ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

(a)  DEVELOPMENTS SINCE JANUARY 1, 1995.

   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 all claims asserted by TRW 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.  TRW has
filed an appeal of the judgment to the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals, on which oral argument was heard on February 14, 1996.  On
January 26, 1996 the federal district court awarded the Company
$7.1 million in attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in this
litigation.  The Company anticipates that TRW will appeal this
award.  (Also see Commitments and Contingencies note to the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, included in a separate
section of this report).
   Substantially all outstanding debt of a fully consolidated real
estate joint venture, in which the Company had a $29.2 million
interest, was converted, pursuant to a plan of reorganization in a
Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding,  into equity in a new company as
of July 18, 1995.  A subsidiary of the Company now owns
approximately 90% of the equity in the new company.
   During 1995, the Company realized an extraordinary gain of
$14,409,000 from the retirement of certain realty debt.  The gain
represents the difference between the value of the debt recorded on


                                    I-1
                                    
<PAGE>                                    

the books and the consideration given and costs incurred to settle
the obligations.
   On February 2, 1996 the Company's Board of Directors approved
a transaction providing for the immediate conversion of all of the 
Company's Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred stock (120,293
shares) into 1,905,849 shares of Talley Common Stock.  The Company
completed the conversion and issued the Common stock as of February
16, 1996.  The conversion automatically extinguishes all unpaid
dividends on that stock totaling approximately $2.6 million as of
December 31, 1995.  The transaction will not impact the net
earnings of the Company in 1996, but "earnings applicable to common
shares (after deduction of preferred stock dividends)", as
supplementally disclosed by the Company, and the "earnings per
share of common stock and common equivalent share" will be reduced. 
The excess of the fair value of the common shares transferred in
the transaction by the Company to the single shareholder over the
fair value of the common shares issuable pursuant to the original
conversion terms will be subtracted from net earnings in the
calculations of net earnings available to common shareholders and
earnings per share.

(1)  GOVERNMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES SEGMENT.
   The Company's Government Products and Services segment provides
a wide range of products and services for government programs.  The 
majority of the Company's products are smaller components of larger
units and systems and are generally designed to enhance safety or
improve performance.   Products manufactured by the Company which
have significant replacement requirements  include  items  having 
finite  shelf  lives,  such  as propellants for pilot ejection
seats, as well as products regularly consumed in training and
combat situations.  Many of the  Company's  existing  products  and 
its new product development efforts are focused on mobile, tactical
and "smart" military weapons and systems.  The Company is
developing new technologies that will enable it to re-enter the
automobile airbag market, which it pioneered prior to the sale of
that business segment to TRW, Inc. in 1989.  The Company provides
a broad range of architectural and engineering design consulting
services for the U.S. Navy, commercial clients and shipyards, and
has most recently been expanding its design services into the
environmental protection market.
SOLID PROPELLANT DEVICES AND RELATED PRODUCTS
   A majority of the products manufactured by the Company's
Government Products and Services segment are based upon the
Company's core technologies and expertise in the design and
manufacture of propellants and related products.  Propellants are

<PAGE>                                    

solid fuels which, when ignited, produce a specified thrust or
volume of gas for a designated period.  The Company's propellant
products are typically custom designs developed by the Company in
response to customers' technical requirements and specifications. 
   The following sets forth a brief summary of several of the
solid propellant devices and related products manufactured by the
Company:
   >  PILOT EJECTION SYSTEMS.  The Company manufactures ejection

      rocket motors and rocket catapults.  These products include
      booster rockets for decoy missiles, as well as for unmanned
      vehicles.  The Company also manufactures rocket catapults
      and rocket motors for its aircraft escape systems.
   >  GAS GENERATORS.  The Company manufactures a broad range of
      solid propellant gas generators.  These products provide
      pneumatic power for guidance and control systems, hydraulic
      systems, and safe and arming devices on a wide range of
      missile systems.
   >  EXTENDED RANGE MUNITIONS COMPONENTS.  The Company's extended
      range munitions components utilize propellant technologies
      to dramatically extend the range of U.S. artillery.  The
      Company's extended range munitions utilize a solid
      propellant to reduce drag or rocket assist to provide thrust
      to extend the range of new howitzer artillery.

                                    I-5
                                    
<PAGE>                                    

   >  DISPERSION SYSTEMS.  The Company pioneered the use of airbag
      technologies for modern munitions delivery systems.  The
      Company's  dispersion systems utilize airbag assemblies to
      eject submunitions from carrier missile systems.
   >  WEAPONS SYSTEMS.  These weapon systems include a light anti-
      armor weapon for the U.S. Navy and a light-weight disposable
      version of  a U.S. Marine Corps shoulder-launched weapon
      system for the U.S. Army.  
   >  EJECTOR RACKS.  These ejection racks enable helicopter
      pilots to discard munitions, missiles or extra fuel in
      emergency situations.
   >  COUNTERMEASURE SYSTEMS.  The Company manufactures several
      training and combat countermeasure systems for naval,
      aircraft and submarine applications.  Countermeasure systems
      are designed to divert incoming weapons from their targets. 
   >  INSENSITIVE MUNITIONS.  The Company develops and
      manufactures  propellant products which are being qualified
      to meet certain rigorous safety requirements.  These
      munitions are generally insensitive to shock, puncture, 
      high temperatures and pressure.
   >  ELECTRO EXPLOSIVE DEVICES ("EED").  Electro-explosive
      devices manufactured by the Company include rocket motor
      igniters, explosive bolts and separation nuts and booster
      cartridges, as well as initiators for these and other
      components.

      high voltage connections and cable assemblies.  The major
      applications for these products include medical equipment,
      radar and CRT displays, electronic countermeasure systems
      and power supplies.
NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND MARINE ENGINEERING SERVICES
   The Company's naval architecture and marine engineering
business provides a broad range of consulting services for the U.S.
Navy, as well as for commercial clients and shipyards.  The
Company's naval design and engineering business has provided
services for over 35 years and possesses domestic and international 

                                    I-8
                                    
<PAGE>                                    

experience in all phases of the design process for military and
commercial ships.  These services include  initial  feasibility 
and conceptual studies, contract design, and detail design and
engineering for new and retrofitted ships.  The Company also
provides the engineering services necessary to physically integrate
combat systems and electronics into Navy ships and provides program
management and logistics support services to the Navy and
commercial customers.  The Company has been expanding its design
services into the environmental protection market, and has 
been successful in obtaining a prime contract in support of the
U.S. Navy's Hazardous Material Afloat program.  The Company
maintains separate segments to meet the different technical,
performance and administrative needs of its customers.
   Direct contracts with the U.S. Navy currently account for a
majority of the Company's naval architecture and marine engineering
revenue, with additional revenue attributable to subcontracts under
Navy contracts.  The remaining revenues are derived from commercial
shipyards or industrial customers for ship and other marine design
services.  The majority of the Company's contracts with the U.S.
Navy are cost plus a fixed fee.  Under these contracts, the Company
is reimbursed for its actual costs plus a percentage fee based on
the estimated costs in the original contract.
   The demand for design services for the U.S. Navy is largely
driven by the number of new ship classes being developed or older
classes being retrofitted, versus the actual number of ships within
a class being built or operated.  The majority of engineering and
detail design costs are incurred with the introduction of a new
class of ship or the retrofit of one or more ships of an existing
class.

<PAGE>                                    

MARKETING
   The Company markets its government products and services
directly to the Department of Defense, other U.S. government
departments, foreign government agencies, and other contractors.  
The Company's  marketing strategy focuses on those contracts and
programs which are likely to be emphasized in the current defense
environment and for which the Company has a competitive advantage
in technology and expertise.
   The Company's technical sales personnel are strategically
located across the country for easy access to its customers.  The
Company also uses  independent  sales agents to market its products
to various foreign governments and to sell  its  electronic 
component  products.  In addition, the Company enters into joint
marketing agreements with foreign manufacturers to provide access
to markets not available directly to the Company.
COMPETITION
   Competition for the Company's government products and services
varies widely.  The markets for several of the Company's products
and services are highly competitive, and many of the Company's
competitors have greater financial resources than the Company. 
However, the Company also competes in a variety of small niche
markets.  Production of the products within these markets
frequently requires government/product qualification, which can be
costly and time-consuming to obtain.  Once a contract has been has
been awarded, the relatively small size of these markets often
discourages additional suppliers from pursuing qualification. 
Within these markets the Company is occasionally a sole supplier.


                                   I-10
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

   The market for the Company's electronics components products
is highly competitive.  The Company believes that it shares the
market for aerospace elapsed time indicators, fault indicators and
events counters primarily with one competitor.  The Company
believes that its safe and arming devices compete with several
companies.
   The Company believes that its market for naval architectural
and marine engineering services is served by the Company and a
small number of other major firms.  These companies actively
compete with each other, and to a lesser extent with smaller design
firms, for U.S. Navy programs, foreign contracts and subcontracts
with private shipyards. 
GOVERNMENT CONTRACT MATTERS
   A high percentage of the Company's government defense contracts
are fixed-price contracts.  The Company's naval architecture and
marine engineering contracts are generally cost reimbursable. 
Although the Company's fixed-price contracts generally permit the
Company to retain unexpected profits if costs  are less than 
projected, the Company bears the risk that increased or unexpected
costs may reduce profit or cause the Company to sustain losses on
a particular contract.  From time to time the Company accepts
fixed-price contracts for products that have not been previously
developed.  In such cases, the Company is subject to the risk of
delays and cost over-runs.  Under U.S. Government regulations,
certain costs, including financing and interest costs and foreign
marketing expenses, are not allowable.  The U.S. Government also
regulates the methods under which costs are allocated to Government
contracts.   With  respect  to  U.S. Government contracts that are

                                   I-11
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

obtained pursuant to an open bid process and therefore result in a
firm fixed price, the Government has no right to renegotiate any
profits earned thereunder.  In Government contracts where the price
is negotiated at a fixed price rather than on a cost-plus basis, as
long as the financial and pricing information supplied to the
Government is current, accurate and complete, the Government has no
right to renegotiate any profits earned thereunder.  However, if
the Government later conducts an audit of the contractor and
determines that such data was inaccurate, or incomplete or not
current, the Government may initiate an action to recover the
amount of any significantly overstated costs plus applicable profit
or fee and interest.  If the submission of inaccurate, incomplete
or not current data was knowingly made, then the Government may
seek to recover an additional penalty equal to the amount of the
overstated costs; and if the submission was willful or intentional
the Government may seek additional penalties and damages.  Certain
cost reimbursement contracts are also subject to review and price
adjustment by the Government.
   U.S. Government contracts are, by their terms, subject to
termination by the Government either for its convenience or for
default by the contractor.  Fixed-price contracts provide for
payment upon termination for items delivered to and accepted by the
Government.   If the termination is for convenience, fixed-price
contracts provide for payment of the contractor's costs incurred
plus the costs of settling and paying claims by terminated
subcontractors, other settlement expenses and a reasonable profit
on its incurred performance costs. However, if a fixed-price
contract termination is for default, (i) the contractor is paid

                                   I-12
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

such amount as may be agreed upon for completed and partially
completed products and services accepted by the Government, (ii)
the Government is not liable for the contractor's costs with
respect to unaccepted items and is entitled to repayment of advance
payments and progress payments, if any, related to the terminated
portions of the contracts and (iii) the contractor may be liable
for excess costs incurred by the Government in procuring
undelivered products and services from another source.  Foreign
defense contracts generally contain comparable provisions relating
to termination at the convenience of the government.
   Companies supplying defense-related products and services to
the U.S. Government are subject to certain additional business
risks unique to that industry.  These risks include:  the ability
of the Government to unilaterally suspend the Company from new
contracts pending resolution of alleged violations of certain
procurement laws or regulations; procurements which are dependent
upon appropriated funds by the Government; changes in the
Government's procurement policies (such as a greater emphasis on
competitive procurements or cancellation of programs due to
budgetary changes); the possibility of inadvertent Government
disclosure of a contractor's proprietary information to third
parties; and the possible need to bid on programs in advance of
design completion.  A reduction in expenditures by the Government
for the Company's products and services, lower margins resulting
from increasingly competitive procurement policies, a reduction in
the volume of contracts or subcontracts awarded to the Company,
incomplete, inaccurate or non-current data allegations,
terminations or cancellations of programs, or substantial cost

