5. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is required to be adopted in
years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Statement permits early adoption
as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after its issuance. The expected
date of adoption by the Company is not yet known.

The Statement will require 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 the fair value of
derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the
hedged assets, liabilities,

7
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 has not yet determined what the effect
of Statement No. 133 will be on the earnings and financial position of the
Company.

6. Effective September 1, 1999, Aztec Manufacturing Co. acquired the operating
assets of ABB's Compressed Gas Insulation Transmission Bus Duct division.
The new entity will be known as CGIT Westboro, Inc. The assets of CGIT
were acquired for a consideration of approximately $9.9 million, which
resulted in approximately $6.9 million in goodwill.

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

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

Consolidated net sales were up 1% for both the three-month and six-month periods
ending August 31, 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998. Net sales in the
Manufactured Products Segment were down $922,000 or 8% for the three-month
period ending August 31, 1999, and $2,360,000 or 10% for the six-month period
ending August 31, 1999,as compared to the same periods in 1998. Sales of
electrical products in the Manufactured Products Segment were up by 1% for both
the three and six-month periods ending August 31,1999, while tubular products
sales were down 42% and 48% for the three and six-month periods. Backlog for the
segment was up by $4,159,000 or 25% for the period ended August 31, 1999, versus
the same period last year. Backlog for electrical products in this segment was
up $7,411,000 or 55% due primarily to the deregulation of the electrical
industry and the need for increased domestic power generation. Tubular products
backlog was down to $102,000 for the period ending August 31,1999, from
$3,354,000 the previous period ended August 31, 1998. Net sales in the Services
Segment, which is made up of galvanizing services, were up $1,189,000 or 14% and
$2,567,000 or 15% for the three and six-month periods ending August 31, 1999 as
compared to the same periods in 1998. Total pounds produced were 63,892,000 and
126,282,000 for the three and six month periods ending August 31, 1999 as
compared to 54,362,000 and 108,557,000 during the same periods in 1998. The
volume of steel processed increased 17.5% and 16.5% for the three and six-month
period ended August 31, 1999 versus the same periods last year. The year to date
average selling price was virtually the same for the two periods compared.

Consolidated operating income (net sales less operating expenses) was up 13% and
6% or $431,000 and $390,000 for the three and six-month periods ended August 31,
999 as compared to the prior year. Operating income in the Manufactured Products
Segment was flat for the three-month period and down 16% for the six-month
period as compared to 1998. Operating Income in our electrical products was up
9% and 6% for the three and six-month periods in 1999 as compared to prior year.
Our tubular products portion of this segment has not rebounded with current
improvement in oil and natural gas showing $120,000 and $385,000 loss for the
three and six month periods ended August 31, 1999, as compared to a $18,000 and
$123,000 profit for the same periods last year. In the Service Segment operating
income was up $434,000 or 25% and $878,000 or 23% for three and six-months
periods ended August 31, 1999, compared to the same periods in 1998. Increased
operating income was due to increased volumes coupled with flat spending for the
compared periods.

General corporate expenses (selling, G & A expense and other (income) expense)
as a percent of net sales were consistent for the three and six month periods
this year versus last year.

8
Net interest expense for the three and six month periods ending August 31, 1999,
was $322,000 and $675,000 an increase of $90,000 and $215,000 over last year.
The additional interest expense is due to a higher outstanding loan balance
associated with the stock repurchase of Aztec common stock in fiscal 1999. With
reduced shares outstanding due to the stock repurchase, diluted earnings per
share increased to $.33 and $.63 per share for the three and six-month periods
ending August 31, 1999, versus $.25 and $.51 per share for the same period in
1998.


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

Net cash provided by operations was $7.6 million for the first six months of
fiscal 2000 compared to $3.9 million for the same period in fiscal 1999. Net
cash provided by operations was generated by $3.0 million in net profits, $2
million in depreciation and amortization, and $2.6 million in other changes
which included a reduction in inventory of $1.1 million, primarily in tubular
products.

During the six month period ended August 31, 1999, proceeds from operating
activities of $7.6 million were used to repay debt in the amount of $6.5 million
and purchase plant equipment in the amount of $1.5 million.

The Company's current credit facility is made up of two term notes both in the
amount of $10 million each. The Company also has a revolving line of credit in
the amount of $15 million of which $11.8 million is available for future use.
Management believes that the credit facility and cash generated from operations
will be sufficient to accommodate the Company's current operations, internal
growth and possible acquisitions.

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

The Company is in the process of reviewing and making necessary modifications to
its computer systems for year 2000 compliance. Costs incurred to date to modify
the Company's computer systems have not been material and future costs are not
expected to be material. Although the Company expects its modifications will be
successfully completed on a timely basis, there can be no assurance that it will
be completed on the time schedule anticipated. The Company is also communicating
with vendors and others with which it does business to coordinate Year 2000
compliance. There can be no assurance that the systems of other companies and
agencies on which the Company relies will be timely converted or that such
failure by other entities would not have an adverse impact on the Company's
operations.

Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------

This Report contains, and from time to time the Company or certain of its
representatives may make, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are generally
identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "expect," "estimate,"
"intend," "should," "may," "believe," and terms with similar meanings. Although
the Company believes that the current views and expectations reflected in these
forward-looking statements are reasonable, those views and expectations, and the
related statements, are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and other
factors, many of which are not under the Company's control. Those risks,
uncertainties, and other factors could cause the actual results to differ
materially from these in the forward-looking statements. Those risks,
uncertainties, and factors include, but are not limited to, many of the matters
described in this Report:

9
change in demand, prices and raw material cost, including zinc which is used in
the hot dip galvanizing process; changes in the economic conditions of the
various markets the Company serves, foreign and domestic, including the market
price for oil and natural gas; acquisition opportunities, adequacy of financing,
and availability of experienced management employees to implement the Company's
growth strategy; and customer demand and response to products and services
offered by the Company. The Company expressly disclaims any obligations to
release publicly any updates or revisions to these forward-looking statements to
reflect any change in its views or expectations.
