<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt; text-align: justify;">For the prior fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (&#8220;Fiscal 2022&#8221;), the Company reported net earnings of approximately $14,068,000 on sales of approximately $285,235,000. Fiscal 2022 is characterized as a period of strong margins associated with a historic rise in hot-rolled coil prices. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 (&#8220;Fiscal 2023&#8221;) the Company acquired two additional facilities and completed a newly constructed facility. These circumstances contributed to a significant increase in sales for Fiscal 2023. Margins for Fiscal 2023 were not as strong as Fiscal 2022 but net income for Fiscal 2023 still increased significantly due to relatively good margins and a much larger scale of business. The Company expects to report net earnings of approximately $21,300,000 on sales of approximately $547,500,000 in its Form 10-K for Fiscal 2023. 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-K to be filed.</p>
