3. 1999 Acquisition

On January 29, 1999, the Company acquired Kitchen Craft of Canada, Ltd.
("Kitchen Craft") for a purchase price of approximately $54.2 million. The
transaction was accounted for as a purchase. The accounts and transactions of
Kitchen Craft are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition.

4. Disposal of Fixed Assets

In June 2000, the Company terminated implementation of its Enterprise Resource
and Planning (ERP) system. The Company charged approximately $2.5 million to
selling, general and administrative expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2000
related to the terminated implementation.

5. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income was $3,339,972 and $4,641,195 for the three months ended
July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999, respectively, and $6,527,533 and $7,594,949 for
the six months ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999, respectively.

6. Guarantor and Non-guarantor Subsidiaries

The Company's $100 million senior subordinated notes are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by Panther Transport, Inc. ("Panther"), the Company's
only wholly-owned subsidiary prior to 1999. Separate financial statements or
summarized financial information for Panther have not been presented since its
operations are inconsequential and its accounts and transactions represent less
than 1% of each of the consolidated total assets, liabilities, equity, net
sales, operating income, and net income of the Company. Management believes that
the separate financial statements and summarized financial information of
Panther are not material to investors.

Beginning in fiscal 1999 as a result of the Kitchen Craft acquisition, the
Company also has two wholly-owned subsidiaries which do not guarantee the senior
subordinated notes. These non-guarantor subsidiaries generally comprise the
Kitchen Craft business. Set forth below are consolidating condensed financial
statements as of July 1, 2000 and for the three and six months ended July 1,
2000 and July 3, 1999, which separately reflect Kitchen Craft (amounts in
thousands):

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

General

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended
July 1, 2000 and the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending January 1, 2000.

1999 Kitchen Craft Acquisition

     On January 29, 1999, the Company consummated the acquisition of Kitchen
Craft of Canada, Ltd. ("Kitchen Craft") as further described in the Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The acquisition was accounted for
as a purchase, with Kitchen Craft consolidated with the Company effective from
the acquisition date forward. Accordingly, the Company's results of operations
for the first six months of fiscal 1999 reflect five months of Kitchen Craft
results.

Results of Operations

Net Sales for the three months ended July 1, 2000 ("second quarter 2000") were
$79.7 million compared to $72.0 million for the comparable period in 1999
("second quarter 1999"), an increase of 10.6%. The increase in net sales in the
second quarter 2000 was primarily attributable to strong remodeling sales and
market share growth for Kitchen Craft and Omega partly offset by weakening sales
for the new home market. For the first six months of 2000 ("first half 2000"),
net sales were $153.1 million compared to $132.5 million for the first six
months of 1999 ("first half 1999"), an increase of 15.6%. First half 1999
results included five months of Kitchen Craft results. Second quarter 2000 net
sales for Kitchen Craft were $26.9 million, a 26.9% increase over second quarter
1999 driven primarily by U.S. market share expansion at existing dealers as well
as the impact of new selling locations. First half 2000 net sales for Kitchen
Craft were $50.3 million, an increase of 44.4% compared with first half 1999.
Net sales for the Omega lines (custom and semi-custom cabinetry and bath
vanities) were $25.3 million in the second quarter 2000 compared with $23.3
million for second quarter 1999, a 8.3% increase. Omega custom and semi-custom
net sales increased 30.0% and 7.4%, respectively, driven primarily by additional
selling locations at Home Depot EXPO, Sears' The Great Indoors, and the BKBG
Buying Group, an organization that represents over 150 independent kitchen and
bath dealers. Vanity sales declined 8.6% resulting from Company decisions to
exit various Home Depot stores and other low margin accounts. First half 2000
net sales for the Omega lines were $49.2 million, an increase of 9.4% compared
with first half 1999. HomeCrest stock net sales were $27.5 million for the
second quarter 2000, similar to second quarter 1999. First half 2000 stock sales
were $53.7 million compared to $52.7 million for the first half of 1999, a 1.9%
increase. HomeCrest net sales were unfavorably impacted by the Company's
decision to discontinue the Affinity frameless product offering as well as
softening new home starts. Excluding the Affinity impact, HomeCrest first half
net sales increased 7.0%.

