TRIANGLE PACIFIC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - 1993 RECAPITALIZATION:

     The Company filed, in August 1993, two registration statements with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission and sold to the public 7,939,750 shares of 
the Company's Common Stock and $160 million aggregate principal amount of 10-
1/2% Senior Notes due 2003 ("the Offerings").  The net proceeds of the 
Offerings together with borrowings under a new $90 million bank credit 
facility (the "New Credit Facility") were used (i) to repay the entire unpaid 
balance under the Company's previously-existing senior debt financing 
agreements, redeem certain previously outstanding debentures and pay related 
accrued interest, for a total of approximately $227 million, and (ii) for 
working capital and general corporate purposes.  As a result of this repayment 
of debt the Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $11.3 million, net of 
tax, which was recorded in the third quarter of 1993, as a result of the 
original issue discount on certain of the repaid notes as well as the premium 
required to redeem the debentures.  

     On June 14, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 
reclassification pursuant to which each share of Series A Common Stock was 
changed and converted into .67 of a share of Common Stock.  The 
reclassification became effective upon completion of the Offerings described 
above and has been reflected retroactively in the accompanying consolidated 
financial statements.  

     Pro-forma figures for the periods on the Consolidated Statements Of 
Operations assume that the Offerings occurred on the first day of fiscal 1993.  

NOTE 2 -INVENTORIES:  

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  The last-in, 
first-out (LIFO) method is used for certain lumber inventories and the first-
in, first-out (FIFO) method is used for all other inventories.  Inventories 
valued by the LIFO method were $20,835,000 at September 30, 1994 and 
$23,965,000 at December 31, 1993.  Had all inventories been valued by the FIFO 
method, which approximates current cost, inventories would have been increased 
by $4,065,000 at September 30, 1994 and $5,138,000 at December 31, 1993.  Raw 
materials inventories include purchased parts and supplies to be used in 
manufactured products.  Work-in-process and finished goods inventories include 
material, labor and overhead costs incurred in the manufacturing process.  The 
major components of inventories are as follows (in thousands):  

                                           September 30,  December 31,

                                                ========    ========

     Letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993 
were $9.8 million under a facility pursuant to which they can be renewed or 
replaced.  

Senior Notes

     The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company with an 
aggregate principal of $160 million.  The Senior Notes mature on August 1, 
2003  and bear  interest at  an  annual rate of 10 1/2%, payable in two equal 
semi-annual installments of $8,400,000 each, with each semi-annual period 
deemed to have 180 days.  The Senior Notes were issued under an Indenture (the 
"Indenture") between the Company and a predecessor to Texas Commerce Bank 
National Association, as Trustee (the "Trustee").  The Senior Notes rank pari 
passu with all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company and 
senior to all present and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company.  
However, because borrowings under the New Credit Facility are secured by 
inventory and accounts receivable of the Company and the proceeds thereof, the 
Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to such borrowings to the extent of 
such security interest.  

     The Senior Notes are not redeemable prior to August 1, 1998.  Thereafter, 
the Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company at redemption 
prices specified in the Indenture.  The Senior Notes are not subject to any 
mandatory sinking fund requirements.  

     Upon a "change of control" (as defined in the Indenture), the Company is 
required to offer to purchase all outstanding Senior Notes at 101% of the 
principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase.  In 
addition, the Company may be required to offer to purchase the Senior Notes at 
100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest with the net cash proceeds 
of certain sales or other dispositions of assets.  

     The Indenture contains covenants which limit, among other things, the 
incurrence of additional indebtedness by the Company and its subsidiaries, the 
payment of dividends on or the purchase of the capital stock of the Company 
("Restricted Payments"), the creation of liens on the assets of the Company 
and its subsidiaries, the creation of certain restrictions on the payment of 
dividends and other distributions by the Company's subsidiaries, the issuance 
of preferred stock by the Company's subsidiaries, and certain mergers, sales 
of assets and transactions with affiliates.  



     Based on the Company's operations through September 30, 1994, the amount 
of Restricted Payments that the Company could make under the Indenture was 
$12,649,000.  

     The Indenture specifies a number of events of default including, among 
others, the failure to make timely principal and interest payments or to 
perform the covenants contained therein.  The Indenture contains a cross-
default to other indebtedness of the Company aggregating more than $5,000,000 
and certain customary bankruptcy and insolvency defaults.  Upon the occurrence 
of an event of default under the Indenture, the Trustee or the holders of not 
less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes may declare 
all amounts thereunder immediately due and payable, except that such amounts 
automatically become immediately due and payable in the event of a bankruptcy 
or insolvency default.  

