PART I
Item 1. Business
- - ----------------
General
Chromcraft Revington, Inc. ("Chromcraft Revington"), incorporated in 1992 under
the laws of Delaware, is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of residen-
tial and commercial furniture through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chromcraft
Corporation ("Chromcraft"), Peters-Revington Corporation ("Peters-Revington"),
Silver Furniture Co., Inc. ("Silver Furniture") and Cochrane Furniture Company,
Inc. ("Cochrane Furniture"). Chromcraft Revington is headquartered in Delphi,
Indiana.
In 1992, Chromcraft Revington acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
Chromcraft and Peters-Revington from Consolidated Furniture Corporation
(formerly Mohasco Corporation) pursuant to merger agreements. Concurrently,
Chromcraft Revington completed its initial public offering and restructured
its long-term debt. Chromcraft Revington had no operations prior to 1992.
Chromcraft, a manufacturer of casual dining and commercial furniture, is
located in Senatobia, Mississippi. Peters-Revington, a manufacturer of
occasional furniture, is located in Delphi, Indiana. Chromcraft and Peters-
Revington were both founded in 1946.
On April 3, 1995, Chromcraft Revington acquired Silver Furniture, a manufac-
turer and importer of occasional tables. Silver Furniture has manufacturing
and warehousing operations in Knoxville, Tennessee. On November 8, 1996,
Chromcraft Revington acquired Cochrane Furniture, a manufacturer of dining
room, bedroom and upholstered furniture. Cochrane Furniture has manufacturing
facilities in Lincolnton and Warrenton, North Carolina. Additional financial
information on these acquisitions is included in Notes 2 and 3 to the consoli-
dated financial statements on pages F-6 and F-7.
Chromcraft Revington and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") operate
in one business segment, the manufacture and sale of furniture. No material
amount of the Company's sales is dependent upon a single customer. Export
sales represent approximately 1% of total sales.
Products and Distribution
Occasional Furniture
The Company designs, manufactures and sells medium-priced occasional furniture,
including tables, bookcases, entertainment centers, library and modular wall
units, curio cabinets and home office furniture in traditional, contemporary
and country styles under the Peters-Revington brand name. These products are
manufactured primarily from American hardwoods, such as oak, cherry and maple.
Many Peters-Revington table collections include twelve or more pieces in
matching styles. In addition, different products incorporate the same design
and styling themes, thereby enabling consumers to coordinate several pieces of
furniture for the same room. Peters-Revington products are sold in the United
States and Canada through independent sales representatives primarily to
independent furniture retailers and regional furniture stores.
The Company also designs, manufactures, imports and sells entry level-to-medium
priced occasional tables under the Silver Furniture brand name. These products
are generally designed with a contemporary appeal, utilizing special finishes
and unique styling. Silver Furniture tables are constructed using a variety of
materials, including wood, medium density fiber board, glass and metal. The
Company sources its internally designed imported tables primarily from factories
located in the Far East and Mexico. In 1997, Silver Furniture added entertain-
ment storage centers to its product line. Silver Furniture products are sold
primarily in the United States and Canada through company sales personnel to
national and regional furniture retailers and through independent sales rep-
resentatives to independent furniture retailers.

