Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Unaudited)
September 27, 1997
NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 27, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending January 3, 1998. For
comparative purposes, certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the period
ended December 28, 1996.
NOTE 2--INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market.
NOTE 3--LEGAL MATTERS
The Company is from time to time subject to various claims, other possible
legal actions for product liability and other damages, and other matters
arising out of the normal conduct of the Company's business. Management
believes that based on present information, it is unlikely that liability, if
any, exists that would have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated
operating results or financial position of the Company.
NOTE 4--NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Income per share is computed using the weighted average shares of common stock
and dilutive Common Stock equivalents (options) outstanding during the
respective periods. Stock options in the aggregate reduce earnings per share
by less than three percent in all periods presented; therefore, diluted per
share amounts are not disclosed.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31,
1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method
currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.
Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the
dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact of Statement
128 on the calculations of earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per
share is not expected to be material.
NOTE 5--LONG-TERM DEBT
In June 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to amend its Revolving
Credit/Term Loan Agreement and prepaid $800,000 reducing the balance owed to
$10,000,000. The amendment converts the debt from a five year term loan,
payable in equal quarterly installments, to a $10,000,000 revolving line of
credit expiring five years from the date of the Agreement. Interest is
payable quarterly on the outstanding balance at the lower of the bank's prime
rate less .25 percent or LIBOR plus .60 percent.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Of The Financial
Condition And Results Of Operations
The following is management's discussion of certain significant factors that
affected the Company during the quarter ended September 27, 1997.
Consolidated sales were $31,371,000 for the quarter and $93,479,000 year-to-
date reflecting a seven percent increase and four percent decrease,
respectively, compared to the same periods one year ago. Consolidated net
income increased 24 percent to $1,543,000 for the quarter, or $.22 per share,
and decreased 37 percent to $3,940,000 year-to-date, or $.56 per share,
compared to the same periods one year ago. The gains for the quarter came
from the Chemicals Segment, which showed significant improvement, while the
Metals Segment had lower results. Improvement was also shown sequentially
with sales up modestly and net income up 11 percent compared to the previous
quarter.
Chemicals Segment sales were $12,790,000 for the quarter and $41,301,000 year-
to-date reflecting 41 and 36 percent increases, respectively, compared to the
same periods one year ago. Operating income increased 172 percent to $888,000
for the quarter and increased 45 percent to $3,431,000 year-to-date, compared
to the same periods one year ago. Much of the improvement resulted from
Manufacturers Chemicals, L.P., which was acquired in October 1996. However,
excluding the acquired business, sales were up six and four percent and
operating income was up 106 and 13 percent for the quarter and year-to-date,
respectively, because of better performance from textile dyes. Textile dye
markets improved from the extremely weak conditions of a year earlier. Profit
margins benefited from the increased demand and cost cutting initiatives
including overseas sourcing of certain dyes formerly manufactured at higher
costs. Chemical specialties, bolstered by the acquisition, contributed 40 and
42 percent of sales for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, and an
even greater percentage of operating income. The Company believes these
products provide good opportunity for future growth.
Metals Segment sales were $18,581,000 for the quarter and $52,178,000 year-to-
date reflecting nine and 23 percent decreases, respectively, compared to the
same periods one year ago. Operating income decreased five percent to
$1,884,000 for the quarter and 55 percent to $4,066,000 year-to-date, compared
to the same periods one year ago. Dollar sales were down because of lower
sales prices. However, unit volume growth actually increased two percent in
the third quarter compared to the third quarter of 1996. Operating income
declined by a smaller percentage benefiting from higher profit margins from
stainless pipe partially offset by lower margins in piping systems.
Operations showed good improvement on a sequential basis with third quarter
sales up nine percent and operating income up 18 percent compared to the
previous quarter. Prices for the Metals Segment's principal product,
stainless steel pipe, continue to be intensely competitive. The Company
announced an eight percent price increase in April of this year, about half of
which held in the market for a while. However, prices have now eroded back to
the lowest levels that existed before that attempted increase. Sales to
distributors weakened in September, probably because of the price erosion,
although end use demand seems to be holding up well.

Synalloy Corporation
Management's Discussion And Analysis Of The Financial
Condition And Results Of Operations - Continued
Selling and administrative expense for the quarter and year to date were up 13
and five percent from the same periods last year, and totaled eight percent of
consolidated sales compared to last year's seven percent for both the quarter
and year to date. The increases reflect adding selling and administrative
costs from Manufacturers Chemical, offset by lower profit-based incentives.
Cash flows from operations totaled $8,620,000 during the first nine months
compared to $14,791,000 generated during the same period one year ago. The
decrease reflects the planned reduction of inventories that occurred in the
third quarter of 1996 and the decrease in net income experienced in the first
nine months of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. The Company used
part of the cash flows generated in 1997 to pay $2,000,000 of long-term debt
and $1,155,000 of notes payable to an employee related to the acquisition of
Manufacturers Chemicals. The Company expects that available cash and existing
lines of credit will be sufficient to meet normal operating requirements,
including capital expenditures and payment of dividends over the near term.
