PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS. The Company was incorporated in 1901 as
the successor to a partnership formed in 1883 at Carthage, Missouri. That
partnership was a pioneer in the manufacture and sale of steel coil bedsprings.
Products produced and sold for the furnishings industry constitute the largest
portion of the Company's business. These include primarily components used by
companies making furniture and bedding for homes, offices and institutions. Also
in the furnishings area, the Company produces and sells some finished furniture
and carpet cushioning materials. In addition, a group of diversified products is
produced and sold. The Company believes it is the largest producer of a diverse
range of furniture and bedding components in the United States. The term
"Company," unless the context requires otherwise, refers to Leggett & Platt,
Incorporated and its majority owned subsidiaries.

The Company completed several acquisitions during 1993, primarily businesses
engaged in manufacturing components for the furnishings industry and raw
materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its products.

In September 1993 the Company acquired Hanes Holding Company ("Hanes"),
headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Hanes is a converter and
distributor of woven and nonwoven construction fabrics, primarily in the
furnishings industry. Hanes also is a commission dye/finisher of nonfashion
fabrics for the furnishings and apparel industries. Immediately following the
Company's acquisition of Hanes, the Company (through Hanes) completed the
acquisition of VWR Textiles & Supplies, Inc., which converts and distributes
woven and nonwoven construction fabrics and manufactures other soft goods
components for sale to manufacturers of furniture and bedding.

Also, in September 1993 the Company acquired full ownership of several wire
drawing mills which had been previously jointly owned.

For further information concerning acquisitions reference is made to Note B
of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

PRODUCTS AND MARKET. The Company is engaged primarily in the manufacture
and distribution of components used by companies that manufacture furniture and
bedding for homes, offices and institutions. Manufacturers of finished furniture
and bedding use many component parts which can be standardized and more
efficiently produced in volumes beyond the individual needs of most such
manufacturers. It is this market for component parts which the Company serves
through its furniture and bedding component product lines.

The Company's components customers manufacture bedding (mattresses and
boxsprings), upholstered furniture and other finished products for sale to
wholesalers, retailers, institutions and others. Historically, the furnishings
industry has been highly fragmented and included many relatively small
companies, widely dispersed geographically. Although there has been a trend
toward consolidation in the furnishings industry, the industry as a whole
remains fragmented to a substantial degree.

The Company's component products are sold and distributed primarily through
the Company's sales personnel.

In addition to components, the Company manufactures and sells finished
products for the furnishings industry. These finished products include
sleep-related finished furniture and carpet cushioning materials. Some of the
finished furniture products are sold to bedding and furniture manufacturers
which resell the finished furniture under their own labels to wholesalers or
retailers. Certain finished furniture such as bed frames, fashion beds, daybeds
and other select items are also sold by the Company directly to retailers. The
Company's carpet cushioning materials are sold primarily to floor covering
distributors with some direct contract sales.

Reference is also made to Note I of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further segment information.

The Company's international division is involved primarily in the sale of
machinery and equipment designed to manufacture the Company's Mira-Coil-R-
(Continuous Coil) innersprings and certain other spring products and the
licensing of patents owned and presently maintained by the Company in a number
of foreign countries. The Company also sells quilting machines and similar
equipment and certain other component products in some foreign countries.
Foreign sales are a minor portion of the Company's business.

3

CUSTOMERS. The Company has several thousand customers, most of which are
engaged in manufacturing finished bedding and furniture products. None of the
Company's customers account for as much as 10% of sales and, in management's
opinion, the loss of any single customer would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business as a whole.

SOURCES OF RAW MATERIALS. Steel rod (from which steel wire is drawn) and
coil steel are the Company's most important raw materials. Other raw materials
used by the Company include aluminum ingot, aluminum scrap, angle steel, sheet
steel, various woods, textile scrap, foam chemicals, foam scrap, woven and
nonwoven fabrics and plastic.

Substantially all of the Company's requirements for steel wire, an important
component in many of the Company's products, are supplied by Company-owned wire
drawing mills. A substantial portion of the steel rod used by these wire drawing
mills is purchased pursuant to a rod supply agreement with a major steel rod
producer. The Company also produces, at various locations, for its own
consumption and for sale to customers not affiliated with the Company, slit coil
steel, welded steel tubing, textile fibers, dimension lumber and aluminum ingot.

