2009 COMPARED TO 2008

Sales. 2009 volume was approximately the same as in 2008. Although volume was the same year-over-year, there were several offsetting factors that affected 2009. In April 2009, the Company brought online a new galvanizing plant, located in Benwood, West Virginia. In late November 2009, the St. Louis plant ceased operations temporarily due to damage caused by a fire. As of February 22, 2010, the plant had not resumed operations. Fourth quarter 2009 volume was down versus prior quarters during the year, representing 22.7% of the total year volume. The fourth quarter 2009 slowdown in hot dip galvanizing demand is related to the overall slowdown in general economic activity and cannot be attributed to any one geographic area or principal market.

Sales for year ended December 31, 2009 decreased 10.5% over the prior year, due to a 10.5% decline in average selling prices. Prices were affected by the economic downturn and the anticipated drop in overall demand for hot dip galvanizing along with the Company’s focus on gaining larger volume work which resulted in lower priced project work during the last half of 2009. This reduction in average prices was the primary cause of the decline in earnings.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased $4.1 million over 2008 due to a decrease in zinc and utility costs.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses. SG&A decreased $0.7 million in 2009 compared to 2008 due to a $0.4 million decrease in legal fees and a $0.3 million decrease in personnel costs.

FS - 5

Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense increased $.2 million from 2008 to 2009 related to an increase in machinery and equipment at the new location in West Virginia, opened in April, 2009.

Interest Expense. Interest expense of $0.4 million was recorded in 2009 due to the issuance of $7.3 million in subordinated notes in August, 2009.

Operating Income. For the year ended December 31, 2009, operating income was $14.9 million compared to $19.3 million for 2008. The decrease in operating income is primarily due to a decrease in average selling prices.

Income Taxes. The Company’s effective income tax rates for 2009 and 2008 were 33.6% and 36.0%, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and minor adjustments to previous tax estimates.

Loss from Discontinued Operations, net of income taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the loss from discontinued operations of $0.7 million is due to the final settlement with Metropolitan Water District of Greater Chicago, related to the Company’s former subsidiary, Lake River Corporation.

Net Income. For 2009, the Company reported net income of $9.7 million compared to net income of $11.9 million for 2008. The decrease in net income is primarily due to a decrease in average selling prices.

2008 COMPARED TO 2007

Sales-- Sales volumes for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased 7% over the prior year due to an overall increase in demand from existing customers and incremental project work. The average selling price for 2008 was 9% lower than the average selling price for 2007, as a result of decreased zinc costs. The decrease in 2008 revenues of 2.6% was due to a combination of an increase in volume and a lower average sales price compared to 2007. Sales prices have decreased related to decreases in zinc costs.

Cost of Sales-- The $7.1 million decrease in cost of goods sold from 2007 to 2008 was mainly to due to a decrease in zinc costs of 39.3%. Excluding the effect of increased volumes, other plant overhead costs increased $1.3 million, or 17% from 2007 to 2008, due in part to increases in repairs and maintenance spending and supplies. Excluding the effect of increased volumes, the Company’s labor costs increased $0.6 million, or 3%, from 2007 to 2008 mainly due to higher wages. Excluding the effect of increased volume, utilities costs increased $0.4 million, or 10%, for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to the prior year due in large part to higher gas prices.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses-- SG&A increased $0.9 million, or 9.8%, in 2008 compared to 2007. The increase was due to increases in personnel costs, primarily in the form of non-cash share-based compensation.

Operating Income-- For the year ended December 31, 2008, operating income was $19.3 million, compared to $15.4 million for 2007. The increase in operating income is due to the factors described above.

Income Taxes-- The Company’s effective income tax rates for 2008 and 2007 were 36.0% and 38.2%, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and adjustments to previous tax estimates based on actual tax returns filed.

FS - 6

Loss from Discontinued Operations, net of income taxes-- For the year ended December 31, 2008, the loss from discontinued operations of $0.7 million is due to the final settlement with Metropolitan Water District of Greater Chicago, related to the Company’s former subsidiary, Lake River Corporation.

Net Income-- For 2008, the Company reported net income of $11.9 million compared to net income of $9.2 million for 2007. The increase in net income is due to the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash flow from operations and borrowings under credit facilities have consistently been adequate to fund its current facilities working capital and capital spending requirements. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, operating cash flow and borrowings under credit facilities have been the primary sources of liquidity. The Company monitors working capital and planned capital spending to assess liquidity and minimize cyclical cash flow.

