Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ethan Allen Interiors Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ethan Allen
Interiors Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company") as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 1998.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also
have audited the financial statement schedule listed in the index. These
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ethan Allen
Interiors Inc. and Subsidiary as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended June 30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
---------------------
Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation
incorporated on May 25, 1989. The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary
Ethan Allen Inc. ("Ethan Allen") and Ethan Allen's subsidiaries. All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the
consolidated financial statements. All of Ethan Allen's capital stock
is owned by the Company. The Company has no other assets or operating
results other than those associated with its investment in Ethan Allen.
Nature of Operations
--------------------
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, is a leading
manufacturer and retailer of quality home furnishings and sells a full
range of furniture products and decorative accessories through an
exclusive network of 310 retail stores, of which 67 are Ethan
Allen-owned and 243 are independently owned. Retail stores are
primarily located in North America, with 20 located abroad. Ethan Allen
has 21 manufacturing facilities and 3 sawmills throughout the United
States.
Cash Equivalents
----------------
Cash equivalents of $4,999,000 and $9,754,000 at June 30, 1998, and
1997, respectively, consist of overnight repurchase agreements and
commercial paper with an initial term of less than three months. For
the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
Short Term Investments
----------------------
Short term investments consist primarily of certificates of deposits
and debt securities and have been classified as held-to-maturity,
having maturities of one year or less. Because of the short maturity of
the short term investments, the carrying amount approximates fair
value.
Inventories
-----------
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market.
Property, Plant and Equipment
-----------------------------
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of plant
and equipment is provided over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets on a straight-line basis. Estimated useful lives of
the respective assets generally range from twenty to forty years for
buildings and improvements and from three to twenty years for machinery
and equipment.
Property Held for Sale
----------------------
Property held for sale is recorded at net realizable values. The
Company continues to actively market the properties.
ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Intangible Assets
-----------------
Intangible assets primarily represent goodwill, trademarks and product
technology which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over forty
years. Goodwill represents the excess of cost of the Company over the
fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. The Company
continuously assesses the recoverability of these intangible assets by
evaluating whether the amortization of the intangible asset balances
over the remaining lives can be recovered through expected future
results. Expected future results are based on projected undiscounted
operating results before the effects of intangible amortization.
Product technology is measured based upon wholesale operating income,
while goodwill and trademarks are assessed based upon total wholesale
and retail operating income. The amount of impairment, if any, is
measured based on the fair value of projected discounted future
results.
Notes Receivable
----------------
Notes receivable represent financing arrangements under which Ethan
Allen has made loans to certain of its dealers. These loans primarily
have terms ranging from five to eight years and are generally secured
by the assets of the borrower. Interest is charged on outstanding
balances at a rate which generally approximates the prime rate plus an
additional rate which may be adjustable over the loan term.
Financial Instruments
---------------------
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments approximates
fair market value.
Deferred Financing Costs
------------------------
Debt financing costs are deferred and amortized, using the
straight-line method, over the term of the related debt.
Income Taxes
------------
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Revenue Recognition
-------------------
Sales are recorded when goods are shipped to dealers, with the
exception of shipments under Ethan Allen's Home Delivery Service Center
Program. These sales are recognized as revenue when goods are shipped
to the Home Delivery Service Centers, at which point title has passed
to the dealers. Ethan Allen, through its Home Delivery Service Centers,
provides preparation and delivery services for its dealers for a fee
which is recognized as revenue upon delivery of goods to the retail
customer. Sales made through Ethan Allen-owned stores are recognized
when delivery is made to the customer.
Advertising Costs
-----------------
Advertising costs are expensed when first aired or distributed.
ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)
Advertising costs for the fiscal years 1998, 1997, and 1996 were
$40,035,000, $27,712,000 and $21,289,000, respectively. Prepaid
advertising costs for the fiscal years 1998 and 1997 were $3,021,000,
and $1,497,000.
Pre-opening Expenses
--------------------
All costs incurred prior to the opening of a new Ethan Allen-owned
store are deferred and amortized over the respective store's first
twelve months of operations.
Closed Store Expenses
---------------------
Future expenses, such as rent and real estate taxes, net of expected
lease or sublease recovery, which will be incurred subsequent to
vacating a closed Ethan Allen-owned store, are charged to operations
upon a formal decision to close the store.
Earnings Per Share
------------------
Effective December 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share". The
statement sets forth guidance on the presentation of earnings per share
and requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share
on the face of the statement of operations. Basic earnings per share is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if all dilutive
potential common shares were exercised. All earnings per share amounts
have been restated to reflect this new standard.
Stock Options
-------------
In fiscal 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock
Based Compensation". As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company will
continue to follow the provisions of APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" and related interpretations in accounting for
compensation expense related to the issuance of stock options.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

During fiscal year 1998, the Company completed its optional early
redemption of all of its then-outstanding $52.4 million 8-3/4% Senior
Notes, due on March 15, 2001, at 101.458% of par value. As a result of
the early redemption, an extraordinary charge of $.8 million or $0.03 a
share, net of tax benefit, was recorded. The extraordinary charge
included the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs
associated with the Senior Notes and the premium related to the early

