HUTTIG BUILDING PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Huttig Building Products, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company” or “Huttig”) were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The condensed consolidated results of operations and resulting cash flows for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the full year. Due to the seasonal nature of Huttig’s business, operating profitability is usually lower in the Company’s first and fourth quarters than in the second and third quarters.

2. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income refers to net income adjusted by gains and losses that in conformity with U.S. GAAP are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive items are amounts that are included in stockholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has no comprehensive income (loss) items and therefore the comprehensive net income (loss) is equal to net income (loss) for all periods presented.

3. DEBT

Debt consisted of the following (in millions):

Credit Agreement — The Company has a $120.0 million asset based senior secured revolving credit facility (“credit facility”). Borrowing availability under the credit facility is based on eligible accounts receivable, inventory and real estate. The real estate component of the borrowing base amortizes monthly over ten years on a straight-line basis. Borrowings under the credit facility are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and are subject to certain operating limitations applicable to a loan of this type, which, among other things, place limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets, cash dividends and transactions with affiliates. The entire unpaid balance under the credit facility is due and payable on September 3, 2014, the maturity date of the credit facility.

At September 30, 2012, under the credit facility, the Company had revolving credit borrowings of $62.4 million outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 3.04%, letters of credit outstanding totaling $4.9 million, primarily for liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and $36.2 million of additional committed borrowing capacity. The Company pays an unused commitment fee in the range of 0.30% to 0.375% per annum. In addition, the Company had $0.1 million of capital lease and other obligations outstanding at September 30, 2012.

The sole financial covenant in the credit facility is the fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) that must be tested by the Company if the excess borrowing availability falls below a range of $10.0 million to $15.0 million depending on the Company’s borrowing base and must also be tested on a pro forma basis prior to consummation of certain significant business transactions outside the Company’s ordinary course of business, as defined in the credit agreement governing the credit facility. The minimum FCCR is 1.25:1.00. At September 30, 2012, the FCCR testing threshold was $12.3 million, compared to $36.2 million of excess availability. In addition to the sole financial covenant, the credit facility gives the lenders the right to dominion of the Company’s bank accounts should excess borrowing availability fall below an amount equal to $5.0 million over the FCCR testing threshold, or $17.3 million at September 30, 2012. This right does not change the Company’s ability to borrow on the credit

7

facility in any manner nor does it make the underlying debt callable by the lender; however, under ASC 470, Debt, if the excess availability were to fall below the dominion threshold, the Company would be required to reclassify long-term debt to current debt on its balance sheet.

The Company believes that cash generated from its operations and funds available under the credit facility will provide sufficient funds to meet the operating needs of the Company for at least the next twelve months. In the first nine months of 2012, the minimum FCCR was not required to be tested as excess borrowing availability was greater than the minimum threshold. However, if availability would have fallen below that threshold, the Company would not have met the minimum FCCR. If the Company was unable to maintain excess borrowing availability of more than the applicable amount in the range of $10.0 million to $15.0 million and was also unable to comply with this financial covenant, its lenders would have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the loan commitments and accelerate the repayment of the entire amount outstanding under the credit facility. The lenders could also foreclose on the Company’s assets that secure the credit facility. In that event, the Company would be forced to seek alternative sources of financing, which may not be available on terms acceptable to it, or at all.

4. CONTINGENCIES

The Company carries insurance policies on insurable risks with coverage and other terms that it believes to be appropriate. The Company generally has self-insured retention limits and has obtained fully insured layers of coverage above such self-insured retention limits. Accruals for self-insurance losses are made based on claims experience. Liabilities for existing and unreported claims are accrued for when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and can be reasonably estimated.

In 1995, Huttig was identified as a potentially responsible party in connection with the clean up of contamination at a formerly owned property in Montana that was used for the manufacture of wood windows. Huttig is voluntarily remediating this property under the oversight of and in cooperation with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (“Montana DEQ”) and is complying with a 1995 unilateral administrative order of the Montana DEQ to complete a remedial investigation and feasibility study. The remedial investigation was completed and approved in 1998 by the Montana DEQ, which has issued its final risk assessment of this property. In March 2003, the Montana DEQ approved Huttig’s work plan for conducting a feasibility study to evaluate alternatives for cleanup. In July 2004, the Company submitted the feasibility study report, which evaluated several potential remedies, including continuation and enhancement of remedial measures already in place and operating. Huttig also submitted plans for testing a newer technology that could effectively remediate the site. The Montana DEQ approved these plans and a pilot test of the remediation technology was completed in July 2007. In conjunction with the Montana DEQ, the Company is performing additional testing at this site. After evaluating the results of the additional testing, the Montana DEQ will provide additional comments on the feasibility study report and its recommended remedy, and then will select a final remedy, publish a record of decision and negotiate with Huttig for an administrative order of consent on the implementation of the final remedy. Further, additional testing may be performed from time to time by the Montana DEQ. Huttig spent approximately $0.4 million on remediation costs at this site in each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The annual level of future remediation expenditures is difficult to estimate because of the uncertainty relating to the final remedy to be selected by the Montana DEQ. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has accrued $0.7 million in “Other non-current liabilities” for future costs of remediating this site, which management believes represents a reasonable estimate, based on current facts and circumstances, of the currently expected costs of remediation. Until the Montana DEQ selects a final remedy, however, management cannot estimate the top of the range of loss or cost to Huttig of the final remediation order.

In addition, some of the Company’s current and former distribution centers are located in areas of current or former industrial activity where environmental contamination may have occurred, and for which it, among others, could be held responsible. The Company currently believes that there are no material environmental liabilities at any of its distribution center locations.

The Company accrues expenses for contingencies when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and management can reasonably estimate the expense. Contingencies for which the Company has made accruals include environmental, product liability and other legal matters. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarter or annual period and the Company’s financial condition could be materially affected by changes in assumptions or other circumstances related to these matters.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company calculates its basic income per share by dividing net income allocated to common shares outstanding by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Outstanding shares of restricted stock participate in dividends on the same basis as common shares. The unvested restricted stock contains non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. As a result, these share-based awards meet the definition of participating securities and the Company applies the two-class method to compute earnings per share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats participating securities as having rights to earnings that would otherwise have been available to common stockholders. In periods in which the Company has net losses, the losses are not allowed to participating securities because the participating security holders are not obligated to share in such losses. The earnings allocated to participating securities for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, the diluted earnings per share calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise using the treasury stock method for both stock options and restricted stock units. The following table presents the number of common shares used in the calculation of net income per share from operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 ended September 30, 2011.

The calculation of diluted earnings per common share for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 excludes the impact of 259,909 and 267,817 shares (before application of the treasury stock method), respectively, related to antidilutive stock options, and restricted stock units. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share for both the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2011 excludes the impact of 263,125 shares related to antidilutive stock options and restricted stock units.

6. INCOME TAXES

Huttig recognized no income tax expense or benefit in the first nine months of 2012 or 2011. At September 30, 2012, the Company had gross deferred tax assets of $38.9 million and a valuation allowance of $30.8 million for net deferred tax assets of $8.1 million. The Company had deferred tax liabilities of $8.1 million at September 30, 2012. After classifying $0.8 million of short-term deferred tax assets with short-term deferred tax liabilities, the Company had current net deferred tax liabilities of $7.3 million, as well as long term deferred tax assets of $7.3 million at September 30, 2012. The Company expects its deferred tax liabilities to be settled with utilization of its deferred tax assets. The deferred tax liabilities enable the Company to partially utilize the deferred tax assets at September 30, 2012 and the balance of the deferred tax assets are covered by the Company’s valuation allowance. The Company is not relying on future pre-tax income at September 30, 2012 to support the utilization of the deferred tax assets.

7. STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION

The Company recognized $0.6 million and $0.4 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense in each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. During the first nine months of 2012, the Company granted an aggregate of 967,250 shares of restricted stock at a fair market value of $0.83 per share under its 2005 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan. The restricted shares vest in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The unearned compensation expense is being amortized into expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the total compensation expense not yet recognized related to all outstanding restricted stock/unit awards was approximately $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

8. SALE OF REAL ESTATE

The Company sold its idle facility in Anchorage, AK for $3.4 million resulting in a gain on sale of $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2012.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Huttig is a distributor of a broad array of building material products used principally in new residential construction, home improvement, and remodeling and repair projects. We distribute our products through 27 distribution centers serving 41 states and sell primarily to building materials dealers, national buying groups, home centers and industrial users, including makers of manufactured homes.

