                           ROBERTSON-CECO CORPORATION
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION
         ---------------------

         In the opinion of Robertson-Ceco Corporation (the "Company"), the
         accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
         contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
         position as of June 30, 1999 and the results of operations and cash
         flows for the periods presented. All adjustments recorded during the
         period consisted of normal recurring adjustments. Certain previously
         reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1999
         presentation.

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting
         Comprehensive Income ("SFAS No. 130") was issued in June 1998 with
         adoption required for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1998.
         SFAS No. 130 requires the presentation of an additional income measure
         (termed "comprehensive income"), which adjusts traditional net income
         for certain items that previously were only reflected as direct charges
         to equity (such as minimum pension liabilities and foreign currency
         translation adjustments). The dollar amount of the Company's
         adjustments required by SFAS No. 130 is not significant so there is not
         a significant difference between net income and comprehensive income
         for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

2.       TAXES ON INCOME
         ---------------

         Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
         for Income Taxes," the Company is required to recognize the portion of
         its deferred tax asset which it believes will more likely than not be
         realized. Management believes that the Company will be able to realize
         the unreserved portion of its deferred tax asset through future
         earnings. Management will continue to evaluate the level of its
         deferred tax valuation allowance at each balance sheet date and adjust
         the valuation reserve as warranted by changes in the Company's expected
         future profitability, amounts and timing of payments related to its
         retained liabilities, or other events which might affect the
         realization of the Company's deferred tax asset.

3.       OTHER LIABILITIES
         -----------------

         Other accrued liabilities consisted of the following:

See Note 5 regarding contingencies.

4.       DEBT
         ----

         Under the terms of the Company's Credit Agreement the Company has a
         revolving credit and letter of credit facility of $15,000,000 maturing
         December 31, 2001. Up to $12,000,000 of the revolving credit facility
         can be used to support outstanding letters of credit. Interest on the
         loans under the Credit Agreement is based on the prime or the
         Eurodollar rate plus a factor which depends on the Company's ratio of
         debt to earnings before taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization.
         In addition, the Company pays a commitment fee on the unused amounts of
         the credit facility. Availability under the revolving credit facility
         is based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. As of June 30,
         1999, the borrowing base was approximately $27.8 million. As collateral
         under the Credit Agreement, the Company has granted the lenders a
         security interest in all of the assets of the Company and its
         Restricted Subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains certain
         financial covenants restricting dividend payments, repurchase of stock
         and the issuance of additional debt, amongst other matters. Under the
         terms of the Company's debt agreement, $39.9 million was available for
         dividends or repurchase of stock at June 30, 1999. The Company is in
         compliance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

         As of June 30, 1999, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of
         approximately $5.8 million used principally to support insurance and
         bonding programs.

5.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
         -----------------------------

         There are various proceedings pending against or involving the Company
         which are ordinary or routine given the nature of the Company's
         business. The Company has recorded a liability related to litigation
         where it is both probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount
         of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

         The Company continues to be liable for liabilities associated with sold
         or discontinued businesses prior to the sale or disposition including,
         in certain instances, liabilities arising from Company self-insurance
         programs, pension liabilities, warranty and rectification claims,
         environmental clean-up matters, and unresolved litigation arising in
         the normal course of the former business activities. Management has
         made estimates as to the amount and timing of the payment of such
         liabilities which are reflected in the accompanying consolidated
         financial statements. Given the subjective nature of many of these
         liabilities, their ultimate outcome cannot be predicted with certainty.
         However, based upon currently available information, management does
         not expect that the ultimate outcome of such matters will have a
         material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

         The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party by
         various state and Federal authorities for clean-up and monitoring costs
         at waste disposal sites related to discontinued operations. Due to
         various factors, it is difficult to estimate future environmental
         related expenditures. The Company has engaged third parties to perform
         feasibility studies and assist in estimating the cost of investigation
         and remediation. At June 30, 1999, the Company had recorded reserves of
         approximately $4.5 million, representing management's and the third
         parties' best estimate of future costs to be incurred. The majority of
         these expenditures are expected to be incurred in the next five years.
         Although unexpected events could have an impact on these estimates,
         management does not believe that additional costs that could be
         incurred would have a material adverse effect on the condensed
         consolidated financial statements.

