RESTATEMENT DISCLOSURE

Subsequent to the filing of its July 31, 1999 annual report
on Form 10-K, the Company became aware of certain errors that had
been made in the accounting for its worker's compensation
insurance expense over a period of several years. These errors
are detailed in Footnote 17 (Restatement) accompanying this
report.

Item 1. Business

A. General Development of Business

In the decades since its founding, Williams Industries,
Incorporated (the Company) has been a leader in the construction
services market, providing specialized services to customers in
the commercial, industrial, institutional, and governmental
markets. These services are provided by operating subsidiaries
whose main lines of business include: steel, precast concrete and
miscellaneous metals erection and installation; crane rental,
heavy and specialized hauling and rigging; fabrication of welded
steel plate girders, rolled steel beams, and light structural and
other metal products; and the sale of insurance, safety and
related services.

The structure of the Company has not varied greatly in recent
years with Greenway Corporation, Piedmont Metal Products, Inc.,
Williams Bridge Company, Williams Equipment Corporation, and
Williams Steel Erection Company, Inc. providing the bulk of the
Company's revenue and opportunities for growth. Their efforts
are augmented by Construction Insurance Agency, Inc., Insurance
Risk Management Group, Inc., and WII Realty Management, which
provide necessary services for their sister companies as well as
outside customers. The parent holding company, Williams
Industries, Inc. provides a number of services for all of the
subsidiaries as well as dealing with outside audiences such as
financial institutions, shareholders, and governmental regulatory
agencies.

However, in keeping with the Company's comprehensive long-
range plan, strategic refinements to the operating subsidiaries
and overall corporate structure occur as business conditions
merit. The Company's acquisition of controlling interest in
S.I.P. Inc. of Delaware, a transaction that occurred shortly after
the close of Fiscal Year 2000, is viewed as a strategic move that
will allow the Company to grow its revenues, product offerings and
geographic base with a minimal capital outlay. S.I.P.'s
financial results will be consolidated with the Company's in the
first quarter of Fiscal Year 2001.

B. Financial Information About Industry Segments

The Company's activities are divided into four broad
categories: (1) Construction, which includes industrial,
commercial and governmental construction, and the construction,
repair and rehabilitation of bridges (2) Manufacturing, which
includes the fabrication of metal products; (3) Sales and
Services, which includes the rental, sale and service of heavy
construction equipment as well as construction services such as
rigging; and (4) Other, which includes insurance operations and
parent company transactions with unaffiliated parties. Financial
information about these segments is contained in Note 12 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table
sets forth the percentage of total revenue attributable to these
categories for the years ended July 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998:

Fiscal Year Ended July 31,
--------------------------
2000 1999 1998
---- ---- ----
Construction . . . . . . . . . . . 30% 28% 37%
Manufacturing. . . . . . . . . . . . 50% 49% 35%
Sales and Services . . . . . . . . . 19% 22% 25%
Other. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1% 1% 3%

This mix has changed over the years as the Company continues
to organize its business into the most profitable configuration
possible. The percentages of total revenue will continue to
change as market conditions or new business opportunities warrant.


C. Narrative Description of Business


1. Construction

The Company specializes in structural steel erection, the
installation of architectural, ornamental and miscellaneous metal
products, and the installation of precast and prestressed concrete
products.

The Company owns a wide variety of construction equipment,
which is used to perform its contracts in a timely fashion. Labor
generally is obtained in the area where the particular project is
located; however, labor in the construction segment has been in
tremendous demand in recent years and shortages have occurred.
The Company has developed a number of outreach programs, including
an apprenticeship program as well as language training
opportunities, to make employment with the Company more
attractive. Because of these programs, the Company believes it
may have a slight competitive edge over other companies facing
similar hiring difficulties.

In the construction segment, the Company requires few raw
materials, such as steel or concrete, since these are generally
furnished by and are the responsibility of the firm that hires the
Company to provide the construction services.

The primary basis on which the Company is awarded
construction contracts is price, since most projects are awarded
on the basis of competitive bidding. While there are numerous
competitors for commercial and industrial construction in the
Company's geographic areas, the Company remains as one of the
larger and more diversified companies in its areas of operations.

Although revenue derived from any particular customer has
fluctuated significantly in recent years, no single customer has
accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenue in Fiscal Year
2000. This was also the case in Fiscal 1999, but for the year
ended July 31, 1998, one customer accounted for 10.4% of
consolidated revenue and 23.6% of the construction revenue.

A portion of the Company's work is subject to termination for
convenience clauses in favor of the local, state, or federal
government entities who contracted for the work in which the
Company is involved. The law generally gives local, state, and
federal government entities the right to terminate contracts, for
a variety of reasons, and such rights are made applicable to
government purchasing by operation of law. While the Company
rarely contracts directly with such government entities, such
termination for convenience clauses are incorporated in the
Company's contracts by "flow down" clauses whereby the Company
stands in the shoes of its customers. The Company has not
experienced any such terminations in recent years, and because the
Company is not dependent upon any one customer or project,
management feels that any risk associated with performing work for
governmental entities are minimal.

a. Steel Construction

The Company engages in the installation of structural and
other steel products for a variety of buildings, bridges,
highways, industrial facilities, power generating plants and other
structures.

Most of the Company's steel construction revenue is received
on projects where the Company is a subcontractor to a material
supplier (generally a steel fabricator) or another contractor.
When the Company acts as the steel erection subcontractor, it is
invited to bid by the firm that needs the steel construction
services. Consequently, customer relations are important. During
Fiscal 2000, three customers comprised approximately 55% of
construction revenues.

