FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS OR INFORMATION

     Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, including information set forth
under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations", constitute "Forward-Looking Statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Such statements are
typically punctuated by words or phrases such as "anticipates," "estimate,"
"should," "may," "management believes," and words or phrases of similar
import.  The Company cautions investors that such forward-looking statements
included in this Form 10-Q, or hereafter included in other publicly available
documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to the
Company's stockholders and other publically available statements issued or
released by the Company involve significant risks, uncertainties, and other
factors which could cause the Company's actual results, performance (financial
or operating) or achievements to differ materially from the future results,
performance (financial or operating) or achievements expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to
such differences could include, but are not limited to, changes in demand,
prices, and the raw materials cost of steel and zinc; changes in economic
conditions of the various markets the Company serves, Year 2000 issues, as
well as the other risks detailed herein and in the Company's reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company believes that the
important factors set forth in the Company's cautionary statements at Exhibit
99 to this Form 10-Q could cause such a material difference to occur and
investors are referred to Exhibit 99 for such cautionary statements.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
 Kinark Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Kinark Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2000, and
the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows
for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we
do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to
be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of
Kinark Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and comprehensive
income, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and
in our report dated February 18, 2000 (Except as to Note 12 for which the
date is March 14, 2000), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set
forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1999 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                    KINARK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 and 1999
                                UNAUDITED


NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
         ---------------------
         The condensed consolidated financial statements included
         in this report have been prepared by Kinark Corporation
         (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations
         of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim
         reporting and include all normal and recurring
         adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
         necessary for a fair presentation.  These financial
         statements have not been audited by an independent
         accountant.  The condensed consolidated financial
         statements include the accounts of the Company
         and its subsidiaries.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
         included in financial statements prepared in
         accordance with accounting principles generally
         accepted in the United States of America have been
         condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
         regulations for interim reporting.  The Company
         believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
         information presented not misleading.  However, these
         financial statements should be read in conjunction
         with the financial statements and notes thereto included
         in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the
         year ended December 31, 1999.  The financial data for
         the interim periods presented may not necessarily
         reflect the results to be anticipated for the complete
         year.

         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 contingent
         assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and
         the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for each
         of the years.  Actual results will be determined
         based on the outcome of future events and could differ
         from the estimates.

         The Company will be required to adopt Statement
         of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
         "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
         Activities", effective January 1, 2001, and is in the
         process of evaluating the effect of this standard on its
         financial reporting.  SFAS No. 133 requires fair
         value accounting for all stand-alone derivatives,
         and for many derivatives embedded in other
         instruments and contracts.

NOTE 2.  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
         --------------------------
         Diluted earnings per common share for the periods
         presented has been computed based upon the weighted
         average number of shares outstanding of 6,712,219
         and 6,762,208 adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock
         options for the three months ended March 31, 2000
         and 1999, respectively.  Basic earnings per common share
         for these same periods has been computed based upon
         the average number of shares outstanding of 6,712,219

                                    7

         and 6,751,754, respectively for each period.
         The number of options excluded from the calculation
         of diluted earnings per share due to the option price
         being higher than the share value are 383,000 and
         254,500 at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

NOTE 3.  INVENTORIES
         -----------
         Inventories consist primarily of raw zinc "pigs,"
         molten zinc in galvanizing kettles and other
         chemicals and materials used in the  hot dip
         galvanizing process.  All inventories are stated at
         the lower of cost or market with market value based
         on ultimate realizable value from the galvanizing
         process.  Zinc cost is determined on a last-in
         first-out (LIFO) basis.  Other inventories are valued
         primarily on an average cost basis.


NOTE 4.  BONDS PAYABLE
         -------------
         During the first quarter of 2000, the Company issued
         $9,050,000 of Harris County Industrial
         Development Corporation Adjustable Rate Industrial
         Development Bonds, Series 2000.  The bonds are senior to
         other debt of the Company.  Proceeds from the bond issue
         are to be used for specified capital expenditures
         and were transferred to Bank One Trust Company, N.A.
         (the "Trustee").  The Trustee holds the unexpended bond
         funds and delivers funds to the Company as requested
         for appropriate expenditures.

         The bonds bear interest at a variable rate (5.25%
         at March 31, 2000) that can be converted to a fixed
         rate upon certain conditions outlined in the bond
         agreement.  The bonds are subject to annual sinking fund
         redemption of $230,000 commencing on June 15, 2001,
         and thereafter increases annually to a maximum
         redemption of $960,000 on June 15, 2012.  The final
         maturity date of the bonds is June 15, 2013.  The
         Company has the option of early redemption of the
         bonds at par unless the bonds are converted to a
         fixed interest rate, in which case they are redeemable
         at a premium during a period specified in the bond
         agreement.  The Company's obligation under the bond
         agreement is secured through a letter of credit with a
         bank which must remain in effect as long as any
         bonds are outstanding.  The letter of credit is
         collateralized by substantially all the assets
         of the Company.

         The Agreement contains certain restrictive
         covenants including consolidated tangible net worth,
         debt service coverage ratio, current ratio, maximum
         leverage ratio and capital expenditures.  The Company
         was in compliance with the covenants or had waivers for
         events of non-compliance at March 31, 2000.

NOTE 5.  DEBT OBLIGATIONS
         ----------------
         In September 1999, the Company entered into a
         new three-year bank credit agreement with total credit
         facilities of $23,700,00 that replaced a previous loan
         agreement of $13,250,000 scheduled to expire in May 2000.
         The new agreement provides (1) a $9,000,000 maximum
         revolving line of credit for working capital and general
         corporate purposes, (ii) a $1,500,000 revolving
         capital expenditures facility, (iii) a $4,200,000 term
         loan, (iv) a $2,000,000 advancing bridge loan which
         expired March 2000 and (v) a $9,000,000 maximum

                                    8

         bridge loan replacement facility.  The bridge loan
         replacement facility was fully funded in the first
         quarter of 2000 from the proceeds of Harris County Industrial
         Development Cororation Adjustable Rate Industrial Development
         Bonds, Series 2000. Among other conditions of the bond financing,
         which will be amortized over 12 years, the bonds are
         supported by a financial letter of credit issued by
         a bank and guaranteed by the Company.  The new
         bank credit agreement matures September 30, 2002.

         At March 31, 2000, the Company had additional
         borrowing capacity of $1,654,000, net of outstanding
         letters of credit totaling $275,000,  under its
         revolving line of credit that reflected the underlying
         value of its accounts receivable and inventories.
         In addition, the Company had $1,500,000 under the
         term loan available for capital expenditures. At the end
         of the first quarter 2000, the Company also had
         outstanding an irrevocable letter of credit totaling
         $1,980,000 for commitments related to the construction
         of a new galvanizing plant, which it expects to pay in
         full by the end of 2000 from existing bond proceeds.

         Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable,
         inventories, fixed assets and the stock of its
         subsidiaries are pledged as collateral under the
         agreement, and the credit agreement is secured by a
         guaranty from each of the Company's subsidiaries.
         Amounts borrowed under the agreement bear interest
         at the prime rate of Bank One, Oklahoma or the LIBOR
         rate, at the option of the Company, subject to a
         rate margin adjustment determined by the Company's
         consolidated debt service ratio.  The prime rate
         margin adjustment ranges from minus 50 basis points
         (0.50%) to plus 25 basis points (0.25%).  The LIBOR
         rate margin adjustment ranges from plus 225 basis points
         (2.25%) to plus 300 points (3.00%).

         Term loan payments are based on a five year
         amortization schedule with equal monthly payments of
         principal and interest, and the loan may be
         prepaid without penalty.  The revolving line of credit
         may be paid down without penalty, or additional
         funds may be borrowed up to the revolver limit.
         The credit agreement requires the Company to maintain
         compliance with covenant limits for current ratio,
         debt to tangible net worth ratio, debt service coverage
         ratio and capital expenditures ratio.  The Company
         was in compliance with the covenants or had waivers for
         events of non-compliance at March 31, 2000.

NOTE 6.  CASUALTY LOSSES
         ---------------
         At March 31, 2000, NAG had an unresolved insurance
         claim arising from the failure of a galvanizing
         kettle during 1999.  A major part of the claim
         resulted from additional costs incurred to galvanize
         product at an alternate NAG location in order to meet
         delivery commitments.  NAG took a charge of $176,000
         to other expense in the final quarter of 1999 for the
         net book value of the kettle and related costs incurred
         in 1999, net of interim insurance proceeds.  Due
         to the uncertainty of the timing and amount of future
         insurance recoveries, NAG took an additional charge of
         $313,000 during the first quarter of 2000.

