For the six months ended 6/30/01, net sales decreased 7% to $1.46 billion. Net income fell 58% to $29.7 million. Revenues reflect persistent softness in domestic auto production and a drop in industrial production. Earnings also suffered from higher raw material and energy costs and reduced equity income.
