                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Dynamic Materials Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DYNAMIC MATERIALS CORPORATION
(a  Delaware  corporation)  as of December  31,  2000 and 1999,  and the related
statements of  operations,  stockholders'  equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2000.  These  financial  statements
are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our  responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the 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.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of Dynamic Materials  Corporation
as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period  ended  December  31,  2000,  in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                          DYNAMIC MATERIALS CORPORATION

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998

(1)  ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

     Dynamic Materials Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the state
of Colorado in 1971, and reincorporated in the state of Delaware during 1997, to
provide products and services requiring explosive  metalworking.  The Company is
based in the United States and has customers  throughout North America,  Western
Europe,  Australia and the Far East.  The Company  currently  operates under two
business groups - explosion  metalworking,  in which metals are  metallurgically
joined  or  altered  by using  explosives;  and  aerospace,  in which  parts are
machined,  formed or welded primarily for the commercial  aircraft and aerospace
industries.

     Transaction with SNPE, Inc.

     On June 14,  2000 the  Company's  stockholders  approved  a Stock  Purchase
Agreement ("the  Agreement")  between the Company and SNPE, Inc.  ("SNPE").  The
closing of the  transaction,  which was held immediately  following  stockholder
approval,  resulted  in a payment  from SNPE of  $5,800,000  to the  Company  in
exchange  for  2,109,091 of the  Company's  common stock at a price of $2.75 per
share causing SNPE to become a 50.8%  stockholder  of the Company on the closing
date.  In  addition,   the  Company  borrowed  $1,200,000  under  a  convertible
subordinated note from SNPE and $3,500,000 under a new credit facility with SNPE
(see Note 4). Proceeds from the SNPE equity investment, convertible subordinated
note issuance and credit  facility  borrowings  enabled the Company to repay all
borrowings from its bank under a revolving  credit facility on which the Company
had been in default since September 30, 1999.

(2)  ACQUISITIONS

     AMK Welding, Inc. - South Windsor, Connecticut

     On January 5, 1998,  the Company  acquired  certain  assets of AMK Welding,
Inc. ("AMK"). AMK supplies commercial aircraft and  aerospace-related  automatic
and manual,  gas tungsten and arc welding services.  The total purchase price of
approximately  $940,000  included a cash  payment made to the seller of $900,000
and transaction costs paid of approximately  $40,000.  Assets acquired consisted
primarily of machinery  and  equipment,  land and the building that houses AMK's
operations.

     Spin Forge, LLC - El Segundo, California

     On March 18, 1998, the Company  acquired  certain assets of Spin Forge, LLC
("Spin Forge") for a purchase price of  approximately  $3,826,000  that was paid
with  a  combination  of  approximately   $2,616,000  in  cash  (which  includes
approximately   $146,000  in   transaction   related   costs),   assumption   of
approximately  $760,000 in liabilities  and 50,000 shares of the Company's stock
valued at $449,800.  Spin Forge  manufactures  tactical  missile motor cases and
titanium pressure vessels for the commercial  aerospace and defense  industries.
Principal assets acquired included machinery and equipment and inventories.  The
Company leases the land and buildings  from Spin Forge,  LLC and holds an option
to purchase  such  property  for  approximately  $2,900,000,  subject to certain
adjustments,  exercisable  under certain  conditions  through  January 2002. The
option may be extended beyond this date under specified conditions provided that
the option  price  must be  adjusted  upwards in the event that the fair  market
value of the property at the time of exercise is higher than $2,900,000.

     As part of a Personal Services Agreement between the Company and one of the
former  owners of Spin Forge,  the Company  granted  7,500 shares of  restricted
stock to that former owner.  In  connection  with this  acquisition,  the former
owner became an officer of the Company.  The restricted stock grant was recorded
as deferred  compensation  and was being amortized to expense over the four year
vesting  period of the grant.  During the third  quarter  of 2000,  the  officer
resigned  from  the  Company  and,  consequently,  the  unvested  shares  of the
restricted stock grant were forfeited.

