         2000 and December 31, 1999 and the consolidated results of operations
         and of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and
         1999, and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected

Three-month period ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the similar period in
1999

The increase in net sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to the similar period in 1999 reflects increased shipments within the
forger, OEM and service center markets, partially offset by reduced shipments to
the reroller market and conversion customers, as well as higher selling prices.
The Company shipped approximately 10,800 tons during the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000, compared to approximately 10,200 tons during the three-
month period ended March 31, 1999. The increase in net sales and shipments
resulted from an increased demand for product from the power generation
industry, increased shipments of tool steel and finished bar products to the
service center market and higher selling prices. The higher selling prices were
a direct result of the implementation of an alloy surcharge mechanism in
conjunction with rising raw material costs, and by the price increases placed
into effect after September 1999.

Cost of products sold, as a percent of net sales, was 85.2% and 89.5% for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This decrease
is primarily due to the impact of the alloy surcharge mechanism and sales price
increases in effect during the three-month period ended March 31, 2000. Selling
and administrative expenses remained relatively constant between 1999 and 2000.

Interest expense and other financing costs increased from $146,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1999 to $222,000 for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000 primarily due to a reduction in capitalized interest and
higher interest rates on the PNC Term Loan.

The effective income tax rate utilized in the three-month periods ended March
31, 2000 and 1999 was 35% and 37%, respectively. The effective income tax rate
utilized in the current period reflects the anticipated effect of the Company's
permanent tax deductions against expected income levels in 2000.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company has financed its operating activities during the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000 through cash flows from operations and cash on hand at the
beginning of the period. At March 31, 2000, working capital approximated $20.9
million, as compared to $20.8 million at December 31, 1999. The ratio of current
assets to current liabilities decreased from 3.2:1 at December 31, 1999 to 2.8:1
at March 31, 2000. The debt to capitalization ratio was 20% at March 31, 2000,
and 21% at December 31, 1999. The decrease in the ratio of current assets to
current liabilities is primarily due to a decrease in cash which was used to
fund debt payments and an increase in liabilities to fund operations due to an
increase in product demand.

The Company's capital expenditures approximated $1.0 million for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2000 which primarily related to the purchase of a billet
grinder and other equipment for use at the Bridgeville facility. At March 31,
2000, the Company had outstanding purchase commitments in addition to the
expenditures incurred to date of approximately $0.3 million. These expenditures
are expected to be funded substantially from internally generated funds and
additional borrowings. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had $6.5 million
available for borrowings under a revolving line of credit with PNC Bank.

There were no shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company during the
three-month period ended March 31, 2000. The Company is authorized to
repurchase an additional 57,100 shares of Common Stock as of March 31, 2000.

The Company anticipates that it will fund its 2000 working capital requirements,
its capital expenditures and the stock repurchase program primarily from funds
generated from operations and borrowings. The Company's long-term liquidity
requirements, including capital expenditures, are expected to be financed by a
combination of internally generated funds, borrowings and other sources of
external financing if needed.

2000 Outlook

The Company anticipates that its net sales for the three-month period ending
June 30, 2000 will be higher than the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 as
a result of improving demand from the power generation industry and the service
center market. Net sales during the second half of 2000 can further improve over
the first half of 2000 if demand from the service center market and the
aerospace industry increases.
