The Company's only potential common shares outstanding are stock options, which resulted in a dilutive effect of 69,356 shares and 100,269 shares in the quarters ended and 67,029 shares and 106,179 shares in the nine months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options using the treasury stock method. 4.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations: The following table has been prepared as an aid in understanding the Company's results of operations on a comparative basis for the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. Amounts presented are percentages of the Company's net sales. Third Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended March 31, March 31, ------------------------- ------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net Sales ....................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of goods sold .............. (78.6%) (77.9%) (77.8%) (77.9%) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Gross margin .................... 21.4% 22.1% 22.2% 22.1% Selling, general & administrative expense ....................

(0.7%) (2.3%) (1.2%) (2.3%) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income ...................... 1.2% 3.9% 2.2% 4.2% ========== ========== ========== ========== RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER - Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 decreased by $6.5 million or 8.7% compared to the prior year quarter. Residential seating sales volume increased $4.0 million or 8.9%. Recreational vehicle seating sales decreased $9.6 million or 37.5%. Commercial seating volume decreased $1.0 million or 20.5%. Gross margin decreased $1.9 million to $14.6 million or 21.4% of net sales in the current year, from $16.6 million or 22.1% of net sales reflecting the lower sales volume and changes in product mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 19.8% and 16.1% for the current year and prior year, respectively. Advertising, bad debts and health insurance cost increases and the cost associated with the development of retail operations negatively impacted selling, general and administrative expenses in the current period. The above factors resulted in current fiscal period earnings of $0.8 million or $0.13 per diluted share compared to $2.9 million or $0.45 per diluted share in the prior year, a net decrease of $2.1 million or $0.32 per share. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE LAST NINE MONTHS - Net sales for the nine-months ended March 31, 2001 decreased by $7.8 million or 3.7% compared to the prior year nine-month period. Residential seating sales volume increased $15.6 million or 12.3%. Recreational vehicle seating sales decreased $22.6 million or 31.5%. Commercial seating volume decreased $0.9 million or 6.1%. Gross margin decreased $1.6 million to $45.6 million or 22.2% of net sales in the current year, from $47.2 million or 22.1% of net sales reflecting the lower sales volume and changes in product mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 19.1% and 16.6% for the current year and prior year, respectively. Advertising, bad debts and health insurance cost increases and the cost associated with the development of retail operations negatively impacted selling, general and administrative expenses in the current period.

The Company has five retail stores in operation, two in the Chicago area and three in the Indianapolis market. The Company does not anticipate opening additional retail locations. The retail operations are experiencing operating losses as staffing is completed, advertising is initiated and consumer traffic is established. The Company believes that operating these retail stores will aid in assuring product introductions meet consumer requirements, that advertising and marketing materials are effective and to enhance sales by providing additional floor space to display its wide product line. Net income for the nine-months ended March 31, 2000 included a net gain (after tax) of $790,000, or $0.12 per share, on the sale of land and $405,000, or $0.06 per share, from nontaxable proceeds of life insurance. The above factors resulted in current period earnings of $4.4 million or $0.71 per diluted share. Excluding the sale of land and life insurance proceeds in the prior year, net earnings for the nine-months ended March 31, 2001 declined $0.46 per share from the prior year nine-month period. Liquidity and Capital Resources: Working capital at March 31, 2001 is $54.9 million, which includes cash, cash equivalents and investments of $8.6 million. Working capital increased by $2.8 million from the June 30, 2000 amount. Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.2 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2001 versus $4.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2000. Capital expenditures were $3.6 million and $5.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. The current period capital expenditures include $750,000 of equipment and leasehold improvements acquired through settlement of a note receivable. The current period expenditures were incurred primarily for manufacturing and delivery equipment. The Company anticipates that minimal capital expenditures will be made during the next three months. The funds for projected capital expenditures are expected to be provided by cash generated from operations and available cash. The Company has repurchased shares of its common stock under plans approved by the Company's Board of Directors. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2001 the Company repurchased 194,425 shares of its common stock. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Information About Market Risk Not applicable.
