Part I.

Item 1.  BUSINESS
              Preliminary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
         The information set forth in "Item 1. Business," in "Item 8.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," and in the other portions of this report includes forward-looking
statements about the Corporation and its business. For this purpose, the use of
words such as "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that
realistically could cause results to differ materially from those projected in
the forward-looking statements include the cyclical and seasonal nature of the
furniture market; the availability and cost of raw materials and labor;
availability, terms and deployment of capital; events that disrupt the flow of
goods from off-shore manufacturing sources; merchandising decisions by one or
more of the Company's major customers that adversely affect their purchases of
the Company's furniture products; changes in fashion or tastes; general
conditions in the economy or capital markets; demographic changes; competition;
and other factors identified in "Item 1. Business," in "Item 8. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and
in other portions of this report.

(a) General Development of Business.
    --------------------------------

         The operations of the Company during the past three years consisted of
the manufacture, import, and sale of low and medium-priced residential, home
office, and commercial office furniture.


(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments.
    ----------------------------------------------

         The Company's continuing operations as shown in its Selected Financial
Data (See Item 6) for the five years ended August 28, 1999, consist of one
industry segment -- the manufacture, import, and sale of furniture.


(c) Narrative Description of the Business.
    --------------------------------------

         The Company manufactures, imports, and sells low and medium-priced
bedroom furniture, dining furniture, occasional and accent furniture, home
office and commercial office furniture, conference tables, and chairs.

         The Company's furniture products are marketed throughout the United
States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, and Saudi Arabia, principally to
furniture retailers. Export sales totaled approximately 3% of the Company's
sales in fiscal 1999. Approximately 10% of the Company's sales are accounted for
by sale to wholesale distributors. The Company's sales are made through
independent, commissioned sales representatives, as well as sales and marketing
personnel employed by the Company. The Company maintains showrooms for furniture
markets in High Point, North Carolina. The Company also participates in the
annual NeoCon commercial office furniture tradeshow in Chicago, Illinois.


                                       I-1


                                                                          Page 3


The raw materials which are essential to the domestic manufacture of furniture are wood, board products, fabric, finishing materials, hardware and glass. There are a number of sources of supply for wood, board products and fabric. Approximately 42% of these materials are purchased from independent suppliers, and the balance of these materials are obtained by the Company by processing purchased logs and lumber through the Company's saw mill and dimension plant, by cutting various types of board and drawer body parts, and manufacturing high pressure laminated tops for its office furniture. If, for any reason, the Company's existing sources of supply for any of its raw materials became unable to service the Company, the Company believes its furniture manufacturing operations would not be adversely affected because there are adequate alternate sources of supply. Loss of any one or several sources of supply would not have a material adverse effect on the Company as ample alternative sources exist. Approximately 50% of the Company's total sales are of imported product. The Company sources these products from various factories in Asia and Mexico, both through agents and direct, based primarily on Company developed designs. The Company maintains a showroom, production office, and quality control organization in China. An unanticipated interruption in the flow of products from one or more of these factories could have a short-term material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. The Company owns or uses the following trademarks in connection with its furniture products, which trademarks are due to expire on the dates indicated below: Expiration Trademark Product Date --------- ------- ---- TOP GUARD All DMI products 2002 Wood Classics Furniture Company Office Furniture 2006 Carolina Desk Company All DMI products 2008 DMI All DMI products 2009 DMI Furniture, Inc. All DMI products 2009 Wood Manor All DMI products 2007 Cyber City Furniture Warehouse All DMI products 2007 Carolina Classics Office Furniture Company All DMI products Pending Wynwood All DMI products 2009 Homestyles All DMI products Pending Dolly Madison All DMI products Pending It is not common in the furniture industry to obtain a patent for a furniture design. If a particular design of a furniture manufacturer is well accepted in the marketplace, it is common for other manufacturers to imitate the same design without recourse by the furniture manufacturer who initially introduced the design. The Company often engages independent designers to work in conjunction with its own personnel in designing furniture products. The Company's sales have historically not been subject to material seasonal fluctuations. However, as the Company's seasonal promotions of imported furniture increase, the sales may be more subject to quarterly fluctuations. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements. I-2 Page 4