         With respect to the environmental clean-up matters, the Company has
         claimed coverage under its insurance policies for past and future
         clean-up costs related to certain sites for which the Company believes
         it is entitled to defense and indemnification under the policies. The
         insurer has refused to admit or deny coverage. As a result, the Company
         has filed a complaint against the insurer seeking to recover past and
         future clean-up costs. It is not currently possible to predict the
         amount or timing of proceeds, if any, from the ultimate resolution of
         this matter.

ITEM 2.               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results Of Operations
- ---------------------

Revenues for the second quarter of 1999 were $67.6 million, a decrease of $6.6
million, or 8.9%, when compared to the second quarter of 1998. For the six
months ended June 30, 1999, revenues were $127.5 million compared to $136.7
million in 1998, a decrease of $9.2 million, or 6.7%. Strong orders experienced
in the Southeast and East continue to be offset by a shortfall of orders in the
Midwest and Canada. Order rates in these two regions slowed late last year with
several large snowfalls slowing incoming business in the Midwest and Canada.
Also, there has been a general slowdown in the Canadian construction economy.
However, as builders have worked off their backlogs, the Company has seen
incoming orders increase to more satisfactory levels. As of June 30, 1999, the
backlog of unfilled orders believed to be firm was approximately $92.6 million,
$6.4 million higher than at the same date last year. Decreased revenues in 1999
directly impacted gross profits which decreased $1.7 million and $1.8 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, from the same
periods in 1998. Gross margin decreased slightly to 21.2% in the second quarter
of 1999 from 21.6% in 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the gross
margin stayed fairly constant at 20.3%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G & A") decreased $.1 million
in the second quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter of 1998.
Year-to-date S,G & A expenses remained fairly constant in 1999 from the same six
month period ended 1998. The Company continues to use temporary resources to
complete several high priority systems projects. These costs were offset by
lower bad debt expense and the effect of a favorable buyout of retiree life
benefits.

Operating income was $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999,
compared to $10.1 million in 1998, a 15.8% decrease. For the six months ended
June 30, 1999 operating income was $14.1 million compared to $15.9 million for
the same period ended 1998, a 11.6% decrease.

Interest expense declined $.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999
from the prior year to approximately $27,000. For the six months ended June 30,
1999 interest expense declined $.6 million from the same period ended 1998 to
$.1 million. All debt (other than the outstanding letters of credit) was repaid
in September, 1998. The interest cost in 1999 relates to the Company's letters
of credit. Other income-net consists almost entirely of interest income and
remained fairly constant for the three month period ended June 30, 1998 and
1999, and increased $.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from the
same period in 1998. This increase is the direct result of higher average cash
balances between years.

Net income was $5.5 million, $.34 per share, during the three months ended June
30, 1999 compared to $6.5 million, $.41 per share, in the same period in 1998.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, net income was $9.2 million and
$10.0 million, or $.57 per share and $.62 per share, respectively. Decreased
revenues, partially offset by lower interest costs and higher interest income,
caused the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 to be unfavorable to
the same period last year.

Backlog of Orders
- -----------------

At June 30, 1999, the backlog of unfilled orders believed to be firm was
approximately $92.6 million compared to a backlog of $86.2 million at June 30,
1998 and $69.3 million at December 31, 1998.

Litigation
- ----------

There are various proceedings pending against or involving the Company which are
ordinary or routine given the nature of the Company's business. The Company has
recorded a liability related to litigation where it is both probable that a loss
has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. While
the outcome of the Company's legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted
with certainty, management does not expect that these matters will have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of
operations of the Company.

Environmental Matters
- ---------------------

The Company's current and prior manufacturing activities have generated and
continue to generate materials classified as hazardous wastes. The Company
devotes considerable resources to compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements relating to (a) the use of these materials, (b) the proper disposal
of such materials and (c) the protection of the environment. These requirements
include clean-ups at various sites. The Company's policy is to accrue
environmental and clean-up related costs of a non-capital nature when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and such liability can be reasonably
estimated. However, no assurance can be given that discovery of new facts and
the application of the legal and regulatory requirements to those facts would
not change the Company's estimate of costs it could be required to pay in any
particular situation. Based upon currently available information, including the
reports of third parties, management does not believe resolution of these
matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.

