7. The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that
are based on the Company's method of internal reporting, which
segregates its business by product category and production/distribution
process. Effective January 1, 2004, in accordance with the Company's
internal reporting, the Company changed its segment reporting from four
reportable segments to three. As a result of this change, two of the
operations in the wood segment were combined into the Primary
Manufactured Products Segment and two of the operations were combined
into the Other Component Manufactured Products Segment. The Company's
reportable segments are as follows:

Primary Manufactured Products - Utilizes various materials including
gypsum, particleboard, plywood, and fiberboard which are bonded by
adhesives or a heating process to a number of products including vinyl,
paper, foil, and high pressure laminate. These products are utilized to
produce furniture, shelving, wall, counter, and cabinet products with a
wide variety of finishes and textures.

Distribution - Distributes primarily pre-finished wall and ceiling
panels, particleboard, hardboard and vinyl siding, roofing products,
high pressure laminates, passage doors, building hardware, insulation,
and other products.

Other Component Manufactured Products - Includes aluminum extrusion and
fabricating, an adhesive division, two cabinet door divisions, and a
machine manufacturing division.

The table below presents unaudited information about the revenue and
operating income of those segments:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

After coming off of two approximate break-even years in 2002 and 2003, $.02
earnings per share in 2002 and a $.01 loss per share in 2003, the first quarter
of 2004 started out very similar to the 2003 first quarter. Net sales, which
decreased by 2.3% from the 2003 first quarter, continued to be affected by
shipment declines in the Manufactured Housing industry, which are at more than
forty year lows. Competitive pricing situations continued to put pressure on
gross margins, however, the Company's restructuring efforts in 2003 helped to
decrease operating losses by 44% from the 2003 first quarter. Operating expenses
for the first quarter of 2004 continued to be aligned with revenues as a
percentage of net sales when compared to the first quarter of 2003, and net
losses decreased by $.09 per share from $.20 per share loss in the first quarter
of 2003 to $.11 per share loss in the first quarter of 2004. Net sales to the
Manufactured Housing, Recreational Vehicle, and Industrial markets were 38%,
33%, and 29%, respectively, for the first three months of 2004, and 39%, 33%,
and 28%, respectively for the same period in 2003.

The Manufactured Housing industry continued to show shipment declines through
February. This industry has posted declines in fifty-five of the last sixty
months. In March, however, the Industry posted its first month of shipment
increases in twenty-four months with shipments being approximately 8% higher
than the March 2003 shipment number. For the first quarter of 2004, shipments
decreased by 5.5% from the first quarter of 2003. Shipments for the 2004 year
are projected to be higher than in 2003. While repossessed inventory levels have
been reduced to more manageable levels, the availability of dealer and retail
financing as well as overall jobs growth remain questionable and will have an
impact on future shipment levels.

The Recreational Vehicle Industry continued to post consistently strong shipment
levels with first quarter shipments 18.7% higher than in 2003. Shipments in this
industry have been greater than 300,000 units in four out of the last five years
and 2004 is expected to be at or above the 2003 level, which was the second
highest in the last twenty-five years. While rising gasoline prices have not had
a major impact on shipments in this industry in the last ten years, the
forecasted price increases for this year, or decreases in availability, could
have a negative effect on future shipment levels.

The Company remains focused on its efforts to increase penetration into the
industrial and other markets and in its efforts to further diversify its
business model and grow sales levels. Additionally, capital expenditures for
property and equipment will increase in 2004 in accordance with the Company's
strategic plan as will investment in personnel to help further direct the
Company's sales focus.