The Company operates its steel erection business primarily in
the Mid-Atlantic region, with emphasis on the corridor between
Baltimore, Maryland and Norfolk, Virginia.

b. Concrete Construction

The Company erects structural precast and prestressed
concrete for various structures, such as multi-storied parking
facilities and processing facilities, and erects the concrete
architectural facades for buildings. The concrete erection
service generates its revenue from contracts with non-affiliated
customers, and the business is not dependent upon any particular
customer.


2. Manufacturing

The Company's fabricated products include steel plate girders
used in the construction of bridges and other projects, and light
structural metal products. In its manufacturing segment, the
Company obtains raw materials from a variety of sources on a
competitive basis and is not dependent on any one source of
supply.

Facilities in this segment are predominately open shop.
Management believes that its labor relations in this segment are
good.

Competition in this segment, based on price, quality and
service, is intense. Revenue derived from any particular customer
fluctuates significantly from year to year. In Fiscal 1998, no
single customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated
revenue. In Fiscal 1999, one customer accounted for 19.9% of
consolidated revenue and 40.8% of manufacturing revenue. In
Fiscal 2000, one customer accounted for about 25% of manufacturing
revenue.

a. Steel Manufacturing

The Company, through its subsidiary, Williams Bridge Company,
has two plants for the fabrication of steel plate girders and
other components used in the construction, repair and
rehabilitation of highway bridges and grade separations.

One of these plants, located in Manassas, Virginia, is a
large heavy plate girder fabrication facility and contains a main
fabrication shop, ancillary shops and offices totaling
approximately 46,000 square feet, together with rail siding.

The other plant, located on 17 acres in Richmond, Virginia,
is a full service fabrication facility and contains a main
fabrication shop, ancillary shops and offices totaling
approximately 128,000 square feet.

Both facilities have internal and external handling
equipment, modern fabrication equipment, large storage and
assembly areas and are American Institute of Steel Construction,
Category III, Fracture Critical Bridge Shops.

All facilities are in good repair and designed for the uses
to which they are applied. Since virtually all production at these
facilities is for specific contracts rather than for inventory or
general sales, utilization can vary from time to time.

b. Light Structural Metal Products

The Company's subsidiary, Piedmont Metal Products,
fabricates light structural metal products at a Company-owned
facility in Bedford, Virginia. For the past several years,
Piedmont has made major improvements and expansion to its
facilities to enhance its manufacturing capabilities, as well as
its ability to finish product in inclement weather. The
subsidiary has also received American Institute of Steel
Construction, Category I certification, which will allow the
subsidiary to bid to a wider variety of customers, most notably
federal government procurement officers.

3. Sales and Services

The rental and sale of construction equipment and the rigging
and installation of equipment for utility and industrial
facilities is another major component of the Company. The Company
owns or leases a wide variety of construction equipment, used not
only by "in-house" companies for steel and precast concrete
erection and the transportation of manufactured materials, but
also by outside customers for a number of diverse applications.

a. Rigging and Installation of Equipment

Much of the equipment and machinery used by utilities and
other industrial concerns is so cumbersome that its installation
and preparation for use, and, to some extent, its maintenance,
requires installation equipment and skills not economically
feasible for those users to acquire and maintain. The Company's
construction equipment, personnel and experience are well suited
for such tasks, and the Company contracts for and performs those
services. Since management believes that the demand for these
services, particularly by utilities, is relatively stable
throughout business cycles, it is aggressively pursuing the
expansion of this phase of its construction services.

b. Equipment Rental and Sales

The Company requires a wide range of heavy construction
equipment in its construction business, but not all of the
equipment is in use at all times. To maximize its return on
investment in equipment, the Company rents equipment to
unaffiliated parties to the extent possible. Operating margins
from rentals are attractive because the direct cost of renting is
relatively low.

The Company's equipment rental subsidiaries maintain
extensive fleets of heavy equipment, including cranes, tractors
and trailers. Because of operational, maintenance and safety
issues, the Company routinely reviews its fleets to determine
whether or not components need to be updated or replaced.

4. Other

a. General

All segments of the Company are influenced by adverse weather
conditions, although the manufacturing subsidiaries are less
subject to delays for inclement weather than are the construction
components. The ability to acquire raw materials and to ship
finished product is, nevertheless, impacted by extreme weather.
It is also possible that manufacturing segment may have product
ready to ship, but inclement weather could have caused delays in
construction timetables that require adjustments by the
manufacturing companies. Because of the cyclicality and
seasonality prevalent in the Company's business, higher revenue
typically is recorded in the first (August through October) and
fourth (May through July) fiscal quarters when the weather
conditions are generally more favorable. This, however, was not
the case in Fiscal Year 2000 as the third (February through April)
quarter was extremely good for all of the Company's subsidiaries.
The combination of good weather and tremendous demand in the
construction industry coincided to allow the Company to produce
strong results in this quarter.

Management is not aware of any environmental regulations that
materially impact the Company's capital expenditures, earnings or
competitive position. Compliance with Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) requirements may, on occasion,
increase short-term costs (although in the long-term, compliance
may actually reduce costs through workers' compensation savings);
however, since compliance is required industry wide, the Company
is not at a competitive disadvantage, and the costs are built into
the Company's normal bidding procedures.

