Item 2 - Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On November 30, 2000, pursuant to Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger
("Agreement") dated October 23, 2000, between Quanex Corporation ("Parent" or
"Company"), Quanex Five, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of Parent ("Sub"), and Temroc Metals, Inc., a Minnesota corporation
("Temroc"), the Company completed the merger between Sub and Temroc, whereby
Temroc, as a surviving corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company paid approximately $21 million
in cash for all the Class A and Class B stock of Temroc outstanding on the date
of the merger.

Temroc has production facilities in Hammel, Minnesota, where it manufactures
customized aluminum extrusions and fabricated metal products for recreational
vehicles, architectural products, electronics and other markets. Temroc had net
sales of $26.5 million and $25.9 million, respectively, for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998. It's net sales for the ten-month period ended
October 31, 2000, were $23.8 million. Temroc will become part of the Company's
Engineered Products Group and will continue to operate as a manufacturer of
aluminum extrusions and fabricated metal products.

The purchase price will be allocated to the assets and liabilities of Temroc
based on their estimated fair values. The Company anticipates that the purchase
price and associated acquisition expenses will exceed the fair value of Temroc's
net assets, with the excess to be recorded as goodwill.

To finance the acquisition, the Company borrowed against its existing $250
million unsecured revolving credit and term loan facility with a group of six
banks.
