         As of September 30, 1996, 1,220,423 shares of common stock were
         reserved for exercise of stock options and grants of restricted shares.

3.       Dividends.

         Dividends paid during the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
         were based on 24,556,429 and 24,380,592 respectively, common shares
         outstanding on the applicable dates of record.

4.       Earnings per share.

         Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
         1995 were based on average common shares and common share equivalents
         outstanding of 24,665,447 and 24,738,288, respectively.

5.       Contingencies.

         The Company is involved as a "potentially responsible party" at five
         former public waste disposal sites which may be subject to remediation
         under pending government procedures. The sites are in various stages of
         evaluation by federal and state environmental authorities. The
         projected cost of remediating these sites, as well as the Company's
         alleged "fair share" allocation, is uncertain and speculative until all
         studies have been completed and the parties have either negotiated an
         amicable resolution or the matter has been judicially resolved. At each
         site, there are many other parties who have similarly been identified,
         and the identification and location of additional parties is continuing
         under applicable federal or state law. Many of the other parties
         identified are financially strong and solvent companies which appear
         able to pay their share of the remediation costs. Based on the
         Company's preliminary information about the waste disposal practices at
         these sites and the environmental regulatory process in general, the
         Company believes that it is likely that ultimate remediation liability
         costs for each site will be apportioned among all liable parties,
         including site owners and waste transporters, according to the volumes
         and/or toxicity of the wastes shown to have been disposed of at the
         sites.

         The Company is a defendant in numerous pending lawsuits (which include,
         in many cases, multiple claimants) which seek to recover damages for
         alleged personal injury allegedly resulting from exposure to asbestos
         containing products formerly manufactured and distributed by the
         Company. A high percentage of these claims was assumed by the Company
         in 1995 as the result of the merger of Durametallic Corporation. All
         such products were used within self-contained process equipment, and
         management does not believe that there was any emission of ambient
         asbestos fiber during the use of this equipment. As of December 31,
         1995, the Company has resolved numerous claims at an average of about
         $120 per claim, the cost of which was fully paid by insurance. The
         Company continues to have a substantial amount of available insurance
         from financially solvent carriers to cover the cost of both defending
         and resolving the claims.

         The Company is also a defendant in several other products liability
         lawsuits which are insured, subject to the applicable deductibles, and
         certain other non-insured lawsuits received in the ordinary course of
         business. The Company has fully accrued the estimated loss reserve for
         each such lawsuit. No insurance recovery has been projected for
         settlement of any of the insured claims because management currently
         believes that all will be resolved within applicable deductibles.

         Although none of the aforementioned gives rise to any additional
         liability that can now be reasonably estimated, it is possible that the
         Company could incur additional costs in the range of $250,000 to
         $1,500,000 over the upcoming five years to fully resolve these matters.
         Although the Company has accrued the minimum end of this range as a
         precaution, management has no current reason to believe that any such
         increase is probable or quantifiable. The Company will continue to
         evaluate these contingent loss exposures and, if they develop,
         recognize expense as soon as such losses can be reasonably estimated.

6.       Merger.

         On November 30, 1995, the Company merged with Durametallic Corporation.
         The acquisition was accounted for under the pooling of interests method
         of accounting, and accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial
         statements have been restated for all periods prior to the acquisition
         to include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows
         of Durametallic.

7.       Restructuring

         The Company recognized a restructuring charge of $5.8 million, or $.12
         per share after tax, during the second quarter of 1996 to consolidate
         Duriron and its recently acquired Durametallic operations in Europe and
         Australia. The restructuring charge resulted in termination costs of
         $3.2 million and exit costs of $2.6 million.

         The financial information contained in this report is unaudited, but,
         in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal
         recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the
         operating results for the period have been made.

                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


     Capital Resources and Liquidity - Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996

         The Company's capital structure, consisting of long-term debt, deferred
     items and shareholders' equity, continues to enable the Company to finance
     short-and long-range business objectives. At September 30, 1996, long-term
     debt was 22.7% of the Company's capital structure, compared to 16.9% at
     December 31, 1995. The increase in long-term debt reflected additional
     borrowings needed to fund the share repurchase program (see paragraph 5 of
     Capital Resources and Liquidity for further information about the
     repurchase program). Based upon annualized 1996 results, the interest
     coverage ratio of the Company's indebtedness was 12.3 at September 30,
     1996, compared with 10.7 for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995.

