              Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(1) Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has lines of credit with a bank for an aggregate $3,350,000 with
an interest rate of .75 percent above prime, payable monthly.  At June
30,1995, $1,971,340 was owed under the lines of credit compared to $1,542,898
at March 31, 1995.  The line of credit agreements contain restrictive
covenants which require maintenance of working capital and other financial
ratios, prohibit the payment of dividends and have certain other limitations.
The Company was in compliance with these restrictive covenants as of June
30, 1995.

Accounts receivable (before allowance for doubtful accounts) at June 30, 1995
were $2,976,239 compared to $2,635,725 at March 31, 1995.  This 12.9%
increase is primarily due to an increase in sales for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 from the three months ended March 31, 1995 of $1,130,667 or
21.1%.

The current ratio has dropped slightly during the quarter ended June 30,1995
to 1.11:1 from 1.13:1 at March 31, 1995.  The Company believes its current
efforts to control costs and spending along with better management of its
accounts payable will help to improve the current ratio.

The Company has made capital additions of $210,647 in the three months ended
June 30, 1995.  The Company anticipates purchases to remain constant
throughout the rest of fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.

(2) Results of Operation

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 1995 decreased by 6%  from the same
three month period in 1994.   This decrease is due to severe weather
conditions across the country which affected the building industry during the
three months ended June 30, 1995.

Cost of sales as a percent of sales increased for the three months ended June
30, 1995 to 85.6%  from 76.5% for the same period in 1994.  This increase is
due to higher than anticipated labor and materials cost related to the
introduction of new products into manufacturing.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were 15.3% of sales for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to 16.8% for the same period in
1994.  This decrease was due to cost cutting attempts on the part of
management including a decrease from the prior year to bonus' which are tied
to net income.

Interest expense as a percent of sales increased slightly by .2% in the three
months ended June 30, 1995 from the same period for 1994.  This increase is
due primarily to increased borrowings on a higher available line of credit
which was first negotiated during the quarter ended December 31, 1994.
Borrowing has increased to fund the higher materials and labor costs
experienced during the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

Net income decreased by 4.7% of sales for the three months ended June 30,
1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  This decrease is due to the lower
sales and higher cost of goods sold experienced during the three months ended
June 30, 1995
