                    Report of Independent Public Accountants


To Falcon Products, Inc.:


         We have audited the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets of FALCON
PRODUCTS,  INC. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of October 31, 1998
and  November 1, 1997,  and the related  consolidated  statements  of  earnings,
stockholders'  equity and cash flows for each of the three  fiscal  years in the
period ended October 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the  Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to express an opinion on
these 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  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Falcon Products,
Inc.  and  subsidiaries  as of October  31, 1998 and  November 1, 1997,  and the
results of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the three  fiscal
years in the period  ended  October  31,  1998,  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Falcon  Products,  Inc. and its subsidiaries  (the Company).  All significant
intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that affect the  amounts  reported  in the  consolidated  financial
statements  and  accompanying  notes.  Actual  results  could  differ from those
estimates.

Fiscal Year

         The Company's  fiscal year ends on the Saturday  closest to October 31.
Fiscal  years  1998 and 1997  ended  October  31,  1998 and  November  1,  1997,
respectively, and included 52 weeks. Fiscal year 1996 ended on November 2, 1996,
and  included 53 weeks.  References  to years relate to fiscal years rather than
calendar years.

Nature of Business

         The  principal  products  manufactured  and  sold  by the  Company  are
pedestal table bases,  table tops, metal and wood chairs,  booths,  millwork and
casegoods.  The  Company's  sales are  primarily to the food  service,  contract
furniture, hospitality, government and healthcare markets. The Company considers
its operations a single industry segment.

         The  Company   operates   factories  in  Mexico  through   wholly-owned
subsidiaries  which produce all of its table base casting  requirements and wood
chair frames and casegood products for the hospitality  industry.  Substantially
all of the  sales  of  these  subsidiaries  are to the  parent  company  and are
eliminated in  consolidation.  The Company has a  manufacturing  facility in the
Czech Republic,  Falcon Mimon,  a.s., which  manufactures and sells chair frames
and fully  finished  wood  chairs  throughout  Europe and in North  America.  In
addition,  the Company operates Howe Europe a/s, in Middelfart,  Denmark,  which
markets,   assembles  and   distributes   tables  and  chairs  to  the  European
contract/office  market.  Sales from  foreign  operations  and export sales from
domestic facilities were $13.6 million,  $9.3 million and $10.9 million in 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

         The Company considers all highly liquid  investments  purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Substantially
all of the  Company's  cash  equivalents  are  denominated  in U.S.  dollars and
therefore  the  effect  of  exchange  rate  changes  on  cash  balances  was not
significant during any of the years presented.


Inventories

         Inventories  are  valued  at the  lower  of  cost  or  market.  Cost is
determined by the first-in,  first-out method.  Inventories at October 31, 1998,
and November 1, 1997, consist of the following:

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements--(Continued)

Property, Plant and Equipment

         Investments  in  property,  plant and  equipment  are recorded at cost.
Improvements are capitalized,  while repair and maintenance costs are charged to
operations.  When assets are retired or  disposed  of, the cost and  accumulated
depreciation  are removed  from the  accounts;  gains or losses are  included in
operations.

         Depreciation,  including  the  amortization  of assets  recorded  under
capital leases,  is computed by use of the  straight-line  method over estimated
service lives. Principal service lives are: buildings and improvements - 5 to 40
years; machinery and equipment - 3 to 13 years.

         Certain of the Company's assets were acquired  through  long-term lease
obligations financed principally by Industrial  Development Revenue Bonds. These
leases represent installment purchases.  Accordingly, the assets are recorded at
cost and the related  obligations  are  included  in  long-term  obligations  as
mortgages payable.

Long-lived Assets

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed
Of," requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable  intangibles to be
held and used or disposed of by an entity be reviewed  for  impairment  whenever
events or changes in  circumstances  indicate that the carrying amount of assets
may  not  be  recoverable.  The  Company  has  assessed  the  recoverability  of
long-lived  assets,  including  intangible  assets,  and has determined  that no
impairment  loss  need  be  recognized  for  applicable   assets  of  continuing
operations.

Other Assets

         Other assets consist of the following at October 31, 1998, and November
1, 1997:

(In thousands)                                          1998        1997
                                                      ---------  -------
Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization
  of $2,285 and $1,481..............................    $23,243   $ 9,454
Deferred catalog costs, net of accumulated
  amortization of $965 and $318.....................      2,241     1,226
Other, net of accumulated amortization
   of $1,127 and $544...............................      3,165     2,128
                                                      ---------  --------
                                                      $  28,649  $ 12,808
                                                     ========== =========

         Goodwill  represents  the  excess of cost over fair value of net assets
acquired at the date of  acquisition.  Goodwill is amortized on a  straight-line
basis over thirty to forty years.  Deferred  debt issue costs are amortized on a
straight-line  basis  over  the  original  life of the  respective  debt  issue,
approximately  three years. The cost of the design,  production and distribution
of sales  catalogs and reprints  thereof is being  amortized on a  straight-line
basis over two to five years.

Pension Plan

     The Company has a  noncontributory  defined  benefit  pension plan covering
certain hourly and substantially all domestic salaried personnel.  The Company's
policy is to fund pension  benefits to the extent  contributions  are deductible
for tax purposes and in compliance with federal laws and regulations.

