             NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Organization and Description of Business

Formation of Stellex  Industries,  Inc. - On September 5, 1997, Stellex Holdings
Corp.  was  incorporated  as a Delaware  corporation,  which on October 23, 1997
amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Stellex  Industries,
Inc.  ("Stellex").  On September  12, 1997,  Stellex  issued 1,000 shares of its
common stock to  Greystoke  Capital  Management  Limited LDC in exchange for (i)
8,010 shares of common and 84 shares of Series A preferred  stock of KII Holding
Corp.  ("KII  Holdings"),  (ii)  $50,000  cash and  (iii)  the  assumption  of a
$4,000,000  promissory  note. KII Holdings had previously  been formed to effect
the acquisition of Kleinert Industries and subsidiaries  ("Kleinert") on July 1,
1997,  as described  more fully  below.  As a result of the  September  12, 1997
transaction,  Stellex acquired an 80.1% interest in KII Holdings;  the remaining
equity  interests  are held by  certain  members  of  Kleinert  management.  The
transaction  has  been  accounted  for as a  reincorporation  of  KII  Holdings;
accordingly,  the  financial  statements  of Stellex  reflect the results of its
operations commencing with the acquisition of Kleinert in July 1, 1997. Kleinert
is the predecessor of Stellex,  and all references to the "Company" include both
Stellex and its predecessor, Kleinert.

Kleinert  Acquisition  - On July 1, 1997,  KII  Holdings  through a wholly owned
subsidiary  (KII  Acquisition  Corp.,  a Delaware  company)  acquired all of the
outstanding  capital stock of Kleinert from Kleinert  Industries Holding AG. The
acquisition  was accounted  for using the purchase  method of  accounting,  and,
accordingly,  the net purchase price of approximately  $26.5 million  (including
the assumption of approximately $2.6 million of indebtedness and the issuance to
the seller of a note for $1.75  million) was  allocated to the assets  purchased
and  the  liabilities  assumed  based  upon  the  fair  values  at the  date  of
acquisition.  There was no excess purchase price over the fair values of the net
assets acquired in connection with the  acquisition.  Kleinert's  corporate name
was subsequently changed to Stellex Aerospace.  Kleinert commenced operations in
1988,  and provided  management  services for its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  -
Paragon Precision Products ("Paragon"),  General Inspection  Laboratories,  Inc.
("GIL"),  Scanning  Electron Analysis  Laboratories,  Inc.  ("SEAL"),  and Bandy
Machining International ("Bandy").

Paragon  specializes in the manufacture of precision aerospace  components.  GIL
provides  non-destructive  testing  services for  inspecting  critical parts and
manufactured  components.  SEAL  specializes  in materials  analysis and problem
solving for government and industry.  Bandy manufactures  precision hinges, door
panels and hinge assemblies for both aerospace and industrial applications.

TSMD  Acquisition  - On  October  31,  1997,  Stellex,  through  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary,  TSMD Acquisition  Corp.,  purchased 100% of the outstanding  common
stock of Stellex Microwave Systems, Inc. ("Stellex Microwave"),  which comprised
the operations of the Tactical Subsystems and Microwave Devices Sectors ("TSMD")
of the Watkins-Johnson Company ("Watkins-Johnson"),  for a net purchase price of
approximately  $82.1  million.  The  acquisition  was  accounted  for  using the
purchase  method of accounting  with  estimated fair value being assigned to the
assets acquired and  liabilities  assumed.  The purchase was financed  primarily
with the net proceeds  from an offering of senior  subordinated  notes  totaling
$92.3 million. Stellex Microwave designs, markets and manufactures a broad range
of microwave devices, modular subsystems and electronic equipment operating over
the RF and  microwave  frequency  bands  for sale  primarily  for  military  and
aerospace  applications.  Stellex's  consolidated  financial  statements  herein
include the results of operations of Stellex  Microwave  during the three months
and six months ended June 30, 1998 only.

Monitor Aerospace  Acquisition - On May 29, 1998, Stellex Industries,  Inc. (the
"Company")  acquired  Monitor  Aerospace  Corporation  ("Monitor"),   a  leading
aerospace   subcontractor   engaged  in  the   manufacture   and   assembly   of
precision-machined  structural  aircraft components and assemblies for tolerance
critical applications,  located in Amityville,  New York. Monitor has two wholly
owned  subsidiaries,  Monitor  Aerospace  International  Corp and Monitor Marine
Products,  Inc. The Company's acquisition of Monitor (the "Monitor Acquisition")
was effected  pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 28,
1998, by and among Stellex Aerospace Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company
("Holdings"),  Soze Corp., a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Holdings,  and Monitor.
Simultaneously with the acquisition Soze Corp. merged into Monitor.

