          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 three-month period ended March
               31, 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 believes it has legitimate defenses to the
               default claim.  While no reasonable estimate of possible
               loss or range of loss can be made at this time, management
               believes that it is unlikely that the ultimate resolution
               of this dispute will have a material effect on future
               results of operations of the company.  In management's
               opinion, the ultimate resolution of this dispute,
               regardless of the outcome, will not have a material effect
               on the financial position of the company.

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

                                Results of Operations
                                ---------------------
          Sales
          -----
          The company's first quarter 1995 consolidated sales were $158.6
          million making it the best quarter in the company's history. 
          Sales were up 12% from the $142.1 million reported in 1994.  This
          increase reflected sales gains by all three operating groups.

          Associated Spring's first quarter 1995 sales improved 11% to
          $74.9 million from $67.6 million in 1994.  Sales improved in all
          markets with the strongest gains reported in industrial markets,
          particularly electronics.

          Bowman Distribution's sales were up 12% to $61.0 million in the
          first three months of 1995 versus $54.3 million in 1994.  All
          businesses reported sales increases with substantial improvement
          reported by Bowman U.S.

          First quarter 1995 Barnes Aerospace sales improved 13% over 1994,
          increasing to $23.0 million from $20.4 million in the prior year. 
          Both the Advanced Fabrications and Precision Machining businesses
          reported year-over-year sales growth while the Repair and
          Overhaul business reported a small decline in sales.

          Operating Income
          ----------------
          Consolidated operating income for 1995's first quarter was $14.5
          million, up 65% over 1994's level of $8.8 million.  All three
          business segments reported significant gains in operating income
          over last year.

          Associated Spring's operating income improvement resulted from
          the increase in sales volume coupled with gains in manufacturing
          productivity and excellent control of selling and administrative
          expenses.

          Bowman Distribution's operating income improvement was the result
          of higher sales volume in the U.S. combined with sharply lower
          selling and administrative expenses.

          Barnes Aerospace's operating income improvement was mainly driven
          by the higher sales volume.

          Non-operating Income/Expense
          ----------------------------
          Other income in the first three months of 1995 increased slightly
          over the prior year due to the increase in interest income
          primarily on funds invested in Brazil.


                                         -8-
<PAGE>





          Other expenses in the first quarter of 1995 were up due to an
          increase in foreign exchange losses.  This increase was offset in
          part by a reduction of the losses recorded on the disposal of
          fixed assets.

          Net Income and Net Income Per Share
          -----------------------------------
          The company reported a record net income of $8.3 million, or
          $1.29 per share, for the first quarter of 1995, compared to
          1994's first quarter of $4.9 million, or 78 cents per share.


                                 Financial Condition
                                 -------------------
          Cash Flows
          ----------
          Net cash used by operating activities of $0.8 million in the
          first quarter of 1995 reflects the significant increase in
          business activity.  Cash generated from strong earnings after
          adjustments for depreciation and amortization was offset by the
          cash required to fund increases in accounts receivable and
          inventories.  In 1994, operating activities used $1.4 million of
          cash, as earnings were not sufficient to offset the increase in
          accounts receivable.

          Net cash used by investing activities in the first quarter of
          1995 was $0.8 million higher than the prior year due to increased
          capital expenditures as well as lower proceeds from the sale of
          property, plant and equipment.

          Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.8 million in the
          first quarter of 1995 and $3.5 million the first quarter of 1994.
          The increase in notes payable partially funded the cash
          requirements for both operating and investing activities.  The
          1995 increase in the proceeds from the issuance of common stock
          was a result of the exercise of stock options.

          Liquidity and Capital Resources
          -------------------------------
          The company's liquidity, measured in terms of working capital,
          increased $8.2 million to $96.6 million at March 31, 1995 from
          the December 31, 1994 level.  The current ratio approximated 2.0
          at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994.

          The ratio of interest bearing debt to total capitalization
          approximated 29% at March 31, 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.


                                         -9-
<PAGE>




          The company maintains substantial bank borrowing facilities to
          supplement internal cash generation.  At March 31, 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 $31.5 million
          was in use at March 31, 1995.  During 1995 and 1994, the company
          maintained long-term debt of $70 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.

          Item 5.  Other Information
                   -----------------

                   By-Laws Amendments

                   In November, 1994, the Board of Directors amended the
                   company's By-Laws to include advance notice provisions
                   regarding stockholder proposals and nominations for
                   directors.  Stockholders wishing to present proposals
                   for a formal vote (other than proposals included in the
                   company's proxy statement) or to nominate candidates for
                   election as directors at a meeting of the company's
                   stockholders, must do so in accordance with the
                   company's By-Laws.  The By-Laws provide, in general,
                   that in order to be presented at the stockholder's
                   meeting, such stockholder proposals or nominations may
                   be made only by a stockholder of record who shall have
                   given notice of the proposed business or nomination to
                   the company:
