NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
March 31, 2001
Note A. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 29, 2001.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 30, 2000.
Note B. Inventories
Inventories of the Company and its subsidiaries are summarized as follows:

$ 79,515 $ 84,360
=============== ===============
Note C. Business Combinations
The Company completed the acquisitions of two small hearth product
distributors during the first quarter of 2001. On January 12, 2001, the
Company purchased the assets of M. H. Seifert Construction Inc. for a
purchase price of approximately $1.9 million. On February 9, 2001, the
Company purchased the stock of Heating Alternatives, Ltd. for approximately
$3.4 million. The excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the
businesses, or approximately $4 million, was recorded as goodwill and is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. This allocation of
purchase price is preliminary and subject to change as additional information
is obtained related to the fair values of the acquired net assets.
-7-
During the quarter, management finalized its integration plan related to the
acquisition of its Hearth Services division. Costs related to severance and
consolidation of facilities of approximately $2.4 million have been recorded
and reflected as an adjustment to goodwill. Of this amount, $0.8 million has
been utilized as of March 31, 2001. Management expects these activities to be
completed within the year. Final estimates did not have a material effect on
the original liabilities established in connection with the purchase.
Note D. Comprehensive Income
The Company's comprehensive income consists of an unrealized holding gain or
loss on equity securities available-for-sale under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and nominal foreign
currency adjustments.
Note E. Business Segment Information
Management views the Company as being in two business segments: office
furniture and hearth products with the former being the principal business
segment.
The office furniture segment manufactures and markets a broad line of metal
and wood commercial and home office furniture which includes file cabinets,
desks, credenzas, chairs, storage cabinets, tables, bookcases, freestanding
office partitions and panel systems, and other related products. The hearth
product segment manufactures and markets a broad line of manufactured gas-,
pellet- and wood-burning fireplaces and stoves, fireplace inserts, and
chimney systems principally for the home.
For purposes of segment reporting, intercompany sales transfers between
segments are not material and operating profit is income before income taxes
exclusive of certain unallocated corporate expenses. These unallocated
corporate expenses include the net cost of the Company's corporate
operations, interest income, and interest expense. Management views interest
income and expense as corporate financing costs and not as a business segment
cost. In addition, management applies one effective tax rate to its
consolidated income before income taxes so income taxes are not reported or
viewed internally on a segment basis.
No geographic information for revenues from external customers or for
long-lived assets is disclosed inasmuch as the Company's primary market and
capital investments are concentrated in the United States.
Reportable segment data reconciled to the consolidated financial statements
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, and April 1, 2000, is as
follows:

Note F. Subsequent Event
On April 30, 2001, the Company announced that it will consolidate the wood
office furniture production from its Williamsport, Pennsylvania, facility
into other manufacturing locations. The Williamsport operation will close
following an orderly transition of production to other facilities. Plans are
in place to complete these moves in the second and third quarters of 2001.
The one-time charge to pre-tax earnings is estimated to be approximately $2.5
million. This charge will include fixed asset write-offs, severance and other
expenses associated with the closedown of the facility.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A summary of the period-to-period changes in the principal items included in
the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is shown below:
Comparison of
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Increases (Decreases) Three Months Ended Three Months Ended
Dollars in Thousands March 31, 2001 & March 31, 2001 &
April 1, 2000 December 30, 2000
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Net Sales $(19,526) (4.1) % $(57,795) (11.1) %
Cost of products sold (17,705) (5.4) (41,068) (11.6)
Selling & administrative
expenses 7,836 7.0 (7,874) (6.2)
Provision for closing facilities
Interest income (67) (23.2) (507) (69.5)
Interest expense 83 2.9 (336) (10.3)
Income taxes (3,530) (25.6) (3,249) (24.0)
Net Income (6,277) (25.6) (5,775) (24.0)
Consolidated net sales for the first quarter ending March 31, 2001, were
$462.0 million, a 4.1% decrease from the $481.5 million in the first quarter
of 2000 due to lower sales volume caused by the slowdown in the economy. Net
income was $18.3 million, compared to $24.5 million for the same period a
year ago. Net income per common share for first quarter 2001 was $0.31 per
diluted share, a 24.4% decrease from $0.41 per share in first quarter 2000.
