 Note 1 - General
 
 In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
 consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
 (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to
 present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1994
 and December 31, 1993 and the results of operations for the
 three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and
 1993, and cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity for the
 nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.  Such
 results, however, may not be indicative of the results for the
 full year.
 
 For additional information regarding significant accounting
 policies, and accounting matters applicable to the Company,
 reference should be made to the Company's Annual Report to
 Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.
 
 
 Note 2 - Inventories
 
 Inventories are summarized as follows (in thousands):

 Note 3 - Earnings Per Share
 
 Common stock equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 
 1994 and 1993 were anti-dilutive and excluded from the
 computation of earnings per share.  Dividends payable on
 anti-dilutive preferred stock were deducted from net earnings
 before calculating the earnings per share amount for the quarter. 
 Earnings per common share assuming full dilution are not reported
 in either of the periods because the impact would be minimal.

               Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 
 
 Note 4 - Sale of Subsidiary
 
 In July 1993 the Company completed the sale of the net assets of
 its precision potentiometer business for a cash purchase price of
 $2.8 million, which approximated the book value of the net assets
 sold.  Sales and pretax earnings of the business sold for the six
 months ended June 30, 1993 were $2.3 million and $.4 million,
 respectively.
 
 
 Note 5 - Business Acquisition
 
 In July 1994, a subsidiary of the Company acquired certain assets
 of the Ball and Socket Manufacturing Company, Inc., a
 manufacturer of metal buttons.  The purchase price was
 approximately $5.4 million, including liabilities assumed of $2.8
 million and 323,232 shares of Talley Common stock scheduled for
 issuance two years after closing.
 
 
 Note 6 - State Income Taxes
 
 Pursuant to recent legislation passed in the State of Arizona
 regarding the rules for filing consolidated state income tax
 returns, the Company has reversed $5.6 million of state income
 tax accruals to reflect the change in the law.  The new law is
 retroactive to the beginning of 1986.  (See "Management's
 Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
 Operations - Other Matters" concerning state income tax liability
 for years prior to 1986.)

   Earnings (loss) before

 Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1994
 decreased $8 million from $247.2 million to $239.2 million,
 compared with the corresponding period in the prior year.  The
 decrease in the nine-month comparison is primarily the result of
 decreased revenue in the Government Products and Services segment
 due to scheduled price reductions under certain extended range
 munitions contracts and the timing of completion and shipments
 under other contracts, offset by increasing revenue in the Airbag
 Royalties segment and the Steel Operations in the Industrial
 Products segment.  The pretax loss for the nine months ended
 September 30, 1994 was $3.4 million compared with $1.9 million
 pretax loss in the first nine months of the previous year.  The
 loss in the first nine months of 1994  includes a  $4.5 million 
 
 
 
                                   -7-
<PAGE>

 provision for litigation costs related to resolution of claims in
 connection with the airbag royalties being received from the
 licensee, partially offset by a $1.0 million pretax gain on
 reversion of surplus funds from two previously terminated pension
 plans.  Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1994
 was $1.2 million, which reflects a tax benefit resulting from
 reversal of state income tax accruals of $5.6 million, pursuant
 to a retroactive change in tax laws in the State of Arizona.
 
 Earnings from both the Airbag Royalty segment and the Industrial
 Products segment improved compared with the prior year. 
 Royalties in the Airbag Royalty segment increased by $6.2 million
 from $5.8 million in the first nine months of 1993 to $12 million
 for the first nine months of 1994, while earnings from the
 Industrial Products segment improved $2.8 million.  Earnings from
 the Government Products and Services segment and the Specialty
 Products segment for the first nine months of 1994, when compared
 with the first nine months of 1993, were $6.1 million and $.4
 million lower, respectively.  Losses in the Realty segment
 increased by $.6 million for the first nine months of 1994, when
 compared with the prior year, as a result of increased property
 maintenance and development costs.
 
 The gross profit percentage, excluding airbag and other
 royalties, of 23.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 1994
 was down slightly from the gross profit percentage of 23.7% for
 the comparable period in 1993.  The decrease from the prior year
 is primarily due to the mix of contracts.
 
   Government Products and Services.  Revenue and earnings in the
 first nine months of 1994 decreased $26 million and $6.1 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 following
 the recovery of the Company's investment in a new production
 facility, and also due to the timing of completion and shipments
 under other contracts.
 
