          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements:



          1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
               ------------------------------------------

               The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
               statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
               accepted accounting principles for interim financial
               information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
               10-01 of Regulation S-X.  They do not include all
               information and footnotes required by generally accepted
               accounting principles for complete financial statements. 
               For additional information, please refer to the
               consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in
               the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
               December 31, 1994.  In the opinion of management, all
               adjustments, including normal recurring accruals considered
               necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. 
               Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30,
               1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
               be expected for the year ending December 31, 1995.



          2.   Contingency
               -----------

               In December, 1991, the company was notified by the
               McDonnell Douglas Corporation that McDonnell Douglas was
               terminating for default an $8.2 million contract with the
               company's Advanced Fabrication unit.  In 1992, the company
               wrote off $4.0 million of net assets related to this
               contract previously included in its financial statements. 
               The company believed from the onset that it had legitimate
               defenses to the default claim.  In June 1995, this dispute
               was settled to the satisfaction of both parties with no
               further financial impact on the results of operations or on
               the financial position of the company.

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

                                Results of Operations
                                ---------------------

          Sales
          -----

          The company's 1995 first half sales were $309.6 million, up 9%
          from $285.3 million in 1994.  Second quarter 1995 sales were up
          5% to $151.0 million from the 1994 level of $143.2 million.  The
          increase reflects sales gains at all three operating groups.

          Associated Spring's 1995 first half sales increased 7% to $147.3
          million from $137.3 million in 1994.  Second quarter sales were
          $72.4 million, up 4% from a year ago.  The North American
          manufacturing business was affected by a softening of the U.S.
          automotive market and work slowdowns caused by the slow progress
          in contract negotiations at several plants represented by the
          UAW. These factors were offset by very strong performances by the
          group's overseas manufacturing operations and the Raymond
          Distribution division.

          Bowman Distribution's 1995 first half sales were $116.6 million
          up 7% from the 1994 level of $108.9 million.  Second quarter 1995
          sales increased 2% to $55.6 million versus $54.6 million in 1994.
          All business units reported period-over-period sales improvements
          with the exception of Bowman U.S. whose sales were slightly lower
          in the second quarter of 1995 compared with 1994's second
          quarter.  The sales decline was caused by a number of factors
          including softening demand in several key market segments and
          lower than planned employment levels in its field sales
          organization.  Bowman U.S. is the group's largest business unit.

          Barnes Aerospace's 1995 first half sales climbed 18% to $46.2
          million from 1994's first half sales of $39.3 million.  Second
          quarter 1995 sales of $23.2 million increased 23% over 1994's
          second quarter sales of $18.8 million.  All units reported
          period-over-period improvements with the strongest gains made in
          the Advanced Fabrications and Repair and Overhaul businesses.

          Operating Income
          ----------------

          Operating income in 1995 improved significantly over strong 1994
          results.  Consolidated operating income for the first half of
          1995 was up 52% to $28.0 million from the $18.4 million reported
          in the first half of 1994.  Second quarter 1995 operating income
          of $13.4 million was 39% higher than the $9.6 million reported in
          1994's second quarter.


                                         -8-
<PAGE>










          Associated Spring's operating income in the second quarter and
          first half of 1995 kept pace with its sales growth as a small
          increase in the gross margin offset an increase in selling and
          administrative expenses as a percent of sales.

          Bowman Distribution's second quarter and first half operating
          income improved substantially in 1995 over 1994 as a result of
          higher sales volume and significantly lower selling and
          administrative costs expressed as a percentage of sales.

          Barnes Aerospace's operating results improved significantly for
          both the second quarter and first half of 1995 over the
          comparable 1994 periods as higher sales volumes and lower costs
          expressed as a percent of sales resulted in strong year-over-year
          profit growth.

          Non-operating Income/Expense
          ----------------------------

          Other income for the first half of 1995 was up slightly over the
          prior year due primarily to an increase in interest income on
          funds invested in Brazil.

          Interest expense for the first six months of 1995 was somewhat
          higher than in the comparable 1994 period due to higher interest
          rates offset in part by lower debt levels.

          Other expenses increased in 1995 over 1994 primarily due to
          foreign exchange and translation losses.


                                 Financial Condition
                                 -------------------

          Cash Flows
          ----------

          In the first half of 1995, net cash flows provided by operating
          activities was $11.4 million.  Strong earnings, adjusted for
          depreciation and amortization and an increase in deferred income
          taxes, more than offset the increase in accounts receivable and
          inventories and a decrease in accrued liabilities.  The changes
          in operating assets and liabilities are a result of the increase
          in 1995's first half business activity.  In 1994, operating
          activities provided $14.2 million of net cash flows.  Earnings,
          adjusted for depreciation and amortization and an increase in
          accounts payable, more than offset the increase in accounts
          receivable.  The increase in accounts receivable resulted
          from sales growth during the first half 1994.





                                         -9-
<PAGE>













          Net cash used by investing activities for the first six months of
          1995 was $16.6 million compared to $14.8 million in 1994's first
          half.  Expenditures for property, plant and equipment increased
          $1.3 million or 8% period-over-period as the three operating
          groups continued to invest in new equipment to improve
          productivity, quality and customer service.

          In 1995, net cash used by financing activities was $1.6 million
          versus $5.6 million in the first half of 1994.  This year-over-
          year decrease was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of
          common stock increasing to $5.2 million in 1995 from $1.5 million
          in 1994 because of an increase in the exercise of stock options.
          The 1995 increase in dividends paid over the 1994 amount was due
          to increases in both the dividend per share and number of shares
          outstanding.


          Liquidity and Capital Resources
          -------------------------------

          The company's liquidity, measured in terms of working capital,
          increased $15.5 million to $103.8 million at June 30, 1995 from
          the December 31, 1994 level.  The current ratio was a very strong
          2.3 at June 30, 1995 compared with 2.0 at December 31, 1994.

          The ratio of interest bearing debt to total capitalization
          approximated 26% at June 30, 1995 compared to 28% at year-end
          1994.  For this purpose, total capitalization is defined as total
          interest-bearing debt, plus accrued long-term retirement
          benefits, other long-term liabilities and stockholders' equity,
          excluding the guaranteed ESOP obligation.

          The company maintains substantial bank borrowing facilities to
          supplement internal cash generation.  At June 30, 1995, the
          company had $100.0 million of borrowing capacity available under
          its revolving credit agreement.  In addition, the company had
          approximately $155.0 million in uncommitted short-term bank
          credit lines, of which $29.0 million was in use at June 30, 1995.
          During 1995 and 1994, the company maintained long-term debt of
          $70.0 million, comprised, in part, of borrowings under its short-
          term bank credit lines backed by its long-term revolving credit
          agreement.  The company has found this to be a cost effective
          approach to long-term financing and intends to continue this
          approach.  The company believes these credit facilities coupled
          with cash generated from operations are adequate for its
          anticipated future requirements.
