      consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
      (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly

      of its operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended May 31,
      1999 and 1998.

      outstanding during each year, adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock
      options.

5.   Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
     Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is required to be adopted in
     years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Statement permits early adoption
     as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after its issuance. The expected
     date of adoption by the Company is not yet known.

     The Statement will require the Company to recognize all derivatives on the
     balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be
     adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge,
     depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of
     derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the
     hedged assets,

     liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other
     comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The
     ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be
     immediately recognized in earnings. The Company has not yet determined what
     the effect of Statement No. 133 will be on the earnings and financial
     position of the Company



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


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

Consolidated net sales for the three-month period ending May 31, 1999 as
compared to the same period in 1998 were relatively flat at $20.7 million for
both periods.  Net sales in the Manufactured Products Segment were down $1.4
million or 11.6% as compared to the same period in 1998 primarily due to the
depressed petroleum industry.  Sales of electrical products in the Manufactured
Products Segment were relatively flat while tubular products sales were down
52.5%.  Backlog for the segment was relatively flat for the quarter versus the
same quarter last year. Backlog for electrical products in this segment was up
$4 million over the same period in 1998 primarily due to the deregulation of the
electrical industry and the need for increased domestic power generation.
Tubular products backlog was down to $300,000 for the quarter ending May
31,1999, from $4.7 million in the previous May quarter.  Net sales in the
Services Segment, which is made up of galvanizing services, were up 16.5% or
$1.4 million in 1999 as compared to the same quarter in 1998. Total pounds
shipped and sales for the quarter ending May 31, 1999 were 61.7 million pounds
and $9.7 million as compared to 53.8 million pounds and $8.3 million in 1998.
The volume of steel processed increased by 14.7% due to an increase in project
oriented work.  The average selling price per 100 pounds increased from $14.80
in 1998 to $15.21 in 1999 for the three-month period.

Consolidated operating income (net sales less operating expense) was relatively
flat at $3.5 million for the period ending May 31, 1999, as compared to $3.6
million in 1998.  Operating income in the Manufactured Products Segment was down
31.3%.  Margins were reduced because of downward pricing, low volumes, and the
liquidation of excess inventory in petroleum related products.  In the Services
Segment operating income was up 22% for the quarter ending May 31,1999 compared
to same period in 1998.  Total operating income in this segment for the quarter
ending May 31, 1999 was $2.5 million compared to $2 million in 1998.  Increased
operating income was due to increased volumes and selling prices, coupled with
flat spending for the compared periods.

General corporate expenses (selling, G & A expense and other (income) expense)
as a percent of net sales were consistent for the first quarter ending May 31,
1999, at 13.3% as compared to 12.4% during the same quarter in 1998.

Net interest expense for the quarter ending May 31, 1999, was $353,000, an
increase of $125,000 from $228,000 in the first quarter of 1998.  The additional
interest expense is due to a higher outstanding loan balance associated with the
repurchase of Aztec common stock in 1998.  With reduced shares outstanding due
to the stock repurchase, diluted earnings per share increased to $.30 per share
for the quarter ending May 31, 1999 versus $.26 per share for 1998, an increase
of 15.4% or .04 per share.

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

Net cash provided by operations was $4.7 million for the first three months of
fiscal 2000 compared to $2.5 million for the first quarter in fiscal 1999.  The
$4.7 million consisted of $1.4 million in net profits, $1.1 million from
depreciation and amortization, and $2.2 million from other changes primarily an
increase in outstanding payables.

During the quarter ended May 31, 1999, proceeds from operating activities of
$4.7 million were used to repay debt in the amount of $4.3 million and purchase
plant equipment in the amount of $597,000.

The Company's current credit facility is made up of two term notes both in the
amount of $10 million each.  The Company also has a revolving line of credit in
the amount of $15 million of which $10.3 million is available for future use.
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 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.
