3.       Discontinued Operation

On August 20,  1996,  the  Company  announced  its  decision to sell the Roll-it
division of Knape & Vogt Canada Inc.  (Roll-it),  the  Company's  store  fixture
operation.  It is the Company's  intent to sell the Roll-it  division within the
next  fiscal  year  through an  independent  broker.  Roll-it is  reported  as a
discontinued  operation,  and the  consolidated  financial  statements have been
reclassified to segregate the net assets and operating results of the business.

The  estimated  loss on the sale of Roll-it is $3.9  million,  which  includes a
reduction  in asset  values of $3.6  million  and a  provision  for  anticipated
closing costs and operating  losses until  disposal of $.3 million.  The loss is
reported net of an income tax benefit of $1.2 million,  for an after-tax loss of
$2.7 million.  The amounts are based on estimates of the proceeds expected to be
realized  on the sale of the store  fixture  operation.  The amounts the Company
will  ultimately  realize  could  differ  materially  in the near  term from the
amounts  assumed  in  arriving  at the  loss  on  disposal  of the  discontinued
operation.   Summary  operating  results  of  the  discontinued   operation  (in
thousands) are as follows:

======================================================================================

Net assets of the discontinued operation at June 30, 1996, of approximately $3.6
million consisted of $1.8 million of current assets, deductions for an allowance
for  the  estimated  loss  on  disposal,   estimated  operating  losses  to  the
anticipated disposal date, current liabilities and $1.8 million of equipment.
