    CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        (Unaudited)


1  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The consolidated financial statements of Milastar
Corporation (the "Company") reflect the financial position and
results of operations of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, after elimination of all material intercompany
transactions and balances.

   The consolidated financial statements as of July 31,
1999 and July 31, 1998, included herein are unaudited and have
been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principals have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.  The interim financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods.  These consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and the note thereto included in the Company's 1999 Annual
Report to Shareholders and incorporated by reference in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  The result of operations for the
interim period should not be considered indicative of the
results to be expected for the entire year.



2  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   Notes Receivable

   The Company entered into a note during fiscal 1993
with 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 that was originally due on August
15, 1995 has been extended until August 15, 1999.  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 this note for both fiscal quarters ended July 31,
1999 and 1998 was $600.

   Notes Payable

   During fiscal 1996 the Company entered into a
$100,000 note payable, which at April 30, 1999 had a balance of
$0, including accrued interest, to L. Michael McGurk,
President, Chief Operating Officer and a director of the
Company.  The note bore an interest rate of 8.7% and was
payable on demand.  The Company classified the note payable as
a current liability. Total interest expense related to this
note payable for the fiscal quarters ended July 31, 1999 and
1998 was $0 and $2,100, respectively.



3  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.



4  INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

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

Results of Operations

   Three Months Ended July 31, 1999 as Compared with the
Three Months Ended July 31, 1998.  The Company recorded sales
of $2,183,000 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 as
compared with $2,344,000 for the same period last year, a
$161,000 (7%) decrease.  The sales decrease was primarily
attributable to an overall downturn in the economy for the heat
treating industry.

   Cost of sales of $1,639,000 (75% of net sales) during the
first quarter of fiscal year 2000 decreased $2,000 (0%) from
$1,641,000 (70% of net sales) for the same period a year
earlier.  The percentage increase relative to sales is due to
the fixed nature of the majority of these costs.  Gross margin
decreased to $544,000 as compared with $703,000 for the prior
year first quarter.

   Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of
$450,000 (21% of net sales) decreased $12,000 (3%) from
$462,000 (20% of net sales) for the same period a year earlier.
The change in SG&A expenses is primarily due to immaterial
fluctuations.

   The Company recorded operating income of $74,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared with operating income
of $219,000 recorded in the prior year first quarter.  The
decrease in operating income in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2000 is primarily attributable to lower sales and
relatively fixed costs.

   Total other expense amounted to $70,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared with other expense of
$52,000 in the first quarter of last year.  Other expense in
both third quarters was primarily due to interest expense.

   The Company recorded net income of $2,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared with net income of $164,000
in the prior year first quarter.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

   At July 31, 1999, the Company had negative working capital
of $175,000 compared with $159,000 of negative working capital
at April 30, 1999 and the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was 0.9 to 1.0 for both periods.  Cash and accounts
receivables represented 78% (81% at April 30, 1999) and 14%
(16% at April 30, 1999) of total current assets and total
assets, respectively.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2000,
net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $310,000
compared to $717,000 provided by operating activities in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999.  Working capital requirements for
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was funded primarily from
available cash, cash generated from operations and short-term
borrowings under the line of credit.


Market Risks

   The Company is exposed to certain market risks with its
$500,000 line of credit of which $150,000 is outstanding at
July 31, 1999.  The line bears interest at the bank's reference
rate plus .25%.


Year 2000

   Management is devoting significant resources throughout
the company to minimize the risk of potential disruption from
year 2000 issues related to computers or other equipment with
date-sensitive software and embedded chip systems.  If we, or
our significant customers, suppliers or other third parties
fail to correct year 2000 issues, our ability to operate our
business could be adversely affected.

   We have completed the assessment, inventory and
implementation of year 2000 issues on all of our information
systems infrastructure and assets.  Information systems that
were year 2000 deficient have been modified, upgraded or
replaced and tested for compliance.  Based on assessments and
testing to date, we do not expect the financial impact of
addressing internal system year 2000 issues will be material to
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

   We have developed contingency plans in the event that a
significant supplier or third party failure disrupts our
operations.  These contingency plans will not guarantee that
circumstances beyond our control will not adversely impact our
operations.  However, these plans will continue to be evaluated
and modified through the year 2000 transition period as
additional information becomes available.
