                  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
                  ------------------------------------------


1.    A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is presented on
      Page 19 and 20 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 November 30, 1998, and the
      results of its operations and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended
      November 30, 1998 and November 30, 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 non-owner 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 7% and 10% for the three month and nine month
periods ended November 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997.  Net
sales in the Electrical Products Segment were down $221,000 or 3% for the three
month period ended November 30, 1998, and were up $594,000 or 2% for the nine
month period ended November 30, 1998, as compared to the same periods in 1997.
Drilling Rig Electrical Systems Co. (DRESCO) acquired on February 23, 1998,
contributed $113,000 and $820,000 for the three and nine month periods ended
November 30, 1998.  Sales in the Electrical Products Segment excluding DRESCO
were $8.4 million and $26.9 million for the three and nine month periods ended
November 30, 1998, as compared to $8.7 million and $27.1 million for the same
periods in 1997.  Backlog continues to improve in the Electrical Products
Segment at $15.6 million compared to $12.2 million the prior year. Net sales in
the Galvanizing Segment were up $1.7 million or 23% for the three month period
ended November 30, 1998, and $3.7 million or 17% for the nine month period ended
November 30, 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 56.9 million and 165.3 million for the three and nine month
periods ended November 30, 1998 compared to 42.9 million and 135.4 million
during the same periods in 1997.  International Galvanizers contributed $885,000
and $2.5 million in sales for the three and nine month periods ended November
30, 1998 and produced 6.1 million and 17.3 million pounds respectively. Volumes
of steel produced were up 18% and 9% for the three and nine month periods ended
November 30, 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997 at the segment's other
nine locations.  The year to date average selling price decreased to $.1499 per
pound for 1998 from $.1552 in 1997.  Net sales in the Oil Field Products Segment
were down 6% for the three month period ended November 30, 1998, as compared to
1997 and were up 22% for the nine month period ended November 30, 1998 as
compared to 1997.  Even though year to date sales were up, margins in this
segment have been negatively impacted due to a down turn in the oil and gas
industry.

Consolidated gross profit (net sales less cost of sales) was relatively flat
for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 1998, as compared to the
same periods in 1997.  Operating income in the Electrical Products Segment was
down 25% and 14% for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 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 25% and 12% for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 1998
as compared to the same periods in 1997.  Total operating income in this segment
was $2 million and $5.8 million for the three and nine month periods ended
November 30, 1998 as compared to $1.6 million and $5.2 million in the same
periods in 1997. International Galvanizers contributed $67,000 for the quarter
and contributed $210,000 to the segment's operating income for the nine month
period ended November 30, 1998.  The Oil Field Products Segment showed operating
losses of $134,000 and $11,000 for the three and nine month periods ended
November 30, 1998 as compared to operating income of $133,000 and $475,000
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 nine month
periods ended November 30, 1998, compared to the same periods in 1997.

Interest expense was higher for the three and nine month periods ended November
30, 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, as well as the repurchase of the Company's
common stock on the open market through the course of fiscal 1999.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Net cash provided by operations was $8.5 million for the first nine months of
fiscal 1999 compared to  $1.0 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
$1.5 million.

During the period ended November 30, 1998, proceeds from operating activities
of $8.5 million and a $2 million draw against the Company's bank line of credit
were used to fund the purchase of plant equipment in the amount of $6 million,
make long term debt repayments in the amount of $1.25 million, and repurchase
treasury stock in the amount of $4 million.

The Company's credit facility as of November 30, 1998 was made up of a $10
million revolving line of credit and a six year $10 million term note.  In
January 1999, the Company's revolving line of credit was increased to $15
million and an additional $10 million term note was put into place by its
lender.  As of January 1999, the Company's current availability under the
revolving line of credit was approximately $10 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.
