See notes to consolidated financial statements. 3 STEEL DYNAMICS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Steel Dynamics, Inc. (SDI), together with its subsidiaries, including New Millennium Building Systems LLC (NMBS), after elimination of the significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Minority interest represents the minority shareholders' proportionate share in the equity or income of the company's consolidated subsidiaries. During the first quarter of 2003, the company increased its ownership interest in NMBS from 46.6% to 100%. Use of Estimates. These financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, accordingly, include amounts that are based on management's estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and in the notes thereto. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Prior Year Reclassifications. In accordance with the Financial Accounting and Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 145 (FAS 145), "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections," the company has reclassified its extraordinary loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.2 million, recorded in March 2002, as selling, general and administrative expense and the corresponding income tax effect. This reclassification had no effect on net income as previously reported. Stock-Based Compensation. In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148 (FAS 148), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure," which amends FASB Statement No. 123 (FAS 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." FAS 148 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, and gives further guidance regarding methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and regarding disclosure requirements as previously defined in FAS 123. At September 30, 2003, the company had three incentive stock option plans and accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting and Standards Board APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Under APB 25, no stock-based employee compensation cost related to the incentive stock option plans is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123 to its stock-based employee compensation for the respective periods ended September 30 (in thousands, except per share data):

4 STEEL DYNAMICS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 2. Earnings Per Share The company computes and presents earnings per common share in accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes, in addition to the above, the weighted average dilutive effect of common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents represent dilutive stock options and dilutive convertible subordinated debt and are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect. The difference between the company's basic and diluted earnings per share is solely attributable to stock options. The following table presents the common share equivalents that were excluded from the company's dilutive earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive at September 30 (in thousands):
2003 2002 ----------- ----------- Stock options............................................ 624 822 Convertible subordinated debt............................ 6,763 - ----------- ----------- Total anti-dilutive share equivalents............... 7,387 822 =========== ===========
Note 3. Comprehensive Income The following table presents the company's components of comprehensive income, net of related tax, for the respective periods ended September 30 (in thousands):

Note 5. Segment Information The company has two reportable segments: steel operations and steel scrap substitute operations. The steel operations segment includes the company's Flat Roll Division, Structural and Rail Division, and Bar Products Division. The Flat Roll Division sells a broad range of hot-rolled, cold-rolled and coated steel products, including a large variety of specialty products such as thinner gauge hot-rolled products and galvanized products. The Flat Roll Division sells directly to end-users and service centers, including Heidtman, located primarily in the Midwestern United States and these products are used in numerous industry sectors, including the automotive, construction and commercial industries. The company began significant construction of its Structural and Rail Division in May 2001, with structural steel production commencing in the third quarter of 2002. Initial trials to produce rail commenced in late October 2003. This facility produces and sells structural steel beams, pilings, and other steel components directly to end-users and service centers for the construction, transportation and industrial machinery markets. This facility is also designed to produce and sell a variety of standard and premium-grade rail for the railroad industry. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the company anticipates supplying standard rail to potential rail customers to begin the evaluation process. On September 9, 2002, the company purchased the special bar quality mini-mill assets of Qualitech Steel SBQ, LLC. The company plans to convert the facility to the production of merchant bars and shapes and reinforcing bar products, while retaining the ability to produce special bar quality steel. The facility's anticipated annual production capacity is between 500,000 and 600,000 tons. The company anticipates initial production will begin during the first quarter of 2004 and anticipates marketing the bar products directly to end-users and to service centers for the construction, transportation and industrial machinery markets. 5 STEEL DYNAMICS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Steel scrap substitute operations include the revenues and expenses associated with the company's wholly owned subsidiary, Iron Dynamics. From the time operations were halted in 2001 through the fourth quarter of 2002, the costs incurred at IDI were composed of those expenses required to maintain the facility and further evaluate the project and its related benefits. During the fourth quarter of 2002, IDI successfully completed certain operating trials which may significantly reduce the eventual per-unit cost of liquid pig iron production. Additional modifications and refinements required to implement this modified production process have been substantially completed. The company is in the process of restarting IDI and anticipates a limited amount of liquid pig iron to be produced during the fourth quarter of 2003. Revenues included in the category "All Other" are from two subsidiary operations that are below the quantitative thresholds required for reportable segments. These revenues are from the fabrication of trusses, girders, steel joists and steel decking for the non-residential construction industry; from the further processing, or slitting, and sale of certain steel products; and from the resale of certain