NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. The accompanying financial statements, which are unaudited, have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a consistent basis, which is consistent with that followed in
the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1998. The statements
include all adjustments (comprised of only normal recurring adjustments)
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of
the financial position and results of operations and cash flows, prepared
on a summary basis, as of such dates and for the stated dates then ended.
The results of operations for the nine month period ended March 31, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for
the year ending June 30, 1999.
2. The inventories are categorized as follows:

128, EARNINGS PER SHARE (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 replaced the calculation of
primary and fully dilated earnings per share with basic and diluted
earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per
share excludes any dilutive effects of stock options. All earnings per
share amounts for all periods have been presented and, where appropriate,
restated to conform to the SFAS 128 requirements.

</TABLE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER - Net sales for the quarter ended March
31, 1999 increased by $6,525,000 or 10.5% compared to the prior year quarter.
Residential sales volume increased $3,627,000 or 9.8%. Recreational vehicle
seating sales increased $3,540,000 or 18.2%. Commercial seating volume decreased
$642,000 or 11.4%.
Gross margin increased $1,970,203 to $15,743,108 or 22.9% of net sales, in the
current year, from $13,772,905 or 22.2% in the prior year. The gross margin
percentage increase was due primarily to improved utilization of available
production capacity.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were
16.8% and 17.2% for the current year and prior year, respectively. The cost
percentage decrease was due to absorption of fixed costs.
The above factors resulted in current quarter net income of $2,829,653 or $0.41
per share (diluted) compared to $2,106,070 or $0.30 per share (diluted) in the
prior year, a net increase of $723,583 or $0.11 per share.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE LAST NINE MONTHS - Net sales for the nine-months
ended March 31, 1999 increased by $17,734,000 or 10.2% compared to the prior
year nine-month period. Residential sales volume increased $9,960,000 or 9.7%.
Recreational vehicle seating sales increased $6,978,000 or 12.7%. Commercial
seating volume increased $796,000 or 5.0%.
Gross margin increased $6,021,442 to $43,033,325 or 22.5% of net sales, in the
current year, from $37,011,883 or 21.3% in the prior year. The gross margin
percentage increase was due primarily to improved utilization of available
production capacity.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were
17.2% and 17.6% for the current year and prior year, respectively. The cost
percentage decrease was due to absorption of fixed costs.
<PAGE>
The nine months ended March 31, 1998 included non-taxable other income of
$720,000, or $0.10 per share, from life insurance proceeds which resulted in
higher net other income, as well as, a lower effective tax rate.
The above factors resulted in current fiscal year net income of $6,821,304 or
$0.99 per share (diluted) compared to $5,235,975 or $0.75 per share (diluted) in
the prior year, a net increase of $1,585,329 or $0.24 per share. Excluding the
life insurance proceeds reported in the prior year, net earnings for the
nine-months ended March 31, 1999, improved $0.34 per share (diluted) or 52% over
the prior year nine-month period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Working capital at March 31, 1999 is $51,222,000 which includes cash, cash
equivalents and investments of $13,726,000. Working capital increased by
$673,000 from the June 30, 1998 amount. Net cash provided by operating
activities was $8,349,000 during the first nine months of fiscal year 1999
versus $7,634,000 in the first nine months of fiscal year 1998.
Capital expenditures were $6,295,000 and $2,184,000 during the first nine months
of fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. The current year expenditures were
incurred primarily for manufacturing and delivery equipment and the expansion of
our Dublin, Georgia facility. During the next three months approximately
$2,700,000 will be spent on manufacturing equipment and facility additions
including completion of the expansion project in Georgia. The funds for
projected capital expenditures are expected to be provided by cash generated
from operations and available cash.
On November 4, 1998 the Company approved a plan to repurchase up to 700,000
shares, or slightly more than 10% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The
Company will make purchases, from time to time, in the open market as the
Company deems appropriate. Under this authorization, 138,850 shares of common
stock have been repurchased to date.
Year 2000 Issue - The Company has been modifying its computer information
systems relating to the year 2000 and beyond. The Company has also reviewed its
computer-dependent manufacturing activities and changes are being made. The
Company expects its year 2000 conversion projects to be completed by June 30,
1999. The conversion costs are not expected to be material to the financial
statements, and will be accomplished using existing employees. The Company is
communicating with major suppliers to emphasize our expectation that operations
must continue without interruption after January 1, 2000. However, there can be
no assurances that systems of other companies, on which the Company's systems
rely, will be converted in a timely manner or that any failure to convert by
another company would not have an adverse effect on the Company's system.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION FOR THE
PURPOSE OF "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION
REFORM ACT OF 1995
The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral
forward-looking statements with respect to goals and expectations of the

Statements, including those in this report, which are not historical or current
facts are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are
certain important factors that could cause results to differ materially from
those anticipated by some of the statements made herein. Investors are cautioned
that all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty. Some of the
factors that could affect results are the effectiveness of new product
introductions, the product mix of our sales, the cost of raw materials, the
amount of sales generated and the profit margins thereon or volatility in the
major markets, competition and general conditions.
<PAGE>
The Company specifically declines to undertake any obligation to publicly revise
any forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of
anticipated or unanticipated events.
