PW EAGLE, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial position of PW Eagle, Inc. (the “Company”) at June 30, 2005 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Company’s management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company included with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the June 30, 2005 presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

3. Acquisition of Uponor Aldyl Company

On September 27, 2004, USPoly, a subsidiary of the Company, acquired the business of Uponor Aldyl Company, Inc. (UAC) from Uponor Corporation, a Finnish company (the “UAC Acquisition”). UAC is a leading extruder of polyethylene (PE) piping systems for natural gas with annual sales of $41 million in 2003. The business has facilities in Tulsa and Shawnee, Oklahoma. UAC’s business operations were combined with those of USPoly and the combined organization, re-named USPoly Company (USPoly) on September 27, 2004, is operated from UAC’s former headquarters in Shawnee, Oklahoma.

The final purchase price for UAC was $18.6 million (including direct transaction costs of $1.0 million), composed of $13.9 million of cash, $2.1 million in the form of a note to Uponor Corporation, and a $2.6 million working capital adjustment. In addition, USPoly incurred $0.6 million of deferred financing costs not included in the purchase price allocation below. Concurrent with this transaction, USPoly entered into a capital lease agreement for the Tulsa, Oklahoma manufacturing facility for $1.5 million.

The UAC Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business combination. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as follows (in millions):

Current assets	$	13.4
Property, plant and equipment		9.0
Intangible assets		2.5
Current liabilities		(6.3	)
	$	18.6

Acquired intangible assets consist of technology and patents.

6

The acquisition was financed with a draw under USPoly’s new Senior Credit Facility, additional subordinated debt and seller financing.

On June 30, 2005, USPoly sold the assets of its metals parts business for $2.5 million, resulting in a gain on the sale of $1.3 million. The metals parts business had net sales of approximately $6 million in 2004.

Pro forma information has not been included due to the immaterial impact of the UAC Acquisition and metals parts business sale in relation to the consolidated results of operations of PW Eagle.

4. Financing Arrangements

Current and long-term obligations at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 consisted of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2005			December 31, 2004
Borrowings under revolving credit facilities
PW Eagle	$	60,952		$	76,323
USPoly		6,903			5,694
Total borrowings under revolving credit facilities	$	67,855		$	82,017
Long-term debt
PW Eagle subordinated notes	$	24,108		$	23,116
PW Eagle capital lease obligations		16,425			16,492
USPoly seller’s note		2,125			2,125
USPoly senior term notes		4,211			6,622
USPoly senior subordinated note		4,711			4,672
USPoly capital lease obligations		3,362			3,378
Total current and long-term obligations		54,942			56,405
Less current maturities		(1,695	)		(1,692	)
Total long-term obligations	$	53,247		$	54,713

PW Eagle and USPoly each have separate financing arrangements with each entity responsible for its own obligations without any guarantees or cross defaults.

Under current financing agreements, the Company is required to comply with certain restrictive financial ratios and covenants. Maintenance of these ratios and covenants is of particular concern given the uncertain economic climate in the United States and price stability of polyvinylchloride (PVC) pipe and PVC resin.

At December 31, 2004, USPoly was not in compliance with certain financial covenants of its Senior Credit Facility and Subordinated Debt Agreement. On March 10, 2005, the lenders waived all covenant violations and amended their Agreements such that USPoly was in compliance with the covenants at March 31, 2005. In addition, the maximum borrowing under the USPoly Senior Credit Facility was increased from $10 million to $15 million, and interest rates on the revolving credit facility and term notes were generally increased by 0.5%. At June 30, 2005, both PW Eagle and USPoly were in compliance with all debt covenants.

5. Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income for the Company includes net income (loss), changes in fair market value of financial instruments designated as hedges of interest rate exposure and changes in fair market value of securities held for the non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005			June 30, 2004		June 30, 2005			June 30, 2004
Net income (loss) applicable to common stock, as reported	$	2,283		$	2,945	$	4,980		$	(929	)
Other comprehensive income:
Changes in fair market value of financial instrument designated as a hedge of interest rate exposure, net of taxes		(39	)		18		63			20
Unrealized gain on securities from non-qualified deferred compensation plans		19			3		(180	)		29
Total comprehensive income (loss)	$	2,263		$	2,966	$	4,863		$	(880	)

7

The components of accumulated other comprehensive income(loss) are as follows:

	June 30, 2005		December 31, 2004
Fair value of financial instrument designated as a hedge of interest rate exposure, net of taxes	$	4	$	(58	)
Unrealized gain (loss) on available for sale securities from non-qualified deferred compensation plans, net of taxes		324		503
Total accumulated other comprehensive income	$	328	$	445

6. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS 123R requires that the cost of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. That cost will be recognized as an expense over the vesting period of the award. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. SFAS 123R is effective for the Company as of the first quarter of 2006.

