(2) On March 1, 1996, the Company completed its offering of ten
million common shares generating net cash proceeds of $81.3
million which were used to repay long-term debt. This long-term
debt payment was applied in reverse order of maturity to the
term loan "C" facility of the Secured Credit Agreement.
(3) In February 1996, the Company entered into interest rate swap
agreements with two financial institutions to reduce the impact
of changes in interest rates on its floating rate long-term debt.
The two agreements, having a total notional principal amount of
$300.0 million, mature in three years. The Company is exposed
to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
parties to the interest rate swap agreement; however,
the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by the
counterparties.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Furniture Brands International, Inc. (the "Company") is a major manufacturer of
residential furniture. The Company has three primary operating subsidiaries;
Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc., The Lane Company, Incorporated and
Thomasville Furniture Industries, Inc.
On December 29, 1995, the Company acquired Thomasville Furniture Industries,
Inc.("Thomasville"). The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and, since
the acquisition occurred as of the last business day of 1995, has been reflected
in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995.
The Company's results of operations for 1995 do not include any of the
operations of Thomasville.

Net earnings 22.5 2.7% 13.2 2.5%
Net earnings per common share 0.37 - 0.26 -
For the three months ended June 30, 1996, net sales increased by $170.5
million, or 68.1%, compared to a decrease for the three months ended June
30, 1995 of 8.0%. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net sales
increased by $308.5 million, or 57.5%, compared to a decrease for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 of 0.9%. The improved sales performance
resulted primarily from the acquisition of Thomasville.
Earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996
increased by $13.5 million or 84.0% from the comparable prior year
period. Earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30,
1996 and June 30, 1995 were 7.0% and 6.4% of net sales, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, earnings from operations
increased by $22.9 million, or 61.3%, compared to a decrease of 6.7% for
the six months ended June 30, 1995. As a percent of net sales, earnings
from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995
were 7.1% and 7.0%, respectively. The increase in operating earnings was
due to the Thomasville acquisition as well as improved operating
performance at the other operating companies. Strong order rates allowed
the Company's manufacturing plants to run efficiently during the quarter.
Interest expense totaled $11.4 million and $25.1 million for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to $8.4
million and $17.2 million in the prior year comparable periods. The
increase in interest expense reflects the additional debt incurred for
the acquisition of Thomasville.
The effective income tax rates were 38.6% and 38.7% for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to 40.8% and
41.1% for the prior year periods, respectively. The effective income tax
rates for each period were adversely impacted by certain nondeductible
expenses incurred and provisions for state and local taxes.
Net earnings per common share on both a primary and fully diluted basis
were $0.18 and $0.37 for the three months and six months ended June 30,
1996, respectively, compared with $0.11 and $0.26 for the same periods
last year, respectively. Average common and common equivalent shares
outstanding used in the calculation of net earnings per common share on a
primary and fully diluted basis were 63,703,924 and 64,019,160,
respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 50,594,863 and
50,639,977, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1995. For
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 average common and
common equivalent shares outstanding used in the calculation of net
earnings per common share on a primary and fully diluted basis were
59,958,162 and 60,693,945, respectively, and 50,594,863 and 50,639,977,
respectively.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Working Capital

ended June 30, 1996, net cash provided by operating activities totaled
$55.9 million, net cash used by investing activities totaled $13.1
million and net cash used by financing activities totaled $50.7 million.
Working capital was $442.1 million at June 30, 1996, compared to $455.0 million
at December 31, 1995. The current ratio was 3.8 to 1 at June 30, 1996,
compared to 4.4 to 1 at December 31, 1995.
Financing Arrangements
- ----------------------
As of June 30, 1996, long-term debt, including current maturities,
consisted of the following, in millions:
Secured credit agreement 367.5
Receivables securitization facility 200.0
Other 16.5
-----
584.0
=====
On March 1, 1996, the Company completed its offering of ten million
common shares generating net cash proceeds of $81.3 million. The net
proceeds of the offering were used to repay long-term debt.
To meet short-term working capital and other financial requirements, the
Company maintains a $180.0 million revolving credit facility as part of
its Secured Credit Agreement with a group of financial institutions. The
revolving credit facility allows for both issuance of letters of credit
and cash borrowings. Letter of credit outstandings are limited to no
more than $60.0 million. Cash borrowings are limited only by the
facility's maximum availability less letters of credit outstanding. At
June 30, 1996, there were $7.0 million of cash borrowings outstanding
under the revolving credit facility and $26.6 million in letters of
credit outstanding, leaving an excess of $146.4 million available under
the revolving credit facility.
In addition to the revolving credit facility, the Company also had $11.4
million of excess availability under its Receivables Securitization
Facility as of June 30, 1996.
The Company believes its revolving credit facility, together with cash
generated from operations, will be adequate to meet liquidity
requirements for the foreseeable future.

NOTES TO STATEMENT RE COMPUTATION OF NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
(1) Includes common stock options, the exercise of which would result in dilution of net earnings
per common share. Such common stock options have been considered as exercised and the
proceeds therefrom were used to purchase common stock at the average common stock market
price, if the average common stock market price was higher than the common stock option
exercise price during the period.
(2) Includes common stock warrants, the exercise of which would result in dilution of net
earnings per common share. Such common stock warrants have been considered as exercised and
the proceeds therefrom were used to purchase common stock at the average common stock market
price, if the average common stock market price was higher than the common stock warrant
exercise price during the period.
(3) Additional common shares issuable resulting from the application of the same principles
described in Note (1), except that the proceeds from assumed common stock options exercised
were used to purchase common stock at the month end common stock market price, if the month
end common stock market price was higher than the average common stock market price during
the period.
(4) Additional common shares issuable resulting from the application of the same principles
described in Note (2), except that the proceeds from assumed common stock warrants exercised
were used to purchase common stock at the month end common stock market price, if the month
end common stock market price was higher than the average common stock market price during
the period.
