<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt;">For the prior year quarter ended September 30, 2021 (&#8220;2021 Quarter&#8221;), the Company reported net earnings of approximately $14.1 million on sales of approximately $92.5 million with a sales volume of approximately 54,000 tons. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, 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 quarter ended September 30, 2022 (&#8220;2022 Quarter&#8221;) was substantially higher than the 2021 Quarter amounts. Sales volume for the 2022 quarter is estimated to be approximately 117,000 tons with revenue of approximately $150 million. The 2021 Quarter experienced historic margins associated with an unprecedented increase in hot-rolled coil (&#8220;HRC&#8221;) prices around that time. The 2022 Quarter saw a decline in HRC prices which resulted in tighter margins compared to the 2021 quarter. 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>
