4. Contingencies

The Company has claims against others, and there are claims by others
against it, in a variety of matters arising out of the conduct of the Company's
business. The ultimate resolution of all such claims would not, in the opinion
of management, have a material effect on the Company's financial position, cash
flows or results of operations.

5. Adoption of Accounting Principles

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are subject to annual impairment
tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue
to be amortized over their useful lives.

The Company has applied the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the
nonamortization provisions of the Statement is expected to result in a decrease

8




in net loss of approximately $660,000 per year. During the quarter ended June
30, 2002, the Company performed the first annual impairment evaluation and
determined that none of the recorded goodwill was impaired.

The Company has two reporting segments, Manufactured Products and Engineering
Services, goodwill was allocated to these segments as follows:

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

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

Net Sales: Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 decreased $13.7
million, or 26.9%, to $37.3 million from $51.0 million for the corresponding
period in 2001. The Engineering Services Segment's sales decreased $13.5 million
or 49.7% to $13.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $27.2 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. For the quarter ended June 30, 2002 the
Company had three larger projects with sales in excess of $1.0 million,
totalling $8.0 million in sales, compared to five such projects totalling $19.7
million in sales for the quarter

9



ended June 30, 2001. The Manufactured Products Segment's sales decreased $0.2
million, or 0.8%, primarily due to decreased capital equipment sales, partially
offset with increased fastener sales and sales of electronic componants.

Gross Profit: Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 decreased
$3.8 million, or 36.5%, to $6.8 million from $10.6 million for the corresponding
period in 2001. As a percentage of net sales, the gross profit decreased to
18.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from 20.8% for the corresponding
period in 2001. The decrease resulted from a reduction of margin on a larger
project within the Engineering Services Segment due to higher than anticipated
labor and equipment costs in the quarter ended June 2002 as well as higher
margins realized upon the completion of Engineering Services Segment projects
within the quarter ended June 2001.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses of the Company for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 of
$6.4 million was $0.2 million, or 3.0%, lower than the selling and
administrative expenses of $6.6 million for the corresponding period in 2001 due
to lower payroll related costs. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general
and administrative expenses increased from 12.9% for the quarter ended June 30,
2001 to 17.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 due to decreased sales.

Amortization Expense: Beginning January 1, 2002 the Company discontinued
the amortization of goodwill in accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 142 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill
amortization was $0.3 milion for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.

Interest Income: Interest income of the Company for the quarter ended June
30, 2002 of $0.1 million approximated interest income for the corresponding
period ended June 30, 2001.

Interest Expense: Interest expense of the Company for the quarter ended
June 30, 2002 of $2.4 million approximated interest expense for the
corresponding period in 2001.

(Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes: Benefit for income taxes of the
Company for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 of $0.8 million compared to an
income tax provision of $0.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The
decrease of $1.4 million was due to the loss before income taxes for the quarter
ended June 30, 2002.

Net (Loss) Income: The net loss for the Company for the quarter ended June
30, 2002 of $1.1 million was $1.9 million lower than the net income of $0.8
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 for the reasons discussed above. Net
loss as a percentage of net sales was 3.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002
compared to net income as a percentage of net sales of 1.6% for the
corresponding quarter in 2001.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

Net Sales: Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased $19.1
million, or 20.2%, to $75.5 million from $94.6 million for the corresponding
period in 2001. The Engineering Services Segment's sales decreased $19.2
million, or 40.7% from $47.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to
$28.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, due to the timing and size
of projects. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 the Company had six projects
with sales over $1.0 million, totalling $20.0 million in sales, compared to
eight such projects totalling $38.7 million in sales for the six months ended
June 30, 2001. The Manufactured Products Segment's sales increased $0.1 million
from $47.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $47.5 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to increased fastener and
electronic componant sales, partially offset with decreased sales of capital
equipment.

10



Gross Profit: Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased
$4.8 million, or 24.0%, to $15.1 million from $19.9 million for the
corresponding period in 2001. As a percentage of net sales, the gross profit
decreased to 20.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 21.0% for the
corresponding period in 2001. The decrease resulted from a reduction of margin
on larger projects within the Engineering Services Segment due to higher than
anticipated labor and equipment costs in the six months ended June 2002 as well
as higher margins realized upon the completion of Engineering Services Segment
projects within the six months ended June 2001. The Manufactured Products
Segment had a lower gross profit margin earned due to lower margins earned on
the sale of screens and screen cloths.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2002 of
$12.4 million were $0.1 million, or 0.9% higher than the selling, general and
administrative expenses for the corresponding period in 2001 mainly due to the
reversal of a provision on a loan receivable within the Engineering Services
Segment in 2001, partially offset with lower payroll related expenses in 2002.

