                           HAYNES INTERNATIONAL, INC.
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2000

Note 1.           Basis of Presentation

         The  interim  financial   statements  are  unaudited  and  reflect  all
adjustments  (consisting  solely of normal recurring  adjustments)  that, in the
opinion of  management,  are necessary  for a fair  statement of results for the
interim periods presented.  This report includes information in a condensed form
and  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  audited  consolidated  financial
statements  included in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  September 30, 1999,
filed by the Company  with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") on
December  28,  1999.  The results of  operations  for the six months ended March
31,2000,  are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year or any other interim period.

Note 2.           Inventories

         The following is a summary of the major classes of inventories:

                              September 30, 1999        March 31, 2000
                              ------------------        --------------

                                  =========                =======

Note 3.           Income Taxes

         The  provision  for  income  taxes for the three  months and six months
ended March 31,  2000,  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.  During the second
quarter  of  fiscal  1999,  the  Company  reversed  approximately  $4,460 of its
deferred tax liability associated with the undistributed earnings of two foreign
affiliates.  The Company  concluded that the cumulative  earnings from these two
affiliates,  $12.2  million,  will  be  permanently  invested  overseas.

Note 4.           Terminated Acquisition Costs

         On March 3, 1998,  the Company  announced  that Haynes  Holdings,  Inc.
("Holdings"),  its  parent  corporation,  and  Blackstone  Capital  Partners  II
Merchant  Banking  Fund  L.P.  and  two of its  affiliates  ("Blackstone"),  had
abandoned  their attempt to acquire Inco Alloys  International  ("IAI"),  a 100%
owned business unit of Inco Limited ("Inco"). Certain deferred acquisition costs
were charged to operations in the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

Note 5.           Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle

         Effective January 1, 2000, the Company changed its method of amortizing
unrecognized  actuarial gains and losses with respect to its pension benefits to
amortize  them over the lesser of five years or the  average  remaining  service
period of active  participants.  The method  previously used was to amortize any
unrecognized  gain or loss over the average  remaining  service period of active
participants  (approximately  12 years).  The $640,000  cumulative effect of the
change on prior years (after reduction for income taxes of $426,000) is included
in income of the six months  ended March 31,  2000.  The effect of the change on
the three months ended March 31, 2000, was to increase net income $262,000;  the
effect of the change on the six months  ended  March 31,  2000,  was to increase
income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle by $524,000.

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 March 31, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1999

         Net  Revenues.  Net revenues  increased  approximately  $2.3 million to
approximately  $57.6  million  in  the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  2000,  from
approximately $55.3 million in the second quarter of 1999, primarily as a result
of a 11.4%  increase in volume  from  approximately  4.4  million  pounds in the
second quarter of 1999 to approximately 4.9 million pounds in the second quarter
of 2000.  The increase in volume was partially  offset by a 6.1% decrease in the
average  selling price per pound,  falling from $12.28 per pound for fiscal 1999
to $11.53 per pound for fiscal 2000.

         Sales to the  aerospace  industry in the second  quarter of fiscal 2000
increased  by 5.9% to  approximately  $24.8  million  from  approximately  $23.4
million for the same period a year earlier, due primarily to a 15.9% increase in
volume.  The  increased  volume was the result of improved  domestic  and export
sales  directly  to gas  turbine  component  fabricators  and  resupply  of flat
products in the domestic market for airframe  parts.  The increase in volume was
partially  offset by a decline in the average  selling  price per pound due to a
greater  proportion of the lower priced product forms and alloys.  The aerospace
industry supply chain continues to adjust to changes in the commercial  aircraft
build schedules.

         Sales to the chemical processing industry decreased  approximately $3.8
million to  approximately  $15.5  million for the second  quarter of fiscal 2000
from approximately $19.3 million for the second quarter of 1999 due primarily to
a 20.8% decline in volume.  The decline in volume can be attributed to decreased
worldwide project related activity. A 1.3% increase in the average selling price
per pound partially offset the decrease in volume.

         Sales to the land-based  gas turbine  industry  increased  62.1% in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 to approximately  $9.4 million from  approximately
$5.8 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 large increase in volume was primarily due to improved export of proprietary
and specialty alloy products.

