(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
except as noted below, and include all recurring adjustments that are
considered necessary by management to fairly state the results of the interim
periods. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses and certain disclosures. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. These consolidated financial statements and related notes have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been omitted. Due to the seasonality of the Company's business, the
accompanying financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of the
results to be obtained for the full year. This report should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The financial results presented herein for the quarter and six month periods
ended June 28, 1998 contain a pre-tax loss of $100 and $230, respectively,
associated with the Company's sawmill, which was sold in the fourth quarter
of 1998.

LINDAL CEDAR HOMES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Lindal Cedar Homes, Inc. (the "Company") is primarily engaged in the manufacture
and distribution of custom cedar homes, windows and sunrooms. The Company also
re-manufactures standard dimensional cedar lumber. Cedar lumber, that meets the
Company's quality standards, is combined with manufactured and/or purchased
windows, sunrooms, and other purchased forest products and building materials
into home packages which can be shipped nationally and internationally to the
home buyer's construction site. Re-manufactured cedar lumber that is not of a
grade suitable for use in homes is sold on the open lumber market.
The Company has four home products: Cedar: Frame, Cedar: Solid, Access and
Select. The Cedar: Frame, Cedar: Solid and Access products predominantly utilize
post and beam design and construction. The Cedar: Frame and Access products
utilize a cavity wall. The Cedar: Solid utilizes, predominantly, a solid cedar
wall. The Access home retains many of the features of the Cedar: Frame home,
including a cavity wall. However, the base price of the Access product is
approximately 25% to 30% less than the traditional Cedar: Frame home due to a
less extensive package of materials and less expensive package components. The
Select product utilizes a combination of post and beam and conventional design
and construction including a cavity wall. The Select product combines the
materials savings of the Access product with the economy of a conventionally
framed home while using quality Lindal building materials.
The Company recognizes revenue from orders when the home package is shipped.
Entering the third quarter of 1999, the total backlog, stated in dollars,
increased $5 million (19%) to approximately $32 million from approximately $27
million in 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to the increased number
of new orders received in the second quarter of 1999 as a result of a sales
contest and an increase in the size and value of the new orders. Because the
Company's business is seasonal, the backlog data does not necessarily reflect
the level of the Company's business on an annual basis. While the Company
expects the majority of the current backlog will ship within the next 12 months,
factors beyond the control of the Company such as weather conditions, customer
financing, building permits or customer requested delays, may affect the actual
delivery date of some portion of backlog orders beyond the twelve month period.
The primary raw material used by the Company in its re-manufacturing is western
red cedar, available in quantity only in British Columbia, Canada, Alaska and
the Pacific Northwest United States. Pressures continue to be placed on the log
market in general by harvesting restrictions in the United States and Canada,
and the Company is aware of the potential for shortages and/or fluctuations in
the price of cedar logs and cedar lumber.
The Company is working to secure its cedar raw material needs on a long-term
basis. As discussed in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the
Company continues to seek approval of its proposed modifications to the terms
and conditions of the 327,000 cubic meter timber sale awarded to the Company in
1996 by the Province of British Columbia. If approval is received, management
believes that this timber sale will allow the Company to secure a supply of
cedar for a minimum of the next five years. If such approval is received,
management expects that timber harvesting will begin in the fourth quarter of
1999. The Company can not guarantee that such approval will be received.
The Company believes that this timber sale agreement will be moderately
profitable, however it is not expected that this contract will be as profitable,
on a relative basis, as the previously awarded timber sale. However, management
believes obtaining this timber sale will greatly facilitate the procurement of
cedar logs and/or cedar lumber.
Beginning July 30th, 1999 the Company's Surrey, British Columbia shipping
facility was closed for 2 working days by a work stoppage that was not
sanctioned by the IWA-Canada. Several employees of the sawmill, which was sold
to an affiliate of Mill & Timber, Ltd. in December 1998, assembled an
informational picket in respect to the fact that the sawmill was not operating.
The affiliate of Mill & Timber, Ltd. will not operate the sawmill until approval
of the modifications to the timber sale license is received from the British
Columbia Minister of Forests.