The following table sets forth our sales from continuing operations, by product classification as a percentage of total sales:

Industry Conditions

The prolonged downturn in the residential construction market has become one of the most severe housing downturns in U.S. history with significant challenges still remaining for the U.S. economy. Our sales depend heavily on the strength of local and national new residential construction, as well as the home improvement and remodeling markets. Beginning in 2006, our results of operations have been adversely affected by the severe downturn in new housing activity. While we expect the severe downturn in new residential construction to continue to adversely affect our operating results throughout 2012, and while housing starts remain well below long-term historical levels, the decline in annualized housing starts appears to have leveled off since 2008 with modest levels of improvement recognized in 2011 and into 2012. Through September 2012, based on the most recent data provided by the United States Census Bureau, total housing starts are running approximately 27% above 2011 levels.

In reaction to the housing downturn, the Company began restructuring its operations in the second quarter of 2006. Since then, the Company has closed, consolidated or sold 20 distribution centers. Additionally, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 1,200, with less than 1,000 employees at September 30, 2012. We continue to review our operating expenses and implement cost savings actions. We believe that through our aggressive restructuring and ongoing cost control activities, we are able to mitigate the impact of the severe downturn in the housing market while providing a more scalable cost structure to support future growth opportunities.

Various factors historically have caused our results of operations to fluctuate from period to period. These factors include levels of construction, home improvement and remodeling activity, weather, prices of commodity wood and steel products, interest rates, competitive pressures, availability of credit and other local, regional, and national economic conditions. Many of these factors are cyclical or seasonal in nature. We anticipate that further fluctuations in operating results from period to period will continue in the future. Our first quarter and fourth quarter are generally adversely affected by winter weather patterns in the Midwest, Northeast and Northwest, which typically result in seasonal decreases in levels of construction activity in these areas. Because much of our overhead and expenses remain relatively fixed throughout the year, our operating profits tend to be lower during the first and fourth quarters.

We believe we have the product offerings, distribution channel, personnel, systems infrastructure and financial and competitive resources necessary for continued operations. Our future revenues, costs and profitability, however, are all likely to be influenced by a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under “Cautionary Statement” below.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make estimates and assumptions. Management bases these estimates and assumptions on historical results and known trends as well as management forecasts. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 in Part II, Item 7 - “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies.” There were no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

Net sales were $141.0 million in 2012, which is $5.5 million, or approximately 4.1% higher than in 2011. The increase is due to higher levels of construction activity partially mitigated by lower volume in other areas of our business, such as storm driven roofing sales, which are not directly tied to construction activity.

Sales increased in both the millwork and wood product categories, but declined in the building products category in 2012 from 2011. Millwork sales increased approximately 9% in 2012 to $64.4 million. Building product sales decreased approximately 1% in 2012 to $61.6 million principally due to a decline in storm driven roofing sales. Wood products sales increased approximately 7% to $15.0 million in 2012.

Gross margin increased approximately 10% to $27.5 million, or 19.5% of sales, in 2012 as compared to $25.0 million, or 18.5% of sales, in 2011. The increase in gross margin percentage is partially due to sales mix. In addition, we have placed a strong emphasis on margin improvement though the competitive environment remains very strong.

11

Operating expenses increased $0.1 million to $25.5 million, or 18.1% of sales, in 2012, compared to $25.4 million, or 18.7% of sales, in 2011. Higher sales volume provided greater leverage against our fixed costs, while increased variable expenses were generally offset by reductions in certain personnel costs and other general expenses resulting from continued cost control efforts.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a gain of $2.4 million from the sale of certain real estate from a previously closed facility.

Net interest expense was flat at $0.7 million in 2012 and 2011.

No income tax expense or benefit was recognized in the 2012 or 2011 third quarter. The tax expense or benefit was offset by the change in our valuation allowance in each period.

As a result of the foregoing factors, we recognized income from continuing operations of $3.7 million in 2012 as compared to a loss of $1.4 million in 2011.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Net sales were $395.1 million in 2012, which is $29.5 million, or approximately 8.1% higher than in 2011. The increase is due to higher levels of construction activity.

Sales increased in each product category in 2012 from 2011. Millwork sales increased approximately 11% in 2012 to $179.7 million. Building product sales increased approximately 6% in 2012 to $171.2 million. Wood products sales increased approximately 6% to $44.2 million in 2012.

Gross margin increased approximately 14% to $75.9 million, or 19.2% of sales, in 2012 as compared to $66.7 million, or 18.2% of sales, in 2011. The increase in gross margin percentage is partially due to sales mix. In addition, we have placed a strong emphasis on margin improvement though the competitive environment remains very strong.

Operating expenses decreased $0.8 million to $73.5 million, or 18.6% of sales, in 2012, compared to $74.3 million, or 20.3% of sales, in 2011. Higher sales volume provided greater leverage against our fixed costs while increased variable expenses were generally offset by reductions in certain personnel costs and other general expenses resulting from continued cost control efforts.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized gain of $2.4 million from the sale of certain real estate from a previously closed facility.

Net interest expense was $2.2 million in 2012, compared to $2.0 million in 2011, generally due to higher debt levels through the first two quarters coupled with higher interest rates in 2012.

No income tax expense or benefit was recognized in the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 and 2011. The tax expense or benefit was offset by the change in our valuation allowance in each period.

As a result of the foregoing factors, we incurred income from continuing operations of $2.6 million in 2012 as compared to a loss of $9.9 million in 2011.

Discontinued Operations

We recorded a $0.3 million after tax loss from discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2012 compared to a $0.4 million after tax loss in the first nine months of 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We depend on cash flow from operations and funds available under our revolving credit facility to finance our operations, including seasonal working capital needs, capital expenditures and any acquisitions that we may undertake. Our working capital requirements are generally greatest in the second and third quarters, which reflect the seasonal nature of our business. The second and third quarters are also typically our strongest operating quarters, largely due to more favorable weather throughout many of our markets compared to the first and fourth quarters. We typically generate cash from working capital reductions in the fourth

12

quarter of the year and build working capital during the first quarter in preparation for our second and third quarters. We also maintain significant inventories to meet the rapid delivery requirements of our customers and to enable us to obtain favorable pricing, delivery and service terms with our suppliers. Accounts receivable also typically increase during peak periods commensurate with the sales increase. At September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, inventories and accounts receivable constituted approximately 75%, 67% and 72% of our total assets, respectively. We also closely monitor operating expenses and inventory levels during seasonally affected periods and, to the extent possible, manage variable operating costs to minimize seasonal effects on our profitability.

Operations. Cash used in operating activities decreased by $8.9 million to $11.4 million in the first nine months of 2012, compared to a usage of $20.3 million in the first nine months of 2011. In 2012, our net income of $2.3 million was an improvement of $12.6 million over the loss of $10.3 million in 2011. Accounts receivable increased by $18.1 million during both 2012 and 2011. The increase in accounts receivable is commensurate with the seasonality of our sales. Days sales outstanding was 37.2 days at both September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 based on annualized third quarter sales and quarter end accounts receivable balances for the respective periods. Inventory increased by $11.7 million in 2012 compared to an increase of $7.7 million in 2011. The increase in inventories represents normal seasonal build with a larger increase in 2012 due to higher sales volume. Our inventory turns were 7.8 turns in both 2012 and 2011 based on annualized third quarter costs of goods sold and average inventory balances for the respective quarters. Accounts payable increased by $12.4 million during 2012, compared to an $12.1 million increase in the year ago period. The increase is primarily a result of our seasonal inventory build. Days payable outstanding increased to 32.7 days at September 30, 2012 from 31.5 days at September 30, 2011 based on annualized third quarter costs of goods sold and quarter end accounts payable balances for the respective periods.

Investing. In 2012, net cash provided by investing activities was $1.8 million which compares to net cash used in investing activities of $1.8 million in 2011. In 2012, the Company received net proceeds of $3.3 million from the sale of certain real estate from a previously closed facility. The Company invested $1.5 million in machinery and equipment at various locations in 2012. In 2011, the Company invested $1.0 million in a new facility and invested $0.8 million in machinery and equipment at various locations.

Financing. Cash provided from financing activities of $9.9 million in 2012 and $23.5 million in 2011 reflects net borrowings from our credit facility in each period.

Credit Agreement. We have a $120.0 million asset based senior secured revolving credit facility (“credit facility”). Borrowing availability under the credit facility is based on eligible accounts receivable, inventory and real estate. The real estate component of the borrowing base amortizes monthly over ten years on a straight-line basis. Borrowings under the credit facility are collateralized by substantially all of our assets and are subject to certain operating limitations applicable to a loan of this type, which, among other things, place limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets, cash dividends and transactions with affiliates. The entire unpaid balance under the credit facility is due and payable on September 3, 2014, the maturity date of the credit facility.

At September 30, 2012, under the credit facility, we had revolving credit borrowings of $62.4 million outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 3.04%, letters of credit outstanding totaling $4.9 million, primarily for liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and $36.2 million of additional committed borrowing capacity. We pay an unused commitment fee in the range of 0.30% to 0.375% per annum. In addition, we had $0.1 million of capital lease and other obligations outstanding at September 30, 2012.

