NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The information included in the Condensed Financial Statements is unaudited
but includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods
presented. These Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements that are included in the Company's Annual Report
filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH SNPE, INC.
On June 14, 2000 the Company's stockholders approved a Stock Purchase
Agreement ("the Agreement") between the Company and SNPE, Inc ("SNPE"). The
closing of the transaction, which was held immediately following stockholder
approval, resulted in a payment from SNPE of $5,800,000 to the Company in
exchange for 2,109,091 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $2.75
per share causing SNPE to become a 50.8% stockholder of the Company on the
closing date. An additional $1,200,000 cash payment was made by SNPE to the
Company to purchase a five-year, 5% Convertible Subordinated Note that is
convertible in whole or in part into common stock by SNPE at a conversion price
of $6 per share. The Company also borrowed $3,500,000 on June 14, 2000 under a
new credit facility with SNPE, which provides up to $3,500,000 in borrowings for
working capital requirements through June 30, 2001. The SNPE credit facility,
which bears interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.5%, may be increased to a
maximum of $4,500,000 in total borrowings subject to certain approvals by SNPE.
Proceeds from the SNPE equity investment, convertible subordinated note issuance
and credit facility borrowings enabled the Company to repay all borrowings from
its bank under a revolving credit facility on which the Company had been in
default since September 30, 1999.
3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
The FASB recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
133"), which requires that companies recognize all derivatives as either assets
or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. Under SFAS 133, accounting
for changes in fair value of a derivative depends on its intended use and
designation. SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this new standard.
In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101") "Views on Selected Revenue
Recognition Issues" which provides the staff's views in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. The
Company is required to implement SAB 101 during the second quarter of 2000. The
Company is currently assessing the effect of implementing SAB 101.

5. CONSTRUCTION IN PROCESS
Building and equipment costs of $686,868 related to the Company's new
manufacturing facility were transferred from construction in process to
property, plant and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Construction began in September 1998 and was largely completed during the third
quarter of 1999 with final completion during the second quarter of 2000. The
project was financed using proceeds from the issuance of industrial development
revenue bonds ("the Bonds"). The portion of the borrowings on the bonds not yet
expended for construction was $169,304 (which includes accrued interest) as of
June 30, 2000 and is classified as restricted cash and investments (non-current)
in the accompanying balance sheet. The proceeds are being held by a trustee
until qualified expenditures are made and reimbursed to the Company.
6. LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt consists of the following at June 30, 2000 and December 31,

=========== =============
Loan Covenants and Restrictions
The Company's loan agreements include various covenants and restrictions,
certain of which relate to the payment of dividends or other distributions to
stockholders, redemption of capital stock, incurrence of additional
indebtedness, mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets and
maintenance of specified financial ratios.
Due largely to the operating losses the Company incurred during 1999 and
the first quarter of 2000, the Company violated certain financial covenants
under both its amended and restated credit facility with its bank and its
reimbursement agreement relating to the letter of credit with its bank that
supports payment of the principal and interest under the bonds. As a result of
the debt and equity infusion from SNPE (see note 2), the Company was able to
completely repay all outstanding borrowings under its bank credit facility and
terminated this facility on June 14, 2000. Additionally the Company was able to
restructure financial covenants under the reimbursement agreement. In connection
with the early termination of the credit facility, the Company recorded an
$80,111 loss on the early extinguishment of this debt. As of June 30, 2000, the
Company is in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of
its debt agreements.
7. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company is organized in the following two segments: the Explosive
Metalworking Group and the Aerospace Group. The Explosive Metalworking Group
uses explosives to perform metal cladding, metal forming and shock synthesis.
The most significant product of this group is clad metal which is used in the
fabrication of pressure vessels, heat exchangers and transition joints used in
the hydrocarbon processing, chemical processing, power generation,
petrochemical, pulp and paper, mining, shipbuilding and heat, ventilation and
air conditioning industries. The Aerospace Group machines, forms and welds parts
for the commercial aircraft, aerospace and defense industries.
The accounting policies of both segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies.
