Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K/A is filed by Q.E.P., Co., Inc. (the Company) to amend the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2006, filed on June 13, 2006 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) to restate the Companys consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended February 28 or 29, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The Company has also restated and provided additional
disclosures for its unaudited quarterly financial data for certain interim periods of fiscal 2006 and 2005 as included in Note S of the consolidated financial statements. The Company has also restated operating and balance sheet data for fiscal
years 2003 and 2002 as presented in the Selected Financial Data. As previously disclosed, in connection with a subordinated loan agreement previously outstanding between the Company and a lender, in April 2001, the Company issued 325,000 10-year
warrants (the put warrants) at an exercise price of $3.63 per share. The put warrants continue to remain outstanding and since April 5, 2006 can be put to the Company at any time. The Company has historically estimated
the value of the put warrant liability using methods and valuation techniques required by the put warrant agreement and in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. The Company reconsidered the methodology used after discussions with the SEC and determined to account for the put warrant liability at any reporting date by calculating the difference between the
Companys closing stock price on the reporting date and the exercise price multiplied by the 325,000 warrants granted (marking the warrants to market). The Company believes this methodology provides an appropriate estimate of entity
value. Changes to the fair value of the put warrants are recognized in the earnings of the Company

The Company has also reconsidered the economic
characteristics of operations in its geographic regions and has included segment disclosure in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 Disclosures About Segment of an Enterprise and Related Information in this
amended report.

PART I

Item 1. Business

General

Founded in 1979, Q.E.P. Co., Inc. (the Company or Q.E.P.) manufactures, markets and distributes a broad line of specialty tools and flooring related products for the home improvement market in
the United States of America and throughout the world. Under brand names including Q.E.P.®, ROBERTS®,
Capitol®, QSet, Vitrex® and Elastiment, the Company markets over 3,000 specialty tools and flooring related products used primarily for surface preparation and installation of ceramic tile,
carpet, vinyl and wood flooring. Q.E.P.s products include trowels, floats, tile cutters, wet saws, spacers, nippers, pliers, carpet trimmers and cutters, flooring adhesives, seaming tape, tack strips, knives, dry set powders and grouts. These
products are sold to home improvement retailers, including national and regional chains such as Home Depot and Lowes, international chain stores such as Bunnings, Wickes and Topps Tiles, specialty distributors to the hardware, construction,
flooring and home improvement trades and chain or independent hardware, tile, and carpet retailers for use by the do-it-yourself consumers as well as the construction or remodeling professional.

The Companys principal subsidiaries include Roberts Consolidated Industries, Inc., a worldwide leader in the carpet installation market; Roberts Capitol, Inc., a
manufacturer of adhesives in Dalton, Georgia; Q.E.P. Stone Holdings, which manufactures dry set powders and grouts in Georgia and Florida; OTool Company, a distributor to the trowel trades; Boiardi Products Corp. of Little Falls, N.J., a
manufacturer of a full line of thin-set mortars, grouts, self-leveling concrete toppings and crack-suppressing waterproof membranes used in the flooring industry; Roberts Holland B.V., a European distributor of flooring installation products in
Holland and France; PRCI S.A., a distributor of ceramic tile tools to the retail and distribution marketplace in France; Q.E.P. Co. U.K., Ltd., Roberts U.K., Ltd. and Q.E.P. Roberts Ireland, Ltd. manufacturers and distributors of accessory flooring
and safety products in the United Kingdom and

##### Table of Contents

Ireland; Q.E.P. Australia Pty, Ltd., one of the largest distributors of tools and installation products for all types of flooring in the Australian
marketplace; Q.E.P. New Zealand, a distributor of accessory flooring supplies; Roberts Mexicana S.A. de C.V., a manufacturer and distributor of flooring installation products in Mexico; Q.E.P. Chile, a distributor of ceramic tile accessories located
in Santiago, Chile; and Zocalis, SRL, an Argentinean manufacturer of ceramic borders and trim.

The Company operates in five business segments: domestic,
Canada, Europe, Australia/New Zealand and Other. Management has chosen to organize the segments into geographic areas, with each segment being the responsibility of a segment manager, except for the Canadian segment. Each segment markets and sells
flooring-related products to the residential, new construction, do-it-yourself and professional remodeling and renovation markets and home centers. The European segment is made up of our operations in the UK, France, Holland and Germany. The Other
segment is made up of operations in Latin America and other geographic areas.

Market Overview

The Company is a supplier of specialty flooring installation products and sells to the home improvement market. According to the industry information published by
Floor Covering Weekly, a trade publication, total floor covering sales for the United States rose 9% in 2004 to approximately $54.9 billion while home center sales, with lumberyards similar to Home Depot and Lowes, were
approximately $9.4 billion. The Company believes that this growth is being driven by several factors, including (i) a slowing but continued strong housing activity, (ii) aging of the United States housing stock which requires greater
repair and maintenance expenditures, (iii) increased housing turnover of both new and existing homes, (iv) continued home improvement demand being facilitated by the current level of sales of new and existing homes, (v) appreciation
of the United States housing market thus giving homeowners the ability to increase the investment in their homes through improvement projects, and (vi) changes in consumer preferences, which have caused an increase in the median size of new
homes and which have contributed to demand for remodeling and expansion of older homes. Home improvement market distribution channels continue to consolidate as a result of the success of the warehouse home center format. The continued dominance of
national home improvement retailers results from their ability to offer broad product lines, project advice and orientation, competitive pricing, aggressive promotions, and multiple location, large-format stores. The Companys two largest
customers, Home Depot and Lowes, accounted for over approximately $124 billion of home center sales in fiscal 2006. Based on data available to the Company, the Company believes that the primary beneficiaries of this consolidation among
worldwide home improvement retailers have been the top two or three companies (ranked by annual sales volume). Thus, while the home improvement markets retail sales have expanded, the market is being increasingly dominated by the largest
retailers.

The Companys two largest customers, Home Depot and Lowes, experienced annual sales growth rates in fiscal 2006 of 12% and 19%,
respectively, according to their published financial reports and both have plans to continue increasing the number of stores each operates. As consolidation continues among home improvement retailers, the Company expects that sales of the largest
national and regional home improvement retailers will continue to increase at greater rates than the rate of sales growth in the overall market. The Company expects that the growth trends in the flooring segment of the home improvement market and
among its customer base will directly affect the Companys ability to generate growth in its sales and net income, its expansion strategy and the nature of its sales and marketing initiatives.

Business Strategy

The Companys strategy is to continue to
enhance its position as a worldwide leading manufacturer and distributor of specialty tools and related products by introducing new products and cross-selling products among its channels of distribution, expanding market share by obtaining new
customers, and capitalizing on expected growth of its largest customers and of the home improvement market as a whole. Key elements of the Companys strategy include:



2



---

##### Table of Contents

Increase Sales By Expanding Product Lines and Adding New Customers. The Company seeks to expand its product lines
by introducing new and innovative products which can be marketed to the Companys existing customer base. Through its acquisitions, the Company has expanded the number of products available and its line of flooring installation products. In
addition to expanding product offerings through acquisitions, the Company internally develops and offers products in response to customer demands. The Company believes that broadening its product lines will make it a more attractive supplier to the
major home improvement retailers and specialty distributors, thereby increasing the Companys sales and market penetration. Additionally, the Company is targeting mass merchandisers as prospective customers for a portion of its current product
line.

Capitalize on Cross-Selling Opportunities.The Company believes that there are significant opportunities for cross selling its
products among its existing markets and channels of distribution. The Company has sought to identify acquisition candidates with complementary product lines and to cross sell acquired product lines to its existing customer base and its
existing product lines to the customers of the acquired business.

Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. The Company has broadened its product lines,
increased its customer base and increased its manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities through acquisitions. The Company expects to continue to evaluate acquisitions of both domestic and worldwide specialty tool and adhesive
manufacturers, distributors and other companies whose products, distribution channels and brand names are complementary to those of the Company and which could offer further opportunities for product cross selling, expansion of manufacturing and
marketing operations and the addition of new customers.

Enhance Distribution and Manufacturing Capabilities. In order to effectively serve
the customer base and help to restrain cost increases, the Company seeks to improve its distribution capabilities through the increased use of technology as well as reviewing its facilities for correct size and geographic location. In fiscal 2006,
after the acquisition of new adhesives manufacturing capacity at a facility in Dalton, Georgia, the Company closed its Boca Raton, Florida office and warehouse facility and moved the warehousing and distribution operations to Dalton, Georgia and
relocated the corporate offices within Boca Raton, Florida to a smaller facility. In addition, the Company has moved other functions to the Dalton location and is considering consolidating other operations where appropriate. The Company currently
has distribution and manufacturing capability located throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Mexico, France, Ireland, and Central and South America. The Company restructured its European manufacturing and
distribution function in fiscal 2006 by significantly reducing operations in Holland. The Company estimates that in fiscal 2006, it manufactured approximately 30% of its Q.E.P. and Roberts product lines.

Products

The Company manufactures, markets and distributes a broad
line of over 3,000 specialty tools and flooring related products. The Companys products are offered under brand names including Q.E.P.®, ROBERTS®, Capitol®, QSet, Vitrex® and Elastiment and are used primarily for surface preparation and installation of ceramic tile,
carpet, vinyl and wood flooring and laminate.

The Company manufactures and distributes adhesives, grouts, mortars, dry set powders and an assortment of
carpet installation tools as well as floats, tile cutters, trowels, electric saws, nippers and other products to the flooring industry. These products are sold to distributors, retailers and do-it-yourself customers. Although the Company
manufactures and distributes over 3,000 products, a majority of the Companys sales are to customers who purchase between 20 and 250 individual stock-keeping units. As the Company seeks to broaden its product lines, the competition for limited
shelf space available at home improvement retailers for specialty tools and related products may limit sales of existing or newly introduced products.

The Company maintains a research and development program through which it seeks to identify new



3

##### Table of Contents

product opportunities within its core markets. Methods by which the Company seeks to identify product opportunities include soliciting product feedback from
customers through its outside sales force and manufacturers representatives, review of product brochures and catalogs issued by foreign and domestic competitors of specialty tools, review of product concepts with buyers employed by its
customers, and attendance at industry trade shows and conventions at which new product concepts are introduced and discussed. The Company also considers participation in joint ventures and evaluation of product samples to be an important part of its
effort to identify new product opportunities. The Company maintains a product quality control program primarily to verify the quality of its existing products and to develop ideas for additional products or enhancements to existing products.

Relationship with Major Customers

In 1982, the
Company began selling products to Home Depot, which is currently the largest home improvement retailer in the world, third largest retailer globally and the second largest retailer in the United States based on annual sales volume. In 1993, the
Company added Lowes as a customer, which is now the second largest home improvement retailer in the world and eighth largest retailer in the United States. Home Depot and Lowes are the Companys two largest customers accounting for
44% and 11% of the Companys fiscal 2006 sales, respectively.

Because of the importance of home improvement retailers to its business, the Company
has worked with these major customers to supplement their customer service programs to ensure that the specific needs of the end-user are given a high priority. Features of the Companys customer service programs for its major customers include
providing a wide range of in-store services, such as, assistance with inventory, maintenance of product displays, introduction of new products, maintaining inventories of tools and related products in multiple locations to permit rapid shipping,
delivering orders promptly, holding education classes for retail store personnel, packaging with multilingual labels, prepaying delivery for product shipments with minimum purchase requirements, participating in cooperative promotions and special
sales events, providing product research for buyers, operating a customer service hotline, providing parts and repair service, extension of advertising allowances, accepting orders electronically and billing through electronic data interchange, bar
coding for each individual stock-keeping unit, and incorporating anti-theft tags in packaging. The Company believes that its major customers place considerable value on service and promotional support and frequently evaluates its service and
promotional activities in an effort to serve its customers more effectively.

The Company believes that the consolidation among home improvement retailers
will continue and that the national and large regional home improvement retailers will continue to increase their market share in the near future. Home Depot and Lowes have plans to increase significantly the number of stores each operates
over the next several years. As a result, the Company expects the percentage of its sales to these customers to continue to be significant.

The loss of,
or any significant reduction in business with, Home Depot or Lowes as a customer of the Company would have a material adverse effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Company.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

The Company estimates that in fiscal
2006 it manufactured approximately 30% of its Q.E.P. and Roberts product lines. The Company manufactures adhesives, carpet installation tools and ceramic tile spacers at its main manufacturing facility in Mexico, Missouri. Flooring
adhesives are produced at the Companys facilities in Bramalea, Ontario, Canada; Mexico City, Mexico; and Dalton, Georgia. Grouts and related products are manufactured at the Companys Little Falls, New Jersey; Dalton, Georgia; Bramalea,
Ontario, Canada and Ft. Pierce, Florida facilities, and laminate flooring underlayment is manufactured in Naperville, Illinois. In Australia, the Company manufactures accessories used for the installation of ceramic tile. Ceramic trim is
manufactured in Argentina. Tile cutters, safety products and ceramic tile spacers are manufactured in the United Kingdom.

##### Table of Contents

The Company purchased finished products and components from approximately 250 different suppliers in fiscal 2006.
Although the Company believes that multiple sources of supply exist for nearly all of the products and components purchased from outside suppliers and generally maintains at least two sources of supply for each item purchased, interruptions in
supply or price changes in the items purchased by the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations. The Company receives product from its suppliers into its four main North American warehouses located in Mexico,
Missouri; Henderson, Nevada; Dalton, Georgia; and Bramalea, Ontario, Canada. Disruption in supply to any of these warehouses may result in excessive inventory levels and added costs to the Company. Further, in fiscal 2006, the Company purchased in
excess of $14.4 million and $6.2 million of finished product from two foreign suppliers representing 22% and 9%, respectively of domestic product purchases.

Distribution, Sales and Marketing

The Companys specialty tools and related products are currently sold through four distinct
distribution channels: (i) the Companys sales staff; (ii) independent manufacturing representatives; (iii) an in-house telemarketing sales force; and (iv) outside salaried and commissioned sales representatives. Management
estimates that gross sales through its primary distribution channels in fiscal 2006 were as follows: 59% to national and regional home improvement retailers and 41% to specialty distributors, other specialty retailers and original equipment
manufacturers.

The Company maintains an in-house creative services department through which it produces and develops color product catalogs, signage,
point of purchase materials and distinctive packaging to enhance sales per square foot at the retail level and to reinforce the Companys brand images. The Company maintains a website which allows customers to obtain product information,
catalogues and order replacement parts. The Company also informs customers of product promotions through direct contact via regular mail, e-mail or fax.

The Companys marketing and sales representatives, or its manufacturers representatives, conduct regular visits to many customers individual retail stores. In addition, the Company or its sales representatives provide
product knowledge classes for retail store personnel. The Company also evaluates the product mix at its customers locations from time to time with a view toward evolving the product mix to increase sales per square foot. When the Company
secures a new customer, or introduces new product into existing customer stores, the Company generally resets all displays and assists store personnel in becoming familiar with the Companys product line.

Competition

The Company believes that competition in the home
improvement flooring product market is based primarily on product quality, delivery capabilities, brand name recognition, availability of retail shelf space and price. The Company believes that its competitive strengths are its product quality, its
wide range of products, delivery capabilities, brand recognition and strong customer relationships. The Company faces competition largely on a product-by-product basis from numerous manufacturing and distribution companies. The Company believes that
the diversity of its product portfolio, among other things, allows it to compete effectively, although some competitors may sell larger quantities of a particular product than the Company.

The Company is aware of a number of competitors, many of which are foreign and may have greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company. The
Companys foreign sales, excluding Canada, accounted for approximately 21% of net sales during fiscal year 2006. Fiscal 2006 net sales generated by the Companys European subsidiaries were approximately 10%, its Australian/New Zealand
subsidiaries approximately 10% and its Latin American subsidiaries was approximately 1%. The Company is continuing to penetrate more markets within the countries it currently serves and, as a result, the Company may experience competition from
foreign companies, which could adversely affect the Companys gross margins on its foreign sales.

---

##### Table of Contents

Certain of the Companys larger customers have in the past contacted one or more of the Companys foreign
suppliers to discuss purchasing home improvement products directly from these suppliers. Although the Company believes that its diversified product line, brand recognition and customer service will continue to offer benefits not otherwise available
to the Companys customers from foreign manufacturers, the Company could experience competition from one or more foreign manufacturers which now serve as suppliers to the Company. If one or more of the Companys larger customers were to
begin purchasing products previously supplied by the Company directly from foreign manufacturers, the Companys business would be adversely affected. Increased competition from these manufacturers or others could result in lower sales, price
reductions or loss of market share, each of which would have an adverse effect on the Companys results of operations.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances governing activities or operations that may have adverse
environmental effects, such as discharges to air and water, handling and disposal practices for solid, special and hazardous wastes, and imposing liability for the cost of clean up, and for certain damages resulting from sites of past spills,
disposal or other releases of hazardous substances (together, Environmental Laws). Sanctions which may be imposed for violation of Environmental Laws include the payment or reimbursement of investigative and clean up costs,
administrative penalties and, in certain cases, prosecution under environmental criminal statutes. The Companys manufacturing facilities are subject to environmental regulation by, among other agencies, the Environmental Protection Agency, the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and various state authorities in the states where such facilities are located. The activities of the Company, including its manufacturing operations at its leased facilities, are subject to the
requirements of Environmental Laws. The Company believes that the cost of compliance with Environmental Laws to date has not been material to the Company. The Company is not currently aware of any situations requiring remedial or other action which
would involve a material expense to the Company, or expose the Company to material liability under Environmental Laws. As the operations of the Company involve the storage, handling, discharge and disposal of substances which are subject to
regulation under Environmental Laws, there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur any material liability under Environmental Laws in the future or will not be required to expend funds in order to effect compliance with applicable
Environmental Laws.

The Company completed testing at its facility in Bramalea, Ontario, Canada for leakage of hazardous materials and, as a result, in
fiscal 1999 the Company prepared a plan to remediate the contamination over a period of years and this plan was subsequently approved by the Canadian Ministry of Environment. The Company recorded a reserve for potential environmental liability on
the closing date of the Roberts Consolidated Industries, Inc. acquisition of approximately $0.3 million and this amount was subsequently increased by $0.5 million to $0.8 million based on an estimate for the cost of remediation. During fiscal 2006,
the Company increased the reserve by an additional $0.1 million. Through fiscal 2006, the Company has spent approximately $0.7 million and anticipates spending less than $0.1 million on ongoing monitoring of wells and other environmental activity
per year for the next few years.

During fiscal 2002, the Company received notice from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the
EPA) that an entity identified as Roberts Consolidated Industries, Inc. may be involved in the contamination of landfill sites in Clark County, Ohio and Santa Barbara County, California. In addition, in April 2003, the record owner of
certain real property in Vancouver, Washington informed the Company that an entity known as Roberts Consolidated Industry, Inc. owned or operated the facility during which time hazardous substances were disposed of or released at the site and
pursuant to Washington State law, it is also liable for remedial action costs at the site. At this time, the Company is not aware whether these entities are predecessors to any of its affiliates or whether they are unrelated entities.

During fiscal 2005, the Company settled a lawsuit that was filed on December 27, 2002 whereby Roberts

##### Table of Contents

Holdings International, Inc. (Roberts Holding), an inactive subsidiary of the Company, was named as a third party defendant in a case before the
United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan titled Strebor Inc. v. International Paper Co., Case No. 1:02 CV0948. The third party plaintiff alleged that Roberts Holding is a successor to a company known as Roberts
Consolidated Industries, Inc. and was required to indemnify previous owners for costs associated with the clean-up of a property in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Company agreed to pay $50,000 per year beginning in October 2004 for five consecutive years
in settlement of this action.

Intellectual Property

The Company markets its specialty tools and related products under various trademarks owned by the Company or its subsidiaries, including Q.E.P.®, ROBERTS®, Capitol®, QSet, Vitrex® and
Elastiment. The Company has devoted substantial
time, effort and expense to the development of brand name recognition and goodwill for products sold under its trademarks, has not received any notice that its use of such marks infringes upon the rights of others, and is not aware of any activities
which would appear to constitute infringement of any of its marks. Roberts Consolidated Industries, Inc. has secured domestic and foreign patents relating to certain of its products. These patents are scheduled to expire in the years 2008 and 2013.
Although the patents are important to the operation of Roberts Consolidated Industries, Inc., the Company does not believe that the loss of any one or more of these patents would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Roberts Consolidated
Industries, Inc. also licenses its name to various foreign distributors and a domestic manufacturer of tackstrip and carpet seaming tape.

Employees

As of May 17, 2006, the Company had 610 employees, including 142 administrative employees, 117 sales and marketing employees, 184
manufacturing employees and 167 employees responsible for shipping activities. Of the 610 total employees, 17 are part-time and 269 are located at the Companys international subsidiaries. The Company has not experienced any work stoppages and
none of the Companys employees are represented by a union. The Company considers its relations with the employees to be good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to certain risks described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company is subject to the following risk factors. While the Company believes its expectations are reasonable, they are not
guarantees of future performance. The Companys results could differ substantially from its expectations if any of the events described in these risks occur.

The Company may be unable to pass on to its customers increases in the costs of raw materials.

The prices of many of the Companys raw
materials vary with market conditions. In addition the price of many of the Companys finished goods is impacted by changes in currency, freight costs and raw materials at the point of production. The Companys costs of raw materials and
fuel-related costs are currently higher than historical averages and may remain so indefinitely due to the historically high price of oil and gas. Although the Company generally attempts to pass on increases in the costs of raw materials and
fuel-related costs to its customers, the Companys ability to pass these increases on varies depending on the product line, rate and magnitude of any increase. There may be periods of time during which increases in these costs cannot be
recovered as occurred in fiscal 2006. During such periods of time, the Companys profitability may be materially adversely affected.

The
Companys largest customers seek to purchase product directly from foreign suppliers.

Certain of the Companys larger customers have in the
past contacted one or more of the Companys foreign suppliers to discuss purchasing home improvement products directly from these suppliers. Although the Company believes that its diversified product line, brand recognition and customer service
will continue to offer benefits not otherwise available to the Companys customers from foreign manufacturers, the Company could experience competition from one or more foreign manufacturers which now serve as suppliers to the Company.

The Company depends on a limited number of customers, and the loss of one or more of these customers could adversely affect our business.

In particular, the Company is substantially dependent on two of its customers, Home Depot and Lowes, for a large percentage of its revenues. The
Company expects that it will continue to rely upon these customers for a significant portion of its revenues. Any significant reduction in business with Home Depot or Lowes as a customer of the Company would have a material adverse effect on
the financial position and results of operations of the Company.

The Company has foreign currency exposures related to buying, selling, and financing
in currencies other than the local currencies in which it operates.

Because a portion of the Companys business is conducted in foreign
currencies, fluctuations in currency prices can have a material impact on its results of operations. As a result of the fluctuations in currency prices, the Company had a total foreign exchange benefit on net revenue of approximately $2.5 million
during the twelve months ended February 28, 2006. Although the Company finances certain foreign operations utilizing debt denominated in the currency of the local operating unit in order to mitigate its foreign currency exposure, the Company
cannot predict the effect foreign currency fluctuations will have on its results of operations in future periods.

The Company estimates that a 10% change
of the U.S. dollar against local currencies would have changed its operating income by approximately $0.2 million in fiscal 2006 and approximately $0.2 million in fiscal 2005. However, this quantitative measure has inherent limitations. The
sensitivity analysis disregards the possibility that rates can move in opposite directions and that changes in currency may or may not be offset by losses from another currency.

The translation of the assets and liabilities of international operations is made using the currency

##### Table of Contents

exchange rates as of the end of the fiscal year. Translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are disclosed as Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income within shareholders equity. In certain markets, the Company could recognize a significant gain or loss related to unrealized cumulative translation adjustments if it were to exit the market and liquidate its net
investment. As of February 28, 2006, the net foreign currency translation adjustments reduced shareholders equity by $3.5 million.

Failure
to identify suitable acquisition candidates, to complete acquisitions and to integrate successfully the acquired operations.

As part of its business
strategy, the Company continues to evaluate acquisitions that could enhance its current product line, manufacturing capabilities and distribution channels either in the United States or around the world. Although the Company regularly evaluates
acquisition opportunities, it may not be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates, obtain sufficient financing on acceptable terms to fund acquisitions, or profitably manage the acquired businesses. In addition, the Company may
not be able to successfully integrate the acquired operations and the acquired operations may not achieve the expected results.

The Company has been,
and in the future may be subject to claims and liabilities under environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, which could be significant.

