In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated

ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, and changes in cash flows for the six months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The results of operations for the periods
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results

</TABLE>


         Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were $49.8
million, which were $11.6 million or 18.9% less than the Company's net sales for
the corresponding period ended September 30, 1998. Lower revenue primarily
reflected the elimination of $13.4 million of revenue for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998 attributable to the Ontario, Canada service centers divested
by the Company in March 1999. After adjusting the quarter ended September 30,
1998 to remove the service center activity for comparison purposes, net sales
for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 increased $1.8 million or 3.8%. This
increase is attributable to 12.2% higher volume of tons shipped, which accounted
for $5.8 million of sales increase, offset by $4.0 million from mix of lower
revenue product sold.

         For the six months ended September 30, 1999, net sales of $100.9
million were $27.3 million lower that the $128.2 million for the comparable
period of the prior year, reflecting the elimination of revenue attributable to
the divested service centers. On a comparable location basis, year to date net
sales were up $1.6 million, or 1.6%, as a result of a 9.2% increase in volume,
which accounted for $9.2 million of sales increase, offset by $7.6 million from
mix of lower revenue product.

         Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $6.3
million or 12.6% of net sales, which was an increase of $2.5 million over the
three months ended September 30, 1998. Gross profit for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 was $6.8 million, or 6.1% of net sales. Gross profit for the
six months ended September 30, 1999 was $12.4 million or 12.2% of net sales
compared

to $9.2 million or 7.2% of net sales for the six months ended September 30,
1998. The increase in margins resulted from the elimination of the unprofitable
service center operations, cost savings from the Company's restructuring
initiatives, and increased volume at the Ottawa, Ohio and the Company's
continuing Canadian operations.

         Selling and administrative costs of $3.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 represented 6.9% of sales; selling and administrative
costs for the three months ended September 30, 1998 were $4.2 million, also 6.9%
of net sales. Lower expense resulted from the sale of the Ontario service
centers and the effect of cost reduction efforts implemented at the end of the
prior fiscal year, somewhat offset by higher incentive compensation accruals
related to the improved profitability of the Company's operations. Additionally,
expense in the prior year period reflected a special charge related to the
former chief executive officer's retirement agreement. For the six month
period ended September 30, 1999, selling and administrative costs were $7.0
million, or 7.0% of net sales, compared to $8.0 million, or 6.3% of net sales
for the six months ended September 30, 1998, due to the aforementioned items.

         Interest expense was $.9 million, or 1.7% of net sales for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $1.1 million or 1.8% of net sales
for the three months ended September 30, 1998. For the six months ended
September 30, 1999, interest expense was $1.7 million, or 1.6% of net sales,
compared to $2.3 million, or 1.8% of net sales for the six month period ended
September 30, 1998. Lower expense primarily reflected the decrease in debt
resulting from the collection of proceeds of the service center sale.

         Income before taxes was $2.0 million, or 4.0% of net sales for the
three months ended September 30, 1999. For the three months ended September 30,
1998, loss before taxes was $(1.6) million, or (2.6)% of net sales. For the six
months ended September 30, 1999, income (loss) before taxes was $3.7 million, or
3.6% of net sales, compared with $(1.1) million, or (.9)% of net sales for the
six months ended September 30, 1998.

         Income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended September 30,
1999 was $.7 million, or 1.5% of net sales compared to $(.6) million, or (1.0)%
of net sales for the same period ended September 30, 1998. Income tax expense
(benefit) for the six months ended September 30, 1999 was $1.4 million, or 1.3%
of net sales, compared to $(.5) million, or (.5)% of net sales for the six
months ended September 30, 1998. The effective tax rate was an 37.1% for the
three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to 37.6% for the three months
ended September 30, 1998. For the six months ended September 30, 1999, the
effective tax rate was 37.2%, compared to  41.5% for the six months ended
September 30, 1998. The effective tax rate in the prior year period reflected a
minor adjustment of valuation allowance.

         Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $1.2
million, or $.20 per share as compared to net loss of $(1.0) million, or $(.14)
per share for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Net income for the six
months ended September 30, 1999 was $2.3 million or $.36 per share compared to
net loss of $(.7) million or $(.09) per share for the six months ended September
30, 1998.

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

         During the six months ended September 30, 1999, operating activities
used $1.0 million in cash, compared to cash used of $.6 million for the six
months ended September 30, 1998. Cash inflows in the current year resulting
from income, and increased payables were more than offset by increases in
receivables and inventory and a decrease in other accrued expenses. The changes
in





                                       9
<PAGE>   10

payables, receivables, and inventory mostly reflected increased activity levels.
The decrease in other accrued expenses resulted from payments related to the
reduction in force accomplished by the Company in the last quarter of the
previous fiscal year, post-closing adjustments related to the sale of the
Ontario service centers, and other payments related to normal year-end accruals.

         Cash provided by investing activities was $13.4 million for the six
months ended September 30, 1999, reflecting collection of $14.6 million from the
sale of the Ontario service centers and $1.2 million of spending for capital
projects during the period.

         Cash flows used in financing activities was $10.3 million for the six
months ended September 30, 1999. In March 1999, the Company sold its Ontario
service centers for a total of $15.6 million, of which $14.6 million was
collected in April 1999 and used to reduce total bank debt.

         The Company's two bank lending arrangements provide an aggregate
borrowing availability up to a maximum of approximately $71.8 million, of which
$45.5 million was outstanding as of September 30, 1999. One of the borrowing
facilities is a term loan in the approximate amount of $18.1 million secured by
the fixed assets of the Company's facility in Ottawa, Ohio. At September 30,
1999, the Company was in violation with respect to a term loan cash flow
covenant which the lender has waived through the period ending December 31,
1999. Subsequent to December 1999, the Company expects to be in compliance.

         In October 1999, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly
dividend of $.05 per share on the outstanding common stock of the Company,
payable on November 15, 1999 to all shareholders of record at the close of
business October 29, 1999.

         Management expects that cash generated from operating activities and
its borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet planned capital expenditure
needs, dividends, and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.

Year 2000
- ---------

         In the year 2000, certain computer programs may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. The Company must determine
whether its systems are capable of recognizing and handling date information
accurately and without interruption before, during and after January 1, 2000.

         All of the Company's critical information technology systems have been
modified, tested, and/or certified from vendors as being Year 2000 compliant.
Other non-information technology systems have been inventoried, tested, or
certified in accordance with a compliance plan.

         To mitigate the risk of Year 2000 non-compliance by third parties, the
Company has identified and contacted the suppliers and vendors with which the
Company has significant relationships to evaluate the extent to which the
Company is vulnerable to third party failure to remedy Year 2000 problems. The
Company has assessed its vulnerability in this area and has developed
contingency plans accordingly.

         The Company estimates that the total cost spent to date to achieve Year
2000 compliance for its internal systems and equipment is less than $150,000
which has been funded by operating resources.

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

         While the Company has assessed the readiness of its major suppliers and
vendors, there is no assurance that all third parties on which the Company
relies will be Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner. The worst case scenario
for the Company would involve general failure of infrastructure systems such as
electrical power. While the Company will continue to update contingency plans
intended to allow the Company to move production among its various facilities,
substitute alternate suppliers, or reduce or suspend operations in the case of a
major infrastructure failure, the resulting disruption could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business or consolidated financial statements.
