AMERICAN ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
American Architectural Products Corporation (AAPC or the Company - formerly
known as Forte Computer Easy, Inc.) is principally engaged in the business of
manufacturing residential, commercial and architectural windows and doors
through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Eagle & Taylor Company (formerly known as
American Architectural Products, Inc.-AAP), Forte, Inc. (Forte) and Western
Insulated Glass, Co. (Western).
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AAPC and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position and results of operations have been made.
Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results
that may be expected for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q
should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the financial statements and
notes thereto of Forte Computer Easy, Inc. and Subsidiaries from the date of
inception (June 19, 1996) to December 31, 1996 included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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 may differ from these estimates.
2. Recapitalization and Acquisitions:
Prior to December 18, 1996, Forte Computer Easy, Inc. (FCEI) had a single
wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Forte, based in Youngstown, Ohio. On December
18, 1996, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated October 25,
1996 between FCEI and AAP Holdings, Inc. (the Agreement), FCEI acquired all of
the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of AAP in exchange for
1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of FCEI (the Series A
Preferred). Under the terms of the Agreement and the Series A Preferred, AAP
Holdings, Inc. obtained 60 percent of the voting control of FCEI. Although FCEI
is the parent of AAP following the transaction, the transaction was accounted
for as a recapitalization of AAP and a purchase by AAP of FCEI because the
stockholders of AAP obtained a majority of the voting rights in FCEI as a result
of the transaction. FCEI subsequently changed its name to American Architectural
Products Corporation to more accurately reflect the nature of its ongoing
business.
Page 4
<PAGE> 8
AAP was incorporated on June 19, 1996 and had no significant operations or
assets until it acquired Eagle Window and Door, Inc. (Eagle Window) and Taylor
Building Products Company (Taylor) on August 29, 1996. Eagle Window is based in
Dubuque, Iowa and manufactures and distributes aluminum clad and all wood
windows and doors. Taylor is based in West Branch, Michigan and manufactures
entry and garage doors. AAP subsequently changed its name to Eagle & Taylor
Company.
On June 25, 1996, AAP's ultimate controlling stockholder acquired ownership of
Mallyclad Corp. (Mallyclad) and Vyn-L Corporation (Vyn-L). Mallyclad and Vyn-L
are based in Madison Heights, Michigan and process and manufacture vinyl clad
steel and aluminum coils and cut-to-length sheets. On December 18, 1996,
Mallyclad and Vyn-L were merged into AAP. Based on the control maintained by
this stockholder over AAP, Mallyclad and Vyn-L, the merger was considered to be
a transaction among companies under common control and was accounted for at
historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.
On March 14, 1997, the Company acquired the stock of Western. Western is based
in Phoenix, Arizona and manufactures custom residential aluminum windows and
doors. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price
approximated $2,400,000 and was allocated to net assets acquired based on
estimated fair market values including current assets of $1,976,000, property
and equipment and other noncurrent assets of $961,000, and current liabilities
of $537,000. Notes to sellers approximating $779,000 were used to finance a
portion of the acquisition. Additionally, Western was financed with term notes
of $200,000 and $900,000 bearing interest at the prime rate plus 1.5% and the
prime rate plus 2.5%, respectively. The $200,000 note is payable in equal
monthly installments over four years. The $900,000 note is payable in equal
monthly installments over three years. Western also has a $1,000,000 revolving
line of credit bearing interest at the prime rate plus 1%. The term notes and
the revolving line of credit are secured by substantially all of the assets of
Western. The accounts of Western are included in the accompanying financial
statements from the March 14, 1997 acquisition date.
The following pro forma information for the three months ended March 31, 1996
has been prepared assuming that the acquisitions of FCEI, Eagle Window and
Taylor, Mallyclad and Vyn-L, and Western had occurred at the beginning of that
period. The following pro forma information for the three months ended March 31,
1997 has been prepared assuming that the acquisition of Western had occurred at
the beginning of that period. The pro forma information includes adjustments for
interest expense for acquisition funding, adjustments to depreciation expense
based on the fair market value of the property and equipment acquired,
amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired arising from the
acquisition, and adjustments for income taxes. The pro forma earnings per share
information reflects the effects of the recapitalization described above as well
as the reverse stock split described in Note 5.

3. Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding, adjusted to reflect the number of shares issued upon the conversion
of all of the Series A Preferred (which, based on its terms, the Company
considers to be common stock in substance) and the weighted average number of
shares that the Company is obligated to issue to an officer. The antidilutive
effect of stock options is not considered in the net loss per share calculation.

5. Subsequent events
At a special shareholders' meeting held on April 1, 1997, the Company's
shareholders approved the Forte Computer Easy, Inc. 1996 Stock Option Plan and
approved the reincorporation of the Company in Delaware. Consequences of the
reincorporation plan include the change of the Company's name to American
Architectural Products Corporation; an increase in the authorized common stock
of the Company to 100,000,000 shares; a 10 for 1 reverse stock split of the
Company's common stock; the conversion of 1,000,000 shares of Series A
Preferred held by AAPH into 7,548,632 shares of common stock; and the issuance
of 171,842 shares of common stock to an officer to satisfy a commitment of the
Company. The reincorporation did not result in any substantive change to the
Company's business, assets, liabilities, net worth or operations, nor did it
result in any change in the ownership interest of any stockholder of the
Company. The computations of net loss per share give retroactive recognition to
the change in capital structure for all periods presented.
In April 1997, the Company received proceeds of $325,000 from the private
placement of 3,250 shares of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock (the Series B Preferred). The Series B Preferred accrues
cumulative dividends at the annual rate of $8.00 per share commencing July 1,
1998 payable either in cash or common stock at the election of the Company. Each
share of Series B Preferred is convertible, at the option of the holder, into
shares of common stock. The redemption price of $100 per share of Series B
Preferred plus any cumulative unpaid dividends can be used to purchase shares of
common stock at market value. However, a discount from the current market value
of Common Stock will be applicable if the holder exercises conversion rights
prior to August 31, 1997.

1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements include the accounts of
Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company,
wholly owned subsidiaries of MascoTech, Inc. (the Companies). All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of recurring adjustments) necessary

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS:
BACKGROUND
American Architectural Products Corporation (AAPC or the Company), formerly
known as Forte Computer Easy, Inc., (FCEI) is principally engaged in the
business of manufacturing residential, commercial and architectural windows
and doors through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Eagle & Taylor Company, Forte,
Inc. (Forte), and Western Insulated Glass, Co. (Western).
On April 1, 1997, the Company's shareholders approved a reincorporation plan.
The reincorporation plan amended the Company's name from Forte Computer Easy,
Inc. to American Architectural Products Corporation. The Company revised its
name to more accurately reflect the current nature of its business. The
reincorporation plan also organized the Company under the laws of Delaware. The
Company was previously organized under the laws of Utah. The favorable business
corporation laws of Delaware should benefit the Company by allowing it to
conduct its affairs in a more flexible and efficient manner. Additionally,
neither the Company's principal offices nor any of the Company's employees are
located in Utah and, as such, the Company has no important ties to or presence
in Utah that would make incorporation in Utah convenient for the Company.
The shareholders also approved the Company's incentive stock option plan.
Additionally, the reincorporation plan included a 10 for 1 reverse stock split
and an increase in the number of authorized shares. Each share of common stock
of Forte Computer Easy, Inc. shall be changed and converted into one-tenth
(0.1) of a share of common stock of AAPC. The Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock of Forte Computer Easy, Inc. was changed and converted into 7,548,632
shares of common stock of AAPC.
The reincorporation was approved at a special shareholders' meeting in
Youngstown, Ohio, the Company's corporate headquarters.
Immediately prior to December 18, 1996, FCEI had a single wholly-owned operating
subsidiary,

Forte, Inc. based in Youngstown, Ohio. On December 18, 1996, pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated October 25, 1996 between FCEI and AAP
Holdings, Inc., FCEI acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of AAP Holdings, Inc.'s wholly-owned subsidiary, American
Architectural Products, Inc. (AAP) in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock of FCEI (the Series A Preferred). Under the terms
of the Agreement and the Series A Preferred, AAP Holdings, Inc. obtained 60
percent of the voting control of FCEI. Accordingly, although FCEI was the parent
of AAP following the transaction, the transaction was accounted for as a
recapitalization of AAP and a purchase by AAP of FCEI (a reverse acquisition in
which AAP is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes), because the
shareholders of AAP obtained a majority of the voting rights in FCEI as a result
of the transaction. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company for the
periods prior to December 18, 1996 are those of AAP, the assets and liabilities
of FCEI are recorded at their estimated fair values and the accounts of FCEI are
included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition
(December 18, 1996). Therefore, the 1996 first quarter results include the
results of AAP (i.e. the predecessor) but exclude the results of FCEI.
AAP was incorporated on June 19, 1996 and had no significant operations or
assets until it acquired Eagle Window and Door, Inc. (Eagle) and Taylor Building
Products Company (Taylor) on August 29, 1996. Eagle is based in Dubuque, Iowa
and manufactures and distributes aluminum clad and all wood windows and doors.
Taylor is based in West Branch, Michigan and manufactures entry and garage
doors.
On June 25, 1996, AAP's ultimate controlling shareholder, an individual,
acquired ownership of Mallyclad Corp. (Mallyclad) and Vyn-L Corporation (Vyn-L).
Mallyclad and Vyn-L are based in Madison Heights, Michigan and process and
manufacture vinyl clad steel and aluminum coils and cut-to-length sheets. On
December 18, 1996, Mallyclad and Vyn-L were merged into AAP. Based on the
control maintained by this shareholder over AAP, Mallyclad and Vyn-L, the merger
was considered to be a transaction among companies under common control and was
accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.
As a result of the acquisitions discussed above, and the related differences in
cost bases of the assets and liabilities of the Company after the acquisitions
and the cost bases of the predecessors, the results of the operations for 1996
and 1997 are not comparable. Such lack of comparability is explained in the
discussion below.

(1) Financial data for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were derived from
the consolidated financial statements of American Architectural Products
Corporation for that period.
(2) Financial data for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are that of the
predecessors and were derived from the combined financial statements of Eagle
and Taylor for that period, and the combined financial statements of Mallyclad
and Vyn-L for the three months ended February 28, 1996. Because the financial
data of the predecessors are presented on cost bases different from that of the
Company after the acquisitions, the March 31, 1996 financial data are not
comparable to the 1997 financial data.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996
Revenues. Revenues increased 27% to $16,641,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, compared to $13,145,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The
increase is attributable to increased volume for both the Eagle and Taylor
divisions. The increase was also affected by contributions from Forte and
Western which were not reflected for the three months ended 1996. These
operations provided an additional $663,000 in revenues, approximately 4% of
consolidated AAPC sales for the period ending March 31, 1997.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 174% to $3,161,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997, compared to $1,153,000 for the comparable period in
1996. The gross margin increased from 9% to 19% for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 compared to the period ending March 31, 1996. The overall
increase in total gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1997, is
attributable to increased operating efficiencies at Eagle and Taylor's operating
facilities and the increased volume noted above.
Selling General and Administrative costs. Selling general and administrative
costs ("S,G&A") increased to $3,347,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997, compared to $2,601,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The 28%
increase in 1997 is due to the increased business activity for both Eagle and
Taylor. S,G&A as a percent of sales was 20.1% in 1997 compared to 19.8% in
1996. Forte and Western facilities comprised nearly $195,000 or 26% of the
$746,000 increase between years.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $615,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, compared to $2,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The
increase in interest expense is attributable to new debt incurred to consummate
the acquisition of Eagle and Taylor during the third quarter of 1996. The
previous parent of these entities did not allocate interest to Eagle and Taylor
during the three months ended March 31, 1996. Accordingly, interest expense for
the period ending March 31, 1996 is not indicative of the amounts that would
have been recorded on a stand-alone basis and is not comparable. Forte and
Western also contributed approximately $110,000 or 11% of the $615,000 interest
expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Income Taxes. The Company has recorded an income tax benefit of $325,000 on a
loss before taxes of $814,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997.
The income tax benefit has been recorded an an effective rate of 40%. Prior to
the acquisitions, Eagle and Taylor were included in the consolidated income
tax return of their parent which recorded income taxes in their accounts at
the parent's prescribed effective tax rate. Accordingly, income taxes for the
period ending March 31, 1996 are not indicative of the amounts that would have
been recorded on a separate basis and are not comparable.

<PAGE> 21
Net Loss. The net loss decreased 26% to $488,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, compared to $660,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The
factors cited above were responsible for the decrease in net loss of the
Company. Accordingly, the net loss for the period ending March 31, 1996 are not
indicative of the amounts that would have been recorded on a stand-alone basis
and are not comparable.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 1997 the Company had $635,000 in cash. Net cash decreased
approximately $329,000 for the first three months of fiscal 1997. Cash used in
operating activities was approximately $2.3 million due primarily to the affect
of a net loss, increases in accounts receivable, inventories, and a
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Investing activities used cash in the amount of $1.2 million during the three
months ended March 31, 1997 primarily from the acquisition of Western, capital
expenditures, and financing costs. Net cash provided from financing activities
in the amount of $3.2 million consisted primarily of $2.4 million of proceeds
received from the Company's various line of credit facilities and $1.1 million
of proceeds from term notes which were partially offset by capital lease and
debt payments. These proceeds were used to fund general operating expenses and
as part of the cash payment for the Western acquisition.
The Company will continue to pursue a combination of debt and equity to improve
its liquidity position, reduce the level of short-term and long-term debt, and
position the Company for future growth. There can be no assurance that
additional financing will be available or that, such financing will be on terms
favorable to the Company.
SEASONALITY
The Company's business is seasonal since its primary revenues are driven by
residential construction. Certain geographic areas where the Company's sales
activities are significant, particularly in the Northeast and Midwest regions
of the United States, experience inclement weather during the winter months
which usually reduces the level of building and remodeling activity in both the
home improvement and new construction markets. Traditionally, the Company's
lowest sales levels occur during the first and fourth quarters which is
consistent with the general cycle of the building products industry. Because a
high percentage of the Company's manufacturing overhead and operating expenses
are relatively fixed throughout the year, operating income has historically
been lower in quarters with lower sales. Working capital, and borrowings to
satisfy working capital requirements, are usually at their highest level during
the second and third quarters.
