BUSINESS

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

Description of the Company

We are the leading U.S. manufacturer and supplier of residential impact-resistant windows and doors and pioneered the U.S. impact-resistant window and door industry. Our impact-resistant products, which are marketed under the WinGuard^®, PremierVue ™ and PGT Architectural Systems brand names, combine heavy-duty aluminum or vinyl frames with laminated glass to provide protection from hurricane-force winds and wind-borne debris by maintaining their structural integrity and preventing penetration by impacting objects. Impact-resistant windows and doors satisfy stringent building codes in hurricane-prone coastal states and provide an attractive alternative to shutters and other “active” forms of hurricane protection that require installation and removal before and after each storm. Combining the impact resistance of WinGuard, PremierVue ™ and PGT Architectural Systems with our insulating glass creates energy efficient windows that can significantly reduce cooling and heating costs. We also manufacture non-impact resistant products in both aluminum and vinyl frames including our SpectraGuard ™ line of products. Our current market share in Florida, which is the largest U.S. impact-resistant window and door market, is significantly greater than that of any of our competitors.

The geographic regions in which we currently operate include the Southeastern U.S., Gulf Coast, Coastal mid-Atlantic, the Caribbean, Central America, and Canada. We distribute our products through multiple channels, including approximately 1,200 window distributors, building supply distributors, window replacement dealers and enclosure contractors. This broad distribution network provides us with the flexibility to meet demand as it shifts between the residential new construction and repair and remodeling end markets.

Our manufacturing facility in North Venice, Florida, produces fully-customized windows and doors. We are vertically integrated with glass, insulating, tempering and laminating facilities, which provide us with a consistent source of impact-resistant laminated and insulating glass, shorter lead times, and lower costs relative to third-party sourcing.

On December 3, 2010, we announced that our former Salisbury, North Carolina operations would be transferred to Venice, Florida to consolidate our window and door production at our Florida manufacturing facilities. This consolidation was completed during the second quarter of 2011. We believe transitioning to a centralized location has optimized our manufacturing capacity and logistics, positioning us to be a stronger company and focus on growing our share within our core wind-borne debris market area. In October 2012, we accepted an offer to sell our former Salisbury, North Carolina facility and on January 23, 2013, the sale closed for approximately $8.0 million in cash (approximately $7.5 million net of selling costs).

History

Our subsidiary, PGT Industries, Inc., a Florida Corporation, was founded in 1980 as Vinyl Tech, Inc. The PGT brand was established in 1987, and we introduced our WinGuard branded product line in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

PGT, Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on December 16, 2003, as JLL Window Holdings, Inc. by an affiliate of JLL Partners, our largest stockholder, in connection with its acquisition of PGT Holding Company on January 29, 2004. On February 15, 2006, we changed our name to PGT, Inc., and on June 27, 2006, we became a publicly listed company on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “PGTI”.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

We operate as one segment, the manufacture and sale of windows and doors. Additional required information is included in Item 8.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Our Products

We manufacture complete lines of premium, fully customizable aluminum and vinyl windows and doors and porch enclosure products targeting both the residential new construction and repair and remodeling end markets. All of our products carry the PGT brand, and our consumer-oriented products carry an additional, trademarked product name, including WinGuard, Eze-Breeze, SpectraGuard, and PremierVue.

Window and door products

WinGuard. WinGuard is an impact-resistant product line and combines heavy-duty aluminum or vinyl frames with laminated glass to provide protection from hurricane-force winds and wind-borne debris that satisfy increasingly stringent building codes and primarily target hurricane-prone coastal states in the U.S., as well as the Caribbean and Central America. Combining the impact resistance of WinGuard with our insulating glass creates energy efficient windows that can significantly reduce cooling and heating costs.

PremierVue. PremierVue is a complete line of impact-resistant vinyl window and door products that are tailored for the mid- to high-end of the replacement market, primarily targeting single and multi-family homes and low to mid-rise condominiums in Florida and other coastal regions of the Southeastern U.S. Combining structural strength and energy efficiency, these products are designed for flexibility in today’s market, offering both laminated and laminated-insulated impact-resistant glass options which are Energy Star rated. PremierVue’s large test sizes and high design pressures, combined with vinyl’s inherent thermal efficiency, make these products truly unique in the window and door industry.

Aluminum. We offer a complete line of fully customizable, non-impact-resistant aluminum frame windows and doors. These products primarily target regions with warmer climates, where aluminum is often preferred due to its ability to withstand higher structural loads. Adding our insulating glass creates energy efficient windows that can significantly reduce cooling and heating costs.

Vinyl. We offer a complete line of fully customizable, non-impact-resistant vinyl frame windows and doors where the energy-efficient characteristics of vinyl frames are critical. It includes a line of energy efficient vinyl windows for new construction with wood-like aesthetics, such as brick-mould frames, wood-like trim detail and simulated divided lights. Also part of this line is vinyl replacement windows with the same superior energy performance and wood-like detail and branded the product lines as SpectraGuard. All of our vinyl product lines possess options to meet the needs of the Florida market and are Energy Star rated.

Architectural Systems. Similar to WinGuard, Architectural Systems products are impact-resistant, offering protection from hurricane-force winds and wind-borne debris for mid- and high-rise buildings rather than single family homes.

Eze-Breeze. Eze-Breeze non-glass vertical and horizontal sliding panels for porch enclosures are vinyl-glazed, aluminum-framed products used for enclosing screened-in porches that provide protection from inclement weather. This line was completed with the addition of a cabana door.

PGT Commercial Storefront System. PGT’s Commercial Storefront window system and entry doors, launched in 2013, are engineered to provide a flexible yet economical solution for a variety of applications. Our system provides easy fabrication and assembly, while also reducing installation time and challenges.

Sales and Marketing

Our sales strategy primarily focuses on attracting and retaining distributors and dealers by consistently providing exceptional customer service, leading product designs and quality, and competitive pricing all using our advanced knowledge of building code requirements and technical expertise.

Our marketing strategy is designed to reinforce the high quality of our products and focuses on both coastal and inland markets. We support our markets through print and web-based advertising, consumer, dealer, and builder promotions, and selling and collateral materials. We also work with our dealers and distributors to educate architects, building officials, consumers and homebuilders on the advantages of using impact-resistant and energy efficient products. We market our products based on quality, building code compliance, outstanding service, shorter lead times, and on-time delivery using our fleet of trucks and trailers.

Our Customers

We have a highly diversified customer base that is comprised of approximately 1,200 window distributors, building supply distributors, window replacement dealers and enclosure contractors. Our largest customer accounts for approximately 2.7% of net sales and our top ten customers account for approximately 17.8% of net sales. Our sales are comprised of residential new construction and home repair and remodeling end markets, which represented approximately 28% and 72% of our sales, respectively, during 2012. This compares to 24% and 76% in 2011.

We do not supply our products directly to homebuilders, but believe demand for our products is also a function of our relationships with a number of national homebuilders, which we believe are strong.

Materials and Supplier Relationships

Our primary manufacturing materials include aluminum and vinyl extrusions, glass, ionoplast, and polyvinyl butyral. Although in many instances we have agreements with our suppliers, these agreements are generally terminable by either party on limited notice. All of our materials are typically readily available from other sources. Aluminum and vinyl extrusions accounted for approximately 36% of our material purchases during fiscal year 2012. Sheet glass, which is sourced from two major national suppliers, accounted for approximately 17% of our material purchases during fiscal year 2012. Sheet glass that we purchase comes in various sizes, tints, and thermal properties. Polyvinyl butyral and ionoplast, which are both used as inner layer in laminated glass, accounted for approximately 16% of our material purchases during fiscal year 2012.

Backlog

As of December 29, 2012, our backlog was $10.6 million compared to $7.8 million at December 31, 2011. Our backlog consists of orders that we have received from customers that have not yet shipped, and we expect that substantially all of our current backlog will be recognized as sales in the first quarter of 2013, due in part to our lead times which range from one to three weeks.

Intellectual Property

We own and have registered trademarks in the United States. In addition, we own several patents and patent applications concerning various aspects of window assembly and related processes. We are not aware of any circumstances that would have a material adverse effect on our ability to use our trademarks and patents. As long as we continue to renew our trademarks when necessary, the trademark protection provided by them is perpetual.

Manufacturing

Our manufacturing facility is located in Florida where we produce fully-customized products. The manufacturing process typically begins in our glass plant where we cut, temper, laminate, and insulate sheet glass to meet specific requirements of our customers’ orders.

Glass is transported to our window and door assembly lines in a make-to-order sequence where it is combined with an aluminum or vinyl frame. These frames are also fabricated to order. We start with a piece of extruded material which is cut and shaped into a frame that fits the customers’ specifications. Once complete, product is immediately staged for delivery and generally shipped on our trucking fleet within 48 hours of completion.

Competition

The window and door industry is highly fragmented, and the competitive landscape is based on geographic scope. The competition falls into one of two categories.

Local and Regional Window and Door Manufacturers: This group of competitors consists of numerous local job shops and small manufacturing facilities that tend to focus on selling products to local or regional dealers and wholesalers. Competitors in this group typically lack marketing support and the service levels and quality controls demanded by larger distributors, as well as the ability to offer a full complement of products.

- 5 -

National Window and Door Manufacturers: This group of competitors tends to focus on selling branded products nationally to dealers and wholesalers and has multiple locations.

The principal methods of competition in the window and door industry are the development of long-term relationships with window and door dealers and distributors, and the retention of customers by delivering a full range of high-quality products on time while offering competitive pricing and flexibility in transaction processing. Trade professionals such as contractors, homebuilders, architects and engineers also engage in direct interaction and look to the manufacturer for training and education of product and code. Although some of our competitors may have greater geographic scope and access to greater resources and economies of scale than do we, our leading position in the U.S. impact-resistant window and door market and the award winning designs and high quality of our products position us well to meet the needs of our customers.

Environmental Considerations

Although our business and facilities are subject to federal, state, and local environmental regulation, environmental regulation does not have a material impact on our operations, and we believe that our facilities are in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

Employees

As of February 18, 2013, we employed approximately 1,040 people, none of whom were represented by a union. We believe we have good relations with our employees.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

Our domestic and international net sales for each of the three years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, are as follows (in millions):

Item 1A.

RISK FACTORS

We are subject to regional and national economic conditions. The economy in Florida and throughout the United States could negatively impact demand for our products as it has in the past, and macroeconomic forces such as employment rates and the availability of credit could have an adverse effect on our sales and results of operations.

New home construction, while improving, remains below average, and repair and remodeling markets are still flat. The window and door industry is subject to the cyclical market pressures of the larger new construction and repair and remodeling markets. In turn, these changes may be affected by adverse changes in economic conditions such as demographic trends, employment levels, and consumer confidence. Such market pressures negatively impacted operations during the past several years, and we continue to face a challenging operating environment due to economic uncertainty in Florida and throughout the United States. New single family housing permits in Florida showed improvement, however, the actual number of permits remains at a historically low level, and future growth in this market will be dependent on builders’ ability to attract and retain qualified labor. The repair and remodeling market remained flat for 2012, as consumer confidence was still low.

- 6 -

Economic and credit market conditions impact our ability to collect receivables. Economic and credit conditions negatively impacted our bad debt expense in the years 2007-2011, which adversely impacted our results of operations. If these conditions return, our results of operations may again be adversely impacted by bad debts.

We are subject to fluctuations in the prices of our raw materials. We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of our raw materials, including aluminum extrusion, polyvinyl butyral and glass. A variety of factors over which we have no control, including global demand for aluminum, fluctuations in oil prices, speculation in commodities futures and the creation of new laminates or other products based on new technologies impact the cost of raw materials which we purchase for the manufacture of our products. While we attempt to minimize our risk from severe price fluctuations by entering into aluminum forward contracts to hedge these fluctuations in the purchase price of aluminum extrusion we use in production, substantial, prolonged upward trends in aluminum prices could significantly increase the cost of the unhedged portions of our aluminum needs and have an adverse impact on our results of operations. We anticipate that these fluctuations will continue in the future. While we have entered into a one-year supply agreement through December 2013 with a major producer of ionoplast inter layer that we believe provides us with a reliable, single source for ionoplast with stable pricing on favorable terms, if one or both parties to the agreement do not satisfy the terms of the agreement it may be terminated which could result in our inability to obtain ionoplast on commercially reasonable terms having an adverse impact on our results of operations. While historically we have to some extent been able to pass on significant cost increases to our customers, our results between periods may be negatively impacted by a delay between the cost increases and price increases in our products.

We depend on third-party suppliers for our raw materials. Our ability to offer a wide variety of products to our customers depends on receipt of adequate material supplies from manufacturers and other suppliers. Generally, our raw materials and supplies are obtainable from various sources and in sufficient quantities. However, it is possible that our competitors or other suppliers may create laminates or products based on new technologies that are not available to us or are more effective than our products at surviving hurricane-force winds and wind-borne debris or that they may have access to products of a similar quality at lower prices. Although in many instances we have agreements with our suppliers, these agreements are generally terminable by either party on limited notice. Moreover, other than with our suppliers of polyvinyl butyral and aluminum, we do not have long-term contracts with the suppliers of our raw materials.

