NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


September 30, 1995

NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 Rule 
10-01 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 nine-month 
period ended September 30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results 
that may be expected for the year ending December 30, 1995. For comparative 
purposes, certain amounts in the 1994 financial statements have been 
reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation.  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 period ended December 31, 
1994.

NOTE 2--INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or 
market.

NOTE 3--LEGAL MATTERS
The Company is from time to time subject to various claims, other possible 
legal actions for product liability and other damages, and other matters 
arising out of the normal conduct of the Company's business.  Management 
believes that based on present information, it is unlikely that liability, if 
any, exists that would have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated 
operating results or financial position of the Company.

NOTE 4--NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Income per share is computed using the weighted average shares of Common Stock 
and dilutive Common Stock equivalents (options) outstanding during the 
respective periods.

NOTE 5--SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
On April 28, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a three-for-
two split of the Company's common stock.  This was paid in the form of a stock 
dividend on June 12, 1995 to shareholders of record May 22, 1995.  
Accordingly, all share and per share information throughout the consolidated 
financial statements has been restated to reflect this split.  The par value 
for the additional shares issued was transferred from capital in excess of par 
to common stock.

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


The following is management's discussion of certain significant factors which 
affected the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 1995.

Consolidated sales were $37,858,000 for the quarter and $113,815,000 year-to-
date reflecting 27 and 30 percent increases, respectively, over the same 
periods one year ago.  Consolidated net income increased 114 percent to 
$3,915,000 for the quarter, or $.53 per share, and increased 123 percent to 
$11,290,000 year-to-date, or $1.54 per share, over the same periods one year 
ago.

Chemical Segment sales were $11,005,000 for the quarter and $38,629,000 year-
to-date reflecting 15 and two percent declines, respectively, compared to the 
same periods one year ago. Operating income declined 29 percent to $1,084,000 
for the quarter and increased slightly by one percent to $4,905,000 year-to-
date, compared to the same periods one year ago. About one-half of the 
expected decline in sales and operating income for the quarter resulted  from 
the timing of production of certain non-dye specialty chemicals.  Last year's 
third quarter reflected the highest production level of these products in 
1994, while this quarter represented the lowest level scheduled for 1995.  For 
the nine months, higher profits from specialty chemicals offset lower profits 
from textile dyestuffs.  Demand for textile dyestuffs, which represent the 
bulk of the chemical business, continued to decline during the quarter 
resulting primarily from weak apparel demand. The decline is consistent with 
the trends experienced in the first two quarters and in 1994.  Sales and 
profits for the quarter from these products were down approximately 15 and 19 
percent, respectively, Specialty chemicals should show good improvement in the 
fourth quarter compared to the third quarter and last year's fourth quarter.  
However, demand for dyes has recently been at its weakest level which makes 
the overall outlook uncertain. 

Metals Segment sales were $26,853,000 for the quarter and $75,186,000 year-to-
date reflecting 58 and 57 percent increases, respectively, over the same 
periods one year ago. Operating income increased 248 percent to $6,022,000 for 
the quarter and 269 percent to $15,446,000 year-to-date, over the same periods 
one year ago.  Third quarter operating income soared to a new record while 
sales were about the same as the record set in the second quarter of this 
year.  The bulk of the sales gain came from higher prices that passed on the 
increased cost of stainless steel raw material.  A change in product mix with 
more sales of high priced super alloy pipe also contributed to the increase.  
The surge in income resulted from strong stainless pipe markets that led to 
better profitability industry wide, increased volume which produced lower unit 
production cost, and rising prices that generated profits from a large 
inventory. Raw material costs and selling prices have been reasonably stable 
during the past few months and will have a negative impact on inventory 
profits in the future.  For this reason, fourth quarter operating income will 
probably be below the level achieved in the third quarter.  However, demand

continues to be strong from most of the industries using these products and 
current prices are much higher than they were a year ago.  Based on this, the 
Company expects sales and profits in the fourth quarter to be substantially 
better than they were in the comparable period in 1994.

Selling and administrative expense for the quarter and year-to-date were 
approximately seven percent of consolidated sales which is consistent with 
prior years' amounts.  Interest expense increased significantly due to 
increased borrowings needed for working capital requirements.

Cash flows from operations increased $317,000 during the first nine months of 
the year compared to a $4,232,000 increase during the same period one year 
ago.  The significant increase in activity in the Metals Segment has caused an 
expected increase in accounts receivable and inventories, net of accounts 
payable, of $15,514,000 from December 31, 1994.  The Company expects that 
available cash and existing lines of credit will be sufficient to meet normal 
operating requirements, including capital expenditures and payment of 
dividends over the near term.
