Report of Independent Accountants
---------------------------------
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND
SHAREHOLDERS OF TALLEY INDUSTRIES, INC.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in
Item 7(a) in the accompanying index appearing on page F-1 present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Talley
Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits
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
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------
As more fully explained in the Discontinued Operations footnote
to the financial statements, the Company, subsequent to the
original issuance of its financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1996, has been involved in transactions which will
result in a merger. In connection with such merger, all but one
segment of the Company's business is being sold and accordingly
have been reflected as discontinued operations in the restated
financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its majority-owned domestic and foreign
subsidiaries. Real estate joint ventures that are majority owned
and under the control of the Company are also included in the
consolidated accounts of the Company. All unconsolidated companies
are reflected in the financial statements on the equity basis. All
material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Nature of Operations:
Talley Industries, Inc. is a diversified manufacturer of a wide
range of proprietary and other specialized products for defense,
industrial and commercial applications. Through its Government
Products and Services segment, the Company manufactures an
extensive array of propellant devices and electronic components for
defense systems and commercial applications and provides naval
architectural and marine engineering services. The vast majority
of the Government Products and Services are for U.S. Defense and
are smaller components of larger units and systems that are
generally designed to enhance safety or improve performance. The
Company participates in the expanding market for automotive
airbags, historically through a royalty agreement and currently
through developing new airbag technologies. The Company's
Stainless Steel Products segment manufactures and distributes
stainless steel rods and bars and other stainless steel products.

<PAGE>
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations, continued
The Company's Industrial Products segment manufactures and sells
high-voltage ceramic insulators used in power transmission and
distribution systems, and specialized welding equipment and
systems, aerosol insecticides, air fresheners and sanitizers, and
custom designed metal buttons. During 1996, the Company sold all
but one of its real estate properties which were a part of the
Realty segment. Substantially all of the Company's facilities are
located in and provide sales and services to the United States and
Canada. (See Discontinued Operations footnote)
Accounting Estimates:
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 reported
period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Cash equivalents, which consist primarily of commercial paper and
money market funds, are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which
approximates market.
Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined by the first-in, first-out method for substantially all
commercial inventories. Costs accumulated under government
contracts are stated at actual cost, net of progress payments, not
in excess of estimated realizable value.
F-10
<PAGE>
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition:
Sales are generally recorded by the Company when products are
shipped or services performed. Sales under government contracts
are recorded when the units are shipped and accepted by the
government or as costs are incurred on the percentage-of-completion
method. Applicable earnings are recorded pro rata based upon total
estimated earnings at completion of the contracts. Anticipated
future losses on contracts are charged to income when identified.
Airbag royalties are recognized on an accrual basis, based on
production of airbag units by the licensee and production and sales
of automobiles for airbag units not produced by the licensee.
Property and Depreciation:
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and
include expenditures which substantially extend their useful lives.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as
incurred. With the exception of items being depreciated under
composite lives, profit or loss on items retired or otherwise
disposed of is reflected in earnings. When items being depreciated
under composite lives are retired or otherwise disposed of,
accumulated depreciation is charged with the asset cost and
credited with any proceeds with no effect on earnings; however,
abnormal dispositions of these assets are reflected in earnings.
Depreciation of plant and equipment, other than buildings and
improvements on leased land, is computed primarily by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Depreciation of buildings on leased land and amortization of
leasehold improvements and equipment are computed on the
straight-line method over the shorter of the terms of the related
leases or the estimated useful lives of the buildings or
improvements. The principal estimated useful lives are: building
and improvement 10-40 years, machinery and equipment 5-10 years.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Significant Accounting Policies
Income Taxes:
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for
the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect in the years in which the differences are expected to
reverse. United States income taxes are provided on the portion of
earnings remitted or expected to be remitted from foreign
subsidiaries.
Earnings Per Share:
Net earnings per share of Common stock and Common stock
equivalents has been computed on the basis of the average number of
Common shares outstanding during each year. The average number of
shares has been adjusted for assumed exercise at the beginning of
the year (or date of grant, if later) for any dilutive stock
options, with funds obtained thereby used to purchase shares of the
Company's Common stock at the average price during the year, and
assumed conversion of all dilutive convertible preferred stock.
Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive are excluded from
the computation of earnings per share and earnings are reduced by
the dividend requirements on such equivalents.
Intangibles:
The excess cost of investments in subsidiaries over the equity
in net assets at acquisition date is being amortized using the
straight-line method over periods not in excess of 40 years. The
majority of the Company's intangibles consist of goodwill, which is
the excess of cost over tangible and identifiable intangible assets
acquired. The carrying value of intangibles is evaluated
periodically in relation to the operating performance and future
cash flow of the underlying businesses.

Earnings or Loss Applicable to Common Shares:

reducing the net earnings or loss by dividends, including
undeclared or unpaid dividends, of the Company's Preferred A, B and
D stocks.

amount receivable must be approved by the Congressional Joint
Committee on Taxation before payment will be received, and
accordingly is classified as non-current. Also included in
continuing operations are deferred debt issue costs of $3,044,000
and $4,488,000 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

On October 22, 1993 the Company completed a major debt
refinancing program. The Company received gross proceeds of
$70,000,000 from the issuance of Senior Discount Debentures, due
2005, which were issued to yield 12.25% (face amount of
$126,555,000). In addition, Talley Manufacturing and Technology,
Inc., ("Talley Manufacturing") a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, which owns all of the Company's subsidiaries (except for
the subsidiaries holding the Company's real estate operations),
issued $115,000,000 of Senior Notes, due 2003, with an interest
rate of 10.75%. Talley Manufacturing also completed a $60,000,000
secured credit facility with two institutional lenders. The gross
proceeds of the public offerings, plus an initial borrowing under
the secured credit facility, after payment of underwriting and
other fees and expenses associated with these financings, were used
to repay substantially all of the Company's previously outstanding
non-real estate related debt.
The indentures for the Senior Notes and the Senior Discount
Debentures and the loan agreement relating to the secured credit
facility contain covenants requiring specified fixed charge
coverage ratios, working capital levels, capital expenditure
limits, net worth levels, cash flow levels and certain other
restrictions including limitations on dividends and other payments
and incurrence of debt. As a holding company with no significant

