4.  Common Stock Repurchase

On June 30, 1997, the Company purchased 750,000 shares of its
common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $15 million which
was funded from available cash and borrowings under its revolving
credit facility.  The shares were purchased from the ML-Lee
Acquisition Fund, L.P. and its affiliates.  

Assuming the shares were repurchased on January 2, 1997 and 
financed entirely by borrowings under the revolving credit facility
at an assumed interest rate of 7.25%, the pro forma fully diluted
earnings per share would have been $1.86, for the nine month period
ended September 28, 1997.

5.  New Accounting Standard

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
after December 15, 1997.  The new standard specifies the
computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings
per share for entities with publicly held common stock.  Since
early adoption of the standard is prohibited, the following pro
forma earnings per share amounts computed using the new standard
are presented below.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Net sales increased $1.7 million, or 3.3%, for the three month
period ended September 28, 1997 from the comparable 1996 period. 
For the nine month period, net sales increased $5.3 million, or
3.6%, from the comparable 1996 period.  The increase was due
primarily to higher average selling prices.

Gross profit margin for the three and nine month periods of 1997
increased to 24.5% and 24.9%, respectively, from 24.3% and 23.4%
for the comparable 1996 periods.  Gross profit margin for the third
quarter approximates the comparable prior year quarter.  The higher
gross profit margin for the nine month period of 1997 was due
primarily to lower raw material costs as a percentage of net sales
and improved operating efficiencies.  However, gross profit margin
declined from 25.2% for the first half of 1997 to 24.5% for the
third quarter of 1997, due primarily to rising lumber cost, and
management expects this trend to continue in the fourth quarter and
into 1998.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine
month periods of 1997 as a percentage of net sales decreased to
13.8% and 14.2%, respectively, from 14.5% and 14.8% for the
comparable 1996 periods.  These expenses were lower in the 1997
periods, due primarily to a higher provision for bad debts in the
prior year periods.

As a result of the above, operating income for the three and nine
month periods of 1997 increased to $5.8 million, or 10.7% of net
sales, and $16.4 million, or 10.7% of net sales, respectively, from
$5.2 million, or 9.8% of net sales, and $12.7 million, or 8.6% of
net sales, for the comparable 1996 periods.

Interest expense for the 1997 three month period increased due to
higher debt levels resulting from the Company's June 1997
repurchase of 750,000 shares of its common stock.  For the 1997
nine month period, interest expense decreased due primarily to
lower net borrowing levels.

The Company's effective income tax rate was 38.2% and 38.6% for the
nine month periods of 1997 and 1996, respectively.  


Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 28, 1997, long-term debt including current maturities
was $48.8 million.  On June 30, 1997, the Company purchased 750,000
shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $15
million which was funded from available cash and borrowings under
its revolving credit facility.  Debt service requirements for the
next five years are $5.1 million in 1998, $15.3 million in 1999,
$5.2 million in 2000, $5.3 million in 2001, and $5.4 million in
2002.  As of September 28, 1997, approximately $13.0 million of
additional borrowings were available under the revolving credit
facility. The Company believes that its financial resources are
adequate to support its capital needs and debt service
requirements.  

The Company used cash from operations of $482,000 in the 1997
period compared to cash generated from operations of $7.4 million
during the 1996 period.  Cash was required in the 1997 period to
fund higher payments to suppliers and employees due to increased
production.  Cash was also required for higher tax payments
resulting from higher taxable income in 1997.  The cash generated
by operations in 1996 was used to fund capital expenditures and
reduce borrowings.

Net cash used by investing activities was $1.5 million in the 1997
period compared to $2.9 million in the 1996 period.  Expenditures
in each year were primarily for plant and equipment and other
assets in the normal course of business.
 
Net cash used by financing activities was $4.9 million and $1.1
million in the 1997 and 1996 period, respectively.  In the 1997
period cash and borrowings under the revolving credit facility were
used to finance the stock repurchase discussed above.


Discontinued Operations

In 1996, the Company was released from a lease obligation at its
former Norman's of Salisbury division.  Accordingly, in the third
quarter of 1996, the Company recorded an after tax gain of
$246,000, or $.05 per share, related to the partial reversal of a
1994 accrual.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this report are not based on historical
facts, but are forward-looking statements.  These statements can be 
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as
"believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," or "anticipates" or
the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable
terminology.  These statements reflect the Company's reasonable
judgment with respect to future events and are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements.  Such risks and
uncertainties include the cyclical nature of the furniture
industry, fluctuations in the price for lumber which is the most
significant raw material used by the Company, competition in the
furniture industry, capital costs and general economic conditions.

New Accounting Standard

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
after December 15, 1997. The new standard specifies the
computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings
per share for entities with publicly held common stock.  Since
early adoption of the standard is prohibited, the following pro
forma earnings per share amounts computed using the new standard
are presented below.