     Precision Machined Products, Inc. - Fort Collins, Colorado

     On December 1, 1998, the Company acquired  substantially  all of the assets
of  Precision  Machined   Products,   Inc.  ("PMP")  for  a  purchase  price  of
approximately $7,073,000 (including approximately $57,000 in transaction related
costs) which was paid with a  combination  of $6,800,000 in cash payments to the
seller  and the  delivery  of 40,000  shares of the  Company's  stock  valued at
approximately  $216,000.  PMP is a contract  machining shop specializing in high
precision,   high  quality,  complex  machined  parts  used  in  the  aerospace,
satellite,  medical  equipment and high  technology  industries.  The Company is
leasing the land and building used in the operation of PMP and held an option to
purchase  such land and  building  at fair  market  value  that was  exercisable
through  December  2000.  Subsequent to the  expiration of the option term,  the
Company  has a right of first offer to  purchase  the land and  building at fair
market value. This right of first offer is exercisable through December 2008.

(3)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Use of Estimates

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in conformity  with  accounting
principles  generally accepted in the United States requires  management to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets and
liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Inventories

     Inventories  are  stated  at the  lower of cost  (first-in,  first-out)  or
market.  Cost elements  included in inventory are material,  labor,  subcontract
costs and factory overhead.

     Inventories consist of the following at December 31, 2000 and 1999:

                                              2000                  1999
              Raw materials               $   950,632           $ 1,311,345
              Work in process               2,878,802             2,001,784
              Supplies                         51,721                97,699
                                          ------------          ------------
                                          $ 3,881,155           $ 3,410,828

     Property, Plant and Equipment

     Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Additions, improvements
and  betterments  are  capitalized  when incurred.  Maintenance  and repairs are
charged to operations as the costs are incurred.  Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line  method over the estimated useful life of the related asset as
follows:

              Building and improvements                     3-20 years
              Manufacturing equipment and tooling           3-15 years
              Furniture, fixtures and computer equipment    3-10 years
              Other                                          3-5 years




     Property,  plant and  equipment  consists of the  following at December 31,
2000 and 1999:

                                                       2000             1999

     Land                                        $    241,600      $    387,308
     Building and improvements                      5,138,626         6,699,198
     Manufacturing equipment and tooling           10,220,578         9,736,646
     Furniture, fixtures and computer equipment     1,957,948         1,802,751
     Other                                            210,757           241,893
                                                 -------------     -------------
                                                 $17,769,509        $18,867,796

     Construction in Process

     Building  and  equipment  costs of $726,142  related to the  Company's  new
manufacturing   facility  were  transferred  from  construction  in  process  to
property,  plant  and  equipment  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2000.
Construction  began in September 1998 and was largely completed during the third
quarter of 1999.  Residual  costs  incurred on the project in late 1999 and into
2000  related  primarily  to bringing a few  remaining  pieces of  manufacturing
equipment  online.  The project was financed using proceeds from the issuance of
industrial  development  revenue  bonds ("the  Bonds")  (see Note 4).  Total net
interest  expense incurred on the bonds during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $388,357,
$188,648  and  $(10,560),  respectively  (net of interest  earned on the related
invested  bond proceeds  held in trust of $10,089,  $110,693 and $89,693  during
2000,  1999 and 1998,  respectively).  Of the total net bond  interest  incurred
during  1999,  $96,222 was incurred  prior to the new  facility  being ready for
service and was,  therefore,  capitalized.  No interest was  capitalized  during
2000.

     Intangible Assets and Goodwill

     The Company  holds  numerous  United  States  product  and process  patents
related to the business of explosion metalworking and metallic products produced
by various  explosive  processes.  The Company's  current patents expire between
2001 and 2010; however,  expiration of any single patent is not expected to have
a material adverse effect on the Company or its operations.

     Patent costs are included in intangible assets in the accompanying  balance
sheets and include  primarily  legal and filing fees  associated with the patent
registration.  These costs are  amortized  over the expected  useful life of the
issued patent, up to 17 years.

     As a result of the Detaclad acquisition in 1996,  $1,081,375 of excess cost
over  assets  acquired  was  recorded.  These costs are being  amortized  over a
25-year period using the straight-line method. The Company also acquired certain
tradenames  and entered  into a  non-compete  agreement in  connection  with the
Detaclad   acquisition,   which  are  included  in  intangible   assets  in  the
accompanying  balance sheets.  The costs  attributed to the tradenames have been
fully  amortized  while the  non-compete  agreement is being amortized over five
years from the date of acquisition.