                                    9


NOTE 7.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
         -----------------------------
         As previously reported, North American Galvanizing
         Company ("NAG") was notified in 1996 by the Illinois
         Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA") that it was
         a potentially responsible party under the
         Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
         and Liability Information System (CERCLIS) in
         connection with cleanup of an abandoned site formerly
         owned by Sandoval Zinc Co.  The IEPA notice includes NAG
         as one of 59 organizations which arranged for the
         treatment and disposal of hazardous substances at
         Sandoval. Based on current information and the
         preliminary state of investigation, NAG's share of any
         probable future costs cannot be estimated at this time.

         In October 1999, Lake River received notice from a
         customer of a claim for approximately $972,000 to
         recover costs arising from Lake River's alleged
         shipment of the wrong product in May 1999.  At March 31,
         2000, the Company and its insurance carrier had not
         made a final determination of the amount of the claim,
         nor assessed the potential joint responsibility of
         the several parties involved.  Although the ultimate
         amount of the claim and apportionment of
         responsibility is not determinable at this time,
         Lake River recorded a reserve of $25,000 in 1999
         for the self-insurance retention under its insurance
         policy.

         The Company will continue to have additional
         environmental compliance costs associated with
         operations in the galvanizing and chemicals
         businesses.  The Company is committed to complying
         with the environmental legislation and regulations
         affecting its operations.  Due to the uncertainties
         associated with future environmental technologies,
         regulatory interpretations, and prospective
         legislative activity, management cannot reasonably
         attempt to quantify potential costs in this area.

         The Company expenses or capitalizes, where
         appropriate, environmental expenditures that relate
         to current operations as they are incurred.  Such
         expenditures are expensed when they are attributable
         to past operations and are not expected to contribute
         to current or future revenue generation.  The
         Company records liabilities when remediation or other
         environmental assessment or clean-up efforts are
         probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated.

         NAG enters into purchase commitments with domestic and
         foreign zinc producers to purchase certain of its zinc
         requirements for its hot dip galvanizing operations.
         Commitments for the future delivery of zinc reflect
         rates quoted on the London Metals Exchange which are not
         subject to future price adjustment.  At March 31,
         2000, the aggregate commitments for the procurement of
         zinc were approximately $3.7 million in 2000, which
         represents approximately 56% of estimated requirements
         for the remainder of 2000.  Management believes
         this zinc procurement program ensures adequate supplies
         of zinc and stable gross margins from its galvanizing
         operations.  With respect to the zinc purchase
         commitments, a potential decrease of 10% in the market
         price of zinc from the March 31, 2000 level would
         cause a lost gross margin opportunity of
         approximately $370,000.  However, a favorable impact
         of a similar amount would result from the same
         hypothetical price movement on the 44% requirements
         satisfied by short-term spot purchases of zinc not
         yet committed.

         In the first quarter of 2000, NAG began construction
         on a new galvanizing plant in Harris County,

                                   10

         Texas and, in connection with this project, entered
         into contract commitments of approximately
         $6,100,000.

         Various litigation arising in the ordinary course of
         business is pending against the Company.

         Management believes that resolution of the Company's
         contingencies should not materially affect the
         Company's consolidated financial position or liquidity.
         Should future developments cause the Company to
         record an additional liability for customer claims,
         environmental evaluation, clean-up or litigation, the
         recording of such a liability could have a material
         impact on the results of operations for the period
         involved.

NOTE 8.  LABOR AGREEMENT
         ---------------
         On April 1, 2000, NAG concluded negotiations of a
         one-year labor agreement with the United Steel Workers
         Union covering approximately 110 production workers at
         its Tulsa galvanizing plant.  The new agreement is
         not materially changed from the previous agreement
         which expired in the first quarter of 2000.

