INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors
Alabama Metal Industries Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alabama Metal
Industries Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2004
and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2004
and 2003, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

(Concluded)

ALABAMA METAL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alabama Metal Industries Corporation ("Amico") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AMICO Canada, Inc. ("Amico Canada"), Seasafe, Inc. ("Seasafe"), International Grating, Inc. ("IGI"), Klemp Corporation ("Klemp"), and Diamond Perforated Metals, Inc. ("Diamond") (collectively, the "Company"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Balances denominated in foreign currencies for Amico Canada are translated using year-end exchange rates for balance sheet items and weighted average exchange rates for the year on income statement items. Nature of Operations - The Company manufactures and sells a variety of metal, fiberglass, and plastic products used primarily in the construction industry and in industrial applications. Sales are concentrated in the continental United States and Canada. As of December 31, 2004, 30% of the Company's hourly labor force was comprised of employees covered under collective bargaining agreements, none of which will expire in 2005. Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days to be cash equivalents. Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of raw materials and the raw material content of work-in-process and finished goods for Amico and Klemp are determined primarily using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. Other inventory components and the inventory of Amico Canada, Seasafe, IGI, and Diamond are determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. LIFO inventories comprise 76% and 71% of total inventory at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is recorded at acquisition cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings 15 to 40 years Leasehold improvements Term of lease Machinery and equipment 5 to 12 years Furniture and fixtures 3 to 10 years Vehicles 3 to 5 years Long-Lived Assets Excluding Goodwill - The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of long-lived assets is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such assets are less than their carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. The Company periodically reviews the appropriateness of the estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets.

Assets held for sale are those that meet the criteria established by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at the lower of their carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to dispose (see Note 3). Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of net assets acquired in business combinations over their fair value. Effective January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized but reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if certain indicators arise. Additional information regarding the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, is presented in Note 4. Income Taxes - In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets represent items to be used as a tax deduction or credit in future tax returns for which the Company has already properly recorded the tax benefit in the statement of operations. To the extent the inability to realize a deferred tax asset is assessed as more likely than not, a valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax asset. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Staff Position No. 109-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction of Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 ("FSP FAS 109-1"). FSP FAS 109-1 states that the qualified production activities deduction should be accounted for as a special deduction and the special deduction should be considered in measuring deferred taxes when graduated tax rates are a significant factor and assessing whether a valuation allowance is necessary. The Company is currently evaluating the effects FSP FAS 109-1 will have on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 109-2, Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 ("FSP FAS 109-2"). FSP FAS 109-2 provides for a special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer (repatriation provision), provided certain criteria are met. The Company is currently evaluating the effects FSP FAS 109-2 will have on its consolidated financial statements and expects to complete its assessment during 2005. The Company has undistributed earnings in its Canadian subsidiary totaling approximately $4,942,000 for which taxes have not been provided pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 23, Accounting for Income Taxes - Special Areas ("APB 23"). The Company considers all of the investments to be permanently reinvested as the funds will be utilized for ongoing operations of its Canadian subsidiary. The Company has the ability to keep the profits in Canada as it is generating sufficient operating cash flow in the United States. Workers' Compensation Claims - The Company maintains self-insurance programs for claims for employee health and workers' compensation and records reserves for expected claims, including an actuarially determined estimate of incurred but not reported claims, on a discounted basis (see Note 7). Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company's financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and interest-bearing debt. The fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 approximates its carrying value given the interest rate environment and the Company's risk profile. The fair value of the remaining debt approximates its carrying value due to the variable nature of the associated interest rates. The fair value of the Company's other financial instruments approximates the carrying values reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2004 and 2003, primarily because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs. SFAS No. 151 provides guidance to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 151 on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets (an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29). SFAS No. 153 requires that exchange transactions that lack commercial substance be measured based on the recorded amount less impairment and not on the fair value of the exchanged assets. Exchange transactions that lack commercial substance are transactions that are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. This statement becomes effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition - Revenue from sales of the Company's products is recognized upon shipment to the customer when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the product price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company has no postdelivery obligations, and product returns are reasonably estimable. The Company records amounts billed to customers for shipment of goods as a component of net sales. The related costs associated with shipping and handling are recorded as cost of sales. Sales returns, discounts and allowances are treated as reductions to sales in the period the related sales are recorded. Comprehensive Income - Comprehensive income is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. During 2004 and 2003, comprehensive income consists of the Company's gain (loss) on foreign currency translation and net income. 2. INVENTORIES Inventories at December 31, 2004 and 2003 consist of the following: 2004 2003 Raw materials $ 6,266,275 $ 9,359,403 Work-in-process 629,972 611,512 Finished goods 22,838,493 15,355,159 ____________ ____________ Total 29,734,740 25,326,074 ____________ ____________ If the FIFO method of inventory accounting had been used for inventory valuation purposes instead of the LIFO method, inventories would have increased by $15,855,170 and $2,019,942 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

During 2004 and 2003, the liquidation of LIFO inventory layers decreased cost of sales by $1,020,268 and $322,854, respectively. 3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment at December 31, 2004 and 2003 consists of the following 2004 2003 Land $ 2,155,210 $ 2,431,955 Buildings and leasehold improvements 15,485,273 15,682,826 Machinery and equipment 70,335,891 68,750,706 Furniture and fixtures 4,118,541 3,806,816 Vehicles 872,057 779,721 Construction-in-progress 5,132,370 1,366,440 _____________ ____________ Total 98,099,342 92,818,464 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 54,826,605 50,174,215 _____________ ____________ Property and equipment - net $ 43,272,737 $ 42,644,249 _____________ ____________ During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded pretax impairment charges in accordance with SFAS No. 144 of $1,353,476. Impairment charges of $1,276,303 related to property and equipment used in the Company's Klemp operations that were classified as held for sale in the accompanying 2003 consolidated balance sheet. The balance of the impairment charges related to property and equipment that are no longer of use to the Company's Seasafe operations or any other operations of the Company. Impairment charges recorded in 2004 relate to certain assets of Amico Canada. In 2004, the Klemp assets classified as held for sale were sold with no additional loss realized. As of December 31, 2004, certain other assets of the Amico operations have been classified as held for sale. 4. GOODWILL On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 and, accordingly, discontinued goodwill amortization. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company is required to complete an annual impairment test. The Company determined fair value as of January 1, 2004 and 2003, by averaging the results of a discounted cash flow model, a guideline company model, and a transaction model. The estimated fair value from this evaluation exceeded the carrying value of the net assets indicating goodwill was not impaired. 5. NOTES PAYABLE - REVOLVER AND LONG-TERM DEBT Notes Payable - Revolver - In September 1999, the Company executed a $69.25 million revolving and term loan agreement, which expires in September 2005. The revolving line of credit provides for borrowings (including letters of credit) up to 50% to 85% of the Company's eligible receivables and inventories, as defined, not to exceed $36 million ($28.6 million in borrowing capacity at December 31, 2004). Interest is payable under the revolving line of credit at a variable rate, as defined in the agreement (ranging from 3.10% to 4.41% and 3.65% to 4.75% at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively).

Pursuant to the Company's Stock Incentive Plan, options to purchase 1,956 shares of common stock were granted to certain key employees in 1996. The options vested over a two year period and expire fifteen years from the grant date. The Company applied the provisions of APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and did not recognize any compensation expense for these awards over the vesting period as the exercise price ($1,127.40) at the date of grant was equal to the estimated fair value of a share of the Company's common stock. Under the Plan, there are no additional options available for grant. 9.