                                   I-13
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

over-runs could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations.
BACKLOG
   The backlog of firm orders in the Government Products and
Services segment amounted to approximately $469 million at December
31, 1995, $97 million at December 31, 1994 and $128 million at
December 31, 1993.  The Company estimates that approximately $106
million of the orders outstanding at December 31, 1995 will be
delivered by December 31, 1996.  The backlog amounts as presented
herein are composed of funded and unfunded components.  The
government funded components and firm industrial contracts on
December 31, 1995 and 1994 totaled $98.9 million and $97.3 million,
respectively.
   The term funded used herein refers to the aggregate revenue
remaining to be earned at a given time under (i) contracts held by
the Company (excluding renewals or extensions thereof, which are at
the discretion of the customer) to the extent of the funded (i.e.,
appropriated by Congress and allotted to the contract by the
procuring Government agency) amounts thereunder, and (ii) task
orders or delivery orders issued to the Company under contracts
which provide that the customer is obligated to pay only for
services rendered pursuant to specific funded task orders and is
not obligated to issue additional task orders or to pay the
estimated total contract price.  The term unfunded used herein
refers to the portion of the Company's total backlog that
represents the excess of the stated value of the Company's executed
contracts over the amounts funded by the customer for such
contracts including unexercised options.

(2)  AIRBAG ROYALTIES SEGMENT.
   This segment of the Company's business consists of the
Company's royalty entitlement under the license agreement it signed
with TRW Inc. in April 1989 in connection with the sale of the
Company's automotive airbag business to TRW at that time.  Under
the terms of that license agreement, the Company is entitled to
receive a royalty each quarter from TRW measured by the level of
TRW's airbag sales and the level of industry sales, as more fully
described below.
   As described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
under the heading Commitments and Contingencies on page F-34 to
F-36 of the Company's financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1995, included in a separate section of this report,
a judgment was entered in the Company's favor in June 1995 to the
effect that TRW had breached its obligations under the license
agreement, and the Company was awarded $138 million, as the jury's
calculation of the present value of the royalties estimated to be
payable by TRW to the Company under the license agreement for the
balance of its term.  That judgment is currently on appeal by TRW,
but pending resolution of the appeal, the trial court has ordered
TRW to continue to make quarterly payments to the Company in the
amount of royalties that otherwise would be due under the license
agreement.  If and when the judgment is affirmed on appeal, TRW
will be obligated to pay the judgment to the Company (plus accrued
interest from the date of the judgment, but net of the quarterly
payments made by TRW since the date of the judgment).  At that
time, TRW's obligation to make further royalty payments would
cease, because the effect of the judgment award is to pre-pay the

                                   I-15
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

royalties otherwise accruing under the license agreement.
   Accordingly, the descriptions below of this segment of the
Company's business and the Company's royalty entitlement under the
1989 license agreement are subject to the judgment entered in the
Company's favor and the effect of that judgment (as, if and when
affirmed on the pending appeal) upon the Company's entitlement to
any further royalties once the judgment has been paid by TRW.
   As an outgrowth of the research and development efforts in its
core propellant businesses, the Company was a pioneer in the
development of the automotive airbag.  Airbags supplied by the
Company were installed by General Motors in approximately 12,000
automobiles during the 1970's and were the first airbags installed
in any significant number of automobiles.  While the Company's
program with General Motors was successful, low market awareness
and acceptance prevented the airbag from attaining wide-spread
popularity for a number of years.  During this period, the Company
continued to develop and refine its airbag technology, while
establishing relationships with certain U.S. and foreign automakers
and suppliers.  As demand for airbags increased in the 1980's, the
Company's technology, manufacturing expertise and strong customer
relationships made it a leading supplier of automobile airbags, and
the Company designed and constructed a highly automated production
facility that began producing airbags in volume during 1988.  In
1989,  the Company sold its automotive airbag business to TRW, in
part because TRW's offer involved not only an attractive cash price
for the business, but also an opportunity to participate in the
future growth of the industry.  This participation comes through a
royalty agreement under which royalties are payable both on TRW's

                                   I-16
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

worldwide airbag sales and on its competitors' airbags installed in
vehicles manufactured or sold in North America.
   At the closing of the 1989 sale of TRW, the Company received
$97.8 million in cash and entered into the 12-year Airbag Royalty
Agreement.  The Airbag Royalty Agreement requires TRW to pay the
Company quarterly royalties through April 30, 2001 (the "Airbag
Royalty") based upon the following formula: (i) $1.16 for each
airbag "unit" (inflator plus one or more components) manufactured
and sold by TRW worldwide (the per-unit amount increases by $.01 on
May 1 of each year); (ii) 75% of the per-unit amount for each
inflator manufactured and sold separately by TRW worldwide; and
(iii) $0.55 for each airbag unit supplied by any other airbag
manufacturer and installed in any vehicle manufactured  or sold in
North America.  The Company will receive the Airbag Royalty for any
airbag using a gas-generating composition; the higher royalty
amount for TRW airbags applies regardless of whether the specific
technology used is that which was originally licensed by the
Company to TRW.  The Company also is entitled to receive royalties
from TRW for technology licenses and similar arrangements under
which TRW makes its airbag technology available to third parties. 
Royalties to the Company from such arrangements have not been
significant to date.
   The terms of the Airbag Royalty Agreement allow the Company to
participate in the expanding market for airbags.  A continued
increase in the use of dual vehicle airbags is expected as a
consequence of several factors, including: (i) government
legislation mandating the use of dual airbags in all cars,
light trucks, sport utility  vehicles and vans sold in the U.S.

                                   I-17
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

on a phased-in basis; (ii) increasing consumer demand as a result
of the demonstrated effectiveness of airbags at saving lives and
preventing serious injury, and the convenience of airbags as
compared with automatic seatbelts; and (iii) the decreasing price
of airbags as competition and production volumes increase.  The
U.S. government has passed legislation mandating that airbags be
installed as standard equipment according to the following
schedule: (i) 95% of 1997 model year cars (100% of 1998 models) are
to be equipped with driver and passenger side airbags for the front
seat, and (ii) 80% of 1998 model-year light trucks, vans and sport
utility vehicles (100% of 1999 models) are to be equipped with
driver and passenger side airbags for the front seat.  
(3)  INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS SEGMENT.
   The Company's Industrial Products segment operates in three
product areas:  stainless steel, high-voltage ceramic insulators
and other specialized industrial products.  Demand for the
Company's products is directly related to the level of general
economic activity and therefore has been positively impacted most
recently by an improved national economy and increased construction
activity.   The Company's operations are technologically advanced
and its products are highly competitive in terms of quality, brand
recognition and price.  The Company's stainless steel mini-mill
utilizes modern computer automation, strict quality controls, and
strong engineering and technical capabilities to maintain its
position as a low cost, high quality producer of stainless bar and
rod products.



                                   I-18
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

STAINLESS STEEL
   The Company operates a modern stainless steel mini-mill which
converts purchased stainless steel billets into a variety of
grades, sizes and shapes of hot rolled and cold finished bar and
rod.  The facility utilizes computer automation and quality control
processes that have resulted in a high standard of product quality,
service and delivery.  Located in South Carolina, the mini-mill has
relatively low operating costs and is situated close to major
north-south and east-west interstate highways.  The Company has
annealing, shot blasting, pickling and cold finishing capabilities,
which broaden the product range, shorten lead times, improve
product quality and lower costs.  The Company sells its products to
a number of steel distributors, including a master distributor
which is owned by the Company, and to a lesser extent to industrial
end-users.  The Company-owned master distributor sells stainless
steel bar, angle and flats to independent distributors, and also
provides cutting, grinding and boring services.  The Company's
master distributor, which resells approximately 15% of the mini-
mill's total production currently, has five distribution depots
located in South Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois and
Texas.  The Company also owns a Canadian distributor, which sells
primarily flat stainless steel products (not produced by the mini-
mill). This distributor has locations in Ontario and Quebec.
HIGH-VOLTAGE CERAMIC INSULATORS
   The Company's high-voltage ceramic insulator business
manufactures and sells electrical insulators and related items for
use in power transmission and distribution systems, principally 


                                   I-19
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

to electric utilities, municipalities and other government units,
as well as to electrical contractors and original equipment
manufacturers.  High-voltage ceramic insulators are required to
perform with high levels of reliability and typically require
product certification from electric utilities to be used for new or 
replacement applications. Demand for these products is influenced
by the level of economic activity, particularly housing starts,
with a fairly stable minimum demand level due to normal replacement
and repair cycles.
   The Company's primary customers include original equipment
manufacturers as well as many of the major utilities throughout the
U.S. and the world.  
OTHER SPECIALIZED INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
   The Company designs, manufactures and sells specialized
advanced-technology welding equipment and systems, power supply
systems and humidistats, and also provides contract assembly and
manufacturing for original equipment manufacturers.  The Company's
welding  equipment and systems are highly-engineered and advanced
technologically.  The Company's product lines include patented
welding systems which can be remotely controlled for use in
radioactive and other contaminated environments.  These products
are sold to the utility, pipeline, shipbuilding, aerospace and
specialty construction industries.
   The power supply systems manufactured by the Company are
principally low-wattage systems and are sold to original equipment
manufacturers in the telecommunications, medical, computer and
other industrial markets. The power supply market is highly
competitive, with numerous manufacturers in the U.S.

                                   I-20
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

   The Company also manufactures and sells humidistats. 
Humidistats are used to regulate humidity levels and are
principally sold to home appliance manufacturers.
MARKETING
   The Company markets its industrial products to domestic and
foreign business organizations and government entities.  These
organizations vary in size, complexity and purchasing structures. 
The Company's sales and marketing efforts use a combination of
direct sales, independent distributors and original equipment
manufacturers arrangements.
COMPETITION
   The Company's Industrial Products businesses are highly
competitive, with competition typically based on price, quality,
delivery time, engineering expertise and customer service.  The
Company's competitors include major domestic and international
companies, many of which have financial, technical, marketing,
manufacturing, distribution and other resources substantially
greater than those of the Company, as well as smaller competitors
which focus on specific market niches.  
BACKLOG
   The backlog of firm orders in the Industrial Products segment
totaled approximately $34 million at December 31, 1995, $32 million
at December 31, 1994 and $19 million at December 31, 1993.  The
Company estimates that substantially all of the orders outstanding
at December 31, 1995 will be delivered by December 31, 1996. 
Increases are attributed to general improvement in the economy, a
major steel mill competitor exiting the market and an increase in
demand from new and current customers.

                                   I-21
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

(4)  SPECIALTY PRODUCTS SEGMENT.
   The Company's Specialty Products segment is focused on two
primary markets:  insect and odor control for the industrial
maintenance supply, pest control and agricultural markets, and
custom designed metal buttons for the military and commercial
uniform and fashion markets.  
INSECT AND ODOR CONTROL
   The Company offers a complete line of insecticides, air
fresheners and sanitizers for sale through distributors to the
industrial maintenance supply, pest control and agricultural
markets.  The Company's insecticide products are sold under 
unique trademarks to agricultural and pest control distributors,
respectively, who sell to pest control professionals.  The
Company's insecticide formulations focus on using natural active
ingredients including pyrethrin  (derived from the chrysanthemum
flower), boric acid and sassafras.  The Company offers a complete
line of insecticides to control the most common crawling and flying
insects.  The insecticides are mixed and packaged at the Company's
Louisiana manufacturing plant and formulated into aerosol, liquid
and powder form.  
   Air freshening and sanitizing products are formulated and
packaged for specific air freshening and sanitizing situations,
which vary based on room size, type of odor to be treated, and
desired fragrance.  In addition, the products are designed for one
of four different delivery methods: (i) metered, automatic aerosols
for areas up to 6,000 cubic feet, (ii) fan delivered solids for
areas up to 1,500 cubic feet, (iii) manual aerosols for immediate
air freshening and (iv) passive solids for small enclosed areas.  

