</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 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 $2.7&nbsp;million and
$3.3&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 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 and USS each advanced $3.2&nbsp;million to
OLP in connection with a 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.

eligible receivables and inventories or, effective with a July&nbsp;2007 amendment, $130&nbsp;million in the

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.

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

<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 September&nbsp;30, 2007, there were no remaining shares of Common Stock
available for grant under the Option Plan.
</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, <I>Share-Based Payment </I>(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 Principles Board Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, 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.

stock-based compensation was not recognized in the Company&#146;s Consolidated Statements of Operations

value of the underlying Common Stock on the option grant date. The adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;123-R

for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity&#146;s financial statements in accordance with
SFAS No.&nbsp;109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement principles for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be
taken on a tax return. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January&nbsp;1, 2007. The adoption had no effect
on the opening balance of retained earnings as of January&nbsp;1, 2007.

measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require
or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No.&nbsp;157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November&nbsp;15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;157 will have a material impact on

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes contained herein and our consolidated financial
statements, accompanying notes and Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2006. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks,
uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those described in Item&nbsp;1A,
Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the caption &#147;Forward-Looking Information&#148;
below.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Overview</B>
</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, 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

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">material purchase costs. We also perform toll processing of customer-owned steel, the majority of
which is performed by our Detroit and Georgia operations. We sell certain products internationally,
primarily in Puerto Rico and Mexico. All international sales and payments are made in United
States dollars. Recent international sales have been immaterial to our consolidated financial
results.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our results of operations are affected by numerous external factors including, but not limited to,
general and global business, economic and political conditions, competition, steel pricing and
availability, energy prices, pricing and availability of raw materials used in the production of
steel, customer demand for steel, customers&#146; ability to manage their credit line availability and
layoffs or work stoppages by our own, our suppliers&#146; or our customers&#146; personnel. The steel
industry also continues to be affected by the global consolidation of our suppliers, competitors,
and end-use customers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On May&nbsp;1, 2006, we acquired the remaining 51% interest in our GSP joint venture. Prior to May&nbsp;1,
2006, our 49% interest in GSP was accounted for under the equity method. Since May&nbsp;1, 2006, the
results of GSP have been fully consolidated into our financial statements. In January&nbsp;2006, we
announced plans to close the OLP joint venture in Detroit, Michigan. OLP, which was a processor of
laser welded steel blanks for the automotive industry, ceased operations in the first quarter of
2006. Our 50% interest in OLP is accounted for under the equity method.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In June&nbsp;2006, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of PS&#038;W, a North Carolina-based fabricator
of heavy construction equipment components. Since June&nbsp;2, 2006, the results of PS&#038;W have been
fully consolidated into our financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">A collective bargaining agreement covering approximately five Detroit maintenance workers expired
July&nbsp;31, 2007. Employees covered under this agreement continue to operate as a new agreement is
negotiated. While we expect to be able to negotiate a new agreement, there can be no assurances
that such resolution will occur. Collective bargaining agreements covering our Minneapolis and
other Detroit employees expire in 2009 and subsequent years. We have never experienced a work
stoppage and we believe that our relationship with employees is good. However, any prolonged work
stoppages by our personnel represented by collective bargaining units could have a material adverse
impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial

or conditions. On an ongoing basis, we monitor and evaluate our estimates and assumptions.

year. The decrease in tons sold was primarily attributable to lower toll processing sales to
domestic automotive customers. Tons sold in the fourth quarter of 2007 are expected to be lower
than third quarter 2007 levels due to normal seasonal patterns.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net sales decreased 1.5% to $256.1&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2007 from $259.9&nbsp;million in the
third quarter of 2006. Net sales increased 5.0% to $792.9&nbsp;million in the first nine months of 2007
from $754.9&nbsp;million in the first nine months of 2006. Total average selling prices for the third
quarter of 2007 remained flat with last year&#146;s third quarter and with the second quarter of 2007.
Higher sales in 2007 is attributable to a higher mix of year-to-date direct tons sold than tolling
tons sold.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a percentage of net sales, gross profit (exclusive of depreciation) decreased to 19.7% in the
third quarter of 2007 from 22.5% in the third quarter of 2006. For the first nine months of 2007,
gross margin decreased to 19.4% from 21.0% in the first nine months of 2006. Due to normal

