1 SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following table sets forth selected historical financial data of the Company and its predecessors for the five years ended December 31, 1997. The selected financial data for the Company for 1996 and 1997 were derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period from June 19, 1996 (inception) through December 31, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1997, included elsewhere in this Report. The selected financial data for the predecessors for 1996 and 1995 were derived from the audited combined financial statements of Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company included elsewhere in this Report; and the audited combined financial statements of Mallyclad Corporation and Vyn-L Corporation included elsewhere in this Report. The historical financial data for the Predecessors for 1994 were derived from the audited combined financial statements of Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company that are not included in this Report; and the audited combined financial statements of Mallyclad Corporation and Vyn-L Corporation that are not included in this Report. The selected financial data for the predecessors for 1993 were derived from the unaudited combined financial statements of Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company, that are not included in this Report; the unaudited financial statements of Mallyclad Corporation, that are not included in this Report; and the unaudited financial statements of Vyn-L Corporation which are not included in this Report. The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the historical financial statements along with the notes thereto of the Company, Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company, and Mallyclad Corporation and Vyn-L Corporation included elsewhere in this Report. ================================================================================ Predecessors(2) The Company(1), (3) --------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Pre-Acq. 1996 1993 1994 1995 1996 AAPC Combined(4) 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) Statement of Operations Data: Sales.............................................. $116,809 $97,209 $76,955 $41,887 $25,249 $ 67,136 $ 94,252 Cost of Sales...................................... 103,260 87,181 71,164 35,430 19,027 54,457 74,304 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gross Profit..................................... 13,549 10,028 5,791 6,457 6,222 12,679 19,948 Selling, general & administrative expenses......... 20,211 14,929 12,983 7,440 4,060 11,500 17,178 Restructuring charge............................... 0 0 840 0 0 0 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Operating income (loss)..........................

ETC was formed in June 1996. Effective June 25, 1996, ETC's ultimate controlling shareholder acquired Mallyclad and Vyn-L. Subsequently, on December 18, 1996, Mallyclad and Vyn-L were merged into ETC. Based on the control maintained by this 18 2 shareholder, the merger was considered a transaction among companies under common control and, accordingly, accounted for at the shareholder's historical cost and included in the accounts of ETC effective June 25, 1996. Effective August 29, 1996, ETC acquired Eagle and Taylor. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed recorded at estimated fair values and the results of operations included in ETC's financial statements from the date of acquisition. Effective December 18, 1996, ETC acquired and combined with FCEI. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by ETC were recorded at their estimated fair values and the results of FCEI's operations and included in the financial statements of ETC from the date of the acquisition. The merged entity subsequently changed its name to American Architectural Products Corporation (AAPC). For the purposes of presenting the selected financial data, Eagle and Taylor, and Mallyclad and Vyn-L are considered to be the Predecessors and their financial data are presented on a combined basis. The financial data for the period after the acquisitions are presented on different cost bases than the financial data before the acquisitions and, therefore, are not comparable. (2) Selected financial data for the Predecessors for 1993 through 1995 were derived from the audited combined financial statements of Eagle and Taylor for 1994 and 1995, and the unaudited combined financial statements of Eagle and Taylor for 1993; the unaudited financial statements of Mallyclad for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1993; the unaudited financial statements of Vyn-l for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1994; and the audited combined financial statements of Mallyclad and Vyn-L for the years ended November 30, 1994 and 1995. Selected financial data for the predecessors for 1996 were derived from the audited combined financial statements of Eagle and Taylor for the period January 1, 1996 through August 29, 1996, and the audited combined financial statements of Mallyclad and Vyn-L for the period December 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996. (3) Selected financial data for the Company for 1996 and 1997 were derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the period from June 1996 (inception) through December 31, 1996, and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements include the operations of Mallyclad and Vyn-L from June 25, 1996, and the operations of Eagle and Taylor from August 29, 1996. The results of operations of Western and Thermetic are included in the Company's 1997 selected financial data from March 14, 1997 and July 18, 1997, respectively, their acquisition dates. The results of operations of Binnings, Danvid, American Glassmith and Modern are included in the Company's selected financial data from December 10, 1997, their acquisition date. (4) Selected financial data for Combined 1996 include the 1996 selected financial data of the Predecessors (note (2) above) and the 1996 selected financial data of the Company (notes (1) and (3) above) without giving effect to purchase accounting or the impact of financing and capitalization relating to the acquisitions of Eagle, Taylor, Mallyclad, Vyn-L and Forte. (5) Includes revolving line of credit at December 31, 1996. 19 3 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BACKGROUND In August 1996, Eagle and Taylor were acquired by ETC as the foundation for the consolidation of a series of acquisitions in the fenestration industry. In December 1996, ETC acquired and combined with FCEI, a publicly held company whose wholly owned subsidiary, Forte Inc., is a manufacturer of commercial aluminum windows. Subsequent to this transaction, the entity changed its name to American Architectural Products Corporation. ETC and Forte became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. AAPC has since acquired Western, Thermetic, Binnings, Danvid, American Glassmith and Modern. ETC was incorporated on June 19, 1996 and had no significant operations or assets until it acquired two companies, Eagle and Taylor, on August 29, 1996. The acquisitions of Eagle and Taylor was accounted for as a purchase, with the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed recorded at estimated fair market values and the results of the Eagle and Taylor operations included in ETC's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. ETC's ultimate controlling stockholder acquired 100% ownership of two other companies, Mallyclad and Vyn-L, on June 25, 1996. On December 18, 1996, Mallyclad and Vyn-L collectively were merged into ETC concurrently with the FCEI combination described below. The merger was accounted for at historic cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. The operating results of Mallyclad and Vyn-L from the date of its acquisition by ETC's ultimate controlling stockholder are included in the consolidated financial statements. Eagle, Taylor, Mallyclad and Vyn-L, are considered predecessors of ETC for financial reporting purposes. On March 14, 1997, AAPC acquired the stock of Western and on July 18, 1997, AAPC acquired the stock of Thermetic. The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, with the purchase prices allocated among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair market values, and the results of their operations were included in the consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition. On December 10, 1997, AAPC consummated the acquisitions of Binnings, Danvid, American Glassmith, and Modern. The Company financed these acquisitions with a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of $125,000,000 of 11 3/4% Senior Notes due 2007 (Notes). The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, with purchase prices allocated among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair market values. The results of their operations were included in the AAPC consolidated financial statements from the December 10, 1997 acquisition date. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The following table sets forth net sales and expenses in aggregate dollars and as a percentage of net sales for the Company and its predecessors -- Eagle, Taylor, Mallyclad and Vyn-L -- for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997. As a result of the acquisitions discussed above, and the related differences in cost bases of the assets and liabilities of the Company after the acquisitions and the cost bases of the Predecessors, the results of operations for the years presented are not comparable. Such lack of comparability is explained in the discussion below. The following financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements along with notes thereto of the Company, Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company, and Mallyclad Corporation and Vyn-L Corporation. 20 4 ================================================================================ 1995(1) 1996(2) 1997(3) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Dollars in thousands, except footnotes) Net Sales........................................... $76,955 100.0% $67,136 100.0% $94,252 100.0% Cost of Sales....................................... 71,164 92.5% 54,457 81.1% 74,304 78.9% ------------------------------------------------------------ Gross Profit...................................... 5,791 7.5% 12,679 18.9% 19,948 21.1% Selling, general & administrative expenses (4)...... 12,983 16.9% 11,500 17.1% 17,178 18.2% Restructuring charge................................ 840 1.1% 0 0.0% 0 0.0% ------------------------------------------------------------ Operating income (loss)...........................

Financial data for 1995 is that of the predecessors and were derived from the audited combined financial statements of Eagle and Taylor for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the audited combined financial statements of Mallyclad and Vyn-L for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995. Because the financial data of the predecessors is presented on cost bases different from that of the Company after the acquisitions, the financial data are not comparable to the 1996 and 1997 financial data (see notes (2) and (3) below) 2. Financial data presented for 1996 include the combination of financial data of the Company and its predecessors -- Eagle and Taylor, Mallyclad and Vyn-L. Financial data for the Company for 1996 were derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period from June 19, 1996 (inception) through December 31, 1996. These financial statements include the operations of Mallyclad and Vyn-L from June 25, 1996, and the operations of Eagle and Taylor from August 29, 1996. Financial data for Eagle and Taylor for 1996 were derived from the combined audited financial statements of Eagle and Taylor for the period from January 1, 1996 to August 29, 1996. Financial data for Mallyclad and Vyn-L for 1996 were derived from the audited combined financial statements of Mallyclad and Vyn-L for the period December 1, 1995 to June 25, 1996. Because the financial data for 1996 include data of the Company and its Predecessors, which are presented on different cost bases, such data are not comparable to the financial data for 1995 and 1997. 3. Financial data for 1997 were derived from the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1997. Because the financial data of the Company for 1997 are presented on different cost bases, such data are not comparable to the financial data for 1995 and 1996. 4. In addition to comparability issues relating to differences in asset and liability bases described in notes (1) through (3) above, other factors affect the comparability of the financial data from year to year. The former parent of Eagle and Taylor provided treasury functions and allocated various general and administrative expenses. Interest expense allocated by the former parent of Eagle and Taylor approximated $1.8 million in 1995 and $1.1 million for the eight months ended August 29, 1996 and was treated as contributed capital of Eagle and Taylor by the former parent. A management fee based on budgeted sales was charged by the former parent to Eagle and Taylor, approximating $1.3 million and $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the eight months ended August 29, 1996, respectively. Other expenses charged to Eagle and Taylor by the former parent that were specifically incurred for those companies for items such as general insurance, health insurance and workers compensation insurance approximated $3.6 million and $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, and the eight months ended August 29, 1996, respectively. Eagle and Taylor filed their tax returns on a consolidated basis with their former parent and all provisions for federal and state income taxes, including provisions for deferred taxes, were provided through intercompany accounts. Because these charges to Eagle and Taylor from their former parent may differ from such charges for those entities as part of the Company, comparison of 1995, 1996 and 1997 may not be meaningful. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of operations for the periods presented reflect a number of significant events or factors. In 1995, the operations at Taylor were restructured by eliminating non-core product lines and closing related manufacturing and distribution facilities (the "Taylor Restructuring"). The near term impact of these measures was a significant decrease in total sales and a nonrecurring restructuring charge; however, in recent periods these measures have produced an increase in gross margins at this operation. Gross profit from Taylor was negatively impacted by the introduction of an automated door line, which was installed in 1993. While attempting to reach targeted operational efficiencies, Taylor was required to run a dual line for manufacturing doors from 1993 until 1995, which adversely affected gross margin. Also, during the majority of the period for which results of operations are presented, Eagle and Taylor were being marketed for sale by their former parent. This had a negative effect on sales at both divisions since distributors and their customers were concerned about the future of these businesses. The sale of these facilities to the Company in August 1996 permitted the divisions to stabilize their long-standing relationships with customers by eliminating the uncertainty concerning the direction and strategy of these businesses. This resulted in increased sales at Eagle during 1996 and 1997. The future operations of the Company will depend on a number of factors, including the successful integration of the acquired companies to take advantage of their increased purchasing power, distribution capabilities and product lines; continued improvements in manufacturing processes, including greater vertical integration; establishment of company-wide management information systems; increased penetra- 21 5 tion of fast growing markets, both product (such as vinyl) and geographic; continued growth in the new home and repair/remodel markets; stability in raw material prices; continuation of key customer and distributor relationships; and other factors. COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 TO COMBINED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 Net Sales. Net Sales increased by $27.1 million, or 40.4%, to $94.2 million in 1997 as compared to $67.1 million in 1996. The increase was primarily the result of the acquisitions of Western, Thermetic, Binnings, Danvid, American Glassmith, and Modern. The acquisitions accounted for $13.1 million or 48.3% of the total increase in net sales. The remaining increase was primarily due to higher revenues at Eagle, which had an increase in net sales of $11.2 million. The increase in revenue was primarily a result of increased volumes generated by stabilized customer relationships, new customer additions and an improved product mix. Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from $54.5 million, or 81.1% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 1996, to $74.3 million or 78.9% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 1997. The $19.8 million or 36.3% increase in cost of sales is comprised of a $10.0 million increase resulting from the above listed acquisitions and $9.8 million due to overall volume increases. Gross Profit. Gross Profit for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $19.9 million, representing an increase of $7.3 million or 57.3%, from 1996. Gross profit attributable to the companies acquired during 1997 was $3.1 million or 42.5% of the overall increase. The remaining $4.2 million increase resulted primarily from Eagle's increase of $4.0 million, Taylor's increase of $2.0 million, partially offset by the negative margin of $1.0 million from the Company's contract commercial product line. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from 18.9% in 1996 to 21.1% in 1997 as a result of an increase in sales volumes relative to fixed costs. Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $5.7 million or 49.6% to $17.2 million in 1997 as compared to $11.5 million in 1996. SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales were 18.2% in 1997 compared to 17.1% in 1996. The increase between years was primarily the result of the inclusion of newly acquired companies of $2.6 million and additional administrative costs related to the addition of a corporate headquarters and corporate management of $2.4 million for the year. Operating Income. Operating income increased $1.6 million from an operating income of $1.2 million in 1996 to an operating income of $2.8 million for 1997. The increase is attributable to additional operating income of $0.5 million from acquired companies and the increase in gross profit from existing operations, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $3.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The $2.0 million increase is attributable to interest of $0.3 million from companies acquired in 1997, interest of $0.9 million on the Notes issued in December 1997 and interest on additional borrowings related to the operations and working capital of $0.8 million. The previous parent of Eagle and Taylor allocated interest expense to the entities during the eight months ended August 29, 1996 (predecessor period), and accordingly, interest is not comparable with the same period in 1996. Income Taxes. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.4 million at December 31, 1997 on a net loss before extraordinary items of $1.2 million, resulting in a tax benefit at an effective tax rate of 33.8%. Prior to their acquisitions, Eagle and Taylor were included in the consolidated return of their former parent, and accordingly, the provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1996 is not indicative of the amounts that would have been recorded on a separate basis and are not comparable. Extraordinary Loss. In 1997, the Company recorded an extraordinary item, loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million, net of related tax benefit of $0.3 million, relating to a prepayment penalty and deferred financing costs charged to expense on the retirement of existing debt with a portion of proceeds of the Notes. Net Loss. The Company's consolidated net loss increased to $1.3 million in 1997 as compared to $0.9 million in 1996. The factors cited above were responsible for the increase in the net loss. COMPARISON OF COMBINED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO COMBINED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 Net Sales. Net Sales decreased 12.9%, to $67.1 million, for 1996 as compared to $77.0 million for 1995. The decrease was primarily a result of the Taylor Restructuring. This was offset in part by nominal increases in net sales for the remaining operations as a result of increases in volume and pricing during the year. Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased from $71.2 million, or 92.5% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 1995, to $54.5 million, or 81.1% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 1996. The $16.7 million, or 23.5%, decrease in cost of sales is primarily due to the $15.5 million decrease in cost of sales at Taylor due to the Taylor Restructuring, which was substantially completed in 1995. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales reflects efficiencies gained from the Taylor Restructuring and production efficiencies arising from the increased use of automated manufacturing equipment at Taylor. 22 6 Gross Profit. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $12.7 million, representing an increase of $6.9 million, or 119.0%, from 1995. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from 7.5% in 1995 to 18.9% in 1996 due to margin improvements resulting from the Taylor Restructuring. In addition, lower depreciation for the period subsequent to the acquisition of Eagle and Taylor due to lower bases of assets, based on the allocation of purchase price, compared to the historical bases of assets prior to the acquisition, improved gross profit. Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 17.1% in 1996 compared to 16.9% in 1995. The percentage increase was due primarily to the decrease in revenues between years while SG&A expenses did not decline proportionately due to the fixed nature of certain expenditures in this category. Although SG&A as a percentage of sales increased, total SG&A expenses decreased by $1.5 million, or 11.5%, to $11.5 million in 1996. The Taylor Restructuring accounted for a $2.7 million reduction in SG&A expenses, which was partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses for Eagle of $1.1 million. Operating Income (Loss). Operating income, excluding the nonrecurring restructuring charges in 1995, increased by $8.4 million from the operating loss of $7.2 million in 1995. This is attributable to the improved operating profit resulting from the Taylor restructuring and the reduction in SG&A expenses. Interest Expense. Interest expense, as a percentage of sales, was 2.9% in 1996 compared to 2.3% in 1995. Interest expense increased by approximately $0.1 million, or 5.6%, to $1.9 million in 1996. The former parent of Eagle and Taylor provided cash management services to Eagle and Taylor and charged interest expense relating to the amounts payable to affiliates. This interest expense approximated $1.8 million in 1995 and $1.1 million for the eight months ended August 29, 1996. Interest expense for the combined year ended December 31, 1996 also includes approximately $0.8 million incurred by the Company during its ownership of Eagle and Taylor. Income Taxes. The Company has recorded a tax benefit of $0.3 million on a