 Note 3 - Earnings Per Share
 
 The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Talley Industries,
 Inc. ("Talley"); accordingly, earnings per share information is

 Note 4 - Income Taxes
 
 In September 1994, the Arizona Court of Appeals reversed a 1992
 Arizona Tax Court ruling that entitled Talley to file a combined
 tax  return in the State of Arizona

 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1983, and in April 1995, the
 Supreme Court of the State of Arizona denied Talley's Petition
 for Review.  Based on the appellate court decision, Talley will
 be liable for approximately $1.3 million in taxes and interest
 for 1983.  The Company  believes the appellate court erred in its
 decision and Talley intends to vigorously litigate tax and
 interest assessments for 1984 and 1985, of $5.3 million. 
 Legislation adopted in 1994 in Arizona specifically allows
 companies to file combined tax returns in Arizona for periods
 from January 1, 1986, and on December 8, 1994 the Arizona
 Department of Revenue withdrew its assessments against Talley for
 1986 and subsequent years.  Management believes that the final
 resolution of the above matter will not result in a material
 adverse impact on the results of operations or financial position
 of the Company.
 
 
 Note 5 - Acquisition
 
 In July 1994, a subsidiary of the Company acquired certain assets
 of a manufacturer of metal buttons.  The final purchase price was
 approximately $4.8 million, including cash of $2.1 million,
 323,232 shares of Talley Common stock scheduled for issuance two
 years after closing, and certain liabilities assumed and
 acquisition costs incurred.
 
 
 Note 6 - Depreciation of Plant and Equipment
 
 During the first quarter of 1995, the Company completed a review
 of the fixed asset lives at its stainless steel production
 facility.  The Company determined that as a result of actions
 taken to increase its preventive maintenance and programs
 initiated with its suppliers to increase the quality of their
 products, actual lives for certain asset categories were
 generally longer than the useful lives used for depreciation
 purposes.  Therefore, the Company extended the estimated useful
 lives of certain categories of plant and equipment at its
 stainless steel production facility, effective January 1, 1995. 
 The effect of this change in estimated useful lives reduced
 depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 1995 by
 approximately $812,000 and accordingly increased earnings before
 income taxes and extraordinary gain by the same amount.

 Revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 increased
 $34.7 million from $153.2 million to $187.9 million, compared
 with the corresponding period in the prior year.  The increase is
 primarily the result of continued improvement in the stainless
 steel market, along with increased airbag royalties received
 pursuant to the expanding demand for automotive airbags.  These
 increases were partially offset by decreasing revenue in the
 Government Products and Services segment.  The pretax earnings
 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $15.4 million compared
 with $2.8 million pretax earnings in the first six months of the
 previous year.

<PAGE>                                    

 Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $8.9 
 million, compared to $4.9 million net earnings for the first six
 months in 1994.
 
 Earnings from both the Industrial Products segment and the Airbag
 Royalty segment improved compared with the prior year.  Earnings
 from the Industrial Products segment increased $9.3 million from
 $3.0 million to $12.3 million, while royalties in the Airbag
 Royalty segment increased by $5.8  million from $7.8 million in
 the first six months of 1994 to $13.6 million for the first six
 months of 1995.  Earnings from the Government Products and
 Services segment for the first six months of 1995, when compared
 with the first six months of 1994, were $2.7 million lower, while
 earnings from the Company's Specialty Products segment improved
 $.1 million.
 
   Government Products and Services.  Revenue and earnings in the
 first six months of 1995 decreased $3.1 million and $2.7 
 million, respectively, when compared with the same period in the
 prior year. These decreases are primarily due to a scheduled
 pricing reduction under the extended range munitions program, and
 also due to the timing of completion and shipments under other
 contracts.  This segment continues to be impacted by the
 reduction of U.S. Defense spending.
 
   Airbag Royalties.  Revenue from airbag royalties increased from
 $7.8 million in the first six months of 1994 to $13.6 million in
 the first six months of 1995.  The increased royalty is primarily
 the result of increasing airbag implementation rates, both in
 terms of the number of vehicles containing airbags and the number
 of airbags installed in a given vehicle.  (Also see "Other
 Matters" as a separate caption within Management's Discussion and
 Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations).
 
  Industrial Products.  In the first six months of 1995 Industrial
 Products sales and earnings increased $29.9 million and $9.3 
 million, respectively, when compared with the first six months of
 1994.  Increases in sales resulted from increased orders and
 higher selling prices for stainless steel bars and rods and
 increased demand for ceramic insulator products, along with an
 increase in market share.  These increases partially were offset
 by lower welder products sales and earnings.  
 
