ITEM 7 (a): HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PHILLIPS & JOHNSTON, INC.


                      INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Phillips & Johnston, Inc.:


     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Phillips & Johnston, 
Inc. (an Illinois corporation) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the 
related statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the 
years 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 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 Phillips & 
Johnston, Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its 
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

     As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, certain errors 
resulting in an understatement of previously reported liabilities as of 
December 31, 1997 and 1996 were discovered by management of the company during
the current year.  Accordingly, the 1997 and 1996 financial statements have 
been restated and an adjustment has been made to retained earnings as of 
January 1, 1996 to correct the errors.

                    Notes to Financial Statements

(1)     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     Phillips & Johnston, Inc. (the Company) is a manufacturers' sales 
representative and a value added processor of tubing products.  The Company 
has general office and warehouse facilities in Illinois and Michigan.  The 
Company was incorporated in Illinois on June 6, 1963.  

     Accounts receivable -

     Accounts receivable represent short-term credit granted to the Company's 
customers for which collateral is generally not required. 

     Inventory -

     Inventories, which consist principally of finished goods, are valued at 
the lower of cost or market, using average cost.  Cost is determined using the 
LIFO (last-in, first-out) method.

     Property and equipment -

     Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Renewals and betterment of 
property are accounted for as additions to the asset accounts.  Repairs and 
maintenance are expensed as incurred.  Upon retirement or other disposition, 
the cost is removed from the fixed asset account and the related depreciation 
previously provided is removed from the accumulated depreciation account.  
Gains or losses on such retirements are included in earnings.

     Depreciation -

     Depreciation is computed utilizing straight-line and accelerated methods.
The cost of all depreciable property is charged to operations over their 
estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years.

     Credit risk -

     Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to 
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts 
receivable.  The Company places its cash and deposits with high credit quality
financial institutions.  At times, bank cash balances may be immaterially in 
excess of the federally insured limits.

(1)     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:  (Continued)

     Income taxes -

     Effective December 31, 1986, the Company elected to be taxed under the
provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under those 
provisions, the shareholders are liable for individual income taxes on the 
Company's taxable income.  The Company is responsible for paying the state and
city income taxes.  Taxes currently payable are $61,000 and $70,000 for the 
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Cash paid for income 
taxes during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $54,046 and $62,
142, respectively.

     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.

 (2)     LIFO INVENTORY:

     As disclosed in note 1, the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method of valuing 
inventories is used.  If the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method was used, the 
income before taxes would have been $19,000 lower and $18,000 higher for the 
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Additionally, the 
inventory would have been approximately $319,000 and $338,000 higher than 
reported at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

(3)     NOTES PAYABLE: 

     The Company has a line-of-credit agreement ($2,000,000) and a term note 
($500,000) with a bank.  The line of credit matures on April 30, 1999, bearing
interest at prime, collateralized by all Company assets and personally 
guaranteed by the shareholders of the Company.   The shareholders have 
personally guaranteed up to $750,000 of the line of credit with each 
shareholders' guarantee being limited to the lesser of 50% of the debt or 
$375,000. There were no outstanding borrowings on the line of credit at 
December 31, 1997 and 1996. 

                                                     1997           1996

consisted of 830,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the Shares). By 
virtue of the Merger, P&J became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the 
Company, and all of P&J's outstanding capital stock prior to the Merger was 
converted into rights to receive a pro rata portion of the Shares.  The Merger 
is being accounted for under the pooling of interests method of accounting.

                       Consolidated Balance Sheet

    The pro forma consolidated balance sheet, which has been prepared utilizing
the historical balances of Webco Industries, Inc. ("Webco") and Phillips & 
Johnston, Inc. ("P&J"), as of April 30, 1998, is based upon the assumption 
that the acquisition by Webco, accounted for under the pooling of interests 
method, occurred as of April 30, 1998 and includes the following pro forma 
adjustments:

(a) Adjustment to eliminate: (1) Webco's accounts receivable balance and P&J's
    corresponding accounts payable balance relating to Webco tubing sold to 
    P&J and; (2) Webco's accounts payable balance and P&J's corresponding 
    accounts receivable balance for sales commissions related to tubing sales 
    made by P & J on Webco's behalf.

(b) Adjustment to conform the method of inventory valuation for P & J from the
    Last In-First Out ("LIFO") method to the weighted average method used by
    Webco.

(c) Adjustment to eliminate intercompany profit in P & J's inventories.

(d) Adjustment to record issuance of 830,000 shares of Webco common stock in
    conjunction with the acquisition.

