`Part I.

Item 1.  BUSINESS
              Preliminary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
         The information set forth in "Item 1. Business," in "Item 8.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," and in the other portions of this report includes forward-looking
statements about the Corporation and its business. For this purpose, the use of
words such as "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that
realistically could cause results to differ materially from those projected in
the forward-looking statements include the cyclical and seasonal nature of the
furniture market; the availability and cost of raw materials and labor;
availability, terms and deployment of capital; events that disrupt the flow of
goods from off-shore manufacturing sources; merchandising decisions by one or
more of the Company's major customers that adversely affect their purchases of
the Company's furniture products; changes in fashion or tastes; general
conditions in the economy or capital markets; demographic changes; competition;
and other factors identified in "Item 1. Business," in "Item 8. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and
in other portions of this report.

(a) General Development of Business.
    --------------------------------

         The operations of the Company during the past three years consisted of
the manufacture, import, and sale of low and medium-priced residential, home
office, and commercial office furniture.


(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments.
    ----------------------------------------------

         The Company's continuing operations as shown in its Selected Financial
Data (See Item 6) for the five years ended August 28, 1999, consist of one
industry segment -- the manufacture, import, and sale of furniture.


(c) Narrative Description of the Business.
    --------------------------------------

         The Company manufactures, imports, and sells low and medium-priced
bedroom furniture, dining furniture, occasional and accent furniture, home
office and commercial office furniture, conference tables, and chairs.

         The Company's furniture products are marketed throughout the United
States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, and Saudi Arabia, principally to
furniture retailers. Export sales totaled approximately 3% of the Company's
sales in fiscal 1999. Approximately 10% of the Company's sales are accounted for
by sale to wholesale distributors. The Company's sales are made through
independent, commissioned sales representatives, as well as sales and marketing
personnel employed by the Company. The Company maintains showrooms for furniture
markets in High Point, North Carolina. The Company also participates in the
annual NeoCon commercial office furniture tradeshow in Chicago, Illinois.


                                       I-1


                                                                          Page 3



         The raw materials which are essential to the domestic manufacture of
furniture are wood, board products, fabric, finishing materials, hardware and
glass. There are a number of sources of supply for wood, board products and
fabric. Approximately 42% of these materials are purchased from independent
suppliers, and the balance of these materials are obtained by the Company by
processing purchased logs and lumber through the Company's saw mill and
dimension plant, by cutting various types of board and drawer body parts, and
manufacturing high pressure laminated tops for its office furniture. If, for any
reason, the Company's existing sources of supply for any of its raw materials
became unable to service the Company, the Company believes its furniture
manufacturing operations would not be adversely affected because there are
adequate alternate sources of supply. Loss of any one or several sources of
supply would not have a material adverse effect on the Company as ample
alternative sources exist.

         Approximately 50% of the Company's total sales are of imported product.
The Company sources these products from various factories in Asia and Mexico,
both through agents and direct, based primarily on Company developed designs.
The Company maintains a showroom, production office, and quality control
organization in China. An unanticipated interruption in the flow of products
from one or more of these factories could have a short-term material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations.

                  The Company owns or uses the following trademarks in
connection with its furniture products, which trademarks are due to expire on
the dates indicated below:


                                                                  Expiration

         It is not common in the furniture industry to obtain a patent for a
furniture design. If a particular design of a furniture manufacturer is well
accepted in the marketplace, it is common for other manufacturers to imitate the
same design without recourse by the furniture manufacturer who initially
introduced the design. The Company often engages independent designers to work
in conjunction with its own personnel in designing furniture products.

         The Company's sales have historically not been subject to material
seasonal fluctuations. However, as the Company's seasonal promotions of imported
furniture increase, the sales may be more subject to quarterly fluctuations. See
Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

                                       I-2


                                                                          Page 4



         It is the furniture industry's and the Company's practice to grant
extended payment terms from time to time to promote sales of products. From time
to time, the Company extends payment terms by 30 to 60 days in an attempt to
stimulate sales of its products. The frequency of the special payment terms
depends upon general business conditions, but generally extended terms are
offered only once or twice per year and then only on certain products. These
special payment terms have not had, nor are they expected to have in the future,
any material impact on the Company's liquidity.

