1.   INTERIM STATEMENTS

     The  accompanying   interim   consolidated   financial  statements  of  C&D
Technologies,  Inc.  (together with its operating  subsidiaries,  the "Company")
should be read in conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements and
notes thereto  contained in the Company's  Annual Report to Stockholders for the
fiscal year ended  January 31,  2002.  The January 31, 2002 amounts were derived
from the Company's  audited  financial  statements.  The consolidated  financial
statements  presented  herein are unaudited  but, in the opinion of  management,
include all necessary  adjustments  (which comprise only normal recurring items)
required for a fair  presentation of the consolidated  financial  position as of
July  31,  2002  and  the  related   consolidated   statements   of  income  and
comprehensive income for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2002 and
2001 and the  related  consolidated  statements  of cash flow for the six months
ended July 31, 2002 and 2001. However,  interim results of operations may not be
indicative of results for the full fiscal year.


2.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     On February 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  142,  "Goodwill  and Other  Intangible  Assets."  This
statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and
other intangible  assets. As required by SFAS No. 142, the Company  discontinued
amortizing the remaining balance of goodwill.  All remaining and future acquired
goodwill will be subject to an impairment  test annually (or more  frequently if
impairment   indicators  arise),  using  a  fair value-based   approach.   Other
intangible  assets will  continue to be amortized  over their  estimated  useful
lives and assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses  financial  accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.  SFAS No. 144
supersedes  SFAS  No.  121  and  the  accounting  and  reporting  provisions  of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30.

     In August 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 143,  "Accounting  for Asset  Retirement  Obligations."  This statement
addresses  financial  accounting  and  reporting  requirements  for  obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible  long-lived assets and the associated
retirement  costs.  SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after
June 15, 2002.  The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact
SFAS No. 143 will have on its financial  position and results of operations,  if
any.

     In July  2002,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  146,  "Accounting  for  Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal  Activities,"  which addresses the recognition,
measurement and reporting of costs associated with exit or disposal  activities,
and supersedes  Emerging  Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3,  "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity  (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)."  The principal
difference  between SFAS No. 146 and EITF No. 94-3  relates to the  requirements
for recognition of a liability for a disposal activity, (including those related
to employee  termination  benefits and obligations  under  operating  leases and
other  contracts),  be  recognized  when  the  liability  is  incurred,  and not
necessarily  the date of an entity's  commitment  to an exit plan, as under EITF
No.  94-3.  SFAS No. 146 also  establishes  that the  initial  measurement  of a
liability  recognized  under SFAS No. 146 be based on fair value. The provisions
of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated
after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged.

3.   GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

6.   NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

     Net income per share - basic for the three and six month periods ended July
31, 2002 and 2001 is based on the  weighted  average  number of shares of Common
Stock  outstanding.  Net  income  per share -  diluted  reflects  the  potential
dilution  that could occur if stock  options were  exercised.  Weighted  average
common shares and common shares - diluted were as follows:

7.   CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Environmental:

     The Company is subject to  extensive  and evolving  environmental  laws and
regulations  regarding the clean up and  protection of the  environment,  worker
health  and  safety  and  the  protection  of  third  parties.  These  laws  and
regulations  include,  but are not limited to: (i) requirements  relating to the
handling,  storage,  use and disposal of lead and other hazardous materials used
in  manufacturing  processes and solid wastes;  (ii) record keeping and periodic
reporting to governmental entities regarding the use of hazardous substances and
disposal of hazardous  wastes;  (iii) monitoring and permitting of air and water
emissions;  and (iv) monitoring  worker exposure to hazardous  substances in the
workplace,  and  protecting  workers  from  impermissible  exposure to hazardous
substances, including lead, used in the Company's manufacturing process.

