            NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
                             (dollars in thousands)

   The pro forma financial data have been derived by the application of pro
forma adjustments to Citation's historical financial statements as of the date
noted. The merger will be accounted for as a recapitalization which will have
no impact on the historical basis of Citation's assets and liabilities. The pro
forma financial data assume that no stockholders assert appraisal rights in
connection with the merger.

   (a) Pro forma adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance
Sheet are summarized in the following table and are described in the notes that
follow:

      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET--(Continued)
- ---------------------
(2) The adjustments represent the payment of the cash portion of the merger
    consideration to existing stockholders. Subsequent to the merger, existing
    stockholders will own 790,115 shares, or approximately 7.0%, of the
    outstanding common stock of Citation as the surviving corporation.
(3) Compensation expense of $3,278 ($1,967 after related tax effect) relates to
    the cancellation of all outstanding stock options at the difference between
    $18.10 per share and the exercise price of the options and $1,663 relates
    to the payment of accrued benefits under Citation's non-qualified deferred
    compensation plan.
(4) The adjustment represents the estimated transaction fees and expenses of
    $30,800. The portion of estimated transaction fees and expenses
    attributable to the debt financing is $16,200, which will be recorded as
    debt issuance costs and therefore amortized over the expected life of the
    debt to be issued. Such estimated debt issuance costs include estimated
    fees and expenses payable to banks and related advisors. The remaining
    estimated transaction fees and expenses of $14,600 represent costs
    associated with the payment of the cash portion of the merger consideration
    to existing stockholders.
(5) This adjustment represents the repayment of existing indebtedness, except
    for capital leases, related accrued interest and the write-off of
    unamortized debt issuance costs related to the existing debt. The
    unamortized debt issuance costs of $652 ($391 after related tax effect)
    will be written off as an extraordinary charge upon repayment of the
    existing indebtedness.

                              CITATION CORPORATION

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME
                             (dollars in thousands)

   The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data have been derived by the
application of pro forma adjustments to Citation's historical financial
statements for the periods indicated. The merger has been accounted for as a
recapitalization, which will have no impact on the historical basis of
Citation's assets and liabilities. The pro forma financial data assume that no
stockholders assert appraisal rights in connection with the merger.

   The pro forma adjustments to the statements of income exclude $3,278 ($1,967
after related tax effect) of employee compensation expense relating to the
cancellation of the existing stock options and $652 ($391 after related tax
effect) related to the write-off of existing unamortized debt issuance costs.
These amounts represent non-recurring expenses which Citation anticipates will
be recorded in its consolidated statement of income concurrent with the
effective date of the merger.

(a) The following acquisitions, both individually and in the aggregate, did not
    constitute acquisitions of "significant subsidiaries," within the meaning
    of SEC rules regarding financial reporting. The unaudited pro forma
    statement of income for the fiscal year ended September 27, 1998 gives
    effect to the acquisitions of Camden Casting Center ("Camden"), which
    occurred on December 1, 1997, Dycast, Inc. ("Dycast"), which occurred on
    January 8, 1998, Amcast Precision Products, Inc. ("Citation Precision"),
    which occurred on March 30, 1998, Custom Products Corporation ("Custom"),
    which occurred on November 17, 1998, and CT South Inc. ("Citation Marion"),
    which occurred on December 28, 1998, as if each such acquisition had
    occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year. The unaudited pro forma
    statements of income for the nine months ended June 27, 1999 and the twelve
    months ended August 1, 1999 give effect to the acquisitions of Custom and
    Citation Marion as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods
    presented.

(b) For the fiscal year ended September 27, 1998, the nine month period ended
    June 27, 1999 and the twelve months ended August 1, 1999, the adjustments
    represent the (i) reduced depreciation expense, reflected in cost of sales,
    related to the net write down of fixed assets in purchase accounting of
    ($13,567) amortized primarily over a 12-year life; (ii) additional goodwill
    amortization, reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses,
    based on the fair values of the net assets acquired of $51,734 amortized
    over a 20-year life; (iii) additional interest expense on the increased
    borrowings of $98,234 at weighted average interest rates of 7.28%, 7.00%
    and 7.00%, respectively; and (iv) the pro forma tax effect of the above
    adjustments.

(c) Represents an adjustment for the historical operating results of the
    Oberdorfer Industries facility, which was sold on June 16, 1999. The sale
    of the Oberdorfer Industries facility did not constitute a disposition of a
    "significant subsidiary," within the meaning of SEC rules regarding
    financial reporting.

(d) Represents (i) an annual monitoring fee of $848 that will be paid by
    Citation to Kelso & Company; (ii) reduced compensation expense of $755,
    $351, and $464 for the fiscal year ended September 27, 1998; the nine month
    period ended June 27, 1999 and the twelve months ended August 1, 1999 for
    executives whose employment with Citation will not continue after the
    merger; and (iii) reduced costs associated with certain public company
    related expenses of $212, $266 and $324 for the fiscal year ended September
    27, 1998; the nine month period ended June 27, 1999 and the twelve months
    ended August 1, 1999 that will not continue after the merger.




(e) The recapitalization and offering adjustments to interest expense reflect
    the following:


                                                             Nine     Twelve

(f) Represents the tax effect of the recapitalization and offering adjustments.
(g) EBITDA is defined, for any period, as income before interest expense,
    provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other expenses
    (income) and impairment charge. EBITDA is presented because it is a widely
    accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to service and/or incur
    indebtedness. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income
    as a measure of Citation's operating results or to cash flow as a measure
    of liquidity. In addition, although the EBITDA measure of performance is
    not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles, it is widely
    used by various companies as a general measure of a company's performance
    because it assists in comparing performance on a relatively consistent
    basis across companies without regard to depreciation and amortization,
    which can vary significantly depending on accounting methods (particularly
    where acquisitions are involved) or non-operating factors such as
    historical costs bases. Because EBITDA is not calculated identically by all
    companies, the presentation herein may not be strictly comparable to other
    similarly titled measures of other companies.