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Long-Term Debt, (continued)
operating or income-producing assets beyond its stock interests in
Talley Manufacturing and the subsidiaries holding its real estate
operations, the Company is dependent primarily upon distributions
from these subsidiaries to meet its debt service and other
obligations. Payments from the subsidiaries are generally limited
by the debt covenants of Talley Manufacturing.
Substantially all of the receivables, inventory and property,
plant and equipment of Talley Manufacturing and its subsidiaries
are pledged as collateral in connection with the secured credit
facility. In addition, the subsidiaries of Talley Manufacturing
have guaranteed Talley Manufacturing's obligations under the Senior
Notes and the secured credit facility and the Company has
guaranteed the Senior Notes on a subordinated basis. The capital
stock of Talley Manufacturing has been pledged by the Company to
secure the Senior Discount Debentures.
The Senior Notes mature on October 15, 2003 and Talley
Manufacturing is required to make mandatory sinking fund payments
of $11,500,000 on October 15, in each of 2000, 2001 and 2002.
Interest is payable semi-annually, having commenced April 15, 1994.
The Senior Discount Debentures mature on October 15, 2005. No
interest on the Senior Discount Debentures will be payable until
April 15, 1999, when interest will be payable semi-annually on
April 15 and October 15 of each year. In the event that certain
financial and other conditions are satisfied, the Senior Discount
Debentures require prepayments based on defined levels of airbag
royalties received and proceeds from real estate sales.
During 1996, the Company repurchased a substantial portion of
the Senior Discount Debentures through several offers and open
market purchases. Total aggregate principal amount of the
repurchased debentures was $124,002,000 with an accreted value of
$97,451,000. The Company paid a total of $105,968,000 including
accrued interest and prepayment premiums to repurchase the tendered
debentures. The Company recognized a $12,052,000 extraordinary
loss in connection with the debt extinguishment, which consists of
prepayment premiums and deferred debt cost on the extinguished
debt. During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company reclassified
F-15

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Long-Term Debt, (continued)
approximately $1,642,000 from interest expense to extraordinary
loss. This amount consists of prepayment premiums and deferred
debt cost incurred in the second quarter of 1996 in connection with
the repurchase of the Senior Discount Debentures.
The secured credit facility consists of a five year revolving
credit facility of up to $40,000,000 and a five year $20,000,000
term loan facility. At December 31, 1996 availability under the
facility, based on inventory and receivable levels and certain
plant and equipment, was approximately $52,000,000, of which
approximately $12,000,000 was borrowed. The five-year term
facility requires monthly amortization payments based on a seven
year amortization schedule, with the balance due upon expiration in
October 1998. The credit facility interest rate is prime plus one
half of one percent or LIBOR plus 2-3/4%, with an additional fee of
one-quarter of one percent on unused amounts under the revolving
facility.
Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the years ending
December 31, 1997 through December 31, 2001, are $3,497,000,
$4,053,000, $-0-, $11,500,000 and $11,500,000, respectively.
Maturities for 1997 include the balance of Senior Discount
Debentures due in 2005, since the Company plans to redeem the
balance outstanding in the coming year. Cash payments for total
interest from continuing and discontinued operations, net of
amounts capitalized, during 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $45,175,000,
$16,132,000 and $16,758,000, respectively. These payments are
substantially all related to the Senior Notes and Senior Discount
Debentures, which are part of continuing operations. Accrued
interest expense at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was
$2,703,000, $2,656,000 and $2,640,000, respectively. Unamortized
deferred debt issue costs at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were
$3,748,000, $8,509,000 and $9,922,000, respectively. Deferred debt
issue costs are amortized over the life of the respective debt
instruments using the straight line method. Amortization of debt
expense, including amounts related to debt reductions, in 1996,
1995 and 1994 was $4,761,000, $1,413,000 and $1,413,000,
respectively.

Benefit Plans
Stock Option Plans
------------------
In April 1996, the Company's shareholders approved the "1996
Comprehensive Stock Plan of Talley Industries, Inc." (the Plan)
effective as of January 1, 1996 for key employees of the Company.
Under the Plan, 1,200,000 shares of Common stock are available for
issuance in connection with incentive stock options, non-qualified
stock options, stock appreciation rights, bonus stock, awards in
lieu of cash obligations and other stock-based awards. The Plan
also permits cash payments either as a separate award or as a
supplement to a stock-based award. Options may be granted at an
exercise price, in the case of an incentive stock option, of not
less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant,
and in the case of an option other than an incentive stock option,
of not less than 50% of the fair market value of the shares on the
date of grant. The Plan replaces the Company's 1983 Restricted
Stock Plan, the 1983 Long-Term Incentive Plan (both of which plans
have terminated) and the 1978 and 1990 Stock Option Plans. As a
result of the approval of the Plan, no further grants of options
will be made under either the 1978 or 1990 Stock Options Plans. As
of December 31, 1996 no options have been granted under the 1996
Comprehensive Stock Plan. As of December 31, 1996, outstanding
options under the 1990 and 1978 plans were 56,000 and 199,050,
respectively. The 1990 and 1978 plans require incentive stock
option prices to be no less than the market value at the date of
the grant and that all options, incentive and non-qualified, become
exercisable generally in five years, but in no case greater than
ten years from the date of grant, as specified in the individual
grants.

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" at December 31, 1996. Accordingly,
no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option
plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans
been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for
awards in 1996 and 1995 consistent with the provisions of SFAS No.
123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per share would have
been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
(balance in thousands, except per share amounts) 1996 1995
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Net earnings - as reported $18,741 $17,964
Net earnings - pro forma $18,673 $17,858
Earnings per share - as reported $ .40 $ 1.28
Earnings per share - pro forma $ .40 $ 1.27
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1995:
dividend yield of 0%; risk-free interest rate of 6.21%; expected
volatility of 43 %, and expected lives of 5.0 years. There were no
grants of options during 1996.