     Notwithstanding   the  Company's   efforts  to  maintain   compliance  with
applicable  environmental  requirements,  if injury or damage to  persons or the
environment arises from hazardous  substances used,  generated or disposed of in
the conduct of the Company's  business (or that of a  predecessor  to the extent
the  Company is not  indemnified  therefor),  the Company may be held liable for
certain damages and for the costs of investigation and remediation,  which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations.  However,  under the terms of the purchase agreement with
Allied   Corporation   ("Allied")  for  the  acquisition  of  the  Company  (the
"Acquisition Agreement"),  Allied was obligated to indemnify the Company for any
liabilities of this type resulting from conditions  existing at January 28, 1986
that were not  disclosed  by  Allied  to the  Company  in the  schedules  to the
Acquisition  Agreement.  These  obligations  have since been assumed by Allied's
successor in interest, Honeywell ("Honeywell").

     The Company,  along with  numerous  other  parties,  has been  requested to
provide  information to the United States  Environmental  Protection Agency (the
"EPA")  in  connection  with   investigations   of  the  source  and  extent  of
contamination at three lead smelting  facilities (the "Third Party  Facilities")
to which the Company had made scrap lead shipments for reclamation  prior to the
date of the acquisition.

     The Company and four other potentially  responsible parties ("PRPs") agreed
upon a cost  sharing  arrangement  for the  design and  remediation  phases of a
project related to one of the Third Party  Facilities,  the former NL Industries
site in Pedricktown,  New Jersey,  acting pursuant to a Consent Decree. The PRPs
identified and sued additional PRPs for  contribution.  In April 2002 one of the
original four PRPs, Exide Technologies ("Exide"), filed for relief under Chapter
11 of Title 11 of the United States Code. On August 6, 2002,  Exide notified the
PRPs that it will no longer be taking an active  role in any  further  action at
the site and  discontinued  its financial  participation.  This results in a pro
rata increase in the liabilities of the other PRPs, including the Company.

     The Company also responded to requests for information from the EPA and the
state  environmental  agency with regard to another  Third Party  Facility,  the
"Chicago Site," in October 1991.

     In August 2002, the Company was notified of its involvement as a PRP at the
NL Atlanta,  Northside Drive Superfund site. The Company is currently  reviewing
information regarding its involvement at this site.

     Allied and/or Honeywell has accepted  responsibility  under the Acquisition
Agreement for potential liabilities relating to all Third Party Facilities other
than the aforementioned sites.

7.   CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)


     The Company is also aware of the  existence of potential  contamination  at
its Huguenot,  New York  facility,  which may require  expenditures  for further
investigation and remediation.  Fluoride and other  contamination in an inactive
lagoon exceeding the state's groundwater  standards,  which existed prior to the
Company's  acquisition of the site, has resulted in the site being listed on the
registry of inactive  hazardous waste disposal sites  maintained by the New York
State Department of Environmental  Conservation  ("NYSDEC").  The prior owner of
the site is expected to ultimately bear some, as yet undetermined,  share of the
costs  associated  with this matter.  The NYSDEC has issued a Record of Decision
for the soil remediation portion of this site. However, a final remediation plan
for the ground water portion has not yet been  finalized with or approved by the
State of New York.

     The Company, together with Johnson Controls, Inc. ("JCI"), is conducting an
assessment and remediation of  contamination  at the Company's  Dynasty Division
facility in Milwaukee,  Wisconsin. The majority of this project was completed as
of  October  2001.  Under the  purchase  agreement  with  JCI,  the  Company  is
responsible  for  (i)  one-half  of the  cost  of  the  on-site  assessment  and
remediation,  with  a  maximum  liability  of  $1,750,  (ii)  any  environmental
liabilities  at the  facility  that are not  remediated  as part of the  current
project  and (iii)  environmental  liabilities  for claims  made after the fifth
anniversary of the closing,  i.e.  March 2004,  that arise from migration from a
pre-closing  condition at the  Milwaukee  facility to  locations  other than the
Milwaukee  facility,   but  specifically   excluding   liabilities  relating  to
pre-closing   offsite  disposal.   JCI  has  retained  all  other  environmental
liabilities, including off-site assessment and remediation.

