                   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. The Company revised the statement of operations reporting format
  to include amortization expense relating to intangible assets as a selling,
  general and administrative expense. Previously such amortization had been
  reported as a separate expense caption after income from operations. In
  addition, certain other prior year items have been reclassified to conform to
  the 1995 presentation .

       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.

       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.

 Note 2 - During 1994, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $29.1
 million related to a restructuring program.  The status of the components of
 the restructuring provision at the end of the period was:

 NOTE 4 - Earnings (loss) per share of common stock are computed by dividing net
 earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
 Stock options have been excluded from the calculations for the quarter and six
 month periods ended July 1, 1995 as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 Earnings per share in 1994 is calculated using the modified treasury stock
 method, which limits the assumed purchase of treasury shares to 20% of the
 outstanding common shares.

 NOTE 5 - Supplemental cash flow information for the six month periods are as
 follows:

Income taxes paid             662         2,487


 NOTE 6 - The accumulated amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired
 and other intangibles is $27,233,000 at July 1, 1995 and $25,990,000 at
 December 31, 1994.

 NOTE 7 - The Company's loan agreements with its banks require a specified
 leverage ratio, fixed charge ratio and tangible net worth levels as well as the
 maintenance of certain other financial ratios, among its provisions. Under the
 most restrictive of these covenants, at July 1, 1995 approximately $2,000,000
 of retained earnings was available for the payment of dividends in 1995.

 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 July
 1, 1995, as well as the number of lawsuits filed since 1993, have declined
 significantly from earlier periods.

       Most of the suits and claims have been resolved by dismissal or
 settlement.  In those suits that remain pending, direct defense costs are
 being paid 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)


  NOTE 8 (Continued) -Hoover and the Company have engaged in litigation with
  some of 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.

       Hoover has recorded a receivable at July 1, 1995 (included in other
  assets) for approximately $12.8 million for the estimated proceeds and
  recoveries related to insurance matters discussed above and recorded 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 evaluating the effect of the lawsuits, a number of factors have been
  considered, including:  the number and exposure posed by the pending lawsuits;
  the significant decline in the number of lawsuits filed since 1993 and to
  date; 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
  proceeds from 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.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                   QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 1, 1995


 Results of Operations
 ---------------------

       Net sales for the second quarter of 1995 totaled $199.6 million, a
 decrease of 9.2% over the same period in 1994.  For the six months ended July
 1, 1995, net sales declined from $383.2 million to $359.8 million or 6.1% from
 the comparison period in 1994.  The primary cause of the decline in sales was
 the Company's planned exit or de-emphasis of certain low margin products.
 Excluding these products, net sales declined 3% and 1% respectively, for the
 quarterly and six month periods from a year ago.  Unit volume declined at the
 Company's wood window business which was partially offset by increases in the
 Company's vinyl window and siding businesses.  Furthermore, a general decline
 in lumber prices affected dollar sales volume at the Company's Specialty Wood
 businesses.

       Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of sales, was 16.9% in the second
 quarter of 1995 compared with 21.0% for the same 1994 period.  The first half
 of 1995 gross profit was 16.2% as compared to 18.9% for the first half of 1994.
 The 1995 gross margins have been impacted by higher conversion costs, including
 costs related to the restructuring program such as training and moving costs,
 and new product manufacturing start-up costs.  In addition, higher commodity
 costs, particularly PVC resin and glass had a negative impact on gross margins,
 as did declining lumber prices in the Company's Specialty Wood businesses.

       Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales,
 for the 1995 second quarter were essentially flat compared to the 1994 second
 quarter, however, as reported, selling, general and administrative expenses
 declined approximately $2.5 million for the quarterly comparison.  The decline
 is primarily attributable to a lower provision for bad debts, lower  marketing
 expenses and lower amortization expenses related to intangible assets partially
 offset by higher corporate expenses mostly related to the restructuring
 activities.  For the 1995 first half comparison, selling, general and
 administrative expenses were 15.8% in 1995 compared to 15.3% in 1994.

       Interest expense declined approximately $1.2 million for the first half
 of 1995 when compared to the first half of 1994 and was approximately the same
 for the quarterly comparison periods. Lower interest expense for the first half
 of 1995 resulted primarily from the conversion of the Company's 10% debentures
 into common stock on March 25, 1994.

       Investment and other income expense, net was $1.0 million for the six 
months ended July 1, 1995 compared to $ .3 million for the same period a year 
ago.  The increase is primarily due to higher accounts receivable programs costs
due to an increase in the amount of receivables sold under this program.

       The Company's effective tax rate in the second quarter of 1995 is
 36.5%, which compares with 44.9% in the second quarter of 1994.  The effective
 tax rate for first half of 1995 and 1994 was approximately 45%.  The lower
 effective rate for the second quarter of 1995 resulted from the revision of the
 Company's estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the
 full year.

       During 1994 the Company commenced a restructuring program designed to
 improve its cost structure primarily through facilities consolidations and
 closures, abandonment of certain information systems and workforce reductions
 and accrued $29.1 million for these planned actions. Implementation of several
 initiatives included in the restructuring program have been

 delayed or have resulted in higher costs than originally anticipated.  As a
 result the Company does not expect to realize the majority of the savings from
 full implementation of the restructuring program until 1996 and thereafter.  As
 previously disclosed, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will
 realize any significant future savings.

       As a result of the aforementioned factors, the Company experienced lower
 levels of operating and net income for the quarterly and six month comparison
 periods.

       The Company is taking a number of steps to improve operating results in
 the second half of 1995 and beyond.  These actions include:  implementation of
 a new information system at the Company's window businesses, aggressive
 procurement initiatives, particularly with regard to PVC resin and glass;
 elimination of costly consulting fees; reduction of administrative expenses;
 and the creation and implementation of new employee productivity programs.

       As a result of the actions outlined above, the Company believes that
 operating results for the second half of 1995 will be improved when compared to
 the first half of 1995, but will be lower than the comparable period for 1994
 before the nonrecurring charges due to previously mentioned delays and
 difficulties associated with the restructuring program.

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

       The Company used $17.3 million in cash from operations during the first
 six months of 1995 principally as a result of lower net income, a seasonable
 increase in working capital and costs related to certain restructuring
 activities.

       Significant investing activities during the first six months of 1995
 include capital expenditures of $15.8 million primarily incurred in the
 Company's Windows, Doors and Siding subsidiaries and costs associated with the
 Company's new information system.

       Significant financing activities in the first six months of 1995 related
 to the net increase in revolving credit borrowings of $21.6 million used
 principally to finance the working capital and capital expenditures of the
 Company.

       The Company's current ratio improved to 2.8 to 1 at July 1, 1995 compared
 to 2.5 at December 31, 1994.

       The Company has a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of twelve
 banks which provides financing through February 1999.  Availability under this
 facility was approximately $51 million at July 1, 1995.

       The Company anticipates that internally generated funds from operations,
 existing cash balances and the Company's existing credit facility should be
 sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements.
