                                                                    ------------


                UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INTRODUCTION:
- -------------

On February 14, 2003, Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc.'s ("the Company")
wholly-owned subsidiary, Norprop, Inc. ("Norprop"), closed its acquisition of
all of the stock of Pick and Pull Auto Dismantling, Inc., which is Norprop's 50%
partner in Pick-N-Pull Auto Dismantlers, a California general partnership (the
"Joint Venture"). In addition, Norprop purchased all of the membership interests
in Pick-N-Pull Auto Dismantlers, Stockton, LLC ("Stockton"), which is not part
of the Joint Venture, but operates the single largest volume Pick-N-Pull store.
Both of these entities (collectively referred to as "Pick-N-Pull") were acquired
from Bob Spence, who has managed the business of the Joint Venture.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been
prepared to give effect to the acquisition using the purchase method of
accounting. The assumptions and adjustments are described in the accompanying
notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. Additionally,
the Joint Venture and Stockton financial statements have been combined as the
entities are operated as a single business operation under common control. The
pro forma Balance Sheet as of November 30, 2002, has been prepared as if the
transaction had been completed on that date. The pro forma Statements of Income
for the year ended August 31, 2002 and the three-month period ended November 30,
2002, have been prepared as if the transaction had been completed on September
1, 2001. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for
illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial
position or results of operations that would have actually been reported had the
transaction occurred on those dates, nor is it necessarily indicative of the
future financial position or results of operations.

The pro forma combined financial statements include adjustments, which are based
upon preliminary estimates, to reflect the allocation of purchase price to the
acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Pick-N-Pull. The final allocation of
the purchase price is being determined and will be based upon actual net
tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary
purchase price allocation for Pick-N-Pull is subject to revision as more
detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair values of
Pick-N-Pull's assets and liabilities becomes available. Any change in the fair
value of the net assets of Pick-N-Pull will change the amount of the purchase
price allocable to goodwill. Additionally, the initial purchase price is subject
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, which provides for a purchase price
adjustment one year after closing based upon calendar year 2002 and 2003
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of
Pick-N-Pull. As defined by the Purchase Agreement, the contingent future
adjustment may increase or decrease the initial purchase price by up to $12
million. Therefore, final purchase accounting adjustments may differ materially
from the pro forma adjustments presented herein.

These unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based upon the
respective historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and
Pick-N-Pull. They should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated
financial statements of the Company, related notes and "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the
reports and other information the Company has on file with the SEC as well as
the audited historical financial statements and related notes of Pick-N-Pull
filed as Exhibit 99.1 of this 8-K/A current report.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
On February 14, 2003, Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. ("the Company") closed
its acquisition (the "Acquisition" ) of all of the stock of Pick and Pull Auto
Dismantling, Inc., which was the Company's 50% partner in Pick-N-Pull Auto
Dismantlers, a California general partnership (the "Joint Venture"), and all of
the membership interests in Pick-N-Pull Auto Dismantlers, Stockton, LLC
("Stockton"). The cost of the Acquisition consisted of $71.4 million cash paid
to the seller at closing, $3.3 million of debt assumed and immediately paid off,
and $0.7 million of acquisition costs. In addition, Norprop assumed
approximately $12.5 million of debt owed by the Joint Venture to the Company
bringing the total purchase price to $87.9 million (or $84.3 million net of the
seller's $3.6 million share of the Joint Venture's cash on hand at closing). The
Company accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting.

The unaudited pro forma combined Balance Sheet at November 30, 2002 is presented
to give effect to the Acquisition as if the transaction had been consummated on
that date. The unaudited pro forma combined Statements of Income for the year
ended August, 2002, and the three-month period ending November 30, 2002 are
presented as if the transaction had been consummated on September 1, 2001.
Additionally, the Joint Venture and Stockton financial statements have been
combined as the entities are operated as a single business operation under
common control (collectively referred to as "Pick-N-Pull").

The purchase price of the Acquisition was allocated to tangible and intangible
identifiable assets and liabilities assumed based on an estimate of their fair
values. Certain tangible net assets, such as real estate, are being valued by
independent third parties and the equipment is being valued by Company
management. The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of
the identifiable net assets acquired of approximately $70.5 million was
recognized as goodwill. Approximately $3.7 million of goodwill existed on the
Joint Venture's balance sheet prior to the Acquisition, but the Company's $1.7
million share of this amount was not shown separately in the Company's
consolidated balance sheet in accordance with the equity method of accounting.
Therefore, the total increase to goodwill related to the Acquisition was $72.2
million.

