                           QUARTER ENDED APRIL 1, 2000

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 provision for income taxes is based upon the estimated effective tax
     rate for the year.

3.   Operating results for the first three months of 2000 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 has
     historically yielded higher gross profit margins in the fourth quarter.
     (See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's
     1999 Annual Report.)

4.   The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of basic and diluted
     earnings per share (EPS) for the three months ended April 1, 2000 and April
     3, 1999.

6.   On June 7,1999, the Company effected a 1-for-50 reverse stock split
     immediately followed by a 100-for-1 forward stock split. Share and per
     share amounts for 1999 have been restated to reflect this transaction.


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


         FINANCIAL CONDITION (SEE PAGES 2 AND 4)

       Operations for the first three months of 2000 used $294,000 in cash
       compared to $4,572,000 in 1999. The decrease in cash used is mainly
       attributed to changes in accounts receivable and inventories. The
       decrease in the accounts receivable balances is largely due to the timing
       of receipts. Cash used for the increase in inventories during the first
       quarter of 2000 was significantly less than during the 1999 period which
       reflected the build up of inventory levels in the heating and air
       conditioning segment related to abnormally low levels of furnaces at 1998
       year end.

       The Company estimates that its short-term line of credit (of which
       $4,900,000 was outstanding at April 1, 2000) will be adequate to meet its
       cash requirements for the foreseeable future. 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 APRIL 1, 2000 TO QUARTER ENDED
       APRIL 3, 1999 (SEE PAGE 3)

       Consolidated net sales were relatively constant at $24,375,000. Sales of
       the construction materials segment increased $778,000 (5.2%) which is
       attributed to mild weather and the continuing high level of construction
       activity along the Front Range in southern Colorado. Partially offsetting
       this increase was a decrease in the sales of the heating and air
       conditioning segment of $733,000 (7.2%). This decrease was caused by the
       carryover into the 2000 season of evaporative cooler inventory at
       customers' locations as a result of the unseasonably cool 1999 spring and
       summer. To a lesser extent, the decrease also reflects the loss of a
       large retail evaporative cooler customer

                                        6

<PAGE>

       Consolidated cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and depletion) as a
       percentage of sales increased from 75.5% to 75.9%. The increase reflects
       heightened competition in the construction materials segment due to a new
       competitor.

       Selling and administrative expenses increased $200,000 (5.3%) and as a
       percentage of sales from 15.5% to 16.3%. The increase in percentage is
       related to small increases in various expense categories and the addition
       of personnel.

       Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased from $1,087,000 to
       $1,352,000 as a result of the increased capital expenditures in the past
       two years.

       Interest expense increased due to higher levels of debt and interest
       rates.

       Historically, the Company has experienced operating losses during the
       first quarter. This pattern has changed in recent years due to the strong
       performance of the construction materials segment which has benefited
       from the continuing strong economy and mild weather along the Front Range
       of southern Colorado. Additionally, the fan coil product line, of the
       heating and air conditioning segment, continues to grow and shows little
       seasonality.


       YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

       There have not been any disruptions to the Company resulting from the
       year 2000 issue during the current quarter nor is there any meaningful
       update regarding this issue from the discussion in the Company's latest
       annual report on Form 10-K.

       A review has been undertaken to assess and correct Year 2000 issues
       affecting both our products and non-IT systems and equipment used in our
       businesses. At the present time, the Company has not identified any
       products that would not be Year 2000 compliant.


       FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

       This From 10 - Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
       of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such
       forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company's
       management as well as on assumptions made by and information available to
       the Company at the time such statements were made. When used in this
       Report, words such as "estimates," "anticipates," "contemplates,"
       "expects" and similar expressions are intended to identify
       forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from
       those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors
       including but not limited to: weather, interest rates, availability of
       raw materials and their related costs and competitive forces.
