NOTES TO UNAUDITED

CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements (the "Financial Statements") include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and partnerships, and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

In our opinion, the Financial Statements contain all material adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements, and footnotes thereto, included in our Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2010.

Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Under ASU 2011-05, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate consecutive statements. The amended guidance is effective for financial periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

B.	FAIR VALUE

We apply the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Assets measured at fair value are as follows:

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

	June 25, 2011					June 26, 2010
(in thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Prices with Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Prices with Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Total
Recurring:
Money market funds	$	84		$	84	$	64			$	64
Mutual funds:
Domestic stock funds		570			570		436				436
International stock funds		539			539		395				395
Target funds		153			153		114				114
Bond funds		105			105		49				49
Total mutual funds		1,367			1,367		994				994
Non-Recurring:
Property, plant and equipment								$	165		165
	$	1,451		$	1,451	$	1,058	$	165	$	1,223

Mutual funds are valued at prices quoted in an active exchange market and are held in “Other Assets”. Property, plant and equipment are valued based on active market prices and other relevant information for sales of similar assets. We have elected not to apply the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, to any of our financial instruments except for those expressly required by U.S. GAAP.

We do not maintain any Level 3 assets or liabilities that would be based on significant unobservable inputs.

C.	REVENUE RECOGNITION

Earnings on construction contracts are reflected in operations using either percentage-of-completion accounting, which includes the cost to cost and units of delivery methods, or completed contract accounting, depending on the nature of the business at individual operations. Under percentage-of-completion using the cost to cost method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual costs incurred related to the total estimated costs. Under percentage-of-completion using the units of delivery method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual units produced related to the total number of units. Revisions in earnings estimates on the construction contracts are recorded in the accounting period in which the basis for such revisions becomes known. Projected losses on individual contracts are charged to operations in their entirety when such losses become apparent. Under the completed contract method, revenues and related earnings are recorded when the contracted work is complete and losses are charged to operations in their entirety when such losses become apparent.

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

The following table presents the balances of percentage-of-completion accounts which are included in “Other current assets” and “Accrued liabilities: Other”, respectively (in thousands):

	June 25, 2011		December 25, 2010		June 26, 2010

D.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

A reconciliation of the changes in the numerator and the denominator from the calculation of basic EPS to the calculation of diluted EPS follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended June 25, 2011						Three Months Ended June 26, 2010
	Income (Numerator)		Shares (Denominator)		Per Share Amount		Income (Numerator)		Shares (Denominator)		Per Share Amount

Net Earnings Attributable to Controlling Interest	$	4,277					$	13,716

EPS – Basic Income available to common stockholders		4,277		19,413	$	0.22		13,716		19,259	$	0.71

Effect of dilutive securities Options				133						272

EPS - Diluted Income available to common stockholders and assumed options exercised	$	4,277		19,546	$	0.22	$	13,716		19,531	$	0.70

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

	Six Months Ended June 25, 2011						Six Months Ended June 26, 2010
	Income (Numerator)		Shares (Denominator)		Per Share Amount		Income (Numerator)		Shares (Denominator)		Per Share Amount

Net Earnings Attributable to Controlling Interest	$	607					$	14,703

EPS – Basic Income available to common stockholders		607		19,360	$	0.03		14,703		19,258	$	0.76

EPS - Diluted Income available to common stockholders and assumed options exercised	$	607		19,513	$	0.03	$	14,703		19,524	$	0.75

Options to purchase 30,000 shares were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the quarter ended June 25, 2011 because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period and, therefore would be antidilutive.

Options to purchase 10,000 shares were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended June 25, 2011 because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period and, therefore would be antidilutive.

No options were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the quarter and six months ended June 26, 2010.

