NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
B & W Metal Fabricators, Inc. was incorporated on January 14, 1978 in the state
of North Carolina. The Company's principal business activity is to fabricate and
bend sheet metal for equipment used in the construction and farming industry.
The Company grants credit on sales of its products, which are sold directly to
various enterprises located in the United States. The Company's fiscal year ends
on December 31. Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are
presented below.
(B) USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(C) TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS
Temporary investments consist of certificates of deposit with original
maturities from three months to one year. These investments are stated at cost
which approximates market.
(D) INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a
first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.
(E) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated over the estimated useful
lives of the respective assets using accelerated methods.
(F) INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences between financial
statement and income tax reporting. Temporary differences are differences
between the amounts of assets and liabilities reported for financial statement
purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary
differences that will be deductible in future years' tax returns and for
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by
a valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that some or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities are
recognized for temporary differences that will be taxable in future years' tax
returns.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(G) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company considers the recorded value of its financial assets and
liabilities, which consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, notes payable, and long-term debt, to approximate the fair value of
the respective assets and liabilities.
(H) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is computed under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which was adopted
retroactively by the Company at December 31, 1997. Amounts reported as earnings
per share for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 reflect the earnings
available to stockholders for the year divided by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the year. The Company has no dilutive
securities as defined under SFAS No. 128, therefore, a single earnings per share
amount is presented in the financial statements.
NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES
Inventories at December 31, 1997 and 1996 consist of the following:
