NOTES TO UNAUDITED

CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements (the "Financial Statements") include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and partnerships, and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

In our opinion, the Financial Statements contain all material adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements, and footnotes thereto, included in our Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220) (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 amends prior presentation of comprehensive income guidance. ASU 2013-02 requires that we report, in one place, the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. ASU 2013-02 will be effective for the Company during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Our adoption of the provisions of ASU 2013-02 in the first quarter of 2013 did not affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

B.	FAIR VALUE

We apply the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Assets measured at fair value are as follows:

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

	March 30, 2013		March 31, 2012
(in thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)
Recurring:
Money market funds	$	62	$	99
Mutual funds:
Domestic stock funds		653		592
International stock funds		537		494
Target funds		151		139
Bond funds		140		110
Total mutual funds		1,481		1,335

	$	1,543	$	1,434

We maintain money market and mutual funds in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. These funds are valued at prices quoted in an active exchange market and are included in “Other Assets”. We have elected not to apply the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, to any of our financial instruments except for those expressly required by U.S. GAAP.

We did not maintain any Level 2 or 3 assets or liabilities at March 30, 2013 or March 31, 2012.

C.	REVENUE RECOGNITION

Earnings on construction contracts are reflected in operations using percentage-of-completion accounting, under either cost to cost or units of delivery methods, depending on the nature of the business at individual operations. Under percentage-of-completion using the cost to cost method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual costs incurred related to the total estimated costs. Under percentage-of-completion using the units of delivery method, revenues and related earnings on construction contracts are measured by the relationships of actual units produced related to the total number of units. Revisions in earnings estimates on the construction contracts are recorded in the accounting period in which the basis for such revisions becomes known. Projected losses on individual contracts are charged to operations in their entirety when such losses become apparent.

Our construction contracts are generally entered into with a fixed price and completion of the projects can range from 6 to 18 months in duration. Therefore, our operating results are impacted by, among many other things, changes in labor rates and commodity costs. During the quarter, we updated our estimated costs to complete our projects using current labor and commodity costs and as a result of significant increases in these costs, our profits were adversely impacted.

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

The following table presents the balances of percentage-of-completion accounts which are included in “Other current assets” and “Accrued liabilities: Other”, respectively (in thousands):

	March 30, 2013		December 29, 2012		March 31, 2012

Cost and Earnings in Excess of Billings	$	6,660	$	4,981	$	2,752
Billings in Excess of Cost and Earnings		4,189		2,020		1,235

D.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of earnings per share (“EPS”) is as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2013			March 31, 2012
Numerator:
Net earnings attributable to controlling interest	$	5,224		$	4,155
Adjustment for earnings allocated to non-vested restricted common stock		(48	)		(33	)
Net earnings for calculating EPS	$	5,176		$	4,122
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding		19,886			20,033
Adjustment for non-vested restricted common stock		(184	)		(464	)
Shares for calculating basic EPS		19,702			19,569
Effect of dilutive stock options		34			131
Shares for calculating diluted EPS		19,736			19,700
Net earnings per share:
Basic	$	0.26		$	0.21
Diluted	$	0.26		$	0.21

No options were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the quarter ended March 30, 2013.

Options to purchase 10,000 shares were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period and, therefore would be antidilutive.

E.	NET (GAIN) LOSS ON DISPOSITION OF ASSETS, EARLY RETIREMENT AND OTHER IMPAIRMENT AND EXIT CHARGES

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

We have long-lived assets that consist of certain vacant land and facilities we closed to better align manufacturing capacity with the current business environment. The fair values were determined based on broker assessments of value, appraisals or recent offers to acquire assets. These and other idle assets were evaluated based on the requirements of ASC 360, which resulted in impairment and other exit charges included in “Net loss (gain) on disposition of assets, early retirement and other impairment and exit charges” for the quarter ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

F.	COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND GUARANTEES

We are self-insured for environmental impairment liability, including certain liabilities which are insured through a wholly owned subsidiary, Ardellis Insurance Ltd., a licensed captive insurance company.

