3.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company continues defending various claims and legal actions arising in
     the normal course of business, including those relating to environmental
     matters. Management believes, based on the advice of counsel, that the
     outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the
     Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or
     liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that existing or future
     litigation will not result in an adverse judgment against the Company which
     could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future results of
     operations or cash flows.

     Metallurg. Metallurg Holdings was formed on June 10, 1998 and is owned by
     Safeguard International (an international private equity fund that invests
     primarily in equity securities of companies in process industries), certain
     limited partners of Safeguard International, certain individuals and a
     private equity fund.

     At the time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Metallurg common
     stock, par value $.01 per share, was converted into the right to receive
     $30 in cash, representing an aggregate cash price of approximately
     $152,200,000 (including payments for cancellation of compensatory options).
     Metallurg Holding's purchase of Metallurg was recorded under the purchase
     method of accounting in accordance with APB Opinion No. 16, "Business
     Combinations". The total value of the transaction, including existing
     indebtedness and environmental, pension and other liabilities, net of cash,
     was approximately $300,000,000. The excess of the purchase price over the
     estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was approximately
     $101,500,000 and is being amortized over a period of 20 years. The purchase
     price allocation is subject to finalization in 1999.

     In order to finance the Merger, (i) Safeguard International and certain of
     its limited partners contributed approximately $97,000,000 of capital to
     Metallurg Holdings (the "Equity Contribution"); and (ii) Metallurg Holdings
     received approximately $62,900,000 net proceeds upon consummation of the
     offering (the "Offering") of $121,000,000 aggregate principal amount at
     maturity of 12 3/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2008 (the "Discount Notes").
     As used herein, the term "Acquisition Transactions" means the Equity
     Contribution, the Offering, the Merger, the Consent Solicitation (as
     defined herein) and the execution of a supplemental indenture to the
     indenture governing Metallurg's 11% Senior Notes due 2007 (the "Senior
     Notes").

     In connection with the Merger, Metallurg received the consents (the
     "Consents Solicitation") of 100% of the registered holders of its Senior
     Notes to a one-time waiver of the change of control provisions of the
     Senior Note Indenture to make such provisions inapplicable to the Merger
     and to amend the definition of "Permitted Holders".

     Merger-related costs of $7,888,000 were incurred, and recorded as expense
     by Metallurg, in the year ended January 31, 1999 and included (a)
     $3,541,000 for payments to cancel compensatory stock options; (b) $625,000
     in consent fees incurred in order to obtain the one-time waiver of the
     change of control provisions of the Senior Note Indenture; (c) $2,822,000
     for payments made pursuant to existing employment agreements with Metallurg
     management and (d) $900,000 of other merger-related costs. Metallurg was
     reimbursed for the compensatory stock option cancellation costs of
     $3,541,000 by a capital contribution from Safeguard International at the
     time of the Merger, which amount is included in Metallurg Holdings'
     acquisition cost. Accordingly, Metallurg Holdings recognized the balance of
     such costs, totaling $4,347,000, in the post-Merger period ended January
     31, 1999.

6.   PRO FORMA RESULTS (UNAUDITED)

     The pro forma information presented below is based upon the historical
     financial statements of Metallurg included elsewhere herein. The pro forma
     information illustrate the estimated effects of (i) the issuance of the
     12-3/4% Senior Discount Notes of Metallurg Holdings due 2008 and (ii) the
     Merger and the transactions related thereto (collectively, the "Pro Forma
     Transactions"), as if these transactions had occurred as of January 31,
     1998.

     The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of either
     the results of operations that would have occurred had the Pro Forma
     Transactions taken place at the beginning of the respective periods or the
     future operating results of the Company.

     This Merger has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
     and accordingly, the results of operations of Metallurg have been included
     in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the date of the
     Merger, July 13, 1998. The cost of the Merger was allocated on the basis of
     the preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities
     assumed. These estimates are being finalized during 1999.

     The pro forma adjustments include the amortization of goodwill over 20
     years, interest expense due to the issuance of the Discount Notes, certain
     overhead expenses and the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments.

7.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
     Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting
     and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
     derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging
     activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
     assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure
     those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal
     quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is
     currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 133 will have on its financial
     statements.