For the first quarter of 2001, office furniture comprised 79% of consolidated
net sales and hearth products comprised 21%. Net sales for office furniture
were down 8.0%. Hearth products sales increased 14.7% for the quarter
compared to the same quarter a year ago due to the February 29, 2000,
acquisition of American Fireplace Company and the Allied Group. Proforma
first quarter 2001 hearth products sales, excluding the acquisition from both
years, decreased 5.3% for the quarter. Office furniture contributed 91% of
first quarter 2001 consolidated operating profit before unallocated corporate
expenses and hearth products contributed 9%.
The consolidated gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2001 was 32.5%
compared to 31.6% for the same period in 2000. This increase in margin was
due to the acquisition of Hearth Services which generate higher returns at
the gross profit level. Excluding the Hearth Services acquisition, the
consolidated gross profit margin was 31.4% for both 2001 and 2000. The
Company continues to focus on improving
-10-
gross margins by improving the net selling price of products and reducing
production costs.
Selling and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2001 were 25.8%
of net sales compared to 23.1% in the comparable quarter of 2000. The largest
contributor to this increase was the acquisition of Hearth Services which is
a retail distributor with proportionately higher selling and administrative
expenses than manufacturing. Excluding the Hearth Services acquisition,
selling and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2001 were 24.0%
of net sales compared to 22.6% the previous year. This increase was due to
continued investment in sales and marketing expenses associated with the
Company's simplify, focus and branding strategy and lower overall sales
volume.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2001, cash and short-term investments increased to $18.6
million compared to a $3.2 million balance at year-end 2000. Net cash flows
from operations contributed to the improvement. Receivables decreased from
$211.2 million at year-end 2000 to $177.6 million due to the lower sales
volume. Cash flow and working capital management are major focuses of
management to ensure the Company is poised for growth.
Net capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2001 were $12.7 million and
primarily represent investment in new, more efficient machinery and
equipment. These investments were funded by a combination of cash from
operations and a revolving credit agreement.
During the first quarter of 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of
two small hearth products distributors for a total purchase price of
approximately $5.3 million.
It is normal for long-term debt to increase in the first quarter due to cash
requirements for marketing program payments and the annual funding of the
Company's profit-sharing retirement plan. In addition to the normal cash
requirements, the Company also completed two small acquisitions and funded a
captive insurance company during the first quarter of 2001.
On February 14, 2001, the Board approved a 9.1% increase in the common stock
quarterly cash dividend from $0.11 per share to $0.12 per share. The dividend
was paid on March 1, 2001, to shareholders of record on February 21, 2001.
This was the 184th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by the Company.
In the first quarter, the Company repurchased 807,285 shares of its common
stock at a cost of approximately $19.8 million or an average price of $24.56
per share. As of March 31, 2001, approximately $93.8 million of the Board's
current repurchase authorization remained unspent.
-11-
On May 7, 2001, the Board of Directors declared an $0.12 per common share
cash dividend to shareholders of record on May 17, 2001, to be paid on June
1, 2001.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 30, 2001, the Company announced that it will consolidate the wood
office furniture production from its Williamsport, Pennsylvania, facility
into other manufacturing locations. The Williamsport operation will close
following an orderly transition of production to other facilities. Plans are
in place to complete these moves in the second and third quarters of 2001.
The one-time charge to pre-tax earnings is estimated to be approximately $2.5
million. This charge will include fixed asset write-offs, severance and other
expenses associated with the closedown of the facility.
LOOKING AHEAD
The Company anticipates that the second quarter of 2001 will be challenging
in both sales and profits due to the current economic environment. The
Company is focused on optimizing 2001 performance, while continuing to follow
its long-term value creation strategies.
