Note 6.  Business Combinations

On January 12, 1999,  the Company  acquired  substantially  all of the assets of
Roxell N.V.  (Roxell).  Based in Maldegem,  Belgium,  Roxell is a leading global
manufacturer and marketer of automated feeding and watering systems,  as well as
feed storage  bins for the poultry and swine  production  markets.  The purchase
price of  $33.9  million,  net of cash  acquired  and  including  expenses,  was
financed through German Mark denominated  borrowings under the Company's amended
credit facility.

The  acquisition  was  accounted  for under the purchase  method of  accounting.
Accordingly,  the purchase price has been  allocated to the acquired  assets and
liabilities based on their fair market values as of the date of acquisition with
the remainder  charged to goodwill which is being  amortized on a  straight-line
basis over 40 years. Roxell's financial statements subsequent to the acquisition
are consolidated and included in the Company's  Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
June 30, 1999 and the Consolidated  Statement of Income for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 1999 and Consolidated  Statement of Cash Flows for the
six months  ended June 30,  1999.  The  purchase  price has been  allocated on a
preliminary  basis,  pending  final  determination  of the  valuation of certain
acquired assets and liabilities, as follows:

Note 7.  Commitments and Contingencies

There are  various  claims and  pending  legal  proceedings  against the Company
involving  matters  arising out of the ordinary  conduct of business.  While the
Company is unable to predict with certainty the outcome of current  proceedings,
based upon the facts  currently  known to it, the Company  does not believe that
resolution  of these  proceedings  will have a  material  adverse  effect on its
financial statements.

Pursuant to the Stock  Purchase  Agreement,  the Company  agreed to make certain
contingent  payments to the  Predecessor  Company  stockholders  (the  "Earn-Out
Amount") based on a calculation of cumulative  Earnings Before Interest,  Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") calculated in accordance with the Stock
Purchase  Agreement.  The Earn-Out  Amount was  determined  based on  cumulative
EBITDA for the three-year period ended December 31, 1998.

The Company is obligated to pay the Earn-Out Amount in three  installments.  The
first  installment  of $3,520,  which was equal to 50.0% of the actual  Earn-Out
Amount was paid in April. The second  installment,  equal to 25.0% of the actual
Earn-Out  Amount  ,  was  completed  on  July  1,  1999.  The  third  and  final
installment,  equal to 25.0% of the actual Earn-Out Amount is payable on January
1, 2000.  Interest  accrues at the prime rate, which increased to 8.0% effective
July 1, 1999 from 7.75%.

The Sibley purchase  agreement includes an Earn-Out provision which requires the
Company to pay up to an additional  $1.2 million over four years should  certain
sales  targets be met. On March 31, 1999,  $274,000 of the  contingent  purchase
price was paid for amounts earned for 1998.

Note 8.  Treasury Stock

At June 30, 1999 treasury stock consisted of 902,813 shares acquired, 225,000 of
which were purchased at a cost of $1,684,000  during the six month period ending
June 30, 1999. To date, 1,211,068 of the 1,500,000 shares authorized in 1997 and
1998 have been repurchased,  with 308,255 being reissued. The shares repurchased
are  accounted  for under the cost method and reported as  "Treasury  Stock" and
result in a  reduction  of  "Stockholders'  Equity."  When  treasury  shares are
reissued,  the Company  uses a  first-in,  first-out  method and the  difference
between  repurchase cost and the reissuance price is treated as an adjustment to
"Additional Paid-in Capital."

Note 9.  Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive  income for the three and six months ended March 31, 1999 and June
30,  1999 was $3.1  million  and $2.2  million.  Net income was  adjusted by the
change in the  cumulative  translation  adjustment  to  arrive at  comprehensive
income.

Note 10.  New Accounting Pronouncement

Effective June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement
of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  133,   "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments  and Hedging  Activities"  (SFAS 133).  This  statement  establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts  (collectively referred to as
derivatives),  and for hedging activities.  It requires that an entity recognize
all  derivatives  as either assets or  liabilities in the statement of financial
position  and  measure  those  instruments  at fair  value.  This  statement  is
effective  for  the  Company's  fiscal  year  beginning  2001.  The  Company  is
evaluating  SFAS 133 to  determine  its  impact  on the  consolidated  financial
statements.

