The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements and
related notes have been prepared  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the
Security  and  Exchange  Commission.  The  information  furnished  reflects  all
adjustments  which are,  in the  opinion  of  management,  necessary  for a fair
statement  of  results  of  operations.  Interim  results  are  not  necessarily
indicative  of the  results  for  the  year  end  and are  subject  to year  end
adjustments,  and audit by independent public accountants.  The balance sheet at
June 30,  1997,  has been taken from the audited  financial  statements  at that
date. The condensed  consolidated  financial statements and notes should be read
in conjunction with the Company's 1997 annual report.

Note 2 - Common Stock and Per Share Information

Income  per  share is  determined  based on  weighted  average  number of shares
outstanding during each period.

Note 4 - New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Effective for periods  beginning after December 15, 1997, the Company must adopt
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income" and No. 131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." No. 130 will require the Company to report comprehensive income as
part of the consolidated financial statements.  No. 131 will require the Company
to report  certain  information  about  operating  segments in the  consolidated
financial  statements.  The Company is currently  evaluating  the  provisions of
these statements to determine their impact.

Note 5 - Newly Adopted Accounting Standard

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 128,  "Earnings  Per Share." The  statement  simplifies  the  standards  for
computing  earnings per share (EPS),  and makes them comparable to international
EPS  standards.  The  statement  requires the  presentation  of both "basic" and
"diluted"  EPS on  the  face  of  the  income  statement  with  a  supplementary
reconciliation of numerators and denominators used in the calculations.  For the
periods presented, the numerators remained the sam in both the basic and diluted
EPS calculations.  The denominator was increased in the diluted  computation due
to the recognition of stock options as common stock equivalents.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain  matters  discussed in this section include  forward-looking  statements
involving  risks  and  uncertainties  including  but not  limited  to  economic,
competitive,  governmental  and  technological  factors  affecting  Knape & Vogt
Manufacturing  Company's  operations,  markets,  products,  services and prices.

Net sales for the nine months and third  quarter of fiscal 1998  increased  $4.1
million, or 3.1%, and $3.4 million, or 7.4%,  respectively,  over the comparable
periods of fiscal 1997.  Shelving  systems sales  increased by $2.2 million,  or
10.4%,  for the quarter due to the addition of two national retail customers for
the free-standing shelving products which was previously announced in the second
quarter. Drawer slide sales increased by $2.8 million, or 17.3%, for the quarter
due to strong sales of precision  drawer slides including  continued  ramp-up in
shipments  of precision  drawer  slides to the metal  office  furniture  market.
Hardware  product line sales  decreased  during the quarter by $0.3 million from
last year  despite  Feeny's  continued  increase in the sales of its kitchen and
bath storage products.  This increase was offset by a decrease in the Iron Horse
product  line,  caused by a reduction in promotions of the product line at major
home centers.  Furniture  component sales were eliminated with the sale of Modar
at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1997.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of sales was 75.7% of sales for the first  nine  months  and 76.6% of sales
for the third  quarter of fiscal  1998  compared to 74.9% and 75.1% of sales for
the first  nine  months  and third  quarter of fiscal  1997,  respectively.  The
increase is due in part to the Company's continued  investments in manufacturing
and sales to aggressively  enter the metal office furniture market. The increase
in cost of sales also  reflects  transition  costs that cannot be  classified as
restructuring  related to the reorganization of the Company's Canadian operation
near Toronto and continued softness in the Canadian dollar.

Selling  and  administrative  expenses  for the nine  months  was 15.9% of sales
compared  to 16.2%  for the same  period  last  year and for the  third  quarter
decreased  to 15.6% of sales from  15.8% for the same  quarter  last  year.  The
reductions  are due to the  Company's  ability  to keep  costs  flat on a higher
revenue stream, as well as the cost savings from the sale of Modar.

A one-time  restructuring charge of $2,386,971 was recorded in the third quarter
of fiscal 1998 for Knape & Vogt Canada. Knape & Vogt announced in March 1998 its
plans to reorganize its Canadian operation,  including the sale of the Company's
manufacturing  facility  and  equipment  in the Toronto  area.  The Company will
continue to sell and  distribute  its  products  in Canada and  maintain a sales
office  in the  Toronto  area.  The  after-tax  effect of the sale was a loss of
$1,786,971 or $.30 per share.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (Continued)

The fiscal 1997  restructuring  charge of  $373,235  represents  the  difference
between the  original  estimate  and the actual  loss from the  decision to sell
Modar, Inc. Modar was sold on March 28, 1997, to Preferred Fixture, Inc. located
in  Glastonbury,  Connecticut.  The  after-tax  effect of the sale was a loss of
$246,235 or $.04 per share.

