                         UNR INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  Nature of Operations:

     UNR Industries, Inc. ("UNR" or the "Company") manufactures towers, 
poles, mounts and related accessories used principally to support 
telecommunications antennae for wireless communications, such as private 
microwave, cellular telephone, PCS (personal communications systems), 
commercial and amateur broadcasting and home television.  The Company also 
produces shelters and cabinets of concrete and fiberglass to house electronic 
telecommunications equipment.

     The Company conducts its business principally through its ROHN Division 
which has manufacturing facilities in Peoria, Illinois (towers and poles), 
Frankfort, Indiana (tower components and mounts), and Bessemer, Alabama 
(shelters).

(2)  Principles of Consolidation:

     The financial statements include the consolidated accounts of UNR and 
its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions have been 
eliminated in consolidation.

(3)  Income Taxes:

     The Company's remaining NOL carry forwards, general business credit 
carry forwards, and AMT credit carry forwards, were fully utilized during 
1996.

(4)  Net Income Per Share:

     Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common 
shares outstanding during each period.  Dilution, which would result if all 
outstanding options were exercised, is not significant to the net income per 
share computation.

(5)  Treasury Stock:

     In 1990, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had 
authorized the acquisition, through both negotiated transactions involving 
large blocks and open market purchases, of up to 1.5 million shares of its 
common stock to be held as treasury shares and be available to meet 
requirements of its Key Executives' Stock Option Plan and other corporate 
purposes.  As of June 30, 1997, 1,133,565 shares have been purchased. 

    Pursuant to the UNR Industries, Inc. 1994 Executive Stock Purchase Plan, 
during the first quarter of 1997 the Company retained 308,625 treasury shares 
from certain officers to satisfy the unpaid principal portion of promissory 
notes due to the Company. See Item 13 in Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 1 for 
further details.  

(6)  Dividends Declared:

     On September 27, 1996, the Company paid an extraordinary cash dividend 
of $2.00 per share to stockholders of record as of the close of business on 
September 17, 1996. On December 23, 1996, the Company paid a regular cash 
dividend of $.25 per share and an extraordinary cash dividend of $.35 per 
share to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 16, 
1996.

(8)   Discontinued Operations:

    On September 7, 1995, the Company announced that its Board of Directors 
authorized Company management to explore the sale of all or a majority of the 
common stock of the Company.  On January 26, 1996, the Company announced that 
efforts to sell the entire Company did not result in a satisfactory offer and 
that it would begin discussions with multiple parties regarding the sale of 
four of its five operating divisions in order to focus fully on the strategic 
growth and development of its ROHN Division, a supplier of goods and 
services to the telecommunications industry.  The divisions sold were the 
Leavitt Tube Division, a producer of mechanical and structural steel tubing, 
the Commercial Products Division, a manufacturer of steel and plastic 
shopping carts, the Home Products Division, a manufacturer of stainless steel 
and composite sinks and the Real Time Solutions, Inc. subsidiary, a supplier 
of "pick-to-light" inventory picking systems.  Net liabilities of these 
divisions are classified as "Net liabilities of discontinued operations" in 
the accompanying balance sheets.

    On May 16, 1996, the Company announced the signing  of  a  definitive sales
agreement to sell its UNR-Leavitt Division to Chase Brass Industries, Inc. for
$95.0 million cash, subject to closing adjustments.  This transaction closed in
August, 1996.

    On June 19, 1996, the Company announced the signing of a definitive sales 
agreement to sell its Unarco Commercial Products Division to Richards Capital 
Fund, L.P. for $41.0 million cash, subject to closing adjustments.  This 
transaction closed in July, 1996.

    On August 27, 1996 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to 
sell the assets of its Home Products Division to Franke, Inc. for $21.4 
million cash, subject to closing adjustments. This transaction closed in 
September, 1996.

    On December 19, 1996, the Company announced the sale of its Real Time 
Solutions, Inc. subsidiary to Pinnacle Automation. This transaction closed in 
December, 1996.

    The sale of these divisions in 1996 resulted in a gain of $21.9 million, 
net of $14.6 million of taxes, which was recorded in the third quarter of 
1996.

(9) Basis of Reporting for Interim Financial Statements:

    The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared by 
the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and 
Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally 
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and 
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate 
to make the information presented not misleading.  It 

                                       6

<PAGE>

is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the 
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual 
Report and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

    The financial statements presented herewith reflect all adjustments 
(consisting of normal and recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of 
management, are necessary for fair statement of the results of operations for 
the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  Results of 
operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to 
be expected for an entire year.


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

    The Company's 1996 Annual Report and Form 10-K contain management's 
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for 
the year ended December 31, 1996.  The following discussion and analysis 
describes changes in the Company's financial condition from December 31, 
1996, and the Company's financial position at that date.  Trends are 
discussed to the extent known and considered relevant.  The analysis of 
results of operations compares the three- and six-month periods ended June 
30, 1997, with the corresponding periods of 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    SECOND QUARTER OF 1997 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER OF 1996:

    Net sales from continuing operations increased 2.6% to $38.9 million from 
$37.9 million in the prior year.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.4 million or 11.4% 
of sales for 1997 versus $3.8 million or 10.0% of sales in 1996.  The 
increase is due primarily to costs in connection with the implementation of a 
new management information system.

    Operating income was $7.7 million, or 19.7% of sales for the second 
quarter of 1997 and $7.7 million or 20.2% of sales for the same period last 
year.

    Net interest in both periods includes the interest earned on short-term 
investments reduced by interest paid on secured debt. The increase in net 
interest expense for the second quarter of 1997 versus net interest expense  
for the same period last year is due to long term borrowings for the management
information system being installed, and the use of the Company's line of
credit.

    FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1997 VERSUS FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1996:

    Net sales from continuing operations increased 11.3% to $76.6 million 
from $68.8 million in the prior year. This increase is due in part to the 
continuing build-out of the Personal Communications System (PCS) 
infastructure.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.4 million or 11.0% 
of sales for 1997 versus $7.2 million or 10.5% of sales in 1996

     Operating income was $15.5 million, or 20.1% of sales for the first  
half of 1997 versus $13.5 million, or 19.6% of sales  for the same period 
last year. 

    Net interest in both periods includes the interest earned on short-term 
investments reduced by interest paid on secured debt. The increase in net 
interest expense is due to long term borrowings for the Frankfort, IN 
facility and for the management information system being installed.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The following is a comparison of the working capital at June 30, 1997,
and December 31, 1996:

                                      June 30, 1997          December 31, 1996
                                      -------------          -----------------

Working Capital (in millions)              $35.9                      $30.2

Working Capital Ratio                   2.0 to 1                   1.8 to 1

    The Company's financial condition continues to be strong at the end of 
the second quarter of 1997, with working capital of $35.9 million at June 30, 
1997, as compared to $30.2 million at December 31, 1996.  The Company's 
working capital ratio at June 30, 1997, was 2.0 to 1 versus 1.8 to 1 at 
December 31, 1996; both are considered strong measures of liquidity.  The 
Company expects that it will meet its ongoing working capital and capital 
expenditure requirements from operating cash flows, borrowings through 
industrial revenue bonds and under a $20.0 million short-term credit 
facility. In addition, the Company's strong unleveraged balance sheet allows 
it access to funds, if needed, from the capital markets.  

SALE OF DISCONTINUED BUSINESSES

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

    The Financial Accounting Standards board has issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is 
effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending 
after December 15, 1997, and SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of Information about 
Capital Structure, which is effective for periods ending after December 15, 
1997. Earlier application is not permitted. The expected impact of the 
adoption of these standards will not be material.
