                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Pilliod Holding Company
    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pilliod
Holding Company as of January 31, 1994, May 1, 1993 and May 2, 1992, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the nine month period ended January 31, 1994 and the years ended May
1, 1993 and May 2, 1992. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. 


    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 


    As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, subsequent
to the original issuance of the financial statements referred to above, it was
discovered that work in process inventory accounts were misstated. The
accompanying restated financial statements give effect to the adjustment of such
misstatements. 


    In our opinion, the restated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Pilliod
Holding Company at January 31, 1994, May 1, 1993 and May 2, 1992 and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine month
period ended January 31, 1994 and the years ended May 1, 1993 and May 2, 1992 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 


    As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in the
nine month period ended January 31, 1994 the Company changed its method of
accounting for income taxes. As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," prior year financial
statements were restated.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                    (Dollars in thousands except per share)


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    Effective prior to the start of business on January 31, 1994, all issued and
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock were acquired by LADD
Furniture, Inc. (LADD) (the "Acquisition") (see Note 3). The consolidated
financial statements include all transactions which occurred prior to the 
closing of the Acquisition. All operations of the Company on January 31, 
1994 were for the benefit of LADD. 


    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pilliod
Holding Company (Company) and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, The
Pilliod Cabinet Company (Cabinet Company). Prior to the Acquisition, the
Company's fiscal year ended on the Saturday nearest April 30. 


INVENTORIES 


    Inventories are valued at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or
market. 


DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION 


    Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment are provided
over the estimated useful lives of the assets using both straight-line and
declining balance methods. 


    Goodwill, which arose at the time of the March 19, 1985 acquisition of
Cabinet Company, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. 


PROFIT SHARING PLAN 


    Substantially all of the Company's employees are participants in a profit
sharing plan. Contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Board of
Directors. Contributions of $110 were made in fiscal 1994; no contributions were
made in fiscal years 1993 or 1992.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

CHANGE IN METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

    In the nine month period ended January 31, 1994, the Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes," ("SFAS No. 109"). As permitted by the Statement, prior year
financial statements were restated effective with the March 19, 1985 acquisition
of Cabinet Company. Previous accounting rules required that assets acquired in a
business combination be recorded at their net-of-tax value and allowed the tax
effects to be discounted. SFAS No. 109 requires that such acquired assets be
recorded at their full assigned value with offsetting deferred taxes which may
not be discounted. 


    Under the liability method required by the Statement, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse. 


EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE 


    Earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number
of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding, 6,842,500 in 1994,
7,556,500 in 1993 and 7,519,536 in 1992. 


2. RESTATEMENT 


    Subsequent to issuance of the financial statements for the nine month
period ended January 31, 1994 and the years ended May 1, 1993 and May 2, 1992,
it was discovered that work in process inventory accounts at one location were
overstated by $1,391 at January 31, 1994, $1,076 at May 1, 1993 and $169 at May
2, 1992. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements give effect to the
restatement by reducing work in process inventory balances by such amounts.

</TABLE>

    Income (loss) before income taxes as previously stated for 1992 has been
reduced by $69 as a result of the retroactive adoption of FAS 109 (see NOTE 9).
Amounts for 1993 have been previously reported on a restated basis for the
adoption of FAS 109.

    No deferred tax credits were recorded in 1993 or 1992 due to the history of
net operating losses (see NOTE 9).

3. ACQUISITION OF THE COMPANY

    Effective January 31, 1994 all issued and outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock were acquired by LADD. In connection with the
Acquisition, the Company, concurrent with the closing, repaid substantially all
outstanding long-term debt out of funds provided by LADD. Prior to but as a
result of the Acquisition, the Company paid management bonuses of $1,013,
redeemed all outstanding stock options for $4,078 and incurred certain other
expenses aggregating $68, all of which are included in nonrecurring costs in the
accompanying 1994 statement of operations. 


4. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK 


    Cabinet Company is principally engaged in the business of furniture
manufacturing. Substantially all accounts receivable are from department stores
and furniture retailers. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation
of credit reports, payment practices and, in most cases, financial condition.
Collateral or letters of credit are generally not required. Credit losses are
provided for in the financial statements and consistently have been within
management's expectations. 


5. INVENTORIES 


    Under the LIFO method, inventories have been reduced by approximately $695,
$523 and $688 at January 31, 1994, May 1, 1993 and May 2, 1992, respectively,
from amounts which would have been reported under the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method.

