Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

References to years or portions of years in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations refer to the Company’s fiscal years ended September 30, unless otherwise indicated. This discussion contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws.

Readers of this discussion are cautioned that any such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward looking statements as a result of various factors. This report should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2002.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2001

         Net Revenues. Net revenues decreased approximately $19.0 million or 30.7% to approximately $42.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from approximately $61.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Volume decreased 32.6% to approximately 3.1 million pounds in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from approximately 4.6 million pounds in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The average selling price increased 4.9% to $13.97 per pound in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from $13.32 per pound in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company's consolidated backlog has declined approximately $3.5 million or 6.7% to approximately $49.0 million at December 31, 2002 from approximately $52.5 million at September 30, 2002. Order entry declined $8.6 million or 17.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2001.

         Sales to the aerospace industry decreased by approximately $5.7 million to approximately $18.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from approximately $24.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, due to a 23.7% decrease in volume. The decrease in volume was attributed to significantly lower sales of nickel-base and cobalt-base alloy flat and round products to jet engine fabricators. The industry continues to adjust to lower commercial aircraft build rates and fewer commercial flights.

         Sales to the chemical processing industry decreased by approximately $4.2 million to approximately $10.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from approximately $14.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, due to a 29.2% decrease in volume. The decrease in volume was a result of the significant lack of worldwide project related business and reduced maintenance related activity in the chemical processing industry.

         Sales to the land-based gas turbine industry decreased by approximately $4.8 million to approximately $7.9 million in the first quarter of 2003 from approximately $12.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, primarily due to a 44.4% decrease in volume partially offset by an 11.3% increase in the average selling price per pound. The decrease in volume was due to a decline in domestic and European sales of proprietary alloy round products and lower shipments of specialty alloy flat products as fabricators responded to a lower level of demand for land-based gas turbines. The increase in the average selling price was attributed to the sale of a greater proportion of higher priced alloys and forms.

         Sales to other industries decreased by approximately $3.6 million to approximately $6.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from approximately $10.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, primarily due to a 39.6% decrease in volume. The decrease in volume was attributed to projects that did not repeat during the first quarter of fiscal 2003.



Page 8 of 18

         Cost of Sales. Cost of sales as a percent of net revenues increased to 82.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from 76.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The total cost of sales decreased commensurate with the decline in volume. However, sales of lower value added products (generally lower cost commodity alloys) decreased at a greater rate than the sales decline of higher value added products (generally higher cost proprietary alloys). This change in product mix contributed to an increase in the average selling price per pound along with an increase in the average cost per pound of material shipped.

         Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased by approximately $700,000 to approximately $6.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from approximately $5.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase in selling and administrative expense was due primarily to an increase in management fees and foreign currency exchange losses.

         Research and Technical Expense. Research and technical expenses remained relatively flat when comparing the first quarter of fiscal 2003 with the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

         Operating Income. As a result of the above factors, operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was approximately $600,000 compared to approximately $8.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by approximately $400,000 to approximately $4.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from approximately $5.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Lower revolving credit borrowings and lower interest rates contributed to the decrease when comparing the two quarters.

         Income Taxes. Income taxes changed by approximately $2.8 million to an income tax benefit of approximately $1.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from an income tax provision of approximately $1.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002, due to the pre-tax loss of $4.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the net income of $2.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

         Net Loss. As a result of the above factors, the net loss was approximately $2.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared with net income of approximately $1.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's near term future cash needs will be driven by working capital requirements and planned capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were approximately $900,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to approximately $2.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The remainder of planned capital spending of approximately $4.0 million for fiscal 2003 is targeted for the Company's electro slag remelt upgrade and environmental projects. The Company does not expect such capital expenditures to have a material effect on its long-term liquidity. The Company expects to fund its working capital needs and capital expenditures with cash provided from operations, supplemented by borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility. The Company believes these sources of capital will be sufficient to fund planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements over the next 12 months and on a long-term basis, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

         Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was approximately $6.8 million, as compared to $5.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was primarily the result of an increase of approximately $4.2 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a decrease of approximately $4.6 million in accounts and notes receivable, a decrease of approximately $800,000 in inventories, and non-cash depreciation and amortization of approximately $1.6 million, which was offset by an increase of approximately $1.6 million in deferred income taxes and a net loss of approximately $2.8 million. Net cash used for investing activities decreased to approximately $200,000 for the first quarter of 2003 from approximately $2.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002, due to a decrease of approximately $900,000 in capital expenditures partially offset by an increase of approximately $700,000 in proceeds from the sale of idle equipment. Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was approximately $6.6 million, primarily due to net reductions in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.



