PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated was
incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia in 1930. The executive offices are located in
Bassett, Virginia.
Capital expenditures totaled $10 million in 1994. Major
projects included new material handling systems in two
Wood Products plants. These "rough-end" systems are
designed to improve lumber yield and labor efficiency.
There have been no material changes in the mode of
conducting business in the fiscal year beginning December
1, 1993.
INDUSTRY SEGMENT
In accordance with the instructions for this item,
Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated and its
subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned (Company), is
deemed to have been engaged in only one business segment,
manufacture and sale of furniture, for the three years
ended November 30, 1994.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company manufactures and sells a full line of
furniture for the home: bedroom and dining suites and
accent pieces; occasional tables, wall and entertainment
units; upholstered sofas, chairs and love seats (motion
and stationary); recliners; and mattresses and box
springs. The Company's products are distributed through
a large number of retailers, principally in the United
States. The retailers selling the Company's products
include mass merchandisers, department stores,
independent furniture stores, chain furniture stores,
decorator showrooms, warehouse showrooms, specialty
stores and rent-to-own stores.
Because of the dramatic changes that have taken place in
recent years in the retail home furnishings distribution
network, including consolidation and elimination of many
small retail stores, Bassett developed the Bassett
Gallery Program. At November 30, 1994, 256 galleries are
operational with 33 more being added.
In October of 1994, the Company announced a new program
that was developed in conjunction with several of the
Bassett Gallery retail dealers. The new concept is
called The Bassett Direct Plus Dealership Program. A
Bassett Direct Plus Dealership is a free standing
exclusive Bassett store, between 15,000 and 20,000 square
feet, which displays in gallerized settings all Bassett
product groups. The cornerstone of this program is the
alliance between Bassett and the retail dealer designed
to create the closest possible working relationship
between the two. This is accomplished by the use of the
very latest computer technologies such as EDI and
BassNet, which are part of a streamlined management
system for the retail dealer.
In 1994, the Company became the first furniture
manufacturer to take advantage of the "Information
Superhighway" through the Company's new Electronic
Showroom on CompuServe (the nation's largest computer
information service). Consumers have the ability to tour
the on-line showroom, learn about the
3
Page 3 of 24
Company and its products and, at their request, be
referred to the Bassett retail dealer nearest them.
In addition, in 1994 the Company signed three licensing
agreements: Bassett Divisions for the "Bassett - J.G.
Hook Home Fashions Collection"; National/Mt. Airy
Division for the "Carson Prairie Collection"; and Weiman
Division for designs by the Japanese designer, Yoshiharu
Hatano.
Raw materials used by the Company are generally available
from numerous sources and are obtained principally from
domestic sources. The cost pressures on lumber and
lumber related products (which increased significantly in
1993) eased off somewhat in 1994; however, cost increases
in other raw materials were experienced in 1994.
Further, it continued to be very difficult to pass
through the incurred cost increases to retail dealers in
the form of increased sales prices.
The Company's trademark "Bassett" and the names of its
marketing divisions and product collections are
significant to the conduct of its business. This
importance is due to consumer recognition of the names
and identification with the Company's broad range of
products. The Company owns certain patents and licenses
that are important in the conduct of the Company's
business.
The furniture industry is not considered to be a seasonal
industry.
There are no special practices in the furniture industry,
or applicable to the Company, that would have a
significant effect on working capital items.
The Company is not dependent upon a single customer, the
loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the
Company. Sales to one customer (J. C. Penney Company)
amounted to approximately 13% of gross sales in 1994, 12%
in 1993 and 13% in 1992.
The Company's backlog of orders believed to be firm was
$66,500,000 at November 30, 1994 and $67,400,000 at
November 30, 1993. It is expected that the November 30,
1994 backlog will be filled within the 1995 fiscal year.
None of the Company's business involves government
contracts.
The furniture industry is very competitive as there are a
large number of manufacturers both within the United
States and offshore who compete in the marketplace on the
basis of quality of the product, price, delivery and
service. Based on annual sales revenue, the Company is
one of the largest furniture manufacturers in the United
States. The Company has been successful in this
competitive environment because its products represent
excellent values combining price and superior quality and
styling; prompt delivery; and quality, courteous service.
Competition from foreign manufacturers is not any more
significant in the marketplace today than competition
from domestic manufacturers.
The furniture industry is considered to be a "fashion"
industry subject to constant change to meet the changing
consumer preferences and tastes. As such, the Company is
continuously involved in the development of new products
and designs. Due to the nature of these efforts and the
close relationship to the manufacturing operations, the
costs thereof are considered normal operating costs and
are not segregated.
The Company is not involved in "traditional" research and
development activities. Neither are there any customer -
sponsored research and development activities involving
the Company.
4
Page 4 of 24
In management's view, the Company has complied with all
federal, state and local standards in the area of safety,
health and pollution and environmental controls.
Compliance with these standards has not had a material
adverse effect on past earnings, capital expenditures or
competitive position.
The Company anticipates increased regulation on the
furniture industry from federal and state agencies
particularly in the areas of emission of fumes from the
furniture finishing processes and emission of
particulates into the atmosphere (saw dust and boiler
ash). The Company cannot at this time estimate the
impact of compliance with these new, more stringent
standards on the Company's operations or costs of
compliance.
The Company had approximately 7,800 employees at November
30, 1994.
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES
The Company has no foreign operations, and its export
sales are insignificant.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated and Subsidiaries
A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all temporary, highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount
approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.
Trade Accounts Receivable
The Company has only one business segment, the manufacture and sale of
household furniture. Substantially all of the Company's trade accounts
receivable are due from retailers in this market. The Company performs on-going
evaluations of its customers' credit worthiness and, generally, requires no
collateral.
Inventories
All inventories are valued at last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost which is not in
excess of market.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
generally by accelerated methods.
Investment in Securities
Effective December 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities (Statement 115). Under Statement 115, the Company
classifies its investment in securities as available-for-sale, which are
reported at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related
tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from income and are
reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and
losses from securities classified as available-for-sale are included in income
and are determined using the specific identification method for ascertaining
the cost of securities sold.
The investment in securities at November 30, 1993, is reported at the lower of
aggregate portfolio cost or market.
Investment in Affiliated Companies
The equity method of accounting is used for the investment in affiliated
companies. The carrying amounts approximate the Company's equity in their
underlying net assets.
Investment in Corporate Owned Life Insurance
Investment in corporate owned life insurance policies is recorded net of policy
loans and is included in other assets. The net life insurance expense, which
includes premiums and interest on cash surrender borrowings, net of increases
in cash surrender values, is included in other income.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from sales is recognized when the goods are shipped to the customer.
Sales to one customer, as a percent of gross sales, amounted to 13% in 1994,
12% in 1993 and 13% in 1992.
Income Taxes
For 1994, deferred income taxes were determined based on the difference between
the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected
to reverse. The Company had previously determined income tax expense under the
deferred method, whereby timing differences were recorded at the tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences arose and were not adjusted for
tax rate changes.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares
outstanding. All share and per share data has been adjusted to reflect the 5
for 4 stock split in 1993 and the 3 for 2 stock split in 1992.

D. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATED COMPANIES
The Company has an equity interest in a company which leases exhibition space
to furniture and accessory manufacturers and an equity interest in a
manufacturer of particleboard for use principally in the furniture industry.
The Company's share of income from operations and net income from these
affiliates is as follows: (in millions)
1994 1993 1992
---- ---- ----
Income from operations $7.3 $7.0 $6.6
Net income 4.5 3.9 3.6
E. INCOME TAXES
Effective December 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and has
reported the cumulative effect of the change in the method of accounting for
income taxes in the financial statements for 1994, in the amount of $510,200.
The principal cause of this adjustment was due to the basis difference of an
acquisition made in prior years which was accounted for as a purchase
transaction.
A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate and the effective tax
rate, as a percentage of pretax income, is as follows:
1994 1993 1992
----- ----- -----
Statutory federal income tax rate 35.0% 35.0% 34.0%
Dividends received exclusion (1.6) (1.5) (1.5)
Tax exempt interest (1.7) (1.5) (1.3)
Targeted jobs tax credit (0.8) (1.1) (0.9)
Unremitted affiliate income (3.4) (2.9) (2.5)
State income tax, net of
federal benefit 2.5 2.0 2.5
Corporate owned life insurance (1.3) -0- -0-
Other (0.5) (0.8) (0.3)
----- ----- -----
Effective tax rate 28.2% 29.2% 30.0%
===== ===== =====
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at November 30, 1994,
are presented below:(in thousands)
1994
------
Deferred tax assets:
Accrued retirement benefits $3,584
Provision for doubtful accounts 518
Insurance claims and reserves 1,141
Excess of tax over financial statement
basis of investment securities 647

Unrealized holding gains and losses 1,722
Other 424
------
Total gross deferred tax liabilities 5,597
------
Net deferred tax asset $1,049
======
Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future
taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible,
management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the
benefits of the deferred tax assets.
The provision for deferred income taxes is comprised of the following:
(in thousands)
1993 1992
---- ----
Special credits $190 $497
Unremitted affiliate income 331 300
Accrued retirement benefits (280) (220)

F. RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company has a qualified defined contribution plan (Employee
Savings/Retirement Plan) which covers all employees, with over one year
service, who elect to participate and have fulfilled the necessary service
requirements. Employee contributions to the Plan are matched by the Company at
the rate of 115% of the first 2% through 5% of the employee's contribution,
based on seniority. The Plan incorporates provisions of Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code. The expense for the Plan for 1994, 1993 and 1992,
amounted to approximately $2,444,000, $2,337,000 and $2,250,000, respectively.
The Company has a supplemental retirement Income Plan that covers certain
senior executives and provides additional retirement and death benefits. Also,
the Company has a Deferred Compensation Plan for certain senior executives
which provides for voluntary deferral of compensation, otherwise payable. The
unfunded future liability of the Company under these Plans is included in
deferred liabilities.
G. STOCK OPTION PLANS
In 1994, the stockholders approved the 1993 Long Term Incentive Plan for key
employees of the Company. The Company has reserved for issuance 450,000 shares
of common stock pursuant to the Plan. Options granted under the Plan may be for
such terms and exercised at such times as determined at the time of grant by
the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Under
terms of the Plan, options to purchase 68,650 shares of Common Stock were
granted in 1994 at $26.25 per share, the fair market value at date of grant. No
options were exercised in 1994. Additionally, the Plan includes provisions for
the granting of stock appreciation rights and certain restricted awards. At
November 30, 1994, no such grants had been issued.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors

responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to

statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bassett Furniture
Industries, Incorporated and subsidiaries as of November 30, 1994 and 1993, and

NET SALES
Net sales for 1994 compared to 1993 and 1992 were as follows:
1994 1993 1992
---- ---- ----
Net sales (in millions) $510.6 $503.8 $473.4
Percentage increase over prior year 1.3% 6.4% 17.9%
The majority of the increase in net sales from 1993 to 1994 came from the Table
Division, with other Divisions reporting relatively flat sales. The net sales
increase from 1992 to 1993 was evenly spread throughout all Divisions. The
significant increase between 1991 and 1992 came from the Upholstery and Bedding
Divisions.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Cost of sales remained level in 1994 and 1993, at 82.2% and 82.0%,
respectively. The negative effect on cost of sales caused by increases in the
cost of lumber and lumber related products which occurred in 1993, moderated in
1994; however, cost increases in other major raw materials restricted
improvement in the cost of sales percentage in 1994. During each of the three
years ending in 1994, the relationship of each cost component comprising cost
of sales remained constant (materials 49%, labor 21%, overhead 12%).
There was no material change in the percentage of selling, general and
administrative expenses to net sales in the three years ending in 1994.
OTHER INCOME, NET
Note H in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements discloses the
components of other income.
INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for 1994 was 28.2%, down from 29.2% and 30.0% in 1993
and 1992, respectively. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," in 1994
and reported the cumulative effect of the change in accounting for income taxes
in the amount of $510,200 in the 1994 financial statements. Note E in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements contains complete disclosure of the
Company's income tax status.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
Cash provided by operating activities has remained constant in the last three
years ($23.7 million in 1994, $22.4 million in 1993 and $23.1 million in 1992).
The growth in inventories in each of these years has barred additional
generation of cash. The increasing inventory levels are closely monitored and
controlled by senior management.
Traditionally, the Company has purchased (rather than leased) its capital
equipment requirements. During 1994, $10,000,000 was expended for new equipment
and facilities. A comparison of purchases of property, plant and equipment and
depreciation charges follows:
1994 1993 1992
---- ---- ----
Purchases of property, plant and
equipment (in millions) $10.0 $6.2 $9.9
Depreciation charges (in millions) 8.8 9.0 8.5
The Company instituted and completed a program to repurchase its Common Stock
in 1994, purchasing 361,386 shares at an average cost of $26.42 or a total
expenditure of $9.5 million.
The current ratio was 5.67 to 1 and 6.07 to 1 at November 30, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Working capital was $164 million and $168 million at November 30,
1994 and 1993, respectively.
Cash provided by operating activities is expected to be adequate for normal
future cash requirements.
There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at November 30,
1994. Capital expenditures made in the future for normal expansion are
anticipated to be made from funds generated by operating activities.
The Company has never used the debt or equity markets as sources of funds or
capital.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of
historical dollars and are not intended to show the impact of inflation or
changing prices. Neither inflation nor changing prices has had a material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of
operations in prior years.