The initial purchase price is subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement,
which provides for a purchase price adjustment one year after closing based upon
calendar year 2002 and 2003 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) of Pick-N-Pull. As defined by the Purchase Agreement, the
contingent future adjustment may increase or decrease the initial purchase price
by up to $12 million.

The purchase price allocation has been prepared on a preliminary basis, and
reasonable changes are expected as additional information becomes available. The
following is a summary of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition (in millions):

            Property, plant and equipment             $  16.3
            Other tangible assets                         5.6
            Liabilities                                  (4.5)
            Goodwill                                     70.5
                                                      -------
                 Total                                $  87.9
                                                      =======

Goodwill of $70.5 million represents the excess of purchase price over the fair
value of the net tangible assets acquired, and the majority of it is not
deductible for tax purposes. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not
amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. The preliminary
purchase price allocation for Pick-N-Pull is subject to revision as more
detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair values of
Pick-N-Pull's assets and liabilities becomes available. Any change in the fair
value of the net assets of Pick-N-Pull will change the amount of the purchase
price allocable to goodwill. Final purchase accounting adjustments may therefore
differ materially from the pro forma adjustments presented here.

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 on September 1, 2002 and
Pick-N-Pull's adoption date was January 1, 2002. If both parties had adopted the
provisions of this pronouncement on September 1, 2001, amortization expense of
the combined companies of approximately $1.3 million would not have been
reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined Statements of Income for the
fiscal year ended August 31, 2002. The pro forma income and diluted pro forma
income per share would have been $12.7 million and $1.36, respectively.

2.    Pro Forma Adjustments

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform Pick-N-Pull's historical
amounts to the Company's financial statement presentation.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements reflect the
following pro forma adjustments:

      (a)  To reflect the cash payments for the acquisition of $74.7 million,
           which consisted of cash paid to the seller at closing of $71.4
           million and $3.3 million of related party debt assumed and
           immediately paid off. Not reflected is approximately $0.6 million of
           principal payments on related party debt made by Stockton between
           November 30, 2002 and February 14, 2003. If the transaction had
           occurred on November 30, 2002, the Company would have financed these
           cash payments by increasing borrowings under its existing credit
           facility.

      (b)  To eliminate the $25.0 million note payable owed by the Joint Venture
           to the Company as of the closing date (both the Seller's $12.5
           million share and the Company's $12.5 million share), and to
           eliminate the Company's corresponding note receivable. Not reflected
           is the $1.0 million principal payment made by the Joint Venture on
           this obligation between November 30, 2002 and February 14, 2003.

      (c)  To eliminate Stockton's previously existing goodwill of $6.2 million
           and all but the Company's $1.7 million share of the Joint Venture's
           previously existing goodwill and to establish goodwill resulting from
           the Acquisition of $70.0 million. The pro forma adjustment assumes
           the Acquisition occurred as of November 30, 2002. The amount will
           differ slightly from the amount recorded on February 14, 2003, due to
           changes in net assets of Pick-N-Pull between these two dates.

      (d)  To eliminate historical equity of Pick-N-Pull.

      (e)  To eliminate the Company's equity investment in the Joint Venture.

      (f)  To record the increase in fair market value of the property, plant
           and equipment acquired, the majority of which was land that is not
           depreciated.

      (g)  Subsequent to November 30, 2002, the Company conducted an
           environmental due diligence investigation. Based on new information
           obtained in this investigation, the Joint Venture accrued $2.1
           million in environmental liabilities for probable and reasonably
           estimable future remediation costs. This amount is excluded from the
           unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet because the new
           information was not available as of November 30, 2002.

      (h)  To eliminate intercompany revenues and the related cost of sales and
           profit, including profit remaining in ending inventory.

      (i)  To record estimated accrued acquisition costs.

      (j)  To eliminate the Company's share of income from the Joint Venture.

      (k)  To eliminate the Company's interest income on the Joint Venture's
           note receivable and the Joint Venture's corresponding interest
