NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

     Builders FirstSource, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed in 1998, is a leading supplier and manufacturer of structural and related building products for residential new construction in the United States. In this quarterly report, references to the “company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” or “us” refer to Builders FirstSource, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all recurring adjustments and normal accruals necessary for a fair statement of the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected during the remainder of the current year or for any future period. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the more detailed audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K.

2. Net Loss per Common Share

     Net loss per common share (“EPS”) is calculated in accordance with the Earnings per Share topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”), which requires the presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares.

     Our restricted stock shares include rights to receive dividends that are not subject to the risk of forfeiture even if the underlying restricted stock shares on which the dividends were paid do not vest. In accordance with the Earnings per Share topic of the Codification, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are deemed participating securities and should be considered in the calculation of basic EPS. Since the restricted stock shares do not include an obligation to share in losses, they will be included in our basic EPS calculation in periods of net income and excluded from our basic EPS calculation in periods of net loss. Accordingly, there were 1.8 million and 2.0 million restricted stock shares excluded from the computations of basic EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, because we generated a net loss. For the purpose of computing diluted EPS, options to purchase 5.7 million and 6.1 million shares of common stock were not included in the computations of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, because their effect was anti-dilutive.

3. Debt

     Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

		September 30,				December 31,
		2011				2010
Revolving credit facility		$	20,000			$	20,000
Floating rate notes:
2012 notes			5,249				5,249
2016 notes			139,718				139,718
Other			4,099				4,135
			169,066				169,102
Less: current portion of long-term debt			5,302				5,301
Total long-term debt, net of current maturities		$	163,764			$	163,801

     We have a $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2007 Agreement”) with a consortium of banks. The 2007 Agreement is scheduled to mature in December 2012. Our borrowing base consists of trade accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets, which meet specific criteria contained within the 2007 Agreement, minus agent specified reserves. Our net available borrowing capacity in excess of the minimum liquidity requirement at September 30, 2011 was $47.1 million. At September 30, 2011, the minimum liquidity requirement, which is determined on a sliding scale based on our ninety-day average gross availability, was $16.25 million. The 2007 Agreement has certain restrictive covenants, which, among other things, relate to the payment of dividends, incurrence of indebtedness, and asset sales. We were not in violation of any of these covenants as of September 30, 2011. The 2007 Agreement also has a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1:1 that is triggered if our available borrowing capacity, as determined under the borrowing base formula, is less than a minimum liquidity requirement. The calculation allows cash on deposit with the agent to be included in the eligible borrowing base. The fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of earnings before interest expenses, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses minus capital expenditures, cash taxes paid, dividends, distributions and share repurchases or redemptions to the sum of scheduled principal payments and interest expense on a trailing twelve month basis from the trigger date. Based on our 2011 forecast, we will not meet the fixed charge coverage ratio, but we anticipate that we will not fall below the minimum liquidity covenant in 2011 including the use of cash on deposit with the agent; therefore, we will not trigger the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement. Further declines in our borrowing base, if any, could compel us to either repay outstanding borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility or increase our cash on deposit with the agent in order to meet the minimum liquidity requirement.

     In October 2011, we repaid the remaining balance of $5.3 million on our 2012 notes.

     We had two interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts of $100 million and $50 million, which expired on May 15, 2011. We entered into these interest rate swaps in order to mitigate a portion of the interest rate risk that we were exposed to in the normal course of business on our floating rate notes.

     The table below presents the effect of our interest rate swap derivatives on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

     The following table presents the components of comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2011				2010				2011				2010
Net loss		$	(11,564	)		$	(20,470	)		$	(48,297	)		$	(70,895	)
Other comprehensive income — change related to interest rate swap agreements, net of related tax effect			—				592				2,157				2,039
Total comprehensive loss		$	(11,564	)		$	(19,878	)		$	(46,140	)		$	(68,856	)

5. Facility Closure Costs

     During the second quarter of 2011, we closed a distribution facility in Georgia which had been idled since 2008. This facility was closed due to the continued depressed market conditions, the housing recovery taking longer than originally anticipated, our success in finding a subtenant to partially offset our remaining future lease obligations, and our ability to adequately service our customers from other existing locations in the market. In the second quarter of 2011, we recognized $1.9 million in facility closure costs which were primarily related to the future minimum lease obligations on this facility, net of estimated sub-rental lease income. The facility and other exit cost reserves of $3.0 million at September 30, 2011, of which $2.3 million is recorded as other long-term liabilities, are primarily related to future minimum lease obligations on vacated facilities.