         The Company's six largest customers accounted for approximately 49% of
the Company's total sales in fiscal 1999. One customer, Sam's Club division of
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total net
sales for fiscal 1999. The loss of one or more of these customers at the same
time could have a materially adverse effect on the business of the Company. As
of August 28, 1999, one customer accounted for approximately 25% of total
accounts receivable. The Company's customers include large furniture chain store
retailers, wholesale clubs, catalog retailers, and independent distributors, as
well as numerous smaller retailers.

         The furniture industry is extremely competitive. The Company competes
in the national market for low to upper medium-priced furniture. Due to the
fragmented nature of the furniture manufacturing industry and the unavailability
of complete financial reports for all its competitors, the Company is unable to
accurately state its rank in the industry. There are, however, a large number of
furniture manufacturers with substantially greater sales and greater economic
resources than the Company, a number of which are subsidiaries or divisions of
large national companies. The principal methods of competition in the furniture
industry are design, pricing, sales force, customer service, and manufacturing
location.

         The Company believes it is a leading producer and marketer of popular
priced "promotional" bedroom furniture, home office furniture, and wood office
furniture.

         The Company employs approximately 443 employees, of whom approximately
189 are covered by collective bargaining contracts. The Company presently does
not anticipate a strike or work stoppage at any of its facilities. However, it
cannot be assumed that labor difficulties will not be encountered in the future.


Item 2.  PROPERTIES.

         The Company's principal offices are located in 10,336 square feet of
leased office space in Louisville, Kentucky.

         The Company owns three operating furniture manufacturing plants located
in: Huntingburg, Indiana (78,910 square feet, and 100,000 square feet); and
Ferdinand, Indiana (117,823 square feet); a saw mill and a dimension parts plant
located in Ferdinand, Indiana; and a fabrication plant in Huntingburg, Indiana
(98,000 square feet).

         In addition, the Company owns a 235,000 square foot warehouse located
in Huntingburg, Indiana.

                                                                          Page 5



         The Company completed construction during fiscal 1998 of a 100,000
square foot warehouse in Huntingburg, Indiana on its existing property. The main
purpose of this new building is warehousing and distribution of the Company's
various product lines.

         The Company has announced plans to close its Ferdinand, Indiana
furniture manufacturing plant during fiscal 2000. See Note 12 to the financial
statements for additional information.

         All of the Company's properties are encumbered by mortgages held by its
bank. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

         The productive capacity and extent of utilization of each of the
Company's manufacturing facilities for the fiscal year ended August 28, 1999 are
set forth in the table below. "Productive capacity" is defined for this purpose
as gross sales dollars produced both for outside sales and internal integration,
working fifty hours per week on a single shift with the existing number of
employees and no material investments in machinery and equipment or change in
product mix. The Company has on occasion operated more than one shift at one of
its plants and may add shifts to other plants in the future to increase
capacity.

Item 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the normal
course of business, including several environmental matters. The Company
presently retains a reserve of approximately $41,000 against potential
environmental liabilities. In management's opinion, these lawsuits are not
material to the results of operations or financial position of the Company, or
are adequately covered by insurance.



Item 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

         No matters were submitted during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year
which required a vote of security holders.

(c)  Dividend History

         No dividends have been paid on the Registrant's Common Stock since its
issuance on November 11, 1977.

(d)   Dividend Policy

         Payment of dividends will be within the discretion of the Company's
Board of Directors and will depend, among other factors, on earnings, capital
requirements and the operating and financial condition of the Company. At the
present time, the Company's anticipated capital requirements are such that it
intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings in order to finance the
development of its business and the retirement of its debt. In addition, the
Company's present financing agreement with Bank One, Indiana, N.A. prohibits the
payment of dividends on common stock without the written consent of the bank.

