INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
Piper Impact, Inc.
New Albany, Mississippi


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Piper Impact, Inc. (the
"Company"), as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related statements of
earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.


In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Piper Impact, Inc. as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then
ended.

PIPER IMPACT, INC.


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SALE

      Piper Impact, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the business of
      manufacturing impact extrusions from aluminum, magnesium and steel and
      has manufacturing facilities in New Albany, Mississippi and Park City,
      Utah. Its major products include component parts of automotive passive
      restraint systems and computers as well as aluminum and steel cartridge
      casings for use by the United States ("U.S.") military. The Company's
      most significant customer relates to the automotive passive restraint
      systems portion of its business, and constituted approximately
      ninety-percent of its sales in both 1995 and 1994. The Company sells and
      grants credit to customers throughout the U.S.

      The Company was formed on April 1, 1986 by the purchase of the operating
      assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of the Impact Extrusion
      Division of Piper Industries, Inc. for a purchase price which consisted
      solely of notes payable to the seller (Note 5).

      On May 29, 1996, the Company entered into a letter of intent for the
      sale of the Company's assets and assumption of its liabilities ("Net
      Assets") to Quanex Corporation ("Quanex") for an estimated total
      purchase price of approximately $130 million, including assumption of
      the Company's debt and obligations at March 31, 1996 by Quanex. On
      August 9, 1996, the Company's Net Assets were acquired by Quanex for
      approximately $130 million, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement
      among the Company and Quanex. The Company's liabilities assumed by
      Quanex included an estimated $20 million for specified environmental
      remediation (Note 7). Additionally, the notes payable outstanding were 
      repaid at closing (Note 5).

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      INCOME TAXES - Effective April 1, 1991 Piper Impact, Inc. (the
      "Company"), with the consent of its stockholders, elected to be an S
      corporation. The Company is not subject to federal income taxes due to
      the subchapter S election, but the stockholders are taxed on their
      proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. As the Company
      meets all requirements for treatment as an S Corporation, no provision
      or liability is included in the financial statements.

      Since Mississippi recognizes the subchapter S election, the Company is
      not subject to Mississippi income tax but the stockholders are also
      taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's Mississippi taxable
      income. The Company incurs state income taxes in Tennessee and Utah.
      Such taxes totaled $186,678 and $185,721 during the years ended December
      31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

      CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of the statement of cash flows,
      the Company considers highly liquid investments purchased with a
      maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash
      equivalents are comprised as follows:

</TABLE>


      Short-term investments consist of $6,046,000 and $6,892,000 at December
      31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, in overnight investments in U.S.
      Government and Agency obligations which were sold on January 3, 1996 and
      January 3, 1995, respectively, and $4,650,000 at December 31, 1995 in
      Nuveen preferred municipal bond funds which have a seven day maturity.
      These investments, due to their high liquidity, are included in cash and
      are valued at cost plus any accrued interest.

      MARKETABLE DEBT SECURITIES - Marketable debt securities represent
      investments of excess cash in pre-refunded municipal bonds with maturity
      dates ranging from 1996 to 2010. The Company records these investments
      at cost including premium or discounts paid. Premium or discount is
      amortized using the yield to maturity method. Premium amortization
      totaled $8,029 during 1995 and was recorded as an offset to interest
      income. There was no discount amortization during 1995 and no premium or
      discount amortization during 1994.

      INVENTORY - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Costs
      related to substantially all manufacturing inventories are determined by
      the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method (Note 3).

      PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and equipment items are
      carried at cost and depreciated using the straight line method as
      follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                           YEARS

               Buildings and improvements                  19-40
               Machinery and equipment                     3-12
               Office furniture and fixtures               5-7
               Automobiles                                 3-5
</TABLE>


      Expenditures which materially increase values or extend useful lives are
      capitalized while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not
      improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged against
      income as incurred.

      Depreciation  charged to cost of sales was $2,537,706 and  $1,950,878 for 
      the years ended  December 31,  1995 and 1994, respectively.




                                     -6-
<PAGE>   9
      GOODWILL - The cost in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired
      resulted from the purchase of assets from Piper Industries, Inc. (Note
      1). Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years.
      Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 is $3,272,638
      and $2,936,983, respectively. The Company evaluates any possible
      impairment of goodwill using estimates of undiscounted future cash
      flows.

      REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company recognizes a sale at the time of
      shipment and delivery of the related goods. Revenues billed to customers
      in advance of the shipping date are deferred and recorded as a current
      liability.

      BAD DEBTS - The Company provides for bad debts by writing off accounts
      that are considered uncollectible. There were no bad debts during 1995
      and 1994.

      USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of the financial statements requires
      management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
      amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
      and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
      amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
      results could differ from those estimates.

      ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES - Expenditures that relate to current
      operations are expensed or capitalized, as appropriate. Expenditures
      that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and
      which do not contribute to future revenues, are expensed. Liabilities
      are recorded when remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be
      reasonably estimated (Note 7).

      INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The Company's interim financial
      statements are unaudited, but include all adjustments which the Company
      deems necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and
      results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
      nature. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
      indicative of results to be expected for the full year. All significant
      accounting policies for these financial statements conform to those set
      forth above for the audited financial statements for the years ended
      December 31, 1995 and 1994.

