We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MICROFLECT
COMPANY, INC., (an Oregon corporation) as of December 31, 1994
and 1993, and the related statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of MICROFLECT COMPANY, INC. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

    ------------------

     warehouses various types of grating products.
     
     INDUSTRIAL FASTENERS:  This division purchases industrial
     fasteners in bulk, and repackages these components for
     resale.  It also purchases and packages a portion of the
     accessory hardware for towers, which are then transferred to
     the microwave business for resale.
     
     ZINC PLATING AND GALVANIZING:  This division provides
     mechanical plating and galvanizing services to Industrial

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


1.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

    Buildings and Equipment
    -----------------------

   Buildings and equipment are valued at cost.  Major additions
   and improvements are capitalized while replacements,
   maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the
   lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred.
   Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over
   the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial
   reporting purposes and on the Accelerated and Modified
   Accelerated Cost Recovery systems, which prescribe rates and
   terms, for income tax purposes.
   
   
   Cash and Cash Equivalents
   -------------------------
   
   For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
   equivalents include cash on hand, checking, savings and money
   market accounts and any highly liquid debt instruments
   purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
   
   
   S Corporation - Income Tax Status
   ---------------------------------
   
   The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected
   under the Internal Revenue Code to be an S Corporation.
   Instead of corporation income taxes, the shareholders of an S
   corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the
   Company's taxable income.  Therefore, no provision or
   liability for Federal income taxes has been included in the
   financial statements.
   
   
   Profit Sharing Plan
   -------------------
   
   The Company sponsors a defined contribution profit sharing
   plan covering substantially all employees.  Employees are
   eligible to participate after completing one year of service.
   Contributions to the plan are based on a percentage of covered
   employees' salaries and determined by management annually.
   Contributions for 194 and 1993 amounted to $781,771 and
   $779,928, respectively.
   
   
   Concentration of Credit Risks for Cash Held at Banks
   ----------------------------------------------------
   
   The Company maintains all of its cash balances at one bank.
   Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
   Corporation up to $100,000.

1.   Condensed Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
     -----------------------------------------------------
The  Merger  with Microflect was accounted for as  a  pooling  of
interests  and,  accordingly the Company's  pro  forma  financial
statements include the accounts and operations of Microflect  for
all  periods presented.  Prior to the combination, Microflect was
a  Subchapter S Corporation and included no federal taxes in  its
financial   statements  since  its  income  was  taxed   at   the
shareholder level.  Microflect made regular cash distributions to
its  shareholders sufficient to meet their tax liabilities.  Upon
termination  of  S-Corporation  status  on  July  31,  1995,  the
undistributed  S-Corporation retained earnings were  reclassified
to   additional   paid-in   capital.   Additionally,   Microflect
established  deferred income taxes for the cumulative differences
in  the timing of reporting certain items for financial statement
and  income tax purposes.  These deferred taxes related primarily
to   depreciation   and   capitalization  costs   of   inventory.
Reclassification  entries  have been  made  to  the  Microflect's
statement  of earnings to conform net sales, cost of goods  sold,
selling, general and administrative expenses and other income  to
Valmont's classifications on its statement of earnings.

The following  adjustments were made on the pro  forma  financial
     statements:

     (a)   Income taxes were recorded to reflect the current and
     deferred taxes.  The tax expense recorded by year follows:

                 1994           1993           1992
