(See accompanying notes) 7 THE DURIRON COMPANY, INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (dollars presented in tables in thousands except per share data) 1. Inventories. The amount of inventories and the method of determining costs for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995 were as follows:
Domestic Foreign inventories inventories Total (LIFO) (FIFO) inventories ------------------------------------------------ June 30, 1996 Raw materials $ 3,154 $ 3,898 $ 7,052 Work in process and finished goods 57,824 40,466 98,290 ----------- ----------- ------------- $ 60,978 $ 44,364 $ 105,342 =========== =========== ============= December 31, 1995 Raw materials $ 2,642 $ 3,282 $ 5,924 Work in process and finished goods 48,857 38,374 87,231 ----------- ----------- ------------- $ 51,499 $ 41,656 $ 93,155 =========== =========== =============
LIFO inventories at current cost are $37,904,000 and $36,127,000 higher than reported at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. 2. Shareholders' equity. There are authorized 60,000,000 shares of $1.25 par value common stock and 1,000,000 shares of $1.00 par value preferred stock. Changes during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:

8 As of June 30, 1996, 1,227,221 shares of common stock were reserved for exercise of stock options and grants of restricted shares. 3. Dividends. Dividends paid during the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were based on 24,547,672 and 24,364,974, respectively, common shares outstanding on the applicable dates of record. 4. Earnings per share. Earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were based on average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding of 24,824,170 and 24,705,231, respectively. 5. Contingencies. The Company is involved as a "potentially responsible party" at five former public waste disposal sites which may be subject to remediation under pending government procedures. The sites are in various stages of evaluation by federal and state environmental authorities. The projected cost of remediating these sites, as well as the Company's alleged "fair share" allocation, is uncertain and speculative until all studies have been completed and the parties have either negotiated an amicable resolution or the matter has been judicially resolved. At each site, there are many other parties who have similarly been identified, and the identification and location of additional parties is continuing under applicable federal or state law. Many of the other parties identified are financially strong and solvent companies which appear able to pay their share of the remediation costs. Based on the Company's preliminary information about the waste disposal practices at these sites and the environmental regulatory process in general, the Company believes that it is likely that ultimate remediation liability costs for each site will be apportioned among all liable parties, including site owners and waste transporters, according to the volumes and/or toxicity of the wastes shown to have been disposed of at the sites. The Company is a defendant in numerous pending lawsuits (which include, in many cases, multiple claimants) which seek to recover damages for alleged personal injury allegedly resulting from exposure to asbestos containing products formerly manufactured and distributed by the Company. A high percentage of these claims was assumed by the Company in 1995 as the result of the merger of Durametallic Corporation. All such products were used within self-contained process equipment, and management does not believe that there was any emission of ambient asbestos fiber during the use of this equipment. As of December 31, 1995, the Company has resolved numerous claims at an average of about $120 per claim, the cost of which was fully paid by insurance. The Company continues to have a substantial amount of available insurance from financially solvent carriers to cover the cost of both defending and resolving the claims. The Company is also a defendant in several other products liability lawsuits which are insured, subject to the applicable deductibles, and certain other non-insured lawsuits received in the ordinary course of business. The Company has fully accrued the estimated loss reserve for each such lawsuit. No insurance recovery has been projected for any of the insured claims because management currently believes that all will be resolved within applicable deductibles. Although none of the aforementioned gives rise to any additional liability that can now be reasonably estimated, it is possible that the Company could incur additional costs in the range of $250,000 to $1,000,000 over the upcoming five years to fully resolve these matters. Although the Company has accrued the minimum end of this range as a precaution, management has no current reason to believe that any such increase is probable or quantifiable. The Company will continue to evaluate these contingent loss exposures and, if they develop, recognize expense as soon as such losses can be reasonably estimated. 9 6. Merger. On November 30, 1995, the Company merged with Durametallic Corporation. The acquisition was accounted for under the pooling of interests method of accounting, and accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated for all periods prior to the acquisition to include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Durametallic. 