         As of June 30, 1996, 1,227,221 shares of common stock were reserved for
         exercise of stock options and grants of restricted shares.

3.       Dividends.

         Dividends paid during the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were
         based on 24,547,672 and 24,364,974, respectively, common shares
         outstanding on the applicable dates of record.

4.       Earnings per share.

         Earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were
         based on average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding
         of 24,824,170 and 24,705,231, 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 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
         $1,000,000 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 rectntly 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 - Six Months Ended June 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 June 30, 1996, long-term debt
     was 14.8% of the Company's capital structure, compared to 16.9% at December
     31, 1995. Based upon annualized 1996 results, the interest coverage ratio
     of the Company's indebtedness was 11.2 at June 30, 1996, compared with 10.7
     for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995.

         The return on average net assets at June 30, 1996 was 13.1% based upon
     1996 annualized results, compared to 11.5% at December 31, 1995. Annualized
     return on average shareholders' equity was 18.8% at June 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 2.5
     to 1 at June 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. Cash and amounts available under borrowing arrangements will be
     adequate to fund operating needs and capital expenditures through the
     coming 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. It is
     anticipated that the repurchase program will be funded with excess cash,
     existing lines of credit and additional external borrowings.

     Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 1996

         Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were a record of
     $300.3 million. This compares with net sales of $253.8 million in the same
     period in 1995. The 18% increase in net sales reflects strong global
     shipments from all business units and across all geographic regions.
     Foreign contributions to consolidated net sales were 33.4% and 33.0% for
     the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Total net
     sales to foreign customers including export sales from the U.S. were 40.7%
     and 37.8% for the first six months of 1996 and 1995, 



<PAGE>   11

     respectively. The increase in foreign contributions reflects higher levels
     of shipments into the European, Asian and Latin American markets.

         Incoming business was a record $310.3 million for the first six months
     of 1996. This reflects an increase of 15% 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 half of 1996 compared with 1995.
     Backlog at June 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 six months ended June 30,
     1996. This compares to 40.5% for the same period in 1995. The improvement
     in the margin reflects improved pricing 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 six months ended June 30, 1996 were 24.4%, 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 the six months ended June 30, 1996 was 2.7%, 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 $3.1 million for the six month period ended June 30,
     1996, compared to $2.7 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.

         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 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

<PAGE>   12

     approximately $.02-$.03 per share will be recorded as period costs and
     categorized into cost of sales and administrative expense in the second
     half of 1996. These future costs relate to moving equipment and
     cross-training employees to support ongoing operations at the Duriron
     facilities.

         The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
     34.9%, compared with 37.8% 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 the 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 six months ended June 30, 1996 were a
     record $22.0 million, or $.89 per share, before the restructuring of $3.0
     million after tax, or $.12 per share. This reflects a 41% increase in
     profits over 1995 earnings of $15.7 million, or $.63 per share. Including
     the restructuring, net earnings of $19.0 million remained at a record level
     and exceeded the prior year by 21%. The increase in profits reflects the
     combination of strong business and leveraging of expenses. The impact of
     the merger with Durametallic continued to be accretive to earnings per
     share in the second quarter of 1996.

     Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 1996

         Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were a record of
     $151.1 million, compared to net sales of $131.1 million for the same period
     in 1995. The 15% increase in net sales reflects strong global shipments
     from all operations and across all geographic regions. Foreign
     contributions to consolidated net sales were 33.4% and 32.9% for the three
     month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Total net sales
     to foreign customers including export sales from the U.S. were 41.2% and
     37.2% for the second quarter 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 $153.3 million in the second quarter of 1996.
     This reflects an increase of 7% over a prior record incoming business level
     of $143.7 million during the same period in 1995. The 1996 incoming
     business level reflected strong activity throughout the global
     organization. Incoming business in the European and Latin American markets
     was particularly strong during the second quarter of 1996 compared with
     1995. Backlog at June 30, 1996 was $110.9 million, compared with a backlog
     of $101.4 million at December 31, 1995.

         The gross profit margin was a record 41.4% for the three months ended
     June 30, 1996. This compares to 40.1% for the same period in 1995. The
     improvement in the margin reflects better pricing, improved burden
     absorption related to higher levels of plant utilization and the impact of
     the Company's continued emphasis on cost control.

         Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for
     the three months ended June 30, 1996 were 24.4%, 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


<PAGE>   13

     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.

         Research, engineering and development expense for the three months
     ended June 30, 1996 was $4.0 million, compared with $3.6 million for the
     same period in 1995. The expense level during the second quarter of 1996
     reflects the Company's continued investment in new products and production
     processes.

         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 Durametallic
     operations in Europe and Australia. For further information, reference the
     previous paragraph on the same topic located in the review of operations
     for the first six months of 1996.

         The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 1996 was 32.3%,
     compared with 37.8% in 1995. The lower second quarter 1996 tax rate
     includes benefits associated with restructuring the Company's German fiscal
     entities and other tax benefits of the aforementioned restructuring.
     Excluding the tax impact on the restructuring, the tax rate for the second
     quarter was 37.0%. The reduction in tax rate from 1995 excluding the
     impacts of the restructuring reflects the recognition of tax loss
     carryforwards in the Company's Asia Pacific and European operations.

         Earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were
     a record $11.9 million, or $.48 per share, before the restructuring of $3.0
     million after tax, or $.12 per share. This reflects a 49% increase in
     profits over 1995 earnings of $8.0 million, or $.32 per share. Including
     the restructuring, 1996 net earnings of $8.9 million were 11% above the
     prior year earnings. The increase in profits reflects the combination of
     strong business and leveraging of expenses. The impact of the merger with
     Durametallic continued to be accretive to earnings per share in the second
     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.

