4. Litigation, Contingencies and Commitments

   The  Industrial  and Allied  Employees  Union Local No. 73 Pension  Plan (the
   "Plan")  issued  a  claim  for  payment  of  withdrawal   liability  totaling
   approximately  $870,000 under Section 4219 of ERISA against Hupp, CPT and all
   "controlled group members",  as a result of Hupp's cessation of contributions
   to the Plan following the  discontinuance of Hupp's business in October 1994.
   On July 10, 1996,  the  arbitrator  sustained  the Plan's claim of withdrawal
   liability  against  CPT.  Pursuant to ERISA,  CPT  subsequently  appealed the
   arbitration  decision to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
   Ohio.  As  of  December  31,  1997,   CPT  has  made   payments   aggregating
   approximately $766,000 to the Plan and as of June 30, 1996, has fully accrued
   the amount of the outstanding  claim less payments made through that date. On
   September 17, 1997, in response to CPT's appeal,  the District  Court vacated
   in part,  and  confirmed  in part the  arbitrator's  award.  In its final and
   appealable  judgement,  the District  Court ruled in favor of the Plan in the
   amount of $62,696.  The decision is now being  appealed by the Plan.  CPT has
   not recorded any gain contingency with respect to this litigation.

   J&L's workers compensation insurance program provides for self insurance with
   stop-loss  protection.  Under this arrangement,  for the policy year November
   1996-1997,  J&L was  required  to issue a letter of credit in the name of the
   insurance  company.  At December 31, 1997,  $1,000,000 was the maximum amount
   available under the letter of credit. J&L is financially  responsible for the
   face value of this letter of credit.  The face value of this letter of credit
   reduces the availability under the Revolving Line of Credit facility. For the
   policy year November,  1996-1997, J&L was required to maintain no other forms
   of collateral relating to its workers' compensation program. J&L is currently
   insured under a fixed cost, fully insured workers' compensation program.

<PAGE>




   In 1995,  J&L signed a contract for  turn-key  development,  fabrication  and
   installation  of a new reheat  furnace.  Furnace  startup  took place in July
   1996,  with the  entire  project  having a total cost of  approximately  $8.5
   million. Of this amount, $7.1 million has been disbursed through December 31,
   1997, and the remaining amount of $1.4 million  representing the retention on
   the original project has not been paid and is recorded in accounts payable at
   December 31, 1997.  J&L is currently in the process of  arbitration  with the
   furnace  builder   regarding  the  final  payment  as  the  Company  believes
   performance  testing  results  did  not  meet  contract   specifications.   A
   determination  of the likely  outcome of the  arbitration  is unknown at this
   time.

   The  Company  is not a party to any  additional  litigation,  commitments  or
   contingent matters.

5.  Earnings Per Share

   In 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Boards  issued  Statement of
   Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("FAS 128"). FAS
   128 replaced the previously  reported  primary and fully diluted earnings per
   share with basic and diluted earnings per share.  Unlike primary earnings per
   share,  basic  earnings per share  excludes any dilutive  effects of options,
   warrants,  and  convertible  securities.  Diluted  earnings per share is very
   similar to the  previously  reported  fully diluted  earnings per share.  All
   earnings  share  amounts  for all  periods  have  been  presented,  and where
   necessary, restated to conform to the FAS 128 requirements.

   The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted  earnings
   per common share (in $000's, except per share amounts):

On April 1, 1995, the Company issued 2,000,000 warrants for the Company's common
stock which are  exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of issuance
at $1 per warrant. These warrants, although dilutive to earnings per share, were
not  included  in  the  diluted   computation   because  they  would  have  been
antidilutive for all periods presented.

On February 1, 1996,  the Company  issued  300,000  warrants  for the  Company's
common stock,  which are  exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of
issuance  at $4 per  warrant.  These  warrants  which could  potentially  dilute
earnings  per share in the future were not  included in the diluted  computation
because the weighted  average price per share for the three and six months ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996 did not exceed the exercise price.

