                                     ------

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
- - -----------------
      Amcast Industrial Corporation, an Ohio corporation organized in 1869, and
its subsidiaries (called collectively "Amcast" or the "company") are engaged in
the business of producing fabricated metal products, valves and controls, and
cast and tubular metal products, in a variety of shapes, sizes, and metals for
sale to end users directly and through sales representatives and distributor
organizations and to original equipment manufacturers.  Manufacturing
facilities are located in five states, primarily in the eastern half of the
United States.  The company's business operations are conducted through three
divisions and nine wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Its subsidiaries include Amcast
Industrial Ltd., an Ontario, Canada corporation; Elkhart Products Corporation
(Elkhart), an Indiana corporation; WheelTek, Inc. (WheelTek), an Indiana
corporation; Amcast Industrial Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation;
Amcast Automotive, Inc. (formerly Midwest Marketing Services Corporation), a
Michigan corporation; Amcast Industrial Financial Services, Inc., an Ohio
corporation; Amcast Industrial Sales Corporation, a U.S. Virgin Islands
corporation; Amcast Casting Technologies, Inc., an Indiana Corporation and
Amcast Precision Products, Inc., a California corporation.  During fiscal 1992,
Amcast and Izumi Industries, Ltd. of Japan, formed a joint venture, Casting
Technology Corporation.  Amcast owns 60% of the joint venture.  In 1994, the 
joint venture was converted to a partnership, Casting Technology Company.

      During the fourth quarter of 1993, the company elected early adoption,
effective September 1, 1992, of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions".  This statement requires companies to record a liability for
employees' accumulated postretirement benefit costs and to recognize on-going
expenses on an accrual basis.  The company recognized a $6,159 pretax
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle, which represents the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of September 1, 1992.  The
effect on net income and shareholders' equity was $3,942, or $.47 per share.
The impact on fiscal year 1993 operating results, due to the adoption of SFAS
106, was not material.  See Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance
footnote of the company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended
August 31, 1994, Exhibit 13.1, page 52 herein.

      Effective August 31, 1992, the company's Board of Directors approved a
plan to divest Stanley G. Flagg & Co. (Flagg), a manufacturer of iron and brass
pipe fittings, previously reported as part of the Flow Control Products
segment.  This action was prompted by unprofitable operations that were plagued
by industry overcapacity and weak demand in the iron pipe fittings product
line.  The company made a pretax provision of $22 million based on the expected
proceeds of this divestiture.  A significant portion of the Flagg assets,
relating to the iron and pole line hardware businesses, have been sold and,
although operating losses, until disposition, are greater than originally
estimated, the loss on the sale of assets and estimated liabilities are
expected to be less than the amounts initially provided.  Annual sales and
results of the remaining brass business are not material to the company.  At
August 31, 1994, the company believes that it has provided adequately for the
effect of the disposal of the remaining assets of Flagg and the operating
losses through the date of disposal.  See Discontinued Operation footnote of
the company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended August 31, 1994,
Exhibit 13.1, page 42 herein.

      The company operates in two business segments--1) Flow Control Products
and (2) Engineered Components.  Information concerning the net sales, operating
profit and identifiable assets of each segment for fiscal years 1992 through
1994 appears under "Business Segments" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in the company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended
August 31, 1994, Exhibit 13.1, page 56 herein.  Amcast has no foreign
manufacturing operations and export sales to customers in foreign countries are
not material.

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS (cont'd)
- - -----------------
FLOW CONTROL PRODUCTS
- - ---------------------
      The Flow Control Products segment (Flow Control) includes the business of
the Superior Valve division (Superior Valve), the Elkhart subsidiary, and
Amcast Industrial Ltd.  Superior Valve, acquired in October 1986, manufactures
valves and accessories used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems, and
compressed gas cylinder valves for the welding, specialty, carbonic, and
medical gas industries.  Elkhart, acquired in July 1983, produces wrot copper
fittings for use in residential and commercial water systems and markets bronze
pipe fittings and valves.  Amcast Industrial Ltd. is the common Canadian
marketing arm for Amcast's Flow Control segment manufacturing units.

