NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

NOTE 1   The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
         been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules
         and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
         accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
         pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company
         believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
         presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed
         financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
         statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest
         annual report on Form 10-K.

         Statements for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and
         March 31, 1995 reflect, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments
         (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present
         fairly the results of these periods. Results for interim periods are
         not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

NOTE 2   No material changes have occurred with respect to the Company's
         contingent liabilities outlined in the Company's 1995 10-K through the
         date of this report.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION:

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION:

For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company's total debt increased
by $560,000 to $19.7 million from $19.1 million at year-end 1995.  The
Company's debt to capitalization ratio of 39.4% was, however, essentially
unchanged from the December 31, 1995 figure.  The increase in debt resulted
from borrowings under the Company's revolving credit arrangement mainly to fund
working capital and capital investment needs during the quarter.

Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 1996 were $1.8 million.
Approximately 15% of that amount related to spending on Strategic Partnership
2000 heat treating projects.  The Company anticipates investing approximately
$7 million in capital projects for the full year 1996.

On January 27, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.07 on
each share of the Company's common stock, payable March 1, 1996 to stockholders
of record at the close of business on February 10, 1996.  The cash dividends
were paid out as scheduled, with a total funding requirement of $331,000.

At present, the Company believes that its increased borrowing capacity and
funds generated through operations will be sufficient to meet currently
foreseen capital investment and working capital needs, both for the balance of
1996 and in the longer term.

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

Sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 1996 decreased by 12% to $29.5
million from $33.6 million in the first quarter of 1995.  The first quarter of
the prior year was the highest quarterly sales period in the Company's history,
and was characterized by very robust demand from most industry segments served
- - particularly automotive related markets.

The reduction in sales for the first quarter of 1996 largely reflected a
lower level of orders/sales activity than in early 1995.  As business activity
softened throughout 1995 after the strong first quarter, results this quarter
were consistent with the $27.4 million and $29.7 million of sales reported in
the third and fourth quarters of last year, respectively.  The strike at General
Motors and, to a lesser degree, the harsh winter weather in the northeastern
United States in the first quarter of 1996 accounted for an estimated 25% of the
sales decline.

Gross profit margins of 20.7% were recorded for the first quarter of 1996, down
slightly from 20.8% for the same period in the prior year.  The margin
percentage was largely maintained on the lower sales level due to cost
reductions and productivity improvements since the first quarter of 1995,
during which high levels of customer demand resulted in some operational
inefficiencies.

                                      -8-


Lower selling and administrative expenses and lower interest expense enabled
the Company to nearly maintain its pretax profit margin despite the lower sales
volume.  As a result, earnings before income tax fell to $2.1 million from $2.5
million on the $4.1 million sales decline.

Net earnings for the first quarter of 1996 of $1.2 million, or $.26 per share,
fell 16% below the $1.5 million, or $.31 per share, recorded in the first
quarter of 1995, reflecting the above factors.
