             METALLURG HOLDINGS, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

         NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Going Concern

      In its annual report on Form 10-K dated December 31, 2003 and in its
quarterly report on Form 10-Q dated March 31, 2004, Metallurg Holdings, Inc.
("Metallurg Holdings") and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") disclosed factors that might have precluded the Company from
continuing as a going concern. On August 13, 2004, the Company entered into a
new financing agreement to replace the existing facility with Fleet National
Bank and new term loans that provide additional liquidity for working capital
purposes and to fund its interest payments on its $121 million of 12 3/4% Senior
Discount Notes due 2008 (the "Senior Discount Notes") due July 15, 2004, and
subject to certain conditions, the interest payment due January 15, 2005. See
"Note 13. Subsequent Events". The Company believes that the new facility, along
with anticipated improved operating results as a result of recent restructuring
efforts, will provide adequate liquidity for the Company to meet its obligations
as they come due through the second quarter of 2005. At this time, Metallurg
Holdings does not have access to sufficient funds to make the interest payment
due July 15, 2005 on its Senior Discount Notes. It is anticipated that Metallurg
Holdings will pursue alternative transactions to meet such interest payment
obligations. No assurances can be given that such a transaction can be
completed.

      In addition, on August 12, 2004, a related party bought a $1,077,000 note
from Metallurg Holdings with the proceeds of the interest payment due to them on
July 15, 2004 as a holder of Senior Discount Notes. This note will be classified
as long-term debt and is payable on July 15, 2008 along with interest accrued at
12 3/4% per annum.

2. Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Metallurg Holdings. These financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28.
Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December
31, 2003 was derived from audited 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. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included
in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2003.

      The Company is wholly owned by a group of investors led by and including
Safeguard International Fund, L.P. ("Safeguard International"), an international
private equity fund that invests primarily in equity securities of companies in
process industries.

      Metallurg Holdings' balance sheet is comprised primarily of its investment
in Metallurg, Inc. and its Senior Discount Notes.

      The Company has restated its financial statements for the prior period to
reflect a new reporting entity that excludes certain subsidiaries sold to
related parties on September 30, 2003.

      On March 8, 2004, the Company completed the sale of its South African
sales office to a group of investors, including local management. Accordingly,
the operating results for this entity have been reported as discontinued
operations for all periods presented. See "Note 4. Discontinued Operations".

      Earnings per share is not presented since Metallurg Holdings is wholly
owned by a group of private investors led by and including Safeguard
International.

3. Stock-Based Compensation

      Metallurg accounts for its stock-based compensation plan using the
intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations.
Accordingly, no compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options
granted under this plan had an exercise price at least equal to the estimated
market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following
table illustrates the effect on net income of the Company if Metallurg had
applied the fair value measurement and recognition methods prescribed by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" to record expense for stock option compensation (in
thousands):

sales office to a group of investors, including local management, for a total
purchase price of $9,100,000 and recorded a loss of $1,162,000. In connection
with the sale, the Company accepted a note receivable for $1,370,000 from the
buyers, to be repaid in three equal installments plus interest at LIBOR plus 1%
over two years. The consolidated financial statements have been restated to
reflect the discontinued operation for all periods presented. The following

5. Segments and Related Information

      The Company operates in one significant industry segment, the manufacture
and sale of performance-enhancing additives mainly for the metallurgical
industry. The Company is organized around its major production facilities in the
U.K., the U.S. and Brazil. In addition to its own products, the Company
distributes complementary products manufactured by third parties.

Reportable Segments

      London & Scandinavian Metallurgical Co Limited and its subsidiaries
(collectively, "LSM") - This unit is comprised mainly of three production
facilities in the U.K. and another in Norway which manufacture and sell aluminum
alloy grain refiners and alloying tablets for the aluminum industry, chromium
metal and specialty ferroalloys for the steel and superalloy industries and
aluminum powder for various metal powder-consuming industries. As a result of
continuing weakness in operating performance, LSM commenced a restructuring
program in the second half of 2003. LSM discontinued its metal catalyst business
in the fourth quarter of 2003 and announced the closure of its Norwegian
production facility in 2004. See Note 6. "Restructuring and Asset Impairment
Charges".