It is the furniture industry's and the Company's practice to grant extended payment terms from time to time to promote sales of products. From time to time, the Company extends payment terms by 30 to 60 days in an attempt to stimulate sales of its products. The frequency of the special payment terms depends upon general business conditions, but generally extended terms are offered only once or twice per year and then only on certain products. These special payment terms have not had, nor are they expected to have in the future, any material impact on the Company's liquidity. The Company's six largest customers accounted for approximately 49% of the Company's total sales in fiscal 1999. One customer, Sam's Club division of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total net sales for fiscal 1999. The loss of one or more of these customers at the same time could have a materially adverse effect on the business of the Company. As of August 28, 1999, one customer accounted for approximately 25% of total accounts receivable. The Company's customers include large furniture chain store retailers, wholesale clubs, catalog retailers, and independent distributors, as well as numerous smaller retailers. The furniture industry is extremely competitive. The Company competes in the national market for low to upper medium-priced furniture. Due to the fragmented nature of the furniture manufacturing industry and the unavailability of complete financial reports for all its competitors, the Company is unable to accurately state its rank in the industry. There are, however, a large number of furniture manufacturers with substantially greater sales and greater economic resources than the Company, a number of which are subsidiaries or divisions of large national companies. The principal methods of competition in the furniture industry are design, pricing, sales force, customer service, and manufacturing location. The Company believes it is a leading producer and marketer of popular priced "promotional" bedroom furniture, home office furniture, and wood office furniture. The Company employs approximately 443 employees, of whom approximately 189 are covered by collective bargaining contracts. The Company presently does not anticipate a strike or work stoppage at any of its facilities. However, it cannot be assumed that labor difficulties will not be encountered in the future. Item 2. PROPERTIES. The Company's principal offices are located in 10,336 square feet of leased office space in Louisville, Kentucky. The Company owns three operating furniture manufacturing plants located in: Huntingburg, Indiana (78,910 square feet, and 100,000 square feet); and Ferdinand, Indiana (117,823 square feet); a saw mill and a dimension parts plant located in Ferdinand, Indiana; and a fabrication plant in Huntingburg, Indiana (98,000 square feet). In addition, the Company owns a 235,000 square foot warehouse located in Huntingburg, Indiana. I-3 Page 5


The Company completed construction during fiscal 1998 of a 100,000 square foot warehouse in Huntingburg, Indiana on its existing property. The main purpose of this new building is warehousing and distribution of the Company's various product lines. The Company has announced plans to close its Ferdinand, Indiana furniture manufacturing plant during fiscal 2000. See Note 12 to the financial statements for additional information. All of the Company's properties are encumbered by mortgages held by its bank. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The productive capacity and extent of utilization of each of the Company's manufacturing facilities for the fiscal year ended August 28, 1999 are set forth in the table below. "Productive capacity" is defined for this purpose as gross sales dollars produced both for outside sales and internal integration, working fifty hours per week on a single shift with the existing number of employees and no material investments in machinery and equipment or change in product mix. The Company has on occasion operated more than one shift at one of its plants and may add shifts to other plants in the future to increase capacity. Fiscal 1999 Facility Capacity Production %Utilized -------- -------- ---------- --------- (dollars in thousands) Ferdinand, Ind.

Sawmill/ Dimension Plant 7,349 6,927 94% ------- ------- --- $74,834 $56,622 76% ======= ======= === Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including several environmental matters. The Company presently retains a reserve of approximately $41,000 against potential environmental liabilities. 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. Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. No matters were submitted during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year which required a vote of security holders. I-4 Page 6


Part II. Item 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.

