                          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 PRINCIPLES

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") 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 June 2001, the FASB authorized the issuance of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the
purchase method of accounting for all business combinations initiated after June
30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 requires intangible assets to be recognized if they arise
from contractual or legal rights or are "separable", i.e., it is feasible that
they may be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, exchanged or pledged. As a
result, it is likely that more intangible assets will be recognized under SFAS
No. 141 than its predecessor, APB Opinion No.16 although in some instances
previously recognized intangibles will be subsumed into goodwill.


     Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill will no longer be amortized on a straight-line
basis over its estimated useful life, but will be tested for impairment on an
annual basis and whenever indicators of impairment arise. The goodwill
impairment test, which is based on fair value, is to be performed on a reporting
unit level. A reporting unit is defined as a SFAS No. 131 operating segment or
one level lower. Goodwill will no longer be allocated to other long-lived assets
for impairment testing under SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. Additionally,
goodwill on equity method investments will no longer be amortized; however, it
will continue to be tested for impairment in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments
in Common Stock. Under SFAS No. 142 intangible assets with indefinite lives will
not be amortized. Instead they will be carried at the lower cost or market value
and tested for impairment at least annually. All other recognized intangible
assets will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

                                       8



     SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001 although goodwill on business combinations consummated after July 1, 2001
will not be amortized. On adoption the company may need to record a cumulative
effect adjustment to reflect the impairment of previously recognized intangible
assets. In addition, goodwill on prior business combinations will cease to be
amortized. Had the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 at January 1, 2001 the Company
would not have recorded a goodwill amortization charge of $108,322 for the six
month period ended June 30, 2001. The Company has not determined the impact that
these Statements will have on intangible assets or whether a cumulative effect
adjustment will be required upon adoption.

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 June 30, 2001, the Company is
in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of its debt
agreements.

5. INCOME TAXES

     No income tax provision has been recorded for the six months ended June 30,
2001, as available net operating loss carry-forwards exceed pretax earnings
projected for the year ended December 31, 2001. If such carry-forwards are
utilized, the associated valuation allowance would be reversed when the Company
believes it is probable of realizing such tax loss carry-forwards. In addition,
any projected alternative minimum tax ("AMT") payable would be offset by the
recognition of deferred tax assets. The Company did not record tax benefits for
either the six months ended June 30, 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 net operating 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 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 and
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 as follows:

     During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 sales to no one
customer accounted for more than 10% of total net sales. During the three months
ended June 30, 2000, sales to one customer represented approximately $1,101,000
(13%) of total net sales and during the six months ended June 30, 2000, no one
customer accounted for more than 10% of total net sales.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On July 3, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of more than 99.9%
of the stock of Nobelclad Europe S.A. ("Nobelclad") from Nobel Explosifs France

                                       12




("NEF"). Nobelclad and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nitro Metall operate
cladding businesses located in Rivesaltes, France and Likenas, Sweden,
respectively, which generated combined unaudited revenues of approximately $10.7
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
purchase price of $4 million was financed by a note agreement between the
Company and SNPE, Inc. Third party bank debt held by Nobelclad in the amount of
9.5 million French Francs (approximately $1.2 million as of July 3, 2001) also
was assumed in the transaction.

     As a result of the Company and Nobelclad both being majority owned by
Groupe SNPE, the acquisition will be accounted for as a reorganization of
entities under common control. The acquisition was reported by the Company on a
Form 8-K, filed July 16, 2001 and financial statements will be reported by the
Company on a Form 8-K/A prior to September 14, 2001, which will include audited
historical financial statements of Nobelclad and Nitro Metall and pro forma
financial statements of the Company. The historical operating results of the
Company will be restated to reflect the addition of the Nobelclad and Nitro
Metall historical financial results back to June 2000, the period that Groupe
SNPE acquired its majority ownership in the Company. In addition, the Company's
prospective operating results will be reported and compared to the Company's
restated operating results for the periods subsequent to June 2000. The purchase
price of the acquisition will not be allocated to the net assets of Nobelclad
and the net assets will be accounted for at historical net book value due to the
entities being under common control. This will result in a deemed dividend being
recorded in July 2001 to reflect the issuance of the debt to Groupe SNPE for the
purchase of Nobelclad.



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. We perform metal cladding using our proprietary technologies. Our
revenues from our explosive metalworking businesses, as a proportion of our
total 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"). Our 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, we fabricate 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

                                       13




in the manufacture of synthetic fibers. In addition, we have 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. We believe that
our 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.