We own and operate a number of facilities throughout the United States that chemically treat lumber products. In connection with the ownership and operation of these and other real properties, and the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances, we may, under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, be potentially liable for removal and remediation costs, as well as other potential costs, damages, and expenses. Environmental reserves, calculated with no discount rate, have been established to cover remediation activities at our affiliates’ wood preservation facilities in Stockertown, PA; Elizabeth City, NC; Auburndale, FL; Janesville, WI; and Medley, FL. In addition, a reserve was established for our affiliate’s facility in Thornton, CA to remove certain lead containing materials which existed on the property at the time of purchase. During 2009, a subsidiary entered into a consent order with the State of Florida to conduct additional testing at the Auburndale, FL facility. We admitted no liability and the costs are not expected to be material.

On a consolidated basis, we have reserved approximately $3.5 million on March 30, 2013 and $3.4 million on March 31, 2012, representing the estimated costs to complete future remediation efforts. These amounts have not been reduced by an insurance receivable.

In addition, on March 30, 2013, we were parties either as plaintiff or defendant to a number of lawsuits and claims arising through the normal course of our business. In the opinion of management, our consolidated financial statements will not be materially affected by the outcome of these contingencies and claims.

On March 30, 2013, we had outstanding purchase commitments on capital projects of approximately $28.8 million.

We provide a variety of warranties for products we manufacture. Historically, warranty claims have not been material. We distribute products manufactured by other companies, some of which are no longer in business. While we do not warrant these products, we have received claims as a distributor of these products when the manufacturer no longer exists or has the ability to pay. Historically, these costs have not had a material affect on our consolidated financial statements.

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

In certain cases we supply building materials and labor to site-built construction projects or we jointly bid on contracts with framing companies for such projects. In some instances we are required to post payment and performance bonds to insure the owner that the products and installation services are completed in accordance with our contractual obligations. We have agreed to indemnify the surety for claims made against the bonds. As of March 30, 2013, we had approximately $24.3 million in outstanding payment and performance bonds, which expire during the next two years. In addition, approximately $19.7 million in payment and performance bonds are outstanding for completed projects which are still under warranty.

On March 30, 2013, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $28.7 million, primarily related to certain insurance contracts and industrial development revenue bonds described further below.

In lieu of cash deposits, we provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of our insurers to guarantee our performance under certain insurance contracts. We currently have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $18.9 million for these types of insurance arrangements. We have reserves recorded on our balance sheet, in accrued liabilities, that reflect our expected future liabilities under these insurance arrangements.

We are required to provide irrevocable letters of credit in favor of the bond trustees for all of the industrial development revenue bonds that we have issued. These letters of credit guarantee principal and interest payments to the bondholders. We currently have irrevocable letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $9.8 million related to our outstanding industrial development revenue bonds. These letters of credit have varying terms but may be renewed at the option of the issuing banks.

Certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the indebtedness of Universal Forest Products, Inc. in certain debt agreements, including the Series 2012 Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility. The maximum exposure of these guarantees is limited to the indebtedness outstanding under these debt arrangements and this exposure will expire concurrent with the expiration of the debt agreements.

Many of our wood treating operations utilize "Subpart W" drip pads, defined as hazardous waste management units by the EPA. The rules regulating drip pads require that the pad be “closed” at the point that it is no longer intended to be used for wood treating operations or to manage hazardous waste. Closure involves identification and disposal of contaminants which are required to be removed from the facility. The cost of closure is dependent upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, identification and removal of contaminants, cleanup standards that vary from state to state, and the time period over which the cleanup would be completed. Based on our present knowledge of existing circumstances, it is considered probable that these costs will approximate $0.6 million. As a result, this amount is recorded in other long-term liabilities on March 30, 2013.

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

We did not enter into any new guarantee arrangements during the first quarter of 2013 which would require us to recognize a liability on our balance sheet.

H.	SEGMENT REPORTING

ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Our operating segments consist of the Eastern, Western, Site-Built, Consumer Products and Distribution divisions. In accordance with ASC 280, due to the similar economic characteristics, nature of products, distribution methods, and customers, we have aggregated our Eastern and Western operating segments into one reportable segment. The Site-Built division is considered a separate reportable segment. Our other divisions do not collectively form a reportable segment because their respective operations are dissimilar and they do not meet the applicable quantitative requirements. These operations have been included in the “All Other” column of the table below. The “Corporate” column includes unallocated administrative costs.

Certain of these risk factors as well as other risk factors and additional information are included in the Company's reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We are pleased to present this overview of 2013.

