BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period of 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation. In the tables, dollars are in millions, except per share and per pound amounts, and shipments are in thousands of metric tons. A metric ton is equivalent to 2,205 pounds. 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGE In 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities." The SOP requires costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred. The Company adopted the SOP in the second quarter of 1998 and recognized a charge for the cumulative effect of accounting change of $23 million. First quarter 1998 results have been retroactively restated to reflect this accounting change. ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF DEVELOPING OR OBTAINING INTERNAL-USE SOFTWARE In the first quarter of 1999, the Company adopted the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." The SOP requires qualifying computer software costs incurred in connection with obtaining or developing software for internal use to be capitalized. In prior years, the Company capitalized costs of purchased software and expensed internal costs of developing software. The effect of adopting this SOP was not material to first quarter 1999 results, and is not expected to be material for the full year. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes new accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company must adopt this statement by January 1, 2000. The Company has not determined the impact this statement will have on its financial position or results of operations. 3. OPERATIONAL RESTRUCTURING In the first quarter of 1999, the sale of the Company's Alabama can stock complex was finalized. This sale essentially completed the Company's restructuring activities. 6 7 4.

FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS In the first quarter of 1999, the Company borrowed $150 million under its credit facilities. The borrowing bears interest at a variable rate (5.3% at March 31, 1999) and requires repayment in a lump sum in 2001. The variable rate is based on the London Interbank Offer Rate. 7 8 6.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES As previously disclosed in the Company's 1998 Form 10-K, the Company is involved in various worldwide environmental improvement activities resulting from past operations, including designation as a potentially responsible party (PRP), with others, at various Environmental Protection Agency-designated Superfund sites. The Company has recorded amounts (on an undiscounted basis) which, in management's best estimate, will be sufficient to satisfy anticipated costs of known remediation requirements. Estimated costs for future environmental compliance and remediation are necessarily imprecise because of factors such as: . continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements . availability and application of technology . identification of presently unknown remediation requirements . cost allocations among PRPs Further, it is not possible to predict the amount or timing of future costs of environmental remediation that may subsequently be determined. Based on information presently available, such future costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's competitive or financial position. However, such costs could be material to results of operations in a future interim or annual reporting period. 9 10 8. CANADIAN REYNOLDS METALS COMPANY, LTD.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company's 1998 Form 10-K along with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in and referred to in this report. In the tables, dollars are in millions, except per share and per pound amounts, and shipments are in thousands of metric tons. A metric ton is equivalent to 2,205 pounds. Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forecasts, projections, estimates, statements of management's plans, objectives and strategies for the Company and other forward- looking statements. Please refer to the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 19, where we have summarized factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in a forward-looking statement or affect the extent to which a particular projection is realized. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Extremely low aluminum prices reduced operating results by $76 million in the first quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998 primarily affecting our Base Materials Global Business Unit. During the quarter, aluminum prices reached an all-time low adjusted for inflation and a five-year low on a nominal basis. Our average realized price for primary aluminum of $0.64 per pound in the 1999 first quarter was down 17% compared to $0.77 per pound in the 1998 first quarter. The impact of lower prices was partially offset by lower material and conversion costs of $30 million, lower interest and SG&A expenses of $25 million, and higher shipments from ongoing operations of $2 million, especially value-added primary aluminum products. In addition, our results include foreign currency related losses and charges, principally in Brazil, of $12 million. First Quarter ----------------------- 1999 1998 ----------------------- RESULTS Income (loss) before cumulative effect of accounting change $ (10) $ 58 Cumulative effect of accounting change (see Note 2) - (23) ----------------------- Net income (loss) $ (10) $ 35 ======================= EARNINGS PER SHARE - BASIC Income (loss) before cumulative effect of accounting change $(0.15) $0.78 Cumulative effect of accounting change - (0.32) ----------------------- Net income (loss) $(0.15) $0.46 ======================= GLOBAL BUSINESS UNITS The Company is organized into four market-based, global business units. The four global business units and their principal products are as follows: . Base Materials - alumina, carbon