METALLURG HOLDINGS, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    Basis of Presentation

      Metallurg Holdings, Inc.'s ("Metallurg Holdings")  accompanying condensed
      unaudited consolidated financial statements as  of July 31, 1998 and for 
      the period ended July 31, 1998 include the accounts of Metallurg Holdings 
      and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). 
      Metallurg, Inc.'s condensed consolidated financial statements for the 
      quarters ended July 31, 1998 (unaudited), July 31, 1997 (unaudited) and 
      March 31, 1997 (audited), the two quarters ended July 31, 1998 (unaudited)
      and as of July 31, 1998 (unaudited), January 31, 1998 (audited) and 
      March 31, 1997 (audited) include the accounts of Metallurg, Inc. and its
      majority-owned subsidiaries ("Metallurg"). These financial statements have
      been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
      for interim financial information pursuant to Accounting Principles Board
      ("APB") Opinion No. 28. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
      information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
      principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of 
      management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
      considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
      results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative
      of the results to be expected for a full year.

      On February 26, 1997, the Fourth Amended and Restated Joint Plan of
      Reorganization (the "Plan") of Metallurg, Inc. and one of its
      subsidiaries, Shieldalloy Metallurgical Corporation ("Shieldalloy"), was
      confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
      York. Transactions contemplated by the Plan were consummated on April 14,
      1997 (the "Effective Date"). For financial reporting purposes, Metallurg
      has reflected the effects of the Plan consummation as of March 31, 1997.
      As a result of the consummation of the Plan and the adoption of
      fresh-start reporting under the American Institute of Certified Public
      Accountants' ("AICPA") Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by
      Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code", financial
      statements for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, which includes the
      effects of the adoption of fresh-start reporting and consummation of the
      Plan are referred to as the "Predecessor Company". Financial statements
      for periods subsequent to March 31, 1997 are referred to as the
      "Reorganized Company". The financial statements of Metallurg after
      consummation of the Plan are not comparable to Metallurg's financial
      statements of prior periods.

      Metallurg Holdings and Metallurg, the two holding companies, report
      on a fiscal year ending January 31. The operating subsidiaries report on a
      one-month lag. Accordingly, the period ended July 31, 1998 includes (i)
      the results of Metallurg Holdings from its inception (June 10, 1998) to
      July 31, 1998 (a loss of $654,000) and (ii) the results of Metallurg,
      Inc., the holding company, for the period subsequent to the Merger, 
      as defined below (a loss of $3,962,000). The results of Metallurg's 
      operating subsidiaries are not included in these results. The results of
      operations of Metallurg for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 includes 
      operating subsidiaries' results for the period April 1, 1998 to June 30, 
      1998 and Metallurg, Inc.'s, the holding company's, results for the period
      May 1, 1998 to July 31, 1998. The results of operations of Metallurg for 
      the two quarters ended July 31, 1998 include the operating subsidiaries' 
      results from January 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998 and Metallurg, Inc.'s, the 
      holding company's, results from February 1, 1998 to July 31, 1998. The 
      consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 1998 reflects the positions of 
      Metallurg Holdings and Metallurg, Inc. at July 31, 1998 and of Metallurg's
      operating subsidiaries at June 30, 1998. Metallurg changed its reporting 
      period on April 1, 1997. Accordingly, the quarter ended July 31, 1997 
      includes three months of operating results for the operating subsidiaries 
      plus, in this transitional period, an additional month of operating 
      results of  Metallurg, Inc., the holding company, in the amount of an 
      $803,000 loss.

2.    The Acquisition Transactions

      Metallurg Holdings, a Delaware corporation formed on June 10, 1998, is a
      wholly owned subsidiary of a group of investors led by and including 
      Safeguard International Fund, L.P. ("Safeguard"), an international 
      private equity fund that invests primarily in equity securities of 
      companies in process industries. On July 13, 1998, Metallurg Acquisition
      Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Metallurg Holdings, merged with and 
      into Metallurg, Inc., with Metallurg, Inc. being the surviving company and
      Metallurg Holdings becoming the sole parent of Metallurg, Inc. (the 
      "Merger"). Metallurg, founded in 1911, is a leading international 
      producer and seller of high-quality metal alloys and specialty metals 
      used by manufacturers of steel, aluminum, superalloys and chemicals and 
      other metal consuming industries.

      At the time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Metallurg common
      stock, par value $0.01 per share, was converted into the right to receive
      $30 in cash, representing an aggregate cash price of approximately $152.2
      million (including payments for cancellation of compensatory options).
      Metallurg Holding's purchase of Metallurg was recorded under the purchase
      method of accounting in accordance with APB Opinion No. 16, "Business
      Combinations". The total value of the transaction, including existing
      indebtedness and environmental, pension and other liabilities, net of
      cash, was approximately $300 million. The excess of the purchase price
      over the fair value of the net assets acquired is approximately $99.2
      million and is being amortized over a period of 20 years.

      In order to finance the Merger, (i) Safeguard and certain of its limited
      partners contributed approximately $97.0 million of capital to Metallurg
      Holdings (the "Equity Contribution"); and (ii) Metallurg Holdings received
      approximately $62.9 million net proceeds upon consummation of the offering
      of $121.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of 12 3/4% Senior
      Discount Notes due 2008 (the "Discount Notes") in a Rule 144A private
      placement to qualified institutional investors (the "Offering"). As used
      herein, the term "Acquisition Transactions" means the Equity Contribution,
      the Offering, the Merger, the Consent Solicitation (as defined herein) and
      the execution of a supplemental indenture to the indenture governing
      Metallurg, Inc.'s 11% Senior Notes due 2007 (the "Senior Notes").

      In connection with the Merger, Metallurg received the consents (the
      "Consent Solicitation") of 100% of the registered holders of its Senior
      Notes to a one-time waiver of the change of control provisions of the
      Senior Note Indenture to make such provisions inapplicable to the Merger
      and to amend the definition of "Permitted Holders" under the Senior Note
      Indenture to reflect the post-Merger ownership of Metallurg.

      For further information, see the financial statements and footnotes
      thereto included in Metallurg, Inc.'s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended 
      July 31, 1998 and report on Form 10-K for the period ended January 31, 
      1998.


3.    Change of Control

      Pursuant to existing employment agreements between Metallurg and Michael
      A. Standen, J. Richard Budd, Michael A. Banks, Barry C. Nuss and Eric L.
      Schondorf, each of these individuals is, in certain circumstances,
      entitled to payments of $1.2 million, $474,300, $321,300, $321,300 and
      $313,650, respectively, if their employment is terminated by them or by
      the surviving company in accordance with the terms of their respective
      employment agreements following the Merger. See Metallurg's Annual Report
      on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1998 which has been filed with
      the Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of these
      employment agreements and of certain other benefits to which these
      employees may become entitled in the event of their termination.

      As of August 10, 1998, Mr. Standen resigned as Metallurg's President and
      chief executive officer and therefore became entitled to the payments set
      forth in his contract, including the payments described above. 

                                       13
<PAGE>

     No other member of management has agreed to waive his right to receive the
     payments described above and, therefore additional payments may need to be
     made under existing contractual arrangements as described above.

4.   Capitalization

     The total number of shares of all classes of stock which Metallurg Holdings
     is authorized to issue is 50,000 shares, of which 30,000 shares shall be
     Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock"), 10,000 shares shall be
     Series A Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01 par value ("Series A
     Preferred Stock") and 10,000 shares shall be Series B Non-Voting Preferred
     Stock, $.01 par value ("Series B Preferred Stock"). At July 31, 1998, no
     Common Stock was issued and outstanding; however, 5,202.335 shares of
     Series A Preferred Stock and 4,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were
     issued and outstanding.

5.   Earnings Per Share

     The presentation of earnings per share is not meaningful since 100% of the
     capital stock of the Company is owned by a group of investors led by and 
     including Safeguard.

6.   Inventories

     Inventories, net of reserves, consist of the following (in thousands):

7.   Pro Forma Results

     The pro forma information presented here is based upon the historical

     the proceeds related thereto, (iii) the issuance of the 12 3/4% Senior
     Discount Notes of Metallurg Holdings due 2008 and (iv) the Merger and the

     The pro forma financial information presented is not necessarily indicative
     of either the results of operations that would have occurred had the Pro 
     Forma Transactions taken place at the beginning of the respective periods 
     or the future operating results of the Company.

     This Merger has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
     and accordingly, the results of operations of Metallurg have been included
     in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the date of the
     Merger. The cost of the Merger was allocated on the basis of the estimated
     fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The
     purchase price allocation has been completed on a preliminary basis.
     Management does not believe that changes in the purchase price allocation
     will be material.