OVERVIEW

Our results for the first quarter of 2013 were impacted by the following:

Our sales increased 21% primarily due to an increase in lumber prices. See “Historical Lumber Prices”. Our unit sales increased in four of our five markets, including strong double digit increases in our commercial construction and concrete forming and residential construction markets. Our unit sales to the retail building materials market declined by approximately 10% primarily due to unfavorable weather. We gained market share with retail customers during the quoting process for 2013 business and are optimistic we will report unit sales increases for the balance of the year.

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

National housing starts increased approximately 33% in the period of December 2012 through February 2013 (our sales trail housing starts by about a month), compared to the same period of 2012, while our unit sales increased 22% in the residential construction market. Since the downturn in housing began, suppliers servicing this market have been challenged with significant excess capacity. Consequently, pricing pressure has been intense resulting in several years of operating losses for many industry participants. We have maintained our focus on profitability and cash flow by being selective in the business we take. Consequently, our sales may trail the market from time to time.

Shipments of HUD code manufactured homes were up 3% in January and February 2013, compared to the same period of 2012, which helped drive our 8% increase in unit sales to this market. We also believe modular market activity has improved. We have maintained our share of the manufactured housing market in the core product lines we offer.

·	The acquisition of two new operations since the first quarter of 2012 contributed a 6% increase in sales to our industrial customers.

Our operating profit percentage decreased to 1.6% from 1.7% comparing 2013 to 2012 primarily due to the higher level of lumber prices in the first quarter of 2013. We generally price our products to earn a fixed profit per unit such that lumber costs are passed through to the customer. Therefore, in periods of higher lumber prices our operating profit as a percentage of sales may decrease. See “Historical Lumber Prices”.

·	In the first quarter of 2013, we recognized a tax benefit for research and development and certain other tax credits totaling approximately $700,000 relating to 2012. These tax credits were enacted in the first quarter of 2013, retroactive to the beginning of 2012.

·	Higher lumber prices have resulted in a substantial year over year increase in our working capital and debt levels.

HISTORICAL LUMBER PRICES

IMPACT OF THE LUMBER MARKET ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS

We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers ("Lumber Market"). We generally price our products to pass lumber costs through to our customers so that our profitability is based on the value-added manufacturing, distribution, engineering, and other services we provide. As a result, our sales levels (and working capital requirements) are impacted by the lumber costs of our products. Lumber costs are a significant percentage of our cost of goods sold.

Our gross margins are impacted by (1) the relative level of the Lumber Market (i.e. whether prices are higher or lower from comparative periods), and (2) the trend in the market price of lumber (i.e. whether the price of lumber is increasing or decreasing within a period or from period to period). Moreover, as explained below, our products are priced differently. Some of our products have fixed selling prices, while the selling prices of other products are indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar adder to cover conversion costs and profits. Consequently, the level and trend of the Lumber Market impact our products differently.

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

Below is a general description of the primary ways in which our products are priced.

Products with fixed selling prices. These products include value-added products such as decking and fencing sold to retail building materials customers, as well as trusses, wall panels and other components sold to the residential construction market, and most industrial packaging products. Prices for these products are generally fixed at the time of the sales quotation for a specified period of time or are based upon a specific quantity. In order to maintain margins and reduce any exposure to adverse trends in the price of component lumber products, we attempt to lock in costs with our suppliers for these sales commitments. Also, the time period and quantity limitations generally allow us to re-price our products for changes in lumber costs from our suppliers.

Products with selling prices indexed to the reported Lumber Market with a fixed dollar "adder" to cover conversion costs and profits. These products primarily include treated lumber, remanufactured lumber, and trusses sold to the manufactured housing industry. For these products, we estimate the customers' needs and we carry anticipated levels of inventory. Because lumber costs are incurred in advance of final sale prices, subsequent increases or decreases in the market price of lumber impact our gross margins. For these products, our margins are exposed to changes in the trend of lumber prices. As a result of the decline in the housing market and our sales to residential and commercial builders, a greater percentage of our sales fall into this general pricing category. Consequently, we believe our profitability may be impacted to a much greater extent to changes in the trend of lumber prices.

