NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1) The accompanying unaudited, consolidated condensed financial statements of
operations for the three- and six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001
and 2000, balance sheets as of JuneSeptember 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000,
and statements of cash flows for the six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30,
2001 and 2000 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly,
these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000. In the opinion
of management, the accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments, all of which were of a normal recurring
nature, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position at JuneSeptember 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000
and the consolidated results of operations and of cash flows for the
periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001 and 2000, and are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2) In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company adopted the provisions of the
Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB 101). As a result
of the adoption, the Company's statements of operations and cash flows for
the three- and six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2000 have been
restated to include the effect of conforming to SAB 101. Previously
reported net sales and net income for the three- and six-monthnine-month periods
ended JuneSeptember 30, 2000 were $19,012,000$20,809,000 and $1,366,000,$1,438,000, and $37,101,000$57,910,000
and $2,262,000,$3,700,000, respectively. The application of the SEC's guidance to
language in the Company's previous Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale
required Universal Stainless to defer revenue recognition until cash was
collected, even though risk of loss passed to the buyer at time of
shipment. In the fourth quarter of 2000, management modified the Company's
Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale to more closely reflect the substance
of its sales transactions and permit the recognition of revenue on a basis
consistent with past practices.
3) The reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding utilized for the earnings per common share computations are as

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During 2000, the Company adopted the provisions of the Securities and Exchange
Commission's (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements." The application of the SEC's guidance to the language
contained in the Company's Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale existing at the
time of adoption required the Company to defer revenue until cash was collected,
even though risk of loss passed to the buyer at time of shipment. This had the
effect of deferring certain sale transactions previously recognized in 1999 into
2000. During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company modified its Standard
Terms and Conditions of Sale to more closely reflect the substance of its sale
transactions, which resulted in revenue being recorded at the time of shipment
rather than when cash was received. Because this did not occur until the fourth
quarter, the revenue and cost information for the three- and six-monthnine-month periods
ended JuneSeptember 30, 2000 relates to cash collections. In order to facilitate
analysis of the Company's results of operations, amounts in the table below
summarize revenue and cost information based on shipments made by the Company in
the respective quarter, rather than cash collected for 2000. Such amounts are
then reconciled to reported amounts as necessary (dollars in thousands):

Three- and six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001 as compared to the
similar periods in 2000
The increase in net sales for the three- and six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember
30, 2001 as compared to the similar periods in 2000 reflects substantially
increased shipments to OEM and forging markets. This increase is primarily due
to continued high levels of demand in the power generation, aerospace and
petrochemical markets. This increase was partially offset by lower shipments of
stainless steel commodity products and tool steel products as a result of
increased imports and the slowing economy. The Company shipped approximately
12,30011,900 tons and 9,70011,600 tons for the three-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001
and 2000, respectively, and 23,30035,300 tons and 20,50032,100 tons for the six-monthnine-month
periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Cost of products shipped, as a percentage of net sales on shipments, was 79.3%77.9%
and 80.1%80.9% for the three-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, and was 79.9%79.2% and 82.6%82.0% for the six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember
30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. This decrease is primarily due to the impact
of the mix of products shipped.shipped partially offset by higher natural gas costs.
Selling and administrative expenses increased by $383,000$30,000 in the three-month
period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001 as compared to JuneSeptember 30, 2000 and increased
by $839,000$869,000 for the six-monthnine-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001 as compared to
JuneSeptember 30, 2000. ThisThe year-to-date increase is primarily due to higher bad
debt expense resulting from negative economic impacts on certain steel industry
customers and increased employment and insurance costs related to the increased
level of business.
Interest expense and other financing costs decreased by $71,000$95,000 in the three-
month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001 as compared to the three-month period
ended JuneSeptember 30, 2000 and decreased by $112,000$207,000 in the six-monthnine-month period
ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001 as compared to the six-monthnine-month period ended JuneSeptember
30, 2000. The decreases were primarily due to a reduction in debt levels
between the periods.
The effective income tax rate utilized in the three-and six-monththree-month periods ended
JuneSeptember 30, 2001 and 2000 was 37.5% and 35.0%41.1%, respectively. The effective
income tax rate utilized in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and
2000 was 37.5%. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, the
Company increased the estimated annual effective income tax rate from 35%, which
was utilized through June 30, 2000, to 37.5%. The effective income tax rate
utilized in the current period reflects the anticipated effect of the Company's
permanent tax deductions against expected income levels in 2001.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company has financed its 2001 operating activities through cash flows from
operations, cash on hand, borrowings from the PNC revolving line of credit and
capitalized leases. At JuneSeptember 30, 2001, working capital approximated $25.9$26.6
million, as compared to $23.5$23.6 million at December 31, 2000. The ratio of
current assets to current liabilities decreased from 3.2:1 at December 31, 2000
to 2.8:2.9:1 at JuneSeptember 30, 2001. The decrease in the ratio of current assets to
current liabilities is primarily due to a decrease in cash, which was used to
fund debt payments and anthe percentage increase in liabilities
to fund operations.operations exceeding the percentage increase in current assets. In
addition, the Company repurchased 12,000 shares of Common Stock at an average
price of $7.22 per share during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001.
The Company is authorized to repurchase an additional 45,100 shares of Common
Stock as of September 30, 2001. The debt to capitalization was 15.3%13.9% at
JuneSeptember 30, 2001 and 17% at December 31, 2000.
The Company's capital expenditures approximated $2.4$4.2 million for the six-monthnine-month
period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001, which primarily related to the purchase of a
new electro slagelectro-slag remelt furnace and the installation of the billet grinder and
Oliver plate saw at the Bridgeville facility. At JuneSeptember 30, 2001, the
Company had outstanding purchase commitments in addition to the expenditures
incurred to date of approximately $2.2$1.2 million. These expenditures are expected
to be funded substantially from internally generated funds and additional
borrowings. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2001, the Company had $6.3$6.5 million available
for borrowings under a revolving line of credit with PNC Bank. On June 29, 2001, the Company entered
into a third amendment to the second amended and restated credit agreement with
PNC Bank which amended the existing agreement to extend the term of the $6.5
million revolving credit facility to April 30, 2003.
In July 2001, the Company entered into a supply contract agreement with Talley
Metals Technology, Inc., a subsidiary of Carpenter Technologies, Inc., covering
a period of at least 18 months. Under terms of the agreement, the Company will
supply Talley Metals with an average of 1,250 tons of stainless reroll billet
products per month. The value of the contract on a monthly basis will depend on
product mix and key raw material prices.

month period ended June 30, 2001. The Company is authorized to repurchase an
additional 57,100 shares of Common Stock as of June 30, 2001.