Casual Dining Furniture
The Company's casual dining furniture is sold under the Chromcraft brand name
and is designed for use in dining rooms, family rooms, recreation rooms,
kitchens and apartments without formal dining areas. The product line consists
primarily of coordinated dining suites in a contemporary or traditional style
that include tables with laminated, wood or glass table tops, stationary and
tilt-swivel chairs, pedestal chairs and barstools. Chairs are upholstered in
a variety of fabrics and vinyls, while tables are manufactured from metal,
wood, glass, faux marble and other materials, and come in a variety of shapes.
Chromcraft competes at the medium-to-higher price points in casual dining.
Chromcraft's casual dining furniture is sold in the United States through
company sales personnel and independent sales representatives to national,
regional, independent and specialty dining retail furniture stores.
Bedroom Furniture
The Company manufactures and sells solid wood bedroom furniture primarily in
oak, cherry or maple under the Cochrane Furniture brand name. Bedroom furniture
includes beds, dressers, night stands and mirrors primarily in traditional
styling. Cochrane Furniture competes primarily at the medium price points in
bedroom furniture. Products are sold mainly in the United States through
independent sales representatives to national, regional and independent furni-
ture retail stores.
Dining Room Furniture
The Company manufactures and sells medium-priced solid wood dining room furni-
ture primarily in oak, cherry and maple under the Cochrane Furniture brand name
mainly in traditional or country styling. Dining room tables are offered in
solid wood or a high pressure laminate table top with a solid wood edge.
Cochrane offers a broad line of armed and side chairs, buffets, chinas and
serving pieces. Products are sold primarily in the United States through inde-
pendent sales representatives to national, regional and independent furniture
retail stores.
Upholstered Furniture
The Company manufactures and sells upholstered sofas, chairs and ottomans under
the Cochrane Furniture brand name. Styled in traditional or contemporary pat-
terns in a wide selection of fabrics, Cochrane generally uses a heat tempered
coil seat construction to evenly distribute body weight. Cochrane uses
primarily hardwoods in the construction of its furniture frames. Seat cushions
are made with high-density, high-resilience polyurethane foam, wrapped in
polyester fiber for consistent comfort. Cochrane upholstered furniture competes
at the mid-to-higher price points. Products are sold through independent sales
representatives to national, regional and independent furniture retail stores.
Commercial Furniture
The Company's commercial furniture products, sold under the Chromcraft brand
name, include stationary and tilt-swivel office chairs, conference and meeting
room tables and lounge-area seating products for airports and other public
waiting areas. Chairs are offered in both contemporary and transitional styles
and are upholstered in various grades and colors of fabric or leather. They
include executive models with high backs, management models, ergonomic computer
task chairs and secretarial models with no arm rests. Products are sold through
company sales personnel and independent sales representatives to office product
dealers, wholesalers/distributors and various contract customers.

Manufacturing
The Company's manufacturing operations include cutting, shaping, sanding,
lacquering, finishing and final assembly of wood furniture, metal fabricating,
plating, powder-coat painting, chair foam production for its casual dining
furniture and cutting and sewing of upholstery fabric. The Company also
operates a rough mill and wood working plant which processes green lumber into
parts for internal use in the Company's bedroom, dining room and upholstered
furniture production.
Raw Materials
Major raw materials are wood, steel, fabrics, glass, medium-density fiber
board, wood finishing materials, cartons, foam for cushions and paddings, and
mechanisms. Suppliers are selected for their ability to deliver high quality
products on a timely basis and at competitive prices. The Company believes
that supplies of raw materials are available in sufficient quantities from an
adequate number of suppliers. The Company did not experience any significant
shortage of raw materials during 1997.
Inventory and Seasonal Requirements
The Company maintains a finished goods inventory for occasional, dining and
bedroom furniture in order to respond quickly to customer delivery needs. Most
casual dining, upholstered and commercial furniture is made to customer speci-
fications and, therefore, not carried in stock. The Company does maintain a
limited number of casual dining, upholstered and commercial furniture items for
quick delivery programs. The Company's sales have historically not been subject
to material seasonal fluctuations.
Competition
The Company encounters competition in the sale of all its products. Many of
the Company's competitors, some of which are larger and have greater financial
resources, produce a number of products which are not competitive with the
Company's products. In many cases, such companies do not disclose the portion
of their sales attributable to products similar to those manufactured by the
Company. It is, therefore, impractical to state with any certainty the
Company's relative position in a particular product line. Competition in the
Company's products is in the form of the quality of its products, service and
selling prices.
Backlog
The Company's backlog of sales orders was approximately $25.0 million at
December 31, 1997, as compared to approximately $24.3 million at December 31,
1996. Order backlog at any particular time is not necessarily indicative of
the level of future shipments.
Environment
The Company believes it is in compliance in all material respects with all
federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations which impose limit-
ations on the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, and establish
standards for the treatment of hazardous wastes.