products, primary aluminum ingot and billet, and electrical rod . Packaging and Consumer - aluminum and plastic packaging and consumer products; printing products . Construction and Distribution - architectural construction products and the distribution of a wide variety of aluminum and stainless steel products . Transportation - aluminum wheels, heat exchangers and automotive structures 12 13 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued - --------------------- GLOBAL BUSINESS UNITS - continued Base Materials First Quarter -------------------------- 1999 1998 -------------------------- Aluminum shipments: Customer 212 145 Internal 56 99 -------------------------- Total 268 244 ========================== Revenues: Customer - aluminum $302 $247 - nonaluminum 75 115 Internal - aluminum 81 163 -------------------------- Total $458 $525 ========================== Operating income $ 14 $ 79 ========================== Our base materials business is fundamentally very strong. The increase in customer aluminum shipments in the first quarter of 1999 reflects strong demand for our value-added products (foundry and sheet ingot, billet and rod), which made up 72% of the primary aluminum shipments in the first quarter. Our available supply to meet customer demand has increased because we no longer need to supply downstream fabricating operations that have been sold, and we restarted idled capacity in 1998. In addition to reflecting the changes in shipping volume, aluminum revenues in the first quarter of 1999 were significantly affected by lower prices for primary aluminum. Nonaluminum revenues were lower because of: . significantly lower prices for alumina - approximately 20% to 25% lower than the first quarter of 1998 . lower customer shipments of alumina and carbon products due to weaker demand and greater internal use resulting from our restart of idled primary aluminum capacity in 1998 The most significant factor affecting operating profit in the first quarter of 1999 was lower prices for primary aluminum products. We were able to offset some of the decline with higher shipments of primary aluminum products, improved capacity utilization, and lower material and conversion costs. Packaging and Consumer First Quarter ------------------------ 1999 1998 ------------------------ Customer aluminum shipments 33 30 Revenues: Customer - aluminum $178 $175 - nonaluminum 134 136 ------------------------ Total $312 $311 ======================== Operating income $ 26 $ 22 ======================== Customer aluminum shipments and revenues were higher in the first quarter of 1999 because of strong demand for consumer foil products in domestic and foreign markets. Prices were lower because of competition. Operating income was higher because of the higher shipping volume and lower material and conversion costs. 13 14 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued - --------------------- GLOBAL BUSINESS UNITS - continued Packaging and Consumer - continued We have established a new manufacturing facility in Brazil that will produce foodservice packaging and consumer products. We will focus initially on the Brazilian market with plans to expand throughout South America. Construction and Distribution First Quarter ------------------------- 1999 1998 ------------------------- Customer aluminum shipments 47 46 Revenues: Customer - aluminum $159 $165 - nonaluminum 78 82 ------------------------- Total $237 $247 ========================= Operating income $ 8 $ 8 ========================= Shipments increased in the first quarter of 1999 because of strong demand for most distribution products. Revenues decreased because of lower prices for most products. The decline in prices for aluminum products reflected the general global weakening of aluminum prices. Prices for stainless steel products were lower due to global supply/demand imbalances and lower material costs. Operating income remained flat. The benefits of increased volume and lower material costs were offset by lower prices and the continuing absorption of the cost of our market expansions in southeast Europe and China. Our outlook is for continued strong activity levels for distribution products, especially in the transportation and kitchen equipment markets. For construction products, we are cautiously optimistic about signs of strengthening in the depressed markets of Asia and Latin America. Transportation First Quarter ------------------------- 1999 1998 ------------------------- Customer aluminum shipments 17 16 Customer revenues $94 $87 Operating loss (2) - ========================= Shipments and revenues were higher in the first quarter of 1999 because of strong demand for cast and forged aluminum wheels. Our available supply increased due to improved capacity utilization and the completion of the expansion of our Virginia forged aluminum wheel plant in February 1999. 14 15 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued - --------------------- GLOBAL BUSINESS UNITS - continued Transportation - continued Operating profit was lower because of non-recurring start-up costs relating to an engine cradle program at our Indiana automotive structures plant (see below). This effect was partially offset by lower material costs, improved shipping volume and capacity utilization in wheel and heat exchanger operations, and significant operating improvements at our Beloit, Wisconsin wheel plant. The Company and an automobile manufacturer are pioneering the first, mass-produced, high-volume, all-aluminum engine cradle. The engine cradle offers significant weight savings, reduces noise and vibration, and provides important safety features. We have incurred high start-up costs because of the complexity of the production process and our acceleration of the timetable to begin production. No other manufacturer has yet produced this particular component, so we expect to maintain a competitive advantage. Restructuring