                                   I-22
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

   In addition to manufacturing odor and insect control
formulations, the Company also manufactures and sells metered and
fan driven dispensers for these products.  Metered dispensers
utilize a timing mechanism to deliver aerosol spray at programmable
time intervals.  Fan driven dispensers utilize battery operated
fans to distribute the scent of selected air fresheners.
CUSTOM METAL BUTTONS
   The Company designs and manufactures a wide range of custom
metal buttons for the military and commercial uniform and fashion
markets.  The Company also produces insignias, cuff links, money
clips, tie bars and other accessories as a complement to its button
products.  The buttons are individually stamped from custom
designed steel dies.
   The use of steel dies and a brass stamping process allow the
Company to produce button designs with extremely fine detail and
high resolution.  The Company custom designs and produces metal
buttons for the U.S. military based on detailed military
specifications.  The market for commercial uniform buttons includes
local police, fire departments and other civil servants.  The
Company continues to increase its presence in the fashion apparel
market by working with apparel manufacturers on custom button
designs for their manufactured garments.
MARKETING
   The Company utilizes several hundred independent distributors
to market its insect and odor control products to the various pest
control and sanitary supply companies that service the industrial
maintenance supply and commercial pest control industry.  The
agricultural market is served by a large number of independent

                                   I-23
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

agricultural products distributors.  The Company has a small 
marketing  staff  which is responsible for working with and
overseeing the distributors who carry its products.
   The Company's button business maintains a small sales force
which is responsible for obtaining new and maintaining existing
customer relationships.  Individual sales representatives are
focused on the military commercial uniform market, the fashion
apparel markets and the men's accessories market.  The Company's
advertising for its Specialty Products businesses is limited to
product brochures and ads in various trade publications.
COMPETITION
   Competitors for the Company's pest and odor control products
consist of numerous small companies as well as divisions of large
corporations.  Because pest and odor control is a broad market,
competitors include a range of chemical, manufacturing and pet care
companies.  Competition for pest control products is based on
product efficiency, quality, price and the ability to offer a broad
range of product formulations.
   Competitors for the Company's custom button business consist
principally of two companies, both of which are similar in size to
the Company's button operations.  The Company maintains the
strongest position in the military and commercial uniform market. 
Both of the Company's competitors maintain an equal presence with
the Company in the fashion markets.
BACKLOG
   The backlog of firm orders in the Specialty Products segment
totaled approximately $.9 million at December 31, 1995, $1.4
million at December 31, 1994 and $1.4 million at December 31, 1993. 

                                   I-24
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

The Company estimates that substantially all of the orders
outstanding at December 31, 1995 will be delivered by December 31,
1996.
(5)  REAL ESTATE HELD FOR ORDERLY DISPOSITION.
   In 1992, Management adopted a plan to dispose of the Company's
real estate operations, reflecting a strategic decision to exit
this business.  The Company's real estate portfolio consists
primarily of undeveloped commercial, industrial and residential
land located in the greater Phoenix, Arizona; San Diego, California
and San Antonio, Texas areas.
(6) OTHER GENERAL INFORMATION.
   RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  During the years ended December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company's consolidated expenditures for
Company-sponsored research and development activities were
approximately $4.2 million, $4.3 million and $3.1 million,
respectively.  For the same reporting periods, customer-sponsored
research and development expenditures were $10.1 million, $8.2
million and $11.6 million, respectively.
   ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.  The Company does not anticipate that
compliance with various laws and regulations relating to the
protection  of  the  environment will have any material effect upon
its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.  (Also
see Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" and "Commitments and Contingencies"
note to the consolidated financial statements, included in a
separate section of this report).
   EMPLOYEES.  As of December 31, 1995, the Company had 2,359
employees, approximately 17% of whom are represented by unions.


                                   I-25
                                   
<PAGE>                                   

   PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.  Various of the Company's businesses are
dependent in part upon unpatented know-how and technologies,
including the solid propellent businesses.  While various patents,
trademarks and tradenames are held by the Company and are used in
its businesses, none of them are critical to any segment, and the
Company's business is not dependent upon them to a material extent.

(d)  FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS
AND EXPORT SALES.

   Information required by this item is incorporated by reference
to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing under
the heading "Segment Operations" on pages F-40 through F-46 of the

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
                                                                  


Introduction

   Revenue and results of operations improved significantly over
1994.  General economic improvement and operating efficiencies have
benefited the Company's stainless steel production and distribution
business, which has been a major factor in the improved financial
results.  The expanding demand for automotive airbags has increased
the Company's airbag royalties.  For the year ended December 31,
1995 the Company had net earnings of $18.0 million, an improvement
over the net earnings in 1994 of $3.5 million.  Earnings in 1995
include a $14.4 million extraordinary gain from the settlement of
certain real estate debt for less than book value, and a $7.0
million provision for reserve on realty assets resulting from the
decision to sell a property over the short-term in bulk rather than
to pursue parcel sales over the next several years.  
   Revenues in 1995 were $385.3 million, compared to $327.8
million in 1994.  Increases in revenues from the Company's steel
operations of $47.9 million were partially offset by decreases in
certain defense contract revenues.  The reduction in defense
contract revenue is primarily associated with the overall reduction
in defense spending and the completion of certain contracts.
   The gross profit percentage on sales and services (exclusive of
airbag and other royalties) decreased from 24.1% in 1994 to 23.4%
in 1995.  The decrease is primarily due to completion in 1994 of
certain non-recurring high margin defense contracts.
   Revenue for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased $3.6
million when compared with 1993.  Net earnings of $3.5 million in
1994 compares with a net loss of $6.5 million in the prior year.
The gross profit percentage increased from 23.1% in 1993 to 24.1%
in 1994, primarily due to a change in the mix of defense contracts
and improvement in stainless steel pricing.

Government Products and Services

   Revenue from the Government Products and Services segment in
1995 decreased $1.5 million or 1% compared with 1994.  Operating
income decreased $8.0 million or 44%.  The decrease in revenue and
operating income resulted primarily from the overall reduction in
U.S. Defense spending and the completion of certain non-recurring
contracts.  Decreases were also attributed to certain contract
delays.
  U.S. Defense spending has declined over the last several years as
part of efforts to refocus national spending and reduce the federal
budget deficit.  The Company has experienced a reduction in some

its defense businesses are relatively well-positioned within their
respective markets and are focused on products consistent with the
current  military  philosophy,  which  emphasizes "smart", tactical
weapons and lighter, more mobile fighting forces.  In addition,
management is emphasizing non-military products to lessen the
Company's dependency on government contracts.
    Revenue and operating income for the year ended December 31,
1994 decreased by $29.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively,
when compared with 1993.  The decrease in revenue and operating
income resulted primarily from the completion of certain non-
recurring contracts and a scheduled pricing reduction under an
extended range munitions program.

Airbag Royalty

    Under the terms of an airbag licensing agreement executed in
April 1989, the Company has the right to receive royalty payments
for a period of twelve years ending April 30, 2001.  Revenue from
airbag royalties increased from $17.3 million in 1994 to $24.0
million in 1995.  The increase is primarily a result of the
increasing airbag installation rates.  The timing and amount of
increases in the airbag royalty stream are dependent on several
factors, such as the number of vehicles manufactured or sold in the
United States, the timing of U.S. car makers' compliance with
legislative mandates and the market shares of the licensee (both
foreign and domestic), which are beyond the control of the Company. 
On June 27, 1995, the Company was awarded $138 million which
represents the jury's determination of the present value of the
royalties that would otherwise have been paid to the Company
through April 2001.  This award is being appealed; however, the
federal district court has ordered the quarterly payments to
continue during the appeal.  Discontinuance of quarterly payments
for any reason would have an adverse impact on the Company's future
earnings.  (See also Commitments and Contingencies note to the
consolidated financial statements.)
    Royalty income from automotive airbags increased from $9.6
million in 1993 to $17.3 million in 1994.

Industrial Products

    The Industrial Products segment had increased revenue of $54.6
million, or 42%, and increased operating income of $15.2 million in
1995 when compared to 1994.  The increase in revenue is primarily
related to the increased orders and higher selling prices

Industrial Products, continued

for stainless steel bars and rods and increased demand for ceramic
insulator products due to an improved national economy, increased
construction activity, a reduction in the number of competitors and
improved market share.  In early 1995 the U.S. Commerce Department
placed anti-dumping tariffs on stainless steel bars imported from
certain countries, which the Company believes have aided in the
continuance of the positive performance of the steel operations. 
Sales from the Company's steel operations for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $145.8 million and $97.9 million,
respectively.  Operating income for 1995 and 1994 was $19.7 million
and $6.7 million, respectively.
    In 1994, revenue and operating income for this segment
increased $21.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively, when
compared to 1993.  The increases were due primarily to the improved
demand for stainless steel bars and rods.  Operating results also
increased due to rising prices in stainless steel bars and rods and
due to cost reduction efforts at the Company's steel and ceramic
insulator operations.

Specialty Products

    The Specialty Products segment had increased revenue and a
slight increase in operating income in 1995 when compared to 1994
of $2.7 million and $.3 million, respectively.  The acquisition of
a manufacturer of metal buttons in mid 1994 was the primary reason
for the sales improvement over the 1994 results, in spite of
sluggish demand for certain other consumer products.  
    Revenue in 1994 increased $2.4 million, while operating income
decreased slightly by $.1 million over 1993.  The increase in
revenue resulted from the mid-year acquisition of the manufacturer
of metal buttons.

Realty

    In 1993, the Company initiated a plan for the orderly
disposition of all its remaining real estate assets.  Sales in the
Realty segment were $2.2 million in 1995, $7.2 million in 1994 and
$6.1 million in 1993.  The operating loss increased from $3.7
million in 1994 to $11.4 million in 1995 due primarily to a $7.0
million provision for reserve on realty assets resulting from the
decision to sell a property over the short-term in bulk rather
than pursue parcel sales over the next several years.  The
operating loss in 1993 was $4.4 million.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
                                                                  


Realty, continued

    On March 28, 1994, a fully consolidated real estate joint
venture, in which the Company had 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.  On April 28, 1995 the Court approved the plan,
subject to the consummation of certain settlement agreements with
several creditors of the joint venture.  These conditions were
satisfied and the plan became effective on July 18, 1995.  A
subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to the provisions of the plan,
now owns approximately 90% of the equity of the new company.
    The valuation of the real estate assets of the above-mentioned
joint venture is premised upon the future sale of the property
following the completion of planned improvements.  While the
venture will continue to try to sell this property in its current
condition, the Company believes that a sale is not likely unless
the joint venture is able to obtain additional financing to perfect
and maintain the development entitlements and to construct the
necessary infrastructure and other improvements to obtain salable
development tracts and lots.  If the Company is unable to sell the
property in its current condition and is also unable to obtain
development financing, the Company could incur a loss of
substantially all of its investment in the project.  
    The estimated net realizable value for each Realty property
equals or exceeds its book value.  It is currently the Company's
intention to dispose of these properties in an orderly process over
time.  Accordingly, the lower of historical cost or estimated net
realizable value is the appropriate carrying value for properties
under generally accepted accounting principles.  If, however, the 
Company  were to change its intention and any of these properties
were sold in bulk at market values, the Company could incur a
material loss. Additionally, if market conditions deteriorate
further or continue to remain depressed for an extended period of
time (and as a result the sales do not occur as estimated in the
net realizable value analyses), the Company may incur material
losses.