<PAGE> 12
Although green cedar lumber is the primary raw material used in manufacturing,
the Company purchases substantial quantities of forest products on the commodity
market to ship in its home packages. Presently, the Company does not anticipate
any serious long-term problems in securing the needed forest products in the
foreseeable future. The Company does expect that there may be occasional,
temporary shortages of cedar logs or cedar lumber and that price volatility of
cedar logs, green cedar lumber, other species of lumber and other forest
products may occur for some time. For this reason, the Company hedges a portion
of its non-cedar lumber needs using options and futures contracts. The Company
may also make selected strategic purchases, when relatively favorable prices
exist in the market, of larger quantities than it has historically. These
purchases are not expected to be in excess of anticipated needs.
The Company's business is seasonal in that most deliveries have historically
been made during the period from April to October. To illustrate this, revenue
by quarter is presented below:

</TABLE>
As discussed in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Central Puget
Sound Regional Transit Authority, a governmental agency, has notified the
Company that the site occupied by the Company's head office, display court and
adjacent business park, in Seattle, Washington, has been identified as the
preferred site for the location of a light rail maintenance base. Management
believes that the designation as the "preferred" site will have a negative
impact on the Company's ability to renew business park leases that expire in
1999. The Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority is expected to make its
final site selection some time in 1999. In the event that the Central Puget
Sound Regional Transit Authority chooses the Company's property as its final
site selection for the maintenance base, management believes that the Company
will receive fair market value for the property surrendered. Although the
Company has received no official notification, recent public statements by
officials of the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority indicate that
the Company's site may not be chosen as the final site selection.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and
for hedging activities. The Statement requires that entities recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure
these derivatives at fair value. SFAS No. 133 also specifies a new method of
accounting for hedging transactions, prescribes the type of items and
transactions that may be hedged, and specifies detailed criteria to be met to
qualify for hedge accounting. This Statement is effective for financial
statements for years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not expect
the adoption of this Statement to have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.
YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs and hardware being
developed that utilizes two digits rather than four to define the applicable
year. The consequences of this issue may include failure of information
technology systems and interruption of business processes.
12

The problem exists for many kinds of hardware and software. Any system, used by
the Company, its dealers or vendors, that have time-sensitive software or
hardware may recognize a date using "00" as 1900 rather than the year 2000.
The Year 2000 issue affects the Company's internal systems, including
information technology (IT) and non-IT systems such as its integrated
manufacturing and accounting system, computer operating systems, voice and
electronic communication systems, server and PC software and hardware, drafting
systems, database systems and other software and hardware based systems.
The Company has completed an assessment of the readiness of its core internal
systems for handling the Year 2000. The Company's integrated manufacturing and
accounting system, its core business system, has been upgraded to a Year 2000
certified compliant version. Internal testing of the upgraded software was
completed in the second quarter of 1999 and it was determined that the software
is Year 2000 compliant.
The Company's assessment of other, less vital internal systems has been
completed. Those remaining IT and non-IT systems that were not Year 2000 ready
have either been upgraded to Year 2000 compliant versions of the same software
or hardware, or new Year 2000 compliant software and/or hardware has been
acquired and implemented. Final testing of these less vital internal systems
will be completed in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Management believes all material internal systems will be compliant by the Year
2000 and that the cost to address the issue will not be material. Nevertheless,
the Company will create contingency plans for certain internal systems, as Year
2000 compliance cannot be definitively determined.
All organizations must assess the effect the Year 2000 issue will have on their
third party supply chain. The Company has identified its key vendors and is
surveying key third parties to understand their ability to continue providing
services and products through the change to Year 2000. The Company will create
contingency plans for these key vendors.
The Company is continuing its assessment of other third party vendors and will
develop contingency plans that include the identification of alternate
suppliers. Management currently expects that the assessment of third party
vendors will be completed in the third quarter of 1999 and that its contingency
plans will be completed in the fourth quarter of 1999.
The Company is also working with its dealers to determine their ability to sell
the Company's products through the Year 2000. The Company will partner with them
if necessary, to avoid any business interruptions in 2000.
