Pulaski Furniture Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

See notes to financial statements included in the Corporation's 10-K for the
year ended November 2, 1997, for information concerning accounting policies,
long-term debt, stock options and other financial matters. There have been
no material changes in financial matters since November 2, 1997.

In the opinion of the Corporation, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
April 19, 1998 and November 2, 1997, and the results of operations and
cash flows for the three and six 4-week periods ended April 19, 1998 and
April 20, 1997.

The results of operations for the three and six 4-week periods ended April 19,
1998 and April 20, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.  See Management's Discussion and Analysis for a 
detailed discussion on the cyclical nature of the Corporation's operating
results.

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Finan-
cial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share."  Statement 128 re-
placed the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share
with basic and diluted earnings per share.  Unlike primary earnings per
share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, 
warrants, and convertible securities.  Diluted earnings per share is very
similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share.  All
earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where
necessary, restated to conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per share:

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

Comparison of Second Quarter 1998 to Second Quarter 1997 and Two Quarters of
1998 to Two Quarters of 1997 (See pages 3 & 4 for dollar and percent changes.)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales increased 11% in the second quarter and 7% in the two quarters of 1998
as compared to 1997, reflecting an increased demand for the Corporation's 
product due largely to the strong retail environment for household furniture.
More units were sold in the second quarter and two quarters of 1998, while
average selling prices declined slightly below the same periods of 1997.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, were higher in the second quarter
and two quarters of 1998 due primarily to the lower selling prices.

Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, dropped from 
15.9% to 14.3% in the second quarter of 1998, and from 15.4% to 14.2% in the
two quarters of 1998 as compared to 1997 due mainly to reductions in product
development costs and advertising and promotional expenses.  Interest expense
decreased due to lower outstanding debt in 1998.  Net income was higher, as a
percentage of sales, in the 1998 quarter and two quarters due mostly to the
higher sales volume.

Historically, the quarterly results of the Corporation have reflected a cyc-
lical pattern, as indicated below:
                                             QTR 1    QTR 2    QTR 3    QTR 4
     4-year average of net sales volume      22.4%    22.7%    18.3%    36.6%

This pattern reveals that the Corporation's first quarter, ending in January,
has accounted for approximately 22% of net sales volume.  The second quarter,
ending in April, is roughly equivalent in sales volume to the first quarter, 
while the third quarter, ending in July, shows a drop in volume to 18%.  The
remainder, or 37% of sales volume, is recorded in the fourth quarter, which
comprises four 4-week reporting periods and which also includes the strongest
selling season for certain product lines.  However, due to a number of risks
and uncertainties beyond the Corporation's control, including economic condi-
tions and consumer confidence, historical trends should not be viewed as an
accurate predictor of future results.  The Corporation believes the results
of the second quarter ended April 19, 1998, are reasonable in relation to
the historical pattern, considering the retail environment for household
furniture.

The Corporation recognizes that the year 2000 presents many challenges for
information systems.  In light of this recognition, management has enacted a
strategic business plan to ensure the needs of the year 2000 are met and that
the costs of preparing for this challenge are both understood and manageable.

Based on recent assessments, the Corporation has determined that it will be 
required to modify or replace significant portions of its software so that
its computer systems will properly reflect dates beyond December 31, 1999. If
such modifications are not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000
Issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Corporation. The
Corporation expects to complete the modifications timely. The Corporation
will use both internal and external resources to reprogram, or replace, and
test the software for the Year 2000 modifications. The Corporation is funding
the Year 2000 project with cash generated from operations. The project will
be expensed or capitalized as appropriate over the next two years, and is not
expected to have a material effect on the results of operations.

Pulaski Furniture Corporation
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the
Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income (cont.)

Formal communications with all significant suppliers, customers and financial
service organizations of the Corporation is currently underway to determine
the extent to which the Corporation might be made vulnerable by those third
parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 Issue.  The Corporation has
determined that it has no exposure to contingencies related to the Year 2000
for the products already sold.


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

Working capital provided by operations was $4,394,000 for the two quarters
ended April 19, 1998 compared to $3,943,000 for the two quarters ended April
20, 1997.  Net working capital increased by $1,948,000 during the first two
quarters of 1998 compared with a decrease of $3,402,000 in the first two
quarters of 1997.

During the first two quarters of 1998, the Corporation's average amount of 
outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money was $30,801,141.  The weighted
average rate of interest on such indebtedness was approximately 5.42% per
annum.