The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer
different products and services and are separately managed. Each segment's
products are marketed to different customer types and requires different
manufacturing processes and technologies. Segment information is presented for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 as follows:

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
General
Dynamic Materials Corporation ("DMC" or the "Company") is a worldwide
leader in explosive metalworking and, through its new Aerospace Group, is
involved in a variety of metal forming, machining, welding, and assembly
activities. The explosive metalworking business includes the use of explosives
to perform metallurgical bonding, or "metal cladding" and shock synthesis of
synthetic diamonds. The Company performs metal cladding using its proprietary
Dynaclad(TM) and Detaclad(R) technologies. The Company's revenues from its
explosive metalworking businesses, as a proportion of total Company revenues,
have declined as a result a significant slowdown in global market demand for
explosion bonded clad metal plate and the 1998 acquisitions of AMK Welding, Spin
Forge and Precision Machined Products. The Company's Aerospace Group was formed
from these three acquisitions and accounted for 22% and 42% of the Company's
1998 revenues and 1999 revenues, respectively. The proportion of revenues
accounted for by the Aerospace Group for the quarter and six months ended June
30, 2000 was 35% and 41%, compared to 41% and 38% for the comparable periods of
1999.
Explosive Metalworking. Clad metal products are used in manufacturing
processes or environments that involve highly corrosive chemicals, high
temperatures and/or high pressure conditions. For example, the Company
fabricates clad metal tube sheets for heat exchangers. Heat exchangers are used
in a variety of high temperature, high pressure, highly corrosive chemical
processes, such as processing crude oil in the petrochemical industry and
processing chemicals used in the manufacture of synthetic fibers. In addition,
the Company has produced titanium clad plates used in the fabrication of metal
autoclaves to replace autoclaves made of brick and lead for two customers in the
mining industry. The Company believes that its clad metal products are an
economical, high-performance alternative to the use of solid corrosion-resistant
alloys. In addition to clad metal products, the explosive metalworking business
includes shock synthesis of synthetic diamonds.
Aerospace Manufacturing. Formed metal products are made from sheet metal
and forgings that are subsequently formed into precise, three-dimensional shapes
that are held to tight tolerances. Metal forming is accomplished through the use
of traditional forming technologies, including spinning, machining, rolling and
hydraulic expansion. DMC also performs welding services utilizing a variety of
manual and automatic welding techniques that include electron beam and gas
tungsten arc welding processes. The Company's forming and welding operations are
often performed to support the manufacture of completed assemblies and
sub-assemblies required by its customers. Fabrication and assembly services are
performed utilizing the Company's close-tolerance machining, forming, welding,
inspection and other special service capabilities. The Company's forming,
machining, welding and assembly operations serve a variety of product
applications in the commercial aircraft, aerospace, defense and power generation
industries. Product applications include tactical missile motor cases, titanium
pressure tanks for launch vehicles, and complex, high precision component parts
for satellites.
On June 14, 2000 the Company's stockholders approved a Stock Purchase
Agreement ("the Agreement") between the Company and SNPE, Inc ("SNPE"). The
closing of the transaction, which was held immediately following stockholder
approval, resulted in a payment from SNPE of $5,800,000 to the Company in
exchange for 2,109,091 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $2.75
per share causing SNPE to become a 50.8% stockholder of the Company on the
closing date. An additional $1,200,000 cash payment was made by SNPE to the
Company to purchase a five-year, 5% Convertible Subordinated Note that is
convertible in whole or in part into common stock by SNPE at a conversion price
of $6 per share. The Company also borrowed $3,500,000 on June 14, 2000 under a
new credit facility with SNPE, which provides up to $3,500,000 in borrowings for
working capital requirements through June 30, 2001. The SNPE credit facility,
which bears interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.5%, may be increased to a
maximum of $4,500,000 in total borrowings subject to certain approvals by SNPE.
Proceeds from the SNPE equity investment, convertible subordinated note issuance
and credit facility borrowings enabled the Company to repay all borrowings from
its bank under a revolving credit facility on which the Company had been in
default since September 30, 1999.
