Prior to January 22, 1998, the Company had a $70 million unsecured revolving
credit facility ("Shiloh Facility") with KeyBank National Association
("KeyBank"). On January 22, 1998, the Company increased the Shiloh Facility to
$135 million. The term of the Shiloh Facility extends to January 31, 2003. The
Company has the option to select the applicable interest rate at KeyBank's prime
rate or the LIBOR rate plus a factor determined by a pricing matrix based on the
Company's ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA. As of April 30, 1998, the factor as
determined by the pricing matrix was .175%. The terms of the agreement require
an annual facility fee as determined by a pricing matrix based on the Company's
ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA. This annual facility fee is currently .3%.

Prior to January 22, 1998, the Company was acting as an 80% guarantor for a $28
million unsecured revolving credit facility ("SOM Facility") entered into by
Shiloh of Michigan with KeyBank. On January 22, 1998, the Company used $28
million of the Shiloh Facility to retire the outstanding balance of the SOM
Facility.

The Company executed a promissory note as of December 6, 1996 in favor of
Richland Bank in the aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million. Interest
accrues on the outstanding principal balance thereunder at LIBOR rate plus 3/4%.

Certain of the debt agreements described above contain various restrictive
covenants which, among others things, require the Company's various operating
subsidiaries to maintain minimum net worth levels and financial ratios. The
agreements also place certain restrictions on additional indebtedness and
capital expenditures.

Amounts available under the Company's revolving credit facilities, including the
SOM facility, aggregated $21.6 million at April 30, 1998.

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

General
- -------

The Company is a vertically integrated steel processor that supplies blanks,
stampings and processed steel to the automotive, heavy truck and other
industries. The Company currently provides a broad range of intermediate steel
processing services, which include: (i) blanking and stamping; and (ii) other
steel processing services (which include pickling hot rolled steel, slitting,
edge trimming, roller leveling and cutting to length of both hot and cold rolled
steel). The Company operates through ten subsidiaries, Shiloh Corporation,
Valley City Steel Company, The Sectional Die Company, Medina Blanking, Inc.,
Sectional Stamping, Inc., Liverpool Coil Processing, Inc., Shiloh of Michigan,
L.L.C., the Company's joint venture with Rouge Steel ("SOM"), Greenfield Die &
Manufacturing Company ("GDM"), C&H Design Company, d.b.a. C&H Die Technology
("C&H") and Jefferson Blanking, Inc..

In 1995, the Company prepared a long-term, business plan which included a
strategic decision to concentrate on the core steel processing business. As a
result, the Company sought inquires from prospective bidders for the sale of its
subsidiary, Shafer Valve Company ("Shafer Valve"). Effective April 30, 1996, the
Company accounted for Shafer Valve as a discontinued operation. In May 1996, the
Company entered into an agreement to sell the stock of Shafer Valve to Bettis
Corporation. The sale was completed on July 9, 1996.

The Company typically experiences decreased revenue and operating income during
the first fiscal quarter of each year, usually resulting from generally slower
overall automobile production during the winter months. The revenues and
operating income in the third fiscal quarter can also be affected by the
typically lower automobile production activities in July due to manufacturers'
changeover in production lines.

In analyzing the financial aspects of the Company's steel processing operations,
a number of factors must be considered. First, plant utilization levels are very
important to profitability because of the capital intensive nature of these
operations. Because the Company performs a number of different processing
operations, however, it is not meaningful to analyze simply the total tons of
steel processed. For example, blanking and stamping involve more operational
processes, from the design and manufacture of tools and dies to the production
and packaging of the final product, than the Company's other steel processing
services and therefore generally have higher margins. Second, a significant
portion of the Company's steel processing products and services is provided to
the customers on a toll processing basis. Under these arrangements, the Company
charges a specified toll processing fee for the processing operations performed
without acquiring ownership of the steel and being burdened with the attendant
costs of ownership and risk of loss. Although the proportion of tons processed
by the Company that are directly owned and toll processed may fluctuate from
quarter to quarter primarily based on the customers for which the Company is
providing services during the period, the Company estimates that during the past
three years approximately 87.2%, 85.9% and 86.4%, respectively, of total tons
processed were on a toll processing basis. Revenues from operations involving
directly owned steel include a component of raw material cost whereas toll
processing revenues do not, consequently, toll processing generally results in
lower gross profit, but higher gross margin, than directly owned steel
processing. Therefore, an increase in the proportion of total revenues
attributable to directly owned steel processing may result in higher revenues
and gross profits but lower gross margins. The Company's blanking and stamping
operations use more directly owned steel than do its other steel processing
operations. In addition, changes in the price of steel can impact the Company?s
results of operations because raw material costs are by far the largest
component of cost of sales in processing directly owned steel.

