             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
                  

1.    A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is presented on
      Page 19 of its 1998 Annual Shareholders' Report.

2.    In the opinion of Management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
      consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
      (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly
      the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 1998, and the
      results of its operations and cash flows for the six-month periods ended
      August 31, 1998 and August 31, 1997.

3.    Earnings per share is based on the month-end average number of shares
      outstanding during each year, adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock
      options.

      The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
      earnings per share:

4.   In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
     Income," and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
     Related Information." SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise report, by
     major component and as a single total, the change in its equity during the
     period from nonowner sources, and SFAS No. 131 establishes annual and
     interim reporting requirements for an enterprise's operating segments, and
     related disclosures about its products and services, geographical areas in
     which it operates, and major customers. Both statements are effective for
     fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application
     permitted. The Company adopted both of these statements in the first
     quarter of fiscal 1999 and the impact of adoption did not materially impact
     the Company's consolidated financial position or

                                     Page 6

     statements of income, shareholder's equity, and cash flows. The effects of
     adoption were primarily limited to form and content of the Company's
     disclosures.

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


                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                            ----------------------

Consolidated net sales were up 10% and 12% for the three month and six month
periods ending August 31, 1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997.  Net
sales in the Electrical Products Segment were up $498,000 or 5% for the three
month period ending August 31, 1998, and $814,000 or 4% for the six month period
ending August 31, 1998, as compared to the same periods in 1997.  Drilling Rig
Electrical Systems Co. (DRESCO) acquired on February 23, 1998, contributed
$462,000 and $707,000 for the three and six month periods ending August 31,
1998.  Sales in the Electrical Products Segment excluding DRESCO were $9.2
million and $18.5 million for the three and six month periods ending August 31,
1998, as compared to $9.2 million and $18.4 million for the same periods in
1997.  Backlog continues to improve in the Electrical Segment at $13,566,000
compared to $10,650,000 in the prior year.   Net sales in the Galvanizing
Segment were up $1,145,000 or 15% for the three month period ending August 31,
1998, and $2,025,000 or 14% for the six month period ending August 31, 1998 as
compared to the same periods in 1997, primarily due to the acquisition of
International Galvanizers, Inc. on December 8, 1997. Total pounds produced were
54,362,000 and 108,557,000 for the three and six month periods ending August 31,
1998 compared to 43,461,000 and 93,373,000 during the same periods in 1997.
International Galvanizers contributed $818,000 and $1,615,000 in sales for the
three and six month periods ending August 31, 1998 and produced 5,793,000 and
11,201,000 pounds respectively.  Volumes of steel produced were up 4% at the
segment's other nine locations.  The year to date average selling price
decreased to $.1493 per pound for 1998 from $.1529 in 1997.  Net sales in the
Oil Field Products Segment were up 14.5% and 38% for the three and six month
periods ending August 31, 1998, as compared to the same periods in 1997.  Even
though sales were up, margins in this segment have been negatively impacted due
to the slow down in the oil and gas industry.

Consolidated gross profit (net sales less cost of sales) was relatively flat
for the three and six month periods ending August 31, 1998, as compared to the
same periods in 1997.  Operating income in the Electrical Products Segment was
down 5% and 10% for the three and six month periods ending August 31, 1998, as
compared to the same periods in 1997.  Margins were reduced because of downward
pricing pressure on the segment's products due to the continued economic
weakness in the Pacific Rim countries and in the petroleum industry, as well as
increased selling expenses.  DRESCO did not contribute significantly to
operating income in this segment.  The Galvanizing Segment's operating income
was up 7% and 6% for the three and six month periods ending August 31, 1998 as
compared to the same periods in 1997.  Total operating income in this segment
was $1,760,000 and $3,792,000 for the three and six month periods ending August
31, 1998 as compared to $1,651,000 and $3,576,000 in the same periods in 1997.
International Galvanizers operated at approximately break-even for the quarter
and contributed $143,000 to the segment's operating income for the six month
period ending August 31, 1998.  The Oil Field Products Segment showed operating
income of $19,000 and $123,000 for the three and six month periods ending August
31, 1998 as compared to $204,000 and $342,000 during the same periods in 1997.

General corporate expenses (selling, G & A expense, and other [income] expense)
as a percent of net sales was relatively flat for the three and six month
periods ending August 31, 1998, compared to the same periods in 1997.

                                     Page 7
<PAGE>
 
Interest expense was higher for the three and six month periods ending August
31, 1998, as compared to 1997.  The additional interest expense is due to a
higher outstanding loan balance associated with acquisitions the Company made in
the last quarter of fiscal 1998.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Net cash provided by operations was $3.9 million for the first six months of
fiscal 1999 compared to  $1.2 million for the same period in fiscal 1998.
Accounts receivable days outstanding were lower and the Oil Field segments
inventories were reduced during the period resulting in a combined reduction of
$830,000.

During the period ended August 31, 1998, proceeds from operating activities of
$3.9 million were used to fund the purchase of plant equipment in the amount of
$3.6 million and long term debt repayments in the amount of $833,000.  The
Company made a $1 million draw against it's bank line of credit to repurchase
treasury stock.

The Company's current credit facility is made up of a $10 million revolving
line of credit and a six year $10 million term note.  The Company's current
availability under the revolving line of credit is approximately $4 million.
Management believes that the credit facility and cash generated from operations
will be sufficient to accommodate the Company's current operations, internal
growth, and possible future acquisitions.

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

The Company is in the process of reviewing and making necessary modifications
to its computer systems for year 2000 compliance.  Costs incurred to date to
modify the Company's computer systems have not been material and future costs
are not expected to be material.  Although the Company expects its modifications
will be successfully completed on a timely basis, there can be no assurance that
it will be completed on the time schedule anticipated.  The Company is also
communicating with vendors and others with which it does business to coordinate
Year 2000 compliance.  There can be no assurance that the systems of other
companies and agencies on which the Company relies will be timely converted or
that such failure by other entities would not have an adverse impact on the
Company's operations.

- -------------------------

This Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements.  Such statements are
typically punctuated by words or phrases such as "anticipates," "estimate,"

well as the Pacific Rim countries economic conditions; as well as the other
risks detailed herein and in previous Company reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
