INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the
Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the "Schedule 13E-3")
originally filed on May 19, 1999 by (i) SRB-MWI, L.L.C., a Nevada limited
liability company ("Parent"), (ii) MWI Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation
("Purchaser"), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, (iii) Meadowcraft, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and (iv) Samuel R. Blount, relating to
the tender offer by Purchaser for all of the issued and outstanding shares (the
"Shares") of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated May
19, 1999 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal (which
together constitute the "Offer").
All capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition have
the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13E-3.

Item 16. Additional information.
(a) Item 16 of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended by amending and
restating in its entirety the eleventh paragraph under the heading
"Introduction" in the Offer to Purchase as follows:
The information contained in this Offer to Purchase concerning the
Company was supplied by the Company. The information contained in
this Offer to Purchase concerning the Offer, the Merger, Parent and
Purchaser was supplied by Purchaser, and the Company takes no
responsibility for such information except to the extent such
information relates to the Company.
(b) Item 16 of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended by amending and
restating in its entirety the first paragraph under the heading "The Tender
Offer--Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Shares" in the Offer to Purchase
as follows:
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer
(including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and
conditions of any such extension or amendment), Purchaser will
accept for payment, and will pay for, all Shares validly tendered
prior to the Expiration Date and not properly withdrawn, promptly
after the Expiration Date.
(c) Item 16 of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended by amending and
restating in its entirety the last paragraph under the heading "The Tender
Offer--Certain Information Concerning the Company--Certain Projections" in the
Offer to Purchase as follows:
The Projections were prepared solely for internal use and not with
a view to public disclosure or compliance with the published
guidelines of the Commission or the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants regarding Projections and were not prepared with
the assistance of, or reviewed by, independent accountants. Such
Projections are included by Purchaser in this Offer to Purchase
solely because such information was furnished to Parent and
Purchaser by the Company. None of Parent, Purchaser, the Company,
Wachovia Securities or any other person provides any assurances as
to the accuracy of the projected outcomes or the completeness of
the Projections, and the inclusion of such projected information in
this Offer to Purchase should not be regarded as an indication that
any of such persons consider such projected outcomes to be accurate
or reliable. The Projections were not prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and were not audited or
reviewed by any independent accounting firm, nor did any such firm
perform any other services with respect thereto. While presented
with numerical specificity, the Projections are based on a variety
of assumptions relating to the business of the Company, industry
performance, general business and economic conditions and other
matters that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties
and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control.
These assumptions involve judgments with respect to, among other
things, future economic and competitive conditions, inflation rates
and future business conditions. Therefore, such Projections are
inherently imprecise and there can be no assurance that they will
prove to be reliable. Also, actual future results may vary
materially from those shown in the Projections. None of Parent,
Purchaser, the Company or Wachovia Securities is under any
obligation to or has any intention to update the Projections at any
future time.
(d) Item 16 of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended by amending and
restating in its entirety the first paragraph under the heading "The Tender
Offer--Certain Conditions of the Offer" in the Offer to Purchase as follows:
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Offer, the Purchaser
shall not be required to accept for payment or, subject to any
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, including Rule
14(e)-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to Purchaser's
obligation to pay for or return tendered shares after the
termination or withdrawal of the Offer), to pay for any Shares
tendered pursuant to the Offer, and (subject to the terms of the
Merger Agreement) may amend or terminate the Offer or postpone the
acceptance for payment, the purchase of, and/or payment for Shares
if at any time on or after the date of the Merger Agreement and at
or before the Expiration Date any of the following conditions
exists:
