                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 three months ended September 30, 1995 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
     for the year ending June 30, 1996.  For further information,
     refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
     included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  

          The June 30, 1995 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. 
     On a fully-diluted basis, both net earnings and shares
     outstanding are adjusted to assume the conversion of the
     convertible preferred stock.

 4.  Two-For-One Common Stock Split
     ------------------------------
          On August 10, 1995, the Board of Directors of the
     Company declared a two-for-one common stock split which was
     distributed on September 15, 1995, to shareholders of record
     on September 1, 1995.  The par value of common shares
     remained at $5 per share.  All share and per share data for
     the prior year have been restated for the effect of this
     two-for-one common stock split.  The Board also declared a
     ten percent increase in the common stock dividend, effective
     with the quarterly dividend to shareholders of record on
     August 22, 1995.

 5.  Subsequent Events
     -----------------
          On October 26, 1995, the Company purchased all of the
     stock of Parmatech Corporation in exchange for $4.5 million
     of Company stock and assumed $2.7 million of Parmatech's debt.  
     An additional $1.5 million of Company stock will be paid if 
     certain future performance is achieved. Parmatech manufactures 
     complex, net or near-net shape parts from a powder metal slurry 
     using an injection molding process.  Parmatech had sales of 
     $6.5 million in calendar year 1994.  
     
          On November 9, 1995, the Company acquired Green Bay Supply 
     Co., Inc. for approximately $11 million.  Green Bay is a master 
     distributor that purchases specialty metal products globally and 
     resells them to independent distributors in the United States.  
     Green Bay was profitable on sales of $16 million in calendar year 
     1994.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
        -----------------------------------------------------------

     Net income for the quarter was $11.9 million or $.70 per share versus 
$4.9 million or $.28 per share in the same quarter last year.  The 
increase in earnings was primarily a result of improved sales volume 
and profit margins in the Steel Division.

     Sales were $184.5 million, an 18 percent increase over the $156.1 
million in the same period last year.  The increase in sales was primarily 
the result of selling price increases for steel products to recover higher 
raw material and other costs and to restore profit margins which had eroded 
in prior years.  In addition, Steel Division unit volume shipments were up 
by 6 percent compared to the year earlier period.

     Cost of sales as a percent of net sales decreased to 74 percent in the 
current year's first fiscal quarter from 78 percent in the last year's first 
quarter.  This improvement was primarily the result of the selling price 
increases and a higher plant utilization rate in the Steel Division.

     Interest costs increased by $1.9 million versus the same period last 
year.  The increase was the result of higher debt levels during the 
September 1995 quarter and a lower level of capitalized interest.  The 
September 1994 quarter included $1.0 million of capitalized interest 
related to the investment in Walsin-CarTech Specialty Steel Corporation, a 
joint venture with Walsin Lihwa Corporation, during its pre-operating period 
which ended in December 1994.

              CARPENTER TECHNOLOGY CONTINUES GROWTH STRATEGY 
               BY ACQUIRING METAL INJECTION MOLDING COMPANY

     Reading, PA (October 26, 1995) -- Carpenter Technology Corporation
(NYSE:CRS) acquired Parmatech Corporation, a privately-held company in 
California that manufactures parts by the metal injection molding process, 
today.  

     Carpenter acquired 100 percent of the stock of Parmatech in exchange 
for $4.5 million of Carpenter stock and assumption of Parmatech's debt of 
$2.7 million.  An additional $1.5 million of Carpenter stock would be paid 
if certain future performance is achieved.

     Parmatech, a 22-year old company in Petaluma, California, had sales of
$6.5 million in calendar year 1994.  It manufactures complex, net or near-net 
shaped parts from a powder metal slurry, using molding technology similar to 
the technology used by Carpenter's new structural ceramics businesses.  Molded 
materials include stainless steels, cobalt iron alloys, alloy steels and 
ceramics.  
     
     Parmatech employs 90 people in its headquarters and manufacturing 
facility outside of San Francisco.  It had been solely owned by Karl Zueger, 
62, one of four original partners who established the business in 1973. 
Zueger will remain with the company through July 1996, then serve as a
consultant to the business.

     Metal injection molding is used in applications for the automotive, 
medical, electronics and firearms industries.  Since 1989, the market for the 
technology has grown at least 15 percent annually -- and the company expects 
continued growth.  This year, the U.S. metal injection molding market is 
estimated at $60 million; the global market, at $120 million.

     Parts manufactured from Parmatech's technology are beginning to replace 
some machine parts made with Carpenter's traditional specialty metals.  
"Acquiring Parmatech helps us continue to meet our customers' needs today and 
into the future," said Robert W. Cardy, chairman, president and CEO of 
Carpenter.  "We expect that our market contacts will enhance Parmatech's 
growth potential."

     The opportunity for the technology is significant, according to
Dr. Nicholas F. Fiore, senior vice president, Strategic Businesses.  "Metal 
injection molding links directly to our existing metals fabrication and 
structural ceramics businesses," he says.  "We expect this acquisition to 
help us develop a worldwide specialty engineered products capability."

     Carpenter is pursuing the most superior of the developing component
engineering technologies, which are used to produce parts made of metals, 
alloys and ceramics.  In the last 18 months, it also acquired two structural 
ceramics companies with technologies to manufacture a broad line of complex 
injection molded ceramics parts.  

      Parmatech is the second largest metal injection molding company in the 
U.S.  A number of companies around the world -- in the United States, Brazil, 
France, Israel, Japan, Korea and Switzerland -- have licensed its technology.

     Carpenter is a major producer of specialty steel long products and high-
performance alloys for aerospace, automotive, electronics and other industries
worldwide.  In recent years, the company has pursued a growth strategy, 
culminating in a joint manufacturing venture in Taiwan and several 
acquisitions in Mexico and the United States.  In fiscal year 1995 (ended 
June 30, 1995), the company had sales of $758 million.

     Reading, PA (November 10, 1995) -- Carpenter Technology Corporation
(NYSE:CRS) announced today that it acquired Green Bay Supply Co. Inc., a 
privately held master distributor of specialty metal products, for
approximately $11 million.

     Green Bay, based in Hatfield, Pa., is the fifth acquisition Carpenter 
has made in the past three years as part of a strategy to increase revenue
and earnings by entering new markets and specialty materials.  It had been 
owned by Garfield Edmunds Jr.  Green Bay was profitable on sales of $16 
million in calendar year 1994.

     Carpenter will continue to use the Green Bay Supply name and will 
conduct the operation as a separate business, selling stainless products
purchased globally to independent distributors in the United States.