In April 1996, the Company's shareholders approved the "1996
Non-Employee Director Stock Plan of Talley Industries, Inc." (the
Director Plan) effective as of January 1, 1996 for non-employee
directors of the Company. Under the Director Plan, 200,000 shares
of Common stock are available for issuance in connection with the
Annual Restricted Stock Grants or the Annual Option Grants. The
exercise price under an option will be equal to the fair market
value of the Common stock on the date of grant. At December 31,
1996, a total of 10,000 options for shares of Common stock had
been granted under the Director Plan with an option price of $7.88.
Retirement Plans
The Company and its subsidiaries have pension plans covering
a majority of its employees. Normal retirement age is 65, but
provisions are made for early retirement. For subsidiaries with
defined benefit plans, benefits are generally based on years of
service and salary levels. Contributions to the respective defined
contribution plans are based on each participant's annual pay and
age. The Company also has a retirement plan for its Board of
Directors. Benefits are payable under the plan after five years of
service upon reaching age 68, or retirement if later. Net pension
cost for continuing operations in 1996, 1995 and 1994 was
$1,098,000, $1,453,000 and $1,954,000, respectively.
Net pension cost for discontinued operations in 1996, 1995 and
1994 was $2,597,000, $2,679,000 and $2,883,000, respectively.

The Directors' Pension plan was unfunded with a projected
benefit obligation of $1,009,000 and $897,000 at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively. The net pension cost for 1996 and 1995
were $247,000 and $234,000, respectively.
Assumptions used in 1996, 1995 and 1994 to determine the

Assumed discount rate 7.25% 6.5% 8.5%
Assumed rate of compensation increase 4.5% 4.5% 5.0%
Expected rate of return on plan assets 9.0% 9.0% 9.0%
Net periodic pension cost is determined using the assumptions
as of the beginning of the year. The funded status is determined
using the assumptions as of the end of the year. Assets of the
Company's pension plans consist of marketable equity securities,
guaranteed investment contracts and corporate and government debt
securities. At December 31, 1996 the total value of defined
benefit plan assets exceed total vested benefits by $16,135,000.
Effective January 1, 1984, the Company established an employee
stock purchase plan for eligible U.S. employees. Each eligible
employee who elects to participate may contribute 1% to 5% of his
or her pretax compensation from the Company. The Company
contributes an amount equal to 50% of the employee contributions.
Total Company contributions during 1996 and 1995 were $535,000 and
$502,000, respectively.
Accrued Compensation
Accrued compensation for continuing operations was $5,208,000,

Capital Stock
Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred stock entitles
its holder to receive an annual cash dividend of $1.10 per share;
to convert it into .95 of a share of Common stock, as adjusted in
the event of future dilution; to receive up to $25.00 per share in
the event of involuntary or voluntary liquidation; and, subject to
certain conditions in loan agreements, may be redeemed at the
option of the Company at a price of $25.00 per share plus accrued
and unpaid dividends.
Each share of Series B $1.00 Cumulative Convertible Preferred
stock entitles its holder to receive an annual cash dividend of
$1.00 per share; to convert it into 1.31 shares of Common stock, as
adjusted in the event of future dilution; to receive up to $20.00
per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends in the event of
involuntary liquidation; to receive up to $52.50 plus accrued and
unpaid dividends per share in the event of voluntary liquidation
and, subject to certain conditions in loan agreements, may be
redeemed at the option of the Company at a price of $52.50 per
share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Dividends on the shares
of Series A and Series B Preferred stock are cumulative and must be
paid in the event of liquidation and before any distribution to
holders of Common stock.
Each share of Common stock has a preferred stock purchase
right attached, allowing the holder, upon the occurrence of a
change in control, as defined in a Rights agreement (as amended and
restated on February 2, 1996), to buy one one-hundredth of a share
of Series C Junior Participating Preferred stock at an exercise
price of $32. The Series C stock, which may be purchased upon
exercise of the Rights, is nonredeemable and junior to other series
of the Company's preferred stock. No shares of Series C stock have
been issued as of December 31, 1996.
On February 16, 1996, the Company issued 1,905,849 shares of
Talley Common stock in connection with the conversion of all of the
Company's Series D Preferred stock at December 31, 1995. The
conversion automatically extinguished all unpaid dividends on that
stock, totaling approximately $2,600,000. The Series D Preferred
stock had been held in a voting trust agreement since its issuance
in connection with a 1988 acquisition by the Company. The Common
stock will continue to be held in the voting trust, which has been
extended under the agreement until March 2001.

Capital Stock, (continued)
On April 22, 1996, pursuant to a conversion offer with respect
to the Company's Series B and Series A Preferred stock,
approximately 798,000 shares or approximately 52% of the
outstanding shares of Series B and approximately 53,000 shares or
approximately 79% of the Series A were converted to Common stock.
Series B holders who converted received 2.5 shares of Common stock
for each outstanding Series B share. Series A holders who
converted received 2.0 shares of Common stock for each outstanding
Series A share. Common stock of approximately 1,995,000 shares
were issued in connection with the conversion of the Series B
Preferred stock and approximately 106,000 shares were issued in
connection with the conversion of the Series A Preferred stock.
Prior to the conversion there were approximately 1,548,000 shares
of Series B outstanding and 67,000 shares of Series A outstanding.
The conversion automatically extinguished all unpaid dividends on
the Series B and Series A shares that were converted totaling
approximately $4,000,000 ($5 per share) on the Series B Preferred
stock and totaling approximately $300,000 ($5.50 per share) on the
Series A Preferred stock at March 31, 1996. The Company has
resumed quarterly dividend payments on the Series A and Series B
Preferred stock. The ability to pay dividends in the future is
limited by the provisions of the Company's debt requirements.
The conversion transactions do not impact the net earnings of
the Company in 1996, but "earnings applicable to common shares
(after deduction of preferred stock dividends)," as supplementally
disclosed by the Company, and the "earnings per share of common
stock and common equivalent share" have been reduced. The excess
of the fair value of the common shares transferred in the
transactions by the Company over the fair value of the common
shares issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms have been
subtracted from net earnings in the calculations of net earnings
available to common shareholders and earnings per share.
In late 1996 and early 1997, the Board of Directors approved
the repurchase of up to 950,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, in the open market or in negotiated transactions, from time
to time, at prices deemed appropriate by the Company's officers,
with such shares to be retired as authorized but unissued shares.

Capital Stock, (continued)
At December 31, 1996, total number of common shares repurchased was
277,300 shares, for a total cost of approximately $2,082,000.
At December 31, 1996 there were 3,753,000 shares of Common
stock reserved for conversion of preferred stock, for exercise of
stock options, for issuance of shares under the Employee 401(k)
Plan and for the payment of a portion of the purchase price of a
business acquisition completed in 1994.
Leases
Rental expense for continuing operations (reduced by rental
income from subleases of $33,000 in 1996, $37,000 in 1995 and
$37,000 in 1994) amounted to $1,258,000 in 1996, $1,178,000 in 1995
and $1,180,000 in 1994. Rental expense for discontinued operations
(reduced by rental income from subleases of $340,000, $404,000 and
$292,000 for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively) amounted
to $3,885,000 in 1996, $3,592,000 in 1995 and $3,979,000 in 1994.
Aggregate future minimum rental payments for continuing operations
required under operating leases having an initial lease term in
excess of one year for years ending December 31, 1997 through
December 31, 2001 are $1,138,000, $1,090,000, $731,000, $166,000
and $86,000, respectively, with $14,000 payable in future years.
Minimum operating lease payments for continuing operations have not
been reduced by future minimum sublease rentals of $3,000.
The net book value of leased buildings and equipment under
capital leases from continuing operations at December 31, 1996 and
1995 amounted to $-0- and $75,000, respectively.

Approximately $6,900,000 of the reduction was related to the
deferred tax asset associated with the Company's Senior Discount
Debentures, which were substantially all redeemed in 1996,
including the amortized original issue discount, which accordingly
reduced income taxes in 1996.

Income Taxes, (continued)
United States income taxes have not been provided on
approximately $1,000,000 of undistributed earnings of subsidiaries
incorporated outside the United States, since it is the Company's
intent to reinvest such earnings. Net cash payments for income
taxes during 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $8,526,000, $2,676,000 and
$569,000, respectively.
Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation - TRW Inc.
A judgment in the Company's favor in the amount of
$138,000,000 was entered against TRW Inc. (TRW) by the United
States District Court for the District of Arizona in June 1995
following a jury verdict that TRW had repudiated and breached the
April 1989 Airbag Royalty Agreement with the Company. The
$138,000,000 damages amount represented the jury's calculation of
the present value of the remaining stream of Airbag Royalties which
would have been payable by TRW through the April 2001 scheduled
expiration date of the Airbag Royalty Agreement had TRW not
breached the Agreement. TRW appealed the judgment, and, during the
pendency of the appeal, was ordered by the District Court to
continue making quarterly payments to the Company in the same
amounts as if the Airbag Royalty Agreement had not been terminated
and repudiated by TRW. On June 19, 1996, the United States Court
of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit rejected TRW's appeal and affirmed
the $138,000,000 judgment. A petition for rehearing filed by TRW
with the Court of Appeals was denied on July 30, 1996.
In August 1996 TRW made payments aggregating approximately
$133,144,000 to the Company on account of TRW's obligations under
the judgment. The payments represented the $138,000,000 face
amount of the judgment award, plus interest at the default rate
specified by the Airbag Royalty Agreement (prime plus 5%), less the
quarterly payments made by TRW pursuant to the District Court's
order during the pendency of the appeal. A further payment was
made by TRW at the same time in the amount of approximately
$6,704,000 as that portion of a court-ordered reimbursement of
litigation fees and costs (and interest on the reimbursement amount
at the same default rate).

Litigation - TRW Inc., continued
During September 1996, claims between the Company and TRW
(which had been scheduled for trial) and all other matters in
dispute with TRW were settled by the parties pursuant to a global
settlement agreement. Under that settlement, TRW made a further
cash payment to the Company on September 3, 1996 in the aggregate
amount of $16,601,000. Accordingly, all claims between the parties
have now been resolved, and cash payments have been made by TRW
aggregating $156,449,000.
The litigation in which this judgment was entered arose out of
the Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 4, 1989 and the License
Agreement dated April 21, 1989, between TRW and the Company
pursuant to which TRW acquired the Company's airbag business. The
court dismissed TRW's claims that the Company had breached a
non-compete provision contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement,
thereby entitling TRW to terminate airbag royalty payments to the
Company under the License Agreement (which it purported to do in
February 1994) and obtain a paid-up license to use the Company's
airbag technology. The jury found in fact that TRW had improperly
terminated and repudiated the License Agreement.
Litigation - Arizona Department of Revenue
The Arizona Department of Revenue issued Notices of Correction
of Income Tax dated March 17, 1986 to the Company for the fiscal
year ending March 31, 1983. These Notices pertain to whether
subsidiaries of the Company must file separate income tax returns
in Arizona rather than allowing the Company to file on a
consolidated basis. The amount of additional Arizona income tax
alleged to be due as a result of the Notices of Correction was
approximately $400,000 plus interest. In May 1992 the Arizona
Tax Court granted judgment in favor of the Company and against the
Department on all claims asserted against the Company. In October
1992 the Tax Court entered judgment in favor of the Company
awarding the Company approximately $600,000 for the Arizona income
taxes the Company overpaid for its fiscal year ending March 31,
1983 together with interest and attorneys' fees.

Litigation - Arizona Department of Revenue, continued
In September 1994, the Arizona Court of Appeals reversed the
1992 Arizona Tax Court ruling that entitled the Company to file a
combined tax return in the State of Arizona for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1983, and in April 1995, the Supreme Court of the
State of Arizona denied the Company's Petition for Review. Based
on the appellate court decision, the Company paid approximately
$1,300,000 in taxes and interest for the period ending March 31,
1983. On October 15, 1996, the Company made a payment of
$4,842,000 to resolve the related dispute for the period ending
December 31, 1984 and 1985. Legislation adopted in 1994 in Arizona
specifically allows companies to file combined tax returns in
Arizona for periods from January 1, 1986, and on December 8, 1994
the Arizona Department of Revenue withdrew its assessments against
the Company for 1986 and subsequent years.
Environmental
A subsidiary of the Company has been named as a potentially
responsible party by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and
Liability Act in connection with the remediation of the Beacon
Heights Landfill in Beacon Falls, Connecticut. Management's review
indicates that the Company sent ordinary rubbish and off-specification
plastic parts to this landfill and did not send any hazardous wastes
to the site. A coalition of potentially responsible parties has
entered into consent decrees with the EPA to remediate the site.
The coalition has in turn brought an action against other potentially
responsible parties, including a subsidiary of the Company, to contribute
to the cleanup costs. The federal district court hearing the case
dismissed claims against the subsidiary. However, in November 1996
the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the district court's
ruling and remanded the case for trial. Based upon management's review
and the status of the proceedings, with respect to this matter,
management believes that any reasonably anticipated losses from
this claim will not result in a material adverse impact on the
results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

