          AND COMPANY

          FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
          AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1995

                                   3



               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Management of Detaclad:


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets to be acquired of
the Detaclad Business of E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company (the
"Business") as of December 31, 1995, and the related statements of
revenues and direct operating expenses for the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994.  These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Business's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  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.

As described in Note 1, the accompanying financial statements were
prepared to present the assets to be acquired and the revenues and
direct operating expenses of the Business, which does not have a
separate legal status or existence, and are not intended to be a
complete presentation of the assets and liabilities or the results of
operations of the Business.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the assets to be acquired of the
Business as of December 31, 1995, and the revenues and direct
operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
     ----------------------

The accompanying financial statements present, on a historical cost
basis, the statement of assets to be acquired and the statements of
revenues and direct operating expenses of the Detaclad Business (the
"Business") of E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company ("DuPont").  The
Business was part of the specialty chemicals division of DuPont and
does not have a separate legal status or existence.  The Business's
results of operations have historically been commingled with the
specialty chemicals division.  These statements are presented as if
the Business had existed as a separate entity during the periods
presented.  The accompanying financial statements are not intended to
be a complete presentation of the assets, liabilities or the results
of operations of the Business on a stand-alone basis.

The Business incurs certain common costs that relate to both the
Business and other DuPont operations.  The accompanying financial
statements do not include any allocation of these common costs.  In
addition, income taxes have been excluded from the accompanying
financial statements as the responsibility for such taxes is being
retained by DuPont.

2.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
     -----------------

On July 22, 1996, DuPont entered into an agreement with Dynamic
Materials Corporation ("DMC") to sell certain assets of the Business
to DMC for approximately $5.0 million.  The purchase price is subject
to an adjustment after closing on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the
extent that the actual value of the inventory and accounts receivable
at closing are not equal to the estimates used to determine the
purchase price.

3.   ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS:
     --------------------------

The Business is engaged in the explosion bonded clad metal business. 
Primary end products made by these cladded metals include bi-metal and
tri-metal materials used in the superstructure of naval ships,
electronic packaging equipment and heat exchangers used in nuclear and
non-nuclear power plants.

4.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
     -------------------------------------------

Inventories
- -----------

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market; cost is
generally determined by the average cost method.

Inventories consist of the following:

                             December 31,     June 30, 
                                 1995           1996

                               =========       ========

Interim Financial Statements
- ----------------------------

The financial statements as of June 30, 1996, and for the six months
ended June 30, 1996, are unaudited.  In the opinion of management of
the Business, the unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 1996,
and for the six months ended June 30, 1996, include all adjustments,
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation.  The results of operations for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

Property and Equipment
- ----------------------

Property 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 assets as follows:

          Building and improvements                    3-25 years
          Manufacturing equipment and tooling          3-15 years
          Furniture, fixtures and computer equipment   3-10 years
          Vehicles                                      3-5 years

                                   8
Property and equipment consist of the following:

                                                December 31,  June 30,

Revenue Recognition
- -------------------

The Business's contracts with its customers generally require the
delivery of several products per contract.  The Business records
revenue from its contracts upon shipment of completed products to the
customer.  If, as a contract proceeds toward completion, projected
total cost on an individual contract indicates a potential loss, the
Business provides currently for such loss.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

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

6.   TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
     -----------------------------

The Business sells certain products to other DuPont businesses and
divisions.  Revenues recorded for these sales approximated $20,000,
$47,000, and $580,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
and the six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.  The selling
price associated with these revenues approximates the selling price
that could have been charged to unaffiliated customers.

               1997                                  78
               1998                                  68
               1999                                  40
               2000                                  40

$83,000 and $36,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
and for the six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.

8.   SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER:

One customer accounted for approximately 28%, 18% and 24% of net sales
for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, and for the six months
ended June 30, 1996, respectively.

                     DYNAMIC MATERIALS CORPORATION

          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




On July 22, 1996, E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company ("DuPont")
entered into an agreement to sell Dynamic Materials Corporation ("DMC"
or the "Company") certain assets of their Detaclad Business
("Detaclad") for approximately $5.0 million.  The purchase price is
subject to an adjustment after closing on a dollar-for-dollar basis to
the extent that the actual value of the inventory and accounts
receivable at closing are not equal to the estimates used to determine
the purchase price.

The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements of
DMC illustrate the effect of the Company's acquisition of certain
assets of Detaclad.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet
is presented as of June 30, 1996, and illustrates the effects of the
acquisition, using the purchase method of accounting, and financing as
if they had occurred on that date.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Statements of Operations are presented for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, and for the year ended December 31, 1995, and
illustrate the effects of the acquisition and the financing as if they
had occurred on January 1, 1995.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements should be read
in conjunction with the historical financial statements of DMC
included in DMC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995, DMC's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, and the historical financial statements of
Detaclad included elsewhere herein.  The pro forma adjustments are
based on preliminary information about Detaclad's assets acquired and
results of operations.  Final purchase price allocations will be based
on a more complete evaluation and may differ from those shown herein. 
However, the management of DMC believes that the assumptions utilized
provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of
the acquisition and the related incremental financing and that the pro
forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are
properly applied in the accompanying pro forma financial information. 
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements may not be
indicative of DMC's actual operating results or financial position had
the transactions occurred as of the dates indicated above, nor do they
purport to indicate operating results or financial position which may
be attained in the future.
