                            PATRICK INDUSTRIES, INC.
                NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
       financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
       recurring accruals and the adjustments for the impairment of certain
       long-lived assets and restructuring charges as discussed in Notes 5 and
       6) necessary to present fairly financial position as of June 30, 2000,
       and December 31, 1999, and the results of operations and cash flows for
       the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

2.     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
       financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
       accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested
       that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
       financial statements and notes thereto included in Registrant's December
       31, 1999 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the
       three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are not
       necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.     The inventories on June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 consist of the
       following classes:

                                                  June 30     December 31
                                                   2000          1999

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

       The inventories are stated at the lower of cost, First-In First-Out
       (FIFO) method, or market.

4.     Stock options outstanding are immaterial and had no effect on earnings
       per share.

       Earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
       have been computed based on the weighted average common shares
       outstanding of 5,307,506 and 5,735,819 respectively.

5.     The Company recognized a non-cash accounting charge in the first quarter
       of 2000 related to an impairment of certain long-lived assets as required
       by SFAS 121. As a result of the implications of the downturn in the
       manufactured housing industry, the competitive pricing adversely
       affecting margins in certain of the Company's operating units, and
       insufficient efficiency gains from operational changes implemented by
       management, updated analyses were prepared to determine if there was
       impairment of any long-lived assets primarily in the Company's Wood and
       Other Segments. The carrying values of these assets were calculated on
       the basis of discounted estimated future cash flow and resulted in a
       charge to operations of $6,937,163 or $.80 per share, net of tax. The
       SFAS 121 charge had no impact on the Company's 2000 cash flow or its
       ability to generate cash flow in the future. As a result of the SFAS 121
       charge, depreciation and amortization expense related to these assets
       will decrease in future periods.

6.     In April, 2000, the Company recorded a restructuring charge based on its
       decision to close one of its cabinet door manufacturing facilities and
       consolidate its operation into other existing facilities and due to the
       relocation of its Fabricated Metals facility. The Company looked at
       future costs in line with future levels of business and determined that
       it was not feasible to keep the cabinet door facility open in this
       particular region. The Company recorded estimated and actual costs
       related to these restructuring activities of $332,342, most of which will
       be realized in the third quarter.

7.     The Company's reportable segments are as follows:

       Laminating - Utilizes various materials including gypsum, particleboard,
       plywood, and fiberboard which are bonded by adhesives or a heating
       process to a number of products including vinyl, paper, foil, and high
       pressure laminate. These laminated products are utilized to produce
       furniture, shelving, wall, counter, and cabinet products with a wide
       variety of finishes and textures.

       Distribution - Distributes primarily pre-finished wall and ceiling
       panels, particleboard, hardboard, and vinyl siding, roofing products,
       passage doors, building hardware, insulation, and other products.

       Wood - Uses raw lumber including solid oak, other hardwood materials, and
       laminated particleboard or plywood to produce cabinet door product lines.

       Other - Includes aluminum extrusion, painting and distribution,
       manufacture of adhesive products, pleated shades, plastic thermoforming,
       and manufacturer of laminating equipment.

       The table below presents unaudited information about the revenue and
       operating income of those segments:

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

GENERAL

       The Company's business has shown significant revenue growth since 1991,
as net sales increased annually from $143 million to over $457 million in eight
years. The sales in 1999 were 0.8% ahead of the 1998 record year. The increase
in sales resulted from the continued strength of both the economy and the
manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries. In the last quarter of
1999 it became apparent that the manufactured housing industry had produced
units in excess of the retail demand resulting in approximately 7.0% decline in
production that year. Retail sales lots were overstocked and unit production was
reduced. Year to date the industry is down nearly 23% in units shipped and
produced due to the limited availability of dealer and retail financing and
excessive retail inventory levels. These conditions may continue through the end
of the year and even into next year. The Company's sales are 55% to manufactured
housing, 26% to recreational vehicle, and 19% to other industries.

       The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales
of certain items in the Company's Statements of Operations:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarter Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 1999

       Net Sales. Net Sales decreased by $22.1 million, or 18.0%, from $123.0
million in the quarter ended June 30, 1999 to $100.9 million in the quarter
ended June 30, 2000. This decrease was a direct result of an estimated 23%
decrease in units shipped and produced in the manufactured housing industry in
the first half of 2000.

       Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased by $3.7 million, or 22.8%, from
$16.3 million in the second quarter 1999 compared to $12.6 million in the same
quarter in 2000. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased 0.8% from
13.2% in the second quarter of 1999 to 12.6% in the second quarter 2000. This
decrease was due to an 18% decrease in consolidated net sales as well as highly
competitive market conditions affecting margins. Several of our operations have
had to reduce margins in order to maintain sales levels which has resulted in
lower gross profits.

       Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses
decreased $0.4 million from $4.4 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $4.0
million in the second quarter 2000. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and
delivery expenses increased from 3.6% in the second quarter of 1999 to 4.0% in
the second quarter 2000. This increase is attributable to lower sales levels and
higher shipping costs specifically related to the increase in gasoline prices in
the first half of 2000.

       Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. To make the year to year
comparison similar, a $0.3 million restructuring charge has been removed from
the selling, general, and administrative expenses discussion for the period
ended June 30, 2000. Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased
10.1%, or, $0.7 million, from $7.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999
compared to $6.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. As a percentage of
net sales, however, June 30, 2000 expenses were 6.4% compared to 5.8% for the
same three-month period ended June 30, 1999.

       Restructuring Charges. As discussed in Note 6 of the financial
statements, the Company recognized a restructuring charge of $332,000 in the
second quarter of 2000.

       Operating Income. Operating income decreased $2.9 million from $4.7
million in the quarter ended June 30, 1999 to $1.8 million in the quarter ended
June 30, 2000. The decrease in operating income in the second quarter of 2000
was due to the factors described above.

       Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net of interest income,
increased 9.6% from $323,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $354,000 in the
same period in 2000. This slight increase is attributable to less being invested
in the second quarter 2000.

       Net Income. Net income decreased $1.8 million, or 67%, for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same quarter in 1999. As a percentage of net
sales, net income decreased 1.3% from 2.2% in the second quarter of 1999 to 0.9%
in the second quarter of 2000. This decrease is due primarily to the factors
described above.

Quarter Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 1998

       Net Sales. Net sales increased by $5.3 million, or 4.5%, from $117.7
million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, to $123.0 million in the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. This sales increase was attributable to increases in the
number of units produced in both the manufactured housing and recreational
vehicle industries. The Company's sales in the quarter were 62% to manufactured
housing, 23% to recreational vehicle, and 15% to other industries.

       Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by approximately $.8 million, or
5.2%, from $15.4 million in the second quarter of 1998, to $16.2 million in the
same 1999 quarter. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased from
13.1% in 1998 to 13.2% in the second quarter of 1999. The increase in gross
profit was due to certain manufacturing operations showing improvement in volume
and efficiencies over the same 1998 period. In certain markets highly
competitive pricing continues to have a negative impact on normal gross profits.

       Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses
increased approximately $.3 million, or 7.7%, from $4.1 million in 1998, to $4.4
million in the second quarter of 1999. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse
and delivery expenses increased from 3.4% in 1998 to 3/6% in the 1999 second
quarter, mainly due to increased sales in the Company's distribution segment.

       Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and
administrative expenses increased by $.2 million, or 3.0%, from $7.0 million in
1998, to $7.2 million in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general,
and administrative expenses decreased from 5.9% in 1998 to 5.8% in the second
quarter of 1999.

       Operating Income. Operating income increased by approximately $290,000
because of the increased sales and the increased gross profits. As a percentage
of sales, operating income remained the same at 3.8% for both second quarters.

       Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, increased by approximately
$58,000 from $265,000 in 1998 to $323,000 in the second quarter of 1999. The
Company's borrowing levels during the 1999 period were higher than those in
1998.


<PAGE>


       Net Income. Net income increased by approximately $162,000 from $2.5
million in 1998 to $2.6 million in 1999 for the second quarter ended June 30.
This increase is attributable to the factors described above. As a percentage of
net sales, net income increased from 2.1% in 1998 to 2.2% in 1999.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

       Net Sales. Net sales decreased $29.7 million, or 12.9%, from $230.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $200.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000. This decrease is attributable to the decline in the
number of units shipped and produced in the manufactured housing industry. The
Company's sales in the first six months of fiscal 2000 are 55% to manufactured
housing, 26% to recreational vehicle, and 19% to other industries.

       Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased 22.9%, or $6.9 million, from $30.3
million in the first six months of 1999 to $23.3 million in the first six months
of 2000. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased 1.5% from 13.1% in
the six months ended June 30, 1999 to 11.6% in the six months ended June 30,
2000. This decrease is attributable to the 12.9% reduction in sales for the six
month period as well as highly competitive pricing pressures forcing the Company
to reduce prices to maintain certain business.

       Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses
decreased 1.7%, or $138,000, from $8.2 million in 1999 to $8.1 million in the
first six months of 2000. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery
expenses increased 0.5% from 3.5% in 1999 to 4.0% in the six months ended June
30, 2000. This increase as a percentage of net sales is due to higher fuel costs
for the first half of fiscal 2000.

       Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, a $6.9 million impairment charge and a $0.3 million restructuring
charge has been included in the selling, general, and administrative expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, a $0.6 million gain on sale of assets
has been included in the selling, general, and administrative expenses.
Exclusive of the impairment charges, restructuring charges, and gain on sale of
assets, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $634,000 from
$13.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $13.3 million in the same
period ending June 30, 2000. As a percentage of net sales, however, June 30,
2000 expenses were 6.6% compared to 6.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
This increase as a percentage of net sales was due primarily to the 13% decrease
in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

       Impairment Charges. As discussed in Note 5 of the financial statement,
the Company recognized an impairment charge of $6.9 million in the first quarter
of 2000.

       Restructuring Charges. As discussed in Note 6 of the financial
statements, the Company recognized restructuring charges of $332,000 in the
second quarter of 2000.

       Operating Income (Loss). The Company experienced an operating loss of
$5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to operating income
of $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The operating loss in
the six months ended June 30, 2000 is due primarily to the factors described
above.

       Interest Expenses, Net. Interest expense, net of interest income remained
fairly constant at $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

       Net Income (Loss). The Company experienced a net loss for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 of $3.7 million compared to net income of $4.9 million in
the same period in 1999. This decrease is due primarily to the factors described
above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

       Net Sales. Net sales increased by $7.7 million, or 3.4%, from $222.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, to $230.4 million in the six
months ended June 30, 1999. This sales increase was attributable to increases in
the number of units produced in both the manufactured housing and recreational
vehicle industries. The Company's sales in the first six months were 61% to
manufactured housing, 22% to recreational vehicle, and 17% to other industries.

       Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $1.5 million, or 5.4%, from $28.7
million in the first six months of 1998, to $30.2 million in the same period in
1999. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased from 12.9% in the
first six months of 1998 to 13.1% in 1999. The increase in gross profit was due
to certain manufacturing operations showing improvement in volume and
efficiencies over the same 1998 period. In certain markets highly competitive
pricing continues to have a negative impact on expected gross profits.

       Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses
increased approximately $429,000, or 5.5%, from $7.8 million in 1998, to $8.2
million in the first six months of 1999. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse
and delivery expenses remained the same.

       Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and
administrative expenses increased by approximately $76,000, or 0.6%, from $13.2
million in 1998, to $13.3 million in 1999. As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased from 5.9% for 1998 to
5.8% in 1999.

       Operating Income. Operating income increased by approximately $1.0
million in the first six months of 1999 as compared to 1998, and as a percentage
of sales increased from 3.5% in 1998 to 3.8% in 1999. This was due to increased
sales and gross profits.

       Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, increased by approximately
$170,000 from $519,000 in 1998, to $689,000 in 1999. This increase was due to
higher borrowings during the first six months of 1999.

       Net Income. Net income increased by approximately $561,000 from $4.3
million in 1998 to $4.8 million in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, net
income increased from 1.9% in 1998 to 2.1% in 1999. This is primarily
attributable to the factors described above.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

Laminating Segment Discussion

       Net sales decreased in the second quarter of 2000 by $6.6 million, or
12.9%, from $51.2 million in the period ended June 30, 1999 to $44.6 million in
the period ended June 30, 2000. This decline in sales volume was due to roughly
23% less shipments nationwide in the manufactured housing industry.
       EBIT declined 26.6% in the laminating segment from $1.8 million in the
period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $1.3 million in the period ended June 30,
2000. As a percentage of net sales, EBIT decreased 0.6% from 3.5% in the second
quarter 1999 to 3.0% in the second quarter 2000. The ability to increase selling
prices in the first half of 1999 became more difficult in the second half of
1999 and the first half of 2000 due to the Company having to make concessions in
pricing to maintain business as a result of the decline in the overall industry.

