further information refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 1995.

Certain fiscal 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform
to fiscal 1996 presentation.

NOTE B--CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Adoption of this Statement did
not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition
or results of operations.  In addition, no future material impact
on financial condition or results of operations is expected.

NOTE C--EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average common
shares outstanding.  The dilutive effect of stock options on
earnings per share is not significant and has been excluded for
all periods presented.

NOTE D--CUSTOMER RECEIVABLES

The components of customer receivables were:

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

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be
made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels
and costs at that time.  Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations
must necessarily be based on management's estimates of expected
year-end inventory levels and costs.  Since they are subject to
many forces beyond management's control, interim results are
subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

NOTE F--LOANS PAYABLE

The revolving credit facility is used by the Company as a working
capital account.  As such, borrowings and repayments routinely
occur on a daily basis.  For the six month period ended
October 31, 1995, total transactions through the revolving
credit facility were borrowings and payments of $7.0 million.
For the six month period ended October 31, 1994, total transactions
through the revolving credit facility were borrowings of $10.2
million and payments of $12.2 million, resulting in a net reduction
of $2.0 million for the period.  There were no revolving credit 
loans outstanding at October 31, 1995 and 1994.

NOTE H--OTHER INFORMATION

The Company is involved in various suits and claims in the
normal course of business. Included therein are claims against
the Company pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission. Although management believes that such claims are
without merit and intends to vigorously contest them, the
ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this
time. In the opinion of management, after consultation with
counsel, the ultimate liabilities and losses, if any, that may
result from suits and claims involving the Company will not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations
or financial position.

The Company is voluntarily participating with a group of
companies which is cleaning up a waste facility site at the
direction of a state environmental authority.

The Company records liabilities for all probable and reasonably
estimable loss contingencies on an undiscounted basis.  For loss
contingencies related to environmental matters, liabilities are
based on the Company's proportional share of the contamination
obligation of a site since management believes it "probable"
that the other parties, which are financially solvent, will
fulfill their proportional contamination obligations.  There are
no probable insurance or other indemnification receivables
recorded. The Company has accrued for all known environmental
remediation costs which are probable and can be reasonably
estimated, and such amounts are not material.  Due to factors
such as the continuing evolution of environmental laws and
regulatory requirements, technological changes, and the
allocation of costs among potentially responsible parties,
estimation of future remediation costs is necessarily imprecise.
It is possible that the ultimate cost, which cannot be
determined at this time, could exceed the Company's recorded
liability.  As a result, charges to income for environmental
liabilities could have a material effect on results of
operations in a particular quarter or year as assessments and
remediation efforts proceed.  However, management is not aware
of any matters which would be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
            THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1995 AND 1994      


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1996
decreased 9.4% over the second quarter of the prior year.  Net
sales for the six month period ending October 31, 1995
decreased 3.4% over the first six months of the prior year.
The decrease in net sales for both periods was attributable to
a decline in unit volumes in the home center channel.  The
Company was adversely impacted by a general economic slowdown
in the home center industry, especially for durable, big ticket
items.  Unit volumes for both periods increased slightly in the
Distributor and Builder Channels due to continuing pockets of
economic growth in new construction.  Current year average unit
prices increased over prior year prices due to a general price
increase implemented during the third quarter of the prior
fiscal year.

Fiscal 1996 second quarter and six month period gross margins
were 19.7% of net sales, decreasing from comparative fiscal
1995 gross margins of 24.7% and 24.3%, respectively.  The
decline in gross margins for both periods was primarily
attributable to manufacturing labor inefficiencies and higher
freight costs. Increased labor costs resulted from normal rate
increases, temporary inefficiencies relating to capital
projects at several manufacturing facilities and less than
anticipated demand for product.  Implementation of new service
programs contributed to higher freight costs than experienced
in the first six months of the prior year.

General and administrative expenses decreased $1.0 million for
the second quarter of fiscal 1996 and $1.1 million for the
first six months compared to the prior year.  The decline in
expenses for both periods was primarily due to reduced employee
compensation associated with the Company's performance
incentive programs.  Contributing to the expense reductions for
both periods of the current year were expenses incurred in the
second quarter of the prior year relating to additions to the
executive management team.

In fiscal 1995, the Company recognized $516,000 in
restructuring activities initiated in fiscal 1993 that did not
become accruable until fiscal 1995.  These costs included
severance, lease termination costs, losses on lease
commitments, and equipment and leasehold improvement write-
downs.

Interest expense decreased $120,000 and $23,000 for the six
month period and second quarter of fiscal 1996, respectively, as
compared to the prior year.  The decrease in interest expense
resulted from the Company's continued reduction in debt.  Total
average outstanding debt for the six month period of fiscal
1996 declined $4.0 million from the same period in fiscal 1995.


                                     9
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's operating activities in the first six months of
fiscal 1996 generated $2.8 million net cash compared to $8.5
million the prior year.  Lower profits, an increase in working
capital, and reduced accruals relating to the Company's
performance incentives were the primary factors for the lower
cash in-flows in the current period.  Cash provided by
operating activities was favorably impacted during the current
period by the refund of short-term deposits made during the
prior fiscal year to fund the construction of equipment now in
operation at the Toccoa, Georgia component plant.  The
equipment was financed through an operating lease.

The Company continued an aggressive cost reduction capital
spending program, investing $4.1 million in capital
expenditures for the first six months of fiscal 1996.  During
this period, equipment was purchased for the Hardy County, West
Virginia facility to increase efficiency and lower overall
production costs.  Spending continued for the expansion of the
Toccoa, Georgia facility to accommodate additional equipment
that promotes a more efficient and cost effective process flow.
In addition, a capital project to improve lumber processing at
the Orange, Virginia facility was completed during the period.
All other capital expenditures during the first six months of
fiscal 1996 were limited to necessary or replacement items and
cost savings projects.

Net cash used in financing activities in the first six months
of fiscal 1996 was $722,000, a decrease of $2.4 million from
the prior year.  The difference is primarily the result of
payments in fiscal 1995 that eliminated the Company's
short-term revolving debt balance.  Cash flow from operations,
combined with available borrowing capacity, is expected to be
sufficient to meet forecasted working capital requirements,
service existing debt obligations, and fund capital
expenditures for fiscal 1996.

OTHER

The Company anticipates an overall economic environment of slow
growth supported by stable interest rates and low inflation for
the remainder of fiscal 1996.  Within this macroeconomic
environment, the Company also anticipates sluggish demand for
big ticket, special order items such as kitchen cabinets.  The
Company expects this sluggish demand will be a significant
factor in the home center industry as remodeling projects are
adversely impacted by high consumer debt, pressure on
disposable income and fragile consumer confidence.  The Company
does not anticipate overall sales growth in this environment,
although the Company does expect to gain share in a down market
based on its position with major customers.  The Company expects
gross margins to improve from the first half of fiscal 1996 as
the Company aggressively pursues cost reductions in the current
industry environment.  The Company expects to remain profitable
and to maintain the strength of the Company's balance sheet.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived

Company's results of operations or financial position.
