NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Temtex Industries, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended November 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1999.
NOTE B--INCOME TAXES
Income tax benefit has been provided using the liability method for providing deferred taxes. Loss for the first three months of fiscal 2000 reflects an estimated annualized tax rate of approximately 40.0%.
NOTE C--INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic income per common share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during each period. Common stock equivalents include options granted to key employees and outside directors. The number of common stock equivalents was based on the number of shares issuable on the exercise of options reduced by the number of shares that are assumed to have been purchased at the average price of common stock during each quarter with the proceeds from the exercise of the options.

NOTE E--NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT
A two-year credit agreement entered into by the Company with a bank in May 1996 and amended in April 1998 was repaid in January 1999 with proceeds received from the sale of the Company's face brick manufacturing facility.
In August 1999, the Company and the bank mutually agreed to terminate the agreement prior to its scheduled termination.
NOTE F--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Due to the complexity of the Company's operations, disagreements occasionally occur.
In the opinion of management, the Company's ultimate loss from such disagreements and potential resulting legal action, if any, will not be significant.
NOTE G--CAPITAL STOCK
At November 30, 1999 and August 31, 1999, there were 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $1 authorized. None have been issued.
The Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $1.0 million of the Company's Common Stock after a Special Shareholder's meeting held on January 5, 1999. As of November 30, 1999, 40,000 shares have been purchased on the open market and are included as treasury stock.
At November 30, 1999 and August 31, 1999, there were 10,000,000 shares of par value $.20 common stock authorized of which 5,286,125 shares were issued. Of the shares issued, 3,444,641 were outstanding. The remainder of the issued stock is comprised of 1,841,484 shares of treasury stock.
NOTE H--DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On January 5, 1999, the Company sold its Texas Clay face brick manufacturing division for approximately $12.5 million. The financial statements classify Texas Clay as a discontinued operation and the prior year has been restated to reflect same.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company included elsewhere in this report. This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Among the risks and uncertainties to which the Company is subject are the risks inherent in the cyclical and unpredictable nature of the housing and home products business generally, fluctuations in interest rates, geographic concentration of the Company's primary market, the fact that the Company has experienced fluctuations in revenues and operating results, and the highly competitive nature of the industries in which the Company competes, together with each of those other factors set forth in the Company's filings made with the Securities & Exchange Commission. As a result, the actual results realized by the Company could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements made herein. Words or phrases such as "will," "anticipate," "expect," "believe," "intend," "estimate," "project," "plan" or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company sold its facility that produced face brick products. The results of operations have been classified as discontinued operations. The following discussion focuses on the remaining segment of business, "Fireplace Products".
Net Sales
Net sales of fireplace products decreased approximately 20% or $1,551,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The decrease in sales resulted from decreases in the quantities of both woodburning and gas fireplaces delivered in the first quarter of 2000 in addition to small decreases in the average unit selling prices for those products. Competition within the industry continues to be a dominating force in determining selling prices.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased approximately 39% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Production at less than optimum levels results in under absorption of fixed costs and reduced gross profits.

<PAGE>
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $253,000 or approximately 12% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The most significant expense reductions were in selling commissions, home-center rebates and advertising literature.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense decreased $69,000 or approximately 62% between the comparative first quarters. The decrease in the net expense was caused by the decrease in the average indebtedness in fiscal 2000. In addition, the Company has invested a portion of the proceeds from the sale of its brick manufacturing facility in cash funds and is earning interest on a daily basis.
Income Taxes
Income tax benefit from operations for the first three months of fiscal 2000 is based on an estimated annualized effective tax rate of 40%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used by operating activities was $1,109,000 for the first three months of 2000 compared to net cash used of $421,000 for the first three months of 1999. The decreased cash flow from operations in the first three months of fiscal 2000 was primarily due to the loss incurred by operations as well as changes in working capital, principally a decrease in income taxes payable.
The brick manufacturing division was sold for approximately $12,500,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. The cash proceeds were used to pay down certain indebtedness with the remainder being available to enhance the Company's business operations through strategic acquisitions or other appropriate uses.
Working capital decreased from $12,566,000 at August 31, 1999 to $12,133,000 at November 30, 1999.
Capital expenditures and capitalized lease obligations for the first three months of 2000 were $277,000. Expenditures include amounts for tooling, dies, replacement items and major repairs to manufacturing equipment.
In May 1996, the Company entered into a two-year credit agreement with a bank whereby the Company could borrow a maximum of $4,000,000 under a revolving credit facility. In April 1998, the credit agreement was amended whereby the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility was reduced to $3,000,000 and the expiration date was extended for an additional two-year period. The outstanding balance on the credit facility was repaid by the Company with proceeds from the sale of its brick manufacturing facility in January 1999. In August 1999, the Company and the bank mutually agreed to terminate the credit agreement prior to its scheduled termination.
10
<PAGE>
The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations, together with cash on hand should provide the Company with adequate funds to meet its working capital requirements as well as requirements for capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. The Company is reviewing various options that are available in order to establish a new credit facility should one be required at some time in the future. However, to the extent the Company is unable to obtain a credit facility on suitable terms in the future, or to the extent the Company experiences operating losses in future periods, it may be required to seek additional sources of capital. Sources of additional capital may include public and private equity and debt financing, sales of nonstrategic assets and other financing arrangements. No assurances can be made that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient capital in the future.
Year 2000 Issue
Many existing computer systems and applications and other control devices use only two digits to identify a year in the date field, without considering the impact of the change in the century. As a result, computer systems and applications used by many companies may need to be upgraded to comply with "Year 2000" requirements. The Company relies on its systems in operating and monitoring many significant aspects of its business, including financial systems (such as general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventory and order management), customer services, infrastructure and network and telecommunications equipment. The Company also relies directly and indirectly on the systems of external business enterprises such as customers, suppliers, creditors and financial organizations.
Based on various assessments during the past two years and three months, the Company determined that only minor modifications of its information and production software systems would be necessary in order to properly utilize dates beyond the year 1999. As of the date of this report, all of the identified required changes have been made. Although the Company anticipates that no further changes are necessary, if such modifications not made, management believes the most reasonably likely worst case scenario will not have a material impact on the operations of the Company.
The cost for system modifications relating to the year 2000 issue has been approximately $11,000.
At this date, the Company is not aware of any customer, vendor or supplier (external agents) with a Year 2000 issue that would materially affect the Company's results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. However, the Company has no means of ensuring that external agents will be Year 2000 compliant. The inability of external agents to complete their Year 2000 resolution process in a timely fashion could materially impact the Company. The effect of non-compliance by external agents is not determinable.
Management is of the opinion that all significant Year 2000 issues have been identified and addressed. Accordingly, the Company has no developed Year 2000 contingency plans for operations.
