                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
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 such rules and regulations.  Certain
prior year items have been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.

     In 1994 the Company modified its interim fiscal reporting periods. Each
period will end on the Saturday nearest to the end of the respective calendar
quarters for March, June and September. This change will have no effect on the
annual reporting period which will continue to end on December 31 and will have
no material effect on the quarterly or nine month comparisons.

     These statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position and results of operations. The financial statements included herein
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the latest annual report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 - During the third quarter of 1994, the Company recorded nonrecurring
charges of $36.3 million ($22.5 million or $1.53 per share after tax).  The
charges consist of approximately $29.3 million related to a restructuring
program designed to improve profitability and $7.0 million for unusual items
primarily consisting of the write down of certain intangible assets and obsolete
and discontinued products.

     The Company began working on the proposed restructuring program during the
fiscal 1994 second quarter. The restructuring charge consists of several
components including: severance and related costs in connection with the planned
reduction of approximately 15% of the Company's workforce or approximately 600
salaried and hourly jobs, consolidation and closure of selected regional
distribution and manufacturing facilities, the abandonment of certain
information systems and other actions including lease termination expenses and
transaction costs to execute the restructuring program. It is anticipated that
these actions will be implemented over the next twelve months and the Company
should realize annualized pretax savings of approximately $12 million upon full
implementation.

     The balance of the restructuring accrual at October 1, 1994 is
approximately $20.2 million of which approximately $16.9 million is included in
accounts payable and accrued expenses and the remainder included in deferred
income taxes and other liabilities.

NOTE 4 - Earnings (loss) per share of common stock are based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during each of the periods.  Primary and
fully diluted earnings per share for the 1993 periods include the dilutive
effect of unexercised stock options.  Fully diluted earnings per share in 1993
include the assumed conversion of the Company's Convertible Senior Subordinated
Discount Debentures ("Debentures").

NOTE 5 - Supplemental cash flow information for the nine month periods are as

     Non-cash financing activities involve the issuance of common stock during
the first quarter of 1994 upon conversion of $49,963,000 of the Company's
Debentures.

NOTE 6 - The accumulated amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired
and other intangibles is $25,498,000 at October 1, 1994 and $26,136,000 at
December 31, 1993.

NOTE 7 - The Company's loan agreement with its banks require the attainment of
certain working capital and tangible net worth levels and the maintenance of
various financial ratios, among its provisions.  Under the most restrictive of
these covenants, at October 1, 1994 approximately $1,770,000 of retained
earnings was available for the payment of dividends for the balance of 1994.

NOTE 8 - Hoover Treated Wood Products, Inc. ("Hoover"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, is a defendant, along with many other parties, in a
number of commercial lawsuits, including a purported class action on behalf of
certain Maryland homeowners, alleging property damage caused by alleged defects
in certain pressure treated interior wood products. Hoover has not manufactured
or sold these products since August 1988. The Company is also a defendant in
some of these suits. The number of lawsuits pending, as of October 1, 1994,
where Hoover is not being defended and indemnified by a third party, as well as
the number of lawsuits filed in 1993 and 1994 have declined significantly from
earlier periods.

     Many of the suits and claims have been settled.  In those suits that remain
pending, direct defense costs are being paid by either insurance carriers, under
reservations of rights agreements, or out of insurance proceeds.  Two actions
have proceeded to trial against Hoover and resulted in jury verdicts against it.
In one of these actions, judgment was entered in Hoover's favor by the court
after a jury verdict against it and the plaintiff's petition to appeal the
judgment entered in Hoover's favor was denied.  Hoover is appealing the other
judgment and believes that it has meritorious grounds for overturning it in
whole or in part.

                                  (Unaudited)


     Hoover and the Company have engaged in litigation with their insurers
regarding coverage for these lawsuits and claims. Hoover has settled its
coverage claims with a majority of its insurers and is negotiating settlements
with others. Hoover and the Company believe they have meritorious claims for
coverage from their remaining unsettled insurers and are seeking declaratory
judgments confirming such coverage. The proceeds from settled insurance claims,
along with the proceeds from a settlement of claims by Hoover against certain
suppliers of materials used by it in the production of treated wood, are
available for the settlement of the underlying property damage actions,
including the jury verdict now on appeal. The Company believes that Hoover's
remaining coverage disputes will be resolved within the next two years on a
satisfactory basis and a substantial amount of additional coverage will be
available to Hoover. In reaching this belief, it has analyzed Hoover's insurance
coverage, considered its history of successful settlements with primary and
excess insurers and consulted with counsel.

     Hoover and the Company are vigorously defending the underlying lawsuits
which cannot be resolved on a reasonable basis and believe that they have
meritorious defenses to those suits including, in the case of the Company, the
defense that it has been improperly joined, as it did not manufacture or market
the Hoover products at issue, and is not legally liable for the damage allegedly
caused by them.

