Note 4 - Segment Information

         The Company's  operations  are considered  one operating  segment.  The
Company’s  products  consist of new  machines,  aftermarket  and spare parts and
repair  related  services.  The  Company’s  products  and  services  are sold to
commercial   manufacturers   in  the   plastic   and  rubber   industries.   The
manufacturing,   assembly  and  distribution  of  the  Company’s   products  are
essentially the same.


                                  Page 6 of 14



Note 5 - Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

         In June  1998,  the FASB  issued  Statement  No.  133,  Accounting  for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which the Company was required to
adopt on January 1, 2001. The Statement  provides a new method of accounting for
derivatives  and  hedges.  The  adoption  of  this  Statement  did  not  have  a
significant effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

         The Company has entered into foreign exchange  forward  contracts which
are  designated  as  fair  value  hedges  of  accounts   receivable  and  future
receivables  related to customer  orders in backlog.  The Company,  from time to
time,  enters into foreign  exchange  forward  contracts  to hedge  certain firm
commitments  which  are  denominated  in  currencies  other  than the  Company’s
operating currencies.

         As of July 1, 2001, all of the Company’s  foreign exchange forward
contracts  were  designated  as fair value  hedges.  There  were no  ineffective
portions,  as defined under FAS133, during the six months ended July 1, 2001. As
such,  there were no charges to the statement of operations  during the three or
six months ended July 1, 2001, related to these contracts.  At July 1, 2001, the
difference  between the spot rate and the contract rate for the foreign exchange
forwards was a net unrealized gain of $114,000.

Note 6 - Restatement of Prior Year Balances

         Prior year  balances  have been restated to reflect the adoption of SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 (“Revenue Recognition”) and EITF00-10 (“Accounting
for  Shipping  and  Handling  Costs”).  The Company was  required to adopt these
accounting  guidelines  in the fourth  quarter of 2000.  The  adoption  required
restatement of prior periods.

Note 7 - Bank Credit Arrangements

         In June 2001, the Company  entered into a new worldwide  multi-currency
credit  facility  with a major US bank.  This  facility  includes a $10  million
revolving  credit  facility  for direct  borrowings  and letters of credit.  The
facility  contains a  sub-limit  that caps the amount of direct  borrowings  the
Company can make at $5 million.  The revolving  credit facility  expires on June
15, 2003. The facility  contains  limits on direct  borrowings and issuance's of
letters of credit based upon stipulated  percentages of accounts  receivable and
inventory.  The facility  also  contains  covenants  specifying  minimum  and/or
maximum thresholds for operating results, selected financial ratios and backlog.
The agreement contains certain  restrictions on investments,  borrowings and the
sale of assets.  The  Company's  old credit  facility was  terminated  except in
relation to approximately $2.2 million of letters of credit which had previously
been posted under that facility and continue to be  outstanding on July 1, 2001.
The Company has approximately $900,000 of letters of credit posted under its new
facility on July 1, 2001.

         The  Company  also  entered  into a term  loan for  £1.4  million
(approximately $2 million) as part of this credit facility. The proceeds of this
loan were used to repay an existing  term loan of the same amount.  The new term
loan is repayable in monthly  installments of  £38,888  through June 2004.
The term loan has an intent rate of LIBOR plus 2.7%.

PART I - ITEM 2 -
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Safe Harbor Statements Under Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

         Certain  statements   contained  in  the  Company’s  public  documents,
including this report and in particular,  in this  “Management’s  Discussion and
Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results of  Operations”  may be forward
looking  and may be  subject to a variety  of risks and  uncertainties.  Various
factors could cause actual results to differ  materially from these  statements.
These  factors  include,   but  are  not  limited  to,  pricing  pressures  from
competitors and/or customers;  continued  economic and political  uncertainty in
certain of the Company’s markets; the Company’s ability to maintain and increase
gross margin  levels;  the  Company’s  ability to generate  positive  cash flow;
changes  in  business  conditions,  in  general,  and,  in  particular,  in  the
businesses of the Company’s  customers and competitors;  and other factors which
might  be  described  from  time to  time  in the  Company’s  filings  with  the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations

Six  Months Ended July 1, 2001 Compared To The Six Months Ended July 2, 2000

         Net sales for the six month  period  ended  July 1,  2001,  were  $23.4
million compared to $26.8 million for the six month period ended July 2, 2000, a
decrease of $3.4  million.  The decrease is primarily a result of lower sales in
North  America of $6.8  million  partially  offset by an increase in new machine
sales in Europe.  The timing of the Company’s  sales,  particularly new machines
sales, is highly dependent on when an order is received, the amount of lead time
from  receipt of order to  delivery  and  specific  customer  requirements.  The
Company  operates  in markets  which are  extremely  competitive  with  cyclical
demand.  Many of the Company’s  customers and markets  operate at less than full
capacity and certain remain  particularly  competitive  and are subject to local
economic events.

         Orders received for the six month period ended July 1, 2001, were $23.0
million  compared to $33.7  million for the six month period ended July 2, 2000.
The decline in incoming  orders is due to weak  market  conditions  faced by the
Company.

         The Company’s  products are  primarily  supplied to  manufacturers  and
represent capital commitments for new plants, expansion or modernization. In the
case of major  equipment  orders,  up to 12 months are  required to complete the
manufacturing  process.  Accordingly,  revenues  reported  in the  statement  of
operations  may  represent  orders  received in the current or previous  periods
during which time economic conditions in various geographic markets of the world
impact the Company’s  level of order intake.  Many of the Company’s  traditional
customers and markets are operating with excess  capacity  thereby  reducing the
number of  projects  for plant  expansion  and  modernization.  The  Company  is
experiencing  increased pricing pressures from competitors in an overall smaller
market. In addition,  since its inception,  the decline in the value of the Euro
versus  the U.S.  dollar  and  British  pound  sterling  has  increased  pricing
pressures.  Over the longer term,  these  conditions  are  resulting in customer
orders with lower margins and lost  business.  Further,  the cyclical  nature of
industry  demand  and,  therefore,  the  timing of order  intake  may effect the
Company’s quarterly results of operations. The Company’s ability to maintain and
increase net sales depends upon a  strengthening  and stability in the Company’s
traditional  markets and its ability to control costs to effectively  compete in
its current markets.  There can be no assurance that the current level of orders
will continue,  that market  conditions will not worsen, or that improvements in
the  Company’s  traditional  markets  will  lead  to  increased  orders  for the
Company’s products.

         The level of backlog considered firm by management at July 1, 2001, was
$27.4 million  compared to $27.7 million at December 31, 2000, and $35.1 million
at July 2, 2000.


                                  Page 8 of 14



         Gross  margin for the six month  period  ended  July 1, 2001,  was $4.9
million  compared to $6.1 million for the six month period ended July 2, 2000, a
decrease of $1.2  million.  The  decrease  in gross  margin is a result of lower
sales.  The gross  margin as a percent of sales for the six month  period  ended
July 1, 2001, was 20.9% compared to 22.6% for the six month period ended July 2,
2000.  The decrease in gross margin as a percent of sales is primarily  due to a
change in sales mix  resulting  from  increased  new machine sales in Europe and
decreased sales in North America. The European new machine sales generated lower
gross profits  primarily due to pricing  pressures  resulting  from  competitive
market conditions and the relative weakness of the Euro versus the British pound
sterling.

         Operating  expenses for the six month  period ended July 1, 2001,  were
$6.7  million  compared to $8.4  million for the six month  period ended July 2,
2000, a decrease of $1.7 million  primarily due to lower  employee  compensation
and related  expenses of  approximately  $1.1 million,  travel  expenses of $0.3
million and advertising cost of $0.3 million.

         Interest  income  for the six month  period  ended  July 1,  2001,  was
$88,000  compared to $148,000  for the six month  period  ended July 2, 2000,  a
decrease of  $60,000.  The  decrease  is  primarily  due to lower  average  cash
balances available for investing and lower interest rates.