ITEM 1            Not Applicable During Reporting Period

ITEM 2            On July 26, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company 
                  approved an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Company's
                  Rights Agreement which has the effect of extending the
                  expiration date of this Rights Agreement from August 13,
                  1996 to August 13, 2006. The Amendment also made several
                  other technical modifications to the Rights Agreement. The
                  Amendment has the effect of extending the rights (the
                  "Rights") of holders of the Company's common stock to
                  purchase a series of Participating Preferred Stock to be
                  newly issued by the Company if an "Acquiring Person" takes
                  certain defined steps without approval of the Company's
                  Board of Directors, which could lead to a change of control
                  of the Company, all as subject to and as more clearly
                  defined in the Rights Agreement. A copy of the Amendment is
                  filed as Exhibit 4.5 hereto. The Amendment could have
                  certain anti-takeover effects since the issuance of the
                  Rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group
                  who attempts to acquire the Company on terms not approved by
                  the Company's Board of Directors.

        1996, Key became the successor by merger to Society, and Key now serves
        as Rights Agent.

B.      NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Key hereby amend the Rights Agreement as
        follows, pursuant to Section 26 of the Rights Agreement:

        1.      The second sentence of Section 4 of the Rights Agreement is
                amended by changing the figure "$30.00" to "$90.00".

        2.      Section 7(a) and Section 7(b) of the Rights Agreement are
                amended and restated to read as follows:

                        EXERCISE OF RIGHTS; PURCHASE PRICE; EXPIRATION DATE OF
                        RIGHTS.

                                (a)     The Rights shall become exercisable
                        following the close of business on the Distribution
                        Date. The Rights may be exercised to purchase Preferred
                        Stock, except as otherwise provided herein, in whole or
                        in part at any time after the Distribution Date upon
                        surrender of the Right Certificate, with the form of
                        election to purchase on the reverse side thereof duly
                        executed (with such signature duly guaranteed), to the
                        Rights Agent at the Securityholder Services Department
                        of the Rights Agent in Cleveland, Ohio, together with
                        payment of the Purchase Price with 
<PAGE>   2

                respect to each Right exercised, subject to adjustment as
                hereinafter provided, at or prior to the close of business on
                the earlier of (i) August 13, 2006 ("Final Expiration Date"), or
                (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed as provided in
                Section 23 hereof (such earlier date being herein referred to as
                the "Expiration Date").

                        (b)     The Purchase Price for each one one-hundredth
                (1/100) of a share of Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the
                exercise of a Right shall initially be $90.00. The Purchase
                Price and the number of shares of Preferred Stock or other
                securities to be acquired upon exercise of a Right shall be
                subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Sections
                11 and 13 hereof. The Purchase Price shall be payable in lawful
                money of the United States of America, in accordance with
                paragraph (c) below.

3.      New Sections 7(e), 7(f) and 7(g) are added to the Rights Agreement and
        shall read as follows:

                        (e)     At any time after any Person becomes an
                Acquiring Person, a majority of the members of the Board of
                Directors who were in office at the time the Person became an
                Acquiring Person (with such members being called "Continuing
                Directors" hereafter) may, at their option, exchange all or part
                of the then outstanding and exercisable Rights (exclusive of any
                Rights that are or were at any time on or after the earlier of
                the Stock Acquisition Date or the Distribution Date acquired or
                beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person or any Associate or
                Affiliate of any such Acquiring Person, or any transferee of
                such Rights) (such excluded rights being hereinafter referred to
                as the "Excluded Rights") for shares of Common Stock at an
                exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right,
                appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock
                dividend or similar transaction occurring after the Distribution
                Date (such exchange ratio being hereinafter referred to as the
                "Exchange Ratio").

                        (f)     Immediately upon the action of the Continuing
                Directors electing to exchange any Rights pursuant to Section
                7(e) and without any further action and without any notice, the
                right to exercise such Rights will terminate and thereafter the
                only right of a holder of such Rights shall be to receive that
                number of shares of Common Stock equal to the numbers of such
<PAGE>   3
                Rights held by such holder multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. The
                Company shall promptly thereafter give notice of such exchange
                to the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights to be
                exchanged in the manner set forth in Section 24; provided that
                the failure to give, or any defect in, such notice shall not
                affect the validity of such exchange. Any notice which is mailed
                in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or
                not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of exchange
                will state the method by which the exchange of shares of Common
                Stock for Rights will be effected and, in the event of any
                partial exchange, the number of Rights which will be exchanged.
                Any partial exchange shall be effected pro rata based on the
                number of Rights (other than Excluded Rights) held by each
                holder of Rights.

                        (g)     In any exchange pursuant to this Section 7, the
                Company, at its option, may substitute another security (having
                rights approximately equivalent to those then carried by a share
                of Common Stock, such other security being hereinafter referred
                to as a "Common Stock Equivalent") for shares of Common Stock
                exchangeable for Rights, at the rate of one Common Stock
                equivalent for each share of Common Stock, so that each Common
                Stock Equivalent delivered in lieu of each share of Common Stock
                shall have essentially the same dividend, liquidation and voting
                rights as one share of Common Stock then has.
        

4.      Exhibit B (Form of Right Certificate) is amended by changing the figure
        "$30.00" to "$90.00".

The remainder of the Plan shall remain unchanged, and the Plan, as so amended
above, shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Amendment to the Rights
Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
