              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

                                   (UNAUDITED)

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 June 30, 1996 and the results
     of its operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June
     30, 1996 and 1995. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
     The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 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 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

3.   Included in accrued liabilities are estimated insurance claims for the
     self-insured portion of workers' compensation, property and casualty, and
     health insurance plans totaling $3,177 and $3,483 at June 30, 1996 and
     December 31, 1995, respectively.

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 3.9% and 3.8% for the second quarter and first
     half of 1996, respectively, compared to 4.5% and 4.3% for the second
     quarter and first half of 1995, respectively. 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 June 30, 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
     $1,085 as of June 30, 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 borrowing under the
     Revolver, 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. The Loan Agreement,
     as currently in effect, provides the Company with a $34 million revolving
     credit facility. At June 30, 1996 borrowings under the Revolver were
     $3,363. There were no borrowings under the Revolver at December 31, 1995.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                  JUNE 30, 1996

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 decreased 2% to $66.3 million from
$67.8 million in the same period a year ago. Gross margins declined to 17.5% in
the current quarter compared to 18.9% in the corresponding quarter of 1995
primarily as a result of lower selling prices. Backlog at June 30, 1996 was
$92.3 million, up 64% from its December 31, 1995 level and up 3% over backlog at
June 30, 1995. The Company implemented a strategy to be market and price
aggressive during the first half of 1996 in order to replenish the backlog;
effective July 1, 1996 the Company implemented a price increase. Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased by 8% to $5.9 million in the
second quarter of 1996 from $6.4 million in the second quarter of 1995 and have
also decreased as a percent of sales. This decrease resulted from the Company's
plan to mitigate the impact of reduced selling prices by reducing costs wherever
possible without adversely affecting its long-term growth objectives. Operating
income declined 11% to $5.7 million in the second quarter of 1996 compared to
$6.4 million in the second quarter of 1995. The Company had negligible interest
income/expense for the second quarter of both 1996 and 1995. Net income for the
current quarter was $3.5 million compared to $4.0 million in the second quarter
of last year.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased 12% to $114.5 million
from $130.1 million in the first half of 1995. Gross margins decreased to 16.7%
from 18.1% in the comparable period of 1995 primarily as a result of the lower
sales experienced in the first quarter of 1996 which was caused by a reduced
backlog coming into the year and the unusually severe winter weather in most US
markets causing customers to delay shipment of their orders as construction
sites were not yet ready. Operating income in the first half of 1996 decreased
31% to $7.5 million from $10.9 million for the same period last year. Net
interest for the first six months of 1996 was income of $.2 million compared to
net interest expense of $.1 million in the first half of 1995. This decrease in
interest expense resulted primarily from the repayment on May 10, 1995 of the
Company's term loan. Net income for the first six months of 1996 decreased to
$4.7 million from $6.7 million in the same period 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.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                   (CONTINUED)

Net cash (used for) provided by operating activities was ($.6) million in the
first half of 1996 compared to $5.5 million in the first half of 1995. The
decrease for 1996 resulted primarily from decreased operating income and an
increase in working capital necessary to support the current increasing sales
volume.

Net cash used for investing activities was $3.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. In the
1996 period, the Company applied $3.0 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.
The Company also increased its investment in its joint venture in the People's
Republic of China by $2.5 million during the first half of 1996 bringing its
total capital investment in the joint venture to $3.4 million. Additions to
plant, property and equipment totaled $4.7 million for the first half of 1996.
In the 1995 period, the Company applied $3.1 million of the proceeds of the
Industrial Revenue Bonds to the capital expenditures made for the Virginia
manufacturing facility. Additions to plant, property and equipment were $5.9
million in the 1995 period.

Net cash used for financing activities was $13.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. In
1996, this was primarily the result of the $17.4 million repurchase in the open
market of 634,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the Board of
Directors authorization to repurchase up to 800,000 such shares. The repurchase
was made from excess cash on hand and proceeds from the revolver. The Company
borrowed $3.4 million under its revolving credit facility during the first half
of 1996. In 1995, long-term debt payments were funded by cash from operations.

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 June 30, 1996 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 and $3.4 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility. At June
30, 1996, the Company had $11.3 million of outstanding letters of credit. The
Company had $8.7 million in debt (including current portion) outstanding at
December 31, 1995, all of

which was the Industrial Revenue Bonds. There were no borrowings under the
revolving credit facility at that date.

On July 15, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up
to an additional 500,000 shares of its Common Stock in the open market, making a
total of 1,300,000 shares authorized for repurchase. At June 30, 1996 and August
2, 1996, the Company had repurchased 680,500 and 811,500 of these shares,
respectively.

On May 10, 1995 the Company's revolving credit and term loan agreement was
amended to increase the maximum borrowings under the Revolver, lower the
interest rate on the Revolver to prime plus 1% or LIBOR plus 2.5% and reduce
certain fees associated with the facility. Also as of that date, the term loans
($4.2 million) were repaid from cash from operations. The Loan Agreement, as
currently in effect, provides the Company with a $34 million revolving credit
facility. Borrowings under the Revolver are subject to certain borrowing base
limitations based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory less amounts
outstanding under letters of credit.

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 foreseeable 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.
