Page 4 of 12 5 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION - CONTINUED BASSETT FURNITURE INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED Note A. SECOND QUARTER 1997 NON-RECURRING AND OTHER CHARGES (thousands) On May 21, 1997, the Company announced that it would record pre-tax charges totaling $30,479 ($18,897 net of taxes, or $1.45 per share). These charges related to the elimination of the Impact product line and the closing of the Impact plants, discontinuance of certain National/Mt. Airy products and assimilation of the Mt. Airy plant into the Bassett Casegoods Division, the closing of the W. M. Bassett plant and redeployment of products within the other Bassett Casegoods plants, and other related costs. Of this amount, $22,374 was recorded in the second quarter with $8,105 to be recorded in subsequent periods. The components of the non-recurring and other charges, and the remaining reserve balances are as follows:
Accts Inventory write receivable Impairment of Restructuring & downs write-downs assets other Total ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd quarter charges $6,195 $2,250 $11,180 $2,749 $22,374 Amounts utilized during 3rd quarter 4,957 119 -0- 780 5,856 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remaining reserve at August 31 $1,238 $2,131 $11,180 $1,969 $16,518
Of the $8,105 in additional expenses projected to be incurred subsequent to May 31, 1997, the Company incurred $2,529 in the third quarter, leaving an estimated $5,576 for subsequent periods. On July 7, 1997, a major customer of the Company filed for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As a result of this action, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge as of May 31, 1997 of $6,000, $3,700 after-tax ( $ .28 per share). Note B. NON-RECURRING AND OTHER CHARGES (thousands) On October 14, 1997, the Company announced that it would record pre-tax charges totaling $19,381 ($12,016 net of taxes, or $.92 per share). The charges relate to the closing of three plants (in addition to the plant closings announced in the second quarter), continuing the Company's focus on its core business and further rationalizing its manufacturing capacity, the direct cost of a customer rebate program related to the Bedding Division, the write-down of obsolete inventories and other charges. The components of the pre-tax charges are:
Subsequent 3rd Quarter Quarters Total -------------- -------------- -------------- Charges included in cost of sales -Inventory write-downs $ 5,125 $ -0- $ 5,125 Miscellaneous charges included in SG&A $ 300 $ -0- $ 300 Non-recurring charges -Impairment of assets $ 800 $ -0- $ 800 -Restructuring and other charges $ 9,037 $ 4,119 $ 13,156 -------------- -------------- -------------- Total $ 15,262 $ 4,119 $ 19,381
The write-downs of inventories are a result of the discontinuation of certain suites and the elimination of SKU's in the Company's continuing efforts to focus its product offering. Miscellaneous charges included in SG&A relate primarily to the termination of factoring customer accounts. The asset impairment losses of $800 consist of the write-downs of operating assets at the Statesville crib plant and Burkeville veneer plant, and result from the evaluation of the Company's ability to recover asset costs given current market conditions. Page 5 of 12 6 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION - CONTINUED BASSETT FURNITURE INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED The restructuring and other charges of $13,156 relate to the transfer of leather upholstery production to the Company's Newton, NC plant and the closing of the existing leather upholstery plant, the Statesville plant and the Burkeville plant and reflects continuing costs until disposal of the latter two plants, the cost to maintain the leather upholstery plant and the transition costs related to the transfer of production from the leather upholstery plant and Statesville plant to other plants owned by the Company. The amounts included in subsequent quarters in the table above are estimates of period costs to be incurred in the future relating to the closed plants. Also included in restructuring and other charges are reserves for severance pay related to the consolidation of all customer service operations and sales management to the headquarters location in Bassett, VA, regulatory issues related to the boiler operations at one of the plants in Bassett, and certain expenses related to the Bedding Division marketing issues. Also included in restructuring and other charges is a reserve related to the Bedding Division. As announced in June of this year, the Company's management has learned that certain mattresses and box springs manufactured by a subsidiary, E. B. Malone Corporation, for sale to two major retail customers were made with different specifications than those originally manufactured for sale by those retailers. To remedy this situation, the Company intends to implement a program under which consumers who purchased these products can obtain a rebate directly from the Company. Consequently, the Company has recorded a charge for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 of $2,500, to pay for the direct cost of a customer rebate program. Note C. CONTINGENCY In a matter related to the Bedding Division issues described in note B, on June 18, 1997, a suit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles (the "Superior Court") against the Company, two major retailers and certain current and former employees of the Company seeking certification of a class consisting of all consumers who purchased these products from the two major retailers. The suit alleges various causes of action, including negligent misrepresentation, breach of warranty and fraud, and seeks compensatory damages of $100 million and punitive damages. The Company filed a demurrer seeking to dismiss several of the causes of action and on September 12, 1997, the Superior Court sustained the demurrer but granted the plaintiffs leave to amend certain of their claims. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of this litigation, the Company intends to vigorously defend this suit because it believes that the damages sought are unjustified and because certification of a class of consumers is unnecessary and inappropriate in this case. Because the Company believes that the two major retailers were unaware of the changes in product specifications, the Company has agreed to indemnify the two major retailers with respect to the above and any other claims arising out of the sale of the affected products. Note D. EARNINGS PER SHARE Per share amounts are based on 13,047,457 and 13,431,163 weighted average number of shares outstanding at August 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively.

INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate is less than the statutory rates because of the effect of non-taxable income in each period presented. OPERATING INCOME Operating income for the third quarter was up in the core businesses of Casegoods, Tables and Upholstery. However, operating income was down in the Bedding Division and Weiman Divisions. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Cash provided by operating activities:
Nine Months Ended August 31, ---------------------------- 1997 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- Cash provided by operating activities (thousands) $11,987 $22,859 $25,809
The current ratio was 4.79 to 1 at August 31, 1997 and 6.42 to 1 at November 30, 1996. Working capital was $154 million at August 31, 1997, compared to $164 million at November 30, 1996. Cash provided by operating activities is expected to be adequate for normal future operating requirements. There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at August 31, 1997. 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. Page 8 of 12 9 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION BASSETT FURNITURE INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION. Bassett Furniture Industries, Inc., announces third quarter operating earnings increased 5.1% (excluding the effect of restructuring and non-recurring and other charges) over the same period in the prior year on a sales increase of 1.1%. The Company also announced it was taking a pre-tax, non-recurring charge of $19.38 million ($12.02 million net of taxes, or $.92 per share) related to the closing of three additional plants and other charges. Of the total, $15.26 million will be recorded in the third quarter and the remainder in subsequent quarters, as incurred. This is a continuation of the Company's focus on its core business and further rationalization of its manufacturing capacity. Sales for the third quarter were $110.25 million, up from $109.01 million in the prior year. Earnings from furniture operations for the quarter, excluding non-recurring and other charges, increased to $3.12 million in 1997 from $2.97 million in 1996. Robert H. Spilman, Jr., President and COO, said the improvement in operating earnings is encouraging. "Bassett will continue its efforts to focus on its core business. We will be able to better utilize our manufacturing capacity with the closing of these additional plants and consolidating production of two of these plants into existing facilities." Bassett had previously announced the closing of its Statesville, NC crib plant and the transfer of crib production to its Chair Plant in Bassett, VA, and the Company's exit from the veneer business with the closing of its plant in Burkeville, VA. In addition, Bassett is closing its stand-alone leather upholstery plant in Conover, NC and transferring production to its major upholstery complex in Newton, NC to improve capacity utilization at those plants. The $19.38 million pre-tax charge includes $7.60 million in costs, including inventory writedowns, related to these plant closings. The Company is also taking a $4.56 million one-time charge related to obsolete inventory from discontinued suites resulting from the further elimination of SKU's in its efforts to focus its product offering. In addition, Bassett is reserving $2.50 million to cover the direct cost of a consumer rebate program to be initiated in response to the product specification issue at the Bassett Bedding Division that was announced by the Company in June. The remainder of the charge is for other expenses such as severance pay related to the consolidation of all customer service operations and sales management to the headquarters location in Bassett, regulatory issues related to the boiler operations at one of the plants in Bassett and certain expenses related to the Bedding Division marketing issues. Chairman and CEO, Paul Fulton, stated, "The third quarter charge addresses certain issues we have been focusing on since my arrival in early July. We are placing primary emphasis on improving our operations and profitability through aggressive reviews of our capital allocation and return on assets, and focusing on our core businesses and areas where we have the potential for acceptable returns. In addition, I want to take a proactive approach to resolving the issues that surfaced at our Bedding Division earlier this year. These and other changes that have taken place since the end of our second quarter place the Company in a better position for future growth and profitability."