Changes in the trend of lumber prices have their greatest impact on the following products:

Products with significant inventory levels with low turnover rates, whose selling prices are indexed to the Lumber Market. In other words, the longer the period of time these products remain in inventory, the greater the exposure to changes in the price of lumber. This would include treated lumber, which comprises approximately 15% of our total sales. This exposure is less significant with remanufactured lumber, trusses sold to the manufactured housing market, and other similar products, due to the higher rate of inventory turnover. We attempt to mitigate the risk associated with treated lumber through vendor consignment inventory programs. (Please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.)

Ÿ	Products with fixed selling prices sold under long-term supply arrangements, particularly those involving multi-family construction projects. We attempt to mitigate this risk through our purchasing practices by locking in costs.

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

In addition to the impact of the Lumber Market trends on gross margins, changes in the level of the market cause fluctuations in gross margins when comparing operating results from period to period. This is explained in the following example, which assumes the price of lumber has increased from period one to period two, with no changes in the trend within each period.

	Period 1			Period 2

Lumber cost	$	300		$	400
Conversion cost		50			50
= Product cost		350			450
Adder		50			50
= Sell price	$	400		$	500
Gross margin		12.5	%		10.0	%

As is apparent from the preceding example, the level of lumber prices does not impact our overall profits, but does impact our margins. Gross margins are negatively impacted during periods of high lumber prices; conversely, we experience margin improvement when lumber prices are relatively low.

GROSS SALES

We design, manufacture and market wood and wood-alternative products for national home centers and other retailers, structural lumber and other products for the manufactured housing industry, engineered wood components for residential and commercial construction, and specialty wood packaging, components and packing materials for various industries. Our strategic long-term sales objectives include:

Diversifying our end market sales mix by increasing sales of specialty wood packaging to industrial users, increasing our penetration of the concrete forming market, increasing our sales of engineered wood components for custom home, multi-family, military and light commercial construction, and increasing our market share with independent retailers.

Ÿ	Expanding geographically in our core businesses, domestically and internationally.

Increasing sales of “value-added” products, which primarily consist of fencing, decking, lattice, and other specialty products sold to the retail building materials market, specialty wood packaging, engineered wood components, and “wood alternative” products. Engineered wood components include roof trusses, wall panels, and floor systems. Wood alternative products consist primarily of composite wood and plastics. Although we consider the treatment of dimensional lumber with certain chemical preservatives a value-added process, treated lumber is not presently included in the value-added sales totals.

Ÿ	Developing new products and expanding our product offering for existing customers.

Ÿ	Maximizing unit sales growth while achieving return on investment goals.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our gross sales and percentage change in gross sales by market classification.

Gross sales in the first quarter of 2013 increased 21% compared to the same period of 2012, primarily due to the impact of the higher level of the Lumber Market on our selling prices.

Changes in our gross sales by market are discussed below.

Retail Building Materials:

Gross sales to the retail building materials market increased 5% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period of 2012, primarily due to a 15% increase in selling prices due to higher lumber prices, offset by a 10% decrease in our overall unit sales. Unit sales decreased primarily due to the weather in the first quarter of 2013. Within this market, sales to our big box customers decreased 4% while our sales to other retailers increased 16%. We gained market share with retail customers during the quoting process for 2013 business and are optimistic we will report unit sales increases for the balance of the year.

Industrial:

Gross sales to the industrial market increased 20% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period of 2013, resulting from a 15% increase in selling prices due to the Lumber Market and a 5% increase in unit sales. We acquired two new operations which contributed all of our growth in unit sales.

Manufactured Housing:

Gross sales to the manufactured housing market increased 43% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to a 35% increase in selling prices due to the Lumber Market and an 8% increase in unit sales. Shipments of HUD-code homes in January and February 2013 were up 3% compared to 2012 and we believe modular market activity also increased.

Residential Construction:

Gross sales to the residential construction market increased 43% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period of 2012 due to an increase in lumber prices and a 22% increase in our unit sales. By comparison, national housing starts increased approximately 33% in the period of December 2012 through February 2013 (our sales trail housing starts by about a month), compared to the same period of 2012. Our sales growth may trail the market due to our focus on profitability and cash flow as this market is still challenged with excess capacity.

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

Commercial Construction and Concrete Forming:

Gross sales to the commercial construction and concrete forming market increased 54% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period of 2012. Within this market, sales to commercial builders increased 97% and sales of products used to make concrete forms increased 31%.

