                   NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (Unaudited)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for interim financial
information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.  These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with MMI Products, Inc.'s (the
"Company") annual financial statements for the year ended December 28, 1996
included in the Company's registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 26, 1997.

     In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of
September 27, 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the respective periods ended September 26, 1996 and September 27, 1997. 
Interim results for the nine months ended September 27, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending January 3,1998.

2. INVENTORIES

("Holding") for the redemption by Holding of certain of its equity interests,
ii) to repay the entire $10 million principal amount, plus accrued interest,
on a senior subordinated secured note payable, iii) to repay the Company's
remaining indebtedness under a term loan facility of $11.4 million and
iv) to reduce the Company's indebtedness under the revolving credit facility.

                                 (Unaudited)

3. LONG-TERM DEBT - (Continued)

     On August 26, 1997, the Company filed a registration statement on Form
S-4, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission to exchange the
$120 million Senior Subordinated Notes issued on April 16, 1997 for Registered
Senior Subordinated Notes, which have the same form and term as the April 16,
1997 notes.

     On April 15, 1997, the Company's revolving credit facility of $48.5 
million was extended through December 2001 with interest at the bank's base 
rate plus 0.25 percent or Eurodollar rate plus 2.0 percent.  The terms of the
revolving credit facility contain, among other provisions, affirmative and
negative covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial
ratios, limit the amount of additional indebtedness, limit the creation or
existence of liens and set certain restrictions on acquisitions, mergers, sales
of assets, and dividend payments.

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In November 1996, a former stockholder of Holding exercised its appraisal
rights and filed a lawsuit against Holding with respect to the value of the
common and preferred stock redeemed in connection with a recapitalization
transaction (the Recapitalization) which occurred on December 13, 1996.  In
January 1997, Holding paid the stockholder $2.2 million with respect to the
value of the preferred stock, the original value offered in the
Recapitalization.  The Company has recorded a liability to Holding for $3.7
million, which is equal to the amount the stockholder would have received for
its common stock if it had not exercised its appraisal rights.  Although
management believes the value that the Recapitalization provided to be paid to
holders of Holding common stock was fair to such holders, there can be no
assurance that the court will agree.  Any difference resulting from the
settlement of the value of the common stock would be recorded as an adjustment
to the contribution of capital from Holding and would therefore have no effect
on the operating results of the Company. 

     The Company is involved in a number of legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business.  The Company believes that the various asserted
claims and litigation in which it is involved will not materially affect its
financial position or future operating results, although no assurance can be
given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such claim or litigation.

</TABLE>

     Net sales for the three months and nine months ended September 27, 1997
increased $12.1 million (14.7%) and $52.5 million (24.9%), respectively, from
the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.  Such increases were
primarily attributable to the impact of the acquisitions of the wire mesh
operations of Atlantic Steel and Florida Wire Products, and the concrete
accessories operation of Gateway Building Products that occurred in the second
half of fiscal year 1996.  The Company currently is not a party to any
agreement pertaining to any business acquisitions that would cause continued
high growth in net sales.  It is an essential element of the Company's
strategy, however, to identify and where justified by market and economic
forces, acquire businesses at  valued prices. Increased activity in wood and
vinyl fence systems sales, and the opening of a Philadelphia area fence
product line service center in January 1997 also contributed to the increase
in sales.

     As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margins decreased 1.1% and
1.5%, respectively for the three months and nine months ended September 27,
1997 from the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.  The decline in
gross profit margin was primarily due to the shift in sales mix to lower
margin mesh products as a result of the 1996 acquisitions and increased raw
materials costs, particularly steel rod and zinc.

     Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales decreased 0.8% and 1.1% respectively for the three months and nine months
ended September 27, 1997, from the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal
year.  The decrease in these expenses, as a percentage of net sales, was the
result of a change in the Company's product mix during 1997 and higher
provisions for uncollectible receivables in 1996.  The Company's mesh and wire
product sales increased with the acquisition of Atlantic Steel and Florida 
Wire Products.  Mesh and wire products are generally sold in truckload 
quantities direct from the manufacturing facility to the customer.  Such sales
require relatively lower levels of selling expenses than the Company's other 
product lines where a sales force is in place at each distribution location.

     Interest expense increased $1.9 million (100.2%) and $3.4 million (62.0%)
respectively for the three months and nine months ended September 27,1997 from
the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.  The increases were
principally due to the higher levels of outstanding debt as a result of the
issuance of the $120 million Senior Subordinated Notes.  If the proceeds from
the issuance of the $120 million Senior Subordinated Notes had been available
at the beginning of fiscal year 1997, pro forma interest expense for the first
nine months of fiscal year 1997 would have been $12.6 million, an increase of
$3.8 million over the $8.8 million actually incurred.  Pro forma interest
expense is based on the 11.25% rate on the $120 million Senior Subordinated
Notes plus the amortization of deferred financing costs over the life of the
debt.

