  Note A - Basis of Presentation
  ------------------------------

  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
  statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
  principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and
  Exchange Commission rules and regulations.  Although the Company believes the
  disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
  misleading, these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction
  with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
  Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

  In the opinion of the Registrant, all adjustments, which are of a normal
  recurring nature, necessary to present the information fairly have been made.
  Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business the results of operations
  for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

  Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been
  reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Overhead Door
  Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
  accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Overhead Door Incorporated
  (the Parent) is a non-operating company whose only asset is its ownership of
  100% of the outstanding common stock of Overhead Door Corporation (Overhead
  Door). See Note B for the acquisition of the Parent as of July 18, 1996. The
  accompanying financial statements subsequent to July 17, 1996 ("Successor"
  financial statements) reflect the new basis of assets and liabilities acquired
  as of July 18, 1996 including additional goodwill and the indebtedness
  incurred to finance the acquisition. Financial statements for the periods
  prior to July 18, 1996 ("Predecessor" financial statements) reflect the
  basis of assets and liabilities of the previous owners of the Company.

  Note B - Sanwa Shutter Acquisition
  -----------------------------------

  On July 18, 1996, all of the outstanding common stock of Overhead Door
  Incorporated, a privately held Indiana corporation ("ODI"), the Company's
  parent, was acquired (the "Sanwa Acquisition") by Sanwa Shutter Corporation,
  of Tokyo, Japan ("Sanwa"). Sanwa USA Inc. ("Sanwa USA"), a newly formed
  Delaware corporation which is wholly owned by Sanwa, now holds all of the
  outstanding common stock of ODI. The total consideration paid or assumed was
  approximately $710 million, including $470 million in cash to acquire ODI's
  common stock, cancel options and warrants, and to redeem its preferred stock.

  The Sanwa Acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting
  and the excess of the purchase  price over  the fair value of the  net assets
  acquired is  included in cost in  excess  of net assets of businesses acquired
  in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company refinanced
  its  outstanding  bank  debt  of  approximately $154  million  including
  accrued  interest.

                                  (UNAUDITED)
                                        
  Sanwa USA loaned to the Company the amounts necessary to fully repay and
  terminate the credit agreement which had represented all of the Company's
  outstanding bank debt, in accordance with the terms of a new bridge loan
  agreement between Sanwa USA and the Company.

  The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the
  Sanwa Acquisition from its July 18, 1996 effective date.

  Prior to the Sanwa Acquisition, the Company paid $35.6 million to certain
  employees and officers for the cancellation of outstanding ODI common stock
  options and warrants.  This charge is included in the statement of operations
  as compensation expense for the Predecessor period.  Additionally, a
  participating financial institution in the Company's previously outstanding
  credit facilities was paid $18.3 million for the cancellation of ODI common
  stock warrants.  This charge is included in interest expense in the statement
  of operations for the Predecessor period.

  Note C - Litigation and Other Contingencies
  --------------------------------------------

  The Company is a defendant in various legal proceedings arising in the
  ordinary course of business. The following discussion should be read in
  conjunction with the litigation and other contingencies footnote included in
  the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

  At September 30, 1997, the Company was a defendant in 54 cases, all pending in
  the state courts in California, in which damages are sought for property
  damage alleged to have been caused or contributed to by aluminum windows
  manufactured by Premier Products, a former division of the Company which was
  divested in 1989.  The suits allege various theories of liability, including
  negligence and contract under California's ten year construction defect
  statute of limitations.  The Company denies liability in each of the lawsuits.

  The Company filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment in August 1995, in the
  United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against The
  Chamberlain Group, Inc.  The Complaint requests a declaratory judgment that a
  line of residential garage door openers which the Company has recently
  introduced does not infringe a particular patent owned by Chamberlain.
  Chamberlain has filed a counterclaim against the Company alleging that such
  openers do infringe its patent and that such infringement is willful.  An
  injunction and unspecified damages are requested.

