MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONDENSED STATEMENT OF EARNINGS
Financial Condition - The Company's cash, cash equivalents, and temporary
investments increased by $454,000 since June 30, 1997. Accounts receivable
increased by $3,379,000 and inventories decreased by $1,589,000. Capital
expenditures were $1,510,000 for building improvements, manufacturing and
delivery equipment. Working capital increased by $497,000 for the quarter. In
the next nine months approximately $1,200,000 will be spent for manufacturing
and related equipment.
Economic Conditions - The Company anticipates that demand for its seating
products will continue at current moderate levels for the remainder of the
fiscal year, assuming there are no significant changes on the national level in
regards to interest rates or consumer spending. Management continues to focus on
product design for targeted markets and internal improvements in the areas of
cost savings identification and implementation, and manufacturing process
efficiencies.
Results of Operations for the Quarter - Sales increased by approximately
$3,140,000, compared to the prior year quarter. Recreational Vehicle Seating
volume increased $3,751,000 related to the Dygert Seating Division acquired
during the third quarter of the prior year. Home Furnishings and Commercial
Seating volume decreased $492,000 and $119,000, respectively, in comparison to
the prior year. Cost of goods sold increased $2,453,000 due to increased volume
and approximately $770,000 in increases related to lower margins and under
absorbed fixed costs. Selling, general, and administrative costs increased
$491,000 due to the volume increase. Interest and other income decreased
$103,000 primarily due to lower average levels of cash available for investment.
The aforementioned changes resulted in a decrease in net income after taxes of
$432,000, or $.06 per share, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996.
