1.   The information in this report reflects all adjustments which are, in the
     opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for
     the interim periods presented for Ravens Metal Products, Inc. ("The
     Company"). All adjustments other than those described in this report are,
     in the opinion of management, of a normal and recurring nature.

2.   Earnings per common share are based on net income divided by the weighted
     average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding.
     Loss per common share is based on net loss divided by the weighted average
     number of common shares outstanding. Weighted average number of common
     shares outstanding was approximately 1,939,405 and 1,943,525 in 1996 and
     1995, respectively, adjusted for a one-for-four reverse stock split
     effected on December 26, 1995.

     $3,390,043 and $3,310,507 in the nine month periods and $1,117,991 and
     $837,618 in the three month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,

     company related through common ownership. The Company owed Albex

                           RAVENS METAL PRODUCTS, INC.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                December 31, 1996


                     Material Changes in Financial Condition

Working capital decreased to $4,841,646 at December 31 from $5,900,027 at March
31, and long-term debt was reduced by $2,203,188. Receivables decreased due to a
lower level of sales in December than in March and an increase in the allowance
for doubtful accounts. Inventories decreased due to discontinuance of the
utility trailer division and a reduction in other inventories. Accounts payable
- - trade decreased due to a lower level of inventory purchases in December than
in March. Net cash provided from operating activities enabled the Company to
reduce the note payable - bank. The Company paid $37,076 to participants in the
Employee Stock Ownership Plan for 9,269 shares of common stock as distributions
upon termination of the Plan. The purchased shares were retired.

The Company has a loan and security agreement with First National Bank of Ohio
("FNBO") providing for borrowings under a line of credit expiring on August 31,
1998. The agreement provides for borrowings up to $8,000,000 based on eligible
accounts receivable and inventories. Interest is at FNBO's prime rate minus
1/2%. The Company could have borrowed approximately $2,076,000 more than the
$5,131,440 owed to the Bank at December 31, 1996.

The Company's sales order backlog for new trailers was approximately $2,000,000
and $5,000,000 at December 31 and May 31, 1996, respectively. The decline in the
backlog is due mainly to a decline in industry demand. Results for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997 will be adversely affected by the reduced sales backlog and
a settlement loss of approximately $400,000 for termination of the defined
benefit pension plan covering the former hourly employees at the former
Elizabeth, West Virginia facility.

Although no assurances are possible, the Company believes that its cash
resources, credit arrangements, and internally generated funds will be
sufficient to meet its operating and capital expenditure requirements for
existing operations and to service its debt in the next 12 months and
foreseeable future.

                    Material Changes in Results of Operations
                    -----------------------------------------

               ---------------------------------------------------
                       Nine Months Ended December 31, 1995
                       -----------------------------------

Net sales increased 15.1% mainly due to increased volume of platform and dump
trailers. The startup of the Kent facility in June 1995 resulted in lower sales
in the nine months ended December 31, 1995. The gross profit margin increased to
14.4% from 10.5% due mainly to startup costs at the Kent facility in 1995.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 8.9% from 9.4% of net
sales as net sales increased at a greater rate than selling, general and
administrative expenses. Loss on disposal of equipment is due to exiting the
utility trailer business due to the Company's inability to achieve
profitability.


              Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to the
              ----------------------------------------------------
                      Three Months Ended December 31, 1995
                      ------------------------------------

Net sales were approximately the same for both periods. The gross profit margin
increased to 14.7% from 12.4% due mainly to startup costs at the Kent facility
in 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 8.7% of net sales for
both periods. Interest expense decreased due to lower borrowings.