Transportation costs represent a significant part of our cost structure. Fuel prices increased in 2010, and such increase adversely impacted our results of operations. A rapid and prolonged increase in fuel prices may significantly increase our costs and have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

The home building industry and the home repair and remodeling sector are regulated. The homebuilding industry and the home repair and remodeling sector are subject to various local, state, and federal statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations concerning zoning, building design and safety, construction, and similar matters, including regulations that impose restrictive zoning and density requirements in order to limit the number of homes that can be built within the boundaries of a particular area. Increased regulatory restrictions could limit demand for new homes and home repair and remodeling products and could negatively affect our sales and results of operations.

Our operating results are substantially dependent on sales of our WinGuard branded line of products. A majority of our net sales are, and are expected to continue to be, derived from the sales of our WinGuard branded line of products. Accordingly, our future operating results will depend on the demand for WinGuard products by current and future customers, including additions to this product line that are subsequently introduced. If our competitors release new products that are superior to WinGuard products in performance or price, or if we fail to update WinGuard products with any technological advances that are developed by us or our competitors or introduce new products in a timely manner, demand for our products may decline. A decline in demand for WinGuard products as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate sales, which would negatively affect results of operations.

Changes in building codes could lower the demand for our impact-resistant windows and doors. The market for our impact-resistant windows and doors depends in large part on our ability to satisfy state and local building codes that require protection from wind-borne debris. If the standards in such building codes are raised, we may not be able to meet their requirements, and demand for our products could decline. Conversely, if the standards in such building codes are lowered or are not enforced in certain areas, demand for our impact-resistant products may decrease. Further, if states and regions that are affected by hurricanes but do not currently have such building codes fail to adopt and enforce hurricane protection building codes; our ability to expand our business in such markets may be limited.

- 7 -

Our industry is competitive, and competition may increase as our markets grow or as more states adopt or enforce building codes that require impact-resistant products. The window and door industry is highly competitive. We face significant competition from numerous small, regional producers, as well as certain national producers. Any of these competitors may (i) foresee the course of market development more accurately than do we, (ii) develop products that are superior to our products, (iii) have the ability to produce similar products at a lower cost, or (iv) adapt more quickly to new technologies or evolving customer requirements than do we. Additionally, new competitors may enter our industry, and larger existing competitors may increase their efforts and devote substantially more resources to expand their presence in the impact-resistant market. If we are unable to compete effectively, demand for our products may decline. In addition, while we are skilled at creating finished impact-resistant and other window and door products, the materials we use can be purchased by any existing or potential competitor. New competitors can enter our industry, and existing competitors may increase their efforts in the impact-resistant market. Furthermore, if the market for impact-resistant windows and doors continues to expand, larger competitors could enter or expand their presence in the market and may be able to compete more effectively. Finally, we may not be able to maintain our costs at a level for us to compete effectively. If we are unable to compete effectively, demand for our products and our profitability may decline.

Our business is currently concentrated in one state. Our business is concentrated geographically in Florida. In fiscal year 2012, approximately 85% of our sales were generated in Florida, a state in which new single family housing permits remain at historically low levels. Focusing operations into a single manufacturing location optimizes manufacturing efficiencies and logistics, and we believe that a focused approach to growing our share within our core wind-borne debris markets in Florida, from the Gulf Coast to the mid-Atlantic, and certain international markets, will maximize value and return. However, such a focus further concentrates our business, and a continued or prolonged decline in the economy of the state of Florida or of certain coastal regions, a change in state and local building code requirements for hurricane protection, or any other adverse condition in the state or certain coastal regions, could cause a decline in the demand for our products, which could have an adverse impact on our sales and results of operations.

We may incur additional indebtedness. We may incur additional indebtedness under our credit facilities, which provide for up to $15 million of revolving credit borrowings. In addition, we and our subsidiary may incur additional indebtedness in the future. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, certain risks which we currently do not consider significant could intensify.

Our debt instruments contain various covenants that limit our ability to operate our business. Our credit facility contains various provisions that limit our ability to, among other things, transfer or sell assets, including the equity interests of our subsidiary, or use asset sale proceeds; pay dividends or distributions on our capital stock, make certain restricted payments or investments; create liens to secure debt; enter into transactions with affiliates; merge or consolidate with another company; and engage in unrelated business activities.

In addition, our credit facilities require us to meet specified financial ratios. These covenants may restrict our ability to expand or fully pursue our business strategies. Our ability to comply with these and other provisions of our credit facilities may be affected by changes in our operating and financial performance, changes in general business and economic conditions, adverse regulatory developments, or other events beyond our control. The breach of any of these covenants, including those contained in our credit facilities, could result in a default under our indebtedness, which could cause those and other obligations to become due and payable. If any of our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not be able to repay it.

We may be adversely affected by any disruption in our information technology systems. Our operations are dependent upon our information technology systems, which encompass all of our major business functions. A disruption in our information technology systems for any prolonged period could result in delays in receiving inventory and supplies or filling customer orders and adversely affect our customer service and relationships.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, we started the implementation of our new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) System. In order to maintain our leadership position in the market and efficiently process increased business volume, we are making a significant upgrade to our computer hardware, software and our ERP System. Should the ERP System upgrade be unsuccessful or take longer to implement than anticipated, our ability to maintain and grow the business could be hindered, and our operations and financial results could be adversely impacted.

We may be adversely affected by any disruptions to our manufacturing facilities or disruptions to our customer, supplier, or employee base. Any disruption to our facilities resulting from hurricanes and other weather-related events, fire, an act of terrorism, or any other cause could damage a significant portion of our inventory, affect our distribution of products, and materially impair our ability to distribute our products to customers. We could incur significantly higher costs and longer lead times associated with distributing our products to our customers during the time that it takes for us

- 8 -

to reopen or replace a damaged facility. In addition, if there are disruptions to our customer and supplier base or to our employees caused by hurricanes, our business could be temporarily adversely affected by higher costs for materials, increased shipping and storage costs, increased labor costs, increased absentee rates, and scheduling issues. Furthermore, some of our direct and indirect suppliers have unionized work forces, and strikes, work stoppages, or slowdowns experienced by these suppliers could result in slowdowns or closures of their facilities. Any interruption in the production or delivery of our supplies could reduce sales of our products and increase our costs.

The nature of our business exposes us to product liability and warranty claims. We are, from time to time, involved in product liability and product warranty claims relating to the products we manufacture and distribute that, if adversely determined, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. In addition, we may be exposed to potential claims arising from the conduct of homebuilders and home remodelers and their sub-contractors. Although we currently maintain what we believe to be suitable and adequate insurance in excess of our self-insured amounts, we may not be able to maintain such insurance on acceptable terms or such insurance may not provide adequate protection against potential liabilities. Product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods, regardless of the ultimate outcome. Claims of this nature could also have a negative impact on customer confidence in our products and our company.

We are subject to potential exposure to environmental liabilities and are subject to environmental regulation. We are subject to various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations. Although we believe that our facilities are in material compliance with such laws, ordinances, and regulations, as owners and lessees of real property, we can be held liable for the investigation or remediation of contamination on such properties, in some circumstances, without regard to whether we knew of or were responsible for such contamination. Remediation may be required in the future as a result of spills or releases of petroleum products or hazardous substances, the discovery of unknown environmental conditions, or more stringent standards regarding existing residual contamination. More burdensome environmental regulatory requirements may increase our general and administrative costs and may increase the risk that we may incur fines or penalties or be held liable for violations of such regulatory requirements.

We conduct all of our operations through our subsidiary, and rely on payments from our subsidiary to meet all of our obligations. We are a holding company and derive all of our operating income from our subsidiary, PGT Industries, Inc. All of our assets are held by our subsidiary, and we rely on the earnings and cash flows of our subsidiary to meet our debt service obligations. The ability of our subsidiary to make payments to us will depend on its respective operating results and may be restricted by, among other things, the laws of its jurisdiction of organization (which may limit the amount of funds available for distributions to us), the terms of existing and future indebtedness and other agreements of our subsidiary, including our credit facilities, and the covenants of any future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiary incur.

We are exposed to risks relating to evaluations of controls required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While we have concluded that at December 29, 2012, we have no material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, we cannot assure you that we will not have a material weakness in the future. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If we fail to maintain a system of internal controls over financial reporting that meets the requirements of Section 404, we might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities such as the SEC or by the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. Additionally, failure to comply with Section 404 or the report by us of a material weakness may cause investors to lose confidence in our financial statements and our stock price may be adversely affected. If we fail to remedy any material weakness, our financial statements may be inaccurate, we may not have access to the capital markets, and our stock price may be adversely affected.

The controlling position of an affiliate of JLL Partners limits the ability of our minority stockholders to influence corporate matters. An affiliate of JLL Partners owned 60.8% of our outstanding common stock as of December 29, 2012. Accordingly, such affiliate of JLL Partners has significant influence over our management and affairs and over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a transaction such as a merger, consolidation, or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control, even if such a transaction or change of control would benefit minority stockholders. In addition, this concentrated control limits the ability of our minority stockholders to influence corporate matters, and such affiliate of JLL Partners, as a controlling stockholder, could approve certain actions, including a going-private transaction, without approval of minority stockholders, subject to obtaining any required approval of our board of directors for such transaction. As a result, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected.

The controlling position of an affiliate of JLL Partners exempts us from certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. Although we have satisfied all applicable Nasdaq corporate governance rules, for so long as an affiliate of JLL Partners continues to own more than 50% of our outstanding shares, we will continue to avail ourselves of the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(c) “controlled company” exemption that applies to companies in which more than 50% of the stockholder voting power is held by an individual, a group, or another company. This rule grants us an exemption from the requirements that we have a majority of independent directors on our board of directors and that we have independent directors determine the compensation of executive officers and the selection of nominees to the board of directors. However, we intend to comply with such requirements in the event that such affiliate of JLL Partners’ ownership falls to or below 50%.

Our directors and officers who are affiliated with JLL Partners do not have any obligation to report corporate opportunities to us. Because some individuals may serve as our directors or officers and as directors, officers, partners, members, managers, or employees of JLL Partners or its affiliates or investment funds and because such affiliates or investment funds may engage in similar lines of business to those in which we engage, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation allocates corporate opportunities between us and JLL Partners and its affiliates and investment funds. Specifically, for so long as JLL Partners and its affiliates and investment funds own at least 15% of our shares of common stock, none of JLL Partners, nor any of its affiliates or investment funds, or their respective directors, officers, partners, members, managers, or employees has any duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as do we. In addition, if any of them acquires knowledge of a potential transaction that may be a corporate opportunity for us and for JLL Partners or its affiliates or investment funds, subject to certain exceptions, we will not have any expectancy in such corporate opportunity, and they will not have any obligation to communicate such opportunity to us.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Sales and Operations

On February 21, 2013, we issued a press release and held a conference call on February 22, 2013, to review the results of operations for our fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 29, 2012. During the call, we also discussed current market conditions and progress made regarding certain of our initiatives. The overview and estimates contained in this report are consistent with those given in our press release and discussed on the call. We are neither updating nor confirming that information.

During 2012, the national housing market showed improvement and so did our sales. Our sales improved 4.3% to $174.5 million, and we had net income of $9.0 million, an increase of $25.9 million when compared to the 2011 net loss of $16.9 million. The improvement in net income was accomplished by focusing on improving sales and manufacturing efficiencies, which improved gross margin percentage 10.8%. We also redesigned our transportation operations and saved an additional $2.2 million. 2011 was also impacted by $8.1 million in consolidation related charges.

In terms of sales strategies, we emphasized our core markets within Florida, and implemented promotional activities to gain market share. We also established programs and partnerships with national accounts to increase our sales presence. As a result of our efforts and the general market conditions, sales during 2012 increased $7.3 million, or 4.3%, compared to 2011. New construction sales increased $8.7 million, or 21.6%, as a result of improvement in the new construction market. Repair and remodel sales decreased by $1.5 million, or 1.2%. This decrease was anticipated and resulted from our decision to reduce our efforts in certain out of state markets. By region, our sales in Florida increased $7.9 million, or 5.5%, and sales in the international region increased $0.3 million, or 4.1%. These increases were offset by decreases in out of state markets of $1.0 million, or 6.1%.

By product category, sales in our impact lines increased $9.2 million, or 7.6%. This increase was driven by our WinGuard products which increased $12.9 million, or 11.8%, due to the improved housing market and increased promotional activity. New construction, which represents only 28% of our sales, drove an $8.7 million sales increase. Sales in our Architectural System line decreased $2.6 million in part due to the completion of a large condo retrofit project completed in 2011. Sales also decreased in our PremierVue line by $1.3 million, primarily driven by the reduction of low margin sales to a particular customer. Sales of our non-impact products decreased by $2.0 million overall. Sales of our aluminum products decreased $1.3 million, due in part to the shift from aluminum to vinyl in the Florida market and our Vinyl products decreased $1.4 million driven by our decision to reduce our effort in the out of state market where these products were sold. Our EzeBreeze line increased sales by $0.8 million as a result of our increased focus on this line.

