UNIVERSAL STAINLESS & ALLOY PRODUCTS, INC. NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1) The accompanying unaudited, consolidated condensed financial statements of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, balance sheets as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, all of which were of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the consolidated results of operations and of cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 2) In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company adopted the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB 101). As a result of the adoption, the Company's statements of operations and cash flows for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 have been restated to include the effect of conforming to SAB 101. Previously reported net sales and net income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 were $19,012,000 and $1,366,000, and $37,101,000 and $2,262,000, respectively. The application of the SEC's guidance to language in the Company's previous Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale required Universal Stainless to defer revenue recognition until cash was collected, even though risk of loss passed to the buyer at time of shipment. In the fourth quarter of 2000, management modified the Company's Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale to more closely reflect the substance of its sales transactions and permit the recognition of revenue on a basis consistent with past practices. 3) The reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding utilized for the earnings per common share computations are as follows: For the For the Three-month period ended Six-month period ended June 30, June 30, 2001 2000 2001 2000 --------- --------- --------- --------- Weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding 6,081,274 6,072,564 6,081,251 6,072,540 Assuming exercise of stock options and warrants reduced by the number of shares which could have been purchased with the proceeds from exercise of such stock options and warrants 22,439 3,907 16,053 3,738 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, as adjusted 6,103,713 6,076,471 6,097,304 6,076,278 ========== ========== ========== ========== 5

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS During 2000, the Company adopted the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The application of the SEC's guidance to the language contained in the Company's Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale existing at the time of adoption required the Company to defer revenue until cash was collected, even though risk of loss passed to the buyer at time of shipment. This had the effect of deferring certain sale transactions previously recognized in 1999 into 2000. During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company modified its Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale to more closely reflect the substance of its sale transactions, which resulted in revenue being recorded at the time of shipment rather than when cash was received. Because this did not occur until the fourth quarter, the revenue and cost information for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 relates to cash collections. In order to facilitate analysis of the Company's results of operations, amounts in the table below summarize revenue and cost information based on shipments made by the Company in the respective quarter, rather than cash collected for 2000. Such amounts are then reconciled to reported amounts as necessary (dollars in thousands): For the For the Three-Month Period Ended Six-Month Period Ended June 30, June 30, 2001 2000 2001 2000 --------- -------- -------- -------- Net sales Stainless steel $21,200 $15,604 $38,623 $30,169 Tool steel 848 2,028 2,365 4,255 High-strength low alloy steel 1,103 427 1,768 986 High temperature alloy steel 326 398 935 765 Conversion services 693 448 1,564 788 Other 63 107 237 138 --------- -------- -------- -------- Net sales on shipments 24,233 19,012 45,492 37,101 Effect of accounting change -- (490) -- (809) --------- -------- -------- -------- Total net sales $24,233 18,522 $45,492 $36,292 --------- -------- -------- -------- Cost of products sold Raw materials 6,483 6,953 12,649 13,542 Other 12,724 8,274 23,679 17,088 --------- -------- -------- -------- Total cost of products shipped 19,207 15,227 36,328 30,630 Effect of accounting change -- 655 -- (21) --------- -------- -------- -------- Total cost of products sold 19,207 15,882 36,628 30,609 --------- -------- -------- -------- Selling and administrative expenses 1,816 1,433 3,374 2,535 --------- -------- -------- -------- Operating income from shipments 3,210 2,352 5,790 3,936 Effect of accounting change -- (1,145) -- (788) ========= ======== ======== ======== Operating income $ 3,210 $ 1,207 $ 5,790 $ 3,148 ========= ======== ======== ======== Three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the similar periods in 2000 The increase in net sales for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the similar periods in 2000 reflects substantially increased shipments to OEM and forging markets. This increase is primarily due to continued high levels of demand in the power generation, aerospace and petrochemical markets. This increase was partially offset by lower shipments of stainless steel commodity products and tool steel products as a result of increased imports and the slowing economy. The Company shipped approximately 12,300 tons and 9,700 tons for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 respectively, and 23,300 tons and 20,500 tons for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 7