The
Company is subject to federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances governing activities or operations that may have adverse environmental effects, such as discharges to air and water, and handling and disposal practices for solid,
special and hazardous wastes. The activities of the Company, including its manufacturing operations at its leased facilities, are subject to the requirements of Environmental Laws. The Company has received various notices from state and federal
agencies that it may be responsible for certain environmental remediation activities and is, or has been, a defendant in environmental litigation. Although the Company is not currently aware of any situation requiring remedial or other action that
would involve a material expense to the Company or expose the Company to material liability under Environmental Laws, the Company cannot provide assurance that it will not incur any material liability under Environmental Laws in the future or that
it will not be required to expend funds in order to effect compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company faces intense competition in its industry, which could decrease demand for its products and could have a material adverse effect on its profitability.

The Companys industry is highly competitive. The Company faces competition from a large number of manufacturers and independent distributors. Many of its
competitors are larger and have greater resources and access to capital than the Company. In order to maintain the Companys competitive position, the Company will need to continue to develop new products and expand its customer base both
domestically and internationally. Competitive pressures may also result in decreased demand for the Companys products. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Recent management changes may disrupt the Companys operations, and the Company may not be able to retain key personnel or replace them when they leave.

During the past year, the Company has experienced a number of changes in its management. On April 26, 2005, the Companys controller and
principal accounting officer was relieved of his duties and subsequently terminated. On October 10, 2005, the Company appointed James Brower as the Companys Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer. On December 2, 2005, the
Companys Chief Financial Officer resigned effective January 15, 2006. On July 21, 2006, the Company appointed Stuart F. Fleischer to serve as Chief Financial Officer. These senior management changes could disrupt the Companys
ability to manage its business, and any such disruption could adversely affect the Companys

operations, growth, financial condition and results of operations. The Companys success is also dependent upon its ability to hire and retain qualified
finance and accounting, operations, and other personnel. The Company cannot assure you that it will be able to hire or retain the personnel necessary for its planned operations or that the loss of any such personnel will not have a material impact
on the Companys financial condition and results of operation.

The Companys inability to maintain access to the debt and capital markets may
adversely affect our business and financial results

The Companys ability to invest in its business, refinance maturing debt obligations and make
strategic acquisitions may require access to sufficient bank credit lines and capital markets to support short-term borrowings and cash requirements. If the Companys current level of cash flow is insufficient and it is unable to access
additional resources, the Company could experience a material adverse affect on its business and financial results.

The Company has debt service
obligations which are subject to restrictive covenants that limit the Companys flexibility to manage its business and could trigger an acceleration of the Companys outstanding indebtedness.

The Companys credit facilities require that the Company maintain specific financial ratios and comply with certain covenants, including various financial covenants
that contain numerous restrictions on the Companys ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends or make other restricted payments, sell assets, or take other actions. Furthermore, the Companys existing credit facilities are, and
future financing arrangements are likely to be, secured by substantially all of the Companys assets. If the Company breaches any of these covenants, a default could result under one or more of these agreements. The Company has in the past
violated certain covenants under its credit facilities. A default, if not waived by the Companys lenders, could result in the acceleration of outstanding indebtedness and cause the Companys debt to become immediately due and payable.

The Company and its independent auditors have identified material weaknesses in the Companys internal control over financial reporting and the
Company cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future.

The Company and its independent auditors have
identified material weaknesses in the Companys internal control over financial reporting relating to the Companys procedures for (i) reconciling intercompany balances, and (ii) ensuring proper documentation and review of
consolidating adjusting journal entries. Under current standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood
that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Although the Company has implemented, and continues to implement, various measures to improve internal control over financial reporting,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to remedy the material weaknesses that have been identified or that additional material weaknesses will not be identified by the Company or its independent auditors. Any failure to remediate
the material weaknesses identified by the Company and its independent auditors or to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm the Companys operating results, cause the Company
to fail to meet its reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in the Companys financial statements. Any such failure also could affect the ability of the Companys management to certify that the Companys internal
controls are effective when it provides an assessment of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, when they become applicable to
the Company beginning with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending February 29, 2008, and could affect the results of the Companys independent registered public accounting firms attestation report regarding
managements assessment pursuant to those rules. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in the Companys reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of the
Companys stock. For more discussion, see Controls and Procedures beginning on page 28.

The Company has restated its financial results to reflect a change in the method for valuing the Companys put
warrant liability, the estimated liability of the warrant has historically fluctuated, and the actual settlement amount of the put warrant liability may differ materially from the Companys estimates.

As previously disclosed, on June 16, 2006, the SEC issued a comment letter (the Comment Letter) to the Company regarding the Companys Form 10-K for
the year ended February 28, 2006. In the Comment Letter, the SEC raised questions about several matters contained in the Form 10-K including the amount of the put warrant liability that was recorded in connection with the warrants that were
issued to Hillstreet Fund, L.P. (Hillstreet) with respect to the subordinated loan agreement between the Company and HillStreet, entered into on April 5, 2001 (which was paid in full on May 12, 2003). The Company had issued
325,000 10-year warrants at an exercise price of $3.63 per share. The put warrants continue to remain outstanding and since April 5, 2006, the put feature may be exercised by the Holder at any time or from time to time, based on criteria set
forth in the Warrant Agreement. In the event the put is exercised, the Company is required to pay cash to the Holder of the warrants for the value of the warrants. The Company cannot determine the actual amount of the liability until such time as
the put feature of the warrant is exercised, as the liability is based on the determination of the Companys entity value, which is defined in the Warrant Agreement as the greatest of: (1) the fair market value of the Company established
as of a capital transaction or public offering; or, (2) a formula value based on a multiple of six times trailing twelve month EBITDA; or (3) an appraised value as if the Company was sold as a going concern.

Prior to the Companys fiscal year ended February 28, 2006, the Company had estimated the amount of the liability using a formula based on EBITDA as
contemplated under the Warrant Agreement or an internal appraisal value based on a multiple of projected EBITDA. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006, the Company hired an independent appraiser to perform a comprehensive appraisal which
served as the basis for recording the put warrant liability for such fiscal period. After discussion with the SEC, the Company determined to value the put warrant liability at any reporting date by calculating the difference between the
Companys closing stock price on the last day of the reporting period and the exercise price of $3.63 per share multiplied by the 325,000 warrants granted. The Company believes this methodology provides an appropriate estimate of entity value.
The other methodologies described above may be utilized to value the liability if they yield a higher entity value than the stock price method.

The
Company has restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended February 28 or 29, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The Company has also restated and provided additional disclosures for its unaudited quarterly financial data for
certain interim periods of fiscal 2006 and 2005 as included in Note S of the consolidated financial statements. The Company has also restated operating and balance sheet data for fiscal years 2003 and 2002 as presented in the Selected Financial
Data. At this time, the Company cannot predict what consequences the restatement of the Companys financial results will have on the Company, if any, including the possibility of litigation. The filing of the Companys restated financials
may not resolve the SECs comments on the Companys Form 10-K filing and it is possible that the Company may in the future be required to adopt different accounting for the put warrant liability that could require further restatement of
the Companys financial statements. Any such restatements could be costly and time consuming, and there are no assurances that they would not have a material negative consequence on the Company. Considerable legal and accounting expenses
related to this matter have already been incurred to date and significant expenditures may continue to be incurred in the future. The above and similar matters could divert managements attention from other business concerns and may have a
material impact on the Companys business, results of operations, and financial position. Furthermore, the actual settlement amount of the put warrant liability could differ materially from the value determined by marking the warrants to market
at the end of any particular fiscal period.

Item 2. Properties

The Company operates 33 facilities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, South America, New Zealand and China. Thirteen of these facilities are used in whole or in part for manufacturing operations.
The remainder of the facilities are used for administrative, sales and warehousing functions.

The Company believes that its existing facilities are adequate to meet its current needs and that additional facilities can be leased to meet future needs. During fiscal 2007, the lease for the Mexico, Missouri facility will expire, but the
Company expects to extend the lease and maintain the manufacturing, distribution and administrative capability currently in place. During fiscal 2006, the Dalton, Georgia facility was expanded and certain operations from other facilities were
consolidated into this location in order to gain manufacturing and cost efficiencies, it is expected that other functions will be consolidated into Dalton during fiscal 2007.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in litigation from time to time in the course of its
business. In the opinion of management, no material legal proceedings are pending to which the Company or any of its property is subject.

During fiscal
2002, the Company received notice from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the EPA) that an entity identified as Roberts Consolidated Industries, Inc. may be involved in the contamination of landfill sites in Clark County,
Ohio and Santa Barbara County, California. In addition, in April 2003, the record owner of certain real property in Vancouver, Washington informed the Company that an entity known as Roberts Consolidated Industry, Inc. owned or operated a facility
during which time hazardous substances were disposed of or released at the site and pursuant to Washington State law, it is also liable for remedial action costs at the site. At this time, the Company is not aware whether these entities are
predecessors to any of its affiliates or whether they are unrelated entities (see Environmental Matters).

Item 4. Submission of Matters to Vote
of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders of the Company during the fourth quarter of the period covered by this
report.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Overview

The Company is a worldwide
leader in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of a broad line of specialty tools and flooring related products, marketing over 3,000 specialty tools and related products used primarily for surface preparation and installation of ceramic
tile, carpet, vinyl and wood flooring. The Companys products are sold to home improvement retailers, specialty distributors to the hardware, construction, flooring and home improvement trades, chain or independent hardware, tile and carpet
retailers for use by the do-it-yourself consumer as well as the construction or remodeling professional, and original equipment manufacturers. The Company has executed a growth strategy intended to improve overall performance and profitability of
operations that included acquisitions, the reduction of risk associated with certain large customer concentrations and the enhancement of cross selling of product among the Companys channels of distribution. Although the Company has realized
certain benefits from its growth strategy, the Companys rapid growth and challenges relating to the Companys overseas operations and integration of acquired business has had certain negative effects on the Companys financial
performance.

As described in Note C of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the financial statements for 2004, 2005 and 2006 have been restated to
reflect new methodology used in determining the value of the put warrant liability in each period presented.

The Company experienced a 22% increase in net
sales in fiscal 2006 in comparison to the previous fiscal year, which management attributes primarily to the growth in sales of flooring adhesives products, a portion of which results from the acquisitions made during the period. In addition,
further penetration of the Companys existing product offerings across more home center locations and distribution customers, and sales resulting from acquisitions other than acquired flooring adhesives operations also contributed to the
increase. The Companys gross profit as a percent of revenue fell from 30.9% in fiscal 2005 to 29.2% in fiscal 2006 and was negatively impacted by several factors in fiscal 2006. The Company experienced raw material cost increases throughout
fiscal 2006 primarily for petroleum based raw materials used in adhesives and aluminum and copper used in other flooring tools. In addition, the increase in petroleum products is reflected in the freight cost the Company incurs in distributing its
products. Only a portion of these cost increases were able to be passed on to the Companys customers. In addition, the sales of adhesives products continued to increase as a percent of total sales during fiscal 2006. Adhesives products are
generally lower margin than the flooring tools and other products offered by the Company. As adhesives become a larger portion of total sales, there is a negative effect on gross margin as a percentage of sales. Gross margin was also affected by an
increase in the level of sales and rebates issued to home center customers in fiscal 2006. As a regular practice, customers in the home center distribution channel are issued rebates from each vendor, the magnitude of which depends of the particular
level of business activity. Although increased sales to the Companys home center customers in fiscal 2006 resulted in an increase in gross margin over the fiscal 2005 period, the Company also experienced an increase in the level of rebates
associated with these sales which had a negative impact on gross margin as a percentage of sales.

Net income for the year was $1.0 million, or $0.26 per
diluted share compared with net income of $3.0 million or $0.77 per diluted share in fiscal 2005. The factors affecting gross margin described above contributed to the reduction in net income in comparison to the fiscal 2005 period.

During April 2001, as part of a financing arrangement entered into at the time, the Company issued 325,000 10-year warrants that since April 5, 2006 can be
put to the Company at any time based on criteria set forth in the warrant agreement. The Company historically estimated the value of the associated liability using valuation methods and techniques required in the warrant agreement. The
Company reconsidered the methodology used after discussions with the SEC and determined to value the put warrant liability using the Companys closing stock price as of the last day of each reporting period. Using this methodology, the closing
stock price as of February 28, 2006 less the associated exercise price multiplied by the number of warrants granted, resulted in a $2.3 million liability which is included in

Other Current Liabilities. As of February 28, 2005, the Company reported a $3.5 million liability as Other Long-Term Liabilities. The Company believes
this methodology provides an appropriate estimate of entity value. Changes to the fair value of the put warrant liability are recognized in the earnings of the Company, and in fiscal 2006, the Company recognized income of $1.2 million. The put
warrants will continue to be revalued on a quarterly basis as long as they remain outstanding which could result in either significant increases or reductions in the Companys annual and quarterly net income.