Item 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

              FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company has a $26,800,000 credit agreement with Bank One,
Indianapolis, N.A. comprised of a $5,300,000 term loan, a $1,500,000 term loan,
and a maximum revolving master note loan commitment of $20,000,000 (outstanding
balance $17,250,000 as of August 28, 1999). In addition, through February 28,
2000, to finance seasonal levels of accounts receivable and inventory, the
Company has an additional $3,000,000 commitment under the revolving master loan
note. On August 28, 1999, the Company had $2,328,000 additional borrowings
available under the formula for calculating its available borrowings. See Note 2
to the consolidated financial statements.

         Demands for funds relate to payments for raw materials and other
operating costs, resale merchandise, debt obligations, and capital expenditures.
The Company's ability to generate cash adequate to meet short and long-term
needs results from the collection of accounts receivable and from its ability to
borrow funds. The Company's days of sales outstanding of accounts receivable
averaged 57 days for fiscal 1999 and 53 days for fiscal 1998. This increase was
primarily the result of general soft conditions in the commercial office
category. Inventory turnover was 3.7 in fiscal 1999 and 3.5 in fiscal 1998. The
Company believes it will be able to generate enough cash in fiscal 2000 from
operations together with available borrowings under its revolving master note to
make scheduled payments on its long term debt.

         On August 28, 1998 the Company retired its Series C Preferred Stock. Of
the 1,995,050 Series C shares outstanding, 1,557,593 shares were redeemed for
$3.00 per share by the Company as stated in its Certificate of Incorporation,
and 437,457 Series C shares were converted into 722,762 common shares at the
option of the holders. The redeeming shareholders were paid a final dividend of
$75,319 on the date of redemption. The redemption of the 1,557,593 Series C
shares resulted in a $1,666,000 charge to income applicable to common stock
because the $3.00 redemption price exceeded the par value of the Series C stock
of $2.00, and the Company recognized approximately $109,000 in transaction
costs. The redemption was funded through term bank debt and cash. This
transaction resulted in a substantial anti-dilutive effect on earnings per
common share in future periods.

         During fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998, the Company used cash flows for
operations of $4,093,000 and $1,211,000 respectively, primarily to finance
finished goods inventories for its new divisions and new commercial office
groups as well as to finance increased accounts receivables from substantially
increased sales. During fiscal 1997, the Company provided cash

                                                                          Page 9



flows from operations of $23,000 from net income of $2.4 million offset
primarily by funds used to finance inventories of expanding office and home
office furniture lines as well as to finance seasonal inventories of wood at the
Sawmill to minimize spot purchase premiums during the fall and winter months. In
addition, cash was used to finance accounts receivable resulting from the sales
increase during the fourth quarter.

          Cash flows of $385,000 were used for investing activities during
fiscal 1999 primarily for plant and equipment modernization expenditures. Cash
flows of $2,233,000 were used for investing activities during fiscal 1998
primarily to build the new warehousing and distribution facility as well as to
finish a capital project at the Company's sawmill and dimension plant. Investing
activities used $858,000 during fiscal 1997 primarily to finance capital
expenditures, in particular the building addition at the Dimension Plant to
accommodate the lumber yield optimization equipment, to finance the sales
automation hardware and software, and to finance ongoing plant modernization.
Funds used for these expenditures were partially offset by $193,000 in proceeds
from the sale of certain environmental permits.

         Net cash flows from financing activities of $4,171,000 for fiscal 1999
were used primarily to finance the previously mentioned current assets. Net cash
flows from financing activities of $4,025,000 for fiscal 1998 were used to
finance the previously mentioned current assets and capital expenditures as well
as to retire the Series C Preferred Stock. Financing activities during fiscal
1997 of $1,250,000 were provided primarily by the revolving line of credit.

         The Company does not believe any events are probable which would
materially change its present liquidity position, which is adequate to satisfy
known demands for funds for operations and to pay bank and other debt.

         The Company's fiscal 2000 budget for capital expenditures is
approximately $547,000. The Company anticipates that its 2000 internal cash flow
and additional borrowings available under its credit agreement will be
sufficient to pay for these expenditures.

