                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

     Shiloh is a full service manufacturer of blanks and stamped components for
the automotive and light truck, heavy truck and other industrial markets. The
Company's blanks, which are engineered two dimensional shapes cut from
fat-rolled steel, are principally sold to automotive and truck original
equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and are used for exterior steel components,
such as fenders, hoods and doors, for which quality of fit and finish is
critical. These blanks include first operation unexposed blanks and more
advanced engineered-welded blanks, which are manufactured from two or more
blanks of different steel or gauges that are welded together utilizing both mash
seam resistance and laser welding. Engineered-welded blanks allow OEMs to
achieve a reduction in vehicle weight, which improves the vehicle's performance
while maintaining body strength for safety. The Company's stampings are
principally used as components in mufflers, seat frames, structural rails,
window lifts, heat shields, vehicle brakes and other structural body components.

     The Company also builds modular assemblies, which include components used
in the structural and powertrain systems of a vehicle. Our structural systems
include bumper beams, door impact beams, steering column supports, chassis
components and structural underbody modules. Our powertrain systems consist of
deep draw components, such as oil pans, transmission pans and valve covers. In
addition, the Company also designs, engineers and manufactures precision tools
and dies and welding and assembly equipment for use in its blanking and stamping
operations, as well as for sale to OEMs, other Tier I automotive suppliers and
other industrial customers. Furthermore, the Company provides a variety of
intermediate steel processing services, such as pickling and oiling,
cutting-to-length, slitting and edge trimming of hot-and cold-rolled steel coils
for automotive and steel industry customers. The Company currently has thirteen
subsidiaries at locations in Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, Mexico and Tennessee.

HISTORY

     In November 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Greenfield Die & Manufacturing Corp. ("Greenfield"), which is headquartered in
Canton, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, and serves the automotive industry by
providing a variety of value added processes, including tool and die design and
build, stamping, assembly, welding, prototyping operations and mold design and
build. Greenfield conducts operations as "Canton Manufacturing" and "Canton Tool
and Die." In July 2000, the Company announced that it would seek strategic
alternatives for two of its tool and die operations, Canton Tool and Die and
Utica Tool and Die, and one of its steel processing facilities, Valley City
Steel. As a result, the assets of Canton Tool and Die and Valley City Steel are
currently being held for sale and certain assets of Utica Tool and Die are being
held for sale. In August 1997, the Company acquired C&H Design Company, d.b.a.
C&H Die Technology, d.b.a. Utica Tool and Die, ("C&H") which was headquartered
in Utica, Michigan. In October 2000, the Company closed the operations of C&H
and the equipment was either transferred to other Shiloh locations or is being
held for sale. In July 1998, the Company also commenced operation of Jefferson
Blanking, Inc. ("Jefferson Blanking"), a blanking and stamping facility in
Pendergrass, Georgia.

     In November 1999, the Company acquired the automotive division ("MTD
Automotive") of MTD Products Inc for $20.0 million in cash and 1,428,571 shares
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"),
of which 535,714 were contingently returnable at November 1, 1999. Pursuant to
the terms of the earnout provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of
June 21, 1999, as amended (the "Purchase Agreement"), entered into by and among
the Company, Shiloh Automotive, Inc. and MTD Products Inc, the aggregate
consideration was increased due to the performance of MTD Automotive during the
first twelve months subsequent to consummation of such acquisition. As a result
of the subsequent performance of MTD Automotive, the 535,714 contingently
returnable shares of Common Stock were not required to be returned to the
Company and in January 2001, the Company issued MTD Products Inc an additional
288,960 shares of Common Stock and the Company's wholly owned subsidiary issued
a note in the aggregate principal amount of

                                        3
<PAGE>   4

$4.0 million, due in full on November 1, 2001. The Company is guarantor of the
note. In addition, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, approximately $1.8
million was returned to the Company for settlement of price concessions and
capital expenditure reimbursements. These adjustments were reflected in the
Company's financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2000 as
adjustments to the purchase price. Also in accordance with the Purchase
Agreement, the purchase price may be adjusted at the end of fiscal 2001 and
fiscal 2002 upon resolution of certain contingencies set forth in such Purchase
Agreement.

     In July 2000, the Company commenced operation of Shiloh de Mexico, a laser
welded blanking facility in Saltillo, Mexico. In August 2000, the Company
purchased substantially all the assets of A.G. Simpson (Tennessee) Inc., d.b.a.
Dickson Manufacturing ("Dickson") for approximately $49.2 million, including
approximately $1.2 million in acquisition costs. Dickson is headquartered in
Dickson, Tennessee and serves the automotive industry by providing stampings and
assemblies primarily used for seating and interior structural applications.

     In January 2001, certain purchase price adjustments were made pursuant to
the terms of the Purchase Agreement, dated July 18, 2000, by and between the
Company and A.G. Simpson (Tennessee) Inc., in which approximately $4.5 million
was released from escrow and returned to the Company. For accounting purposes,
these adjustments were reflected in the Company's financial statements for the
year ended October 31, 2000.

     The Company's principal executive offices are located at Suite 202, 103
Foulk Road, Wilmington, Delaware 19803 and its telephone number is (302)
998-0592. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the "Company" or
"Shiloh" refer to Shiloh Industries, Inc. and its direct and indirect
subsidiaries.

INDUSTRY

  ENGINEERED PRODUCTS

     In the engineered products business, OEMs and Tier I automotive suppliers
purchase steel components from suppliers such as the Company. The Company
manufactures these components and also engineers and builds the tools and dies
used in its blanking and stamping operations. In addition, the Company produces
tools and dies and welding and assembly equipment for its customers. OEMs
typically find it more cost effective and time efficient to focus their core
operations on vehicle assembly, marketing and distribution. As a result, OEMs
increasingly outsource the blanked and stamped steel components and modular
assemblies used in their vehicles. OEMs increasingly look to suppliers such as
the Company to assume blanking and stamping, as well as tool and die operations
that were previously done internally at OEMs.

INTERMEDIATE STEEL PROCESSING

     Primary steel producers typically find it more cost effective to focus on
the sale of standard size and tolerance steel to large volume purchasers and
view the intermediate steel processor as part of their customer base.
End-product manufacturers seek to purchase steel free from oxidation and scale,
with closer tolerances, on shorter lead times and with more reliable and more
frequent delivery than the primary steel producers can provide efficiently. By
outsourcing these processing services, many end-product manufacturers are able
to significantly enhance their productivity. These factors, together with the
lower cost structure typically found in the outside supplier, have caused many
end-product manufacturers to find it more beneficial, from a cost, quality and
manufacturing flexibility standpoint, to outsource much of the intermediate
steel processing, which is required for the production of their end-products.