          The company's Flow Control business is a leading supplier of pipe
fittings for the industrial, commercial, and residential construction markets,
valves utilized in air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, and industrial
compressed gas applications.  These products are sold through distributors and
wholesalers.  Shipments are made by truck from company locations directly to
customers.  The competition is comprised of a number of manufacturers of parts
for air conditioning, refrigeration, and plumbing systems, gas meters, and
valves and controls.  The company believes that competition in this segment is
based on a number of factors including product quality, service, delivery, and
value.

      Most of the Flow Control business is based on customer purchase orders
for their current product requirements and such orders are filled from company
inventory.  Orders are not considered firm beyond a 90-day period.

      See Properties at Item 2 of this report for information on the company's
facilities which operate in this segment.

ENGINEERED COMPONENTS
- - ---------------------
      The Engineered Components segment produces cast and fabricated metal
products principally for sale to original equipment manufacturers in the
transportation, construction, air conditioning, refrigeration, and
aviation/defense industries.  The company's manufacturing processes involve the
melting of raw materials for casting into metal products having the
configuration, flexibility, strength, weight, and finish required for the
customer's end use.  The company also custom fabricates copper and aluminum
tubing parts.  The company manufactures products on a high-volume,
medium-volume, and specialized basis and its metal capabilities include 
aluminum, steel, brass, and copper.  Products manufactured by this segment
include castings for suspension, air conditioning and anti-lock braking
systems, master cylinders, differential carriers and cast aluminum wheels for
use on automobiles and light trucks; and parts for use in heating and air 
conditioning systems. The company also designs and manufactures close-tolerance
aluminum and specialty steel investment castings and related items for sale to 
aviation and aerospace companies.  Delivery is mostly by truck from Amcast 
locations directly to customers.

      Amcast is not solely dependent on a single customer.  However, a
significant portion of the company's Engineered Components business is directly
or indirectly dependent on the major automobile manufacturers.  The company's
net sales to various divisions of General Motors Corporation in fiscal 1994
were $89.3 million.  No other customer accounted for more than 10% of
consolidated sales in fiscal 1994.

      The company's non-aerospace business of the Engineered Components segment
is on a "blanket" order basis and is generally based on supplying a percentage
of the customer's annual requirements for a particular part.  Customers issue
firm releases and shipping schedules each month against their blanket orders
depending on their current needs.  As a result, order backlog varies from month
to month and is not considered firm beyond a 30-day period.  Amcast believes
that price, product quality, and delivery are the principal bases of
competition within the industry.

ENGINEERED COMPONENTS (cont'd)
- - ---------------------
      The order backlog of the aviation and aerospace business was $23.4 
million at August 31, 1994, and $25.5 million at August 31, 1993.  Backlog at 
August 31, 1994, is expected to result in revenue of $12.3 million during 
fiscal 1995.

      See Properties at Item 2 of this report for information on the company's
facilities which operate in this segment.

GENERAL INFORMATION
- - -------------------
      Raw materials essential to the business are purchased from suppliers
located in the general vicinity of each operating facility.  Availability of
these materials is judged to be adequate.  The company does not anticipate any
material shortage that will alter production schedules during the coming year.

      Amcast owns a number of patents and patent applications relating to the
design of its products.  While Amcast considers, in the aggregate, these
patents are important to operations, it believes that the successful
manufacture and sale of its products generally depend more on the company's
technological know-how and manufacturing skills.

      Capital expenditures related to compliance with federal, state, and local
environmental protection regulations for fiscal 1995 and 1996 are not expected
to be material.  Management believes that operating costs related to
environmental protection will not have a materially adverse effect on future
earnings or the company's competitive position in the industry.

      The number of persons employed by the continuing operations of Amcast
averaged 2,100 in fiscal 1994 and 1,900 in both fiscal 1993 and 1992.

      No material portion of Amcast's business is seasonal.

      The land and building in Rancho Cucamonga, California, are leased under a
5-year lease, with a requirement that Amcast purchase the property at the fair
market price at the lease expiration in 1997.  The land and building in
Burlington, Ontario, are leased under a 5-year lease expiring in 1995, with an
option to renew the lease for two successive 5-year terms.  The land in
Richmond and Gas City, Indiana is leased under 99 year leases, expiring in
2091.  The Corporate offices are being leased for five years expiring in 1998.
The Amcast Automotive offices are being leased for five years expiring in the
year 2000, with an option for a five year renewal.  All other properties are
owned by the company.  The lease at the former Miami, Florida facility was
terminated during fiscal year 1994 and operations were transferred to the
Rancho Cucamonga, California facility.

