Note A - Preparation of Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the
Amcast Industrial Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company").  Intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.  All adjustments, consisting of only
normally recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  Prior year amounts have been restated due to the adoption of the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions".

Note B - Accounts Receivable
- ----------------------------

Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $185
at November 28, 1993 and $172 at August 31, 1993.

Note C - Inventories
- --------------------

Certain inventories are presented net of the appropriate LIFO reserve.

Note E - 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, a
discontinued operation and postretirement benefits.  Significant related
noncurrent liabilities at November 28, 1993 and August 31, 1993 respectively,
were:  medical - $3,000 and $3,100; workers' compensation - $900 and $1,000;
disposition of operations - $5,600 and $5,600; postretirement benefits other
than pensions were $6,200 and $6,200.  These accruals are not deductible for
income tax purposes until paid and are accounted for as temporary differences
in the Company's tax provision.

Net sales of $60.3 million in the current quarter ended November 28, 1993
increased 13.7% from the prior year first quarter.  Flow Control Products'
sales increased slightly to $25.9 million.  Engineered Components' sales rose
23.1% to $34.5 million primarily due to a strong demand for aluminum wheels.

Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 1994 and 1993 was $12.6 million
and $11.7 million, respectively.  The increase in gross profit was primarily
attributable to the increase in sales.  Gross profit as a percent of sales for
the first quarter of 1994 was 20.9% compared to 22.0% in 1993.  This decrease
is primarily due to additional fixed costs of underutilized new plants.

         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of $8.0
million, were 5.6% higher than the first quarter 1993.  The increase was
primarily related to higher expenditures in support of new product development.

In the current quarter, interest expense was $.4 million, compared to $.3
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1993.  No interest was capitalized in
the current quarter.  In the first quarter of 1993, interest totaling $.2
million was capitalized as part of the start-up cost for two new facilities.

Flow Control Products operating income in the first quarter of $4.1 million was
higher by 35.1% from the prior comparable period as a result of improved
margins for  plumbing products and lower administrative expenses.  Engineered
Components' operating income of $2.0 million decreased 10.3% when compared to
the first quarter of 1993 due to underutilization of new plants and increased
sales of lower margin products.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
- -------------------------------

In the current quarter, net cash provided by  operations was $1.0 million
compared to cash used by operations of  $3.6 million for the first three months
of fiscal 1993.  In 1994, cash provided by net income, depreciation and
amortization was partially offset by an increase in working capital of $7.4
million.  In the prior year, cash provided by net income, depreciation and
amortization was more than offset by an $8.3 million increase in working
capital.

Capital expenditures were $1.7 million and $3.2 million for the three-month
period of fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively.  At November 28, 1993, the
Company had $2.6 million of commitments for additional capital expenditures
primarily for the Engineered Components segment.

Long-term debt was 14.4% of total capital at November 28, 1993 and 15.3% at
August 31, 1993.  The decrease during the period is due to lower debt levels
and increased retained earnings.

The Company may borrow up to $40 million under a Revolving Credit Agreement
which expires September 1, 1997.  In addition, the Company maintains bank lines
of credit under which it may borrow up to $25 million.  At November 28, 1993,
there were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement and $2.0 million
outstanding under the bank lines of credit.  The Company considers these
external sources of funds, together with funds generated from operations, to be
adequate to meet operating needs.

Effective August 31, 1992, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan for
the divestiture of the Stanley G. Flagg & Co. division (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 on the expected proceeds of this divestiture.
The Company has pursued the sale of the ongoing business with several potential
buyers.  At November 28, 1993, the Company had not entered into a formal sales
agreement.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the company entered into an agreement for
the sale of certain assets of the iron fittings portion of the Flagg business.
This transaction is presently scheduled to be closed in late January of 1994.

The Company is involved in a number of environmental clean-ups and has been
named by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and various state
agencies as one of several parties potentially liable for clean-ups at various
sites.  The Company cannot predict the outcome of any action or proceeding, and
future environmental related expenditures cannot be reasonably quantified due
to the speculative nature of remediation and clean-up cost estimates and
methods, the imprecise and conflicting data regarding the characteristics of
various types of waste, the unknown number of other potentially responsible
parties (PRP's) involved, the level of responsibility of any PRP, the extent to
which such costs may be recoverable from insurance, and changing environmental
laws and interpretations.  While the Company could be found to be jointly and
severally liable at a number of these sites, the Company believes that the
liability, if any, resulting from all such matters in the aggregate will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
condition.  Refer to Item 1, Part II of this report.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - 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 under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, for
costs associated with eight multi-party "superfund" sites and two state
environmental 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 the site.
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 clean-up costs at the site will
not be material.

The Company also is a defendant in a lawsuit brought by Public Research Group,
Inc. which alleges that the zinc content of 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 injunctive relief and the assessment of penalties; however, the
Company believes that injunctive relief is inappropriate because the discharge
currently is in compliance with the permit.  The Company has provided in its
financial statements a reserve based on its estimate of possible penalties and
believes that such reserve is adequate.  In a related case, the plaintiffs
objected to certain provisions of a waste water discharge permit issued with
response to the Stowe facility in 1991.  The permit has been remanded for
modification and reissuance.  While the modified permit has not yet been
issued, the Company believes that it will be able to meet any additional
requirements of the permit without incurring material additional expenditures.

Item 6 - Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
- -----------------------------------------

a) Exhibits -- None.
b) Reports on Form 8-K--No reports on Form 8-K were filed by the Company during
   the quarter ended November 28, 1993.