The pro forma impact on net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share from calculating stock-related compensation costs under the fair value alternative of SFAS No. 123 is included below. The calculation of compensation cost for share-based payment transactions after the effective date of SFAS No. 123R may be different from the calculation of compensation cost under SFAS No. 123.

The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recorded for the stock option plan. Had the Company used the fair value-based method of accounting to measure compensation expense for its stock option plan and charged compensation expense against income over the vesting periods, net income and the related basic and diluted per common share amounts would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005			June 30, 2004			June 30, 2005			June 30, 2004
Net income applicable to common stock, as reported	$	2,283		$	2,945		$	4,980		$	(929	)
Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income, net of tax		34			81			67			353
Less: Total stock-based employee compensation expense under the fair value-based method, net of tax		(75	)		(166	)		(149	)		(524	)
Pro forma net income applicable to common stock	$	2,242		$	2,860		$	4,898		$	1,100
Basic earnings per share
As reported	$	0.27		$	0.43		$	0.61		$	(0.13	)
Pro forma	$	0.26		$	0.41		$	0.60		$	(0.16	)
Diluted earnings per share
As reported	$	0.23		$	0.31		$	0.51		$	(0.13	)
Pro forma	$	0.23		$	0.30		$	0.50		$	(0.16	)

7. Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share assumes the exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, if dilutive. The following tables reflect the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005		June 30, 2004		June 30, 2005		June 30, 2004
Net income (loss)	$	2,283	$	2,945	$	4,980	$	(929	)
Weighted average shares – basic		8,561		6,925		8,152		6,911
Effect of stock warrants		818		2,071		1,232		—
Effect of other dilutive securities		421		482		378		—
Weighted average shares – diluted		9,800		9,478		9,762		6,911
Net income (loss) per share – basic	$	0.27	$	0.43	$	0.61	$	(0.13	)
Net income (loss) per share – diluted	$	0.23	$	0.31	$	0.51	$	(0.13	)

The following table summarizes outstanding securities, which are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because inclusion of these shares would be anti-dilutive.

(in thousands)	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005	June 30, 2004	June 30, 2005	June 30, 2004
Stock options	147	372	230	340
Stock warrants	278	530	396	491
Unvested restricted stock	—	—	—	272

8. Guarantees

Product warranties: The Company’s products are generally guaranteed against defects in material and workmanship for one year. The product warranty liability is reviewed regularly by management to ensure the Company’s warranty allowance is adequate based on frequency and average cost of historical warranty claims activity. Management studies trends of warranty claim activity to improve pipe quality and pipe installation techniques to minimize future claims activity.

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
(in thousands)	June 30, 2005			June 30, 2004			June 30, 2005			June 30, 2004
Accrual for product warranties – beginning of period	$	305		$	450		$	325		$	450
Accruals for warranties issued during the period		100			15			109			21
Settlements made during the period		(125	)		(151	)		(154	)		(157	)
Accrual for product warranties – end of period	$	280		$	314		$	280		$	314

Standby letters of credit: The Company is required to maintain standby letters of credit totaling $2.8 million. These letters of credit guarantee payment to third parties in the event the Company is unable to pay in a timely manner. Standby letters of credit reduce the funds available under the revolving credit facilities by $2.8 million. No amounts were drawn on these letters of credit as of June 30, 2005.

9. Litigation

We are from time to time a party to various claims and litigation matters incidental to our normal course of business. We are not a party to any material litigation and are not aware of any threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on our business.

10. Segments of Business

The Company manufactures and distributes PVC and PE pipe and fittings used for potable water and sewage transmission, turf and agricultural irrigation, natural gas transmission, water wells, fiber optic lines, electronic and telephone lines, and commercial and industrial plumbing. The PE segment operates under the name USPoly. We distribute our products throughout the United States, with a minimal amount of shipments to certain foreign countries. While there are similarities in technology and manufacturing processes utilized between the segments, differences exist in products and customer base, with the PVC segment focused on the water, irrigation and electrical products and customers, and the PE segment focused primarily on the natural gas distribution products and customers.

For 2005, the Company changed its performance measurement for segment reporting from EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, minority interest and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate, to operating income. EBITDA is not a financial measure that is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).

