           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 February 28, 1998 and for the three 
and six months ended February 28, 1998 and March 1, 1997 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 1998 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.


(2) Income Taxes

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

(3) 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. See Exhibit 11 for more information.

(4) Inventories

     Inventories were comprised of the following at Feb. 28, 1998 and 
August 30, 1997:

</TABLE>

(5) Other matters

     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 $45,000 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.

(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

     The Company permanently closed its Gettysburg, Pennsylvania manufacturing
plant and warehouse facilities and consolidated the production and distribution
activities of those operations into its Huntingburg, Indiana facilities during
the second quarter of fiscal 1996.  Consolidation of production and warehousing
into the Indiana facilities resulted in lower manufacturing and warehousing
overhead and plant administrative costs. 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.

(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 that adoption did not have a material impact on its financial
position or results of operations.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue - Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 decreased 
$1,082,000 or 8% from the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  This decrease was 
primarily the result of  decreased sales of: promotional bedroom furniture; a 
residential desks/accent furniture product line that has been discontinued;  
and lumber and wood products by the Company's sawmill.  This decrease was 
offset somewhat by increased sales of commercial office furniture. Office 
furniture sales increased 3%; sales to outside trade customers of lumber and 
fabricated wood parts by the Company's sawmill/dimension parts plant 
decreased 9%; and sales of the discontinued residential desks/accent 
furniture product line decreased from $711,000 to $154,000.  Sales of home 
office and other imported furniture were unchanged for the quarter.

     Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 1998 increased $568,000 or 
2% from the first six months of fiscal 1997.  This increase was the result of 
increased sales of commercial office and home office furniture offset 
somewhat by decreased sales of  bedroom furniture. Office furniture sales 
increased by 8%; sales of  home office furniture and other residential 
furniture including desks, desk chairs, wall systems, occasional tables 
increased 15%, and bedroom furniture decreased by 8%.

Gross Margin - The Company's gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 
1998 was  20.6% compared to 22.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.   
This decrease in  gross margin was primarily the result of  lower production 
levels and gross margins associated with the promotional bedroom furniture 
line as a result of weak demand, as well as lower margins on the Company's 
home office line resulting primarily from higher sales allowances on the 
imported home office product line.

     The Company's gross margin in the first six months of fiscal 1998 was 
22.4% compared to 23.0 % in the first six months of fiscal 1997.   This 
decrease was primarily the result of lower production levels and gross 
margins associated with the promotional bedroom furniture line as a result of 
weak demand.

Selling, General and Administrative (S,G&A) Expense - For the second quarter 
of fiscal 1998, S,G&A expense amounted to $2,238,000 or 17.5% of sales 
compared to $2,086,000 or 15.0% of sales for the second fiscal quarter of 
1997.  For the first six months of  fiscal 1998, S,G&A expense amounted to 
$4,808,000 or 15.9% of sales compared to  $4,302,000 or 14.5% of sales for 
the first six months of fiscal 1997. These increases were primarily due to 
sales and marketing related start-up expenses for the Company's new Wynwood 
division.  On September 4, 1997 the Company announced the formation of the 
Wynwood division to market better quality imported wood furniture.  The sales 
and marketing related start-up expenses totaled approximately $220,000 and 
$430,000 during the second quarter and first six months, respectively, of 
fiscal 1998.  These expenses had the affect of lowering basic earnings per 
common share by $.04 for the second quarter and $.08 for the first six months 
of fiscal 1998.

Interest Expense - For the second  quarter of fiscal 1998, net interest was 
$206,000 compared to $269,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1997, or a 
decrease of 23%  This  decrease was primarily the result of lower borrowing 
rates resulting from the Company's amended credit arrangements as well as 
lower rates in the financial markets.

     For the first six months of fiscal 1998, net interest was $465,000 
compared to $561,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1997, or a decrease 
of 29%. This decrease was the result the reasons mentioned above.

     The Company permanently closed its Gettysburg, Pennsylvania 
manufacturing plant and warehouse facilities and consolidated the production 
and distribution activities of those operations into its Huntingburg, Indiana 
facilities during the second quarter of fiscal 1996.  Consolidation of 
production and warehousing into the Indiana facilities resulted in lower 
manufacturing and warehousing overhead and plant administrative costs. 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 53 
days for the first six months of fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997.  The Company's 
average days of inventory on  hand averaged 90 days for the first six months 
of fiscal 1998 compared to 82 days for the first six months of fiscal 1997.  
This increase is primarily due to the initial build-up of new office 
furniture group finished goods inventory as well as increased inventory of 
logs to reduce seasonal fluctuations in the cost of lumber.

     During the first six months of fiscal 1998 , the Company provided cash 
flows from operating activities of $2,883,000 compared to cash flows provided 
of $1,704,000 the previous year.  The comparatively strong operating cash 
flows in the current year are primarily due to a larger decrease in accounts 
receivable since fiscal 1997 year end versus the previous year's decrease, 
and also due to an inventory reduction in the six month period of the current 
year versus an inventory increase in the six month period of the previous 
year. Investing activities required $1,337,000 during the first six months of 
fiscal 1998 and $391,000 during the first six months of fiscal 1997 primarily 
for capital expenditures.  The increased amount for the current year is a 
result of the building project for the new Wynwood division.  Financing 
activities used $1,389,000 during the first six months of fiscal 1998 
primarily in reduction of debt offset somewhat by new borrowings for the 
building project previously mentioned, compared to funds used of $1,233,000 
primarily in reduction of debt for the six month period of the previous year.

     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 $45,000 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.   
See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings".

     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.

     The Company has received certifications or representations from the 
vendors of its critical hardware, system software, and application software 
that those products are Year 2000 ready.  The Company considers itself to be 
Year 2000 systems ready in all material respects.

      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

approximately $45,000 against potential environmental liabilities.  Due to

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