possible Effects of Year 2000:

  The Company categorizes its exposure to Year 2000 issues as follows:
  information technology (IT) systems at its operating facilities; IT systems
  at its corporate office; embedded technology; customers; and suppliers.

  The Company's IT systems at its operating facilities are, generally,
  maintained by Company personnel.  The Company has upgraded its
  existing software used for order entry, billing, plant routing,
  shipping and process management to make it Year 2000 compliant.  No
  additional employees were hired, nor were any additional costs with
  outside vendors incurred, to revise the existing software for
  compliance or to install upgrades.

  The Company's corporate office utilizes IT systems supplied primarily
  by third party vendors for accounting functions and payroll
  processing.  All such vendors have stated that their software is now
  Year 2000 compliant and the Company has verified compliance.  The
  Company pays annual maintenance fees for the use of this software,
  and no additional costs have been incurred nor are there any expected
  related to this area.

  The Company's operations primarily involve furnaces and ancillary
  equipment.  Some of these use embedded technology such as
  microprocessor-based process controllers.  It has been determined
  that the embedded technology used in the operations is not date
  sensitive in many cases, or is Year 2000 compliant in others.

  No single customer accounts for more than 3% of the Company's sales.
  In addition, the Company serves over 10,000 customers.  The effect
  on the Company of the loss of sales from a single customer due to a
  Year 2000 issue, therefore, will largely be mitigated due to the
  Company's diversified customer base.  However, there can be no
  assurance that individual plants will not be adversely affected by
  the temporary loss of one or more major customers.

  With respect to suppliers, the Company's largest costs, excluding
  labor, are electricity and natural gas.  In the event a utility
  supplier cannot provide its service for an extended period due to a
  Year 2000 issue, the locations involved would be adversely affected.
  It is not feasible for the Company to arrange alternative power
  sources due to the level of demand involved.  Short-term disruptions
  are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company due to
  geographic dispersion of the Company's facilities.  Other purchased
  items used in the operations are available from many suppliers and
  there is little or no product differentiation.  A disruption related to
  these suppliers would have little impact on the Company.


<PAGE 10>

                                   -10-

  While subject to speculation, the most reasonably likely worst case
  scenario is currently considered by the Company to be the loss of
  either electric or gas power at an operating facility.  However, the
  Company believes that this would be localized and tend to be of a
  short duration.

  The Company also benefits from having over 99% of its sales generated
  within the United States, which has given the Year 2000 issue a high
  focus.

  The Company has designated a group of management personnel to
  coordinate Year 2000 activities.  This group has begun to develop a
  Year 2000 contingency plan and intends to complete it in advance of
  the Year 2000.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.     Legal Proceedings

            The company was the subject of a pending investigation by the
            government and a qui-tam (whistle-blower) lawsuit regarding
            alleged violations of the Federal False Claims Act and wrongful
            termination.  The company learned of the lawsuit in May 1998.
            The activities that were the subject of the investigation and
            lawsuit related to only one plant, and in the fourth quarter
            1998, the company established reserves for the potential
            settlement of this claim.  In the first quarter of 1999, the
            company reached a settlement in principle with the government
            and the plaintiff on terms consistent with the reserves
            previously established.  The company completed the settlement in
            the second quarter of 1999.
