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 June 30, 2008 (unaudited) and December 31, 2007 (audited) and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the indicated periods.

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.

Certain items in 2007 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in 2008. These changes have no effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

2. The results of operations for the three and six-month period ending June 30, 2008 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, including environmental claims and contract disputes, 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.

5. The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). While it may be possible that a reduction could occur with respect to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as an outcome of an IRS examination, management does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. The 2004 federal income tax return was examined by the IRS and no adjustments were made as a result of the examination.

No statutes have been extended on any of the Company’s federal income tax filings. The statute of limitations on the Company’s 2005, 2006 and 2007 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

The Company’s state income tax returns for the 2005 through 2007 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2011. The Company is currently not under examination by any state authority for income tax purposes and no statutes for state income tax filings have been extended.

6. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method. A summary of inventories is as follows:

		June 30, 2008				December 31, 2007

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

          Results for the second quarter of 2008, as well as those of the current year to date, continued to be negatively impacted by the decline in domestic automotive production and sales compared to the year earlier period, as well as the recent slowdown in the U.S. economy. Net sales declined $2,083,308 during the second quarter, compared to the year earlier quarter, bringing the year to date sales decline to $3,616,558. Although expenses were reduced during the quarter, cost reductions were not sufficient to offset the effects of the decline in sales. The net result was a net loss of $19,412, or $0.02 per share, in the second quarter of 2008 compared to net income of $523,399, or $0.54 per share, in 2007. For the first half of the year, net income was $8,251, or $0.01 per share, compared to $833,671, or $0.86 per share, in 2007.

          Fastener segment revenues declined by $1,821,225, or 20.6%, during the second quarter from $8,860,781 in 2007 to $7,039,556 in 2008. For the first six months of the year, fastener segment revenues have declined by $3,220,469, or 18.3%, from $17,586,152 to $14,365,683. The decline in sales for the fastener segment is primarily due to the reduction in domestic automotive production. The slowdown in the U.S. economy is causing reduced demand among our non-automotive customers as well. Along with the drop in demand, we have seen a dramatic increase in the cost of many items we purchase, most notably steel and natural gas. While the price of steel has risen dramatically in recent months, our overall raw material costs are down due to the reduction in production activity. However, the increase in materials prices results in raw materials accounting for a larger percentage of cost of sales compared to last year. In addition to natural gas, which has increased by $35,000 in the current year, the only significant increase in overhead during 2008 is tooling expense, which has increased $29,000 during the second quarter and $105,000 for the first half of the year as certain design work was performed in an attempt to improve production efficiency. The closing of the Jefferson, Iowa plant in 2007 resulted in approximately $53,000 in overhead cost reductions during the second quarter of 2008 and $109,000 for the year to date, compared to the same periods of 2007. The net result of these factors was a $789,000 reduction in fastener segment gross margin during the second quarter and a $1,311,000 reduction in the year to date amount.

          Revenues within the assembly equipment segment totaled $1,007,456 in the second quarter of 2008, a decline of $262,083, or 20.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2007, when revenues were $1,269,539. While manufacturing costs declined due to the lower level of production activity, the reduction was not sufficient to offset the lower volume, resulting in a $166,000 decline in gross margin, to $296,000, compared to the second quarter of 2007. For the first six months of 2008, revenues in this segment amounted to $2,095,655, a decline of $396,089, or 15.9%, compared to the first six months of 2007. As with second quarter results, the reduction in production related expenses did not keep pace with the decline in revenues on a year to date basis, resulting in a gross margin of approximately $632,000 compared to $858,000 last year.

          Selling and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2008 were approximately $137,000 lower than during the second quarter of 2007. Payroll and payroll related expenses account for approximately $50,000 of the decline, as a result of headcount reductions since the second quarter of last year. Commissions have declined $52,000 due to the lower sales activity in the current year quarter, while profit sharing expense has declined $46,000 due to the lower level of profitability. On a year to date basis, selling and administrative expenses have declined $255,000 compared to the first six months of 2007. The largest components of the year to date decline, for the reasons stated above, are salaries and wages, which declined by $93,000, and commissions and profit sharing expense which declined by $91,000 and $86,000, respectively.

          Working capital at June 30, 2008 amounted to $16.3 million, a reduction of $.2 million from the beginning of the year. The working capital component with the greatest change is inventories, which has increased $.5 million since the beginning of the year primarily due to rising raw material prices and an increase in quantities to offset further expected increases. Accounts receivables have declined primarily due to the lower sales at the end of the second quarter compared to the end of the year, while prepaid income taxes has been eliminated due to the receipt of a federal tax refund since the beginning of the year. Changes in current liabilities reflect normal seasonal patterns, except for the decline in accrued profit sharing which relates to lower profits in the current year. The net result of these changes and other cash flow items on cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit was a decrease of $.2 million, to $7.4 million, as of June 30, 2008.

          The Company has a $1.0 million line of credit, which expires May 31, 2009. This line of credit remains unused. Management believes that current cash, cash equivalents, operating cash flow and the available line of credit will provide adequate working capital for the foreseeable future.

          The decline in revenues in the second quarter and year to date reflects the continued drop in production activity in our primary markets. Fastener segment sales in the second quarter trailed the year earlier period, and marked the fourth straight sequential quarterly decline. These declines coincide with reduced domestic automotive production upon which we rely for revenues. The recent slowdown in the U.S. economy has further exacerbated this situation and has resulted in declining demand in non-automotive markets. The assembly equipment segment, while not as reliant on the automotive sector for revenues, has been hurt by the overall decline in domestic manufacturing activity. Predicting future demand in our markets is difficult and that uncertainty will keep us cautious in the near-term. In response to these difficult market conditions, we will continue to make adjustments to our activities while continuing to produce products with unsurpassed quality with an emphasis on excellent customer service.

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, those disclosed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the other filings we make with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors, include among other things: conditions in the domestic automotive industry, upon which we rely for sales revenue, the intense competition in our markets, the concentration of our sales to two major customers, the price and availability of raw materials, labor relations issues, losses related to product liability, warranty and recall claims, costs relating to environmental laws and regulations, the loss of the services of our key employees and difficulties in achieving expected cost savings. 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.