      A portion of the land and building at Fayetteville, Arkansas is subject
to a mortgage in favor of Bank One, Dayton, NA, to secure the payment of a
$5,050,000 bond issue dated December 1, 1991, and maturing December 1, 2004.

      The company's operating facilities are in good condition and are suitable
for the company's purposes.  Utilization of capacity is dependent upon customer
demand.  During fiscal 1994, productive capacity utilization by division ranged
from 58% to 90%, and averaged 78% of the company's total capacity.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- - --------------------------
      The company is subject to a range of federal, state and local laws and
regulations governing the discharge of material into the environment or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.  The company
periodically makes capital expenditures to meet the requirements of these laws
and regulations; however, the company believes that the anticipated
expenditures for such purposes in the foreseeable future will not be material
to its financial position or its competitive position.

      The company, as is normal for the industry in which it operates, is
subject to periodic environmental site investigations and inquiries.  The
company has been identified as a potentially responsible party by various state
agencies and by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980, as amended, for costs associated with eight U.S. EPA led multi-party
"superfund" sites and three state environmental agency led remediation sites.
While the company could be found jointly and severally liable at a number of
these sites, the company, in each case, is contesting any responsibility or
believes that its liability will not be material because of the nature of the
waste involved or the limited amount of waste generated by the company which
was allegedly disposed of at these sites.  With respect to one such site
located in Ironton, Ohio, another potentially responsible party has brought an
action entitled ALLIED-SIGNAL, INC., V. AMCAST INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION, in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Western Division, Case
No. C-3-92-013, seeking contribution from the company for a portion of the
total response and remediation costs, which the plaintiff has claimed may
exceed $20 million.  The company believes that its ultimate equitable share, if
any, of any liability for cleanup costs at this site will not be material.

      The company also is a defendant in a lawsuit entitled PUBLIC INTEREST
RESEARCH GROUP, INC., ET AL. V. STANLEY G. FLAGG & CO., ET AL., in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Case No. 89-2137,
which alleges that the content of zinc and other minerals in the waste water
discharged at the company's Stowe, Pennsylvania, facility exceeded the levels
allowed under the applicable permit during the period from October 1984 through
October 1988.  The suit seeks the assessment of penalties; however, the company
believes that penalties, if any, should not be material because the discharge
currently is in compliance with the permit.

Article III.   Benefits

               3.1      Qualified Plan Pension - At the time of retirement, all

                        calculation made as to the amount their benefits

                        Beneficiary under the Qualified Plan is reduced
                        because of any provision of federal, state, or local
                        law from the amount which would otherwise have been
                        payable under the Qualified Plan, the Participant or
                        Participant's Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive
                        a pension under the Plan in an amount which, when
                        added to the amount the Participant or Participant's

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

($ in thousands except per share amounts)

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
- - --------------------------------

   Net sales were $271,856, $222,643, and $236,805 in 1994, 1993, and 1992,
respectively. In 1994, sales increased 22.1% due to a strong plumbing market
and increased demand for aluminum wheels and automotive components. Sales
decreased 6.0% in 1993, primarily due to lower unit demand for aluminum wheels
in the Engineered Components segment.

   The gross profit percent was 21.8%, 22.6%, and 22.1% in 1994, 1993, and
1992, respectively. Gross profit decreased as a percent of sales in 1994,
primarily due to the underutilization of two recently completed automotive
parts plants. The higher gross profit percent in 1993, resulted from improved
pricing for copper plumbing products and lower costs for copper used in many of
the company's flow control products.  These improvements were partially offset
by reduced unit volumes for copper plumbing products and lower demand for
aluminum wheels.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales, were
13.3% in 1994, 14.2% in 1993, and 13.1% in 1992. Expenses decreased as a
percent of sales in 1994 as sales increased 22.1% while expenses increased
14.4% resulting from higher sales and marketing costs and, expenditures to
support business expansion activities. The primary reason for the increase, as
a percent of sales, in 1993 was due to lower sales volumes compared to 1992 as
sales decreased 6.0%.

