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 three
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 fiscal 1994, the Company entered into a two year credit agreement
with a bank whereby the Company may borrow a maximum of $3,000,000
under a revolving credit note.  The credit agreement was amended in
fiscal 1995, in which a three year term note of $1,212,000 was added. 
The term note requires quarterly payments of principal and interest
with the final payment due in March, 1998.  Covenants contained in the
original loan agreement that require the maintenance of a specified
ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth, as defined, and a
fixed charge flow coverage ratio, as defined, remain in effect.

NOTE D--CAPITAL STOCK

At November 30, 1995 and August 31, 1995, there were 1,000,000 shares

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 the first quarter of 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.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

The Company reported an 8% decrease in net sales to $12,993,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to net sales of $14,167,000 in
the first quarter of fiscal 1995. 

Fireplace Products.  Net sales decreased approximately 8% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1995. 
The sales decrease was attributed to a small decrease in the number of
zero-clearance fireplaces and ventfree log sets delivered in addition
to a small decrease in the average selling prices received for the
products in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Net sales were
apparently influenced by the decrease in housing starts between the
comparison periods.  Nationwide, housing starts decreased from an
annualized average of 1,494,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 to
an annualized average of 1,363,000 for the first two months of fiscal
1996.  [Housing start data for November 1995 (the last month of
Company's first quarter), was not published at the time this report was
prepared.]

Face Brick Products.  Net sales decreased approximately 11% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1995. 
The reduction in sales was the direct result of a reduction in the
quantity of brick sold in the first quarter of 1996.

Gross Profit

Fireplace Products.  Gross profit decreased approximately 15% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1995. 
The decrease was caused by the decrease in net sales.

Face Brick Products.  Gross profit decreased approximately 21% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1995.
With fixed manufacturing costs maintaining a relatively constant level,
the lower volume of product manufactured and sold did not permit
favorable absorption of overhead expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $249,000 or
8% in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the first quarter of
fiscal 1995.  Selling expenses are generally variable and decrease as
sales decrease.  As a percentage of sales, expenses were approximately
22% in each of the comparison quarters.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $75,000 in the first quarter of 1996
compared to the first quarter of 1995.  The increase in expense was
caused by the increase in debt outstanding during the first quarter of
1996.  It should be noted that outstanding debt at November 30, 1995
was more than $1,000,000 less than the amount outstanding at August 31,
1995.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense of $438,000 for the first quarter 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 quarter of fiscal 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,274,00 for the first
quarter of 1996 compared to $1,305,000 for the first quarter of 1995. 
The increased cash flow from operations in the first quarter of fiscal
1996 was due primarily to changes in working capital, principally
increases in accounts payable and income taxes payable.

In May 1994, the Company entered into a two-year credit agreement with
a bank whereby the Company may borrow a maximum of $3,000,000 under a
revolving credit facility.  The amount available under the revolving
credit facility is subject to limitations based on specified
percentages of the Company's eligible outstanding receivables and
inventory.  The outstanding principal balance may bear interest at a
variable or fixed rate, at the Company's option, at the time funds are
requested.  Interest is payable quarterly and also at the end of the
borrowing period if borrowing at a fixed rate.  In fiscal 1995, the
loan agreement was amended whereby a promissory term note in the amount
of $1,212,000 was added with a maturity date of March 1998.  The term
note requires quarterly payments of principal and interest.

Working capital increased by $482,000 at November 30, 1995 compared to
August 31, 1995.  Although there was an increase in the amount of
working capital, the current ratio remained the same at approximately
2.0 at each of the measurement dates.

Capital expenditures and capitalized lease obligations for the first
three months of 1996 were $387,000 compared to $921,000 for the first
three 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.