ITEM 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition And
         Results Of Operations

J&L Structural, Inc. ("J&L") is segmented into two distinct operating divisions,
J&L Structural  division ("J&L  Structural") and Brighton Electric Steel Casting
Company ("Brighton"),  as a result of significant  differences in both customers
and products. J&L Structural is also segmented into two separate divisions which
includes  the  Ambridge  division . This  distinction  is due mainly to separate
labor contracts which exist among the employees of J&L Structural.  The Ambridge
division provides all finishing services required for J&L Structural products.


Results of Operations

                 ===========     ===========      ===========    ===========

Net sales for J&L  Structural  during 1997  increased in comparison to the prior
year amounts  primarily due to continued  strength in the  manufactured  housing
industry which represents  approximately  65% of J&L Structural's  business.  In
addition,  renewed strength in the general  construction  industry  representing
approximately  20% of J&L Structural's  business has more than offset the impact
from the continued  weakness in customer  shipments of crossmembers to the truck
trailer market.  Overall  shipped tonnage  increased by 10.6% and 13.4% over the
comparable three and six month periods in the prior year, respectively.

Brighton's  sales reduction for the current six month period  reflects  extended
(two week rather than one) summer shut-downs for several customers,  in addition
to an  employee  strike  involving  another  customer  which  has been  recently
resolved.  Brighton's sales increase for the current three month period reflects
increased unit shipments to most customers,  offset by the lingering  effects of
the aforementioned employee strike.

Gross Margins

Gross  margins for the three month and six month  periods  ended  December  31,
were:

Brighton          24.6%    26.1%    24.9%     25.3%

Total             13.4%    10.5%    14.4%     11.3%
                  =====    =====    =====     =====

Gross  margins  for  J&L  Structural  improved   significantly  during  1997  in
comparison  to  the  prior  year  due  mainly  to  realization  of  productivity
improvements  resulting from more efficient  operation of the new reheat furnace
and  production of higher margin  products,  particularly  for the  construction
market.  During  the  comparable  periods  in  1996,  production  inefficiencies
resulted from required  equipment  improvements  to the new reheat furnace which
were  completed  during  the second  fiscal  quarter,  as well as startup  costs
relating to the extended  period of changeover to this vital piece of equipment,
hindered operating performance.  Billet costs, which comprise approximately 70 %
of J&L Structural's  manufacturing  costs remained  relatively stable during the
comparable periods presented.

Brighton's  gross margins have decreased in comparison to the prior year periods
due mainly to product mix changes.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased 17.5% and 18.4% for the
three and six months ended December 31, 1997,  respectively  over the comparable
periods in the prior year.  This increase was due to the hiring of an additional
sales  and  technical  representative  who will  focus on  manufactured  housing
industry  sales   development,   professional   fees  for  information   systems
development  efforts and mill improvement  analysis,  and legal costs associated
with the ongoing arbitration with the furnace builder.

Other Income / Expense

Other  income/expense in the current year reflects  expenditures  which resulted
from professional costs incurred relating to a potential  acquisition of a steel
company.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows from operations for the three months ended December  31,1997 and 1996
totaled  $1,970,000  and  $286,000,  respectively,  while the six  months  ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996 totaled $3,247,000 and $4,007,000,  respectively. The
increase in cash flows from  operations  for the three months ended December 31,
1997  compared to the same period in the prior year  reflect  reduced  inventory
levels due to second  quarter  shipments  being  higher  than  anticipated.  The
decrease  in cash  flows for the six  month  period  ending  December  31,  1997
compared to the same period in the prior year was attributed primarily to higher
inventory levels in 1997 reflecting higher levels of operations compared to 1996
resulting from stronger demand from most of J&L Structural's core markets.


