Forward-Looking Statements

        The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include forward-looking statements about the plans, strategies, objectives, goals, estimates, projections, or expectations of the industry, economics, or the Company itself. Statements, including without limitation, those related to: future revenue, earnings, margins, growth, cash flows, operating measurements, tax rates and tax benefits; expected economic returns; projected operating results or dividend rates; future strength of the Company; future pension costs; future new product sales; future marketing investments; and market risk are forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements are identifiable by words or phrases indicating that Knape & Vogt or its management, “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “forecasts”, “intends,” “is likely,” “projects,” “plans,” “forecasting,” “optimistic,” “confident,” “opinion”, or has “goals,” “objectives,” or “strategies,” that a particular occurrence or event “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” or “will likely” result in the future, that a “trend” is toward a particular result or occurrence, or other stated expectations. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict with respect to timing, extent, and likelihood. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

        Besides risks and uncertainties described in forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2005 and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are several important factors that may cause actual results to materially differ, including our ability to:

• Improve sales growth;

• Increase gross margin;

• Control the price of raw materials;

• Reduce operating costs;

• Maintain/implement foreign sourcing;

• Sell assets classified as held for sale on favorable terms;

• Continue to meet the terms of our debt covenants; and

• Achieve other plans, strategies, objectives, goals, or expectations described in this Quarterly Report.

        Our operating expenses may be affected by unexpected costs associated with, among other factors:

• Future business acquisitions;

• Business and asset divestures;

• Increased transportation or fuel costs;

• Changes in consumer preferences or spending patterns;

• Losses or financial difficulties of customers and suppliers;

• Changes in accounting policies, practices, or estimates;

• Changes in federal, state or local tax laws, regulations, and interpretations.

        Forecasted sales are subject to competition from many sources. Competitive pressures may result in unexpected reductions in sales volumes, product prices or service fees. The future costs for pension benefit costs may be adversely affected by changes in actuarial assumptions and methods, investment return and the group of participants covered. Our marking and merchandising programs may not generate the sales we anticipate. Our asset impairment and exit cost provisions are estimates and actual costs may be more or less than these estimates.

        This section is intended to provide meaningful cautionary statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in the future. New risks emerge from time-to-time, that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. This should not be construed as a complete list of all factors that could adversely affect our expected consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or change forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or other information that we obtain after the date of this Quarterly Report.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Knape & Vogt Manufacturing Company (the “Company” or “KV”), without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Management believes that the disclosures made in this document are adequate so as not to make the information presented misleading. Operating results for the nine-month and three-month periods ended April 1, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 1, 2006. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended July 2, 2005.

Fiscal Year

        The Company utilizes a 52- or 53-week fiscal year, which ends on the Saturday nearest the end of June. The fiscal year ending July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 contain 52 weeks. Both nine-month periods ended on April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005 contained 39 weeks.

Foreign Currency

        The functional currency for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. The accounts of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52. Current assets and liabilities are translated at end of period exchange rates, while long-term assets and liabilities are translated at historical month-end rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in the exchange rates are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, such as those resulting from the settlement of foreign receivables or payables are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign currency exchange net losses were $26,719 and $29,144 for the nine months ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005, respectively. For the three months ended April 1, 2006, foreign currency exchange net losses were $3,521 compared to net gains of $11,185 for the three months ended April 2, 2005.

Revenue Recognition

        The Company records revenue when title to the product and risk of ownership passes to the buyer. Sales are shown net of returns, discounts and any other form of sales incentive, including cooperative advertising, rebates and merchandising displays. In certain circumstances, the Company provides buyback programs and markdown allowances to its customers. These amounts are fixed at the start of the contract period with the customer and accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position No. 93-7, “Reporting on Advertising Costs” and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer”. The cost of these programs are either expensed at the time of the initial shipment of the goods or are expensed on a prorated basis over the sales of the contract, if the Company has a written commitment from the customer.