NOTE 9.  SEGMENT DISCLOSURES
         -------------------
         The Company is engaged principally in hot dip
         galvanizing and also conducts business in bulk
         liquid chemical storage and public warehousing.
         The services provided by the Company's wholly-owned
         subsidiaries are classified into the following industry
         segments: Galvanizing, Chemical Storage and
         Warehousing.  Operating performance is measured by
         segment sales and operating earnings which includes
         operating costs, selling and administrative expenses,
         depreciation and amortization.  All of the Company's
         revenues are derived from sales to customers located
         within the United States and there are no inter-
         segment sales.  The galvanizing segment provides
         corrosion protection for customers' fabricated iron
         and steel structures through the process of
         immersing the structure into a bath of molten zinc.
         The chemical storage segment operates a bulk liquid
         terminal for the storage of customers' products and
         also provides specialty chemical bagging and drumming
         services.  The warehousing segment provides public
         warehousing space, primarily for commercial and
         industrial dry good products.  Corporate headquarters
         expenses were primarily for insurance premiums, audit
         and legal fees, investor relations, travel, voice
         and data communications and salaries.  The corporate
         headquarters staff is comprised of four persons,
         including the officers of the Company.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Kinark's consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2000 were
$10,921,000, a decrease of 2.0% from $11,145,000 for the first quarter of
1999, due to marginally lower revenues at all of its business units.
Galvanizing tonnage for the first quarter of 2000 was up 8.2% over the
prior year but lower average selling prices more than offset the growth
from increased volume.  The Company believes current price levels for
hot dip galvanizing have, for the most part, stabilized following a
year-long trend of downward adjustment.  Lower product throughput and storage
activity at the Company's chemical storage and warehousing segments reflects
excess storage capacity generally prevailing in the Chicago-area markets.

     Kinark reported a net loss of $160,000 for the first quarter of 2000, or
$.02 per share, which includes a pretax charge of $313,000 for costs
associated with the failure of a galvanizing kettle.  Net income for the
same period in 1999 was $241,000, or $.04 per share.  Operating income for
the first quarter of 2000, before the special kettle charge, was $239,000
compared to operating earnings of $597,000 for the first quarter of 1999.  The
reduction in operating earnings primarily reflects lower segment sales for the
first quarter of 2000, combined with higher operating expenses for rent
in the chemical storage segment, and higher depreciation in galvanizing
due to prior plant additions.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the first
quarter of 2000 decreased 10.3% to $1,593,000 from $1,776,000 in the first
quarter of 1999, reflecting year-to-year reductions in corporate staff and
improved collections of accounts receivable.

     Net interest expense for the first quarter of 2000 increased 21.1% to
$212,000 from $175,000 in the same quarter of 1999, due primarily to increased
borrowing for current working capital requirements.  The Company's effective
income tax rate for the first quarter of 2000 was 44.0% compared to 42.9% for
the same period in 1999.  The rates were higher than federal statutory rates
primarily due to non-deductible amortization of goodwill and state income
taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     For the first quarter of 2000, the Company's operating activities used
cash of $137,000, compared to generating cash of $1,288,000 in the first
quarter of 1999, resulting in a quarter-to-quarter reduction of $1,425,000 in
cash generated.  Approximately 28% of this reduction is due to lower
earnings reported for the first quarter of 2000, and the remainder primarily
reflects an increase in net working capital at the galvanizing segment.  The
Company plans to lower its current inventory of zinc used in the galvanizing
process over the remainder of 2000, which is expected to have the effect of
generating cash.

     In the first quarter of 2000, the Company obtained $9,050,000 from the
issuance of tax-exempt industrial revenue bonds, the use of which is
restricted for constructing a new galvanizing plant.  The Company's other
financing activities in the first quarter of

                                  13

2000 included making payments of $5,414,000 on long-term obligations and
receiving proceeds of $5,392,000 from long-term obligations, for a net
decrease of $22,000 in long-term obligations.  The Company's current credit
facility includes a $9,000,000 revolving line of credit under a bank credit
agreement that expires September 30, 2002.  The Company's availability under
the revolver was $1,654,000 in March 31, 2000.  The Company believes it has
the ability to generate cash and/or has available credit facilities to meet
its foreseeable needs for working capital and planned capital expenditures.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES

     As previously reported, NAG was notified in 1997 by  the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency ("IEPA") that it was a potentially responsible
party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Information System (CERCLIS) in connection with cleanup of an
abandoned site formerly owned by Sandoval Zinc Co.  The IEPA notice includes
NAG as one of 59 organizations which arranged for the treatment and disposal
of hazardous substances at Sandoval.  Based on current information and the
preliminary stage of investigation, NAG's share of any probable future costs
cannot be estimated at this time.