      Shieldalloy Metallurgical Corporation ("SMC") - This unit is comprised of
two production facilities in the U.S. The Ohio plant manufactures and sells
ferrovanadium and vanadium-based chemicals used mostly in the steel and
petrochemical industries. The New Jersey plant manufactures and sells alloying
tablets for the aluminum industry and metal powders for the welding industry.

      Companhia Industrial Fluminense ("CIF") - This unit is comprised mainly of
two production facilities in Brazil. The Sao Joao del Rei plant manufactures and
sells aluminum alloy grain refiners and alloying tablets for the aluminum
industry and metal oxides used in the telecommunications, superalloy and
specialty metal industries. The Nazareno mine extracts and concentrates ores
containing tantalum and niobium that are processed, along with other raw
materials, into metal oxides at the Sao Joao del Rei plant.

      In addition to their manufacturing operations, LSM and SMC import and
distribute complementary products manufactured by affiliates and third parties.

      Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable
segments is shown in the following table (in thousands). Each segment records
direct expenses related to its employees and operations. The "Other" column
includes corporate-related items and results of subsidiaries not meeting the
quantitative thresholds as prescribed by applicable accounting rules for
determining reportable segments. The Company does not allocate general corporate
overhead expenses to operating segments. The accounting policies of the segments
are the same as those for the consolidated group. Transactions among segments
are established based on negotiation among the parties.

6.  Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

      In 2003, due to continuing weakness in operating performance, particularly
in its metal catalyst and aluminum businesses, LSM recorded a restructuring
charge of $10,358,000, consisting of (i) $3,652,000 of severance costs for 62
employees, (ii) asset impairment charges of $6,706,000 relating to its metal
catalyst business and its production facilities in Norway. An additional amount
of $219,000 was recorded in 2004 for the severance costs of an additional four
employees. In 2004, LSM announced a restructuring at its aluminum powder
division. Eleven employees were terminated and $97,000 was recorded as
restructuring expense. Also in 2004, LSM announced the closure of its aluminum
production facility in Norway. At this facility, 28 employees were terminated
and severance costs of $291,000 were recorded as restructuring expense. An
additional nine employees are expected to be terminated in the third quarter at

6. Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges - (Continued)

      In a continuing effort to improve Metallurg's competitive position and to
reduce costs, a plan was implemented in the third quarter of 2003 to consolidate
sales and administrative functions performed by Metallurg's Canadian operations
into the New Jersey operations of SMC. As a result of this plan, Metallurg's
Canadian subsidiary recognized a restructuring charge of $417,000 for severance
costs of seven employees. Of this amount, $407,000 has been paid through June
30, 2004 and the remaining $10,000 has been reversed as a change in estimate.

      Also in 2003, Metallurg transferred certain sales and administrative
functions for tantalum and niobium products from its headquarters location to
its production facilities in Brazil. As a result, severance costs of $120,000
for two employees were recorded at December 31, 2003. The entire amount has been
paid through June 30, 2004.

      In 2002, Metallurg, Inc. recorded a restructuring charge of $1,989,000 for
severance costs of nine employees terminated during the year at its headquarters
location. Under the terms of certain executive employment and severance
agreements, the severance was to be paid over a period of up to 18 months. Of
this amount, $1,975,000 has been paid through June 30, 2004.

      A summary of the restructuring and asset impairment charges is as follows

adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows in the future.

11. Related Party Transactions

      On January 15, 2004, a related party bought a $1,077,000 note from
Metallurg Holdings with the proceeds of the interest payment due to them as a
holder of Senior Discount Notes. This note is classified as long-term debt and
is payable on July 15, 2008 along with interest accrued at 12 3/4% per annum.

      During February 2004, SMC was awarded a five-year supply contract by
Comision Federal de Electricidad, the national electric utility company of
Mexico, for vanadium-containing raw materials for its Cambridge, Ohio plant. The
terms of the contract required an upfront payment of approximately $9 million.
Safeguard International, for its own account and for the accounts of others, and
SCP Private Equity Partners, L.P., another shareholder of Metallurg Holdings,
provided an $8 million subordinated loan so that SMC could complete the
purchase. The loan bears interest at 8% and is collateralized by a second lien
on all of the assets of the Borrowers and Guarantors under the Revolving Credit
Facility.

