Business -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Chromcraft Revington, Inc. ("Chromcraft Revington"), incorporated in 1992 under the laws of Delaware, is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of residential and commercial furniture through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chromcraft Corporation ("Chromcraft"), Peters-Revington Corporation ("Peters-Revington"), Silver Furniture Co., Inc. ("Silver Furniture"), Cochrane Furniture Company, Inc. ("Cochrane Furniture") and Korn Industries, Incorporated ("Korn Industries"). Chromcraft Revington is headquartered in Delphi, Indiana. In 1992, Chromcraft Revington acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington from Consolidated Furniture Corporation (formerly Mohasco Corporation) pursuant to merger agreements. Concurrently, Chromcraft Revington completed its initial public offering and restructured its long-term debt. Chromcraft Revington had no operations prior to 1992. Chromcraft, located in Senatobia, Mississippi, manufactures casual dining and commercial furniture. Peters-Revington, located in Delphi, Indiana, manufactures occasional and bedroom furniture. Chromcraft and Peters-Revington were both founded in 1946. In April 1995, Chromcraft Revington acquired Silver Furniture, a distributor of imported occasional furniture.

The ESOP Trust purchased 2,000,000 of the shares from Court Square for $20,000,000, using funds borrowed from Chromcraft Revington, with the remainder of the shares purchased by Chromcraft Revington. The transaction was financed with available cash and bank borrowings. At December 31, 2003, the ESOP Trust held approximately 33.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Chromcraft Revington's common stock. Chromcraft Revington and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") have several operating segments which are aggregated into one reportable segment, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. No material amount of Chromcraft Revington's sales is dependent upon a single customer. Sales outside of the United States represent less than 1% of total sales. Products and Distribution Occasional Furniture Medium-priced occasional furniture, including tables, bookcases, entertainment centers, library and modular wall units and curio cabinets in traditional, contemporary and country styles, are manufactured and sold under the Peters-Revington brand name. Occasional furniture is manufactured primarily from American hardwoods, such as oak, cherry, ash and maple. Many Peters-Revington table collections include twelve or more pieces in matching styles. In addition, different pieces of occasional furniture incorporate the same design and styling themes, thereby enabling consumers to coordinate furniture for the same room.

These products are generally designed with a contemporary appeal and unique styling. Silver Furniture tables are constructed using a variety of materials, including wood, medium-density fiberboard, glass and 2 metal. Silver's occasional furniture is sourced mainly from factories located in the Pacific Rim. Imported furniture is purchased in U.S. dollars and, as a result, Chromcraft Revington is not subject to foreign exchange risk. Silver Furniture occasional furniture is sold primarily in the United States and Canada through company sales personnel to national and regional furniture retailers and through independent sales representatives to independent furniture retailers. Bedroom Furniture Solid wood bedroom furniture, primarily in oak, cherry, ash or maple, is manufactured and sold at medium price points under the Cochrane Furniture brand name and at mid-to-higher price points under the Sumter Cabinet brand name. Peters-Revington bedroom furniture is constructed of hardwoods, solids and veneers and is sold at medium price points. Bedroom furniture includes beds, dressers, night stands, entertainment armoires and mirrors primarily in traditional styling. Bedroom furniture is sold through independent sales representatives to regional and independent furniture retail stores. Dining Room Furniture Casual dining furniture is manufactured and sold under the Chromcraft brand name. Casual dining furniture is designed for use in dining rooms, family rooms, recreation rooms, kitchens and apartments without formal dining areas. The product line consists primarily of coordinated dining suites in a contemporary or traditional style that include tables with laminated, wood or glass table tops, stationary and tilt-swivel chairs, pedestal chairs and barstools. Chairs are upholstered in a variety of fabrics and vinyls, while tables are manufactured from metal, wood, glass, faux marble and other materials, and come in a variety of shapes. Chromcraft competes primarily at the medium-to-higher price points in casual dining. Chromcraft's casual dining furniture is sold in the United States through company sales personnel and independent sales representatives to national, regional, independent and specialty dining retail furniture stores. Solid wood dining room furniture, primarily in oak, cherry, ash or maple, is manufactured and sold at medium price points under the Cochrane Furniture brand name and at mid-to-higher price points under the Sumter Cabinet brand name.

