NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2002
(Unaudited)

1. The accounting policies used in preparing these statements are the same as
those used in preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements for
the fiscal year ended December 29, 2001. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual
report to stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2001.

The foregoing financial information reflects all adjustments which are, in

for a fair presentation. The interim results are not necessarily indicative
of the results which may be expected for a full year.

2. Earnings per share

The number of stock options excluded from the computation of diluted
earning per share due to their antidilutive effect were approximately
205,000 for both the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2002 and
approximately 91,000 and 91,880 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended
June 30, 2001, respectively.

(*) The Company's North American furniture segments, Bush Business
Furniture and Bush Furniture, share certain productive assets.
These productive assets manufacture components for both Bush
Business Furniture and Bush Furniture products. As a result,
identifiable assets are not allocated between Bush Business
Furniture and Bush Furniture.

6. Goodwill

Effective December 30, 2001 (the first day of fiscal 2002), the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"). Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is
no longer amortized, but reviewed for impairment annually, or more
frequently if certain indicators arise. A requirement of SFAS No. 142 is to
complete the initial step of a transitional goodwill impairment test within
six months of adoption of SFAS No. 142 and to complete the final step of
the transitional impairment test by the end of the fiscal year. Any
goodwill impairment loss resulting from the transitional impairment test
will be recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
no later than the end of fiscal year 2002. Subsequent impairment losses
will be reflected in operating income or loss in the consolidated
statements of operations.

The Company has completed the initial step of the transitional evaluation
to determine whether there has been an indication of goodwill impairment.
As a result of this transitional evaluation, the Company may record a
non-cash charge for goodwill impairment of up to approximately $2.4 million
in the second half of fiscal year 2002 as a cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle. The potential impairment is related to the Bush
Furniture Europe segment.

Goodwill and other intangible assets subject to SFAS No. 142 were
approximately $15 million as of June 29, 2002. For the thirteen and
twenty-six week periods ended June 29, 2002 there was no goodwill
amortization expense and there were no changes in the carrying amount of
goodwill.

Actual results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended
June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001 and as adjusted results of operations for
the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2001 had the
non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 been applied in those periods
are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks
and uncertainties, which may cause the Company's actual results in future
periods to differ materially from forecasted results. Forward-looking statements
include statements regarding the intent, belief, projected or current
expectations of the Company or its Officers (including statements preceded by,
followed by or including forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will,"
"should," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue" or similar
expressions or comparable terminology), with respect to various matters. The
Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental and
technological factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products,
services and prices, and other factors discussed in the Company's filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Second quarter sales for the 13 week period ended June 29, 2002 were
$78,929,000 and first half sales for the 26 week period ended June 29, 2002 were
$167,261,000. This represents a increase of $3,315,000, or approximately 4.4%,
compared to net sales of $75,614,000 for the 13 week period ended June 30, 2001,
and a first half decrease of $12,981,000, or approximately 7.2%, compared to net
sales of $180,242,000 for the 26 week period ended June 30, 2001. The sales
increase for the 13 period ended June 29, 2002 primarily reflects an increase in
Bush Business Furniture sales, partially offset by decreases in the Company's
other segments. The sales decrease for the 26 week period ended June 29, 2002
primarily reflects an increase in Bush Business Furniture sales being more than
offset by decreases in the Company's other segments. The sales decreases
primarily reflects the continuing difficult economic conditions in the markets
served by the Company's products in both North America and Europe.