The purchase  price for Monitor was  approximately  $95.0 million  including the
assumption of approximately $26.5 million of debt and excluding  transaction and
financing  fees  and  expenses  of  approximately  $5.9  million.   The  Monitor
Acquisition  was financed  through (i)  borrowings  of $95.7  million  under the
Amended  and  Restated  Credit  Agreement  dated  as of May  29,  1998  ("Credit
Agreement") and (ii) Monitor's  issuance of a promissory note to Douglas Monitto
and Lawrence Goldberg, jointly as majority shareholders, in the principal amount
of  $5,180,000.  Borrowings  under the Credit  Agreement were comprised of terms
loans in an aggregate  principal  amount of $90.0 million and revolving loans of
$17.3 million, of which $10.3 million was used to refinance the existing Company
revolver.

The Credit  Agreement is comprised of a $115.0  million Term Loan  Facility,  of
which  $25.0  million  remains  undrawn,  and a  $35.0  million  Revolving  Loan
Facility.  The Term Loan Facility  includes  $30.0 million of tranche  financing
having a scheduled  maturity of December 31, 2003,  and $60.0 million of tranche
financing  having a scheduled  maturity of December 31, 2005. The Revolving Loan
Facility has a scheduled maturity of December 31, 2003.

2.    Basis of Presentation

Stellex is a holding  company that has no operations or assets separate from its
investments in its subsidiaries. The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 1998
and the consolidated  statements of income and  consolidated  statements of cash
flows for the  periods  ended June 30,  1998  include  the  accounts  of Stellex
Microwave and Stellex Aerospace Holdings,  Inc. Stellex Aerospace Holdings, Inc.
consists of Monitor, a wholly-owned subsidiary,  and KII Holdings, its 80% owned
subsidiary.  KII Holdings  consists of Stellex  Aerospace  and its  wholly-owned
subsidiaries  (collectively,  "Stellex  Aerospace").  Due to the  timing  of the
Monitor  Acquisition and the filing of the 10-Q for the period,  the revaluation
of assets on Monitor's  balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 is  management's  best
estimates.  Management  believes  that these  estimates  will not be  materially
different on a going-forward basis after the relevant valuation  appraisals have
been fully completed. The comparative financial statements for the periods ended
June 30,  1997 are of Kleinert  (the  predecessor  of  Stellex)  and include the
accounts of Kleinert  Industries,  Inc. and its wholly owned  subsidiaries.  All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  the  instructions  to Form  10-Q  and do not  include  the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation, which were of normal and recurring
natures,  have been  included.  The results of operations for any interim period
are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results for the year.  These  unaudited
consolidated  financial  statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
consolidated  financial  statements  and related notes included in the Company's
Annual  Report  on Form  10-K  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1997 and the
Company's  Report on Form 8-K dated June 15,  1998 and the  Company's  Report on
Form 8-K/A dated August 13, 1998.

3.   Comprehensive Income

Effective  January 1998, the Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income." This statement  requires
that  all  items  recognized   under  accounting   standards  as  components  of
comprehensive  income be  reported  in an  annual  financial  statement  that is
displayed with the same prominence as other annual  financial  statements.  This
Statement  also requires that an entity  classify  items of other  comprehensive
income by their nature in an annual  financial  statement.  For  example,  other
comprehensive  income may  include  foreign  currency  translation  adjustments,
minimum  pension  liability  adjustments,  and  unrealized  gains and  losses on
marketable  securities  classified  as   available-for-sale.   Annual  financial
statements for prior periods will be classified, as required. The Company had no
items of other comprehensive  income or loss for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1998.

