              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
       (unaudited) (dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
     consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
     (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
     present fairly the financial position as of October 31, 1996, the
     results of operations for the three months and nine months ended
     October 31, 1996 and 1995, and cash flows for the nine months then
     ended.  Prior period financial statements have been restated to
     include the accounts of ELASCO (defined in Note 2 below) acquired
     and accounted for as a pooling of interests (see Note 2).

     The fiscal year of the Company is a 52- or 53-week period ending on
     the last Friday in January.  Fiscal year 1997 will be a 53-week
     period while fiscal year 1996 was a 52-week period.  The nine
     months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995 contained 40 and 39 weeks,
     respectively, while the three months ended October 31, 1996 and
     1995 each contained 13 weeks.

     The January 26, 1996 balance sheet contains certain
     reclassifications which were made to conform to the October 31,
     1996 financial statement format.  None of these reclassifications
     affected net income or shareholders' equity.

2.   On April 26, 1996 the Company acquired all the common stock of
     Electric Laboratories and Sales Corporation and ELASCO Agency
     Sales, Inc. (collectively, "ELASCO") in exchange for 490,161 shares
     of the Company's common stock.  ELASCO is a wholesale distributor
     of electric utility supplies and equipment with three branches in
     Illinois and Ohio.  The transaction has been accounted for as a
     pooling of interests and, accordingly, historical financial data
     has been restated to include ELASCO.  ELASCO's fiscal year end has
     been changed to the last Friday in January to conform to the
     Company's fiscal year end.

3.   On May 13, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the
     assets, properties and business of PVF Holdings, Inc. and its
     subsidiaries ("PVF").  The aggregate consideration paid was
     $108,832, consisting of cash in the amount of $81,917, the issuance
     of 737,645 shares of common stock having an agreed-upon value of
     $27.763 per share and the assumption of $6,436 of bank debt.  PVF
     distributes stainless steel pipe, valves and fittings from 16
     locations nationwide, and had sales of approximately $110,000 for
     calendar year 1995.  The transaction has been accounted for as a
     purchase and the results of operations of PVF from the date of
     acquisition are included in the consolidated financial statements. 
     The excess of cost over net assets acquired is being amortized over
     15 years by the straight-line method.

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
       (unaudited) (dollars in thousands, except per share data)

     The following table reflects the pro forma combined results of
     operations, assuming the PVF acquisition had occurred at the
     beginning of each period presented:

                                        Nine Months Ended October 31,
                                             1996           1995
                                          ----------     ----------
          
          Net sales                       $1,083,262       $939,031
          Net income                          24,326         23,055
          Earnings per share:
               Primary                          2.60           2.86
               Fully diluted                    2.59           2.84
     
     The past and future financial performance of PVF will be directly
     influenced by the cost of stainless steel and nickel alloy which as
     a commodity item can and does fluctuate.  Significant fluctuations
     in the prices of stainless steel and nickel alloy which have
     occurred in the first nine months of each period presented have
     resulted in gross margins for PVF of 38.2% for the first nine
     months of fiscal 1996 compared to 29.6% for the first nine months
     of fiscal 1997 included in the pro forma information above.  As a
     result of the commodity price fluctuations and the fact that these
     significant price fluctuations could continue to create cyclicality
     in PVF's future operating performance, management believes that the
     pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of future
     performance.

4.   On May 29, 1996 the Company issued $98,000 of senior notes in a
     private placement in connection with the acquisition of PVF.  The
     notes mature in 2011, bear interest at 7.96% and will be payable in
     20 equal semi-annual payments beginning in 2001.  In May, 1996 the
     Company sold in a public offering 1,486,989 shares of its common
     stock which generated net proceeds of approximately $48,197. 
     Proceeds received by the Company in the private placement of the
     senior notes and the sale of the Company's common stock were used
     to partially fund the PVF acquisition (including satisfaction of
     the interim note payable to the sellers) and to reduce indebtedness
     outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility and line
     of credit agreement.

