PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Eagle Pacific Industries, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, manufactures
and distributes polyvinyl chloride ("PVC") pipe and fittings, and polyethylene
("PE") pipe and tubing products used for potable water and sewage transmission,
turf and agricultural irrigation, natural gas transmission, water wells, fiber
optic lines, electronic and telephone lines, and commercial and industrial
plumbing. We distribute our products primarily west of the Ohio and Mississippi
Rivers, including Hawaii, Alaska and selected foreign countries.

Our executive offices are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the
operating headquarters are in Eugene, Oregon. We have production facilities in
Hastings, Nebraska; Eugene and Hillsboro, Oregon; Tacoma and Sunnyside,
Washington; Cameron Park, Visalia and Perris, California; and West Jordan, Utah.
We also have a distribution facility in Baker City, Oregon.

Recent Developments

Effective September 16, 1999, we acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of Pacific Western Extruded Plastics Company ("PWPipe"), a
manufacturer of PVC pipe and fittings and merged PWPipe into us. PWPipe operated
six manufacturing facilities located in Tacoma and Sunnyside, Washington;
Eugene, Oregon and Cameron Park, Perris and Visalia, California, from its
operating headquarters in Eugene, Oregon. We paid approximately $73.8 million,
including transaction costs. The acquisition was financed in connection with our
recapitalization which included the retirement of $10.0 million of outstanding
8% convertible preferred stock, the amendment of our outstanding Senior Credit
Facility and the issuance of an aggregate of $32.5 million of senior
subordinated notes and detachable stock purchase warrants.

Products

Our products consist of 1/2-inch to 24-inch PVC pipe and 1/2-inch to
6-inch PE pipe and tubing for applications in the building, municipal water
distribution, municipal sewage collection, irrigation, natural gas, fiber optic,
power distribution and telecommunications industries. We believe we have created
brand name recognition for many of our products by offering quality PVC and PE
pipe and providing customer service that extends well beyond the initial sale.
We look for new niche markets, and, when appropriate, produce products having
special features for our customers.

Plastic Pipe

Plastic is a widely accepted piping material. A number of factors have
contributed to its popularity including low cost, easy installation, lower
weight and freedom from corrosion when compared to pipe made of competitive
materials. As a result, PVC and PE pipe are replacing ductile iron, cast iron,
aluminum, copper, clay and concrete in many applications. Below are descriptions
of our primary PVC and PE pipe products and their applications.

A major use of PVC and PE pipe is transporting water under pressure. We
manufacture and distribute many pressure pipe products for the transporting of
drinking and irrigation water:




American Water Works Association (AWWA) Water Main Pipe. We offer this
product in diameters of 4" to 24". During the manufacturing process each piece
of this AWWA pipe is filled with water and proof tested. This pipe is also used
in fire protection and carries the listing of Factory Mutual and Underwriter's
Laboratory (UL).

AWWA Service Connection Pipe. We offer this product in diameters of
1/2" to 2". A completely corrosion free system is in place when this
polyethylene service line is connected from a home to a PVC water main. This
product is in compliance with the ANSI/National Sanitation Foundation (NSF)
Standard 61 - Health Effects to assure delivery of clean, safe water.

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) PVC Pressure Pipe.
Manufactured in diameters of 1/2" to 24" in a series of pressure ratings from 63
pounds to 315 pounds, this product delivers the water to grow crops and beautify
parks, golf courses and homes.

Belled & Gasketed PVC Pipe. All water main pipes and many ASTM pressure
pipes are sold with rubber sealing gaskets in place to facilitate installation.
This factor, in addition to the light weight of PVC pipe, allows contractors to
lay more feet of pipe per day than with competitive materials.

ASTM PE Pressure Pipe. We offer a broad product line, which assures the
customer the product of choice for its specific application. Polyethylene
pressure pipes are manufactured from high quality PE 2406 and PE 3408 for
irrigation. To complete the system, sprinkler pipe and drip tube is manufactured
using a linear low-density PE resin.

ASTM PVC Well Casing. We offer a lightweight PVC pipe to be used as
casing in water wells. Like the majority of our pressure pipes, well casing is
in compliance with ANSI/NSF Standard 61 - Health Effects. As a companion to its
well casing pipe, we also offer a threaded drop pipe for hanging submersible
pumps. These heavy-duty pipes are made from Schedule 80 PVC and weigh
approximately one-seventh of an equivalent metal pipe.

ASTM PE Pipes for Special Applications. Polyethylene's unique
properties produce valuable products for applications in mining, chemical
transport and closed-loop ground coupled heat pump systems. We believe our Eagle
Pure-Core Blue(R) and Eagle Geo-Flo(R) are recognized leaders in the
marketplace. We also produces Eagle Tri-Stripe(R) for natural gas distribution
in diameters from 1/2" to 6".

For many of the same reasons that plastic pipes are the materials of
choice for pressure piping systems, PVC and PE pipes are used in non-pressure
applications. We service homes and industry through the production of
non-pressure pipes to carry sewage, electrical power, fiber optics and
telecommunications.

ASTM Drain, Waste and Vent (DWV) Pipe. This PVC DWV pipe is used inside
the home to drain wastewater and vent the plumbing system. We manufacture this
product up to 6" in diameter from either a solid wall construction, or a
construction that layers solid walls around a cellular core. This ASTM coex
cellular core pipe is very tough while having a lighter weight.




ASTM Gravity PVC Sewer Pipe. Sewer pipe is used to transport wastewater
from our buildings to the treatment plant. Manufactured in diameters from 4"
through 24", our products are found leaving the home and entering the collection
system of the sewage treatment plant. We believe our belled and gasketed pipe is
the most popular product in the nation for this purpose.

ASTM PVC Pipe with Recycle Content. We sponsored an ASTM Standard,
which specifies a three-layer construction having the center layer made of
recycled PVC. This pipe is sold as drainpipe, gravity sewer pipe, and for
removing methane gas from landfills.

Underwriter's Laboratory Electrical Conduit. We manufacture a complete
line, 1/2" through 6", of PVC heavy wall electrical conduit and fabricated
fittings. The entire product line carries the UL mark and conforms to National
Electrical Manufacturers Association Standards. This pipe carries electrical
wiring below and above ground.

ASTM Utility Duct. Our PVC utility duct is used to carry power lines
underground and house fiber optic and telephone communication lines.

Fiber Optic Pipe. The ever-expanding fiber optic market demands both
long and short distance runs of glass fiber bundles. We manufacture coiled PE
duct pipe, 2" through 6", in lengths up to 5,000 feet. The pipe is color-coded
and available with various features including a form that can be plowed directly
into the ground. To complete the system, fiber optic pipe with the same
color-codes as PE is offered in PVC.

