==============================================================================
PART I
Item 1. Business.
Wolohan Lumber Co. (the "registrant") is engaged in the retail sale
of a full-line of lumber and building materials and related items,
through a chain of 62 building supply stores located in Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin.
The registrant sells to contractor builders and remodelers and to the
"do-it-yourself" market consisting principally of homeowners. Each
segment accounted for approximately 50% of the registrant's sales for
1995.
The registrant sells more than 43,000 different products which are
purchased from approximately 1,185 suppliers. No supplier accounts
for more than 6% of total purchases. The registrant purchases lumber
products primarily from lumber and plywood mills and more than half
of all other merchandise from original producers or manufacturers.
The business of the registrant is not dependent upon a single
customer or a few customers for any significant portion of sales.
The registrant believes that backlogs are not significant to its
business.
The registrant is engaged in only one line of business - retail sales
of lumber and building materials and related items. The classes of
products include dimension lumber; sheathing plywood; building
materials; building hardware; lawn and garden; millwork; plumbing,
heating and electrical; kitchen cabinets and vanities; home
decorations; trusses and components, including storage barns; and
other forest products, such as fencing and treated lumber.
The business of the registrant is highly competitive, and it
encounters competition from both nationwide and regional chains and
from local independent merchants, as well as integrated department
stores such as K mart, WAL-MART and Sears. Because of the variety of
competition faced by the registrant and the wide range of products it
sells, it is virtually impossible to determine the registrant's
competitive position in the markets it serves.
The registrant holds no material patents, trademarks, licenses,
franchises or concessions.
The registrant's business generally is subject to seasonal
influences. The second and third quarters are generally the periods
of highest sales volumes while the first quarter is usually the
period of lowest sales volume.
The registrant had approximately 1,600 full-time employees at
December 31, 1995.
-2-
To the best of the registrant's knowledge, it is complying with all
federal, state and local environmental protection provisions.
Item 2. Properties.
The administrative offices of the registrant are located in a
28,000-square-foot, two-story brick face building situated on three
acres of land owned by the registrant in Saginaw, Michigan.
The registrant operates 62 building supply stores in the states of
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin.
The showroom selling space in the stores averages 27,000 square feet.
In addition, total warehouse and storage space (under roof) ranges in
size from 10,000 square feet to 63,000 square feet (average of 25,000
square feet).
All of the building supply stores are owned in fee by the registrant
with the exception of six leased stores (including a leased facility
opened in March, 1996) and one store which is occupied under an
agreement with a local municipality. This agreement provides for
payments in amounts sufficient to retire the industrial revenue bonds
issued to finance the acquisition and construction of the store and
to pay interest on the bonds. This obligation has been recorded in
the registrant's financial statements.
The registrant believes that all of its building supply stores and
the display, warehouse and storage facilities and equipment located
thereon are well maintained and adequate for the purpose for which
they are used. A fleet of approximately 400 trucks is owned by the
registrant for the delivery of its retail merchandise.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
There are no material legal proceedings pending against the
registrant.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Not applicable.