Cochrane Furniture dining room tables are offered in solid wood or a high pressure laminate table top. Sumter Cabinet dining room tables feature solid wood tops, leaves, and legs. Dining room furniture is sold primarily in the United States through independent sales representatives to regional and independent furniture retail stores. Upholstered Furniture Upholstered sofas, chairs and ottomans are manufactured and sold under the Cochrane Furniture brand name. Upholstered furniture is styled in traditional or contemporary patterns in a wide selection of fabrics using a heat tempered coil seat construction to evenly distribute body weight. Seat cushions are made with high-density, high-resilience polyurethane foam and wrapped in polyester fiber for consistent comfort. Cochrane Furniture's upholstered furniture is sold primarily at medium price points. Upholstered furniture is sold through independent sales representatives primarily to independent furniture retail stores. Commercial Furniture Commercial furniture, sold under the Chromcraft brand name, includes stationary and tilt-swivel office chairs, conference and meeting room tables, and lounge-area seating products for airports and other public waiting areas. Chairs are offered in both contemporary and transitional styles and are upholstered in various grades and colors of fabric or leather. They include executive models with high backs, management models, ergonomic computer task chairs, and secretarial models with no arm rests. Products are sold through company sales personnel and independent sales representatives to office product dealers, wholesalers/distributors and various contract customers. Manufacturing Manufacturing operations include cutting, shaping, sanding, finishing and final assembly of wood furniture, metal 3 fabricating, plating, powder-coat painting and chair foam production for casual dining furniture and cutting and sewing of upholstery fabric. Cochrane Furniture and Sumter Cabinet also have rough mill operations and woodworking plants which process green lumber into parts for internal use. In addition, the Company supplements its domestic manufacturing by sourcing parts and finished furniture primarily from the Pacific Rim. Raw Materials Major raw materials are wood, steel, fabrics, glass, medium-density fiberboard, wood finishing materials, cartons, foam for cushions and paddings and mechanisms. Suppliers are selected for their ability to deliver high quality products on a timely basis and at competitive prices. Chromcraft Revington believes that supplies of raw materials are available in sufficient quantities from an adequate number of suppliers. No significant shortages of raw materials were experienced during 2003. Inventory and Seasonal Requirements Chromcraft Revington maintains a finished goods inventory for occasional, dining room and bedroom furniture in order to respond quickly to customer delivery needs. Most casual dining, upholstered and commercial furniture is made to customer specifications and, therefore, not carried in stock. A limited number of casual dining, upholstered and commercial furniture items are maintained for quick delivery programs. Sales have historically not been subject to material seasonal fluctuations. Competition The U.S. furniture industry is highly fragmented and Chromcraft Revington encounters intense domestic and import competition in the sale of all its products. In recent years, low-cost foreign competitors, primarily from China, have significantly increased shipments into the United States. Many of Chromcraft Revington's competitors, some of which are larger and have greater financial resources, produce a number of products which are not competitive with Chromcraft Revington's products. In many cases, such companies do not disclose the portion of their sales attributable to products similar to those manufactured by Chromcraft Revington. It is, therefore, impractical to state with any certainty Chromcraft Revington's relative position in a particular product line. Competition in Chromcraft Revington's products is in the form of the quality of its products, service and selling prices. Backlog Chromcraft Revington's backlog of sales orders was approximately $15.8 million at December 31, 2003, as compared to approximately $16.2 million at December 31, 2002. Order backlog at any particular time is not necessarily indicative of the level of future shipments. Environment Chromcraft Revington believes it is in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations which impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the environment and establish standards for the treatment of hazardous wastes. Employees Chromcraft Revington employs a total of approximately 1,500 people.

(c) Korn Industries is included in Chromcraft Revington's consolidated financial results from its acquisition date of September 2, 1999. 7 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview For the year ended December 31, 2003, Chromcraft Revington had lower sales and net earnings of $184,228,000 and $8,088,000, respectively, compared to sales and net earnings before an accounting change of $214,186,000 and $10,738,000, respectively, in 2002. Sales for 2003 were negatively impacted by foreign import competition and a weak economic environment. Earnings were lower primarily due to the lower sales volume and a reduced production level, which impacted fixed cost absorption and manufacturing efficiencies. Earnings for 2003 included a $3,650,000 pre-tax non-cash gain, or $2,263,000 on an after-tax basis, for the resolution of a claim in connection with the Company's earlier acquisition of a subsidiary. Chromcraft Revington encounters intense domestic and import competition in the sale of all its products. Furniture imports into the U.S. continue to grow at double digit rates with the majority of the growth coming from China. Foreign importers compete based on price, utilizing their low wage and overhead cost structure. In addition, China's government continues to hold its currency value fixed to the U.S. dollar, which has helped to keep its goods cheaper, thereby increasing its exports. Low-cost imports and the global oversupply of furniture capacity have begun to cause deflationary pricing pressures in the U.S. market. These competitive conditions are expected to continue. Significant factors that influence furniture sales include consumer confidence levels, interest rates, consumer spending and new and existing home sales. Chromcraft Revington's business strategy is to operate as a low-cost, high-quality manufacturer and distributor of residential and commercial furniture. In response to the reduced sales level, the Company has adjusted production