         The Company is currently subject to claims under federal and state
environmental laws based on allegations that the Company had hazardous
substances disposed of at three waste disposal sites. Due to the limited nature
of the Company's involvement in these environmental proceedings, the
availability of certain defenses, and the involvement of many other parties with
substantial financial resources in the proceedings, the Company does not
anticipate, based on currently available information, that potential
environmental liabilities arising from these proceedings are likely to exceed
the amount of the Company's reserve by an amount that would have a material
effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows. Expenses for the year to date were not material. See "Item 3. Legal
Proceedings" and Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

         The Company does not believe any events are probable which would
materially change its present liquidity position, which is adequate to satisfy
known demands for funds for operations and to pay bank and other debt.

         The Company has received certifications or representations from the
vendors of its critical hardware, system software, and application software that
those products are Year 2000

                                      II-4


                                                                         Page 10



ready. The Company employs IBM AS400 hardware, IBM OS400 operating system, and
MAPICS manufacturing and production information control system for the large
majority of its system needs, all of which was subject to the above mentioned
certifications. The Company has tested this hardware and software and found its
Year 2000 readiness to be as certified. The Company has determined that its
manufacturing machinery and equipment and telecommunications equipment is Year
2000 compliant. The Company has not incurred any material costs in its Year 2000
readiness plans nor does it anticipate any material costs in the future. The
Company has received representations or certifications from its largest
suppliers representing that they are Year 2000 compliant. In the event that any
of the Company's larger suppliers are not Year 2000 compliant, the Company
believes that a sufficient number of alternative sources exist to allow the
Company to meet its raw material needs. The Company has received representations
from customers representing approximately 50% of its annual sales that those
customers are Year 2000 compliant. These customers are also referenced in Note
11 as representing 51% of the Company's sales for fiscal 1998. A majority of the
customers that utilize electronic data interchange to transact business with the
Company have represented that they are or will be Year 2000 compliant. The
Company has received representations from its primary depository and lender bank
that they are Year 2000 compliant. Even given best efforts and execution of the
aforementioned planning and testing, disruptions and unexpected business
problems, that are out of the control of the Company, may occur as a result of
the Year 2000 issue and could have a negative impact on the Company's operating
results, liquidity, and financial position.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net sales for fiscal 1999 increased by $15,646,000 or approximately 24%
over fiscal 1998. This increase was primarily volume driven and was the result
of increased home office sales and sales by the Company's new Wynwood and
Homestyles divisions. The sales changes were as follows: Home office increased
approximately 36%; Wynwood and Homestyles together accounted for approximately
18% of the sales increase; promotional bedroom sales decreased by approximately
8%; and commercial office sales decreased by approximately 5%. Net sales for
fiscal 1998 increased by $8,293,000 or approximately 15% over fiscal 1997. This
increase was primarily volume driven and was the result of increased home office
sales and sales by the Company's new Wynwood division. The sales changes were as
follows: Home office, Wynwood, and other residential furniture sales excluding
promotional bedroom increased by approximately 65%; promotional bedroom sales
decreased by approximately 9%; and commercial office sales were approximately
the same as the previous year.

         As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 80.2% of sales for fiscal
1999, 77.7% of sales for fiscal 1998, and 76.6% of sales for fiscal 1997. The
increases in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in fiscal 1999 and fiscal
1998 were primarily a result of lower utilization of the Company's production
facilities and a lower margin product sales mix.

         As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses
were 14.6% of sales for fiscal 1999, 15.9% of sales for fiscal 1998, and 15.3%
of sales for fiscal 1997. The decrease in fiscal 1999 as a percent of sales is
primarily the result of the fixed nature of a majority of these expenses
relative to the substantial sales increase. The slight increase in fiscal 1998
was primarily due to the sales and marketing related expenses of the Company's
new

                                                                         Page 11



Wynwood and Homestyles divisions.

