            NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned.  All significant
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-0l of Regulation S-X for interim
financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and do not include all information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
However, the information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.

The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements for the year ended May 3l, 1996, included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form  10-K for the year then ended.  The Company's
business is seasonal;  therefore, results for any interim period  may not
necessarily be indicative of future operating results.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended August 31, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended 
August 31, 1995

Revenues for the quarter ending August 31, 1996 were $39.6 million as compared
to revenues of $43.2 million for the quarter ended August 31, 1995, 
representing a decrease of approximately $3.5 million or 8.2%.  The decrease
is due principally to decreased revenues from the Company's new construction
of aboveground storage tanks as compared with the same period in 1995 as a  
result of less new tank work in the West Coast area for the current period.

Gross profit increased to $4.0 million for the quarterly period ending August
31, 1996.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenues remained flat at 10% for
the 1996 period compared to the 1995 period.  The Company is experiencing some
improvement in the demand for its products and services in its established
markets.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $2.5 million for
the quarterly period ending August 31, 1996 from expenses of $2.6 million for
the quarterly period ended August 31, 1995, a decrease of $132 thousand or
approximately 5% and representing as a percentage of revenues, an increase to
6.2% for the 1996 period from 6.0% for the 1995 period.  The decrease in
expenses for the 1996 period was due to decreases in administrative costs as
compared with the 1995 period.  The amortization of noncompetition expense
decreased for the 1996 period as compared to the 1995 period due to the
expiration of certain noncompetition agreements at May 31, 1996, which were
fully amortized at May 31, 1996.

Operating income decreased to $1.3 million for the quarterly period ending
August 31, 1996 from income of $1.5 million for the quarterly period ended
August 31, 1995, or a decrease of $161 thousand.  The decrease was due to a
lower gross profit, partially offset by lower administrative costs and lower
expenses from the amortization of noncompetition agreements.

Interest expense decreased to $114 thousand for the quarterly period ending
August 31, 1996 from $216 thousand of interest expense for the quarterly
period ended August 31, 1995.  The decrease resulted primarily from decreased
borrowing under the Company's revolving credit facility and a term loan
established on August 24, 1994.  During the period there was an average of
$1.5 million outstanding under the term loan.  

Net income increased to $632 thousand for the quarterly period ending August
31, 1996 from net income of $551 thousand for the quarterly period ended
August 31, 1995.  The increase was due principally to decreased provision for
income tax for the 1996 period as compared to the 1995 period.  The greater
income tax provision for the 1995 period resulted from the tax requirement on
certain transactions related to foreign operations which were discontinued
during the 1995 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources    

The Company has financed its operations recently with cash generated by
operations and advances under the Company's credit facility.  The Company has
a credit facility with a commercial bank under which the Company may  borrow
a total of $20.0 million.  The Company may borrow up to $15.0 million under
a revolving credit agreement based on the level of the Company's eligible
receivables.  The agreement provides for interest at the Prime Rate minus
one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%), or a LIBOR based option, and matures on
October 31, 1997.  At August 31, 1996, the interest rate was 7.75% and the
outstanding advances under the revolver totaled $1.0 million.  The credit
facility also provides for a term loan up to $5.0 million. On October 5, 
1994, a term loan of $4.9 million was made to the Company.  The term loan is 
due on August 31, 1999 and is to be repaid in 54 equal payments beginning in
March 1995 at an interest rate based upon the Prime Rate.  At August 31, 1996,
the interest rate on the term loan was 8.25%, and the outstanding balance was
$3.3 million.

Operations of the Company provided $2.3 million of cash for the three months
ended August 31, 1996 as compared with providing cash from operations of $2.1
million for the three months ended August 31, 1995, representing an increase
of approximately $193 thousand.  The increase was primarily the result of
increased collection of accounts receivable of $1.7 million and a net increase
of $3.3 million in costs and estimated earnings in excess ofbillings on
uncompleted contracts and offset by net decreases of $1.0 million from 
inventory purchases and a decrease from taxes and other accruals of $3.1 
million.

Capital expenditures during the three month period ended August 31, 1996
totaled approximately $1.5 million.  The Company has invested approximately
$421 thousand in transportation equipment to be used to support field
operations and $700 thousand for land and a building for a new facility
in the Pacific Northwest.  In addition, approximately $203 thousand was used
to purchase welding and construction equipment for field operations.  The
Company has currently budgeted approximately $4.3 million for additional
capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal year 1997 primarily to
be used to purchase construction equipment.  The Company expects to be able
to finance such expenditures with available working capital.

The Company believes that its existing funds, amounts available for borrowing
under its credit facility, and cash generated by operations will be
sufficient to meet the Company's working capital needs at least through fiscal
1997 and possibly thereafter unless significant expansions of operations not
now planned are undertaken, in which case the Company would arrange additional
financing as a part of any such expansion.
