Net sales in the Casegoods Division in the third quarter reflect an increase
over the same quarter in 1995;  other Divisions were flat or down in comparison
to the prior year.  For the nine month period, the Motion and Upholstery
Divisions accounted for the majority of decreased sales.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
Cost of sales for the 1996 third quarter (83.69%) improved over the second
(84.08%) and first (84.13%) quarters.  The gross profit margin for the nine
month period has fallen 74 basis points compared to 1995.  The decrease in
gross profit margin follows a decrease of approximately 90 basis points for the
full fiscal year 1995 from 1994.  This decline in margins is the result of the
continuing inability to increase sales prices to compensate for incurred raw
material cost increases.  This is shown by a comparison of the cost components
comprising cost of sales as a percentage of net sales:

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

COSTS AND EXPENSES - continued
The increase in the overhead component percentage is a result of decreased
sales volume.  Total overhead costs declined approximately $2.4 million in the
1996 nine month period and $625 thousand in the 1996 third quarter, compared to
1995 periods.

The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales is also a result of
the decline in net sales.  Total dollars, including variable costs (primarily
sales commissions), decreased in each period;  and, in addition, the fixed cost
components of SG&A also declined during the periods reported.