    Property, plant and equipment consists of the following:

</TABLE>

    All notes payable and long-term debt are classified in accordance with their
terms at January 31, 1994 as if the Acquisition and related transactions
described in Note 3 had not occurred. As a condition of the Acquisition, the
Company, with funds provided by LADD, repaid substantially all notes payable
and long-term debt concurrent with the closing on January 31, 1994.

7. NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)

    On April 28, 1993 the Company entered into an agreement with the holders of
its subordinated notes to amend the notes. The agreement required the payment of
all accrued and unpaid interest through February 18, 1993 and the forgiveness of
$2,175 of principal. The amended agreement required the payment of an additional
$1,000 if a Change of Control Event occurred prior to April 28, 1994.
Recognition of gains on the debt restructuring was deferred pending expiration
of the contingency. As a result of the Acquisition, the $1,000 contingent
payment became due and was paid by the Company, concurrent with the closing, out
of funds provided by LADD. The January 31, 1994 and May 1, 1993 carrying value
of the subordinated debt consists of the remaining principal balance, expected
interest over the life of the notes and net contingent amounts payable. 


    At May 2, 1992, the Company had violated certain covenant requirements in
bank borrowing agreements. The banks did not grant waivers of the covenant
violations and could have declared the Company in default, and the debt due;
therefore, all borrowings under the agreement were classified as current in the
May 2, 1992 balance sheet. 


8. COMMON STOCK 


    In addition to the 9,000,000 shares of authorized Class A common stock, the
Company is authorized to issue 9,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, of
which none have been issued. The two classes of common stock entitle the holders
to the same rights and privileges except that Class A common stock entitles the
holder to voting rights while Class B common stock has no voting rights. 


    Shareholders of Class A common stock are permitted to exchange any or all
shares for the same number of Class B shares and Class B holders are entitled to
convert any or all shares into the same number of Class A shares within certain
limitations. 


    Prior to but as a result of the Acquisition, the Company redeemed all
1,310,000 stock options then outstanding for aggregate consideration of $4,078.

9. INCOME TAXES 


    In the nine month period ended January 31, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 109. The Statement requires the use of the asset and liability approach for
accounting and reporting for income taxes. Financial statements for prior years
were restated effective with the March 19, 1985 acquisition of the Cabinet
Company. As a result of the changes in accounting for business combinations
required by SFAS No. 109, the restatement of the acquisition of Cabinet Company
resulted in additional goodwill ($1,840), additional costs allocated to
property, plant and equipment ($969) and increased deferred tax liabilities
($2,809). The net effect at April 27, 1991 of the additional depreciation of
property, plant and equipment, the additional amortization of goodwill and the
additional deferred tax credits was a reduction in deficit of $1,681 from
amounts reported prior to adoption. The effects of adoption on 1994, 1993 and
1992 pretax results of operations as a result of restatement for the 1985
acquisition were not material. The effects of adoption on the 1993 and 1992
provision (credit) for income taxes were not material. 


    At January 31, 1994, the Company has operating loss carryforwards for tax
purposes of approximately $5,970. Such carryforwards may be used to reduce
otherwise taxable income until they expire beginning in 2005. Alternative
minimum tax credits of $149 are available to offset future regular federal
income tax liabilities and do not expire.

9. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

    At May 1, 1993 and May 2, 1992, valuation allowances of $413 and $1,968,
respectively, were established to reduce net deferred tax assets to zero due to
the history of net operating losses. A portion of the valuation allowance was
reversed in 1993 principally as a result of profitable operations reducing net
operating loss carryforwards. The remaining valuation allowance was reversed in
the nine month period ended January 31, 1994 due to continued profitable
operations prior to nonrecurring costs. 


    Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of
the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

           REVISED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED 
                        FINANCIAL INFORMATION


   The  following  Revised Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed
   Statement  of  Earnings for the year ended January 1, 1994 and
   the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet as of
   January 1, 1994 give effect to the Pilliod Holding Company and
   subsidiary  (Pilliod  Furniture)  acquisition  and  the  other
   adjustments  and  assumptions  described  in the notes to such
   combined  condensed  statements,  as  if  the  transaction had
   occurred  at  the beginning of the year ended January 1, 1994,
   in  the  case  of the Statement of Earnings, and at January 1,
   1994,  in  the  case  of the Balance Sheet.  The unaudited pro
   forma   combined  condensed  financial  information  has  been
   revised  to  incorporate  changes  to  the  audited historical
   financial  statements  of  Pilliod  Furniture  resulting  from
   discovery  of  misstatements  to  work-in-process  inventory
   accounts  subsequent  to  issuance  of  the original financial
   statements that were included in the registrant's Form 8-K/A-1
   filed April 8, 1994.