     In January 1999, the Company received  notification from the EPA of alleged
violations of permit effluent and pretreatment  discharge limits at its plant in
Attica,  Indiana.  The Company  submitted a compliance  plan to the EPA in April
2002. The Company is in active  negotiations with both the EPA and Department of
Justice  regarding a potential  resolution  of this  matter,  which is likely to
result in a penalty assessment.

     The Company accrues reserves for liabilities in the Company's  consolidated
financial statements and periodically reevaluates the reserved amounts for these
liabilities in view of the most current information available in accordance with
SFAS No. 5. Based on currently available information,  management of the Company
believes that  appropriate  reserves have been  established  with respect to the
foregoing  contingent  liabilities  and  that  they are not  expected  to have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,  financial  condition  or
results of operations.

8.   OPERATIONS BY INDUSTRY SEGMENT

     The Company has the following four reportable business segments:

     The Powercom  Division  manufactures and markets  integrated  reserve power
systems  and   components   for  the  standby  power  market,   which   includes
telecommunications,  uninterruptible  power supplies and  utilities.  Integrated
reserve  power  systems  monitor and  regulate  electric  power flow and provide
backup power in the event of a primary power loss or interruption.  The Powercom
Division also produces the  individual  components of these  systems,  including
reserve batteries, power rectifiers, system monitors, power boards and chargers.

     The  Dynasty  Division   manufactures  and  markets  industrial   batteries
primarily for the  uninterruptible  power supply,  telecommunications  and cable
markets.  Major  applications  of these products  include  wireless and wireline
telephone infrastructure,  CATV signal powering,  corporate data center powering
and computer network back-up for use during power utility outages.

     The Power Electronics  Division  manufactures and markets custom,  standard
and  modified-standard  electronic  power  supply  systems,  including  DC to DC
converters,   for   large   original   equipment   manufacturers   ("OEMs")   of
telecommunications   equipment,   office  products,   computers  and  industrial
applications.

     The Motive Power  Division  manufactures  complete  systems and  individual
components (including power electronics and batteries) to power, monitor, charge
and test the batteries used in electric industrial vehicles, including fork-lift
trucks,  automated guided vehicles and airline ground support  equipment.  These
products  are marketed to end users in a broad array of  industries,  dealers of
fork-lift trucks and other material handling vehicles,  and, to a lesser extent,
OEMs.

     The  Company  does not  invest in  derivative  securities  for  speculative
purposes,  but does  enter  into  hedging  arrangements  in order to reduce  its
exposure  to  fluctuations  in  interest  rates  as well as to  fluctuations  in
exchange rates. The Company applies hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS No.
133,  whereby the Company  designates each derivative as a hedge of (i) the fair
value of a recognized  asset or liability or of an unrecognized  firm commitment
("fair value" hedge);  or (ii) the  variability  of anticipated  cash flows of a
forecasted  transaction  or the cash flows to be received  or paid  related to a
recognized asset or liability ("cash flow" hedge).  From time to time,  however,
the Company may enter into  derivatives that  economically  hedge certain of its
risks,  even though  hedge  accounting  is not allowed by SFAS No. 133 or is not
applied by the Company. In these cases, there generally exists a natural hedging
relationship  in which  changes  in fair  value  of the  derivative,  which  are
recognized  currently in earnings,  act as an economic  offset to changes in the
fair value of the  underlying  hedged  item(s).  The Company did not apply hedge
accounting  to  currency  forward  contracts  with  a  combined  fair  value  of
$(1,060)and $(34) as of July 31, 2002 and January 31, 2002.  Changes in the fair
value of these currency forward contracts are recorded in earnings.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of C&D Technologies, Inc.:

We  have   reviewed  the   accompanying   consolidated   balance  sheet  of  C&D
Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of July 31, 2002, and
the related consolidated  statements of income and comprehensive income for each
of the three-month  and six-month  periods ended July 31, 2002 and 2001, and the
consolidated  statement of cash flows for the  six-month  periods ended July 31,
2002  and  2001.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the
Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A review  of  interim  financial
information consists principally of applying analytical  procedures to financial
data and making  inquiries of persons  responsible  for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  the  objective  of which is the
expression of an opinion  regarding the financial  statements  taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material  modifications that should
be made to the accompanying  consolidated  interim financial statements for them
to be in conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

We previously audited in accordance with auditing  standards  generally accepted
in the United States of America,  the  consolidated  balance sheet as of January
31,  2002,  and the related  consolidated  statements  of income,  stockholders'
equity,  cash  flows,  and  comprehensive  income  for the year then  ended (not
presented  herein),  and in our  report  dated  March 5,  2002 we  expressed  an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion,
the  information  set  forth  in the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet
information as of January 31, 2002, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


     Within the following  discussion,  unless otherwise  stated,  "quarter" and
"six-month period",  refer to the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  2003 and the six
months ended July 31, 2002. All comparisons are with the  corresponding  periods
in the prior year, unless otherwise stated.

     Net sales decreased  $41,201 or 33% for quarter and $112,522 or 40% for the
six-month  period.  The  decrease in sales for the quarter  resulted  from lower
customer  demand for products of all divisions.  Sales of the Powercom  Division
decreased $30,005 or 46% during the quarter, mainly due to lower demand from the
telecommunication  and UPS markets. The reduced level of capital spending in the
telecommunications  sector  continues  to  affect  sales.  Sales by the  Dynasty
Division  declined  $5,652 or 20% during the quarter,  due to lower sales to the
telecommunications  market,  partially offset by increased sales to the mobility
market.  Reduced  demand in our sealed  product  line  continues  to affect this
division.  Motive  Power  divisional  sales  decreased  $2,850 or 18% during the
quarter,  primarily  consisting  of  lower  battery  and  charger  sales.  Power
Electronics  divisional  sales  decreased  $2,694  or 18%  during  the  quarter,
primarily due to a decline in DC to DC converter sales to key telecommunications
customers.  The decrease in sales for the  six-month  period also  resulted from
lower  customer  demand for  products of all  divisions.  Sales of the  Powercom
Division  decreased  $71,442 or 50% during the six-month  period,  mainly due to
lower demand from the  telecommunication  and UPS markets.  Sales by the Dynasty
Division declined $18,033 or 29% during the six-month period, due to lower sales
to the telecommunications  and UPS markets,  partially offset by increased sales
to the mobility  market.  Motive Power  divisional sales decreased $8,100 or 23%
during the six-month period,  primarily  consisting of lower battery and charger
sales.  Power  Electronics  divisional sales decreased $14,947 or 37% during the
quarter,  primarily  due  to a  decline  in DC  to DC  converter  sales  to  key
telecommunications  customers.  We  continue  to see no near  term,  meaningful,
improvement  in the financial  performance  of the Power  Electronics  Division.
However,  quotation  activity  has  increased,  numerous  design  wins have been
registered  and more than 10% of sales in the  six-month  period  ended July 31,
2002 have come from newly introduced products.

     Gross  profit for the  quarter  decreased  $17,307  or 46% to $20,202  from
$37,509 in the same quarter of the prior year,  resulting in a decrease in gross
margin from 29.9% to 24.0% in the second  quarter of fiscal  2003.  Gross profit
during the quarter was lower in all  divisions,  primarily  as a result of lower
sales,  partially offset by cost savings  initiatives.  Also contributing to the
lower  gross  profit  in the  Motive  Power  Division  during  the  quarter  was
continuing plant operational difficulties. Gross profit for the six-month period
decreased $44,694 or 53% to $38,848 from $83,542 in the prior year, resulting in
a decrease in gross  margin from 29.7% to 23.1%.  Gross  profit was lower in the
six-month period in all divisions  primarily as a result of lower sales volumes,
coupled with the  aforementioned  plant  operational  difficulties in the Motive
Power Division,  and partially  offset by cost savings  initiatives.  The second
quarter's  gross  margin  percentage  of 24.0%  was an  increase  over the first
quarter's gross margin of 22.2%.  This is primarily due to prices that have held
up  reasonably   well  coupled  with   aggressive   cost   reduction/containment
initiatives  that have taken effect.  Material  costs,  including  lead,  remain
relatively stable at this time.  Additionally,  the  aforementioned  new product
introductions  at  our  Power  Electronics  Division,  along  with  new  product
introductions  at our  Powercom  and  Dynasty  divisions,  are having a positive
effect on our gross margins.