7. Restructuring The Company recognized a restructuring charge of $5.8 million, or $.12 per share after tax, during the second quarter of 1996 to consolidate Duriron and its rectntly acquired Durametallic operations in Europe and Australia. The restructuring charge resulted in termination costs of $3.2 million and exit costs of $2.6 million. --------------------------------------------- The financial information contained in this report is unaudited, but, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for the period have been made. 10 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Capital Resources and Liquidity - Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 The Company's capital structure, consisting of long-term debt, deferred items and shareholders' equity, continues to enable the Company to finance short-and long-range business objectives. At June 30, 1996, long-term debt was 14.8% of the Company's capital structure, compared to 16.9% at December 31, 1995. Based upon annualized 1996 results, the interest coverage ratio of the Company's indebtedness was 11.2 at June 30, 1996, compared with 10.7 for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995. The return on average net assets at June 30, 1996 was 13.1% based upon 1996 annualized results, compared to 11.5% at December 31, 1995. Annualized return on average shareholders' equity was 18.8% at June 30, 1996, compared to 16.6% at December 31, 1995. Increases in these returns, despite the impact of a restructuring charge in the second quarter of 1996, reflect the Company's improved level of profitability. Management continues to focus on improving its performance in these areas. Capital spending in 1996 is expected to be approximately $17.5 million, compared with $13.3 million in 1995. The 1996 expenditures will be invested in new and replacement products, international market development and general manufacturing equipment upgrades. The Company's liquidity position is reflected in a current ratio of 2.5 to 1 at June 30, 1996. This compares to 2.5 to 1 at December 31, 1995. Cash in excess of current requirements was invested in high-grade, short-term securities. Cash and amounts available under borrowing arrangements will be adequate to fund operating needs and capital expenditures through the coming year. On July 26, 1996, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the purchase in the open market and through negotiated transactions of up to 2.4 million of its shares of Common Stock at an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $50 million. It is the Company's intent to repurchase the shares quickly and as long as market conditions remain favorable. The maximum number of shares covered by the authorization represents up to almost 10% of the number of outstanding shares. It is anticipated that the repurchase program will be funded with excess cash, existing lines of credit and additional external borrowings. Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were a record of $300.3 million. This compares with net sales of $253.8 million in the same period in 1995. The 18% increase in net sales reflects strong global shipments from all business units and across all geographic regions. Foreign contributions to consolidated net sales were 33.4% and 33.0% for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Total net sales to foreign customers including export sales from the U.S. were 40.7% and 37.8% for the first six months of 1996 and 1995, 11 respectively. The increase in foreign contributions reflects higher levels of shipments into the European, Asian and Latin American markets. Incoming business was a record $310.3 million for the first six months of 1996. This reflects an increase of 15% over the same period in 1995. The record level of incoming business is expected to continue through 1996. The 1996 incoming business level reflected strong activity throughout the global organization. Incoming business in the international markets was particularly strong during the first half of 1996 compared with 1995. Backlog at June 30, 1996 was $110.9 million, compared with a backlog of $101.4 million at December 31, 1995. The Company remains committed to its program of reducing throughput time and meeting customer request dates for deliveries. The gross profit margin was 40.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This compares to 40.5% for the same period in 1995. The improvement in the margin reflects improved pricing and the impact of the Company's continued emphasis on cost control. In addition, burden absorption improved due to the higher levels of plant utilization. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were 24.4%, compared to 25.7% for the same period in 1995. The decrease in expense as a percentage of net sales is consistent with the Company's plan to further leverage expense in 1996 while continuing to invest in the development and growth of international operations. Selling and administrative expense in dollars increased between periods due to higher commission payments on large project shipments, global market development and general wage increases. Research, engineering and development expense as a percentage of net sales the six months ended June 30, 1996 was 2.7%, compared with 2.9% for the same period in 1995. The expense level during the first half of 1996 reflects the Company's continued investment in new products and production processes. Other expense was $3.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 1996, compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 1995. The increase in expense reflects higher levels of long and short term incentive compensation expense as the Company achieved record financial results. The Company recognized a restructuring charge of $5.8 million before income taxes, or $.12 per share after tax, during the second quarter of 1996 to consolidate Duriron and its recently acquired Durametallic operations in Europe and Australia. Durametallic operations in Belgium, Germany, Italy, France and Australia will be combined with larger and more efficient Duriron facilities during the second half of 1996. The restructuring was a part of the plan to obtain positive synergies between the two companies. The savings associated with the plan will be immediate since the facilities had been unprofitable for many years and fixed operating costs will be permanently reduced. Annual savings associated with the personnel reductions alone will amount to approximately $1.5 million. The restructuring plan is expected to result in the termination of approximately 55 employees at a cost of $3.2 million. In addition, exit costs associated with the plant closings are estimated at $2.6 million. The restructuring activities are expected to be funded with operating cash flows. Additional costs to fully implement the reorganization plan of 12 approximately $.02-$.03 per share will be recorded as period costs and categorized into cost of sales and administrative expense in the second half of 1996. These future costs relate to moving equipment and cross-training employees to support ongoing operations at the Duriron facilities. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was 34.9%, compared with 37.8% in 1995. The lower 1996 effective tax rate includes benefits associated with restructuring the Company's German entities and other tax benefits of the aforementioned restructuring. Excluding the tax impact on the restructuring, the tax rate for the 1996 was 37.0%. The reduction in the 1996 tax rate excluding the impact of the restructuring reflects the recognition of tax loss carryforwards in the Company's Asia Pacific and European operations. Earnings from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were a record $22.0 million, or $.89 per share, before the restructuring of $3.0 million after tax, or $.12 per share. This reflects a 41% increase in profits over 1995 earnings of $15.7 million, or $.63 per share. Including the restructuring, net earnings of $19.0 million remained at a record level and exceeded the prior year by 21%. The increase in profits reflects the combination of strong business and leveraging of expenses. The impact of the merger with Durametallic continued to be accretive to earnings per share in the second quarter of 1996. Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were a record of $151.1 million, compared to net sales of $131.1 million for the same period in 1995. The 15% increase in net sales reflects strong global shipments from all operations and across all geographic regions. Foreign contributions to consolidated net sales were 33.4% and 32.9% for the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Total net sales to foreign customers including export sales from the U.S. were 41.2% and 37.2% for the second quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in foreign contributions reflects higher levels of export sales and shipments into the Asian and Latin American markets. Incoming business was $153.3 million in the second quarter of 1996. This reflects an increase of 7% over a prior record incoming business level of $143.7 million during the same period in 1995. The 1996 incoming business level reflected strong activity throughout the global organization. Incoming business in the European and Latin American markets was particularly strong during the second quarter of 1996 compared with 1995. Backlog at June 30, 1996 was $110.9 million, compared with a backlog of $101.4 million at December 31, 1995. The gross profit margin was a record 41.4% for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This compares to 40.1% for the same period in 1995. The improvement in the margin reflects better pricing, improved burden absorption related to higher levels of plant utilization and the impact of the Company's continued emphasis on cost control. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were 24.4%, compared to 25.6% for the same period in 1995. The decrease in expense as a percentage of net sales is consistent with the Company's plan to further leverage 13 expense in 1996 while continuing to invest in the development and growth of international operations. Selling and administrative expense in dollars increased between periods due to higher commission payments on large project shipments and global market development. Research, engineering and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $4.0 million, compared with $3.6 million for the same period in 1995. The expense level during the second quarter of 1996 reflects the Company's continued investment in new products and production processes. The Company recognized a restructuring charge of $5.8 million before income taxes, or $.12 per share after tax, during the second quarter of 1996 to consolidate Duriron and its recently acquired Durametallic operations in Europe and Australia. For further information, reference the previous paragraph on the same topic located in the review of operations for the first six months of 1996. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 1996 was 32.3%, compared with 37.8% in 1995. The lower second quarter 1996 tax rate includes benefits associated with restructuring the Company's German fiscal entities and other tax benefits of the aforementioned restructuring. Excluding the tax impact on the restructuring, the tax rate for the second quarter was 37.0%. The reduction in tax rate from 1995 excluding the impacts of the restructuring reflects the recognition of tax loss carryforwards in the Company's Asia Pacific and European operations. Earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were a record $11.9 million, or $.48 per share, before the restructuring of $3.0 million after tax, or $.12 per share. This reflects a 49% increase in profits over 1995 earnings of $8.0 million, or $.32 per share. Including the restructuring, 1996 net earnings of $8.9 million were 11% above the prior year earnings. The increase in profits reflects the combination of strong business and leveraging of expenses. The impact of the merger with Durametallic continued to be accretive to earnings per share in the second quarter of 1996. Net earnings for future quarters of 1996 and thereafter are uncertain and dependent on general worldwide economic conditions in the Company's major markets and their strong impact on the level of incoming business activity. 14 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 Not Applicable During Reporting Period ITEM 2 On July 26, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Company's Rights Agreement which has the effect of extending the expiration date of this Rights Agreement from August 13, 1996 to August 13, 2006. The Amendment also made several other technical modifications to the Rights Agreement. The Amendment has the effect of extending the rights (the "Rights") of holders of the Company's common stock to purchase a series of Participating Preferred Stock to be newly issued by the Company if an "Acquiring Person" takes certain defined steps without approval of the Company's Board of Directors, which could lead to a change of control of the Company, all as subject to and as more clearly defined in the Rights Agreement. A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 4.5 hereto. The Amendment could have certain anti-takeover effects since the issuance of the Rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group who attempts to acquire the Company on terms not approved by the Company's Board of Directors. ITEM 3 Not Applicable During Reporting Period ITEM 4 On April 25, 1996, the 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders was held.