7.    Condensed Financial Information of Stellex and its Subsidiaries

The $100 million  principal amount of 9 1/2% senior  subordinated  notes and the
term and  revolving  loans are  fully  guaranteed,  on a full and  unconditional
basis,  by all wholly  and  majority  owned  subsidiaries  of Stellex  including
Stellex  Microwave,  Stellex  Aerospace  and Monitor  Aerospace.  The  condensed
consolidating  financial  information set forth below is included herein because
management  has concluded  that separate  financial  statements  relating to the
guarantor  subsidiaries are not material to investors.  There are no significant
contractual  restrictions  on the  ability  of  the  Company's  subsidiaries  to
transfer funds to the Company.  Condensed consolidating financial information as
of June 30, 1998 and the three and six month periods then ended follows:

Item 2.     Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Coincident  with  the  Monitor  Acquisition,  Stellex  Industries  formed  a new
subsidiary,  Stellex  Aerospace  Holdings,  to  better  organize  the  Company's
machining-related activities.  Stellex Aerospace Holdings consists of Monitor, a
wholly  owned  subsidiary,  and  KII  Holdings,  an  80%-owned  subsidiary.  The
following  tables  segregate  the  operating  data of the  Company  into its two
operating segments,  Stellex Microwave and Stellex Aerospace  Holdings,  for the
three and  six-month  periods ended June 30, 1998.  Comparative  figures for the
periods ended June 30, 1997 are of Kleinert (the  predecessor  of Stellex).  All
figures set forth below are a percentage of net sales:

Net Sales

Net sales for Stellex for the  quarter  ended June 30, 1998 were $38.4  million,
which was 389.5%  greater  than the  second  quarter  of 1997.  The  significant
increase in net sales came primarily as a result of the  acquisitions of Stellex
Microwave  ($20.6  million) and Monitor  ($7.9  million).  Net sales for Stellex
Aerospace  Holdings,  exclusive of Monitor,  were $9.9 million,  which was 25.8%
greater than the second  quarter of 1997.  The increase in net sales for Stellex
Aerospace was a result of the strong demand in the  commercial  aviation  market
for new aircraft  production,  primarily at Boeing,  increases in  manufacturing
requirements for military  aircraft and increase  deliveries of  turbo-machinery
components.

Gross Margins

Gross  margin for Stellex for the quarter  ended June 30, 1998 was 27.7%,  which
decreased from 30.1% in the previous year. The decrease in gross margin resulted
primarily  from the  acquisition  of Monitor,  which  achieved a gross margin of
18.3%,  which  was  impacted  by  non-recurring   charges  associated  with  the
amortization  of the step up in value of its  inventory  as a result of purchase
accounting totaling $400,000. Gross margin for Stellex Aerospace for the quarter
ended June 30,  1998 was 31.9%  which  increased  from  30.1% in the  comparable
period in the prior year primarily as a result of increased  volumes  leading to
improved manufacturing efficiencies and fixed cost utilization.



<PAGE>



Selling, general and administrative

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses for Stellex  were $5.9  million,
which was 559.3% greater than the second quarter of 1997. This increase resulted
primarily  from the  acquisitions  of Stellex  Microwave,  which  incurred  $2.5
million of  expense,  and  Monitor,  which  incurred  $1.4  million of  expense.
Selling,  general and administrative expenses for Stellex Aerospace totaled $2.0
million, which represented an increase in expense of $1.1 million. This increase
was due primarily to incremental  non-cash  charges of $775,000  relating to the
valuation of management ownership puts and managerial hires.

Amortization of Intangibles

Amortization  of intangible  expense for Stellex was $851,000  which  represents
amortization  of  various  intangibles  such as value  of  workforce  in  place,
tradename and goodwill for the three months ended June 30, 1998  resulting  from
the  application  of purchase  accounting  to Stellex  Microwave  and Monitor in
conjunction with their acquisitions.

The respective  purchase cost of Monitor will be allocated based on the relative
fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities as of the closing date, based
on  valuations  and other  studies  which  are not yet  complete.  However,  the
Company's  management believes that the effects of the final allocation will not
differ materially from those set forth herein.