Value-Added and Commodity-Based Sales:

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our percentage of value-added and commodity-based sales to total sales. Value-added products generally carry higher gross margins than our commodity-based products.

	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2013			March 31, 2012

Value-Added		57.1	%		58.9	%
Commodity-Based		42.9	%		41.1	%

COST OF GOODS SOLD AND GROSS PROFIT

Our gross profit percentage decreased to 10.3% from 11.7% comparing the first quarter of 2013 to the same period of 2012. Our gross profit dollars increased by 7%, which is better than our 2% increase in unit sales. Our lower gross profit percentage in 2013 reflects the impact the higher level of the Lumber Market this year compared to 2012. The improvement in our profitability per unit reflects the benefit of selling into a rising Lumber Market during the quarter for most of our products. This benefit was offset to some extent by the impact of rising lumber and labor costs in our turnkey framing operations. See Historical Lumber Prices.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by approximately $2.5 million, or 5.4%, in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period of 2012, while we reported a 2% increase in unit sales. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to increases in compensation and related expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense.

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

NET (GAIN) LOSS ON DISPOSITION OF ASSETS, EARLY RETIREMENT AND OTHER IMPAIRMENT AND EXIT CHARGES

In the first quarter of 2013, we had net gains on the sale or disposal of real estate and other property, plant and equipment totaling approximately $0.1 million. In the first quarter of 2012, we incurred approximately $0.1 million of severance costs.

We regularly review the performance of each our operations and make decisions to permanently or temporarily close operations based on a variety of factors including:

·	Current and projected earnings, cash flow and return on investment

·	Current and projected market demand

·	Market share

·	Competitive factors

·	Future growth opportunities

·	Personnel and management

We currently have 17 operations which are experiencing operating losses and negative cash flow for the first quarter of 2013. The net book value of the long-lived assets of these operations, which could be subject to an impairment charge in the future, was $24.9 million as of March 30, 2013. In addition, these operations had future fixed operating lease payments totaling $1.8 million as of March 30, 2013.

INTEREST, NET

Net interest costs were higher in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period of 2012, due to higher debt levels in 2013 resulting from the impact of higher lumber prices on working capital.

INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to provisions for state and local income taxes and permanent tax differences. Our effective tax rate was 28.1% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 38.1% for same period of 2012. The decrease in our effective tax rate is primarily due to research and development and certain other tax credits, primarily R&D, related to 2012 which Congress approved in 2013.

Eastern and Western

Net sales to the Eastern and Western reportable segment increased in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 due to increased lumber prices and:

An increase in sales to the residential construction market due to an increase in housing starts.

An increase in commercial construction and concrete forming sales primarily due to market share gains.

An increase in manufactured housing sales due to an increase in industry production of HUD code homes.

Recently acquired businesses that serve the industrial market.

Operating profit for the Eastern and Western reportable segment increased in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to selling into a rising lumber market for much of the first quarter of 2013.

Site-Built

Net sales to the Site-Built reportable segment increased in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to increased lumber prices and an increase in housing starts. Operating profit for the Site-Built reportable segment decreased in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to the impact of rising commodity and labor costs on construction contracts sold with a fixed price.

All Other

Net sales to all other segments increased 19% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to lumber prices and:

An increase in sales to the manufactured housing market by our UFP Distribution operations, primarily due to an increase in industry production of HUD code homes and market share gains from adding new product lines.

An increase in sales to the industrial market by our Universal Pinelli partnership, which manufactures moulding and millwork products out of its plant in Durango, Durango Mexico.

Table of Contents

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

Operating profit for all other segments increased in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to improved profitability of our Universal Consumer Products operations resulting from operational improvements and Pinelli Universal partnership due to rising lumber prices. These factors were offset by additional development associated with our new Eovations product line.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS

We have no significant off-balance sheet transactions other than operating leases.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, a summary of our cash flow statement (in thousands):

Cash overdraft, end of period	$	( 7,665	)	$	(4,935	)

In general, we financed our growth in the past through a combination of operating cash flows, our revolving credit facility, industrial development bonds (when circumstances permit), and issuance of long-term notes payable at times when interest rates are favorable. We have not issued equity to finance growth except in the case of a large acquisition. We manage our capital structure by attempting to maintain a targeted ratio of debt to equity and debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe this is one of many important factors to maintaining a strong credit profile, which in turn helps ensure timely access to capital when needed. We are currently below our internal targets and plan to manage our capital structure conservatively in light of current economic conditions.

