                Reliant Building Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries
              Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements


1.  The  Company

Reliant  Building  Products,  Inc. (formerly Redman Building Products, Inc.) and
subsidiaries  (the  "Company")  are  primarily  engaged  in  the  manufacture of
aluminum  and  vinyl  or  nonwood,  framed  windows  primarily  for  the  new
construction,  repair  and remodel, national home center chains and manufactured
housing  markets.    The Company has manufacturing facilities in Texas, Georgia,
Tennessee,  Washington, New Jersey, Michigan, North Carolina and California, and
most  of  its  customers  are  located  throughout  the  United  States.

2.  Basis  of  Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been  prepared  in  accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim  financial  reporting,  the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.    Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and
footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted  accounting principles for complete
financial  statements.

The  balance  sheet  at  April  2,  1999  has  been  derived  from  the  audited
consolidated  financial  statements at that date but does not include all of the
information  and  footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for  complete  financial  statements.

The  accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes
should  be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes included in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  on  July  1,  1999. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments  (consisting  of  normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included.
The  results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative
of  the  results  of  operations  for  a  full  year.

All  significant  intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.    The  Company  utilizes a 52 or 53 week accounting period which
ends  on the Friday closest to March 31.  The quarters ended October 1, 1999 and
October  2,  1998  included  13  weeks.

The  preparation  of  financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.





3.  Intangible  Assets

Intangible  assets,  consisting of goodwill and other intangible assets, totaled
$123.6  million  at  October  1,  1999.    Goodwill  is  being  amortized  on  a
straight-line  basis  over  a  40-year  period.  Other intangible assets consist
primarily  of  a covenant not to compete and trademarks that are being amortized
over  five  years.

In the current period, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $4.8 million
to  reduce the carrying value of long-lived assets (including goodwill) to their
fair value. These long-lived assets are included in the North operating segment.
The  review  for  impairment  at this location was triggered by recent operating
cash flow losses and forecasted operating cash flows below those expected at the
time  the manufacturing facility was acquired.  The fair value of the long-lived
assets  was determined based upon management's estimate of future operating cash
flows.

The  Company's  ability to fully recover the carrying amount of goodwill through
undiscounted  cash  flows  assumes  that results of operations and cash flows in
future  periods  will  improve from their current levels.  In the event that the
market  or  general  economic  conditions  affecting  the  Company  worsen or if
management  is  unable to achieve its business objectives, additional impairment
of  goodwill  may  be  necessary.

5.  Segment  and  Related  Information

The  Company  currently  manages  its  business  by  operating  location and has
identified its reportable segments based primarily upon the geographic region of
the  operating  locations.    The  North  region  consists  of  three  window
manufacturing  facilities.    The  South  region  consists  of  five  window
manufacturing  facilities,  four  distribution  centers  and  two  extrusion
operations.    The  Other  segment  consists primarily of commercial windows and
specialty  glass operations, both of which were sold on July 1, 1999.  The North
and  South regions manufacture and distribute aluminum and vinyl windows for the
new  construction,  repair  and  remodel,  national  home  center  chain,  and
manufactured  housing  markets.    Transactions  between  operating segments are
either  at  cost  or    predetermined  mark-up  percentages.

7.  Long-term  Debt  Currently  Being  Renegotiated


On  September  9,  1999,  the  Company  began  discussions with its lenders (the
"Lenders")  under  the  Senior  Credit Facility dated as of January 28, 1998 (as
amended,  the  "Senior  Credit  Facility")  on  alternatives to amend the Senior
Credit  Facility  to  provide  an  increase  in  borrowing  availability.  These
discussions  were  the result of the Company's desire to continue its objectives
to  refocus  the  organization  into  one of the major suppliers of aluminum and
vinyl  windows.

