                               JASON INCORPORATED
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company operates in three primary business segments:  power generation
products, motor vehicle products and industrial products.  Power generation
products include the design and manufacture of silencing equipment, waste heat
recovery boilers, and other auxiliary equipment for the gas turbine and other
industries and the design and fabrication of electromagnetic shielding products
for medical and other electronic equipment applications.  Motor vehicle products
include the manufacture and marketing of nonwoven needled fiber insulation,
mastic insulation, dielectric padding and other interior trim products primarily
for the automotive industry but also for furniture and industrial uses, plus
seating products for motorcycles, construction, agricultural and lawn/turf care
equipment.  Industrial products include the manufacture and marketing of
industrial brushes, buffing wheels and compound used by manufacturers to finish
a wide variety of manufactured products, plus the manufacture and marketing of
precision components such as precision stampings, wire form components and
expanded metal products.

The financial statements at June 30, 1995 and July 1, 1994 and for the three and
six month periods then ended are unaudited, however, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at these dates and
the results of operations and cash flows for these periods have been included.
The results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or
any other interim period.

Earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  The weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the second
quarters of 1995 and 1994 amounted to 20,648,000 and 20,683,000, respectively.
The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during the first six months of 1995 and 1994 amounted to 20,633,000 and
20,515,000, respectively.  Shares issuable under employee stock option plans are
included in the earnings per share computations for all periods presented.


NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

On January 3, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of Milsco
Manufacturing company for $45.3 million, including acquisition costs.  Milsco is
a designer and manufacturer of seating for motorcycles, construction equipment,
agricultural equipment and lawn/turf care equipment.

On January 31, 1994 the Company acquired the stock and business of DLTK, Inc.
("Deltak") for approximately $30.3 million, including acquisition costs.  Deltak
is a manufacturer of heat recovery steam generators and specialty boilers
serving the power generation market.

The aforementioned acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase
method and, as such, their operating results have been included in the Company's
financial statements since their respective acquisition dates.  The unaudited
information shown below presents, on a pro forma basis, the consolidated results
of the Company's operations for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and July 1,
1994 as though the purchases were made as of the beginning of the period.  The
unaudited pro forma information assumed that the acquisitions were accounted for
using the purchase method; as such, the assets acquired and the liabilities
assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values at the dates of the
acquisitions.  Studies have been undertaken to determine the fair value of the
net assets of Milsco, however, such studies have not been completed and when
complete will result in adjustments to these preliminary estimates.

The unaudited pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the operations
of Jason,  Milsco and Deltak  as they would have been had these entities existed
as one for the periods shown and the operating results should not be deemed to
be indicative of the future operations of the combined entity.

The unaudited pro forma information is based upon certain assumptions that
management believes are reasonable.  (Amounts are in thousands, except per share
data):

NOTE 4 - POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

Effective January 1, 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits", which
requires employers to account for the cost of these benefits on an accrual
basis.  The Company's post employment obligations consist primarily of
disability benefits.  The effect on first six months of fiscal 1994 net income
was as follows:

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the three months ended July 1,
1994:

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased by 18% from $90,885,000
for the three months ended July 1, 1994 to $107,233,000.  Sales of power
generation products increased by 12% from $33,183,000 to $37,109,000.  Sales of
motor vehicle products increased by 44% from $26,339,000 to $37,990,000.  Sales
of industrial products increased by 2% from $31,363,000 to $32,134,000.

The increase in power generation sales was a result of a higher level of project
completions in the second quarter of 1995 compared to the prior year due to
customer requirements.  The Power Generation backlog at the beginning of the
second quarter of 1995 was $79 million compared to $91 million a year earlier.
Bookings were down 13% in the second quarter of 1995 compared to the second
quarter of 1994 from $36 million to $32 million.  Sales for the second quarter
were $37 million compared to $33 million last year, leaving the backlog at the
end of the second quarter of 1995 at $74 million (equal to the backlog at the
beginning of 1995) compared to $94 million a year ago.  Bookings and backlog are
down from last year as a result of a continuing weakness in the U.S. power
generation market and delays of several large overseas booking prospects caused
by financing, contract terms and other factors.  Overseas demand for the
Company's power generation products continues to appear strong with many
promising booking prospects.