PRODUCTS AND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES

  ENGINEERED PRODUCTS

     The Company produces precision stamped steel components through its
blanking and stamping operations. Blanking is a process in which flat rolled
steel is cut into precise two dimensional shapes by passing steel through a
press, employing a blanking die. These blanks are used principally by
manufacturers in the automobile, heavy truck, heating, ventilation and air
conditioning ("HVAC") and lawn and garden industries. These blanks are used by
the Company's automotive and heavy truck customers for automobile exterior
parts, including fenders, hoods,

                                        4
<PAGE>   5

doors and side panels, and heavy truck wheel rims and brake components. The
Company's HVAC and lawn and garden customers use blanks primarily for compressor
housings and lawn mower decks.

     The Company produces engineered-welded blanks utilizing both the mash seam
resistance and laser weld processes. The engineered-welded blanks that are
produced generally consist of two or more sheets of steel or aluminum of the
same or different material grade, thickness or coating welded together into a
single flat panel. The primary distinctions between mash seam resistance and
laser welding are weld bead appearance and cost. Engineered-welded blanks allow
OEMs to reduce vehicle weight, while maintaining body strength for safety and
improving performance of the vehicle. Furthermore, by reducing the number of
parts and supplemental operations required, engineered-welded blanks offer
significant cost savings to OEMs.

     Stamping is a process in which steel is passed through dies in a stamping
press in order to form the steel into three dimensional parts. The Company also
produces stamped parts using precision single stage, progressive and transfer
dies, which in most cases, the Company designs and manufactures. Some stamping
and blanking operations also provide value-added processes, such as welding,
assembly and painting capabilities. The Company also manufactures deep draw
stampings, such as mufflers, oil pans, transmission pans and valve covers. The
Company's stampings and assemblies are principally used as components for bumper
beams, door impact beams, steering column support, chassis components, seat
frames, structural rails, window lifts, vehicle brakes and other structural body
components for automobiles and light trucks.

     The Company also designs, engineers and produces precision tools and dies
and weld and assembly equipment. To support the manufacturing process, the
Company supplies substantially all of the tools and dies used in the blanking
and stamping operations and a portion of the welding and secondary assembly
equipment used to manufacture modular systems. The Company also produces tools
and dies for sale to OEMs, Tier I suppliers and other industrial customers.
Advanced technology is maintained to conduct activities and improve tool and die
production capabilities. The Company has computerized most of the design and
engineering portions of the tool and die production process to reduce production
time and cost.

INTERMEDIATE STEEL PROCESSING

     The Company processes flat rolled steel principally for primary steel
producers and manufacturers that require processed steel for end-product
manufacturing purposes. The Company also processes flat rolled steel for
internal blanking and stamping operations. The Company either purchases
hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel from primary steel producers located throughout
the Midwest or receives the steel on a toll-processing basis and does not
acquire ownership of it. This steel typically requires additional processing to
meet the requirements of the end-product manufacturers. The Company's
intermediate processing operations include slitting, cutting-to-length, pickling
and oiling, edge trimming, roller leveling and quality inspecting of flat rolled
steel.

     The first processing operation for hot-rolled steel typically involves
pickling, a chemical process in which an acidic solution is applied to the steel
to remove the surface oxidation and scale which develops on the steel shortly
after it is hot-rolled. During the pickling process, the steel is either coated
with oil to prevent oxidation or with a borax-based solution to prevent
oxidation and facilitate the stamping process. In 1996, the Company added an
additional pickling line, allowing the Company to nearly double capacity for
cleaning, finishing and coating steel. After pickling, the steel is ready for
either additional processing or delivery to the customer.

     Pickled steel and cold-rolled steel often go through additional processing
operations to meet the requirements of end-product manufacturers. Slitting is
the cutting of coiled steel to precise widths. Cutting to length produces steel
cut to specified lengths ranging from 12 inches to 168 inches. Edge trimming
removes a specified portion of the outside edges of the coiled steel to produce
a uniform width. Roller leveling flattens the steel by applying pressure across
the width of the steel to make the steel suitable for blanking and stamping. To
achieve high quality and increased volume levels and to be responsive to
customers' just-in-time supply requirements, most of the Company's steel
processing operations are computerized and have combined several complementary
processing lines, such as pickling, slitting and cutting to length at single
facilities. In addition to cleaning, leveling and cutting steel, the Company
inspects steel to detect production flaws and utilize computers to provide both
visual displays and documented records of the thickness maintained throughout
the entire coil of steel. The Company also performs inventory control services
for some customers.

CUSTOMERS

     The Company produces blanked and stamped parts and processed flat-rolled
steel for a variety of industrial customers. The Company supplies steel blanks,
stampings and modular assemblies primarily to North American automotive
manufacturers and stampings to other Tier I automotive suppliers. The Company
also supplies blanks and stampings to manufacturers in the lawn and garden,
HVAC, home appliance and construction industries. Finally, the Company processes
flat-rolled steel for a number of primary steel producers.

     One of the Company's largest customers is the Parma, Ohio stamping facility
of the metal fabricating division of General Motors. The Company has been
working with General Motors for more than 20 years. The Company is linked to
this facility through an electronic data interchange and the Company supplies
blanks on a just-in-time basis.

     The acquisition of MTD Automotive in November 1999 established Ford Motor
Company as another significant customer. The Company supplies Ford with
stampings and assemblies.

     In fiscal 2000, General Motors and Ford accounted for approximately 19.1%
and 18.2% of the Company's revenues, respectively.

SALES AND MARKETING

     The current sales force consists of approximately 38 individuals. These
individuals directly market the Company's automotive and steel processing
products and services. The sales force is organized to enable the Company to
target sales and marketing efforts at three distinct types of customers.

     - OEM customers;

     - Tier I suppliers; and

     - Steel consumers and producers.

     To supplement the sales and marketing efforts, the Company established a
sales and technical center in Auburn Hills, Michigan which is in close proximity
to its automotive customers. The Company's engineering staff at this center
provides total program management as well as technical assistance and support to
customers during the product development stage. The location of the engineering
and technical center allows for greater, more frequent access to some of the
Company's key customers.

OPERATIONS AND ENGINEERING

     The Company operates its steel processing facilities on an integrated
basis. A significant portion of the flat-rolled steel used by the Company in its
blanking and stamping operations is supplied through its other steel processing
operations. With three tool and die facilities, the Company typically designs,
engineers and manufacturers substantially all of the tools and dies used in its
blanking and stamping operations.

     Eleven of the Company's facilities were constructed by the Company and were
located and designed to facilitate the integrated flow of the Company's
processing operations. In addition, the Company has developed a just-in-time
delivery system that enables the Company to meet its customers' requirements for
deliveries on shorter lead times thereby minimizing their need to carry
significant inventory levels.