Marketing and Customers

We market our products through a combination of independent sales
representatives, company salespersons, and inside sales/customer service
representatives. All sales representatives are primarily assigned to product
lines and geographic territories. Our primary geographic market extends west of
the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and includes Hawaii, Alaska and a minimum of
shipments to selected foreign countries.

Our marketing strategy focuses on providing high quality products and
services which include a broad array of PVC pipe and fittings and PE pipe and
tubing products. We believe that both PWPipe and Eagle brand products enjoy wide
acceptance and recognition.

We offer a wide variety of warranty programs on our products. These
warranties cover failures in pipe or tubing due to defects in material or
workmanship. Generally, warranties are for one year. We maintain product
liability insurance to cover such warranty claims, and to date, warranty
reserves have been sufficient to cover warranty claims.

Our customers consist primarily of wholesalers and distributors. We
have a broad and diverse group of customers. No customer accounted for more than
4% of total net sales in 1999, and 10% of sales in 1998 or 1997.




Competition

The plastic pipe industry is highly fragmented and competitive, due to
the large number of producers, small number of raw material suppliers, and the
commodity nature of the industry. According to industry sources, the plastic
pipe market is approximately $4.6 billion in annual sales. We believe we are the
largest extruder of plastic pipe in the western United States and the second
largest in the country. Because of shipping costs, competition is usually
regional, instead of national, in scope. We compete not only against other
plastic pipe manufacturers, but also ductile iron, steel, concrete and clay pipe
producers. Finally, although we believe we have lessened the commodity nature of
our business through our brand name pipe products, pricing pressure will
continue to effect our operating margins in the future.

Manufacturing and Supply Sources

All of our manufacturing is performed at our facilities in Hastings,
Nebraska; Eugene and Hillsboro, Oregon; Tacoma and Sunnyside, Washington;
Cameron Park, Visalia and Perris, California and West Jordan, Utah. We strive to
use high quality raw materials, as well as manufacturing techniques and
machinery that incorporate many of the newest extrusion technologies.

All nine of our manufacturing facilities have compound centers where
the PVC resin is precisely mixed with various waxes, colorants, UV protectants
and lubricants to create the appropriate compound resin for each extrusion
application. We purchase PE material in compounded form, ready for direct use in
the extruder. Compounded PVC resin and PE resin are automatically transported
from storage silos to the extrusion equipment by a vacuum feeding system.

Extrusion is a common manufacturing process used in the production of
plastic products. During production, PVC compound or PE is placed in an
extrusion machine, where the PVC or PE material is heated into a plastic state
and pulled through a sizing apparatus to produce pipe or tubing of the desired
diameter. The newly extruded pipe or tubing is moved through a water cooling
trough, marked to indicate the identity of the pipe or tubing and cut to length.
Multiple warehousing and outdoor storage facilities are used to store finished
product. Inventory is shipped from storage to customers by common carrier or by
our vehicles.

At each phase of the manufacturing process, we strive to pay great
attention to quality and production of a consistent product. Every PVC and PE
product is thoroughly examined for compliance with consensus standards, such as
American Society for Testing Materials, American Water Works Association and
Underwriter's Laboratory. We have a quality assurance program, which has its own
testing lab for both resin and finished goods.

We acquire our PVC and PE resins in bulk, mainly by rail car, from
various sources. During the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
purchases of raw materials from two vendors totaled 79%, 54% and 64% of total
material purchases, respectively. We strive to maintain strong relationships
with our key raw material vendors to ensure the quality and availability of raw
material. We believe our relationships with our key raw material vendors is
good.

Business Seasonality

Due to general weather constraints in the geographic markets in which
we operate, the demand for our products tends to be seasonal, and we experience
fluctuations in sales, accounts receivable and inventory levels during the year.



Backlog

We strive to keep delivery lead times to a minimum in order to meet
customer requirements. Our backlog on February 24, 2000, was approximately
$15,900,000 of plastic pipe compared to $5,400,000 on February 26, 1999.

Employees

We currently have 835 employees, 67 of which are in administration, 42
in sales and shipping and 726 in manufacturing. None of our employees are
represented by a labor union, and we have never experienced any work stoppages.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our executive offices are located in leased office space in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. The operating headquarters are located in Eugene, Oregon
in an office building owned by us. Our manufacturing and warehouse facilities
are located in Hastings, Nebraska; Hillsboro, Eugene and Baker City, Oregon;
West Jordan, Utah; Tacoma and Sunnyside, Washington; and Cameron Park, Visalia
and Perris, California. We both own and lease portions of our facilities in
Hastings, Nebraska, and lease our manufacturing plant in Eugene, Oregon. We own
the facilities in Hillsboro and Baker City, Oregon; West Jordan, Utah; Tacoma
and Sunnyside, Washington; and Cameron Park, Visalia and Perris, California.

We believe that the production capacity of our facilities is sufficient
to meet our current and future needs. The manufacturing facilities, as currently
equipped, are operating at approximately 95% of capacity.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On July 21, 1999, Lamson & Sessions Co. filed a complaint against us in
United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division
to recover alleged damages incurred by Lamson in connection with the termination
of our proposed acquisition of Lamson's PVC pipe business. As set forth in the
complaint, Lamson is seeking nearly $1 million in fees and expenses, plus an
undetermined amount of damages. We have denied all of Lamson's claims. Although
this matter is at an early stage, we believe that the outcome of this litigation
will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position and future
results of operations.

We are also from time to time a party to various other claims and
matters of litigation incidental to our normal course of business. We believe
that final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse affect
on us or our financial position and future results of operations.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 1999.

under the symbol "EPII." Our Series A preferred stock does not trade on any
exchange or Nasdaq. The following table sets forth the high and low closing
prices of a share of common stock for each fiscal quarter in 1999 and 1998:

High Low
Year ended December 31,1999:
First Quarter $ 2-3/8 $ 1-1/4
Second Quarter 2-3/8 1-3/8
Third Quarter 5 2-1/8
Fourth Quarter 4-15/16 3-1/2

Year ended December 31, 1998:
First Quarter $ 2-1/2 $ 1-13/16
Second Quarter 2-1/8 1-1/2
Third Quarter 2-3/8 1-1/2
Fourth Quarter 2-7/16 1-1/2

The bid quotations represent inter-dealer prices and do not include
retail mark-ups, markdowns, or commissions and may not necessarily represent
actual transactions. At February 24, 2000, we had approximately 1,893
shareholders of record and approximately 1,600 shareholders in street name.

We have never paid a cash dividend on our common stock. Payment of
common stock dividends is at the discretion of the board of directors, subject
to our lending arrangements, which currently restrict the payment of dividends.
The board of directors plans to retain earnings, if any, for operations and does
not intend to pay common stock dividends in the near future. However, we paid
dividends on our Series A 7% convertible preferred stock and 8% redeemable
preferred stock. On May 9, 1997, we issued 10,000 shares of redeemable 8%
convertible preferred stock at $1,000 per share. The stock was convertible at
the holders option at $4.26 per share and had a mandatory redemption at the
liquidation preference of $1,000 per share on May 9, 2004. As part of our
recapitalization, the 8% redeemable preferred stock was redeemed in exchange for
$10.0 million senior subordinated notes and detachable warrants to purchase
597,090 shares of our common stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth items from our statements of operations as
percentages of net sales:



1999 1998 1997

Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of goods sold 71.8 78.0 80.1
Gross profit 28.2 22.0 19.9
Operating expenses 16.1 16.3 15.2
Operating income 12.1 5.7 4.7
Non-operating expenses 4.3 3.1 3.6
Income before income taxes and extraordinary loss 7.8 2.6 1.1
Income tax expense (benefit) (1.7) 0.2 (0.2)
Income before extraordinary loss 9.5 2.4 1.3
Extraordinary loss on debt prepayments - 0.9 -
Net income 9.5 1.5% 1.3%


We posted record net sales in 1999, rising 108% from 1998 to 1999 and
3% from 1997 to 1998. Our acquisition of PWPipe in September 1999, as well as
higher volumes of pipe sold, primarily due to increased demand and production
capacities; and increasing pipe prices due to strong demand and increasing raw
material prices, were responsible for the 1999 growth in revenues. Pipe pounds
sold rose by 83% from 1998 to 1999, and pipe prices increased by 11% during the
same period. Revenue growth from 1997 to 1998 was due primarily to higher
volumes of pipe sold due to increased demand and production capacities. Pounds
sold rose by 13% from 1997 to 1998. These higher volumes in 1998 were partially
offset by lower selling prices, which decreased 9% from 1997 to 1998. The lower
selling prices were caused by increased competition and lower PVC resin prices.

The increase in gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, from 1998
to 1999 is primarily due to a combination of strong demand for pipe, rising
resin and pipe prices in 1999, and significant capacity and process improvement
investments we made during the past two years being deployed in 1999. PVC resin
prices increased due to a strong demand for resin and increasing raw material
costs. Strong demand for pipe allowed us to increase pipe prices at a rate
greater than resin price increases. The increase in gross profit as a percentage
of net sales from 1997 to 1998 is primarily due to a combination of strong
demand for pipe and decreasing resin prices in 1998. PVC resin prices decreased
due to excess production capacity in North America and depressed Asian markets.
Strong demand for pipe prevented pipe prices from dropping as fast as resin
prices.

The decrease in operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, from
1998 to 1999 is the result of increased sales in combination with certain fixed
operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses, as a percentage of net
sales, from 1997 to 1998 is primarily due to additional freight costs from
increased sales volume combined with lower selling prices.

The increase in non-operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales,
from 1998 to 1999 is due to the $.5 million and $1.3 million charges incurred in
the third and first quarters of 1999, respectively, as a result of the
terminated acquisition costs incurred in connection with our prior agreements to
acquire the PVC pipe business of the Lamson & Sessions Co. and merge with a
company wholly-owned by CONDEA Vista Company discussed in more detail in Note 5



to the financial statements. The decrease in non-operating expenses as a
percentage of net sales, from 1998 to 1997, which consists principally of
interest expense, is primarily due to the issuance of $10.0 million of
redeemable preferred stock in May of 1997. The proceeds from the preferred stock
were used to pay down our revolving credit line.

In the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1999, we reversed
approximately $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of valuation
allowance placed on our deferred tax asset relating to the net operating loss
carryforwards. The reversals, totaling $4.1 million, were based on updated
expectations about future years' taxable income to reflect continuing
improvements in operating results influenced by our added production capacity,
and other indications that certain concerns that had previously limited
management's expectations about future taxable income no longer applied. Under
generally accepted accounting principles, (a) the portion of the decrease in
valuation allowance related to a change in estimate of future years' income is
accounted for as a discrete event in the period the change in estimate occurred
and (b) the portion of the decrease in the valuation allowance related to a
change of estimate of the current year income is recorded over the remainder of
the current year through elimination of the valuation allowance and a similar
amount of the deferred tax asset as income is earned. Accordingly, (a) the
adjustment to the valuation allowance described above was accounted for
discretely in the quarters they were made and (b) our federal effective tax rate
for the remainder of 1999, excluding the discrete adjustments and the matter
described in the following sentences, was zero. The deferred tax expense
recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 1999, is primarily the result of
the earnings of the acquired PWPipe business. Beginning with the first quarter
of 2000, we expect our overall effective tax rate will approximate 38%.

The net income available to common stockholders for the three months
and for the year ended December 31, 1999 was approximately $1.4 million and $7.1
million, respectively, higher than it would have been if we had recorded our
income tax provision at 38%, which is the expected overall tax rate to be
recorded in future periods. This difference is principally the result of the
accounting for our net operating loss carryforwards in 1999 as discussed in the
preceding paragraph.

Supplemental Discussion and Analysis of Pro Forma Results of Operations

The following is a supplemental discussion and analysis of our pro
forma results of operations as of December 31, 1999, compared with the pro forma
results of operations for December 31, 1998, as if our acquisition had occurred
on January 1, 1998. The pro forma results may not be indicative of results that
actually would have occurred had our acquisition taken place at the beginning of
the period presented or of results which may occur in the future.






The following table sets forth our selected pro forma operating
statement data:

(In thousands, except for per share amounts)
1999 1998
Net sales $ 303,249 $ 254,035
Cost of goods sold 213,496 201,991
Gross profit 89,753 52,044
Operating expenses 47,136 39,660

EPS
Basic $ 2.43 $ .04
Diluted $ 1.82 $ .03

Average shares
Basic 7,296 7,218
Diluted 9,739 9,523

(In percentages)
1999 1998
Net sales 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of goods sold 70.4 79.5
Gross profit 29.6 20.5
Operating expenses 15.5 15.6
Operating income 14.1 4.9
Interest expense 4.1 4.6
Other expense 0.5 0.1
Income before income taxes 9.5 0.2
Income tax expense 3.6 0.1
Net income 5.9 0.1

The principal factors underlying the changes and trends set forth above
in the pro forma results of operations information are consistent with our
historic operation information discussed on pages 9 and 10, largely accentuated
by an increase in pounds sold of 9% in 1999 over 1998. This is primarily a
result of the strong economy in the western United States and its influence on
the construction industry and its suppliers. In addition, selling prices have
increased due to increases in the price of PVC resin and strong demand for
finished goods, and we have realized the result of significant capacity and
process improvement investments made by both Eagle and PWPipe over the last two
years being deployed in 1999.

The pro forma results of operations reflect a pro forma interest
expense at rates that approximate that which we would have experienced on pro
forma debt levels that would have been outstanding over the pro forma periods.
The pro forma results do not reflect any anticipated cost savings or any
synergies that are anticipated from our acquisition of PWPipe, and there can be
no assurance that any such cost savings or synergies will occur.




Had our acquisition been consummated on January 1, 1998, we believe the
valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets for our net operating loss
carryforwards would have been decreased at that date as part of the purchase
accounting for the acquisition. Accordingly, the pro forma results of operations
reflect a consistent pro forma overall effective income tax rate of 38%.

Included in the unaudited historical and pro forma 1999 net income and
earnings per share information are certain nonrecurring charges, as noted in
Note 11 to the financial statements, associated with our acquisition of PWPipe
and our proposed acquisitions which were terminated earlier in fiscal 1999.
These nonrecurring items reduce historical and proforma income before tax by
approximately $3.6 million. Absent these nonrecurring charges, pro forma basic
and diluted earnings per share would be approximately $2.74 and $2.05,
respectively.

Included in the pro forma 1998 net income and earnings per share
information is a $3.3 million fair market value purchase accounting adjustment
related to inventory which was reflected in the earliest pro forma period
presented. Absent this charge, pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share
would be approximately $.31 and $.24 for 1998, respectively.

Financial Condition

We had working capital of $1.7 million at December 31, 1999. As of
December 31, 1999, we had available excess borrowing capacity under our
Revolving Credit Facility of $10.5 million.

Cash generated from operating activities was $8.3 million in 1999,
compared to $5.7 million and $0.8 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Profits and depreciation and amortization were the primary sources of net cash
provided by operating activities.

During the fourth quarter of 1999, we increased inventory to replenish
inventories utilized in the second and third quarters. We normally build
inventory in the first and fourth quarters and draw down inventory in the second
and third quarters due to the seasonal nature of the business. This inventory
build was larger than previous years due to the acquisition of PWPipe in the
third quarter of 1999 and the necessity to build inventory for a larger company.
This increase in inventory utilized approximately $15 million of cash generated
by operations and the revolving credit facility.

We used $77.9 million, $10.6 million, and $7.9 million for investing
activities in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The primary use of cash in
1999 was for our acquisition of PWPipe. The primary use of cash in 1998 and 1997
was for capital expenditures for the addition and replacement of manufacturing
equipment and the construction of the new manufacturing facility in Utah.

Cash provided by financing activities was $72.3 million in 1999. The
primary source of cash in 1999 was borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility
and senior subordinated notes for the PWPipe acquisition.

We had commitments for capital expenditures of $1.1 million at December
31, 1999, which will be funded from operating profits. Additional sources of
liquidity, if needed, may include our revolving credit line, additional
long-term debt financing, and the sale of our equity securities under either a
private or public offering. We believe we have the financial resources needed to
meet our current and future business requirements, including capital
expenditures for expanding manufacturing capacity and working capital
requirements.




On July 21, 1999, Lamson & Sessions Co. filed a complaint against us to
recover alleged damages incurred by Lamson in connection with the termination of
our proposed acquisition of Lamson's PVC pipe business. As set forth in the
complaint, Lamson is seeking nearly $1 million in fees and expenses, plus an
undetermined amount of damages. Although this matter is at an early stage, we
believe that the outcome of this litigation will not have a material adverse
effect on our financial position and future results of operations. We have
accrued $500,000 of estimated costs to be incurred associated with the
disposition of this matter.

Effective September 16, 1999, we completed the acquisition of all of
the outstanding capital stock of PWPipe, a manufacturer of PVC pipe and
fittings. PWPipe operated six manufacturing facilities located in Tacoma and
Sunnyside, Washington; Eugene, Oregon; and Cameron Park, Perris and Visalia,
California, from its operating headquarters in Eugene, Oregon. We paid
approximately $73.8 million, including transaction costs. In addition, in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, we recorded an expense of $800,000 for severance
costs related to the elimination of redundant positions following the
acquisition.

In connection with the acquisition of PWPipe, on September 20, 1999, we
entered into a second amended and restated loan and security agreement to obtain
a $100.0 million Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility consists of
a (i) Term Note A in the principal amount of $35.0 million; (ii) Term Note B in
the principal amount of $15.0 million, and a (iii) $50.0 million Revolving
Credit Facility ($60 million, as amended on March 13, 2000). The Senior Credit
Facility is collateralized by substantially all our assets. Term Note A bears
interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR plus 2.75%. Term Note B bears interest at
a rate equal to the LIBOR plus 3.25%. The LIBOR rate at December 31,1999 was
6.5%. In November 1999, under covenants of our Senior Credit Facility, we
entered into an interest rate swap agreement for three years with a LIBOR rate
of 6.46% for one half of the outstanding principal of Term Loan A and Term Loan
B. Principal on the term notes is due and payable quarterly in $1.25 million
installments beginning on December 31, 1999, and continuing on the last day of
each March, June, September and December thereafter until paid in full on
September 20, 2004. Outstanding notes issued pursuant to the Revolving Facility
bear interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR plus 2.5%. We are required to pay a
fee equal to 0.5% of the unused portion of the Revolving Facility.

Also on September 20, 1999, we issued senior subordinated notes
totaling $32.5 million ($26.4 million recorded amount, net of debt discount
described below) with detachable stock purchase warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 1,940,542 shares of our common stock. Interest on the senior
subordinated notes is payable at a fixed rate per annum equal to 14% beginning
on December 20, 1999, and on the 20th day of each March, June, September and
December thereafter until the entire principal and interest is paid in full on
September 20, 2007. Of this interest, 12% is payable in cash and an additional
2% accrues annually. Principal is paid in three equal installments on each
September 20th of 2005, 2006 and 2007. A debt discount totaling $6.1 million has
been recorded associated with the issuance of the senior subordinated notes,
based on the collective estimated fair value of the senior subordinated notes
and warrants on the date of issue. The discount is being amortized using an
interest method as a yield adjustment over their term.

The various debt agreements set forth certain financial covenants,
which require, among other things, that we maintain certain levels of net worth
and ratios of financial condition, limit capital expenditures, and restrict our
payment of dividends.




As described below, in connection with our acquisition of PWPipe, we
entered into various equity transactions with certain officers and directors. We
sold an aggregate of 353,500 shares of common stock at fair market value, issued
an aggregate of 184,000 shares of restricted stock and granted incentive stock
options to purchase an aggregate of 412,500 shares of common stock.

In the third and fourth quarters of 1999, restricted stock grants were
made to certain officers of the Company. These shares carry dividend and voting
rights. Sales of these shares are restricted prior to the date of vesting. The
shares vest 20% after three years, 30% after four years, and the remaining 50%
after five years from the date of grant. The restricted stock is subject to an
agreement requiring forfeiture by the officer in the event of termination of
employment prior to the vesting date for reason other than normal retirement,
death or disability. Shares issued were recorded at the market price on the date
of grant, with the corresponding deferred charge as part of shareholders'
equity. The deferred charge is being amortized as compensation expense on a
straight-line basis over the related vesting period. As of December 31, 1999,
184,000 shares of restricted stock were outstanding.

Outlook

The statements contained in this outlook and Year 2000 (Y2K) Compliance
sections and statements contained in Items 1, 3 and 7, regarding our beliefs and
expectations, including statements regarding litigation matters, are based on
our current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual
results may differ materially from our current expectations.

We expect the demand for plastic pipe to grow as acceptance of plastic
pipe over metal pipe continues and the overall economy continues to grow.
Industry growth projections call for annual sales growth rates for plastic pipe
of three percent or greater per year through 2003. We have historically been
able to, and expect in the future to be able to, grow at rates in excess of the
industry averages due to our emphasis on customer satisfaction and product
quality. Our strategy has been, and continues to be, to concentrate growth
initiatives in higher profit products and geographic regions.

Our gross margin percentage is sensitive to PVC and PE raw material
resin prices and the demand for PVC and PE pipe. Historically when resin prices
are rising or stable, our margins and sales volume have been higher and when
resin prices are falling, our sales volumes and margins have been lower. Gross
margins also suffer when the supply of PVC and PE pipe increases faster than
demand. We believe that supply and demand in the plastic pipe industry is
currently balanced. We also believe that PVC resin demand will be greater than
PVC resin supply in the year 2000 and that there may be shortages of PVC resin.
Due to the commodity nature of PVC and PE resin and the dynamic supply and
demand factors worldwide, it is very difficult to predict gross margin
percentages or assume that historical trends will continue.

At December 31, 1999, we had a net deferred tax asset of approximately
$7.4 million, including significant net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs). The
net deferred tax asset represents management's best estimate of the tax benefits
that will more likely than not be realized in future years at each reporting
date. However, there can be no assurance that we can generate taxable income to
realize the net deferred tax asset. In addition, under the Tax Reform Act of
1986, certain future changes in ownership resulting from the sale of stock may
limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized on an
annual basis. We have and will continue to evaluate compliance relating to the
utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards, and believe we have
complied in all respects. A failure to meet the requirements could result in a
loss or limitation of the utilization of carryforwards, which could have a
material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations in
future periods.




The statements contained in this Outlook and Year 2000 (Y2K) Compliance
sections and statements contained in Items 1, 3 and 7 regarding our beliefs and
expectations, including statements regarding litigation matters, are forward
looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Some of the
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are
not limited to, raw material cost and supply fluctuations, lower than expected
economic growth, competition, availability of working capital and adverse
weather conditions.

Year 2000 (Y2K) Compliance

As with other organizations, our computer hardware and software were
originally designed to recognize calendar years by their last two digits.
Calculations performed using these truncated fields would not work properly with
dates from the year 2000 and beyond.

We completed an assessment of our information and manufacturing systems
and completed the necessary changes on these systems to make them Y2K compliant.
We have not experienced any disruption to our business as a result of Y2K
issues. In addition, we are not aware of any business disruption related to
major vendors or customers as a result of their non-compliance with Y2K issues.
However, we may experience problems associated with Y2K issues that have not yet
been discovered. We are continuing to monitor our information and manufacturing
systems and transactions with vendors and customers for any indications of Y2K
issues.

As of December 31, 1999, the total cost associated with the
modification to be Y2K compliant was approximately $15,000 which was expensed as
incurred. Most PWPipe system platforms were acquired over the last 24 months and
are Y2K compliant. We believe this to be the total cost necessary to be Y2K
compliant; however, there can be no assurance that final costs will not exceed
this level.

Accounting Pronouncement

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 requires companies
to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities, measured
at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those
derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and
whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000, with earlier adoption encouraged. We
believe implementation of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material effect on
earnings and on our financial position.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks on outstanding interest rate
long-term debt obligations totaling $53 million, of our $78 million of long-term
variable rate debt at December 31, 1999. Market risk is the potential loss
arising from the adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest
rates. Market risk is estimated as the potential increase in fair value
resulting from a hypothetical one percent increase in interest rates which would
result in an annual interest expense increase of approximately $530,000.




We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for
trading or speculative purposes. We only enter into financial instruments to
manage and reduce the impact of changes in interest on our credit facility. In
November 1999, under covenants of our Senior Credit Facility, we entered into a
fixed rate lock agreement (the contract) for three years with a LIBOR rate of
6.46%. The contract has a notional amount of $25 million.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company - The Company is engaged in the manufacture of polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) pipe used primarily for irrigation and in
the construction industry. The Company's principal raw material used in
production is PVC resin which is subject to significant market price
fluctuations.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation - In September 1999, Eagle
Pacific Industries, Inc. (the "Company") acquired Pacific Western Extruded
Plastics Company ("PWPipe") as described in Note 3. The Acquisition is included
in the December 31, 1999 balance sheet and all operating results and cash flows
have been included in the statements of operations and cash flows for the period
from the consummation of the Acquisition through December 31, 1999.

Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid temporary
investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to
be cash equivalents.

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined
by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market. Cost includes materials,
labor and manufacturing overhead.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost,
less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of
property and equipment are computed on the straight-line method over estimated
useful asset lives (shorter of asset life or lease term for leasehold
improvements). The carrying value is evaluated for impairment on a regular basis
based on historical and projected undiscounted cash flows. Maintenance and
repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Major renewals and betterments
are capitalized. Fully depreciated assets are retained in property and
accumulated depreciation accounts until removed from service. Upon disposal,
assets and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and
the net amount, less proceeds from disposal, is charged or credited to
operations.

Deferred Financing Costs - Deferred financing costs are amortized over
the term of the related indebtedness using the effective interest method.

Land held for sale - In conjunction with the development of the West
Jordan, Utah, manufacturing facility, the Company was required to purchase and
develop land for an entire industrial park. The Company is currently in the
process of the selling the excess land. Land held for sale is stated at the
lower of cost or net realizable value.

Goodwill - Goodwill has been recorded for the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in acquisitions and is
being amortized using the straight-line method over 40 years. The carrying value
is evaluated for impairment based on historical and projected undiscounted cash
flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Management estimates that the
carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value. The estimated fair



value amounts have been determined through the use of discounted cash flow
analysis using interest rates currently available to the Company for issuance of
debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. All other financial
instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these
instruments.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when product is shipped.

Product Warranty - The Company's products are generally under warranty
against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year; however,
one of the Company's products has a 50 year warranty and another has a lifetime
warranty for as long as the original purchaser owns the property where this
product was originally installed. The Company has established warranty
provisions for its estimated anticipated future warranty costs.

Income Taxes - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial
statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax
rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax
payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period
in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing
income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and dilutive
shares relating to stock options and preferred stock, if dilutive.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of the 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.

Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based
compensation using the intrinsic value method. Accordingly, compensation cost
for stock options is measured as the excess, if any of the quoted market price
of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay
to acquire the stock.

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the
1998 financial statements to conform to the 1999 presentation. Such
reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders' equity as
previously reported.

New Accounting Standards - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No.133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires
a company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income.



If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in
the fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments are
recognized through earnings or in other comprehensive income until the hedged
item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change
in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The Company believes
implementation of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material effect on earnings and
the financial position of the Company.

2. OTHER FINANCIAL STATEMENT DATA

million, including transaction costs. In connection with the Acquisition,
liabilities assumed were as follows:

Fair value of assets acquired $95,923
Acquisition price of PWPipe (73,761)
--------
Liabilities assumed $22,162
=======

3. MERGER AND ACQUISITION

Effective as of September 16, 1999, the Company acquired (the
"Acquisition") all of the outstanding capital stock of PWPipe, a manufacturer of
PVC pipe and fittings. PWPipe was then merged into the Company. PWPipe operates
six manufacturing facilities. The Company paid approximately $73.8 million,
including transaction costs. The Acquisition was financed in connection with the
Company's recapitalization which included the retirement of $10.0 million
outstanding 8% convertible preferred stock, the amendment of its outstanding
Senior Credit Facility and the issuance of $32.5 million mezzanine debt
consisting of senior subordinated notes and detachable stock purchase warrants
(Note 4 and 6). In addition, the Company recorded an expense of $800,000 for
severance costs related to the elimination of redundant positions following the
Acquisition (Note 11).






The Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly,
the results of operations of PWPipe for the period subsequent to the
consummation of the Acquisition are included in the accompanying financial
statements. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as set forth below. The
purchase price allocation is as follows:

Net working capital $21.1
Property and equipment 49.7
Deferred tax asset 3.0
-------------------------
$73.8
=========================

The following unaudited pro forma income statement information assumes
that the Acquisition took place on January 1, 1998. This information assumes the
benefit from NOL carryforwards is applied to the purchase price on January 1,
1998, and not included in net income. In addition, pro forma income is taxed at
a rate of 38%.

Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations Information (In thousands, except
for per share amounts):

Year ended December 31, 1999 1998

Net sales $ 303,249 $ 254,035
Net income 17,756 256
Basic earnings per share $2.43 $0.04
Diluted earnings per share $1.82 $0.03

Included in the unaudited pro forma 1999 net income and earnings per
share information are certain nonrecurring charges as discussed in Note 11
associated with the Acquisition, and associated with proposed acquisitions
terminated earlier in fiscal 1999. These nonrecurring items reduce pro forma net
income by approximately $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Absent these nonrecurring charges, pro forma basic and diluted earnings per
share would be approximately $2.74 and $2.05, respectively for the year ended
December 31, 1999. Included in the pro forma year ending December 31, 1998, net
income and earnings per share information is a $3.3 million fair market value
purchase accounting adjustment related to inventory which was reflected in the
earliest pro forma period presented. Absent this charge, pro forma basic and
diluted earnings per share would be approximately $.31 and $.24, respectively,
for the year ending December 31, 1998. The unaudited pro forma income statement
information has been prepared for informational purposes only and may not be
indicative of the operating results that actually would have resulted had the
Acquisition been made on January 1, 1998, or of the operating results that may
occur in the future.

4. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

In connection with the Acquisition, on September 20, 1999, the Company
entered into a second amended and restated loan and security agreement to obtain
a $100.0 million Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility consists of
a: (i) Term Note A in the principal amount of $35.0 million ("Term Note A");
(ii) Term Note B in the principal amount of $15.0 million ("Term Note B"), and a
(iii) $50.0 million Revolving Facility ($60 million, as amended on March 13,



2000). The Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all the
assets of the Company. Term Note A bears interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR
plus 2.75%. Term Note B bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.25%. The
LIBOR rate at December 31, 1999 was 6.5%. Principal on the term notes is due and
payable quarterly in $1.25 million amounts beginning on December 31, 1999, and
continuing on the last day of each March, June, September and December
thereafter until paid in full on September 20, 2004. The Senior Credit Facility
requires mandatory prepayment of all borrowings outstanding in the event of a
change in control of the Company, as defined. Outstanding notes issued pursuant
to the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.50%. The
Company is required to pay a fee equal to 0.5% on the unused portion of the
Revolving Facility.

At December 31, 1999, the Company had $30.6 million outstanding under
its revolving credit facility and had additional borrowings available of
approximately $10.5 million, which is based on available collateral. At December
31, 1998, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $9.6 million under its
revolving credit loan agreement.

On September 20, 1999, the Company also issued senior subordinated
notes totaling $32.5 million ($26.4 million recorded amount, net of debt
discount described below) with detachable warrants to purchase an aggregate of
1,940,542 shares of Company common stock (Note 6). Interest on the senior
subordinate notes is payable at a fixed rate per annum equal to 14% beginning on
December 20, 1999, and on the 20th day of each March, June, September and
December thereafter until the entire principal and interest is paid in full on
September 20, 2007. Of this interest, 12% is payable in cash and 2% is accrued
through the issuance of additional notes. Principal is paid in three equal
installments on September 20th of 2005, 2006 and 2007. The senior subordinated
notes provide for mandatory prepayment in the event of a change in control of
the Company, as defined. A debt discount totaling $6.1 million has been recorded
with the issuance of the senior subordinated notes, based on the collective
estimated fair value of the senior subordinated notes and warrants on the date
issued. The discount is being amortized using an interest method as a yield
adjustment over the term of the note.

The various debt agreements set forth certain financial covenants,
which require, among other things, the Company to maintain certain levels of net
worth and financial ratios, limit the Company's capital expenditures, and
restrict its ability to pay dividends.

In July 1998, the Company repaid $4.3 million of its subordinated debt,
which generated an extraordinary loss of $656,419, net of income taxes. This
loss consisted of unamortized prepaid interest of $542,000 and deferred
financing costs of $145,000, net of tax benefit of $31,000. In conjunction with
the repayment, the Company obtained an additional $6.5 million of term notes.

The weighted average interest rate on all short-term borrowings for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, was 8.0% and 8.5%, respectively.






Long-term debt at December 31 consisted of the following (in thousands):

1999 1998

Term note A $ 33,750 $ -
Term note B 13,750 -
Senior subordinated debt 26,752 -

Less current maturities 10,441 1,850
---------------------------------------------
$ 64,252 $ 10,583
---------------------------------------------

(a) Payable $95,300 monthly, plus interest at the bank's national base rate,
plus .25% (8.0% at December 31, 1998), with remaining principal due May 9, 2002.
This note was retired in 1999 as part of the recapitalization.

(b) Due dates ranging from April 1999 through March 2004, initially payable
$26,467 monthly, including interest at 4.25% to 9.38%. Collateralized by land
and equipment.

Aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 1999, are
(in thousands):

2000 $ 10,441
2001 10,000
2002 8,750
2003 5,000
2004 5,000
Thereafter 35,502
----------------------
$ 74,693
======================

In November 1999, the Company entered into a fixed rate lock agreement
of 6.46% for the purpose of establishing an effective interest rate on its
amended senior credit facility. The contract was entered into to reduce the risk
of future rate fluctuations to the Company. The contract has a notional amount
of $25 million. Interest payments receivable and payable under the terms of the
interest rate agreement are accrued over the period and are treated as an
adjustment of interest expense. The Company does not enter into financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The fair market value of borrowing under the Senior Credit Facility
fixed rate lock agreement and senior subordinated notes approximate their
carrying value at December 31, 1999, as their applicable interest rates
approximate current market rates.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation - On July 21, 1999, Lamson & Sessions Co. filed a complaint
against the Company in United States District Court for the Northern District of
Ohio, Eastern Division to recover alleged damages incurred by Lamson in
connection with the termination of the Company's proposed acquisition of
Lamson's PVC pipe business. As set forth in the complaint, Lamson is seeking
nearly $1 million in fees and expenses, plus an undetermined amount of damages.
The Company has denied all of Lamson's claims. Although this matter is at an
early stage, the Company believes that the outcome of this litigation will not
have a material adverse effect on its financial position and future results of
operations.




The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims which
have arisen in the ordinary course of its business and have not been finally
adjudicated. In management's opinion, the disposition of present proceedings and
claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position and results of operations in future periods.

Leases - The Company has non-cancelable operating leases for certain
operating facilities, which expire in 2010. The operating facility leases
contain provisions for increasing the monthly rent for changes in the Consumer
Price Index (CPI).

Future minimum lease payments at December 31, 1999, excluding the CPI
increases, were (in thousands):

2000 $ 296
2001 291
2002 155
2003 155
2004 155
Thereafter 689
======================
$ 1,741
======================


Rent expense under all operating leases was $397,000, $305,000 and
$363,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

6. PREFERRED STOCK REDEMPTION AND COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

On September 20, 1999, as part of the issuance of the senior
subordinated notes (Note 4), the Company redeemed $10.0 million of its
outstanding 8% convertible preferred stock in exchange for $10.0 million senior
subordinated notes and detachable warrants to purchase 597,090 shares of common
stock. A loss of approximately $800,000 was recorded for financial reporting
purposes (classified with preferred dividends in the statement of operations) on
the retirement of the preferred shares, based on the fair value of the senior
subordinated note and detachable stock purchase warrant issued in the exchange.
In addition, detachable warrants to purchase 1,343,452 shares of common stock
were issued in conjunction with the issuance of the $22.5 million senior
subordinated note. All of the detachable warrants are exercisable to purchase
the Company's common stock or Class B common stock at $0.01 per share and expire
in ten years. The number of shares issuable upon exercise and the warrant
exercise price are adjustable in the event the Company pays a dividend in common
stock, subdivides or combines its common stock, or sells capital stock or
options to purchase capital stock at a price less than the market price of its
capital stock on the date of issuance or completes a capital reorganization or
reclassification of its capital stock. The Company has granted the
warrantholders a right of first refusal. The Company cannot sell or issue any of
its common stock, options or convertible securities unless it has first offered
to sell to each warrantholder its proportionate share. Certain affiliates of the
Company granted the warrantholders tagalong rights that give the warrant holders
the right to join any affiliate in the sale of any of their shares. In addition,
the Company granted the warrant holders a put right, whereby in the event of a
change of control of the Company, as defined, the warrant holders have the right
to require the Company to purchase all or any part of the warrants or shares
issuable upon exercise of the warrants.




During 1997, the Company issued 10,000 shares of redeemable 8%
convertible preferred stock at $1,000 per share. The stock was convertible at
the holders option at $4.26 per share and had a mandatory redemption at the
liquidation preference of $1,000 per share on May 9, 2004. This redeemable 8%
convertible preferred stock was redeemed as part of the recapitalization of the
Company. The preferred stock was converted into $10.0 million of senior
subordinated debt as described in Note 4.

7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company entered into various
equity transactions with certain officers and directors. The Company sold an
aggregate of 353,500 shares of common stock at fair market value, and issued an
aggregate of 184,000 shares of restricted stock under company sponsored
programs. The Company also granted incentive stock options to purchase an
aggregate of 412,500 shares of common stock.

In the third and fourth quarters of 1999, in connection with the sale
of common stock to the Company's directors and officers, the Company accepted
promissory notes as partial payment for shares of the Company's common stock
purchased. The promissory notes require that the principal balance be paid in
full by the fourth quarter of 2004. The promissory notes bear interest at the
rate of the Company's Revolving Facility in place during the term of the note.
Interest is due beginning on December 30, 1999, continuing on the last day of
each calendar year until the promissory note is paid in full. The note is a full
recourse obligation of the individual. In prior years, the Company established a
program that provided loans to board members and various members of management
to purchase shares of the Company. This program has since been terminated.
Interest bearing promissory notes totaling $219,000 remain outstanding,
collateralized by approximately 85,000 shares purchased.

In the third and fourth quarters of 1999, restricted stock grants were
made to certain officers of the Company. These shares carry dividend and voting
rights. Sales of these shares are restricted prior to the date of vesting. The
shares vest 20% after three years, 30% after four years, and the remaining 50%
after five years from the date of grant. The restricted stock is subject to an
agreement requiring forfeiture by the officer in the event of termination of
employment prior to the vesting date for reasons other than normal retirement,
death or disability. Shares issued were recorded at the market price on the date
of grant with the corresponding deferred charge as part of stockholders' equity.
The deferred charge is being amortized as compensation expense on a
straight-line basis over the related vesting period. As of December 31, 1999,
184,000 shares of restricted stock were outstanding.

In September, 1999, the Company repurchased 555,265 shares of common
stock and unexercised stock options from a director of the Company for a net
aggregate cash purchase price of $1.4 million. The director resigned from the
board and relinquished all of his equity ownership in the Company through this
transaction. In connection with repurchase, the Company recorded a charge of
approximately $838,000 associated with shares reacquired, which had been
purchased in fiscal 1999 by the director under stock option arrangements (Note
11).

During 1998, the Company issued 352,552 shares of common stock for the
exercise of stock options and purchased and retired 223,691 shares of common
stock. During 1997, the Company issued 80,237 shares of common stock for the
exercise of stock options and purchased and retired 17,300 shares of common
stock.




The Series A preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the
holder, to common stock at a current conversion ratio of one share of common
stock for each share of preferred stock. The preferred stock has voting rights
based on the number of shares of common stock into which the preferred stock is
then convertible and has a liquidation preference to common stock.

8. INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences
between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are primarily related to amounts, which have
been deducted for financial statement purposes but have not been deducted for
income tax purposes and the tax effect of net operating loss carryforwards.

In the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1999, the Company
reversed approximately $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively of valuation
allowance placed on its deferred tax asset relating to the net operating loss
carryforwards. The reversals, totaling $4.1 million, were based on updated
expectations about future years' taxable income to reflect continuing
improvements in operating results influenced by the Company's added production
capacity, and other indications that certain concerns that had previously
limited management's expectations about future taxable income no longer applied.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, (a) the portion of the decrease
in valuation allowance related to a change in estimate of future years' income
is accounted for as a discrete event in the period the change in estimate
occurred and (b) the portion of the decrease in the valuation allowance related
to a change of estimate of the current year income is recorded over the
remainder of the current year through elimination of the valuation allowance and
a similar amount of the deferred tax asset as income is earned. Accordingly, (a)
the adjustment to the valuation allowance described above were accounted for
discretely in the quarters they were made and (b) the Company's federal
effective tax rate for the remainder of 1999, excluding the discrete adjustments
and the matter described in the following sentences was zero. The deferred tax
expense recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 is primarily the
result of the earnings of the acquired PWPipe business. Beginning with the first
quarter of 2000, the Company expects that its overall effective tax rate will
approximate 38%.

At December 31, 1999, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of
approximately $7.4 million. The net deferred tax asset represents management's
best estimate of the tax benefits that will more likely than not be realized in
future years at each reporting date. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company can generate taxable income to realize the net deferred tax asset. In
addition, under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, certain future changes in ownership
resulting from the sale of stock may limit the amount of net operating loss
carryforwards that can be utilized on an annual basis. The Company has and
continues to evaluate compliance relating to the utilization of the net
operating loss carryforwards, and believes it has complied in all respects. A
failure to meet the requirements could result in a loss or limitation of the
utilization of carryforwards, which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position and results of operations in future periods.

As part of the allocation of the purchase price of PWPipe,
approximately $3.0 million of net deferred tax assets were recorded, of which
$1.8 million related to a valuation allowance adjustment related to forecasted
utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards by PWPipe. In
addition, an original issue discount associated with the issuance of the senior
subordinated debt was recorded for financial reporting purposes, which resulted



in the recording of a deferred tax liability of approximately $636,000. The
remainder of the net deferred tax assets recorded as part of the Acquisition
relates primarily to book and tax basis differences associated with the assets
acquired, as different methods of allocation of the purchase price were used for
tax reporting purposes.

Deferred taxes as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, are summarized as follows (in
thousands):



1999 1998

Current deferred taxes:
Accrued bonuses and 401(k) contributions $ 1,623 $ -

9. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income
applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share assumes conversion of convertible
preferred stock as of the beginning of the year and the exercise of stock
options and warrants using the treasury stock method, if dilutive. The following
tables reflect the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:



Year ended December 31, 1999
(in thousands except for per share amounts) Income Shares Per Share Amount


Income before extraordinary item $14,562
Preferred stock dividends and loss on redemption (1,401)
---------------- ------------ ----------------------
Basic EPS:
Income available to common stockholders 13,161 6,998 $ 1.88
---------------- ------------ ----------------------
Effect of dilutive securities:
Options - 2,814
---------------- ------------ ----------------------
Diluted EPS:
Income available to common stockholders $13,161 9,812 $ 1.48
================ ============ ======================









Options to purchase 102,061 shares of common stock were outstanding at
December 31, 1999, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS
because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the
common shares.



Year Ended December 31, 1998
(in thousands except for per share amounts) Income Shares Per Share Amount


Income before extraordinary item $ 1,788
Preferred stock dividends (803)
---------------- ------------ ----------------------
Basic EPS:
Income available to common stockholders $ 985 $ 6,670 $ .15
================ ============ ======================
Effect of dilutive securities:
Options - 495
---------------- ------------ ----------------------
Diluted EPS:
Income available to common stockholders $ 985 7,165 $ .14
================ ============ ======================


Options to purchase 317,355 shares of common stock were outstanding at
December 31, 1998, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS
because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the
common shares. Conversion of the 7% convertible preferred stock and the 8%
redeemable convertible preferred stock was not assumed since the conversion
would have an antidilutive effect on the diluted EPS calculation.



Year Ended December 31, 1997
(in thousands except for per share amounts) Income Shares Per Share Amount


Net income $ 930
Preferred stock dividends (520)
---------------- ------------ ----------------------
Basic EPS:
Income available to common stockholders 410 6,503 $ .06
================ ============ ======================
Effect of dilutive securities:
Warrants and options - 924
---------------- ------------ ----------------------
Diluted EPS:
Income available to common stockholders $ 410 7,427 $ .06
================ ============ ======================


Options to purchase 30,411 shares of common stock were outstanding at
December 31, 1997, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS
because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the
common shares. Conversion of the 7% convertible preferred stock and the 8%
redeemable convertible preferred stock was not assumed since the conversion
would have an antidilutive effect on the diluted EPS calculation.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

401(K) PLANS

The Company's previous 401(k) plans covered substantially all
employees. The Company's discretionary contributions to the plan are determined
annually by the board of directors. The Company is also required to match a
portion of employees' voluntary contributions. Total amounts charged to
operations were $821,000, $303,000 and $235,000 for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.




RESTRICTED STOCK GRANTS

In 1999 the Company awarded 184,000 shares of restricted stock grants
to certain officers. These shares carry dividend and voting rights. The sale or
transfer of the shares is limited during the restricted period. The value of
these awards was established by the market price on the date of grant. The
restrictions lapse over five years. No restrictions lapsed during the year ended
December 31, 1999.

Unearned compensation was charged for the market value of the
restricted shares as these shares were issued in accordance with the plan. The
unearned compensation is shown as a reduction of shareholders' equity in the
accompanying balance sheets and is being amortized ratably over the restricted
period.

Total amounts charged to operations were $30,000, $0, and $96,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company's 1991 and 1997 stock option plans and its nonqualified
stock option plan (the Plans) provide for the granting of up to 4.445 million of
incentive or non-qualified stock options to key employees. This is inclusive of
547,000 additional common shares which were reserved for grant on September 9,
1999, under the 1997 plan. Generally, options outstanding under the Company's
Plans: (i) are granted at prices equal to the market value of the stock on the
date of grant, (ii) vest ratably over a three to five year vesting period, and
(iii) expire over a period not greater than ten years from the date of grant.

A summary of the status of the Company's stock options as of December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, and changes during the year ended on those dates is
