              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          (THOUSANDS OF U.S. DOLLARS)
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
 
For purposes of this report the "Company" refers to Euramax International plc
and Subsidiaries, collectively.
 
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In the opinion of the management of the
Company, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein. All
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed.
Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair
presentation of results of operations, financial position and cash flows. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the year-end consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26,
1997. Operating results for the period ended March 28, 1998, are not necessarily
indicative of future results that may be expected for the year ending December
25, 1998.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
 
Effective December 27, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. SFAS No.
130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components in the financial statements. Prior periods have been
reclassified to reflect the adoption of this standard. The adoption of SFAS No.
130 has no material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations,
financial position or cash flows. Comprehensive income equals net income plus
other comprehensive income. For the quarters ended March 28, 1998, and March 29,
1997, comprehensive income was approximately $1,255 and $2,895, respectively.
Other comprehensive income refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses which
are reflected in stockholders' equity but excluded from net income. For the
Company, the components of other comprehensive income are principally foreign
currency translation adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments.
Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, was approximately ($164) and $290
for the quarters ended March 28, 1998, and March 29, 1997, respectively. The
statement requires that total comprehensive income be reported for interim
periods but does not require disclosure of the components of other comprehensive
income for interim periods.
 
For information regarding other significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December
26, 1997, set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
The Company has entered into several non-cancelable long-term contracts for the
purchase of aluminum at market values. The aluminum contracts expire at various
times through 1999. Contracted amounts of aluminum are less than the Company's
anticipated requirements.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries are not currently parties to any pending legal
proceedings other than such proceedings as are incidental to its business.
Management believes that such proceedings would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole.
 
The Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits or as a potentially
responsible party in state and Federal administrative and judicial proceedings
seeking contribution for costs associated with the investigation, analysis,
correction and remediation of environmental conditions at various hazardous
waste disposal sites. The Company continues to monitor these actions and
proceedings and to vigorously defend both its own interests as well as the
interests of its affiliates. The Company's ultimate liability in connection with
present and future environmental claims will depend on many factors, including
its volumetric share of the waste at a given site, the remedial action required,
the total cost of remediation, and the financial viability and participation of
the other entities that also sent waste to the site. Once it becomes probable
that the Company will incur costs in connection with remediation of a site and
such costs can be reasonably estimated, the Company establishes or adjusts its
reserve for its projected share of these costs. Based upon current law and
information known to the Company concerning the size of the sites known to it,
anticipated costs, their years of operations and the number of other potentially
responsible parties, management believes that it has adequate reserves for the
Company's potential share of the estimated aggregate liability for the costs of
remedial actions and related costs and expenses. In addition, the Company
establishes reserves for remedial measures required from time to time at its own
facilities. Management believes that the reasonably probable outcomes of these
matters will not materially exceed established reserves and will not have a
material impact on the future financial position, net earnings or cash flows of
the Company. The Company's reserves, expenditures and expenses for all
environmental exposures were not significant for any of the dates or periods
presented.
 
In connection with the acquisition of the Company from Alumax Inc. on September
25, 1996, the Company was indemnified by Alumax for substantially all of its
costs, if any, related to environmental matters for occurrences arising prior to
the closing date of the acquisition during the period of time it was owned
directly or indirectly by Alumax. Such indemnification includes costs that may
ultimately be incurred to contribute to the remediation of certain specified
existing National Priorities List ("NPL") sites for which the Company had been
named a potentially responsible party under the federal Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") as of the
closing date of the Acquisition, as well as certain potential costs for sites
listed on state hazardous cleanup lists. With respect to all other environmental
matters, Alumax's obligations are limited to $125.0 million. However,
notwithstanding the indemnity, the Company does not believe that it has any
significant probable liability for environmental claims. Further, the Company
believes it to be unlikely that the Company would be required to bear
environmental costs in excess of its pro rata share of such costs as a
potentially responsible party under CERCLA.

5. SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
 
On September 25, 1996, Euramax purchased the Company from Alumax Inc. The
acquisition was financed, in part, through Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006
(the "Notes"). The Notes are primary obligations of Euramax (the "Parent"). The
United Kingdom and Netherlands holding company subsidiaries of Euramax are
co-obligors under the Notes (the "Co-obligors"). The United States holding
company subsidiary of Euramax (the "Guarantor") has provided a full and
unconditional guarantee of the Notes. The following supplemental condensed
combined financial statements as of March 29, 1997 and March 28, 1998 reflect
the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of each of the
Parent, the Co-Obligors and Guarantor entities, and such combined information of
the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. The Co-obligors and the Guarantor are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Euramax and are each jointly, severally, fully, and
unconditionally liable under the Notes. Separate complete financial statements
of each Co-obligor and of the Guarantor are not presented because management has
determined that they are not material to investors.

</TABLE>
 
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 28, 1998 AS COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 29, 1997
 
NET SALES.  Net sales increased 24.6% to $143.1 million for the quarter ended
March 28, 1998, from $114.9 million for the quarter ended March 29, 1997.
Approximately $22.4 million of this increase is attributable to net sales of
Fabral, formerly Gentek Building Products, Inc., which was acquired by the
Company on July 17, 1997. Excluding Fabral, net sales increased 5.0% or $5.8
million. Increases in shipments, attributable to aluminum product shipments to
OEM markets in Europe and metal raincarrying systems shipped to home center
customers in North America, combined to increase net sales for the quarter ended
March 28, 1998, by approximately $12.2 million as compared to net sales for the
quarter ended March 29, 1997. In addition, net sales increased approximately
$6.2 million for sales attributable to Amerimax Laminated Products, Inc.,
formerly JTJ Laminating, Inc., acquired by the Company on March 28, 1997. These
increases were partially offset by (i) weakening of the Dutch Guilder and French
Franc compared to the U.S. Dollar, which reduced net sales approximately $2.1
million and $691,000, respectively, (ii) a $9.4 million decline in sales
attributable to divested subsidiaries in 1997 and (iii) other individually
insignificant occurrences. Net sales in the U.S. increased 31.2% to $84.6
million for the quarter ended March 28, 1998, from $64.5 million for the quarter
ended March 29, 1997. Net sales in Europe increased 16.0% to $58.5 million for
the quarter ended March 28, 1998, from $50.4 million for the quarter ended March
29, 1997.
 
COST OF GOODS SOLD.  Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, increased
3.4% for the three months ended March 28, 1998, from 80.1% in 1997 to 83.5% in
1998. This increase is primarily attributable to sales of a greater percentage
of lower margin product (steel) from the Fabral acquisition ($22.4 million),
partially offset by (i) sales of a greater percentage of higher margin aluminum
products, particularly in Europe, and (ii) an overall improvement in gross
margin attributable to higher sales volume.
 
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 0.9% for the
quarter ended March 28, 1998, from 9.3% in 1997 to 8.4% in 1998. This decrease
is primarily attributable to Fabral, which had lower selling and general
expenses, as a percentage of net sales, than the Company prior to the Fabral
acquisition.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization, as a percentage
of net sales, decreased 0.2% for the quarter ended March 28, 1998, from 2.3% in
1997 to 2.1% in 1998. This decrease was primarily attributable to depreciation
and amortization arising due to divested subsidiaries, as well as an overall
improvement in depreciation expense, as a percentage of sales, as a result of
higher sales volume.
 
EARNINGS FROM OPERATIONS.  For reasons stated above, earnings from operations in
the U.S. decreased to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 1998 from $2.0
million in the first quarter of 1997. Earnings from operations in Europe
decreased to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 28, 1998, from $7.5
million for the three months ended March 29, 1997.
 
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET.  Net interest expense in the three months ended March 28,
1998, increased 7.9% from $5.6 million for the three months ended March 29,
1997, to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 28, 1998. This increase
was due primarily to additional interest as a result of debt incurred for the
Fabral acquisition.
 
OTHER EXPENSES, NET.  Other expenses were not significant for the quarters ended
March 28, 1998 and March 29, 1997.
 
