                          DYNAMIC MATERIALS CORPORATION

                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The information included in the Condensed Financial Statements is unaudited
but includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods
presented. These Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements that are included in the Company's Annual Report
filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

     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.

3. INVENTORIES

     This caption on the Condensed Balance Sheet includes the following:

Loan Covenants and Restrictions

     The Company's 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. As of March 31, 2001, the Company is
in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of its debt
agreements.

5. INCOME TAXES

     No tax provision has been recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as
any provision necessary would be offset by the recognition of tax benefits not
recorded on fiscal year 2000 losses. The Company did not record tax benefits for
either the quarter ended March 31, 2000 or the year ended December 31, 2000,
since it had utilized all of its tax loss carry-backs in 1999 and the Company's
financial position and near-term operations outlook made the future realization
of tax benefits associated with tax loss carry-forwards uncertain.

6. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     The Company is organized in the following two segments: the Explosive
Metalworking Group and the Aerospace Group. The Explosive Metalworking Group
uses explosives to perform metal cladding, metal forming 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. The Aerospace Group machines, forms and welds parts
for the commercial aircraft, aerospace and defense industries.

     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. Segment information is presented for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 as follows:

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

General

     Dynamic Materials Corporation ("DMC" or the "Company") is a worldwide
leader in explosive metalworking and, through its Aerospace Group, is involved
in a variety of metal forming, machining, welding, and assembly activities. The
explosive metalworking business includes the use of explosives to perform
metallurgical bonding, or "metal cladding" and shock synthesis of synthetic
diamonds. The Company performs metal cladding using its proprietary
technologies. The Company's revenues from its explosive metalworking businesses,
as a proportion of total Company revenues, have declined in the past two years
as a result of a significant slowdown in global market demand for explosion
bonded clad metal products and the 1998 acquisitions of AMK Welding ("AMK"),
Spin Forge and Precision Machined Products ("PMP"). The Company's Aerospace
Group was formed from these three acquisitions and accounted for 22%, 42% and
39% of the Company's 1998, 1999 and 2000 revenues, respectively.

     Explosive Metalworking. Clad metal products are used in manufacturing
processes or environments that involve highly corrosive chemicals, high
temperatures and/or high pressure conditions. For example, the Company
fabricates clad metal tube sheets for heat exchangers. Heat exchangers are used
in a variety of high temperature, high pressure, highly corrosive chemical
processes, such as processing crude oil in the petrochemical industry and
processing chemicals used in the manufacture of synthetic fibers. In addition,
the Company has produced titanium clad plates used in the fabrication of metal
autoclaves to replace autoclaves made of brick and lead for two customers in the
mining industry. The Company believes that its clad metal products are an
economical, high-performance alternative to the use of solid corrosion-resistant
alloys. In addition to clad metal products, the explosive metalworking business
includes shock synthesis of synthetic diamonds.

     Aerospace Manufacturing. Products manufactured by the Aerospace Group are
typically made from sheet metal and forgings that are subsequently machined or
formed into precise, three-dimensional shapes that are held to tight tolerances.
Metal machining and forming is accomplished through traditional technologies,
including spinning, machining, rolling and hydraulic expansion. DMC also
performs welding services utilizing a variety of manual and automatic welding
techniques that include electron beam and gas tungsten arc welding processes.
The Company's forming and welding operations are often performed to support the
manufacture of completed assemblies and sub-assemblies required by its
customers. Fabrication and assembly services are performed utilizing the
Company's close-tolerance machining, forming, welding, inspection and other
special service capabilities. The Company's forming, machining, welding and
assembly operations serve a variety of product applications in the commercial
aircraft, aerospace, defense and power generation industries. Product
applications include tactical missile motor cases, titanium pressure tanks for
launch vehicles, and complex, high precision component parts for satellites.



                                       12




     On March 16, 2001, the Company announced that it has reached agreement to
acquire 100% of the stock of Nobleclad Europe S.A. ("Nobleclad") 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 unaudited
revenues of approximately $10.5 million in calendar year 2000. NEF is wholly
owned by Groupe SNPE and is a sister company to SNPE, Inc., which owns 55% of
the Company's common stock. The acquisition is expected to close in the third
quarter of 2001. The purchase price of approximately $5.4 million will be
financed through a $4.0 million intercompany note agreement between the Company
and SNPE, Inc. and the assumption of approximately $1.4 million in third party
bank debt associated with Nobleclad's planned acquisition of Nitro Metall from
NEF prior to the Company's purchase of Nobleclad stock.

