NOTE  3.     INCOME  TAXES

     During  the third quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company reversed its deferred
income  tax  valuation  allowance  of  approximately  $36.4 million and recorded
approximately  a  $34.5  million deferred income tax benefit.  This reversal was
due  to  the Company's assessment of past earnings history and trends (exclusive
of  non-recurring  charges),  sales  backlog,  budgeted  sales  and  earnings,
stabilization  of  financial condition, and the periods available to realize the
future  tax  benefits.  Excluding  this reversal, the provision for income taxes
for  the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998 differed from the U.S. federal
statutory  rate of 34% primarily due to (a) the partial utilization of available
U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards, and (b) taxes on foreign earnings
against  which  the Company was unable to utilize its U.S. federal net operating
loss  carryforwards.

NOTE  4.     BUSINESS  PROCESS  REENGINEERING  COSTS

     On  November  20, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging
Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued a consensus ruling which requires that certain
business  process  reengineering and information technology transformation costs
be  expensed  as  incurred.  The  EITF  also  consented  that if such costs were
previously  capitalized,  then  any  remaining  unamortized  portion  of  those
identifiable  costs should be written off and reported as a cumulative effect of
a  change  in  accounting  principle  in  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1998.
Accordingly,  the  Company  recorded  the  cumulative  effect of this accounting
change,  net of tax, of $450,000, resulting from a pre-tax write-off of $750,000
related  to  reengineering  charges  involved  in  the  implementation  of  an
information  technology  project.

NOTE  5.     TERMINATED  ACQUISITION  COSTS

     On  March  3,  1998,  the  Company  announced  that  Haynes  Holdings, Inc.
("Holdings" ),  its  parent  corporation,  and   Blackstone  Capital Partners II
Merchant  Banking  Fund  L.P.  and  two  of  its  affiliates  ("Blackstone") had
abandoned their attempt  to acquire  Inco Alloys International  ("IAI"),  a 100%
owned  business  unit  of  Inco  Limited  ("Inco"). Approximately  $7.5  million
of  deferred  acquisition costs  were  charged  to  operations  in  the  quarter
ended  March  31,  1998.

Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  on  December  22,  1997.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

THREE  MONTHS  ENDED  JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

     Net  Revenues.  Net  revenues  decreased  approximately  $2.0  million  to
approximately  $60.9  million  in  the  third quarter of 1998 from approximately
$62.9  million  in  the  third quarter of 1997, primarily as a result of an 8.2%
decrease  in volume, to approximately 4.5 million pounds in the third quarter of
1998  from  approximately 4.9 million pounds in the third quarter of 1997.  This
decrease  was  partially  offset by an increase in the average selling price per
pound  to  $13.35 from $12.68 for the third quarter of 1998 compared to the same
period  in  1997.

     Sales  to  the  aerospace  market  in  the  third  quarter of 1998 declined
approximately  $2.0  million  to  $27.9  million compared to approximately $29.9
million for the same period in 1997.  Domestic and export volume declined due to
lower  manufacturers  requirements.  Sales  to the aerospace sector reflect some
uncertainty  in  demand, which appears to be a result of inventory correction by
commercial  aircraft  manufacturers  and  component  suppliers.  The decrease in
volume  was  partially  offset  by  an increase in the average selling price per
pound  in  the  third  quarter of 1998 compared to 1997 primarily as a result of
volume  increases  in  the  higher  priced,  cobalt-containing  alloys.

     Sales to the chemical processing industry in the third quarter of 1998 were
relatively  flat  at approximately $18.2 million compared to approximately $18.3
million  for the same period of 1997.  Volume shipped to the chemical processing
industry during the third quarter of 1998 decreased due to lower domestic sales.
While  volume  decreased, average selling prices per pound increased as a result
of improved pricing for the Company's products through its foreign subsidiaries.

