Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA
The Company's precious metal inventories, consisting principally of gold and
silver, is readily convertible to cash. Furthermore, these precious metal
inventories which are stated in the Balance Sheet at LIFO cost have a market
value of $148,014,000 in excess of such cost as of March 31, 1995.
It is the Company's policy to obtain funds necessary to finance inventories
and receivables from various banks under commercial credit facilities.
Fluctuations in the market prices of gold and silver have a direct effect on
the dollar volume of sales and the corresponding amount of customer receivables
resulting from sale of precious metal products. In addition, receivables
resulting from the sale of precious metal bullion for future delivery are also
financed by bank borrowings. The Company adjusts the level of its credit
facilities from time to time in accordance with its borrowing needs for
receivables and inventories and maintains bank credit facilities well in excess
of anticipated requirements.
Consistent with other precious metal refining and fabricating companies,
some of the Company's gold and silver requirements are furnished by customers
and suppliers on a consignment basis. Title to the consigned gold and silver
remains with the Consignor. The value of consigned gold and silver held by the
Company is not included in the Company's Balance Sheet. The Company's gold and
silver requirements are provided from a combination of owned inventories,
precious metals which have been purchased and sold for future delivery, and
gold and silver received from suppliers and customers on a consignment basis.
In the third quarter of 1992 the Company completed arrangements with four
institutional lenders for $50,000,000 of long-term borrowings at a rate of
8.83% maturing in 2002. The proceeds were used to reduce portions of other
long-term debt.

During the third quarter of 1994, the Company finalized $215,000,000 of
Revolving Credit Facilities with twenty banks which replaced the existing
Credit Facilities dated March 16, 1992. These Credit Facilities provided
$161,250,000 for a three year period and $53,750,000 for 364 days. As of March
31, 1995, $80,000,000 was borrowed under the long-term agreement and there were
no borrowings under the short-term agreement. In addition to the Revolving
Credit Facilities, the banks also provided $250,750,000 of Gold and Silver Fee
Consignment Facilities. The Fee Consignment Facility of $125,375,000 is for a
three-year period and the short- term Fee Consignment Facility of $125,375,000
is for 364 days. All gold and silver consigned to the Company pursuant to
these Consignment Agreements will be located at the Company's plants in
Fairfield, Connecticut and East Providence, Rhode Island. As of March 31,
1995, 111,000 ounces of gold and 14,999,000 ounces of silver were leased under
this fee consignment facility. As a result of this fee consignment facility
the Company was able to realize $53,087,000 of futures receivables on sales of
precious metals for future delivery and increase futures payable for purchases
of precious metals for future receipt by approximately $17,345,000. This
enabled the Company to reduce its bank borrowings.
CASH USED IN OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used by operating activities amounted to $3,656,000 in 1995 and
$4,719,000 in 1994. The cash used by operating activities decreased $1,063,000
primarily due to an increase of $1,754,000 in net income after adjustment for
non cash income and expense items which was partially offset by an increase in
working capital requirements amounting to $640,000.
-7-
9
CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used by investing activities amounted to $7,052,000 in 1995 and
$3,439,000 in 1994. The increase of $3,613,000 in investing activities was
primarily due to the new tubing facility in Denmark and also the expansion of
production capacity in our precision electroplating companies and specialty
wire company in Great Britain.
CASH PROVIDED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $12,827,000 in 1995
and $7,461,000 in 1994. The net cash provided by financing in the first
quarter of 1995 was due to an increase in debt of $34,100,000, partially offset
by the payment of futures payable (the purchase of precious metal inventory for
future receipt) of $20,427,000 and the payment of dividends of $846,000. The
comparable period for 1994 provided cash by an increase in debt of $6,022,000
and an increase in net futures payable of $2,140,000, partially offset by the
payment of dividends of $701,000.
The Company's foreign operations consist of six wholly owned subsidiaries,
(one in Canada, three in the United Kingdom, one in Denmark and one in Mexico),
and two equity investments, (one in Asia and one in Brazil). Substantially all
unremitted earnings of such entities are free from legal or contractual
restrictions.
The Company's program to expand productive capacity through acquisition of
new businesses and expenditures for new property, plant and equipment will
continue to be financed with internally generated funds and long-term debt, if
necessary.

COMPARISON OF FIRST QUARTER OF 1995 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER OF 1994
Sales for the precious metal segment increased $3,071,000 (3%). The
increase in sales was partially offset by sales of refining outturn, primarily
in kilo bar and grain form, which decreased from $33,427,000 in 1994 to
$30,262,000 in 1995. This type of precious metal sales can fluctuate
significantly from period to period, however, the profit contribution effect
for such fluctuation is minor since the profit margin on these sales is less
than the margins on other products in this segment. The average price for gold
was $379.24 per ounce and the average price for silver was $4.70 per ounce
representing decreases of 1.4% and 11%, respectively, from the prior year. The
profit contribution (pre-tax income before deducting interest and Corporate
expenses) increased $3,678,000 (115%) primarily due to strong sales and
operating profits of our precision electroplating companies partially offset by
competitive pricing pressures for fabricated products. Management continues to
focus on improving the profit contribution from this segment by the current
expansion of production capacity at its precision electroplating companies and
by rationalizing other facilities where necessary. Refinery earnings continue
to be subject to precious metal price fluctuations as well as its ability to
generate foreign earnings.
The automotive (OEM) segment sales decreased $795,000 (2%) and the profit
contribution decreased $2,521,000 (55%) due to additional expenses relating to
facility expansion and realignment to match changing volume requirements.
Earnings for this segment during the first half of 1995 are not anticipated to
be at the same level as the prior year's comparable period.
-9-
11
Sales for the wire/tubing segment increased $6,810,000 (18%) due to the
improved economy, both domestic and European, and the increased capacity of the
wire and tubing companies. The profit contribution increased $2,035,000 (58%)
due to the increased sales as well as reduced product costs stemming from
improved manufacturing performance and reduced raw material cost. Partially
offsetting this favorable performance of this segment was the start-up costs of
the new tubing facility in Denmark which is expected to make a positive
contribution to earnings in the latter part of this year.
In the other non-precious metal segment, sales increased $453,000 (13%).
Profit contribution increased by $71,000 (17%) due to the increased level of
sales.
Interest expense increased $1,778,000 (49%) primarily due to higher interest
rates on borrowings and leased metal.
The Company's income taxes are primarily composed of U.S. Federal and state
income taxes. The higher effective income tax rate for 1995 over 1994 is
attributable to goodwill amortization associated with the acquisition of Sumco
in September 1994.