5.   In addition to the acquisitions discussed in Notes 2 and 3 above,
     during the nine months ended October 31, 1996 the Company acquired
     several wholesale distributors of materials to the construction
     industry for cash and stock.  These acquisitions have been
     accounted for as purchases or immaterial poolings and did not have
     a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the
 
                                Page 9
     Company.  Results of operations of these companies from their
     respective dates of acquisition have been included in the
     consolidated financial statements.

6.   On August 22, 1996 the Company's Board of Directors increased the
     regular quarterly cash dividend from $.09 to $.10 per share
     effective for the third quarter dividend which was payable on
     November 15, 1996 to shareholders of record on November 1, 1996.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION - continued


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

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the financial condition of the
Company as of October 31, 1996, and the results of operations for the
nine months then ended.

As described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, on April 26, 1996 the Company and Electric Laboratories and
Sales Corporation and ELASCO Agency Sales, Inc. (collectively, "ELASCO")
entered into a business combination accounted for as a pooling of
interests.  Accordingly, all financial data in this discussion and
analysis is reported as though the companies have always been combined.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

Net Sales:

Net sales increased to $371.7 million for the quarter ended October 31,
1996, 25% over the prior year's third quarter.  Net sales for the nine
months were $1.1 billion which was 23% ahead of last year.  Newly-
acquired and opened wholesale outlets provided 18 and 14 percentage
points of the 25% and 23% increases for the three and nine month
periods, respectively. 

Management expects commercial construction activity to continue at
current levels.  These favorable conditions coupled with the Company's
acquisition program should result in continued sales growth.
 
Gross Profit:

Gross profit and gross margin for the three and nine months ended
October 31, 1996 and 1995 were as follows (dollars in thousands):


                                        1996                     1995         
                                  Gross      Gross        Gross      Gross           Variance     
                                  Profit     Margin       Profit     Margin      Amount       %  
                                                                          
         Three months ended     $  78,829    21.2%      $  59,608    20.1%      $ 19,221    32.2%
         Nine months ended      $ 217,913    20.7%      $ 171,532    20.1%      $ 46,381    27.0%


More than half of the third quarter improvement in gross margins is
attributable to the inclusion of branches acquired from PVF Holdings,
Inc. and its subsidiaries ("PVF") in May, 1996.  Expansion of product
offerings to lines with better margins, efficiencies created with
central distribution centers, and volume purchasing power have also
contributed to the improvement in gross margins.


                                Page 11

Operating Expenses:

Operating expenses for the three and nine month periods ended October
31, 1996 and 1995 were as follows (dollars in thousands):


                                        1996                   1995   
                                             % of                    % of           Variance     
                                  Amount   Net Sales      Amount   Net Sales     Amount       %  
                                                                          
         Three months ended     $  61,438    16.5%      $  51,105    17.2%      $ 10,333    20.2%
         Nine months ended      $ 177,796    16.9%      $ 146,706    17.2%      $ 31,090    21.2%


Approximately 18 and 14 percentage points of the 20.2% and 21.2%
increases in operating expenses for the three and nine months ended
October 31, 1996, respectively, is attributable to recent acquisitions
and newly-opened wholesale outlets.  Lower insurance costs resulting
from a reduction in insurance premiums and better than expected claims
experience in prior year policies as well as synergies associated with
consolidated operations are primarily responsible for the decrease in
operating expenses as a percentage of net sales for the three and nine
month periods.  

Non-Operating Income and Expenses:

Interest and other income decreased $.5 million and increased $.7
million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1996,
respectively, over the prior year periods.  These fluctuations are
primarily attributable to gain or loss on the sale of property and
equipment, and increased collection of service charges due on delinquent
accounts receivable.

