                          CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     1.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31,
1993 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements at July 3,
1994 and for the periods ended July 4, 1993 and July 3, 1994 are 
unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  The results of operations for the
interim period ended July 3, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated
balance sheet at December 31, 1993 to conform to the July 3, 1994
balance sheet presentation.

     2.  Inventories consist of the following (in thousands of
dollars):

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
         OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         ------------------------------------------------

Material Changes in Financial Condition
- - ---------------------------------------

     The Company's financial position has changed little since
the beginning of the year.  Cash balances were unusually high at
year-end due to the timing of cash receipts and have now returned
to more normal levels.  Accounts receivable were also higher than
normal at the end of June due to the timing of cash receipts. 
The Company received significant cash payments from customers in
the first few days of July. 

     In the first six months of 1994 the Company charged
approximately $4 million against the restructuring reserve
established last year.  Amounts charged against the reserve
consisted primarily of operating losses related to the Lower
Basin foundry plus severance pay and related costs.  This
activity had little impact on the Company's cash flow as the
charges were funded by the liquidation of working capital
previously used to support Lower Basin operations.

Material Changes in Results of Operations
- - -----------------------------------------

     Net sales for the second quarter showed a modest increase
over the second quarter of 1993, while sales for the first six
months dipped slightly from the previous year.  Both 1994 periods
would have shown increases were it not for the loss of revenue
from operating units closed or sold during 1993.  Sales at plants
operating in both periods actually rose almost 8% in the second
quarter and 6% for the first six months.  This sales growth was
primarily the result of an increase in tons shipped, although
price increases on certain products also contributed to the rise. 
Sales for the balance of the year are expected to be well above
prior year amounts despite the loss of revenue from units closed
or sold in 1993.

     Gross profit continued to recover, increasing $2.3 million
for the second quarter and $3.1 million for the first six months
over the prior year amounts.  Gross profit as a percent of sales
also rose in both 1994 periods compared to prior year figures. 
Operating results at the Ironton, Ohio foundry have improved
significantly over 1993.  Results at the German foundry also
improved due in part to the recent strengthening of the European
economy.  However, the performance of the New River foundry in
Virginia suffered as it approached the startup of its new
production line.  The first castings were shipped from this line
in June, and management expects the line to be near capacity by
year-end.  In addition, the Radford Shell foundry in Virginia is
not expected to be able to handle all of the work moved out of
the closed Lower Basin foundry until the end of the third
quarter.  Consolidated gross profit for the rest of the year
should significantly exceed the amount reported in the last half
of 1993, and may approach the amount reported for the first six
months of 1994.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>


     Operating expenses declined in both the second quarter and
first six months compared to the same periods in 1993 due in part
to staff reductions.  Operating expenses are expected to remain
slightly below prior year amounts for the balance of the year.

     Interest expense in both 1994 and 1993 was affected by
capitalized interest related to the expansion of the New River
foundry.  Capitalized amounts totaled approximately $660,000 and
$350,000 in the first six months of 1994 and 1993 respectively. 
Interest expense increased over prior year amounts in both the
second quarter and first half of this year after considering the
effects of capitalized interest.  The increases were due to
higher borrowing levels and higher interest rates.

     The Company's effective income tax rate varied for the
reasons set forth in Note 5 to the interim condensed consolidated
financial statements.

     PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
         -----------------

         In August 1991 Lynchburg Foundry Company
         ("Lynchburg"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
         Registrant, was served with a complaint (the
         "Complaint") by the United States Environmental
         Protection Agency (the "EPA").  The Complaint 
         alleges certain violations by Lynchburg of the
         Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the most
         significant of which relate to the treatment of
         certain hazardous waste at two of Lynchburg's
         foundries.  The EPA initially proposed a civil
         penalty in the amount of $1,514,000 which Lynchburg
         appealed.  Lynchburg and the EPA have reached an
         agreement in principle calling for a penalty of
         $330,000. 

         The Registrant has entered into negotiations with the
         Office of the Ohio Attorney General with respect to
         certain past violations by the Registrant's Ironton,
         Ohio foundry of Ohio water pollution laws and
         regulations.  In a letter received in March 1994, the
         Attorney General's office advised the Registrant that
         the Registrant could avoid litigation with respect to
         such violations by entering into a consent order.  The
         Registrant responded to the Attorney General's letter in 
         April and expects to enter into a consent order
         providing for monetary penalties.  Management does not
         expect this matter to have a material adverse effect on
         the Registrant's operations or financial position.
