                            COLD METAL PRODUCTS, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1.  OPINION OF MANAGEMENT

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals,
necessary to present fairly the financial position of Cold Metal Products, Inc.
and subsidiary (the Company) as of June 30, 1997 and March 31, 1997, the results
of operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and
changes in cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The
results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include footnotes and
certain financial information normally presented annually under generally
accepted accounting principles and therefore, should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1997.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which is effective
for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The
Company does not expect SFAS No. 128 to have a material effect on the
computation of earnings per share.

NOTE 2. RESULTS OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS

Net sales, operating income, and net income, respectively, of the Company's
Canadian operations were $45.0 million, $1.7 million and $800,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997, and $29.2 million, $1.3 million and $690,000 for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

NOTE 3.  PER SHARE CALCULATIONS

Primary earnings per common share have been computed based upon the average
weighted outstanding shares of 7,162,118 for the three months ended June 30,1997
and 7,162,250 for the three month period ended June 30,1996.

</TABLE>

         Net sales for the three-months ended June 30, 1997 were $78.2 million,
representing a $15.8 million or 25.4% increase from the corresponding three
months ended June 30, 1996. The increase was mainly attributable to the
consolidation of sales of Direct Steel, which became a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company in June 1996. Excluding this effect, the Company's sales
increased $3.9 million, or 6.3%. Volume of tons shipped excluding the Direct
Steel effect was up 10%, accounting for a $6.4 million sales increase, offset by
an aggregate decrease in sales dollars per ton of $2.5 million due to a decline
in average selling price which resulted from a mix shift to products yielding
lower revenue per ton.

         Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $6.0 million
or 7.7% of net sales, compared to $6.4 million or 10.3% of net sales for the
three months ended June 30, 1996. Gross profit was affected by ramp-up costs and
lower sales volume of approximately $765,000 at the Company's expanded facility
in Ottawa, Ohio and the consolidation of Direct Steel's sales which generally
carry lower margins. Additionally, raw material price increases and less
favorable product mix also impacted the current period margins.

         Selling and administrative costs of $4.1 million in the quarter ended
June 30, 1997 represented 5.3% of sales as compared to $3.8 million in the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, which represented 6.1% of sales. The increased
amount is due to the consolidation of Direct Steel's results for the full
quarter in the current year, compared with consolidation of twelve days in the
quarter ended June 30. 1996, while the percentage decrease reflected the
increased sales.

                                        8


<PAGE>   9



         Income from equity investment at Direct Steel was $28,000 in the prior
year quarter. Subsequent to June 18, 1996, its operations were consolidated with
the Company's and no longer reported as income from equity investment.

         Interest expense was $1.1 million or 1.4% of net sales for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $505,000 or .8% of net sales in the
first quarter of fiscal year 1997. Interest costs for the current year quarter
include $467,000 of costs associated with the Ottawa expansion project. In the
prior year quarter, interest costs associated with the project were capitalized.
Additional increase in interest costs in the current quarter resulted from
acquisition activity during fiscal 1997.

         Income before taxes was $752,000 or 1.0% of net sales for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. This was a decrease of $1.4 million over the income
before taxes in the three month period ending June 30, 1996. The income before
taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $2.1 million, or 3.4% of net
sales.

         Income taxes for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 were
$273,000, or .4% of net sales compared to $745,000, or 1.2% of net sales for the
same period ended June 30, 1996. The effective tax rate was 36.3% in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1997 compared with a 34.7% rate for the prior year
period.

         Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $479,000, or
$.07 per share based on 7,162,118 shares as compared to $1.4 million, or $.20
per share based on 7,162,250 shares for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
The Company expects that net income for fiscal 1998 will continue to reflect
operation of the expanded Ottawa facility at below break-even levels until the
third or fourth quarter of the fiscal year.

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

         Net cash used by operating activities was $1.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997, reflecting cash provided from net income and
non-cash depreciation charges, and cash used by changes in working capital.
Changes in working capital reflected an increase in inventory levels during the
quarter somewhat offset by a corresponding increase 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 $1.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997, reflecting spending for capital projects during the
quarter.

         Cash flows from financing activities provided $3.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. The Company's various bank lending
arrangements provide a maximum borrowing availability of approximately $90.9
million of which $64.9 million was outstanding at June 30, 1997.

          Management expects that cash generated from operating activities and
its borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet planned capital expenditure
needs 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.
