Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

(1)  During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company
     recorded a $2.4 million tax benefit, equal to $0.12 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.

(2)  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 $0.15 per
     share.

(3)  Net income per share is based on 19,900,000 shares
     outstanding for the nine months ended January 1, 1995
     and 19,500,000 shares outstanding for the nine months
     ended January 2, 1994.

(4)  In August, 1994, the Board of Directors declared a
     three-for-two stock split.  Accordingly, $6.7 million
     representing the stated value for additional shares
     issued was transferred from additional paid-in capital
     to common stock.

(5)  Interim financial statements subject to year end audit.
                                                            

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

In the third quarter, sales of $102.4 million were slightly
lower than the $103.6 million reported for the same quarter
a year ago. Net income increased seven percent to $6.4
million, as compared with $6.0 million in the third quarter
of last year.  On a per share basis, the earnings were $0.32
based on 19.9 million shares outstanding as compared with
last year's third quarter earnings of $0.31 based on 19.5
million shares.

Results of Operations - Comparison between Three Months
Ended January 1, 1995 and January 2, 1994

Sales declined $1.2 million, or one percent, from $103.6
million in the third quarter of last year to $102.4 million
in this year's third quarter.  This decline reflected a
reduction in sales of spares for aircraft jet engines.

                                                      Page 6

Higher sales levels of development castings, primarily for
industrial gas turbines, were not sufficient to overcome the
short-fall in sales to our major aircraft jet engine
customers.

Cost of goods sold as a percent of sales for the third
quarter of fiscal 1995 was 83.6%, slightly higher than the
83.0% reported in the third quarter last year.  The higher
cost of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 reflects
changes in the product sales mix.  First, because of the
continued weakness in orders for airfoils spares, the mix of
sales shifted toward more structural castings.  Second,
within the structural casting sales, the mix contained a
higher portion of new development castings, primarily for
industrial gas turbines.

Interest income in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 was $0.5
million, as compared with interest expense of $0.1 million
in the third quarter a year ago.  The interest income in
fiscal 1995 resulted from investment of cash balances
throughout the quarter, partially offset by interest expense
on lower borrowings.

The effective tax rate in the third 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%.

Results of Operations - Comparison between Nine Months Ended
January 1, 1995 and January 2, 1994

Sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 were $315.4
million, $2.5 million or one percent higher than last year's
first nine months' sales of $312.9 million.  Increased sales
of components for general industrial, ordnance and
electronics applications exceeded the declines in sales of
castings for aircraft jet engines, resulting in the higher
sales in fiscal 1995.

Cost of goods sold as a percent of sales was 82.4% for the
first nine months of fiscal 1995 compared with 84.1% for the
same period in fiscal 1994.  This improvement in cost of
sales has come from cost reductions, cost efficiencies due
to higher sales volumes at AFT, and the effects of
restructuring activities.

                                                      Page 7

Interest income of $1.1 million was earned in the first nine
months of fiscal year 1995 as compared with interest expense
of $1.0 million for the same period a year earlier.
Interest income in fiscal 1995 resulted from the strong cash
position at the end of fiscal 1994 and lower levels of debt.

The effective tax rate for the first three quarters 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 January 1, 1995 were $358.1 million, an
increase of $15.2 million from April 3, 1994 levels.
Receivables increased $5.1 million from last year-end due to
somewhat slower collections compared with the record high
collections achieved during the fourth quarter of last year.
Inventory increased $4.4 million, due to unexpected customer
push-outs and last quarter's purchases of cobalt in
anticipation of potential supply shortages and rising
prices.  Goodwill and other assets increased $9.5 million,
primarily reflecting the acquisition of PCC - Composites in
the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

Cash from earnings of $40.2 million for the first nine
months of fiscal 1995, plus cash of $9.0 million from the
sale of common stock through stock option exercises,
provided for increased working capital of $24.9 million,
$7.6 million of capital expenditures, $5.1 million for the
purchase of PCC - Composites, $4.7 million of debt
repayments and $3.2 million of cash dividends.  As a result,
cash increased $4.2 million since the end of fiscal 1994 to
a balance of $59.4 million.

Total capitalization at January 1, 1995, was $261.4 million,
consisting of $11.0 million of debt and $250.4 million of
equity.  The debt-to-equity ratio was 0.04 compared with
0.07 at the end of the prior fiscal year.

The Company can fund the pending Quamco acquisition from
existing cash and additional borrowings.  PCC believes it
can fund future requirements for capital spending, cash
dividends, additional acquisition opportunities and
potential stock repurchases from cash balances, additional
borrowings or the issuance of stock.