                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
                  (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  for the second  quarter of
fiscal 2003  decreased  $2,672 or 23%.  This decrease was primarily due to lower
variable  selling  costs  associated  with the  decreased  sales volumes and the
implementation of SFAS No. 142, which discontinued the amortization of goodwill.
Selling,  general and administrative expenses for the six-month period decreased
$7,572 or 30% due to:  (i) lower  variable  selling  costs  associated  with the
decreased sales volumes; (ii) the implementation of SFAS No. 142 and (iii) lower
salary  expenses.  This decrease was partially  offset by the positive effect of
the full recovery of certain  litigation and settlement costs from our insurance
carriers during the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

     Research and  development  expenses  for the second  quarter of fiscal 2003
decreased  $195 or 7%,  mainly  as a  result  of  lower  spending  by the  Power
Electronics  and  Powercom  divisions.  As a percentage  of sales,  research and
development  expenses  increased from 2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 to
3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 as a result of lower sales volumes.  For
the six-month period,  research and development  expenses decreased $540 or 10%,
primarily as a result of lower  spending by the Power  Electronics  and Powercom
divisions. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses increased
from 2% in the first six months of fiscal  2002 to 3% in the first six months of
fiscal 2003 as a result of lower sales volumes.

     Operating  income for the quarter  decreased  $14,440 or 63% to $8,626 from
$23,066 in the second quarter of the prior year. This decrease was the result of
lower operating income generated by the Powercom and Dynasty divisions,  coupled
with an operating loss  generated by the Motive Power  Division  (compared to an
operating  profit in the second  quarter of the prior  fiscal  year),  partially
offset by operating  income in the Power  Electronics  Division  (compared to an
operating loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2002). For the six-month  period,
operating  income  decreased  $36,582 or 69% to $16,101  from $52,683 in the six
months ended July 31,  2001.  This  decrease  was the result of lower  operating
income generated by the Powercom and Dynasty divisions coupled with an operating
loss generated by the Motive Power Division  (compared to an operating profit in
the first  six  months of the prior  fiscal  year),  partially  offset by higher
operating income generated by the Power  Electronics  Division.  With respect to
the Motive Power Division,  the operational  difficulties  are in the process of
being resolved.

     Interest  expense,  net,  decreased  $886 in the  quarter and $1,752 in the
six-month  period,  primarily due to lower  average debt  balances  outstanding,
coupled with lower effective interest rates.

     Income tax expense for the  quarter  decreased  $4,896 as a result of lower
income before income taxes,  partially offset by a slightly higher effective tax
rate.  For the six-month  period,  income tax expense  decreased  $12,882 due to
lower income before  income taxes.  The effective tax rate consists of statutory
rates adjusted for the tax impact of our foreign sales corporation, research and
development  credits  and foreign  operations.  The  effective  tax rate for the
second  quarter of fiscal 2003 was 37.0% compared to 36.4% in the second quarter
of the prior  fiscal  year.  For the first six months of the  current  and prior
year, the effective tax rate was 37.0%.

     Minority  interest  decreased $310 in the quarter and $813 in the six-month
period,  primarily  due to lower income  recorded by the  Shanghai,  China joint
venture.  Minority interest reflects the 33% ownership of the joint venture that
is not owned by C&D.