Cost of products shipped, as a percentage of net sales on shipments, was 79.3% and 80.1% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and was 79.9% and 82.6% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. This decrease is primarily due to the impact of the mix of products shipped. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $383,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to June 30, 2000 and increased by $839,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to June 30, 2000. This is primarily due to higher bad debt expense resulting from negative economic impacts on certain steel industry customers and increased employment and insurance costs related to the increased level of business. Interest expense and other financing costs decreased by $71,000 in the three- month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 and decreased by $112,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. The decreases were primarily due to a reduction in debt levels between the periods. The effective income tax rate utilized in the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was 37.5% and 35.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rate utilized in the current period reflects the anticipated effect of the Company's permanent tax deductions against expected income levels in 2001. FINANCIAL CONDITION The Company has financed its 2001 operating activities through cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings from the PNC revolving line of credit and capitalized leases. At June 30, 2001, working capital approximated $25.9 million, as compared to $23.5 million at December 31, 2000. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities decreased from 3.2:1 at December 31, 2000 to 2.8:1 at June 30, 2001. The decrease in the ratio of current assets to current liabilities is primarily due to a decrease in cash, which was used to fund debt payments and an increase in liabilities to fund operations. The debt to capitalization was 15.3% at June 30, 2001 and 17% at December 31, 2000. The Company's capital expenditures approximated $2.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, which primarily related to the purchase of a new electro slag remelt furnace and the installation of the billet grinder and Oliver plate saw at the Bridgeville facility. At June 30, 2001, the Company had outstanding purchase commitments in addition to the expenditures incurred to date of approximately $2.2 million. These expenditures are expected to be funded substantially from internally generated funds and additional borrowings. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had $6.3 million available for borrowings under a revolving line of credit with PNC Bank. On June 29, 2001, the Company entered into a third amendment to the second amended and restated credit agreement with PNC Bank which amended the existing agreement to extend the term of the $6.5 million revolving credit facility to April 30, 2003. In July 2001, the Company entered into a supply contract agreement with Talley Metals Technology, Inc., a subsidiary of Carpenter Technologies, Inc., covering a period of at least 18 months. Under terms of the agreement, the Company will supply Talley Metals with an average of 1,250 tons of stainless reroll billet products per month. The value of the contract on a monthly basis will depend on product mix and key raw material prices. There were no shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company during the six- month period ended June 30, 2001. The Company is authorized to repurchase an additional 57,100 shares of Common Stock as of June 30, 2001. The Company anticipates that it will fund its 2001 working capital requirements, its capital expenditures and the stock repurchase program primarily from funds generated from operations and borrowings. The Company's long-term liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures, are expected to be financed by a combination of internally generated funds, borrowings and other sources of external financing if needed. 8

2001 OUTLOOK The Company estimates that its sales for the third quarter of 2001 will be between $20 and $24 million, versus sales of $19 million in the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2001 are currently projected to range from $0.27 to $0.32, compared with $0.24 reported in the third quarter of 2000 before the SAB 101 accounting adjustment. The following factors were considered in developing these estimates: . The Company's backlog approximated $40 million on June 30, 2001 as compared to $35 million on March 31, 2001. The mix of orders booked for delivery in the third quarter by market segment is in line with the 2001 second quarter shipments. . The Company believes that the high level of demand for its forging and OEM products will continue throughout 2001, while orders for its commodity and tool steel products are expected to remain at existing levels due to current economic conditions and imports. . The Company experienced a total of eight electrical curtailments in the second quarter, but was successful in rescheduling all affected production. The Company's third quarter estimates also take into account possible electrical curtailments in the summer months. Natural gas prices declined in the second quarter and are expected to remain at those levels in the third quarter. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 141 (FAS 141), "Business Combinations" and Statement No. 142 (FAS 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". These statements will be adopted in 2002 and are not expected to impact the Company's results of operations or financial condition. Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company has reviewed the status of its market risk and believes there are no significant changes from that disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. 9

Exhibit 10.2 Universal Stainless & Alloy Products Sales Agreement This AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the 1/st/ day of July, 2001, by and between UNIVERSAL STAINLESS & ALLOY PRODUCTS, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter "Universal") and TALLEY METALS TECHNOLOGY, a Carpenter Company (hereinafter "Talley Metals"). WITNESSETH: ----------- WHEREAS, Talley Metals desires to insure a supply of billets for use in its rolling and finishing operations; and WHEREAS, Universal desires to sell billets and allocate a portion of its monthly capacity to manufacture billets on a continuing basis; NOW, THEREFORE, Universal and Talley Metals the ("Parties" or separately "Party"), intending to be legally bound, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, agree as follows: 1. BILLET QUANTITIES During the term of this Agreement, Universal shall ----------------- sell to Talley Metals and Talley Metals shall purchase from Universal, stainless steel billets (hereinafter the "Billets") in an aggregate quantity, of no less than two million (2,000,000) pounds and no more than six million (6,000,000) pounds per month. On an annual basis Talley Metals purchases from Universal will average two million five hundred thousand pounds (2,500,000) pounds per month. 2. RESERVED CAPACITY Universal will set aside such capacity as necessary ----------------- to produce the billet quantities as ordered during the first week in any month for a shipment in the subsequent month, according to the terms of this Agreement. Talley Metals will give as much advanced notice as possible if the order quantity will vary significantly from month to month. Reserved capacity is based on heat-lot quantities. If product is rejected by Universal during processing, the order will be considered complete based on the shipped weight. 3. BILLET SIZES AND SPECIFICATIONS The Billets shall be provided by ------------------------------- Universal in the sizes and grades requested by Talley Metals' purchase orders and "Stainless grades" regularly produced by Universal and requested in accordance with the specifications set forth by Talley Metals and previously approved by Universal. The Billets shall be square, with rounded corners, in thickness of four and one-half (4.5") to eight (8") inches by ten (10") inches, and shall be delivered in such lengths as Talley Metals shall specify in its monthly purchase orders, but in no event shorter than twenty-two feet (22') or longer than forty feet (40'). Universal represents and warrants to Talley Metals that the Billets delivered by Universal pursuant to this Agreement have been produced in accordance with good mill practice with respect to dimensions, weight, straightness, 1