     Sales  to  the  land-based  gas turbine market in the third quarter of 1998
decreased  26.4%  to  approximately $3.9 million from approximately $5.3 million
for  the  same  period  in  1997.  The  reduced  volume is due to adjustments of
manufacturers  schedules and lower demand for spare parts which is due to timing
of  maintenance  requirements.  Average  selling prices per pound decreased as a
result  of relatively higher sales of lower cost, lower priced iron-base alloys.

     Sales  to  the flue gas desulfurization ("FGD") market in the third quarter
of  1998 increased to approximately $2.1 million from approximately $500,000 for
the  same  period in 1997.  Increases in shipments through the Company's foreign
subsidiaries  offset  lower  average  selling  prices  per  pound.  FGD business
typically  involves large project requirements which may vary significantly from
quarter  to  quarter.

     Sales  to  the  oil  and  gas  market  in  the  third  quarter of 1998 were
relatively  flat  at  $3.0 million compared to approximately $3.3 million in the
third  quarter  of  1997.  Sales to this sector are typically linked to sour gas
project  requirements,  which may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and
year  to  year.


<PAGE>


     Sales  to  other  markets  in  the  third quarter of 1998 increased 8.3% to
approximately  $5.2  million from approximately $4.8 million for the same period
in 1997.  Volume decreases for automotive applications were offset by the higher
average  selling  prices  achieved  with  smaller  volume  maintenance  orders.

     Cost  of  Sales.  Cost  of  sales  as  a  percentage  of  net  revenues was
relatively  flat  at 78.3% in the third quarter of 1998 compared to 78.8% in the
same  period  last  year.  Volume in the higher priced, higher value added sheet
and  coil  forms decreased in the third quarter of 1998 in part due to unplanned
outages  in  the  sheet  and  coil  production  equipment, compared to the third
quarter  of  1997.  This decrease was partially offset by reduced material costs
in  the  third  quarter  of  1998  compared  to  the  same  period  a  year ago.

     Selling  and  Administrative Expenses.  Selling and administrative expenses
decreased  approximately  $300,000  to  approximately  $4.3 million in the third
quarter  of  1998 from approximately $4.6 million in the same period a year ago,
primarily  as  a  result  of  lower  benefit  related  costs.

     Research  and Technical Expenses.  Research and technical expenses remained
flat  at  approximately  $900,000  in  the third quarter of 1998 compared to the
third  quarter  of  1997.

     Operating Income.  As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized
operating  income  for  the third quarter of 1998 of approximately $8.0 million,
approximately  $2.1  million  of  which was contributed by the Company's foreign
subsidiaries.  For the third quarter of 1997, operating income was approximately
$7.9  million,  of  which  approximately  $1.0  million  was  contributed by the
Company's foreign subsidiaries.

     Other.  Other  cost  increased  by  approximately  $400,000, due in part to
lower foreign exchange gains and higher bad debt provisions in the third quarter
of  1998  compared  to  the  same  period  in  1997.

     Interest  Expense.  Interest  expense  decreased  approximately $100,000 to
approximately $5.2 million for the third quarter of 1998 from approximately $5.3
million for the same period in 1997.  Lower revolving credit balances during the
third  quarter  of  fiscal  1998  contributed  to  this  decrease.

     Income  Taxes.  An  income  tax provision of approximately $1.0 million was
recorded  for  the  third quarter of 1998 compared to a benefit of approximately
$33.1  million  in  fiscal  1997.  The  benefit  recorded in 1997 was due to the
Company's  reversal  of  its  deferred  tax valuation allowance.  The provision
recorded  in  1998  was  primarily  due  to  higher foreign subsidiary earnings.

     Net  Income.  As  a result of the above factors, the Company recognized net
income  for the third quarter of 1998 of approximately $1.3 million, compared to
net  income  of  approximately  $35.8  million  for  the  third quarter of 1997.

