REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
May 30, 1997
To the Participants and Administrator
of RMI Titanium Company Bargaining Unit
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 Bargaining Unit 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
BARGAINING UNIT EMPLOYEES 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 Bargaining Unit
Employees 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
market value, and includes approximately $106,000 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. Security transactions
are recorded as of the settlement date. 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 union
represented 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. Pretax contributions are subject to annual limitations as prescribed
by law ($9,500 in 1996). 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.
8
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 Common Stock investment option
was retained.
