NOTE 1 - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange

million related to a restructuring program.  The status of the components of the

NOTE 6 - The accumulated amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired
and other intangible assets are $20,535,000 at March 31, 1996 and $19,917,000 at
December 31, 1995.

NOTE 7 - The Company's loan agreements with its banks require the Company to
maintain a specified leverage ratio, fixed charge ratio and tangible net worth
levels and maintain certain financial ratios, among its provisions.  Under the
most restrictive of these covenants, at March 31, 1996 approximately $2,400,000
of retained earnings was available for the payment of dividends in 1996.

NOTE 8- Hoover Treated Wood Products, Inc.("Hoover"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company, is a defendant, in a number of commercial lawsuits, 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 number of lawsuits pending, as of March 31, 1996 as well as the number
of lawsuits filed since 1993 have declined significantly from earlier periods.
Most of the suits and claims have been resolved by dismissal or settlement. A
purported class action on behalf of certain Maryland homeowners was dismissed in
November, 1995 when the Maryland Court of Appeals, the State's highest court,
found that the homeowners had no viable claims against Hoover. 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.  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.

                                  (Unaudited)


   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 March 31, 1996 (included in other assets)
for approximately $10.9 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 in 1994 and 1995; 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
effect upon the financial position of the Company.

and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected.  Readers are cautioned

also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the
Company, in this report, as well as the Company's periodic reports on Forms 10-
K, 10-Q and 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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

   Net sales for the first quarter of 1996 were approximately $142.0 million
compared to $162.9 million for the corresponding 1995 period. The 12.8% decline
was primarily due to lower unit volume in the Company's Windows, Doors and
Siding subsidiaries caused by an unusually harsh winter, particularly in the
regions of the United States which are the primary markets for the Company's
exterior building products. Approximately one-third of the decline in net sales
was due to the Company's plan exit or de-emphasis of certain low margin
products.

   Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of net sales, was 14.4% for the first
quarter of 1996 compared to 15.3% for the corresponding period in 1995.  The
lower margins were due primarily to product mix and competitive pricing issues
in the Company's Distribution businesses offset somewhat by lower raw material
costs, particularly PVC resin.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales,
were 16.5% for the first quarter of 1996 as compared to 16.8% for the
corresponding 1995 period. In absolute dollars, selling, general and
administrative expenses declined $4.0 million for the comparison periods.
In general, the improvement primarily reflects the efforts by the Company to 
realign its cost structure by reducing administrative costs and managing 
expense growth relative to sales growth. Specifically the improvement is
primarily due to lower employment costs related in part to the reduction in work
force and lower incentive compensation expense.

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

   The Company used $21.0 million in cash from operations during the first
quarter of 1996 compared to $13.7 million in the corresponding 1995 period. The
usage of cash is due to seasonal working capital needs.  Significant
investing activities in the first quarter of 1996 include capital expenditures
of $3.9 million primarily incurred by the Company's Windows, Doors and Siding
subsidiaries.  Significant first quarter 1996 financing activities related to
the net increase in revolving credit borrowings of $26.4 million used
principally to finance the working capital requirements and capital expenditures
of the Company as well as lower outstandings under the Company's accounts 
receivable program.

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

   The Company's current ratio improved to 3.2 to 1 at March 31, 1996 compared
to 2.8 to 1 at December 31, 1995.

   The Company has a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of eleven banks
which provides financing through February 1999.  Availability under this
facility was approximately $30 million at March 31, 1996.

   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 over the next twelve months.