<PAGE>
NINE  MONTHS  ENDED  JUNE  30,  1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

     Net  Revenues.  Net revenues increased approximately $7.3 million, or 4.1%,
to  approximately  $187.1  million  in  the  first  nine  months  of  1998  from
approximately  $179.8  million  in the first nine months of 1997, primarily as a
result  of a 1.4% increase in shipments, to approximately 14.0 million pounds in
the  first  nine  months  of 1998, from approximately 13.8 million pounds in the
first nine months of 1997.  Volume increases occurred in essentially all markets
except  the  aerospace  and  other  markets.  Average  selling  prices per pound
increased  to  $13.17 from $12.90 for the first nine months of 1998, compared to
the  same  period  in  1997.  Increases  in  the average selling price per pound
occurred  in the aerospace and  other  market segments as a result of changes in
product  mix.

     Sales  to  the aerospace market for the first nine months of 1998 decreased
1.0%  to  approximately  $85.5  million from approximately $86.3 million for the
same  period  in 1997.  Average selling prices increased resulting from a larger
volume  of higher value added cobalt-containing alloys.  While revenues improved
in  the domestic airframe market segment resulting from slight volume increases,
revenues  declined  for  the  domestic  and  export  gas turbine market segment.

     Sales  to  the chemical processing industry during the first nine months of
1998  increased  11.5%  to approximately $59.9 million, from approximately $53.7
million  in the first nine months of 1997.  The sales increase was the result of
an increase in volume in project activity from export markets for the first nine
months  of  1998  compared  to  the first nine months of 1997.  This increase in
volume  was  partially  offset  by  a reduction in average selling prices due to
proportionately higher sales of lower cost, lower priced product forms, although
the  Company  experienced  improved  pricing  in the third quarter due to higher
prices  for  products  sold  through  the  Company's  foreign  subsidiaries.

     Sales to the land-based gas turbine market in the first nine months of 1998
decreased  2.3%  to approximately $13.0 million from approximately $13.3 million
for  the  comparable  period  in  1997.  Slower  activity in the domestic market
during  the  last two quarters has been caused by industry inventory adjustments
and  revised  build schedules resulting in the slight decline in revenue for the
period.

     Sales to the flue gas desulfurization ("FGD") market increased in the first
nine  months  of  1998  to  approximately  $6.4  million from approximately $5.5
million for the same period in 1997.  The increase in sales can be attributed to
an  increase  in volume due to export project shipments during the third quarter
of  1998.   FGD business typically involves large project requirements which may
vary  significantly  from  quarter  to  quarter.

     Sales  to  the  oil  and  gas  industry  in  the  first nine months of 1998
increased  to approximately $4.5 million from $3.5 million for the same period a
year  ago.  Those  requirements  vary  substantially from quarter to quarter and
year  to  year.  As  of June 30, 1998, the backlog for remaining  shipments this
year  is  approximately  $1.2  million.

     Sales to other markets in the first nine months of 1998 remained relatively
flat  at  approximately  $14.9  million from approximately $15.1 million for the
same  period  a  year  ago.  An increase in average selling prices due to higher
sales  of  higher cost, higher priced specialty alloy products in the first nine
months  of  1998  helped  to  reduce  the  impact  of  decreased  volume.

     Cost  of Sales.  Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues increased to
77.4% for the first nine months of 1998 from 76.8% in the same period last year.
Volume  in  the  higher priced, high value added product sheet coil and seamless
forms  decreased  in  the  first nine months of 1998, compared to the first nine
months  of  1997.  Part  of  this  volume decline was due to unplanned equipment
outages  particularly  during  the  third  quarter  of  1998.  This decrease was
partially  offset  by  reduced  material  costs in the first nine months of 1998
compared  to  the  same  period  a  year  ago.

     Selling  and  Administrative Expenses.  Selling and administrative expenses
decreased  approximately  $500,000  to  approximately $13.5 million in the first
nine  months  of 1998 from approximately $14.0 million in the same period a year
ago,  primarily  as  a  result  of  lower  benefit  related  costs.


<PAGE>
     Recapitalization  Expense.  Recapitalization  expense of approximately $8.7
million  recorded  in  the first nine months of 1997 includes approximately $6.2
million  of expenses paid by the Company in connection with the recapitalization
of  the  Company  and  Holdings,  pursuant to which Blackstone acquired 79.9% of
Holdings  outstanding  shares.   In  addition,  approximately  $2.5  million  in
non-cash  compensation  expense was recorded pertaining to certain modifications
to  management  stock  option  agreements  which  eliminated put and call rights
provided  therein.

