NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - ACQUISITION OF HARTCO FLOORING COMPANY

     On June 28, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of 
Hartco Flooring Company ("Hartco"), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of 
Premark International, Inc.  The total value of the acquisition was $63 
million, consisting of $36.1 million in cash and the balance representing the 
assumption of liabilities.  

     The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of 
accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the 
assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon the fair values at the 
date of acquisition.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of 
the net assets acquired was $17.5 million and has been recorded as goodwill, 
which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.  The 
accompanying consolidated statements of operations include the operations of 
Hartco, since the acquisition, which occurred on June 28, 1996.  

     The net purchase price was allocated as follows:  
                                              (in thousands)

          Net working capital                   $ 13,589
          Net property, plant and equipment       22,717
          Other assets                               712
          Goodwill                                17,530
          Other non-current liabilities          (18,408)

     The unaudited proforma results below assume the acquisition occurred at 
the beginning of the six-month interim periods ended June 28, 1996 and June 
30, 1995 (in thousands, except per share data):

     The above proforma results include adjustments to give effect to 
amortization of goodwill, interest expense on acquisition debt and certain 
other adjustments, together with related income tax effects.  The proforma 
results above are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that 
would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated as of January 1, 1996 
and 1995, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results.  



NOTE 2 -INVENTORIES:  

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  The last-in, 
first-out (LIFO) method is used for certain inventories and the first-in, 
first-out (FIFO) method is used for all other inventories.  Inventories valued 
by the LIFO method were $37,012,000 at September 27, 1996 and $21,154,000 at 
December 29, 1995.  Had all inventories been valued by the FIFO method, which 
approximates current cost, inventories would have been increased by $2,445,000 
at September 27, 1996 and $2,071,000 at December 29, 1995.  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:  

                                         .   Sept. 27,    Dec. 29,

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


NET SALES

     Net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 1996 were $384.9 
million compared to $339.5 million for the nine months ended September 29, 
1995, representing a 13.4% increase.  The nine months and third quarter ended 
September 27, 1996 includes the results for Hartco Flooring Company, since 
June 28, 1996, the acquisition date.  (See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements)

     Net sales for the three months ended September 27, 1996 were $142.9 
million compared to $115.7 million for the three months ended September 29, 
1995, representing a 23.5% increase.  Flooring Division sales were up 46.4% 
over the comparable period in 1995.  Cabinet Division sales in the third 
quarter of 1996, without the impact of the decline in sales from the 
discontinued Beltsville Building Products unit, were equal to those of the 
same period in 1995.  

GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit for the nine months ended September 27, 1996 amounted to 
$95.0 million, or 24.7% of net sales, compared to $86.7 million, or 25.5% of 
net sales, in the same period in 1995.  The lower gross profit in the 1996 
nine month period was caused primarily by three factors: the effects of 
competitive market conditions in the flooring business, primarily in the first 
quarter; the impact during the first half of 1996 related to the closing of 
the Building Materials Division; and the impact on third quarter operations of 
somewhat lower gross margins in the newly-acquired Hartco Flooring unit.  

     Gross profit for the three months ended September 27, 1996 was $34.8 
million, or 24.3% of net sales, compared to $27.9 million, or 24.1% of net 
sales, in the same period in 1995. As discussed, Hartco Flooring gross margins 
for the quarter were slightly lower than in the remaining flooring operations.  
The Flooring Division has had the benefit of stable lumber costs and higher 
unit sales.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $50.0 million, 
or 13.0% of net sales, for the nine months ended September 27, 1996 compared 
to $45.2 million, or 13.3% of net sales, for the nine months ended September 
29, 1995.  The total spending increase of $4.8 million is primarily selling 
expense required to support the higher sales and is also due to the selling 
and administrative expenses for Hartco Flooring in the third quarter of 1996.  
Administrative expenses, including Hartco Flooring, in absolute amounts were 
flat compared to the 1995 nine month period.  

     Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $18.1 million, 
or 12.6% of net sales, for the three months ended September 27, 1996 compared 
to $14.4 million, or 12.4% of net sales, for the three months ended September 
29, 1995.  The higher spending levels were primarily selling expenses such as 
advertising, marketing and field sales expenses.  In the current quarter, the 
administrative expenses, after excluding Hartco Flooring, were flat compared 
to the same quarter in 1995.  

OPERATING INCOME

     Operating income for the nine months ended September 27, 1996 was $43.8 
million compared to $40.3 million for the nine months ended September 29, 
1995.  

     Operating income for the three months ended September 27, 1996 was $16.2 
million compared to $13.2 million in the same period in 1995.  

INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest expense for the nine months ended September 27, 1996 was $14.6 
million compared to $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 29, 
1995.  Interest expense for the three months ended September 27, 1996 was $5.3 
million compared to $4.5 million for the three months period ended September 
29, 1995.  In both the nine month and the three month periods in 1996, the 
higher cost is due to the financing of the acquisition of Hartco Flooring 
Company and the assumption of debt relating to the acquisition of Hartco 
Flooring Company.  

NET INCOME

     Net income for the nine months ended September 27, 1996 was $18.1 million 
or $1.21 per share, compared to $16.4 million, or $1.11 per share, for the 
nine months ended September 29, 1995.  

     Net income for the three months ended September 27, 1996 was $6.8 
million, or $0.45 per share, compared to $5.4 million, or $0.36 per share, for 
the three months ended September 29, 1995.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     For the nine months ended September 27, 1996, cash decreased by $27.6 
million due principally to the cash used to purchase the stock of Hartco 
Flooring Company (See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).  

     At September 27, 1996, the Company had working capital of $113.1 million, 
or 25.1% of total assets, and $66.7 million of unused bank borrowing capacity.  

     The Company believes that borrowing availability under its 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.