                        AMENDMENT TO RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT, made and entered into as of this 1st day of August, 1996, by
and between THE DURIRON COMPANY, INC. (the "Company") and KEYBANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION ("Key") is being executed under the following circumstances:

A.      The Company and Bank One, Dayton, N.A. ("Bank One") entered into a
        Rights Agreement dated August 1, 1986 ("Rights Agreement"), pursuant to
        which Bank One was appointed to act as a rights agent (the "Rights
        Agent") under the Rights Agreement. Bank One gave notice of its
        resignation as Rights Agent under the Rights Agreement in 1987 with the
        Company appointing an affiliate of Bank One as successor Rights Agent
        pursuant to Section 21 of the Rights Agreement. Effective October 1,
        1995 such affiliate of Bank One gave notice of its resignation of Rights
        Agent. The Company, in accordance with Section 21 of the Rights
        Agreement and in compliance with other provisions thereof, appointed
        Society National Bank ("Society") as successor Rights Agent effective
        October 1, 1995, and Society accepted the appointment of the position as
        successor Rights Agent effective on October 1, 1995. Effective June 17,
        1996, Key became the successor by merger to Society, and Key now serves
        as Rights Agent.

B.      NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Key hereby amend the Rights Agreement as
        follows, pursuant to Section 26 of the Rights Agreement:

        1.      The second sentence of Section 4 of the Rights Agreement is
                amended by changing the figure "$30.00" to "$90.00".

        2.      Section 7(a) and Section 7(b) of the Rights Agreement are
                amended and restated to read as follows:

                        EXERCISE OF RIGHTS; PURCHASE PRICE; EXPIRATION DATE OF
                        RIGHTS.

                                (a)     The Rights shall become exercisable
                        following the close of business on the Distribution
                        Date. The Rights may be exercised to purchase Preferred
                        Stock, except as otherwise provided herein, in whole or
                        in part at any time after the Distribution Date upon
                        surrender of the Right Certificate, with the form of
                        election to purchase on the reverse side thereof duly
                        executed (with such signature duly guaranteed), to the
                        Rights Agent at the Securityholder Services Department
                        of the Rights Agent in Cleveland, Ohio, together with
                        payment of the Purchase Price with 
   2

                respect to each Right exercised, subject to adjustment as
                hereinafter provided, at or prior to the close of business on
                the earlier of (i) August 13, 2006 ("Final Expiration Date"), or
                (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed as provided in
                Section 23 hereof (such earlier date being herein referred to as
                the "Expiration Date").

                        (b)     The Purchase Price for each one one-hundredth
                (1/100) of a share of Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the
                exercise of a Right shall initially be $90.00. The Purchase
                Price and the number of shares of Preferred Stock or other
                securities to be acquired upon exercise of a Right shall be
                subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Sections
                11 and 13 hereof. The Purchase Price shall be payable in lawful
                money of the United States of America, in accordance with
                paragraph (c) below.

3.      New Sections 7(e), 7(f) and 7(g) are added to the Rights Agreement and
        shall read as follows:

                        (e)     At any time after any Person becomes an
                Acquiring Person, a majority of the members of the Board of
                Directors who were in office at the time the Person became an
                Acquiring Person (with such members being called "Continuing
                Directors" hereafter) may, at their option, exchange all or part
                of the then outstanding and exercisable Rights (exclusive of any
                Rights that are or were at any time on or after the earlier of
                the Stock Acquisition Date or the Distribution Date acquired or
                beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person or any Associate or
                Affiliate of any such Acquiring Person, or any transferee of
                such Rights) (such excluded rights being hereinafter referred to
                as the "Excluded Rights") for shares of Common Stock at an
                exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right,
                appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock
                dividend or similar transaction occurring after the Distribution
                Date (such exchange ratio being hereinafter referred to as the
                "Exchange Ratio").

                        (f)     Immediately upon the action of the Continuing
                Directors electing to exchange any Rights pursuant to Section
                7(e) and without any further action and without any notice, the
                right to exercise such Rights will terminate and thereafter the
                only right of a holder of such Rights shall be to receive that
                number of shares of Common Stock equal to the numbers of such
   3
                Rights held by such holder multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. The
                Company shall promptly thereafter give notice of such exchange
                to the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights to be
                exchanged in the manner set forth in Section 24; provided that
                the failure to give, or any defect in, such notice shall not
                affect the validity of such exchange. Any notice which is mailed
                in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or
                not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of exchange
                will state the method by which the exchange of shares of Common
                Stock for Rights will be effected and, in the event of any
                partial exchange, the number of Rights which will be exchanged.
                Any partial exchange shall be effected pro rata based on the
                number of Rights (other than Excluded Rights) held by each
                holder of Rights.

                        (g)     In any exchange pursuant to this Section 7, the
                Company, at its option, may substitute another security (having
                rights approximately equivalent to those then carried by a share
                of Common Stock, such other security being hereinafter referred
                to as a "Common Stock Equivalent") for shares of Common Stock
                exchangeable for Rights, at the rate of one Common Stock
                equivalent for each share of Common Stock, so that each Common
                Stock Equivalent delivered in lieu of each share of Common Stock
                shall have essentially the same dividend, liquidation and voting
                rights as one share of Common Stock then has.
        

4.      Exhibit B (Form of Right Certificate) is amended by changing the figure
        "$30.00" to "$90.00".

The remainder of the Plan shall remain unchanged, and the Plan, as so amended
above, shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Amendment to the Rights
Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