     On July 3, 2001, we completed our acquisition of more than 99.9% of the
stock of Nobelclad Europe S.A. ("Nobelclad") from Nobel Explosifs France
("NEF"). Nobelclad and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nitro Metall operate
cladding businesses located in Rivesaltes, France and Likenas, Sweden,
respectively, which generated combined unaudited revenues of approximately $10.7
million in calendar year 2000. NEF is wholly owned by Groupe SNPE and is a
sister company to SNPE, Inc., which owns 55% of our common stock. The purchase
price of $4 million was financed by a note agreement between the Company and
SNPE, Inc. We also assumed third party bank debt held by Nobelclad in the amount
of 9.5 million French Francs (approximately $1.2 million as of July 3, 2001) in
the transaction.

     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. We also perform
welding services utilizing a variety of manual and automatic welding techniques
that include electron beam and gas tungsten arc welding processes. Our 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 our close-tolerance machining,
forming, welding, inspection and other special service capabilities. Our
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.

     In 2000, we experienced significant operating losses as a result of a
significant decline in sales revenue and gross margin levels within our
Aerospace Group. Our Explosive Metalworking Group generated a small operating
income in 2000 after incurring significant operating losses in 1999. We also
experienced, and we expect 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. We typically do not obtain long-term volume purchase
contracts from our 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 our operating expenses is fixed, and
planned expenditures are based primarily on sales forecasts and product
development programs. If sales do not meet our expectations in any given period,
the adverse impact on operating results may be magnified by our inability to
adjust operating expenses sufficiently or quickly enough to compensate for such
a shortfall. In addition, we use numerous suppliers of alloys, steels and other
materials for our operations. We typically bear a short-term risk of alloy,
steel and other component price increases, which could adversely affect our
gross profit margins. Although we will work with customers and suppliers to

                                       14




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 our
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 our common
stock.

Net Sales. Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 increased by 1.6% to
$8,454,286 from $8,320,483 in the second quarter of 2000. Our Aerospace Group
contributed $3,209,844 (38.0% of total sales) to second quarter 2001 sales
versus sales of $2,943,210 (35.4% of total sales) in the second quarter of 2000.
Sales by the Explosive Metalworking Group, which includes explosion bonding of
clad metal and shock synthesis of synthetic diamonds, decreased by 2.5% from
$5,377,273 in the second quarter of 2000 to $5,244,442 in the second quarter of
2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, net sales increased by 4.7% to
$15,392,455 from $14,707,107 for the comparable period of 2000. Aerospace Group
sales for the six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $5,979,176 (38.8% of total
sales), a decrease of 0.8% from sales of $6,024,488 (41.0% of total sales)
reported for the comparable period of 2000. Sales by the Explosive Metalworking
Group for the comparable six-month period increased by 8.4% from $8,682,619 in
2000 to $9,413,279 in 2001.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 increased by
110.4% to $2,239,073 from $1,064,165 in the second quarter of 2000. For the six
months ended June 30, 2001, gross profit increased 91.3% to $3,632,783 from
$1,898,999 in the comparable period in 2000. The gross profit margin for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 was 23.6%, representing a 83.0% increase from the
gross profit margin of 12.9% for the first six months of 2000. The gross profit
margin for the Explosive Metalworking Group increased from 12.0% in the second
quarter of 2000 to 33.6% in the second quarter of 2001. For the comparable

                                       15




six-month periods, Explosive Metalworking gross margins increased from 10.4% in
2000 to 28.9% in 2001. The increase in gross profit margins for the Explosive
Metalworking Group is attributable to improved market conditions, favorable
changes in product mix and continual improvements in operating efficiencies at
our new production facility in Mount Braddock, Pennsylvania. The gross profit
margin for the Aerospace Group was 14.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to 14.2% in the second quarter of 2000. For the comparable six-month
periods, Aerospace Group gross margins decreased from 16.6% in 2000 to 15.2% in
2001. This decrease relates principally to product mix differences between the
comparable periods and increases in manufacturing expenses at our PMP division.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the quarter
ended June 30, 2001 increased by 2.5% to $931,838 from $909,210 in the second
quarter of 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, general and
administrative expenses decreased by 4.8% to $1,692,040 from $1,776,741 in the
comparable period of 2000. As a percentage of net sales, general and
administrative expenses increased from 10.9% in the second quarter of 2000 to
11.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and decreased from 12.1% to 11.0% for
the comparable six-month periods.