schedules to lower inventories, implemented cost reduction programs and reduced employment levels. Also, the Company has supplemented its domestic manufacturing with imports of low-cost, labor-intensive furniture components and finished furniture from the Far East. Using this blended approach of domestic manufacturing and selective importing, the Company believes it is better able to control the quality of furniture and service to its customers. Chromcraft Revington's competitiveness with producers from other countries is influenced by transportation costs, timely delivery of furniture to retailers and product differentiation. The Company has several operating segments, some of which have been impacted more severely than others from the reduced sales volume. As a result, Chromcraft Revington may need to consolidate or curtail operations in the future if operating results or business conditions do not improve. Also, the Company's operating units have experienced inflationary price increases in raw materials and other costs. The Company is seeking ways to mitigate this impact through product engineering, offshore sourcing of low-cost inventory components and material substitution. Due to the competitive environment, the Company does not expect to be able to pass through any significant cost increases to its customers in the near future. 8 Results of Operations The following table sets forth the results of operations of Chromcraft Revington for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 expressed as a percentage of sales. Year Ended December 31, ----------------------- 2003 2002 2001 ------ ------ ------ Sales 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Cost of sales 79.0 76.9 79.0 ----- ----- ----- Gross margin 21.0 23.1 21.0 Selling, general and administrative expenses 14.8 14.2 13.1 Other (income) (2.0) -- -- ----- ----- ----- Operating income 8.2 8.9 7.9 Interest expense .7 .8 .3 ----- ----- ----- Earnings before income taxes and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle 7.5 8.1 7.6 Income tax expense 3.1 3.1 3.0 ----- ----- ----- Earnings before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle 4.4 5.0 4.6 Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle -- (12.5) -- ----- ----- ----- Net earnings (loss) 4.4 % (7.5)% 4.6 % ===== ===== ===== 2003 Compared to 2002 Consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $184,228,000, a 14.0% decrease from sales of $214,186,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Shipments of all residential furniture categories were lower during 2003 as compared to 2002. Commercial furniture shipments were slightly higher as compared to 2002. The sales decline in 2003 was primarily due to a lower number of units sold, attributable to foreign import competition and a weak economic environment. Selling prices in 2003 remained unchanged from the prior year. Gross margin was $38,636,000, or 21.0% of sales, in 2003, as compared to $49,441,000, or 23.1% of sales in 2002. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to a reduced production level, which impacted fixed cost absorption and manufacturing efficiencies. In addition, gross margin in 2003 was reduced by a $950,000 write down for slow moving bedroom furniture. In response to the lower sales volume, the Company continues to reduce costs and lower employment levels. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $3,101,000 to $27,263,000 from $30,364,000 in 2002. The lower expense in 2003 was primarily due to a decrease in sales commission expense of $1,399,000 and reduced performance based compensation of $1,258,000. Operating income was $15,023,000 in 2003 as compared to $19,077,000 in 2002. Operating income for 2003 includes a $3,650,000 non-recurring non-cash gain on the resolution of a claim in connection with the Company's earlier acquisition of a subsidiary. Interest expense decreased to $1,147,000 in 2003 from $1,758,000 in 2002. The lower interest expense for 2003 was primarily due to a decrease in bank borrowings. Chromcraft Revington's effective income tax rate was 41.7% for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to 38.0% for the year ended December 31, 2002. The effective income tax rate was higher in 2003 primarily due to additional income tax expense of $515,000 for a change in the tax basis of certain acquired assets. 9 Earnings per share on a diluted basis were $1.94 in 2003 as compared to diluted earnings per share before an accounting change of $2.04 in 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2003, shares used in computing diluted earnings per share decreased to 4,173,000 from 5,273,000 for 2002. The lower number of shares used in 2003 was primarily due to the purchase of 5,695,418 shares of Company common stock by Chromcraft Revington and the ESOP Trust that was completed on March 15, 2002. 2002 Compared to 2001 Consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $214,186,000, a 6.3% decrease from sales of $228,492,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Shipments of occasional, dining room, bedroom, upholstered and commercial furniture were lower during 2002 as compared to 2001. The residential furniture sales decline was mainly due to a weak economic environment and increased import competition, primarily from China. Shipments of commercial furniture were impacted by a downturn in the office furniture industry. In general, selling prices were at approximately the same level as compared to the prior year. Gross margin was $49,441,000, or 23.1% of sales, in 2002, as compared to $48,058,000, or 21.0% of sales, in 2001. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily due to improved operating efficiencies, cost reductions, and a more favorable product mix. In 2002, cost reductions included sourcing of low-cost furniture components primarily from China. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $277,000 to $30,364,000 in 2002 from $30,087,000 in 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 14.2% for 2002 as compared to 13.1% for 2001. The expense percentage increase for 2002 was primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, partially offset by the Company not recording goodwill amortization expense of $1,304,000 due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("Statement 142"). Interest expense increased to $1,758,000 in 2002 from $687,000 in 2001. The higher interest expense for 2002 was due to higher average bank borrowings during 2002. Chromcraft Revington's effective income tax rate was 38% for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to 39% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in the effective rate was primarily due to the elimination of non-tax deductible goodwill amortization expense upon implementation of Statement 142. The Company adopted Statement 142 effective January 1, 2002 and recorded a one time non-cash transition charge of $26,727,000 (net of tax benefit) for impairment of goodwill in the first quarter of 2002. The loss was recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. See Note 3 "Goodwill Impairment Loss" to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Diluted earnings per share before the accounting change were $2.04 in 2002 as compared to $1.09 in 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2002, shares used in computing diluted earnings per share decreased to 5,273,000 from 9,685,000 for 2001. The reduction in the number of shares in 2002 was primarily due to the purchase of 5,695,418 shares of Company common stock by Chromcraft Revington and the ESOP Trust that was completed March 15, 2002. Liquidity and Capital Resources Operating activities provided $17,870,000 of cash during the year ended December 31, 2003, a decrease of $7,149,000 from the amount provided in 2002. The decrease in cash flow in 2003 was primarily due to lower cash earnings. In 2003, a decrease in inventories generated cash of $8,944,000. Inventories were reduced in response to the lower sales activity. The Company does not anticipate a further reduction in inventories in 2004. Investing activities used $652,000 of cash for net capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $1,413,000 during 2002. Chromcraft Revington expects to spend approximately $2,000,000 for capital expenditures in 2004. 10 Financing activities used $17,218,000 of cash during 2003 primarily to reduce bank debt and to acquire shares of Company common stock. During 2003, the Company acquired 168,700 shares of its common stock for $2,225,860, or approximately $13.19 per share. The share repurchase includes 98,200 shares purchased from the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer for $1,303,605, or $13.275 per share with the share price determined based on an average selling price of the Company's common stock prior to the sale date. Financing activities used $31,813,000 of cash during 2002. On March 15, 2002, Chromcraft Revington and its newly formed ESOP Trust purchased 5,695,418 shares of Company common stock from Court Square for a total purchase price of $60,529,000. The ESOP Trust purchased 2,000,000 of the shares for $20,000,000, using funds borrowed from the Company, with the remainder of the shares purchased by the Company. The transaction was financed with available cash and bank borrowings Under its bank agreement, interest rates under the term loan and revolving credit line are determined at the time of borrowing at either the prime rate or LIBOR plus a spread based on a leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2003 was 2.5%. The Company has $1,997,000 of standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2003 in connection with workers compensation insurance programs. These letters of credit expire on December 6, 2004 and are generally renewed annually. Management expects that cash flow from operations and availability under its bank revolving credit line will continue to be sufficient to meet future liquidity needs. At December 31, 2003, Chromcraft Revington had $36,600,000 in unused availability under a bank revolving credit line that matures in 2007. Chromcraft Revington expects to generate excess cash flow in 2004 which will be used to reduce bank debt, repurchase Company common stock or for general corporate purposes. Contractual Obligations The following table summarizes the Company's contractual obligations at December 31, 2003: Payments Due by Period ------------------------------------------------ Less than 1 - 3 4 - 5 More than (In thousands) Total 1 Year Years Years 5 Years -------------------------------------------- ----- ------ ----- ----- ------- Bank debt Term loan $ 9,250 $ 5,000 $ 4,250 $ -- $ -- Revolving credit line 2,800 -- -- 2,800 -- Operating leases 1,153 938 209 6 -- Other long-term liabilities (less non-current deferred taxes of $921) 4,177 168 679 1,595 1,735 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total contractual cash obligations $17,380 $ 6,106 $ 5,138 $ 4,401 $ 1,735 ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the related footnotes. Chromcraft Revington considers the following accounting policies to be most significantly impacted by the estimates and judgments used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts ------------------------------- The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on expected collectability of trade receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on the Company's analysis of customer credit-worthiness, historical loss experience and general economic conditions and trends. 11 Inventories ----------- Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventories valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis represent approximately 57% of total inventories at December 31, 2003. All remaining inventories are valued using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company evaluates its inventories for excess or slow moving items based on sales order activity and expected market changes. If circumstances indicate the cost of inventories exceed their recoverable value, inventories are reduced to net realizable value. Employee Related Benefits ------------------------- Accounting for self-insured health care and workers compensation liabilities involves assumptions of expected claims based on past experience and a review of individual claims. The Company establishes a liability based on claim information supplied by insurance and third party administrators. Actual claim expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company. Property, Plant and Equipment ----------------------------- The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in facts and circumstances indicate the possibility that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that may trigger an impairment evaluation include under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results and significant negative industry or economic trends. If the forecast of undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of the assets to fair value will be recognized in the current period. Recently Issued Accounting Standards ------------------------------------ In January 2003, The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("Interpretation 46"), which addresses the consolidation of certain entities in which a company has a controlling financial interest through means other than voting rights. This interpretation was revised in December 2003. For