Other Matters

    In 1995, other income, net of other expenses was a net expense
of $3.6 million, compared to $3.0 million in 1994 and 1993.  The
Company's other expenses are expenses primarily incurred in

connection with holding and developing real estate properties
totaling $3.6 million in 1995, $3.6 million in 1994 and $4.0
million in 1993.  These expenses have been included in the Realty
segment operating results.  Interest income, which is one of the
major other components of other income, and is related to the
balance in notes receivable and short-term investments, was $.6
million in 1995, $.5 million in 1994 and $.6 million in 1993. 
Corporate overhead was $15.5 million in 1995, $17.2 million in 1994
and $14.8 million in 1993.  The amounts are above normal levels due
to litigation costs in 1995 of approximately $5.0 million and in
1994 of approximately $6.0 million related to resolution of claims
in connection with airbag royalties being received from the
licensee, and the inclusion in 1993 of certain period costs
associated with the Company's refinancing efforts in that year.  On
January 26, 1996, the federal district court awarded the Company
$7.1 million in attorney fees and expenses incurred in its
litigation with the licensee (see Commitments and Contingencies
note to the Consolidated Financial Statements).  The Company
anticipates that the licensee will appeal the award.
    Due to an unrecognized federal tax carryforward benefit,
primarily the result of losses in the Company's Realty segment, the
Company has had no federal tax provision in 1995, 1994 and 1993. 
The income tax provision for 1995 was $3.4 million compared to a
net tax benefit of $4.3 million in 1994.  The tax benefit in 1994
is primarily the result of favorable state tax legislation in the
State of Arizona, which resulted in a $5.6 million reversal of
state income taxes previously accrued.  This benefit is partially
offset by other state tax provisions. 
    The Company's backlog was approximately $503.3 million as of
December 31, 1995 and $130.9 million as of December 31, 1994.
Approximately 27.9% of the backlog as of December 31, 1995 is
expected to result in revenue during 1996, with the remaining 72.1%
expected to result in revenue during subsequent periods.  The
backlog amounts as presented herein are composed of funded and
unfunded components.  The government funded components and firm
industrial contracts at December 31, 1995 and 1994 totaled $133.5
million and $130.9 million, respectively.
    The term "funded" used herein refers to the aggregate revenue
remaining to be earned at a given time under (i) contracts held by
the Company (excluding renewals or extensions thereof, which are at
the discretion of the customer) to the extent of the funded (i.e.,
appropriated by Congress and allotted to the contract by the
procuring Government agency) amounts thereunder, and (ii) "task
orders" or "delivery orders" issued to the Company under contracts
which provide that the customer is obligated to pay only for

services rendered pursuant to specific funded task orders and is
not obligated to issue additional task orders or to pay the
estimated total contract price.  The term "unfunded" used herein
refers to the portion of the Company's total backlog that
represents the excess of the stated value of the Company's executed
contracts over the amounts funded by the customer for such
contracts including unexercised options.
    Substantially all operations of the Company are located within
the United States.  The Company operates a steel distribution
system in Canada which had sales in 1995 of $15.6 million or 4% of
consolidated revenue and earnings before income taxes of $2.4
million.
    Foreign exchange gains and losses for each of the last three
years have not been material.  The general lack of inflationary
pressures in areas where the Company and its subsidiaries operate
also limited the impact of changing prices on the Company's sales
and income from operations for the three years ended December 31,
1995.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

    In October 1994 the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 119
"Disclosure About Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value
of Financial Instruments" effective for the Company at December 31,
1994.  The Company does not presently have nor has it had any
derivative type instruments since mid-1993 when a single interest
rate swap agreement was terminated as described in the notes to the
financial statements.
    In late March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed of," which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995.  The application of this
Statement will require the Company to carry real estate projects
that are substantially complete and ready for their intended use at
the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell.  If the sum of
the expected future net cash flow (undiscounted and without
interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of projects that
are not substantially complete and ready for their intended use, an
impairment loss would be recognized.  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 effect of implementing this new
accounting pronouncement has not yet been quantified.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, continued

    In October 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which is effective for
transactions entered  into  in  fiscal years that begin after
December 15, 1995.  The Company has employee incentive arrangements
wherein employees receive shares of stock.  When this pronouncement
becomes effective, the Company will be required to account for such
transactions under the "fair value" based method or the "intrinsic
value" based method.  Under the "fair value" based method,
compensation cost is measured at the  grant date, based on the
value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which
is usually the vesting period.  Under the "intrinsic value" based
method, (present accounting), compensation cost is the excess, if
any, of the quoted market price of the stock at grant date or other
measurement date, over the amount an employee must pay to acquire
the stock.  For stock options, fair value is determined using an
option-pricing model that takes into account the stock price at the
grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the option,
the volatility of the underlying stock and the expected dividend on
it, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the
option.  Certain pro-forma disclosures are required when a Company
uses the "intrinsic value" based method instead of the "fair value"
based method.
    Other pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board with future effective dates are either not
applicable or not material to the consolidated financial statements
of the Company.

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 all claims asserted by TRW 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 a preliminary injunction order, and (ii) the
court's January 26, 1996 award of $7.1 million for attorneys' fees
and recoverable costs relating to this litigation) 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
from April 1995 through April 2001.

Litigation, continued

    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, 
thereby entitling TRW to terminate airbag royalty payments to the
Company under the License Agreement (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 License Agreement.  TRW has filed an
appeal of the judgment to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, on
which oral argument was heard on February 14, 1996.  The Company
anticipates that TRW will also appeal the district court's award of
attorneys' fees and expenses.
    On July 26, 1995 the district court granted a stay of
enforcement of the judgment pending appeal upon the posting by TRW
of a $175 million bond and the continuation of quarterly payments
to the Company in the amount of royalties that otherwise 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 - i.e., prime plus five
percent), offset by the continued quarterly payments made in the
interim as ordered by the court.  TRW has sought and the Court of
Appeals has denied emergency review of the district court's order
requiring the continued quarterly payments pending appeal.  The
denial of emergency relief by the Court of Appeals is without
prejudice to TRW's appeal 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 failed to
properly exploit the 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 early in the spring of 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.

Litigation, continued

    In September 1994, the Arizona Court of Appeals reversed a
1992 Arizona Tax Court ruling that entitled the Company 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 the Company's Petition for Review.  Based
on the appellate court decision, the Company paid approximately
$1.3 million in taxes and interest for the period ending March 31,
1983.  The Company believes the appellate court erred in its
decision; however, the Company held discussions with state 
authorities in an effort to resolve the dispute for the periods
ending on December 31, 1984 and 1985.  The tax and related interest
assessment in dispute is approximately $5.0 million.  If the
Company is unsuccessful in reaching an agreement with the state, it
intends to vigorously litigate these tax and interest assessments. 
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 the Company 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.

Environmental

    A subsidiary of the Company has been named as a potentially
responsible party under the Comprehensive  Environmental  Response
Compensation and Liability Act in connection with the remediation
of the Beacon Heights Landfill in Beacon Falls, Connecticut and the
Laurel Park Landfill in Naugatuck, Connecticut. Management's review
indicates that the Company sent ordinary rubbish and off-
specification plastic parts to these landfills and did not send any
hazardous wastes to either site.
    Two coalitions of potentially responsible parties have entered
into consent decrees with the Environmental Protection Agency to
remediate these sites.  Each coalition has in turn brought an
action against other potentially responsible parties, including a
subsidiary of the Company, to contribute to the cleanup costs.  In
October 1995, the Company settled the Laurel Park matter, including
a payment by the Company that was not material to the results of
operations of the Company.  The federal court hearing the case
has dismissed claims brought against the subsidiary by the Beacon
Heights coalition.  However, the coalition has indicated that it
intends to appeal the court's ruling.  Based upon management's
review and the status of the proceedings, with respect to the

Environmental, continued

Beacon Heights matter, management believes that any reasonably
anticipated losses from this claim will not result in a material
adverse impact on the results of operations or the financial
position of the Company.
    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.  The Georgia
Environmental Protection Division made a determination in 1995 that
the site should be listed on its Hazardous Site Inventory.  No
lawsuit or administrative enforcement proceedings have been
initiated in this matter.  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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Company, in October 1993, completed a major refinancing
program.   This refinancing program included an offering of $185.0
million of debt securities, consisting of $70.0 million gross
proceeds of Senior Discount Debentures due 2005, issued by the
Company to yield 12.25% and $115.0 million of Senior Notes due 
2003, with an interest rate of 10.75%, issued by Talley
Manufacturing and Technology, Inc. ("Talley Manufacturing"). Talley
Manufacturing, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, owns all
of the Company's subsidiaries, except the subsidiaries holding the
Company's real estate operations.  In connection with this
refinancing, Talley Manufacturing obtained a $60.0 million secured
credit facility with institutional lenders.  At December 31, 1995
availability under the facility, based on inventory and receivable
levels, and certain plant and equipment, was approximately $48.0
million, of which $25.0 million was borrowed.
    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 related
debt.  The Company anticipates that the new capital structure will
support the long-term growth of the  Company'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 interest in Talley Manufacturing
and  the  subsidiaries  holding  its real estate operations, the
Company will be dependent primarily upon distributions from those 
subsidiaries in order to meet its debt service and other
obligations.  The Company will be entitled to receive certain
distributions from Talley Manufacturing (absent certain defaults
under Talley Manufacturing's indebtedness) for a period of five
years, to be used to fund certain carrying and other costs
associated with the orderly disposition of the Company's real
estate assets.  The Company 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 the
Company.  During the first half of 1996 the Company will be
required to make an offer to redeem a portion of its 12.25% Senior
Discount Debentures.  The dollar amount of such redemption will be
computed based on the provisions of the Company's indentures and
loan agreement, which amount is estimated to be approximately $10
to $15 million, and is expected to be available under present
credit facilities.
    The cash available to the Company is required to be used for
the specific purposes noted, and because certain debt covenants
limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness,  the
Company 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, the Company
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 the
Company to make cash payments of interest on outstanding
indebtedness until April 15, 1999, the Company believes funds will
be available in sufficient amounts, and at the required times, to
permit the Company to meet its obligations.
    At December 31, 1995, the Company had $10.5 million in cash
and cash equivalents and $95.4 million in working capital.  During
1995 the Company generated $14.5 million of cash flow from
operating activities.  This amount reflects cash generated from
earnings and a reduction of realty assets, offset in part by cash
used due to an increase in accounts receivable of $13.4 million,
and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses totaling
$3.8 million.  Since the Company is engaged in government

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

contracting activities, the  amount of receivables may fluctuate
based on the timing of contract shipments and collections on such
contracts.  Accordingly, the balances of receivables at the end of
1995, 1994 and 1993 reflect this fluctuation.  The increase in
receivables in 1995 also reflects the impact of a significant
increase in sales and related working capital increases from the
Company's steel operations.   The Company used $7.4 million of cash
for investing activities during 1995, which consisted primarily of
$8.9 million in purchases of property and equipment, $.8 million
proceeds from sale of property and equipment and $1.0 million net
reduction of long term receivables.  Cash used in financing
activities of $9.6 million reflects a reduction in debt from cash
generated from operations.  Borrowings and pay downs under
revolving credit facilities are also included in financing
activities.
    The Company has not made any dividend payments on its
preferred and common stock 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 in arrears on
preferred shares totaled $10.3 million at December 31, 1995.
    On February 2, 1996 the Company's Board of Directors approved
a transaction providing for the immediate conversion of all of the
Company's Series D Preferred stock (120,293 shares, convertible
under the original terms on a 10 to 1 basis) into 1,905,849 shares
of Talley Common Stock.  The conversion automatically extinguishes
all unpaid dividends on that stock totaling approximately $2.6
million as of December 31, 1995.  The transaction will not impact
the net earnings of the Company in 1996, but "earnings applicable
to common shares (after deduction of preferred stock dividends)",
as supplementally disclosed by the Company, and the "earnings per
share of common stock and common equivalent share" will be reduced. 
The excess of the fair value of the common shares transferred in
the transaction by the Company to the single shareholder over the
fair value of the common shares issuable pursuant to the original
conversion terms will be subtracted from net earnings in the
calculations of net earnings available to common shareholders and
earnings per share.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation:

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its majority-owned domestic and foreign
subsidiaries.  Real estate joint ventures that are majority owned
and under the control of the Company are also included in the
consolidated accounts of the Company.  All unconsolidated companies
are reflected in the financial statements on the equity basis.  All
material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.  

