<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Insteel Industries,
Inc. (&#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; &#147;our,&#148; &#147;the Company&#148; or &#147;Insteel&#148;) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;) for quarterly reports on Form
10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the audited financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company
believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The October
2, 2010 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements
at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These
financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes for the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;2, 2010 included in the Company&#146;s Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
of a normal recurring nature that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of
results for these interim periods. The results of operations for the three-month period ended
January&nbsp;1, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending October&nbsp;1, 2011 or future periods.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On November&nbsp;19, 2010, the Company purchased certain of the assets and assumed certain of the
liabilities of Ivy Steel and Wire, Inc. (&#147;Ivy&#148;) (see Note 14 to the consolidated financial
statements).
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q and has concluded that there are no significant events that occurred subsequent
to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements<B>.</B>

<!-- xbrl,body -->
<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December&nbsp;2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued an update that
clarifies the guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) Topic 805, <I>Business
Combinations</I>, regarding the disclosure requirements for the pro forma presentation of revenue and
earnings related to a business combination. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance during
the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

</DIV>

<!-- xbrl,body -->
<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The
authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy
that encourages an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair
value are as follows:
</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">Level 1 &#151; Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">Level 2 &#151; Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted
prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.
</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">Level 3 &#151; Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that
are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including certain pricing
models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant
unobservable inputs.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash equivalents, which include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less, are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount of
the Company&#146;s cash equivalents, which consist of investments in money market funds, approximates
fair value due to their short maturities. Cash surrender value of life insurance policies are
classified as Level 2. The fair value of the life insurance policies was determined by the
underwriting insurance company&#146;s valuation models and represents the guaranteed value the Company
would receive upon surrender of these policies as of January&nbsp;1, 2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of January&nbsp;1, 2011, the Company had no nonfinancial assets that are required to be measured
at fair value on a nonrecurring basis other than the assets and liabilities acquired from Ivy (see
Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements) that were acquired at fair value. The carrying
amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due
to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The Company believes that the carrying
amount of the $13.5&nbsp;million secured subordinated promissory note approximates fair value based on
comparable debt with similar terms, conditions and proximity to the issue date, which would be
considered a level 2 input.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In April&nbsp;2006, the Company decided to exit the industrial wire business with the closure of
its Fredericksburg, Virginia facility, which manufactured tire bead wire and other industrial wire
for commercial and industrial applications. The Company&#146;s decision was based on the weakening in
the business outlook for the facility and the expected continuation of difficult market conditions
and reduced operating levels. Manufacturing activities at the Virginia facility ceased in June&nbsp;2006
and the Company has liquidated the assets of the business. The results of operations and related
non-recurring closure costs associated with the industrial wire business have been reported as
discontinued operations for all periods presented.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of January&nbsp;1, 2011, the remaining unamortized compensation cost related to unvested
stock option awards was $654,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period
of 1.24&nbsp;years.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo
valuation model based upon assumptions that are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect
market conditions and actual historical experience. The risk-free interest rate for periods within
the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time
of the grant. The dividend yield is calculated based on the Company&#146;s annual dividend as of the
option grant date. The expected volatility is derived using a term structure based on historical
volatility and the volatility implied by exchange-traded options on the Company&#146;s common stock. The
expected term for options is based on the results of a Monte Carlo simulation model, using the
model&#146;s estimated fair value as an input to the Black-Scholes-Merton model, and then solving for
the expected term. There were no stock option grants during the three-month periods ended January
1, 2011 and January&nbsp;2, 2010.

Board of Directors approved a change in the equity compensation program such that awards of
restricted stock units (&#147;RSUs&#148;) to employees and directors would be made in lieu of awards of
restricted stock. RSUs granted under these plans are valued based upon the fair market value on the
date of the grant and provide for a dividend equivalent payment which is included in compensation
expense. The vesting period for RSUs is generally one to three years from the date of the grant.
RSUs do not have voting rights. There were no RSU grants during the three-month periods ended
January&nbsp;1, 2011 and January&nbsp;2, 2010. Amortization expense for RSUs for the three-month periods

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has recorded the following amounts for deferred income taxes and accrued income
taxes on its consolidated balance sheet as of January&nbsp;1, 2011: a current deferred tax asset (net of
valuation allowance) of $2.6&nbsp;million in prepaid expenses and other, a non-current deferred tax
asset (net of valuation allowance) of $2.2&nbsp;million in other assets, accrued non-current income
taxes payable of $54,000 in other liabilities, and income taxes receivable of $1.3&nbsp;million in
prepaid expenses and other. As of January&nbsp;1, 2011, the Company has $27.4&nbsp;million of gross state
operating loss carryforwards (&#147;NOLs&#148;) that begin to expire in 2017, but principally expire in 2017
to 2030. The Company has also recorded deferred tax assets for various state tax credits of
$300,000, which will begin to expire in 2014 and principally expire in 2014 to 2019. The effective
income tax rate for the three-month period ended January&nbsp;1, 2011 was 34.1% compared with 43.4% in
the same year-ago period as a result of the establishment of a valuation allowance against certain
state NOLs and tax credits during the current year period and changes in permanent tax differences
primarily related to stock-based compensation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The realization of the Company&#146;s deferred income tax assets is entirely dependent upon the
Company&#146;s ability to generate future taxable income in applicable jurisdictions. GAAP requires that
the Company periodically assess the need to establish a valuation allowance against its deferred
income tax assets to the extent that it no longer believes it is more likely than not they will be
fully utilized. As of January&nbsp;1, 2011 and October&nbsp;2, 2010, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance of $728,000 and $461,000, respectively, pertaining to various state NOLs and tax credits
that were not expected to be utilized. The valuation allowance established by the Company is
subject to periodic review and adjustment based on changes in facts and circumstances and would be
reduced should the Company utilize the state NOLs and tax credits against which an allowance had
been provided or determine that such utilization is more likely than not. The increase in the

