   comparable to 1996's sales of $41,098,000.  During the
   first quarter of 1997, the order backlog decreased slightly
   by $2,500,000 to $111,600,000 at March 31, 1997.
   
   The cost of products sold as a percentage of sales was
   68.2% in 1997 and 71.5% in 1996.  A more profitable sales
   mix together with increased margins resulted in an improved
   ratio of cost of products sold to sales in the 1997 first
   quarter.
   
   Selling and administrative expenses were approximately the
   same at $5,920,000 in 1997 compared to $5,975,000 in 1996.
   
   Depreciation expense of $1,671,000 in 1997 was increased
   compared to $1,573,000 in 1996.
   
   Principally as a result of the margin improvement, income
   from operations of $5,382,000 in 1997 increased by 29%
   compared to $4,170,000 in 1996.
   
   Other income (expense) - net was $493,000 in 1997 as
   compared to $79,000 in 1996.  The improvement principally
   reflects gains from the sale of investments and foreign
   currency exchange gains.
   
   As a result of all of the above, the Corporation had net
   income of $3,795,000 in 1997 compared to $2,648,000 in
   1996.
   
   Liquidity and Capital Resources
   
   Net cash flow from operating activities was positive in
   1997 and 1996 at $7,148,000 and $1,949,000, respectively. 
   The increased cash flow in 1997 resulted primarily from a
   $1,212,000 increase in income from operations and a
   decrease in working capital requirements.  A reduction in
   the level of accounts receivable during the 1997 quarter
   compared to an increase in accounts receivable during the
   1996 quarter accounted for $3,500,000 of the difference in
   cash flow.

   Capital expenditures for 1997 totaled $3,728,000 compared
   to $1,113,000 in 1996.  The Corporation anticipates capital
   expenditures for 1997 to approximate $16,000,000 with the
   major expenditure being for plant and equipment at Union
   Electric Steel's plants to be completed by the end of the
   year.  Unexpended industrial revenue bond proceeds of
   $9,767,000 were available to fund a portion of this capital
   program and $1,830,000 of these proceeds were drawn down
   during the first quarter of 1997.  Funds generated
   internally are expected to be sufficient to finance the
   balance of the capital expenditures.
   
   Cash outflows with respect to financing activities in 1997
   reflect an increase in the quarterly dividend rate to $.06
   per share compared to $.025 per share in 1996, and an
   additional prior year-end dividend of $960,000 in 1997 or
   $.10 per share, as compared to $.05 per share paid in 1996.
   
   The Corporation maintains short-term lines of credit and a
   revolving credit agreement in excess of the cash needs of
   its businesses.  The total available at March 31, 1997 was
   $14,500,000.
   
   With respect to environmental concerns, the Corporation has
   been named a potentially responsible party at certain third
   party sites. The Corporation has accrued its share of the
   estimated cost of remedial actions it would likely be
   required to contribute.  In addition, the Corporation has
   provided for environmental clean-up costs related to
   preparing its discontinued business facilities for sale. 
   While it is not possible to quantify with certainty the
   potential cost of actions regarding environmental matters,
   particularly any future remediation and other compliance
   efforts, in the opinion of management, compliance with the
   present environmental protection laws and the potential
   liability for all environmental proceedings will not have a
   material adverse effect on the financial condition, results
   of operations or liquidity of the Corporation.
   
   The nature and scope of the Corporation's business brings
   it into regular contact with a variety of persons,
   businesses and government agencies in the ordinary course
   of business.  Consequently, the Corporation and its
   subsidiaries from time to time are named in various legal
   actions.  The Corporation does not anticipate that its
   financial condition, results of operations or liquidity
   will be materially affected by the costs of known, pending
   or threatened litigation.