The Companys results of operations during fiscal 2006 were also impacted by several operational events in its domestic segment that we expect will improve
financial performance in future periods. On May 5, 2005, the Company acquired the assets of Capitol USA adhesives in exchange for cash, a promissory note and all of the assets of the Companys carpet seaming tape business. After the
acquisition of Capitol, the Company closed its Boca Raton, Florida office and warehouse facility and moved the warehousing and distribution operations to Dalton, Georgia and relocated the corporate offices within Boca Raton, Florida to a smaller
facility. In addition, during fiscal 2006, the Company moved other operations to the Dalton location and is considering consolidating other functions where appropriate. The Company also recorded a $1.1 million gain resulting from the sale of a
carpet seaming tape distribution business in its domestic segment. The sale was executed in conjunction with the acquisition of a flooring adhesive business in fiscal 2006.

In response to the Companys high cost of operations in the Companys European segment in the past, the Company also restructured its European manufacturing and distribution function in fiscal 2006 by
significantly reducing its operations in Holland. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $0.6 million in fiscal 2006 related to this restructuring.

Accounting Policies and Estimates

Significant accounting policies are contained in Note B to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. The following are our most critical accounting policies which are those that require complex judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when
products are shipped and title has passed to the customer, the selling price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured. The Company provides for estimated costs of future anticipated product returns based
on historical experience, when the related revenues are recognized. The Company records estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs including volume-based incentives.

Inventories

The Company records inventory at the lower of standard cost or market. The Company maintains
reserves for excess and obsolete inventory based on market conditions and expected future demand. If actual market conditions were to be less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves could be required.

Accounts Receivable

The Companys accounts receivable
are principally due from home centers or flooring accessory distributors. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customers financial condition, and collateral

is not required. Accounts receivable are due at various times based on each customers credit worthiness and selling arrangement. The outstanding
balances are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the customers previous loss history,
the customers ability to pay its obligations and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole.

Impairment Evaluations

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and identifiable intangible assets,
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company performs indefinite-lived impairment tests on at least an annual basis and more frequently in certain circumstances. When
the Company determines that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of certain indicators, the assets are assessed for impairment based on the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from
the use of the asset. For goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, impairment assessments are generally determined using the estimated future discounted cash flows of the assets reporting unit using a discount rate determined by
management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. In both instances, if the carrying amount of the asset being tested exceeds its fair value, an impairment of the value has occurred and the asset may be written
down. The Company will assess impairment of its intangible assets as of August 31stor whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Should the Companys operating performance and resulting cash flows be less than expected, an impairment charge could be incurred which may have a
material impact on the Companys results of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company is required to estimate income tax in each jurisdiction in which it operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure and deferred income taxes to reflect the tax consequences on
future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts each year-end. The Company must then consider the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be recoverable from future taxable
income and to the extent that the Company believes that recoverability is not likely, the Company establishes a valuation allowance.

Put Warrant
Liability

In connection with the subordinated loan agreement entered into during fiscal 2001 the Company issued 325,000 10-year warrants at an
exercise price of $3.63 per share. The put warrants continue to remain outstanding and since April 5, 2006 can be put to the Company at any time, based on criteria set forth in the warrant agreement. In addition, the Company may
call these warrants on and after April 5, 2007, based on the same criteria. In the event the warrant is put to the Company, the Company will be required to pay the holder of the warrants in cash in accordance with the warrant
agreement. The liability is based on the determination of the Companys entity value, which is defined in the warrant agreement. After discussions with the SEC, the Company has determined to estimate the value of the put warrant liability by
calculating the difference between the closing stock price at the end of a reporting period and the exercise price of $3.63 per share multiplied by the 325,000 warrants outstanding. Changes to the fair value of the put warrant liability are
recognized in the earnings of the Company, and in fiscal 2006, the Company recognized income of $1.2 million. The Company believes this methodology provides an appropriate estimate of entity value. The put warrants will continue to be revalued on a
quarterly basis as long as they remain outstanding which could result in either significant increases or reductions in the Companys annual and quarterly net income. In addition, the actual settlement amount of the put warrant liability could
differ materially from the value determined based on the Companys stock price.

Fiscal 2006 as compared to Fiscal 2005

Sales

Net sales for the twelve months ended February 28, 2006 (fiscal 2006, or the fiscal 2006 period) were $212.3 million compared to $173.6 million for the twelve months ended
February 28, 2005 (fiscal 2005, or the fiscal 2005 period), an increase of $38.7 million or 22%. Sales amounts by segment are as follows (in thousands except percentages):

The majority of revenue in the domestic and Canadian segments was to home center customers, which was the primary
reason for the increase in sales in the two segments in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005. Approximately $29.0 million of the increase in domestic and Canadian sales was the result of increases in sales to existing home center customers. This
includes additional sales in existing stores, sales of new products and sales into new stores. The remaining increase in these two segments is due to expansion of the Companys distribution customer base and the effect of the acquisition of
various product lines, net of divestitures. Sales of adhesives products, which increased approximately $18.0 million, accounted for substantially all of the domestic and Canadian increase in distribution sales and a portion of the increase in
domestic and Canadian home center sales. Sales of underlayment products introduced in fiscal 2005 also contributed to the increased sales in Canada.

In
addition, the Company was able to increase sales prices to its home center and distribution customers during fiscal year 2006, which resulted in an overall increase in worldwide selling prices of approximately 2.0%, which also contributed to the
increase in sales in comparison to the previous fiscal year.

Sales rebates of $0.5 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 in the
domestic and Canadian segments as a reduction in revenue. This amount is in excess of the amounts recorded on sales rebates in the other periods in fiscal 2006. The sales rebates came about in the fourth quarter due to stronger than expected fourth
quarter sales that allowed certain customers to take larger (as a percentage of sales) annual volume discounts than management had estimated during the first three quarters. Volume discounts are applied to full year sales and the discounts increase
as certain full year sales thresholds are achieved.

In the Companys European segment, the decrease in sales is primarily the result of a reduction
of sales in the Holland subsidiary of $5.3 million. During the two previous fiscal years, operations in Holland have been strategically reduced due to ongoing losses, resulting in the reduction in sales. These reductions in Holland were offset by
the inclusion of full year results of approximately $2.7 million from the Companys acquisition in France which was made during the third quarter of fiscal 2005 along with increases in sales of approximately $2.2 million in the Companys
operations in the UK.

The inclusion of full year results from acquisitions completed in the Companys Australia/New Zealand and Other segments in
fiscal 2005 also contributed to the increase in sales. The effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes resulted in an increase in sales of approximately $2.5 million in the period. Sales outside of North America now represent approximately 21%
of the Companys total sales compared to 25% for the fiscal 2005 period.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for fiscal 2006 was approximately $62.0 million compared to approximately $53.6 million in fiscal 2005, an increase of approximately $8.4 million or 16%. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit
decreased to 29.2% in the fiscal 2006 period from 30.9% in the fiscal 2005 period. A summary of gross profit by segment is as follows (in thousands except percentages):

The increase in gross profit in the domestic segment is primarily the result of increased sales volume in the
period offset by (1) cost increases in the raw material components of the Companys adhesive business, and to a lesser extent finished goods, that were only partially passed through to the Companys home center and distributor
customer base during the fiscal 2006 period, (2) the relative increase in flooring adhesive product sales which have relatively lower overall margin than do sales of other types of products, (3) increased sales rebates associated with
increased sales volume from the Companys largest customers and (4) the initiation of a direct shipment program (direct from our suppliers to some of our customers with delivery being taken at the suppliers dock) with lower gross
profit margins. The direct shipment program, however, is expected to generate greater overall operating profit margins after reductions in related operating expenses. Each of these items except the direct shipment program will also affect the
Canadian segment. In addition, increased sales of underlayment products, which typically carry with them higher profit margins than many of the products offered by the Company, also contributed to the increased gross profit in the Canadian segment.

The gross profit as a percent of sales for the Canadian segment is higher than the same measure for the domestic segment. In general, the Canadian segment
sells the same products to the same customers as the domestic segment, especially with respect to home center customers. The product costs used in the calculation of gross profit are burdened based on Canadas level of sales to both their
external customers and sales to intercompany customers. Consequently, the gross profit in Canada does not exclusively reflect the economics of sales to its external customers.

The reduction in gross profit in the Companys European segment is primarily the result of the reduction in sales in Holland as previously discussed. Increase in gross profit in the Australia/New Zealand segment
was the result of additional volume and price increases related to the enhanced market position created by an acquisition in fiscal 2005.

The full year
effect of acquisitions made in fiscal 2005 accounted for approximately $1.2 million of additional costs and foreign currency exchange rate changes accounted for approximately $0.9 million of the cost increases.

Shipping expenses for the fiscal 2006 period were approximately $20.9 million compared to approximately $17.3
million for the fiscal 2005 period, an increase of approximately $3.6 million or 21%. The increase in shipping expenses is primarily due to the increased level of business activity in the domestic segment. In addition, shipping costs increased due
to higher freight costs from common carriers resulting from increased fuel costs. During fiscal 2006, the Companys domestic fixed shipping costs were allocated across a larger sales base and did not impact the increase in shipping expenses in
comparison with the previous fiscal year. The increase in shipping expense due to increased volume is also the primary reason behind the increase in expenses in the Canadian operating segment in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005. In addition, the
Companys recent acquisitions accounted for approximately $0.3 million of the increase and foreign currency exchange rate differences accounted for approximately $0.2 million. During fiscal 2006, shipping expenses remained consistent as a
percent of sales with the level experienced in fiscal 2005 at approximately 10%.

General and administrative expenses for the fiscal 2006 period were
approximately $18.8 million compared to approximately $15.0 million for the fiscal 2005 period an increase of approximately $3.8 million or 25%. The increase is primarily due to an increase in depreciation, insurance, human resources and technology
costs in the Companys domestic segment. Approximately $0.7 million of the increase was a result of the full year effect of the Companys fiscal 2005 international acquisitions and $0.1 million was foreign currency exchange rate related.
During fiscal 2006, general and administrative expenses remained consistent as a percent of sales with the level experienced in fiscal 2005 at approximately 9%.

Selling and marketing costs for the fiscal 2006 period increased to approximately $20.2 million from approximately $16.8 million in the fiscal 2005 period, an increase of approximately $3.4 million or 20%. Approximately $0.9 million of the
increase is due to the costs of introducing new products at the Companys home center customers during fiscal 2006. Approximately $0.3 million of the increase is foreign currency exchange rate related and the newly acquired international
subsidiaries accounted for approximately $0.2 million of the increase. During fiscal 2006, selling and marketing expenses remained consistent as a percent of sales with the level experienced in fiscal 2005 at approximately 10%.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company executed a buy back agreement with one of its significant domestic and Canadian customers. The buy back
agreement allowed the Company to buy from one of its customers all of a competitors products that were in the customers inventory in order to replace the competitors products with the Companys products. The total amount
committed to the buyback was approximately $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and was recorded in selling and marketing costs in the period.

Operating expenses in the Canadian segment do not reflect expenses related to shared infrastructure with the domestic segment. No charges for sales infrastructure related to home center customers, shared administrative expenses, integrated
computer systems, and other shared services functions have been recorded in Canada. This would affect both general and administrative and selling and marketing expenses.

Other income and expense incurred during fiscal 2006 is primarily a gain of approximately $1.1 million resulting from the sale of the Companys carpet seaming tape distribution business. This seaming tape
business sale was in connection with the acquisition of a flooring adhesive business and was recorded in the Companys domestic segment (see note D of the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Interest expense for the fiscal 2006 period was approximately $2.5 million compared to approximately $1.5 million in the
fiscal 2005 period. Interest expense increased as a result of increased borrowings to fund the Companys acquisitions and working capital needs, as well as increased interest rates during the fiscal 2006 period.

The Company reported a liability of $2.3 million relating to the valuation of the Companys put warrants at the end of fiscal 2006 as Other Current Liabilities, as
compared to a $3.5 million liability reported at the end of fiscal 2005 as Other Long-Term Liabilities. The amounts were classified as liabilities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. Changes to the fair value of the put warrant liability are recognized in the earnings of the Company, and in fiscal 2006, the Company recognized income of $1.2 million
relating to the put warrants. In fiscal 2005, the Company recognized income of $0.2 million due to a partial reversal of the value of the previously established liability. The put warrants will continue to be revalued on a quarterly basis as long as
they remain outstanding which could result in either significant increases or reductions in the Companys quarterly net income depending on fluctuations in the price of the Companys stock. For a more detailed discussion regarding the put
warrants and managements estimates of the associated liability, see Liquidity and Capital Resources.