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


For a full  understanding  of the  Company's  financial  condition,  results  of
operations,  and cash flows,  this commentary should be read in conjunction with
the Company's  Securities and Exchange  Commission filings,  including,  but not
limited to the Company's  Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1998
which includes the Company's annual audited financial statements.

Results of Operations

The Company is a designer,  manufacturer and marketer of agricultural  equipment
for the poultry, swine and egg production markets and grain storage and handling
market.  The Company  markets its products on a worldwide  basis primarily under
the  CHORE-TIME(R),  BROCK(R),  FANCOM(R),  SIBLEY(TM),  STACO(R) and  ROXELL(R)
names.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 1998

Net sales  increased  8.2% to $76.3  million for the three months ended June 30,
1999 compared to $70.5 million in the  corresponding  period of 1998.  The sales
growth resulted  primarily from the acquisitions of Roxell N.V. in early January
1999 and Sibley  Industries,  Inc.  and STACO,  Inc. in the second half of 1998.
Additionally,  there  was  ongoing  strength  in the egg  production  and  grain
markets.  These factors were offset somewhat by $8.0 million lower revenues from
the C.P. project poultry  buildings,  year over year,  continued weakness in the
swine business worldwide,  and softness in various international markets as well
as a slight weakening in the domestic poultry business.

Gross profit increased 41.0% to $20.4 million in the three months ended June 30,
1999 or 26.8% of net sales compared to $14.5 million in the corresponding period
of 1998  or  20.6%  of net  sales.  The  gross  profit  margin  increase  of 6.2
percentage  points was  attributable  to reduced sales on  essentially no margin
poultry  buildings,   which  are  now  substantially   completed,   recovery  of
manufacturing  efficiencies  as the  majority  of  issues  related  to the  1998
implementation  of the fully  integrated  enterprise  resource  system have been
resolved as well as improvements in operational  efficiency made in 1999, offset
slightly by further  weakening in the  worldwide hog market in which the Company
has traditionally sold higher margin products.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased 44.1% or $3.6 million to
$11.7  million in the three  months ended June 30, 1999 from $8.1 million in the
corresponding  period of 1998. As a percent of net sales,  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  were 15.3% in the three months ended June 30, 1999 and
11.5% in the  corresponding  period of 1998.  The dollar  increase is  primarily
attributable to the  acquisitions of Roxell N.V.,  Sibley  Industries,  Inc. and
STACO,  Inc.,  increased  profit  sharing and bonus  expenses as a result of the
improved  performance  in the three  months  ended  June 30,  1999 and  targeted
investments  in  certain  key  areas  within  the  Company.  The  increase  as a
percentage   of  net  sales  was   primarily   attributed  to  the  accrual  for
performance-based  payments and the  acquisitions.  The acquired  companies have
historically  had  higher  selling,   general  and  administrative  costs  as  a
percentage of sales.

Amortization  of goodwill  increased  to $0.6  million in the three months ended
June 30, 1999 or 41.8% from $0.4 million in the  corresponding  period for 1998.
The increase is  attributable  to the  amortization  of goodwill  related to the
acquisitions of Roxell N.V., Sibley Industries, Inc. and STACO, Inc.

<PAGE>

Operating  income  increased  36.7% or $2.2 million to $8.1 million in the three
months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $5.9 million in the corresponding  period
of 1998.  Operating income margins  increased to 10.6% of net sales in the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from 8.4% of net sales in the corresponding period of
1998. The increase in operating  income was a result of additional  gross profit
which was offset  somewhat by  increased  selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses and amortization of goodwill.  The increase in operating income margins
is due to the improvement in gross profit margins,  offset to some extent by the
increase in selling,  general and administrative  expenses as a percent of sales
and the increase in amortization expense, as discussed above.

