                              RVM INDUSTRIES, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------


1.       The information in this report reflects all adjustments which are, in
         the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
         results for the interim periods presented for RVM Industries, Inc.
         ("the Company"). All adjustments other than those described in this
         report are, in the opinion of management, of a normal and recurring
         nature. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
         RVM's wholly owned subsidiaries: Ravens, Inc. ("Ravens"), Albex
         Aluminum, Inc. ("Albex") and Signs and Blanks, Inc. ("SABI"). All
         significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
         eliminated. Certain amounts in the financial statements were
         reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.

2.       Earnings per common share are based on net income divided by the
         weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares
         outstanding. Loss per common share is based on net loss divided by the
         weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted
         average number of common shares outstanding was 1,935,000 in 1997 and
         1,943,525 in 1996.

3.       Inventories consist of the following:



                                                     September 30, 1997           March 31, 1997

                                                             ----------               ----------

                                                            ===========               ==========


         The reserve to reduce the carrying value of inventories from current
         cost to the LIFO basis amounted to approximately $1,996,000 at
         September 30 and $1,955,000 at March 31.

4.       On April 1, 1997, Albex and SABI changed their fiscal year ends from
         December 31 to March 31 to conform with the March 31 year ends of RVM
         and Ravens. $211,651 is the cumulative effect of this accounting change
         and is equivalent to the net loss for Albex and SABI for the quarter
         ended March 31, 1997. If the fiscal year ends had changed effective
         April 1, 1996, net income for the six months ended September 30, 1996
         would have decreased by $97,796. RVM's net income for the six months
         ended September 30, 1997 includes a net loss of $258,077 for Albex and
         SABI compared to a net loss of $294,557 for the six months ended
         September 30, 1996. Albex and SABI were S-corporations until March 31,
         1997. The undistributed net loss was reclassified from accumulated
         deficit to additional capital.

                              RVM INDUSTRIES, INC.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1997


                     MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash from operating and financing activities was used mainly for capital
expenditures on Albex's aluminum billet casting facility in the six months ended
September 30, 1997. Working capital increased to $6,879,029 at September 30 from
$2,181,245 at March 31 due mainly to replacing short-term bank financing with
long-term financing. Accounts receivable-trade, inventories, and accounts
payable - trade increased mainly due to a higher level of sales in August and
September 1997 than in February and March 1997.

On September 30, 1997, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with
FirstMerit Bank, N.A. ("FM") replacing the existing agreements. The agreement
provides for borrowings up to $15,000,000 based on eligible accounts receivable
and inventories and expires on August 31, 1999. Interest is at FM's prime rate
minus 1/4%. The agreement is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory
and equipment.

On September 30, 1997, the Company and FM also entered into a $5,000,000 term
loan agreement for the financing of certain existing and to be acquired fixed
assets. Interest is at FM's prime rate. Repayment terms are interest only for
two years and principal plus interest for seven years. The Company borrowed
$1,800,000 under this agreement subsequent to September 30, 1997.

Jacob Pollock provided a $2,500,000 guarantee on the above loan agreements.

The Company could have borrowed approximately $1,373,000 more than the amount
owed FM at September 30, 1997. This amount is in addition to the $1,800,000
borrowing described above. Although no assurances are possible, the Company
believes that its cash resources, credit arrangements, and internally generated
funds will be sufficient to meet its operating and capital expenditure
requirements for existing operations and to service its debt in the next 12
months and foreseeable future. Cautionary statements: Demand for the Company's
products is subject to changes in general economic conditions and in the
specific markets in which the Company competes. The Company's liquidity could be
adversely affected if Albex is not successful in completing the casting facility
and generating sufficient sales of billet.

The Company's sales order backlog for new trailers was approximately $4,500,000
and $5,700,000 at September 30 and May 31, 1997, respectively. Sales orders
received in October and November exceed the average monthly sales recorded in
the six months ended September 30, 1997.

                    MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

               Six Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to the
               ---------------------------------------------------
                       Six Months Ended September 30, 1996
                       -----------------------------------


Net sales increased 26.8% mainly due to increased volume of aluminum extrusion
sales by Albex. The gross profit margin increased to 14.5% from 12.4% due to
improvements at all of the subsidiaries. Ravens benefitted from higher sales and
the closure of the utility trailer division which generated losses in the prior
year. Albex increased sales and operating efficiencies in 1997 compared to 1996
when its production facility was relocated from Elizabeth, West Virginia to
Canton, Ohio. SABI increased its gross profit on the same level of sales by
concentrating on more profitable customers and lowering costs. Selling, general
and administrative expenses decreased to 7.6% from 8.7% of net sales as net
sales increased at a greater rate than selling, general and administrative
expenses. Interest expense increased mainly due to more debt outstanding during
the period ended September 30, 1997 versus the period ended September 30, 1996.

The provision for income taxes includes $261,000 for the establishment of
deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of April 1, 1997 when Albex and
SABI converted from S-corporations to C-corporations. The pro forma income tax
benefit is the amount that would have been recorded if Albex and SABI had been
taxed as C-corporations, based on the tax laws in effect during those periods.
See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for an explanation of the
cumulative effect of accounting change.

                      -------------------------------------

Net sales increased 35.7% mainly due to increased volume of aluminum extrusion
sales by Albex. The gross profit margin increased to 13.1% from 12.8% due to the
same reasons described for the six month period. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 7.2% from 8.6% of net sales as net sales
increased at a greater rate than selling, general and administrative expenses.
Interest expense increased mainly due to more debt outstanding during the period
ended September 30, 1997 versus the period ended September 30, 1996.