Nature of Operations:

   Talley Industries, Inc. is a diversified manufacturer of a wide
range of proprietary and other specialized products for defense,
industrial and commercial applications.  Through its Government
Products and Services segment, the Company manufactures an
extensive array of propellant devices and electronic components for
defense systems and commercial applications and provides naval
architectural and marine engineering services.  The vast majority
of the Government Products and Services are for U.S. Defense and
are smaller components of larger units and systems that are
generally designed to enhance safety or improve performance.  The
Company participates in the expanding market for automotive airbags
through a royalty agreement and is currently developing new airbag
technologies.  The Company's Industrial Products segment
manufactures and distributes stainless steel rods and bars and
other stainless steel products, high-voltage ceramic insulators
used in power transmission and distribution systems, and
specialized welding equipment and systems.  The Company's Specialty
Products segment manufactures and sells aerosol insecticides, air
fresheners and sanitizers, and custom designed metal buttons.  The
Company is also engaged in the orderly sale and disposition of the
assets of its real estate operations.  Substantially all of the
Company's facilities are located in and provide sales and services
to the United States and Canada.

Accounting Estimates:

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported
period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

   The Company considers all highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Significant Accounting Policies, (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents, (continued):

Cash equivalents, which consist primarily of commercial paper and
money market funds, are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which
approximates market.

Inventories:

   Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is
determined by the first-in, first-out method for substantially all
commercial inventories.  Costs accumulated under government
contracts are stated at actual cost, net of progress payments, not
in excess of estimated realizable value.

Realty Assets:

   Realty assets consist of those parcels and developments which
are expected to be sold within the operating cycle of the Realty
segment.  Historically, the operating cycle of the Realty segment
has been three to five years.  Realty assets are stated at the
lower of historical cost or estimated net realizable value and
include land held for sale together with related development and
carrying costs (interest and property taxes during development),
and equity investments in realty joint ventures.  For financial
reporting purposes, realty assets must be carried at the lower of
historical cost or estimated net realizable value.  Net realizable
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business less estimated costs of completion (to the stage of
completion assumed in determining the selling price), holding and
disposal.  Net realizable value differs from market value in that,
among other things, market value is based on the price obtainable
in a bulk cash sale at the present time, considers a potential
purchaser's requirement for future profit and discounts the timing
of expected cash receipts at a market rate of interest, whereas net 
realizable value is the price obtainable in the future for
individual properties as improved, net of disposal costs, without
provision for future profit and without discounting future cash
receipts to present value.  The Company accounts for and reports
the value of foreclosed realty assets at fair value less the
estimated costs to sell the assets.
   The Company annually completes a formal review of its real
estate properties.  In connection with these reviews, values of
substantially all properties are established by independent
appraisal firms.  In establishing values, the appraisers consider
comparable sales, absorption rates, area economic conditions,
improvement costs and income potential, among other factors.  When
discounting is appropriate, risk weighted interest rates are used
as determined by the appraisers.  The estimated net realizable
value for each property equals or exceeds its book value.  It is
currently the Company's intention to dispose of these properties in

Realty Assets, (continued):

an orderly process over time.  Accordingly, the lower of historical
cost or estimated net realizable value is the appropriate carrying
value for properties under generally accepted accounting
principles.  If, however, the Company were to change its intention
and any of these properties were sold in bulk at the market values,
the Company could incur a material loss.  Additionally, if market
conditions deteriorate further or continue to remain depressed for
an extended period of time (and as a result the sales do not occur
as estimated in the net realizable value analyses), the Company may
incur material losses.  

Revenue Recognition:

   Sales are generally recorded by the Company when products are
shipped or services performed.  Sales under government contracts
are recorded when the units are shipped and accepted by the
government or as costs are incurred on the percentage-of-completion
method.  Applicable earnings are recorded pro rata based upon total
estimated earnings at completion of the contracts.  Anticipated
future losses on contracts are charged to income when identified. 
Airbag royalties are recognized on an accrual basis, based on
production of airbag units by the licensee and production and sales
of automobiles for airbag units not produced by the licensee.

Property and Depreciation:

   Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and include
expenditures which substantially extend their useful lives. 
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as
incurred.  With the exception of items being depreciated under
composite lives, profit or loss on items retired or otherwise
disposed of is reflected in earnings.  When items being depreciated 
under composite lives are retired or otherwise disposed of,
accumulated depreciation is charged with the asset cost and
credited with any proceeds with no effect on earnings; however,
abnormal dispositions of these assets are reflected in earnings.
   Depreciation of plant and equipment, other than buildings and
improvements on leased land, is computed primarily by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
   Depreciation of buildings on leased land and amortization of
leasehold improvements and equipment are computed on the
straight-line method over the shorter of the terms of the related
leases or the estimated useful lives of the buildings or
improvements.

Significant Accounting Policies, (continued)

Income Taxes:

   Effective January 1, 1992 the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
For Income Taxes".  This pronouncement requires the Company to
recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the
Company's financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method,
deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect in the years in which the differences are expected to
reverse.  United States income taxes are provided on the portion of
earnings remitted or expected to be remitted from foreign
subsidiaries.

Earnings Per Share:

   Net earnings per share of Common stock and Common stock
equivalents has been computed on the basis of the average number of
Common shares outstanding during each year.  The average number of
shares has been adjusted for assumed exercise at the beginning of
the year (or date of grant, if later) for any dilutive stock
options, with funds obtained thereby used to purchase shares of the
Company's Common stock at the average price during the year, and
assumed conversion of all dilutive convertible preferred stock.
Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive are excluded from
the computation of earnings per share and earnings are reduced by
the dividend requirements on such equivalents.

Intangibles:

   The excess cost of investments in subsidiaries over the equity
in net assets at acquisition date is being amortized using the
straight-line method over periods not in excess of 40 years.  The
majority of the Company's intangibles consist of goodwill, which is
the excess of cost over tangible and identifiable intangible assets
acquired.  The carrying value of intangibles is evaluated
periodically in relation to the operating performance and future 
cash flow of the underlying businesses.

Earnings or Loss Applicable to Common Shares:

   Earnings or loss applicable to Common shares is computed by
reducing the net earnings or loss by dividends, including
undeclared or unpaid dividends, of the Company's Preferred A, B and
D stocks.

Long-Term Receivables, (continued)

Committee on Taxation before payment will be received, and
accordingly are classified as non-current.  The remaining notes
range in length from one to fifteen years and bear interest at
December 31, 1995 at rates ranging from 8% to 10%.  Payment terms
vary by note, but generally require monthly, quarterly or annual
interest and principal payments.   The  notes  receivable  balance
is net of reserves of $1,260,000 and $2,358,000 at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively.  

Property, Plant and Equipment

     Property, plant and equipment, is summarized as follows:

     Depreciation of property, plant and equipment was $6,834,000,
$7,735,000, and $8,286,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively.  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 1995 by approximately $1,602,000, and accordingly
increased earnings before income taxes and extraordinary gain by
the same amount.

Long-Term Debt

Long-Term Debt, (continued)

     On October 22, 1993 the Company completed a major debt
refinancing program. The Company received gross proceeds of
$70,000,000 from the issuance of Senior Discount Debentures, due
2005, which were issued to yield 12.25% (face amount of
$126,555,000).  In addition, Talley Manufacturing and Technology,
Inc., ("Talley Manufacturing") a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, which owns all of the Company's subsidiaries (except for
the subsidiaries holding the Company's real estate operations),
issued $115,000,000 of Senior Notes, due 2003, with an interest
rate of 10.75%.  Talley Manufacturing also completed a $60,000,000
secured credit facility with two institutional lenders.  The gross
proceeds of the public offerings, plus an initial borrowing under
the secured credit facility, after payment of underwriting and
other fees and expenses associated with these financings, were used
to repay substantially all of the Company's previously outstanding
non-real estate related debt.
     The indentures for the Senior Notes and the Senior Discount
Debentures and the loan agreement relating to the secured credit
facility contain covenants requiring specified fixed charge
coverage ratios, working capital levels, capital expenditure
limits, net worth levels, cash flow levels and certain other
restrictions including limitations on dividends and other payments
and incurrence of debt.  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, the Company is dependent primarily upon distributions
from these subsidiaries to meet its debt service and other
obligations.  Payments from the subsidiaries are generally limited
by the debt covenants of Talley Manufacturing.
     Substantially all of the receivables, inventory and property,
plant and equipment of Talley Manufacturing and its subsidiaries
are pledged as collateral in connection with the secured credit
facility.  In addition, the subsidiaries of Talley Manufacturing
have guaranteed Talley Manufacturing's obligations under the Senior
Notes and the secured credit facility and the Company has
guaranteed the Senior Notes on a subordinated basis.  The capital
stock of Talley Manufacturing has been pledged by the Company to
secure the Senior Discount Debentures.
     The Senior Notes mature on October 15, 2003 and Talley
Manufacturing is required to make mandatory sinking fund payments
of $11,500,000 on October 15, in each of 2000, 2001 and 2002. 
Interest is payable semi-annually, having commenced April 15, 1994. 
The Senior Discount Debentures mature on October 15, 2005.  No
interest on the Discount  Debentures  will  be payable until April
15, 1999, when interest will be payable semi-annually on April 15
and October 15 of each year.  In the event that certain financial
and other conditions are satisfied, the Discount Debentures require
prepayments based on defined levels of airbag royalties received
and proceeds from real estate sales.

Long-Term Debt, (continued)

     The secured credit facility consists of a five year revolving
credit facility of up to $40,000,000 and  a  five  year $20,000,000 
term loan facility.   At December 31, 1995 availability under the
facility, based on inventory and receivable levels and certain
plant and equipment, was approximately $48,000,000, of which
approximately $25,000,000 was borrowed.  Upon the occurrence of
certain specified events at any time following the third
anniversary of the facility, the agent thereunder may elect to
terminate the facility. The five-year term facility requires
monthly amortization payments based on a seven year amortization
schedule, with the balance due upon expiration in October 1998. 
The credit facility interest rate is prime plus one percent or
LIBOR plus 3-1/4%, with an additional fee of one-quarter of one
percent on unused amounts under the revolving facility.
     Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the years ending
December 31, 1996 through December 31, 2000, are $3,734,000,
$3,094,000, $18,764,000, $0 and $11,500,000, respectively.  Cash
payments for total interest, net of amounts capitalized, during
1995, 1994 and 1993 were $16,132,000, $16,758,000 and $21,675,000,
respectively.  Accrued interest expense at December 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993 was $3,626,000, $11,855,000 and $10,999,000, respectively. 
Deferred debt issue costs at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were
$8,509,000, $9,922,000 and $11,362,000, respectively.  Deferred
debt issue costs are amortized over the life of the respective debt
instruments using the straight line method.  Amortization of debt
expense in 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $1,413,000, $1,413,000 and
$952,000, respectively.  Total capitalized lease obligations on
buildings and equipment included in long-term debt at December 31,
1995 is $338,000, of which $322,000 is due within one year. 