Seasonality has a significant impact on our working capital from March to August which historically results in negative or modest cash flows from operations in our first and second quarters. Conversely, we experience a substantial decrease in working capital from September to February which typically results in significant cash flow from operations in our third and fourth quarters. In 2013, higher lumber prices caused our investment in accounts receivable and inventory to increase substantially, mitigating the favorable impact on cash flow in the third and fourth quarters that we would typically experience from seasonality. For comparative purposes, we have included the March 31, 2012 balances in the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets.

UNIVERSAL FOREST PRODUCTS, INC.

Due to the seasonality of our business and the effects of the Lumber Market, we believe our cash cycle (days of sales outstanding plus days supply of inventory less days payables outstanding) is a good indicator of our working capital management. Our cash cycle increased to 55 days in the first three months of 2013 from 51 days in the first three months of 2012, due to a 2 day increase in our days supply of inventory, combined with a 2 day decrease in our days payable outstanding. In 2013, retail demand and weather were poor, resulting in weaker than expected unit sales and lower inventory turnover. Conversely, in 2012, consumer demand and weather were unexpectedly good resulting in strong sales increases and higher inventory turnover.

Cash used in operating activities was $64.5 million in the first three months of 2013, which was comprised of net earnings of $5.8 million and $8.3 million of non-cash expenses, offset by a $78.6 million increase in working capital since the end of 2012. Working capital at the end of March 2013 is higher than the end of March 2012 primarily due to the impact of higher lumber prices.

Capital expenditures were $8.1 million in the first three months of 2013. We currently plan to spend up to $40 million in 2013, which includes outstanding purchase commitments on existing capital projects totaling approximately $28.8 million on March 30, 2013, primarily for expansion to support new product offerings and sales growth into new geographic markets. We intend to fund capital expenditures and purchase commitments through our operating cash flows for the balance of the year.

Cash flows used in investing activities also included $8.6 million spent to acquire assets of Custom Caseworks, Inc. and Millry Mill Company, Inc. See Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Note G “Business Combinations”.

On March 30, 2013, we had $70.5 million outstanding on our $265 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility also supports letters of credit totaling approximately $28.7 million on March 30, 2013. Financial covenants on the unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured notes include minimum interest tests and a maximum leverage ratio. The agreements also restrict the amount of additional indebtedness we may incur and the amount of assets which may be sold. We were in compliance with all of our covenant requirements on March 30, 2013.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations. We continually review our accounting policies and financial information disclosures. There have been no material changes in our policies or estimates since December 29, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt, which consists of a revolving credit facility and industrial development revenue bonds. We do not currently use interest rate swaps, futures contracts or options on futures, or other types of derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value, but not earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not influence fair market value, but do affect future earnings and cash flows. We do not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity, and as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on such debt until we would be required to refinance it.

We are subject to fluctuations in the price of lumber. We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers (the "Lumber Market"). A variety of factors over which we have no control, including government regulations, transportation, environmental regulations, weather conditions, economic conditions, and natural disasters, impact the cost of lumber products and our selling prices. While we attempt to minimize our risk from severe price fluctuations, substantial, prolonged trends in lumber prices can affect our sales volume, our gross margins, and our profitability. We anticipate that these fluctuations will continue in the future. (See “Impact of the Lumber Market on Our Operating Results.”)

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. With the participation of management, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15e and 15d – 15e) as of the quarter ended March 30, 2013 (the “Evaluation Date”), have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b)	Changes in Internal Controls. During the quarter ended March 30, 2013, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

CCA Treated Lumber Products. In connection with the chemical treatment of lumber products, certain of our affiliates market a modest amount of CCA (Chromated Copper Arsenate) treated products for permitted, non-residential applications. From time to time, various special interests and environmental groups have petitioned certain states requesting restrictions on the use or disposal of CCA treated products. The wood preservation industry trade groups have been and are working with individual states and the regulatory agencies to provide an accurate, factual background that demonstrates that the present method of uses and disposal is scientifically supported. While the level of activity in this area has diminished over time, our inability to market CCA treated products could impact our operations adversely.