Any software or hardware costs involved with Year 2000 remediation will either
be charged to expense as incurred or capitalized, depending on the circumstances
of each case. Internal staff costs involved in Year 2000 issues will not be
incremental, but rather represent the re-deployment of existing resources. Such
internal staff costs will be expensed as incurred. Unamortized capital costs of
previously acquired software and hardware will be accelerated over the estimated
period of utility and any remaining unamortized capital costs at the date the
hardware or software is abandoned due to Year 2000 issues will be written off.
Management believes that the costs related to the Year 2000 issue will not be
material.
SECOND QUARTER
NEW ORDERS
The dollar value of new orders taken increased 31% from the second quarter of
1998 compared to the second quarter of 1999. The number of new order units
increased 28% in the same time period. The increase in the number and value of
new orders in the second quarter of 1999 is primarily due to a sales contest,
which ended in early July, providing a free Alaska cruise to those dealers whose
sales during the contest period exceeded a minimum level.

The following table illustrates the percentage change in the number and dollar
value of new orders for the second quarter of the current and each of the
preceding 2 years:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
% CHANGE IN 1999 1998 1997
--------------------- ------------- ---------- ---------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Units 28% -6% -18%
Dollar Value 31% 8% -23%
</TABLE>
The Access product represented 44% of new order units in the second quarter of
1999 compared to 53% of new order units in the second quarter of 1998. The
dollar value of the Access product new orders was 41% of the total dollar value
of new orders in the second quarter of 1999 compared to 48% in the second
quarter of 1998. The new Select product represented 20% of the new order units
and 15% of the total dollar value of new orders in the second quarter of 1999.
The Select product was not available in 1998. Size and value of a home is a
function of customer preference and may change somewhat from period to period.
REVENUE
Revenue decreased $1.34 million (12%) to $10.14 million in the second quarter of
1999 from $11.48 million in the second quarter of 1998, primarily due to the
decrease in home revenue.
Revenue from homes decreased $1.44 million (16%) to $7.68 million in the second
quarter of 1999 from $9.12 million in the second quarter of 1998. The number of
houses shipped decreased 24% to 93 in the second quarter of 1999 from 122 in the
second quarter of 1998. Management believes the decrease in home revenue is
primarily related to the effect of the Company's Winter Works promotion and the
mild winter weather experienced throughout most of the country both of which
accelerated deliveries into the first quarter of 1999. The Winter Works
promotion provided incentives for customers to take delivery of homes in the
first quarter of 1999. In the first quarter of 1999 revenue from homes exceeded
1998 levels by $2.35 million (63%).
The Access product accounted for approximately 48% of home sales revenue and 56%
of home units shipped in the second quarter of 1999 compared to 45% of home
sales revenue and 52% of the house units shipped in the second quarter of 1998.
The Select product accounted for approximately 4% of home sales revenue and 4%
of home units shipped in the second quarter of 1999. The Select product was not
available in 1998.
Revenue from sunrooms decreased $60,000 (12%) to $450,000 in the second quarter
of 1999 from $510,000 in the second quarter of 1998.
Revenue from other sales, primarily material sales, increased $170,000 (9%) to
$2.01 million in second quarter of 1999 from $1.84 million in the second quarter
of 1998.
MATERIAL COSTS
Beginning in late 1996 and continuing through the end of 1997, the Company
experienced escalating costs for lumber and wood products especially for cedar,
the primary material used in the Company's homes, over historic levels. Material
costs reached their peak in the fourth quarter of 1997 when material costs were
61% of revenue. Beginning in the first quarter of 1998 and continuing through
the second quarter of 1999, the Company experienced softening of costs for
lumber and wood products. In general, the Company continues to experience lower
costs for lumber and wood products from the year ago period. The price for cedar
has declined slightly from year ago levels and has become more predictable. As a
result, the Company has not announced a price increase on its homes and related
products in 1999. However, certain framing lumber and panel prices have
increased significantly from their recent lows. Though the costs for framing
lumber are largely protected by futures hedging, management anticipates these
products will continue their upward trend throughout the third and into the
fourth quarters. Management does not expect lumber and wood prices to reach the
historic highs the Company experienced in 1997.
Management continues to evaluate all aspects of the cost of its products,
including materials, design and construction, in order to develop alternatives
or options that would lower the overall price of its products to the end
consumer, without sacrificing the quality of it products.