     Research  and Technical Expenses. Research and technical expenses decreased
approximately $100,000 to approximately $2.8 million in the first nine months of
1998 from approximately $2.9 million in the first nine months of 1997, primarily
as  a  result  of  a decrease in research efforts sponsored by the Company which
vary  from  year  to  year.

     Operating Income.  As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized
operating  income  for  the  first  nine  months  of 1998 of approximately $26.0
million,  approximately  $5.4  million of which was contributed by the Company's
foreign  subsidiaries.  For  the first nine months of 1997, operating income was
approximately $16.2 million, of which approximately $3.5 million was contributed
by  the  Company's  foreign  subsidiaries.

     Other.  Other  cost  (income),  net,  increased approximately $800,000 from
income  of  approximately $60,000 in the first nine months of 1997 to an expense
of  approximately  $722,000  for  the  first nine months of 1998, primarily as a
result  of  lower  foreign  exchange  gains realized in the first nine months of
1998,  as  compared  to foreign exchange gains experienced during the first nine
months  of  1997.

     Terminated Acquisition Costs. Terminated acquisition costs of approximately
$7.5  million  were recorded in the first nine months of 1998 in connection with
the  abandoned  attempt  to acquire IAI by Holdings.  These costs previously had
been  deferred.

     Interest  Expense.  Interest  expense  increased  approximately $700,000 to
approximately $16.0 million for the first nine months of 1998 from approximately
$15.3 million for the same period in 1997.  Higher revolving credit balances and
higher  debt  issuance  cost  amortization  contributed  to  this  increase.

     Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes of approximately $1.3 million
for  the  first nine months of 1998 was primarily due to taxes on higher foreign
earnings.  The  benefit from income taxes of approximately $31.3 million for the
first  nine  months  of  1997 was due primarily to the Company's reversal of its
deferred  tax  valuation  allowance.

     Change  in  Accounting  Principle.  The  cumulative  effect  of a change in
accounting principle recorded in 1998 represents the write-off of the cumulative
effect  of  certain  business  process  reengineering and information technology
transformation  costs  that  were previously capitalized.  The cumulative effect
includes  $750,000  in  costs,  reduced  by  a  $300,000  tax benefit related to
business  process  reengineering  charges  incurred  in the implementation of an
information  technology  project.

     Net  Income.  As  a result of the above factors, the Company recognized net
income  for the first nine months of 1998 of approximately $153,000, compared to
net  income  of  approximately  $32.3 million for the first nine months of 1997.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

     The Company's near-term future cash needs will be driven by working capital
requirements,  and  planned  capital  expenditures.  Capital  expenditures  were
approximately $3.9 million in the first nine months of 1998, compared to capital
expenditures  of  approximately  $5.7 million for the first nine months of 1997.
The majority of the first nine months 1998 capital spending was for the purchase
of a warehouse formerly leased by the Company's Swiss subsidiary.  The remainder
of planned 1998 expenditures will be for improvements in cost, quality, capacity
and  reliability  of manufacturing operations.  The Company does not expect such
capital  expenditures  to  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  its long-term
liquidity.  The  Company  expects  to fund its working capital needs and capital
expenditures  with  cash  provided  from  operations, supplemented by borrowings
under  its  Revolving  Credit  Facility  with CoreStates Bank, N.A. and Congress
Financial  Corporation (the "Facility" ).  The Company believes these sources of
capital  will  be  sufficient  to  fund  these  capital expenditures and working
capital requirements over the next 12 months, although there can be no assurance
of  this.