13. Subsequent Events

      On August 13, 2004, Metallurg Holdings and Metallurg, Inc. entered into a
financing agreement maturing on August 31, 2007 with MHR Institutional Partners
II LP, as agent ("MHR"). This financing agreement, described below, replaces the
existing facility with Fleet National Bank that would have otherwise expired on
October 29, 2004. The financing agreement also requires Metallurg to maintain
a minimum borrowing base and achieve minimum Consolidated EBITDA, as defined.

      Facility A with Metallurg - This financing agreement initially provides
Metallurg, Inc. a $10 million term loan for working capital and an approximately
$21 million credit facility either to support existing letters of credit issued
by Fleet National Bank or to provide new letters of credit to collateralize
SMC's environmental remediation obligations. Metallurg is also negotiating with
TRC Companies, Inc. ("TRC") and the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection for TRC to assume approximately $15 million of Metallurg's
environmental liabilities and indemnify Metallurg of such liabilities. The new
financing agreement provides that, upon completion of this agreement with TRC,
MHR will provide Metallurg with a second term loan in the amount of $15 million
and reduce the credit facility for letters of credit to $6 million. Total
transaction costs, including commitment and closing fees paid to MHR of $2.7
million, will be capitalized and amortized over three years, along with other
transaction costs. Interest will accrue at a rate of 20% per annum on all
outstanding balances, of which one-half will be paid in cash monthly in arrears
and one-half will be paid-in-kind by being added to the outstanding principal
balances on a monthly basis. In addition, Metallurg will pay MHR a monthly
letter of credit commitment fee of 4% per annum on all outstanding letters of
credit, a facility maintenance fee of $620,000 on December 31, 2004 and $310,000
on each June 30th and December 31st thereafter, and a monthly monitoring fee of
$40,000 in 2004, $30,000 in 2005 and $20,000 thereafter. Mandatory quarterly
repayments begin on October 1, 2005 in the amount of $1,000,000 and voluntary
repayments may be made beginning July 31, 2005 along with prepayment penalties.
Facility A is fully guaranteed by all of the assets of Metallurg, Inc., SMC,
Metallurg Holdings Corporation, Metallurg International Resources, LLC and
Metallurg Services, Inc., and partially guaranteed by Metallurg, Inc.'s major
subsidiaries in the U.K. and Brazil.

      Facility B with Metallurg Holdings - The financing agreement also provides
Metallurg Holdings with two term loans. The first term loan in the amount of
$1,675,000 was made on the closing date to be used to pay interest owed as of
July 15, 2004 on the Senior Discount Notes. An additional amount of $1,600,000
reduced by dividends paid by Metallurg to Metallurg Holdings, up to a maximum of
$787,500, will be made by January 15, 2005 to pay a portion of the interest due
on that date on the Senior Discount Notes. At the closing of the financing
agreement, Metallurg Holdings paid MHR total transaction fees of $75,000 that
will be capitalized and amortized over three years. An additional fee of $37,500
will be made upon the funding of the second term loan and will be amortized over
2 1/2 years. Interest will accrue at a rate of 20% per annum on all outstanding
balances will be paid-in-kind by being added to the outstanding principal
balances on a monthly basis. In addition, Metallurg Holdings will pay MHR a
facility maintenance fee of $49,250 on December 31, 2004 and $24,625 on each
June 30th and December 31st thereafter. This fee will be paid-in-kind by being
added to the outstanding principal balances on a monthly basis. Facility B is
fully guaranteed by all of the assets of Metallurg, Inc.

      As an additional requirement of the new financing agreement, the terms of
the $8 million subordinated loan, provided in February 2004 by related parties,
were amended. Principal payments have been deferred until such time as all
amounts under the new financing agreement have been repaid in full, and interest
on the loan is now paid-in-kind and added to the principal balance.

      In addition, on August 12, 2004, a related party bought a $1,077,000 note
from Metallurg Holdings with the proceeds of the interest payment due to them on
July 15, 2004 as a holder of Senior Discount Notes. This note will be classified
as long-term debt and is payable on July 15, 2008 along with interest accrued at
12 3/4% per annum.

    ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Certain matters discussed under the caption "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
statements may be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expect",
"believe", "should", "could", "anticipate", "intend" and other expressions that
indicate future events or trends. All statements that address expectations or
projections about the future, including statements about the Company's strategy
for growth, product development, market position, expenditures and financial
results are forward-looking statements and as such may involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,
performance and achievements of the Company to be materially different from
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.

