             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                         NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000

1.       Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of McClain
         Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
         financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
         10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such Statements do not include
         all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
         accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
         of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring items
         considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
         Operating results for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2000 are not
         necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
         ending September 30, 2000. For further information, refer to the
         Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the
         Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,
         1999.

2.       Inventories

         Inventories at June 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 are summarized as
         follows:

3.       Earnings per Common Share and Common Equivalent Share:

         Earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of
         common shares outstanding during the periods, including a dual
         presentation and reconciliation of "basic" and "diluted" per share
         amounts. Diluted reflects the potential dilution of all common stock
         equivalents. For the periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 options to
         purchase 239,665 and 183,339 shares, respectively, were excluded from
         the computation of earnings per share because the options' exercise
         prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

4.       Depreciation

         For the nine months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, depreciation charges
         were $2,140,958 and $2,096,308, respectively. Accumulated depreciation
         totaled $23,047,879 and $21,046,447 at June 30, 2000 and September 30,
         1999, respectively.

5.       Contingencies

         Product Liability

         As a manufacturer of industrial products, the Company is occasionally
         subjected to various product liability claims. Such claims typically
         involve personal injury or wrongful death associated with the use or
         misuse of the Company's products. The Company is currently defending
         certain legal proceedings involving allegations of product liability
         relating to products manufactured and sold by the Company.
         Historically, such claims have not resulted in material losses to the
         Company in any one year, and the Company maintains product liability
         insurance in amounts believed by management to be adequate.

         McClain E-Z Pack, Inc., as successor to Galion Holding Company (GHC),
         pursuant to an indemnification it provided to the seller in connection
         with GHC's July 1992 acquisition of the Galion operations, is currently
         defending a number of legal proceedings involving product liability
         claims arising out of products manufactured and sold prior to the
         acquisition. These claims are covered by insurance and many of these
         cases have been settled. In addition, the acquisition agreement called
         for the seller to share in the payment of certain costs related to the
         defense of these cases. On December 29, 1998 the Company reached a
         settlement agreement with the seller, the terms of which called for the
         Company to release the seller from its obligations related to product
         liability claims under the Galion acquisition agreement in exchange for
         a cash payment of $1,050,000.

         A reserve to provide for these product claims was established at the
         acquisition date. Since many of the cases have been settled and
         insurance coverage exists, management believes that the ongoing costs
         to defend these claims will not exceed the amount accrued on the
         accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2000. Nevertheless,
         it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of any product
         liability claim, and any such claim not fully covered by insurance, as
         well as adverse publicity from a product claim, could have a material
         adverse effect on the Company.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                         NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000


         Environmental Matters

         The Company's operations are subject to extensive federal, state and
         local regulation under environmental laws and regulations concerning,
         among other things, emissions into the air, discharges into the waters
         and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and
         disposal of waste and other materials. Inherent in manufacturing
         operations and in owning real estate is the risk of environmental
         liabilities as a result of both current and past operations, which
         cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company has incurred and will
         continue to incur costs, on an ongoing basis, associated with
         environmental regulatory compliance in its business.

         Labor Union Matters

         Certain of the Company's hourly employees are represented by various
         labor unions pursuant to collective bargaining agreements which expire
         between June 2000 and June 2003.

         On February 23, 1995, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)
         conducted an election in response to a petition filed by a local union
         (Union) to represent the hourly employees at the Company's Macon,
         Georgia plant. The ballots of certain employees were challenged as
         ineligible. The Union filed charges asserting that the Company
         committed various unfair labor practices, which affected the election
         results, and that the challenged ballots should be counted. On October
         17, 1996, the NLRB upheld the unfair labor practice charges and on
         November 5, 1996, the NLRB determined that the results of the election
         were in favor of the Union. The Company continues to vigorously defend
         against the unfair labor practice allegations. The Company does not
         believe a final decision upholding the Union certification or the
         unfair labor practice charges would have a material adverse effect on
         the Company. The Company believes that relations with the hourly
         employees at McClain of Georgia are generally satisfactory. There have
         been no work stoppages due to labor difficulties.

         Other Legal Matters

         The Company is also involved in routine litigation incidental to its
         business. Management believes that the resolution of these matters will
         not materially affect the consolidated financial statements.

6.       Year 2000 Compliance

         The Company did not experience any significant disruptions in its
         operation that were related to the Year 2000 issue.


7.       Segment Information

         The Company operates in three principal operating segments 1)
         Manufactured Equipment, 2) Truck Chassis Sales, and 3) Leasing
         Operations. Management evaluates the performance of its operating
         segments separately to individually monitor the different factors
         affecting performance. The Company measures the performance of its
         operating segments based on net revenue and operating income. Income
         taxes are managed on a Company-wide basis. Segment performance is also
         evaluated based on profit or loss before income taxes.

                 DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                  Net sales decreased 5.4% to $40.6 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 (Quarter 2000) from $42.9 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1999 (Quarter 1999). The decrease was due primarily to slower sales by the
Company's McClain E-Z Pack division. Sales for McClain E-Z Pack decreased 17.3%
or $1.6 million for the Quarter 2000 from the Quarter 1999. Sales of the
Company's other product lines were flat for the Quarter 2000 compared to the
Quarter 1999. The sales of the McClain Truck division accounted for 18.7% of the
Company's sales for the Quarter 2000 compared to 17.4% of the Company's sales
for the Quarter 1999.

         Cost of goods sold increased to 83.25% for the Quarter 2000 from 82.20%
for the Quarter 1999. The gross profit margin on manufactured products decreased
to 19.1% for the Quarter 2000 compared to 20.0% for the Quarter 1999. The gross
profit margin for the McClain Truck division decreased to 6.5% for the Quarter
2000 from 8.1% for the Quarter 1999 due to tighter margins on the dump truck
chassis sold by the Company that result from continued softness in the dump
truck market.

         Selling, General & Administrative Expenses increased to 12.38% of net
sales for the Quarter 2000 from 10.61% of net sales for the Quarter 1999 due
primarily to lower sales.

         Net Income for the quarter decreased to .86% of sales for the quarter
2000 from 3.17% for the quarter 1999. This decrease was due primarily to the
additional interest costs of carrying the increased debt necessary to fund the
Company's expanded truck inventory and increased health insurance costs. For
further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended September 30, 1999.

         Net sales increased 6.5% to $108.6 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2000 (nine months 2000) from $101.9 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 1999 (nine months 1999). The increase was due primarily to strong sales
by the Company's McClain Commodities and McClain Truck divisions. Sales for
McClain Commodities increased 11.6% or $4.4 million for the nine months 2000
over the nine months 1999, while McClain Truck sales increased 13.5% or $2.6
million during the nine months 2000 compared to the nine months 1999. Sales of
the Company's other product lines were flat for the nine months 2000 compared to
the nine months 1999. The sales of the McClain truck division accounted for
19.9% of the Company's sales for the nine months 2000 compared to 18.7% of the
Company's sales for the nine months 1999.

         Cost of goods sold increased to 82.6% for the nine months ended June
2000 from 82.1% for the nine months ended June 1999 due primarily to the higher
percentage of truck sales discussed previously. The gross profit margin on
manufactured products increased to 21.2% for

                                    13 of 15

<PAGE>   14

the nine months 2000 compared to 20.5% for the nine months 1999. This increase
is the result of increased production, providing overhead reductions at certain
of the Company's manufacturing facilities. The gross profit margin for the
McClain Truck division decreased to 2.3% for the nine months 2000 from 7.0% for
the nine months 1999 due to tighter margins on the dump truck chassis sold by
the Company that result from continued softness in the dump truck market.

         Selling, General & Administrative Expenses increased to 12.17% of net
sales for the nine months 2000 from 11.79% of net sales for the nine months
1999.

         Net Income for the quarter decreased to 1.5% of sales for the nine
months 2000 from 3.01% for the nine months 1999. This decrease was due primarily
to the additional interest costs of carrying the increased debt necessary to
fund the Company's expanded truck inventory and increased health insurance
costs. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended September 30, 1999.

         The Company had working capital of $62.4 million at June 30, 2000
compared to $58.7 million at September 30, 1999. The ratio of current assets to
current liabilities was 4.13:1 at June 30, 2000 and 2.79:1 at September 30,
1999. The Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.6 million at June 30,
2000. Cash flows used by operations were $2.4 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2000.
