PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Company Overview

Patrick Industries, Inc. (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “Patrick”), which was founded in 1959 and incorporated in Indiana in 1961, is a major manufacturer and distributor of building products and materials to the recreational vehicle (“RV”) and manufactured housing (“MH”) industries. In addition, we are a supplier to certain other industrial markets, such as kitchen cabinet, household furniture, fixtures and commercial furnishings, marine, and other industrial markets. We manufacture a variety of products including decorative vinyl and paper panels, wrapped moldings, interior passage doors, cabinet doors and components, slotwall and slotwall components, and countertops.

We are also an independent wholesale distributor of pre-finished wall and ceiling panels, drywall and drywall finishing products, electronics, adhesives, cement siding, interior passage doors, roofing products, laminate flooring, and other miscellaneous products. We have a nationwide network of manufacturing and distribution centers for our products, thereby reducing in-transit delivery time and cost to the regional manufacturing plants of our customers. We believe that we are one of the few suppliers to the RV and MH industries that has such a nationwide network. We maintain three manufacturing plants and two distribution facilities near our principal offices in Elkhart, Indiana, and operate nine other warehouse and distribution centers and eight other manufacturing plants in eleven other states.

Beginning in 2007 in conjunction with the acquisition of Adorn Holdings, Inc. (“Adorn”) and continuing throughout 2008 and 2009, we explored, initiated and completed a number of cost reduction and efficiency improvements designed to address the downturn in general worldwide economic conditions that adversely affected demand for our products and services and to leverage our position to drive future growth. These improvements included the restructuring and integration of operations, consolidation of facilities, disposition of non-core operations, streamlining of administrative and support activities, and the reduction of inventory levels. The Company also continued to enhance its products and services through the integration of new and expanded product lines designed to create additional scale advantages and offer both increased breadth and depth of products and services. In the Executive Summary section of Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” we provide an overview of the impact that the deterioration in macroeconomic conditions had on our operations and in the RV, MH, and residential housing industries in 2009.

We completed the divestitures of certain non-core businesses in 2009, including American Hardwoods, Inc. (“American Hardwoods”) and our aluminum extrusion operation. See “Strategic Divestitures” below and Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for further details.

Patrick had three reportable business segments in 2009 (based on continuing operations): Primary Manufactured Products, Distribution, and Other Component Manufactured Products. Financial information about Patrick’s three segments is included in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Competition

The RV and MH industries are highly competitive with low barriers to entry. This level of competition carries through to the suppliers to these industries. Across the Company’s range of products and services, competition exists primarily on price, product features, quality, and service. We have several competitors that compete with us on a regional and local basis. In order for a competitor to compete with us on a national basis, we believe that a substantial capital commitment and investment in personnel would be required. The other industrial markets in which we continue to expand are also highly competitive. In 2009, declining sales volumes and the depressed economic conditions in the MH and industrial markets we serve caused extreme pricing pressure on certain products as supply outweighed demand. We believe that there may be further volatility in the markets we serve in 2010 before a sustained recovery takes hold. Given this environment, the Company has identified several operating strategies to maintain or enhance earnings through productivity and fixed cost reduction initiatives, expansion into new product lines, and optimization of capacity utilization.

Strategy

Overview

We believe that we have developed quality-working relationships with our customers and suppliers, and have oriented our business to the needs of these customers. These customers include all of the larger RV and MH manufacturers and a number of large to medium-sized industrial customers. Our industrial customers generally are directly linked to the residential housing markets. Our RV and MH customers generally demand the lowest competitive prices, high quality standards, short lead times, and a high degree of flexibility from their suppliers. Our industrial customers generally are less price sensitive than our RV and MH customers, and more focused on quality customer service and quick response time. Consequently, we have focused our efforts on maintaining and improving the quality of our manufactured products, developing a nationwide manufacturing and distribution presence in response to our customers’ needs for flexibility and short lead times, and prioritizing the implementation of lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement in all of our facilities including our corporate office. Additionally, because of the short lead times, which range from 24 hours to same day order receipt and delivery, we have intensified our focus on reducing our inventory levels with the help of some of our key suppliers with vendor managed inventory programs. These initiatives have been instrumental in improving our operating cash flow and liquidity. As we explore new markets and industries, we believe that these and other strategic initiatives provide us with a strong foundation for future growth. In 2009, approximately 44% of our sales were to the RV industry, 37% to the MH industry, and 19% to the industrial and other markets. In 2008, approximately 37% of our sales were to the RV industry, 45% to the MH industry, and 18% to the industrial and other markets.

Operating Strategies

Key operating strategies identified by management, include the following:

Strategic Acquisitions, Expansion and Restructuring

We supply a broad variety of building material products and, with our nationwide manufacturing and distribution capabilities, we believe that we are well positioned for the introduction of new products. We, from time to time, consider the acquisition of additional product lines, facilities, companies with a strategic fit, or other assets to complement or expand our existing businesses.

In May 2007, we purchased all of the outstanding stock of Adorn, an Elkhart, Indiana-based major manufacturer and supplier to the RV, MH and industrial markets, for $78.8 million. This acquisition represented the largest acquisition in our history, virtually doubled our manufacturing revenues, and immediately strengthened our market position and presence in the major industries that we serve. The consolidation of Adorn into Patrick afforded us many opportunities to realize synergies through facility rationalization, headcount reduction, vendor consolidation, and the implementation of best practices. In January 2010, we completed our first acquisition since we acquired Adorn with the acquisition of a cabinet door business.

In the third quarter of 2008, the completion of our restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) to integrate Adorn with our existing businesses, resulted in cumulative pretax charges totaling approximately $3.3 million. Expenses associated with the Restructuring Plan included the closure of duplicate facilities, severance related to the elimination of redundant jobs, and various asset write-downs related to the consolidation of product lines. We have realized, and expect to continue to realize, synergy savings from this acquisition on a go-forward basis.

While operating under depressed market and economic conditions throughout 2009, we focused our attention on fixed cost and debt reduction initiatives in order to reduce our leverage ratio, maintain operating cash flow, meet the covenants under our credit agreement and maximize efficiencies from the consolidation of Adorn into Patrick.

Strategic Divestitures

In an effort to strategically align our current operations with businesses within our core competencies, reduce overall fixed costs, and reduce our leverage position, we have explored and will continue to explore various alternatives for the divestiture of certain unprofitable, non-core operations. In 2008, we identified our American Hardwoods and aluminum extrusion operations as non-core operations and reclassified the carrying values of the assets of American Hardwoods and the aluminum extrusion operation to assets held for sale. The decision to divest these two operations was largely based on projected and potential operating losses under the current operating model and working capital requirements of these operations that forced us to assess the overall fit of these operations within the parameters of our strategic plan. The financial results of these operations were classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements and all prior period operating results have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Sale of American Hardwoods, Inc. Operation/Building

In January 2009, the Company sold certain assets and the business of the American Hardwoods operation for cash consideration of $2 million and entered into a separate real estate purchase agreement with the buyer to sell the building that housed this operation for a purchase price of $2.5 million. Accordingly, the Company reclassified approximately $2.5 million of carrying value for this property to assets held for sale in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2008. The building and property were sold in June 2009 for a purchase price of $2.5 million. The pretax loss from operations was $19,000 and $0.5 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The net pretax gain on the sale of the American Hardwoods operation was $0.2 million in 2009. Estimated pretax charges of approximately $1.0 million, which primarily reflected the write down to fair market value of real estate and inventories, were included in discontinued operations in 2008. Previously, the financial results of American Hardwoods had been included in the Distribution segment.

Sale of Aluminum Extrusion Operation

In July 2009, the Company sold certain assets of its aluminum extrusion operation. The purchase price resulted in net cash proceeds of $7.4 million and the assumption by the buyer of approximately $2.2 million of certain accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The net pretax gain on the sale of the aluminum extrusion operation was $0.5 million in 2009. Estimated pretax charges of approximately $5.0 million associated with the divesture were reflected in discontinued operations in 2008 and primarily reflected the write down to fair market value of inventories, real estate and fixed assets. Pretax income from operations was $0.8 million in 2009 and the pretax loss from operations was $1.2 million in 2008. Previously, the financial results of this operation comprised the entire Engineered Solutions business segment.

Diversification into Other Markets

While we continually seek to improve our position as a leading supplier to the RV and MH industries and have substantially increased our presence in these markets through the acquisition of Adorn in 2007, we are also seeking to expand our product lines into other industrial, commercial and institutional markets. Many of our products, such as countertops, cabinet doors, laminated panels, slotwall, and shelving, have applications in the kitchen cabinet, household furniture, and architectural markets. We have a dedicated sales force focused on increasing our industrial market penetration and on our diversification into additional commercial and institutional markets.

We believe that diversification into other industrial markets provides opportunities for improved operating margins with products that are complementary in nature to our current manufacturing processes. In addition, we believe that our nationwide manufacturing and distribution capabilities enable us to position ourselves for new product expansion.

Utilization of Manufacturing Capacity

Efficiency Optimization

The acquisition and consolidation of Adorn into Patrick allowed us to increase capacity utilization at all of our consolidated manufacturing facilities. While we increased capacity utilization as a result of our facility consolidations, the decline in volume levels due to soft industry conditions in all of the major end markets we serve has resulted in unused capacity at almost all of our locations. We have the ability to substantially increase volumes in almost all of our existing facilities without adding comparable incremental fixed costs. With the expected continued weak economic conditions in certain parts of the country, we are continually exploring opportunities for further facility consolidation. Additionally, we are focused on cross-training all of our manufacturing work force in our manufacturing cells within each facility to maximize our efficiencies and increase the flexibility of our labor force.

Plant Consolidations / Closures and Division Changes

In 2009, we consolidated and closed certain manufacturing and distribution facilities in an effort to align operating costs with our revenue base and keep our overhead structure at a level consistent with operating needs, particularly given the overall soft economic conditions experienced during the year.

In December 2008, the Company decided to close its leased distribution facility in Woodland, California and consolidate operations into the existing owned Fontana, California manufacturing facility in order to offset a sizable reduction in sales volumes that stemmed from the planned closure of one of our major customers’ plants in the same area. The consolidation was completed in January 2009.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company entered into a listing agreement to sell its custom vinyls manufacturing facility in Ocala, Florida. We originally anticipated that the sale of this facility would not be completed until 2010 due to unfavorable real estate market conditions, and therefore the property’s carrying value was not included in assets held for sale as of December 31, 2008. However, this facility was sold in late December 2009 for $1.6 million resulting in a pretax gain on sale of $1.2 million. The Ocala operations were consolidated into the Company’s Alabama and Georgia facilities.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company entered into a listing agreement to sell its manufacturing and distribution facility in Woodburn, Oregon. Approximately $3.2 million of carrying value for this facility was reclassified to assets held for sale as of December 31, 2009. The Oregon facility was subsequently sold in February 2010 for $4.2 million and the Company anticipates recording a pretax gain on sale of approximately $0.8 million in its first quarter 2010 operating results. The Company is currently operating in the same facility under a license agreement with the purchaser while it explores options for a more suitable long-term solution.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company entered into a listing agreement to sell its remaining manufacturing and distribution facility in Fontana, California. The Company reclassified approximately $1.6 million of carrying value for this facility to assets held for sale in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. In March 2010, this facility was sold and the Company anticipates recording a pretax gain on sale of approximately $2.0 million in its first quarter 2010 operating results. The Company is currently operating in the same facility under a lease agreement with the purchaser for the use of approximately one-half of the square footage previously occupied.

Product Development and New Product Introductions/Discontinuations

With our versatile manufacturing and distribution capabilities, we are continually striving to increase our market presence in all of the markets that we serve and gain entrance into other potential markets. We remain committed to new product development and introduction initiatives. New product development is critical to growing our revenue base, keeping up with changing market conditions, and proactively addressing customer demand. We plan to continue to devote our time and attention to manufacturing and distribution products that fit within the strategic parameters of our current business model including appropriate margin and inventory turn levels.

To further enhance our product offerings to marine and RV customers, we established new relationships with several vendors to distribute a complete line of audio/video source units, televisions and microwaves to the marine, RV and recreational product markets. This newly formed electronics division within our Distribution segment was launched in the first quarter of 2009. In addition to line extensions of certain products in 2009, we expanded our distribution line to include adhesives and a new laminate flooring product line. We also began to manufacture interior passage doors to complement our existing door product line.

In early 2009, we discontinued certain distribution product lines including our line of resilient flooring products, a ceramic tile line, and the hardwood products associated with the American Hardwoods operation.

Principal Products

Through our manufacturing divisions, we manufacture a variety of products including decorative vinyl and paper panels, wrapped moldings, stiles and battens, hardwood, foil and membrane pressed cabinet doors, drawer sides and bottoms, interior passage doors, slotwall and slotwall components, components for electronic desks, and countertops. In conjunction with our manufacturing capabilities, we also provide value added processes, including custom fabrication, edge-banding, drilling, boring, and cut-to-size capabilities.

We distribute pre-finished wall and ceiling panels, drywall and drywall finishing products, electronics, adhesives, cement siding, interior passage doors, roofing products, laminate flooring, and other miscellaneous products.

Manufactured laminated panels contributed 49%, 45% and 39% of total sales for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Pre-finished wall panels and finishing products contributed 8%, 8%, and 10% of total sales for the comparable periods in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The electronics division within our Distribution segment (launched in the first quarter of 2009), contributed 4% of total sales for the year ended December 31, 2009.

We have no material patents, licenses, franchises, or concessions and do not conduct significant research and development activities.

Manufacturing Processes and Operations

Our primary manufacturing facilities utilize various materials including gypsum, particleboard, plywood and fiberboard, which are bonded by adhesives or a heating process to a number of products, including vinyl, paper, foil

and high-pressure laminate. Additionally, we offer high-pressure laminate laminated to substrates such as particleboard and lauan which has many uses, including counter tops and ambulance cabinetry. We manufacture laminate countertops and solid surface countertops, as well as slotwall and slotwall components for the store and office fixture markets. Laminated products are used in the production of wall, cabinet, shelving, counter and fixture products with a wide variety of finishes and textures.

We manufacture three distinct cabinet door product lines in both raised and flat panel designs, as well as square, shaker style, cathedral and arched panels. One product line is manufactured from raw lumber using solid oak, maple, cherry and other hardwood materials. Another line of doors is made of laminated fiberboard, and a third line uses membrane press technology to produce doors and components with vinyls ranging from 2 mil to 14 mil in thickness. Several outside profiles are available on square, shaker style, cathedral, and arched raised panel doors and the components include rosettes, hardwood moulding, arched window trim, blocks and windowsills, among others. Our doors are sold mainly to the RV and MH industries. We also market to the cabinet manufacturers and “ready-to-assemble” furniture manufacturers.

Our vinyl printing facility produces a wide variety of decorative vinyls which are 4 mil in thickness and are shipped in rolls ranging from 300-750 yards in length. This facility produces material for both internal and external use.

Markets

We are engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of building products and material for use primarily by the RV and MH industries, and in other industrial markets.

The current downturn in the economy in general and the residential housing market has had an adverse impact on our operations in 2009 in the three primary industries in which we operate. On the RV side, the economic downturn in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first half of 2009 severely impacted shipment levels, however, production levels were stronger than expected based on a higher demand for RV’s by retail dealers in the latter half of 2009. The MH industry continues to be negatively impacted by financing concerns and a lack of available financing sources, and the current credit situation in the residential housing market puts additional pressure on consumers, who are generally using financial institutions and conventional financing as a source for these purchases. We expect the overall declines experienced in the MH and industrial markets in 2009 to continue into the first half of 2010. Recreational vehicle purchases are generally consumer discretionary income purchases, and therefore any situation which causes concerns related to discretionary income has a negative impact on these markets. Approximately 70% of our industrial revenue base is associated with the U.S. residential housing market, and therefore there is a direct correlation between the demand for our products in this market and new residential housing production.

