                  earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock
                  options. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, the following is a
                  reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic
                  and diluted EPS computations.

NOTE 5.           DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
                  -----------------------

                  During the second quarter of 2000, the Company
                  adopted a plan to dispose of its contract sewing operations
                  for the hospitality industry through liquidation. At July 1,
                  2000, the net assets of this operation consisted primarily of
                  goodwill ($565,481), inventories, machinery and equipment, and
                  trade receivables. This decision resulted in an after-tax loss
                  of $422,000 for disposal of this operation. Included in the
                  loss on disposal was a pre-tax provision of $60,000 for
                  estimated operating losses during the phase-out period.

                  In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company decided to
                  discontinue the manufacturing of furniture for sale to the
                  recreational vehicle and hospitality industries. At December
                  30, 2000, the assets of this operation consisted primarily of
                  inventories, equipment and trade receivables. This decision
                  resulted in an after-tax loss of $329,000 for disposal of this
                  operation. Included in the loss on disposal is a pre-tax
                  provision of $160,000 for estimated operating losses during
                  the phase-out period.

                  As of this date, management feels the reserves set up for
                  discontinued operations are adequate.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cautionary Statement: This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain statements
relating to future events, including results of operations, that are considered
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements represent the
Company's expectations or belief as to future events and, by their very nature,
are subject to risks and uncertainties which may result in actual events
differing materially from those anticipated. In particular, future operating
results and future liquidity will be affected by the level of demand for
recreational vehicles, manufactured housing and hotel/motel accommodations and
may be affected by changes in economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations,
competitive products and pricing pressures within the Company's markets, the
Company's ability to contain its manufacturing costs and expenses, and other
factors. Forward-looking statements by the Company speak only as of the date
made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise such
statements to reflect events or circumstances after such date or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

The Company's financial condition, as measured by the following ratios,
continues to be strong at the end of the Third Quarter 2001.

                                    September 29, 2001     September 30, 2000
                                    ------------------     ------------------
       Current Ratio                       2:20                   2:07
       Quick Ratio                         1:33                   0:99
       LT Debt to Total Capital           11.70%                 12.49%
       Working Capital                  $5,699,459             $5,154,647

Days sales outstanding (DSO) in accounts receivable were 38.5 days at September
29, 2001 compared to 38.7 days at September 30, 2000. Accounts receivable
decreased by 11.1% and inventories decreased by 33.8% compared to the same
period a year ago.

Management does not foresee any events which will adversely affect its liquidity
during 2001. At the quarter end, the Company had no borrowings against its
$5,000,000 revolving line of credit. With the available borrowing capacity and
the Company's cash balances, the financial condition is more than adequate to
finance internal growth and the acquisitions of businesses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations. (Continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thirteen Week Period Ended September 29, 2001 (Third Quarter 2001) compared to
Thirteen Week Period Ended September 30, 2000 ( Third Quarter 2000)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the Third Quarter 2001 were $9,205,017, compared to $9,731,021 for
the same period in the previous year, a 5.4% decrease. The Company experienced
sales declines in the recreational vehicle and hospitality markets.

Cost of products sold decreased to 77.6% in the Third Quarter 2001 compared to
78.9% a year ago. This improvement was the result of better labor efficiency.

Selling and administrative expenses were $1,441,145 in the Third Quarter 2001
versus $1,617,210 in the Third Quarter 2000. This decrease is largely
attributable to a reduction in wages.

Interest expense decreased from $35,571 in the Third Quarter 2000 to $12,940 in
the Third Quarter 2001 because of reduced borrowings and lower interest rates.

Net income increased to $372,529 in the Third Quarter of 2001 compared to
$211,075 of net income in the Third Quarter of 2000. This increase is the result
of better labor utilization and reduced administrative expenses.


Thirty-nine Week Period Ended September 29, 2001 (First Nine Months of 2001)
compared to Thirty-nine Week Period Ended September 30, 2000 (First Nine Months
of 2000)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the First Nine Months 2001 were $26,733,634, down from $34,337,684
in the prior year, a 22.1% decrease. The Company experienced similar sales
declines in each of the markets it serves.

Cost of products sold increased to 78.9% in the First Nine Months of 2001
compared to 78.3% a year ago. The increase is the result of allocating the fixed
expenses over a smaller sales volume.

Selling and administrative expenses were $4,572,944 in the First Nine Months of
2001 versus $5,223,646 in the First Nine Months of 2000. This decrease is
attributable to lowered performance based compensation and commission costs, and
a reduction in wages.

Income from continuing operations decreased to $609,568 in the First Nine Months
of 2001 compared to $1,372,253 in the First Nine Months of 2000. This decrease
can largely be attributed to the reduction in net sales.

Net income for the First Nine Months decreased to $609,568 or 22 cents per share
(diluted) compared to $850,745 or 27 cents per share (diluted) in the same
period of 2000. As discussed in Note 5 of the financial statements, net income
was reduced by $521,508 (net of tax) in the First Nine Months of 2000 due to the
discontinued operations.
