NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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 three month period ended December 31, 1999 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 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.

and $4,080,000 in fiscal 1999. The current year expenditures were incurred
primarily for manufacturing and delivery equipment and the expansion of our
Riverside, California facility. During the next six months approximately
$2,750,000 will be spent on manufacturing equipment, leasehold improvements and
the completion of the expansion project in California. The Company has leased a
90,000 square foot residential furniture production facility in Harrison,
Arkansas and a 30,000 square foot vehicle seating production facility in
Dunkirk, Indiana. Both of these facilities are scheduled to begin production
