NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 -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 $22,137,000 at March 29, 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 
$2,107,000 at March 29, 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:  

                                              March 29,   December 29,

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

     Letters of credit outstanding were $10.0 million at March 29, 1996 and 
$9.7 million at December 29, 1995, 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 amount 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 March 29, 1996, the amount of 
Restricted Payments that the Company could make under the Indenture was 
$28,395,000.

     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:

     In December 1995, the Company entered into a 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 March 29, 1996, the Company had no 
borrowings under the New Credit Facility and had $77.6 million of borrowing 
capacity under this facility.  Borrowings under the New Credit Facility bear 
interest at the agent's prime rate plus 0.375% (8.625% at March 29, 1996) or, 
at the Company's option, at certain alternate floating rates and are secured 
by a pledge of the Company's inventory and accounts receivable.  The New 
Credit Facility expires on December 21, 2000.  

     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 with respect to 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 March 29, 1996, 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 
case of The TCW Group, Inc. and its affiliates, 50%) 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 in 
excess of $50.0 million of 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.  

Capitalized Lease Obligations:  

     During the fourth quarter of 1995, the operating lease agreement relating 
to the Company's Beverly, West Virginia, plant and related equipment was 
amended to allow for a purchase option of $1 until 2018.  As a result, the 
Company recorded the present value of the remaining future minimum lease 
payments of $19.5 million as a capitalized lease asset and related capitalized 
lease obligation.  

Mortgages Payable:  

     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.  At March 29, 1996 the interest rates ranged up to 7.72% and at 
December 29, 1995, the interest rates ranged up to 7.88%.  

     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 three months ended March 29, 1996 were $110.5 million 
compared to $107.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995, 
representing a 3.1% increase.  This year's first quarter, historically the 
weakest quarter of our fiscal year, was adversely impacted by unusually poor 
weather conditions.  

     Cabinet Division sales were up 12.3% over those of the same period in 
1995.  The Cabinet Division's operations, starting in 1996, include the impact 
of the building products operations.  As reported in our 1995 annual report, 
we have elected to discontinue the sale of lumber and related building 
materials at our Beltsville, Maryland location and to concentrate on sales of 
cabinets, counter tops and cabinet installation.  

     Hardwood Floors Division sales increased 1.9% over the first quarter of 
1995.  

GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit for the three months ended March 29, 1996 amounted to $25.9 
million, or 23.5% of net sales, compared to $27.9 million, or 26.1% of net 
sales in the same period in fiscal 1995.  

     This decrease in gross profit resulted primarily from competitive market 
conditions in the flooring business and, to a lesser extent, to the mix of 
business in the Cabinet Division.  

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $14.6 million 
for the three months ended March 29, 1996 compared to $15.4 million for the 
three months ended March 31, 1995.  As a percent of net sales, selling, 
general and administrative expenses were 13.2% for the three months ended 
March 29, 1996 compared to 14.4% for the same period in fiscal 1995.  Certain 
marketing costs, professional fees and incentive compensation expenses were 
lower in the first quarter of 1996 vs. the first quarter of 1995.  

OPERATING INCOME 

     Operating income for the three months ended March 29, 1996 was $11.0 
million compared to $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  
The decrease in operating income in the first quarter of 1996 compared to the 
same period in 1995 was attributable primarily to lower average selling prices 
in the Hardwood Floors Division, offset by lower selling, general and 
administrative expenses.  

INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest expense for the three months ended March 29, 1996 was $4.7 
million compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 29, 1995.  

NET INCOME

     Net income for the three months ended March 29, 1996 amounted to $3.9 
million, or $0.26 per share, compared to $4.5 million, or $0.31 per share, for 
the three months ended March 29, 1995.  



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     For the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 1996, cash decreased by $5.2 
million.  Cash used in operating activities was $1.8 million.  Cash of $2.5 
million was used for additions to property, plant and equipment and $.9 
million for long-term debt payments.  

     At March 29, 1996, the Company had working capital of $117.3 million, or 
29.4% of total assets, and $77.6 million of unused bank borrowing capacity.  

     The Company believes that borrowing availability under the 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.
