1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Intermet Corporation ("Intermet") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") 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
months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1996.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 1997 (Unaudited)
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist principally of costs in excess of net assets
acquired of $87,593,000 and $88,223,000 (net of accumulated amortization of
$2,467,000 and $1,837,000) at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively. Such costs are being amortized using the straight-line method
over periods ranging from ten to forty years.
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, "Earnings per Share", which is required to be adopted on December 31,
1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method
currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.
Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the
dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. Earnings per share and fully
diluted earnings per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 1997 and March
31, 1996, as calculated pursuant to Statement No. 128, do not differ from the
reported amounts.

3. Environmental and Legal Matters
The Company has entered into a consent order with the Office of the Ohio
Attorney General, which was filed in Ohio State Court, with respect to certain
past violations of Ohio water pollution laws and regulations by the Company's
Ironton, Ohio foundry. The Attorney General's Office advised the Company that
it could avoid litigation with respect to such violations by entering into this
consent order. The consent order decrees that the Company will reimburse the
Attorney General's Office $13,000 in May 1997 for the costs of investigating
this case. The Company will also pay $272,103 in civil penalties in June
1997. These amounts have been fully accrued since 1995.
The Company is also engaged in various legal proceedings and other matters
incidental to its normal business activities.
The Company does not believe any of the above mentioned proceedings or matters
are material in relation to the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
4. Acquisitions and Dispositions
In December, 1996, the Company acquired for cash substantially all of the
outstanding stock of Sudbury, Inc. ("Sudbury") for $182,434,000, including
costs of $5,277,000 directly related to the acquisition. The accompanying
balance sheet includes as a current liability, remaining accrued acquisition
costs of approximately $3,272,000. The transaction has been accounted for as
a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the
assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon their fair values at
the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair
values of tangible net assets acquired was $82,598,000 and has been recorded
as goodwill, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.
Sudbury, Inc. and its subsidiaries manufacture high-quality industrial
products. The products are used primarily in the automotive, appliance and
construction markets providing iron, aluminum and zinc castings; applications
of custom coatings; cranes, truck bodies and related equipment; and precision
machined components.
The following represents the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of
operations for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
assuming the acquisition described above occurred on January 1, 1996 (in
thousands of dollars, except for per share data):

These pro forma results are presented for comparative purposes only. They are
not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisitions
actually transpired on January 1, 1996, or of future results of operations.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Material Changes in Financial Condition
Net cash provided by operating activities is positive for the first quarter of
1997 but is $1.5 million less than the operating cash flow for the same period
in 1996. This difference is due primarily to an increase in accounts
receivable caused by increased sales. The Company's investing activities
include a $34.0 million payment for costs related to the Sudbury acquisition.
Most of the increase in borrowings was used to finance these acquisition costs.
Capital expenditures totaled $7.9 million for the first quarter 1997.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $14.1 million at March 31, 1997 from
$23.5 million at December 31, 1996. The Company declared a cash dividend of
$0.04 per share ($1.0 million in aggregate) for the holders of record on March
1, 1997.
Material Changes in Results of Operations
SALES. Sales in the first quarter of 1997 were $75.3 million (or 56%) higher
than those for the same period in 1996. This increase relates primarily to the
acquisition of Sudbury in late December 1996. Domestic sales during the three
months ended March 31, 1997, without regard to Sudbury, were approximately $3.0
million (or 2%) higher than during the same period in 1996. Sales at most
domestic locations were up from the prior year with the exception of those
impacted by phase-out and model changeover. Sales at Wagner Castings (part of
the December 1996 Sudbury acquisition) for the first quarter of 1997 decreased
approximately $4.0 million from levels for the same period in 1996. This
decrease is a result of Wagner Casting's decision to withdraw from the
malleable iron production business. Sales of domestic truck, sport-utility and
minivan products remained strong in the period, while the passenger car market
remained relatively flat. Columbus Neunkirchen (Germany) sales during the first
quarter of 1997 were up slightly from the same period in 1996, but were
negatively affected by exchange rates, resulting in an 11% decrease in sales
compared to the first quarter of 1996.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased
$7.8 million from the same period in 1996. This improvement, which is due to
the acquisition of Sudbury, was partially offset by decreases in gross profit
at certain other Intermet locations. Gross profit as a percentage of sales
were 13.2% and 14.7% for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. This decrease is due primarily to continued high development
costs at the lost foam aluminum plant and the unbalanced workload at some
domestic foundries. In addition, the Sudbury subsidiaries in the aggregate
generate lower margins than pre-acquisition Intermet subsidiaries as a whole.
9
10
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from 3.8% in the
first quarter 1996 to 3.3% in the first quarter 1997. This decrease occurred
because sales increased with the acquisition of Sudbury without a significant
increase in selling, general and administrative expense.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased to $3.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from $0.8 million for the same period in 1996. This
increase relates primarily to the acquisition of Sudbury.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company has entered into a consent order with the Office of the Ohio
Attorney General, which was filed in Ohio State Court, with respect to certain
past violations of Ohio water pollution laws and regulations by the Company's
Ironton, Ohio foundry. The Attorney General's Office advised the Company that
it could avoid litigation with respect to such violations by entering into this
consent order. The consent order decrees that the Company will reimburse the
Attorney General's Office $13,000 in May 1997 for the costs of investigating
this case. The Company will also pay $272,103 in civil penalties in June
1997. These amounts have been fully accrued since 1995.