Operating expenses in the first nine months of 2007 increased 5.6% to $117.5&nbsp;million from $111.3
million during the first nine months of 2006. The increase in operating expenses was primarily
attributable to the inclusion of PS&#038;W&#146;s operating expenses in 2007 results and the costs associated
with the implementation of our new information system, which commenced during the third quarter of
2006. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses increased to 15.5% for the third quarter of
2007 from 15.2% in the comparable 2006 period. Operating expenses during the first nine months of

inclusive of deferred financing fees and commitment fees, for the first nine months of 2007 was
7.3% compared to 7.8% in the first nine months of 2006. We expect our borrowing costs to decrease
in the fourth quarter of 2007 due to lower market interest rates and lower outstanding borrowings.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our principal capital requirements include funding working capital needs, purchasing and upgrading
processing equipment and facilities, acquisitions, and paying dividends. We use cash generated
from operations, leasing transactions, and our revolving credit facility to fund these
requirements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Working capital at September&nbsp;30, 2007 totaled $194.1&nbsp;million, a $21.8&nbsp;million decrease from the end
of the prior year. Significant working capital changes included a $38.2&nbsp;million decrease in
inventories and an $8.7&nbsp;million increase in accounts payable (including outstanding checks),
partially offset by a $23.2&nbsp;million increase in accounts receivable. Historically, accounts
receivable levels have been lowest at the end of each calendar year, due to normal seasonal
patterns.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2007, we generated $50.2&nbsp;million of net cash from
operations, of which $26.3&nbsp;million was derived from cash earnings and $23.9&nbsp;million was generated
from working capital.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the first nine months of 2007, we spent $8.3&nbsp;million on capital expenditures. We have
completed a $2.9&nbsp;million project to expand our Iowa facility by approximately 54,000 square feet in
order to meet our customers&#146; need for high quality sheet product. We have also installed
additional laser and plasma cutting equipment and machining centers in Cleveland, Chicago and
Chambersburg to support our growing value-added services. Due to the risk of technological
obsolescence, it has been our policy to lease new laser cutting equipment. In early 2008, a $5.5
million stretcher-leveler cut-to-length line in Minneapolis will become operational. 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 three-year phased implementation that began in July
2006. We expect to increase our capital spending in 2008 to further support our value-added
strategies in both existing and new facilities.

primarily consisted of $43.3&nbsp;million revolver borrowing repayments, partially offset by $4.7
million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In October&nbsp;2007, our Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $.04 per share,
which is payable on December&nbsp;17, 2007 to shareholders of record as of December&nbsp;3, 2007. Our Board
of Directors previously approved dividends of $.03 per share, which were paid on March&nbsp;15, 2007 and
June&nbsp;15, 2007 and $.04 per share paid on September&nbsp;17, 2007. We expect to make regular dividend
distributions in the future, subject to the availability of cash and continuing determination by
our Board of Directors that the payment of dividends remains in the best interest of our
shareholders.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our secured bank-financing agreement (the Credit Facility) is a revolving credit facility
collateralized by our accounts receivable, inventories, and substantially all of our property and
equipment. Borrowings are limited to the lesser of a borrowing base, comprised of eligible
receivables and inventories or, effective with a July&nbsp;2007 amendment, $130&nbsp;million in the
aggregate. An April&nbsp;2007 amendment extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility to December
15, 2010, with annual extensions at the banks&#146; option.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Credit Facility requires us 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 September&nbsp;30, 2007, we had approximately $101&nbsp;million of availability under
our Credit Facility and we were in compliance with our covenants. The Credit Facility also
contains an accordion feature which allows us to add up to $25&nbsp;million of additional revolver
capacity in certain circumstances.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We believe that funds available under our Credit Facility and lease arrangements, together with
funds generated from operations, will be sufficient to provide us with the liquidity necessary to
fund anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditure requirements over the next
12&nbsp;months. In the future, we may, as part of our business strategy, acquire and dispose of other
companies in the same or complementary lines of business, enter into and exit strategic alliances
and joint ventures, and pursue other business ventures. Accordingly, the timing and size of our
capital requirements are subject to change as business conditions warrant and opportunities arise.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the past several years, the base price of carbon and stainless 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 8.5% of our net sales in the first nine 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 and labor contract negotiations,
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 September&nbsp;30, 2007 rates and, assuming no
change in total debt from September&nbsp;30, 2007 levels, the additional annual interest expense to us
would be approximately $250 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.