Numerous supply sources for the raw materials used by the Company are
available. The Company did not experience any significant shortages of raw
materials during the past year.

PATENTS: RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. The Company holds numerous patents
concerning its various product lines. No single patent or group of patents is
material to the Company's business as a whole. The Company's more significant
trademarks include those listed with the Company's principal products.

The Company maintains research, engineering and testing centers at Carthage,
Missouri, and also does research and development work at several of its other
facilities. The Company is unable to precisely calculate the cost of research
and development since the personnel involved in product and machinery
development also spend portions of their time in other areas. However, the
Company believes that the cost of research and development approximated $5
million in each of the last three years.

EMPLOYEES. The Company has approximately 13,000 employees of whom
approximately 10,000 are engaged in production. Approximately 40% of the
Company's production employees are represented by labor unions.

The Company did not experience any material work stoppage related to the
negotiation of contracts with labor unions during 1993. Management is not aware
of any circumstance which is likely to result in a material work stoppage
related to the negotiations of any contracts expiring during 1994.

COMPETITION. The markets for components and other products the Company
produces are highly competitive in all aspects. There are numerous companies
offering products which compete with those products offered by the Company. The
Company believes it is the largest supplier in the United States of a diverse
range of furniture and bedding components to the furnishings industry.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION. The Company's various operations are subject to
federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to the protection of the
environment, worker safety, and other matters. Environmental regulations include
those relating to air and water emissions, underground storage tanks, waste
handling, and the like. While the Company cannot forecast policies that may be
adopted by various regulatory agencies, management believes that compliance with
these various laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on
the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
From time to time, the Company is involved in proceedings, or takes remedial or
other actions, relating to environmental matters. In one instance, the United
States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has directed one of the Company's
subsidiaries to investigate potential releases into the environment and, if
necessary, to perform corrective action. The subsidiary appealed the EPA's
action. On February 4, 1994, the EPA Environmental Appeals Board

4

remanded the matter to the EPA for further proceedings. One-half of any costs
associated with any such investigation or corrective action would be reimbursed
to the Company under a contractual obligation of a former joint owner of the
subsidiary. The outcome of this matter cannot be reasonably predicted.
Accordingly, no provision for the cost of performing any required investigation
and corrective action has been recorded on the books of the Company. Management
believes the cost to perform any investigation and corrective action, if
eventually required, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company owns or leases approximately 150 facilities throughout the
United States and Canada. Its corporate headquarters is located in Carthage,
Missouri. The Company's most important physical properties are its owned or
leased manufacturing plants. Such plants include five wire drawing mills in
Missouri, Florida, Kentucky, Indiana and Massachusetts; welded steel tubing
mills in Mississippi and Tennessee; and an aluminum smelting plant in Alabama.
All of these mills manufacture some products which are either transferred to and
used by the Company's other manufacturing plants, or are sold to others. Other
major manufacturing plants are located in Alabama, Arkansas, California,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi,
Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, and
Canada. In addition, the Company owns or leases a large number of other
facilities located in approximately 30 states utilized mainly for assembly,
warehousing and distribution of Company products.

Most of the Company's major manufacturing plants are owned by the Company or
are held under operating leases. Leases expire at various dates through 2010.
For additional information regarding lease obligations, reference is made to
Note E of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company's machinery, equipment and buildings are maintained in good
condition and are suitable for its current operations.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is a defendant in numerous ordinary, routine workers'
compensation, product liability, vehicle accident, employment termination, and
other claims and legal proceedings, the resolution of which Management believes
will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition
or results of operations of the Company.

