INVESTOR PRESENTATION

Exhibit 99.1

Cautionary Statement Regarding

Forward-Looking Statements

2

Certain statements and information in this presentation may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of

the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The words "believe," “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,”

"guidance," "potential," "expect," "should," "will" or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking

statements (including those contained in certain visual depictions) in this presentation. These forward-looking statements

reflect the Company's current expectations and/or beliefs concerning future events.  The Company has made every

reasonable effort to ensure that the information, estimates, forecasts and assumptions on which these statements are

based are current, reasonable and complete. However, these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks

and uncertainties that may cause the Company's actual performance to differ materially from that projected in such

statements.  Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, industry

cyclicality and seasonality and adverse weather conditions; ability to service or refinance the Company's existing debt or

obtain future financing; failure to comply with financial tests and restrictive covenants contained in the Company’s

existing and future debt obligations; recognition of asset impairment charges; fluctuations in customer demand and other

patterns; raw material pricing and supply, including steel; competitive activity and pricing pressure; general economic

conditions affecting the markets we serve; current economic volatility in the U.S. and abroad; pending legal proceedings,

claims and governmental proceedings; costs related to environmental cleanups and liabilities; changes in laws or

regulations; the volatility of the Company's stock price; and the substantial rights, seniority and dilutive effect on our

common stockholders of the convertible preferred stock issued to investment funds affiliated with CD&R, LLC. See also the

"Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 30, 2011, and in its

subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q which identify other important factors, though not necessarily all such

factors, that could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.  The

Company expressly disclaims any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to these forward-looking

statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. 

This presentation may also contain non-GAAP financial information. The Company’s management uses this information in

its internal analysis of results and believes that this information may be informative to investors in gauging the quality of

the Company’s financial performance, identifying trends in our results and providing meaningful period-to-period

comparisons. For additional information regarding these non-GAAP measures, including any required reconciliations to

the most directly comparable financial measure calculated according to GAAP, see in the Appendix section of this

presentation.

NCI Plan

The CRU North American Steel Price Index has been published by the CRU since 1994. It’s based on a survey of industry participants and is commonly used in

the settlement of physical and financial contracts within the steel industry. The prices surveyed are purchases for forward delivery, according to lead time,

which will vary by approximately one to two months. To better align with NCI’s fiscal year, the values shown are from October of each year. (1994 Index = 100)

Key Terms Regarding Dividend Payments

Dividends may be paid in cash (8% annual rate) or in-kind (12% annual rate) at the Company’s option:

Credit facility restrictions:

Cash dividend payments are generally limited under our term loan

to 50% of the consolidated net income accumulated

subsequent to August 2, 2009, subject to specified adjustments, less the sum of all previous distributions. The term loan

permits the payment of cash dividends up to a maximum of 14.5 million during the term of the loan in the absence of

accumulated earnings.

Dividend Elimination or “knock-out”:

The dividend rate becomes 0% permanently, if at any time after April 2012 the trading price of our common stock exceeds

$12.75 (adjusted for stock splits, etc.) for 20 consecutive trading days. However, in the event of a default, as defined,

certain penalty dividends may be required.

Note – Subsequent to October 30, 2011, the Company entered into a Waiver and Consent with the CD&R Funds in which the CD&R Funds agreed to accept a paid-in-kind

dividend on their Preferred Shares for the dividend payment period ending December 15, 2011 computed at the per annum rate of 8% rather than the 12%. The Company

waived certain rights through October 28, 2012 to issue up to $5 million worth of its Common Stock. As a result of accruing the dividend at the stated 12% rate, and

subsequently agreeing to the lower 8% rate, a dividend accrual reversal of $1.4 million will be recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 related to dividends accrued 

between September 16, 2011 and October 30, 2011. There is no assurance that the holders of preferred stock will agree to the lower rate of 8% in future periods. At

October 31, 2010 and October 30, 2011, the liquidation preference of the Series B was $292.5 million and $296.8 million, respectively.

Simplified Beneficial Conversion Feature (BCF)

Charge Illustration for Paid In-Kind Dividends

(1)

The daily dividend amount is determined quarterly based on the underlying amount of convertible preferred stock outstanding. The daily dividend

amount is accrued

at

an

annual

rate

of

12%

but

if

it

is

later

paid

in

cash

instead

of

in-kind,

the

excess 4% dividend and the related beneficial conversion

feature

charge

would

be

eliminated

in

the

period

in

which

it

is

paid.

The

Company

has

the

option

to

pay

the

dividends

in

cash

at

8%

or

in-kind at 12%,

subject to restrictions in the credit facilities for our term loan and ABL revolver. Further, if at any time after April 2012, our stock trades above $12.75 for

20 consecutive trading days, the underlying basic preferred stock dividends are permanently eliminated thereafter.

(2)

The conversion price of $6.374 reflects the adjustment for the one-for-five reverse stock split that occurred in March 2010.

(3)

The amount of the beneficial conversion feature charged in any quarter will be the sum of the daily BCF amounts calculated as illustrated above and will

depend on the daily closing

price

of

our

stock

in

relation

to

the

$6.374

conversion

price.

The

charge

is

limited

or

“capped”

at

the

underlying dividend

amount. As an example, based on a daily stock price ranging between $8 and $15, the estimated quarterly charge would be $2 million to $7.9 million.

Diluted Earnings Per Share, Two Class Method

c

a

b

c

Earnings are allocated between those securities that have rights to participate in future dividend distributions based on their relative weighted average 

ownership interests. Losses are not allocated to participating securities because they are not contractually obligated to fund or otherwise share in those losses.

