NOTE 5. ACQUISITION:

         Effective June 18, 1996, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding
shares of its 50% equity affiliate, Direct Steel, Inc., ("Direct Steel"), for
approximately $2.6 million. Direct Steel operates a steel service center located
in Concord, Ontario, Canada. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase and, accordingly, assets and liabilities are reflected at estimated
fair values. The preliminary allocation of purchase price resulted in goodwill
of approximately $1.9 million, which is being amortized over 40 years.

         The following unaudited pro forma information has been derived from the
Company's income statement for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30,
1995 and adjusts such information to give effect to the acquisition of the
remaining outstanding shares of Direct as if the acquisition had occurred on
April 1, 1995. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes
only and does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that
actually would have resulted if the acquisition had been consummated on April 1,
1995, nor which may result from future operations.

NOTE 6.  SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT

         As of June 30, 1996, short term revolving line of credit included $9.7
million of borrowings under a line of credit agreement between Direct Steel and
its major lender. The line of credit is collateralized by accounts receivable
and inventory of Direct Steel under a general security agreement which contains
customary restrictions concerning various ratios. At period end, Direct Steel
was in default with respect to covenants regarding the minimum gross margin and
the debt to tangible net worth. Accordingly, the lender has the right to demand
payment of the amount due. The lender has, in writing, waived its rights in
respect to the breach as of June 30, 1996.

         Long term debt includes $197,000 of loans payable to former
shareholders of Direct Steel.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following is management's discussion and analysis of financial

</TABLE>

         Net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996 were $62.4
million, representing a $1.2 million or 1.9% increase from the corresponding
three month period ended June 30, 1995. The increase was attributable to (i) an
increase in tonnage shipped by the Company before taking into account activity
at Direct Steel, offset somewhat by lower selling prices per ton, and (ii)
consolidation of Direct Steel's sales with those of the Company. Activity
increased as buying patterns in the marketplace better matched consumption
compared to the prior year period.

         Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $6.4 million
or 10.3% of net sales, compared to $6.1 million or 10.0% of net sales for the
three months ended June 30, 1995. Prior year gross profits reflected sales of
higher cost inventory in a softening price market, which caused a deterioration
in margins.

         Selling and administrative costs of $3.8 million in the first quarter
of fiscal year 1997 represented 6.1% of sales as compared to $3.4 million in the
first quarter of fiscal year 1996, which represented 5.5% of sales. The increase
in selling and administrative cost as a percent of sales reflected higher
personnel and professional expenses associated with the Company's growth plan.

         Income from Direct Steel on the equity basis, prior to June 18, 1996
when its operations were consolidated with the Company's, was $28,000, a slight
increase over the $9,000 of income to the Company on the equity basis for the
first quarter of the prior year.

         Interest expense was $505,000 or .8% of net sales for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $826,000 or 1.3% of net sales in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1996. Lower interest rates, as well as lower borrowing
levels associated with improved inventory management were responsible for the
decrease.

         Income before taxes was $2.2 million or 3.4% of net sales for the three
months ended June 30, 1996. This was an increase of $196,000 over the income
before taxes in the three month period ending June 30, 1995. The income before
taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1995 was $2.0 million, or 3.2% of net
sales.

         Income taxes for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 were
$745,000, or 1.2% of net sales compared to $687,000, or 1.1% of net sales for
the same period ended June 30, 1995. The income tax rate was 35.1% in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1996 compared with a 35.3% tax rate for the prior year
period, not taking into account the Company's equity interest in the income of
Direct Steel.

         Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $1.4 million,
or $.20 per share based on 7,162,250 shares as compared to $1.3 million, or $.18
per share based on 7,181,250 shares for the three months ended June 30, 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996, reflecting cash provided from net income,
non-cash depreciation charges, and cash provided by changes in working capital.
Changes in working capital reflected the decrease in inventory levels during the
quarter somewhat offset by a corresponding decrease in accounts payable and a
decrease in accrued expenses as a result of normal timing for pay-outs of
year-end accrual items such as payroll bonuses.

         Cash used in investing activities was $7.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996. Approximately $2.6 million was spent to acquire all shares
of Direct Steel not previously owned by the Company. Capital expenditures were
$4.4 million, the majority of which were associated with the Company's Ottawa
expansion project.

         Cash flows from financing activities provided $4.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996. The Company's revolving credit facilities
provide a maximum availability of approximately $84 million of which $52.1
million was outstanding at June 30, 1996. Direct Steel was in violation of
certain covenants relating to its maintenance of certain ratios in loan
agreements to which Direct Steel is a party. The balance of the Company's
indebtedness is not affected. The lender has waived its rights with respect to 
Direct Steel's breach as of June 30, 1996. The Company is currently 
negotiating a restructure of Direct Steel's financing agreement with the 
current lender.

          Management expects that cash generated from operating activities and
its borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet planned capital expenditures
and other cash requirements for the next twelve months. As the Company pursues
its growth strategy of expanding through core business acquisitions, capital
requirements may change and the Company may from time to time seek additional
financing.
