ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) General Development of Business.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995, the Registrant continued for the most part to operate its business as it has the past four years by manufacturing merchant steel bar products, fabricating open-web steel joists and concrete reinforcing steel, and extracting scrap steel and other materials from junked automobiles. In December 1988, however, the Registrant's rebar subsidiary, RESCO Steel Products Corporation, purchased the assets of another rebar fabricating facility located in Salem, Virginia at a cost of $775,000, doubling its production capacity. Due to adverse economic conditions, and in order to initiate cost saving measures, in November 1990, the two rebar facilities were consolidated into one plant, now operating out of the newer location. Roanoke Technical Treatment & Services, Inc., a Roanoke, Virginia subsidiary, was formed in 1990 to license a process for the treatment of electric arc furnace dust. The subsidiary is awaiting various approvals and permits and is uncertain as to a specific time for start-up. In March 1991, the Registrant closed its merchant steel bar rolling mill located in Salem, Virginia due to a decline in order rates. The products manufactured at the Salem plant were produced at the Roanoke plant, which is considerably more efficient. During fiscal year 1994, the Registrant's auto shredding subsidiary, Shredded Products Corporation, completed construction of its new modern facility in Rocky Mount, Virginia, and in November 1994 began operations at the new locality, at a total investment in excess of $8,000,000 for plant and equipment. The new facility, with its own landfill, is providing considerable savings in waste disposal costs. In addition, cost savings and better metal recoveries are being achieved through the use of the more technologically advanced equipment. The other subsidiaries of the Registrant, John W. Hancock, Jr., Inc. and Socar, Inc., have had no material changes in operations or in the mode of conducting their business for the past five years. John W. Hancock, Jr. founded both the Hancock joist subsidiary and its parent, Roanoke Electric Steel Corporation, and served on the Registrant's Board of Directors as Chairman of the Executive Committee until his death in March 1994.
PART I (con'd.)
The Registrant currently anticipates no material changes in operations during the next fiscal year unless there are unforeseen changes in market conditions and profitability.
(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments.
The Registrant's business consists of one industry segment or line of business, which is the extracting of scrap metal from discarded automobiles and the manufacturing, fabricating and marketing of merchant steel bar products, reinforcing bars, open-web steel joists and billets. The industry segment consists of three classes of products - merchant steel products, fabricated bar joists and reinforcing bars and billets.

(c) Narrative Description of Business.
(1) (i) The Registrant manufactures merchant steel products consisting of Angles, Plain Rounds, Flats, Channels and Reinforcing Bars of various sizes and lengths. The principal markets for the Registrant's products are steel fabricators and steel service centers. The products are distributed directly to customers from orders solicited by a paid sales staff of the Registrant.
PART I (con'd.)
The Registrant's subsidiary, Shredded Products Corporation, is involved in the extraction of scrap iron and steel and other metals from junked automobiles and other waste materials. Almost all of the ferrous material is used by the Parent as raw materials. The non-ferrous metals are sold to unrelated purchasers.
Two other subsidiaries, John W. Hancock, Jr., Inc. and Socar, Inc., are engaged in the manufacturing of long- and short-span steel joists. Joists are open-web steel horizontal supports for floors and roofs, used primarily in the construction of commercial and industrial buildings such as shopping centers, factories, warehouses, hospitals, schools, office buildings, nursing homes, and the like. Joists are cheaper and lighter than structural steel or reinforced concrete. The joists are distributed by these subsidiaries to their customers from orders solicited by manufacturer's representatives and pursuant to successful bids placed directly by the companies.
The Registrant's subsidiary, RESCO Steel Products Corporation, fabricates concrete reinforcing steel by cutting and bending rebars to contractors' specifications. The rebars are distributed to contractors from orders solicited by a paid sales staff and pursuant to successful bids placed directly by the subsidiary.
(ii) The Registrant has not recently introduced a new product or begun to do business in a new industry segment that will require the investment of a material amount of assets or that otherwise is material.
(iii) The Registrant's main raw material, scrap steel, is supplied for the most part by scrap dealers within a 200 mile radius of the mill. It is purchased through the David J. Joseph Company who are scrap brokers. The Shredded Products subsidiary supplies 9,000 to 13,000 tons of scrap per month. Although scrap is generally available to the Registrant, the price of scrap steel is highly responsive to changes in demand, including demand in foreign countries as well as in the United States. The ability to maintain satisfactory profit margins in times when scrap is relatively high priced is dependent upon the levels of steel prices, which are determined by market forces. Alloys and other materials needed for the melting process are provided by various domestic and foreign companies.
PART I (con'd.)
Shredded Products Corporation often experiences difficulty in purchasing scrap automobiles at a satisfactory level. Competition from an increasing number of shredding operations and reluctance by dealers to sell scrap automobiles due to market conditions are the main causes. High offering prices generally increase the supply; however, the increased cost to produce sometimes is very competitive with the price of similar scrap that can be purchased on the outside.
Substantially all of John W. Hancock, Jr., Inc.'s steel components are purchased from the Parent, which is located conveniently nearby and, therefore such components are generally available to the Company as needed.
