Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
October 2, 1999
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 October 2, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending January 1, 2000. 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 January 2, 1999.
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--COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income was $981,000 and $1,562,000 for the three and nine months
ended October 2, 1999, respectively. Comprehensive income consists of net
income plus unrealized gains on the Company's foreign equity investment, of
$150,000 and $69,000, net of deferred income taxes of $80,000 and $37,000 for
the three and nine months ended October 2, 1999, respectively, and is recorded
in Shareholders' Equity.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition
And Results Of Operations
The following is management's discussion of certain significant factors that
affected the Company during the quarter ended October 2, 1999. (Dollar
amounts are in thousands except for per share data.)
Consolidated sales for the quarter increased 11 and three percent year to date
compared to the same periods one year ago as improving conditions in the
Metals Segment more than offset continued deterioration in the textile color
business during the third quarter. Consolidated net income increased 82 and
28 percent for the quarter and year to date, respectively, compared to the
same periods one year ago.
Metals Segment sales increased 35 and five percent in the quarter and year to
date, respectively. Operating income increased 723 and 121 percent in the
quarter and year to date, respectively. A strong 34 percent increase in unit
volumes in the third quarter was largely responsible for the increase in
dollar sales. After four years of unrelenting declines that brought stainless
pipe prices down to about one-half of the high reached during 1995, the third
quarter ended with prices about 15 percent above their 1999 lows. If this
trend toward higher prices is supported in the market place, sales and profits
from stainless pipe should continue to improve.
The piping systems business has improved dramatically from a year ago. The
backlog for these products, $23,900 at October 2, 1999, is at a healthy level
that should produce good operating results through the end of next year.
Chemicals Segment sales decreased 11 percent in the quarter compared to the
same quarter last year, and year to date sales were slightly above last year's
total. Operating income declined 90 and 56 percent in the quarter and year to
date, respectively. Reduced demand coupled with lower prices for textile
colors led to the declines. As foreign sourcing of dyes for the domestic
textile industry has become more pervasive, sales prices have plummeted to
levels that in many cases defy economic logic. Under these adverse
conditions, the company is focusing its efforts on the products and customers
where it can best compete effectively. Management's strategy of developing
specialty chemical sales to reduce the segment's dependence on textile colors
has continued to show progress. Non textile color products now represent
almost one-half of sales and are expected to grow substantially next year.
Selling and administrative expenses for the quarter and year to date were 10
percent of consolidated sales compared to last year's quarter and year to date
totals of nine percent. The increase in expense came from increases in
profit-based incentives and the allowance for doubtful accounts to establish
reserves against several potentially uncollectible receivable accounts.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition
And Results Of Operations - Continued
Cash flows from operations totaled $3,239 during the first nine months of 1999
compared to $7,329 generated during the same period one year ago. The decrease
in cash flows came primarily from increases in accounts receivable and
inventories, offset by an increase in accounts payable totaling $2,837 in
1999, compared to a $3,186 decrease from the same accounts in 1998. The
decrease was offset by the $1,020 increase in income taxes payable from 1998
to 1999. The Company used part of the cash flows generated in 1999 to
purchase in 167,525 shares of the Company's common stock for $1,149. 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.
On October 22, 1999, the Company purchased 260,000 shares of its common stock
at $6.25 per share, for a total purchase price of $1,625. The purchase
completes the previously announced stock repurchase program and represents
about four percent of the outstanding shares.