The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales
of certain items in the Company's Statements of Operations:

Quarter Ended
March 31,
2004 2003

Net sales 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of sales 88.4 89.5
Gross profit 11.6 10.5
Warehouse and delivery 4.8 4.7
Selling, general & administrative 7.9 7.7
Operating (loss) (1.1) (1.9)
Income taxes (credits) (0.5) (0.9)
Net (loss) (0.8) (1.3)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarter Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31,2003

Net Sales. Net sales decreased by $1.6 million, or 2.3% from $67.3
million at March 31, 2003 compared to $65.7 million at March 31, 2004. The

8



decrease is primarily attributable to the continued declines in shipment levels
in the Manufactured Housing Industry, which represent 38% of consolidated sales.
Manufactured Housing shipments were down 5.5% from the previous year. The
decreased sales as a result of the decline in Manufactured Housing shipments
were offset by a 18.7% increase in shipments in the Recreational Vehicle
Industry, which accounts for 33% of consolidated sales, and increased sales to
the Industrial and Other Markets, which accounts for 29% of consolidated sales.

Gross Profit. Gross Profit increased by $0.5 million, or 7.4% from $7.1
million in the first quarter of 2003 to $7.6 million in the first quarter of
2004. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased approximately 1.1%
from 10.5% in the first quarter of 2003 to 11.6% in the first quarter of 2004.
The increase in dollars and percent of net sales is primarily attributable to
the Company closing one of its unprofitable cabinet door divisions in the third
quarter of 2003, which resulted in decreased losses in the first quarter of
2004.

Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses
remained fairly constant at $3.2 million for both the first quarter of 2003 and
2004, and at 4.7% and 4.8% of net sales for both periods in 2003 and 2004,
respectively. The Company has continued its efforts to keep costs aligned with
revenues.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses remained constant at $5.2 million for the first quarter
of 2003 and 2004. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by 0.2% from 7.7% in the first quarter of 2003
to 7.9% in the first quarter of 2004. The increase in percent of net sales is
attributable to the decreased sales volume of 2.3%.

Operating Loss. Operating losses decreased by $0.6 million, or 44.0%
from a loss of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2003 to a loss of $0.7
million in the first quarter of 2004. The decrease is operating losses is
attributable to the factors described above.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net decreased by $56,000 due
to normal debt service requirements resulting in lower long-term debt
outstanding from quarter to quarter.

Net Loss. The Company recorded a net loss of $0.5 million in the first
quarter of 2004 compared to a net loss of $0.9 million in the same period in
2003. The decreased net loss is attributable to the factors described above.


Quarter Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2002

Net Sales. Net sales decreased approximately $7.9 million, or 10.6%,
from $75.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 to $67.3 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2003. This decrease is attributable to an approximate
26% decrease in units shipped in the Manufactured Housing Industry, which
represents approximately 39% of the Company's sales. Shipments in the
Recreational Vehicle Industry, which represents an additional 33% of the
Company's sales, were up more than 7% and helped to offset the continued
declines experienced by the Manufactured Housing Industry. The Company continued
its penetration into the Industrial and Other markets, which represent the
remaining 28% of the first quarter 2003 net sales.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased approximately $2.6 million, or
27.4%, from $9.7 million in 2002 to $7.1 million in 2003. As a percentage of net
sales, gross profit decreased by approximately 2.4%. Significant competitive
pricing pressures have forced the Company to reduce selling prices resulting in
decreased margins. Additionally, certain fixed costs have remained constant in
this period of declining sales volume.

Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses
decreased approximately $0.2 million, from $3.4 million for the first quarter of
2002 to $3.2 million in the same period in 2003. As a percentage of net sales,
warehouse and delivery expenses increased slightly from 4.6% in 2002 to 4.7% in
2003. The Company has continued to reduce its fleet size from the previous year
as well as gaining operating efficiencies by consolidating shipments and
attempting to ship more full truckloads. These efforts have been offset by
increased gasoline prices and delivery surcharges from the trucking companies.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and
administrative expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 8.2%, from $5.6 million in
the quarter ending March 31, 2002 to $5.2 million for the quarter ending March
31, 2003. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative
expenses increased 0.2%, from 7.5% the first quarter of 2002 to 7.7% in the
first quarter of 2003. The decrease in dollars is attributable to the Company
continuing to make significant strategic cost cutting measures resulting in
reduced fixed expenses. These efforts are ongoing and continue to be a priority
for the Company to keep costs aligned with revenues.

