1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements presented herein and these notes are unaudited. Certain
information  and  footnote   disclosures  normally  included  in  the  financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been  condensed  or omitted  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Although the registrant  believes that all
adjustments  (which include only normal recurring  adjustments)  necessary for a
fair presentation have been made, interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the  results  of  operations  for a  full  year.  As  such,  these  financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included by reference in the  registrant's  Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

The  condensed   consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of
Johnstown  America  Industries,  Inc.  and its wholly  owned  subsidiaries  (the
"Company").  All significant  intercompany  transactions  and accounts have been
eliminated.

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                    For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1998
                                  (Unaudited)


SENIOR BANK FACILITIES

The Company  entered into a credit facility  (Senior Bank  Facilities) on August
23, 1995, in conjunction with the acquisition of Truck Components Inc. (TCI) and
the related  transactions.  The revolving credit line portion of the Senior Bank
Facilities provides for up to $75 million of outstanding  borrowings and letters
of credit, limited by the level of eligible accounts receivable and inventories.
As of June 30,  1998,  availability  under  the  revolving  credit  line,  after
consideration  of  outstanding  letters  of credit of $16.8  million,  was $58.2
million.

At the Company's  election,  interest  rates per annum for the revolving  credit
line are  fluctuating  rates of interest  measured by reference to either (a) an
adjusted London  inter-bank  offered rate (LIBOR) plus a borrowing margin or (b)
an alternate base rate (ABR) plus a borrowing  margin.  Such  borrowing  margins
range  between  1.50% and 2.50% for LIBOR loans and between  0.50% and 1.50% for
ABR  loans,  fluctuating  within  each  range in 0.25%  increments  based on the
Company achieving certain financial results. Interest rates per annum applicable
to the  Tranche B term loan are either (a) LIBOR plus margin of 3.00% or (b) ABR
plus 2.00%. Additionally, various fees related to unused commitments, letters of
credit and  administration  of the facility  are incurred by the Company.  As of
June 30, 1998, the weighted average interest rate of all outstanding loans under
the  Senior  Bank  Facilities  was  8.94%.  Borrowings  under  the  Senior  Bank
Facilities are guaranteed by each of the Company's  subsidiaries other than JAIX
Leasing (the Guarantor  Subsidiaries) and are secured by the assets and stock of
the Company and its Guarantor  Subsidiaries.  The Tranche A term loan was repaid
in full in the third  quarter of 1997 in  conjunction  with the issuance of debt
described in Note 4. The revolving credit line matures on March 31, 2002 and the
Tranche B term loan matures on March 31, 2003.

On April 1, 1998, the Company  received $16.8 million from the settlement of its
patent  infringement  lawsuit.  The  after-tax  proceeds of $10.0 million and an
additional   $5.0  million  from  operating   activities  were  used  to  prepay
obligations  on the  Tranche  B term loan in the  second  quarter  of 1998.  The
prepayment  on this loan  resulted in a $1.0 million  ($0.6  million  after tax)
extraordinary  charge representing the noncash write off of unamortized deferred
financing costs related to this retired debt.

The Senior Bank Facilities contain various financial covenants including capital
expenditure  limitations,  minimum leverage and interest  coverage  ratios,  and
minimum  net  worth,  and also  restrict  the  Company  from  paying  dividends,
repurchasing   common   stock  and  making   other   distributions   in  certain
circumstances.

                                  (Unaudited)


JAIX LEASING DEBT

On June 14,  1997,  JAIX Leasing  entered into a ten-year  term loan which bears
interest  at an  average  interest  rate  of  9.35%.  At  June  30,  1998,  debt
outstanding under the facility was $9.4 million.  The facility is secured by the
underlying leases and assets and contains various covenants.

INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS

The Company,  through its wholly owned subsidiary,  Freight Car Services,  Inc.,
issued the  Industrial  Revenue  Bonds for $5.3 million which bear interest at a
variable  rate (3.70% as of June 30, 1998) and can be redeemed by the Company at
any time.  The  bonds are  secured  by a letter  of credit  issued by  Johnstown
America  Industries,  Inc. The bonds have no amortization and mature on December
1, 2010.  The bonds are also subject to a weekly "put"  provision by the holders
of the bonds.  In the event that any or all of the bonds are put to the  Company
under this provision,  the Company would  effectively  refinance such bonds with
additional  borrowings  under the  Revolving  Loans  portion of the Senior  Bank
Facilities.

INTEREST RATE CONTRACTS

The Company has entered into various interest rate contracts to fix a portion of
the cost of its variable rate Senior Bank Facilities.  These contracts limit the
effect of market  fluctuations  on the interest cost of floating rate debt.  The
notional  principal amounts  outstanding on the interest rate contracts covering
the current  period is $75  million at a 5.98%  fixed rate of interest  plus the
applicable borrowing margin. The contracts mature in August 1998.

4.  SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

In conjunction  with the  acquisition of TCI, the Company issued $100 million of
Senior  Subordinated  Notes which are due August 15, 2005. In 1997,  the Company
issued $80 million of additional  notes due August 15, 2005  (collectively,  the
Notes) with substantially  identical terms to the already outstanding notes at a
$3.6  million  premium,  for an  effective  rate of 10.8%.  These  Notes have an
interest rate of 11.75% per annum and are  guaranteed  on an  unsecured,  senior
subordinated  joint and  several  basis by each of the  Guarantor  Subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the  settlement of separate  interest rate  contracts in effect when
each portion of the Notes was issued,  the Company  realized a $0.8 million loss
and a $2.6 million gain upon the 1997 and 1995 issuances, respectively. The gain
and the loss are being amortized as an offset to interest  expense over the term
of  the  Notes.  The  Notes  have  customary   restrictive  covenants  including
restrictions on incurrence of additional indebtedness,  payment of dividends and
redemption of capital  stock.  The Notes are  subordinated  to all  indebtedness
under the Senior Bank Facilities and cross-default  provisions do exist.  Except
in  certain  limited  circumstances,  the  Notes  are not  subject  to  optional
redemption by the Company prior to August 15, 2000,  and  thereafter are subject
to optional redemption by the Company at declining redemption premiums. Upon the
occurrence of a change in control (as defined), the Company is required to offer
to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof
plus accrued interest.

The Company's future  operating  performance and ability to service or refinance
the Notes and to extend or refinance the Senior Bank  Facilities will be subject
to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many
of which are beyond the Company's control.

5.  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company's subsidiaries are currently involved in several matters relating to
the  investigation  and/or  remediation of locations where the subsidiaries have
arranged for the disposal of foundry and other wastes. Such matters include five
situations  in  which  the  Company,  through  its TCI  subsidiaries  and  their
predecessors,  have been named or are  believed  to be  potentially  responsible
parties  ("PRP")  in the  contamination  of the  sites.  With  respect to claims
involving  Gunite  Corporation  ("Gunite"),  TCI and  Gunite in  September  1997
entered into a private-party  settlement (the  "Settlement")  of certain pending
litigation  with a prior  owner of  Gunite,  pursuant  to which  each of TCI and
Gunite and the prior owner withdrew their claims against the other.  As a result
of the  Settlement,  TCI and Gunite will not be responsible  for liabilities and
costs related to certain  alleged  contamination  of Gunite's  facilities and at
certain off-site properties to the extent arising