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

During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company generated $9.7 million of
cash from its operating activities compared to $11.5 million during the same
period ended 1998. Operating cash flow in 1999 declined from 1998 due to
payments made for state income tax totaling $1.3 million and deposits made
totaling $4.6 million (reflected in other current assets) related to equipment
purchases for the Tennessee plant. Management expects that these deposits will
be reimbursed when operating leases are put in place later in the year. Strong
collections on receivables in the second quarter of 1999 mitigated the impact of
cash paid for taxes and the deposits.

During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company reduced reserves by
approximately $3.3 million related to discontinued operations compared to a
reduction of $1.4 million during the same period in 1998. These reductions were
primarily related to payments on cleanup of environmental sites and resolving
worker's compensation and general liability cases from sold businesses.
Expenditures for these matters are dependent on several factors including
construction activity at the clean up sites and the ability of the company to
settle litigation on favorable terms. Management will continue to pursue
settlement of these matters where possible and where favorable resolution can be
accomplished.

Cash spent for additions to the Company's plant and equipment was $7.9 million.
Capital spending in 1999 and subsequent years will be at higher levels than the
Company has experienced in recent years as the Company moves forward with the
new Tennessee plant and upgrades and improves existing equipment. Capital
expenditures for the new plant for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $2.7
million.

The Company paid down $2.5 million of debt during the six months ended June 30,
1998 per the terms of the Credit Agreement. In September, 1998, the remaining
term loan balance of $12.5 million was paid in full and availability under the
revolving credit was reduced to $15.0 million. See Note 4.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.5 million during the first six months
ended June 30, 1999 and increased $5.3 million during the same period ended
1998. At June 30, 1999 and 1998 the Company had $36.7 million and $24.8 million
of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Year 2000
- ---------

The "Year 2000" issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Specifically,
computational errors are a known risk with respect to dates after December 31,
1999. The Company has assessed its computer equipment and business computer
systems and is in the process of assessing its manufacturing equipment and
facilities with embedded systems to prepare for the Year 2000.

Management believes the modifications of its business computer systems will be
completed in adequate time to enable proper processing of transactions relating
to the Year 2000 and beyond. At this point, all programming and software upgrade
tasks have been completed and implemented. The anticipated date of completion of
the final testing is September 1999. Expenditures for this process approximate
$3.0 million to date and the Company has budgeted an additional $.1 million for
completion. Until the assessment of manufacturing equipment and facilities has
been completed, we cannot state with any degree of certainty the timetable for
completion of potential modifications or related costs. However, the review of
equipment and facilities which could create an element of Year 2000 risk
indicates that costs of possible modifications would not be material and would
be completed in adequate time to minimize any significant Year 2000 risks.

While the Company believes that its efforts will adequately address its internal
Year 2000 concerns, there are key risk factors associated with the Year 2000
that the Company cannot directly control, primarily the readiness of its
customers, key suppliers, public infrastructure suppliers and other vendors. The
Company is in the process of communicating with key third parties to assess
their Year 2000 readiness. Because the market for the Company's products is
comprised of numerous customers with a variety of sizes and levels of
sophistication, the noncompliance with Year 2000 of any one would not have a
detrimental impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Based upon the Company's findings relating to the compliance status of its
significant suppliers, the Company will establish contingency plans which will
involve identification of alternative sources of supply, developing business
resumption plans, and evaluating alternative manual processes. Actions may be as
simple as locating an alternative material vendor who is Year 2000 compliant, or
as complex as curtailing operations in one or more locations due to lack of
electrical power.

The Company cannot predict the likelihood of a significant disruption of its
customers' or suppliers' businesses or of the economy as a whole, either of
which could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

This is a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure Statement within the meaning of the
Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act (P.L.105-271).

"Safe Harbor" Provisions
- ------------------------

The Company may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking
statements, including statements contained in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and its reports to stockholders. This
Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements made in good faith by the
corporation pursuant to these "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In connection with these "safe harbor"
provisions, the Company identifies important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements made by or on behalf of the Company. Any such statement is qualified
by reference to the following cautionary statements.

The Company's business operates in a highly competitive market and is subject to
changes in general economic conditions, intense competition, changes in consumer
preferences, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the degree of acceptance of new
product introductions, the uncertainties of litigation, as well as other risks
and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company's Securities and
Exchange Commission filings.

Developments in any of these areas, which are more fully described in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, could cause the
Company's results to differ materially from results that have been or may be
projected by or on behalf of the Company.

The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not
inclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statement that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.