     In situations where multiple facilities serve the same market we may temporarily close, or idle, facilities with plans to reopen these facilities once demand returns to the market. Should conditions in our markets worsen, or recovery take significantly longer than forecasted, we may temporarily idle or permanently close additional facilities, at which time we may incur additional facility closure costs or asset impairment charges. Future non-cash impairment charges would have the effect of decreasing our earnings or increasing our losses in such period, but would not impact our current outstanding debt obligations or compliance with covenants contained in the related debt agreements.

6. Income Taxes

     In accordance with the Income Taxes topic of the Codification, we evaluate our deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if a valuation allowance is required. The Income Taxes topic requires that companies assess whether valuation allowances should be established based on the consideration of all available evidence. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded valuation allowances of $4.7 million and $19.6 million, respectively, against the net deferred tax assets generated from the net losses during the periods related to our continuing operations. In connection with the expiration of our interest rate swaps during 2011, we reclassified $1.3 million of valuation allowance from accumulated other comprehensive loss to income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded valuation allowances of $7.2 million and $25.9 million, respectively, against the net deferred tax assets generated from the net losses during the periods related to our continuing operations.

     To the extent we generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the tax benefits of the net deferred tax assets on which a valuation allowance is recorded, our effective tax rate may decrease as the valuation allowance is reversed. However, to the extent we generate future operating losses, we would be required to increase the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets and our income tax expense will be adversely affected.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

     We are a party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the outcome of any claim that is pending or threatened, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, there can be no assurances that future costs related to legal proceedings would not be material to our results of operations or liquidity for a particular period.

8. Segment and Product Information

     We have three regional operating segments — Atlantic, Southeast and Central — with centralized financial and operational oversight. We believe that these operating segments meet the aggregation criteria prescribed in the Segment Reporting topic of the Codification, and thus have one reportable segment.

     Sales by product category for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2011				2010				2011				2010

Other building products & services			40,782				33,530				106,060				99,688
Total sales		$	217,194			$	180,394			$	586,416			$	553,250

9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In September 2011, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance under the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other topic of the Codification. The new guidance permits an entity to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines this to be the case, it is then required to perform the current two-step goodwill impairment test to identify any potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit, if any. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. This guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2012, for all annual and interim goodwill impairment tests. We do not expect these changes to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

     In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance under the Comprehensive Income topic of the Codification which eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Rather, an entity will be required to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2012, and we are currently evaluating the two presentation options. These changes will be for presentation and disclosure only and will have no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. The following discussion and analysis should also be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, references to the “company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” or “us” refer to Builders FirstSource, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires.

Cautionary Statement

     Statements in this report which are not purely historical facts or which necessarily depend upon future events, including statements regarding our anticipations, beliefs, expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies for the future, may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All forward-looking statements in this report are based upon information available to us on the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

     We are a leading supplier and manufacturer of structural and related building products for residential new construction in the U.S. We offer an integrated solution to our customers providing manufacturing, supply and installation of a full range of structural and related building products. Our manufactured products include our factory-built roof and floor trusses, wall panels and stairs, aluminum and vinyl windows, custom millwork and trim, as well as engineered wood that we design and cut for each home. We also assemble interior and exterior doors into pre-hung units. Additionally, we supply our customers with a broad offering of professional grade building products not manufactured by us, such as dimensional lumber and lumber sheet goods, various window, door and millwork lines, as well as cabinets, roofing and gypsum wallboard. Our full range of construction-related services includes professional installation, turn-key framing and shell construction, and spans all our product categories.

     We group our building products into five product categories:

•

Prefabricated Components. Our prefabricated components consist of wood floor and roof trusses, steel roof trusses, wall panels, stairs, and engineered wood.

