NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Dollars in thousands)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) have been included. Operating results
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1995. For further information, refer to
the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1994.
Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported
financial statements to conform to current classifications.
In accordance with quasi-reorganization accounting principles, the
Company elected to adjust its December 31, 1991 balance sheet to
fair value and transferred the accumulated deficit of $14,094 to
capital in excess of par.
Per share data for the periods are based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during such periods.
Outstanding common stock options have not been included in the
computation of earnings per share as their exercise would not have a
material dilutive effect.
Total interest paid for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
1994 was $1,466 and $1,628 respectively. The Company had net income
tax payments of $55 and $7 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 and 1994, respectively.
NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Effective September 30, 1994, the Company adopted a plan to dispose
of all of its Electronic Components business. The disposal has been
accounted for as a discontinued operation, and, accordingly, the
related net assets and operating results have been reported
separately from continuing operations. During 1995, the Company
sold the remaining product line of this business for $1,500. The
loss from operations of the discontinued Electronic Components
business in 1995 of $64 was charged to reserves established in the
prior year for anticipated operating losses until disposal.
NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES
Inventories have been determined generally by lower of cost (first-in,
first-out or average) or market. Inventories consist of:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1994
Net sales for the third quarter of 1995 were substantially the
same as the third quarter in 1994.
The Motion Control group's sales (motors, sensors and controls)
decreased in 1995 by $1.1 million, or 16%, as compared to 1994.
This decrease was primarily due to lower shipments of synchros ($.5
million), resulting from excess inventory at Government supply
depots, and from lower encoder sales ($.5 million), primarily due to
the timing of certain Government programs. Bookings were $4.7
million in the third quarter of 1995, a decrease of $.9 million, or
17%, compared to the comparable quarter in 1994, primarily due to
lower synchros orders. In general, the nature of the Motion Control
group's bookings results in an uneven pattern from quarter to
quarter and does not necessarily reflect overall business trends.
However, the conditions which resulted in lower synchros shipments
are expected to continue to impact bookings for the remainder of
1995. Backlog at September 30, 1995 was $13.3 million, compared to
$12.6 million at December 31, 1994.
The Industrial Components group's sales (bearings and connectors)
increased in 1995 by $1.0 million, or 11%, compared to 1994. Sales
of bearings were up by 16%, primarily due to new and increased
activity with original equipment manufacturers. Industrial
Component's bookings for the quarter were $10.4 million, an increase
of $1.9 million, or 23%, compared to 1994. This increase is
primarily in bearings and is due to increased OEM activity. Backlog
at September 30, 1995 was $11.7 million, compared to $10.4 million
at December 31, 1994.
Operating income was $.9 million in 1995, as compared to $1.0
million in 1994, representing a $.1 million decrease. Overall,
gross margin on sales was 24.5% in 1995, down from 28.1% in 1994.
This decrease was primarily due to lower gross margins resulting
from an unfavorable sales mix in both business groups ($.4 million)
and labor and overhead inefficiencies primarily in the Motion
Control group resulting from the lower sales volume ($.2 million).
These unfavorable variances were substantially offset by lower
selling, general and administrative expenses ($.5 million).
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $.5
million primarily due to the reversal of excess, one-time medical
and other insurance costs accrued in the first half of 1995 and the
reduction of certain profit sharing provisions accrued through the
third quarter of 1995.
9
Interest expense for the third quarter of 1995 was substantially
the same as the third quarter. The favorable impact of lower
average borrowings due primarily to the repurchase of the Company's
bank indebtedness at a discount in the third quarter of 1994 was
offset by higher interest rates.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the first nine months of 1995 increased by $2.9
million or 6%, compared to the same period in 1994.
The Motion Control group's sales (motors, sensors and controls)
decreased in 1995 by $.6 million, or 3%, as compared to 1994. This
decrease was primarily due to lower shipments of synchros ($1.2
million) resulting from excess inventory at Government supply depots
and lower resolver sales ($.7 million) due to shipment of certain
large orders in the first quarter of 1994. These lower shipments
were partially offset by higher electromagnetic sub-system sales
($.7 million) resulting from new product introductions which did not
begin to generate significant sales volume until the second half of
1994, and higher potentiometer sales ($.7 million) resulting from
greater operating efficiency due to changes in product line
management and the relocation of the product line from Deer Park,
New York to St. Petersburg, Florida during the first quarter of
1994. Bookings were $19.3 million in 1995, an increase of $2.1
million, or 12%, compared to 1994, primarily due to higher foreign
orders for industrial resolvers and higher motor orders resulting
from new Government programs awards. The nature of the Motion
Control group's bookings results in an uneven pattern from quarter
to quarter and does not necessarily reflect overall business trends.
The Industrial Components group's sales (bearings and connectors)
increased in 1995 by $3.5 million or 13%, compared to 1994. Sales
of bearings and connectors were up by 14% and 11%, respectively,
primarily due to new and increased activity with original equipment
manufacturers and the introduction of new and/or enhanced products.
Industrial Component's bookings were $32.0 million, an increase of
$4.1 million or 15%, compared to 1994. Both the increase in sales
and bookings reflect favorable economic conditions, new and
increased activity with OEM's and the introduction of new and/or
enhanced products.
Operating income was $3.0 million in 1995, as compared to $2.7
million in 1994, representing a $.3 million increase. This increase
was primarily due to the gross margin earned on the incremental
sales volume ($1.0 million) and cost reductions in the Motion
Control group resulting from restructuring actions completed during
1994 ($.6 million). These favorable variances were partially offset
by an unfavorable sales mix in both business groups ($.7 million),
higher raw material costs in the Industrial Components group ($.2
million) and higher selling, general and administrative expenses
($.2 million) . Overall, gross margin on sales was 26.6% in 1995,
down from 27.2% in 1994.
Interest expense declined by $.2 million in the first nine months
of 1995 as a result of lower average borrowings due primarily to the
repurchase of the Company's bank indebtedness at a discount in the
third quarter of 1994. This was partially offset by higher interest
rates.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company believes that its $17.5 million credit facility and
cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its
future capital expenditure and working capital requirements and
required debt amortization.
The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures
as of September 30, 1995.
