NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Temtex Industries, Inc. (the
Company) and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the nine month period ended May 31, 2001 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending August 31, 2001.  For further information, refer to
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended August
31, 2000.

NOTE B--INCOME TAXES

For the nine month period ended May 31, 2001, no state and federal
income tax benefit has been recorded as the Company has recorded a
valuation allowance to fully reserve the net operating loss
carryforwards since the realization of these assets is uncertain.

The Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $11,500,000 expiring in the years 2002 through 2015.
In addition, the Company  has a federal net operating loss
carryforward of approximately $3,100,000 which begins to expire in
the year 2021.

At May 31, 2000, the Company changed its estimate from a net income
to a net loss position for fiscal year 2000.  The Company recorded a
$959,000 (($0.28) per share) provision for income taxes for the
quarter ended May 31, 2000 to reverse the income tax benefits
recorded on operating losses during the first six months of fiscal
year 2000.

NOTE C--INCOME PER (LOSS) COMMON SHARE

Basic income (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each
period.  Diluted income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and common stock
equivalents outstanding during each period unless the effect of the
common stock equivalents would be antidilutive.  Common stock
equivalents include options granted to key employees and outside
directors.  The number of common stock equivalents was based on the
number of shares issuable on the exercise of options reduced by the
number of shares that are assumed to have been purchased at the
average price of common stock during each quarter with the proceeds
from the exercise of the options.

NOTE E--NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT/LIQUIDITY

 In September 2000, the Company entered into a three-year credit
agreement with Frost Capital Group whereby the Company may borrow a
maximum of $4,000,000 under a revolving credit facility.  The amount
available under the facility is subject to limitations based on
specified percentages of the Company's eligible outstanding accounts
receivable and inventory.  The outstanding principal is due on
demand and bears interest at an annual rate of 1.25% above the
specified bank's prime commercial interest rate.  Interest is
payable monthly and is added to the outstanding loan balance.  The
credit agreement does not require the maintenance of any financial
ratios.  At May 31, 2001 there was approximately $2,441,000
outstanding under the credit facility, which was the maximum credit
available on that day.

NOTE F--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Due to the complexity of the Company's operations, disagreements
occasionally occur.

In the opinion of management, the Company's ultimate loss from such
disagreements and potential resulting legal action, if any, will not
be significant.

NOTE G--FOREIGN OPERATIONS

At May 31, 2001 net assets of approximately $1,174,000 were located
at the Company's manufacturing facility in Mexico.

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


The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction
with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and
related notes of the Company included elsewhere in this report.  This
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations and other parts of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties.  Among the risks and uncertainties to which the
Company is subject are the risks inherent in the cyclical and
unpredictable nature of the housing and home products business
generally, fluctuations in interest rates, geographic concentration
of the Company's primary market, the fact that the Company has
experienced fluctuations in revenues and operating results, and the
highly competitive nature of the industries in which the Company
competes, together with each of those other factors set forth in the
Company's filings made with the Securities & Exchange Commission.  As
a result, the actual results realized by the Company could differ
materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements made herein.  Words or phrases such as "will,"
"anticipate," "expect," "believe," "intend," "estimate," "project,"
"plan" or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-
looking statements.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q.

Net Sales

Net sales of fireplace products were approximately the same in the
third quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the third quarter of fiscal
2000.  Between the comparative quarters, the increase (less than 1%)
in the quantity of units shipped was offset by a decrease (also less
than 1%) in the average selling price of the units.  Between the
comparative nine month periods, net sales decreased approximately 14%
or $2,300,000 in fiscal 2001.  The decrease in net sales was due to
suppressed selling prices and the decrease in quantities delivered in
fiscal 2001.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased from $150,000 in the third quarter of fiscal
2000 to $160,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.  Between the
comparative nine month periods, gross profit decreased from
$1,507,000 in fiscal 2000 to $836,000 in fiscal 2001.  The decrease
in gross profit in the nine month comparison period resulted from the
reduced level of sales, which did not allow for full recovery of
overhead costs.