E.	ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND NET LOSS ON DISPOSITION OF ASSETS, EARLY RETIRMENT AND OTHER IMPAIRMENTS AND EXIT CHARGES

Included in “Assets held for sale” on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets are certain property, plant and equipment totaling $5.1 million on June 25, 2011. The assets held for sale consist of certain vacant land and facilities we previously closed to better align manufacturing capacity with the current business environment. The fair values were determined based on appraisals or recent offers to acquire assets. These and other idle assets were evaluated based on the requirements of ASC 360, which resulted in impairment and other exit charges included in “Net loss on disposition of assets, early retirement and other impairment and exit charges” for the periods presented below. These amounts include the following, separated by reporting segment (in thousands):

Our chief executive officer resigned on June 20, 2011; on that same date we entered into a consulting and non-competition agreement with him. Therefore, we accrued for the present value of the future payments to him totaling $2.6 million at the end of June 2011. This amount is included in “severances and early retirement” expenses under Corporate in the table above.

The changes in assets held for sale are as follows (in thousands):

F.	COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND GUARANTEES

We are self-insured for environmental impairment liability, including certain liabilities which are insured through a wholly owned subsidiary, UFP Insurance Ltd., a licensed captive insurance company.

We own and operate a number of facilities throughout the United States that chemically treat lumber products. In connection with the ownership and operation of these and other real properties, and the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances, we may, under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, be potentially liable for removal and remediation costs, as well as other potential costs, damages, and expenses. Environmental reserves, calculated with no discount rate, have been established to cover remediation activities at our affiliates’ wood preservation facilities in Stockertown, PA; Elizabeth City, NC; Auburndale, FL; Gordon, PA; Janesville, WI; and Medley, FL. In addition, a reserve was established for our affiliate’s facility in Thornton, CA to remove certain lead containing materials which existed on the property at the time of purchase. During 2009, a subsidiary entered into a consent order with the State of Florida to conduct additional testing at the Auburndale, FL facility. We admitted no liability and the costs are not expected to be material.

On a consolidated basis, we have reserved approximately $3.3 million on June 25, 2011 and $4.2 million on June 26, 2010, representing the estimated costs to complete future remediation efforts. These amounts have not been reduced by an insurance receivable.

From time to time, various special interest environmental groups have petitioned certain states requesting restrictions on the use or disposal of CCA treated products. The wood preservation industry trade groups are working with the individual states and their regulatory agencies to provide an accurate, factual background which demonstrates that the present method of uses and disposal is scientifically supported. Our affiliates market a modest amount of CCA treated products for permitted, non-residential applications.

We have not accrued for any potential loss related to the contingencies above. However, potential liabilities of this nature are not conducive to precise estimates and are subject to change.

In addition, on June 25, 2011, we were parties either as plaintiff or defendant to a number of lawsuits and claims arising through the normal course of our business. In the opinion of management, our consolidated financial statements will not be materially affected by the outcome of these contingencies and claims.

On June 25, 2011, we had outstanding purchase commitments on capital projects of approximately $4.9 million.

We provide a variety of warranties for products we manufacture. Historically, warranty claims have not been material. We distribute products manufactured by other companies, some of which are no longer in business. While we do not warrant these products, we have received claims as a distributor of these products when the manufacturer no longer exists or has the ability to pay. Historically, these costs have not had a material affect on our consolidated financial statements.

In certain cases we supply building materials and labor to site-built construction projects or we jointly bid on contracts with framing companies for such projects. In some instances we are required to post payment and performance bonds to insure the owner that the products and installation services are completed in accordance with our contractual obligations. We have agreed to indemnify the surety for claims made against the bonds. As of June 25, 2011, we had approximately $26.8 million in outstanding payment and performance bonds, which expire during the next two years. In addition, approximately $19.7 million in payment and performance bonds are outstanding for completed projects which are still under warranty.

We have entered into operating leases for certain assets that include a guarantee of a portion of the residual value of the leased assets. If, at the expiration of the initial lease term we do not exercise our option to purchase the leased assets and these assets are sold by the lessor for a price below a predetermined amount, we will reimburse the lessor for a certain portion of the shortfall. These operating leases will expire periodically over the next three years. The estimated maximum aggregate exposure of these guarantees is approximately $0.6 million.

On June 25, 2011, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $31.3 million, primarily related to certain insurance contracts and industrial development revenue bonds described further below.

In lieu of cash deposits, we provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of our insurers to guarantee our performance under certain insurance contracts. We currently have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $18.9 million for these types of insurance arrangements. We have reserves recorded on our balance sheet, in accrued liabilities, that reflect our expected future liabilities under these insurance arrangements.

We are required to provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of the bond trustees for all of the industrial development revenue bonds that we have issued. These letters of credit guarantee principal and interest payments to the bondholders. We currently have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $12.4 million related to our outstanding industrial development revenue bonds. These letters of credit have varying terms but may be renewed at the option of the issuing banks.

Certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the indebtedness of Universal Forest Products, Inc. in certain debt agreements, including the Series 2002-A Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility. The maximum exposure of these guarantees is limited to the indebtedness outstanding under these debt arrangements and this exposure will expire concurrent with the expiration of the debt agreements.

Many of our wood treating operations utilize "Subpart W" drip pads, defined as hazardous waste management units by the EPA. The rules regulating drip pads require that the pad be “closed” at the point that it is no longer intended to be used for wood treating operations or to manage hazardous waste. Closure involves identification and disposal of contaminants which are required to be removed from the facility. The cost of closure is dependent upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, identification and removal of contaminants, cleanup standards that vary from state to state, and the time period over which the cleanup would be completed. Based on our present knowledge of existing circumstances, it is considered probable that these costs will approximate $0.7 million. As a result, this amount is recorded in other long-term liabilities on June 25, 2011.

We did not enter into any new guarantee arrangements during the second quarter of 2011 which would require us to recognize a liability on our balance sheet.

H.	SEGMENT REPORTING

ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Our operating segments consist of Eastern, Western, Atlantic, Consumer Products and Distribution divisions. In accordance with ASC 280, due to similar economic characteristics, nature of products, distribution methods, and customers, we have aggregated our Eastern and Western operating segments into one reportable segment. The Atlantic division is considered a separate reportable segment. Our other divisions do not collectively form a reportable segment because their respective operations are dissimilar and they do not meet the applicable quantitative requirements. These operations have been included in the “All Other” column of the table below.

I.	INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to provisions for state and local income taxes and permanent tax differences. Our effective tax rate was 35.8% in the second quarter of 2011 and 36.5% for same period of 2010. Our effective tax rate was 17.0% in the first six months of 2011, which was well below our statutory rate, primarily due to the profits of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, which have a lower tax rate, and our non-wholly owned partnerships that we consolidate, which comprised a greater percentage of our year to date profits than in the prior year period.

We are pleased to present this overview of 2011.

OVERVIEW

Our results for the second quarter of 2011 were impacted by the following:

Our overall unit sales decreased 4% compared to the second quarter of 2010 due to a decline in sales to our retail building materials, residential construction, and manufactured housing markets, offset by increases in unit sales to our commercial construction and concrete forming and industrial markets. We believe we gained additional share of the commercial construction, concrete forming and industrial markets we serve. Share gains in our industrial market were achieved by adding many new customers. We believe we have maintained our share of the retail building materials market based on the number of stores we serve of our customers compared to last year. Finally, within the last year we closed several plants that supply the site-built construction market in order to achieve profitability and cash flow goals. Consequently, we believe that these actions may temporarily cause us to lose some market share.

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

·	The Lumber Market was down 16.4% in the quarter compared to the same period of 2010. We estimate that lower lumber prices reduced our overall selling prices by approximately 10% comparing the second quarter of 2011 and 2010.

·	National housing starts decreased approximately 11% in the period from March through May of 2011 (our sales trail housing starts by about a month), compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to the expiration of certain housing-related government tax credits in 2010.

·	Shipments of HUD code manufactured homes were down 14% in April and May of 2011, compared to the same period of 2010. Shipments of manufactured homes were also positively impacted by certain housing-related tax credits in 2010 that have now expired.

Our gross profit percentage decreased to 10.4% from 12.2% comparing the second quarter of 2011 with the same period of 2010. In addition, our gross profit dollars decreased by 27% comparing the second quarter of 2011 with the same period of 2010, which compares unfavorably to our 4% decrease in unit sales. The decline in our gross margin and profitability this quarter was due to several factors.

