        This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement
on Schedule TO filed December 20, 2000 (the "Schedule TO") relating to the offer
by Lindal Cedar Homes, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, (the "Company"), Robert W.
Lindal, Sir Walter Lindal, Martin J. Lindal and Douglas J. Lindal to purchase
any and all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
"Shares"), of the Company at a purchase price of $4.55 per Share, net to the
seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase dated December 20, 2000 (the "Offer to Purchase") and in the
related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits
(a)(1) and (a)(2) (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto,
collectively constitute the "Offer"). The information set forth in the Offer to
Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal is incorporated herein by
reference with respect to Items 1-9 and 13 of this Schedule TO, except as noted
below.

ITEMS 1-9 AND 13

        Items 1 through 9 and 13 of the Schedule TO, which incorporate by
reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hearby amended
as follows:

        (1) The answer to the third Q&A on page 1 of the Summary Term Sheet has
been revised so that the following sentence is inserted immediately after the
last sentence in that answer:

        "Although Lindal Cedar Homes, Inc. and the members of the Lindal family
intend to effect a second-step transaction following the completion of the offer
in which the shareholders who do not tender in the offer receive the same price
as contemplated in the offer, no merger agreement between the members of the
Lindal family and Lindal Cedar Homes exists and the members of the Lindal family
are not obligated to effect the second-step transaction and are not obligated to
offer the same price as is contemplated in the offer."

        (2) The first sentence of the second paragraph of the first Q&A on page
3 of the Summary Term Sheet has been revised to read as follows:

        "The members of the Special Committee unanimously concluded that the
offer is advisable and that the terms of the offer are fair to, and in the best
interest of, our company and its shareholders that are unaffiliated with the
members of the Lindal family."

        (3) The answer to the second Q&A on page 3 of the Summary Term Sheet has
been revised to read as follows:

        "A: Yes. The Special Committee received a written opinion, dated
December 13, 2000, from First Security Van Kasper, Inc. to the effect that, as
of that date and based on and subject to the assumptions and limitations
contained in the opinion, the price per share of $4.55 to be received in the
offer was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of shares of our
company's common stock that are unaffiliated with the members of the Lindal
family."

        (4) The last sentence of the first paragraph on page 6 of the Offer to
Purchase has been revised to read as follows:

        "Bonnie G. McLennaghan, the daughter of Sir Walter Lindal and the sister
of the other Lindal Family Members, has advised the Company that she intends to
tender the 395,668 fully diluted Shares



                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

that she beneficially owns (approximately 8.6% of the fully diluted Shares),
other than Shares subject to options having exercise prices higher than the
Purchase Price."

        (5) The fourth sentence of the fourth paragraph on page 6 of the Offer
to Purchase has been revised to read as follows:

        "The Lindal Family Members, who beneficially own in the aggregate 1,994,
591 Shares (excluding options), or 2,134,992 shares (fully diluted), which is
approximately 48.2% of the issued and outstanding shares, or 46.3% of the fully
diluted shares, have advised the Company that they do not intend to tender any
Shares owned by them pursuant to the Offer."

        (6) The following sentences have been added before the final sentence in
sixth paragraph of page 9:

        "FSVK first contacted each potential buyer by telephone to discuss the
acquisition opportunity and offer to furnish additional written and financial
information. Of the initial group contacted, 17 parties requested the additional
information and executed a confidentiality agreement. Except for discussions
with the two prospective buyers described below, all parties contacted declined
to go further in the process."

        (7) The following paragraph has been added following the first paragraph
on page 11:

        "In deciding to proceed with the proposal of the Lindal Family Members
on this basis, the Special Committee considered a number of factors. While the
two indications of interest that the Special Committee reviewed contained price
ranges at or slightly higher that the price proposed by the Lindal Family
Members, they were early stage proposals, with significant due diligence
requirements remaining. Neither party had yet conducted or asked to conduct
additional due diligence during the period following their initial contacts in
August and September. Both parties required control of the Company, which would
involve sale of significant ownership interests by the Lindal Family Members at
prices that they were unwilling to accept. One indication of interest was
subject to bank financing. The Special Committee noted the willingness of the
Lindal Family Members to raise the offering price of their proposal, to remove a
financing condition, to proceed promptly with the offer and further noted their
continuing reluctance to sell, as a group, at prices proposed in the indications
of interest. In view of the additional time requirements and uncertainties
relating to the indications of interest and the prospect of the Lindal Family
Member offer could be available to the shareholders promptly, the Special
Committee did not believe that pursuing the other proposals was likely to result
in a substantially higher price or other material benefits to the shareholders.
It was also concerned that the already extended process would be vulnerable to
leaks and premature disclosure."

        (8) The sixth full paragraph on page 12 of the Offer to Purchase has
been revised so that the following sentences are inserted at the end of that
paragraph:

        "Although Lindal Cedar Homes, Inc. and the Lindal Family Members intend
to effect a Second-Step Transaction following the completion of the Offer in
which the shareholders who do not tender in the offer receive the same Purchase
Price as contemplated in the Offer, no merger agreement between the Lindal
Family Members and Lindal Cedar Homes, Inc. exists and the Lindal Family Members
are not obligated to effect the Second-Step Transaction and are not obligated to
offer a price that is the same as Purchase Price. The price offered in the
Second-Step Transaction may be greater or lesser than the Purchase Price."



                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

        (9) The second sentence of the last paragraph on page 14 has been
amended to read as follows:

        "The Special Committee determined that the Offer is fair to, and in the
best interests of, the Company's unaffiliated stockholders (those stockholders
other than the Lindal Family Members and Bonnie G. McLennaghan, who is a member
of the Lindal family but has advised the Company that she will tender all of her
shares in the Offer)."

        (10) The second full paragraph on page 15 has been amended to read as
follows:

        "In addition to the factors listed above, the Special Committee
considered the fact that consummation of the Offer would eliminate the
opportunity of the unaffiliated stockholders (as well as Bonnie G. McLennaghan,
a member of the Lindal family who has advised the Company that she intends to
tender all of her shares in the Offer) to participate in any potential future
growth in the value of the Company, but determined that this loss of opportunity
was ameliorated in part by the Purchase Price of $4.55 net per Share to be paid
in the Offer. See "Special Factors -- Background and Purpose of the Offer;
Certain Effects of the Offer; Plans of the Company after the Offer."

         (11) Subparagraphs (a), (c), (d), (e), (f), (h) and (k) on page 15 have
been revised.

        Subparagraph (a) on page 15 has been amended to read as follows:

        "the historical market prices and trading activity of the Shares from
1998 through early December 2000, which reflected a low of $1.00 per share, a
high of $3.875 per share and average quarterly prices that ranged from
approximately $2.00 per share to $3.50 per share, although after June 1998 the
average price has not exceeded $2.60 per share. During these periods average
daily volumes ranged from approximately 1,600 shares to approximately 6,500
shares, although the fourth quarter of 1999 averaged approximately 10,000
shares. The Special Committee viewed these periods as relevant because they
included the Company's recovery after substantial losses in 1997 and reflected
the absence of any analyst reporting, which also ceased in 1997 and has not
resumed. In all cases, the historical and current market prices were materially
below the Purchase Price;"

        Subparagraph (c) on page 15 has been amended to read as follows:

        "the market price for the Shares a compared to the performance of the
Company, which has not materially risen in the last two years although the
Company has recovered from operating losses in 1997 and 1998;"

        Subparagraph (d) on page 15 has been amended to read as follows:

        "the small stockholder base of the Company, as indicated by its
approximately 335 stockholders of record, which the Special Committee believes
reflects a continuing lack of interest in the Company's stock;"

        Subparagraph (e) on page 15 has been amended to read as follows:

        "the fact that the Company could, with a small repurchase program,
terminate the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act without
initiating the Offer, because of the number of current



                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6

record holders of the Shares. The Special Committee believed that the Offer,
including any and all shares, was a preferred alternative to a possible partial
repurchase program that could be considered in the future and could adversely
affect the information available to stockholders at that time;"

        Subparagraph (f) on page 15 has been amended to read as follows:

        "the nature of the Company's business and the industry in which the
Company operates, including various uncertainties associated with current and
potential future industry and market conditions, which the Special Committee
believed would continue to have an adverse effect on the market price of the
Shares;"

        Subparagraph (h) on page 15 has been amended to read as follows:

        "the fact that the Company has not paid a cash dividend in over 20 years
to its stockholders, and the expectation that no such cash dividends are
expected to be paid in the foreseeable future. Stockholders would therefore have
to look entirely to the market price of the Shares for their investment return."

        Subparagraph (k) on page 15 of the Offer to Purchase has been revised so
that the following sentence is inserted to the end of that factor:

        "In light of this stated intent, the Special Committee did not feel
the need to require the Lindal Family Members to enter into a merger agreement
with the Company. The Special Committee also noted that completion of an
executed merger agreement could delay the time at which the Offer would be
available to the stockholders."

(12) The following paragraphs have been added before the last full
paragraph on page 15:

        "The Special Committee and the Lindal Family Members believe that the
Purchase Price is fair even though the Lindal Family Members indicated that they
would not sell their shares for a purchase price of less than $5.00 per share.
It is the view of the Lindal Family Members that a purchase price of at least
$5.00 per share would be necessary for the Lindal Family Members to consider
selling their controlling interest in the Company. The Lindal Family Members and
the Special Committee nevertheless felt that the Purchase Price was fair to the
stockholders that are unaffiliated with members of the Lindal family and that
did not have a controlling interest in the Company for the reasons set forth
above and because of the inability of the Company to find a buyer for the
Company which would offer a price of more than $5.00 per share and which would
be capable of closing the acquisition in a reasonably prompt manner.