calendar year companies, Interpretation 46 contains an effective date of December 31, 2003 for special purpose entities, and periods ending after March 15, 2004 for all other entities. The Company does not own interests in special purpose entities and management does not believe that the adoption of this Interpretation will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The FASB also recently issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity ("Statement 150"), which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Statement 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. FASB Staff Position Financial Accounting Standard 150-3, "Effective Date, Disclosures, and Transition for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests under FASB Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," defers the effective date of Statement 150 for certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests of all entities. Management does not believe the adoption of these statements will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 Certain information and statements contained in this report, including, without limitation, the section captioned "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be generally identified as such because they include future tense or dates, or are not historical or current facts, or include words such as "anticipate," "believes," "may," or "expects," or words of similar import. 12 Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those reported, expected, or anticipated as of the date of this report. Among the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those reported, expected or anticipated are general economic conditions; import and domestic competition in the furniture industry; market interest rates; consumer confidence levels; cyclical nature of the furniture industry; consumer spending; changes in relationships with customers; customer acceptance of existing and new products; new and existing home sales; and other factors that generally affect business. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements to reflect information, events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Borrowings under Chromcraft Revington's bank agreement bear interest at a variable rate and, therefore, are subject to changes in interest rates. A one-percentage point fluctuation in market interest rates would have had a $153,000 impact on net earnings in 2003. The Company sources certain raw materials and finished furniture, primarily from the Pacific Rim. These purchases are payable in U.S. dollars and, therefore, the Company has no material foreign exchange rate risk exposure. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The financial statements and schedule are listed in Part IV, Items 15(a) (1) and (2). Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Chromcraft Revington's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, are effective. Chromcraft Revington's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The design of any system of controls also is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can only be reasonable assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. (b) Changes in internal controls. There have been no significant changes in Chromcraft Revington's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation. 13 Part III Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Code of Ethics -------------- The Company has adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of its directors, officers (including its chief executive officer, chief financial and accounting officer, controller and any person performing similar functions) and employees. The Company has filed a copy of this Code of Ethics as Exhibit 14.1 to this Form 10-K. A copy of the Code of Ethics is available without charge upon written request. Audit Committee Financial Expert -------------------------------- The Company's Board of Directors has determined that each member of its Audit Committee is a "financial expert", as defined under Item 401 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Those members of the Company's Audit Committee who are deemed to be financial experts are as follows: Warren G. Wintrub Larry P. Kunz Theodore L. Mullett David L. Kolb All persons identified as financial experts are independent from management as defined by Item 7 (e) (3), of Schedule 14A. In accordance with the provisions of General Instruction G to Form 10-K, the information required for the remainder of required disclosures under Item 10 is not set forth herein because Chromcraft Revington intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a definitive Proxy Statement pursuant to Regulation 14A not later than 120 days following the end of its 2003 fiscal year, which Proxy Statement will contain such information. The information required by Item 10, not presented above, is incorporated herein by reference to such Proxy Statement.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chromcraft Revington, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Chromcraft Revington manufactures and sells residential and commercial furniture. Products are sold primarily through furniture dealers throughout the United States and Canada. Chromcraft Revington has several operating segments which are aggregated into one reportable segment, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Revenue Recognition ------------------- Revenue from sales is recognized when the goods are shipped and risk and rewards of ownership transfer to the customer. Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash Equivalents ---------------- The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable ------------------- Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on expected collectability of trade receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on the Company's analysis of customer credit-worthiness, historical loss experience and general economic conditions and trends. The Company reviews past due balances and its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible along with a general reserve are included in the overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have been exhausted, the receivable is written off against the allowance. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Inventories ----------- All inventories (materials, labor and overhead) are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventories valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis represent approximately 57% and 62% of total inventories at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Remaining inventories are valued using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Property, Plant and Equipment ----------------------------- Property, plant and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and by accelerated methods for tax purposes. The following estimated useful lives are used for financial reporting purposes: buildings and improvements, 15 to 45 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 12 years; and leasehold improvements, 5 to 10 years. F-5 Impairment of Long-lived Assets ------------------------------- When changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of certain long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the assets will be evaluated for impairment. If the forecast of undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of the assets to fair value will be recognized in the current period. Deferred Income Taxes --------------------- Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Earnings per Share ------------------ Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include dilutive potential common shares (stock options). Financial Instruments --------------------- The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for accounts receivable, accounts payable and bank debt approximate their fair values. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of entities comprising Chromcraft Revington's customer base. Stock Options ------------- At December 31, 2003, the Company has two stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 14 "Stock Options". The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations and discloses the fair value of options granted as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("Statement No. 123"). The estimated per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2003 and 2002 was $4.77 and $6.15, respectively, on the date of grant. No stock options were granted during 2001. The fair value of stock options on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with an expected life, interest rate and volatility for 2003 of 6 years, 3.5% and 34.0% and for 2002, 6 years, 5.1% and 34.6%, respectively. F-6 The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation. Year Ended December 31, ----------------------------- 2003 2002 2001 ------- --------- -------- Net earnings (loss), as reported $ 8,088 $ (15,989) $ 10,543 Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net earnings (loss), net of related tax effects 122 97 -- Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects (726) (416) (60) ------- --------- -------- Pro forma net earnings (loss) $ 7,484 $ (16,308) $ 10,483 ======= ========= ======== Earnings (loss) per share Basic - as reported $ 1.97 $ (3.09) $ 1.10 Basic - pro forma $ 1.82 $ (3.16) $ 1.09 Diluted - as reported $ 1.94 $ (3.09) $ 1.09 Diluted - pro forma $ 1.81 $ (3.16) $ 1.08 Note 2. Other Income Operating income for 2003 included a $3,650,000 non-cash gain on the resolution of a claim in connection with the Company's earlier acquisition of a subsidiary. Note 3. Goodwill Impairment Loss Chromcraft Revington adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("Statement 142") effective January 1, 2002 and recorded a non-cash transition charge of $26,727,000 (net of tax benefit), or $5.17 loss per share, for the year ended December 31, 2002, for impairment of goodwill. The charge was recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. On January 1, 2002, the Company's fair value (based on quoted market prices) was less than the carrying value of its net assets, including goodwill, which indicated an impairment of goodwill. Under Statement 142, fair value was allocated to the assets and liabilities of the Company based on the purchase accounting method. This calculation indicated that the full amount of goodwill was impaired at the date of adoption of Statement 142. F-7 The following table presents earnings before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, after adjustment for goodwill amortization.

Stockholders' Equity On March 15, 2002, Chromcraft Revington and the Chromcraft Revington Employee Stock Ownership Trust ("ESOP Trust"), which forms a part of the Chromcraft Revington Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), completed the purchase of 5,695,418 shares of common stock of Chromcraft Revington, comprising approximately 59% of Chromcraft Revington's issued and outstanding shares of common stock on such date, from Court Square Capital Limited ("Court Square"), an affiliate of Citigroup Inc. With respect to the shares of common stock purchased from Court Square, 3,695,418 shares were repurchased by Chromcraft Revington ("Company Stock Transaction") and 2,000,000 shares were purchased by the ESOP Trust ("ESOP Stock Transaction" together with the Company Stock Transaction being referred to herein as the "Transaction"). Chromcraft Revington and the ESOP Trust each paid $10 per share for the shares acquired from Court Square for a total purchase price of $56,954,180. In addition, Chromcraft Revington paid fees and expenses of $3,575,000 in connection with the Transaction. See Note 11 "Employee Stock Ownership Plan" for additional information on the ESOP. In 2003, the Company bought 98,200 shares of Chromcraft Revington common stock from Michael E. Thomas, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer for $1,303,605, or $13.275 per share with the purchase price determined based on an average selling price of the Company's common stock prior to the sale date. F-8 Note 5. Inventories Inventories at December 31, 2003 and 2002 consisted of the following: (In thousands) -------------------- 2003 2002 -------- -------- Raw materials $ 8,811 $ 11,988 Work-in-process 5,835 7,396 Finished goods 18,109 22,437 -------- -------- Inventories at FIFO cost 32,755 41,821 LIFO reserve (1,887) (2,009) -------- -------- $ 30,868 $ 39,812 ======== ======== During the years 2003 and 2002, LIFO inventory layers were reduced. This reduction resulted in charging lower inventory costs prevailing in previous years to cost of sales, thus reducing cost of sales by $122,000 and $34,000 below the amount that would have resulted from liquidating inventory recorded at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 prices, respectively. Note 6. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2003 and 2002 consisted of the following: (In thousands) -------------------- 2003 2002 -------- -------- Land $ 2,231 $ 2,231 Buildings and improvements 34,676 34,583 Machinery and equipment 51,411 51,559 Leasehold improvements 787 787 Construction in progress 54 83 -------- -------- 89,159 89,243 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (53,993) (50,538) -------- -------- $ 35,166 $ 38,705 ======== ======== Note 7.

