                          MET-COIL SYSTEMS CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1.  PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

               The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have
         been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions for
         Securities and Exchange Commission's Form 10-Q and do not include all
         of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
         accounting principles for audited financial statements. The unaudited
         consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the
         Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany items and
         transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. In the
         preparation of the unaudited amounts, all adjustments (consisting
         solely of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are, in
         the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
         results for the interim periods. The results for the interim periods
         are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be
         expected for the year. It is suggested that the unaudited consolidated
         condensed financial statements contained herein be read in conjunction
         with the consolidated statements and notes included in the Company's
         Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 1998.

         Risks and Uncertainties:
               The preparation of the Company's financial statements in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
         management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
         and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
         reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
               In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
         issued Statement No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which was
         effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. Statement No.
         130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income in
         financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in
         equity of a business enterprise during a period, resulting from
         transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.
         In compliance with the new standard, the Company has included an
         Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Statement of Comprehensive Income
         herein.

         Recent Accounting Pronouncements, continued:
               In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 131 "Disclosures
         About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which was
         effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. Statement No.
         131 redefines how operating segments are determined and requires
         disclosure of certain financial and descriptive information about a
         company's operating segments. The Company operates in one business
         segment and therefore, has determined that no changes in the Company's
         reporting structure will result from this standard.

NOTE 2.  INVENTORIES
               The composition of the inventories, using the FIFO method, which
         approximates replacement cost, is as follows:

NOTE 3.  DEBT

         Revolving Line of Credit:
               At February 28, 1999 the Company had a revolving credit agreement
         with two insurance companies under which it may borrow up to
         $3,500,000. Borrowings are limited pursuant to a borrowing base formula
         (calculated based on certain percentages of eligible trade receivables
         and inventories), bear interest at 11.5% and require payment of certain
         fees. Under this line, which expires April 30, 1999, outstanding
         borrowings as of February 28, 1999 were $2,830,000.

               The Company has entered into an agreement with its current
         lenders to extend the maturity date of the revolving line of credit
         from April 30, 1999 to December 31, 2000, which corresponds with the
         long-term debt maturity date. Negotiation of the exact terms of the
         extension is currently in process.

         Long-Term Debt:
               At February 28, 1999 the Company had $2.5 million of senior notes
         with two insurance companies. The senior notes mature in December 2000.
         Interest is at 11.5%, payable monthly. The notes are repayable in
         monthly payments of $141,250 plus interest.

               For additional information concerning the Company's loan
         agreements and accompanying terms and restrictions see Note 4 to
         Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
         the year ended May 31, 1998 herein incorporated by reference thereto.

               In January 1999 the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement
         to resume ownership of a parcel of land for $1,154,000 which was
         previously sold to a director of the Company in May 1997. The land has
         been affected, to a small degree, by an environmental matter on the
         Company's adjacent land. This environmental matter was caused by a
         vendor who has been financially responsible for clean-up costs. The
         original Real Estate Sales Contract Agreement contained an
         environmental indemnification clause. Because of the timing involved
         with the remediation plan that is in place, it was determined that it
         would be best for the Company to resume ownership of the land and
         market the land after remediation has been completed. A reserve for the
         remediation costs is included in current liabilities.

               The Company executed a promissory note for $700,000, and paid
         $454,000 in cash. The note is to be paid in monthly installments of
         $100,000, plus interest at an annual rate of 9%, from May through
         November, 1999.

NOTE 5.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

  In compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No.
128, "Earnings Per Share", which was issued in February 1997, the Company has
changed its method of computing earnings per share. The prior periods presented
have been restated to conform with the new requirements which exclude
contingently issuable shares and the dilutive effect of stock options from the
number of weighted average shares used in the computation of basic earnings per
share. The effect of SFAS No. 128 on diluted earnings per share is immaterial
compared to previously disclosed fully diluted earnings per share. Basic and
diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

         Certain of the statements contained in this report may be
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include estimates and
statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations of the Company and its
management. Examples of certain forward-looking statements are the Company's
estimates of the cost, timing and effect of its Year 2000 compliance efforts and
the Company's expectations regarding its ability to meet future funding
obligations. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in
all such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it
can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. Such
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties
include, among other things, the effect of economic conditions, the impact of
competition, availability of capital, supply constraints or difficulties, the
effect of the Company's accounting policies and the effect of regulatory and
legal developments.

         FISCAL 1999 - THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTH RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Revenues for the third quarter were $10.3 million compared to $11.0
million one year ago. Met-Coil Systems Corporation reported third quarter income
before income taxes of $523,000, compared to $437,000 last year, which
represents a 20% increase. With income tax credits and preferred stock
accretion, net income applicable to common stock was $824,000 or $.19 diluted
earnings per share. This compares to $277,000, or $.09 diluted earnings per
share in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.

         Year-to-date revenues were $32.3 million compared to $33.9 million for
the prior year period. However, order backlog at February 28, 1999 was $18
million, an improvement of $4 million over backlog one year ago. Last year's
revenues included a surge in sales of the Company's plasma cutting machines
which occurred when a competitor discontinued business. Those revenues have
returned to historic levels this year. Gross margin has improved from 22.4% to
23.8% due to continuing efforts to control material costs.

         Income before income taxes for the nine months ended February 28, 1999
was $1.9 million, up from $1.3 million last year. With income tax credits and
preferred stock accretion, net income applicable to common stock was $2.4
million or $.62 diluted earnings per share compared to $796,000 or $.25 diluted
earnings per share one year ago.

