            NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           QUARTER ENDED JULY 1, 1995

1. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein are
   prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q.
   Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally
   accompanying the annual financial statements have been omitted.  The interim
   financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the
   consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
   latest annual report on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of management, the
   consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (none of which were
   other than normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of
   the results for the interim periods.


2. The Company's credit agreement with two banks expires April 20, 1996.  This
   agreement covers both the unsecured term loan with a remaining balance of
   $4,700,000 and an unsecured line of credit of $12,000,000.  At July 1, 1995,
   the Company has $5,900,000 outstanding under the unsecured line of credit.
   In addition, the line of credit supports approximately $4,400,000 of standby
   letters of credit.  The Company intends to enter into a new credit agreement
   with the banks prior to issuing the financial statements for the year ending
   December 30, 1995.  The Company expects to maintain a similar portion of the
   debt as long term, however, the requirements for long term classification of
   short-term obligations expected to be refinanced, as specified in Statement
   of Financial Accounting Standards No. 6, have not yet been met.  Accordingly,
   the entire term debt under the existing credit agreement has been classified
   as a current liability.  (See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
   Statements in the Company's 1994 Annual Report.)

3. The credit for income taxes is based upon the estimated effective tax rate
   for the year.

4. Operating results for the first six months of 1994 are not necessarily
   indicative of performance for the entire year.  Historically, sales of
   construction materials are higher in the second and third quarters.  Overall,
   sales of heating and air-conditioning products have not shown strong seasonal
   fluctuations in recent years although product mix yields higher gross profit
   in the fourth quarter.  (See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
   Statements in the Company's 1994 Annual Report.)

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATION




FINANCIAL CONDITION (SEE PAGES 2 AND 5)

Operations for the first six months of 1995 used $6,555,000 in cash compared to
$2,943,000 in 1994.  The increased use of cash is attributable mainly to
decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.  As noted in the Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources discussion in the 1994 Annual Report,
the increases in accounts payable and accruals at December 31, 1994 were due to
the early purchase of raw materials for 1995 production and timing of payments,
respectively.  The reduction in these amounts occurred, as expected, during the
first six months of 1995.  In addition, cash was used in April 1995 to pay the
settlement of the suit brought by ConAgra and its insurance carrier.  The amount
of the settlement had been fully reserved as of December 31, 1994 and thus had
no effect on the operations of the six months ended July 1, 1995.

During the 1995 quarter, Williams Furnace ("WFC") was notified by Pacific Gas
& Electric ("PG&E") that a recent inspection had discovered a higher than
normal incidence of cracks in the heat exchanger of two models of furnaces
manufactured by WFC.  These furnaces were purchased by PG&E during the years
1985 to 1991.  Initial engineering reports indicate that there is no safety
hazard arising from these cracks.  However, PG&E has announced its intent to
replace approximately 5,900 units purchased during the period.  The Consumer
Products Safety Commission ("CPSC") has been notified and WFC is working with
an independent engineering firm and the CPSC to determine the cause of the
cracks.  To date, WFC is not aware of any claims related to these matters and
as such no amounts have been accrued.

The Company estimates that its short-term line of credit (of which $5,900,000
was outstanding at July 1, 1995) will be adequate to meet its cash requirements
for the foreseeable future.  See also the discussion of the line of credit in
Note 2 of the accompanying Notes to the Quarterly Consolidated Financial
Statements.  Historically, the Company's borrowings against the short-term line
peak during the second quarter and decline over the remainder of the year.


OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF QUARTER ENDED JULY 1, 1995 TO QUARTER ENDED JULY 2,
1994 (SEE PAGE 3)

Consolidated net sales improved $90,000 (.5%).  The increase in the heating and
air-conditioning segment of $784,000 (7.3%) occurred at both Phoenix
Manufacturing and Williams Furnace and is attributable to new customers.
Partially offsetting the increase was the construction materials segment decline
of $695,000 (8.2%) primarily due to the second quarter of 1994 including two
large municipal projects that were non-recurring in 1995.

Consolidated cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and depletion) as a
percentage of sales rose from 78.4% to 80.0% due to decreased production levels
at Williams Furnace and increased raw materials costs in the heating and
air-conditioning segment which, due to competitive pressures, the Company was
unable to fully pass through to its customers.


                                        7

<PAGE>

Selling and administrative expenses increased $252,000 (8.9%) and are
attributable to expanded sales and marketing programs in the heating and air-
conditioning segment and legal expenses related mainly to product liability
matters.

The Company's loss from its equity investment in Oracle Ridge Mining Partners
increased slightly as lower production offset the stronger market price of
copper.

The increase in other income of $108,000 is due to gains on sales of certain
excess equipment.


OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 1, 1995 TO SIX MONTHS ENDED
JULY 2, 1994 (SEE PAGE 4)

Net sales increased $1,021,000 (3.0%).  The increase of $1,593,000 (8.1%) in the
heating and air-conditioning segment was due mainly to improvements at Phoenix
Manufacturing where new customers contributed to higher sales levels. The
decline in the construction materials segment, $573,000 (4.0%) was due to the
reasons noted above.

Sales and administrative expenses increased $421,000 (7.3%) due to the overall
sales increase and the reasons noted above.

The loss attributable to the Oracle Ridge Mining Partners investment was reduced
due to higher average copper prices.

The increase in other income of $178,000 is due to the reason noted above.

Historically, the Company has experienced operating losses during the first
quarter.  The second quarter has historically improved over the first quarter's
operating results.  This trend is expected to continue as sales of construction
materials are generally higher in the second and third quarters while sales of
heating and air-conditioning products, although not showing strong seasonality,
experience product mix changes that yield higher gross profits in the fourth
quarter.
