Item 5.  Other Events

On May 25th, 1999, HIA,Inc. (the Company or HIA) acquired all of the
common stock issued and outstanding of Western Pipe Supply, Inc. (WPS), a
privately-held corporation established under the laws of Colorado, for a
purchase price of $2,662,495.  Of the total purchase price, $1,485,385 was paid
in cash directly to the seller and $1,177,110 was in the form of a subordinated
promissory note taken by the seller with a ten year amortization schedule
bearing interest at 8% per annum.  The cash paid to seller was financed in part
by additional borrowings on HIA's existing line of credit from Norwest Bank
Denver of $927,888 (of which $442,504 was the amount required to pay off the
seller's existing line of credit with Colorado Business Bank secured by all
existing assets of WPS) and a $1,000,000 five year note payable to the Norwest
Bank of Denver amortized monthly bearing interest at an 8.25% fixed rate.

A portion of the common stock of WPS was pledged as collateral for the
promissory note given to the seller as part of the purchase price.

The Company incurred direct costs, including legal and audit fees, totaling
$82,309.

The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting by which
the assets are valued at fair market value at the date of acquisition.  The
operating results of the financial statements of the Company reflect the
preliminary allocation of the purchase price.  The preliminary allocation has
resulted in acquired goodwill of $1,695,245 and a non-compete agreement of
$150,000 that are being amortized on a straight line basis over ten years.  The
Company has not completed the review of the purchase price allocation and will
determine the final allocation, if different, prior to the end of fiscal year
November 30, 1999.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants


To the Stockholders of
Western Pipe Supply Co., Inc.
Longmont, Colorado

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Western Pipe Supply Co.,
Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years
then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
 also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Western Pipe Supply Co., Inc.
as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Western Pipe Supply Co., Inc.
Summary of Accounting Policies
Information as to the Three Months Ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998 is Unaudited

Business

Western Pipe Supply Co., Inc. (the "Company") incorporated in the state of
Colorado on February 14, 1977 is a wholesale distributor of turf irrigation
equipment and commercial, industrial and residential well pumps and equipment
in Colorado.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 are presented on
a basis consistent with the audited financial statements and reflect all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for fair
presentation of the results of such periods.  The results of operations for the
interim period ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.  The Company
invests temporary cash in demand deposits with federally insured financial
institutions.  Such demand deposit accounts at times may exceed federally
insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

As of December 31, 1998, one customer represented approximately 11% of total
accounts receivable.  The Company reviews a customer's credit history before
extending credit and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon
the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other
information.  Generally, the Company does not require collateral from its
customers.




Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories

Inventories consist of wholesale goods held for resale which are primarily
valued at the lower of cost (as determined using the first-in, first-out
method) or market.

Depreciation, Amortization, Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging
from five to seven years.  Amortization on leasehold improvements is computed
using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the
estimated useful lives of the assets.  Upon sale or retirement, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation or accumulated amortization of disposed assets
are eliminated from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is
included in the statement of operations.  Depreciation and amortization expense
was $36,104 and $38,420 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 and
$143,081 and $153,679 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  If the
expected undiscounted future cash flow from the use of the assets and its
eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an
impairment loss is recognized and measured using the asset's fair value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue at the time products are shipped to customers in
the normal course of business.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 ("SFAS No. 109").  Temporary differences are differences
between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in
the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in
future years.

Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)

The Company has two classes of common stock as follows: Class A Common Stock-
The Company has authorized for issuance 50,000 shares of voting no par value
Class A common stock.  Each stockholder of Class A common stock is entitled to
a pre-emptive right to subscribe and acquire Class A common stock as defined.
Class B Common Stock-The Company has authorized for issuance 100,000 shares of
voting no par value Class B common stock.  Each stockholder of Class B common
stock has no pre-emptive right to subscribe to or to acquire additional Class B
common stock.

Comprehensive Income

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130
("SFAS No. 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income".  Comprehensive income is
comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders'
equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid in
capital and distributions to stockholders.  The adoption of SFAS No. 130 does
not impact the Company's financial statements for the three months ended March
31, 1999 and 1998 and for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.

Statements of Cash Flows

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.

