NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 1 - In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
         financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
         fairly the financial position as of February 26, 1995 and the results
         of operations and cash flows for the three-months ended February 26,
         1995 and February 27, 1994.
      
Note 2 - The results of operations for the three-months ended February 26, 1995
         and February 27, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
         be expected for the full year.
      
Note 3 - All share and per share amounts have been restated to retroactively
         reflect the three-for-two stock split declared November 10, 1994.
      
Note 4 - The Company is in litigation with a former dealer who alleges breach of
         certain contractual duties and other violations which purportedly
         caused the dealer damages from $800,000 to $1,600,000. Management
         denies that it breached any obligations or duties to this dealer, and
         asserts that any losses the dealer suffered resulted from circumstances
         unrelated to the Company's action. Management is vigorously contesting
         this litigation, and has filed a counter-claim seeking recovery of
         amounts it believes are owed to it by the plaintiff. Management
         believes that it is unlikely that the outcome of this case will have a
         material impact on the financial condition of the Company.
      
Note 5 - On February 16, 1995, the Company completed the sale of its 175,000 sq.
         ft. warehouse in Sylmar California. The warehouse had been held by the
         Company as investment property. The after-tax gain was approximately
         $3.0 million, net of lost rents during the disposition period. The
         Company intends to secure other rental income-producing property to
         permit a "tax-deferred" exchange with the proceeds realized from this
         transaction.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
- ------------------------------------------------
(UNAUDITED)
- ------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations:
- ---------------------

Three Months ended February 26, 1995 Compared to Three Months Ended February 27,
1994.
      
Net shipments during the first three months of 1995 increased by $1,700,000 or
6.3% to $28,747,000 from $27,047,000 in 1994. Management believes that shipments
increased primarily from the addition of new dealers and increased purchases by
existing customers. Furthermore, management believes that overall marketing of
the Company's products benefited from enhanced product quality and customer
service coupled with stable selling prices.
      
Gross profit during the first three months of 1995 increased by $144,000 or 2.1%
to $7,022,000 from $6,878,000 in 1994. Gross profit as a percentage of net
shipments during the first three months in 1995 decreased to 24.4% from 25.4% in
1994. Management believes that the percentage decrease was due primarily to
costs associated with hiring and training expenses for new employees and an
increase in health and medical expenses.
      
Selling and administrative expenses during the first three months of 1995
increased by $1,003,000 or 22.2% to $5,528,000 from $4,525,000 in 1994. Selling
and administrative expenses as a percentage of net shipments during the first
three months of 1995 increased to 19.2% from 16.7% in 1994. The aggregate
increase in selling and administrative expenses was the result of increased
advertising expense, wages and benefits, costs associated with opening
additional company-owned Rowe ShowPlace locations and increases in selling
commissions. Most other costs remained at or near prior year levels.
      
Net interest expense during the first three months of 1995 increased by $40,000
or 80% to $90,000 from $50,000 in 1994. The increase in net interest expense
resulted from additional short-term borrowings at higher interest rates.
      
Other income during the first three months of 1995 increased by $5,087,000 to
$5,442,000 from $355,000 in 1994. The increase in other income was due primarily
to sale of investment property.      

Net earnings during the first three months of 1995 increased by $2,456,000 or
146.3% to $4,135,000 from $1,679,000 in 1994. The increase in net earnings
reflects the gain on the sale of investment property, offset by increases in
cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses.
      
                                                                             -8-

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
- ------------------------------------------------
UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED
- ------------------------------------------------

Liquidity and Source of Capital:
- -------------------------------

The Company has historically financed its operations and capital requirements
with internally generated funds and bank or other financing. The Company has
controlled its capital requirements by improving operating efficiencies in
various aspects of its business, including inventory and receivable management,
labor productivity, and product distribution.
      
Net cash provided by operating activities was $890,000 during the first three
months of 1995 versus $1,270,000 used in 1994. Fluctuations in net cash provided
by operating activities are primarily the result of changes in operating income
and changes in working capital accounts.
      
Capital expenditures were $871,000 during the first three months of 1995 and
$605,000 in 1994. These expenditures were incurred primarily in connection with
maintaining the Company's production capacity, new ShowPlace locations and
certain additions of equipment and systems.
      
Net cash used in financing activities during the first three months of 1995 was
$479,000 versus cash provided of $777,000 in 1994. In 1995, these activities
related primarily to the purchase of company stock, partially offset by
borrowings under a line of credit.
      
As of February 26, 1995, the Company had outstanding long-term debt of $818,000,
consisting of industrial revenue bonds bearing interest at rates ranging from 5%
to 7%.      

The Company has unsecured short-term bank lines of credit totaling $11 million.
The interest rates on those lines of credit do not exceed the prime rate. The
amount outstanding under the lines of credit as of February 26, 1995 was
approximately $4.2 million.
      
Management believes that net cash provided by operating activities and available
bank lines of credit will be sufficient to fund anticipated growth and to meet
the Company's anticipated capital requirements and operating needs through 1995.
      
                                                                             -9-

                         PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.
- ---------------------------

The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation which arises in the 
normal course of its business.  The Company is presently the defendant in a 
civil action titled Charles E. Sklar, el al. v. Rowe Furniture Corporation, 
                    ------------------------------------------------------
filed in October 1992 and currently pending the United States District Court for
the District of Minnesota. The plaintiff is a former dealer of the Company's
products who alleges breach of certain contractual duties, fraud and
misrepresentation by the Company in connection with both furniture and support
services provided by the Company which purportedly caused the dealer damaged
from $800,000 to $1,600,000. Management denies that it breached any obligations
or duties to this dealer, and asserts that any losses the dealer suffered
resulted from circumstances unrelated to the Company's actions. Management
believes that the plaintiff's claims are without merit and the Company is
vigorously contesting this litigation and has filed a counterclaim seeking
recovery of amounts it believes are owed to it by the Plaintiff.