The Company recorded a provision
for income taxes in fiscal 2006 of approximately $0.9 million compared with a recovery of approximately $0.1 million in the fiscal 2005 period. The increase is primarily due to the recording, in fiscal 2005, of a tax benefit associated with the
write-off of certain debt owed to the Companys domestic operations from one of the Companys international subsidiaries. This was partially offset by the recording, in fiscal 2006, of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance against
previously recorded tax benefits from foreign net operating losses. The deferred tax asset valuation allowance was taken in the fourth quarter due to the Company performing a detailed analysis under the guidelines of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 at year end which included reviewing the subsidiaries financial results and projections and considering the likelihood that the deferred tax asset will be recoverable from future taxable income and, to the extent
that the Company believes that recoverability is not likely, establishing a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance was the result of management estimates made in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company does not realize a tax benefit or
incur a tax provision associated with the accounting for the put warrant liability. Estimated tax rates are based upon the most recent effective tax rates available in every jurisdiction in which the Company operates. The Company expects the future
effective tax rate will be somewhat lower than its statutory rate in the near-term due to loss carry forwards that can be utilized in the future.

Due to
the reasons stated above the Company recorded net income of approximately $1.0 million or $0.26 per diluted share in the fiscal 2006 period compared to net income of $3.0 million or $0.77 per diluted share in the fiscal 2005 period.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company booked a net loss of $1.6 million or $0.41 per diluted share. This occurred after the Company had recorded net
income the preceding periods in fiscal 2006. The primary reason for the change in results in the fourth quarter were deferred income tax valuation allowances ($0.4 million), new product costs ($0.3 million) and increased sales rebates ($0.3 million)
recorded in the period. The valuation allowances were recorded as the result of managements analysis of the recoverability of deferred tax assets in the future. This analysis was based on managements estimates of future performance
completed in the fourth quarter. The costs related to new products were related to a buy back agreement that allowed the Company to purchase from a customer all of a competitors inventory with the customer in order to replace the
competitors product with our product. The sales rebates came about in the fourth quarter due to stronger than expected fourth quarter sales that allowed certain customers to take larger (as a percentage of sales) annual volume discounts than
management had estimated during the first three quarters. The interim sales rebate calculations are generally based on projected annual sales.

Fiscal 2005 as compared to Fiscal 2004

Sales

Net sales for the twelve months ended
February 28, 2005 were approximately $173.6 million compared to approximately $143.3 million for the twelve months ended February 29, 2004 (fiscal 2004, or the fiscal 2004 period), an increase of approximately $30.3
million or 21%. A summary of sales by segment is as follows (in thousands except percentages):

The increase in sales in the domestic and Canadian segments in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 was a result of
the further penetration of the Companys existing product offerings across more stores to the Companys existing home center customers, store expansion by the Companys current home center customers and an increase resulting from the
Companys distribution customer base ($4.0 million). Substantially all of the increase in the distribution business and a portion of the home center increase was a result of an increase in the Companys adhesive business. Sales for the
Companys European segment increased as the result of the inclusion of results from acquisitions completed in fiscal 2004 of approximately $9.1 million in the UK and fiscal 2005 of approximately $1.8 million in France. An acquisition in fiscal
2005 was also primarily responsible for the increase in sales in Australia/New Zealand of approximately $4.9 million.

Sales outside of the North America
segment represented approximately 25% and 16% of the Companys total sales in fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, approximately $2.6 million of the increase in sales in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 was a result of changes in
foreign exchange rates.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for fiscal 2005 was approximately $53.6 million compared to approximately $49.2 million for fiscal 2004, an increase of approximately $4.4 million or 8.9%. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to 30.9% in the
fiscal 2005 period from 34.3% in the fiscal 2004 period. A summary of gross profit by segment is as follows (in thousands except percentages):

The decrease in gross profit in the domestic segment is the result of significant price increases in the raw
material components of the Companys adhesive business that were not able to be passed through to the Companys home center customers and only partially to its distribution based customers during the fiscal 2005 period. In addition, but to
a lesser extent, the Company received increases in the cost of components for its tools that were absorbed by the Company during this fiscal year. Due to the fact that adhesive production makes up the majority of the manufacturing operations in
Canada, the increased sales of adhesives in both the domestic and Canadian segments allowed the Canadian manufacturing operation to absorb its fixed costs at an increased rate, resulting in the increase in gross profit in the Canadian segment
despite the increased raw material costs. In addition, underlayment products were introduced to home center customers in Canada in fiscal 2005. These products carry with them higher profit margins than many of the products offered by the Company,
adding to Canadas increased gross profit in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004.

##### Table of Contents

Increases in gross profit in the Europe, Australia/New Zealand and Other segments were the result of the additional
volume from the inclusion of acquisitions completed during either fiscal 2004 or fiscal 2005. Acquisitions were completed in the UK, Australia, France and Mexico during this time.

Operating Expenses

Total operating
expenses for fiscal 2005 were $49.4 million, an increase of $8.4 million, or 20%, from the $41.0 million recorded in fiscal 2004. A summary of the operating expenses by segment is as follows (in thousands):

Shipping expenses for the fiscal 2005 period were approximately $17.3 million compared to approximately $14.5
million for the fiscal 2004 period, an increase of approximately $2.8 million or 19.0%. This was primarily due to the increased level of business activity resulting from increased sales in the Companys domestic segment and the Companys
recent acquisitions ($1.2 million). Increased shipping expenses due to increased volume is the primary reason for the increase in operating expenses in Canada. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also contributed an additional $0.2 million to
the increase. Shipping expenses as a percent of net sales were approximately 10% in fiscal 2005, consistent with the level experienced in fiscal 2004.

General and administrative expenses for the fiscal 2005 period were approximately $15.1 million compared to approximately $12.3 million for the fiscal 2004 period, an increase of approximately $2.8 million or 23%. Approximately $2.2 million
of the increase was a result of the Companys fiscal 2005 foreign acquisitions and $0.3 million was related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The additional increase was the result of an increase in depreciation, insurance, human
resource and technology costs at the Companys domestic subsidiaries. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses remained consistent at approximately 9% in the fiscal 2004 and 2005 periods.

Selling and marketing costs for the fiscal 2005 period increased to approximately $16.8 million from approximately $13.4 million in the fiscal 2004 period, an increase
of approximately $3.4 million or 25%. A substantial portion of the increase was the result of the costs of introducing new products and packaging to the Companys home center customers during fiscal 2005. The newly acquired foreign subsidiaries
accounted for $0.8 million of the increase and $0.4 million of the increase is related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As a percentage of net sales, these selling and marketing expenses increased to 10% in the fiscal 2005 period from
9% in the fiscal 2004 period.

In fiscal 2004, other expense included approximately $0.6 million relating to the early repayment of the Companys
subordinated debt.

The change in the put warrant liability for the fiscal 2005 period was income of approximately $0.2 million due the reversal of
previously established put warrant liability. The change in the put warrant liability for the fiscal 2004 period was an expense of approximately $2.8 million.

Interest expense, net for the fiscal 2005 period was approximately $1.5 million compared to approximately $1.6 million in the fiscal 2004 period. Interest decreased slightly as a result of the repayment in fiscal 2004 of the Companys
high interest subordinated debt. This was partially offset by a

##### Table of Contents

gradual increase in the borrowing rate and an increase in the Companys borrowings to fund growth and make acquisitions in fiscal 2005. Fiscal 2004
interest expense also reflected a penalty associated with the repayment of the Companys subordinated debt.

The Company recorded a recovery of income
taxes in fiscal 2005 of $0.1 million compared with a charge of $2.4 million in the fiscal 2004 period. The decrease principally is a result of the decrease in the Companys taxable income and a one-time tax benefit of $1.6 million associated
with the write-off of certain intercompany foreign debt for United States tax purposes offset by a valuation allowance of $0.5 million taken against previously recorded tax benefits of foreign net operating losses. In addition, the Company did not
realize a tax benefit or charge associated with changes in the value of the put liability.

Net income increased to $3.0 million in the fiscal 2005 period
from $1.4 million in the fiscal 2004 period primarily due to change in the valuation of the put warrant liability as discussed above. Net income as a percentage of sales increased to 2% for the fiscal 2005 period from 1% of sales for the fiscal 2004
period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working
capital decreased to approximately $7.9 million, as of February 28, 2006 from approximately $11.4 million at February 28, 2005, a decrease of approximately $3.5 million primarily as a result of the classification of the put warrant
liability (see Note J) as a current liability. The put warrant liability has been classified as a current liability starting with the fiscal 2006 period because since April 5, 2006 the warrant can be put to the Company at any time,
although that is not necessarily indicative of the point in time at which that obligation will require the use of Company funds.

Any cash in excess of
anticipated requirements is invested in commercial paper or overnight repurchase agreements with a financial institution. The Company states the value of such investments at market price and classifies them as cash equivalents on its balance sheet.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the fiscal 2006 period was approximately $1.8 million compared to approximately $6.7 million for the
comparable fiscal 2005 period. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities was primarily due to an increase in the investment in inventory and accounts receivable of approximately $8.3 million in fiscal 2006. A reduction in net income as
adjusted for non-cash income statement items, which would include adjustments for depreciation, amortization and the gain on the sale of the carpet tape seaming business in fiscal 2006, of $3.4 million also contributed to the decrease. These amounts
were partially offset by the change in the put warrant liability and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Net cash used in investing
activities was approximately $4.7 million in fiscal 2006 compared to approximately $5.9 million in fiscal 2005. The decrease in cash used in investing activities of approximately $1.2 million is due to less cash being used in the current fiscal year
for acquisitions and capital expenditures.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.7 million in the fiscal 2006 period compared to
approximately $0.7 million in the fiscal 2005 period. The change is primarily due to an increase in net debt borrowings of approximately $1.2 million during the fiscal 2006 period when compared to the fiscal 2005 period as a result of the
Companys refinancing of its term loan facility in fiscal 2006.

The Company has a loan agreement with two domestic financial institutions to provide
a revolving credit facility, mortgage and term note financing. In March 2005, the Company amended the facility to consolidate the Companys term notes and increased the amount of borrowing capacity to $27 million through February 2006 and $29
million thereafter under the revolving facility under the same formula for eligible accounts receivable and inventory that previously existed for the Company. In addition, the Company received approximately $3.0 million of additional term financing
under the amendment. The amendment provided for repayment of this facility at a rate of $0.2 million per month at an interest rate of

##### Table of Contents

Libor plus 2.125% to Libor plus 2.625%. The amendment also formally released the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of his guaranty of one
of the term loans. The balance on this term note was $4.3 million at February 28, 2006. The revolving facility was also extended to July 2008. In June 2005 and December 2005, certain financial covenants of the loan agreement were amended and,
in March 2005 and June 2005, the Company received a waiver of compliance with certain financial covenants. As of February 28, 2006, the term loan had an interest rate that ranged from Libor plus 2.125% to Libor plus 2.625%, while the revolver
bears an interest rate that ranges from Libor plus 1.50% to Libor plus 2.00%. These loans are collateralized by substantially all of the Companys assets. The agreement also prohibits the Company from incurring certain additional indebtedness,
limits certain investments, advances or loans, restricts substantial asset sales and capital expenditures and prohibits the payment of dividends, except for dividends due on the Companys Series A and C preferred stock. At February 28,
2006 the rate was Libor (4.63%) plus 2.0% and the Company had borrowed approximately $23.0 million and had $3.6 million available for future borrowings under its revolving loan facility net of approximately $0.4 million in outstanding letters
of credit.

As of February 28, 2006, the Company determined it was in violation of financial covenants under the Companys credit facility that
required the Company to maintain a certain senior debt to trailing EBITDA ratio and a certain fixed charge coverage ratio. On March 20, 2006 the Company was granted a waiver of the non-compliance of these covenants from the Lenders. Further, it
was subsequently determined that the Company was in violation of an additional financial covenant under the Companys credit facility that required the Company to maintain a certain liabilities to tangible net worth ratio. On June 1, 2006,
the Company received a waiver of the non-compliance with this covenant and the Company and its lenders amended the loan agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company (i) modified several of the financial covenants in the loan agreement,
including covenants that require the Company to maintain a certain senior debt to trailing EBITDA ratio, a certain fixed charge coverage ratio and a certain liabilities to tangible net worth ratio (all as defined in the loan agreement);
(ii) amended the loan agreement to require that lockbox deposits will be applied against the revolving loan on a daily basis; and (iii) amended the interest rate applicable to the Companys term loan and the revolving loan. As
amended, interest accrues on the term loan at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, (a) the Prime rate; or (b) Libor plus 2.13 % to Libor plus 2.88 %, while the revolving loan accrues interest at a rate per
annum equal to, at the option of the Company, (a) the Prime Rate; or (b) Libor plus 1.5 % to Libor plus 2.25 %.