Page 9 of 18

         Cash for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 increased approximately $300,000 resulting in a December 31, 2002 cash balance of approximately $5.5 million. Cash for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 increased approximately $700,000 resulting in a December 31, 2001 cash balance of approximately $900,000.

         Total debt at December 31, 2002 was approximately $183.2 million compared to approximately $203.9 million at December 31, 2001, reflecting decreased borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and payments on capital lease obligations.

         At December 31, 2002, approximately $39.6 million had been borrowed pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility compared to approximately $59.1 million at December 31, 2001. In addition, as of December 31, 2002, approximately $600,000 in Letter of Credit obligations had been incurred by the Company. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a reserve for accrued interest payable, March 1 and September 1, in connection with the Senior Notes of approximately $5.4 million at December 31, 2002 and a permanent fixed charge reserve which is $2.0 million at December 31, 2002. The Company had available additional borrowing capacity of approximately $15.9 million on the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2002.

         The Company has non-contributory defined benefit pension plans which cover most employees in the United States and certain foreign subsidiaries. The expected long-term rate of return on the Company's Qualified Plan assets is at 9.0% at September 30, 2002, which has historically approximated the actual rate of return on plan assets. In developing the Company's expected long-term rate of return assumption, the Company evaluated input from its actuaries, asset manager, expectations by several respected consultants as well as historical long-term inflation assumptions. Projected returns by consultants are based on broad equity and bond indices. A hypothetical decrease in the expected long-term rate of return on the Qualified Plan assets by 1.0% would increase pension expense by $1.2 million.

         The current asset allocation approximates a 49% equity allocation split between US equities (40%) international equities (9%) with the remaining 51% being allocated to fixed income instruments split between US fixed income investments (43%) and international fixed income funds (8%). This allocation approximates the planned allocation of 50% equities and 50% fixed income instruments.

         The discount rate that the Company utilizes for determining future pension obligations is based on long-term AA bonds rated by a recognized rating agency. The discount rate determined on this basis has decreased from 7.25% at September 30, 2001, to 6.5% at September 30, 2002. A hypothetical reduction in the discount rate from 6.5% to 5.5% would increase pension expense by approximately $1.8 million. Despite the recent reductions in the funded status of the Company's Qualified Plan, it is believed that, based on our actuarial assumptions that no cash contribution to our Qualified Plan will be required for the next 12 months. In fiscal 2002, $4.0 million was funded to the Company's 401(h) plan from the Qualified Plan assets. No funding from the Qualified Plan assets to the 401(h) account will take place in 2003 which should reduce pension expense by $360,000 for fiscal 2003. The $4.0 million that was provided by the Qualified Plan assets for the 401(h) will now be provided by funds from operations of the Company.

         As market conditions warrant, the Company and its major equity holders, including Blackstone Capital Partners II Merchant Banking Fund L.P. and its affiliates, may from time to time purchase debt securities issued by the Company, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventories, income taxes, retirement benefits and environmental matters. The process of determining significant estimates is fact specific and takes into account factors such as historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, product mix and in some cases, actuarial techniques, and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company constantly reevaluates these significant factors and makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.



Page 10 of 18

         Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. During the period ended December 31, 2002, there were no changes to these accounting policies.

Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring". SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

         In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company currently accounts for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25. The additional disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 148 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

         In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." Interpretation No. 45 expands upon the disclosure requirements to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements regarding its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. Additionally, Interpretation No. 45 requires that the guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Footnote disclosures are required in interim and year-end financial statements ending after December 15, 2002. Liability recognition and measurement provisions apply prospectively to guarantees issued or modified starting January 1, 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 45 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations, no footnote disclosures were required under Interpretation No. 45 as of December 31, 2002.

         In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51." Interpretation No. 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of certain variable interest entities, and is effective for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains as interest after that date. The Company does not expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 46 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

         Changes in interest rates affect the Company's interest expense on variable rate debt. Approximately 21.6% of the Company's total debt was variable rate debt at December 31, 2002. A hypothetical 10% increase in the interest rate on variable rate debt would have resulted in additional interest expense of $170,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2002. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to hedge the effects of changes in interest rates.

         At December 31, 2002, the Company's primary market risk exposure was foreign currency exchange rate and raw material price fluctuations.

         Foreign exchange contracts offset foreign currency denominated purchase commitments to suppliers, accounts receivable from, and future committed sales to, customers, and operating expenses. Any US dollar exposure aggregating more than $500,000 requires approval from the Company's Vice President of Finance.

         At December 31, 2002, the Company had no foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

         Based on their most recent evaluation, which was completed within 90 days of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) are effective in timely alerting the Company's management to material information required to be included in this Form 10-Q and other Exchange Act filings. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, and there were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses which required corrective actions.
