Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 31, 2008, Chromcraft Revington, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing certain financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007, as well as certain restructuring activities. The press release is furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On March 25, 2008, the board of directors of the Company approved the discontinuation of manufacturing activities at the Company’s Delphi, Indiana plant. Manufacturing activities at the Delphi plant will conclude on May 30, 2008, and the plant will be converted into a warehouse and distribution facility. The Company plans to sell the manufacturing equipment and lay off approximately 150 associates at this location. The Company intends to source products manufactured at this site from suppliers located primarily in Asia.

This restructuring is in furtherance of the Company’s previously stated strategy of transitioning its U.S. based operations from domestic manufacturing to built-to-order customization and distribution activities. The purposes of this action are to improve the utilization of the global supply chain, enhance competitiveness, improve operating margins, reduce fixed costs and redeploy assets.

The Company expects to incur total restructuring costs and related asset impairment charges of approximately $1.5 million to $2.0 million pre-tax to write-down inventories as well as machinery and equipment used in the manufacturing process at the Delphi plant, to convert the plant into a warehouse and distribution facility and to record termination benefits for affected employees. Most of these charges are expected to be recorded in the first half of 2008. A portion of these charges for costs to transition the plant to a warehouse and distribution facility and for one-time termination benefits are expected to result in cash expenditures ranging from approximately $.6 million to $.8 million. These expenditures do not include cash proceeds from the sale of machinery and equipment which are anticipated to be between $.5 million to $.7 million. Certain general and administrative costs associated with the wind down of the Delphi manufacturing operations will be recorded as incurred.

The restructuring charges associated with the non-cash asset impairment of the machinery and equipment are expected to range from approximately $.3 million to $.4 million pre-tax. In addition, certain raw materials and work-in-process inventories will be written down to net realizable value, resulting in a non-cash inventory charge of approximately $.6 million to $.8 million pre-tax. In addition, termination benefits for employees are expected to range between approximately $.4 million to $.5 million pre-tax. Other costs to transition the plant to a warehouse and distribution center are expected to be approximately $.2 million to $.3 million pre-tax.

As the Company continues to adapt to the global furniture marketplace and execute its business transformation, additional restructuring charges, asset impairments, transition costs and/or increased operating expenses may be necessary in the future.
