1.    The information in this report reflects all adjustments, which are, in the

5.    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
      No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as
      amended, which is required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15,
      2000. Because of the Company's minimal use of derivatives, management does
      not anticipate that the adoption of the new Statement will have a
      significant effect on earnings or the financial position of the Company.

6.    On September 30, 1998, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement
      with FirstMerit Bank, N.A. (FM). The agreement provides for borrowings up
      to $20,000,000 based on eligible accounts receivable and inventories
      expiring on August 31, 2001. Interest is at FM's prime rate minus1/4%. The
      agreement is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment,
      cash, intangibles and certain real estate. There are covenants relating to
      the payment of dividends, acquiring treasury stock, the creation of
      additional indebtedness, minimum tangible net worth, and cash flow
      coverage. The Company was not in compliance with the cash flow coverage
      covenant for the year ended March 31, 2000 and for the cash flow coverage
      and minimum net worth covenant for the quarter ending June 30, 2000. On
      June 14, 2000, and August 4, 2000, the Company received a waiver of such
      noncompliance from the lender. The Company was not in compliance with the
      cash flow coverage and the minimum net worth covenants for the period
      ending September 30, 2000 nor does the Company expect to be in compliance
      for the next two quarters of the year. When default occurs, the lenders
      can demand repayment of all amounts outstanding under the credit agreement
      and otherwise pursue remedies available to them. Accordingly the entire
      amount outstanding under the credit agreement is classified as a current
      liability as of September 30, 2000. As of September 30, 2000 FM has not
      demanded repayment of the entire amount outstanding under the credit
      agreement and the Company is in the process of finding a new lender. At
      September 30, 2000 the Company owed on the Albex and Knox notes to FM,
      $5,577,072. The Company owed $18,018,018 under its $20,000,000 line of
      credit with FM at September 30, 2000. See Management's Discussion and
      Analysis of Material Changes in Financial Condition on page 10.

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

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

                     MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION


The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $797,751 and $793,122 at September
30, 2000 and March 31, 2000, respectively. The Company had borrowed $18,018,018
on the line of credit at September 30, 2000. As discussed in footnote 6, in
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company was not in compliance
with the bank covenant on cash flow coverage and minimum net worth covenant and
does not expect to be in compliance for the next two quarters. The Company is in
the process of finding a new lender for both the $20,000,000 note and for the
two long-term notes, which are secured with certain assets at the Albex and Knox
facilities. On September 30, 2000, the company owed to FM on these notes
$5,577,072. The Company expects to replace the three notes with similar
arrangements with another lender by year-end March 31, 2001. FM and the company
have agreed in principle to an orderly transition to a new financial
institution.

Capital expenditures were approximately $322,000 and $1,222,000 for the quarter
and year to date. The major expenditures were: $109,000 at Ravens mainly for the
installation of environmental equipment at the Dover facility and miscellaneous
manufacturing equipment at the other Ravens facilities; $1,041,000 at Albex used
for the upgrading of the large extrusion press $413,000, production dies
$202,000, shipping and packaging department enlargement $168,000 and other
manufacturing equipment $258,000 and $71,000 at SABI, mainly for replacing
forklift trucks.

Account Receivables decreased $2,770,706 (25.6%) due mainly to lower sales at
Ravens and at Albex.

Inventories decreased from year-end by $181,662. Inventories have increased at
Albex $1,448,848 due to a combination of the improved manufacturing efficiencies
in the cast house which increased production and a cancellation of orders from
customers. Albex has adjusted the production schedule to further reduce
inventories. Ravens and SABI inventories have been reduced $1,251,177 and
$418,880 respectively, to support lower production and sales.

Current Liabilities decreased $593,626 before the adjustment for the FM notes.
As discussed above all of the FM notes totaling $23,595,090 have been classified
as current liabilities. The Company expects to have the FM notes replaced by
year-end.

The Company's sales order backlog for new trailers was approximately $3,313,000
and $4,627,000 at September 30 and June 30, 2000. Although no assurances are
possible, the Company believes that with the replacement of the FM notes, its
cash resources, credit arrangements, and internally generated funds will be
sufficient to meet its operating and capital expenditure requirements for
existing operations and to service its debt in the next 12 months and
foreseeable future. Cautionary statements: Demand for the Company's products is
subject to changes in general economic conditions and in the specific markets in
which the Company competes.

                    MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

               SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE
                       SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999


Consolidated net sales decreased 20.2% with trailer sales at Ravens decreasing
25.5%, Albex sales to outside customers decreasing 22.1% and was partially
offset by higher sales at SABI of 4.4%. Gross profit margin decreased to 8.2%
from 11.9%. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.6% from
7.3%. Interest expense increased due to higher borrowings to support the
operations and fixed asset purchases. Overall the company had a net loss for the
six months of $1,142,842 compared to a net income of $765,924 for last year.