   Airbag Royalties.  Revenue from airbag royalties increased from
 $5.8 million in the first nine months of 1993 to $12 million in
 the first nine months of 1994.  The increased royalty is the
 result of the recovering automobile and light truck industry and
 increasing airbag implementation rates.  (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 nine months of 1994
 Industrial Products sales and earnings increased $11.8 million
 and $2.8 million, respectively, when compared with the first nine
 months of 1993.  Increases in sales and earnings resulted from
 improvement in orders for stainless steel bars and rods and
 increased demand for ceramic insulator products due to increased
 construction activity and improved market share.  These increases
 partially were offset by lower welder products sales and
 earnings.  
 
 
 
 
 
                                   -8-

<PAGE> 

   Specialty Products.  During the first nine months of 1994,
 sales for the Specialty Products segment decreased $.1 million,
 from $21.9 million to $21.8 million, while earnings also
 decreased slightly from $2.9 million to $2.5 million, when
 compared with the same period in 1993.  The decrease in sales and
 earnings when compared with the prior year is primarily a result
 of a decrease in demand for certain consumer products.  
 
   Realty.  Sales of real estate in the first nine months of 1994
 were $5.9 million compared with $5.8 million for the comparable
 period in 1993.  The operating loss increased from $2.4 million
 in the first nine months of 1993 to $3 million in the first nine
 months of 1994, due to increased property maintenance and
 development costs.  On March 28, 1994, a fully consolidated real
 estate joint venture, in which the Company has a $29.2 million
 interest, instituted Chapter 11 proceedings in the United States
 Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona.  At the same time
 the joint venture filed a proposed plan of reorganization that
 would provide for the conversion of substantially all outstanding
 debt of the joint venture into equity in a new company to be
 formed to continue the project.  A subsidiary of the Company
 would own approximately two-thirds of the equity in the new
 company, if the plan is accepted.
 
   Other.  Interest expense in the first nine months of 1994
 increased to $21.1 million, from $18.1 million in the comparable
 period in 1993, mainly due to a major portion of the Company's
 debt being refinanced from variable rates to higher fixed rates. 
 Corporate overhead increased from $10.8 million to $11.2 million
 over the comparable period in 1993.  While the Corporate overhead
 expenses are comparable in the two periods, the amounts are above
 normal levels due to a provision for litigation costs in 1994 of
 $4.5 million related to resolution of claims in connection with
 airbag royalties being received from the licensee and due to
 increases in period costs associated with the Company's
 refinancing efforts in 1993.  Income tax benefit for the first
 nine months of 1994 was $4.5 million compared to a tax provision
 of $1.4 million in the comparable period in 1993.  The tax
 benefit in 1994 is the result of a 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 September 30, 1994, Talley had $8.3 million in cash and cash
 equivalents and net working capital of $49.4 million.  Cash flow
 from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
 1994 was $27.2 million, generally the result of the Company's
 successful efforts toward collection of trade receivables and the
 sale of realty assets, offset in part by increases in inventories
 and prepaid expenses.  The receivable balance at September 30,
 1994 is down from the balance at December 31, 1993 and more in
 line with historical levels after collections were received on
 major contracts.  Cash generated from operations during the first
 nine months of 1993 was $13.6 million.  Cash used in investing
 activities during the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was $8
 million, consisting of purchase of the assets of the 
 
 
 
                                    -9-

<PAGE>                                    

 Ball and Socket Manufacturing Company for $5.4 million and the
 balance was for capital expenditures.  Cash used in financing
 activities of $23.1 million reflects a reduction in debt from
 cash generated from operations and from cash available at the
 beginning of the year.
 
 In October 1993, 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 the Company to
 yield 12.25% and $115 million of Senior Notes due 2003, with an
 interest rate of 10.75% issued by Talley Manufacturing and
 Technology, Inc. ("Talley Manufacturing").   In connection with
 this refinancing, Talley Manufacturing obtained a secured credit
 facility with institutional lenders, of which approximately $48
 million was initially borrowed.  
 
 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 September 30, 1994 availability under the facility, based
 primarily on inventory and receivable levels, was approximately
 $49.0 million, of which approximately $29.0 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. 
 
 The proceeds from the offering and the initial borrowings under
 the secured credit facility were used to repay substantially all
 of the Company's previously outstanding non-real estate debt. 
 The Company anticipates that the new capital structure will
 support the long-term growth of Talley's core businesses and
 permit the implementation of its strategy to use proceeds
 received from the increasing airbag royalties and from the
 orderly sale of the assets of its real estate operations to
 reduce its total indebtedness.
 
