  ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
  
  a. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
  
       International Aluminum Corporation is an integrated
  manufacturer and supplier of a broad line of quality aluminum,
  wood, vinyl and glass products.  The Company was incorporated in
  California in 1963 as successor to an aluminum fabricating
  business begun in 1957 and maintains its executive offices at 767
  Monterey Pass Road, Monterey Park, California 91754.  The
  Company's telephone number is (213) 264-1670.  Reference to the
  "Registrant", "International Aluminum Corporation" or the
  "Company" includes International Aluminum Corporation and its
  subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.
  
  b. INDUSTRY SEGMENTS, LINES OF BUSINESS AND CLASSES OF PRODUCTS
  
       This information is included on pages 4 and 13 respectively,
  of the Registrant's 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders and is
  hereby incorporated by reference.
  
  c. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
  
  Processes and Products
  
    Building Products
  
      Residential.  Residential products are fabricated from
  aluminum, wood and vinyl into a broad line of horizontal sliding
  windows, vertical sliding windows, casement windows, garden
  windows, bay and bow windows, special configuration windows,
  louvre windows, patio doors, tub enclosures, shower doors,
  wardrobe mirror doors and related products.  These products are
  used in new residential construction and in remodeling, home
  improvement and replacement.
  
      Commercial.  Commercial products are fabricated from aluminum
  into curtain walls, window walls, storefront framing, entrance
  doors and frames, interior doors and frames and interior wall
  systems.  These products are utilized in varying combinations to
  produce systems used for office and commercial construction,
  remodeling and tenant improvement applications.
  
      Aluminum Extrusions.  In the extrusion process, heated
  aluminum billets are hydraulically forced through steel dies to
  produce a piece of metal of the desired length and cross-section
  shape.  The extrusions are then cut and, when requested, anodized
  or painted in a variety of finishes in the Company's anodizing
  and painting departments.
  
  
                                   - 1 -<PAGE>
<PAGE>
      The Company currently has five extrusion presses at its
  Alhambra, California plant and four presses at its plant in
  Waxahachie, Texas.
  
      Aluminum extrusions produced by the Company are used in
  fabricating substantially all of its other aluminum products. 
  In addition, during fiscal 1997 approximately 55% of the
  extrusions produced were sold to users in its own or other
  industries, including manufacturers of fixtures, electronic
  equipment, automotive products, sailboats, skylights and truck
  bodies.  The Company furnishes design services to assist its
  customers in developing or better utilizing custom extrusions.
  
  Glass Products
  
      This product group shapes, bends, bevels, etches, polishes
  and tempers bulk flat glass.  The fabricated glass is primarily
  utilized in the Company's store display systems and in its glass
  furniture lines.  Glass is also processed to customer
  specifications for incorporation into their end products, which
  include residential, patio and office furniture, truck and
  recreational vehicle windows, light fixtures and appliances.
  
  Sales and Distribution
  
      The Company markets its residential products primarily to
  mass merchandisers, independent dealers and distributors, with
  whom the Company has no long-term contracts.  Commercial building
  products are marketed primarily to glazing and tenant improvement
  contractors.  Aluminum extrusions are marketed principally by
  direct sales to other manufacturers, some of which produce
  aluminum products of the Company's design.  The Company's glass
  products are marketed to manufacturers, distributors and
  retailers.
  
      Each of the Company's subsidiaries has its own administrative
  and sales organizations.  Sales are made largely in North America
  and Europe.
  
      No customer accounted for more than 5% of net sales in 1997,
  and no material part of the business is dependent upon a single
  customer or a few customers, the loss of any one or more of whom
  would have a materially adverse effect on the business of the
  Company.  The Company does business on a current basis and has
  no significant backlog of unfilled firm orders.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
                                   - 2 -<PAGE>
<PAGE>
  Materials
  
      The Company purchases its aluminum ingot requirements from
  primary aluminum producers or spot metal brokers.  Although
  increased worldwide demand produces periods of tight supply of
  aluminum ingot and scrap, the Company has had satisfactory
  experience to date in obtaining sufficient raw materials to meet
  its requirements and does not anticipate material shortages which
  would significantly hamper its operations.
  
      Flat glass is purchased from domestic glass manufacturers. 
  The Company has had satisfactory experience to date in obtaining
  sufficient glass to meet its requirements.
  
      The Company produces the aluminum extrusions used in the
  products it manufactures and sells.  Wood, vinyl, hardware,
  fasteners and screening are purchased from outside sources.
  
  
  Seasonality
  
      Sales of products designed for residential and commercial
  applications are subject to cyclical swings in new construction
  and seasonal fluctuations due to reduced construction activity
  in some marketing areas during the winter months (second and
  third quarters).
  
  Working Capital
  
      To maintain an adequate supply of aluminum to meet customer
  delivery requirements and to assure itself of a continuous
  allotment of materials from its suppliers, the Company at times
  carries a significant inventory of aluminum ingot.  Depending on
  price and availability, bulk quantities of ingot are purchased
  from either primary aluminum producers or from spot metal
  brokers.
  
      The Company does not believe there are any abnormal working
  capital requirements associated with any of its product groups
  as merchandise is normally produced for specific customer orders
  or shipped from inventory and as a general practice extended
  payment terms are not granted to customers.
  
  Patents
  
      The Company has no material patents, either issued or
  pending, and is not a party to any significant licensing
  agreements.

<PAGE>
  Competition and Risk
  
      The business of International Aluminum is highly competitive. 
  Competition in all product lines is on the basis of price,
  service and product quality.  The manner and extent of such
  competition depends on the product being marketed and the
  relevant marketing area.  In selling its residential products to
  mass merchandisers, dealers and distributors, the Company faces
  competition primarily from numerous fabricators.  Several of the
  Company's major competitors in selling commercial products and
  aluminum extrusions are substantially larger, more diversified
  and have greater resources than the Company.
  
      The Company anticipates that expansion of its product lines
  may result in its competing with certain of its present
  customers.  While the Company cannot accurately predict the
  effect, if any, that such development will have on its business,
  the Company anticipates no material adverse effect.
  
      Since a substantial portion of the Company's business is
  connected with residential and commercial building construction,
  any significant decrease in new or remodeling construction could
  adversely affect revenues.  Experience has shown that high
  interest rates for construction financing and residential
  mortgage and home improvement loans may adversely affect
  revenues.
  
  Environmental Controls
  
      The Company's domestic aluminum extrusion, anodizing,
  painting and manufacturing facilities are subject to water and
  air pollution control standards mandated by federal, state and
  local law.  While the Company anticipates no material capital
  expenditures to meet established environmental quality control
  standards, there can be no assurance that more stringent
  standards will not be established which might require such
  expenditures.
  
  Employees
  
      As of June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately 2,000
  full-time employees.
  
  d.    FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS
  
      The information concerning sales, net income and identifiable
  assets of foreign and domestic operations for fiscal years 1997,
  1996 and 1995 is set forth in Note 9 to the consolidated