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The effective rate for the provision for income
taxes increased from 32.3% to 41.8% for the three months ended March 29, 1997,
and March 28, 1998, respectively. This increase was primarily due to
non-deductible goodwill arising from acquisitions made in 1997.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
LIQUIDITY.  The Company's primary liquidity needs arise from debt service on
indebtedness incurred in connection with the Acquisition and the funding of
capital expenditures. As of March 28, 1998, the Company had outstanding
indebtedness for borrowed money of $249.9 million, $41.8 million of Preference
Shares and ordinary shareholders' equity of $3.3 million, representing increases
of $5.7 million, $1.4 million and a decrease of $158,000 from December 26, 1997,
respectively. Included in such indebtedness was approximately $114.9 million
under the Company's credit agreement, consisting of $62.8 million under the
Company's term loan and $52.1 million under the Company's revolving credit
facility. The undrawn amount of the revolving credit facility at March 28, 1998,
was approximately $47.9 million, which was available for working capital and
general corporate purposes, subject to borrowing base limitations. As of March
28, 1998, this amount was fully available. The Company's leveraged financial
position requires that a substantial portion of the Company's cash flow from
operations be used to pay interest on the Notes, principal and interest under
the Company's credit agreement and other indebtedness. Further, the Company's
leveraged position may impede its ability to obtain financing in the future for
working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. In
addition, the Company's leveraged position may make it more vulnerable to
economic downturns and may limit its ability to withstand competitive pressures.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations and, subject to
borrowing base limitations, borrowings under the Company's credit agreement will
be adequate to meet its needs for the foreseeable future, although no assurance
to that effect can be given.
 
Principal and interest payments under the credit agreement and interest payments
on the Notes represent significant liquidity requirements for the Company. With
respect to the $62.8 million of term loans, the Company must make scheduled
quarterly principal payments totaling $3.1 million over the remainder of 1998,
$7.8 million in 1999, $4.7 million in 2000, $7.0 million in 2001, $12.4 million
in 2002, $15.9 million in 2003, and $11.9 million in 2004. The term loans and
the revolving credit facility bear interest at floating rates.
 
The Company's primary source of liquidity is funds generated from operations,
which are supplemented by borrowings under the credit agreement. Operations used
cash of $3.5 million in the three months ended March 28, 1998, compared to $3.4
million used in the three months ended March 29, 1997.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.  The Company's capital expenditures were $3.0 million and
$867,000 in the three months ended March 28, 1998, and March 29, 1997,
respectively. Capital expenditures in 1998 include approximately $700,000 for
improvements to paintlines in Helena, Arkansas and Corby, England. The balance
of capital expenditures in both periods primarily relate to purchases and
upgrades of fabricating equipment, transportation and material moving equipment,
and information systems.
 
The Company has made and will continue to make capital expenditures to comply
with Environmental Laws. The Company estimates that its environmental capital
expenditures will be approximately $500,000 in 1998.
 
Management continues to evaluate the effect of the Year 2000 issue on the
Company. Ongoing assessment continues to support preliminary findings that the
total cost of addressing the issue is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT.  Working capital was $100.9 million as of March 28,
1998. Excluding Fabral, working capital was $82.6 million as of March 28, 1998,
compared to $99.9 million as of March 29, 1997. The Company believes that
current levels of working capital represent a liquid source of funds available
for future cash flows. The Company believes that reductions in working capital
can be achieved upon completion of current information systems projects being
undertaken in some of the Company's subsidiaries. The Company believes these
systems will offer distinct advantages in monitoring credit, open receivables
and inventory levels, while enabling centralized ordering and inventory
management. However, there can be no assurance that working capital reductions
will be achieved.
 
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:  The Management's Discussion and
Analysis and other sections of this Form 10-Q may contain forward looking
statements that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections
about the industries in which the Company operates, management's beliefs and
assumptions made by management. Words such as "expects," "anticipates,"
"intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates," variations of such words and
similar expressions are intended to identify such forward looking statements.
These forward looking statements are based on a number of assumptions that could
ultimately prove inaccurate, and, therefore, there can be no assurance that they
will prove to be accurate. All such forward looking statements are subject to
the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Important factors that could cause future financial performance to differ
materially and significantly from past results and from those expressed or
implied in this document include, without limitation, the risks of acquisition
of businesses (including limited knowledge of the businesses acquired and
misrepresentations by sellers), changes in business strategy or development
plans, the cyclical demand for the Company's products, the supply and/or price
of aluminum and other raw materials, currency exchange rate fluctuations,
environmental regulations, availability of financing, competition, reliance on
key management personnel, ability to manage growth, loss of customers, and a
variety of other factors. For further information on these and other risks, see
the "Risk Factors" section of Item 1. of the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 26, 1997, as well as the Company's other
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
