NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – CONDENSED FOOTNOTES

As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) instructions to Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements. Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2012, as filed with the Commission.

The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, the financial information included in this report contains all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The January 1, 2012, consolidated condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

As described below in Note 9,10, the Company has sold its Fabrics GroupBentley Prince Street business segment. The results of operations and related disposal costs, gains and losses for this business are classified as discontinued operations, where applicable.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE 2 – INVENTORIES

Inventories are summarized as follows:

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company computes basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding, including participating securities outstanding, during the period as discussed below. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic EPS that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in the Company’s earnings.

- 7 -


The Company includes all unvested stock awards which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in our basic and diluted EPS calculations when the inclusion of these shares would be dilutive. Unvested share-based awards of restricted stock are paid dividends equally with all other shares of common stock. As a result, the Company includes all outstanding restricted stock awards in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Distributed earnings include common stock dividends and dividends earned on unvested share-based payment awards. Undistributed earnings represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. The following tables show distributed and undistributed earnings:

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2012, as filed with the Commission. Segment amounts disclosed are prior to any elimination entries made in consolidation, except in the case of net sales, where intercompany sales have been eliminated. The chief operating decision-maker evaluates performance of the segments based on operating income. Costs excluded from this profit measure primarily consist of allocated corporate expenses, interest/other expense and income taxes. Corporate expenses are primarily comprised of corporate overhead expenses. Thus, operating income includes only the costs that are directly attributable to the operations of the individual segment. Assets not identifiable to any individual segment are corporate assets, which are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, intangible assets and intercompany amounts, which are eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 6 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Awards

In accordance with accounting standards, the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide the services – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) – in exchange for the award. The grant date fair value for options and similar instruments will be estimated using option pricing models. Under accounting standards, the Company is required to select a valuation technique or option pricing model that meets the criteria stated in the standard. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model. Accounting standards require that the Company estimate forfeitures for stock options and reduce compensation expense accordingly. The Company has reduced its stock compensation expense by the assumed forfeiture rate and will evaluate experience against this forfeiture rate going forward.

NOTE 1112 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard regarding the performance of a company’s annual goodwill impairment evaluation. This standard allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have any significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB amended an accounting standard regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. This amendment will require companies to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement or as two consecutive statements. It eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The amended guidance, which must be applied retroactively, was to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 31, 2012, with earlier adoption permitted. In December of 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to this statement which defers the requirements of this standard. As this amendment only affects presentation, there is not expected to be any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1213 – INCOME TAXES

Accounting standards require that all tax positions be analyzed using a two-step approach. The first step requires an entity to determine if a tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. In the second step, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. In the first sixnine months of 2012, the Company increased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $0.1$0.4 million. As of July 1,September 30, 2012, the Company had accrued approximately $7.8$8.1 million for unrecognized tax benefits.

NOTE 1314 – SHARE CONVERSION

On March 5, 2012, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock constituted less than 10% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (that is, on that date, 6,459,556 shares of an aggregate of 65,372,375 shares), as the cumulative result of varied transactions that caused the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock. Accordingly, in accordance with the respective terms for the Class B Common Stock and the Class A Common Stock in Article V of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, (the “Articles”), the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are now, irrevocably from March 5, 2012, a single class of Common Stock in all respects, with no distinction whatsoever between the voting rights or any other rights and privileges of the holders of Class A Common Stock and the holders of Class B Common Stock. The Company intends to eliminate future uses of (or references to) the terms “Class A” and “Class B” in connection with the Common Stock, except for historical purposes or to facilitate transition by certain stock listing or administrative services organizations who are accustomed to the old designations for the Common Stock.

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

Our discussions below in this Item 2 are based upon the more detailed discussions about our business, operations and financial condition included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2012, under Item 7 of that Form 10-K. Our discussions here focus on our results during the quarter and sixnine months ended, or as of, July 1,September 30, 2012, and the comparable periods of 2011 for comparison purposes, and, to the extent applicable, any material changes from the information discussed in that Form 10-K or other important intervening developments or information since that time. These discussions should be read in conjunction with that Form 10-K for more detailed and background information.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains statements which may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Important factors currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties associated with economic conditions in the commercial interiors industry as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2012, which discussion is hereby incorporated by reference. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time.

2012 Restructuring ChargeCharges

In the first quarter of 2012, we committed to a new restructuring plan in our continuing efforts to reduce costs across our worldwide operations and more closely align our operations with reduced demand levels in certain markets. The plan primarily consistsconsisted of ceasing manufacturing and warehousing operations at our facility in Shelf, England. In connection with this restructuring plan, we incurred a pre-tax restructuring and asset impairment charge in the first quarter of 2012 in an amount of $16.3 million. Themillion, as well as an additional related charge isof $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2012. These charges are comprised of employee severance expenses of $5.4$6.2 million, other related exit costs of $1.6 million, and a charge for impairment of assets of approximately $9.3 million. Approximately $7$8 million of the charge will result in cash expenditures, primarily severance expense. The restructuring plan was substantially completed in the second quarter of 2012, and is expected to yield annualized cost savings of approximately $9 million.