Distribution Segment Discussion

       Net sales decreased 22.2%, or $11.0 million, from $49.7 million in the
second quarter 1999 to $38.6 million in the second quarter 2000. This decrease
is due to the decline in units shipped in the manufactured housing industry for
which this segment serves.

       EBIT decreased 46.0%, or $620,000, due to the decrease in sales and
competitive pricing situations.

Wood Segment Discussion

       Net sales decreased 18.3%, or $2.2 million, from $11.9 million in the
period ended June 30, 1999 to $9.7 million in the period ended June 30, 2000.
This decline is due to the overall decline in the industry as well as some
operating divisions choosing not to accept lower margin business.
       EBIT increased 101.7% in the wood segment from a loss of $793,000 in the
second quarter of 1999 to income of $13,000, exclusive of the restructuring
charges, in the second quarter of 2000. As a percentage of net sales, EBIT
increased 6.8% from a loss of 6.7% to income of 0.1% in the second quarter of
1999 and 2000, respectively. This increase is due specifically to one operating
unit experiencing exceptional operating efficiencies and returning to
profitability for the quarter for the first time in three years.

Other Segment Discussion

       Net sales in the other segment decreased by 20.8%, or $3.8 million from
$18.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $14.3 million in the
three month period ending June 30, 2000. This decrease is primarily attributable
to decreased sales in all of the Company's other segment business units as a
result of the overall decline in the industries to which the Company serves.

       The other segment experienced an EBIT of $80,700 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 compared to EBIT of $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1999. This decrease of $1.0 million, or 92.3%, is a result of one of the
Company's other segment business units experiencing operating inefficiencies
related to the relocation of its existing business as well as the overall
decline in the industry trends mentioned above.



<PAGE>


Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1998

Laminating Segment Discussion

       Net sales were about the same in this segment in both second quarters,
with 1999 showing only $222,000 less than 1998 on totals of over $51 million.

       The operating income in the laminating segment was down approximately
$330,000, or 15%, in the 1999 quarter primarily due to increased material costs
and new product start-up costs at one division.


Distribution Segment Discussion

       Net sales increased in the 1999 second quarter by 12.6% primarily because
of increased production in the recreational vehicle and manufactured housing
industries, which this segment serves.

       The operating income in this segment was 24.5% higher in 1999 because of
increased sales and lower warehouse and delivery expenses as percentages of
sales.


Wood Segment Discussion

       Net sales were lower in the 1999 second quarter by 16.5% because of one
division in this segment. This division closed an operation which was all
intersegment sales and that accounted for 8.3% of the sales reduction. The
balance of the sales decrease in this segment came about when this same division
chose not to serve certain markets because of declining gross profit margins.

       The operating results for this segment in the second quarter were
affected by this same division. The sales decline and continued competitive
pricing situations caused this division and the segment to report negative
operating results.


Other Segment Discussion

       Net sales in this segment increased 3.4% in the second quarter of 1999
with all divisions, except one, showing sales growth.

       The operating income in this segment was lower by 8.1% in 1999 because of
inventory cost increases in one division, and the lower sales in another
division.


Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

Laminating Segment Discussion

       Net sales decreased $7.9 million from $97.9 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1999 to $90.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
primarily due to the decline in volume in the manufactured housing industry.

       EBIT decreased $2.3 million, or 55.9%, because of lower sales volumes and
highly competitive pricing.


<PAGE>


Distribution Segment Discussion

       Net sales decreased $16.3 million, or 18.0%, from $90.8 million in the
six month period ended June 30, 1999 to $74.5 million in the same period in
2000. This decline is due primarily to the overall decline in volume in the
manufactured housing industry.