Interest expense

Interest  expense for Stellex was $3.7 million,  which was $3.5 million  greater
than interest expense in the second quarter of 1997. The significant increase in
interest expense was due to the  refinancings  that occurred in conjunction with
the  Stellex  Microwave  and Monitor  acquisitions.  The  consummation  of these
acquisitions resulted in outstanding indebtedness for the second quarter of 1998
of  approximately  $148 million at an average  borrowing  rate of  approximately
9.2%.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Non-recurring
items (EBITDA)

EBITDA for  Stellex for the second  quarter  ended June 30,  1998  totaled  $7.2
million  compared  to  $1.8  million  during  1997.  EBITDA  for  1998  included
adjustments for an investment banking fee paid to Mentmore Holdings Corporation,
an  affiliate  of  Stellex,  totaling  $1.0  million  in  conjunction  with  the
acquisition of Monitor,  non-cash charges for changes in the value of management
put  rights in KII  Holdings  totaling  $775,000,  and  non-cash,  non-recurring
charges relating to the Monitor acquisition  totaling $701,000.  The increase in
EBITDA over the prior year was a direct  result of the  acquisitions  of Stellex
Microwave and Monitor,  as well as a 23.6% improvement  within Stellex Aerospace
due primarily to improved  profitability  resulting from net sales increases and
plant efficiencies.

Net sales

Net sales for Stellex for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $66.3 million,
which was 364.1% greater than the first half of 1997. The  significant  increase
in net sales came primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Stellex Microwave
($40.3  million) and Monitor  ($7.9  million).  Net sales for Stellex  Aerospace
Holdings, exclusive of Monitor, were $18.2 million, which was 27.0% greater than
the first half of 1997.  The increase in net sales for Stellex  Aerospace  was a
result of the strong demand in the commercial  aviation  market for new aircraft
production,  primarily at Boeing,  increases in  manufacturing  requirements for
military aircraft and increased deliveries of turbo-machinery components.

Gross margins

Gross margin for Stellex for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was 25.0%, which
decreased from 29.1% in the previous year. The decrease in gross margin resulted
primarily from the  acquisitions  of Stellex  Microwave,  which achieved a gross
margin of 23.8%,  and Monitor,  which  achieved a gross  margin of 18.3%.  These
margins were impacted by non-recurring  charges associated with the amortization
of the step up in value of its  inventory  as a result of  purchase  accounting,
totaling $1,457,000. Gross margin for Stellex Aerospace for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 was 30.6% which  increased from 29.1% in the comparable  period in
the prior year  primarily as a result of increased  volumes  leading to improved
manufacturing efficiencies and fixed cost utilization.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses for Stellex  were $10.1  million
which was 465.1%  greater than the first half of 1997.  This  increase  resulted
primarily  from the  acquisitions  of Stellex  Microwave,  which  incurred  $4.7
million of  expense,  and  Monitor,  which  incurred  $1.4  million of  expense.
Selling,  general and administrative expenses for Stellex Aerospace totaled $4.0
million, which represented an increase in expense of $2.1 million. This increase
was due primarily to incremental  non-cash  charges of $1.5 million  relating to
the  valuation  of  management  ownership  puts  and  managerial  hires,  offset
partially  by selling  costs  incurred  during  1997  relating  to the  Kleinert
Acquisition.

Amortization of Intangibles

Amortization of intangible expense for Stellex was $1.5 million which represents
amortization  of  various  intangibles  such as value  of  workforce  in  place,
tradename and goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 1998 resulting from the
application  of  purchase   accounting  to  Stellex  Microwave  and  Monitor  in
conjunction with their acquisitions.

The respective  purchase cost of Monitor will be allocated based on the relative
fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities as of the closing date, based
on  valuations  and other  studies  which  are not yet  complete.  However,  the
Company's  management believes that the effects of the final allocation will not
differ materially from those set forth herein.

Interest expense

Interest  expense for Stellex was $6.5 million,  which was $6.1 million  greater
than interest expense in the second quarter of 1997. The significant increase in
interest expense was due to the  refinancings  that occurred in conjunction with
the  Stellex  Microwave  and Monitor  acquisitions.  The  consummation  of these
acquisitions resulted in average outstanding  indebtedness for the first half of
1998 of approximately $130 million at an average borrowing rate of approximately
9.3%.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Non-recurring
items (EBITDA)