2011 Restructuring Charge

In the fourth quarter of 2011, we committed to a restructuring plan intended to reduce costs across our worldwide operations and more closely align our operations with reduced demand in certain markets. As a result of this plan, we incurred pre-tax restructuring and asset impairment charges of $6.2$5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The majority of this charge ($5.45.0 million) relatesrelated to the severance of approximately 11090 employees in Europe, Asia and the United States. The remainder of the charge ($0.8 million) relatesrelated to contract termination and fixed asset impairment costs. Approximately $5.4$5.0 million of this charge will result in cash expenditures, primarily severance expenses. Actions and expenses related to this plan were substantially completed by the end of 2011.

Discontinued Operations – Sale of Bentley Prince Street

In 2007,the third quarter of 2012, we sold our Fabrics GroupBentley Prince Street business segment. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, we have reported the results of operations for the former Fabrics GroupBentley Prince Street business segment as “discontinued operations,” where applicable. Consequently, our discussion of sales and other results of operations (except for net income or loss amounts), including percentages derived from or based on such amounts, excludes these discontinued operations unless we indicate otherwise.

Our discontinued operations had no net sales of $9.2 million and no$24.4 million in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and October 2, 2011, respectively, and had net income or losssales of $57.0 million and $77.6 million in eitherthe nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and October 2, 2011, respectively (these results are included in our statements of operations as part of the three-month or six-month periods ended July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011.

Recent Events

In July 2012, a fire occurred at“Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes”). Loss from discontinued operations, inclusive of the Company’s facility in Picton, Australia, and the Company entered into an agreementloss on disposal as well as costs to sell its Bentley Prince Streetthe business, segment. Please see Notes 14 and 15net of tax, was $16.8 million in the notesthree-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared with income from discontinued operations of $0.5 million in the three-month period ended October 2, 2011. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, inclusive of the loss on disposal as well as costs to consolidated financial statementssell the business, net of tax, the loss from discontinued operations was $17.0 million, compared with income of $1.5 million in the nine-month period ended October 2, 2011.

For additional information on these discontinued operations, please see Note 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Fire at Australia Facility

In July 2012, a fire occurred at our manufacturing facility in Picton, Australia. The fire caused extensive damage to the facility, as well as disruption to business activity in the region. We have taken steps towards re-adapting our supply chain with product from our facilities in China, Thailand, the U.S. and Europe. While this is being executed with success, there were, as expected, delays in shipments that affected sales for the third quarter. At this time, it is difficult to quantify the financial impacts of the fire, but we believe it negatively affected net sales by approximately $7-8 million during the third quarter. For additional information on the fire, please see Note 15 in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Modular Carpet Segment. For the quarter ended July 1,September 30, 2012, net sales for the Modular Carpet segment declined $11.0$5.9 million (4.6%(2.4%) versus the comparable period in the prior year. On a geographic basis, the Americas was the only region to see an increase (up 6%) versus the prior year. Although sales in Europe were up versus the third quarter of 2011 on a local currency basis (up 3%), currency fluctuations led to a decrease of 8% as reported in U.S. dollars. Largely due to the impact of the fire in our Australia facility, Asia-Pacific sales declined 19% versus the comparable period of the prior year. In the Americas, we experienced sales increases in most market segments, with retail (up 33%), corporate office (up 5%) and residential (up 10%) leading the Americas (up 6%) were offset bygrowth. The improvement in residential sales was due to the continued roll-out of our FLOR store locations. The only sales declines in the Europe (down 13% in U.S. dollars and 2% in local currencies) and Asia-Pacific (down 18%) regions. Sales growthAmericas during the third quarter of 2012 were in the Americas was due to increasesgovernment (down 12%) and education (down 4%) market segments. These decreases were a result of curtailment of government spending programs versus last year. In local currency, Europe experienced an increase in both the corporate office market segment (up 7%) and essentially flat sales in most other market segments. As reported in U.S. dollars, the sales decrease in Europe was due largely to currency fluctuations, as in U.S. dollars almost all market segments showed a decline, with the largest being in the corporate office (down 5%) and non-office markets. The strongest performing non-office market segments were residential (up 18%), retail (up 15%) and education (up 13%). The increase in the residential segment was due to new FLOR store openings as well as same store growth. These increases in the Americas were somewhat offset by declines in the government (down 25%) and healthcare (down 4%16%) market segments. In Europe, the sales decline was due primarily to negative currency translation impacts, as most market segments were flat in local currencies, with the exception of the retail (down 25% in local currencies and 33% in U.S. dollars) and government (down 10% in local currencies and 20% in U.S. dollars) market segments. Asia-Pacific, in the face of strong prior year comparable sales in the second quarter, saw declines in almostnearly all market segments with education (down 55%) showingdeclined. As noted above, the mostdelay in shipments caused by the fire in our Australian facility was a significant decline due to the curtailment of government stimulus programs that had beenfactor in place in 2011 – particularly in Australia.this sales decline.

