CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In particular, we direct your attention to Part I Item 1—Financial Statements, Item 2—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. We intend the forward-looking statements throughout the quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated by reference to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. Statements which are not historical facts contained in this report are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. All projections and statements regarding our expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, our financing plans and the outcome of any contingencies are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as "may", "believe", "plan", "will", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "intend" and other phrases of similar meaning. The forward-looking information is based on information available as of the date of this report on Form 10-Q and on numerous assumptions and developments that are not within our control. Although we believe that our expectations as expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will turn out to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: the ability to obtain new contracts at attractive prices; the size and timing of customer orders; fluctuations in customer demand; competitive factors; the timely completion of contracts; any actions which may be taken by SNPE as the controlling shareholder of the Company with respect to the Company and our businesses; the timing and size of expenditures; the timely receipt of government approvals and permits; the adequacy of local labor supplies at our facilities; the availability and cost of funds; and general economic conditions, both domestically and abroad. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

DYNAMIC MATERIALS CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The information included in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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, 2003.

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dynamic Materials Corporation ("DMC") and its subsidiary in which it has a greater than a 50% interest. All significant intercompany accounts, profits and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

        The functional currency for our foreign operations is the applicable local currency for each affiliate company. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries for which the functional currency is the local currency are translated at exchange rates in effect at period-end, and the statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. Dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity and are included in other cumulative comprehensive income. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses which are reflected in income as unrealized (based on period-end translations) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. Cash flows from our operations in foreign countries are translated at actual exchange rates when known, or at the average rate for the period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows will not agree to changes in the corresponding balances in the consolidated balance sheets. The effects of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies are reported as a separate line item below cash flows from financing activities.

        DMC's contracts with its customers generally require the production and delivery of multiple units or products. The Company records revenue from the contracts using the completed contract method as products are completed and shipped to the customer. If, as a contract proceeds toward completion, projected total cost on an individual contract indicates a potential loss, we currently provide for such anticipated loss.

        The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"), and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options including Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 148, Accounting for Stock-

10


Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure ("SFAS 148"). Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options is generally equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized. SFAS No. 123, Accounting and Disclosure of Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), establishes an alternative method of expense recognition for stock-based compensation awards to employees that is based on fair values. The Company elected not to adopt SFAS 123 for expense recognition purposes.

        Pro-forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options and employees stock purchase plan under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of the options granted was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 
  Three Months Ended
June 30,

  Six Months Ended
June 30,

 
 
  2004
  2003
  2004
  2003
 
Risk-free interest rate   3.6 % N/A   3.2 % 2.5 %
Expected lives   4.0 years   N/A   4.0 years   4.0 years  
Expected volatility   74.4 % N/A   77.6 % 101.0 %
Expected dividend yield   0.0 % N/A   0.0 % 0.0 %

        The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price characteristics significantly different from those of traded options. Expected volatility is computed using the Company's historic stock prices over the preceding three-year period. Because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

        The weighted average fair value of options granted for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $2.05. No options were granted for the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the weighted average fair value of options granted was $1.99 and $1.66, respectively. For purposes of pro-forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting periods. The Company's pro-forma net income (loss) and pro-forma net income (loss) per share, as if the Company had used the fair value accounting provisions of SFAS 123, are shown below.

        The Company's existing 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, limits on capital expenditures and maintenance of specified financial ratios. As of June 30, 2004, the Company failed to meet minimum debt service coverage and minimum net income covenants for its U.S. operations under its revolving line of credit with a U.S. bank. Covenant violations occurred primarily as a result of significant operating losses incurred by the Company's Spin Forge division during 2004. The Company has obtained an amendment on this revolving line of credit which waives the covenant violations and sets forth new financial covenants for the remainder of the year which are

12


based on management's forecast of 2004 operating results, cash flows and capital expenditures. Additionally, the amendment extends the expiration date for the revolving line of credit from December 4, 2004 to December 4, 2005. Therefore, as of June 30, 2004, the Company has classified the outstanding borrowings under this line of credit as long term.

