PART I
------

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
- - -----------------
Amcast Industrial Corporation, an Ohio corporation organized in 1869, and
its subsidiaries (called collectively "Amcast" or the "company") are engaged in
the business of producing fabricated metal products, valves and controls, and
cast and tubular metal products, in a variety of shapes, sizes, and metals for
sale to end users directly and through sales representatives and distributor
organizations and to original equipment manufacturers. Manufacturing
facilities are located in five states, primarily in the eastern half of the
United States. The company's business operations are conducted through three
divisions and nine wholly-owned subsidiaries. Its subsidiaries include Amcast
Industrial Ltd., an Ontario, Canada corporation; Elkhart Products Corporation
(Elkhart), an Indiana corporation; WheelTek, Inc. (WheelTek), an Indiana
corporation; Amcast Industrial Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation;
Amcast Automotive, Inc. (formerly Midwest Marketing Services Corporation), a
Michigan corporation; Amcast Industrial Financial Services, Inc., an Ohio
corporation; Amcast Industrial Sales Corporation, a U.S. Virgin Islands
corporation; Amcast Casting Technologies, Inc., an Indiana Corporation and
Amcast Precision Products, Inc., a California corporation. During fiscal 1992,
Amcast and Izumi Industries, Ltd. of Japan, formed a joint venture, Casting
Technology Corporation. Amcast owns 60% of the joint venture. In 1994, the
joint venture was converted to a partnership, Casting Technology Company.

During the fourth quarter of 1993, the company elected early adoption,
effective September 1, 1992, of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions". This statement requires companies to record a liability for
employees' accumulated postretirement benefit costs and to recognize on-going
expenses on an accrual basis. The company recognized a $6,159 pretax
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle, which represents the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of September 1, 1992. The
effect on net income and shareholders' equity was $3,942, or $.47 per share.
The impact on fiscal year 1993 operating results, due to the adoption of SFAS
106, was not material. See Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance
footnote of the company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended
August 31, 1994, Exhibit 13.1, page 52 herein.

Effective August 31, 1992, the company's Board of Directors approved a
plan to divest Stanley G. Flagg & Co. (Flagg), a manufacturer of iron and brass
pipe fittings, previously reported as part of the Flow Control Products
segment. This action was prompted by unprofitable operations that were plagued
by industry overcapacity and weak demand in the iron pipe fittings product
line. The company made a pretax provision of $22 million based on the expected
proceeds of this divestiture. A significant portion of the Flagg assets,
relating to the iron and pole line hardware businesses, have been sold and,
although operating losses, until disposition, are greater than originally
estimated, the loss on the sale of assets and estimated liabilities are
expected to be less than the amounts initially provided. Annual sales and
results of the remaining brass business are not material to the company. At
August 31, 1994, the company believes that it has provided adequately for the
effect of the disposal of the remaining assets of Flagg and the operating
losses through the date of disposal. See Discontinued Operation footnote of
the company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended August 31, 1994,
Exhibit 13.1, page 42 herein.

The company operates in two business segments--1) Flow Control Products
and (2) Engineered Components. Information concerning the net sales, operating
profit and identifiable assets of each segment for fiscal years 1992 through
1994 appears under "Business Segments" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in the company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended
August 31, 1994, Exhibit 13.1, page 56 herein. Amcast has no foreign
manufacturing operations and export sales to customers in foreign countries are
not material.

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS (cont'd)
- - -----------------
FLOW CONTROL PRODUCTS
- - ---------------------
The Flow Control Products segment (Flow Control) includes the business of
the Superior Valve division (Superior Valve), the Elkhart subsidiary, and
Amcast Industrial Ltd. Superior Valve, acquired in October 1986, manufactures
valves and accessories used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems, and
compressed gas cylinder valves for the welding, specialty, carbonic, and
medical gas industries. Elkhart, acquired in July 1983, produces wrot copper
fittings for use in residential and commercial water systems and markets bronze
pipe fittings and valves. Amcast Industrial Ltd. is the common Canadian
marketing arm for Amcast's Flow Control segment manufacturing units.

The company's Flow Control business is a leading supplier of pipe
fittings for the industrial, commercial, and residential construction markets,
valves utilized in air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, and industrial
compressed gas applications. These products are sold through distributors and
wholesalers. Shipments are made by truck from company locations directly to
customers. The competition is comprised of a number of manufacturers of parts
for air conditioning, refrigeration, and plumbing systems, gas meters, and
valves and controls. The company believes that competition in this segment is
based on a number of factors including product quality, service, delivery, and
value.

Most of the Flow Control business is based on customer purchase orders
for their current product requirements and such orders are filled from company
inventory. Orders are not considered firm beyond a 90-day period.

See Properties at Item 2 of this report for information on the company's
facilities which operate in this segment.

ENGINEERED COMPONENTS
- - ---------------------
The Engineered Components segment produces cast and fabricated metal
products principally for sale to original equipment manufacturers in the
transportation, construction, air conditioning, refrigeration, and
aviation/defense industries. The company's manufacturing processes involve the
melting of raw materials for casting into metal products having the
configuration, flexibility, strength, weight, and finish required for the
customer's end use. The company also custom fabricates copper and aluminum
tubing parts. The company manufactures products on a high-volume,
medium-volume, and specialized basis and its metal capabilities include
aluminum, steel, brass, and copper. Products manufactured by this segment
include castings for suspension, air conditioning and anti-lock braking
systems, master cylinders, differential carriers and cast aluminum wheels for
use on automobiles and light trucks; and parts for use in heating and air
conditioning systems. The company also designs and manufactures close-tolerance
aluminum and specialty steel investment castings and related items for sale to
aviation and aerospace companies. Delivery is mostly by truck from Amcast
locations directly to customers.