Most notably, gross margins on sales to the retail building materials market declined 230 basis points for the quarter resulting primarily from an increase in material costs as a percentage of sales to this market. This was primarily due to the Lumber Market, which decreased 11 consecutive weeks from the end of March 2011 through the end of May 2011. As a result, this adversely impacted our gross margins on products whose prices were indexed to the current Lumber Market at the time they are sold.

A decline in sales to our retail building materials, residential construction, and manufactured housing markets adversely impacted our margins due to fixed manufacturing costs. In addition, as these markets have contracted, competitive pricing pressure has become greater and adversely impacted 2011 margins.

We recorded a $2 million loss during the second quarter of 2011 on a construction project, which represents the entire loss we believe we will incur on the project.

Finally, our freight costs increased as a percentage of sales this quarter primarily due to higher year over year fuel prices.

·	Our chief executive officer resigned on June 20, 2011; on that same date we entered into a consulting and non-competition agreement with him. Therefore, we accrued for the present value of the future payments to him totaling $2.6 million at the end of June 2011.

IMPACT OF THE LUMBER MARKET ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS

We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers ("Lumber Market"). We generally try to price our products to pass lumber costs through to our customers so that our profitability is based on the value-added manufacturing, distribution, engineering, and other services we provide. As a result, our sales levels (and working capital requirements) are impacted by the lumber costs of our products. Lumber costs are a significant percentage of our cost of goods sold.

Our gross margins are impacted by both (1) the relative level of the Lumber Market (i.e. whether prices are higher or lower from comparative periods), and (2) the trend in the market price of lumber (i.e. whether the price of lumber is increasing or decreasing within a period or from period to period). Moreover, as explained below, our products are priced differently. Some of our products have fixed selling prices, while the selling prices of other products are indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar adder to cover conversion costs and profits. Consequently, the level and trend of the Lumber Market impact our products differently.

Below is a general description of the primary ways in which our products are priced.

Products with fixed selling prices. These products include value-added products such as decking and fencing sold to DIY/retail customers, as well as trusses, wall panels and other components sold to the site-built construction market, and most industrial packaging products. Prices for these products are generally fixed at the time of the sales quotation for a specified period of time or are based upon a specific quantity. In order to maintain margins and reduce any exposure to adverse trends in the price of component lumber products, we attempt to lock in costs for these sales commitments with our suppliers. Also, the time period and quantity limitations generally allow us to re-price our products for changes in lumber costs from our suppliers.

Products with selling prices indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar "adder" to cover conversion costs and profits. These products primarily include treated lumber, remanufactured lumber, and trusses sold to the manufactured housing industry. For these products, we estimate the customers' needs and carry anticipated levels of inventory. Because lumber costs are incurred in advance of final sale prices, subsequent increases or decreases in the market price of lumber impact our gross margins. For these products, our margins are exposed to changes in the trend of lumber prices. As a result of the decline in the housing market and our sales to residential and commercial builders, a greater percentage of our sales fall into this general pricing category. Consequently, we believe our profitability may be impacted to a much greater extent to changes in the trend of lumber prices.

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

Changes in the trend of lumber prices have their greatest impact on the following products:

Products with significant inventory levels with low turnover rates, whose selling prices are indexed to the Lumber Market. In other words, the longer the period of time these products remain in inventory, the greater the exposure to changes in the price of lumber. This would include treated lumber, which comprises approximately 17% of our total sales. This exposure is less significant with remanufactured lumber, trusses sold to the manufactured housing market, and other similar products, due to the higher rate of inventory turnover. We attempt to mitigate the risk associated with treated lumber through vendor consignment inventory programs. (Please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.)

·	Products with fixed selling prices sold under long-term supply arrangements, particularly those involving multi-family construction projects. We attempt to mitigate this risk through our purchasing practices by locking in costs.

In addition to the impact of the Lumber Market trends on gross margins, changes in the level of the market cause fluctuations in gross margins when comparing operating results from period to period. This is explained in the following example, which assumes the price of lumber has increased from period one to period two, with no changes in the trend within each period.

	Period 1			Period 2

Lumber cost	$	300		$	400
Conversion cost		50			50
= Product cost		350			450
Adder		50			50
= Sell price	$	400		$	500
Gross margin		12.5	%		10.0	%

As is apparent from the preceding example, the level of lumber prices does not impact our overall profits, but does impact our margins. Gross margins are negatively impacted during periods of high lumber prices; conversely, we experience margin improvement when lumber prices are relatively low.

GROSS SALES

We design, manufacture and market wood and wood-alternative products for national home centers and other retailers, structural lumber and other products for the manufactured housing industry, engineered wood components for residential and commercial construction, and specialty wood packaging, components and packing materials for various industries. Our strategic long-term sales objectives include:

Diversifying our end market sales mix by increasing sales of specialty wood packaging to industrial users, increasing our penetration of the concrete forms market, increasing our sales of engineered wood components for custom home, multi-family and light commercial construction, increasing our market share with independent retailers, and expanding our product lines in each of the markets we serve.

·	Expanding geographically in our core businesses.

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

Increasing sales of "value-added" products and framing services. Value-added product sales primarily consist of fencing, decking, lattice, and other specialty products sold to the retail building materials market, specialty wood packaging, engineered wood components, and "wood alternative" products. Engineered wood components include roof trusses, wall panels, and floor systems. Wood alternative products consist primarily of composite wood and plastics. Although we consider the treatment of dimensional lumber with certain chemical preservatives a value-added process, treated lumber is not presently included in the value-added sales totals.

·	Developing new products and expanding our product offering for existing customers.

·	Maximizing unit sales growth while achieving return on investment goals.

Note:

In the second quarter of 2011, we made changes to our customer market classifications to improve our reporting by better aligning our customer market designations with available industry reporting and end market research. Prior year information has been restated to reflect these reclassifications. See also Exhibit 99(a).

Gross sales in the second quarter of 2011 decreased 14% compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to an estimated 4% decrease in overall unit sales and an estimated 10% decrease in overall selling prices due to the Lumber Market.

Gross sales in the first six months of 2011 decreased 9% compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to an estimated 3% decrease in overall unit sales and an estimated 6% decrease in overall selling prices due to the Lumber Market.

Changes in our sales by market are discussed below.

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

Retail Building Materials:

Gross sales to the retail building materials market decreased 19% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to an estimated 8% decrease in our overall unit sales and an estimated 11% decrease in our overall selling prices. Unit sales declined primarily due to a decrease in consumer spending for “big ticket” building materials products such as decking and fencing. As unemployment remains high and housing prices have decreased, we believe many homeowners have delayed plans for these projects. In the long-term, we believe this business will rebound as the economy improves and housing prices stabilize. In addition, our sales of composite decking have decreased as we are preparing to launch a new product in 2012.

Gross sales to the retail building materials market decreased 14% in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to an estimated 7% decrease in our overall unit sales and an estimated 7% decrease in our overall selling prices. Unit sales declined due to the same factors mentioned in the paragraph above.

Residential Construction:

Gross sales to the residential construction market decreased 15% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 due to a combination of a 15% decrease in unit sales as a result of operations we have recently closed and an estimated 8% decrease in selling prices, offset by an estimated 8% increase in unit sales out of existing plants as we have shifted our focus to the multi-family market. National housing starts decreased approximately 11% in the period from March through May of 2011 (our sales trail housing starts by about a month), compared to the same period of 2010. We have taken several recent plant closure actions in order to achieve profitability and cash flow objectives, which may temporarily result in a loss of market share.

Gross sales to the residential construction market decreased 13% in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 due to a combination of a 14% decrease in unit sales as a result of operations we have recently closed and an estimated 4% decrease in selling prices, offset by an estimated 5% increase in unit sales out of existing plants. National housing starts decreased approximately 9% in the period from December through May of 2011 (our sales trail housing starts by about a month), compared to the same period of 2010. We have taken several recent plant closure actions in order to achieve profitability and cash flow objectives, which may temporarily result in a loss of market share.

Commercial Construction and Concrete Forming:

Gross sales to the commercial construction and concrete forming market increased 23% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to an estimated 39% increase in our overall unit sales, offset by an estimated 16% decrease in our overall selling prices. Volume has increased as a result of adding a few large accounts this quarter.

