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 during the first quarter.
Due in large part to higher earnings and a reduced level of capital
expenditures, funded debt was reduced by $9.6 million and the debt-to-capital
ratio dropped to 56% from 61% at the end of 1994.  Management expects further
reductions in funded debt as the year progresses.

     In the first quarter of 1995 the Company charged a total of $1.3 million
against reserves established in 1993 and 1994 for restructuring, severance and
retirement pay.  This activity was funded by cash from operations, and will
continue throughout the year.

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

     Sales in the first quarter rose more than $34 million (29%) over the
first quarter of 1994.  Sales were higher both in the U.S. and Europe as
the Company's principal market, automobiles and light trucks, remained
strong.  Almost $14 million of the domestic sales growth was a result
of a 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.
Sales in the second quarter of 1995 are expected to be well above
prior year amounts as well, for the same reasons noted above.
However, the sales growth rate is expected to be much lower in the
last half of 1995 as most plants are now operating at full capacity
on all production lines.  In addition, the U.S. automotive market is
showing signs it may be softening.

     Gross profit was up significantly compared to the prior year.  Margins
were also better, improving to 14.1% of sales from 11.4% in the first quarter
of 1994.  Almost all plants experienced better margins than last year.

     Operating expenses dropped to $7.7 million in the first quarter from
$8.5 million in 1994, due largely to a reduced salaried workforce.

     The decrease in operating expenses combined with higher gross margins
resulted in operating profit more than doubling, both in dollars and as a
percent of sales, compared to last year.  If sales remain near current
levels, management expects operating profit to remain well above prior year
levels for the balance of the year.






                                          8<PAGE>

     Interest expense in the first quarter increased $758,000 from the same
period last year.  Over $400,000 of this increase was the result of interest
capitalized in 1994 related to the expansion of the New River foundry.  The
balance was due primarily to higher domestic borrowing 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
         alleged certain violations by Lynchburg of the
         Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the most
         significant of which related to the treatment of
         certain hazardous waste at two of Lynchburg's
         foundries.  In November 1994 Lynchburg signed a
         consent order agreeing to pay a penalty of $330,000.
         The Registrant expects to pay the penalty in 1995,
         but has not yet been required to do so.
 
         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 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.  In April 1995 the Attorney General's
         office proposed a penalty of approximately $228,000.
         The Registrant intends to try to negotiate a lower
         settlement.