<PAGE>

     Net  cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 1998
was  approximately  $10.1  million,  as  compared  to net cash used in operating
activities of approximately $10.5 million in the first nine months of 1997.  The
positive  cash  flow  from  operations  for  1998  was primarily the result of a
decrease  in  inventories of approximately $8.9 million.  The cash flow was also
affected  by  an  increase  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses  of
approximately  $100,000,  non-cash  depreciation  and  amortization  expense  of
approximately  $6.9  million,  net income of approximately $153,000, an increase
in  accounts receivable of approximately $6.5 million, and other net adjustments
of  approximately  $600,000.

     Net  cash  used  in  investing  activities  decreased to approximately $3.5
million  in the first nine months of 1998 from approximately $5.7 million in the
same  period for 1997, primarily as a result of decreased capital spending.  Net
cash  used  in  financing  activities  for  the  first  nine  months of 1998 was
approximately  $7.7  million,  compared  to  net  cash  provided  by  financing
activities  of  approximately  $13.9  million for the first nine months of 1997,
primarily  as  a  result  of  decreased  net  borrowings  by  the  Company.

     Cash for the first nine months of 1998 decreased approximately $1.1 million
resulting  in  a  cash  balance  of approximately $2.2 million at June 30, 1998.
Cash  in  the  first  nine  months of 1997 decreased approximately $2.3 million,
resulting  in  a  cash  balance  of approximately $2.4 million at June 30, 1997.

     Total  debt  at June 30, 1998, was approximately $176.2 million compared to
approximately  $183.8  million  at June 30, 1997, reflecting decreased borrowing
under  the  Facility  partially  offset  by increased borrowing by the Company's
Swiss  subsidiary.

     At June 30, 1998, approximately $35.7 million had been borrowed pursuant to
the  Facility  compared  to  approximately  $44.3  million at June 30, 1997.  In
addition,  as  of  June 30, 1998, approximately $3.3 million in letter of credit
reimbursement  obligations  had  been  incurred by the Company.  The Company had
available  additional  borrowing  capacity of approximately $10.2 million on the
Facility  at  June  30,  1998.

ACQUISITION  BY  HOLDINGS

     In  June  1997,  Inco  and  Blackstone jointly announced the execution of a
definitive  agreement  ("Acquisition") for the sale by Inco of 100% of their IAI
business  unit to Holdings.  On March 3, 1998, Blackstone and Holdings abandoned
their  attempt  to  purchase  IAI  after the Department of Justice announced its
intention  to challenge the proposed acquisition.  Certain fees paid and accrued
by  the  Company  in  connection with the Acquisition have been accounted for as
terminated  acquisition  costs  and  charged  against  income  in  the  period.

ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 129,  Disclosure
of  Information  about  Capital  Structure  ,  is  effective for the year ending
September  30,  1998.  SFAS  No. 130,  Reporting Comprehensive Income , SFAS No.
131,  Disclosures  About  Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information  and
SFAS  No.  132,  Employers  Disclosures  About Pension and Other Post-Retirement
Benefits  ,  are  effective  for  the  year  ending September 30, 1999.   In the
opinion of management, SFAS No. 129, SFAS No. 130, SFAS No. 131 and SFAS No. 132
will  not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of
operations  or  cash  flows,  as  these  statements  are  principally disclosure
oriented.

     SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
is effective for all fiscal  quarters  of fiscal years  beginning after June 15,
1999.  This  statement  establishes  accounting  and  reporting   standards  for
derivative  instruments  and for hedging activities.  It requires that an entity
recognize  all  derivatives  as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value.  The accounting
for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the
derivative and the resulting designation.  Management has not yet quantified the
effect  of  the  new  standard  on  the  financial  statements.

YEAR  2000  COSTS

     The  Company  is  undergoing  an  information technology project to replace
certain  information  systems,  in  addition  to addressing Year 2000 compliance
issues.  The  Company  has  contracted  with  a  third  party  to  evaluate  the
manufacturing  systems  and document the Year 2000 exposure.  The total costs of
this  evaluation  and  taking  remedial  measures  are  not  expected  to exceed
$500,000.  The  Company  feels  that  the  implementation  of  the  information
technology  project  and  the  evaluation  and  subsequent  remedies  of  the
manufacturing  systems  will  adequately  address  the  Year  2000  issue.