                    For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1998
                                  (Unaudited)


out of  operations  of  Gunite  prior to the  acquisition  of  Gunite  by TCI in
September 1987.  Accordingly,  the Company reduced its environmental reserves by
$14.3 million in the third quarter of 1997. As of June 30, 1998, based on all of
the  information  currently  available  to  the  Company,  the  Company  has  an
environmental  reserve of $11.1 million which management believes is adequate to
cover future  expenditures.  This reserve is based on current cost estimates and
does not reduce  estimated  expenditures  to net  present  value,  although  the
Company's  subsidiaries  are not likely to incur costs for most of the  reserved
matters until several years in the future. Any cash expenditures required by the
Company or its subsidiaries to comply with applicable  environmental laws and/or
to pay for any remediation  efforts will not be reduced or otherwise affected by
the  existence  of  the  environmental  reserve.  Due  to  the  early  stage  of
investigation of many of the sites and potential remediations referred to above,
there are significant  uncertainties as to waste quantities involved, the extent
and timing of the  remediation  which will be required,  the range of acceptable
solutions,  costs of  remediation  and the  number  of  potentially  responsible
parties  contributing to such costs.  Based on all of the information  presently
available,  the Company believes that the environmental reserve will be adequate
to cover its future costs related to the sites associated with the environmental
reserve,  and that any additional  costs will not have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. However, the
discovery of additional sites, the modification of existing laws or regulations,
the imposition of joint and several liability or the  uncertainties  referred to
above could result in such a material adverse effect.


6.  GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES

The Notes and the  obligations  under the Senior Bank  Facilities  are fully and
unconditionally  guaranteed  on an  unsecured,  senior  subordinated,  joint and
several basis by each of the  Guarantor  Subsidiaries.  The following  condensed
consolidating  financial data illustrates the composition of the Parent Company,
the  Guarantor  Subsidiaries,  and JAIX Leasing as of and for certain  dates and
periods.  Separate  complete  financial  statements of the respective  Guarantor
Subsidiaries would not provide  additional  information which would be useful in
assessing the financial composition of the Guarantor  Subsidiaries and thus, are
not presented.

Investments  in  subsidiaries  are  accounted  for by the Parent  Company on the
equity  method for  purposes  of the  supplemental  consolidating  presentation.
Earnings  of  subsidiaries  are  therefore  reflected  in the  Parent  Company's
investment  accounts and earnings.  The principle  elimination entries eliminate
the Parent Company's  investment in subsidiaries  and intercompany  balances and
transactions.

ITEM 2.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                    FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998



GENERAL

The Company's sales are affected to a significant  degree by the freight car and
Class 8 truck  markets.  Both the freight car and the Class 8 truck  markets are
subject  to  significant  fluctuations  due  to  economic  conditions  in  these
particular  markets,  changes in the alternative  methods of transportation  and
other factors.  There can be no assurance that fluctuations in such markets will
not have a material  adverse  effect on the results of  operations  or financial
condition of the Company.

The operating  results of Johnstown  America  Corporation  (JAC) and Freight Car
Services (FCS), the Company's freight car manufacturing subsidiaries, are driven
principally by the number and type of new and rebuilt  freight cars delivered in
any given period.  Due to the large size of customer  orders,  the specific time
frame for  delivery of freight cars  ordered and  variations  in the mix of cars
ordered, the number and type of cars produced in any given quarter may fluctuate
greatly.  As a result, the Company's revenues and results of operations and cash
flows from operations may fluctuate as well.

During the first six months of 1998, net income of $20.2 million  included three
non-recurring items: an extraordinary charge (net of income tax) of $0.6 million
related to early debt retirement,  a patent lawsuit  settlement of $16.8 million
($10.0 million after tax) and a pension  termination  gain of $1.7 million ($1.0
million  after tax).  Net income for the first six months of 1998  excluding the
three non-recurring items was $9.8 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997
TOTAL REVENUE

Total  revenue for the three  months  ended June 30, 1998  increased by 50.6% to
$238.2  million from $158.2  million in the second  quarter of 1997. The revenue
increase of $80.0 million was due primarily to the increase in freight car sales
of $80.4  million  (2,163 new and rebuilt cars sold in 1998 versus 1,043 new and
rebuilt cars sold in 1997).  Iron castings  operations  revenues  increased $1.2
million,  offset by a $1.3 million decrease in revenue from the truck components
operations  which was  primarily due to a three week labor strike in May 1998 at
Gunite Corporation.


