PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

a.: GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

International Aluminum Corporation is an integrated building products manufacturer of diversified lines of quality aluminum, vinyl and wood products. The Company was incorporated in California in 1963 as successor to an aluminum fabricating business begun in 1957 and maintains its executive offices at 767 Monterey Pass Road, Monterey Park, California 91754. The Company's telephone number is (323) 264-1670. Reference to the "Registrant", "International Aluminum Corporation" or the "Company" includes International Aluminum Corporation and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.

b.: INDUSTRY SEGMENTS, LINES OF BUSINESS AND CLASSES OF PRODUCTS

This information is included on pages 4 and 15 of the Registrant's 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders and is hereby incorporated by reference.

c.: NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Processes and Products

Residential

Residential products are fabricated from aluminum, vinyl and wood into a broad line of horizontal sliding windows, vertical sliding windows, casement windows, garden windows, bay and bow windows, special configuration windows, louvre windows, patio doors, tub enclosures, shower doors, wardrobe mirror doors and related products. These products are used in new residential construction and in remodeling, home improvement and replacement.

Commercial

Commercial products are fabricated from aluminum into curtain walls, window walls, slope glazed systems, storefront framing, entrance doors and frames for exterior applications and officefronts, office partitions, doors and frames for interior applications. These products are utilized in varying combinations to produce systems used for office and commercial construction, remodeling and tenant improvement applications.

Aluminum Extrusion

In the extrusion process, heated aluminum billets are hydraulically forced through steel dies to produce a piece of metal of the desired cross-sectional shape and length. The extrusions are then cut and, when requested, anodized or painted in a variety of finishes in the Company's anodizing and painting departments.

Aluminum extrusions produced by the Company are used in fabricating substantially all of its other aluminum products. In addition, during fiscal 2001 approximately 43% of the extrusions produced were sold to users in its own or other industries, including manufacturers of fixtures, electronic equipment, automotive products, sailboats, skylights and truck bodies. The Company furnishes design services to assist its customers in developing or better utilizing custom extrusions.

Sales and Distribution

The Company markets its residential products primarily to mass merchandisers, builders, independent dealers and distributors, with whom the Company has no long-term contracts. Commercial building products are marketed primarily to glazing and tenant improvement contractors. Aluminum extrusions are marketed principally by direct sales to other manufacturers.

Each of the Company's subsidiaries has its own administrative and sales organizations. Sales are made primarily in North America.

No customer accounted for more than 5% of net sales in 2001, and no material part of the business is dependent upon a single customer or a few customers, the loss of any one or more of whom would have a materially adverse effect on the business of the Company. The Company does business on a current basis and has no significant backlog of unfilled firm orders.

Seasonality

Sales of products designed for residential and commercial applications are subject to cyclical swings in new construction and seasonal fluctuations due to reduced construction activity in some marketing areas during the winter months (second and third quarters).

Materials

The Company purchases its aluminum ingot requirements from primary aluminum producers or spot metal brokers. Although increased worldwide demand produces periods of tight supply of aluminum ingot and scrap, the Company has had satisfactory experience to date in obtaining sufficient raw materials to meet its requirements and does not anticipate material shortages that would significantly hamper its operations.

Flat glass is purchased from domestic glass manufacturers. The Company has had satisfactory experience to date in obtaining sufficient glass to meet its requirements.

The Company produces the aluminum extrusions used in the products it manufactures and sells. Vinyl, wood, hardware and small parts are purchased from outside sources.

Working Capital

To maintain an adequate supply of aluminum to meet customer delivery requirements and to assure itself of a continuous allotment of materials from its suppliers, the Company at times carries a significant inventory of aluminum ingot. Depending on price and availability, bulk quantities of ingot are purchased from either primary aluminum producers or from spot metal brokers.

The Company does not believe there are any abnormal working capital requirements associated with any of its product groups as merchandise is normally produced for specific customer orders or shipped from inventory and as a general practice extended payment terms are not granted to customers.

Employees

As of June 30, 2001, the Company had approximately 1,750 full-time employees.

Patents

The Company has no material patents, either issued or pending, and is not a party to any significant licensing agreements.

Competition and Risk

The business of International Aluminum is highly competitive. Competition in all product lines is on the basis of price, service and product quality. The manner and extent of such competition depends on the product being marketed and the relevant marketing area. In selling its residential products to mass merchandisers, dealers and distributors, the Company faces competition primarily from numerous fabricators. Several of the Company's major competitors in selling commercial products and aluminum extrusions are substantially larger, more diversified and have greater resources than the Company.

The Company anticipates that expansion of its product lines may result in its competing with certain of its present customers. While the Company cannot accurately predict the effect, if any, that such development will have on its business, the Company anticipates no material adverse effect.

Since a substantial portion of the Company's business is connected with residential and commercial building construction, any significant decrease in new or remodeling construction could adversely affect revenues. Experience has shown that high interest rates for construction financing and residential mortgage and home improvement loans may adversely affect revenues.

Environmental Controls

The Company's domestic aluminum extrusion, anodizing, painting and manufacturing facilities are subject to water and air pollution control standards mandated by federal, state and local law. While the Company anticipates no material capital expenditures to meet established environmental quality control standards, there can be no assurance that more stringent standards will not be established which might require such expenditures.

The information concerning income before taxes of foreign and domestic operations for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 is set forth in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included on page 14 of the Company's 2001 Annual Report incorporated herein by reference.