The Companys
Australian subsidiary has entered into three term loan facilities with an Australian financial institution to provide financing of up to AUD 1.7 million (approximately US $1.3 million). These facilities expire between April 2007 and October
2008. The loans require quarterly payments of AUD 0.2 million (approximately US $0.1 million) and a final balloon payment. The balance of these term notes was approximately $1.2 million at February 28, 2006.

In May 2005, in connection with the acquisition of the adhesives manufacturing assets described in Note D, the Company issued a four-year, non-interest-bearing $4.0
million note due in annual installments of $1.0 million. The principle balance of the note is discounted at an imputed interest rate of 5.20%; the unamortized discount at February 28, 2006 was $0.3 million.

In November 2005, in connection with the acquisition of the distributor of tools and flooring installation products described in Note D, the Company issued a three-year,
AUD 0.5 million note (approximately US $0.3 million) bearing interest at the Australian 180-day commercial bill rate due in semi-annual installments totaling approximately AUD 0.2 million per year.

In connection with the subordinated loan agreement between the Company and HillStreet, entered into on April 5, 2001 (which was paid in full on May 12, 2003),
the Company issued 325,000 10-year warrants (the put warrants) at an exercise price of $3.63 per share. The put warrants continue to remain outstanding and since April 5, 2006 can be put to the Company at any time, based
on criteria set forth in the warrant agreement. In addition, the Company may call these warrants on and after April 5, 2007, based on the same criteria. In the event the warrant is put to the Company, the Company will be required to
pay the holder of the warrants in cash in accordance with the warrant agreement. The Company cannot

determine the actual amount of the liability until such time as the warrantholder elects to exercise the put or such time as the Company calls the warrant.
The liability is based on the determination of the Companys entity value, which is defined in the warrant agreement as the greatest of: (1) the fair market value of the Company established as of a capital transaction or public offering;
or, (2) a formula value based on a multiple of the trailing twelve month EBITDA; or (3) an appraised value as if the Company was sold as a going concern.

Prior to the Companys fiscal year ended February 28, 2006, the Company estimated the value of the put warrant liability using methods and valuation techniques required by the warrant agreement.

After discussions with the SEC, the Company has determined to value the put warrant liability by calculating the difference between the closing stock price at the end of
a reporting period and the exercise price of $3.63 per share multiplied by the 325,000 warrants outstanding. The Company believes this methodology provides an appropriate estimate of entity value. The other methodologies described above may be
utilized to value the liability if they yield a higher entity value than the stock price method. Based on this methodology, management determined that a liability of $2.3 million should be reported for the put warrants at the end of fiscal 2006,
compared to a liability of $3.5 million at the end of fiscal 2005. The decrease in the liability is included as $1.2 million of income on the income statement in fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2005, the Company recognized income of $0.2 million due to a
partial reversal of the value of the previously established liability. Changes in the value of the liability are recorded in net income of the period.

It
is likely that the estimated fair value of the put liability will continue to fluctuate in the future depending on changes in the Companys stock price. In addition, the actual settlement amount for the put warrant liability could differ
materially from the value determined using the Companys closing stock price as of the end of any reporting period. Management does not believe that it can estimate the Companys maximum potential liability under the warrant agreement due
to the fact that each of the methodologies contemplated under the warrant agreement for determining the put price is based upon a measurement of the fair value of the Company at a specific moment in time. Management has no way to estimate in advance
what such values would be.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

During fiscal 2006, the Company experienced significant price increases in certain key commodities and components related to the purchase of raw materials and finished goods. The Company believes that its level of
gross profit as a percent of net sales is affected by these increases. Other than the changes described, the effect of inflation on the Companys operations has been minimal.

capital needs, including the growth in inventory and accounts receivable balances, and will be adequate to finance anticipated capital expenditures and debt
obligations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that the assumptions upon which the Company bases its future working capital and capital expenditure requirements and the assumptions upon which it bases its belief that
funds will be available to satisfy such requirements will prove to be correct. If these assumptions are not correct, the Company may be required to raise additional capital through loans or the issuance of debt securities that would require the
consent of the Companys current lenders, or through the issuance of equity securities.

To the extent the Company raises additional capital by
issuing equity securities or obtaining borrowings convertible into equity, ownership dilution to existing stockholders will result, and future investors may be granted rights superior to those of existing stockholders. Moreover, additional capital
may be unavailable to the Company on acceptable terms, or may not be available at all.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) addresses the accounting for transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair
value of the enterprises equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. When SFAS 123(R) becomes effective, it will replace SFAS 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and
supercede APB No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), and will require companies to recognize compensation cost in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments, such as stock options granted
to employees.

As required, the Company will adopt the new standard effective March 1, 2006 utilizing the modified prospective approach as allowed
under SFAS 123(R). Recognition will be based on the requirements of SFAS 123 (R) for all share based payments granted after March 1, 2006 and for all awards granted to employees before March 1, 2006 that remain unvested on that date.
Had the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods the impact of the standard would have approximated the impact as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Footnote B of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management believes the impact of implementing SFAS 123(R) will not be material in future periods.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections-a Replacement of APB No. 20 and SFAS No. 3. SFAS No. 154 requires a voluntary change in accounting principle to be applied retrospectively to all prior period financial
statements so that those financial statements are presented as if the current accounting principle had always been applied. APB Opinion 20 previously required most voluntary changes in accounting principle to be recognized by including in net income
of the period of change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. In additions, SFAS No. 154 carries forward without change the guidance contained in APB 20 for reporting a correction of an error in previously issued
financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No 154 effective March 1, 2006 resulting in no material impact on the Companys operations.

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a current or future effect on the Companys financial condition, changes in financial condition,
revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. The Company does maintain $0.4 million on outstanding letters of credit at the end of the fiscal year.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of
the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

International revenues from the Companys non-North American operations accounted for approximately 21% of total revenues during fiscal 2006. International revenues
are generated from foreign subsidiaries and are typically denominated in the local currency of each country. Generally, these subsidiaries incur most of their expenses in local currency and, accordingly, use the local currency as their functional
currency.

The Companys international operations are subject to risks, including, but not limited to differing economic conditions, changes in
political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility when compared to the United States. Accordingly, the Companys future results may be materially adversely impacted by changes
in these or other factors. The Company currently does not utilize currency forward exchange contracts or any other instrument to hedge currency denominated transactions.

The Company averaged $32.4 million of variable rate debt during fiscal 2006. If interest rates would have increased by 10%, the effect on the Company would have been an increase in interest expense of approximately
$0.2 million.

The Company issued 325,000 warrants associated with certain of its previously existing subordinated debt. These warrants contain put and
call provisions as defined in the agreement (See Note J of the Consolidated Financial Statements). If the fair value of the warrant changes by $0.10, the effect on the Company would be an adjustment to earnings of less than $0.1 million.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and
Procedures.

Previously, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management,
including Lewis Gould, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, and Randall Paulfus, the Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of
the period covered by this report pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, Marc Applebaum, the Companys Chief Financial Officer, resigned and was replaced by Randall Paulfus, a partner with Tatum LLC,
to serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that as a result of the material weaknesses in the Companys internal control over financial
reporting described more fully below, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries required to be
included in the Companys periodic filings. In connection with the filing of this Amendment No. 1 to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and the
Companys Chief Financial Officer, reevaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K/A, and determined that as a result of the material
weaknesses in the Companys internal control over financial reporting described more fully below, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information relating to
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries required to be included in the Companys periodic filings.

##### Table of Contents

In connection with the audit for the Companys fiscal years ending February 28, 2005 and 2006, the Company and
its independent auditors identified material weaknesses in the Companys internal control over financial reporting relating to the Companys procedures for (i) reconciling intercompany balances, and (ii) ensuring proper
documentation and review of consolidating adjusting journal entries. During fiscal 2006, the Company implemented and continues to implement various measures to address the material weaknesses and to improve overall internal control over financial
reporting, including without limitation, (a) hiring of additional personnel to respond to the financial reporting and control complexities associated with the Companys expanding operations; (b) developing and implementing additional
control procedures over the recording of intercompany transactions, reconciliation of intercompany balances, and monitoring of compliance with those procedures; and (c) developing and implementing additional control procedures over the
initiation and review of adjusting journal entries.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. The design of any system of controls 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 remote. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Except as described above, there were no significant changes in the Companys internal controls
over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect such internal controls during the three months ended February 28, 2006.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Q.E.P. Co., Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying balance
sheets of Q.E.P. Co., Inc. (a Delaware corporation) as of February 28, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
February 28, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Q.E.P. Co., Inc. as of
February 28, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The Schedule II is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

As discussed in Note C and Note F, the
Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for changes to the methodology of calculating a put warrant liability and to add segment information under SFAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information.

Q.E.P. CO., INC. AND SUBSIDAIRIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Q.E.P. Co., Inc. (the
Company) is a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of a broad line of specialty tools and flooring related products for the home improvement market. Under brand names including Q.E.P.®, ROBERTS®, Capitol®, QSet, Vitrex® and Elastiment,
the Company markets specialty tools and flooring related products used primarily for the surface preparation and installation of ceramic tile, carpet, vinyl and wood flooring. Q.E.P. and its subsidiaries market approximately 3,000 products in the
U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia and Latin America. The Company sells its products primarily to large home improvement retail centers, as well as traditional distribution outlets in all the markets it serves.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



|1. | Principles of Consolidation
|-- | ---------------------------

The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Q.E.P. Co., Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, after eliminating all significant inter-company accounts and transactions.



|2. | Warrants
|-- | --------

In connection with the refinancing of
certain subordinated debt (see Note J), the Company issued 325,000 warrants at $3.63, which will expire on April 4, 2011 (put warrants). Since April 5, 2006, these warrants can be put to the Company at any time based on certain
criteria, and can be called by the Company on and after April 5, 2007. In the event the warrant holder exercises the put feature of the warrants, the Company will be required to pay the holder in cash in accordance with the warrant agreement.
The Company cannot determine the actual amount of the liability until such time as the warrantholder elects to exercise the put or such time as the Company calls the warrant. The liability is based on the determination of the Companys entity
value, which is defined in the warrant agreement as the greatest of: (1) the fair market value of the Company established as of a capital transaction or public offering; or, (2) a formula value based on a multiple of the trailing twelve
month EBITDA; or (3) an appraised value as if the Company was sold as a going concern. Prior to the Companys fiscal year ended February 28, 2006, the Company estimated the value of the put warrant liability using methods and
valuation techniques required by the warrant agreement. After discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Company has determined to estimate the value of the liability by calculating the difference between the
Companys closing stock price at the end of a reporting period and the exercise price of $3.63 per share multiplied by the 325,000 warrants granted. A liability of $2.3 million and $3.5 million as of February 28, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, has been reported utilizing this methodology. The Company believes this methodology provides an appropriate estimate of entity value. The liability was classified as a long-term liability at the end of fiscal 2005 and a short-term
liability at the end of fiscal 2006 due to the timing of the ability of the warrantholder to exercise the put feature. The amounts were classified as liabilities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150,
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. Changes in the value of the liability are recorded in income for the period.



|3. | Cash and Cash Equivalents
|-- | -------------------------

The Company considers
all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include $0.8 million of foreign balances.

based on each customers credit worthiness and selling arrangement. The outstanding balances are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of
time trade accounts receivable are past due, the customers previous loss history, the customers ability to pay its obligations, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. An account may be determined to be
uncollectible if all collection efforts have been exhausted, the customer has filed for bankruptcy, and all recourse against the account is exhausted, or disputes are unresolved and negotiations to settle are exhausted. Uncollectible accounts are
written off against the allowance. Payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.



|5. | Inventories
|-- | -----------

Inventories are stated at the lower of
standard cost or market, which approximates first-in, first-out, actual cost or net realizable value.



|6. | Property and Equipment
|-- | ----------------------

Property and equipment are
stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by straight-line methods in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their expected useful life
or the remaining life of the respective lease, whichever is shorter.