14
<PAGE> 15
In dollars, material costs decreased $1.2 million (20%) to $4.71 million in the
second quarter of 1999 from $5.91 million in the second quarter of 1998 on 29
(24%) fewer home shipments.
As a percent of revenue, material costs were 46% in the second quarter of 1999
compared to 52% in the second quarter of 1998. The decrease in material costs as
a percentage of revenue is due to lower lumber and wood costs, the effect of the
price increase implemented in 1998, specification changes to product lines, the
improved purchasing practices of the Company, and higher than anticipated duty
refunds. Duty refunds totaled approximately $160,000 in the second quarter of
1999.
OTHER COST OF GOODS SOLD
Non material costs, included in the cost of goods sold, decreased $160,000 (6%)
to $2.58 million in the second quarter of 1999 from $2.74 million in the second
quarter of 1998. This is primarily due to decreases in manufacturing labor and
labor related costs of $70,000 (7%), customer service costs of $30,000 (18%) and
net decreases in other manufacturing costs of $60,000 (3%). The reduction in
manufacturing labor and related expenses is primarily due to increased
productivity in manufacturing and shipping operations and the reduced revenue in
the second quarter of 1999. The remainder of the decrease was primarily due to
aggressive containment of manufacturing costs.
GROSS PROFIT
The cumulative effect of price increases, lower non-material cost of goods sold,
and lower material costs increased gross profit to 28.1% of revenue in the
second quarter of 1999 compared to 24.6% of revenue in the second quarter of
1998.
The mix of home units sold also impacts gross profit. As a percent of total
units sold, home units sold for Cedar Frame, Access, Cedar: Solid and Select for
the second quarter of the current and each of the two preceding years is
presented in the table below.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
HOME PRODUCT 1999 1998 1997

Cedar Frame 31% 43% 41%
Access 56% 51% 43%
Select 4% N/A N/A
Cedar: Solid 9% 6% 16%
</TABLE>
Although the Access and Select homes have lower material costs than the Cedar
Frame home, the gross profit is lower as well.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses, including display court expenses, decreased $290,000
(13%) to $1.96 million in the second quarter of 1999 from $2.25 million in the
second quarter of 1998.
Selling, and general and administrative expenses decreased $300,000 (14%) to
$1.85 million in the second quarter of 1999 from $2.15 million in the second
quarter of 1998. Selling expenses decreased $170,000 (15%) to $940,000 in the
second quarter of 1999 from $1.11 million in the second quarter of 1998. General
and administrative expenses decreased $130,000 (13%) to $910,000 in the second
quarter of 1999 from $1.04 million in the second quarter of 1998. The reductions
in sales, and general and administrative costs are primarily due to general cost
cutting measures implemented by management.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
Other income (expense), net decreased $90,000 (100%) to $0 in the second quarter
of 1999 from $90,000 in the second quarter of 1998. This is primarily due to a
reduced gain from foreign currency transactions, which decreased by $120,000
(162%) from the second quarter of 1998.
15
<PAGE> 16
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The Company recognized an income tax expense of $150,000 (16%) in the second
quarter of 1999 compared to an income tax expense of $120,000 (18%) in the
second quarter of 1998. The overall income tax expense recognized in the second
quarter of 1999 was reduced due to the recognition of the income tax benefit
from Canadian operations not recognized in the first quarter of 1999 and the
recognition of the income tax benefit from the available carryforward of prior
year Canadian operating losses which were not previously recognized. The Company
did not recognize the income tax benefits in 1998 for prior year Canadian
operating losses due to the inability to carryback the Canadian net operating
losses and the uncertainty of utilizing the Canadian net operating losses
against future taxable Canadian income. The income tax expense recognized in the
second quarter of 1998 was reduced due to recognition of the income tax benefit
from Canadian operations not recognized in the first quarter of 1998.
