NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A--INCOME TAXES

Income taxes have been provided using the liability method in
accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  Income for the first six
months of fiscal 1997 reflects an estimated annualized tax rate of
approximately 40%.

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, 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.  As of February 28, 1997 there was
no balance outstanding under the revolving credit note.

NOTE D--CAPITAL STOCK

At February 28, 1997 and August 31, 1996, there were 1,000,000
shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $1 authorized.  None
have been issued.

At February 28, 1997 and August 31, 1996, there were 10,000,000
shares of par value $.20 common stock authorized.  At August 31,
1996, 5,268,625 shares were issued of which 3,467,141 shares were
outstanding.  At February 28, 1997, 5,278,625 shares were issued of
which 3,477,141 shares were outstanding.  The remainder of the
issued stock is comprised of 113,696 shares of treasury stock at
cost and 1,687,788 shares of treasury stock at no cost.

                                                     Page 7 of 13
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.  

In fiscal 1996, the Company leased the building and the majority of
the land. The initial lease term was for a period of five years
with an option to extend the lease for an additional five year
period.  The lease also contained an option to purchase the
property during the first two years of the initial lease period. 
Rental income received was recorded as a reduction in the carrying
value of the property.  The lessee exercised the option to purchase
the leased property and the sale of the property was consummated in
the second quarter of fiscal 1997.

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 a 1% decrease in net sales to $8,985,000 in
the second quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to net sales of
9,060,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1996.  For the first six
months of 1997, sales of $22,071,000 were approximately the same as
sales of $22,053,000 reported for the first six months of 1996.

FIREPLACE PRODUCTS.  Net sales decreased approximately 1% in the
second quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the second quarter of
1996.  The sales decrease was attributed to a 6% decrease in the
number of zero clearance fireplace units delivered during the most
recent quarter.  An 11% increase in the number of vent-free gas log
sets delivered in the second quarter of 1997 was almost enough to
offset the negative impact on sales caused by the reduced quantity
of fireplaces.  Between the comparative six month periods, net
sales also decreased approximately 1% as in the quarterly
comparison.  The decrease in sales resulted from a small decrease
in the number of both fireplace units and gas log sets that were
shipped in the most recent six month period.

FACE BRICK PRODUCTS.  Net sales decreased approximately 1% in the
second quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the second quarter of
fiscal 1996. The reduction in sales was the direct result of a
reduction in the quantity shipped in the most recent quarter. 
Between the comparative six month periods, net sales increased
approximately 7% as the result of a 7% increase in the quantity of
brick sold.

GROSS PROFIT
- ------------

FIREPLACE PRODUCTS.  Gross profit decreased by approximately 2% in
the second quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the second quarter of
fiscal 1996.  Between the comparative six month periods, gross
profit decreased approximately 3%.  The decrease in gross profit
for both periods in fiscal 1997 was caused by the decrease in sales
volume compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 1996.

FACE BRICK PRODUCTS.  Gross profit decreased approximately 1% in
the second quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the second quarter of
fiscal 1996. The decrease in gross profit resulted from the
decrease in sales volume.  Between the six month periods, gross
profit increased 6%, approximately the same as the increase
recorded in sales.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------------

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $147,000
or 7% in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 1996.  As a percentage of sales, expenses
increased from approximately 25% in 1996 to 27% in 1997.  Between
the comparative six month periods, expenses decreased approximately
$136,000 or 3%.  As a percentage of sales, expenses were
approximately 23% in each of the six month comparison periods.

INTEREST EXPENSE
- ----------------

Interest expense decreased $10,000 or 8% in the second quarter of
1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996.  Between the
comparative six month periods, interest expense decreased $13,000
or 4%.  The decrease in expense in both the second quarter and the
first six months of 1997 was caused by the decrease in debt
outstanding during both periods compared to those in 1996.

INCOME TAXES
- ------------

Income tax expense of $443,000 for the first six months of fiscal
1997 includes the provision for both federal and state income
taxes.  An estimated annualized effective tax rate of 40% was
applied to pre-tax income for the first six months of fiscal 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,215,000 for the
first six months of 1997 compared to $3,485,000 for the first six
months of 1996.  The reduced cash flow from operations was caused
by changes in working capital, principally the decrease in accounts
payable and accrued expenses.

In May 1996, the Company entered into a two year credit agreement
with a bank whereby the Company may borrow up to $4,000,000 under
a revolving credit facility.  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 on a monthly
basis and also at the end of the borrowing period if borrowing at
a fixed rate.

Working capital increased by $1,542,000 at February 28, 1997
compared to August 31, 1996.  The current ratio increased from 1.8
to 3.0 along with the increase in working capital.

                                                    Page 10 of 13

Capital expenditures and capitalized lease obligations for the
first six months of 1997 were $660,000 compared to $846,000 for the
first six months of 1996.  Expenditures include amounts for
tooling, dies, replacement items and repairs to manufacturing
equipment.  The capital additions have been financed by cash flow
from operations and term notes on a portion of the replacement
items.

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.