3.    INVENTORIES

      The Company values its inventories at the lower of cost (FIFO method) or
      market. Inventories are summarized as follows:

      reduction agreement. The Company makes matching contributions in an
      amount equal to 25% of the first 6% of the participant's compensation

      to affected facilities and equipment, and other compliance expenditures.
      The estimated range of costs is $15 million to $25 million of which the
      accrual represents management's best estimate of total costs expected to
      be incurred. Actual expenditures could differ from current estimates as
      additional studies are completed and revisions to the remediation and
      restoration plan are required.

      plant is located for $750 per year. This lease runs for approximately 70

9.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


      The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash and cash
      equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable and accounts
      payable approximate the respective fair values due to the short
      maturities of those instruments. The fair value for marketable debt
      securities is based upon quoted market prices for those instruments. The
      carrying value of all debt instruments approximates fair value except
      for the $11,691,552 note and the $4,500,000 line of credit note (Note 5)
      which have been estimated by computing the present value using the prime
      rate of 8.5% at December 31, 1995. A comparison of the carrying value of
      those financial instruments, none of which are held for trading
      purposes, is as follows:

</TABLE>


      The estimated fair values above have been determined by the Company
      using appropriate valuation methodologies and information available to
      management at the time. Considerable judgment is required in developing
      these estimates and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that the
      estimated values presented herein are indicative of the amounts that
      would be realized in a free market exchange.

                 Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 (Unaudited)



On August 9, 1996, Quanex Corporation ("the Company") acquired the assets of
Piper Impact, Inc. ("Piper"), net of various liabilities, for approximately
$130 million in cash, cash equivalents, and notes.  To finance the acquisition,
the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit/term loan facility with
a group of five banks which provides for the borrowing of up to $250 million. 
This agreement replaced the Company's $75 million revolving credit facility.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the
twelve months ended October 31, 1995 and the nine months ended July 31, 1996
give effect to the purchase by the Company of the net assets of Piper as if the
acquisition and related financing occurred on November 1, 1994 (the beginning
of fiscal 1995).  The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet
as of July 31, 1996 gives effect to the purchase of Piper as if the acquisition
and related financing occurred as of that date.

The pro forma financial information is based on the historical consolidated
financial statements of the Company and the historical financial statements of
Piper and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and
accompanying notes.  Piper's historical statements of income are for the year
ended December 31, 1995 and the nine months ended July 31, 1996.  Net sales and
income from continuing operations for the two months ended December 31, 1995 of
$20,289,000 and $4,323,000, respectively, have been included in the results of
operations for both the year ended December 31, 1995 and the nine months ended
July 31, 1996.  The purchase method of accounting was used to prepare the pro
forma financial statements using estimated fair values of the net assets.  The
purchase accounting adjustments to reflect the fair values of the net assets
were based on management's evaluation as of this filing date and are subject to
change pending final evaluation of the fair values of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed.

The pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative of either
a) the results of operations which would have actually been obtained if the
acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated, or b) the results of operations
which will be reported in the future.

     The purchase accounting adjustments to reflect the fair value of the net
     assets were based on management's evaluation as of this filing date and
     are subject to change pending final evaluation of the assets acquired and
     liabilities assumed. It is not expected that the final allocation of
     purchase price will produce materially different results from those
     presented herein.

     To finance the acquisition, the Company entered into an unsecured
     revolving credit/term loan facility which provides for the borrowing of up
     to $250 million. This agreement replaced the Company's $75 million
     revolving credit facility. In September 1996, the Company increased its
     borrowings under the agreement from $30 million to $150 million in order
     to liquidate approximately $120 million in short-term notes used to
     partially fund the acquisition. Approximately $5 million of the
     balance of the purchase price is payable during the first quarter of
     fiscal 1996, with the remaining balance payable in the year 2004.

     The Company recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the
     purchase price allocation.

     Intercompany receivables and payables between MacSteel Division of the
     Company and Piper have been eliminated.

(2)  At closing, the Company retired existing Piper notes payable of
     $16,724,000 and paid $2,000,000 in cash toward the purchase price.

Income Statement
- ----------------

(1)  To eliminate intercompany sales between MacSteel Division of the Company
     and Piper.

(2)  To adjust depreciation expense from $2,538,000 to $7,285,000 in 1995, and
     from $1,960,000 to $5,463,000 in 1996, respectively, based upon the
     estimated fair value of the assets over the estimated useful lives ranging
     from 3 to 25 years.

(3)  To adjust Piper's officers compensation expense to reflect current terms
     of employment.

(4)  To eliminate Piper's interest expense on debt repaid and record interest
     expense at 8%, which approximates the interest rate in effect during the
     periods presented, on the approximately $130 million borrowed to finance
     the purchase of Piper.

(5)  To adjust the historical goodwill amortization expense of Piper based on
     the goodwill resulting from the acquisition on a straight line basis over
     a 25 year period.

(6)  Piper Impact, Inc. was not subject to federal income taxes due to its
     subchapter S status. This entry is to adjust the consolidated effective
     total tax rate to 42%.