Stock Based Compensation

        Effective July 3, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Share-Based Payment. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award, with such cost recognized over the applicable vesting period. No options or other share-based payment have been granted this quarter. In addition, all options issued in prior years are vested. Therefore, the Company has incurred no expense for share-based payment during the nine-month period ending April 1, 2006. Prior to July 3, 2005, the Company accounted for its stock option plans in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

Note 2 – New Accounting Standards

        In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (FIN 47). Under the Interpretation, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Any uncertainty about the amount and/or timing of future liability should be factored into the calculation of the liability when sufficient information is available. FIN 47 further clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value. The Company must be in compliance no later than the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005, although early adoption is encouraged. The Company is required to adopt FIN 47 by the end of fiscal 2006 and is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 47 on its consolidated financial statements.

        In March 2006, the FASB issued an Exposure Draft (“ED”), “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”. This ED would amend the FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). The intent of the ED is to require an employer to recognize in its statement of financial position the overfunded or underfunded status of its defined benefit plans and to recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs and credits that arise during the period. The comment deadline on this ED is May 31, 2006, with a planned effective date for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2006. The Company is reviewing the ED and evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Derivative Instrument

        The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to modify a portion of the variable rate revolving line of credit to a fixed rate obligation, thereby reducing the exposure to market rate fluctuations. The interest rate swap agreement is designated as a hedge, and effectiveness is determined by matching the principal balance and terms with that specific obligation. Amounts currently due to or from the interest-rate-swap counter-party are recorded in interest expense in the period in which they accrue. The derivative, which has a notional amount of $20,000,000, was recognized as a liability on the balance sheet at its fair value of $47,844 at April 1, 2006 and $434,763 at July 2, 2005.

        Neither the Company nor the counter-party, which is a major U.S. bank, is required to collateralize its obligation under the swap. The Company is exposed to loss if the counter-party should default. At April 1, 2006, the Company had no exposure to credit loss on the interest rate swap. The Company does not believe that any reasonably likely change in interest rates would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Note 6 – Restructure and Impairment Expenses

During the quarter ended January 1, 2005, the Company recognized asset impairment charges of $115,088 pre-tax and accelerated depreciation of $304,116 pre-tax on certain manufacturing equipment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

        In January 2005, the Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to close its Muncie, Indiana facility and relocate its operations into existing available space in the Grand Rapids, Michigan facility. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company recorded pre-tax impairment charges of $1,663,359, in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, consisting of the write down of the long-lived assets; including real estate, fixed assets and manufacturing equipment located in the Muncie facility to the lower of their carrying values or their estimated fair values, less the disposition costs. The closure of the facility and relocation of the operations was completed in June 2005.

        In addition, the Company incurred certain qualifying exit costs in connection with the closure of the Muncie facility, including severance and the relocation of certain equipment and inventory. All of the charges were recorded in the Manufacturing division of the Company and were expensed as incurred.

        During fiscal 2006, the Company determined certain assets previously classified as assets held for sale would be used in production. Accordingly, the values of these assets were written up by approximately $90,000 to their original net book value and were reclassified from assets held for sale to property, plant, and equipment and depreciated. Additionally, the Company re-listed the building held for sale with a new broker. The new broker re-evaluated the market conditions and reduced the listing price. KV reduced the assets held for sale for the building by approximately $90,000. Management believes that the carrying value of the remaining assets held for sale is representative of the amounts that will be received upon future sale, based upon currently available information.

The following summarizes the restructuring expenses that were incurred and paid for the respective periods shown below. There was no activity for the three months ended April 1, 2006.

	For the Nine Months Ended		For the Three Months Ended

Note 7 – Warranty Disclosure

        The Company provides a limited lifetime warranty on most products sold. Depending on the product and based on historical experience, the lifetime warranty is generally defined in a range of three to fifteen years. The Company does not sell or otherwise issue warranties or warranty extensions as stand alone products. The warranty provides replacement of the product as the resolution for any warranty claims. Reserves have been established for the various costs associated with the Company’s warranty program. General warranty reserves are based on historical claims experience and other currently available information and are periodically adjusted for business levels and other factors. Specific reserves are established if an issue is identified with the amounts for such reserves based on the estimated cost to correct the problem.