The following are the estimated lives of the Companys property
and equipment:



|                                  |  |               
|--------------------------------- |  | --------------
|Machinery and warehouse equipment |  | 5 to 10 years 
|Furniture and computer equipment  |  | 3 to 10 years 
|Capital leases                    |  | 3 to 5 years  
|Building                          |  | 30 to 33 years
|Leasehold improvements            |  | 5 to 15 years 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense and significant renewals and betterments are
capitalized. When property is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations for the period.



|7. | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
|-- | ------------------------------------

Goodwill is
tested for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 using a fair value approach applied to each reporting unit. Impairment charges are recognized for amounts where the reporting units goodwill
exceeds its fair value. The Company amortizes the cost of other intangibles over their estimated useful lives. Amortizable intangible assets may also be tested for impairment if indications of impairment exist. The impairment test is based on a
valuation provided by an independent appraiser and, if the asset is impaired, it is written down to fair value. The Companys annual impairment assessment date is August 31st.



|8. | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
|-- | -------------------------------

The Company
evaluates its long-lived assets and definite-lived intangibles for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 whenever events or

circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets or intangibles may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its fair value as provided by an independent appraiser. If such an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the
asset exceeds its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.



|9. | Income Taxes
|-- | ------------

The Company provides for federal,
state and foreign income taxes currently payable, as well as for those deferred due to timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax
assets if it is more likely than not all, or some portion, of such deferred tax assets will not be realized.



|10. | Leases
|--- | ------

Leases which meet certain criteria are
classified as capital leases. For such leases, assets and obligations are recorded initially at the present value of the contractual lease payments. The capitalized leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the assets estimated
economic lives. Interest expense relating to the lease liabilities is recorded to affect a constant rate of interest over the terms of the obligations. Leases not meeting capitalization criteria are classified as operating leases and related rentals
are charged to expense as incurred.



|11. | Stock-Based Compensation
|--- | ------------------------

The Company grants stock
options for a fixed number of shares to employees and directors with an exercise price equal to at least 85% of the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. As of the current date, however, no options have been issued at a discount to
market price. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provision of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure, which
permits the Company to account for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under APB 25, compensation expense is recorded when the exercise price of the
Companys employee stock option is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the date of grant.

The Company will adopt
SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the Company will recognize compensation expense related to outstanding unvested stock options in fiscal 2007 and beyond.

During fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for options issued under the intrinsic value method of
APB 25. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for stock option awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the Companys net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the
years ended February 28 or 29, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively would have been as follows (in thousands except per share data):

The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during 2006, 2005 and 2004
was $6.59, $8.91 and $5.40 per option, respectively. The fair value of each option at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for grants:



|                                |  |         |   |  |         |   |  |         |

|12. | Earnings Per Share
|--- | ------------------

Basic earnings per share is
computed based on weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common
stock equivalent shares consist of stock options and warrant common stock equivalent shares which are not utilized when the effect is antidilutive. All common stock equivalents have been excluded from the diluted per share calculation in 2006
because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.



|13. | Restructuring
|--- | -------------

The Company began the process of
restructuring one of its foreign operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005. The costs of the restructuring, principally related to termination benefits that are expected to continue through fiscal year 2008, are accrued and currently
are estimated to aggregate to $0.6 million in fiscal 2006. Changes in the liability associated with the restructuring are recorded in general and administrative expense and are as follows (in thousands):

|14. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|--- | -----------------------------------

The following
methods and assumptions were used in estimating the indicated fair values of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying
amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Short term debt: The carrying amount approximates fair value
due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Long term debt: The fair value of the Companys borrowings approximates the carrying
value based on current rates offered to the Company for similar debt.

Put warrant liability: The carrying amount approximates fair value
based on a valuation determined by calculating the difference between the Companys closing stock price at the end of a reporting period and the exercise price of $3.63 per share multiplied by the 325,000 warrants granted.



|15. | Foreign Currencies
|--- | ------------------

The financial statements of
subsidiaries outside the United States are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Translation
adjustments resulting from this process are charged or credited to equity. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in general
and administrative expenses and were immaterial in fiscal 2006. A gain of $0.2 million was recorded in fiscal 2005.



|16. | Revenue Recognition
|--- | -------------------

Sales are recognized when
merchandise is shipped and title has passed to the customer, the selling price is fixed and determinable and collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured. Such revenue is recorded net of estimated sales returns, discounts and allowances.
The Company establishes reserves for returns and allowances based on current and historical information and trends. Sales and accounts receivable have been reduced by such amounts.



|17. | Shipping and Handling Costs
|--- | ---------------------------

Shipping and handling
costs are classified as a separate operational expense on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Shipping costs billed to customers are included in sales.



|18. | Advertising Cost
|--- | ----------------

Advertising costs are expensed as
incurred and totaled $3.4 million, $2.6 million and $2.3 million for the years ended February 28 or 29, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The majority of these costs were paid to the Companys two largest customers. In return, the Company
receives and tracks the advertising in various forms of media of its products on a local, regional and national level. These retailers also display the Companys products on in-store signage and sends advertising of the Companys products
directly to its professional contractor customers. The Company believes, based on its review of information available, that the value received approximates the cost. These costs are included in selling and marketing on the consolidated statements of
income. In the event costs exceed the fair market value, the excess cost is included as a reduction of sales.

##### Table of Contents

|19. | Use of Estimates
|--- | ----------------

In preparing financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the put warrant liability, income taxes, the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserves,
depreciation and amortization. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



|20. | Comprehensive Income (loss)
|--- | ---------------------------

Comprehensive income
(loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Companys balance in comprehensive income (loss) is specifically derived
from foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company presents accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, in its consolidated statement of shareholders equity.

NOTE C  RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The
Company has restated the value of the put warrant liability as of the end of the 2004, 2005 and 2006 fiscal years. During these periods, the Company estimated the value of the put warrant liability using methods and valuation techniques required by
the warrant agreement and in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. The Company reconsidered the methodology
used after discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission and determined to value the put warrant liability by calculating the difference between the Companys closing stock price at the end of a reporting period and the exercise price
of $3.63 per share multiplied by the 325,000 warrants granted. The Company believes this methodology provides an appropriate estimate of entity value. As a result, the estimated value of the put warrant liability has been restated for all years in
which the warrants were outstanding. This change has no impact on the Companys previously reported operating income or cash flows generated from operations. Changes to the fair value of the put warrants are recognized in the earnings of the
Company. The change in the put warrant liability has been reclassified from a component to operating income to Other Income (expense) in all periods presented.

NOTE D  ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions are accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, have been included in the Companys consolidated results of operations since the acquisition date. The purchase price is allocated based on the estimated fair value of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

During fiscal 2006, the Company purchased assets of a U.S. flooring adhesives manufacturer and purchased an
Australian distributor of tools and flooring installation products. The transaction for the acquisition of the U.S. adhesives manufacturer was recorded at fair value. Consideration for the purchases was $6.4 million, including cash consideration of
$1.0 million, the fair value of a carpet seaming tape distribution business which was contributed to one of the transactions of $1.5 million and the issuance of $3.9 million in notes payable. The Company recorded a $1.1 million gain, which was
recorded in Other Expense (Income), on the sale of the carpet seaming tape distribution business. The acquisitions were accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 and accordingly, the
purchase price was allocated based on the estimated fair market values of the assets and liabilities acquired. Goodwill is attributable to the potential future cash flows resulting from the products, customers, distribution channels, management,
employees and manufacturing efficiencies acquired.

NOTE E  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income, after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing
net income, after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted average number of shares of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding. The amount of preferred stock dividends is immaterial in

The results from the Canadian operations are included as their own segment according to the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The reported results do not contain allocations of corporate expenses and sales infrastructure and their product
costs are not burdened based on Canadas level of sales to external customers.

NOTE I  INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, intangible assets with definite lives are amortized while intangibles with indefinite lives, such as
goodwill, are tested annually for impairment. The Company performs an impairment test on its goodwill during the second quarter of each fiscal year.

Based
on the most recent test, the Company determined that no impairment had occurred. However, if the Companys operating performance and resulting cash flows are less than expected, an impairment charge could be incurred which may have a material
impact on the Companys results of operations.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows (in thousands):

Payable to banks under revolving credit facilities

The Company has a loan agreement with two domestic financial institutions to provide a revolving credit facility, mortgage and term note financing. In March 2005, the
Company amended the facility to consolidate the Companys term notes and increase the amount of borrowing capacity to $27 million through February 2006 and $29 million thereafter under the revolving facility under the same formula for eligible
accounts receivable and inventory that previously existed for the Company. The revolving facility was also extended to July 2008. In June 2005 and December 2005, certain financial covenants of the loan agreement were amended and in June 2005 the
Company received a waiver of compliance with certain financial covenants. As of February 28, 2006, the term loan has an interest rate that ranges from Libor plus 2.125 to Libor plus 2.625, while the revolver bears an interest rate that ranges
from Libor plus 1.50% to Libor plus 2.00%. These loans are collateralized by substantially all of the Companys assets. The agreement also prohibits the Company from incurring certain additional indebtedness, limits certain investments,
advances or loans, restricts substantial asset sales and capital expenditures and prohibits the payment of dividends, except for dividends due on the Companys Series A and C preferred stock. At February 28, 2006 the rate was Libor
(4.63%) plus 2.0% and the Company had borrowed approximately $23.0 million and had $3.6 million available for future borrowings under its revolving loan facility net of approximately $0.4 million in outstanding letters of credit.

As of February 28, 2006, the Company was in violation of financial covenants under the Companys credit facility that required the Company to maintain a
certain senior debt to trailing EBITDA ratio and a certain fixed charge coverage ratio. On March 20, 2006 the Company was granted a waiver of the current non-compliance of these covenants from the Lenders. Further, it was determined that the
Company was in violation of an additional financial covenant under the Companys credit facility that required the Company to maintain a certain liabilities to tangible net worth ratio. On June 1, 2006, the Company received a waiver of
this covenant. Also in June 2006 the loan agreement was amended with respect to certain financial covenants. The June 2006 amendment also resulted in a fee of less than $0.1 million and an increase in the interest rate to a range from Libor plus
1.5% to Libor plus 2.25%.

The Companys Australian subsidiary has a payment facility that allows it to borrow against a certain percentage of
inventory and accounts receivable. At February 28, 2006, the maximum permitted borrowing was approximately $2.1 million of which $1.5 was outstanding. The facility is considered a demand note and carries with it a rate of the Australian
Commercial Bill Rate (5.65%) plus 2%.

In connection with the purchase of the assets of Vitrex Ltd., the Companys United Kingdom subsidiary
entered into two financing arrangements with HSBC Bank in the United Kingdom. The first financing arrangement allows for borrowing up to £1.0 million (approximately U.S. $1.7 million) based on the advancement of up to 80% of the value of
accounts receivable. In addition, the subsidiary may borrow up to £0.4 million (approximately U.S. $0.7 million) against the value of the inventory. Both of these facilities are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the
subsidiary (approximately $5.6 million) as well as a guaranty by the Company. On February 28, 2006, $1.7 million was borrowed under this facility. Both are considered demand notes and have an interest rate of 6.5%.

Payable to Banks Under Term Loan Facilities

As discussed previously, in March 2005, the Company amended its term loan agreements by consolidating the then existing two facilities into one three year term facility. In addition, the Company received approximately
$3.0 million of additional term financing under the amendment. The amendment provides for repayment of this facility at a rate of $0.2 million per month at an interest rate of Libor plus 2.13% to Libor plus 2.63% through April 2008. The amendment
also formally released the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of his guaranty of one of the term loans. The balance on this term note was $4.3 million at February 28, 2006. In June 2006, the loan agreements were amended to
increase the interest rate to Libor plus 2.13% to Libor plus 2.88%.

The Companys Australian subsidiary has entered into three term loan facilities
with an Australian financial institution to provide financing of up to AUD 1.7 million (US $1.3 million). These facilities expire in April 2007, June 2008 and October 2008. The loans require quarterly payments of AUD 0.2 million
(US $0.1 million) and a final balloon payment. The balance of these term notes was US $1.2 million at February 28, 2006. The term loan is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the subsidiary (approximately $10.4 million) as well
as a guaranty by the parent company.