8.   SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

     In November 1997, Metallurg, Inc. issued $100 million principal amount of
     its 11% Senior Notes due 2007. Under the terms of the Senior Notes,
     Shieldalloy Metallurgical Corporation ("Shieldalloy"), Metallurg Holdings
     Corporation, Metallurg Services, Inc., Metallurg International Resources,
     Inc. and MIR (China), Inc. (collectively, the "Guarantors"), wholly owned
     subsidiaries of Metallurg, Inc., have fully and unconditionally guaranteed
     on a joint and several basis Metallurg, Inc.'s obligations to pay
     principal, premium and interest relative to the Senior Notes. Management
     has determined that separate, full financial statements of the Guarantors
     would not be material to potential investors and, accordingly, such
     financial statements are not provided. Supplemental financial information
     of the Guarantors is presented below.

9.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     In June 1999, the Company received proceeds in the amount of $6.5 million
     from an insurance company upon settlement of environmental claims relating
     to periods dating back to the 1960's. These claims relate to historical
     costs of remedial activities at the Company's Newfield, New Jersey site.

    ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain matters discussed under the caption "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Form 10-Q may
constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as such may involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual
results, performance and achievements of the Company to be materially different
from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Factors which may cause the Company's results to be
materially different include the cyclical nature of the Company's business, the
Company's dependence on foreign customers (particularly customers in Europe),
the economic strength of the Company's markets generally and particularly the
strength of the demand for iron, steel, aluminum and superalloys and titanium
alloy industries in those markets, the accuracy of the Company's estimates of
the costs of environmental remediation and the extension or expiration of
existing anti-dumping duties.


OVERVIEW

The industries that Metallurg supplies are cyclical. Throughout 1997 and into
1998, market conditions for most of Metallurg's products were favorable.
However, sales prices and demand for several of Metallurg's major products
declined during the second half of 1998 and into 1999. Metallurg believes that
the declines were the result of economic turmoil seen in Asia, Latin America
and Russia in 1997 and 1998. In the steel industry, this led to lower
production almost everywhere except in the U.S. during the first half of 1998.
In the second half of 1998, Japan, Russia, Brazil and some other Asian
countries exported large volumes of steel to the U.S. causing domestic
production to be drastically curtailed in the latter months of 1998 and into
1999 with only very slow improvement beginning to show towards the end of the
quarter. In addition, civilian airliner production in 1998 did not reach the
levels forecast by a major producer, and the economic turmoil already mentioned
caused postponements and cancellation of orders for airliners as trans-Pacific
and Asian air passenger volumes fell sharply. These factors contributed to
lower sales of products to the superalloy and titanium alloy industries, which
had been left holding vastly excessive inventories of their aerospace related
products. The aluminum industry had sustained satisfactory levels of demand for
the Company's products throughout 1998, as this has continued in 1999.

As Metallurg Holdings is a holding company and does not have any material
operations or asets other than the ownership of Metallurg, the following
discussion of the Company's results of operations relates to Metallurg, unless
otherwise indicated.


METALLURG HOLDINGS' RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30, 1999

The net loss, which is discussed in the following section of $12.2 million
includes the consolidation of Metallurg, Inc. (a loss of $8.5 million),
$2.2 million of interest expense on its Senior Discount Notes, $1.4 million of
amortization of acquisition, goodwill and deferred issuance costs and $0.1
million of general overhead costs.


METALLURG INC.'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Metallurg operates in one significant industry segment, the manufacture and sale
of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys. Metallurg is organized
geographically, having established a worldwide sales network built around
Metallurg's core production facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom
and Germany.

</TABLE>


Total Revenues

Total revenues decreased from $167.8 million in the quarter ended April 30, 1998
to $117.8 million in the quarter ended April 30, 1999 due to decreases in the
selling prices and volumes of Metallurg's primary products.

Shieldalloy revenues were $22.8 million (41%) below the first quarter of 1998.
As a result of the negative developments in the steel industry, the market price
of ferrovanadium, a significant product for Shieldalloy, declined from
approximately $13.75 per pound during April 1998 to approximately $5.25 per
pound during April 1999. Decreased volume and selling prices of ferrovanadium
during the first quarter of 1999 resulted in a revenue decrease of approximately
$10.0 million. Volume and selling prices of ferrosilicon, chrome metal and low
carbon ferrochrome also declined in 1999.