     As a result of the AMK acquisition discussed in Note 2, the Company entered
into two  non-compete  agreements  which  are  valued  at  $50,000  each and are
included in intangible assets and are being amortized over five years.

     As a result  of the PMP  acquisition  discussed  in Note 2,  $4,334,723  of
excess cost over assets  acquired  was recorded  and is being  amortized  over a
25-year period using the straight-line method. In addition,  the Company entered
into a  non-compete  agreement  related  to the  acquisition  of PMP.  The value
attributable  to the  non-compete  agreement  of  $100,000  is also  included in
intangible assets and is being amortized over four years.


     Intangible assets and goodwill are summarized as follows as of December 31,
2000 and 1999:

                                                   2000               1999
                                             ---------------   ---------------
       Goodwill                                 $ 5,416,098       $ 5,416,098
       Non-compete agreements                       400,000           400,000
       Other                                        271,522           251,522
                                             ---------------   --------------
                                                  6,087,620         6,067,620
       Accumulated amortization                  (1,094,870)         (786,077)
                                             ---------------   --------------
                                                $ 4,992,750       $ 5,281,543
                                             ===============   ==============

     The Company evaluates the carrying value of its goodwill in accordance with
the asset impairment  accounting policy discussed below.  However,  if no events
trigger a review  under the  asset  impairment  policy,  the  Company  evaluates
goodwill  recoverability  by reviewing  whether ongoing events and circumstances
throughout  the year warrant  revised  estimates of goodwill  useful  lives.  If
estimates are changed and the useful life is shortened, the unamortized goodwill
is allocated to the reduced  number of remaining  periods in the revised  useful
life,  and the excess is  expensed  as a cost of  operations.  The  Company  has
recorded no such revision to the carrying value of its goodwill during the years
presented.

     Asset Impairments

     The  Company  reviews  its  long-lived  assets  and  certain   identifiable
intangibles to be held and used by the Company for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances  indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable.
In so doing, the Company  estimates the future net cash flows expected to result
from  the use of the  asset  and  its  eventual  disposition.  If the sum of the
expected future net cash flows  (undiscounted  and without interest  charges) is
less than the carrying amount of the asset, and impairment loss is recognized to
reduce the asset to its estimated fair value.  Otherwise,  an impairment loss is
not recognized.  Long-lived  assets and certain  identifiable  intangibles to be
disposed of, if any, are reported at the lower of carrying  amount or fair value
less cost to sell.

     Plant Closing Costs

     On April 22,  1999,  the  Company  announced  that it would be closing  its
Louisville,  Colorado-based  explosion  bonded  clad metal  plate  manufacturing
facility in the third  quarter of 1999 and  consolidating  all of its  Explosive
Metalworking  Group  operations  into  the  new  Pennsylvania-based  clad  plate
manufacturing   facility.   The   Company   recorded  a  total  of  $812,197  in
non-recurring  charges  during the year ended  December  31, 1999 to cover costs
associated with this plant closing. Plant closing costs include severance pay to
terminated employees, outplacement service fees and certain expenses incurred in
connection  with  final  plant  shutdown,  clean-up  and site  reclamation  work
subsequent to the discontinuation of manufacturing activities at this facility.

     In  connection  with  the  plant  closing   discussed  above,  the  Company
identified certain long-lived assets associated with its Colorado  manufacturing
operations   that  were  abandoned  and  had  negligible   fair  market  values.
Accordingly,  the Company  recorded  asset  impairment  write-downs  of $179,004
during the second and third quarters of 1999. The impaired  assets,  which after
the write-down had no carrying value, have been disposed of.

     The Company also identified  certain  inventory that was determined to have
little value as a result of the plant  closing.  This  inventory,  which totaled
approximately  $108,000,  was consequently  written off in the second quarter of
1999.  This  charge is  included  in cost of  products  sold for the year  ended
December 31, 1999.