Long-term  debt  currently  being  renegotiated  consists  of  the following (in
thousands):

                                        October 1, 1999
                                        ---------------
Senior  Credit  Facility:
  Term loan A                                $  38,667
  Term loan B                                   60,087
  Revolver                                      28,500
  Senior Subordinated Notes                     70,000
                                             ----------
 Total long-term debt being renegotiated       197,254
Less  current  portion:
  Long-term debt currently being renegotiated  189,837
  Current maturities of long-term debt           7,417
                                             ----------
                                              $      -

The  Company  has  reached  agreements  with the Lenders under the Senior Credit
Facility  and  with  holders  of  more  than  80%  of  the  principal  amount of
outstanding  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  due 2004 (the "Existing Notes") on the
principal  terms of a restructuring of the bank debt and the Existing Notes (the
"Restructuring").   In connection therewith, on October 1, 1999, the Lenders and
the  Company  executed  a  Second  Amendment and Waiver (the "Second Amendment")
pursuant  to  which  the  Lenders  waived,  for  a  limited time period, certain
financial  covenant non-compliance under the Senior Credit Facility.  The waiver
is  effective  through the earliest of (i) January 31, 2000, (ii) the expiration
of  the  Company's  agreement with the Bondholder Group (as hereinafter defined)
and  (iii)  December  31,  1999,  if the Company fails to meet certain financial
requirements  on that date.  The Second Amendment also provides for an amendment
of  financial  covenants  under  the  Senior Credit Facility and an $8.0 million
increase  to  the Revolver borrowing base that would be available incrementally,
if  used,  on  the  following  dates  (in  thousands):

                          March 31, 2000     $2,000
                          June 30, 2000       2,000
                          December 31, 2000   2,000
                          March 31, 2001        500
                          June 30, 2001         500
                          September 30, 2001    500
                          December 31, 2001     500

The  covenant  amendments  and borrowing base increase will not become effective
until  satisfaction  of  certain  conditions  set forth in the Second Amendment,
specifically  completion  by  the  Company of an exchange offer for the Existing
Notes  and  contribution by existing equity owners of the Company's parent, RBPI
Holding  Corporation,  of a $10 million investment in the Company in the form of
equity  or  subordinated  debt.

The  Company  has  reached an agreement in principle, documented in a Term Sheet
Agreement  dated  November 1, 1999 (the "Term Sheet"), with holders of more than
80%  of  the  principal amount of Existing Notes (the "Bondholder Group") on the
terms  of an exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer") pursuant to which the Company
will issue an equal principal amount of new notes (the "New Notes") for Existing
Notes validly tendered.  The New Notes will provide the Company with the option,
instead  of  paying interest in cash, to accrue interest payments until maturity
(at  rates  up to 100 basis points higher) for three years beginning November 1,
1999.    The  remaining terms of the New Notes will be substantially the same as
the  terms of the Existing Notes.  Consummation of the Exchange Offer is subject
to  execution  of  definitive  documentation and to a number of conditions.  The
Company's  obligation to accept Existing Notes for exchange is conditioned upon,
among  other  conditions,  receipt  of  tenders  from holders of at least 95% in
principal amount of Existing Notes (the "Tender Condition"), the new $10 million
investment by current equity owners, and effectiveness of the financial covenant
amendments  and  the Revolver borrowing base increase provided for by the Second
Amendment.    In  the  event  that the Tender Condition is not satisfied and the
other  conditions to the Exchange Offer are satisfied or waived, the Company may
elect  to  file  a  prepackaged  Chapter  11  plan  of reorganization containing
substantially  the  same terms as the Exchange Offer.  Members of the Bondholder
Group  have  agreed, subject to documentation, to vote in favor of a prepackaged
plan.

Because the conditions to effectiveness of the covenant amendments in the Second
Amendment  have  not yet been satisfied and the waiver contained therein expires
in  less  than  one  year,  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted accounting
principles  regarding  classification  of  debt,  the Company has classified its
indebtedness  under the Senior Credit Facility and the Existing Notes as current
debt.    As of October 1, 1999, the long-term debt payable, by its terms, within
one  year  is  $7.8  million  and the long-term debt that has been classified as
current,  due  to  the  Restructuring  not  yet having been completed, is $189.8
million.

