seating business ever since. For more detailed information see the registrant's
1995 Annual Report to Shareholders which is incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments
The registrant's operations consist of one industry segment: upholstered
seating. For more detailed financial information see the registrant's 1995
Annual Report to Shareholders which is incorporated herein by reference.

The registrant's upholstered seating business has three primary areas of
application: home seating, vehicle seating and commercial seating. Set forth
below, in tabular form, is information for the past three fiscal years showing

Upholstered Seating Total........... $208,400,000 $195,400,000 $177,300,000
</TABLE>

(c) Narrative Description of Business
(1) (i), (ii), (vii) The registrant is engaged in one segment of
business, namely, the manufacture and sale of a broad line of quality
upholstered furniture for the retail furniture market, contract furniture market
and recreational vehicle furniture market. The registrant's classes of products
include a variety of wood and upholstered furniture including upholstered
reclining and rocker-reclining chairs, swivel rockers, chairs, sofas, sofa
beds, loveseats and convertible bedding units, some or all of which are for the
home, office, recreational vehicles, vans and mobile homes. Featured as a basic
component in most of the upholstered furniture is a unique drop-in-seat spring.
The registrant primarily distributes its products throughout most of the United
States through the registrant's sales force to approximately 3,000 furniture
dealers, department stores and R.V. manufacturers. The registrant's products are
also sold to several national chains, some of which sell on a private label
basis.

(iii) Sources and availability of raw materials essential to the
business:

The registrant's furniture products utilize oak, gum and other
species of hardwood lumber obtained from Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri,
Tennessee and elsewhere. In addition to lumber and plywood, principal raw
materials utilized in the manufacturing process include bar and wire
stock, high carbon spring steel, fabrics and polyurethane. While the
registrant purchases these materials from outside suppliers, it is not
dependent upon any single source of supply. The raw materials are all
readily available.

(iv) Material patents and licenses:

The registrant owns the American and Canadian improvement patents to
its Flexsteel seat spring, as well as, patents on convertible beds and
various other recreational vehicle seating products. In addition, it holds
licenses to manufacture certain rocker-recliners. The registrant does not
consider its patents and licenses material to its business.

(v) The registrant's business is not considered seasonal.

(viii) The approximate dollar amounts of backlog of orders believed
to be firm as of the end of the last fiscal year and the preceding fiscal
year are as follows:

JUNE 30, 1995 JUNE 30, 1994
$20,400,000* $20,500,000

*All of this amount is expected to be filled and billed in fiscal year
ending June 30, 1996.

(x) Competitive conditions:

The furniture industry is highly competitive. There are numerous
furniture manufacturers in the United States. Although the registrant is
one of the largest manufacturers of upholstered furniture in the United
States, according to the registrant's best information it manufactures and
sells less than 4% of the upholstered furniture sold in the United States.
The registrant's principal method of meeting competition is to emphasize
its product performance and to use its sales force.

(xi) Expenditures on Research Activities:

Most items in the upholstered seating line are designed by the
registrant's own design staff. New models and designs of furniture, as
well as new fabrics, are introduced continuously. The registrant estimates
that approximately 40% of its upholstered seating line is redesigned in
whole or in part each year. In the last three fiscal years, these redesign
activities involved the following expenditures:

FISCAL YEAR ENDING EXPENDITURES
June 30, 1993 $1,325,000
June 30, 1994 $1,340,000
June 30, 1995 $1,490,000

(xiii) Approximately 2,300 people are employed by the registrant.

(d) Financial Information about Domestic Operations

The registrant has no foreign operations and makes minimal export sales.
Financial information about domestic operations is set forth in the registrant's
1995 Annual Report to Shareholders which is incorporated herein by reference.