     Other Assets

     Included in other  assets are  deferred  financing  costs of  $100,748  and
$144,842,  net of  accumulated  amortization  of  $15,636  and  $155,767,  as of
December  31,  2000  and  1999,  respectively.   The  deferred  financing  costs
outstanding  as of December 31, 2000 were incurred in  connection  with the SNPE
subordinated note and credit facility (See Notes 1 and 4). These costs are being
amortized  over  the  applicable  terms  of the debt  agreements.  The  deferred
financing  costs  outstanding  at  December  31, 1999  related to the  Company's
previous  lines  of  credit  (see  Note  4).  As  these  lines  of  credit  were
extinguished  in  connection  with the SNPE  transaction  on June 14, 2000,  the
unamortized  deferred finance costs, net of the deferred gain on the termination
of the  related  swap  agreement  of $80,111,  was  written off and  recorded as
extraordinary  item - loss from  extinguishment  of debt. Also included in other
assets at  December  31,  2000 and 1999 are bond  issue  costs of  $127,140  and
$156,194, respectively, associated with the industrial development revenue bonds
used to finance the Company's new manufacturing  facility (Note 4). These costs,
which  originally  totaled  $195,720,  are being  amortized over the life of the
bonds. As of December 31, 1999,  other assets included  $75,359 of costs related
to the  issuance of stock to SNPE,  Inc.  These  costs  consisted  primarily  of
professional  fees  associated  with the SNPE  transaction and during 2000, were
offset against  additional paid-in capital or included in deferred finance costs
in  proportion  to the  equity  and  subordinated  debt  components  of the SNPE
transaction (Note 1).

     Revenue Recognition

     The Company's contracts with its customers generally require the production
and delivery of multiple units or products. The Company records revenue from its
contracts  using the  completed  contract  method as products are  completed and
shipped to the customer. If, as a contract proceeds toward completion, projected
total cost on an individual  contract  indicates a potential  loss,  the Company
provides currently for such anticipated loss.

     Net (Loss) Income Per Share

     Basic  earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net (loss) income
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding  during the
period.  Diluted  EPS  recognizes  the  potential  dilutive  effects of dilutive
securities.  The  following  represents a  reconciliation  of the  numerator and
denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS:



                                                               For the year ended December 31, 1998

     During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,  the Company  incurred a
net loss, therefore,  there is no difference in basic and diluted loss per share
because the effect of options to purchase common stock and the conversion of the
convertible subordinated debt is antidilutive.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents,  trade accounts receivable
and payable, accrued expenses and notes receivable are considered to approximate
fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  The fair value of
the Company's long-term debt is estimated to approximate carrying value based on
the  borrowing  rates  currently  available  to the  Company for bank loans with
similar terms and average maturities.

     Income Taxes

     The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future  income  tax  consequences   based  on  enacted  tax  laws  of  temporary
differences  between  the  financial  reporting  and tax  bases  of  assets  and
liabilities.  The Company recognizes deferred tax assets for the expected future
effects of all deductible  temporary  differences.  Deferred tax assets are then
reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of any tax
benefits  which,  more likely than not based on current  circumstances,  are not
expected to be realized (see Note 6).

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company  considers highly
liquid  investments  purchased with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.

     Start-up Costs

     AICPA  Statement  of  Position  98-5,  "Reporting  on the Costs of Start-up
Activities,"  ("SOP 98-5") provides for guidance on the financial  reporting for
start-up and  organization  costs. It requires costs of start-up  activities and
organization  costs to be  expensed  as  incurred.  SOP 98-5 was  effective  for
financial  statements  for fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  1998,
however, the Company elected to adopt SOP 98-5 in 1998.

     Concentration of Credit Risk

     Financial   instruments,   which  potentially  subject  the  Company  to  a
concentration of credit risk,  consist primarily of cash,  restricted cash, cash
equivalents  and accounts  receivable.  Generally,  the Company does not require
collateral  to secure  receivables.  The Company  currently  has no  significant
financial  instruments with off-balance sheet risk of accounting losses, such as
foreign exchange contracts, options contracts, or other foreign currency hedging
arrangements.

     Reclassifications

     Certain  prior  period  amounts  have been  reclassified  to conform to the
current period presentation.

     New Accounting Principles

     The FASB recently issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
133,  "Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities"  ("SFAS
133"), which requires that companies  recognize all derivatives as either assets
or  liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value.  Under SFAS 133,  accounting
for  changes  in fair value of a  derivative  depends  on its  intended  use and
designation.  SFAS 133 is effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15,
2000.  The Company has  implemented  SFAS 133 effective  January 1, 2001 with no
impact.