On November 25, 1997, the Company announced plans for the formation of a joint
venture with Bing Steel Management Inc. ("Bing") and Rouge Industries, Inc.
("Rouge") to produce and market first operation steel blanks for the automotive
industry. The entity that was formed by the joint venture, Bing Blanking LLC
("Bing LLC"), is a Michigan LLC and is principally managed and operated by Bing.
On March 31, 1998, the Company, 


                                       9
<PAGE>   10


through mutual agreement with the other parties, terminated its interest as a
member of Bing LLC due to the Company's decision to focus its resources on other
strategic initiatives.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998
COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997

REVENUES. Revenues increased by $11.3 million, or 16.0%, to $82.0 million for
the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from $70.7 million for the comparable period
in fiscal 1997. The increase in revenues is primarily due to the inclusion of
$4.8 million of revenues from C&H, which was acquired in August 1997. Revenues
from the blanking and stamping and the other steel processing operations for the
second quarter of fiscal 1998 increased approximately 18.6% and 8.7%,
respectively, from the comparable period in fiscal 1997. The percentage of
revenues from directly owned steel processed increased slightly to 72.0% for the
second quarter of fiscal 1998 from 71.6% for the comparable period in fiscal
1997. The percentage of revenues from toll processed steel decreased slightly to
28.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from 28.4% for the comparable period
in fiscal 1997. This slight shift in the mix of revenue from directly owned
steel processing and toll processing resulted from a large percentage of the
overall quarter growth coming from directly owned steel processing sales.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased by $2.1 million, or 13.6%, to $17.2 million
for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from $15.1 million for the comparable
period in fiscal 1997. Gross margin decreased to 20.9% for the second quarter of
fiscal 1998 from 21.4% for the comparable period in fiscal 1997. The slight
decline in gross margins is primarily attributed to the increase in directly
owned steel processing revenue of .4%.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 10.9% to $6.8 million for the second quarter
of fiscal 1998 from $6.1 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1997. As a
percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
to 8.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from 8.7% for the comparable
period in fiscal 1997. The largest component of this increase, in dollars, 
principally is a result of the inclusion of C&H for the second quarter of 1998.

OTHER. The Company incurred interest expense of $1.1 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 due primarily to increased average borrowings during the
period and the Company had $.6 million of interest expense in the comparable
period of fiscal 1997. Interest expense of approximately $.7 million relating to
expansion of several facilities was capitalized during the period. The provision
for income taxes was $3.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 compared
with $3.1 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1997, representing
effective tax rates of 38.4% and 36.6%, respectively. The lower rate in the
second quarter of fiscal 1997 reflects the utilization of certain state tax
credits.

NET INCOME. Net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of
fiscal 1998 increased by $.4 million, or 7.4%, to $5.8 million from $5.4 million
for the comparable period in fiscal 1997. This increase was primarily the result
of net income improvements at the Company's blanking and stamping divisions.

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998
COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997

REVENUES. Revenues increased by $20.7 million, or 15.3%, to $156.0 million for
the first six months of fiscal 1998 from $135.3 million for the comparable
period in fiscal 1997. The increase in revenues is primarily due to the
inclusion of $9.4 million of revenues from C&H. The remaining increase is
attributed to a significant volume increase at our Sectional Stamping division.
Revenues from the blanking and stamping and the other steel processing
operations for the first six months of fiscal 1998 increased approximately 19.9%
and 2.8%, respectively, from the comparable period in fiscal 1997. The
percentage of revenues from directly owned steel decreased to 71.9% for the
first six months of fiscal 1998 from 73.0% for the comparable period in fiscal
1997. Revenues from toll processed steel increased to 28.1% for the first six
months of fiscal 1998 from 27.0% for the comparable period in fiscal 1997. The
increase in the percentage of revenues from toll processed steel was primarily
due to the increased toll processing revenue and tonnage at certain facilities
during the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased by $4.5 million, or 16.3%, to $32.2 million
for the first six months of fiscal 1998 from $27.7 million for the comparable
period in fiscal 1997. Gross margin increased to 20.6% for the first six months
of fiscal 1998 from 20.5% for the comparable period in fiscal 1997.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $1.5 million, or 12.9% to $12.9 million for
the first six months of fiscal 1998 from $11.4 million for the comparable period
in fiscal 1997. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased to 8.3% for the first six months of fiscal 1998 from 8.5% for
the comparable period in fiscal 1997. The largest component of the increase, in
dollars, arose principally from the inclusion of C&H. In addition, the increase
was attributable to start-up costs of Jefferson Blanking during the first six
months of fiscal 1998.