     The pro forma adjustments include the amortization of goodwill over 20
     years, interest expense due to the issuance of the Discount Notes and the
     retirement of certain debt, certain overhead expenses and the tax effect of
     the pro forma adjustments.


8.   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosure
     about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". SFAS No. 131
     requires the reporting of profit and loss, specific revenue and expense
     items and assets for reportable segments. It also requires the
     reconciliation of total segment revenues, total segment profit or loss,
     total segment assets and other amounts disclosed for segments to the
     corresponding amounts in the general purpose financial statements. The
     Company will adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of 1998.

     In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosure
     About Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits". SFAS No. 132 changes
     current financial disclosure requirements from those that were required
     under SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions", SFAS No. 88,
     "Employers' Accounting for Settlement and Curtailments of Defined Benefit
     Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits" and SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
     Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions". The Company
     will adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of 1998.

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
     Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting
     and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
     derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, 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. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal
     quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company is
     currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 133 will have on its financial
     statements.

9.    Commitments and Contingencies

      The Company continues defending various claims and legal actions arising
      in the normal course of business, including those relating to
      environmental matters. Management believes, based on the advice of
      counsel, that the outcome of such litigation will not have a material
      adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

             METALLURG HOLDINGS, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                                      OF OPERATIONS



Overview - On July 13, 1998, Metallurg Holdings, a Delaware corporation formed
on June 10, 1998 by Safeguard and institutional co-investors, acquired
Metallurg. Effective March 31, 1997, Metallurg implemented fresh-start reporting
relating to its emergence from bankruptcy. Accordingly, all assets and
liabilities were restated to reflect their respective fair values and the
consolidated financial statements subsequent to that date include the related
amortization of credits associated with the fair value adjustments. The
consolidated financial statements after that date are those of a new reporting
entity and are not comparable to the pre-confirmation periods.

Metallurg's period ended July 31, 1998 includes operating subsidiaries' results
for the period April 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998 and the holding company's results
for the period May 1, 1998 to July 31, 1998. Metallurg's year-to-date financial
statements ended July 31, 1998 include the operating subsidiaries' results from
January 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998 and the holding company's results from February
1, 1998 to July 31, 1998. The consolidated balance sheet data of the Company at
July 31, 1998 reflect the financial position of Metallurg, Inc. and Metallurg
Holdings, Inc. at July 31, 1998 and the operating subsidiaries at June 30, 1998.

In addition, as a result of Metallurg's change in its fiscal year from a
calendar year to January 31, effective as of April 1, 1997, the consolidated
operating results of Metallurg for the quarter ending July 31, 1997 include the
results of Metallurg, Inc., the parent holding company, for the four month
period ended July 31, 1997 and the results of its operating subsidiaries (whose
fiscal years remain the calendar year) for the three month period ended June 30,
1997. The consolidated balance sheet data of the Company at July 31, 1997
reflect the financial position of Metallurg, Inc. at July 31, 1997 and the
operating subsidiaries at June 30, 1997.

METALLURG HOLDINGS' RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- PERIOD ENDED JULY 31, 1998

The net loss of $4.6 million was primarily attributable to the Merger costs of
$4.4 million. These costs included (a) $3.5 million for payment to cancel 
compensatory options; (b) $0.6 million in consent fees incurred in order to 
obtain a one-time waiver of the change of control provisions of the Senior Note
Indenture and to amend the Indenture to reflect the post-Merger ownership of 
Metallurg; and (c) $0.3 million of other merger costs.

Metallurg Inc.'s Results of Operations - Quarter Ended July 31, 1998 Compared to
Quarter Ended July 31, 1997 and Quarter Ended April 30, 1998 Compared to Quarter
Ended March 31, 1997

The following presentation of the Management, Discussion and Analysis for
results of operations are for Metallurg, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries
and do not include the results of operations for Metallurg Holdings. As stated
previously, Metallurg Holdings was formed on June 10, 1998 for the purpose of
consummating the acquisition of Metallurg, Inc., which was completed on July 13,
1998.

Total Revenues
--------------
Total revenues for Metallurg increased by 1.9%, from $166.9 million in the
quarter ended July 31, 1997 to $170.0 million in the quarter ended July 31,
1998. Increased volume and selling prices of ferrovanadium accounted for most of
the increase. In addition, revenues from increased sales of ferrotitanium and
chromium metal, due primarily to increased volume, more than offset a reduction
in sales of low carbon ferrochrome, ferroboron and polishing powders due
primarily to increased price competition.

