1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  (continued)

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist principally of costs in excess of net assets acquired
of $89,172,000 and $86,014,000 (net of accumulated amortization of $5,819,000
and $4,392,000) at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. Such costs
are being amortized using the straight-line method over periods ranging from ten
to forty years.

Income per Common Share

Net income per common share amounts were previously based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period, after giving effect to
the exercise of options and assuming the repurchase at fair market value, of
shares using the proceeds from such exercise, unless the effect was
antidilutive. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which was adopted by
the Company on December 31, 1997. Under the new requirements for calculating
basic earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options is excluded.
Fully diluted EPS has not changed significantly but has been renamed diluted
EPS. Earnings per share for all prior periods have been restated to reflect the
new accounting standard.

Reclassification

Certain amounts previously reported in the 1997 financial statements and notes
thereto have been reclassified to conform to the 1998 presentation.

2.  Acquisitions and Dispositions

During the second quarter of 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with
Portuguese Grupo Jorge de Mello, creating a joint venture company called
PortCast-Fundicao Nodular, S.A. ("PortCast"). PortCast is located in Porto,
Portugal and increases foundry capacity in Europe. The Company spent $2.0
million of capital toward its investment in a 50% equity interest in PortCast.
The Company has managerial control and the ability to increase its ownership
interest.

In June 1998, the Company sold its Industrial Powder Coatings, Inc. subsidiary
("IPC"). IPC was purchased as part of the Sudbury acquisition in December 1996.
IPC's sales were approximately 7% of Intermet's consolidated sales for the
twelve months of 1997 and for the first six months of 1998.

2. Acquisitions and Dispositions  (continued)

During the second quarter of 1998, IWESA GmbH ("IWESA") entered bankruptcy
proceedings and continues to operate under the protection of a bankruptcy
referee. The Company had purchased a 49% equity investment in IWESA in late
1996. The Company's ownership of IWESA increased to 82.4% during 1997 and IWESA
was consolidated at the end of 1997. As a result of the bankruptcy proceedings,
the Company's consolidated financial statements include IWESA's results of
operations only through April 1998 and IWESA is not included in the consolidated
balance sheet at June 30, 1998. IWESA accounted for approximately 2% of the
Company's consolidated sales for 1998 for the first six months ended June 30,
1998.

The effect of the above mentioned disposals had an immaterial impact on the
Company's financial results for the three and six month periods ending June 30,
1998.

3. Debt

Long term debt consists of the following (in thousands of dollars):

4.  Comprehensive Income

During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which
the Company adopted as of January 1, 1998. Statement 130 establishes new rules
for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. However,
the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Company's net income or
shareholders' equity. Statement 130 requires these items, which include foreign
currency translation adjustment and minimum pension liability adjustment, to be
combined and reported as accumulated other comprehensive income. Prior to
adoption, these items were reported separately in shareholders' equity. In
addition, the Statement requires net income and other comprehensive income to be
included as components of total comprehensive income, as displayed in the table
below.

shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. The dilutive earnings per share calculation reflects the assumed
exercise of stock options.

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 1998, net cash provided by operating activities was
$9.2 million. Accounts receivable increased $35.4 million from June 30, 1997, as
sales during June 1998 were higher than those of December 1997, excluding IWESA,
due to the traditional holiday shutdown. In addition, because June only has 30
days, customer payments which would have been received on the 31st day of the
month were received on the first day of the third quarter. Depreciation and
amortization expense was $19.2 million. The Company's investing activities for
the first six months of 1998 provided cash of $7.8 million. This includes
proceeds of $23.0 million on the sale of subsidiaries and $1.4 million on the
sale of fixed assets. Offsetting cash provided were additions to property, plant
and equipment of $16.9 million and investment in joint venture of $2.0 million.
Financing activities used cash of $20.0 million for the year through June 30,
1998. A portion of the cash generated from operations was used to reduce bank
borrowings $21.8 million from the end of 1997. The Company received $3.9 million
from the exercise of stock options and paid $2.0 million in dividends during the
first six months of 1998.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $3.2 million at June 30, 1998 from $7.0
million at December 31, 1997. The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.04 per
share ($1.0 million in aggregate) for the holders of record on September 1,
1998.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

SALES. Sales in the second quarter of 1998 were $219.9 million compared to
$210.9 million during the same period in 1997, an increase of 4.2%. Sales during
the first six months of 1998 increased 5.6% to $443.9 million versus $420.4
million for the same six-month period in 1997. Domestic foundry sales during the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998 were approximately $13.3 million (or
10.3%) and $20.9 million (or 8.0%) greater than during their respective periods
in 1997. This is a result of an increase in domestic vehicle sales, primarily
light trucks and sport utility vehicles, including Ford PHN131, Mercedes SUV and
Dodge Durango programs. Sales at machining operations, excluding IWESA,
decreased $3.6 million and $4.0 million for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1997. This
decrease occurred primarily because these operations have experienced a drop in
customer requirements on certain products. With the inclusion of IWESA,
machining sales decreased $1.5 million and increased $4.9 million for the three
and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to the same
periods in 1997. European foundry sales have increased over the prior year due
to an improved vehicle market. The negative effect of changes in the exchange
rates on sales in Europe was $1.3 million (or 4.7%) and $3.6 million (or 6.6%)
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared
to exchange rates for the same periods in 1997.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 was $31.5
million, an increase of $3.2 million from that of the same period in 1997. Gross
profit for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $61.5 million versus $55.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of
sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 were 14.3% and 13.8%,
respectively, compared to 13.4% and 13.3% for the respective corresponding
periods in 1997. Without the IWESA operations, gross profit as a percentage of
sales would be almost 0.7% higher for the second quarter of 1998 versus the
second quarter of 1997.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES. Other operating expenses as a percentage of sales were
4.4% and 3.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Other operating expenses as a percentage of sales for the six-month periods
ending June 30, 1998 and 1997 was 3.9% and 3.7%. The increase in these costs
during 1998 relates to the write off of the Company's receivables from IWESA.
Without the write off of the receivables, the other operating expenses as a
percentage of sales would have been 3.7% and 3.6% for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $2.9 million and $6.3 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, and $3.1 million and
$6.1 million for the same periods in 1997.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

During the second quarter of 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with
Portuguese Grupo Jorge de Mello, creating a joint venture company called
PortCast-Fundicao Nodular, S.A. ("PortCast"). PortCast is located in Porto,
Portugal and increases foundry capacity in Europe. The Company spent $2.0
million of capital toward its investment in a 50% equity interest in PortCast.
The Company has managerial control and the ability to increase its ownership
interest.

In June 1998, the Company sold its Industrial Powder Coatings, Inc. subsidiary
("IPC"). IPC was purchased as part of the Sudbury acquisition in December 1996.

twelve months of 1997 and for the first six months of 1998.

During the second quarter of 1998, IWESA GmbH ("IWESA") entered bankruptcy
proceedings and continues to operate under the protection of a bankruptcy
referee. The Company had purchased a 49% equity investment in IWESA in late
1996. The Company's ownership of IWESA increased to 82.4% during 1997 and IWESA
was consolidated at the end of 1997. As a result of the bankruptcy proceedings,
the Company's consolidated financial statements include IWESA's results of
operations only through April 1998 and IWESA is not included in the consolidated
balance sheet at June 30, 1998. IWESA accounted for approximately 2% of the
Company's consolidated sales for 1998 for the first six months ended June 30,
1998.

The effect of the above mentioned disposals had an immaterial impact on the
Company's financial results for the three and six month periods ending June 30,
1998.