         During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 management committed to
permanently close its Ferdinand, Indiana furniture manufacturing plant during
fiscal 2000. This closing will reduce the underutilized manufacturing capacity
of the Company. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $600,000
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 related to this closing. The charge
included book provisions of approximately: $240,000 related to the recording of
property, plant, and equipment at net realizable value; $100,000 for recording
certain inventory items at net realizable value; $85,000 for a pension
curtailment loss; $105,000 for severance pay; and approximately $70,000 for
costs to be incurred after operations cease that are associated with the closing
as well as future occupancy related costs. The severance pay, which is called
for by company policy, is related to the termination of certain salaried and
support staff personnel. Net current assets and liabilites associated with this
plant as of August 28, 1999 are immaterial to the financial position of the
company. The carrying amount of net long-term assets to be disposed of as of
August 28, 1999 is approximately $500,000 and management's expectations are that
such assets shold be disposed of within the next twelve months.

         Net interest expense increased to $1,766,000 in fiscal 1999 from
$1,060,000 in fiscal 1998 primarily due to higher loan balances to support the
increased accounts receivable and inventory balances, and to finance the
preferred stock retirement. (See Note 5) Net interest expense increased to
$1,060,000 in fiscal 1998 from $1,005,000 in fiscal 1997 primarily due to higher
loan balances to support the increased accounts receivable and inventory
balances.

         Gain On Disposal Of Property, Plant and Equipment - During fiscal 1997
the Company sold certain State of Pennsylvania environmental permits for
approximately $192,000 which had no carrying value.

                              EFFECTS OF INFLATION
         Inflation affects the Company's business principally in the form of
cost increases for material and wages. Management has attempted to cover
increased costs by increasing sales prices to the extent permitted by
competition. Historically, the Company has not been able to raise sales prices
enough so as to offset all increased costs during all past years. The Company
believes that its competitors also have not been able to raise their prices so
as to offset all increased costs and therefore does not feel that the Company
has incurred any material adverse effect on its competitive position. The
Company believes that it has been able to minimize the effects of general
inflation in the past by improving its manufacturing and purchasing efficiency
and increasing its employee productivity. There can be no assurance that
inflation will not have a material effect on the Company's business in the
future.

           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company's primary market risk exposure with regard to financial
instruments is changes in interest rates. At August 28, 1999, a hypothetical 100
basis points increase in short term interest rates would result in a reduction
of approximately $189,000 in annual pretax earnings. This estimate assumes no
change in the volume or composition of debt at August 28, 1999. The Company has
effectively fixed the interest on approximately $8 million of its long term debt
through the use of interest rate swaps, and the above estimated earnings
reduction takes these swaps into account. The fair market value of these swaps
is immaterial. (See Note 1)

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To DMI Furniture, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DMI Furniture,
Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiary as of August 28, 1999 and August
29, 1998 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 28, 1999.
These consolidated financial statements and the schedule referred to below are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DMI Furniture, Inc.
and subsidiary as of August 28, 1999 and August 29, 1998, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended August 28, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the Index To
Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedules is presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits 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.

DMI FURNITURE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    THE COMPANY - The consolidated financial statements include DMI Furniture,
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, DMI Management, Inc. (DMI or Company). All
significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. DMI
Furniture, Inc. operates in one industry - the Company manufactures, imports,
and sells residential, home office, and commercial office furniture. The Company
has more than one operating segment which are aggregated into one reportable
segment, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.
131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Its
principal distribution channels are multi-market furniture retailers,
distributors, independent retailers, catalogers, and warehouse clubs located
primarily throughout the United States. The Company's fiscal year consists of a
fifty-two week period ending on the last Saturday in August. Approximately every
seven years the Company's fiscal year consists of fifty-three weeks. The fiscal
years presented in this report all consist of fifty-two weeks.

     INVENTORIES - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out method) or market.

    DEPRECIATION - Depreciation is provided on the basis of estimated useful
lives of the property, plant and equipment, using the straight-line method. The
useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows: Building and
leasehold improvements, 8-35 years; and machinery and equipment, 3-13 years.

    INCOME TAXES - The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities
based upon the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
(See Note 8 for additional information).

    EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE - Earnings per common share are based on the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during the period (1999 - 4,383,000; 1998 - 4,214,781; 1997 - 6,006,353), and
assumes the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock. (See
Note 15 for additional information)

    CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS - For purposes of the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows the Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less at the date of
purchase to be cash equivalents.