5.     BUSINESS SEGMENTS

        DMC is organized in the following two segments: the Explosive Metalworking Group and AMK Welding. The Explosive Metalworking Group uses explosives to perform metal cladding 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. AMK Welding utilizes a number of welding technologies to weld components for manufacturers of jet engines and ground based turbines.

        Historically, our Aerospace Group has been comprised of the AMK Welding, Spin Forge and PMP divisions. Since PMP and Spin Forge are now reported as discontinued operations due to the 2003 sale of PMP and the planned divestiture of Spin Forge in 2004, the Aerospace Group no longer exists and AMK Welding is been reported as standalone business segment.

        DMC's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services and are separately managed. Each segment is 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, 2004 and 2003 as follows:

7.     DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        On October 7, 2003, DMC completed the sale of its PMP division. The sale price was $580,000 and was financed through the issuance of a promissory note payable over a 21/2 year period. The sale included the inventory and property, plant and equipment of PMP.

        During the three months ended June 30, 2004, DMC reached a decision to divest of its Spin Forge division under a plan that involves subleasing the Spin Forge real estate and leasing the manufacturing equipment and tooling to a third party. The division's inventory would be sold to this third party who would also assume full responsibility for Spin Forge business activities and operating expenses. With respect to the Spin Forge manufacturing equipment and tooling, DMC recorded an after tax impairment loss of $619,000 in its June 30, 2004 financial statements based upon the difference between the current carrying value of the equipment and the present value of the future minimum equipment lease payments from the third party plus estimated liquidation proceeds at the end of the minimum lease term. The Company holds a purchase option on the Spin Forge real estate that allows it to purchase the real estate for $2,880,000, a price that is significantly below the real estate's recently appraised value. As part of the proposed divestiture transaction, DMC will maintain control of the real estate purchase option but the third party will have the option, through August 1, 2005, to receive an assignment of the primary lease and real estate purchase option from DMC for such reasonable consideration as the parties may mutually agree. The value inherent in the real estate purchase option is believed to be significant but was not considered in the calculation of the reported impairment loss on the Spin Forge equipment and tooling due to uncertainties surrounding its ultimate realization.

        Spin Forge inventory totaled $1,965,138 and $1,728,343 as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The carrying value of the equipment and tooling is $1,091,491 (after impairment) and $2,186,250 at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The Spin Forge inventory and equipment and tooling are classified as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Overview

        DMC's consolidated sales for both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004 increased by 29% from those for the comparable periods of 2003 due to a general strengthening in demand for clad metal plate manufactured by our Explosive Metalworking Group. Explosive Metalworking Group sales for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, increased by 35% and 34%, respectively, and include sales increases of 40% and 48% for the respective periods by the Group's U.S. Clad Metal Division. Despite the large sales increase, consolidated income from operations for the six months ended June 30 declined slightly to $1,832,995 in 2004 from $1,932,414 in 2003 due to a year-to-year decline in AMK Welding operating income and lower Explosive Metalworking Group gross margins in the 2004 period. We reported a consolidated net loss of $296,773 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to net income of $549,113 for the comparable period of 2003. The net loss in 2004 is attributable to a loss from discontinued operations of $1,269,164 that resulted from our recent decision to divest the Spin Forge Division. In the 2003 six-month period, we reported a loss from discontinued operations of $460,622 that reflected the combined after tax operating losses of Spin Forge and the former PMP Division, which was sold on October 7, 2003. After tax income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 remained relatively flat at $972,391 and $1,009,735, respectively.