(d) Dividend Policy Payment of dividends will be within the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend, among other factors, on earnings, capital requirements and the operating and financial condition of the Company. At the present time, the Company's anticipated capital requirements are such that it intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings in order to finance the development of its business and the retirement of its debt. In addition, the Company's present financing agreement with Bank One, Indiana, N.A. prohibits the payment of dividends on common stock without the written consent of the bank.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has a $26,800,000 credit agreement with Bank One, Indianapolis, N.A. comprised of a $5,300,000 term loan, a $1,500,000 term loan, and a maximum revolving master note loan commitment of $20,000,000 (outstanding balance $17,250,000 as of August 28, 1999). In addition, through February 28, 2000, to finance seasonal levels of accounts receivable and inventory, the Company has an additional $3,000,000 commitment under the revolving master loan note. On August 28, 1999, the Company had $2,328,000 additional borrowings available under the formula for calculating its available borrowings. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Demands for funds relate to payments for raw materials and other operating costs, resale merchandise, debt obligations, and capital expenditures. The Company's ability to generate cash adequate to meet short and long-term needs results from the collection of accounts receivable and from its ability to borrow funds. The Company's days of sales outstanding of accounts receivable averaged 57 days for fiscal 1999 and 53 days for fiscal 1998. This increase was primarily the result of general soft conditions in the commercial office category. Inventory turnover was 3.7 in fiscal 1999 and 3.5 in fiscal 1998. The Company believes it will be able to generate enough cash in fiscal 2000 from operations together with available borrowings under its revolving master note to make scheduled payments on its long term debt. On August 28, 1998 the Company retired its Series C Preferred Stock. Of the 1,995,050 Series C shares outstanding, 1,557,593 shares were redeemed for $3.00 per share by the Company as stated in its Certificate of Incorporation, and 437,457 Series C shares were converted into 722,762 common shares at the option of the holders. The redeeming shareholders were paid a final dividend of $75,319 on the date of redemption. The redemption of the 1,557,593 Series C shares resulted in a $1,666,000 charge to income applicable to common stock because the $3.00 redemption price exceeded the par value of the Series C stock of $2.00, and the Company recognized approximately $109,000 in transaction costs. The redemption was funded through term bank debt and cash. This transaction resulted in a substantial anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share in future periods. Key elements of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (in thousands): 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- Net cash provided (used) by operating activities $(4,093) $(1,211) $ 23 Cash used in investing activities (385) (2,233) (858) ------- ------- ------- Net cash flows from operating and investing activities (4,478) (3,444) (835) Cash provided by financing activities 4,171 4,025 1,250 ------- ------- ------- Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ (307) $ 581 $ 415 ======= ======= ======= During fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998, the Company used cash flows for operations of $4,093,000 and $1,211,000 respectively, primarily to finance finished goods inventories for its new divisions and new commercial office groups as well as to finance increased accounts receivables from substantially increased sales. During fiscal 1997, the Company provided cash II-3 Page 9


flows from operations of $23,000 from net income of $2.4 million offset primarily by funds used to finance inventories of expanding office and home office furniture lines as well as to finance seasonal inventories of wood at the Sawmill to minimize spot purchase premiums during the fall and winter months. In addition, cash was used to finance accounts receivable resulting from the sales increase during the fourth quarter. Cash flows of $385,000 were used for investing activities during fiscal 1999 primarily for plant and equipment modernization expenditures. Cash flows of $2,233,000 were used for investing activities during fiscal 1998 primarily to build the new warehousing and distribution facility as well as to finish a capital project at the Company's sawmill and dimension plant. Investing activities used $858,000 during fiscal 1997 primarily to finance capital expenditures, in particular the building addition at the Dimension Plant to accommodate the lumber yield optimization equipment, to finance the sales automation hardware and software, and to finance ongoing plant modernization. Funds used for these expenditures were partially offset by $193,000 in proceeds from the sale of certain environmental permits. Net cash flows from financing activities of $4,171,000 for fiscal 1999 were used primarily to finance the previously mentioned current assets. Net cash flows from financing activities of $4,025,000 for fiscal 1998 were used to finance the previously mentioned current assets and capital expenditures as well as to retire the Series C Preferred Stock. Financing activities during fiscal 1997 of $1,250,000 were provided primarily by the revolving line of credit. 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's fiscal 2000 budget for capital expenditures is approximately $547,000. The Company anticipates that its 2000 internal cash flow and additional borrowings available under its credit agreement will be sufficient to pay for these expenditures. 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. 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" and Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 II-4 Page 10


