              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
     prepared by the Company, 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, although the
     Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
     not misleading. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated
     financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly
     the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 1996 and the results
     of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996
     and 1995. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The
     results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended
     December 31, 1996. The accounting policies continue unchanged from December
     31, 1995. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial
     Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on

                             (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED

4.   On December 7, 1994, the Company closed a $9,700 industrial revenue bond
     transaction with the Industrial Development Authority ("IDA") of
     Mecklenburg County, Virginia, for the purpose of financing its new
     manufacturing facility located in Virginia. The bonds bear interest at a
     variable rate which averaged 3.6% for the first quarter of 1996 compared to
     4.1% for the first quarter of 1995. Additionally, the Company pays a .25%
     remarketing fee on the bond balance. The bonds mature December 1, 2004 and
     are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption of $970 per year and are
     subject to mandatory redemption under certain circumstances. The Company
     has secured its obligation with respect to the IDA bonds through the
     issuance of a letter of credit. The carrying amount of the bonds is assumed
     to approximate fair value due to the bonds' variable rate structure. The
     balance of the IDA bonds including current portion was $8,730 at March 31,
     1996 and December 31, 1995.

     The balance in the restricted cash account is reduced as capital
     expenditures are made related to the Virginia plant. This balance was
     $1,156 as of March 31, 1996 and $4,100 as of December 31, 1995. These funds
     are invested in highly liquid short-term investments.

5.   On May 10, 1995, the Company and its lenders amended its revolving credit
     facility and term loans to increase the maximum borrowings under the
     revolver to $35 million, to lower the interest rate to prime plus 1% or
     LIBOR plus 2.5% and to reduce certain other fees associated with this
     facility. Also as part of this agreement, the outstanding principal
     ($4,167) of the term loan was repaid on that date from cash provided by
     operations. There were no borrowings under the revoler at March 31, 1996.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                 MARCH 31, 1996

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 decreased 23% to $48.2 million
from $62.3 million in the same period a year ago. Gross margins decreased to
15.6% in the current quarter compared to 17.3% in the corresponding quarter of
1995 primarily as a result of the lower net sales which was caused by a reduced
backlog coming into the year and the unusually severe winter weather in most
U.S. markets causing customers to delay shipment of their orders as construction
sites were not yet ready. Backlog at March 31, 1996 increased 28% to
approximately $72.0 million from $56.3 million at the end of 1995. Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased by 10% to $5.6 million in the
first quarter of 1996 from $6.2 million in the first quarter of 1995 as a result
of cost reductions implemented by the Company in response to the lower first
quarter volume. As a percent of sales these expenses were 12% in 1996 compared
to 10% in the same period of 1995. Operating income declined 59% to $1.8 million
in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $4.5 million in the same quarter of
1995. The Company had net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
of $.2 million compared to net interest expense of $.1 for the comparable period
in 1995. This decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from the repayment
on May 10, 1995 of the Company's term loan. In addition to earning interest
income on its excess cash, the Company is currently earning interest on the
unused proceeds from its Industrial Revenue Bond transaction, which was closed
on December 7, 1994 in order to provide the financing for the construction of
its manufacturing facility in Virginia. These unused proceeds are invested in
highly liquid short-term investments and are included on the accompanying
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Restricted Cash. Net income for the
current quarter decreased 55% to $1.2 million from $2.7 million in the first
quarter of last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has historically funded its operations from cash flow from
operations, bank borrowings and sales of its debt and equity securities.

Net cash (used for) provided by operations was ($2.3) million in the first
quarter of 1996 compared to $4.5 million in the first quarter of 1995. The
decrease for 1996 resulted primarily from decreased operating income and a
reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities from their year-end levels
as a result of the lower volume during the quarter.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and $.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995.
In the 1996 period, the Company applied $2.9 million of the proceeds of the
Industrial Revenue Bonds which were included in restricted cash at the beginning
of the year to the capital expenditures made for the Virginia manufacturing
facility. This amount exceeds total capital expenditures of $2.1 million for the
quarter as part of it represents a drawdown of the restricted cash balance for
expenditures made in late 1995. The Company increased its

                                       7

                                   (CONTINUED)

investment in its joint venture in the People's Republic of China by $1.5
million during the first quarter of 1996 bringing its total capital investment
in the joint venture to $2.4 million. In 1995, the Company applied $2.6 million
of the restricted cash to capital expenditures made for the Virginia facility.
This amount exceeded total capital expenditures of $1.9 million for the quarter
as part of it represented a drawdown of the restriced cash balance for
expenditures made in late 1994.

Net cash used for financing activities was $2.4 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 compared to $.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. In
1996, this was primarily the result of the repurchase in the open market of
110,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the Board of Directors
authorization made on October 3, 1995 to repurchase up to 300,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock in the open market. The repurchase was made from excess
cash on hand. In 1995, long-term debt repayments of $.2 million were funded by
cash provided by operating activities.

The Company has budgeted approximately $11.7 million in capital expenditures in
1996 consisting of $5.5 million in existing facilities, primarily for machinery
and equipment, $3.5 million to increase capacity at its Polymer Coil Coaters
facility, and $2.7 million to complete the Virginia manufacturing facility
expansion and the Eufaula office expansion. The Company expects to be able to
fund its capital expenditures with cash provided by operations, the Industrial
Revenue Bonds for the Virginia facility, and from borrowings under its revolving
credit facility.

At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Company's outstanding debt
(including current portion) was $8.7 million of Industrial Revenue Bonds which
are subject to mandatory sinking fund requirements of approximately $1.0 million
per year through December 1, 2004. There was no balance outstanding under the
revolving credit facility under which the Company may borrow up to $25 million.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations and borrowings under
the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet its working capital and
capital expenditure needs for the forseeable future. There can be no assurance
that liquidity would not be impacted by a decline in general economic conditions
and higher interest rates which would affect the Company's ability to obtain
external financing.