As of December 31, 1998, the only assets remaining in this category related to the Alabama can stock complex. We finalized the sale of the Alabama can stock complex at the end of the first quarter of 1999. As a result, no revenues or operating results are included in the Restructuring category in 1999. Other The decline in operating profit in the first quarter of 1999 was due to foreign currency related losses and charges, principally in Brazil. For additional information concerning the global business units, see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense decreased in the first quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998 due to lower amounts of debt outstanding. TAXES ON INCOME The effective tax rates reflected in the income statement differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate principally because of the following: . foreign taxes at different rates . the effects of percentage depletion allowances . credits and other tax benefits YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE Issue The year 2000 issue results from computer programs and systems that rely on two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Such systems may treat a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. As a result, computer systems could fail to operate or make miscalculations, causing disruption of business operations. Left unrepaired, many of the Company's systems, including information and computer systems and automated equipment, could be affected by the year 2000 issue. Failure to adequately address the issue could result in, among other things, the temporary inability to manufacture products, process transactions, send invoices, and/or engage in normal business activities. We do not believe the products we sell require remediation to address the year 2000 issue since they do not depend on the calendar function in the electronic components. 15 16 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued - --------------------- YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE - continued Goal The Company has a formal program to address and resolve potential exposure associated with information and non-information technology systems arising from the year 2000 issue. Our goal is that none of the Company's critical business operations or computer processes we share with our suppliers and customers will be substantially impaired by the advent of the year 2000. Our program is led by our Year 2000 Program Management Office, which recommends processes and tools for year 2000 remediation to the Company's business units and monitors progress. The Program Management Office consolidates progress information into monthly status reports for review by management, the Company's internal auditors and the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is also given periodic briefings on progress and plans from the Program Management Office. Year 2000 Remediation Project We have substantially completed preparation of our critical, date- sensitive computer systems, processes and interfacing software for the year 2000. Our preparation included five phases: (1) inventory, (2) planning, (3) conversion, (4) pre-installation testing and (5) installation. We measure progress on remediation projects as a percentage of actual staff hours expended to staff hours projected. As of March 31, 1999, our overall remediation efforts were approximately 98% complete; remediation of information systems was approximately 99% complete while remediation of non- information systems (e.g., manufacturing and mechanical systems) was approximately 96% complete. We continue to monitor our computer and software vendors' readiness statements to assure that readiness changes in their products do not negatively affect our systems. Quality Assurance In addition to completing our year 2000 remediation project, we are validating our remediation efforts with post-installation testing of certain critical computer systems. We also expect to respond to and initiate requests to test with certain suppliers, customers and government agencies after they ready their systems. Contingency Planning An ongoing key aspect of the Company's contingency planning for the year 2000 focuses on assessment of the business impact on the Company resulting from the possible failure of our suppliers to provide needed products and services. We are assessing the year 2000 readiness of all our suppliers who are deemed to be critical to each of our operating locations, even though the products or services they provide may not be material to the Company's business as a whole. We have surveyed over 2,000 suppliers and rated them low, medium or high risk in their progress toward being ready for the year 2000. Critical suppliers rated as high risk are receiving our immediate attention for contingency planning or other measures such as identifying additional sources of supply for critical materials. As of March 31, 1999, we were on schedule with our third party evaluation, having completed approximately 45% of the projected total effort that we currently estimate will be needed. Early in the fourth quarter of 1999, we plan to have ranked our critical suppliers as low risk, identified additional sources of supply or developed other contingency plans with respect to those critical suppliers who are not ranked as low risk. We will continue monitoring these suppliers into the year 2000. In addition, we are responding to customer inquiries regarding our year 2000 program and our progress in addressing the issue. We also expect to evaluate the year 2000 readiness of certain of our largest customers. We have not determined the potential costs of business disruptions from supplier or customer non-performance. The Company currently has in place operating procedures and business continuity plans at its operating locations for responding to unusual, disruptive situations such as power shortages, failures by major suppliers and natural disasters. These existing procedures and plans provide a solid foundation for addressing many year 2000 issues. As unique risks are identified and deemed sufficiently likely to occur, we will make necessary adaptations or additions to our existing procedures and plans. 