potential tax audit adjustments. The Company&#146;s tax reserves reflect management&#146;s judgment as to the
estimated liabilities that would be incurred in connection with the resolution of these matters. As
of January&nbsp;1, 2011, the Company had approximately $10,000 of gross unrecognized tax benefits
classified in prepaid expenses and other and $33,000 of gross unrecognized tax benefits classified
as other liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet, of which $32,000, if recognized, would
reduce its income tax rate in future periods. The Company anticipates the gross unrecognized tax
benefit of $10,000 will be resolved during the next twelve months.

<!-- xbrl,body -->
<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Revolving
Credit Facility. </I></B>On June&nbsp;2, 2010, the Company and each of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the &#147;Credit Agreement&#148;)
which amends and restates in its entirety the previous agreement pertaining to its revolving credit
facility that had been in effect since January&nbsp;2006. The Credit Agreement, which matures on June&nbsp;2,
2015, provides the Company with up to $75.0&nbsp;million of financing on the credit facility to
supplement its operating cash flow and fund its working capital, capital expenditure, general
corporate and growth requirements. As of January&nbsp;1, 2011, no borrowings were outstanding on the
credit facility, $57.7&nbsp;million of additional borrowing capacity was available and outstanding
letters of credit totaled $919,000.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Advances under the credit facility are limited to the lesser of the revolving credit
commitment or a borrowing base amount that is calculated based upon a percentage of eligible
receivables and inventories. Interest rates on the revolver are based upon (1)&nbsp;an index rate that
is established at the highest of the prime rate, 0.50% plus the federal funds rate or the LIBOR
rate plus the excess of the then-applicable margin for LIBOR loans over the then-applicable margin
for index rate loans, or (2)&nbsp;at the election of the Company, a LIBOR rate, plus in either case, an
applicable interest rate margin. The applicable interest rate margins are adjusted on a quarterly
basis based upon the amount of excess availability on the revolver within the range of 0.75% &#151;
1.50% for index rate loans and 2.25% &#151; 3.00% for LIBOR loans. In addition, the applicable interest
rate margins would be increased by 2.00% upon the occurrence of certain events of default provided
for in the Credit Agreement. Based on the Company&#146;s excess availability as of January&nbsp;1, 2011, the
applicable interest rate margins on the revolver were 0.75% for index rate loans and 2.25% for
LIBOR loans.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s ability to borrow available amounts under the revolving credit facility will be
restricted or eliminated in the event of certain covenant breaches, events of default or if the
Company is unable to make certain representations and warranties provided for in the Credit
Agreement.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Financial Covenants</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The terms of the Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.10 at the end of each fiscal quarter
for the twelve-month period then ended when the amount of excess availability on the revolving
credit facility is less than $10.0&nbsp;million. As of January&nbsp;1, 2011, the Company was in compliance
with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Negative Covenants</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the terms of the Credit Agreement restrict the Company&#146;s ability to, among other
things: engage in certain business combinations or divestitures; make investments in or loans to
third parties, unless certain conditions are met with respect to such investments or loans; pay
cash dividends or repurchase shares of the Company&#146;s stock subject to certain minimum borrowing
availability requirements; incur or assume indebtedness; issue securities; enter into certain
transactions with affiliates of the Company; or permit liens to encumber the Company&#146;s property and
assets. As of January&nbsp;1, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of the negative covenants
under the Credit Agreement.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, an event of default will occur with respect to the

on November&nbsp;19, 2010 (the &#147;Ivy Acquisition&#148; &#151; see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements)
the Company entered into a $13.5&nbsp;million secured subordinated promissory note (the &#147;Note&#148;) payable

principal payments payable on November&nbsp;19<SUP style="FONT-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> of each year during the period 2011 &#151; 2015.
The Note bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a fixed rate of 6.00% per annum and is
collateralized by certain of the real property and equipment acquired from Ivy. Based on the terms
of the Note, the Company expects to make cash payments of approximately $405,000 for interest and
no principal payments during fiscal 2011. As of January&nbsp;1, 2011, $675,000 of the outstanding
balance on the Note is recorded as the current portion of long-term debt on the Company&#146;s
consolidated balance sheet.

<!-- xbrl,body -->
<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective October&nbsp;4, 2009, the Company adopted certain provisions of ASC Topic 260,
Earnings Per Share, which requires unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights
to dividends (whether paid or unpaid) to be treated as participating securities and included in the
computation of basic earnings per share. The Company&#146;s participating securities are its unvested
restricted stock awards. As required under the provisions that were adopted, prior periods have
been retrospectively adjusted. Because the Company&#146;s unvested RSAs do not contractually participate
in its losses, the Company has not allocated such losses to the unvested RSAs in computing basic
earnings per share, using the two-class method, for the three-month periods ended January&nbsp;1, 2011
and January&nbsp;2, 2010.