     In 2000, the Company experienced significant operating losses as a result
of a significant decline in sales revenue and gross margin levels within its
Aerospace Group. The Company's Explosive Metalworking Group generated a small
operating income in 2000 after incurring significant operating losses in 1999.
The Company also experienced, and expects to continue to experience, quarterly
fluctuations in operating results caused by various factors, including the
timing and size of orders from major customers, customer inventory levels,
shifts in product mix, the occurrence of acquisition and divestiture-related
costs, and general economic conditions. The Company typically does not obtain
long-term volume purchase contracts from its customers. Quarterly sales and
operating results therefore depend on the volume and timing of backlog as well
as bookings received during the quarter. A significant portion of the Company's
operating expenses are fixed, and planned expenditures are based primarily on
sales forecasts and product development programs. If sales do not meet the
Company's expectations in any given period, the adverse impact on operating
results may be magnified by the Company's inability to adjust operating expenses
sufficiently or quickly enough to compensate for such a shortfall. In addition,
the Company uses numerous suppliers of alloys, steels and other materials for
its operations. The Company typically bears a short-term risk of alloy, steel
and other component price increases, which could adversely affect the Company's
gross profit margins. Although the Company will work with customers and
suppliers to minimize the impact of any component shortages, component shortages
have had, and are expected from time to time to have, short-term adverse effects
on the Company's business. Results of operations in any period should not be
considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.
Fluctuations in operating results may also result in fluctuations in the price
of the Company's common stock.

        Net income (loss)                                1.6          (9.0)

     Net Sales. Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 increased 8.6% to
$6,938,168 from $6,386,623 in the first quarter of 2000. The Company's Aerospace
Group, which was formed in 1998 as a result of the acquisitions of AMK, Spin
Forge and PMP, contributed $2,769,331 (39.9% of total sales) to 2001 first
quarter sales versus sales of $3,081,278 (48.2% of total sales) in the first
quarter of 2000. Sales by the Company's Explosive Metalworking Group, which
includes explosion bonding of clad metal and shock synthesis of synthetic
diamonds, increased 26.1% from $3,305,345 in the first quarter of 2000 to
$4,168,837 in the first quarter of 2001. The increase in Explosive Metalworking
Group sales reflects what management believes is an increase in global market
demand for clad metal as supported by first quarter 2001 new order bookings that
were at their highest quarterly level in more than two years.

     Gross Profit. The Company's gross profit for the quarter ended March 31,
2001 increased by 66.9% to $1,393,711 from $834,836 in the first quarter of
2000. The gross profit margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was 20.1%,
representing a 53.4% increase from the gross profit margin of 13.1% for the
first quarter of 2000. The gross profit margin for the Company's Explosive
Metalworking Group increased from 7.8% in the first quarter of 2000 to 23.0% in
the first quarter of 2001. The increase in the gross profit margin for the
Explosive Metalworking Group is due to improvements in product pricing and a
more favorable absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead cost into cost of
products sold as a result of the 26.1% increase in Explosive Metalworking Group
net sales. The gross profit margin for the Aerospace Group was 15.7% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to 18.8% in the first quarter of 2000.
This decrease relates principally to product mix differences between the two
quarters and unfavorable absorption of fixed manufacturing expenses into cost of
products sold at Spin Forge due to year-to-year sales decreases at this
location.

                                       14




     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001 decreased 12.4% to $760,201 from $867,531 in the
first quarter of 2000. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is
largely due to reductions in salaries, payroll taxes and benefits as well as
reductions in legal expenses. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales decreased from 13.6% in the first quarter of 2000 to
11.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

     Selling Expenses. Selling expenses decreased by 2.1% to $359,227 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $367,029 in the first quarter of 2000. Due to
the 8.6% increase in sales, selling expenses as a percentage of net sales
decreased from 5.7% in the first quarter of 2000 to 5.2% for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001.

