Note 3.           Income Taxes

         The provision for income taxes for the three months ended  December 31,
1998 and 1999 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due
to taxes on foreign earnings against which the Company was unable to utilize its
U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards.

years ended September 30, unless otherwise  indicated.  This discussion contains
statements that constitute  forward looking statements within the meaning of the
Securities  Laws. Such statements may include  statements  regarding the intent,

affecting the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Readers of
this discussion are cautioned that any such forward  looking  statements are not
guarantees of future  performance and involve risks and  uncertainties  and that
actual  results  may  differ  materially  from  those  in  the  forward  looking
statements  as a result  of  various  factors.  This  report  should  be read in
conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations  included in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September
30, 1999 filed by the Company with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  on
December 28, 1999.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31,
1998

         Net  Revenues.  Net revenues  decreased  approximately  $1.2 million to
approximately  $48.0  million in the first quarter of 2000,  from  approximately
$49.2  million in the first  quarter of 1999,  primarily  as a result of a 14.7%
decrease in the average  selling price per pound,  falling from $12.94 per pound
for fiscal 1999 to $11.04 per pound for fiscal 2000.  The decline in the average
selling  price  was  partially  offset  by a  16.2%  increase  in  volume,  from
approximately  3.7 million pounds in the first quarter of 1999 to  approximately
4.3 million pounds in the first quarter of 2000.

         Sales to the  aerospace  industry  in the first  quarter of fiscal year
2000 declined by 22.0% to approximately  $18.1 million from approximately  $23.2
million  for the same  period a year  earlier,  due to a decrease in the average
selling price per pound and a decline in volume. The decrease in average selling
prices was the  result of a  decrease  in sales of higher  value  added  tubular
products for commercial aircraft and a larger proportion of lower priced product
forms in the gas  turbine  sector.  The  volume  decrease  was  caused  by lower
domestic and European  sales of  nickel-base  and  cobalt-containing  alloy flat
products to gas turbine  manufacturers,  as the industry continues to respond to
changes in the commercial aircraft build schedules.

         Sales to the  chemical  processing  industry  declined  by  23.1%  from
approximately  $16.9 million in the first quarter of 1999 to approximately $13.0
million in the first  quarter of fiscal  2000,  due to a decline in volume and a
reduction in the average  selling price per pound.  The decline in volume can be
attributed  to decreased  worldwide  project  related  activity.  The decline in
average selling price stems from heightened competition in a soft market.

         Sales to the land-based gas turbine  industry  increased  109.1% in the
first  three  months  of  fiscal  2000  to   approximately   $6.9  million  from
approximately  $3.3 million for the same period a year earlier due  primarily to
an increase  in volume,  partially  offset by a decrease in the average  selling
price per pound.  The  increase  in volume was mainly due to  improved  domestic
shipments of  nickel-base  flat products to support the demand of  manufacturers
build  schedules  and  improved  sales of ingots and  billets  used for  further
processing.  The  decline  in  selling  price  can  be  attributed  to a  larger
proportion  of a  lower  priced  proprietary  alloy  for  a  major  gas  turbine
application.

         Sales to the flue gas  desulfurization  industry  increased  325.0%  to
approximately  $1.7  million from  approximately  $400,000 due to an increase in
both volume and average selling price per pound. The increases can be attributed
to a single  project that shipped  during the quarter.  This market is generally
characterized by large project  requirements and moderate  continuing repair and
maintenance needs.

                                  Page 8 of 16


<PAGE>

         Sales to the oil and gas industry  increased 400% to approximately $3.0
million for the first fiscal quarter of 2000 from approximately $600,000 for the
first  quarter  of 1999 due to an  increase  in  volume,  partially  offset by a
decrease in the average  selling price per pound.  The increase in volume can be
attributed to a large sour gas project  shipped during the quarter.  This market
is entirely  dependent  upon large  drilling  projects,  the timing of which are
difficult to predict.

