REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of RTI International Metals, Inc.:

         We have completed an integrated audit of RTI International Metals,
Inc.'s 2004 consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 and audits of its 2003 and 2002
consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our
audits, are presented below.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE

         In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the
accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of RTI International Metals, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31,
2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In
addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the
accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information
set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated
financial statements. These financial statements and the financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement
schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Also, we have audited management's assessment, included in Management's Report
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that RTI
International Metals, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, because (1) the Company did not
maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of
accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of generally
accepted accounting principles commensurate with the Company's financial
reporting requirements. This material weakness contributed to the following
individual material weaknesses: (a) the Company did not maintain effective
controls over account reconciliations or journal entries; (b) the Company did
not maintain effective controls over the selection and application of generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP); (c) the Company did not maintain
effective controls over consolidation and elimination adjustments; (d) the
Company did not maintain effective controls over the segregation of duties; (e)
the Company did not maintain effective controls over the timely and accurate
preparation and review of its financial statements in accordance with GAAP; (f)
the Company did not maintain effective controls over spreadsheets; and (g) the
Company did not maintain effective controls over the accounting for income
taxes, (2) the Company did not maintain effective control over the effectiveness
of controls at two third-party service organizations, (3) the Company did not
maintain effective control over the accounting for property, plant and equipment
and (4) the Company did not maintain an effective control environment based on
criteria established in "Internal Control--Integrated Framework" issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). The
Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on
management's assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting based on our audit.


                                       3


         We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of
internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment,
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinions.

         A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

         Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

         A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included
in management's assessment.

1)   As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain a sufficient
     complement of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge,
     experience and training in the application of generally accepted accounting
     principles commensurate with the Company's financial reporting
     requirements. This material weakness contributed to the following
     individual material weaknesses:

     a)   The Company did not maintain effective controls over account
          reconciliations or journal entries. Specifically, the Company did not
          have effective controls over the preparation, review and approval of
          certain account reconciliations or journal entries for balance sheet
          or income statement accounts including: (i) payroll and payroll
          related accounts, (ii) import duty recovery accounts, and (iii)
          workers compensation accrual accounts. These control deficiencies
          resulted in audit adjustments to the Company's consolidated financial
          statements.

                                       4

     b)   The Company did not maintain effective controls over the selection and
          application of GAAP. Specifically, the Company incorrectly applied
          GAAP in accounting for: (i) supplemental employment and other
          post-retirement benefit liabilities and expense by incorrectly
          accounting for unvested vacation and holiday pay expenses and
          incorrectly accounting for their other post-retirement benefit
          liability, (ii) leases by depreciating leasehold improvements over a
          period of time greater than the lease term, (iii) business
          combinations by incorrectly determining the appropriate value of stock
          used in acquisitions, and (iv) foreign currency translation by
          incorrectly translating the financial statements of a foreign
          subsidiary. This control deficiency resulted in audit adjustments to
          the Company's consolidated financial statements. 
     c)   The Company did not maintain effective controls over consolidation and
          elimination adjustments. Specifically, the Company did not have
          controls over the completeness or accuracy of consolidating
          information to ensure that all required consolidation and elimination
          adjustments were prepared, approved and recorded, including the proper
          accounting for a minority interest. This control deficiency resulted
          in audit adjustments to the Company's consolidated financial
          statements.
     d)   The Company did not maintain effective controls over the segregation
          of duties. Specifically, certain of the Company's personnel had
          incompatible duties that permitted unrestricted access to various
          financial application programs and data beyond that needed to perform
          their individual job responsibilities, nor were there effective
          controls in place to monitor user access. These applications impact
          all business processes, including accounts receivable, accounts
          payable, payroll and inventory. This control deficiency did not result
          in a misstatement to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
     e)   The Company did not maintain effective controls over the timely and
          accurate preparation and review of its financial statements in
          accordance with GAAP. Specifically, the Company did not have effective
          controls over the process for identifying and accumulating all
          required supporting information to ensure the completeness and
          accuracy of its footnote disclosures, and to ensure that balances in
          the financial statements agreed to supporting details. These control
          deficiencies resulted in audit adjustments to the Company's
          consolidated financial statements.
     f)   The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain 
          spreadsheets. Specifically, the Company's controls over the
          completeness, accuracy, validity, and restricted access and the review
          of certain spreadsheets used in the period-end financial statement
          preparation and reporting process were either not designed
          appropriately or did not operate as designed. These control
          deficiencies did not result in a misstatement to the Company's
          consolidated financial statements. 
     g)   The Company did not maintain effectively designed controls over the
          accounting for income taxes including income taxes payable, deferred
          income tax assets and liabilities and the related income tax
          provision. Specifically, due to an insufficient complement of
          personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge,
          experience and training in accounting for income taxes in accordance
          with GAAP, a lack of clarity in the roles and responsibilities related
          to income tax accounting, insufficient and/or ineffective review and
          approval practices, and the lack of internal control and review
          processes to ensure the accuracy of data used in income tax
          computations, the Company was unable to accurately determine its
          income tax liability and related provision. This control deficiency
          resulted in audit adjustments to the Company's consolidated financial
          statements.


                                       5

     Each of these control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of 
     account balances or disclosures that would result in a material
     misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not
     be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that each
     control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

2)   As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain effective control
     over the effectiveness of controls at two third-party service
     organizations. The service organizations process payroll for certain
     Company employees as well as health care claims for both Company employees
     and retirees. Such processes are considered part of the Company's internal
     control over financial reporting specifically as to the existence and
     completeness of payroll and health care claims liabilities as well as the
     related expenses. Management was unable to obtain evidence about the
     effectiveness of controls over financial reporting at these service
     organizations which represents a control deficiency. This control
     deficiency did not result in a misstatement to the Company's consolidated
     financial statements. However, it could result in the misstatement of
     payroll and health care claims liabilities as well as the related expenses
     that would result in a material misstatement to annual or interim financial
     statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management
     determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

3)   As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain effective controls
     over the accounting for property, plant and equipment. Specifically, the
     Company's controls to ensure the complete and accurate processing of
     additions, disposals, maintenance of useful lives and the calculation of
     depreciation were not designed effectively. This control deficiency did not
     result in a misstatement to the Company's consolidated financial
     statements. However, it could result in a misstatement of property, plant
     and equipment and the related depreciation expense that would result in a
     material misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that would
     not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management determined that this
     control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

4)   As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain an effective control
     environment based on criteria established in "Internal Control--Integrated
     Framework" issued by the COSO. The financial reporting organizational
     structure was not adequate to support the size, complexity, operating
     activities or locations of the Company. Deficiencies, such as an
     insufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of
     accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of
     generally accepted accounting principles have resulted in adjustments to
     the consolidated financial statements as discussed in item 1 above. Item 1,
     together with the material weaknesses described in items 2 and 3 above,
     indicate that the Company did not maintain an effective control
     environment. These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of
     accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to
     annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or
     detected. Accordingly, management determined that this control deficiency
     constitutes a material weakness.


                                       6


         These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature,
timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2004 consolidated
financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion
on those consolidated financial statements.

         As described in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting, management has excluded Claro Precision, Inc. from its assessment of
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 because it was
acquired by the Company through a purchase business combination in October 2004.
We have also excluded Claro Precision, Inc. from our audit of internal control
over financial reporting. Claro Precision, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary
whose total assets and total revenues represent approximately 9% and
approximately 2%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement
amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004.

         In our report dated April 14, 2005, we stated that the Company had not
reported on its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting and, accordingly, the scope of our work was not sufficient
to enable us to express, and we did not express, an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company has now
reported on its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting and we have completed our audit thereof. Accordingly, our
present report insofar as it relates to the Company's internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, as presented herein, is different
from our previous report.

         In our opinion, management's assessment that RTI International Metals,
Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria
established in "Internal Control--Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.
Also, in our opinion, because of the effects of the material weaknesses
described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria,
RTI International Metals, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established
in "Internal Control--Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.