secondary and excess steel products. In addition, "All Other" also includes certain unallocated corporate accounts, such as the company's senior secured credit facilities, senior unsecured notes, convertible subordinated notes and certain other investments. The company's operations are primarily organized and managed by operating segment. Operating segment performance and resource allocations are primarily based on operating results before income taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are consistent with those described in Note 1 to the financial statements. Certain amounts in 2002 have been reclassified as a result of the company's compliance with FAS 145 as discussed in Note 1. Intersegment sales and any related profits are eliminated in consolidation. The external net sales of the company's steel operations include sales to non-U.S. companies of $7.4 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $60.1 million and $6.7 million for nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The company's segment results are as follows (in thousands):

9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Forward-Looking Statements Statements made in this report that are not statements of historical fact are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statements that may project, indicate or imply future results, events, performance or achievements. We refer you, however, to the section denominated "Forward-Looking Statements" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, which we incorporate herein by reference, for a more detailed discussion of some of the many factors, variables, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those we may have expected or anticipated. We caution that any forward-looking statement reflects only our reasonable belief at the time the statement is made. Income Statement Classification Net Sales. Our total net sales are a factor of net tons shipped, product mix and related pricing. Our net sales are determined by subtracting product returns, sales discounts, return allowances and claims from total sales. We charge premium prices for certain grades of steel, dimensions of product, or certain smaller volumes, based on our cost of production. We also charge marginally higher prices for our value-added products from our cold mill. These products include hot-rolled and cold-rolled galvanized products and cold-rolled products. Cost of Goods Sold. Our cost of goods sold represents all direct and indirect costs associated with the manufacture of our products. The principal elements of these costs are steel scrap and scrap substitutes, alloys, natural gas, argon, direct and indirect labor benefits, electricity, oxygen, electrodes, depreciation and freight. Our metallic raw materials, steel scrap and scrap substitutes, represent the most significant component of our cost of goods sold. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of all costs associated with our sales, finance and accounting, materials and transportation, and administrative departments. These costs include labor and benefits, professional services, financing cost amortization, property taxes, profit-sharing expense and start-up costs associated with new projects. Interest Expense. Interest expense consists of interest associated with our senior credit facilities and other debt agreements as described in the notes to our financial statements set forth in our most recent Form 10-K, net of capitalized interest costs that are related to construction expenditures during the construction period of capital projects. Other (Income) Expense. Other income consists of interest income earned on our cash balances and any other non-operating income activity, including insurance proceeds from litigation efforts. Other expense consists of any non-operating costs, including permanent impairments of reported investments and settlement costs from litigation efforts. Consolidated Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Net Sales. Our net sales were $254.0 million, with total shipments of 745,000 net tons during the third quarter of 2003, as compared to net sales of $240.7 million, with total shipments of 598,000 net tons during the third quarter of 2002, an increase in net sales of $13.3 million, or 6%, and an increase in total shipments of 147,000 net tons, or 25%. During the first six months of 2003, prices of domestic flat-rolled steel, which accounted for 85% of our consolidated net sales during that period, softened from peaks achieved during the fourth quarter of 2002, and we experienced a slight increase during the third quarter of 2003. In comparison to the second quarter of 2003, our average consolidated selling price per ton increased $6, or 2%, during the third quarter of 2003. However, in comparison to the peak of $403 per ton achieved in the fourth quarter of 2002, our third quarter 2003 average consolidated selling price per ton decreased approximately $62, or 15%, to $341 per ton. We believe this weakened steel market was primarily caused by the weakened United States economy which severely depressed the domestic commercial construction industry. We are cautiously optimistic, however, that with a domestic economic recovery, pricing and order levels will increase during the fourth quarter of 2003. We have already experienced a strengthening in our flat-rolled steel and structural steel pricing and order levels. 10 Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold was $215.1 million during the third quarter of 2003, as compared to $167.9 million during the third quarter of 2002, an increase of $47.2 million, or 28%, which was primarily due to a 25% increase in steel operation shipments and increases in metallic raw materials costs. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold represented approximately 85% and 70% during the third quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Our metallic raw materials represented 51% of our cost of goods sold during the third quarter of 2003 and 2002. Our average consolidated metallic raw material cost per net ton charged was $11, or 10%, higher during the third quarter of 2003 than during the same period in 2002 and $7 per ton, or 5%, higher when compared to the first six months of 2003. We anticipate a further increase in our metallic raw materials costs during the fourth quarter of 2003 due to increased demand of scrap resources. During 2002, our gross margin strengthened from the severely depressed levels experienced during the weak steel markets of 2001. Our average product pricing increased by a greater degree than our average metallic raw material costs and we realized greater operating efficiencies through increased production. Our gross margin percentage was 15% during the third quarter of 2003, and a decrease of 15% from our peak of 30% achieved during the third and fourth quarters of 2002. This decrease was the result of further decreased selling values of primarily flat-rolled steel products experienced during the second quarter of 2003 and increasing metallic raw materials costs. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $16.0 million during the third quarter of 2003, as compared to $15.7 million during the same period in 2002, an increase of 331,000, or 2%. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses represented approximately 6% and 7% during the third quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Interest Expense. Interest expense was $8.3 million during the third quarter of 2003, as compared to $10.6 million during the third quarter of 2002, a decrease of 2.3 million, or 22%. During the third quarter of 2003, gross interest expense decreased 7% to $10.3 million and capitalized interest increased approximately $1.6 million to $2.1 million, as compared to the same period in 2002. During August of 2003, we received an amendment from our senior secured lending group to decrease the pricing of our Term Loan B facility from LIBOR plus 375 basis points to LIBOR plus 300 basis points. The interest capitalization that occurred during the third quarter of 2003 primarily resulted from the interest required to be capitalized with respect to construction activities at our Bar Products Division and Structural and Rail Division. Other (Income) Expense. Other income was $112,000 during the third quarter of 2003, as compared to $113,000 during the third quarter of 2002, primarily representing interest income earned on cash balances. Income Taxes. During the third quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively, our income tax provision was $5.5 million and $17.5 million and our effective tax rate was 37.5%. During 2001, we recorded a $1.9 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to foreign tax credits that may not be fully realized. This allowance is still outstanding at September 30, 2003. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Net Sales. Our net sales were $708.1 million, with total shipments of 2.0 million net tons during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to net sales of $621.3 million, with total shipments of 1.8 million net tons during the same period of 2002, an increase in net sales of $86.8 million, or 14%, and an increase in total shipments of 258,000 net tons, or 14%. In comparison to the first nine months of 2002, our average consolidated selling price per ton remained relatively flat during the first nine months of 2003. Sales of domestic flat-rolled steel accounted for approximately 82% and 95% of our net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold was $587.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to $468.2 million during the same period of 2002, an increase of $119.6 million, or 26%. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold represented approximately 83% and 75% during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Metallic raw materials was the largest single component of our cost of goods sold, representing 52% and 46% of these costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Our average consolidated metallic raw material cost per net ton charged was $20, or 19%, higher during this period of 2003 than during the same period in 2002. The increasing cost of our metallic raw materials was the primary driver of the reduction in our gross margin to 17% during the first nine months of 2003 compared to 25% in the same period of 2002. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $45.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to $51.8 million during the same period in 2002, a decrease of $6.1 million, or 12%. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses represented approximately 6% and 8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Approximately $3.9 million of this decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was related to the decrease in expenses classified as start-up costs which were associated with our Structural and Rail Division and were included in selling, general and administrative expenses rather than cost of goods sold until commercial operations commenced during the third quarter of 2002. In addition, in accordance with FAS 145, we also reclassified $3.2 million of extraordinary loss from the extinguishment of debt recorded in the first quarter of 2002, as selling, general and administrative expense. This reclassification had no effect on net income as previously reported. Interest Expense. Interest expense was $26.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to $19.9 million during the same period of 2002, an increase of $6.5 million, or 33%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, gross interest expense increased 3% to $31.6 million and capitalized interest decreased 51% to $5.3 million, as compared to the same period in 2002. The increase in our gross interest expense, despite the slight decrease in our total debt, was due to an increase in our average interest rate caused by the March 2002 refinancing, in which we accessed traditionally higher-priced public debt markets. The decrease in our capitalized interest resulted from the reduction of interest required to be capitalized with respect to our Structural and Rail Division since construction was substantially complete at June 30, 2002. As we increase our construction activities at our Bar Products Division during the remainder of 2003 and into the first quarter of 2004, we anticipate increased levels of capitalized interest. 11 Other (Income) Expense. Other income was $362,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, and other expense was $3.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of $4.3 million, resulting from a $4.5 million settlement cost recorded in the first quarter of 2002 for the final remaining lawsuit associated with the Nakornthai Strip Mill Public Co. Limited litigation. Income Taxes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, our income tax provision was $18.2 million and $29.1 million, and our effective tax rate was 37.5%. During 2001, we recorded a $1.9 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to foreign tax credits that may not be fully realized. This allowance is still outstanding at September 30, 2003. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our business is capital intensive and requires substantial expenditures for, among other things, the purchase and maintenance of equipment used in our steelmaking and finishing operations and to remain in compliance with environmental laws. Our short-term and long-term liquidity needs arise primarily from capital expenditures, working capital requirements and principal and interest payments related to our outstanding indebtedness. We have met these liquidity requirements with cash provided by operations, equity, long-term borrowings, state and local grants and capital cost reimbursements. Cash Flows. Our cash flows from operating activities primarily result from sales of flat-rolled and structural steel products, and to a lesser extent, from revenues related to the fabrication of various steel products for the non-residential construction industry. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, cash provided by operating activities was $97.8 million, as compared to $109.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of $11.3 million, or 10%. This decrease was primarily driven by reduced earnings caused by comparatively higher scrap costs and weaker flat rolled product pricing. Cash used in investing activities, which primarily represented capital investments, was $98.3 million and $125.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During 2003, we purchased the remaining 54% minority-owned interest of New Millennium Building Systems for $8.3 million, and we purchased a galvanizing facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana, for approximately $19.0 million. In addition, we expended $17.2 million in connection with the completion of our Structural and Rail Division, $17.4 million in connection with our Bar Products Division and $21.6 million in connection with the addition of a coil-coating facility at our Flat Roll Division. Cash used in financing activities was $2.2 million and $38.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in funds due to financing activities during 2002 was the result of our change in capital structure after the first quarter refinancing activities and the result of a decrease in debt associated with Iron Dynamics due to an agreement with the Iron Dynamics lenders to extinguish the debt under the Iron Dynamics credit agreement at the end of March 2002. On January 28, 2002, we entered into an agreement with the Iron Dynamics lenders to extinguish the debt under the Iron Dynamics credit agreement at the end of March 2002. We complied with each of the settlement requirements, thus constituting full and final settlement of all of Iron Dynamics' obligations and our guarantees under the IDI credit agreement, causing the IDI credit agreement to terminate. In meeting the requirements of the settlement agreement, we paid $15.0 million in cash and issued an aggregate of $22.0 million, or 1.5 million shares of our common stock during March 2002. In addition, if IDI resumes operations by January 27, 2007, and generates positive cash flow (as defined in the settlement agreement), we are required to make contingent future payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $22.0 million. Liquidity. We believe the principal indicators of our liquidity are our cash position, remaining availability under our bank credit facilities and excess working capital. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, our cash position decreased $2.6 million to $21.6 million and our working capital position increased $1.1 million to $198.4 million, as compared to December 31, 2002. As of September 30, 2003, $75.0 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility remained undrawn and available. Our ability to draw down the revolver is dependent upon continued compliance with the financial covenants and other covenants contained in our senior secured credit agreement. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and reduce our total debt will depend upon our future performance, which in turn, will depend upon general economic, financial and business conditions, along with competition, legislation and regulation, factors that are largely beyond our control. In addition, we cannot assure you that our operating results, cash flow and capital resources will be sufficient for repayment of our indebtedness in the future. We believe that based upon current levels of operations and anticipated growth, cash flow from operations, together with other available sources of funds, including additional borrowings under our senior secured credit agreement, will be adequate for the next twelve months for making required payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness and for funding anticipated capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We assess our capital spending at least quarterly and reevaluate our requirements based upon, among other things, our current and expected operating results. We anticipate our fiscal 2003 capital requirements to be approximately $134 million, of which $90 million was expended during the first nine months of 2003, and the remaining $44 million is expected to be spent as follows: o approximately $29 million at our Bar Products Division to broaden its operational capabilities to include the production of merchant shapes and reinforcing bars, as well as retain its ability to produce special-bar-quality products; o approximately $5 million at our Flat Roll Division, primarily for the completion of an on-site coil-coating facility, commencing production in November 2003; 13 o approximately $6 million at our Structural and Rail Division, primarily to allow for rail production & welding; and o approximately $4 million at our Iron Dynamics facility for its completion. Other Matters Inflation. We believe that inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations. Environmental and Other Contingencies. We have incurred, and in the future will continue to incur, capital expenditures and operating expenses for matters relating to environmental control, remediation, monitoring and compliance. We believe, apart from our dependence on environmental construction and operating permits for our existing and proposed manufacturing facilities, that compliance with current environmental laws and regulations is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity; however, environmental laws and regulations have changed rapidly in recent years and we may become subject to more stringent environmental laws and regulations in the future. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market Risk. In the normal course of business our market risk is limited to changes in interest rates. We utilize long-term debt as a primary source of capital. A portion of our debt has an interest component that resets on a periodic basis to reflect current market conditions. We manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through the use of interest rate swaps. We agree to exchange, at specific intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts calculated on an agreed upon notional amount. This interest differential paid or received is recognized in the consolidated statements of income as a component of interest expense. At September 30, 2003, no material changes had occurred related to our interest rate risk from the information disclosed in the Annual Report of Steel Dynamics, Inc. and on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Disclosure Controls and Procedures. With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 13 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