Note 9 — Retirement Plans

        The Company has several noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans covering substantially all of its employees. The defined benefit plans provide benefits based on the participants’ years of service. The Company’s funding policy for defined benefit plans is to make annual contributions, which equal or exceed regulatory requirements.

        The Company also has a nonqualified defined benefit supplemental retirement program (“SERP”) for certain designated former officers of the Company and one active executive in Canada which includes death and disability benefits. The plan is funded from the general assets of the Company.

        Effective June 30, 2005, the Company established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain executives. This plan replaced the profit sharing plan contributions for these individuals. This deferred compensation plan is a defined contribution plan and is unfunded.

        The Company has a postretirement health-care plan that covers substantially all employees. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to eliminate all Company contributions to the retiree healthcare plan. This resulted in settlement accounting for the Company’s outstanding obligation. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $1.5 million pre-tax gain in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 associated with this settlement. The Company recorded the settlement gain as a reduction of $1.2 million to cost of sales and $.3 million to operating expenses.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

        The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 provides for a special one-time tax deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are being repatriated (as defined by the Act) to a U.S. taxpayer in either the Company’s last tax year that began before the enactment date or the first tax year that begins during the one-year period beginning on the date of enactment. In order to qualify for the deduction, the earnings must be reinvested in the United States pursuant to a domestic reinvestment plan established by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Certain other criteria in the Act must be satisfied as well. Once a decision is reached to remit the earnings, the impact must be recorded in the period in which the decision is made.

        On May 10, 2005, the IRS and Treasury issued guidance concerning the calculation of tax on a distribution under Section 965 of the Internal Revenue Code. Based on this guidance, the Company expects to repatriate approximately $6 million of undistributed foreign earnings under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which is expected to result in related income tax expense of approximately $340,000 and is reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company has not provided for federal income taxes on the remaining undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. Recording of deferred income taxes on these undistributed earnings is not required, because these earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of additional taxes in the event that the foreign subsidiaries earnings are distributed.

Note 11 – Segment Information

        The Company manages the business and reviews financial information by market channels. Management has limited its review of the channels to net sales to external customers and operating profit before administrative costs as shown below. In accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, only those measures prepared on an ongoing basis and reviewed by the chief operating decision maker are disclosed.

        The Business Products division is comprised of two market channels: OEM and Idea. The OEM market channel sells precision drawer slides, hardware and ergonomic products to original equipment office furniture manufacturers. The Idea market channel sells ergonomic products to independent office furniture dealers. These dealers purchase product from office furniture manufacturers and re-sell the furniture along with design and installation services to the end customer.

        The Home & Commercial Products division is comprised of two market channels: consumer and distribution/other. The consumer market channel sells a majority of the Company’s product lines to retailers. The distribution/other market channel sells many of the Company’s product lines to kitchen and bath OEM manufacturers and full line woodworking distributors.

        The Manufacturing division manufactures or sources all products and sells them to the four market channels. The selling price to the market channels is equal to the standard cost of the product. Manufacturing cost variances from standard result in an operating profit or loss for the Manufacturing division.

        The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 12 – Legal Contingencies

        Two pending legal matters are described in Note 15 – Legal Contingencies in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        The Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (“CCRA”) had performed an audit of KV’s sales to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Knape & Vogt Canada. The CCRA had questioned whether it was appropriate to consider Knape & Vogt Canada as the importer of record for all Knape & Vogt goods shipped into Canada. The Company defended its position that it was appropriate for Knape & Vogt Canada to be the importer of record. In February 2006, the Company received a decision from the Canada Border Services Agency that it had determined that Knape & Vogt Canada was a valid purchaser for purposes of subsection 48(1) of the Customs Act and subsection 2.1(b) of the Valuation for Duty Regulations.

        In the February 2006 notice, the Canada Border Services Agency stated that it would perform a review of the transfer price between KV and Knape & Vogt Canada. KV has provided the Agency with the transfer price studies that have been performed and believes that review will not result in any changes that would have a material adverse effect on KV’s earnings.

