NOTE 1 - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The
Company revised the statement of operations reporting format to include
amortization expense relating to intangible assets as a selling, general and
administrative expense. Previously such amortization had been reported as a
separate expense caption after income from operations. In addition, certain
other prior year items have been reclassified to conform to the 1995
presentation.
 
     These statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position and results of operations. The financial statements included herein
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the latest annual report on Form 10-K.

     In 1994 the Company modified its interim fiscal reporting periods.  Each
period will end on the Saturday nearest to the end of the respective calendar
quarters for March, June and September.  This change will have no effect on the
annual reporting period which will continue to end on December 31.

NOTE 2 - During 1994, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $29.1
million related to a restructuring program. The status of the components of the
restructuring provision at the end of the period was:

  * The following amounts are included in the consolidated balance sheet at
September 30, 1995 under the captions:  "accrued restructuring and other" ($6.0
million), "other liabilities" ($3.3 million), property, plant and equipment"
(reduction of $1.4 million), inventory (reduction of $.1 million), "accounts
receivable" (reduction of $.5 million) and various other asset accounts
(reduction of $.1 milion).

     The Company has completed the consolidation or closure of six facilities
since the inception of the program. During the third quarter of 1995, the
Company wrote-off additional discontinued products and announced the closure of
an administrative office. These items were not included in the original
nonrecurring/restructuring charge recorded in 1994. Based on current estimates,
existing accruals are adequate to cover the above items because the estimated
cost to implement certain strategies was reduced or the initiatives were
cancelled. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations for further discussion.

NOTE 6 - The accumulated amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired
and other intangibles is $24,481,000 September 30, 1995 and $22,975,000 at
December 31, 1994.
                                                                               
NOTE 7 - During the third quarter of 1995, the Board of Directors amended
resolutions providing for severance payments in the event of a change in control
and subsequent termination, as defined, to certain designated employees of the
Company. At September 30, 1995 the maximum amount payable would be approximately
$6 million. Under the previous plan the maximum amount payable would have been
approximately $14 million at December 31, 1994.
 
NOTE 8 - The Company's loan agreements with its banks require a specified
leverage ratio, fixed charge ratio and tangible net worth levels as well as the
maintenance of certain other financial ratios, among its provisions. Under the
most restrictive of these covenants, at September 30, 1995 approximately
$1,600,000 of retained earnings was available for the payment of dividends in
1995.

NOTE 9 - Hoover Treated Wood Products, Inc. ("Hoover"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, is a defendant, along with many other parties, in a
number of commercial lawsuits, including a purported class action on behalf of
certain Maryland homeowners, alleging property damage caused by alleged defects
in certain pressure treated interior wood products. Hoover has not manufactured
or sold these products since August 1988. The Company is also a defendant in
some of these suits. The number of lawsuits pending, as of September 30, 1995,
as well as the number of lawsuits filed since 1993, have declined significantly
from earlier periods.

NOTE 9 - (Continued) -  Most of the suits and claims have been resolved by
dismissal or settlement.  In those suits that remain pending, direct defense
costs are being paid out of insurance proceeds.  Two actions have proceeded to
trial against Hoover and resulted in jury verdicts against it. In one of these
actions, judgment was entered in Hoover's favor by the court after a jury
verdict against it and the plaintiff's petition to appeal the judgment  entered
in Hoover's favor was denied.  In the other case, the judgment against Hoover
was vacated and the case was settled with proceeds from insurance settlements.

     Hoover and the Company have engaged in litigation with some of their
insurers regarding coverage for these lawsuits and claims. Hoover has settled
its coverage claims with a majority of its insurers and is negotiating
settlements with others. Hoover and the Company believe they have meritorious
claims for coverage from their remaining unsettled insurers and are seeking
declaratory judgments confirming such coverage. The proceeds from settled
insurance claims, along with the proceeds from a settlement of claims by Hoover
against certain suppliers of materials used by it in the production of treated
wood, are available for the settlement of the underlying property damage
actions, including the jury verdict now on appeal. The Company believes that
Hoover's remaining coverage disputes will be resolved within the next two years
on a satisfactory basis and a substantial amount of additional coverage will be
available to Hoover. In reaching this belief, it has analyzed Hoover's insurance
coverage, considered its history of successful settlements with primary and
excess insurers and consulted with counsel.

     Hoover and the Company are vigorously defending the underlying lawsuits
which cannot be resolved on a reasonable basis and believe that they have
meritorious defenses to those suits including, in the case of the Company, the
defense that it has been improperly joined, as it did not manufacture or market
the Hoover products at issue, and is not legally liable for the damage allegedly
caused by them.

     Hoover has recorded a receivable at September 30, 1995 (included in other
assets) for approximately $12.7 million for the estimated proceeds and
recoveries related to insurance matters discussed above and recorded an accrual
for the same amount (included in other liabilities) for its estimated cost to
resolve those matters not presently covered by existing settlements with
insurance carriers and suppliers.

