                   NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Metallurg Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed on June 10,
1998 and is 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. On July 13, 1998, Metallurg Holdings, Inc. acquired Metallurg, Inc.
(the "Merger").

     The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Metallurg Holdings, Inc. ("Metallurg Holdings"),
Metallurg, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries ("Metallurg") (collectively,
the "Company"). 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. The condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 1999 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.

     For further information, see the financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended January 31, 1999.

     Metallurg Holdings and Metallurg, Inc. both report on a fiscal year ending
January 31. The operating subsidiaries of Metallurg, Inc. report on a calendar
year ending December 31. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of
Metallurg Holdings in 1999 include the accounts of Metallurg Holdings and
Metallurg, Inc. for the quarter and the two quarters ended July 31, 1999 and of
Metallurg, Inc.'s operating subsidiaries for the quarter and the two quarters
ended June 30, 1999. The consolidated financial statements of Metallurg Holdings
in 1998 include (i) the results of Metallurg Holdings from its inception (June
10, 1998) to July 31, 1998 (a loss of $653,000) and (ii) the results of
Metallurg, Inc., the holding company, for the period subsequent to the Merger (a
loss of $1,167,000). Accordingly, the results of Metallurg's operating
subsidiaries are not included in these 1998 results. Balance sheet data at July
31, 1999 reflect the financial position of Metallurg Holdings and Metallurg,
Inc. at July 31, 1999 and of Metallurg, Inc.'s operating subsidiaries at June
30, 1999. Balance sheet data at January 31, 1999 reflect the financial position

3. 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 position, results of operations or liquidity. There can
be no assurance, however, that existing or future litigation will not result in
an adverse judgment against the Company which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's future results of operations or cash flows.

4. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

     Earnings per share is not presented since 100% of the capital stock of the
Company is owned by a group of private investors led by and including Safeguard
International.

5. ACQUISITION TRANSACTIONS

     On July 13, 1998, Metallurg was acquired by a group of investors led by
Safeguard International. The acquisition was accomplished by Metallurg
Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Metallurg Holdings, merging with
and into Metallurg, with Metallurg being the surviving company and Metallurg
Holdings becoming the sole parent of Metallurg. Metallurg Holdings was formed on
June 10, 1998 and is owned by Safeguard International (an international private
equity fund that invests primarily in equity securities of companies in process
industries), certain limited partners of Safeguard International, certain
individuals and a private equity fund.

     At the time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Metallurg common
stock, par value $.01 per share, was converted into the right to receive $30 in
cash, representing an aggregate cash price of approximately $152,200,000
(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
$300,000,000. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of
the net assets acquired was approximately $101,500,000 and is being amortized
over a period of 20 years. The purchase price allocation is subject to
finalization in 1999.

     In order to finance the Merger, (i) Safeguard International and certain of
its limited partners contributed approximately $97,000,000 of capital to
Metallurg Holdings (the "Equity Contribution"); and (ii) Metallurg Holdings
received approximately $62,900,000 net proceeds upon consummation of the
offering (the "Offering") of $121,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity
of 12 3/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2008 (the "Discount Notes"). 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
"Consents 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".

     Merger-related costs of $4,416,000 were incurred, and recorded as expense
by Metallurg, in the period ended July 31, 1998 and included (i) $3,541,000 for
payments to cancel compensatory stock options; (ii) $625,000 in consent fees
incurred in order to obtain the one-time waiver of the change of control
provisions of the Senior Note Indenture and (iii) $250,000 of other
merger-related costs. Metallurg was reimbursed for the compensatory stock option
cancellation costs of $3,541,000 by a capital contribution from Safeguard
International at the time of the Merger, which amount is included in Metallurg
Holdings' acquisition cost. Accordingly, Metallurg Holdings recognized the
balance of such costs, totaling $875,000, in the post-Merger period ended July
31, 1998. Additional merger-related costs of $3,472,000 were incurred and
recorded as expense by Metallurg in the year ended January 31, 1999.

6. PRO FORMA RESULTS (UNAUDITED)

     The pro forma information presented below is based upon the historical
financial statements of the Company included elsewhere herein. The pro forma
information illustrate the estimated effects of (i) the issuance of the 12 3/4%
Senior Discount Notes of Metallurg Holdings due 2008 and (ii) the Merger and the
transactions related thereto (collectively, the "Pro Forma Transactions"), as if
these transactions had occurred as of January 31, 1998.

