Note 3:    Subsequent Events
           On June 11, 1998, the Company obtained extensions of two loans from
           individuals originally due on that date. The loans were extended to
           August 1, 1998 and subsequently to August 4, 1998. On August 4, 1998,
           those loans were repaid in full.

           On July 31, 1998, the Company obtained a $1.5 million loan from an
           individual investor. The loan, which matures July 31, 2000, bears
           interest at 12% per annum, payable quarterly and is secured by
           substantially all of the Company's assets. In addition, the investor
           was granted warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company's
           common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.

           On August 4, 1998, the Company repaid its full outstanding balance on
           its bank line of credit of approximately $700,000.

           In connection with the above, short-term obligations amounting to
           $649,123 have been refinanced on a long-term basis. In accordance
           with SFAS No. 6, such debt has been reclassified as noncurrent in the
           accompanying financial statements.

Item 2.

          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                           and Results of Operations


Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 totaled $9,004,211 as compared
to $7,282,992 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $1,721,219
or 23.6%. Existing store revenue increased $1,078,898, or 14.8%, as compared to
June 30, 1997, while four new showrooms realized $642,321 in revenues during the
same period.

Cost of goods sold totaled $3,477,124 for the first six months of 1998 as
compared to $3,019,522 for the first six months of 1997. This increase of
$457,602 or 15.2% was primarily the result of the increase in revenues. However,
cost of goods sold decreased as a percentage of revenues from 41.5 % to 38.6%,
which was the result of additional production efficiencies gained through the
increased volume and by the use of new computerized machinery and equipment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $5,584,846 for the first
six months of 1998 as compared to $5,928,171 for the first six months of 1997.
The decrease of $343,325 or 5.8% was primarily the result of decreases in
advertising expense, professional fees and certain store operating costs.

Loss from operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 was $57,759,
or 0.6% of revenues as compared to a loss from operations of $1,664,701 during
the six-month period ended June 30, 1997.

Other expenses for the period ended June 30, 1998 were $5,880 as compared to
$14,414 for June 30, 1997. The net decrease in other expenses of $8,534 is
primarily due to an increase in net interest expense of $44,652 and a recovery
of store closing costs of $67,000. These changes result from the Company's
utilization of its cash reserves and increased use of its borrowing facility and
the sale of leasehold improvements at one of its locations.

For the first six months of 1998, the Company has recorded an income tax
provision of $5,600 compared to an income tax benefit of $746,966 in 1997.

Due to the combination of the preceding factors, the Company realized a net loss
of $69,239, or 0.8% of revenues during the six months ended June 30, 1998, as
compared to a net loss of $932,149, or 12.8% of revenues during the six months
ended June 30, 1997.


Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998, totaled $4,444,277 as
compared to $3,856,966 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of
$587,311 or 15.2%. There were no new showrooms opened during the three-month
period ended June 30, 1998.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was $1,789,650 or
40.3% of revenues as compared to $1,564,315 or 40.6% of revenues for the same
period in 1997. This increase of $225,335 or 14.4% is primarily due to costs
associated with the increase in revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $2,786,226 or 62.7% of
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $3,033,438 or
78.6% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease of
$247,212, or 8.1%, is primarily due to decreases in advertising expenses and
professional fees.

Loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $131,599, or
3.0% of revenues as compared to a loss from operations of $740,787, or 19.2%,
during the period ended June 30, 1997.

Other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $21,809 as
compared to $(21,578) in the three months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in
other expenses of $43,387 is primarily due to a recovery of store closing costs
of $67,000 and an increase of interest expense of $9,100. These changes result
from the Company's utilization of its cash reserves and increased use of its
borrowing facility and the sale of leasehold improvements at one of its
locations.

                           and Results of Operations
                                   (Continued)


For the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company has recorded an income tax
benefit of $8,400 compared to an income tax benefit of $312,725 in 1997.

Due to the combination of the preceding factors, the Company realized a net loss
of $101,390, or 2.3% of revenues, during the three months ended June 30, 1998,
as compared to a net loss of $449,640, or 11.7% of revenues, during the three
months ended June 30, 1997.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had a working capital surplus of $506,972 at June 30 1998, which
represented a net improvement of $822,333 from the working capital deficit of
$315,361 at December 31, 1997.

The Company's operating activities used cash of $236,031 and $2,025,386 for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. For the six months ended
June 30, 1998, cash was used primarily to finance inventory. In the six months
ended June 30, 1997, cash was used to finance inventory and selling expenses for
four new retail showrooms.

The Company's investing activities provided (used) cash of $118,120 and
$(920,626) for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
cash provided by the Company's investing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 results from funds received in connection with the closing of one
of the Company's retail showrooms. The cash used by the Company's investing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was primarily the result of
the purchase of computerized machinery and equipment, which improved operating
efficiency and lowered costs of manufacturing, and leasehold improvements for
four new showrooms. Also, certain executive officers repaid approximately
$38,000 of officers loans.

The Company's financing activities provided cash of $139,138 and $366,714 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The cash provided by
financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was the result of
utilization of the Company's line of credit and a loan from two private
investors. The cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 was the result of capital leases which the company used toward the
purchase of machinery and equipment.

The Company had substantially depleted its cash reserves at June 30, 1998. In
early-July 1998, the Company obtained an increase in its line of credit to
$700,000 and utilized the additional $200,000 available. On July 31, 1998, the
Company obtained a $1,500,000 loan from an individual investor. The Company
repaid the $700,000 outstanding under its line of credit and repaid the balance
due of $150,000 on two loans it negotiated in April 1998. The remaining
available funds coupled with significant improvements in operations should, in
management's opinion, provide sufficient capital to enable the Company to fund
its operations for at least the next twelve months.

Historically, demand for the Company's products has been seasonal, with demand
increasing in the third and fourth quarters, corresponding to the beginning of
the school year and the holiday season. The Company generally realizes 60% of
its annual revenues during those quarters.

The Company's operations have not been materially affected by the impact of
inflation.
