   Note to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

   The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in
   accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
   financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
   10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly they do not include all of the
   information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
   principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
   management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
   considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 
   Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1995 are not
   necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
   ending December 31, 1995.  For further information, refer to the
   consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
   Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

   Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations.

   Consolidated net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 1995, showed
   an increase of 28% over the same period last year as a result of the
   combined impact of a 13% increase in unit volume, higher selling prices,
   the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar on the translated value of
   foreign currency denominated sales, and higher sales of retread equipment. 
   (The term "unit volume" when used in the context of these comments refers
   only to shipments of the Company's major manufactured product, precured
   tread rubber used in the retreading of tires.)  Net sales and unit volume
   were strong in all the Company's major market areas except Mexico where
   they declined because of difficult economic conditions.  The Company
   believes that a small percentage of the increased unit volume in the
   quarter was due to dealer hedge-buying in response to the continuing
   increase in raw material prices worldwide driven by strong demand and a
   tight supply.  Present indications are that this situation is expected to
   moderate in the second half of the year.

   Consolidated gross margin for the first quarter ended March 31, 1995,
   decreased 0.5 percentage points compared to the same period last year. 
   The lower gross margin was due primarily to higher raw material costs not
   fully offset by selling price increases.

   Consolidated operating expenses for the first quarter increased 16% over
   the same period last year, but were two percentage points lower as a
   percentage of sales due to the strong sales volume in the quarter.  The
   majority of the increase was a result of higher spending on
   marketing-related programs, with the higher translated value of foreign-
   currency-denominated expenses a contributing factor.

   Consolidated net earnings and net earnings per share for the first quarter
   ended March 31, 1995, increased 27% and 32%, respectively, over the same
   period last year.  The higher increase in net earnings per share over last
   year, in comparison to the increase in net earnings, was due to fewer
   average shares outstanding in 1995.

   Domestic Operations:

   During the first quarter, sales and unit volume for the Company's domestic
   operations, which include export shipments to various Latin and South
   American areas, were 29% and 11% higher, respectively, in comparison to
   last year.  The increase in sales was greater than the increase in unit
   volume due to very strong equipment sales, which accounted for six
   percentage points of the increase, combined with higher retread material
   selling prices.

   Gross margin for the first quarter was 2.7 percentage points lower than
   the same period last year due to raw material costs which were
   approximately 9% higher than the fourth quarter 1994 levels.  The Company
   announced price increases on January 15 in response to the higher raw
   material costs, but the Company's practice is to grant its dealers a price
   window to give them time to implement higher prices to their customers. 
   As would be expected, this delay had a negative impact on gross margin. 
   Raw material costs have since increased further, but the Company has
   deferred any additional selling price increases until such time as it is
   able to confirm the accuracy of industry forecasts calling for raw
   material costs to decline during the second half of the year because of
   softer demand and improved supply conditions.

   First quarter operating expenses increased 22% over the same period last
   year, but were 1.1 percentage points lower than last year as a percentage
   of sales due to the higher sales volume.  The increase in operating
   expenses was primarily for marketing-related programs.

   First quarter earnings before income taxes increased 10% over the same
   period last year.

   Western European Operations:

   First quarter results for the Company's Western European operations were
   once again strong, following a strong fourth quarter 1994, with sales and
   unit volume increasing 24% and 18%, respectively, over the same period
   last year.  The increase in sales was greater than the increase in unit
   volume due mostly to favorable translation rates, with some offset from
   lower equipment sales.

   Gross margin for the first quarter in Western Europe was 1.7 percentage
   points higher than last year's depressed gross margin because of the
   increased unit volume.  Though raw material costs somewhat lag the U.S.,
   they have followed the U.S. trend and selling prices have been increased
   accordingly.

   Operating expenses for the first quarter increased 26% over the same
   period last year, but were approximately even with last year when viewed
   as a percentage of sales.  Expenses increased only 9% in local currencies,
   which was in line with the sales increase.  First quarter operating
   expenses included unfavorable foreign exchange adjustments which were
   higher than those recorded last year.  Foreign exchange losses in both
   years resulted from fluctuations in exchange rates in the various
   currencies in which the Company's Western European operation conducts
   business.

   Earnings before income taxes for the first quarter increased 56% over the
   relatively weak first quarter results last year.

   Other Foreign Operations:

   Sales and unit volume for the other combined geographic areas increased
   29% and 16%, respectively.  Except for Mexico, results were strong for all
   of the Company's other foreign operations.  The Company's sales and unit
   volume in Mexico was 48% and 31% lower, respectively, than last year due
   to the country's weak economic conditions.  Results for Brazil were very
   strong in the quarter with sales and unit volume increases of 67% and 29%,
   respectively.  Brazil's large increase in sales in comparison to unit
   volume was due to its ability to increase selling prices on a regular
   basis this year to catch up with, and keep ahead of, local inflation.  The
   effect of foreign translation rates was nil in comparison to last year's
   first quarter.

   Gross margin for the first quarter was 4.9 percentage points higher than
   the same period last year for the Company's other foreign operations.  The
   margin increase was primarily due to the margin recovery recorded by the
   Company's Canadian operation.  Last year's Canadian margin was depressed
   due to its manufacturing operation being shut down for a period of time to
   repair a major piece of equipment

   First quarter operating expenses for the Company's other foreign
   operations were 1.5% higher than the same period last year, but 3.7
   percentage points lower than last year as a percentage of sales.  Brazil's
   operating expenses increased due to inflationary factors, but this was
   basically offset by lower spending in the other operations.

   Earnings before income taxes for the quarter increased 168% compared to
   the same period last year due to the stronger results recorded by Brazil
   and Canada.

   Financial Condition:

   Operating Activities.
   Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter ended
   March 31, 1995 was $1.8 million higher than the same period last year,
   with a $2.5 million increase in net cash resulting from the net change in
   operating assets and liabilities partially offsetting a $4.1 million
   increase in net earnings.

   Investing Activities. 
   The Company spent $6.4 million on capital expenditures during the first
   quarter ended March 31, 1995, which was $1.6 million lower than the amount
   spent during the same period last year.  It is expected that capital
   expenditures will be proportionately higher in the second half of the
   year.  Funding for the Company's capital expenditures comes from
   operational cash flows.

   The Company's excess funds are invested over various terms, but only
   instruments with an original maturity date of over 90 days are classified
   as investments for balance sheet purposes.  This amount totaled
   $37.8 million at March 31, 1995, compared to $36.9 million at March 31,
   1994.

   Financing Activities.
   Cash dividends totaled $5.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
   compared to $4.7 million for the previous year.  During the first quarter
   the Company purchased 121,000 shares of its outstanding Class A Common
   Stock at prevailing market prices for $6.4 million.  Both cash dividends
   and stock purchases were funded from the Company's operational cash flows. 
   The short-term borrowing activity during the quarter was by the Company's
   Western European operation to fund its current cash flow needs.

   The Company has $132 million in funds available under unused lines of
   credit and foreign credit and overdraft facilities.
