<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>(1)&nbsp;Basis of Presentation:</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the financial records of
Olympic Steel, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively Olympic or the Company),
without audit and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to fairly present the results of the interim periods covered by this report.
Year-to-date results are not necessarily indicative of 2007 annual results and these financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company&#146;s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
period ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>(2)&nbsp;Accounts Receivable:</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company maintained allowances for doubtful accounts and unissued credits of $3.5&nbsp;million and
$3.3&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2007 and December&nbsp;31, 2006, respectively. The allowance for doubtful
accounts is maintained at a level considered appropriate based on historical experience and
specific customer collection issues that have been identified. Estimations are based upon a
calculated percentage of accounts receivable, which remains fairly level from year to year, and
judgments about the probable effects of economic conditions on certain customers, which can
fluctuate significantly from year to year. The Company cannot guarantee that the rate of future
credit losses will be similar to past experience. The Company considers all available information
when assessing each quarter the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company and the United States Steel Corporation (USS)&nbsp;each own 50% of Olympic Laser Processing
(OLP), a company that produced laser welded sheet steel blanks for the automotive industry. In
January&nbsp;2006, the Company and USS announced the closing of OLP. In conjunction with the closing,
during the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a $3.5&nbsp;million charge for the disposition
of the joint venture, consisting of $1.3&nbsp;million for the impairment of the Company&#146;s investment in
OLP and a then-estimated $2.2&nbsp;million to be paid pursuant to the Company&#146;s guarantee of OLP&#146;s debt.
OLP ceased operations during the first quarter of 2006. Operating losses incurred by OLP during
the first quarter of 2006 were recorded against the $3.5&nbsp;million reserve. During the second and
third quarters of 2006, OLP began liquidating its remaining assets. Offers from third-parties to
purchase the remaining assets were less than anticipated and the Company recorded an additional
$2.0&nbsp;million charge in the second quarter of 2006 to reflect additional expected obligations under
the guarantee of OLP&#146;s debt. In December&nbsp;2006, the Company advanced $3.2&nbsp;million to OLP in
connection with the loan guarantee. The Company believes the underlying value of OLP&#146;s remaining
assets, upon liquidation, will be sufficient to repay the advance at a later date.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company recorded 50% of OLP&#146;s net income or loss to its Consolidated Statement of Operations as

collateralized by the Company&#146;s accounts receivable, inventories, and substantially all of its
property and equipment. Borrowings are limited to the lesser of a borrowing base, comprised of
eligible receivables and inventories or, effective with an April&nbsp;2007 amendment, $130&nbsp;million in
the aggregate. The April&nbsp;2007 amendment also extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility to
December&nbsp;15, 2010, with annual extensions at the banks&#146; option. The Company has the option to
borrow based on the agent&#146;s base rate or Eurodollar Rates (EURO)&nbsp;plus a premium.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with various covenants, the most significant of
which include: (i)&nbsp;minimum availability of $10&nbsp;million, tested monthly, (ii)&nbsp;a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio of 1.25, and a maximum leverage ratio of 1.75, which are tested quarterly, (iii)
restrictions on additional indebtedness, and (iv)&nbsp;limitations on dividends, capital expenditures
and investments. At March&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company had approximately $78&nbsp;million of availability
under the Credit Facility and the Company was in compliance with its covenants. The Credit
Facility also contains an accordion feature which allows the Company to add up to $25&nbsp;million of
additional revolver capacity in certain circumstances.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">consultants may be offered the opportunity to acquire shares of Common Stock by the grant of stock
options, including both incentive stock options (ISOs) and nonqualified stock options. ISOs are
not available to non-employee directors or consultants. A total of 1,300,000 shares of Common
Stock were originally reserved for issuance under the Option Plan. To the extent possible, shares
of treasury stock are used to satisfy shares resulting from the exercise of stock options. The
purchase price of a share of Common Stock pursuant to an ISO will not be less than the fair market
value of a share of Common Stock at the grant date. Options vest over periods ranging from six
months to five years and all expire 10&nbsp;years after the grant date.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Option Plan terminates on January&nbsp;5, 2009. Termination of the Option Plan will not affect
outstanding options. As of March&nbsp;31, 2007, there were options to purchase 24,170 shares of Common
Stock available for grant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On January&nbsp;1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.&nbsp;123-R (SFAS No.&nbsp;123-R) and elected to use the modified prospective transition method.
The modified prospective transition method requires that compensation cost be recognized in the
financial statements for all awards granted after the date of adoption as well as for existing
awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered as of the date of the adoption. The
modified prospective transition does not require prior periods to be restated. Prior to the
adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;123-R, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic
value method prescribed in Accounting Principals Board Opinion No.&nbsp;25, &#147;Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees,&#148; and related Interpretations. The Company has elected to use the &#147;short-cut method&#148;
to calculate the historical pool of windfall tax benefits upon adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;123-R. The
election to use the &#147;short-cut method&#148; had no effect on the Company&#146;s financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Under the intrinsic value method used prior to January&nbsp;1, 2006, compensation expense for
stock-based compensation was not recognized in the Company&#146;s Consolidated Statements of Operations
as all stock options granted by the Company had an exercise price equal or greater than the market
value of the underlying Common Stock on the option grant date. The adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;123-R
resulted in the following:

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We are a leading U.S. steel service center with over 50&nbsp;years of experience. Our primary focus is
on the direct sale and distribution of large volumes of processed carbon, coated and stainless
flat-rolled sheet, coil and plate products. We act as an intermediary between steel producers and
manufacturers that require processed steel for their operations. We serve customers in most carbon
steel consuming industries, including manufacturers and fabricators of transportation and material
handling equipment, automobiles, construction and farm machinery, storage tanks, environmental and
energy generation, food service and electrical equipment, as well as general and plate fabricators,
and steel service centers. We distribute our products primarily through a direct sales force.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We operate as a single business segment with 16 strategically-located processing and distribution
facilities in Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio and
Pennsylvania. This geographic footprint allows us to focus on regional customers and larger
national and multi-national accounts, primarily located throughout the midwestern, eastern and
southern United States.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We sell a broad range of steel products, many of which have different gross profits and margins.
Products that have more value-added processing generally have a greater gross profit and higher
margins. Accordingly, our overall gross profit is affected by, among other things, product mix,
the amount of processing performed, the availability of steel, volatility in selling prices and

sales and 38 thousand from toll processing, compared with 282 thousand direct tons and 56 thousand
toll tons in the comparable period of last year. The decrease in tons sold was primarily
attributable to reduced sales to domestic automotive customers due to credit concerns and lower
sales to other service centers due to high inventory levels held by service centers during the
first quarter of 2007.

primarily attributable to competitive pressures resulting from the high levels of inventory held at

margins in the second quarter of 2007.

quarter of 2007, compared to a provision of 36.5% for the first quarter of 2006. The effective tax
rate was lower in 2006 due to the recognition of deferred tax assets related to certain state net
operating loss carryforwards. We expect the effective tax rate to approximate 37% to 38% for the
remainder of 2007. Income taxes paid totaled $959 thousand and $1.5&nbsp;million for the first quarter

Chambersburg to support our growing value-added services. In July&nbsp;2006, we announced the beginning
of a project to implement a new single information system to replace the three systems we currently
use. The objective is to standardize and streamline business processes and improve support for our
growing service center and fabrication business. The project will require a significant deployment
of capital and will require a significant use of management&#146;s time. The total external costs
associated with the new information system are expected to approximate $14&nbsp;million over a 30-month

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the past several years, the base price of carbon flat-rolled steel has fluctuated
significantly. Declining prices could reduce our gross profit margin percentages to levels that
are lower than our historical levels. Higher levels of inventory held by us, other steel service
centers, or end-use customers could cause competitive pressures which could also reduce gross
margins. Higher raw material costs for steel producers could cause the price of steel to increase.
While we have generally been successful in the past in passing on producers&#146; price increases and
surcharges to our customers, there is no guarantee that we will be able to pass on price increases
to our customers in the future.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Approximately 9% of our net sales in the first three months of 2007 were directly to automotive
manufacturers or manufacturers of automotive components and parts. The automotive industry
experiences significant fluctuations in demand based on numerous factors such as general economic
conditions and consumer confidence. The automotive industry is also subject, from time to time, to
labor work stoppages. The domestic automotive industry, which has experienced a number of
bankruptcies, is currently involved in significant restructuring, which has resulted in lower
production volumes. Certain customers in this industry represent an increasing credit risk.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Inflation generally affects us by increasing the cost of employee wages and benefits,
transportation services, processing equipment, purchased steel, energy and borrowings under our
credit facility. General inflation has not had a material effect on our financial results during
the past two years; however, we have experienced increased distribution expense as a result of
higher fuel costs.

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



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">When raw material prices increase, competitive conditions will influence how much of the steel
price increase can be passed on to our customers. When raw material prices decline, customer
demands for lower costed product result in lower selling prices. Declining steel prices have
generally adversely affected our net sales and net income, while increasing steel prices favorably
affect net sales and net income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and fluctuating steel prices. We have not
entered into any interest rate or steel commodity hedge transactions for speculative purposes or
otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our primary interest rate risk exposure results from variable rate debt. If interest rates in the
future were to increase 100 basis points (1.0%) from March&nbsp;31, 2007 rates and, assuming no change
in total debt from March&nbsp;31, 2007 levels, the additional annual interest expense to us would be
approximately $500 thousand. We currently do not hedge our exposure to variable interest rate
risk. However, we do have the option to enter into 30- to 180- day fixed base rate EURO loans
under the Credit Facility.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The evaluation required by Rule&nbsp;13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule&nbsp;13a-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Report have been carried out
under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to
provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that are filed
with or submitted to the SEC is: (i)&nbsp;accumulated and communicated to management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures; and (ii)&nbsp;recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March&nbsp;31, 2007, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective.
