over 50% and averaging just under $50 per barrel through the first nine months of 2015.&nbsp;The price is currently just over $45 per barrel.&nbsp;Rig counts are down in excess of 50% as well. Palmer currently has a higher level of exposure to the
energy sector (oil and gas) than other operating units in the Metals reporting segment, so its profitability has been impacted to a higher extent.<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">1</SUP> However,&nbsp;with the low cost metrics of
Permian basin wells (largest shale basin for oil production in the United States), our customers indicate that $60-65 WTI prices produce profit levels that will return their drilling activity to more normalized levels.&nbsp;Oil prices do not have to
return to $100 per barrel for Palmer gross margins to return to 16%.&nbsp;In addition, as part of our strategic positioning for Palmer, we are using our industry and market links through Bristol Metals, LLC (&#147;BRISMET&#148;) and Specialty

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top">Seasonality, in and by itself, is not sufficiently material to preclude the relevance of the Palmer operating unit from being aggregated in the Metals reporting segment. As noted in Part I, Item&nbsp;1 of the 10-K, both
Palmer and SPT confront seasonal impact. And, while not mentioned specifically in our reports filed with the Commission, BRISMET&#146;s exposure to the energy sector, although not as location specific as Palmer and SPT, does result in seasonal
impacts related to shipments into that sector. The seasonality impact on BRISMET, however, is somewhat ameliorated due to its larger exposure to other less seasonal markets. Our assessment centers on the reality that seasonality is only one factor
causing swings in volumes between quarters. Among all units, customer project activity is a consistent, more significant factor in quarterly volume swings for BRISMET, SPT and Palmer. As with any business, the timing of customer activity is uneven,
and presents the most significant volatility factor for our units in the Metals reporting segment. And, as the table below illustrates, Palmer&#146;s quarterly volumes have not deviated substantially from the Metals reporting segment&#146;s averages
for all of the periods owned, despite the seasonality exposure that might exist, which leads to the conclusion that other aspects of volume placement have greater and similar impacts among all three aggregated operating units, leaving them
remarkably similar on a quarterly profile. </TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

sector. For 2015, BRISMET and SPT expect to have approximately 40% and 37% of their respective sales into the energy sector, and in normalized markets, those percentages would be higher. The strategy behind the Palmer acquisition was and is to
expand our overall Metals reporting segment portfolio into large, profitable sectors using stainless and carbon steel products. The cross selling opportunities for BRISMET and SPT into the energy sector are enhanced through having an affiliated
business with customers that build processing systems that utilize both tanks and vessels, as well as stainless and carbon steel pipe, as part of their overall infrastructure needs. </TD></TR></TABLE>

the Metals reporting segment exhibit the same or very similar characteristics (i.e., the nature of the products, the nature of the production processes, the type or class of customer, the distribution methods for the products, and the nature of the
