Board of Directors
Wilkinson Company, Inc.
Stow, Ohio

         We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Wilkinson Company,
Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of EFCO, Inc.) as of September 30, 1996, and the
related statements of income, shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year
then ended. 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 audit.

         We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wilkinson Company,
Inc. as of September 30, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

               A. ORGANIZATION - Wilkinson Company, Inc. (the "Company") is a
                  wholly-owned subsidiary of EFCO, Inc. (the "Parent Company").
                  The Company, which is a sheet metal fabricator of rubbish and
                  linen chutes, stainless steel corner guards and bumper rails
                  and miscellaneous sheet metal parts, provides credit to its
                  customers. These customers serve primarily the construction
                  industry and are located throughout the United States.

               B. REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company recognizes revenue on
                  contracts using the completed contract method of accounting
                  for both financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes.
                  This method is used because the typical contract is completed
                  in three months or less and financial position and results of
                  operations do not vary significantly from those which would
                  result from use of the percentage-of-completion method.

               C. 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.

               D. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly
                  liquid investments with an original maturity of three months
                  or less to be cash equivalents, and maintains cash at various
                  financial institutions which may exceed federally insured
                  amounts.

               E. MARKETABLE SECURITIES - At September 30, 1995, the Company had
                  marketable securities (stocks and corporate bonds) of
                  $789,230, at cost, which approximated market value. All
                  marketable securities were transferred to the Parent Company
                  during the year ended September 30, 1996, at cost, which
                  approximated market value.

               F. INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost
                  (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market.

               G. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant, and equipment
                  are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided over their
                  estimated useful lives (building and improvements over 10-30
                  years, machinery and equipment over 5-12 years, other over
                  4-10 years) by use of the straight-line and declining balance
                  methods. Depreciation expense for the year ended September 30,
                  1996 was $75,739. The cost and accumulated depreciation of
                  assets sold or retired are removed from the respective
                  accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in earnings.

                  Maintenance, repairs and minor repairs are charged to expense
                  when incurred. Additions and major renewals are capitalized.

               H. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The fair values of cash,
                  accounts receivable, accounts payable and other short-term
                  obligations approximate their carrying values because of the
                  short maturity of these financial instruments.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

            I. INCOME TAXES - The Company is included in the Parent Company's
               consolidated tax returns. The Company is allocated a portion of
               the Parent Company's tax expense based on the Company's
               proportion of taxable income to the taxable income of the
               consolidated group as a whole. At September 30, 1996, $211,700 of
               accrued taxes is due to the Parent Company. The Company utilizes
               Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"),
               "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and
               liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for
               income taxes. The difference between the financial statement and
               tax basis of assets and liabilities is determined annually.
               Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for those
               temporary differences that have future tax consequences using the
               current enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the periods in
               which they are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
               allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce the deferred
               tax asset to the amount that will, more likely than not, be
               realized. Income tax expense is the current tax payable or
               refundable for the period plus or minus the net change in the
               deferred tax assets and liabilities.

NOTE 2.     INCOME TAXES

            The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109. The deferred
            taxes are the result of temporary differences arising from
            differences in financial reporting and tax reporting methods
            primarily for depreciation, franchise taxes, vacation accruals and
            bad debts.

            The components of the provision for taxes on income for the year
            ended September 30, 1996 are:

              Current tax provision:
                  Federal                                         $211,700
                  State and local                                   57,200
                                                                   -------
                                                                   268,900

              Deferred tax provision relating to:
                  Income                                            14,300
                                                                   -------
              Total provision for income taxes                    $283,200
                                                                   =======

            At September 30, 1996, the Company's net deferred income tax asset
            consists of the following:

              Deferred tax assets:
                Allowance for uncollectible accounts             $ 6,800
                Vacation accruals                                 14,700
                Franchise taxes                                   11,800
                Depreciation                                      15,500
                                                                  ------
                  Total deferred tax assets                       48,800

              Deferred tax liabilities                               -
                                                                  ------

                  Net deferred tax asset                         $48,800
                                                                  ======

                    (A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF EFCO, INC.)

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 3.     RETIREMENT PLAN

            The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan which
            covers substantially all employees who are employed within the
            collective bargaining unit. This plan provides monthly benefits that
            are based on an employee's years of service and the applicable
            benefit rate, as defined. The Company funds the pension plan in
            accordance with the funding provisions of the Employee Retirement
            Income Security Act of 1974.

            Total pension expense for the plan was $11,874 for the year ended
            September 30, 1996. The components of pension expense for the plan
            are as follows:

               Service cost - benefits earned during the period       $ 10,878
               Interest cost on projected benefit obligation            31,555
               Actual return on plan assets - (gain)                   (32,258)
               Net amortization and deferral                             1,699
                                                                       -------
               Net periodic pension cost                              $ 11,874
                                                                       =======

            The following table sets forth the unfunded status of the Company's
            pension plan and the related amounts recognized in the Company's
            balance sheet as of September 30, 1996 are:

              Actuarial present value of benefit obligations:
                Vested benefit obligation                              464,177
                Nonvested benefit obligation                               971
                                                                       -------
                Accumulated benefit obligation                         465,148
                Effect of projected future compensation levels            -
                                                                       -------
                Projected benefit obligation                           465,148
              Plan assets at fair value                                454,503
                                                                       -------
              Deficiency of plan assets over projected
                benefit obligation                                      10,645
              Unrecognized net loss                                    (47,770)
              Unrecognized prior service costs                         (21,735)
              Unrecognized net transition asset                          4,304
                                                                       -------
              Pension asset recognized in balance sheet               $ 54,556
                                                                       =======

            The weighted average discount rate used in determining the actuarial
            present value of the projected benefit obligation was 7.5 percent.
            The expected long-term rate of return on assets was 8.0 percent. Due
            to the nature of the plan, the rate of change in future compensation
            levels does not affect the projected benefit obligation.

            The Company also has a defined contribution plan, which includes a
            cash or deferred provision, covering all employees not within the
            collective bargaining unit (primarily administrative personnel),
            meeting certain requirements. The Company makes a matching
            contribution in an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of amounts
            contributed by a participant. Additionally, at management's
            discretion, an amount may be contributed out of current or
            accumulated profits. For the year ended September 30, 1996, the
            Company made matching contributions of $7,282 and discretionary
            contributions of $6,000.