The sole financial covenant in the credit facility is the fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) that must be tested by us if the excess borrowing availability falls below a range of $10.0 million to $15.0 million depending on our borrowing base and must also be tested on a pro forma basis prior to consummation of certain significant business transactions outside our ordinary course of business, as defined in the credit agreement governing the credit facility. The minimum FCCR is 1.25:1.00. At September 30, 2012, the FCCR testing threshold was $12.3 million, compared to $36.2 million of excess availability. In addition to the sole financial covenant, the credit facility gives the lenders the right to dominion of our bank accounts should excess borrowing availability fall below an amount equal to $5.0 million over the FCCR testing threshold or $17.3 million at September 30, 2012. This right does not change our ability to borrow on the credit facility in any manner nor does it make the underlying debt callable by the lender; however, under ASC 470, Debt, if the excess availability were to fall below the dominion threshold, we would be required to reclassify long-term debt to current debt on our balance sheet.

We believe that cash generated from our operations and funds available under the credit facility will provide sufficient funds to meet the operating needs of the business for at least the next twelve months. In the first nine months of 2012, the minimum

13

FCCR was not required to be tested as excess borrowing availability was greater than the minimum threshold. However, if availability would have fallen below that threshold, we would not have met the minimum FCCR. If we are unable to maintain excess borrowing availability of more than the applicable amount in the range of $10.0 million to $15.0 million and were also unable to comply with this financial covenant, our lenders would have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the loan commitments and accelerate the repayment of the entire amount outstanding under the credit facility. The lenders could also foreclose on our assets that secure the credit facility. In that event, we would be forced to seek alternative sources of financing, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In addition to funds available from operating cash flows and the credit facility as described above, we use operating leases as a principal off-balance sheet financing technique. Operating leases are employed as an alternative to purchasing certain property, plant and equipment. For a discussion of our off-balance sheet arrangements, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 in Part II, Item 7 - “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Commitments and Contingencies.” There were no material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Contingencies

We carry insurance policies on insurable risks with coverage and other terms that we believe to be appropriate. We generally have self-insured retention limits and have obtained fully insured layers of coverage above such self-insured retention limits. Accruals for self-insurance losses are made based on claims experience. Liabilities for existing and unreported claims are accrued for when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and can be reasonably estimated.

In 1995, we were identified as a potentially responsible party in connection with the clean up of contamination at a formerly owned property in Montana that was used for the manufacture of wood windows. We are voluntarily remediating this property under the oversight of and in cooperation with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (“Montana DEQ”) and are complying with a 1995 unilateral administrative order of the Montana DEQ to complete a remedial investigation and feasibility study. The remedial investigation was completed and approved in 1998 by the Montana DEQ, which has issued its final risk assessment of this property. In March 2003, the Montana DEQ approved Huttig’s work plan for conducting a feasibility study to evaluate alternatives for cleanup. In July 2004, we submitted the feasibility study report, which evaluated several potential remedies, including continuation and enhancement of remedial measures already in place and operating. Huttig also submitted plans for testing a newer technology that could effectively remediate the site. The Montana DEQ approved these plans and a pilot test of the remediation technology was completed in July 2007. In conjunction with the Montana DEQ, we are performing additional testing at the site. After evaluating the results of the additional testing, the Montana DEQ will provide additional comments on the feasibility study report and its recommended remedy, and then will select a final remedy, publish a record of decision and negotiate with us for an administrative order of consent on the implementation of the final remedy. Further, additional testing may be performed from time to time by the Montana DEQ. We spent less than $0.4 million on remediation costs at this site in each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The annual level of future remediation expenditures is difficult to estimate because of the uncertainty relating to the final remedy to be selected by the Montana DEQ. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has accrued $0.7 million in “Other non-current liabilities” for future costs of remediating this site, which management believes represents a reasonable estimate, based on current facts and circumstances, of the currently expected costs of remediation. Until the Montana DEQ selects a final remedy, however, management cannot estimate the top of the range of loss or cost to Huttig of the final remediation order.

In addition, some of our current and former distribution centers are located in areas of current or former industrial activity where environmental contamination may have occurred, and for which we, among others, could be held responsible. We currently believe that there are no material environmental liabilities at any of our distribution center locations.

We accrue expenses for contingencies when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and management can reasonably estimate the expense. Contingencies for which we have made accruals include environmental, product liability and other legal matters. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarter or annual period and our financial condition could be materially affected by changes in assumptions or other circumstances related to these matters.