The current owner of a site in Athens, Georgia is conducting
an informal investigation of alleged groundwater contamination. A
subsidiary of the Company was an owner of the site until March
1988, and is cooperating with the investigation. The Georgia
Environmental Protection Division made a determination in 1995 that
the site should be listed on its Hazardous Site Inventory. No
lawsuit or administrative enforcement proceedings have been
initiated in this matter. Based on remediation estimates received,
management believes that any reasonably anticipated losses from the
alleged contamination will not result in a material adverse impact

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair
values of the Company's financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate. Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial

the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a force or
liquidation sale.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (continued)
The following notes summarize the major methods and
assumptions used by the Company in estimating the fair values of
financial instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates
fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Non-trade receivables
Interest rates on non-trade receivables, including the current
portion, are generally at current market rates. Accordingly the
carrying value and fair value of the receivables are equal after
considering allowances for the carrying value of certain notes.
Debt
The fair value of the Company's debt, including the current
portion, at December 31, 1996 and 1995 is based on quoted market
prices or recent market activity.
Discontinued Operations
On December 5, 1997, Score Acquisition Corp., (Purchaser) a
Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Carpenter
Technology Corporation (Carpenter), accepted for payment pursuant
to a cash tender offer, approximately 74.4% (measured by the
aggregate voting power on a fully diluted basis) of the issued and
outstanding voting securities of the Company. The tender offer was
made by Purchaser pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
September 25, 1997, among Carpenter, Purchaser and the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement the voting securities
of the Company not acquired in the tender offer will be acquired in
a second step merger at the same per share price for each class of
securities as in the tender offer. The stockholders of the Company
will vote on the merger at a special meeting of stockholders to be
held on February 19, 1998.
F-32
<PAGE>
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Discontinued Operations, (continued)
Because the approval of the holders of at least a majority of
all outstanding voting securities is sufficient to approve the
merger, Purchaser can cause the merger to occur without the
affirmative vote of any other holders of voting securities.
Carpenter and Purchaser have agreed pursuant to the Merger
Agreement to vote all of their voting securities in favor of the
merger. Carpenter has adopted a plan to dispose of all of the
Company's operations, other than its Stainless Steel Products
segment, accordingly all financial statements and related
information for the years ending December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
have been restated to reflect all operations other than the
stainless steel operations, as discontinued operations. Based on
the Company's estimate of future results of operations through the
estimated disposition dates of all operations being sold, taking
into consideration the costs of disposal and the proceeds expected
from the sales of each operation, no overall loss is anticipated.
The amounts the Company will ultimately realize may differ from the
estimates made at the time the Company adopted the plan of
disposition.
A summary of the results of operations of the discontinued
operations for each of the three years in the period ending
December 31, 1996 and the financial position of the discontinued

Discontinued Operations, (continued)
Financial Position, continued
Interest expense has been allocated to the discontinued
operations based on the ratio of net assets of the discontinued
operations to the sum of consolidated net assets and debt not
directly attributable to other operations. Revenue and earnings
for discontinued operations in 1996 were significantly impacted by
the receipt of $156,449,000 from TRW Inc. in satisfaction of the
court's judgement relating to the Company's airbag royalties
dispute and certain other matters.
Realty Assets
In 1992, the Company initiated a plan for the orderly
disposition of all its remaining real estate assets. With the
resolution of the airbag royalty dispute with TRW and after
receiving payments in connection therewith in the third quarter of
1996, and also in view of the slower than expected improvement in
the market conditions for real estate assets, the Company re-
evaluated and changed its strategy for exiting the real estate
business. The Company adjusted its strategy of selling properties
to end users in an orderly process over time, to a strategy of
liquidation sales through pricing adjustments and/or joint
development arrangements. This change in strategy resulted in an
$85,000,000 writedown in real estate assets for financial reporting
purposes. In December of 1996 all real estate properties, except
for one, were sold for cash and assumption of certain liabilities.
The Company plans to dispose of the single property not included in
this bulk sale.
Realty assets are stated at the lower of historical cost or
estimated net realizable value and include land held for sale
together with related development and carrying costs (interest and
property taxes during development), and equity investments in
realty joint ventures. For financial reporting purposes, realty
assets must be carried at the lower of historical cost or estimated
net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated
costs of completion (to the stage of completion assumed in

Realty Assets, continued
determining the selling price), holding and disposal. The Company
accounts for and reports the value of foreclosed realty assets at
fair value less the estimated costs to sell the assets.
In 1995, non-cash Realty asset transactions included an
increase in both Realty assets and Realty debt in the amount of
$4,038,000 and $3,649,000, respectively, upon the consolidation of
a previously unconsolidated joint venture. Non-cash Realty items
in 1995 also included reductions of $4,677,000 due to forfeitures
of properties and other transactions. The value of foreclosed
assets at December 31, 1995 was $29,773,000. There were no
foreclosed assets at December 31, 1996.
Realty Debt
At December 31, 1996 Realty debt consists primarily of amounts
payable in connection with the single remaining property held by
the Company's real estate operations. Of the two remaining notes,
one has no stated interest rate and the second note bears interest
at the rate of 9%, with all amounts due in 1997. Realty debt at
December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $362,000 and $10,135,000,
respectively. During 1995, the Company recognized $14,409,000 in
extraordinary gains in connection with the settlement of certain
real estate debt for less than book value.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
In January 1996, a subsidiary of the Company's discontinued
operations acquired certain assets of Markel, a manufacturer of a
silicone wire product line. The purchase price was approximately
$4.3 million.
In July 1994, a subsidiary of the Company's discontinued
operations acquired certain assets of the Ball and Socket
Manufacturing Company, Inc., a manufacturer of metal buttons. The
purchase price was approximately $4,800,000, including cash of
$2,100,000, 323,232 shares of the Company's Common stock scheduled
for issuance two years after closing and certain liabilities
assumed and acquisition costs incurred.