The  Company  reasonably  expects that the Restructuring will be consummated by
January  31, 2000.  Upon completion of the Restructuring before the next balance
sheet  reporting  date  and  the Company's compliance with the amended financial
covenants  under  the  Senior  Credit Facility, that portion of the restructured
debt  that  is  not  due within one year will be reclassified as long-term debt.
The  Company  believes  that  the  completion  of  the Restructuring will enable
adequate  funds  to  be  available  to  meet the Company's cash requirements for
capital  expenditures,  working  capital  and  scheduled  principal and interest
payments.  The Company's ability to satisfy its future capital requirements will
depend  on  future  capital  expenditure  requirements  and the Company's future
financial  performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions and
competitive  and  other factors, including factors beyond the Company's control.
If  the  Restructuring  is  not  consummated,  the  Lenders  may  accelerate the
obligations  under  the  Senior Credit Facility and the Company may not have the
financial  resources  needed  to  make  such  payment.   In addition, failure to
complete the Restructuring could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial  position, results of operations and liquidity and could result in the
commencement  of  a  Chapter  11  reorganization case under the Bankruptcy Code.

ITEM  2.    MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  RESULTS  OF
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
               OPERATIONS  AND  FINANCIAL  CONDITION
               -------------------------------------

THE  COMPANY

Reliant  Building Products, Inc. (the "Company"), is one of the nation's largest
manufacturers  of aluminum and vinyl, or non-wood, framed windows. The Company's
products  are  marketed  under  well-recognized  brand  names  including ALENCO,
CARE-FREE,  ALPINE  WINDOWS, and BUILDERS VIEW. The products are marketed across
all  major price points.  As a result of the January 28, 1998 acquisition of all
the  capital  stock  of  Care-Free  Window Group ("Care-Free"), a privately held
vinyl  window  company,  the  Company  has  developed  a  significant  national
manufacturing  and  marketing  presence.   Window products include  single hung,
double-hung,  sliders  and  casements.  Door products include hinge doors, storm
doors  and patio doors.  All of these products are marketed primarily for use in
new  construction,  manufactured  housing,  repair  and  remodeling  and  the
do-it-yourself  market.

The  Company manufactures its products at eight facilities strategically located
throughout  the  U.S. within two geographic regions, North and South (See note 5
to  Company's  unaudited  consolidated financial statements for more information
regarding  its  operating  segments).    The  Company  distributes  its products
nationally  through wholesalers and dealers, direct sales to large national home
builders  (including  manufactured  housing),  independent contractors, national
home  centers  and  lumber  yards.    The  Company  also  operates Company owned
distribution  facilities  in  Phoenix,  Arizona;  Ontario, California; Metairie,
Louisiana  and  Dallas,  Texas.

The  Company  supplements its window business through the manufacture of related
products  such  as  custom  aluminum  extrusion and window components ("non-core
products")  for the Company's internal needs and for sale to third parties.  The
Company  believes  that its vertically integrated operations provide significant
manufacturing  flexibility,  a  reliable  supply  of  low-cost  components and a
reduction  in  working  capital  requirements.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Second Quarter Ended October 1, 1999 Compared to Second Quarter Ended October 2,
1998

Net  Sales.    Net sales decreased $9.5 million, or 12.2%, from $77.5 million in
the  quarter  ended  October  2,  1998 ("Prior Period") to $68.0 million for the
quarter ended October 1, 1999 ("Current Period").  Approximately $5.5 million of
the  decrease  in  net  sales results from the sale of the commercial window and
specialty glass operations of the Other segment on July 1, 1999.  Net sales were
also  impacted by the discontinuance of product lines sold to customers that are
not  the  strategic  focus of the Company and lower than expected sales of a new
product  line  intended  to  replace  existing lines.  Net sales were positively
impacted  by revenues generated from sales to a national home center chain under
an  exclusive  supply  contract  for  stores  in  Texas  and  Oklahoma.