Total revenues for Metallurg increased by 7.9%, from $155.6 million in the first
quarter of 1997 to $167.8 million in the first quarter of 1998. Increased volume
and selling prices of ferrovanadium accounted for substantially all of the
increase. In addition, revenues from increased sales of ferrotitanium and low
carbon ferrochrome, due primarily to increased volume, more than offset a
reduction in sales of ferroboron and polishing powders due to increased price
competition.

                                       17

Gross Margins
-------------
Gross margins increased from $24.7 million in the quarter ended July 31, 1997 to
$27.3 million in the quarter ended July 31, 1998, an increase of 10.5%, due
principally to the price and volume increases in ferrovanadium and
ferrotitanium. In aluminum master alloys and compacted products, a slight
decrease in volume was more than offset by improvements in product mix and
selling prices. Improvement in gross margins was partially offset by decreases
in low carbon ferrochrome margins resulting from lower selling prices and less
favorable product mix. The values of Metallurg's assets were reduced pursuant to
fresh-start reporting, reducing depreciation expense in each of the quarters
ended July 31, 1998 and 1997 by $0.3 million and increasing gross margins by an
equal amount.

Gross margins increased from $21.5 million in the first quarter of 1997 to $28.8
million in the first quarter of 1998, an increase of 33.9%, due principally to
the price and volume increases discussed above. In aluminum master alloys and
compacted products, a slight decrease in volume was more than offset by
improvements in product mix and selling prices, which offset negative production
variances. The values of Metallurg's assets were reduced pursuant to fresh-start
reporting, reducing depreciation expense in the quarter ended April 30, 1998 by
$0.3 million and increasing gross margins by an equal amount.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
--------------------------------------------
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased from $14.4
million in the quarter ended July 31, 1997 to $15.1 million in the quarter ended
July 31, 1998, an increase of 5.0%. For the quarter ended July 31, 1997, SG&A
represented 8.7% of Metallurg's sales compared to 8.9% for the quarter ended
July 31, 1998. SG&A were higher in 1998 due partly to the accelerated
amortization of awards under the Stock Award and Stock Option Plan of Metallurg
issued in connection with the consummation of the Plan.

SG&A decreased from $15.0 million in the first quarter of 1997 to $14.8 million
in the first quarter of 1998, a decrease of 1.9%. For the first quarter of 1997,
SG&A represented 9.7% of Metallurg's sales compared to 8.8% for the first
quarter of 1998. SG&A was higher in 1997 due to increased bonus accruals and
Stock Awards incurred in connection with the consummation of the Plan and
additional costs related to the audit of March 31, 1997 financial statements.

Operating Income
----------------
Operating income decreased from $10.3 million in the quarter ended July 31, 1997
to $7.8 million in the quarter ended July 31, 1998, a decrease of 24.6%. The
decrease results almost entirely from the merger costs of $4.4 million incurred
in July 1998. These costs included (a) $3.5 million for payments to cancel
compensatory options; (b) $0.6 million in consent fees incurred in order to
obtain a one-time waiver of the change of control provisions of the Senior Note
Indenture and to amend the Indenture to reflect the post-Merger ownership of
Metallurg, Inc.; and (c) $0.3 million of other merger costs.

Operating income increased from $6.5 million for the first quarter of 1997 to
$14.1 million for the first quarter of 1998, an increase of 117.0%. The increase
resulted from the improvement in gross margins and decrease in SG&A, mentioned
above.

</TABLE>


Interest expense increased significantly in 1998. In each of the first two
quarters of 1998, Metallurg accrued approximately $2.8 million of interest
expense on $100 million aggregate principal amount of its 11% senior notes due
2007 (the "11% Senior Notes"), which were issued in November 1997. Metallurg
used a portion of the proceeds from the 11% Senior Notes to retire $39.5 million
of the then outstanding 12% Senior-Secured Notes of Metallurg, Inc. due 2007
(the "12% Senior-Secured Notes"). In each of the first two quarters of 1997,
Metallurg accrued approximately $1.2 million of interest expense on these 12%
Senior-Secured Notes. Metallurg did not accrue interest on debt incurred prior
to entering Chapter 11 proceedings. As a result, approximately $2.1 million of
contractual interest on these unsecured obligations, which were reported as part
of liabilities subject to compromise, was not reflected in the quarter ended
March 31, 1997.