     In December  1999,  the staff of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
issued Staff Accounting  Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101") "Views on Selected Revenue
Recognition  Issues"  which  provides  the staff's  views in applying  generally
accepted  accounting  principles to selected  revenue  recognition  issues.  The
Company was  required to  implement  SAB 101 during the year ended  December 31,
2000. The Company has implemented SAB 101 with no impact.

     SNPE, Inc. Line of Credit

     In connection with the SNPE  transaction (see Note 1), the Company borrowed
$3,500,000  on June 14,  2000 under a new credit  facility  with SNPE.  The SNPE
credit  facility,  which bears interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.5%, may
be increased to a maximum of $4,500,000 in total  borrowings  subject to certain
approvals by SNPE. The interest rate at December 31, 2000 was 8.18%.  The credit
facility was  originally  scheduled to mature on June 14,  2001.  However,  SNPE
subsequently  agreed  to amend  the  maturity  date to March  31,  2002.  During
September  2000,  the Company  obtained  the  required  approvals  from SNPE and
borrowed an additional  $250,000 resulting in a $3,750,000  balance  outstanding
under the credit  facility  as of  December  31,  2000.  The credit  facility is
secured by the Company's accounts receivable,  inventory and property, plant and
equipment,   except  such  assets  that  relate  to  the   Company's   Explosive
Metalworking Group.

     SNPE, Inc. Convertible Subordinated Note

     In connection  with the SNPE  transaction  (see Note 1), a cash payment was
made by SNPE to the Company to purchase a five-year, 5% Convertible Subordinated
Note  ("Subordinated  Note"). SNPE may convert the Subordinated Note into common
stock  of the  Company  at a  conversion  price  of $6 at any  time  up to,  and
including the maturity date (June 14, 2005).

     Bank Lines of Credit

     The bank lines of credit were paid in their entirety in connection with the
SNPE transaction  discussed in Note 1. The weighted average interest rate on all
line of credit  borrowings  at December  31, 1999 was 8.94%.  The Company was in
default on these lines of credit at December 31, 1999 and, as the  corresponding
waiver  extended only through March 30, 2000,  and certain  covenant  violations
were likely to continue  beyond this date,  the subject debt was classified as a
current liability in the December 31, 1999 financial statements.

     In December 1998, the Company  entered into an interest rate swap agreement
with its bank related to the bank lines of credit.  The Company  terminated this
swap  agreement in the third  quarter of 1999  resulting  in a deferred  gain of
$45,600  that was  being  amortized  over the terms of the  acquisition  line of
credit.  Once the bank  lines of credit  were  extinguished  as part of the SNPE
transaction,  the  unamortized  deferred gain of $31,388 was offset  against the
unamortized  deferred finance charges of $111,499 related to the lines of credit
and recorded as a extraordinary loss on extinguishment.

     Industrial Development Revenue Bonds

     During   September   1998,  the  Company  began   construction   on  a  new
manufacturing facility in Fayette County,  Pennsylvania.  This project was being
financed with proceeds from industrial  development  revenue bonds issued by the
Fayette County Industrial  Development  Authority.  The loan bears interest at a
variable  rate which is set weekly based on the current  weekly  market rate for
tax-exempt  bonds.  The interest rate at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was 5.1% and
5.7%,  respectively.  The Company has established a bank letter of credit in the
trustee's  favor for the  principal  amount of  outstanding  bonds  plus 98 days
accrued interest on the bonds. The letter of credit was secured by the Company's
accounts  receivable,  inventory,  property,  plant and  equipment  and the bond
proceeds not yet expended for  construction.  On June 14, 2000,  in  conjunction
with the line of credit  entered  into with SNPE,  the  collateral  securing the
letter of credit was reduced to include only those assets  described  above that
relate to the Explosive  Metalworking  Group.  The portion of the borrowings not
yet  expended  for  construction  was  $179,394 as of December  31, 2000 and was
classified as restricted cash and investments in the accompanying balance sheet.
The proceeds are held by a trustee  until  qualified  expenditures  are made and
reimbursed to the Company. The Company may redeem the bonds prior to maturity at
an amount equal to the  outstanding  principal  plus any accrued  interest.  The
bonds  mature on  September  1, 2013 at which  time all  amounts  become due and
payable.  The  three-year  bank letter of credit  that  supports  the  Company's
industrial   development  revenue  bonds  expires  in  September  2001.  Company
management believes that the Company will be able to obtain a replacement letter
of credit arrangement on terms similar to those of the existing letter of credit
and underlying reimbursement agreement.

