                     SELECTED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1--GENERAL
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RMI Titanium
Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions are eliminated. The Company's operations are conducted primarily in
one business segment, the production and marketing of titanium metal and related
products.
 
NOTE 2--ORGANIZATION
 
     On April 20, 1990, Quantum Chemical Corporation ("Quantum") and USX
Corporation ("USX") transferred their 50% partnership interests in RMI Company
(the immediate predecessor of the Company) to the Company in exchange for shares
of the Company's common stock (the "Reorganization"). Concurrent with the
Reorganization, Quantum completed a sale of its shares of the Company's common
stock to the public. USX has retained its shares of the Company's common stock.
At March 31, 1994, approximately 51% of the Company's outstanding common stock
was owned by USX.
 
NOTE 3--REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
 
     At its Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on March 31, 1994, the Company's
shareholders approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the
Company, effecting a one-for-ten reverse stock split. A Certificate of Amendment
to the Articles of Incorporation was filed with the Ohio Secretary of State on
March 31, 1994, and the reverse split became effective on that date. Pursuant to
the reverse split, each certificate representing shares of common stock
outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split is deemed to represent
one-tenth the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the reverse
split. Per share and weighted average share amounts reported herein have been
retroactively restated to reflect the reverse split. Common Stock and additional
paid-in capital have also been adjusted at March 31, 1994 to reflect the reverse
split. Treasury Common Stock was not affected by the reverse split.
 
NOTE 4--NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
     Effective January 1, 1994 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 ("SFAS 112"), "Employers' Accounting
for Postemployment Benefits." The results for the period ended March 31, 1994
reflect a one-time charge of $1.2 million representing the cumulative effect of
adopting the new standard. SFAS 112 will have no effect on cash flow. Effective
January 1, 1993 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106 ("SFAS 106") "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions." The results for the three months
ended March 31, 1993 reflect a one-time charge of $16.9 million representing the
cumulative effect of recognizing the entire SFAS 106 transition obligation.
Additionally, effective January 1, 1993 the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting
for Income Taxes." Prior to the adoption of SFAS 109, income tax expense was
determined under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 96 ("SFAS 96"),
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the provisions of SFAS 109 and SFAS 96, no
tax benefits were recognized for the 1994 and 1993 pretax losses. The provision
for taxes in the first quarter of 1993 results from certain state income taxes.
 
NOTE 5--CONTINGENCIES
 
     The Company is involved in investigative or cleanup projects under federal
or state environmental laws at a number of waste disposal sites, including a
Superfund site. Given the status of the proceedings with respect to these sites,
ultimate investigative and remediation costs cannot presently be accurately
predicted, but could, in the aggregate, be material. Based on the information
available regarding the current ranges of estimated remediation costs at
currently active sites, and what the Company believes will be its ultimate share
of such
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   9
 
costs, provisions for environmental-related costs have been recorded. These
provisions are in addition to amounts which have previously been accrued for the
Company's share of environmental study costs. At March 31, 1994, the amount
accrued for future environmental-related costs was $2.9 million. The amount
accrued is net of expected contributions from third parties (other than
insurers) of approximately $1.6 million, which the Company believes are
probable. The Company has been receiving contributions from such third parties
for a number of years as partial reimbursement for costs incurred by the
Company. As these proceedings continue toward final resolution, amounts in
excess of those already provided may be necessary to discharge the Company from
its obligations for these projects.
 
     The Company is also the subject of, or a party to, a number of other
pending or threatened legal actions involving a variety of matters.
 
     The ultimate resolution of these foregoing contingencies could,
individually or in the aggregate, be material to the consolidated financial
statements. However, management believes that the Company will remain a viable
and competitive enterprise even though it is possible that these matters could
be resolved unfavorably.

     Inventories are valued at cost as determined by the last-in, first-out
(LIFO) method which, in the aggregate, is lower than market. Inventory costs
generally include materials, labor costs and manufacturing overhead (including
depreciation).
 
     Included in work-in-process are costs relating to a drilling riser
contract, which is being accounted for as a long-term contract. Contract costs,
plus estimated earnings, less progress billings at March 31, 1994 and December
31, 1993 amounted to $4.0 million and $1.3, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
     The following discussion should be read in connection with the information
contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements and Selected Notes to
Financial Statements.
 
