2001 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, 2001. 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

Acquisition
2) On February 8, 2002, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Dunkirk Specialty Steel, LLC ("Dunkirk Specialty Steel"), entered into a
Personal Property Asset Purchase Agreement and a Real Property Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreements") with the New York Job Development
Authority (the "JDA") to acquire certain assets and real property formerly
owned by Empire Specialty Steel, Inc. at its idled production facility
located in Dunkirk, New York. These transactions were completed on
February 14, 2002, and the plant became operational on March 14, 2002.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, Dunkirk Specialty Steel paid $1.1
million in cash and issued two ten-year, 5% interest bearing notes payable
to the JDA for the combined amount of $3.0 million. No principal or
interest payments are due under the notes during the first year. The
purchase price, including related acquisition costs and adjustments for
the discounted value of the JDA notes, of $4,140,000 was allocated as

Business Segments
7.) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", requires companies to
disclose segment information on the same basis as that used internally by
executive management to evaluate segment performance.
The Company is comprised of two business segments: Universal Stainless &
Alloy Products, which consists of the Bridgeville and Titusville facilities
and Dunkirk Specialty Steel, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary located
in Dunkirk, New York.
The Company manufactures and markets semi-finished and finished specialty
steel products, including stainless steel, tool steel and certain other
alloyed steels. Universal Stainless' manufacturing process involves
melting, remelting, treating and hot and cold rolling of semi-finished and
finished specialty steels. Dunkirk Specialty Steel's manufacturing process
involves hot rolling and finishing of specialty steel bar, rod and wire.
Sales between the segments are generally made at market-related prices.
Other income, net, represents interest income. Corporate assets are
primarily cash and cash equivalents, prepaid insurance costs, investment in
Dunkirk Specialty Steel and corporate operating assets.

========== =========== =========== ==========
Three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the similar
periods in 2001
The decrease in net sales for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30,
2002 as compared to the similar periods in 2001 reflects lower demand for power
generation and aerospace products resulting from production cutbacks of power
generation equipment and commercial aircraft. These declines were partially
offset by an increase in demand for tool steel and commodity reroller products.
Management believes that the increased demand for tool steel products indicates
the anticipation of an improving economy, while the increased demand for
commodity reroller products reflects the impact of the tariffs imposed by
President Bush in March, 2002 on imported specialty steel products. The Company
shipped approximately 12,600 tons and 12,300 tons for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 respectively, and 21,000 tons and 23,300 tons for
the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Cost of products sold, as a percentage of net sales, was 86.7% and 79.3% for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and was 84.1%
and 79.9% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
This increase is primarily due to the shift in product mix and the start-up
costs incurred relating to Dunkirk Specialty Steel, the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary which acquired the assets of Empire Specialty Steel on February 14,
2002 and became operational March 14, 2002.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $279,000 in the three-month
period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to June 30, 2001 and decreased by
$464,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to June 30,
2001. This is primarily due to the recognition of a $300,000 bad debt charge
incurred in the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, a $190,000 severance
obligation to its former Vice President of Operations and a $100,000 investment
firm fee charged in the three-month period ended March 31, 2001.
Interest expense and other financing costs decreased by $42,000 in the
three-month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three-month period
ended June 30, 2001 and decreased by $113,000 in the six-month period ended June
30, 2002 as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2001. The decreases
were primarily due to a reduction in borrowings under the revolving line of
credit with PNC Bank and lower interest rates between the two periods, partially
offset by the interest expense recognized on the debt issued in conjunction with
the acquisition of the Empire Specialty Steel assets.
8
The effective income tax rate utilized in the three-and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001 was 36.5% and 37.5%, respectively. 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 2002.