Interpretation No. 39, which became effective on January 1, 1994, Hoover has a
receivable at October 1, 1994 (included in other assets) for $17.9 million for
the estimated proceeds and recoveries related to insurance matters discussed
above and an accrual for the same amount (included in other liabilities), for
its estimated cost to resolve those matters not presently covered by existing
settlements with insurance carriers and suppliers.  In estimating both this
liability, which Hoover expects to discharge over the next four years, and its
anticipated additional insurance recoveries, Hoover and the Company have
considered a number of factors, including:  the number and exposure posed by the
pending lawsuits; the significant decline in the number of lawsuits filed in
1993 and 1994; the availability of various legal defenses, including statutes of
limitations; the existence of settlement protocols; an agreement indemnifying
Hoover as to certain past and future claims; and Hoover's experience to date in
settling with its insurance companies and the likely availability of additional
insurance.  Based on its evaluation, the Company believes that the ultimate
resolution of the lawsuits and the insurance claims will not have a material
adverse effect upon the financial position of the Company.

NONRECURRING CHARGES
- --------------------

     During the third quarter of 1994, the Company recorded nonrecurring charges
of $36.3 million. As more fully described in Note 2 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, the nonrecurring charges consist of $29.3 million related
to a restructuring program and $7.0 million related to unusual items primarily
consisting of the write down of certain intangible assets and obsolete and
discontinued products. Approximately $14 million of the charge is for non cash
charges resulting from asset write-offs.

     The profit improvement actions involve delayering the organization,
changing business processes, utilizing facilities more effectively and improving
product line management. The actions are expected to be implemented over the
next twelve months and the Company expects to realize annualized pretax savings 
of approximaely $12 million upon full implementation.

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

     Net sales for the third quarter of 1994 increased to $219.0 million, a 4.8%
increase from the corresponding 1993 period. Sales for the current quarter were
affected by a ten day work stoppage at the Company's largest window
manufacturing facility. Net sales for the first nine months of 1994 were 11.6%
higher compared to the corresponding 1993 period as substantially all operating
entities reported higher sales for the first nine months of 1994 compared to
1993. Of the total net sales increase in the nine month comparison periods,
approximately 6% is attributable to additional unit volume and the remainder to
increases in average selling prices. The increase in net sales in the quarterly
comparison was primarily attributable to increases in average selling prices.

     Gross profit, expressed as a percent of sales, was 21.3% for the third
quarter of 1994 as compared with 19.5% for the same 1993 period. For the first
nine months of 1994 gross profit was 19.8% compared to 19.0% for the same period
in 1993. Improved labor productivity, overall lower conversion costs and the
absence of new plant start-up costs incurred in 1993 were primarily responsible
for the improvement in gross profit.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales, for
the 1994 third quarter were essentially flat compared to the prior year. For the
year to date comparison, selling, general and administrative expenses were 14.2%
in 1994 compared to 14.6% in 1993. The decline is primarily due to economies
resulting from absorption of fixed expenses over a larger sales base and a lower
provision for bad debts partially offset by higher employment costs.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 1, 1994

     The nonrecurring charges created a loss from operations of $18.8 million
in the 1994 third quarter compared to operating income of $13.7 million in the
comparable 1993 period. Excluding the charges operating income would have
advanced approximately 28% and 41% respectively, for the quarter and year to
date comparisons for the reasons described in the preceding paragraphs.

     Interest expense declined approximately $1.1 million for the third quarter
of 1994 when compared to the second quarter of 1993. Lower interest expense for
the quarter resulted from the conversion of the Company's Debentures into common
stock on March 25, 1994, partially offset by higher borrowing levels primarily
needed to support the higher level of operations and slightly higher interest
rates. 

     The Company's effective tax rate was 34.9% and 27.7% respectively, for the
three and nine months ended October 1, 1994 compared to approximately 45.2% for
the 1993 comparison periods. The lower effective rates, which are used to
compute the tax benefit on the periods losses, are attributable to a
proportionately larger amount of non deductible goodwill amortization in 1994
when compared to income (loss) before taxes than in 1993.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Company used $3.9 million in cash from operations during the first
nine months of 1994 principally as a result of an increase in working capital
primarily associated with the higher level of overall business activity and the
timing of the tax benefit related to the exercise of stock options.

     Significant investing activities during the first nine months of 1994
include capital expenditures of $14.7 million primarily incurred in the
Company's Windows, Doors and Siding subsidiaries.

     Significant financing activities in the first nine months of 1994 related
to the net increase in revolving credit borrowings of $19.8 million used
principally to finance the working capital and capital expenditures of the
Company.

     The Company expects to spend approximately $11 million after taxes 
in connection with the restructuring program over the next several 
years.

     The Company's current ratio was 2.9 to 1 at October 1, 1994 compared to 3.2
at December 31, 1993.

     Available bank credit facilities were approximately $70 million at October
1, 1994.
