                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
NCI Building Systems, Inc.
 
    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NCI Building
Systems, Inc. as of October 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended October 31, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of NCI Building
Systems, Inc. at October 31, 1997 and 1996 and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
October 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
(a) REPORTING ENTITY
 
    These financial statements include the operations and activities of NCI
Building Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Company) after the
elimination of all material intercompany accounts and balances. The Company
designs, manufactures and markets metal building systems and components for
commercial, industrial, agricultural and community service use. The Company
recognizes revenues as jobs are shipped.
 
(b) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
    The Company reports accounts receivable net of the allowance for doubtful
accounts of $1,662, $1,629 and $1,498 at April 30, 1998, October 31, 1996 and
1997, respectively. Trade accounts receivable are the result of sales of
buildings and components to customers throughout the United States and
affiliated territories including international builders who resell to end users.
Although the Company's sales historically have been concentrated in Texas and
surrounding states, in recent years it has been expanding its authorized builder
organization and customer base into the midwestern states and, to a lesser
extent, into south central, southeastern and coastal states. All sales are
denominated in United States dollars. Credit sales do not normally require a
pledge of collateral; however, various types of liens may be filed to enhance
the collection process. Company management is not aware of any significant
concentrations of credit or market risks related to receivables or other
financial instruments reported in these financial statements.
 
(c) INVENTORIES
 
    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, using specific
identification for steel coils and the weighted-average method for other raw
materials. A summary of inventories follows (in thousands):

(e) CASH FLOWS STATEMENT
 
    For purposes of the cash flows statement, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. Total interest paid for the six months ended April 30, 1998
and the years ended October 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 was $84, $56, $108 and $163,
respectively. Income taxes paid for the six months ended April 30, 1998 and the
years ended October 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 was $9,277, $11,033, $12,763 and
$15,776 respectively. Non-cash investing or financing activities included:
$1,518 for the 1996 contribution for the 401k plan which was paid in common
stock in 1997, and $1,009 for the 1995 contribution for the 401k plan which was
paid in common stock in 1996.
 
(f) EXCESS OF COST OVER FAIR VALUE OF ACQUIRED NET ASSETS
 
    Excess of cost over fair value of acquired net assets is amortized on a
straight-line basis over fifteen years. Accumulated amortization as of April 30,
1998 was $3,753, as of October 31, 1997 was $3,042 and as of October 31, 1996
was $1,441. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed if the facts and
circumstances suggest that it may be impaired. If this review indicates that
goodwill will not be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted cash
flows of the entity acquired over the remaining amortization period, the
Company's carrying value of the goodwill would be reduced by the estimated
shortfall of cash flows.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                                 IS UNAUDITED)
 
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(g) USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
(h) ADVERTISING COSTS
 
    Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $587,
$1,196, $1,267 and $1,416 for the six months ended April 30, 1998 and for the
years ended October 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
 
(i) LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
    In fiscal 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF.
Impairment losses are recognized when indicators of impairment are present and
the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the assets
carrying amount. Assets held for disposal are measured at the lower of carrying
value or estimated fair value, less costs to sell. The effect of adopting SFAS
No. 121 was not material to the financial statements.
 
(j) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
    In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, which encourages companies to apply a new fair value
approach allowing the recognition of compensation cost related to stock options
using an option pricing model. Under Statement No. 123, companies are permitted
to continue using current accounting rules for employee stock options, but are
required to disclose pro forma net income and earnings per share information as
if the new fair value approach had been adopted. The Company has elected to
continue to use the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25 ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES (APB 25) and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. The pro forma
information regarding net income and earnings per share, as required by
Statement No. 123, has been disclosed as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement.
 
(k) PENDING ACCOUNTING CHANGES
 
    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which is effective for financial statements issued
for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The impact of Statement No. 128 on
the calculation of earnings per share is not expected to be material.
 