Realty Debt

     Realty debt consists primarily of amounts payable in
connection with properties acquired by the Company's real estate
operations.  The various notes bear interest at rates ranging from
7.6% to 11.5% with maturities ranging from 1996 through 2004.
Payment terms vary by note, but generally require monthly,
quarterly or annual interest and principal payments.  Realty debt
at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was $10,135,000 and $25,139,000,
respectively.  During 1995, the Company recognized $14,409,000 in
extraordinary gains in connection with the settlement of certain
real estate debt for less than book value.  Aggregate maturities of
Realty debt for the years ending December 31, 1996 through 2000 are
$2,153,000, $1,666,000, $694,000, $501,000 and $664,000,
respectively.  Realty debt is collateralized by properties and
notes receivable of the Company's real estate  operations with a
carrying value of approximately $85,463,000.

Stock Options

     At December 31, 1995, under the 1990 and 1978 Stock Option
Plans, 761,000 and  478,000  shares  of Common stock, respectively,
were reserved for sale to officers and employees.  The plans
require incentive stock option prices to be no less than the market 
value of the stock at the date of grant and that all options,
incentive and non-qualified, become exercisable in ten years or
less from the date of grant, as specified in the individual grants.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, no options were granted
under the 1990 Stock Option Plan, but 100,000 options were granted
during 1994 under this plan.  There were 137,000 shares granted
during 1995 under the 1978 Stock Option Plan, but no shares were
granted during 1994 under this plan.  During the year ended
December 31, 1993, 438,000 options were granted under the 1990
Stock Option Plan and 132,000 grants were made under the 1978 Stock
Option Plan.  During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, the only options exercised under either of the two stock
option plans were 2,000 options exercised at a price of $5.375 per
share during 1995 under the 1990 Plan.  Under the 1978 Stock Option
Plan during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, there were 193,000,
12,000 and 63,000 options that expired or were cancelled.    During
1995 there were  no options that were cancelled under the 1990
Plan.  During 1994, there were 8,000 options that were cancelled
under the 1990 Plan. 
     At December 31, 1995, there were 878,000 total options
outstanding at an average price of $5.46, with 672,000 options
exercisable.  At December 31, 1994, 934,000 options were
outstanding at an average price of $5.97 with 844,000 exercisable. 
Common stock reserved for future option grants under the 1978 Plan
amounted to 128,000 and 72,000 shares at December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively.  Common stock reserved for future option grants
under the 1990 Plan amounted to 233,000 and 128,000 at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

Capital Stock

     Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred stock entitles
its holder to receive an annual cash dividend of $1.10 per share;
to convert it into .95 of a share of Common stock, as adjusted in
the event of future dilution; to receive up to $25.00 per share in
the event of involuntary or voluntary liquidation; and, subject to
certain conditions in loan agreements, may be redeemed at the
option of the Company at a price of $25.00 per share plus accrued
and unpaid dividends.
     Each share of Series B $1.00 Cumulative Convertible Preferred
stock entitles its holder to receive an annual cash dividend of
$1.00 per share; to convert it into 1.31 shares of Common stock, as
adjusted in the event of future dilution; to receive up to $20.00
per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends in the event of
involuntary liquidation; to receive up to $52.50 plus accrued and

redeemed at the option of the Company at a price of $52.50 per
share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
     Each share of Common stock has a preferred stock purchase
right attached, allowing the holder, upon the occurrence of a
change in control, as defined in a Rights agreement (as amended and 
restated on February 2, 1996), to buy one one-hundredth of a share 
of Series C Junior Participating Preferred stock at an exercise
price of $32.   The  Series C stock,  which  may  be purchased upon 
exercise of the Rights, is nonredeemable and junior to other series
of the Company's preferred stock.  No shares of Series C stock have
been issued as of December 31, 1995.
     Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred stock entitles
its holder to receive an annual cash dividend of $4.50 per share
($15.75 after February 28, 1998); to convert it into 10 shares of
Common stock, as adjusted in the event of future dilution; to
receive $150 per share ($175 after February 28, 1998) in the event
of involuntary or voluntary liquidation; and subject to certain
conditions in loan agreements, may be redeemed at the option of the
Company at the higher of $150 per share ($175 after February 28,
1998) or the average of the conversion value per share for the last
ten trading days prior to redemption (not to exceed $200 per
share).
     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. 
The Company has not made any dividend payments on its preferred and
common stock since the first quarter of 1991, and the ability to
pay dividends in the future is limited by the provision of the
Company's debt agreements.  Cumulative dividends on preferred 
shares that have not been declared or paid since the first quarter
of 1991 are approximately:  Series A - $350,000 ($5.225 per share),
Series B - $7,354,000 ($4.75 per share) and Series D $2,571,000
($21.375 per share).  The failure to pay the regular quarterly
dividends for the first three quarters of 1992 on the Preferred
stock gave rise at that time to the right of the holders of the
three series to elect two directors to the Company's Board of
Directors.
     At December 31, 1995 there were 5,861,000 shares of Common
stock reserved for conversion of preferred stock, for exercise of
stock options, for issuance of shares under the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan and for the payment of a portion of the purchase
price of a business acquisition completed in 1994.
     On February 2, 1996 the Company's Board of Directors approved
a transaction providing for the immediate conversion of all of the
Company's Series D Preferred stock (120,293 shares) into 1,905,849
shares of Talley Common stock.  The conversion automatically
extinguished all unpaid dividends on that stock.  The transaction
will not impact the net earnings of the Company in 1996, but
"earnings applicable to common shares (after deduction of preferred
stock dividends)," as supplementally disclosed by the Company, and

the "earnings per share of common stock and common equivalent
share" will be reduced.  The excess of the fair value of the common
shares transferred in the transaction by the Company to the single
shareholder over the fair value of the common shares issuable
pursuant to the original conversion terms will be subtracted from
net earnings in the calculations of net earnings available to
common shareholders and earnings per share.  The Series D Preferred 
stock had been held in a voting trust agreement since its issuance
in connection with a 1988 acquisition by the Company.  The Common 
stock will continue to be held in the voting trust, which has been
extended under the agreement until March 2001.

Leases

     Rental expense for continuing operations (reduced by rental
income from subleases of $441,000 in 1995, $329,000 in 1994 and 
$340,000 in 1993) amounted to $4,770,000 in 1995, $5,179,000 in
1994 and $5,622,000 in 1993.   Aggregate future minimum rental 
payments required under operating leases having an initial lease
term in excess of one year for years ending December 31, 1996
through December 31, 2000 are $4,255,000, $3,364,000, $2,908,000,
$1,535,000 and $682,000, respectively, with $1,335,000 payable in
future years.  Minimum operating lease payments have not been
reduced by future minimum sublease rentals of $248,000.
     Aggregate future minimum payments under capital leases for
years ending December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997 are $343,000
and $18,000, respectively, with no payments in later years. 
Minimum capital lease payments have not been reduced by future
minimum sublease rentals of $265,000.  The present value of net
minimum lease payments is $339,000 after deduction of $22,000,
representing interest and estimated executory costs.  The net book
value of leased buildings and equipment under capital leases at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 amounted to $656,000 and $213,000,
respectively.

Employee Benefit Plans

     The Company and its subsidiaries have pension plans covering
a majority of its employees.  Normal retirement age is 65, but
provisions are made for early retirement.  For subsidiaries with
defined benefit plans, benefits are generally based on years of
service and salary levels.  Contributions to the respective defined
contribution plans are based on each participant's annual pay and
age.  The Company also has a retirement plan for its Board of
Directors.  Benefits are payable under the plan after five years of
service upon reaching age 68, or retirement if later.
     Net pension cost in 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $4,132,000,
$4,837,000 and $5,069,000, respectively.

    The provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 87 "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," require the
recognition of an additional liability and related intangible asset
to the extent that accumulated benefits exceed plan assets.  At
December 31, 1995 and 1994 the Company's additional liabilities
were $173,000 and $157,000, respectively.  The Company recorded an
intangible asset in the same amount.  At December 31, 1995 the
Directors' Pension plan was unfunded with a projected benefit
obligation of $897,000 and an additional liability of $201,000. 
The net pension cost for 1995 was $234,000.
    Assumptions used in 1995, 1994 and 1993 to determine the
actuarial present value of plan benefit obligations were:

                                              1995   1994   1993

    Expected rate of return on plan assets    9.0%   9.0%   9.0%

    Net periodic pension cost is determined using the assumptions
as of the beginning of the year.  The funded status is determined
using the assumptions as of the end of the year.  Assets of the
Company's pension plans consist of marketable equity securities,
guaranteed investment contracts and corporate and government debt
securities.  At December 31, 1995 the total value of defined
benefit plan assets exceed total vested benefits by $10,660,000.

Employee Benefit Plans, (continued)

    Effective January 1, 1984, the Company established an employee
stock purchase plan for eligible U.S. employees.  Each eligible
employee who elects to participate may contribute 1% to 5% of his
or her pretax compensation from the Company.  The Company
contributes an amount equal to 50% of the employee contributions. 
Total Company contributions during 1995 and 1994 were $502,000 and
$713,000, respectively.  Any dividends received on the shares held
by the ESOP are reinvested in shares of Company stock.  No
dividends were received during 1995, 1994 or 1993.
    Health care and life insurance benefits are presently provided
to a small number of retired employees of one of the Company's
subsidiaries.  The cost of retiree health care and life insurance
benefits are minor in amount and are recognized as benefits are
paid.  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pension" in the first quarter of 1993, as
required by the pronouncement.  The transition obligation of
approximately $1,474,000 is being amortized over a 20 year period. 
The amortization of the unrecognized transition obligation for the
single subsidiary affected by the new pronouncement was $72,000 in
1995.  Current service costs and interest costs for 1995 were
approximately $10,000 and $99,000, respectively.

    United  States  income taxes  have  not  been  provided  on 
approximately $1,000,000 of undistributed earnings of subsidiaries
incorporated outside the United States, since it is the Company's
intent to reinvest such earnings.  Net cash (payments) refunds for
income taxes during 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $(2,676,000),
$(569,000) and $828,000, respectively.
    At December 31, 1995, the Company had an unrecognized net
operating loss carryforward for financial statement purposes of
approximately $43,000,000.  The Company has no net operating loss
for federal tax purposes.  The Company has alternative minimum tax

credits of approximately $1,484,000, which can be utilized against
regular taxes in the future.
    Pursuant to legislation passed in 1994 in the State of Arizona
regarding the rules for filing consolidated state income tax
returns, the Company reversed $5,600,000 in 1994 of state income
tax accruals to reflect the change in the law.


Commitments and Contingencies

    TRW Claims.  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 all claims asserted by TRW 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
$138,000,000.  The award (which is in addition to (i) royalty
payments of $24,400,000  paid prior to the judgment and during the
pendency of this action pursuant to a preliminary injunction order,
and (ii) the court's January 26, 1996 award of $7,085,000 for
attorneys' fees and recoverable costs relating to this litigation)
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 from April 1995 through April 2001.
    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, 
thereby entitling TRW to terminate airbag royalty payments to the
Company under the License Agreement (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 License Agreement.  TRW has filed an
appeal of the judgment to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, on
which oral argument was heard on February 14, 1996.  The Company
anticipates that TRW will also appeal the district court's award of
attorneys' fees and expenses.
    On July 26, 1995 the district court granted a stay of
enforcement of the judgment pending appeal upon the posting by TRW
of a $175,000,000 bond and the continuation of quarterly payments
to the Company in the amount of royalties that otherwise 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 - i.e., prime plus five
percent), offset by the continued quarterly payments made in the
interim as ordered by the court.  TRW has sought and the Court of
Appeals has denied emergency review of the district court's order

    TRW Claims, (continued)

requiring the continued quarterly payments pending appeal.  The
denial of emergency relief by the Court of Appeals is without
prejudice to TRW's appeal 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 failed to
properly exploit the 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 early in the spring of 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.

