Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
          of Operations

Results of Operations - First Quarter 2001 Compared to First Quarter 2000

Net sales decreased $756,000 or 1.3% for the three-month period ended February
28, 2001, from the comparable 2000 period. Unit volume in the 2001 period
approximated the year ago period but average selling prices declined as the
Company became more aggressive in discounting its products in response to the
slower business environment.

Gross profit margin declined to 24.3% in the 2001 period compared to 25.1% for
the three-month period ended February 29, 2000, principally due to heavier
promotional discounting in the current year period. During the first quarter of
2001, the Company cut production schedules at all of its factories to 35 hours
per week in order to reduce inventories and better match the incoming order
rate. The Company reduced inventory levels by $3.8 million during the three
months since November 30, 2000, while improving delivery times to customers. The
Company expects to continue reducing inventory levels during the second quarter
as well.

Selling and administrative expenses increased $379,000 to $9.5 million during
the first quarter ended February 28, 2001 from the comparable 2000 period.
During the 2001 period, the Company incurred higher depreciation expense for new
technology placed in service last year, additional expenses related to the
addition of 14,000 square feet to its High Point, NC showroom space that will
debut at the upcoming April 2001 international furniture market, and higher
advertising costs. These cost increases were partially offset by cost reductions
in other areas of the business. As a percentage of net sales, selling and
administrative expenses increased to 16.9% in the 2001 period from 16.0% in the
comparable 2000 period.

As a result of the above, operating income decreased to 7.4% of net sales in the
2001 period from 9.1% in the comparable 2000 period.

The Company's effective tax rate was 38.0% in both first quarter periods.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of February 28, 2001, assets totaled $128.9 million, down from $133.5 million
at November 30, 2000. Stockholders' equity at February 28, 2001, was $77.9
million, rising from $75.6 million at November 30, 2000. The Company's long-term
debt, including current maturities, was $29.5 million at February 28, 2001 and
November 30, 2000. Working capital increased to $61.7 million as of February 28,
2001 from $60.7 million at the end of the 2000 period, reflecting the Company's
improved cash position and lower levels of accounts payable and accrued
expenses. Incoming orders slowed slightly during the first quarter as furniture
retailers felt the impact of unstable financial markets and declining consumer
confidence. The Company expects shipments during the fiscal second quarter of
2001 to approximate or reflect a slight decline from the strong second quarter
experienced in 2000, but remains guardedly optimistic about improved business
prospects for the second half of the year. Production schedules are expected to
remain at 35 hours per week through April 2001. The Company will evaluate the
need for further reduced work schedules prior to the end of April, but does not
expect work schedules to fall below 35 hours per week.

During the three-month period ended February 28, 2001, cash generated from
operations ($3.9 million) funded capital expenditures ($2.6 million), an
increase in available cash ($778,000), and dividend payments ($549,000). During
the comparable 2000 period, cash generated from operations ($276,000) and
borrowings from the Company's revolving credit line ($5.5 million) funded

capital expenditures ($3.8 million), an increase in available cash ($1.4
million) and dividend payments ($648,000).

Cash generated from operations of $3.9 million during the 2001 period increased
from $276,000 in the comparable 2000 period. Higher levels of cash received from
customers ($3.3 million), resulting in lower trade receivables, and lower
payments to suppliers and employees ($1.3 million) resulting from reduced
production schedules and lower inventory levels were partially offset by higher
tax and interest payments (increases of $573,000 and $311,000, respectively) in
the 2001 period compared with the prior year quarter.

Investing activities consumed $2.6 million during the 2001 period compared to
$3.8 million in the comparable 2000 period. Capital expenditures were higher in
the 2000 period as the Company completed the addition to its Central
Distribution Center and continued its construction of raw lumber grading,
storage and drying facilities at the Maiden, North Carolina plant.

The Company used cash of $526,000 (principally dividend payments) for financing
activities in the 2001 period compared to generating cash of $4.9 million from
financing activities in the 2000 period. During the 2000 period, the Company
borrowed $5.5 million from its revolving line of credit to fund capital
expenditures ($3.8 million), dividend payments ($648,000) and an increase in
available cash ($1.4 million). In December 2000, the Company declared a
quarterly dividend of $.085 per share that was paid in February 2001.

At February 28, 2001, the Company had $9.3 million available under its revolving
line of credit (net of $206,000 of outstanding letters of credit) and $6.1
million of availability under additional lines of credit to fund working capital
needs.  The Company believes it has the financial resources needed to meet
business requirements in the foreseeable future, including capital expenditures
for the expansion of manufacturing capacity, working capital requirements, and
the Company's dividend program.

subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements.  Such risks and

Item 3.    Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company's obligations under its lines of credit, industrial revenue bonds,
and term loan bear interest at variable rates.  The Company has entered into
interest rate swap agreements that, in effect, fix the rate of interest on the
industrial revenue bonds at 4.71% through 2006 and on the term loan at 7.4%
through 2010.  At February 28, 2001, the Company had $500,000 outstanding under
its lines of credit.  A 10% fluctuation in market interest rates would not have
a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
