                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 (UNAUDITED)
                                      
1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Penda Corporation (the "Company"), manufactures and distributes plastic
bedliners and other accessories for pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, vans
and heavy duty trucks. The Company also distributes pickup truck accessories
manufactured by other companies.  Plastic pickup truck bedliners account for
approximately 80% of the Company's sales.  The Company's sales are principally
in the United States and Canada.  The Company operates primarily in one
business segment, light truck accessory products.

     These financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to   
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") 
and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments (all of which are
normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim
periods presented. These financial statements include the accounts of the
Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 as filed with the SEC.

2.   INVENTORIES

     Inventories at June 30, 1997 consist of the following (in thousands):

     Finished goods                $   4,110
     Work in process                     254
     Raw materials and supplies        2,240
                                   ---------
                                   $   6,604
                                   =========

3.   FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

     The financial statements of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries are
translated using the current exchange rate for assets and liabilities and the
weighted average exchange rate for the year for income statement items.
Resulting translation adjustments for non-highly inflationary economies are
recorded directly to a separate component of shareholders' equity.  Effective
January 1, 1997, Mexico was designated as a highly inflationary economy and all
translation adjustments after that date are included in the current period's
results of operations.


4.   COMMON STOCK

     In February 1997, pursuant to the termination of employment of a 
shareholder of the Company, the Company was required to purchase 1,835 shares
of common stock (which were cancelled) from the terminated employee at an
aggregate cost of $110,000.

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

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
included as Item 7 of Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Comparison of Quarters Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

        Net sales decreased $5.6 million or 21.8% as compared to the first
quarter of 1996.  The decline is primarily attributable to the  termination of
Company's supply contract with Ford Motor Company in February 1997 and, to a
lessor extent lower pricing in the aftermarket and lower fiberglass accessory
sales.  These sales declines were offset by an increase in bedliner sales to
other OEM accounts, including distribution revenues.

        Gross profit margin declined from 42.7% in the second quarter of 1996
to 30.8% in 1997.  The decline in gross profit margin was due primarily to
losses from the Company's fiberglass manufacturing subsidiary ("Tri-Glas"),
lower absorption of fixed costs due to lower bedliner volumes, higher bedliner
raw material costs, and lower average bedliner selling prices.  Tri-Glas's
losses resulted from a decline in sales of certain higher margin fiberglass
accessories and certain manufacturing inefficiencies, in part due to a new
product line.  Among other actions, the Company has instituted cost reductions
in April 1997 and raised the selling prices of certain lower margin products
during May 1997.  Management will be implementing a more comprehensive cost
reduction and sales enhancement plan during the balance of the year.

        Second quarter 1997 selling, general and administrative expenses
increased $149,000 or 5.2%.  As a percentage of sales, these expenses were
15.1% of sales in 1997, compared to 11.2% of sales in 1996.  Selling, general
and administrative expenses were higher in 1997 due to legal costs associated
with the various legal actions discussed in the Company's 1996 Form 10-K and in
Part II, Item 1 herein, and additional sales staff added in the second half of
1996.

        Amortization was higher due to contingent acquisition consideration
paid in 1997, while interest expense was lower as average revolving credit
borrowings outstanding were lower.


        Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

        Net sales decreased $7.9 million or 16.5% as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1996.  The decline is primarily attributable to the termination
of Company's supply contract with Ford Motor Company in February 1997, lower
aftermarket bedliner sales and lower fiberglass accessory sales.  These sales
declines were offset by an increase in bedliner sales to other OEM accounts,
including distribution revenues.


        Gross profit margin declined from 40.8% for the six months ended June
30, 1996 to 29.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The decline in gross
profit margin was due primarily to losses from the Company's fiberglass
manufacturing subsidiary ("Tri-Glas"), lower absorption of fixed costs due to
lower bedliner volumes, along with higher bedliner raw material costs, and
lower average bedliner selling prices. Tri-Glas's losses resulted from a
decline in sales of certain higher margin fiberglass accessories and certain
manufacturing inefficiencies, in part due to a new product line.  Among other
actions, the Company has instituted cost reductions in April 1997 and raised
the selling prices of certain lower margin products during May 1997. Management
will be instituting a more comprehensive cost reduction and sales enhancement
plan during the balance of the year.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses were $523,000 higher for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 versus the same period in 1996.  As a
percentage of sales, these expenses were 14.1% of sales in 1997 compared to
10.7% of sales in 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses were
higher in 1997 due to legal costs associated with the various legal actions
discussed in the Company's 1996 Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1 herein,
additional sales staff added in the second half of 1996, and  marketing costs
associated with launching a new aftermarket bedliner brand.