         The Company also has a  noncontributory  defined  benefit  pension plan
which covered certain  employees of Howe Furniture  Corporation.  Benefits under
this plan were curtailed January 1, 1993.

         On November 21, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company  declared a
10% stock dividend.  The record date of this  transaction was December 13, 1995,
with a distribution  date of January 2, 1996. All  information  contained in the
accompanying  Consolidated  Financial Statements and these Notes to Consolidated
Financial  Statements  relating to the Company's common stock,  including shares
outstanding,  stock option plans and per share data,  has been  restated to give
effect to the stock dividend discussed above.

Foreign Currency Translation

         The Financial  Statements of the Company's  non-U.S.  subsidiaries  are
translated  into U.S.  dollars in  accordance  with SFAS No. 52. The  functional
currency for Falcon  Mimon,  a.s. and Howe Europe a/s has been  determined to be
the subsidiaries'  local currency.  As a result, the gain or loss resulting from
the  translation  of its financial  statements to U.S.  dollars is included as a
separate component of stockholders' equity.

         For the Company's  Mexican  subsidiaries,  inventory,  prepayments  and
property are  translated  at  historical  exchange  rates while other assets and
liabilities are translated at current exchange rates.  Revenues and expenses are
translated at average exchange rates during the year. The resulting  translation
adjustment is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

         The net foreign currency translation and transaction losses included in
earnings  for  1998,   1997  and  1996,  were  $737,  $304  and  $235  thousand,
respectively.

Interest Rate Hedge Agreement

         The Company manages  fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings under
its  revolving  credit  facility by using an interest rate swap  agreement.  The
interest rate swap  agreement is accounted for as a hedge of a debt  obligation,
and  accordingly,  the net  settlement  amount is recorded as an  adjustment  to
interest expense in the period incurred.

         The Company's  interest rate swap agreement requires the Company to pay
a fixed rate and receive a floating rate thereby  creating  fixed rate debt. The
Company's   participation  in  interest  rate  hedging   transactions   involves
instruments that have a close correlation with its debt,  thereby managing risk.
The interest rate swap  agreement has been designed for hedging  purposes and is
not held or issued for speculative purposes.

Earnings Per Share

         In 1998,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings Per Share." All
per share amounts have been calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128 using the
weighted average number of shares outstanding  during each period,  adjusted for
the impact of common stock  equivalents using the treasury stock method when the
effect  is  dilutive.  All per share  data has been  retroactively  restated  in
accordance with SFAS No. 128.

Note 2 - Business Acquisitions

         In March  1998,  the  Company  acquired  the  stock  of Howe  Furniture
Corporation and its  subsidiaries  ("Howe") for $16.6 million,  and assumed $2.2
million of outstanding  long-term debt of Howe. Howe  specializes in the design,
engineering  and  marketing  of tables for the contract  office and  hospitality
markets.  The Company  used the  purchase  method of  accounting  to record this
acquisition.  Accordingly,  results  of  operations  have been  included  in the
financial  statements from the date of  acquisition.  The excess of the purchase
price over amounts  assigned to net tangible assets ($13.9 million) was recorded
as goodwill.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements--(Continued)


         In October  1996,  the  Company  acquired  certain  assets and  assumed
certain  liabilities  of The Chair  Source for 241,400  newly  issued  shares of
common stock valued at approximately $3.3 million,  plus 75,000 shares of common
stock to be issued through October 1999, subject to certain  contingencies.  The
Chair Source  manufactures  wood and upholstered  seating and  distributes  them
primarily to the hospitality, lodging and food service markets. The company used
the purchase  method of accounting to account for this  acquisition and recorded
goodwill of approximately $2.9 million relating to this acquisition.

         In February 1996, the Company acquired  substantially all of the assets
and assumed certain liabilities of a manufacturing  facility located in Tijuana,
Mexico. This facility specializes in manufacturing  upscale wood and upholstered
seating for the lodging and  hospitality  markets.  The total purchase price for
this facility was approximately $500 thousand and was funded by the Company with
its available cash reserves.  The company used the purchase method of accounting
to account for this  acquisition  and recorded  goodwill of  approximately  $421
thousand relating to this acquisition.

Note 3 - Special and Nonrecurring Items

         During 1998,  the Company  recorded a pre-tax  charge of $4.7  million,
$2.9 million  after-tax,  related to  management's  decision to discontinue  and
dispose of the Company's  hotel  casegoods line of business.  The charge entails
the  writedown  of  assets,  including  goodwill,   inventories  and  equipment,
associated with the product line located in the Tijuana, Mexico facility. Of the
total charge,  cost of sales  includes a $3.3 million  charge to write-down  the
carrying  value of inventory.  The remaining  components of the charge have been
reported in special and  nonrecurring  items in the  Consolidated  Statement  of
Earnings  and are  related to  impairment  charges  and  reserves  for losses on
disposal of certain assets and exit costs for lease termination.