RAW MATERIALS

     The basic materials required for the Company's operations are hot- and
cold-rolled steel. The Company obtains steel from a number of primary steel
producers. A significant portion of the steel processing products and services
are provided to customers on a toll processing basis. Under these arrangements,
the Company charges a specified fee for operations performed without acquiring
ownership of the steel and being burdened with the attendant costs of ownership
and risk of loss. Through centralized purchasing, the Company attempts to
purchase raw materials at the lowest competitive prices for the quantity
purchased. The amount of steel available for processing is a function of the
production levels of primary steel producers.

                                        6

COMPETITION

     Competition for sales of steel blanks and stampings is intense, coming from
numerous companies, including independent domestic and international suppliers,
and from internal divisions of General Motors, Ford and DaimlerChrysler, as well
as independent domestic and international Tier I and Tier II suppliers, which
have blanking facilities and greater financial and other resources than the
Company. The market for the Company's steel processing operations is also highly
competitive. The Company competes with a number of steel processors in its
region, such as Worthington Industries and Samuel Steel Pickling Company, and
primary steel producers, many of which also have comparable facilities and
greater financial and other resources than the Company. The primary
characteristics of competition encountered in each of these markets are product
quality, service and price and technological innovation. In addition,
competition for sales of automotive stamped modules is intense. Primary
competitors in North America for the stamping business are Aetna/Sofedit, Cosma,
a division of Magna International, Oxford Automotive and Tower Automotive. The
significant areas of competition with these companies are price, product
quality, delivery and engineering capabilities.

EMPLOYEES

     As of December 31, 2000, the Company had approximately 3,600 employees. The
employees at five of the subsidiaries, an aggregate of approximately 1,465
employees, are covered by six collective bargaining agreements that are due to
expire in June 2001, August 2001, May 2002, June 2002, May 2004 and January
2005.

BACKLOG

     Because the Company conducts its steel processing operations generally on
the basis of short-term orders, backlog is not a meaningful indicator of future
performance.

SEASONALITY

     The Company typically experiences decreased revenue and operating income
during its first fiscal quarter of each year, usually resulting from generally
slower overall automobile production during the winter months. The Company's
revenues and operating income in its third fiscal quarter can also be affected
by the typically lower automobile production activities in July due to
manufacturers' changeover in production lines.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations concerning:

     - emissions to the air;

     - discharges to waterways; and

     - generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of
       waste and hazardous materials.

     The Company is also subject to laws and regulations that can require the
remediation of contamination that exists at current or former facilities. In
addition, the Company is subject to other federal and state laws and regulations
regarding health and safety matters. Each of the production facilities has
permits and licenses allowing and regulating air emissions and water discharges.
While the Company believes that at the present time they are in substantial
compliance with environmental laws and regulations, these laws and regulations
are constantly evolving and it is impossible to predict whether compliance with
all liability under these laws and regulations may have a material adverse
effect on the Company in the future.

     MTD Automotive, at its facilities in Parma and Valley City, Ohio, has
engaged in industrial manufacturing operations since 1946 and 1968, during which
time various hazardous substances have been handled at each facility. As a
consequence of these historic operations, the potential for liability relating
to contamination of soil and groundwater may exist at the Parma facility, which
the Company leases from MTD Products Inc, and the Valley City facility, which
the Company owns. Although the Company could be liable for cleanup costs at
these facilities, MTD Products Inc is contractually obligated to indemnify the
Company against any such costs arising as a result of operations prior to the
Company's acquisition of the MTD Automotive business.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

     The Company is a Delaware holding company that conducts its operations
through thirteen subsidiaries, seven located in north central Ohio, three
located in Michigan, one located in Georgia, one located in Tennessee and one
located in Mexico. The Company believes substantially all of its property and
equipment is in good condition and that it has sufficient capacity to meet its
current operational needs. The Company considers full capacity of its steel
processing facilities to be three eight hour shifts for 5.5 days per week. At
October 31, 2000, the Company's steel processing operations were operating at
near full capacity. The Company's facilities at 14 locations, all of which are
owned (except for its Utica and some of its Canton, Michigan and Cleveland, Ohio
facilities), are as follows:

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     The Company is a full service manufacturer of blanks and stamped components
for the automotive and light truck, heavy truck and other industrial markets.
The Company's engineered products include blanks, stamped components and modular
assemblies. The Company also designs, engineers and manufactures precision tools
and dies for the automotive and other industries. In addition, the Company
provides steel processing services, which include pickling hot-rolled steel,
slitting, edge trimming, roller leveling and cutting-to-length of both hot- and
cold-rolled steel. In fiscal 2000, approximately 88.8% of the Company's revenues
were generated by sales to the automotive and light truck and heavy truck
industries.

     The Company's origins date back to 1950 when its predecessor, Shiloh Tool &
Die Mfg. Company, began to design and manufacture precision tools and dies. As
an outgrowth of its precision tool and die expertise, Shiloh Tool & Die Mfg.
Company expanded into blanking and stamping operations in the early 1960's. In
April 1993, Shiloh Industries, Inc. was organized as a Delaware corporation to
serve as a holding company for its seven operating subsidiaries and in July 1993
completed an initial public offering of Common Stock.

     In January 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture with Rouge Steel
Company and formed a limited liability company, Shiloh of Michigan, L.L.C., to
produce engineered steel blanks. The Company is an 80% equity owner in this
joint venture. On November 1, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of
the assets of Greenfield Die & Manufacturing Corp., headquartered in Canton,
Michigan. Greenfield Die & Manufacturing Corp. provides a variety of value-added
processes, including tool and die design and build, stamping, assembly, welding,
prototyping operations and mold design and manufacture.

     In August 1997, the Company acquired C&H, headquartered in Utica, Michigan.
In October 2000, the Company closed C&H and the equipment was either transferred
to other Shiloh locations or is being held for sale. In October 1997, the
Company incorporated Jefferson Blanking, Inc. and commenced operations in July
1998.

     On November 1, 1999, the Company acquired MTD Automotive, the automotive
division of MTD Products Inc, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. MTD Automotive
is primarily a Tier I supplier and primarily serves the automotive industry by
providing metal stampings and modular assemblies. The aggregate consideration
for the acquisition of MTD Automotive consisted of $20.0 million in cash and the
issuance of 1,428,531 shares of Common Stock to MTD Products Inc, of which
535,714 were contingently returnable at November 1, 1999. In January 2001, the
aggregate consideration was increased based upon the performance of MTD
Automotive during the first twelve months subsequent to closing. Specifically,
the 535,714 contingently returnable shares of Common Stock were not required to
be returned to the Company and the Company issued MTD Products Inc an additional
288,960 shares of Common Stock and the Company's wholly owned subsidiary issued
a note payable in full on November 1, 2001, in the aggregate principal amount of
$4.0 million. The Company is guarantor of the note. In addition, in accordance
with the Purchase Agreement, approximately $1.8 million was returned to the
Company for settlement of price concessions and capital expenditure
reimbursements. These adjustments were reflected in the Company's financial
statements for the year ended October 31, 2000 as adjustments to the purchase
price. Also in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price may be
adjusted at the end of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002 upon resolution of certain
contingencies set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

     In July 2000, the Company announced that it would seek strategic
alternatives for two of its tool and die facilities, C&H and Canton Tool & Die,
and one of its steel processing facilities, Valley City Steel. In October 2000,
the Company closed C&H and transferred certain of its assets to other
subsidiaries of the

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

Company. The Company currently intends to sell the assets of Canton Tool & Die,
the assets of the steel processing facility of Valley City Steel and certain
assets of C&H. The Company anticipates these sales will be completed in fiscal
2001.