The developments in the aerospace industry led to a reduction in superalloy and
titanium alloy demand that impacted negatively on price, and particularly on
volumes, of Metallurg's specialty low carbon ferrochrome, chromium and vanadium
aluminum products. As a result of negative developments in the steel and
aerospace industries, LSM total revenues were $11.2 million (24%) below the
first quarter of 1998 due primarily to decreased volume of ferrotitanium and
chromium metal sales. GfE total revenues were $8.6 million (27%) below 1998 due
primarily to decreased selling prices and volumes of vanadium aluminum and
ferrovanadium. Total revenues of EWW were $6.4 million (42%) below the first
quarter of 1998 due primarily to reduced demand for low carbon ferrochrome.

Gross Margins

Total gross margin decreased from $28.8 million in the quarter ended April 30,
1998 to $9.8 million in the quarter ended April 30, 1999, a decrease of 66.1%,
due principally to price and volume decreases in ferrovanadium, ferrotitanium
and chromium. In addition, Shieldalloy recognized a lower of cost or market
adjustment of $3.6 million relating to ferrovanadium in 1999. In aluminum master
alloys and compacted products, a decrease in volume was more than offset by
improvements in product mix and cost reductions. Gross margins of low carbon
ferrochrome declined in 1999, resulting from lower selling prices and less
favorable product mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased slightly from
$14.8 million in the quarter ended April 30, 1998 to $14.4 million in the
quarter ended April 30, 1999. For the quarter ended April 30, 1998, SG&A
represented 8.8% of the Company's sales compared to 12.2% for the quarter ended
April 30, 1999, as a result of decreased revenues.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased from $14.1 million in the quarter ended April 30,
1998 to a loss of $4.6 million in the quarter ended April 30, 1999, due to the
decrease in gross margin, discussed above.

Other Income, Net

In March 1998, Metallurg sold its minority investment in a Luxemburg affiliate
and realized a gain of approximately $0.9 million.

The differences between the statutory Federal income tax rate and Metallurg's
effective rate result primarily because of: (i) the U.S. taxability of foreign
dividends; (ii) the excess of foreign tax rates over the statutory Federal
income tax rate; (iii) certain deductible temporary differences which, in other
circumstances would have generated a deferred tax benefit, have been fully
provided for in a valuation allowance; (iv) the deferred tax effects of certain
tax assets, primarily foreign net operating losses, for which the benefit had
been previously recognized approximating $0.2 million in the quarter ended April
30, 1999; and (v) the deferred tax effects of certain deferred tax assets for
which a corresponding credit has been recorded to "Additional paid-in capital"
approximating $0.3 million in the quarter ended April 30, 1999. The deferred tax
expenses referred to in items (iv) and (v) above will not result in cash
payments in future periods.

Net Income

Net income decreased from $6.8 million for the quarter ended April 30, 1998 to a
loss of $8.5 million for the quarter ended April 30, 1999. The decrease in 1999
results primarily from reduced gross margins and increased interest expense, as
noted above.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES OF THE COMPANY

General

The Company's sources of liquidity include cash from operations and amounts
available under credit facilities. The Company believes that these sources are
sufficient to fund the current and anticipated future requirements of working
capital, capital expenditures, pension benefits, potential acquisitions and
environmental expenditures through at least January 31, 2000.

At April 30, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $41.0 million
and working capital of $155.4 million. Metallurg had cash and cash equivalents
of $39.9 million and working capital of $154.2 million, as compared to $37.3
million and $166.2 million, respectively, at January 31, 1999. For the first
quarter of 1999, the Company generated $4.7 million in cash from operations.
Capital expenditures approximated $2.3 million in the first quarter of 1999.


Credit Facilities and Other Financing Arrangements

Metallurg, Inc. has a credit facility with certain financial institutions led by
BankBoston, N.A. as agent (the "Revolving Credit Facility") which provides
Metallurg, Inc., Shieldalloy and certain of their subsidiaries with up to $50.0
million of financing resources at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate
Base Rate plus 1.0% per annum (the Alternate Base Rate is the greater of the
Base Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%) or (ii) the reserve
adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 2.5% for interest periods of one, two or three
months. The Revolving Credit Facility permits borrowings of up to $50.0 million
for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, up to $30.0
million of which may be used for letters of credit in the U.S. At April 30,
1999, there were no outstanding loans and $25.1 million of letters of credit
outstanding in the U.S. under the Revolving Credit Facility. On October 20,
1997, BankBoston, N.A., through its Frankfurt office, made available up to DM
20.5 million (approximately $11.3 million) of financing to certain of its German
subsidiaries (the "German Subfacility"), which is guaranteed by Metallurg, Inc.
and the other U.S. borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility. At April 30,
1999, no loans were outstanding in Germany under this Facility.