   ADVERTISING - The Company expenses advertising-type costs as incurred.
Advertising expense was approximately $1,906,000, $1,211,000 and $857,000 in
fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 respectively.

    ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that

                                       F-8
                                                                        Page 21



affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

    LONG-LIVED ASSETS - In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of"
(SFAS No. 121). This standard establishes accounting standards for evaluating
the potential impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles
and goodwill. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 and the application of the standard has not resulted in
an impairment loss.

   REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company recognizes sales of its products when the
products are shipped to customers.

  IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - In June 1998, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company expects to adopt the new
Statement effective September 3, 2000. The Statement will require the Company to
recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company does
not anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will have a significant
effect on its results of operations or financial position.

     In 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This standard establishes
rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. The
provisions of SFAS No. 130 are reflected in the Company's financial statements.

                                                                                 ===========     ===========

         With respect to the term notes and revolving loan above, the Company
has the option of borrowing based on prime rate + .25% or London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR) + 2.50%. As of August 28, 1999, $16 million of the revolver
note balance and $4.8 million of the term loans were LIBOR priced.

         Substantially all assets are pledged to collateralize long-term debt.
On August 28, 1999, the Company had $2,328,000 additional borrowings available
under the formula for calculating its available borrowings.

         With respect to the Economic Development Revenue Bonds (Bonds), the
Company has the option to establish the Bonds' interest rate form (variable or
fixed interest rate). When the Bonds are in the variable rate form, or at the
end of a fixed interest rate period, the Bondholders reserve the right to demand
payment on the Bonds. In the event that any of the Bondholders exercise their
rights, a remarketing agent is responsible for remarketing the Bonds on a best
efforts basis for not less than the outstanding principal and accrued interest.
In the event the Bonds are not able to be remarketed the lender is committed to
providing financing for up to 372 days. The letters of credit expire in 2000
unless earlier extended by the bank. As a result of these bank commitments, the
Bonds are classified as long-term debt in the accompanying balance sheet.

         The aggregate maturities of long-term debt and capital leases for the
next five fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:

         2000                                     $ 1,509,000
         2001                                      18,750,000

          The Company's bank financing agreement contains restrictive covenants
that require the Company, among other things, to maintain a fixed charge ratio,
tangible net worth, and ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA, all as defined in
the bank financing agreement. The Company's failure to meet a covenant as of
August 28, 1999 was waived by and reset for future periods by the Company's
bank. The financing agreement further restricts the Company from, among other
things, without prior written consent, redeeming or purchasing any of its
outstanding capital stock; acquiring, merging or consolidating with any other
business; paying dividends; and, acquiring capital assets in excess of the
annual depreciation.

3.  LEASE COMMITMENTS

         The Company leases certain of its facilities and equipment under
operating leases. The leases generally require the Company to pay taxes,
insurance, maintenance and utilities. Some of the leases contain renewal
options.



         Future minimum lease payments at August 28, 1999 under these leases are
as follows:

         2000                                      $1,013,000
         2001                                         831,000
         2002                                         591,000
         2003                                         115,000
         2004                                               -
                                                   ----------
         Total minimum payments                    $2,550,000
                                                   ==========


         Rent expense under operating leases charged to operations during fiscal
years 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $844,000, $785,000 and $594,000, respectively.

4.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Company is currently subject to claims under federal and state
environmental laws based on allegations that the Company had hazardous
substances disposed of at three waste disposal sites. After depositing $57,000
in a trust fund under the terms of a tentative settlement of claims arising from
one site and paying its portion of preliminary investigation and remediation
costs at the other two sites, the Company retains a reserve of approximately
$41,000 against potential environmental liabilities. Due to the limited nature
of the Company's involvement in these environmental proceedings, the
availability of certain defenses, and the involvement of many other parties with
substantial financial resources in the proceedings, the Company does not
anticipate, based on currently available information, that potential
environmental liabilities arising from these proceedings are likely to exceed
the amount of the Company's reserve by an amount that would have a material
effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows. Expenses for the year to date were not material.