</TABLE>

     The pro forma financial information 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,
July 13, 1998. The cost of the Merger was allocated on the basis of the
preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
These estimates are being finalized in 1999.

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

7. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("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, 2000. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 133
will have on its financial statements.

8. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

     In November 1997, Metallurg, Inc. issued $100 million principal amount of
its 11% Senior Notes due 2007. Under the terms of the Senior Notes, Shieldalloy
Metallurgical Corporation ("Shieldalloy"), Metallurg Holdings Corporation,
Metallurg Services, Inc., Metallurg International Resources, Inc. ("MIR, Inc.")
and MIR (China), Inc. (collectively, the "Guarantors"), wholly owned
subsidiaries of Metallurg, Inc. have fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a
joint and several basis Metallurg, Inc.'s obligations to pay principal, premium
and interest relative to the Senior Notes. During the second quarter of 1999,
Metallurg, Inc. established MIR, Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary and a
guarantor of the Senior Notes. Certain commercial activities previously carried
out by Metallurg, Inc. are now being carried out by MIR, Inc. Management has
determined that separate, full financial statements of the Guarantors would not
be material to potential investors and, accordingly, such financial statements
are not provided. Supplemental financial information of the Guarantors is
presented below.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Certain matters discussed under the caption "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Form 10-Q may
constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 which 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 (particularly customers in Europe),
the economic strength of the Company's markets generally and particularly the
strength of the demand for iron, steel, aluminum and superalloys and titanium
alloy industries in those markets, the accuracy of the Company's estimates of
the costs of environmental remediation and the extension or expiration of
existing anti-dumping duties.

OVERVIEW

     Metallurg is a leading international producer and seller of high quality
metal alloys and specialty metals used by manufacturers of steel, aluminum,
superalloys, titanium, chemicals and other metal consuming industries. The
industries that Metallurg supplies are cyclical. Throughout 1997 and into 1998,
market conditions for most of Metallurg's products were favorable. However,
sales prices and demand for several of Metallurg's major products declined
during the second half of 1998 and into 1999. Metallurg believes that the
declines were the result of economic turmoil seen in Asia, Latin America and
Russia in 1997 and 1998. In the steel industry, this led to lower production
almost everywhere except in the U.S. during the first half of 1998. In the
second half of 1998, Japan, Russia, Brazil and some other Asian countries
exported large volumes of steel to the U.S., causing domestic production to be
drastically curtailed in the latter months of 1998. In 1999, domestic steel
production has increased slightly each quarter although total first half
production was about 11% below the prior year. In addition, civilian airliner
production in 1998 did not reach the levels forecast by a major producer, and
the economic turmoil already mentioned caused postponements and cancellation of
orders for airliners as trans-Pacific and Asian air passenger volumes fell
sharply. Furthermore, Asian demand for corrosion resistant materials for capital
projects also fell sharply. These factors contributed to lower sales of products
to the superalloy and titanium alloy industries, which continue to hold
excessive inventories, particularly of their aerospace related products. The
aluminum industry had sustained satisfactory levels of demand for Metallurg's
products throughout 1998, and this has continued in 1999.

METALLURG HOLDINGS' RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     In the quarter ended July 31, 1999, Metallurg Holdings recognized a net
loss of $5.9 million, which includes the consolidation of Metallurg (a loss of
$2.4 million), $2.2 million of interest expense on its Discount Notes and $1.3
million of amortization of acquisition, goodwill and deferred debt issuance
costs. In the two quarters ended July 31, 1999, Metallurg Holdings recognized a
net loss of $18.0 million, which includes the consolidation of Metallurg (a loss
of $10.9 million), $4.4 million of interest expense on its Discount Notes and
$2.7 million of amortization of acquisition, goodwill and deferred issuance
costs.

     In the period June 10, 1998 (inception) to July 31, 1998, Metallurg
Holdings recognized a net loss of $1.8 million, which includes the consolidation
of Metallurg (a loss of $1.2 million), $0.4 million of net interest expense on
its Discount Notes and $0.2 million of amortization of acquisition, goodwill and
deferred issuance costs.

     As Metallurg Holdings is a holding company and does not have any material
operations or assets other than the ownership of Metallurg, the following
discussion of the Company's results of operations relates to Metallurg, unless
otherwise indicated.

</TABLE>

     Total Revenues

     Shieldalloy revenues were $28.4 million, or 50%, below the second quarter
of 1998. As a result of the continuing weakness in the U.S. steel industry,
volume and selling prices of ferrovanadium remained lower in the second quarter
of 1999, resulting in a decrease of approximately $9.2 million. The majority of
the remaining decline is attributable to lower volume and selling prices of
ferrosilicon, chrome metal and low carbon ferrochrome resulting from lower
demand from the steel and superalloy industries.

     Excess superalloy and titanium alloy inventories in the aerospace supply
chain impacted negatively on both price and particularly volume of EWW's
specialty low carbon ferrochrome, LSM's chromium and GfE's vanadium aluminum and
titanium masteralloy products. Continuing weakness in the steel sector
contributed to low prices and volumes of LSM's ferrotitanium, EWW's normal grade
ferrochrome and GfE's ferrovanadium and ferroniobium. As a result, EWW's
revenues fell $4.2 million, or 34%, below the second quarter of 1998 and GfE,
with heavy dependence on the titanium industry, saw revenues fall $14.1 million,
or 40% below the second quarter of 1998. Although LSM's revenues fell by $9.1
million, or 20%, for reasons noted above, volumes for its products to the
aluminum industry remained strong.

     Gross Margins

     Gross margins decreased from $27.3 million in the quarter ended July 31,
1998 to $15.3 million in the quarter ended July 31, 1999, a decrease of 44.1%,
due principally to price and volume decreases in ferrovanadium, low carbon
ferrochrome, vanadium aluminum, ferrotitanium and chromium. In aluminum

                                       16
<PAGE>   18

master alloys and compacted products, improvements in product mix and cost
reductions more than offset a decrease in selling price.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased from $15.1
million in the quarter ended July 31, 1998 to $14.1 million in the quarter ended
July 31, 1999, a decrease of 7.1%. For the quarter ended July 31, 1998, SG&A
represented 8.9% of Metallurg's sales compared to 12.1% for the quarter ended
July 31, 1999, as a result of decreased revenue.

     Environmental Expense Recovery

     In June 1999, Metallurg recognized income in the amount of $5.5 million
upon settlement with an insurance company relating to coverage for certain
environmental claims stemming from the 1960's and forward. These claims relate
mostly to the historical costs of remedial activities at Metallurg's Newfield,
New Jersey site.

     Restructuring Charges

     During the second quarter of 1999, Metallurg initiated a restructuring
program. The restructuring is intended to reduce Metallurg's cost structure,
streamline management and production technical functions and focus resources in
support of higher margin products at core production units. The restructuring
plan includes the discontinuation of certain production activities, termination
of employees, a facility closing and the write-down of certain redundant plant
and equipment and related spare parts and supplies. The restructuring
predominantly affects Metallurg's operations in Europe.

     In June 1999, a charge of $4.4 million was recorded with respect to the
restructuring of Metallurg's German operations (GfE and EWW). Approximately 100
employees were notified of terminations as operations were curtailed in line
with current demands for Metallurg's products. The terminations will take effect
through the end of 2000 and a provision for severance and other employee costs
of $2.9 million was recorded. Such costs shall be substantially disbursed in
2000. Additional costs of $1.5 million were recorded for the write-down of
redundant fixed assets and related spare parts and supplies.

     During July 1999, management approved a restructuring plan relating to its
U.K. operations (LSM). Currently, LSM is soliciting voluntary terminations in
its plan to simplify its organization and reduce costs by restructuring its
businesses into fewer operating divisions and relocating administrative
functions to its Rotherham plant site from its London office, which will be
closed. The restructuring is to be completed during 2000 and provisions for its
costs, which are not determinable at this time, will be recorded during the
second half of 1999.

     Operating Income

     Operating income decreased from $7.8 million in the quarter ended July 31,
1998 to $2.3 million in the quarter ended July 31, 1999, due primarily to the
decrease in gross margin and the other items, discussed above. Merger costs of
$4.4 million, consisting primarily of costs to cancel compensatory stock
options, were recorded in the quarter ended July 31, 1998.