New Credit Facility

     The Company has entered into the New Credit Facility, which provides for 
up to $90 million of revolving loans for working capital and general corporate 
purposes and for letters of credit.  Availability of borrowings under the New 
Credit Facility is based upon a formula related to inventory and accounts 
receivable.  At September 30, 1994, the Company had no borrowings under the 
New Credit Facility and had $54.5 million of borrowing capacity under this 
facility.  Borrowings under the New Credit Facility bear interest at the 
agent's prime rate plus 1% (8.75% at September 30, 1994) or, at the Company's 
option, at certain alternate floating rates and is secured by a pledge of the 
Company's inventory and accounts receivable.  The New Credit Facility expires 
on August 4, 1996.  

     The New Credit Facility contains covenants which restrict, among other 
things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and rental obligations by 
the Company and its subsidiaries, the payment of dividends and other 
distributions in respect of the capital stock of the Company, the creation of 
liens on the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, the creation of 
certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions by 
the Company's subsidiaries, the making of investments and capital expenditures 
by the Company and its subsidiaries, the creation of new subsidiaries by the 
Company, and certain mergers, sales of assets and transactions with 
affiliates.  The New Credit Facility also contains certain financial covenants 
relating to the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its 
subsidiaries, including covenants relating to their net worth, the ratio of 
their earnings to their fixed charges, the ratio of their earnings to their 
interest expense, the ratio of their current assets to their current 
liabilities, and the ratio of their indebtedness to their total 
capitalization.  At September 30, 1994, the Company was in compliance with all 
financial covenants.  

     The New Credit Facility specifies a number of events of default 
including, among others, the failure to make timely payments of principal, 
fees, and interest, the failure to perform the covenants contained therein, 
the failure of representations and warranties to be true, the occurrence of a 
"change of control" (as defined in the New Credit Facility, to include, among 
other things, the ownership by any person or group of more than 25% or, (in 
the case of The TCW Group, Inc. and its affiliates, 40%) of the total voting 
securities of the Company), and certain impairments of the security for the 
New Credit Facility.  The New Credit Facility also contains a cross-default to 
other indebtedness of the Company aggregating more than $2,000,000 and certain 
customary bankruptcy, insolvency and similar defaults.  Upon the occurrence of 
an event of default under  the New Credit Facility, at least three of the 
lenders holding at least 60% in amount of the principal indebtedness 
outstanding under the New Credit Facility may declare all amounts thereunder 
immediately due and payable, except that such amounts automatically become 
immediately due and payable in the event of certain bankruptcy, insolvency or 
similar defaults.  

     The New Credit Facility generally prohibits the Company from prepaying 
the Senior Notes whether the prepayment would result from the redemption of 
the Senior Notes, an offer by the Company to purchase the Senior Notes 
following a change of control or a sale or other disposition of assets, or the 
acceleration of the due date for payment of the Senior Notes.  

     Mortgages payable represent primarily various Industrial Revenue Bond 
(IRB) notes.  In June 1994, the Company entered into an industrial revenue 
financing agreement in the amount of $7,000,000 with Mississippi Business 
Finance Corp., a public corporation in Mississippi, to finance the expansion 
of the Bruce Hardwood Floors plant in Port Gibson, Mississippi.  The funds 
required were provided by a bank term loan which matures on June 28, 2001.  
Collateral for the loan is the plant and equipment at Port Gibson, 
Mississippi.  The IRB notes vary in interest rate, with several notes 
dependent upon the prime rate.  At September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993 
the interest rates ranged up to 9.0%.  

     These notes are payable through 2001 and are collateralized by the 
related underlying assets.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


NET SALES

     Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 were $301.9 
million compared to $252.2 million for the nine months ended October 1, 1993, 
representing a 19.7% increase.  Net sales for all divisions increased which 
accounted for this growth over the same period last year.  

     Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1994 were $104.2 
million compared to $85.9 million for the three months ended October 1, 1993, 
representing a 21.3% increase.  Increased sales occurred in all divisions of 
the Company.  

GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 amounted to 
$79.7 million, or 26.4% of net sales, compared to $57.1 million, or 22.6% of 
net sales, in the same period in fiscal 1993.  

     Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1994 amounted to 
$28.2 million, or 27.0% of net sales, compared to $18.3 million, or 21.3% of 
net sales, in the same period in fiscal 1993.  

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $42.1 million 
for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 compared to $32.6 million for the 
nine months ended October 1, 1993.  As a percent of net sales, selling, 
general and administrative expenses were 14.0% for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1994 compared to 12.9% for the same period in fiscal 1993.  

     Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $14.4 million 
for the three months ended September 30, 1994 compared to $10.1 million for 
the three months ended October 1, 1993.  As a percent of net sales, selling, 
general and administrative expenses were 13.8% for the three months ended 
September 30, 1994 compared to 11.7% for the same period in fiscal 1993.  

     Increased spending in both the three month and nine month periods in 1994 
compared to the same periods in 1993 are attributable to expanded advertising 
and marketing activities together with incentive compensation and retirement 
plan costs driven by higher sales and profitability.  

OPERATING INCOME 

     Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was $36.4 
million compared to operating income of $23.2 million in the nine months ended 
October 1, 1993.  The increased operating income in the first nine months of 
fiscal 1994 compared to the same period in fiscal 1993 was attributable to 
significantly higher net sales, together with improved operating efficiencies 
which generated increased operating profit margins, offset in part by higher 
selling, general and administrative expenses.  

     Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 1994 was $13.4 
million compared to operating income of $7.8 million in the three months ended 
October 1, 1993.  This increase was also attributable to significantly higher 
net sales together with improved operating efficiencies which generated 
increased operating profit margins, offset in part by higher selling, general 
and administrative expenses.  

INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was $14.2 
million compared to $15.0 million for the nine months ended October 1, 1993.  

     Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1994 was $4.7 
million compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended October 1, 1993.  

NET INCOME

     Net income before extraordinary items for the first nine months of fiscal 
1994 amounted to $13.2 million compared to $5.1 million in the first nine 
months in fiscal 1993.  The first nine months of fiscal 1994 benefited from 
higher net sales and operating income.  

     Net income before extraordinary items for the three months ended 
September 30, 1994, amounted to $5.2 million compared to $1.8 million for the 
three months ended October 1, 1993.  The 1994 period benefited from higher net 
sales and operating income.  

     In the third quarter of 1993, a portion of the proceeds of the company's 
initial public offerings was used to repay $57.4 million of bank debt which 
had been recorded net of its original issue discount of $18.3 million.  The 
retirement of that debt resulted in an extraordinary non-cash charge to 
earnings of $11.3 million.  

PRO-FORMA NET INCOME

     Net income before extraordinary items for the nine months ended September 
30, 1994 was $13.2 million, or $.90 per share, versus pro-forma net income of 
$5.6 million, or $.38 per share for the same period in fiscal 1993.  

     Net income before extraordinary items for the three months ended 
September 30, 1994 was $5.2 million, or $.35 per share, versus pro-forma net 
income of $1.9 million, or $.13 per share for the same period in fiscal 1993.  

     Pro-forma figures for 1993 assume that the Company's third quarter 1993 
public offerings of debt and equity securities occurred on the first day of 
fiscal 1993.  The gross proceeds of the Company's initial public offerings of 
debt and equity were $160 million and $79.4 million, respectively.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In August 1993, the Company completed two public offerings of 7,939,750 
shares of the Company's Common Stock and $160 million aggregate principal 
amount of 10-1/2% Senior Notes due 2003.  The net proceeds of the offerings, 
together with borrowings under a new $90 million bank credit facility were 
used (i) to repay the entire unpaid balance under the Company's previously 
existing senior debt financing agreements, redeem certain previously 
outstanding debentures and pay related accrued interest, for a total of 
approximately $227 million, and (ii) for working capital and general corporate 
purposes.  As a result of this repayment of debt, the Company incurred an 
extraordinary loss of $11.3 million, net of tax, as a result of the original 
issue discount on certain of the repaid notes as well as the premium required 
to redeem the debentures.  The New Credit Facility provides for up to $90 
million of revolving credit loans for working capital and for letters of 
credit.  Availability of borrowings under the New Credit Facility is based 
upon a formula related to inventory and accounts receivable.  

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, cash increased by $10.7 
million.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.6 million and $7.0 
million in cash was received from Industrial Revenue Bond Notes issued to 
finance the expansion of the Bruce Hardwood Floors plant in Port Gibson, 
Mississippi.  Cash of $18.6 million was used primarily for additions to 
property, plant and equipment, the expansion of the Port Gibson plant, 
construction deposits relating to expansion of the Bruce Hardwood Floors plant 
in West Virginia, long-term debt payments and the acquisition of Premier Wood 
Floors on July 1, 1994 for approximately $5.1 million.  

     On September 30, 1994, the Company had working capital of $86.1 million, 
or 24.1% of total assets, and $54.5 million of unused bank borrowing capacity.  

     The Company believes that borrowing availability under the New Credit 
Facility and cash generated from operations will be adequate to fund working 
capital requirements, debt service payments and the planned capital 
expenditures for the foreseeable future.
