                Report of Independent Accountants


To the Shareholders and the
Board of Directors of
Dynamet Incorporated

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related
statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Dynamet Incorporated ("Dynamet") at December 31, 1996, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the year in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of Dynamet's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.  We conducted our audit
of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

As described in Note 1, on February 28, 1997, the shareholders of
Dynamet sold all their shares of common stock to Carpenter
Technology Corporation.  In connection with and prior to the
transaction, Dynamet made substantial distributions to its
shareholders during 1997.

Dynamet Incorporated

Notes to Financial Statement
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Transactions With Carpenter and Discontinued Operations
     On February 28, 1997, the shareholders (Shareholders) of
     Dynamet Incorporated (Dynamet) sold all their shares of
     common stock to Carpenter Technology Corporation (Carpenter), 
     pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Agreement) 
     dated January 6, 1997.  Accordingly, Dynamet then became a 
     wholly owned subsidiary of Carpenter.  Concurrently, a 
     Shareholder, the President of Dynamet, purchased the assets 
     of Dynamet's Forged Products Division (FPD) and Dynamet's 
     investment in all of the outstanding preferred stock of an 
     affiliate, Stelkast Incorporated (Stelkast).  As a result, 
     FPD has been reported as discontinued operations in the 
     accompanying financial statements.  Stelkast is engaged in 
     operations related to those of FPD and Dynamet's investment 
     has been considered part of the same segment for discontinued 
     operations reporting.  The price for the purchase of the assets 
     of FPD (principally receivables, inventories and properties) 
     and the Stelkast preferred stock was $2,600,000 plus the buyer's
     assumption of liabilities (principally accounts payable and
     accrued expenses) and a note for $941,000, the amount of debt 
     associated with the FPD facility as of February 28, 1997.  
          
     These assets and the associated liabilities have been classified 
     on the balance sheet, in their aggregate net realizable amount as 
     of December 31, 1996, as "Assets Held for Sale, Net of Liabilities."  
     A provision of $495,900 for 1997 operating losses through February 
     is recorded in other current liabilities.  The difference between 
     the historical cost of the net assets/liabilities and the proceeds 
     from the sale and the provision for 1997 operating losses has been
     recorded in the income statement as a "Loss on Disposal of 
     Discontinued Operations."  In 1996, FPD had sales of approximately 
     $5,400,000.  
          
     Under the terms of the Agreement, Dynamet is permitted to distribute 
     to the Shareholders the S Corporation "Accumulated Adjustment Account" 
     (AAA).  The AAA is estimated to be $15,450,000 as of December 31, 1996, 
     all of which was distributed prior to February 28, 1997.  As part of 
     these distributions, Dynamet distributed certain noncash items to or 
     on behalf of the Shareholders.  The aggregate historical cost of these 
     assets as of December 31, 1996, has been classified on the balance 
     sheet as "Assets Held for Distribution."  These assets consist 
     principally of a corporate aircraft, certain of the collateral 
     assignment agreements on Shareholder life insurance policies, and 
     other investments.  The life insurance agreements have been written 
     down by $446,000 to cash surrender value as the policies were 
     distributed to related-party trusts or canceled with Dynamet 
     realizing the cash surrender value in 1997.  The write-down was 
     treated as distributions to Shareholders in 1996.  Additions to the 
     AAA in 1997 through February 28 (primarily from income between 
     January 1, 1997 and February 28, 1997) will be distributed after
     February 28, 1997.

Notes to Financial Statement

2.   Nature of the Business
     Dynamet's continuing operations consist primarily of metal
     processing of mill products and powder products for
     aerospace, medical and industrial applications.  Sales of
     mill products approximated 94 percent and sales of powdered
     products approximated 6 percent of total sales for the year
     ended December 31, 1996.  Because of the overall
     significance of mill products, Dynamet is considered to
     operate in one dominant segment.
          
3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
          
     Cash and Cash Equivalents
     Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposit accounts
     and other cash equivalents with original maturities of
     3 months or less.

     Inventories
     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost
     is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of
     inventory valuation.

     Assets Held for Sale
     Assets held for sale consist of assets, net of liabilities,
     acquired or assumed by Dynamet's President in 1997.  They
     are valued at the agreed upon purchase price and have been
     accounted for as discontinued operations.

     Assets Held for Distribution
     Assets held for distribution consist of assets distributed
     in 1997 to or on behalf of the Shareholders as part of
     S Corporation cash distributions.  

     Properties
     Properties are recorded at cost.  Maintenance and repair
     costs are expensed as incurred; renewals and betterments
     that extend the physical or economic life of an asset are
     capitalized.

     Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis over the
     estimated useful lives of the properties for financial
     reporting purposes and on accelerated methods for tax
     purposes.  Depreciation for the rod and bar mill is adjusted
     based on the level of production.

     Income Taxes
     Dynamet is an S Corporation, and income or loss is not taxed
     at the corporate level; instead, it is passed through
     directly to the Shareholders.  The provision for income
     taxes represents taxes currently payable to states in which
     S Corporation status was not elected, less a reversal of
     federal taxes accrued in years prior to electing
     S Corporation status.  As of December 31, 1996 the aggregate
     net amounts reported for Dynamet's assets and liabilities
     and their aggregate net tax bases are approximately the
     same.  

