         MILASTAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
Flame Metals Processing Corporation which was acquired in May 1985,
Northwest Engineering Labs, Inc. which was acquired in October 1988 and
Milastar Services Corporation.  In consolidation, all significant intercompany
accounts and transactions are eliminated.

  Cash and cash equivalents   The Company considers cash equivalents
to include all investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or
less which have virtually no risk of loss of value of the principal amount of
the investment.

  Marketable securities and other investments   Marketable securities as
of July 31, 1995, consist of equity securities.  The Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (Statement 115) on  May
1, 1994.  Under Statement 115, the Company classifies its debt and equity
securities in one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-
maturity.  Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose
of selling them in the near term.  Held-to-maturity securities are those
securities in which the Company has the ability and intent to hold the security
until maturity. All other securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity
are classified as available-for-sale.  Trading and available-for-sale securities
are recorded fair value.  Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized
cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums of discounts. 
Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in
earnings.  Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities
are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of
stockholders' equity until realized.  Transfers of securities between categories
are recorded at fair value at the date of transfer.  A decline in the market
value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is
deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the
establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

  Property, plant and equipment   Property, plant and equipment are
carried at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. 
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related
depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is reflected
in income for the period.  The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to
income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are
capitalized and deduction is made for retirements resulting from the renewals
or betterments.

  The estimated useful lives of the fixed assets are as follows:

              Buildings                  35 years
              Equipment             5 to 12 years
              Vehicles               3 to 5 years

       Other assets   Other assets are comprised of two five-year non-
competition agreements which are being amortized over 60 months using the
straight-line method and the Minneapolis building which is being held out for
sale.  

       Income taxes   In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."  Statement 109 requires a change from the
deferred method of accounting for income taxes of APB Opinion 11 to the
asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the asset
and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under
Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.

       Effective May 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement 109 and has
reported the cumulative effect of that change in the method of accounting for
income taxes in the 1993 consolidated statement of earnings.

2      MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

       Marketable securities and other investments consists of bonds and
common stock and are being used to invest excess cash until an appropriate
acquisition or operating need arises.  In accordance with Statement 115 they
are classified as available-for-sale and as such unrealized gains and losses are
reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity until realized. 
Dividend income, interest income, and prepayment losses on debt securities
is accrued as earned.  The Company uses specific identification to determine
the fair value of marketable securities and other investments.

following at July 31, 1995 and 1994:

3      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       The Company entered into two Note Agreements during fiscal 1993.  The
first note of $76,000 is dated October 1, 1992, bears interest at 8.0% and is
due in 48 monthly installments commencing June 1, 1994.  The note is
between the Company and Sound Techniques, Inc., a Subchapter S
Corporation wholly-owned by J. Russell Duncan, chairman of the Board and
a director of the Company.  Lance H. Duncan, the son of J Russell Duncan
and a director of the Company is President of Sound Techniques, Inc.  The
note resulted from advances to and payments by the Company on behalf of
Sound Techniques, Inc.  On April 18, 1995 the entire balance of the note,
which consisted of  $76,000 in principal and $17,000 in interest, was paid by
Sound Techniques, Inc.

       The second note is between the Company and L. Michael McGurk,
President, Chief Operating Officer and a director of the Company who, with
the encouragement of the Company, bought 15,000 shares of Milastar Class
A Common Stock and entered into a note with the Company.  The note of
$20,000 is dated August 15, 1992 and bears interest at 50 basis points over
NYC Prime adjustable upward or downward at the end of each six-month
period, which interest rate is subject to an 8% "cap" during the life of the
loan.  Interest on the principal is payable each year on the anniversary date
of the note.  The principal portion of the note is due on August 15, 1995.  The
Company is holding Mr. McGurk's 15,000 shares of Milastar Class A
Common Stock as collateral for the note.

       Total interest income related to these notes for the quarters ended July
31, 1995 and July 31, 1994 was $300 and $2,000, respectively.

4      NOTE PAYABLE

       On April 1, 1992 and June 18, 1993 the Company entered into two
reverse repurchase agreements ("Repos") to finance an Adjustable Rate
Mortgage ("ARM") portfolio aggregating $6,205,000 and $8,059,000,
respectively.  Each ARM was leveraged at a financing to equity ratio of
approximately 9:1.  Accordingly, the Company invested $635,000 and
$604,000 and entered into note payables for $5,570,000 and $7,455,000,
respectively.  The interest rate charged on the notes is the London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR) and ranged from 3.75% to 4.56%.  Each ARM, which
was pledged as collateral against the respective note payable, earned interest
at the LIBOR rate plus 135 basis points and such interest was paid monthly. 
As of April 30,1995 the Company has liquidated all of the reverse
agreements and the associated notes payable.  Total interest expense related
to these notes for the quarters ended July 31, 1995 and July 31, 1994 was $0
and $96,000, respectively.

       During fiscal 1995 the Company entered into a series of notes payable
totalling $344,000 payable to J. Russell Duncan, Chairman of the Board and
a Director of the Company.  The notes bear an interest rate of 8% and are
payable on demand.  The Company classifies the notes payable as a current
liability.  Total interest expense related to this note for the quarters ended
July 31, 1995 and July 31, 1994 was $8,000 and $4,000, respectively.

5      INCOME TAXES

       The Company has provided for current income taxes on earnings at the
appropriate statutory state and federal rates applicable to such earnings, and
any deviation is solely the result of book/tax differences arising mainly from
the recognition of tax depreciation expense.

       The computation of earnings per share is as follows:

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Results of Operations

     Three Months Ended July 31, 1995 Compared to Three Months Ended
July 31, 1994.  The Company recorded sales of $1,931,000 during the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to $1,585,000 for the same period last
year, a $346,000 (22%) increase.  The increase is primarily attributable to
improved equipment utilization, the addition of new customer accounts and
significantly increased volume with existing customers.

     Cost of sales of $1,420,000 (74% of net sales) increased $114,000 (9%)
from $1,306,000 (82% of net sales) for the same period a year earlier.  The
increased cost of sales is a function of the higher sales. The decrease relative
to sales is the result of improved labor efficiency and the absorption of fixed
costs.  Gross margin improved significantly to $511,000 compared to
$279,000 in the prior year first quarter.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses of $425,000 (22% of net
sales) decreased $37,000 (8%) from $462,000 (29% of net sales) recorded
during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  The decrease is primarily the result
of the elimination of Jardun Apparel Corp. expenses.  The reduction of selling
and G&A expenses, with a 22% increase in sales, is the result of
management's focus on overhead expenses.

     The Company recorded operating income of $72,000 in the first quarter
of fiscal 1996 as compared to an operating loss of $197,000 recorded in the
prior year first quarter.  The operating turnaround is primarily the result of
improved gross margin on higher net sales.

     Total other expense amounted to $32,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
1996 compared to other income of $6,000 in the first quarter of last year. 
The decrease was a combination of reduced net dividend and interest income
($41,000) and a loss in the previous quarter ($37,000) on a reverse repurchase
agreement.  In addition, the current quarter included a write down on the
valuation of a building held for sale of $30,000.         
                         
Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At July 31, 1995, the Company's working capital was $497,000 compared
to $501,000 at April 30, 1995 and the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was 1.4 to 1 for both reporting dates.  Cash, marketable securities
and other investments and current receivables represented 77% (76% at April
30, 1995) and 25% (27% at April 30, 1995) of total current assets and total
assets, respectively.  During the first  quarter of fiscal 1996 cash provided by
operating activities amounted to $201,000 compared to $244,000 used in the
first quarter of fiscal 1995. Cash requirements for the first quarter of fiscal
1996 were funded primarily from operations.