The increase in motor vehicle products sales is primarily a result of the
inclusion of Milsco Manufacturing, acquired on January 3, 1995 in the results
for the second quarter of 1995.  Milsco is a designer and manufacturer of
seating for motorcycles, construction equipment, agricultural equipment and
lawn/turf care equipment.  Excluding Milsco, sales for the segment were about
equal to the second quarter of last year.  The U.S. automobile industry built 3%
fewer vehicles in the second quarter of 1995 than they did last year, however,
the door insert program for the Oldsmobile Aurora, which began production in mid
1994, improved sales in the second quarter of 1995 compared to the prior year.
Dealer inventories of domestic cars and light trucks are up compared to last
year from 57 days (2.6 million units) at the end of the second quarter of 1994
to 65 days (3.1 million units) at the end of the second quarter of 1995.  It is
likely that the additional 500,000 vehicles in dealer inventories at the end of
the second quarter will have a negative impact on production volume in the
second half compared to last year unless vehicle sales improve.

The increase in industrial products sales is a result of an improvement in the
Koller expanded metal, wire form, stamped components and assembled products
operations as well as an improvement in the Osborn brush business.  The
JacksonLea buff and compound business was off for the quarter compared to last
year as a result of two business markets that are influenced by housing starts,
plumbing goods and door hardware.  With the improvement in the economy,
management expects that sales for the industrial products segment for the third
quarter will be up compared to the prior year.

Operating income improved in the second quarter of 1995 from $7,277,000 in the
second quarter of 1994 to $8,517,000.  Operating income for the power generation
products segment improved from $2,593,000 in the second quarter of 1994 to
$3,424,000.  This improvement in power generation segment operating income is a
result of higher volume in exhaust systems and dampers which more than offset
lower volume in heat recovery steam generators.

Operating income for the motor vehicle products segment improved from $3,406,000
in the second quarter of 1994 to $4,033,000 due to the addition of Milsco,
acquired January 3, 1995.   Excluding Milsco, segment operating income declined
due to lower earnings at Janesville Products, a result of downward pressure on
price levels, start up costs associated with a new facility in Norwalk, Ohio and
lower earnings from the Mexican joint venture due to the peso devaluation and
its effect on the Mexican economy.

Operating income for the industrial products segment declined from $1,808,000 in
the second quarter of 1994 to $1,680,000.  This decrease in operating income was
a result of decreased volume and higher material costs at the Company's
JacksonLea operation, partially offset by improved volume and profitability at
the Osborn brush and Koller precision components operations.

Corporate expenses increased the second quarter of 1995 from $530,000 in the
second quarter of 1994 to $620,000.  This increase is primarily due to an
increase in management incentive compensation.

Interest expense increased by $609,000 in the second quarter of 1995 from
$1,905,000 in the second quarter of 1994 to $2,514,000.  This increase in
interest expense is a result of increased borrowings made in connection with the
acquisition of Milsco Manufacturing on January 3, 1995 ($45.3 million purchase
price).

Other expense in the second quarters of 1995 and 1994 represents deferred
financing cost amortization partially offset by royalty income from foreign
licensees of the Company's finishing products.


Six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the six months ended July 1, 1994:

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 increased by 21% from $178,370,000
for the six months ended July 1, 1994 to $215,899,000.  Sales of power
generation products increased by 14% from $63,114,000 to $72,086,000.  Sales of
motor vehicle products increased by 48% from $52,406,000 to $77,441,000.  Sales
of industrial products increased by 6% from $62,850,000 to $66,372,000.

The increase in power generation sales was a result of a higher level of project
completions in the first half of 1995 compared to the prior year due to customer
requirements plus the inclusion of Deltak, a manufacturer of heat recovery steam
generators and specialty boilers acquired January 31, 1994, for the entire first
half of 1995 compared to five months in the first half of 1994.  The Power
Generation backlog at the beginning of 1995 was $74 million compared to $105
million a year earlier.  Bookings were up 38% in the first half of 1995 compared
to the first half of 1994 from $52 million to $72 million.  Sales were $72
million for the first half of 1995 compared to $63 million for the first half of
last year leaving the backlog at the end of the first half of 1995 at $74
million compared to $94 million a year ago.  Bookings and backlog are down from
last year as a result of a continuing weakness in the U.S. power generation
market and delays of several large overseas booking prospects caused by
financing, contract terms and other factors.  Overseas demand for the Company's
power generation products continues to appear strong with many promising booking
prospects.


The increase in motor vehicle products sales is primarily a result of the
inclusion of Milsco Manufacturing, acquired on January 3, 1995, in the results
for the first half of 1995.  Excluding Milsco, sales for the segment were up 3%
compared to the first half of last year.  The U.S. automobile industry built 1%
fewer vehicles in the first half of 1995 than they did last year, however, the
door insert program for the Oldsmobile Aurora, which began production in mid
1994, improved sales in the first half of 1995 compared to the prior year.

The increase in industrial products sales is a result of an improvement in the
Koller expanded metal, wire form, stamped components and assembled products
operations as well as an improvement in the Osborn brush business.  The
JacksonLea buff and compound business was off slightly in the first half of 1995
compared to last year as a result of two business markets that are influenced by
housing starts, plumbing goods and door hardware.