     As a result of the above,  net income decreased $8,396 or 64% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2003 to $4,704 or 18 cents per share - basic and diluted.  For
the six-month period,  net income decreased $21,119 or 71% to $8,828 or 34 cents
per share - basic and diluted.  Due to our cost  containment  initiatives  and a
business  environment  that appears to have  bottomed,  we anticipate  our third
quarter earnings to be in the range of 18 to 21 cents per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Net cash  provided  by  operating  activities  decreased  $6,966  or 17% to
$33,917 for the  six-month  period ended July 31, 2002,  compared to $40,883 for
the same  period  of the prior  year.  This  decrease  in net cash  provided  by
operating  activities  was primarily  due to: (i) a decrease in net income;  and
(ii) an  increase in accounts  receivable  during the six months  ended July 31,
2002  versus a decrease in the  comparable  period of the prior year (due to the
slowdown in business that occurred in the prior year). These changes,  resulting
in lower net cash provided by operating  activities,  were partially  offset by:
(i) a smaller decrease in accounts payable (due to the slowdown in business that
occurred in the prior year);  (ii) an increase in current taxes payable versus a
decrease  in the prior  year;  and (iii) a larger  decrease  in  inventory.  Our
inventory has decreased by more than $8,000 for the six-month  period ended July
31,  2002,  with over 50% of this  reduction  coming from the Power  Electronics
Division.

     Net cash used by investing activities decreased $13,797 or 82% to $2,949 in
the six months ended July 31, 2002 compared to $16,746 in the same period of the
prior year, primarily due to lower capital spending.

     Net cash used by financing  activities increased $20,227 or 178% to $31,585
in the first six  months of fiscal  2003  compared  to $11,358 in the prior year
This increase was due to an increase in debt payments coupled with less proceeds
from new  borrowings.  New  borrowings  for the first six months of fiscal  2002
related to a 22 million  British Pound Sterling line of credit,  the proceeds of
which were used to pay down debt denominated in U.S. Dollars.

     The  availability  under our  current  loan  agreements  is  expected to be
sufficient to meet our ongoing cash needs for working capital requirements, debt
service,  capital  expenditures  and  possible  strategic  acquisitions.   These
agreements  contain  restrictive  covenants that require us to maintain  minimum
ratios such as fixed charges  coverage and leverage  ratios,  as well as minimum
consolidated net worth. We were in compliance with our loan agreement  covenants
at July 31,  2002.  Capital  expenditures  during the first six months of fiscal
2003 were  incurred to fund, a  continuing  series of cost  reduction  programs,
normal  maintenance  and  regulatory  compliance.   Total  fiscal  2003  capital
expenditures are expected to be approximately $7,000 for similar purposes.

     On July 24,  2002 our Board of  Directors  terminated  the  previous  stock
buy-back   program   announced  in  February   2000,   after  having   purchased
approximately 852,000 shares of the authorized 1,000,000 shares at a total price
of approximately  $23,300.  At the same time, our Board of Directors announced a
new buy-back program for 1,000,000  shares. We intend to continue making prudent
purchases of our Company stock while paying down debt, and to selectively pursue
complementary acquisition prospects. Strategic acquisition opportunities will be
expected to enhance C&D's long-term  competitive  position and growth prospects,
and may require prudent external financing.  We cannot assure,  however, that we
will be able to make any such acquisitions.

     Our bank  loan  agreement  permits  quarterly  dividends  to be paid on our
Common  Stock as long as there is no default  under that  agreement.  Subject to
that  restriction  and the  provisions  of Delaware  law, our Board of Directors
currently intends to continue paying quarterly  dividends.  We cannot assure you
that we will  continue  to do so  since  future  dividends  will  depend  on our
earnings,  financial  condition and other factors.  During the second quarter of
fiscal 2002, quarterly dividends were declared twice, once in May for payment in
July and once in July for  payment in  October.  Therefore,  there will not be a
quarterly dividend declaration during the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The next
quarterly  dividend  declaration  is expected to occur in the fourth  quarter of
fiscal 2003.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     On  February  1,  2002,  we  adopted  SFAS No.  142,  "Goodwill  and  Other
Intangible Assets." This statement addresses financial  accounting and reporting
for acquired goodwill and other intangible  assets. As required by SFAS No. 142,
we discontinued  amortizing the remaining balance of goodwill. All remaining and
future acquired goodwill will be subject to an impairment test annually (or more
frequently if impairment  indicators arise), using a fair value-based  approach.
Other  intangible  assets will  continue to be  amortized  over their  estimated
useful lives and assessed for  impairment  under SFAS No. 144,  "Accounting  for
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses  financial
accounting  and reporting for the  impairment or disposal of long-lived  assets.
SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 and the accounting and reporting provisions
of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30.

