Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
July 3, 1999
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 and
six month periods ended July 3, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending January 1, 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 2, 1999.
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 $202,000 and $581,000 for the three and six months
ended July 3, 1999, respectively. Comprehensive income consists of net income
plus unrealized losses on the Company's foreign equity investment, of $124,000
and $81,000, net of deferred income taxes of $66,000 and $43,000 for the three
and six months ended July 3, 1999, respectively, and is recorded in
Shareholders' Equity.

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 July 3, 1999. (Dollar amounts
are in thousands except for per share data.)
Consolidated sales for the quarter increased 10 percent and decreased one
percent year to date compared to the same periods one year ago. Consolidated
net income increased to $326 from $110 for the quarter and declined six
percent to $662 from $707 year to date, respectively, compared to the same
periods one year ago.
Metals Segment sales increased 11 percent and declined eight percent in the
quarter and year to date, respectively. In spite of a 12 percent decline in
average selling prices compared to last year's second quarter, a strong 26
percent increase in unit volumes produced the improvement in dollar sales.
The average price decline was driven by lower stainless steel costs and
competitive pressure from cheap imports of stainless pipe. Operating income
was up 153 percent because of improved results from piping systems and process
equipment which more than offset a profit decline from stainless pipe.
On July 7, 1999, the International Trade Commission voted to impose
antidumping and countervailing duties ranging up to 59 percent on imports of
stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from eight countries. This triggered
an announcement of a seven percent price increase effective July 19, 1999 by
most U.S. stainless producers. The Company is in the process of preparing a
new price sheet that will raise pipe prices about seven percent. Management
believes this signals a reversal of the relentless decline that has driven
stainless pipe prices down 50 percent since 1995. However, only time will
tell if these price increases will hold up in the market place.
The $22,700,000 backlog of piping systems and process equipment at July 3,
1999 is over four times the level of a year earlier. This backlog is expected
to be completed over the next six quarters and provides a foundation for good
operating results from these products over that time period.
Chemicals Segment sales increased eight and seven percent in the quarter and
year to date, respectively. The acquisition of Organic Pigments effective
July 1, 1998 led to the increase in second quarter sales. Excluding the
acquisition, sales were down nine percent. Operating income declined 35 and
16 percent in the quarter and year to date, respectively. The declines in
operating income reflect the poor results from textile colors that continue to
mirror the negative conditions in the domestic textile industry. Specialty
chemicals results were about the same as a year earlier.
The startup of a sizeable agricultural product toll agreement has been delayed
due to problems encountered in the transition from pilot to plant equipment.
Management believes that corrective actions now being taken will result in the
successful production of this product before year end. The Company has
recently reached an agreement with an international chemical company that
should lead to the largest contract processing project ever obtained by the
Company. Production is scheduled to begin late this year. These two
activities will have little effect on 1999 but are expected to contribute
significantly to sales and profits thereafter. In spite of the dismal state
of the domestic color business, the Company is pursuing several initiatives it
believes will enhance future financial performance from these products.

Synalloy Corporation
Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition
And Results Of Operations - Continued
Selling and administrative expense for the quarter and year to date were 10
percent of consolidated sales, respectively, compared to last year's 10 and
nine percent.
Cash flows from operations totaled $4,388 during the first six months of 1999
compared to $6,998 generated during the same period one year ago. The decrease
in cash flows came primarily from increases in accounts receivable and
inventories, offset by an increase in accounts payable totaling $845 in 1999,
compared to a $4,850 change from the same accounts in 1998. The decrease was
offset by the $872 increase in income taxes payable form 1998 to 1999. The
Company used part of the cash flows generated in 1999 to purchase in 148,925
shares of the Company's common stock for $1,024. 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.
