5. Adoption of a New Accounting Pronouncement

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative and Hedging Activities," which was amended by
SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities," (collectively "SFAS 133"). As amended SFAS 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards of derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and
for hedging activities. The Statement requires the Company to recognize
all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are
not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the
derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in
fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair
value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through
earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item
is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's
change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The
Company adopted SFAS 133 on March 1, 2001 the first day of the Company's
fiscal year ending February 28, 2002. The Company has evaluated its
derivative instruments, consisting solely of two interest rate protection
agreements, and believes these instruments qualify for hedge accounting
pursuant to SFAS 133.

7
In order to reduce interest rate risk, the Company in February 1999 and
April 2000 entered into interest rate protection agreements through the
bank (the Swap Agreements) to modify the interest characteristics of the
$10 million Term Note B and $10 million of the Term Note A, respectively,
from a variable rate to a fixed rate. Term Note A Swap Agreement involves
the exchange of interest obligations from April 2000 through April 2002
whereby the Company receives a fixed rate of 8.51% in exchange for a
variable 30-day LIBOR plus 1.25%. Term Note B Swap Agreement involves the
exchange of interest obligations over the life of the Term Note B whereby
the Company receives a fixed rate of 6.8% in exchange for a variable 30-day
LIBOR plus 1.25%. Management intends to hold the Term A and Term B Swap
Agreements until their maturities of April 2002 and March 2006,
respectively.

In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS 133, on March 1, 2001,
the Company recognized the cumulative effect of adoption as a charge of
$296,000 to accumulated other comprehensive income (equity). The
offsetting fair value of the two interest rate swaps was recognized in
accrued liabilities. During the quarter ended May 31, 2001, an additional
$28,000 was accrued and charged to accumulated other comprehensive income
related to the interest rate swaps.

Management does not expect the swaps to materially affect the Company's
financial position or results of operations going forward.


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
----------------------

Consolidated net revenues increased 23% for the three-month period ended May 31,
2001 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2001. Revenues for the Electrical
and Industrial Products Segment increased $6.1 million or 41% for the three-
month period ended May 31, 2001, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2001.
Revenues for this segment's electrical products increased 47% to $14.6 million
for the three-month period ended May 31, 2001 as compared to $9.9 million for
the same period in fiscal 2001. These products continue to benefit from the
deregulation of the power industry and growing need for reliable supplies of
electricity throughout the United States. Revenues for this segment's industrial
products increased 29% to $6.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as
compared to $4.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2001. The growth is due
to increased demand for the industrial products in the petroleum markets served.
Backlog for the Electrical and Industrial Products Segment at May 31, 2001 was
$36.9 million compared to $32 million at May 31, 2000. The electrical products
backlog increased $2.1 million to $31.1 million while the industrial products
backlog increased $2.8 million to $5.8 million. Net revenues in the Galvanizing
Services Segment were flat at $13.4 million for the three-month period ended May
31, 2001 as compared to $13.1 million for the same period ended May 31, 2000.

Consolidated operating income (net sales less operating expenses) increased 12%
for the three-month period ended May 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in
fiscal 2001. Operating income in the Electrical and Industrial Products Segment
increased $1.5 million or 75% for the three-month period ended May 31, 2001 as
compared to the same period in fiscal 2001. Increases in operating income were
experienced in all of this segments product lines for the three-month period
ended May 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2001. The
significant percentage increase that was achieved in operating income is
reflective of the continued leverage that is being achieved as volume increases.
In the Galvanizing Services Segment, operating income decreased $943,000 or 34%
for the three-month period ended May 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in
fiscal 2001. Three main factors contributed to the

8
decrease in this segment. The first being the downturn in general industrial
market and telecommunication industry creating pricing pressures to maintain the
current business levels resulting in lower margins. Higher utility costs for the
compared periods also had a negative impact on the margins for this segment. In
addition this segment experienced two premature kettle replacements causing the
loss of 28 days of production.

General corporate expenses (selling, general and administrative expense, and
other (expense) for the three-month period ended May 31, 2001 increased $507,000
or 14% as compared to the same period in fiscal 2001. As a percent of sales,
general corporate expenses were 11.9% for the three-month period ended May 31,
2001 compared to 12.8% for the same period ended May 31, 2000.

Net interest expense for the three-month period ended May 31, 2001 was $466,000,
a decrease of 26% from the same period in fiscal 2001. This decrease is the
result of $6.1 million of debt reduction between May 31, 2000 and May 31, 2001.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

Net cash provided by operations was $3.3 million for the three-month period
ended May 31, 2001 compared to $4.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2001.
Net cash provided by operations was generated from $2.2 million in net income
and $1.5 million in depreciation and amortization, offset by net changes in
operating assets and liabilities and other of $400,000. During the three-month
period ended May 31, 2001, capital improvements were made in the amount of $2.4
million, long-term debt was repaid in the amount of $1.1 million, and cash
dividends of $796,000 were paid.

The Company has a credit facility with a bank that provides for a $20 million
revolving line of credit, a $10 million term note, and a $17.5 million term
note. At the end of May 31, 2001, the Company had $5.8 million outstanding under
the revolving line of credit and $20.3 million outstanding under the two term
facilities. At May 31, 2001, the Company had approximately $13.8 million
available under the revolving line of credit.

Management believes that it's current credit facility coupled with the Company's
borrowing capacity along with cash generated from operations will be sufficient
to accommodate the Company's current operations, internal growth and possible
acquisitions.

The Company's exposure to market risks related to its financial instruments,
including its interest rate swaps has not changed significantly since February
28, 2001.