Interest  expense  increased  to $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30,
1999 or 86.0%  from  $1.0  million  in the  corresponding  period  in 1998.  The
increase  is due  primarily  to  additional  debt as a result of the  borrowings
incurred to finance the acquisitions of Roxell N.V., Sibley Industries, Inc. and
STACO,  Inc.,  purchases  of treasury  stock  during the second half of 1998 and
first quarter of 1999 and carrying costs related to the C.P. project.

Other  expense in 1998  included a loss from a joint venture which did not occur
in 1999, decreasing this item by $0.1 million.

Net income  increased  30.6% or $0.9 million to $3.8 million in the three months
ended June 30, 1999 from $2.9 million for the corresponding  period of 1998. The
increase was primarily due to higher operating income,  offset to some extent by
increased interest costs and income taxes.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

Net sales  increased  16.1% to $136.2  million for the six months ended June 30,
1999 compared to $117.2 million in the  corresponding  period of 1998. The sales
growth resulted  primarily from the acquisitions of Roxell N.V. in early January
1999 and Sibley Industries,  Inc. and STACO, Inc. in the second half of 1998 and
strength in the egg and grain  production  markets.  These  factors  were offset
somewhat by $7.0 million lower revenues from the C.P. project poultry buildings,
as well as weakness in the swine  business  worldwide,  and  softness in various
international markets.

Gross profit  increased  34.5% to $34.4 million in the six months ended June 30,
1999 or 25.2% of net sales compared to $25.5 million in the corresponding period
of 1998  or  21.8%  of net  sales.  The  gross  profit  margin  increase  of 3.4
percentage  points was  attributable  to reduced sales on  essentially no margin
poultry buildings, which are substantially completed,  recovery of manufacturing
efficiencies as the majority of the issues related to the 1998 implementation of
the fully  integrated  enterprise  resource system have been resolved as well as
improvements in operational  efficiency made in 1999, offset slightly by further
weakening  in the  worldwide  hog market in which the Company has  traditionally
sold higher margin products.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased 40.5% or $6.3 million to
$22.0  million in the six months  ended June 30, 1999 from $15.6  million in the
corresponding  period of 1998. As a percent of net sales,  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  were 16.1% in the six months  ended June 30,  1999 and
13.3% in the  corresponding  period of 1998.  The dollar  increase is  primarily
attributable to the  acquisitions of Roxell N.V.,  Sibley  Industries,  Inc. and
STACO,  Inc. and targeted  investments  in certain key areas within the Company.
The  increase  as a  percentage  of net sales was  primarily  attributed  to the
acquisitions.  The acquired  companies  have  historically  had higher  selling,
general and administrative costs as a percentage of sales.

Amortization of goodwill  increased to $1.3 million in the six months ended June
30, 1999 or 43.8% from $0.9 million in the  corresponding  period for 1998.  The
increase  is  attributable  to  the  amortization  of  goodwill  related  to the
acquisitions of Roxell N.V., Sibley Industries, Inc. and STACO, Inc.

<PAGE>

Operating  income  increased  23.2% or $2.1 million to $11.1  million in the six
months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $9.0 million in the corresponding  period
of 1998.  Operating  income  margins  increased  to 8.2% of net sales in the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from 7.7% of net sales in the corresponding period of
1998. The increase in operating  income was a result of additional  gross profit
which was  somewhat  offset by  increased  selling,  general and  administrative
expenses and amortization of goodwill.  The increase in operating income margins
is due to the improved  gross profit  margins offset to some extent by increases
in selling,  general and  administrative  expenses as a percent of sales and the
increase in amortization expense, as discussed above.

Interest expense increased to $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999
or 77.0% from $1.9 million in the corresponding  period in 1998. The increase is
due  primarily  to  additional  debt as a result of the  borrowings  incurred to
finance the  acquisitions  of Roxell N.V.,  Sibley  Industries,  Inc. and STACO,
Inc.,  purchases  of  treasury  stock  during the second  half of 1998 and first
quarter of 1999, and carrying costs related to the C.P. project.