In 1999, the Company experienced significant operating losses as a result
of a significant slowdown in global market demand for explosion bonded clad
metal plate and non-recurring charges associated with plant closing costs, new
facility start-up costs, asset impairment write-downs and expenses incurred in
connection with efforts to sell the Explosive Metalworking Group. During the
first half of 2000, the Company again experienced operating losses due to the
continued slowdown in global market demand for explosion bonded clad metal plate
and lower sales and gross margins in its Aerospace Group. The Company expects
the reduced demand for its clad metal products to continue at least through the
end of 2000. The Company also experienced, and expects to continue to
experience, quarterly fluctuations in operating results caused by various
factors, including the timing and size of orders from major customers, customer
inventory levels, shifts in product mix, the occurrence of acquisition and
divestiture-related costs, and general economic conditions. The Company
typically does not obtain long-term volume purchase contracts from its
customers. Quarterly sales and operating results therefore depend on the volume
and timing of backlog as well as bookings received during the quarter. A
significant portion of the Company's operating expenses is fixed, and planned
expenditures are based primarily on sales forecasts and product development
programs. If sales do not meet the Company's expectations in any given period,
the adverse impact on operating results may be magnified by the Company's
inability to adjust operating expenses sufficiently or quickly enough to
compensate for such a shortfall. In addition, the Company uses numerous
suppliers of alloys, steels and other materials for its operations. The Company
typically bears a short-term risk of alloy, steel and other component price
increases, which could adversely affect the Company's gross profit margins.
Although the Company will work with customers and suppliers to minimize the
impact of any component shortages, component shortages have had, and are
expected from time to time to have, short-term adverse effects on the Company's
business. Results of operations in any period should not be considered
indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. Fluctuations in
operating results may also result in fluctuations in the price of the Company's
common stock.
Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Quarter and Six Months
June 30, 1999
The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the percentage

Net Loss -8.3% -14.1% -8.6% -5.4%
Net Sales. Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased by 7.5% to
$8,320,483 from $7,737,924 in the second quarter of 1999. The Company's
Aerospace Group contributed $2,943,210 (35.4% of total sales) to second quarter
2000 sales versus sales of $3,208,071 (41.4% of total sales) in the second
quarter of 1999. Sales by the Explosive Metalworking Group, which includes
explosion bonding of clad metal and shock synthesis of synthetic diamonds,
increased by 18.7% from $4,529,853 in the second quarter of 1999 to $5,377,273
in the second quarter of 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net sales
decreased by 15.7% to $14,707,107 from $17,444,185 for the comparable period of
1999. Aerospace Group sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 totaled
$6,024,488 (41.0% of total sales), a decrease of 8% from sales of $6,548,844
(37.5% of total sales) reported for the comparable period of 1999. Sales by the
Explosive Metalworking Group for the comparable six-month period decreased by
20.3% from $10,895,341 in 1999 to $8,682,619 in 2000. The decrease in Explosive
Metalworking Group sales for the six-month period reflects a significant
slowdown in global market demand for explosion bonded clad metal plate that is
expected to continue for at least the remainder of the year 2000.
Gross Profit. As a result of the increase in the Company's net sales and lower
fixed manufacturing costs for the Explosive Metalworking Group, gross profit for
the quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased by 30.8% to $1,064,165 from $813,275
in the second quarter of 1999. The gross profit margin for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 was 12.8%, representing a 22% increase from the gross profit
margin of 10.5% for the second quarter of 1999. For the six months ended June
30, 2000, gross profit decreased 29.0% to $1,898,999 from $2,675,474 in the
comparable period of 1999. The gross profit margin for the six months ended June
30, 2000 was 12.9%, representing a 15.7% decline from the gross profit margin of
15.3% for the first six months of 1999. The gross profit margin for the
Explosive Metalworking Group increased from a negative gross margin of 0.3% in
the second quarter of 1999 to a gross margin of 12.0% in the second quarter of
2000. For the comparable six-month periods, Explosive Metalworking gross margins
increased from 7.8% in 1999 to 10.4% in 2000. The increase in gross profit
margins for the Explosive Metalworking Group are due to favorable fixed
manufacturing overhead cost variances associated with the operation of the new
manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania. The gross profit margin for the
Aerospace Group was 14.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 as compared to
25.8% in the second quarter of 1999. For the comparable six-month periods,
Aerospace Group gross margins decreased from 27.9% in 1999 to 16.6% in 2000. The
decline in operating unit gross margin rates for the Aerospace Group reflects a
decrease in year-to-year sales at Spin Forge and AMK and unfavorable product mix
changes at each of the three Aerospace Group operating units.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 decreased by 2.0% to $909,210 from $927,743 in the second
quarter of 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, general and
administrative expenses decreased by 5.6% to $1,776,741 from $1,882,107 in the
comparable period of 1999. The decreases in general and administrative expenses
are largely due to reductions in salaries, payroll taxes and benefits. As a
percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased from
12.0% in the second quarter of 1999 to 10.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
and increased from 10.8% to 12.1% for the comparable six-month periods.