Cost  of Products Sold.  Cost of products sold decreased $2.1 million from $56.6
million for the Prior Period to $54.5 million for the Current Period.  Expressed
as a percentage of net sales, cost of products sold increased from 73.0% for the
Prior Period to 80.2% for the Current Period.  This increase in cost of products
sold  as  a  percentage of net sales is primarily the result of charges recorded
for  the  write-down  and  disposal  of  raw  material used in the production of
discontinued  product  lines.  In addition, cost of products sold was negatively
impacted  by  manufacturing  inefficiencies  resulting  from the start-up of new
products.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses.    Selling,  general  and
administrative expenses were $16.4 million in the Prior Period and $16.7 million
for  the  Current  Period.  Included in the Current Period is approximately $0.2
million  of  severance  charges  for  a  former  officer  of  the  Company.

Goodwill Impairment.   The Company recorded an impairment charge of $4.8 million
to  reduce the carrying value of long-lived assets (including goodwill) to their
fair value. These long-lived assets are included in the North operating segment.
The  review  for  impairment  at this location was triggered by recent operating
cash flow losses and forecasted operating cash flows below those expected at the
time  the manufacturing facility was acquired.  The fair value of the long-lived
assets  was determined based upon management's estimate of future operating cash
flows.

The  Company's  ability to fully recover the carrying amount of goodwill through
undiscounted  cash  flows  assumes  that results of operations and cash flows in
future  periods  will  improve from their current levels.  In the event that the
market  or  general  economic  conditions  affecting  the  Company  worsen or if
management  is  unable to achieve its business objectives, additional impairment
of  goodwill  may  be  necessary.

Other Expenses, Net.   Other expenses, net for the Current Period consists of an
impairment charge of $0.5 million to reduce the carrying amount of an unutilized
building  and  land  that is held for sale to its estimated net realizable value
and  a  $0.2  million  loss recorded upon the sale of a trademark and associated
manufacturing  equipment  of  a  non-core  business.

Interest  Expense,  Net.    Interest  expense  increased  $0.4 million from $4.5
million  in  the  Prior  Period  to  $4.9  million for the Current Period.  This
increase  is  due  to  a  higher  debt  level  in  the  Current  Period.

Income  Tax  Expense.  The income tax expense of $0.4 million (State and Federal
combined)  is  comprised  of  $0.1  million  of  state  expense, $2.7 million of
potential  deferred  Federal  income  tax benefit, and $3.0 million of valuation
allowance  established against deferred tax assets.  The valuation allowance was
established  to  reduce  deferred  taxes,  primarily  net  operating  loss
carryforwards, to an amount where realization in future periods is considered to
be  more  likely  than not.  The allowance was determined based on the weight of
available  evidence  which consists primarily of taxable losses in recent years,
the types and amounts of existing temporary differences and the expiration dates
of  the  operating  loss  carryforward.

Six  Months  Ended  October 1, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended October 2, 1998

Net  Sales.  Net sales decreased $15.5 million, or 10.0%, from $156.4 million in
the six months ended October 2, 1998 ("Prior YTD Period") to $140.9  million for
the six months ended October 1, 1999 ("Current YTD Period").  Approximately $5.5
million of the decrease  in net sales results  from the  sale of  the commercial
window and specialty glass operations of the Other segment on July 1, 1999.  Net
sales  were  also impacted  by the  discontinuance  of  product  lines  sold  to
customers  that  are not the  strategic  focus of  the Company  and  lower  than
expected sales of a new product  line intended to replace  existing lines.  Also
impacting net sales were unrecovered sales resulting from weather related delays
in the housing  starts in the Northwest and  continued pricing pressures in  the
manufactured  housing market.   Net sales were  positively impacted  by revenues
generated from sales to a  national  home center chain under an exclusive supply
contract for stores in Texas and Oklahoma.