A summary of the Company’s business activities reported by its two business segments follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(in millions)	June 30, 2005		June 30, 2004		June 30, 2005		June 30, 2004
Net Sales:
PVC products	$	139.8	$	113.2	$	263.5	$	216.6
PE products		21.8		5.2		40.8		8.2
Total net sales	$	161.6	$	118.4	$	304.3	$	224.8
Operating income
PVC products	$	6.4	$	7.9	$	14.3	$	5.0
PE products		2.1		0.3		2.2		0.2
Total operating income (loss)		8.5		8.2		16.5		5.2
Interest Expense		4.4		3.5		8.2		7.0
Income (loss) before income taxes and minority interest	$	4.1	$	4.7	$	8.3	$	(1.8	)

9

At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had $3.7 million of goodwill, which is associated with the PVC business.

11. Stockholders’ Equity Transactions

At December 31, 2004, the Company had warrants outstanding to purchase 1,940,542 shares of common stock or Class B common stock at $0.01 per share. On January 28, 2005, certain warrant holders elected to make a cashless exercise of their warrants to purchase 597,090 shares of Class B common stock in exchange for 595,508 shares of Class B common stock. The share differential represents the effect of the cashless exercise in which, in lieu of paying the current exercise price in cash, the holder forfeits the right to receive a certain number of warrant shares having a fair market value equal to the warrant exercise price. The Class B common stock issued to the warrant holders is convertible, at the holders’ option, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a 1:1 ratio.

On May 17, 2005, the holder of a warrant to purchase 1,343,452 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share made a cashless exercise of the warrant and received 1,340,657 shares of common stock. The warrant holder also exercised its right to require the Company to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3, to register these shares. The Registration Statement became effective August 12, 2005.

In the first quarter of 2005, USPoly issued $0.3 million in additional stock at a price of $1.10 per share. At December 31, 2004, PW Eagle owned approximately 75% of USPoly. Upon the completion of this transaction, the Company adjusted its investment interest in USPoly by $0.2 million to appropriately align the Company’s investment with its underlying 73% interest in USPoly. This adjustment was recorded as an increase to the Company’s additional paid-in capital with a corresponding increase to the Company’s investment in USPoly account.

Net sales for the second quarter of 2005 were $161.6 million, up $43.2 million, or 36.5% from $118.4 million in the same quarter last year. Approximately 38% of the increase in sales is due to the inclusion in 2005 of results from the UAC acquisition by USPoly on September 27, 2004. Overall volume of pounds sold increased by 18.4% in 2005 from 2004, and average selling prices have risen 15.3% due to the increasing cost of resin.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 15.0% in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to 20.2% in 2004. This change in percentage is magnified by the increase in selling prices in the current period. Selling prices increased faster than raw material costs during the second quarter of 2004, resulting in very strong margins. During the second quarter of 2005, margins declined slightly from the first quarter of 2005 as pipe prices declined near the end of the quarter and raw material costs were relatively unchanged.

Operating expenses were $15.8 million in the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.9% from $15.5 million in 2004. The increase in operating expenses is the result of increased costs of $1.9 million at USPoly, due primarily to the UAC acquisition, increased commission costs due to higher sales dollars, and higher freight costs due to higher volume and higher transportation rates. These increased costs were offset by the fact that USPoly recorded a gain on the sale of its metals parts business of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2005, there are no restructuring costs in 2005 compared to $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2004, and the second quarter of 2004 included a loss of $0.4 million on the sale of two manufacturing facilities.

Interest expense was $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared to $3.5 million in 2004, or an increase of $0.9 million. The second quarter of 2005 included a $0.7 million non-cash charge for a fair value adjustment to our liability for outstanding stock warrants. The rest of the increase results from higher debt levels at USPoly in 2005 compared to 2004 (which were incurred to finance the UAC acquisition), offset in part by the general reduction of interest rates in PW Eagle following the refinance that was completed in October of 2004. The refinance essentially lowered outstanding subordinated debt, which was replaced with lower interest cost revolving debt.

The income tax provisions (benefit) for the quarters ending June 30, 2005 and 2004 were calculated based on management’s then-current estimates of the annual effective rate for the year, with an estimated effective tax rate of 38.3% for both periods presented.