     On August 29, 2000, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of
Dickson for approximately $49.2 million, including approximately $1.2 million in
acquisition costs. In January 2001, certain purchase price adjustments were made
pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement in which approximately $4.5
million was released from escrow and returned to the Company. For accounting
purposes, these adjustments were reflected in the Company's financial statements
for the year ended October 31, 2000. The acquisition reflects an expansion of
the Company's capabilities and improves its position as a key supplier of
engineered metal products for automotive seating and interior structural
applications.

     In analyzing the financial aspects of the Company's operations, the
following factors should be considered.

     Plant utilization levels are very important to profitability because of the
capital intensive nature of these operations. Because the Company performs a
number of different operations, it is not meaningful to analyze simply the total
tons of steel processed. For example, blanking and stamping involve more
operational processes, from the design and manufacture of tools and dies to the
production and packaging of the final product, than the Company's other services
and therefore generally have higher margins.

     A significant portion of the Company's steel processing and blanking
products and services is provided to customers on a toll processing basis. Under
these arrangements, the Company charges a tolling fee for the operations that it
performs without acquiring ownership of the steel and being burdened with the
attendant costs of ownership and risk of loss. Although the proportion of tons
of steel which the Company uses or process that is directly owned as compared to
toll processed may fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on customers'
needs, the Company estimates that of total tons used or processed in its
operations, approximately 75.9% in 2000, 85.6% in 1999, and 87.4% in 1998, were
used or processed on a toll processing basis. Revenues from toll processing as a
percent of total revenues were approximately 16.5% in 2000, 27.6% in 1999 and
29.7% in 1998. Revenues from operations involving directly owned steel include a
component of raw material cost whereas toll processing revenues do not.
Consequently, toll processing generally results in lower revenue, but higher
gross margin, than directly owned steel processing. Therefore, an increase in
the proportion of total revenues attributable to directly owned steel processing
may result in higher revenues but lower gross margins. The Company's stamping
operations use more directly owned steel than its other operations.

     Changes in the price of scrap steel can have a significant effect on the
Company's results of operations because substantially all of its operations
generate engineered scrap steel. Engineered scrap steel is a planned by-product
of our processing operations. Changes in the price of steel, however, also can
impact the Company's results of operations because raw material costs are by far
the largest component of cost of sales in processing directly owned steel. The
Company actively manages its exposure to changes in the price of steel, and, in
most instances, passes along the rising price of steel to its customers. At
times, however, the Company has been unable to do so.

     The Company's results of operations have been adversely affected by a large
number of facility expansions and start-up operations in recent periods, such as
Shiloh de Mexico S.A. de C.V. ("Shiloh of Mexico") and Ohio Welded Blank, an
expansion facility of Medina Blanking, Inc. ("OWB"). Operations at expanded and
new facilities are typically less efficient than established operations due to
the implementation of new production processes. In addition, the Company depends
on customers to implement their purchase programs in a timely manner, which
affects the Company's ability to achieve satisfactory plant utilization rates.
When the customers fail to do so, results are negatively impacted. In the
Company's experience, operations at expanded or new facilities may be adversely
impacted by the above factors for several periods.

* indicates that amounts are greater than 0.0 percent but less than 0.1 percent.

YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999

     REVENUES. Revenues increased by $276.5 million, or 78.1%, to $630.8 million
for the year ended October 31, 2000 from $354.2 million for the comparable
period in 1999. The increase in revenues is primarily due to the inclusion of
MTD Automotive and OWB. MTD Automotive was acquired on November 1, 1999 and
accounted for $207.1 million, or 74.9%, of the revenue increase in fiscal 2000
as compared to fiscal 1999. OWB, dedicated to engineered welded blanks for the
automotive sector, became operational on November 1, 1999 and accounted for
$60.0 million, or 21.7% of the revenue increase in fiscal 2000 as compared to
fiscal 1999. In addition, in fiscal 2000, scrap revenue increased $6.9 million
as a result of (1) an increase in the average scrap price per gross ton and (2)
an increase in scrap volume, primarily as a result of the inclusion of MTD
Automotive and OWB. Excluding MTD Automotive and OWB, scrap sales increased $4.1
million in fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999. The percentage of revenues
from directly owned steel processed was 83.5% for fiscal 2000 compared to 72.4%
for fiscal 1999. Revenues from the toll processed steel were 16.5% for fiscal
2000 compared to 27.6% for fiscal 1999. This shift in the mix of revenue from
toll processing to directly owned steel primarily resulted from the addition of
MTD Automotive and OWB, which derived substantial revenue from directly owned
steel.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased by $19.7 million, or 31.4%, to $82.7
million for fiscal 2000 from $63.0 million for the comparable period in 1999.
Gross margin decreased to 13.1% in fiscal 2000 from 17.8% for the comparable
period in 1999. The increase in gross profit is primarily related to the
acquisition of MTD Automotive, which has historically generated lower gross
margins than the historical results of the Company's existing operations. The
decline in gross margin is primarily a result of the addition of MTD Automotive
and OWB, which derive substantial revenue from sales of directly owned steel
which results in higher revenues but lower gross margins. In addition, lower
gross margin and lower gross profit were experienced at Canton Tool and Die and
C&H as a result of the softening in the tool and die business and at Valley City
Steel as a result of the weakening steel industry. Excluding MTD Automotive,
OWB, Canton Tool and Die, C&H and Valley City Steel, gross profit decreased by
$3.6 million and gross margin increased to 20.0% for fiscal 2000.

                                       14
<PAGE>   15

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $24.3 million, or 77.2%, to $55.7 million
in fiscal 2000 from $31.4 million in fiscal 1999. As a percentage of revenues,
these expenses decreased slightly to 8.8% for fiscal 2000 from 8.9% for fiscal
1999. The largest component of the increase, in dollars, arose principally from
the addition of MTD Automotive and OWB. Excluding MTD Automotive and OWB,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased $14.2 million from fiscal
1999 and as a percentage of revenues increased to 12.6% from fiscal 1999.
Additional increases are the result of: the addition of corporate personnel and
related costs, a bad debt write-off relating to one customer, increased
depreciation on the new business system software, write-off of costs relating to
the high yield bond offering that was terminated during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2000, administrative expenses relating to Dickson, acquired in August
2000 and administrative expenses for the start-up of the Shiloh of Mexico
facility.