                                      21

<PAGE>



COST OF SALES - MANUFACTURING AND GROSS PROFITS

Cost of Sales -  Manufacturing  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1998 as a
percent of  manufacturing  sales was 86.2%,  compared to 86.4% in 1997.  Related
gross profit margins were 13.8% and 13.6%, respectively.  Freight car operations
gross profit margins as a percentage of sales substantially  improved versus the
second  quarter of 1997,  offsetting  the impact of a higher mix of freight  car
business  relative to the truck  component  and iron  casting  operations  which
historically  generate higher gross profit margins as a percentage of sales. The
aggregate  gross profits  increased  $10.6 million and was a result of increased
sales and margins, primarily from the freight car business.

SELLING, GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND AMORTIZATION

Selling,  general, and administrative  expenses as a percentage of total revenue
were  5.4%  and  7.1% for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1998  and  1997,
respectively.  The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expense as a
percent of total revenue was  primarily  caused by the  significant  increase in
total revenue of $80.0  million,  without a similar  increase in costs needed to
achieve such revenues. Amortization expense as a percentage of total revenue was
0.9% and 1.4% for the three months  ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,  respectively,
although actual amortization expense remained consistent period to period.

OPERATING INCOME

Operating  income was $19.6 million in the second  quarter of 1998,  compared to
$9.3  million  in the  second  quarter  of 1997.  Increased  sales  and  margins
accounted for $10.6 million of the increase.  The Company also recognized a $1.7
million gain on the termination of a former pension plan,  versus a $0.3 million
gain in the second quarter of 1997 from the sale of leased  freight cars.  These
increases  to operating  income were offset by an increase in selling,  general,
and administrative expenses of $1.6 million.

OTHER

Interest  expense,  net, was $7.7 million in the second quarter of 1998 compared
to $8.7 in the second  quarter of 1997.  A decrease  of $0.7  million in leasing
business  and term  debt  interest  expense,  as a result of  reduced  levels of
related  debt,  and a $0.3  million  increase in  interest  income in the second
quarter of 1998 resulted in a decrease in net interest expense of $1.0 from 1997
levels.

During  the  second  quarter,  related to early  debt  retirement,  the  Company
recorded  a  $1.0  million  ($0.6  million  after  tax)   extraordinary   charge
representing  the noncash  write-off of  unamortized  deferred  financing  costs
related to this debt.



                                      22

<PAGE>



Net income and diluted earnings per share before the extraordinary  item for the
second quarter of 1998 were $6.7 million and $0.66, respectively,  compared to a
net loss and loss per share of $0.5  million  and $0.05,  respectively,  for the
second quarter of 1997.

Net income and diluted  earnings  per share for the second  quarter of 1998 were
$6.2 million and $0.61,  respectively  compared to a net loss and loss per share
of $0.5 million and $0.05, respectively, for the second quarter of 1997.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997
TOTAL REVENUE

Total  revenue  for the six months  ended June 30,  1998  increased  by 71.3% to
$469.4  million from $274.0 million in the first six months of 1997. The revenue
increase of $195.4  million  was due  primarily  to the  increase in freight car
sales of $183.1  million  (4,250 new and rebuilt  cars sold in 1998 versus 1,575
new and  rebuilt  cars in 1997).  Truck  components  and  assemblies  operations
revenues, which were negatively effected by the Gunite labor strike in May 1998,
increased  $7.2  million and iron casting  operations  revenues  increased  $5.1
million  over the first six months of 1997.  As of June 30,  1998 the  Company's
backlog of new and rebuilt  freight  cars was 5,194 as compared to 1,949 new and
rebuilt freight cars on June 30, 1997.