        Amortization was higher due to contingent acquisition consideration
paid in 1997, while interest expense was lower as average revolving credit
borrowings outstanding were lower.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Company's primary capital requirements for its operations are
working capital (principally accounts receivable and inventories) and capital
expenditures.  The Company's capital needs have historically been provided by
internally generated cash and through utilization of the Company's revolving
credit facility.  The Company's net working capital at June 30, 1997 was $14.9
million compared to $11.0 million at December 31, 1996

        At June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $84.6 million of
outstanding debt, including $80.0 million of senior notes payable, $1.0 million
under its revolving credit facility and $3.6 million in various notes payable.
During the second quarter of 1997, the Company repaid $3.0 million of
outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility.  The $1.0 million
of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 1997 was repaid in July 1997.

        The Company's consolidated debt-to-equity ratio was 2.02:1 at June 30,
1997 versus 2.00:1 at December 31, 1996.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had
approximately $17.3 million of availability under its revolving credit
facility.

        Management believes that funds generated from operations and funds
available under the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy the
Company's debt service obligations, working capital requirements and
commitments for capital expenditures through the end of 1997.  To the extent
available, excess funds will be used to reduce any outstanding borrowings under
the revolving credit facility.

        On a longer term basis, the Company has significant future debt service
obligations.  The Company's ability to satisfy these obligations and to secure
adequate capital resources in the future are dependent on its ability to
generate adequate cash flows.  Although the Company expects that its cash flows
from operations, available borrowings and access to the capital markets will be
sufficient to fund future debt service, this will be dependent on its overall
operating performance and be subject to general business, financial and other
factors affecting the Company and the light truck industry, certain of which
are beyond the control of the Company.



PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and
other claims arising in the ordinary course of its business.  The Company
maintains insurance coverage against claims in an amount which it believes to
be adequate.  The Company believes that it is not presently a party to any such
ordinary course litigation the outcome of which would have a material adverse
effect on its financial condition or results of operations.  Set forth below is
an update of material developments in certain nonordinary course






                                      7

litigation more fully described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 
the year ended December 3 1, 1996 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997.

CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS

        On July 2, 1997, the plaintiff in the lawsuit Jimmy E. Brown, et al. v.
Durakon lndustries, Inc., et al., pending in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi, Hattiesburg Division (see Part I,
Item 3 of the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1996, incorporated herein by reference) filed a motion with the court
seeking to add additional defendants, including TriEnda Corporation, the
Company's predecessor.  This motion was granted on July 29, 1997.  Settlement
discussions are continuing in connection with this lawsuit.

LITIGATION WITH FORMER EXECUTIVE OFFICER

        In July 1997, the Company determined to pursue its litigation against
its former President and Chief Executive Officer, Daniel E. Braun, in a single
venue.  It therefore dismissed without prejudice Penda Corporation v. Daniel E.
Braun, which it had filed on April 21, 1997 in the Circuit Court of the 11th
Judicial Circuit for Dade County, Florida.  See Part II, Item 1 of the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
incorporated herein by reference.

        On May 20, 1997, the Company filed an Answer and a Counterclaim in the
lawsuit styled Daniel E. Braun v. Penda Corporation, pending in the Circuit
Court for Columbia County, Wisconsin.  See Part II, Item 1 of the Company's
Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1997,
incorporated herein by reference.  The Company has asserted affirmative
defenses which include failure of conditions precedent, waiver, breach of
contract, mistake, fraud, and equitable estoppel/unjust enrichment.  In its
Counterclaim, the Company seeks (i) a declaratory judgment that Mr. Braun is
not entitled to severance pay under his employment agreement with the Company
(which would be payable only in the event Mr. Braun's employment was
terminated, or deemed to be terminated, without cause) and that he failed to
properly tender his shares of Company stock for repurchase pursuant to the
provisions of a Subscription and Shareholders' Agreement to which he is a
party, (ii) a declaratory judgment that certain restrictions against
competition and disclosure of trade secrets contained in Mr. Braun's employment
agreement with the Company are valid and enforceable, (iii) a claim for damages
for the breach by Mr. Braun of his obligations to the Company under his
employment agreement, (iv) an injunction enjoining Mr. Braun from violating
covenants contained in his employment agreement which restrict him from
competing with the Company for one year following his termination, divulging or
using any of the Company's confidential information and soliciting for
employment or employing any current or former employee of the Company for two
years following his termination, (v) reformation, cancellation or recession of
the Subscription and Shareholders' Agreement and certain stock option
agreements between the Company and Mr. Braun to provide that he is entitled to
no further compensation or benefits from the Company, and (vi) monetary damages
(including punitive damages) for fraud in the inducement.  The Company's
Counterclaim also seeks an award of attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the
litigation.  On June 9, 1997, Mr. Braun filed an Answer and Defenses to the
Company's Counterclaim denying liability to the Company and asserting defenses
of failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and
unenforceability of the restrictive covenants.

        The Company intends to vigorously pursue its claims against Mr. Braun
and to vigorously defend itself against Mr. Braun's claims, which it believes
to be without merit.