         Sales to the  flue  gas  desulfurization  industry  increased  18.8% to
approximately  $1.9  million for the second  quarter of 2000 from  approximately
$1.6 million for the second quarter of 1999.  Project  related  activity for new
equipment  has  increased  as a  result  of  enforcement  of  global  clean  air
standards.  This  market is  characterized  by large  project  requirements  and
moderate continuing repair and maintenance needs.

         Sales to the oil and gas industry increased  approximately  $100,000 in
the second quarter of fiscal 2000 to approximately  $200,000 from  approximately
$100,000  for the  same  period a year  earlier.  The  increase  in  volume  was
partially  offset by a decrease in the  average  selling  price per pound.  This
market is entirely dependent upon large drilling  projects,  the timing of which
are difficult to predict.

                                    Page 8 of 18


<PAGE>

         Sales to other industries increased 50.0% to approximately $5.4 million
for  the  second  quarter  of  2000  from  approximately  $3.6  million  for the
comparable  period a year  ago,  due  primarily  to an  increase  in  volume  in
automotive,  wear,  electronics,  glass and industrial heating markets partially
offset by a reduction in the average selling price per pound.

         Cost of Sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues  increased
to 77.5% for the second  quarter of fiscal  2000  compared  to 75.9% in the same
period last year.  The higher cost of sales  percentage  in fiscal 2000 resulted
primarily from higher raw material costs and higher distribution costs.

         Selling  and  Administrative   Expenses.   Selling  and  administrative
expenses decreased  approximately  $600,000 to approximately $5.9 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 from approximately $6.5 million in the same period
a year ago,  primarily as a result of a non-recurring  charge in connection with
the  transition of executive  management  that occurred in the second quarter of
fiscal 1999,  partially offset by expenses  related to the Company's  compliance
with the  Department of Justice's  investigation  into the nickel alloy industry
and expenses  associated  with the Company's  implementation  of an  information
technology project.

         Research  and  Technical  Expenses.  Research  and  technical  expenses
decreased approximately $100,000 to approximately $900,000 in the second quarter
of 2000 from approximately $1.0 million in the second quarter of 1999, primarily
as a result of decreased operating costs.

         Operating  Income.  As a  result  of the  above  factors,  the  Company
recognized operating income for the second quarter of 2000 of approximately $6.2
million,  approximately  $1.4 million of which was  contributed by the Company's
foreign  subsidiaries.  For the  second  quarter of 1999,  operating  income was
approximately $5.8 million,  of which approximately $1.2 million was contributed
by the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

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

         Terminated   Acquisition   Costs.   Terminated   acquisition  costs  of
approximately $400,000 were recorded in the second quarter of 1999 in connection
with the abandoned attempt to acquire IAI by Holdings.

         Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased approximately $500,000 to
approximately  $5.6  million for the second  quarter of 2000 from  approximately
$5.1 million for the same period in 1999.  Higher  revolving credit balances and
higher  interest  rates during the second  quarter of fiscal 2000  accounted for
this increase.

         Income  Taxes.  An income tax  benefit of  approximately  $300,000  was
recorded for the second  quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to  approximately  $4.7
million in the second  quarter of fiscal  1999.  The tax  benefit for the second
quarter of fiscal 1999  related to the  reversal of the  Company's  deferred tax
liability associated with the undistributed earnings of two foreign affiliates.

         Net Income.  As a result of the above factors,  the Company  recognized
net income for the second quarter of 2000 of approximately $700,000, compared to
approximately $5.0 million for the second quarter of 1999.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 1999

         Net  Revenues.  Net revenues  increased  approximately  $1.1 million to
approximately $105.6 million in the first half of 2000 from approximately $104.5
million in the first half of 1999,  primarily as a result of a 13.6% increase in
shipments,  to approximately 9.2 million pounds in the first six months of 2000,
from  approximately  8.1 million pounds in the first six months of 1999.  Volume
increases occurred in all markets except chemical  processing,  which suffered a
decrease.  Average  selling prices per pound decreased to $11.30 from $12.59 for
the first six months of 2000, compared to the same period in 1999.

         Sales to the  aerospace  industry in the first half of 2000 declined by
7.9% to  approximately  $42.9 million from  approximately  $46.6 million for the
same period a year earlier,  due primarily to a decrease in the average  selling
price per pound partially  offset by an increase in volume.  The decrease in the
average  selling  price  results  from a larger  proportion  of the lower valued
nickel-base  alloys and forms compared to the higher priced specialty alloys and
titanium tubulars.