Selling Expense. Selling expenses increased by 8.7% to $422,401 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 from $388,733 in the second quarter of 1999. For the six
months ended June 30, 2000, selling expenses increased by 0.8% to $789,430 from
$783,185 in the comparable period of 1999. Selling expenses for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000 included $80,284 of non-recurring expenses
associated with severance pay and other employee separation costs. Excluding the
non-recurring employee separation costs, selling expenses decreased by 12.0% to
$342,117 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $388,733 in the second quarter
of 1999 and by 9.5% to $709,146 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
$783,185 in the comparable period of 1999. These decreases are principally due
to reductions in salaries, payroll taxes and benefits associated with Explosive
Metalworking Group sales staff reductions. Excluding the impact of the
non-recurring expenses discussed above, selling expenses as a percentage of net
sales decreased from 5.0% in the second quarter of 1999 to 4.1% for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 and increased from 4.5% for the six months ended June 30,
1999 to 4.8% for the comparable period of 2000. The increased percentage for the
six-month period is attributable to the 15.7% decline in sales for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 versus the comparable period of 1999.
Start-up Costs. Beginning in 1998, the Company began to separately report the
start-up costs associated with the construction of a new facility in
Pennsylvania for the manufacture of clad metal plates. Start-up costs for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999 totaled $143,735 and $208,958,
respectively. Start-up costs include salaries, benefits and travel expenses for
Company employees assigned to this project, field office expenses and other
operating expenses directly associated with this project. The new facility
commenced operations in August 1999 at which time all operating costs associated
with this new facility began to be recorded as manufacturing overhead that is
included in the computation of cost of products sold.
Plant Closing Costs. On April 23, 1999, the Company announced that it would be
closing its Louisville, Colorado-based explosion bonded clad metal plate
manufacturing facility in the third quarter of 1999 and consolidating all of its
Explosive Metalworking Group operations into the new Pennsylvania-based clad
metal plate manufacturing facility. For the quarter and six months ended June
30, 1999, the Company recorded non-recurring charges of $549,298 related to
costs associated with this plant closing. Plant closing costs include severance
pay to terminated employees, outplacement service fees and certain expenses to
be incurred in connection with final plant shutdown, clean-up and site
reclamation work subsequent to the discontinuation of manufacturing activities
at this facility in July 1999.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets. In connection with the plant closing discussed
above, the Company identified certain long-lived assets associated with its
Colorado manufacturing operations that were abandoned and had negligible fair
market values. Accordingly, the Company recorded asset impairment write-down
charges in the aggregate amount of $188,079 during the second quarter of 1999
that are included in the results for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
The Company also identified certain inventory that was determined to have little
value as a result of the plant closing. This inventory, which totaled
approximately $108,000, was consequently written off in the second quarter of
1999. This charge is included in cost of products sold for the six months ended
June 30, 1999.
Costs related to Sale of Explosive Metalworking Group. On June 23, 1999, the
Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell certain assets
relating to its Explosive Metalworking Group to AMETEK for approximately $17
million. However, on October 20, 1999, AMETEK notified the Company that it was
terminating the Asset Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Company's
efforts to sell its Explosive Metalworking Group, the Company recorded expenses
of $199,007 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999. These expenses
related principally to investment banking, legal and other third party fees
associated with the terminated sales transaction. Certain of these expenses
continued to be incurred by the Company during the third and fourth quarters of
1999.
Income (Loss ) from Operations. For the second quarter ended June 30, 2000, the
Company reported a $267,446 loss from operations compared to a $1,583,320 loss
from operations for the second quarter of 1999. This decreased loss from
operations is a result of the 30.8% increase in gross profit discussed above and
a reduction in non-recurring charges in the aggregate amount of $1,080,119
associated with plant closing costs, new facility start-up costs, asset
impairment write-downs and expenses incurred in connection with efforts to sell
the Explosive Metalworking Group that was recorded in the second quarter of
1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company reported an operating
loss of $667,172 compared to $1,135,160 in the comparable period of 1999. This
decreased loss from operations is a result of a decrease in non-recurring
charges in the aggregate amount of $1,145,342 associated with plant closing
costs, new facility start-up costs, asset impairment write-downs and expenses
incurred in connection with efforts to sell the Explosive Metalworking Group
that was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The effect of the
decrease in non-recurring costs was partly offset by the 29.0% decrease in gross
profit for the six months ended June 30, 2000 versus the comparable period in
1999 that is attributable to lower sales by the Company's Explosive Metalworking
Group and lower sales and gross margins by the Aerospace Group.