    Environmental.  A  subsidiary  of  the Company  has  been
named as a potentially responsible party  under  the  Comprehensive 
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act in connection
with the remediation of the Beacon Heights Landfill in Beacon
Falls, Connecticut and the Laurel Park Landfill in Naugatuck,
Connecticut. Management's review indicates that the Company sent
ordinary rubbish and off-specification plastic parts to these
landfills and did not send any hazardous wastes to either site.
    Two coalitions of potentially responsible parties have entered
into consent decrees with the Environmental Protection Agency to
remediate these sites.  Each coalition has in turn brought an
action against other potentially responsible parties, including a
subsidiary of the Company, to contribute to  the  cleanup  costs. 
In October 1995, the Company settled the Laurel Park matter,
including a payment by the Company that was not material to the
results of operations of the Company.  The  federal  court  hearing
the case has dismissed claims brought against the subsidiary by the
Beacon Heights coalition.  However, the coalition has indicated
that it intends to appeal the court's ruling.  Based upon
management's review and the status of the proceedings, with respect
to the Beacon Heights matter, management believes that any
reasonably anticipated losses from this claim will not result in a
material adverse impact on the results of operations or the
financial position of the Company.
    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.  The Georgia 
Environmental Protection Division made a determination in 1995 that 
the site should be listed on its Hazardous Site Inventory.

No lawsuit or administrative enforcement proceedings have been
initiated in this matter.  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.

    Tax.  The Arizona Department of Revenue issued Notices of
Correction of Income Tax dated March 17, 1986 to the Company for
the fiscal year ending March 31, 1983.  These Notices pertain to
whether subsidiaries of the Company must file separate income tax
returns in Arizona rather than allowing the Company to file on a
consolidated basis.  The amount of  additional  Arizona income tax
alleged to be due as a result of the Notices of Correction was
approximately $400,000 plus interest.  In May 1992 the Arizona  Tax
Court granted judgment in favor of the Company and against the
Department on all claims asserted against the Company.  In October
1992 the Tax Court entered  judgment  in  favor  of  the Company
awarding the Company approximately $600,000 for the Arizona income
taxes the Company overpaid for its fiscal year ending March 31,
1983 together with interest and attorneys' fees.
    In September 1994, the Arizona Court of Appeals reversed the
1992 Arizona Tax Court ruling that entitled the Company 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 the Company's Petition for Review.  Based
on the appellate court decision, the Company paid approximately
$1,300,000 in taxes and interest for the period ending March 31,
1983.  The Company believes the appellate court erred in its
decision; however, the Company held discussions with state 
authorities in an effort to resolve the dispute for the periods
ending on December 31, 1984 and 1985.  The tax and related interest
assessment in dispute is approximately $5,000,000.  If the Company
is unsuccessful in reaching an agreement with the state, it intends
to vigorously litigate these tax and interest assessments. 
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 the Company 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair
values of the Company's financial instruments for which it is

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (continued)

Statement No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments", defines the fair value of a financial instrument as
the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a force or
liquidation sale.

    The following notes summarize the major methods and
assumptions used by the Company in estimating the fair values of
financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents

    The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates
fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

Non-trade receivables

    Interest rates on non-trade receivables, including the current
portion, are generally at current market rates.  Accordingly the
carrying value and fair value of the receivables are equal after
considering allowances for the carrying value of certain notes.

Debt

    The fair value of the Company's realty and other debt,
including the current portion, at December 31, 1995 and 1994 is
based on quoted market prices or, if market prices are not
available, the fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow
analysis based on estimated rates for similar instruments. 

    The Company has the right to receive royalty payments under a
license agreement executed in April, 1989 in connection with the
sale of its airbag operations to TRW.  Under the agreement, the
Company is entitled to receive royalties for the twelve year period
commencing May 1, 1989 and ending April 30, 2001.  The rates at

which these royalties are to be paid are; $1.16 for each airbag
unit manufactured and sold anywhere in the world by TRW and its
subsidiaries  (this amount increases by $.01 per unit on May 1 of 
each year of the royalty term); 75% of the per-unit amount
specified above for each inflator manufactured and sold anywhere in 
the world by TRW and subsidiaries; and $.55 for each airbag unit
supplied by companies other than TRW for use in a vehicle
manufactured or sold in North America.
    The fair value of the royalty stream is dependent upon many
factors, including automobile production, the number of produced
vehicles with airbag systems and the market share of TRW. 
Royalties  recognized  in  the year ending December 31, 1995 were
$23,977,000.  Also see Commitments and Contingencies note.

Research and Development Costs

    Company-sponsored  research  and   development   costs  were
$4,227,000, $4,304,000 and $3,122,000 for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.  For the same periods,
customer-sponsored  research  and  development  expenditures were
$10,093,000, $8,231,000 and $11,620,000, respectively.

Extraordinary Gains (Loss)

    During 1995 the Company realized a net gain of $14,409,000
from the retirement of realty debt.  The gain represents the
difference between the value of the debt recorded on the books of
the Company and the consideration given and costs incurred to
settle the obligation.  Due to the Company's net operating tax loss
position, there is no tax provision in connection with the gain.
    In 1993, as a result of the termination of the interest swap
agreement and  the  payoff  of the underlying debt, the Company
recognized an extraordinary loss of $1,670,000.  Due to the
consolidated tax position  of  the  Company  there  was no tax
benefit recognized in connection with this loss.  The Company does
not presently have, nor has it had, any derivative type instruments
since the aforementioned interest swap agreement terminated in
1993.  Also in 1993, an extraordinary gain of $1,166,000 was
recognized in connection with the transfer of real estate assets to
creditors to settle debt associated with such assets.  The gain
represents the excess of the carrying value of the debt over the
fair value of the properties transferred to the creditor.  Included
in losses from operations is a corresponding charge representing
the book value in excess of the fair value of the properties
transferred.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Acquisitions and Dispositions

    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 $4,800,000, including cash of $2,100,000, 323,232
shares of the Company's Common stock scheduled for issuance two
years after closing and certain liabilities assumed and acquisition
costs incurred.
    The Company sold the net assets of its precision potentiometer
business in July 1993, for a cash purchase price of $2,756,000,
which approximated the book value of the net assets sold.  
    The excess of cost over tangible and identifiable intangible
assets acquired, net of amortization at December 31, 1995, 1994,
and 1993 was $43,392,000, $45,716,000, and $43,696,000,
respectively.

Related Party Transactions

    In each of the last three years the Company and its
subsidiaries incurred legal fees payable to the law firm of one of
the Company's directors.  During 1995, 1994 and 1993 total billings
for the firm were $249,000, $610,000 and $715,000, respectively,
and were for foreign and domestic services relating to litigation
and general corporate matters.  In 1995, the Company also paid
$120,000 in consulting fees to one of the Company's directors. 
Fees were paid to a second law firm in 1993 of $329,000.  A 1993
addition to the Company's board of directors was a partner in such
firm until he retired in June 1993.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

    In October 1994 the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 119
"Disclosure About Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value
of Financial Instruments" effective for the Company at December 31,
1994.  The Company does not presently have nor has it had any
derivative type instruments since mid-1993 when a single interest
rate swap agreement was terminated as described in the notes to the
financial statements.
    In late March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed of," which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995.  The application of this
Statement will require the Company to carry real estate projects
that are substantially complete and ready for their intended use at
the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell.  If the sum of
the expected future net cash flow (undiscounted and without
interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of projects that
are not substantially complete and ready for their intended use, an
impairment loss would be recognized.  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 effect of implementing this new
accounting pronouncement has not yet been quantified.
    In October 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which is effective for
transactions entered into in fiscal years that begin after December
15, 1995.  The Company has employee incentive arrangements wherein
employees receive shares of stock.  When this pronouncement becomes
effective, the Company will be required to account for such
transactions under the "fair value" based method or the "intrinsic
value" based method.  Under the "fair value" based method,
compensation cost is measured at the  grant date, based on the
value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which
is usually the vesting period.  Under the "intrinsic value" based
method, (present accounting), compensation cost is the excess, if
any, of the quoted market price of the stock at grant date or other
measurement date, over the amount an employee must pay to acquire
the stock.  For stock options, fair value is determined using an
option-pricing model that takes into account the stock price at the
grant date, the exercise price, the  expected life of the option,
the volatility of the underlying stock and the expected dividend on
it, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the
option.  Certain pro-forma disclosures are required when a Company
uses the "intrinsic value" based method instead of the "fair value"
based method.
    Other pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board with future effective dates are either not
applicable or not material to the consolidated financial statements
of the Company.

for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 
At December 31, 1995 and 1994 the amount billed but not paid by
customers  under  retainage  provisions in  long-term contracts was
$1,212,000 and $1,075,000, respectively.  The $1,212,000 receivable
under retainage provisions is expected to be collected in 1996
through 2001 in the amounts of $391,000, $38,000, $119,000,
$637,000, $0 and $27,000, respectively.  Amounts in process but
unbilled at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $5,976,000 and

  Airbag Royalties

    The Company participates in the rapidly expanding market for
automotive airbags through its royalty agreement with TRW.  The
Company entered into the Airbag Royalty Agreement as part of the
1989 sale of its automotive airbag manufacturing business.  The
terms of the Airbag Royalty Agreement require TRW to make quarterly
royalty payments to the Company through April 30, 2001 for any
airbag units manufactured and sold worldwide by TRW as well as for
any other airbags installed in vehicles manufactured or sold in
North America. (See Commitments and Contingencies note.)

  Industrial Products

    The Company's Industrial Products segment operates in three
product areas:  stainless steel, high-voltage ceramic insulators
and automated welding equipment.  Demand for these products is
directly related to the level of general economic activity.  
    Through its stainless steel operation, the Company operates a 
mini-mill which converts purchased stainless steel billets into a
variety of sizes of both hot rolled and cold finished bar and rod. 
The  Company's  stainless  steel  mini-mill  has  utilized 
advanced computer automation, strict quality  controls, and strong 
engineering and technical capabilities to maintain its position as
a low cost, high quality producer.  In addition to its stainless
steel manufacturing operation, the Company distributes stainless
steel and other specialty steel products through seven locations in
the U.S. and Canada.  The Industrial Products segment also
manufactures and distributes high-voltage ceramic insulators for
electric utilities, municipalities and other governmental units, as
well as for electrical contractors and original equipment
manufacturers.  Products include a wide array of transformer
bushings and accessories, special and standard porcelain for high
and low-voltage applications, apparatus bushing assemblies, and
transmission and distribution class insulators which are
manufactured for both domestic and international markets.  In
addition, the Company manufactures specialized advanced-technology
welding systems, power supply systems and humidistats for the
utility, pipeline and original equipment manufacturer markets. 
Welding equipment manufactured by the Company includes systems that
are specially designed to operate in hostile environments such as
nuclear radiation.

  Specialty Products 

    The Company's Specialty Products segment is focused on two
distinct markets:  aerosol insecticides, air fresheners and
sanitizers servicing the industrial maintenance supply, pest
control and agricultural markets, and custom designed metal buttons
for the military and commercial uniform and upscale fashion
markets.  The majority of the Company's aerosol insecticides are
proprietary formulations of natural active ingredients.

 Realty

    In 1992, management adopted a plan to dispose of the Company's
real estate operations, reflecting a strategic decision to exit
this business.  The Company's real estate portfolio consists
primarily of undeveloped commercial, industrial and residential
land located in the greater Phoenix, Arizona; San Diego, California
and San Antonio, Texas areas.