section, composition and mechanical properties and has been inspected to assure Billets will meet all applicable standard industry specifications and all of the specifications set forth in this Agreement and Talley Metals purchase orders. 4. BILLET PRICES Pricing will be based on Universal's offering to Talley ------------- metals dated 5/28/98 and 6/1/98. Exhibit "A" of this Agreement. Monthly adjustments to that offering will be made to address market changes in key raw material prices per existing formulas. Any price changes, outside established formulas to adjust for raw material price fluctuation, must be negotiated in good faith and agreed to in writing by both parties prior to implementation and be consistent with market conditions and price changes then common in the industry. 5. BILLET ORDER; DELIVERY ---------------------- (a) Talley Metals will place orders in heat lot quantities specifying grade, billet size, and requested delivery on their standard purchase order form. Orders will be acknowledged by Universal on their standard acknowledgement form. (b) The parties acknowledge that this Agreement has been entered into with the intention that Universal shall retain the capacity needed to supply Talley Metals with its desired quantity of Billets. Universal must report all material changes in their plans, forecast, etc. for manufacturing Billets to Talley Metals as soon as such plans are known. Talley Metals will advise Universal of any change to monthly purchases or changes in usage by grade as soon as such information is available. (c) The prices and delivery for Billets ordered outside of the first week of any calendar month shall be as agreed upon by the parties at the time of order placement. (d) The Billet prices in all cases shall be exclusive of freight and insurance, the payment of which shall be solely Talley Metals' responsibility. Billets are purchased F.O.B. Bridgeville, PA and Talley Metals accepts all risk of loss at that time. It is recognized that Billets are not accepted by Talley Metals until they have arrived at Talley metals and have been inspected to determine acceptability under quality standards specified in this Agreement. (e) Talley Metals guarantees the minimum order quantity of two million pounds (2,000,000) of Billet each month during the term of this Agreement. (f) Talley Metals purchase orders are placed upon the condition that Universal shall not assign it or any interest therein, including any payment due or to become due with respect thereto, and any assignment or any attempt to assign shall be void without Talley Metals prior written consent and that Talley Metals shall be entitled at all times, to setoff any 2

undisputed amounts owing from Universal to Talley against any amount due or owing Universal with respect to this order. 6. PAYMENT.

The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and ----- continue for a period of eighteen (18) months.

Neither party, however, shall be liable for delay in performance or for failure to render any performance under this Agreement (and without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such delay or failure shall be excused) when such delay or failure is caused by governmental regulations (whether or not valid, fire, strike, war, flood, accident, epidemic, embargo, appropriation of plant or product, in whole or in part by Federal or State authority and any other cause or causes, whether of like or different nature, beyond the reasonable control of such party; provided, however that notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, Talley Metals shall be entitled, in any such event, to purchase its required amounts in whole or in part from other vendors and, if necessary, to reduce its obligations hereunder in order to contract for such other supply requirements at such times that Universal cannot meet the supply requirements. Once events change allowing Universal to again supply Talley Metals, Talley Metals must do so in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Each party shall promptly notify the other of the occurrence (and the likelihoods of the occurrence) of any such event or condition and shall keep the other party fully informed of all relevant information. In the event Talley Metals purchases billets from another source under circumstances where Universal cannot or does supply the same, such purchases shall be counted for purposes of the purchase requirements and restriction set forth in this Agreement. 9.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party hereto will be permitted to make disclosures required by law. The parties also hereby agree that all designs, drawings, patterns or customer chemistries provided by or on behalf of Talley Metals to Universal or information or material regarding or relating to Talley Metals' customers shall be deemed "Confidential Information" of Talley Metals whether or not such information is marked confidential. 12.