Looking at 2013 and beyond, we closed the sale of our Salisbury, NC manufacturing facility for approximately $8.0 million in cash ($7.5 million net of selling costs) which provides additional momentum for 2013. Moody’s forecast for 2013 suggests a 42% increase in new construction, with the repair and remodeling market flat. We will continue to make investments in the repair and remodeling area to gain market share. While we have seen indicators suggesting the industry is ready for steady improvement, the challenging economy and high unemployment in our core market of Florida constantly reminds us that our business continues to be challenged by macroeconomic factors.

Liquidity and Cash Flow

During 2012, we generated $23.2 million in cash flow from operations, which was used to fund working capital needs, service our long term debt, repurchase common stock, and make voluntary debt prepayments. We began 2007 with net debt of $128.5 million and ended fiscal 2012 with net debt of $18.8 million. During those six years, we reduced our debt by combining internally generated cash of $65.4 million with net proceeds from the 2008 and 2010 rights offerings of $44.3 million. The due date for our debt agreement is June 2016. Our current interest rate is 4.75%, with the potential of improvement as leverage decreases.

Acquisition

On December 17, 2010 we exercised our option and acquired the intellectual property assets of Hurricane Window and Door Factory, LLC (“Hurricane”) of Ft. Myers, Florida. With this acquisition, we acquired, among other things, all of the intellectual property underlying our PremierVue line of vinyl impact-resistant windows and doors for the single- and multi-family residential markets. The purchase price was $2.8 million of which $2.6 million was paid at closing, and the remainder was paid during 2011. As of January 1, 2011, $0.2 million was included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet. The carrying value of the intangible assets of $0.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, is included in other intangible assets, net, in the accompanying balance sheets at December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011.

Consolidation and Restructurings

On December 3, 2010, we announced that our Salisbury, North Carolina operations would be transferred to Venice, Florida to consolidate our window and door production at our Florida manufacturing facility. During 2011, we recorded consolidation charges of $4.1 million, which includes $1.3 million of severance expense and $2.8 million of moving expenses. The classification of charges were $3.4 million within cost of goods sold, and the remaining $0.7 million within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The total charges recorded through December 31, 2011, for the consolidation are $6.2 million, $2.1 million having been recorded in December 2010, of which less than $0.1 million and $1.8 million were accrued as of December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively, and are classified in accounts payable and accrued liabilities within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid severance expense as of December 31, 2011, was disbursed prior to the end of 2012.

The following table provides information with respect to the accrual for the severance related to the consolidation:


Consolidation	Beginning of Year		Charged to Expense		Disbursed in Cash			End of Year

Year ended December 29, 2012:	$	15	$	—	$	(15	)	$	—

Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Items Affecting Comparability

Below is a presentation of EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, which we believe is useful information for investors (in thousands):

(a)	Represents charges related to consolidation actions taken in 2011 and 2010. These charges relate primarily to employee separation costs and move related expense.

(b)	In 2011 the amount relates to the write-down of the value of our trade names. The 2010 amount represents assets related to the write-down of the Salisbury, North Carolina facility.

(c)	Represents gains related to the sale of equipment previously used in the North Carolina operations. These gains are included in other income for the year ended December 31, 2011.

- 15 -

(d)

Represents temporary excess labor and scrap expense incurred as a result of the consolidation actions taken in 2011. The amounts were determined by comparing the manufacturing results during consolidation with normalized pre-consolidation results. These expenses are included in cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2011.

(e)	Represents the write off of the remaining unamortized fees associated with our previous financing agreement. These charges are included in other expense for the year ended December 31, 2011.

(2)

EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA is a measure commonly used in the window and door industry, and we present EBITDA to enhance your understanding of our operating performance. We use EBITDA as one criterion for evaluating our performance relative to that of our peers. We believe that EBITDA is an operating performance measure that provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles, and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. While we believe EBITDA is a useful measure for investors, it is not a measurement presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. You should not consider EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operations, or any other items calculated in accordance with GAAP.

2012 Compared with 2011

Net sales

Net sales for 2012 were $174.5 million, a $7.3 million, or 4.3%, increase in sales from $167.3 million in the prior year.

The following table shows net sales classified by major product category (in millions, except percentages):


	Year Ended
	December 29, 2012					December 31, 2011
	Sales		% of sales			Sales		% of sales			% change
Product category:
Impact Window and Door Products	$	130.1		74.5	%	$	120.9		72.3	%		7.6	%
Other Window and Door Products		44.4		25.5	%		46.4		27.7	%		(4.2	%)

Total net sales	$	174.5		100.0	%	$	167.3		100.0	%		4.3	%

Net sales of our impact window and door products, which include our WinGuard, Architectural Systems and PremierVue products were $130.1 million in 2012, an increase of $9.2 million, or 7.6%, from $120.9 million in the prior year. This increase was driven mainly by our WinGuard products, which increased $12.9 million, or 11.8%, due to the improved new construction housing market, and our promotional and marketing activities. Offsetting this increase were decreases in our Architectural System products, down $2.5 million in part due to the completion of a large condo retrofit project completed in 2011, and our PremierVue line, down $1.3 million primarily driven by the reduction of low margin sales to a particular customer. Our impact window and door products, especially in our repair and remodeling market, continue to be impacted by the lack of storm activity during the six most recent hurricane seasons in Florida.

Net sales of other window and door products, which includes aluminum and vinyl non-impact, and Eze-Breeze, were $44.4 million in 2012, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 4.2%, from $46.4 million for the prior year. Sales of our

- 17 -

aluminum products decreased $1.3 million, due in part to the shift from aluminum to vinyl impact in the Florida market and our Vinyl products decreased $1.4 million driven by our decision to reduce our effort in the out of state market where these products were sold. However, our Eze-Breeze line increased sales by $0.8 million due to our increased focus on this line.

Gross margin

Gross margin was $59.7 million in 2012, an increase of $20.6 million, or 52.7%, from $39.1 million in the prior year. The gross margin percentage was 34.2% in 2012 compared to 23.4% in the prior year. Gross margin included charges of $3.4 million in 2011 related to the consolidation of all North Carolina operations into our Florida facilities. Cost of goods sold in 2011 was also negatively impacted by temporary excess labor and scrap expense of $4.0 million as a result of the consolidation actions taken. This amount was determined by comparing the manufacturing results during consolidation with normalized pre-consolidation results. We returned to pre-consolidation levels during the third quarter of 2011. Adjusting for these charges gross margin was 27.8% in 2011. The 6.4% increase in adjusted gross margin as a percent of sales was mainly due to a reduction of excess material and scrap of $4.7 million, or 2.7%, higher sales volume, price increases and improved mix of $4.1 million, or 1.2%, depreciation savings of $1.6 million, or 1.0%, material price savings of $1.2 million, or 0.7%, consolidation savings of $1.1 million, or 0.6%, and savings in labor and other miscellaneous expenses of $0.4 million, or 0.2%.

Impairment charges

We performed our annual assessment of our trade names as of December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, which indicated that no impairment was present for the year ended 2012, and that an impairment was present for year ended 2011, which resulted in a non-cash charge of $6.0 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $47.1 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 3.1%, from $48.6 million in the prior year. Selling, general, and administrative expenses includes charges of $0.3 million in 2011 related to the consolidation actions taken in 2010. Excluding these charges, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.2 million and as a percentage of sales were 28.9% in 2011. This decrease was due mainly to consolidation savings of $2.1 million, reduced bad debt expense of $0.8 million, decreased advertising and selling materials of $0.6 million, decreased distribution costs of $0.5 million, decreased depreciation and lease expense of $0.7 million. Offsetting these decreases was a $3.6 million increase in employee related compensation cost.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $3.4 million in 2012, a decrease of $0.8 million from $4.2 million in the prior year. During 2012, we prepaid $8.0 million of debt resulting in a lower average level of debt when compared to 2011. The interest rate on our debt decreased from 5.75% at the end of 2011 to 4.75% at the end of 2012 due to the refinancing of debt which decreased our interest rates in accordance with our tiered interest rate structure.

Gain on sale of assets

In 2012 and 2011, we sold non-essential assets from our North Carolina operations for a gain of $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Other expenses (income), net

There was other expenses (income), net of $0.2 million and $0.5 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2012, the expense related to the ineffective portion of our aluminum hedging activity and in 2011, the expense related to the write-off of the deferred financing costs from our prior debt.

Income tax (benefit) expense

Our effective combined federal and state tax rate is lower than the statutory rate for the year ended December 29, 2012, as we released a portion of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance to offset our regular tax expense. The $0.1 million of tax expense included in the statement of operations represents our expected alternative minimum tax obligation.

- 18 -

Our effective combined federal and state tax rate was a benefit of 12.1%, or $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, which relates to the impairment charge on our trade names and was a deferred benefit.

All deferred tax assets created in 2012 and 2011 were fully reserved with additional valuation allowances. Excluding the effects of these items, our 2012 and 2011 effective tax rates would have been 40.2% and 40.3% for each year, respectively.

2011 Compared with 2010

Net sales

Net sales for 2011 were $167.3 million, an $8.4 million, or 4.8%, decrease in sales from $175.7 million in the prior year.

The following table shows net sales classified by major product category (in millions, except percentages):


	Year Ended
	December 31, 2011					January 1, 2011
	Sales		% of sales			Sales		% of sales			% change
Product category:
Impact Window and Door Products	$	120.9		72.3	%	$	122.5		69.7	%		(1.3	%)
Other Window and Door Products		46.4		27.7	%		53.2		30.3	%		(12.8	%)

Total net sales	$	167.3		100.0	%	$	175.7		100.0	%		(4.8	%)

Net sales of our impact window and door products, which includes our WinGuard, Architectural Systems and PremierVue products were $120.9 million in 2011, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 1.3%, from $122.5 million in net sales for the prior year. This decrease was driven mainly by a $5.2 million, or 53.2%, decrease in our Architectural Systems products based on the softness in the market. Also contributing to the decrease are our aluminum WinGuard sales of 0.9%. Offsetting these decreases are increases in our Vinyl WinGuard line of $0.6 million, or 3.8%, and our PremierVue line of $3.8 million, or 110%, both of which benefited by our 2011 launch of our Crystal Award winning sliding glass door, that contributed $1.4 million to this sales increase.

Net sales of other window and door products, which includes aluminum and vinyl non-impact, and EZ-Breeze, were $46.4 million in 2011, a decrease of $6.8 million, or 12.8%, from $53.2 million for the prior year. This decrease was mainly due to the $6.3 million, or 33.2%, decrease in vinyl non-impact products, based on our decision to reduce our efforts in certain out of state markets. Also contributing to this decrease is a $1.0 million, or 4.6%, decrease in our aluminum products. EZE-Breeze sales were essentially flat from 2010 to 2011.

Gross margin

Gross margin was $39.1 million in 2011, a decrease of $11.0 million, or 22.0%, from $50.1 million in the prior year. The gross margin percentage was 23.4% in 2011 compared to 28.5% in the prior year. Gross margin included charges of $3.4 million in 2011 and $0.9 million in 2010 related to the consolidation of all North Carolina operations into our Florida facility. Cost of goods sold was also negatively impacted by temporary excess labor and scrap expense of $4.0 million as a result of the consolidation actions taken. This amount was determined by comparing the manufacturing results during consolidation with normalized pre-consolidation results. We returned to pre-consolidation levels during the third quarter of 2011. Adjusting for these charges, gross margin was 27.8% and 29.0% in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The 1.2% decrease in adjusted gross margin as a percent of sales was due to lower sales volume and reduced leverage of fixed costs of approximately $4.1 million, or (1.1%), cost increases and other spending increases of $3.3 million, or (0.9%), and $1.8 million of higher than expected material usage, or (0.4%). Offsetting these decreases was a price increase during the first quarter and a mix shift to more impact product which carry higher gross margin, which increased gross margin by $3.4 million, or 0.9%, and consolidating savings of $1.3 million, or 0.3%, in 2011.

Impairment charges

We performed our annual assessment of our trade names as of December 31, 2011, which indicated that an impairment was present resulting in a non-cash charge of $6.0 million. In 2010, there was an impairment charge of $5.6 million related primarily to the closing of our Salisbury, North Carolina operations.

- 19 -

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $48.6 million, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 9.8%, from $53.9 million in the prior year. Selling, general, and administrative expenses includes charges of $0.3 million in 2011 and $1.2 million in 2010 related to the consolidation actions taken in 2010. Excluding these charges selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4.3 million and as a percentage of sales were 28.9% in 2011 compared to 30.0% in 2010. This decrease was due mainly to a decrease in non-cash stock compensation of $1.8 million and cost savings from the consolidation of $1.7 million.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $4.2 million in 2011, a decrease of $0.9 million from $5.1 million in the prior year. During 2011, we prepaid $4.5 million of debt resulting in a lower average level of debt when compared to 2010. The interest rate on our debt decreased from 6.75% at the end of 2010 to 5.75% at the end of 2011 due to the refinancing of debt which decreased our interest rates in accordance with our tiered interest rate structure.