         Sales to the  chemical  processing  industry  declined  by 21.3% in the
first  six  months  of  fiscal  2000  to   approximately   $28.5   million  from
approximately $36.2 million in 1999 due to both volume and average selling price
per pound  declines.  The  decrease  in volume  can be  attributed  to a lack of
project related business.

         Sales to the land-based gas turbine  industry  increased  approximately
$7.1 million in the first six months of 2000 to approximately $16.2 million from
approximately  $9.1  million  for the same  period in 1999 due  primarily  to an
increase in volume.  The increase in volume was the result of increased sales of
proprietary  alloy  products to meet the growing  demand for gas turbines in the
power generation  market. The increase in volume was partially offset by a 12.7%
decline in the average  selling price per pound,  primarily  caused by increased
sales of lower priced product forms and alloys.

         Sales to the flue gas desulfurization  industry increased approximately
$1.6 million to approximately  $3.6 million from  approximately $2.0 million due
to both volume and average selling price  increases,  due primarily to increased
domestic  sales  resulting  from  increasing  enforcement  of United  States air
quality standards.

         Sales to the oil and gas  industry  in the  first  six  months  of 2000
increased   approximately  $2.5  million  to  approximately  $3.2  million  from
approximately $700,000 in 1999, due primarily to a single well for a proprietary
seamless tubing alloy which shipped during the period.

         Sales to other  industries  increased  by 40.0% to  approximately  $9.8
million from  approximately  $7.0 million due to both volume and average selling
price  increases for the first six months of 2000. The increase in volume can be
attributed to improved shipments into the automotive,  wear, electronics,  glass
production, and industrial heating industries.

         Cost of Sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues  increased
to 79.7% for the first six months of 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 and lower volumes of higher
value added coil,  sheet, and seamless product forms due to significant  planned
outages in sheet and coil equipment in the first quarter of 2000.

         Selling  and  Administrative   Expenses.   Selling  and  administrative
expenses  were  relatively  flat in the first six months of 2000 compared to the
first six months of 1999.

         Research and Technical  Expenses.  Research and technical expenses were
relatively flat in the first six months of 2000 compared to the first six months
of 1999 as  increased  salary  and  related  benefits  were more than  offset by
reduced operating costs.

         Operating  Income.  As a  result  of the  above  factors,  the  Company
recognized  operating  income for the first six months of 2000 of  approximately
$8.1  million,  approximately  $2.4  million  of which  was  contributed  by the
Company's  foreign  subsidiaries.  For the first six  months of 1999,  operating
income was approximately  $11.9 million, of which approximately $2.5 million was
contributed by the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

         Other. Other cost increased  approximately  $200,000 from approximately
$300,000 in the first half of 1999 to approximately  $500,000 for the first half
of 2000, primarily due to higher contract service fees.

         Terminated   Acquisition   Costs.   Terminated   acquisition  costs  of
approximately  $400,000  were  recorded  in the  first  six  months  of  1999 in
connection with the abandoned attempt to acquire IAI by Holdings.

         Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased approximately $700,000 to
approximately  $10.9 million for the first half of 2000 from approximately $10.2
million  for the same  period in 1999.  Higher  revolving  credit  balances  and
interest rates accounted for this increase.

         Income  Taxes.  An income tax  benefit of  approximately  $900,000  was
recorded for the first six months of 2000 compared to approximately $4.1 million
in fiscal 1999. The tax benefit for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 related to
the  reversal  of the  Company's  deferred  tax  liability  associated  with the
undistributed earnings of two foreign affiliates.

         Change in Accounting  Principle.  The cumulative  effect of a change in
accounting  principle  represents a change in the Company's method of amortizing
unrecognized  actuarial  gains and losses with respect to its pension  benefits.
The cumulative effect includes income of approximately $1.0 million,  reduced by
an approximately $400,000 tax provision.