    The pro forma balance sheet should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and related notes thereto of Webco Industries, Inc. and 
Phillips and Johnston, Inc. as of July 31, 1997 and December 31, 1997, 
respectively.

                          Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma
                         Consolidated Statement of Income

    The pro forma consolidated statement of income, which has been prepared
utilizing the historical results of Webco Industries, Inc. ("Webco") and
Phillips & Johnston, Inc. ("P&J"), for the nine month period ended April 30,
1998, is based upon the assumption that the acquisition by Webco, accounted
for under the pooling of interests method, occurred prior to the earliest 
period presented. The pooling of interests method accounts for a business
combination as the uniting of the ownership interest of two or more companies
by the exchange of equity securities. The stockholder groups do not withdraw
or invest any assets but in effect exchange common stocks. While Webco and
P & J have non-conforming fiscal periods, the results presented here are for
the dates indicated for both entities.  However, because of the overlapping
period created when P & J's calendar year was conformed to a July 31 fiscal
year, $749,000 of earnings of P & J (the period August 1, 1997 to December 31,
1997) are included in both Webco's consolidated nine month period ended April
30, 1998 and the year ended July 31, 1997.  Equity has been adjusted so that
the duplicate amount is reflected in equity only once.

  The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income includes the 
following pro forma adjustments:

(a) Adjustment to eliminate sales recognized by Webco to P & J, and the 
    related cost of sales recognized by P & J.

(b) Adjustment to eliminate intercompany profit in inventory held by P & J 
    which had been purchased from Webco

(c) Adjustment to eliminate commission expense and the corresponding 
    commission income for brokered tubing sales made by P & J on Webco's
     behalf.

(d) Adjustment to record the estimated federal and state income tax expense 
    for P & J for the current period, which had not previously been recognized 
    due to P & J's status as a Sub-S Corporation.

The pro forma income statements should be read in conjunction with the audited 
financial statements and related notes thereto of Webco Industries, Inc. for 
the year ended July 31, 1997, as included in the Company's Form 10-K for the 
year ended July 31, 1997, and with the audited financial statements and 
related notes thereto of Phillips and Johnston, Inc. for the year ended 
December 31, 1997. These pro forma statements may not be indicative of the 
results that actually would have occurred if the combination had been in 
effect on the dates indicated or which may by obtained in the future.

                      Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma
                    Consolidated Statements of Income

     The pro forma consolidated statements of income, which have been prepared
utilizing the historical results of Webco Industries, Inc. ("Webco") and 
Phillips & Johnston, Inc. ("P&J"), for the years ended July 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995 are based upon an accounting for the acquisition as a pooling of 
interests, and accordingly, all prior years financial statements have been 
restated to reflect the acquisition. The pooling of interests method accounts 
for a business combination as the uniting of the ownership interest of two or 
more companies by the exchange of equity securities. The stockholder groups do
not withdraw or invest any assets but in effect exchange common stocks. 
Because Webco and P & J have non-conforming fiscal periods, the results 
presented here are for the dates indicated for Webco, however they are for the
fiscal periods ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 for P & J. Because of 
the overlapping period created when P & J's calendar year was conformed to a 
July 31 fiscal year, $749,000 of earnings of P & J (the period August 1, 1997 
to December 31, 1997) are included in both Webco's consolidated nine month 
period ended April 30, 1998 and the year ended July 31, 1997. Equity has been
adjusted so that the duplicate amount is reflected in equity only once.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income includes the 
following pro forma adjustments:

(a) Adjustment to eliminate sales recognized by Webco during the current
    period to P & J, and the related cost of sales recognized by P & J.

(b) Adjustment to eliminate intercompany profit in inventory held by P & J 
    which had been purchased from Webco

(c) Adjustment to eliminate commission expense and the corresponding 
    commission income for brokered tubing sales made by P & J on Webco's
    behalf.

(d) Adjustment to record the estimated federal and state income tax expense 
    for P & J for the current period, which had not previously been 
    recognized due to P & J's status as a Sub-S Corporation.

The pro forma income statements should be read in conjunction with the audited 
financial statements and related notes thereto of Webco Industries, Inc. for 
the years ended July 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995 as included in the Company's 
Form 10-K for the corresponding periods, and with the audited financial 
statements and related notes thereto of Phillips and Johnston, Inc. for the 
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.  These pro forma statements may not be 
indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the combination 
had been in effect on the dates indicated or which may by obtained in the 
future.