        Our Explosive Metalworking Group reported sales of $21,086,472 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 versus comparable 2003 sales of $15,751,797 and an increase in operating income to $1,867,306 in 2004 from $1,577,141 in 2003. The outlook for continued improvement in the Group's 2004 sales performance and operating income is promising. The Explosive Metalworking backlog, which had increased from $8.6 million at December 31, 2002 to $11.7 million at December 31, 2003 and $17.3 million as of March 31, 2004, increased further to $21.1 million as of June 30, 2004. This record backlog is the direct result of the strong flow of new orders during the first six months of 2004 that significantly exceeded our expectations and that includes an order in excess of $5 million for the Ravensthorpe nickel project in Australia, which we expect to ship in the fourth quarter of 2004. With the exception of the large nickel hydrometallurgy project orders that we receive periodically, U. S. demand for our clad metal products is largely driven by plant maintenance and retrofit projects at existing chemical processing, petrochemical processing and oil refining facilities. Postponed capital spending within these industries over the past few years, improved economic conditions and the "Clean Fuels Act" appear to be working together to increase demand for our products in the U.S. In contrast to the U.S. market, demand for our clad products in Europe is more dependent on large projects, such as the building of new purified terephthalic acid ("PTA") plants in different parts of the world, and on sales of electrical transition joints that are used in the aluminum smelting industry. European sales are expected to be strong in the second half of 2004 as Nobelclad ships products relating to orders in support of new PTA plant construction and continues to gain market share in the electrical transition joint business.

        Historically, our Aerospace Group has been comprised of the AMK Welding, Spin Forge and PMP divisions. Since PMP and Spin Forge are now reported as discontinued operations due to the 2003 sale of PMP and the planned divestiture of Spin Forge in 2004, the Aerospace Group no longer exists and AMK Welding has been reported as a standalone business segment in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, AMK Welding reported sales of $1,058,741 compared to sales of $1,454,258 in the first half of 2003. As a result of this 27% sales decrease, AMK Welding reported a year-to-date operating loss of $34,311 in 2004 compared to operating income of $355,273 in 2003. Development work performed in 2003 on a new ground-based turbine did not recur during the first half of 2004 and the absence of such work in 2004 is largely responsible for the decline in AMK's sales and operating income levels. Based upon a recent increase in orders, AMK's sales and operating results are expected to show modest improvement during the

17



second half of 2004 from those reported for the first half of the year but full year 2004 results will likely fall short of those reported in 2003. However, prospects at AMK for 2005 and beyond appear to be excellent as the new ground-based turbine goes into production and the demand for commercial aircraft engines, which has been depressed since 2001, continues to improve. AMK sales in 2005 are expected to exceed those of 2002 when AMK reported sales of approximately $3.3 million and operating income in excess of $1 million.

        DMC generated cash flow from operations of approximately $3,075,000 during the first six months of 2004, the majority of which was applied to the funding of capital expenditures, scheduled long-term debt principal payments, and operating losses and working capital requirements of the discontinued operations of Spin Forge in the approximate amounts of $630,000 and $1,477,000 and $842,000, respectively. Based on expected improvements in operating income during the remainder of 2004 and minimal expected income tax payments due to more than $2.5 million in net operating loss carry-forwards for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, we expect operating cash flow for the remainder of 2004 to be strong. A significant portion of the operating cash flow that we expect to generate in 2004 will be used to satisfy approximately $2.6 million in principal payments that are due in 2004 under various long-term debt agreements. These payments will further strengthen our balance sheet, which also benefited from payments on long-term debt of approximately $2.2 million in 2003.

        Net Sales.    Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased by 29.5% to $11,985,085 from $9,256,393 in the second quarter of 2003. Sales by the Explosive Metalworking Group, which includes explosion bonding of clad metal and shock synthesis of synthetic diamonds, increased by 34.8% to $11,426,038 in the second quarter of 2004 from $8,478,766 in the second quarter of 2003. The Explosive Metalworking sales increase reflects a 40.2% increase in U.S. clad sales and a 26.6% U.S. dollar sales increase at Nobleclad Europe. Nobelclad Europe's sales increase reflects a sales volume increase of 19.4% with the remainder of the 26.6% increase being attributable to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The overall increase in quarter-to-quarter worldwide Explosive Metalworking Group sales is principally attributable to the improved economic condition of the industries that the Group serves

18



as evidenced by an increase in backlog from $10.7 million at March 31, 2003 to $17.3 million as of March 31, 2004. This positive sales trend is expected to continue in the second half of 2004 based on an increase in the backlog to $21.1 million as of June 30, 2004. Sales at AMK Welding, the only continuing operating division in what was formerly our Aerospace Group, decreased by 28.1% to $559,047 in the second quarter of 2004 from $777,627 in the second quarter of 2003. Lower quarter-to-quarter revenues from ground-based turbine work negatively affected AMK Welding's second quarter 2004 sales as AMK waits for a customer to transition a new ground-based turbine system from development into production.