         Sales to other industries increased 29.4% to approximately $4.4 million
for the first three months of fiscal year 2000 from  approximately  $3.4 million
for the first three months of 1999 due to an increase in both volume and average
selling price per pound. The increase in average selling price can be attributed
to proportionately higher sales of higher cost, higher priced cobalt-base alloys
relative to sales of lower cost, lower priced nickel-base alloys.

         Cost of Sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues  increased
to 83.1% for the first  quarter  of fiscal  2000  compared  to 75.8% in the same
period last year.  The higher cost of sales  percentage  in fiscal 2000 resulted
from higher raw material costs,  higher  distribution  costs associated with the
service  centers,  and lower  volumes of higher  value  added coil,  sheet,  and
seamless  product  forms due to  significant  planned  outages in sheet and coil
production equipment.

         Selling  and  Administrative   Expenses.   Selling  and  administrative
expenses increased  approximately  $800,000 to approximately $5.7 million in the
first quarter of 2000 from  approximately $4.9 million in the same period a year
ago,  primarily  as a result of  expenses  related to the  Company's  continuing
response to the Department of Justice's grand jury investigation into the nickel
alloy industry and a charge for management incentives.

         Research and Technical  Expenses.  Research and technical expenses were
relatively  flat in the first  quarter of 2000  compared to the first quarter of
1999.

         Operating  Income.  As a  result  of the  above  factors,  the  Company
recognized  operating income for the first quarter of 2000 of approximately $1.5
million,  approximately  $1.0 million of which was  contributed by the Company's
foreign  subsidiaries.  For the first  quarter  of 1999,  operating  income  was
approximately $6.1 million,  of which approximately $1.3 million was contributed
by the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

         Other.  Other  cost  was  relatively  flat in the  first  quarter  2000
compared to the first quarter of 1999.

         Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased approximately $300,000 to
approximately $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2000 from approximately $5.1
million for the same period in 1999. Higher revolving credit balances during the
first quarter of fiscal 2000, combined with higher interest rates, accounted for
the increase.

         Income  Taxes.  An income tax  benefit of  approximately  $791,000  was
recorded  for the first  quarter  of 2000  compared  to income  tax  expense  of
approximately $619,000 in fiscal 1999 due to lower pretax earnings.

         Net Income.  As a result of the above factors,  the Company  recognized
net loss for the first quarter of 2000 of approximately  $3.3 million,  compared
to net income of approximately $180,000 for the first quarter of 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Company's  near-term  future  cash needs will be driven by working
capital  requirements,  and planned capital  expenditures.  Capital expenditures
were  approximately  $4.9  million  in the first  three  months of fiscal  2000,
compared to capital  expenditures  of  approximately  $2.1 million for the first
three  months of fiscal 1999.  First  quarter  2000  capital  spending  included
improvements  to the  Company's  flat product  production  areas,  including the
four-high  mill  and  cold  finishing   areas,  and  completion  of  information
technology  projects.  The  remainder of planned 2000  expenditures  will be for
improvements  in  cost,  quality,  capacity  and  reliability  of  manufacturing
operations.  The Company  does not expect such  capital  expenditures  to have a
material adverse effect on its long- term liquidity. The Company expects to fund
its working  capital  needs and capital  expenditures  with cash  provided  from
operations,  supplemented by borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility with
Fleet Capital  Corporation  ("Fleet  Revolving  Credit  Facility").  The Company
believes  these  sources of capital  will be  sufficient  to fund these  capital
expenditures and working capital requirements over the next 12 months,  although
there can be no assurance of this.

         Net cash provided by operating  activities in the first three months of
2000 was  approximately  $3.4  million,  as  compared  to net cash  provided  by
operating  activities  of  approximately  $7.5 million the first three months of
1999.  The positive cash flow from  operations for 2000 was primarily the result
of a decrease in accounts  receivable of  approximately  $4.5 million.  The cash
flow was also affected by an increase in accounts  payable and accrued  expenses
of approximately $4.0 million, non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of
approximately $1.1 million,  net loss of approximately $3.3 million, an increase
in  inventories  of  approximately  $1.8 million,  and other net  adjustments of
approximately $1.1 million.

