1.    These financial statements do not include certain information and
      footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
      complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all
      adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
      included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the
      nine month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
      the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000.

2.    The inventories are categorized as follows:

3. In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards board issued Statement No. 128,
EARNINGS PER SHARE (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 replaced the calculation of primary and
fully diluted 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER - Net sales for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 increased by $6,358,000 or 9.3% compared to the prior year quarter.
Residential seating sales volume increased $3,826,000 or 9.4%. Recreational
vehicle seating sales increased $2,765,000 or 12.0%. Commercial seating volume
decreased $233,000 or 4.7%.

Gross margin increased $844,818 to $16,587,926 or 22.1% of net sales in the
current year, from $15,743,108 or 22.9% of net sales in the prior year. The
gross margin percentage decrease was due primarily to increases in fixed cost
related to facility expansion, equipment for additional production capacity, and
start-up operations in Dunkirk, Indiana and Harrison, Arkansas.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 16.1%
and 16.8% for the current year and prior year, respectively. The cost percentage
decrease was due to improved absorption of fixed costs.

The above factors resulted in current fiscal year earnings of $2,942,949 or
$0.45 per diluted share compared to $2,829,653 or $0.41 per diluted share in the
prior year, a net increase of $113,296 or $0.04 per share.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE LAST NINE MONTHS - Net sales for the nine-months
ended March 31, 2000 increased by $21,834,000 or 11.4% compared to the prior
year nine-month period. Residential seating sales volume increased $14,540,000
or 12.9%. Recreational vehicle seating sales increased $9,751,000 or 15.7%.
Commercial seating volume decreased $2,457,000 or 14.8%.

Gross margin increased $4,161,584 to $47,194,909 or 22.1% of sales, in the
current year, from $43,033,325 or 22.5% in the prior year. The gross margin
percentage decrease was due primarily to facility expansion to meet product
demand and opening new production facilities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 16.6%
and 17.2% for the current year and prior year, respectively. The cost percentage
decrease was due to improved absorption of fixed costs.


<PAGE>


Net income for the current year nine-months ended March 31, 2000 includes a net
gain (after tax) of $790,000, or $0.12 per share, on the sale of land and
$405,000, or $0.06 per share, from nontaxable proceeds of life insurance.

The above factors resulted in current fiscal year earnings of $8,897,118 or
$1.35 per diluted share compared to $6,821,304 or $0.99 per diluted share in the
prior year, a net increase of $2,075,814 or $0.36 per diluted share. Excluding
the sale of land and life insurance proceeds in the current year, net earnings
for the nine-months ended March 31, 2000, improved $0.18 per share over the
prior nine-month period.