     In September 1998, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement
with its bank under which the Company  converted  the variable  interest rate on
the bonds to a rate that is largely  fixed.  The  Company  terminated  this swap
agreement  during the third  quarter  of 1999  resulting  in a deferred  gain of
$105,300 which is being amortized over the term of the bonds.

     Loan Covenants and Restrictions

     The  Company's  existing  loan  agreements  include  various  covenants and
restrictions,  certain  of which  relate to the  payment of  dividends  or other
distributions  to  stockholders,  redemption  of capital  stock,  incurrence  of
additional indebtedness, mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets and
maintenance of specified financial ratios.

     Scheduled Debt Maturity

     The Company's long-term debt matures based on the following:

                  Year ended December 31-
                           2001                               $ 725,000

(5)  COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND BENEFIT PLAN

     Stock Option Plans

     The Company  maintains  stock  option plans that provide for grants of both
incentive stock options and non-statutory  stock options.  During 1997, the 1992
Incentive Stock Option Plan and the 1994 Nonemployee  Director Stock Option Plan
were both  amended and restated in the form of the 1997 Equity  Incentive  Plan,
which was approved by the Company's stockholders in May of 1997. Incentive stock
options are granted at exercise  prices that equal the fair market value at date
of grant based upon the closing  sales price of the  Company's  common  stock on
that date.  Incentive  stock options  generally vest 25% annually and expire ten
years  from the date of  grant.  Non-statutory  stock  options  are  granted  at
exercise  prices  that  range from 85% to 100% of the fair  market  value of the
stock at date of grant. These options vest over periods ranging from one to four
years and have expiration  dates that range from five to ten years from the date
of grant.  Under the 1997 Equity  Incentive Plan,  there are 1,075,000 shares of
common stock  authorized to be granted,  of which 497,999  remain  available for
future grants.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123")

     SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation,"  defines a fair value
based  method of  accounting  for  employee  stock  options  or  similar  equity
instruments.  However, SFAS 123 allows the continued measurement of compensation
cost for such plans using the  intrinsic  value based method  prescribed  by APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"),  provided
that pro forma  disclosures  are made of net  income  and net  income per share,
assuming the fair value based method of SFAS 123 had been  applied.  The Company
has  elected to account  for its  stock-based  compensation  plans under APB 25;
accordingly,  for purposes of the pro forma  disclosures  presented  below,  the
Company has computed the fair values of all options  granted  during 2000,  1999
and 1998,  using an acceptable  option pricing model and the following  weighted
average assumptions:

                                    2000             1999              1998
                                --------------   ---------------   -------------
   Risk-free interest rate          6.4%              4.8%             5.4%
   Expected lives                   4.0 years         4.0 years        4.0 years
   Expected volatility             97.2%             82.2%            68.0%
   Expected dividend yield            0%                0%               0%


     To estimate  expected lives of options for this  valuation,  it was assumed
options will be exercised  upon becoming  fully vested at the end of four years.
All  options  are  initially  assumed  to  vest.  Cumulative  compensation  cost
recognized  in pro forma net income with respect to options  that are  forfeited
prior to vesting is adjusted as a reduction of pro forma compensation expense in
the period of forfeiture.

     The total fair value of options  granted was  computed to be  approximately
$153,705,  $260,900 and $2,211,800  for the years ended December 31, 2000,  1999
and 1998,  respectively.  These amounts are amortized on a  straight-line  basis
over the vesting  periods of the  options.  Pro forma  stock-based  compensation
(including the effects of its Employee Stock Purchase  Plan),  net of the effect
of  forfeitures,  was $311,459,  $597,200 and $520,200 for 2000,  1999 and 1998,
respectively.

