1. The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they 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 of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the three month period
ended April 2, 1995 and March 31, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Registrant Company and Subsidiaries annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

4. In March 1994, the Company entered negotiations with the
Ohio Attorney General s office concerning past violations of Ohio
water pollution laws and regulations. In November 1995, the
Company agreed to pay the State of Ohio $285,000 to settle this
and all other water discharge violations. The Company has
accrued this liability at December 31, 1995 and expects to pay
this in 1996 on entry of a consent decree by the court. In
addition, the Company has submitted a plan to the Ohio EPA to
bring its facility into compliance with all applicable air
emission requirements, after that agency had advised management
of several violations of air pollution regulations. It is not
known whether the agency will eventually demand the payment of
civil penalties for these past violations. However, management
believes that such penalties, if any, will not be material to the
financial condition of the Company.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Material Changes in Financial Condition
- ---------------------------------------
The Company's financial condition has deteriorated since fourth
quarter 1995 due to a much lower sales level. First quarter
sales of $15.3 million is down $4.9 million or (24%) from 1995.
The Company remains dependent on its parent company Intermet
Corporation, for continued financial support.
Material Changes in Results of Operations
- -----------------------------------------
During most of 1995 the Company operated at near capacity.
However, in the first quarter plant operations experienced
reduced sales due to the phase-out of the Ford I-beam program and
generally lower OEM production. The Ford I-beam, a major product
line, began phase-out of production in the fourth quarter 1995 as
a result of a model change. Production requirements for this
product will decline significantly during the last half of 1996.
The Company continues to pursue replacement business.
Gross profit declined from 7.3% in 1995 to 1.4% in the first
quarter of 1996. Corporate charges have declined due to the
lower costs incurred by the parent company. All of the above led
to the Company reporting a 1996 year-to-date loss compared to a
profit in 1995. Cumulative losses since 1988, when the Company
was acquired by Intermet, are approximately $62 million.
There is no income tax provision in 1995 because on a separate
income tax return basis the Company has utilized available net
operating losses to offset any taxes which would be required.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
-----------------
The Registrant has entered into negotiations with the Office
of the Ohio Attorney General with respect to certain past by the
Registrant of Ohio water pollution laws and regulations. The
Attorney General's office has advised the Registrant that it
could avoid litigation with respect to such violations by
entering into a consent order. The parties have tentatively
agreed to a penalty of $285,000 and documentation to effectuate
the settlement is being prepared.