Other  expense  increased by $0.9 million  from 1998 levels  primarily  from the
impact  of  a  $1.0   million   non-cash   foreign   exchange   loss  from  U.S.
dollar-denominated  intercompany debt. This charge was primarily a result of the
devaluation of the Brazilian currency versus the U.S. dollar.

Net income  decreased  3.9% or $0.2  million  to $4.1  million in the six months
ended June 30, 1999 from $4.3 million for the corresponding  period of 1998. The
decrease was  attributable  to improved  operating  income,  offset by increased
interest expense and other expense as discussed above.

Financial Position

Changes in the financial  position of the Company from December 31, 1998 to June
30, 1999 were due primarily to business acquisitions and operational changes.

Total  assets  increased  from  $195.1  million at  December  31, 1998 to $239.4
million at June 30,  1999 due in large part to the  acquisition  of Roxell  N.V.
Accounts  receivable  increased by $10.7  million from December 31, 1998 to June
30, 1999 with $6.1  million of  receivables  being  purchased in the Roxell N.V.
acquisition and seasonal  business  activity adding to the increased  levels. At
June 30, 1999,  construction costs in excess of billings were $0.2 million, down
by $4.9 million from year end as the poultry building  projects near completion.
Inventories  at June 30, 1999  increased by $6.6 million from December 31, 1998.
The increase was  primarily due to seasonally  higher  business  levels and $3.6
million from the Roxell N.V.  acquisition.  Net  property,  plant and  equipment
increased $7.3 million from December 31, 1998 to June 30, 1999. The net increase
was due primarily to the Roxell N.V. acquisition and recent capital expenditures
net of  depreciation.  Intangibles  increased by $21.2 million from December 31,
1998 to June  30,  1999  due to the  addition  of  goodwill  resulting  from the
preliminary purchase price allocation from the Roxell N.V. acquisition.

Total  liabilities  increased  $43.8 million from $118.3 million at December 31,
1998 to  $162.1 at June 30,  1999.  Accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities
increased  $12.1 million during this period,  primarily from the  acquisition of
Roxell  N.V.  Long-term  debt  increased  $36.2  million  from $69.7  million at
December 31, 1998 to $105.9 million at June 30, 1999 primarily due to borrowings
incurred to finance the Roxell N.V. acquisition,  revolver borrowings to support
seasonal operational needs and treasury stock purchases. The Accrued Earn-Out as
of June 30, 1999 has been classified as current.

Total  stockholders'  equity  increased  $0.5  million due to net income for the
period  partially  offset by treasury stock  purchases and changes in cumulative
translation adjustment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30,  1999,  the  Company  had $49.6  million of working  capital,  an
increase of $8.7 million from  working  capital of $40.9  million as of December
31, 1998. Net cash provided from  operating  activities for the six months ended
June 30,  1999 was $6.4  million.  Cash  flows  from  operations  was  primarily
provided by operating  activities,  offset somewhat by working capital  changes.
Net cash used for  operating  activities  for the six months ended June 30, 1998
was $9.6 million, driven primarily by working capital changes.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999,  cash used in investing  activities  was
$39.1  million,  which  was  used  primarily  for  purchase  of  assets  and the
acquisition of Roxell N.V. For the six months ended June 30, 1998,  cash used in
investing activities was $3.7 million, which was used for acquisitions of assets
and an investment in a joint venture, partially offset by the sale of assets.

For the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999,  net cash  provided  from  financing
activities was $36.9  million.  During this period there was a net $38.6 million
increase in cash flows from  revolver  activity  offset by a $1.7 million use of
cash for treasury stock purchases. Cash provided by financing activities for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 was $13.2 million resulting from $15.1 million in
net  cash  from  revolver  activity  offset  by a $1.9  million  use of cash for
treasury stock purchases.

The  Company  believes  that  existing  cash,  cash  flows from  operations  and
available borrowings will be sufficient to support its working capital,  capital
expenditures and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future.