        For the six months ended June 30, 2004, net sales increased by 28.7% to $22,145,213 from $17,206,055 for the comparable period of 2003. Explosive Metalworking Group sales for the comparable six-month periods increased by 33.9% to $21,086,472 in 2004 from $15,751,797 in 2003. As discussed above, the overall increase in worldwide Explosive Metalworking sales is principally attributable to the improved economic condition of the industries that the Group serves as evidenced by significant year-to-year backlog increases. AMK Welding sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 totaled $1,058,741, a decrease of 27.2% from sales of $1,454,258 reported for the comparable period of 2003. This year-to-year sales decrease is also attributable to the lower revenues from ground-based turbine work as discussed above.

        Gross Profit.    Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased by 10.1% to $2,886,844 from $2,621,806 in the second quarter of 2003. The gross profit margin rate for the second quarter of 2004 was 24.1%, a 15% decrease from the gross profit margin rate of 28.3% for the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, gross profit was $5,214,178, a 6.8% increase from $4,883,233 in a comparable period of 2003. The gross profit margin rate for the first six months of 2004 was 23.5%, a 17% decrease from the gross profit margin rate of 28.4% for the first six months of 2003.

        The gross profit margin for the Explosive Metalworking Group decreased to 24.5% in the second quarter of 2004 from 27.7% in the second quarter of 2003. This decrease is primarily a result of unfavorable product mix changes in the Group's U.S. operations, whose second quarter gross margin rate decreased to 26.2% in 2004 from 32.0% in 2003. Nobelcad Europe's second quarter gross margin rate increased slightly to 21.2% in 2004 from 20.8% in 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the gross profit margin for the Explosive Metalworking Group decreased to 24.2% from 28.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. This decrease reflects a decrease in the U.S. gross margin rate to 28.0% in 2004 from 30.0% in 2003 and a decrease in Nobelclad Europe's year-to-date gross margin rate to 17.5% in 2004 from 25.0% in 2003. The year-to-year decrease in Nobelclad's gross margin rate reflects an unfavorable first quarter 2004 product mix and the negative impact of stiff local market price competition on certain orders that were booked in late 2003 and early 2004.

        The gross profit margin for AMK Welding was 16.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as compared to a gross margin of 35.2% in the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, AMK Welding's gross profit margin decreased to 9.7% from 32.4% for the comparable period of 2003. The gross margin declines at AMK Welding reflect less favorable absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead expenses resulting from the sales declines experienced in 2004.

        General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 were $895,911, a 22.2% increase from the $733,175 reported in the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, general and administrative expenses increased to $1,684,498 from $1,449,259 in the comparable period of 2003. The increase in general and administrative expenses for both the second quarter and six-month periods of 2004 reflect increases in consulting fees, legal expenses and board of director fees. Increased consulting fees relate to the use of an outside consultant to assist with the Spin Forge divestiture efforts. The increase in legal expenses relates to assistance with the preparation of proxy materials for the annual stockholders meeting held on June 10, 2004 (the 2003 annual stockholders meeting was held in October) and the implementation

19



of new corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Director fees increased as a result of an increase in the number of meetings held during the first half of 2004 versus the first half of 2003 and an increase in the quarterly retainer and meeting fees paid to directors that became effective on July 1, 2003.

        As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 7.5% in the second quarter of 2004 from 7.9% in the second quarter of 2003 as a result of the 29.5% increase in second quarter 2004 sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 7.6% from 8.4% for the comparable six-month period.

        Selling Expenses.    Selling expenses increased by 21.8% to $940,653 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $772,501 in the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, selling expenses increased by 13% to $1,696,685 from $1,501,560 in the comparable period of 2003. The increase in selling expenses for both the second quarter and six-month periods of 2004 reflects an increase in accrued bonus expense associated with the higher profitability of the U.S. Clad Metal Division in 2004 and increased spending in 2004 on business travel and outside consultants relating to the higher level of business activity and the pursuit of new business development opportunities.