Operating income improved in the first half of 1995 from $14,431,000 in the
first half of 1994 to $16,987,000.  Operating income for the power generation
products segment improved from $5,231,000 in the first half of 1994 to
$5,940,000.  This improvement in power generation segment operating income is a
result of higher volume in exhaust systems and dampers, which more than offset
lower volume in heat recovery steam generators, plus the inclusion of Deltak,
acquired January 31, 1994, for the entire first half of 1995 compared to five
months in the first half of 1994.

Operating income for the motor vehicle products segment improved from $6,692,000
in the first half of 1994 to $8,434,000 due to the addition of Milsco, acquired
January 3, 1995.  Excluding Milsco,  segment operating income for the first half
decreased due to lower earnings at Janesville Products, a result of downward
pressure on price levels, start up costs associated with a new facility in
Norwalk, Ohio and lower earnings from the Mexican joint venture due to the peso
devaluation and its effect on the Mexican economy, partially offset by higher
sales volume and operating income at Sackner Products.

Operating income for the industrial products segment improved slightly from
$3,760,000 in the first half of 1994 to $3,804,000.  This increase in operating
income was a result of decreased volume and higher material costs at the
Company's JacksonLea operation, more than offset by improved volume and
profitability at the Osborn brush and Koller precision components operations.

Corporate expenses decreased the first half of 1995 from $1,252,000 in the first
half of 1994 to $1,191,000.  This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in
management incentive compensation.

Interest expense increased by $1,145,000 in the first half of 1995 from
$3,797,000 in the first half of 1994 to $4,942,000.  This increase in interest
expense is a result of increased borrowings made in connection with the
acquisition of Milsco Manufacturing on January 3, 1995 ($45.3 million purchase
price).

Other expense in the first half of 1995 represents deferred financing cost
amortization and peso devaluation losses, partially offset by royalty income
from foreign licensees of the Company's finishing products.  Other expense in
the first half of 1994 represents deferred financing cost amortization offset by
royalty income.

In May 1995 a fire destroyed a building and equipment comprising the Janesville
Products Mexican operations in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.  Insurance is in
place to cover the replacement cost of the building and the equipment as well as
for business interruption.  The Company is in the process of finalizing the
insurance claim and expects to record a gain in the fourth quarter resulting
from the excess of replacement cost over the book value of the assets destroyed.
Mexican customers are receiving product from Janesville's U.S. operations.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first half of 1995, the Company satisfied the capital requirements of
its operations with internally generated funds.  In the first quarter of 1995,
the purchase price for Milsco amounting to $45.3 million was financed by an
extension of the Company's bank revolving loan facility and $17 million of
proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes to several of the former
shareholders of Milsco.  For the foreseeable future, the Company believes it
will generate funds from operations to meet the capital requirements of its
existing operations.  As of June 30, 1995 the Company had available unused
borrowing capacity of $55 million under its bank revolving loan facility.

During the first half of 1994, the Company also satisfied the capital
requirements of its operations with internally generated funds.  In the first
quarter of 1994, the purchase price for Deltak amounting to $30.3 million was
financed by an extension of the Company's bank revolving loan facility and $15
million of proceeds from the private placement of 1,363,637 restricted shares of
its $.10 par value common stock to several institutional investors.

During the first half of 1995, working capital increased by $13,621,000 from
$35,136,000 at December 30, 1994 to $48,757,000 at June 30, 1994.  This increase
was a result of working capital acquired in connection with the acquisition of
Milsco on January 3, 1995 and increased working capital in the power generation
businesses as many jobs moved out of the backlog into production and customer
advances were reduced.  During the first half of 1995, the Company generated
$8,329,000 in cash from operations.  The Company anticipates generating
additional cash flow from operations during the balance of the year.

In the first half of 1995 and 1994, the Company made capital expenditures of
$7,929,000 and $8,071,000, respectively.  The major 1995 expenditures were in
the motor vehicle products segment for equipment at Janesville Products to
support new molded Marabond_ programs, in the power generation segment to
purchase the manufacturing facility in Fort Smith, Arkansas and to improve
efficiency and at Koller, Milsco and Sackner to support new programs at those
locations.  Capital expenditures for 1995 are anticipated to approximate $16.0
million.  No significant commitments were outstanding as of June 30, 1995.


SEASONALITY

U.S. auto makers traditionally shut down for the annual model changeover in the
third quarter.  In addition, adjustments to production schedules are made
throughout the year based on retail auto sales and the level of dealer
inventories.  These seasonal patterns affect the Company's automotive trim
operations most significantly but also have somewhat of an impact on finishing
products due to the effect on automotive suppliers which use the Company's
finishing products.
