NOTE 4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

         The excess of shares assumed to be issued under the stock option plans
         over shares that could be purchased with the proceeds based on the
         higher average or period ending market prices, was sufficient to
         cause fully diluted earnings per share to be different from primary
         earnings per share as shown in the consolidated statement of earnings.

NOTE 5.  ACQUISITIONS

         The Company acquired, effective March 15, 1997, the business and
         certain assets of Specialty Window Coverings Corp., an Elkhart, Indiana
         based manufacturer of pleated shades for the recreational vehicle
         market. The purchase price was $2,455,783 in cash plus conditional
         payments, based on earnings, of up to $2 million over the succeeding
         two years. The company

         assumed no liabilities. Specialty will continue to operate from its
         existing facilities, which are being expanded from 20,000 to 35,000
         square feet and which are leased from the former owners of Specialty.
         Specialty had net sales of approximately $5 million in 1996. The
         Company recognized goodwill of approximately $1.3 million in
         connection with the acquisition.

         On March 4, 1997, the Company further expanded its product line to
         include furniture and cushions for the recreational vehicle market
         by having purchased the assets of Action Design Interiors, also based
         in Elkhart, Indiana.

         The Company acquired, effective May 12, 1997, the business and certain
         assets of Southern Interiors, Inc., a Memphis, Tennessee based
         manufacturer of window coverings for the Hospitality (motel/hotel)
         Market for $844,313 in cash plus conditional payments, not to exceed
         $500,000, based on revenues over the next three years. The Company
         assumed no liabilities and recognized goodwill of approximately
         $400,000 in connection with the purchase. Southern Interiors
         manufactures window coverings and accessories from fabric supplied
         by its customers, largely hotel design and supply firms.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS  OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's financial condition, as measured by the following ratios, 
continues to be strong at the end of the Second Quarter.

                                        JUNE 28, 1997         DECEMBER 28, 1996
                                        -------------         -----------------
Current Ratio                               2:29                    2:94
Quick Ratio                                 1:64                    2:28
LT Debt to Total Capital                    3.64%                   4.03%
Working Capital                          $8,171,905              $9,003,836

Cash and Short-Term Investments totaled $5,211,147 at June 28, 1997. The 
current cash balances and borrowing capacity keep the company well-positioned 
to take advantage of internal growth or acquisition opportunities that might 
arise.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

The following tables show the percentage relationship to net sales of certain 
items in the Company's Statement of Earnings and net sales dollars by market:

THIRTEEN WEEK PERIOD ENDED JUNE 28, 1997 (SECOND QUARTER 1997) COMPARED TO 
THIRTEEN WEEK PERIOD ENDED JUNE 29, 1996 (SECOND QUARTER 1996)

Net sales for the Second Quarter were $11,860,367, compared to $10,540,139 
for the same period the previous year, a 12.5% increase. Sales by acquired 
businesses and increased sales by existing divisions to the Recreational 
Vehicle Market were offset somewhat by a decline in sales to the Manufactured 
Housing Market in some geographic regions.

Cost of products sold increased to 75.1% in the Second Quarter compared to 
73.1% a year ago. The increase is the result of higher cost of products sold 
percentages attributable to the acquired businesses and higher labor and 
other start-up costs largely related to the growth of the Recreational 
Vehicle products business.

Selling and administrative expenses were $1,652,735 in the Second Quarter 
1997 versus $1,473,563 in the Second Quarter 1996. This increase is related 
to the acquired businesses.

Net income in the Second Quarter was $879,551 or 29 cents per share 
(primary), compared with $910,548 or 31 cents per share (primary) in the same 
period a year ago. These results were a 3% and 6% decrease, respectively.

TWENTY-SIX WEEK PERIOD ENDED JUNE 28, 1997 (FIRST HALF 1997) COMPARED TO 
TWENTY-SIX WEEK PERIOD ENDED JUNE 29, 1996 (FIRST HALF 1996)

Net sales for the first half of 1997 were $21,246,909 compared to $19,988,882 
for the first half of 1996. Increases from acquisitions and in sales to the 
Recreational Vehicle and Hospitality Markets were offset by a decline in 
sales to the Manufactured Housing Market.

Net income was $1,582,156 in the first six months of 1997 versus $1,533,274 
for the same period of 1996. Overall performance for the respective periods 
was very comparable.