The Company is presently party to a small number of proceedings in which a
governmental authority is a party and which involve provisions enacted
regulating the discharge of materials into the environment. These proceedings
deal primarily with waste disposal site remediation. Management believes that
potential monetary sanctions, if imposed in any or all of these proceedings, or
any capital expenditures or operating expenses attributable to these
proceedings, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The EPA has alleged
that two of the Company's facilities in Grafton, Wisconsin violated wastewater
pretreatment requirements under the Clean Water Act. No action is pending. The
EPA has not requested any specific relief, but has indicated it intends to bring
an action. Management believes the cost to resolve this matter will not have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of
operations of the Company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's previously issued financial statements have been restated to
reflect pooling of interests acquisitions. Therefore, the following discussion
and analysis reflects the Company's capital resources and liquidity and results
of operations as restated for these acquisitions.

6

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's financial position reflects several important principles and
guidelines of management's capital policy. These include management's belief
that corporate liquidity must always be adequate to support the Company's
projected internal growth rate. At the same time, liquidity must assure
management that the Company will be able to withstand any amount of financial
adversity that can reasonably be anticipated. Management also intends to direct
capital to strategic acquisitions and other investments that provide additional
opportunities for expansion and enhanced profitability.

Financial planning to meet these needs reflects management's belief that the
Company should never be forced to expand its capital resources, whether debt or
equity, at a time not of its choosing. Management also believes that financial
flexibility is more important than maximization of earnings through excessive
leverage.

The Company's primary source of capital to meet these objectives is from
internally generated funds. Operating activities provided $349.1 million in cash
during the last three years. An additional $3.5 million in cash was generated
from the issuance of the Company's common stock. Cash dividends paid on the
stock were $57.2 million and repurchases of stock for the Company's treasury
totaled $3.2 million during the three year period.

Management continuously provides for available credit in excess of the
Company's worst-case projections. Policy guidelines provide that long-term debt,
composed of two "layers", will normally be maintained in a range of 30% to 40%
of total capitalization. Obligations having scheduled maturities are the base
"layer" of debt capital. At the end of 1993, these obligations totaled $122.3
million, consisting primarily of privately placed institutional loans and
tax-exempt industrial development bonds. At the end of 1992, debt with scheduled
maturities totaled $112.5 million, which was down from $135.4 million a year
earlier.

Near the end of the third quarter of 1993, the Company issued $50 million in
unsecured privately placed debt under a medium-term note program. These notes
were issued with average lives of approximately nine years and fixed interest
rates averaging 5.8%. Debt of a company acquired in a September pooling of
interests transaction was repaid with the majority of the proceeds from these
notes. In 1992, the Company also issued approximately $26 million of medium-term
notes near the beginning of the fourth quarter. These notes were issued with
average lives of approximately five years and fixed interest rates averaging
6.15%. Proceeds from the notes issued in 1992 were used to repay debt
outstanding under the Company's revolving bank credit agreements.

Standard & Poor's and Moody's, the nations two leading debt rating agencies,
both increased their ratings of the Company's senior debt in July 1992. Standard
& Poor's increased its rating to A- from BBB+, and Moody's increased its rating
to A3 from Baa1. In March 1992, substantially all of the $40 million of 6 1/2%
convertible subordinated debentures, which had been outstanding at the end of
1991, were converted into 2.1 million shares of the Company's common stock. The
resulting increase in shareholders' equity enhanced the Company's flexibility in
capital management and increased yearly after-tax cash flow by approximately $.7
million.

The Company's second "layer" of debt capital consists of revolving credit
agreements with six banks. Over the years, management has renegotiated these
bank credit agreements to keep pace with the Company's projected growth and to
maintain a highly flexible source of debt capital. When utilized, the credit
under these agreements is a long-term obligation. At the same time, however, the
credit is available for short-term borrowings and repayments. In 1993, there was
$43.5 million in revolving debt outstanding at the end of the year, up from
$35.4 million in 1992. At the end of 1991, $97.3 million in revolving debt was
outstanding. The 1993 increase in revolving debt reflected a portion of funds
borrowed to finance cash acquisitions in the third quarter. In the fourth
quarter of 1993 and prior to recent acquisitions, revolving bank debt was
reduced with internally generated funds. Additional details of long-term debt
outstanding, including scheduled maturities and the revolving credit, are
discussed in Note D of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

7

Net capital investments to modernize and expand manufacturing capacity
internally totaled $109.0 million in the last three years. During this period,
acquisitions accounted for by the purchase method of accounting involved a net
cash investment of $93.3 million, plus an assumption of $5.7 million in
long-term debt of the acquired businesses. In addition, the Company issued 1.8
million shares of common stock in three acquisitions accounted for as poolings
of interests during this period.