Cost of Products Sold.  Cost of products sold decreased $8.1 million from $117.1
million  for  the Prior YTD Period to $109.0 million for the Current YTD Period.
Expressed  as  a  percentage  of net sales, cost of products sold increased from
74.9%  for  the  Prior  YTD  Period  to  77.4%  for the Current YTD Period. This
increase  in cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales is primarily the
result  of charges recorded for the write-down and disposal of raw material used
in the production of discontinued product lines and manufacturing inefficiencies
resulting  from  the  start-up  of  new products.   In addition, the Company has
recorded  approximately  $0.8  million  in  connection  with the start-up of the
supply  contract  with  a  national  home  center  chain.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses.    Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  increased $1.3 million from $31.1 million in the Prior
YTD  Period  to  $32.4 million for the Current YTD Period.  This increase is due
primarily to increased expenses associated with the national marketing and sales
organization  and  incremental  costs related to the wind down of the businesses
sold  during  the  Current  YTD  Period.

Goodwill Impairment.   The Company recorded an impairment charge of $4.8 million
to  reduce the carrying value of long-lived assets (including goodwill) to their
fair value. These long-lived assets are included in the North operating segment.
The  review  for  impairment  at this location was triggered by recent operating
cash flow losses and forecasted operating cash flows below those expected at the
time  the manufacturing facility was acquired.  The fair value of the long-lived
assets  was determined based upon management's estimate of future operating cash
flows.

The  Company's  ability to fully recover the carrying amount of goodwill through
undiscounted  cash  flows  assumes  that results of operations and cash flows in
future  periods  will  improve from their current levels.  In the event that the
market  or  general  economic  conditions  affecting  the  Company  worsen or if
management  is  unable to achieve its business objectives, additional impairment
of  goodwill  may  be  necessary.

Other  Expenses,  Net.   Other expenses, net for the Current YTD Period consists
of  an  impairment  charge  of  $0.5 million to reduce the carrying amount of an
unutilized  building  and  land  that  is  held  for  sale  to its estimated net
realizable  value  and a $0.2 million loss recorded upon the sale of a trademark
and  associated  manufacturing equipment of a non-core business.  Also, included
in  other  expenses, net were losses in the first quarter related to the sale of
the  commercial  window  and  specialty  glass  operations.

Interest  Expense,  Net.    Interest  expense  increased  $0.7 million from $9.1
million  in  the  Prior  YTD  Period to $9.8 million for the Current YTD Period.
This  increase  is  due  to  a  higher  debt  level  in  the Current YTD Period.

Income  Tax  Expense.  The income tax benefit of $0.1 million (State and Federal
combined)  is  comprised  of  $0.2  million  of  state  expense, $3.3 million of
potential  deferred  Federal  income  tax benefit, and $3.0 million of valuation
allowance  established against deferred tax assets.  The valuation allowance was
established  to  reduce  deferred  taxes,  primarily  net  operating  loss
carryforwards, to an amount where realization in future periods is considered to
be  more  likely  than not.  The allowance was determined based on the weight of
available  evidence  which consists primarily of taxable losses in recent years,
the  types  and  amounts  of  existing  temporary  differences and the remaining
expiration  dates  of  the  operating  loss  carryforward.


LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

Net  cash  (used in)/provided by operating activities was $(6.8) million for the
Current  YTD  Period  and $0.7 million in the Prior YTD Period.  The decrease in
cash  provided  from  operating  activities is the result of comparatively lower
results  of  operations.

Capital  expenditures  for  the Current YTD Period were $5.9 million compared to
$3.2  million  for the Prior YTD Period.  Investing cash flows also includes the
proceeds from the sale of non-strategic assets at the commercial window facility
in  Bryan,  Texas  and  the  sale  of  the  specialty  glass  subsidiary.