      Factors that may cause the Company's results to be materially different
include:

     - The cyclical nature of the Company's business.

     - The Company's dependence on foreign customers. The Company operates
       throughout the world and derives a significant amount of its revenues
       from outside of the U.S.

     - The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates and foreign trade
       regulations on the Company's competitive standing. Revenues and earnings
       from outside the U.S. could be materially affected by exchange rate
       fluctuations.

     - The ability to complete a refinancing of the financing agreement with MHR
       or otherwise complete a restructuring of its balance sheet, in either
       case on favorable terms, if at all.

     - The ability to meet debt service requirements.

     - The availability of raw materials, particularly vanadium-containing
       materials. See "Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties - Limited Sources
       for Raw Materials".

     - The impact of worldwide competition.

     - The economic strength of the Company's markets generally and particularly
       the strength of the demand for aluminum, superalloys, titanium alloys,
       iron and steel in those markets.

     - The impact of changes in technology and methods of marketing.

     - The accuracy of the Company's estimates of the costs of environmental
       remediation.

     - The extension or expiration of existing anti-dumping duties. See "Items 1
       and 2. Business and Properties - Anti-Dumping Duties".

     - The performance of world financial markets and the resulting effect on
       pension expense of the Company's defined benefit plans.

     - The possible disruption of business or increases in the cost of doing
       business resulting from terrorist activities or global conflicts.

      The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.

Critical Accounting Estimates

      For a discussion of the critical accounting estimates affecting the
Company, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Critical Accounting Estimates" beginning
on page 24 of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003. The critical accounting estimates affecting the Company have
not changed since December 31, 2003.

Overview

      The Company is a leading international producer and seller of high-quality
specialty metals and metal alloys that are essential to the production of
high-performance aluminum and titanium alloys, specialty steels, superalloys and
certain non-metallic materials for various applications in the aerospace, power
supply, automotive, petrochemical processing, capital equipment and construction
industries. The Company operates production facilities in the U.K., the U.S. and
Brazil. The Company's products are primarily sold to one of three major market
sectors: the aluminum industry, the steel industry and the superalloy industry.

      Overall operating conditions in each of these sectors have remained very
challenging over the past few years with significant pressure on prices caused
by increased competition, lower overall demand from customers and lackluster
economic conditions worldwide. These difficult business conditions persisted
throughout most of 2003. Demand started to show signs of improvement in the
fourth quarter of 2003 and continued to improve during the first half of 2004
due to higher economic activity in Europe, the Americas and especially Asia.
Additionally, a decline in the U.S. dollar caused prices for some of our
products to rise as foreign competitors increased prices to offset the negative
effect of the currency movement. While we cannot predict demand or prices in the
markets we serve, this discussion presents a general overview of each of our
major market sectors:

      Demand from the aluminum market continues to rebound from the low levels
experienced early last year, coinciding with increased global economic activity.
On the supply side, there still exists a significant amount of excess, as well
as idle, capacity in the industry. While prices for aluminum continued to
increase in 2004, our main products - aluminum master alloys and compacted
products - continue to be subject to pricing pressure, primarily due to
overcapacity. Continuing consolidation in the aluminum industry also has
contributed to the pressure on prices for our products. These same conditions
are expected to continue throughout 2004, as the industry still faces
overcapacity and significant price competition. During 2004, the Company started
the closure process of its master alloy facility in Norway (Hydelko) to reduce
excess capacity in the industry and expects to be completed with this process in
the third quarter. Customers will continue to be served from our facilities in
the U.K. and Brazil. The Company continues to implement cost reduction
initiatives to offset price declines.