OTHER. Interest expense increased to $2.1 million for the first six months of
fiscal 1998 from $.7 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1997 due
primarily to increased average borrowings during the first six months of fiscal
1998 that were primarily in connection with the acquisition of C&H and
significant capital expenditures made during fiscal 1997 and 1998. Interest
expense of approximately $1.3 million relating to expansion of several
facilities was capitalized during the first six months of fiscal 1998. The
provision for income taxes was $6.7 million for the first six months of fiscal
1998 compared with $6.0 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1997,
representing effective tax rates of 38.4% and 37.5%, respectively.

NET INCOME. Net income from continuing operations for the first six months of
fiscal 1998 increased by $.8 million, or 8.0%, to $10.8 million from $10.0
million for the comparable period in fiscal 1997. This increase was primarily
the result of net income improvements at the Company's blanking and stamping
divisions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At April 30, 1998, the Company had $46.6 million of working capital,
representing a current ratio of 2.17 to 1 and a debt-to-capitalization ratio of
42.7%. As a result of the financial condition of the Company, the Company
believes that it will be able to continue its planned investment in new
equipment and facilities through fiscal 1998.

Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily generated from net income
of the Company plus non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, which,
because of the capital intensive nature of the Company's business, are
substantial. Net cash provided by operating activities during the first six
months of fiscal 1998 was $20.6 million as compared to $10.9 million for the
comparable period of fiscal 1997. Net cash provided by operating activities has
historically been used by the Company to fund a portion of its capital
expenditures.

Capital expenditures were $41.2 million during the first six months of fiscal
1998 and $22.8 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1997. Approximately
$37.0 million of the capital expenditures during the first half of fiscal 1998
were for expansions of the Company's current blanking and stamping facilities as
well as new construction at Jefferson Blanking. The Company's total capital
budget for fiscal 1998, including carryover from the previous year amounts to
approximately $68.0 million. These additions are being constructed or obtained
to support increased business and anticipated new business and to enhance
productivity.

Prior to January 22, 1998, the Company had a $70 million unsecured revolving
credit facility ("Shiloh Facility") with KeyBank National Association
("KeyBank"). On January 22, 1998, the Company increased the Shiloh Facility to
$135 million. The term of the Shiloh Facility extends to January 31, 2003. The
Company has the option to select the applicable interest rate at KeyBank's prime
rate or the LIBOR rate plus a factor determined by a pricing matrix based on the
Company's ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA. As of April 30, 1998, the factor as
determined by the pricing matrix was .175%. The terms of the agreement require
an annual facility fee as determined by a pricing matrix based on the Company's
ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA. This annual facility fee is currently .3%.

Prior to January 22, 1998, the Company was acting as an 80% guarantor for a $28
million unsecured revolving credit facility ("SOM Facility") entered into by
Shiloh of Michigan with KeyBank. On January 22, 1998, the Company used $28
million of the Shiloh Facility to retire the outstanding balance of the SOM
Facility.

The Company executed a promissory note as of December 6, 1996 in favor of
Richland Bank in the aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million. Interest
accrues on the outstanding principal balance thereunder at LIBOR rate plus 3/4%.

In March 1995, Medina County, Ohio issued on the behalf of the Company an
aggregate of $5.4 million in principal amount of variable rate industrial
revenue bonds due 2010, which are secured by the Company with a letter of
credit. The funds from these bonds were used to finance a portion of the
expansion at the Company's steel pickling operations in Valley City, Ohio. The
$5.4 million of such proceeds was outstanding as of April 30, 1998.

The Company believes that it currently has sufficient liquidity and available
capital resources to meet its existing needs, and the financial capability to
increase its long-term borrowing level if that becomes appropriate due to
changes in its capital requirements. Total availability under the Company's
unsecured lines of credit and revolving credit facilities is $139.0 million,
$21.6 million of which was unused at April 30, 1998.

The Company has initiated a review of its management and information systems to
discover whether such systems are year 2000 compliant. Although the Company has
not completed such a review, the Company does not anticipate that significant
compliance efforts will be required. The Company is unable to determine the
extent to which year 2000 issues will impact its suppliers with respect to
orders and shipments of material used 

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

by the Company, however, the Company does not anticipate that year 2000 
compliance issues of its suppliers, if any, will have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition or results of
operations.