loss before taxes of $1.2 million for the combined year ended December 31, 1996. The benefit results from income tax expense recorded at an effective rate of 46% on income before taxes for the period under the Company's ownership and an income tax benefit recorded at an effective rate of 35% on losses before taxes of the Predecessors. The effective rate for the period under the Company's ownership was determined using the Company's operating results and the bases of its assets and liabilities adjusted for purchase accounting for the acquisitions, and differs from the statutory tax rates as a result of valuation allowance adjustment, non-deductible expenses and state taxes. Prior to the acquisitions, Eagle and Taylor were included in the consolidated income tax returns of their parent and recorded income taxes in their accounts at a prescribed effective rate. Accordingly, income taxes for the combined year ended December 31, 1996 are not indicative of the amounts that would have been recorded on a stand-alone basis and are not comparable to prior years. Net Loss. The Company's consolidated net loss decreased by $5.6 million, or 86.2%, to $0.9 million in 1996 compared to $6.5 million net loss incurred in 1995. The Company reported net income of $0.8 million for the period under its ownership. The factors cited above were responsible for the decrease in net loss of the Company. YEAR 2000 The Company is in the process of performing a comprehensive review of its computer systems to identify the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and is developing an implementation plan to resolve the issue. The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a major system failure or miscalculations. The Company presently believes that, with modifications to existing software and converting to new software, the Year 2000 problem will not pose significant operational problems for the Company's computer systems as so modified and converted. However, if such modifications and conversions are not completed timely, the Year 2000 problem may have a material impact on the operations of the Company. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the Company's principal sources of funds consisted of cash from operations and various financings. The Company financed acquisitions through secured senior debt facilities and subordinated debt. In December 1997, the Company issued $125,000,000 of 11.75% Senior Notes, due 2007, to extinguish existing debt, finance the acquisitions of Binnings, Danvid, American Glassmith and Modern and provide working capital, fund general corporate expenses and finance future acquisitions. Approximately $33.8 million of the net proceeds of the Notes were used to repay indebtedness under existing debt agreements, including prepayment penalties. The weighted average interest rate of the indebtedness repaid on December 10, 1997 was 9.7%. The Company used approximately $47.8 million of the net proceeds to pay the cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisitions consummated on December 10, 1997. 23 7 The Company's principal liquidity requirements are for debt service requirements under the Notes and for working capital needs and capital expenditures. The Company's annual debt service requirements, including capital lease obligations, will increase from $6.4 million in 1997 to $15.5 million based on outstanding obligations as of December 31, 1997. The Company is presently in negotiations to secure a revolving credit facility of $25 million to provide additional liquidity. The Company believes that cash generated from operations together with the expected proceeds from the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to permit the Company to meet its expected operating needs, planned capital expenditures and debt service requirements. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available from operations or under future revolving credit or other borrowing arrangements to meet the Company's cash needs. Future acquisitions may require additional financing and there can be no assurance that such funds would be available on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all. Furthermore, the Company is limited in obtaining future financing under the terms of the Notes. In addition, the Company's future operating performance and ability to meet its financial obligations will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which will be beyond the Company's control. Cash provided by operations was $2.6 million, $4.5 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in operating cash for 1997 over the prior years reflects increases in the Company's working capital accounts which primarily consisted of an increase in accounts receivable of $1.2 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $1.9 million, offset by a $1.2 million decrease in inventories. The Company's working capital requirements for inventory and accounts receivable are impacted by changes in raw material costs, the availability of raw materials, growth of the Company's business and seasonality. As a result, such requirements may fluctuate significantly. Capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 were $2.6 million, $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Capital outlays included manufacturing equipment and computer software and hardware. In addition, in 1996 the Company entered into a $1.6 million capital lease to purchase computer hardware and software. Management expects that its capital expenditure program will continue at a sufficient level to support the strategic and operating needs of the Company's operating subsidiaries. This level of expenditure may be higher than historical levels. Future capital expenditures are expected to be funded from internally generated funds, leasing programs and the Company's credit facilities. The Company made cash payments of $53.0 million relating to acquisitions in 1997. This compares to $12.8 million in 1996. In January 1998, the Company purchased all of the assets of the vinyl division of EASCO Aluminum Company, an Austintown, Ohio manufacturer of vinyl extrusions for the fenestration industry. The cash payment for this acquisition was $13.3 million. Also in January 1998, the Company purchased all of the assets of Blackhawk Architectural Products, a steel security door manufacturer for a cash payment of $400,000. In February 1998, the Company signed a Letter of Intent with Louisiana Pacific to purchase its Weather-Seal division. This division consists of six manufacturing facilities throughout Ohio producing aluminum and vinyl extrusions, and wood and vinyl windows. The Letter of Intent obligated the Company to make a $1 million deposit into an escrow account, which will be applied toward the purchase price. The deposit will be considered a termination fee payable to Louisiana Pacific in the event the transaction does not close because the Company abandons or otherwise fails to consummate the transaction unless because of discovery or occurrence of any material adverse condition. In March 1998, the Company sold its Mallyclad division to a related party for $1.2 million. Cash payments on long term debt were $23.