ITEM 2.              DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On January 26, 1996, the registrant announced that it would begin 
discussions with multiple parties regarding the sale of four of its five 
operating divisions, including its UNR Leavitt Division, a producer of 
mechanical and structural steel tubing.  The registrant engaged J.P. Morgan 
Securities Inc. to act as its financial adviser and to provide other 
services, including assistance in identifying qualified purchasers, 
soliciting acquisition proposals and negotiating financial aspects of 
proposed acquisitions.  As a result of this process, the registrant entered 
into a definitive Sale and Purchase Agreement on May 15, 1996, to sell 
substantially all the operating assets and business of its UNR Leavitt 
Division to Chase Brass Industries, Inc. for $95 million in cash, subject to 
certain closing adjustments.  The sale of the UNR Leavitt Division was 
consummated on August 30, 1996.  The terms of the acquisition, including the 
cash consideration paid, were determined through arm's-length negotiations.  
Net assets of the UNR Leavitt Division are classified as "Net assets of 
discontinued operations" in the registrant's financial statements.
