4.       Stock Option Plan

The Company maintains a stock option plan under which holders of certain
exercisable stock options may obtain interest-bearing loans from the Company to
facilitate their exercise of stock options. Such loans are evidenced by
promissory notes and are collateralized by the shares of stock. As of September
29, 2001, approximately $2.7 million in stock option loans are outstanding.

5.       Unusual Charge

In the second quarter, the Company recorded an unusual charge net of taxes of
$1.8 million ($2.8 million pre-tax) or $.26 per diluted share to write-off the
entire receivable due from Homelife, the Company's largest customer. On July 16,
2001, Homelife announced closure of its stores and filed for protection under
Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. Historically, sales to Homelife have
accounted for approximately 7% of total sales.

6.       Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average shares
outstanding. Outstanding stock options are treated as common stock equivalents
for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings
per share are calculated using the following share data (unaudited):

Net sales decreased $11.4 million, or 16.0%, for the three month period ended
September 29, 2001 from the comparable 2000 period. For the nine month period,
net sales decreased $36.6 million, or 17.0%, from the comparable 2000 period.
The decrease was due primarily to lower unit volume in the Company's collections
offering (bedroom, dining room, tables and entertainment units). An unusual
charge of $2.8 million pre-tax was recorded in the second quarter of 2001 to
write-off the receivable due from the Company's former largest customer that
filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and has
pursued a complete liquidation of its assets. The elimination of shipments to
this customer, which historically accounted for about 7% of total sales, reduced
net sales for both the three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2001.
The Company expects a slight improvement in sales comparisons for the fourth
quarter of 2001, resulting in a sales decline on a percentage basis in the mid
to upper single digits compared to the fourth quarter of 2000. In response to
order trends the Company reduced production during 2001 through selective
downtime at its facilities. As a result, total inventories approximate year end
levels and declined $3.6 million from the second quarter of 2001. The Company
will continue to monitor order trends to manage inventory levels until business
conditions improve.

Gross profit margin for the three and nine month periods of 2001 decreased to
23.0% and 23.2%, respectively, from 24.5% for each of the comparable 2000
periods. The decrease resulted primarily from lower sales and production in the
three and nine month periods of 2001. Start-up costs associated with the new
home office factory, which began production in March 2000, reduced gross profit
in the prior year periods. Improved performance from this facility partially
offset the impact of lower sales and production levels in the three and nine
month periods of 2001.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding the second quarter
unusual charge, for the three and nine month periods of 2001 as a percentage of
net sales increased to 13.1% and 12.8%, respectively, from 11.8% for each of the
comparable 2000 periods. These percentages were higher due principally to lower
net sales. Selling, general and administrative expenditures declined $573,000
and $2.6 million, respectively, in the three and nine month periods of 2001
primarily as a result of lower selling expenses directly attributable to the
decrease in sales.

As a result of the above, operating income, excluding the second quarter unusual
charge, as a percentage of net sales was 9.9% and 10.4%, respectively, for the
three and nine month periods of 2001, compared to 12.7% for each of the
comparable 2000 periods.

Interest expense for the 2001 three and nine month periods approximated prior
year periods as higher average debt levels were offset by lower average interest
rates.

The Company's effective income tax rate was 35.6% for the 2001 nine month period
and 37.0% for total year 2000. The lower tax rate for 2001 is a result of
increased state tax credits.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash generated from operations increased to $10.0 million in the first nine
months of 2001 compared to $6.5 million in the 2000 period due primarily to
lower tax payments resulting from lower taxable income levels. Working capital
increased only $2.5 million in the 2001 period compared to an increase of $15.6
million in the comparable 2000 period.

Net cash used by investing activities was $3.9 million in the 2001 period
compared to $7.7 million in the 2000 period. Cash requirements were higher in
the 2000 period due to capital expenditures related to a new manufacturing
facility. Included in the 2000 capital expenditures on the Statements of Cash
Flows was $2.7 million of 1999 capital purchases included in accounts payable at
December 31, 1999 and $5.0 million of capital purchases in the 2000 period.
These purchases were primarily for plant and equipment and other assets in the
normal course of business. Capital expenditures in 2001 are anticipated to be
approximately $4.5 million.

Net cash used by financing activities was $6.0 million in the 2001 period
compared to $77,000 in the 2000 period. In the 2001 period, cash from operations
and proceeds from the issuance of $10.0 million in senior notes provided cash
for reduction of borrowings under the revolving credit facility, senior debt
payments, capital expenditures and purchase and retirement of the Company's
common stock. In the 2000 period, cash from operations and borrowings under the
revolving credit facility provided cash for the purchase and retirement of the
Company's common stock, capital expenditures and senior debt payments. During
the nine months ended September 29, 2001, the Company purchased 86,000 shares of
its stock on the open market at an average price of $22.94. At September 29,
2001, approximately $8.0 million remains authorized by the Company's Board of
Directors to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock.

In April 2001, the Company issued $10.0 million of 6.94% senior notes due in
2011. At September 29, 2001, long-term debt including current maturities was
$46.9 million. Debt service requirements are $1.4 million in 2001, $6.8 million
in 2002, $6.9 million in 2003, $7.0 million in 2004 and $4.3 million in 2005. As
of September 29, 2001, approximately $24.7 million of additional borrowings were
available under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company believes
that its financial resources are adequate to support its capital needs and debt
service requirements.

Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

Recently the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141 "Business
Combinations" and SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which are
required to be adopted by the Company at the beginning of 2002. SFAS No. 141
requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations subsequent to June 30, 2000. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill
and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but
instead be tested for impairment at least annually. The Company believes the
effect of SFAS No. 142 will be to increase earnings per share by approximately
$.03 for fiscal 2002.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this report are not based on historical facts, but
are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will,"
"should," or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon
or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. These statements
reflect the Company's reasonable judgment with respect to future events and are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and
uncertainties include the cyclical nature of the furniture industry,
fluctuations in the price for lumber which is the most significant raw material
used by the Company, credit exposure to customers in the current economic
climate, competition in the furniture industry, capital costs, and general
economic conditions. Any forward looking statement speaks only as of the date of
this filing, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new developments or
otherwise.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Because the Company's obligation under its Revolving Credit Facility bears
interest at a variable rate, the Company is sensitive to changes in prevailing
interest rates. A one-percentage point fluctuation in market interest rates
would not have a material impact on earnings during the first nine months of
2001.