  The Company is self-insured with respect to a portion of its potential losses
  relating to product and general liability and workers' compensation claims.
  The Company is responsible for the first $0.5 million of loss related to each
  product or general liability claim and the first $0.3 million of loss  related
  to each worker's compensation claim.  Third-party insurance, up to $50.0
  million, is maintained for losses in excess of these amounts.  The Company
  maintains reserves for anticipated self insurance losses.

  Although the results of any litigation or claim cannot be predicted with
  certainty, management believes that the outcome of pending litigation and
  claims, when considered in conjunction with self insurance reserves
  established therefor ($13.4 million at September 30, 1997 and $13.2 million at
  December 31, 1996) will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
  results of operations or financial condition.

                  OVERHEAD DOOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
                                  (UNAUDITED)
                                        
  The Company has been determined by the United States Environmental Protection
  Agency (the "EPA") to be a potentially responsible party concerning a
  Superfund third-party waste disposal site near Syracuse, New York.  No Record
  of Decision has been issued for this site by the EPA, and due to the
  uncertainties it is not possible at this time to determine what the Company's
  future liability (if any) in connection with this site will be.  However, with
  the limited information currently available, the Company has estimated its
  liability at this site and has created a reserve in a prior year in the amount
  of $1.5 million.  This reserve may need to be changed from time to time as
  more information becomes available, and there can be no assurance that the
  existing reserves will be adequate for the intended purpose.  After
  consideration of this reserve, the above stated estimated liability is not
  expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
  operations, financial condition or liquidity.

  At September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, accounts receivable from
  companies in the construction industry totaled $78.7 million and $82.2
  million, respectively.  The Company extends credit and requires collateral, if
  necessary, based on the evaluation of each customer's financial condition.

  Note D- Inventories
  -------------------

  Substantially all inventories are valued on the LIFO method.  The accounting
  records for any interim period do not reflect inventory values as between raw
  materials, work-in-process and finished goods.  The September 30, 1997 amounts
  represent an estimated breakdown between raw materials, work-in-process, and
  finished goods inventories, based upon each category's proportionate share at
  December 31, 1996.  The cost of material included in cost of products sold
  during the interim periods is determined by using estimated material cost
  rates.  Inventories are classified as follows:

  Current cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO)

  Note E - Income Taxes
  ---------------------

  The principal differences between the U.S. Federal income tax rate and the
  Company's effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30,
  1997 are amortization of goodwill and state income taxes. The tax expense or
  benefit is recorded in interim periods using an estimated yearly effective tax
  rate.

  At September 30, 1997 the total deferred tax liability for taxable temporary
  differences was $53.5 million and the total deferred tax asset for deductible
  temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards was $21.9 million, net
  of a $2.3 million valuation allowance.  The net noncurrent deferred tax
  liability totaled $43.4 million and the net current deferred tax asset which
  is included in Prepayments and Other Current Assets totaled $11.8 million.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  --------------------- 

  The following discussion of 1996 reflects the results of operations for the
  combined Predecessor period and Successor period.

  THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
  30, 1996

  Net sales increased $11.9 million (8.3%) to $155.2 million for the three
  months ended September 30, 1997 from $143.3 million in the three months ended
  September 30, 1996.  Net sales increases were recorded in all product groups
  except loading dock equipment.

  Gross profit increased to $30.2 million for the three months ended September
  30, 1997, a $3.6 million increase from $26.6 million in the same period of
  1996.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 19.5% in the
  third quarter of 1997 from 18.6% in the third quarter of 1996.  The primary
  cause of this increase is higher sales volume.  For interim reporting
  purposes, the cost of material included in cost of products sold is determined
  using estimated material cost rates and the results from physical inventories
  taken during all quarters of the year.

  Operating income for the third quarter of 1997 was $4.1 million as compared to
  $4.4 million in the third quarter of 1996 after excluding compensation expense
  related to the Sanwa acquisition of $35.6 million.  As a result of the Sanwa
  Acquisition and the related goodwill recorded, 1997 includes $.9 million of
  additional amortization expense.  Higher gross profits were also offset by
  increased advertising and legal expenses.

  Interest expense decreased to $4.6 million for the three months ended
  September 30, 1997 from $24.5 million for the three months ended September 30,
  1996.  The three months ended September 30, 1996 includes $18.3 million for
  the cancellation of stock warrants related to the predecessor company.  The
  remaining decrease is primarily due to lower interest rates on outstanding
  debt and amortization of a bond premium recorded in connection with the Sanwa
  Acquisition.