</TABLE>

     The differences between the statutory Federal income tax rate and
Metallurg's effective rate result primarily because of: (i) the U.S. taxability
of foreign dividends; (ii) the excess of foreign tax rates over the statutory
Federal income tax rate; (iii) certain deductible temporary differences which,
in other circumstances would have generated a deferred tax benefit, have been
fully provided for in a valuation allowance; (iv) the deferred tax effects of
certain tax assets, primarily foreign net operating losses, for which the
benefit had been previously recognized approximating $0.3 million in the quarter
ended July 31, 1999; and (v) the deferred tax effects of certain deferred tax
assets for which a corresponding credit has been recorded to "Additional paid-in
capital" approximating $0.2 million in the quarter ended July 31, 1999. The
deferred tax expenses referred to in items (iv) and (v) above will not result in
cash payments in future periods.

     Net Income

     Net income decreased from $1.5 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1998
to a loss of $2.4 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 due primarily to
reduced gross margins and the other items, discussed above.

     Total Revenues

     Shieldalloy revenues were $51.2 million, or 45%, below the first two
quarters of 1998. As a result of continuing weakness in the U.S. steel industry,
decreased volume and selling prices of ferrovanadium during the first two
quarters of 1999 resulted in a decrease of approximately $19 million. The
majority of the remaining decline is attributable to lower volume and selling
prices of ferrosilicon, chrome metal and low carbon ferrochrome resulting from
lower demand from the steel and superalloy industries.

     Weakness in the aerospace industry led to a reduction in superalloy and
titanium alloy demand that impacted negatively on price, and particularly on
volumes, of Metallurg's specialty low carbon ferrochrome, chromium and vanadium
aluminum products. As a result of continuing poor demand in the steel and
aerospace industries, LSM revenues were $20.3 million, or 22%, below the first
two quarters of 1998 due primarily to decreased volume of ferrotitanium and
chromium metal sales. GfE revenues were $22.8 million, or 34%, below 1998 due
primarily to decreased selling prices and volumes of vanadium aluminum, titanium
masteralloys, ferroniobium and ferrovanadium. Revenues of EWW were $10.6
million, or 39%, below the first two quarters of 1998 due primarily to reduced
demand for low carbon ferrochrome.

     Gross Margins

     Gross margins decreased from $56.2 million in the two quarters ended July
31, 1998 to $25.1 million in the two quarters ended July 31, 1999, a decrease of
55.4%, due principally to price and volume decreases in ferrovanadium,
ferrotitanium and chromium. In addition, Shieldalloy recognized a lower of cost
or market adjustment of $3.6 million relating to ferrovanadium in the first
quarter of 1999. In aluminum master alloys and compacted products, improvements
in product mix and cost reductions more than offset a decrease in selling price.
Gross margins of low carbon ferrochrome declined in 1999, resulting from lower
selling prices, volume and less favorable product mix.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     SG&A decreased from $29.9 million in the two quarters ended July 31, 1998
to $28.5 million in the two quarters ended July 31, 1999, a decrease of 4.8%.
For the two quarters ended July 31, 1998, SG&A represented 8.9% of Metallurg's
sales compared to 12.2% for the two quarters ended July 31, 1999, as a result of
decreased revenue.

     Environmental Expense Recovery

     In June 1999, Metallurg recognized income in the amount of $5.5 million
upon settlement, with an insurance company, concerning certain environmental
matters, as discussed above.

     Restructuring Charges

     In June 1999, Metallurg recorded $4.4 million of restructuring charges
related to its German subsidiaries, as discussed above.

     Operating Income

     Operating income decreased from $21.8 million in the two quarters ended
July 31, 1998 to a loss of $2.3 million in the two quarters ended July 31, 1999,
due primarily to the decrease in gross margin and the other items, discussed
above.

     Interest expense increased $1.2 million in the two quarters ended July 31,
1999 reflecting primarily higher effective interest rates and increased external
borrowing levels of GfE during the current period.

