(7)  The Company announced a strategic decision in the third quarter of the 
     1996 fiscal year to cease production and sales of its domestic wholesale  
     piano product line, due to the continuing decline in the domestic piano   
     market.  This product line accounted for less than 2% of fiscal year 1995
     consolidated sales.  A pretax provision of $3.4 million was established 
     during the third quarter to cover all estimated costs associated with 
     exiting this product line, including estimates for incremental selling 
     costs, impairment of assets and obsolete inventory.  Final sales and
     production are anticipated to be complete by the end of this current 
     fiscal year.  As of March 31, 1996, incremental selling costs of 
     $248,000 were paid and applied against the liability account.

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis 
              of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


OVERVIEW
Net sales decreased 5% in the third quarter and remained constant in the first
nine months of the 1996 fiscal year when compared to the same periods of the
prior fiscal year.  Net income for the third quarter and nine month periods
reached record levels for those time periods, increasing 9% and 5%,
respectively, when compared to the year earlier periods, excluding the effects
of the Company's cost to exit the domestic wholesale piano product line in the
current quarter.  Including these product line exit costs, net income and
earnings per share decreased 8% for the third quarter and declined 1% in the
year to date period as compared to the prior year.  Cash flow generated from
operations was $51 million for the current nine month period.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995.
Net sales for the third quarter of the 1996 fiscal year were $223,915,000, a
decrease of 5% when compared to the third quarter of the prior year, primarily
due to lower demand in the Company's Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and
Electronic Contract Assemblies product lines.  Net sales for the first nine
months of the 1996 fiscal year were $677,387,000, as compared to $676,318,000 
one year earlier. 

Net sales in the Company's largest segment, Furniture and Cabinets, remained
constant with last year's level for the three and nine month periods.  Sales
increased in the Company's office furniture product line, with sales of value
oriented wood casegoods and steel office furniture product lines leading the
increase.  The Company completed the conversion of an existing facility,
previously used by the Contract Electronics Assemblies segment, to a facility
that produces systems office furniture during the third quarter.  This facility
was dedicated to fulfill the long-term growth that management anticipates in the
Company's systems office furniture product line.  Start-up costs for this
facility have been charged to operating expense during the 1996 fiscal year. 
Operating income in the office furniture product line increased for the three
and nine month periods due primarily to reduced losses on steel office furniture
product lines, as volume increases and improved manufacturing efficiencies were
partially offset by increased selling costs as this product line was expanded
into select new markets.  The Company's steel office furniture production fac-
ility continues to improve efficiencies since its start-up in the prior fiscal
year.  Sales of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) product lines, primarily
television cabinets and residential furniture, decreased in the three and nine
month periods when compared to one year earlier, due to lower than usual demand
experienced in the cyclically-low third quarter.  This lower demand was due in
part to the distribution channel aligning inventory levels with less aggressive
retail sales forecasts of certain products.  Management anticipates normal
demand should resume once inventory levels are properly aligned with sales
estimates.  Some production capacity was utilized for production of other
product lines sold within this segment.  Production flexibility is inherent in
the OEM supplier market and may cause short-term fluctuations in any given
quarter. 



                               - 8 -


The decrease in OEM sales volume, and to a lesser extent an unfavorable sales
mix towards lower margin products, caused operating profits to be lower when
compared to the prior year for both the third quarter and year-to-date periods.
Sales of hospitality furniture continued to increase in the three and nine month
periods when compared to the same periods one year earlier, due to greater
volumes of standard and high-end products targeted to the hospitality renovation
market.  These additional volumes increased operating profits in the three and
nine month periods when compared to the year earlier periods.  Product offering
expansion costs were incurred during the earlier part of this fiscal year,
allowing additional sales to be realized in the third quarter as the result of
an expanded product offering.  The Company's European subsidiaries continued to
sharply reduce their operating losses as compared to the year earlier periods
when facility combination costs were incurred, primarily due to the benefits
derived from the combining of two production facilities into one at the end of
the prior fiscal year and other manufacturing efficiency improvements.
  
Net sales in the Company's second largest segment, Electronic Contract
Assemblies, declined 9% in the third quarter when compared to the same period in
the prior fiscal year.  The decline in the quarter was due primarily to a
softening demand in the telecommunications market and production rescheduling
resulting from the General Motors strike.  Management anticipates that some of
these lost third quarter sales will be regained in the fourth quarter. 
Rescheduling, production flexibility and material availability are inherent in
the contract electronic assemblies market and may cause short-term fluctuations
in any given quarter.  Year-to-date sales have increased 11% from the prior year
due to higher volumes from existing automotive, computer and computer peripheral
customers in addition to products manufactured for new computer customers,
despite purchasing limitations on certain raw material components.  Third
quarter operating profits declined from the prior year due to lower sales
volumes.  Operating profits increased in the nine month period from the prior
year due primarily to additional sales volumes which were produced with less
facility square footage as the result of re-engineering assembly and support
processes.  Included in this segment is one customer which accounted for 15% of
consolidated revenue in the third quarter and 14% in the year-to-date period of
the current fiscal year, as compared to 14% of consolidated revenue in both
periods of the prior year.  The Company purchased certain assets of ELMO
Semiconductor and all the capital stock of ELMO Semiconductuers, SARL as of
March 29, 1996.  The design, testing and packaging technologies acquired,
including multichip modules, will be combined to enhance and expand the
Company's existing core competencies in servicing the contract electronics
market.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with ELMO's results of
operations to be included in consolidated results of operations from the 
date of acquisition.