<!-- xbrl,body -->
<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On November&nbsp;18, 2008, the Company&#146;s board of directors approved a new share repurchase
authorization to buy back up to $25.0&nbsp;million of the Company&#146;s outstanding common stock in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions (the &#147;New Authorization&#148;). Repurchases may be made
from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions subject to market
conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The Company is not obligated to
acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be commenced or suspended at any
time at the Company&#146;s discretion without prior notice. The New Authorization continues in effect
until terminated by the Board of Directors. As of January&nbsp;1, 2011, there was $24.9&nbsp;million
remaining available for future share repurchases under this authorization. No purchases of common
stock were made during the three-month period ended January&nbsp;1, 2011. During the three-month period
ended January&nbsp;2, 2010, the Company repurchased $6,400 or 552 shares of its common stock through
restricted stock net-share settlements.

</DIV>

<!-- xbrl,body -->
<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Following the Company&#146;s exit from the industrial wire business (see Note 4 to the consolidated
financial statements), the Company&#146;s operations are entirely focused on the manufacture and
marketing of concrete reinforcing products for the concrete construction industry. The Company&#146;s
concrete reinforcing products consist of welded wire reinforcement and PC strand. Based on the
criteria specified in ASC Topic 280, <I>Segment Reporting</I>, the Company has one reportable segment. The
results of operations for the industrial wire products business have been reported as discontinued
operations for all periods presented.
</DIV>

<!-- xbrl,n -->
<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>(13)&nbsp;Contingencies</B>
</DIV>

<!-- xbrl,body -->
<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Legal proceedings</I></B><B>. </B>On November&nbsp;19, 2007, Dwyidag Systems International, Inc (&#147;DSI&#148;) filed a
third-party lawsuit in the Ohio Court of Claims alleging that certain epoxy-coated strand sold by
the Company to DSI in 2002, and supplied by DSI to the Ohio Department of Transportation (&#147;ODOT&#148;)
for a bridge project, was defective. The third-party action sought recovery of any damages which
could have been assessed against DSI in the action filed against it by ODOT, which allegedly could
have been in excess of $8.3&nbsp;million, plus $2.7&nbsp;million in damages allegedly incurred by DSI. In
2009, the Ohio court granted the Company&#146;s motion for summary judgment as to the third-party claim
against it on the grounds that the statute of limitations had expired, but DSI filed an
interlocutory appeal of that ruling. In addition, the Company previously filed a lawsuit against
DSI in the North Carolina Superior Court in Surry County seeking recovery of $1.4&nbsp;million (plus
interest) owed for other products sold by the Company to DSI, which action was removed by DSI to
the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;7, 2010, the Company participated in a structured mediation with ODOT and DSI which
led to settlement of all of the above legal matters. The parties dismissed the action in the Middle
District of North Carolina on December&nbsp;23, 2010, and the Ohio Court of Claims action was dismissed
on January&nbsp;21, 2011. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, which was approved by the Ohio Court of
Claims on January&nbsp;5, 2011, the parties have released each other from all liability arising out of
the sale of strand for the bridge project. In connection with the settlement, the Company reserved
the remaining outstanding balance that it was owed by DSI and agreed to make a cash payment of
$600,000 to ODOT. The Company believes the resolution of this matter will enable it to reinstate
the commercial relationship with DSI that had existed prior to the initiation of the legal
proceedings. The Company&#146;s fourth quarter fiscal 2010 results reflect a pre-tax charge of $1.5
million relating to the net effect of the settlement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is also involved in other lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings,
including commercial, environmental and employment matters, which arise in the ordinary course of
business. The Company does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a
material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

</DIV>

<!-- xbrl,body -->
<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On November&nbsp;19, 2010, the Company purchased certain of the assets and assumed certain of the
liabilities of Ivy for a preliminary purchase price of approximately $51.1&nbsp;million, consisting of
$37.6&nbsp;million of cash and a $13.5&nbsp;million secured subordinated promissory note payable to Ivy (see
Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements). Subsequent to the date of the Ivy Acquisition,
the Company recorded a post-closing working capital adjustment of $280,000, which reduced the
purchase price to $50.8&nbsp;million, subject to certain additional post-closing adjustments.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ivy was one of the nation&#146;s largest producers of welded wire reinforcement and wire products
for concrete construction applications. The Company believes the addition of Ivy&#146;s facilities will
enhance the Company&#146;s competitiveness in its Northeast, Midwest and Florida markets, in addition to
providing a platform to serve the West Coast markets more effectively. The assets purchased
included Ivy&#146;s production facilities in Arizona, Florida, Missouri and Pennsylvania; production
equipment in Texas; and certain related inventories. In addition, the Company assumed certain of
Ivy&#146;s accounts payable and employee benefit obligations. The purchase price and the fair values
assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment. The Company
expects to finalize the valuations and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as
practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The acquisition was accounted for as a business purchase pursuant to ASC Topic 805,
<I>Business Combinations</I>. Acquisition and integration costs are not included as components of
consideration transferred, but are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are
incurred (See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements).
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the three-month period ended January&nbsp;1, 2011, net sales for the Ivy facilities were
approximately $4.5&nbsp;million following the acquisition. The actual amount of net sales specifically
attributable to the Ivy Acquisition, however, cannot be quantified due to the integration
activities that commenced following the Ivy Acquisition involving the transfer of business between
the former Ivy facilities and the Company&#146;s existing facilities. The Company has determined that
the presentation of Ivy&#146;s earnings for the three-month period ended January&nbsp;1, 2011 is impractical
due to the integration of Ivy&#146;s operations into the Company following the acquisition.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information reflects the
combined results of operations of the Company had the Ivy Acquisition occurred at the beginning of
fiscal 2010. The pro forma information reflects certain adjustments related to the Ivy Acquisition,
including adjusted depreciation expense based on the fair value of the assets acquired, interest
expense related to the secured subordinated promissory note payable and an appropriate adjustment
in the current period for the acquisition-related costs. The pro forma information does not reflect
any operating efficiencies or potential cost savings which may result from the Ivy Acquisition.
Accordingly, this pro forma information is for illustrative purposes and is not intended to
represent or be indicative of the actual results of operations of the combined company that may
have been achieved had the Ivy Acquisition occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2010, nor is it
intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations. The pro forma combined
results of operations for the current and comparative prior year period are as follows:

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Restructuring charges. </I></B>Subsequent to the Ivy Acquisition, the Company&#146;s management elected to
proceed with the consolidation of certain of its welded wire operations, including the closure of
facilities in Wilmington, Delaware and Houston, Texas, to reduce its operating costs. These actions
were in response to the close proximity of Ivy&#146;s facilities to the Company&#146;s existing facilities in
Hazleton, Pennsylvania and Dayton, Texas. The Houston plant closure was completed in December&nbsp;2010
and the Wilmington plant closure is expected to be completed before the end of March&nbsp;2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the three-month period ended January&nbsp;1, 2011, the Company recorded $4.4&nbsp;million of
restructuring charges including $2.9&nbsp;million for impairment charges related to the plant closures
and the decommissioning of equipment, $1.0&nbsp;million for employee separation costs associated with
the plant closures and other staffing reductions, and $500,000 for the future lease obligations for
the closed Houston facility. Substantially all of the cash payments related to these charges are
expected to be made before the end of the current fiscal year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of January&nbsp;1, 2011, the Company recorded a liability of $1.1&nbsp;million on the consolidated
balance sheet for restructuring liabilities, including $465,000 in accounts payable and $662,000 in
accrued expenses.

</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insteel Industries, Inc. is one of the nation&#146;s largest manufacturers of steel wire
reinforcing products for concrete construction applications. We manufacture and market PC strand
and welded wire reinforcement, including ESM, concrete pipe reinforcement and standard welded wire
reinforcement. Our products are sold primarily to manufacturers of concrete products that are used
in nonresidential construction. We market our products through sales representatives who are our
employees and through a sales agent. Our products are sold nationwide as well as into Canada,
Mexico, and Central and South America, and delivered primarily by truck, using common or contract
carriers. Our business strategy is focused on: (1)&nbsp;achieving leadership positions in our markets;
(2)&nbsp;operating as the lowest cost producer; and (3)&nbsp;pursuing growth opportunities within our core
businesses that further our penetration of current markets served or expand our geographic reach.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On November&nbsp;19, 2010, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Insteel Wire Products Company,
purchased certain of the assets of Ivy for approximately $50.8&nbsp;million, after giving effect to the
post-closing working capital adjustment and subject to certain additional post-closing adjustments.
Ivy was one of the nation&#146;s largest producers of welded wire reinforcement and wire products for
concrete construction applications (see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements). Among
other assets, we acquired certain of Ivy&#146;s inventories and its production facilities located in
Hazleton, Pennsylvania; Jacksonville, Florida; Kingman, Arizona; and St. Joseph, Missouri, in
addition to the production equipment located at the Houston, Texas facility. We also entered into a
sublease with Ivy for the Houston, Texas facility.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Following our exit from the industrial wire business (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial
statements), our operations are entirely focused on the manufacture and marketing of concrete
reinforcing products. The results of operations for the industrial wire products business have been
reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales for the first quarter of 2011 increased 27.0% to $52.3&nbsp;million from $41.2&nbsp;million in
the same year-ago period. Shipments for the quarter increased 15.9% and average selling prices
increased 9.5% from the prior year levels. The year-over-year increase in shipments resulted from
the addition of the Ivy facilities together with higher sales at our existing facilities. The
increase in sales for the current period is relative to severely depressed volumes in the prior
year quarter resulting from the recessionary conditions in the economy and reduced level of
construction activity.