Gross Profit for second quarter 2000 was $22.1 million compared to $21.7 million
for the second quarter 1999, an increase of 1.7%. As a percentage of net sales,
gross profit decreased to 27.7% in the second quarter 2000 from 30.1% in second
quarter 1999 with lower gross margins at every division driven primarily by
higher hardwood prices, employee medical costs, and fuel inflation. HomeCrest's
gross margin decreased to 22.1% in the second quarter 2000 compared to 24.7% in
the second quarter 1999 driven primarily by higher material, employee medical,
and fuel costs. Omega's gross profit decreased to 26.3% in the second quarter
2000 compared to 31.1% in the second quarter 1999 driven primarily by higher
material prices and usage related to Omega's new
<PAGE>

hardwood processing center. Kitchen Craft gross margins decreased to 34.7% in
the second quarter 2000 compared to 36.0% for second quarter 1999 driven
primarily by lower volume and margins at the 13 Company-owned retail stores. For
the first half of 2000, gross profit was $41.3 million compared to $39.0 million
for the first half of 1999, an increase of 5.8%. As a percentage of net sales,
gross profit decreased to 27.0% for the first half of 2000 compared to 29.4% for
the first half of 1999. Gross margins were lower at every division resulting
primarily from inflation related to hardwoods, medical, and fuel as well as
unfavorable labor productivity during first quarter 2000 at HomeCrest and Omega
related to new employee training.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the second quarter 2000 were
$11.8 million compared to $8.4 million for the second quarter 1999, an increase
of 39.5%. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses were 14.8% for the second quarter 2000 compared to 11.7% for the second
quarter 1999. During fiscal June 2000, the Company terminated implementation of
the Baan Enterprise Resource and Planning system at the Omega division resulting
in a $2.5 million pre-tax charge to operations partly offset by a $1.0 million
income tax benefit. Project implementation started during the second quarter
1998 with planned completion by third quarter 1999. During the test phase, the
software proved unable to support Omega's complex product offering. Excluding
this charge, expenses were $9.3 million, an increase of 10.2% compared to second
quarter 1999 and as a percentage of net sales, expenses were 11.7%, similar to
second quarter 1999. For the first half 2000, expenses were $20.7 million
compared to $15.8 million for the first half 1999, an increase of 30.9%.
Excluding the non-recurring software charge, first half 2000 expenses were $18.3
million, an increase of 15.3% compared to the first half 1999 and as a
percentage of net sales, expenses were 11.9% compared to 12.0% for the first
half 1999. In addition to the software write-off, the Company also incurred $0.4
million to participate at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show. The Company
participates once every two years and thus did not incur costs during fiscal
1999.

Interest Expense for second quarter 2000 was $4.5 million compared to $4.4
million for second quarter 1999, a 1.2% increase driven primarily by higher
average interest rates related to senior debt borrowings. For the first half
2000, interest expense was $8.9 million compared to $8.7 million for the first
half 1999, an increase of 1.8%. Higher interest rates were partly offset by
lower borrowings.

Income Taxes for second quarter 2000 were $1.9 million, compared to $3.4 million
for the second quarter 1999. Second quarter 2000 reflected a normalized tax rate
of 39.6% compared to 38.2% in second quarter 1999 resulting from a higher tax
rate at Kitchen Craft. First half 2000 income taxes were $3.9 million, compared
to $5.4 million for the first half of 1999. First half 2000 reflected a
normalized tax rate of 39.4%, compared with 38.4% for the first half of 1999.

Net Income for second quarter 2000 was $2.9 million compared to $5.5 million for
the second quarter 1999, a 46.4% decline related to factors discussed above as
well as an unfavorable $1.0 million pre-tax change in foreign currency
translations. For the first half of 2000, net income was $6.0 million, compared
to $8.7 million for the first half of 1999.

Results of Operations - Pro Forma

     The results discussed above only include Kitchen Craft results since the
January 29, 1999 acquisition. To provide more insight into the underlying
performance of the consolidated group, a pro forma summary for first quarter
2000 and 1999 are shown below treating Kitchen Craft as if it was acquired prior
to 1999.

(1)  EBITDA Margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. EBITDA
     represents income from operations before interest expense (including
     amortization of deferred financing costs), income taxes, depreciation,
     amortization of goodwill, non-cash stock option and warrant expense and
     certain unusual or nonrecurring expenses. EBITDA is presented because it is
     a widely accepted financial indicator of a leveraged company's ability to
     service and/or incur indebtedness and because management believes that
     EBITDA is a relevant measure of the Company's ability to generate cash
     without regard to the Company's capital structure or working capital needs.
     EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used
     by other companies, depending upon the non-cash charges included. When
     evaluating EBITDA investors should consider that EBITDA (i) should not be
     considered in isolation but together with other factors which may influence
     operating and investing activities, such as changes in operating assets and
     liabilities and purchase of property and equipment, (ii) is not measure of
     performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles, (iii) should not be construed as an alternative or substitute
     for income from operations, net income or cash flows from operating
     activities in analyzing the Company's
<PAGE>

     operating performance, financial position or cash flows and (iv) should not
     be used as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as a
     measure of its liquidity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's primary cash needs are working capital, capital expenditures
and debt service. The Company has financed these cash requirements primarily
through internally generated cash flow and funds borrowed under the company's
credit facilities.

     Net cash provided by operating activities for the first half 2000 was $6.3
million compared to $10.6 million for the first half 1999. The decrease of $4.3
million was driven by a $4.3 million net increase in operating assets and
liabilities related to sales growth and $2.7 million lower net income partly
offset by $2.7 million higher non-cash adjustments, such as the Baan software
write-off.

     The Company used cash in investing activities of $5.5 million for the first
half 2000 compared to $60.6 million for the first half 1999, a decrease of $55.1
million. First half 1999 included $54.2 million related to financing of the
Kitchen Craft acquisition and $6.4 million for capital expenditures. Capital
expenditures for first half 2000 were $5.5 million and included a 30,000 square
foot capacity expansion and productivity program at HomeCrest's Goshen, IN
facility.

     Cash used in financing activities was $1.9 million for first half 2000
compared to $50.4 million cash provided by financing activities for first half
1999. This change of $52.3 million was due primarily to financing of the January
1999 Kitchen Craft acquisition and related financing costs.

     The Company's ability to make scheduled payments of principal of, or to pay
the interest or premium, if any, on, or to refinance, its indebtedness, or to
fund planned capital expenditures will depend on its future performance, which,
to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive,
legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond its control. Based
upon the current level of operations, management believes that cash flow from
operations and available cash, together with available borrowings under its bank
loans, will be adequate to meet the Company's anticipated future requirements
for working capital, budgeted capital expenditures and scheduled payments of
principal and interest on its indebtedness for the next several years. There can
be no assurance that the Company's business will generate sufficient cash flow
from operations or that future borrowing will be available under its bank loans
in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to service its indebtedness or
make anticipated capital expenditures.

     At July 1, 2000, the Company's long-term debt consisted of (i) $100.0
million of senior subordinated notes; (ii) a U.S. senior credit facility,
consisting of a $51.1 million term note facility (the "U.S. Term Facility") and
a $20.0 million revolving facility (the "U.S. Revolving Facility"); and (iii) a
Canadian senior credit facility, consisting of a (Cdn) $18.9 million term
facility (the "Canadian Term Facility") and a (Cdn) $15.0 million revolving
facility (the "Canadian Revolving Facility").

     As of July 1, 2000, the Company had additional borrowing availability of
$18.7 million under the U.S. Revolving Facility and (Cdn) $7.5 million under the
Canadian Revolving Facility. In addition, the Company had cash of $1.1 million
that was available to further reduce the U.S. and Canadian Revolving Facilities.
The U.S. Term Facility requires quarterly principal payments that began in April
1999 at $1.0 million per quarter and increasing at each September anniversary.
Subsequent payments will be approximately $1.3 million, $1.4 million, $1.8
million and $2.1 million per quarter during the four quarter periods beginning
September 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively, with $2.6 million payments
due the last two quarters in 2003. Finally, four equal quarterly payments of
$6.1 million will occur during 2004 with the term loan fully amortized on
December 31, 2004. Additional payments are also due each year based on 75% of
the Company's defined excess cash
<PAGE>

flow, if any. In this connection, a $1.1 million excess cash flow payment was
completed during March 2000. The Canadian Term Facility requires quarterly
payments that began in April 1999 at approximately (Cdn) $0.4 million per
quarter and increasing at each anniversary. Subsequent payments will be
approximately (Cdn) $0.5 million, (Cdn) $0.6 million, (Cdn) $0.7 million, (Cdn)
$0.9 million and (Cdn) $2.2 million per quarter during 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003,
and 2004. Both the U.S. and Canadian Term Facilities mature on December 31,
2004. Revolving Facilities will mature on December 26, 2003 and have no
scheduled interim amortization.

Computer Systems and Year 2000

     As described in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 2, 1999, the
Company had developed plans to address potential exposures of its computer
systems related to the Year 2000. Since entering the year 2000, the Company has
not experienced any significant disruptions to its business nor is it aware of
any significant year 2000-related disruptions impacting its customers and
suppliers. Furthermore, the Company did not experience any material impact on
inventories at fiscal year end. The Company will continue to monitor its systems
and operations until it is reasonably assured that no significant business
interruptions will occur as a result of any year 2000 issues.

     Total costs of the Year 2000 project were $2.0 million with no significant
additional expense expected in 2000.

Forward Looking Statements

     When used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the words "believes,"
"anticipates" and similar expressions are used to identify forward looking
statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The Company
wishes to caution readers that the following important factors and others in
some cases have affected and in the future could affect the Company's actual
results and could cause the Company's results for future periods to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward statements made by the Company:
(i) inability to hire and retain adequately trained employees, (ii) economic
conditions in the remodeling and housing markets, (iii) availability of credit,
(iv) increases in interest rates, (v) cost of lumber and other raw materials,
(vi) inability to maintain state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, (vii)
heightened competition, including intensification of price and service
competition, the entry of new competitors and the introduction of new products
by existing competitors, (viii) inability to capitalize on opportunities
presented by industry consolidation, (ix) loss or retirement of key executives
and (x) inability to grow by acquisition of additional cabinetry manufactures or
to effectively consolidate operations of businesses acquired.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.


     The Company is subject to interest rate market risk in connection with its
long-term debt. These financial instruments are entered into for purposes other
than trading. As of July 1, 2000, the Company's debt instruments consisted of
certain obligations which bear a fixed interest rate and others which bear
interest at variable rates. The following table provides information about the
Company's debt instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and
presents the principal cash flows and related interest rates by scheduled
maturity dates (in thousands):

                                        Variable Rate (a)       Fixed Rate (b)

               2001                           8,027                    --
               2002                           9,800                    --
               2003                          18,277                    --
               2004                          30,624                    --
               Thereafter                        --                 100,000
                                            -------                --------
     Total                                  $70,264                $100,000
                                            =======                ========
     Fair value at July 1, 2000             $70,264                $ 92,000

(a)  $27.8 million at LIBOR plus 1.75%, $24.6 million at LIBOR plus 2.00% and
     $17.9 million at Canadian BA rate plus 2.00% (8.32% weighted average at
     July 1, 2000).

(b)  All at 10.5%.

     The Company's interest expense is most sensitive to changes in the general
level of U.S. and certain foreign (LIBOR and Canadian BA) interest rates. In
this regard, changes in such interest rates affect the interest paid on certain
of its debt. To manage the impact of fluctuations in interest rates, the Company
continually monitors and may select a variety of rate options on its
variable-rate debt. In addition, the Company has maintained a majority of its
debt borrowings as fixed-rate debt. Although it has not historically done so,
the Company in the future may consider entering into interest rate swaps or
similar transactions in order to fix certain interest costs on variable-rate
debt.