The excess of cost over tangible and identifiable intangible
assets acquired, net of amortization at December 31, 1996, 1995,
and 1994 was $41,819,000, $43,392,000, and $45,716,000,
respectively.
Research and Development Costs
Company-sponsored research and development costs from
discontinued operations were $8,694,000, $4,227,000 and $4,304,000
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994,
respectively. The large increase in 1996 expenditures is related
to the development of automotive airbag components and a continued
higher level of expenditures is anticipated in the near future.
For the same periods, customer-sponsored research and development
expenditures were $8,796,000, $10,093,000 and $8,231,000,
respectively.
Other Postemployment Benefits
Health care and life insurance benefits are presently provided
to a small number of retired employees of one of the discontinued
Company's subsidiaries. The cost of retiree health care and life
insurance benefits are minor in amount and are recognized as
benefits are paid. The Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pension" in the first quarter of
1993, as required by the pronouncement. The transition obligation
of approximately $1,474,000 is being amortized over a 20 year
period. The amortization of the unrecognized transition obligation
for the single subsidiary affected by the new pronouncement was
$72,000 in 1996. Current service costs and interest costs for 1996
were approximately $10,000 and $99,000, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Extraordinary Gain (Loss)
During 1996, the Company realized a net loss of $12,052,000
from the early paydown of the 12.25% Senior Discount Debentures.
The loss consists of prepayment premiums and deferred debt cost on
the extinguished portion of the debt. Due to the consolidated tax
position of the Company, there was no tax benefit recognized in
connection with this loss.
During 1995 the Company realized a net gain of $14,409,000
from the retirement of realty debt. The gain represents the
difference between the value of the debt recorded on the books of
the Company and the consideration given and costs incurred to
settle the obligation. Due to the Company's net operating tax loss
position, there is no tax provision in connection with the gain.
Related Party Transactions
In each of the last three years the Company and its
subsidiaries incurred legal fees payable to the law firm of one of
the Company's directors. During 1996, 1995 and 1994 total billings
for the firm were $479,000, $249,000 and $610,000, respectively,
and were for foreign and domestic services relating to litigation
and general corporate matters. In 1996, the Company also paid
$189,000 in consulting fees and related expenses to one of the
Company's directors.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In October 1994 the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which is effective for
transactions entered into in fiscal years that begin after December
15, 1995. Under the provisions of this new pronouncement, the
Company is required to account for such transactions under the
"fair value" based method or the "intrinsic value" based method.
Under the "fair value" based method, compensation cost is measured
at the grant date, based on the value of the award and

<PAGE>
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Discontinued Operations, (continued)
Recently Issued Accounting Standards, continued
is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting
period. Under the "intrinsic value" based method, (present
accounting), compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted
market price of the stock at grant date or other measurement date,
over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. For
stock options, fair value is determined using an option-pricing
model that takes into account the stock price at the grant date,
the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the volatility
of the underlying stock and the expected dividend on it, and the
risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option.
Certain pro-forma disclosures are required when a Company uses the
"intrinsic value" based method instead of the "fair value" based
method. The Company presently accounts for stock based
compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees", and will continue to apply APB No. 25
for purposes of determining net income, as provided for in the
recent pronouncement. The Company has presented in the notes to
the financial statements the pro forma and other disclosures
required by SFAS No. 123. (Also see "Stock Option Plans" under the
caption "Benefit Plans" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements).
Other pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting

The disposition of substantially all of the assets of the
Realty segment, the settlement of the dispute with TRW regarding,
among other matters, royalties from the Airbag Royalty segment, and
the cessation of such royalties along with the significant increase
during the last several years in the volume and profitability of
the Company's stainless steel operations prompted a
reclassification of the Company's segments of operations at the end
of 1996. The steel operations were segregated into a separate
Stainless Steel Products segment and removed from the Industrial
Products segment. The Specialty Products segment was combined with
those operations remaining in the Industrial Products Segment. All
prior periods were restated to reflect the reclassifications.
The Company is a diversified manufacturer of a wide range of
proprietary and other specialized products for defense, industrial
and commercial applications. Through its Government Products and
Services segment, the Company manufactures an extensive array of
propellant devices and electronic components for defense systems
and commercial applications and provides naval architectural and
marine engineering services. The Company has participated in the
rapidly expanding market for automotive airbags through its royalty
agreement with TRW, which provided the Company with a quarterly
royalty payment for any airbag manufactured and sold by TRW
worldwide and for any other airbag installed in a vehicle
manufactured or sold in North America. The royalties ceased upon
receipt of a settlement from TRW Inc. (See "Litigation-TRW Inc" in

Company adjusted its strategy of selling properties to end users in
an orderly process over time, to a strategy of liquidation sales
through pricing adjustments and/or joint development arrangements.
This change in strategy resulted in an $85,000,000 writedown in
real estate assets for financial reporting purposes. In December
of 1996 all real estate properties, except for one, were sold for
cash and assumption of certain liabilities. The Company plans to
dispose of the single property not included in this bulk sale.
Other Matters
The Company's United States discontinued operations had export
sales of $24,058,000, $20,354,000 and $15,932,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Substantially all facilities and operations of the Company's
operations are located within the United States. The Company
operates a steel distribution system located in Canada with sales
for the year ended December 31, 1996 and total assets at December
31, 1996 of $15,208,000 and $9,300,000, respectively.
Foreign exchange losses included in earnings for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were not material. The
foreign currency translation adjustment for continuing operations
included in stockholders' equity decreased from $(496,000) at
December 31, 1995 to $(528,000) at December 31, 1996.
Sales between segments are not significant and have been
eliminated. Operating income is total revenue less operating
expenses and excludes general Corporate expenses, non-segment
interest income and interest expense. Interest income associated
with segment assets is included in segment operations income.
Corporate assets consist principally of cash and cash equivalents,
notes receivable, income taxes receivable and a building.

