NOTE TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS I. Per share amounts are based on 13,614,639 and 14,086,815 weighted average number of shares outstanding at February 29 (28), 1996 and 1995, respectively. Page 4 of 8 5 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION - CONTINUED BASSETT FURNITURE INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Major components of net income expressed as a percentage of net sales:
First Quarter Ending February ------------------------------ 1996 1995 1994 ---- ---- ---- Cost of sales 84.13% 83.31% 83.70% Gross profit 15.87 16.69 16.30 SG&A expenses 13.83 12.96 12.71 Income from operations 2.04 3.73 3.59 Other income, net 3.61 1.87 1.91 Income before income taxes 5.65 5.60 5.50 Income taxes 1.44 1.64 1.61 Accounting change -0- -0- .42 Net income 4.21 3.96 3.47
NET SALES Net sales for the 1996 first quarter compared to prior years:
1996 1995 1994 ---- ---- ---- Net sales (thousands) $111,951 $123,551 $121,664 Percentage change from prior year (9.4)% 1.6% 1.1%
Retail furniture sales, which showed some signs of recovery in the latter part of last year's fourth quarter, slipped in December and January, with February showing some improvement. The overall slowdown in retail furniture sales in the first quarter was caused, in part, by declining consumer confidence. The January consumer confidence index sank to its lowest level in two years. This decline in retail furniture sales caused net sales for the quarter to fall $11,600,000 compared to 1995. Shipments decreased in 1996 in all Divisions except Bedding which had a small increase. COSTS AND EXPENSES Cost of sales increased 82 basis points in the 1996 first quarter over 1995. This increase follows an increase of approximately 90 basis points in the full fiscal year 1995 over 1994. This decline in margins has been caused primarily by the inability to increase sales prices across all product lines to compensate for incurred raw material cost increases. This is shown by a comparison of the cost components comprising cost of sales as a percentage of net sales:
First Quarter Ending February ----------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 ---- ---- ---- Materials 50.04% 49.39% 49.66% Labor 21.29 21.54 21.41 Overhead 12.80 12.38 12.63 ------- ------- ------- 84.13% 83.31% 83.70%
The deterioration in the overhead percentage was mainly due to reduced production schedules which had to be reduced during the quarter to adjust to the declining backlog. However, total overhead costs declined by almost $1,000,000 in 1996 from 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 87 basis points in the 1996 first quarter over 1995. The fixed costs in this classification were held under control in 1996 compared to 1995 and did not increase; however, the percentage relationship to net sales increased because of the decline in net sales.

INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate has declined in 1996 because of the decline in operating income and the increase in not-fully-taxed other income:
First Quarter Ending February ----------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 ---- ---- ---- Effective Income Tax Rate 25.5% 29.2% 29.3%
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Cash provided by operating activities:
First Quarter Ending February ------------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 ---- ---- ---- Cash provided by operating activities (thousands) $11,232 $5,875 $5,210
The increase in 1996 was caused by the decline in net current assets, exclusive of cash and cash equivalents. The Company continued its program of purchase and retirement of its Common Stock in the first quarter of 1996 acquiring 78,700 shares at an average cost of $23.15 for a total expenditure of $1,822,000. In fiscal years 1995 and 1994, 429,701 shares and 361,386 shares were acquired for a total cost of $10,125,000 and $9,546,000, respectively. The current ratio was 6.74 to 1 at February 29, 1996 and 5.79 to 1 at November 30, 1995. Working capital increased to $176 million at February 29, 1996, up from $170 million at November 30, 1995. Cash provided by operating activities is expected to be adequate for normal future operating requirements. There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at February 29, 1996. Capital expenditures that will be made in the future for normal expansion or other operating purposes will be made from funds on hand or those generated from operations.
