Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
April 1, 2000
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-month
period ended April 1, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 30, 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 1, 2000.
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 $1,151,000 for the three months ended April 1, 2000.
Comprehensive income consists of net income plus unrealized gains and losses
on the Company's foreign equity investment of $77,000, net of deferred income
taxes of $41,000 for the three months ended April 1, 2000, and is recorded in
Shareholders' Equity.

NOTE 5--SEGMENT INFORMATION (Continued)
During the first quarter of 2000, the Company completed the reorganization of
its Chemicals Segment changing the Segment into two separately managed product
groups - Colors and Specialty Chemicals. Previously, the Segment had been
managed by geographic location. The amounts for the first quarter of 1999
have been restated to reflect the reorganization.

Synalloy Corporation
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 April 1, 2000. (Dollar amounts
are in thousands except for per share data.)
Consolidated sales for the quarter were up, increasing 17 percent compared to
the same period one year ago. Consolidated net income also increased 219
percent to $1,074 for the quarter, or $.17 per share, compared to $337, or
$.05 per share, reported the same period one year ago. On a sequential basis,
sales were up eight percent, however, net income declined 26 percent resulting
from special charges of $576, or $.06 per share, incurred in the quarter. Per
share income before the special charges was the same as the $.23 reported in
the fourth quarter of 1999.
Sales in the Colors Group were down 13 percent in the first quarter, which is
a continuation of the downward trend that has been evident in the domestic
textile color business since 1995. Factors leading to this industry-wide
malaise have been discussed in earlier press releases and periodic filings
with the SEC. Management is not pleased with the modest level of operating
profit but believes it is acceptable under current conditions. The Company
has added vat dyes to its product line and is developing color sales outside
the textile industry in an attempt to arrest the slide in color sales.
The Chemicals Group had a more modest decline in sales of five percent but
operating income was down 72 percent in the first quarter. The declines were
essentially attributable to results from the Augusta, Georgia plant. This
plant suffered an operating loss of $583 in the quarter, including a $65
special charge for clean up of a chemical spill, compared to a $285 loss a
year earlier. As previously announced, the Company plans to close the Augusta
plant and move most of the equipment and production to its plant in
Spartanburg, S.C. by the end of this year. Management expects the closure to
reduce negative operating variances and, accordingly, enhance future earnings.
However, the Company expects to take a restructuring charge in the future,
which has not been quantified.
The Metals Segment had a sterling performance in the first quarter with a 44
percent increase in sales producing operating income more than five times the
level of 1999's comparable quarter. The sales increase resulted from 22
percent more unit volume coupled with an 18 percent increase in average
selling prices. The dramatic increase in income was after a $353 special
charge related to the closure of the Company's process equipment plant in
Camden, S. C. The plant incurred an operating loss, before the special
charge, of $127 in the quarter on sales of $581. In 1999, the plant had
operating losses of $473 on sales of $2,477. Closure of the plant has now
been completed and no losses are anticipated from this plant after the first
quarter.
After four years of steady erosion of stainless steel pipe prices, the trend
reversed in the third quarter of 1999 and prices are now about one-third
higher than their lows. Most industry sources believe this trend will continue
during 2000 and take prices even higher. If this occurs and demand remains
strong the Metals Segment should produce excellent results for the rest of the
year.
Selling and administrative expense for the quarter was negatively impacted by
a $158 special charge for an unanticipated payment made under a contract
related to a pre 1973 employment matter. Management does not believe this
contract represents any significant financial exposure to the Company in the
future. Without the special charge, selling and administrative expense was 10
percent of sales for both the first quarter of 2000 and 1999.

Synalloy Corporation
Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition
And Results Of Operations - Continued
Cash flows from operations totaled $962 during the first three months of 2000
compared to $246 generated during the same period one year ago. The increase
came primarily from net income. Accounts receivable increased $1,982 in the
first quarter compared to a $3,145 increase last year which resulted from an
usually low level existing at January 2, 1999, due to the increase in sales
experienced in the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 1998.
Inventories increased $1,022 during the quarter compared to a decline of $356
occurring in the first quarter of 1999, offsetting the accounts receivable
change. 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.