Segment Operations, (continued)
Other Matters, continued
The government funded components and firm industrial contracts
at December 31, 1996 and 1995 for continuing and discontinued
operations totaled $137,100,000 and $133,500,000, respectively.
The Company's total backlog, including funded and unfunded
components, was approximately $447,700,000 as of December 31, 1996
and $503,300,000 as of December 31, 1995. Approximately
$107,133,000 of the government funded and firm industrial backlog
and $144,627,000 of the total backlog outstanding at December 31,
1996 is expected to be completed or shipped during 1997.
The term "funded" used herein refers to the aggregate revenue
remaining to be earned at a given time under (a) contracts held by
the Company (excluding renewals or extensions thereof, which are at
the discretion of the customer) to the extent of the funded (i.e.,
appropriated by Congress and allotted to the contract by the
procuring Government agency) amounts thereunder, and (b) "task
orders" or "delivery orders" issued to the Company under contracts
which provide that the customer is obligated to pay only for
services rendered pursuant to specific (funded) task orders and is
not obligated to issue additional task orders or to pay the
estimated total contract price. The term "unfunded" used herein
refers to the portion of the Company's total backlog that
represents the excess of the stated value of the Company's executed
contracts over the amounts funded by the customer for such
contracts including unexercised options.

TALLEY INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - General
- ----------------
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
financial position as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and
the results of operations for the nine-month periods ended September
30, 1997 and 1996, and cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity
for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Such
results, however, may not be indicative of the results for the full
year.
For additional information regarding significant accounting
policies, and accounting matters applicable to the Company, reference
should be made to the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the
year ended December 31, 1996. (Also, see Note 9 - Discontinued
Operations).
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------
As more fully explained in the Discontinued Operations footnote
to the financial statements, the Company, subsequent to the original
issuance of its financial statements for the period ended September
30, 1997, has been involved in transactions which will result in a
merger. In connection with such merger, all but one segment of the
Company's business is being sold and accordingly have been reflected
as discontinued operations in the restated financial statements.
Note 3 - Inventories
- --------------------
Inventories are summarized as follows (in thousands):
September 30, December 31,
1997 1996
------------- ------------
Raw materials and supplies $ 4,925 $ 4,022
Work-in-process 4,267 4,355
Finished goods 19,155 18,849
------- -------
$28,347 $27,226
======= =======
F-52
<PAGE>
Note 4 - Earnings Per Share
- ---------------------------
Earnings per share of Common stock and Common stock equivalents
has been computed on the basis of the average number of Common shares
outstanding during each period. The average number of shares has been
adjusted for assumed exercise at the beginning of the period (or date
of grant, if later) for any dilutive stock options, with funds
obtained thereby used to purchase shares of the Company's Common stock
at the average price during the period, and assumed conversion of all
dilutive convertible Preferred stock. Common stock equivalents that
are anti-dilutive are excluded from the computation of earnings per
share and earnings are reduced by the dividend requirements on such
equivalents.
Note 5 - Acquisition and Dispositions
- -------------------------------------
In May 1997, a subsidiary of the Company's discontinued
operations sold certain assets of the connector product line.
Proceeds include a note receivable for $1.9 million and cash of $.2
million.
In March 1997, the Company sold the assets of its Canadian
steel distributor. Cash proceeds from the sale were $4.1 million.
The purchaser assumed $2.3 million of liabilities.
In January 1996, a subsidiary of the Company's discontinued
operations acquired certain assets of a manufacturer of a silicone
wire product line. The purchase price was approximately $4.3 million.
Note 6 - Preferred Stock Conversions
- ------------------------------------
On February 16, 1996, the Company issued 1,905,849 shares of
Talley Common stock in connection with the conversion of all of the
Company's Series D Preferred stock, 702,919 more shares than
originally designated. The conversion automatically extinguished all
unpaid dividends on that stock, totaling approximately $2.6 million
as of December 31, 1995.
On April 22, 1996, pursuant to a conversion offer with respect
to the Company's Series B and Series A Preferred stock, approximately
798,000 shares or approximately 52% of the outstanding shares of
Series B and approximately 53,000 shares or approximately 79% of the
Series A were converted to Common stock. Series B holders who
converted received 2.5 shares of Common stock for each outstanding
Series B share. Series A holders who converted received 2.0 shares
of Common stock for each outstanding Series A share. Common stock
issued of approximately 1,995,000 shares in connection with the
F-53
<PAGE>
conversion of Series B Preferred stock and approximately 106,000 in
connection with the conversion of Series A Preferred stock was
approximately 948,000 and 56,000 more shares than issuable under the
stated conversion terms of the respective series of preferred stock.
Prior to the conversion there were approximately 1,548,000 shares of
Series B outstanding and 67,000 shares of Series A outstanding. The
conversion automatically extinguished all unpaid dividends on the
Series B and Series A shares that were converted totaling
approximately $4.0 million ($5 per share) on the Series B Preferred
stock and totaling approximately $0.3 million ($5.50 per share) on the
Series A Preferred stock at March 31, 1996.
The transactions did not impact the net earnings of the Company
in 1996, but "earnings applicable to common shares (after deduction
of preferred stock dividends)," as supplementally disclosed by the
Company, and the "earnings per share of common stock and common stock
equivalent share" were reduced. The excess of the fair value of the
common shares transferred in the transactions by the Company, over the
fair value of the common shares issuable pursuant to the stated
conversion terms of the preferred stock, were subtracted from net
earnings in the calculations of net earnings available to common
shareholders and earnings per share.
Note 7 - Bonds Repurchased and Covenant Defeasance
- --------------------------------------------------
During 1996, the Company repurchased $124.0 million aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Discount Debentures with an accreted
value of $97.4 million at the repurchase dates. The purchase price
of the debentures was $106.0 million, including accrued interest and
prepayment premiums. The Company recognized $12.1 million in
extraordinary losses in connection with the repurchases of the Senior
Discount Debentures. This amount represents the prepayment premium
and deferred debt cost on the extinguished debt. During the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, the Company repurchased an additional
$.3 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Discount
Debentures.
An investment was made in U.S. Treasury obligations and placed
in trust in June 1997 to effect a covenant defeasance of the remaining
$1.9 million principal amount of outstanding debentures. For financial
reporting purposes, the assets held in trust are included in the
assets of the Company and the outstanding debentures continue to be
reflected as outstanding debt. The debentures will be redeemed on
October 15, 1998, which is the earliest optional redemption date.
F-54
<PAGE>
Note 8 - Repurchase of Common Stock
- -----------------------------------
In late 1996 and early 1997, the Board of Directors approved
the repurchase of up to 950,000 shares of the Company's Common stock,
on the open market or in negotiated transactions, from time to
time, at prices deemed appropriate by the Company's officers, with
such shares to be retired as authorized but unissued shares. At
December 31, 1996, the total number of shares of common stock
repurchased was 277,300 shares for a total cost of approximately $2.1
million. During the first half of 1997, another 510,367 shares were
repurchased for a total cost of approximately $4.3 million.
Note 9 - Discontinued Operations
- --------------------------------
On December 5, 1997, Score Acquisition Corp., (Purchaser) a
Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Carpenter
Technology Corporation (Carpenter), accepted for payment pursuant to
a cash tender offer, approximately 74.4% (measured by the aggregate
voting power on a fully diluted basis) of the issued and outstanding
voting securities of the Company. The tender offer was made by
Purchaser pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September
25, 1997, among Carpenter, Purchaser and the Company. Pursuant to the
terms of the Merger Agreement the voting securities of the Company not
acquired in the tender offer will be acquired in a second step merger
at the same per share price for each class of securities as in the
tender offer. The stockholders of the Company will vote on the merger
at a special meeting of stockholders to be held on February 19, 1998.
Because the approval of the holders of at least a majority of all
outstanding voting securities is sufficient to approve the merger,
Purchaser can cause the merger to occur without the affirmative vote
of any other holders of voting securities. Carpenter and Purchaser
have agreed pursuant to the Merger Agreement to vote all of their
voting securities in favor of the merger. Carpenter has adopted a plan
to dispose of all of the Company's operations, other than its
Stainless Steel Products segment, accordingly all financial statements
and related information for the period ending September 30, 1997 and
earlier have been restated to reflect all operations other than the
stainless steel operations, as discontinued operations. Based on the
Company's estimate of future results of operations through the
estimated disposition dates of all operations being sold, taking into
consideration the costs of disposal and the proceeds expected from the
sales of each operation, no overall loss is anticipated. The amounts
the Company will ultimately realize may differ from the estimates made
at the time the Company adopted the plan of disposition.

