NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 September 1, 1996 and the results
         of operations and cash flows for the nine-months ended September 1,
         1996 and August 27, 1995

Note 2 - The results of operations for the nine months ended September 1, 1996
         and August 27, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
         expected for the full year.

Note 3 - 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, or $0.22 per share. In June 1995, the Company secured
         other rental income-producing property to permit a "tax- deferred"
         exchange with the proceeds realized from this transaction.


                                                                               8

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

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

Nine months ended September 1, 1996 Compared to Nine Months ended August 27,
1995.

Net shipments during the first nine months of 1996 increased by $16,008,000 or
18.1% to $104,641,000 from $88,633,000 in 1995. Management believes that
shipments increased primarily from the addition of new dealers, increased
purchases by existing customers, sales from new company-owned Rowe ShowPlace
locations and favorable product mix. Furthermore, management believes that
overall marketing of the Company's products benefited from the enhanced product
quality and customer service.

Gross profit during the first nine months of 1996 increased by $4,308,000 or
19.8% to $26,056,000 from $21,748,000 in 1995. Gross profit as a percentage of
net shipments during the first nine months in 1996 increased to 24.9% from 24.5%
in 1995. Management believes that the percentage increase was due primarily to
benefits realized through manufacturing restructuring, additional volume and
favorable product mix.

Selling and administrative expenses during the first nine months of 1996
increased by $2,548,000 or 14.4% to $20,201,000 from $17,653,000 in 1995. The
year to year increase reflects the opening of additional Rowe ShowPlace
locations, salary increases and direct costs associated with higher sales
volume. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net shipments
during the first nine months of 1996 decreased to 19.3% from 19.9% in 1995. The
percentage decrease in selling and administrative expenses was the result of
increased shipments.

Operating income was $5,855,000 versus $3,670,000 in the prior year. The
increase reflects higher sales volume and improved margins in 1996 and a
restructuring charge in 1995.

Net interest expense during the first nine months of 1996 decreased by $54,000
or 18% to $246,000 from $300,000 in 1995. The decrease in net interest expense
resulted from a decrease in average borrowings.

Other income during the first nine months of 1996 decreased by $4,908,000 to
$1,055,000 from $5,963,000 in 1995. The decrease in other income was due
primarily to the gain on the sale of investment property in 1995.

Net earnings during the first nine months of 1996 decreased by $1,688,000 to
$4,070,000 from $5,758,000 in 1995. Net earnings for 1995 included the after-tax
gain on the sale of investment property of approximately $3,000,000, offset in
part by the restructuring charge.


                                                                               9

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 $5,008,000 during the first nine
months of 1996 versus $4,667,000 in 1995. 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 $3,021,000 during the first nine months of 1996 and
$9,255,000 in 1995. These expenditures were incurred primarily in connection
with maintaining the Company's production capacity, new Rowe ShowPlace locations
and certain additions of equipment and systems. The 1995 expenditures include
the purchase of investment property of approximately $6.8 million. (See note 3
of consolidated notes to financial statements.)

Net cash used in financing activities during the first nine months of 1996 was
$1,328,000 versus $1,180,000 in 1995. In 1996 and 1995, purchases of treasury 
stock were $1,137,000 and $2,391,000, respectively. 

As of September 1, 1996, the Company had outstanding long-term debt of $626,000
primarily consisting of industrial revenue bonds bearing interest at rates
ranging from 3.5% to 6.0%.

The Company has unsecured short-term bank lines of credit totaling $15 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 September 1, 1996 was
approximately $3.0 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 1996.


                                                                              10
