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 October 31,
1999 and October 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, 2000. 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 the three and six month periods ended
October 31, 1999 was $600 and $1,200, 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
The following table presents a reconciliation of
the denominators used in the computation of net income per
common share - basic and net income per common share - diluted
for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 1999,

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended October 31, 1999 as Compared with the
Three Months Ended October 31, 1998. The Company recorded sales
of $2,307,000 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 as
compared with $2,399,000 for the same period last year, a
$92,000 (4%) decrease. The sales decrease was primarily
attributable to an overall downturn in the economy for the heat
treating industry in the Midwest.
Cost of sales of $1,727,000 (75% of net sales) during the
second quarter of fiscal year 2000 increased $80,000 (5%) from
$1,647,000 (69% of net sales) for the same period a year
earlier. The increase was primarily attributable to additional
payroll and supply costs at the New England facility which was
the result of increased production in that territory. Gross
margin decreased to $580,000 as compared with $752,000 for the
prior year second quarter. The decrease was primarily
attributable to lower sales in the Midwest area.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of
$475,000 (21% of net sales) increased $10,000 (2%) from $465,000
(19% 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 $81,000 in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared with operating income
of $265,000 recorded in the prior year second quarter. The
decrease in operating income in the second quarter of fiscal
year 2000 is primarily attributable to lower sales and that both
cost of sales and SG&A expenses are relatively fixed.
Total other expense amounted to $68,000 in the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared with other expense of $88,000
in the second quarter of last year. Other expense in both third
quarters was primarily due to interest expense.
The Company recorded net income of $11,000 in the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared with net income of $174,000
in the prior year second quarter.
Six Months Ended October 31, 1999 as Compared with the Six
Months Ended October 31, 1998. The Company recorded sales of
$4,490,000 during the first six months of fiscal year 2000 as
compared with $4,743,000 for the same period last year, a
$253,000 (5%) decrease. The sales decrease was primarily
attributable to an overall downturn in the economy for the heat
treating industry.
Cost of sales of $3,366,000 (75% of net sales) during the
first six months of fiscal year 2000 increased $77,000 (2%) from
$3,289,000 (69% of net sales) for the same period a year
earlier. The increase was primarily attributable to additional
payroll and supply costs at the New England facility which was
the result of increased production in that territory. Gross
margin decreased to $1,124,000 as compared with $1,454,000 for
the prior year six months. The decrease was primarily
attributable to lower sales in the Midwest area.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of
$925,000 (21% of net sales) decreased $2,000 (0%) from $927,000
(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 $155,000 in the
first six months of fiscal 2000 as compared with operating
income of $483,000 recorded in the prior year six months. The
decrease in operating income in the first six months of fiscal
year 2000 is primarily attributable to lower sales and that both
cost of sales and SG&A expenses are relatively fixed.
Total other expense amounted to $138,000 in the first six
months of fiscal 2000 as compared with other expense of $140,000
in the same period of last year. Other expense in both periods
was primarily due to interest expense.
The Company recorded net income of $13,000 in the first six
months of fiscal 2000 as compared with net income of $338,000 in
the prior year six months.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At October 31, 1999, the Company had negative working
capital of $225,000 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 80% (81% at April 30, 1999) and
15% (16% at April 30, 1999) of total current assets and total
assets, respectively. During the first six months of fiscal
2000, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to
$679,000 compared to $831,000 provided by operating activities
in the first six months of fiscal 1999. Working capital
requirements for the first six months of fiscal 2000 was funded
primarily from available cash, cash generated from operations
and short-term borrowings under the line of credit.
The Company believes it has sufficient capital resources to
meet its fiscal 2000 operations and equipment acquisitions cash
flow requirements.
Market Risks
The Company is exposed to certain market risks with its
$500,000 line of credit of which $200,000 is outstanding at
October 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.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in Management's Discussion
and Analysis and elsewhere in the 10-Q are forward-looking
statements. These statements may discuss, among other things,
expected growth, future revenues and future performance. The
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, competitive

fluctuations, trade restrictions, changes in tariff and freight
rates, capital market conditions and other risks indicated in

Commission. Actual results may materially differ from