For the sixnine months ended July 1,September 30, 2012, net sales for the Modular Carpet segment declined $20.3$26.1 million (4.4%(3.7%) versus the comparable period in the prior year. OnThe Americas region experienced sales growth of 4%, which was offset by sales decreases in Europe (down 8%) and Asia-Pacific (down 18%). In local currency, Europe experienced a geographicsales increase of 1%. In the Americas, the sales increase was led by the retail (up 16%), corporate office (up 3%) and residential (up 25%) market segments. As in the third quarter comparison set forth above, the residential segment growth is largely attributable to the continued FLOR store roll-out. In Europe, we experienced sales decreases in all market segments as reported on a U.S. dollar basis, but in local currency we experienced increases in the Americascorporate office (up 5% in local currency) and residential (up 3%) offset in local currency) market segments. These local currency increases were somewhat mitigated by declines in Europethe government (down 2%12% in local currenciescurrency) and 8% in U.S. dollars) and Asia-Pacificretail (down 17%). In the Americas, the residential market segment made the largest gain (up 34%), particularly due to the opening of seven FLOR retail stores compared with the number of stores at the end of the second quarter of 2011. The education (up 9%), retail (up 6%) and corporate office (up 3%) market segments also experienced increases during the period. These gains were somewhat offset by a decline in the government market segment (down 22%) during the first six months of 2012 versus the prior year period. In Europe, all market segments declined as reported in U.S. dollars for the six months ended July 2, 2012, versus the comparable period in 2011, due to adverse currency translation impacts. However, in local currencies,currency) market segments. In Asia-Pacific, sales were negatively impacted by the corporate office market segment in Europe experienced an increase of 4%. Asia-Pacific saw the largest decline in the education segment (down 59%), primarily as a result of the curtailment of government stimulus programs that had been in place in 2011 – particularly in Australia. The corporate office (down 6%) and hospitality (down 45%) market segments also experienced declines in Asia-Pacific compared with the first six months of 2012.

Bentley Prince Street Segment. Infire at our Bentley Prince Street segment, net sales for the quarter ended July 1, 2012 declined $2.0 million (7.4%) versus the comparable period in 2011. The primary driver of the decrease in sales was the decline in the corporate office market segment (down 21%). This decrease was partially offset by increases in the government (up 58%) and hospitality (up over 100%) market segments.

For the six months ended July 1, 2012, net sales for the Bentley Prince Street segment declined $5.4 million (10.1%) versus the comparable period in 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to the corporate office market segment (down 17%)Australia facility, as well as a decline in the government marketeducation segment (down 4%55%). due to curtailed stimulus spending versus the comparable period in prior year, particularly in Australia. Other declines in the Asia-Pacific region were seen in the corporate office (down 8%) and hospitality (down 51%) market segments. These declines were partially mitigatedoffset to as small extent by increases in the healthcaregovernment (up 22%8%) and hospitalityresidential (up 13%over 100%) market segments.

For the quarterthree months ended July 1,September 30, 2012, our cost of sales decreased $2.9$1.5 million (1.7%(0.9%) versus the comparable period in 2011. This decrease is the result of a $4 million benefit from currency translation compared with the prior year. Almost all of the decrease was attributable to fluctuationsyear period, partially offset by (1) a 2-3% increase in currency rates in the second quarter of 2012raw material prices versus the second quarter of 2011. Our raw materials prices in the second quarter of 2012 were approximately 1-2% higher than in the comparable period of 2012. Due toin 2011, and (2) lower absorption of fixed costs associated withdue to lower production volumes, particularly as a result of the fire at our Australia facility in the third quarter of 2012. Due to these factors, as a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased to 66.8% for the three months ended July 1, 2012,65.9% versus 64.6%64.9% in the comparable prior year period. On a sequential basis versusperiod in 2011. With the first quarterimprovements in our supply chain to Australia going forward, as well as the realization of 2012, we saw an improvement in cost of sales as a percentage of sales. We believe that as thefurther savings related to our first quarter 2012 restructuring plan are fully realizedinitiatives in the later part of 2012, cost of salesprior periods, we believe we will further decrease as a percentage of sales.begin to see an increase in gross margin.