  Income tax expense of $7.4 million was recorded for the third quarter of 1997
  as compared to a tax benefit of $21.8 million in the 1996 quarter. The tax
  expense or benefit is recorded in interim periods using an estimated effective
  income tax rate. The Company's effective income tax rate is significantly
  higher than the U. S. Federal tax rate due to goodwill amortization that is
  not deductible for tax purposes and state income taxes.

  NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
  30, 1996

  Net sales during the first nine months of 1997 increased $19.2 million (4.7%)
  to $428.5 million from $409.3 million recorded in the same period in 1996.
  While unit sales increased, higher product discounts as a result of increasing
  competition in the door market and higher sales of lower priced products
  contributed to the small increase in net sales.

  Gross profit was virtually unchanged at $80.5 million for the first nine
  months of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.  As a percentage of net
  sales, gross profit declined to 18.8 % in the first

                                       9

 
  nine months of 1997 from 19.7% in the first nine months of 1996.  A shift in
  product mix to sales of lower margin products accounted for most of the
  decline and to a lesser extent lower price realization in the door market.
  For interim reporting purposes, the cost of material included in cost of
  products sold is determined using estimated material cost rates and the
  results from physical inventories taken during all quarters of the year.

  Operating income for the first nine months of 1997 was $7.3 million, a
  decrease of $12.5 million from the $19.8 million reported in 1996 after
  excluding compensation expense related to the Sanwa acquisition of $35.6
  million.  The decline is mainly due to the higher amortization expense as a
  result of the Sanwa Acquisition.  Amortization was $7.7 million higher for the
  nine months of 1997 as compared to the nine months of 1996.  Higher
  expenditures for advertising, information systems, and legal fees also
  contributed to the lower operating income.

  Interest expense decreased to $13.8 million in the first nine months of 1997
  from $37.7 million in the first nine months of 1996.  The nine months ended
  September 30, 1996 includes $18.3 million for the cancellation of stock
  warrants related to the predecessor company.  The remaining decrease is due to
  amortization of a bond premium recorded at the time of the Sanwa Acquisition
  and lower interest rates on outstanding debt.

  The income tax expense of $0.2 million in the first nine months of 1997
  compares to a benefit of $21.5 million in the first nine months of 1996.  The
  tax expense or benefit is recorded in interim periods using an estimated
  effective income tax rate.  The Company's effective income tax rate is
  significantly higher than the U. S. Federal tax rate due to goodwill
  amortization that is not deductible for tax purposes and state income taxes.

  Financial Condition
  -------------------

  The Company uses a Revolving Credit Facility to help fund seasonal cash flow
  requirements.  The outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Facility at
  September 30, 1997 was $34.5 million. Availability under the Revolving Credit
  Facility at September 30, 1997 was $13.4 million.  Due to the seasonal nature
  of the Company's business, borrowings to fund working capital needs generally
  increase beginning late in the second quarter and begin to decline late in the
  fourth quarter.  In the first nine months of 1997 the Company repaid $15.0
  million of term loans.  The Company has a $10.0 million principal payment due
  December 31, 1997 on its term loan.

  Capital expenditures were $7.2 million during the first nine months of 1997 as
  compared to $3.1 million in the first nine months of 1996.  The increase
  includes tooling costs for new product manufacturing and upgrades in technical
  systems and facilities in support of the Company's business.

  For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net cash flows provided by
  operating activities totaled $20.7 million compared with $16.8 million used
  for operating activities in the first nine months of 1996.  The higher use of
  funds in 1996 was mainly to reduce accounts payable levels.

  The Company has a historical seasonal pattern of improved results over the
  last half of a calendar year when compared to the first half of a year.  While
  there is no way of assuring that this pattern will continue, the Company has
  no reason to believe that construction industry patterns will change in the
  foreseeable future.  The Company believes that the cash flow generated by its
  operations, together with borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility,
  should be sufficient to fund its cash needs during the balance of the year.