9




Operating Income (Loss). The Company experienced an operating loss of
$1.3 million in the first quarter of 2003 compared to operating income of $0.7
million in the first quarter of 2002. The decrease in operating income is due to
the factors described above.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net of interest income
decreased 16.2%, or $37,000, from $231,000 in the first quarter of 2002 to
$194,000 in the first quarter of 2003. The decrease is attributable to lower
long term debt levels and a corresponding decrease in interest rates on the
variable rate debt from the previous year.

Net Income (Loss). The Company reported a net loss of $0.9 million in
the first quarter of 2003 compared to net income of $0.3 million for the first
quarter of 2002. The decrease in net income is attributable to the factors
described above.


BUSINESS SEGMENTS

As discussed in Notes 6 and 7, the Company changed its segment reporting to
reduce the number of reportable segments from four to three and to eliminate
allocating corporate expenses to the reportable segments. Accordingly, the
Segment Operating Results and the Business Segment Discussions have been
restated to reflect these changes.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2003

Primary Manufactured Products Segment Discussion

Net Sales. Net Sales decreased by $0.5 million, or 1.3% from $37.7
million in the first quarter of 2003 to $37.2 million in the first quarter of
2004. The decrease in net sales is attributable to the approximate 5.5% decrease
in shipments in the Manufactured Housing industry. Offsetting this decrease were
increases in shipments to the Recreational Vehicle industry and increased sales
to the industrial and other markets.
Operating Income. Operating income decreased by $0.2 million from $0.9
million in the first quarter of 2003 to $0.7 million in the first quarter of
2004. This decrease is primarily attributable to decreased gross margins as a
result of competitive pricing situations.

Distribution Segment Discussion

Net Sales. Net sales increased by $0.7 million, or 3.8% from $20.4
million in the first quarter of 2003 to $21.1 million in the first quarter of
2004. The increase in sales is attributable to increased sales to the
Manufactured Housing Industry by this segment, which is the primary market that
this segment serves.
Operating Income. Operating income increased by $0.2 million from $0.5
million in the first quarter of 2003 to $0.7 million in the same period in 2004.
The increase in operating income is attributable to the increased sales volume.

Other Manufactured Component Products Segment Discussion

Net sales. Net sales decreased by $1.4 million, or 10.9% from $13.1
million in the first quarter of 2003 to $11.7 million in the first quarter of
2004. The decrease in sales volume is attributable to the Company closing one of
its cabinet door facilities in the third quarter of 2003.
Operating Income. Operating income increased by $0.8 million due
primarily to the closing of one of the Company's cabinet door divisions in the
third quarter of 2003.


Quarter Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2002

Primary Manufactured Products Segment Discussion

Net sales decreased by 3.3%, or $1.3 million, from $39.0 million in
quarter ended March 31, 2002 to $37.7 million in the same period in 2003. This
decrease is attributable to the approximate 26% decrease in units shipped in the
Manufactured Housing Industry coupled with an increase in shipments in the
Recreational Vehicle Industry of approximately 8%. Additionally, increased
penetration into the Industrial and Other markets has helped to offset the
continued declines in the Manufactured Housing Industry.

10




Operating income decreased $1.4 million from income of $2.3 million in
the first quarter of 2002 to $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2003. This
decrease is attributable to significant competitive pricing pressures forcing
certain operations in this segment to reduce selling prices resulting in lower
gross margins.

Distribution Segment Discussion

Net sales decreased $5.4 million, or 21.2%, from $25.8 million in the
first quarter of 2002 to $20.4 million in the first quarter of 2003. This
decrease is attributable to an approximate 26% decrease in shipments in the
Manufactured Housing Industry, which is the primary market this segment serves.
Operating income decreased $0.2 million, from income of $0.7 million in
the first quarter of 2002 to income of $0.5 million in the first quarter of
2003. The decrease in operating income is due to reduced sales volume.