      The domestic steel industry continues to operate at moderately high levels
of production. Industry fundamentals for the steel sector have improved from the
difficult conditions seen over the past few years, particularly as a result of
the consolidation of a number of producers within the industry and the weak U.S.
dollar. During 2003, fundamentals in the ferrovanadium market have changed as
several producers closed operations due to very low pricing over the past few
years. Due to a shortage of raw materials, the Company was forced to
significantly cut production rates at its processing facility in Ohio, adding to
a lack of ferrovanadium units in North America. Also, a labor strike at this
facility during the second half of the year impacted overall production rates.
Demand for ferrovanadium has recently improved, driven in part by increased
demand for ferrovanadium-containing steels in Chinese construction applications.
The global supply/demand outlook for ferrovanadium has changed, with Asia
expected to become a net importer of material instead of a net exporter. As a
result, prices for ferrovanadium steadily increased in 2003 and 2004 to levels
not seen since the mid 1990's. In the first quarter of 2004, the Company was
successful in securing a significant source of raw materials to lower production
costs and enhance profitability. In April 2004, the labor strike affecting the
ferrovanadium production facility in Cambridge, Ohio was settled with the
ratification of a new three-year contract. Management expects that the effects
of securing new raw materials and settling the labor strike should enhance
profitability during 2004.

      The superalloy industry continued to be impacted by the downturn in the
commercial aerospace industry, as well as a reduction in power generation
projects and services (i.e., land-based turbines). Commercial production rates
for the aerospace industry are well below historical averages, especially in the
U.S., but appear likely to rebound as new orders have increased on year-to-year
basis. Due to the long lead times in this market, excess inventory has been a
factor leading to low prices and volumes for products supplied to this industry.
During the first half of 2004, prices for titanium and chrome products increased
significantly due to perceived supply shortages and higher worldwide demand for
these metals.

      On August 13, 2004, the Company entered into a new financing agreement to
replace the existing facility with Fleet National Bank, to provide additional
working capital and to pay outstanding interest on its Senior Discount Notes.
The Company believes that the new financing agreement, along with anticipated
improved operations after recent restructuring efforts, will provide adequate
liquidity for the Company to meet its obligations as they come due through the
second quarter of 2005. At this time Metallurg Holdings does not have access to
sufficient funds to make the interest payment due July 15, 2005 on its Senior
Discount Notes. It is anticipated that Metallurg Holdings will pursue
alternative transactions to meet such interest payment obligations. No
assurances can be given that such a transaction can be completed.

      During 2003 and continuing in 2004, the Company continued to restructure
its businesses. The Company took action to reduce costs at LSM through employee
terminations and discontinuing unprofitable businesses, and in North America by
consolidating sales offices. In September 2003, the Company sold all of its
interests in its German facility engaged in the manufacture of low carbon
ferrochrome, and its Turkish chrome ore mines. In December 2003, the Company
reached an agreement to sell its South African sales office. This sale was
completed in March 2004. See "Note 4. Discontinued Operation" to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements.

</TABLE>

      The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate and
Metallurg's effective rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, is principally
due to: (i) certain deductible temporary differences, principally domestic net
operating losses, which in other circumstances would have generated a deferred
tax benefit, have been fully provided for in a valuation allowance; (ii) taxes
paid on foreign dividends; and (iii) the excess of foreign tax rates over the
statutory federal income tax rate.

Net Loss

      The Company had a net loss of $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2004 compared to a net loss of $5.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

</TABLE>

      The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate and
Metallurg's effective rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 is principally
due to: (i) certain deductible temporary differences, principally domestic net
operating losses, which in other circumstances would have generated a deferred
tax benefit, have been fully provided for in a valuation allowance; (ii) taxes
paid on foreign dividends; and (iii) the excess of foreign tax rates over the
statutory federal income tax rate.

Net Loss

      The Company had a net loss of $7.7 million for the two quarters ended June
30, 2004 compared to a net loss of $9.6 million for the two quarters ended June
30, 2003. The net loss also included income from discontinued operations of $0.3
million and $1.1 million for the two quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
respectively and a loss on sale of discontinued operations of $1.2 million in
the two quarters ended June 30, 2004. See "Note 4. Discontinued Operations" to
the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

General

      The Company's sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, cash
from operations and amounts available under credit facilities. At June 30, 2004,
the Company had $4.3 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and
working capital of $61.0 million as compared to $18.6 million and $63.4 million,
respectively, at December 31, 2003.

Cash Flow Information

      Cash Flows from Operating Activities - Cash used in operating activities
was $30.1 million for the two quarters ended June 30, 2004 compared to $13.0
million for the two quarters ended June 30, 2003. In 2004, the net loss, an
increase in working capital and increased payments for environmental and
restructuring charges contributed to the cash used in operating activities.