        As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses decreased from 8.3% in the second quarter of 2003 to 7.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as a result of the increase in second quarter 2004 sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, selling expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 7.6% from 8.8% for the comparable six-month period.

        Income from Operations.    For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, we reported income from operations of $1,050,280, a decrease of 5.9% from the $1,116,130 of operating income reported for the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we reported operating income of $1,832,995, which represented a 5.1% decrease from the $1,932,414 in operating income that we reported for the first six months of 2003.

        Our Explosive Metalworking Group reported income from operations of $1,031,749 in the second quarter of 2004 compared to operating income of $900,509 in the second quarter of 2003. This operating income increase reflects a sales increase of $2,947,272, or 34.8%, that was partially offset by a decrease in the Group's gross margin rate from 28.3% in 2003 to 24.1% in 2004 and higher second quarter 2004 operating expense levels. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, our Explosive Metalworking Group reported income from operations of $1,867,306, an 18.4% increase from operating income of $1,577,141 for the comparable period of 2003. This operating income increase reflects a sales increase of $5,334,675, or 33.9%, that was partially offset by a decrease in the Group's gross margin rate from 28.4% in 2003 to 23.5% in 2004 and higher 2004 operating expenses.

        AMK Welding reported operating income of $18,531 in the second quarter of 2004 compared to operating income of $215,621 in the prior year second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, AMK reported an operating loss of $34,311 compared to operating income of $355,273 for the comparable period of 2003. The unfavorable changes in operating income levels at AMK are principally attributable to the second quarter and year-to-date 2004 sales declines that AMK experienced as further discussed above.

        Interest Expense, net.    Interest expense decreased by 21.3% to $103,063 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $131,017 in the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, interest expense decreased by 18.6% to $222,403 from $273,384 for the comparable period in 2003. These decreases reflect a combination of lower outstanding borrowings and lower average interest rates in 2004.

        Income Tax Provision.    For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, DMC recorded a consolidated income tax provision of $384,685 on income from continuing operations as compared to a consolidated

20



income tax provision of $384,008 in the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded a consolidated income tax provision of $645,243 on income from continuing operations as compared to a consolidated income tax provision of $649,332 for the comparable period of 2003. The effective tax rate increased slightly to 40.5% and 39.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, from 39.1% for both of the respective 2003 periods.

        Income from Continuing Operations.    For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, income from continuing operations decreased to $564,931 from $597,226 in the second quarter of 2003. Income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased 3.7% to $972,391 from $1,009,735 for the first half of 2003. The decreases for both periods are principally a result of the decline in AMK Welding operating results as discussed above but also reflect the lower gross margin rates reported by our Explosive Metalworking Group in 2004.

        Loss from Discontinued Operations.    On October 7, 2003, DMC completed the sale of its PMP division. In our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, we reported the loss on the sale of PMP as well as the operating losses reported by PMP in 2003, 2002 and 2001 as discontinued operations, net of related tax benefits. Accordingly, for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003, we reported net of tax operating losses of $120,110 and $302,586, respectively, to present PMP's 2003 operating losses as discontinued operations.

        DMC currently has a divestiture plan for its Spin Forge division that involves subleasing the Spin Forge real estate and leasing the manufacturing equipment and tooling to a third party. The division's inventory would be sold to this third party who would also assume full responsibilities for Spin Forge business activities and operating expenses. With respect to the Spin Forge manufacturing equipment and tooling, we have recorded an after tax impairment loss of $619,000 in our June 30, 2004 financial statements based upon the difference between the current carrying value of the equipment and the present value of the future minimum equipment lease payments from the third party plus estimated liquidation proceeds at the end of the minimum lease term. The Company holds a purchase option on the Spin Forge real estate that allows it to purchase the real estate for $2,880,000, a price that is significantly below the real estate's recently appraised value. As part of the proposed divestiture transaction, DMC will maintain control of this real estate purchase option but the third party will have the option, through August 1, 2005, to receive an assignment of the primary lease and real estate purchase option from DMC for such reasonable consideration as the parties may mutually agree. The value inherent in this real estate purchase option is believed to be significant but was not considered in the calculation of the impairment loss on the Spin Forge equipment and tooling due to uncertainties surrounding its ultimate realization.