Other Expenses

Interest expense was $298,941 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998,  compared to
$497,603 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The Company has reduced its level
of borrowing to  $17,400,000  at March 31, 1998,  from  $33,800,000 at March 31,
1997.  Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, was $1,016,053
compared to $1,518,791 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 1998, was
38.1% and 51.1%  compared  to 36.3% and 36.7% for the nine  months  and  quarter
ended  March 31,  1997.  The  effective  tax rates are  higher due to a possible
restriction  on fully  utilizing the net operating  losses  generated in Canada,
thereby reducing the tax benefit  recognized on the restructuring  loss recorded
for Knape & Vogt Canada.

Income from Continuing Operations

Income from  continuing  operations was $5,035,719 for the first nine months and
$548,483 for the third quarter of fiscal 1998.  Diluted  earnings per share from
continuing  operations  for the nine months was $.85 compared to $1.05 in fiscal
1997.  Diluted  earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $.10
compared  to $.34 for the third  quarter  last  year.  Excluding  the  after-tax
restructuring  charges of $1,786,971 in fiscal 1998 and $246,235 in fiscal 1997,
diluted earnings per share would have been $1.15 and $.40 for the nine and three
months ended March 31, 1998,  respectively,  and $1.09 and $.38 for the nine and
three months ended March 31, 1997.

Loss from Discontinued Operation

Loss from  discontinued  operation was $1,368,278,  or $.23 diluted earnings per
share,  for the first nine months and $1,274,639,  or $.22 diluted  earnings per
share for the three  months ended March 31, 1998.  The  discontinued  operation,
Roll-it,  was sold on March 27,  1998.  Included  in the  fiscal  1998 loss from
discontinued  operation is a third quarter loss of $937,268,  or $.16 per share,
which  represents  the difference  between the original  estimate and the actual
loss from the decision to sell Roll-it.

In the third quarter of fiscal 1997 the Company recorded a loss of $471,624,  or
$.08  diluted  earnings per share,  from  discontinued  operation,  which was an
adjustment to the estimated  provision for operating  losses of Roll-it  through
fiscal year 1997.  Income or loss  attributable to Roll-it's  operations  beyond
fiscal year 1997 were recorded as incurred in each reporting period.

Net Income

Net  income of  $3,667,441  for the nine  months was 2.7% of sales  compared  to
$5,751,115 for the first nine months last year which was 4.3% of sales.  For the
quarter  ended March 31, 1998,  net loss was $726,156  compared to net income of
$1,589,795 for the third quarter of last year.

                                   (Continued)

Net income for the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 1998,  includes
the after-tax  charge of $1,786,971 to record the  restructuring of Knape & Vogt
Canada and a loss from discontinued  operation of $1,368,278 for the nine months
and $1,274,639 for the third quarter.  Net income for the third quarter and nine
months  ended March 31,  1997,  includes  the  after-tax  charge of $246,235 for
restructuring and $471,624 for loss from discontinued operation.

Excluding  the  restructuring  charges  and  loss  from  discontinued  operation
charges,  net  income  was  $6,822,690  for the nine  months,  or 5.0% of sales,
compared  to  $6,468,974  for the first nine  months last year which was 4.9% of
sales.  For the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1998,  net  income  would  have been
$2,335,454 compared to $2,307,654 for the third quarter of last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash from  operating  activities  for the first nine  months of fiscal  1998
provided  $15,882,078  as  compared to  $6,297,467  for the first nine months of
fiscal 1997.  Accounts payable and accrued expenses  increased by $10,100,202 in
the first nine months of fiscal 1998 compared to a decrease of $1,156,226 in the
first nine months of fiscal 1997. Days sales outstanding at the end of the third
quarter of fiscal 1998 were 54 compared  to 58 at the end of fiscal  1997.  This
reduction has resulted in an improvement in our accounts  receivable  collection
of over $2,000,000  compared to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1997. The
overall  improvement  in liquidity is a direct result of the Company's  focus on
cash management.

Capital  expenditures  totaled  $3,548,463  for the nine months  ended March 31,
1998,  compared to $5,044,891 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.  Capital
expenditures  for the fiscal year are  anticipated to be between  $4,000,000 and
$5,000,000.  Long-term  debt of  $17,400,000 at the end of the third quarter has
declined  $11,600,000  since June 30, 1997,  primarily due to cash provided from
operating activities. In the remainder of the year, the Company will continue to
aggressively  attempt to generate  cash using the newly adopted  Economic  Value