PVC Products

PVC sales increased 23.5% from $113.2 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $139.8 million in 2005. While volumes shipped increased by 7.2%, selling prices rose 15.2% from 2004. The spread of selling prices over raw material costs declined in the second quarter of 2005, however, which resulted in lower gross margins in 2005 than in the second quarter of 2004 of $(1.8) million. Operating expenses were reduced by $(0.3) million in the second quarter of 2005 compared to 2004. Increasing freight and sales commissions were offset by not incurring any restructuring charges in 2005, and the second quarter of 2004 included a loss of $0.4 million on the sale of two manufacturing facilities. The result was a decrease in operating income of $(1.5) million, from $7.9 million in 2004 to $6.4 million in 2005, or 4.6% of sales.

PE Products

PE sales increased $16.6 million, or 319.2%, from $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $21.8 million in 2005. Of this increase, the UAC business acquired in September 2004 accounted for $16.4 million, with the additional increase coming from the previous PE business. The much higher sales volume resulted in an increase in gross margins of $2.5 million in 2005. Operating expenses increased by $1.9 million due to the UAC acquisition and higher freight costs, and USPoly recorded a gain on the sale of its metals parts business of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2005. The result was an increase in operating income of $1.8 million, from $0.3 million in 2004 to $2.1 million in 2005, or 9.6% of sales.

Net sales for the first six months of 2005 were $304.2 million, up $79.4 million, or 35.3% from $224.8 million in the same quarter last year. Approximately 38% of the increase in sales is due to the inclusion in 2005 of results from the UAC acquisition by USPoly on September 27, 2004. While overall volume of pounds sold is higher by 6.4% in 2005 from 2004, average selling prices have risen 27.2% in 2005 from 2004 due primarily to the increasing cost of resin.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 15.6% for the first six months of 2005 as compared to 15.1% in 2004, as selling prices increased slightly faster than raw material costs.

Operating expenses were $30.9 million for the first six months of 2005, an increase of $2.1 million, or 7.3% from $28.8 million in 2004. The increase in operating expenses is the result of increased costs of $3.9 million at USPoly, due primarily to the UAC acquisition, increased commission costs due to higher sales dollars, and higher freight costs due to higher volume and higher transportation rates. These increased costs were offset in part by USPoly recording a gain on the sale of its metals parts business of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2005, a gain on the sale of land of $0.5 million in 2005, a loss of $0.4 million on the sale of two manufacturing facilities in 2004, and the fact that there are no restructuring costs in 2005 compared to $1.6 million in 2004.

Interest expense was $8.2 million for the first six months of 2005, compared to $7.0 million in 2004, or an increase of $1.2 million. 2005 interest expense included a $0.7 million non-cash charge for a fair value adjustment to our liability for outstanding stock warrants. The rest of the increase results from higher debt levels at USPoly in 2005 compared to 2004 (which were incurred to finance the UAC acquisition) which increased interest by $0.9 million, offset in part by the general reduction of interest rates in PW Eagle following the refinance that was completed in October of 2004. The refinance essentially lowered outstanding subordinated debt, which was replaced with lower interest cost revolving debt.

The income tax provisions (benefit) for the six months ending June 30, 2005 and 2004 were calculated based on management’s then-current estimates of the annual effective rate for the year, with an estimated effective tax rate of 38.3% for both periods presented.

During the first six months of 2004, USPoly recorded $0.3 million as equity in undistributed earnings of W.L. Plastics, as this investment was being accounted for on the equity method. Effective December 1, 2004, USPoly changed to the cost method of accounting for this investment, as further explained in the 2004 Form 10-K. Using the cost method in 2005, USPoly does not record any income or expense related to this investment.

PVC Products

PVC sales increased 21.6% from $216.6 million in the first six months of 2004 to $263.4 million in 2005. While volumes shipped declined by 4% (2004 first quarter shipments were very strong), this was more than offset by rising selling prices. In addition, the spread of selling prices over raw material costs continued to increase in the first six months of 2005, resulting in better gross margins. Operating expenses declined slightly in dollar amount in 2005 compared to 2004. Increasing freight, sales commissions and other expenses were off set by not incurring any restructuring charges in 2005, by a gain on sale of land of $0.5 million in 2005, and 2004 included a loss on sale of facilities of $0.4 million. The result was an increase in operating income of $9.3 million, from $5.0 million in 2004 to $14.3 million in 2005, or 5.4% of sales.

PE Products

PE sales increased $32.6 million, or 397.6%, from $8.2 million in the first six months of 2004 to $40.8 million in 2005. Of this increase, the UAC business acquired in September 2004 accounted for $30.3 million, with the additional increase coming from the previous PE business. Operating expenses increased by $3.9 million due to the UAC acquisition and higher freight costs, offset by USPoly recording a gain on the sale of its metals parts business of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2005. The result was an increase in operating income of $2.0 million, from $0.2 million in 2004 to $2.2 million in 2005, or 5.4% of sales.

