Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements


See notes to financial statements included in the Corporation's 10-K for the
year ended November 3, 1996, for information concerning accounting policies,
long-term debt, stock options and other financial matters.

In the opinion of the Corporation, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position as of July 13, 1997 and November 3, 1996, and
the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine 4-week
periods ended July 13, 1997 and July 7, 1996.

The results of operations for the three and nine 4-week periods ended July
13, 1997 and July 7, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.

On July 28, 1997, the Corporation announced that it would record pre-tax
charges, in the third quarter of 1997, totaling approximately $9.2 million
($5.9 million after taxes, or $2.10 per share). These charges relate to the
elimination of the Corporation's domestic seating line and related inven-
tories, the discontinuance of certain other products, the divestiture of
Craftique, Inc. and the re-evaluation of the product mix of the Corporation's
major manufacturing facilities to assure that each factory has the correct
products for its manufacturing capabilities. Of the charges, approximately
$9.0 million is included in cost of sales for inventory write-downs, with
the remaining charges related to assets no longer being used.

Pulaski Furniture Corporation
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the
Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income


Comparison of Third Quarter 1997 to Third Quarter 1996 and Three Quarters of
1997 to Three Quarters of 1996   (See pages 3 and 4 for dollar and percent
changes.)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The decrease in sales for the three quarters of 1997 as compared to the
three quarters of 1996 was due largely to the lower demand for the Corpor-
ation's furniture. Demand improved in the third quarter as compared with
the first two quarters of 1997. The changes discussed in the Notes are
expected to result in a decrease in sales of approximately 5% on an
annualized basis.

Excluding the charges discussed in the Notes, cost of sales as a percentage
of sales, for the 1997 quarter was 80.4% compared with 82.3% for the comp-
arable 1996 quarter. The decrease was due primarily to better control of
manufacturing expenses. Excluding the charges discussed in the Notes, cost
of sales as a percentage of sales, for the three quarters of 1997 was 80.0%
compared with 81.3% for the three quarters of 1996. The decrease was due
primarily to a higher gross margin resulting from higher average selling
prices and better cost control.

The increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
for the three quarters of 1997 was due primarily to the lower sales volume.
The higher interest expense in the third quarter of 1997 was due to higher
levels of outstanding debt.

The decline in net income for the third quarter and three quarters of 1997
as compared to the comparable periods of 1996 was due primarily to the
charges discussed in the Notes. Excluding the effect of the charges, net
income for the third quarter and three quarters of 1997 was slightly higher
than the comparable periods of 1996, due primarily to the higher gross
margins discussed above.



Capital Resources and Liquidity
- --------------------------------

Working capital provided by (used in) operations was approximately $(928,000)
for the three quarters ended July 13, 1997 compared to $5,023,000 for the
three quarters ended July 7, 1996. Net working capital decreased by approx-
imately $4,832,000 during the first three quarters of 1997 compared with a
decrease of $957,000 in the first three quarters of 1996.

Through the third quarter of 1997, the Corporation's average amount of 
outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money was $39,455,760.  The weighted
average rate of interest on such indebtedness was approximately 5.5% per
annum.