Cash flow from operating activities was $14.9 million in 2009, $14.2 million in 2008 and $14.5 million in 2007. Cash flow from operations is primarily derived from net income plus depreciation and amortization plus other non-cash items. In 2009 cash flow was negatively affected by increases in income tax receivable and decreases in current liabilities. These decreases to cash flow were more than offset by a reduction in accounts receivable and other assets and a net increase in the deferred tax accounts. Cash flow was also positively affected by non-cash share based compensation and other non-cash items. In 2008, cash flow from operating activities reflected higher net income and a $1.9 million cash outflow from changes in other operating assets and liabilities. In 2007, cash flow from operating activities reflected a net cash inflow of $0.8 million from changes in other operating assets and liabilities.

Capital expenditures for equipment and upgrade of existing galvanizing facilities totaled $8.1 million in 2009, $3.2 million in 2008 and $4.4 million in 2007. Expenditures in 2009 include construction of the new facility in Benwood, West Virginia ($3.6 million), upgrading facilities at the Hurst, Texas plant ($2.0 million), and a new furnace and kettle in Denver, Colorado ($0.4 million). The Company continues to have a commitment to invest cash flow in improving plant operations. The Company expects base capital expenditures for 2010 to be between $3.0 million and $4.0 million.

Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $6.8 million primarily due to the issuance of subordinated debt and stock warrants totaling $6.6 million. In 2008, cash used in financing activities totaled $4.6 million, including purchase of common stock for the treasury of $5.1 million, which was offset by proceeds from exercise of stock options and tax benefits from stock option exercises and Director Stock Units distributed of $0.5 million. Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled $9.1, including net payments on long-term obligations and bonds of $9.3 million and purchase of common stock for the treasury of $0.2 million, which was offset by proceeds from stock options exercised and tax benefits from stock options exercises of $0.4 million.

The Company does not expect an adverse effect on liquidity due to the fire at the St. Louis facility (See details in Item 2: Properties).

On July 17, 2009, the Company entered into a new credit agreement between the Company and its subsidiary North American Galvanizing Company as borrowers and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer. The existing credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. was canceled. The new credit agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $25 million with future increases of up to an aggregate principal amount of $15 million. The purpose of the new facility is to refinance a former credit agreement, provide for issuance of standby letters of credit,

FS - 7

provide funding for acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has not borrowed under the new credit agreement, which has a maturity date of July 17, 2012.

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable, inventories, fixed assets and the common stock of its subsidiary are pledged as collateral under the new agreement, and the credit agreement is secured by full and unconditional guaranties from North American Galvanizing Company’s subsidiaries. The credit agreement provides for an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% over LIBOR and a commitment fee of ..25%. The applicable margin was 1.73% at December 31, 2009.

The credit agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain covenants. At December 31, 2009 the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the new credit agreement. The required covenants of the new agreement are as follows: Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio – maximum allowed of 3.25; Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio – minimum allowed of 1.1 and Asset Coverage Ratio – minimum required of 1.50. The credit agreement also has other restrictions.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had unused borrowing capacity of $24.8 million, based on no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $0.2 million of letters of credit to secure payment of current and future workers’ compensation claims.

On August 18, 2009, the Company accepted subscription agreements for $7.3 million in subordinated debt with stock warrants to purchase 1,095,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The private placement transaction was completed August 21, 2009. $3.1 million of the proceeds has been allocated to the stock warrants and the resulting discount on subordinated debt is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. The purpose of this additional financing is to facilitate the Company's growth strategy. The private placement was offered to a group of current large shareholders and a limited number of other accredited investors who had expressed an interest in investing in the Company. The 10% subordinated notes have a five year maturity and the warrants are immediately exercisable, for a period of up to seven years. Terms of the warrants permit the holder to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at any time prior to the expiration date, for cash at an Exercise Price of $5.20 per share (market value of common stock at date subscription was accepted). As of December 31, 2009 no warrants had been exercised.

The Company has various commitments primarily related to long term debt, vehicle and equipment operating leases, facilities operating leases and zinc purchase commitments. The Company’s off-balance sheet contractual obligations at December 31, 2009, consist of $1.1 million in outstanding purchase orders for zinc, $1.1 million for long-term operating leases for galvanizing and office facilities, $0.65 million in outstanding commitments for various operating expenses, $0.5 million in outstanding commitments for various machinery, equipment and building improvements and $0.4 million for vehicle and equipment operating leases. The various leases for galvanizing facilities expire through 2017. The vehicle leases expire annually on various schedules through 2012. NAGC periodically enters into fixed price purchase commitments with domestic and foreign zinc producers to purchase a portion of its requirements for its hot dip galvanizing operations; commitments for the future delivery of zinc can be for up to one year. The Company expects to fund these commitments with cash generated from operations and continuation of existing bank credit agreements as they mature.

Share Repurchase Program

In August 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1,000,000 of its common stock in private or open market transactions. In March 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to buy back an additional $2,000,000 of its common stock, subject to market conditions. The Company has completed the August 1998 and March 2008 share repurchase programs. In August 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to buy back $3,000,000 of its common stock, subject to market conditions. Unless terminated earlier by resolution of the Board of Directors, the program will expire when the Company has purchased shares with an aggregate purchase price of no more than the $307,867 remaining under the program at December 31, 2009. In 2009, the Company repurchased 42,166 shares at an average price per share of $3.95, bringing the total number of shares repurchased through December 31, 2009 to 1,463,893 at an average price of $3.89 per share, totaling $5,692,133.

Environmental Matters

The Company’s facilities are subject to environmental legislation and regulation affecting their operations and the discharge of wastes. The operating cost of compliance with such regulations was approximately $2.1 million in 2009 and $1.9 million in both 2008 and 2007 for the disposal and recycling of wastes generated by the galvanizing operations. The $2.1 million in 2009 environmental costs for 2009 include approximately $0.3 million of costs related to the St. Louis fire. (See details in Item 2: Properties).

In September 2008, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) notified the Company ofa claim against the Companyas a potentiallyresponsible party related to a Superfund site in Texas City, Texas. Thismatterpertains to galvanizing facilities of a Company subsidiary and itsdisposal of waste, which was handled by their supplier in the early 1980’s. The EPA offered the Company a special de minimis party settlement to resolve potential liability that the Company and its subsidiaries may have under CERCLA at this site. The Company has accrued the $112,145 de minimis settlement amount during the third quarter of 2008 and accepted the EPA’s offer before the deadline of December 30, 2008.

NAGC was notified in 1997 by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“IEPA”) that it was one of approximately 60 potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) 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., an entity unrelated to NAGC. The IEPA notice includes NACG as one of the organizations which arranged for the treatment and disposal of hazardous

FS - 9

substances at Sandoval. The estimated timeframe for resolution of the IEPA contingency is unknown. The IEPA has yet to respond to a proposed work plan submitted in August 2000 by a group of the potentially responsible parties or suggest any other course of action, and there has been no activity in regards to this issue since 2001. Until the work plan is approved and completed, the range of potential loss or remediation, if any, is unknown, and in addition, the allocation of potential loss between the 60 potentially responsible parties is unknown and not reasonably estimable. Therefore, the Company has no basis for determining potential exposure and estimated remediation costs at this time and no liability has been accrued.

In regards to concerns about global warming, global warming could have an adverse impact on the Company, particularly in hurricane prone or low lying areas near the ocean.At this time, the Company is not able to speculate as to the potential timing or impact from potential global warming, however the Company believes that it currently has adequate insurance coverage related to natural disasters at the NAGC sites.There are several initiatives in the United States and other countries to regulate certain industries and actions to reduce the impact of global warming.Some of these initiatives, if made effective, could have a direct adverse impact on the Company’s operations or an indirect adverse impact by affecting suppliers or customers. In September 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) promulgated a new regulation regarding the registry of greenhouse gas emissions for certain facilities. Currently the Company does not have any sites that are required to report such emissions under the new EPA climate registry rule. The Company does not expect the regulation to have a significant impact from a cost or operations perspective, but will continue to monitor proposed legislation and regulation and its impact.

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 business, the Company will have additional environmental compliance costs associated with past, present and future operations. Management is committed to discovering and eliminating environmental issues as they arise. Because of the frequent changes in environmental technology, laws and regulations, management cannot reasonably quantify the Company’s potential future costs in this area.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that management apply accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect results of operations and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. The following areas are those that management believes are important to the financial statements because they require significant judgment and estimation.

Revenue Recognition—Revenue is recognized when earned and realized or realizable in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin “SAB” 104 Revenue Recognition, which requires satisfying the following criteria: the arrangement with the customer is evident through the receipt of a purchase order or a written agreement; the sales price is fixed or determinable; coating services have been completed, including inspection by the Company according to American Society for Testing and Materials (“ASTM”) standards; and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company does not accept title to customers’ products, thus, revenue does not include the value of the customers’ products. Although most customers make arrangements for transportation, if the Company makes transportation arrangements, freight and shipping billed to customers is included in sales, and the cost of freight and shipping is included in cost of sales.

The Company works to price its services based on the cost of zinc and the cost of services performed. The market price of zinc, as quoted on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”), has been volatile. During the last three years, the LME spot price of zinc was as high as $1.93 and as low as $0.47 per pound, ending 2009 at $1.17. Thus, the Company’s revenue can be impacted positively or negatively based on changes in zinc prices.

FS - 10

Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost last in, first out (“LIFO”) basis or market. Since substantially the Company’s entire inventory is raw zinc used in the galvanizing of customers’ products, market value is based on an estimate of the value added to the cost of raw zinc as a result of the galvanizing service. The price of zinc has been volatile. See revenue recognition discussion above.

Self-Insurance Reserves—The reserves for the self-insured portion of workers compensation and health insurance coverage are based on historical data and current trends. Estimates for reported claims and for claims incurred but not reported are included in the reserves. These estimates may be subject to adjustment if the Company’s actual claims are significantly different than its historical experience. The Company has obtained insurance coverage for medical claims exceeding $75,000 and workers’ compensation claims exceeding $150,000 per occurrence and has implemented safety training and other programs to reduce workplace accidents.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment using forecasts of future cash flows to be generated by those assets. These cash flow forecasts are based upon expected tonnage to be galvanized and the margin to be earned by providing that service to customers. These assumptions are susceptible to the actions of competitors and changes in economic conditions in the industries and geographic markets the Company serves.

Environmental—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.

Goodwill—Pursuant to the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (formerly referenced as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets), which requires management to estimate the fair value of the Company’s reporting units, the Company conducts an annual impairment test of goodwill during the second quarter of each year, unless circumstances arise that require more frequent testing. The determination of fair value is dependent upon many factors including, but not limited to, management’s estimate of future cash flows of the reporting units and discount rates. Any one of a number of future events could cause management to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that the carrying value of these assets will not be recovered. The Company completed the annual impairment test of goodwill for 2009 and concluded goodwill was not impaired. Management monitored the Company’s operations and the general economic environment including the Company’s market capitalization throughout the year and is not aware of any triggering events that required an additional test of goodwill for possible impairment.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

The Company’s operations include managing market risks related to changes in interest rates and zinc commodity prices.

Interest Rate Risk— Changing interest rates will affect interest paid on the Company’s variable rate debt. The Company does not have any variable rate debt as of December 31, 2009.

Zinc Price Risk—NAGC periodically enters into fixed price purchase commitments for physical delivery with domestic and foreign zinc producers to purchase a portion of its zinc requirements for its hot dip galvanizing operations. Commitments for the future delivery of zinc, typically up to one year, reflect rates quoted on the London Metals Exchange.

FS - 11

At December 31, 2009, the Company had $1.1 million in outstanding purchase orders for zinc.

The Company’s financial strategy includes evaluating the selective use of derivative financial instruments to manage zinc and interest costs. As part of its inventory management strategy, the Company expects to continue evaluating hedging instruments to minimize the impact of zinc price fluctuations. The Company’s current zinc forward purchase commitments are considered derivatives, but the Company has elected to account for these purchase commitments as normal purchases.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Management of North American Galvanizing Company (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Management’s assessment included an evaluation of such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and overall control environment. Based on this assessment, the Company’s management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 was effective.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

North American Galvanizing & Coatings, Inc.

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of North American Galvanizing & Coatings, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 of the Company and our report dated February 24, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

North American Galvanizing & Coatings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of North American Galvanizing & Coatings, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of North American Galvanizing & Coatings, Inc. and subsidiary at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 24, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

NORTH AMERICAN GALVANIZING AND COATINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007

Description of Business

North American Galvanizing & Coatings, Inc. (“North American Galvanizing” or the “Company”) is engaged in hot dip galvanizing and coatings for corrosion protection of customer-owned fabricated steel products through its wholly owned subsidiary, North American Galvanizing Company (“NAGC”). NAGC provides metals corrosion protection with 11 regionally located galvanizing plants.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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 significantly from the estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include interest bearing deposits with original maturities of three months or less.

Inventories—Inventories consist of raw zinc “pigs,” molten zinc in galvanizing kettles and other chemicals and materials used in the galvanizing process. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with market value based on estimated 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. Inventories consist of the following:

	(Dollars in thousands)
	2009		2008

Zinc	$	5,439	$	5,369

Other		556		470
	$	5,995	$	5,839

Had the Company used first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) basis for valuing its zinc inventories, at December 31, 2009 and 2008, inventories would have been higher by approximately $3,112,000 and $1,300,000, respectively. The Company’s LIFO inventories represented approximately 91% of total inventories at December 31, 2009 and 92% of total inventories at December 31, 2008. Raw zinc replacement cost based on year-end market prices was approximately $10,939,000 and $5,100,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In 2009, inventory quantities were reduced, resulting in liquidation of LIFO inventory layers which increased the Company’s net income by approximately $185,000. In 2008, inventory quantities were reduced, resulting in liquidation of LIFO inventory layers which decreased the Company’s net income by approximately $109,000.

FS - 20

Goodwill—Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed at least annually for impairment. Management selected May 31 as the date of its annual goodwill impairment test. Based upon the impairment test performed as of May 31, 2009, management determined that goodwill was not impaired.

Depreciation and Amortization—Plant and equipment, including assets under capital leases, are depreciated on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally at rates of 3% to 6% for buildings and 10% to 20% for equipment, furnishings and fixtures.

Environmental Expenditures—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.

Long-Lived Assets—Long-lived assets and certain intangibles to be held and used or disposed of are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or when events or circumstances indicate that such impairment may have occurred. The Company has determined that no impairment loss need be recognized for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 or 2007.

Self-Insurance—The Company is self-insured for workers’ compensation and certain health care claims for its active employees. The Company carries excess insurance providing coverage for medical claims exceeding $75,000 and workers’ compensation claims exceeding $150,000 per occurrence, respectively. The reserves for workers’ compensation benefits and health care claims represent estimates for reported claims and for claims incurred but not reported using loss development factors. Such estimates are generally based on historical trends and risk assessment methodologies; however, the actual results may vary from these estimates since the evaluation of losses is inherently subjective and susceptible to significant changing factors.

Revenue Recognition— Revenue is recognized when earned and realized or realizable in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. This includes satisfying the following criteria: the arrangement with the customer is evident, through the receipt of a purchase order or a written agreement; the sales price is fixed or determinable; coating services have been completed, including inspection by the Company according to American Society for Testing and Materials (“ASTM”) standards; and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company does not accept title to customers’ products, thus, revenue does not include the value of the customers’ products. Although most customers make arrangements for transportation, if the Company makes transportation arrangements, freight and shipping billed to customers is included in sales, and the cost of freight and shipping is included in cost of sales.

Derivative Financial Instruments—The Company has previously utilized commodity collar contracts as derivative instruments which are intended to offset the impact of potential fluctuations in the market price of zinc. The Company had no derivative instruments that were required to be reported at fair value at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and did not utilize derivatives during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 or 2007, except for the zinc forward purchase commitments, which are accounted for as normal purchases (see Note 6).

Stock Options— The Company has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (formerly referenced as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). The standard requires grant date fair value to be estimated using either an option-pricing model which is consistent with the terms of the award or a market observed price, if such a price exists. Such costs must be recognized over the period during which an

FS - 21

employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The standard also requires estimating the number of instruments that will ultimately be issued, rather than accounting for forfeitures as they occur.

Income Taxes—Net deferred income tax assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and the benefit of net operating loss and other tax credit carry-forwards. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets to the extent management believes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. No valuation allowance was considered necessary at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

The Company adopted FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly referenced as FASB Financial Interpretation No.48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes) on January 1, 2007. ASC 740 clarifies whether or not to recognize assets or liabilities for tax positions taken that may be challenged by a taxing authority. The Company files income tax returns in the Federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to Federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company updated its evaluation of all open tax years in all jurisdictions, including an evaluation of the potential impact of additional state taxes being assessed by jurisdictions in which the Company does not currently consider itself liable. Based on this evaluation, the Company did not identify any uncertain tax positions. In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company will include future interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as a component of its provision for taxes.

(2) Insurance Receivable

The Company experienced a fire November 20, 2009 at its St. Louis facility. There were no injuries, and there was no environmental contamination outside the plant. The plant is currently idle, and the fire affected the Company’s 2009 earnings due to loss of business. The Company is transporting product to be galvanized from the St. Louis market to other North American Galvanizing Company plants in its eleven plant network. The plant property is insured at a value that approximates replacement cost, and the insurance coverage also includes coverage for business interruption loss and reimbursement for extra expense. At December 31, 2009, the net book value of building and equipment and inventory that was destroyed was removed from property, plant and equipment and inventory and a receivable from insurance of $1.6 million was recorded which is equivalent to the net book value of destroyed assets plus related expenses incurred through year-end. The Company is continuing to compile its claim, and received initial cash proceeds from insurance in February, 2010 (see Note 16). The Company expects to receive additional cash proceeds from insurance during 2010.

(3) Share-based Compensation

At December 31, 2009, the Company had one share-based compensation plan, which was stockholder-approved, the 2009 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”), which includes the Director Stock Unit Program. The Plan permits the grant of share options and shares to its employees and directors for up to 2,624,898 shares of common stock. Director Stock Unit Program shares are issued under the plan. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees and directors with those of its stockholders.

The compensation cost for the Plan, exclusive of the Director Stock Unit Program, was $1,102,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $704,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This expense is further detailed below. There was no share-based compensation cost capitalized during 2009 or 2008.

Non-vested Shares. During February and March 2008, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board of Directors approved a grant totaling 126,667 non-vested shares for management employees and

FS - 22

66,667 non-vested shares for non-management directors. During July 2008, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board of Directors approved a grant totaling 80,000 non-vested shares for non-management directors. The weighted-average grant price of non-vested shares granted in 2008 was $4.70. During January 2009, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board of Directors approved a grant totaling 154,168 non-vested shares for management employees and 79,998 non-vested shares for non-management directors. The weighted-average grant price of non-vested shares stock granted in 2009 was $3.67. Non-vested shares granted to management employees, including management directors vest and become nonforfeitable on the date that is four years after the date of grant; or if the participant is a non-employee director of the Company at the time of the grant, the date that is two years after the date of the grant. The Company is recognizing this compensation expense over the two year or four year vesting period, as applicable, on a ratable basis. Non-vested shares are valued at market value on the grant date. For 2009, the Company recorded compensation expense for non-vested shares of $774,000 and a related tax benefit of $294,000. For 2008, the Company recorded compensation expense for non-vested shares of $345,000 and a related tax benefit of $131,000.

The following table reflects non-vested share activity for the year ended December 31, 2009.

				Weighted Average Grant
Non-vested shares	Shares			Date Fair Value
Non-vested shares at December 31, 2008		273,326		$	4.70
Shares granted		234,166			3.67
Shares cancelled		(2,000	)		3.67
Non-vested shares at December 31, 2009		505,492		$	4.23

Stock Options. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards usually vest based on 4 years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company issued stock options for 670,000 shares at $2.60 per share. No stock options were issued in 2009 or 2008. The Company recognized $328,000, $359,000 and $531,000 in 2009, 2008 and 2007 respectively for amortization expense related to stock options. No tax benefit was recognized in income tax expense for 2009 or 2008 related to incentive stock options.

The fair value of options granted under the Company’s stock option plans was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used:

	Year Ended December 31
	2007

Volatility	66%
Discount rate	4.6%
Dividend yield
Weighted average grant date fair value, as adjusted to reflect the four-for-three stock split	$1.77

The fair value of options which became fully vested during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $1,024,000, $522,000 and $464,000, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $1,073,000, $1,550,000 and $657,000, respectively.

As of December 31, 2009, the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was $1,024,000 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable was $1,987,000 and $1,146,000, respectively, at December 31, 2009.

Director Stock Unit Program. At the Company’s Annual Meeting held July 29, 2009, stockholders approved the 2009 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”), which includes the Director Stock Unit Program (the “Program”). Following the shareholder meeting at which the Plan was approved, the Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee approved an amendment to the 2009 Incentive Stock Plan. The amendment to the 2009 Incentive Stock Plan changes the percentage that each directoris required todefer in fees each calendar year from a minimum of 50% to a minimum of 100%. The deferred fees will be converted into stock unit grants at the average of the fair market value for a share of stock for the 10 trading days before the date the director fees otherwise would have been payable in cash. The Company makes a matching stock unit contribution equal to 75% of the amount deferred by the directors as of the same quarterly payments dates. On December 4, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a recommendation proposed by the Company’s Compensation Committee to adjust the amount by which the Company will match a director’s deferred fees from seventy five percent (75%) to one hundred percent (100%). This amendment is an extension of the July, 2009 amendment that requires all directors to mandatorily defer 100% of their fee into the Company’s Director Stock Unit Program, and is effective January 1, 2010.

The Compensation Committee also recommended to the Board of Directorsan increase in theannual fee for outside directorsfrom $35,000 to $50,000, effective October 1, 2009. The last time the fee was increased was in 2006. The Board of Directors approved the recommended increase.

FS - 24

The management director is required to participate in the deferral program and the amendment described above applies to his participation as well. The President and CEO, as a management director, receives no additional cash compensation for his service as a director. The Company reduces the CEO’s annual salary by the amount deferred under the Director Stock Unit Program. The Company matches deferrals by the management director with Stock Units at the same rate as it matches deferrals for non-management directors.

Stock under this program is eligible for delivery five calendar years following the year for which the deferral is made subject to acceleration upon the resignation or retirement of the director or a change in control. Directors may elect, at least one full year before the end of any automatic deferral period, to further defer their receipt of the stock for at least five years.

All of the Company’s non-management directors elected to defer 100% of the annual board fee for 2009, 2008 and 2007, and the Company’s chief executive officer elected to defer a corresponding amount of his salary in 2009, 2008 and 2007. During 2009, fees, salary and Company matching deferred by the directors represented a total of 110,516 stock unit grants valued at $4.30 per stock unit totaling $475,000. During 2008, fees, salary and Company matching deferred by the directors represented a total of 80,994 stock unit grants valued at $5.10 per stock unit totaling $413,000. During 2007, fees, salary and Company matching deferred by the directors represented a total of 104,291 stock unit grants valued at $4.11 per stock unit. Company matching contributions under this plan were $203,000 in 2009, $177,000 in 2008 and $184,000 in 2007.

(4) Earnings Per Share Reconciliation

At December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 there are no options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to the option price exceeding the share market price.


Basic EPS from continuing operations:	2009			2008			2007
Income from continuing operations	$	9,657,000		$	12,532,000		$	9,232,000

Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations	$	0.58		$	0.74		$	0.54

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1 (Now codified in ASC No. 260, “Earnings per Share.”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payments transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in ASC No. 260. Under the guidance

FS - 25

in FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. We have also recast earnings per share for fiscal year 2008 in accordance with FSP EITF 03-6-1 which lowered basic fiscal year 2008 EPS by $.01. We did not recast fiscal year 2007 because the Company did not have unvested share-based payment awards in 2007.

(5) Long-Term Obligations

The new credit agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $25 million with future increases of up to an aggregate principal amount of $15 million. The purpose of the new facility is to refinance a former credit agreement, provide for issuance of standby letters of credit, provide funding for acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has not borrowed under the new credit agreement, which has a maturity date of July 17, 2012.

On August 18, 2009, the Company accepted subscription agreements for $7.3 million in subordinated debt with stock warrants to purchase 1,095,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The private placement transaction was completed August 21, 2009. $3.1 million of the proceeds was allocated to the stock warrants and the resulting discount on subordinated debt is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. The purpose of this additional financing is to facilitate the Company's growth strategy. The private placement was offered to a group of current large shareholders and a limited number of other accredited investors who had expressed an interest in investing in the Company. The 10% subordinated notes have a five year maturity and the warrants are immediately exercisable, for a period of up to seven years. Interest is paid quarterly and the subordinated debt will be paid at maturity. Terms of the warrants permit the holder to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at any time prior to the expiration date, for cash at an Exercise Price of $5.20 per share (market value of common stock at date subscription was accepted). As of December 31, 2009 no warrants had been exercised.

FS - 26

(6) Commitments

The Company leases its headquarters office and certain manufacturing buildings and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. The Company also leases certain facilities to third parties under non-cancelable operating leases. These operating leases generally provide for renewal options and periodic rate increases and are typically renewed in the normal course of business. Lease expense was approximately $1.4 million in 2009, $1.3 million in 2008 and $1.3 million in 2007.

Minimum annual rental commitments at December 31, 2009 are payable as follows:

	(Dollars in thousands)
	Operating Leases

2010		$	635
2011			290
2012			195
2013			151
2014			56
Thereafter			134

		$	1,461

At December 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $1.1 million in outstanding purchase orders for zinc, $0.65 million in outstanding commitments for various operating expenses and $0.5 million in outstanding commitments for various machinery, equipment and building improvements.

(7) Contingencies

NAGC was notified in 1997 by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“IEPA”) that it was one of approximately 60 potentially responsible parties 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., an entity unrelated to NAGC. The IEPA notice includes NACG as one of the organizations which arranged for the treatment and disposal of hazardous substances at Sandoval. The estimated timeframe for resolution of the IEPA contingency is unknown. The IEPA has yet to respond to a proposed work plan submitted in August 2000 by a group of the potentially responsible parties or suggest any other course of action, and there has been no activity in regards to this issue since 2001. Until the work plan is approved and completed, the range of potential loss or remediation, if any, is unknown, and in addition, the allocation of potential loss between the 60 potentially responsible parties is unknown and not reasonably estimable. Therefore, the Company has no basis for determining potential exposure and estimated remediation costs at this time and no liability has been accrued.

In September 2008, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) notified the Company of a claim against the Company as a potentially responsible party related to a Superfund site in Texas City, Texas. This matter pertains to galvanizing facilities of a Company subsidiary and its disposal of waste, which was handled by their supplier in the early 1980’s. The EPA offered the Company a special de minimis party settlement to resolve potential liability that the Company and its subsidiaries may have under CERCLA at this Site. The Company accrued the $112,145 de minimis settlement amount during the third quarter of 2008 and accepted the EPA’s offer before the deadline of December 30, 2008.