<PAGE>
Employees
The Company and its subsidiaries employ a total of approximately 2,300 people.
Production employees at the Company's Knoxville, Tennessee location are repre-
sented by a labor union under a collective bargaining agreement. The Company
considers its relations with its employees to be good.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
- - -----------------------------------------------------------------------
General
Chromcraft Revington designs, manufactures and sells residential and commercial
furniture through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Chromcraft, Peters-Revington,
Silver Furniture and Cochrane Furniture. The Company's operating results
include the operations of Cochrane Furniture, acquired November 8, 1996, and
Silver Furniture, acquired April 3, 1995, from the dates of their acquisition
(see Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements on pages F-6
and F-7).
The following table sets forth the Company's results of operations for the
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 expressed as a percentage of the

1997 compared to 1996
Consolidated sales in 1997 increased 28.3% to $225,629,000 from $175,899,000 in
1996. The sales increase was mainly due to the Cochrane Furniture acquisition.
On a comparable basis, excluding the Cochrane Furniture operations, consolidated
sales for 1997 were slightly lower than the prior year period as a result of a
decrease in occasional furniture shipments. Shipments of casual dining and
commercial furniture were slightly higher in 1997 as compared to the year ago
period. The Company increased selling prices during 1997 to offset slightly
higher costs to the extent possible in a competitive market.
Gross margin increased $8,145,000 to $55,827,000, or 24.7% of sales, in 1997,
from $47,682,000, or 27.1%, in 1996. The gross margin percentage decrease was
primarily attributable to the inclusion of Cochrane Furniture's operating
results. Raw material prices were slightly higher as compared to the prior
year period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales, for 1997,
were 13.3% as compared to 13.8% for the year earlier period. Excluding Cochrane
Furniture, the cost percentage decrease was due, in part, to lower incentive
compensation and a decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts.
Interest expense in 1997 was $1,265,000 as compared to $221,000 in 1996. The
increase in interest expense for 1997 was attributable to the Cochrane Furniture
indebtedness. Average interest rates on bank borrowings were slightly higher
in 1997 as compared to 1996.
The effective tax rate in 1997 was 39.9% as compared to 40.0% in 1996.
Net earnings increased to $14,642,000 in 1997, or 6.5% of sales, as compared to
$13,936,000 in 1996, or 7.9% of sales. The decrease in the profitability margin
was primarily attributable to the inclusion of Cochrane Furniture's operating
results. To improve profitability at Cochrane Furniture, various initiatives
have been implemented including cost reduction, consolidation of manufacturing
operations and the discontinuation of non-profitable and low margin products.