 Other Matters

    The Company's U.S. operations had export sales of $20,354,000, 
$15,932,000 and $26,672,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively.
    Substantially all facilities and operations of the Company's 
operations are located within the United States.  The Company
operates a steel distribution system located in Canada with sales
for the year ended December 31, 1995 and total assets at December
31, 1995 of $15,600,000 and $9,600,000, respectively.
    Foreign exchange losses included in earnings for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were not material.  The
foreign currency translation adjustment included in stockholders'
equity decreased from $(723,000) at December 31, 1994 to 
$(530,000)at December 31, 1995.
    Sales between segments are not significant and have been
eliminated.  Operating income is total revenue less operating
expenses and excludes general Corporate expenses, non-segment
interest income and interest expense.  Interest income associated
with segment assets is included in segment operations income. 
Corporate assets consist principally of cash and cash equivalents,
notes receivable, income taxes receivable and a building.  
    The Company's backlog was approximately $503,300,000 as of
December 31, 1995 and $130,900,000 as of December 31, 1994.
Approximately 27.9% of the backlog as of December 31, 1995 is
expected to result in revenue during 1996, with the remaining 72.1%
expected to result in revenue during subsequent periods.  The
backlog amounts as presented herein are composed of funded and
unfunded components.  The government funded components and firm
industrial contracts at December 31, 1995 and 1994 totaled
$133,500,000 and $130,900,000, respectively.
    The term "funded" used herein refers to the aggregate revenue
remaining to be earned at a given time under (a) contracts held by
the Company (excluding renewals or extensions thereof, which are at
the discretion of the customer) to the extent of the funded (i.e.,
appropriated by Congress and allotted to the contract by the
procuring Government agency) amounts thereunder, and (b) "task

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the
index appearing on page F-1 present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Talley Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries
at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits
of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of

evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

Quarterly Financial Results (Unaudited) - continued

       Included in the first quarter of 1995, is a $7,000,000
provision for reserve on realty assets resulting from the decision to
sell a property over the short term in bulk rather than try and pursue
parcel sales over the next several years.  Also, in the first quarter,
the Company recognized a net extraordinary gain of $7,261,000 and an
additional extraordinary gain of $542,000, $6,244,000 and $362,000
during the second, third, and fourth quarters, respectively.  These
extraordinary gains resulted from the settlement of certain realty
debt for less than book value.
       Included in the first quarter of 1994 is a state income tax
benefit of $5,600,000, the result of the passage of favorable state
tax legislation.  Additionally, a provision in 1994 for legal expenses
of $4,500,000 in the first quarter and $1,500,000 in the fourth
quarter was made in connection with litigation with TRW.
       In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recognized an
extraordinary loss of $1,670,000 due to the termination of the 
interest swap agreement and the payoff of the underlying debt.  An
extraordinary gain of $1,166,000 was also recognized in the fourth
quarter in connection with the transfer of real estate assets to
creditors to settle debt associated with such assets.

                       Notes to Financial Statements



The following notes supplement information provided in the notes
accompanying the consolidated financial statements.

1.  Basis of Presentation

      Investments in and advances to affiliates represents interest
in majority-owned subsidiaries and associated companies.  The
investments are accounted for on the equity method and, accordingly,
the carrying value approximates the Company's equity in the recorded
value of the underlying net assets.
      In July 1993, Talley Manufacturing and Technology, Inc.
("Talley Manufacturing"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Talley
Industries, Inc. ("Talley"), was formed.  The formation of Talley
Manufacturing was in anticipation of the offering of Senior Notes by
Talley Manufacturing and Senior Discount Debentures by Talley. 
Concurrently with the issuance of these securities, Talley contributed
the capital stock of its operating subsidiaries (other than its real
estate operations held for orderly sale) to Talley Manufacturing,
which also assumed a substantial portion of Talley's indebtedness and
liabilities.  At the same time, Talley Manufacturing entered into a
new credit facility with certain lenders.  The net proceeds from the
Senior Notes, the Senior Discount Debentures and the new credit
facility were used to repay substantially all of the indebtedness of
Talley and its subsidiaries, (other than real estate related debt)
including indebtedness assumed by Talley Manufacturing.
      Upon completion of the reorganization of entities under the
common control of Talley described above and the new financing, Talley
Manufacturing owns all of the capital stock of the operating
subsidiaries of Talley (other than the real estate operations held for
orderly sale).  The financial statements of Talley have been prepared
for all periods presented, giving effect to the reorganization
described above.


2.  Long-Term Debt

      Long-term debt consists of 12-1/4% of Senior Discount
Debentures, due 2005 with a face value of $126,555,000 and a balance
at December 31, 1995 and 1994 of $90,878,000 and $80,691,000,
respectively.  Deferred debt issue costs at December 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993 were $2,903,000, $3,199,000 and $3,490,000, respectively. 
Deferred debt issue costs are amortized over the life of the
respective debt instruments using the straight line method. 
Amortization of debt expense in 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $296,000,
$296,000 and $62,000, respectively.

                       Notes to Financial Statements



3.  Income Taxes

The parent company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated
federal income tax return.  The provision for income taxes represents
the difference between amounts attributable to each subsidiary,
generally determined on a separate return basis, and the tax computed
on a consolidated basis.


4.  Dividends Received

The parent company received dividends from, or made contributions to 
consolidated subsidiaries, unconsolidated subsidiaries and 50 percent
or less owned persons accounted for by the equity method during the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 of $1,300,000, $-0- and
$2,752,000, respectively.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounts of the Plan are maintained on an accrual basis. 
Assets of the Plan are valued at current value.  Securities are
valued in an active market at the last reported sales price on the
last business day of the year.  Benefits are recorded when paid.


DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following brief description of the Talley Savings Plus Plan is
provided for general information purposes only.  Reference should
be made to the Plan agreement for more complete information.

General       -  Talley Savings Plus is an employee stock purchase
                 plan adopted January 1, 1984 for the employees of
                 Talley Industries, Inc. and Affiliated Companies. 
                 The Plan is classified as a "defined contribution
                 plan", an "individual account plan" and an
                 "employee pension benefit plan" under the Employee
                 Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). 
                 A participant's benefits at any time depend on the
                 amount credited to his individual account and
                 accordingly the Company, the Committee and the
                 Trustee do not guarantee any level of benefits.

Eligibility   -  Employees eligible to participate under the Plan
                 are those who have attained the age of twenty-one
                 (21) years and have completed one (1) "year of
                 continuous service" as defined in the Plan.  
  Employee
Contributions -  Each eligible employee who elects to participate
                 may contribute, out of amounts he or she would
                 otherwise receive in cash, 1% to 5% of his or her
                 pretax compensation from the Company to the Plan's
                 trust fund.

  Employer
Contributions -  For so long as the Plan is in effect, the Company
                 will contribute property having a value equal to
                 50% of employee contributions.  Under the terms of
                 the Plan, the Company may contribute Common stock,
                 Series B $1.00 Cumulative Convertible Preferred

                            TALLEY SAVINGS PLUS
                     THE EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
                                    OF
             TALLEY INDUSTRIES, INC. AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

                                                       


  Employer
Contributions - stock, cash or other property.  The Company made
  (Cont.)       additional contributions to the Plan of .5% of the
                aggregate compensation of those employees who were
                participants in the payroll stock ownership plan
                (PAYSOP) prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1986,
                which repealed the PAYSOP provision in the tax
                code.  In its sole discretion, the Company may
                make a contribution to the Plan in such amount as
                it may determine, from time to time.  Such
                contributions may be made without regard to the
                existence of profits.  The Company's discretionary
                contribution is allocated based on the
                relationship of the Company contribution account
                balances of participants eligible for
                discretionary contribution to Company contribution
                account balances for all participants.  In
                addition, in its sole discretion, the Company may
                make a contribution to the Plan for the purpose of
                paying the interest due on notes payable.  The
                Company contributions for the match of 50% of the
                employee contributions, for the discretionary
                contribution, and for the interest payments were
                $489,897, $12,545 and $ -0-, respectively, in 1995
                and $471,297, $227,997 and $13,607, respectively,
                in 1994.

Investment
 Program      - Amounts contributed at an employee's direction,
                along with all contributions made by the Company
                other than PAYSOP contributions, are invested in
                one fund consisting of shares of Common stock and
                Series B Preferred stock of the Company and a
                money market fund.  PAYSOP contributions are
                invested solely in Common stock of the Company. 
                Investment earnings or losses are allocated
                monthly based on beginning of month balances of
                the respective participant's accounts.  During
                1994, 33,405 unallocated shares, which
                collateralized a note payable, were released and
                allocated to participant accounts as principal
                payments were made on the loan collateralized by
                such shares.  The note payable was paid off in
                1994.

Investment
 Program      - During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
 (Cont.)        the Plan sold  14,900 shares and 60,863 shares,
                respectively, of Common stock for  proceeds of
                $116,214 and $467,708, respectively.  There were
                no sales of securities in 1993.  There were
                distributions of stock to participants, related to
                withdrawals and terminations, valued at $331,191,
                $560,687 and $373,076 for 1995, 1994 and 1993,
                respectively.

Vesting       - Each participant will at all times be fully vested
                as to all amounts credited or allowable to him
                under the participant's own employee contribution
                account and the Company PAYSOP account.  Company
                matching contributions will vest 20% per year of
                service until fully vested;   however,  such 
                contributions  will be fully vested upon
                termination by death, disability or retirement,
                upon attainment of age 65 or upon termination of
                the Plan or complete discontinuance of Company
                matching contributions. Non-vested Company
                contributions will be forfeited upon termination
                of employment with the Company. Amounts allowable
                as forfeitures will be applied to Plan expenses.

Distributions - Upon the death, disability, retirement or other
                separation from employment of a participant,
                distribution of all vested amounts credited to
                such participant will be made in a lump sum.  All
                such distributions will be in cash or Company
                Common stock or Series B Preferred stock at the
                discretion of the Committee, except the
                participant may request that distribution from his
                accounts be made in Common stock or Series B
                Preferred stock of the Company, in which event
                distribution from the accounts will be made in
                such stock.

Expenses     -  Commissions and trustee fees and other
                administrative expenses are paid by the Company to
                the extent not paid by forfeitures.  The Company
                has also contributed amounts to the plan to pay        
                the interest expense on the note payable.

Participants -  At December 31, 1995 there were 826 participants
                in the Plan.


INCOME TAX STATUS

Talley Industries, Inc. has received a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service substantiating that the Plan qualifies under
Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  The Company
restated the plan documents effective January 1, 1994 to comply
with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, subsequent legislation and
applicable regulations.  A request for a new determination letter
on March 1995 is still pending due to IRS backlog.  A plan that
qualifies is exempt from Federal Income Tax, and amounts
contributed are not taxed to the employee until a distribution from
the Plan is received.  If a former employee receives a full
distribution of his or her Plan accounts due to his or her
termination of employment with the Company, he or she will realize
taxable income in an amount by which the value of his or her
distribution exceeds the amount of his or her own undistributed
contributions that have previously been taxed.  Under federal laws
effective beginning in 1993, the Company is required to withhold
20% of each distribution a participant receives unless the
distribution is transferred directly into an IRA or a qualified
plan, or unless the distribution is specifically exempted by the
law.

In addition to the foregoing tax consequences, special rules are
applicable if the distribution to the employee includes shares of
Common stock.  If the employee receives a lump sum distribution of
the entire vested amount of his or her accounts in a single taxable
year due to separation from employment, and the distribution
includes shares of Common stock, the difference between the fair
market value of the stock distributed and its cost to the Trustee
(the "net unrealized appreciation"), if the fair  market value is 
greater than such cost, is not  recognized  for tax purposes at the
time of distribution.  Only the aggregate cost of the distributed

stock to the Trustee is includable in the employee's gross income
at the time of distribution.  When the employee disposes of the
stock in a subsequent sale or taxable transfer, any excess of the
amount realized by such recipient over the costs of such stock to
the Trustee will constitute and be taxed as a capital gain.
