Conventional Wisdom Suggest that Drilling May Decline Temporarily

o        Rig Count could fall by 10% - 15% from current levels.

o        Import penetration will initially rise as consumption decreases and
         them sharply drop.

o        Inventories could decline 5% - 10%.

o        Domestic shipments could fall 15% - 20% impacting the 1st half of 2002
         more severely.

o        Product pricing should hold near current levels.

                                                                              23
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maverick's Fortunes Improve Later in 2002

o        Reduction in consumption focused offshore.

o        Inventory reduction in our products should be over.

o        Import rates will fall sharply.

o        Domestic shipments improve in the 2nd half of 2002.

o        Maverick's new mill growth could offset impact on other products.

                                                                              24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Impact of  Lower Volume and Pricing

o        Maverick's current earnings rate is at $1.68 per share

o        A 5% decrease in U.S. Energy volume will reduce earnings by $0.08 per
         share.

o        A 5% decline in U.S. Energy pricing can take earnings down by $0.17 per
         share.

o        A 5% increase in U.S. steel cost will negatively impact earnings per
         share by $0.06.

                                                                              25
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion

o        Demand for gas picks up due to lower gas prices.

o        Gas production could fall.

o        Supply and demand of gas come into balance.

o        Commodity pricing later in 2002 could support drilling again at 1,250
         rigs.

                                                                              26

Conventional Wisdom Suggest that Drilling May Decline Temporarily

o        Rig Count could fall by 10% - 15% from current levels.

o        Import penetration will initially rise as consumption decreases and
         them sharply drop.

o        Inventories could decline 5% - 10%.

o        Domestic shipments could fall 15% - 20% impacting the 1st half of 2002
         more severely.

o        Product pricing should hold near current levels.

                                                                              23
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maverick's Fortunes Improve Later in 2002

o        Reduction in consumption focused offshore.

o        Inventory reduction in our products should be over.

o        Import rates will fall sharply.

o        Domestic shipments improve in the 2nd half of 2002.

o        Maverick's new mill growth could offset impact on other products.

                                                                              24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Impact of  Lower Volume and Pricing

o        Maverick's current earnings rate is at $1.68 per share

o        A 5% decrease in U.S. Energy volume will reduce earnings by $0.08 per
         share.

o        A 5% decline in U.S. Energy pricing can take earnings down by $0.17 per
         share.

o        A 5% increase in U.S. steel cost will negatively impact earnings per
         share by $0.06.

                                                                              25
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion

o        Demand for gas picks up due to lower gas prices.

o        Gas production could fall.

o        Supply and demand of gas come into balance.

o        Commodity pricing later in 2002 could support drilling again at 1,250
         rigs.

                                                                              26
