                        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 April 3,
1994 and for the periods ended April 4, 1993 and April 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 April 3, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.

     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.  Funded debt fell almost $8 million in the
first quarter as well.  The decrease in funded debt was largely
the result of cash balances being applied against revolving debt.


MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net sales for the first quarter fell $3.9 million (3.2%)
from the first quarter of 1993.  The sales decline was due to the
loss of revenue from operating units closed or sold since the
first quarter of last year.  Sales at plants operating in both
periods actually rose almost $10 million, approximately half of
which was related to business transferred from the plants closed
or sold.  The 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 exceed prior year amounts despite the
loss of revenue from units closed or sold in 1993.

     Gross profit rose slightly in the first quarter of 1994
compared to 1993.  Gross profit also went up as a percent of
sales, increasing from 10.4% to 11.4%.  Operating results at the
Ironton, Ohio foundry have improved significantly over the first
quarter of 1993.  However, the performance of the New River
foundry in Virginia has suffered as it nears the scheduled second
quarter startup of its new production line.  In addition, the
Company has not yet realized the full benefit of the decision to
close the Lower Basin foundry and the other changes which
resulted from that decision.  Consolidated gross profit is
expected to continue improving as the year progresses.

     Operating expenses dropped to $8.5 million in the first
quarter of 1994 from $9.1 million in 1993.  Operating expenses
for the full year are expected to be approximately the same as in
1993.

     Interest expense for the first quarter fell slightly from
the first quarter of 1993. The effect of higher borrowing levels
was more than offset by capitalized interest of over $400,000
related to the expansion of the New River foundry.

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

            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 Company 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 Company could avoid litigation with respect to
         such violations by entering into a consent order.  The
         Company 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 Company's operations or financial position.