     Income/Loss from Operations. Income from operations for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001 totaled $274,283, a $674,007 increase from the $399,724 operating
loss reported in the first quarter of 2000. This increase reflects a gross
profit increase of $558,875 primarily associated with increased sales and
improved margins related to the Company's Explosive Metalworking Group as well
as reductions in operating expenses totaling $115,132. Income from operations
for the Explosive Metalworking Group increased by $693,740 from a loss of
$388,437 for the first quarter of 2000 to income from operations of $305,303 for
the first quarter of 2001. The increase in income from operations for the
Explosive Metalworking Group is due primarily to improvements in pricing and the
favorable absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead costs into costs of
products sold that resulted from the 26.1% increase in Explosive Metalworking
Group net sales. Income from operations for the Aerospace Group declined by
$19,733 from a loss of $11,287 for the first quarter of 2000 to a loss from
operations of $31,020 for the first quarter of 2001. This decrease relates
principally to product mix differences between the two quarters and unfavorable
absorption of fixed manufacturing expenses into cost of products sold at Spin
Forge due to the year-to-year sales decrease at this location.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $164,737 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2001 from $362,697 in the first quarter of 2000. This decrease
resulted from the reduction in revolving credit debt that was made possible by
the equity invested in the Company by SNPE, Inc. on June 14, 2000.

     Income Tax Provision. No tax provision has been recorded for the quarter
ended March 31, 2001 as any provision necessary would be offset by the
recognition of tax benefits not recorded on year 2000 losses. The Company did
not record tax benefits for either the quarter ended March 31, 2000 or the year
ended December 31, 2000, since it had utilized all of its tax loss carry-backs
in 1999 and the Company's financial position and near-term operations outlook
made the future realization of tax benefits associated with tax loss
carry-forwards uncertain.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Historically, the Company has obtained most of its operational financing
from a combination of operating activities and an asset-backed revolving credit
facility. Due primarily to the operating losses the Company incurred during 1999
and the first quarter of 2000, the Company violated certain financial covenants
under both the revolving credit facility that was then in effect and the
reimbursement agreement related to the letter of credit supporting payment of
principal and interest under the Company's industrial revenue development bonds
(the "Bonds") used to finance the construction of its manufacturing facilities
in Pennsylvania. 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 shares 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. An additional $1,200,000 cash payment was made by SNPE to the
Company to purchase a five-year, 5% Convertible Subordinated Note that is
convertible in whole or in part into common stock by SNPE at a conversion price
of $6 per share. The Company also borrowed $3,500,000 on June 14, 2000 under a
new credit facility with SNPE that bears interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus
1.5% and may be increased to a maximum of $4,500,000 in total borrowings subject
to certain approvals by SNPE (as of March 31, 2001, $4,050,000 was drawn and
outstanding under this facility). Proceeds from the SNPE equity investment,
convertible subordinated note issuance and credit facility borrowings aggregated
$10,500,000 and enabled the Company to repay all outstanding borrowings under
its bank revolving credit facility on which the Company had been in default
since September 30, 1999. The bank revolving credit facility was terminated on
June 14, 2000. As a result of the SNPE debt and equity infusion, the Company was
also able to restructure financial covenants under the reimbursement agreement
with its bank relating to the industrial development revenue bonds and is
currently in full compliance with all provisions of its debt agreements. 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.

     The Company believes that its cash flow from operations and funds available
under its credit facility with SNPE, or a replacement credit facility with a
third party financial institution, will be sufficient to fund working capital,
debt service obligations and capital expenditure requirements of its current
business operations for the foreseeable future. SNPE has agreed to extend its
credit facility, which was originally callable upon 90 days' notice and had an
original maturity date of June 30, 2001, to March 31, 2002. Management of the
Company intends to replace the SNPE credit facility with a new third party
credit facility during the last half of 2001 or the early part of 2002 and
believes that the Company's strengthened balance sheet and improving operating
results will enable the Company to secure such third party financing on
reasonable terms. Until the Company is able to secure such third party financing
on reasonable terms, it will continue to rely on the financial support of SNPE.
Company management believes that it will be able to negotiate an increase in the

                                       16




SNPE credit facility during 2001 if the Company's working capital requirements
increase as a result of the anticipated sales growth during the year. A
significant portion of the Company's sales is derived from a relatively small
number of customers; therefore, the failure to perform existing contracts on a
timely basis, and to receive payment for such services in a timely manner, or to
enter into future contracts at projected volumes and profitability levels could
adversely affect the Company's ability to meet its cash requirements exclusively
through operating activities. Consequently, any restriction on the availability
of borrowing under the SNPE credit facility or a replacement facility could
negatively affect the Company's ability to meet its future cash requirements.