Seasonality

Sales of  agricultural  equipment  are  seasonal,  with  poultry,  swine and egg
producers  purchasing equipment during prime construction periods in the spring,
summer and fall and farmers  traditionally  purchasing grain storage bins in the
summer and fall in  conjunction  with the harvesting  season.  The Company's net
sales and net income have  historically  been lower  during the first and fourth
fiscal quarters as compared to the second and third quarters as distributors and
dealers increase inventory in anticipation of seasonal demand.

The following table presents unaudited interim operating results of the Company.
The Company  believes that the following  information  includes all  adjustments
(consisting only of normal,  recurring  adjustments)  that the Company considers
necessary for a fair  presentation  for the  respective  periods.  The operating
results for any interim  period are not  necessarily  indicative  of results for
this or any other interim period or the entire fiscal year.

Year 2000 Compliance

The "Year 2000  (Y2K)  Issue"  refers to the  inability  of  certain  computers,
information  systems and  microprocessors  to recognize  and process the century
designation in data fields causing potential  improper  information  processing,
invalid  calculations,  erroneous  reporting,  or at worst,  system or equipment
failures which could have a materially adverse impact on the Company.  This is a
Year 2000 Readiness  Disclosure  under the Year 2000  Information  and Readiness
Disclosure Act.

State of Readiness

The  Company  has  assessed  the  impact of the Year 2000  with  respect  to its
information  technology (IT) systems and non-IT systems and equipment as well as
its  potential   exposure  to  significant   third-party  risks.  The  Company's
methodology  includes;   (i)  the  identification  of  systems,   equipment  and
third-party  relationships;  (ii) assessment of Y2K compliance issues related to
systems,  equipment  and third  parties;  (iii)  correction  and  testing;  (iv)
documentation  of  findings/corrective  actions;  and (v) contingency  planning.
Accordingly,  the Company has  initiated  a plan to confirm  Y2K  compliance  or
replace/modify  existing  systems and equipment as required and to assure itself
that critical third parties are also addressing the issue.

With respect to IT systems,  the Company has completed an assessment of its four
major systems (including the business system at Roxell N.V.) and determined that
they will not present significant problems in Y2K compliance.  The major systems
have all been installed within the past 36 months (three of the systems in 1998)
and have been  certified as  substantially  Y2K  compliant.  These  systems were
installed  in response to the need for  integrated  systems  providing  improved
management   information   and  not  for  compliance   with  Y2K.   Testing  and
documentation have been completed.

Assessment of non-major IT systems and equipment,  including  related  software,
has been completed.  Correction,  testing and  documentation  are expected to be
substantially  completed by September 30, 1999  (previously  June 30, 1999). The
Company will continue to test and correct as necessary the Company's  individual
personal computers for Y2K compliance throughout the remainder of 1999.

Major non-IT equipment,  which is primarily  manufacturing  equipment,  has been
identified, assessed and tested in the United States with the determination that
the equipment does not employ  microprocessors  with date sensitive  operations,
and thus does not pose a Y2K issue.  Non-IT equipment  outside the United States
was also assessed, tested and completed.

The Company has identified major and/or critical  third-party  relationships and
has  substantially  completed a survey and assessment of third-party  readiness.
Based upon the responses, additional follow up will be performed. The results of
this  assessment are a major factor  considered in the  contingency  plans being
developed.  However,  there  can be no  guarantee  that  the  systems  of  other
companies  on which the  Company's  systems  rely will be  converted in a timely
manner or that the  failure  to  convert  by  another  company  would not have a
materially adverse effect on the Company.

Cost of Year 2000 Issue

As of June 30, 1999, the Company has incurred costs of  approximately  $ 150,000
in year 2000  compliance.  The Company  estimates  the future cost of Y2K not to
exceed $200,000.

<PAGE>

Risks of Year 2000 Issue

The Company has  substantially  completed its assessment of the most  reasonably
likely worst case Y2K scenario.  Given the Company's efforts to minimize the Y2K
failure of its internal systems and the limited concern of its non-IT equipment,
the  Company  believes  the worst case  scenario  would occur if its primary raw
material suppliers or its electricity  suppliers  experience a Y2K failure which
results in the Company's inability to receive critical raw material or to suffer
a power outage.