         Net  Income  (Loss).  As a result of the  above  factors,  the  Company
recognized a net loss for the first half of 2000 of approximately  $1.6 million,
compared to net income of approximately $5.2 million for the first half 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  $5.8  million in the first six months of 2000,  compared to
capital  expenditures of approximately  $5.5 million for the first six months of
1999. Capital spending for the first six months of 2000 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"), and capital lease obligations.  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 used in operating  activities  in the first six months of 2000
was approximately  $10.1 million,  as compared to approximately  $1.4 million in
the first six months of 1999.  The negative cash flow from  operations  for 2000
was the result of a net loss of  approximately  $1.6  million,  an  increase  in
inventories of approximately $7.7 million, an increase in accounts receivable of
approximately  $5.4  million,  an increase in accounts  payable and  accruals of
approximately   $4.6  million,   non-cash   depreciation   and  amortization  of
approximately   $2.2   million,   a  decrease  in  the  deferred  tax  asset  of
approximately  $300,000,  and other net adjustments used in operating activities
of approximately $2.5 million.

                                   Page 11 of 18


<PAGE>

         Net cash used in investing  activities  increased to approximately $5.6
million in the first six months of 2000 from  approximately  $5.2 million in the
same period for 1999,  primarily as a result of increased capital spending.  Net
cash  provided  by  financing  activities  for the first six  months of 2000 was
approximately  $16.7  million,  compared to  approximately  $5.6 million for six
months of 1999, primarily as a result of increased net borrowings by the Company
in support of increased working capital requirements.

         Cash for the first six months of 2000 increased approximately $600,000,
resulting in a March 31, 2000 cash balance of approximately  $4.1 million.  Cash
in the first six months of 1999 decreased approximately $1.3 million,  resulting
in a March 31, 1999 cash balance of approximately $2.4 million.

         Total debt at March 31, 2000, was approximately $201.4 million compared
to  approximately  $180.6  million  at  March  31,  1999,  reflecting  increased
borrowing under the Fleet Revolving Credit Facility.

         At March  31,  2000,  approximately  $61.1  million  had been  borrowed
pursuant to the Fleet Revolving Credit Facility compared to approximately  $41.0
million at March 31,  1999.  In  addition,  as of March 31,  2000  approximately
$500,000 in letter of credit reimbursement  obligations had been incurred by the
Company.  The Fleet  Revolving  Credit  Facility  includes a reserve for accrued
interest,  payable March 1 and September 1, in connection  with the Senior Notes
of  approximately  $1.4  million at March 31,  2000.  The Company had  available
additional  borrowing  capacity  of  approximately  $6.4  million  on the  Fleet
Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2000.

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 six
month period ended March 31, 2000, these costs were  approximately  $3.5 million
and $700,000,  respectively.  While the outcome of the  investigation  cannot be
predicted with certainty,  in the opinion of management,  resolution is expected
by the end of fiscal 2000 and 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 Costs

         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 customers 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 March 31, 2000,  the Company's  primary  market risk  exposures were
foreign currency  exchange rate risk with respect to forward  contracts  entered
into by the  Company's  foreign  subsidiaries  located in England and France and
commodity  price risk with respect to forward  contracts for nickel entered into
by the Company.

         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.  The  commodity  price
risk  existed at March 31, 2000 with  respect to a forward  contract to purchase
nickel as a hedge against a large project order booked by the Company during the
second quarter.

         At March 31,  2000,  the Company did not have any  outstanding  foreign
currency exchange  contracts.  At March 31, 2000 the Company did have one nickel
forward commodity contract with an unrealized gain of $12,000.

Dear Sirs:

At your request, we have read the description  included in your Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q to the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  for the quarter ended
March 31,  2000,  of the  facts  relating  to a change in Haynes  International,
Inc.'s method of amortizing cumulative  unrecognized  actuarial gains and losses
related to pension benefits from the minimum  amortization  method as defined by
Statement  of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 87, to a method  whereby the
Company will amortize into income any cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains or
losses in excess of a 10% corridor  over the lesser of five years or the average
remaining service period of active participants. We believe, on the basis of the
facts  so  set  forth  and  other  information  furnished  to us by  appropriate
officials of the Company, that the accounting change described in your Form 10-Q
is  to  an  alternative  accounting  principle  that  is  preferable  under  the
circumstances.

We  have  not  audited  any   consolidated   financial   statements   of  Haynes
International,  Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as of any date or for any
period  subsequent to September 30, 1999.  Therefore,  we are unable to express,
and we do not express,  an opinion on the facts set forth in the above-mentioned
Form 10-Q,  on the  related  information  furnished  to us by  officials  of the
Company, or on the financial position,  results of operations,  or cash flows of
Haynes International,  Inc. and its consolidated  subsidiaries as of any date or
for any period subsequent to September 30, 1999.

Yours truly,



/s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP
