                                  INTRODUCTION

           This Amendment No. 2 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements, and
constitutes the final amendment to, the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on
Schedule 13E-3 (the "Schedule 13E-3") originally filed on May 19, 1999 by (i)
SRB-MWI, L.L.C., a Nevada limited liability company ("Parent"), (ii) MWI
Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser"), and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parent, (iii) Meadowcraft, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and (iv) Samuel R. Blount, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto,
dated June 17, 1999, relating to the tender offer by Purchaser for all of the
issued and outstanding shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value $.01 per
share, of the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
the Offer to Purchase dated May 19, 1999 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the
related Letter of Transmittal (which together constitute the "Offer").

           All capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition have
the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13E-3.

ITEM 4.    TERMS OF THE TRANSACTIONS

     Item 4(a) of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended and supplemented by
adding the following:

           On June 30, 1999 the merger of Purchaser with and into Meadowcraft,
           pursuant to the short-form merger provisions of the Delaware General
           Corporation Law, was completed and Meadowcraft thereby became a
           wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser. In the merger, Shares not owned
           by Purchaser or its affiliates were converted into the right to
           receive $10.00 per Share in cash, subject to appraisal rights.

ITEM 10.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY

     Items 10(a) and (b) of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended and

           Offer expired. A total of 5,023,849 Shares (or approximately 94.5% of
           the issued and outstanding Shares not already owned by Purchaser and
           its affiliates) were purchased pursuant to the Offer. The Purchaser
           has accepted for payment and paid for all such Shares at the Offer
           Price of $10.00 per Share, in cash, net to the tendering stockholder.

           A copy of the press release issued by Purchaser on June 18, 1999,
           announcing the expiration of the Offer and the preliminary results

     Item 17 of the Schedule 14D-1 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding
the following exhibit:

     (a)(12)    Press release issued by Purchaser on June 18, 1999.*
