RENCO METALS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the accounting records of Renco Metals, Inc. (Renco Metals) and its subsidiaries (the Company), Magnesium Corporation of America (Magcorp), and Sabel Industries, Inc. (Sabel), without audit (except where presented data is specifically identified as audited) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Renco Metals is a 100% owned subsidiary of The Renco Group, Inc. (Group). The financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999. Renco Metals' 11.5% Senior Notes due 2003 (Senior Notes) are unconditionally and fully guaranteed, jointly and severally, by both of its subsidiaries, Magcorp and Sabel (the Guarantors), each of which is wholly-owned. Separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not presented because, in management's opinion, such financial statements would not be material to investors because Renco Metals is a holding company with no independent operations and its only assets are cash and its investment in Magcorp and Sabel. Summarized financial information on the combined Guarantors is presented below: SUMMARIZED COMBINED GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION [Download Table] Three months Ended January 31, 2000 1999 -------- -------- (dollars in thousands) Statement of operations data: Net sales $39,153 $41,620 Cost of sales $30,851 $28,768 Net income (loss) $(3,393) $ 3,450 [Download Table] October 31, JANUARY 31, 1999 2000 (Audited) ----------- ---------- (dollars in thousands) Balance sheet data: Current assets $69,952 $78,701 Noncurrent assets $47,777 $45,508 Current liabilities $12,523 $14,701 Noncurrent liabilities $18,025 $14,922 -6-

Management evaluates a segment's performance based upon operating income. There are no intersegment sales, allocated costs, or jointly used assets. Summarized financial information by operating segment follows. [Enlarge/Download Table] THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, ------------------- 2000 1999 -------- -------- (dollars in thousands) Revenues Magnesium $28,486 $31,186 Steel 10,667 10,434 --------- --------- Consolidated revenues $39,153 $41,620 ========= ========= Profit or loss: Income from operations: Magnesium $ 703 $ 5,747 Steel 442 546 --------- --------- Total reportable segments 1,145 6,293 --------- --------- Other income (expense), net (4,507) (4,888) --------- --------- Consolidated income (loss) before income taxes $(3,362) $1,405 ========= ========= ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999 SALES for the three-month period ended January 31, 2000 decreased 5.9% over the prior period. The decrease was attributable to an 8.7% decrease in Magcorp's revenues partially offset by a 2.2% increase in Sabel's revenues. Magnesium shipments decreased 4.9% and Magcorp's average selling price for magnesium decreased 4.8%. Import competition from foreign producers continues to put pressure on magnesium pricing and volumes. Magnesium pricing and volume are dependent on the overall market supply and demand, and there is no certainty that current trends will not continue. Sabel's sales increase was due to overall price increases in the U.S. steel industry. COST OF SALES for the three-month period ended January 31, 2000 increased 7.2% on a consolidated basis. Magcorp's cost of sales increased 11.6% due primarily to higher production costs at Magcorp caused by production levels being below capacity and a $2.4 million LIFO inventory valuation charge. Cost of sales at -7-

Magcorp was also adversely affected by increased processing costs associated with increased volumes of recycled magnesium. When compared to the corresponding period in 1999, Magcorp increased its participation in die cast markets, which also requires handling and recycling of die cast customer scrap, increasing costs and decreasing margins. Magcorp's cost of sales increase was offset by a 6.0% cost of sales decrease at Sabel attributable to volume decreases incurred while margins increased in the U.S. Steel industry as mentioned above. DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION, AND AMORTIZATION for the three-month period ended January 31, 2000 decreased 5.5% due to certain long-lived assets originally capitalized at the time of Magcorp's acquisition in 1989 becoming fully depreciated, offset by increased depreciation for recently acquired capital equipment additions. SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES for the three-month period ended January 31, 2000 increased 6.2% over the corresponding prior period due largely to increased charges to allowance for doubtful accounts stemming from one of Magcorp's customers filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. INTEREST INCOME for the three-month period ended January 31, 2000 decreased $150,000 due to decreased cash and cash equivalent balances on hand. INCOME TAXES for the three-month period ended January 31, 2000 were zero. Effective November 1, 1998, the Company was designated as a qualified subchapter S subsidiary by Group. Accordingly, the Company is generally not subject to income taxes. As a result of the subchapter S designation, during the three months ended January 31, 1999 the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $2.1 million that included the elimination of net deferred tax liabilities recorded as of October 31, 1998. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's liquidity needs arise from working capital requirements, capital investments and interest payment obligations. The Company's primary source of liquidity has historically been cash provided by operating activities. The Company also has available $40.0 million in revolving credit facilities that provide for advances by the lender based on specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventories to a maximum of $33.0 million for Magcorp and $7.0 million for Sabel, net of outstanding letters of credit. As of January 31, 2000, the unused amounts available to Magcorp and Sabel were approximately $24.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively. During the three-month period ended January 31, 2000, Magcorp and Sabel borrowed net amounts of $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, under their revolving credit facilities. Cash used in operating activities was $5.3 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2000 compared to $4.0 million for the corresponding prior period. The $1.3 million increase in cash used in operations resulted primarily from decreased operating income, offset by favorable changes in working capital items. The reduced operating income is attributable to lower sales volume and pricing from increased import competition in the magnesium operations and by lower margins on increased sales of die cast market products. Pricing and volume are dependent on the overall market supply and demand, and there is no assurance that current trends will not continue. Capital expenditures were $4.7 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2000, and are budgeted to total approximately $20 million for 2000, $16 million for 2001, and $3 million for 2002. Of these projected capital expenditure amounts, an estimated total of $31 million is related to new electrolytic cell technology that is expected to improve manufacturing efficiencies and ensure compliance with future environmental standards. Original plans for complete plant conversion have been scaled back to allow some flexibility due to reduced cash flow from operations caused by worsened market conditions. Certain critical components are requiring more lead-time than was originally anticipated. As a result, conversion of the cells is now expected to commence in late summer or early fall of 2000 and take place over a period of approximately two years. Associated cost reductions and related manufacturing efficiencies will occur gradually as conversion progresses, but will not be fully realized in the Company's operating results until 2002. -8-