Gain on sale of assets

In 2011, we sold two non-essential assets from our North Carolina operations for a gain of $0.9 million.

Other expenses (income), net

There was other expense (income), net of $0.5 million and less than $0.1 million of other income in 2011 and 2010, respectively. In 2011, the expense related to the write-off of the deferred financing costs from our prior debt and in 2010, the other income relates to effective over-hedges of aluminum.

Income tax (benefit) expense

Our effective combined federal and state tax rate was a benefit of 12.1%, or $2.3 million and an expense of 0.5% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively. The 2011 tax benefit relates to the impairment charge on our trade names and was a deferred benefit. All deferred tax assets created in 2011 were fully reserved with additional valuation allowances. The 0.5% expense in 2010, relates to an adjustment to the provision recorded at the end of 2009 to the tax return as filed. All net deferred tax assets created in 2010 were fully reserved with additional valuation allowances. Excluding the effects of these items, our 2011 and 2010 effective tax rates would have been 38.8% and 35.6% for each year, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow generated by operations, supplemented by borrowings under our credit facility. This cash generating capability provides us with financial flexibility in meeting operating and investing needs. Our primary capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, and to meet required debt payments, including debt service payments on our credit facilities and fund capital expenditures.

2010 Rights Offering

On January 29, 2010, the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on December 24, 2009 relating to a previously announced offering of rights to purchase 20,382,326 shares of the Company’s common stock with an aggregate value of approximately $30.6 million. The registration statement relating to the rights offering was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on February 10, 2010, and the Company distributed to each holder of record of the Company’s common stock as of close of business on February 8, 2010, at no charge, one (1) non-transferable subscription right for every one and three-quarters (1.75) shares of common stock held by such holder under the basic subscription privilege. Each whole subscription right entitled its holder to purchase one share of PGT’s common stock at the subscription price of $1.50 per share. The rights offering also contained an over-subscription privilege that permitted all basic subscribers to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock up to an amount equal to the amount available to each such holder under the basic subscription privilege. Shares issued to each participant in the over-subscription were determined by calculating each subscriber’s percentage of the total shares over-subscribed, multiplied by the number of shares available in the over-subscription privilege. The rights offering expired on March 12, 2010.

- 20 -

The rights offering was 90.0% subscribed resulting in the Company distributing 18,336,368 shares of its common stock, including 15,210,184 shares under the basic subscription privilege and 3,126,184 under the over-subscription privilege, representing a 74.6% basic subscription participation rate. There were requests for 3,126,184 shares under the over-subscription privilege representing an allocation rate of 100% to each over-subscriber. Of the 18,336,368 shares issued, 13,333,332 shares were issued to JLL Partners Fund IV (“JLL”) the Company’s majority shareholder, including 10,719,389 shares issued under the basic subscription privilege and 2,613,943 shares issued under the over-subscription privilege. Prior to the rights offering, JLL held 18,758,934 shares, or 52.6%, of the Company’s outstanding common stock. With the completion of the rights offering, the Company has 54,005,439 total shares of common stock outstanding of which JLL holds 59.4%.

Net proceeds of $27.5 million from the rights offering were used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under our amended credit agreement in the amount of $15.0 million, and for general corporate purposes in the amount of $12.5 million.

Consolidated Cash Flows

Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $23.2 million for 2012 compared to cash used in operating activities of $1.7 million for 2011, and cash provided by operations of $12.3 million in 2010. The increase in cash flows from operations between 2012 and 2011 was due mainly to a reduction in the cash paid for consolidation of approximately $4.1 million and a reduction of cash paid for 2011 manufacturing inefficiencies of $4.0 million. Also contributing to the increase in cash was savings from consolidation of $3.0 million, savings from reduced excess material and scrap of $4.7 million, and increased cash related to increased sales and net profit in 2012. The decrease in cash from operations between 2011 and 2010 was due mainly to additional cash paid for the consolidation of approximately $10 million and the impact of the tax refund of $3.7 million received during 2010.

Cash (used in) provided by operations	$	23.2		$	(1.7	)	$	12.3

Other cash activity, net, includes $3.7 million in federal and state tax refunds in the year ended January 1, 2011. The majority of other cash collections are from scrap aluminum sales.

Day’s sales outstanding (DSO), which we calculate as accounts receivable divided by average daily sales, was 32 days on December 29, 2012, compared to 39 days on December 31, 2011, and 42 days on January 1, 2011. The decrease in DSO from 2011 to 2012 is the result of improved collection efforts and improved market conditions.

Inventory on hand as of December 29, 2012, was $11.5 million, a decrease of $0.1 million as compared to December 3, 2011, while sales increased 4.3%. Our inventory consists principally of raw materials purchased for the manufacture of our products and limited finished goods inventory as all products are customer, made-to-order products. Our inventory levels are more closely aligned with our number of product offerings rather than our level of sales. We have maintained our inventory level to have (i) raw materials required to support new product launches; (ii) a sufficient level of safety stock on certain items to ensure an adequate supply of material given a sudden increase in demand and our short lead-times; and (iii) adequate lead times for raw materials purchased from overseas suppliers in bulk supply. Inventory turns for the year ended December 29, 2012, decreased to 9.7 from 10.9 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. Inventory turns for the year ended December 31, 2011 decreased to 10.9 from 11.2 as compared to the year ended January 1, 2011.

Management monitors and evaluates raw material inventory levels based on the need for each discrete item to fulfill short-term requirements calculated from current order patterns and to provide appropriate safety stock. Because all our products are made-to-order, we have only a small amount of finished goods and work in progress inventory. Because of these factors, our inventories are not excessive, and we believe the value of such inventories will be realized.

Investing activities. Cash used in investing activities was $3.3 million for 2012 compared to cash used in investing activities of $1.8 million for 2011. The increase in cash used in investing activities was due to an increase in capital spending of $0.3 million along with a decrease in proceeds from sale of assets for $1.2 million.

Cash used in investing activities was $1.8 million for 2011 compared to cash used in investing activities of $6.0 million for 2010. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was due to a decrease in capital spending of $2.4 million for the 2010 purchase of assets related to the Hurricane Window & Door Factory acquisition along with the proceeds from sale of assets for $1.6 million and the impact of net cash used for excess margin returns for settlements of forward contracts related to our aluminum hedging program. This was offset by an increase in other capital purchases of $0.3 million.

Financing activities. Cash used in financing activities was $12.1 million in 2012. We prepaid an additional $8.0 million of our long term debt, paid $3.9 million for stock repurchases, and paid $0.1 million of deferred financing cost related to an amendment to our credit agreement.

Cash used in financing activities was $7.6 million in 2011. During 2011, we refinanced our debt and reduced the interest rate by 100 basis points. We also prepaid an additional $4.5 million of our long term debt and paid $3.0 million of deferred financing cost related to the refinancing.

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures vary depending on prevailing business factors, including current and anticipated market conditions. For 2012, capital expenditures were $3.8 million, compared to $3.5 million for 2011. We anticipate that cash flows from operations and liquidity from the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to execute our business plans.

Capital Resources. On June 23, 2011, PGT Industries, Inc. entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with three lenders. The Credit Agreement replaces our second amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of February 14, 2006 (the “Old Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $15.0 million revolving credit facility, a $48.0 million term loan facility and an uncommitted incremental facility in an amount of up to $25.0 million. The revolving credit facility commitment and the term loans under the Credit Agreement will mature five years from the date of the execution of the Credit Agreement. As of December 29, 2012, there were $1.1 million of letters of credit outstanding and $13.9 million available on the revolver.

All borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at either: (a) a “base rate” equal to the highest of: (i) 0.50% per year above the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System, (ii) the annual rate of interest in effect for that day as publicly announced as the “prime rate” and (iii) the one-month “eurodollar rate” (not to be less than 1.25%) or (b) a “Eurodollar base rate” equal to the higher of (i) 1.25% and (ii) (adjusted for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs for Eurodollar liabilities) the rate at which Eurodollar deposits in dollars for the relevant interest period (which will be one, two, three or six months or, subject to availability, nine or twelve months, as selected by us) are offered in the interbank Eurodollar market plus, in each case, a rate dependent on the ratio of our funded debt as compared to our adjusted consolidated EBITDA, ranging from 3.5% to 2.0% per year for borrowings bearing interest at the “base rate” and from 4.5% to 3.0% per year for borrowings bearing interest at the “Eurodollar rate” (such rate added to the “Eurodollar rate,” the “Eurodollar Margin”).

In accordance with the Credit Agreement, we will pay quarterly fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility at a rate equal to 0.50% as well as a quarterly letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Margin for revolving loans based on the maximum undrawn face amount of any outstanding letters of credit. We also pay customary transaction charges in connection with any letters of credit. These fees are included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. In connection with this refinancing, we wrote-off $0.4 million of deferred financing costs from the Old Credit Agreement, which are classified within other expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Credit Agreement imposes certain restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to: incur debt or provide guarantees; grant or suffer to exist liens; sell our assets; pay dividends or make other distributions in respect of capital stock; prepay certain indebtedness, make loans, advances, investments and acquisitions; change our line of business; engage in affiliate transactions; consummate mergers, consolidations or other fundamental transactions; and enter into agreements with negative pledge clauses. Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on October 1, 2011, the Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain certain minimum interest coverage ratios and maximum leverage ratios, which are tested at the end of each fiscal quarter, and further provides for customary affirmative covenants (including obligations to hedge a portion of our interest rate risk) and events of default. This obligation was fulfilled with an interest rate cap. (See Note 10) We believe that we are in compliance with all restrictive financial covenants as of December 29, 2012.

- 22 -

PGT, Inc. has unconditionally guaranteed all loans and other obligations under the Credit Agreement and related documents and such guarantee is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of our wholly owned subsidiary, PGT Industries, Inc., subject to certain limitations. PGT, Inc. has no operations or assets independent of its subsidiary.

During 2012, we prepaid $8.0 million on the new Credit Agreement with cash generated from operations and expensed $285 thousand of associated debt issuance costs in connection with the prepayment. This prepayment changed our required repayment schedule; however the final payment of all amounts outstanding (including accrued interest) is still due five years from the date of the execution of the Credit Agreement. (See Note 9)

Long-term debt including current portions and excluding capital lease obligations consisted of the following:


	December 29, 2012		December 31, 2011

The amounts reflected in the table above for operating leases represent future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases with an initial or remaining term in excess of one year at December 29, 2012. Purchase orders entered into in the ordinary course of business are excluded from the above table. Amounts for which we are liable are reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

We are obligated to purchase certain raw materials used in the production of our products from certain suppliers pursuant to stocking programs. If all of these programs were cancelled by us, we would be required to pay $1.7 million for various materials.

At December 29, 2012, we had $1.1 million in standby letters of credit related to our worker’s compensation insurance coverage.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we follow U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations.

On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such difference could be material. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Item 8, Note 2. The following is a summary of our more significant accounting estimates that require the use of judgment in preparing the financial statements.

- 24 -


Description	Judgments and Uncertainties	Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions
Long lived assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of long-lived assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated, based on management estimates. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, and depreciation is no longer recorded.	Estimates made by management are subject to change and include such things as how future growth assumptions, operating and capital expenditure requirements, asset useful lives and other factors, affect forecasted cash flows associated with the long lived assets. Additionally, fair value estimates, if required, can be affected by discount rates and/or estimates of the value of similar assets.	We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions we use to calculate long-lived asset impairment losses. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, we may be exposed to losses that could be material.

Allowances for doubtful accounts and notes receivable and related reserves

Losses for allowances for doubtful accounts and notes receivable and related reserves are recognized when they are probable, which requires us to make our best estimate of probable losses inherent in our receivables.	We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable based on specific identification of troubled balances and historical collection experience adjusted for current conditions such as the economic climate.	Actual collections can differ from our estimates, requiring adjustments to the allowances. A 10% difference between actual losses and estimated losses derived from the estimated reserve for accounts and notes receivable would impact net income by approximately $0.2 million.