Financial Position, (continued)
------------------------------
Interest expense has been allocated to the discontinued
operations based on the ratio of net assets of the discontinued
operations to the sum of consolidated net assets and debt not directly
attributable to other operations. Revenue and earnings for
discontinued operations in 1996 were significantly impacted by the
receipt of $156,449,000 from TRW Inc. in satisfaction of the court's
judgement relating to the Company's airbag royalties dispute and
certain other matters.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet reflects
the acquisition of the remaining 25% of Talley through the Talley
Merger as if it had occurred on December 31, 1997. The unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income for the year ended
June 30, 1997 and for the six months ended December 31, 1997 reflect
the Talley Merger and the Other Acquisitions as if they had occurred
at the beginning of the year ended June 30, 1997. The pro forma
information is based on the historical financial statements of Carpenter
and Talley after giving effect to the Talley Merger and the Other
Acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting. Under this method of
PF-1<PAGE>
accounting, the aggregate purchase price is allocated to assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
values. For purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Financial Statements, the purchase price for Talley has
been allocated based primarily on preliminary information. The
final allocation of the purchase price will be determined within
a reasonable time after consummation of such transaction and will
be based on a complete evaluation of the assets acquired,
including net assets held for sale, and liabilities assumed.
Accordingly, the information presented herein may differ from the
final purchase price allocation. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Financial Statements also reflect assumptions
and adjustments deemed appropriate by Carpenter, which are
described in the accompanying notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Financial Statements.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined information does not
purport to be indicative of Carpenter's financial position or
results of operations had the Talley Merger and the Other
Acquisitions actually occurred on the dates presented nor is it
necessarily indicative of Carpenter's future financial position
or future operating results. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with
the separate audited historical consolidated financial statements
of Carpenter and the notes thereto set forth in Carpenter's 1997
Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the historical consolidated
financial statements of Talley and the notes thereto set forth in
Item 7 of this Form 8-K/A.
In the opinion of Carpenter's management, all adjustments have
been made that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma
data.

Carpenter Technology Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Financial Statements
BALANCE SHEET ADJUSTMENT:
(A) Adjustments to record the acquisition of the minority interest in Talley,
including a cash payment of $45.1 million to be paid upon completion of
the Talley merger, and to reflect the allocation of the purchase price
to the fair value of net assets acquired, resulting in goodwill of
$15.0 million. The acquisition will be financed through additional
borrowings under a revolving credit agreement.
INCOME STATEMENT ADJUSTMENTS:
(B) Adjustments to provisions for depreciation and amortization for
estimated fair value adjustments related to property, plant and
equipment, depreciated over 15 years on a straight-line basis, goodwill,
amortized over 40 years on a straight-line basis, and other intangible
assets (trademarks and tradenames), amortized over 30 years on a
straight-line basis.
(C) Additional interest expense on borrowings resulting from the purchase of
Talley. Interest is assumed at an average rate of 6.1%, the approximate
current short-term borrowing rate of Carpenter.
(D) Reflects the income tax effects related to pro forma adjustments. The
adjustment to income taxes reflects the application of the estimated
tax rate on a pro forma basis to income (loss) before income taxes
for historical and pro forma adjustment amounts.
(E) Adjustments to eliminate items related to the net assets held for sale.
(F) Adjustment to eliminate sales and cost of sales between Carpenter and
Talley.
(G) Adjustments to present Talley's consolidated statement of earnings for
the year ended June 30, 1997. The adjustments reflect the net
differences between the amounts for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and amounts for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
(H) Cost savings benefits from synergies to be derived from the acquisition
of the Stainless Steel Products segment of Talley, which may be
significant, are not reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Financial Statements. There can be no assurance, however, as
to the amount of cost savings benefits, if any, that will be realized as
a result of such acquisition.