Other Manufactured Component Products Segment Discussion

Net sales decreased $1.8 million, or 11.9%, from $14.9 million in the
first quarter of 2002 to $13.1 million in the first quarter of 2003. This
decrease is attributable to the closing of one of the business units in this
segment in 2002.
Operating income in this segment decreased from $0.2 million in the
first quarter of 2002 to an operating loss of $0.6 million in the first quarter
of 2003. Production inefficiencies and labor problems continue to plague one of
the operating units in this segment, which was profitable in the first quarter
of 2002, as a result of a change in raw material required by one of its major
customers which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2002. Losses are expected to
continue through at least the second quarter while the Company strategically
moves away from the use of this product at the expense of reduced sales volume.
Additionally, another operating unit in this segment continues to post losses as
a result of not having enough sales volume to cover the overhead expenses
associated with its operating facility.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary capital requirements are to meet working
capital needs, support its capital expenditure plans, and meet debt service
requirements.
The Company, in September, 1995, issued to an insurance company in a
private placement $18,000,000 of senior unsecured notes. The ten year notes bear
interest at 6.82%, with semi-annual interest payments that began in 1996 and
seven annual principal repayments of $2,571,429 that began in September, 1999.
These funds were used to reduce existing bank debt and for working capital
needs.
The Company has a secured bank revolving credit agreement that
provides loan availability of $15,000,000 with maturity in the year 2006.
Pursuant to the private placement and the Credit Agreement, the
Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios, all of which are
currently complied with.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations and
borrowings under its credit agreements will be sufficient to fund its working
capital requirements, planned capital expenditures, and common stock repurchase
program as currently contemplated. The changes in inventory and accounts
receivable balances, which affect the Company's cash flows, are part of normal
business cycles that cause them to change periodically.

A summary of our contractual cash obligations remaining at March 31,
2004 and for the twelve month periods ending 2005 through 2008 is as follows:

**Interest payments have been calculated using the fixed rate of 6.82% for the
Senior notes and the average 2003 annual interest rate of 1.75% for the
Industrial Revenue Bonds.



We also have a commercial commitment as described below:

We believe that our cash balance, availability under our line of
credit, if needed, and anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate
to fund our cash requirements for fiscal 2004.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in the footnotes to
our financial statements. Some of the most critical policies are also discussed
below.
Our major operating assets are accounts receivable, inventory, and
property and equipment. Exclusive of the write-off of certain assets related to
the Oakwood Homes Corporation bankruptcy filing in November, 2002, we have not
experienced significant bad debts losses and our reserve for doubtful accounts
of $250,000 should be adequate for any exposure to loss in our March 31, 2004
accounts receivable. We have also established reserves for slow moving and
obsolete inventories and believe them to be adequate. We depreciate our property
and equipment over their estimated useful lives and we have not identified any
items that are impaired for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The Company ships
product based on specific orders from customers and revenue is recognized upon
delivery.


SEASONALITY

Manufacturing operations in the Manufactured Housing and Recreational
Vehicle Industries historically have been seasonal and are generally at the
highest levels when the climate is moderate. Accordingly, the Company's sales
and profits are generally highest in the second and third quarters.


INFLATION

The Company does not believe that inflation had a material effect on
results of operations for the periods presented.


SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

Statements that do not address historical performance are
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation reform Act of 1995 and are based on a number of assumptions,
including but not limited to; (1) continued domestic economic growth and demand
for the Company's products; and (2) the Company's belief with respect to its
capital expenditures, seasonality and inflation. Any developments significantly
deviating from these assumptions could cause actual results to differ materially
from that forecast or implied in the aforementioned forward-looking statements.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risk related to interest rate changes
on portions of its debt. Long term debt includes $5,142,859 of indebtedness
bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.82%. The related maturities and interest
are reported in the contractual obligations table in the Liquidity and Capital
Resources section of this report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this
report, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
all material respects in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in
the report that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. There have been no
significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in
other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the
date of the previously mentioned evaluation.
