             UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

     The unaudited pro forma condensed  combined  financial data set forth below
gives effect to the  acquisition of Newmark  International,  Inc. and Pfleiderer
Leasing USA, Inc.  (collectively,  "Newmark") (the  "Acquisition")  on April 16,
2004  by the  application  of  the  pro  forma  adjustments  to  the  historical
consolidated financial statements of Valmont Industries,  Inc. ("Valmont").  The
unaudited pro forma condensed  financial data should be read in conjunction with
the audited and unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and notes
of Valmont and the historical audited combined financial statements and notes of
Newmark.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 27,
2003 gives effect to the  Acquisition  as if it had  occurred on such date.  The
unaudited pro forma condensed  combined  statement of operations gives effect to
the  Acquisition  as if it occurred as of December 29, 2002.  The  unaudited pro
forma  condensed  combined  financial  data do not  purport  to  represent  what
Valmont's  results of  operations or financial  position  would have been if the
Acquisition  had occurred as of the dates indicated or what such results will be
for any future periods.

     The  unaudited  pro  forma  condensed  combined  financial  data  have been
prepared giving effect to the Acquisition,  which is accounted for as a purchase
business  combination  in  accordance  with  Statement of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  ("SFAS") No. 141,  "Business  Combinations." The total purchase price
for Newmark was allocated to the net assets based upon preliminary  estimates of
fair value.  The purchase price  allocations for the Acquisition are preliminary
and  further  refinements  are likely to be made  based on the  results of final
valuations and the  resolution of any  post-closing  purchase price  adjustments
pursuant to the stock purchase agreement.

     The unaudited pro forma  adjustments  are based upon available  information
and certain assumptions that Valmont believes are reasonable,  which assumptions
are described in the  accompanying  notes.  The  unaudited  pro forma  condensed
combined  statement of operations  excludes certain  non-recurring  charges that
will be incurred in connection with the Acquisition  including an inventory fair
value  step-up  from the  Acquisition  expected to increase  fiscal 2004 cost of
sales by $1.0 million.

We expect to allocate a portion of the  purchase  price to  property,  plant and
equipment and finite lived intangible  assets.  Assuming a weighted average life
of 10 years, for each $10.0 million  allocated to property,  plant and equipment
and finite lived  intangible  assets,  pro forma net earnings  would decrease by
$635,000.
