MCCLAIN INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of McClain
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such Statements do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring
items and the operating charge described in note 7, considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results
for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
September 30, 2001. For further information, refer to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000.
2. Inventories
Inventories at June 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 are summarized as
follows:
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2001 September 30, 2000
-------------------------------------------------
Materials and Supplies $ 15,050,839 $ 23,918,300

3. Earnings per Common Share and Common Equivalent Share:
Earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the periods, including a dual
presentation and reconciliation of "basic" and "diluted" per share
amounts. Diluted reflects the potential dilution of all common stock
equivalents for the periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 options to
purchase 146,983 and 239,665 shares, respectively, were excluded from
the computation of earnings per share because the options' exercise
prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
4. Depreciation
For the nine months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, depreciation charges
were $2,111,053 and $2,140,958, respectively. Accumulated depreciation
totaled $25,120,241 and $23,259,276 at June 30, 2001 and September 30,
2000, respectively.
5. Debt
The Company's debt agreements contain certain restrictive covenants
that require the Company to, among other things, meet certain net worth
and working capital requirements along with maintaining various
financial ratios. As the result of non compliance with certain of the
financial covenants, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement
with its principal lending institution in June of 2001 and expiring
August 31, 2001. Accordingly, the debt related to these agreements has
been shown as a current liability.
6. Contingencies
Product Liability
As a manufacturer of industrial products, the Company is occasionally
subjected to various product liability claims. Such claims typically
involve personal injury or wrongful death associated with the use or
misuse of the Company's products. The Company is currently defending
certain legal proceedings involving allegations of product liability
relating to products manufactured and sold by the Company.
Historically, such claims have not resulted in material losses to the
Company in any one year, and the Company maintains product liability
insurance in amounts believed by management to be adequate.

MCCLAIN INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
McClain E-Z Pack, Inc., as successor to Galion Holding Company (GHC),
pursuant to an indemnification it provided to the seller in connection
with GHC's July 1992 acquisition of the Galion operations, is currently
defending a number of legal proceedings involving product liability
claims arising out of products manufactured and sold prior to the
acquisition. These claims are covered by insurance and many of these
cases have been settled. In addition, the acquisition agreement called
for the seller to share in the payment of certain costs related to the
defense of these cases. On December 29, 1998 the Company reached a
settlement agreement with the seller, the terms of which called for the
Company to release the seller from its obligations related to product
liability claims under the Galion acquisition agreement in exchange for
a cash payment of $1,050,000.
A reserve to provide for these product claims was established at the
acquisition date. Since many of the cases have been settled and
insurance coverage exists, management believes that the ongoing costs
to defend these claims will not exceed the amount accrued on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2001. Nevertheless,
it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of any product
liability claim, and any such claim not fully covered by insurance, as
well as adverse publicity from a product claim, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.
Environmental Matters
The Company's operations are subject to extensive federal, state and
local regulation under environmental laws and regulations concerning,
among other things, emissions into the air, discharges into the waters
and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and
disposal of waste and other materials. Inherent in manufacturing
operations and in owning real estate is the risk of environmental
liabilities as a result of both current and past operations, which
cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company has incurred and will
continue to incur costs, on an ongoing basis, associated with
environmental regulatory compliance in its business.
Labor Union Matters
Certain of the Company's hourly employees are represented by various
labor unions pursuant to collective bargaining agreements which expire
between November 2002 and June 2003.

MCCLAIN INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
On February 23, 1995, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)
conducted an election in response to a petition filed by a local union
(Union) to represent the hourly employees at the Company's Macon,
Georgia plant. The ballots of certain employees were challenged as
ineligible. The Union filed charges asserting that the Company
committed various unfair labor practices, which affected the election
results, and that the challenged ballots should be counted. On October
17, 1996, the NLRB upheld the unfair labor practice charges and on
November 5, 1996, the NLRB determined that the results of the election
were in favor of the Union. The Company continues to vigorously defend
against the unfair labor practice allegations. The Company does not
believe a final decision upholding the Union certification or the
unfair labor practice charges would have a material adverse effect on
the Company. The Company believes that relations with the hourly
employees at McClain of Georgia are generally satisfactory. There have
been no work stoppages due to labor difficulties.
Other Legal Matters
The Company is also involved in routine litigation incidental to its
business. Management believes that the resolution of these matters will
not materially affect the consolidated financial statements.
7. Other Matters
The Company recorded a $1,100,000 charge against operations in March
2001 primarily related to the reduction of certain truck chassis to
their estimated realizable value and for various severance packages for
terminated employees.
8. Segment Information
The Company operates in three principal operating segments 1)
Manufactured Equipment, 2) Truck Chassis Sales, and 3) Leasing
Operations. Management evaluates the performance of its operating
segments separately to individually monitor the different factors
affecting performance. The Company measures the performance of its
operating segments based on net revenue and operating income. Income
taxes are managed on a Company-wide basis. Segment performance is also
evaluated based on profit or loss before income taxes.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Net sales decreased 34.1% to $26.8 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2001 (Quarter 2001) from $40.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
(Quarter 2000). The decrease was due primarily to slumping sales resulting from
the slowdown in the manufacturing sector of the economy. McClain E-Z Pack's
sales decreased 39.4% or $10.0 million during the Quarter 2001 compared to the
Quarter 2000 while McClain Truck sales decreased 15.6% or $1.2 million during
the Quarter 2001 compared to the Quarter 2000. These decreases were the result
of the current economic slowdown and limited capital expenditures in the hauling
industry. Sales of the Company's dump body products decreased by 24.4% or $1.1
million for the Quarter 2001 compared to the Quarter 2000 due to the continued
slump and excess production capacity in the dump body markets. The sales of the
McClain Truck division accounted for 31.0% of the Company's sales for the
Quarter 2001 compared to 18.75% of the Company's sales for the Quarter 2000.
Cost of goods sold increased to 85.3% for the Quarter 2001 from 83.3%
for the Quarter 2000 due to the lower sales volume and an increase in the
percentage of chassis sales to total sales. The gross profit margin on
manufactured products decreased to 17.65% for the Quarter 2001 compared to 20.4%
for the Quarter 2000 due primarily to the lower sales volume. The McClain Truck
division had a gross profit of 8.7% for the Quarter 2001 compared to a gross
loss of 1.4% for the Quarter 2000.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses increased to 14.11% of net
sales for the Quarter 2001 from 12.38% of net sales for the Quarter 2000 due
primarily the lower sales volume.
The Company had a Net Loss of 0.64% of sales for the Quarter 2001
compared to a Net Income 0.86% of sales for the Quarter 2000. The loss was due
primarily to reduced sales volumes throughout the Company's product lines.
Net sales decreased 33.1% to $72.6 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2001 (nine months 2001) from $108.6 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2000 (nine months 2000). The decrease was due primarily to slumping
sales resulting from the slowdown in the economy. McClain E-Z Pack's sales
decreased 35.0% or $23.3 million during the nine months 2001 compared to the
nine months 2000 while McClain Truck sales decreased 32.2% or $7.0 million
during the nine months 2001 compared to the nine months 2000. These decreases
were the result of the continuing economic slowdown and limited capital
expenditures in the hauling industry. Sales of the Company's dump body products
decreased by 30.0% or $4.5 million for the nine months 2001 compared to the nine
months 2000 due to the continued slump and excess production capacity in the
dump body markets. The sales of the McClain Truck division accounted for 25.0%
of the Company's sales for the nine months 2001 compared to 19.7% of the
Company's sales for the nine months 2000.

Cost of goods sold increased to 84.7% for the nine months 2001 from
82.6% for the nine months 2000 due to the lower sales volume and an increase in
the percentage of chassis sales to total sales. The gross profit margin on
manufactured products decreased to 19.2% for the nine months 2001 compared to
22.5% for the nine months 2000. The McClain Truck division had a gross loss of
.51% for the nine months 2001 compared to a gross profit of 2.3% for the nine
months 2000.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses increased to 16.9% of net
sales for the nine months 2001 from 12.17% of net sales for the nine months 2000
as a result of the lower sales volume.
The Company had a Net Loss of 3.61% of sales for the nine months 2001
compared to a Net Income of 1.50% of sales for the nine months 2000. The loss
was due primarily to reduced sales volumes throughout the Company's product
lines and a $1.1 million charge taken to operations in March 2001. This charge
was primarily related to the reduction of certain truck chassis to their
estimated realizable value and for various severance packages for terminated
employees.
The Company had negative working capital of $10.0 million at June 30,
2001 compared to positive working capital of $59.6 million at September 30, 2000
(see subsequent discussion regarding the Company's debt agreements). The ratio
of current assets to current liabilities was 0.87:1 at June 30, 2001 and 3.65:1
at September 30, 2000. The Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.4
million at June 30, 2001. Cash flows provided by operations were $7.1 million
for the nine months ended June 30, 2001.
The Company's debt agreements contain certain restrictive covenants
that require the Company to, among other things, meet certain net worth and
working capital requirements along with maintaining various financial ratios. As
the result of non compliance with certain of the financial covenants, the
Company entered into a forbearance agreement with its principal lending
institution in June of 2001 and expiring August 31, 2001. Accordingly, the debt
related to these agreements has been shown as a current liability. The Company
is currently exploring other options while it negotiates with its principal
lender to extend the forbearance period or amend its current agreements to among
other things reset those covenants that are currently out of compliance and
extend the maturity dates on certain of its revolving credit agreements. While
management believes it will be successful in its negotiations with it principal
lender or in obtaining an alternative financing source, that outcome is not
guaranteed. If either of these options are ultimately unavailable to the Company
and the principal lender exercises it right to accelerate the repayment of the
outstanding debt, the Company would be unable to pay the amount outstanding.

Management believes, that if its principal lender extends the
forbearance period, the negotiations discussed above are successful or the
Company secures an alternative financing source, that the Company's cash flow,
together with the credit available to it under existing debt facilities, will
provide it with adequate cash for its working capital needs for the next 12
months (For further information on the Company's debt agreements, refer to the
Consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000). If
these options are ultimately unavailable to the Company and the principal lender
exercises it right to accelerate the repayment of the outstanding debt, the
Company would be unable to pay the amount outstanding.
