Note 18: SEGMENT INFORMATIONSFAS No. 131,"Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" requires disclosure of certain
information about operating segments, geographic areas in
which the Company operates, major customers, and products
and services. In accordance with SFAS No. 131, the Company
has determined it has four operating and three reportable
segments: Fiberglass-Composite Pipe,Water Transmission and
Infrastructure Products. The Fiberglass-Composite Pipe
Group manufactures and markets filament-wound and
molded composite fiberglass pipe, tubing, fittings and well
screens. The Water Transmission Group manufactures and
supplies concrete and steel pressure pipe, concrete nonpressure
pipe, protective linings for pipe, and fabricated
products including wind towers. The Infrastructure Products
Group consists of two operating segments, the Pole Products
and Hawaii Divisions, and manufactures and sells ready-mix
concrete, sand and aggregates, concrete pipe and culverts, and
concrete and steel lighting and traffic poles. In the prior
periods, the Company included a fourth reportable segment,
Performance Coatings & Finishes, which was sold August 1,
2006. The results from this segment have been reported as
discontinued operations for all reporting periods. Each of
these segments has a dedicated management team and is
managed separately, primarily because of differences in
products. TAMCO, the Company's equity method investment,
is not included in any of these segments. The Company's Chief
Operating Decision Maker is the Chief Executive Officer who
primarily reviews sales and income before interest, income
taxes and equity in earnings of joint venture for each operating
segment in making decisions about allocating resources and
assessing performance. The Company allocates certain selling,
general and administrative expenses to operating segments
utilizing assumptions believed to be appropriate in the
circumstances. Costs of shared services (e.g., costs of
Company-wide insurance programs or benefit plans) are
allocated to the operating segments based on revenue,wages or
net assets employed. Other items not related to current
operations or of an unusual nature, such as adjustments to
reflect inventory balances of certain steel inventories under the
last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method, certain unusual legal costs
and expenses, interest expense and income taxes, are not
allocated to the reportable segments.
The markets served by the Fiberglass-Composite Pipe Group
are worldwide in scope. The Water Transmission Group serves
primarily the western U.S. The Infrastructure Products
Group's quarry and ready-mix business operates exclusively in
Hawaii, and poles are sold throughout the U.S. Sales for export
or to any individual customer did not exceed 10% of
consolidated sales in 2006, 2005 or 2004.
In accordance with SFAS No. 131, the following table presents information related to each operating segment included in, and in a
manner consistent with, internal management reports. Inter-segment sales were not significant. Total assets by segment are those
assets that are used exclusively by such segment. Unallocated assets are principally cash, corporate property and equipment, and
investments. Long-lived assets consist of all long-term assets, excluding investments, goodwill, intangible assets, and deferred tax
assets.

The Company traditionally experiences lower sales during the first fiscal quarter because of seasonal patterns associated with weather and
contractor schedules. Operating results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 included a charge of $1,505,000 to adjust the year-end LIFO
reserve.
