                            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, 1998 and March 31, 1998, the results
of operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, and
changes in cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. The
results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 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, 1998.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131 requires that a public
business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its
reportable operating segments such as a measure of segment profit or loss,
certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment assets. The Company does
not expect adoption of this standard to have a material effect on financial
position or results of operation, as the Company operates in one business
segment, intermediate steel processing.

NOTE 2. RESULTS OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS

Net sales, operating income, and net income (loss), respectively, of the
Company's Canadian operations were $33.8 million, $64,000 million and $(249,000)
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, and $45.0 million, $1.7 million and
$800,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.


NOTE 3.  PER SHARE CALCULATIONS

Primary earnings per common share have been computed based upon the average
weighted outstanding shares of 7,074,250 for the three months ended June 30,
1998 and 7,162,118 for the three month period ended June 30, 1997. Basic and
dilutive earnings per share amounts are the same as the effect of dilutive
outstanding stock options is immaterial.

NOTE 5. DIRECTORS' INCENTIVE PLAN

In accordance with Non-Employee Directors' Incentive Plan, one director has
elected to receive shares of stock on a deferred basis in lieu of cash payments
of his 1999 annual retainer fee. As of June 30, 1998, a total of 14,483 of the
60,000 shares reserved under the Plan for such deferral elections, was committed
to be issued at the end of the deferment period, which is a specified period
after the Director's resignation or certain other events, such as a sale or
merger of the Company.

NOTE 6.  CONTINGENCIES

In July 1998, the Company negotiated a settlement in connection with a court
awarded verdict against the Company involving an injured employee. The
settlement had no significant impact to the Company's statement of operations
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 or the consolidated financial position
as of June 30, 1998.

NOTE 7.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Effective April 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130
establishes new standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components.
Comprehensive income is a measurement of all changes in shareholders' equity
that result from transactions and other economic events other than transactions
with shareholders.

Consolidated statements of comprehensive income are as follow:

</TABLE>
                                                                             
     Net sales for the three-months ended June 30, 1998 were $66.9 million,
representing a $11.4 million or 14.5% decrease from the corresponding three
months ended June 30, 1997. Volume of tons shipped was down 15%, accounting for
a $12.1 million sales decrease, offset by a slight increase in sales dollars per
ton of $700,000, due to a shift in sales mix to specialty strip, a higher
revenue product. Though sales volume was up at the expanded Ottawa facility,
several factors combined to account for the overall loss of volume and revenue.
Lower activity levels in the Canadian service center markets resulted from the
Company's decision to reduce lower-margin business, the General Motors work
stoppage impacted shipments, financial conditions in Asia resulted in low priced
imports capturing some of the Company's market share, and a lower Canadian
exchange rate affected the sales dollars comparison.

     Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $5.4 million or
8.1% of net sales, compared to $6.0 million or 7.7% of net sales for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. The drop in sales volume was somewhat offset by the
effect of cost-reduction efforts implemented last year, as well as improvement
in margins at the Ottawa facility.

     Selling and administrative costs of $3.8 million in the quarter ended June
30, 1998 represented 5.7% of sales as compared to $4.1 million in the quarter
ended June 30, 1997, which represented 5.3% of sales. Lower selling and
administrative costs also reflect the effect of cost-reduction efforts
implemented at the end of the prior fiscal year, as well as effects from lower
exchange rates.

     Interest expense was $1.1 million or 1.7% of net sales for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 was unchanged from $1.1 million or 1.4% in the first quarter
of fiscal year 1997.

     Income before taxes was $509,000 or .7% of net sales for the three months
ended June 30, 1998. The income before taxes for the three months ended June 30,
1997 was $752,000, or 1.0% of net sales.

     Income taxes for the three month period ended June 30, 1998 were $147,000
or .2% of net sales compared to $273,000, or .4% of net sales for the same
period ended June 30, 1997. The effective tax rate was 28.9% in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1998 compared with a 36.3% rate for the prior year
period. The lower effective tax rate in the current year period reflected the
reversal of a small portion of valuation allowance.

     Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $362,000, or $.05
per share based on 7,074,250 shares as compared to $479,000, or $.07 per share
based on 7,162,118 shares for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

     As the Company enters its second fiscal quarter, the General Motors strike
and the adverse financial conditions in Asia present certain challenges for the
Company. Continued weakness in the Asian markets and the effects of the General
Motors strike and rate of recovery could continue to negatively impact volume
and profit levels.

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

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998, reflecting cash provided from net income, non-cash
depreciation charges, and changes in working capital. Changes in working capital
reflected a decrease in accounts receivable which resulted from lower sales
volume levels during the quarter, somewhat offset by an increase in inventories
and a slight decrease in accounts payable due to timing of purchases.

     Cash used in investing activities was $1.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, reflecting spending for capital projects during the
quarter.

     Cash flows from financing activities consumed $2.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. The Company's various bank lending arrangements
provide a maximum borrowing availability of approximately $89.9 million of which
$61.3 million was outstanding at June 30, 1998.

     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.
