    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,
2000 and for the three month periods ended July 31, 2000 and July
31, 1999, 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 2000 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, 2001.  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, 2000 and 1999 was
$600.

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

Results of Operations

    Three Months Ended July 31, 2000 as Compared with the Three
Months Ended July 31, 1999.  The Company recorded sales of
$2,484,000 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 as
compared with $2,183,000 for the same period last year, a $301,000
(14%) increase.  The sales increase was primarily attributable to
a stronger economy for the heat treating industry in the Midwest.

    Cost of sales of $1,677,000 (68% of net sales) during the
first quarter of fiscal year 2001 increased $38,000 (2%) from
$1,639,000 (75% of net sales) for the same period a year earlier.
The percentage decrease relative to sales is due to the fixed
nature of the majority of these costs.  Gross margin increased to
$807,000 as compared with $544,000 for the prior year first
quarter.

    Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of
$560,000 (23% of net sales) increased $110,000 (24%) from $450,000
(21% of net sales) for the same period a year earlier.  The change
in SG&A expenses is primarily due to an increase in the provision
for incentive compensation.

    The Company recorded operating income of $223,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared with operating income of
$74,000 recorded in the prior year first quarter.  The increase in
operating income in the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 is
primarily attributable to higher sales and relatively fixed costs.


    Total other expense amounted to $67,000 in the first quarter
of fiscal 2001 as compared with other expense of $70,000 in the
first quarter of last year.  Other expense in both first quarters
relates to interest expense.

    The Company recorded net income of $154,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared with net income of $2,000 in
the prior year first quarter.


Income Taxes

    The provision for income taxes for the three months ended
July 31, 2000 was $2,000, or an effective tax rate of 1.3%,
compared to a provision for income taxes of $2,000, or an
effective tax rate of 50%, for the three months ended July 31,
1999.  The low effective income tax rate, compared to the federal
statutory rate of 34% plus state and local taxes in fiscal 2001,
is due to a reduction in the valuation allowance resulting from
the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the current
year period.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

    At July 31, 2000, the Company had negative working capital
of $440,000 compared with $361,000 of negative working capital at
April 30, 2000 and the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was 0.8 to 1.0 for both periods.  Cash and accounts
receivables represented 82% (83% at April 30, 2000) and 15% (16%
at April 30, 2000) of total current assets and total assets,
respectively.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, net cash
provided by operating activities amounted to $579,000 compared to
$310,000 provided by operating activities in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000.  Working capital requirements for the first quarter
of fiscal 2001 was funded primarily from available cash and cash
generated from operations.  The Company believes anticipated cash
flows from operations and its line of credit will be adequate to
satisfy projected operating requirements through the foreseeable
future.

    In August 2000, the Company refinanced its note payable to
bank (line of credit) and established a term note payable.  The
total note payable of $825,000 included borrowings for the
purchase of equipment.  The amount available on the line of
credit after the refinancing is $500,000.


New Accounting Pronouncements

    During 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" (as amended by SFAS No. 137 with respect to the
effective date and SFAS No. 138 with respect to certain hedging
activities), which establishes new standards for recognizing all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities, and measuring those
instruments at fair value.  The Company will be required to
adopt the new standard beginning in fiscal 2002.  The Company is
currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this
statement.  Its adoption is not expected to materially impact
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.


Subsequent Events


    Effective August 24, 2000 the Company sold its wholly
owned subsidiary New England Metal Treating Corporation located
in Auburn, Massachusetts. The transaction will be recognized in
the three month period ended October 31, 2000.  The Company does
not anticipate a significant gain or loss on the transaction.

    On August 10, 2000, the Company refinanced its note
payable to bank (line of credit) and established a term note
payable.  The note has a 5 year term and bears interest at 8.6%.
The new note payable also included additional borrowings for the
purchase of equipment.  The total new note payable was $825,000.

    The annual maturities of long-term debt and capitalized
lease obligations taking into consideration the items above and
the existing debt for each of the five years following April 30,
2000 are as follows:


           2001                      903,000
           2002                      618,000