     OTHER. The Company recognized a one-time asset impairment charge of $33.0
million relating to assets held for sale at Canton Tool and Die and Valley City
Steel as well as a one time charge of $1.2 million for restructuring related to
the closing of C&H. Interest expense increased to $15.4 million in fiscal 2000
from $7.5 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1999 due primarily to
increased average borrowings during fiscal 2000 that were primarily incurred in
connection with acquisitions and capital expenditures made during fiscal 1999
and fiscal 2000. Interest expense of approximately $2.6 million relating to
expansion of several facilities was capitalized in fiscal 2000. The income tax
benefit was $8.5 million in fiscal 2000 compared with a provision for income tax
of $9.4 million in fiscal 1999, representing effective tax rates of 40.3% and
37.9%, respectively.

     NET INCOME (LOSS). Net income for fiscal 1999 decreased by $27.9 million to
a net loss of $12.6 million for fiscal 2000. This decrease was substantially the
result of the asset impairment charge and restructuring charge.

YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1998

     REVENUES. Revenues increased by $54.9 million, or 18.3%, to $354.2 million
for the year ended October 31, 1999 from $299.4 million for the comparable
period in 1998. The increase in revenues is primarily due to increased volumes
in our stamping operations, increased tailor-welded blanking revenue, increased
tool and die sales and the inclusion of a full year of revenue at Jefferson
Blanking. This increase was partially offset by a $4.0 million decrease in
revenue from sales of scrap steel due to a decline in the price of scrap steel
per gross ton from an average of $94.0 per gross ton during fiscal 1999 compared
to an average of $137.0 per gross ton for fiscal 1998. Revenues from the
blanking and stamping operations for fiscal 1999 increased approximately 24.3%
from the comparable period in fiscal 1998, while revenue from the other steel
processing operations for fiscal 1999 decreased approximately 1.3% from the
comparable period in fiscal 1998. The percentage of revenues from directly owned
steel processed was 72.4% for fiscal 1999 compared to 70.3% for fiscal 1998.
Revenues from the toll processed steel were 27.6% for fiscal 1999 and 29.7% for
the comparable period in fiscal 1998. The increase in the percentage of revenue
from directly owned steel processed of approximately 2.1% was primarily due to
the increase in directly owned steel processing revenue and tonnage at certain
facilities during the fiscal year due to a shift in customer requirements.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased by $6.1 million, or 10.7%, to $63.0
million for fiscal 1999 from $56.9 million for the comparable period in 1998.
Gross margin decreased to 17.8% in fiscal 1999 from 19.0% for the comparable
period in 1998. Gross margin was negatively affected by the 31.4% decrease in
the average price of scrap steel per ton during fiscal 1999. In addition, gross
margin was negatively affected by difficulties that the Company experienced in
the implementation of one very significant tool and die program which caused
significant difficulties at one of our tool and die facilities which resulted in
production disruptions. Finally, gross margin was negatively impacted by
increased depreciation resulting from increased capital expenditures.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $4.6 million, or 17.2%, to $31.4 million in
fiscal 1999 from $26.8 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1998. As a
percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased slightly to 8.9% for fiscal
1999 from 9.0% for the comparable period in fiscal 1998. The largest component
of the increase, in dollars, arose principally from the addition of corporate
personnel and related benefit costs. In addition, we incurred increased
professional fees associated with personnel recruitment fees and legal fees
associated with the negotiation of union contracts.

                                       15
<PAGE>   16

     OTHER. Interest expense increased to $7.5 million in fiscal 1999 from $5.3
million for the comparable period in fiscal 1998 due primarily to increased
average borrowings during fiscal 1999 that were primarily incurred in connection
with significant capital expenditures made during fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1999.
Interest expense of approximately $2.5 million relating to expansion of several
facilities was capitalized in fiscal 1999. The provision for income taxes was
$9.4 million in fiscal 1999 compared with $9.7 million in fiscal 1998,
representing effective tax rates of 37.9% and 38.4%, respectively.

     NET INCOME. Net income for fiscal 1999 decreased by $0.2 million, or 1.5%,
to $15.3 million from $15.5 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1998.
This decrease was substantially the result of a decline in scrap prices per
gross ton, lower margins on specific tool and die projects, increased
depreciation resulting from increased capital expenditures and increased
interest expense resulting from increased borrowing for significant capital
expenditures made during fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At October 31, 2000, the Company had $138.8 million of working capital,
representing a current ratio of 2.2 to 1 and debt to total capitalization of
58.3%. As a result of this strong financial condition, the Company will be able
to continue its planned investment in new equipment and facilities through the
next fiscal year.

     Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily generated from
operations of the Company plus non-cash charges for depreciation and
amortization, which because of the capital intensive nature of the Company's
business, are substantial. Net cash provided by operating activities for 2000
was $62.1 million as compared to $13.4 million for the comparable period in
fiscal 1999. Fluctuations in working capital were the primary factors causing
the increase in net cash provided by operations from fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2000.
Net cash provided by operating activities has historically been used by the
Company to fund a portion of its capital expenditures.

     Capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, were $66.2 million during the
year ended October 31, 2000 and $58.4 million during fiscal 1999. The capital
expenditures made during 2000 were primarily for expansions of existing
facilities of approximately $46.1 million, as well as sustaining capital
expenditures of approximately $20.1 million.

     The Company's total capital budget for fiscal 2001 amounts to approximately
$34.0 million. The capital expenditures in fiscal 2001 are anticipated to be
primarily for facility expansions and additions, which are being made to support
expected increases in existing business, anticipated new business and to enhance
productivity.

     On August 11, 2000, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with
The Chase Manhattan Bank as administrative agent for a group of lenders, which
replaced the KeyBank Agreement with KeyBank NA as agent for a group of lenders.
The Company now has a $300.0 million commitment under the credit agreement,
which expires in August 2005. All amounts outstanding under the KeyBank
Agreement were refinanced and all existing obligations under the KeyBank
Agreement were terminated. As a result of the refinancing, the Company
capitalized deferred financing costs of $1.5 million associated with the new
Chase Manhattan credit agreement in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, which is
being amortized over the term of the debt.

     Under the new credit agreement, the Company has the option to select the
applicable interest rate at the alternative base rate ("ABR"), as defined in the
new credit agreement to be the greater of the prime rate in effect on such day
and the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus half of 1%, or
the LIBOR rate plus a factor determined by a pricing matrix (ranging from 0.5%
to 1.5% for the ABR and ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% for the LIBOR rate) based on
funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
As of October 31, 2000, the factor as determined by the pricing matrix was 2.0%.
The terms of the new credit agreement also require an annual commitment fee
based on the amount of unused commitments under the new credit agreement and a
factor determined by a pricing matrix (ranging from 0.25% to 0.5%) based on
funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
The new credit agreement also provides for the incurrence of debt under standby
letters of credit and for the advancement of funds under a discretionary line of
credit. The maximum amount of debt that may be incurred under each of these
sources of funds is $15.0 million. As of October 31, 2000, $242.1 million was
outstanding under the credit agreement.