        The Special Committee considered various factors in determining the
procedural fairness of the Offer. None of the members of the Special Committee
were employees of the Company or had any such employment history. FSVK reported
directly to the Special Committee in its activities soliciting offers to
purchase the Company and in rendering its opinion as to the fairness of the
Offer. FSVK, under the direction of the Special Committee, made an extensive
search for potential buyers of the Company, which provided a market test for
interest in an acquisition of the Company and possible valuations. In addition,
after the initiation of the Offer, the Special Committee could still consider
proposals superior to the Offer. Although the Offer is not being submitted to a
vote of the shareholders and the Special Committee did not retain a specific
representative to act on behalf of the unaffiliated shareholders in negotiations
with the Lindal Family Members, it did not believe that these were



                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

necessary in view of the additional time that would be required, the experience
of the members of the Special Committee and the effectiveness of the other
procedures described above."

        (13)   The last full paragraph on page 15 has been revised as follows:

        "In addition to the factors listed above, the Special Committee
considered the fact that consummation of the Offer would eliminate the
opportunity of the stockholders other than the Lindal Family Members to
participate in any potential future growth in the value of the Company, but
determined that this loss of opportunity was ameliorated in part by the Purchase
Price of $4.55 net per Share to be paid in the Offer and that the Lindal Family
Members would bear the risk of any decrease in the value of the Company. The
Special Committee also considered the fact that the Company had received
indications of interest from third parties which contained price ranges at or
slightly higher than the price proposed by the Lindal Family Members. The
Special Committee decided to reject these proposals in favor of the offer by the
Lindal Family Members for reasons described elsewhere in this Offer to Purchase.
See "Special Factors--Background and Purpose of the Offer; Certain Effects of
the Offer; Plans of the Company after the Offer."

        (14) The last paragraph on page 15 has been revised to read as follows:

        "In connection with its deliberations, the Special Committee noted
that the book value of $4.71 per share on October 1, 2000 exceeded the Purchase
Price of $4.55 per share by $0.16 per share, or approximately 3.5% of the
Purchase Price. $4.71 per share is a book value based upon basic shares
outstanding, i.e., it equals book value as of October 1, 2000 of $19,483,092
divided by 4,136,622 basic shares. The offer to purchase is based upon fully
diluted shares outstanding. Fully diluted shares outstanding are 4,4446,348.
However, in FSVK's fairness opinion, when fully diluted book value was
discussed, "adjusted book value" of $20,441,130 was used, which is equal to the
book value of $19,483,092 + option proceeds of $958,038. Using this adjusted
book value and the fully diluted shares, $4.60 was the fully diluted adjusted
book value in FSVK's opinion. In view of the other factors discussed above and
the opinion of FSVK, the Special Committee did not believe that this variance
was material. In addition the Special Committee considered the Company's
liquidation value. Based on appraisals and other estimates prepared by the
Company, the Special Committee concluded that the liquidation value of the
company would be approximately $3.49 per basic share or $3.46 per fully diluted
share, both of which are less than the Purchase Price. The Special Committee
also considered the Company's going concern value and determined that the
Purchase Price was fair to the stockholders unaffiliated with the Lindal Family
Members based upon the analysis of comparable public companies by FSVK."

        (15) On page 18, the table entitled " Public Comparable Company
Analysis" has been revised as follows:

        (17) The fourth full paragraph on page 19 is revised to insert after the
7th sentence of that paragraph:

        "To determine the discount rate, FSVK first computed the Company's
Weighted Average Cost of Capital ("WACC"). FSVK used a market risk premium of 8%
and a Microcap Premium of 2.6% (Ibbotson's Stocks, Bonds, and Inflation: 1999
Yearbook). To compute Lindal's beta, FSVK used the average beta of the public
comparable companies as computed by Bloomberg of 0.57. We used the 30-
year US Treasury bond rate of 5.7% as the risk-free rate. These factors resulted
in a WACC of 11.95%. The Ibbotson Microcap Premium incorporates the additional
risks of small cap companies with market caps below $252 million. However, an
additional premium was added to reflect the true cost of capital for Lindal, as
its market cap was only $10.3 million. FSVK estimates this company specific
premium to be between 5% and 10%, thereby resulting in a WACC of between 17% and
22%. Financial buyers, however, typically use a 25% to 35% discount rate when
analyzing small non-technology companies."