</TABLE>

The differences between the statutory Federal income tax rate and Metallurg's
effective rate result primarily because of: (i) the excess of foreign tax rates
over the statutory Federal income tax rate; (ii) certain deductible temporary
differences which, in other circumstances would have generated a deferred tax
benefit, have been fully provided for in a valuation allowance; (iii) the
deferred tax effects of certain tax assets, primarily foreign net operating
losses, for which the benefit had been previously recognized approximating
$(0.1) million and $0.5 million in the quarters ended July 31, 1998 and April
30, 1998, respectively; and (iv) the deferred tax effects of certain deferred
tax assets for which a corresponding credit has been recorded to "Additional
paid-in capital" approximating $1.0 million and $0.9 million in the quarters
ended July 31, 1998 and April 30, 1998, respectively. The deferred tax expenses
referred to in items (iii) and (iv) above will not result in cash payments in
future periods.

Net Income
----------
Net income decreased from $3.7 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1997 to
$1.5 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1998. The decrease resulted
primarily from the merger costs and increased interest expense, partially offset
by increased gross margins, noted above.

                                       19
<PAGE>

Net income was $6.8 million for the first quarter of 1998 compared to $58.0
million for the first quarter of 1997. Included in the 1997 net income is an
extraordinary item of $43.0 million representing the cancellation of debt
resulting from the consummation of Metallurg's Reorganization Plan and a $5.1
million credit representing the effects of revaluing Metallurg's assets and
liabilities under fresh-start reporting. Reorganization expenses for the first
quarter of 1997 were $2.7 million. In March 1998, Metallurg sold its minority
investment in a Luxembourg affiliate and realized a gain of approximately $0.9
million. In the first quarter of 1997, other income included a $2.7 million gain
on the sale of Metallurg's New York office building.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

General
-------
The Company's sources of liquidity include cash from operations and amounts
available under credit facilities. Metallurg believes that these sources are
sufficient to fund the current and anticipated future requirements of working
capital, capital expenditures, pension benefits, potential acquisitions and
environmental expenditures through at least 1999.

In November 1997, Metallurg sold $100 million principal amount of 11% Senior
Notes due 2007, the proceeds of which were used to retire Metallurg's then
existing 12% Senior-Secured Notes (approximately $39.5 million), repay certain
debt of the UK and German subsidiaries (approximately $19.8 million) and to pay
a cash dividend (approximately $20.0 million).
The balance of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

In July 1998, Metallurg Holdings issued Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2007
which yielded gross proceeds of $65.2 million, which proceeds were used, in 
part, to consummate the acquisition of Metallurg, Inc.

At July 31, 1998, the Company had $46.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and
working capital of $176.1 million. Metallurg had $44.4 million in cash and cash
equivalents and working capital of $175.1 million at July 31, 1998, as compared
to $43.0 million and $167.8 million, respectively, at January 31, 1998. For the
first two quarters of 1998, Metallurg generated $8.5 million in cash from
operations and received proceeds of approximately $1.1 million on the sale of
its Luxembourg affiliate. Capital expenditures approximated $7.0 million in the
first two quarters and in February 1998, Metallurg purchased an additional 5%
interest in a Russian magnesium metal producer for approximately $2.0 million.

Credit Facilities and Other Financing Arrangements
--------------------------------------------------

Metallurg, Inc.

Metallurg has a credit facility with certain financial institutions led by
BankBoston, N.A. as agent (the "Revolving Credit Facility") which provides
Metallurg, Shieldalloy and certain of their subsidiaries with up to $50.0
million of financing resources at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate
Base Rate plus 1.0% per annum (the Alternate Base Rate is the greater of the
Base Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%) or (ii) the reserve
adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 2.5% for interest periods of one, two or three
months. The Revolving Credit Facility permits borrowings of up to $50.0 million
for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, up to $30.0
million of which may be used for letters of credit in the U.S. At July 31, 1998,
there were no outstanding loans and $28.3 million of letters of credit
outstanding in the U.S. under the Revolving Credit Facility. On October 20,
1997, BankBoston, N.A., through its Frankfurt office, made available up to DM
20.5 million (approximately $11.3 million) of financing to certain of its German
subsidiaries (the "German Subfacility"), which is guaranteed by Metallurg and
the other U.S. borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility.

