Item 1. BUSINESS.

Preliminary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The information set forth in Item 1. Business, in Item 7. 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 7. 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 September 2, 2000, 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 2% of the Companys
sales in fiscal 2000. Approximately 6% of the Companys sales are 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.

##### Table of Contents



The raw materials 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 62% 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 showrooms, production offices, and quality control
organizations in China and Thailand. 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:

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

I-2

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.

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 2000. One customer accounted for 30.7% of the
Companys total net sales for fiscal 2000. 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 September 2, 2000, one customer accounted for
approximately 34% 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 382 employees, of whom approximately 108
are covered by collective bargaining contracts. The collective bargaining
agreement with the United Steel Workers of America, Local 331U, covering 86
employees, expires on March 31, 2001. 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 two operating furniture-manufacturing plants located in
Huntingburg, Indiana (78,910 square feet, and 100,000 square feet); a sawmill 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 two
warehousing facilities totaling 335,000 square feet in Huntingburg, Indiana.

During fiscal 2000 the Company closed and sold its furniture manufacturing
plant located in Ferdinand, Indiana (117,823 square feet). 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 September 2, 2000 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.

the payment of dividends on common stock without the written consent of the
bank. See Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has a $34,800,000 credit agreement with Bank One, Indiana,
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 $28,000,000 (outstanding balance
$19,950,338 as of September 2, 2000). Effective December 1, 2000, the
maximum revolving master note payable is $26,500,000, including a $2,500,000
seasonal commitment to finance accounts receivable and inventory. On September
2, 2000, the Company had approximately $2,800,000 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 60 days for fiscal 2000 and 57 days for fiscal 1999. Inventory
turnover was 4.2 in fiscal 2000 and 3.7 in fiscal 1999. The Company believes
it will be able to generate enough cash in fiscal 2001 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 has, and will continue to, result in a substantial anti-dilutive
effect on earnings per common share.

During fiscal 2000, fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998 the Company used cash
flows for operations of $1,476,000, $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.

##### Table of Contents



Cash flows provided from investing activities were $298,000 for fiscal 2000.
The cash provided in fiscal 2000 was primarily a result of asset sales related
to the closure of Plant 4 (see note 12) partially offset by new equipment
purchases. 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 a new warehousing and distribution facility, as well as to
finish a capital project at the Companys sawmill and dimension plant.

During fiscal 2000 net cash flows from financing activities of $1,070,000 were
used primarily to finance working capital requirements. Net cash flows from
financing activities of $4,171,000 for fiscal 1999 were used primarily to
finance the previously mentioned fixed assets. Net cash flows from financing
activities of $4,025,000 for fiscal 1998 were used to finance the previously
mentioned capital expenditures.

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. See
Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

The Companys fiscal 2001 budget for capital expenditures is approximately
$484,000. The Company anticipates that its 2001 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for fiscal 2000 increased by $24,464,000 or approximately 30%
over fiscal 1999. This increase was primarily volume driven and was the result
of increased home office sales and sales by the Companys Wynwood and
Homestyles divisions. The sales changes were as follows: Home office sales
accounted for approximately 48% of the sales increase; Wynwood and Homestyles
together accounted for approximately 49% of the sales increase; commercial
office sales accounted for 8% of the increase; while promotional bedroom sales
decreased by approximately 9%. Net sales for fiscal 1999 increased by
$15,646,000 or approximately 24% over fiscal 1998. 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%.

As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 80.5% of sales for fiscal 2000,
80.2% of sales

for fiscal 1999, and 77.7% of sales for fiscal 1998. The increases in cost of
sales as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999 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 13.7% of sales for fiscal 2000, 14.6% of sales for fiscal 1999, and 15.9%
of sales for fiscal 1998. The decrease in fiscal 2000 and 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

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 management committed to
permanently close its Ferdinand, Indiana furniture manufacturing plant during
fiscal 2000. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 the company recorded a
pre-tax charge of $600,000 for the expected costs of closing the
above-mentioned plant. As of May 27, 2000 the company had completed the shut
down of the Ferdinand, Indiana plant. During the third quarter the company
recognized a $166,000 gain on the sales of assets. The company also recorded a
$125,000 plant closing reserve credit in the second fiscal quarter, as
plant-closing costs became known. The balance in the plant closing reserve as
of September 2, 2000 is zero.

Net interest expense increased to $2,239,000 in fiscal 2000 from $1,766,000 in
fiscal 1999 primarily due to increases in the prime & LIBOR interest rates and
higher loan balances to support the increased accounts receivable and inventory
balances. 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.