YEAR-TO-DATE
NEW ORDERS
The dollar value of new orders taken increased 11% in the first six months of
1999 compared to the first six months of 1998. The number of new order units
increased 7% in the same time period. The following table illustrates the
percentage change in the number and dollar value of new orders for the first six
months of the current and each of the preceding 2 years:
<TABLE>

--------------------- ------------- ---------- ------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>

</TABLE>
The Access product represented 46% of new order units in the first six months of
1999 compared to 51% of new order units in the first six months of 1998. The
dollar value of the Access product new orders was 42% of the total dollar value
of new orders in the first six months of 1999 compared to 45% in the first six
months of 1998. The new Select product represented 15% of the new order units
and 11% of the total dollar value of new orders in the first six months of 1999.
The Select product was not available in 1998. Size and value of a home is a
function of customer preference and may change somewhat from period to period.
REVENUE
Revenue increased $1.12 million (7%) to $18.24 million in the first six months
of 1999 from $17.12 million in the first six months of 1998, primarily due to
increases in home revenue.
Revenue from homes increased $900,000 (7%) to $13.77 million in the first six
months of 1999 from $12.87 million in the first six months of 1998. The number
of houses shipped increased 1% to 169 in the first six months of 1999 from 168
in the first six months of 1998. The increased home revenue reported in the
first quarter of 1999 was partially offset by the reduction in home revenue that
occurred in the second quarter of 1999. The average revenue per home increased
in the first six months of 1999 compared to the average revenue per home in the
first six months of 1998.
The Access home accounted for approximately 44% of home sales revenue and 53% of
home units shipped in the first six months of 1999 compared to 45% of home sales
revenue and 52% of the home units shipped in the first six months of 1998. The
Select product accounted for approximately 2% of home sales revenue and 2% of
home units shipped in the first six months of 1999. The Select product was not
available in 1998.
Revenue from sunrooms decreased $130,000 (15%) to $720,000 in the first six
months of 1999 from $850,000 in the first six months of 1998.
Revenue from other sales, primarily material sales, increased $350,000 (10%) to
$3.75 million in the first six months of 1999 from $3.4 million in the first six
months of 1998.

<PAGE> 17
MATERIAL COSTS
In dollars, material costs decreased $320,000 (4%) to $8.67 million in the first
six months of 1999 from $8.99 million in the first six months of 1998 on 1 (1%)
additional home shipment.
As a percent of revenue, material costs were 48% in the first six months of 1999
compared to 53% in the first six months of 1998. The decrease in material costs
as a percentage of revenue is due to lower lumber and wood costs, the cumulative
effect of the price increase implemented in 1998, higher than anticipated duty
refunds and the improved purchasing practices of the Company. Duty refunds
totaled approximately $160,000 in the second quarter of 1999.
OTHER COST OF GOODS SOLD
Non material costs, included in the cost of goods sold, decreased $570,000 (10%)
to $5.05 million in the first six months of 1999 from $5.62 million in the first
six months of 1998. This is primarily due to decreases in manufacturing labor
and labor related costs of $330,000 (16%), customer service costs of $130,000
(30%) and net decreases in other manufacturing costs of $110,000 (4%). The
reduction in manufacturing labor and related expenses is primarily due to
increased productivity in manufacturing and shipping operations and the absence
of sawmill labor in the first six months of 1999. The sawmill operated for only
a brief period of time in the first six months of 1998. The remainder of the
decrease was primarily due to aggressive containment of other manufacturing
costs.
GROSS PROFIT
The cumulative effect of price increases, lower non-material costs of goods
sold, and lower material costs increased gross profit to 24.8% of revenue in the
first six months of 1999 compared to 14.6% of revenue in the first six months of
1998.
The mix of home units sold also impacts gross profit. As a percent of total
units sold, home units sold for Cedar Frame, Access, Cedar: Solid and Select for
the first six months of the current and each of the two preceding years is
presented in the table below.
<TABLE>

Select 2% N/A N/A
Cedar: Solid 8% 6% 15%

Although the Access and Select homes have lower material costs than the Cedar
Frame home, the gross profit is lower as well.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses, including display court expenses, decreased $530,000
(12%) to $3.94 million in the first six months of 1999 from $4.47 million in the
first six months of 1998.
