<PAGE>
            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company is a Delaware corporation organized in 1986 and
is a leading manufacturer and distributor of underground systems
and products for the conveyance and containment of petroleum and
alcohol based motor vehicle fuels from underground storage tanks
to aboveground fuel dispensers.  The principal end users of the
Company's products are service stations, convenience stores and
other retail sellers of gasoline, gasohol and other motor vehicle
fuels, and government bodies, utilities and other fleet vehicle
operators.

Net Sales

     The Company's net sales for the quarter ended March 31,
1997, were $8.3 million compared to $7.0 million for the
corresponding quarter in 1996.  The increase was primarily
attributable to increased sales from the acquisition of American
Containment, Inc., as well as additional sales of underground
flexible piping systems.

Gross Profit

     The primary component of the Company's cost of sales is the
product manufacturing costs paid to various third party
manufacturers.  Other components are the variable and fixed costs
of operating the Company's warehouses, depreciation of molds,
tools and equipment, and warranty expense.  The Company's gross
profit for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was similar
at $2.6 million.

     The Company's gross profit percentage decreased to 31.9% for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997, compared to 36.6% for the
corresponding quarter in 1996.  The decrease was attributable to
increased pressure on pricing, an increase in freight costs and
manufacturing overhead, along with an increase in the cost of
certain purchased materials.

Operating Expense

     Selling, general and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related employee benefits, payroll
taxes, commissions, royalties, legal expenses and other general,
administrative and overhead costs.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were
$3.1 million compared to $2.4 million for the first quarter of
1996.  The increase was primarily attributable to increased legal
expenses incurred for litigation as well as additional
administrative costs associated with the acquisition of American
Containment, Inc.

Interest Expense

     Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was
$147,000 compared to $52,000 for the corresponding quarter in
1996.  The increase was due to the Company's borrowings on its
term loans for expansion purposes and an increase in the
Company's line of credit activity.

Amortization of Intangibles

     Amortization of intangibles consists of the amortization of
goodwill over a period of 40 years and the amortization of
various patents and licenses that are amortized on a straight-
line basis over the estimated lives of the patents (which range
from 13 to 17 years) at the acquisition date or subsequent
issuance date.

Income Taxes

     Income tax expense (benefit) for the quarter ended March 31,
1997 was ($295,000) compared to $33,000 for the corresponding
quarter in 1996.  The decrease was due to the decrease in the
Company's income before income taxes.

Net Income

     The Company's net income (loss) for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 was ($442,000) compared to $13,000 for the
corresponding quarter in 1996.  The decrease for the period is
the result of a decrease in gross margin due to, among other
things, increased pressure on pricing, as well as higher costs
associated with the acquisition of American Containment, Inc. and
certain litigation expense.

Seasonality and Economic Conditions

     The Company's sales are affected by the timing of planned
construction of new service stations and the retrofitting of
existing service stations by end users, both of which are
influenced by inclement weather and general economic conditions. 
Accordingly, the Company's net sales and operating results for
the quarter ended March 31 are generally adversely affected.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

     The Company had working capital of $7.3 million and
$8.3 million at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively.  The decrease in working capital was primarily
attributable to, among other things, warranty charges related to
the Enviroflex pipe, as well as purchases for expansion
purposes.

     The Company satisfies its working capital needs primarily
through funds generated by operations and by borrowings under a
$6.0 million unsecured line of credit facility with a commercial
bank.

     The Company believes that its presently available funds,
existing credit facility and the cash flow expected to be
generated from operations will be adequate to satisfy its
anticipated working capital requirements for the foreseeable
future.