</TABLE>

     The differences between the statutory Federal income tax rate and
Metallurg's effective rate result primarily because of: (i) the U.S. taxability
of foreign dividends; (ii) the excess of foreign tax rates over the statutory
Federal income tax rate; (iii) certain deductible temporary differences which,
in other circumstances would have generated a deferred tax benefit, have been
fully provided for in a valuation allowance; (iv) the deferred tax effects of
certain tax assets, primarily foreign net operating losses, for which the
benefit had been previously recognized approximating $0.5 million in the two
quarters ended July 31, 1999; and (v) the deferred tax effects of certain
deferred tax assets for which a corresponding credit has been recorded to
"Additional paid-in capital" approximating $0.5 million in the two quarters
ended July 31, 1999. The deferred tax expenses referred to in items (iv) and (v)
above will not result in cash payments in future periods.

  Net Income

     Net income decreased from $8.3 million for the two quarters ended July 31,
1998 to a loss of $10.9 million for the two quarters ended July 31, 1999. The
decrease in 1999 results primarily from reduced gross margins and the other
items, discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

  General

     The Company's sources of liquidity include cash from operations and amounts
available under credit facilities. The Company 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 January 31, 2001.

     At July 31, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $45.7
million and working capital of $149.7 million. Metallurg had cash and cash
equivalents of $44.6 million and working capital of $148.4 million, as compared
to $37.3 million and $166.2 million, respectively, at January 31, 1999. For the
first two quarters of 1999, the Company generated $13.3 million in cash from
operations including substantial reductions in inventories resulting from
reduced levels of business and increased operational focus on working capital
reductions. Capital expenditures approximated $5.1 million in the first two
quarters of 1999.

  Credit Facilities and Other Financing Arrangements

     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, 1999,
there were no outstanding loans and $24.2 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 $10.8 million) of financing to certain of its German
subsidiaries (the "German Subfacility"), which is guaranteed by Metallurg and
the other U.S. borrowers

                                       20
<PAGE>   22

under the Revolving Credit Facility. At July 31, 1999, immaterial amounts were
outstanding in Germany under the German Subfacility.

     In addition, certain 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 facilities contain
restrictions that vary from company to company. At July 31, 1999, there were
$2.9 million of outstanding loans under these local credit facilities.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

     Metallurg invested $5.1 million in capital expenditures during the first
two quarters of 1999. Capital expenditures are expected to total approximately
$18.0 million in 1999. Although Metallurg has projected these items in 1999,
Metallurg has not committed purchases to vendors for all of these projects,
which are contingent on local 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

     American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position
96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities", 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 1999,
Metallurg expended $1.8 million for environmental remediation.

     In 1997, 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, 1999, had an estimated cost of completion of $36.2 million. Of
this amount, approximately $0.9 million is expected to be expended in the second
half of 1999, $6.5 million in 2000 and $7.4 million in 2001. In addition,
Metallurg estimates it will make expenditures of $3.8 million with respect to
environmental remediation at its foreign facilities. Of this amount,
approximately $0.2 million is expected to be expended in the second half of
1999, $0.9 million in 2000 and $0.8 million in 2001.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

     Metallurg has completed an internal review of its and its subsidiaries'
information technology systems in connection with its assessment of Year 2000
readiness and has almost completed the replacement or modifications of the
management and accounting systems at its subsidiaries to upgrade them generally
and to make them Year 2000 ready. Metallurg expects to spend between $1.0
million and $2.0 million on these systems changes, much of which has already
been spent. Metallurg expects that the information technology systems for all of
its subsidiaries will be Year 2000 ready early in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Those systems that are not being replaced are being, or have been, modified by
Company personnel to assure that they are Year 2000 ready. Accordingly, no
additional cost has been recognized for such internal upgrades. Metallurg has
substantially completed its assessment of whether any of its non-information
technology will need to be modified to become Year 2000 ready.

     Metallurg has not received written assurances from its significant
suppliers and customers to determine the state of their readiness with regard to
Year 2000. Metallurg believes that they will be prepared for Year 2000 based on
its normal interactions with its customers and suppliers and because of the wide
attention that 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 it obtains more information about the state of readiness of its
suppliers and customers.

                                       21
<PAGE>   23

     Metallurg presently believes that the Year 2000 issue will not pose
significant operational problems for its business systems as it believes that
all needed modifications and conversions will be timely made. 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 ready and the
anticipated timing 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
of the Year 2000 issue are beyond the control of Metallurg and its suppliers and
customers. In particular, Metallurg cannot predict the effect that the Year 2000
issue will have on the general economy.