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. Net activity on the Company's lines of credit resulted in cash outflows of $5.9 million in 1997. The Company generated proceeds of $125.0 million from the issuance of the Notes in December 1997. In addition the Company paid approximately $6.0 million in related fees and expenses associated with the debt financing. The Company expects to pursue additional financing opportunities to fund its growth strategy. The Company raised $425 thousand through the issuance of preferred stock during the second and third quarters of 1997. The funds were used for general corporate purposes during this time period. The Company believes that cash flow from operations, together with other sources of funds, will be adequate to meet its anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and debt service costs. SEASONALITY The Company's business is seasonal since its primary revenues are driven by residential construction. Inclement weather during the winter months, particularly in the northeast and midwest regions of the United States, usually reduces the level of building and remodeling activity in both the home improvement and new construction markets and, accordingly, has an adverse impact on the demand for fenestration products. Traditionally, the Company's lowest sales levels usually occur during the first and fourth 24 8 quarters. The Company believes that its 1997 acquisitions in the southwestern and southeastern United States will minimize the risk to the Company for potentially unusual inclement weather conditions in the midwest and the northeast. Because a high percentage of the Company's manufacturing overhead and operating expenses are relatively fixed throughout the year, operating income has historically been lower in quarters with lower sales. Working capital requirements and borrowings to satisfy working capital requirements, are usually at their highest level during the second and third quarters. CYCLICALITY Demand in the window and door manufacturing industry is influenced by new home construction activity and the demand for replacement products. Trends in the housing sector directly impact the financial performance of the Company. Accordingly, the strength of the U.S. economy, the age of existing home stock, job growth, consumer confidence, consumer credit, interest rates and migration of the inter/intra U.S. population have a direct impact on the Company. Any declines in new housing starts and/or demand for replacement products may adversely impact the Company and there can be no assurance that any such adverse effects would not be material. INFLATION AND RAW MATERIAL COSTS During the past several years, the rate of inflation has been relatively low and has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations. However, the Company purchases raw materials, such as aluminum, wood, vinyl and glass, that are subject to fluctuations in price that may not reflect the general rate of inflation, and are more closely tied to the supply of and demand for the particular commodity. Specifically, there have been periods of significant and rapid changes in aluminum prices, with a concurrent short-term impact on the Company's operating margins. In some cases, generally where the increases have been modest, the Company has been able to mitigate the effect of these price increases over the long-term by passing them on to customers. 25 9 AMERICAN ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PAGE ----- AMERICAN ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants........

F-7 16 AMERICAN ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION American Architectural Products Corporation (AAPC or the Company) is principally engaged in the business of manufacturing residential, commercial and architectural windows and doors through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Eagle & Taylor Company (formerly known as American Architectural Products, Inc. -- AAP), Forte, Inc. (Forte), Western Insulated Glass Co. (Western), Thermetic Glass, Inc. (Thermetic), Binnings Building Products, Inc. (Binnings), Danvid Window Company (Danvid), Modern Window Corporation (Modern) and American Glassmith Corporation (American Glassmith). AAP was incorporated on June 19, 1996 and had no significant operations or assets until it acquired Eagle Window and Door, Inc. (Eagle) and Taylor Building Products Company (Taylor) on August 29, 1996 (see Note 2). The accounts of Eagle and Taylor are included in the consolidated financial statements from the August 29, 1996 acquisition date. AAP subsequently changed its name to Eagle & Taylor Company. On June 25, 1996, AAP's ultimate controlling stockholder acquired ownership of Mallyclad Corp. (Mallyclad) and Vyn-L Corporation (Vyn-L). On December 18, 1996, Mallyclad and Vyn-L were merged into AAP. Based on the control maintained by this stockholder over AAP, Mallyclad and Vyn-L, the merger was considered to be a transaction among companies under common control and was accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the accounts of Mallyclad and Vyn-L are included in the consolidated financial statements from the June 25, 1996 acquisition date. Prior to December 18, 1996, Forte Computer Easy, Inc. (FCEI) had a single wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Forte, Inc. (Forte), based in Youngstown, Ohio. Forte manufactures large contract commercial aluminum windows and security screen windows and doors. On December 18, 1996, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated October 25, 1996 between FCEI and AAP Holdings, Inc. (the Agreement), FCEI acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of AAP in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of FCEI (the Series A Preferred). Under the terms of the Agreement and the Series A Preferred, AAP Holdings, Inc. obtained 60 percent of the voting control of FCEI. Although FCEI is the parent of AAP following the transaction, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of AAP and a purchase by AAP of FCEI because the stockholders of AAP obtained a majority of the voting rights in FCEI as a result of the transaction (see Note 2). The 1996 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AAP for the period from its inception (June 19, 1996), and the accounts of FCEI from December 18, 1996, the effective date of the acquisition. At a special stockholders' meeting held on April 1, 1997, FCEI stockholders approved the reincorporation of FCEI in Delaware. Consequences of the reincorporation plan included the change of FCEI's name to American Architectural Products Corporation; an increase in the authorized common stock of the Company to 100,000,000 shares; a 1 for 10 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock; the conversion of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred held by AAP Holdings, Inc. into 7,548,632 shares of common stock; and the issuance of 171,842 shares of common stock to an officer to satisfy a commitment of the Company. The reincorporation did not result in any substantive change to the Company's business, assets, liabilities, net worth or operations, nor did it result in any change in the ownership interest of any stockholder of the Company. The number of shares and per share amounts give retroactive recognition to the changes in capital structure for all periods presented. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AAPC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. F-8 17 AMERICAN ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, payables and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company, the carrying amounts of long-term debt approximate fair value. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company operates in two industry segments, the residential and specialty commercial window and door products segment and the large commercial contract window and door products segment (see Note 13). Revenues from the residential and specialty commercial products segment are recorded upon the shipment of product to the customer. Revenues from the large commercial contract segment are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting in the proportion that costs bear to total estimated costs at completion. Revisions of estimated costs or potential contract losses are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Costs in excess of billings, billings in excess of costs and retainages recorded were not material as of December 31, 1996 and 1997. CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these institutions and limits the amount of exposure with any institution. At December 31, 1997, deposits and highly liquid investments totalling approximately $38 million were on deposit at two financial institutions. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many geographic areas. However, the Company is principally engaged in the business of manufacturing residential, commercial and architectural windows and doors. Therefore, its customer base is concentrated in the construction business. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and improvements.................................. 20-25 Machinery and equipment..................................... 7-10 Computers and office equipment.............................. 3-7 Tools, dies and fixtures.................................... 3-7 Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred. LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. F-9 18 AMERICAN ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED) COST IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED Cost in excess of net assets acquired is being amortized over 25 years using the straight-line method. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the cost in excess of net assets acquired by allocating the cost in excess of net assets acquired to the assets being tested for recoverability and by comparing anticipated undiscounted future cash flows from operating activities with the carrying amounts of the related assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, business prospects, market trends, competitive activities and other economic factors. DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS Costs to obtain financing have been capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the underlying debt. WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS Certain of the Company's subsidiaries sell their products with limited warranties of two to 25 years. Accrued warranty obligations are estimated based on claims experience and levels of production. Warranty obligations estimated to be satisfied within one year are classified as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. INCOME TAXES The income tax provision is computed using the liability method. Deferred taxes are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. AAP filed its income tax return on a consolidated basis with its former parent company until December 18, 1996, the date of reorganization with FCEI. ADVERTISING The cost of advertising is charged against income as incurred. Advertising expense was $263,000 for the period from inception to December 31, 1996 and $948,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, respectively. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130), which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. SFAS 130 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires comparative information for earlier years to be restated. Additionally, in June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," (SFAS 131) which supersedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise." SFAS 131 establishes standards for the reporting by public companies of information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires comparative information for earlier years to be restated. In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" (SFAS 132), which revises employers' disclosures about pension and F-10 19 AMERICAN ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED) other postretirement benefit plans. SFAS 132 does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Management has not fully evaluated the impact, if any, these standards may have on future financial statement disclosures. Results of operations and financial position, however, will be unaffected by implementation of these standards. 2. RECAPITALIZATION AND ACQUISITIONS: RECAPITALIZATION AND ACQUISITION OF FCEI Effective December 18, 1996, FCEI acquired the stock of AAP in a reverse acquisition in which AAP's stockholders acquired voting control of FCEI. The acquisition was accomplished through an exchange of stock in which FCEI exchanged 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred and options to purchase 879,834 shares of FCEI common stock for 100% of the outstanding stock of AAP. Upon completing the transaction, the stockholders of AAP controlled 60% of the voting rights of the combined Company. For financial reporting purposes, AAP is deemed to be the acquiring entity. The merger has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as (a) the recapitalization of AAP (whereby the issued and outstanding stock of AAP was converted into 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred and options to purchase 879,834 shares of common stock -- see Note 9) and (b) the issuance of the securities discussed in the following paragraph by AAP in exchange for all of the outstanding equity securities of FCEI. In the merger, AAP is deemed to have issued 4,860,580 shares of common stock, committed itself to issue an additional 171,842 shares of common stock and to have issued 586,556 stock options to FCEI stockholders (see Note 9). The estimated fair value assigned to the securities issued was $3,003,000, which was determined based on the estimated fair value of the securities of AAP which were obtained by the FCEI stockholders in the reverse acquisition, an assessment of the trading prices of FCEI stock preceding the reverse acquisition, and the appraised value of the FCEI assets acquired. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the consideration of $3,100,000, including transaction costs, was allocated to the FCEI net assets acquired based on estimated fair values including current assets of $1,871,000, property and equipment of $7,516,000, long-term debt of $4,030,000 and current liabilities of $2,257,000.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on December 1, 2007. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 1998. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiaries and by each subsidiary acquired thereafter. Of the approximately $118.5 million in net proceeds received by the Company from the issuance of the Notes, approximately $47.8 million was used to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the Acquisitions (including the repayment of the assumed debt) and approximately $33.8 million was used to repay substantially all of the existing indebtedness of the Company. The remaining proceeds are intended to be used by the Company for additional acquisitions, working capital and general corporate purposes. Except as set forth below, the Company may not redeem the Notes prior to December 1, 2002. On or after December 1, 2002, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time, at redemption prices ranging from 105% of the principal amount in 2002 to 100% of the principal amount in 2005 and thereafter, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In addition, at any time prior to December 1, 2000, the Company may, subject to certain requirements, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the cash proceeds of one or more public equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 110% of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest. The provisions of the Notes limit the Company and its subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness unless the Company meets certain consolidated coverage ratios as defined in the Notes. Notwithstanding this restriction, the Company is permitted to incur secured indebtedness of $25 million. Other covenants of the Notes include, but are not limited to, limitations on restricted payments, as defined, such as payment of dividends, repurchase of the Company's capital stock, redemption of subordinated obligations, certain investments, in addition to limitations on sale/leaseback transactions, affiliate transactions and mergers or consolidations. The approximate maturities of long-term debt are as follows: 1998 -- $61,000; 1999 -- $54,000; 2000 -- $58,000; 2001 -- $2,000; 2002 -- $-0-; and thereafter - -$125,000,000.

