NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------------------------------

1. Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the three months ended September 30, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending June 30, 1996. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The June 30, 1995 condensed balance sheet data was
derived from audited financial statements, but does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles.

2. Earnings Per Common Share
-------------------------
Primary earnings per common share are computed by
dividing net income (less preferred dividends net of tax
benefits) by the weighted average number of common shares
and common share equivalents outstanding during the period.
On a fully-diluted basis, both net earnings and shares
outstanding are adjusted to assume the conversion of the
convertible preferred stock.

3. Inventories

The current cost of LIFO-valued inventories was $241.8
million at September 30, 1995 and $219.7 million at June 30,
1995.
4.  Two-For-One Common Stock Split
------------------------------
On August 10, 1995, the Board of Directors of the
Company declared a two-for-one common stock split which was
distributed on September 15, 1995, to shareholders of record
on September 1, 1995. The par value of common shares
remained at $5 per share. All share and per share data for
the prior year have been restated for the effect of this
two-for-one common stock split. The Board also declared a
ten percent increase in the common stock dividend, effective
with the quarterly dividend to shareholders of record on
August 22, 1995.

5. Subsequent Events
-----------------
On October 26, 1995, the Company purchased all of the
stock of Parmatech Corporation in exchange for $4.5 million
of Company stock and assumed $2.7 million of Parmatech's debt.
An additional $1.5 million of Company stock will be paid if
certain future performance is achieved. Parmatech manufactures
complex, net or near-net shape parts from a powder metal slurry
using an injection molding process. Parmatech had sales of
$6.5 million in calendar year 1994.

On November 9, 1995, the Company acquired Green Bay Supply
Co., Inc. for approximately $11 million. Green Bay is a master
distributor that purchases specialty metal products globally and
resells them to independent distributors in the United States.
Green Bay was profitable on sales of $16 million in calendar year
1994.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------

Net income for the quarter was $11.9 million or $.70 per share versus
$4.9 million or $.28 per share in the same quarter last year. The
increase in earnings was primarily a result of improved sales volume
and profit margins in the Steel Division.

Sales were $184.5 million, an 18 percent increase over the $156.1
million in the same period last year. The increase in sales was primarily
the result of selling price increases for steel products to recover higher
raw material and other costs and to restore profit margins which had eroded
in prior years. In addition, Steel Division unit volume shipments were up
by 6 percent compared to the year earlier period.

Cost of sales as a percent of net sales decreased to 74 percent in the
current year's first fiscal quarter from 78 percent in the last year's first
quarter. This improvement was primarily the result of the selling price
increases and a higher plant utilization rate in the Steel Division.

Interest costs increased by $1.9 million versus the same period last
year. The increase was the result of higher debt levels during the
September 1995 quarter and a lower level of capitalized interest. The
September 1994 quarter included $1.0 million of capitalized interest
related to the investment in Walsin-CarTech Specialty Steel Corporation, a
joint venture with Walsin Lihwa Corporation, during its pre-operating period
which ended in December 1994.
