                               DMI FURNITURE, INC.


       Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ORGANIZATION

     The consolidated financial statements include DMI Furniture, Inc. and its
wholly owned subsidiary, DMI Management, Inc. ("Company"). The financial
statements included herein at December 2, 1995 and for the three months ended
December 2, 1995 and November 26, 1994 are unaudited but include all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the
results of operations and financial position for the periods covered herein.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on
Form 10-K.

     The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily an
indication of the results to be expected for the full 1996 fiscal year.

(2) INCOME TAXES

     During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES ("SFAS No.
109"). SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for
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. In
accordance with this statement, the Company recognized deferred tax assets
reflecting the benefit expected to be realized from the utilization of net
operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), alternative minimum tax credits
carryforwards, and deductible temporary differences.

     In adopting SFAS No. 109, as of August 29, 1993, the Company recorded
approximately $1,931,000 of deferred tax assets and $136,000 of deferred tax
liabilities, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $1,795,000. Such amount
has been reflected during the first quarter of fiscal 1994 in the Consolidated
Statements of Income as the cumulative effect of an accounting change.

     Income tax expense consisted of the following (in thousands):

     The deferred tax provision relates mainly to the utilization of the
Company's NOLs.

     The provision for income taxes differs from that computed at the federal
statutory corporate tax rate as follows (in thousands):

(3) 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, and assumes
the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock. For the first
quarter of fiscal 1996, since the effect of the assumption of the conversion of
the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock would be anti-dilutive, those
common equivalent shares were not included in the calculation of earnings per
common share.


(4) INVENTORIES

     Inventories were comprised of the following at December 2, 1995 and
November 26, 1994:

</TABLE>


(5) OTHER MATTERS

     The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party in six
government investigations and actions relating to waste disposal facilities
which may be subject to remedial action under Superfund. These proceedings are
based on allegations that the Company had hazardous waste substances disposed of
at the state permitted facilities in question. These

                                        9

<PAGE>

DISCUSSION DRAFT 1/2/96

proceedings under Superfund involve many waste generators in addition to the
Company and seek to allocate or recover costs associated with site investigation
and cleanup, which costs could be substantial. As of December 2, 1995 the
Company accrued approximately $148,000 for these potential environmental
liabilities.

(6) DIVIDENDS

     The dividends on Series C Preferred Stock accrued in a fiscal year are not
payable until the following fiscal year.

(7)  PLANT CLOSING

     On September 29, 1995 the Company announced its plan to permanently close
its Gettysburg, Pennsylvania manufacturing plant and consolidate the production
of that plant into its Huntingburg, Indiana facilities by December 31, 1995, and
close its Gettysburg warehouse during 1996. The Company recorded a pre-tax
charge of approximately $995,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 related to
this closing. The charge includes book provisions of approximately $725,000 for
asset impairment and $145,000 for future pension costs, and $125,000 for
severance pay.

     In the absence of this special book charge; Operating Profit would have
been $1,150,000 compared to $1,304,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1995; Net
Income would have been $460,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to
$538,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1995; and Earnings Per Common Share
would have been $.08 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to $.09 for
the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

DISCUSSION DRAFT 1/2/96

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue - Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 decreased $994,000 or
5% from the first quarter of fiscal 1995. This decrease was the result of
decreased sales of bedroom furniture in a weak furniture retail environment
partially offset by increased sales of residential desks, computer desks, home
office furniture, and chairs, as well as increased sales to outside trade
customers of lumber and fabricated wood parts by the Company's sawmill/dimension
parts plant.

Gross Margin - The Company's gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 1996
was 18.2% compared to 19.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 1995, and compared to
16.2%, 17.1%, and 16.9% in the fourth, third, and second quarters respectively
of fiscal 1995. This decrease in gross margin from the first quarter of fiscal
1995 was primarily the result of decreased profit at the Gettysburg facility as
it proceeded towards its closing. (See Note 7.)