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 business, the Company will have additional environmental compliance costs associated with past, present and future operations. Management is committed to discovering and eliminating environmental issues as they arise. Because of frequent changes in environmental technology, laws and regulations management cannot reasonably quantify the Company’s potential future costs in this area.

FS - 27

North American Galvanizing & Coatings, Inc. and its subsidiary are parties to a number of other lawsuits and environmental matters which are not discussed herein. Management of the Company, based upon their analysis of known facts and circumstances and reports from legal counsel, does not believe that any such matter will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial conditions or cash flows of the Company.

(8) Treasury Stock

In 2009, the Company issued 214,191 shares from Treasury for stock option transactions, 232,166 for non-vested shares, and 84,021 shares for Director Stock Unit Program transactions (See Note 3). In 2008, the Company issued 311,616 shares from Treasury for stock option transactions, 273,326 for non-vested shares, and 61,266 shares for Director Stock Unit Program transactions. In 2007, the Company issued 103,333 shares from Treasury for stock option transactions and 49,196 shares from Treasury for Director Stock Unit Program transactions.

(11) Employee Benefit Plans

The Company offers one of two 401(k) defined contribution plans to its eligible employees. In 2005, a newly-created defined contribution plan was offered to NAGalv-Ohio, Inc. employees, formerly covered by a bargaining contract with Gregory Industries, Inc. All other employees not covered by a bargaining contract become eligible to enroll in the existing benefit plan after one year of service with the Company. Aggregate Company contributions under these benefit plans were $555,000 in 2009, $505,000 in 2008 and $333,000 in 2007. Assets of the defined contribution plan consisted of short-term investments, intermediate bonds, long-term bonds and listed stocks.

FS - 30

(12) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of financial instruments included in current assets and liabilities approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt at December 31, 2009 was estimated to approximate carrying value based on the borrowing rates available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities.

(13) Union Contracts

NAGC’s labor agreement with the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union covering production workers at its Tulsa, Oklahoma galvanizing plants expired during 2006. The union ratified a two-year extension of the expiring agreement, with minor modifications, extending the expiration date of the agreement to October 31, 2008. The extension of the agreement brought employee contributions to the group health plan more closely in line with contributions made by non-union employees of the Company. In 2008, after several of the employees who were covered by the agreement petitioned the National Labor Relations Board for a decertification vote, a decertification election was scheduled to be held on September 25, 2008. However, on September 22, 2008, the union filed a “disclaimer of interest” with the National Labor Relations Board, which denotes that the union is withdrawing its representation of the Company's Tulsa employees. Thus, the union has been decertified and the employees covered by that agreement are no longer represented by the union.

The United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union represented the labor force at the galvanizing facility purchased in Canton, Ohio in February 2005. At the time of purchase, NAGalv-Ohio, Inc. did not assume the existing labor agreement and implemented wage and benefit programs similar to those at the Company’s other galvanizing facilities. In the fourth quarter of 2006, negotiations with the union were finalized. The union ratified an agreement effective from November 13, 2006 to November 12, 2009. The agreement contains wage and benefit programs similar to those implemented in February, 2005. In November 2009, the union ratified another agreement which is effective until November 17, 2012. The latest agreement continues wage and benefit programs similar to those at the Company’s other galvanizing facilities.

(14) Segment Disclosures

The Company’s sole business is hot dip galvanizing and coatings, which is conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary, North American Galvanizing Company.

(15) Stockholders’ Equity

During the second quarter 2009, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of North American Galvanizing & Coatings, Inc. (the “Company”) provided written consent approving an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, pursuant to the Company’s consent solicitation authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. Through the written consent, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 18,000,000 shares to 25,000,000 shares.

The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of Delaware on April 2, 2009, which provided that the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock which the Company had authority to issue was 25,000,000 shares.

FS - 31

Shareholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting on July 29, 2009 approved a proposal to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 25,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares.

The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of Delaware on January 12, 2010, which provides that the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock which the Company shall have authority to issue is 50,000,000 shares.

(16) Subsequent Event

During February 2010, the Company received a partial insurance payment of $3.6 million related to the St. Louis fire (See Note 2). As of December 31, 2009 the Company had recorded a $1.6 million receivable from insurance. The claim with the insurance company is not complete and the Company expects to receive additional proceeds from insurance. Insurance proceeds received in excess of the losses due to the fire would be recognized in the period received.