Recreational Vehicles

The recreational vehicle industry has been characterized by cycles of growth and contraction in consumer demand reflecting prevailing general economic conditions which affect disposable income for leisure time activities. We believe that fluctuations in interest rates, consumer confidence, and concerns about the availability and price of gasoline have an impact on RV sales.

Demographic and ownership trends continue to point to favorable market growth in the long-term as the number of “baby-boomers” reaching retirement is steadily increasing, products such as sports-utility RV’s are becoming attractive to younger buyers, and RV manufacturers are also providing an array of product choices including producing lightweight towables and smaller, fuel efficient motorhomes. Green technologies including lightweight composite materials, solar panels, and energy-efficient components are appearing on an increasing number of RVs. In addition, federal economic credit and stimulus packages that contain provisions to stimulate RV lending and provide favorable tax treatment for new RV purchases, may help promote sales and aid in the RV industry’s economic recovery.

Recreational vehicle classifications are based upon standards established by the RVIA. The principal types of recreational vehicles include conventional travel trailers, folding camping trailers, fifth wheel trailers, motor homes, and conversion vehicles. These recreational vehicles are distinct from mobile homes, which are manufactured houses designed for permanent and semi-permanent residential dwelling.

Conventional travel trailers and folding camping trailers are non-motorized vehicles designed to be towed by passenger automobiles, pick-up trucks, or vans. They provide comfortable, self-contained living facilities for short periods of time. Conventional travel trailers and folding camping trailers are towed by means of a frame hitch attached to the towing vehicle. Fifth wheel trailers, designed to be towed by pick-up trucks, are constructed with a raised forward section that is attached to the bed area of the pick-up truck. This allows for a bi-level floor plan and more living space than a conventional travel trailer.

A motor home is a self-powered vehicle built on a motor vehicle chassis. The interior typically includes a driver’s area, kitchen, bathroom, dining, and sleeping areas. Motor homes are self-contained with their own lighting, heating, cooking, refrigeration, sewage holding, and water storage facilities. Although they are not designed for permanent or semi-permanent living, motor homes do provide comfortable living facilities for short periods of time.

Sales of recreational vehicle products have been cyclical. Shortages of motor vehicle fuels and significant increases in fuel prices have had a material adverse effect on the market for recreational vehicles in the past, and could adversely affect demand in the future. The RV industry is also affected by the availability and terms of financing to dealers and retail purchasers. Substantial increases in interest rates and decreases in the general availability of credit have had a negative impact upon the industry in the past and may do so in the future. Recession and lack of consumer confidence generally result in a decrease in the sale of leisure time products such as recreational vehicles.

Since 1998, industry-wide wholesale unit shipments of RV’s have declined 43%. The period beginning in 1999 and continuing through 2007 resulted in eight out of the nine years with shipment levels over 300,000 units primarily due to the favorable demographic trend of the aging “baby-boomer” population, improved consumer confidence, depleted dealer inventories, lower interest rates, and a fear of flying after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Shipment levels started to soften in the third and fourth quarters of 2006 and into 2007. In 2008, shipment levels declined approximately 33% to 237,000 units reflecting the tightest credit conditions in several decades, declining consumer confidence, reduced disposable income levels, and the generally depressed economic environment. In 2009, shipment levels declined approximately 30% versus 2008, reflecting low consumer confidence and the continuance of unfavorable market conditions experienced by the industry in 2008. However, production levels in the RV industry were stronger than expected in the latter half of 2009 based on a higher demand for RV’s by retail dealers.

In anticipation of continued strengthening short-term demand, the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (the “RVIA”) is currently forecasting a 30% increase in full year 2010 wholesale unit shipments to 215,900 units compared to the full year 2009 level citing an improvement in dealer demand (as evidenced in the second half of 2009) and an increase in capacity by certain new and existing manufacturers that have also added to their workforce. According to the RVIA, the recovery is expected to strengthen as credit availability, job security and consumer confidence improve.

The Company estimates that approximately 85% of its revenues related to the RV industry are derived from the towables sector of the market. In 2009, the towables sector of the RV market represented approximately 92% of total units shipped into the market as a whole. The towable units are lighter and less expensive than standard gas or diesel powered units representing a more attractive solution for the cost-conscious buyer. From 2008 to 2009, motorized unit shipments declined approximately 53% and towable unit shipments declined approximately 27%. We believe that we are well positioned with respect to our product mix within the RV industry to take advantage of any improved market conditions.

The following chart reflects the historical wholesale unit shipment levels in the RV industry from 1998 through 2009 per RVIA statistics:

Manufactured Housing

Manufactured homes traditionally have been one of the principal means for first time homebuyers to overcome the obstacles of large down payments and higher monthly mortgage payments due to the relative lower cost of construction as compared to site built homes. Manufactured housing also presents an affordable alternative to site built homes for retirees and others desiring a lifestyle in which home ownership is less burdensome than in the case of site built homes. The increase in square footage of living space and updated modern designs in manufactured homes created by multi-sectional models has made them more attractive to a larger segment of homebuyers.

Manufactured homes are built in accordance with national, state and local building codes. Manufactured homes are factory built and transported to a site where they are installed, often permanently. Some manufactured homes have design limitations imposed by the constraints of efficient production and over-the-road transit. Delivery expense limits the effective competitive shipping range of the manufactured homes to approximately 400 to 600 miles.

Modular homes, which are a component of the manufactured housing industry, are factory built homes that are built in sections and transported to the site for installation. These homes are generally set on a foundation and are subject to land/home-financing terms and conditions. In recent years, these units have been gaining in popularity due to their aesthetic similarity to site-built homes and their relatively less expensive cost.

The manufactured housing industry is cyclical and is affected by the availability of alternative housing, such as apartments, town houses, condominiums and site-built housing. In addition, interest rates, availability of financing, regional population, employment trends, and general regional economic conditions affect the sale of manufactured homes. Since 1998, industry-wide wholesale unit shipments of manufactured homes have declined 87%. The 2009 level of 49,800 wholesale units was at the lowest level in the last 50 years. MH unit shipments declined approximately 39% when compared to 2008. Factors that may favorably impact production levels in this industry include quality credit standards in the residential housing market, job growth, favorable changes in financing laws, new tax credits for new home buyers and other government incentives, a lack of residential housing inventory, and rising interest rates that make traditional site built homes more expensive to finance. The Company currently estimates MH unit shipments for full year 2010 to decline approximately 2% compared to full year 2009 levels.

We believe that the factors responsible for the past decade-plus decline include lack of available financing and access to the asset-backed securities markets, high vacancy rates in apartments, high levels of repossessed housing inventories, over-built housing markets in certain regions of the country that resulted in fewer sales of new manufactured homes, as well as the generally depressed economic environment. Additionally, low conventional mortgage rates and less restrictive lending terms for residential site built housing over much of this period contributed to the decline as manufactured home loans generally carry a higher interest rate and less competitive terms. Beginning in mid-1999 and continuing through 2009, the MH industry has also had to contend with credit requirements that became more stringent and a reduction in availability of lenders for manufactured homes for both retail and dealers. While there is demand for permanent rebuilding in the hurricane damaged areas, credit conditions remain adverse especially in conjunction with the current credit crisis, and current overall economic conditions are not

favorable in relation to the factors which will promote positive growth. The availability of financing and access to the asset-backed securities market is still restricted, and we believe that employment growth and standard quality-oriented lending practices in the conventional site-built housing markets are needed to enable more balanced demand, thus resulting in the potential for increased production and shipment levels in the MH industry.

The following chart reflects the historical wholesale unit shipment levels in the MH industry from 1998 through 2009 per the Manufactured Housing Institute:

Other Markets

Many of our core manufacturing products, including paper/vinyl laminated panels, shelving, drawer-sides, and high-pressure laminated panels are routinely utilized in the kitchen cabinet, store fixture and commercial furnishings, and residential furniture markets. These markets are generally categorized by a more performance than price driven customer base, and provide an opportunity for us to diversify our clientele while providing increased contribution to our core laminating and fabricating competencies. While the residential furniture markets have been severely impacted by import pressures, other segments have been less vulnerable, and therefore provide opportunities for increased sales penetration and market share gains. While demand for our products in the residential market has been adversely impacted by the severe housing downturn, long-term growth in the residential market will be based on improved job growth, low interest rates, and continuing government incentives to stimulate housing demand and reduce surplus inventory due to foreclosures, which we believe will ultimately increase the demand for our products.

Demand in the industrial markets in which the Company competes also fluctuates with economic cycles. Industrial demand tends to lag the housing cycle by six to twelve months, and will vary based on differences in regional economic prospects. As a result, we believe continued focus on the industrial markets will help moderate the impact of the cyclical patterns in the RV/MH markets on our operating results. We have the available capacity to increase industrial revenue and benefit from the diversity of multiple market segments, unique regional economies and varied customer strategies.

Marketing and Distribution

Our sales are to recreational vehicle and manufactured housing manufacturers and other industrial products manufacturers. We have approximately 1,000 customers. We have five customers, who together accounted for approximately 53% and 44% of our total sales in 2009 and 2008, respectively. We believe we have good relationships with our customers.

Sales to three different customers accounted for approximately 21%, 14% and 12%, respectively, of consolidated net sales of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2009. Sales to two different customers accounted for approximately 13.1% and 11.5%, respectively, of consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2008. No one customer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Most products for distribution are generally purchased in carload or truckload quantities, warehoused, and then sold and delivered by us. In addition, approximately 45% and 33% of our distribution segment’s products were shipped directly from the suppliers to our customers in 2009 and 2008, respectively. We typically experience a one to two week delay between issuing our purchase orders and the delivery of products to our warehouses or customers. As lead times have declined over the years, in some instances, certain customers have required same-day or next-day service. We generally keep backup supplies of various commodity products in our warehouses to ensure that we have product on hand at all times for our distribution customers. Our customers do not maintain long-term supply contracts, and therefore we must bear the risk of accurate advanced estimation of customer orders. We have no significant backlog of orders.

We operate 11 warehouse and distribution centers and 11 manufacturing operations located in Alabama, Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas. By using these facilities, we are able to minimize our in-transit delivery time and cost to the regional manufacturing plants of our customers.

Patrick does not engage in significant marketing efforts nor does it incur significant marketing or advertising expenditures other than attendance at certain trade shows and the activities of its sales personnel and the maintenance of customer relationships through price, quality of its products, service and customer satisfaction. In our design showroom located in Elkhart, Indiana, many of our manufactured and distribution products are on display for current and potential customers. We believe that the design showroom has provided Patrick with the opportunity to grow its market share by educating our customers regarding the style and content options that we have available and by offering custom design services to further differentiate our product lines.

Suppliers

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we purchased approximately 74% of our raw materials and distributed products from twenty different suppliers. The five largest suppliers accounted for approximately 48% of our purchases. Our current major material suppliers with contracts through December 31, 2010 include United States Gypsum, MJB Wood Group and Tumac Lumber Company. We have terms and conditions with these and other suppliers that specify exclusivity in certain areas, pricing structures, rebate agreements and other parameters.

Materials are primarily commodity products, such as lauan, gypsum, particleboard, and other lumber products, which are available from many suppliers. We maintain a long-term supply agreement with one of our major suppliers of materials to the MH industry. Our sales in the short-term could be negatively impacted in the event any unforeseen negative circumstances were to affect our major supplier. We believe that we have a good relationship with this supplier and all of our other suppliers. Alternate sources of supply are available for all of our major material purchases.

Regulation and Environmental Quality

The Company’s operations are subject to certain Federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during their manufacturing processes. Over the past two and one-half years, Patrick has taken a proactive role in certifying that the composite wood substrate materials that it uses to produce products for its customers in the RV marketplace have complied with applicable emission standards developed by the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”). All suppliers and manufacturers of composite wood materials will be required to be either CARB I or CARB II certified at some point in the near future.

We believe that we are currently operating in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and have made reports and submitted information as required. The Company believes that the expense of compliance with these laws and regulations with respect to environmental quality, as currently in effect, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or competitive position, and will not require any material capital expenditures for plant or equipment modifications which would adversely affect earnings.

Seasonality

Manufacturing operations in the RV and MH industries historically have been seasonal and are generally at the highest levels when the climate is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits are generally highest in the second and third quarters. However, depressed economic conditions in both industries distorted the historical trends in 2009. RV unit shipments did not experience their normal seasonal sales decline in the fourth quarter of 2009 as they generally have in prior years.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, we had 580 employees, 486 of which were engaged directly in production, warehousing, and delivery operations; 36 in sales; and 58 in office and administrative activities. There were no manufacturing plants or distribution centers covered by collective bargaining agreements. Patrick continuously reviews benefits and other matters of interest to its employees and considers its relations with its employees to be good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows can be adversely affected by various risks related to its business. These risks include, but are not limited to, the principal factors listed below and the other matters set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. All of these risks should be carefully considered.

Our results of operations have been, and may continue to be, adversely impacted by a worldwide macroeconomic downturn.

In 2009, general worldwide economic conditions continued to experience a downturn due to the effects of the deterioration in the residential housing market, subprime lending crisis, general credit market crisis, collateral effects on the finance and banking industries, increased commodity costs, volatile energy costs, concerns about inflation, slower economic activity, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns (the “economic crisis”). These conditions have adversely affected demand in the three major end-markets we serve (the recreational vehicle, manufactured housing and industrial markets), resulting in decreased sales of our component products into these markets and could negatively affect our operations and result in lower sales, income, and cash flows.

In addition, it has become more difficult for our customers and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities, and ultimately our profitability has been adversely affected. If our business conditions continue to deteriorate, we may be forced to close and/or consolidate certain of our operating facilities, sell assets, and/or reduce our workforce, which may result in our incurring restructuring charges. We cannot predict the duration of the economic downturn, the timing or strength of a subsequent economic recovery or the extent to which the economic downturn will continue to negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The current economic downturn in the residential housing market has had an adverse impact on our operations, and is expected to continue into 2010.

The residential housing market has experienced overall declines and credit concerns that are expected to continue into 2010. Approximately 70% of our industrial revenue is directly or indirectly influenced by conditions in the residential housing market. The decline in demand for residential housing and the tightening of consumer credit have lowered demand for our industrial products and have had an adverse impact on our operations as a whole. In addition, the impact of the sub-prime mortgage crisis and housing downturn on consumer confidence, discretionary spending, and general economic conditions has decreased and may continue to decrease demand for our products sold to the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries.

We may incur significant charges or be adversely impacted by the closure of all or part of a manufacturing or distribution facility.

We periodically assess the cost structure of our operating facilities to distribute and/or manufacture and sell our products in the most efficient manner. Based on our assessments, we may make capital investments to move, discontinue manufacturing and/or distribution capabilities, sell or close all or part of a manufacturing and/or distribution facility. In January 2009, we closed our leased distribution facility in Woodland, California and consolidated operations into the existing owned Fontana, California manufacturing facility in order to offset a sizable reduction in sales volumes that stemmed from the planned closure of one of our major customer’s plants in the same area. The Fontana facility was subsequently sold in March 2010 and we are currently operating in the same facility

under a lease agreement with the purchaser for the use of approximately one-half of the square footage previously occupied. We have incurred charges in the first quarter of 2010 related to downsizing our operations in this facility and to accommodate the use of this facility by two different parties. In addition, we closed and sold our manufacturing facility in Ocala, Florida in late 2009 and consolidated its operations into our Alabama and Georgia facilities. Our manufacturing and distribution facility in Oregon was sold in February 2010 and we are currently operating in the same facility under a license agreement with the purchaser while we explore options for a more suitable long-term solution. These changes could result in significant future charges or disruptions in our operations, and we may not achieve the expected benefits from these changes which could result in an adverse impact on our operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

The financial condition of our customers and suppliers may deteriorate as a result of the current economic environment and competitive conditions in their markets.