     In evaluating the effect of the lawsuits, a number of factors have been
considered, including: the number and exposure posed by the pending lawsuits;
the significant decline in the number of lawsuits filed since 1993 and to date;
the availability of various legal defenses, including statutes of limitations;
the existence of settlement protocols; an agreement indemnifying Hoover as to
certain past and future claims; and Hoover's experience to date in settling with
its insurance companies and the likely availability of proceeds from additional
insurance. Based on its evaluation, the Company believes that the ultimate
resolution of the lawsuits and the insurance claims will not have a material
adverse effect upon the financial position of the Company.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Net sales for the third quarter of 1995 totaled $207.1 million, a decrease
of 5.4% over the same period in 1994. For the nine months ended September 30,
1995, net sales declined from $602.2 million to $566.9 million or 5.9% from the
comparison period in 1994. The primary cause of the decline in sales was the
Company's planned exit or de-emphasis of certain low margin products. Excluding
these products, net sales were essentially even for the 1995 comparison periods.
The Company's Windows, Doors and Siding businesses experienced a 7.5% increase
in sales for the quarterly comparison periods. This increase was largely offset
by lower dollar sales volume at the Company's Specialty Wood businesses which
continue to the impacted by low lumber prices and lower volume at the Company's 
Distribution businesses.

     Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of sales, was 18.1% in the third
quarter of 1995 compared with 21.3% for the same 1994 period. For the first nine
months of 1995 gross profit was 16.9% as compared to 19.8% for the first nine
months of 1994. The 1995 gross margins have been impacted by higher conversion
costs, including costs related to the restructuring program such as training and
moving costs, and new product manufacturing start-up costs. In addition, higher
commodity costs, particularly PVC resin and glass had a negative impact on gross
margins, as did declining lumber prices in the Company's Specialty Wood
businesses.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, was
14.9% in the third quarter of 1995 compared with 13.8% for the same 1994 period.
For the first nine months of 1995 selling, general and administrative expenses
were 15.5% as compared to 14.8% for the first nine months of 1994.  The increase
is primarily due to the absorption of such expenses over lower sales levels.  As
reported selling, general and administrative expenses were essentially even for 
the comparison periods.
 
     Interest expense declined approximately $1.0 million for the first nine
months of 1995 when compared to the first nine months of 1994 and was
approximately the same for the quarterly comparison periods. Lower interest
expense for the first nine months of 1995 resulted primarily from the conversion
of the Company's 10% debentures into common stock on March 25, 1994.

     Investment and other income expense, net was $1.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $.4 million for the same period a
year ago. The increase is primarily due to higher accounts receivable program
costs due to an increase in the amount of receivables sold under this program.

     The Company's effective tax rate in the third quarter of 1995 was 47.9%,
which compares with 34.9% in the third quarter of 1994. The effective tax rate
for first nine months of 1995 and 1994 was 54.0% and 27.7%, respectively. The
lower effective tax rates for the 1994 periods, which were used to compute the
tax benefit on the losses of those periods, are primarily due the higher
proportion of non-deductible amortization of goodwill to loss before income
taxes and to certain state tax benefits related to the nonrecurring charge,
which in accordance with the criteria set forth in Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 109, were not recognized. The higher effective tax
rates for the 1995 periods are affected by the higher proportion of non-
deductible amortization of goodwill as compared to income before taxes.
Furthermore, both nine month periods reflect revisions to the estimated annual
rate which is expected to be applicable for the year.

Results of Operations (Continued)
- ---------------------------------

     During 1994 the Company commenced a restructuring program designed to
improve its cost structure primarily through facilities consolidations and
closures, abandonment of certain information systems and workforce reductions
and accrued $29.1 million for these planned actions. Implementation of several
initiatives included in the restructuring program have been delayed or have
resulted in higher costs than originally anticipated. As a result the Company
does not expect to realize the majority of the savings from full implementation
of the restructuring program until 1996 and thereafter. As previously disclosed,
however, there can be no assurance that the Company will realize any significant
future savings.

     As a result of the aforementioned factors, the Company experienced lower
levels of operating and net income for the quarterly and nine month comparison
periods.

     The Company is taking a number of steps to improve operating results in the
balance of 1995 and beyond. These actions include: implementation of a new
information system at the Company's window businesses; aggressive procurement
initiatives, particularly with regard to PVC resin and glass; elimination of
costly consulting fees; reduction of administrative expenses; and the creation
and implementation of new employee productivity programs.

     As a result of the actions outlined above, the Company believes that
operating results for the next twelve months will show improvement from the
comparison period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Company used $9.4 million in cash from operations during the first nine
months of 1995 principally as a result of costs related to restructuring
activities.

     Significant investing activities during the first nine months of 1995
include capital expenditures of $23.3 million primarily incurred in the
Company's Windows, Doors and Siding subsidiaries and costs associated with the
Company's new information system.

     Significant financing activities in the first nine months of 1995 related
to the net increase in revolving credit borrowings of $22.4 million used
principally to finance the working capital and capital expenditures of the
Company.

     The Company's current ratio improved to 2.7 to 1 at September 30, 1995
compared to 2.5 at December 31, 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
- -------------------------------------------

     The Company has a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of twelve
banks which provides financing through February 1999. Availability under this
facility was approximately $55 million at September 30, 1995.

     The Company anticipates that internally generated funds from operations,
existing cash balances and the Company's existing credit facility should be
sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements.