     Use of Estimates
     Generally accepted accounting principles require management
     to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
     contingent assets and liabilities at year end and the
     reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. 
     Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4.   Inventories
     Dynamet generally produces inventory to customer
     specifications.  If LIFO inventories to be used in
     continuing operations had been valued at their replacement
     cost, they would have been higher by $8,160,000 and
     $2,353,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  At
     December 31, 1996, inventories consisted of the following:

     (in thousands of dollars)

          Raw material                       $  3,190
          Work-in-process                       9,064

6.  Other Noncurrent Assets

                                             December 31,
     (in thousands of dollars)                   1996

          Management life insurance          $     215

                                             =========

     Management life insurance includes premiums advanced on
     behalf of certain employees for life insurance policies. 
     Dynamet has a secured interest in the policies up to the
     full amount of premiums advanced.

7.   Lines of Credit
     Dynamet had unsecured demand lines of credit with two banks. 
     At December 31, 1996, there were no borrowings under these
     lines.  In 1997, prior to the Shareholders selling their
     stock to Carpenter, Dynamet temporarily borrowed under these
     lines of credit, primarily for distributions to
     Shareholders.  Subsequent to the sale of common stock, the
     borrowings were repaid by Carpenter and the lines of credit
     were terminated.  
     
     In 1996, Dynamet entered into a $4,000,000 term loan with a
     bank.  In early February 1997, the term loan was repaid by
     Dynamet.  

     Current Portion of Long-Term Debt

                                             December 31,
     (in thousands of dollars)                   1996

     Industrial Revenue Bonds                $    202
     Pennsylvania Industrial 
       Development Authority loans                552
     Other                                        287
                                             --------
                                             $  1,041
                                             ========

     The industrial revenue bonds are variable rate demand bonds
     and require payments based on a varying percentage of the
     prime rate.  The percentage of prime is determined based on
     the market for the bonds.  During the year ended
     December 31, 1996, the interest rate averaged 3.6 percent.

Notes to Financial Statement
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority and other
     loans were repaid by Dynamet subsequent to the Shareholders
     selling their stock to Carpenter.  
     
     As part of the Agreement, prior to closing, Dynamet received
     a note from Dynamet's President for the amount of the debt
     associated with the FPD facility as of February 28, 1997. 
     
 9.  Major Customers
     During the year ended December 31, 1996, Dynamet had sales
     to two customers that, in the aggregate, approximated
     29 percent of net sales.  Additionally, at December 31,
     1996, Dynamet had outstanding receivables with two customers
     in the aerospace industry that, in the aggregate,
     approximated 26 percent of total accounts receivable.  

10.  Employee Retirement Plans
     Dynamet has defined contribution retirement plans covering
     certain nonbargaining unit employees.  The amount of the
     contributions to the plans is at Dynamet's discretion.  
          
     Dynamet is also a participant in a multiemployer pension
     plan on behalf of union employees. Total expense for the
     plans was $873,400 for the year ended December 31, 1996.

     Dynamet maintains supplemental executive retirement
     arrangements for certain key employees.  Dynamet has accrued
     the estimated liability for these arrangements; the related
     expense was $308,955 in 1996.

11.  Contributions
     Dynamet made contributions to a private foundation, certain
     trustees of which were Shareholders.  Contributions have
     been made at the discretion of the Shareholders and amounted
     to $500,000 in 1996.  Subsequent to the sale of the
     Shareholders' stock to Carpenter, this foundation will no
     longer be affiliated with Dynamet and Dynamet will not make
     future contributions to this foundation.  

12.  Related-Party Transactions
     Dynamet owned, and sold to the President (Note 1), all of
     the preferred stock of Stelkast.  Two trusts of which
     Shareholders are trustees own all of Stelkast's common
     stock.  

     FPD sales of titanium products to Stelkast totaled $564,000
     in 1996.  At December 31, 1996, FPD receivables from
     Stelkast were $520,000.  During 1996, Dynamet increased its
     investment in Stelkast through the funding of salary,
     benefits and other operational expenses totaling $708,000. 
     The receivables from Stelkast and the 1996 increase in the
     investment in Stelkast have been fully reserved for as a
     component of the loss from discontinued operations.

13.  Contingent Liabilities
     During 1996, Dynamet acquired titanium from a material
     supplier (the Supplier), which the Supplier had produced
     from titanium scrap contaminated with tungsten, potentially
     rendering it out of specification and unfit for use in
     aerospace applications.  

     Dynamet processed some of the material and shipped some to
     Dynamet customers.  When the problem was discovered, some of
     the material was in Dynamet's inventory, some was being
     processed at Dynamet's customers and some was shipped by
     Dynamet's customers to their customers.  Accordingly, the
     Supplier, Dynamet and its customers are in the process of
     determining which portion of the material is suitable for
     use.  One major aerospace user has indicated that the
     material at one major customer is acceptable.