         The return on average net assets at September 30, 1996 was 13.8% based
     upon 1996 annualized results (including the impact of the second quarter
     restructuring charge), compared to 11.5% at December 31, 1995. Annualized
     return on average shareholders' equity was 20.5% (including this charge) at
     September 30, 1996, compared to 16.6% at December 31, 1995. Increases in
     these returns, despite the impact of a restructuring charge in the second
     quarter of 1996, reflect the Company's improved level of profitability.
     Management continues to focus on improving its performance in these areas.

         Capital spending in 1996 is expected to be approximately $17.5 million,
     compared with $13.3 million in 1995. The 1996 expenditures will be invested
     in new and replacement products, international market development and
     general manufacturing equipment upgrades.

         The Company's liquidity position is reflected in a current ratio of 2.7
     to 1 at September 30, 1996. This compares to 2.5 to 1 at December 31, 1995.
     Cash in excess of current requirements was invested in high-grade,
     short-term securities. The Company is in the final stages of negotiating a
     $100 million revolving credit agreement to provide permanent financing for
     the stock repurchase program and future general purposes. Cash and amounts
     available under these borrowing arrangements will be adequate to fund
     operating needs and capital expenditures through the remainder of the year.

         On July 26, 1996, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
     authorized the purchase in the open market and through negotiated
     transactions of up to 2.4 million of its shares of Common Stock at an
     aggregate purchase price not to exceed $50 million. It is the Company's
     intent to repurchase the shares quickly and as long as market conditions
     remain favorable. The maximum number of shares covered by the authorization
     represents up to almost 10% of the number of outstanding shares. Under the
     share repurchase program, the Company repurchased 1.1 million shares at
     price of $27.8 million during the third quarter of 1996. Revolving credit
     agreements were utilized to fund the repurchase.

     Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996

         Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were a record of
     $450.4 million. This compares with net sales of $386.7 million in the same
     period in 1995. The 16% increase in net sales reflects strong global
     shipments from all business units and across all geographic regions.
     Foreign contributions to consolidated net sales were 33.7% and 33.0% for
     the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
     Total net sales to foreign customers including export sales from the U.S.
     were 41.2% and 37.9% for the first nine months of 1996 and 1995,
     respectively. The increase in foreign contributions reflects higher levels
     of shipments into the European, Asian and Latin American markets.

         Incoming business was a record $459.0 million for the first nine months
     of 1996. This reflects an increase of 12% over the same period in 1995. The
     record level of incoming business is expected to continue through 1996. The
     1996 incoming business level reflected strong activity throughout the
     global organization. Incoming business in the international markets was
     particularly strong during the first nine months of 1996 compared with
     1995. Backlog at September 30, 1996 was $110.9 million, compared with a
     backlog of $101.4 million at December 31, 1995. The Company remains
     committed to its program of reducing throughput time and meeting customer
     request dates for deliveries.

         The gross profit margin was 40.8% for the nine months ended September
     30, 1996. This compares to 40.1% for the same period in 1995. The
     improvement in the margin reflects improved pricing, a more favorable
     product mix and the impact of the Company's continued emphasis on cost
     control. In addition, burden absorption improved due to the higher levels
     of plant utilization.

         Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for
     the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were 24.3%, compared to 25.7% for
     the same period in 1995. The decrease in expense as a percentage of net
     sales is consistent with the Company's plan to further leverage expense in
     1996 while continuing to invest in the development and growth of
     international operations. Selling and administrative expense in dollars
     increased between periods due to higher commission payments on large
     project shipments, global market development and general wage increases.

         Research, engineering and development expense as a percentage of net
     sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was 2.6%, compared with
     2.9% for the same period in 1995. The expense level during the first half
     of 1996 reflects the Company's continued investment in new products and
     production processes.

         Other expense was $4.8 million for the nine month period ended
     September 30, 1996, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 1995.
     The increase in expense reflects higher levels of long and short term
     incentive compensation expense as the Company achieved record financial
     results, a lower level of royalty income in 1996 compared with an unusually
     high amount of income in 1995, and lower foreign currency gains in 1996.