Management anticipates that existing cash balances, cash generated from operations, and availability under its revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to finance the Company's liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. However, if magnesium market conditions further deteriorate, in order to fund its planned capital expenditures through 2001, the Company may need to consider additional sources of liquidity or further scale back Magcorp's cell conversion project. The Company's long-term debt agreements contain numerous covenants and prohibitions that limit the financial activities of the Company, including requirements that the Company satisfy certain financial ratios and limitations on additional indebtedness. The ability of the Company to meet its debt service requirements and to comply with such covenants will be dependent upon future operating performance and financial results of the Company, which will be subject to financial, economic, political, competitive and other factors affecting the Company, many of which are beyond its control. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Title III of the Clean Air Act will establish, on a published schedule, new national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAPS). NESHAPS are to be based on maximum achievable control technology as determined by a comparison of installations at similar facilities in specific industry categories. Representatives from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have visited Magcorp's facility in preparation for the process of establishing NESHAPS for chlorine and hydrogen chloride emissions. It is expected that Magcorp will be required to make substantial reductions in chlorine emissions to meet NESHAPS for primary magnesium refineries that will be promulgated by November 2000, with an expected three to five year timetable for compliance following promulgation of the new standards. In anticipation of the new standards, Magcorp has embarked on a program to install new electrolytic cell technology that will reduce chlorine emissions at the source. The new cells are also expected to significantly reduce costs because they have much higher throughput and are more energy efficient. As noted above, cell conversion is expected to commence in late summer or early fall of 2000 and take place over approximately two years. With respect to hydrogen chloride, Magcorp has recently installed and is successfully operating scrubbers to reduce pertinent emissions. Magcorp does not expect that it will be required to spend significant additional amounts to meet the new standards for hydrogen chloride. Magcorp plans to spend an estimated $30 to $35 million of its total capital expenditure budget through 2001, directly or indirectly, to meet environmental regulatory requirements, primarily for NESHAPS, and for other anticipated future requirements. Prototype cell-related project development expenses to date total $6.7 million. There can be no assurance that Magcorp's cell conversion program will be successful, and to the extent it is not successful, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Representatives of the Utah State Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ) Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste visited Magcorp in 1994 regarding the issue of whether piles of material generated in the electrolytic process, which cover an extensive land area at Magcorp's Rowley facility, can be classified as a hazardous or solid waste, and if so classified, what measures might be required to investigate and address these piles. No similar material has been classified by the State as hazardous or solid waste. The State accepted Magcorp's written storage plan, which does not consider the piles hazardous and under which no remediation or action by the Company is necessary. If the piles were at some point in the future to be classified as hazardous waste, thereby becoming subject to State regulation, corrective action could be required. The costs of such compliance, if any, could be material; however, such costs cannot be assessed at this time. Sampling conducted by Magcorp and by UDEQ in 1998 indicated a low but measurable accumulation of chlorinated hydrocarbons in the form of dioxin/furan compounds in soil and sediment samples from a contained and permitted process wastewater collection and retention system used at the Magcorp plant site for over 25 years. While Magcorp does not consider, and believes that UDEQ does not consider, a health hazard to be associated with these preliminary sampling results, Magcorp conducted additional sampling to determine the extent of accumulations of these compounds. Sampling results confirmed the accumulation of small amounts of dioxin/furan compounds in soil and sediment from the process wastewater collection and retention system, and that facility perimeter areas contained only background levels of the compounds. Management does not expect magnesium refineries to become subject to new regulations regarding these compounds in the near future. If these compounds do become subject to government regulation, the costs of such compliance, if any, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations; however, such costs cannot be assessed at this time. -9-

Industrial companies such as Magcorp and Sabel have in recent years become subject to changing and increasingly demanding environmental standards imposed by governmental laws and regulations. The Company cannot currently assess the impact of more stringent standards on its results of operations or financial condition.