Interest expense was $3.1 million and $7.9 million for the three and
nine months ended October 31, 1996 compared to $1.9 million and $5.9
million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1995,
respectively.  The increases are primarily the result of higher
borrowing levels as interest rates have been essentially unchanged. 
Expansion through business acquisitions has been partially funded by
debt financing.

Income Taxes:

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended October 31,
1996 and 1995 were as follows:

                                         1996           1995

Prior to its merger with the Company on April 26, 1996, ELASCO was a
Subchapter S corporation and, therefore, not subject to corporate income
tax.  ELASCO's Subchapter S corporation status terminated upon the 
merger with the Company.  As a result, the Company's effective tax rate 
will be lower for the year ended January 26, 1996 than for the year 

                                Page 12
ended January 31, 1997.  The effective income tax rate for the combined
companies is expected to be approximately 40% in the fourth quarter.
                                   
Net Income:

Net income for the third quarter increased 83% to $9.2 million.  Fully-
diluted earnings per share for the third quarter were $.91 compared to
$.67 in the prior year, a 36% increase with 36% more shares outstanding.

For the nine months ended October 31, 1996, net income reached $22.0
million, a 56% increase over the nine months ended October 31, 1995. 
Fully-diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended October 31,
1996 and 1995 were $2.43 and $1.91, respectively.  This increase of 27%
was on 23% more shares outstanding.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital at October 31, 1996 amounted to $267 million compared to
$187 million at January 26, 1996.  The working capital ratio increased
slightly - 2.8 to 1 at October 31, 1996 compared to 2.5 to 1 at January
26, 1996.  These increases are primarily due to higher levels of
inventories and receivables which are required to support the Company's
growth.

Cash payments for business acquisitions, accounted for as purchases,
totaled $90 million for the nine months ended October 31, 1996.  In
addition, the Company issued approximately 1,304,000 of its common
shares valued at $37 million for such purchases and for acquisitions
accounted for as immaterial poolings of interests.   

As discussed in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, in May, 1996 the Company issued 1,486,989 shares of its
common stock in a public offering (generating net proceeds of
approximately $48 million, after all expenses) and issued $98 million of
senior notes in a private placement in connection with the purchase of
substantially all of the assets, properties and business of PVF.  In
addition to funding the PVF acquisition, the net proceeds of these
offerings were used to reduce indebtedness outstanding under the
Company's bank debt. 

Management believes the PVF acquisition provides the Company with
several strategic benefits, including:  (i) a well-established position
in the stainless steel and specialty alloy sector of the pipe, valve and
fitting products market; (ii) a higher gross margin product group than
the Company's other product groups; (iii) greater focus on targeted
industrial and replacement markets; (iv) a strong management team; and
(v) new opportunities for additional acquisitions.  Additional growth
opportunities for the Company related to the PVF acquisition include
incremental sales of complementary valve products (which represented 
only 2% of PVF's fiscal 1995 net sales) and new branch openings.
Expenditures for property and equipment were $11.0 million for the nine 

                                Page 13

months ended October 31, 1996 compared to $8.8 million for the nine
months ended October 31, 1995.  These expenditures are expected to be 
approximately $14 million for fiscal year 1997.

Principal reductions on long-term debt were $14.3 million for the nine 
months ended October 31, 1996 compared to $5.4 million for the prior
year nine months.  The increase resulted primarily from paying off debt
of recent business acquisitions.  Dividend payments were $2.2 million
and $2.6 million during the nine months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Prior year dividend payments included $1.3 million in
cash dividends of pooled companies.

Management believes that the Company has sufficient borrowing capacity,
with $90 million available under its existing credit facilities (subject
to certain covenants related to the senior notes and in the revolving
credit facility and line of credit agreement), to take advantage of
growth and business acquisition opportunities and has the resources
necessary to fund ongoing operating requirements and anticipated capital
expenditures.  Future expansion will continue to be financed on a
project-by-project basis through additional borrowing, or, as
circumstances allow, through the issuance of common stock or equity-
linked securities.