Amortization Expense: Beginning January 1, 2002 the Company discontinued
the amortization of goodwill in accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 142 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill
amortization was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Interest Income: Interest income of the Company of $0.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 decreased $0.3 million or 54.8% from $0.5 million for
the corresponding period in 2001. The decrease was due to interest earned on a
note receivable within the Engineering Services Segement during 2001.

Interest Expense: Interest expense of the Company for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 of $4.7 million was $0.1 million or 2.4% lower than the interest
expense of $4.8 million for the corresponding period in 2001. This decrease was
due to decreased interest rates, partially offset with an increased debt level.

(Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes: Benefit for income taxes of the
Company for the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $0.7 million was $1.9 million
lower than the provision for income taxes of $1.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 due to the loss before taxes for the six month period ended
June 30, 2002.

Net (Loss) Income: The net loss for the Company for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 of $1.1 million compared to net income of $1.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 for the reasons discussed above. Net loss as a
percentage of net sales was 1.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared
to net income as a percentage of sales of 1.7% for the corresponding six month
period in 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
2002 of $5.5 million was used to decrease accounts payable and accrued expenses
and to increase prepaid expenses and other assets. These uses were partially
offset with cash generated by the net loss adjusted by non-cash charges and
decreased accounts receivable and inventory. Included in non-cash charges for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 was depreciation of $1.7 million and other
non-cash charges of $0.5 million, partially offset with pension overfunding
income of $0.6 million. Cash flows from operations for any specific period are
often materially affected by the timing and amounts of cash receipts and cash
disbursements related to engineering services projects.

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 of
$2.5 million of which $1.9 million was used for the construction of a plating
facility and $0.6 million was used for the Company's regular practice of
upgrading and maintaining its equipment base and facilities.

11



Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2002 of $8.0 million consisted of the issuance of $8.8 million of long-term debt
drawn on the Company's revolver loan and borrowings of $0.9 million on the
construction loan for the plating facility, partially offset by repayment of
long-term debt of $1.7 million.

The Company's liquidity requirements, both long term (over one year) and
short term, are for working capital, capital expenditures and debt service. The
primary source for meeting these needs has been funds provided by operations.
Although a net loss was reported for the six months ended June 30, 2002, the
company believes that funds provided from future operations and available
credit, should be adequate to meet its anticipated debt service requirements,
working capital needs and capital expenditures.

Backlog

The Company's backlog consists primarily of that portion of engineering
services contracts that have been awarded but not performed and also includes
open manufacturing orders. Backlog at June 30, 2002 was $44.9 million.
Approximately $9.4 million relates to the Manufactured Products Segment, with
the remainder of $35.5 million relating to the Engineering Services Segment. A
substantial majority of current backlog is expected to be realized in the next
twelve months.

Safe Harbor

Statements herein regarding the Company's ability to meet its liquidity
requirements, and the Company's expected realization of current backlog
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act
of 1933 and the Securities Act of 1934. Such statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected. Further, statements herein regarding the Company's
performance in future periods are subject to risks relating to, deterioration of
relationships with, or the loss of material customers or suppliers, possible
product liability claims, decreases in demand for the Company's products, and
adverse changes in general market and industry conditions. Management believes
these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should
not be placed on such forward-looking statements, which are based on current
expectations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company continues to use its reputation in the United States to expand
into international markets. In the six months ended June 30, 2002 approximately
14% of the Company's net sales were attributable to services provided or
products sold for use outside the United States, primarily to Puerto Rico,
Australia and Venezuela. A portion of these net sales and cost of sales is
derived from international operations which are conducted in foreign currencies.
Changes in the value of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar
could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of
operation and debt service capability. The majority of the Company's foreign
sales and costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. With respect to transactions
denominated in foreign currencies, the Company attempts to mitigate foreign
exchange risk by contractually shifting the burden of the risk of currency
fluctuations to the other party to the transactions. It has been the Company's
historic practice to conduct international sales in accordance with the
foregoing. There can be no assurance that the Company's strategies will ensure
that the Company will be fully protected from foreign exchange risk. Foreign
sales, particularly construction management projects undertaken at foreign
locations, are subject to various risks, including exposure to currency
fluctuations, political, religious and economic instability, local labor market
conditions, the imposition of foreign tariffs and other

12




trade barriers, and changes in governmental policies. There can be no assurance
that the Company's foreign operations, or expansion thereof, would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results
of operations and debt service capability.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings from
time to time in the ordinary course of its business. As of the date of this
filing, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are a party to any
lawsuit or proceeding which, individually or in the aggregate, in the opinion of
management, is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition, results of operation or cash flow of the Company.
