      Allen Declares Cash Dividend and Comments on Financial Results</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 2010--Ethan Allen Interiors
      Inc. (&#8220;Ethan Allen&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) (NYSE:ETH) today declared a
      regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share which will be payable
      to shareholders of record as of October 11, 2010 and paid on October 25,
      2010.
    </p>
    <p>
      Farooq Kathwari, Chairman and CEO commented, &#8220;In the fiscal year ended
      June 30, 2010 our primary focus has been to make major structural
      changes to improve our operations and marketing capabilities for future
      growth and profitability. Our focus was also to maintain strong
      liquidity. Our total cash and investments at June 30, 2010 amounted to
      $102 million as compared to $53 million on June 30, 2009. We are pleased
      to continue our cash dividend to our shareholders. In addition we
      acquired $5.4 million worth of our stock in late June and July.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Mr. Kathwari continued, &#8220;While we plan to announce our earnings on
      August 5<sup>th</sup>, we are pleased to report net sales for the
      quarter ended June 30, 2010 were approximately $163 million, an increase
      of 18% from the same quarter last year. We expect our diluted earnings
      per share for our fourth fiscal quarter to be in the range of $0.30 to
      $0.32 compared to a loss per share of $0.23 in the previous year
      quarter, excluding restructuring, impairment, and related transition
      costs in both periods. The current quarter includes one-time benefits of
      approximately $0.16 per diluted share which if excluded would result in
      approximately $0.14 to $0.16 in earnings per diluted share. Not included
      in the results noted above, is the expected impact from a non-cash
      charge of approximately $36 million for a tax valuation reserve against
      the Company&#8217;s deferred tax assets.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Mr. Kathwari further stated, &#8220;Our written business (booked orders) of
      our retail division increased 23% compared to the prior year fourth
      quarter, continuing the strong trends that we have experienced in the
      last six months. While we are gratified with the results we remain
      cautious as there are still many uncertainties in the economic
      environment. We will discuss our initiatives in greater detail during
      our investor conference call on August 5 at 11:00 am EDT.&#8221;
