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

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

     The Company's financial position improved significantly
during the first half of the year.  Due in large part to higher
earnings and a reduced level of capital expenditures, funded debt
was reduced over $34 million and the debt-to-capital ratio
dropped to 46% from 61% at the end of 1994.

     In the first half of 1995 the Company charged a total of
$2.5 million against reserves established in 1993 and 1994 for
restructuring, severance and retirement pay.  Amounts paid
consisted primarily of severance and retirement pay and related
benefit costs.  This activity will continue throughout the
balance of the year.

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

     Sales in the second quarter rose more than $24 million (20%)
from the second quarter of 1994.  This brought the year-to-date
increase over the previous year to almost $59 million (24%). 
Sales were higher both in the U.S. and Europe as the Company's
principal market, automobiles and light trucks, remained
relatively strong.  Over $10 million of the second quarter sales
growth and more than $24 million of the year-to-date growth
resulted from the new production line added at the Company's New
River foundry in Virginia.  This line was not operating in the
first half of last year.  In addition, a stronger German mark
contributed $4 million to the second quarter rise in sales and
over $7 million to the year-to-date figure.  The sales growth is
expected to be much lower in the last half of 1995.  The U.S.
automotive market has recently softened, although management
expects there will be some rebound in the fall.  The year-to-year
change from New River will also be smaller in the last half of
the year.

     Gross profit was up significantly compared to the prior year
for both the second quarter and first six months of 1995.
Margins were also better, improving to 18.4% and 16.2% of sales
for the second quarter and first half of 1995, respectively.
Prior year figures for comparable periods were 12.2% and 11.8%,
respectively.  Most plants continued to experience better margins
than last year.

     Improved margins combined with higher sales led to operating
profit more than doubling, both in dollars and as a percent of
sales, for the second quarter and first six months compared to
the same periods last year.  Although third and fourth quarter
sales are expected to be below levels achieved in the first half
of 1995, management expects operating profit margins to remain
well above prior year levels for the balance of the year.

     Interest expense in the second quarter increased $0.3
million from the same period last year.  Most of this increase
was the result of interest capitalized in 1994 related to the
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

expansion of the New River foundry.  Although debt was reduced
significantly in the second quarter, higher domestic borrowing
rates offset the effect of this debt reduction on interest
expense.  Interest expense for the first six months of 1995 was
$1 million higher than the prior year.  Most of this increase was
also the result of interest capitalized in 1994.  The balance was
due to higher domestic borrowing rates which offset the effect of
debt reductions.

     The Company's effective income tax rate was 46% in the
second quarter and 45% for the first half of 1995.  In 1994 the
effective income tax rate was 55% for both the second quarter and
first half of the year.  A greater portion of consolidated pretax
income was earned in the U.S. in 1995.  This reduced the effect
of foreign tax rates, which are higher than domestic rates, on
the overall effective income tax rate.  Higher pretax income also
mitigated the effect on the overall tax rate of nondeductible
charges and differences in state income tax rates among the U.S.
subsidiaries.

                     PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


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

         In August 1991 Lunchburg 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
         alleged certain violations by Lynchburg of the
         Resource Conversation and Recovery Act, the most
         significant of which related to the treatment of
         certain hazardous waste at two of Lunchburg's
         foundries.  In November 1994 Lunchburg signed a consent
         order agreeing to pay a penalty of $330,000.  Payment of
         this amount has not yet been required.

         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.  The Attorney General's office has advised
         the Registrant that it could avoid litigation with
         respect to such violations by entering into a consent
         order.  The Attorney General's most recent proposal
         includes a penalty of approximately $250,000, but this
         matter has not been settled.