Selling, General and Administrative (S,G&A) Expense - For the first quarter of
fiscal 1996, S,G&A expense amounted to $2,073,000 or 11.7% of sales compared to
$2,262,000 or 12.1% of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1995. This decrease
was the result of lower commission and design royalty expense, as well as
general administrative expenses.

Interest Expense - For the first quarter of fiscal 1996, net interest was
$420,000 compared to $468,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1995. This
decrease was primarily the result of lower bank debt balances than in the
previous year as a result of cash flow from the inventory reduction program and
improved accounts receivable collection cycle.

     On September 29, 1995 the Company announced its plan to permanently close
its Gettysburg, Pennsylvania manufacturing plant and consolidate the production
of that plant into its Huntingburg, Indiana facilities by December 31, 1995, and
close its Gettysburg warehouse during 1996. The Company recorded a pre-tax
charge of approximately $995,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 related to
this closing. The charge includes book provisions of approximately $725,000 for
asset impairment and $145,000 for future pension costs, and $125,000 for
severance pay.

     In the absence of this special book charge; Operating Profit would have
been $1,150,000 compared to $1,304,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1995; Net
Income would have been $460,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to
$538,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1995; and Earnings Per Common Share
would have been $.08 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to $.09 for
the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - Demands for funds relate to payments for raw
materials and other operating costs, debt obligations, accrued preferred stock
dividends and capital expenditures. The Company's ability to generate cash
adequate to meet short and long term needs is dependent on the collection of
accounts receivable and from its ability to borrow funds.

                                       11

<PAGE>

The Company's days of sales outstanding of accounts receivable averaged 48 days
for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to 55 days for the first quarter
of fiscal 1995. This improvement in the collection period is primarily the
result of increased business with and more timely payments by a major customer.
The Company's average days of inventory on hand averaged 72 days for the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to 91 days for the first quarter of fiscal 1995.
This decrease is due to the success of the inventory reduction program initiated
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995. The Company's order backlog at December 2,
1995 was approximately $6,816,000, a 9% decrease from approximately $7,470,000
at the same time last year.

</TABLE>

     During the first quarter of fiscal 1996 , the Company provided cash flows
from operating activities of $4,709,000 compared to cash flows used of $548,000
the previous year primarily due to the success of the Company's inventory
reduction program and improved accounts receivable collection cycle. Investing
activities required $54,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and $149,000
during the first quarter of fiscal 1995 primarily for capital expenditures.
Financing activities used $4,696,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 1996
primarily in reduction of debt compared to provided $653,000 the same quarter
previous year which were primarily borrowings under the Company's line-of-credit
agreement to finance inventories and accounts receivable.

The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") by
the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") or other parties in six government
investigations and actions relating to waste disposal facilities which may be
subject to remedial action under Superfund or similar state statutes. These
proceedings are based on allegations that the Company had hazardous waste
substances disposed of at these sites. At each site, many other parties have
been named as PRPs or identified as potentially responsible for remediation, and
the group of PRPs undertaking remediation includes many companies, including
"Fortune 500" companies, believed to have substantial financial resources. The
Company has not determined to what extent, if any, any potential environmental
liabilities may be covered by insurance. The Company has paid a portion of the
costs of preliminary investigation and remediation at three sites, and has
agreed to settle claims against it made by PRPs at two sites. With respect to
these sites, the total amount paid by the Company to date or subject to possible
settlement is less than $39,000. The Company has recorded a reserve of
approximately $148,000 against potential environmental liabilities. For further
information regarding the Company's involvement in environmental proceedings,
see Item 3 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 2, 1995.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

     The Company is involved in six environmental proceedings at this time. Due
to the limited nature of the Company's involvement in these proceedings, the
availability of certain defenses, and the involvement of other parties with
substantial financial resources in the proceedings, the Company does not believe
there is a reasonable likelihood that the potential liabilities the Company may
incur in connection with these proceedings will have a material adverse effect
on the Company's future financial condition or results of operations. For
further information regarding the Company's involvement in environmental
proceedings, see Item 3 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended September 2, 1995.
