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
and six month periods ended June 30, 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 June 30, 1996 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 half sales of $32.2 million is down
$8.8 million or (22%) from 1995. Second quarter sales of $16.9 million is down
$3.9 million or 19% 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 half of 1996 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 margin declined from 10.2% in 1995 to 3.2% in the first half 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 or 1996 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 Company has entered into negotiations with the Office of the Ohio
Attorney General with respect to certain past violations by the Company of Ohio
water pollution laws and regulations. The Attorney General's office has

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.