     Dynamet and its customers are incurring expense in
     identifying and evaluating the material. In addition, any
     material not suitable for use has costs associated with the
     material and the processing of the material.  The aggregate
     amount of these costs has not been determined at this time. 
     However, Dynamet does not believe these costs will have a
     material impact on Dynamet's financial statements.
 
     Dynamet management believes that the Supplier is liable to
     Dynamet and to Dynamet's customers for the damages suffered
     by reason of the Supplier shipping impure titanium.  In
     verbal and written communications between Dynamet and the
     Supplier, the Supplier's senior management acknowledges its
     liability for the costs associated with the material that is
     ultimately determined not to be useable for its intended
     purposes.  The Supplier is cooperating with Dynamet and
     Dynamet's customers to evaluate the material and to arrange
     for its recall, if necessary.
 
     Since considerable work remains to be done to determine the
     portion of the material that is not fit for use and to
     quantify the damages to Dynamet and its customers, no
     liabilities to customers or claims against the Supplier have
     been recorded in the financial statements.  Dynamet recorded
     1996 sales of $2.4 million of this material and has
     $1.3 million (at purchased cost) remaining in inventory.

     UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial information reflects the acquisition on February 28,
1997, by Carpenter Technology Corporation (the "Company" or
"Carpenter") of the outstanding common stock of Dynamet
Incorporated ("Dynamet") for an aggregate purchase price
approximating $151 million, including costs.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
reflects the acquisition as if it had occurred on December 31,
1996.  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Income for the year ended June 30, 1996 and the six months
ended December 31, 1996 reflect the acquisition as if it had
occurred at the beginning of the year ended June 30, 1996.  The
pro forma information is based on the historical financial
statements of the Company and Dynamet after giving effect to the
acquisition using the purchase method of accounting and
assumptions and adjustments deemed appropriate by the Company,
certain of which are described in the accompanying notes to the
pro forma financial statements.  The Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income do not include the results of
operations of Dynamet's Forge Products Division and investment in
Stelkast Incorporated which were accounted for as discontinued
operations in Dynamet's historical financial data. (see Note d to
the pro forma condensed consolidated financial information).

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated information does
not purport to be indicative of the Company's financial position
or results of operations had the acquisition actually occurred on
the dates presented nor is it necessarily indicative of the
Company's future financial position or future operating results. 
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information should
be read in conjunction with the separate audited historical
consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes
thereto set forth in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form
10-K, and the historical consolidated financial statements of
Dynamet and the notes thereto set forth in Item 7(a) of this Form

                   Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma 
           Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

Balance Sheet Adjustments:
- -------------------------
a.   Adjustments to reflect the consideration given for the
     purchase of Dynamet, consisting of $50.8 million in cash
     which was borrowed through available credit facilities, the
     issuance of Carpenter common treasury shares with a fair
     value of $99.5 million, and $.7 million of acquisition
     costs.  The borrowings, in the form of short-term debt, were
     classified as long-term debt because the Company has the
     ability and intent to refinance these borrowings on a long-term 
     basis in the future.

b.   Adjustments to reflect the effects of consulting and
     non-competition agreements with certain former
     shareholder-officers of Dynamet.

c.   Adjustments to reflect the estimated fair value of Dynamet's
     net assets, including related deferred income taxes.  The
     purchase price allocation is based upon preliminary
     appraisal values and management estimates and is subject to
     reclassifications and adjustments in the future.

d.   Adjustment to record the sale of the Forge Products Division
     of Dynamet and a related investment in Stelkast Incorporated
     immediately after the acquisition in accordance with
     provisions of the acquisition agreement.

e.   Adjustment to record distributions to the former
     shareholders of Dynamet of retained earnings existing as of
     December 31, 1996, as provided for in the acquisition
     agreement.

f.   Adjustment to eliminate the shareholders' equity of Dynamet.

Statements of Income Adjustments:
- --------------------------------
g.   Adjustments to provisions for depreciation and amortization
     for estimated fair value adjustments related to property,
     plant and equipment depreciated over lives ranging from 3 to
     30 years on a straight-line basis, and goodwill and other
     intangible assets (trademarks and tradenames) amortized over
     30 years on a straight-line basis.

h.   Additional expenses related to a 5-year non-competition
     agreement with a former shareholder of Dynamet.

           Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

Statements of Income Adjustments, continued:
- --------------------------------
i.   Additional interest expense on borrowings resulting from the
     purchase of Dynamet.  Interest was assumed at an average
     rate of 7.5%, the approximate current borrowing rate of the
     Company.

j.   Adjustment to record income taxes at a rate of 40% of
     Dynamet's historical pre-tax income and the pro forma
     adjustments other than amortization of goodwill.  Dynamet's 
     historical income taxes reflected only one state's income 
     taxes since it was a Subchapter S corporation for federal 
     and certain state income tax purposes prior to acquisition.

k.   Adjustment to reflect the issuance of 2,772,059 shares of
     Company common treasury stock as part of the purchase price
     of Dynamet.

l.   Cost savings benefits from synergies derived from the
     acquisition, which may be significant, are not reflected in
     the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