=========== ============== ================ ===============
Universal Stainless & Alloy Products Segment
Net sales for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 for this
segment, which aggregates the Bridgeville and Titusville facilities, were $3.4
and $7.0 million lower, respectively, than the same periods a year ago. This
decrease reflects lower demand for power generation and aerospace products,
partially offset by an increase in demand for tool steel products and for
commodity reroller products, including shipments to the Dunkirk Specialty Steel
segment.
Operating income for the Universal Stainless & Alloy Products segment decreased
by $1.5 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to
June 30, 2001 and decreased by $1.6 million for the six-month period ended June
30, 2002 as compared to June 30, 2001. This decrease was due primarily to the
shift in product mix.
Dunkirk Specialty Steel Segment
On February 8, 2002, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Dunkirk
Specialty Steel, entered into a Property Asset Purchase Agreement and a Real
Property Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreements") with the JDA to acquire
certain assets and real property formerly owned by Empire Specialty Steel, Inc.
at its idled production facility located in Dunkirk, New York. These
transactions were completed on February 14, 2002. Dunkirk Specialty Steel
manufactures and markets finished bar, rod and wire specialty steel products.
The facility became operational on March 14, 2002.
Net sales for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 for this
segment were $2.2 and $2.4 million, respectively. This primarily reflects sales
to service centers. The operating loss for the Dunkirk Specialty Steel segment
was $376,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 and $882,000 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2002, which primarily relates to the start-up
costs incurred since February 14, 2002.
9
Financial Condition
The Company has financed its 2002 operating activities through cash flows from
operations and cash on hand at the beginning of the period. At June 30, 2002,
working capital approximated $35.0 million, as compared to $28.7 million at
December 31, 2001. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 4.0:1
at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. The debt to capitalization was 14.5% at
June 30, 2002 and 12.9% at December 31, 2001.
The Company's capital expenditures, excluding the Dunkirk, NY acquisition,
approximated $1.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, which
primarily related to the Bridgeville and Dunkirk facilities. At June 30, 2002,
the Company had outstanding purchase commitments in addition to the expenditures
incurred to date of approximately $2.7 million. The Company expended $1.3
million in connection with the Personal Property Asset and Real Property
Purchase Agreements entered into with the JDA to acquire certain assets and real
property formerly owned by Empire Specialty Steel, Inc. As of June 30, 2002, the
Company had $6.5 million available for borrowings under a revolving line of
credit with PNC Bank. On May 31, 2002, the Company entered into a fourth
amendment to the second amended and restated credit agreement with PNC Bank
which extended the term of the existing $6.5 million revolving credit facility
to April 30, 2004.
The Company issued 200,000 shares of Common Stock in the three-month period
ended June 30, 2002 associated with the exercise of stock options. The Company
received $1.9 million in cash and will receive a tax benefit of $428,000.
There were no shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2002. The Company is authorized to repurchase an
additional 45,100 shares of Common Stock as of June 30, 2002.
The Company anticipates that it will fund its 2002 working capital requirements,
its capital expenditures and the stock repurchase program primarily from funds
generated from operations and borrowings. The Company's long-term liquidity
requirements, including capital expenditures, are expected to be financed by a
combination of internally generated funds, borrowings and other sources of
external financing if needed.
2002 Outlook
The Company estimates that its sales for the third quarter of 2002 will be
between $18 and $22 million, versus sales of $23.3 million in the prior year
period. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2002 are currently
projected to range from $0.09 to $0.14, compared with $0.38 reported in the
third quarter of 2001. The following factors were considered in developing these
estimates:
.. The Company's backlog approximated $21 million on June 30, 2002 as
compared to $23 million on March 31, 2002.
.. Sales to the Company's reroller customers are expected to remain strong,
with commodity products again dominating the mix. Sales to the OEM and
forger markets are expected to be lower than in the prior year period as
a result of reduced demand from the power generation and aerospace
industries. Service center sales are expected to rise, primarily
resulting from the growth expected at Dunkirk Specialty Steel.
.. Sales from Dunkirk Specialty Steel are expected to reach approximately $5
million in the third quarter, compared with $2.2 million in the second
quarter and $206,000 in the first quarter of 2002. Dunkirk is expected to
reduce its level of operating losses during the third quarter as it
approaches its profitability threshold of $2 million in monthly sales.
.. The Company is continuing negotiations of a new labor agreement with its
hourly employees at the Bridgeville facility to replace the existing
agreement that expires August 31, 2002. In the event that a new agreement
between the parties is not reached prior to the expiration of the current
agreement, a work stoppage on the part of the represented employees is a
possibility and could have a material adverse affect on the Company's
financial results.
