                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


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 September 30, 2003 and December 31,2002 and the
results of operations and changes in cash flows for the indicated periods.

The Company uses estimated gross profit rates to determine the cost of goods
sold during interim periods on a portion of its operations. Actual results could
differ from those estimates and will be adjusted, as necessary, following the
Company's annual physical inventory in the fourth quarter.

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.

2. The results of operations for the three and nine-month period ending
September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the year.

3. 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.

4. The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS


         Results for the third quarter were very disappointing. Although
economic conditions have improved in many sectors, manufacturing in general, and
our markets in particular, continue to be quite weak. The lack of capital
spending is reflected in our equipment segment revenues, which continue to trail
the prior year's anemic levels. Traditionally, third quarter revenues are
somewhat lower than other quarters due to the impact of vacation schedules at
our facilities as well as at those of our customers. Net sales and lease
revenues for the third quarter of 2003 amounted to $8,831,742, which is a
decline of 10.2% compared to the same period of 2002. For the third quarter of
2003, fastener segment revenues amounted to $7,130,290, which is a decline of
11.2% compared to the third quarter of 2002. Revenues within the assembly
equipment segment, for the third quarter of 2003, declined 5.7% compared to the
third quarter of 2002 and amounted to $1,701,452. On a year-to-date basis, 2003
revenues within the fastener segment totaled $23,423,470, a decline of 11.3%
compared with the first nine months of 2002, while revenues within the assembly
equipment segment amounted to $5,650,679, which is a decline of 10.5% compared
to the year earlier period.

         The overriding factor adversely affecting margins continues to be lower
volumes. In addition, fastener segment profitability during the third quarter of
2003 was negatively affected by higher costs for health insurance, certain
tooling costs and variable labor and fixed overhead costs that were not reduced
in proportion to the decline in sales. Third quarter margins within the assembly
equipment segment were also adversely affected by higher costs for health
insurance and slightly higher labor costs attributable to inefficiencies related
to lower volumes. In the near term, while we expect that costs for health
insurance and tooling will remain at, or near, current levels, during the fourth
quarter, further action has been taken to reduce labor costs through a reduction
in employment levels.

           Selling and administrative expenses for both the current quarter and
the first nine months of 2003 are lower than the corresponding periods in 2002
as higher costs for health insurance were more than offset by lower commission
expense and lower profit sharing expense.

         During the third quarter, the accounts receivable balance decreased,
compared with the second quarter, by approximately $346,000, primarily due to
the lower sales generated during the third quarter of 2003. Inventory levels
also declined during the quarter, reflecting successful efforts to adjust
inventories to the lower level of operations. At September 30, 2003, the balance
due on the term note was $282,760 and the effective interest rate was 1.9%. This
note is scheduled to be paid in full in December 2003. The Company also has a
$1.0 million line of credit available through Bank of America, NA. There is no
charge for this facility unless utilized. We believe that the Company's current
cash, cash equivalents and the available line of credit will be sufficient to
provide adequate working capital for the foreseeable future.

         Clearly, third quarter results were unsatisfactory. Our sales volume
was insufficient to cover our costs based upon the structure in place. We
continue to solicit new business and have enjoyed some recent success in the
fastener segment, but those gains have not fully offset the specific products
lost to design changes and to certain competitive situations. We anticipate that
we can continue to capture new specialty cold-headed parts in the coming
months, but we also recognize margins will remain under pressure as our
customers continue to take advantage of excess supply capacity in the industry
and press for additional price reductions. The market for assembly equipment
remains very soft, and we do not foresee any significant improvement in the near
term. Early in the fourth quarter, we began to make reductions in our workforce
and anticipate further reductions before year-end, as we adapt to what now
appears to be a smaller market for machinery and standard fasteners.

This discussion contains certain "forward-looking statements" which are
inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events to
differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors which may cause such
differences in events include, among other things, our ability to maintain our
relationships with our significant customers; increased global competition;
increases in the prices of, or limitations on the availability of, our primary
raw materials; or a downturn in the automotive industry, upon which we rely for
sales revenue, and which is cyclical and dependent on, among other things,
consumer spending, international economic conditions and regulations and
policies regarding international trade. Many of these factors are beyond our
ability to control or predict. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publish
revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the
date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET RISK

         Over time, the Company is exposed to market risks arising from changes
in interest rates. The Company has not historically used derivative financial
instruments. As of September 30, 2003, $282,760 of floating-rate debt was
exposed to changes in interest rates compared to $1,632,760 as of December 31,
2002. This exposure was primarily linked to the London Inter-Bank Offering Rate
and the lender's prime rate under the Company's term loan. A hypothetical 10%
change in these rates would not have had a material effect on the Company's
quarterly earnings.


                            CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

         (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's management, with
the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the
end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded
that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on
a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.

         (b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any
changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term
is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the
fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over
financial reporting.