       EBIT decreased $1.3 million, or 53.5%, from $2.4 million in the first six
months of 1999 compared to $1.1 million in the first six months of 2000. This
decline is due to lower sales volumes and the increase in gasoline prices in the
first half of fiscal 2000.

Wood Segment Discussion

       Net sales decreased $3.1 million, or 13.8%, due to the decline in the
manufactured housing industry.

       The wood segment, exclusive of the impairment charge, experienced a
decreased operating loss of approximately $925,000 from a loss of $1.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to a loss of $649,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000. This decrease in operating loss is a direct result of the
Company gaining operating efficiencies, and increased volume from the
restructuring at several of its wood segment business units.

Other Segment Discussion

       Net sales decreased by $3.5 million, or 10.4%, from $33.5 million in the
six months ended June 30, 1999 to $30.0 million in the six months ended June 30,
2000. This decline is due to the decline in the manufactured housing industry
and the other industries to which the Company serves.

       Operating income, exclusive of the impairment charge, decreased $1.6
million, or 98.3%, from $1.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to
$28,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000. Operating efficiencies were lost
in one division of this segment in the first six months of 2000 due to plant
reorganizing and low sales volumes, and two other divisions had reduced sales
levels because of the manufactured housing industry slow down .


Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

Laminating Segment Discussion

       Net sales were lower by 4.3% in the first half of 1999 due primarily to
the closing of a facility in this segment in the second half of 1998.

       The operating income in laminating in the first half year of 1999 showed
a small improvement, even after one division had new product start-up costs and
material cost increases.

Distribution Segment Discussion

       Net sales increased in the first six months of this year by 15.2% because
of increased production in the recreational vehicle and manufactured housing
industries, which this segment services.

       The operating income in this segment was 45.6% higher in this years first
half because of the increased sales and lower operating expenses as percentages
of those sales.



<PAGE>


Wood Segment Discussion

       Net sales in this segment were lower by 7.3% in the first half of 1999,
primarily because of one division. That division closed an operation which was
all intersegment sales and also stopped serving certain markets because of low
gross profit margins.

       The operating results in the first six months were affected by this same
division. The sales decline and continued competitive pricing situations caused
this division to report negative operating results. Certain other operations in
this segment did not reach profitable operating levels because of competitive
pricing situations.


Other Segment Discussion

       Net sales were 5.3% lower in 1999 in this segment primarily due to one
division losing production time in the first quarter because of equipment
breakdowns.

       The operating income in this segment decreased 30.3% because of the lost
production time at one division due to equipment failure and to inventory cost
increases at one other division.



 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       The Company's primary capital requirements are to meet working capital
needs, support its capital expenditure plans, and meet debt service
requirements.

       The Company, in September, 1995, issued to an insurance company in a
private placement $18,000,000 of senior unsecured notes. The ten year notes bear
interest at 6.82%, with semi-annual interest payments that began in 1996 and
seven annual principal repayments of $2,571,428 beginning September 15, 1999.
These funds were used to reduce existing bank debt and for working capital
needs.

       The Company has an unsecured bank Revolving Credit Agreement that
provides loan availability of $10,000,000 with maturity in the year 2003.

       Pursuant to the private placement and the Credit Agreement, the Company
is required to maintain certain financial ratios, all of which are currently
complied with.

       The Company believes that cash generated from operations and borrowings
under its credit agreements will be sufficient to fund its working capital
requirements and normal recurring capital expenditures as currently
contemplated. The fluctuations in inventory and accounts receivable balances,
which affect the Company's cash flows, are part of normal business cycles.


SEASONALITY

       Manufacturing operations in the manufactured housing and recreational
vehicle industries historically have been seasonal and are generally at the
highest levels when the climate is moderate. Accordingly, the Company's sales
and profits are generally highest in the second and third quarters.





<PAGE>


INFLATION

       The Company does not believe that inflation had a material effect on
results of operations for the periods presented.


SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

       Statements that do not address historical performance are
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation reform Act of 1995 and are based on a number of assumptions,
including bot not limited to; (1) continued domestic economic growth and demand
for the Company's products; and (2) the Company's belief with respect to its
capital expenditures, seasonality and inflation. Any developments significantly
deviating from these assumptions could cause actual results to differ materially
from those forecast or implied in the aforementioned forward-looking statements.