Example B assumes that stock options are dilutive after having applied the treasury stock method.

If using the “if converted” method resulted in lower diluted earnings per share than the two class method, the lower amount would generally be reported. 

However, given the Company’s capital structure, this is not likely to occur.

45

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Diluted Share

a

b

The Company discloses a tabular comparison of “Adjusted” earnings (loss) per diluted common share and net income (loss), which are non-GAAP measures because they are referred to in the text

of our press releases and are instrumental in comparing the results from  period to period.  “Adjusted” diluted earnings (loss) per common share and net income (loss) should not be considered in

isolation or as a substitute for earnings (loss) per diluted common share and net income (loss) as reported on the face of our consolidated statement of operations.

   

On March 5, 2010, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split at an exchange ratio of 1-for-5. As such, we have retrospectively adjusted   

    basic and diluted earnings per common share, common stock, stock options, and common stock equivalents for the reverse stock split in all periods presented.

On October 20, 2009, the Company amended and restated its Term Note facility which defines adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash charges for goodwill and other asset impairments,

lower of cost or market charges and stock compensation as well as certain non-recurring charges. As such, the historical information is presented in accordance with the definition above. Concurrent

with the amendment and restatement of the Term Note facility, the Company entered into an Asset-Backed Lending facility which has substantially the same definition of adjusted EBITDA except that

the ABL facility caps certain non-recurring charges. The Company is disclosing adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, because it is used by management and provided to investors to provide

comparability of underlying operational results.

Amounts have been retrospectively adjusted as a result of the adoption, effective November 2, 2009, of ASC Subtopic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” as well as certain additional

reclassifications due  to the further integration of RCC and the rationalization of our operations.

Environmental and Energy Efficiency

ASHRAE 90.1 -

2010 has been released and the DOE is

requiring states to certify compliance by 2013

ASHRAE 189.1 has been adopted by the U.S. Army as

the preferred green standard for their work.

California is expected to greatly increase their

Cool Roof Requirements in 2013.

LEED continues to increase in popularity.  LEED documentation

was issued for more than 170 projects in fiscal 2011 company-

wide.

International Green Construction Code (IgCC)

development is complete

Did not have expected huge R-Value increase for metal 

building construction

Has Cool Roof and Continuous Air Barrier requirements

Scheduled to publish in March 2012.

Has Cool Roof, Air Barrier and greatly increased R-Value

requirements

New provisions allow advantage for long-term performance Cool Roofs

NCI Green Benefits

58

Metal construction products:

Have 30%-60% post-consumer recycled content

Are highly durable and have long life spans

Are Virtually 100% recyclable

Through the use of Cool Roof colors with improved solar

reflectivity and emissivity values we are able to:

Reduce the heat island effect, which affects local climate conditions

and exacerbates pollution and initiates local micro climate changes

Lower energy consumption in warmer climates

Insulated Metal Panels provide higher R-Values per inch,

insulation continuity, and a continuous air barrier, increasing

energy efficiency.  Using less energy:

Decreases Green House Gas emissions

Lowers operating costs

Reduces dependence on foreign fuel

Environmental  

Economic

Health and Community

Regulatory Requirements

59

The building envelope is being required to

support many of the regulatory demands to

increase energy efficiency for the complete

building system.

The reduction of air infiltration is the next major step

in code requirements towards improving the energy

efficiency of a building envelope.

NCI manufactures products that meet these requirements today.

Assembly Air Infiltration

Assembly Air Filtration Sources:

American Society of Heating Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, Addendum bf, First Public Review, June 2009.

MBCI Engineering technical Bulletin Nos. 202-01-00 and 175-01-97, Revised 02-27-2002; 310-05-01, 04-28-2010; FET Report T129-09, 02-19-09; and Eco-ficient Technical Information Manual.

Note: Air infiltration volumes are measured at reference pressures that sometimes don’t match depending on the applicable standard.  In order to compare values, infiltration rates shown

have been normalized to ASHRAE’s reference pressure of 1.57 psf.  Actual data ran at the reference pressure will vary somewhat from this.

R-Value Source: American Society of Heating Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, Versions as noted.

Note: These values are based on averages of all construction types, excluding mass walls, of all climate zones.

Photovoltaic Systems

Solar photovoltaic systems are quite suitable to metal

roofs, lowering the lifetime cost per watt.

Decreased installation expense

Roof and module life span compatibility

Lower risk due to the lack of roof penetrations

These systems can be sold in three ways depending on size

and viability as a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) project:

Predesigned kits

Custom designed systems

Turnkey PPAs through a third party

Thin Film

Crystalline

Photovoltaic Systems

Improved efficiency in low or inclined

light conditions

Factory Applied

Approximately 6 Watts per square foot

rated capacity

More efficient in bright/direct sun

Inexpensive and readily available

locally

Approximately 12 Watts per square

foot rated capacity

Actual production can be predicted and design optimized using solar modeling software.

The cost per watt of these two systems varies from $4.75/Watt to

$3.00/Watt as the system

size increases.

Advantages of Metal Roofs

Crystalline

61

Metal is the only roof material that outlives PV system

Saves cost of removal and replacement involved with other roof materials

Penetration-free mounting

Crystalline modules are mechanically connected

Thin-film modules are adhered

Rail systems typically used on flat roof systems can be eliminated

Metal roofing can offer the lowest in-place cost over the lifetime of the PV system