   Interest expense was $1,594, $1,266, and $2,923 in 1994, 1993, and 1992,
respectively. Average borrowings were down in 1994, however, interest expense
was higher compared to 1993 when interest was capitalized during the
construction period of two new manufacturing facilities.  Interest rates were
slightly higher in 1994. In 1993, interest expense declined as a result of
lower average borrowings during the year.

                                     -30-

   Other income was $441, $1,187, and $388 in 1994, 1993, and 1992,
respectively. Other income was higher in 1993 compared to 1994 and 1992,
primarily due to the gain realized in the fourth quarter on disposal of a
facility.

   The effective tax rates for 1994, 1993, and 1992 were 34.5%, 36.0%, and
36.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate decreased in 1994 compared to 1993
primarily due to the tax benefit derived from the conversion of Castings
Technology Corporation, a 60% owned joint venture, to a partnership.

   During the fourth quarter of 1993, the company elected early adoption,
effective September 1, 1992, of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions". This statement requires companies to record a liability for
employees' accumulated postretirement benefit costs and to recognize on-going
expenses on an accrual basis. The company recognized the $6,159 pre-tax
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle, which represents the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of September 1, 1992. The
effect on net income and shareholders' equity was $3,942, or $.47 per share.
The impact on 1993 operating results, due to the adoption of SFAS 106, was not
material.

   Effective August 31, 1992, the company's Board of Directors approved a plan
to divest Stanley G. Flagg & Co. (Flagg), a manufacturer of iron and brass pipe
fittings, previously reported as part of the Flow Control Products segment.
This action was prompted by unprofitable operations that were plagued by
industry over capacity and weak demand in the iron pipe fittings product line.
The company made a pretax provision of $22 million based upon the expected
proceeds of this divestiture. A significant portion of the Flagg assets,
relating to the iron and pole line hardware businesses, have been sold and,
although operating losses until disposition are greater than originally
estimated, the loss on the sale of assets and estimated liabilities are

expected to be less than the amounts initially provided. Annual sales and
results of the remaining brass business are not material to the company. At
August 31, 1994, the company believes that it has provided adequately for the
effect of the disposal of the remaining assets of Flagg and the operating
losses through the date of disposal. See discontinued operation footnote on
page 24.

FLOW CONTROL PRODUCTS
- - ---------------------

   Flow Control Products sales were $124,090, $110,096, and $108,306 in 1994,
1993, and 1992, respectively. Operating profits were $19,849, $15,703, and
$10,765 in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. In 1994, sales increased 12.7%
while operating profits rose 26.4% due to improved margins resulting from cost
reductions and increase sales volume. In 1993, sales increased 1.7% and
operating profits rose 45.9% due to improved margins for copper plumbing
products which was partially offset by a decrease in the unit volume.

ENGINEERED COMPONENTS
- - ---------------------

   Engineered Components sales were $147,766, $112,547, and $128,499 in 1994,
1993, and 1992, respectively. Operating profits were $10,034, $8,228, and
$14,780 in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. In 1994, sales increased 31.3%
while operating profits increased 21.9%. The increase in sales was primarily
due to the strong customer demand for aluminum wheels and other aluminum
automotive components. Higher operating profits, primarily from wheel sales,
were partially offset by the underutilization of two new automotive parts
plants. In 1993, sales declined 12.4%, primarily due to lower demand for
aluminum wheels and deferred production schedules requested by aerospace
customers. These reductions were partially offset by increased sales of
aluminum brake and suspension system components. Operating profit declined
44.3% in 1993, primarily due to the lower sales volumes and one-time expenses
associated with consolidation of the company's California operations.

LIQUIDITY
- - ---------

   Net cash provided by operations was $28,564, $17,778, and $13,283 for the
years 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. In each of the three years, cash was
primarily provided by income from operations, and depreciation and
amortization.

   Net cash used by investing activities was $7,834, $10,941, and $23,551 for
the years 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. Investments were made primarily
in additions to property, plant, and equipment.

   Net cash (used) provided by financing activities were $(7,567), $(7,726),
and $11,832 for the years 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. In 1994 and 1993,
financing activities used cash primarily to reduce long-term debt and pay cash
dividends. In 1992, cash was provided by the sale of common stock, and these
proceeds were used to reduce long-term debt and pay cash dividends.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -----------------

   Capital expenditures were $15,596, $13,990, and $21,831 in 1994, 1993, and
1992, respectively. In each year, the expenditures were funded by cash provided
by operations and, additionally in 1992, with proceeds from the sale of common
stock. At August 31, 1994, the company had $5,199 of commitments for capital
expenditures to be made in 1995, primarily for the Engineered Components
segment.