Indefinite lived Intangibles

The impairment evaluation of the carrying amount of intangible assets with indefinite lives (which for us is our trade names) is conducted annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The evaluation is performed by comparing the carrying amount of these assets to their estimated fair values. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the intangible asset, then an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the asset to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is determined using the relief from royalty method that is based upon the discounted projected cost savings (value) attributable to ownership of our trade names, our only indefinite lived intangible assets.	In estimating fair value, the method we use requires us to make assumptions, the most material of which are net sales projections attributable to products sold with these trade names, the anticipated royalty rate we would pay if the trade names were not owned (as a percent of net sales), and a weighted average discount rate. These assumptions are subject to change based on changes in the markets in which these products are sold, which impact our projections of future net sales and the assumed royalty rate. Factors affecting the weighted average discount rate include assumed debt to equity ratios, risk-free interest rates and equity returns, each for market participants in our industry. Our year-end test of trade names, performed as of December 29, 2012, utilized a weighted average royalty rate of 4.0% and a discount rate of 14.3%. Net sales used in the analysis were based on historical experience and a modest growth in future years.	Actual results can differ from our estimates, requiring adjustments to our assumptions. The result of these changes could result in a material change in our calculation and an impairment of our trade names. As of December 29, 2012, the estimated fair value of the trade names exceeded book value by approximately 47% or $18.0 million. We believe our projected sales are reasonable based on, among other things, available information regarding our industry. We also believe the royalty rate is appropriate. The weighted average discount rate is impacted by current financial market trends and will remain dependent on such trends in the future. Absent offsetting changes in other factors, a 1% increase in the discount rate would decrease the estimated fair value of our trademarks by approximately $4.3 million but would not result in impairment.

Description	Judgments and Uncertainties	Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions
Warranty

We have warranty obligations with respect to most of our manufactured products. Obligations vary by product components. The reserve for warranties is based on our assessment of the costs that will have to be incurred to satisfy warranty obligations on recorded net sales.	The reserve is determined after assessing our warranty history and specific identification of our estimated future warranty obligations.	Changes to actual warranty claims incurred could have a material impact on our estimated warranty obligations.

Self Insurance Reserves

We are primarily self-insured for employee health benefits and for years prior to 2010 for workers’ compensation. For 2012, 2011 and 2010 we are fully insured with respect to workers’ compensation.	Our workers’ compensation reserves, for the self-insured periods 2009 and prior are accrued based on third-party actuarial valuations of the expected future liabilities. Health benefits are self-insured by us up to pre-determined stop loss limits. These reserves, including incurred but not reported claims, are based on internal computations. These computations consider our historical claims experience, independent statistics, and trends.	Changes to actual workers’ compensation or health benefit claims incurred and interest rates could have a material impact on our estimated self-insurance reserves.

Stock-Based Compensation

We utilize a fair-value based approach for measuring stock-based compensation to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for our Company’s equity instruments. We determine the fair value of our stock option awards at the date of grant using the Black-Sholes model. We record compensation expense over an award’s vesting period based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. Our awards vest based only on service conditions and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis for each separately vesting portion of an award.	Option-pricing models and generally accepted valuation techniques require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to determine the fair value of our awards. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the future volatility of our stock price, expected dividend yield, future employee forfeiture rates and future employee stock option exercise behaviors. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest, and we have applied an estimated forfeiture rate to unvested awards for the purpose of calculating compensation cost. These estimates, based mostly on historical experience, will be revised in future periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates. Changes in forfeiture estimates impact compensation cost in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.	We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to determine stock-based compensation expense. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to changes in stock-based compensation expense that could be material. A 10% change in our stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 29, 2012, would have affected net income by approximately $0.1 million.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2011-11 Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Subsequently, in February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-1, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. These updates amended the guidance related to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities, including recognized financial instruments and derivatives. The provisions of the amended guidance will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2013. We do not expect the adoption of the provisions of the guidance to have a material impact on our disclosures.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The guidance amends the requirements of ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. The goal behind the amendments is to improve the transparency of reporting reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. It does not change current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The provisions of the guidance will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2013. We do not expect the adoption of the provisions of the guidance to have a material impact on our disclosures.

FORWARD OUTLOOK

From time to time, we have made or will make forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements usually can be identified by the use of words such as “goal”, “objective”, “plan”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “project”, “believe”, “estimate”, “may”, “could”, or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events, results, circumstances or aspirations. Our disclosures in this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We may also make forward-looking statements in our other documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in oral presentations. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and by their nature are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results may differ materially from those set forth in our forward-looking statements. There is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

•

Changes in new home starts and home remodeling trends

•

The economy in the U.S. generally or in Florida where the substantial portion of our sales are generated

•

Raw material prices, especially aluminum

•

Transportation costs

•

Level of indebtedness

•

Dependence on our WinGuard branded product lines

•

Product liability and warranty claims

•

Federal and state regulations

•

Dependence on our manufacturing facilities

•

The controlling interest of JLL Partners Fund IV, L.P.

Any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf speak only as of the date they are made and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of subsequent events or circumstances. Before making any investment decision, you should carefully consider all risks and uncertainties disclosed in all our SEC filings, including our reports on Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K and our registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, all of which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and at http://ir.pgtindustries.com/sec.cfm

Net sales

We closed 2012 with a $7.3 million, or 4.3%, increase in sales over 2011. Our increase was driven by an increase in our WinGuard products which increased $12.9 million, or 11.8% versus 2011. This increase was driven by our promotional and marketing activities along with the strengthening of the new construction market. Moody’s is forecasting an increase in new construction market of 42% for 2013. Although this forecast may be aggressive, we believe this is a good indicator for the market. However, the repair and remodel market is forecasted to be flat for 2013, and there are still issues to overcome such as high unemployment rates and ongoing economic issues in Florida and the country.

- 27 -

While net sales improved and indicators suggest the industry is ready for improvement we will continue to operate with a more conservative view until stable and predictable growth in the marketplace is achieved.

Gross margin

We believe the following factors, which are not all inclusive, may impact our gross margin in 2013:

•

Our gross margin percentages are heavily influenced by total sales due to operating leverage of fixed costs as well as product mix of impact and non-impact products and also vinyl frame versus aluminum frame products, and vinyl continues to increase its share of our core market.

•

As of December 29, 2012, outstanding aluminum hedges were classified as ineffective for accounting purposes. Settlements for these hedges in 2013 will be reported in other (income) expense. As such, cost of sales will be subject to the variability of the aluminum market. As of February 8, 2013, cash price of aluminum was $0.94 per pound. Based on 2012 sales, a 10% change would affect margins by $1.0 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

If the cost of diesel fuel continues to increase, our selling, general and administrative costs will increase. In addition, economic and credit conditions may negatively impact our bad debt expense. We continue to monitor our customers’ credit profiles carefully and make changes in our terms where necessary in response to this heightened risk.

Interest expense

We prepaid $8.0 million in outstanding borrowings during 2012. We believe this decrease in debt levels for the full year of 2012 will result in our paying less interest in 2013 than in 2012. In January 2013, we sold our Salisbury, NC facility for approximately $8.0 million ($7.5 million net of selling costs). The proceeds were used to voluntarily pay debt on January 31, 2013, bringing our gross debt to $30.0 million at that time.

Liquidity and capital resources

We had $18.7 million of cash on hand as of December 29, 2012. While we are confident in our ability to generate cash flow in this housing market and economy, we may use this cash to pay down debt, invest in marketing activities or for other business purposes.

We continue to repurchase our common stock. As of February 26, 2013, we have repurchased a total of 1,282,194 shares of common stock at a price of $5.7 million, since the inception of the program. We still have authorization to spend an addition $14.3 million for future repurchases.

Management expects to spend nearly $7.3 million on capital expenditures in 2013, including capital expenditures related to the new ERP system and product investments in lines targeted at increasing sales. We expect depreciation to be approximately $4.9 million and amortization to be approximately $6.5 million in 2013. On December 29, 2012, we had outstanding purchase commitments on capital projects of approximately $1.3 million.

Summary

Just as 2011 was focused on the consolidation of all North Carolina operations to Florida, 2012 was the year we focused on increasing growth in our core market. In 2012, emphasis on the core market utilized strategies such as promotional activities and partnering with national accounts to increase sales. We believe that we are poised in 2013 to continue sales growth and improve overall efficiencies. We continue to maintain our name recognition through our value proposition and are determined to provide the most benefit for our stockholders, employees and other stakeholders.

Item 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge price movements in our aluminum materials. We are exposed to changes in the price of aluminum as set by the trades on the London Metal Exchange. We have entered into 24 forward aluminum contracts; however, they became ineffective and no longer qualify as hedging instruments. These settle at various times through the end of 2013 for 3.9 million pounds at an average price of $0.94 per pound. Changes

- 28 -

in the fair value will be included in the current period earnings as other expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of our aluminum forward contracts is less than $0.1 million and is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2012.

For forward contracts for the purchase of aluminum at December 29, 2012, a 10% decrease in the price of aluminum would decrease the fair value of our forward contracts of aluminum by $0.4 million. This calculation utilizes our actual commitment of 3.9 million pounds under contract (to be settled throughout 2013) and the market price of aluminum as of December 29, 2012, which was approximately $0.92 per pound.

On August 8, 2011, we entered into a two year interest rate cap to offset the interest rate fluctuation associated with 50% of our initial outstanding debt. We are exposed to changes in the LIBOR rate, should it increase over our floor established in the Credit Agreement of 1.25%. The cap indexes to quarterly LIBOR with a notional amount of $24.0 million, based on a strike rate of 1.25% payable quarterly, which will effectively fix our LIBOR rate at a maximum of 1.25% for that amount of debt. Changes in the intrinsic value of the cap are expected to offset the changes in cash flow (changes in interest payments) attributable to fluctuations in interest rates above 1.25%. This interest rate cap was not designated as a hedge; therefore, changes in the fair value and changes in intrinsic value are and will be included in the current period earnings as other expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations.; Based on our debt outstanding at December 29, 2012, of $37.5 million, of which $24.0 million is covered by our interest rate cap, a 1% increase in interest rates above our interest rate floor established in the Credit Agreement would result in approximately $0.1 million of additional interest expense annually.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

PGT, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PGT, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PGT, Inc. and subsidiary at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business

PGT, Inc. (“PGTI”, “we,” or the “Company”) is a leading manufacturer of impact-resistant aluminum and vinyl-framed windows and doors and offers a broad range of fully customizable window and door products. The majority of our sales are to customers in the state of Florida; however, we also sell products in over 40 states, the Caribbean, Canada, Australia, and in South and Central America. Products are sold through an authorized dealer and distributor network.

We were incorporated in the state of Delaware on December 16, 2003, as JLL Window Holdings, Inc. On January 29, 2004, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of PGT Holding Company, based in North Venice, Florida. On February 15, 2006, our Company was renamed PGT, Inc. We have one manufacturing operation and one glass tempering and laminating plant in North Venice. During the first half of 2011, we consolidated our North Carolina operations into our Florida plant. (See Note 4)

All references to PGTI or our Company apply to the consolidated financial statements of PGT, Inc. unless otherwise noted.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).

Fiscal period

Our fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday nearest December 31 of the related year. The periods ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011 consisted of 52 weeks.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the operations, financial position and cash flows of PGTI and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Segment information

We operate as one operating segment, the manufacture and sale of windows and doors.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting estimates involved in applying our accounting policies are those that require management to make assumptions about matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made and those for which different estimates reasonably could have been used for the current period. Critical accounting estimates are also those which could have a material impact on the presentation of PGTI’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition

We recognize sales when all of the following criteria have been met: a valid customer order with a fixed price has been received; the product has been delivered and accepted by the customer; and collectability is reasonably assured. All sales recognized are net of allowances for discounts and estimated credits, which are estimated using historical experience. We record provisions against gross revenues for estimated credits in the period when the related revenue is recorded. These estimates are based on factors that include, but are not limited to, analysis of credit memorandum activity.

- 37 -

Cost of sales

Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production of our products. Primary costs include raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing overhead and related expenses primarily include salaries, wages, employee benefits, utilities, maintenance, engineering and property taxes.

Cost of sales was impacted by consolidation and restructuring charges recorded for the years ending December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011. (See Note 4)

Shipping and handling costs

Shipping and handling costs incurred in the purchase of materials used in the manufacturing process are included in cost of sales. Costs relating to shipping and handling of our finished products are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and total $9.0 million, $11.6 million, and $12.8 million for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively.

Advertising

We expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses was $0.7 million, $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively.

Research and development costs

We expense research and development costs as incurred. Research and development costs included in cost of sales were $1.4 million, $1.4 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand or highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less.

Accounts and notes receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

We extend credit to qualified dealers and distributors, generally on a non-collateralized basis. Accounts receivable and notes receivable are recorded at their gross receivable amount, reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that results in the receivable being recorded at its net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessments of the amount which may become uncollectable in the future and is determined through consideration of our write-off history, specific identification of uncollectable accounts based in part on the customer’s past due balance (based on contractual terms), and consideration of prevailing economic and industry conditions. Uncollectable accounts are written off after repeated attempts to collect from the customer have been unsuccessful.