        During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, a competitor filed a suit in the U.S. District Court of the Central District of California alleging that the Company infringes two of the competitor’s U.S. patents. The competitor was seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. The Company received an opinion from its outside patent counsel that the Company’s products do not infringe the competitor’s patents. The Company denied any liability. However, in an effort to resolve this matter, the Company agreed to a settlement with the plaintiff. The settlement includes an amount payable for past sales of the product and a royalty of 5% on all future sales of this product until the product is redesigned.

        KV is also subject to other legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of business.

        In the opinion of management, based on the information presently known and taking into account established accruals of approximately $372,000 at April 1, 2006, the ultimate liability for these matters will not have a material adverse effect on KV’s financial position or the results of its operations.

Note 13 – Potential Transaction

        The Company announced on October 13, 2005, that it had retained the investment-banking firm W.Y. Campbell & Company to act as a financial advisor in evaluating strategic alternatives, including a possible sale.

        On February 10, 2006, the Company issued a joint press release with Wind Point Partners announcing the execution of a Merger Agreement. Consummation of the Merger was subject to the satisfactory completion of the Wind Point due diligence process, Wind Point Partners’ ability to secure adequate financing commitments from its lenders, approval by Knape & Vogt’s shareholders and approval from any appropriate governmental agency.

        On April 5, 2006, the Company issued a press release announcing that Wind Point Partners had completed its due diligence process.

        On April 13, 2006, the Company filed a draft of its proxy statement concerning its shareholders meeting to approve the merger with the Securities and Exchange Commission for review and if applicable, comment. On this same date, Wind Point Partners’ acknowledged that they had been successful in securing adequate financing commitments with their lenders.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

        Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were $41.9 million compared to $40.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 were $123.6 million compared to $116.0 million for the same period in the prior year. In total, the Company had new product sales of $8.0 million and $24.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended April 1, 2006. This compared to new product sales of $7.6 million and $22.9 million for the same periods respectively in fiscal 2005. New product introductions have allowed the Company to expand its product offering and successfully target new markets, including the automotive industry and the medical field. The Company consistently defines new product sales, including product extensions, as those products sold within a three-year period from the date of introduction.

        The Distribution and Other segment net sales were $18.4 million for the third quarter and $55.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006, compared with $18.6 million and $53.9 million, respectively for the same periods in the prior year. Orders and shipments were strong in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 as the distribution customers purchased sufficient quantities to earn their calendar year rebates. As a result, orders and shipments to these customers were slightly lower in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. As the Company enters its fourth fiscal quarter, order activity is also increasing from this key market. On a year to date basis, the growth resulted primarily from the addition of several new products. These include the Virtu™ line of upscale kitchen, bath, and closet accessories, several new wood and wire storage accessory products and the expanded line of precision ball bearing drawer slides, including the Precision Built™ family of slides.

        The Consumer segment net sales were $9.5 million for the third quarter and $24.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006, compared with $9.0 million and $24.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The Company continues to focus on improving the profitability of this segment. The revenue growth during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 is the result of new products and development of successful programs with existing customers.

        The Business Products Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) segment net sales of $12.3 million for the third quarter and $37.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 represented growth of 16.6% and 19.5%, respectively, over the same periods in the prior year. The Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers’ Association (BIFMA) results for the eight months ended February 2006, reported increased shipments of 10.3% for the industry compared to the same period in the prior year. The Company’s success in sales growth to the Business Product OEM’s was attributable to the addition of new products, in particular the addition of a number of customer specific versions of KV’s precision ball bearing slides and several new ergonomic accessory products, including the updated line of height adjustable tables. Further, sales have grown as a result of the addition of new customers in both existing markets and in new markets to the Company, such as the automotive industry.

        The Business Products Idea segment net sales were $1.9 million for the third quarter and $6.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006. Net sales decreased 12.5% for the third quarter and 5.7% for the nine months ended April 1, 2006. Late in fiscal 2005, management began converting to a direct sales force to call on the customers served in this market. While this change created some disruption in the segment, management believes it is now better positioned for future sales growth. There are a number of new products in this channel and utilizing a direct sales force will promote sales growth in this important channel of the business. These products include the ProLiftix™ line of height adjustable tables, the Polaris™ lever free adjustable keyboard system and the Proxi™ line of office organization tools.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)

        The Company offers a consignment inventory program for certain customers. Under this program, the customers are not invoiced for product until the Company receives notice that the customer has utilized the inventory at their location. At April 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, the inventory program totaled $2.9 million and $3.5 million at cost, respectively.

Gross Profit

        Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 19.9% for the third quarter and 20.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to 19.3% and 18.5%, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The improvement in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared with the third quarter of the prior year represented cost savings resulting from the consolidation of the wire operation, which was partially offset by the start up costs associated with the plant in Vietnam. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, KV recorded a gain of $1.2 million pre-tax in cost of sales for the settlement of its retiree health plan. See note 9 for more information on the settlement. Excluding this gain, gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 19.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2006. Year-to-date fiscal 2006 gross profit increased due to lower steel costs and reduced costs as a result of the consolidation of the wire operations. This was partially offset by higher labor costs incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, due to certain drawer slides being manufactured in the United States instead of being sourced from overseas and the continued integration of wire production into the Grand Rapids facility.

        Asian producers of both utility and precision drawer slides continue to pose a competitive threat, particularly from a pricing perspective. In response, KV has established solid vendor relationships with three key producers of these slides in Asia and has been utilizing product sourced from these manufacturers to successfully address pricing pressures. In addition, KV is establishing its own manufacturing entity in Vietnam. It has received the business license for this entity, leased a facility, purchased manufacturing equipment, and anticipates the startup of production during calendar 2006. The total initial investment is anticipated to be approximately $1.0 million. Management believes that utilizing these low-cost production resources will help KV remain competitive in the U.S. marketplace and will allow it to improve the profitability and competitiveness of its OEM market.

        To date, all of the slides produced in Asia have represented incremental sales to KV and have not reduced volume being produced in the United States. KV’s domestic production capabilities are being focused on manufacturing new, more complex products, which typically represent higher margin products.

Operating Expenses

        Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 13.5% for the third quarter and 13.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to 14.0% and 16.2%, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 included approximately .5% of costs associated with the potential sale of the Company. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, KV recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $324,000 in operating expense for the settlement of its retiree health plan. See note 9 for more information on the settlement. Excluding this gain, operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 13.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2006. KV continues to be successful in leveraging its operating expense as sales increase, while still having sufficient spending to ensure its ongoing ability to develop and introduce new products to the market and have the appropriate advertising materials available to introduce those products.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)

Restructuring and Impairment Expenses

        During the quarter ended January 1, 2005, the Company recognized asset impairment charges of $115,088 pre-tax and accelerated depreciation of $304,116 pre-tax on certain manufacturing equipment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

        In January 2005, the Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to close its Muncie, Indiana facility and relocate its operations into existing available space in the Grand Rapids, Michigan facility. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company recorded pre-tax impairment charges of $1,663,359, in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, consisting of the write down of the long-lived assets; including real estate, fixed assets and manufacturing equipment located in the Muncie facility to the lower of their carrying values or their estimated fair values, less the disposition costs. The closure of the facility and relocation of the operations was completed in June 2005.

        In addition, the Company incurred certain qualifying exit costs in connection with the closure of the Muncie facility, including severance and the relocation of certain equipment and inventory. All of the charges were recorded in the Manufacturing division of the Company and were expensed as incurred.

        During fiscal 2006, the Company determined certain assets previously classified as assets held for sale would be used in production. Accordingly, the values of these assets were written up by approximately $90,000 to their original net book value and were reclassified from assets held for sale to property, plant, and equipment and depreciated. Additionally, the Company re-listed the building held for sale with a new broker. The new broker re-evaluated the market conditions and reduced the listing price. KV reduced the assets held for sale for the building by approximately $90,000. Management believes that the carrying value of the remaining assets held for sale is representative of the amounts that will be received upon future sale, based upon currently available information.

Interest and Other Expenses, net

        Interest expense has remained relatively stable at $402,499 and $1.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended April 1, 2006, compared to $411,560 and $1.2 million for the same periods in the prior year, respectively.

        Other income was $45,177 for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $38,828 for the same quarter in the prior year. For the first nine months of fiscal 2006, other income was $204,119 compared to income of $116,607 for the same period in the prior year. The other income for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 reflects interest received on previously filed amended tax returns and investments in Canada. The other income shown in the prior year reflects a legal settlement received in connection with one of the Company’s patents, along with favorable exchange rate gains.

Income Taxes

        The effective tax rate was 40.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and 36.2% for the first nine months of fiscal 2006. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company received a final settlement of certain Federal and provincial audits performed in Canada and recognized $221,000 in refunds. During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company incurred losses in Vietnam related to the startup of its new facility, which were not tax affected. The Vietnamese facility will benefit from a four-year tax holiday starting with its first profitable year.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)

        On May 10, 2005, the IRS and Treasury issued guidance concerning the calculation of tax on a distribution under Section 965 of the Internal Revenue Code. Based on this guidance, the Company expects to repatriate approximately $6 million of undistributed foreign earnings under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which is expected to result in related income tax expense of approximately $340,000 and is reflected in the Company’s financial statements. This additional income tax expense was offset by the true-up of federal permanent items and state income taxes to the prior year income tax returns filed in March 2006.

        The effective tax rate was 36.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and 40.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 2005, excluding the one-time benefit of $594,000 related to the expiration of certain tax statutory periods and the related reversal of tax contingencies and the amended filings for research credits. The higher effective rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 was due to the impairment loss related to the relocation of the wire operations that resulted in state income taxes being owed by the Company on a book basis loss that is not expected to be realized for state tax purposes.

Net Income

        Net income was $1.4 million or $0.31 per diluted share for third quarter of fiscal 2006 and $5.1 million or $1.12 per diluted share for the nine months ended April 1, 2006. This compared to net income of $1.7 million or $0.37 per diluted share for the third quarter of the prior year and $1.6 million or $0.35 per diluted share for the first nine months of the prior year. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to eliminate all Company contributions to its retiree health plan. This resulted in settlement accounting for the Company’s outstanding obligation. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $952,000 after-tax in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 associated with this settlement. In the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recognized $594,000 of one-time tax benefits. In addition during the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recognized impairment charges and additional depreciation of approximately $1.3 million after-tax related to the relocation of the Company’s wire production. The Company’s sales volume growth, improved gross profits and better leveraging of operating expenses, were the primary contributors to the net income improvement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was $6.9 million compared to $5.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. Higher net income in fiscal 2006 was offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense, the decrease in retirement plan liability and lower accounts payable. Remaining working capital requirements were relatively constant between the two periods.

        Cash used for investing activities was $2.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006, compared to $2.1 million used in the same period in the prior year. Capital expenditures totaled $2.2 million for the nine months ended April 1, 2006, compared to $2.1 million for the first nine months of the prior year. The capital expenditures for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 represented investments in tooling for new products and the set up of the Vietnam facility.

        There were capital expenditure commitments of approximately $729,639 for new product tooling and Asian production equipment at April 1, 2006. Capital expenditures for the fiscal year are anticipated to be approximately $3.0 million. The investments will be focused on bringing new products and product improvements to our customers, along with our investment in Asia.

        Cash used for financing activities was $1.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 as compared to $2.2 million in fiscal 2005. The expenditures represent the Company’s dividend payments to its shareholders.

        Anticipated cash flows from operations and available balances on the revolving credit line are expected to be adequate to fund working capital, and capital expenditures for the next year and the foreseeable future.