ready. The Company employs IBM AS400 hardware, IBM OS400 operating system, and MAPICS manufacturing and production information control system for the large majority of its system needs, all of which was subject to the above mentioned certifications. The Company has tested this hardware and software and found its Year 2000 readiness to be as certified. The Company has determined that its manufacturing machinery and equipment and telecommunications equipment is Year 2000 compliant. The Company has not incurred any material costs in its Year 2000 readiness plans nor does it anticipate any material costs in the future. The Company has received representations or certifications from its largest suppliers representing that they are Year 2000 compliant. In the event that any of the Company's larger suppliers are not Year 2000 compliant, the Company believes that a sufficient number of alternative sources exist to allow the Company to meet its raw material needs. The Company has received representations from customers representing approximately 50% of its annual sales that those customers are Year 2000 compliant. These customers are also referenced in Note 11 as representing 51% of the Company's sales for fiscal 1998. A majority of the customers that utilize electronic data interchange to transact business with the Company have represented that they are or will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company has received representations from its primary depository and lender bank that they are Year 2000 compliant. Even given best efforts and execution of the aforementioned planning and testing, disruptions and unexpected business problems, that are out of the control of the Company, may occur as a result of the Year 2000 issue and could have a negative impact on the Company's operating results, liquidity, and financial position. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales for fiscal 1999 increased by $15,646,000 or approximately 24% over fiscal 1998. This increase was primarily volume driven and was the result of increased home office sales and sales by the Company's new Wynwood and Homestyles divisions. The sales changes were as follows: Home office increased approximately 36%; Wynwood and Homestyles together accounted for approximately 18% of the sales increase; promotional bedroom sales decreased by approximately 8%; and commercial office sales decreased by approximately 5%. Net sales for fiscal 1998 increased by $8,293,000 or approximately 15% over fiscal 1997. This increase was primarily volume driven and was the result of increased home office sales and sales by the Company's new Wynwood division. The sales changes were as follows: Home office, Wynwood, and other residential furniture sales excluding promotional bedroom increased by approximately 65%; promotional bedroom sales decreased by approximately 9%; and commercial office sales were approximately the same as the previous year. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 80.2% of sales for fiscal 1999, 77.7% of sales for fiscal 1998, and 76.6% of sales for fiscal 1997. The increases in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998 were primarily a result of lower utilization of the Company's production facilities and a lower margin product sales mix. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 14.6% of sales for fiscal 1999, 15.9% of sales for fiscal 1998, and 15.3% of sales for fiscal 1997. The decrease in fiscal 1999 as a percent of sales is primarily the result of the fixed nature of a majority of these expenses relative to the substantial sales increase. The slight increase in fiscal 1998 was primarily due to the sales and marketing related expenses of the Company's new II-5 Page 11


Wynwood and Homestyles divisions. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 management committed to permanently close its Ferdinand, Indiana furniture manufacturing plant during fiscal 2000. This closing will reduce the underutilized manufacturing capacity of the Company. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $600,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 related to this closing. The charge included book provisions of approximately: $240,000 related to the recording of property, plant, and equipment at net realizable value; $100,000 for recording certain inventory items at net realizable value; $85,000 for a pension curtailment loss; $105,000 for severance pay; and approximately $70,000 for costs to be incurred after operations cease that are associated with the closing as well as future occupancy related costs. The severance pay, which is called for by company policy, is related to the termination of certain salaried and support staff personnel. Net current assets and liabilites associated with this plant as of August 28, 1999 are immaterial to the financial position of the company. The carrying amount of net long-term assets to be disposed of as of August 28, 1999 is approximately $500,000 and management's expectations are that such assets shold be disposed of within the next twelve months. Net interest expense increased to $1,766,000 in fiscal 1999 from $1,060,000 in fiscal 1998 primarily due to higher loan balances to support the increased accounts receivable and inventory balances, and to finance the preferred stock retirement. (See Note 5) Net interest expense increased to $1,060,000 in fiscal 1998 from $1,005,000 in fiscal 1997 primarily due to higher loan balances to support the increased accounts receivable and inventory balances. Gain On Disposal Of Property, Plant and Equipment - During fiscal 1997 the Company sold certain State of Pennsylvania environmental permits for approximately $192,000 which had no carrying value. EFFECTS OF INFLATION Inflation affects the Company's business principally in the form of cost increases for material and wages. Management has attempted to cover increased costs by increasing sales prices to the extent permitted by competition. Historically, the Company has not been able to raise sales prices enough so as to offset all increased costs during all past years. The Company believes that its competitors also have not been able to raise their prices so as to offset all increased costs and therefore does not feel that the Company has incurred any material adverse effect on its competitive position. The Company believes that it has been able to minimize the effects of general inflation in the past by improving its manufacturing and purchasing efficiency and increasing its employee productivity. There can be no assurance that inflation will not have a material effect on the Company's business in the future. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is changes in interest rates. At August 28, 1999, a hypothetical 100 basis points increase in short term interest rates would result in a reduction of approximately $189,000 in annual pretax earnings. This estimate assumes no change in the volume or composition of debt at August 28, 1999. The Company has effectively fixed the interest on approximately $8 million of its long term debt through the use of interest rate swaps, and the above estimated earnings reduction takes these swaps into account. The fair market value of these swaps is immaterial. (See Note 1) II-6 Page 12