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

Gross sales to the commercial construction and concrete forming market increased 13% in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to an estimated 20% increase in our overall unit sales, offset by an estimated 7% decrease in our overall selling prices.

Industrial:

Gross sales to the industrial market decreased 2% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to an estimated 7% increase in unit sales, offset by an estimated 9% decrease in overall selling prices. Our rate of growth slowed this quarter primarily due to a decline in demand of existing customers, which we believe is a reflection of a slowdown in manufacturing output in the U.S. In addition, we had a decline in sales of our Mexican partnership as changes in exchange rates have made their pricing in the U.S. less competitive resulting in a loss of volume. We added almost 300 new customers again this quarter which allowed us to continue to add market share and grow unit sales this quarter.

Gross sales to the industrial market increased 5% in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to an estimated 10% increase in unit sales, offset by an estimated 5% decrease in overall selling prices. Unit sales increased due to the same factors mentioned in the paragraph above.

Manufactured Housing and Recreation Vehicles:

Gross sales to the manufactured housing market decreased 22% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 2010, primarily due to a combination of a 13% decrease in unit sales out of existing operations and an estimated 11% decrease in overall selling prices, offset by a 2% increase in unit sales of new operations we acquired in 2010. Shipments of HUD code manufactured homes were down 14% in April and May of 2011, compared to the same period of 2010.

Gross sales to the manufactured housing market decreased 15% in the first six months of 2011 compared to 2010, primarily due to a combination of a 14% decrease in unit sales out of existing operations and an estimated 6% decrease in overall selling prices, offset by a 5% increase in unit sales of new operations we acquired in 2010. Shipments of HUD code manufactured homes were down 14% in January through May of 2011, compared to the same period of 2010.

COST OF GOODS SOLD AND GROSS PROFIT

We recorded a $2 million loss during the second quarter of 2011 on a construction project, which represents the entire loss we believe we will incur on the project.

Finally, our freight costs increased as a percentage of sales this quarter primarily due to higher year over year fuel prices.

Our gross profit percentage decreased to 10.5% from 12.6% comparing the first six months of 2011 with the same period of 2010. In addition, our gross profit dollars decreased by 24% comparing the first six months of 2011 with the same period of 2010, which compares unfavorably to our 3% decrease in unit sales. The decline in our gross margin and profitability this quarter was primarily due to the same factors discussed above. In addition, inclement weather in the first quarter resulted in many lost production days and adversely impacted our efficiencies and profitability.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased by approximately $8.7 million, or 16.1%, in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, while we reported a 4% decrease in unit sales. The decline in SG&A was primarily due to a decrease in accrued bonus expense, compensation and related expenses, and bad debt expense. At the end of the second quarter, we reduced our headcount and implemented certain other cost reductions. We estimate the annual cost savings of these actions to total about $10 million. Approximately $8 million was completed at the end of the second quarter which should favorably impact the third and fourth quarters.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased by approximately $10.7 million, or 10.4%, in the first six of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, while we reported a 3% decrease in unit sales. The decline in SG&A was primarily due to a decrease in accrued bonus expense and compensation and related expenses.

NET LOSS ON DISPOSITION OF ASSETS, EARLY RETIREMENT AND OTHER IMPAIRMENT AND EXIT CHARGES

We incurred approximately $0.9 million of charges in the first six months of 2011 and $384,000 in the first six months of 2010 relating to asset impairments and other costs associated with idled facilities and down-sizing efforts combined with early retirement expenses. These costs were offset by gains on disposition of property, plant and equipment totaling approximately $47,000 in the first six months of 2011.

We regularly review the performance of each our operations and make decisions to permanently or temporarily close operations based on a variety of factors including:

·	Current and projected earnings, cash flow and return on investment

·	Current and projected market demand

·	Market share

·	Competitive factors

·	Future growth opportunities

·	Personnel and management

We currently have 16 operations which are experiencing operating losses and negative cash flow for the first six months of 2011. The net book value of the long-lived assets of these operations, which could be subject to an impairment charge in the future, was $16.5 million at the end of June of 2011. In addition, these operations had future fixed operating lease payments totaling $1.3 million at the end of June of 2011.