Legal Proceedings

        Two pending legal matters are described in Note 15 – Legal Contingencies in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        The Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (“CCRA”) had performed an audit of KV’s sales to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Knape & Vogt Canada. The CCRA had questioned whether it was appropriate to consider Knape & Vogt Canada as the importer of record for all Knape & Vogt goods shipped into Canada. The Company defended its position that it was appropriate for Knape & Vogt Canada to be the importer of record. In February 2006, the Company received a decision from the Canada Border Services Agency that it had determined that Knape & Vogt Canada was a valid purchaser for purposes of subsection 48(1) of the Customs Act and subsection 2.1(b) of the Valuation for Duty Regulations.

        In the February 2006 notice, the Canada Border Services Agency stated that it would perform a review of the transfer price between KV and Knape & Vogt Canada. KV has provided the Agency with the transfer price studies that have been performed and believes that review will not result in any changes that would have a material adverse effect on KV’s earnings.

        During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, a competitor filed a suit in the U.S. District Court of the Central District of California alleging that the Company infringes two of the competitor’s U.S. patents. The competitor was seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. The Company received an opinion from its outside patent counsel that the Company’s products do not infringe the competitor’s patents. The Company denied any liability. However, in an effort to resolve this matter, the Company agreed to a settlement with the plaintiff. The settlement includes an amount payable for past sales of the product and a royalty of 5% on all future sales of this product until the product is redesigned.

        KV is also subject to other legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of business.

        In the opinion of management, based on the information presently known and taking into account established accruals of approximately $372,000 at April 1, 2006, the ultimate liability for these matters will not have a material adverse effect on KV’s financial position or the results of its operations.

New Accounting Standards

        See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

        This discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of its operations is based upon its consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, long-lived assets, income taxes, self-insurance reserves, retirement benefits and contingencies and litigation. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors that they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Based on management’s ongoing review, adjustments are made that are considered appropriate under the facts and circumstances. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the same critical accounting policies discussed in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Trends and Developments

        The Company announced on October 13, 2005, that it had retained the investment-banking firm W.Y. Campbell & Company to act as a financial advisor in evaluating strategic alternatives, including a possible sale.

        On February 10, 2006, the Company issued a joint press release with Wind Point Partners announcing the execution of a Merger Agreement. Consummation of the Merger was subject to the satisfactory completion of the Wind Point due diligence process, Wind Point Partners’ ability to secure adequate financing commitments from its lenders, approval by Knape & Vogt’s shareholders and approval from any appropriate governmental agency.

        On April 5, 2006, the Company issued a press release announcing that Wind Point Partners had completed its due diligence process.

        On April 13, 2006, the Company filed a draft of its proxy statement concerning its shareholder meeting to approve the merger with the Securities and Exchange Commission for review and if applicable, comment. On this same date, Wind Point Partners’ acknowledged that they had been successful in securing adequate financing commitments with their lenders.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risks, which include changes in the Canadian dollar and the Vietnamese Dong foreign currency exchange rates as measured against the U.S. dollar and changes in U.S. interest rates. The Company holds a derivative instrument in the form of an interest rate swap, which is viewed as a risk management tool and is not used for trading or speculative purposes. The intent of the interest rate swap is to effectively fix the interest rate on part of the borrowings under the Company’s variable rate revolving credit agreement. The derivative was recognized as a liability on the balance sheet at its fair value of $47,844 at April 1, 2006 and $434,763 at July 2, 2005.

        The following table provides information on the Company’s fixed maturity investments as of April 1, 2006 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table also presents the corresponding interest rate swap on this debt. Since the interest rate swap effectively fixes the interest rate on the notional amount of debt, changes in interest rates have no current effect on the interest expense recorded by the Company on the portion of the debt covered by the interest rate swap.

        The Company has a sales office located in Canada. Sales are typically denominated in Canadian dollars, thereby creating exposures to changes in exchange rates. The changes in the Canadian/U.S. exchange rate may positively or negatively affect the Company’s sales, gross margins and retained earnings. The Company attempts to minimize currency exposure through working capital management.

        The Company is in the process of establishing a manufacturing facility in Vietnam. Purchasing and selling activities of this entity will be denominated in the Vietnamese Dong, which will create exchange rate exposure.

        The Company does not hedge its exposure to translation gains and losses relating to foreign currency.