For the sixnine months ended July 1,September 30, 2012, our cost of sales decreased $4.8$3.4 million (1.4%(0.7%) versus the comparable period in 2011. This decrease is the result of a $10 million benefit from currency translation compared with the prior year. Currency fluctuation accounted for the majority of the declineyear period, partially offset by (1) a 2-3% increase in raw material prices versus the comparable period in 2011, period. Our raw materials prices were approximately 2-3% higher for the first six months of 2012 versus the first six months of 2011. Due to this cost increase, coupled withand (2) lower absorption of fixed manufacturing costs associated with lower production volumes cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 67.0% forversus the 2012nine-month period versus 64.6% for the 2011 period.last year. As noted above, we believe that as the savings related to our first quarter 2012 restructuring plan are fully realized in the later part of 2012, cost of salesplans will further decrease as a percentage of sales.enhance gross margin going forward.

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates accounted for approximately $2$1.5 million of thisthe decrease. The primaryA significant component of thethis decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was lowera $1.7 million reduction in selling and marketing expenses of approximately $3.0 million. This decrease was primarily due to our continued focus on costs controls and the realizationimpacts of savings fromour previously-enacted restructuring plans, and a portion was due to lower sales volumes versus the third quarter of 2011. Administrative expenses also experienced a decline in the third quarter of 2012 (down $2.1 million) versus the prior year period, as the effects of our restructuring plans which were put in placeprograms in late 2011 and early 2012 as well as lower selling costs associated with lower sales volume in the second quarter of 2012 versus the comparable period in 2011.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by approximately $3.0$13 million during the first six monthsas a result of 2012 versus 2011 due to the savings from these plans, although this decrease was slightly offset by increased marketing costs due to trade show and similar expenses, primarily in the first three months of 2012. Administrative expenses declined by approximately $8.0 million during the 2012 six-month period, due to savings from our restructuring plans, as well asboth lower levels of non-cash incentive compensation in the first six months of 2012 versus 2011.

Interest Expense

For the three-month period ended July 1,September 30, 2012, our interest expense decreased $0.7$0.1 million to $6.1$6.3 million, versus $6.8$6.4 million in the comparable period of 2011. The primary reason for this decrease was the redemption of the remaining $11.5 million of our 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes early in the second quarter of 2012, leading to lower interest expense for the balance of the quarter. The decrease was also due in part to lower amounts of bank fees for the second quarter of 2012 versus 2011. For the sixnine months ended July 1,September 30, 2012, our interest expense decreased by approximately $0.6$0.8 million to $12.8$19.1 million, versus $13.4$20.0 million in the comparable period of 2011. This decrease was due to the same factors described for the three-month period ended July 1, 2012.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our discussion below in this Item 3 is based upon the more detailed discussions of our market risk and related matters included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2012, under Item 7A of that Form 10-K. Our discussion here focuses on the period ended July 1,September 30, 2012, and any material changes from (or other important intervening developments since the time of) the information discussed in that Form 10-K. This discussion should be read in conjunction with that Form 10-K for more detailed and background information.

At July 1,September 30, 2012, we recognized a $4.9$4.5 million decreaseincrease in our foreign currency translation adjustment account compared to January 1, 2012, primarily because of the strengtheningweakening of the U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies, particularlyincluding the Euro.British Pound and the Australian dollar.

Sensitivity Analysis. For purposes of specific risk analysis, we use sensitivity analysis to measure the impact that market risk may have on the fair values of our market sensitive instruments.

To perform sensitivity analysis, we assess the risk of loss in fair values associated with the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates on market sensitive instruments. The market value of instruments affected by interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk is computed based on the present value of future cash flows as impacted by the changes in the rates attributable to the market risk being measured. The discount rates used for the present value computations were selected based on market interest and foreign currency exchange rates in effect at July 1,September 30, 2012. The values that result from these computations are compared with the market values of these financial instruments at July 1,September 30, 2012. The differences in this comparison are the hypothetical gains or losses associated with each type of risk.

As of July 1,September 30, 2012, based on a hypothetical immediate 150 basis point increase in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, the market value of our fixed rate long-term debt would be impacted by a net decrease of approximately $15.8$12.4 million. Conversely, a 150 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in a net increase in the market value of our fixed rate long-term debt of approximately $6.4$9.1 million.

As of July 1,September 30, 2012, a 10% decrease or increase in the levels of foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant, would result in a decrease in the fair value of our financial instruments of $8.4$9.2 million or an increase in the fair value of our financial instruments of $6.8$7.5 million, respectively. As the impact of offsetting changes in the fair market value of our net foreign investments is not included in the sensitivity model, these results are not indicative of our actual exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.
