NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JUNE 28, 1997
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The Company's business is seasonal in nature and subject to
general economic conditions and outside factors and, accordingly,
its operating results for the three months and six months ended
June 28, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the entire year ending Dec. 27, 1997.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended Dec. 28, 1996.
NOTE B - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company calculates earnings per share based on the average
number of shares outstanding for the period. Common stock
equivalents had no material dilutive effect for the periods
presented.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128,
Earnings Per Share. SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for
computing earnings per share and makes them comparable to
international EPS standards. It also replaces the presentation of
primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. Implementation of SFAS
128 is not expected to have an impact on the Company's reporting of
EPS. SFAS 128 is required to be implemented for periods ending after
Dec. 15, 1997.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Results Of Operations
Net income for the second quarter of 1997 was $3 million (43 cents
per share), versus $3.1 million (44 cents per share) for the same
period of 1996. The slight decline in second-quarter earnings was
due to a decline in the gross margin percentage. Net income for
the first six months of 1997 increased 35 percent to $2.1 million
(30 cents per share) compared with $1.5 million (22 cents per
share) for the same period of 1996.
Sales totaled $126.8 million in the second quarter of 1997, a 6-
percent increase from second-quarter 1996. The sales increase in
the 1997 second quarter resulted from an 18-percent increase in
contractor (builder and remodeler) sales which more than offset a
7-percent decline in consumer (DIY) sales. Comparable-store sales
in second quarter 1997 increased 7 percent from the same period of
1996. Approximately 30 percent of the overall sales increase in
1997's second quarter was a result of higher average selling
prices of lumber compared with the same period of 1996. For the
first six months of 1997, sales increased 6 percent to $204.2
million from the same period of 1996. Contractor sales increased
15 percent and consumer sales decreased 6 percent for the six-
month period. Comparable store sales for the 1997 six-month
period were up 6 percent from 1996.
The sales mix for the second quarter of 1997 was 41-percent
consumer sales and 59-percent contractor sales compared with a
46/54 mix for the second quarter of 1996. For the six-month
period, contractor sales accounted for 62 percent of total sales
in 1997 versus 57 percent for 1996.
Gross margins declined 130 basis points to 23.7 percent in the
second quarter of 1997, compared with the second quarter of 1996
and were off 80 basis points for the six-month period compared
with 1996. The decline in gross margins can be attributed to the
Company's aggressive positioning in the marketplace, relative
competitive pressures and to a shift in sales mix favoring
contractor sales. Gross margin dollars increased $.2 million and
$1.2 million for the second quarter and six months, respectively,
compared with the corresponding periods of 1996.
The operating expense ratio for the 1997 second quarter was 19.9
percent, 80 basis points lower than second quarter 1996. For the
1997 six-month period, the operating expense ratio was 22.4
percent, 120 basis points lower compared with the same period of
1996.
The effective tax rate (federal and state) for second quarter 1997
was 40.4 percent, versus 40 percent for second quarter 1996. For
the six-month period, the effective tax rate was 40.1 percent for
both years.
Financial Condition
At June 28, 1997, the Company's balance sheet remains strong. Net
working capital at June 28, 1997, totaled $62.5 million, compared
with $59.2 million at June 30, 1996, and $61.7 million at Dec. 28,
1996. The current ratio at June 28, 1997, was 2.6 to 1, compared
with 2.4 to 1 at June 30, 1996, and 2.8 to 1 at Dec. 28, 1996.
Cash and cash equivalents were $6.9 million at June 28, 1997,
compared to $11.4 million at June 30, 1996, and $15.5 million at
Dec. 28, 1996. The liquidity ratio at June 28, 1997, was .17 to
1, compared to .27 to 1 at June 30, 1996, and .44 to 1 at Dec. 28,
1996. Cash and cash equivalents increased $.7 million during the
1997 second quarter with operating activities producing $4.1
million of cash. The major uses of cash in the 1997 second quarter
were for net property additions, $1.5 million, and reduction of
long-term debt of $1.4 million. The Company had no short-term
borrowings at June 28, 1997, compared with $8 million outstanding
at June 30, 1996.
The Company expects that net cash from operating activities and
available lines of credit should be adequate to meet future
working capital needs and capital expenditures for 1997. The
Company continues to seek opportunities for growth through
acquisitions of additional stores.
Invested capital (long-term debt and shareowners' equity) was
equal to 76% of total assets at June 28, 1997, compared to 75% at
June 30, 1996, and 78% at year-end 1996. The total debt-to-asset
ratio was lowered to .11:1 at June 28, 1997, from .12:1 at year-
end 1996. The ratio of equity to total assets was .65 to 1 at
June 28, 1997, compared to .66 to 1 at year-end 1996.
Outlook
The Company expects continued pressure on sales and gross margins
in the second half of 1997. In the Midwest, "big box" retailers will
continue to take market share of consumer sales and a modest
slowdown in new-home construction could negatively impact
contractor sales. July 1997 sales were 5-percent below last year
on a comparable-store basis.
The Company is committed to improving consumer sales with
strategies to increase sales of kitchens and baths, decks, sheds,
garages, pole barns and major remodeling projects. The Company
continues to provide more value-added services to improve market-
share of contractor business. A wall-panel line will be added to one
location and a truss-manufacturing plant will be added to another
facility in the third quarter. The Company added two more "boom"-
type delivery trucks during the second quarter.