Cost of sales increased $3,324,000 for the 13 week period ended June 29,
2002, compared to the 13 week period ended June 30, 2001. Cost of sales as an
approximate percentage of net sales increased by 1.2 percentage points from
70.3% in the second quarter of 2001 to 71.5% in the second quarter of 2002. Cost
of sales decreased by $5,858,000 for the 26 week period ended June 29, 2002,
compared to the 26 week period ended June 30, 2001. Cost of sales as an
approximate percentage of net sales increased by 1.9 percentage points from
69.9% in the first half of 2001 to 71.8% in the first half of 2002. The increase
in cost of sales for the 13 week period ended June 29, 2002 and the decrease in
cost of sales for the 26 week period ended June 29, 2002 primarily reflects the
change in sales volumes as compared to the prior year. The increase in cost of
sales as a percentage of net sales for both the 13 and 26 week periods ended
June 29, 2002 primarily reflects a change in the mix of sales as compared to the
prior year and

11



the lower absorption of manufacturing overhead as a result of decreased
production volumes.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,945,000 for the
13 week period ended June 29, 2002, compared to the 13 week period ended June
30, 2001. For the 26 week period ended June 29, 2002, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $554,000, as compared to the 26 week period
ended June 30, 2001. The increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses was primarily the result of an increase in various marketing expenses
and promotional incentives. Selling, general and administrative expenses as an
approximate percentage of net sales increased by 1.4 percentage points from
23.5% in the second quarter of 2001 to 24.9% in the second quarter of 2002 and
increased by 2.1 percentage points from 22.3% in the first half of 2001 to 24.4%
in the first half of 2002.

Interest expense for the 13 week period ended June 29, 2002 decreased to
$1,861,000 (or approximately 2.4% of net sales) from $2,310,000 (or
approximately 3.1% of net sales) for the 13 week period ended June 30, 2001.
Interest expense for the 26 week period ended June 29, 2002 decreased to
$3,586,000 (or approximately 2.1% of net sales) from $4,935,000 (or
approximately 2.7% of net sales). The decrease in interest expense was primarily
due to a reduction in the Company's long-term debt.

The consolidated effective income tax rates for the 13 and 26 week periods
ended June 29, 2002 were 41.9% and 41.0%, respectively. The tax rates for the
same periods in 2001 were 41.7% and 41.4%, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Working capital at June 29, 2002 decreased by $2,285,000, as compared to
working capital at year-end 2001. Such decreased working capital was due, in
part, to a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts
receivable and an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a increase
in inventories and a decrease in other accrued liabilities. The decrease in
prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily reflects an overpayment of
income taxes in fiscal year 2001 that was refunded in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2002. The decrease in accounts receivable and the increase in
accounts payable reflect actions taken to reduce working capital requirements.
Total assets at June 29, 2002 decreased by $7,357,000 over year-end 2001
primarily due to decreases in prepaid expenses and other current assets,
property, plant and equipment and accounts receivable partially offset by an
increase in inventories, other assets and cash. The decrease in property, plant
and equipment primarily reflects capital expenditures that are less than the
level of depreciation. In addition, total liabilities decreased by $8,379,000 at
June 29, 2002, as compared to year-end 2001, due mostly to a decrease in
long-term debt and other accrued liabilities, partially offset by an increase in
accounts payable, deferred income taxes and income taxes.

The Company spent $3,112,000 on capital expenditures during the first half
of 2002, which were financed primarily with cash flows from operating
activities. Capital expenditures for

12



fiscal year 2002 are currently forecasted to be approximately $7 million.

The Company has a revolving credit facility, initially dated as of June 26,
1997 and as amended, with JPMorgan Chase Bank and other lending institutions. In
fiscal year 2001 the Company entered into a sixth amendment, dated as of
December 28, 2001. This amendment modified certain covenants of the Company
under the credit facility, modified the pricing grid to reflect the newly
permitted ratios, granted a security interest in all domestic tangible personal
property and intangible assets of the Company, extended the maturity date of the
loan from June 30, 2003 to June 30, 2004 and modified the amount of money the
Company can borrow under the credit facility from an aggregate $210,000,000 to
an aggregate $173,000,000.

The credit facility provides for revolving credit loans, swing line loans
and multi-currency loans, within the parameters described below. The loan is due
June 30, 2004 with a balloon payment of the then remaining principal and any
accrued interest. The Company has classified all of the line of credit as
long-term, as there are no required principal payments due until June 30, 2004.
At the Company's option, borrowings may be effectuated, subject to certain
conditions, on a NYBOR rate, an eurocurrency rate for dollars, an applicable
eurocurrency rate for certain foreign currencies, a money market rate, or an
alternative base rate. Eurocurrency loans bear interest at the then current
applicable LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin, which
pertains only to LIBOR and NYBOR rate loans, varies from 1.5% to 3.5%, depending
upon the Company's ability to satisfy certain quarterly financial tests. In
addition, the credit agreement permits the Company to request the issuance of up
to a maximum of $20,000,000 in letters of credit, which issuance will be deemed
part of the $173,000,000 maximum amount of borrowing permitted under the credit
facility.

The line of credit agreement, as amended, provides for achieving certain
consolidated cash flow coverage and leverage ratios, prescribes minimum
consolidated net worth requirements, limits capital expenditures and new leases
and provides for certain other affirmative and restrictive covenants. The
Company is in compliance with all of these requirements. In addition, the credit
agreement limits the amount of cash dividends that the Company can declare, and
also imposes certain conditions with respect thereto.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations"
(SFAS No. 141), and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142). The FASB also issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Obligations
Associated with the Retirement of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS No. 143), and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS No. 144), in August and
October 2001, respectively.

13



SFAS No. 141 requires the purchase method of accounting for business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the
pooling-of-interest method. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 had no material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Effective December 30, 2001 (the first day of fiscal 2002), the Company
adopted SFAS No. 142. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortized, but
reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if certain indicators
arise. A requirement of SFAS No. 142 is to complete the initial step of a
transitional goodwill impairment test within six months of adoption of SFAS No.
142 and to complete the final step of the transitional impairment test by the
end of the fiscal year. Any goodwill impairment loss resulting from the
transitional impairment test will be recorded as a cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle no later than the end of fiscal year 2002. Subsequent
impairment losses will be reflected in operating income or loss in the
consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has completed the first step of the transitional evaluation to
determine whether there has been an indication of goodwill impairment. As a
result of this transitional evaluation, the Company may record a non-cash charge
for goodwill impairment of up to approximately $2.4 million in the second half
of fiscal year 2002 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
The potential impairment is related to the Bush Furniture Europe segment.

Additionally, as a result of the adoption of SFAS 142, a substantial amount
of the Company's intangible assets will no longer be amortized. Goodwill and
other intangible assets subject to SFAS No. 142 were approximately $15 million
as of December 29, 2001 and the associated pre-tax amortization was
approximately $1.4 million in fiscal year 2001.

SFAS No. 143 establishes accounting standards for the recognition and
measurement of an asset retirement obligation and its associated asset
retirement cost. It also provides accounting guidance for legal obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 is
effective in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with early adoption
permitted. The Company expects that the provisions of SFAS No. 143 will not have
a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial
position upon adoption. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 143 effective
December 29, 2002 (the first day of fiscal 2003).

SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144
superseded Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of"
(SFAS No. 121), and APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". The provisions of
SFAS No. 144 are effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001,
with early adoption permitted, and in general are to be applied prospectively.
Effective December 30, 2001 (the first day of fiscal 2002), the Company adopted
SFAS No. 144. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 had no material impact on Company's
consolidated financial statements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. The
Company is exposed to market risk in the areas of interest rates and foreign
currency exchange rates.

The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to the Company's revolving credit facility due to its variable LIBOR
pricing. Based on the outstanding balance of long-term debt at the end of the
second quarter of fiscal year 2002, a one percentage point change in interest
rates would result in annual interest expense fluctuating approximately $1.1
million.

The Company's exposure to foreign currency exchange risk relates primarily
to the cost of imported supplies and the cost/profitability of exported items,
the income statement and cash flow impact of converting foreign currency
denominated profit/loss into U.S. dollars and the balance sheet impact of
converting foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities into U.S.
dollars.