The economic crisis may lead to increased levels of restructurings, bankruptcies, liquidations and other unfavorable events for our customers, suppliers and other service providers and financial institutions with whom we do business. Such events could, in turn, negatively affect our business either through loss of sales or inability to meet our commitments (or inability to meet them without excess expense) because of loss of suppliers or other providers. In addition, several of our major customers are undergoing unprecedented financial distress which may result in such customers undergoing major restructuring, reorganization or other significant changes. The occurrence of any such event could have further adverse consequences to our business including a decrease in demand for our products. If such customers become insolvent or file for bankruptcy, our ability to recover accounts receivables from those customers would be adversely affected and any payments we received in the preference period prior to a bankruptcy filing may be potentially recoverable by the bankruptcy trustee.

Many of our customers participate in highly competitive markets, and their financial condition may deteriorate as a result. A decline in the financial condition of our customers could hinder our ability to collect amounts owed by customers. In addition, such a decline could result in lower demand for our products and services.

We have a number of large customers, the loss of any of which could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

We have a number of customers which account for a significant percentage of our net sales. Specifically, two customers in the RV market accounted for a combined 35%, and another customer in the MH market accounted for 12% of consolidated net sales in 2009. The loss of any of these large customers could have a material adverse impact on our operating results. We do not have long-term agreements with customers and cannot predict that we will maintain our current relationships with these customers or that we will continue to supply them at current levels.

The manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries are highly competitive, and some of our competitors may have greater resources than we do.

We operate in a highly competitive business environment and our sales could be negatively impacted by our inability to maintain or increase prices, changes in geographic or product mix, or the decision of our customers to purchase our competitors’ products instead of our products. We compete not only with other suppliers to the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle producers, but also with suppliers to traditional site-built homebuilders and suppliers of cabinetry and flooring. Sales could also be affected by pricing, purchasing, financing, advertising, operational, promotional, or other decisions made by purchasers of our products. Additionally, we cannot control the decisions made by suppliers of our distributed and manufactured products and therefore our ability to maintain our exclusive and non-exclusive distributor contracts and agreements may be adversely impacted.

As a result of highly competitive market conditions in the industries in which we participate, some of our competitors have been forced to seek bankruptcy protection. These competitors may emerge from bankruptcy protection with stronger balance sheets and a desire to gain market share by offering below market pricing, which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.

Seasonality and cyclical economic conditions affect the RV and MH markets the Company serves.

The RV and MH markets are cyclical and dependent upon various factors, including the general level of economic activity, consumer confidence, interest rates, access to financing, inventory and production levels, and the cost of fuel. Economic and demographic factors can cause substantial fluctuations in production, which in turn impact sales and operating results. Demand for recreational vehicles and manufactured housing generally declines during the winter season. Our sales levels and operating results could be negatively impacted by changes in any of these items.

The cyclical nature of the domestic housing market has caused our sales and operating results to fluctuate. These fluctuations may continue in the future, which could result in operating losses during downturns.

The U.S. housing industry is highly cyclical and is influenced by many national and regional economic and demographic factors, including:

·	terms and availability of financing for homebuyers and retailers;

·	consumer confidence;

·	interest rates;

·	population and employment trends;

·	income levels;

·	housing demand; and

·	general economic conditions, including inflation, deflation and recessions.

The manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries and the industrial markets are affected by the fluctuations in the residential housing market. As a result of the foregoing factors, our sales and operating results fluctuate, and we expect that they will continue to fluctuate in the future. Moreover, cyclical and seasonal downturns in the residential housing market may cause us to experience operating losses.

Fuel shortages, or higher prices for fuel, have had, and could continue to have, an adverse impact on our operations.

The products produced by the RV industry typically require gasoline or diesel fuel for their operation, or the use of a vehicle requiring gasoline or diesel fuel for their operation. There can be no assurance that the supply of gasoline and diesel fuel will continue uninterrupted or that the price of or tax on fuel will not significantly increase in the future. Shortages of gasoline and diesel fuel have had a significant adverse effect on the demand for recreational vehicles in the past and would be expected to have a material adverse effect on demand in the future. Rapid significant increases in fuel prices, as we experienced in recent years, appear to affect the demand for recreational vehicles when gasoline prices reach unusually high levels. Such a reduction in overall demand for recreational vehicles could have a materially adverse impact on our revenues and profitability. Approximately 44% and 37% of our sales were to the RV industry for 2009 and for 2008, respectively. In 2010, we expect an even higher percentage of our total sales to be concentrated in the RV industry than in 2009 due to forecasted growth in the RV industry and continued softness in the MH and industrial markets.

Dependence on Third-Party Suppliers and Manufacturers.

Generally, our raw materials, supplies and energy requirements are obtained from various sources and in the quantities desired. While alternative sources are available, our business is subject to the risk of price increases and periodic delays in the delivery. Fluctuations in the prices of these requirements may be driven by the supply/demand relationship for that commodity or governmental regulation. In addition, if any of our suppliers seek bankruptcy relief or otherwise cannot continue their business as anticipated, the availability or price of these requirements could be adversely affected.

Increased cost and limited availability of raw materials may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Prices of certain materials, including gypsum, lauan, particleboard, MDF, and other commodity products, can be volatile and change dramatically with changes in supply and demand. Certain products are purchased from overseas and are dependent upon vessel shipping schedules and port availability. Further, certain of our commodity product suppliers sometimes operate at or near capacity, resulting in some products having the potential of being put on

allocation. We generally have been able to maintain adequate supplies of materials and to pass higher material costs on to our customers in the form of surcharges and base price increases where needed. However, it is not certain that future price increases can be passed on to our customers without affecting demand or that limited availability of materials will not impact our production capabilities. The current credit crisis and its impact on the financial and housing markets may also impact our suppliers and affect the availability or pricing of materials. Our sales levels and operating results could be negatively impacted by changes in any of these items.

We are subject to governmental and environmental regulations, and failure in our compliance efforts could result in damages, expenses or liabilities that individually or in the aggregate would have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our manufacturing businesses are subject to various governmental and environmental regulations. Implementation of new regulations or amendments to existing regulations could significantly increase the cost of the Company’s products. Certain components of manufactured and modular homes are subject to regulation by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. We currently use materials that we believe comply with government regulations. We cannot presently determine what, if any, legislation may be adopted by Congress or state or local governing bodies, or the effect any such legislation may have on us or the manufactured housing industry. In addition, failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in fines or potential civil or criminal liability. Both scenarios could negatively our results of operations or financial condition.

The inability to attract and retain qualified executive officers and key personnel may adversely affect our operations.

The loss of any of our executive officers or other key personnel could reduce our ability to manage our business and strategic plan in the short term and could cause our sales and operating results to decline.

Our ability to integrate acquired businesses may adversely affect operations.

As part of our business and strategic plan, we look for strategic acquisitions to provide shareholder value. Any acquisition will require the effective integration of an existing business and its administrative, financial, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other functions to maximize synergies. Acquired businesses involve a number of risks that may affect our financial performance, including increased leverage, diversion of management resources, assumption of liabilities of the acquired businesses, and possible corporate culture conflicts. If we are unable to successfully integrate these acquisitions, we may not realize the benefits identified in our due diligence process, and our financial results may be negatively impacted. Additionally, significant unexpected liabilities could arise from these acquisitions.

Increased levels of indebtedness may harm our financial condition and results of operations.

As of December 31, 2009, we had approximately $42.3 million of total debt of which $41.8 million was under our senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and $0.5 million was related to our economic development revenue bonds. Our indebtedness, which was primarily the result of the Adorn acquisition in 2007, as well as a greater need for working capital, may harm our financial condition and negatively impact our results of operations. The level of indebtedness could have consequences on our future operations, including (i) making it more difficult for us to meet our payments on outstanding debt; (ii) an event of default, if we fail to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants contained in the credit agreement governing the Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement”), which could result in all of our debt becoming immediately due and payable; (iii) reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, and limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for these purposes; (iv) limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, and increasing our vulnerability to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; (v) placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or are less leveraged; and (vi) creating concerns about our credit quality which could result in the loss of supplier contracts and/or customers. While we will be working with our current lenders or otherwise during 2010 to execute a new long-term Credit Facility prior to its scheduled expiration on January 3, 2011, there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance any or all of this indebtedness.

Our Credit Facility contains various financial performance and other covenants with which we must remain in compliance. If we do not remain in compliance with these covenants, our senior secured credit facility could be terminated and the amounts outstanding thereunder could become immediately due and payable.

We have a significant amount of debt outstanding that contains financial and non-financial covenants with which we must comply that place restrictions on our subsidiaries and us. Without improvements from the conditions in the current economic downturn in 2010, there can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance during 2010 with the financial covenants as modified by the fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement in December 2009 (the “Fourth Amendment”). These covenants are measured on a quarterly basis and require that we attain minimum levels of Consolidated EBITDA as defined by our Credit Agreement. If we fail to comply with our covenants under the Fourth Amendment, the lenders could cause our debt to become due and payable prior to maturity or it could result in our having to refinance the related indebtedness under unfavorable terms. If our debt were accelerated, our assets might not be sufficient to repay our debt in full. If current unfavorable credit market conditions were to persist throughout 2010, there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance any or all of this indebtedness.

For additional details and discussion concerning these financial covenants see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 7 of this Report and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Industry conditions and our operating results have limited our sources of capital in the past. If we are unable to locate suitable sources of capital when needed, we may be unable to maintain or expand our business.

We depend on our cash balances, our cash flows from operations, our Credit Agreement, and potentially borrowing against our corporate-owned life insurance policies to finance our operating requirements, capital expenditures and other needs. If the general economic conditions that prevailed during 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 continue or worsen, production of RVs and manufactured homes will likely decline, resulting in reduced demand for our products. A further decline in our operating results could negatively impact our liquidity. In addition, the downturn in the MH and RV industries, combined with our operating results and other changes, has limited our sources of financing in the past. If our cash balances, cash flows from operations, and availability under our Credit Agreement are insufficient to finance our operations and alternative capital is not available, we may not be able to expand our business and make acquisitions, or we may need to curtail or limit our existing operations.

We have letters of credit representing collateral for our casualty insurance programs and for general operating purposes. The letters of credit are issued under our Credit Agreement. For additional detail and information concerning the amounts of our letters of credit, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The inability to retain our current letters of credit, to obtain alternative letter of credit sources, or to retain our current Credit Agreement to support these programs could require us to post cash collateral, reduce the amount of cash available for our operations or cause us to curtail or limit existing operations.

Increased levels of inventory may adversely affect our profitability.

Our customers generally do not maintain long-term supply contracts and, therefore, we must bear the risk of advanced estimation of customer orders. We maintain an inventory to support these customers’ needs. Changes in demand, market conditions and/or product specifications could result in material obsolescence and a lack of alternative markets for certain of our customer specific products and could negatively impact operating results.

We may be subject to additional charges for impairment of assets, including goodwill, other long-lived assets and deferred tax assets, due to potential declines in the fair value of those assets or a decline in expected profitability of the Company or individual reporting units of the Company.

A portion of our total assets as of December 31, 2009 was comprised of goodwill, amortizable intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment. Under generally accepted accounting principles, each of these assets is subject to periodic review and testing to determine whether the asset is recoverable or realizable. The events or changes that could require us to test our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment include a reduction in our stock price and market capitalization and changes in our estimated future cash flows, as well as changes in rates of growth in our industry or in any of our reporting units.

In the future, if actual sales demand or market conditions change from those projected by management, additional asset write-downs may be required. Significant impairment charges, although not always affecting current cash flow, could have a material effect on our operating results and financial position.

A variety of factors could influence fluctuations in the market price for our common stock.

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate in the future in response to a number of factors, including those discussed below. The market price of our common stock has in the past fluctuated and is likely to continue to fluctuate. Some of the factors that may cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate include:

·	variations in our and our competitors’ operating results;

·	historically low trading volume;

·	high concentration of shares held by institutional investors and in particular our majority shareholder, Tontine Capital Partners, L.P. and affiliates (collectively, “Tontine Capital”);

·	announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

·	the gain or loss of significant customers;

·	additions or departure of key personnel;

·	events affecting other companies that the market deems comparable to us;

·	general conditions in industries in which we operate;

·	general conditions in the United States and abroad;

·	the presence or absence of short selling of our common stock;

·	future sales of our common stock or debt securities;

·	announcements by us or our competitors of technological improvements or new products; and

·	the disclosure by Tontine Capital in November 2008 that it will begin to explore alternatives for the disposition of its equity interests in the Company.

Fluctuations in the stock market may have an adverse effect upon the price of our common stock.

The stock markets in general have experienced substantial price and trading fluctuations. These fluctuations have resulted in volatility in the market prices of securities that often has been unrelated or disproportionate to changes in operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Holders of our common stock are subject to the risk of dilution of their investment as the result of the issuance to our lenders of warrants to purchase common stock.

As part of the consideration for amending our Credit Agreement on December 11, 2008, we entered into a Warrant Agreement under which we issued to our lenders warrants to purchase an aggregate of 474,049 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share of $1 (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are immediately exercisable, subject to anti-dilution provisions and expire on December 11, 2018. Pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants was increased to an aggregate of 483,742 shares and the exercise price was adjusted to $0.98 per share during 2009. The exercise of the Warrants would result in dilution to the holders of our common stock. The renegotiation and extension of our current Credit Facility that expires on January 3, 2011, or any replacement credit facility, could involve the issuance of additional warrants or other equity-based arrangements.

A majority of our common stock is held by Tontine Capital, which has the ability to control all matters requiring shareholder approval and whose interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders. In addition, the ownership of a significant portion of our common stock is concentrated in the hands of a few holders.

As of March 1, 2010, Tontine Capital owned 5,174,963 shares of our common stock or approximately 56.4% of our total common stock outstanding. As a result of its majority interest, Tontine Capital has the ability to control all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of our directors, the adoption of amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, the approval of mergers and sales of all or substantially all of our assets, decisions affecting our capital structure and other significant corporate transactions. In addition to its majority interest, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with Tontine Capital, dated April 10, 2007, if Tontine Capital (i) holds between 7.5% and 14.9% of our common stock then outstanding, Tontine Capital has the right to appoint one nominee to our board; or (ii) holds at least 15% of our common stock then outstanding, Tontine Capital has the right to appoint two nominees to our board. Tontine Capital’s rights related to the appointment of directors were affirmed in a subsequent Securities Purchase Agreement with Tontine Capital, dated March 10, 2008. On July 21, 2008, a nominee of Tontine Capital was appointed to the board. As of March 1, 2010, Tontine Capital has one director on the Company’s board of directors and has not exercised its right to nominate a second director to the board.

The interests of Tontine Capital may not in all cases be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders. The influence of Tontine Capital may also have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests. In addition, Tontine Capital and its affiliates are in the business of investing in companies and may, from time to time, invest in companies that compete directly or indirectly with us. Tontine Capital and its affiliates may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us.

We are not able to predict whether or when Tontine Capital or the other institutions will sell or otherwise dispose of substantial amounts of our common stock. Sales or other dispositions of our common stock by these institutions could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

In addition, we were aware of four other institutions that collectively own approximately 18.3% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2009.