 As a holding company with no significant operating or income-
 producing assets beyond its stock interests in Talley
 Manufacturing and the subsidiaries holding its real estate
 operations, Talley will be dependent primarily upon distributions
 from those subsidiaries in order to meet its debt service and
 other obligations.  Talley will be entitled to receive certain
 distributions from Talley Manufacturing (absent certain defaults
 under Talley Manufacturing indebtedness) for a period of five
 years, to be used to fund certain carrying and other costs
 associated with the orderly disposition of Talley's real estate
 assets.  Additional funding is also available for the real estate
 costs from the anticipated redemption of preferred stock of
 Talley Manufacturing purchased for an agreed upon amount by
 Talley in connection with the October 1993 refinancing and from
 a portion of the net cash proceeds from the sale of real estate
 assets.  Talley will be required to use certain funds received
 from Talley Manufacturing and certain funds from real estate
 sales to make offers to redeem certain indebtedness of Talley. 
 Because the cash available to Talley is required to be used for 
 
 
 
                                   -10-
                                   
<PAGE>

 these specific purposes, and because certain debt covenants limit
 Talley's ability to incur additional indebtedness, Talley will be 
 dependent upon the payment of dividends from Talley Manufacturing
 (which payments will generally be limited by debt covenants of
 Talley Manufacturing) and to future sales of equity securities as
 its primary sources of discretionary liquidity.  To the extent
 such sources do not provide adequate funds, Talley may be unable
 to fund expected costs and improvements associated with its real
 estate holdings or to make cash interest payments on its
 outstanding indebtedness when required.  Nevertheless, and
 particularly in light of the absence of requirements for Talley
 to make cash payments of interest on outstanding indebtedness
 until April 15, 1999, the Company believes that Talley will have
 funds available in sufficient amounts, and at the required times,
 to permit Talley to meet its obligations.
 
 
 Other Matters
 
 The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued a Proposed
 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards titled "Accounting
 for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets"  (the "Proposed
 Statement") which, if adopted in its present form, could have a
 material impact on the results of operations and financial
 position of the Company in the year of adoption.
 
 The application of this Proposed Statement would require the
 Company to carry the inventories of land and land under
 development owned by its subsidiaries holding its real estate
 operations at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. 
 The Company, consistent with existing generally accepted
 accounting principles, currently states the majority of its land
 and land under development at the lower of cost or net realizable
 value.  The Company has not quantified the effect of the Proposed
 Statement.
 
 As more fully explained in the Commitments and Contingencies note
 to the December 31, 1993 Consolidated Financial Statements,
 litigation between the Company and TRW, Inc. (TRW), the buyer of
 the Company's airbag business and licensee of the Company's 
 technology related thereto, has been pending since 1989.  In mid-
 February 1994 TRW filed a new declaratory judgment action
 asserting claims already made in the existing action and further
 claiming  the  Company, through the actions of a subsidiary,
 breached a non-compete provision of the Asset Purchase Agreement
 by rendering services to competitors of TRW, and requesting among
 other things a court order that a contemporaneous notice and a
 $26.5 million one-time payment that TRW sent to the Company was
 valid, entitling it to terminate that airbag royalty and obtain
 a paid up license to use the Company's airbag technology.  On
 March 1, 1994 the Company answered TRW's complaint and also filed
 counterclaims alleging that TRW had wrongfully terminated the
 license agreement, had intentionally interfered with Talley's
 business relationships and had failed to exert reasonable efforts
 to exploit the exclusive license granted to TRW by the Company.
 
 
 
 
 
                                   -11-
                                   
<PAGE>

 On March 14, 1994 the Company filed a Motion for an Order
 requiring TRW to make payment of all quarterly royalties until
 the lawsuit is finally resolved.  The Company sought the Order to
 avoid the potential harm from cash flow interruption and/or
 potential loan covenant defaults caused by TRW's failure to pay
 scheduled royalty payments.  A three day hearing on the Company's
 Motion was completed on May 3, 1994 and on May 23, 1994 the Court
 granted the Company's motion for a preliminary injunction.  The
 Court ordered TRW to continue paying royalties to the Company
 pending conclusion of the lawsuit.  On August 25, 1994 the Court
 refused TRW's motion to suspend the injunction.  A trial in this
 matter is currently scheduled to commence in March 1995.  The
 Company believes that a final hearing will show that TRW's claims
 are without merit and that the Court will enter a final Order
 confirming the Company's right to continue receiving royalty
 payments.  Therefore, no losses are anticipated under the above
 described action.
 
