  NOTE 3 - Loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average
  number of shares outstanding during each of the periods.  Common stock
  equivalents were not used because the results would be anti-dilutive.

       In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share",
  which is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual
  periods ending after December 15, 1997.  Early adoption of the new standard is
  not permitted.  The new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings
  per share and requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share
  together with disclosure of how the per share amounts were computed.  The new
  standard would have had no effect on the Company's first quarter loss per 
  share.

  NOTE 5 - The accumulated amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired
  and other intangible assets are $22,930,000 at March 31, 1997 and $22,357,000
  at December 31, 1996.

  NOTE 6 - 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, 1997 approximately
  $2,500,000 of retained earnings was available for the payment of dividends in
  1997.

  NOTE 7 - Hoover Treated Wood Products, Inc. ("Hoover"), a wholly-owned
  subsidiary of Ply Gem Industries, Inc. ("Ply Gem"), is a defendant in a number
  of lawsuits alleging 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 has declined
  significantly from earlier periods.  Most of the suits have been resolved by
  dismissal or settlement with settlements being paid out of insurance proceeds
  or other third party recoveries.  Hoover and Ply Gem are vigorously defending
  the suits which remain pending and defense and indemnity costs are being paid
  out of insurance proceeds and proceeds from a settlement by Hoover with
  suppliers of material used in the production of interior treated wood
  products.

       Hoover and Ply Gem have engaged in coverage litigation with their
  insurers and have settled their coverage claims with a majority of the
  insurers.  Ply Gem believes that the remaining coverage disputes will be
  resolved 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 and the status of the coverage
  litigation, considered its history of settlements with primary and excess
  insurers and consulted with counsel.

       Hoover has recorded a receivable at March 31, 1997 for approximately $8.5
  million for the estimated proceeds and recoveries related to insurance matters
  discussed above and recorded an accrual for the same amount for its estimated
  cost to resolve those matters not presently covered by existing settlements
  with insurance carriers and suppliers.

 NOTE 7 - CONTINUED

       In evaluating the effect of the lawsuits, a number of factors have been
 considered, including, the litigation history, the significant decline in the
 number of cases, the availability of various legal defenses 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.

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

       Net sales for first quarter of 1997 were $162.8 million, an increase of
 approximately 15% over 1996 first quarter sales of $142.0 million.  The sales
 growth was driven by strong demand for the Company's products, particularly in
 its Windows, Doors and Siding and Specialty Woods businesses.  Approximately
 three-quarters of the consolidated sales growth was attributed to unit volume
 increases and the remainder to increases in average selling prices.  Sales for
 the first quarter of 1996 were impacted by a harsh winter.

       Gross margins increased to 16.5% in 1997 from 14.4% in 1996 for the
 quarterly comparison periods.  Gross profit for the first quarter of 1997
 increased 31% to $26.8 million, as compared to prior year's gross profit of
 $20.5 million.  Substantially all of the Company's businesses reported higher
 gross profit for the quarterly comparison periods.  The significant improvement
 resulted primarily from improved productivity, lower unit freight costs and
 product mix.

       Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net
 sales, were 16.3% for the first three months of 1997, approximately even with
 the comparison quarter.

       The Company recorded first quarter 1997 income from operations of
 $239,000 compared with an operating loss of $2.9 million reported in the first
 quarter of 1996.  The significant improvement in income from operations in 1997
 resulted primarily from revenue growth and improved operating results in the
 Company's businesses.

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

       The Company used $26.9 million in cash from operations during the first
 quarter of 1997 compared to $21.0 million in the corresponding 1996 period.
 The usage of cash was due to a planned inventory increase at one of the
 Company's subsidiaries in anticipation of strong demand for its products in the
 second and third quarters of 1997.

       Significant investing activities in the first quarter of 1997 include
 capital expenditures of $7.0 million primarily for expanded capacity in one of
 the Company's Windows, Doors and Siding subsidiaries. Significant first quarter
 1997 financing activities related to the net increase in revolving credit
 borrowings of $31.2 million used principally to finance the seasonal working
 capital requirements and capital expenditures of the Company.

       The Company's current ratio improved to 2.7 to 1 at March 31, 1997
 compared to 2.3 to 1 at December 31, 1996.

       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 $54 million at March 31, 1997.

       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.