</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The gross loss for the first quarter of 2011 was $135,000, or (0.3%) of net sales, compared
with gross profit of $1.7&nbsp;million, or 4.2% of net sales in the same year-ago period. The gross
profit in the prior year quarter included a pre-tax charge of $1.9&nbsp;million for inventory
write-downs to reduce the carrying value of inventory to the lower of cost or market. The gross
loss incurred during the current year period was due to reduced spreads between selling prices and
raw material costs driven by the weak market conditions and competitive pricing pressures, and
elevated unit conversion costs resulting from the seasonal slowdown and extended downtime at our
facilities. Gross margins were also unfavorably impacted by the sale of the higher cost inventory
acquired from Ivy that was valued at fair value in accordance with purchase accounting
requirements.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Selling, general and administrative expense (&#147;SG&#038;A expense&#148;) for the first quarter of 2011
increased 11.4% to $4.2&nbsp;million, or 8.0% of net sales from $3.7&nbsp;million, or 9.1% of net sales in
the same year-ago period primarily due to increases in staffing costs ($239,000) and other
transition-related costs ($71,000) largely related to the Ivy Acquisition together with higher
stock-based compensation expense ($52,000). These increases were partially offset by a reduction in
legal expenses ($130,000) primarily due to the prior year costs associated with the PC strand trade
cases.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Restructuring Charges</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restructuring charges of $4.4&nbsp;million were recorded during the first quarter of 2011,
including $2.9&nbsp;million for impairment charges related to plant closures and the decommissioning of
equipment, $1.0&nbsp;million for employee separation costs associated with plant closures and other
staffing reductions, and $500,000 for the future lease obligations for the closed Houston facility.
The plant closure costs were associated with the planned consolidation of our Texas and Northeast
operations, which involves the closure of facilities in Houston, Texas and Wilmington, Delaware,
and relocation of the manufacturing to plants in Dayton, Texas and Hazelton, Pennsylvania,
respectively. The employee separation costs were related to the plant closures and staffing
reductions that were implemented across our sales, administration and manufacturing support
functions to address the redundancies resulting from the Ivy Acquisition. We currently expect to
incur approximately $2.0&nbsp;million of additional restructuring charges for equipment relocation and
employee separation costs over the remainder of the fiscal year.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest expense for the first quarter of 2011 remained relatively unchanged compared to the
same year-ago period as the additional interest expense related to the new secured subordinated
promissory note associated with the Ivy Acquisition was offset by lower amortization of capitalized
financing costs.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Income Taxes</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 decreased to 34.1% from 43.4% in
the same year-ago period due to the establishment of a valuation allowance against certain state
net operating losses and state tax credits that we do not expect to realize and changes in
permanent tax differences primarily related to stock-based compensation.

</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2011 was $7.6&nbsp;million, or $0.44
per share compared to $1.1&nbsp;million, or $0.07 per share in the same year-ago period primarily due to
the reduction in gross profit together with the acquisition costs and restructuring charges
associated with the Ivy Acquisition.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There were no earnings or loss from discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2011
compared with a $13,000 loss in the same year-ago period, which had no effect on the net loss per
share for either period. The prior year loss resulted from facility-related costs associated with
the real estate held for sale of the discontinued industrial wire business, which was sold during
the fourth quarter of 2010.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating activities of continuing operations used $5.1&nbsp;million of cash during the first
quarter of 2011 compared to $9.8&nbsp;million during the same period last year primarily due to the
year-over-year change in the net working capital components of accounts receivable, inventories,
and accounts payable and accrued expenses, which provided $2.0&nbsp;million in the current year while
using $12.9&nbsp;million in the same period last year. The cash provided by net working capital in the
current year quarter was largely due to a decrease in accounts receivable resulting from the usual
seasonal decline in shipments and a reduction in inventories due to lower raw material purchases.
The cash used by net working capital in the prior year quarter was largely due to a $14.5&nbsp;million
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses resulting from reduced raw material purchases,
which was partially offset by a $3.5&nbsp;million decrease in accounts receivable due to the seasonal
decline in shipments. The year-over-year improvement in the net working capital components was
partially offset by the increase in our current period loss and the change in deferred taxes.
Should the impact and duration of the current recessionary conditions in the construction sector
persist, we may make additional adjustments in our operating activities, which could materially
impact our cash requirements. While a downturn in the level of construction activity adversely
affects sales to our customers, it generally reduces our working capital requirements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investing activities used $38.1&nbsp;million of cash during the first quarter of 2011 compared to
$438,000 during the same period last year. The increase in cash used was primarily related to the
Ivy Acquisition. Capital expenditures are expected to total less than $10.0&nbsp;million for fiscal
2011. Our investing activities are largely discretionary, which gives us the ability to
significantly curtail future outlays should future business conditions warrant that such actions be
taken.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financing activities provided $37,000 of cash during the first quarter of 2011 while using
$530,000 during the same period last year. The year-over-year change was primarily due to the
quarterly cash dividend that was paid during the prior year quarter.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Credit Facilities</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On June&nbsp;2, 2010, we and each of our wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into the Second Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement (the &#147;Credit Agreement&#148;) which amends and restates in its entirety
the previous agreement pertaining to our revolving credit facility that had been in effect since
January&nbsp;2006. The Credit Agreement, which matures on June&nbsp;2, 2015, provides us with up to $75.0
million of financing on the credit facility to supplement our operating cash flow and fund our
working capital, capital expenditure, general corporate and growth requirements. As of January&nbsp;1,
2011, no borrowings were outstanding on the credit facility, $57.7&nbsp;million of additional borrowing
capacity was available and outstanding letters of credit totaled $919,000.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As part of the consideration for purchasing certain assets of Ivy on November&nbsp;19, 2010 (See
Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements), the Company entered into a $13.5&nbsp;million secured
subordinated promissory note (the &#147;Note&#148;) payable to Ivy over five years. The Note requires
semi-annual interest payments in arrears, and annual principal payments payable on November
19<SUP style="FONT-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> of each year during the period 2011 - 2015. The Note bears interest on the unpaid
principal balance at a fixed rate of 6.00% per annum and is collateralized by certain of the real
property and equipment

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">acquired from Ivy. Based on the terms of the Note, the Company expects to make cash payments
of approximately $405,000 for interest and no principal payments during fiscal 2011.
</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that, in the absence of significant unanticipated cash demands, cash and cash
equivalents, and net cash generated by operating activities will be sufficient to satisfy our
expected requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, principal and interest
payments on the Note and share repurchases, if any. We also expect to have access to the amounts
available under our revolving credit facility as required. However, further deterioration in
general economic conditions and in the construction sector could result in additional reductions in
demand from our customers, which would likely reduce our operating cash flows. Our operating cash
flows could also be unfavorably impacted by unanticipated cash requirements arising in connection
with the Ivy Acquisition. Under such circumstances, we may need to curtail capital and operating
expenditures, delay or restrict share repurchases, cease dividend payments and/or realign our
working capital requirements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Should we determine, at any time, that we require additional short-term liquidity, we would
evaluate the alternative sources of financing that are potentially available to provide such
funding. There can be no assurance that any such financing, if pursued, would be obtained, or if
obtained, would be adequate or on terms acceptable to us. However, we believe that our strong
balance sheet, flexible capital structure and borrowing capacity available to us under our
revolving credit facility position us to meet our anticipated liquidity requirements for the
foreseeable future.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Seasonality and Cyclicality</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Demand in our markets is both seasonal and cyclical, driven by the level of construction
activity, but can also be impacted by fluctuations in the inventory positions of our customers.
From a seasonal standpoint, the highest level of sales within the year typically occurs when
weather conditions are the most conducive to construction activity. As a result, sales and
profitability are usually higher in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year and lower in
the first and second quarters. From a cyclical standpoint, the level of construction activity tends
to be correlated with general economic conditions although there can be significant differences
between the relative performance of the nonresidential versus residential construction sectors for
extended periods.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Impact of Inflation</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are subject to inflationary risks arising from fluctuations in the market prices for our
primary raw material, hot-rolled steel wire rod, and, to a much lesser extent, freight, energy and
other consumables that are used in our manufacturing processes. We have generally been able to
adjust our selling prices to pass through increases in these costs or offset them through various
cost reduction and productivity improvement initiatives. However, our ability to raise our selling
prices depends on market conditions and competitive dynamics, and there may be periods during which
we are unable to fully recover increases in our costs. During 2010, our ability to fully recover
higher wire rod prices was mitigated by competitive pricing pressures resulting from the ongoing
weakness in demand. During the first quarter of 2011, inflation did not have a material impact on
our sales or earnings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We do not have any material transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent
obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, as defined by
Item&nbsp;303(a)(4) of Regulation&nbsp;S-K of the SEC, that have or are reasonably likely to have a material
current or future impact on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures, capital resources or significant components of revenues or expenses.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except for the Note (see Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements herein for the debt
maturity schedule), there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">estimates and judgments based on current available information, actuarial estimates, historical
results and other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Following is a discussion of our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are
both important to the depiction of our financial condition and results of operations and that
require judgments, assumptions and estimates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Revenue recognition. </I></B>We recognize revenue from product sales when products are shipped and
risk of loss and title has passed to the customer. Sales taxes collected from customers are
recorded on a net basis and are thus excluded from revenue.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Concentration of credit risk. </I></B>Financial instruments that subject us to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Our
cash is concentrated primarily at one financial institution, which at times exceeds federally
insured limits. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of default by institutions in which our
cash and cash equivalents are held and by customers to the extent of the amounts recorded on the
balance sheet. We invest excess cash primarily in money market funds, which are highly liquid
securities that bear minimal risk.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Most of our accounts receivable are due from customers that are located in the U.S. and we
generally require no collateral depending upon the creditworthiness of the account. We provide an
allowance for doubtful accounts based upon our assessment of the credit risk of specific customers,
historical trends and other information. There is no disproportionate concentration of credit risk.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Allowance for doubtful accounts. </I></B>We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated
losses resulting from the potential inability of our customers to make required payments on
outstanding balances owed to us. Significant management judgments and estimates are used in
establishing the allowances. These judgments and estimates consider such factors as customers&#146;
financial position, cash flows and payment history as well as current and expected business
conditions. It is reasonably likely that actual collections will differ from our estimates, which
may result in increases or decreases in the allowances. Adjustments to the allowances may also be
required if there are significant changes in the financial condition of our customers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Inventory valuation. </I></B>We periodically evaluate the carrying value of our inventory. This
evaluation includes assessing the adequacy of allowances to cover losses in the normal course of
operations, providing for excess and obsolete inventory, and ensuring that inventory is valued at
the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Our evaluation considers such factors as the
cost of inventory, future demand, our historical experience and market conditions. In assessing the
realization of inventory values, we are required to make judgments and estimates regarding future
market conditions. Because of the subjective nature of these judgments and estimates, it is
reasonably likely that actual outcomes will differ from our estimates. Adjustments to these
reserves may be required if actual market conditions for our products are substantially different
than the assumptions underlying our estimates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Self insurance. </I></B>We are self-insured for certain losses relating to medical and workers&#146;
compensation claims. Self-insurance claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued
based upon management&#146;s estimates of the discounted ultimate cost for uninsured claims incurred
using actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and historical experience. These
estimates are subject to a high degree of variability based upon future inflation rates, litigation
trends, changes in benefit levels and claim settlement patterns. Because of uncertainties related
to these factors as well as the possibility of changes in the underlying facts and circumstances,
future adjustments to these reserves may be required.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Litigation. </I></B>From time to time, we may be involved in claims, lawsuits and other proceedings.
Such matters involve uncertainty as to the eventual outcomes and the potential losses that we may
ultimately incur. We record expenses for litigation when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We estimate the probability of
such losses based on the advice of legal counsel, the outcome of similar litigation, the status of
the lawsuits and other factors. Due to the numerous factors that enter into these judgments and
assumptions, it is reasonably likely that actual outcomes will differ from our estimates. We
monitor our potential exposure to these contingencies on a regular basis and may adjust our
estimates as additional information becomes available or as there are significant developments.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Assumptions for employee benefit plans. </I></B>We have two defined employee benefit plans: the
Insteel Wire Products Company Retirement Income Plan for Hourly Employees, Wilmington, Delaware
(the &#147;Delaware Plan&#148;) and the supplemental employee retirement plans (each, a &#147;SERP&#148;). We recognize
net periodic pension costs and value pension assets or liabilities based on certain actuarial
assumptions, principally the assumed discount rate and the assumed long-term rate of return on plan
assets.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The discount rates we utilize for determining net periodic pension costs and the related
benefit obligations for our plans are based, in part, on current interest rates earned on long-term
bonds that receive one of the two highest ratings assigned by recognized rating agencies. Our
discount rate assumptions are adjusted as of each valuation date to reflect current interest rates
on such long-term bonds. The discount rates are used to determine the actuarial present value of
the benefit obligations as of the valuation date as well as the interest component of the net
