by Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority, to furnish approximately 24,000 linear feet of 78&#148; steel water pipe and fittings. The value of the pipe order is approximately $6,200,000. The pipe will be manufactured at the Saginaw facility of
Northwest Pipe Company. Delivery will begin in the fourth quarter 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority is a partnership of the cities of
Cedar Park, Leander and Round Rock, Texas. All three cities have supply contracts with the Lower Colorado River Authority for water from Lake Travis and this project will provide the facilities to access, treat and deliver this water to their
customers. Rather than three communities building three separate projects, this regional option affords the partners the opportunity to realize economies of scale by building a single water supply project. </FONT></P> <P

our expectations in the second quarter&#148; said Brian Dunham. &#147;Our selling prices for this group continued to decline throughout the quarter instead of leveling off as we had expected. Our average selling price in the second quarter was down
approximately 30% from the first quarter. While we are in the process of finalizing our results, obviously this will have a negative effect on both our revenues and gross margins. Effective cost control during the quarter helped to offset this
impact. Preliminary results in the Water Transmission Group, in contrast to Tubular Products, are much closer to expectations.&#148; The Company will release earnings at 8:00 a.m. Eastern time on the 29</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