•

Windows & Doors. Our windows & doors category is comprised of the manufacturing, assembly, and distribution of windows and the assembly and distribution of interior and exterior door units.

•

•

Other Building Products & Services. Other building products & services are comprised of products such as cabinets, gypsum, roofing and insulation and services such as turn-key framing, shell construction, design assistance, and professional installation spanning all of our product categories.

     Our operating results are dependent on the following trends, events and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control:

•

Homebuilding Industry. Our business is driven primarily by the residential new construction market, which is in turn dependent upon a number of factors, including interest rates, consumer confidence, foreclosure rates, and the health of the

economy and mortgage markets. Over the past few years, many homebuilders significantly decreased their housing starts because of lower demand and an excess of home inventory. Due to the decline in housing starts and increased competition for homebuilder business, we have and will continue to experience pressure on our gross margins. Housing starts remain at historically low levels but industry forecasters expect to see some improvement over the next few years. We also still believe there are several meaningful trends that indicate U.S. housing demand will likely recover in the long term and that the current downturn in the housing industry is likely a trough in the cyclical nature of the residential construction industry. These trends include relatively low interest rates, the aging of housing stock, and population growth due to immigration and birthrate exceeding death rate.

•

Targeting Large Production Homebuilders. Over the past 10 years, the homebuilding industry has undergone significant consolidation, with the larger homebuilders substantially increasing their market share. We expect that trend to continue due to the better liquidity and land positions of the larger homebuilders relative to the smaller, less capitalized homebuilders. Our focus is on maintaining relationships and market share with these customers while balancing the competitive pressures we are facing in our markets. We expect that our ability to maintain strong relationships with the largest builders will be vital to our ability to grow and expand into new markets as well as maintain our current market share through the current downturn. Additionally, during this downturn, we have been successful in expanding our custom homebuilder base while maintaining acceptable credit standards.

•

Expand into Multi-Family and Light Commercial Business. We continue to look for ways to expand our multi-family and light commercial business to further diversify our customer base and lessen our dependence on single-family residential new construction.

•

Use of Prefabricated Components. Prior to the current housing downturn, homebuilders were increasingly using prefabricated components in order to realize increased efficiency and improved quality. Shortening cycle time from start to completion was a key imperative of the homebuilders during periods of strong consumer demand. With the current housing downturn, that trend decelerated as cycle time had less relevance. Customers who traditionally used prefabricated components, for the most part, still do. However, the conversion of customers to this product offering has slowed. We expect this trend to continue at least for the duration of this downturn. In response, we have reduced our manufacturing capacity and delayed plans to open new facilities.

•

Economic Conditions. Economic changes both nationally and locally in our markets impact our financial performance. The building products supply industry is highly dependent upon new home construction and subject to cyclical market changes. Our operations are subject to fluctuations arising from changes in supply and demand, national economic conditions, labor costs, competition, government regulation, trade policies and other factors that affect the homebuilding industry such as demographic trends, interest rates, single-family housing starts, employment levels, consumer confidence, and the availability of credit to homebuilders, contractors, and homeowners. Over the past few years, the mortgage markets have experienced substantial disruption due to increased defaults. This disruption resulted in a stricter regulatory environment and reduced availability of mortgages for potential homebuyers due to an illiquid credit market and tighter standards to qualify for mortgages. Mortgage financing and commercial credit for smaller homebuilders continue to be severely constrained. As the housing industry is dependent upon the economy and employment levels as well as potential homebuyers’ access to mortgage financing and homebuilders’ access to commercial credit, it is likely that the housing industry will not significantly improve until conditions in the economy and the credit markets improve and unemployment rates decline.

•

Cost of Materials. Prices of wood products, which are subject to cyclical market fluctuations, may adversely impact operating income when prices rapidly rise or fall within a relatively short period of time. We purchase certain materials, including lumber products, which are then sold to customers as well as used as direct production inputs for our manufactured and prefabricated products. Short-term changes in the cost of these materials, some of which are subject to significant fluctuations, are sometimes passed on to our customers, but our pricing quotation periods may limit our ability to pass on such price changes. We may also be limited in our ability to pass on increases on in-bound freight costs on our products due to the price of fuel. Our inability to pass on material price increases to our customers could adversely impact our operating results.