periodic pension cost for the following year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets for the Delaware Plan represents the
estimated average rate of return expected to be earned on the funds invested or to be invested in
the plan&#146;s assets to fund the benefit payments inherent in the projected benefit obligations.
Unlike the discount rate, which is adjusted each year based on changes in current long-term
interest rates, the assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets will not necessarily change
based upon the actual short-term performance of the plan assets in any given year. The amount of
net periodic pension cost that is recorded each year for the plan is based on the assumed long-term
rate of return on plan assets and the actual fair value of the plan assets as of the beginning of
the year. We regularly review our actual asset allocation and, when appropriate, rebalance the
investments in the plan to more accurately reflect the targeted allocation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For 2010, the assumed long-term rate of return utilized for plan assets of the Delaware Plan
was 8%. We currently expect to use the same assumed rate for the long-term return on plan assets in
2011. In determining the appropriateness of this assumption, we considered the historical rate of
return of the plan assets, the current and projected asset mix, our investment objectives and
information provided by our third-party investment advisors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The projected benefit obligations and net periodic pension cost for the Delaware Plan are
based in part on expected increases in future compensation levels. Our assumption for the expected
increase in future compensation levels is based upon our average historical experience and
management&#146;s intentions regarding future compensation increases, which generally approximates
average long-term inflation rates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Assumed discount rates and rates of return on plan assets are reevaluated annually. Changes in
these assumptions can result in the recognition of materially different pension costs over
different periods and materially different asset and liability amounts in our consolidated
financial statements. A reduction in the assumed discount rate generally results in an actuarial
loss, as the actuarially-determined present value of estimated future benefit payments will
increase. Conversely, an increase in the assumed discount rate generally results in an actuarial
gain. In addition, an actual return on plan assets for a given year that is greater than the
assumed return on plan assets results in an actuarial gain, while an actual return on plan assets
that is less than the assumed return results in an actuarial loss. Other actual outcomes that
differ from previous assumptions, such as individuals living longer or shorter lives than assumed
in the mortality tables that are also used to determine the actuarially-determined present value of
estimated future benefit payments, changes in such mortality tables themselves or plan amendments
will also result in actuarial losses or gains. Under accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States, actuarial gains and losses are deferred and amortized into income over future
periods based upon the expected average remaining service life of the active plan participants (for
plans for which benefits are still being earned by active employees) or the average remaining life
expectancy of the inactive participants (for plans for which benefits are not still being earned by
active employees). However, any actuarial gains generated in future periods reduce the negative
amortization effect of any cumulative unamortized actuarial losses, while any actuarial losses
generated in future periods reduce the favorable amortization effect of any cumulative unamortized
actuarial gains.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The amounts recognized as net periodic pension cost and as pension assets or liabilities are
based upon the actuarial assumptions discussed above. We believe that all of the actuarial
assumptions used for determining the net periodic pension costs and pension assets or liabilities
related to the Delaware Plan are reasonable and appropriate. The funding requirements for the
Delaware Plan are based upon applicable regulations, and will generally differ from the amount of
pension cost recognized for financial reporting purposes. No contributions were required to be made
to the Delaware Plan in the prior year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We currently expect net periodic pension costs for both plans to total $935,000 during 2011.
Cash contributions to the Delaware Plan are expected to total $168,000 during 2011. Contributions
to the SERPs are expected to total $244,000 during 2011, matching the required benefit payments.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December&nbsp;2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued an update that
clarified the guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) Topic 805, <I>Business
Combinations</I>, regarding the disclosure requirements for the pro forma presentation of revenue and
earnings related to a business combination. We elected to early adopt this guidance during the
first quarter of fiscal 2011.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Outlook</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our visibility for business conditions through the remainder of fiscal 2011 is clouded by the
continued uncertainty regarding future economic conditions and the prospects for a pronounced
recovery in the employment market, the availability of financing in the credit markets and the
timing and magnitude of the next federal transportation funding authorization. We expect
nonresidential construction, our primary demand driver, to remain at depressed levels particularly
for commercial projects which have been the most severely impacted by the economic downturn. We
believe the favorable impact from the infrastructure-related funding provided for under the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has largely been mitigated by the project mix, which is
skewed towards pavement resurfacing and repairs that do not require the use of our products
together with reduced spending at the state and local government level. We expect that residential
construction will remain weak, but gradually improve over the course of the year, favorably
impacting shipments to customers that have greater exposure to the housing sector.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In spite of the ongoing weakness in market conditions, prices for our primary raw material,
hot-rolled steel wire rod, have spiked higher since December&nbsp;2010 driven by the sharp escalation in
scrap costs for steel producers. Although we have announced price increases for our products to
recover these additional costs, the net impact on margins is uncertain at this time.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In response to the challenges facing us, we will continue to focus on the operational
fundamentals of our business: closely managing and controlling our expenses; aligning our
production schedules with demand in a proactive manner as there are changes in market conditions to
minimize our cash operating costs; and pursuing further improvements in the productivity and
effectiveness of all of our manufacturing, selling and administrative activities. As we move into
the second half of the year, we expect the Ivy Acquisition will begin to have a favorable financial
impact through the anticipated operational synergies and the completion of our transition and
integration activities. As market conditions improve, we also expect gradually increasing
contributions from the substantial investments we have made in our facilities in the form of
reduced operating costs and additional capacity to support future growth (see &#147;Cautionary Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements&#148; and &#147;Risk Factors&#148;). In addition, we will continue to
evaluate potential acquisitions in our existing businesses that further our penetration in current
markets served or expand our geographic footprint.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in commodity
prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. We manage our exposure to these market risks
through internally established policies and procedures and, when deemed appropriate, through the
use of derivative financial instruments. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes
and we are not a party to any leveraged derivatives. We monitor our underlying market risk
exposures on an ongoing basis and believe that we can modify or adapt our hedging strategies as
necessary.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Commodity Prices</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are subject to significant fluctuations in the cost and availability of our primary raw
material, hot-rolled steel wire rod, which we purchase from both domestic and foreign suppliers. We
negotiate quantities and pricing for both domestic and foreign steel wire rod purchases for varying
periods (most recently monthly for domestic suppliers), depending upon market conditions, to manage
our exposure to price fluctuations and to ensure adequate availability of material consistent with
our requirements. We do not use derivative commodity instruments to hedge our exposure to changes
in prices as such instruments are not currently available for steel wire rod. Our ability to
acquire steel wire rod from foreign sources on favorable terms is impacted by fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates, foreign taxes, duties, tariffs and other trade actions. Although
changes in wire rod costs and our selling prices may be correlated over extended periods of time,
depending upon market conditions and competitive dynamics, there may be periods during which we are
unable to fully recover increased wire rod costs through higher selling prices, which would reduce
our gross profit and cash flow from operations. Additionally, should wire rod costs decline, our
financial results may be negatively impacted if the selling prices for our products decrease to an
even greater degree and to the extent that we are consuming higher cost material from inventory.
Based on our shipments and average wire rod cost reflected in cost of sales for the first quarter
of fiscal 2011, a 10% increase in the price of steel wire rod would have resulted in a $3.7&nbsp;million
decrease in our pre-tax earnings for the quarter ended January&nbsp;1, 2011 (assuming there was not a
corresponding change in our selling prices).