         Interest expense for the nine months fell by $402,000, due to lower
levels of outstanding debt, which we continue to paydown. The Company has
recognized net income tax credits of $810,000 in the first nine months of fiscal
1999. Income tax credits relate to a reduction in the Company's deferred tax
asset valuation allowance.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Financial Review, Cash Flows and Commitments:
         Funds from operations were used to pay all regularly scheduled
dividends on the Company's preferred stock in March 1999. The Company has not
paid quarterly common stock dividends due to loan covenants, which prohibit the
payment of common stock dividends. It is uncertain when, and if, the Company
will pay common stock dividends in the future.

         The Company's preferred stock is convertible into three shares of
common stock at any time at the option of the holder and became redeemable after
December 31, 1998. Either the Company or the holder of the Company's preferred
stock may redeem the stock at a redemption price of $13 per share, plus any
accumulated unpaid dividends. Once redeemed, the Company has the option to make
cash payments equal to 10% of the value and 12 equal monthly payments, including
10% annual interest. These payments may be deferred if the payments would cause
the Company to be in default under the terms of its senior indebtedness.

         The number of preferred shares converted or redeemed depends on the
current market value of the Company's common stock. Approximately 80,000 shares
of preferred stock have been converted as of February 28, 1999. The Company
plans to finance the potential cash outflow, if any, caused by redemptions
through cash flow from operations and, if required, additional debt financing.

         The Company may also be required to make prepayments under a January
1992 Settlement Agreement (a copy of the Settlement Agreement was previously
filed as an exhibit of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
May 31, 1993). It is anticipated that funding of any such prepayment would be
from operating cash flows.

         The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants contained in its
loan agreements as of February 28, 1999. Management of the Company believes that
amounts available from operating cash flows, funds available under its revolving
credit agreement and the Company's borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet
its expected cash needs and capital expenditures for the fiscal year.

Year 2000
         The Company has assessed and continues to assess the impact of the Year
2000 issue on its reporting systems and operations. The Year 2000 issue is the
result of computer programs which were written using two digits (rather than
four) to define the application year. As the Year 2000 approaches,
date-sensitive software could fail to process critical financial and operational
information correctly.

         The Company has identified three major areas determined to be critical
for successful Year 2000 compliance: (1) financial and information system
applications; (2) manufacturing applications; and (3) third-party relationships.
In the financial and information systems applications and manufacturing
applications, the Company expects to be compliant by mid 1999. In the third
party area, the Company has contacted most of its suppliers and customers, most
of whom state that they intend to be Year 2000 compliant by the Year 2000.

                                                                   Page 13 of 18


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

         The Company has assessed the risk of noncompliance and anticipates that
past and future expenditures to ensure that its computer systems are Year 2000
compliant, including review of contingency plans by an independent consultant,
will not exceed $75,000.

         In the event that the Company and material third parties such as
suppliers and/or customers fail to become Year 2000 compliant, a likely worst
case scenario could bring about possible system failure or other interruption of
operations such as an inability to process transactions or engage in normal
business activities for a short time.

         The Company is establishing contingency plans to address the
consequences of possible failure and will conduct orderly shutdown or scale back
of operations accordingly if a loss of certain services is experienced. This is
essentially the same process currently used for non-Year 2000 failures that
could occur.

                          MET-COIL SYSTEMS CORPORATION
                   ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER NET EARNINGS UP 20%

CEDAR RAPIDS, IA - MARCH 31, 1999 - Met-Coil Systems Corporation (METS), a
supplier of advanced sheet metal forming equipment, fabricating equipment and
glass processing technologies for the global market, announces net income for
the third quarter and nine months ended February 28, 1999.

         "Operations are strong and order entry remains solid", reports James
Heitt, President and Chief Operating Officer of Met-Coil. "We have been
successful in improving our performance, maintaining our market leadership and
introducing new products, all of which contribute to long-term shareholder
value".

                THIRD QUARTER RESULTS AND NINE-MONTH PERFORMANCE
         Revenues for the third quarter were $10.3 million compared to $11.0
million one year ago. Met-Coil Systems Corporation reported third quarter income
before income taxes of $523,000, compared to $437,000 last year, which
represents a 20% increase. With income tax credits and preferred stock
accretion, net income applicable to common stock was $824,000 or $.19 diluted
earnings per share. This compares to $277,000, or $.09 diluted earnings per
share in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.

         Year-to-date revenues were $32.3 million compared to $33.9 million for
the prior year period. However, order backlog at February 28, 1999 was $18
million, an improvement of $4 million over backlog one year ago. Last year's
revenues included a surge in sales of the Company's plasma cutting machines
which occurred when a competitor discontinued business. Those revenues have
returned to historic levels this year. Gross margin has improved from 22.4% to
23.8% due to continuing efforts to control material costs.

         Income before income taxes for the nine months ended February 28, 1999
was $1.9 million, up from $1.3 million last year. With income tax credits and
preferred stock accretion, net income applicable to common stock was $2.4
million or $.62 diluted earnings per share compared to $796,000 or $.25 diluted
earnings per share one year ago.

         Interest expense for the nine months fell by $402,000, due to lower
levels of outstanding debt, which we continue to paydown. The Company has
recognized net income tax credits of $810,000 in the first nine months of fiscal
1999. Income tax credits relate to a reduction in the Company's deferred tax
asset valuation allowance.
