1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31,June 30, 2013 (unaudited) and December 31, 2012 (audited) and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the indicated periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted from these unaudited financial statements in accordance with applicable rules. Please refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three monthand six-month period ended March 31,ending June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

2. The Company extends credit on the basis of terms that are customary within our markets to various companies doing business primarily in the automotive industry. The Company has a concentration of credit risk primarily within the automotive industry and in the Midwestern United States.

3. The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation, including environmental claims and contract disputes, in the normal course of business. While it is not possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect to contingent liabilities, including those related to legal proceedings, management is of the opinion that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not been made, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

4. The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately 32.4%31.9% and 32.3%32.8% for the firstsecond quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 32.1% and 32.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Rates were lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction allowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 199.

The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2010, 2011 and 2012 tax years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). While it may be possible that a reduction could occur with respect to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as an outcome of an IRS examination, management does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. No statutes have been extended on any of the Company’s federal income tax filings. The statute of limitations on the Company’s 2010, 2011 and 2012 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

The Company’s state income tax returns for the 2010 through 2012 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2016. The Company is not currently under examination by any state authority for income tax purposes and no statutes for state income tax filings have been extended.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Revenues for the firstsecond quarter of 2013, as well as for the current year to date, reflect continued growth compared to the year earlier periods. Net sales for the second quarter of 2013 were $9,125,736$9,327,643, an increase of $898,442, or 10.7%, compared with the year earlier quarter. For the first half of 2013, net sales totaled $18,453,379, an improvement of $823,860, or 4.7%, compared with the first half of 2012. The increase in sales is primarily due to $9,200,318our efforts to increase sales to automotive customers, that are currently benefiting from an increase in U.S. automotive production, in an otherwise slow economy. Net income for the second quarter of 2013 was $638,213, or $0.66 per share, compared with $440,432, or $0.46 per share, in the firstsecond quarter of 2012. The less than 1% declineincrease was primarily due to there being fewer shipping days inhigher sales and improved margins. Net income for the current year quarter. This decline in revenues resulted in net incomefirst half of $453,532,2013 increased to $1,091,745, or $0.47$1.13 per share, in the first quarter of this year compared to $493,734,with $934,166, or $0.51$0.97 per share, reported in the first quarter of 2012.

Fastener segment revenues were $8,302,744 infor the firstsecond quarter of 2013 declining fractionallyimproved 11.3%, to $8,463,688, from $8,334,120$7,605,981 reported in the firstsecond quarter of 2012. This ends a stringmarks the fourteenth quarter of quarterly increases in sales overexceeding the previous year quarter that extended more than three years. The decline was primarily due to fewer shipping days inout of the current year as well as a slowdown in the increase in domestic automotive production, upon which we rely forlast fifteen. With the majority of oursuch revenues derived from the automotive industry, the segment has benefited from increased North American production and sales of autos and trucks during the current year. For the first six months of the year, fastener segment sales. Toolingrevenues were $16,766,432, an increase of $826,331, or 5.2%, compared to the first half of 2012. The increase in fastener segment sales during the second quarter resulted in improved margins, offsetting a $146,000 increase in tooling costs increased $186,000 in the quarter, largely duethat was primarily related to the introduction of new parts. These higher costs were offset by reductions in the price ofparts into production. Additionally, lower prices for certain raw materials, principally steel, in the first quarter of this year comparedmaterial contributed to last year. Ourimproved results, while cost control efforts were successful in keeping other cost of sales items little changed as a percentage of net sales. The net result of these factors was a declinean increase in fastener segment gross marginmargins of approximately $79,000.$317,000 during the quarter. This reverses a $79,000 reduction in fastener segment margins incurred in the first quarter when sales growth was absent to offset increased tooling expenses related to new parts production.

Assembly equipment segment revenues were $822,992$863,955 in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $40,735, or 4.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2012, when revenues were $823,220. Second quarter sales increased 5% compared to the first quarter of 2013 compared to $866,198and offsets most of the decline experienced in the first quarter of 2012. The 5% revenue decline was duecompared to fewer machines being shipped in the current year quarter and lower machine tool sales. Despite the decline in revenues,earlier period. Year to date assembly equipment segment margins improvedsales of $1,686,947 are only fractionally lower than a year earlier at June 30. The increase in second quarter sales over the first quarter of 2012 bythis year, while keeping manufacturing costs comparable, resulted in an improvement in segment margins of approximately $11,000 due to lower material costs and reductions$23,000 in certain variable overhead expenses. Machine orders as of March 31, 2013 exceeded the level recorded one year earlier.

Selling and administrative expenses during the first quarter of 2013 were $1,351,814, a decline of 2.9% compared to $1,391,598 recorded in the first quarter of 2012. Sales commissions increased by approximately $18,000 for the quarter compared to the first quarter of 2012, but that2013, and left year to date margins approximately $10,000 ahead of the first half of 2012.

Selling and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2013 were $1,328,927, an increase was more than offset byof $48,889, or 3.8%, compared with the year earlier quarter. The increase is primarily due to a reduction$26,000 increase in payroll and related expensesprofit sharing expense as a result of improved operating results. Additionally, commissions increased approximately $37,000 and various smaller items. Compared$19,000 compared to netthe year earlier quarter, due to the higher sales in the current year. For the first six months of the year, selling and administrative expenses declinedhave increased a modest $9,105, from $2,671,636 in 2012, to 14.8% for$2,680,741 in 2013. While profit sharing and commission expense have increased a combined $55,000 on a year to date basis, these increases have largely been offset by reductions in other items in the current year, quarter comparedprimarily related to 15.1% inpayroll. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the first quarterhalf of 2013 declined to 14.5%, from 15.2% in 2012.

Working capital at June 30, 2013 amounted to $16.3$15.2 million, as of March 31, 2013, an increasea decline of approximately $.4$.7 million from the beginning of the current year. The largest component ofdecline is primarily due to the net change$1.5 million increase in capital expenditures in the first quarter washalf of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012. Total capital expenditures for the current year are nearly $2 million, with $1.5 million related to investments in cold heading equipment that will increase our capabilities as well as capacity. Another factor impacting the change in working capital is the increase of $1.2 million in accounts receivable, which increased by $1.3 million duerelated to greaterthe higher sales activity during the quarter, compared to the seasonally lower sales late in the fourth quarter of 2012. Partially offsetting this change was anThis increase is partially offset by separate increases of $.8approximately $.5 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses, sincewhich reflect the beginning of the year. These balances are consistent with thegreater level of activity duringtypical for this time of year compared to the quarter.end of the prior year. The net result of these changes and other cash flow items on cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit was a decrease of $.3$.7 million to $7.1 million, as of March 31, 2013.

Management believes that current cash, cash equivalents and operating cash flow will provide adequate working capital for the foreseeable future.

We are pleased to report positive resultshigher sales and net income for the second quarter and year to date compared to the year earlier periods. Our strong performance in 2013 has resulted in a 16.9% improvement in net income for the first quarterhalf of 2013.