 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.  The Company has filed a petition for review with
 the Arizona Supreme Court.  The Company believes the appellate
 court erred in its decision, but cannot assess the likelihood of
 the Arizona Supreme Court granting the petition for review.  The
 Company anticipates that the Supreme Court will rule on the
 petition for review in approximately six months and if the
 petition is granted, the Supreme Court will require an additional
 18 months to rule on the issues.  If the appellate court decision
 stands, the Company would be liable for approximately $1.2
 million in taxes and interest for 1983.  If the Company is
 unsuccessful in its attempts to have the Arizona Supreme Court
 overturn the appellate court decision related to the 1983 fiscal
 year, the Company intends to vigorously litigate the Arizona
 Department of Revenue tax and interest assessments totalling
 approximately $5.0 million for 1984 and 1985 periods.  The
 Company does not anticipate a final resolution of the 1984 and
 1985 periods for a number of years.  Legislation adopted earlier
 this year in Arizona specifically allows companies to file
 combined tax returns in Arizona for periods from January 1, 1986. 
 Management believes that the final resolution of the above matter
 will  not result in a material adverse impact on the results of
 operations or the financial position of the Company.

 Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
 
 As more fully explained in the Commitments and Contingencies note
 to the December 31, 1993 Consolidated Financial Statements,
 litigation between the Company and TRW, Inc. (TRW), the buyer of
 the Company's airbag business and licensee of the Company's 
 technology related thereto, has been pending since 1989.  In mid-
 February 1994 TRW filed a new declaratory judgment action

 Motion was completed on May 3, 1994 and on May 23, 1994 the Court
 granted the Company's motion for a preliminary injunction.  The
 Court ordered TRW to continue paying royalties to the Company
 pending conclusion of the lawsuit.  On August 25, 1994 the Court
 refused TRW's motion to suspend the injunction.  A trial in this
 matter is currently scheduled to commence in March 1995.  The
 Company believes that a final hearing will show that TRW's claims
 are without merit and that the Court will enter a final Order
 confirming the Company's right to continue receiving royalty
 payments.  Therefore no losses are anticipated under the above
 described action.
 
 On March 28, 1994, a fully consolidated real estate joint
 venture, in which the Company has a $29.2 million interest,
 instituted Chapter 11 proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy
 Court for the District of Arizona.  At the same time the joint
 venture filed a proposed plan of reorganization that would
 provide for the conversion of substantially all outstanding debt
 of the joint venture into equity in a new company to be formed to
 continue the project.  A subsidiary of the Company, if the plan
 is accepted, would own approximately two-thirds of the equity in
 the new 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.  The Company has filed a petition for review with
 the Arizona Supreme Court.  The Company believes the appellate
 court erred in its decision, but cannot assess the likelihood of
 the Arizona Supreme Court granting the petition for review.  The
 Company anticipates that the Supreme Court will rule on the
 petition for review in approximately six months and if the
 petition is granted, the Supreme Court will require an additional
 18 months to rule on the issues.  If the appellate court decision
 stands, the Company would be liable for approximately $1.2
 million in taxes and interest for 1983.  If the Company is
 unsuccessful in its attempts to have the Arizona Supreme Court
 overturn the appellate court decision related to the 1983 fiscal
 year, the Company intends to vigorously litigate the Arizona
 Department of Revenue tax and interest assessments totalling
 approximately $5.0 million for 1984 and 1985 periods.  The
 Company does not anticipate a final resolution of  the 1984 and
 1985 periods for a number of years.  Legislation adopted earlier
 this year in Arizona specifically allows companies to file
 combined tax returns in Arizona for periods from January 1, 1986. 
 Management believes that the final resolution of the above matter
 will not result in a material adverse impact on the results of
 operations or the financial position of the Company.
 
 Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities
 
 (b) The Company has not made any dividend payments on its
      preferred and common shares since the first quarter of 1991,
      and the ability to pay dividends in the future is limited
      by the provisions of the Company's debt agreements. 
      Dividends on the shares of Series A, Series B and Series D
      Preferred stock are cumulative and must be paid in the event
      of liquidation and before any distribution to holders of
      Common stock.  These dividends are in arrears.  
 
     The Company's preferred stockholders have certain voting
      rights with respect to the election of two directors which
      were triggered by the dividend arrearages.  The preferred
      stock does not provide any other voting rights or remedies
      to the preferred stockholders in the event of a dividend
      arrearage.  Dividends on Series D Preferred Stock currently
      accrue at $4.50 per share annually.  As of February 28,
      1998, dividends of $15.75 per share are to be paid annually
      to holders of any Series D Preferred Stock still outstanding
      at that time.  Annual dividends of $1.10 per share, and
      $1.00 per share, accrue with respect to outstanding shares
      of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock,
      respectively.  Cumulative dividends on preferred shares that
      have not been declared or paid are approximately:   Series 
      A - $273,000 ($3.85 per share), Series B - $5,419,000 
      ($3.50 per share) and Series D - $1,895,000 ($15.75 per
      share).
