INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Plan Administrator
Met-Coil Retirement Plan
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Met-Coil Retirement Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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 net assets available for benefits of Met-Coil
Retirement Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of (1) assets
held for investment purposes and (2) reportable transactions as of and for the
year ended December 31, 1998 are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the statements of net assets
available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits is
presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available and changes in net assets available of each fund. The
supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

MET-COIL RETIREMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting: The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are
prepared on the accrual basis.
Valuation of investments: Investments in corporate common stocks are stated at
fair value based on closing sales prices reported on recognized securities
exchanges on the last business day of the year. Mutual funds are valued at
quoted market prices which represent the net asset values of shares held by the
Plan at year end. Quoted market prices are used to value the underlying assets
of the collective trust accounts. The amounts presented represent the Plan's
share of these collective accounts. Participant loans are valued at cost plus
accrued interest, which approximates fair value.
Accounting estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires plan management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported value of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Payment of benefits: Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.
NOTE 2. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following description of the Met-Coil Retirement Plan (the "Plan") provides
only general information. Participants should refer to the plan document for a
more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
General: The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all of
the employees of Met-Coil Systems Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company")
who have completed six months of service and are age 21 or older. The Plan is
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA").
Contributions: Participants may contribute up to 15% of their annual wages
before bonuses and commissions. Participants may change their contribution
percentage at the end of any calendar quarter and also for the seven-day period
following receipt of their quarterly contribution statement.
The Company contributes to the Plan an amount equal to 2% of eligible employee
compensation. In addition, the Company matches 100% of the first 3% of
compensation contributed as an elective deferral by a participant. The Company
makes no contributions for the Lockformer Company bargaining unit employees.
Iowa Precision Industries, Inc. bargaining unit employees receive employer
contributions, as specified in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Additional
amounts may be contributed at the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors.

<PAGE> 18
MET-COIL RETIREMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 2. PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
Employee contributions are invested in accordance with instructions of the
participants. Prior to January 1, 1996, employer contributions were used to
purchase Company stock; after January 1, 1996, employer contributions are
invested in the Balanced Fund.
Participant accounts: Each participant's account is credited with the
participant's contributions and, where applicable, an allocation of (a) the
Company's contribution and (b) plan earnings. Allocations are based on
participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a
participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
participant's account.
Vesting: Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions
plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the remainder of their accounts is
based on years of continuous service. A participant is 100% vested after six
years of credited service. Nonvested amounts are forfeited upon termination and
are used to fund the employer contribution.
Investment options: Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct
employee contributions in 10% increments to any one or more of the following
funds:
Balanced Fund: The fund invests primarily in large capitalization,
high-quality common stocks and in fixed income senior securities rated within
the first four highest categories established by Moody's Investors Service or
Standard & Poor's Corporation.
International Equity Fund: The fund invests primarily in equity securities
of companies domiciled outside the United States.
Large Cap Value Equity Fund: The fund invests primarily in common stock of
issuers with total market capitalization of $1 billion or greater at the time
of purchase.
Large Cap Growth Equity Fund: The fund invests primarily in common stock of
issurers with total market capitalization of $1 billion or greater at the
time of purchase.
Small Cap Growth Equity Fund: The fund invests primarily in common stocks of
companies with total market capitalization less than $1 billion at the time
of purchase.
Stable Value Fund: The fund has two portfolios of investment contracts issued
by high quality life insurance and investment companies; one collective trust
fund is managed by Firstar Trust Co. and the other is managed by Smith Barney
Corporate Trust Co. The fund may also invest in units of other guaranteed
investment contract collective funds.

NOTE 2. PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
Loans to participants: Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a
minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of
their vested account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer
between the investment funds designated by the participant and the loan account.
Loan terms range from 1 to 5 years. The loans are secured by the balance in the
participant's account and bear interest at the prime rate at the date of the
loan, plus 1%. Principal and interest is paid through payroll deductions.
Payment of benefits: Upon termination of service, a participant receives a
lump-sum amount equal to the value of his or her account.
Administrative costs: Certain administrative costs of the Plan are paid by the
Company and are not reflected in the financial statements of the Plan.
Administrative costs paid by the Plan are reported as a reduction of investment
income.

NOTE 5. PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event of plan
termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts and the
trust will continue in effect until all net assets are distributed in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan.
NOTE 6. TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter
dated August 15, 1995, that the Plan and related trust are designed in
accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan
has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan
management believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