Gain On Disposal Of Property,
Plant and Equipment  during fiscal 2000 the
Company sold or retired certain assets relating to the closure of the
Ferdinand, IN manufacturing plant. The overall effect of the disposal is a
$166,000 gain. In addition, other assets were disposed of in the ordinary
course of business; the gain on the sale of these assets was approximately
$7,000.

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.

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 September 2, 2000, a hypothetical
100 basis points increase in short
term interest rates would result in a reduction of approximately $200,000 in
annual pretax earnings. This estimate assumes no change in the volume or
composition of debt at September 2, 2000. The Company has effectively fixed
the interest rates 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. As of September 2, 2000 the fair market value
of these swaps is approximately $193,500. (See Note 13)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To The Shareholders of DMI Furniture, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DMI Furniture,
Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiary as of September 2, 2000 and August
28, 1999 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September
2, 2000. 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the 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 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 September 2, 2000 and August 28, 1999, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended September 2, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

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. Fiscal year 2000 consists of a fifty-three week period
ending the first Saturday in September. Fiscal years 1999 and 1998 presented
in this report 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 (2000-4,274,000; 1999  4,383,000; 1998  4,214,781), 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 $1,672,000, $1,906,000 and $1,211,000 in
fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998 respectively.

Accounting Estimates  The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that

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.

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 September 2, 2000, $18 million of the revolver
note balance and $3.6 million of the term loans were LIBOR priced.

Substantially all assets are pledged to collateralize long-term debt. On
September 2, 2000, the Company had no 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. If 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. If the
Bonds cannot be remarketed the lender is committed to providing financing for
up to 372 days. The letters of credit expire in 2001 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:

| |            |   |            |            |

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 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. As of September 2, 2000 the
Company is in compliance with the aforementioned

covenants.

On October 9, 2000 Bank One, Indiana, NA committed, effective December 1, 2000,
to a maximum revolving master note payable of $26,500,000 including a
$2,500,000 seasonal commitment, to finance accounts receivable and inventory.
In addition, the revolving master note payable expiration date was extended to
December 31, 2001.

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 September 2, 2000 under these leases are
as follows:

|                       |  |   |           | 
|---------------------- |  | - | --------- | 
|2000                   |  | $ | 1,220,000 |

|                       |  |   |           | 

Rent expense under operating leases charged to operations during fiscal
years 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $1,114,000, $844,000 and $785,000 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, 2001.
Certain of these agreements provide for lump sum payments in the event
employment is terminated as a result of a change in 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

F-11

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 approximately $374,000
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. On February 15, 2000 the maximum shares of common stock allowed to
be issued was increased to 800,000 shares for the 1993 Long Term Incentive
Stock Plan for Employees. The option price cannot be less than 100% of the
fair market value of the stock at date of grant for Incentive Stock Options (or
110% for a 10% beneficial owner), and not less than 50% of the fair market
value at date of grant for Non-Qualified Stock Options. Options vest at the
cumulative rate of 33%, 67%, and 100% on the first three anniversaries of the
date of grant and expire ten years from date of grant.

##### Table of Contents



Exercise prices for options outstanding as of September 2, 2000 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 2000, 1999, and 1998: expected
volatility of 36.1 percent; risk-free interest rate of 5.75 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
$113,000 in fiscal 2000, $142,000 in fiscal 1999, and $116,000 in fiscal 1998.
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 ERISA.

Net pension costs for the defined benefit plan in fiscal 2000, fiscal 1999
and fiscal 1998 was computed as follows:

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 Company will realize its deferred tax assets. As a result, no
valuation allowance was required as of September 2, 2000 and August 28, 1999.
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. 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.

(2) See Note 12.

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 2000. One customer accounted for 30.7% of the
Companys total net sales for fiscal 2000. Six customers accounted for 49% of
sales in fiscal 1999 and six customers accounted for 51% of sales in fiscal
1998. 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 September 2,
2000, one customer accounted for approximately 34% 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 62% 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

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 management committed to
permanently close its Ferdinand, Indiana furniture manufacturing plant during
fiscal 2000. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 the Company recorded a
pre-tax charge of $600,000 for the expected costs of closing the
above-mentioned plant. As of May 27, 2000 the company had completed the shut
down of the Ferdinand, Indiana plant. During the third quarter the company
recognized a $166,000 gain on the sales of assets. The Company also recorded a
$125,000 plant closing reserve credit in the second fiscal quarter, as
plant-closing costs became known. The balance in the plant closing reserve as
of September 2, 2000 is zero.

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 substantial portions of the underlying instruments are
variable rate notes which re-price frequently.

The Company as of September 2, 2000 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.
The market value of the swaps is approximately $193,500.

14. Source and Supply of Labor

The Company employs approximately 382 employees, of whom approximately 108
are covered by collective bargaining contracts. The collective bargaining
agreement with the United

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.