EBITDA for Stellex for the six months ended June 30, 1998 totaled  $11.4 million
compared to $3.1 million during 1997.  EBITDA for 1998 included  adjustments for
an investment banking fee paid to Mentmore Holdings Corporation, an affiliate of
Stellex,  totaling $1.0 million in conjunction  with the acquisition of Monitor,
non-cash  charges  for  changes  in the value of  management  put  rights in KII
Holdings totaling $1.5 million, and non-cash,  non-recurring charges relating to
the Monitor acquisition  totaling $2.2 million.  The increase in EBITDA over the
prior year was a direct  result of the  acquisitions  of Stellex  Microwave  and
Monitor,  as well as a 21.0% improvement  within Stellex Aerospace due primarily
to  improved  profitability   resulting  from  net  sales  increases  and  plant
efficiencies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Stellex was a net user of cash flows from operations for the three and six month
periods  ended  June 30,  1998,  in the  amount of $1.8  million  and  $716,400,
respectively,  compared to a net  provider of cash in the amount of $466,000 and
$479,000  for the  comparable  periods  during 1997.  During the second  quarter
period,  Stellex  Microwave's cash flow was impacted negatively due to the build
up of a significant  AMRAAM RF-head order for Raytheon  scheduled to ship during
the  third  quarter.  In  addition,  as a  result  of the  Monitor  acquisition,
non-recurring  investment banking fees relating to the transaction totaling $1.0
million were paid to Mentmore Holdings Corporation, an affiliate.

Stellex was a net user of cash flows from investing activities for the three and
six month  periods ended June 30, 1998, in the amount of $91.4 million and $92.6
million, respectively,  compared to a net user of cash in the amount of $390,000
and $835,000 for the  comparable  periods  during 1997. The increase in usage of
cash for corporate  investing  activities was due to the acquisitions of Stellex
Microwave  and Monitor  and  increased  capital  expenditures  required  for the
maintenance  and  upgrading  of  a  significantly   larger  operating   company.
Approximately  $90.4 million of cash  proceeds  were utilized to consummate  the
acquisition of Monitor in May 1998.

Stellex generated net cash flows from financing  activities during the three and
six month  periods  ended June 30, 1998,  totaling  approximately  $94.0 million
primarily  to finance the  acquisition  of Monitor and  refinance  the  existing
revolving loan facility so as to increase the maximum borrowing availability for
Stellex by $10 million to $35 million.

Stellex's  liquidity  demands for the near term will consist of normal levels of
capital  expenditure  requirements  sufficient to accommodate growth in backlog,
working  capital  needs and debt service  funding.  Stellex is in the process of
upgrading  machining  equipment at Monitor with the latest in CNC  technology in
order to improve tolerances and manufacturing  efficiencies and adding necessary
equipment  capacity at Stellex  Aerospace in order to support the very  positive
order  growth at Bandy and Paragon.  Capital  expenditures  anticipated  for the
second half of the year should approximate $3.2 million.



<PAGE>



Debt  service  requirements  for  Stellex  for the latter  half of the year will
include principal  reduction  payments totaling $1.9 million under the term loan
facilities and interest payments totaling approximately $9.5 million.

Management  believes that current levels of operating cash flow and availability
under its revolving credit facility will provide  adequate  liquidity to Stellex
to satisfy its near term liquidity demands.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1997 and 1998 give effect to the acquisition of Stellex Microwave
and Monitor Aerospace  ("Acquisitions")  which were acquired on October 31, 1997
and May  29,  1998  respectively.  For  purposes  of the pro  forma  results  of
operations,  the Acquisitions are reflected as of January 1, 1997. The pro forma
consolidated  statements of operations  exclude  non-recurring  changes directly
related to the  Acquisitions,  including (i)  investments  banking and financial
advisory fees paid to Mentmore  Holdings  Corporation,  an  affiliate,  and (ii)
increases in cost of sales arising from write-up of  inventories  at the date of
consummation of the Acquisitions to fair market value.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results have been prepared by management of
the  Company  and do not  necessarily  represent  the  results of the  Company's
operation which would have occurred if the Acquisitions had actually taken place

Net Sales

Net sales for Stellex  Industries  were $54.3 million and $104.4 million for the
three and six months  ended June 30,  1998,  respectively.  Net sales at Stellex
Aerospace were $9.9 million and $18.2 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1998, respectively,  representing a 25.9% and a 27.0% increase over the
comparable periods in 1997. Net sales continue to grow at Stellex Aerospace as a
result of the strong demand in the commercial  aviation  market for new aircraft
production,  increases in manufacturing  requirements for military  aircraft and
increased deliveries of turbo-machinery components.