  The accompanying notes are an integral part of these Consolidated Financial
                                  Statements.
 
                                        11

 
                         RTI INTERNATIONAL METALS, INC.
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED)
 
NOTE 1-- ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS:
 
     The consolidated financial statements of RTI International Metals, Inc.
(the "Company") include the financial position and results of operations for the
Company and its subsidiaries.
 
     The Company is a successor to entities that have been operating in the
titanium industry since 1951. The Company is engaged in the manufacture of
titanium mill products and the fabrication and distribution of titanium and
other specialty metal products for use in the aerospace, oil and gas exploration
and production, geo-thermal energy production, chemical processing, and other
industries.
 
NOTE 2-- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES:
 
  Principles of consolidation:
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RTI
International Metals, Inc. and its majority owned and wholly-owned subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
 
  Use of estimates:
 
     Generally accepted accounting principles require management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at year-end
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual
results could differ from these estimates. Significant items subject to such
estimates and assumptions include the carrying values of accounts receivable,
duty drawback, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, pensions,
post-retirement benefits, worker's compensation, environmental liabilities and
income taxes.
 
  Fair Value:
 
     For certain of the Company's financial instruments and account groupings,
including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued wages and other
employee costs, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings and other
accrued liabilities, the carrying value approximates fair value due to the short
maturities of the instruments and groupings.
 
  Employees:
 
     At December 31, 2004, a portion of the Company's employees were covered by
a collective bargaining agreement. On October 25, 2003 certain union members
voted to reject management's final contract proposal and a work stoppage
commenced. Non-represented employees operated the plant until an agreement was
reached December 1, 2004. The new contract expires January 31, 2010. The
contract for the hourly employees at the facilities in Ashabula expires in
January 2006.
 
  Cash equivalents:
 
     The Company considers all cash investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents principally
consist of investments in short-term money market funds.
 
  Accounts Receivable:
 
     Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. Estimates are made
as to the Company's ability to collect outstanding accounts receivable, taking
into consideration the amount, customer financial condition and age of the debt.
The Company ascertains the net realizable value of amounts owed and provides an
allowance when collection becomes doubtful. Accounts receivable are expected to
be collected in the normal course of business.
 
                                        12

 
  Inventories:
 
     Inventories are valued at cost as determined by the last-in, first-out
(LIFO) method for approximately 57% for both 2004 and 2003 of the Company's
inventories. The remaining inventories are valued at cost determined by a
combination of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) and weighted average cost methods.
Inventory costs generally include materials, labor costs and manufacturing
overhead (including depreciation). When market conditions indicate an excess of
carrying cost over market value, a lower-of-cost-or-market provision is
recorded.
 
  U.S. Customs Recovery--Other Current Assets:
 
     The Company maintains a program through its authorized agent to recapture
duty paid by the Company on imported titanium sponge as an offset against
exports by its customers. The agent who matches the Company's duty paid with
export shipments of its customers through filings with the U.S. Customs Service
performs the recapture process. The Company has entered into multiple sharing
arrangements with its export customers.
 
     The Company takes a credit to cost of sales when it receives notification
from its agent that the claim has been accepted by the U.S. Customs Department.
In 2004, the Company recognized cost reduction amounts of $763,000 and $244,000
in 2003. There was no recognized cost reduction in 2002. The Company assesses
the net realizable value of its amount owed based on the age of the claim and
may provide for an allowance for amounts not received in a timely manner. At
December 31, 2004, the Company was owed $2.0 million and at December 31, 2003,
the Company was owed $2.2 million from U.S. Customs. In 2004, the Company
provided an allowance of $219,000, $381,000 in 2003.
 
  Property, plant and equipment:
 
     The cost of property, plant and equipment includes all direct costs of
acquisition and capital improvements. Applicable amounts of interest on
borrowings outstanding during the construction or acquisition period for major
capital projects are capitalized. During the periods included in the financial
statements the Company did not capitalize interest expense. During all periods
presented, the Company did not have any long-term debt and interest expense
incurred was related to fees on unused capacity for the Company's unsecured
credit facility.
 
     In general, depreciation of properties is determined using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of
assets. For financial accounting purposes, depreciation and amortization are
provided over the following useful lives:
 

                                                            
Building and improvements...................................   20-25 years
Machinery and equipment.....................................   10-14 years
Furniture and fixtures......................................    3-10 years
Computer hardware and software..............................    3-10 years

 
     The cost of properties retired or otherwise disposed of, together with the
accumulated depreciation provided thereon, is eliminated from the accounts. The
net gain or loss is recognized in operating income.
 
     Leased property and equipment under capital leases are amortized using the
straight-line method over the term of the lease.
 
     Routine maintenance, repairs and replacements are charged to operations.
Expenditures that materially increase values, change capacities or extend useful
lives are capitalized.
 
     Under the provisions of Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the
Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use," the Company
capitalizes costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal
use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and management has
authorized further funding for the project which it deems probable will be
completed and used to perform the function intended. Capitalized costs include
only (1) external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing
or obtaining internal-use software, (2) payroll and payroll-related costs for
employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the
internal-use software project, and (3) internal costs incurred, when material,
while developing internal-use software. Capitalization of such costs ceases no
later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and the
software is ready for its intended purpose.
 
                                        13

 
  Goodwill and Intangible Assets:
 
     Goodwill arising from business acquisitions, which represents the excess of
the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired, is recorded as an
asset.
 
     Prior to adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142
("SFAS No. 142), "Goodwill and Intangible Assets," goodwill was amortized using
the straight-line method over the economic life of the asset acquired, not to
exceed 25 years. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill amortization ceased and the
carrying amount of goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment. Absent
any events throughout the year which would indicate an impairment, the Company
performs annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter. There have been no
impairments to date. In the case of goodwill and long-lived assets, if future
product demand or market conditions reduce management's expectation of future
cash flows from these assets, a write-down of the carrying value of goodwill or
long-lived assets may be required.
 
     Intangible assets were valued at fair value with the assistance of outside
experts. In the event that demand or market conditions change and the expected
future cash flows associated to these assets is reduced, a write-down or
acceleration of the amortization period may be required. Intangible assets are
amortized over 20 years.
 
  Other Long-Lived Assets:
 
     The Company evaluates the potential impairment of other long-lived assets
including property plant and equipment when events or circumstances indicate
that a change in value may have occurred. Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, "Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets," if the carrying value of
the assets exceeds the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows, the
carrying value of the asset is written down to fair value.
 
  Environmental:
 
     The Company expenses environmental expenditures related to existing
conditions from which no future benefit is determinable. Expenditures that
enhance or extend the life of the assets are capitalized. The Company determines
its liability for remediation on a site by site basis and records a liability
when it is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company has included in
other noncurrent assets an amount that it expects to collect from third parties.
This amount represents the contributions from third parties in conjunction with
the Company's most likely estimate of its environmental liabilities. The
estimated liability of the Company is not discounted or reduced for possible
recoveries from insurance carriers.
 
  Revenue and cost recognition:
 
     Revenues from the sale of products are recognized upon passage of title,
risk of loss, and risk of ownership to the customer. Title, risk of loss and
ownership in most cases coincides with shipment from the Company's facilities.
On occasion, the Company may use shipping terms of FOB-Destination or Ex-Works.
 
     From time to time the Company may enter into a long-term, fixed-price
contract whereby the Company will recognize revenue based on
percentage-of-completion accounting. The Company will use percentage-of-
completion accounting when it deems that this method more accurately reflects
the timing and reporting of the Company's earnings process.
 
     Other contracts for which percentage-of-completion accounting is not used
results in the deferral of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted
contracts, net of progress billings. This amount is included in "Inventories" on
the consolidated balance sheet. In 2004, this amount was $2.4 million and in
2003 equaled $6.5 million. Contract costs comprise all direct material and labor
costs, including outside processing fees, and those indirect costs related to
contract performance. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts
are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
 
     The Company recognizes revenue only upon the acceptance of a definitive
agreement or purchase order and with the exception of percentage-of-completion
contracts upon delivery in accordance with the delivery terms on the agreement
or purchase order, and the price to the buyer is fixed and collectibility is
reasonably assured.
 
