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 and six
months ended June 30, 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.

Construction in progress.................................... 36,773 7,982
-------- --------
$442,173 $436,704
======== ========

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist principally of costs in excess of net assets
acquired of $86,963,000 and $88,223,000 (net of accumulated amortization of
$3,097,000 and $1,837,000) at June 30, 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 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

6

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

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 three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30,
1996, as calculated pursuant to Statement No. 128, do not differ materially from
the reported amounts.

2. DEBT

3. ENVIRONMENTAL AND LEGAL MATTERS

The Company has initiated corrective action and/or preventative
environmental projects to ensure the safe and lawful operation of its
facilities. There could exist, however, more extensive or unknown environmental
situations at existing or previously owned businesses for which the future cost
is not known or exceeds amounts accrued at June 30, 1997.

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 these above-mentioned proceedings or matters will have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

In May 1997, the Company purchased all of Ford Motor Company's interest in
New River Castings Company's ("New River") outstanding preferred stock for
$500,000. Intermet now owns 100% of the New River facility.

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 $1,306,000. 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 and its
subsidiaries manufacture high-quality castings and 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.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS (CONTINUED)

The following represents the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of
operations for the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996,
assuming the acquisition described above occurred on January 1, 1996 (in
thousands of dollars, except for per share data):

Net sales................................................... $220,978 $430,335
Net income.................................................. 13,709 23,199
Income per common share..................................... $0.54 $0.91

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.

5. INVESTMENT IN IWESA GMBH

During the second quarter of 1997, the Company's ownership of the common
stock of IWESA GmbH ("IWESA") increased from 49% to 72%. The Company's majority
control of IWESA is likely to be temporary and, accordingly, the Company is
accounting for this investment on the equity method. For the six month period
ended June 30, 1997, the Company's equity in net loss of IWESA is 1,352,000 DM
($788,000) (none in 1996).

6. INCOME TAXES

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six month period ended June
30, 1997 from the same period in 1996, is attributable to the tax benefits from
the utilization of net operating loss tax carryforwards.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Material Changes in Financial Condition

For the first six months of 1997, net cash provided by operating activities
was $20.6 million compared to $31.1 million for the same period in 1996. This
difference is due primarily to a substantial increase in accounts receivable
caused by increased sales. The Company's investing activities substantially
increased and include a $36.0 million payment for costs related to the Sudbury
acquisition, as well as a $10.5 million increase in additions to property, plant
and equipment. Financing activities also increased significantly, principally as
a result of the increase in borrowings used to fund accounts receivable, and to
finance additional Sudbury acquisition costs.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $7.4 million at June 30, 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 June 1,
1997.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

SALES. Sales in the second quarter of 1997 were $210.9 million compared to
$143.8 million during the same period in 1996. Sales for the six month period
ending June 30, 1997 increased $142.4 million (or 51.3%) over the same period
in 1996. This increase in sales relates primarily to the acquisition of
Sudbury in late December 1996. Domestic sales during the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, excluding Sudbury, were approximately $8.2 million (or
6.8%) and $5.2 million (or 2.3%) lower than during their respective periods in
1996. This is a result of slower domestic light vehicle sales compounded by
strikes at certain Chrysler and GM plants. Sales at Wagner Castings (part of
the December 1996 Sudbury acquisition) for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1997 decreased approximately $6.9 million and $10.3 million,
respectively, from levels for the same periods in 1996. This decrease is a
result of Wagner Casting's decision to withdraw from the malleable iron
production business, without replacement, as some orders that were placed in
1996 were withdrawn in January 1997; and to a lesser extent, the effect of the
Chrysler strike. Sales at machining operations increased $5.0 million and $9.3
million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively,
from the same periods in 1996 due to the launch of new products. European
sales were up 5.5% and 0.4% for the second quarter and year to date 1997,
respectively, versus the same periods for 1996. However, the negative effect
of changes in the exchange rates was $3.0 million (or 11%) and $5.8 million (or
11%) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively, as
compared to exchange rates in the same periods in 1996.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $28.3
million, an increase of $4.0 million from that of the same period in 1996.
Gross profit for June 30, 1997 year to date was $55.9 million versus $44.1
million in 1996. This improvement was principally attributable to the
performance of the newly acquired Sudbury subsidiaries. Gross profit as a
percentage of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 were 13.4%
and 13.3%, respectively, compared to 16.9% and 15.9% for the corresponding
periods in 1996. This decrease is due primarily to continued higher than
anticipated costs associated with new product launches at the Company's lost
foam aluminum plant, the effect of the Chrysler and GM strikes on capacity
utilization and underutilized capacity at certain other domestic foundries. In
addition, the Sudbury subsidiaries in the aggregate generate lower margins than
pre-acquisition Intermet subsidiaries as a whole. Gross margins for the second
quarter of 1996 were higher because this period was the last quarter before the
significant production launch at the lost foam aluminum plant and the last
quarter in which the higher-margin Ford F-150 I-beam program was produced at
the Ironton facility.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 3.6% for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 compared to 3.1% for the same period in 1996. Selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the six month
periods ending June 30, 1997 and 1996 was 3.5% for both periods.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased to $3.2 million and $6.1 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, from $.7
million and $1.4 million for the same periods in 1996. This was a result of an
increase in borrowing that were used principally to finance the Sudbury
Acquisition and, to a lesser extent, to fund accounts receivable.

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 reimburse the
Attorney General's Office $13,000 for the costs of investigating this case.
These costs were paid in July 1997. The Company expects to pay $272,103 in
civil penalties in August 1997. These amounts have been fully accrued since
1995.
