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 March 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 28, 1996. For comparative
purposes, certain amounts in the 1995 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation. 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 December 30,
1995.
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--NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Income per share is computed using the weighted average shares of common stock
and dilutive Common Stock equivalents (options) outstanding during the
respective periods. Stock options in the aggregate reduce earnings per share
by less than three percent in all years presented, therefore diluted per share
amounts are not disclosed.
NOTE 5--SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
On April 28, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a three-for-
two split of the Company's common stock. This was paid in the form of a stock
dividend on June 12, 1995 to shareholders of record May 22, 1995.
Accordingly, all share and per share information throughout the consolidated
financial statements has been restated to reflect this split. The par value
for the additional shares issued was transferred from capital in excess of par
to common stock.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Of The Financial
Condition And Results Of Operations
The following is management's discussion of certain significant factors which
affected the Company during the quarter ended March 30, 1996
Consolidated sales and net income were $36,659,000 and $2,922,000,
respectively, for the quarter reflecting 6 percent increases over the same
period one year ago. Earnings per share of $.41 increased eight percent over
the same period one year ago reflecting the impact of the purchase of 324,000
shares of the Company's common stock as discussed below.
Chemical Segment sales were $11,167,000 for the quarter reflecting a 15
percent decline compared to the same period one year ago. Operating income
declined 16 percent to $1,167,000 for the quarter compared to the same period
one year ago. Specialty chemicals showed good improvement in the first quarter
compared to last year contributing 41 percent of operating income compared to
29 percent for the same period one year ago. Conditions in the textile dye
market over the past two quarters, which represent the bulk of the chemical
business, have been the worst the Company has experienced in many years.
Sales and profits for the quarter from these products were down approximately
26 and 16 percent, respectively, from the same period one year ago. Under
these conditions, management is pleased with the solid profitability from dyes
and pigments, and believes the Company is well-positioned to benefit from the
inevitable cyclical recovery in this business. Several of the major dye
producers have recently gone through mergers and/or spin-offs that will
probably have the ultimate effect of reducing world-wide capacity. Many of
the larger producers are losing money or are marginally profitable in their
dyestuff businesses. This leads us to believe that the current low prices are
unsustainable and should show improvement in the future.
Metals Segment sales were $25,492,000 for the quarter reflecting a 19 percent
increase over the same period one year ago. Operating income increased 14
percent to $4,063,000 for the quarter over the same period one year ago. The
sales increase resulted from higher average selling prices while unit volume
was essentially unchanged from last year's record first quarter level. During
the first quarter, production was cut back in order to reduce intentionally
high inventory levels maintained in 1995. The Company chose not to have
temporary layoffs in connection with this planned decrease in production.
This necessarily led to negative volume variances that reduced operating
income. Demand continues to be very good from most of the industries using
these products. However, raw material costs and selling prices have been
trending downward for the past several months, and current selling prices are
below the level experienced in the second quarter of last year. In addition,
the Company will not benefit from the inventory profits experienced in the
second quarter of last year. Based on this, we do not expect sales and
profits in the second quarter to equal the levels obtained in the second
quarter of last year. The new 16-inch continuous pipe mill is now installed
and should be in routine production by May 1 enhancing the Company's already
leading position among stainless pipe producers.
Selling and administrative expense for the quarter was approximately seven
percent of consolidated sales which is consistent with prior year's amount.
Interest expense increased ten percent over last year's amount due to
increased borrowings needed for working capital requirements and to fund the
repurchase of the Company's common stock.

Synalloy Corporation
Management's Discussion And Analysis Of The Financial
Condition And Results Of Operations - Continued
Cash flows from operations totaled $4,506,000 during the first quarter
compared to a $2,079,000 decrease in cash flows during the same period one
year ago. The increase reflects the Company's planned reduction of
inventories by $4,100,000 from year end levels. During the quarter, the
Company purchased 324,000 shares of its common stock for the treasury for
$5,622,000, including $4,980,000 for 289,000 shares purchased under a
previously announced $5,000,000 buyback program. 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.
