</TABLE>

Three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the similar
periods in 1999

The Increase in net sales for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30,
2000 as compared to the similar periods in 1999 reflects an improved sales mix
of products and price increases to cover higher material and energy costs,
partially offset by a decrease in total tons shipped. The Company shipped
approximately 9,700 tons and 11,300 tons for the three-month periods ended June
30, 2000 and 1999 respectively, and 20,549 tons and 21,514 tons for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The improved sales
mix of products was primarily due to increased shipments of power generation and
aerospace products to the Company's reroller and forging market customers and of
tool steel and bar mill products to the Company's service center customers. In
addition, sales revenue from special shape products shipped to original
equipment manufacturers increased by 70% and 56% for the three- and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2000 in comparison to the similar periods in 1999.

Cost of products sold, as a percentage of net sales, was 80.1% and 90.0% for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and was 82.6%
and 89.8% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
This decrease is primarily due to the impact of the change in the mix of
products shipped, improved operating results at the bar mill and higher sales
prices.

Selling and administrative expenses increased $463,000 in the three-month
period ended June 30, 2000 as compared to June 30, 1999 and increased $551,000
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 as compared to June 30, 1999. The
increases reflect higher employment costs and a non-recurring pre-tax bad debt
charge of $142,000.

Interest expense and other financing costs increased by $43,000 in the
three-month period ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the three-month period
ended June 30, 1999 and increased $119,000 in the six-month period ended June
30, 2000 as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 1999. The increases
were primarily due to a reduction in capitalized interest, higher interest rates
on the PNC Term Loan and interest expense associated with borrowings from the
PNC revolving credit facility ("PNC Line").

                                       7
<PAGE>

The effective income tax rate utilized in the three-and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 was 35.0% and 37.0%, 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 2000 operating activities through cash flows from
operations, cash on hand and borrowings from the PNC Line.  At June 30, 2000,
working capital approximated $22.5 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 2.7:1 at June 30, 2000.  The debt to
capitalization was 21% at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.  The decrease in
the ratio of current assets to current liabilities is primarily due to a
decrease in cash and an increase in liabilities to fund operations due to an
increase in product demand and higher raw material and energy costs.

The Company's capital expenditures approximated $2.3 million for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2000, which primarily relates to the installation of a new
billet grinder, overhead crane and building repairs at the Bridgeville facility.
At June 30, 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 June 30, 2000, the Company has $5.4
million available for borrowings under the PNC Line.  On May 25, 2000 the
company entered into a second amendment to the second amended and restated
credit agreement between Universal Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc. and PNC
Bank, National Association which extended the term of the PNC Line to April 30,
2002.

There were no shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company during the six-
month period ended June 30, 2000.  The Company is authorized to repurchase an
additional 57,100 shares of Common Stock as of June 30, 2000.

The Company anticipates that it will continue to 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

At June 30, 2000, the Company's backlog was approximately 18% higher than the
backlog at June 30, 1999.  The current backlog reflects strong demand for power
generation products and an improved demand for aerospace products.  This
combined with continued operational improvements, should continue to generate
improved financial results in the second half of 2000.