COST OF SALES - MANUFACTURING AND GROSS PROFITS

Cost of Sales -  Manufacturing  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1998 as a
percent of  manufacturing  sales was 86.7%,  compared to 85.3% in 1997.  Related
gross  profit  percentages  were 13.3% and 14.7%,  respectively.  The decline in
gross profit percent  resulted  primarily from increased  sales from the freight
car business which have  historically  generated lower gross profit margins than
the truck  components and iron castings  operations.  The aggregate gross profit
increased $22.1 million and was a result of increased sales,  primarily from the
freight car business.


SELLING, GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND AMORTIZATION

Selling,  general, and administrative  expenses as a percentage of total revenue
were  5.6% and 8.1% for the six  months  of 1998  and  1997,  respectively.  The
decrease in selling,  general,  and  administrative  expense as a percentage  of
total revenue is primarily due to the significant  increase in total revenues of
$195.4 million.  Amortization  expense as a percentage of total revenue was 0.9%
and 1.6% for the six  months of 1998 and  1997,  respectively,  although  actual
amortization expense remained constant period to period.


                                      23

<PAGE>



OPERATING INCOME

Operating income was $52.8 million in the first six months of 1998,  compared to
$15.7  million  in the first six  months of 1997.  Increased  sales and  margins
accounted for $22.1 million of the increase.  In addition,  during the first six
months of 1998 the  Company  settled  a patent  infringement  lawsuit  for $16.8
million and recognized a gain of $1.7 on the settlement of a former pension plan
at Gunite,  the latter of which was generally  offset by the impact of the three
week strike at Gunite in the second quarter of 1998. The Company also recognized
a $1.2  million  gain in the first six months of 1998 versus a $0.6 million gain
in the first half of 1997 from the sale of leased freight cars.  These increases
to  operating  income  were  offset  by an  increase  in  selling,  general  and
administrative expense of $4.1 million.

OTHER

Interest  expense,  net, was $16.3 million in the first half of 1998 compared to
$17.4  million in the first half of 1997.  A decrease of $0.9 million on leasing
business  and term  debt  interest  expense,  as a result of  reduced  levels of
related  debt and a $0.4 million  increase in interest  income was offset by the
one time  write-off of $0.2 million of non-cash  deferred  financing  costs,  in
connection with reductions in leasing business debt in the first half of 1998.

Net income and diluted earnings per share before the extraordinary  item for the
first six months of 1998 were $20.8 million and $2.06, respectively, compared to
a net loss and loss per basic share of $2.4 million and $0.25, respectively, for
the first six months of 1997.

Net income and diluted  earnings per share for the first six months of 1998 were
$20.2  million  and  $2.00,  respectively,  compared  to a net loss and loss per
diluted share of $2.4 million and $0.25, respectively,  for the first six months
of 1997.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  the  Company  provided  net cash from
operations of $16.8 million compared with providing net cash of $5.9 million for
the first six months of 1997.  The Company  provided  $16.7  million of net cash
from  investing  activities  for the first half of 1998,  which was generated by
proceeds from the sale of leased freight cars of $24.3  million,  offset by $5.4
million used for capital expenditures and $2.3 million for leased business asset
additions.  Cash used for financing  activities  was $36.4 million for the first
six months of 1998 and  represents  senior  debt and leasing  business  debt pay
downs. JAIX Leasing loans were paid down by $19.8 million with the proceeds from
the sale of 380 cars from the  lease  fleet in the first  quarter  of 1998.  The
Company also made $1.8 million in scheduled term debt and capital lease payments
and $15.0 in term loan  prepayments in the second quarter.  The prepayments were
funded by  proceeds  from the patent  lawsuit  settlement  and cash  provided by
operating activities.


                                      24

The Company's freight car sales are characterized by large order sizes, specific
customer delivery  schedules and related vendor receipts and payment  schedules,
all of which can combine to create  significant  fluctuations in working capital
accounts when comparing end of period balances.  Such fluctuations tend to be of
short  duration,  and the  Company  considers  this to be a  normal  part of its
operating cycle which does not  significantly  impact its financial  flexibility
and liquidity.

