NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of
WinsLoew Furniture, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company" or
"WinsLoew"), which are for interim periods, do not include all
disclosures provided in the annual consolidated financial
statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997,
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated. The preparation of the consolidated financial
statements requires the use of estimates in the amounts reported.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which
are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results
of operations are presented for the Company's second quarter,
which is from March 28 through June 26, 1998, and for the six
month period which is from January 1 through June 26, 1998. The
results of operations for these two periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following:

=========== ============
3. Long-term Debt
WinsLoew's amended senior credit facility provides the Company
with a variable amount available under the revolving line of
credit. The amount available under its revolving credit line is
$20 million between July 1 each year through December 31. The
Company may, at its option, elect to increase the revolving
credit line at January 1 to a maximum of $40 million. For the
period January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998, the Company's
maximum revolver is $25 million.
4. Capital Stock
In January 1998, WinsLoew's Board of Directors approved a plan to
acquire up to 1,000,000 shares of the common stock. To date in
1998, the Company has acquired 75,000 shares for $2.1 million.
The purchases have been funded from the Company's credit facility
(see Note 3 above).
6
5. Discontinued Operations
During 1997 the Company's Board of directors adopted a plan to
discontinue the Company's ready-to-assemble ("RTA") operations.
Of the three business, one is in the process of being liquidated
and two business were being held for sale (See Note 6-Subsequent
Events). The results of operations have been classified in the
accompanying statement of income as discontinued operations.
Revenues from discontinued operations were $5,307,000 and
$6,655,000 in the second quarter of 1998 and 1997 and $9,973,000
and $12,995,000 for the year to date periods ended June 26, 1998
and June 27, 1997, respectively.
The current net assets of discontinued operations consist of
inventory and receivables, net of current liabilities including
the reserve for estimated losses through the disposal date. The
non-current assets of discontinued operations consist of
property, plant and equipment and goodwill.
6. Subsequent Events
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company entered into an
agreement to sell its Continental Engineering Group, Inc.
("Continental") subsidiary for approximately $7.9 million.
Continental was one of the RTA businesses being held for sale
(See Note 5). The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding
indebtedness under the Company's senior credit facility.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company purchased the
stock of Tropic Craft, Inc., a company involved in the design and
manufacture of casual furniture for the contract market. The
purchase price of approximately $9.9 million was financed under
the Company's senior credit facility.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
General
WinsLoew is engaged in the design, manufacture, and distribution
of casual furniture and contract seating furniture. WinsLoew's
casual furniture products are distributed through independent
manufacturer's representatives and are constructed of extruded
and tubular aluminum, wrought iron and cast aluminum. These
products are distributed through fine patio stores, department
stores, and full line furniture stores nationwide. WinsLoew's
contract seating products are distributed to a broad customer
base which includes architectural design firms, restaurants and
lodging chains.

Comparison of Second Quarters Ended June 26, 1998 and June 27,
1997
Net Sales: WinsLoew's consolidated net sales for the second
quarter of 1998 increased $2.3 million or 6.1%, to $39.8 million
from $37.5 million in the second quarter of 1998. If the casual
wrought iron business, sold in August 1997, is excluded in the
second quarter of 1997, consolidated net sales increased $5.5
million or 15.9%.
Both of the Company's product lines experienced strong sales
increases. Sales of casual products increased 13.9%, after
excluding 1997 quarter sales for the wrought iron business sold
in August 1997, in the second quarter of 1998. The Company
believes that due to its high quality, innovative designs and the
Company's delivery program, existing retail customers have
allocated more floor space, and are, therefore, requiring larger
inventories of the Company's casual aluminum furniture. Contract
Seating product sales increased 18.4% due to both core business
and increased demand in the lodging industry.
Gross Margin: Consolidated gross margin increased to 40.5% in
the second quarter of 1998, compared to 38.7% in the second
quarter of 1997. Both of the Company's product lines experienced
increases in gross margin. The Casual product line had improved
gross margins in the second quarter of 1997, due to the sale in
August 1997 of the wrought iron business and improved operating
efficiencies and lower raw material costs in the remaining
facilities. The gross margin for contract seating products
improved due to higher volume and improved efficiencies in both
of the Company's facilities.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general
and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million from the
second quarter of 1998, due to decreases in selling, general and
administrative expenses as a result of cost reduction programs.
Operating Income: As a result of the above, operating income
increased by $2.0 million, to $10.0 million (25.1% of net sales)
in the second quarter of 1998 compared to $8.0 million (21.4% of
net sales) in the second quarter of 1997. These expenses
decreased to 14.7% of net sales as the Company continues to
leverage these costs against increases in revenue.
Interest Expense: The Company's interest expense decreased
$291,000 in the second quarter of 1998, compared to the second
quarter of 1997, due to lower outstanding debt balances.
Provision for Income Taxes: The Company's effective tax rate for
the 1998 second quarter was 37.7% compared to 38.3% for the 1997
second quarter. This is greater than the Federal statutory rate
due to the effect of state income taxes and non-deductible
goodwill amortization.
9
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 26, 1998 and
June 27, 1997
Net Sales: WinsLoew's consolidated net sales for the first six
months of 1998 increased $4.3 million or 7.0%, to $64.9 million
from $60.7 million in the first six months of 1997. If the
casual wrought iron business, sold in August 1997, is
excluded from the year to date period in 1997, consolidated net
sales increased $9.1 million or 16.2%.
Both of the Company's product lines experienced strong sales
increases. The Casual product line increased sales by 16.4%,
after excluding sales in the 1997 period of the casual wrought
iron business sold in August 1997. The Company believes that due
to its high quality, innovative designs, and delivery program,
existing retail customers have allocated more floor space, and
are, therefore, requiring larger inventories of the Company's
casual aluminum furniture. The Contract Seating product line
experienced a sales increase of 16.0% as both core business and
the lodging industry increased demand.
Gross Margin: Consolidated gross margin increased to 38.9% in
the first six months of 1998, compared to 36.0% in the first six
months of 1997. Both product lines showed improved gross
margins. The Casual product line had improved gross margins in
the first six months of 1997, due to the sale of the casual
wrought iron business, greater operating efficiencies from
increased sales volumes and favorable raw material costs. The
contract seating business experienced improved gross margin due
to increased sales volume and improved operating efficiencies.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general
and administrative expenses decreased from the first six months
of 1997 by $586,000 for the first six months of 1998, primarily
due to the Company's ongoing cost reduction programs.
Operating Income: As a result of the above, operating income
increased by $4.0 million to $14.7 million (22.6% of net sales)
in the first six months of 1998, compared to $10.7 million (17.7%
of net sales) in the first six months of 1997.
Interest Expense: The Company's interest expense decreased
$815,000 in the first six months of 1998, compared to the same
period in 1997 due to lower outstanding debt balances.
Provision for Income Taxes: The Company's 1998 effective tax
rate of 37.4% and effective rate of 38.6% for the 1997 period is
greater than the federal statutory rate due to the effect of
state income taxes and non-deductible goodwill amortization.
Seasonality and Quarterly Information
The furniture industry is cyclical and sensitive to changes in
general economic conditions, consumer confidence, discretionary
income, interest rate levels, and credit availability.
Sales of Casual products are typically higher in the second and
fourth quarters of each year, primarily as a result of: (1) high
retail demand for casual furniture in the second quarter,
preceding the summer months, and (2) the impact of special sales
programs on fourth quarter sales. The Company's Casual product
sales will also be affected by weather conditions during the peak
retail selling season with a resulting impact on consumer
purchases of outdoor furniture products.
The results of operations for any interim quarter are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
10
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The WinsLoew's short-term cash needs are primarily for working
capital to support its debt service, accounts receivable, and
inventory requirements. The Company has historically financed
its short-term liquidity needs with internally generated funds
and revolving credit facility borrowings. The Company actively
monitors its cash balances and applies available funds to reduce
borrowings under its long-term revolving line of credit. At June
26, 1998, the Company has $22.8 million of working capital and
$22.8 million of unused and available funds under its credit
facilities ($20.0 million of unused and available funds on July
1, 1998 after giving effect to the reduction discussed in Note
2).
In May 1998, WinsLoew amended its senior credit facility to allow
the Company to borrow under its credit facility to purchase
shares of the Company's common stock (see Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements). As of June 26, 1998 there
was $10 million available for such repurchases.
Cash Flows From Operating Activities: For the first six months
of 1998, cash provided by operating activities was $18.4 million,
compared to cash provided of $16.5 million in the first six
months of 1997. During the first four months of each year,
accounts receivable in the Casual Furniture division normally
increase due to extended payment terms offered to customers.
During the second quarter, the Company receives payment on these
accounts receivable. Also, the improvement in cash provided by
operations in the first six months of 1998 compared to
1997benefited from the overall improvement in profits.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities: WinsLoew's net cash used
in investing activities was $499,000 during the first six months
of 1998 compared to $465,000 in 1997.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing
activities was $14.9 million in the first six months of 1998
compared to $16.0 million in the first six months of 1997. The
Company retired 75,000 shares at a cost of $2.1 million (see Note
4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
At June 26, 1998, the Company has no material commitments for
capital expenditures.
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
WinsLoew purchases some raw materials from several Italian
suppliers. These purchases expose the Company to the effects of
fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Italian
lira. If the U.S. dollar declines in value versus the Italian
lira, the Company will pay more in U.S. dollars for these
purchases. To reduce its exposure to loss from such potential
foreign exchange fluctuations, the Company will occasionally
enter into foreign exchange forward contracts. These contracts
allow the Company to buy Italian lira at a predetermined exchange
rate and thereby transfer the risk of subsequent exchange rate
fluctuations to a third party. However, if the Company is unable
to continue such forward contract activities and the Company's
inventories increase in connection with expanding sales
activities, a weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Italian
lira could result in reduced gross margins. The Company elected
to hedge a portion of its exposure to purchases made in 1998 by
entering into foreign currency forward contracts with a value of
$1.9 million, all of which is outstanding and unsettled at June
26, 1998, maturing at approximately $272,000 per month. The
Company did not incur significant gains or losses from these
foreign currency transactions.
11
Year 2000
The Company began an assessment of Year 2000 issues on its
computer system in mid 1995 and began the process of updating
hardware and software at each of its facilities. This process is
now complete. Subsequent to quarter end, one of the Company's
discontinued operations had been sold. The Company is in the
process of reviewing the requirements of the computer system at
its recent acquisition. From an ongoing cost standpoint, Year
2000 issues are not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is, from time to time, involved in routine
litigation. No such routine litigation in which the Company is
presently involved is material to its financial position, results
of operations, or liquidity.