         The Company has entered into individual employment agreements with
certain of its officers which expire at various times through August 31, 2000.
Certain of these agreements provide for lump sum payments in the event
employment is terminated as a result of a change in

                                      F-11
                                                                        Page 24



ownership of the Company as defined in the agreements.

5.  CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

         On August 28, 1998 the Company retired its Series C Preferred Stock. Of
the 1,995,050 Series C shares outstanding, 1,557,593 shares were redeemed for
$3.00 per share by the Company as stated in its Certificate of Incorporation,
and 437,457 Series C shares were converted into 722,762 common shares at the
option of the holders. The redeeming shareholders were paid a final dividend of
$75,319 on the date of redemption. The redemption of the 1,557,593 Series C
shares caused a $1,666,000 charge to income applicable to common stock because
the $3.00 redemption price exceeded the par value of the Series C stock of
$2.00, and the Company recognized approximately $109,000 in transaction costs.
The redemption was funded through term bank debt and cash. There were $399,010
of preferred dividends accrued in fiscal 1997 of which $374,576 were paid in
fiscal 1998.

6.  STOCK OPTIONS

         The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued To Employees" (APB 25) and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of option valuation
models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under
APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options
equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recognized.

         Had compensation cost for all option grants to employees and directors
been determined consistent with FASB Statement No. 123, the Company's net income
and earnings per share would have been affected as follows. Because the method
of accounting required by SFAS No. 123 has not been applied to options granted
prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be
representative of that to be expected in future years.

(1) Net income applicable to common stock was used to compute fiscal 1998
diluted earnings per common share. See Note 5 for additional information.

         Stock options granted prior to February 22, 1994 were granted pursuant
to the Amended Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan approved by stockholders
February, 1989. In February, 1994 the stockholders approved the 1993 Long Term
Incentive Stock Plan For Employees under which the Company is authorized to
issue options to selected key employees to acquire a maximum of 600,000 shares
of its common stock in addition to option shares outstanding at the time of its
adoption. The option price cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of

Non-Qualified Stock Options. Options vest at the cumulative rate of 33%, 67%,

         Exercise  prices for options outstanding as of August 28, 1999
ranged from $1.38 to  $3.63. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of
those options is 4.8 years.

         Included in the above are non-qualified options for 366,724 shares of
common stock for $1.38 to $2.50 per share to certain employees/directors which
have a total option price of approximately $652,000. The options are immediately
exercisable for up to ten years after the date of grant.

         The Company has a stock option plan under which the Company is
authorized to issue options to non-employee directors to acquire a maximum of
160,000 shares of its common stock for options granted prior to March 15, 1998.
A new plan was adopted effective March 15, 1998 authorizing the Company to issue
options to non-employee directors to acquire a maximum of 100,000 shares of its
common stock. The option price is the closing bid price for shares on NASDAQ on

         Exercise prices for options outstanding as of August 28, 1999 ranged
from $1.19 to $4.00. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of those
options is 5.5 years.

         The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in fiscal 1999, 1998, and 1997: expected volatility
of 41.7 percent; risk-free interest rate of 4.62 percent; expected lives for
options of 10 years; and expected dividend yield of 0 percent based on the
Company's history of no dividend payments on common stock.

7.  PENSION PLANS

         The Company has a defined benefit pension plan which covers
substantially all hourly employees. Pension costs charged to operations were
approximately $142,000 in fiscal 1999, $116,000 in fiscal 1998, and $142,000 in
fiscal 1997. Retirement benefits are based on years of credited service
multiplied by a dollar amount negotiated under collective bargaining agreements.
The Company's policy is to fund normal costs and amortization of prior service
costs at a level which is equal to or greater than the minimum required under

          A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that
some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Management believes
the existing net deductible temporary differences will reverse during the
periods in which the Company generates net taxable income. Based on this belief
and the Company's historical and current pre-tax earnings as well as its
expectations for the future, management believes it is more likely than not that
the

                                                                        Page 29



Company will realize its deferred tax assets. As a result, no valuation
allowance was required as of August 28, 1999 and August 29, 1998. Further,
except for the effects of the reversal of net deductible temporary differences,
the Company is not currently aware of any factors that would cause significant
differences between taxable income and pre-tax book income in future years.