Bank Debt Chromcraft Revington has a bank agreement with a group of banks that provides for a term loan and a revolving credit line. The interest rate under the bank agreement is determined at the time of borrowing at either the prime rate or LIBOR plus a spread based on a leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 was 2.5% and 3.2%, respectively. A commitment fee, of up to .25% per annum, is payable on the unused portion of the revolving credit line. At December 31, 2003, the Company had approximately $36,600,000 in unused availability under the revolving credit line. The bank agreement requires compliance with certain financial loan covenants related to net worth, fixed charge coverage and debt leverage. The Company has granted a security interest in all of its assets to the banks under the bank agreement. The Company also has pledged to the banks the shares of common stock owned by the ESOP Trust and pledged by the ESOP Trust to the Company. The bank agreement does not permit the payment of cash dividends. Long-term bank debt at December 31, 2003 and 2002 consisted of the following: (In thousands) -------------------- 2003 2002 -------- -------- Term loan $ 9,250 $ 21,250 Revolving credit line 2,800 6,800 -------- -------- 12,050 28,050 Less current portion of term loan 5,000 5,000 -------- -------- $ 7,050 $ 23,050 ======== ======== The term loan is payable in quarterly installments of $1,250,000. The revolving credit line expires on March 13, 2007. Annual required payments on bank debt over the next five years are $5,000,000 in 2004, $4,250,000 in 2005 and $2,800,000 in 2007. Note 9. Income Taxes Components of total income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were as follows: (In thousands) ---------------------------- 2003 2002 2001 ------- ------- ------- Current: Federal $ 3,904 $ 5,504 $ 6,454 State 800 810 711 ------- ------- ------- 4,704 6,314 7,165 ------- ------- ------- Deferred: Federal 986 345 (342) State 98 (78) (82) ------- ------- ------- 1,084 267 (424) ------- ------- ------- Total provision for income taxes on earnings before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle 5,788 6,581 6,741 Tax benefit recorded as part of a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle -- (1,453) -- ------- ------- ------- $ 5,788 $ 5,128 $ 6,741 ======= ======= ======= F-10 A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes attributable to earnings before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the amount computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 is summarized below: (In thousands) ---------------------------- 2003 2002 2001 ------- ------- ------- Tax expense, at U.S. statutory rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% State taxes, net of federal benefit 3.6% 2.8% 2.7% Non-deductible amortization of goodwill -- -- 2.0% Change in the tax basis of certain acquired assets 3.7% -- -- Other, net (0.6%) 0.2% (0.7%) ------- ------- ------- Total provision for income taxes 41.7% 38.0% 39.0% ======= ======= ======= The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of net deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2003 and 2002 are summarized below: (In thousands) ------------------ 2003 2002 ------- ------- Deferred tax assets attributable to: Accounts receivable $ 577 $ 532 Accrued vacation and holiday pay 361 351 Workers compensation 357 471 ESOP compensation expense 266 120 Deferred compensation 1,878 2,465 Goodwill 1,154 1,303 Net operating loss carryforwards 1,716 1,942 Other liabilities 1,212 2,646 ------- ------- Total gross deferred tax assets 7,521 9,830 ------- ------- Deferred tax liabilities attributable to: Inventories (1,662) (3,154) Property, plant and equipment (6,065) (5,340) Other (394) (852) ------- ------- Total gross deferred tax liabilities (8,121) (9,346) ------- ------- Net deferred tax asset (liability) $ (600) $ 484 ======= ======= Balance sheet classifications of deferred taxes at December 31, 2003 and 2002 were as follows: (In thousands) ------------------ 2003 2002 ------- ------- Deferred tax asset (liability), current $ 321 $ (626) Deferred tax asset (liability), noncurrent (921) 1,110 ------- ------- Net deferred tax asset (liability) $ (600) $ 484 ======= ======= Chromcraft Revington has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL's") available of $3,233,000 and $7,182,000, respectively, with expiration dates through 2010 and 2018, respectively. The NOL's were acquired in connection with the acquisitions of Cochrane Furniture and Korn Industries. The use of the state NOL is primarily limited to the future taxable earnings of Korn Industries. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that Chromcraft Revington will realize these tax benefits. F-11 Note 10. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock Weighted average shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share included dilutive potential common shares (stock options) of approximately 64,000, 105,000 and 108,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Certain options to purchase shares of common stock were outstanding during 2003, 2002 and 2001, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares during those periods and, therefore, their effect would be antidilutive. Options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share and their weighted average exercise prices were 223,060 shares at $15.26 at December 31, 2003, 148,900 shares at $16.41 at December 31, 2002 and 376,060 shares at $13.48 at December 31, 2001. Note 11. Employee Stock Ownership Plan Chromcraft Revington sponsors a leveraged employee stock ownership plan that covers substantially all employees who have completed six months of service. Chromcraft Revington makes annual contributions to the ESOP Trust equal to the ESOP Trust's repayment of its loan to the Company. Chromcraft Revington loaned $20,000,000 to the ESOP Trust to finance the ESOP Stock