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DMI Furniture, Inc. and subsidiary as of August 28, 1999 and August 29, 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 28, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the Index To Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedules is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DMI FURNITURE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES THE COMPANY - The consolidated financial statements include DMI Furniture, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, DMI Management, Inc. (DMI or Company). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. DMI Furniture, Inc. operates in one industry - the Company manufactures, imports, and sells residential, home office, and commercial office furniture. The Company has more than one operating segment which are aggregated into one reportable segment, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Its principal distribution channels are multi-market furniture retailers, distributors, independent retailers, catalogers, and warehouse clubs located primarily throughout the United States. The Company's fiscal year consists of a fifty-two week period ending on the last Saturday in August. Approximately every seven years the Company's fiscal year consists of fifty-three weeks. The fiscal years presented in this report all consist of fifty-two weeks. INVENTORIES - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. DEPRECIATION - Depreciation is provided on the basis of estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment, using the straight-line method. The useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows: Building and leasehold improvements, 8-35 years; and machinery and equipment, 3-13 years. INCOME TAXES - The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon 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. (See Note 8 for additional information). 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 (1999 - 4,383,000; 1998 - 4,214,781; 1997 - 6,006,353), and assumes the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock. (See Note 15 for additional information) CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS - For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. ADVERTISING - The Company expenses advertising-type costs as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $1,906,000, $1,211,000 and $857,000 in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 respectively. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that F-8 Page 21


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 reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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. REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company recognizes sales of its products when the products are shipped to customers. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company expects to adopt the new Statement effective September 3, 2000. The Statement will require the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will have a significant effect on its results of operations or financial position. In 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This standard establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. The provisions of SFAS No. 130 are reflected in the Company's financial statements. 2. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists of the following: 1998 1999 ---- ---- Economic Development Revenue Bonds; payable in twelve equal monthly payments beginning in fiscal 2002; weekly adjustable coupon interest rate (3.4% on 8/28/99) and payable monthly. $2,230,000 $2,230,000 Economic Development Revenue Bonds; payable in twelve equal monthly payments beginning in fiscal 2003; weekly adjustable coupon interest rate (3.4% on 8/28/99) and payable monthly. 2,020,000 2,020,000 Term note payable to bank; due in 45 monthly principal installments of $116,666.67 through 5/31/02; interest at prime+.25% (8.5%) or LIBOR+2.5% (7.9%). 4,017,000 5,300,000 F-9 Page 22


1998 1999 ---- ---- Term note payable to bank; due in 60 monthly principal installments of $8,333.33 and final payment of $1 million on 8/31/03; interest at prime+.25% (8.5%) or LIBOR+2.5% (7.9%). 1,408,000 1,500,000 $20,000,000 revolving master note payable to bank; interest at prime+.25% (8.5%) or LIBOR+2.5% (7.9%); expires December, 2000. 17,250,000 11,833,419 Capital leases on equipment; payable quarterly through March, 2000; interest at various rates. 9,000 33,605 --------- --------- 26,934,000 22,917,024 Less portion due within one year 1,509,000 1,524,113 --------- --------- $25,425,000 $21,392,911 =========== =========== With respect to the term notes and revolving loan above, the Company has the option of borrowing based on prime rate + .25% or London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) + 2.50%. As of August 28, 1999, $16 million of the revolver note balance and $4.8 million of the term loans were LIBOR priced. Substantially all assets are pledged to collateralize long-term debt. On August 28, 1999, the Company had $2,328,000 additional borrowings available under the formula for calculating its available borrowings. With respect to the Economic Development Revenue Bonds (Bonds), the Company has the option to establish the Bonds' interest rate form (variable or fixed interest rate). When the Bonds are in the variable rate form, or at the end of a fixed interest rate period, the Bondholders reserve the right to demand payment on the Bonds. In the event that any of the Bondholders exercise their rights, a remarketing agent is responsible for remarketing the Bonds on a best efforts basis for not less than the outstanding principal and accrued interest. In the event the Bonds are not able to be remarketed the lender is committed to providing financing for up to 372 days. The letters of credit expire in 2000 unless earlier extended by the bank. As a result of these bank commitments, the Bonds are classified as long-term debt in the accompanying balance sheet. The aggregate maturities of long-term debt and capital leases for the next five fiscal years and thereafter are as follows: 2000 $ 1,509,000 2001 18,750,000 2002 5,567,000 2003 1,108,000 2004 - Thereafter - -------------- $26,934,000 ============== F-10 Page 23