                                        14

 
  Research and Development:
 
     Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
  Pensions:
 
     The Company and its subsidiaries have a number of pension plans which cover
substantially all employees. Most employees in the Titanium Group are covered by
defined benefit plans in which benefits are based on years of service and annual
compensation. Contributions to the defined benefit plans, as determined by an
independent actuary in accordance with applicable regulations, provide not only
for benefits attributed to date but also for those expected to be earned in the
future. The Company's policy is to fund pension costs at amounts equal to the
minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 ("ERISA"), as amended, for U.S. plans plus additional amounts as may be
approved from time to time.
 
     The majority of employees in the Fabrication and Distribution Group
participate in defined contribution or money purchase plans. Employees of
Tradco, Inc., a company that operates as part of the Fabrication and
Distribution Group, participated in a defined benefit plan until June 30, 2004.
Effective July 1, 2004 those employees were switched to a defined contribution
plan and those benefits that had accrued under the prior defined benefit plan
were frozen and no other benefits were subject to future accrual. The freezing
of the benefits under the plan resulted in a curtailment of the plan under SFAS
No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined
Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination of Benefits" (SFAS No. 88) See Note
11.
 
  Postretirement benefits:
 
     The Company provides health care benefits and life insurance coverage for
certain of its employees and their dependents. Under the Company's current
plans, certain of the Company's employees will become eligible for those
benefits if they reach retirement age while working with the Company. In
general, employees of the Titanium Group are covered by postretirement health
care and life insurance benefits.
 
     The Company does not prefund postretirement benefit costs, but rather pays
claims as presented.
 
  Income taxes:
 
     In connection with the 1990 Reorganization and Initial Public Offering, the
tax basis of RMI Titanium Company's assets at that time reflected the fair
market value of the common stock then issued by RMI. The new tax basis was
allocated to all assets of RMI based on federal income tax rules and
regulations, and the results of an independent appraisal. For financial
statement purposes, these assets are carried at historical cost. As a result,
the tax basis of a significant portion of RMI's assets exceeds the related book
values, and depreciation and amortization for tax purposes exceeds the
corresponding financial statement amounts.
 
     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities
multiplied by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these
differences are expected to reverse. In addition, deferred tax assets may arise
from net operating losses ("NOL's") and tax credits which may be carried back to
obtain refunds or carried forward to offset future cash tax liabilities.
 
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS No. 109"),
"Accounting for Income Taxes," requires a valuation allowance when it is "more
likely than not" that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The Company continually evaluates the available evidence supporting
the realization of deferred tax assets and adjusts the valuation allowance
accordingly. (See Note 8).
 
  Foreign currencies:
 
     For foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar,
monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at current rates, non-monetary
assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical rates, and revenues and
expenses are translated at average rates on a monthly basis throughout the
period. Resulting differences from the remeasurement process are recognized in
income and reported as other income.
 
     The functional currency of the Company's newly acquired Canadian subsidiary
is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end
exchange rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average
                                        15

 
rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments are
reported as a component of shareholders equity and are not included in income.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net income for the
period.
 
     Transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than the
functional currency of the transacting entity are remeasured at current rates
when the transaction occurs and at each balance sheet date.
 
  Derivative financial instruments:
 
     The Company may enter into derivative financial instruments only for
hedging purposes. Derivative instruments are used as risk management tools. The
Company does not use these instruments for trading or speculation. Derivatives
used for hedging purposes must be designated and effective as a hedge of the
identified risk exposure upon inception of the instrument. If a derivative
instrument fails to meet the criteria as an effective hedge, gains and losses
are recognized currently in income. There were no derivatives for hedge
accounting in 2004 and 2003.
 
  Stock-based compensation:
 
     As permitted by the provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), the Company has elected to measure stock-based
compensation under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB No. 25), and to adopt the
disclosure-only alternative described in SFAS No. 123. For restricted stock
awards, the Company records deferred stock-based compensation based on the fair
market value of common stock on the date of the award. Such deferred stock-based
compensation is amortized over the vesting period of each individual award.
 
     If compensation expense for the Company's stock options granted had been
determined based on the fair value at the grant date for the awards in
accordance with SFAS No. 123, the effect on the Company's net income and
earnings per share for the three years ended December 31, 2004 would have been
as follows:
 


                                                             2004         2003          2002

     In addition to the assumptions above, the Company adjusts for the
non-exercisability as the options vest ratably over the initial 3 year term and
adjusts for factors associated to attrition amongst awardees.
 
                                        16

 
     Included in the Company's income for the years 2004, 2003 and 2002 is
stock-based compensation expense amounting to $811, $928, and $962,
respectively. Net of tax, these amounts were $365, $586, and $596, respectively.
 
  New accounting standards:
 
     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 123R),
Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123R requires the mandatory expensing of share-based
payments, including employee stock options, based on their fair value. The
Company is required to adopt the provision of SFAS 123R effective as of the
beginning of the third quarter in 2005. SFAS 123R provides alternative methods
of adoption including prospective and modified retroactive applications. The
Company is currently evaluating the financial impact, including the available
alternatives, under SFAS 123R.
 
     In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs. The Company
is required to adopt SFAS 151 on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2006. SFAS
151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling cost, and wasted material. SFAS 151 requires that those
items -- if abnormal -- be recognized as expenses in the period incurred. SFAS
151 requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of
conversion based upon the normal capacity of the production facilities. The
Company has not yet determined what effect SFAS 151 will have on its financial
statements.
 
     In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-1,
"Application of FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," to the
Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004," (FSP FAS 109-1) which states that the FASB staff believes
that the qualified production activities deduction provided by the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) should be accounted for as a special deduction in
accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 (FAS 109). This FSP was effective upon
issuance.
 
     In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-2,
"Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation
Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004," which states that the
FASB staff believes that the lack of clarification of certain provisions within
the Act and the timing of the enactment necessitate a practical exemption to the
FAS 109 requirement to reflect in the period of enactment the effect of a new
tax law. Accordingly, an enterprise is allowed time beyond the financial
reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Act on its plan for
reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying FAS
109.
 
     In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised December
2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest entities, an interpretation of ARB
No. 51," (FIN 46) which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of
variable interest entities that do not have sufficient equity investment to
permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated
financial support from other parties or whose equity investors lack
characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The Interpretation provides
guidance related to identifying variable interest entities and determining
whether such entities should be consolidated. It also provides guidance related
to the initial and subsequent measurement of assets, liabilities and
noncontrolling interests in newly consolidated variable interest entities and
requires disclosures for both the primary beneficiary of a variable interest
entity and other beneficiaries of the entity. FIN 46 must be applied to all
entities subject to this Interpretation as of March 31, 2004. However, prior to
the required application of this Interpretation, FIN 46 must be applied to those
entities that are considered to be special-purpose entities as of December 31,
2003. There was no financial statement impact from the application of this
standard.
 
     On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) was signed into law. The Act introduced a
prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D), as well as a federal
subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit
that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. On May 19, 2004,
FASB issued Staff Position FSP FAS 106-2 (FSP 106-2), which supercedes FSP 106-1
and provides guidance on accounting for the effects of the new Medicare
prescription drug legislation for employers whose prescription drug benefits are
actuarially equivalent to the drug benefit under Medicare Part D. RTI has not
completed analyzing the effects of the Act. Accordingly, the measure of its
Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation (APBO) and net periodic benefit
cost do not reflect any potential effects of the Act.

NOTE 3--ACQUISITIONS
 
     On October 1, 2004, RTI acquired all of the stock of Claro Precision, Inc.,
of Montreal Quebec Canada. The aggregate purchase price was $30.6 million
consisting of cash of $23.6 million less cash acquired of $1.6 million and
358,908 shares of RTI common stock with a fair value of $7.0 million. The
agreement provided for an audit period after the purchase on October 1, 2004 for
adjustments to the purchase price to finalize and determine whether the target
equity amount of $9.7 million existed on the closing date. In accordance with
the agreement the Company determined that an adjustment to the purchase price of
$0.2 million was due the Company and has been included as a reduction to the
allocated purchase price.
 
