                    ALLEGHENY LUDLUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)

          NOTE 1--FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          This financial information should be read in conjunction with the
          financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended
          January 1, 1995.  The accompanying unaudited condensed
          consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
          accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
          interim financial information and with the instructions for Form
          10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not
          include all of the information and footnotes required by
          generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
          statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
          (consisting only of normal accruals) considered necessary for a
          fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
          fiscal quarter ended April 2, 1995 are not necessarily indicative
          of results of operations that may be expected for the fiscal year
          ending December 31, 1995.

          Net income per common share was computed based on the weighted
          average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
          periods: 70,567,973 shares for the fiscal quarter ended April 2,
          1995 and 70,938,937 shares for the fiscal quarter ended April 3,
          1994.

          The Company's fiscal year and fiscal quarters end on the Sunday
          closest to the last day of the calendar month.

          NOTE 3--LITIGATION

          The Company is a defendant in a case filed in 1989 by Allegheny
          International, Inc. in the United States District Court for the
          Western District of Pennsylvania which is being pursued by
          Sunbeam-Oster, Inc.  The case involves claims for reimbursement
          of various alleged insurance coverage costs and recovery of a
          refund received by Allegheny Ludlum with respect to a federal
          income tax overpayment, in the aggregate amount of approximately
          $8 million.  The Company believes that Sunbeam-Oster's claims are
          without merit and is defending the case vigorously.

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

         This discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in
     the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed
     Consolidated Financial Statements.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         Net sales by product line were as follows:
                                             Fiscal Quarter Ended
                                        ------------------------------ 
                                        April 2, 1995    April 3, 1994
                                        -------------    -------------
                                                  (millions)
     Stainless steel                       $321.9            $246.0     
     Silicon electrical steel                35.7              42.9
     Other specialty alloy                   37.7              25.0
                                            -----             -----
     Total net sales                       $395.3            $313.9
                                            =====             =====

         Sales and shipments reached record highs in the 1995 first quarter. 
     Net sales increased 26% in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the first
     quarter of 1994.  Shipments increased to 165,383 tons in the 1995 period
     compared to 145,061 tons in the 1994 period.  Market demand for stainless
     steel and other specialty alloy products continues to be strong.  The
     favorable effect of this high market demand is expected to continue for at
     least several months.

         Stainless steel sales increased 31% in the first quarter of 1995
     compared to the first quarter of 1994.  The increase was due to higher
     shipments combined with price increases and selling price surcharges that
     were necessitated by sharply higher raw material costs.

         Silicon electrical steel sales decreased 17% in the 1995 first quarter
     compared to the 1994 quarter.  The decrease was due to lower shipments of
     domestic and finished export products resulting from lower demand for the
     Company's products.  The decrease was partially offset by increased
     shipments of semi-finished export products and higher prices for most
     silicon electrical steel products.

         Other specialty alloy sales increased 51% over the 1994 period due to
     higher shipments of high temperature and corrosion resistant alloys and
     tool steels, higher prices, selling price surcharges necessitated by
     sharply increased raw material costs and a shift to higher value products.

         Cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales increased 1.1
     percentage points in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the first
     quarter of 1994.  The increase was primarily due to sharply increased raw
     material costs and the production of certain products on less efficient
     alternate equipment to meet strong market demand. Based on the current mix
     of products and specifications in its product line, the Company has been
     operating most of its stainless steel facilities at virtual capacity. 
     Market prices for chromium continue to increase while market prices for
     molybdenum and nickel have decreased from the high levels reached in the
     first quarter of 1995.  Price surcharges for molybdenum and chromium are
     expected to continue in the second quarter of 1995.




                                          9 
<PAGE>
 


         Research, development and technology costs increased in the 1995 first
     quarter compared to the first quarter of 1994 primarily due to increased
     expense for incentive compensation plans related to Company financial
     results or common stock value and higher technical support of
     manufacturing processes due to increased production levels.

         Commercial and administrative costs increased in the 1995 quarter over
     the 1994 quarter primarily due to increased expense for compensation plans
     related to Company financial results or common stock value, which were
     partially offset by lower expense for the Washington Plant due to realized
     synergies following the acquisition of the plant in 1993.

         Earnings from assets held for sale are primarily attributable to two
     companies acquired in 1993.  Two investment banking firms have been 
     engaged to handle the sale of these companies.

         Other income-net in 1995 benefited from the sale of surplus 
     equipment and business interruption insurance claim recovery which were
     partially offset by the write-off of non-productive equipment.

         The decrease in the effective income tax rate to 41.1% in 1995 from
     42.6% in 1994 resulted primarily from lower state tax rates.

     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

        Working capital increased to $241.6 million at the end of the first
     quarter of 1995 compared to $225.4 million at the end of 1994.  The 
     current ratios were 2.2 and 2.3 in the same periods.  The increase in
     working capital was primarily due to higher balances of cash and trade
     receivables due to higher sales which were partially offset by lower
     inventories and increased liabilities for compensation and benefits and
     income taxes.

         In the first three months of 1995, cash on hand and cash from
     operations of $63.7 million were used to invest $4.4 million in capital
     equipment, pay down $1.0 million of debt and purchase $10.1 million in
     treasury stock.  These transactions resulted in a cash position of $62.1
     million at the end of the first quarter of 1995.

         A total of $100 million continues to be available under the Company's
     revolving credit agreement dated December 28, 1990, as amended.  The
     supplemental $50 million revolving credit agreement the Company entered in
     May 1994, in connection with the 1994 labor strike, expired April 30, 1995.

         The Company continues to estimate that capital expenditures will be
     approximately $30 million for the year 1995.

         The Company anticipates that internally generated funds, current cash
     on hand and borrowing from existing credit lines will be adequate to meet
     foreseeable needs.
