                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Certain matters  discussed in this section  include  forward looking  statements
which  include  risks and  uncertainties  including but not limited to economic,
competitive,  governmental  and  technological  factors  affecting  Knape & Vogt
Manufacturing Companies operations, markets, products, services and prices.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

The following  table  indicates the Company's sales (in millions) and percentage
of total sales by product  category for the three month periods ended  September
30, 1996 and 1995:

                                    Three Months ended September 30,

                                         1996                     1995
                              -----------------------     ----------------------

Shelving systems               $     22.4      50.0%        $   21.6       54.3%
Drawer slides                        15.1      33.7%            11.1       27.9%
Hardware                              6.4      14.3%             6.3       15.8%
Furniture components                  0.9       2.0%             0.8        2.0%
                               ----------     ------        --------      ------

Total                          $     44.8     100.0%        $   39.8      100.0%
                               ==========     ======        ==========    ======
                                  

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 increased  $5.0 million,  or
12.7%, over the comparable period of fiscal year 1996.  Shelving sales increased
by $0.8  million,  or 3.7%,  compared  to the first  quarter of fiscal year 1996
primarily  due to an increase in sales of wall attached  shelving.  Drawer slide
sales increased by $4.0 million,  or 36%. The increase in drawer slide sales was
primarily  due to  increases in the sale of precision  drawer  slides.  Hardware
sales  increased  slightly  compared  to the prior  year with  kitchen  products
manufactured  by Feeny  continuing  to be  introduced  into the  retail  market.
Furniture component sales increased slightly. This category of sales is expected
to  decrease  in the future,  as the  Company  announced  on October 24, 1996 it
signed a letter of intent to sell Modar to Fournier Furniture.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of sales was 74.4% of sales for the quarter  compared to 76.2% of sales for
the first  quarter of 1996.  The lower cost of sales is due to  decreases in raw
material  prices,  and improved  absorption of overhead  costs due to the higher
sales volumes.

Selling and  administrative  expenses  decreased  to 16.2% of sales  compared to
17.4% for the period ended  September 30, 1995. The Company was able to maintain
selling expense at  approximately  the same level as the prior year with a large
increase in sales.  Administrative  expense relating to Michigan taxes increased
compared to the prior year when the expense was low due  overpayments  in fiscal
year 1995.

Other Expenses

Interest  expense  was  $503,307  for the quarter  compared to $592,655  for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995. The Company has reduced its level of borrowing
to $36,000,000 at September 30, 1996 from $39,400,000 at September 30, 1995.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (Continued)

Income Taxes

The  effective  tax rate for the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1996 was 35.9%
compared to 39.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  Lower pretax income
for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1995  increased  the impact of  permanent
differences, when computing the effective tax rate.

Income from Continuing Operations

Income from  continuing  operations of $2,346,592  for the first quarter of 1997
was a first  quarter  record.  Earnings  per share  from  continuing  operations
increased 100.0% to $.40 compared to $.20 in the first quarter of last year.

Income from Discontinued Operation

The estimated loss on discontinued  operation  recorded at June 30, 1996 include
an estimate of the  operating  loss until the Roll-it  facility is disposed  of.
There was no income, or loss, recorded on discontinued operation for the quarter
ended  September 30, 1996.  For the first quarter of last year the  discontinued
operation earned $361,284, or $0.06 per share.

Net Income

Net  income  for the  quarter  of  $2,346,592,  was  5.2% of sales  compared  to
$1,507,711,  for the first  quarter  of last year  which was 3.8% of sales.  Net
income per share  increased  by 53.8% to $0.40  compared  to $0.26 for the first
quarter of fiscal year 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company's  net cash  position  decreased  during the first three  months to
$215,264  from  $527,572 at June 30, 1996.  Net cash from  operating  activities
provided  $1,605,947.  Higher  earnings  and a decrease in accounts  payable was
partially  offset by an increase in accounts  receivable  due to the sales terms
offered to customers and the higher sales levels.

Capital expenditures totaled $1,538,118 for the three months ended September 30,
1996,  compared to $766,371 last year. Capital  expenditures for the fiscal year
are  expected  to be at  approximately  the same  levels as last year.  The debt
increased  $1,000,000 due to the increase in accounts receivable and the capital
expenditures.  Debt  levels are  expected to decrease  during the  remainder  of
fiscal year 1997.  Anticipated cash flow from operations will substantially fund
working capital, capital expenditures and dividend payments.