NET SALES
 
     Net sales increased by $4.2 million, or 13%, for the three months ended
March 31, 1994 compared to the corresponding 1993 period. This increase is due
primarily to the recognition of $2.7 million in revenue under the titanium
drilling riser contract in 1994. Additionally, revenues under the Department of
Energy ("DOE") remediation and restoration contract increased by $1.1 million in
the first quarter of 1994, or 73%, from the same period in 1993. Sales of hot
formed parts and cut shapes during the first quarter of 1994 increased
approximately $.5 million or 15% from 1993 first quarter levels. Shipments of
titanium mill products increased slightly from first quarter 1993 shipments.
Because of a less favorable product mix and a continuation of intense price
competition, average selling prices on mill products in the first quarter of
1994 decreased by approximately 9% from 1993 first quarter levels; however, by
comparison to the fourth quarter of 1993, average selling prices on mill
products in the first quarter of 1994 increased approximately 2%. Overall demand
and pricing for titanium mill products remains weak.
 
GROSS PROFIT
 
     Gross profit amounted to $.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1994
compared to a gross profit of $.4 million for the comparable 1993 period. The
1994 results were favorably impacted by the titanium drilling riser contract and
the DOE remediation and restoration contract.
 
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $2.4 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 1994 compared to $2.3 million in the first quarter
of 1993. Although the Company has achieved administrative cost reductions
through its cost containment measures, 1994 first quarter administrative costs
were adversely impacted by an additional charge of $.1 million resulting from
the recognition of deferred compensation expenses related to the early vesting
of awards previously granted under the Company's 1989 Employee Restricted Stock
Award Plan. Additionally, reimbursable administrative expenses associated with
the DOE remediation and restoration contract increased by $.1 million from 1993
first quarter levels. Research, technical and product development expenses
amounted to $.3 million in the first quarter of 1994 compared to $.4 million in
the first quarter of 1993.
 
OPERATING LOSS
 
     The operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993
amounted to $2.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
 
NET LOSS
 
     Because of increased overall interest rates and a higher level of
borrowings, interest expense increased to $.7 million in the first quarter of
1994 from $.6 million in 1993.
 
     Net income for the 1994 first quarter reflects a one-time charge of $1.2
million resulting from the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 112. The
comparable 1993 period reflects a one-time charge of $16.9 million representing
the cumulative effect of SFAS No. 106.
 
     Including the remainder of the titanium drilling riser contract, the
Company's total order backlog as of March 31, 1994 was approximately $70
million, compared to $71 million at December 31, 1993. As a result of soft
demand and competitive pressures, the average selling prices on incoming orders
for mill products have decreased over the last several years. The Company
believes a number of factors are responsible for this situation. Among these
factors are aggressive international competition, declining military spending,
lack of commercial airline profits, and an uncertain world economy. Many
aerospace contractors have adopted just-in-time inventory practices or have
demanded significantly shorter lead times. Additionally, contractors are waiting
until the last minute to place orders in an effort to obtain the best possible
pricing. The titanium
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   11
 
industry is also suffering from excess production capacity, which has
intensified price competition for available business.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     Working capital amounted to $66.5 million at March 31, 1994 compared to
$66.3 million at December 31, 1993.
 
     For the quarter ended March 31, 1994, the Company's cash flow requirements
for operating losses, capital spending and working capital needs were funded
primarily through borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.
 
     The Company has reached agreement with the participating banks, subject to
completion of documentation, on the terms of an amendment to the $75 million
revolving credit facility. The amendment would establish new financial covenants
and relate the maximum amount of credit available under the facility to a
borrowing base formula. Under the facility, as amended, the Company could borrow
up to the lesser of $75 million or an amount equal to the sum of the products of
the aggregate value of each of various categories of collateral and an advance
rate established by the banks for each category of collateral, plus an available
overadvance. Based on the values of collateral at March 31, 1994, the Company
will be able to borrow the entire $75 million available under the amended
facility. The amended facility will contain a covenant to maintain a minimum
balance of total shareholders' equity as of June 30, 1994 and at all times
thereafter, based on the balance of total shareholders' equity at December 31,
1993, as adjusted for new cash equity investments as a result of the Rights
Offering and certain noncash charges to equity resulting from the application of
certain mandated accounting standards and other matters. In addition, an event
of default would occur if RMI does not receive cash equity investments as a
result of the Rights Offering by July 29, 1994 of at least $14.7 million. Also
under the existing credit facility, as amended, if USX were to cease to
beneficially own at least 48% of the Company's voting equity securities, the
terms of the facility would be subject to renegotiation and, in such event,
failure by the Company and the banks to reach agreement on appropriate
amendments to the facility could constitute an event of default.
 
     The Company has also received from the banks which are parties to the
existing credit facility a separate commitment to enter into a second revolving
credit facility providing for up to $15 million of borrowings, in addition to
amounts available under the amended existing credit facility. The second
facility would permit borrowings up to the lesser of $15 million or an amount
determined pursuant to a borrowing base formula substantially similar to that
used for the amended existing credit facility, but which would include only
certain collateral related to, or arising out of, the Company's export sales.
Prior to any borrowings, the Company would be required to receive the $14.7
million cash equity investments described above. The $15 million revolving
credit facility is conditioned upon obtaining a guarantee by the Export Import
Bank of the United States of amounts outstanding thereunder. The Company has
applied to the Export Import Bank for such a guarantee.
 
     At March 31 1993 the Company had borrowings of $67.5 million outstanding
under the existing revolving credit facility, compared to $65.5 at December 31,
1993.
 
     In order to adequately finance development of the new markets while meeting
its current liquidity requirements, the Board of Directors has determined that
the Company should seek to raise up to $30 million. The Company currently
intends to raise this amount through a rights offering to shareholders. In
contemplation of the rights offering, the Board of Directors of the Company
sought shareholders' approval at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to amend the
Articles of Incorporation of the Company to effect a one-for-ten reverse stock
split.
 
     The reverse split proposal was approved by an affirmative vote of
approximately 90% of the outstanding shares. A Certificate of Amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation was filed with the Ohio Secretary of State on March
31, 1994, and the reverse split became effective on that date. Pursuant to the
reverse split, each certificate representing shares of common stock outstanding
immediately prior to the reverse split is deemed to represent one-tenth the
number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split.

     The Company is involved in investigative or cleanup projects under federal
or state environmental laws at a number of waste disposal sites including a
Superfund site. Given the status of the proceedings with respect to these sites,
ultimate investigative and remediation costs cannot presently be accurately
predicted but could, in the aggregate, be material. Based on the information
available regarding the current ranges of estimated remediation costs at
currently active sites, and what the Company believes will be its ultimate share
of such costs, provisions for environmental-related costs have been recorded,
including $2.7 million in 1991. These provisions are in addition to amounts
which have previously been accrued for the Company's share of environmental
study costs. At March 31, 1994, the amount accrued for future
environment-related costs was $2.9 million. The amount accrued is net of
expected contributions from third parties (other than insurers) of approximately
$1.6 million, which the Company believes are probable. The Company has been
receiving contributions from such third parties for a number of years as partial
reimbursement for costs incurred by the Company. As these proceedings continue
toward final resolution, amounts in excess of those already provided may be
necessary to discharge the Company from it obligations for these projects. In
1992, the EPA proposed a $1.4 million civil penalty for alleged failure to
comply with RCRA. The Company is contesting the complaint. Based on the
preliminary nature of the proceeding the Company is currently unable to
determine the ultimate liability, if any, that may arise from this matter.
 
     The ultimate resolution of these environmental matters could individually
or in the aggregate, be material to the consolidated financial statements.
However, management believes that the Company will remain a viable and
competitive enterprise even though it is possible that these matters could be
resolved unfavorably.
 
     Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and March
31, 1993 amounted to $.1 million in each period. The Company has budgeted
capital spending of approximately $1.0 million for the year 1994, which is
comparable to actual spending for the year 1993. Although reduced in order to
conserve cash, the Company's capital spending levels are adequate to maintain
its facilities while continuing to improve product quality. In addition, during
the quarter ended March 31, 1994, the Company invested $.2 million in its
Norwegian joint venture.
