The above allocation of total acquisition costs is preliminary and based upon
the estimate of fair values as determined under SFAS No. 141 including
inventory, property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangibles and certain
liabilities. The Company expects to finalize this allocation in the second
quarter of 2006 including final deferred income tax amounts.

Based upon the fair value of assets and liabilities compared to the total
purchase price, there is an excess of fair value of assets and liabilities over
purchase price, or "negative goodwill" of $3,000. Pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 141, the Company has recorded the contingent consideration as a
deferred credit at March 31, 2006. There was no negative goodwill remaining

                                       4


after recording this deferred credit. When the contingency is resolved and
consideration is issued or becomes issuable, any difference between the fair
value of the contingent consideration issued or issuable and the deferred credit
will be accounted for as follows:

o    Any excess of the fair value of the contingent consideration issued or
     issuable over the amount of the deferred credit will be recognized as
     additional cost of the acquired entity.

o    Any excess of the deferred credit over the fair value of the consideration
     issued or issuable will first be recognized as a pro rata reduction of the
     amounts that were initially assigned to eligible acquired assets, after
     which any remaining difference would be recognized as an extraordinary
     gain.

Identifiable intangibles as of March 31, 2006 represent the fair market value of
alloys, customer contracts and relationships and trade names and trademarks. The
fair market values were determined using a discount rate to compute the present
value of the income or cost savings of the identifiable intangible assets. A
discount rate of 17% was used. The identifiable intangibles of $2,500 consist of
alloys of $100, customer contracts and relationships of $2,100 and trade names
and trademarks of $300. Each of the identifiable intangibles will be amortized
over 20 years.