16 17 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued - --------------------- YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE - continued Contingency Planning - continued Contingency planning and monitoring to determine realistic year 2000 issues beyond those already addressed will continue throughout the year. Several reasonably likely worst case scenarios involve shortages or unanticipated outages of energy requirements. Our operations, particularly in the Base Materials business, require significant quantities of energy. Curtailments or disruptions of energy supplies would result in full or partial shutdowns of these operations until energy availability could be restored. In addition, an unanticipated loss of energy supply could result in damage to production equipment. We continue to assess these and other business disruption risks. Costs The total cost of our Year 2000 remediation project is currently expected to be approximately $22 million. As of March 31, 1999, we had incurred approximately $20 million, which includes labor, equipment and license costs. Our cost projections include approximate costs for post-installation testing and contingency planning. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- WORKING CAPITAL March 31 December 31 1999 1998 --------------------------- Working capital $489 $361 Ratio of current assets to current liabilities 1.4/1 1.3/1 The increase in working capital was due principally to higher cash and cash equivalents. The cash was received from the sale of assets late in the first quarter of 1999. OPERATING ACTIVITIES Cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of 1999 was supplemented with funds from financing activities. We used these funds principally to increase inventories in anticipation of improved shipping levels in the second quarter of 1999. INVESTING ACTIVITIES Capital investments totaled $106 million in the first quarter of 1999. This amount includes $26 million for operating requirements (replacement equipment, environmental control projects, etc.). The remainder was for strategic projects (performance improvements, investments, etc.) principally carried forward from 1998, including: . expansion of the Worsley Alumina Refinery in Australia . modernization of U.S. foil plants . acquisition of a producer of flexographic separations and plates for the packaging industry in Canada . establishment of a foodservice packaging and consumer products subsidiary in Brazil . expansion of a plant in Europe that will produce composite architectural products . construction of a new, larger metals distribution center in Seattle to replace the current leased facility . expansion of a forged wheel plant in Virginia (completed in February 1999) . expansion and modification of an automotive structures plant in Indiana Capital investments planned for 1999 (approximately $450 million) are primarily for those strategic projects now under way and continuing operating requirements. We expect to fund these capital investments primarily with cash provided by operating activities. While the projected 1999 capital investments do not include amounts for acquisitions, we will evaluate opportunities that arise. We do have small packaging and consumer acquisitions in process or under review. 17 18 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - continued - ------------------------------- FINANCING ACTIVITIES The significant financing activities for the first quarter of 1999 were borrowings of $150 million under our revolving credit facilities (see Note 5). We used the proceeds to supplement cash used in operating activities. Early in the second quarter of 1999, we repaid approximately $130 million of short-term borrowings with available cash. PORTFOLIO REVIEW In the first quarter of 1999, we completed the sale of our can stock complex in Alabama. With this sale, our restructuring is essentially complete. OUTLOOK Our outlook for the second quarter of 1999 is a significant improvement from the first quarter. While we expect pricing pressures to cause results to be below the second quarter of 1998, the recent strengthening of the aluminum market should serve to enhance our anticipated performance improvement. For the year, we expect to benefit from increased sales of our packaging and consumer products. 18 19 RISK FACTORS - ------------ This section should be read in conjunction with Part I, Items 1(Business) and 7 (Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of the Company's 1998 Form 10-K and the preceding portions of this Item. This report contains (and oral communications made by or on behalf of the Company may contain) forecasts, projections, estimates, statements of management's plans, objectives and strategies for the Company and other forward-looking statements<F1>. The Company's expectations for the future and related forward- looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and forecasts, including: . world economic growth and other economic indicators (including rates of inflation, industrial production, housing starts and light vehicle sales) . trends in the Company's key markets . global aluminum supply and demand conditions . primary aluminum prices By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, and various factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in a forward- looking statement or affect the extent to which a particular projection is realized. The Company is cautiously optimistic about the demand for aluminum for 1999. There are signs that the economies in Asia are beginning to recover. The economic situation in South America is