Changes in Financial Condition and Liquidity

Total assets of $223.8 million at June 30, 2005 represented a $13.0 million increase from the $210.8 million at December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily from current assets, with the increase in accounts receivable and inventory amounting to $21.3 million, offset by decreases in property and equipment of $(5.1) million and decreases in deferred income taxes of $(3.4) million. Total capitalization at June 30, 2005 was $146.6 million, consisting of $128.8 million of debt and $17.8 million of equity, with equity increasing by $5.2 million from December 31, 2004. The increase in current assets is due to increased sales volume in the first six months of 2005 compared to the fourth quarter of 2004, as well as higher selling prices and a higher cost of resin. The decrease in property and equipment is primarily due to depreciation in excess of capital expenditures, along with a small land sale, and the USPoly sale of its metals line of business. The decrease in deferred tax assets is primarily a result of the income tax provisions for the current year.

We had negative working capital of $(4.4) million at June 30, 2005, which is an improvement of $13.1 million from the negative working capital of $(17.5) million at December 31, 2004. This improvement is the result of our return to profitability in the first six months of 2005, and the positive cash flow from operations of $16.3 million for the six months ending June 30, 2005. The portion of our revolving credit facility collateralized by fixed assets was $19.5 million at June 30, 2005. Had this portion of current debt been converted to long-term loans consistent with the long-term collateral, our working capital would be positive by $15.0 million at June 30, 2005.

On March 10, 2005, USPoly amended its Senior Credit Facility. As a result of this amendment, the maximum borrowing under the revolving portion of the credit facility was increased to $15 million from $10 million, and interest rates were generally increased by

14

0.5%. On June 30, 2005 USPoly received the net proceeds from the sale of its metals parts business amounting to $2.5 million. This was immediately applied to pay down both revolving debt and senior term loans under the Senior Credit Facility, further improving USPoly’s financial position.

In addition to the improvement in working capital, we had additional availability on our revolving credit facilities of over $37 million at June 30, 2005. Management believes that, for the foreseeable future, the Company can fund requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and other obligations from cash generated from operations and borrowing from existing credit facilities.

The senior credit facilities of PW Eagle and USPoly each contain certain covenants. The most restrictive covenant for PW Eagle requires us to maintain a minimum EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), including adjustments as defined in the debt agreement, of $15 million on a rolling 12 month period ending each calendar quarter. The most restrictive covenant for USPoly requires them to maintain a minimum cumulative EBT (earnings before taxes) for the current calendar year, which varies by month. The subordinated debt for each company, and some of the capital lease obligations, also contain covenants that either mirror, or are less restrictive than, the senior debt covenants. At June 30, 2005, both PW Eagle and USPoly were in full compliance with these covenants.

Cash provided by operating activities was $16.3 million in the first six months of 2005, compared to $(10.5) million of cash used in operating activities for the first six months of 2004. This net change of $26.8 million is primarily a result of a net change in net income of $5.9 million, and a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $19.0 million.

Cash provided from investing activities provided $1.8 million in the first six months of both 2005 and 2004. In the first quarter of 2005, we sold an excess parcel of land adjacent to our Perris facility for $0.9 million and in the second quarter we sold the metals division of USPoly for $2.5 million. Investing activities in the first six months of 2004 included the receipt of $4.2 million in proceeds relating to the sale of facilities, and an additional $1.6 million investment in WL Plastics. Purchases of property and equipment were $1.6 million in the first six months of 2005 and $0.8 million in the first six months of 2004.

Financing activities used $(17.8) million in the first six months of 2005, primarily for a net reduction of our revolving credit facilities and repayment of long-term debt. In the first six months of 2004, financing activities provided $10.3 million, primarily from our revolving credit facilities and a sale-leaseback transaction, net of repayment of long-term debt.

Issuance of Additional USPoly Stock

In January 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors approved USPoly entering into an agreement to issue additional common shares to new investors, directors, officers and employees thereby resulting in PW Eagle, Inc. no longer owning 100% of USPoly. At December 31, 2004, PW Eagle owned approximately 75% of USPoly.

In the first quarter of 2005, USPoly issued $0.3 million in additional stock at a price of $1.10 per share. Upon the completion of this transaction, the Company adjusted its investment interest in USPoly by $0.2 million to appropriately align the Company’s investment with its underlying 73% interest in USPoly. This adjustment was recorded as an increase to the Company’s additional paid-in capital with a corresponding increase to the Company’s investment in USPoly account.