(1)  Diluted earnings per common share was calculated by dividing net income by
     the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
     outstanding during the period. (Except in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998
     in which the loss on redemption of preferred stock was deducted from net
     income in the computation). (See Notes 1,5, and 15). Diluted earnings per
     share are computed independently for each of the quarters presented.
     Therefore, the sum of the quarterly per common share information may not
     equal the annual diluted earnings per common share.

11. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SOURCES OF SUPPLY
         The Company's six largest customers accounted for approximately 49% of
the Company's total sales in fiscal 1999. One customer, Sam's Club division of
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total net
sales for fiscal 1999. . Six customers accounted for 51% of sales in fiscal 1998
and six customers accounted for 42% of sales in fiscal 1997. The loss of one or
more of these customers at the same time could have a materially adverse effect
on the business of the Company. As of August 28, 1999, one customer accounted
for approximately 25% of total accounts receivable. The Company's customers
include large furniture chain store retailers, wholesale clubs, catalog
retailers, and independent distributors, as well as numerous smaller retailers.

         Approximately 50% of the Company's total sales are of imported product.
The Company sources these products from various factories in Asia and Mexico,
both through agents and direct, based primarily on Company developed designs.
The Company maintains a showroom, production office, and quality control
organization in China. An unanticipated interruption in the flow of products
from one or more of these factories could have a short-term material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations.

12.   PLANT CLOSING
         The Company permanently closed its Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
manufacturing plant and warehouse facilities and consolidated the production and
distribution activities of those operations into its Huntingburg, Indiana
facilities during the second quarter of fiscal 1996. During fiscal 1997 it was
determined that the remaining $119,000 of the book provision related to the
initial recording of property, plant and equipment at net realizable value was
not needed.

         During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 management committed to
permanently close its Ferdinand, Indiana furniture manufacturing plant during
fiscal 2000. This closing will reduce the underutilized manufacturing capacity
of the Company. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $600,000
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 related to this closing. The charge
included book provisions of approximately: $240,000 related to the recording of
property, plant, and equipment at net realizable value; $100,000 for recording
certain inventory items at net realizable value; $85,000 for a pension
curtailment loss; $105,000 for severance pay; and approximately $70,000 for
costs to be incurred after operations cease that are associated with the closing
as well as future occupancy related costs. The severance pay, which is called
for by company policy, is related to the termination of certain salaried and
support staff personnel. Net current assets and liabilities associated with this
plant as of August 28, 1999 are immaterial to the financial position of the
company. The carrying amount of net long-term assets to be disposed of as of
August 28, 1999 is approximately $500,000 and management's expectations are that
such assets should be disposed of within the next twelve months.

13.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
         The book values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable and
trade payables are considered to be representative of their respective fair
values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial
instruments. The fair value of the Company's debt instruments approximated the
book value because a substantial portion of the underlying instruments are
variable rate notes which reprice frequently. (See Note 1)

         The Company as of August 28, 1999 has approximately $8 million in
interest rate swaps, which are used to reduce the risk of interest rate
movements for a portion of its long term debt.

                                                                        Page 32


The market value of the swaps is immaterial.

14.  SOURCE AND SUPPLY OF LABOR

         The Company employs approximately 443 employees, of whom approximately
189 are covered by collective bargaining contracts.

15.  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

         In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS
No. 128"). This standard modifies disclosure requirements for companies required
to report earnings per share ("EPS") to include presentations of Basic EPS
(which includes no dilution of common stock equivalents) and, if applicable,
Diluted EPS (which reflects the potential dilution of common stock equivalents).

The standard was effective for the Company with the completion of its fiscal
1998 second quarter.

(1)  On August 28, 1998 the Company redeemed its Series C Preferred Stock which
     caused a $1,666,000 charge to net income applicable to common stock. See
     Note 5 for more information.

(2)  For fiscal 1998, the loss on redemption of preferred stock is deducted from
     net income in computing diluted earnings per share because not deducting it
     would be anti-dilutive.
