                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1  -  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and do not include
all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 1995. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have not been examined by an independent accountant in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, but in the opinion of management,
such consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, to fairly report the Company's
financial position and consolidated results of operations. The consolidated
results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year.

In May 1995, the Company announced a 3 for 2 stock split for shareholders of
record on May 31, 1995, payable on June 2, 1995. The earnings per share
calculations and all share information included in these financial statements
have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the stock split.


NOTE 2  -  SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

The Company incurred long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $409,983
and $326,638 in connection with the purchase of property and equipment during
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

ITEM 2.                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $14,427,228, reflecting an
increase of 22.6% from the comparable period in 1995. This increase is primarily
a result of the acquisition of Flow Components, Inc. (a Houston-based
manufacturer of stainless steel forged flanges) which became effective as of
January 1, 1996.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of 1996 decreased to
21.9%, as compared to 30.1% for the first quarter of 1995. This resulted from a
period of declining stainless steel prices, whereas the corresponding period in
1995 was a period of increasing stainless steel prices. As stainless steel
prices decline, the Company's profit margin narrows as relatively higher cost
inventory is sold. The opposite is true as stainless steel prices increase,
which occurred in the first quarter of 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales remained
relatively consistent in the first quarter of 1996 with the comparable period in
1995 as it declined to 12.9% from 13.3%, respectively. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 19.3% in the first three months of 1996, as
compared with the first three months of 1995 due to general business growth.


                                        - 6 -


<PAGE>

Interest expense as a percentage of sales increased to 5.1% for the first
quarter of 1996 as compared with 2.7% for the first quarter in 1995. This was
primarily due to an increase in the level of indebtedness resulting from the
financing of the Flow Components' acquisition, and capital improvement projects
such as the buttweld fitting operation, the ornamental tubing operation and
expansion of the Auburndale manufacturing facility.

Net income decreased to $358,980 for the first quarter of 1996, as compared with
$1,019,387 generated during the first quarter of 1995. This decrease is largely
attributable to narrower gross profit margins for the first quarter of 1996 as
compared to the comparable period in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 30,
1995, as subsequently amended (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among the
Company, as Buyer, and James Read Boles, James T. Callier, Jr., William H.
Blaney, Jr. and Thomas Reinhart (collectively, the "Stockholders"), on January
23, 1996 (to be effective January 1, 1996) all of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of Flow Components, Inc. ("Flow") were sold to the Company.
Messrs. Boles, Callier, Blaney, and Reinhart were the only holders of capital
stock Flow prior to consummation of the Purchase Agreement. Flow Components is a
manufacturer of stainless steel forged flanges, which are used as pipe
connectors and are distributed to users of stainless steel pipe.

                                        - 7 -


<PAGE>

The Purchase Price for the Flow Components capital stock was $3,650,000 in cash
paid to the Stockholders at closing, and the distribution of 70,000 unregistered
shares of Company common stock to one of the Stockholders, Mr. Boles, (who was
the sole officer and director of Flow Components prior to the closing), certain
of which shares he assigned to certain employees of Flow Components at the
closing (the "Purchase Price"). Simultaneous with the closing, certain
obligations of Flow to the Stockholders, to a corporation affiliated with the
Stockholders, or on behalf of such affiliated corporation were paid by the
Company with the proceeds of a financing consummated by the Company in order to
provide the funds necessary to consummate the Purchase Agreement. At the closing
of the Purchase Agreement, in addition to the Purchase Price, the Company paid
an aggregate of approximately $2,900,000 to repay certain outstanding Flow
Components indebtedness and to purchase certain assets of a corporation
affiliated with the Stockholders ("Scarab Trading Corporation"). On April 22,
1996, the Flow Components subsidiary along with the Performance Metals
subsidiary were merged into the Company.

On January 22, 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries completed several
financing transactions, both to refinance existing revolving credit and leasing
line financings, as well as to provide specific financing for the acquisition of
Flow Components on January 23, 1996. With respect to such financings, the
Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated
January 22, 1996 (the "Loan Agreement") among the Company, as borrower, and
SunTrust Bank, Central Florida, National
                                        - 8 -


<PAGE>
Association ("SunTrust"), and SouthTrust Bank of Alabama, National Association
("SouthTrust"), as lenders (collectively, the "Lenders"). Pursuant to the Loan
Agreement, the Company is able to borrow up to $17,000,000 as a revolving credit
line and $4,500,000 on a term loan basis from the Lenders. The borrowing base
for all loans under the Loan Agreement is 85% of qualified accounts receivable
and 65% of eligible inventory (subject to a $15,000,000 cap on the value of
eligible inventory). Under the Loan Agreement, the maturity date for the term
loan shall be the earlier of December 31,1997, or the completion of a public
equity offering by the Company. The maturity date for borrowings under the
revolving loan is May 31, 1998. The interest rates on all borrowings under the
Loan Agreement are variable margins over either the fluctuating prime rate of
interest or the fluctuating LIBOR rate. The Loan Agreement contains certain
negative covenants to be observed by the Company, as well as certain financial
ratios which the Company must maintain.

Borrowings under the Loan Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the
Company and its subsidiaries, other than real property and specified equipment
already subject to liens in favor of other lenders.

At March 31, 1996, approximately $16.3 million was outstanding under the line of
credit owed to the Lenders with an additional $0.3 million reserved for an
outstanding letter of credit.

<PAGE>

The Company is currently negotiating to amend its revolving credit line under
the Loan Agreement by the end of May 1996, to increase its borrowing base and
increase the inventory cap.

In addition, on January 22, 1996 the Company also entered into a Loan Agreement
with SunTrust (the "Equipment Loan") pursuant to which the Company borrowed
approximately $3.9 million on a term loan basis. The proceeds of the Equipment
Loan were used to refinance specific items of equipment leased by the Company
and Flow Components and for general working capital purposes. The maturity date
of the Equipment Loan is February 1, 2001, and the loan is subject to a fixed
11.44% rate of interest. The Equipment Loan is secured by liens on specific
items of equipment owned by the Company.

Under the terms of a Master Finance Lease Agreement with SunTrust, dated as of
March 13, 1996, the Company financed the approximately $800,000 purchase price
of coil slitting machinery which is expected to be fully operational in the
third quarter of 1996.

In January 1996, the Company acquired a 78,382 square foot facility on an
approximately ten acre site located approximately 10 miles from the Auburndale
Facility, in Eaton Park, Florida. Machinery used to manufacture ornamental and
structural stainless steel tubing will be operated at this facility. The Eaton
Park facility is expected to begin production by June 1996 and become
fully-operational in the third quarter of

                                        - 10 -

1996. The Company financed 100% of the $750,000 purchase price of this facility
with SouthTrust Bank of Florida, N.A. The 15 year mortgage bears interest at a
fixed rate of 225 basis points in excess of the United States Treasury Note on
the date the interest rate was initially set, and is re-set every five years.

On April 24, 1996, the Company acquired a 10,000 square foot distribution
facility located in Acworth, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, in which it currently
conducts operations for approximately $300,000. The acquisition resulted from
the Company's exercise of its purchase option on this previously leased
property. The property was financed for $232,800 over a five year period under
the terms of a 15 year amortization with a balloon payment through SunTrust
Bank, Central Florida, National Association. The interest rate on this mortgage
is fixed at 9% per annum.
