    <p>
      DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 2, 2010--Ethan Allen Chairman and
      CEO, Farooq Kathwari, will present at the Raymond James Annual
      Institutional Investor Conference in Orlando, Florida on March 9, 2010.
      This presentation will be webcast and can be accessed via the Company
      website at ethanallen.com.
    </p>
    <p>
      In anticipation of questions about current business trends, Ethan Allen
      announced today that written sales (orders) for the two months ended
      February 28, 2010, have increased approximately 25% over prior year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Farooq Kathwari, Chairman and CEO commented, &#8220;We are pleased that our
      marketing programs that focus on projecting our value proposition of
      style, quality, and design services together with significant savings
      are driving traffic to our design centers. This increase in traffic is
      resulting in higher written orders than we have seen in some time. It is
      important to keep in mind that for the most part, orders taken in this
      period will be delivered and reported as sales in our fourth fiscal
      quarter ending June 30, 2010.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Mr. Kathwari continued, &#8220;As we discussed during the last quarterly
      analyst call, improvements in written orders is the first step toward
      improved delivered sales and profitability. We continue to work through
      the challenges of consolidating our manufacturing operations while
      converting our wooden product offerings to custom and more recently the
      significant ramping up of domestic production capacity.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Mr. Kathwari added, &#8220;We are very pleased with the recent significant
      increase in written sales, however macro economic conditions continue to
      be challenging. While optimistic about the potential financial results
      for our fourth fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2010, we remain cautious
      given the many operational challenges being managed.&#8221;