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)
During 1995, the Company had completed a five year financing
arrangement to provide up to $110.0 million of senior secured debt
under a revolving credit facility pursuant to a Credit Agreement with
Chase Manhattan Bank, as agent, proceeds of which were used to repay
existing senior secured debt. The revolving credit facility includes a
$40.0 million sub-facility for trade and standby letters of credit
availability and a $3.0 million swingline loan sub-facility. Loans
under the revolving credit facility bear interest at Chase Manhattan
Bank's Alternative Base Rate, or adjusted LIBOR plus .5%, which is
subject to adjustment arising from changes in the credit rating of
Ethan Allen's senior secured debt. For fiscal years ended June 30,
1998, 1997 and 1996 the weighted-average interest rates were 8.13%,
7.37% and 6.81%, respectively. There are no minimum repayments required
during the term of the facility.
During 1997, the Company amended its Credit Agreement which it had
originally entered into during 1995, with Chase Manhattan Bank as
agent. Amendments to the Credit Agreement include: (1) the reduction of
the commitment of senior secured debt under a revolving credit facility
to $100.0 million; (2) reduction of the Eurodollar spread used in
determining adjusted LIBOR which is subject to adjustment arising from
changes in the credit rating of Ethan Allen's senior secured debt or
Fixed Charge Ratio; (3) elimination of a lien on certain fixed assets
as collateral and (4) amendment of certain additional debt and
restricted payment limitations. At June 30, 1998 and 1997, there were
no outstanding revolving loans under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement is secured by a first lien in respect of Ethan
Allen's accounts receivable, inventory, trademarks, patents and the
Company's shares of Ethan Allen's capital stock. The Company has
guaranteed Ethan Allen's obligation under the Credit Agreement and has
pledged all the outstanding capital stock of Ethan Allen to secure its
guarantee.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants requiring the maintenance of
certain defined tests and ratios and limit the ability of Ethan Allen
and the Company to incur debt, engage in mergers and consolidations,
make restricted payments, make asset sales, make investments and issue
stock. The Credit Agreement contains various customary events of
default. Ethan Allen satisfied the requirements of the covenants in the
Credit Agreement at June 30, 1998.
In June 1996, the Company closed on loan commitments in the aggregate
amount of approximately $1.4 million related to the modernization of
its Beecher Falls manufacturing facility. Loans made pursuant to these
commitments bear interest at rates of 3% to 8% and have maturities of 7
to 30 years. The loans have a first and second lien in respect of
equipment financed by such loans and a first and second mortgage
interest in respect of a building, the construction of which was
financed by such loans.
Aggregate scheduled maturities of long-term debt for each of the five
fiscal years subsequent to June 30, 1998, are as follows (dollars in
thousands):
1999 . . . . . . . . . . . $ 154

During fiscal 1997, Ethan Allen received a $5.2 million investment tax
credit from the State of Vermont. The credit may be utilized to offset
80% of current and future years tax liability and may be carried
forward up to 10 years. Ethan Allen does not expect to be able to
utilize the entire credit. The estimated net realizable credit of $2

Management believes that the results of future operations will generate
sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets.

(12) Business Reorganization
The Company implemented a business reorganization ("Reorganization")
effective July 1, 1995, which permitted a separation of manufacturing
operations from distribution and store operations. The Company believes
that the separation of manufacturing operations from distribution and
store operations provides for improved measures of performance
including profitability of operations and return on assets, by allowing
the Company to more easily allocate income, expenses and assets to the
separate operations of the Company's business. The Reorganization
consisted principally of the following elements: (i) the contribution
of Ethan Allen's manufacturing equipment to Ethan Allen Manufacturing
Corporation ("EAMC"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ethan Allen
(ii) EAMC entered into operating lease arrangements with Ethan Allen
for real property used in manufacturing operations (iii) the
contribution by Ethan Allen of certain of Ethan Allen's trademarks and
service marks, design patents and related assets to Ethan Allen Finance

(13) Litigation
The Company has been named as a potentially responsible party ("PRP")
for the cleanup of four sites currently listed or proposed for
inclusion on the National Priorities List ("NPL") under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980 ("CERCLA"). Numerous other parties have been identified as PRP's
at these sites. The Company believes its share of waste contributed to
these sites is small in relation to the total; however, liability under
CERCLA may be joint and several. The Company has total reserves of
$500,000 applicable to these sites, which the Company believes would be
sufficient to cover any resulting liability. With respect to all of
these sites, the Company believes that it is not a major contributor
based on the very small volume of waste generated by the Company in
relation to total volume at the site. The Company has concluded its
involvement with one site and settled as a de-minimis party. For two of
the sites, the remedial investigation is ongoing. A volume based
allocation of responsibility among the parties has been prepared. With
respect to the fourth site, a consent decree to finally resolve the
matter with the EPA has been signed.
(14) Segment Information
The Company's operations are classified into two business segments:
wholesale and retail home furnishings. The wholesale home furnishings
segment is principally involved in the manufacture, sale and
distribution of home furnishing products to a network of
independently-owned and Ethan Allen-owned stores. The retail home
furnishings segment sells home furnishing products through a network of
Ethan Allen-owned stores. These products consist of case goods (wood
furniture), upholstered products, home accessories and indoor/outdoor
furniture.
Wholesale profitability includes the wholesale gross margin which is
earned on wholesale sales to all retail stores, including Ethan
Allen-owned stores. Retail profitability includes the retail gross
margin which is earned based on purchases from the wholesale business.
Inter-segment eliminations primarily comprise the wholesale sales and
profit on the transfer of inventory between segments. Operating
earnings by business segment are defined as sales less operating costs
and expenses. Income and expense items, such as corporate operating
expenses, are included in the applicable segment. Identifiable assets
are those assets used exclusively in the operations of each business
segment. Corporate assets principally comprise cash, deferred financing
costs, and deferred income taxes.
