Item 9:  Regulation FD Disclosure

     On February 26, 2004, Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc. (the "Company"
or "Keystone"),  together with five of its direct and indirect  subsidiaries (FV
Steel and Wire Company,  DeSoto  Environmental  Management,  Inc., J.L. Prescott
Company,  Sherman Wire Company F/K/A DeSoto,  Inc. and Sherman Wire of Caldwell,
Inc.), filed voluntary  petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the
United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the Eastern District of Wisconsin in Milwaukee (the "Bankruptcy Court").

     On April 16,  2004,  Keystone  filed its Monthly  Operating  Report for the
month of March 2004 (the "Monthly  Operating Report") with the Bankruptcy Court.
A copy of certain summary financial information and related supporting schedules
contained  in  the  Monthly   Operating  Report  (the  "Bankruptcy   Financial
Information")  is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and  incorporated by reference
herein.

     The Bankruptcy Financial  Information is limited in scope, covers a limited
time period and has been  prepared  solely for  purposes of  complying  with the
monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court.  Keystone's wholly owned
subsidiary, Engineered Wire Products, Inc. ("EWP"), has not filed for protection
under the Bankruptcy  Code, and financial  information  for EWP has been omitted
from the Bankruptcy Financial Information.  The Bankruptcy Financial Information
is unaudited and does not purport to show the  financial  statements of Keystone
or any of its  subsidiaries in accordance with accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), and therefore excludes items required by
GAAP, such as certain reclassifications,  eliminations,  accruals and disclosure
items. Keystone cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon the Bankruptcy
Financial  Information.  There  can be no  assurance  that such  information  is
complete.

     A copy  of  certain  financial  information  of  EWP  (the  "EWP  Financial
Information")  is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and  incorporated by reference
herein. The EWP Financial Information is limited in scope, covers a limited time
period and has been prepared  solely for purposes of internal  reporting  within
Keystone.  The EWP  Financial  Information  is unaudited and does not purport to
show the financial  statements  of EWP in  accordance  with GAAP , and therefore
excludes   items   required   by  GAAP,   such  as  certain   reclassifications,
eliminations,  accruals and disclosure  items.  Keystone cautions readers not to
place  undue  reliance  upon  the EWP  Financial  Information.  There  can be no
assurance that such information is complete.

     The Bankruptcy Financial  Information and the EWP Financial Information are
for information purposes only and are not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section
18 of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  or otherwise subject to
the  liabilities  of that section.  Registration  statements or other  documents
filed with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission  shall not  incorporate  the
Bankruptcy  Financial  Information  or EWP Financial  Information  by reference,
except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
