This Monthly Financial Report (the "Financial Report") is limited in scope,
covers a limited time period and has been prepared soley for purposes of
complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the United States Trustee's
Office of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
Wisconsin in Milwaukee (the "Trustee"). Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc's
("Keystone") wholly-owned subsidiary, Engineered Wire Products, Inc. ("EWP") has
not filed for protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code, and financial information for EWP has been omitted from the
Financial Report. The Financial Report is unaudited and does not purport to show
the financial statements of Keystone or any of its subsidiaries in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), and
therefore excludes items required by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications,
eliminations, accruals and disclosure items. Undue reliance should not be placed
upon the Financial Report. There can be no assurance that such information is
complete. In addition, in order to comply with the 15-day filing requirements of
the Trustee, certain year-end adjustments have been excluded from this report.
The debtors anticipate filing an amended report when information relative to
these adjustments becomes available.