                                  8
<PAGE>

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately
$62,000 or 3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the
third quarter of fiscal 2000.  Between the comparative nine month
periods, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
approximately $1,078,000 or 19%.  Reductions were recorded in
salaries, wages, selling commissions and related payroll expanses in
fiscal 2001 in both the third quarter as well as the nine month
comparison periods.  These reductions resulted primarily from the
plan initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 to relocate the
majority of manufacturing from the California facility to Tennessee
and Mexico along with personnel reductions in California and the
Corporate office.

Interest Expense

Net interest expense increased $30,000 between the comparative
quarters and $140,000 between the nine month periods.  The increase
was primarily attributable to an increase in the average indebtedness
in fiscal 2001 resulting from borrowings under the new line of
credit.

Income Taxes

The Company has not recorded a benefit for income taxes on its
operating loss in fiscal 2001 due to the Company recording a
valuation allowance to fully reserve the entire amount until such
time that reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that
the benefits will be realized.  In the third quarter of fiscal 2000
the Company reversed the amount of benefits that it had previously
recorded for federal income taxes.  This resulted in a federal income
tax expense of $959,000 in the third quarter and neither an expense
nor benefit at the end of the nine month period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used by operating activities was $2,908,000 for the first
nine months of fiscal 2001 compared to $1,277,000 for the first nine
months of 2000.  The decreased cash flow from operations in the first
nine months of fiscal 2001 was primarily due to the operating loss
and the decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Working capital decreased $3,584,000 in the first nine months of
fiscal 2001 due mainly to the loss from operations which resulted in
the need for the Company to borrow under its credit agreement.

Capital expenditures and capitalized lease obligations for the first
nine months of 2001 were $283,000.  Expenditures include amounts for
tooling, dies, replacement items and major repairs to manufacturing
equipment.

In September 2000, the Company entered into a three-year credit
agreement with Frost Capital Group whereby the Company may borrow a
maximum of $4,000,000 under a revolving credit facility.  The amount
available under the facility is subject to limitations based on
specified percentages of the Company's eligible outstanding accounts
receivable and inventory.  The outstanding principal is due on demand
and bears interest at an annual rate of 1.25% above the specified
bank's prime commercial interest rate and is secured by the assets of
the Company and its subsidiary, Temco Fireplace Products, Inc.
Interest is payable monthly and is added to the outstanding loan
balance.  The credit agreement does not require the maintenance of
any financial ratios.

At May 31, 2001, there was approximately $2,441,000 outstanding under
the credit facility which was the maximum credit available on that
day.  The borrowing since May 31, 2001 has fluctuated below and above
the amount outstanding at May 31, 2001 based on the eligible assets
and has ranged from $2,317,000 to $2,950,000 from May 31, 2001
through July 13, 2001.

Management believes that sufficient resources will be available to
meet the Company's cash requirements near term with substantial
reliance upon the Company's credit facility.  Longer-term cash
requirements are dependent on the Company's ability to increase
sales, and to manage working capital requirements, and there can be
no assurance that the Company's projected cash resources will be
sufficient to fund the Company's future cash requirements beyond the
near term.  The Company has experienced declining sales and
continuing significant operating losses.  Should this trend continue,
it will be necessary to secure additional financing to continue
operations.  There can be no assurance that any additional financing
will be available.  Accordingly, to remain viable, the Company must
increase revenues and/or raise additional capital, notwithstanding
the liquidity provided by the Company's revolving credit facility.
Thus, the Company may need to raise additional funds through the
issuance of equity securities, in which case the percentage ownership
of the stockholders of the company either will be reduced, or such
equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior
to common stock.  Further, there can be no assurance that additional
financing will be available when needed.

Other

On April 25, 2001 the Company's common stock was delisted from the
NASDAQ SmallCap Market for failure to maintain a minimum bid price of
$1.00 over a thirty-consecutive day trading period.  Beginning April
25, 2001, the Company's stock is trading via the OTC Bulletin Board
(R) (OTCBB).
