NCI BUILDING SYSTEMS, INC. (Registrant) By: /s/ Robert J. Medlock ---------------------------------------- Robert J. Medlock, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Dated: August 20, 1998 2 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors and Shareholders NCI Building Systems, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NCI Building Systems, Inc. as of October 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of NCI Building Systems, Inc. at October 31, 1997 and 1996 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

F-5 NCI BUILDING SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION PRESENTED FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 AND 1998 IS UNAUDITED) (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) REPORTING ENTITY These financial statements include the operations and activities of NCI Building Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Company) after the elimination of all material intercompany accounts and balances. The Company designs, manufactures and markets metal building systems and components for commercial, industrial, agricultural and community service use. The Company recognizes revenues as jobs are shipped. (b) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company reports accounts receivable net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,662, $1,629 and $1,498 at April 30, 1998, October 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Trade accounts receivable are the result of sales of buildings and components to customers throughout the United States and affiliated territories including international builders who resell to end users. Although the Company's sales historically have been concentrated in Texas and surrounding states, in recent years it has been expanding its authorized builder organization and customer base into the midwestern states and, to a lesser extent, into south central, southeastern and coastal states. All sales are denominated in United States dollars. Credit sales do not normally require a pledge of collateral; however, various types of liens may be filed to enhance the collection process. Company management is not aware of any significant concentrations of credit or market risks related to receivables or other financial instruments reported in these financial statements. (c) INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, using specific identification for steel coils and the weighted-average method for other raw materials. A summary of inventories follows (in thousands): OCTOBER 31, -------------------- APRIL 30, 1996 1997 1998 --------- --------- ----------- (UNAUDITED) Raw materials.............................................. $ 21,515 $ 28,943 $ 31,898 Work-in-process and finished goods......................... 7,178 8,438 8,827 --------- --------- ----------- $ 28,693 $ 37,381 $ 40,725 --------- --------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------- (d) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and both straight-line and accelerated methods for income tax purposes.

Total interest paid for the six months ended April 30, 1998 and the years ended October 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 was $84, $56, $108 and $163, respectively. Income taxes paid for the six months ended April 30, 1998 and the years ended October 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 was $9,277, $11,033, $12,763 and $15,776 respectively. Non-cash investing or financing activities included: $1,518 for the 1996 contribution for the 401k plan which was paid in common stock in 1997, and $1,009 for the 1995 contribution for the 401k plan which was paid in common stock in 1996. (f) EXCESS OF COST OVER FAIR VALUE OF ACQUIRED NET ASSETS Excess of cost over fair value of acquired net assets is amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteen years. Accumulated amortization as of April 30, 1998 was $3,753, as of October 31, 1997 was $3,042 and as of October 31, 1996 was $1,441. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed if the facts and circumstances suggest that it may be impaired. If this review indicates that goodwill will not be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted cash flows of the entity acquired over the remaining amortization period, the Company's carrying value of the goodwill would be reduced by the estimated shortfall of cash flows. F-7 NCI BUILDING SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION PRESENTED FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 AND 1998 IS UNAUDITED) (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (g) 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 those estimates. (h) ADVERTISING COSTS Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $587, $1,196, $1,267 and $1,416 for the six months ended April 30, 1998 and for the years ended October 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. (i) LONG-LIVED ASSETS In fiscal 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF. Impairment losses are recognized when indicators of impairment are present and the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the assets carrying amount. Assets held for disposal are measured at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value, less costs to sell. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 121 was not material to the financial statements. (j) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, which encourages companies to apply a new fair value approach allowing the recognition of compensation cost related to stock options using an option pricing model. Under Statement No. 123, companies are permitted to continue using current accounting rules for employee stock options, but are required to disclose pro forma net income and earnings per share information as if the new fair value approach had been adopted. The Company has elected to continue to use the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. The pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share, as required by Statement No. 123, has been disclosed as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. (k) PENDING ACCOUNTING CHANGES In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The impact of Statement No. 128 on the calculation of earnings per share is not expected to be material. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION, which is effective for the Company's fiscal year ending October 31, 1999. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements. F-8 NCI BUILDING SYSTEMS, INC.

F-9 NCI BUILDING SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION PRESENTED FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 AND 1998 IS UNAUDITED) (3) LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED) Under the most restrictive of these covenants, such dividends or stock repurchases are limited to 20% of the Company's net income for any 12-month period, which is further restricted on a quarterly basis, based on the ratio of cash flow (net income plus depreciation and amortization) for the previous 12-month period to current maturities of long-term debt plus dividends and stock repurchases. The carrying amount of the Company's long-term debt approximates its fair value. (4) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the six months ended April 30, 1998 and in the years ended October 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the Company purchased $829, $1,053, $1,417 and $1,869 respectively, of materials from a related party under arm's length transactions. (5) INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Taxes on income from continuing operations consist of the following (in thousands): SIX MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, APRIL 30, ------------------------------- -------------------- 1995 1996 1997 1997 1998 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Current: Federal................................ $ 9,733 $ 14,531 $ 15,479 $ 5,744 $ 6,617 State.................................. 760 1,368 441 229 224 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Total current............................ 10,493 15,899 15,920 5,973 6,841 Deferred: Federal................................