RESCO Steel Products Corporation purchases most of its steel components from suppliers within its market area, determined mainly by freight cost. Such components would be generally available to the Company, since the Parent could produce and supply this raw material, as needed.
Socar, Inc. receives most of its raw steel material from the Parent and other nearby suppliers, the determinant usually being freight cost. The availability of raw materials is not of major concern to the Company, since the Parent could supply most of its needs.
(iv) The Registrant currently holds no patents, trade marks, licenses, franchises or concessions that are material to its business operations.
(v) The business of the Registrant is not seasonal.
(vi) The Registrant does not offer extended payment terms to its customers nor is it normally required to carry significant amounts of inventory to meet rapid delivery requirements of customers; although, at times market conditions have required the stockpiling of popular bar products for rapid delivery. Working capital practices generally remain constant during the course of business except when the Registrant determines it to be advantageous to stockpile raw materials due to price considerations.
(vii) During fiscal year 1995, sales (tons) by the Registrant to John W. Hancock, Jr., Inc., Socar, Inc. and RESCO Steel Products Corporation, wholly-owned subsidiaries, were approximately 10%, 8% and less than 1% of the
PART I (con'd.)
Registrant's total sales (tons), respectively. The largest nonaffiliated customer purchased approximately 26% of total sales (tons) ---15% of total sales (dollars). Alternative marketing and production arrangements were available to the Registrant, so that the loss of this nonaffiliate would not have had a materially adverse effect on the Registrant and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
(viii) The Registrant is of the opinion that the amount of its backlog is not generally material to an understanding of the business. All backlog is shipped within the current fiscal year.
(ix) None of the business of the Registrant is subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of the Government.
(x) The Registrant competes with steel-producing mills of similar size operative within its market region and also larger mills producing similar products. The market region in which the Registrant sells its products consists of the majority of states east of the Mississippi River. Price, including transportation cost, is the major determinant in securing business. Economic recession began to intensify competition during 1990, as selling prices dropped due to a softening in demand. This trend continued through most of 1991 with sharp declines in selling prices due to poor demand and excess inventories and capacity at most mills, although by year-end prices rose slightly. In comparison to the 1991 recession lows, order rates in 1992 showed some improvement while selling prices remained flat. In 1993, market conditions and demand improved significantly, while industry-wide selling prices increased to offset higher raw material costs. Demand in 1994 was fueled by continued improvement in business conditions and economic growth, with higher raw material costs again forcing selling prices upward, although some of the increased selling prices were demand driven. Even though market conditions and backlogs remained strong for much of 1995, shipments were flat due to customers' inventory reductions, while improved selling prices were attributable to higher raw material costs and rising demand, although by year-end prices fell slightly.
PART I (con'd.)
The joist business is highly competitive. Due to similarity of product, relatively small price differences are often determinative in placing business. Ability to meet the customer's time requirements for delivery also is important in securing business. Competing successfully becomes more difficult with the distance to point of delivery due to transportation costs. In 1990, selling prices and order rates declined as a result of a weakened construction industry, causing increased competition. The severely depressed activity in the construction industry, due to overbuilding, again in 1991 resulted in drastic declines in selling prices and demand. In spite of depressed conditions, 1992 brought improved shipments due mainly to successful job bidding; however, in order to book a higher percentage of quotations, selling prices consequently suffered. Again in 1993, successful job bidding resulted in improved shipment levels, while higher raw material costs pushed selling prices upward, even though the construction industry remained depressed and highly competitive. In 1994, an easing of competitive conditions within the construction industry led to increased shipment levels, while selling prices were again forced upward by higher raw material costs. Reduced competition and increased activity in 1995 again led to higher shipment levels within the construction industry, as demand and increased raw material costs forced selling prices higher.
Billets are semi-finished products used by the Registrant in its rolling mill process to manufacture various merchant bar products. With the addition of new casting equipment in recent years, the Registrant has anticipated a growing billet market of nonaffiliated customers who further fabricate the billets for various end uses. Competition within the industry caused a drop in selling prices in 1990, with demand slowing. In 1991, selling prices trended further downward, while order rates fell due to the sagging economy. Billet sales improved significantly in 1992 as a result of increased domestic demand and entry into the much more competitive export markets, although selling prices still continued to slump. Again in 1993, increased export business and improved domestic demand resulted in significantly higher billet shipments. Selling prices also rose in reaction to higher scrap steel costs. Shipments of billets declined slightly in 1994 due to a lack of export shipments, although domestic shipments improved significantly. While the export markets
PART I (con'd.)
were much more competitive, domestic demand improved dramatically. Higher billet prices were also driven by higher scrap steel costs, but the increased domestic billet shipments, which bring a higher price, also contributed. Improved market conditions and increased domestic demand resulted in improved 1995 billet shipments, as export markets remained highly competitive. Higher scrap steel costs and improved product mix together caused billet selling prices to climb.
(xi) During the last three fiscal years, the Registrant was not involved in any material research and development activities.
(xii) The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has notified the Registrant and the County of Roanoke (County) of their potential liability and responsibility for costs of response to materials at a County-owned landfill site and adjacent streams near Salem, Virginia. The Registrant has entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the County for response action (cleanup) at the landfill site and the streams. Pursuant to a Consent Decree to which EPA, the County and the Registrant were parties, the County completed a remedial action at the landfill in 1995. Under a separate consent order with EPA, the Registrant is performing a removal action at the streams, which includes removal, treatment and on-site placement of materials and affected sediment and soil. That work is approximately 30% performed, and completion is expected in approximately one year. The Registrant has not received notification of other claims associated with the landfill or streams. The Registrant does not anticipate significant future potential liability for response costs associated with the landfill, and while the cost of future response activities or any future claims associated with the streams is difficult to project, management believes such costs would not have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations and competitive position of the Registrant. See Note 7, "Commitments and Contingent Liabilities", in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Registrant's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders, filed as an Exhibit to this Form 10-K.
PART I (con'd.)
The Registrant currently disposes of the furnace dust through a contract with an approved waste disposal firm. The Registrant believes it is in substantial compliance with applicable federal, state and local regulations. However, future changes in regulations may require expenditures which could adversely affect earnings in subsequent years. The Registrant has constructed over the years pollution control equipment at an aggregate cost of over $7,700,000. Annual operating expenses and depreciation of all pollution control equipment and waste disposal costs are in excess of $4,300,000 in the aggregate. The Registrant is expected to spend approximately $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 for additional pollution control and waste disposal equipment and facilities during subsequent fiscal years. Adoption of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 is not anticipated to have a materially adverse effect on the Registrant's operations, capital resources or liquidity, nor should any incremental increase in capital expenditures occur due to the Act.
(xiii) At October 31, 1995, the Registrant employed 499 persons at its Roanoke plant, with no employment at its Salem division, idle since mid-1991. The Registrant's subsidiaries, John W. Hancock, Jr., Inc., Socar, Inc., Shredded Products Corporation and RESCO Steel Products Corporation employed 259, 259, 47 and 44 persons, respectively.
(d) Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales.
When the Registrant's billet production exceeds its required needs, this semi-finished product is offered for sale. During past years, a portion of the excess billets has been sold to brokers who represent foreign purchasers. During 1993, export (billet) sales to China and Mexico amounted to $4,485,565 and $620,028, respectively, slightly below break-even margins. There were no foreign sales of excess billets or other products during fiscal years 1994 and 1995. The information required by this paragraph by geographical area, as to foreign and domestic operations, is not provided since it is identical to the table in paragraph (b) with all information pertaining to the United States.

ITEM 2.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Registrant owns 68 acres situated in the City of Roanoke, Virginia, which comprises its main plant, of which 25 acres are used to provide 334,000 square feet of manufacturing space with an annual billet capacity of approximately 600,000 tons. A 30 acre site is owned in Salem, Virginia, of which 10 acres were used to provide 51,355 square feet of manufacturing space, until March 1991, when the plant was idled. The Registrant acquired in 1991 a 447 acre tract of land in Franklin County, Virginia, 100 acres of which was transferred to Shredded Products Corporation in a move of shredding operations from its Montvale location. Part of this new Shredded Products property is being used as an approved industrial landfill. The remaining 337 acres of this land, 47 acres of which was sold in 1995, will be marketed as an industrial park for Franklin County.
Shredded Products Corporation operates in both Montvale and Rocky Mount, Virginia. The Montvale plant is situated on a 75 acre site owned by the Registrant, approximately 20 acres of which are regularly used in its scrap processing operation, with an annual production capacity of approximately 18,000 tons. The new Rocky Mount facility is located on a 100 acre site owned by Shredded Products Corporation, partially consisting of a 25 acre industrial landfill used for the disposal of its auto fluff, and another 25 acres of which are regularly used in its shredding operation, with an annual production capacity of approximately 150,000 tons.
John W. Hancock, Jr., Inc. is located in Roanoke County near Salem, Virginia. The plant is situated on a 37 acre site owned by Hancock, Inc., 17 acres of which are regularly used in its operations. Buildings on the site contain 131,614 square feet of floor space.

The various buildings are of modern design, well-maintained, and suitable and adequate for the requirements of the business.
ITEM 3.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
A County of Roanoke (County) landfill site, where the Registrant disposed of furnace dust from 1969 until 1976, was placed on the National Priorities List as a Superfund site in 1989. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has notified the Registrant and the County of their potential liability and responsibility for costs of response at the landfill site and adjacent streams. The Registrant has entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the County for response action (cleanup) at the landfill site and sharing of contribution received from other potentially responsible parties, if any. Under EPA oversight, the County completed remediation action there in 1995. The Registrant's costs associated with that work were reflected in past financial statements or in the accompanying financial statements. Under a consent order and EPA oversight, the Registrant, is implementing a removal action (cleanup) of the streams. While the cost of future response activities or any future claims associated with the streams is difficult to project, management believes such costs would not have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations and competitive position of the Registrant.