The Company's bank financing agreement contains restrictive covenants that require the Company, among other things, to maintain a fixed charge ratio, tangible net worth, and ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA, all as defined in the bank financing agreement. The Company's failure to meet a covenant as of August 28, 1999 was waived by and reset for future periods by the Company's bank. The financing agreement further restricts the Company from, among other things, without prior written consent, redeeming or purchasing any of its outstanding capital stock; acquiring, merging or consolidating with any other business; paying dividends; and, acquiring capital assets in excess of the annual depreciation. 3. LEASE COMMITMENTS The Company leases certain of its facilities and equipment under operating leases. The leases generally require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, maintenance and utilities. Some of the leases contain renewal options. Future minimum lease payments at August 28, 1999 under these leases are as follows: 2000 $1,013,000 2001 831,000 2002 591,000 2003 115,000 2004 - ---------- Total minimum payments $2,550,000 ========== Rent expense under operating leases charged to operations during fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $844,000, $785,000 and $594,000, respectively. 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 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 $41,000 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. The Company has entered into individual employment agreements with certain of its officers which expire at various times through August 31, 2000. Certain of these agreements provide for lump sum payments in the event employment is terminated as a result of a change in F-11 Page 24


ownership of the Company as defined in the agreements. 5. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK On August 28, 1998 the Company retired its Series C Preferred Stock. Of the 1,995,050 Series C shares outstanding, 1,557,593 shares were redeemed for $3.00 per share by the Company as stated in its Certificate of Incorporation, and 437,457 Series C shares were converted into 722,762 common shares at the option of the holders. The redeeming shareholders were paid a final dividend of $75,319 on the date of redemption. The redemption of the 1,557,593 Series C shares caused a $1,666,000 charge to income applicable to common stock because the $3.00 redemption price exceeded the par value of the Series C stock of $2.00, and the Company recognized approximately $109,000 in transaction costs. The redemption was funded through term bank debt and cash. There were $399,010 of preferred dividends accrued in fiscal 1997 of which $374,576 were paid in fiscal 1998. 6. STOCK OPTIONS The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued To Employees" (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Had compensation cost for all option grants to employees and directors been determined consistent with FASB Statement No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been affected as follows. Because the method of accounting required by SFAS No. 123 has not been applied to options granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be representative of that to be expected in future years. 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- Net income: As reported $1,088,000 $1,975,000 $2,416,000 Proforma 993,000 1,907,000 2,386,000 Diluted earnings per common share: As reported $.25 $.07 (1) $.40 Proforma .23 .06 (1) .40 (1) Net income applicable to common stock was used to compute fiscal 1998 diluted earnings per common share. See Note 5 for additional information. Stock options granted prior to February 22, 1994 were granted pursuant to the Amended Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan approved by stockholders February, 1989. In February, 1994 the stockholders approved the 1993 Long Term Incentive Stock Plan For Employees under which the Company is authorized to issue options to selected key employees to acquire a maximum of 600,000 shares of its common stock in addition to option shares outstanding at the time of its adoption. The option price cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the F-12 Page 25