<PAGE>
Diluted earnings per share were $2.49 in 1997 and $2.37 in 1996. Average common
shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share included dilutive
potential common shares (stock options) of 168,000 in 1997 and 133,000 in 1996.
1996 compared to 1995
Consolidated sales for 1996 were $175,899,000, up 15.3% from 1995. Acquisitions
accounted for approximately three-fourths of the current year's sales growth.
Internal growth was primarily due to an increase in volume and modest price
increases. The sales increase in 1996 was led by higher sales of casual dining
and commercial office furniture. Occasional furniture sales were slightly ahead
of the prior year period. Recent product introductions of wrought iron casual
dining sets and curio cabinets contributed to higher sales in 1996.
Gross margin increased $6,860,000 to $47,682,000, or 27.1% of sales, in 1996,
from $40,822,000, or 26.7% of sales, in 1995. The 1996 percentage improvement
was primarily due to a more favorable product sales mix and improved operating
efficiencies at the Company's Chromcraft and Silver Furniture subsidiaries.
The 1996 gross margin percentage increase was partially offset by the inclusion
of Cochrane Furniture's operating results. Raw material prices remained fairly
stable during the year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased
to 13.8% from 13.4% in 1995. The percentage increase was due to higher
corporate related expenses and incentive compensation, and an increase in the
allowance for doubtful accounts. Corporate related expenses were higher in
1996 primarily due to an increase in compensation costs. The increase in the
allowance for doubtful accounts was due, in part, to discontinuing a receivable
factoring agreement which transferred the risk of credit loss to the factor.
Interest expense was $221,000 as compared to $236,000 in 1995. In 1996,
interest expense was primarily due to borrowings attributable to the Cochrane
Furniture acquisition, partially offset by interest income on short-term invest-
ments. During 1996, the Company invested excess cash flow from operations in
short-term investments. Interest rates on bank borrowings were lower in 1996
as compared to 1995.
The effective tax rate in 1996 was 40.0% compared to 40.5% in 1995. The lower
effective tax rate in 1996 was due to a decrease in state income taxes.
Net earnings increased to $13,936,000, or $2.37 per share on a diluted basis,
as compared to $11,974,000, or $2.05 per share on a diluted basis, in 1995.
Average common shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share
included dilutive potential common shares (stock options) of 133,000 shares in
1996 and 123,000 in 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The operating activities of the Company provided $15,466,000 of cash for the
year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of $5,938,000 from the amount provided
in 1996. Cash generated from operations improved in 1997 due to a lower invest-
ment in working capital, increased earnings, higher depreciation expense and the
realization of deferred income tax assets. Higher inventories at 1997 year end
were primarily due to a planned increase in finished goods to provide better
service to customers. The investment in working capital in 1996 was higher
primarily due to a reduction in trade accounts payable at Cochrane Furniture,
from its acquisition date, to eliminate past due balances and to obtain
discounts on the early payment of invoices.

<PAGE>
The investing activities used $2,605,000 and $6,286,000 of cash during the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Capital expenditures, primarily
for equipment purchases, were $2,712,000 and $3,060,000 for 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Capital expenditures in 1998 are expected to be approximately
$4,500,000. In November 1996, the Company purchased Cochrane Furniture, a manu-
facturer of dining room, upholstery and bedroom furniture. The purchase price
consisted of a cash payment to Cochrane Furniture stockholders and related
acquisition expenses of $3,483,000 and the assumption of Cochrane Furniture's
liabilities.
Financing activities used $12,861,000 of cash during 1997, primarily to reduce
bank indebtedness and to acquire shares of the Company's common stock. In
February 1997, the Company's board of directors approved the repurchase of up
to 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock. During 1997, the Company
retired 70,800 shares of common stock purchased for $1,895,000.
Cash used by financing activities during 1996 totalled $3,242,000, primarily
for the reduction of bank indebtedness. In 1996, substantially all of the
Cochrane Furniture bank and other indebtedness, assumed at the acquisition
date, was refinanced with borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
facility. The refinancing was required under the Company's revolving credit
agreement, which restricts indebtedness outside of the facility. Financing
costs were more favorable under the facility as compared to the Cochrane
Furniture indebtedness.
The Company has a revolving credit facility with a commitment level of
$60,000,000 that matures on December 20, 2000. The interest rate under the
facility is determined at the time of each borrowing and is based on one of a
variety of floating rate indices or a bank prime lending rate. Total borrowings
under the facility were $9,000,000 at December 31, 1997. Unused capacity under
the revolving credit facility, after reduction for outstanding letters of
credit, equalled $49,119,000 at the end of 1997.
Management expects that cash flow from operations and availability under its
revolving credit facility will continue to be sufficient to meet future
business needs. The Company plans to grow its businesses internally and through
acquisitions. Accordingly, the Company plans to retain cash in the business
and currently does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its common stock.
In 1998, absent an acquisition, the Company expects to generate excess cash
flow from operations, which will be used to reduce bank indebtedness, repurchase
Company common stock, or for general corporate purposes.
Year 2000 Issue
The Company has been modifying its computer information systems to ensure the
proper processing of transactions relating to the year 2000 and beyond. The
Company expects its year 2000 date conversion project to be completed on a
timely basis. The conversion costs are not expected to be material to the
financial statements. However, there can be no assurances that systems of other
companies on which the Company's systems rely also will be timely converted or
that any such failure to convert by another company would not have an adverse
effect on the Company's systems.

within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Chromcraft Revington, Inc.
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
Chromcraft Revington, Inc. manufactures and sells occasional furniture, casual
dining furniture, bedroom furniture, dining room furniture, upholstered furni-
ture and commercial furniture. Products are sold primarily through furniture
dealers throughout the United States and Canada.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chromcraft
Revington, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the "Company").
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
All inventories (materials, labor and overhead) are valued at the lower of cost
or market. Inventories valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis
represent approximately 67% and 70% of total inventories at December 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively. Remaining inventories are valued using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) basis.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation is
computed principally by the straight-line method for financial reporting
purposes and by accelerated methods for tax purposes.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from sales is recognized when the goods are shipped to the customer.
Intangibles
Intangible assets are stated on the basis of cost. The excess of purchase
price over the fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) and tradenames are
being amortized on a straight-line basis principally over 40 years. The Company
reviews the carrying value of goodwill whenever changes in circumstances indi-
cate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When factors indicate
that the recoverability of goodwill should be evaluated, the Company uses an
estimate of the acquired business' undiscounted cash flows in determining
whether an impairment loss is required.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attribu-
table to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled.
F-5 <PAGE>
<PAGE>
Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Statement 128 replaced the calculation of 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 stock options. All earnings per share amounts for all
periods have been presented and, where appropriate, restated to conform to the
Statement 128 requirements.
Stock Options
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 in accounting
for stock options and discloses the fair value of options granted as permitted
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for accounts receivable,
accounts payable and borrowings under a bank revolving credit facility approxi-
mate their fair values. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade
accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of entities comprising
the Company's customer base.
Note 2. Acquisition of Cochrane Furniture Company, Inc.
On November 8, 1996, the Company acquired Cochrane Furniture Company, Inc.
("Cochrane Furniture") for $3,483,000 in cash (including acquisition related
expenses) and the assumption of $38,756,000 of Cochrane Furniture's liabilities.
Cochrane Furniture is a manufacturer of dining room, bedroom and upholstered
furniture.
The operations of Cochrane Furniture are included in the Consolidated Statements
of Earnings from the date of acquisition. The transaction was accounted for as
a purchase and the purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and lia-
bilities assumed based on their fair market values at the date of acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1996 gives effect to the Cochrane Furniture acquisition as if it
had occurred on January 1, 1996. The unaudited pro forma results of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1995 combine the operating results of Cochrane
Furniture for the fiscal year ended March 30, 1996 and the Company's operating
results for the year ended December 31, 1995 and gives effect to the Cochrane
Furniture acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period.
Operating results of Cochrane Furniture for the quarter ended March 30, 1996
are included in each of the unaudited pro forma results of operations.

Note 3. Acquisition of Silver Furniture Co., Inc.
On April 3, 1995, the Company acquired Silver Furniture Co., Inc. ("Silver
Furniture"), a manufacturer and importer of occasional furniture tables, for
$11,350,000 in cash (including acquisition expenses). The operations of Silver
Furniture are included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings from the date
of acquisition. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and the excess
cost over fair value of the net assets acquired is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over a 20-year period. The unaudited pro forma results of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1995, assuming the purchase of
Silver Furniture had been consummated as of the beginning of the period, are
sales of $159,774,000, net earnings of $12,114,000, and basic and diluted
earnings per share of $2.12 and $2.07, respectively.