     The purchase was made with available cash on hand and newly issued common
shares. The results of operations are included in the quarter beginning October
1, 2004. Claro will operate and report under the Company's Fabrication and
Distribution segment.
 
     Claro Precision, Inc., is a manufacturer of precision-machined components
and complex mechanical and electrical assemblies for the aerospace industry.
 
     The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair market values as of
October 1, 2004. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," the purchase price was assigned to
the assets and liabilities acquired based on fair value. Fair value is defined
in SFAS 141 as the "amount at which that asset (or liability) could be bought
(or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing
parties, that is, other than in a forced liquidation sale.

          Pro forma adjustments include the amortization of intangible assets
     with an assigned value of $16.2 million. The amortization period is equal
     to 20 years. The amortization expense over the next five years is $4.1
     million. The intangible assets represent the assigned value of customer
     relationships. Goodwill of $10.4 million resulted from the acquisition and
     is non deductive for income tax purposes in Canada. Included in the pro
     forma information above is the write-off of a step up in inventory values
     which is not expected to occur beyond each of the one year periods shown.
     Additionally, fixed assets were stepped-up to approximate fair market value
     and are being depreciated over 10 years in accordance with Company
     accounting policies. The preliminary purchase price allocations are subject
     to adjustment and may be modified within one year from the acquisition.
     Subsequent changes are not expected to have a material effect on the
     Company's consolidated financial position.
 
          The pro forma combined financial results have been prepared for

     The results for 2003 included the impact of a settlement with the IRS
related to examinations performed on RTI's 1998 through 2001 tax years. As a

     During 2004, a valuation allowance of $577,000 was established for net
deferred tax assets of the Company's wholly-owned United Kingdom subsidiary,
which consist principally of Net Operating Loss carryforwards of $450,000 that
have no expiration date. Nevertheless, because of cumulative losses generated by
the subsidiary in recent years, the Company believes that more likely than not,
a benefit will be not realized for these deferred tax assets. The Company
expects to generate sufficient future taxable income from future operations in
the appropriate periods to realize the benefit of its remaining deferred tax
assets.
 
     On October 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004 (the "Act"). The Act provides a deduction for income from qualified
domestic production activities, which will be phased in from 2005 through 2010.
In return, the Act also provides for a two-year phase-out of the existing
extra-territorial income exclusion (ETI) for foreign sales that was viewed to be
inconsistent with international trade protocols by the European Union. The
Company expects the net effect of the phase out of the ETI and the phase in of
this new deduction to have an immaterial effect on the Company's tax rate but
the Company has not completed its evaluation.
 
     Under the guidance in FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-1, Application of
FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," to the Tax Deduction on
Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004, the deduction will be treated as a "special deduction" as described in
FASB Statement No. 109. As such, the special deduction has no effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities existing at the enactment date. Rather, the impact of
this deduction will be reported in the period in which the deduction is claimed
on our tax return.
 
     The Act also creates a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to
repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85 percent dividends
received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations
for an effective rate of tax of 5.25% before potential applicable foreign tax
credits. The deduction is
 
                                        22

 
subject to a number of limitations and, as of today, uncertainty remains as to
how to interpret numerous provisions in the Act. As such, we are not yet in a
position to decide on whether, and to what extent, we might repatriate foreign
earnings that have not yet been remitted to the U.S. Based on our analysis to
date, however, it is reasonably possible that we may repatriate some amount
between $0 to $3 million, with the respective tax liability ranging from $0 to
$1 million. We expect to be in a position to finalize our assessment by the
fourth quarter of 2005.
 
     While the Company is currently studying the impact of these one-time
favorable dividend provisions, the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest
undistributed retained earnings of its wholly-owned French and United Kingdom
subsidiaries, which amounted to $3,967,000 at December 31, 2004. Accordingly, no
deferred U.S. tax liability has been recorded with respect to this amount, and
the Company believes it is not practicable to estimate the amount of incremental
taxes that might be payable if these earnings were repatriated.

(1) Other operating income in 2004 reflected the gain on the sale of the
    Company's RMI Metals (MICRON) site in Salt Lake City, Utah, of $0.4 million
    and the income from a deferred gain on a sale/leaseback of one of the
    Company's Ashtabula, Ohio facilities previously used for storage of $0.1
    million. In 2003 the Company sold the Ashtabula facility and recorded a gain
    of $1.0 million and deferred the gain on the leaseback portion to coincide
    with the term of the lease, which was five years with a five-year renewal
    option.
 
(2) These gains were financial settlements from Boeing Commercial Airplane Group
    relating to Boeing's failure to meet minimum order requirements under terms
    of a long-term agreement between RTI and Boeing. The long-term agreement
    between RTI and Boeing expired December 31, 2003.
 
(3) This gain was due to the receipt of a common stock distribution in
    connection with the demutualization of one of the Company's insurance
    carriers.
 
NOTE 10-- LONG-TERM DEBT:
 
     At December 31, 2004, the Company maintained a credit agreement entered
into on April 26, 2002, which provides a $100 million three-year unsecured
revolving credit facility. The Company can borrow up to the lesser of $100
million or a borrowing base equal to the sum of 85% of qualifying accounts
receivable and 60% of qualifying inventory subject to terms of the credit
agreement disclosed below.
 
     Under the terms of the facility, the Company, at its option, will be able
to borrow at (a) a base rate (which is the higher of PNC Bank's prime rate or
the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% per annum), or (b) LIBOR plus a
spread (ranging from 1.0% to 2.25%) determined by the ratio of the Company's
consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization. The credit agreement contains restrictions, among
others, on the minimum shareholders' equity required, the minimum cash flow
required, and the maximum leverage ratio permitted. At December 31, 2004, there
was $4.2 million of standby
 
                                        23

 
letters of credit outstanding under the facility, the Company believes it was in
compliance with all covenants, and had a borrowing capacity equal to $33.8
million.
 
     The Company generated net interest income in 2004 of $0.1 million as cash
deposits and resulting interest income exceeded bank fees on the unused
facility. Net interest expense in 2003 and 2002 equaled $0.2 million and $0.4
million, respectively. The Company had no bank debt at December 31 for any of
the balance sheets presented in this report.

     Included in the aggregate disclosures above are four plans for which the
projected benefit obligation for each plan exceeds the fair value of each plan's
assets at December 31, 2004 by $25.1 million.
 
     The Company froze benefits under one of its defined benefit plans, The
TRADCO Pension Plan, effective June 30, 2004 and replaced it by enhancing an
existing 401(k) Plan. In the case of a second plan, the Eligible Salaried Plan,
the termination of the DOE contract at Ashtabula (see Note 17) resulted in an
elimination of future services earlier than expected. As a result, the Plan was
accounted for as curtailed at December 31, 2004. The
 
                                        24

 
effect of the TRADCO curtailment was a charge to operating income of $37
thousand, which was partially offset by a gain on the Eligible Salaried Plan of
$33 thousand.

     The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans
was $110 million and $103.4 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
 
     Qualified domestic pension plan benefits comprise 100% of the projected
benefit obligation in each of the years 2004 and 2003. Benefits for unionized
pension participants are generally determined based on an amount for years of
service. Benefits for salaried participants are generally based on participants'
years of service and compensation.
 
     The Company did not make a cash contribution in 2004. In 2003 the Company
contributed $3.0 million to its deferred benefit plans. The 2003 cash
contribution occurred as a result of contributing the proceeds derived from the
sale of stock acquired under the demutualization of one of the Company's
insurance carriers.
 
     Assumptions used in the determination of the benefit obligations and other
postretirement obligations include the following:
 


                                       BENEFIT

                                        25

 
     The discount rate is a significant factor in determining the amounts
reported. A one quarter percent change in the discount rate of 5.75% at December
31, 2004 would have the following effect in millions of dollars:
 


                                                              -.25%   +.25%

Expected return on plan assets..............................   8.5%    8.5%    9.0%

 
     In determining the expected return on plan assets, the Company considers
the relative weighting of plan assets, the historical performance of total plan
assets and individual asset classes, economic and other indicators of future
performance. Additionally, the Company may consult with and consider the
information available from financial and other professionals in forecasting an
appropriate return.
 