                                       9
<PAGE>



The Company's  investing  activities for the three and six months ended December
31, 1997 reflect  maintenance  capital  spending.  Capital  spending  during the
comparable  periods in 1996  included  approximately  $200,000  and  $2,000,000,
representing  final   expenditures   associated  with  the  new  reheat  furnace
installation.

Financing  activities  for the three and six  months  ended  December  31,  1997
included  scheduled  repayments of $804,000 and $1,589,000,  respectively on the
senior term loan and state loans. Additionally, net repayments of $1,153,000 and
$1,017,000 were made under the senior lender's revolving credit facility for the
three and six months ended December 31, 1997, respectively.  Outstanding debt as
of December  31, 1997  totaled  $58,879,000  with  related  interest  expense of
$3,875,000  for the six months ended December 31, 1997  representing  an average
borrowing  rate  approximating  12.2%  over the period  excluding  the impact of
amortization of deferred financing costs.

Cash and cash equivalents  increased from $61,000 to $260,000 for the six months
ended  December  31,  1997.  Although the  Company's  total equity  represents a
deficit of approximately  $11,584,000,  this position is due largely to the poor
performance of previously discontinued operations and a basis adjustment for the
carried  predecessor  interest  in the  acquisition  of J&L during  fiscal  1995
totaling  ($9,705,000).  The  Company's  scheduled  requirements  for cash  from
operations  during the next twelve months  include  approximately  $3,906,000 of
principal  repayments  under the senior  term loan and  various  state loans and
approximately  $2,000,000 of estimated  maintenance and new product  development
capital spending.  Additionally, it is anticipated that the arbitration with the
furnace  builder,  described in Note 4 herein,  will be settled during  calendar
1998.  Management  expects  that cash flows from  operations  will  continue  to
satisfy the Company's requirements to fund operating expenses,  debt service and
capital expenditures in the future.


Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements

This  report  contains  forward-looking  statements  within  the  meaning of the
Private Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Investors are cautioned that
any  forward-looking  statements,  including  statements  regarding  the intent,

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1:   Legal Proceedings

   The  Industrial  and Allied  Employees  Union Local No. 73 Pension  Plan (the
"Plan")   issued  a  claim  for  payment  of   withdrawal   liability   totaling
approximately  $870,000  under Section 4219 of ERISA  against Hupp,  CPT and all
"controlled group members",  as a result of Hupp's cessation of contributions to
the Plan  following the  discontinuance  of Hupp's  business in October 1994. On
July 10, 1996, the arbitrator sustained the Plan's claim of withdrawal liability
against  CPT.  Pursuant to ERISA,  CPT  subsequently  appealed  the  arbitration
decision to the U.S.  District  Court for the Northern  District of Ohio.  As of
December 31, 1997, CPT has made payments aggregating  approximately  $766,000 to
the  Plan  and as of  June  30,  1996,  has  fully  accrued  the  amount  of the
outstanding  claim less  payments made through that date. On September 17, 1997,
in response to CPT's appeal,  the District  Court vacated in part, and confirmed
in part the  arbitrator's  award.  In its final and  appealable  judgement,  the
District Court ruled in favor of the Plan in the amount of $62,696. The decision
is now being  appealed by the Plan.  CPT has not recorded  any gain  contingency
with respect to this litigation.

   In 1995,  J&L signed a contract for  turn-key  development,  fabrication  and
installation of a new reheat  furnace.  Furnace startup took place in July 1996,
with the entire project having a total cost of  approximately  $8.5 million.  Of
this amount,  $7.1 million has been disbursed through December 31, 1997, and the
remaining  amount of $1.4  million  representing  the  retention on the original
project has not been paid and is recorded  in accounts  payable at December  31,
1997.  J&L is currently in the process of arbitration  with the furnace  builder
regarding the final payment as the Company believes  performance testing results
did not meet contract  specifications.  A determination of the likely outcome of
the arbitration is unknown at this time.

   The  Company  is not a party to any  additional  litigation,  commitments  or
contingent matters.