As of December 31, 1998, the Company had available federal net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $440,000 and state net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $627,000.  The net operating loss carryforwards
expire through 2012.  The net operating losses are subject to various
limitations imposed by the rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue
Service.  A valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been
recorded as management of the Company has not been able to determine that it
is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will be realized.

6. Economic Dependency

During 1998, the Company purchased approximately 15%, 14%
and 10% of its products from three manufacturers, and during 1997, the Company
purchased approximately 20%, 11% and 11% of its products from three
manufacturers.  However, management believes the products purchased can be
obtained from other competing manufacturers but not necessarily as a
consolidated product group.

Noncash financing activities are summarized as follows:

During 1999, the Company offset its $319,241 note receivable, stockholder
against its note payable, stockholder.  Also, during 1999, the Company
converted its $935,073 note payable, stockholder into shares of Class B common
stock.  Finally, during 1999, the Company converted $1,349,713 in Class B
common stock into 18,396 shares of Class A common stock.

For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and for the year ended December 31,
1998, the Company increased its note receivable, stockholder by $15,373 from
the sale of a vehicle to the majority stockholder (see Note 3).

8.Subsequent Event

On March 25, 1999, HIA, Inc. acquired all of the issued and outstanding common
stock of the Company for a total purchase price of $2,662,495.

9.Year 2000 Issues (Unaudited)

Like other companies, the Company could be adversely affected if the computer
systems the Company, its suppliers or
customers use do not properly process and calculate date-related information
and data from the period surrounding and including January 1, 2000.  This is
commonly known as the "Year 2000" issue.  Additionally, this issue could impact
non-computer systems and devices such as production equipment, elevators, etc.
At this time, because of the complexities involved in the issue, management
cannot provide assurances that the Year 2000 issue will not have an impact on
the Company's operations.  The Company has updated its business technologies to
be ready for the Year 2000.

HIA, Inc.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations give effect to the acquisition by the Company of Western Pipe
Supply, Inc. (WPS) and are based on the estimates and assumptions set forth
herein and in the notes to such Unaudited Pro Forma financial statements.  This
pro forma presentation has been prepared utilizing historical financial
statements and notes thereto, certain of which are included herein as well as
pro forma adjustments as described in the Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  The pro forma financial data does
not purport to be indicative of the results which actually would have been
obtained had the acquisition been effected on the dates indicated or the
results which may be obtained in the future.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations are
presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what
the Company's results of operations would have been had the acquisition
described herein occurred on the dates indicated for any future period or at
any future date, and are therefore qualified in their entirety by reference to
and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial
statements of the Company and the historical financial statements of WPS
contained elsewhere herein.

The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations for the six months
ended May 31, 1999 and for the year ended November 30, 1998 assume that the
acquisition was consummated as of December 1, 1997.

Acquisitions

On May 25, 1999, the Company acquired from Bruce J. Grinnell, Jr. all of the
issued and outstanding common stock of WPS, a Colorado corporation, for a
purchase price of $2,662,495.  Of the total purchase price, $1,485,385 was paid
in cash and  $1,177,110 was in the form of a subordinated promissory note, ten
year amortizing bearing interest at 8% per annum.  The subordinated promissory
note is secured by a portion of the outstanding common stock of WPS.  The cash
portion of the purchase price was paid, in part, from additional borrowings on
the Company's existing line of credit from Norwest Bank Denver and with the
proceeds of a new $1,000,000 loan from Norwest Bank Denver which is repayable
over five years with interest at 8.25% per annum.  In addition, the Company
borrowed $442,504 against the line of credit with Norwest Bank Denver to
refinance WPS' bank debt.

The Company incurred direct costs, including legal and audit fees, totaling
$82,309.  The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting
by which the assets are valued at fair market value at the date of acquisition.

WPS is engaged in the business of distributing plumbing, irrigation and
sprinkler supplies.  It has locations in Boulder and Longmont, Colorado.  The
assets of WPS consist primarily of inventories, accounts receivables and the
equipment and trade fixtures in its two locations.  WPS leases the land and
buildings it occupies from partnerships of which Mr. Grinnell, former owner of
WPS, is a partner.  The Company intends to continue the business of WPS
substantially in accordance with past practices, with modification to fit the
Company's systems and procedures.  Mr. Grinnell did not continue his employment
with WPS.
