    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 January 31,
2000 and for the three and nine month periods ended January 31,
2000 and January 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 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 nine month periods ended
January 31, 2000 was $600 and $1,800, 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 January 31, 2000 as Compared with the
Three Months Ended January 31, 1999.  The Company recorded sales
of $2,194,000 during the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 as
compared with $2,040,000 for the same period last year, a
$154,000 (8%) increase.  The sales increase was primarily
attributable to a stronger economy for the heat treating
industry in both the Midwest and New England markets.

     Cost of sales of $1,612,000 (73% of net sales) during the
third quarter of fiscal year 2000 increased $153,000 (10%) from
$1,459,000 (72% 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 and
additional supply and depreciation costs in the Midwest.  Gross
margin increased to $582,000 as compared with $581,000 for the
prior year third quarter.  The slight increase was primarily
attributable to higher sales being offset by increased costs.

     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of
$469,000 (21% of net sales) decreased $3,000 from $472,000 (23%
of net sales) for the same period a year earlier.  The small
change in SG&A expenses is due to the relatively fixed nature of
these costs.

     The Company recorded operating income of $89,000 in the
third quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared with operating income
of $87,000 recorded in the prior year third quarter.  The slight
increase in operating income in the third quarter of fiscal year
2000 is primarily attributable to higher sales being offset by
increased costs.

     Total other expense amounted to $79,000 in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared with other expense of $81,000
in the third quarter of last year.  Other expense in both third
quarters was primarily due to interest expense.

     The Company recorded net income of $7,000 in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared with net income of $4,000 in
the prior year third quarter.


     Nine Months Ended January 31, 2000 as Compared with the
Nine Months Ended January 31, 1999.  The Company recorded sales
of $6,684,000 during the first nine months of fiscal year 2000
as compared with $6,783,000 for the same period last year, a
$99,000 (1%) decrease.  The sales decrease was primarily
attributable to changes in the economy which resulted in lower
sales in the first two quarters being offset by stronger sales
in the third quarter.

     Cost of sales of $4,978,000 (74% of net sales) during the
first nine months of fiscal year 2000 increased $230,000 (5%)
from $4,748,000 (70% 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 $1,706,000 as compared with $2,035,000 for
the prior year nine months.  The decrease was primarily
attributable to the increased costs in fiscal year 2000 noted
above and lower sales in the Midwest area.

     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of
$1,394,000 (21% of net sales) decreased $5,000 (0%) from
$1,399,000 (21% of net sales) for the same period a year
earlier. The small change in SG&A expenses is due to the
relatively fixed nature of these costs.

     The Company recorded operating income of $244,000 in the
first nine months of fiscal 2000 as compared with operating
income of $570,000 recorded in the prior year nine months.  The
decrease in operating income in the first nine 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 $217,000 in the first nine
months of fiscal 2000 as compared with other expense of $221,000
in the same period of last year.  Other expense in both periods
was primarily due to interest expense.
