of Section 27A of the Securities Act of and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Those statements appear in a number of
places in this Report and may include statements regarding the intent,

future events. There can be no assurance that the forward looking
statements contained in this Report will prove to be accurate. The
inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be regarded as a
representation by the Company that the Company's objectives will be
achieved.

Item 1. Business

General Development of Business

The Company history dates back to 1866 when the "Keller Store" in Corydon,
Indiana was established. From that time, the operation entered into various
businesses, including running an electrical light plant, manufacturing spokes
for farm wagons, operation in a hub-mill, farm wagon production, building barns,
producing wooden porch furniture, wooden truck bodies and refrigerator boxes, as
well as making end tables, magazine racks, chair parts - and by 1933, a drop
leaf table. The Company was incorporated in 1906 under the laws of the State of
Indiana.

Over 300,000 wagons were built from 1901-1912. In 1942, however, the invention
of the farm tractor made the Keller wagon obsolete thereby causing the Company
to end its wagon production. In late 1943, the Company developed household
furniture, including breakfast room suites and dinettes. In the early 1960's,
The Company introduced its first bedroom group. A new plant was built at
Culpeper, Virginia in 1965 and a third plant was built in 1973 at New Salisbury,
Indiana. In 1979, the Company leased four trucks and trailers to deliver
furniture directly to their furniture dealers. In 1996, the Company formed
Keller Dedicated Trucking, Inc. ("Keller Trucking"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company. Its primary function is to provide delivery services for the
Company. Keller Trucking also transfers materials between plants, provides
delivery for some purchased merchandise and provides backhaul services for other
companies when available. Keller Trucking currently operates with 22 trucks
delivering approximately 80% of the Company's finished products

Narrative Description of Business

The Company designs and manufactures various styles of solid wood dining room,
bedroom, and occasional furniture. The Company manufactures nine different
product lines: eight made of oak, and one line made of cherry. The dining room
furniture consists of tables, chairs, chinas and servers. The bedroom products
consist of beds, dressers, chests, nightstands and mirrors. The primary items
manufactured for occasional are cocktail, end, sofa tables, and small
entertainment units. Some units from bedroom furniture are also used as
entertainment units.

Certain production facilities manufacture specific product lines in response to
customer orders. Lumber is kiln dried at each facility.

In October 2001, The Company introduced its American Restoration collection at
the High Point Market. Arts and Crafts style inspired the collection. The
elements present in the group include exposed dovetail joints, walnut plug
joinery, trellis grill work, exclusively designed hardware and straw glass which
give it an authentic look but today's modern consumer appeal. American
Restoration Dining began shipping in November 2001, and the balance of the
collection began shipping during the first quarter 2002.

Another collection, Transitions, introduced in October 2000 began shipping in
March 2001. The collection generated approximately $6.9 million in orders in
2001. The PGA Tour Home Collection was discontinued in 2001.

The Company's products are sold primarily in the middle to upper price range.
The 2001 breakdown of sales per category represents a planned shift of emphasis
to the Company becoming a complete resource for retailers in Dining, Bedroom,
and Occasional. Net sales of Bedroom accounted for approximately 49.6% of total
volume in 2001, compared to approximately 49.8% in 2000. Dining sales were
approximately 44.4% of total volume in 2001, compared to approximately 48% in
2000, and Occasional approximately 6% of total volume in 2001, an increase of
approximately 4.8% over 2000's approximate 1.2% total. The retail price range of
Keller products in Bedroom are $1,999 - $4,999, Dining $1,499 - $4,999, and
Occasional $899 - $1,999.

The Company sells its products nationwide through a sales force, with
approximately 85% of the sales force being company employees and approximately
15% independent representatives. The Company sells to approximately 1,500
national, regional and local furniture chains, independent furniture retailers
and warehouse showrooms. The Company shows and promotes its product at the
International Home Furnishings Center in High Point, North Carolina where it
leases a 7,000 sq. ft. showroom. The Company uses a pre-established fund to
advertise and promote the Company's products. The fund for 2001 contributed
approximately $1.3 million in additional advertising, including TV commercials
and CD ROMs made available to retailers.

Raw Materials

The Company purchases lumber from approximately 50 suppliers with no single
supplier representing over 10% of purchases. There has been no difficulty
experienced in obtaining lumber. There are three primary grades of hardwood: #1,
#2 and #3. #1 is the highest quality with the least defects while #3 has the
greatest number of defects. The Company purchases #2 grade lumber, cuts out any
defects and uses this refined #2 in its manufacturing process. This practice
allows the Company to manufacture furniture of comparable quality to furniture
made from #1 grade lumber but on a more cost efficient basis. The cost of lumber
declined during 2001 from an average cost of $506 per 1,000 feet in 2000 to $424
per 1,000 feet in 2001. The purchase of lumber during the year depends on the
Company's orders received from our customers.


Patents, Trademarks, Licenses or Franchises

The Company currently holds no patents or franchises. The Company Logo was
changed in 2000 to "KELLER FURNITURE", replacing the old Company Logo after
approximately forty years. The new Logo is not considered to provide any
financial benefit to the Company. The Logo was changed for trade and consumer
purposes only.

Seasonal Effects

In previous years the Company has experienced some seasonal effects on sales.
The slowest period for sales has traditionally been the second quarter. However,
in 2000 and 1999 the slowest period for sales was the fourth quarter. And while
the third quarter has traditionally been the strongest quarter for sales, in
2000 and 1999 the first quarter was the strongest. This was due in part to the
orders taken on new introductions in 3rd and 4th quarters and shipped in the
first quarter of 2000 and 1999. The economy and consumer confidence had a large
effect on 2001. Orders were down all four quarters with an overall decline of
approximately 9.0% compared to orders written in 2000.

Working Capital

The furniture manufacturing industry has no standard guideline for carrying
working capital and the Company does not require its retailers to maintain
minimum working capital. The Company meets dealer demand by scheduling cut
packages based on current and estimated sales mixes with high volume dealers
receiving priority on quick shipment of merchandise.

The Company offers extended payment terms to customers for damaged items that
are repairable. Each retailer is provided a list of items that are deemed
replaceable and will be given an allowance for shop time to repair. Usually, any
defect to merchandise that would require larger than a 25% discount will be
returned to the Company. Since the Company has its own trucking subsidiary, it
is better equipped than the industry in general to receive returned merchandise
on a cost-effective basis. Due to the high shipping costs by outside sources,
most of the industry offers discounts for dealers to keep defective merchandise.

Customers

The Company's twenty largest customers accounted for approximately 47.5% of its
net sales in 2001. The Company's largest customer, Haverty's, accounted for
approximately 15% of the Company's net sales in 2001. The loss of Haverty's
Furniture or another large customer could have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

Backlog

Backlog orders believed to be firm as of December 31, 2001 were approximately
$1.8 million. Currently, all orders placed with the Company will be filled and
shipped as ordered within four weeks. The Company does, however, allow
modification or cancellations of orders up to the time the product is loaded for
shipment. A cancellation at such a late stage is subject to a monetary penalty
and occurs only infrequently.

Competition

As the Company continues to expand its product line, it becomes more difficult
to identify a specific competitive market. The Company currently manufactures
and competes in lines of bedroom, dining room and occasional furniture, and
sells to retailers nationwide. The Company's products fall in the middle to
upper-middle price line. The Company's direct competitors include Kincaid
Furniture Co. ("Kincaid"), Cochrane Furniture ("Cochrane"), Sumter Cabinet co.
("Sumter"), Mobel, Inc. ("Mobel"), Durham Furniture, Inc. ("Durham"), Richardson
Brothers Co. ("Richardson Brothers") and Kimball Furniture ("Kimball"). Kincaid
is considered the Company's most direct competitor, and its dining, bedroom and
occasional groups are the strongest competing products against the Company's
product lines. Cochrane and Sumter are the next most competitive companies. They
both compete in the dining and bedroom categories. Cochrane is strongest in
dining room lines and Sumter is strongest in the bedroom lines. Both Mobel and
Durham compete directly with the Company in bedroom lines. Richardson Brothers
and Kimball both offer lines in dining room and bedroom categories but don't
offer the number of products within these groups as the aforementioned direct
competitors.

There is a significant amount of furniture being imported from China. According
to a Furniture/Today article, dated February 4, 2002, Volume 25, Number 22,
Mann, Armistead & Epperson Industry Analysts estimated

42% of the wood products sold in the United States in 2001 were imports. The
predominant make-up of the product imported were veneers and in styles with an
ornate look. The Company currently imports 6% of its line, with the bulk of such
imports being wrought iron from Mexico.

To combat imports in 2001, Keller concentrated its efforts on educating the
retail floor salespeople on Keller product. The three main areas that
differentiate Keller are:

1. Solid Wood
2. Made In America
3. Quality Construction

The Company has several attributes, which it believes, when combined, afford it
a competitive advantage. The Company specializes in dining room and bedroom
furniture made of solid wood. Solid wood furniture is considered higher quality
than furniture made from composite materials. This is a valuable marketing tool
in selling to consumers. Moreover, the Company applies a protective finish to
its products, which is more durable than that of most of its competitors. The
Company's products are priced competitively for high quality furniture and the
range of retail prices available for various product lines makes its products
available to a wide range of customers.

The Company also believes it is positioned to effectively compete based on
customer service. The Company's product line may currently be made available for
delivery to a customer in four weeks. Products are cut based on demand, which
also improves the average delivery time. Moreover, the Company manufactures most
of its own parts and dries all of its own lumber. All bending for chairs,
headrests and bows are also processed internally. Finally, Keller Trucking
delivers 80% of the Company's merchandise which is shipped. This allows the
furniture to be delivered faster and at a lower cost than using outside
resources. These factors allow the Company to produce quality furniture at
competitive prices.

Environmental Matters

Pursuant to an Agreed Order with the Indiana Department of Environmental
Management, the Company has procedural and record keeping improvements have been
put in place to prevent air quality violations. Conditions of the Agreed Order
consisted of completion of a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP). The SEP
consists of installing filters on all existing spray booths at the Corydon Plant
to more efficiently capture over spray from the spray finishing operation. The
SEP must be completed by May 23, 2002. Environment projects completed in 2001
include construction of a finish material storage structure at the Culpeper
plant and installation of improved monitoring equipment on the New Salisbury
sewage treatment plant.

Employees

The Company employed 530 individuals as of December 31, 2001, consisting of 432
hourly employees, 69 salaried employees, 21 salesmen and 8 executive officers.
None of the employees belong to a labor union. The Company believes its
relations with its employees are good.