Future Outlook and Risks to Our Business

INFORMATION IN THIS OUTLOOK SECTION AND OTHER STATEMENTS IN THIS FORM 10-Q ARE FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION – ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER

The statements contained above in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that are not strictly historical and the statements set forth in this Outlook section are forward-looking statements made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements reflect our expectations and beliefs as of August 5, 2005 and are based on information known to us, and our assumptions as of that date. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown business risks and risks that we cannot control. As a result, our statements may not come true and our operating results may differ materially from our stated expectations and beliefs.

Some of our current beliefs and expectations are discussed below along with risk factors that impact our business and industry.

Forward-Looking Statements

We believe the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is closely correlated to the demand for PVC and PE pipe, and we recognize that our business is tied to economic cycles. GDP is estimated to have grown at an annual rate of 3.4% in the second quarter of 2005, as compared to 3.8% in both the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005. Although GDP growth decreased in the second quarter of 2005, it remains at a moderate level. We believe GDP growth will remain at similar levels for the third quarter of 2005, resulting in stable demand for PVC and PE resin and pipe.

15

We believe that inventory levels at resin producers, pipe producers and distributors were at moderate levels at the end of the second quarter of 2005, making it likely that demand and supply of PVC and PE pipe and resin will remain in balance during the third quarter of 2005, providing moderate economic growth continues.

The production of PVC resin may be limited by the availability of chlorine and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), major raw material components of PVC resin. Chlorine and VCM capacity could be limited due to the closure of several manufacturing plants in the past and announced for 2005-2006. Announced capacity increases are not likely to have a significant impact until 2007. This combination of industry conditions leads us to believe that PVC resin supply should not exceed demand in 2005.

PVC resin producers implemented increases of $0.02 per pound in January and $0.01 per pound in March 2005. PVC resin prices decreased $0.01 per pound in June in response to weaker demand and lower raw material costs. After increasing earlier in the year, pipe prices decreased in the latter part of the second quarter of 2005. Accordingly, we expect that our margins in the third quarter of 2005 will decrease from the level of the first and second quarter of 2005.

Prices for PE resin were relatively flat in the first quarter of 2005 and then decreased gradually in the second quarter of 2005 in response to lower demand and lower raw material costs. Prices for PE pipe increased during the first quarter of 2005 and remained relatively unchanged in the second quarter of 2005. This improved the margins and operating results of our PE business in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2005. In the third quarter, we expect PE pipe prices will increase in response to increasing resin costs. Accordingly, we expect our third quarter margins to be similar to the second quarter of 2005.

Over time, we expect the demand for plastic pipe to grow as acceptance of plastic pipe over metal pipe continues and the overall economy continues to grow. Industry growth projections call for annual sales growth rates for PVC pipe of 3% or greater in 2005. The actual growth rate may be less than or greater than 3% based on short-term economic conditions. Our strategy has been, and continues to be, to concentrate growth initiatives in higher profit products and geographic regions.

We believe that the operational restructuring we began in the fourth quarter of 2003 and completed in the second quarter of 2004 has positioned the Company for improved future results by improving our manufacturing efficiency and reducing our selling, general and administrative costs. The refinancing we completed in 2004 will reduce our future interest charges.

Risk Factors

The pipe industry and our business are heavily dependent on the price and trend of resin, our main raw material.

Our gross margin percentage is sensitive to raw material resin prices and the demand for PVC and PE pipe. Historically, when resin prices are rising or stable, our margins and sales volume have been higher. Conversely, when resin prices are falling, our sales volumes and margins have been lower. During 2004, PVC resin producers implemented resin price increases totaling $0.15 per pound. These increases were driven by raw material and energy cost increases, combined with strong demand for PVC resin. PVC resin producers implemented a $0.02 per pound price increase for January 2005 and a $0.01 per pound increase for March 2005. PVC resin prices decreased $0.01 per pound in June in response to weaker demand and lower raw material costs.

Our gross margin decreases when the supply of resin and pipe is greater than demand. Conversely, our gross margins improve when resin and pipe are in short supply. In April 2001, a major producer of PVC resin filed for bankruptcy and, during the first quarter of 2002 ceased operations at two manufacturing facilities. This resulted in a reduction of approximately 1.0 billion pounds of production capacity, or 5% of the North American industry capacity. Although two PVC producers have subsequently purchased these two facilities, only one of them has announced intentions to re-start a portion of its capacity in 2005. In December 2004, a major PVC producer announced plans to build a PVC plant with annual capacity of 1.3 billion pounds together with integrated production of chlorine and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), with completion expected by the end of 2006 for the first phase and by the end of 2007 for the second phase. If these capacity increases result in industry capacity exceeding demand when they begin production, it could result in decreasing prices for PVC resin. In addition, we believe the production of PVC resin may be limited by the availability of chlorine, a major raw material component.

