			<p style="margin: 0pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">For the prior year quarter ended June 30, 2021 (&#8220;2021 Quarter&#8221;), the Company reported net earnings of approximately $11.3 million on sales of approximately $65.9 million with a sales volume of approximately 54,000 tons. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022 (&#8220;2022 Quarter&#8221;), the Company closed a transaction effective end of day on April 30, 2022 with Plateplus, Inc. that included the Company acquiring two additional operating locations. As a result of the transaction, sales volume and revenue for the 2022 Quarter was substantially higher than the 2021 Quarter amounts. Sales volume for the 2022 quarter is estimated to be approximately 104,000 tons with estimated revenue of approximately $160 million. The 2022 Quarter experienced higher-than-average margins associated with a significant steel price increase just prior to and during part of the quarter and expects the quarter to be one of the most profitable quarters in Company history. 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>