         In 1998,  the Company also recorded a $1.3 million  pre-tax gain,  $0.8
million after-tax,  on the sale of the Company's corporate headquarters building
during  1998,  which is  included  in special and  non-recurring  items,  in the
accompanying  Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The Company entered into a two
year lease agreement to lease back a portion of the premises,  and  accordingly,
the portion of the total $2.5 million gain representing the present value of the
operating  lease  payments,  approximately  $1.2  million,  was  deferred and is
included in other liabilities on the accompanying  Consolidated Balance Sheet as
of October 31, 1998. The deferred gain will be credited to income as a reduction
to rent expenses over the term of the lease.

         During the fourth quarter of 1998,  the Company  recorded an additional
pre-tax  charge  of  $0.2  million,  $0.1  million  after-tax,  related  to  the
consolidation  of the Company's  manufacturing  facilities that was announced in
1997.

         During 1997,  the Company  recorded a pre-tax  charge of $3.7  million,
$2.3 million  after-tax,  for special and nonrecurring  items. The charges are a
result of the  consolidation  of the Company's  manufacturing  operations at its
Anaheim,  California and Belding, Michigan facilities into its City of Industry,
California facility and the elimination of several duplicative and nonperforming
wood seating  product  lines.  These pre-tax  charges are recorded as a separate
line in the  Consolidated  Statements  of Earnings and included $3.0 million for
costs  associated with asset  write-downs and  dispositions and $0.7 million for
exit costs of leased facilities and employee severance and termination costs.


Note 4 - Discontinued Operations

         On September  8, 1997,  the Company  completed  the sale of its William
Hodges  division  (the Hodges  Division)  to Leggett & Platt,  Incorporated  for
approximately $17.7 million. The Hodges Division  manufactures wire shelving and
kitchen  equipment.  The sale resulted in a gain of approximately  $6.8 million,
net of applicable income taxes of $3.8 million.

         The  results of the Hodges  Division  for 1997  through the date of the
sale  (approximately  10.5  months) and for fiscal year 1996 are  classified  as
discontinued  operations in the accompanying  consolidated financial statements.
Earnings from the  discontinued  Hodges  Division were $938 thousand in 1997 and
$1,432  thousand in 1996,  net of  applicable  income taxes of $575 thousand and
$877  thousand,  respectively.  Net  revenues  from the Hodges  Division in 1997
through  the date of the sale were $7.8  million.  Hodges  Division  revenues in
fiscal year 1996 were $10.3 million.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements--(Continued)


         The minimum  annual  maturities of long-term  debt,  including  capital
lease  obligations,  are:  $1,607,  $16,985,  $52,  $54 and $57 thousand in 1999
through 2003, respectively, and $60 thousand thereafter.

         The Company has entered  into an interest  rate swap  agreement  with a
notional amount of $12.0 million.  The notional amount of the interest rate swap
does not represent  amounts  exchanged by the parties and thus, is not a measure
of the Company's  exposure  through its use of the interest rate swap agreement.
The amounts  exchanged are  determined  by reference to the notional  amount and
other terms of the contract.

         Management believes that the seller of the interest rate swap agreement
will be able to meet  its  obligation  under  the  agreement.  The  Company  has
policies  regarding  the  financial  stability  and  credit  standing  of  major
counterparties. Non-performance by the counterparty is not anticipated nor would
it have a material  adverse  effect on the results of  operations  or  financial
position of the Company.

Note 7 - Income Taxes

         The Company  accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109),  which requires income taxes to be
accounted for using a balance sheet approach known as the liability method.  The
liability  method accounts for deferred  income taxes by applying  statutory tax
rates in effect at the date of the balance sheet to differences between the book
and tax basis of assets and  liabilities.  Adjustments to deferred  income taxes
resulting from statutory rate changes flow through the tax provision in the year
of the change.

     The components of income tax expense are as follows:

Company's net operating loss  carryforward  of $2.2 million expires in 2013. The
Company's  income tax returns have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service
for fiscal years through 1994.

Note 8 - Stock Option and Stock Purchase Plans

         The Company has an employee  incentive  stock  option plan which allows
the Company to grant key employees  incentive and nonqualified  stock options to
purchase up to 1,100,000  shares of the Company's  common stock at not less than
the market price on the date of grant.  Options not exercised accumulate and are
exercisable,  in whole or in part, in any  subsequent  period but not later than
ten years from the date of grant.

         The  Company  also  has a  Non-Employee  Director  Stock  Option  Plan,
approved by the stockholders,  under which the Company annually grants an option
to purchase  1,650  shares of common  stock to each  director  who is neither an
officer of the  Company  nor  compensated  under any  employment  or  consulting
arrangements  ("Non-Employee  Director").  Under the plan,  the option  exercise
price is the fair market value of the Company's  common stock on the date of the
grant and the options are  exercisable,  on a cumulative  basis, at 20% per year
commencing on the date of the grant.

         The  Non-Employee  Director  Stock  Option Plan was amended in December
1998 to increase the number of shares  underlying the options granted from 1,650
to 2,000.

         The  Company  accounts  for the option  plans using APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly, no compensation expense
has been recognized relating to the stock options.

