  The Company has a $6 million revolving credit agreement subject to eligible
  working capital as defined, which expires January 1, 1996.  As of June 30,
  1995 the Company had $4.2 million outstanding under this agreement.  In
  addition, the Company has a $1.15 million credit capacity which is used for
  an irrevocable letter of credit which secured the $1 million loan from an
  Irish bank due October 31, 1995.  A commitment fee of 3/8% is incurred on the
  remaining unused balance.  Interest is at the base rate plus 1/4% and is
  payable quarterly.  The average balance outstanding against the remaining
  capacity was $3.7 million and $0.5 million during the nine month period of
  1995 and 1994, respectively.

  The Company also has a term loan agreement.  Interest is at the base rate
  plus 1/2%.  Repayment terms are quarterly installments of $275,000, plus
  interest.

  The Industrial Development bond interest rate is reset weekly, based on
  prevailing tax-exempt money market rates, and is payable quarterly.
  Principal is payable in quarterly installments of $75,000 through May 1,
  1996, becoming $100,000 quarterly thereafter, with the final balance due on
  May 1, 2002.  The bonds are secured by the property and equipment of the
  facility, and backed by an irrevocable bank letter of credit which expires on
  May 1, 1996.

  The revolving credit, term loan and Industrial Development bonds are secured
  by the Company's domestic accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.

  Among other covenants, the Company is required to maintain a minimum tangible
  net worth (as defined) of $19.8 million, increasing by 50% of net income
  subsequent to September 30, 1993, excluding the $1.5 million reversal to
  income of the restructuring reserve that occurred in the second quarter of
  1995.  At June 30, 1995, tangible net worth exceeded the required minimum by
  $2.1 million.

  As part of the acquisition of Selectrons, Ltd., the seller provided financing
  in the form of unsecured installment notes.  These notes bear interest at the
  base rate plus 1/2%, payable and adjustable quarterly.  Principal is payable
  in annual installments of approximately $1 million, commencing July 1, 1993.

  The $1 million note payable revolving to the bank has a variable interest
  rate based on a combination of both LIBOR and DIBOR (Dublin Interbank Rates)
  rates.

(3)      Income Taxes:
         -------------
  The provision for taxes on income, which is based on the anticipated
  effective rate for the year, does not bear the customary relationship to
  pre-tax income due primarily to foreign source income.  Income tax expense
  differs from amounts currently payable due to certain items reported for
  financial statement purposes in periods which differ from those in which they
  are reported for tax purposes, principally accelerated depreciation.


(4)      Deferred Federal Income Taxes:
         ------------------------------
  The Company has deferred to future periods the income taxes relating to
  timing differences between financial statement pre-tax income and taxable
  income.



                                       6
<PAGE>   8
(5)      Depreciation:
         -------------
  For financial reporting purposes, the Company provides for depreciation of
  plant and equipment, principally by the straight-line method, at annual rates
  sufficient to amortize the cost over its estimated useful life.  For tax
  purposes, the Company uses various accelerated methods and, accordingly,
  provides for the related deferred taxes.  The principal rates of depreciation
  for financial reporting purposes are: buildings 2% to 5%, and machinery and
  equipment 5% to 33 1/3%.


(6)      Inventories:
         ------------
  The Company follows the LIFO method of accounting for certain of its Forge
  Group inventories. Since the LIFO inventory determination for fiscal 1995
  will be based upon year-end inventory levels and costs, the Company has
  provided for its anticipated "LIFO Adjustment" based on its estimated
  year-end inventory levels and costs.  Under the Average Cost Method,
  inventories would have been $3,393,000 and $3,378,000 higher than reported at
  June 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994, respectively.


(7)      Postretirement Health Care Benefits:
         ------------------------------------
  The Company and its domestic subsidiaries provide certain health care
  benefits for non-union retired employees which are subject to the provisions
  of SFAS 106.  The Company amended its current plan to freeze the Company's
  contribution to insurance premiums and exclude any active employees who
  retire after December 31, 1993 from eligibility for benefits.  As a result of
  the amendments to the plan, the adoption of SFAS 106 did not have a material
  impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.


(8)      Other Income
         ------------
  Other income is comprised primarily of grant income from Irish government
  agencies, foreign exchange gains and losses, and royalty and fee income.