The Company employs between 250 and 500 employees, many
employed on an hourly basis for specific projects, the actual
number varying with the seasons and timing of contracts. At July
31, 2000, the Company had 361 employees.

b. Insurance

Liability Coverage

Primary liability coverage for the Company and its
subsidiaries is provided by a policy of insurance with limits of
$1,000,000 and a $2,000,000 aggregate. The Company also carries
an "umbrella" policy that provides limits of $5,000,000 excess of
the primary. The primary policy has a $10,000 deductible. If
additional coverage is required on a specific project, the Company
makes those purchases.

Workers' Compensation Coverage

The Company has a "loss sensitive" workers' compensation
insurance program, the terms of which are negotiated by the
Company on a year-to-year basis. The Company accrues workers'
compensation insurance expense based on estimates of its costs
under the program.

Because of the dangerous nature of its business, the Company
maintains an aggressive safety inspection and training program,
designed not only to provide a safe work place for employees but
also to minimize difficulties for employees, their families and
the Company should an accident occur.

5. Backlog Disclosure

As of July 31, 2000, the Company's backlog was approximately
$35 million, as compared to $35.9 million as of July 31, 1999 and
$21.7 million as of July 31, 1998.


Item 2. Properties

At July 31, 2000, the Company owned approximately 82 acres of
industrial property, some of which currently is not developed but
may be used for future expansion. Approximately 39 acres are
near Manassas, in Prince William County, Virginia; 17 acres are in
Richmond, Virginia; and 26 acres in Bedford, in Virginia's
Piedmont section between Lynchburg and Roanoke.

The Company owns numerous large cranes, tractors and trailers
and other equipment. Management believes the equipment is in good
condition and is well maintained. During Fiscal Year 2000, the
Company continued to upgrade its fleet, both with new and used
equipment. Expenditures for such equipment totaled $1.2 million
in Fiscal Year 2000. The availability of used equipment at
attractive prices varies primarily with the construction industry
business cycle.


Item 3. Legal Proceedings

General

The Company is party to various claims arising in the
ordinary course of its business. Generally, claims exposure in
the construction services industry consists of employment claims
of various types of workers compensation, personal injury,
products' liability and property damage. The Company believes
that its insurance accruals, coupled with its liability coverage,
is adequate coverage for such claims.



Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders


No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of the
fiscal year covered by this report to a vote of security holders.

current best utilization for cash is in the further development of
its business units and strategic expansion. Further, there are
certain covenants in the Company's current credit agreements that
prohibit cash dividends without the lenders' permission.

At September 22, 2000, there were 482 holders of record of
the Common Stock.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

General

Williams Industries, Inc. is the parent organization for
seven subsidiaries that provide specialized services and products
for the construction industry. The amount of commercial,
institutional, and governmental construction activity in the Mid-
Atlantic region, where the Company focuses its efforts, has been
higher than many other regions in recent years. For the Fiscal
Year Ended July 31, 2000, the Company produced a 28% increase in
revenue by virtue of the increased demand for its services and
products. While most of the Company's construction activities
are focused in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia,
products fabricated in the Company's manufacturing facilities are
shipped well beyond the region.

The subsidiaries of Williams Industries, Inc. operate in the
commercial, industrial, governmental and infrastructure
construction markets with the operating components divided into
construction, manufacturing, and sales and service segments. The
services provided include: steel, precast concrete and
miscellaneous metals erection and installation; crane rental,
heavy and specialized hauling and rigging; fabrication of welded
steel plate girders, rolled steel beams, "stay-in-place" bridge
decking, and light structural and other metal products; and the
sale of insurance, safety and related services.

In August 2000, the Company announced the acquisition of
controlling interest in S.I.P., Inc. of Delaware (S.I.P.).
S.I.P. manufactures "stay-in-place" metal decking. This
acquisition is only one way the Company intends to increase its
market share in existing geographic areas of business, as well as
expanding core business lines. S.I.P.'s results will be
consolidated in financial statements beginning August 1, 2000.

While management anticipates significant growth in the next
four to five years in the Company's manufacturing segment due to
increased governmental demand for highway projects, significant
opportunities are also occurring in commercial, industrial and
institutional construction markets.

Like others in the construction industry, the Company has
experienced difficulties in hiring and retaining qualified
personnel to meet the demand for its services. In order to meet
this challenge, the Company has developed a close working
relationship with the Virginia Council of Churches, which helps
sponsor and train refugee workers in various trades. The Company
is also working with the Virginia Department of Labor to
transition workers from companies that are downsizing to
appropriate positions in the Company's geographically diverse
subsidiaries.

The Company continues to benefit from the synergistic efforts
of its subsidiaries. The combination of manufacturing,
construction, and heavy hauling and lifting capabilities have
allowed the Company to offer a turnkey approach for its customers,
thereby increasing its competitiveness on some contracts.

The Company is continuing its program of capital
improvements, both in terms of equipment and physical facilities.
Although a portion of Fiscal Year 2000 expenditures was for new
offices at one subsidiary, the bulk of the expenditures relate to
revenue producing equipment such as cranes or upgraded
manufacturing facilities.


Financial Condition

Each of the Company's operating subsidiaries had increased
revenues for the twelve months ended July 31, 2000, resulting in
an overall revenue increase of more than $9 million or 28%.
Total corporate earnings before income taxes also increased by
$815,000 or 54%.

Direct costs, when viewed as a percentage of revenue,
increased in all areas. A considerable portion of the increase
was generated by labor costs, frequently related to overtime
necessary to keep major projects on schedule. Although this
problem has been mitigated by an aggressive hiring and training
program, the hiring, training and retention of qualified employees
remains a significant difficulty throughout the construction
industry.