Ravens net sales decreased 25.5%. In the first six months Ravens, as did the
industry, experienced a sudden cancellation and push out of backlog units as
higher fuel and interest rates sharply decreased trailer sales. This resulted in
a sharp decrease in sale to and new orders from dealer and fleet customers.
Until there is a decline in fuel prices and a leveling of interest rates, Ravens
does not expect the unit volume will increase. Partially offsetting the lower
unit sales was the higher selling prices obtained due to lower fleet sales.
Gross Profit decreased to 13.9% from 16.0% last year. Lower production volumes
increased manufacturing variances. Selling, general and administrative expense
increased to 10.7% of net sales from 7.2%, due mainly to the lower sales and
higher spending. Overall Ravens had a positive operating income. However, due to
the loss in volume, operating income was 73% lower than last year.

Albex net sales to customers other than to Ravens and SABI decreased 22.1%, as
customer orders were cancelled or delayed. Intercompany orders from Ravens, that
provided volume for production, were also cancelled or delayed. At the cast
house inter-company and sales to outside customers decreased slightly by 2.0%.
Gross Profit was a negative 4.4% compared to 0.5% last year. Selling, general
and administrative expenses were increased to 6.7% of sales from 5.3% last year
due mainly to lower sales. The operating loss at Albex increased by $598,030.
The operating loss increase was due to the much lower volumes in extrusion sales
which reduced extrusion gross profit dollars by 80% or $854,000. The gross
profit loss at the cast house, on approximately 2% lower volume, was 26% or
$255,000, lower than last year. As planned, the use of gas furnaces in the cast
house increased the reliability of the volume output and reduced operating cost.

The cast house at Albex has been adversely affected by the lowered overall
demand of extruded products and aluminum billet sales to customers. At the
current low volumes of production, the cast house cannot operate efficiently. In
the third quarter, the cast house production will be suspended until the volume
of production increase to a level in which the operation is efficient. Albex
will reduce overall operating cost for the short term and reduce inventory thus
improving cash flow. Currently, there is a worldwide surplus of aluminum billet
and management has developed alternative sources of supply for the extrusion
business.

SABI net sales increased by 4.4% due mainly from increased selling effort. Gross
profit margins decreased to 8.9% from 14.6% due to competitive conditions.
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased to 7.9% of net sales from
9.5% last year.

              THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE
                      THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999


Consolidated net sales decreased 28.4%, with trailer sales at Ravens decreasing
35.1%, Albex sales to outside customers decreasing 28.5% and was partially
offset by higher sales at SABI of 2.0%. Gross profit margin decreased to 5.1%
from 11.6%. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 10.8% from
7.8% of net sales. Interest expense increased due to higher borrowings to
support the operations and fixed asset purchases. Overall the company had a net
loss for the quarter of $996,664 compared to a net income of $265,840 for last
year.

Ravens net sales decreased 35.1%. In the second quarter Ravens, as did the
industry, experienced a sharp decline in trailer sales from both dealer and
fleet customers. Ravens expects unit volume will not increase until there is a
decline in fuel prices and a leveling of interest rates. Partially offsetting
the lower unit sales was the higher selling prices obtained due to lower fleet
sales. Gross Profit decreased to 9.6% from 16.8% of net sales last year, due
mainly to the lower volume resulting in higher manufacturing cost. Selling,
general and administrative expense increased to 12.9% from 7.6%, due mainly to
the lower volume effecting the calculation and higher spending. Ravens had an
operating loss of $307,704 compared to an operating profit of $1,344,447 last
year.

Albex net sales to customers other than to Ravens and SABI decreased 28.5%, as
customer orders were cancelled or delayed. Intercompany orders from Ravens, that
proved volume for production, were also cancelled or delayed. Gross profit
margin decreased to a negative 6.7% from a negative 2.1% last year. Selling,
general and administrative expenses were increased to 7.5% of net sales from
5.6% last year due mainly to lower sales. The lower extrusion business sales to
Ravens and to outside customers caused gross profit to decrease $457,000 to
approximately a break even. Though the cast house operated at a loss at the
gross profit margin, the loss was $261,000 lower than last year on approximately
8% lower sales. The cast house production was shut down for one week and there
was a reduction in operating days from plan in order to reduce output to meet
the lower demand. As planned, the cast house improved the reliability of the
production output and reduced cost by using the new furnaces installed in
November 1999.

SABI net sales increased by 2.0% due mainly from increased selling effort. Gross
profit margins decreased to 8.9% from 14.4% due to competitive conditions.
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased to 6.9% from 10.3% due to a
reduction in selling cost.
