Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our cash cycle will continue to be impacted in the future based on our mix of sales by market. Sales to the site-built construction and industrial markets require a greater investment in working capital (inventory and accounts receivable) than our sales to the DIY/retail and manufactured housing markets.
 
Management expects to spend $40 million on capital expenditures in 2007 and incur depreciation and amortization of intangible assets of approximately $46 million. Besides “maintenance” capital expenditures totaling approximately $35 million, we currently plan to spend an additional $5 million to expand the business. On December 30, 2006, we had outstanding purchase commitments on capital projects of approximately $6.1 million.
 
We have no present intention to change our dividend policy, which is currently $0.055 per share paid semi-annually.
 
Our Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program under which we have authorization to buy back approximately 1.5 million shares as of December 30, 2006. In the past, we have repurchased shares in order to offset the effect of issuances resulting from our employee benefit plans and at times when our stock price falls to a pre-determined level.

Universal Forest Products, Inc.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

We are obligated to pay amounts due on long-term debt totaling approximately $0.7 million in 2007.
 
On February 12, 2007, we amended and increased the size of our unsecured revolving credit facility to $300 million, which includes amounts reserved for letters of credit. The facility is also used to fund seasonal working capital requirements and growth, including acquisitions. We believe our peak seasonal working capital requirements may consume up to $100 million of this availability through June of 2007 and then decrease for the balance of the year in line with historical trends. We plan to finance our capital requirements for the year through operating cash flows, the use of our sale of receivables program, and use of our revolving credit facility.
 
On February 12, 2007, one of our subsidiaries acquired all of the common shares of Aljoma Lumber, Inc. located in Medley, FL, a leading manufacturer of pressure-treated wood and industrial products that serves Southern Florida and the Caribbean islands. The purchase price of the common shares of Aljoma was approximately $53.5 million.