        In the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have reported the 2004 and 2003 operating losses of Spin Forge and the asset impairment loss discussed above as discontinued operations, net of related tax benefits. For the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, we reported net of tax operating losses of $450,919 and $81,708, respectively, from the discontinued operations of Spin Forge. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, we reported net of tax operating losses of $650,164 and $158,036, respectively, with respect to the discontinued operations of Spin Forge. The large increases in the Spin Forge 2004 operating losses reflects a decrease in second quarter sales from $1,444,811 in 2003 to only $147,689 in 2004 and a decrease in year-to-date sales from $2,699,014 in 2003 to $969,069 in 2004.

        Net Income.    We reported a net loss of $504,988 in the second quarter of 2004 compared to net income of $395,408 in the second quarter of 2003. The net loss for the second quarter of 2004 includes income from continuing operations of $564,931 that was offset by a loss from discontinued operations of $1,069,919. Net income for the second quarter of 2003 includes income from continuing operations of $597,226 that was partially offset by a loss from discontinued operations of $201,818. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we reported a net loss of $296,773, which includes income from

21



continuing operations of $972,391 offset by a loss from discontinued operations of $1,269,164. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, we reported net income of $549,113, which includes income from continuing operations of $1,009,735 that was partially offset by a loss from discontinued operations of $460,622.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Historically, DMC has obtained its operational financing from a combination of internally generated cash flow, revolving credit borrowings, various long-term debt arrangements and the issuance of common stock. We believe that cash flow from operations and funds available under our current credit facilities and any future replacement thereof will be sufficient to fund working capital, debt service obligations and capital expenditure requirements of our current business operations for the foreseeable future. However, a significant portion of our 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 our ability to meet cash requirements exclusively through operating activities. Consequently, any restriction on the availability of borrowing under our credit facilities could lessen our ability to meet future cash requirements. DMC attempts to minimize its risk of losing customers or specific contracts by continually improving product quality, delivering product on time and competing favorably on the basis of price. Risks associated with the availability of funds are minimized by borrowing from multiple lenders. The nature of DMC's business is largely insulated from the negative effects of inflation on sales and operating income because the pricing on custom orders reflects current raw material and other manufacturing costs.

        The Company's existing 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, limits on capital expenditures and maintenance of specified financial ratios. As of June 30, 2004, the Company failed to meet minimum debt service coverage and minimum net income covenants for its U.S. operations under its revolving line of credit with a U.S. bank. Covenant violations occurred primarily as a result of significant operating losses incurred by the Company's Spin Forge division during 2004. The Company has obtained an amendment on this revolving line of credit which waives the covenant violations and sets forth new financial covenants for the remainder of the year which are based on management's updated forecast of 2004 operating results, cash flows and capital expenditures. Additionally, the amendment extends the expiration date for the revolving line of credit from December 4, 2004 to December 4, 2005. Therefore, as of June 30, 2004, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants and provisions of its debt agreements. There is no assurance that the Company will not violate financial covenants in the future and, in the event of a default, that the Company will be successful in obtaining waivers.

        The Company's principal cash flows related to debt obligations, operating lease obligations and purchase obligations have not materially changed since December 31, 2003.

Highlights from the Statement of Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

        Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $3,074,645. Significant sources of operating cash flow included net income from continuing operations of $972,391, depreciation and amortization of $683,089, deferred tax expense of $627,096 and positive net changes of $792,069 in various components of working capital. Net positive changes in working capital include an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses aggregating $2,951,441. This positive change in working capital was largely offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventories of $1,838,155 and $702,689, respectively. The large increases in accounts receivable and inventories reflect the higher production and sales volume associated with the general strength of our Explosive

22



Metalworking segment. Fortunately, we were able to finance these working capital requirements by increasing our accounts payable and accrued expenses.

        Cash used in investing activities totaled $553,192 and included capital expenditures in the amount of $630,326 that was offset by payments received of $52,500 on a promissory note receivable and a net decrease in other non-current assets of $24,364.