Stellex  Microwave's  net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998
were $20.6 million and $40.3 million, representing decreases of 10.3% and 13.8%,
respectively, from net sales levels during the comparable periods in 1997. These
decreases were due primarily to 1997 shipments of delinquent orders arising from
production  planning problems  associated with the poor  implementation of a new
production  planning  software  system  in 1996  and  lower  1998  shipments  of
receivers due to the completion of certain  non-recurring orders in 1997. During
July,  Stellex  Microwave  effected a restructuring  in response to the negative
trend experienced in microwave device orders over the past several months, which
resulted in a reduction  of  workforce  of  approximately  12%. For the tactical
subsystems  business a reduction in shipments of AMRAAM  subsystems during 1998,
based on 1997 end of contract  shipments under certain contracted lots, was more
than offset by increased shipments on the Standard Missile and MFE programs.

Shipments  at Monitor  Aerospace  were $23.8  million and $46.0  million for the
three and six months  ended June 30, 1998,  representing  increases of 33.8% and
32.9%,  respectively,  from net sales levels  during the  comparable  periods in
1997. These increases were due to the stronger commercial aircraft market.

Gross Margin

Gross  margin for Stellex  Industries  was 26.5% and 25.0% for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998, respectively,  compared to gross margin of 23.8% and
23.9% for the comparable  periods in 1997. Gross margin at Stellex Aerospace was
31.9% and 30.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,  respectively,
compared to gross margin of 30.1% and 30.0% for the comparable  periods in 1997.
Gross  margin  improvement  at Stellex  Aerospace  has resulted  primarily  from
increased sales volume.

Gross  margin for  Stellex  Microwave  was 29.2% and 26.4% for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998, respectively,  compared to gross margin of 23.0% and
24.0% for the comparable  periods in 1997.  Gross margin  improvement at Stellex
Microwave resulted from improved  productivity,  lower  manufacturing  costs and
improved profitability on the completion of certain programs.

Gross  margin for  Monitor  Aerospace  was 21.9% and 21.5% for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998, respectively,  compared to gross margin of 21.6% and
21.2% for the  comparable  periods in 1997.  Gross  margin at Monitor  Aerospace
remained  relatively  consistent  as a  result  of  new  program  inefficiencies
offsetting benefits from the higher sales volume on fixed overheads.

Research and Development

Research and  development  costs have  increased over the prior year by $709,000
during  the  second  quarter  and $1.0  million  for the  first six  months  due
principally to the expansion of engineering capabilities at Stellex Microwave in
order to address new product  introductions and cost reductions in manufacturing
and packaging.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling,   general  and  administrative  expenses  for  the  consolidated  group
increased  $858,000  and $1.2  million  to 10.4% of net sales from the three and
six-month  periods ended June 30, 1998,  respectively.  These increases were due
primarily  to  incremental  non-cash  charges  of  $775,000  and  $1.5  million,
respectively,  relating to the valuation of management ownership puts in Stellex
Aerospace.

EBITDA before  Interest,  Taxes,  Depreciation  and  Amortization and non-cash
charges ("EBITDA")

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation,  amortization and non-cash
charges ("EBITDA") totaled $10.7 million and $19.3 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998,  respectively,  which was 11.1% and 3.7% better than
comparable prior year periods. The increase in EBITDA came primarily as a result
of improved gross margin.

The Year 2000 Issue

The Company has made an  assessment  of the impact of the Year 2000 issue on its
internal  operations  and has  developed  a plan to  bring  all of its  computer
systems into compliance  before the end of 1998.  Based on the assessment of the
Company's computer systems software,  it has been determined that certain of the
Company's hardware and software systems are either currently Year 2000 compliant
or have an existing upgrade available from the software vendor that is Year 2000
compliant.  It is management's intention that all systems that are not currently
Year 2000  compliant  will  either be  upgraded  to be Year  2000  compliant  or
replaced  with  alternative  systems that are Year 2000  compliant by the end of
1998.  The costs to be  incurred  in  addressing  the Year 2000  issues  are not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's future financial results.

Recent Accounting Standards

In June 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  About Segments of an
Enterprise  and Related  Information".  The  standard  requires  that  companies
disclose  "operating  segments"  based on the way management  disaggregates  the
company for making internal operating decisions. The new rules will be effective
for the Company's 1998 fiscal year end.

In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132,  "Employers"  Disclosures  about
Pensions and Other  Postretirement  Benefits," which standardizes the disclosure
requirement for pensions and other postretirement  benefits.  The implementation
of SFAS No. 132 is not  expected  to have an impact on the  Company's  financial
statements.  The standard  will be effective  for the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1998.