      Cash Flows from Investing Activities - Net cash provided by investing
activities was $6.2 million for the two quarters ended June 30, 2004, compared
to net cash used by investing activities of $0.9 million for the two quarters

operations was $8.3 million in the two quarters ended June 30, 2004.

      Cash Flows from Financing Activities - Cash provided by financing
activities was $9.5 million for the two quarters ended June 30, 2004, compared
to $1.7 million for the two quarters ended June 30, 2003. The Company received a
loan of $8.0 million from related parties to facilitate the purchase of raw
material for the vanadium plant in the two quarters ended June 30, 2004 and an
additional $7.7 million was used to increase working capital during 2004. These
borrowings are offset by cash deposited to collateralize the Revolving Credit
Facility.

Credit Facilities and Other Financing Arrangements

      Revolving Credit Facility - Metallurg, Inc., SMC and certain of Metallurg,
Inc.'s other subsidiaries (the "Borrowers") have a credit facility with certain
financial institutions led by Fleet National Bank as agent (the "Revolving
Credit Facility"), which expires in October 2004. This facility, as amended in
October 2003 and in January 2004, provides the Borrowers with up to $27.0
million for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes.
Interest is charged at a rate per annum equal to (i) LIBOR, plus 2.0% - 3.5% or
(ii) Prime, plus up to 1.0%, based on the performance of Metallurg, Inc. and
certain of its subsidiaries (the "North American Group"), as defined in the
Revolving Credit Facility. Interest rates on amounts borrowed are adjusted
quarterly, based on the North American Group's fixed charge coverage ratio. The
Borrowers are required to pay a fee of 0.25% - 0.50% per annum on the unused
portion of the facility. The total amount the Borrowers may borrow at any time
is limited to a borrowing base calculation that is based on eligible accounts
receivable, inventory and special cash collateral, as defined. On January 14,
2004, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended and the minimum liquidity
covenant was eliminated. In its place, Metallurg was required to deposit a total
of $7.0 million into a restricted cash account as additional security for the
Revolving Credit Facility. At June 30, 2004, there were $3.0 million of
borrowings under this facility and outstanding letters of credit of $20.8
million. In addition, the Borrowers had unused borrowing capacity of $2.9
million under this facility.

      MHR Credit Facility - On August 13, 2004, the Company refinanced the
Revolving Credit Facility into a new financing agreement with MHR maturing on
August 31, 2007. Facility A, under the financing agreement, initially provides
Metallurg, Inc. a $10 million term loan for working capital and an approximately
$21 million credit facility either to support existing letters of credit issued
by Fleet National Bank or to provide new letters of credit to collateralize
SMC's environmental remediation obligations. Metallurg is also negotiating with
TRC and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for TRC to assume
approximately $15 million of Metallurg's environmental liabilities and indemnify
Metallurg of such liabilities. The new financing agreement provides that upon
completion of this agreement with TRC, MHR will provide Metallurg with a second
term loan in the amount of $15 million and reduce the credit facility for
letters of credit to $6 million. Interest will accrue at a rate of 20% per annum
on all outstanding balances of which one-half will be paid monthly in arrears
and one-half will be paid-in-kind by being added to the outstanding principal
balances on a monthly basis. In addition, Metallurg will pay MHR a monthly
letter of credit commitment fee of 4% per annum on all outstanding letters of
credit, a facility maintenance fee of $620,000 on December 31, 2004 and $310,000
on each June 30th and December 31st thereafter, and a monthly monitoring fee of
$40,000 in 2004, $30,000 in 2005 and $20,000 thereafter. Mandatory quarterly
repayments begin on October 1, 2005 in the amount of $1,000,000 and voluntary
repayments may be made beginning July 31, 2005 along with prepayment penalties.
Facility A is fully guaranteed by all of the assets of Metallurg, Inc., SMC,
Metallurg Holdings Corporation, Metallurg International Resources, LLC and
Metallurg Services, Inc., and partially guaranteed by Metallurg, Inc.'s major
subsidiaries in the U.K. and Brazil. Facility B, under the financing agreement,
provides Metallurg Holdings with two term loans. The first term loan in the
amount of $1,675,000 was made on the closing date to be used to pay interest
owed as of July 15, 2004 on its Senior Discount Notes. An additional amount of
$1,600,000 reduced by dividends paid by Metallurg to Metallurg Holdings, up to
a maximum of $787,500, will be made, subject to certain conditions, by
January 15, 2005 to pay a portion of the interest due on that date on its Senior
Discount Notes. Interest will accrue at a rate of 20% per annum on all
outstanding balances will be paid-in-kind by being added to the outstanding
principal balances on a monthly basis. In addition, Metallurg Holdings will pay
MHR a facility maintenance fee of $49,250 on December 31, 2004 and $24,625 on
each June 30th and December 31st thereafter. This fee will be paid-in-kind by
being added to the outstanding principal balances on a monthly basis. Total
transaction costs, including commitment and closing fees paid to MHR of $2.7
million, will be capitalized and amortized over three years along with other
transaction costs. An additional fee of $37,500 will be made upon the funding of
the second term loan and will be amortized over 2 1/2 years. Facility B is
guaranteed by all of the assets of Metallurg, Inc. The financing agreement also
requires Metallurg to maintain a minimum borrowing base and achieve minimum
Consolidated EBITDA, as defined. The Company anticipates that it will seek to
refinance these facilities on more favorable terms provided its operating
results continue to improve and such financing is available.

