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

NOTE 1.  OPINION OF MANAGEMENT

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Cold
Metal Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 30, 2000 and
March 31, 2000, the results of operations for the three month and six month
periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, and cash flows for the six months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the periods
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 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, 2000.

         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year's presentation.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITION:

         Effective March 31, 2000, the Company acquired all the outstanding
stock of Alkar Steel Corporation ("Alkar"), a privately held steel service
center located in Detroit, Michigan, for a purchase price of approximately $14.2
million, including debt of $5.5 million that was paid at closing. The purchase
price was funded under the Company's existing credit facilities. The acquisition
was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, assets and liabilities were
recorded at estimated fair values. The preliminary allocation of purchase price
resulted in goodwill of approximately $6.2 million, which is being amortized
over 20 years.

          Unaudited pro forma information has been derived from the Company's
income statement for the three and six months ended September 30, 1999 and
adjusts the income statement information to give effect as if the acquisition
had occurred on April 1, 1999. 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, 1999, nor which may result from future operations.
Unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations reflect net sales of
$56.6 million, net income of $1.3 million and basic net earnings per share of
$.21 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. For the six months ended
September 30, 1999, unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations
reflect net sales of $114.8, net income of $2.5 million and basic net earnings
per share of $0.39.

NOTE 3. RESULTS OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS

         The Company operates in one business segment, intermediate steel
processing. The Company derived revenues from customers in the United States of
approximately $42.1 million and $33.7 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 and $85.0 million and $69.8 million during the six
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The remainder of the Company's
revenues are related to customers and operations in Canada.

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following is management's discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations during the periods included in the

</TABLE>

         Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $57.1
million, an increase of $7.4 million over the three months ended September 30,
1999, predominately due to the additional volume from Alkar which was acquired
March 31, 2000. Volume of tons shipped increased 13.4%, accounting for $6.8
million of revenue increase. The effect of slightly higher price per ton
increased sales by $.6 million. Adjusting sales to remove the Alkar-related
activity, net sales increased $.5 million, $.6 million from volume on 1.4%
increased tonnage, which was slightly offset by $.1 million of lower price per
ton effect.

         For the six months ended September 30, 2000, net sales of $116.5
million were $15.6 million higher than the $100.9 million for the comparable
period of the prior year, again reflecting the addition of Alkar. Volume of tons
shipped increased 15.2%, accounting for $15.3 million of revenue increase.
Slightly higher price per ton increased sales by $.3 million. Adjusting sales to
remove the Alkar- related activity, net sales increased $1.8 million, or 1.8%,
on 2.5% increased tonnage.

         Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $5.5
million or 9.6% of net sales, which was a decrease of $.8 million over the three
months ended September 30, 1999. Gross profit for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 was $6.3 million, or 12.6% of net sales. Gross profit for the
six months ended September 30, 2000 was $11.9 million or 10.2% of net sales
compared to $12.4 million or 12.2% of net sales for the six months ended
September 30, 1999. Excluding the margins generated by Alkar, margins were down
$1.7 million or 26.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and $2.3
million, or 18.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in
margins is attributable to margin compression resulting from higher raw material
costs and mix of lower margin product.

         Selling and administrative costs of $4.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 represented 7.8% of sales; selling and administrative
costs for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were $3.4 million, or 6.9%
of net sales. The increase primarily reflected the addition of Alkar costs. For
the six month period ended September 30, 2000, selling and administrative costs
were $8.5 million, or 7.3% of net sales, compared to $7.0 million, or 7.0% of
net sales for the six months ended September 30, 1999, also due primarily to the
addition of Alkar.

         Interest expense was $1.3 million, or 2.2% of net sales for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $.9 million or 1.7% of net sales
for the three months ended September 30, 1999. For the six months ended
September 30, 2000, interest expense was $2.5 million, or 2.1% of net sales,
compared to $1.7 million, or 1.6% of net sales for the six month period ended
September 30, 1999. Higher expense was primarily attributable to the additional
indebtedness related to the Alkar acquisition, as well as higher market interest
rates.

         Loss before taxes was $.2 million, or .4% of net sales for the three
months ended September 30, 2000. For the three months ended September 30, 1999,
income before taxes was $2.0 million, or 4.0% of net sales. For the six months
ended September 30, 2000, income before taxes was $.9 million, or .8% of net
sales, compared with $3.7 million, or 3.6% of net sales for the six months ended
September 30, 1999.

         Income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended September 30,
2000 was $(.1) million, or (.1)% of net sales compared to $.7 million, or 1.5%
of net sales for the same period ended September 30, 1999. Income tax expense
for the six months ended September 30, 2000 was $.3 million, or .3% of net
sales, compared to $1.4 million, or 1.3% of net sales for the six months ended
September 30, 1999. The effective tax rate was an 30.5% for the three months
ended September 30, 2000, compared to 37.1% for the three months ended September
30, 1999, reflecting slightly lower Canadian effective tax rate and a lower
state rate associated with the Alkar acquisition. For the six months ended
September 30, 2000, the effective tax rate was 36.8%, compared to 37.2% for the
six months ended September 30, 1999.

         Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $(.2)
million, or $(.03) per share as compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $.20
per share for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Net income for the six
months ended September 30, 2000 was $.6 million or $.09 per share compared to
$2.3 million or $.36 per share for the six months ended September 30, 1999.

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

         During the six months ended September 30, 2000, operating activities
used $5.7 million in cash, compared to cash used of $1.0 million for the six
months ended September 30, 1999. While net income and the effect of depreciation
provided funds, cash used by operating activities resulted from increased
inventory, which have flowed through payables, and payments of amounts related
to normal year-end accruals. The increased inventory resulted from sales
growth forecasts, together with higher levels of inventory on hand to support
increased customer requirements for "just in time" inventory.

         Cash consumed by investing activities was $3.0 million for the six
months ended September 30, 2000, reflecting the acquisition of capital assets
and a purchase price adjustment related to the Alkar acquisition.

                                        9

<PAGE>   10

         Cash flows provided by financing activities was $8.1 million for the
six months ended September 30, 2000. The Company's primary lending arrangement
provides up to a maximum of $70 million of borrowing availability, of which
$49.4 million was outstanding at September 30, 2000. The agreement was amended
in September 2000 to provide additional borrowing availability on capital
purchases and to extend the term through April 1, 2004. In addition,
approximately $16.6 million was outstanding under the Company's other major
long-term borrowing arrangement as of September 30, 2000. The Company was in
compliance with covenants under all its agreements as of September 30, 2000.

         In October 2000, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly
dividend of $.05 per share on the outstanding common stock of the Company,
payable on November 17, 2000 to all shareholders of record at the close of
business November 3, 2000.

          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.
