<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of OmniSource Corporation and subsidiaries as of September&nbsp;30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income,
cash flows, and changes in stockholders' equity and common stock subject to redemption for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
our opinion, the 2006 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of OmniSource Corporation and subsidiaries
as of September&nbsp;30, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Principles of Consolidation  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OmniSource Corporation and its wholly and majority owned or controlled subsidiaries (the Company).
The equity interests in these majority owned or controlled subsidiaries owned by outside investors are reflected as minority interest in the consolidated financial statements. Intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Company's Business  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company, headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, is a leading collector, processor, and broker of scrap metal in North America. The Company operates over 30
scrap processing, collection, and scrap management facilities in the Midwest, brokerage offices in Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, Missouri, and Ontario, an aluminum smelting operation in Indiana, and has
investments in various joint ventures and closely-held companies that process ferrous and non-ferrous scrap. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
2006 and 2005, no single customer comprised a significant amount of total revenues or accounts receivable. In 2004, sales to Steel Dynamics,&nbsp;Inc. comprised 20% of total
revenues. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Approximately
20% of the Company's workforce is subject to collective bargaining agreements. Of the workforce represented by the collective bargaining agreements, approximately 54% are
working under contracts that expire prior to September&nbsp;2007. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Revenue Recognition  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sales of processed products are recognized when the products are shipped. Sales relating to brokerage operations are recognized upon the receipt of the materials
by the customer. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Cash and Cash Equivalents  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Inventories  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Investments  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investments in joint ventures and closely-held companies in which the Company's ownership is between 20% and 50%, and for which the Company does not
have effective control, are carried on the equity basis. Investments in closely-held companies in which the Company does not exercise control and its ownership is less than 20% are carried
at cost. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
June&nbsp;2004, the Company purchased a 50% ownership interest in Carolinas Recycling Group, LLC (CRG), a collector and processor of scrap metal headquartered in Spartanburg, South
Carolina, for $20,781,250 in cash, which was funded through the Company's credit facility and $1,093,750 in notes </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Derivatives  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company uses commodity futures contracts and used an interest rate swap agreement to manage its exposure to commodities and interest rate fluctuations. The
Company enters into commodity futures contracts to minimize risk of price fluctuations in connection with certain of its inventories and product sale and purchase commitments. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company had an interest rate swap agreement in notional amount of $20&nbsp;million, which converted variable rate Eurodollar obligations to fixed rate obligations with an effective
interest rate of 5.77%. The swap matured in September&nbsp;2005. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company's commodity futures contracts and interest rate swap agreement do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No.&nbsp;133, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, and therefore are adjusted to fair value through income. In 2006, 2005, and 2004, the Company recorded unrealized net gains of
$7,119,613, $2,456,877, and $1,235,035, respectively, in material expense related to commodity futures contracts. Also, in 2005, and 2004, the Company recorded an unrealized net gain of $674,095, and
$949,476, respectively, in other income (expense) related to the interest rate swap. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Property and Equipment  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Property and equipment are recorded at cost and include interest on funds borrowed to finance construction. Provisions for depreciation are computed on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging from 10 to 40&nbsp;years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 15&nbsp;years for equipment. Repairs and maintenance are
expensed as incurred. Gains and losses on the disposal of property and equipment are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets are less then the assets' carrying value. If impairment has occurred, an impairment loss would be recognized for the excess of the carrying value over the
fair value of the assets, less any costs of
disposal. Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale are considered held and used until disposed. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Financial Instruments  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financial instruments for which their carrying value approximates fair value consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, investments,
accounts payable, and long-term debt. The Company included the fair value of commodity futures of $10,931,000 and $3,812,000 in other current assets at September&nbsp;30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Goodwill and Other Intangibles  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;142, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, goodwill and other intangible
assets with an indefinite life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually, or more often if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate
indicate that there may be impairment. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives, which range from 3 to 15&nbsp;years. Based on the Company's review, no
impairment charges have been recorded. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In March&nbsp;2006, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of a scrap operation in Indianapolis, Indiana. The assets purchased consisted primarily
of heavy equipment, land, buildings, accounts receivable and inventory used in the business of recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Results of operations of the acquisition are
included in the Company's results of operations since the date of acquisition. In conjunction with the purchase of the scrap operation, the Company increased its equity investment in an existing joint
venture with facilities located in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, Indiana (the Joint Venture). As a result, the Company's investment in the Joint Venture increased from 33.3% to 66.7% and, accordingly,
the results of operations of the Joint Venture are included in the Company's results of operations since the date of the transaction. Previously, the Company's interest was recorded as an investment
on an equity basis. The total purchase price was $44,170,590 in cash, which was funded through the Company's credit facility. The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the $18,240,631 fair
market value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in March&nbsp;2006. The initial purchase price allocations may be adjusted
within one year of the purchase date for changes in estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
Company may contribute amounts at the discretion of management. The expense related to the profit-sharing plan was $1,982,000, $1,500,000, and $1,500,000 for the years ended September&nbsp;30,