Transaction. The loan to the ESOP Trust provides for repayment to Chromcraft Revington over a 30-year term at a fixed rate of interest of 5.48% per annum. The shares of common stock owned by the ESOP Trust are pledged to the Company as collateral for the Company's loan to the ESOP Trust. As the ESOP loan is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to ESOP accounts of active employees based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. Chromcraft Revington accounts for its ESOP in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Accordingly, unearned ESOP shares are reported as a reduction of stockholders' equity as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity of the Company. As shares are committed to be released, Chromcraft Revington reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. ESOP compensation expense, a non-cash charge, was $837,000 in 2003 and $722,000 in 2002. ESOP shares consisted of the following: (In thousands) ----------------- December 31, 2003 2002 ------- ------- Allocated shares 120 53 Committed to be released shares -- -- Unearned ESOP shares 1,880 1,947 ------- ------- Total ESOP shares 2,000 2,000 ======= ======= Unearned ESOP shares, at cost $18,798 $19,469 ======= ======= Fair value of unearned ESOP shares $21,317 $25,407 ======= ======= At December 31, 2003 the ESOP Trust owned approximately 33.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Chromcraft Revington's common stock. Note 12. Other Benefit Plans Chromcraft Revington sponsors a tax-qualified defined contribution plan. Company contributions to the plan were $11,000 in 2003, $74,000 in 2002 and $524,000 in 2001. Beginning in 2002, Company retirement contributions for most employees were made to the ESOP. Chromcraft Revington also provides supplemental retirement benefits to key employees and executive officers of Chromcraft Revington. Expenses under these arrangements were $702,000 in 2003, $908,000 in 2002 and $63,000 in 2001. F-12 Note 13.

Stock Options Chromcraft Revington's 1992 Stock Option Plan, as amended ("1992 Plan"), provides for the granting of either incentive stock options ("ISO's") or stock options which do not qualify as incentive stock options ("non-ISO's"). The total number of shares of common stock which may be issued under stock options granted pursuant to the 1992 Plan is 1,800,000 shares. ISO's granted under the 1992 Plan vest over no greater than a 10-year period, and are granted at exercise prices no less than the fair market value of Chromcraft Revington's common shares as of the date of grant. The compensation committee of the Board of Directors determines the vesting period and exercise prices of non-ISO's. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, there were 154,627 and 238,730 shares, respectively, available for future grants. Chromcraft Revington's Directors' Stock Option Plan ("Directors' Plan") was adopted effective January 1, 2002, and provides for the granting of non-ISO's to members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are not employees. Under the Directors' Plan, eligible directors of the Company receive an option to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock on the day following each annual meeting of stockholders. Any new director who is elected or appointed for the first time to the Board of Directors receives an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock. The total number of shares of common stock which may be issued under stock options granted pursuant to the Directors' Plan is 75,000 shares. Non-ISO's granted under the Plan are 100% vested on the day of the grant and are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of Chromcraft Revington's common shares as of the date of grant. The options are exercisable for a period of ten years. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, there were 40,000 and 50,000 shares, respectively, available for future grants.

Note 17. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In January 2003, The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("Interpretation 46"), which addresses the consolidation of certain entities in which a company has a controlling financial interest through means other than voting rights. This interpretation was revised in December 2003. For calendar year companies, Interpretation 46 contains an effective date of December 31, 2003 for special purpose entities, and periods ending after March 15, 2004 for all other entities. The Company does not own interests in special purpose entities and the adoption of this Interpretation did not have any effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The FASB also recently issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity ("Statement 150"), which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Statement 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. FASB Staff Position Financial Accounting Standard 150-3, "Effective Date, Disclosures, and Transition for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests under FASB Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," defers the effective date of Statement 150 for certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests of all entities. The adoption of these statements did not have any effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. F-14 Independent Auditors' Report The Board of Directors and Stockholders Chromcraft Revington, Inc.: We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Chromcraft Revington, Inc. and subsidiaries as listed in item 15(a) (1) and (2). In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the consolidated financial statement schedule as listed in item 15(a) (1) and (2). These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chromcraft Revington, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. As discussed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill amortization and impairment in 2002.