INTEREST, NET

Net interest costs were comparable in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 as there have been no significant changes in our debt structure or borrowing rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, a summary of our cash flow statement (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended
	June 25, 2011			June 26, 2010
Cash from operating activities	$	(57,911	)	$	(55,973	)
Cash from investing activities		(10,726	)		(17,879	)
Cash from financing activities		16,603			7,137
Net change in cash and cash equivalents		(52,034	)		(66,715	)
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period		43,363			67,410
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period	$	(8,671	)	$	695

In general, we financed our growth in the past through a combination of operating cash flows, our revolving credit facility, industrial development bonds (when circumstances permit), and issuance of long-term notes payable at times when interest rates are favorable. We have not issued equity to finance growth except in the case of a large acquisition. We manage our capital structure by attempting to maintain a targeted ratio of debt to equity and debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe this is one of many important factors to maintaining a strong credit profile, which in turn helps ensure timely access to capital when needed. We are currently below our internal targets but plan to manage our capital structure conservatively in light of current economic conditions.

Seasonality has a significant impact on our working capital from March to August which historically resulted in negative or modest cash flows from operations in our first and second quarters. Conversely, we experience a substantial decrease in working capital from September to February which typically results in significant cash flow from operations in our third and fourth quarters. For comparative purposes, we have included the June 26, 2010 balances in the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets.

Due to the seasonality of our business and the effects of the Lumber Market, we believe our cash cycle (days of sales outstanding plus days supply of inventory less days payables outstanding) is a good indicator of our working capital management. Our cash cycle increased to 53 days in the first six months of 2011 from 43 days in the first six months of 2010, due to a 1 day increase in our receivables cycle combined with a 9 day increase in our days supply of inventory, due to much higher inventory levels this year. In preparation for the 2011 selling season, we changed our purchasing strategy to buy inventory earlier at opportune times in an attempt to protect margins and avoid buying as much inventory during the peak of the season when lumber prices tend to rise.

Cash used in operating activities was $57.9 million in the first six months of 2011, which was comprised of a $77.3 million increase in working capital since the end of 2010, offset by net earnings of $0.6 million and $18.8 million of non-cash expenses. Working capital increased primarily due to the usual seasonality of our business combined with higher inventory levels than we expected at the end of June primarily due to weaker sales to the retail building materials market than we planned. Based on the seasonality of our operations, we currently anticipate achieving strong cash flows from operations for the balance of the year as we move beyond our seasonal peak for working capital requirements and manage our inventories down to a level necessary to support current demand.

Capital expenditures were $12.2 million in the first six months of 2011. We currently plan to spend up to $35 million in 2011, which includes outstanding purchase commitments on existing capital projects totaling approximately $4.9 million on June 25, 2011. We intend to fund capital expenditures and purchase commitments through our operating cash flows for the balance of the year.

On June 25, 2011, we had $23.0 million outstanding on our $300 million revolving credit facility, which matures in February of 2012. The revolving credit facility also supports letters of credit totaling approximately $31.3 million on June 25, 2011. Financial covenants on the unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured notes include a minimum net worth requirement, minimum interest and fixed charge coverage tests, and a maximum leverage ratio. The agreements also restrict the amount of additional indebtedness we may incur and the amount of assets which may be sold. We were within all of our lending requirements on June 25, 2011.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations. We continually review our accounting policies and financial information disclosures. There have been no material changes in our policies or estimates since December 25, 2010.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt, which consists of a revolving credit facility and industrial development revenue bonds. We do not currently use interest rate swaps, futures contracts or options on futures, or other types of derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value, but not earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not influence fair market value, but do affect future earnings and cash flows. We do not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity, and as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on such debt until we would be required to refinance it.

We are subject to fluctuations in the price of lumber. We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers (the "Lumber Market"). A variety of factors over which we have no control, including government regulations, transportation, environmental regulations, weather conditions, economic conditions, and natural disasters, impact the cost of lumber products and our selling prices. While we attempt to minimize our risk from severe price fluctuations, substantial, prolonged trends in lumber prices can affect our sales volume, our gross margins, and our profitability. We anticipate that these fluctuations will continue in the future. (See “Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results.”)

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
