<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt;">For the prior year quarter ended June 30, 2020 (&#8220;2020 Quarter&#8221;), the Company reported a net loss of $858,862 on sales of $23,524,600. Results for the 2020 Quarter were negatively impacted by declining steel prices and reduced sales volume associated with the initial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the 2020 Quarter, the Company has experienced a historic rise in steel prices that resulted in significant improvement to results of operations for the current year quarter ended June 30, 2021 (&#8220;2021 Quarter&#8221;). The Company expects to report net earnings of approximately $11,000,000 for the 2021 Quarter on sales of approximately $66,000,000. A more detailed discussion of results of operations will be included in the Management&#8217;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company&#8217;s Form 10-Q to be filed.</p>
