NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended December 31, 1998

Note 1.     Basis of Presentation

     The interim financial  statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments
(consisting  solely of normal  recurring  adjustments)  that,  in the opinion of
management,  are  necessary  for a fair  statement  of results  for the  interim
periods  presented.  This report  includes  information  in a condensed form and
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
included in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998, filed by the
Company  with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") on December 22,
1998.  The results of operations  for the three months ended  December 31, 1998,
are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full year
or any other interim period.

Note 2.     Inventories

     The following is a summary of the major classes of inventories:

</TABLE>

Note 3.     Income Taxes

     The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 1997
and 1998,  differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to
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.  Accordingly,  in the first quarter of fiscal
1998 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.     Comprehensive Income

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")
No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive Income",  effective October 1, 1998. SFAS No.
130  required  that  changes  in  the  Company's  foreign  currency  translation
adjustment be shown in the financial statements. SFAS No. 130 does not require a
specific  format for the financial  statement in which  comprehensive  income is
reported,  but does  require  that an amount  representing  total  comprehensive
income be reported in that statement.  All prior year financial  statements have
been reclassified for comparative purposes.

and Exchange Commission on December 22, 1998.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Three Months Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31,
1997

     Net  Revenues.  Net  revenues  decreased  approximately  $15.0  million  to
approximately  $49.2  million in the first  quarter  of 1999 from  approximately
$64.2  million in the first  quarter of 1998,  primarily  as a result of a 22.9%
decrease in volume,  to approximately 3.7 million pounds in the first quarter of
1999 from approximately 4.8 million pounds in the first quarter of 1998.

     Sales to the  aerospace  industry in the first three  months of fiscal year
1999 declined by 19.4% to $23.2 million from $28.8 million for the same period a
year earlier due primarily to volume decline  partially offset by an increase in
average selling  prices.  The volume decrease was caused by lower domestic sales
of nickel-base  alloys to resellers and forge shop reprocessors as the aerospace
industry  continues to make inventory  adjustments for the announced  changes in
the commercial aircraft build schedules.

     Sales  to  the  chemical   processing   industry  declined  by  23.9%  from
approximately  $22.2 million to  approximately  $16.9 million due to both volume
and average  selling  price  declines.  The  difference in volume can largely be
attributed  to  a  decline  in  project  related  business  and  somewhat  lower
maintenance  activity.  The  decline in the  average  selling  price  stems from
adjustments   to  pricing  for  falling  raw  material   prices  and  heightened
competition.

     Sales to the  land-based  gas turbine  industry  decreased  by 25.0% in the
first three months of fiscal year 1999 to $3.3 million from $4.4 million for the
comparable period in fiscal year 1998 due to declines in both volume and average
selling  prices.  The  decrease  in volume was  mainly  due to reduced  domestic
shipments of proprietary and specialty alloys that were not completely offset by
increased export sales. Average selling prices declined primarily as a result of
a change in product mix from higher to lower priced alloys and forms.

     Sales to the flue gas desulfurization  industry declined from approximately
$2.1 million to approximately $0.4 million due to the absence of any significant
project   business  in  the  quarter  just  ended.   This  market  is  generally
characterized  by  large  project   requirements  and  very  modest   continuing
maintenance needs.


<PAGE>
     Sales to the oil and gas  industry  were  insignificant  in  either  of the
comparable  quarters.  This market is  entirely  dependent  upon large  drilling
projects, the timing of which are impossible to predict.

     Sales to other industries  declined by 35.8% to approximately  $3.4 million
from  approximately  $5.3 million due to both volume and average  selling  price
declines.  The drop in volume is the  result of a  nonrecurring  project  in the
waste market during last year's first quarter and substantially reduced sales of
a specialty alloy for wear applications.  The lower average selling price can be
attributed  to  proportionately  lower  sales  of  higher  cost,  higher  priced
cobalt-base alloys relative to lower cost, lower priced nickel-base alloys.

     Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues  decreased to
75.8% for the first  quarter of 1999  compared  to 77.6% in the same period last
year. Lower raw material prices and a greater proportion of higher priced,  high
value added product forms such as sheet and coil contributed to the decrease.

     Selling and Administrative  Expenses.  Selling and administrative  expenses
increased  approximately  $500,000 to  approximately  $4.9  million in the first
quarter of 1999 from  approximately  $4.4 million in the same period a year ago,
primarily as a result of higher domestic and export selling costs.

     Research and  Technical  Expenses.  Research and  technical  expenses  were
relatively  flat in the first  quarter of 1999  compared to the first quarter of
1998.

     Operating Income. As a result of the above factors,  the Company recognized
operating  income for the first quarter of 1999 of  approximately  $6.1 million,
approximately  $1.3 million of which was  contributed  by the Company's  foreign
subsidiaries.  For the first quarter of 1998, operating income was approximately
$9.0  million,  of which  approximately  $1.7  million  was  contributed  by the
Company's foreign subsidiaries.

     Other Cost (Income).  Other cost increased by approximately  $250,000,  due
primarily to first  quarter 1998 gains on the sale of land that did not occur in
the first quarter of 1999.

     Interest  Expense.  Interest expense  decreased  approximately  $300,000 to
approximately $5.1 million for the first quarter of 1999 from approximately $5.4
million for the same period in 1998.  Lower revolving credit balances during the
first quarter of fiscal 1999, combined with lower interest rates,  accounted for
the decrease.

     Income  Taxes.  An income  tax  provision  of  approximately  $619,000  was
recorded for the first quarter of 1999 compared to approximately $2.1 million in
fiscal 1998 due to lower pretax earnings.

     Change  in  Accounting  Principle.  The  cumulative  effect  of a change in
accounting  principle  recorded  in the first  quarter  of 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 quarter of 1999 of approximately $180,000,  compared to net
income of approximately $1.1 million for the first quarter of 1998.

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 $2.1 million in the first three months of fiscal 1999, compared to
capital expenditures of approximately $2.8 million for the first three months of
fiscal 1998. First quarter 1999 capital  spending  included the initial costs of
outfitting the Company's new leased  service center located in Lebanon,  Indiana
and improvements to the Company's flat product  production  areas. The remainder
of planned 1999 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 three months of 1999
was  approximately  $7.5 million,  as compared to net cash provided by operating
activities  of  approximately  $700,000 in the first three  months of 1998.  The
positive  cash flow  from  operations  for 1999 was  primarily  the  result of a
decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $8.0 million. The cash flow was
also  affected  by an increase  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses of
approximately $4.6 million,  non-cash  depreciation and amortization  expense of
approximately  $2.1 million,  an increase in inventories of  approximately  $7.0
million, and other net adjustments of approximately $200,000.

     Net cash used in  investing  activities  decreased  to  approximately  $2.1
million in the first three months of 1999 from approximately $2.6 million in the
same period for 1998,  primarily as a result of decreased capital spending.  Net
cash  used in  financing  activities  for the  first  three  months  of 1999 was
approximately  $3.7  million,   compared  to  net  cash  provided  by  financing
activities  of  approximately  $2.0  million for the first three months of 1998,
primarily as a result of decreased net borrowings by the Company.

     Cash for the  first  three  months  of 1999  increased  approximately  $1.6
million  resulting in a cash balance of  approximately  $5.3 million at December
31,  1998.  Cash in the  first  three  months  of 1998  increased  approximately
$200,000,  resulting in a cash balance of approximately $3.4 million at December
31, 1997.

     Total debt at December 31, 1998, was approximately  $172.0 million compared
to  approximately  $186.3  million at December  31, 1997,  reflecting  decreased
borrowing under the Facility.

     At  December  31,  1998,  approximately  $31.6  million  had been  borrowed
pursuant to the Facility compared to approximately $45.5 million at December 31,
1997. In addition, as of December 31, 1998, approximately $3.4 million in letter
of credit  reimbursement  obligations  had been  incurred  by the  Company.  The
Company had  available  additional  borrowing  capacity of  approximately  $10.6
million on the Facility at December 31, 1998.

Accounting Pronouncements

     SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments of an  Enterprise  and Related
Information" and SFAS No. 132,  "Employers'  Disclosures about Pension and Other
Postretirement  Benefits", are effective for the year ending September 30, 1999.
In the  opinion  of  management,  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 has recognized that the Year 2000 will affect certain  business
systems  currently  being used and has taken steps to (1) protect the ability of
the Company to do business,  (2) minimize the risk to the Company from Year 2000
exposure and (3) enhance or expand capabilities as exposures are eliminated. The
areas  of  exposure   include  the  Company's   computer   systems  and  certain
non-Information Technology ("IT") equipment. The Company's products are not date
sensitive.


<PAGE>


     Areas considered  "critical" to fix are the current  mainframe  computer in
Kokomo, Indiana, the Argon-Oxygen Decarburization ("AOD") software and the least
cost melt  software in the melt area,  the  four-high  Steckel mill computer and
automatic  gauge  controls  in  the  hot  rolling  production  area,  the  power
consumption  system,  the computer in the  Electro-slag  remelt area,  the gauge
controls for one cold rolling  mill,  the  engineering  test lab  computer,  the
telephone system, and the payroll system.

     Areas which present a "slight to negligible"  exposure if not fixed include
various non-IT program logic  controllers,  lab  collection  computers,  various
gauges, various test equipment, electronic scales, desktop software, voice mail,
faxes, copiers, and printers.

     The Company has already devoted  significant  amounts of time to ensure all
exposures  are  eliminated  by December  1999,  or sooner.  In fiscal 1995,  the
Company began its upgrade of the current IBM mainframe and an IBM System/36 used
for the Company's  primary business system and received  approval from the Board
of Directors in early fiscal 1996 for a $4.4 million new integrated  information
system to replace the  mainframe (of which  approximately  $2.2 million had been
spent  through  December  31,  1998,  including  $750,000  of  business  process
reengineering  costs).  This project  includes new IBM AS/400  equipment  and an
enterprise  level  software  package  called  BPCS(TM),  by System  Software and
Associates,  which is Year 2000  compliant and is slated for  completion in June
1999. The costs for upgrading the  stand-alone  manufacturing  and lab equipment
controls  have been  budgeted for fiscal 1999 as part of the spending or capital
expenditure  budgets.  The payroll system became Year 2000 compliant in October,
1998.

     Surveys have been completed for the Company's customers and the Company has
sent  surveys to its critical  suppliers  (generally  $100,000 in purchases  and
above) to assess their Year 2000  readiness.  Currently  there is no  indication
that our suppliers will not be Year 2000 ready.

     The total  estimated costs as of December 31, 1998 for Year 2000 compliance
(other than the $4.4 million integrated  information system mentioned above) are
currently  estimated  at  approximately  $600,000  for  some  critical  and  all
non-critical  exposures  and $1.2  million for capital  expenditures  related to
critical  exposures.  The Company intends to use its cash availability under its
revolving credit facility to finance these expenditures.

     The Company's  contingency plan if the Company is not ready by Year 2000 is
to have an  immediate  upgrade of the  current  IBM  mainframe  for its  primary
business  system  and to have an  immediate  hardware  upgrade  for  stand-alone
computer systems, data collection systems,  test equipment,  and process control
devices used throughout the Company, the cost of which is not known.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     At December  31,  1998,  the  Company's  primary  market risk  exposure was
foreign currency  exchange rate risk with respect to forward  contracts  entered
into by the Company's foreign  subsidiaries  located in England and France.  The
Company did not have any outstanding commodity contracts at December 31, 1998.

     The foreign currency exchange risk exists primarily because the two foreign
subsidiaries need U.S. dollars in order to pay for their intercompany  purchases
of high  performance  alloys  from the  Company's  U.S.  locations.  The foreign
subsidiaries  manage their own foreign  currency  exchange risk. Any U.S. dollar
exposure  aggregating  more than $500,000  requires  approval from the Company's
Vice President of Finance.  Most of the currency  contracts to buy U.S.  dollars
are with maturity dates of less than six months.

     At  December  31,  1998,  the  unrealized  loss on these  foreign  currency
exchange contracts was $55,000.