As of December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, there were $0.2 million, $0.9 million, and $1.5 million of trade notes receivable, respectively, for which there was an allowance of $0.2 million, $0.8 million, and $1.0 million, respectively, included in other current assets and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Self-insurance reserves

We are primarily self-insured for employee health benefits and for years prior to 2010 for workers’ compensation claims. Our workers’ compensation reserves are accrued based on third-party actuarial valuations of the expected future liabilities. Health benefits are self-insured by us up to pre-determined stop loss limits. These reserves, including incurred but not reported claims, are based on internal computations. These computations consider our historical claims experience, independent statistics, and trends. Changes to actual workers’ compensation or health benefit claims incurred and interest rates could have a material impact on our estimated self-insurance reserves. For 2012, 2011, and 2010 we are fully insured with respect to workers’ compensation.

Warranty expense

We have warranty obligations with respect to most of our manufactured products. Warranty periods, which vary by product components, generally range from 1 to 10 years, although the warranty period for a limited number of specifically identified components in certain applications is a lifetime. However, the majority of the products sold have warranties on components which range from 1 to 3 years. The reserve for warranties is based on management’s assessment of the cost per service call and the number of service calls expected to be incurred to satisfy warranty obligations on recorded net sales. The reserve is determined after assessing Company history and through specific identification. Expected future obligations are discounted to a current value using a risk-free rate for obligations with similar maturities. The following provides information with respect to our warranty accrual.


Accrued Warranty	Beginning of Period		Charged to Expense		Adjustments			Settlements			End of Period
	(in thousands)
Year ended December 29, 2012	$	4,406	$	3,157	$	(512	)	$	(3,193	)	$	3,858

Year ended January 1, 2011	$	4,233	$	3,514	$	(66	)	$	(3,355	)	$	4,326

The accrual for warranty is included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011. The portion of warranty expense related to the issuance of product is $0.7 million, $1.1 million, and $0.9 million and is included in cost of sales on the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively. The portion related to servicing warranty claims including costs of the service department personnel is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations, and is $2.3 million, $2.5 million, and $2.5 million, respectively, for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011.

Inventories

Inventories consist principally of raw materials purchased for the manufacture of our products. We have limited finished goods inventory as all products are custom, made-to-order products. Finished goods inventory costs include direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. The reserve for obsolescence is based on management’s assessment of the amount of inventory that may become obsolete in the future and is determined through company history, specific identification and consideration of prevailing economic and industry conditions.

Inventories consist of the following:

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciable assets are assigned estimated lives as follows:


Building and improvements			5 to 40 years
Furniture and equipment			3 to 10 years
Vehicles			3 to 10 years
Computer Software			3 years

Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.

Long-lived assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of long-lived assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, and depreciation is no longer recorded.

In January 2011, as part of the North Carolina consolidation, we reviewed the fair value of the Salisbury property based on an appraisal of the value of the property which we consider, Level 2 inputs, and the value of furniture and fixtures and machinery and equipment for impairment. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $4.6 million to adjust the carrying value of the property and an impairment charge of $0.9 million to write-off the value of certain personal property that was abandoned. Also, in 2011, we sold the Lexington, North Carolina facility and the selling price less the closing costs resulted in an additional impairment of less than $0.1 million.

In the second quarter of 2012, we entered into an agreement to list the Salisbury, North Carolina facility for sale with an agent, at which time the asset was moved to assets held for sale in the accompanying balance sheet. During the fourth quarter we accepted an offer to sell the property and the sale closed in the first quarter of 2013. In that the purchase price less closing costs is in excess of the current carrying cost, no change to the carrying cost is necessary.

Computer software

We capitalize costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and it is probable that computer software being developed will be completed and placed in service. Capitalized costs include:

(i) external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining computer software,

(ii) payroll and other related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the software project, and

(iii) interest costs incurred, when material, while developing internal-use software.

Capitalization of such costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose.

Capitalized software as of December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, was $13.0 million and $13.5 million, respectively. Accumulated depreciation of capitalized software was $12.1 million and $11.8 million as of December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Depreciation expense for capitalized software was $1.0 million, $0.9 million, and $1.0 million for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively.

We review the carrying value of capitalized software and development costs for impairment in accordance with our policy pertaining to the impairment of long-lived assets.

Other intangibles

Other intangible assets consist of trade names, customer-related and intellectual intangible assets. The useful lives of trade names were determined to be indefinite and, therefore, these assets are not being amortized. Customer-related intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of ten years. Intellectual intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of three years. The impairment evaluation of intangible assets with indefinite lives is conducted annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The evaluation is performed by comparing the carrying amount of these assets to their estimated fair value.

If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, then an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the asset to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is generally determined on the basis of discounted future projected cost savings attributable to ownership of the intangible assets with indefinite lives which, for us, are our trade names. (See Note 7)

The assumptions used in the estimate of fair value are generally consistent with past performance and are also consistent with the projections and assumptions that are used in our current operating plans. Such assumptions are subject to change as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions.

The determination of fair value used in that assessment is highly sensitive to differences between estimated and actual cash flows and changes in the related discount rate used to evaluate fair value. Estimated cash flows are sensitive to changes in the Florida housing market and changes in the economy among other things.

Deferred financing costs

Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the debt instrument to which they relate. Unamortized deferred financing costs totaled $1.9 million and $2.6 million at December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.

On November 15, 2012, in connection with the announcement by our Board of Directors authorizing the repurchase of up to $20.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2013, we amended our long-term debt agreement incurring $0.1 million of deferred financing costs to be amortized over the remaining credit agreement life.

- 41 -

On June 23, 2011, we refinanced our long-term debt incurring $3.0 million of deferred financing costs to be amortized over the credit agreement life. Also, in connection with this refinancing, we wrote off $0.4 million of deferred financing costs from the old credit agreement, which is classified within other expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011. In the year ended January 1, 2011, an additional $0.9 million of financing costs were deferred and were being amortized related to an amendment of our credit facility.

Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. There was $0.9 million of amortization for the year ended December 29, 2012, $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, and $0.8 million for the year ended January 1, 2011. These amounts include write-offs of deferred financing costs related to the prepayments of portions of our long-term debt (Note 9) in the amounts of $0.3 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively. Accumulated amortization of debt issuance costs are $1.3 million, related to the new debt, at the end of December 29, 2012.

Estimated amortization of deferred financing costs is as follows for future fiscal years:

Derivative financial instruments

We utilize certain derivative instruments, from time to time, including forward contracts and interest rate swaps and caps to manage variability in cash flow associated with commodity market price risk exposure in the aluminum market and interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Additional information with regard to derivative instruments is contained in Note 10.

We account for derivative instruments in accordance with the guidance under the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the Codification which requires us to recognize all of our derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship based on its effectiveness in hedging against the exposure and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, we must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.

Our forward contracts are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk). The Derivatives and Hedging topic of the Codification provides that the effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated and qualifying as a cash flow hedging instrument be reported as a component of other comprehensive income and be reclassified into earnings in the same line item in the income statement as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on these derivative instruments, if any, is recognized in other income/expense in current earnings during the period of change.

On occasion, cash flow hedges may no longer qualify to be designated as hedging instruments; at that time future changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. When a cash flow hedge is terminated, if the forecasted hedged transaction is still probable of occurrence, amounts previously recorded in other comprehensive income remain in other comprehensive income and are recognized in earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

As of December 29, 2012, we did not have cash on deposit with our commodities broker related to funding of margin calls on open forward contracts for the purchase of aluminum. The net asset position of $20 thousand on December 29, 2012, is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as it relates to open contracts with scheduled prompt dates in 2013.

- 42 -

For statement of cash flows presentation, we present net cash receipts from and payments to the margin account as investing activities.

Also during 2011, as part of our debt requirements, we entered into a two year interest cap to offset the interest rate fluctuation associated with 50% of our initial outstanding debt. This interest rate cap was not designated as a hedge; therefore, changes in the fair value and changes in intrinsic value are and will be included in the current period earnings as other expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations. At December 29, 2012, the fair value of our interest rate cap was less than a $1 thousand.

Financial instruments

Our financial instruments, not including derivative financial instruments discussed in Note 11, include cash, accounts and notes receivable, and accounts payable whose carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Our financial instruments also include long-term debt. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on debt with similar terms and characteristics and was approximately $37.5 million as of December 29, 2012, and approximately $45.5 million as of December 31, 2011, both of which approximate carrying value as of those dates.

Concentrations of credit risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are due primarily from companies in the construction industry located in Florida and the eastern half of the United States. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history, and generally collateral is not required.

We maintain our cash with a several financial institutions. The balance exceeds federally insured limits. At December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, such balance exceeded the insured limit by $18.7 million and $10.8 million, respectively.

Comprehensive income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is reported on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Accumulated other comprehensive loss is reported on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.

Gains and losses on cash flow hedges, to the extent effective, are included in other comprehensive income (loss). Reclassification adjustments reflecting such gains and losses are recorded as income in the same period as the hedged items affect earnings. Additional information with regard to accounting policies associated with derivative instruments is contained in Note 10.

Stock compensation

We use a fair-value based approach for measuring stock-based compensation and, therefore, record compensation expense over an award’s vesting period based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. Our Company’s awards vest based only on service conditions and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis for each separately vesting portion of an award. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest, and we have applied an estimated forfeiture rate to unvested awards for the purpose of calculating compensation cost. These estimates will be revised in future periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates. Changes in forfeiture estimates impact compensation cost in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. We recorded compensation expense for stock based awards of $1.4 million before tax, or $0.02 per diluted share after-tax effect, $1.8 million before income tax, or $0.03 per diluted share after-tax effect, and $2.3 million before income tax, or $0.04 per diluted share after-tax effect, in the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively.

Income and other taxes

We account for income taxes utilizing the liability method. Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect consequences on future years of differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities measured using the enacted statutory tax rates and tax laws applicable to the periods in which differences are expected to affect taxable earnings. We have no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits. However, should we accrue for such liabilities, when and if they arise in the future, we will recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of our income tax provision.

- 43 -

Sales taxes collected from customers have been recorded on a net basis.

Net income (loss) per common share

We present basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. We follow the “two class” method of accounting for earnings per share due to the fact that our unvested restricted stock awards are participating securities.

Our weighted average shares outstanding excludes underlying options of 0.5 million, 5.5 million and 4.4 million for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively, because their effects were anti-dilutive.

The table below presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share, including a reconciliation of weighted average common shares:

3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued two Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”), which amend guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance requires an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders’ equity has been eliminated. Although the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under existing guidance. We have presented consecutive statements for all periods.

4. Consolidation and Restructurings

On December 3, 2010, we announced that our Salisbury, North Carolina operations would be transferred to Venice, Florida to consolidate our window and door production at our Florida plant. During 2011, we recorded consolidation charges of $4.1 million, which includes $1.3 million of severance expense and $2.8 million of moving expenses. The classification of charges were $3.4 million within cost of goods sold, and the remaining $0.7 million within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The total charges recorded through December 31, 2011, for the consolidation are $6.2 million, $2.1 million having been recorded in December 2010, of which approximately less than $0.1 million and $1.8 million were accrued as of December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively, and are classified in accounts payable and accrued liabilities within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid severance expense as of December 31, 2011, was disbursed prior to the end of 2012.

In the second quarter of 2012, we entered into an agreement to list the Salisbury, North Carolina facility for sale with an agent, at which time the asset was moved to assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During the fourth quarter we accepted an offer to sell the property and the sale closed in the first quarter of 2013. The purchase price less closing costs is in excess of the current carrying costs. The facility’s carrying value was $5.3 million as of December 29, 2012. On January 23, 2013, the sale closed for approximately $8.0 million in cash (approximately $7.5 million net of selling costs).

6. Acquisition

On December 17, 2010, we exercised our option to acquire the intellectual property assets of Hurricane Window and Door Factory, LLC (“Hurricane”) of Ft. Myers, Florida. With this acquisition, we acquired, among other things, all of the intellectual property underlying our PremierVue line of vinyl impact-resistant windows and doors for the single- and multi-family residential markets. The purchase price was $2.8 million of which $2.6 million was paid at closing, and the remainder was paid during 2011. As of January 1, 2011, $0.2 million was included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet. The carrying value of the intangible assets of $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, are included in other intangible assets, net, in the accompanying balance sheets at December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011. The intangible assets are being amortized on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of approximately 3 years. Amortization expense of $0.9 million, $1.0 million, and less than $0.1 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively.

Indefinite Lived Intangible Asset

The impairment evaluation of the carrying amount of intangible assets with indefinite lives is conducted annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. Although a qualitative assessment is permitted, we will continue to perform a quantitative test given recent fluctuations in the markets we serve. This test is performed by comparing the carrying amount of these assets to their estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the intangible assets, then an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the asset to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is determined using the relief from royalty method that is based upon the discounted projected cost savings (value) attributable to ownership of our trade names, our only indefinite lived intangible assets. We categorize these trade names as being valued using Level 3 inputs.

Given the decline in housing starts in 2011, the overall tightening of the credit markets, and our revised forecasts in 2011, all of which are impairment indicators, we performed the assessment of our trade names and an impairment was present. The assessment resulted in an impairment charge of $6.0 million for 2011. After this charge, intangible assets not subject to amortization totaled $38.4 million at December 31, 2011. No additional impairment was recorded during the year end December 29, 2012.

In estimating fair value, the method we use requires us to make assumptions, the most material of which are net sales projections attributable to products sold with these trade names, the anticipated royalty rate we would pay if the trade names were not owned (as a percent of net sales), and a weighted average discount rate. These assumptions are subject to change based on changes in the markets in which these products are sold, which impact our projections of future net sales and the assumed royalty rate. Factors affecting the weighted average discount rate include assumed debt to equity ratios, risk-free interest rates and equity returns, each for market participants in our industry.

Our year-end test of trade names performed as of December 29, 2012, utilized net sales, which reflected the current market conditions and include modest growth in future years, a weighted average royalty rate of 4.0% and a discount rate of 14.3%. As of December 29, 2012, the estimated fair value of the trade names exceeded book value by approximately 47%, or $18.0 million. We believe our projected sales are reasonable based on available information regarding our industry. We also believe the royalty rate is appropriate and could improve over time based on market trends and information, including that which is set forth above. The discount rate was based on current financial market trends and will remain dependent on such trends in the future.

Amortizable Intangible Assets

As a result of the impairment indicators described above, we tested our amortizable intangible assets, which are our customer relationships and Hurricane intellectual assets, for impairment by comparing the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group containing these assets to their carrying values and determined that there was no impairment for the year ended December 31, 2011. No impairment testing was performed during the years ended December 31, 2012, and January 1, 2011, due to the fact that there were no impairment indicators.

On June 23, 2011, PGT Industries, Inc. entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with three lenders. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s second amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of February 14, 2006 (the “Old Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $15.0 million revolving credit facility, a $48.0 million term loan facility and an uncommitted incremental facility in an amount of up to $25.0 million. The revolving credit facility commitment and the term loans under the Credit Agreement will mature five years from the date of the execution of the Credit Agreement. As of December 29, 2012, there were $1.1 million in letters of credit outstanding and $13.9 million available on the revolver.

equal to the higher of (i) 1.25% and (ii) (adjusted for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs for Eurodollar liabilities) the rate at which Eurodollar deposits in dollars for the relevant interest period (which will be one, two, three or six months or, subject to availability, nine or twelve months, as selected by us) are offered in the interbank Eurodollar market plus, in each case, a rate dependent on the ratio of our funded debt as compared to our adjusted consolidated EBITDA, ranging from 3.5% to 2.0% per year for borrowings bearing interest at the “base rate” and from 4.5% to 3.0% per year for borrowings bearing interest at the “Eurodollar rate” (such rate added to the “Eurodollar rate,” the “Eurodollar Margin”).

On November 15, 2012, we entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of June 23, 2011. The Amendment permits us to spend up to $20.0 million to repurchase our shares of common stock through a share repurchase program. Pursuant to the Amendment, we may make transfers from time to time of cash and cash equivalents into a designated account in an aggregate amount of up to $20.0 million, subject to certain customary conditions being satisfied on the date of any such transfer, and may withdraw any funds deposited in such account and return them to the Company. Funds in such designated account may only be spent to fund the share repurchase program or pay fees and expenses in connection with such program.

During 2012, we prepaid $8.0 million on the new Credit Agreement with cash generated from operations and expensed $285 thousand of associated debt issuance costs. This prepayment changed our required repayment schedule; however the final payment of all amounts outstanding (including accrued interest) is still due five years from the date of the execution of the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the cash proceeds from the sale of our Salisbury facility on January 23, 2013, we voluntarily repaid $7.5 million in debt on January 31, 2013, bringing our long term debt down to $30.0 million.

10. Derivatives

Aluminum Forward Contracts

We enter into aluminum forward contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the purchase price of aluminum extrusion we use in production. Our contracts are initially designated as cash flow hedges since they are believed to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows attributable to forecasted purchases of aluminum.

Guidance under the Financial Instruments topic of the Codification requires us to record our hedge contracts at fair value and consider our credit risk for contracts in a liability position, and our counter-party’s credit risk for contracts in an asset position, in determining fair value. We assess our counter-party’s risk of non-performance when measuring the fair value of financial instruments in an asset position by evaluating their financial position, including cash on hand, as well as their credit ratings. We assess our risk of non-performance when measuring the fair value of our financial instruments in a liability position by evaluating our credit ratings, our current liquidity including cash on hand and availability under our revolving credit facility as compared to the maturities of the financial liabilities. In addition, we entered into a master netting arrangement (MNA) with our commodities broker that provides for, among other things, the close-out netting of exchange-traded transactions in the event of the insolvency of either party to the MNA.

We net cash collateral from payments of margin calls on deposit with our commodities broker against the liability position of open contracts for the purchase of aluminum on a first-in, first-out basis. For statement of cash flows presentation, we present net cash receipts from and payments to the margin account as investing activities.

We maintain a $2.0 million line of credit with our commodities broker to cover the liability position of open contracts for the purchase of aluminum in the event that the price of aluminum falls. Should the price of aluminum fall to a level which causes our liability for open aluminum contracts to exceed $2.0 million, we are required to fund daily margin calls to cover the excess.

As of December 29, 2012, the fair value of our aluminum forward contracts was in a net asset position of approximately $20 thousand. We had 24 outstanding forward contracts for the purchase of 3.9 million pounds of aluminum at an average price of $0.94 per pound with maturity dates of between less than one month and 12 months through December 2013. We assessed the risk of non-performance of the counterparty on these contracts and recorded an immaterial adjustment to fair value as of December 29, 2012.

As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of our aluminum forward contracts was in a net liability position of approximately $254 thousand. We had 30 outstanding forward contracts for the purchase of 5.7 million pounds of aluminum at an average price of $0.97 per pound with maturity dates of between less than one month and 12 months through December 2012. We assessed the risk of non-performance of the Company on these contracts and recorded an immaterial adjustment to fair value as of December 31, 2011.

- 49 -

Interest Rate Contract

On August 8, 2011, we entered into a two year interest rate cap to hedge interest rate increases associated with 50% of our initial outstanding debt. We are exposed to changes in the LIBOR rate, should it increase over our floor established in the Credit Agreement of 1.25%. The cap indexes to quarterly LIBOR with a notional amount of $24,000,000, based on a strike rate of 1.25% payable quarterly, which will effectively cap our LIBOR rate at a maximum of 1.25% for that amount of debt. Changes in the intrinsic value of the cap are expected to offset the changes in cash flow (changes in interest payments) attributable to fluctuations in interest rates above 1.25%. This interest rate cap was not designated as a hedge; therefore, changes in the fair value and changes in intrinsic value are and will be included in the current period earnings as other expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations. At December 29, 2012, the fair value of our interest rate cap was in an asset position of less than $1 thousand. `

The fair value of our aluminum hedges and interest rate cap are classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands):


		December 29, 2012		December 31, 2011
Derivatives in a net asset (liability) position	Balance Sheet Location
Hedging instruments:
Aluminum forward contracts	Other Current Assets	$	20	$	—
Interest rate cap	Other Current Assets		—		28
Aluminum forward contracts	Accrued Liabilities		—		(254	)

Total hedging instruments		$	20	$	(226	)

Although it is our intent to have our aluminum hedges qualify as highly effective for reporting purposes, for the year ended December 29, 2012, they did not qualify as effective. Effectiveness of aluminum forward contracts is determined by comparing the change in the fair value of the forward contract to the change in the expected cash to be paid for the hedged item. The effective portion of the gain or loss on our aluminum forward contracts is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into earnings in the same line item in the income statement as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the transaction affects earnings. During the third and fourth quarter of 2012, these contracts became ineffective and no longer qualify for hedge accounting. When a cashflow hedge becomes ineffective, and if the forecasted hedged transaction is still probable of occurrence, amounts previously recorded in other comprehensive income remain in other comprehensive income and are recognized in earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The change in value of the aluminum forward contracts occurring after termination is recognized in other expense (income), net on the consolidated statements of operations.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, our aluminum hedges qualified as highly effective for reporting purposes and the ineffective portion of the hedging instrument was not significant.

The ending accumulated balance for the aluminum forward contracts included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, is $0.1 million as of December 29, 2012.

11. Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The accounting guidance concerning fair value allows us to elect to measure financial instruments at fair value and report the changes in fair value through earnings. This election can only be made at certain specified dates and is irrevocable once made. We do not have a policy regarding specific assets or liabilities to elect to measure at fair value, but rather we make the election on an instrument-by-instrument basis as they are acquired or incurred.

- 51 -

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following assets and liabilities are measured in the consolidated financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized in the table below based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuation:


	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date of Net Asset Using:

Interest rate cap		28			—		28			—

Derivative financial instruments, net liability	$	(226	)	$	—	$	(226	)	$	—

The following is a description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the basis for classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 2.

Aluminum forward contracts identical to those held by us trade on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”). The LME provides a transparent forum and is the world’s largest center for the trading of futures contracts for non-ferrous metals. The prices are used by the metals industry worldwide as the basis for contracts for the movement of physical material throughout the production cycle. Based on this high degree of volume and liquidity in the LME, we believe the valuation price at any measurement date for contracts with identical terms as to prompt date, trade date and trade price as those we hold at any time represents a contract’s exit price to be used for purposes of determining fair value.

Interest rate cap contracts identical to that held by us are sold by financial institutions. The valuation price at any measurement date for a contract with identical terms, exercise price, the expiration date, the settlement date, and notional quantities, as the one we hold, is used for determining the fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value at December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively (in thousands):


	December 29, 2012				December 31, 2011
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Financial assets and liabilities
Cash and cash equivalents	$	18,743	$	18,743	$	10,940	$	10,940
Accounts receivable, net	$	13,997	$	13,997	$	13,830	$	13,830

The following provides a description of the methods and significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Cash and cash equivalents — The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts due to their highly liquid or short-term nature.

Accounts receivable, net — The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities — The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.

- 52 -

Debt — The estimated fair value of this debt is based on Level 2 inputs of debt with similar terms and characteristics.

12. Income Taxes

We consider all income sources, including other comprehensive income, in determining the amount of tax benefit allocated to continuing operations (the “Income Tax Allocation”).

The components of income tax expense (benefit) are as follows (in thousands):


	Year Ended
	December 29, 2012			December 31, 2011			January 1, 2011
Current:
Federal	$	192		$	—		$	77
State		—			—			—

		192			—			77

Deferred:
Federal		—			(2,086	)		—
State		(82	)		(238	)		—

		(82	)		(2,324	)		—

Income tax expense (benefit)	$	110		$	(2,324	)	$	77

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to our effective rate is provided below:


	Year Ended
	December 29, 2012			December 31, 2011			January 1, 2011
Statutory federal income tax rate		35.0	%		35.0	%		35.0	%
State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit		3.8	%		4.0	%		4.0	%
Alternative minimum tax		2.1	%		—			—
Other		(0.9	%)		(0.2	%)		(0.4	%)
Non-deductible expenses		0.3	%		—			(0.3	%)
State tax credits		—			—			(2.7	%)
Valuation allowance on deferred tax assets		(39.1	%)		(26.7	%)		(36.1	%)

		1.2	%		12.1	%		(0.5	%)

Our effective combined federal and state tax rate was 1.2%, 12.1%, and (0.5%), for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively. Our tax rate is lower than the statutory rate for 2012, as we released a portion of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance to offset our regular tax expense. The $0.1 million of tax expense included in the consolidated statements of operations represents our alternative minimum tax obligation offset with the state tax impact for a change in our state tax rate.

The 12.1% tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2011, relates to the deferred tax impact on the impairment charge related to our trade names. Deferred tax liabilities related to our trade names are not available to be used to offset deferred tax assets when estimating the valuation allowance. All deferred tax assets created in 2011 were fully reserved with additional valuation allowances. The (0.5%) tax rate for year ended January 1, 2011 results from the difference between the provision recorded as of January 2, 2010, and the actual carry-back filed in 2010. Excluding the effects of these items, our 2012, 2011, and 2010 effective tax rates would have been 40.3%, 38.8% and 35.6%, respectively.

- 53 -

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary difference between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our net deferred tax liability are as follows as of:


	December 29, 2012			December 31, 2011
	(in thousands)
Deferred tax assets:
State and federal net operating loss carryforwards	$	7,332		$	12,741

Accrued warranty		1,381			1,635
Obsolete inventory		508			554
Other accruals		149			549
Allowance for doubtful accounts		288			308
AMT tax credits		479			287
Derivative financial instruments		—			99
Valuation allowance		(12,902	)		(16,289	)

Total deferred tax assets	$	6,282		$	10,573

Deferred tax liabilities:

Amortizable intangible assets		1,551			4,008
Property, plant and equipment		4,724			6,565
Derivative financial instruments		7			—

Total deferred tax liabilities	$	21,186		$	25,564

The amount of goodwill deductible for tax purposes was $63.8 million at the time of the 2004 acquisition, of which, $16.1 million and $21.4 million was unamortized as of December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The following table shows the current and noncurrent deferred tax (liabilities) assets, recorded on our consolidated balance sheets:


	December 29, 2012			December 31, 2011
	(in thousands)
Current deferred tax (liabilities) assets , net	$	(46	)	$	50
Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities, net		(14,858	)		(15,041	)

Total deferred tax liabilities, net	$	(14,904	)	$	(14,991	)

In 2008, we established a valuation allowance with respect to the net deferred tax assets, excluding the $17.3 million deferred tax liability related to trade names. Driven by the goodwill and other intangible impairment charges, our cumulative losses over the fiscal years 2006-2008, in addition to the significant downturn in our primary industry of home construction, led us to conclude that sufficient negative evidence exists that it is deemed more likely than not future taxable income will not be sufficient to realize the related income tax benefits. We also established a valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets created in the years 2009 thru 2012.

As of December 31, 2011, we recognized a $2.3 million deferred tax benefit from the impairment of our trade name. The remaining deferred tax liability related to trade names is $14.9 million as of December 29, 2012.

We estimate that we have $17.5 million of federal net operating loss carry forwards and $44.3 million of state operating loss carryforwards expiring at various dates through 2031.

We have not recognized any material liability for unrecognized tax benefits; however, should we accrue for such liabilities when and if they arise in the future we will recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of our income tax provision. The Internal Revenue Service is currently auditing 2005, 2008, 2009, and 2010. We expect no material adjustments to come from the audit.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

We lease production equipment, vehicles, computer equipment, storage units and office equipment under operating leases expiring at various times through 2016. Lease expense was $1.2 million, $1.7 million, and $2.3 million for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively. Future minimum lease commitments for non-cancelable operating leases are as follows at December 29, 2012 (in thousands):


2013	$	1,291
2014		852
2015		542
2016		493
2017		281

Total	$	3,459

Through the terms of certain of our leases, we have the option to purchase the leased equipment for cash in an amount equal to its then fair market value plus all applicable taxes.

We are obligated to purchase certain raw materials used in the production of our products from certain suppliers pursuant to stocking programs. If these programs were cancelled by us, we would be required to pay $1.7 million for various materials. During the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, we made purchases under these programs totaling $57.0 million, $62.9 million, and $63.0 million, respectively.

At December 29, 2012, we had $1.1 million in standby letters of credit related to our worker’s compensation insurance coverage and commitments to purchase equipment of $0.1 million.

We are a party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate disposition of those proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the outcome of any claim that is pending or threatened, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a materially adverse effect on our operations, financial position or cash flows.

14. Employee Benefit Plans

We have a 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees 18 years of age or older who have at least three months of service. Employees may contribute up to 100% of their annual compensation subject to Internal Revenue Code maximum limitations. We currently make matching contributions based on our operating results. For the year ended December 29, 2012, there was an average matching contribution of 1% made at various times during the year. For the years ended December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, there was no company matching contribution. Company contributions and earnings thereon vest at the rate of 20% per year of service with us when at least 1,000 hours are worked within the Plan year. We recognized expense of $0.5 million for the year ended December 29, 2012, and no expense for the years ended December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011.

15. Related Parties

In the ordinary course of business, we sell windows to Builders FirstSource, Inc., a company controlled by affiliates of JLL Partners, Inc. One of our directors, Floyd F. Sherman, is the president, chief executive officer, and a director of Builders FirstSource, Inc., and another, Brett Milgrim, is also a director. In addition, Paul S. Levy who is affiliated with JLL Partners, Inc. is a director of Builders FirstSource, Inc. Total net sales to Builders FirstSource, Inc. were $4.5 million, $3.7 million and $2.8 million for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively. As of December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, there was $0.6 million and $0.6 million due from Builders FirstSource, Inc. included in accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

16. Shareholders’ Equity

2010 Rights Offering

On November 15, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized and approved a share repurchase program of up to $20 million. Repurchases are funded from existing cash resources and cash generated by the Company’s operating activities. All share repurchases will be made in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18, as applicable, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as to the timing, pricing, and volume of such transactions. The Company acquired 922,694 shares of the Company’s common stock at a cost of $3.9 million. These reacquired shares were placed in treasury. There were 52.8 million shares and 53.7 million shares of common stock outstanding, net of common stock held in treasury, at December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.

17. Employee Stock Based Compensation

Rollover Plan

In conjunction with the acquisition of PGT Holding Company, we rolled over 2.9 million option shares belonging to option holders of the acquired entity. These options have a ten year term and are fully vested, and include exercise prices of either $0.38 or $1.51 per share.

2004 Plan

On January 29, 2004, we adopted the JLL Window Holdings, Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”), whereby stock-based awards may be granted by the Board of Directors (the Board) to officers, key employees, consultants and advisers of ours.

In conjunction with the 2004 Plan we granted option shares at various times in 2004 and 2005 at an exercise price of $8.64 per share. These options have a ten-year life and fully vest after five years. No options or restricted share awards were granted under the 2004 Plan during 2012, 2011, or 2010. There were 1,965,888, 1,965,888 and 1,965,888 shares available for grant under the 2004 Plan at December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively.

2006 Plan

On June 5, 2006, we adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) whereby equity-based awards may be granted by the Board to eligible non-employee directors, selected officers and other employees, advisors and consultants of ours.

- 56 -

On April 6, 2010, our stockholders approved, among other things, three items approved and recommended by our Board of Directors in March 2010 as follows: the PGT, Inc. Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan”); an Equity Exchange; and a stock option exchange to eligible employees (“Issuer Tender Offer”). The Board of Directors of the Company determined that, as a result of economic conditions which adversely affected the Company and the industry in which it competes, the options held by certain employees had exercise prices that were significantly above the current market price of the Company’s common stock and that the grants of replacement options would help retain and provide additional incentive to certain employees and better align their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders.

Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan

The Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan amends the plan to, among other things:

•

increase the number of shares of common stock available for grant there under, from 3,000,000 to 7,000,000,

•

set forth 1,500,000 as the maximum number of shares that may be made subject to awards in any calendar year to any “covered employee” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code), and

•

allow the Company to offer to its employees the opportunity to tender certain outstanding equity awards for cancellation in exchange for the issuance of replacement stock options.

There were 472,035, 1,092,310, and 1,127,310 shares available for grant under the 2006 Plan at December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively.

2010 Equity Exchange

The Equity Exchange offered to exchange certain outstanding equity awards granted under our equity plans to eight employees of the Company, including each of our named executive officers (the “designated employees”), for options to be granted under the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive 2006 Plan with a new term, new vesting schedule, and new exercise price. All eight employees accepted this offer.

The equity awards that the designated employees submitted for cancellation in the Equity Exchange included 621,778 options to purchase common stock with exercise prices that ranged from $3.09 to $8.64, and 314,175 shares of unvested restricted stock. As of April 6, 2010, the options subject to the Equity Exchange had an aggregate value of $0.3 million, calculated using the Black-Scholes Method of option pricing. The total amount of new stock options issued on April 6, 2010, under this exchange was 3,692,433. These options vest over five years with one-fifth vesting on each of the anniversary dates beginning April 6, 2011, and have an exercise price of $2.00, based on the NASDAQ market price of the underlying common stock on the close of business on April 5, 2010. Stock compensation expense for these options is being recorded based on the incremental compensation cost as calculated by the excess of the fair value of modified award over the fair value of the cancelled award immediately before the cancellation and reissue.

2010 Issuer Tender Offer

The Issuer Tender Offer provided an opportunity to exchange certain outstanding equity awards granted under our equity plans to seventeen employees of the Company for options to be granted under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan with a new term, new vesting schedule, and new exercise price. All eligible employees accepted this offer.

The options subject to the Issuer Tender Offer covered an aggregate of 409,143 shares of common stock including shares described in “the Repricing” below, and had an aggregate value of $0.2 million calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The total amount of new stock options issued on April 6, 2010, pursuant to the Issuer Tender Offer was 409,143. These options vest over five years with one-fifth vesting on each of the anniversary dates beginning April 6, 2011, and have an exercise price of $2.00, based on the NASDAQ market price of the underlying common stock on the close of business on April 5, 2010. Stock compensation expense for these options is being recorded based on the incremental compensation cost as calculated by the excess of the fair value of modified award over the fair value of the cancelled award immediately before the cancellation and reissue.

New Issuances

During 2012, we issued 673,390 options to certain directors, executives and non-executive employees of the Company. These options vest at various time periods through 2017 and have a weighted average exercise price of $2.42 based on the NASDAQ market price of the underlying common stock on the close of business on the day the options were granted.

During 2011, we issued 35,000 options to certain non-executive employees of the Company. These options vest at various time periods through 2016 and have a weighted average exercise price of $2.21 based on the NASDAQ market price of the underlying common stock on the close of business on the day the options were granted.

In April 2010, we issued 1,401,376 options to certain directors and non-executive employees of the Company. These options vest at various time periods through April 2015 and have a weighted average exercise price of $1.99 based on the NASDAQ market price of the underlying common stock on the close of business on the day the options were granted.

The compensation cost that was charged against income for stock compensation plans was $1.4 million, $1.8 million, and $2.3 million, respectively, for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. There was no income tax benefit recognized for share-based compensation for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011 as a result of the valuation allowance on deferred taxes. We currently expect to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued.

The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants under the 2006 Plan in the following years:

2012: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 70.38%, risk-free interest rate 0.8 %, and expected life of 5 years.

2011: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 70.74%, risk-free interest rate of 2.2%, and expected life of 5 years.

2010: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 75.0%, risk-free interest rate of 2.7%, and expected life of 5 years.

The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience. The expected volatility is based on the Company’s common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on U.S. Treasury yield for instruments with a maturity equal to the life of the option in effect at the time of grant.

Earnings per share is computed independently for each of the quarters presented; therefore, the sum of the quarterly earnings per share may not equal the annual earnings per share. Each of our fiscal quarters above consists of 13 weeks and ended on the last Saturday of the period.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, we increased revenues by $0.5 million for the reversal of estimated revenues associated with a customer promotion program that ended with rebate redemptions below our estimate. The promotional activity and associated estimated revenue reserves impacted the second, third and fourth, quarters of 2012.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, we increased net sales by $0.3 million for an immaterial error affecting certain prior periods. In addition, in the third quarter of 2011, we increased selling, general and administrative expenses by $0.3 million for an immaterial error affecting certain prior periods. These errors do not have a material impact on the unaudited quarterly financial data.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act as of December 29, 2012. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. These disclosure controls and procedures include, among other things, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible disclosure controls and procedures relative to their costs to implement and maintain.

Based on management’s evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 29, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

a. Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting.

Internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, we started the implementation of our new Enterprise Resource Planning System (“ERP System”). We expect to continue this implementation in phases over the course of the next nine to twelve months. The implementation of this ERP System has effected and will continue to affect our internal controls over financial reporting by, among other things, improving user access security and automating a number of accounting, back office and reporting processes and activities. Management will continue to evaluate the operating effectiveness of related key controls during subsequent periods.

We have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2012. The evaluation was performed using the internal control evaluation framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such evaluation, management concluded that, as of such date, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

b. Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company, as a non-accelerated filer, to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

c. Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This Appendix above includes financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). We believe that presentation of non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provides investors and analysts with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that enables investors and analysts to more thoroughly evaluate our current performance compared to past performance. We also believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with a better baseline for assessing our future earnings potential. The non-GAAP measures included in this appendix are provided to give investors access to types of measures that we use in analyzing our results.

EBITDA consists of GAAP net loss adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. We believe that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and analysts about the company’s performance because they eliminate the effects of period to period changes in taxes, costs associated with capital investments and interest expense. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not give effect to the cash the company must use to service its debt or pay its income taxes and thus do not reflect the funds generated from operations or actually available for capital investments.

Our calculations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to calculations performed by other companies and reported as similarly titled measures. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP measures.

(2)	The Company completed its annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter of 2011, which resulted in additional impairment charges totaling $6.0 million related to trade names.

(3)	Represents the write-down of the value of certain fixed assets of the Company.

(4)

Represents charges and credits related to consolidation actions taken in 2011 and 2010. These charges relate primarily to employee separation costs and move related expenses. Of the $4.1 million in consolidation charges in the year ended December 31, 2011, $3.4 million is included in cost of goods sold and $0.7 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Of the consolidation charges taken in 2010, $0.9 million was recorded in costs of goods sold and $1.2 million was recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses

(5)	Represents gains related to the sale of equipment previously used in North Carolina operations. These gains are included in other income for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.

(6)

Represents temporary excess labor and scrap expense incurred as a result of the consolidation actions taken in 2011. The amounts were determined by comparing the manufacturing results with normalized pre-consolidation results. These charges are included in cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2011.

(7)	Represents the write-off of the remaining unamortized fees associated with our previous financing agreement. These charges are included in other expense for the year ended December 31, 2011.
