     options.

     earnings per share:

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


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

Consolidated net sales increased 35% for the three-month period ended May 31,
2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. Net sales in the Manufactured
Products Segment were up $3.9 million or 36% for the three-month period ended
May 31, 2000, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2000. Quarterly results
in the Manufactured Products Segment for the period ended May 31, 2000 include
three months of revenues from CGIT Westboro, Inc. which was acquired on
September 1, 1999. Backlog for the Manufactured Products Segment at the end of
May 31, 2000, was $32 million compared to $18.2 million at the end of May 31.
1999. Net sales in the Services Segment, which is made up of the Company's
galvanizing operations, were up $3.4 million or 35% for the three-month period
ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Quarterly
results for the period ended May 31, 2000 include three months of revenues from
Westside Galvanizing Services, Inc. acquired on January 31, 2000.

Consolidated operating income (net sales less operating expenses) was up 36% for
the three month period ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the same period in
1999. Operating income in the Manufactured Products Segment was up $953,000 or
89% for the three month period ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the same period
in 1999. Increases in operating income were experienced in the majority of this
segments product lines for the quarter ending May 31, 2000 as compared to the
same quarter in the prior year. Improvements in operating efficiencies and
increased volumes contributed to this increase. In the Services Segment,
operating income was up $321,000 or 13% for the quarter ended May 31, 2000 as
compared to the same period in 1999. Increased operating income in the Services
Segment was due to increased volumes and improved operating efficiencies coupled
with the addition of Westside Galvanizing Services for the compared periods.

General corporate expenses (selling, general and administrative expense, and
other (income) expense) for the quarter ended May 31, 2000 were up $843,000 or
30% as compared to the same period in the same period in the prior year. As a
percent of sales, general corporate expenses were 12.8% for the quarter ended
May 31, 2000 compared to 13.2% for the quarter ended May 31, 1999.

Net interest expense for the quarter ended May 31, 2000 was $628,000, up 78%
from the same quarter in fiscal 2000. This increase was due to larger
outstanding loan balances during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 associated
with the acquisitions made during fiscal 2000.

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

Net cash provided by operations was $4.6 million for the three-month period
ended May 31, 2000 compared to $5.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2000.
Net cash provided by operations was generated by $1.9 million in net income,
$1.4 million in depreciation and amortization, and $1.3 million in other changes
in assets and liabilities. During the three month period ended May 31, 2000,
capital improvements were made in the amount of $987,000, long-term debt was
repaid in the amount of $3.1 million, and cash dividends of $770,000 were paid.

The Company has a credit facility with a bank that provides for a $20 million
revolving line of credit, a $10 million term note, and a $17.5 million term
note. At the end of May 31, 2000, the Company had $7.5 million outstanding under
the revolving line of credit and $25.2 million outstanding under the two term
facilities. At May 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $10.2 million
available under the revolving line of credit.

Management believes that it's current credit facility coupled with the Company's
borrowing capacity along with cash generated from operations will be sufficient
to accommodate the Company's current operations, internal growth and possible
acquisitions.