(9)      Acquisition of Business and Non-Competition Agreement
         -----------------------------------------------------
  On June 17, 1992, the Company acquired certain domestic net assets and the
  foreign subsidiaries of Selectrons, Ltd. ("Selectrons") at an aggregate
  purchase cost of approximately $6 million, including the assumption of $1.7
  million of debt previously owed to the shareholders.  The purchase price was
  provided from existing cash balances, a term loan from a bank, and an
  unsecured term loan from the seller.




                                       7
<PAGE>   9
  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.  The results of operations
  of the acquisition were combined with those of the Company commencing July 1,
  1992.  This acquisition is not material to the consolidated totals and its
  results of operations have been included in the accompanying statements of
  income since the acquisition date.

  The fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed was
  approximately $2.6 million.  The excess of purchase price over the fair value
  of the net assets purchases was $3.4 million, and such excess is being
  amortized over 40 years by the straight-line method.

  The Company has concluded legal action against the seller of Selectrons with
  respect to breach of contract.  The amount of the damage award was not
  material.

(10)     Basis of Presentation:
         ----------------------
  The accompanying financial information for the nine months ended June 30,
  1995 has not been examined by independent public accountants.  In the opinion
  of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
  adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
- -----------------------
We are pleased to report a profit before tax of $200,000 on sales of
$17,721,000 for the third quarter ended June 30, 1995. This compares to a
profit before tax of $127,000 on sales of $14,419,000 a year ago and represents
our fifth consecutive quarterly profit.

Profit before tax for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 was $2,607,000 on
sales of $51,092,000, compared to a loss of $77,000 on sales of $45,831,000
last year. The nine months earnings figures for 1995 include a benefit of
$1,512,000, recorded in the second quarter, from our original reserve of
$6,500,000, established in September of 1993 to cover costs associated with the
restructuring of the Company's Forge Group.

Net income for the third quarter was $90,000 or $.02 per share, compared to
income of $ 17,000 or $.00 per share for the same period last year.  Net income
for the nine months including the reserve reversal was $2,328,000 or $.46 per
share, compared to a loss of $77,000, or $.06 per share in 1994.

Trends so far this fiscal year remain positive in sales and earnings
categories.

For example, our Forge segment sales during the quarter were up 47% to
$6,400,000, compared to the same period last year, and in June they achieved
the highest one month sales total since December of 1982. Forge sales for the
nine month period were up 15% to $16,400,000, and their operating profit before
corporate and interest expense was approximately $500,000, compared to a loss
of $900,000 a year ago.

Our Specialty Products segment achieved a 13% improvement in sales for the
quarter to $ 11,800,000, compared to 1994, and a 9% sales increase to
$35,900,000 for the nine months.

The segment's operating profit before corporate and interest expense increased
to $2,600,000 year-to-date from $2,300,000 a year ago.

The Forge segment has completed an agreement with the Wyman-Gordon Company of
North Grafton, Massachusetts. As a result our forging operations will work with
Wyman-Gordon in both technical and marketing areas to serve the aerospace
industry.

Wyman-Gordon is closing its Worcester, Massachusetts hammer forging operation
and the majority of that location's production has been transferred to other
Wyman-Gordon facilities in Massachusetts and Texas. Wyman-Gordon's customers
will be offered continued production of product not transferred to the other
locations at our Cleveland, Ohio forging operations. This strategic alliance
strengthens our position in the aerospace forging market. We are extremely
pleased to join forces with a company that is considered the technological
leader in the industry. We look forward to a close working relationship with
Wyman-Gordon as their selected successor to supply the future needs of our
mutual customers.

During the quarter we experienced a high demand from our customers for products
with relatively low margins. This created an unfavorable product mix and
contributed substantially to the disparity we experienced in sales versus
earnings performance. Consequently, as we continue to generate additional
business, we remain dedicated to our long-term product development strategy --
a strategy which focuses our technical expertise to serve not only the present
demands of our customers worldwide, but also prepares products and services in
anticipation of their future needs -- a strategy that we are confident is well
designed to enhance our future profitability.

                         PROVISION FOR TAXES ON INCOME
                         -----------------------------
  The provision for taxes on income, which is based on the anticipated
effective rate for the year, does not bear the customary relationship to
pre-tax income, due primarily to foreign source income.