In addition, several of the other foreign subsidiaries of Metallurg have credit
facility arrangements with local banking institutions to provide funds for
working capital and general corporate purposes. These local credit



                                       20
<PAGE>

facilities contain restrictions that vary from company to company. At July 31,
1998, there were $0.8 million of outstanding loans under these local credit
facilities.

Metallurg Holdings

Metallurg Holdings is a holding company, and its ability to meet its payment
obligations on the Discount Notes is dependent upon the receipt of dividends and
other distributions from its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Metallurg
Holdings does not have, and may not in the future have, any material assets
other than the common stock of Metallurg. Metallurg, Inc. and its subsidiaries
are parties to various credit agreements, including the Senior Note Indenture
and the Revolving Credit Facility, which impose substantial restrictions on
Metallurg, Inc.'s ability to pay dividends to Metallurg Holdings.


Capital Expenditures

Metallurg invested $7.0 million in capital expenditures during the first two
quarters of 1998. Capital expenditures are expected to total approximately $20.0
million in 1998. Although Metallurg has budgeted these items in 1998, Metallurg
has not committed to complete these projects which are contingent on senior
management approval and other conditions. Metallurg believes that these projects
will be funded through internally generated cash, borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Facility and local credit lines.

Environmental Remediation Costs

In 1996, Metallurg elected early adoption of the AICPA Statement of Position
96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities", which among other requirements,
states that losses associated with environmental remediation obligations are
accrued when such losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. Such
accruals generally are recognized no later than the completion of the remedial
feasibility study and are adjusted as further information develops or
circumstances change. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation
obligations are generally not discounted to their present value. During the
first two quarters of 1998, Metallurg expended $1.0 million for environmental
remediation.

As part of the Plan, Shieldalloy entered into settlement agreements with various
environmental regulatory authorities with regard to all of the significant
environmental remediation liabilities of which it is aware. Pursuant to these
agreements, Shieldalloy has agreed to perform environmental remediation which,
as of July 31, 1998, had an estimated cost of completion of $38.9 million. Of
this amount, approximately $2.9 million is expected to be expended in the second
half of 1998, $4.3 million in 1999 and $8.1 million in 2000. In addition,
Metallurg estimates it will make expenditures of $5.0 million with respect to
environmental remediation at its foreign facilities. Of this amount,
approximately $0.5 million is expected to be expended in the second half of
1998, $0.7 million in 1999 and $0.7 million in 2000.


Year 2000 Compliance

Metallurg has completed an internal review of its and its subsidiaries'
information technology systems in connection with its assessment of Year 2000
compliance. Metallurg is in the process of replacing or modifying some of the
management and accounting systems at its subsidiaries to upgrade them generally
and to make them Year 2000 compliant. Metallurg expects to spend between $1.0
million and $2.0 million on these systems changes. Metallurg expects that the
information technology systems for all of its subsidiaries will be Year 2000
compliant by March 31, 1999. Metallurg is currently assessing whether any of its
non-information technology will need to be modified to become Year 2000
compliant.

Metallurg has not received written assurances from its significant suppliers and
customers to determine the state of their readiness with regard to Year 2000
compliance. Metallurg believes that they will be prepared for Year 2000 



                                       21
<PAGE>

based on Metallurg's normal interactions with its customers and suppliers and
because of the wide attention which the issue has received. Metallurg has not
yet seen the need for contingency plans for the Year 2000 issue, but this need
will continue to be monitored as Metallurg obtains more information about the
state of readiness of its suppliers and customers.

Metallurg presently believes that the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant
operational problems for its business systems. However, if any needed
modifications and conversions were not made, or were not completed timely, the
Year 2000 issue could have an adverse impact on Metallurg's operations and
liquidity. If any of Metallurg's suppliers or customers do not, or if Metallurg
itself does not, successfully deal with the Year 2000 issue, Metallurg could
experience delays in receiving or shipping products and in receiving payments.
The severity of these possible problems would depend on the nature of the
problem and how quickly it could be corrected or an alternative implemented,
which is unknown at this time.

The anticipated costs for Metallurg to become Year 2000 compliant and the
anticipated timing for Metallurg to complete the Year 2000 modifications are
based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous
assumptions of future events, including timely performance by third parties who
will provide Metallurg with the software for its new systems. However, there can
be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could
differ materially from those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such
material differences include, but are not limited to, the ability to locate and
correct all relevant computer codes, the ability to successfully integrate new
business systems with existing operations and similar uncertainties. Some risks