•

Controlling Expenses. Another important aspect of our strategy is controlling costs and enhancing our status as a low-cost building materials supplier in the markets we serve. We pay close attention to managing our working capital and operating expenses. We have a “best practices” operating philosophy, which encourages increasing efficiency, lowering costs, improving working capital, and maximizing profitability and cash flow. We constantly analyze our workforce productivity to achieve the optimum, cost-efficient labor mix for our facilities. Further, we pay careful attention to our logistics function and its effect on our shipping and handling costs.

CURRENT OPERATING CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK

     The homebuilding industry continues to be challenging as the annualized rate for U.S. single-family housing starts, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, at September 30, 2011 was 425,000, down 4.9% when compared to September 2010. Actual U.S. single-family housing starts for the third quarter of 2011 were 117,300, which was down 1.4% from the same quarter last year. For the quarter, however, actual single-family housing starts in the South Region, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau and which encompasses our entire geographic footprint, increased to 61,800, up 5.1% from the third quarter of 2010. The housing industry continues to struggle due to the limited availability of credit to smaller homebuilders and potential homebuyers, a slow economic recovery, excess home inventory and high unemployment rates, among other factors. The National Association of Homebuilders (“NAHB”) is only forecasting 422,000 U.S. single-family housing starts for 2011, which is down approximately 10.4% from 2010.

     Despite the continued sluggish housing market, we achieved a 20.4% increase in sales during the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the third quarter of 2010. This was primarily due to increased sales volume, as we gained market share by expanding our customer base and promoting our wide array of products and services to existing and new customers. We were also able to increase our gross margin percentage by 0.8 percentage points during the quarter compared to the prior year, primarily due to this increased sales volume combined with a decrease of fixed costs in costs of goods sold. We have continued to manage our operating expenses during the downturn with a key focus on conserving liquidity. Our selling, general, and administrative expenses, excluding stock compensation expense and the benefit of a $1.2 million litigation settlement recorded in the third quarter of 2010, increased only $0.8 million during the current quarter when compared to the same quarter in the prior year despite a $36.8 million increase in sales. We have made significant changes to our business during the downturn that have improved our operating efficiency and allowed us to better leverage our operating costs against changes in sales.

     We still believe that the long-term outlook for the housing industry is positive due to the growth in the underlying demographics. We will continue to focus on working capital by closely monitoring the credit exposure of our customers and by working with our vendors to improve our payment terms and pricing on our products. We will also continue to work diligently to achieve the appropriate balance of short-term cost reductions while maintaining the expertise to grow the business when market conditions improve. We want to create long-term shareholder value and avoid taking steps that will limit our ability to compete.

SEASONALITY AND OTHER FACTORS

     Our first and fourth quarters have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, adversely affected by weather patterns in some of our markets, resulting in reduced construction activity. In addition, quarterly results historically have reflected, and are expected to continue to reflect, fluctuations from period to period arising from the following:

•

The volatility of lumber prices;

•

The cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry;

•

General economic conditions in the markets in which we compete;

•

The pricing policies of our competitors;

•

The production schedules of our customers; and

•

The effects of weather.

     The composition and level of working capital typically change during periods of increasing sales as we carry more inventory and receivables. Working capital levels typically increase in the second and third quarters of the year due to higher sales during the peak residential construction season. These increases have in the past resulted in negative operating cash flows during this peak season, which generally have been financed through available cash. Collection of receivables and reduction in inventory levels following the peak building and construction season have in the past positively impacted cash flow. We have also from time to time utilized our credit facility to cover working capital needs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following table sets forth, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the percentage relationship to sales of certain costs, expenses and income items:

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2011				2010				2011				2010
Sales			100.0	%			100.0	%			100.0	%			100.0	%

Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared with the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010

     Sales. Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $217.2 million, a 20.4% increase from sales of $180.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. We achieved this increase in sales despite a continuing weak housing environment. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, actual U.S. single-family housing starts declined 1.4% compared to the third quarter of 2010. In the South Region we saw a slightly more positive trend, as actual single-family housing starts increased 5.1% during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter a year ago. We estimate that our sales volume increased approximately 22% during the quarter, and was partially offset by commodity price deflation. The increased sales volume was achieved across all product categories, as we expanded our customer base and increased sales to existing customers.