   Book value per common share at August 31, 1994, was $13.02, compared to 
$11.81 at August 31, 1993.

   The ratio of long-term debt as a percent of capital was 11.2% at August 31,
1994, down from 15.3% at August 31, 1993.

   The company has $136,726 of unused borrowing capacity under the most
restrictive debt covenant relating to a credit agreement which went into effect
September 30, 1992. One million preferred shares and 6.5 million common shares
are authorized and available for future issuance. Management believes the
company has adequate resources to meet its future needs.

   Contingency.  The company is subject to a range of federal, state and local
laws and regulations governing the discharge of material into the environment
or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. The company
periodically makes capital expenditures to meet the requirements of these laws
and regulations; however, the company believes that the anticipated
expenditures for such purposes in the foreseeable future will not be material
to its financial position or its competitive position.

   The company, as is normal for the industry in which it operates, is subject
to periodic environmental site investigations and inquiries. The company has
been identified as a potentially responsible party by various state agencies
and by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as amended, for costs associated with eight U.S. EPA led multi-party
"superfund" sites and three state environmental agency led remediation sites.
While the company could be found jointly and severally liable at a number of
these sites, the company, in each case, is contesting any responsibility or
believes that its liability will not be material because of the nature of the
waste involved or the limited amount of waste generated by the company which
was allegedly disposed of at these sites. With respect to one such site located
in Ironton, Ohio, another potentially responsible party has brought an action
seeking contribution from the company for a portion of the total response and
remediation costs, which the plaintiff has claimed may exceed $20 million. The
company believes that its ultimate equitable share, if any, of any liability
for cleanup costs at this site will not be material.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
($ in thousands except per share data)

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS include the accounts of the company and
its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS include amounts on deposit with financial
institutions and investments maturing within 90 days.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $147
at August 31, 1994, and $172 at August 31, 1993.

INVENTORIES are valued at the lower of cost or market using the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) methods.

PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT are carried at cost. Expenditures for
significant renewals and improvements are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance
are charged to expense as incurred.

DEPRECIATION is computed on the straight-line method. The amortization periods
represent the estimated useful lives of the assets.

DEFERRED INCOME TAXES are provided for temporary differences between financial
and tax reporting in accordance with the liability method under the provisions
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".

NET INCOME PER SHARE is computed on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each year. The exercise of outstanding options, which
are common stock equivalents, would cause no material dilution.

DISCONTINUED OPERATION
Effective August 31, 1992, the company adopted a plan to sell Stanley G. Flagg
& Co. (Flagg), a part of the Flow Control segment.  Accordingly, Flagg is
reported as a discontinued operation.

   Net assets of the discontinued operation at August 31, 1994 and 1993 consist
of current assets and the estimated net realizable value of plant, property,
and equipment amounting to $13,656 and $24,024 respectively, less current
liabilities of $1,267 and $4,044 respectively.  Annual sales of the remaining
brass business are less than 4% of consolidated sales and operating results are
nominal.

   In 1992, the estimated loss on the disposal of Flagg was $14,520, net of
taxes of $7,480, consisting of an estimated loss on disposal of the business of
$12,342 and a provision of $2,178 for anticipated operating losses until
disposal.  Summary operating results of the discontinued operation for the
fiscal year ended August 31, 1992 are as follows:

                                                                 1992

                                               =======     =======

   Properties held for resale reflect the estimated realizable values of the
fixed assets of closed facilities.  The fair market value of technical and
product programs, as determined by an independent appraiser, were recognized at
the date of acquisition of certain businesses.  The excess of cost over the
fair market value of the businesses acquired is reflected as goodwill. These
assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 and 40 years.
Accumulated amortization at August 31, 1994 and 1993 was $8,223 and $7,347,
respectively.

   Senior notes consist of two agreements with interest rates of 9.32% and 9%.
The notes call for periodic principal payments and mature June 5, 1996, and
September 15, 1999, respectively.

