Simpson Industries, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principals for interim financial reporting.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The
results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1995.


Note 2.  The computation of earnings per share, dividends per share and
average number of common share outstanding for the three months ending
March 31, 1994, have been restated to reflect a 3-for-2 stock
distribution as of July 28, 1994.



ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Net sales increased 29.7%, or $24,536,000, from the first three months
of 1994.  The increased sales for the quarter, compared to the first
period last year, resulted from an increase in North American
production of automobiles and light trucks and from new product
programs put into production during the past 18 months.  North American
auto and light truck production increased 4% year-over-year. 
Additionally, volume increased significantly in the heavy duty
business, primarily with Caterpillar and Consolidated Diesel Corp.  The
Company believes that its sales will continue to increase, at a
moderate rate, on a quarterly year-over-year basis.

Cost of products sold as a percent of sales for the first three months
of 1995, compared to the first period of 1994 remained the same at
88.5%.

Administrative and selling costs as a percent of sales decreased for
the three month period ended March 31, 1995, compared to the first
quarter of 1994 due to higher sales volume and cost control. Interest
expense increased from 1994 as a result of increased long-term debt.

In January 1995, the Company entered into bank term loan agreements for
$20,000,000 and $4,050,000. The Company borrowed the $20,000,000 at an
interest rate of 8.45%, payable quarterly, with repayment of principal
due in twenty quarterly installments commencing in July 2000. 
Additionally, the Company's Mexican subsidiary borrowed $4,050,000 at
an interest rate of 8.82%, payable monthly, with repayment of principal
due in eighty-four equal monthly installments commencing in February
1996.

The Company invests in equipment and facilities to produce components
for automotive, truck and engine programs.  Cash flows from operations
and proceeds from long-term borrowings, discussed above, exceeded these
investments and dividends paid, resulting in a $25,743,000 increase in
cash and cash equivalents. With a quick ratio of 1.9 to 1, and a total
debt to invested capital ratio of 43%, the Company's financial
condition remains strong.
