PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

American Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen
cabinets and vanities for the remodeling and new home construction
markets. American Woodmark was formed in 1980 by the four
principal managers of the Boise Cascade Cabinet Division through a
leveraged buyout of that division. American Woodmark was operated
privately until 1986 when it became a public company through a
registered public offering of our common stock.

American Woodmark currently offers framed stock cabinets in
approximately 150 different cabinet lines, ranging in price from
relatively inexpensive to medium-priced styles. Styles vary by
design and color from natural wood finishes to low-pressure
laminate surfaces. The product offering of stock cabinets includes
approximately 50 door designs in seven colors. Stock cabinets
consist of a common box with standard interior components and an
oak, cherry, maple or hickory front frame. In May of 2000 the
Company announced the discontinuation of our custom line of
cabinets in order to allow for focus on revenue growth in our core
product lines.

Products are sold under the brand names of American Woodmark(R),
Thomasville Cabinetry(TM), Timberlake(R), and Shenandoah
Cabinetry(R).

American Woodmark's products are sold on a national basis across
the United States through three primary market channels:
independent dealer/ distributors, home centers and major builders.
We distribute our products to each market channel directly from
our four assembly plants and through a logistics network
consisting of nine service centers located in key areas throughout
the United States.

The primary raw materials we use include oak, maple, cherry and
hickory lumber. Additional raw materials include paint,
particleboard, manufactured components and hardware. We currently
purchase paint from one supplier; however, other sources are
available. Our other raw materials are purchased from more than
one source and are readily available.

American Woodmark operates in a highly fragmented industry that is
composed of several thousand local, regional and national
manufacturers. Our principal means for competition rely on our
breadth and variety of product offering, expanded service
capabilities and affordable quality. We believe that no other
company in the industry has more than a 20% share of the market.
We also believe that American Woodmark is one of the five largest
manufacturers of kitchen cabinets in the United States.

American Woodmark's business has historically been subjected to
seasonal influences, with higher sales typically realized in the
second and fourth fiscal quarters. General economic

2
forces and changes in our customer mix have reduced seasonal
fluctuations in our revenue over the past few years.

During the last fiscal year, American Woodmark had two
customers, The Home Depot and Lowe's Companies, Inc., which
each accounted for more than 10% of our sales. The loss of
either would have a material adverse effect on American
Woodmark.

As of April 30, 2001, we had 3,866 employees. Approximately
24% of our employees are represented by labor unions. We
believe that our employee relations are good.

Item 2. PROPERTIES

We lease our Corporate Office which is located in Winchester,
Virginia. In addition, we lease one and own ten manufacturing
facilities located primarily in the eastern United States. We
also lease nine service centers and three office centers
located throughout the United States that support the sale and
distribution of products to each market channel.

Primary properties include:
