                                  MESTEK, INC.

            NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

         The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the
financial  statements  include all material  adjustments,  consisting  solely of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
financial  position,  results of operations and cash flows.  The results of this
interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

Inventories

         Inventories  are  valued  at the  lower  of  cost  or  market.  Cost of
inventories is determined principally by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.

Income Taxes

         Provisions  for income tax in the amounts of $1,979,000  and $2,138,000
were  recorded  for the three  month  periods  ended  March  31,  1997 and 1996,
respectively.

Goodwill

         The  Company  amortizes  Goodwill on the  straight  line basis over the
estimated  period to be  benefitted.  The  acquisitions  of  National  Northeast
Corporation,  National Southeast Aluminum Corporation, and Heat Exchangers, Inc.
in 1995 resulted in goodwill,  (adjusted for  additional  consideration  paid as
explained more fully in Note 2) of  $11,118,000  which will be amortized over 25
years. The acquisitions of Rowe Machinery and Automation,  Inc., and Omega Flex,
Inc.  in 1996,  as more fully  described  in Note 2,  resulted  in  goodwill  of
$7,729,000  which  will be  amortized  over 25 years.  The  acquisition  of Hill
Engineering,  Inc.  on January  31,  1997,  as more fully  described  in Note 2,
resulted in goodwill of $2,892,000  which will be amortized  over 25 years.  The
Company  continually  evaluates the carrying value of goodwill.  Any impairments
would be recognized when the expected  future  operating cash flows derived from
such goodwill is less than their carrying value.

Reclassification

         Reclassifications  are made periodically to previously issued financial
statements to conform with the current year presentation.

Note 2 - Business Acquisitions

         On January  31,  1997,  the Company  acquired  91.01% of the issued and
outstanding common stock of Hill Engineering, Inc. of Villa Park, Illinois and 
Danville Kentucky (Hill).  Hill is a leading producer of precision tools and 
dies for the gasket manufacturing and roll-forming industries and other 
specialty equipment.  The purchase price paid for the acquired stock was $5.1 
million.

         On January 2, 1997, the Company's  National  Northeast  subsidiary paid
$4,028,000  in additional  consideration  related to the purchase on October 30,
1995 of approximately  83% of the issued and outstanding  voting common stock of
National Northeast  Corporation and National Southeast  Corporation  (National).
This payment completes the Company's acquisition of National.

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

Revolving Loan Agreement - The Company has a Revolving Loan Agreement and Letter
of Credit  Facility  (the  Agreement)  with a commercial  bank.  The  Agreement,
provides $55 million of unsecured revolving and $10 million of standby letter of
credit capacity. Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest at a floating rate
based on the bank's prime rate less 1.00% or, at the discretion of the borrower,
LIBOR plus a quoted market factor or, alternatively,  in lieu of the prime based
rate, a rate based on the overnight  Federal Funds Rate.  Management  expects to
renew the Agreement on a one year basis during the second  quarter of 1997.  The
Revolving Loan Agreement  contains  financial  covenants  which require that the
Company maintain certain current ratios, working capital amounts,  capital bases
and leverage  ratios.  This Agreement also contains  restrictions  regarding the
creation of indebtedness, the occurrence of mergers or consolidations,  the sale
of  subsidiary  stock,  and the  payment  of  dividends  in excess of 50% of net
income.
         On April 5, 1996 the  Company  borrowed  15,000,000  from a  commercial
insurance company on an unsecured basis, executing a Note Purchase Agreement and
the related Senior Notes,  (The Notes).  The Notes mature March 1, 1998 and bear
interest at 5.53%.  The Note Purchase  Agreement  contains a number of financial
covenants which limit the Company's overall debt, its dividends, and, in certain
circumstances,  its  ability to effect  acquisitions  and/or  divestitures.  The
Company's  management  does not believe that these  limitations  will materially
affect the Company's operations or future strategic plans.

         Other bonds and notes payable include  $670,000 in secured  obligations
assumed in  connection  with the purchase of Hill on January 31,  1997,  as more
fully described in Note 2.

 Note 5 - Earnings Per Common Share

         Earnings per share were computed  using the weighted  average number of
common shares outstanding.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operation

         Total  Revenues in the Company's  HVAC segment during the first quarter
of 1997 were  increased  relative to the first quarter of 1996, by $2,016,000 or
3.9% from  $50,982,000 to $52,998,000.  Significantly  improved sales in certain
residential  and commercial  hydronic  products were offset  somewhat by reduced
sales in the Company's Air Distribution  division.  Gross profit margins for the
HVAC segment were decreased slightly,  from 27.5% to 27.0%. Operating income for
this segment was up from  $2,875,000  in the first quarter of 1996 to $3,795,000
in the  first  quarter  of 1997  reflecting  reduced  selling  and  general  and
administrative  costs as well as the effects mentioned above.  (Gross Profit and
Operating Income for 1996 for this segment have been adjusted to reflect certain
reclassifications for purposes of comparability).

         Total  Revenues  in  the  Company's  Metal  Products  segment  were  up
significantly  during the first quarter of 1997 ($18,236,000 versus $11,165,000)
reflecting  the effect of "full  quarter"  results for its Omega and Rowe units,
which were acquired on February 2, 1996 and February 5, 1996, respectively,  and
the effect of Dahlstrom Industries,  Inc., acquired on August 30, 1996, and Hill
Engineering,  Inc.,  acquired on January 31,  1997.  Gross  profit  margins were
reduced  slightly,  from 27.5% to 25.1%,  and operating  income decreased from
$1,333,000 to $1,218,000 due to significant product development costs incurred
by Omega and relocation and other transitional costs incurred by Rowe.

         The  Company's  computer  systems  segment  reported  slightly  reduced
Revenues, Gross Profit margins and Operating income figures.

         For the Company as a whole,  Selling,  General and Administrative,  and
Engineering  costs,  taken  together as a  percentage  of Total  Revenues,  were
slightly   reduced  from  20.8%  to  19.7%.   (Sales  Expense  and  General  and
Administrative  Expense  for 1996,  as reported  in the  accompanying  financial
statements, have been adjusted to reflect certain reclassifications for purposes
of comparability).

         Operating  income for the first  quarter  of 1997 for the  Company as a
whole,  increased by $598,000 or 11.9% reflecting the various effects  mentioned
above.

         Pretax income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 included an $854,000
nonrecurring  gain on the  sale of the  Company's  idle  Scranton,  Pennsylvania
plant.  Earnings per share was  increased by $.06 in that quarter as a result of
this transaction. .
         The  Company's  total  debt  (long-term  debt plus  current  portion of
long-term debt) increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 by $3,719,000,
principally  due  to the  combined  effect  of  the  Hill  acquisition  and  the
additional purchase price paid in relation to National Northeast,  Inc., as more
fully explained in Note 2 to the Financial  Statements.  Management  regards the
Company's current capital structure and banking  relationships as fully adequate
to meet  foreseeable  future  needs.  The Company has not paid  dividends on its
common stock since 1979.