Payable to a Bank Under a Mortgage Agreement

In July 2003, the Company refinanced its mortgage loan in Canada to finance its expansion of the Canadian physical facilities. As of February 28, 2006, the mortgage balance is approximately $1.9 million and is
amortized based on a 15-year period. The mortgage refinancing bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% and will mature in September 2008. The mortgage loan requires principal payments of less than $0.1 million per month.

Acquisition Notes Payable

In July 2002, in connection with the
acquisition of an Australian distributor, the Companys Australian subsidiary issued a note to the related seller in the approximate amount of AUD 1.4 million (approximately US $0.8 million). This note requires monthly payments of less
than US $0.1 million through December 2006 with interest at 6.5%. Approximately US $0.2 million was outstanding at February 28, 2006.

In
connection with certain acquisitions during fiscal years 1999 through 2000, the Company issued two unsecured notes. The first note was amended on two occasions to extend the final $0.3 million due as of February 29, 2004 to October 10,
2009 with interest payable quarterly at 7%. The final payment of the second note was made on July 22, 2005.

In connection with the August 2004
purchase of the assets of Tuplex Corporation, a flooring underlayment manufacturer in the United States, the Company issued a note to the seller in the amount of $0.8 million. The note requires an annual payment of $0.2 million over four years.
Interest on the note accrues at 4% per year. At February 28, 2006, $0.6 million remains unpaid.

In connection with the acquisition of the
flooring distributorship business in Mexico in November 2004, the Company issued a note to the seller in the amount of approximately $0.8 million immediately repaid approximately $0.6 million and requires payment of the remainder over a two year
period. Approximately $0.1 million was outstanding at February 28, 2006.

In connection with the acquisition of PRCI S.A. in November 2004, the
Company issued a note to the related seller for approximately $1.1 million. The note is repayable in four equal annual installments beginning November 2005. Interest on the note accrues at the EURIBOR three month rate (2.7% at February 28,
2006) per year. Approximately $0.8 million was outstanding at February 28, 2006.

In May 2005, in connection with the acquisition of the
adhesives manufacturing assets described in Note

##### Table of Contents

D, the Company issued a four-year, non-interest-bearing $4.0 million note due in annual installments of $1.0 million. The principle balance of the note is
discounted at an imputed interest rate of 5.20%; the unamortized discount at February 28, 2006 was $0.3 million.

In November 2005, in connection with
the acquisition of the Australian distributor of tools and flooring installation products described in Note D, the Company issued a three-year, AUD 0.5 million note (approximately US$0.3 million) bearing interest at the Australian 180-day
commercial bill rate (5.65%) due in semi-annual installments totaling approximately AUD 0.2 million per year.

Put Warrant Liability

In connection with the subordinated loan agreement between the Company and HillStreet, entered into on April 5, 2001 and which was paid in full on
May 12, 2003, the Company issued 325,000 10-year warrants (the Put Warrants) at an exercise price of $3.63 per share. The Put Warrants continue to remain outstanding and can be put to the Company at any time based on
criteria set forth in the warrant agreement. In addition, the Company may call these warrants on and after April 5, 2007, based on the same criteria. The Company has historically estimated the value of the liability for the put
warrants using methods and valuation techniques required by the warrant agreement. Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2006, the Company has determined to value the put warrant liability by calculating the difference between the Companys closing
stock price at the end of a reporting period and the exercise price of $3.63 per share multiplied by the 325,000 warrants granted. The Company believes this methodology provides an appropriate estimate of entity value. As a result, the estimated put
warrant liability has been restated for all periods in which the put warrant has been outstanding. The Company reported a $2.3 million and $3.5 million liability at the end of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, respectively. The amounts were classified as
liabilities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. Changes to the fair value of the Put Warrants are
recognized in the earnings of the Company in accordance with Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. In the fiscal 2006 period, the Company recognized income of $1.2 million related to the change in
the value of the put warrant liability. This compares to fiscal 2005, when the Company recorded income of approximately $0.2 million related to the same instrument.

The aggregate maturities of all debt, excluding the put warrant liability, maturing during each of the next five years as of February 28, 2006 is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE K  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company provides accruals for all direct costs associated with the estimated resolution of contingencies at the earliest date at which it is deemed probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of
such liability can be reasonably estimated.

The Company is involved in litigation from time to time in the course of its business. In the opinion of
management, no material legal proceedings are pending to which the Company or any of its property is subject.



|1. | Future Minimum Obligations
|-- | --------------------------

The Company conducts
its operations from various leased facilities. Future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases consist of the following in fiscal years ending after February 28, 2006 (in thousands):



|      |  |   |      
|----- |  | - | -----

|2. | Roberts Consolidated Industries, Inc.
|-- | -------------------------------------

The Company
is subject to federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances governing activities or operations that may have adverse environmental effects, such as discharges to air and water, handling and disposal practices for solid, special and
hazardous wastes, and imposing liability for the cost of clean up, and for certain damages resulting from sites of past spills, disposal or other releases of hazardous substances (together, Environmental Laws). Sanctions which may be
imposed for violation of Environmental Laws include the payment or reimbursement of investigative and clean up costs, administrative penalties and, in certain cases, prosecution under environmental criminal statutes. The Companys manufacturing
facilities are subject to environmental regulation by, among other agencies, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and various state authorities in the states where such facilities are located. The
activities of the Company, including its manufacturing operations at its leased facilities, are subject to the requirements of Environmental Laws. The Company believes that the cost of compliance with Environmental Laws to date has not been material
to the Company. The Company is not currently aware of any situations requiring remedial or other action which would involve a material expense to the Company, or expose the Company to material liability under Environmental Laws. As the operations of
the Company involve the storage, handling, discharge and disposal of substances which are subject to regulation under Environmental Laws, there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur any material liability under Environmental Laws in
the future or will not be required to expend funds in order to effect compliance with applicable Environmental Laws.

The Company completed
testing at its facility in Bramalea, Ontario, Canada for leakage of hazardous materials and, as a result, in fiscal 1999 the Company prepared a plan to remediate the contamination over a period of years and this plan was subsequently approved by the
Canadian Ministry of Environment. The Company recorded a reserve for potential environmental liability on the closing date of the Roberts Consolidated Industries, Inc. acquisition of approximately $0.3 million and this amount was subsequently
increased by $0.3 million to $0.6 million based on an estimate for the cost of remediation. During fiscal 2006, the Company increased the reserve by

an additional $0.1 million. Through fiscal 2006, the Company has spent approximately $0.7 million and anticipates spending less than $0.1 million on ongoing
monitoring of wells and other environmental activity per year for the next few years.

The Company received notice from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (the EPA) that an entity identified as Roberts Consolidated Industries, Inc. may be involved in the contamination of landfill sites in Clark County, Ohio and Santa Barbara County, California. In addition,
in April 2003, the record owner of certain real property in Vancouver, Washington informed the Company that an entity known as Roberts Consolidated Industry, Inc. owned or operated the facility during which time hazardous substances were disposed of
or released at the site and pursuant to Washington State law, it is also liable for remedial action costs at the site. At this time, the Company is not aware whether these entities are predecessors to any of its affiliates or whether they are
unrelated entities.

During fiscal 2005, the Company settled a lawsuit that was filed on December 27, 2002 whereby Roberts Holdings
International, Inc. (Roberts Holding), an inactive subsidiary of the Company, was named as a third party defendant in a case before the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan titled Strebor Inc. v.
International Paper Co., Case No. 1:02 CV0948. The third party plaintiff alleged that Roberts Holding is a successor to a company known as Roberts Consolidated Industries, Inc. and is required to indemnify previous owners for costs associated
with the clean-up of a property in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Company agreed to pay $50,000 per year beginning in October 2004 for five consecutive years in settlement of this action.



|3. | French Tax Assessment
|-- | ---------------------

During fiscal 2006, French
tax authorities have assessed income and value-added taxes of approximately $1.6 million, including interest and penalties, on certain transactions of a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company has disputed the assessment and is in the process of
accumulating additional information requested by such tax authorities. No provision has been made in the financial statements related to this assessment.

NOTE L  PENSION AND RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company and its subsidiaries offer a 401(k) benefit plan which provides for voluntary

The Company has approximately $0.5 million United States net operating loss carry forwards which expire in the
years 2011 through 2018, all of which relate to the Companys acquisitions in fiscal 2000. The net operating loss carry forward is subject to separate IRC Section 382 Limitation. The Section 382 limitation limits the Companys
utilization of its net operating losses to an annual amount after an ownership change.

The Company has net operating losses in various foreign countries
of approximately $3.7 million. This balance does not carry with it an associated limit on expiration. The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset based on its estimate of the recoverability of the balance of the foreign net operating losses.
Further, the Company has determined that certain foreign net operating losses may not be realized; therefore, a valuation allowance of approximately $1.1 million has been established.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 the Company determined, based on an independent appraisal, that the Companys Holland subsidiary was insolvent and therefore met the requirements for a worthless stock and
bad debt deduction under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the Company recognized the United States tax benefit of $1.6 million during fiscal 2005.

During fiscal 2002, the Company issued 50,000 non-qualified stock options to an officer of the Company. These
options have an exercise price of $4.00 and expire in ten years. In addition, in May 2003 the Company granted 50,000 shares of its common stock to the same officer. The value of the shares, as determined by an unrelated third party, was $0.3 million
at the time of the issuance. The value was recorded in expense through fiscal 2006.

In fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, the Board of Directors approved the
granting of approximately 82,200 and

58,200, respectively, of stock appreciation right grants to various members of management. These grants vest 100% after three years. The average stock price
on the date of the grants was $11.09 per share for rights granted in fiscal 2006 and $14.20 for the rights granted in fiscal 2005. The Company will record an expense over the vesting period based on the difference in the market price of the stock
and the grant date. No material amount of expenses was recognized related to the stock appreciation rights in any applicable period presented.

There were
0.4 million and 0.5 million shares available for award under the Companys current equity plans as of February 28, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE Q  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) addresses the accounting for transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities
that are based on the fair value of the enterprises equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. When SFAS 123(R) becomes effective, it will replace SFAS 123 Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation and supercede APB No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), and will require companies to recognize compensation cost in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments, such
as stock options granted to employees.

As required, the Company will adopt the new standard effective March 1, 2006 utilizing the modified
prospective approach as allowed under SFAS 123(R). Recognition will be based on the requirements of SFAS 123 (R) for all share based payments granted after March 1, 2006 and for all awards granted to employees before March 1, 2006
that remain unvested on that date. Had the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods the impact of the standard would have approximated the impact as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Footnote B above.
Management believes the impact of implementing SFAS 123(R) will not be material in future periods.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3 Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial
Statements-An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practicable
date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of the correction of an error. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made is fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these
proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE R: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company currently employs three individuals that are related to the current Chief Executive Officer
and Senior Vice-President of National Accounts. These individuals were paid a total of $0.2 million in each of fiscal 2004, 2005 and 2006.

Beginning in
fiscal 1999 continuing during fiscal 2006, the Company repurchased shares of its outstanding Common Stock from an individual related to the Chief Executive Officer having a value of approximately $0.5 million pursuant to a Board resolution to
purchase, from time to time, up to 1,000 shares of Common Stock per month at a price per share equal to $.50 less than the closing price of the

Common Stock on the date of repurchase. This individual is not obligated to sell any shares of Common Stock to the Company. As of May 15, 2006, this
individual has sold a total of 102,000 shares to the Company. The Company has recorded and amount payable to this individual at the end of fiscal 2005 and 2006 of less than $0.1 million.

The fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 included costs related to the introduction of new products at the Companys
home center customers, the establishment of valuation allowances to offset deferred tax assets that may not be recoverable and increased sales rebates associated with increased sales volume from the Companys largest customers. Each of these
items contributed to the reduction in net income in the fourth quarter of 2006.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company booked a net loss of
$1.6 million or $0.41 per diluted share. This occurred after the Company had booked net income in the preceding periods in fiscal 2006. The primary reason for the change in results in the fourth quarter were valuation allowances ($0.4 million), new
product costs ($0.3 million) and increased sales rebates ($0.3 million) recorded in the period. The valuation allowances were recorded as the result of managements analysis of the recoverability of deferred tax assets in the future. This
analysis was based on managements estimates of future performance completed in the fourth quarter. The costs related to new products were related to a buy back agreement that allowed the Company to purchase from a customer all of a
competitors inventory with the customer in order to replace our competitors product with our product. The sales rebates came about in the fourth quarter due to stronger than expected fourth quarter sales that allowed certain customers to
take larger (as a percentage of sales) annual volume discounts than management had estimated during the first three quarters. The interim sales rebate calculations are generally based on projected annual sales.