Tontine Capital indicated in a filing with the SEC that it would begin to explore alternatives for the disposition of its equity interests in the Company. This filing, and any future dispositions of stock by Tontine Capital, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

On November 10, 2008, Tontine Capital filed with the SEC an amendment to its previously filed Schedule 13D with respect to its ownership of common stock of the Company. Tontine Capital stated that it would begin to explore alternatives for the disposition of its equity interests in the Company, which alternatives may include: (a) dispositions of our common stock through open market sales, underwritten offerings and/or privately negotiated sales; (b) a sale of the Company; or (c) distributions by Tontine Capital of its shares to its investors. The public disclosure of such possible disposition may adversely affect the market price for our common stock due to the large number of shares involved. In addition, we are not able to predict whether or when Tontine Capital will dispose of its stock. Any such future disposition of stock by Tontine Capital may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

In March 2010, Tontine Capital disclosed that it had reallocated the ownership of certain shares of common stock of the Company owned by it to a new investment fund, Tontine Capital Overseas Master Fund II, L.P. (“TCOMF2”). The aggregate common stock ownership of Tontine Capital following the reallocation did not change. In addition, Tontine Capital disclosed that TCOMF2 may hold and/or dispose of such securities or may purchase additional securities of the Company, at any time and from time to time in the open market or otherwise.

Certain provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws may delay, defer or prevent a change in control that our shareholders each might consider to be in their best interest.

Our Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws contain provisions that are intended to deter coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids by making them unacceptably expensive to the raider, and to encourage prospective acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors rather than to attempt a hostile takeover.

We have in place a Rights Agreement which permits under certain circumstances each holder of common stock, other than potential acquirers, to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of a newly created series of our preferred stock at a purchase price of $30 or to acquire additional shares of our common stock at 50% of the current market price. The rights are not exercisable or transferable until a person or group acquires 20% or more of our outstanding common stock, except with respect to Tontine Capital and its affiliates and associates, which are exempt from the provisions of the Rights Agreement pursuant to an amendment signed on March 12, 2008. The effects of the Rights Agreement would be to discourage a stockholder from attempting to take over our company without negotiating with our Board of Directors.

Insurance Coverages and Terms and Conditions.

We negotiate our insurance contracts annually for property, casualty, workers compensation, general liability, health insurance, and directors’ and officers’ liability coverage. Due to conditions within these insurance markets and other factors beyond our control, future coverage limits, terms and conditions and the amount of the related premiums could have a negative impact on our operating results. While we continually measure the risk/reward of policy limits and coverage, the lack of coverage in certain circumstances could result in potential uninsured losses.

(1) Represents owned buildings that were for sale by the Company as of December 31, 2009.

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s credit agreement, all of its owned facilities are subject to a mortgage and security interest.

Buildings for Sale

In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company reclassified approximately $1.6 million of carrying value for the Fontana, California property to assets held for sale. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company reclassified approximately $3.2 million of carrying value for the Woodburn, Oregon property to assets held for sale. Both of these properties were included in assets held for sale as of December 31, 2009. The Oregon and California properties were sold in February 2010 and March 2010, respectively. The Company is currently operating in the same facility in Oregon under a license agreement with the purchaser while it explores options for a more suitable long-term solution, and it is operating in the same facility in California under a lease agreement with the purchaser for the use of approximately one-half of the square footage previously occupied.

In addition, the Company entered into a listing agreement in March 2009 to sell its manufacturing and distribution facility in New London, North Carolina. Since it is anticipated that the sale of this facility will not be completed within the next twelve months due to unfavorable real estate market conditions in this region, the property’s carrying value was not included in assets held for sale.

Lease Expirations

We believe that the facilities we occupy as of December 31, 2009, excluding those designated for sale, are adequate for the purposes for which they are currently being used and are well maintained. We may, as part of our strategic operating plan, further consolidate and/or close certain owned facilities and, may not renew leases on property with near-term lease expirations. Use of our manufacturing facilities may vary with seasonal, economic and other business conditions.

As of December 31, 2009, we owned or leased 25 trucks, 31 tractors, 49 trailers, 106 forklifts, and 3 automobiles. All owned and leased facilities and equipment are in good condition and are well maintained.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to claims and suits in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, currently pending legal proceedings and claims against the Company will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Company Overview and Business Segments

Patrick Industries is a major manufacturer of component products and distributor of building products serving the recreational vehicle (“RV”), manufactured housing (“MH”), kitchen cabinet, household furniture, fixtures and commercial furnishings, marine, and other industrial markets and operates coast-to-coast through locations in 12 states. Patrick's major manufactured products include decorative vinyl and paper panels, wrapped moldings, interior passage doors, cabinet doors and components, slotwall and slotwall components, and countertops. The Company also distributes drywall and drywall finishing products, electronics, adhesives, cement siding, interior passage doors, roofing products, laminate flooring, and other related products. The Company has three reportable business segments: Primary Manufactured Products, Distribution and Other Component Manufactured Products, which contributed approximately 69%, 21% and 10%, respectively, to 2009 net sales.

Overview of Markets and Related Industry Performance

Throughout the majority of 2009, recreational vehicle (“RV”) and manufactured housing (“MH”) retailers and manufacturers continued to aggressively manage their inventory levels in response to restricted credit conditions and weakening economic trends, which in turn reduced demand and negatively impacted the sales of the Company’s products. While uncertainty surrounding the future course of the global economy has helped fuel the decline in RV and MH sales compared to prior periods, production levels in the RV industry were stronger than expected based on a higher demand for RV’s by retail dealers in the latter half of 2009. In the MH sector, monthly shipments have been flat with nominal seasonal improvement and continue to be well below historical levels, especially given the current unstable condition in the residential housing market. The continuation of the deterioration in macroeconomic conditions in all sectors of the economy in 2009, including restricted availability of capital, high unemployment, negative job growth, low consumer confidence levels, and a decline in discretionary spending all contributed to the negative impact on all three of the major markets the Company serves.

According to industry sources, the RV industry, which represents approximately 44% of the Company’s 2009 sales, experienced unit shipment declines in the first three quarters of 2009 compared to the prior year. The RV industry began to show signs of recovery in the fourth quarter of 2009 as unit shipments increased approximately 76% over the fourth quarter of 2008. This quarter over quarter increase in unit shipment levels represented the first quarter over quarter increase since 2006. For full year 2009, RV unit shipment levels experienced unit shipment declines of approximately 30% to finish at 165,700 units. The 2009 year marked only the second year in the last eight years that shipment levels fell below the 300,000-unit level and represented the third decline in the last four years. While the full restoration of RV sales to prior levels is projected to be slow, many of our existing customers have indicated that they envision increased production in 2010 compared to 2009.

Long-term demographic trends favor RV industry growth fueled by the anticipated positive impact that aging baby boomers are estimated to have on the industry once the industry recovers from the current economic crisis. In addition, federal economic credit and stimulus packages, which include provisions to stimulate RV purchases and provide favorable tax treatment for new RV purchases, may help promote sales and aid in the RV industry’s economic recovery. Demographic trends point to positive conditions for this particular market sector in the long-term. Dealer demand improved in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2009 and certain new and existing manufacturers have increased capacity and added to their workforce. In anticipation of continued strengthening short-term demand, the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”) is predicting a 30% increase in full year 2010 unit shipments

compared to the full year 2009 level. Based on this estimated increase in unit shipments in the RV market compared to the softness in the other primary market sectors in which Patrick operates, the Company expects its RV market sales concentration to increase in 2010.

MH wholesale unit shipments continued to show weakness and reflected 15 consecutive quarters of declining shipments compared to prior periods. According to industry sources, the MH industry, which represents approximately 37% of the Company’s revenue base for 2009, continued to experience shipment declines of approximately 39% versus the prior year and finished the year with shipments at approximately 49,800 units, levels not seen since 1961. Growth in the MH industry continues to be negatively impacted by restricted credit conditions, large inventories of traditional site built homes, and a significant number of foreclosed homes that are available. Factors that may favorably impact production levels in this industry include credit quality standards in the residential housing market, improved job growth, favorable changes in financing laws, new tax credits for new home buyers and other government incentives, and rising interest rates that make traditional site built homes relatively more expensive to finance. The Company currently estimates MH unit shipments for full year 2010 to decline approximately 2% compared to full year 2009 levels.

The weak conditions in the MH industry dramatically impacted the Company’s Distribution Segment, which saw sales decline from the prior year by approximately 39% as approximately 72% of the Company’s sales in this segment are associated with the MH Industry. Additionally, pricing on gypsum related commodity products that the Company sells into the MH industry rose approximately 10% year- over-year on manufactured products and approximately 6% on distribution products.

The industrial and other markets represent approximately 19% of the Company’s revenue base for 2009. The Company estimates that approximately 70% of our revenue base in these industries is linked to the residential housing market which continued to be impacted by depressed conditions as new housing starts for 2009 were down approximately 39% from the comparable period in 2008 (as reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce). There is a direct correlation between the demand for our products in this market and new residential housing construction. In addition, the renewal of the first-time homebuyer’s credit and reductions in unemployment could build additional momentum in this market. The National Association of Homebuilders (as of February 26, 2010) forecasted a 16% increase in total housing starts and a 17% increase in existing single-family home sales in 2010 compared to 2009. The Company expects the predicted growth in new construction and existing home sales to positively influence its presence in these markets during the second half of 2010. In the long-term, residential expenditure growth will be based on job growth, affordable interest rates, and lingering government incentives to stimulate housing demand and reduce surplus inventory due to foreclosures.

In addition, higher energy costs continue to affect the costs of raw materials. The Company continues to explore alternative sources of raw materials and components, both domestically and from overseas. Recently there have been concerns about the allegedly defective drywall manufactured in China and sold in the U.S. We do not believe that we have had any exposure to such products because we purchase our drywall materials from domestic suppliers that have certified to us that their products were not manufactured in China.

Consolidations, Sales and Divestitures

We completed the divestitures of certain non-core businesses in 2009, including American Hardwoods, Inc. (“American Hardwoods”) and our aluminum extrusion operation. Results relating to these operations were reclassified to discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The total pretax gain recognized on the sales of these operations was approximately $0.7 million in 2009. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Certain assets and the business of American Hardwoods were sold in January 2009 for cash consideration of $2.0 million. Results relating to this operation were previously reported in the Distribution segment. The building that housed the operation was subsequently sold in June 2009 for $2.5 million. Proceeds from the sale of the building were used to pay down approximately $2.5 million in long-term debt.

In July 2009, the Company completed the sale of certain assets of its aluminum extrusion operation. Previously, the financial results of this operation had comprised the entire Engineered Solutions segment. Net cash proceeds of approximately $7.4 million were used to pay down $4.4 million of long-term debt and reduce borrowings under the Company’s revolving line of credit by $3.0 million.

In December 2009, the Company sold its operating facility located in Ocala, Florida. Approximately $1.5 million of the net proceeds from the sale were used to pay down principal on the Company’s term loan. In addition, a pretax gain on the sale of approximately $1.2 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Through March 29, 2010, the Company’s owned facilities in Woodburn, Oregon and Fontana, California were sold with approximately $8.3 million of the net proceeds from the sales used to pay down principal on the Company’s term loan. In addition, the Company anticipates recording a pretax gain on the sales of approximately $2.8 million in its first quarter 2010 operating results. See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Summary of 2009 Financial Results

Below is a summary of our 2009 financial results. Additional detailed discussions are provided elsewhere in this MD&A and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Continuing operations:

· Net sales declined $112.7 million or 34.6% in 2009 to $212.5 million, compared to $325.2 million in 2008. Net sales were negatively impacted by the credit crisis and overall economic uncertainty, extremely restricted credit conditions, and low consumer confidence resulting in reductions in end market demand, particularly during the first three quarters of the year in the RV industry and the full year in the MH industry and residential housing market, and reductions in RV and MH retailer and manufacturer inventory levels.

· Gross profit was $22.9 million or 10.8% of net sales in 2009, compared with gross profit of $27.2 million or 8.4% of net sales in 2008. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in 2009 is primarily driven by several charges that impacted 2008 results including $4.5 million for the write-down and disposal of slow moving inventory, $3.5 million related to fixed asset impairments, and $0.8 million of restructuring charges related to the Adorn Holdings, Inc. (“Adorn”) acquisition.

· Operating income was $1.3 million in 2009, compared to an operating loss of $70.2 million in 2008. Operating income in 2009 was positively impacted by a $21.0 million reduction in warehouse and delivery and SG&A expenses compared to the prior year and a $1.2 million gain on the sale of fixed assets. The operating loss in 2008 included non-cash impairment charges and inventory write-downs of approximately $64.7 million, a $1.9 million charge to increase the allowance for doubtful accounts, restructuring and other acquisition and financing related costs of approximately $1.7 million, acquisition-related amortization of $1.7 million, and partially offset by a $4.6 million gain on the sale of fixed assets.

· The loss from continuing operations was approximately $5.4 million or $0.59 per diluted share in 2009, compared to a net loss of $66.7 million or $8.32 per diluted share for 2008. The major factors that influenced the net loss for both periods are described above.

Discontinued Operations:

Discontinued operations includes the operating results, as well as the net gain or loss upon sale, of American Hardwoods (January 2009) and the aluminum extrusion operation (July 2009). After-tax income from discontinued operations in 2009 was $0.9 million or $0.10 per diluted share which was comprised of $0.8 million of income from operations related to the aluminum extrusion operation, and a $0.7 million net gain related to the completion of the two divestitures, offset by income taxes of $0.6 million. For 2008, the after-tax loss from discontinued operations was $4.9 million or $0.61 diluted per diluted share which was comprised of a $1.0 million loss on operations and $3.9

million of estimated losses on the sale of the operations including the write-down to fair value of certain assets pertaining to the two operations. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

2009 Challenges and Initiatives

In 2009, our overarching goal was to keep the Company intensely focused on its strategic operating plan, which included an emphasis on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), cash flow, debt reduction, improved inventory turns, and focused market share growth despite declining revenue.

In fiscal year 2009, we proactively explored, initiated and completed a number of necessary cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives designed to reduce our leverage position, keep operating costs aligned with our revenue base, and keep our overhead structure at a level consistent with our operating needs given current economic conditions. Some of these initiatives are as follows:

·	Completed the sale of American Hardwoods and the aluminum extrusion operation

·	Closed/consolidated facilities to improve operating efficiencies in our plants through increased capacity utilization;

·	Managed inventory costs by reducing supplier lead times and minimum order requirements, and by increasing inventory turns;

·	Further reduced workforce and production capacities to accommodate anticipated customer demand and maintain efficiencies; and

·	Managing our delivery costs through the reduction in our fleet size and consolidating our delivery loads.

Further, the Company’s capital utilization and preservation actions during 2009 included:

Amended our senior secured credit agreement in April 2009 and in December 2009 to better match our operating, financing and working capital needs for 2009 and through the end of 2010. The amendments to the Company’s Credit Agreement (as defined) amended and/or added certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Paid down approximately $14.5 million of principal on long-term debt, of which approximately $8.4 million was funded through a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the aluminum extrusion operation and from the sales of the American Hardwoods and Florida operating facilities. From May 2007 through December 31, 2009, we paid down approximately $60.6 million in debt. In addition, during 2009, we reduced borrowings under our revolving line of credit by $4.7 million.

In addition, we eliminated certain product lines not fitting within the parameters of our working capital targets and enhanced other product and service offerings through:

●	new product development and expansion into new product lines including the establishment of a new electronics distribution division; and

●	the acquisition of a cabinet door business in January 2010.

Fiscal Year 2010 Outlook

Although RV market conditions have improved in the first quarter of 2010, we anticipate that the residual effects of the recession and low consumer confidence will potentially continue into 2010 as consumers remain cautious when deciding whether or not to purchase discretionary items such as RVs. While the full restoration of RV sales to prior levels is projected to be slow and uneven, we anticipate an increase in RV unit shipment levels in 2010 based upon increased production levels by many of our existing customers in the latter half of 2009 and the current positive outlook for this industry as forecasted by the RVIA. In addition, we anticipate a decline in production levels in the MH industry for at least the first half of 2010 that will continue to be well below historical sales levels. New housing starts are estimated to improve slightly year-over-year consistent with slowly improving overall economic conditions.

Based upon the wage and salary reductions taken by our team members, reductions in fixed and variable overhead expense levels, available capacity, and production and cost efficiencies that we have gained since our acquisition of Adorn in May 2007, we believe we are well positioned to increase revenues in all of the markets that we serve upon

improvement in the overall economic environment. As we navigate through 2010 in anticipation of improving market conditions in the RV industry, we will continue to review our operations on a regular basis, balance appropriate risks and opportunities, and maximize efficiencies to support the Company’s long-term strategic growth goals. The management team remains focused on keeping costs aligned with revenues and will continue to size the operating platform according to the revenue base. Key focus areas for 2010 include EBITDA, cash flow, liquidity maximization, and debt reduction. Additional key focus areas include:

·	additional market share penetration;

·	sales into commercial/institutional markets to diversify revenue base;

·	further improvement of operating efficiencies in all manufacturing operations and corporate functions;

·	acquisition of businesses/product lines that meet established criteria;

·	aggressive management of inventory quantities and pricing, and the addition of select key commodity suppliers; and

·	ongoing development of existing product lines and the addition of new product lines.

In conjunction with our strategic plan, we will continue to make targeted capital investments to support new business and leverage our operating platform, and work to more fully integrate sales efforts to broaden customer relationships and meet customer demands. In 2009, capital expenditures were approximately $0.3 million based on our capital needs and cash management priorities. The acquisition of Adorn and the related consolidation plan allowed us to take advantage of excess, redundant equipment, and therefore, reduced our need for significant capital expenditures in the short-term. Additionally, we have continued to perform necessary and regular preventative maintenance on our equipment in order to ensure that it is working at an optimal efficiency level. The capital plan for full year 2010 includes estimated expenditures of up to $1.0 million, and such expenditures are limited to $2.25 million for any fiscal year per our amended Credit Agreement.

KEY RECENT EVENTS

Credit Agreement Amendments

At March 1, 2009 (the Company’s February fiscal month end), we were in violation of the Consolidated EBITDA financial covenant under the terms of the Credit Agreement. On April 14, 2009, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Company’s Credit Agreement, (the “Third Amendment”) pursuant to which, among other things, the lenders waived any actual or potential Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) resulting from our failure to comply with the Consolidated EBITDA covenants for the fiscal months ended March 1, 2009 and March 29, 2009. In addition, the Third Amendment amended and/or added certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements including a modification of the one-month and two-month Consolidated EBITDA covenants to be more reflective of current economic conditions. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to a borrowing base, up to a borrowing limit. The maximum borrowing limit amount was reduced from $33.0 million to $29.0 million in accordance with the Company’s cash flow forecast. The principal amount outstanding under the term loan, the interest rates for borrowings under the revolving line of credit and the term loan, and the expiration date of the Credit Agreement remained unchanged under the amended terms.

On December 11, 2009, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Company’s Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment amended certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements to better align with the Company’s updated operating and cash flow projections for fiscal year 2010. In addition, the financial covenants were modified to establish new quarterly minimum EBITDA requirements that will replace the existing minimum one-month and two-month requirements beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2010. The monthly borrowing limits under the revolving commitments were also reset in conjunction with updated projected monthly cash flows for 2010. The maximum borrowing limit amount was further reduced from $29.0 million to $28.0 million for fiscal year 2010 in accordance with the Company’s updated cash flow forecast. The interest rates for borrowings under the revolving line of credit and the term loan, and the expiration date of the Credit Agreement remained unchanged. For additional details and discussion concerning these financial covenants see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 7 of this Report and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Shareholder Approval of 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan

In November 2009, Patrick’s shareholders approved the Patrick Industries, Inc. 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) which included incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, related stock appreciation rights, performance and restricted stock awards, and other awards. Prior to November 2009, Patrick granted equity awards under the terms of the Patrick Industries, Inc. 1987 Stock Option Program, as amended and restated (the “1987 Plan”). Stock options and awards previously granted under the 1987 Plan will not be affected by the 2009 Plan and will remain outstanding until they are exercised, expire or otherwise terminate. The shares that were available for future awards under the 1987 Plan are included in the total shares available under the 2009 Plan. The Company’s 2009 Plan permits the future granting of share options and share awards to its employees, Directors and other service providers for up to 759,502 shares of stock as of December 31, 2009.

Acquisition

In January 2010, the Company acquired certain assets of the cabinet door business of Quality Hardwoods Sales, a limited liability company. The purchase was determined to be a business combination and the assets acquired will be recorded at fair value during the first quarter of 2010. The purchase price was not significant.

Sales of Operating Facilities

Certain operating facilities were closed or consolidated during 2009 to improve operating efficiencies in the plants through increased capacity utilization and to continue the Company’s effort to reduce its leverage position. In December 2009, the Company sold its operating facility located in Ocala, Florida and used the net proceeds from the sale to pay down approximately $1.5 million in principal on the Company’s term loan. In addition, a pretax gain on the sale of approximately $1.2 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Through March 29, 2010, the Company’s owned facilities in Woodburn, Oregon and Fontana, California were sold with approximately $8.3 million of the net proceeds from the sales used to pay down principal on the Company’s term loan. The Company is currently operating in the same facility in Oregon under a license agreement with the purchaser while it explores options for a more suitable long–term solution, and is operating in the same facility in California under a lease agreement with the purchaser for the use of approximately one-half of the square footage previously occupied. In addition, the Company anticipates recording a pretax gain on the sales of approximately $2.8 million in its first quarter 2010 operating results. See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS

Net Sales. Net sales decreased $112.7 million or 34.6%, to $212.5 million in 2009 from $325.2 million in 2008. The decline in net sales primarily reflects the continuation of overall lower end market demand due to the economic recession and its residual effects. In addition, reduced RV and MH retail dealer inventory levels in response to restricted credit conditions and increasing credit costs, a decline in consumer discretionary spending, and economic trends that continued to weaken in all three of the primary markets the Company serves all had an impact on the Company’s revenues (as discussed above).

From a market perspective, the RV industry, which represents 44% of our 2009 sales, experienced unit shipment declines of approximately 30% from year-to-year. The MH industry, which represents approximately 37% of our 2009 sales, experienced unit shipment declines of approximately 39% from the prior year. The industrial and other markets represent approximately 19% of our sales in 2009. Approximately 70% of the Company’s industrial revenue base is linked to the residential housing market which continued to be impacted by depressed conditions as new housing starts for 2009 were down approximately 39% from 2008 (as reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce). While the RV market appears to be stabilizing with projected improvement into 2010, the Company expects continued weakness in all three major markets it serves when compared to prior periods.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold declined $107.5 million or 36.1% to $189.6 million in 2009 from $297.1 million in 2008. The decline was principally due to the impact of lower sales volumes as well as improved raw material pricing, improved production efficiencies, facility consolidations, certain direct labor efficiencies of approximately $0.6 million, and a reduction in total overhead expenses of approximately $10.1 million. Labor inefficiencies as the Company adjusted to the rapidly declining market conditions and softening sales levels that began in the first quarter of 2008 were reflected in the 2008 results.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 89.2% in 2009 from 91.4% in 2008 reflecting charges that impacted the 2008 results including a $3.5 million impairment to fixed assets related to machinery, furniture and equipment, and the write-down and disposal of $3.8 million of slow-moving inventory due to obsolescence and commodity market price declines.

Cost of goods sold in 2008 also included charges of approximately $0.7 million related to the misappropriation of Company assets and the underreporting of scrap at one of the Company’s manufacturing facilities. As a result of the investigation of this matter and a second physical inventory, the Company recorded an adjustment to reduce inventory and increase cost of goods sold at this particular facility by approximately $0.7 million during the quarter ended March 30, 2008. The impact of the $0.7 million inventory adjustment did not have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity or Credit Facility (as defined) at March 30, 2008 or in any other prior periods. Exclusive of the charges that impacted 2008 results, cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased slightly in 2009 compared to the prior year reflecting certain fixed overhead costs that remained relatively constant despite lower sales volumes.

Restructuring Charges. In 2008, total restructuring charges were $1.0 million or 0.3% of net sales, of which $0.8 million was included as a separate line item under cost of goods sold. The charges were recorded in conjunction with the final phase of the restructuring plan which related to the closing of a Patrick division in the Company’s Other Component Manufactured Products Segment and the consolidation of two divisions in the Company’s Primary Manufactured Products Segment, one from a leased facility into one of the Company’s owned manufacturing facilities, and the other into one of the leased manufacturing facilities. The restructuring plan included Adorn and Patrick workforce reductions of approximately 240 employees, of which approximately 200 were completed in 2007 and remaining 40 in 2008, facility closures, and various asset write-downs.

Restructuring charges included as a separate line item under operating expenses of approximately $0.2 million were related to severance, benefits and other costs related to the consolidation activities. There were no restructuring charges in 2009. In 2010, the Company may identify further cost reduction opportunities which may result in additional restructuring charges.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $4.3 million or 16.0%, to $22.9 million in 2009 from $27.2 million in 2008. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 10.8% in 2009 from 8.4% in 2008. The change in gross profit from period to period is attributable to the factors described above.

Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses decreased $6.3 million or 38.0%, to $10.2 million in 2009 from $16.5 million in 2008. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were 4.8% and 5.1% in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Efficiency improvements realized from the consolidation of Adorn in 2008, and a $5.9 million decline in fixed and variable costs including delivery wages, fleet rental, fuel costs and freight charges contributed to the decline in warehouse and deliver expenses in 2009.

Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses. SG&A expenses decreased $14.7 million or 54.8%, to $12.1 million in 2009 from $26.8 million in 2008. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 5.7% in 2009 compared to 8.3% in 2008. The decrease in SG&A expenses is primarily attributable to our ongoing efforts to align operating costs with revenue as a result of the soft market conditions. Administrative, office, and sales wages declined $8.0 million during the year principally reflecting a reduction in headcount over the past twelve months and reductions in base compensation taken by all hourly and salaried employees in first quarter 2009. In addition, bad debt expense decreased $1.0 million in 2009 reflecting the Company’s continued efforts to maintain appropriate credit policies with customers and suppliers especially given tight retail credit standards and the level of consolidations/closures of RV and MH customers.

SG&A expenses in 2008 included the impact of $0.3 million in costs associated with certain vesting of employee retirement obligations incurred as a result of the change of control provisions associated with the completion of the previously announced rights offering, stock compensation of $0.5 million related to attaining certain milestone objectives in conjunction with the Adorn consolidation plan, and $0.2 million of restructuring charges. In 2008, we eliminated certain administrative salaried positions in an effort to continue to align our operating costs with revenues as discussed above. SG&A expenses also included a $1.9 million increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts in 2008 that was driven principally by certain customers of the Company that have closed or filed bankruptcy.

on the date of the acquisition, and represented the excess between the purchase price and the net assets acquired. During our annual goodwill impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2008, we determined that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded its implied fair value, which resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of $27.4 million. There was no impairment recognized for goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2009 based on the results of the annual impairment analyses.

Intangible Assets Impairments. The acquisition of Adorn in May 2007 resulted in the recording of certain intangible assets includes customer relationships, trademarks and non-compete agreements within the Primary Manufactured Products segment and in the Other Component Manufactured Products segments on the date of the acquisition. During our impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2008, we determined that the carrying value of these intangible assets exceeded their implied fair value, which resulted in an impairment charge of $29.3 million. There was no impairment recognized for intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. In conjunction with the Adorn acquisition in May 2007, the Company recognized $39.5 million in certain intangible assets which were being amortized over periods ranging from 5 to 19 years. The Company recorded amortization expense on these intangibles of $0.4 million in 2009 and $1.7 million in 2008. The impairment of $22.3 million of amortizable intangible assets in 2008 related to customer relationships and non-compete agreements reduced annual amortization expense by approximately $1.3 million beginning in 2009.

Gain on Sale of Fixed Assets. In 2009, the Company sold its Ocala, Florida facility resulting in a pretax gain on sale of approximately $1.2 million. A pretax gain of $4.2 million from the June 2008 sale of the Company’s idle California facility and approximately $0.4 million in gains on the sale of excess equipment acquired in the Adorn acquisition and in the normal course of business are included in the 2008 results.

Operating Income (Loss). Operating income was $1.3 million in 2009 compared to a loss of $70.2 million in 2008. The decrease in the operating loss from period to period is primarily attributable to the impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets and fixed assets, the charges related to inventory write-downs and dispositions, reductions in SG&A and warehouse and delivery expenses, restructuring charges, and the gain on the sale of fixed assets as discussed above.

Stock Warrants Revaluation. The stock warrants revaluation expense of $0.8 million for 2009 represents non-cash charges related to mark-to-market accounting for common stock warrants issued to certain of the Company’s lenders in conjunction with the December 2008 amendment to the Credit Agreement. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (“Warrants Subject to Revaluation”) for further details.

Income Tax Benefit–Continuing Operations. The income tax benefit for twelve months 2008 reflected a non-cash charge of approximately $18.0 million related to the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets and virtually all state deferred tax assets in accordance with accounting rules requiring it to record a valuation allowance when a threshold cumulative loss period has been reached. An additional $1.1 million valuation allowance was provided in 2009 for deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities. The tax valuation allowance does not impact the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable earnings in the future.

The effective tax rate varies from the expected statutory rate primarily due to the tax valuation allowance that has been placed on the deferred tax assets that offset the tax benefit of the net loss for the current period. A tax benefit from continuing operations of approximately $0.6 million related to the utilization of a net operating loss carryforward to offset the gain recognized from discontinued operations was recognized in 2009. In addition, state tax expense of approximately $95,000 was recognized in the fourth quarter and twelve months of 2009. The effective tax rate on continuing operations (exclusive of the valuation allowance) was 26.9% and 36.4% for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Income (Loss) From Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax. Discontinued operations include the operating results, as well as the net gain or loss upon sale, of American Hardwoods (through its sale in January 2009) and the aluminum extrusion operation (through its sale in July 2009). After-tax income from discontinued operations in 2009 was $0.9 million or $0.10 per diluted share which was comprised of $0.5 million of income from operations related to the

aluminum extrusion operation, and a $0.4 million net gain related to the completion of the two divestitures. For 2008, the after-tax loss was $4.9 million or $0.61 diluted per diluted share which was comprised of a $1.0 million loss on operations and $3.9 million of estimated costs related to the write-down to fair value of certain assets pertaining to the two operations. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Net Loss. The net loss was $4.5 million or $0.49 per diluted share for 2009 compared to $71.5 million or $8.93 per diluted share for 2008. The changes in the net loss reflect the impact of the items previously discussed.

Average Diluted Shares Outstanding. Average diluted shares outstanding increased 14.8% in 2009 compared to 2008. The increase principally reflects the completion in March 2008 of the private placement of 1,125,000 shares of common stock and the sale in June 2008 of 1,850,000 shares in connection with the rights offering. Based on the timing of these two transactions, the shares were outstanding for the full year of 2009 and for a portion of the year in 2008.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to 2007

Net Sales. Net sales decreased $45.0 million or 12.2%, to $325.2 million in 2008 from $370.2 million in 2007. Net sales were negatively impacted as RV and MH retailers and manufacturers reduced inventory levels in response to restricted credit conditions and increasing credit costs, a decline in consumer discretionary spending, and economic trends that continued to weaken in all three of the primary markets the Company serves. Gypsum products, which are sold out of both manufacturing and distribution divisions, experienced pricing erosion during the year and resulted in overall manufacturing and distribution revenue declines. From a market perspective, the MH industry, which represents approximately 45% of our 2008 sales, experienced unit shipment declines of approximately 14% from the prior year. The RV industry, which represents 37% of our 2008 sales, experienced unit shipment declines of approximately 33% from year-to-year. The industrial and other markets represent approximately 18% of our sales in 2008. The residential housing market, which represents approximately 70% of the Company’s industrial revenue base, continued to be impacted by depressed conditions as new housing starts for 2008 were down 33% from 2007 (as reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce).

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold declined $26.9 million or 8.3% to $297.1 million in 2008 from $324.0 million in 2007. The decline was principally due to the impact of lower sales volumes. Improved production efficiencies, facility consolidations, and lower workers compensation costs also contributed to the decline in cost of goods sold. A $3.5 million impairment to fixed assets related to machinery, furniture and equipment and the write-down and disposal of $3.8 million of slow-moving inventory due to obsolescence and commodity market price declines in the fourth quarter of 2008 partially offset the decline. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased to 91.4% from 87.5% as a result of certain manufacturing overhead costs such as depreciation, building charges, and property taxes remaining relatively constant despite lower sales, as well as the charges mentioned above. Higher steel and other raw materials costs declined from peak levels due to the global economic downturn.

In addition, on March 30, 2008, in conjunction with the performance of its physical inventory at a Patrick manufacturing facility, the Company discovered that certain procedures were not being followed in accordance with the Company’s established policies. The Company conducted an internal investigation and discovered that certain members of the management team at that particular facility had engaged in collusive acts to circumvent various controls in order to misappropriate Company assets and concealed the misappropriation by underreporting scrap at the facility. As a result of the investigation and a second physical inventory, the Company recorded an adjustment to reduce inventory and increase cost of goods sold at this particular facility by approximately $0.7 million during the quarter ended March 30, 2008. The Company further performed a detailed analysis of its internal controls associated with the inventory and control thereof, and determined that appropriate controls were in place and working effectively, and that the level of collusion was significant enough to be able to circumvent the controls. The impact of the $0.7 million inventory adjustment did not have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity or Credit Facility at March 30, 2008, or in any other prior periods.

the final phase of the restructuring plan. Comparatively, total restructuring charges in 2007 were approximately $2.4 million or 0.7% of net sales, of which $2.2 million was included as a separate line item under costs of goods sold. These activities were related to the first phase of the restructuring plan. The restructuring plan included total estimated workforce reductions of approximately 240 employees, facility closures, and various asset write-downs.

Restructuring charges included as a separate line item under operating expenses were $0.2 million in 2008 for severance costs related to consolidation activities and for severance and benefits for a former officer who notified the Company of his intention to resign from the Company as of June 27, 2008. The Company entered into a separation agreement which included severance payments. In 2007, restructuring charges included as a separate line item under operating expenses were $0.2 million for severance packages and other contractual closing costs to be incurred in conjunction with various consolidation activities related to the acquisition integration plans.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $16.9 million or 38.2%, to $27.2 million in 2008 from $44.1 million in 2007. As a percent of net sales, gross profit decreased to 8.4% in 2008 from 11.9% in 2007. The decrease in the percentage of net sales is attributable to certain fixed overhead costs remaining relatively constant despite lower sales volumes, and a shift to lower margin products that was partially offset by direct labor efficiencies of approximately 0.4% of net sales. As discussed above, restructuring charges decreased $1.4 million to $0.8 million from $2.2 million in 2007. Additionally, estimated purchasing synergies resulting from the Adorn acquisition were offset by an adjustment in the first quarter of 2008 to increase cost of goods sold and reduce inventory by approximately $0.7 million related to the misappropriation of Company assets and the underreporting of scrap at one of the Company’s manufacturing facilities (as discussed above), and by the $3.5 million impairment to fixed assets and the $3.8 million write-down and disposal of slow-moving inventory adjustments made in the fourth quarter of 2008. Throughout 2008, the Company proactively adjusted its strategic operating plan based on rapidly declining market conditions and softening sales levels that began in the first quarter of 2008. Increases in fixed overhead costs including depreciation expense, rent and utilities of approximately $1.0 million or 0.3% of net sales, were largely offset by improvements in other overhead costs including workers compensation and group and liability insurance of approximately $0.9 million.

Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses decreased $2.4 million or 12.4%, to $16.5 million in 2008 from $18.9 million in 2007. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were 5.1% for both 2008 and 2007. Efficiency improvements realized from the consolidation of Adorn related to delivery costs were partially offset by increased fuel costs, including surcharges, and common carrier charges, as customers are requiring similar numbers of deliveries but of smaller quantities, thus resulting in higher delivery cost per unit.

SG&A Expenses. SG&A expenses in 2008 were basically flat with 2007, with an increase of $147,000 or 0.6%. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 8.3% in 2008 from 7.2% in 2007. A full year of depreciation expense related to the Adorn acquisition compared to 7½ months of depreciation expense in 2007 and an increase in capital expenditures primarily contributed to a $1.0 million increase in depreciation expense in 2008 compared to the prior year. SG&A expenses were partially offset by a reduction in expenses related to our ongoing efforts to align operating costs with revenue and maximize efficiencies gained through headcount reduction synergies achieved from the Adorn acquisition.

SG&A expenses in 2008 included the impact of $0.3 million in costs associated with certain vesting of employee retirement obligations incurred as a result of the change of control provisions associated with the completion of the previously announced rights offering, $0.5 million related to attaining certain milestone objectives in conjunction with the Adorn consolidation plan, and $0.2 million of restructuring charges. In 2008, we eliminated certain administrative salaried positions in an effort to continue to align our operating costs with revenues as discussed above. SG&A expenses also included a $1.9 million increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts in 2008 that was driven principally by certain customers of the Company that have closed or filed bankruptcy.

In 2007, SG&A included $0.9 million in stock compensation, and $1.0 million in deferred compensation vesting and severance expenses, all directly related to the Adorn acquisition and the consolidation of Adorn into Patrick. Additionally, the Company recognized approximately $1.1 million in incentive compensation expense related to the achievement of certain debt reduction targets established during 2007 as a result of the Company entering into a new credit facility upon consummation of the Adorn acquisition, and approximately $1.2 million of expenses related to

certain severance and litigation settlement costs, and the write-off of costs related to an overseas expansion initiative, and $0.2 million of restructuring charges.

Goodwill Impairment. The acquisition of Adorn in May 2007 resulted in the recording of $29.5 million of goodwill within the Primary Manufactured Products segment and in the Other Component Manufactured Products segments on the date of the acquisition, and represented the excess between the purchase price and the net assets acquired. During our annual goodwill impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2008, we determined that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded its implied fair value, which resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of $27.4 million. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded in 2007.

Intangible Assets Impairments. The acquisition of Adorn in May 2007 resulted in the recording of certain intangible assets including customer relationships, trademarks and non-compete agreements within the Primary Manufactured Products segment and in the Other Component Manufactured Products segments on the date of the acquisition. During our impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2008, we determined that the carrying value of these intangible assets exceeded their implied fair value, which resulted in an impairment charge of $29.3 million. No impairment charges were recorded in 2007.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. In conjunction with the Adorn acquisition in May 2007, the Company recognized $39.5 million in certain intangible assets which were being amortized over periods ranging from 5 to 19 years. The Company recorded amortization expense on these intangibles of $1.7 million in 2008 compared to $1.0 million in 2007. The impairment of $22.3 million of amortizable intangible assets will reduce annual amortization expense by approximately $1.3 million in 2009 and beyond.

Gain on Sale of Fixed Assets. A pretax gain of $4.2 million from the June 2008 sale of our idle Fontana, California facility was included in 2008 results. The building that was sold formerly housed the Company's west coast molding division. In 2007, the Company consolidated this molding division into its Fontana Custom Vinyls facility. The consolidation was part of the Company's multiphase integration effort following the acquisition of Adorn. In addition, 2008 results include $0.4 million in gains on the sale of excess equipment acquired in the Adorn acquisition and in the normal course of business.

Operating Loss. The operating loss was $70.2 million in 2008 compared to a loss of $2.5 million in 2007. The increase in the operating loss from period to period is primarily attributable to the impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets and fixed assets, the charges related to inventory write-downs or dispositions, the increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts, restructuring charges and the decline in net sales as discussed above. The year-end 2007 operating loss included approximately $2.4 million in restructuring charges related to the Adorn acquisition as well as approximately $4.2 million of other acquisition-related or integration related expenses and certain settlement and litigation costs as discussed above.

Income Tax Benefit–Continuing Operations. As of December 31, 2008, we provided a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities expected to reverse, resulting in a non-cash charge of approximately $18.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The effective tax rate on continuing operations was 36.4% (exclusive of the valuation allowance) for 2008. In 2007, the effective tax rate was 32.5%.

Income (Loss) From Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax. These results include the operations for American Hardwoods since its acquisition on January 29, 2007 and for the aluminum extrusion operation for full years in 2007 and 2008. The after-tax loss from discontinued operations in 2008 was $4.9 million or $0.61 per diluted share which was comprised of a $0.7 million loss on operations and $3.2 million related to estimated planned divestiture costs related to the aluminum extrusion operation, and a $0.3 million loss on operations and a $0.7 million loss on sale related to American Hardwoods. For 2007, after-tax income from discontinued operations was $0.2 million or $0.04 per diluted share. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Net Loss. The Company reported a net loss of approximately $71.5 million or $8.93 per diluted share for 2008 compared to a net loss of approximately $5.8 million or $1.03 per diluted share for 2007. The incremental decline in net income reflects the impact of the items previously discussed.

Average Diluted Shares Outstanding. Average diluted shares outstanding increased 41.7% in 2008 compared to 2007. The increase principally reflects the completion on March 12, 2008 of the private placement of 1,125,000 shares of common stock, and the sale of 1,850,000 shares in connection with the June 26, 2008 rights offering.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

General

We classify our businesses into three reportable business segments based on the Company’s method of internal reporting, which segregates its business by product category and production/distribution process. The Company regularly evaluates the performance of each segment and allocates resources to them based on a variety of indicators including sales, cost of goods sold, operating income and EBITDA.

The Company’s reportable business segments based on continuing operations are as follows:

●

Primary Manufactured Products utilizes various materials, including gypsum, particleboard, plywood, and fiberboard, which are bonded by adhesives or a heating process to a number of products, including vinyl, paper, foil, and high pressure laminate. These products are utilized to produce furniture, shelving, wall, counter, and cabinet products with a wide variety of finishes and textures.

●

Distribution distributes pre-finished wall and ceiling panels, drywall and drywall finishing products, electronics, adhesives, cement siding, interior passage doors, roofing products, laminate flooring, and other miscellaneous products. Previously, this segment included the American Hardwoods operation that was sold in January 2009 and was reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

●	Other Component Manufactured Products includes an adhesive division (closed in first quarter 2008), a cabinet door division, and a vinyl printing division.

Results relating to the planned divestiture of the aluminum extrusion operation, which comprised the entire Engineered Solutions segment, have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

In accordance with changes made to the Company’s internal reporting structure, the Company changed its segment reporting from three reportable segments to two reportable segments effective January 1, 2010. Operations previously included in the Other Component Manufactured Products segment will be consolidated with the operations in the Primary Manufactured Products segment to form one new segment called Manufacturing. The other reportable segment, Distribution, will remain the same as reported in prior periods. Prior year results will be reclassified to reflect the current year presentation beginning with the first quarter of 2010.

The table below presents information about the sales, gross profit and operating income (loss) from continuing operations of those segments. A reconciliation to consolidated totals is presented in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to 2008

Primary Manufactured Products

Sales. Total sales decreased $73.7 million or 32.9%, to $150.2 million in 2009 from $223.9 million in 2008. This segment accounted for approximately 69% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2009. As discussed earlier, decreased unit shipment levels in the MH and RV industries and declines in the industrial market which were exacerbated by the current credit crisis in both 2009 and 2008, largely impacted the year’s results. From a pricing perspective, overall price increases in certain commodity products were offset by pricing declines in certain other major commodity products from period to period.

Gross profit. Gross profit decreased $0.7 million or 5.4%, to $12.4 million in 2009 from $13.1 million in 2008. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 8.3% in 2009 compared to 5.9% in the prior year. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales in 2009 is primarily driven by charges that impacted the 2008 results, which included $3.8 million for the write down and disposal of inventory due to obsolescence and commodity market price declines, $3.5 million related to fixed asset impairments, a $0.7 million adjustment to inventory and cost of goods sold related to the misappropriation of Company assets and underreporting of scrap at one of the Company’s manufacturing facilities, and restructuring charges of $0.5 million.

Operating income (loss). Operating income was $3.7 million compared to an operating loss of $10.7 million in 2008. Operating results improved in 2009 largely due to the 2008 charges discussed above and reduced administrative costs, primarily resulting from staff and wage reductions and lower warehouse and delivery expenses. The operating loss in 2008 reflected the fixed asset impairment and inventory adjustments discussed above as well as a goodwill impairment charge of $9.2 million and an impairment charge for other intangible assets of $0.5 million.

Distribution

Sales. Sales decreased $27.6 million or 38.6%, to $43.8 million in 2009 from $71.4 million in 2008. This segment accounted for approximately 21% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2009. The decline in sales is attributable to the approximate 39% decline in unit shipments in the MH industry, which is the primary market sector this segment serves. The decline in sales was partially offset by pricing increases on gypsum related products of approximately 6%.

Gross profit. Gross profit decreased $3.8 million or 40.9%, to $5.6 million in 2009 from $9.4 million in 2008. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased to 12.7% in 2009 from 13.2% in 2008. The decrease in gross profit dollars for 2009 is due to the decline in sales primarily resulting from decreased shipment levels in the MH industry. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales is attributable to certain fixed overhead costs decreasing but not in proportion to the lower sales volumes.

Operating income. Operating income decreased $1.4 million or 95.0%, to $0.1 million in 2009 from $1.5 million in 2008 due primarily to the decrease in gross profit dollars described above.

Other Component Manufactured Products

Sales. Sales decreased $15.7 million or 36.5%, to $27.3 million in 2009 from $43.0 million in 2008. This segment accounted for approximately 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2009. The decline in sales primarily reflects overall unit shipment declines in the RV and MH industries.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased $0.4 million or 13.8%, to $3.3 million in 2009 from $2.9 million in 2008. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 11.9% in 2009 from 6.7% in 2008. The increase in gross profit dollars primarily reflects a shift in product mix and margin improvement. Gross profit for 2008 includes the impact of approximately $0.2 million in restructuring charges related to the closing and consolidation of two Patrick divisions.

Operating income (loss). Operating income in 2009 was $1.7 million compared to an operating loss of $47.0 million in 2008. The operating loss in 2008 included $47.0 million of charges related to the impairment of intangible assets. A decline in cost of goods sold more than offset lower sales volumes in 2009 as discussed above. In addition, reduced administrative costs, primarily resulting from wage and staff reductions, positively contributed to the operating income improvement.