     The following table shows sales classified by product category (dollars in millions):

		Three Months Ended September 30,
		2011								2010
		Sales				% of Sales				Sales				% of Sales				% Change
Prefabricated components		$	41.0				18.9	%		$	36.3				20.1	%			13.1	%
Windows & doors			51.3				23.6				40.9				22.7				25.4
Lumber & lumber sheet goods			61.9				28.5				50.1				27.7				23.7
Millwork			22.2				10.2				19.6				10.9				13.1
Other building products & services			40.8				18.8				33.5				18.6				21.6
Total sales		$	217.2				100.0	%		$	180.4				100.0	%			20.4	%

     Gross Margin. Gross margin increased $8.9 million to $44.4 million. Our gross margin percentage increased from 19.7% in the third quarter of 2010 to 20.5% in the current quarter, a 0.8 percentage point increase. Our gross margin percentage increased by 1.1 percentage points due to increased sales volume combined with a decrease of fixed costs in costs of goods sold. This was offset slightly by a 0.4 percentage decrease in sales price.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.6 million, or 5.5%. Our salaries and benefits expense, excluding stock compensation expense, was $28.8 million, an increase of $0.3 million from the third quarter of 2010. Delivery expense increased $0.5 million as compared to the third quarter of 2010 largely due to higher fuel costs.

     As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding stock compensation expense and the benefit of a $1.2 million litigation settlement recorded in the third quarter of 2010, decreased from 26.4% in 2010 to 22.3% in 2011. Salaries and benefits expense, excluding stock compensation expense, as a percentage of sales decreased 2.5%. As a percentage of sales,

occupancy expense decreased 0.4% and delivery costs decreased 0.7%. We continue to monitor our operating cost structure closely and make adjustments as necessary.

     Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense was $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $1.6 million from the third quarter of 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the expiration of our interest rate swaps during the current year.

     Income Tax Expense (Benefit). We recorded income tax expense of $0.3 million during the quarter compared to an income tax benefit of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2010. We recorded an after-tax, non-cash valuation allowance of $4.7 million and $7.2 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to our net deferred tax assets. Absent this valuation allowance, our tax benefit rate would have been 39.2% and 38.4% in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

     Sales. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $586.4 million, a 6.0% increase from sales of $553.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We achieved this sales increase despite a decline in housing starts during the period. Actual U.S. single-family housing starts for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 declined 12.1% compared to the first nine months of 2010. In the South Region, actual single-family housing starts were down 9.9% compared to a year ago. We estimate that our sales volume increased approximately 7.5%, and was partially offset by commodity price deflation. The increased sales volume was achieved across all product categories, as we expanded our customer base and increased sales to existing customers.

     The following table shows sales classified by product category (dollars in millions):

		Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2011								2010
		Sales				% of Sales				Sales				% of Sales				% Change
Prefabricated components		$	112.0				19.1	%		$	109.5				19.8	%			2.4	%
Windows & doors			136.1				23.2				124.3				22.5				9.5
Lumber & lumber sheet goods			170.8				29.1				160.6				29.0				6.3
Millwork			61.4				10.5				59.2				10.7				3.8
Other building products & services			106.1				18.1				99.7				18.0				6.4
Total sales		$	586.4				100.0	%		$	553.3				100.0	%			6.0	%

     Gross Margin. Gross margin increased $15.0 million to $118.7 million. Our gross margin percentage increased from 18.7% in the first nine months of 2010 to 20.2% in the current period, a 1.5 percentage point increase. Our gross margin percentage increased by 0.8 percentage points due to increased sales volume combined with a decrease of fixed costs in costs of goods sold. The remaining increase in our gross margin percentage was primarily due to improved pricing on sales of our manufactured products, coupled with less volatility in the commodity markets during the current year.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.6 million, or 1.7%. Our salaries and benefits expense, excluding stock compensation expense, was $83.3 million, a decline of $3.1 million from the first nine months of 2010, which was partially due to a 2.1% reduction of our average full-time equivalent headcount. Delivery expense decreased $0.6 million year over year due to reduced vehicle and equipment lease expense which was slightly offset by higher fuel costs.