Cash  flows provided by financing activities in the Current YTD Period were $9.0
million  compared  to  $2.9 million in the Prior YTD Period.  Current YTD Period
cash  provided  by  financing  activities  was  used  primarily  to fund capital
expenditures,  interest  payments  and  other  working  capital  requirements.

Interest  and  principal  payments  on  the Company's 10-7/8 Senior Subordinated
Notes due May 1, 2004 (the "Notes") and the credit agreement dated as of January
28, 1998 (the "Senior Credit Facility") represent significant obligations of the
Company.    The Notes require semi-annual interest payments in May and November.
The  Senior Credit Facility requires quarterly interest payments in April, July,
October, and January.  In fiscal year 2000, amounts outstanding under the Senior
Credit  Facility  will  require  principal payments of approximately $854,000 in
each  of  the  first  three quarters and $2.2 million in the fourth quarter.  In
addition  to  its  debt  service  obligations, the Company's remaining liquidity
demands relate to capital expenditures and working capital needs.  The Company's
working  capital  needs  are  seasonal,  and historically have peaked during the
second  and  third  fiscal  quarters.

The  Company's  primary  sources  of  liquidity  are  funds  from operations and
borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility.  The amount available as of October
28,  1999,  under the revolving line of credit (the "Revolver") is approximately
$2.2  million.    As  of  October  28, 1999, $30.9 million was borrowed and $2.8
million  in  letters of credit were outstanding under the Revolver.  Interest on
the  borrowings  under  the  Revolver, which is currently payable at 8.7%, is at
3.25%  over  the Eurodollar rate. The Revolver agreement expires on December 31,
2003.

On  September  9,  1999,  the  Company  began  discussions with its lenders (the
"Lenders")  under  the  Senior  Credit Facility dated as of January 28, 1998 (as
amended,  the  "Senior  Credit  Facility")  on  alternatives to amend the Senior
Credit  Facility  to  provide  an  increase  in  borrowing  availability.  These
discussions  were  the result of the Company's desire to continue its objectives
to  refocus  the  organization  into  one of the major suppliers of aluminum and
vinyl  windows.

The  Company  has  reached  agreements  with the Lenders under the Senior Credit
Facility  and  with  holders  of  more  than  80%  of  the  principal  amount of
outstanding  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  due 2004 (the "Existing Notes") on the
principal  terms of a restructuring of the bank debt and the Existing Notes (the
"Restructuring").   In connection therewith, on October 1, 1999, the Lenders and
the  Company  executed  a  Second  Amendment and Waiver (the "Second Amendment")
pursuant  to  which  the  Lenders  waived,  for  a  limited time period, certain
financial  covenant non-compliance under the Senior Credit Facility.  The waiver
is  effective  through the earliest of (i) January 31, 2000, (ii) the expiration
of  the  Company's  agreement with the Bondholder Group (as hereinafter defined)
and  (iii)  December  31,  1999,  if the Company fails to meet certain financial
requirements  on that date.  The Second Amendment also provides for an amendment
of  financial  covenants  under  the  Senior Credit Facility and an $8.0 million
increase  to  the Revolver borrowing base that would be available incrementally,
if  used,  on  the  following  dates  (in  thousands):

                          March 31, 2000        $2,000
                          June 30, 2000          2,000
                          December 31, 2000      2,000
                          March 31, 2001           500
                          June 30, 2001            500
                          September 30, 2001       500
                          December 31, 2001        500

The  covenant  amendments  and borrowing base increase will not become effective
until  satisfaction  of  certain  conditions  set forth in the Second Amendment,
specifically  completion  by  the  Company of an exchange offer for the Existing
Notes  and  contribution by existing equity owners of the Company's parent, RBPI
Holding  Corporation,  of a $10 million investment in the Company in the form of
equity  or  subordinated  debt.