    In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION, which
is effective for the Company's fiscal year ending October 31, 1999. The Company
does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material
impact on the financial statements.

(2) NOTES PAYABLE (SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS)
 
    The Company has a revolving unsecured credit line of $6 million with a bank
bearing interest that fluctuates with prime, (commitment fee 1/4% on unused
portion) all of which was unused at October 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The
revolving credit line expires in February, 1999.

cash flow (net income plus depreciation and amortization) for the previous
12-month period to current maturities of long-term debt plus dividends and stock
repurchases.
 
    The carrying amount of the Company's long-term debt approximates its fair

    Options exercisable at October 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997 were 1,095, 783, and
841, respectively. The weighted average exercise prices for options exercisable
at October 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 were $1.88, $3.00 and $4.60, respectively.
Exercise prices for options outstanding at October 31, 1997 range from $.80 to
$18.62. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding
at October 31, 1997 is 6.3 years.
 
    In accordance with the terms of APB No. 25, because the exercise price of
the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying
stock on the date of the grant, the Company records no compensation expense for
its stock option awards. As required by SFAS No. 123, the Company provides the
following disclosure of hypothetical values for these awards. The weighted
average grant-date fair value of options granted during 1996 was $6.05 and
during 1997 was $7.33. These values were estimated using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected
dividend of 0%, expected volatility of 32.7%, risk free interest rates ranging
from 5.5% to 6.7% for 1996 and from 6.4% to 6.9% for 1997, and expected lives of
7 years. Had compensation expense been recorded based on these hypothetical
values, the Company's 1997 net income would have been $27.1 million or $1.59 per
share. A similar computation for 1996 would have resulted in net income of $24.4
million, or $1.48 per share. Because options vest over several years and
additional options grants are expected, the effects of these hypothetical
calculations are not likely to be representative of similar future calculations.
 
(8) LITIGATION
 
    The Company is involved in certain litigation that the Company considers to
be in the normal course of business. Management of the Company believes that
such litigation will not result in any material losses.

(9) NET INCOME PER SHARE
 
    In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which requires the
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the new statement,
the dilutive effect of stock options is excluded from basic earnings per share,
but included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The new statement
is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted the
new statement during the first quarter of fiscal year 1998. Earnings per share
amounts for all periods presented have been restated. The computations are as

(10) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
 
    The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan (the "Savings Plan") which
covers all eligible employees. The Savings Plan requires the Company to match
employee contributions up to a certain percentage of a participant's salary. No
other contributions may be made to the Savings Plan. Contributions accrued for
the Savings Plan for the years ended October 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 were $775,
$1,155 and $1,604 respectively.
 
(11) ACQUISITIONS
 
    In November 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Doors and Building Components, Inc. ("DBCI"), a
manufacturer of roll-up steel overhead doors used primarily in self-storage and
commercial/industrial applications, for approximately $12 million in cash and
300,000 shares of common stock of the Company, valued at $5.2 million. Based on
the final determination of book value of the purchased assets, the price was
reduced by approximately $2.5 million of which $1.5 million is due from the
seller and was recorded as a receivable in the October 31, 1996 balance sheet.
This amount was settled in cash in December, 1996. The excess of cost over fair
value of the acquired net assets recorded was $11.4 million.

(11) ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

    In April, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Mesco Metal Buildings, a division of Anderson
Industries, Inc. ("Mesco"), a manufacturer of metal building systems and
components, for approximately $20.8 million in cash and a $1.5 million 7%
convertible subordinated debenture due April, 2001. The excess of cost over fair
value of the acquired net assets recorded was $10.9 million.
 
    Accordingly, the consolidated results of operations include DBCI and Mesco
since the date of acquisition. Both acquisitions were accounted for using the
purchase method. Assuming the acquisition of DBCI and Mesco had been consummated
as of November 1, 1995, the pro forma unaudited results of operations for the
year ended October 31, 1996 are as follows (in millions, except per share data):