         Pro  forma  net  earnings  and net  earnings  per  common  share in the
following  table were  prepared as if the Company  had  accounted  for its stock
option plans under the fair market value method of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation."

         In 1998, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Under the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan,  employees may contribute up to 10% of their gross
income to purchase  stock of the Company at 85% of the lesser of the fair market
value on the grant date or the exercise date.

         During 1997, the Company had a Stock Purchase Plan under which eligible
employees  could  elect to  invest up to 10% of salary  earned  during  each pay
period and the Company  contributed an amount equal to 40% of each participant's
contributions. This plan was terminated at the end of fiscal 1997.

Note 9 - Earnings Per Share

         As  discussed  in Note 1 herein,  the Company  adopted  SFAS No. 128 in
1998.  In  accordance  with SFAS No. 128, the  following  tables  reconcile  net
earnings from continuing  operations and weighted average shares  outstanding to
the amounts used to calculate  basic and diluted  earnings per share for each of
the years ended 1998, 1997 and 1996.

</TABLE>


         Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing Earnings available to
common  stockholders by the weighted average shares of common stock  outstanding
during  the  year.  Diluted  Earnings  available  to  common   stockholders  was
determined  assuming the options issued and outstanding were exercised as of the
first day of the respective year of the grant date.  Options to purchase 386,850
shares at a weighted average exercise price of $14.23 per share,  155,400 shares
at a weighted  average  exercise price of $14.51 per share and 5,000 shares at a
weighted average exercise price of $14.50 were outstanding during 1998, 1997 and
1996,  respectively but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings
per share because the exercise  price was greater than the average  market price
of the common  stock.  As a result of  adoption  of SFAS No.  128,  the  Company
restated  reported  earnings per share for 1997 and 1996. This accounting change
had no impact of previously reported per share data.

Note 10 - Pension Plans

         The Company  has two  noncontributory  defined  benefit  pension  plans
covering certain hourly and substantially all salaried  domestic  personnel.  In
connection with the Howe acquisition, the Company acquired the curtailed pension
plan of Howe,  whose assets exceed the accumulated  benefits.  For the Company's
non-curtailed  plan,  normal  retirement  age is 65, but  provision  is made for
earlier  retirement.  Benefits are based on 1.5% of average annual  compensation
for each year of service.  Full vesting occurs upon  completion of five years of
service. Assets of the plan consist entirely of an investment in a group annuity
contract with an insurance company.

         The  following  actuarial  assumptions  were  used in  determining  the
Company's net periodic pension cost and projected benefit obligation:

              Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
                       Twenty-six Weeks Ended May 1, 1999

Note 1 - Interim Results

         The financial statements contained herein are unaudited. In the opinion
of management,  these financial  statements reflect all adjustments,  consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments,  which are necessary for fair presentation
of the  results  of the  interim  periods  presented.  Reference  is made to the
footnotes to the consolidated  financial  statements  contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  October 31, 1998,  filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2 - Business Acquisition

         The Company's  results for the thirteen and twenty-six  weeks ended May
1, 1999 include Howe Furniture Corporation and its subsidiaries  ("Howe").  Howe
was acquired  during March 1998,  and therefore  Howe's results of operation are
not  included  in  the  reported  results  for a  portion  of the  thirteen  and
twenty-six weeks ended May 2, 1998.

Note 3 - Comprehensive Income

         In  June  1997,  the  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  adopted
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards,  "Reporting  Comprehensive Income"
(SFAS) No. 130, which is the change in equity of a business  enterprise during a
period from  transactions  and other  events and  circumstances  from  non-owner
sources;  it  includes  all  changes in equity  during the period  except  those
resulting from investments by owners and  distribution to owners.  Comprehensive
income  is the  total  of all  components  of  comprehensive  income  and  other
comprehensive income, including net income. Other comprehensive income refers to
revenues,  expenses,  gains and losses  that under  GAAP are  excluded  from net
income.  Effective  November 1, 1998, the Company  adopted SFAS No. 130. For the
Company,   the  only  element  of  other  comprehensive   income  is  cumulative
translation  adjustments,  arising from the translation of certain balance sheet
accounts from local currency to functional  currency.  Comprehensive  income was
$2.1 million and $1.9  million for the thirteen  weeks ended May 1, 1999 and May
2, 1998, respectively and $3.7 million and $3.4 million for the twenty-six weeks
ended May 1, 1999 and May 2, 1998, respectively.

Note 4 - Subsequent Event

         On May 5, 1999, the Company entered into a merger  agreement to acquire
all of the  outstanding  shares of Shelby  Williams  Industries,  Inc.  ("Shelby
Williams") for $16.50 per share in cash. The aggregate purchase price, including
transaction costs, for the outstanding Shelby Williams common stock and the cost
of redemption of  outstanding  Shelby  Williams  stock options is expected to be
approximately  $149.3 million.  The acquisition will be funded by senior secured
credit  facilities  comprised  of a $70  million  term  loan  and a $50  million
revolving  credit  facility in addition to an offering of $100 million of senior
subordinated notes (at the closing,  it is expected that the outstanding current
revolver amount of $19.2 million will be paid off and that the term loan and the
notes will be drawn in full and the revolving  credit facility will be undrawn.)
The  Company's  domestic  subsidiaries  will  guarantee  the  notes  on a senior
subordinated basis.

         The  following  condensed  consolidating  financial  statements  of the
Company  include  the  combined   accounts  of  the  Company  and  its  domestic
subsidiaries and the combined  accounts of the foreign  subsidiaries.  Given the
size of the foreign  subsidiaries,  relative  to the  Company  and its  domestic
subsidiaries  on a  consolidated  basis,  separate  financial  statements of the
respective  Company and its  domestic  subsidiaries  are not  presented  because
management has determined that such information is not material in assessing the
Company and its domestic subsidiaries.

                         Report of Independent Auditors



The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Shelby Williams Industries, Inc.

         We have audited the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets of Shelby
Williams  Industries,  Inc.,  as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,  and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the three  years in the period  ended  December  31,  1998.  These  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these 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  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly, in all material respects,  the consolidated financial position of Shelby
Williams  Industries,   Inc.,  as  of  December  31,  1998  and  1997,  and  the
consolidated  results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the  period  ended  December  31,  1998 in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

         Shelby Williams designs,  manufactures and distributes products for the
contract  furniture  market.  The  Company  has a  significant  position  in the
hospitality and food service markets through its "Shelby Williams" seating line,
"King  Arthur" line of function  room  furniture  and "Sterno"  accessories.  It
serves the health care, university,  and other institutional markets through its
"Thonet" division with health care and university  furniture,  including chairs,
tables,  and other  institutional  products.  The  Company  also  processes  and
distributes vinyl wallcoverings for residential,  hotel and office use under the
name "Sellers & Josephson."

Principles of Consolidation

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany
items and  transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars and have been eliminated
in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

         Sales are recognized when the products are shipped.

Income Taxes

         Income tax expense  includes  Federal and state income taxes  currently
payable and deferred  taxes arising from temporary  differences  between the tax
bases of assets or  liabilities  and their  reported  amounts  in the  financial
statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

         Cash  equivalents  include  highly  liquid  investments,  with original
maturities  of three  months  or less,  that are  readily  convertible  to known
amounts of cash.

Inventories

         Inventories  are carried at the lower of cost or market,  determined by
the  last-in,   first-out  (LIFO)  method.  The  current   replacement  cost  of
inventories exceeded carrying value by approximately $10,828,000 at December 31,
1998 and $9,997,000 at December 31, 1997.

         As a result of the difference between the method of allocating the cost
of acquisitions in 1976, 1987 and 1988 for financial reporting purposes, and the
method used for income tax purposes,  the Company's tax basis in the inventories
is  approximately  $20,204,000 at December 31, 1998 and  $22,278,000 at December
31, 1997. Related 1998 disposition cost of $616,000 was not a deduction for tax.

Property, Plant and Equipment

         Depreciation  and  amortization  of  property,  plant and  equipment is
provided using the  straight-line  method over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets.

Post-employment Benefits

         The Company  provides  certain  post-employment  benefits.  Payments of
these benefits in the past have been infrequent and are not estimable,  thus the
Company records these benefits on an event basis.

Other Significant Accounting Policies

         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that affect the amounts  reported in the financial  statements  and
accompanying  notes.  As a result of  significant  deductibles  in its insurance
coverage for liability and worker's  compensation  claims,  the Company provides
amounts  which  management  believes  are  sufficient  to cover  the  associated
liabilities.

Commitments

Leases

         The Company leases certain  manufacturing  facilities  under  operating
leases which expire over the next seven years.  The Company also leases showroom
space under operating leases expiring over the next five years.

         Future minimum rental  payments  required under  operating  leases that
have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of
December 31, 1998 are:

                                                                    Year ending

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

         Total rental expense for all operating leases aggregated  $1,899,000 in
1998, $1,955,000 in 1997, and $1,912,000 in 1996.

Short-Term Borrowings

         The Company has unsecured  lines of credit  amounting to $20,000,000 at
interest  rates of prime or less. At December 31, 1998,  all of these lines were
unused.

Long-Term Debt

         Long-term  debt  at  December  31,  1998,  and  1997  consisted  of the
following:

                                                     1998            1997

         The terms of the senior note agreement contain certain restrictions. At
December 31, 1998, the Company was in compliance with all such restrictions. The
final  $863,000 of a capitalized  lease  obligation was discharged by assignment
with sale of the related facility in August 1996.

Stock Option Plans

         Under the Company's  incentive  stock option plan and directors'  stock
option plan,  options are granted to key employees and directors to purchase the
Company's  common stock at not less than fair market value at date of grant.  At
December 31, 1998 and 1997, there were 276,000 and 308,000 shares, respectively,
reserved for issuance under the plans.  Of options  granted,  20,000 in 1997 and
16,000 in 1996 have five year terms and vest and become fully exercisable at the
end of six months  service.  The remaining  options granted in 1997 and 1996 and
all of the  options  granted  in 1998 have five year  terms and vest and  become
exercisable  in 1/3  increments  after 15  months,  30  months,  and 45  months,
respectively, of continued employment.

         The intrinsic value method is used in accounting for stock-based awards
under the  Company's  stock  option  plans.  Because the  exercise  price of the
Company's  stock  options at least  equals the market  price of  the  underlying
stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

         A  summary  of  the  Company's  stock  option  activity,   and  related
information for years ended December 31 follows:

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements--(Continued)


         The fair value for these  options  was  estimated  at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes  option pricing model with the following  weighted-average
assumptions for 1996, 1997 and 1998,  respectively:  risk-free interest rates of
6.5%, 6.2% and 5.3%; dividend yields of 2.7%, 2.6% and 2.2%;  volatility factors
of the expected market price of the Company's  common stock of .32, .31 and .35;
and a weighted-average expected life of the option of five years.

         The  effect  of  applying  the  fair  value  method  to  the  Company's
stock-based  awards  results in net income and  earnings  per share that are not
materially different from amounts reported. The assumed dilutive effect of stock
options,  which were the only dilutive securities  outstanding in 1998, 1997 and
1996, was 30,000, 52,000 and 33,000 shares, respectively.

Restructuring Charge

         Due to increases in lumber prices and increased  competition  primarily
from   imported   products,   the  Company  made  changes  in  its  product  and
manufacturing strategies during December 1994, designed to make the Company more
competitive  in the  industry.  The plan  was to exit  certain  portions  of the
Company's   enterprise  by  selling  an  upholstery   business  with  a  related
manufacturing  facility  and  discontinuing  a part of the product  lines in the
health  care,  university  and office  markets,  resulting in closure of another
plant.  The Company  anticipated  completing the  restructuring  by December 31,
1995;  however,  the sale of the  upholstery  business was not  completed  until
August 1996.

         At December 31, 1995, accrued liabilities  included $439,000 related to
the plan.  These costs were paid and  charged  against  the  liability  in 1996,
completing  the  plan.  In  1996,  revenues  and net  operating  income  for the
upholstery   business  that  was  sold  amounted  to  $5,858,000  and  $182,000,
respectively.

Discontinued Operations

         On  July  14,  1998,   the  Company's   Board  of  Directors   approved
management's  plan to  discontinue  the  Company's  distribution  operations  of
textile and floor covering products  manufactured by outside  suppliers.  Of the
two businesses comprising these operations, one was sold and one was liquidated.
The plan was completed in December,  1998.  During the second  quarter 1998, the
Company recorded a loss on the disposition of these operations of $9,698,000, or
$7,081,000  after  taxes,  including a provision  for losses  prior to disposal,
which is summarized below:

      Reduction of inventory value..........................   $  4,706,000

         The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been restated
to reflect the results of  operations  and net assets of these  operations  as a
discontinued   operation  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted   accounting
principles.  The losses recorded on the disposition of these operations were not
materially  different from those incurred on the actual amounts  realized in the
sale and liquidation process.

Retirement Plans

of its  employees in the United  States.  These plans held 66,000  shares of the

Operating Segments

         The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board has  issued  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information".  Applying the criteria from this statement,
the Company has three  segments.  The hotel and food service  furniture  segment
manufactures and distributes  chairs,  tables,  and guest,  banquet and function
room  furnishings,   along  with  specialty  items  for  banquet  use,  for  the
hospitality market. The healthcare and university furniture segment produces and
markets seating products used for healthcare, university and other institutional
facilities.  The wall coverings  segment  processes and  distributes  vinyl wall
coverings for the hospitality and other markets.

         The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described
in the summary of significant accounting policies. Cash and cash equivalents are
considered  corporate  assets  and  interest  expense  and  interest  income are
unallocated.  Intersegment  sales are not  significant.  The  Company  evaluates
performance based on income before income taxes.

         The  Company's   segments  are  strategic  business  units  that  offer
different  products or serve  different  markets.  They are  managed  separately
because each requires different technology and marketing  strategies,  which are
coordinated to the extent practical.

                                                                 $  7,081,000
                                                                 ============

         The  operating  results of the  discontinued  operations  for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, are summarized as follows:

 Net sales...................................................    $  3,534,000

         The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been restated
to reflect the results of  operations  and net assets of these  operations  as a
discontinued   operation  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted   accounting
principles.  The losses recorded on the disposition of these operations were not
materially  different from those incurred on the actual amounts  realized in the
sale and liquidation process.

Interim Results

         The attached unaudited statements include all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management,  necessary to a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods  presented.  Except as indicated above, all such adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature.

                   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA


         On June 18, 1999, Falcon Products,  Inc. (the "Company")  completed its
acquisition  (the  "Acquisition")  of all of the  outstanding  capital  stock of
Shelby Williams Industries,  Inc. ("Shelby  Williams").  In order to finance the
Acquisition,  the Company consummated a series of transactions including (i) the
issuance  of  $100,000,000   aggregate   principal   amount  of  11-3/8%  Senior
Subordinated  Notes due 2009, Series A; (ii) a credit agreement with DLJ Capital
Funding,  Inc.  and  certain  lenders  providing  for  an  aggregate  of  up  to
$70,000,000 under an amortizing term loan facility and up to $50,000,000 under a
revolving  credit  facility  (the  "Senior  Credit  Facilities");  and (iii) the
refinancing of certain existing  indebtedness of the Company and Shelby Williams
(collectively, the "Transactions").