   Specialty Products.  During the first six months of 1995, sales
 for the Specialty Products segment increased 16%, from $13.6 
 million to $15.8 million, while earnings increased from $1.6 
 million to $1.7 million, when compared with the same period in
 1994.  The increase in sales and earnings when compared with the
 prior year is primarily a result of the acquisition of a
 manufacturer of metal buttons in July 1994.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                    -8-
                                    
<PAGE>                                    
 Other.  Interest expense in the first six months of 1995
 increased slightly to $8.9 million, from $8.6 million in the
 comparable period in 1994.  Corporate overhead for 1995 and 1994
 is above historical levels due to high litigation costs incurred
 in connection with the airbag Asset Purchase Agreement and
 License Agreement.  The overhead expenses decreased slightly in
 1995 from $8.5 million to $8.1 million when compared with the
 comparable period in 1994.  The income tax provision for the
 first six months of 1995 was $6.5  million compared to a tax
 benefit of $2.1 million in the comparable period in 1994.  The
 tax benefit in 1994 is the result of favorable state tax
 legislation which resulted in a $5.6 million reversal of state
 income taxes previously accrued.
 
 
 Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 At June 30, 1995, the Company had $2.5 million in cash and cash
 equivalents and net working capital of $86.2 million.  Cash
 generated from operating activities for the six months ended June
 30, 1995 was $1.4 million, primarily the result of increased
 earnings which were partially offset by increases in trade
 receivables, inventories and prepaid expenses.  Cash generated
 from operations during the first six months of 1994 was $5.1 
 million.  Cash used in investing activities during the six months
 ended June 30, 1995 was $3.2 million, consisting primarily of
 capital expenditures.  Cash generated from financing activities
 of $1.5 million reflects a net increase in the revolving credit
 facility offset by a dividend to the Company's parent.
 
 In October 1993, the Company and its parent Talley completed a
 major refinancing program.  This refinancing program included an
 offering of $185 million of debt securities, consisting of $70
 million gross proceeds of Senior Discount Debentures due 2005,
 issued by Talley to yield 12.25% and $115 million of Senior Notes
 due 2003, with an interest rate of 10.75% issued by the Company. 
 In connection with this refinancing, the Company obtained a
 secured credit facility with institutional lenders.  
 
 Borrowings under the secured credit facility may not exceed the
 collateral base as defined in the governing credit agreement. 
 The facility consists of a five-year revolving credit facility of
 up to $40 million and a five-year $20 million term loan facility. 
 At June 30, 1995 availability under the total facility was
 approximately $51.3 million, of which approximately $32.0 million
 was borrowed.  Upon the occurrence of certain specified events,
 at any time following the third anniversary of the secured credit
 facility, the agent thereunder may elect to terminate the
 facility. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                    -9-
                                    
<PAGE>                                    

 The Company anticipates that the present capital structure will
 support the long-term growth of its core businesses and permit
 the implementation of its strategy to use the portion of airbag
 royalties retained by the Company (after certain permitted
 distributions to Talley) and other available cash flow to reduce
 its total indebtedness.
 
 The Company is permitted (and intends) to distribute cash to its
 parent, Talley, for specified purposes and under certain other
 circumstances.  These distributions will be made using funds
 available from operations and the secured credit facility.  The
 payments include (but are not limited to) certain airbag
 royalties in excess of $10 million in any year (or in excess of
 such greater amount as would be required for the Company to meet
 a specified fixed charge coverage ratio) which will be used to
 redeem the Senior Discount Debentures issued by Talley and an
 annual distribution of up to $1.3 million for a period of five
 years to fund certain  carrying and other costs associated with
 Talley's real estate operations.  In addition, the Company is a
 party to a cost sharing agreement and a tax sharing agreement
 which will require the Company to reimburse Talley for certain
 ongoing general and administrative expenses and to make certain
 tax payments to Talley.
 
 The Company believes that the combination of cash flow from
 operations, funds available under the credit facility described
 above (or any successor facility) and increasing revenue from
 airbag royalties (to the extent retained by the Company as
 described above) will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its
 working capital, debt service and other capital requirements and
 to meet its other ongoing business needs over the next five
 years.
 
