REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Participants and Administrator
of RMI Titanium Company Employees
Savings and Investment Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the RMI Titanium Company Employees Savings and Investment Plan (the Plan) at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is additional information
required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Fund
Information in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is
presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the changes
in net assets available for benefits of each fund. Schedules I and II and the
Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

RMI TITANIUM COMPANY
EMPLOYEE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
ACCOUNTING METHOD
The financial statements of the RMI Titanium Company Savings and Investment
Plan (the Plan) use the accrual method of accounting.
USE OF ESTIMATES
Generally accepted accounting principles require management to make certain
estimates and assumptions relating primarily to the fair market value of certain
Plan assets. For additional information on the fair market value of Plan assets
see "Investments" below.
INVESTMENTS
Available investment options are as follows:
Fidelity Magellan Mutual Fund Account (a mutual fund)
RMI Titanium Company Common Stock
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company Guaranteed "Long-Term"
Account (guaranteed investment contract)
Funds managed by CIGNA or Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CIGNA:
Stock Market Index Account
Fidelity Advisor Income and Growth Account
International Equity Account
Investments in the Fidelity Magellan Mutual Fund and RMI Titanium Company
Common Stock are valued at fair market value based on published quotations. The
guaranteed investment contract is valued at contract value, which approximates
fair market value, and includes approximately $50,000 of assets as of December
31, 1996, which will be allocated in accordance with participants chosen
investment elections in effect at the time the funds were withheld. All CIGNA
managed funds are valued by CIGNA based on the published quotations of the
underlying investments within each of the funds and reflect current market
value. Security transactions are recorded as of the settlement date.
FUNDING
The Plan is funded by contributions from the participating employees of RMI
Titanium Company (the Company). The costs of administering the Plan and the
trust are borne by the Company.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
Benefits are recorded when paid.
NOTE 2--DESCRIPTION OF PLAN:
GENERAL
The Plan Sponsor is RMI Titanium Company (the Company). The Company is a
successor to entities that have been operating in the titanium industry since
1958. The Company's operations are conducted primarily in one business segment,
the production and marketing of titanium metal and related products.

7
The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description
of the Plan's provisions.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering full-time salaried,
nonrepresented employees who are at least 21 years of age and have one year of
service. Effective July 1, 1996, eligibility was amended to at least 21 years of
age and three months of service. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
CONTRIBUTIONS
Participants may contribute from 1% to 15% of salary through payroll
deduction. Pre-tax contributions are subject to annual limitations as prescribed
by law ($9,500 in 1996). Certain highly compensated participants, as defined by
the Internal Revenue Code, may contribute from 1% to 7% of salary through
payroll deduction. Contributions are directed by the participants into any one
or all of the investment options. Participants may change their elections of
investment funds by calling the recordkeeper directly or by completing a new
enrollment and change form and submitting it to the employee benefits department
at least 15 days in advance. Participants are 100% vested in their accounts at
all times.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
Participants or their beneficiaries are entitled to the full current value
of their account in the Plan upon:
Retirement;
Termination of Employment with the Company;
or Death
Participants may also make written application to the administrator for
withdrawal of all or a portion of their account balance for certain limited
situations qualifying as financial hardships under Internal Revenue Service
guidelines in effect at the time of withdrawal.
PARTICIPANT LOANS RECEIVABLE
Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a
maximum equal to 50% of the existing account balance. Loans are treated as a
transfer [from] the investment fund to the Participant Loans Receivable fund.
Loan repayment terms range from one month to five years and are secured by the
balance in the participant account. Loans bear interest at a rate commensurate
with the current market rate when made. Loans made in 1996 bear interest at
8.75%. Interest rates on loans made prior to 1996 range from 8.75% to 15.00%.
Principal and interest are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions.
Repayments are transfers to the investment funds [from] the Participant Loans
Receivable fund.
TRANSFERS
Transfers represents net inter-plan and inter-fund transfers.
ADMINISTRATOR
The Plan's administrator is the Company's Retirement Board. The Board
establishes rules of procedures and interprets the provisions of the Plan.
TERMINATION PROVISION
The Company anticipates the Plan will continue without interruption, but
reserves the right to discontinue the Plan at any time. In the event that such
discontinuance results in the termination of the Plan, the Plan provides that
each participant shall be fully vested with the amount in his/her individual
account which includes earnings on the participant's contributions. The
individual accounts of the participants shall continue to be administered by the
administrator, or be distributed in a lump sum to the participants, as deemed
appropriate by the administrator.

NOTE 3--INCOME TAXES:
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Company
by a letter dated April 30, 1996, that the Plan and related trust are designed
in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The
Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision
for income taxes has been included in the Plan financial statements.
NOTE 4--RECORDKEEPING
Individual participant account balances, allocation and investment options
are maintained by CIGNA based on enrollment and payroll information supplied by
the Company.
NOTE 5--SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Effective February 1, 1997, the Company changed the Plan Recordkeeper from
CIGNA to Fidelity Investments. Concurrently, new investment options in Fidelity
managed funds were made available to plan participants. Existing balances in
CIGNA managed funds were transferred to the Fidelity Fund most closely matching
the stated investment strategy. The RMI Titanium Company Common Stock investment
option was retained.