While  contingency  plans have not yet been finalized,  the  identification  and
development of an expanded supplier base and procurement of some safety stock is
under review.  A power outage requires the Company to assess the likely duration
of the failure and the  availability  of possible  alternative  power sources to
enable the continuation of production.

Contingency Plans

Because not all  occurrences  of Y2K failure can be  projected,  anticipated  or
controlled,  the  Company  is  developing  contingency  plans  that will  enable
production  to  continue.  Contingency  plans are  expected to be  completed  by
September  30, 1999  (previously,  June 30, 1999).  As the Company  develops its
contingency  plans,  the costs  associated  with those plans  (i.e.  significant
inventory  stockpiling or the arrangement of alternative  power sources) will be
assessed  vis-a-vis the cost of the most reasonably  likely worst case scenario.
Consequently,  the  contingency  plan  costs  and  certain  mitigating  factors,
including  seasonally lower first quarter business sales and production  levels,
may not warrant the full implementation of the plans.

Note to Company's Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

The costs and dates on which the Company  intends to complete  its Y2K  analysis
and correction are based on management's  best  estimates.  These estimates were
derived utilizing numerous  assumptions of future events and the availability of
resources.  However,  there can be no  guarantee  that these  estimates  will be
achieved,  and actual results could differ materially from those plans.  Factors
that might cause such material  differences include, but are not limited to, the
availability  and cost of  alternative  suppliers  should they be required,  the
retention of personnel or the  availability of new personnel  competent with Y2K
issues,  the ability to locate and  correct all  relevant  computer  codes,  and
similar uncertainties.

It is  currently  unknown  which  problems  the Company will face for partial or
complete non-compliance because it could depend on numerous factors (such as the
nature of the  problem and how quickly it could be  corrected).  At worst,  such
problems could have a materially adverse impact on the Company.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain  statements  contained  herein  including,   without  limitation,  those
regarding (i) ability to support future working capital needs,  (ii) seasonality
of the Company's  business  (iii)  progress,  timing of completion and impact on
gross margin of poultry  facility  projects and (iv) market risk associated with
changes in interest and foreign exchange rates, contain certain  forward-looking
statements  concerning  the  Company's  operations,   economic  performance  and
financial  condition.  Because such statements  involve risks and uncertainties,
actual  results may differ  materially  from those  expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


The  Company  is subject  to market  risk  associated  with  adverse  changes in
interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, but does not hold any market
risk sensitive  instruments for trading purposes.  Principal exposed to interest
rate risk is  limited to $39.6  million  in  variable  rate  debt.  The  Company
measures its interest rate risk by estimating the net amount by which  potential
future net earnings would be impacted by hypothetical changes in market interest
rates related to all interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities.  Assuming a
hypothetical  20% increase in interest  rates as of June 30, 1999, the estimated
reduction in earnings, net of tax, is expected to be approximately $0.3 million.

The Company  mitigates its foreign  currency  exchange rate risk  principally by
establishing  local  production  facilities  in the  markets  it  serves  and by
invoicing  customers  in the same  currency as the source of the  products.  The
Company  also  monitors  its  foreign  currency  exposure  in each  country  and
implements   strategies   to  respond  to  changing   economic   and   political
environments.  The  Company's  exposure to foreign  currency  exchange rate risk
relates primarily to U.S. dollar-denominated  inter-company loans. The Company's
exposure  related to such  transactions is not material to cash flows.  However,
the Company's  exposure related to such transactions to the Company's  financial
position and results of operations is  anticipated  to be adversely  impacted by
approximately  $165,000,  net of tax, for every 10% devaluation of the Brazilian
Real per  U.S.  dollar  and  approximately  $75,000,  net of tax,  for  every 5%
depreciation of the Dutch Guilder per U.S.  dollar.  These amounts are estimates
only  and are  difficult  to  accurately  estimate  due to  factors  such as the
inherent fluctuation of inter-company account balances and the existing economic
uncertainty and future economic conditions in the international marketplace.