Selling Expense. Selling expenses increased by 8.3% to $457,462 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2001 from $422,401 in the second quarter of 2000. For the six
months ended June 30, 2001, selling expenses increased by 3.5% to $816,689 from
$789,430 in the comparable period of 2000. Selling expenses for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2001 include approximately $86,500 of accrued bonus
expense associated with the Explosive Metalworking Group's strong second quarter
financial performance. Selling expenses for the three and six months ended June
30, 2000 included $80,284 of non-recurring expenses associated with severance
pay and other employee separation costs. Selling expenses as a percentage of net
sales increased from 5.1% in the second quarter of 2000 to 5.4% for the quarter
ended June 30, 2001 and increased from 5.3% for the six months ended June 30,
2000 to 5.4% for the comparable period of 2001.

Income (Loss ) from Operations. For the second quarter ended June 30, 2001, we
reported $849,773 in income from operations compared to a $267,446 loss from
operations for the second quarter of 2000. This improvement is a result of the
110.4% increase in gross profit discussed above. For the six months ended June
30, 2001, we reported operating income of $1,124,054 compared to an operating
loss of $667,172 in the comparable period of 2000. This improvement is the
result of the $1,733,784 increase in gross profit for the six months ended June
30, 2001 versus the comparable period of 2000.

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, our Explosive Metalworking
Group reported income from operations of $878,091 and $1,183,393, respectively,
as compared to operating losses of $67,063 and $455,501 for the respective
comparable periods of 2000. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001,
our Aerospace Group reported a loss from operations of $28,318 and $59,339,
respectively, as compared to a loss from operations of $200,383 and $211,671 for
the comparable periods of 2000.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $172,542 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2001 from $342,436 in the second quarter of 2000. For the six months
ended June 30, 2001, interest expense decreased to $340,421 from $705,132 in the
comparable period of 2000. These decreases resulted from the reduction in

                                       16




revolving credit debt that was made possible by the equity invested in us by
SNPE, Inc. on June 14, 2000.

     Income Tax Benefit (Expense). No income tax provision has been recorded for
the six months ended June 30, 2001, as available net operating loss
carry-forwards exceed pretax earnings projected for the year ended December 31,
2001. If such carry-forwards are utilized, the associated valuation allowance
would be reversed when the Company believes it is probable of realizing such tax
loss carry-forwards. In addition, any projected alternative minimum tax ("AMT")
payable would be offset by the recognition of deferred tax assets. The Company
did not record tax benefits for either the six months ended June 30, 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
net operating loss carry-forwards uncertain.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Historically, we have obtained most of our operational financing from a
combination of operating activities and an asset-backed revolving credit
facility. Due primarily to the operating losses we incurred during 1999 and the
first quarter of 2000, we 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 our industrial revenue development bonds (the "Bonds") used to
finance the construction of our manufacturing facilities in Pennsylvania. On
June 14, 2000 our 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 our common stock at a price of $2.75 per share thereby 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 us 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. We 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 maximum
borrowings of $5,500,000 until August 31, 2001, and $4,500,000 thereafter,
subject to certain approvals by SNPE (as of June 30, 2001, $5,000,000 was drawn
and outstanding under this facility but the Company intends to repay $500,000 in
order to meet the reduced capacity requirement as of August 31, 2001). Proceeds
from the SNPE equity investment, convertible subordinated note issuance and
credit facility borrowings aggregated $10,500,000 and enabled us to repay all
outstanding borrowings under our bank revolving credit facility on which we 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,
we were also able to restructure financial covenants under the reimbursement
agreement with our bank relating to the industrial development revenue bonds and
we are currently in full compliance with all provisions of our debt agreements.
The three-year bank letter of credit that supports our industrial development
revenue bonds expires in September 2001. We have obtained a verbal commitment
for a replacement letter of credit arrangement on terms we believe to be more
favorable than those of the existing letter of credit and underlying
reimbursement agreement, and we are in the process of formalizing agreements
with the bank.

                                       17



     We believe that our cash flow from operations and funds available under our
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 our 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 and believes that our strengthened balance
sheet and improving operating results will enable us to secure such third party
financing on reasonable terms. Until we are able to secure such third party
financing on reasonable terms, we will continue to rely on the financial support
of SNPE. A significant portion of our 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 our ability to meet our 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 our ability to meet our future cash requirements.
