                          Alloy Piping Products Group
                             Shreveport, Louisiana

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                          July 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995


NOTE  1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Alloy Piping Products, Inc. and its affiliates (the Group) manufacture and
distribute stainless and carbon steel buttweld pipe fittings and other
stainless steel pipe products.  The Group has a manufacturing facility in
Shreveport, Louisiana.  Distribution facilities are located in Shreveport,
Louisiana; Houston, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Branchburg, New Jersey; Phoenix,
Arizona; and Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Sales offices are located in Shreveport,
Louisiana; Houston, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Branchburg, New Jersey; Phoenix,
Arizona; and Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Principles of Combination - The combined financial statements include the
accounts of a group of affiliated entities which are under the common ownership
of Mr. Dale Brown and other family members.  Alloy Piping Products, Inc. (the
Company) is the primary company of the affiliated group.  The entities in the
Group are as follows:

     Alloy Piping Products, Inc.
     APP Speedline, Inc.
     Speedline Partnership

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Each member of the group has a July 31 fiscal year end except Speedline
Partnership, which has a fiscal year ending December 31.  The financial
information of Speedline Partnership has been restated in the combined
financial statements to reflect a year end date of July 31.

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist principally of
demand deposits at commercial banks and investments in overnight repurchase
agreements.  Demand deposit  balances, as reflected in the bank's records, are
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000 for each
depositor. Balances of demand deposits, as reflected in the bank's records, in
excess of the federally insured amount are $3,560,147 and $504,343 for the
years ended July 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  Overnight repurchase
agreements totaling $3,522,076 at July 31, 1995, are secured by mortgage backed
securities.

Concentration of Credit Risk - The Group extends unsecured credit through open
trade receivables to its customers for wholesale and retail sales of pipe
fittings.  The customers are located throughout the United States and Canada.

Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are pledged to secure debt to LaSalle
National Bank.  For financial statement purposes, an allowance for potential
bad debts is established by management based upon a specific review of accounts
and all known bad debts are charged off as they are identified.  This method
does not materially depart from generally accepted accounting principles.  The
allowance for potential bad debts was $-0- for the years ended July 31, 1993,
1994 and 1995.  There were $78,716, $107,700 and $213,307 of bad debts charged
off for the years ended July 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  The
Company collected $263,780, $14,413 and $10,352 of previously charged-off
receivables during the years ended July 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

                                      -5-

Inventories - Inventories consist of raw materials, work in progress, and
finished goods.  All inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.
Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant, and equipment are carried at
cost.  Major additions and betterments are charged to the property accounts
while replacements, maintenance, and repairs which do not extend the useful
lives of the respective assets are expensed.  When property is retired or
otherwise disposed of, the cost of the property is removed from the asset
account, accumulated depreciation is charged with an amount equal to the
depreciation provided, and the gain or loss, if any, is credited or charged to
income.

For financial statement purposes, assets are depreciated using the straight
line method over their estimated useful lives.  For tax purposes, assets placed
in service prior to January 1, 1981, are depreciated using both double
declining and straight line methods of depreciation.  Accelerated methods are
utilized for property placed in service after 1980.

Investments - Investments in entities in which the Group has a 20% to 50%
interest are accounted for under the equity method.

Loan Origination Costs - Loan origination costs are capitalized and amortized
over the term of the related loan using the straight line method.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost and are
being amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of
one to five years.

Profit Sharing Plan - The Company implemented a defined contribution profit
sharing plan covering all qualified employees in 1989.  The Company makes a
discretionary contribution to the plan not to exceed 15% of eligible employee
compensation.  The contributions to the profit sharing plan were $231,750,
$235,250 and $300,000 for the years ended July 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995,
respectively.

Speedline Partnership is not a tax paying entity for income tax purposes, and
thus no income tax expense related to its income has been recorded in the
statements.  Income from the partnership is taxed to the partners in their
individual returns.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from income
and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in
different periods.  Deferred taxes are classified as current or noncurrent,
depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they
relate.  Deferred taxes arising from timing differences that are not related to
an asset or liability are classified as current or noncurrent depending on the
periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse.  The principal
temporary differences relate to the use of accelerated methods of depreciation
and installment gains for income tax purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities
as of July 31 are as follows:

a bank to be drawn upon as needed. Included in this amount is an outstanding
irrevocable letter of credit for foreign purchases in the amount of $112,512.
This letter of credit is unsecured and  has not  been presented for payment as
of July 31, 1995.

The Company also had an outstanding letter of credit reserve for inventory
purchases in the amount of $173,537 at July 31, 1995.  This letter of credit
reserve is secured by pledge of trade accounts receivable, inventory and goods,
contract rights, instruments, documents and general intangibles, and is further
secured by junior liens on certain real estate and equipment, and the
continuing guaranty of Ronald Dale Brown, Sr., stockholder of the Company, and
Mildred Gayle O'Pry Brown.  See Note 6.

included intangible assets totaling $175,000 to be amortized over the
straight-line method over 1 - 5 years.

NOTE 11 INVESTMENT IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES

Products, L.L.C., also a manufacturer of stainless and carbon steel pipe
products, and Northland Avenue Properties, L.L.C. for $750,000. The investment
is accounted for using the equity method, as management believes this method
appropriately accounts for the activities of the acquired entities.  The
difference between the amount at which the investment is carried  by the
Company and the amount of underlying equity in the net assets of the acquired
entities is not significant.

The Board of Directors
Alloy Piping Products Group
Shreveport, Louisiana


We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Alloy Piping
Products Group as of July 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related combined
statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for the three years ended
July 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Group's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide 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 Alloy Piping Products Group
as of July 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the three years ended July 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