     Net income for the three months and nine months ended September 27, 1997
was $2.7 million (2.9% of net sales) and $7.2 million (2.7% of net sales),
respectively, compared to net income of $3.3 million (4.0% of net sales) and
$7.0 million (3.3% of net sales), respectively, for the corresponding periods
of the prior fiscal year.  The decrease in profitability was primarily a
result of the factors discussed above.  If the proceeds from the issuance of
the $120 million Senior Subordinated Notes had been available at the beginning
of fiscal year 1997, net income for the first nine months of fiscal year 1997
would have been approximately $5.0 million, a 29% decrease as compared to the
first nine months of fiscal year 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

     On April 16, 1997, the Company issued $120 million of senior subordinated
notes due 2007.  The net proceeds of $116.1 million, after fees and expenses,
were used i) to distribute $57 million to Holding for the redemption by 
Holding of certain of its equity interests, ii) to repay the entire $10 
million principal amount, plus accrued interest, on a senior subordinated
secured note payable, iii) to repay the Company's remaining indebtedness under
a term loan facility of $11.4 million and iv) to reduce the Company's
indebtedness under the revolving credit facility.

     Cash Flows.  For the nine months ended September 27, 1997, operating
activities provided net cash of approximately $4.6 million.  Net income
adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, and other
non-cash charges provided $12.8 million of operating cash flow, of which $5.7
million was utilized primarily for seasonal increases in operating assets and
liabilities, $2.2 million was paid to Holding for it to conclude its redemption
of preferred stock in connection with the Recapitalization, and $0.2 million
was utilized due to changes in other long-term assets and liabilities.
Investing activities utilized approximately $3.2 million of cash, principally
consisting of capital expenditures and an acquisition of a fence product line
service center.  Financing activities provided approximately $6.2 million of
cash, primarily from  the issuance of senior subordinated notes and the use of
their net proceeds, as discussed above.







<PAGE>  10

     For the nine months ended September 26, 1996, operating activities
provided net cash of approximately $2.8 million.  Net income adjusted for
non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash charges
provided $10.9 million of operating cash flow, of which $2.8 million was
utilized primarily for seasonal increases in operating assets and liabilities,
$5.9 million in deferred interest was paid to affiliates, and $0.6 million was
utilized due to changes in other long-term assets and liabilities.  Investing
activities utilized approximately $19.5 million of cash principally for the
acquisition of the wire mesh operation of Atlantic Steel and capital
expenditures.  Financing activities provided cash of approximately $15.1
million from net long-term borrowings.

     Working Capital.  The Company had working capital of $50.4 million as of
September 27, 1997, representing a $16.9 million increase from December 28,
1996, due primarily to the increase in accounts receivable from the Company's
higher level of sales during the third quarter (see discussion of Seasonality
below).  Increases in inventories since December 28, 1996 to accommodate the
seasonal peak levels of business were offset by higher levels of accounts
payable.  The Company's balance of cash and cash equivalents increased $7.5
million and accrued interest payable increased $5.7 million from the end of
1996 due principally to the issuance of the senior subordinated notes.

     EBITDA is a widely accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to
service and incur debt.  The Company's EBITDA for the first nine months of
fiscal year 1997 and 1996 was $24.9 million and $20.4 million, respectively.
The increase in EBITDA is primarily due to higher income before interest and
income taxes due to the changes in net sales, gross profit and selling, general
and administrative expenses discussed in "Results of Operations" above.  EBITDA
should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income or
cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles or as a measure of a company's profitability or liquidity.  EBITDA
is defined as the sum of income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, and non-recurring expenses.

     The Company expects that cash flows from operations and the borrowing
availability under its bank revolving credit facility will provide sufficient
liquidity to meet its normal operating requirements, capital expenditure plans,
existing debt service, and business acquisition strategy over the near term.

SEASONALITY

     The Company's products are used in the residential, commercial and
infrastructure construction industries.  These industries are both cyclical and
seasonal, and changes in demand for construction services have a material
impact on the Company's sales and profitability.  The highest level of sales
and profitability occur during the times of the year when climatic conditions
are most conducive to construction activity.  Accordingly, sales will typically
be higher in the Company's second and third quarters and will be lower in the
first and fourth quarters.