The largest acquisitions were completed during the third quarter of 1993. On
September 1, the Company acquired Hanes Holding Company for 1.6 million shares
of common stock, in a pooling of interests, and purchased VWR Textiles &
Supplies, Inc. (through Hanes) for $26 million in cash. The Company also
purchased full ownership of several wire drawing mills, which previously had
been jointly owned. This transaction involved $33 million, plus the assumption
of $3.6 million in long-term debt. Additional details of acquisitions are
discussed in Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table shows, in millions, the Company's capitalization at the
end of the three most recent years. It also shows the amount of additional
capital available through the revolving bank credit agreements and the Company's
commercial paper program. The amount of cash and cash equivalents is also shown.



1993 1992 1991
--------- --------- ---------

Long-term debt outstanding:
Scheduled maturities.......................................... $ 122.3 $ 112.5 $ 135.4

The Company has the additional availability of short-term uncommitted credit
from several banks. However, there was no short-term debt outstanding at the end
of any of the last three years. The Company has substantial capital resources to
support additional capital investments at or above recent levels.

Working capital increased $32.5 million in the last three years. To gain
additional flexibility in capital management and to improve the rate of return
on shareholders' equity, the Company continuously seeks efficient use of working
capital. The following table shows the annual turnover on average year-end
working capital, trade receivables and inventories.

Future commitments under lease obligations are described in Note E and
contingent obligations in connection with environmental matters are discussed in
Note J of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The results of operations during the last three years reflect various
elements of the Company's long-term growth strategy, along with general trends
in the economy and the furnishings industry. The Company's growth strategy
continues to include both internal programs and acquisitions, which broaden
product lines and provide for increased market penetration and operating
efficiencies. With a continuing emphasis on the development of new and improved
products and advancements in production technology, the Company is able to
consistently offer high quality products, competitively priced.

8

Trends in the general economy were favorable during the last two years.
Economic growth increased in the fourth quarter of 1993, following more modest
growth during most of the year. Consumer confidence also improved near the end
of the year, and final demand for durable goods, including furniture and
bedding, generally remained stronger than the demand for non-durable goods.
Consumers reacted favorably to lower long-term interest rates and increased
availability of credit. In 1992, a post-election recovery in consumer confidence
quickly led to increased consumer spending and accelerated growth in the
economy. However, compared with previous first year recoveries from recessionary
lows, economic improvement was modest during most of 1992. During 1991, the
economy began to recover from recessionary lows early in the year, when the war
in the Middle East ended and consumer confidence temporarily improved. Consumer
confidence soon turned back down and the pace of overall business remained
depressed at the end of 1991.

Demand in the furnishings industry followed a pattern similar to the general
economy during the last three years. Annual growth in retail sales and
manufacturers' shipments of bedding and furniture was somewhat stronger in 1993
than in 1992. Increased consumer spending near the end of the last two years
helped offset some of the seasonal slowdown in demand for bedding, furniture and
other furnishings the industry normally experiences. In 1991, industry sales and
shipments reached recessionary lows in the first quarter, and recovered slowly
during the remainder of the year.

Management is anticipating further modest growth in the economy and the
markets the Company serves in 1994. Severe winter weather and the California
earthquake have impacted overall business activity at the beginning of the year,
in several parts of the country. However, these are temporary adversities.
Management is cautious in its outlook for business generally, primarily because
of concerns about higher income tax rates, proposals for governmental health
care programs, and inflationary trends.

Inflation in the United States generally remained modest during the last
three years. However, the Company experienced renewed inflation in prices for
raw materials, principally steel and wire, throughout 1993. Modest price
increases were implemented on some Company products during the second and third
quarters of 1993 to help offset earlier cost increases and the renewed inflation
in prices for raw materials. However, some of this inflation has not yet been
reflected in the Company's selling prices. Therefore, the Company is continuing
to experience cost/price pressures in affected product lines. In 1992, the
Company was able to refrain from raising prices, as previously weaker economic
conditions had reduced inflation for most raw materials. During 1991, the
Company implemented modest price increases on some products in the second
quarter. Prices for urethane foam products were raised more than others, in
response to the 1990 acceleration in prices for petrochemicals.