stock at date of grant for Incentive Stock Options (or 110% for a 10% beneficial owner), and not less than 50% of the fair market value at date of grant for Non-Qualified Stock Options. Options vest at the cumulative rate of 33%, 67%, and 100% on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant and expire ten years from date of grant. A summary of the option transactions during the three years ended August 28, 1999 follows: 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- Weighted Weighted Weighted Average Average Average Options Exercise Options Exercise Options Exercise (000) Price (000) Price (000) Price ---- ----- ----- ------ ----- ----- Outstanding-beginning of year 805 $1.92 707 $1.80 655 $1.66 Granted 20 3.63 100 2.88 85 2.77 Exercised (42) 1.70 (2) 1.38 (33) 1.38 Expired - - - - - - ----- ----- ----- Outstanding-end of year 783 $1.98 805 $1.92 707 $1.80 === === Exercisable at end of year 668 $1.80 616 $1.71 557 $1.68 Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year $2.18 $1.64 $1.66 Exercise prices for options outstanding as of August 28, 1999 ranged from $1.38 to $3.63. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of those options is 4.8 years. Included in the above are non-qualified options for 366,724 shares of common stock for $1.38 to $2.50 per share to certain employees/directors which have a total option price of approximately $652,000. The options are immediately exercisable for up to ten years after the date of grant. The Company has a stock option plan under which the Company is authorized to issue options to non-employee directors to acquire a maximum of 160,000 shares of its common stock for options granted prior to March 15, 1998. A new plan was adopted effective March 15, 1998 authorizing the Company to issue options to non-employee directors to acquire a maximum of 100,000 shares of its common stock. The option price is the closing bid price for shares on NASDAQ on the date of grant. Options vest at the cumulative rate of 50% and 100% on the first two anniversaries of the date of grant and expire ten years from date of grant. A summary of the option transactions during the three years ended August 28, 1999 follows: F-13 Page 26

The weighted-average remaining contractual life of those options is 5.5 years. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 1999, 1998, and 1997: expected volatility of 41.7 percent; risk-free interest rate of 4.62 percent; expected lives for options of 10 years; and expected dividend yield of 0 percent based on the Company's history of no dividend payments on common stock. 7. PENSION PLANS The Company has a defined benefit pension plan which covers substantially all hourly employees. Pension costs charged to operations were approximately $142,000 in fiscal 1999, $116,000 in fiscal 1998, and $142,000 in fiscal 1997. Retirement benefits are based on years of credited service multiplied by a dollar amount negotiated under collective bargaining agreements. The Company's policy is to fund normal costs and amortization of prior service costs at a level which is equal to or greater than the minimum required under ERISA. F-14 Page 27

Costs charged to operations in fiscal 1999, fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997 for these plans were approximately $160,000, $152,000 and $139,000, respectively. The Company had a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that was terminated for all non-retired executive participants during fiscal 1989. The present value of future payments under the plan accrued at August 28, 1999 and August 29, 1998 is approximately $228,000 and $273,000, respectively. Plan costs charged to operations were approximately $25,000 in fiscal 1999, $29,000 in fiscal 1998, and approximately $35,000 in fiscal 1997. 8. INCOME TAXES The tax effect of each temporary timing difference and carryforward that gives rise to significant deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of August 28, 1999 and August 29, 1998 is as follows (in thousands): 1999 1998 ---- ---- Accumulated tax depreciation of property and equipment in excess of accumulated book depreciation and other related items $(630) $(595) Various accruals and reserves 946 885 Inventory 204 175 Other 34 44 ----- ----- Net deferred tax asset $554 $509 ==== ===== A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Management believes the existing net deductible temporary differences will reverse during the periods in which the Company generates net taxable income. Based on this belief and the Company's historical and current pre-tax earnings as well as its expectations for the future, management believes it is more likely than not that the F-16 Page 29


Company will realize its deferred tax assets. As a result, no valuation allowance was required as of August 28, 1999 and August 29, 1998. Further, except for the effects of the reversal of net deductible temporary differences, the Company is not currently aware of any factors that would cause significant differences between taxable income and pre-tax book income in future years. Income tax expense consisted of the following (in thousands): Twelve Months Ended Aug. 28, Aug. 29, Aug. 30, 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- Currently payable $772 $1,376 $1,085 Deferred (45) (220) 378 - ------ ------ ------ Total $727 $1,156 $1,463 ==== ====== ====== The deferred tax provision for the twelve months ended August 28, 1999 and August 29, 1998, and August 30, 1997 consisted of the following (in thousands): 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards $ - $ - $130 Utilization of AMT credit carryforwards - - 187 Excess tax over book depreciation 38 (22) 32 Other (83) (198) 29 ------ ------ ----- $(45) $(220) $378 The provision for income taxes differs from that computed at the federal statutory corporate tax rate as follows (in thousands): Twelve Months Ended Aug.28, Aug. 29, Aug. 30, 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- Tax at 34% statutory rate $617 $1,073 $1,319 State income taxes, net of federal benefit 110 83 144 ----- ------ -------- Income Taxes $727 $1,156 $1,463 9.