Net sales in the Company's smallest segment, Processed Wood Products and Other,
declined 33% from the prior year's third quarter and 29% from the nine month
period, due in part to the Company reducing its production capacity of processed
wood products sold to outside customers and an industry-wide softening in demand
for processed wood products, which management believes to be temporary. 
Operating income in this segment declined for the three and nine month periods
when compared to the prior year, reflecting the lower sales volumes.  This
segment continues to supply a significant amount of production output for use in
the Furniture and Cabinets segment.





                               - 9 -


Consolidated cost of sales as a percent of sales decreased 1.6 percentage points
for the third quarter when compared to the prior year, primarily due to a shift
in product line mix to products which carry a lower material content and
improvements in manufacturing efficiency.  Consolidated cost of sales as a
percent of sales increased 0.5 percentage point for the nine month period,
primarily due to a shift in product line mix to products which carry a higher
material content, which was partially offset by improvements in labor
efficiency.  The effect of material price increases has diminished when
compared to the prior year.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of sales
increased 0.9 percentage point for the three month period, primarily due to the
lower sales volume having no effect on the fixed portion of these costs,
although cost reduction initiatives provided some relief.  Selling, general and
administrative expense, as a percent of sales, decreased 0.3 percentage point
for the nine month period when compared to the prior year, due in part to cost
reduction initiatives.  In dollar terms, these costs were lower than the prior
year level for both the three and nine month periods, despite general
inflationary cost increases.

The Company announced a strategic decision in the third quarter of the current
fiscal year to cease production and sales of its domestic wholesale piano
product line, due to the continuing decline in the domestic piano market.  A
provision of $3.4 million was established during the third quarter to cover all
estimated costs associated with exiting this product line, including estimates
for incremental selling costs, impairment of assets and obsolete inventory.  The
after-tax earnings per share effect of this charge amounted to $0.09 per share. 
Planning for this exit was managed to minimize disruption and allow employees to
transfer to other areas of the company where possible.  As such, a minimal
amount of employee-related costs were provided for.  Final sales and production
are anticipated to be complete by the end of this current fiscal year.  This
product line accounted for less than 2% of consolidated sales for fiscal year
1995.  The decision allows this facility to target higher margin products in the
future, including sales and production of OEM products. 

Excluding the product line exit costs, operating income for the third quarter of
1996 was $17,589,000, an increase of 5% when compared to the third quarter of
1995, primarily due to manufacturing efficiency improvements at the steel office
furniture production facility and in the Company's European operations. 
Operating income for the nine month period, excluding the product line exit
costs, was $45,689,000, a decrease of 3% when compared to the same period in the
prior year, due in part to an unfavorable sales mix being partially offset by
manufacturing efficiency improvements.  Including the product line exit costs,
operating profit was $14,189,000  for the three month period and $42,289,000 for
the nine month period, decreases of 15% and 10%, respectively. 

Investment income increased in the three and nine month periods when compared to
the same periods in the previous year due primarily to higher average investment
balances.  Other, net increased in the three and nine month period when compared
to the prior year due primarily to gains realized on the sale of certain assets.

The effective income tax rate decreased 1.6 percentage points in both the three
and nine month periods when compared to the prior year due primarily to larger
European operating losses in the prior year which provided no tax benefit.




                               - 10 -


The Company achieved net income, excluding the effects of the product line exit
costs, of $11,839,000 for the third quarter of the 1996 fiscal year, a 9%
increase over the prior year's third quarter income of $10,831,000.  Net income
for the first nine months of the 1996 fiscal year, excluding the effects of the
product line exit costs, totaled $32,548,000, a 5% increase over the same period
in the prior year of $30,914,000.  Excluding the effects of the Company's cost
to exit the domestic wholesale piano product line, net income for the third
quarter and nine month periods ended March 31 was a record for both of those
periods.  Net income for the third quarter, including the effects of the product
line exit costs, was $9,969,000 or $0.48 per Class B share, a decrease of 8%
when compared to the prior year.  Net income for the nine month period amounted
to $30,678,000 or $1.47 per Class B share, a decrease of 1% when compared to the
prior year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments totaled $117 million at March
31, 1996 as compared to $112 million one year earlier.  Working capital and the
current ratio continued to be strong at $208 million and 2.8 to 1, respectively,
at March 31, 1996 as compared to $202 million and 2.9 to 1, respectively, one
year earlier.

Operating activities continued to generate positive cash flow, which amounted to
$51 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.  The Company reinvested
$37 million of this amount in capital investments for the future, including the
acquisition of certain assets of ELMO Semiconductors and the capital stock of
ELMO Semiconductuers, SARL, production equipment upgrades, facility upgrades,
facility conversion costs for planned redeployment and trucking fleet upgrades. 
$16 million was used for financing activities, primarily to pay dividends.  Net
cash flow, excluding the purchases and maturities of short-term investments,
amounted to a positive $4 million for the nine month period ended March 31,
1996.

The Company anticipates maintaining a strong liquidity position throughout the
1996 fiscal year with cash needs being met by cash flows provided by operations,
available cash balances and short-term investments on hand.  Based upon the
Company's strong financial condition and ability to generate cash, management
believes that there is a substantial amount of unused short-term and long-term
borrowing capacity which could be utilized, if necessary.