As of June 30, 1998, there was $76.7 million of term loans outstanding under the
Senior Bank Facilities,  $182.5 million of Notes outstanding,  and no borrowings
under the $75 million  revolving  credit line under the Senior Bank  Facilities.
Availability under the revolving credit line, after consideration of outstanding
letters of credit of $16.8 million, was $58.2 million.

Interest  payments  on the  Notes  and  the  Senior  Bank  Facilities  represent
significant liquidity requirements for the Company. The Notes require semiannual
interest  payments of approximately  $10.6 million.  Borrowings under the Senior
Bank Facilities bear interest at floating rates and requires  interest  payments
on varying  dates  depending  upon the  interest  rate  option  selected  by the
Company.  The term loan under the Senior  Bank  Facilities  does not require any
material periodic principal payments until March, 2000.

In June 1997,  JAIX Leasing Company entered into a term loan facility to finance
its freight car leasing activities. See footnote 3 of the Condensed Consolidated
Financial  Statements  for the six months ended June 30, 1998, for a description
of this loan. As of June 30, 1998, there was $9.4 million outstanding under this
facility.

The Company  and its  subsidiaries  utilize  software  and related  technologies
throughout its  businesses  that will be affected by the date change in the year
2000. In 1997 the Company  initiated a comprehensive  program to ensure that its
various  business  systems  continue to function  properly in the year 2000. The
cost of  becoming  "Year  2000"  compliant  is not  expected  to be  material in
relation to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company believes that the cash flow generated from its operations,  together
with amounts  available under its revolving credit line, should be sufficient to
fund its debt service requirements,  working capital needs,  anticipated capital
expenditures and other operating expenses  (including  expenditures  required by
applicable  environmental laws and regulations).  The Company's future operating
performance  and  ability  to service  or  refinance  the Notes and to extend or
refinance  the  Senior  Bank  Facilities  will be  subject  to  future  economic
conditions  and to  financial,  business  and other  factors,  many of which are
beyond the Company's control.

As of June 30, 1998, the Company's balance sheet included cash of $27.9 million.


ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company's subsidiaries are currently involved in several matters relating to
the investigation

                                      25

<PAGE>



and/or  remediation of locations  where the  subsidiaries  have arranged for the
disposal of foundry and other wastes.  Such matters  include five  situations in
which the Company,  through its TCI  subsidiaries and their  predecessors,  have
been named or are believed to be potentially  responsible parties ("PRP") in the
contamination of the sites. With respect to claims involving Gunite  Corporation
("Gunite"),  TCI and  Gunite in  September  1997  entered  into a  private-party
settlement (the  "Settlement") of certain pending  litigation with a prior owner
of Gunite, pursuant to which each of TCI and Gunite and the prior owner withdrew
their claims against the other. As of result of the  Settlement,  TCI and Gunite
will not be responsible  for  liabilities  and costs related to certain  alleged
contamination of Gunite's  facilities and at certain off-site  properties to the
extent arising out of operations of Gunite prior to the acquisition of Gunite by
TCI in  September  1987.  As of June 30, 1998,  based on all of the  information
currently available to the Company, the Company has an environmental  reserve of
$11.1   million   which   management   believes  is  adequate  to  cover  future
expenditures.  This  reserve is based on  current  cost  estimates  and does not
reduce  estimated  expenditures  to net present  value,  although the  Company's
subsidiaries  are not  likely to incur  costs for most of the  reserved  matters
until several years in the future. Any cash expenditures required by the Company
or its subsidiaries to comply with applicable  environmental  laws and/or to pay
for any  remediation  efforts will not be reduced or  otherwise  affected by the
existence of the environmental  reserve. Due to the early stage of investigation
of many of the sites and  potential  remediations  referred to above,  there are
significant uncertainties as to waste quantities involved, the extent and timing
of the remediation  which will be required,  the range of acceptable  solutions,
costs  of  remediation  and  the  number  of  potentially   responsible  parties
contributing to such costs. Based on all of the information presently available,
the Company  believes that the  environmental  reserve will be adequate to cover
its future costs related to the sites associated with the environmental reserve,
and that any  additional  costs will not have a material  adverse  effect on the
financial  condition  or results of  operations  of the  Company.  However,  the
discovery of additional sites, the modification of existing laws or regulations,
the imposition of joint and several liability or the  uncertainties  referred to
above could result in such a material adverse effect.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

SFAS  No.  131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
Information"   introduces  a  new  model  for  segment  reporting,   called  the
"management  approach."  The  management  approach  is based on the way that the
chief operating  decision maker organizes segments within the company for making
operating  decisions  and  assessing  performance.  Management of the Company is
evaluating  this  new   pronouncement  to  determine  its  impact  upon  current
reporting. Adoption of this new standard is scheduled for late 1998.

SFAS No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income" was issued in July 1997 and was
adopted  by the  Company  effective  January  1,  1998.  This new  pronouncement
establishes  standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components.  During the first six  months of 1998  there  were no  comprehensive
items to report.

SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" was
issued in

                                      26

<PAGE>



June  1998  and  must  be  adopted  by  the  Company  in  year  2000.  This  new
pronouncement  will  require  the Company to record  derivatives  on the balance
sheet as  assets  or  liabilities,  measured  at fair  value and gains or losses
resulting from the changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted
for  depending on the use of the  derivative  and whether it qualifies for hedge
accounting.  The Company is  evaluating  the  standard and does not expect it to
have a material  impact on the  financial  results or  condition  of the Company
because the use of derivatives at the Company is not significant.

SOP 98-5,  "Reporting on Costs of Start-Up  Activities" was issued in April 1998
and is  required  to be  adopted by the  Company  no later  than  1999.  The new
pronouncement  requires that companies expense the costs of start-up  activities
as those costs are incurred.  Previously, such costs could have been capitalized
and amortized and any such unamortized  capitalized  costs must be expensed upon
adoption of the new standard.  Management  does not expect that adoption of this
standard  will have a material  impact on the  Company's  financial  position or
results of operations.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The foregoing  outlook  contains  forward-looking  statements  that are based on
current  expectations  and are  subject to a number of risks and  uncertainties.
Actual results could differ materially from current expectations due to a number
of factors,  including  general  economic  conditions;  competitive  factors and
pricing  pressures;  shifts  in  market  demand,  the  performance  and needs of
industries served by the Company's businesses; and the risks described from time
to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission reports.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

General price inflation has not had a material  impact on the Company's  results
of operations.

                          PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the lawsuit  commenced by Truck Components Inc. and Brillion Iron Works, Inc.
("Brillion") against Beatrice and the Robins Group seeking,  among other things,
indemnification  from prior owners of Brillion for certain  environmental costs,
the  United  States  Court of  Appeals  for the  Seventh  Circuit on May 7, 1998
affirmed the 1996 judgment of the district  court which held that the defendants
did not owe any indemnity obligation to Brillion for the sites at issue and that
Brillion owes Karl F. Gabler $0.2 million pursuant to a 1987 indemnity contract.
In June 1998,  the Court  denied  Brillion's  petition  for  rehearing.  Another
lawsuit by Brillion against Beatrice and its parent,  ConAgra,  Inc., for, among
other  things,  indemnification  and  recovery  of costs at  another  site,  the
Lemberger  Landfill,  was commenced in December 1997 and remains  pending.  Such
case is in the early stages of discovery with oral  agreements set for September
1998 on a motion to dismiss filed by Beatrice and ConAgra.

The Company is involved in various  lawsuits and  warranty  claims in the normal
course of business.  In the opinion of management of the Company, the outcome of
these  lawsuits  and  claims  will not have a  material  adverse  effect  on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

The Company's  Annual  Meeting of  Shareholders  was held on May 7, 1998. At the
