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)  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 20,300,000 shares outstanding for the six
     months ended October 1, 1995, and 19,800,000 shares
     outstanding for the six months ended October 2, 1994.
     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 second quarter of fiscal 1996 were $134.0
million, up from $102.8 million in the second quarter of
last year.  Net income for the quarter of $9.5 million, or
$0.47 per share, increased from net income of $7.2 million,
or $0.36 per share, in the same quarter a year ago.

In the first quarter last year, PCC acquired the assets
comprising the business of PCC Composites, Inc. and in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 PCC purchased the Specialty
Products Division (SPD).

Results of Operations - Comparison Between Three Months
Ended October 1, 1995 and October 2, 1994

Sales increased $31.2 million (30.4%) compared with the
second quarter a year ago.  Approximately 65 percent of the
improvement in sales resulted from the SPD acquisition.  The
majority of the remaining improvement came from higher sales
of spares for aircraft jet engines and growth in non-
aerospace sales.

Cost of goods sold for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was
79.6%, reflecting improvement from the 81.8% reported in the
second quarter last year.  The lower cost of sales as a
percent of sales in 1996 resulted from the inclusion of
SPD's operations and leverage from the higher sales volume.

<PAGE>
                                                      Page 6

Selling and administrative expenses increased $3.8 million
from the $7.5 million a year ago to $11.3 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1996.  The higher level of selling
and administrative expenses reflects the addition of the SPD
operations in the current year.

In the second quarter of fiscal 1996, there was no net
interest income as compared with $0.4 million interest
income earned for the same period in fiscal 1995.  The
acquisition of SPD resulted in lower cash balances and
higher debt this year as compared with a year ago.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 1996
was 41%.  This compares to last year's effective tax rate of
38% and reflects higher amounts of non-deductible goodwill
amortization and lower amounts of tax free investment income
in the current year.

Results of Operations - Comparison between Six Months Ended
October 1, 1995 and October 2, 1994

Sales for the first six months of fiscal 1996 were $271.2
million, $58.2 million or 27.3% higher than last year's
first six months' sales of $213.0 million.  The majority of
the higher sales are the result of the acquisition of SPD in
the fourth quarter of 1995.  The remaining improvement is
largely attributable to higher sales of spares for aircraft
jet engines.

Cost of goods sold as a percent of sales was 79.8% for the
first six months of fiscal 1996 compared with 81.9% for the
same period in fiscal 1995. The lower cost of sales as a
percent of sales in 1996 reflects both the addition of the
SPD operations and the leverage from higher sales in the
other business operations.

Selling and administrative costs were $22.8 million for the
first half of 1996, up $7.3 million from $15.5 million for
first half of last year. The higher level of selling and
administrative expenses primarily reflects the addition of
the SPD operations in the current year.

The fiscal year-to-date 1996 net interest expense of $0.2
million reflects the lower cash balances and higher debt
resulting from the fourth quarter fiscal 1995 acquisition of
SPD.  By comparison, $0.6 million of interest income was
earned in the first six months of last year.

The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal
1996 was 41%, up from the 38% reflected in the prior year's
first six months as a result of higher amounts of non-
deductible goodwill amortization and lower amounts of tax
free investment income in the current year.

Changes in Financial Condition and Liquidity

Total assets at October 1, 1995, were $412.5 million, up
$5.8 million from April 2, 1995, levels.  The majority of
the total asset change was due to inventory increases of
$5.3 million, reflecting product shipment timing changes.

Year-to-date, cash from earnings of $29.6 million, plus cash
of $4.8 million from the sale of common stock through stock
option exercises, provided for increased working capital of
$9.2 million, $7.2 million of capital expenditures and
dividends of $2.4 million.  The favorable cash flow provided
for $10.8 million of debt repayments and a $5.1 million
increase in cash.

Total capitalization at October 1, 1995, was $294.7 million,
consisting of $15.2 million of debt and $279.5 million of
equity.  The debt-to-equity ratio was 0.05 compared with
0.10 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
existing 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.