                                       16
<PAGE>   17

     The new credit agreement is collateralized by an interest in all of the
Company's and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries' cash and cash accounts,
accounts receivable, inventory, mortgages on certain owned real property and
equipment, excluding fixtures and general intangibles such as patents,
trademarks and copyrights.

     The credit agreement includes, without limitation, covenants involving
minimum interest coverage, minimum tangible net worth coverage and a minimum
leverage ratio. In addition, the new credit agreement limits the incurrence of
additional indebtedness, capital expenditures, investments, dividends,
transactions with affiliates, asset sales, leaseback transactions, acquisitions,
prepayments of other debt, hedging agreements and liens and encumbrances and
certain transactions resulting in a change of control.

     On January 22, 2001, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, MTD Automotive,
executed a note in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $4.0 million
in favor of MTD Products Inc as partial payment of the additional consideration
owed to MTD Products based on the performance of MTD Automotive for the first
twelve months subsequent to consummation of such acquisition. Specifically,
aggregate consideration increased in that the 535,714 contingently returnable
shares of Common Stock were not required to be returned to the Company, the
Company issued MTD Products an additional 288,960 shares of Common Stock and the
note was issued to MTD Products Inc. The note is payable in full on November 1,
2001. Interest on such note is at a rate of 8.620% per annum. The Company is
guarantor of such note. These adjustments were reflected in the Company's
financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2000 as adjustments to the
purchase price.

     In addition, in January 2001, due to certain purchase price adjustments
made pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated July 18, 2000, by and
between the Company and A.G. Simpson (Tennessee) Inc., approximately $4.5
million was released from escrow and returned to the Company. For accounting
purposes, these adjustments were reflected in the Company's financial statements
for the year ended October 31, 2000.

     The Company executed a demand promissory note as of December 6, 1996 in
favor of The Richland Bank in the aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million.
Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance under that facility at
LIBOR plus 0.75%.

     In March 1995, Medina County, Ohio issued on the Company's behalf an
aggregate of $5.4 million in principal amount of variable rate industrial
revenue bonds due 2010, all of which was outstanding as of October 31, 1999.
These bonds are secured by a letter of credit. The funds from these bonds were
used to finance a portion of the expansion at the steel pickling operations in
Valley City, Ohio.

     The Company intends to dispose of the assets of Canton Tool and Die and
Valley City Steel and certain of the assets of C & H. The Company expects to
complete the sale of these assets during fiscal 2001. As of the date hereof, no
definitive agreement with respect to any such transaction has been entered into.
In addition, the Company from time to time is involved in various stages of
discussion or negotiation regarding other acquisitions, dispositions and other
such transactions and strategic alternatives. There is no assurance that any
such sale or strategic or other alternative will be consummated.

EFFECT OF INFLATION

     Inflation generally affects the Company by increasing the interest expense
of floating rate indebtedness and by increasing the cost of labor, equipment and
raw materials. The general level of inflation has not had a material effect on
the Company's financial results.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company's major market risk exposure is primarily due to possible
fluctuations in interest rates as they relate to its variable rate debt. The
Company does not enter into derivative financial investments for trading or
speculation purposes. As a result, the Company believes that its market risk
exposure is not material to the Company's financial position, liquidity or
results of operations.

auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

                            SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 -- BUSINESS

     Shiloh Industries, Inc. (the "Company") is a full service manufacturer of
blanks and stamped components for the automotive and light truck, heavy truck
and other industrial markets.

NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

  REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The Company recognizes revenue upon product shipment. Revenues include both
direct sales as well as toll processing revenue. Toll processing revenue is
generated as a result of the Company performing steel processing operations
without acquiring ownership of the material. Revenues include $103,937,259,
$97,937,323 and $88,792,119 of toll processing revenue for 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     The Company accrues the cost of defined benefit pension plans which cover a
majority of the Company's employees in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 87. The plans are funded based on the
requirements and limitations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The majority of employees of the Company participate in discretionary
profit sharing plans administered by the Company. The Company also provides
postretirement benefits to certain employees (Note 11).

  GOODWILL

     Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of
acquired entities and is amortized on a straight-line basis over its expected
benefit period of 30 years. During 2000, 1999 and 1998, goodwill amortization
amounted to $396,803, $408,558 and $408,558, respectively. Accumulated
amortization was $1,589,464 and $1,192,661 for October 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

     The Company uses an undiscounted cash flow method to review the
recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill and other long-lived assets.

  STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS INFORMATION

     Cash and cash equivalents include checking accounts and all highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents
are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

</TABLE>

  INVENTORIES

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, cost being
determined primarily by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method and the balance
determined by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method, which approximates
average cost.

  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for
maintenance, repairs and renewals are charged to expense as incurred, whereas
major improvements are capitalized. The cost of these improvements is
depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives range from five to
twelve years for furniture and fixtures and machinery and equipment, fifteen to
twenty years for land improvements and thirty to forty years for buildings and
their related improvements. Depreciation is computed using principally the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods
for income tax purposes.

  INCOME TAXES

     The Company utilizes the asset and liability method in accounting for
income taxes which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and
assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between
the carrying amount and tax basis of assets and liabilities.

  CONCENTRATION OF RISK

     The Company sells products to customers primarily in the automotive, light
truck and heavy truck industries. The Company performs on-going credit
evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral when
extending credit. The Company maintains a reserve for potential credit losses.
Currently, the Company does not have financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk. During fiscal 2000, the Company's sales to General Motors and Ford
Motor Company represented 19.1% and 18.2% of the Company's revenues,
respectively.

     As of December 31, 2000, the Company had approximately 3,600 employees. The
employees at five of its subsidiaries, an aggregate of approximately 1,465
employees, are covered by six collective bargaining agreements that are due to
expire in June 2001, August 2001, May 2002, June 2002, May 2004 and January
2005.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The carrying amount of cash and investments, trade receivables and payables
approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The
carrying value of the Company's long-term debt is considered to approximate the
fair value of these instruments based on the borrowing rates currently available
to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities.

  ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 in
accounting for stock-based employee compensation; however, the impact of the
fair value based method described in SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" is presented in the notes to the financial statements (Note 12).

  EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the potential dilutive effect of the Company's stock
option plan by adjusting the denominator using the treasury stock method.

     The outstanding stock options under the Company's Key Employee Stock
Incentive Plan (Note 12) are included in the diluted earnings per share
calculation to the extent they are dilutive. The only reconciling item between
the average outstanding shares in each calculation is the stock options
outstanding. The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator
of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation for net income.