   Industrial revenue bonds consist of various issues at fixed and variable
interest rates, ranging from 2.5% to 5%. These bonds call for principal
payments at various dates through 2004.

   The company has a $40,000 credit agreement extending through September 1,
1997.  There were no outstanding borrowings under this credit agreement at
August 31, 1994.  Interest on borrowings under this agreement is based, at the
company's option, on the prime rate, the CD rate plus a premium, or the
euro-dollar rate plus a premium. Premiums are subject to company performance
measured on a quarterly basis, and range from 1/2% to 7/8%. A commitment fee of
1/4% is payable on the unused portion of the credit line.

   Debt covenants require the company to maintain certain working capital, debt
and equity ratios. Other provisions limit the aggregate amount of certain
defined payments including purchase of company stock and cash dividends. At
August 31, 1994, all retained earnings were available for the payment of
dividends.

   The obligations in connection with industrial revenue bonds and certain
notes included in long-term debt are collateralized by property, plant, and
equipment with a net book value of $3,673 and $4,813 at August 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively.

   The company has short-term lines of credit totaling $25,000. These lines
were unused at August 31, 1994 and require no material compensating balances or
commitment fees.

   Long-term debt maturities for each of the next five years are $4,019 in
1995, $4,023 in 1996, $1,105 in 1997, $1,107 in 1998, and $1,050 in 1999.

   No interest was capitalized in 1994. Capitalized interest was $878 and $354 
in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Interest paid was $1,705, $2,230, and $3,488 in
1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.

DEFERRED LIABILITIES
Deferred liabilities include the noncurrent portion of retirement,
compensation, medical benefits, and estimated future payouts under the
company's self-insured workers' compensation program. These liabilities
primarily relate to the company's provisions for restructuring operations, the
discontinued operation, and postretirement benefits other than pensions.
Significant noncurrent restructuring liabilities for medical and workers'
compensation costs were $2,800 and $4,100 at August 31, 1994, and August 31,
1993, respectively; consolidation and disposition of operations were $2,100 and
$5,600, respectively at August 31, 1994 and August 31, 1993. Postretirement
benefits other than pensions were $5,564 and $6,159 at August 31, 1994 and
August 31, 1993, respectively. These accruals are not deductible for income tax
purposes until paid and are therefore, accounted for as temporary differences
in the company's tax provision.

STOCK OPTIONS
The company has two active stock option plans.

   The 1981 Stock Option Plan was approved by shareholders of the company on
December 16, 1981 and amended by the shareholders on December 18, 1985.  The
plan provided for the granting of a maximum of 400,000 options to purchase
common shares to key employees of the company and its subsidiaries.  The option
price per share may not be less than the fair market value of a share on the
date the option is granted, and the maximum term of an option may not exceed
ten years.  Options granted under the plan may include related stock
appreciation rights.  Granting of options under this plan expired on October
13, 1991.

   The 1989 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders of the company on
December 14, 1988 and amended by the shareholders on December 9, 1992.  The
plan provides for the granting of a maximum of 800,000 stock options, stock
appreciation rights, performance awards, and restricted stock awards to key
employees of the company and its subsidiaries. The option price per share may
not be less than the fair market value of a share on the date the option is
granted, and the maximum term of an option may not exceed ten years.

   The 1989 Director Stock Option Plan was approved by the shareholders of the
company on December 14, 1988.  The plan provides for the granting of a maximum
of 120,000 nonqualified stock options.  The option price per share is equal to
the fair market value of a company share on the date of grant.  The term of
each option is five years, and an option first becomes exercisable one year
after the date of grant.  Under the plan, each person serving as a director of
the company on the first business day of January of each year, who is not
employed by the company, i.e., an "outside director," will automatically be
granted 1,500 options.

   Information regarding the company's stock option plans is summarized below:

LEASES
The company has a number of operating lease agreements primarily involving
machinery, physical distribution, and computer equipment. Certain of these
leases contain renewal or purchase options which vary by lease. These leases
are noncancelable and expire on dates through 1999.

   Rent expense for continuing operations was $5,234, $2,404, and $2,317 for
the years ended August 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.