The demand for our products is directly affected by the growth and contraction of the Gross Domestic Product and economic conditions.

Due to the commodity nature of resin, pipe and the dynamic supply and demand factors worldwide, the markets for both resin and pipe have historically been very cyclical with significant fluctuations in prices and gross margins. Generally, after a period of rising or stable prices, capacity has increased to exceed demand with a resulting decrease in prices and gross margins. Over the last ten years, there have been consolidations in both markets, particularly with respect to PVC resin manufacturers. During the same period, the capacity of PVC resin producers has increased from just over 9 billion pounds to over 18 billion pounds today. In the last 10 years published PVC resin prices have fluctuated between $.25 and $.51 per pound. Currently resin prices are near historic highs.

16

While we expect the demand for PVC and PE pipe to continue to increase over the long term, we also expect that the industry will continue to be subject to cyclical fluctuations and times when supply will exceed demand, driving prices and margins down. These conditions could result from a general economic slowdown either domestically or elsewhere in the world or capacity increases in either the resin or pipe markets. General economic conditions both in the United States and abroad will continue to have a significant impact on our prices and gross margins.

We are dependent on suppliers of our raw materials. Our production or reputation could be seriously harmed if these suppliers were unable to timely meet our requirements on a cost effective basis.

Our PVC and PE products contain raw materials that are procured from a variety of suppliers. The cost, quality and availability of these raw materials, chief among them PVC and PE resin, are essential to the successful production and sale of our products. There are a limited number of suppliers for some of these raw materials. Alternative sources are not always available or may not be available on terms acceptable to us. For example, there are currently only five suppliers of PVC resin and four suppliers of PE resin in North America who are capable of providing us the material in an amount that would meet our requirements on terms acceptable to us. We believe our relationships with our raw materials suppliers are good and currently have long-term agreements in place with several of our key suppliers. However, if our suppliers were unable or unwilling to meet our demand for raw materials on terms acceptable to us and if we are unable to obtain an alternative source or if the price for an alternative source is prohibitive, our ability to maintain timely and cost-effective production of our products will be seriously harmed.

We have a significant amount of outstanding debt and must continue to operate our business to meet our outstanding obligations.

At June 30, 2005, PW Eagle had approximately $67.9 million in outstanding debt on a consolidated basis under the PW Eagle and USPoly revolving credit facilities. Of this amount, approximately $61.0 million was outstanding under the PW Eagle revolving credit facility, which bears interest at rates between 5.25% and 6.50%, and approximately $6.9 million was outstanding under the USPoly Senior Credit Facility, which bears interest at a rate of 7.25%.

At June 30, 2005, PW Eagle also had approximately 53.2 million in other long-term debt obligations on a consolidated basis. PW Eagle’s total current annual consolidated debt service obligation is approximately $12.2 million.

At December 31, 2004, PW Eagle was in full compliance with all debt covenants. PW Eagle completed a refinancing in the fourth quarter of 2004 and has new senior and subordinated debt facilities in place. At December 31, 2004, USPoly was not in compliance with certain financial covenants of its Senior Credit Facility and Subordinated Debt Agreement. On March 10, 2005, the lenders waived all covenant violations and amended their Agreements such that we believe USPoly will be in compliance with the covenants in the future. In addition, the maximum borrowing under the Senior Credit Facility was increased to $15 million. At June 30, 2005, both PW Eagle and USPoly were in compliance with all debt covenants.

We expect these new credit facilities to provide sufficient liquidity to operate our business and meet our obligations for the next several years. These conditions could change, however, if general economic conditions or other unforeseen events should cause a significant deterioration in our business results.

In the event of a default under our debt agreements, we would be required to either obtain a waiver from our lenders or amend our lending agreements. There is no assurance that our lenders would waive any future default or agree to any future amendments of our credit facilities and leases. If we failed to obtain a waiver or an amendment, we would be required to obtain new financing from alternative financial sources. There is no assurance that we could obtain new financing, and if we did, there is no assurance that we could obtain terms as favorable as our current credit facilities.

Interest rates affect our ability to finance our indebtedness and may adversely affect the demand for our products when higher rates slow the growth of our economy.