Unallocated Corporate Expenses

Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $12.9 million to $6.7 million in 2009 from $19.6 million in 2008 primarily reflecting salaried and hourly headcount and wage reductions. See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to 2007

Primary Manufactured Products

Sales. Total sales decreased $24.0 million or 9.7%, to $223.9 million in 2008 from $247.9 million in 2007. This segment accounted for approximately 67% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2008. As discussed earlier, decreased unit shipment levels in the MH and RV industries and declines in the industrial market which were exacerbated by the current credit crisis in 2008, largely impacted the year’s results on a year-over-year basis. From a pricing perspective, overall price increases in certain commodity products were offset by pricing declines in certain other major commodity products from period to period.

Gross profit. Gross profit decreased $9.8 million or 42.7%, to $13.1 million in 2008 from $22.9 million in 2007. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased to 5.9% in 2008 compared to 9.2% in the prior year. The decrease in the percentage of sales is attributable to certain fixed overhead costs remaining relatively constant despite lower sales volumes, and a shift in product mix to lower margin products. Gross profit for 2008 and 2007 includes the impact of restructuring charges of $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. In addition, gross profit in 2008 includes a $3.5 million fixed asset impairment charge, a $3.8 million charge to reflect the write down and disposal of inventory due to obsolescence and commodity market price declines, and a $0.7 million adjustment to inventory and cost of goods sold related to the misappropriation of Company assets and underreporting of scrap at one of the Company’s manufacturing facilities.

Operating income (loss). For 2008, the operating loss was $10.7 million compared to operating income of $7.0 million in 2007. The decline in operating income in 2008 reflected the decline in gross profit (which included the fixed asset impairment and inventory adjustments discussed above) as well as charges reflecting the impairment of intangible assets. Based on the results of the Company’s annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2008, it was determined that the entire carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets attributable to this segment was impaired. As a result, a goodwill impairment charge of $9.2 million and an impairment charge for other intangible assets of $0.5 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008. No impairment charges were recorded in 2007. These impairment charges and the decline in gross profit were partially offset by lower restructuring charges and

lower SG&A expenses (including a reduction in administrative costs resulting from staffing reductions and reduced charges for vesting of retirement obligations).

Distribution

Sales. Sales decreased $21.5 million or 23.2%, to $71.4 million in 2008 from $92.9 million in 2007. This segment accounted for approximately 22% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2008. The decline in sales is attributable to the approximate 14% decline in unit shipments in the MH industry, which is the primary market sector this segment serves. Additionally, pricing declines on prices charged to customers on certain major commodity products negatively impacted revenues in this segment by an estimated $3.0 million. The decrease in sales is attributable to pricing declines on gypsum related products of approximately 15%. These declines were partially offset by increased new product sales of approximately $3.0 million.

Gross profit. Gross profit decreased $2.4 million or 20.2%, to $9.4 million in 2008 from $11.8 million in 2007. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 13.2% in 2008 from 12.7% in 2007. The decrease in gross profit dollars for 2008 is due to the decline in sales primarily resulting from decreased shipment levels in the MH industry. The increase in percent of sales is attributable to the Company being able to maintain margins in light of pricing declines and due to increased sales of the Company’s flooring product line, which carries higher gross margins.

Operating income. Operating income decreased $2.1 million or 57.7%, to $1.5 million in 2008 from $3.6 million in 2007 due primarily to the decrease in gross profit dollars described above.

Other Component Manufactured Products

Sales. Sales increased $0.7 million or 1.5%, to $43.0 million in 2008 from $42.3 million in 2007. This segment accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2008. The increase in sales reflects the full year impact of the addition of a cabinet door facility and vinyl printing facility as the result of the May 2007 Adorn acquisition. The acquisition of Adorn contributed sales of $42.2 million and $32.9 million for 2008 and 2007, respectively. These increased sales were primary offset by the closing and consolidation of one of the Company’s hardwood cabinet door operations in late 2007.

Gross profit. Gross profit decreased $0.6 million or 18.8%, to $2.9 million in 2008 from $3.5 million in 2007. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased to 6.7% in 2008 from 8.3% in 2007. Gross profit includes the impact of approximately $0.2 million in restructuring charges in 2008 related to the closing and consolidation of two Patrick divisions. Restructuring charges of $1.0 million in 2007 related to the closing and consolidation of the Company’s cabinet door division as a result of the Adorn acquisition. The decrease in gross profit dollars is due to the decline in net sales as discussed above. The decrease in the percentage of sales is attributable to certain fixed overhead costs remaining relatively constant despite lower sales volumes, and a shift in product mix to lower margin products in the cabinet door division.

Operating income (loss). The operating loss in 2008 was $47.0 million compared to a profit of $135,000 in 2007. This operating loss was primarily due to charges reflecting the impairment of intangible assets. Based on the results of the Company’s impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2008, it was determined that approximately $18.2 million of the carrying value of goodwill and $28.8 million of the carrying value of other intangible assets attributable to this segment was impaired. As a result, total impairment charges of $47.0 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008. No impairment charges were recorded in 2007.

Unallocated Corporate Expenses

Unallocated corporate expenses increased $3.1 million to $19.6 million from $16.5 million in 2007 primarily reflecting twelve months of Adorn related activity in 2008 compared to 7½ months in 2007. Wage reductions partially offset the increase in unallocated corporate expenses in 2008. See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operations represent the net income or the net loss sustained in the reported periods adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under our Credit Facility. Our principal uses of cash have been to support seasonal working capital demands, meet debt service requirements and support our capital expenditure plans.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.7 million in 2009 compared to $2.0 million in 2008. Certain factors that contributed to the increase in operating cash flows in 2009, with no comparable amount in the prior year, include: (1) $0.8 million related to mark-to-market accounting for common stock warrants issued to certain of the Company’s lenders in December 2008 and (2) interest paid-in-kind (“PIK interest”) on the Company’s term loan of $1.0 million (see “Capital Resources” for further details) which were offset in part by a $0.7 million change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps. In addition, the year-over-year change in operating cash flows reflects a lower net loss in 2009 that was impacted by a reduction in warehouse and delivery and SG&A expenses, all of which were in line with the Company’s operating plan to keep operating costs aligned with the revenue base given current economic conditions. Operating cash flows in 2008 included the impact of non-cash impairment charges and inventory write-downs of approximately $64.7 million.

Trade receivables increased $5.4 million in 2009 from December 2008 reflecting a stronger seasonal demand cycle due to improved shipment levels in the RV industry in the fourth quarter of 2009 of approximately 76% compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. Additionally, in 2008, many of our larger customers began their normal holiday season shutdowns in early December compared to a later shutdown in December 2009.

Cash provided by operating activities included a decrease in inventory levels of $4.7 million primarily resulting from a shift in demand concentration to operations with historically better inventory turns and the Company’s continued focus on improving inventory turns and reducing inventory to levels more consistent with demand in order to maximize liquidity. Inventory cash flows in 2008 included an adjustment of $3.8 million for the write-down and disposal of slow moving inventories due to obsolescence and commodity market price declines and a $0.7 million physical inventory adjustment at one of the Company’s manufacturing facilities. In both 2009 and 2008, the Company focused on reducing inventory levels and managing inventory costs by closely following customer sales levels and reducing purchases correspondingly, while working together with key suppliers to reduce lead-time and minimum quantity requirements.

The $1.4 million net decrease to accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2009 was due to a reduction in employee headcount, which drove lower payroll and benefit related accruals, and the discontinued operations being sold, which reduced accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $20.5 million to $2.0 million in 2008 compared to $22.5 million in 2007. The year-over-year change in operating cash flow is primarily the result of lower net income in 2008 that was largely impacted by the deterioration of macroeconomic conditions that negatively impacted sales volumes in the RV, MH and residential housing markets and industries. The 2008 net loss also included non-cash impairment charges and inventory write-downs of approximately $64.7 million. Inventory decreased $16.5 million reflecting a decline in customer inventory levels and an increased focus on managing working capital needs.

In 2007, trade receivables decreased $16.1 million primarily reflecting plant shutdowns at the end of 2007. Inventory decreased $17.3 million and accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $11.7 million in 2007 primarily reflecting normal seasonal declines in inventory levels which comprise a significant portion of the accounts payable balance at any given time. In addition, the Company improved its inventory turns and entered into a vendor managed inventory program in June 2007.

Investing Activities

Investing activities provided cash of $13.2 million in 2009 compared to $1.9 million in 2008. Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and facilities included $1.5 million from the sale of the Ocala, Florida facility in December 2009, $4.4 million from the sale of American Hardwoods equipment in January 2009 and the building in June 2009, and $7.4 million from the July 2009 sale of the aluminum extrusion operation. Approximately $6.6 million was received from the sale of the California facility in June 2008.

Capital expenditures in 2009 were $0.3 million versus $4.2 million in the prior year. The capital plan for full year 2010 includes expenditures of up to $1.0 million, and such expenditures are limited to $2.25 million for any fiscal year per our amended Credit Agreement. Capital expenditures in 2008 were primarily related to certain building expansion initiatives to accommodate the consolidation of certain Patrick and Adorn business units. Additionally, in conjunction with the acquisition of Adorn in May 2007, the Company was able to take advantage of excess redundant equipment as a result of the consolidation plan and therefore minimize capital expenditures in 2009 while still performing regularly scheduled preventative maintenance on all of its equipment.

Cash outflows for investing activities were $86.8 million in 2007 and included $2.4 million for capital expenditures that were in conjunction with our strategic and capital plans, the acquisitions of American Hardwoods and Adorn for $7.1 million and $78.7 million, respectively.

Financing Activities

Our net financing cash outflows were approximately $19.6 million in 2009 compared to $1.3 million in 2008. In 2009, the Company paid down approximately $14.5 million in principal on its long-term debt. The additional repayments on long-term debt, including the payoff of the remaining $3.3 million of principal on the industrial revenue bonds, were funded by the $2.5 million of net proceeds from the sale of the American Hardwoods building, the $4.4 million of net proceeds from the aluminum extrusion building and equipment sale, and the $1.5 million of net proceeds from the sale of the Ocala, Florida facility. In addition, the remaining net proceeds of $3.0 million from the aluminum extrusion operation sale were used to reduce borrowings under the Company’s revolving line of credit.

In addition, net proceeds of approximately $8.3 million from the sales of the Woodburn, Oregon and Fontana, California facilities were used to pay down principal on the Company’s term loan through March 29, 2010.

Our net financing needs were $1.3 million in 2008 compared to a net inflow of $64.1 million in 2007. In 2008, net borrowings under our revolver of $16.7 million, proceeds of $7.9 million from the private placement of common stock and $13.0 million from our rights offering, substantially offset principal repayments on long-term debt of $38.3 million.

In 2007, net cash provided by financing activities included borrowings under debt agreements of $101.8 million (principally to fund the Adorn and American Hardwoods acquisitions), and $10.9 million of proceeds from the private placement of common stock. Net short-term borrowing payments of $8.5 million and principal payments on long-term debt of $38.1 million partially reduced the cash inflows.

Capital Resources

In April 2007, in conjunction with the addition of a new paint line facility and equipment, the Company issued $4.5 million in industrial revenue bonds. These bonds were purchased by JPMorgan Chase and were subject to the terms of a loan agreement with JPMorgan Chase. The bonds bore interest at a variable tax-exempt bond rate with principal and interest payments due monthly over five years and covenants consistent with the Company’s revolving credit agreement. The final installment was originally due in April 2012. Approximately $3.3 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the aluminum extrusion operation were used to pay off the remaining principal on the bonds in July 2009.

In May 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of Adorn. The acquisition was funded through both debt and equity financing, which was structured to provide additional liquidity to facilitate the combined companies’ future growth plans and working capital needs. In connection with the Adorn acquisition, the Company entered into an eight-bank syndication agreement led by JPMorgan Securities Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. for a $110 million senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) comprised of revolving credit availability of $35 million and a term

loan of $75 million. The Credit Facility provided for a five-year maturity and replaced the Company’s previous credit agreement and related term loans. The Credit Facility’s interest was at Prime or the Eurodollar rate plus the Company’s credit spread which was based on cash flow leverage. The term-debt and revolving credit loans may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Interest payments are due monthly with quarterly principal payments that began in September 2007. The Company incurred approximately $2.2 million in financing costs as part of this transaction. Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by essentially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company. In order to reduce its vulnerability to variable interest rates, the package included an interest rate swap agreement with interest fixed at a rate of 4.78% for approximately $12.9 million of term-debt at May 18, 2007. In July 2007, the Company entered into a second interest rate swap agreement on approximately $10.0 million of term-debt to fix interest at a rate of 5.60%.

Concurrently with the closing of the Adorn acquisition, Tontine Capital Partners, L.P. and Tontine Capital Overseas Master Fund, L.P. (collectively, “Tontine Capital”), significant shareholders of Patrick, purchased 980,000 shares of Patrick common stock in a private placement for total proceeds of approximately $11.0 million. Tontine Capital also provided additional interim debt financing of approximately $14.0 million in the form of senior subordinated promissory notes. On March 10, 2008, the Company issued an additional 1,125,000 shares of its common stock to Tontine Capital for an aggregate purchase price of $7.9 million. Proceeds from the sale of common stock were used to prepay approximately $7.7 million of the approximate $14.8 million in principal then outstanding under the senior subordinated promissory notes and to pay related accrued interest.

In June 2008, the Company conducted a rights offering of 1,850,000 shares of common stock to its shareholders and raised a total of approximately $13.0 million of additional equity capital. The Company used the proceeds from the rights offering to prepay approximately $7.1 million of remaining principal under the senior subordinated promissory notes and to pay approximately $0.3 million of related accrued interest, and used the remaining proceeds to reduce borrowings under its Credit Facility.

The Company amended its Credit Agreement in March 2008 and modified certain financial covenants, terms and reporting requirements. In December 2008, the Company entered into a Second Amendment and Waiver (the “Second Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment included both the addition and modification of certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements and amended the termination date of the Credit Agreement to expire on January 3, 2011. Under the terms of the Second Amendment, the lenders waived any event of default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that resulted from the Company’s failure to comply with the Maximum Leverage Ratio and Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants for the Computation Period ended September 28, 2008. The financial covenants were amended to eliminate the Consolidated Net Worth, Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Maximum Leverage Ratio covenants, in lieu of new one-month and two-month minimum Consolidated EBITDA requirements and a $2.25 million capital expenditures limitation for any fiscal year.

Effective with the Second Amendment, the interest rates for borrowings under the revolving line of credit are the Alternate Base Rate (the”ABR”) plus 3.50%, or the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.50%. For term loans, interest rates are the ABR plus 6.50%, or LIBOR plus 7.50%. The fee payable by the Company on unused but committed portions of the revolving loan facility was amended to 0.50%. The Company has the option to defer payment of any interest on term loans in excess of 4.5% (“PIK Interest”) until the term maturity date. Since January 2009, the Company has elected the PIK interest option. As a result, the principal amount outstanding under the term loan for the year ended December 31, 2009 was increased by approximately $1.0 million to reflect PIK interest. For 2009, PIK interest is reflected as a non-cash charge adjustment in operating cash flows under the caption “Interest paid-in-kind”.

In addition, effective with the Second Amendment, the interest rates on the obligation were adjusted and the Company determined that its two swap agreements were ineffective as hedges against changes in interest rates and, as a result, the swaps were de-designated. Losses on the swaps included in other comprehensive income as of the de-designation date are being amortized into net income (loss) over the life of the swaps utilizing the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. All future changes in the fair value of the de-designated swaps will be recorded within earnings on the statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, amortized losses of $0.3 million and $46,000, respectively, were recognized in interest expense on the

consolidated statements of operations. The de-designation losses to be amortized to interest expense is expected to approximate $0.3 million in 2010. In addition, the change in the fair value of the de-designated swaps for the year ended December 31, 2009 resulted in a $0.7 million reduction to interest expense and the corresponding liability.