The Company's consolidated net sales in 1991 were modestly reduced after the
mid-year divestiture of certain urethane foam operations. At the same time, the
Company's profitability improved through the partial elimination of the
operating losses these operations experienced in 1990. The operating results of
the Company's restructured Fashion Bed Group, which manufactures sleep-related
finished furniture, also began to improve near the end of 1992. In 1993, the
Company's overall profitability reflected improved efficiencies in the remaining
foam operations. The Fashion Bed Group also attained improved efficiencies in
1993, but continues to perform below management's expectations.

The Company's consolidated net sales in 1993 increased 16% over the prior
year. Excluding acquisitions accounted for as purchases, sales increased 10%,
reflecting higher unit volumes and modestly higher prices on some products. In
1992, consolidated net sales increased 8% over 1991, due almost entirely to
higher unit volumes. Sales, excluding purchase acquisitions and divestitures,
also increased 8% in 1992.

The following table shows various measures of earnings as a percentage of
sales for the last three years. It also shows the effective income tax rate and
the coverage of interest expense by pre-tax earnings plus interest.



1993 1992 1991
----------- ----------- -----------

Gross profit margin............................................... 22.9% 22.8% 21.4%
Pre-tax profit margin............................................. 9.2 8.1 5.4
Net profit margin................................................. 5.6 5.0 3.3
Effective income tax rate......................................... 39.1 38.5 39.4
Interest coverage ratio........................................... 14.8x 8.9x 4.3x


The Company's profit margins, like sales, continued to improve since 1991.
In 1993, the gross profit margin was substantially unchanged from 1992.
Operating efficiencies resulting from increased sales and production, cost
cutting, and constant attention to cost containment were largely offset by
inflation in prices for some key raw materials. Reflecting this inflation, LIFO
expense reduced the gross profit margin by 0.2% in 1993. This experience was in
contrast to the previous two years, when LIFO income slightly increased gross
profit margins. The replacement cost of the LIFO inventory is discussed in Note
A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The 1993 pre-tax profit margin increased to 9.2% of sales. This improvement
primarily reflected a 0.7% reduction in selling, distribution and administrative
expenses, as a percentage of sales. Increased efficiencies and reduced bad debt
expense contributed to the improvement in operating expense ratios. These
factors and a slight increase in other income more than offset one time charges
related to recent acquisitions and the Company's implementation of new
accounting statements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The
new accounting statements are mentioned separately at the end of this
discussion, and in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest expense, as a percentage of sales, was reduced 0.4% in 1993 and
further improved the pre-tax profit margin. Reduced debt outstanding (before
recent acquisitions) and lower interest rates were reflected in this
improvement.

The effective income tax rate was 39.1% in 1993, up from 38.5% in 1992. In
the third quarter of 1993, corporate federal income tax rates were increased
from 34% to 35%, retroactive to January 1, 1993. Additional details of income
taxes for the last three years are discussed in Note H of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 1992, the gross profit margin increased to 22.8% of sales. This 1.4%
increase over 1991 primarily reflected an improvement in operating efficiencies
and earlier cost cutting at many locations.

The 1992 pre-tax profit margin increased to 8.1% of sales. In addition to
the improvement in the gross profit margin, the pre-tax margin benefitted from a
0.7% reduction in selling, distribution and administrative expenses, as a
percentage of sales. Improved operating efficiencies and reduced bad debt
expense were reflected in the lower 1992 operating expense ratios.

Interest expense, as a percentage of sales, was reduced 0.6% in 1992 and
further improved the pre-tax profit margin. Reduced debt outstanding and lower
interest rates both contributed to this improvement, which was partially offset
by an increase in other deductions, net of other income. The 1992 earnings
contribution from associated (50% owned) companies was down modestly from 1991.

STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED

The Company adopted three accounting statements in 1993 issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board. The new statements included Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions;" SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes;" and SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment

10

Benefits." The Company fully expensed any previously unrecorded liabilities
related to these accounting statements in 1993. The Company's financial
statements, contrary to those of many other companies, have not been impacted in
any significant way by the implementation of the new accounting rules. All new
accounting statements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that
could impact the Company were fully implemented by the end of 1993.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1992 AND 1991

A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Leggett & Platt, Incorporated and its majority-owned
subsidiaries (the Company). The Company's previously issued financial statements
have been restated to reflect pooling of interests acquisitions as discussed in
Note B. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated in consolidation.

CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents include cash in excess of daily
requirements which is invested in various financial instruments with maturities
of three months or less.

INVENTORIES: All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.
Cost includes materials, labor and production overhead. Cost is determined by
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for approximately 70% of the inventories at
December 31, 1993 and 1992. The first-in, first-out (FIFO) method is used for
the remainder. The FIFO cost of inventories at December 31, 1993 and 1992
approximated replacement cost.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION: Property, plant and equipment and other
intangibles are depreciated or amortized over their estimated lives, principally
by the straight-line method. Accelerated methods are used for tax purposes. The
excess cost of purchased companies over net assets acquired is amortized by the
straight-line method over forty years.

COMPUTATIONS OF EARNINGS PER SHARE: Earnings per share is based on the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding.
Common stock equivalents result from the assumed issuance of shares under stock
option plans.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK: The Company specializes in manufacturing,
marketing and distributing components and other related products for the
furnishings industry and diversified markets. The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers' financial conditions and, generally,
requires no collateral from its customers, some of which are highly leveraged.
The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses and such losses
generally have been within management's expectations.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The carrying value of the Company's
financial instruments approximates market value.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED: During 1993, the Company adopted three new
statements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. These statements
were: 1) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions;" 2) SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes;" and 3) SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits." The adoption of these statements did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior
years' consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1993 presentation.

B -- ACQUISITIONS
In September 1993, the Company issued 1,579,354 shares of common stock to
acquire Hanes Holding Company (Hanes) in a transaction accounted for as a
pooling of interests. Options to purchase an additional 45,743 shares of common
stock were also extended by the Company in substitution for previously existing
options. Hanes' business consists of converting and distributing woven and
nonwoven construction fabrics, primarily in the furnishings industry. In
addition, Hanes is a

B -- ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
commission dye/finisher of non-fashion fabrics for the furnishings and apparel
industries. In another pooling of interests transaction, the Company issued
68,788 shares of common stock to acquire a company whose business is
manufacturing furniture components for the furnishings industry. Previously
issued financial statements have been restated to reflect the poolings. Separate
results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 are
as follows:



1993 1992 1991
---------- ---------- ----------

Net sales:
Leggett & Platt................................................ $ 1,350.8 $ 1,170.5 $ 1,081.8

In September 1993, the Company acquired VWR Textiles & Supplies, Inc.
(through Hanes) which converts and distributes construction fabrics and
manufactures and distributes other soft goods components to the furnishings
industry. The purchase price of this acquisition was approximately $26.0. Also
in 1993, the Company acquired full ownership of several wire drawing mills which
previously had been jointly owned. This transaction involved $33.0 in cash and
the assumption of approximately $3.6 of long term debt. In addition, the Company
acquired several smaller companies during 1993 which primarily manufacture and
distribute products to the furnishings industry. The following unaudited pro
forma information shows the results of operations for the years ended December
31, 1993 and 1992 as though the 1993 acquisitions accounted for as purchases had
occurred on January 1 of each year presented. These pro forma amounts reflect
purchase accounting adjustments, interest on incremental borrowings and the tax
effects thereof. This pro forma financial information is not necessarily
indicative of either results of operations that would have occurred had the
purchases been made on January 1 of each year or of future results of the
combined companies.