     In conjunction with the  implementation  of SFAS No. 142, we have completed
the  transitional  goodwill  impairment  test as of  February  1,  2002 and have
determined that no impairment to goodwill existed. Net income and net income per
common share adjusted to exclude goodwill amortization is as follows:

     In  August  2001,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No.  143,  "Accounting  for Asset
Retirement  Obligations."  This  statement  addresses  financial  accounting and
reporting  requirements  for  obligations  associated  with  the  retirement  of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated  retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is
effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2002. We are currently in
the process of  evaluating  the impact  SFAS No. 143 will have on our  financial
position and results of operations, if any.

                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
                  (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


     In July  2002,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  146,  "Accounting  for  Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal  Activities,"  which addresses the recognition,
measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit or disposal activities,
and supersedes  Emerging  Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3,  "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity  (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)."  The principal
difference  between SFAS No. 146 and EITF No. 94-3  relates to the  requirements
for recognition of a liability for a disposal activity, (including those related
to employee  termination  benefits and obligations  under  operating  leases and
other  contracts),  be  recognized  when  the  liability  is  incurred,  and not
necessarily  the date of an entity's  commitment  to an exit plan, as under EITF
No.  94-3.  SFAS No. 146 also  establishes  that the  initial  measurement  of a
liability  recognized  under SFAS No. 146 be based on fair value. The provisions
of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated
after December 31, 2002, with early application  encouraged.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Certain of the  statements  and  information  contained  in this  Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q,  are  "forward-looking  statements"  (within the meaning of
Section 27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933 and  Section  21E of the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) and, accordingly,  are subject to risks and uncertainties.
For  such   statements,   we  claim  the  protection  of  the   safe-harbor  for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Act of
1995.  The factors that could cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from
anticipated  results  expressed  or  implied  in any  forward-looking  statement
include  those  referenced  in  the  forward-looking  statement,  following  the
forward-looking statement,  described in the notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements and other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and
our other  filings  with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no
obligation  to  update  or  revise  these   statements  to  reflect   events  or
circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

     Forward-looking  statements  may be  identified  by their use of words like
"plans," "expects," "will," "anticipates,"  "intends," "projects,"  "estimates,"
"believes"  or other  words of similar  meaning.  All  statements  that  address
expectations or projections  about the future,  including  statements  about our
strategy for growth,  product  development,  market  position,  expenditures and
financial results, are forward-looking  statements.  Forward-looking  statements
are based on certain  assumptions and  expectations of future events.  We cannot
guarantee  that these  assumptions  and  expectations  are  accurate  or will be
realized.  Following  are some of the  important  factors  that could  cause our
actual  results  to  differ   materially   from  those  projected  in  any  such
forward-looking statements:

o    We operate worldwide and derive a portion of our revenue from sales outside
     the United  States.  Changes in the laws or  policies of  governmental  and
     quasi-governmental  agencies, as well as social and economic conditions, in
     the  countries  in which we  operate  could  affect our  business  in these
     countries  and our results of  operations.  In addition,  economic  factors
     (including  inflation  and  fluctuations  in  interest  rates  and  foreign
     currency   exchange   rates)  and   competitive   factors  (such  as  price
     competition,  business combinations of competitors or a decline in industry
     sales from slowing  economic  growth)  both in the United  States and other
     countries  in which  we  conduct  business  could  affect  our  results  of
     operations.