In addition, certain foreign subsidiaries of Metallurg have credit facility
arrangements with local banking institutions to provide funds for working
capital and general corporate purposes. These local credit facilities contain
restrictions that vary from company to company. At April 30, 1999, there were
$4.5 million of outstanding loans under these local credit facilities.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Metallurg invested $2.3 million in capital expenditures during the first quarter
of 1999. Capital expenditures are expected to total approximately $18.0 million
in 1999. Although Metallurg has budgeted these items in 1999, Metallurg has not
committed to complete these projects which are contingent on senior management
approval and other conditions. Metallurg believes that these projects will be
funded through internally generated cash, borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Facility and local credit lines.

ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION COSTS

AICPA Statement of Position 96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities",
requires that losses associated with environmental remediation obligations are
accrued when such losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. Such
accruals generally are recognized no later than the completion of the remedial
feasibility study and are adjusted as further information develops or
circumstances change. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation
obligations are generally not discounted by the Company to their present value.
During the first quarter of 1999, Metallurg expended $0.7 million for
environmental remediation.


                                       19

In 1997, Shieldalloy entered into settlement agreements with various
environmental regulatory authorities with regard to all of the significant
environmental remediation liabilities of which it is aware. Pursuant to these
agreements, Shieldalloy has agreed to perform environmental remediation which,
as of April 30, 1999, had an estimated cost of completion of $36.7 million. Of
this amount, approximately $2.9 million is expected to be expended in the last
three quarters of 1999, $5.7 million in 2000 and $7.4 million in 2001. In
addition, Metallurg estimates it will make expenditures of $4.3 million with
respect to environmental remediation at its foreign facilities. Of this amount,
approximately $1.9 million is expected to be expended in the last three quarters
of 1999, $0.9 million in 2000 and $0.8 million in 2001.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

Metallurg has completed an internal review of its and its subsidiaries'
information technology systems in connection with its assessment of Year 2000
readiness and is in the process of replacing or modifying some of the management
and accounting systems at its subsidiaries to upgrade them generally and to make
them Year 2000 ready. Metallurg expects to spend between $1.0 million and $2.0
million on these systems changes. Metallurg expects that the information
technology systems for all of its subsidiaries will be Year 2000 ready by August
31, 1999 and a substantial percentage has been completed to date. Those systems
that are not being replaced are being, or have been, modified by Metallurg
personnel to assure that they are Year 2000 ready. Accordingly, no additional
cost has been recognized for such internal upgrades. Metallurg is currently
assessing whether any of its non-information technology will need to be modified
to become Year 2000 ready.

Metallurg has not received written assurances from its significant suppliers and
customers to determine the state of their readiness with regard to Year 2000.
Metallurg believes that they will be prepared for Year 2000 based on its normal
interactions with its customers and suppliers and because of the wide attention
that the issue has received. Metallurg has not yet seen the need for contingency
plans for the Year 2000 issue, but this need will continue to be monitored as it
obtains more information about the state of readiness of its suppliers and
customers.

Metallurg presently believes that the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant
operational problems for its business systems as it believes that all needed
modifications and conversions will be timely made. If any of Metallurg's
suppliers or customers do not, or if Metallurg itself does not, successfully
deal with the Year 2000 issue, Metallurg could experience delays in receiving or
shipping products and in receiving payments. The severity of these possible
problems would depend on the nature of the problem and how quickly it could be
corrected or an alternative implemented, which is unknown at this time.

The anticipated costs for Metallurg to become Year 2000 ready and the
anticipated timing to complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on
management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions
of future events, including timely performance by third parties who will provide
Metallurg with the software for its new systems. However, there can be no
guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such
material differences include, but are not limited to, the ability to locate and
correct all relevant computer codes, the ability to successfully integrate new
business systems with existing operations and similar uncertainties. Some risks
of the Year 2000 issue are beyond the control of Metallurg and its suppliers and
customers. In particular, Metallurg cannot predict the effect that the Year 2000
issue will have on the general economy.