For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company's Aerospace
Group reported a loss from operations of $200,383 and $211,671, respectively, as
compared to income from operations of $270,489 and $683,664 for the respective
comparable periods of 1999. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000,
the Explosive Metalworking Group reported a loss from operations of $67,063 and
$455,501, respectively, as compared to operating losses of $1,853,809 and
$1,818,824 for the respective comparable periods of 1999.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $342,436 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 from $217,172 in the second quarter of 1999. For the six months
ended June 30, 2000, interest expense increased to $705,132 from $426,749 in the
comparable period of 1999. These increases are due to increases in both interest
rates and average borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit
facility. In addition, the increase reflects the interest on the industrial
development revenue bonds being recorded in interest expense for the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2000 versus being capitalized during the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1999. The Company began to record interest on the
industrial development revenue bonds as expense once the new facility commenced
operations in August 1999. Prior to the commencement of operations, interest on
the industrial development revenue bonds was being capitalized.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense). No tax benefit has been recorded for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 2000 since the Company utilized all of its tax
loss carry-backs in 1999 and the Company's current financial position and
near-term operations outlook make the future realization of tax benefits
associated with tax loss carry-forwards uncertain. The income tax benefit for
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999 was 708,000 and 606,000,
respectively, representing respective effective tax rates of 39.4% and 39.1%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Company has obtained most of its operational financing
from a combination of operating activities and an asset-backed revolving credit
facility. Due primarily to the operating losses the Company incurred during 1999
and the first quarter of 2000, the Company violated certain financial covenants
under both its revolving credit facility and the reimbursement agreement related
to the letter of credit supporting payment of principal and interest under the
Company's industrial revenue development bonds (the "Bonds") used to finance the
construction of its manufacturing facilities in Pennsylvania. On June 14, 2000
the Company's stockholders approved a Stock Purchase Agreement ("the Agreement")
between the Company and SNPE, Inc ("SNPE"). The closing of the transaction,
which was held immediately following stockholder approval, resulted in a payment
from SNPE of $5,800,000 to the Company in exchange for 2,109,091 shares of the
Company's common stock at a price of $2.75 per share causing SNPE to become a
50.8% stockholder of the Company on the closing date. An additional $1,200,000
cash payment was made by SNPE to the Company to purchase a five-year, 5%
Convertible Subordinated Note that is convertible in whole or in part into
common stock by SNPE at a conversion price of $6 per share. The Company also
borrowed $3,500,000 on June 14, 2000 under a new credit facility with SNPE,
which provides up to $3,500,000 in borrowings for working capital requirements
through June 30, 2001. The SNPE credit facility, which bears interest at the
Federal Funds Rate plus 1.5%, may be increased to a maximum of $4,500,000 in
total borrowings subject to certain approvals by SNPE. Proceeds from the SNPE
equity investment, convertible subordinated note issuance and credit facility
borrowings aggregated $10,500,000 and enabled the Company to repay all
outstanding borrowings under its bank revolving credit facility on which the
Company had been in default since September 30, 1999. The bank revolving credit
facility was terminated on June 14, 2000. As a result of the SNPE debt and
equity infusion, the Company was also able to restructure financial covenants
under the reimbursement agreement with its bank relating to the industrial
development revenue bonds and is currently in full compliance with all
provisions of its debt agreements.
The Company believes that its cash flow from operations and funds available
under its credit facility with SNPE, Inc., or a replacement credit facility with
a third party financial institution, will be sufficient to fund working capital
and capital expenditure requirements of its current business operations for the
foreseeable future. Management of the Company intends to replace the SNPE credit
facility, which matures on June 30, 2001 and is callable upon 90 days notice
after October 1, 2000, with a new third party credit facility during the latter
part of 2000 or early part of 2001 and believes that the Company's strengthened
balance sheet and improving operating results will enable the Company to secure
such third party financing on reasonable terms. However, a significant portion
of the Company's sales is derived from a relatively small number of customers;
therefore, the failure to perform existing contracts on a timely basis, and to
receive payment for such services in a timely manner, or to enter into future
contracts at projected volumes and profitability levels could adversely affect
the Company's ability to meet its cash requirements exclusively through
operating activities. Consequently, any restriction on the availability of
borrowing under the SNPE credit facility or a replacement facility could
negatively affect the Company's ability to meet its future cash requirements.