o    Our  results  of  operations  could be  significantly  impacted  by adverse
     conditions in the domestic and global  economies or the markets in which we
     conduct business,  such as  telecommunications,  UPS, CATV,  switchgear and
     control and material handling.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS (continued)

o    Our ability to grow earnings  could be affected by increases in the cost of
     raw  materials,  particularly  lead. We may not be able to fully offset the
     effects  of  higher  raw  material   costs  through   price   increases  or
     productivity improvements.

o    Our ability to meet  customer  demand  depends,  in part, on our ability to
     obtain  timely  and  adequate  delivery  of parts and  components  from our
     suppliers  and internal  manufacturing  capacity.  Although we work closely
     with our suppliers to avoid  shortages,  there can be no assurance  that we
     will not encounter  shortages in the future. A reduction or interruption in
     component  supply  or a  significant  increase  in the price of one or more
     components could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

o    Our growth  objectives  are largely  dependent  on our ability to renew our
     pipeline  of new  products  and to bring  these  products  to market.  This
     ability  may be  adversely  affected by  difficulties  or delays in product
     development,  such as the  inability  to:  identify  viable  new  products;
     successfully  complete research and development  projects;  obtain adequate
     intellectual  property  protection;  or gain market  acceptance  of the new
     products. Our growth could also be affected by new competitive products and
     technologies.

o    As part of our strategy  for growth,  we have made and may continue to make
     acquisitions,  and in the future,  may make divestitures and form strategic
     alliances.  There can be no  assurance  that  these  will be  completed  or
     beneficial to us.

o    Our  facilities  are  subject to a broad  array of  environmental  laws and
     regulations.  The costs of complying  with complex  environmental  laws and
     regulations,  as well as internal voluntary  programs,  are significant and
     will continue to be so for the  foreseeable  future.  Our accruals for such
     costs and  liabilities may not be adequate since the estimates on which the
     accruals  are based depend on a number of factors  including  the nature of
     the problem,  the  complexity  of the site,  the nature of the remedy,  the
     outcome  of  discussions  with  regulatory   agencies  and  other  PRPs  at
     multiparty sites, and the number and financial viability of other PRPs.

o    We are exposed to the credit risk of some of our customers  including  risk
     of insolvency and bankruptcy. Although we have programs in place to monitor
     and  mitigate the  associated  risk,  there can be no  assurance  that such
     programs will be effective in reducing our credit risks.

o    Our  business,  results of  operations  and  financial  condition  could be
     affected by significant  pending and  future litigation adverse to us, such
     as, without limitation,  product liability, contract and employment-related
     claims  and  claims  arising  from any  injury or damage to  persons or the
     environment from hazardous substances used, generated or disposed of in the
     conduct of our business (or that of a predecessor to the  extent we are not
     indemnified for those liabilities).

o    Our  performance  depends on our  ability to attract  and retain  qualified
     personnel. We cannot assure that we will be able to continue to attract and
     retain qualified personnel.

     The  foregoing  list  of  important  factors  is  not   all-inclusive,   or
necessarily in order of importance.

Item 3.


Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk


     We are exposed to various market risks. The primary financial risks include
fluctuations in interest rates and changes in currency exchange rates. We manage
these  risks by using  derivative  instruments.  We do not invest in  derivative
securities for speculative  purposes,  but do enter into hedging arrangements in
order to reduce our  exposure to  fluctuations  in interest  rates as well as to
fluctuations in exchange rates.  Our financial  instruments  subject to interest
rate risk consist of debt instruments and interest rate swap contracts. The debt
instruments  are subject to variable  rate  interest,  and  therefore the market
value is not sensitive to interest rate movements.  Interest rate swap contracts
are used to  manage  our  exposure  to  fluctuations  in  interest  rates on our
underlying variable rate debt instruments.  Additional  disclosure regarding our
various  market  risks are set forth in our fiscal 2002 Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