also improving. The Company's outlook is for an increase in global primary aluminum consumption for 1999 of 2%. If the global economy completes its recovery in 2000 to 2001, we expect global aluminum consumption to grow by approximately 5% per year. Economic and/or market conditions other than those forecasted by the Company in the preceding paragraph could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in a forward-looking statement or affect the extent to which a particular projection is realized. The Company's outlook for 1999 and beyond could be jeopardized by a further delay of economic recovery in Asia and Brazil, as well as in other emerging markets. The following factors also could affect the Company's results: . Primary aluminum is an internationally traded commodity. The price of primary aluminum is subject to worldwide market forces of supply and demand and other influences. Prices can be volatile. Because primary aluminum makes up a significant portion of the Company's shipments, changes in aluminum pricing have a rapid effect on the Company's operating results. The Company's use of contractual arrangements, including fixed-price sales contracts, fixed-price supply contracts, and forward, futures and option contracts, reduces its exposure to price volatility but does not eliminate it. ________________________ <F1>Forward-looking statements can be identified generally as those containing words such as "should," "will," "will likely result," "hope," "forecast," "outlook," "project," "estimate," "expect," "anticipate," or "plan" and words of similar effect. 19 20 RISK FACTORS - continued - ------------ . The markets for most aluminum products are highly competitive. Certain of the Company's competitors are larger than the Company in terms of total assets and operations and have greater financial resources. Certain foreign governments are involved in the operation and/or ownership of certain competitors and may be motivated by political as well as economic considerations. In addition, aluminum competes with other materials, such as steel, plastics and glass, among others, for various applications in the Company's key markets. Plastic products compete with similar products made by the Company's competitors, as well as with products made of glass, aluminum, steel, paper, wood and ceramics, among others. Unanticipated actions or developments by or affecting the Company's competitors and/or the willingness of customers to accept substitutions for the products sold by the Company could affect results. . The Company spends substantial capital and operating amounts relating to ongoing compliance with environmental laws. In addition, the Company is involved in remedial investigations and actions in connection with past disposal of wastes. Estimating future environmental compliance and remediation costs is imprecise due to: - continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements and uncertainties about their application to the Company's operations - availability and application of technology - identification of currently unknown remediation sites - allocation of costs among potentially responsible parties . The Company has investments and activities in various emerging markets, including Russia, China, India and Brazil. While emerging markets offer strong growth potential, they also present a higher degree of risk than more developed markets. In addition to the business risks inherent in developing and servicing new markets, economic conditions may be more volatile, legal systems less developed and predictable, and the possibility of various types of adverse government action more pronounced. . Unanticipated material legal proceedings or investigations, or the disposition of those currently pending against the Company other than as anticipated by management and counsel, could affect the Company's results. . Changes in the costs of power, resins, caustic soda, green coke and other raw materials can affect results. . A number of the Company's operations are cyclical and can be influenced by economic conditions. . A failure to complete the Company's major capital projects, such as expansion of the Worsley Alumina Refinery, as scheduled and within budget or a failure to launch successfully new growth or strategic business programs, such as the engine cradle program, could affect the Company's results. . The Company's results may be adversely affected if it fails to meet its year 2000 readiness goals. While the Company believes it has prepared substantially all of its information and non-information systems for the advent of the year 2000, a failure to locate and correct all relevant computer codes could result in disruptions of Company operations, some of which may be significant. Also, there can be no guarantee that other companies with which the Company does business will be converted on a timely basis or their failure to be year 2000 compliant will not have an adverse effect on the Company. . A strike at a customer facility or a significant downturn in the business of a key customer supplied by the Company could affect the Company's results. 20 21 RISK FACTORS - continued - ------------ In addition to the factors referred to above, the Company is exposed to general financial, political, economic and business risks in connection with its worldwide operations. The Company continues to evaluate and manage its operations in a manner to mitigate the effects from exposure to such risks. In general, the Company's expectations for the future are based on the assumption that conditions relating to costs, currency values, competition and the legal, regulatory, financial, political and business environments in the worldwide economies and markets in which the Company operates will not change significantly overall. 21 22 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this Amendment No. 1 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
