              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 May 31, 1997 and for the three and nine months
ended May 31, 1997 and June 1, 1996 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 1997 fiscal year.  
 
    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
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  

    The specific useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are
as follows:

         Building and Leasehold Improvements          8 - 35 yrs.
         Machinery and Equipment                      3 - 13 yrs.

(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  nine month period ending June 1, 1996, since the effect of the 
assumption of the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into common 
stock and the assumed exercise of stock options would be anti-dilutive, those 
common equivalent shares were not included in the calculation of earnings per 
common share.  See Exhibit 11 for more information.  

    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 will not be effective for the Company until the 
completion of its fiscal 1998 second quarter.  The pro forma Basic and 
Diluted EPS for the three months and nine months periods of fiscal 1997 and 
1996, respectively, assuming the application of SFAS No. 128 at the beginning 
of those periods, is as follows:


                      Three Months Ended                Nine Months Ended 
                     --------------------             --------------------

(4) INVENTORIES  

    Inventories were comprised of the following at May 31, 1997 and August 
31, 1996:

                                   May 31, 1997      August 31,1996

                                   ------------      --------------

(5) OTHER MATTERS

    The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party 
("PRP") by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") or state agencies, or 
has had claims asserted against it by other parties, in proceedings relating 
to six 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 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 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 approximately $53,000. The Company has 
established a reserve reflecting its estimate of probable environmental 
liabilities in connection with the proceedings based on presently available 
information provided by steering committees of participants or regulatory 
authorities with respect to each site. As of May 31, 1997 the Company has 
accrued approximately $109,000 for these potential environmental liabilities. 
The ultimate costs of the Company's environmental liabilities cannot be 
estimated with certainty, primarily due to several uncertain factors at one 
of the sites subject to legal proceedings. These factors principally are the 
level of contamination, the selection of remedial methods, the stage of 
investigation at the site, and the determination of the Company's liability 
in proportion to owner/operators of the site and other responsible parties. 
Due to the limited nature of the Company's involvement in these 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 during the second quarter and first nine months of fiscal 
1997 were not material. See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings".

(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.  Consolidation of production in the
Indiana facilities resulted in lower manufacturing overhead and plant
administrative costs. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately
$995,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 related to this closing.  The
charge included book provisions of: $160,000 related to the recording of
property, plant, and equipment at net realizable value; $100,000 for recording
certain inventory items at net realizable value; $145,000 for a pension
curtailment loss; $125,000 for severance pay; and approximately $465,000 for
costs expected to be incurred after operations cease and that are associated
with the closing as well as expected future occupancy related costs.  The
severance pay accrual related to the termination of certain salaried and support
staff personnel.  None of the above referenced costs relate to the relocation or
consolidation of production into the Company's Huntingburg, Indiana facility.

    Net current assets and liabilities associated with the Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania facilities as of May 31, 1997 are immaterial to the financial
position of the Company.  The carrying amount of net long-term assets to be
disposed of as of May 31, 1997 are approximately $10,000.  

    During the first quarter of fiscal 1997 the Company sold the Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania warehouse and realized gross proceeds of approximately $130,000. 
Based upon this transaction approximately $118,000 of the book provision related
to the initial recording of property, plant and equipment was not needed.   

    During the third quarter of fiscal 1997 the Company sold an environmental
permit which had no carrying value and was previously associated with the
Gettysburg manufacturing plant and realized a gain on the sale of approximately
$192,000.

(8)  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.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue - Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased $133,000 
or 1% over the third quarter of fiscal 1996. This increase was the result of 
increased sales of commercial office furniture, home office furniture, 
bedroom furniture, and other residential furniture including desks, desk 
chairs, wall systems, occasional tables, and dining tables and chairs. The 
increase was partially offset by lower sales of lumber and wood parts by the 
Company's sawmill/dimension plant to outside trade customers and also offset 
by lower sales of certain residential desk products. Office furniture sales 
increased 5%; sales of home office furniture and other residential furniture 
including desks, desk chairs, wall systems, occasional tables, and dining 
tables and chairs increased 56%; bedroom furniture sales increased 2%; sales 
to outside trade customers of lumber and fabricated wood parts by the 
Company's sawmill/dimension parts plant decreased 32%; and sales of certain 
residential desks decreased 73% which was due to the Company's decision to 
devote less production to these products due to their lower profit margin.

    Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 decreased $442,000 or 
1% from the first nine months of fiscal 1996. This decrease was the result of 
decreased sales of  bedroom furniture, certain residential desk products, and 
lower sales of lumber and wood parts by the Company's sawmill/dimension plant 
to outside trade customers. The decrease was partially offset by increased 
sales of commercial office furniture, home office and other residential 
furniture including desks, desk chairs, wall systems, occasional tables, and 
dining tables and chairs. Office furniture sales increased 13%; sales of home 
office furniture and other residential furniture including desks, desk 
chairs, wall systems, occasional tables increased 13%, bedroom furniture 
decreased by 7%, certain residential desk products decreased by 55%. The 
decrease in bedroom was primarily the result of a weak retail furniture 
environment and the decrease in certain residential desk products was the 
same reason as cited above.   

Gross Margin - The Company's gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 
was 25.5% compared to 20.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The gross 
margin dollars in the third quarter increased $701,000 or 28%. This increase 
in gross margin was primarily the result of: higher margin product sales 
mix; lower overall production and warehousing overhead expenses as a result 
of the success of the Company's asset consolidation program; lower material 
costs; and improved operations at the Company's fabrication plant. 

    The Company's gross margin in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 was 
23.8% compared to 18.2 % in the first nine months of fiscal 1996.  The gross
margin dollars in the first nine months increased $2,289,000 or 30%.  This
increase is the result of the reasons cited above.  

Selling, General and Administrative (S,G&A) Expense - For the third quarter of 
fiscal 1997, S,G&A expense amounted to $2,226,000 or 17.8% of sales compared to 
$1,887,000 or 15.2% of sales for the third fiscal quarter of 1996.  This
increase is primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses, customer
service expenses, information system expenses, and general administrative
expenses.  

                                     - 12 -

<PAGE>

    For the first nine months of fiscal 1997, S,G&A expense amounted to
$6,528,000 or 15.5% of sales compared to $5,851,000 or 13.7% of sales for the
first nine months of fiscal 1996. This increase as a percentage of sales is the
result of the sales decrease mentioned above.  

Interest Expense - For the third quarter of fiscal 1997, net interest was 
$238,000 compared to $278,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1996, or a
decrease of 14%. This decrease was the result of lower bank debt balances than
in the previous year due to the success of the Company's asset consolidation
program.  

    For the first nine months of fiscal 1997, net interest was $799,000
compared to $1,046,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1996, or a decrease
of 24%.  This decrease was the result of a lower interest rate spread charged
by the Company's lending bank as well as lower bank debt balances than in the
previous year due to the success of the Company's asset consolidation program.
  
    During the third quarter of fiscal 1997 the Company sold an environmental
permit which had no carrying value and was previously associated with the
Gettysburg manufacturing plant and realized a gain on the sale of approximately
$192,000. (See Note 7)

    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. Consolidation of production in the
Indiana facilities has resulted in lower manufacturing overhead and plant
administrative costs in future periods. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge
of approximately $995,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 related to this
closing which included a book provision of $160,000 related to the recording of
property, plant, and equipment at net realizable value. (See Note 7)  

    Net current assets and liabilities associated with the Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania facilities as of May 31, 1997 are immaterial to the financial
position of the Company. The carrying amount of net long-term assets to be
disposed of as of May 31, 1997 are approximately $10,000.  

    During the first quarter of fiscal 1997 the Company sold the Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania warehouse and realized gross proceeds of approximately $130,000. 
Based upon this transaction approximately $118,000 of the book provision related
to the initial recording of property, plant and equipment was not needed.  
  
    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. The Company's days
of sales outstanding of accounts receivable averaged 51 days for the first nine
months of fiscal 1997 compared to 50 days for the nine months of fiscal 1996. 
The Company's average days of inventory on hand averaged 89 days for the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to 86 days for the first nine months of
fiscal 1996.  The Company's order backlog at May 31, 1997 was approximately
$8,413,000, a 26% decrease from approximately $11,320,000 at the same time last
year. This decrease is primarily the result of soft demand for bedroom
furniture.

    During the first nine months of fiscal 1997, the Company provided cash
flows from operating activities of $1,631,000 compared to cash flows provided of
$7,146,000 for the nine month period in fiscal 1996. The operating cash flows
in the current year are primarily due to strong operating results and the
previous year primarily due to the success of the Company's inventory reduction
program and improved accounts receivable collection cycle and lower sales
levels. Investing activities required $458,000 during the first nine months of
fiscal 1997 and $169,000 during the first nine months of fiscal 1996 primarily
for capital expenditures. Financing activities used $1,483,000 during the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 primarily in reduction of debt compared to funds used
of $7,245,000 for the same purpose for the same nine month period of the
previous year. 


    The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP")
by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") or state agencies, or has had
claims asserted against it by other parties, in proceedings relating to six
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 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 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 approximately $56,000. The Company has recorded a reserve of
approximately $109,000 against potential environmental liabilities. The
ultimate costs of the Company's environmental liabilities cannot be estimated
with certainty, primarily due to several uncertain factors at one of the sites
subject to legal proceedings. These factors principally are the level of
contamination, the selection of remedial methods, the stage of investigation at
the site, and the determination of the Company's liability in proportion to
owner/operators of the site and other responsible parties.  Due to the limited
nature of the Company's involvement in these 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".

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

    The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP")
by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") or state agencies, or has had
claims asserted against it by other parties, in proceedings relating to six
waste disposal facilities which may be subject to remedial action under
Superfund or similar state statutes, including the action described in the
following paragraph. These proceedings are based on allegations that the
Company had hazardous 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 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 approximately $56,000. The Company has recorded a reserve of
approximately $109,000 against potential environmental liabilities, including
potential liabilities in connection with the site described below.  The
ultimate costs of the Company's environmental liabilities cannot be estimated
with certainty, primarily due to several uncertain factors at one of the sites
subject to legal proceedings. These factors principally are the level of
contamination, the selection of remedial methods, the stage of investigation at
the site, and the determination of the Company's liability in proportion to
owner/operators of the site and other responsible parties.  Due to the limited
nature of the Company's involvement in these 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.      

    In 1988, the Company was named out of over one thousand customers at the
Keystone Sanitation Company landfill (the "Keystone Site") in Union Township,
Pennsylvania, as one of 31 PRPs potentially responsible for remediation of this
site. After the Company provided the EPA with information concerning the
nature of the substances allegedly contributed by the Company, which the Company
believes did not include the principal hazardous substances of concern at the
site identified in the remedial investigation, the EPA did not name the Company
in an Administrative Order issued on June 28, 1991, requiring twelve other PRPs
to undertake remedial action at the Keystone Site.  On September 27, 1993, the
United States filed a lawsuit in federal court for the Middle District of
Pennsylvania against eleven PRPs, who are challenging the EPA's proposal for
remedial action at the Keystone Site, which was estimated to cost $9,156,950. 
The parties have estimated that total site costs will be $17 million.  On
August 11, 1994, the Company was named, along with over 250 PRPs, as a
third-party defendant by the original PRP defendants.  Based on a
court-directed production of information, the Company was assessed a preliminary
allocation of liability among generators of waste of approximately 1.35% by a
consultant. The Company has not paid any amount toward the cost of
investigation or remediation at the Keystone site. The Company is participating
with other third-party defendants in settlement negotiations and in filing a
fourth-party complaint joining over 500 additional parties in the litigation. 
The Company believes it has a reasonable basis upon which to dispute, and has
disputed, both the volume of material attributed to it, and the allegation that
material contributed by the Company requires any remediation. The Company
believes it is likely that a significant share of the liability will be assigned

                                     - 16 -

to the former owners and operators who have considerable assets. In addition,
the federal court has held that a national waste management company that
acquired the Keystone business is liable as a successor to the former owners and
operators.  