         The following  unaudited pro forma combined financial data presents the
pro forma  combined  balance  sheet of the  Company  as of May 1, 1999 as if the
Transactions  had occurred on May 1, 1999,  and presents the pro forma  combined
statements of operations data of the Company for the periods presented as if the
Transactions  had occurred on November 2, 1997. The unaudited pro forma combined
financial data is based on the historical  consolidated  financial statements of
the Company and the adjusted  historical  consolidated  financial  statements of
Shelby Williams,  and on the assumptions and adjustments  described in the notes
to such  unaudited pro forma  combined  financial  data,  including  assumptions
relating to the allocation of the consideration  paid for Shelby Williams to the
assets and  liabilities of Shelby  Williams  based on  preliminary  estimates of
their respective fair values.  The actual  allocation of such  consideration may
differ from that reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined  financial  data.
Amounts  allocated  will be based upon the estimated  fair values at the time of
the  Acquisition  of Shelby  Williams  which could vary  significantly  from the
amounts  assumed.  In addition,  the interest rates on the borrowings  under the
Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities,  and the  estimated  transaction  fees  and
expenses,  are assumed  solely for the purpose of  presenting  the unaudited pro
forma combined  financial data set forth below. The actual interest rates on the
borrowings  under the Senior Credit  Facilities and actual  transaction fees and
expenses may differ from assumptions set forth below.

         The  consolidated  statements of operations of Shelby  Williams for the
year ended October 31, 1998 and the  twenty-six  weeks ended May 1, 1999 reflect
adjustments  to the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1998 and the fiscal  quarter
ended March 31, 1999  historical  financial  data of Shelby  Williams to conform
such  financial  data to the fiscal year end and most recent  fiscal  quarter of
Falcon. As a result, the consolidated statement of operations of Shelby Williams
for the year ended  October 31, 1998 was derived by adding the monthly  activity
for November  and December  1997 to, and  subtracting  the monthly  activity for
November  and  December  1998  from,  the  audited  consolidated   statement  of
operations  of Shelby  Williams  for the fiscal year ended  December  31,  1998.
Likewise,  the  consolidated  statement of operations of Shelby Williams for the
twenty-six  weeks ended May 1, 1999 was  derived by adding the monthly  activity
for November  1998,  December 1998 and April 1999 to the unaudited  consolidated
statement of  operations of Shelby  Williams for the fiscal  quarter ended March
31, 1999. The consolidated  statement of operations for the latest twelve months
ended May 1, 1999 and the  consolidated  balance sheet of Shelby  Williams as of
May 1, 1999 were derived  from  unaudited  monthly  financial  statements.  Such
monthly  statements do not reflect all adjustments which are customarily made at
the end of each fiscal quarter.  We believe that the effect of such adjustments,
if made, would not be material.

         In  connection  with  the  Acquisition  of  Shelby  Williams,  we  have
identified  estimated  annual cost savings on a pro forma basis of approximately
$0.4 million related to duplicate  public company costs,  which cost savings are
reflected in the unaudited pro forma  financial  data as adjustments to selling,
general and  administrative  expenses.  Management expects that the Company will
begin to realize a portion of the benefit of the cost savings described above in
the  fiscal  quarter  after the  closing  of the  Acquisition.  Management  also
believes that the Company will be able to realize  additional  cost savings as a
result of the Acquisition which have not been included in the pro forma combined
financial data. A significant portion of the benefit of such cost savings is not
expected to be realized until the end of fiscal year 2003.  Such additional cost
savings do not qualify as pro forma adjustments under Regulation S-X promulgated
under the Securities Act.

         We completed the  Transactions  in the third fiscal quarter of 1999. We
do not expect to record any material  charges in connection with the refinancing
of existing indebtedness.

         The  unaudited  pro forma  combined  financial  data do not  purport to
represent what our financial  position and results of operations would have been
if the  Transactions  had actually been completed as of the dates  indicated and
are not intended to project our financial  position or results of operations for
any future period.

         The  unaudited  pro forma  combined  financial  data  should be read in
conjunction with the respective historical  consolidated financial statements of
the Company and Shelby Williams and the related notes thereto which are included
herein.

          Total purchase price.........................     $ 149,300
                                                            =========

Preliminary Allocation:
     Cash and cash equivalents.........................     $   8,793
     Accounts receivable, net..........................        24,839
     Inventories.......................................        34,183

     Accounts payable and other current liabilities....       (32,237)
     Other long-term liabilities.......................        (2,014)
                                                            ----------
     Subtotal (fair value of net assets acquired)......        65,205
     Goodwill (excess of purchase price over fair
       value of net assets acquired)...................        84,095
                                                            ---------
          Total purchase price.........................     $ 149,300
                                                            =========
- -------------------------

         *All  outstanding  options were purchased by Shelby  Williams  directly
from the  optionees  at a price  equal to the  excess,  if any, of the per share
purchase  price offered in the Stock Tender Offer over the exercise price of the
option in question, multiplied by the number of shares covered by the option.

