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

Sales were a record $104 million in the second quarter 1996, a 7% improvement
over the $97 million in sales generated in the second quarter 1995. Strong
domestic demand for Alloy and Specialty System Products in the
telecommunications and consumer products markets fueled the increase.
International sales of $24 million were only 23% of total sales in the current
quarter as compared to $37 million, or 38% of total second quarter 1995 sales.
Weaker demand in key markets, coupled with the stronger dollar, caused the
decrease in international sales.

Worldwide sales of Alloy Products increased in the second quarter of 1996 over
the second quarter 1995. Domestic sales of bulk products, which are used in the
aerospace, welding, plastic tooling and consumer products industries, increased
significantly as a result of customers substituting the Company's higher
performing alloys into their existing applications. Domestic sales of precision
strip, used primarily in the telecommunications, automotive and computer
markets, were slightly higher in the current quarter versus the prior year
quarter. International sales of Alloy Products declined from the prior year due
to increased competition from alternative metals and poor economic conditions in
various markets served. Sales declines have been experienced in portions of
Western Europe and the Pacific rim. The stronger dollar had an unfavorable
comparative impact on the translated value of foreign currency sales as well.
The pass-through effect of lower commodity costs, primarily copper, negatively
impacted sales as compared to the year ago period.

Beryllium Products sales were slightly less in the second quarter 1996 than the
second quarter 1995. Equipment is scheduled to be placed in service in the third
quarter that is designed to 

                                       6
<PAGE>   8

lower the production costs and increase the capacity of E material and
AlBeMet(R) products used in avionics and related electronic packaging
applications.

The Company is vigorously pursuing its legal rights to have injurious unfair
trade practice addressed by the appropriate enforcement authorities. Brush
Wellman filed an anti-dumping petition with the U.S. Department of Commerce,
International Trade Administration and the U.S. International Trade Commission
on March 14, 1996, alleging that imports of beryllium metal and high-beryllium
alloys from Kazakhstan are being sold at less than fair value and are causing
material injury to a domestic industry. In April, the U.S. Department of
Commerce initiated an investigation and the International Trade Commission
rendered a preliminary affirmative determination that there is a reasonable
indication that imported beryllium from Kazakhstan caused material injury to the
U.S. beryllium industry. The Commerce Department is now investigating whether
the imported materials have been dumped -- sold at less than fair value. A
preliminary determination is expected from the Commerce Department by late
summer. Final decisions could be issued as early as the end of 1996.

Ceramic sales declined in the second quarter 1996 as compared to the year ago
period. Sales into the telecommunications market suffered as several key
customers experienced delays on shipments of their products. Direct bond copper
sales are flat with the prior year.

Specialty Metal Systems continued to perform well as sales in the quarter
improved over the comparable period last year. Inlay/reroll, plating and cerdip
products all showed increases. Telecommunications and automotive are key markets
for these products. Overseas opportunities for these products continue to
increase as well.

Sales of Precious Metal Products were lower in the second quarter 1996 as
compared to last year as a result of a customer's re-design of a major
microprocessor application to an

                                       7

<PAGE>   9

alternative material in May 1995. Beginning with the third quarter 1996,
quarterly comparisons of Precious Metal Products will be based on the same
product mix. Continued development of new products and applications,
particularly vapor deposition targets and fine wire, have served to offset a
large portion of these lost sales.

Gross profit of $31.7 million or 30% of sales in the second quarter 1996 rose
from $27.2 million or 28% of sales in the second quarter 1995. A favorable sales
mix caused by an increase in sales of certain higher margin Alloy Products
contributed to the improvement as did productivity gains and operating
efficiencies generated at the Company's larger facilities.

Sales for the first half of 1996 were $198 million, a slight improvement over
1995. Increased sales of Alloy Products and Special Metal Systems offset lower
sales of other products. International sales were also down in 1996, accounting
for 26% of total sales as compared to 37% of sales in 1995. Gross margin
improved slightly to 28.5% from 27.8%. The factors affecting the second quarter
margins also apply to the first half results.

Selling, administrative and general expenses were $16.9 million or 16% of sales
in the second quarter 1996 compared to $15.8 million or 16% of sales in the
second quarter 1995. Year-to- date expenses were $32.4 million in 1996 and $31.3
million in 1995. Expenses in both years were 16% of sales. A portion of the
increase is attributable to the cost of a reorganized function responsible for
the sales and production planning and control and distribution of inventory. The
incentive compensation accrual was larger in 1996 than last year.

Research and Development (R&D) expenses were $2.4 million in the second quarter
1996 versus $2.0 million in the second quarter 1995. For the first half of 1996,
R&D expenses were $4.2 million, or 2.1% of sales, a $0.3 million increase over
the first half 1995. The increase is


                                       8
<PAGE>   10

primarily due to development work on lower cost, higher quality copper alloys
and the higher manpower costs from an internal reorganization.

Other net income was $0.3 million in the second quarter 1996 versus other net
expense of $0.1 million in the comparable period last year. For the year, other
net income was $0.5 million in 1996 compared to an other net expense of $0.4
million in 1995. An increase in foreign currency hedge gains is the major
difference.

Second quarter 1996 interest expense was flat with the second quarter 1995.
Overall debt levels have not changed significantly between the periods.
Year-to-date interest is slightly lower in 1996 than 1995.

Income before income taxes was $12.3 million in the second quarter 1996, a
substantial improvement over the $9.1 million earned in the comparable period
last year. The contribution from the record sales and an improvement in margins
more than offset the increase in expenses. Income taxes were provided for at
33.6% of pre-tax income in the second quarter and 32.2% for the first half 1996.
For the first half 1995, a rate of 26.4% was employed. Higher earnings, an
increase in the effective foreign tax rates and a decrease in various book
versus tax adjustments contributed to the difference. Earnings per share were
$0.51 for the second quarter and $0.83 for the first half 1996 compared to $0.40
and $0.82 in the respective periods in 1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Net cash provided from operating activities was $16 million during the first
half 1996 as compared to $18 million in the first half 1995.

Accounts receivable increased $13 million, or 25%, since December 1995,
resulting from significantly higher sales in May and June 1996 as compared to
the last several months of 1995. The average collection period has improved
slightly.

Inventories have remained flat during the year despite the sales increase due,
in part, to favorable valuation adjustments.

Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment amounted to $12 million
during the first half of 1996. In April 1996, the Company announced plans to
spend on the order of $110 million to modernize its Alloy manufacturing
operations. It is anticipated that the funds will be expended over three years.
Pre-engineering and vendor qualification work is underway. The project may be
funded by a combination of debt, leases and cash flow. In August 1996, the
Company announced plans to produce a family of specialty alloys in rod, bar and
tube form at a new facility. It is anticipated that the facility, including
working capital, will cost in excess of $10 million and be completed in
mid-1997. Funds were also expended this year on the new rod mill for the Elmore,
Ohio facility and a plating line at the Lincoln, Rhode Island facility.

The Company purchased 359,000 shares of its Common Stock at a cost of $6.7
million during 1996 under a program authorized by the Board of Directors late
last year. Dividends paid were $4.8 million for the first half 1996.


                                       10
<PAGE>   12

Total debt decreased $1.8 million since year-end 1995 as foreign currency
borrowings used to hedge foreign currency denominated assets declined. Long-term
debt was 7% of total capital at the end of the second quarter 1996 as compared
to 8% at year-end 1995.

                  -------------------------

         RECENT DEVELOPMENTS RELATING TO PENDING CLAIMS SINCE THE END OF FIRST
         ---------------------------------------------------------------------
QUARTER 1996. 
- ------------