1993 1992
---------- ----------

Net sales.................................................................... $ 1,620.5 $ 1,471.5
Net earnings................................................................. 88.6 69.6
Earnings per share........................................................... 2.15 1.75


During 1992, the Company acquired the assets of one small company that
primarily manufactures bedding and furniture components for the furnishings
industry. The purchase price of this acquisition was approximately $5.8.
Assuming this acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the year, it would
not have had a material impact on net sales, net earnings or earnings per share.

Also during 1992, the Company acquired a business accounted for as a pooling
of interests. The business primarily manufactures bedding and furniture
components for the furnishings industry. In exchange for all of the outstanding
capital stock of the business, the Company issued 100,903 shares of its common
stock. The Company elected not to restate prior year's financial statements as
the effect was immaterial.

During 1991, the Company acquired the assets of two small companies that
primarily manufacture bedding and furniture components for the furnishings
industry. The purchase price of these acquisitions was approximately $10.0.
Assuming these acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the year, they
would not have had a material impact on net sales, net earnings or earnings per
share.

B -- ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
The above acquisitions, except for the 1993 and 1992 poolings, have been
accounted for as purchases, and, where applicable, the excess of the total
acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired is being
amortized by the straight-line method over forty years. The results of
operations of these companies since the dates of acquisition have been included
in the consolidated financial statements.

The purchase prices as originally reported represent the initial amounts of
cash and common stock of the Company issued at the time of the acquisitions.
Some purchase agreements also contain provisions for additional payments if
certain minimum earnings requirements are met. All such provisions expired
during 1993. Amounts earned under the terms of the agreements are recorded as
increases in the excess of the total acquisition cost over the fair value of the
net assets acquired. Such additional payments were approximately $6.4 and $2.7
during 1993 and 1992, respectively.

D -- LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
The revolving credit agreements provide for a maximum line of credit of
$160.0. For any revolving credit agreement, the Company may elect to pay
interest based on 1) the bank's base lending rate, 2) LIBOR, 3) an adjusted
certificate of deposit rate, or 4) the money market rate, as specified in the
revolving agreements. Any outstanding balances at the end of the third year of
the revolving credit agreements may be converted into term loans payable in ten
equal semi-annual installments. Commitment fees during the revolving agreement
period are 3/16 of 1% per annum of the unused credit line, payable on a
quarterly basis.

The revolving credit agreements and certain other long-term debt contain
restrictive covenants which, among other restrictions, limit the amount of
additional debt, require working capital to be maintained at specified amounts
and restrict payments of dividends. Unrestricted retained earnings available for
dividends at December 31, 1993 were approximately $137.1.

Maturities of long-term debt for each of the five years following 1993 are:

E -- LEASE OBLIGATIONS
The Company conducts certain of its operations in leased premises and also
leases most of its automotive and trucking equipment and some other assets.
Terms of the leases, including purchase options, renewals and maintenance costs,
vary by lease. Total rental expense entering into the determination of results
of operations was approximately $17.4, $16.8 and $17.0 for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Future minimum rental
commitments for all long-term noncancelable operating leases are as follows:

above include renewal amounts where it is the intention of the Company to renew
the lease.

F -- CAPITAL STOCK
At December 31, 1993, the Company had 1,724,973 common shares authorized for
issuance under stock option plans. All options are granted at not less than
quoted market value on the date of grant and generally become exercisable in

The Company has also authorized shares for issuance in connection with
certain employee stock benefit plans discussed in Note G.

In 1989, the Company declared a dividend distribution of one preferred stock
purchase right (a Right) for each share of common stock. The Rights are attached
to and traded with the Company's common stock. The Rights may only become
exercisable under certain circumstances involving actual or potential
acquisitions of the Company's common stock. Depending upon the circumstances, if
the Rights become exercisable, the holder may be entitled to purchase shares of
Series A junior preferred stock of the Company, shares of the Company's common
stock or shares of common stock of the acquiring entity. The Rights remain in
existence until February 15, 1999, unless they are exercised, exchanged or
redeemed at an earlier date.

On May 12, 1993 the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the
Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation increasing authorized Common Stock
to 300,000,000 shares from 100,000,000 shares and reducing the par value of
Common Stock to $.01 from $1.00. The amendment provided that the stated capital
of the Company would not be affected as of the date of the amendment.
Accordingly, stated capital of the Company exceeds the amount reported as common
stock in the financial statements by approximately $39.0.