Accounts receivable increased by nearly 15%. However, in
keeping with the increased receivables, the Company also increased
its allowance for doubtful accounts from $1,289,000 at July 31,
1999 to $2,862,000 at July 31, 2000. A portion of this increase
relates to contract negotiations and matters which management
believes may go to litigation prior to being resolved.

Due to the high volume of work produced during the year,
inventory declined, most specifically in the steel plate used by
the Company's manufacturing subsidiaries. Management does not
believe that replacing the inventory as needed will present a
problem because, due to the Company's improved financial
situation, a number of potential suppliers are available and
competing for the Company's business.

Bonding

The Company has a comprehensive bonding program with The
Mountbatten Surety Company, Inc. This program is believed to be
more than sufficient for the Company's needs. In addition to
this program, the Company has in excess of $6 million for a
specific job bonded with another underwriter. Although the
Company's ability to bond work is more than adequate, the Company
has traditionally relied on its superior reputation to acquire
work and will continue to do so. However, the Company recognizes
that, as it expands its geographic range for providing goods and
services, it will be necessary to provide bonds to clients
unfamiliar with the Company. This is not anticipated to present a
problem going forward.

Liquidity

The Company's operations require significant amounts of
working capital to procure materials for contracts to be performed
over relatively long periods, and for purchases and modifications
of specialized equipment. Furthermore, in accordance with normal
payment terms, the Company's customers often will retain a portion
of amounts otherwise payable to the Company during the course of a
project as a guarantee of completion of that project. To the
extent the Company is unable to receive project payments in the
early stages of a project, the Company's cash flow could be
adversely reduced.

As a result of the increased activity discussed elsewhere in
this document, the Company has been using cash to purchase
materials, equipment and other "start-up" costs associated with
manufacturing and construction lead times. Nevertheless, for the
year ended July 31, 2000, the Company's operating activities
provided net cash and cash equivalents of more than $1.4 million.

The Company made $932,000 in expenditures for property, plant
and equipment, and had proceeds of $431,000 from the sale of other
property, plant and equipment items. It should be noted that the
Company continues its previously reported trend of updating its
equipment assets, primarily though operating leases. Management
believes that cost efficient leasing instead of more traditional
buying and/or borrowing offers cash flow and balance sheet
advantages.

Financing activities, however, used net cash as the Company
repaid notes payable of $4,477,000 while only borrowing $3,891,000
in replacement financing, which was obtained at rates favorable to
the Company.

Management closely monitors cash needs to ensure that
adequate liquidity is maintained and that existing lines of credit
are used to the overall best advantage of the corporation.
Management is also monitoring the impact of inflation on its
costs, primarily in the area of major equipment purchases, and, to
a lesser extent, labor costs. Since the contracts on which the
Company bids are in most cases performed in the short term, the
Company generally has been successful in taking inflation in
account when structuring its bids.

Management believes that operations will generate sufficient
cash to fund activities. However, as revenues increase, it may
become necessary to increase the Company's credit facilities to
handle short-term cash requirements. Management, therefore, is
focusing on the proper allocation of resources to ensure stable
growth. Certain items that are not easily leased are being
obtained through capitalized loans, which then become part of the
Company's real property.


Operations

Each of the Company's subsidiaries has benefited from the
increased demand for their products and services in all the
Company's traditional market areas, as well as from the continuing
strengthened financial condition of the parent corporation.

Due to the tight demand for labor, both in the field and the
administrative offices, the subsidiaries are often sharing
personnel.

This synergy, coupled with relatively mild weather conditions
in the Company's traditional geographic work areas, lead to the
28% revenue increase shown on the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Earnings.


1. Fiscal Year 2000 Compared to Fiscal Year 1999

Total revenue, based on the same number of operating
subsidiaries as the prior year, increased by more than 28% when
Fiscal 2000's revenue of $42,876,000 is compared to the
$33,379,000 produced in Fiscal 1999. Costs rose proportionally to
revenue, with the greatest increase in both revenue and costs
occurring in the manufacturing subsidiaries.

The $815,000 increase in earnings before income taxes, equity
earnings and minority interests from the $1,511,000 in Fiscal 1999
to the $2,326,000 in Fiscal 2000, was due to increased revenue and
gross profit and, in part, to a reduction in workers' compensation
expense for Fiscal 2000 resulting from an excellent safety record.

One of the most significant differences between Fiscal 2000
and Fiscal 1999 is the difference between the income tax provision
of $892,000 for Fiscal 2000 as compared to the $2,000,000 benefit
for Fiscal 1999. This delta of nearly $3 million is a major
factor in explaining the difference in the Company's net earnings
of $1,487,000 for Fiscal 2000 and $3,406,000 for Fiscal 1999.
Although the Company has significant net operating loss
carryforwards (NOLs), all of the benefits from these tax loss
carryforwards were recorded as a reduction in the company's
deferred tax asset valuation allowance in years prior to Fiscal
2000 due to management's estimate that it was more likely than not
that the benefits would be realized. Note 8 in the accompanying
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contains additional
information on this topic.


2. Fiscal Year 1999 Compared to Fiscal Year 1998

The difference of Fiscal Year 1999 results compared to those
of Fiscal Year 1998 is due to a combination of factors. Some
comparisons, such as those of revenue of $33,379,000 for the year
ended July 31, 1999 compared to $28,904,000 for the year ended
July 31, 1998, are straightforward. It is obvious that the
manufacturing segment had a significantly greater amount of work
in Fiscal Year 1999 than it did in Fiscal Year 1998.

However, comparing the net earnings of $3,406,000 for the
year ended July 31, 1999 to the net earnings of $1,800,000 for the
year ended July 31, 1998 requires detailed analysis into the
composition of the numbers.

In Fiscal Year 1999, the Company recognized a net tax
benefit of $2,000,000 compared to a net tax benefit of only
$343,000 for Fiscal Year 1998. (See Note 8 in the accompanying
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements").

The Company's equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated
affiliates also varied significantly between the years. During
the year ended July 31, 1998, the Company recognized a $800,000
write-down in its investment in a former unconsolidated affiliate,
Atlas Machine and Iron Works, due to the liquidation of Atlas's
assets by its secured creditor.

In contrast, Fiscal Year 1999's results were reduced by an
extraordinary loss of $192,000 on extinguishment of debt while
Fiscal Year 1998's results were enhanced by a $928,000 gain on
extinguishment of debt. The 1999 extraordinary loss was a result
of the Company closing a loan agreement with United Bank that
significantly changed the structure of the Company's notes
payable. The agreement allowed the Company to retire obligations
to CIT Group/Credit Finance, Inc. and to BB&T (formerly Franklin
National Bank), as well as pay the costs and expenses associated
with the closing. The new agreement, however, results in a
significant long-term reduction in interest expense. The 1998
extraordinary gain, by contrast, of $928,000 was the result of the
reversal of accounts payable in two closed subsidiaries.



Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk

Williams Industries, Inc. uses fixed and variable rate notes
payable, a tax-exempt bond issue, and a vendor credit facility to
finance its operations. These on-balance sheet financial
instruments, to the extent they provide for variable rates of
interest, expose the Company to interest rate risk, with the
primary interest rate exposure resulting from changes in the prime
rates or Industrial Revenue Bond (IRB) rate used to determine the
interest rates that are applicable to borrowings under the
Company's vendor credit facility and tax exempt bond.

The information below summarizes Williams Industries, Inc.'s
sensitivity to market risks associated with fluctuations in
interest rates as of July 31, 2000. To the extent that the
Company's financial instruments expose the Company to interest
rate risk, they are presented in the table below. The table
presents principal cash flows and related interest rates by year
of maturity of the Company's credit facility and tax-exempt bond
in effect at July 31, 2000. Notes 7 and 14 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements contain descriptions of the Company's credit
facility and tax exempt bond and should be read in conjunction
with the table below.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE


The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is composed
of three outside directors. Its primary function is to oversee
the Company's system of internal controls, financial reporting
practices and audits to determine that their quality, integrity
and objectivity are sufficient to protect stockholder interests.

The Audit Committee met three times during Fiscal 2000 to
review the overall audit scope, plans and results of the
independent auditors, the Company's internal controls,
emerging accounting issues, expenses, and audit fees. The
Committee met separately without management present and with
the independent auditors to discuss the audit. The Committee
reviewed the Company's annual financial statements prior to
issuance. Audit Committee findings are reported to the full
Board of Directors.

The Audit Committee is satisfied that the internal control
system is adequate and that the Company employs appropriate
accounting and auditing procedures.

WILLIAMS INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED
JULY 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business - Williams Industries, Incorporated operates in the
commercial, industrial, institutional, governmental and
infrastructure construction markets, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic
region of the United States.

The Company's main lines of business include: steel, precast
concrete and miscellaneous metals erection and installation; crane
rental, heavy and specialized hauling and rigging; fabrication of
welded steel plate girders, rolled steel beams, and light
structural and other metal products; and the sale of insurance,
safety and related services.

Basis of Consolidation - The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Williams Industries, Inc. and
all of its majority-owned subsidiaries (the "Company").

All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

Unconsolidated Affiliates - The Company's 42.5% ownership
interest in S.I.P., Inc. of Delaware is accounted for using the
equity method. Under the equity method, original investments are
recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company's share of
distributions and undistributed earnings and losses of the
investee. The cost method of accounting was used for the Company's
36.6% ownership interest in Atlas Machine & Iron Works, Inc.
("Atlas") since the Company could not exert significant influence
over Atlas's operating and financial policies (See Note 9).

Estimates - The preparation of 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 disclosures 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
those estimates.

Depreciation and Amortization - Property and equipment are
recorded at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful
lives of the assets using the straight-line method of depreciation
for financial statement purposes, with estimated lives of 25 years
for buildings and 3 to 12 years for equipment, vehicles, tools,
furniture and fixtures. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
the lesser of 10 years or the remaining term of the lease.
Straight-line and accelerated methods of depreciation are used for
income tax purposes.

Ordinary maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense
as incurred while major renewals and improvements are capitalized.
Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost
and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective
accounts and any gain or loss is recognized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - In accordance with SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," the Company evaluates the
potential impairment of long-lived assets based on projections of
undiscounted cash flows whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value amount of an asset
may not be fully recoverable. Management believes no material
impairment of its assets exists at July 31, 2000.

Earnings Per Common Share - "Earnings Per Common Share-Basic"
is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the year. "Earnings Per Common Share-Diluted" is based on
the shares outstanding and the weighted average of commitments to
issue stock, which may include convertible debentures, stock
options, or grants.

Revenue Recognition - Revenues and earnings from long-term
contracts are recognized for financial statement purposes using
the percentage-of-completion method; therefore, revenue includes
that percentage of the total contract price that the cost of the
work completed to date bears to the estimated final cost of the
contract. Estimated contract earnings are reviewed and revised
periodically as the work progresses, and the cumulative effect of
any change in estimate is recognized in the period in which the
estimate changes. When a loss is anticipated on a contract, the
entire amount of the loss is provided for in the current period.
Contract claims are recorded at estimated net realizable value
(See Note 2).

Revenues and earnings on non-contract activities are
recognized when services are provided or goods delivered.

Overhead - Overhead includes the variable, non-direct costs
such as shop salaries, consumable supplies, and vehicle and
equipment costs incurred to support the revenue generating
activities of the Company.

Inventories - Inventories consist of materials, expendable
equipment and tools, and supplies. Materials inventory consists
of structural steel, metal decking, and steel cable. Expendable
tools and equipment, and supplies consist of goods which are
consumed on projects. Costs of materials inventory is accounted
for using either the specific identification method or average
cost. Cost of expendable equipment and tools is accounted for
using average costs. The cost of supplies inventory is accounted
for using the first-in, first-out, (FIFO) method.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Allowances for
uncollectible accounts and notes receivable are provided on the
basis of specific identification.

Income Taxes - Williams Industries, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, which are at least eighty percent owned by the
parent, file a consolidated Federal income tax return. The
provision for income taxes has been computed under the
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under SFAS No. 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and the tax basis of
assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the
year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company does not provide for income taxes on the
undistributed earnings of affiliates since these amounts are
intended to be permanently reinvested. The cumulative amount of
undistributed earnings on which the Company has not recognized
income taxes as of July 31, 2000 is approximately $1,037,000.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the Statements of
Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments
and certificates of deposit with original maturities of less than
three months to be cash equivalents. From time to time, the
Company maintains cash deposits in excess of federally insured
limits. Management does not consider this to represent a
significant risk.

Restricted Cash - The Company's restricted cash is invested
in short-term, highly liquid investments. The carrying amount
approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of
these investments.

Certificates of Deposit - The Company's certificates of
deposit have original maturities greater than 90 days, but not
exceeding one year.

Stock-Based Compensation - The Company has elected to follow
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations in
accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, because
the exercise price of employee stock options equals the market
price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no
compensation expense is recorded. The Company has adopted the
disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications of prior years'
amounts have been made to conform with the current years'
presentation.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging
activities and will be effective for the Company for Fiscal 2001.

The Company does not believe that there will be any material
impact on the Company's financial statements from the adoption of
SFAS 133.

2. CONTRACT CLAIMS

The Company maintains procedures for review and evaluation of
performance on its contracts. Occasionally, the Company will
incur certain excess costs due to circumstances not anticipated at
the time the project was bid. These costs may be attributed to
delays, changed conditions, defective engineering or
specifications, interference by other parties in the performance
of the contracts, and other similar conditions for which the
Company believes it is entitled to reimbursement by the owner,
general contractor, or other participants. These claims are
recorded at the estimated net realizable amount after deduction of
estimated legal fees and other costs of collection. There were no
contract claims outstanding at July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.


3. (LOSS) GAIN ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

During the year ended July 31, 1999, the Company recognized a

April 1999, the Company refinanced it's primary debt instruments
with United Bank. The proceeds from this refinancing were used to
pay off The CIT Group and BB&T (formerly Franklin National Bank)
loans. The loss represents unamortized prepaid fees and penalties
associated with the early payoff of the CIT loan.

During the year ended July 31, 1998, the Company recognized a
"Gain on Extinguishment of Debt" in the amount of $928,000 arising
from the liquidation of its subsidiary John F. Beasley
Construction Company, under the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Texas, and the liquidation its Arthur
Phillips and Company subsidiary.

Certain shareholders owning or controlling approximately
35.9% of the outstanding stock of the Company at July 31, 2000,
own controlling interests in the outstanding stock of Williams
Enterprises of Georgia, Inc. and 100% of Williams and Beasley
Company. Each of these entities provided services to or received
services from the Company during the three years ended July 31,
2000.

Billings to Williams Enterprises of Georgia, Inc. and its
affiliates were approximately $807,000, $953,000 and $1,530,000
for the years ended July 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.

Net billings from Williams and Beasley Company during the
years ended July 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were approximately
$294,000, $329,000 and $181,000, respectively. The Company owed
approximately $13,000 and $32,000 to this entity at July 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively.

One of the shareholders owning or controlling approximately
35.9% of the stock of the Company at July 31, 2000, is a former
director of Concrete Structures, Inc. (CSI), a former subsidiary
of the Company, which is operating under the supervision of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia,
Richmond Division. During the years ended July 31, 2000, 1999, and
1998, billings to this entity by the Company were zero, zero and
$154,000. At July 31, 2000, CSI was indebted to the Company for
approximately $240,000 on a note secured by the assets of CSI. The
note is fully reserved. Due to CSI's severe financial
difficulties, the shareholder, through his privately owned
company, Structural Concrete Products, LLC ("SCP"), leased the
facilities of CSI on July 20, 1998, and on July 22, 1998, CSI
filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. CSI
filed and the Court has approved a plan that provides for the sale
of its assets to SCP. The plan provides for the assumption and
satisfaction of all secured claims by SCP. The Company expects
that its secured note in the amount of $240,000 will be paid in
full over the five-year term of the plan and will record payments
as income as they are received.

Billings to SCP were approximately $121,000, $12,000 and zero
for the years ended July 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. Billings from
SCP were $1,631,000, $6,000 and zero for the years ended July 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998.

During the years ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company
borrowed $950,000 and $200,000 from a shareholder and director,
which was repaid. The money was used to fund short term cash flow
requirements of the Company.

Amounts owing to current and former directors of the Company
amounted to approximately $123,000 and $258,000 at July 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively.

During the year ended July 31, 2000 the Company entered into
an agreement with an affiliated partnership to lease approximately
17 acres of unimproved real estate adjoining its Prince William
County, Virginia properties. The initial lease term is for five
years, with an extension option for an additional five years. The
base annual rent will be calculated on the capitalized cost of
the property times the partnership's costs of funds (margin rate)
plus one percent, which is currently $4,666 per month. The lease
contains an option to purchase up to ten acres at the "original
pro-rata cost" of $567,500.

restrictive covenants contained in the United Bank and the
Wachovia Bank reimbursement agreement for the Industrial Revenue
Bond. Under the most restrictive of these covenants, the Company
was required to (1) maintain a minimum net worth of $9.0 million
at all times (2) maintain a current ratio greater than 1.1 at all
times (3) maintain a fixed charge ratio, as defined, of 1.2 (4)
maintain a debt to tangible net worth of not greater 2.5:1.

payment of dividends to shareholders.


8. INCOME TAXES

As a result of tax losses incurred in prior years, the
Company at July 31, 2000 has tax loss carryforwards amounting to
approximately $8 million. These loss carryforwards will expire
year-to-year from 2008 through 2011. Under SFAS No. 109, the
Company is required to recognize the value of these tax loss
carryforwards if it is more likely than not that they will be
realized by reducing the amount of income taxes payable in future
income tax returns. As a result of the Company's ongoing
profitable operations, the Company expects to report profits for
income tax purposes in the future. Accordingly, the Company
recognized a $2.6 million, and $0.9 million portion of the benefit
available from its tax loss carryforwards during the years ended
July 31, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

Realization of this asset is dependent on generating
sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss
carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, management
believes it is more likely than not that the recorded deferred tax
asset will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset
considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term
if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward
period are reduced.

The components of the income tax provision (benefit) are as
follows for the years ended July 31:
2000 1999 1998

Investment in unconsolidated affiliate, S.I.P., Inc. of
Delaware (42.5% owned) was valued using the Equity Method.
Subsequent to July 31, 2000, the Company acquired an additional
8.75% of the outstanding stock of S.I.P

In the second quarter of the year ended July 31, 1998, the
Company wrote off the remaining value of its investment in Atlas
Machine and Iron Works. The amount of this write off was
approximately $800,000 and was the result of the liquidation of
Atlas assets by its secured creditors. These amounts are included
in "Equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated affiliates" in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings.


10. DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

During the year ended July 31, 2000, the Company entered into
an agreement to sell and lease back one of its heavy lift cranes.
The primary purpose of this transaction was to improve cash flow.
This sale/leaseback transaction resulted in a deferred gain of
approximately $12,000, which will be amortized over the life of
the lease.

During the year ended July 31,1999, the Company entered into
agreements to sell and lease back four of its heavy lift cranes.
The primary purpose of these transactions was to improve cash
flow. These sale/leaseback transactions resulted in deferred gains
of approximately $162,000, which will be amortized over the life
of the respective leases.

Also during 1999, the Company sold 6.02 acres of land in
Bedford, VA for $40,000. The transaction resulted in a gain of
approximately $24,000, which is included in "Other Income" for the
year ended July 31, 1999.

In January 1998, the Company sold its 2.25 acre headquarters
property in Fairfax County, Virginia for $1,430,000. The Company
also entered into a lease for several buildings on the property.
The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $560,000 of
which $115,000, $120,000 and $254,000 is included in "Other
Income" in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the years
ended July 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The remaining
deferred amount, at July 31, 2000, is being recognized over the
remaining lease term of one year.

In June 1998, the Company sold its one acre property in
Baltimore, Maryland for $135,000. The transaction resulted in a
gain of approximately $98,000 which is also included in "Other
Income" in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year
ended July 31, 1998.

During the year ended July 31, 1998, the Company sold several
large pieces of equipment in order to modernize its fleet and pay
off certain debt. A net gain of approximately $224,000 was
recognized. The gain from these transactions is included in
"Revenue: Sales and Services" in the Consolidated Statement of
Earnings.


11. COMMON STOCK OPTIONS

At the November 1996 annual meeting, the shareholders
approved the establishment of a new Incentive Stock Option Plan
(1996 Plan) to provide an incentive for maximum effort in the
successful operation of the Company and its subsidiaries by their
officers and key employees and to encourage ownership of the
common shares of the Company by those persons. Under the 1996
Plan, 200,000 shares were reserved for issue.

In May 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved and
issued options for 12,000 shares of stock to subsidiary management
under the Company's 1996 Plan and 12,000 shares of non-incentive
stock options to the non-management members of the Company's Board
of Directors.

In January 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved and
issued options for 20,000 shares of stock to Company management,
and 10,000 shares of stock to subsidiary management under the
Company's 1996 Plan. Additionally, 17,500 shares of non-incentive
stock options were authorized for non-management members of the
Company's Board of Directors.

In January 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved
and issued options for 6,000 shares of stock to Company
management, and 10,000 shares of stock to subsidiary management
under the Company's 1996 Plan. Additionally, 15,000 shares of non-
incentive stock options were authorized for non-management members
of the Company's Board of Directors.