As part of the lenders’ consideration for the Second Amendment, on December 11, 2008, the Company issued warrants to the lenders to purchase an aggregate of 474,049 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment related to anti-dilution provisions, at an exercise price per share of $1 (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are immediately exercisable, subject to anti-dilution provisions and expire on December 11, 2018. Pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants was increased to an aggregate of 483,742 shares and the exercise price was adjusted to $0.98 per share as a result of the issuance on May 21, 2009 and on June 22, 2009, pursuant to the Company’s 1987 Stock Option Program, as amended, of restricted shares at a price less than, and options to purchase common stock with an exercise price less than, the warrant exercise price then in effect. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

At March 1, 2009 (February fiscal month end), the Company was in violation of its Consolidated EBITDA financial covenant under the terms of the Credit Agreement. On April 14, 2009, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Company’s Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment amended and/or added certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements and included the following provisions:

(a)	The lenders waived any actual or potential Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) resulting from the Company’s failure to comply with the one-month and two-month Consolidated EBITDA covenants for the fiscal months ended March 1, 2009 and March 29, 2009.

(b)

The financial covenants were modified to establish new one-month and two-month minimum Consolidated EBITDA requirements that became effective beginning with the fiscal months ended June 28, 2009 and July 26, 2009, respectively. Until such dates, there was no applicable minimum Consolidated EBITDA requirement.

(c)	The definition of Consolidated EBITDA was amended to exclude the effects of losses and gains due to discontinued operations and restructuring charges, subject to approval of the administrative agent.

(d)	The revolving commitments were reduced by $5.0 million to a maximum of $30.0 million.

(e)	The monthly borrowing limits under the revolving commitments were reset in conjunction with projected monthly cash flows.

(f)

The Company agreed to provide an appraisal by a lender approved firm of each parcel of real estate owned by the Company and its subsidiaries within 60 days of the effectiveness of the Third Amendment. Based on the results of the appraisals, there was no indication of impairment for any of the real estate parcels.

(g)	The receipt of net cash proceeds related to any asset disposition, other than proceeds attributable to inventory and receivables, will be used to pay down principal on the term loan.

Effective with the Third Amendment, the minimum one and two-month Consolidated EBITDA requirement is measured at the end of each month beginning with the fiscal months ended June 28, 2009 and July 26, 2009, respectively. The maximum borrowing limit amount (as defined in the Second Amendment) was reduced from $33.0 million to $29.0 million. The principal amount outstanding under the term loan at March 29, 2009 remained unchanged under the amended terms. The interest rates for borrowings under the revolving line of credit and the term loan, and the expiration date of the Credit Agreement also remained unchanged.

Consolidated EBITDA is calculated pursuant to the Credit Agreement, whereby adjustments to reported EBITDA include items such as (i) removing the effects of non-cash gains and losses, non-cash impairment charges, and certain non-recurring items; (ii) adding back non-cash stock compensation expenses; (iii) excluding the impact of certain closed operations; and (iv) excluding the effects of losses and gains due to discontinued operations and restructuring charges, subject to approval of the administrative agent.

The Company has maintained compliance with the revised minimum one and two-month Consolidated EBITDA requirements as modified in the Third Amendment. There was no applicable minimum Consolidated EBITDA requirement for the fiscal month ended March 29, 2009. For the fiscal month ended June 28, 2009, the one-month minimum Consolidated EBITDA was $279,300 versus actual Consolidated EBITDA of $761,000. For the fiscal month ended September 27, 2009, the one and two-month minimum Consolidated EBITDA was $648,800 and $2,437,600,

respectively, versus actual Consolidated EBITDA for the same periods of $892,000 and $2,604,000, respectively. For the fiscal month ended December 31, 2009, the one and two-month minimum Consolidated EBITDA was ($206,200) and $570,400, respectively, versus actual Consolidated EBITDA for the same periods of $180,000 and $982,000, respectively.

On December 11, 2009, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Company’ Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment amended certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements to better align with the Company’s updated operating and cash flow projections for fiscal year 2010. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the financial covenants were modified to establish new quarterly minimum EBITDA requirements that will replace the existing minimum one-month and two-month requirements beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2010. In addition, the monthly borrowing limits under the revolving commitments were reset in conjunction with updated projected monthly cash flows for 2010.

Effective with the Fourth Amendment, borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to a borrowing base, up to a maximum borrowing limit of $28.0 million for fiscal year 2010. The interest rates for borrowings under the revolving line of credit and the term loan, and the expiration date of the Credit Agreement remained unchanged. The Company’s ability to access these borrowings is subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit facility including the financial covenants.

During 2009, the Company paid down $9.8 million in principal on its senior notes, and paid $4.7 million in principal on outstanding bonds. See discussion below. In addition, borrowings under the Company’s revolving line of credit were reduced by $4.7 million in 2009.

Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary capital requirements are to meet seasonal working capital demands, meet debt service requirements, and support our capital expenditure plans. We also have a substantial asset collateral base, which we believe if sold in the normal course, is more than sufficient to cover our outstanding senior debt. We obtain additional liquidity through selling our products and collecting receivables. We use the funds collected to pay creditors and employees and to fund working capital needs. The Company has another source of cash through the cash surrender value of life insurance policies. We believe that cash generated from operations and borrowings under our current Credit Facility and life insurance policies will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements and capital expenditure programs as currently contemplated. Our current Credit Facility allows us to borrow funds based on certain percentages of accounts receivable (80% of eligible accounts) and inventories (50% of eligible inventory), less outstanding letters of credit.

We are subject to market risk primarily in relation to our cash and short-term investments. The interest rate we may earn on the cash we invest in short-term investments is subject to market fluctuations. While we attempt to minimize market risk and maximize return, changes in market conditions may significantly affect the income we earn on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. In addition, a portion of our debt obligations under our Credit Facility are currently subject to variable rates of interest based on LIBOR.

Cash, cash equivalents, and borrowings available under our Credit Facility are expected to be sufficient to finance the known and/or foreseeable liquidity and capital needs of the Company for at least the next 12 months. Our working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes related to the RV and MH industries, the timing of deliveries and the payment cycles of our customers. In the event that our operating cash flow is inadequate and one or more of our capital resources were to become unavailable, we would seek to revise our operating strategies accordingly.

We expect to maintain compliance with the revised minimum quarterly Consolidated EBITDA covenant, as modified in the Fourth Amendment, based on the Company’s 2010 operating plan, notwithstanding continued uncertain and volatile market conditions. Management has also identified other actions within its control that could be implemented, if necessary, to help the Company reduce its leverage position. These actions include the exploration of asset sales, divestitures and other types of capital raising alternatives. However, there can be no assurance that these

actions will be successful or generate cash resources adequate to retire or sufficiently reduce the Company’s indebtedness under the Credit Agreement prior to its expiration.

Our Credit Facility is scheduled to expire on January 3, 2011. We currently have the intent and we believe we have the ability to refinance during 2010. However, we do not believe we will be able to consummate this refinancing by the time we issue our balance sheet for the first quarter of 2010. In order to classify our outstanding indebtedness as a long-term liability beginning with the first quarter of 2010, the following two criteria are required: (1) the Company must have the intent to refinance, and (2) the Company must have the ability to consummate the refinancing. The ability to consummate the refinancing can be satisfied by either: (a) the issuance of a long-term obligation after the date of the Company‘s balance sheet but before that balance sheet is issued; or (b) entrance into a financing agreement before the balance sheet is issued that clearly permits it to refinance the short-term obligation on a long-term basis on terms that are readily determinable, and certain conditions are being satisfied. Based on the above criteria, our outstanding long-term indebtedness as of March 28, 2010 (first fiscal quarter end) is expected to be reclassified as a short-term liability until such time as the refinancing of our Credit Facility is completed.

If we fail to comply with the covenants under our amended Credit Agreement, there can be no assurance that a majority of the lenders that are party to our Credit Agreement will consent to a further amendment of the Credit Agreement. In this event, the lenders could cause the related indebtedness to become due and payable prior to maturity or it could result in the Company having to refinance this indebtedness under unfavorable terms. If our debt were accelerated, our assets might not be sufficient to repay our debt in full should they be required to be sold outside of the normal course of business, such as through forced liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings. Further, if current unfavorable credit market conditions were to persist throughout the remainder of 2010, there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance any or all of this indebtedness.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The SEC has defined a company’s most critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Although management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available when they are made. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Other significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies and judgments:

Trade Receivables. We are engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of building products and material for use primarily by the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries and other industrial markets. Trade receivables consist primarily of amounts due to us from our normal business activities. We control credit risk related to our trade receivables through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. In assessing the carrying value of its trade receivables, the Company estimates the recoverability by making assumptions based on our historical write-off and collection experience and specific risks identified in the accounts receivable portfolio. A change in the Company’s assumptions would result in the Company recovering an amount of its accounts receivable that differs from the carrying value. Additional changes to the allowance could be necessary in the future if a customer’s creditworthiness deteriorates, or if actual defaults are higher than the Company’s historical experience. Any difference could result in an increase or decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not accrue interest on any of its trade receivables. Based on the Company’s estimates and assumptions, the allowance for doubtful accounts was decreased by $1.3 million to $0.7 million at December 31, 2009 compared to $2.0 million for 2008. In 2008, the allowance for doubtful accounts was increased by $1.9 million to $2.0 million compared to $153,000 for 2007 to reflect certain customers of the Company that had closed or filed bankruptcy. There were no material changes made to the allowance in 2007.

Inventories. Estimated inventory allowances for slow-moving and obsolete inventories are based on current assessments of future demands, market conditions and related management initiatives. Based on the Company’s estimates and assumptions, an allowance for inventory obsolescence of $1.3 million and $2.0 million was established at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. If market conditions or customer requirements change and are less favorable than those projected by management, inventory allowances are adjusted accordingly. The Company decreased its reserve for obsolescence by $0.7 million at December 31, 2009 from $2.0 million at December 31, 2008 reflecting a continued focus on managing inventory to levels more consistent with demand in order to maximize liquidity. During 2008, depressed market conditions and commodity market price declines contributed to a significant decrease in product demand. As a result, the Company increased its reserve for obsolescence by $0.9 million to $2.0 million at December 31, 2008 from $1.1 million at December 31, 2007 to reflect inventory dedicated to certain customers who had filed bankruptcy. In 2007, the reserve was increased to $1.1 million from $139,000 in the prior year primarily to reflect changes in customer demand.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those items. Events that may indicate that certain long-lived assets might be impaired might include a significant downturn in the economy or the RV or MH industries, and/or a loss of a major customer or several customers. Our cash flow estimates are based on historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating conditions and forecasts. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value. Our estimates of fair value represent our best estimate based

on industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions. A change in the Company’s business climate in 2008, including a significant downturn in the Company’s operations, led to a required assessment of the recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets, which subsequently resulted in an impairment charge of $3.5 million related to machinery and equipment which is included in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of operations. No events or changes in circumstances occurred that required the Company to assess the recoverability of its property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2007, and therefore the Company has not recognized any impairment charges for those years. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the impairment charge in 2008.

All of the Company’s goodwill and long-lived asset impairment assessments are based on established fair value techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis. These analyses require management to estimate both future cash flows and an appropriate discount rate to reflect the risk inherent in the current business model. The assumptions supporting valuation models, including discount rates, are determined using the best estimates as of the date of the impairment review. These estimates are subject to significant uncertainty, and differences in actual future results may require further impairment charges, which may be significant.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets. The Company has made acquisitions in the past that included goodwill and other intangible assets and has made a purchase subsequent to the balance sheet date which included goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to an annual (or under certain circumstances more frequent) impairment test based on its estimated fair value. There are many assumptions and estimates underlying the determination of an impairment loss. Another estimate using different, but still reasonable, assumptions could produce a significantly different result. Therefore, impairment losses could be recorded in the future. We perform the required impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually, or more frequently if conditions warrant. For purposes of the goodwill impairment test, the reporting units of the Company are utilized. The impairment tests performed by the Company are based on estimates of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units. The fair value is calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis. A change in the Company’s business climate in future periods, including a significant downturn in the Company’s operations, and/or a significant decrease in the market value of the Company’s discounted cash flows could result in an impairment charge.

The impairment calculation compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill and intangible assets with the carrying amount. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Finite-lived intangible assets that meet certain criteria continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are also subject to an impairment test based on estimated undiscounted cash flows when impairment indicators exist, similar to other long-lived assets.

Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements sets out the impact of $56.7 million of charges taken in 2008 to recognize the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets and the factors which led to changes in estimates and assumptions. Significant assumptions used in our step one discounted cash flow analysis for the reporting units included a five-year compound average growth rate (CAGR) of 0.7%, weighted average cost of capital of 14.5%, and a terminal value growth rate of 2.5%.

Deferred Income Taxes. The carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax assets assumes that the Company will be able to generate sufficient taxable income in future years to utilize these deferred tax assets. If these assumptions change, the Company may be required to record valuation allowances against its gross deferred tax assets, which would cause the Company to record additional income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Management evaluates the potential the Company will be able to realize its gross deferred tax assets and assesses the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis. The Company recorded an $18.0 million valuation allowance in 2008 and increased the allowance by $1.1 million in 2009. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

OTHER

Sale of Property

In 2009, the Company sold its manufacturing facility in Ocala, Florida, resulting in a pretax gain on sale of approximately $1.2 million. The building sale was part of the Company’s continuing effort to reduce its leverage position. In 2008, the Company sold an idle manufacturing facility in Fontana, California, which was exited in 2007, resulting in a pretax gain on sale of approximately $4.2 million. The Fontana building formerly housed the Company’s west coast molding division. In 2007, the Company consolidated this molding division into its Fontana custom vinyls facility. The consolidation was part of a multiphase integration effort following the acquisition of Adorn.

In the first quarter of 2010, the Company sold its owned manufacturing and distribution facilities in Woodburn, Oregon and Fontana, California. The Company is currently operating in the same facility in Oregon under a license agreement with the purchaser while it explores options for a more suitable long-term solution. In addition, the Company is operating in the same facility in Fontana, California under a lease agreement with the purchaser for the use of approximately one-half of the square footage previously occupied. The Company anticipates recording a pretax gain on the sales of approximately $2.8 million in its first quarter 2010 operating results.

Purchase of Property

Not Applicable.

Inflation

The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of lauan, gypsum, and particleboard are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, such as the price of oil, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of certain commodities have historically been volatile. During periods of rising commodity prices, we have generally been able to pass the increased costs to our customers in the form of surcharges and price increases . We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on results of operations for the periods presented.

ITEM 9.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On June 22, 2009, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors, selected Crowe Horwath LLP (“Crowe Horwath”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Also on June 22, 2009, the Audit Committee informed Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) that it will be dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The decision to change independent registered accounting firms was made by the Company’s Audit Committee following the solicitation of proposals from three other registered public accounting firms. The decision of the Audit Committee was ratified by the Board of Directors. The decision was made following a review of the proposals submitted, including the price and services to be provided. The Audit Committee also gave significant consideration to changes in the condition of the overall economic environment, the industries in which the Company operates, and in the markets it serves.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the subsequent interim period through June 22, 2009, the Company had (i) no disagreements with E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial

statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, any of which that, if not resolved to E&Y’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of any such disagreement in connection with its reports for such years and interim period and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K during the two most recent fiscal years or the subsequent interim period.

E&Y’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 do not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor are they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the subsequent interim period through the date of the Company’s appointment of Crowe Horwath on June 22, 2009, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Crowe Horwath regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.

There were no disagreements with accountants during the fiscal years 2008 and 2007.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Patrick Industries, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Patrick Industries, Inc. and subsidiary companies as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit 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 includes, examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