     In October 1999, Lake River received notice from a customer of a claim
for approximately $972,000 to recover costs arising from Lake River's alleged
shipment of the wrong product in May 1999.  At March 31, 2000, the Company and
its insurance carrier had not made a final determination of the amount of the
claim, nor assessed the potential joint responsibility of the several parties
involved.  Although the ultimate amount of the claim and apportionment of
responsibility is not determinable at this time, Lake River recorded a reserve
of $25,000 in 1999 for the self-insurance retention under its insurance
policy.

     At March 31, 2000, NAG had an unresolved insurance claim arising from the
failure of a galvanizing kettle during 1999.  A major part of the claim
resulted from additional costs incurred to galvanize product at an alternate
NAG location in order to meet delivery commitments.  NAG took a charge of
$176,000 to other expense in the final quarter of 1999 for the net book value
of the kettle and related costs incurred in 1999, net of interim insurance
proceeds.  Due to the uncertainty of the timing and amount of future insurance
recoveries, NAG took an additional charge of $313,000 during the first quarter
of 2000.

     The Company's facilities are subject to extensive environmental
legislation and regulations affecting their operations and the discharge of
wastes.  The cost of compliance with such regulations was approximately
$250,000 in the first quarter of both 2000 and 1999, with the disposal and
recycling of waste acids generated by the galvanizing operations representing
the major expenditure in this area.  NAG operates on-site sulphuric acid
recovery systems at three of its galvanizing plants, and plans to continue
using hydrochloric acid at its other galvanizing plants.  Environmentally
related expenditures at Lake River represent a relatively small percentage of
the Company's total cost.  The majority of waste disposal costs at Lake River
are incurred on behalf of its customers and are reimbursable.

     The Company is committed to complying with all federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations and using its best management practices to
anticipate and satisfy future requirements.  As is typical in the galvanizing
and chemicals businesses, the Company will have additional environmental
compliance costs associated with past, present, and future operations.
Management

                                   14

has committed resources to discovering and eliminating environmental issues as
they arise.  Because of the frequent changes in environmental technology, laws
and regulations management cannot reasonably attempt to quantify the Company's
potential costs in this area.

                                   15


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Kinark's current operations include managing market risks related to
changes in interest rates and zinc commodity prices.

     INTEREST RATE RISK.  Kinark is exposed to financial market risk related
to changing interest rates.  Changing interest rates will affect interest paid
on Kinark's variable rate debt. At March 31, 2000, $9,804,000 was outstanding
under the credit agreement with an effective rate of 8.25% and $9,050,000 was
outstanding under the bond agreement with an effective rate of 5.25% (see
Note 5 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).  The borrowings are
due as follows: $723,000 in 2000, $1,346,000 in 2001, $8,885,000 in 2002 and
$7,900,000 in years 2003 through 2012. Each increase of 10 basis points in
the effective interest rate would result in an annual increase in interest
charges of approximately $18,900 based on March 31, 2000 outstanding
borrowings.  The actual effect of changes in interest rates is dependent on
actual amounts outstanding which vary under the revolving credit facility.
The Company monitors interest rates and has sufficient flexibility to
renegotiate the loan agreement, without penalty, in the event market
conditions and interest rates change.

     ZINC PRICE RISK.  NAG enters into purchase commitments with domestic and
foreign zinc producers to purchase certain of its zinc requirements for its
hot dip galvanizing operations.  Commitments for the future delivery of zinc
reflect rates quoted on the London Metals Exchange which are not subject to
future price adjustment.  At March 31, 2000, the aggregate commitments for the
procurement of zinc were approximately $3.7 million, to cover 56% of NAG's
estimated requirements for the remainder of 2000.  Management believes this
zinc procurement program ensures adequate supplies of zinc and stable gross
margins from its galvanizing operations.  With respect to the zinc purchase
commitments, a potential decrease of 10% in the market price of zinc from the
March 31, 2000 level would cause a lost gross margin opportunity of
approximately $370,000.  However, a favorable impact of a similar amount would
result from the same hypothetical price movement on the 44% requirements
satisfied by short-term spot purchases of zinc not yet committed.