LITIGATION At December 31, 1997, the Company is a defendant in several lawsuits. The Company may be liable in these matters to the extent that the lawsuits are found in favor of the plaintiffs and to the extent that these matters are not covered by the Company's insurance. In the opinion of management, such liabilities, if any, would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. 7. BENEFIT PLANS: All eligible nonunion employees of the Company participate in 401(k) plans which include provisions for Company matching contributions. Additionally, union employees at a subsidiary participate in a multiemployer pension plan into which that subsidiary contributes $0.22 per hour worked. Expenses incurred relating to these plans were $89,000 and $399,000 from inception to December 31, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1997. 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK The Series A Preferred is voting preferred stock and has the same number of votes as the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A Preferred would be convertible if converted in full on the record date. No dividends may be paid with respect to the common stock unless a dividend is paid to the holders of the Series A Preferred. Any dividends paid are required to be allocated pro rata among the holders of the common stock and Series A Preferred as though the Series A Preferred had been converted in full to common stock on the dividend payment date. The Series A Preferred has a liquidation preference over the common stock in the amount of $.10 per share. Any amounts remaining will be allocated to the common stock and Series A Preferred holders as if the Series A Preferred had been converted in full upon such liquidation. SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK In 1997, the Company received proceeds of $425,000 from the private placement of 4,250 shares of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series B Preferred). The Series B Preferred accrues cumulative dividends at the annual rate of $8.00 per share commencing July 1, 1998, payable either in cash or F-15 24 AMERICAN ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: (CONTINUED) common stock at the election of the Company. Each share of Series B Preferred is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of common stock. The redemption price of $100 per share of Series B Preferred plus any cumulative unpaid dividends can be used to purchase shares of common stock at market value. However, a discount from the quoted market price of common stock was applicable for holders exercising conversion rights prior to August 31, 1997 and the discounts are accounted for as dividends to the holders. As of December 31, 1997, all of the Series B preferred shares issued have been converted to common stock. The Series B Preferred is voting preferred stock and each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder to one vote. The Series B Preferred will be entitled to vote as a separate class with respect to all matters that would adversely affect the powers, preferences or rights of Series B Preferred Stock. STOCK WARRANTS In April and June 1997, the Company issued promissory notes with detachable stock warrants to accredited investors for proceeds totalling $450,000. The warrants, which expire in one year, grant the note holders the right to purchase 128,571 shares of the Company's common stock at $3.50 per share. The fair value attributable to these warrants has been recognized as additional paid in capital and the resulting discount was amortized over the term of the notes which ended in December 1997. Furthermore, in connection with an additional series of financing transactions, the Company issued warrants to purchase 27,926 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share, expiring on September 1, 1998. 9. STOCK OPTIONS: As part of the consideration paid in the acquisition of FCEI in December 1996, the Company is deemed to have issued to certain FCEI stockholders options to purchase an aggregate of 586,556 shares of the Company's common stock at prices ranging from $2.50 to $5.00 per share ("FCEI Options"). The FCEI Options were deemed to have been issued in exchange for previously outstanding options granted under the FCEI Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan. As part of the recapitalization of AAP that occurred in connection with the acquisition of FCEI (see Note 2), AAP Holdings, Inc. received options to purchase 879,834 shares of common stock of the Company ("AAPH Options"). The AAPH Options are equivalent to 1.5 times the number of shares of the Company's common stock subject to the 586,556 FCEI Options. The AAPH Options are identical in price and exercise terms to the FCEI Options and are exercisable only to the extent that the FCEI Options are exercised. At December 31, 1997, 471,770 FCEI Options and 707,655 AAPH Options remain outstanding. These exercisable options have an option price of $3.75 and expire in 1998. In 1996, the Company adopted the American Architectural Products Corporation Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") whereby 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock have been authorized for issuance under the Plan. Shares of common stock have been made available for grant to directors, officers, key employees and non-employees at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The exercise price of stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors equals the market price or 110% of the market price of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. The stock options issued to employees have a ten year term and vest in 20% increments over five years. Stock options issued to non-employee directors have a ten year term and vest within one year. Certain options have been granted to non-employees based on negotiated terms. Stock options issued to non-employees are recorded at fair value with a related charge against income. The Company applies the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock options issued to employees. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options issued to employees. The following table sets forth the Company's net income (loss) and net income (loss) available per common share on a pro forma basis F-16 25 AMERICAN ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 9. STOCK OPTIONS: (CONTINUED) had compensation expense for the Company's stock options issued to employees been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates: FROM DATE OF INCEPTION (JUNE 19, 1996) TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, 1996 1997 ---------------------- ----------------- NET INCOME (LOSS) As reported......................................... $ 761,000 $(1,259,000) Pro forma........................................... $ 761,000 $(1,329,000) BASIC NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE As reported......................................... $ .10 $ (.10) Pro forma........................................... $ .10 $ (.10) DILUTED NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE As reported......................................... $ .09 $ (.10) Pro forma........................................... $ .09 $ (.10) The fair value for the these stock options was estimated at the dates of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted -- average assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 6.5%, a dividend yield percentage of 0%, common stock volatility of .35 and an expected life of the options of 5 years. A summary of activity related to stock options for the Company's plan from the date of inception to December 31, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1997 is as follows. 1996 1997 ------------------- ------------------- WEIGHTED WEIGHTED AVERAGE AVERAGE EXERCISE EXERCISE OPTIONS PRICE OPTIONS PRICE ------- -------- ------- -------- Outstanding, beginning of the period................. -- $ -- 6,000 $4.69 Granted.............................................. 6,000 4.69 534,000 5.31 Exercised............................................ -- -- -- -- Forfeited............................................ -- -- -- -- ----- ----- ------- ----- Outstanding, end of the period....................... 6,000 $4.69 540,000 $5.30 ===== ===== ======= ===== The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 were $1.97 and $1.87, respectively.

INCOME TAXES: (CONTINUED) The actual income tax expense (income tax benefit) attributable to earnings (loss) for the period from inception to December 31, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1997 differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal tax rate of 34 percent to pretax earnings as a result of the following: 1996 1997 -------- --------- Tax at U.S. federal statutory rate.......................... $470,000 $(390,000) Expenses not deductible for tax purposes.................... 40,000 240,000 Valuation allowance adjustment.............................. 100,000 (240,000) State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit....... 40,000 -- Other.......................................................

Due to changes in ownership, utilization of approximately $14,300,000 of the net operating loss carryforwards is limited to approximately $550,000 per year. The remaining $1,300,000 may be utilized without limitation. 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS: The Company paid management fees to its majority stockholder of approximately $120,000 and $250,000 for the period from inception to December 31, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1997.

In 1997, the Company paid $450,000 to a Company affiliated with AAPH Holdings, Inc. for air charter services. 12. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE: Net income (loss) per common share amounts have been computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128). Basic net income (loss) per common share amounts were computed by dividing net income (loss) less preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per share amounts give effect to dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. A summary of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computations follow.

This division consists of six manufacturing facilities throughout Ohio producing aluminum and vinyl extrusions, and wood and vinyl windows. The Letter of Intent obligated the Company to make a $1 million deposit into an escrow account and which will be applied toward the purchase price. The deposit will be considered a termination fee payable to Louisiana Pacific in the event the transaction does not close because the Company abandons or otherwise fails to consummate the transaction unless because of the discovery or occurrence of any material or adverse condition. In March 1998, the Company sold its Mallyclad division to a related party for $1.2 million.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES: BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The combined financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company (the Companies). All material intercompany transactions, accounts and balances have been eliminated. Each Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MascoTech, Inc. Because of these relationships, the financial statements of the Companies have been prepared on a combined format as if they were a single entity. In addition, MascoTech, Inc. performed the Companies' treasury function, and allocated expenses for various services it provided (See Note 10). Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Eagle) are engaged in the manufacture of aluminum clad and all wood windows and doors. Eagle's primary market is the construction industry.

The Company markets garage doors under the Taylor Door brand name throughout the United States. PERVASIVENESS OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. EARNINGS PER SHARE: Historical earnings per share data has not been presented in the accompanying financial statements due to the subsequent acquisition of the two Companies by American Architectural Products, Inc. and its reverse merger with a public reporting company (See Note 13). ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: As of December 31, 1995 and August 29, 1996, allowances have been established for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable in the amounts of $445,418 and $791,521, respectively.

No provision or accrual has been made to provide for any potential future costs for abatement because, in management's opinion, they should not have a material adverse effect upon the combined financial position of the Companies. In connection with the sale of the Companies to American Architectural Products, Inc. (See Note 13), the former parent of the Companies agreed to bear certain abatement costs relating to this matter. Litigation: At December 31, 1995 and August 29, 1996, the Companies are a party to several lawsuits. The Companies believe that the lawsuits are without merit and intend to vigorously defend their position.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Mallyclad Corporation (Mallyclad) manufactures vinyl clad steel and aluminum cut to length sheets, primarily for the construction, appliance and automotive industries. Vyn-L Corporation (Vyn-L) is a steel and aluminum processor, performing shearing and forming functions for its customers. Mallyclad and Vyn-L ("the Companies") were under common control and because of these relationships, the financial statements of the Companies have been prepared on a combined basis as if they were a single entity. All material intercompany transactions, accounts and balances have been eliminated. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts of receivables, payables and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments consisting of money market funds. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost.

Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenues from sales and the corresponding receivables are recorded upon the shipment of product to the customer. INCOME TAXES The income tax provision is computed using the liability method. Deferred taxes are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of the Companies' assets and liabilities.