         Net cash used in investing  activities  increased to approximately $4.8
million in the first three months of 2000 from approximately $2.1 million in the
same period for 1999,  primarily as a result of increased capital spending.  Net
cash  provided by  financing  activities  for the first three months of 2000 was
approximately $2.9 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of
approximately  $3.7 million for the first three  months of 1999,  primarily as a
result of increased net borrowings by the Company.

         Cash for the first three months of 2000  increased  approximately  $1.0
million  resulting in a cash balance of  approximately  $4.6 million at December
31, 1999.  Cash in the first three months of 1999 increased  approximately  $1.6
million,  resulting in a cash balance of approximately  $5.3 million at December
31, 1998.

         Total debt at December  31,  1999,  was  approximately  $187.2  million
compared to  approximately  $172.0  million at  December  31,  1998,  reflecting
increased borrowing under the Fleet Revolving Credit Facility.

         At December 31, 1999,  approximately  $47.2  million had been  borrowed
pursuant to the Fleet Revolving Credit Facility compared to approximately  $31.6
million  at  December  31,  1998.   In  addition,   as  of  December  31,  1999,
approximately  $500,000 in letter of credit  reimbursement  obligations had been
incurred by the Company. The Company had available additional borrowing capacity
of  approximately  $12.5  million  on the Fleet  Revolving  Credit  Facility  at
December 31, 1999.

Grand Jury Investigation

         A Federal Grand Jury is  investigating  possible  violations of federal
anti-trust  laws in the nickel alloy  industry.  The  Company,  along with other
companies in this  industry,  is responding  to the  Government's  request.  The
Company has engaged  outside  legal  counsel to  represent  its  interest in the
investigation.  Certain  costs  incurred by the Company in  connection  with the
investigation  have been accounted for as selling and administrative and charged
against  income in the period.  For the year ended  September 30, 1999,  and the
three month period ended December 31, 1999, these costs were  approximately $3.5
million and $250,000 respectively. While the outcome of the investigation cannot
be predicted  with  certainty,  in the opinion of  management,  there will be no
liability  incurred  in this matter  other than  ongoing  legal  expenses in its
defense.

Accounting Pronouncements

         SFAS No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging
Activities",  is effective  for all fiscal  quarters of fiscal  years  beginning
after  July  1,  2000.  This  statement  establishes  accounting  and  reporting
standards for derivative  instruments  and for hedging  activities.  It requires
that an entity  recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial  condition and measure those  instruments  at fair value.
Management  has  not yet  quantified  the  effect  of the  new  standard  on the
financial statements.

Year 2000

         The Company did not realize  any  detrimental  effect  relating to Year
2000. All  manufacturing and business systems are functioning in the manner they
were  intended to operate.  Furthermore,  the  Company has not  experienced  any
problems with its customer or suppliers  regarding Year 2000. The Company is not
aware of any remaining  uncertainties,  but in the event one should  arise,  the
Company's  Year  2000  Committee  will  remain  active  to  respond  to  such an
occurrence.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         At December 31, 1999,  the Company's  primary  market risk exposure was
foreign currency  exchange rate risk with respect to forward  contracts  entered
into by the Company's foreign  subsidiaries  located in England and France.  The
Company did not have any outstanding commodity contracts at December 31, 1999.

         The foreign  currency  exchange risk exists  primarily  because the two
foreign  subsidiaries  need U.S. dollars in order to pay for their  intercompany
purchases of high  performance  alloys from the Company's  U.S.  locations.  The
foreign  subsidiaries  manage their own foreign currency exchange risk. Any U.S.
dollar  exposure  aggregating  more than  $500,000  requires  approval  from the
Company's Vice President of Finance.  Most of the currency contracts to buy U.S.
dollars are with maturity dates of less than six months.

         At December 31, 1999,  the  unrealized  gain on these foreign  currency
exchange contracts was approximately $30,000.