Selling, and general and administrative expenses decreased $530,000 (12%) to
$3.71 million in the first six months of 1999 from $4.24 million in the first
six months of 1998. Selling expenses decreased $290,000 (13%) to $1.89 million
in the first six months of 1999 from $2.18 million in the first six months of
1998. General and administrative expenses decreased $230,000 (11%) to $1.82
million in the first six months of 1999 from $2.05 million in the first six
months of 1998. The reductions in selling, and general and administrative costs
are primarily due to general cost cutting measures implemented by management.

<PAGE> 18
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
Other income (expense), net decreased $230,000 (115%) to $(30,000) in the first
six months of 1999 from $200,000 in the first six months of 1998. This is
primarily due to a reduced gain from foreign currency transactions, which
decreased by $250,000 (152%) from the first six months of 1998.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT)
The Company recognized an income tax expense of $80,000 (15%) in the first six
months of 1999 compared to an income tax benefit of $600,000 (34%) in the first
six months of 1998. The overall income tax expense recognized in the first six
months of 1999 was reduced due to the recognition of the income tax benefit from
the available carryforward of prior year Canadian operating losses. The Company
did not recognize the income tax benefits in 1998 for prior year Canadian
operating losses due to the inability to carryback the Canadian net operating
losses and the uncertainty of utilizing the Canadian net operating losses
against future taxable Canadian income.
LIQUIDITY
The Company's policy is that all home and sunroom orders be accompanied by a
cash deposit and that units be paid in full before shipment or be shipped on a
C.O.D. basis. The majority of home and sunroom sales are prepaid. Lumber sales
are made on terms common to the industry.
The Company primarily pays its vendors within stated terms and takes advantage
of discounts for early payments whenever available. Operations and customer
deposits for home and sunroom orders are the Company's primary source of cash.
The Company maintains a $1.5 million operating line of credit with a financial
institution. The line of credit bears interest at the rate of prime plus 1% and
is secured by a pledge of specific assets. The line of credit expires on
December 31, 1999 and the letter of credit expires on November 15, 2002. The
Company does not foresee the need to borrow on its operating line of credit
during 1999.
CASH FLOW
Cash and cash equivalents increased $70,000 (2%) to $3.53 million at July 4,
1999 from $3.46 million at December 31, 1998. This increase is primarily due to
cash provided by operating activities of $3.4 million and the effect of currency
exchange rates of $120,000, which was offset by cash used in investing and
financing activities of $3.16 million and $280,000 respectively.
Cash flow from operating activities in the first six months of 1999 was $3.4
million compared to $670,000 cash used by operations in the first six months of
1998. In 1999, cash was provided by non-cash charges of $620,000, net earnings
of $470,000, decreases in accounts and notes receivable of $450,000, increases
in current liabilities of $1.81 million and net changes in other items of
$50,000. In 1998, cash was provided by a decrease in inventory of $470,000 and
non-cash charges of $680,000 while increases in account and notes receivables of
$270,000, the net loss of $1.16 million, increases in prepaid expenses of
$360,000 and other items of $30,000 used cash.
Investing activities used $3.16 million of cash in the first six months of 1999
compared to using $330,000 of cash in the first six months of 1998. In 1999,
payments received on non-operating notes receivable provided $40,000 of cash
while fixed asset purchases of $250,000 and net purchases of short-term
investments of $2.95 million used cash. In 1998, $100,000 of cash was provided
by the net change in non-operating notes receivables while $420,000 of cash was
used to purchase fixed assets.
Financing activities used $280,000 of cash in the first six months of 1999
compared to using $30,000 of cash in the first six months of 1998. In 1999,
proceeds from long-term debt provided $40,000 of cash while $50,000 of cash was
used to repay long-term debt and $270,000 of cash was used to retire a
short-term mortgage note payable. In 1998, $40,000 of cash was used to repay
long-term debt, while proceeds from long-term debt provided $10,000 of cash.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Net receivables decreased $450,000 (14%) to $2.69 million at July 4, 1999 from
$3.14 million at December 31, 1998. This is primarily due to a decrease in trade
receivables of $730,000 (36%) which decreased to $1.31 million at July 4, 1999
from $2.04 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease in trade receivables was
partially offset by an increase in refundable federal taxes, which increased
$300,000 (21%) to $1.72 million at July 4, 1999 from $1.42 million at December
31, 1998. This increase in refundable federal taxes is largely due to refundable
Canadian goods and services taxes. Net receivables decreased $500,000 (16%) from
June 28, 1998, primarily due to reductions in trade receivables of $330,000
(20%) and refundable federal taxes of $170,000 (9%).
