Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

(1)  The consolidated interim financial statements have been
     prepared by the Company, without audit and subject to
     year-end adjustment, in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles, except that certain
     information and footnote disclosures made in the latest
     annual report have been condensed or omitted for the
     interim statements.  Certain costs are estimated for
     the full year and allocated in interim periods based on
     estimates of operating time expired, benefit received,
     or activity associated with the interim period.  The
     consolidated financial statements reflected all
     adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
     necessary for fair representation.

(2)  During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company
     recorded a $2.4 million tax benefit, equal to $0.18 per
     share, as a result of reaching agreement with the
     Internal Revenue Service concerning research and
     development tax credits for fiscal years 1990 and 1991.

(3)  In the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company
     adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
     (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
     Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."  The
     Company elected to immediately recognize the transition
     obligation, resulting in a one-time charge of $4.7
     million, equal to $2.9 million after tax, or $0.22 per
     share.

(4)  Earnings per share have been computed based on the
     weighted average number of shares of common stock
     outstanding during the periods.  Net income per share
     is based on 13,200,000 shares outstanding for the three
     months ended July 3, 1994, and 13,000,000 shares
     outstanding for the three months ended June 27, 1993.
     Fully diluted amounts are not presented because they
     are not materially different than amounts shown.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
        Condition and Results of Operations

Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 were $110.2
million, up from $101.4 million in the first quarter of last
year.  Net income for the quarter of $7.5 million, or $0.57
per share, increased from net income of $4.1 million, or
$0.32 per share, in the same quarter a year ago.

                                                      Page 6

During the first quarter of last year, the Company recorded
a tax benefit of $2.4 million, equal to $0.18 per share, for
research and development credits for prior fiscal years.
Also during that quarter, the Company adopted the Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 to account for the
future cost of retiree health benefits, and recorded a one-
time after tax charge of $2.9 million, equal to $0.22 per
share.  Fiscal 1994 earnings, excluding the two unusual
items, would have been $0.36 per share.

In the first quarter of fiscal 1995, PCC acquired the assets
of ACC Electronics, Inc., a manufacturer of advanced
technology metal matrix composite parts, for a purchase
price of $5.1 million.  The business operates as PCC
Composites, Inc., and is located in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania.

Results of Operations - Comparison Between Three Months
Ended July 3, 1994 and June 27, 1993

Sales increased $8.8 million (8.7%) compared with the first
quarter a year ago.  The increases in sales came from
aircraft engine spares, European requirements for engine
components at PCC-France, increased demand for metal
injection molded components for disk drives, and from
medical products.  New business for marine turbine
applications and space shuttle engine parts, and new engine
programs with Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney - Canada also
helped to offset lower build rates for new jet engines.

Sales of aerospace and aircraft products accounted for 83%
of total sales, as compared with approximately 85% in the
first quarter of fiscal 1994.  Sales of electronics and
computer products now account for nearly 4% of all sales as
compared with 2% last year.

Cost of goods sold for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was
81.9%, reflecting improvement from the 84.7% reported in the
first quarter last year.  The lower cost of sales as a
percent of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1995
represents the sixth consecutive quarter of improving
margins.  Cost reduction, cost efficiencies due to higher
sales volumes, and the effects of restructuring activities
are largely responsible for the improvements in margins.

Interest income in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was $0.2
million, as compared with interest expense of $0.5 million
in the first quarter a year ago.  The interest income in
fiscal 1995 resulted from the strong cash position at the
end of fiscal 1994.

                                                      Page 7

The effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 1995
was 38%.  This compares to last year's effective tax rate of
39.2%, before consideration of the benefit from research and
development tax credits of $2.4 million.  The lower current
effective tax rate reflects the impact in last fiscal year
of restating the deferred tax liability for the increase in
federal tax rates from 34% to 35%.

Changes in Financial Condition and Liquidity

Total assets at July 3, 1994 were $348.8 million, an
increase of $5.9 million from April 3, 1994 levels.
Receivables increased $7.5 million from last year-end due to
higher sales volume and somewhat slower collections.
Inventory increased $3.4 million, consistent with the
increasing  sales levels throughout the Company.    Goodwill
and other assets increased $7.8 million, reflecting the
acquisition of PCC - Composites.

Cash from earnings of $15.3 million was nearly offset by
increases in working capital, yielding a net $1.0 million of
cash provided by operating activities.  The $5.1 million in
cash used for the acquisition of PCC - Composites, capital
expenditures of $3.2 million, and debt reductions of $4.0
consumed $12.3 million in cash.  As a result, cash was down
$11.0 million in the quarter to $44.2 million.

Total capitalization at July 3, 1994, was $242.9 million,
consisting of $11.7 million of debt and $231.2 million of
equity.  The debt-to-equity ratio was 0.05 compared with
0.07 at the end of the prior fiscal year.

PCC believes that future capital requirements for property,
plant and equipment and dividend payments can be funded from
cash or additional borrowings.  The Company continues to
evaluate potential acquisitions and believes acquisition
opportunities can be funded from cash, additional borrowings
or the issuance of stock.