      LSM Revolving Credit Facilities - LSM has revolving credit facilities with
Barclays Bank plc ("Barclays") and HSBC Bank plc ("HSBC"). These facilities
provide LSM with up to 'L'5.5 million ($9.9 million) of borrowings,
'L'40.3 million ($72.8 million) of foreign exchange contracts and options
and 'L'4.0 million ($7.2 million) for other ancillary banking arrangements,
including bank guarantees. Borrowings under these facilities are secured by the
assets of LSM and are repayable on demand. Outstanding loans under these
facilities bear interest at rates of LIBOR plus 1.5% to 1.75%. At June 30, 2004,
there were no borrowings under these facilities. LSM's Norwegian subsidiary has
an unsecured overdraft facility of NOK 15.0 million ($2.2 million). Borrowings
under this facility bear interest at a rate of NIBOR plus 1.25%. At June 30,
2004, there was approximately $1.8 million outstanding under this facility.

      Other - CIF maintains short-term secured and unsecured borrowing
arrangements with various banks with interest rates ranging from 6.5% per annum
to 22.8% per annum. Borrowings under these arrangements totaled $6.6 million at
June 30, 2004.

Capital Expenditures

      Metallurg invested $0.8 million in capital projects during the two
quarters ended June 30, 2004. Metallurg's capital expenditures include projects
related to improving Metallurg's operations, productivity improvements,
replacement projects and ongoing environmental requirements (which are in
addition to expenditures discussed in "Environmental Remediation Costs" below).
Capital expenditures are projected to total approximately $4.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004, approximately half of which Metallurg believes
will result in decreased costs of production, improved efficiency and expanded
production capacities. The remaining planned capital expenditures are primarily
for replacement and repairs of existing facilities. Although Metallurg has
projected these items for the year ended December 31, 2004, Metallurg has not
committed purchases to vendors for all of these projects, as some projects
remain contingent on final approvals and other conditions and the actual timing
of expenditures may extend into 2005. Metallurg believes that these projects
will be funded through existing and future internally generated cash and credit
lines.

Environmental Remediation Costs

      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 two
quarters ended June 30, 2004, Metallurg spent $1.6 million for environmental
remediation.

      In 1997, SMC entered into settlement agreements with various environmental
regulatory authorities with regard to all of the significant environmental
remediation liabilities of which it was aware. Pursuant to these agreements, SMC
has agreed to perform environmental remediation, which, as of June 30, 2004, had
an estimated net cost of completion of $24.0 million. Of this amount, Metallurg
expects to spend $18.7 million (including the TRC transaction discussed above)
in the remaining two quarters of 2004 and $0.6 million in 2005. These amounts
have been accrued for in prior years and are reflected in Metallurg's balance
sheet liabilities.

      While its remediation obligations and other environmental costs, in the
aggregate, will reduce its liquidity, Metallurg believes its cash balances, cash
from operations and cash available under its credit facilities are sufficient to
fund its current and anticipated future requirements for environmental
expenditures.
