and restrict payment of dividends. Unrestricted retained earnings
available for dividends at March 31, 1994 were approximately $153.9.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
The Company's previously issued financial statements have been restated to
reflect pooling of interests acquisitions completed in 1993. Therefore,
the following discussion and analysis reflects the Company's capital
resources and liquidity and results of operations as restated for these
acquisitions.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
-------------------------------
The Company's employment of debt and equity capital at March 31, 1994 and
December 31, 1993 is shown in millions of dollars in the table below.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
March 31, December 31,
1994 1993
---------- ------------
<S> <C> <C>
Long-term debt outstanding:
Scheduled maturities $ 114.8 $ 122.3
Revolving credit 39.7 43.5
---------- -----------
Total long-term debt 154.5 165.8
Shareholders' equity 541.8 515.6
Unused committed credit 120.3 116.5
Cash and cash equivalents .8 .4
</TABLE>
Capital investments to modernize and expand capacity internally were
$13.5 million, net of proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment
in the first quarter of 1994. In addition, long-term debt outstanding
was reduced by $11.3 million during the quarter. Debt with scheduled
maturities was reduced by $7.5 million and revolving bank debt was reduced
by $3.8 million.
Working capital at March 31, 1994 was $285.1 million, up from $269.4
million at the end of 1993. Total current assets increased $32.9 million,
due primarily to an increase in accounts and notes receivable. This
increase primarily reflected higher first quarter sales. Total current
liabilities increased $17.2 million, which also primarily reflected
higher sales and production volumes. There was no short-term debt
outstanding at quarter-end or year-end.
Results of Operations
---------------------
The Company had record first quarter earnings of $.63 per share in 1994.
Sales for the quarter were a record $434.6 million. Compared with the
first quarter of 1993, earnings per share increased 31% on a 20% increase
in sales. This marked the ninth consecutive quarter the Company achieved
year-to-year new highs in earnings per share and sales.
<PAGE>
Economic conditions continued to improve during this year's first quarter.
However, overall business activity was adversely affected early in 1994
by severe winter weather and the California earthquake. In some parts of
the country, businesses were closed or operated with shortened hours for
several days. Despite these temporary adversities, consumer demand for
durable goods, including furniture and bedding, generally improved. The
Company's sales growth reflected these economic conditions, plus a
continuing benefit from acquisitions. Excluding acquisitions accounted
for as purchases, first quarter sales increased 9% over the same period a
year earlier. This increase reflected higher unit volumes and modestly
higher prices on some products that were implemented in the second and
third quarters of 1993.
The Company's growth in earnings exceeded sales growth in all of the last
nine quarters, as year-to-year comparisons of net profit margins remained
favorable. In 1994, the net profit margin was 6.0% of first quarter
sales. This compares with 5.4% in the same quarter of 1993 and 5.6% for
the full year.
The following table shows various measures of earnings, as a percentage
of sales, for the first quarter in both of the last two years. It also
shows the Company's effective income tax rate in both quarters.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Quarter Ended March 31,
------------------------
1994 1993
----------- -----------
<S> <C> <C>
Gross profit margin 22.7% 22.7%
Pre-tax profit margin 9.8 8.8
Net profit margin 6.0 5.4
Effective income tax rate 39.3 38.9
</TABLE>
As shown above, the Company's gross profit margin was unchanged from the
first quarter of 1993. All of the cost increases for raw materials
experienced in 1993 have not been passed on by the Company in its selling
prices. Therefore, as anticipated, gross profit margins in affected
product lines continue to reflect some cost/price pressure. LIFO expense,
which is an indicator of inflation in cost of goods sold, reduced the
Company's gross profit margin by 0.3% in the first quarter of 1994. In
1993, LIFO expense reduced gross profit margins by 0.1% in the first
quarter and 0.2% for the full year.
The increase in the Company's pre-tax profit margin primarily reflected
improved operating expense ratios. Administrative, selling and
distribution expenses were kept under tight control and declined as a
percentage of first quarter sales. In addition, interest expense and
other deductions (net of other income) decreased as a percentage of sales.
These favorable factors were partially offset by a somewhat higher
effective income tax rate in 1994. The higher tax rate primarily
reflected the increase in corporate federal income tax rates in the third
quarter of 1993.