    The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the normal course 
of business including the environmental matters noted above, and which in
management's opinion, are not material to the results of operations or
financial position of the Company, or are adequately covered by insurance.

the Bank and the Company agree as follows:

              means the excess, if any, as determined by the Bank of:  (i) the
              present value at the time of prepayment of the interest payments
              which would have been payable on account of an amount prepaid
              from the date of prepayment until the end of the period during
              which interest would have accrued at a LIBOR-based Rate but for
              prepayment over (ii) the present value at the time of prepayment
              of interest payments calculated at the rate (the "Reinvestment
              Rate") which the Bank then estimates it would receive upon
              reinvesting the principal amount of the prepayment in an
              obligation which presents a credit risk substantially similar (as
              determined in accordance with the commercial credit rating system
              then used by the Bank) to that which is then presented by the
              Loan for a period approximately equal to the balance of the
              period during which interest would accrue on the portion of the
              Loan prepaid at a LIBOR-based Rate, but for prepayment.  The
              discount rate used by the Bank in determining such present values

         time of prepayment, the Reinvestment Rate is less than the
         LIBOR-based Rate at which interest accrues on the Loan.  A
         Prepayment Premium shall also be due and payable on
         prepayment of all or any portion of any Loan prior to
         scheduled maturity because of acceleration of maturity on
         account of an Event of Default if, at the time of
         acceleration of maturity, the Reinvestment Rate is less than
         the LIBOR-based Rate at which interest is accruing on the
         Loan.  If at the time of any voluntary or mandatory
         prepayment of any portion of the principal of any Loan,
         interest accrues at both a LIBOR-based Rate or Rates and at
         a Prime-based Rate on portions of the Loan, then any
         prepayment of principal will be applied first to the portion
         of the Loan on which interest accrues at the Prime-based
         Rate and next to the portion or portions at which interest
         accrues at a LIBOR-based Rate or Rates, and if interest
         accrues on the Loan at more than one LIBOR-based Rate, first
         to that portion or those portions on which interest accrues
         at a Rate or Rates which results in no Prepayment Premium or
         the lowest Prepayment Premium or Premiums.

              C.   On any Banking Day, the Company may request a
         quotation of the LIBOR-based Rates then in effect from the
         Bank.  As soon as possible, and in any event before the
         close of business on the next following Banking Day, the
         Bank shall quote such LIBOR-based Rates.  The Company shall
         then have until the end of the Banking Day on which such
         quotation is given or within such longer time as the Bank
         may specify, to exercise its option to elect any LIBOR-based
         Rate quoted, subject to all other conditions and limitations
         stated in this Agreement.  The period for which any LIBOR-based
         Rate is effective shall begin on the second Banking
         Day following the day on which the quotation is given.

              D.   An election of a LIBOR-based Rate may be
         communicated to the Bank on behalf of the Company only by an
         Authorized Officer.  Such election may be communicated by
         telephone or by telephone facsimile (fax) machine or any
         other form of written electronic communication, or by a
         writing delivered to the Bank.  At the request of the Bank,
         the Company shall confirm any election in writing and such
         written confirmation shall be signed by an Authorized
         Officer.  The Bank shall be entitled to rely on any oral or
         employee from anyone reasonably believed in good faith by
         LIBOR-based Rate which is received by an appropriate Bank
         such employee to be an Authorized Officer.

              E.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this
         Agreement, the Bank may elect not to quote a LIBOR-based
         Rate on any day on which the Bank has determined that it is
         not practical to quote such rate because of the
         unavailability of approximating the relevant London
         Interbank Offered Rate, or because of legal or regulatory
         changes which make it impractical or burdensome for the Bank
         to lend money at a LIBOR-based Rate."