     Management of the plan assets includes consideration of the needs of
diversification to reduce interest rate and market risk and liquidity to meet
immediate and future benefit payments.
 
     The allocation of pension plan assets is as follows:
 


                                                                ACTUAL

                                                              2004   2003

                                                              100%   100%
                                                              ===    ===

 
     The Company's investment strategy provides that 40% to 60% of the plan
assets are invested in common stock, 40% to 60% in debt securities and 0% to 5%
in real estate investments. The policy of the Plan prohibits investment of any
equity securities in the Company's stock. Assets are evaluated once a quarter in
consideration of targets and relative risk and performance.
 
     The Company has not completed its evaluation for making a contribution to
its Retirement Plans in 2005. The Company evaluates contributions to its plans
based on a review of all investment alternatives including business investments.
The Company will make its investment decision based on a result, which is in the
best interest of the plans and the Company.
 
     The following benefit payments which will be paid by the Plan, reflect
expected future service as appropriate are:
 

                            
   2005                        $ 7,364
   2006                          7,471
   2007                          7,576
   2008                          7,781
   2009                          7,826
2010 - 2014                     42,387

 
     For those employees not covered by a defined benefit pension plan, the
Company sponsors a 401(k) plan whereby the Company may provide a match of
employee contributions. The Company's matching contributions for the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were approximately $394,000, $355,000 and
$398,000, respectively.
 
     The Company has a supplemental pension program ("Program") for certain key
employees. The Program is unfunded. The actuarial present value of the projected
benefit obligations related to the Program was $2.3 million
 
                                        26

 
and $3.0 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003 respectively. Accrued pension
costs, which are reflected as a liability in other non-current liabilities, were
$1.2 million and $0.7 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003 respectively. Net
periodic benefit costs related to the Program were $0.5 million for 2004, $0.4
million for 2003 and $0.2 million for 2002. Actuarial assumptions are the same
as those used for the Company's defined benefit plans except that the rate of
future bonus increases is equal to 2.0%.
 
     Postretirement Benefit Plans.  The ultimate costs of certain of the
Company's retiree health care plans are capped at predetermined out-of-pocket
spending limits. The annual rate of increase in the per capita costs for these
plans is limited to the predetermined spending cap. As of December 31, 2004 and
2003, the predetermined limits had been reached and, as a result, increases in
claim cost rates will have no impact on the reported accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation or net periodic expense.
 
     The following benefit payments which reflect future participants retired
times the cap in effect in 2004 are expected as follows. All of the benefit
payments are expected to be paid from company assets. These estimates are based
on current benefit plan coverages and, in accordance with the Company's rights
under the plan, these coverages may be modified, reduced or terminated in the
future.
 

                            
   2005                        $ 1,866
   2006                          1,881
   2007                          1,894
   2008                          1,915
   2009                          1,934
2010 - 2014                     10,096

 
     In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Act") was signed into law. The Act incorporates
a plan sponsor subsidy based on a percentage of a beneficiary's annual
prescription drug benefits, within certain limits, and opportunity for a retiree
to obtain prescription drug benefits under Medicare.
 
     Since the Company has had an established cap on its postretirement medical
benefits, any reductions in postretirement benefit costs resulting from the Act
are not expected to be material although the Company will evaluate the effect of
the Act during the two year transitional period provided under the Act.
 
NOTE 12-- LEASES:
 
     The Company and its subsidiaries have entered into various operating and
capital leases for the use of certain equipment, principally office equipment
and vehicles. The operating leases generally contain renewal options and provide
that the lessee pay insurance and maintenance costs. The total rental expense
under operating leases amounted to $4.0 million in 2004, $3.3 million in 2003
and $2.9 million in 2002. Amounts recognized as capital lease obligations are
reported in other accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheet.
 
     The Company's future minimum commitments under operating and capital leases
for years after 2004 are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 13-- BILLINGS IN EXCESS OF COSTS AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS:
 
     The Company reported a liability for billings in excess of costs and
estimated earnings of $4.7 million as of December 31, 2004 and $7.5 million as
of December 31, 2003. These amounts primarily represent payments, received in
advance from energy market customers on long-term orders, which the Company has

NOTE 15-- TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES:
 
     In accordance with a stock purchase agreement dated October 1, 2004 the
Company purchased all of the shares of Claro Precision, Inc., from Mr.
Jean-Louis Mourain and Mr. Daniel Molina. The purchase agreement provided for a
lease agreement whereby the Company would lease space in two buildings for three
years from October 1, 2004 with an option to extend for an additional three
years. The annual rental is approximately $160,000 at current exchange rates.
Approximately $40,000 was incurred in the 2004 financial statements. Mr. Mourain
was engaged by the Company as a consultant and Mr. Molina was made President of
Claro Precision, Inc. The Company believes that the rental cost is
representative of market conditions around the Montreal area.
 
     In accordance with the purchase agreement of Reamet S.A. located in
Villette, France from December of 2000, the Company was obligated to acquire a
residence located on the previously acquired land. The owner of the residence
and his immediate family have been involved in the management of the business
before and since the acquisition. The residence was acquired for $581,000 (the
fair value as appraised) including closing costs in February 2004. The Company
had previously disclosed that the residence was worth approximately $500,000
without closing costs.
 
     There were no related party transactions in 2003 and 2002.
 
NOTE 16-- SEGMENT REPORTING:
 
     The Company's reportable operating segments are the Titanium Group and the
Fabrication and Distribution Group.
 
     The Titanium Group manufactures and sells a wide range of titanium mill
products to a customer base consisting primarily of manufacturing and
fabrication companies in the aerospace and nonaerospace markets. Titanium mill
products consist of basic mill shapes such as ingot, slab, bloom, billet, bar,
plate and sheet. Titanium mill products are sold primarily to customers such as
metal fabricators, forge shops and, to a lesser extent, metal distribution
companies. Titanium mill products are usually raw or starting material for these
customers, who then form, fabricate or further process mill products into
finished or semi-finished components or parts. The Titanium Group includes the
activities related to the clean up and remediation of a former titanium
extrusion facility operated by the Company under a contract from the U.S.
Department of Energy.
 
     The Fabrication & Distribution Group is engaged primarily in the
fabrication of titanium, specialty metals and steel products, including pipe and
engineered tubular products, for use in the oil and gas and geo-thermal energy
industries; hot and superplastically formed parts; and cut, forged, extruded and
rolled shapes; and
 
                                        28

 
commercially pure titanium strip and welded tube for aerospace and nonaerospace
applications. This segment also provides warehousing, distribution, finishing,
cut-to-size and just-in-time delivery services of titanium, steel and other
metal products. Claro Precision, Inc., which was acquired in the fourth quarter
of 2004 is reported in this group.
 
     Intersegment sales are accounted for at prices which are generally
established by reference to similar transactions with unaffiliated customers.
Reportable segments are measured based on segment operating income after an
allocation of certain corporate items such as general corporate overhead and
expenses. Assets of general corporate activities include unallocated cash and
short-term investments, and deferred taxes.
 
     On January 1, 2003 the Company realigned its two operating segments to
better reflect its strategy for achieving higher value-added sales. Prior period
information presented herein has been restated to reflect this realignment.
Included in the realignment was the transfer from the Titanium Group to the
Fabrication & Distribution Group of the Company's commercially pure products
business, grinding operations at the Company's Washington, MO., facility and
marketing and sales responsibility for most sheet and plate products.
 
     Segment information has been restated to eliminate the effect of
discontinued operations.
 
     Segment information for the three years ended December 31, 2004 is as
follows:

     In the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, export sales were
$43.3 million, $43.3 million, and $46.1 million, respectively, principally to
customers in Western Europe.
 