     The 535,714 contingently returnable shares of Common Stock of the Company
and the 288,960 additional shares of Common Stock of the Company associated with
the MTDA acquisition were not included in quarterly weighted average shares when
the Company published its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q during fiscal 2000
since the earn-out contingency had not been resolved as of such time. Since the
contingency was resolved by the end of fiscal 2000, such shares are included in
basic and diluted weighted average shares from the beginning of the quarter in
which they were earned for the twelve months ended October 31, 2000. Weighted
average shares and earnings per share for each quarterly period presented in
Note 15 were revised to reflect shares earned during

the respective period based on the contingency resolution. The 288,960
additional shares were issued in January 2001 and are considered issued and
outstanding for financial reporting purposes at October 31, 2000.

  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133") was issued effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. This Statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts,
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 "Accounting For
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 133." This delays the effective date of SFAS No. 133 until
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact, if any, of SFAS No. 133, but does not expect adoption to materially
affect its financial position, results of operations or financial statement
disclosures.

     The Accounting Standards Executive Committee Statement of Position 98-5,
"Accounting for the Costs of Start-up Activities" ("SOP 98-5"), issued in April
1998 and effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998 with
earlier application permitted, provides guidance on financial reporting of start
up costs and organization costs. The adoption of SOP 98-5 in fiscal 2000 did not
have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     In December 1999, the Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB")
101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which provides guidance
related to revenue recognition based on interpretations and practices
promulgated by the Commission. SAB 101, as amended, is effective for the fourth
fiscal quarter of 2001. The Company is currently determining the effect, if any,
it will have on its financial statements.

NOTE 3 -- ACQUISITIONS

     On August 29, 2000 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of A.G. Simpson (Tennessee) Inc. for approximately
$49,222,546 consisting of $47,932,625 in cash and $1,289,921 in acquisition
costs. In January 2001, certain purchase price adjustments were made pursuant to
the terms of the Purchase Agreement in which $4,478,659 was released from escrow
and returned to the Company. For accounting purposes, these adjustments were
reflected in the Company's financial statements for the year ended October 31,
2000. Accounts receivable at October 31, 2000 include $4,478,659 related to
these adjustments. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting. A.G. Simpson (Tennessee) Inc.'s assets and liabilities were
recorded at their fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The final
purchase price allocation is subject to refinement upon completion of a review
of property, plant and equipment, intangibles, and certain accrued liabilities.
The total cost of net assets acquired was $44,743,887 and consisted of assets of
$57,176,137 less liabilities assumed of $12,432,250. Assets acquired (at fair
value) consisted primarily of accounts receivable of $12,396,976, inventories of
$2,096,765, costs in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts of $3,176,462,
prepaid expenses of $17,574, and fixed assets of $39,488,360. Liabilities
assumed (at fair value) consisted primarily of accounts payable of $9,992,882,
accrued liabilities of $1,946,667 and billings in excess of costs on uncompleted
contracts of $492,701. The Consolidated Statement of Operations includes the
results of operations of A.G. Simpson (Tennessee) Inc. since the date of the
acquisition.

     On November 1, 1999, the Company acquired MTD Automotive ("MTDA"), the
automotive division of MTD Products Inc, a significant stockholder of the
Company. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. MTDA is a manufacturer of stamped parts and components for the
automotive industry, and sells primarily to original equipment manufacturers in
the United States. MTDA net sales were $192,850,382 in its fiscal year ended
July 31, 1999.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company acquired
substantially all of the assets of MTDA for aggregate consideration of
$20,000,000 in cash and 1,428,571 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a
price of $14.00 per share. Of the original 1,428,571 shares of Common Stock
issued, 535,714 shares were considered contingent consideration for the first
three quarters of fiscal 2000 and did not enter into the purchase price
allocation until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, when the contingency was
resolved. The aggregate consideration was subsequently increased in that the
535,714 contingently returnable shares of Common Stock were not required to be
returned to the Company and the Company issued an additional 288,960 shares of
Common Stock and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company issued a note to MTD
Products Inc in the aggregate principal amount of $4,045,392. In addition, the
purchase price decreased by $1,820,113 for settlement of certain price
concessions and capital expenditure reimbursements. These adjustments were
reflected in the Company's financial statements for the year ended October 31,
2000 as adjustments to the purchase price. The Company is guarantor of the note.
The note is payable in full on November 1, 2001. The 288,960 additional shares
were issued in January 2001 and are considered issued and outstanding for
financial reporting purposes at October 31, 2000.

     The Company incurred an aggregate of $1,591,573 in acquisition costs
associated with the acquisition. Cash in the amount of $20,000,000 was paid on
the effective date of the acquisition and was financed by the Company's
revolving credit facility and 1,428,571 shares of common stock were issued on
the same date. The initial purchase price was calculated based on $20,000,000
cash paid at closing and 892,857 shares of Common Stock valued at $9,642,856,
based on the market price at the date of the acquisition. The final purchase
price was increased by $4,045,392 in cash and 824,674 shares of Common Stock
valued at $4,898,563 based on the market price at October 31, 2000, the time the
performance contingency was resolved, and decreased by $1,820,113 for settlement
of certain price concessions and capital expenditure reimbursements, which is
included in accounts receivable at October 31, 2000.

     The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities
based upon their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. The total
cost of net assets acquired was $38,358,271 and consisted of assets of
$52,601,553 less liabilities assumed of $14,243,282. Assets acquired, (at fair
value) consisted of accounts receivable of $19,366,134, inventory of $24,196,338
pension assets of $4,465,799, fixed assets of $4,452,598 and other assets of
$120,684. Liabilities assumed (at fair value) consisted of accounts payable of
$11,307,031 and accrued liabilities of $2,936,251. The Company is in the process
of finalizing the purchase price allocation. The final purchase price allocation
is subject to refinement upon completion of a review of property, plant and
equipment, intangibles, and certain accrued liabilities. In addition, under the
terms of the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price may be adjusted at the end
of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002 upon resolution of additional contingencies set
forth in such Purchase Agreement. The Consolidated Statement of Operations
includes the results of operations of MTDA since the date of the acquisition.

     The following are unaudited pro forma results of operations for the years
ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 assuming the acquisitions of A.G. Simpson
(Tennessee) Inc. had occurred on November 1, 1998 and 1999 and MTD Automotive
had occurred on November 1, 1998. The results are not necessarily indicative of
future operations or what would have occurred had the acquisitions been
consummated on the respective dates.

NOTE 4 -- RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

     In July 2000, the Company announced that it would seek strategic
alternatives for two of its tool and die facilities, Utica Tool & Die and Canton
Tool & Die, and one of the its steel processing facilities, Valley City Steel.