The  Company  has  reached an agreement in principle, documented in a Term Sheet
Agreement  dated  November 1, 1999 (the "Term Sheet"), with holders of more than
80%  of  the  principal amount of Existing Notes (the "Bondholder Group") on the
terms  of an exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer") pursuant to which the Company
will issue an equal principal amount of new notes (the "New Notes") for Existing
Notes validly tendered.  The New Notes will provide the Company with the option,
instead  of  paying interest in cash, to accrue interest payments until maturity
(at  rates  up to 100 basis points higher) for three years beginning November 1,
1999.    The  remaining terms of the New Notes will be substantially the same as
the  terms of the Existing Notes.  Consummation of the Exchange Offer is subject
to  execution  of  definitive  documentation and to a number of conditions.  The
Company's  obligation to accept Existing Notes for exchange is conditioned upon,
among  other  conditions,  receipt  of  tenders  from holders of at least 95% in
principal amount of Existing Notes (the "Tender Condition"), the new $10 million
investment by current equity owners, and effectiveness of the financial covenant
amendments  and  the Revolver borrowing base increase provided for by the Second
Amendment.    In  the  event  that the Tender Condition is not satisfied and the
other  conditions to the Exchange Offer are satisfied or waived, the Company may
elect  to  file  a  prepackaged  Chapter  11  plan  of reorganization containing
substantially  the  same terms as the Exchange Offer.  Members of the Bondholder
Group  have  agreed, subject to documentation, to vote in favor of a prepackaged
plan.

Because the conditions to effectiveness of the covenant amendments in the Second
Amendment  have  not yet been satisfied and the waiver contained therein expires
in  less  than  one  year,  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted accounting
principles  regarding  classification  of  debt,  the Company has classified its
indebtedness  under the Senior Credit Facility and the Existing Notes as current
debt.    As of October 1, 1999, the long-term debt payable, by its terms, within
one  year  is  $7.8  million  and the long-term debt that has been classified as
current,  due  to  the  Restructuring  not  yet having been completed, is $189.8
million.

The  Company  reasonably  expects  that the Restructuring will be consummated by
January  31, 2000.  Upon completion of the Restructuring before the next balance
sheet  reporting  date  and  the Company's compliance with the amended financial
covenants  under  the  Senior  Credit Facility, that portion of the restructured
debt  that  is  not  due within one year will be reclassified as long-term debt.
The  Company  believes  that  the  completion  of  the Restructuring will enable
adequate  funds  to  be  available  to  meet the Company's cash requirements for
capital  expenditures,  working  capital  and  scheduled  principal and interest
payments.  The Company's ability to satisfy its future capital requirements will
depend  on  future  capital  expenditure  requirements  and the Company's future
financial  performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions and
competitive  and  other factors, including factors beyond the Company's control.
If  the  Restructuring  is  not  consummated,  the  Lenders  may  accelerate the
obligations  under  the  Senior Credit Facility and the Company may not have the
financial  resources  needed  to  make  such  payment.   In addition, failure to
complete the Restructuring could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial  position, results of operations and liquidity and could result in the
commencement  of  a  Chapter  11  reorganization case under the Bankruptcy Code.

(1) The  Company  defines  EBITDA  as  income  from  operations before
depreciation,    amortization  and  impairment  of  long-lived  assets including
goodwill.  The Company includes information concerning EBITDA because it is used
by  certain  investors  as  a  measure of the Company's ability to service debt.
EBITDA  should  not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income
or  cash  flows from operating activities presented in accordance with generally
accepted  accounting  principles or as a measure of a company's profitability or
liquidity.    In  addition,  EBITDA  measures presented may not be comparable to
other similarly titled measures of other companies.  The Current and Current YTD
Periods  include  charges  related  to  costs  to  position  the  Company  on  a
going-forward  basis for both manual and technical process improvements, charges
recorded  for the write-down of material for discontinued product lines, charges
in  connection  with  the  start-up  of the supply contract with a national home
center  chain  and  severance  charges  for  a  former  officer  of the Company.


