            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 $2,068,000  and $1,979,000
were  recorded  for the three  month  periods  ended  March  31,  1998 and 1997,
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 of  $11,118,000  which is being  amortized  over 25
years. The acquisitions of Rowe Machinery & Automation,  Inc., and Omega Flex,
Inc. in 1996 resulted in goodwill of $7,729,000 which is being amortized over 25
years. The acquisition of Hill Engineering,  Inc. on January 31, 1997,  resulted
in goodwill of $2,892,000  which is being  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.

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.  The  Agreement  was
recently  renewed on a one year basis  extending  through  April 30,  1999.  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 matured and were paid off on
March 1, 1998. The notes bore interest at 5.53% per annum.

         Other bonds and notes payable include  $670,000 in secured  obligations
assumed in connection with the purchase of Hill Engineering, Inc. on January 31,
1997.

 Note 4 - Earnings Per Common Share

         Basic  earnings  per share were  computed  using the  weighted  average
number of common shares outstanding. Common stock options were considered in the
computation of diluted earnings.


Note 5 - Subsequent Event

         On April 29, 1998 the  Company,  through a newly  established  Canadian
subsidiary,  acquired 100% of the capital stock of Ruscio  Brothers  Refractory,
Ltd.  (RBR) and 988721 Ontario Inc. (988721) of  Mississauga,Ontario, Canada 
for approximately $4.3 million CA. RBR and 988721 operate under the
name Ruscio Brothers  Industries (RBI). RBI manufactures  copper-finned  boilers
and water  heaters  which are  distributed  primarily  in Canada.  Copper-finned
boilers are complementary to the Company's other boiler products and the Company
expects that its  distribution  network in the United States will  substantially
expand RBI's sales.


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 reduced  relative to the first  quarter of 1997,  by  $3,156,000 or
5.9%.  HVAC sales were adversely  effected by the relatively mild winter of 1998
as well as by changes in the  Company's  traditional  deferred  billing  program
which resulted in the  postponement of certain  shipments from the first quarter
to the  third  quarter  of 1998.  Gross  profit  margins  for the  HVAC  segment
decreased slightly,  from 28.0% to 27.3%.  Operating income for this segment was
accordingly  reduced from  $4,656,000 in the first quarter of 1997 to $3,434,000
in the first quarter of 1998.

         Total  Revenues  in  the  Company's  Metal  Products  segment  were  up
significantly during the first quarter of 1998 ($22,085,000 versus $18,529,000),
principally as a result of substantial  revenue growth in the segment's National
Northeast and Omega-Flex units.  National  Northeast has continued to expand its
capabilities as a high end  manufacturer  of thermal heat sinks.  Omega-Flex has
begun  to enjoy  the  fruits  of  significant  market  development  and  product
development  costs  incurred  in 1996 and 1997  relative  to it's  Trac-Pipe(TM)
flexible gas piping product,  the demand for which has grown substantially since
the product's  introduction in 1997. As a result of these factors,  gross profit
margins  improved  significantly,  from  23.8% to 28.5%,  and  operating  income
increased from $1,190,000 to $2,169,000.

         The Company's  computer  systems  segment  reported  slightly  improved
revenues,  but slightly reduced Gross Profit margins and, as a result,  slightly
reduced operating income.

         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 19.71% to 18.05%.

         Operating  income for the first  quarter  of 1997 for the  Company as a
whole,  increased by $123,000 or 2.1%  reflecting the net effects of the factors
mentioned above.

         The  Company's  total  debt  (long-term  debt plus  current  portion of
long-term  debt) was  relatively  unchanged  during the quarter  ended March 31,
1998.  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.