         Interest  expense  for the six month  period  ended July 1,  2001,  was
$78,000  compared to $144,000  for the six month  period  ended July 2, 2000,  a
decrease of $66,000. The decrease is primarily due to lower borrowings.

         The Company  provides for income taxes at the statutory rates in effect
in each tax  jurisdictions  in which  income  is  earned  or  losses  generated,
adjusted for permanent differences in determining income for financial reporting
and income tax purposes. The effective income tax rate was 36% for the six month
period  ended July 2, 2001,  compared to 33% for the six month period ended July
2, 2000.  The  effective  tax rate varies among periods due to the change in the
proportion  and  amount of income  and  losses  generated  in  different  taxing
jurisdictions.

 Three Months Ended July 1, 2001 Compared to The Three Months Ended July 2, 2000

         Net sales for the three months ended July 2, 2001,  were $12.4  million
compared  to $15.3  million  for the three month  period  ended July 2, 2000,  a
decrease of $2.9  million.  The decrease is primarily a result of lower sales in
North  America of $6.6  million  partially  offset by an increase in new machine
sales in Europe.

         Orders  received for the three month  period  ended July 1, 2001,  were
$13.4 million compared to $22.7 million for the three month period ended July 2,
2000.

         The Company’s  sales,  orders and backlog  levels varied when comparing
the two  quarters  due to market  conditions  and the nature of the  industry in
which the Company  operates as more fully discussed in the results of operations
for the six month period on page 8.

         Gross margin for the three month  period  ended July 1, 2001,  was $2.4
million  compared to $4.0 million for the three month period ended July 2, 2000,
a decrease of $1.6  million.  The  decrease in gross margin is a result of lower
sales.  The gross  margin as a percent of sales for the three month period ended
July 1, 2001,  was 19.6% compared to 26.2% for the three month period ended July
2, 2000. The decrease in the gross margin as a percent of sales is primarily due
to a change in sales mix  resulting  from  increased new machine sales in Europe
and decreased  sales in North America.  The European new machine sales generated
lower  gross  profits  primarily  due  to  pricing   pressures   resulting  from
competitive  market  conditions and the relative weakness of the Euro versus the
British pound sterling.

         Operating  expenses for the three month period ended July 2, 2001, were
$3.2  million  compared to $4.3 million for the three month period ended July 2,
2000,  a decrease  of $1.0  primarily  due to lower  employee  compensation  and
benefit  costs of  approximately  $0.6  million,  and lower travel  expenses and
advertising costs.


                                  Page 9 of 14



         Interest  income for the three  month  period  ended July 2, 2001,  was
$36,000 compared  to $63,000 for the three  month  period  ended July 1, 2000, a
decrease of $27,000. The decrease is primarily due to lower interest rates.

         Interest  expense for the three month periods  ended July 1, 2001,  and
July 2, 2000, was $36,000 and $72,000,  respectively.  The decrease is primarily
due to lower borrowings.

         The Company  provides for income taxes at the statutory rates in effect
in each tax  jurisdiction  in which  income is earned or losses  are  generated,
adjusted for permanent differences in determining income for financial reporting
and income tax  purposes.  The  effective  income tax rate was 36% for the three
month  periods  ended July 1, 2001,  compared to 43% for the three  months ended
July 2, 2000.  The  effective tax rate varies among periods due to the change in
the  proportion  and amount of income  and losses  generated  in  different  tax
jurisdictions.

Material Contingencies

         In February  1995, the Company and Black & Decker  Corporation  (“Black
and  Decker”)  entered  into a  Settlement  Agreement  pursuant to which Black &
Decker  agreed  to  assume  full   responsibility   for  the  investigation  and
remediation of any pre-May 12, 1986 environmental contamination at the Company’s
Ansonia  and Derby,  Connecticut  facilities,  as  required  by the  Connecticut
Department of  Environmental  Protection  (“DEP”).  A preliminary  environmental
assessment of the Company’s  properties  in Ansonia and Derby,  Connecticut  has
been  conducted  by Black &  Decker.  Although  the  assessment  is still  being
evaluated by the DEP, on the basis of the  preliminary  data now available there
is no reason to believe that any remediation  activities which might be required
as a result of the findings of the assessment  will have a material  effect upon
the capital  expenditures,  results of operations or the competitive position of
the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Capital Expenditures

         Working  capital  and the  working  capital  ratio at July 1, 2001 were
$13.7 million and 2.0 to 1, respectively, compared to $14.3 million and 1.9 to 1
at December  31, 2000,  respectively.  During the six months ended July 1, 2001,
the Company paid no dividends.

