     Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing earnings
available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares of
common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings available
to common stockholders was determined assuming the options issued and
outstanding were exercised as of the first day of the respective period.
Outstanding options to purchase shares were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share if the exercise price was
greater than the average market price of the common stock.

Note 7 - Guarantor Subsidiaries

     In June 1999, the Company entered into a new $120.0 million senior
secured credit facility (the "Senior Secured Credit Facility") with a
group of financial institutions which provided for a six year term loan
of $70.0 million and a six year revolving credit facility of up to $50.0
million.

     All of the Company's domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the
Senior Secured Credit Facility.  A first priority security interest in
substantially all of the Company's properties and assets of its domestic
subsidiaries, including a pledge of all of the stock of the Company's
domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the stock of its foreign subsidiaries,
secures the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

     The Company's senior subordinated notes are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured, senior subordinated basis by
each subsidiary of the Company (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") other than
Howe Europe a/s, Falcon Products (Shenzhen) Limited, Falcon Mimon, a.s.,
Falcon De Juarez, S.A. de C.V., Falcon De Baja California, S.A. de C.V.
and Industrial Mueblera Shelby Williams, S.A. de C.V. (the "Non-
Guarantor Subsidiaries").  Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-
Guarantor

Thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2000, compared to the thirteen weeks
ended May 1, 1999

     Net earnings were $2.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal
2000, compared to $2.0 million in the same period of fiscal 1999.
Increased operating profit from revenue growth was largely offset by
increased interest charges related to indebtedness incurred by the
Company to finance the Shelby Williams acquisition, which occurred in
June 1999.  Net earnings per share were $.27 in 2000, and $.23 in 1999,
an increase of 17.4%.  Weighted average shares outstanding increased to
8.8 million shares in the second quarter of 2000, from 8.7 million
shares in the second quarter of 1999.

     Net sales for the second quarter of 2000 were $79.5 million, an
increase of 118.1% over the 1999 second quarter net sales of $36.5
million.  This increase was primarily due to additional sales generated
by Shelby Williams.

     Cost of sales was $58.2 million for the 2000 second quarter, an
increase of 125.8% from $25.8 million in the second quarter of 1999.
The increase was primarily the result of increased sales volume
generated by Shelby Williams.  Gross margin increased to $21.3 million
for the second quarter of 2000, from $10.7 million in the same quarter
of 1999.  Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 26.8% in 2000,
compared to 29.3% in 1999.  This decrease was primarily attributed to
the combining of the Shelby Williams' businesses, as Shelby Williams
earned a lower margin than the Company's historical business, partially
offset by cost-reduction efficiencies achieved by combining the two
companies.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.0 million in
the second quarter of 2000, compared to $7.2 million in the second
quarter of 1999.  The increase was primarily attributable to volume
associated with Shelby Williams.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales were 16.3% for the second quarter
of 2000, compared to 19.8% for the second quarter of 1999.  The decrease
in the expense rate was primarily due to the acquisition of Shelby
Williams, which historically operated with a lower selling, general and
administrative expense structure than that of the Company's.  The
decline also reflected cost savings gained through the integration of
Falcon and Shelby Williams.

     Interest expense and other for the second quarter of 2000 was $4.2
million, compared to $.3 million in the second quarter of 1999.  The
increase was associated with financing costs related to the Shelby
Williams acquisition.

     The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2000 was
42.6% compared to 37.5% for the second quarter of 1999.  The higher rate
included goodwill amortization associated with the acquisition of Shelby
Williams.

Twenty-six weeks ended April 29, 2000, compared to the twenty-six weeks
ended May 1, 1999

     Net earnings were $4.4 million in the first half of 2000, compared
to $3.8 million in the same period of 1999.  Increased operating profit
from revenue growth was largely offset by increased interest charges
related to indebtedness incurred by the Company to finance the Shelby
Williams acquisition.  Net earnings per share were $.50 for the twenty-
six week period ending April 29, 2000, and $.43 for the period ending
May 1, 1999, an increase of 16.3%.  Weighted average shares outstanding
decreased to 8.8 million shares in the first half of 2000, from 9.0
million shares in the first half of 1999.

     Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ending April 29, 2000 increased
117.6% to $154.6 million, over the 1999 same-period net sales of $71.1
million.  This increase was primarily due to additional sales generated
by Shelby Williams.

     Cost of sales was $112.0 million for the first half of 2000, an
increase of 121.9% from $50.5 million in the first half of 1999.  The
increase was primarily the result of increased sales volume generated by
Shelby Williams.  Gross margin increased to $42.6 million for the first
half of 2000, from $20.6 million in the same period of 1999.  Gross
margin as a percentage of net sales was 27.6% in 2000, compared to 29.0%
in 1999.  This decrease was primarily attributed to the combining of the
Shelby Williams'

businesses, as Shelby Williams earned a lower margin than the Company's
historical business, partially offset by cost-reduction efficiencies

decline also reflected cost savings gained through the integration of
Falcon and Shelby Williams.

     Interest expense and other for the first half of 2000 was $8.6
million, compared to $.6 million in the first half of 1999.  The
increase was associated with financing costs related to the Shelby
Williams acquisition.

     The effective income tax rate for the first half of 2000 was 43.4%
compared to 37.7% for the first half of 1999.  The higher rate included
goodwill amortization associated with the acquisition of Shelby
Williams.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's working capital at April 29, 2000, was $42.3 million
and its ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.7 to 1.0,
compared with $46.8 million and 1.8 to 1.0 at October 30, 1999.

     The Company has a $50.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit
agreement with a group of financial institutions.  The revolving line of
credit bears annual interest, at the Company's option, equal to the
Prime Rate, Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR in each case adjusted for a
spread based on the Company's leverage ratio.  As of April 29, 2000,
there was no outstanding balance under the revolving line of credit.

     The Company expects that it will meet its ongoing working capital
and capital requirements from a combination of existing cash, internally
generated funds and available borrowings under its revolving credit
facility.  The Company's operating cash flows constitute its primary
internal source of liquidity.