     Substantially all of the Company's sales and operating revenues are
generated from its U.S. and European operations. A significant portion of the
Company's sales are made to customers in the aerospace industry. The
concentration of aerospace customers may expose the Company to cyclical, credit
and other risks generally associated with the aerospace industry. In the three
years ended December 31, 2004, no single customer accounted for as much as 10%
of consolidated sales, although Boeing Company, Airbus and their subcontractors
together consume in excess of 10% of the Company's sales and are the ultimate
consumers of a significant portion of the Company's commercial aerospace
products. Trade accounts receivable are generally not secured or collateralized.
 
NOTE 17-- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
     In connection with the 1990 Reorganization, the Company agreed to indemnify
USX and Quantum against liabilities related to their ownership of RMI and its
immediate predecessor, Reactive Metals, Inc., which was formed by USX and
Quantum in 1964.
 
     From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation relating to claims
arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. In our opinion,
the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from these matters will have no
significant effect on our consolidated financial statements. Given the critical
nature of many of the aerospace end uses for the Company's products, including
specifically their use in critical rotating parts of gas turbine engines, the
Company maintains aircraft products liability insurance of $250 million, which
includes grounding liability.
 
  Environmental Matters
 
     The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations as well as
various health and safety laws and regulations that are subject to frequent
modifications and revisions. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and
2002, the Company spent approximately $1.2 million, $1.0 million and $1.1
million, respectively, for environmental remediation, compliance, and related
services. While the costs of compliance for these matters have not had a
material adverse impact on the Company in the past, it is impossible to
accurately predict the ultimate effect these changing laws and regulations may
have on the Company in the future. The Company continues to evaluate its
obligations for environmental related costs on a quarterly basis and makes
adjustments in accordance with provisions of Statement of Position No. 96-1,
"Environmental Remediation Liabilities".
 
     The Company is involved in investigative or cleanup projects under federal
or state environmental laws at a number of waste disposal sites, including the
Fields Brook Superfund Site and the Ashtabula River Area of
 
                                        31

 
Concern. Given the status of the proceedings with respect to these sites,
ultimate investigative and remediation costs cannot presently be accurately
predicted, but could, in the aggregate be material. Based on the information
available regarding the current ranges of estimated remediation costs at
currently active sites, and what the Company believes will be its ultimate share
of such costs, provisions for environmental-related costs have been recorded.
 
     Given the status of the proceedings at certain of these sites, and the
evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations, and remediation techniques,
the Company's ultimate obligation for investigative and remediation costs cannot
be predicted. It is the Company's policy to recognize environmental costs in its
financial statements when an obligation becomes probable and a reasonable
estimate of exposure can be determined.
 
     At December 31, 2004, the amount accrued for future environmental-related
costs was $3.8 million. Of the total amount accrued at December 31, 2004, $0.6
million is expected to be paid out during 2005 and is included in the other
accrued liabilities line of the balance sheet. The remaining $3.2 million is
recorded in other non-current liabilities.
 
     Based on available information, RMI believes that its share of potential
environmental-related costs, before expected contributions from third parties,
is in a range from $2.9 to $7.7 million in the aggregate. The Company has
included in its other noncurrent assets $2.2 million as expected contributions
from third parties. This amount represents the contributions from third parties
in conjunction with the Company's most likely estimate of $3.8 million. These
third parties include prior owners of RMI property and prior customers of RMI,
that are expected to partially reimburse the Company for their portion of
certain environmental-related costs. The Company has been receiving
contributions from such third parties for a number of years as partial
reimbursement for costs incurred by the Company.
 
     As these proceedings continue toward final resolution, amounts in excess of
those already provided may be necessary to discharge the Company from its
obligations for these sites.
 
  Former Ashtabula Extrusion Plant
 
     The Company's former extrusion plant in Ashtabula, Ohio was used to extrude
uranium under a contract with the DOE from 1962 through 1990. In accordance with
that agreement, the DOE retained responsibility for the cleanup of the facility
when it was no longer needed for processing government material. Processing
ceased in 1990, and in 1993 RMI was chosen as the prime contractor for the
remediation and restoration of the site by the DOE. Since then, contaminated
buildings have been removed and approximately two-thirds of the site has been
free released by the Ohio Department of Health, to RMI, at DOE expense.
 
     In December, 2003, in accordance with its terms, the Department of Energy
terminated the contract "for convenience." It is not known at this time what
role, if any, RMI will play in the balance of the cleanup although discussions
are ongoing. Remaining soil removal is expected to take approximately 18-24
months. As license holder and owner of the site, RMI is responsible to the state
of Ohio for complying with soil and water regulations. However, remaining
cleanup cost is expected to be borne by the DOE in accordance with their
contractual obligation.
 
  Gain Contingency
 
     As part of Boeing Commercial Airplane Group's long-term supply agreement
with the Company, Boeing was required to order a minimum of 3.25 million pounds
of titanium in each of the five years beginning in 1999. They failed to do so in
all five years of the contract.
 
     The Company made claim against Boeing in accordance with the provisions of
the long-term contract for each of the years. Revenue under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 ("SFAS No. 5"), "Accounting
for Contingencies" was deemed not realized until Boeing settled the claims.
Accordingly, the claims were treated as a gain contingency dependent upon
realization.
 
     In accordance with the application of SFAS No. 5, the Company recorded
income of $6 million in each of 2000 and 2001, approximately $7 million in 2002,
$8 million in 2003 and $9 million in 2004. In all years, revenue recognized from
these cash receipts was presented as Other Income in the financial statements.
The agreement with Boeing has since expired as the final payment was received in
2004.
 
                                        32

 
  Other
 
     The Company is also the subject of, or a party to, a number of other
pending or threatened legal actions involving a variety of matters incidental to
its business.
 
     The ultimate resolution of these foregoing contingencies could,
individually or in the aggregate, be material to the consolidated financial
statements. However, management believes that the Company will remain a viable
and competitive enterprise even though it is possible that these matters could
be resolved unfavorably.
 
     Other accrued liabilities have increased by $3.3 million to $6.5 million.
The principal components of the increase are increased audit and legal fees
relating to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance of $2.4 million and liabilities of Claro
Precision, Inc., acquired in the year of $0.4 million.
 
NOTE 18-- STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD PLANS:
 
2004 STOCK PLAN
 
     The 2004 Stock Plan, which was approved by a vote of the Company's
shareholders at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, replaced the 1995 Stock
Plan and the 2002 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan.
 
     The plan limits the number of shares available for issuance to 2,500,000
(plus any shares covered by options already outstanding under the 1995 Plan and
2002 Plan that expire or are terminated without being exercised and any shares
delivered in connection with the exercise of any outstanding awards under the
1995 Plan and 2002 Plan) during its ten-year term and limits the number of
shares available for grants of restricted stock to 1,250,000. The plan expires
after ten years and requires the exercise price of stock options, stock
appreciation rights and other similar instruments awarded under the plan may not
be less than the fair market value of RTI stock on the date of the grant award.
 
     The plan prohibits the repricing of stock options and stock appreciation
rights. A committee appointed by the Board of Directors administers the Plan,
and determines the type or types of grants to be made under the Plan and sets
forth in each such grant the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to it,
including, in certain cases, provisions relating to a possible change in control
of the Company.
 
     During 2004, 184,000 option shares were granted at an exercise price of
$14.96. In 2003, 207,750 option shares were granted at an exercise price of
$10.22. In 2002, 238,000 option shares were granted at an exercise price of
$9.575. All option exercise prices were equal to the common stock's fair market
value on the date of the grant. Options are for a term of ten years from the
date of the grant, and vest ratably over the three-year period beginning with
the date of the grant. 181,400 of the option shares granted in 2004 were
outstanding at December 31, 2004.
 
     During 2004, 2003 and 2002, 87,430 shares, 93,508 shares and 68,912 shares,
respectively, of restricted stock were granted. Compensation expense equal to
the fair market value on the date of the grant is recognized ratably over the
vesting period of each grant which is typically five years.

