         4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Basic net income per share equals net income divided by the
         weighted average shares outstanding for the six months
         ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  The computation of diluted
         net income per share includes all dilutive common stock
         equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding. The
         reconciliation between basic and diluted earnings per share
         is as follows:

                                    Basic   Basic   Diluted    Diluted
                      Income       Shares    EPS     Shares     EPS

         On July 1, 1999, the Company purchased all the outstanding
         capital stock of K & W Metal Fabricators, Inc. d/b/a
         Weather Guard Building Products (Weather Guard) for
         approximately $7 million in cash.  Weather Guard
         manufactures a full line of metal building products,
         including rain-carrying systems, metal roofing and roofing
         accessories, for industrial, commercial and residential
         applications.

         These acquisitions have been accounted for under the
         purchase method with the results of their operations
         consolidated with the Company's results of operations from
         the respective acquisition dates. The aggregate excess of
         the purchase prices of these acquisitions over the fair
         market values of the net assets of the acquired companies
         is being amortized over 35 years from the acquisition dates
         using the straight-line method.

         The following information presents the pro forma consolidated
         condensed results of operations as if the acquisitions had
         occurred on January 1, 1999.  The pro forma amounts may not
         be indicative of the results that actually would have been
         achieved had the acquisitions occurred as of January 1,
         1999 and are not necessarily indicative of future results
         of the combined companies.

         capital stock of Milcor Limited Partnership (Milcor) for
         approximately $42.5 million in cash.  The results of
         operations of Milcor will be consolidated with the
         Company's results of operations from the acquisition date
         for the quarter ending September 30, 2000.

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

         Net sales of $181.5 million for the second quarter ended
         June 30, 2000 increased 13.3% from net sales of $160.2
         million for the prior year's second quarter despite the
         elimination of approximately $5 million in sales from
         disposed of operations that were included in the prior
         year's second quarter sales. Net sales of $349.2 million
         for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased 14.8% from
         net sales of $304.0 million for the same period of 1999.
         These increases resulted from including net sales of
         Weather Guard (acquired July 1, 1999), Hi-Temp (acquired
         August 1, 1999), Brazing Concepts (acquired November 1,
         1999) and Hughes (acquired December 1, 1999) (collectively,
         the Acquisitions) together with sales growth at existing
         operations.

         Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to
         79.8% for the second quarter ended June 30, 2000 from 79.4%
         for the prior year's second quarter.  Cost of sales
         decreased to 79.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2000
         from 79.8% for the same period in 1999.  The improvement
         for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was primarily due to
         the Acquisitions, which have historically generated higher
         margins than the Company's existing operations, partially
         offset by product mix and higher raw material costs at
         existing operations during the second quarter of 2000.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
         percentage of net sales decreased to 10.6% for the second
         quarter ended June 30, 2000 from 11.0% for the same period
         of 1999 and were 11.3% for the six month periods ended June
         30, 2000 and June 30, 1999. The decrease for the second
         quarter was primarily due to decreases in expenses of
         existing operations as a percentage of net sales, slightly
         offset by higher costs attributable to the Acquisitions.

         Interest expense for the second quarter and six months
         ended June 30, 2000 increased by $1.1 million and $2.0
         million, respectively, from the same periods in 1999
         primarily due to higher interest rates in effect and higher
         average borrowings during 2000 to finance the  Acquisitions
         and capital expenditures.

         As a result of the above, income before taxes increased by
         $.9 million and $2.7 million for the second quarter and six
         months ended June 30, 2000 from the same periods of 1999.

         Income taxes for the second quarter and six months ended
         June 30, 2000 approximated $5.3 million and $9.4 million,
         respectively, and were based on a 40.5% effective tax rate
         in both periods.


         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         During the first six months of 2000, the Company's working
         capital increased to $123.7 million.  Additionally,
         shareholders' equity increased by $13.3 million at June 30,
         2000 to $198.7 million.

         The Company's principal capital requirements are to fund
         its operations, including working capital, the purchase and
         funding of improvements to its facilities, machinery and
         equipment and to fund acquisitions.

                                9 of 12
<PAGE>

         Net cash provided by operations of $14.0 million resulted
         primarily from net income of $13.9 million, depreciation
         and amortization of $10.3 million, and an increase in
         accounts payable and accrued expenses of $12.2 million,
         offset by increases in accounts receivable of $18.2 million
         and inventory of $1.3 million, necessary to service
         increased sales levels, and an increase in other assets of
         $3.2 million.

         The $14.0 million of net cash provided by operations and
         $7.2 million in net proceeds from the sale of property and
         equipment were used to fund capital expenditures of $9.3
         million and cash dividends of $.7 million and to pay down
         $10.0 million of the Company's credit facility.

         At June 30, 2000 the Company's revolving credit facility
         available approximated $280 million, with borrowings of
         approximately $221 million and an additional availability
         of approximately $59 million. On July 17, 2000, the Company
         increased the availability under its revolving credit
         facility to $290 million.

         The Company believes that availability of funds under its
         credit facilities together with cash generated from
         operations will be sufficient to provide the Company with
         the liquidity and capital resources necessary to support
         its existing operations.


         Recent Accounting Pronouncement

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
         issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133
         Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
         Activities (FAS No. 133) which requires recognition of the
         fair value of derivatives in the statement of financial
         position, with changes in the fair value recognized either
         in earnings or as a component of other comprehensive income
         dependent upon the hedging nature of the derivative.
         Implementation of FAS No. 133 is required for the first
         quarter of fiscal 2001.  The Company does not believe that
         FAS No. 133 will have a material impact on its earnings or
         other comprehensive income.


         Safe Harbor Statement

         The Company wishes to take advantage of the Safe Harbor
         provisions included in the Private Securities Litigation
         Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act").  Statements by the Company,
         other than historical information, constitute "forward
         looking statements" within the meaning of the Act and may
         be subject to a number of risk factors.  Factors that could
         affect these statements include, but are not limited to,
         the following: the impact of changing steel prices on the
         Company's results of operations; changing demand for the
         Company's products and services; and changes in interest or
         tax rates.