Chromcraft Corporation and Peters-Revington Corporation have received notifica-
tion from the parent of a former consolidated tax group of which they were
previously members that, following an audit by the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") of income tax returns of the former consolidated tax group, the IRS has
issued a revenue agent's report asserting that certain interest expense deduc-
tions should be recharacterized as non-deductible dividend distributions. A
protest has been filed with the IRS by the former parent on behalf of the
members of the former consolidated tax group. Settlement of this matter has
been agreed upon by the IRS and the parent of the former consolidated tax group
subject to approval by the Joint Committee of Congress on Taxation. Chromcraft
Corporation and Peters-Revington Corporation have a contractual right of indem-
nification against the former parent for any liability for federal and state
income taxes assessed against them for the periods covered in the revenue
agent's report.
Note 8. Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has an unsecured revolving loan facility ("Facility") with a group
of banks that allows the Company to borrow up to $60,000,000 for working capital
requirements, capital expenditures and acquisitions. At December 31, 1997, the
Company had $49,119,000 in availability under the Facility. The interest rate
under the Facility is determined at the time of borrowing, at the Company's
option, at either the bank prime rate or a rate based on the certificate of
deposit rate, the Fed Funds rate, or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).
The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding as of December 31,
1997 and 1996 was 6.62% and 5.95%, respectively. A commitment fee, of up to
.20% per annum, is payable on the unused portion of the credit line. The
Company had outstanding letters of credit under the Facility of $1,881,000 and
$6,118,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Facility expires
December 20, 2000.
The Facility requires compliance with certain financial loan covenants related
to net worth, interest and fixed charge coverages and debt leverage. At
December 31, 1997, unrestricted retained earnings available for dividends were
$31,617,000.

Note 9. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
Weighted average shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share
included dilutive potential common shares (stock options) of approximately
168,000, 133,000 and 123,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively.
Stock options to purchase 38,160 shares of common stock at $26.19 per share and
79,312 shares at $23.25 per share were outstanding during 1996 and 1995,
respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market
price of the common shares for those years and, therefore, the effect would be
antidulutive.
Note 10. Stock Options
The Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") provides for the granting of
either incentive stock options ("ISO's") or stock options which do not qualify
as incentive stock options ("non-ISO's"). The total number of shares of common
stock which may be issued under stock options granted pursuant to the Plan is
550,000 shares. ISO's granted under the Plan vest over no greater than a
10-year period, and are granted at exercise prices no less than the fair market
value of the Company's common shares as of the date of grant. Non-ISO's vest
and are at exercise prices determined by the compensation committee of the Board
of Directors. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, there were 585 and 21,431 shares,
respectively, available for future grants.
The estimated per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted
during 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $12.73, $11.28 and $11.39, respectively, on the
date of grant. The fair value of stock options on the date of grant was
estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average
assumptions:
1997 1996 1995
------ ------ ------
Expected life (years) 7 7 7
Interest rate 6.3% 6.2% 6.3%
Volatility 28.0% 30.0% 32.2%
The following table summarizes the pro forma effects assuming compensation cost
for such awards had been recorded based upon the estimated fair value:

Note 11. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors a number of tax-qualified defined contribution retirement
and savings plans. Employees may be eligible to participate in one or more of
these plans. Company contributions to these plans are based on either a
percentage of an employee's compensation or a matching portion of the employee's
contributions. The cost of these plans was $1,113,000 in 1997, $1,034,000 in
1996 and $1,110,000 in 1995.
The Company also provides supplemental retirement benefits and "make up"
benefits to key executives of the Company whose benefits are reduced by Internal
Revenue Service Code restrictions. Contributions and expenses under these
arrangements were $305,000 in 1997, $221,000 in 1996 and $225,000 in 1995.

Note 12. Registration Rights Agreement
The Company has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated April 23,
1992 (the "Agreement") between the Company and 399 Venture Partners, Inc., which
owned 2,847,709 shares or 50.1% of the Company's outstanding common stock at
December 31, 1997. The Agreement permits 399 Venture Partners, Inc. and trans-
ferees, as defined, to request certain registration rights under the Securities
Act of 1933 for all or part of their shares of common stock under certain

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Chromcraft Revington, Inc.:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Chromcraft Revington,
Inc. and subsidiaries as listed in item 14(a) (1) and (2). In connection with
our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the
financial statement schedule as listed in item 14(a) (1) and (2). These
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chromcraft
Revington, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial state-
ments taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the informa-
tion set forth therein.