     If the Company had  accounted  for its  stock-based  compensation  plans in
accordance  with SFAS 123,  the  Company's  net (loss)  income and pro forma net
(loss) income per common share would have been reported as follows:



                                                                                    Year Ended December 31,
                                                                            2000              1999             1998
                                                                       --------------    --------------     -----------
                                                                                                  
              Net (loss) income:
                 As reported                                            $(2,010,610)      $(2,718,108)       $1,385,756
                 Pro forma                                              $(2,322,069)      $(3,315,308)         $865,556

              Pro forma basic earnings per common share:

                 As reported                                              $(.50)             $(.96)             $.50
                 Pro forma                                                $(.58)             $(1.17)            $.31

              Pro forma diluted earnings per common share:

                 As reported                                              $(.50)             $(.96)             $.49
                 Pro forma                                                $(.58)             $(1.17)            $.31



     Weighted  average  shares used to calculate pro forma diluted  earnings per
share were  determined  as  described in Note 3, except in applying the treasury
stock method to outstanding options, net proceeds assumed received upon exercise
were increased by the amount of compensation cost attributable to future service
periods and not yet  recognized  as pro forma  expense and the amount of any tax
benefits  upon assumed  exercise  that would be credited to  additional  paid-in
capital.

     A summary of stock option  activity for the years ended  December 31, 2000,
1999 and 1998 is as follows:

     Employee Stock Purchase Plan

     During 1998,  the Company  adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP")
which was approved by the Company's  stockholders in May of 1998. The Company is
authorized to issue up to 175,000  shares under the ESPP.  The initial  offering
under the ESPP was January 1, 1998 and ended June 30, 1998. Subsequent offerings
begin on the first day following each previous  offering  ("Offering  Date") and
end six months from the offering date ("Purchase  Date"). The ESPP provides that
full time  employees  may  authorize  the Company to withhold up to 15% of their
earnings, subject to certain limitations, to be used to purchase common stock of
the  Company  at the  lesser of 85% of the fair  market  value of the  Company's
common stock on the Offering Date or the Purchase  Date. In connection  with the
ESPP,  42,561,  24,538 and 23,068 shares of the Company's  stock were  purchased
during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     The pro forma net income calculation above reflects $29,124 and $29,200 and
$46,800 in  compensation  expense  associated  with the ESPP for 2000,  1999 and
1998,  respectively.  The compensation  expense represents the fair value of the
employees' purchase rights which was estimated using an acceptable pricing model
with the following weighted average assumptions:

     401(k) Plan

     The  Company  offers  a  contributory  401(k)  plan  (the  "Plan")  to  its
employees.  The Company made  matching  contributions  to the Plan at 50% of the
employees'  contribution  for the first 8% of the  employees'  compensation  for
2000, 1999 and 1998.  Total Company  contributions  were $169,535,  $185,747 and
$158,890 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     The income tax  receivable of $1,360,000  outstanding at December 31, 1999,
related to Federal  and State tax  refunds due to the Company as a result of its
1999 tax loss  carryback.  The refunds were received  during 2000. The available
tax loss  carrybacks  were  fully  utilized  in 1999 and,  were  therefore,  not
available  for any of the 2000 tax  loss.  The  Company  has  $4,092,000  in NOL
carryforwards that expire through 2020.

(7)  CAPITAL LEASE

     In February  1996,  the Company  entered into an agreement to lease a phone
system. The lease has been capitalized using an implicit interest rate of 8.25%.
Future  minimum lease  payments  under the lease as of December 31, 2000 totaled
$3,394.

(8)  RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTY

     In connection  with the  acquisition  of Spin Forge,  the Company  advanced
$280,000  to the  seller.  Prior to the  acquisition,  Spin  Forge was owned and
controlled by an individual and his spouse.  Later in 1998,  this individual was
named  President  and CEO of the Company and served in that  capacity  until his
resignation  in the third  quarter of 2000.  The  advance  was made to allow the
seller to retire  certain debt that was  outstanding  on land and buildings that
the Company  currently  leases from the seller and on which the Company  holds a
purchase  option  as  discussed  in Note 2.  The  Company  also  agreed  to make
additional  advances to the seller in connection with future principal  payments
that the seller was required to make to satisfy debt obligations relating to the
property.  The Company made additional  advances  totaling  $74,588 during 1999,
bringing  the  balance  outstanding  to $354,588 as of  December  31,  1999.  No
additional  advances were made during 2000. The outstanding  balance was paid in
full during the first quarter of 2000.  The Company's  promissory  note from the
seller, which was to mature on January 1, 2002, earned no interest,  was secured
by a pledge of 50,000  shares of the  Company's  common stock held by the seller
and was personally guaranteed by the seller's two owners.