NOTE 19-- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
 
     In December of 2004, the Company terminated operations at the Company's
Tube Mill operations as it had determined that its raw material source was
inadequate to maintain commercially viable operations. The operating results of
the Tube Mill Operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all
the periods presented. The Tube Mill Operation was included in the Company's F&D
segment. In the fourth quarter of 2004 the Company impaired certain assets,
terminated operations and provided for certain contingencies which
 
                                        34

 
resulted in an after-tax charge of $692 thousand. The remaining residual assets
were assumed by other RTI subsidiaries.

(1) Net income from continuing operations included the favorable effect of $5.9
    million and $5.2 million, net of tax in 2004 and 2003, respectively in
    liquidated damages from Boeing. The liquidated damages were a result of
    Boeing's failure to meet minimum order requirements under a long-term
    purchase agreement that expired on December 31, 2003. The first quarter 2004
    payment was the final payment under the agreement.
 
                                        35

 
(2) Net income was unfavorably affected by $.8 million due to the discontinuance
    of operations at the Company's Tube Mill Operations. The effect of the
    discontinuance of operations is more fully described in Note 19.
 
(3) Operating income was favorably affected by a gain of approximately $1
    million from the sale of one of the Company's Ashtabula, Ohio facilities
    previously used for storage.
 
NOTE 21-- RECLASSIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY AND GOODWILL (IN
         THOUSANDS):
 
     The Company had classified its environmental liabilities net of recoveries
from third parties in prior periods. For the period ended December 31, 2004 the
Company has shown environmental liabilities gross without recoveries from third
parties. It has shown the amount of recoveries from third parties as other
non-current assets. For comparative purposes the Company has reclassified prior
periods.
 
     The Company had included in other accrued liabilities goodwill related to
the 1997 purchase of its 90% ownership in Galt Alloys, Inc., of $1,560. In the
fourth quarter the Company reclassified goodwill previously shown as other
accrued liabilities.
 
     The effect of the above reclassifications for the prior period 12/31/03 is

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

         The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's
Disclosure Committee and the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this amended annual report on
Form 10-K/A. Based upon that evaluation, including all matters discussed in the
paragraphs below, they have concluded that as of December 31, 2004, the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that
all material information required to be disclosed in the reports that the
Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the
rules and the forms of the SEC.

         As set forth in detail below, management has now completed its
assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the year ended
December 31, 2004, as required by Item 308 of Regulation S-K and has determined
that it had several control deficiencies that each represented a material
weakness. In light of the deficiencies described below, the Company performed
additional post-closing procedures to ensure its consolidated financial
statements, reported and filed on Form 10-K on April 14, 2005, were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly,
management believes that the Company's financial statements as presented in Item
8 of the Form 10-K filed on April 14 fairly present, in all material respects,
the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
periods presented.

         Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX 404") and related
rules of the SEC requires management of public companies to periodically assess
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and to annually
report their conclusions, including the disclosure of all material weaknesses in
internal control over financial reporting. In addition, SOX 404 requires the
Company to provide a report of its independent registered public accounting firm
on management's annual assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.

         As an "accelerated filer," the Company was required to comply with SOX
404 for the year ended December 31, 2004, and thus management's report on its
internal control assessment, as well as the attestation report of the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm on management's annual assessment,
as of the end of the year 2004, was to have been included in the Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2004. Because management had not completed its
review and report by the Form 10-K original due date of March 16, 2005, the
Company filed a Form 12b-25 on March 17, 2005, disclosing, among other things,
that its review and report were not completed. The Company did complete it's
year end closing process and filed its Form 10-K on April 14, 2005. However, as
of the date of the filing of the Form 10-K, management had still not completed
its report and review on its internal control for the year 



                                       37


ended 2004, and so indicated in the Form 10-K. Management has now completed 
that review and reports its conclusions as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

         Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting. Management has assessed the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004. In making its assessment of internal control over financial
reporting, management used the criteria described in "Internal
Control--Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").

         A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

         Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

         A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected. The following material weaknesses have been identified by
management:

1)   As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain a sufficient 
     complement of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge,
     experience and training in the application of generally accepted accounting
     principles commensurate with the Company's financial reporting
     requirements. This material weakness contributed to the following 
     individual material weaknesses:


                                       38


     a)   The Company did not maintain effective controls over account 
          reconciliations or journal entries. Specifically, the Company did not
          have effective controls over the preparation, review and approval of
          certain account reconciliations or journal entries for balance sheet
          or income statement accounts including: (i) payroll and payroll
          related accounts, (ii) import duty recovery accounts, and (iii) 
          workers compensation accrual accounts. These control deficiencies
          resulted in audit adjustments to the Company's consolidated financial
          statements.

     b)   The Company did not maintain effective controls over the selection and
          application of generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
          Specifically, the Company incorrectly applied GAAP for: (i)
          supplemental employment and other post-retirement benefit liabilities
          and expense by incorrectly accounting for unvested vacation and
          holiday pay expenses and incorrectly accounting for its other
          post-retirement benefit liability, (ii) leases by depreciating
          leasehold improvements over a period of time greater than the lease
          term, (iii) business combinations by incorrectly determining the
          appropriate value of stock used in acquisitions, and (iv) foreign
          currency translation by incorrectly translating the financial
          statements of a foreign subsidiary. This control deficiency resulted
          in audit adjustments to the Company's consolidated financial
          statements.

     c)   The Company did not maintain effective controls over consolidation and
          elimination adjustments. Specifically, the Company did not have
          controls over the completeness or accuracy of consolidating
          information to ensure that all required consolidation and elimination
          adjustments were prepared, approved and recorded, including the proper
          accounting for a minority interest. This control deficiency resulted
          in audit adjustments to the Company's consolidated financial
          statements.

     d)   The Company did not maintain effective controls over the segregation 
          of duties. Specifically, certain of the Company's personnel had
          incompatible duties that permitted unrestricted access to various
          financial application programs and data beyond that needed to perform
          their individual job responsibilities, nor were there effective
          controls in place to monitor user access. These applications impact
          all business processes, including accounts receivable, accounts
          payable, payroll and inventory. This control deficiency did not result
          in a misstatement to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

     e)   The Company did not maintain effective controls over the timely and 
          accurate preparation and review of its financial statements in
          accordance with GAAP. Specifically, the Company did not have effective
          controls over the process for identifying and accumulating all
          required supporting information to ensure the completeness and
          accuracy of its footnote disclosures, and to ensure that balances in
          the financial statements agreed to supporting details. These control
          deficiencies resulted in audit adjustments to the Company's
          consolidated financial statements.


                                       39

     f)   The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain 
          spreadsheets. Specifically, the Company's controls over the
          completeness, accuracy, validity, and restricted access and the review
          of certain spreadsheets used in the period-end financial statement
          preparation and reporting process were either not designed
          appropriately or did not operate as designed. These control
          deficiencies resulted in audit adjustments to the Company's
          consolidated financial statements.

     g)   The Company did not maintain effectively designed controls over the
          accounting for income taxes including income taxes payable, deferred
          income tax assets and liabilities and the related income tax
          provision. Specifically, due to an insufficient complement of
          personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge,
          experience and training in accounting for income taxes in accordance
          with GAAP, a lack of clarity in the roles and responsibilities related
          to income tax accounting, insufficient and/or ineffective review and
          approval practices, and the lack of internal control and review
          processes to ensure the accuracy of data used in income tax
          computations, the Company was unable to accurately determine its
          income tax liability and related provision. This control deficiency
          resulted in audit adjustments to the Company's consolidated financial
          statements.