         Due to the nature of the Company's business,  many sales are of a large
dollar  amount.  Consequently,  the timing of recording such sales may cause the
balances in accounts  receivable  and/or  inventory  to  fluctuate  dramatically
between quarters and may result in significant  fluctuations in cash provided by
operations.  Historically,  the Company has not experienced significant problems
regarding the collection of accounts receivable.  The Company has also generally
financed its operations  with cash generated by  operations,  progress  payments
from  customers  and  borrowings  under its bank credit  facilities.  Management
anticipates  that its cash balances,  operating cash flows and available  credit
line will be  adequate  to fund  anticipated  capital  commitments  and  working
capital  requirements  for at least the next twelve  months.  The  Company  made
capital expenditures of $290,000 and $306,000 during the six month periods ended
July 1, 2001 and July 2, 2000, respectively.

         In June 2001, the Company  entered into a new worldwide  multi-currency
credit  facility  with a major US bank.  This  facility  includes a $10  million
revolving  credit  facility  for direct  borrowings  and letters of credit.  The
facility  contains a  sub-limit  that caps the amount of direct  borrowings  the
Company can make at $5 million.  The revolving  credit facility  expires on June
15, 2003. The facility  contains  limits on direct  borrowings and issuance's of
letters of credit based upon stipulated  percentages of accounts  receivable and
inventory.  The facility  also  contains  covenants  specifying  minimum  and/or
maximum thresholds for operating results, selected financial ratios and backlog.
The agreement contains certain  restrictions on investments,  borrowings and the
sale of assets.  Dividend declarations or payments are allowed under this credit
facility as long as there exists  under the credit  facility no Event of Default
(as defined in the credit facility) or no condition which, upon giving of notice
or lapse of time or both,  would become an Event of Default.  The  Company's old
credit facility was terminated except in relation to approximately  $2.2 million
of letters of credit which had  previously  been posted under that  facility and
continue to be


                                 Page 10 of 14



outstanding on July 1, 2001. The Company has  approximately  $900,000 of letters
of credit posted under its new facility on July 1, 2001.

         The  Company  also  entered  into a term  loan for  £1.4  million
(approximately $2 million) as part of this credit facility. The proceeds of this
loan were used to repay an existing  term loan of the same amount.  The new term
loan is repayable in monthly  installments of  £38,888  through July 2004.
The term  loan has an  interest  rate of LIBOR  plus  2.7%.  At July 1, 2001 and
December  31,  2000,  there were $2.0  million and $2.4  million,  respectively,
outstanding under a term loan.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

         In June  1998,  the FASB  issued  Statement  No.  133,  Accounting  for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which the Company was required to
adopt on January 1, 2001. The Statement  provides a new method of accounting for
derivatives  and  hedges.  The  adoption  of  this  Statement  did  not  have  a
significant effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Item 2 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign  currency
and interest rates. The Company manufactures many of its products and components
in the  United  Kingdom  and  purchases  many  components  in  foreign  markets.
Approximately  50% of the Company's  revenue is generated from foreign  markets.
The Company  manages its risk to foreign  currency  rate changes by  maintaining
foreign  currency bank  accounts in  currencies in which it regularly  transacts
business and the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company does not
enter into derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

         The Company's  cash  equivalents  and  short-term  investments  and its
outstanding debt bear variable  interest rates. The rates are adjusted to market
conditions.  Changes in  the market rate affect  interest earned and paid by the
Company. The Company does not use derivative  instruments to offset the exposure
to changes in interest  rates.  Changes in the interest  rates  related to these
items are not  expected to have a material  impact on the  Company's  results of
operations.
