NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A--INCOME TAXES

The Company calculates its income tax expense under the liability
method of accounting for income taxes.  Income for the first nine
months of fiscal 1996 reflects an estimated annualized tax rate of
approximately 43%.

NOTE B--INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Income per common share is based on the weighted average number of
common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during each
period.  Common stock equivalents include options granted to key
employees and outside directors.  The number of common stock
equivalents was based on the number of shares issuable on the
exercise of options reduced by the number of common shares that are
assumed to have been purchased, at the average price of the common
stock during each quarter, with the proceeds from the exercise of
the options. Fully diluted income per common share is not presented
because dilution is not significant.

NOTE C--NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT

In May 1996, a two year credit agreement with a bank to provide the
Company with a maximum of $3,000,000 under a revolving credit
facility expired, as scheduled.  At that time, the Company repaid
both the balance outstanding and accrued interest thereon.  Also,
a promissory term note that had been added to the revolving credit
note was repaid at the same time even though final payment was not
previously scheduled to be made until March 1998.

In May 1996, the Company entered into a two year credit agreement
with a bank whereby the Company may borrow a maximum of $4,000,000
under a revolving credit facility.  At the option of the Company,
borrowings under the note may bear interest at the lending bank's
prime commercial interest rate or at the London Interbank Offered
Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.25 percentage points.  Interest is payable on
a monthly basis.  The loan agreement contains covenants that
require the maintenance of a specified ratio of quick assets to
current liabilities, as defined, and a specified ratio of total
liabilities to tangible net worth, as defined, both ratios to be
measured on a quarterly basis beginning August 31, 1996.  As of May
31, 1996, $2,299,000 was outstanding under the revolving credit
note.

NOTE D--CAPITAL STOCK

At May 31, 1996 and August 31, 1995, there were 1,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, with a par value of $1 authorized.  None have been
issued.

At May 31, 1996 and August 31, 1995, there were 10,000,000 shares
of par value $.20 common stock authorized of which 5,268,625 shares
were issued.  Of the shares issued, 3,467,141 were outstanding. 
The remainder of the issued stock is comprised of 113,696 shares of

<PAGE>

treasury stock at cost and 1,687,788 shares of treasury stock at no
cost.

NOTE E--CONTINGENCIES

Due to the complexity of the Company's operations, disagreements
occasionally occur.

In the opinion of management, the Company's ultimate loss from such
disagreements and potential resulting legal action, if any, will
not be significant.

NOTE F--DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In 1993, management of the Company decided to discontinue the
Company's contract products segment.  

At August 31, 1995 assets related to the discontinued contract
products operations were stated at estimated realizable values and
consisted of land, building and equipment.

In fiscal 1996, the Company leased the building and the majority of
the land. The initial lease term is for a period of five years with
an option to extend the lease for an additional five year period. 
The lease also contains an option to purchase the property during
the first two years of the initial lease period.

The remaining parcel of land and equipment are on the market to be
sold.

the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to net sales of
$8,581,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  For the first nine
months of 1996, net sales of $31,713,000 were approximately 4% less
than net sales of $32,961,000 reported for the first nine months of
1995.

Fireplace Products.  Net sales increased approximately 10% in the
third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the third quarter of 1995.

The sales increase was attributed to a 14% increase in the quantity
of zero clearance fireplace units delivered during the quarter. 
Between the comparative nine month periods, net sales decreased
approximately 5%.  Although deliveries of both zero clearance
fireplace units and ventfree gas log sets were slightly greater in
the most recent nine months, the average unit sales prices received
for the products were less than those received in the prior year
which caused the overall decrease in net sales.  Net sales of
fireplace units were apparently favorably influenced by the
increase in housing starts in the current quarter compared to the
third quarter of last year.  The increase in nationwide housing
starts was approximately 16% between the comparative quarters but
only approximately 4% between the nine month comparison periods.

Face Brick Products.  Net sales increased approximately 21% in the
third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the third quarter of
fiscal 1995. An increase in the quantity of brick shipped accounted
for the major portion of the sales increase.  Between the
comparative nine month periods, net sales increased approximately
3%.  The increase was caused by an increase in the quantity of
brick delivered in addition to a small increase in the price
received for the brick.

Gross Profit

Fireplace Products.  Gross profit increased by approximately 17% in
the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the third quarter of
fiscal 1995.  Between the comparative nine month periods, gross
profit decreased approximately 11%.  The change in the sales volume
in each of the current periods caused a corresponding change in the
gross profit recorded in each period of the current year.

Face Brick Products.  Gross profit increased approximately 18% in
the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the third quarter of
fiscal 1995. Between the nine month periods, gross profit increased
approximately 1%.  The increases in both periods were a direct
result of the increases in sales volume.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $622,000
or 23% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the third
quarter of fiscal 1995.  As a percentage of sales, expenses
decreased from approximately 31% in 1995 to 21% in 1996.  Selling
expenses in fiscal 1995 included greater than normal amounts for
advertising, promotions, displays and trade shows to promote the
Company's various gas fireplace products.  Between the comparative
nine month periods, expenses decreased approximately $1,072,000 or
13%.  As a percentage of sales, expenses decreased from 25% in 1995
to 23% in 1996.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately the same in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 as the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  Between the
comparative nine month periods, interest expense increased $94,000
or 28%.  The increase in expense was caused by the increase in debt
outstanding during the most recent nine months.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense of $392,000 for the first nine months of fiscal
1996 includes the provision for both federal and state income
taxes.  An estimated annualized effective tax rate of 43% was
applied to pre-tax income for the first nine months of fiscal 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,338,000 for the
first nine months of 1996 compared to $979,000 for the first nine
months of 1995.  The increase in 1996 was caused primarily by
changes in working capital, principally the decrease in accounts
receivable.

In May 1996, a two year credit agreement with a bank expired, as
scheduled.  The Company repaid both the balance outstanding and
interest that was due at the time of expiration.  The Company
entered into a two year credit agreement with another bank whereby
the Company may borrow a maximum of $4,000,000 under a revolving
credit facility. At the option of the Company, borrowings under the
note may bear interest at a variable or fixed rate.  Interest is
payable on a monthly basis.

Working capital decreased by $479,000 at May 31, 1996 compared to
August 31, 1995.  The current ratio remained at approximately 2.0.

<PAGE>

Capital expenditures and capitalized lease obligations for the
first nine months of 1996 were $1,502,000 compared to $3,511,000
for the first nine months of 1995.  Expenditures include amounts
for tooling, dies and repairs to existing tooling and equipment. 
The capital additions have been financed by cash flow from
operations.

The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations together
with funds available from the revolving credit facility should
provide the Company with adequate funds to meet its working capital
requirements as well as requirements for capital expenditures for
at least the next twelve months.