   The    unaudited  pro  forma  combined  condensed  financial
   information  relating  to  Pilliod  Furniture  is based on the
   audited  historical  financial statements of the Company as of
   and  for  the  year  ended  January 1, 1994 and on the revised
   audited  historical  financial statements of Pilliod Furniture
   as  of and for the nine months ended January 31, 1994, as well
   as  the  fourth  quarter  of  the  revised  audited historical
   financial  statements  of  Pilliod Furniture as of and for the
   year  ended  May  1,  1993.   The unaudited pro forma combined
   condensed  financial  information  gives  effect  to  the
   acquisition under the purchase method of accounting based on a
   purchase  price  of  $54,000,000  for  the  common stock, plus
   transaction  expenses  of  approximately $397,000, through the
   use  of  borrowings  of approximately $34,400,000 and proceeds
   from  the  sale  of  selected  trade  accounts  receivable for
   $20,000,000.    The  total  purchase  cost  of $54,397,000 was
   allocated  first  to  the  tangible  assets and liabilities of
   Pilliod  Furniture based upon their respective fair values and
   the  remainder  was  allocated  to the excess of cost over the
   assigned  value  of  net  assets  acquired.  Additionally, the
   unaudited  pro  forma combined condensed financial information
   excludes  certain  non-recurring  expenses, principally relating 
   to management bonuses and redemption of outstanding stock options, 
   incurred by Pilliod Furniture during 1993.

   The  revised  unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial
   information is not necessarily indicative of future operations
   or  the  actual  results  that  would  have  occurred  had the
   transaction  been  consummated  at  the  beginning of the year
   presented.    Moreover,  valuations  assigned  to  the  assets
   acquired  and  liabilities assumed are preliminary and subject
   to change.

                NOTES TO REVISED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED
                            STATEMENT OF EARNINGS

(1) To record amortization expense for intangible assets, based upon a 
    forty year useful life, resulting from the allocation of the purchase 
    price to noncurrent assets at the date of the acquisition; and to 
    eliminate the historical amortization expense of Pilliod Holding Company
    (Pilliod).

(2) To adjust expenses to reflect cost savings attributable to the combining 
    of certain operations and functions resulting from the acquisition of 
    Pilliod. Specifically, a reduction in audit fees, legal fees and consulting
    fees resulting from a consolidation of professional services, as well as 
    reductions in credit and telephone services due to integration with 
    LADD's internal functions.

(3) To record costs of the trade receivables securitization program utilized 
    to partially finance the acquisition of Pilliod.  The cost includes fees 
    associated with the securitization program and discount expense on the 
    $20,000,000 of receivables sold to finance the acquisition assuming an 
    average discount rate of 4.75%.

(4) To adjust interest expense to reflect the cost of short-term and long-term 
    borrowings used to partially finance the acquisition of Pilliod.  The 
    adjustment incorporates elimination of Pilliod's interest expense at an 
    effective rate of 7.90% on debt repaid by LADD upon acquisition, and an 
    increase in interest expense resulting from financing the acquisition 
    utilizing long-term and short-term debt with an estimated average 
    effective interest rate of 5.50%.

(5) To record the income tax effect of pro forma adjustments.

(6) To adjust income tax expense for a reduction in historical net operating 
    losses utilized by Pilliod in 1993 in determining income tax expense as 
    the utilization of purchased net operating losses are to be accounted for 
    as a reduction in goodwill of LADD.

                            CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET

(1) To reflect the allocation of the purchase price for Pilliod Holding 
    Company (Pilliod) to the assets acquired based upon their estimated 
    fair values at the date of acquisition. The estimated fair value 
    adjustment has been determined based upon currently available information.
    There is no assurance that such values will ultimately be assigned to the 
    assets acquired.

(2) To provide for costs associated with the acquisition of the business which
    include employment related costs, planned consolidation of offices, and 
    other miscellaneous expenses that were incurred as a result of the 
    acquisition of the business.

(3) To record the sale of accounts receivable, and short-term and long-term 
    borrowing which include incurred to finance acquisition of Pilliod; 
    and to eliminate the Pilliod debt repaid at the time of the acquisition.

(4) To eliminate the equity of Pilliod.