     Each of these control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of
     account balances or disclosures that would result in a material
     misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would
     not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined
     that each control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

2)   As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain effective control
     over the effectiveness of controls at two third-party service
     organizations. The service organizations process payroll for certain
     Company employees as well as health care claims for both Company employees
     and retirees. Such processes are considered part of the Company's internal
     control over financial reporting specifically as to the existence and
     completeness of payroll and health care claims liabilities as well as the
     related expenses. Management was unable to obtain evidence about the
     effectiveness of controls over financial reporting at these service
     organizations which represents a control deficiency. This control
     deficiency did not result in a misstatement to the Company's consolidated
     financial statements. However, it could result in the misstatement of
     payroll and health care claims liabilities as well as the related expenses
     that would result in a material misstatement to annual or interim financial
     statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management
     determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

3)   As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain effective control
     over the accounting for property, plant and equipment. Specifically, the
     Company's controls to ensure the complete and accurate processing of
     additions, disposals, maintenance of useful lines and the calculation of
     depreciation were not designed effectively. This control deficiency did not
     result in a misstatement to the Company's consolidated financial
     statements. However, it could result in a misstatement of property, plant
     and equipment and the related depreciation expense that would result in a
     material misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that would
     not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management determined that this
     control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

4)   As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain an effective control
     environment based on criteria established in "Internal Control--Integrated
     Framework" issued by the 


                                       40


     COSO. The financial reporting organizational structure was not adequate to
     support the size, complexity, operating activities or locations of the
     Company. Deficiencies, such as an insufficient complement of personnel with
     an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in
     the application of generally accepted accounting principles have resulted
     in adjustments to the consolidated financial statements as discussed in
     item 1 above. Item 1, together with the material weaknesses described in
     items 2 and 3 above, indicate that the Company did not maintain an
     effective control environment. These control deficiencies could result in a
     misstatement of accounts and disclosures that would result in a material
     misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that would not be
     prevented or detected. Accordingly, management determined that this control
     deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

         Because of the material weaknesses described above, management has
concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based upon the criteria established
in "Internal Control - Integrated Framework" issued by COSO.

         We have excluded Claro Precision, Inc. from our assessment of internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 because it was
acquired by the Company through a purchase business combination in October
2004. Claro Precision Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and
total revenues represent approximately 9% and approximately 2%, respectively, of
the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the
year-ended December 31, 2004. Our conclusion in this Annual Report on Form 10K/A
regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2004 does not include the internal control over financial
reporting of Claro Precision, Inc.

         Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 has been audited by the
Company's independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their
report which appears herein.


MANAGEMENT'S REMEDIATION INITIATIVES.

         The Company is implementing enhancements and changes to its internal
control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance that errors and
control deficiencies in its accounting will not recur. These remediation
initiatives, some of which have already commenced, and others that are intended
to be implemented during the course of 2005, represent the Company's plans to
remediate the material weaknesses identified above, with some of the remediation
plans impacting only one material weakness, while other remediation plans will
remedy several of the material weaknesses after their implementation.

Period-ending financial reporting process, identified as material weaknesses 
1(a) through (g) above:

         The Company's planned remediation measures are intended to address
material weaknesses in internal controls related to the period-end financial
reporting process that have the potential of preventing the accurate preparation
and review of the Company's consolidated financial statements in future
financial periods. The Company's planned remediation measures include the
following:

o    The Company plans to implement new and enhanced procedures to ensure that
     non-routine transactions are identified and reviewed during the period-end
     financial reporting process to ensure proper accounting treatment. 

o    The Company plans to enhance its period-end closing procedures by
     implementing critical reviews of account reconciliations, controls over
     spreadsheets and standardized checklists to ensure such procedures are
     consistently and effectively applied throughout the organization. In 
     addition, the Company has enhanced supervisory reviews over journal 
     entries, including non-standard journal entries.

o    Spreadsheet Controls:

     -   Management plans to implement the appropriate end user computing
         controls and to ensure that spreadsheets used in the period-end
         financial reporting process are appropriately controlled.


                                       41


o    Period End Consolidation Process

     -   The Company plans on implementing an automated consolidation system. 
         In the interim, the Company is increasing its supervisory review of 
         the consolidation process.

o    Segregation of Duties:

     -   Management plans to implement the following remediation activities:

         o     Reduced the number of business information system ("SAP") users 
               with unrestricted access

         o     Implemented a plan to utilize an automated review of all SAP user
               accesses

         o     Expand the use of automated controls to monitor and detect
               inappropriate access and transaction execution within the
               information system

         o     Review the organizational structure to implement compensating
               or redundant controls by supervisory personnel in those 
               situations where segregation of duties are not adequately
               established due to limited resources

o    Tax Accounting:

     -   The Company plans to implement the following remediation activities:

         o     Create and staff the position of tax accounting manager in the
               accounting and finance organization to provide oversight over the
               income tax accounting performed by the organization and 
               strengthen the income tax accounting function within the
               accounting and finance organization

         o     Implement definitive standards and procedures for the detailed
               review and approval of documentation and reconciliations
               supporting all tax accounts and related journal entries by
               subject matter experts

         o     Enhance internal audit procedures performed over the accounting
               for income taxes

o    External Financial Statement Preparation and Reporting Process

     -   The Company's planned remediation measures are intended to address
         material weaknesses related to the external financial statement
         preparation and reporting process. The Company plans to implement the
         following remediation measures:

         o     Enhance the communication and distribution of its accounting
               policies and procedures

         o     Develop a process to more effectively accumulate and analyze 
               information required for financial statement disclosures
 
     -   Personnel

         o     The Company plans to ensure that the Company will have sufficient
               personnel with knowledge, experience and training in the
               application of 


                                       42


               generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with the
               Company's financial reporting requirements by performing the
               following:

               o  The Company's chief financial officer, with assistance from
                  senior financial staff, will review and adapt the overall
                  organizational design and reporting structure of the finance
                  organization within the Company to ensure the appropriately
                  skilled and adequate staffing to support the Company's
                  financial reporting responsibilities


               o  Retain and to continue to retain the services of outside
                  consultants, other than the Company's independent registered
                  public accounting firm, with relevant accounting experience,
                  skills and knowledge to work under the supervision and
                  direction of the Company's management and to supplement the
                  Company's existing accounting personnel

Third Party Service Providers, identified as material weakness 2 above:

         To address the material weakness related to management's inability to
evaluate controls over financial reporting at the two third party service
organizations, the Company will use its best efforts to pursue one of the
following three courses of action; (a) obtain appropriate Type 2 SAS 70 service
auditor's reports from the service organizations; (b) perform an evaluation of
the relevant internal control over financial reporting at the service
organizations; or (c) replace the service organizations with other third-party
service organizations that are able to provide Type 2 SAS 70 service auditor's
reports. In the interim, the Company conducted an operation and claims review 
as appropriate.

Accounting for Property, Plant, and Equipment, identified as material weakness 3
above:

         To address the material weakness related to the controls over
management's fixed asset accounting, the Company plans to implement its SAP
Asset Accounting module during the second quarter of 2005. During the continued
use of the existing system, the Company plans to implement effective general IT
controls over the system and continue substantive testing of Property, Plant,
Equipment and related account transactions and balances.


Control Environment, identified as material weakness 4 above:

         To address material weaknesses related to the control environment, the
Company's actual and planned remediation measures include the following;

o    The Company will begin a process to determine the appropriate balance
     between utilizing third party internal audit outsourcing resources and
     those resources which should be internally developed and hired. The Company
     has already begun to create, and will continue to sufficiently staff, its
     own internal audit department to assist in enhancing the existing internal
     controls and to provide effective internal control over its financial
     reporting.

o    The Company's chief financial officer, with assistance from senior
     financial staff, will review and adapt the overall organizational design
     and reporting structure of the finance organization within the Company to
     ensure the appropriately skilled and adequate staffing to support the
     Company's financial reporting responsibilities.

o    Centralize the internal controls affecting payroll processing for the
     Titanium Group.


                                       43


o    Ensure that the Company will have sufficient personnel with knowledge, 
     experience and training in the application of generally accepted accounting
     principles commensurate with the Company's financial reporting requirements

o    Retain and to continue to retain the services of outside consultants, 
     other than the Company's independent registered public accounting firm,
     with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge, to work under
     the supervision and direction of the Company's management, and to
     supplement the Company's existing accounting personnel.



CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

         The discussion above under "Management's Remediation Initiatives"
describes the material planned changes to the Company's internal control over
financial reporting subsequent to the year-ended December 31, 2004.

         There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting 
during the fourth quarter in 2004.