INVENTORY
Production inventories (raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods)
increased $210,000 (3%) to $6.55 million at July 4, 1999 from $6.34 million at
December 31, 1998. This reflects an increase in the value and quantity of
certain lumber and wood products, which was offset by a decrease in the
inventory quantity of cedar. Improved management of the Company's inventory has
decreased the inventory levels necessary to meet the requirements of the usually
busier summer shipping schedules.
Production inventories decreased $2.55 million (28%) to $6.55 million at July 4,
1999 from $9.10 million at June 28, 1998. This is largely due to improved
inventory management, reduced log inventory due to the sale of the sawmill,
reduced inventory of cedar and other lumber and wood products and the softening
of costs in the lumber and forest products markets.
The Company continues to hedge a portion of its expected non-cedar lumber needs
for its home packages using options and futures contracts. The program's
objective is to manage well-defined commodity risks. These derivative financial
instruments are not being used for trading purposes.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Short-term investments increased $2.96 million to $3.03 million at July 4, 1999
from $70,000 at December 31, 1998 largely due to cash generated from operations,
including deposits accompanying the increase in new home orders received in the
second quarter of 1999.
LIABILITIES
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $590,000 (29%) to $2.62 million
at July 4, 1999 from $2.03 million at December 31, 1998. This increase is
primarily due to increased sales volume, the increase in non-cedar inventory
costs, and other seasonal factors. Accounts payable and accrued expenses
decreased $390,000 (13%) to $2.62 million from $3.01 million at June 28, 1998.
This decrease largely reflects the improvement in the overall cash position of
the Company, and the decrease in inventory levels.
Notes payable decreased $270,000 (100%) to $0 at July 4, 1999 from $270,000 at
December 31, 1998. In March 1999, the Company paid off the mortgage note on a
Company owned display court.
Customer deposits increased $1.24 million (31%) to $5.18 million at July 4, 1999
from $3.94 million at December 31, 1998 and increased $1.57 (43%) million from
the June 28, 1998 levels. These increases are largely due to the increased new
orders received in the second quarter of 1999 and the increase in the average
value of new orders.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE FINANCING
As discussed earlier, the Company continues to seek approval of its proposed
modification to the terms and conditions of the 327,000 cubic meter timber sale
awarded to the Company in 1996 by the Province of British Columbia. Should the
Company not receive approval of its proposed modification to the terms of its
second timber sale from Canadian regulatory authorities, the Company, in order
to preserve the timber sale, would consider alternative financing methods for
the expansion of its operations in British
19
<PAGE> 20
Columbia. Such alternatives would include, but not be limited to, debt
financing, lease financing, other joint venture agreements or combinations of
the aforementioned. The Company is also considering other available operational
options, including further consolidation of its operations, in the event that
approval of the modifications to the timber sale is not received.
Other capital expenditures in 1999 will be financed from cash flow generated
from operations, leasing or debt.
ITEM 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The primary
market risks to which the Company is exposed are commodity lumber prices and
foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company, from time to time, enters into futures contracts to hedge future
purchases of specific types and grades of non-cedar lumber with the objective of
reducing risk due to market fluctuations. The aggregate commitment underlying
the Company's futures contracts and deferred losses from hedged lumber were not
material at July 4, 1999. Such losses in fair value, if realized, would be
reduced by lower costs of the lumber purchased at market value.
The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange rate exposure, primarily
related to Canadian operations and the sale of homes to Canadian customers. Home
sales into countries other than Canada are made in U.S. dollars. At the present
time, the Company does not hedge foreign currency risk, but may hedge known
transaction exposure in the future.
The Company's exposure to changes in interest rates is minimal. Interest on
short-term investments of less than 90 days is primarily based on market
interest rates. At July 4, 1999, the Company's investment in fixed rate
instruments was approximately $3.03 million. All of the Company's long-term debt
is fixed rate. The Company's line of credit is based on the prime rate. At July