The stock options granted vested immediately, expiring in
five years from the date of grant and having exercise prices which
range from the quoted market value to 110% of the quoted market
value on the date of the grant. The Company accounts for its
options under the intrinsic method of APB No. 25. Had
compensation expense for the Company's stock-based compensation
plans been determined based on the fair value at grant dates for
awards under those plans, consistent with the method of accounting
under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the
Company's
net earnings and earnings per share would have been:

2000 1999 1998
------ ------ ------
Net Earnings (in thousands)
As reported $1,487 $3,406 $1,800
Pro forma 1,416 3,269 1,776

Earnings per share - Basic
As reported $ 0.41 $ 0.95 $ 0.56
Pro forma 0.39 0.92 0.56

Earnings per share - Diluted
As reported $ 0.41 $ 0.95 $ 0.51
Pro forma 0.39 0.92 0.51

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following assumptions:

Year ended July 31, 2000 1999 1998
------ ------ ------
Dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
Volatility rate 84.7% 90.0% 53.0%
Discount rate 6.0% 6.0% 5.6%
Expected term (years) 5 5 5

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for
use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no
vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition,
option valuation models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because
changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect
the fair value estimate, the existing models may not be a reliable
single measure of the fair value of its stock options.

The chief operating decision maker utilizes revenues,
operating profits and assets employed as measures in assessing
segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

Operating profit is total revenue less operating expenses.
In computing operating profit (loss), the following items have not
been added or deducted: general corporate expenses, interest
expense, income taxes, equity in the earnings (loss) of
unconsolidated affiliates and minority interests.

Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used
in the Company's operations in each segment. General corporate
assets include investments, some real estate, and certain other
assets not allocated to segments.

The majority of revenues have historically been derived from
projects on which the Company is a subcontractor of a material
supplier, other contractor or subcontractor. Where the Company
acts as a subcontractor, it is invited to bid by the firm seeking
construction services or materials; therefore, continuing
favorable business relations with those firms that frequently bid
on and obtain contracts requiring such services or materials are
important to the Company. Over a period of years, the Company has
established such relationships with a number of companies. During
the year ended July 31, 1998, one single customer accounted for
10.4% of consolidated revenue and 23.6% of construction revenue.
During the year ended July 31, 1999, one single customer accounted
for 19.9% of the consolidated revenue and 40.8% of manufacturing
revenue. During the year ended July 31, 2000, there was no single
customer that accounted for more than 10% of consolidated
revenues.

The accounts receivable from the construction segment at July
31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 were due from 42, 46 and 43 unrelated
customers, of which 7, 5 and 4 customers accounted for $3,809,000,
$3,346,000 and $3,588,000, respectively. The amounts due from
these customers is expected to be collected in the normal course
of business.

The accounts receivable from the manufacturing segment at
July 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 were due from 21, 16 and 23
unrelated customers, of which 5, 2 and 1 customers accounted for
$4,939,000, $2,365,000 and $490,000, respectively. The amounts due from
these customers is expected to be collected in the normal
course of business.

The Company does not normally require its customers to
provide collateral for outstanding receivable balances.


13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company has a defined contribution retirement savings
plan covering substantially all employees. The Plan provides for
optional Company contributions as a fixed percentage of salaries.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company began contributing 2% of
each eligible employee's salary to the plan. In 1999 and 2000 the
Company increased the contributing rate to 3%. During the years
ended July 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, expenses under the plan
amounted to approximately $292,000, $200,000 and $100,000
respectively.


14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Industrial Revenue Bond

In the year ended July 31, 2000, the Company renegotiated its
Industrial Revenue Bond with the City of Richmond backed by a Line
of Credit with Wachovia Bank, secured by the Company's Richmond
manufacturing facility. The Company is current in all of its
obligations under the IRB and the Company is in compliance with
the covenants contained in the agreement. As of July 31, 2000,
the outstanding balance was approximately $1.1 million. Principal
payments are due in increasing amounts through maturity, which has
been extended from 2007 to 2012.

The Company is party to various claims arising in the
ordinary course of its business. Generally, claims exposure in
the construction services industry consists of workers'
compensation, personal injury, products' liability and property
damage. The Company believes that its insurance accruals, coupled
with its liability coverage, is adequate coverage for such claims.

Leases

At the time of the sale of the Falls Church, Virginia
property, January 28, 1998, the Company entered into a lease-back
arrangement for three buildings in the complex. Maximum future
lease payments for the Falls Church property is approximately
$92,000 for the year ending July 31, 2001. The agreement provides
that the landlord may cancel with six months notice to the
Company.

The Company leases certain property, plant and equipment
under operating lease arrangements, including a lease with a
related party discussed in Note 4, that expire at various dates
though 2011. Lease expenses approximated $1,245,000, $810,000,
and $580,000 for the years ended July 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998,
respectively. Future minimum lease commitments required under non-

17. RESTATEMENT

Subsequent to the filing of its July 31, 1999, annual report
on form 10-K, the Company became aware of certain errors that had
been made in accounting for its workers' compensation insurance
expense over a period of several years. These errors related to
the recognition of expenses for prior year claims paid by the
Company's insurance intermediary, the timing of the recording of
the annual experience rating adjustment and the recording of
premium refunds received from the intermediary. As a result, the
accompanying 1998 and 1999 financial statements have been restated
from previously reported amounts to correct the recording of these
items. A summary of the significant effects of the restatement is
as follows:
