Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Plan Administrator
Universal Forest Products, Inc. Employees’ Profit Sharing and
            401(k) Retirement Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of Universal Forest Products, Inc. Employees’ Profit Sharing and 401(k) Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’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 from material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’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 assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in its assets available for benefits for the years ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2006, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Universal Forest Products, Inc. Employees’ Profit Sharing and 401(k) Retirement Plan (the Plan) are presented on the accrual method of accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Although actual results could differ from these estimates, management believes estimated amounts recorded are reasonable and appropriate.
New Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP). The FSP defines the circumstances in which an investment contract is considered fully benefit responsive and provides certain reporting and disclosure requirements for fully benefit responsive investment contracts in defined contribution health and welfare and pension plans. The financial statement presentation and disclosure provisions of the FSP are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods ending after December 15, 2006 and are required to be applied retroactively to all prior periods presented for comparative purposes. The Plan has adopted the provisions of the FSP at December 31, 2006.
As required by the FSP, investments in the accompanying Statements of Assets Available for Benefits include fully benefit responsive investment contracts recognized at fair value. AICPA Statement of Position 94-4-1, Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans, as amended, requires fully benefit responsive investment contracts to be reported at fair value in the Plan’s Statement of Assets Available for Benefits with a corresponding adjustment to reflect these investments at contract value. The requirements of the FSP have been applied retroactively to the Statement of Assets Available for Benefit as of December 31, 2005, presented for comparative purposes. Adoption of the FSP had no effect on the Statement of Changes in Assets Available for Benefits for any period presented.

Investments
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. The fair value of mutual funds is based on quoted market values on the last day of the plan year. The fair value of participation units owned in common trust funds is based on quoted redemption values on the last day of the plan year, except the Morley Stable Value Fund, for which the fair value is calculated by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations. The participant loans are stated at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.
The Universal Forest Products Stock Fund (the Fund) is tracked on a unitized basis. The Fund consists of Universal Forest Products, Inc. common stock and the funds that are held in the Morley Stable Value Fund sufficient to meet the Fund’s daily cash needs. Unitizing the Fund allows for daily trades. The value of a unit reflects the combined market value of the Universal Forest Products, Inc. common stock and the Morley Stable Value Fund held by the Fund. At December 31, 2006, 1,075,481 units were outstanding with a value of $45.98 per unit (at December 31, 2005, 1,173,186 units were outstanding with a value of $54.32 per unit).
Investment transactions are recorded as of the settlement dates. The change in the difference between the fair value and the cost of investments held is combined with realized gains and losses on sales of investments and reported in the statements of changes in assets available for benefits as net realized and unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of investments. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments represent the difference between the proceeds received and the original cost of investments sold.
The Plan utilizes various investment instruments. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of assets available for benefits.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses incurred in connection with the operations of the Plan are paid by Universal Forest Products, Inc. (the Company), except for loan and certain investment fees, which are paid out of participants’ accounts.

Reclassification
Certain amounts previously reported in 2005 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in 2006.
2. Description of the Plan
The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement, as amended, for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
The Plan is a defined-contribution, profit sharing and 401(k) plan that provides tax-deferred benefits for substantially all eligible employees of the Company, excluding the employees of separate subsidiaries that maintain a similar defined-contribution plan and those covered under a collective bargaining agreement. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Eligible employees are those who are 18 years or older and have completed 1,000 hours of employment (year of service) during the 12-month period following date of employment or, where additional periods are necessary, on succeeding Plan year-end dates. All newly eligible employees on and after July 1, 2006 are automatically enrolled in the Plan at a deferral level of 3% of eligible compensation.
Participants may voluntarily contribute up to 75% (25% prior to January 1, 2006) of their eligible compensation as a 401(k) contribution subject to certain regulatory limitations. Participant contributions to the Plan vest immediately.
The Company contributes regular discretionary matching contributions, and may contribute additional discretionary matching contributions. Regular discretionary matching contributions are made quarterly and were 50% of participant deferrals; limited to 6% of each participant’s compensation in 2005 and 2006. Additional discretionary matching contributions are made at the end of each Plan year. These amounts are not guaranteed, and may vary from year to year as the Company is not obligated to make such contributions.

2. Description of the Plan (continued)
The Company may also contribute a discretionary profit sharing amount annually as determined by management and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s annual profit sharing contributions are allocated to each participant’s account in the same ratio that each participant’s total compensation for the Plan year bears to the total compensation of all participants for such year.
Employer contributions are subject to a six-year vesting schedule as follows:
     
Years of Service   Vesting Percentage
 
Less than 2
        0%
2 but less than 3
  20
3 but less than 4
  40
4 but less than 5
  60
5 but less than 6
  80
6 or more
  100  
The vested portion of terminated and retired participants’ accounts are available for distribution following a separation from service. Effective January 1, 2006, all forfeitures are used to offset the Company’s matching contributions. Prior to January 1, 2006 forfeitures were reallocated to participants on a percentage of income basis.
Participants may select from various investment options made available by the Plan. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, an allocation of the Company’s net contribution, if any, Plan earnings and losses, certain administrative expenses and forfeitures. Earnings allocations are based on account balances, as defined.
Participants may borrow from their account a minimum amount of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to 25 years for the purchase of a residence. The loans bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate (8.25% at December 31, 2006) plus 2% calculated on a daily basis. A participant may only have five loans outstanding at any time and one new loan for every 12-month period.
The plan sponsor intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to terminate or amend the Plan at any time. In the event of termination of the Plan, all participants are automatically 100% vested in the value of their accounts and will be paid in full.

Subsequent to this determination by the Internal Revenue Service, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan sponsor has indicated that it will take the necessary steps, if any, to bring the Plan’s operations into compliance with the Code.