          The Company and certain of its present and past Directors were 
defendants in a class action suit filed on April 2, 1996 in the Court of Common
Pleas for Cuyahoga County, Ohio, by Christine A. Toth, a former employee of the
Company, and her husband on behalf of a putative class of all current and
former employees of the Company from 1949 to date of the suit. This claim was
disclosed in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 29, 1996. The plaintiffs claimed, INTER ALIA, that defendants committed
an intentional tort by misleading the Company's employees and the public about
the efficacy and adequacy of the standard adopted by the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) with respect to exposure to airborne beryllium
to protect employees from chronic beryllium disease and by making
misrepresentations to employees and the public about the risks of such exposure
in the work place. Plaintiffs also alleged that defendants have deliberately
withheld or concealed material information about the effects of such exposure
to airborne beryllium. Plaintiffs sought compensatory damages in the amount of
$100 million and punitive damages in the amount of $200 million together with
certain injunctive relief. On July 12, 1996, the Court granted the Company's
motion to dismiss the complaint. The time limit for filing an appeal from the   
Court's judgment has not yet expired.

         In August 1993, the Company had notified the State Compensation Fund, a
workers' compensation fund in the State of Arizona, of the filing of employee
suits and had requested that the State Compensation Fund defend such suits
pursuant to the Company's State Compensation Fund policies. The State
Compensation Fund had denied coverage and 

                                       12
<PAGE>   14

defense of such suits, but after discussion, had indicated that it would defend
some of the employee lawsuits under a reservation of rights. The State
Compensation Fund had filed suit against the Company and certain of its
employees in the Supreme Court of Pima County, Arizona, for which service of
process on the Company occurred on August 21, 1995. This claim was disclosed in
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
In view of the dispute with respect to defense and indemnity, the State
Compensation Fund had filed a declaratory judgment action. The Company had filed
an answer and counterclaim. On May 13, 1996, the Court entered an order granting
the State Compensation Fund's two motions for partial summary judgment, which
had sought a declaration of no duty to defend or indemnify the Company against
claims for breach of contract and claims for intentional tort. These rulings did
not completely dispose of the State Compensation Fund's claims, and did not
address the Company's counterclaim. Defense of this case is being conducted by
counsel retained by the Company.

         CLAIMS INITIATED SINCE THE END OF FIRST QUARTER 1996. As previously
reported in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1995, the Company and certain of its employees are defendants in separate
suits filed by Company employees and their spouses against the Company and
certain Company employees in the Superior Court of Pima County, Arizona. The
plaintiffs claim that during their employment with the Company they contracted
chronic beryllium disease as a result of exposure to beryllium and
beryllium-containing products. The plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive
damages of an unspecified amount based on allegations that the Company
intentionally misrepresented the potential danger of exposure to beryllium and
breached an agreement to pay certain benefits in the event the plaintiffs
contracted chronic beryllium disease. On July 5, 1996, Rudy Gamez, an employee
of the Company, filed a suit against the Company in the Superior Court of Pima
County, Arizona, based on similar claims and seeking similar relief. Defense of
these cases is


                                       13
<PAGE>   15

being conducted by counsel retained by the Company. The Company believes that
resolution of these cases will not have a material effect on the Company.

         In two cases brought by the Company's current employees and filed in
the Court of Common Pleas for Cuyahoga County, Ohio, on August 1, 1995 and
November 1, 1995 respectively, the employees have alleged that they contracted
chronic beryllium disease as a result of exposure to beryllium or beryllium
dust. The complaints include claims by the employees for employer intentional
tort, fraud and misrepresentation and claims by family members for loss of
consortium. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages in excess of $25,000 and
punitive damages in excess of $25,000. These complaints were disclosed in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. On
July 12, 1996, Belve Damron, an employee of the Company, and his spouse,
Annabelle Damron, have filed a suit against the Company in the Court of Common
Pleas for Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The claims in this third case are similar to
the claims in the two earlier cases, and similar relief is sought. The defense
of these cases is being conducted by counsel selected by the Company, and
retained by the Company and by the Company's insurance carriers, with certain
reservation of rights. A motion to dismiss the complaint in the first case was
granted in part and denied in part on January 18, 1996. Plaintiffs then filed an
amended complaint. The Company's motion to dismiss this amended complaint was
denied on April 26, 1996. The Company's motion to dismiss an amended complaint
in the second case was denied on July 15, 1996. The Company has not yet filed a
response to the complaint in the third case. The Company continues to believe
that resolution of these cases will not have a material effect on the Company.