YEAR  2000  COMPLIANCE

Many  existing  computer  software  and hardware programs were written using two
digits  rather than four to refer to the year.  These computer programs will not
properly  interpret  the  year  2000.    The  Company  has  established  an
enterprise-wide  program  (Year  2000  Plan) to prepare its computer systems and
applications  for  the  year  2000  and  is utilizing both internal and external
resources to identify, correct and test the systems for year 2000 compatibility.

The  Year  2000  Plan  is divided into the following three major components: (1)
Information  Systems;  (2)  Embedded  Controls;  and  (3)  Lifeline  Systems.
Information Systems includes all hardware, computer software and electronic data
interchange.  Embedded  Controls  includes all production equipment and facility
systems.  Lifeline  Systems  includes  utilities,  services  and  business
relationships,  including  vendors  and  suppliers.  The Year 2000 Plan is being
implemented  with  respect  to  each  of  these  components in the following six
general  phases:  (1)  inventory  the components discussed above; (2) assess the
impact of items determined not to be Year 2000 compatible; (3) assign priorities
to  identified  items;  (4) remediate or replace mission critical items that are
determined  not to be Year 2000 compatible; (5) test mission critical items; and
(6) design and implement contingency and business continuation plans for each of
the  Company's  locations.  The  Company  has  substantially  completed phases 1
through  4  for  each  of the three major components and is currently performing
phases  5  and  6.    The Company anticipates completion of the testing phase in
November  1999  and  completion  of the contingency plans by the end of November
1999.

To  date,  the  Company has incurred approximately $462,000 in Year 2000 related
expense. It is estimated that an additional $88,000 will be incurred in calendar
year  1999  to  complete  the  Year  2000  Plan.  Expenses  incurred to complete
remediation  of the Year 2000 Plan are not expected to have a material impact on
the  Company's  results  of  operations  or  financial  position.  However, this
assessment is dependent on the ability of third-party suppliers and others whose
systems failures potentially could have an impact on the Company's operations to
be  year 2000 compliant.  The Company expects to reduce its level of uncertainty
and  the  adverse  effect  that  any  such  failures  may have through continued
assessment  and  development  of  contingency  plans  throughout  calendar  1999
depending  on  circumstances  encountered  during  the  remainder  of  the year.


NEW  ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS

The  Company is assessing the reporting and disclosure requirements of Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments  and  Hedging Activities.  This statement establishes accounting and
reporting  standards  for  derivative  instruments and hedging activities.  This
statement  requires  that  all  derivatives  be  recognized  as either assets or
liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value.  The accounting for
changes  in  fair value of a derivative (that is, gains and losses) depends upon
the  intended  use  of  the derivative and resulting designation.  The statement
amends  and  supercedes  a number of existing Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards,  and  nullifies  or modifies a number of the consensus reached by the
Emerging  Issues  Task  Force.    This  statement  is  effective  for  financial
statements  for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.  The Company has not
yet  determined  the  impact  of  adopting  SFAS No. 133.  The Company currently
intends  to  adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of fiscal
year  2002.


FORWARD  LOOKING  STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  All these forward-looking
statements  are  based  on  estimates  and assumptions made by management of the
Company  which,  although  believed  to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain.
Therefore,  undue  reliance  should  not  be  placed  upon  such  estimates  and
statements.   No assurance can be given that any of such estimates or statements
will  be  realized  and  actual  results  may  differ  materially  from  those
contemplated  by  such  forward-looking statements.  Factors that may cause such
differences include: (i) increased competition; (ii) increased costs; (iii) loss
or  retirement  of  key  members of management; (iv) changes in general economic
conditions  in  the  markets in which the Company may from time to time compete;
(v)  effect  of  discussions  of  changes  to the covenants in the Senior Credit
Facility  and the Exchange Offer for the Existing Notes; (vi) and changes in the
number  of housing starts in these markets.  Many of such factors will be beyond
the  control  of  the  Company  and  its  management.
