6.	Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a management incentive plan, (the “Plan”) which provides for the grants of incentive Class D limited partnership units in Holdings to selected employees of the Company.

Under the terms of the Plan, the Class D units vest with time-based vesting over a three year period. Upon vesting, each Class D unit entitles the unit holder the option to purchase a Class A unit in Holdings. All Class D units are issued with an exercise price equal to the then fair value of Holdings’ Class A units as determined by the Company.

The fair value of the Class D units granted is based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, the Company is required to incorporate a volatility factor in the fair value calculation. The volatility factor is developed through the use of a sample of peer group companies consisting of publicly-traded companies that operate in the Company’s same industry. The Company granted 100,000 incentive Class D units during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Compensation expense related to Class D units was $0.05 million and $0.14 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Because individuals receiving these Class D unit awards are employees of Norcraft, the compensation expense is recorded at the Norcraft level.

A summary of Class D Unit activity under the Plan is as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
	Units			Weighted- Average Exercise Price
Beginning balance		6,886,577		$	0.26
Granted		100,000		$	0.34
Forfeited/expired		(50,000	)	$	0.39

Ending balance		6,936,577		$	0.26

Exercisable		5,517,032		$	0.24

The intrinsic values of the issued Class D units and exercisable Class D units at September 30, 2012 were each $0.6 million.

The Plan will terminate in December 2015.

7.	Long-term Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following:


	September 30,		December 31,
	2012		2011
Senior secured second lien notes payable (due in 2015 with semi-annual interest payments at 10.5%)	$	240,000	$	240,000

Long term debt	$	240,000	$	240,000

ABL Facility

In December 2009, in connection with the issuance of the senior secured second lien notes, Norcraft entered into a senior secured first-lien asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) pursuant to a credit agreement dated as of December 9, 2009 (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) by and among Norcraft, as borrower, Norcraft Intermediate Holdings, L.P. and other guarantors party thereto, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and UBS Securities LLC, as arranger, bookmanager, documentation agent and syndication agent, and UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as issuing bank, administrative agent and collateral agent and UBS Loan Finance LLC, as swingline lender. The ABL Facility provides for aggregate commitments of up to $25.0 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility and a swingline loan sub-facility, subject to a borrowing base, and has a maturity date of December 9, 2013. As of September 30, 2012, the borrowing base was approximately $20.1 million.

In May 2011, the ABL Credit Agreement was modified and now has a maturity of September 2015.

The ABL Credit Agreement contains negative covenants that restrict or limit the ability of Norcraft Intermediate Holdings, L.P., which is the immediate parent of Norcraft, and its subsidiaries from, among other things, (a) selling assets, (b) altering the business that Norcraft currently conducts, (c) engaging in mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations, (d) declaring dividends or redeeming or repurchasing the Company’s equity interests, (e) incurring additional debt or guarantees, (f) making loans and investments, (g) incurring liens, (h) entering into transactions with affiliates, (i) engaging in sale and leaseback transactions and (j) prepaying the senior secured second lien notes, the senior discount notes and any subordinated debt. As of September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with these provisions.

Indebtedness under the ABL Facility is guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by Norcraft Intermediate Holdings, L.P.(the immediate parent of Norcraft), Norcraft Finance Corp. (a subsidiary of Norcraft), Norcraft Canada Corporation (a subsidiary of Norcraft) and all of Norcraft’s current and future subsidiaries, subject to exceptions for foreign subsidiaries to the extent of adverse tax consequences, and is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of Norcraft’s and the guarantor’s existing and future property and assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, intellectual property, investment property, other personal property, owned real property, cash and proceeds of the foregoing.

As of September 30, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding, approximately $4.5 million of a letter of credit outstanding and unused commitments of $15.6 million under the ABL Facility.

The Company has no unused letters of credit.

Senior Secured Second Lien Notes

In December 2009, Norcraft and Norcraft Finance Corp., a wholly owned finance subsidiary of Norcraft, issued, on a joint and several basis, $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10¹/₂% senior secured second lien notes (the “senior secured second lien notes”). Interest accrues on the senior secured second lien notes and is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year at a rate of 10¹/₂% per annum, which commenced on June 15, 2010. Proceeds from the issuance of the senior secured second lien notes were used to redeem the 9% senior subordinated notes due 2011 and to make a distribution to Holdings to allow Holdings to repurchase a portion of its 9³/₄% senior discount notes due 2012.

In May 2011, Norcraft and Norcraft Finance Corp. issued, on a joint and several basis, an additional $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of these senior secured second lien notes at a 1.04 premium, for total gross proceeds of $62.4 million. Proceeds from this issuance of the senior secured second lien notes were used to make a distribution to Holdings to allow Holdings to retire the remainder of its 9³/₄% senior discount notes due 2012 and to pay related transaction and financing costs.

At any time before December 15, 2012, Norcraft may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured second lien notes issued under the indenture with the proceeds of qualified equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 110.5% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest.

Prior to December 15, 2012, Norcraft may redeem the senior secured second lien notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to all of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium plus accrued interest.

Norcraft may redeem the senior secured second lien notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after December 15, 2012, at a redemption price equal to all of the principal amount of the senior secured second lien notes plus a premium declining ratably to par plus accrued interest.

If Norcraft experiences a change of control, Norcraft may be required to offer to purchase the senior secured second lien notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest.

Additionally, the terms of the indenture governing the senior secured second lien notes limit Norcraft’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, make acquisitions, make other investments, pay dividends and make various other payments. The terms also include cross-default provisions. As of September 30, 2012, Norcraft was in compliance with these provisions.

The following represents certain condensed consolidating financial information as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 for Norcraft as co-issuer and for Norcraft Finance Corp. as co-issuer and Norcraft Canada Corporation, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Norcraft, which fully and unconditionally guarantees the senior secured second lien notes.

We anticipate that the funds generated by operations and current available cash balances will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements, make required member tax distributions and to finance capital expenditures over the near term. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that anticipated net sales growth and operating improvements will be realized or that future equity or debt financing will be sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.

8.	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This standard eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Under this new ASU, an entity can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in separate, but consecutive, statements. This guidance is effective for publicly traded companies as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2011 and interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted, but full retrospective application is required. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. Under ASU 2011-08, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-08 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. ASU 2011-12 defers changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. ASU 2011-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-12 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July of 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment. It allows companies to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

Uncertainty of Forward Looking Statements and Information

This report contains “forward looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward looking statements. Forward looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of our company. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events.

These forward looking statements are based on our expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting us. They are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward looking statements are reasonable, we do not know whether our expectations will prove correct. Such expectations can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties.

Because of these factors, we caution that investors should not place undue reliance on any of our forward looking statements. Further, any forward looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.

Overview

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Additionally, the following discussion should be read together with the Selected Financial Data and our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All of our operations are conducted through Norcraft Companies, L.P. (“Norcraft”) and its subsidiaries. Norcraft is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Norcraft Holdings, L.P. (“Holdings”). The words “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Norcraft and its subsidiaries.

We are a leader in manufacturing, assembling and finishing kitchen and bathroom cabinetry in the U.S. and parts of Canada. We provide our customers with a single source for a broad range of high-quality cabinetry, including stock, semi-custom and custom cabinets manufactured in both framed and frameless, or full access construction. We market our products through six main brands: Mid Continent Cabinetry^®, Norcraft Cabinetry^®, UltraCraft^®, StarMark Cabinetry^®, Fieldstone Cabinetry^® and Brookwood^®. With the exception of Norcraft Cabinetry, each of these brands represents a distinct line of cabinetry and has been in operation for over 25 years, with Mid Continent, our original brand, having been established in 1966. In 2008, our Winnipeg, Canada facility completed the transition to the production of cabinets for sale into the Canadian market under the Norcraft Canada brand. We believe each brand is well recognized and highly respected throughout the industry for its attractive style, flexibility, quality and value.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we experienced sales growth. This sales growth varied significantly from division to division within the Company, depending on exposure to certain customers, channels and geographies. However, conditions within our industry continue to be extremely competitive, and margins were negatively impacted. We expect these challenging market conditions to persist through 2012 and into 2013.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

Net Sales. Net sales increased by $6.2 million, or 9.1%, from $67.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $73.9 million for the same period of 2012. The increase in sales was attributable to increases in sales in all of our divisions, with Mid Continent making up over half, UltraCraft making up over a quarter and StarMark and the Winnipeg, Canada facility making up the remainder. The overall increase in sales was generally driven by industry growth. Additionally, we believe we continue to increase the Company’s market share. Net sales to our largest customer were lower during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $6.6 million, or 13.4%, from $48.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $55.4 million for same period of 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased sales volume along with aggressive sales incentives for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased from 72.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 75.0% for the same period of 2012.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased by $0.4 million, or 2.1%, from $18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $18.5 million for the same period of 2012. The decrease in gross profit was due to the increased cost of sales described above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from 27.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 25.0% for the same period of 2012. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily a result of discounting and other sales promotions done in response to the extremely competitive conditions in our industry.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.5 million, or 12.5%, from $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $13.8 million for the same period of 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses were greater than the prior-year period because of increased sales and marketing expense to generate new customers, market our new products and support our increased sales volume. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from 18.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 18.7% for the same period of 2012.

Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased by $1.9 million, or 29.4%, from $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $4.7 million for the same period of 2012. The decrease in income from operations was a result of the factors described above. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales decreased from 9.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 6.3% for the same period of 2012.

Interest, Amortization of Deferred Financing Fees and Other Expenses. Interest, amortization of deferred financing fees and other expenses were flat at $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012. Interest, amortization of deferred financing fees and other expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased from 10.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 9.8% for the same period of 2012.

Net Loss. Net loss increased by $1.9 million from $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2.6 million for the same period of 2012, for the reasons described above. Net loss as a percentage of net sales increased from (1.1%) for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to (3.5%) for the same period of 2012.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Net Sales. Net sales increased by $10.7 million, or 5.1%, from $206.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $217.6 million for the same period of 2012. The increase in sales was attributable to increases in sales in Mid Continent making up just over half, UltraCraft making up nearly half and the Winnipeg, Canada facility making a small increase which was offset by a decrease in StarMark. The overall increase in sales was generally driven by industry growth. Additionally, we believe we continue to increase the Company’s market share. Net sales to our largest customer were lower during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $10.5 million, or 7.0%, from $150.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $160.7 million for same period of 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased sales volume along with aggressive sales incentives for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased from 72.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to 73.9% for the same period of 2012.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $0.2 million, or 0.3%, from $56.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $56.9 million for the same period of 2012. The increase in gross profit was due to the increase in net sales described above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from 27.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to 26.1% for the same period of 2012. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily a result of discounting and other sales promotions done in response to the extremely competitive conditions in our industry.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.6 million, or 6.8%, from $38.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $40.7 million for the same period of 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses were greater than the prior-year period because of increased sales and marketing expense to generate new customers, market our new products and support our increased sales volume. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from 18.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to 18.7% for the same period of 2012.

Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased by $2.4 million, or 13.1%, from $18.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $16.2 million for the same period of 2012.

Interest, Amortization of Deferred Financing Fees and Other Expenses. Interest, amortization of deferred financing fees and other expenses increased by $2.9 million, or 15.4%, from $18.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $21.8 million for the same period of 2012. Interest expense increased $2.3 million and amortization of deferred financing costs increased $0.6 million mainly due to new debt financing. Interest, amortization of deferred financing fees and other expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from 9.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to 10.0% for the same period of 2012.

Net Loss. Net loss increased by $5.3 million from $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $5.6 million for the same period of 2012, for the reasons described above. Net loss as a percentage of net sales increased from (0.1%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to (2.6%) for the same period of 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Our primary cash needs are working capital, capital expenditures, display cabinets, member’s tax distributions and debt service. We finance these cash requirements through internally-generated cash flow and, if necessary, funds borrowed under credit facilities.

Cash provided by operating activities was $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with $10.5 million for the same period of 2011, a decrease in cash provided of $0.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in net loss of $5.3 million as discussed above offset by a change in operating liabilities of $3.3 million, a change in operating assets of $1.2 million and a change in amortization of $0.8 million.

Cash used in investing activities was $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with $5.4 million for the same period of 2011, an increase in cash used of $0.4 million. Capital expenditures were $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with $1.7 million for the same period of 2011, an increase of $0.7 million. Additions to display cabinets were $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with $3.7 million for the same period of 2011, a decrease of $0.3 million.

Cash used in financing activities was minimal for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with $3.7 million in the same period of 2011, a decrease in cash used of $3.7 million. This decrease was mainly due to $58.0 million of distributions to members and payment in financing costs of $8.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This was all offset by $62.4 million ($60.0 million aggregate principal amount at 1.04 premium) in additional borrowings of senior secured second lien notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

We and our subsidiaries have from time to time repurchased certain of our debt obligations and may in the future, as part of various financing and investment strategies we may elect to pursue, purchase additional outstanding indebtedness of ours or our subsidiaries, in tender offers, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. We may also sell certain assets or properties and use the proceeds to reduce our indebtedness or the indebtedness of our subsidiaries. These purchases or sales, if any, could have a material positive or negative impact on our liquidity available to repay outstanding debt obligations or on our consolidated results of operations. These transactions could also require or result in amendments to the agreements governing outstanding debt obligations or changes in our leverage or other financial ratios, which could have a material positive or negative impact on our ability to comply with the covenants contained in our debt agreements. These transactions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Debt Structure

ABL Facility. In December 2009, in connection with issuance of the senior secured second lien notes, Norcraft entered into a senior secured first-lien asset-based revolving credit facility, or the ABL facility, pursuant to a credit agreement dated as of December 9, 2009, or the ABL credit agreement, by and among Norcraft, as borrower, Norcraft Intermediate Holdings, L.P. and other guarantors party thereto, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and UBS Securities LLC, as arranger, bookmanager, documentation agent and syndication agent, and UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as issuing bank, administrative agent and collateral agent and UBS Loan Finance LLC, as swingline lender. The ABL facility provides for aggregate commitments of up to $25.0 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility and a swingline loan sub-facility, subject to a borrowing base, and has a maturity date of December 9, 2013. As of September 30, 2012, the borrowing base was approximately $20.1 million.

In May, 2011, the ABL credit agreement was modified and now has a maturity of September 2015.

The ABL credit agreement contains negative covenants that restrict or limit the ability of Norcraft Intermediate Holdings, L.P. and its subsidiaries from, among other things, (a) selling assets, (b) altering the business that Norcraft currently conducts, (c) engaging in mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations, (d) declaring dividends or redeeming or repurchasing our equity interests, (e) incurring additional debt or guarantees, (f) making loans and investments, (g) incurring liens, (h) entering into transactions with affiliates, (i) engaging in sale and leaseback transactions and (j) prepaying the senior secured second lien notes, the senior discount notes and any subordinated debt. As of September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with these provisions.

Indebtedness under the ABL facility is guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by Norcraft Intermediate Holdings, L.P., Norcraft Finance Corp., Norcraft Canada Corporation and all of Norcraft’s current and future subsidiaries, subject to exceptions for foreign subsidiaries to the extent of adverse tax consequences, and is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of Norcraft’s and the guarantor’s existing and future property and assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, intellectual property, investment property, other personal property, owned real property, cash and proceeds of the foregoing.

As of September 30, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding, approximately $4.5 million in a letter of credit outstanding and unused commitments of $15.6 million under the ABL facility.

The Company has no unused letters of credit.

Senior Secured Second Lien Notes. In December 2009, Norcraft and Norcraft Finance Corp., a wholly owned finance subsidiary of Norcraft, issued, on a joint and several basis, $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10¹/₂% senior secured second lien notes (the “senior secured second lien notes”). Interest accrues on the senior secured second lien notes and is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year at a rate of 10¹/₂% per annum, which commenced on June 15, 2010. Proceeds from the issuance of the senior secured second lien notes were used to redeem the 9% senior subordinated notes due 2011 and to make a distribution to Norcraft Holdings, L.P. which allowed Holdings to repurchase a portion of its 9³/₄% senior discount notes due 2012.

Off balance sheet arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Taxes; Distributions to our Limited Partners

Norcraft Holdings, L.P, our parent company, and Norcraft Companies, L.P. (“Norcraft”) are limited partnerships. As such, income is allocated to limited partners for inclusion in their respective tax returns. Accordingly, no liability or provision for federal income taxes and deferred income taxes attributable to our operations are included in our financial statements. We are subject to various state and local taxes.

The indenture governing our senior secured second lien notes significantly restricts Norcraft and its subsidiaries from paying dividends and otherwise transferring assets to Holdings. Norcraft expects to make regular distributions to Holdings, subject to certain limitations, to permit Holdings to make further distributions to its equity holders to pay taxes on our net income allocated to them. There was a $10,000 tax distribution during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Inflation; Seasonality

Our cost of sales is subject to inflationary pressures and price fluctuations of the raw materials we use. We have generally been able over time to recover the effects of inflation and price fluctuations through sales price increases.

Our sales have historically been moderately seasonal and have been strongest in April through October which coincides with construction seasonality.

Critical Accounting Polices

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, we identified the critical accounting policies which affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. The basis for developing the estimates and assumptions within our critical accounting policies is based on historical information and known current trends and factors. The estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis and actual results have been within the Company’s expectations. We have not changed these policies from those previously disclosed in our annual report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk

We currently do not hedge against interest rate movements or foreign currency fluctuations. The risk inherent in our market-sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes to interest rates as discussed below.

Variable Interest Rates

Our earnings could be affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes would have on interest expense from variable rate debt instruments and on interest income generated from our cash and investment balances. At September 30, 2012, the Company had no borrowings on our variable rate ABL facility; however future earnings could be affected by changes in interest rates.

Foreign Currency

We have minimal exposure to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates that could affect our results of operations and financial condition. Our largest exposure comes from the Canadian dollar, where approximately 8% of our sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were derived from Norcraft Canada and our revenues from such sales were denominated in Canadian dollars.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2012.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2012 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

During the ordinary course of business, we have become and may in the future become subject to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings. All of the current legal actions and proceedings that we are a party to are of an ordinary or routine nature incidental to our operations, the resolution of which should not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We are not currently a party to any product liability claims. The majority of the pending legal proceedings involve claims for workers compensation. These claims are generally covered by insurance, but there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover any such liability.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The materialization of any risks and uncertainties identified in Part I, Item 2, “Uncertainty of Forward Looking Statements and Information” contained in this report together with those previously disclosed in the Form 10-K or those that are presently unforeseen could result in material adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