(Except in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 in which the loss on redemption of preferred stock was deducted from net income in the computation). (See Notes 1,5, and 15). Diluted earnings per share are computed independently for each of the quarters presented. Therefore, the sum of the quarterly per common share information may not equal the annual diluted earnings per common share. (2) See Note 12. F-18 Page 31


11. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SOURCES OF SUPPLY The Company's six largest customers accounted for approximately 49% of the Company's total sales in fiscal 1999. One customer, Sam's Club division of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total net sales for fiscal 1999. . Six customers accounted for 51% of sales in fiscal 1998 and six customers accounted for 42% of sales in fiscal 1997. The loss of one or more of these customers at the same time could have a materially adverse effect on the business of the Company. As of August 28, 1999, one customer accounted for approximately 25% of total accounts receivable. The Company's customers include large furniture chain store retailers, wholesale clubs, catalog retailers, and independent distributors, as well as numerous smaller retailers. Approximately 50% of the Company's total sales are of imported product. The Company sources these products from various factories in Asia and Mexico, both through agents and direct, based primarily on Company developed designs. The Company maintains a showroom, production office, and quality control organization in China. An unanticipated interruption in the flow of products from one or more of these factories could have a short-term material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. 12. 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. During fiscal 1997 it was determined that the remaining $119,000 of the book provision related to the initial recording of property, plant and equipment at net realizable value was not needed. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 management committed to permanently close its Ferdinand, Indiana furniture manufacturing plant during fiscal 2000. This closing will reduce the underutilized manufacturing capacity of the Company. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $600,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 related to this closing. The charge included book provisions of approximately: $240,000 related to the recording of property, plant, and equipment at net realizable value; $100,000 for recording certain inventory items at net realizable value; $85,000 for a pension curtailment loss; $105,000 for severance pay; and approximately $70,000 for costs to be incurred after operations cease that are associated with the closing as well as future occupancy related costs. The severance pay, which is called for by company policy, is related to the termination of certain salaried and support staff personnel. Net current assets and liabilities associated with this plant as of August 28, 1999 are immaterial to the financial position of the company. The carrying amount of net long-term assets to be disposed of as of August 28, 1999 is approximately $500,000 and management's expectations are that such assets should be disposed of within the next twelve months. 13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The book values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable and trade payables are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company's debt instruments approximated the book value because a substantial portion of the underlying instruments are variable rate notes which reprice frequently. (See Note 1) The Company as of August 28, 1999 has approximately $8 million in interest rate swaps, which are used to reduce the risk of interest rate movements for a portion of its long term debt. F-19 Page 32


The market value of the swaps is immaterial. 14. SOURCE AND SUPPLY OF LABOR The Company employs approximately 443 employees, of whom approximately 189 are covered by collective bargaining contracts. 15. 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. (Thousands except per share amounts) 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- Net income $1,088 $1,975 $2,416 Less: preferred stock dividends - - (399) Less: loss on preferred redemption (1) - (1,666) - --------- ------- ------ Net income applicable to common stock $1,088 $309 $2,017 ========= ======= ====== Average common shares outstanding 3,991 3,261 3,114 Common stock equivalents-dilutive options and convertible preferred stock 392 954 2,892 --------- ------ ------ Average shares of common stock and equivalents outstanding 4,383 4,215 6,006 ========= ====== ====== Basic earnings per share $.27 $.09 $.65 ========= ====== ====== (Net income applicable to common stock divided by average common shares outstanding) Diluted earnings per share (2) $.25 $.07 $.40 ========= ====== ====== (Net income divided by average shares of common stock and equivalents outstanding) (1) On August 28, 1998 the Company redeemed its Series C Preferred Stock which caused a $1,666,000 charge to net income applicable to common stock. See Note 5 for more information. (2) For fiscal 1998, the loss on redemption of preferred stock is deducted from net income in computing diluted earnings per share because not deducting it would be anti-dilutive. F-20 Page 33