G -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors contributory and non-contributory pension and
retirement plans. Substantially all employees, other than union employees
covered by multiemployer plans under collective bargaining agreements, are
eligible to participate in the plans. Retirement benefits under the contributory
plans are based on career average earnings. Retirement benefits under the
non-contributory plans are based on years of service, employees' average
compensation and social security benefits. It is the Company's policy to fund
actuarially determined costs as accrued.

Plan assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of equity, debt and
government securities, including 294,000 shares of the Company's common stock at
December 31, 1993.

Contributions to union sponsored, multiemployer pension plans were $.2, $.2
and $.4 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. These plans are not administered
by the Company and contributions are determined in accordance with provisions of
negotiated labor contracts. As of 1993, the actuarially computed values of
vested benefits for these plans were equal to or less than the net assets of the
plans. Therefore, the Company would have no withdrawal liability. However, the
Company has no present intention of withdrawing from any of these plans, nor has
the Company been informed that there is any intention to terminate such plans.

Net pension income (expense), including Company sponsored defined benefit
plans, multiemployer plans and other plans, was $.7, $.8 and $(.4) in 1993, 1992
and 1991, respectively.

The Company also has a contributory stock purchase/stock bonus plan (SPSB
Plan), a non-qualified executive stock purchase program (ESPP) and an employees'
discount stock plan (DSP). The SPSB Plan provides Company pre-tax contributions
of 50% of the amount of employee contributions. The ESPP provides cash payments
of 50% of the employees' contributions, along with an additional payment to
assist employees in paying taxes on the cash payments. These contributions to
the ESPP are invested in the Company's common stock through the DSP. In
addition, the Company matches its

25

LEGGETT & PLATT, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

G -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED)
contributions when certain profitability levels, as defined in the SPSB Plan and
the ESPP, have been attained. The Company's total contributions to the SPSB Plan
and the ESPP were $2.5, $2.2 and $2.0 for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

Under the DSP, eligible employees may purchase a maximum of 4,000,000 shares
of Company common stock. The purchase price per share is 85% of the closing
market price on the last business day of each month. Shares purchased under the
DSP were 181,306, 237,713 and 267,212 during 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Purchase prices ranged from $12 to $43 per share. Since inception of the DSP in
1982, a total of 2,120,413 shares have been purchased by employees.

I -- INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's operations principally consist of the manufacturing of
components and related finished products for the furnishings industry. In
addition, the Company supplies a diversified group of industries with products
which are similar in manufacturing technology to its furnishings operations.
Other than furnishings, no industry segment is significant.

The Company's products are sold primarily through its own sales personnel to
customers in all states of the United States. Foreign sales are a minor portion
of the Company's business. No single customer accounts for as much as 10% of
sales.

Operating profit is determined by deducting from net sales the cost of goods
sold and the selling, distribution, administrative and other expenses
attributable to the segment operations. Corporate expenses not allocated to the
segments include corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense
and certain other income and deduction items which are incidental to the
Company's operations. Capital expenditures, as defined herein, include amounts
relating to acquisitions as well as internal expenditures. The identifiable
assets of industry segments are those used in the Company's

J -- CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company is involved in proceedings related to
environmental matters. In one instance, the United States Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") has directed one of the Company's subsidiaries to
investigate potential releases into the environment and, if necessary, to
perform corrective action. The subsidiary appealed the EPA's action and the
outcome cannot be reasonably predicted. Costs to perform the actions directed by
the EPA, if the outcome is unfavorable, cannot be reasonably estimated. One-half
of any such costs would be reimbursed to the Company under a contractual
obligation of a former joint owner of the subsidiary. No provision for costs of
performing investigation and corrective action, if ultimately required, have
been recorded in the Company's financial statements. If any such investigation
and corrective action is required, management believes the possibility of
incurring unreimbursed costs, with a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial condition or results of operations, is remote.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Leggett & Platt, Incorporated:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, changes in shareholders' equity and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Leggett & Platt, Incorporated and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and
1992, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