on our revolving credit facility as of January&nbsp;1, 2011, future borrowings under the facility would
be sensitive to changes in interest rates.

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On November&nbsp;19, 2007, Dwyidag Systems International, Inc (&#147;DSI&#148;) filed a third-party lawsuit
in the Ohio Court of Claims alleging that certain epoxy-coated strand sold by us to DSI in 2002,
and supplied by DSI to the Ohio Department of Transportation (&#147;ODOT&#148;) for a bridge project, was
defective. The third-party action sought recovery of any damages which could have been assessed
against DSI in the action filed against it by ODOT, which allegedly could have been in excess of
$8.3&nbsp;million, plus $2.7&nbsp;million in damages allegedly incurred by DSI. In 2009, the Ohio court
granted our motion for summary judgment as to the third-party claim against it on the grounds that
the statute of limitations had expired, but DSI filed an interlocutory appeal of that ruling. In
addition, we previously filed a lawsuit against DSI in the North Carolina Superior Court in Surry
County seeking recovery of $1.4&nbsp;million (plus interest) owed for other products sold by us to DSI,
which action was removed by DSI to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North
Carolina.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;7, 2010, we participated in a structured mediation with ODOT and DSI which led to
settlement of all of the above legal matters. The parties dismissed the action in the Middle
District of North Carolina on December&nbsp;23, 2010, and the Ohio Court of Claims action was dismissed
on January&nbsp;21, 2011. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, which was approved by the Ohio Court of
Claims on January&nbsp;5, 2011, the parties have released each other from all liability arising out of
the sale of strand for the bridge project. In connection with the settlement, we reserved the
remaining outstanding balance that was owed to us by DSI and agreed to make a cash payment of
$600,000 to ODOT. We believe the resolution of this matter will enable us to reinstate the
commercial relationship with DSI that had existed prior to the initiation of the legal proceedings.
Our fourth quarter fiscal 2010 results reflect a pre-tax charge of $1.5&nbsp;million relating to the net
effect of the settlement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="Justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are also involved in other lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including
commercial, environmental and employment matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business.
We do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse
effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