     As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding stock compensation expense and the benefit of a $1.2 million litigation settlement recorded in the third quarter of 2010, decreased from 26.5% in 2010 to 24.3% in 2011. Salaries and benefits expense, excluding stock compensation expense, as a percentage of sales decreased 1.4% and delivery costs as a percentage of sales decreased by 0.4%. We continue to monitor our operating cost structure closely and make adjustments as necessary.

     Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense was $16.9 million in 2011, a decrease of $7.9 million. The decrease was primarily due to the write-off of $1.6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to long-term debt repaid and $2.5 million of costs incurred related to our recapitalization transaction in the first half of 2010. The remaining decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the expiration of our interest rate swaps during the current year.

     Income Tax Expense (Benefit). We recorded income tax expense of $1.9 million for the first nine months of 2011 compared to an income tax benefit of $1.0 million for 2010. We recorded an after-tax, non-cash valuation allowance of $19.6 million and $25.9 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to our net deferred tax assets. Absent this valuation allowance, our tax benefit rate would have been 38.3% and 38.1% in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Availability under our $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility is determined by a borrowing base. The following table shows our borrowing base, excess availability, borrowing availability and fixed charge coverage ratio as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in millions):

		As of
		September 30,				December 31,
		2011				2010
Accounts Receivable Availability		$	65.6			$	42.8
Inventory Availability			29.8				26.4
Equipment Availability			2.1				2.9
Gross Availability			97.5				72.1
Less:
Agent Reserves			(1.3	)			(3.6	)
Borrowing Base			96.2				68.5
Plus:
Qualified Cash			—				—
Less:
Outstanding Borrowings			(20.0	)			(20.0	)
Letters of Credit			(12.8	)			(15.9	)
Excess Availability		$	63.4			$	32.6
Less:
Minimum Liquidity Requirement			(16.3	)			(10.0	)
Borrowing Availability		$	47.1			$	22.6
Actual Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio			-1.12 x				-2.06 x
Required Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio*			1.00 x				1.00 x

     Our borrowing base consists of trade accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets, which meet specific criteria contained within the credit agreement, minus agent specified reserves. Our net borrowing base availability, net of the minimum liquidity requirement, at September 30, 2011 was $47.1 million. Excess availability is the sum of borrowing base plus qualified cash, defined as cash on deposit with the agent subject to a control agreement, minus outstanding borrowings and letters of credit. This amount must equal or exceed a specified minimum liquidity requirement at the monthly reporting dates or we are required to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1 to 1, which we currently would not meet.

     Further declines in our borrowing base, if any, could compel us to either repay outstanding borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility or increase our cash on deposit with the agent in order to meet the minimum liquidity requirement. At September 30, 2011, we had $52.9 million of cash that can be used to either repay the $32.8 million currently funded under the facility, which consists of $20.0 million of outstanding borrowings and $12.8 million of letters of credit, or support any shortfall in the net borrowing base availability. At September 30, 2011, we were not in violation of any covenants or restrictions imposed by any of our debt agreements.

At September 30, 2011, we had total liquidity of $100.0 million, which consisted of $52.9 million of cash on hand and $47.1 million of net borrowing base availability. We expect our fourth quarter to essentially be cash neutral as cash used to fund operations, pay interest, and repay our remaining 2012 notes should largely be offset by seasonal reductions in working capital. As a result, we expect our cash used in fiscal year 2011 to approximate $50 – $55 million. However, due to the seasonal reductions in working capital in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the corresponding decrease in our borrowing base, we expect to end the year with total liquidity of approximately $80 million. We believe our current liquidity is sufficient to meet our needs over the next twelve months and do not

expect working capital to be a significant source of funds during this time period. We will continue to explore various financing alternatives in order to strengthen our liquidity position. Our senior secured revolving credit facility, which provides a substantial portion of our liquidity, is scheduled to mature in December 2012. Prior to the expiration date, we will be required to either extend the term beyond December 2012, enter into a new credit facility, or raise additional funds through the sale of common stock or debt in the public capital markets or in privately negotiated transactions. There can be no assurance that any of these financing options would be available on favorable terms, if at all.

Consolidated Cash Flows

     Cash used in operating activities was $47.9 million and $24.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We received a federal income tax refund of $33.8 million in 2010. Excluding this federal income tax refund, our cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $57.9 million. The decrease in cash used in operating activities, net of the income tax refund, is primarily related to lower operating losses in 2011 compared to 2010 due to increased sales and improved gross margins, partially offset by an increase in cash used due to changes in working capital.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, cash used in investing activities was $2.3 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a $5.4 million decrease in capital expenditures as we had more buyouts of expiring vehicle and equipment leases in the prior year.

     Cash from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $69.3 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the net proceeds received upon completion of the rights offering and debt exchange in the first quarter of 2010.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In September 2011, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance under the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other topic of the Codification. The new guidance permits an entity to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines this to be the case, it is then required to perform the current two-step goodwill impairment test to identify any potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit, if any. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. This guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2012, for all annual and interim goodwill impairment tests. We do not expect these changes to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance under the Comprehensive Income topic of the Codification which eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Rather, an entity will be required to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2012, and we are currently evaluating the two presentation options. These changes will be for presentation and disclosure only and will have no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     We experience changes in interest expense when market interest rates change. However, interest expense accrues on our 2016 notes at 3-month LIBOR (subject to a 3.0% floor) plus 10.0% and would not change unless LIBOR increased to greater than 3.0%. Changes in our debt could also increase these risks. Based on debt outstanding and LIBOR rates at September 30, 2011, a 1.0% increase in interest rates would result in approximately $0.2 million of additional interest expense annually.

     We purchase certain materials, including lumber products, which are then sold to customers as well as used as direct production inputs for our manufactured products that we deliver. Short-term changes in the cost of these materials and the related in-bound freight costs, some of which are subject to significant fluctuations, are sometimes, but not always, passed on to our customers. Our delayed ability to pass on material price increases to our customers can adversely impact our operating results.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

     Controls Evaluation and Related CEO and CFO Certifications. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer (“CEO”) and principal financial officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The controls evaluation was conducted by our Disclosure Committee, comprised of senior representatives from our finance, accounting, internal audit, and legal departments under the supervision of our CEO and CFO.

     Certifications of our CEO and our CFO, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), are attached as exhibits to this quarterly report. This “Controls and Procedures” section includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications, and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

     Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A system of controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Because of the limitations in all such systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Furthermore, the design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how unlikely. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective system of controls and procedures, misstatements or omissions due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

     Scope of the Controls Evaluation. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of their objectives and design, the Company’s implementation of the controls and procedures and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this quarterly report. In the course of the evaluation, we sought to identify whether we had any data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were being undertaken if needed. This type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures can be reported in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Many of the components of our disclosure controls and procedures are also evaluated by our internal audit department, our legal department and by personnel in our finance organization. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and procedures on an ongoing basis, and to maintain them as dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant.

     Conclusions regarding Disclosure Controls. Based on the required evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of September 30, 2011, we maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

     Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.		Legal Proceedings

     We are involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to the conduct of our business in the ordinary course. We carry insurance coverage in such amounts in excess of our self-insured retention as we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and that may or may not cover any or all of our liabilities in respect of claims and lawsuits. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

     Although our business and facilities are subject to federal, state and local environmental regulation, environmental regulation does not have a material impact on our operations. We believe that our facilities are in material compliance with such laws and regulations. As owners and lessees of real property, we can be held liable for the investigation or remediation of contamination on such properties, in some circumstances without regard to whether we knew of or were responsible for such contamination. Our current expenditures with respect to environmental investigation and remediation at our facilities are minimal, although no assurance can be provided that more significant remediation may not be required in the future as a result of spills or releases of petroleum products or hazardous substances or the discovery of unknown environmental conditions.

Item 1A.		Risk Factors

     In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part 1, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
