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, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending August 31, 2001.  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, 2000.

NOTE B--INCOME TAXES

For the period ended November 30, 1999, the Company recorded a
state and federal tax benefit using an effective rate of
approximately 39%.

For the period ended November 30, 2000 no state and federal
income tax benefit has been recorded as the Company has recorded
a valuation allowance to fully reserve the net operating loss
carryforwards since the realization of these assets is uncertain.

The Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $11,500,000 expiring in the years 2002 through
2015.  In addition, the Company also has a federal net operating
loss carryforward of approximately $3,100,000 which begins to
expire in the year 2021.

NOTE C--INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each
period.  Diluted income (loss) per share is based upon the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents outstanding during each period unless the
effect is antidilutive.  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

In September 2000, the Company entered into a three-year credit
agreement with Frost Capital Group whereby the Company may borrow
a maximum of $4,000,000 under a revolving credit facility.  The
amount available under the facility is subject to limitations
based on specified percentages of the Company's eligible
outstanding receivables and inventory.  The outstanding principal
bears interest at an annual rate of 1.25% above the specified
bank's prime commercial interest rate.  Interest is payable
monthly and is added to the outstanding loan balance.  The credit
agreement does not require the maintenance of any financial
ratios.  At November 30, 2000, there was approximately $490,000
outstanding under the credit facility with approximately
$3,510,000 of unused credit still available.

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-- FOREIGN OPERATIONS

At November 30, 2000, net assets of approximately $1,032,000 were
located at the Company's manufacturing facility in Mexico.

        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.

Net Sales
---------

Net sales of fireplace products decreased approximately 19% or
$1,188,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the
first quarter of fiscal 2000. The decrease in sales resulted from
an overall decrease in the quantity of fireplaces delivered in
the first quarter of 2001 although deliveries of direct-vent gas
fireplaces increased by approximately 98% between the comparative
quarters.  As deliveries of direct-vent fireplaces continue to
grow, the downward trend in sales should be reversed in future
periods.  Competition within the industry continues to suppress
selling prices.

Gross Profit
------------

Gross profit decreased from $976,000 to $571,000 or approximately
41% from the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to the first quarter of
fiscal 2001.  Even though improvements in gross profit
contributions were experienced in the manufacturing facilities,
especially in Mexico, the decrease in gross profit resulted from
the reduced level of sales which did not allow for full recovery
of overhead charges.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
--------------------------------------------

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $347,000
or approximately 19% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared
to the first quarter of fiscal 2000.  The most significant
reductions were in salaries, wages, selling commissions and
related payroll expenses resulting from the plan initiated in
fiscal 2000 to relocate the majority of manufacturing from the
California facility to Tennessee and Mexico and reduce personnel
in California and the corporate office.

Interest Expense
----------------

Net interest expense increased $44,000 between the comparative
first quarters.  The increase in the net expense was caused by a
small increase in the average indebtedness in fiscal 2001
resulting from borrowings under the new line of credit.  In
addition, in the prior year period, the Company had investments
in cash funds which earned interest income that offset a portion
of the prior year expense.

Income Taxes
------------

The Company has not recorded a benefit for income taxes on its
operating loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 due to the
Company recording a valuation allowance to reserve the entire
amount until such time that reassessment indicates that it is
more likely than not that the benefits will be realized.  For
the period ended November 30, 1999, the Company recorded a
state and Federal tax benefit using an effective rate of
approximately 39%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Net cash used by operating activities was $1,258,000 for the
first three months of 2001 compared to net cash used of
$1,109,000 for the first three months of 2000.  The decreased
cash flow from operations in the first three months of fiscal
2001 was primarily due to the loss incurred by operations as well
as changes in working capital, principally a decrease in income
taxes payable and an increase in inventories.

Working capital decreased $722,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
2001 due mainly to the loss from operations.

Capital expenditures and capitalized lease obligations for the
first three months of 2001 were $100,000.  Expenditures include
amounts for tooling, dies, replacement items and major repairs to
manufacturing equipment.

In September 2000, the Company entered into a three-year credit
agreement with Frost Capital Group whereby the Company may borrow
a maximum of $4,000,000 under a revolving credit facility.  The
amount available under the facility is subject to limitations
based on specified percentages of the Company's eligible
outstanding receivables and inventory.  The outstanding principal
bears interest at an annual rate of 1.25% above the specified
bank's prime commercial interest rate and is secured by the
assets of the Company and its subsidiary, Temco Fireplace
Products, Inc.  Interest is payable monthly and is added to the
outstanding loan balance.  The credit agreement does not require
the maintenance of any financial ratios.  At November 30, 2000,
there was approximately $490,000 outstanding under the credit
facility and approximately $3,510,000 remaining available.



                               -9-

<PAGE>


The Company believes that cash flow from operations, together
with funds available from the revolving credit facility, 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.  However, to
the extent the Company continues to experience operating losses
in future periods that cause the Company to require capital in
excess of the borrowing capacity of its existing revolving credit
facility, it may be required to seek additional borrowing
capacity under its existing revolving credit facility or
additional sources of capital.  Sources of additional capital may
include public and private equity and debt financings, 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.