         We are currently in the process of allocating  the purchase price among
the tangible and  intangible  assets to be acquired  and the  liabilities  to be
assumed.  The  final  purchase  price  and  its  allocation  will  be  based  on
independent  appraisals,   discounted  cash  flows,  quoted  market  prices  and
estimates  by  management  which are  expected to be  completed  within one year
following the  Acquisition.  Upon  completion of the purchase  price  allocation
process,  to the extent the  purchase  price  exceeds  the fair value of the net
identifiable  tangible  and  intangible  assets  acquired,  such  excess will be
allocated to goodwill and amortized over approximately forty years.

         (3) Represents the addition of deferred taxes, at an effective tax rate
of 38.0%,  at Shelby Williams due to the adjustment of assets and liabilities to
equal fair value.

         (4) Represents the portion of estimated  transaction  fees and expenses
attributable to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Original Notes and the
New Notes which will be recorded as deferred  financing costs and amortized over
the life of the debt to be issued.

         (5) Represents the accrual of additional costs and expenses  associated
with  the  Acquisition  of  Shelby  Williams,   primarily  related  to  facility
rationalization and other integration costs.

         (6) Represents the repayment of revolving  credit  borrowings and other
debt under the existing credit facilities.

         (7)  Represents  the issuance of the Original  Notes and the  long-term
portion of the term loan under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

         (8) Represents the elimination of the historical  stockholders'  equity
of Shelby Williams as required by purchase accounting.

         (9) Represents the inventory  write-up at Shelby  Williams  relating to
inventory costing.  Shelby Williams'  inventory is stated at last-in,  first-out
(LIFO) cost. This  adjustment  costs  inventory at first-in,  first-out  (FIFO),
which approximates fair market value.

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
                                 (In thousands)

         The unaudited  pro forma  combined  statements of operations  have been
prepared as if the  Transactions had occurred on November 2, 1997. The following
adjustments were recorded:

         (1) Represents results of continuing operations.

         (2) Represents  the  amortization  of  goodwill   associated  with  the
             Acquisition  of Shelby  Williams  over forty years  ($2,102 for the
             latest twelve months ended May 1, 1999,  $1,051 for the  twenty-six
             weeks  ended May 1,  1999 and  $2,102  for the  fiscal  year  ended
             October 31, 1998).

         (3) Represents  interest  expense  based on pro forma debt of $170,000,
             comprised  of $100,000 of New Notes and $70,000 of senior debt at a
             blended  interest rate of 9.8%. The effect of a 0.125%  increase in
             interest  rates would result in an increase in interest  expense of
             $213 for the latest twelve  months ended May 1, 1999,  $106 for the
             twenty-six  weeks  ended May 1, 1999 and $213 for the  fiscal  year
             ended October 31, 1998.

         (4) Represents the  amortization of debt issuance costs associated with
             the  Transactions  ($817 for the latest  twelve months ended May 1,
             1999, $408 for the twenty-six  weeks ended May 1, 1999 and $817 for
             the fiscal year ended  October 31, 1998) over a period of six years
             to the extent  such  deferred  costs and fees  relate to the Senior
             Secured  Credit  Facilities  and over ten years to the extent  such
             deferred costs and fees relate to the New Notes.

         (5) Represents  the tax effect of the  adjustments  at an effective tax
             rate of approximately 38% (excluding goodwill amortization).

         (6) EBITDA for any period is  calculated  as the sum of net income plus
             the following to the extent deducted in calculating net income: (a)
             interest expense, (b) income tax expense, (c) depreciation expense,
             (d)  amortization  expense and (e) special  one-time  charges.  See
             "Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
             Results of  Operations"  for a discussion of such special  one-time
             charges.  We  consider  EBITDA  to be a widely  accepted  financial
             indicator  of a company's  ability to service  debt,  fund  capital
             expenditures  and  expand  its  business;  however,  EBITDA  is not
             calculated  in the  same  way by all  companies  and is  neither  a
             measurement  required,  nor represents cash flow from operations as
             defined, by generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA should
             not be considered by an investor as an  alternative  to net income,
             as an indicator of operating  performance  or as an  alternative to
             cash flow as a measure of liquidity.  The calculation of EBITDA for
             purposes  of  the  financial   information   presented   herein  is
             calculated differently than for purposes of the covenants under the
             Indenture and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. See "Prospectus
             Summary--The  Transactions--The  Acquisition,"  "Description of the
             Senior Secured Credit Facilities" and "Description of New Notes."

         (7) Represents the annualized  costs savings  associated with combining
             two public  companies by eliminating  duplicate costs (estimated to
             be  approximately  $377 for the latest  twelve  months ended May 1,
             1999, $188 for the twenty-six  weeks ended May 1, 1999 and $377 for
             the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998).

         (8) Represents the elimination of intercompany sales between Falcon and
             Shelby Williams and the related cost of sales.

         (9) For purposes of computing  the ratio of earnings to fixed  charges,
             earnings  include net earnings  plus fixed  charges.  Fixed charges
             consist of interest expense, a portion of rental expense (deemed by
             management to be  representative  of the interest  factor of rental
             payments) and amortization of debt issuance costs.
