NCI BUILDING SYSTEMS, INC.



NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 4, 1998, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Metal Building
Components, Inc.("MBCI") for $550 million in cash and 700,000 shares of the 
Company's common stock. MBCI designs, manufactures, sells and distributes metal
components for commercial, industrial, architectural, agricultural and
residential construction uses. MBCI also processes its own hot roll coil metal
for use in component manufacturing, as well as processing hot roll coil metal
and toll coating light gauge metal for use by other parties in the construction
of metal building components and numerous other products. The funds for this
acquisition were provided from the proceeds of a new $600 million credit
facility from several banks under which the Company initially borrowed $540
million. The facility includes a $200 million five year term loan, a $200
million five year revolving loan and a $200 million 364 day revolving loan which
is convertible into a three year term loan under certain conditions,

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

Results of Operations

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997.

Sales in the second quarter of fiscal year 1998 increased by $3.7 million, or
4%, compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 1997. This increase was due
primarily to the increase in market penetration of building system sales and
higher sales in the component division. Wet weather in the West, Southeast and
Southwest United States delayed shipments in the second quarter of 1998 and
reduced expected sales during the quarter.

Gross profit in the second quarter increased $2.9 million, or 12%, compared to
the prior year's second quarter. Gross margin percentage increased from 25.9%
last year to 27.9% in the current quarter. This increase resulted from better
utilization and control of manufacturing costs, improved margins in the
components business and stable raw material costs in the current year.

Operating expenses which consist of engineering, selling and administrative
costs increased by $1.6 million, or 10%, in the current quarter compared to
the same period last year. As a percent of sales, operating expenses were 18.2%
compared to 17.3% a year ago. This increase was primarily of salaries and
commissions for additional employees hired to support the increased volume of
orders and sales over the prior year. As a percent of sales, these costs
increased because of lower sales than expected due to adverse weather in the
second quarter which delayed the shipment of customer orders.

Interest expense decreased by $3,000 in the current quarter compared to the
prior year's second quarter due to normal repayment of debt. Other income
increased by $442,000 in the current quarter due to a higher level of
investable cash this year compared to last year and other income related to
joint venture activities.

Income before income taxes increased by $1.8 million, or 22%. Improved gross
margins accounted for most of this improvement for the current quarter. In the
prior year, income levels were impacted by start up costs associated with the
acquisition of Carlisle in February 1997.

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997.

Sales for the six months ended April 30, 1998 increased by $18.2 million. This
increase resulted from increased market penetration in both the metal building
systems and components markets.

Gross margins for the six months ended April 30, 1998 increased by $5.9 million,
or 13%, compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was slightly
higher than the 10% increase in sales due to the improvement in gross margins
for the second quarter discussed above,

Operating expenses, which consist of engineering, selling and administrative
costs, increased by $3.7 million, or 12%, for the six months ended April 30,
1998 compared to the same period last year. As a percent of sales, operating
expenses were 17.7% compared to 17.4% a year ago. This increase was primarily
due to adverse weather in the first and second quarters which delayed the
shipment of customer orders.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has historically funded its operations from cash flow from
operations, bank borrowing and sale of equity in the Company. The Company has no
outstanding balance under either of its credit facilities and has not borrowed
any funds in the six month period.

During the six months, the Company spent $4.0 million in capital additions for
its manufacturing plants. All of the funds for these additions were funded from
internally generated cash.

At April 30, 1998, the ratio of current assets to current liabilities was
4.3 to 1 compared to 2.7 to 1 at October 31, 1997. Cash flow generated from
operations before changes in current assets and liabilities was $24.6 million.

On May 4, 1998, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Metal Building
Components, Inc. ("MBCI") for $550 million in cash and 700,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. MBCI designs, manufactures, sells and distributes metal
components for commercial, industrial, architectural, agricultural and
residential construction uses. MBCI also processes its own hot roll coil metal
for use in component manufacturing, as well as processing hot roll coil metal
and toll coating light gauge metal for use by other parties in the construction
of metal building components and numerous other products. The funds for this
acquisition were provided from the proceeds of a new $600 million credit
facility from several banks under which the Company initially borrowed $540
million. The facility includes a $200 million five year term loan, a $200
million five year revolving loan and a $200 million 364 day revolving loan which
is convertible into a three year term loan under certain conditions.

Liquidity in future periods will be dependent on internally generated cash
flows, the ability to obtain adequate external financing for expansion, when
needed, and the amount of increased working capital necessary to support
expected growth. Based on current capitalization, it is expected future cash
flows from operations and the availability of alternative sources of external
financing should be sufficient to provide adequate liquidity in future periods
and to meet the Company's obligations under its new credit facility.

The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems to
identify the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and is
implementing its plan to resolve the issue. The Year 2000 problem is a result of
computer programs being written using two digits (rather than four) to define
the applicable year. Any of the Company's programs that have time-sensitive
software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could result in a major system failure or miscalculations. The
Company presently believes that, with modifications to existing software and
converting to new software, the Year 2000 problem will not pose

                                       -7-


<PAGE>   10






significant operational problems for the Company's computer systems as so
modified and converted. The Company is well under way with its project plans and
expects to complete systems corrections by December 31, 1998. The related cost
is not expected to be material to the Company's results of operations or
financial position.