Amcast is not solely dependent on a single customer. However, a
significant portion of the company's Engineered Components business is directly
or indirectly dependent on the major automobile manufacturers. The company's
net sales to various divisions of General Motors Corporation in fiscal 1994
were $89.3 million. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of
consolidated sales in fiscal 1994.

The company's non-aerospace business of the Engineered Components segment
is on a "blanket" order basis and is generally based on supplying a percentage
of the customer's annual requirements for a particular part. Customers issue
firm releases and shipping schedules each month against their blanket orders
depending on their current needs. As a result, order backlog varies from month
to month and is not considered firm beyond a 30-day period. Amcast believes
that price, product quality, and delivery are the principal bases of
competition within the industry.

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS (cont'd)
- - -----------------
ENGINEERED COMPONENTS (cont'd)
- - ---------------------
The order backlog of the aviation and aerospace business was $23.4
million at August 31, 1994, and $25.5 million at August 31, 1993. Backlog at
August 31, 1994, is expected to result in revenue of $12.3 million during
fiscal 1995.

See Properties at Item 2 of this report for information on the company's
facilities which operate in this segment.

GENERAL INFORMATION
- - -------------------
Raw materials essential to the business are purchased from suppliers
located in the general vicinity of each operating facility. Availability of
these materials is judged to be adequate. The company does not anticipate any
material shortage that will alter production schedules during the coming year.

Amcast owns a number of patents and patent applications relating to the
design of its products. While Amcast considers, in the aggregate, these
patents are important to operations, it believes that the successful
manufacture and sale of its products generally depend more on the company's
technological know-how and manufacturing skills.

Capital expenditures related to compliance with federal, state, and local
environmental protection regulations for fiscal 1995 and 1996 are not expected
to be material. Management believes that operating costs related to
environmental protection will not have a materially adverse effect on future
earnings or the company's competitive position in the industry.

The number of persons employed by the continuing operations of Amcast
averaged 2,100 in fiscal 1994 and 1,900 in both fiscal 1993 and 1992.

No material portion of Amcast's business is seasonal.

The land and building in Rancho Cucamonga, California, are leased under a
5-year lease, with a requirement that Amcast purchase the property at the fair
market price at the lease expiration in 1997. The land and building in
Burlington, Ontario, are leased under a 5-year lease expiring in 1995, with an
option to renew the lease for two successive 5-year terms. The land in
Richmond and Gas City, Indiana is leased under 99 year leases, expiring in
2091. The Corporate offices are being leased for five years expiring in 1998.
The Amcast Automotive offices are being leased for five years expiring in the
year 2000, with an option for a five year renewal. All other properties are
owned by the company. The lease at the former Miami, Florida facility was
terminated during fiscal year 1994 and operations were transferred to the
Rancho Cucamonga, California facility.

A portion of the land and building at Fayetteville, Arkansas is subject
to a mortgage in favor of Bank One, Dayton, NA, to secure the payment of a
$5,050,000 bond issue dated December 1, 1991, and maturing December 1, 2004.

The company's operating facilities are in good condition and are suitable
for the company's purposes. Utilization of capacity is dependent upon customer
demand. During fiscal 1994, productive capacity utilization by division ranged
from 58% to 90%, and averaged 78% of the company's total capacity.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- - --------------------------
The company is subject to a range of federal, state and local laws and
regulations governing the discharge of material into the environment or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. The company
periodically makes capital expenditures to meet the requirements of these laws
and regulations; however, the company believes that the anticipated
expenditures for such purposes in the foreseeable future will not be material
to its financial position or its competitive position.

The company, as is normal for the industry in which it operates, is
subject to periodic environmental site investigations and inquiries. The
company has been identified as a potentially responsible party by various state
agencies and by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980, as amended, for costs associated with eight U.S. EPA led multi-party
"superfund" sites and three state environmental agency led remediation sites.
While the company could be found jointly and severally liable at a number of
these sites, the company, in each case, is contesting any responsibility or
believes that its liability will not be material because of the nature of the
waste involved or the limited amount of waste generated by the company which
was allegedly disposed of at these sites. With respect to one such site
located in Ironton, Ohio, another potentially responsible party has brought an
action entitled ALLIED-SIGNAL, INC., V. AMCAST INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION, in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Western Division, Case
No. C-3-92-013, seeking contribution from the company for a portion of the
total response and remediation costs, which the plaintiff has claimed may
exceed $20 million. The company believes that its ultimate equitable share, if
any, of any liability for cleanup costs at this site will not be material.

The company also is a defendant in a lawsuit entitled PUBLIC INTEREST
RESEARCH GROUP, INC., ET AL. V. STANLEY G. FLAGG & CO., ET AL., in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Case No. 89-2137,
which alleges that the content of zinc and other minerals in the waste water
discharged at the company's Stowe, Pennsylvania, facility exceeded the levels
allowed under the applicable permit during the period from October 1984 through
October 1988. The suit seeks the assessment of penalties; however, the company
believes that penalties, if any, should not be material because the discharge
currently is in compliance with the permit.