We are exposed to certain market risks on $61.6 million of outstanding variable interest-rate debt obligations at June 30, 2005. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates. Market risk is estimated as the potential increase in fair value resulting from a hypothetical one percent increase in interest rates which would result in an annual interest expense increase to PW Eagle of approximately $0.6 million. Accordingly, interest rate increases would further challenge our ability to pay the interest expense on our debt and fixed charges. In addition, an increase in interest rates could slow the growth of the economy and affect the demand for our products.

A significant portion of our business and the demand for our products is seasonal in nature and any adverse weather conditions that result in a slowdown in the construction industry may adversely affect demand for our products.

Our products are used in new residential and commercial construction. Because of this, the demand for these products tends to be seasonal to correspond with increased construction activity in the late spring, summer, and early fall. Any significant or prolonged adverse weather conditions that negatively affect the construction industry or slow the growth of new construction activity may negatively affect our operating results.

Our operating results are dependent on the price of resin and any competitive pressure in the resin industry that increases supply or decreases the price of resin may negatively affect our profitability.

The primary raw material used in most of our products is PVC resin. Generally, in periods of strong demand and limited supply of PVC resin, prices of resin tend to increase. Conversely, PVC resin prices tend to decrease when demand is weak and there is excess supply. Historically, in response to increasing resin prices, we have been able to increase the price of our products at a greater rate, resulting in better margins. During periods of decreasing resin prices, our selling prices have tended to decrease faster than our raw material costs, resulting in lower margins. In the event of a significant increase in PVC resin capacity or a significant decrease in the demand for PVC resin, resulting in a period where there is an excess supply of PVC resin, our margins and profitability could be negatively impacted.

A loss or limitation of prior utilization of net operating loss carryforwards could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

The Company’s cumulative deferred tax asset recorded in prior years totaling approximately $13.5 million associated with net operating loss carryforwards has been fully utilized. We have evaluated tax-reporting compliance relating to the past and fiscal 2000 utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards, and believe we have complied in all respects. A failure to meet the requirements could result in a loss or limitation of the utilization of carryforwards, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations in future periods.

Our inability to utilize current net operating loss carryforwards could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

We have not provided any valuation allowance associated with deferred tax assets of approximately $11.0 million at June 30, 2005. Although the Company’s industry and operating profits are highly cyclical, management believes that the Company will be profitable over its operating cycle, based on historical results and other analysis. This belief is largely based on a combination of 1) the Company’s participation as one of the PVC pipe industry leaders, 2) distribution centered on populated growth markets, 3) professional management dedicated to the PVC pipe industry and 4) debt paydown and corresponding reduction in future financing costs. The Company’s cyclical nature and corresponding operating results are significantly influenced by the overall US future economic cycles, which, in addition to driving demand for the Company’s products, also influence the cost of the primary raw material, PVC resin. Generally, as PVC resin costs are rising during our operating cycles, our profitability associated with product shipments increases. These factors have been considered as part of the Company’s evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance associated with deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance at each balance sheet date in 2005, to ensure the conclusions reached in 2004 are sustainable. Any change in this conclusion would result in a direct reduction of our reported results from operations, and could result in a significant reduction of our shareholders’ equity as of the date of the potential determination of the need for such a valuation allowance for financial reporting purposes.

The deferred tax assets are primarily the result of net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax purposes. These net operating losses, which expire at various dates through 2024, amounted to approximately $34.1 million and $25.7 million for federal and state tax purposes, respectively, at December 31, 2004. To fully utilize the deferred tax assets, the Company is required to earn these amounts of taxable income over the next 20 years. For the six months ending June 30, 2005, our income before income taxes and minority interest amounted to $8.3 million.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks on outstanding variable rate debt obligations totaling $61.6 million at June 30, 2005. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates. Market risk is estimated as the potential increase in interest expense resulting from a hypothetical one percent increase in interest rates and would result in an annual interest expense increase of approximately $0.6 million.

We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We only enter into financial instruments to manage and reduce the impact of changes in interest on our Senior Credit Facility. On November 12, 2004, the Company entered into a fixed rate swap agreement for 50% of the fixed asset collateral portion of the new Senior Credit Facility. The total notional amount of the swap contracts decreases in proportion to the reduction in the fixed asset collateral portion of the credit facility, until the fixed rate agreement terminates in November of 2007. At June 30, 2005, these contracts had a notional amount of $10.5 million and a fair value of $0.0 million.