 Other Matters
 
 Litigation
 
 On  June 27, 1995, the federal district court for the District of
 Arizona entered judgment against TRW Inc. in favor of the Company
 in TRW Inc. vs. Talley Industries, Inc. et al.  The court
 dismissed, in their entirety, TRW's claims against the Company
 while the jury reached a verdict in favor of the Company on its
 counterclaims against TRW, awarding the Company a total of $138
 million.  The award (which is in addition to (i) royalty payments
 of $24.4 million paid prior to the judgment and during the
 pendency of this action pursuant to an earlier preliminary
 injunction order, and (ii) attorneys' fees and recoverable costs
 relating to this litigation which the Company will seek to
 recover  under  the  governing  1989  agreements) represents  the 
 jury's determination of the present value of the royalties that
 would otherwise have been paid to the Company by TRW for the
 period April 1, 1995 through April 2001.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                   -10-
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

 The litigation in which this judgment was entered arose out of
 the Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 4, 1989 and the
 License Agreement dated April 21, 1989, between TRW and the
 Company pursuant to which TRW acquired the Company's airbag
 business.  The court dismissed TRW's claims that the Company had
 breached a non-compete provision contained in the Asset Purchase
 Agreement, by rendering services to competitors of TRW, and that
 TRW thereby became entitled to terminate airbag royalty payments
 to the Company (which it purported to do in February 1994) and
 obtain a paid-up license to use the Company's airbag technology. 
 The jury found in fact that TRW had improperly terminated and
 repudiated the 1989 license agreement.
 
 TRW has filed its notice to appeal the judgment to the Ninth
 Circuit Court of Appeals, and on July 26, 1995 the federal
 district court for the District of Arizona granted a stay of
 enforcement of the judgment pending appeal upon the posting of a
 $175 million bond and the continuation of quarterly payments in
 the amount of royalties that would be due under the License
 Agreement.  Upon affirmation of the judgment on appeal, TRW would
 be required to pay the judgment plus interest (which the court
 ruled will accrue from June 27, 1995 at the rate specified by the
 1989 license agreement - prime rate plus five percent), offset by
 the continued royalty payments ordered by the court.  TRW has
 sought and the Ninth Circuit Court has denied emergency review of
 the court's order requiring the continued payment of the
 quarterly payments pending appeal.  The denial of emergency
 relief by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is without prejudice
 to an appeal by TRW from the district court's order.  
 
 Certain other claims asserted by TRW and the Company against each
 other are the subject of a separate action which remains pending. 
 In that action, TRW has challenged certain representations by the
 Company that the airbag manufacturing plant sold to TRW by the
 Company in 1989 met applicable government requirements, and that
 the associated real estate was sufficient to permit construction
 of certain additional facilities.  The Company's claims against
 TRW include claims that TRW intentionally interfered with certain
 of its business relationships, failed to exert reasonable efforts
 to exploit the exclusive technology license granted to TRW by the
 Company in 1989 and denied the Company certain contractually
 provided audit rights.  It is currently anticipated that these
 remaining claims will come to trial in January 1996.  Management
 anticipates that the above-described claims will be resolved
 without any material adverse impact on the results of operations 
 or financial position of the Company.
 
 As previously reported, a subsidiary of the Company is conducting
 an investigation of alleged groundwater contamination at a
 facility in Athens, Georgia, in cooperation with the current
 owner of the site.  The site was owned by the subsidiary until
 March 1988.  No lawsuit has been filed in this matter, but the
 Georgia Environmental Protection Division listed the site on its
 Hazardous Site Inventory in March 1995.  Based on remediation
 estimates received, management believes that any reasonably
 anticipated losses from the alleged contamination will not result
 in a material adverse impact on the results of operations or the
 financial position of the Company.

 In September 1994, the Arizona Court of Appeals reversed a 1992
 Arizona Tax Court ruling that entitled Talley to file a combined
 tax return in the State of Arizona for the fiscal year ended
 March 31, 1983, and in April 1995, the Supreme Court of the State
 of Arizona denied Talley's Petition for Review.  Based on the
 appellate court decision, the Company will be liable for
 approximately $1.3 million in taxes and interest for 1983.  The
 Company believes the appellate court erred in its decision and
 Talley intends to vigorously litigate tax and interest
 assessments for 1984 and 1985, of $5.3 million.  Legislation
 adopted in 1994 in Arizona specifically allows companies to file
 combined tax returns in Arizona for periods from January 1, 1986,
 and on December 8, 1994 the Arizona Department of Revenue
 withdrew its assessments against Talley for 1986 and subsequent
 years.  Management believes that the final resolution of the
 above matter will not result in a material adverse impact on the
 results of operations or financial position of the Company.