        Net cash flows used in financing activities totaled $1,504,978. Significant uses of cash for financing activities included $666,666 in principal payments on the SNPE, Inc. term loan, industrial development revenue bond principal payments of $455,000, a principal payment on the term loan with a French bank for $355,518 and a repayment of a bank overdraft of $177,745. These debt repayments were partially offset by net borrowings of $90,441 on bank lines of credit.

        Cash flows used in discontinued operations totaled $841,780 and were primarily the result of the operating losses incurred by Spin Forge.

Highlights from the Statement of Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2003

        Net cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $2,206,414. Significant sources of operating cash flow included net income from continuing operations of $1,009,735, depreciation and amortization of $614,265, deferred tax expense of $389,415 and positive net changes of $192,999 in various components of working capital. Net positive changes in working capital included a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,488,197 and an increase in accounts payable of $1,027,195. These positive changes in working capital were partially offset by increases in inventories and prepaid expenses of $1,462,261 and $256,298, respectively, and a decrease in accrued expenses of $603,834.

        Cash used in investing activities totaled $621,261 and was comprised primarily of capital expenditures in the amount of $649,618.

        Net cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $481,767. Uses of cash flow from financing activities included repayment of a bank overdraft of $177,705, principal payments on industrial development revenue bonds in the amount of $415,000, and $1,333,332 in principal payments on the SNPE, Inc. term loan. These debt repayments were partially offset by net borrowings of $1,114,639 on bank lines of credit and $307,034 on net borrowings on related party lines of credit.

        Cash flows used in discontinued operations totaled $1,114,190 and were the result of the operating losses of Spin Forge and PMP as well as negative changes in working capital for those divisions.

Future Capital Needs and Resources

        We anticipate that, for the foreseeable future, available cash flows will be principally used for:

        We expect cash inflows from operating activities to exceed outflows for the full year 2004. However, our success depends on the execution of our strategies, including our ability to:

23


        Based on available cash resources, anticipated capital expenditures and projected operating cash flow, we believe that we will be able to fully fund our operations through 2004. In making this assessment, we have considered:

        If our business plans change, or if economic conditions change materially, our cash flow, profitability and anticipated cash needs could change significantly. In particular, any acquisition or new business opportunity could involve significant additional funding needs in excess of the identified currently available sources, and could require us to raise additional equity or debt funding to meet those needs.

Critical Accounting Policies

        In response to the SEC's Release No. 33-8040, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies, we identified the most critical accounting principles upon which our financial status depends. We determined the critical principles by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. We identified our most critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition, asset impairment, inventory valuation and impact of foreign currency exchange rate risks.

        Revenue Recognition.    The Company's contracts with its customers generally require the production and delivery of multiple units or products. The Company records revenue from its contracts using the completed contract method as products are completed and shipped to the customer. If, as a contract proceeds toward completion, projected total cost on an individual contract indicates a potential loss, the Company provides currently for such anticipated loss.

        Asset Impairments.    The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by the Company for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In so doing, the Company estimates the future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the asset to its estimated fair value. Otherwise, an impairment loss is not recognized. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of, if any, are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

        Inventory Valuation.    Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost (first-in, first-out) or market value. Cost elements included in inventory are material, labor, subcontract costs and factory overhead.

        Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks.    The functional currency for the Company's foreign operations is the applicable local currency for each affiliate company. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries for which the functional currency is the local currency are translated at exchange rates in effect at period-end, and the statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity and are included in other cumulative comprehensive income (loss). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses which are reflected in income as unrealized (based on period-end translations) or realized upon settlement of the

24



transactions. Cash flows from the Company's operations in foreign countries are translated at actual exchange rates when known, or at the average rate for the period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows will not agree to changes in the corresponding balances in the consolidated balance sheets. The effects of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies are reported as a separate line item below cash flows from financing activities.


ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

        There have been no events that materially affect our quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.


ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

        As of June 30, 2004, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2004. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to June 30, 2004.

        The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls or its internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. As a result of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. As a result of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Accordingly, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