(9)  BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     The Company is organized  in the  following  two  segments:  the  Explosive
Metalworking   Group  ("Explosive   Manufacturing")   and  the  Aerospace  Group
("Aerospace"). Explosive Manufacturing uses explosives to perform metal cladding
and shock synthesis.  The most  significant  product of this group is clad metal
which is used in the  fabrication  of  pressure  vessels,  heat  exchangers  and
transition joints used in the hydrocarbon processing, chemical processing, power
generation,  petrochemical,  pulp and  paper,  mining,  shipbuilding  and  heat,
ventilation and air conditioning industries. Aerospace machines, forms and welds
parts for the commercial aircraft, aerospace and defense industries.

     The accounting policies of both segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies.

     The Company's  reportable  segments are strategic business units that offer
different  products  and services and are  separately  managed.  Each segment is
marketed  to  different  customer  types and  requires  different  manufacturing
processes and technologies.

     Aerospace was formed in 1998 as a result of the Company's  acquisitions  of
AMK,  Spin  Forge and PMP during the year ended  December  31,  1998.  Explosive

                2002                                             369,069

                2004                                             237,673
                2005                                             139,339
                Thereafter                                        49,880
                                                            ------------
                                                              $1,730,030

     Total rental  expense  included in operations  was  $885,726,  $843,690 and
$713,731 in the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     In the  normal  course  of  business,  the  Company  is a party to  various
contractual  disputes and claims.  After  considering  the  Company's  insurance
coverage and evaluations by legal counsel regarding pending actions,  management
is of the  opinion  that the  outcome of such  actions  will not have a material
adverse  effect on the  financial  position  or  results  of  operations  of the
Company.

(11) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The Company's  authorized  capital consists of 15,000,000  shares of common
stock,  $.05 par value, of which 4,990,331 shares are outstanding as of December
31, 2000 and 4,000,000  shares of preferred  stock,  $.05 par value, of which no
shares are issued and outstanding.

     On  January 8,  1999,  the Board of  Directors  of the  Company  declared a
dividend of one preferred  share  purchase right for each  outstanding  share of
common  stock of the Company to record  holders of common  stock at the close of
business  on  January  15,  1999.  The rights  were  exercisable  following  the
occurrence  of certain  specified  events and each right would have entitled the
holder, within certain limitations,  to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of
Series A Junior  Participating  Preferred  Stock for  $22.50  subject to certain
anti-dilution adjustments. If a person or group were to have acquired 15 percent
of the  Company's  common  stock,  every other holder of a right would have been
entitled  to buy at the  right's  then-exercise  price a number of shares of the
Company's  common stock having a value of twice such exercise  price.  After the
threshold was crossed, the rights would have become non-redeemable, except that,
prior to the time a person or group  acquired  50% or more of the common  stock,
the rights other than those held by such person or group could be exchanged at a
ratio of one  share of  common  stock for each  right.  In the event of  certain
extraordinary transactions, including mergers, the rights entitle holders to buy
at the right's  then-exercise  price equity in the  acquiring  company  having a
value of twice such  exercise  price.  The rights did not have any voting rights
nor were they entitled to dividends.  The rights were redeemed by the Company at
$.001 each on June 20, 2000.

(12) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On March 15, 2000,  the Company  announced that it has reached an agreement
to acquire 100% of the stock of Nobelclad  Europe S.A. ( "Nobelclad")  and Nitro
Metall  Aktiebolag   ("Nitro  Metall")  from  Nobel  Explosifs  France  ("NEF").
Nobelclad and Nitro Metall operate  cladding  businesses  located in Rivesaltes,
France and Likenas, Sweden,  respectively,  which generated combined revenues of
approximately  $10.5  million  during the year ended  December 31, 2000.  NEF is
wholly owned by Groupe SNPE and is a sister  company to SNPE,  which owns 55% of
the Company's common stock.

     The  acquisition,  which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2001,
is subject to the  customary  due diligence  reviews and the  finalization  of a
definitive stock purchase  agreement.  The purchase price of approximately  $5.4
million will be financed  through a $4.0  million  intercompany  note  agreement
between the Company and SNPE and the assumption of approximately $1.4 million in
third party bank debt associated with Nobelclad's  planned  acquisition of Nitro
Metall from NEF prior to the Company's purchase of Nobelclad stock.