     In October 2000 the Company closed Utica Tool & Die ("UTD"). During the
fourth quarter ended October 31, 2000 the Company recorded a pre-tax asset
impairment charge of $6,539,430 to write-down certain UTD long-lived assets to
be disposed of to the Company's estimated fair value. Fair value was primarily
based on appraisal values. Actual results could differ significantly from such
estimates. Certain assets were transferred to other divisions of the Company (at
net book value) to be used in ongoing operations and remaining impaired assets
are in the process of being sold or disposed. In addition, during the fourth
quarter ended October 31, 2000 the Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring
charge of $1,229,932 associated with the closure of UTD. The restructuring
charge consisted of lease termination costs $802,237, facility closing costs
$136,000, personnel costs $48,002, and other costs $243,693. Approximately
$969,897 remains as accrued exit costs at October 31, 2000.

     In October 2000 the Company committed to plans to sell Canton Tool & Die
and Valley City Steel. Accordingly, the Company has classified the net assets of
Canton Tool & Die and Valley City Steel as Assets Held for Sale. In accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,"
the Company recorded an impairment charge associated with these facilities and
will not reflect depreciation expense against future operations. The resulting
pre-tax adjustment of $26,503,505 was recorded in the fourth quarter ended
October 31, 2000. The carrying values of the net assets were written down to the
Company's estimates of fair value. Fair value was based on current offers to
purchase these businesses, less costs to dispose. Actual results could differ
significantly from such estimates. At October 31, 2000 the net assets of Canton
Tool & Die and Valley City Steel have a remaining carrying amount of
approximately $32,705,765. The Company intends to operate these facilities while
pursuing alternatives for their sale. The Company expects to complete the sale
of these facilities by the end of fiscal 2001.

     Together, these three facilities recorded net sales of $68.6 million, $81.8
million and $76.2 million and contributed net operating losses of $9.7 million,
$5.2 million and $7.2 million for the years ended October 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively, net of asset impairment and restructuring charges and
inter-company sales and expenses.

NOTE 5 -- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

     Accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheet are expected to be
collected within one year and are net of provisions for doubtful accounts, in
the amount of $1,777,611 and $1,080,641 at October 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

</TABLE>

     The weighted average interest rate was 8.26% for fiscal 2000, 8.19% for
fiscal 1999 and 5.85% for fiscal 1998.

     On August 11, 2000 the Company entered into a new credit agreement with The
Chase Manhattan Bank as administrative agent for a group of lenders, which
replaced the KeyBank Agreement with KeyBank NA as agent for a group of lenders.
The Company now has a $300.0 million commitment under the credit agreement,
which expires in August 2005. All amounts outstanding under the KeyBank
Agreement were refinanced and all existing obligations under the KeyBank
Agreement were terminated. As a result of the refinancing the Company
capitalized deferred financing costs of $1.5 million associated with the new
Chase Manhattan credit agreement in the fourth quarter, which are being
amortized over the term of the debt.

     Under the new credit agreement, the Company has the option to select the
applicable interest rate at the alternative base rate ("ABR"), as defined in the
new credit agreement to be the greater of the prime rate in effect on such day
and the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus half of 1%, or
the LIBOR rate plus a factor determined by a pricing matrix (ranging from 0.5%
to 1.5% for the ABR and ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% for the LIBOR rate) based on
funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
As of October 31, 2000 the factor as determined by the pricing matrix was 2.0%.
The terms of the new credit agreement also require an annual commitment fee
based on the amount of unused commitments under the new credit agreement and a
factor determined by a pricing matrix (ranging from 0.25% to 0.5%) based on
funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
The new credit agreement also provides for the incurrence of debt under standby
letters of credit and for the advancement of funds under a discretionary line of
credit. The maximum amount of debt that may be incurred under each of these
sources of funds is $15.0 million.

     The new credit agreement is collateralized by an interest in all of the
Company's and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries' cash and cash accounts,
accounts receivable, inventory, mortgages on certain owned real property,
equipment excluding fixtures and general intangibles such as patents, trademarks
and copyrights.

     The credit agreement includes, without limitation, covenants involving
minimum interest coverage, minimum tangible net worth coverage and a minimum
leverage ratio. In addition, the new credit agreement limits the incurrence of
additional indebtedness, capital expenditures, investments, dividends,
transactions with affiliates, asset sales, leaseback transactions, acquisitions,
prepayments of other debt, hedging agreements and liens and encumbrances and
certain transactions resulting in a change of control.

     In March, 1995, Medina County, Ohio issued on the Company's behalf an

in the event of death, to their designated beneficiary. A benefit is also paid
if the employee terminates employment (other than by discharge for cause).
Compensation expense relating to this plan was $283,933, $285,593 and $216,028
in fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The benefits accrued under this
plan were $1,053,705 at October 31, 2000.

NOTE 12 -- STOCK AND BONUS PLANS

  1993 KEY EMPLOYEE STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

     The Company maintains a Key Employee Stock Incentive Program (the
"Incentive Plan"), which authorizes grants to officers and other key employees
of the Company and its subsidiaries of (i) stock options that are intended to
qualify as "incentive stock options", (ii) nonqualified stock options and (iii)
restricted stock awards. An aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of common stock,
subject to adjustment upon occurrence of certain events to prevent dilution or
expansion of the rights of participants that might otherwise result from the
occurrence of such events, has been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of
stock options.

     Exercise prices for options outstanding as of October 31, 2000 ranged from

range of $9.50 to $13.50 per share.

     In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," ("SFAS 123") the Company has elected to continue
applying the intrinsic value approach under the Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans.
Accordingly, the Company does not recognize compensation expense for stock
options when the stock price at the grant date is equal to or greater than the
fair market value of the stock at that date.

     SFAS 123 requires pro forma information on net income and earnings per
share as if the fair value method for valuing stocks options, as prescribed by
SFAS 123, had been applied. The Company's pro forma information follows:

  EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE BONUS PLAN

     In 1996, the Company replaced the Executive Bonus Plan with the Short-Term
Incentive Plan (the "Bonus Plan") which provides annual incentive bonuses to its
eligible employees. The Bonus Plan provides for an aggregate annual bonus pool
(the "Aggregate Amount") equal to 5% of the Company's operating earnings.
Incentives up to the Aggregate Amount may be paid to the individual
participants, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, by the Board of
Directors upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee and the Board of
Directors. In determining the individual incentives, in the case of the Chief
Executive Officer, 75% of the incentive depends upon meeting the corporate goal
for return on equity and 25% of the incentive depends upon meeting specific,
project-oriented goals. These goals are established by the Board of Directors.
In the case of corporate executives eligible for the Bonus Plan, 65% of the
incentive depends upon meeting the goal for return on equity and 35% of the
incentive depends upon specific goals established by the Chief Executive
Officer. Finally, in the case of the remaining employees eligible for the Bonus
Plan, 50% of the incentive depends upon meeting the goal for operating return on
assets established by the Chief Executive Officer and 50% of the incentive
depends upon specific goals as established by the Chief Executive Officer.
During fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, amounts of $310,249, $383,000 and $1,089,000,
respectively, were paid under the existing bonus plan for that fiscal year.
