                         SELAS CORPORATION OF AMERICA

                        PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated condensed
     financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
     recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly Selas Corporation of
     America's consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2001 and
     December 31, 2000, and the consolidated results of its operations for
     the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 and consolidated
     statements of shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three months
     then ended.

2.   The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in note 1
     to the Company's financial statements in the 2000 Selas Corporation of
     America Annual Report.

3.   Acquisitions

     In January, 2001, the Company acquired the stock of Lectret, a Singapore
     manufacturer of microphone capsules.  The purchase price was
     approximately $1.1 million with provision for contingent consideration
     that could increase the total purchase price to approximately $1.7
     million.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.

4.   Inventories consist of the following:


                                                March 31,    December 31,
                                                  2001          2000

     Raw material                             $ 4,061,053    $ 3,738,194
     Work-in-process                            6,532,945      5,214,538
     Finished products and components           4,986,026      4,855,904

                                              $15,580,024    $13,808,636

5.  Income Taxes

    Consolidated income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and
    2000 are $287,000 and $800,000 which result in effective tax rates of 49%
    and 40%, respectively.  The rate of tax in relation to pre-tax income in
    2001 is high because tax benefits from certain foreign net operating
    losses could not be utilized for income tax purposes.

6.  Legal Proceedings

    The Company is a defendant along with a number of other parties in
    approximately 100 lawsuits as of December 31, 2000 (approximately 200 as
    of December 31, 1999) alleging that plaintiffs have or may have
    contracted asbestos-related diseases as a result of exposure to asbestos
    products or equipment containing asbestos sold by one or more named
    defendants.  Due to the noninformative nature of the complaints, the
    Company does not know whether any of the complaints state valid claims
    against the Company.  The lead insurance carrier has informed the Company
    that the primary policy for the period July 1, 1972 , July 1, 1975 has
    been exhausted and that the lead carrier will no longer provide a defense
    under that policy.  The Company has requested that the lead carrier
    substantiate this situation.  The Company has contacted representatives
    of the Companys excess insurance carrier for some or all of this
    period.  The Company does not believe that the asserted exhaustion of the
    primary insurance coverage for this period will have a material adverse
    effect on the financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations of
    the Company.  Management is of the opinion that the number of insurance
    carriers involved in the defense of the suits and the significant number
    of policy years and policy limits to which these insurance carriers are
    insuring the Company make the ultimate disposition of these lawsuits not
    material to the Companys consolidated financial position or results of
    operations.

    The Company is also involved in other lawsuits arising in the normal
    course of business.  While it is not possible to predict with certainty
    the outcome of these matters, management is of the opinion that the
    disposition of these lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the
    Companys consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of
    operations.

    receivable due from the major U.S. automotive manufacturers and
    $6,123,059 of trade accounts receivable due from hearing health
    manufacturers.  The Company also had $9,416,426 in receivables from

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

    The Company is exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates and
    fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company has only limited
    involvement with derivative financial instruments and does not use them
    for trading purposes. They are used to manage well-defined interest rate
    and foreign currency risks.

    Interest rate swap agreements are used to reduce the potential impact of
    increases in interest rates on floating rate long-term debt. At January 1,
    2001, the Company's French subsidiary was party to one interest rate swap
    agreement. The interest rate swap agreement is with a major European
    financial institution and has a total notional amount of $1.2 million at
    January 1, 2001. The notional amount will decrease consistent with the
    terms of the related long-term debt agreement. The swap agreement requires
    fixed interest payments based on an effective rate of 8.55% for the
    remaining term through May, 2006. The subsidiary continually monitors its
    position and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not
    anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.

    The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement was $1.1 million at
    January 1, 2001. The fair value of this financial instrument represents
    the aggregate replacement cost based on financial institution quotes.

    Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement
    of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.133 and No.138 "Accounting for
    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Changes in the fair value
    of interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variability
    of cash flows associated with floating rate, long-term debt obligations are
    reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss). These amounts are
    subsequently reclassed into interest expense as a yield adjustment in the
    same period in which the related interest on the floating-rate debt
    obligations affect earnings.

    During the three months ended March 31, 2001, approximately $4,220 of gains
    related to the interest rate swap have been reclassified into interest
    expense as a yield adjustment of the hedged debt obligation. As of March 31,
    2001, $44,923 has been included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss),
    net of taxes of $24,190, which represents the fair market value of the
    interest rate swap on the long term debt obligation. Management is of the
    opinion that the impact of the adoption of the provision is not material
    to the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

    As of March 31, 2001, the Company has no outstanding foreign currency
    exchange contracts.