(211) (6.34) ----- ------------- Balance, October 31, 1997........................................... 1,709 $ 8.93 ----- ------------- ----- ------------- Options exercisable at October 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997 were 1,095, 783, and 841, respectively. The weighted average exercise prices for options exercisable at October 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 were $1.88, $3.00 and $4.60, respectively. Exercise prices for options outstanding at October 31, 1997 range from $.80 to $18.62. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at October 31, 1997 is 6.3 years. In accordance with the terms of APB No. 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, the Company records no compensation expense for its stock option awards. As required by SFAS No. 123, the Company provides the following disclosure of hypothetical values for these awards. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during 1996 was $6.05 and during 1997 was $7.33. These values were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend of 0%, expected volatility of 32.7%, risk free interest rates ranging from 5.5% to 6.7% for 1996 and from 6.4% to 6.9% for 1997, and expected lives of 7 years. Had compensation expense been recorded based on these hypothetical values, the Company's 1997 net income would have been $27.1 million or $1.59 per share. A similar computation for 1996 would have resulted in net income of $24.4 million, or $1.48 per share. Because options vest over several years and additional options grants are expected, the effects of these hypothetical calculations are not likely to be representative of similar future calculations. (8) LITIGATION The Company is involved in certain litigation that the Company considers to be in the normal course of business. Management of the Company believes that such litigation will not result in any material losses. F-12 NCI BUILDING SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION PRESENTED FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 AND 1998 IS UNAUDITED) (9) NET INCOME PER SHARE In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the new statement, the dilutive effect of stock options is excluded from basic earnings per share, but included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The new statement is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted the new statement during the first quarter of fiscal year 1998. Earnings per share amounts for all periods presented have been restated. The computations are as follows (in thousands, except per share data): SIX MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, APRIL 30, 1998 ------------------------------- -------------------- 1995 1996 1997 1997 1998 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- (UNAUDITED) Net income...................................... $ 17,032 $ 24,814 $ 27,887 $ 10,334 $ 12,448 Add: Interest, net of tax on convertible debentures assumed converted.................. -- 38 66 34 34 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Adjusted net income............................. $ 17,032 $ 24,852 $ 27,953 $ 10,368 $ 12,482 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Weighted average common shares outstanding...... 12,545 15,499 16,127 15,970 16,390 Add: Common stock equivalents Stock option plan............................. 985 898 858 966 896 Convertible debentures........................ -- 58 100 100 100 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution............................. 13,530 16,455 17,085 17,036 17,386 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Net income per share--basic..................... $ 1.36 $ 1.60 $ 1.73 $ .65 $ .76 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Net income per share--diluted................... $ 1.26 $ 1.51 $ 1.64 $ .61 $ .72 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- (10) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan (the "Savings Plan") which covers all eligible employees. The Savings Plan requires the Company to match employee contributions up to a certain percentage of a participant's salary. No other contributions may be made to the Savings Plan. Contributions accrued for the Savings Plan for the years ended October 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 were $775, $1,155 and $1,604 respectively. (11) ACQUISITIONS In November 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Doors and Building Components, Inc. ("DBCI"), a manufacturer of roll-up steel overhead doors used primarily in self-storage and commercial/industrial applications, for approximately $12 million in cash and 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company, valued at $5.2 million. Based on the final determination of book value of the purchased assets, the price was reduced by approximately $2.5 million of which $1.5 million is due from the seller and was recorded as a receivable in the October 31, 1996 balance sheet. This amount was settled in cash in December, 1996. The excess of cost over fair value of the acquired net assets recorded was $11.4 million. F-13 NCI BUILDING SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION PRESENTED FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 AND 1998 IS UNAUDITED) (11) ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) In April, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Mesco Metal Buildings, a division of Anderson Industries, Inc. ("Mesco"), a manufacturer of metal building systems and components, for approximately $20.8 million in cash and a $1.5 million 7% convertible subordinated debenture due April, 2001. The excess of cost over fair value of the acquired net assets recorded was $10.9 million. Accordingly, the consolidated results of operations include DBCI and Mesco since the date of acquisition. Both acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method. Assuming the acquisition of DBCI and Mesco had been consummated as of November 1, 1995, the pro forma unaudited results of operations for the year ended October 31, 1996 are as follows (in millions, except per share data): Sales................................................. $ 347 Net income............................................ 26 Net income per share.................................. $ 1.60 F-14 INDEX TO EXHIBITS 23 Consent of Ernst & Young LLP
