NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The consolidated financial statements for the three-month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994 have not been audited by independent accountants,
but in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
balance sheet, consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement
of cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated have been made.
Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results of operations for the respective full years.

2. CONTINGENCIES

     Various legal actions are pending against the Company which seek relief or
damages including actions seeking contribution to cleaning costs of two
Superfund sites by plaintiff parties identified by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency.  While the final outcome of these matters
cannot be predicted with certainty at this time, management believes, after
consulting with counsel, that the ultimate liability, if any, will not have a
material effect on the consolidated financial position and results of
operations of the Company.


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


Liquidity and Capital Resources

    During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company's cash position
continued to improve.  The cash balance increased by $979,000 since the end of
fiscal 1995.  This improvement was caused primarily by earnings during the
first quarter.

    During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company incurred capital
expenditures of approximately $903,000.  Capital expenditures are expected to
total approximately $3.0 million for the year.  These expenditures are expected
to be funded out of operations, and any shortfall can be funded from the
Company's $7.5 million lines of credit.

    The level of trade receivables at September 30, 1995 was lower than at June
30, 1995 because of:

1.  Sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were lower than in the fourth
    quarter of fiscal 1995; and

2.  The first quarter of fiscal 1996 had a smaller percentage of sales to
    foreign customers where the terms tend to be longer than to domestic
    customers.


Results of Operations

    The results for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994
follow:

    Sales volume was less than the prior year because the Company held back the
sales volume to increase the inventory level in anticipation of a maintenance
shut down scheduled during the second quarter of fiscal 1996.

    Sales prices in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 were 31% higher than the
year before and 6% higher than the immediately preceding quarter.  These
increases reflect the impact of improving economies worldwide.  Sales prices in
the next few quarters are expected to increase further but not at the same pace
as during the last five fiscal quarters.

    The cost of sales per pound in the three-months ended September 30, 1995
was 27% higher than the same period last year.  The increase was due almost
entirely to higher raw material prices.  Raw material prices for the second
quarter of fiscal 1996 are about 10% lower than the first fiscal quarter.
However, the Company's raw material supplier has indicated that raw material
prices will increase the cost of production back to the first quarter level in
the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1996.  The Company will attempt to
offset any raw material price increases by further increasing sales prices, but
the ultimate success of this effort is impossible to predict.

    Miscellaneous income decreased for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as
compared to the same period in the prior year.  The decrease is due mainly to a
currency exchange loss in fiscal 1996 as compared to a currency exchange gain
in fiscal 1995.

    Interest expense for the three-months ended September 30, 1995 decreased as
compared to the same periods in the prior year.  The decrease is due to the
decreased level of borrowing in fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995.
Interest income increased in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to
the same period in fiscal 1995.  The increase is due to the increase in the
cash balance in fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995.

    The tax rate in fiscal 1996 is expected to be 32% rather than the 36% rate
in fiscal 1995.  The reduction in the rate is due to the expected benefit of
the Company's foreign sales corporation.

    An annual maintenance shut down is planned during the second quarter of
fiscal 1996.  It is expected that the M-II plant will be shut down for about
five weeks, and the M-I plant will be shut down for about two weeks.  The cost
of sales is expected to increase by approximately 5c. per pound during this
quarter because there will be less production pounds over which to spread fixed
and semi-fixed costs.  This cost of sales increase will be offset somewhat by
the lower raw material cost which is expected to save about 2c. per pound.
