NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------------------------------
1. Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the nine months ended March 31, 1995, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending June 30, 1995. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in
the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders.
The June 30, 1994 condensed balance sheet data was
derived from audited financial statements, but does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles.
2. Earnings Per Common Share
-------------------------
Primary earnings per common share are computed by
dividing net income (less preferred dividends net of tax
benefits) by the weighted average number of common shares
and common share equivalents outstanding during the period.

<PAGE>
3. Inventories, continued
-----------
The current cost of LIFO-valued inventories was $196.6
million at March 31, 1995 and $165.8 million at June 30,
1994. Reductions in LIFO-valued inventories resulted in an
increase in net income of approximately $5.5 million or $.68
per share and $9.1 million or $1.13 per share for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 1994, respectively. There
were no LIFO accounting effects in the current fiscal year.
4. Acquisition of Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
----------------------------------------
On July 22, 1994, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding shares of Certech, Inc., and an affiliated
company, for $16.7 million, including acquisition costs,
comprised of $13.5 million in cash and 53,124 shares of
treasury common stock. Certech manufactures a broad line of
complex injection molded ceramics parts.
The acquisition has been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase
price has been allocated to the assets purchased and the
liabilities assumed based upon the preliminary estimated
fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of
purchase price over the preliminary estimated fair values of
the net assets acquired was approximately $10 million and
has been recorded as intangible assets and goodwill, and is
included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
As previously reported, on July 28, 1993, the Company
acquired all of the outstanding shares of Aceros Fortuna,
S.A. de C.V., a Mexican steel distribution company, and two
affiliated companies.
The operating results of these acquired businesses have
been included in the Consolidated Statement of Income from
the dates of acquisition. On the basis of a pro forma
combination of the results of operations as if the
acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of fiscal
1994, combined net sales would have been approximately $542
million for the nine months ended March 31, 1995, and $184
million and $470 million for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 1994, respectively. Combined pro forma net income
and earnings per share would not have been materially
different from the reported amounts for both periods. Such
pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of what the
actual combined results of operations might have been if the
acquisitions had been effective at the beginning of fiscal
1994.
<PAGE>
5. Debt Arrangements
-----------------
During the nine months ended March 31, 1995, the
Company issued $50.0 million of medium-term debt securities
with a 7.68% average interest rate under a Form S-3
registration statement ("Shelf Registration") on file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The proceeds were
used to retire borrowings under credit arrangements.
6. Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments
----------------------------------------
The functional currency for the majority of the
Company's international operations is the local currency,
and, accordingly, the respective assets and liabilities are
translated at end of period exchange rates, while the income
and expense components are translated at average exchange
rates prevailing during the period. The resulting
translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate
section of Shareholders' Equity on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 1995,
the value of the Mexican peso fell versus that of the U.S.
dollar. As a result of this devaluation, the Company
recorded a reduction to shareholders' equity of $3.8 million
and $8.6 million for the three and nine months, respec-
tively, related to Aceros Fortuna, the Company's Mexican
steel distributor acquired on July 28, 1993.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
----------------------------------------------------------
Third Quarter Results:
- ---------------------
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 was $15.4
million versus $12.8 million in the same quarter last year. Last
year's results included an extraordinary charge of $2.0 million
after tax ($.25 per share) for the early extinguishment of high
interest cost debt. Earnings per share were $1.82 compared with
$1.54 before the extraordinary charge for the same period a year
ago. The improved results were primarily due to higher sales
volume coupled with increased selling prices and the inclusion of
Certech, Inc., acquired in July 1994.
Sales were $211.6 million, a 21 percent increase over the
$174.3 million last year. The increase in sales was primarily a
result of 6 percent higher Steel Division shipment levels,
chiefly of stainless bar and wire products to automotive and
equipment applications, and a resurgence of sales to aerospace
related manufacturers. In addition, the Company has recently
implemented selling price increases to offset increasing labor
and supply costs and has instituted surcharges to offset sharply
rising raw material costs. Sales were also higher because of the
inclusion of the sales of Certech, Inc.
<PAGE>
Cost of sales as a percent of net sales was 73 percent and
71 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and 1994,
respectively. This year's third quarter was favorably impacted
by higher production efficiencies due to increased capacity
utilization. Last year's third quarter included the favorable
impact of lower inventory levels and the use of the LIFO
inventory valuation method which reduced costs by $8.6 million
before taxes, or $.68 per share after taxes. There were no LIFO
accounting effects in the current fiscal quarter.
Walsin-CarTech Specialty Steel Corporation, a joint venture
with Walsin Lihwa Corporation in the Republic of China (Taiwan),
became operational during the March 1995 quarter. Year-to-year
earnings comparisons were unfavorably impacted by the amortiza-
tion of the startup costs and the discontinuation of capitalizing
interest related to the investment in this venture.
Nine Month Results:
- ------------------
Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 was
$30.1 million, compared with $23.0 million before an
extraordinary charge of $2.0 million after tax ($.25 per share)
for the same period last year. Earnings per share were $3.53
compared with $2.70 before the extraordinary charge for the same
period a year ago. The improved results were primarily due to
higher sales volume and production efficiencies due to increased
capacity utilization at the Steel Division. Additionally,
earnings last year were adversely affected by a one-time charge
of $1.5 million or $.19 per share, to increase net deferred tax
liabilities for a change in the U.S. corporate income tax rate.
Sales were $540.1 million, a 20 percent increase from $450.9
million last year. This increase was primarily due to a 10
percent increase in Steel Division unit volume shipments, higher
selling prices resulting from price increases to offset higher
labor and supply costs, surcharges to offset sharply rising raw
material costs, and the inclusion of the results of Certech, Inc.
and Aceros Fortuna S.A. de C.V., which were acquired on July 22,
1994 and July 28, 1993, respectively.
Cost of sales increased to 75 percent of net sales in the
current fiscal year versus 73 percent for the same period last
year. Last year's cost of sales was favorably impacted by an
inventory reduction program and the use of the LIFO inventory
valuation method which reduced costs by $14.4 million before
taxes, or $1.13 per share for the nine month period. There were
no LIFO accounting effects in the current fiscal year. Excluding
the LIFO effects, cost of sales as a percent of net sales
decreased slightly due to production efficiencies resulting from
increased Steel Division capacity utilization. These positive
effects were partially offset by higher raw material costs.
<PAGE>
Interest costs decreased by $2.6 million for the first nine
months of this fiscal year compared to the same period last year.
This decrease was primarily the result of replacing high interest
cost debt with lower interest cost borrowings in the March 1994
quarter.
