REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Audit Committee and 401(k) Benefits

    Administration Committee

NCI 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

We have audited the accompanying Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits of NCI 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2005 and the related Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for the year 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 2005 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2005 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held (at end of year) as of December 31, 2005 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic 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 and fund information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NCI 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2005 and 2004

Note 1: Description of the Plan

The following description of NCI 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions, which is available from the plan administrator.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees of NCI Building Systems, Inc. and its affiliates (the Company) who have completed three months of service, are employed on the first day of the calendar quarter, and are age 18 or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Contributions

Participants may contribute a minimum of 1% up to a maximum of 50% of their annual compensation, limited to the maximum limit determined annually by the Internal Revenue Service. Highly compensated employees may defer only 6% of their annual compensation according to the Plan Document. The Company contributes to the Plan a matching amount equal to 66.67% of the employee’s contribution to the Plan up to 6% of the participant’s eligible compensation. Additional amounts may be contributed depending upon the Company’s annual return on assets. The Company contribution is made in Company stock or cash. Participants direct the investment of their contributions as well as the Company’s contribution into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers a variety of mutual funds, common/collective trust funds, and the NCI Company Stock Fund as investment options for participants.

Employer contributions of stock are valued at fair market value as quoted on the exchange on the match date. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Plan’s sponsor contributed $1,877,604 and $5,578,603, which represented 52,373 and 169,921 shares, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company contributed $4,257,114 in cash contributions. The Company made no cash contributions to the Plan during the year ended December 31, 2004.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the Company’s contribution and plan earnings and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations of expenses are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined in the Plan document. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

NCI 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2005 and 2004

Vesting and Forfeitures

Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s contribution portion of their accounts plus earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. A participant is fully vested after 6 years of continuous service.

A participant becomes fully vested upon death, becoming disabled (as defined in the Plan) or attaining age 65; otherwise, non-vested balance is forfeited upon termination of service. Forfeitures may be used to pay for Plan administrative expenses. Remaining forfeitures are treated as additional discretionary matching contributions for the plan year in which the forfeitures occur and are allocated among active participants based upon the ratio each participant’s deferral percentage bears to the aggregate value of the deferral percentages of all eligible participants. Effective, September 1, 2005, forfeitures remaining after payment of expenses will be used to reduce employer matching contributions. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $77,746 and $190,140, respectively. During 2005 and 2004, employer contributions were reduced by approximately $180,000 and $0, respectively, from forfeited non-vested accounts.

Payment of Benefits

Upon termination of service, a participant may elect to receive a lump-sum amount equal to the vested value of his account, NCI Common Stock for the value of the NCI Stock Fund, or subject to minimum distribution rules described in the Plan, continue in the trust in such a manner as though the employee had not terminated his eligibility (if the participant’s account balance is greater than $5,000, excluding rollover contributions).

Participant Loans

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of $50,000, or 50 percent of their account balance, whichever is less. The loans are secured by the balance in the participants’ account and bear interest at rates that are commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the plan administrator.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed an intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

Reclassifications

Certain items in the 2004 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net assets or the change in net assets.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Distributions to participants are recorded when paid.

Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition

Quoted market prices, if available, are used to value investments. Common/collective trust funds are valued at estimated fair value as provided by Ameriprise Trust Company, (formerly American Express Trust Company). Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The insurance company investment contract is valued at contract value as estimated by Aetna Insurance Company. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus interest at the contract rate, less funds used to pay retirement benefits.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Plan Tax Status

The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on January 14, 2004, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan and related trust, as then designed, were in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore not subject to tax. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the plan administrator believes the Plan and related trust are currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

Payment of Benefits

Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.

NCI 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2005 and 2004

During the years ended 2005 and 2004, the Plan’s investments (including gains and losses on investments bought, sold and held during the year) appreciated in value by $9,250,870 and $17,122,518, respectively, as follows:

 

     2005    2004

Investments at Fair Value Based on Quoted Market Price

     

Common stocks

   $ 4,956,544    $ 12,606,229

Common / collective trust funds

     1,719,775      1,642,574
             

Net appreciation in fair value

   $ 9,250,870    $ 17,122,518
             

Interest and dividends realized on the Plan’s investments for the years ended 2005 and 2004 were $348,545 and $383,602, respectively.

Note 4: Contract with Insurance Company

During 2004, and through January 4, 2005, the Plan was involved in a benefit-responsive investment contract with Aetna Insurance Company (Aetna). Aetna maintains the contributions in a general account. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The contracts are included in the financial statements at contract value as reported to the Plan by Aetna. Contract value represents contributions made under the contracts, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawals or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.

There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The average yield and crediting interest rates ranged from 5.5% to 6.0% for 2005 and 2004. Crediting interest rate is based on agreed-upon formula with the issuer, but cannot be less than 3.5%.

The Plan does not allow participants to make any additional contributions to these investment contracts. As of December 31, 2005, the Plan had no investment contracts.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2005 and 2004

Note 5: Related Party Transactions

The Plan invests in shares of mutual funds managed by Ameriprise Trust Company (formerly American Express Trust Company), which is the trustee and the record keeper of the Plan. Additionally, the plan invests in shares of the Company’s common stock and participant loans. Such transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. These transactions are exempt from the ERISA prohibited transaction rules; thus, these transactions are permitted.

Fees paid by the Plan for these services amounted to $17,749 and $32,563 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Plan incurs expenses related to general administration. The plan sponsor pays these expenses and certain accounting fees relating to the Plan.

Note 6: Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least 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 Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits.