         The Company recognized a restructuring charge of $5.8 million before
     income taxes, or $.12 per share after tax, during the second quarter of
     1996 to consolidate Duriron and its recently acquired 



<PAGE>   12


     Durametallic operations in Europe and Australia. Durametallic operations in
     Belgium, Germany, Italy, France and Australia will be combined with larger
     and more efficient Duriron facilities during the second half of 1996. The
     restructuring was a part of the plan to obtain positive synergies between
     the two companies. The savings associated with the plan will be immediate
     since the facilities had been unprofitable for many years and fixed
     operating costs will be permanently reduced. Annual savings associated with
     the personnel reductions alone will amount to approximately $1.5 million.
     The restructuring plan is expected to result in the termination of
     approximately 55 employees at a cost of $3.2 million. In addition, exit
     costs associated with the plant closings are estimated at $2.6 million. The
     restructuring activities are expected to be funded with operating cash
     flows. Additional costs to fully implement the reorganization plan of
     approximately $.02-$.03 per share will be recorded as period costs and
     categorized into cost of sales and administrative expense in the latter
     half of 1996. These future costs relate to moving equipment and
     cross-training employees to support ongoing operations at the Duriron
     facilities. The majority of employees to be terminated have been given
     notice. Through September 30, 1996, termination fees of $.4 million and
     exit fees of $.3 million were paid. The majority of charges and payment of
     termination fees are expected to be incurred during the fourth quarter of
     1996 with minimal changes in estimate from the original accrual.

         The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
     35.7%, compared with 37.3% in 1995. The lower 1996 effective tax rate
     includes benefits associated with restructuring the Company's German
     entities and other tax benefits of the aforementioned restructuring.
     Excluding the tax impact on the restructuring, the tax rate for 1996
     was 37.0%. The reduction in the 1996 tax rate excluding the impact of the
     restructuring reflects the recognition of tax loss carryforwards in the
     Company's Asia Pacific and European operations.

         Earnings from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
     were a record $33.6 million, or $1.36 per share, before the restructuring
     of $3.0 million after tax, or $.12 per share. This reflects a 36% increase
     in profits over 1995 earnings of $24.7 million, or $1.00 per share.
     Including the restructuring, net earnings of $30.6 million remained at a
     record level and exceeded the prior year by 24%. The increase in profits
     reflects the combination of strong business and leveraging of expenses. The
     impact of the merger with Durametallic continues to be accretive to
     earnings per share.

     Results of Operations - Three Months Ended September 30, 1996

         Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were a record
     of $150.2 million, compared to net sales of $132.9 million for the same
     period in 1995. The 13% increase in net sales reflects strong global
     shipments from all operations and across all geographic regions. Foreign
     contributions to consolidated net sales were 34.4% and 33.1% for the three
     month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Total net
     sales to foreign customers including export sales from the U.S. were 42.3%
     and 38.1% for the third quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
     increase in foreign contributions reflects higher levels of export sales
     and shipments into the Asian and Latin American markets.

         Incoming business was $148.7 million in the third quarter of 1996. This
     reflects an increase of 7% over incoming business of $139.0 million during
     the same period in 1995. The 1996 incoming 


<PAGE>   13



     business level reflected strong activity throughout the global
     organization. Incoming business in the European and Latin American markets
     was particularly strong during the third quarter of 1996 compared with
     1995. Backlog at September 30, 1996 was $110.9 million, compared with a
     backlog of $101.4 million at December 31, 1995.

         The gross profit margin was 40.8% for the three months ended September
     30, 1996. This compares to 39.3% for the same period in 1995. The
     improvement in the margin reflects better pricing, a more favorable product
     mix, and the impact of the Company's continued emphasis on cost control.
     Third quarter margins in both 1996 and 1995 were negatively impacted by
     lower production levels due to summer vacations and European shutdowns.

         Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for
     the three months ended September 30, 1996 were 24.1%, compared to 25.6% for
     the same period in 1995. The decrease in expense as a percentage of net
     sales is consistent with the Company's plan to further leverage expense in
     1996 while continuing to invest in the development and growth of
     international operations. Selling and administrative expense in dollars
     increased between periods due to higher commission payments on large
     project shipments and global market development.

                  Other expense was $1.7 million for the quarter ended September
     30, 1996, compared to income of $1.1 million for the same period in 1995.
     The increase in expense reflects higher levels of long and short term
     incentive compensation expense, a lower level of royalty income in 1996
     compared with an unusually high amount of income in 1995, lower foreign
     currency gains, and lower interest income.

         Net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were a
     record $11.6 million, or $.47 per share. This reflects a 28% increase in
     profits over 1995 earnings of $9.0 million, or $.37 per share. The increase
     in profits reflects the combination of strong business and leveraging of
     expenses. The impact of the merger with Durametallic continues to be
     accretive to earnings per share in the third quarter of 1996. Net earnings
     for future quarters of 1996 and thereafter are uncertain and dependent on
     general worldwide economic conditions in the Company's major markets and
     their strong impact on the level of incoming business activity.