   The following is a schedule by year of future minimum rental payments
required under the operating leases that have initial or remaining
noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of August 31, 1994:

PREFERRED SHARE PURCHASE RIGHTS
The company has a Shareholder Rights Plan pursuant to which holders of the
company's common shares receive a dividend of one preferred share purchase
right (collectively, the "Rights") for each common share held. The Rights
contain features which, under defined circumstances, allow holders to buy
shares at a bargain price. The Rights will expire on February 28, 1998. The
Rights are not presently exercisable and trade in tandem with the common
shares. The Rights become exercisable following the close of business on the
tenth day after a public announcement that a person or group has acquired 20%
or more of the common shares of the company or a public announcement or
commencement of a tender or exchange offer which would result in ownership of
30% or more of the common shares of Amcast. It is expected that the Rights will
begin to trade independently of the company's common shares at that time.

   The company may redeem the Rights for 1 cent per Right any time prior to the
close of business on the tenth day following the day that a 20% position is
acquired and under certain circumstances thereafter, including certain
transactions not involving a 20% shareholder of the company.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At August 31, 1994, the company has committed to capital expenditures of $5,199
in 1995.

   The company is involved in various legal proceedings normally encountered in
the ordinary course of business. The primary issues relate to environmental and
patent infringement matters. Management believes the company's liability for
these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition of the company. A more detailed description of these matters may be
found in Management's Discussion of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations under Capital Resources.

PENSION PLANS
The company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all employees. The plan covers salaried employees and provides
pension benefits that are based on years of credited service, employee
compensation during years preceding retirement, and the primary social security
benefit. The plan also covers hourly employees and provides pension benefits of
stated amounts for each year of credited service. The company's policy is to
fund the annual amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974. Plan assets consist of U.S. Treasury bonds and notes, U.S.
governmental agency issues, corporate bonds, and common stocks. The plan held
350,000 common shares of the company at August 31, 1994 (9.0% of plan assets)
and 1993 (7.2% of plan assets).

   The company also sponsors a deferred compensation profit sharing plan for
the benefit of substantially all salaried employees. The company provides a 15%
match on employee contributions up to 6% of eligible compensation and a
supplemental saving match from 1% to 35% based on the company achieving a
minimum return on shareholders' equity and subject to IRS limitations.

   The company participates in a multiemployer plan which provides defined
benefits to certain bargaining unit employees.

   The following table sets forth the funded status and the amounts recognized
in the consolidated statements of financial condition for the company's defined
benefit plan at August 31:

POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS
The company provides health care and life insurance benefits to designated
salary and hourly employees who participate in a defined benefit pension plan
and who retired prior to January 1, 1992.  The plan coordinates with Medicare
and requires employee contributions. The company also provides similar benefits
to certain employees, represented by bargaining units, who retire before
attaining age 65 and meet certain minimum service requirements. Benefits for
the bargaining unit employees terminate when the retiree attains age 65. The
company funds the postretirement benefits on a cash basis.

   In the fourth quarter of 1993, the company elected  to adopt Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions", effective September 1, 1992.  The
statement requires the cost of these benefits to be recognized during the
employee's active working career rather than expensed when paid as had been the
prior practice.

   The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 106 using the immediate recognition
method as of September 1, 1992, was a charge to earnings of $3,942, net of
$2,217 deferred income tax benefit.  The adoption of SFAS 106 had no material
effect on 1993 operating results.

Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation recognized in 1994 and 1993:

   The actuarial assumptions used to determine 1994 and 1993 costs and benefit
obligation includes a discount rate of 8.0% and 7.5%, respectively.  An assumed
rate of future increase in per capita cost of health care benefits (health care
trend rates) was 11% in 1994 and 12% in 1993, decreasing gradually to 5% by the
year 2000.  Increasing the health care trend rate by one percentage point would
increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation $489 and would
increase the 1994 postretirement benefit cost $24.

SUPPLEMENTARY EARNINGS PER SHARE
On April 7, 1992, the company completed the sale of 1,700,000 shares of its
common stock in a public offering. The proceeds of the sale were used to repay
borrowings under the company's revolving credit agreement, and short-term lines
of credit, and to fund construction and the purchase of equipment for two new
manufacturing facilities.

   If the common stock offering had occurred on September 1, 1991, and excess
proceeds were invested, 1992 earnings (loss) per share, based on 8,280,000
average shares outstanding, would have been $1.53 on continuing operations and
$(2.15) on the discontinued operation.