                        PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations
Consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001 decreased to
$28.4 million from $30.5 million for the same period in 2000.  Net sales for
the heat technology segment decreased to $13.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 compared to $15.8 million for the same period last
year.  The decrease in sales is due to a delay in the receipt of orders to be
booked, partially offset by the inclusion of Nippon Selas revenue in the
current period.  The remaining equity investment in Nippon Selas was acquired
in June, 2000. Sales and earnings of large engineered contracts are recognized
on the percentage-of-completion method and generally require more than twelve
months to complete.  Consolidated backlog for the heat technology segment
decreased to $25.5 million at March 31, 2001 compared to $39.6 million at the
same time last year.  Sales for the Company's precision miniature medical and
electronic products segment increased to $11.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 compared to $9.5 million for the comparable period in
2000.  Most of the growth in this segment resulted from increased revenue
from medical infusion and hearing health system part shipments, along with
the inclusion of the sales of Lectret, a Singapore manufacturer of microphone
capsules acquired in January, 2001.  Partially offsetting this increase was
reduced sales of hearing health component parts and a downturn in demand for
thermistor and capacitor parts by the Company's electronics industry
customers.  Net sales of the tire holders, lifts and related products segment
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 decreased to $3.3 million from $5.2
million for the same period in 2000.  The decline in revenue is due to the
drop-off in demand for tire lifts by the Company's automotive customers,
reflecting the slump in that industry and the loss of a contract at the
beginning of the year to supply tire lifts for one of its customer's new
models.

The Company's gross profit margin as a percentage-of-sales decreased to 20.1%
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to 23.2% for the same
period last year.  Gross profit margins for the heat technology segment
decreased to 15.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to
18.6% for the comparable period in 2000.  Heat technology gross profit
margins vary markedly from contract to contract, depending on customer
specifications and other conditions related to the project.  The gross profit
margins for the first quarter of 2001 were impacted by revenue recognized on
several large engineered contracts whose margins were not as profitable as
contracts completed in 2000, partially offset by the inclusion in 2001 of
Nippon Selas sales, which typically have higher margins on their products.
Gross profit margins for the precision miniature medical and electronics
products segment decreased to 28.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2001
compared to 31.5% for the same period in 2000.  The lower margins in the
current quarter are attributable to the mix of product sales between the
periods as hearing health component parts, whose sales have decreased in
2001, have higher profit margins compared to the segment's other products,
whose revenue have been increasing.  Gross profit margins for the tire
holders, lifts and related products segment declined to 10.8% for the first
quarter of 2001 compared to 22.2% for the comparable period in 2000.  The
decrease in the current year is due to the loss of efficiencies from lower
production resulting from the weakness in sales of tire lifts.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 3.7% to
$4,961,000 for the first quarter 2001 compared to $4,783,000 for the same
period in 2000.  The higher SG&A costs are due primarily to the acquisitions
in January, 2001 of Lectret, the Singapore microphone capsule manufacturer
and the inclusion of Nippon Selas results for the current quarter.  The
remaining equity investment in Nippon Selas was acquired in June, 2000.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2001 increased to
$302,000 compared to $268,000 for the same period in 2000.  The increase is
due to higher average borrowings during the current quarter.  Interest income
for the first three months of 2001 decreased to $11,000 from $16,000 for the
same period in 2000 due to less funds available for investment.

Other income (expense) includes gains on foreign exchange of $118,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to losses on exchange of $98,000 for
the same period in 2000.

Consolidated income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
are $287,000 and $800,000 which result in effective tax rates of 49% and 40%,
respectively.  The rate of tax in relation to pre-tax income in 2001 is high
because tax benefits from certain foreign net operating losses could not be
utilized for income tax purposes.

Consolidated net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001 decreased
to $298,000 from income of $1,201,000 for the comparable period in 2000.  The
decline in profitability is due to lower sales and gross profit margins on
certain contracts and other products and higher SG&A expenses resulting from
the acquisitions of Lectret and Nippon Selas, partially offset by gains on
foreign exchange in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Consolidated net working capital increased to $16.5 million at March 31, 2001
compared to $15.7 million at December 31, 2000.  The increase is primarily
due to the net income for the quarter and borrowings to acquire subsidiary
companies, offset by purchases of property and equipment, pay-down of
long-term debt and payment of dividends.  The major changes in components of
working capital for the quarter were an increase in cash and cash equivalents
of $1.6 million, lower accounts receivable of $5.5 million, higher
inventories of $1.8 million and lower notes payable of $2.7 million.  These
changes relate mainly to the ongoing operations of the Company, and to a
lesser extent, the acquisition of Lectret in January, 2001.

During the first quarter of 1999, the Company implemented a program to
repurchase up to 250,000 shares of its common stock, which at the time
represented approximately 5% of its total shares outstanding.  The shares
have been purchased from time to time on the open market.  As of March 31,
2001, the Company has repurchased a total of 152,190 shares of its common
stock.

The Company believes that its present working capital position, combined with
funds expected to be generated from operations and the available borrowing
capacity through its revolving credit loan facilities, will be sufficient to
meet its anticipated cash requirements for operating needs and capital
expenditures for 2001.