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain
employees are covered by union sponsored, collectively bargained, multi-employer pension plans. Contributions and costs are determined in accordance with the provisions of
negotiated labor contracts based generally on fixed amounts per hours worked. In 2006, the Company effected a complete withdrawal from a multi-employer pension plan. In accordance with Federal
legislation, the pension fund assessed the Company a $1,300,000 withdrawal liability due in equal quarterly payments over 7<SUP>1</SUP>/<SMALL>2</SMALL> years. The $1,300,000 liability is recorded on the
consolidated balance sheet as of September&nbsp;30, 2006 in other accrued expenses. Information from the administrators of other plans is not readily available to permit the Company to determine its
share, if any, of unfunded vested benefits or accumulated plan benefits. The Company is not aware of any event which would result in a material withdrawal liability to the Company associated with any
other multi-employer pension plan. Total contributions made under all multi-employer pension plans were $1,000,000, $1,014,000, and $852,000 for the years ended September&nbsp;30, 2006, 2005 and

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OmniSource Corporation and its majority owned or controlled subsidiaries (the
"Company"). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim
financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of a normal recurring nature), which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for these periods. The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction
with the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2006. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December&nbsp;2006, the Company acquired certain assets of a scrap operation in Kokomo and Tipton, Indiana. The assets purchased consisted primarily of heavy
equipment, land, buildings and inventory used in the business of recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Results of operations of the acquisition are included in the Company's results of
operations since the date of acquisition. The total purchase price was $31,915,000 in cash, which was funded through the Company's credit facility. The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the
$17,403,475 fair market value of net assets was recorded as goodwill, which is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in December&nbsp;2006. The initial purchase price allocations may be adjusted
within one year of the purchase date for changes in estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;1, 2007, Steel Dynamics entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire the net assets (excluding the assumption of approximately
$220&nbsp;million in debt as discussed below) of OmniSource and its subsidiaries (the "Acquisition") for total consideration of approximately $1.1&nbsp;billion consisting of 9.7&nbsp;million
shares of Steel Dynamics common stock, $439&nbsp;million in cash, including estimated transaction fees, along with the assumption of debt at closing of approximately $220&nbsp;million. On
October&nbsp;12, 2007, Steel Dynamics issued $700&nbsp;million of 7<SUP>3</SUP>/<SMALL>8</SMALL>% senior notes due 2012 to finance the Acquisition, and refinance the assumed liabilities (together totaling
$659.0&nbsp;million), using the difference to repay $37&nbsp;million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit agreement (this borrowing, together with the Acquisition, are referred to
as the "Transactions"). The Acquisition was closed on October&nbsp;26, 2007. This assumed OmniSource debt was extinguished by Steel Dynamics soon after the closing of the Acquisition. While Steel
Dynamics acquired the stock of OmniSource, for tax purposes, the transaction will be treated as an asset purchase. In addition to the Acquisition, we have agreed to purchase certain real estate assets
from some of the shareholders of OmniSource for $10&nbsp;million following the closing of the Acquisition. This real estate purchase is not reflected in the pro forma financial information. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is derived from and should be read in conjunction with historical financial statements and related notes of
Steel Dynamics and OmniSource which are incorporated by reference for Steel Dynamics and included elsewhere in this offering memorandum for OmniSource. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September&nbsp;30, 2007 and the unaudited pro forma condensed statements of income for the twelve months ended
December&nbsp;31, 2006 and the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2007 are presented herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Transactions as if
they occurred on September&nbsp;30, 2007 and combines the historical balance sheets of Steel Dynamics as of September&nbsp;30, 2007 and OmniSource as of June&nbsp;30, 2007. The unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the twelve months ended December&nbsp;31, 2006 give effect to the Transactions as if they
occurred on January&nbsp;1, 2006 and combine the historical consolidated statements of income from Steel Dynamics for the twelve months ended December&nbsp;31, 2006 with the historical statements
of income of OmniSource for the twelve months ended September&nbsp;30, 2006. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2007
give effect to the Transactions as if they occurred on January&nbsp;1, 2007 and combine the historical consolidated statements of income of Steel Dynamics for the nine months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2007 and OmniSource for the nine months ended June&nbsp;30, 2007. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
historical financial statements have been adjusted to give effect to pro forma items that are (i)&nbsp;directly attributable to the Transactions and (ii)&nbsp;factually
supportable. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual combined financial
position or results of operations would have been had the Transactions been completed on the dates indicated or what such financial position or results would be for future periods. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using the purchase method of accounting to account for the Acquisition. Accordingly, we have adjusted
the historical consolidated financial information to give effect to the consideration issued in connection with the Acquisition. In the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements,
Steel Dynamics' costs to acquire OmniSource have been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based upon management's preliminary estimate of their respective fair values. Any

fair value of the consideration issued over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill. The amounts allocated to the identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information are based upon management's preliminary valuation estimates. Definitive allocations will
be finalized based on certain valuations and other studies that will be performed by Steel Dynamics, in some cases with the assistance of outside valuation specialists, after the closing of the
Acquisition. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation adjustments and related depreciation and amortization reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are
preliminary, have been made solely for the purpose of preparing these statements and are subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value after closing of the Acquisition, and such
revisions could have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income do not include the impacts of any revenue, costs or other operating synergies that may result from the Acquisition or
any related restructuring costs. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income also do not reflect certain costs to be incurred resulting from the Acquisition because we consider
them to be of a non-recurring nature. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based
on Steel Dynamics' review of OmniSource's significant accounting policies disclosed in the latter's historical financials statements, the nature and amount of any adjustments to
the historical financial statements of OmniSource to conform their accounting policies to those of Steel Dynamics' are not expected to be significant. Further review of OmniSource's accounting
policies and financial statements may result in required revisions to OmniSource's policies and classifications to conform to Steel Dynamics' accounting policies. </FONT></P>
