                          Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1:      BASIS OF PRESENTATION
             The accompanying unaudited financial statements, which are for
             interim periods, do not include all disclosures provided in the
             annual financial statements. These unaudited financial statements
             should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
             footnotes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
             the year ended December 31, 1997 of Room Plus, Inc. (the
             "Company"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

             In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying
             unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (which
             include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary in order to
             make the balance sheets, statements of operations and deficit and
             statements of cash flow not misleading.

             The results of operations for the three-month period ended March
             31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results
             to be expected for the full year.


Note 2:      INVENTORIES
             Inventories are stated at the lower of cost determined by the
             first-in, first-out method or market and consist of the following:

                                             March 31             December 31

                                    ------------   ------------  ------------

                                      ==========     ==========    ==========


Note 3:      SUBSEQUENT EVENT
             In April 1998, the Company obtained bridge loans totaling $200,000
             from certain unaffiliated individuals. The loans are due in June
             1998. In consideration for these loans, the Company issued the
             lenders options to acquire an aggregate 500,000 shares of the
             Company's common stock at $2.125 per share.


Note 4:      RESTATEMENT
             During the course of the preparation of the interim financial
             statements for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company
             determined that the method used to value its inventories at interim
             dates was in error. The effect of the correction of this error on
             the previously issued financial statements was to reduce the net
             income by $260,857, or $.06 per share, from $32,151 to a loss of
             $(228,706). This error was discovered by the Company's taking
             certain physical inventory counts as of September 30, 1998 and
             comparing the valuation of those inventories with the values
             computed using the methodology employed as of March 31, 1998 (and
             as of June 30, 1998). Management did not previously detect these
             errors since the results of operations, based on such methodology,
             were consistent with projected results.

             Management has since implemented a new data processing system that
             will more accurately account for inventory quantities and costs.
             The Company will employ cycle counts of its finished goods
             inventories and is conducting monthly physical counts of its raw
             material inventories to ensure a proper accounting. This new system
             will also provide the Company with more reliable data as to the
             sales product mix, which has a significant impact on gross profits.

Item 2.
           Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                           and Results of Operations


The Company is a fully-integrated manufacturer and retailer of mica-laminated
furniture for residential uses, primarily bedroom furniture targeted at children
ages three to 16 years old. The Company's products are of a modular design and
are intended to be multi-functional, interchangeable and space-saving.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $4,559,934 as
compared to 3,426,026 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, an increase of
$1,133,908, or 33.1%. The increase is attributable to existing store revenues
increasing $470,556, or 13.7%, as compared to March 31, 1997, while revenues of
new stores were $663,352 during the same period. The increase in existing store
revenues is the result of the maturation and stabilization of the Company's
sales personnel.

Cost of goods sold totaled $2,007,331 for the first three months of 1998 as
compared to $1,455,207 for the first three months of 1997, an increase of
$552,124, or 37.9%, which was primarily the result of the costs associated with
the increase in production. The cost of goods sold did increase as a percentage
of revenues from 42.5% to 44.0% principally due to a change in the product mix.

During the course of the preparation of the interim financial statements for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company determined that the method used to
value its inventories at interim dates was in error. This was discovered by the
Company's taking certain physical inventory counts as of September 30, 1998 and
comparing the valuation of those inventories with the values computed using the
methodology employed as of March 31, 1998 (and as of June 30, 1998). Management
did not previously detect these errors since the results of operations were in
accordance with projected results.

Management has since implemented a new data processing system that will more
accurately account for inventory quantities and costs. The Company will employ
cycle counts of its finished goods inventories and is conducting monthly
physical counts of its raw material inventories to ensure a proper accounting.
This new system will also provide the Company with more reliable data as to the
sales product mix, which has a significant impact on gross profits..

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $2,798,620, or 61.4% of
revenues, for the first three months of 1998 as compared to $2,894,733, or 84.5%
of revenues, for the first three months of 1997. The net decrease of $96,113, or
3.3%, was primarily the result of significant decreases in professional fees and
advertising expense partially offset by increases in commissions and delivery
costs.

Operating loss for the period ended March 31, 1998 was $246,017, or 5.4% of
revenues, as compared to an operating loss of $923,914, or 27.0% of revenues,
during the period ended March 31, 1997, an improvement of $677,897.

Other expenses for the period ended March 31, 1998 were $27,689 as compared to
income of $7,164 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease in
other income of $34,853 is primarily due to a decrease in interest income of
approximately $29,000 and an increase in interest expense of $8,000. These
changes result from the Company's utilization of its cash reserves and increased
use of its borrowing facility.

For the first three months of 1998, the Company recorded net deferred income tax
benefit of $45,000, as compared to a net deferred income tax benefit of $434,241
in the three months ended March 31, 1997.

Due to the combination of the preceding factors, the Company realized a net loss
of $228,706, or 5.0% of revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 1998
as compared to a net loss of $482,509, or 14.1% of revenues, during the three
months ended March 31, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had a working capital deficit of $560,013 at March 31, 1998, which
represented an increase in the working capital deficit of $244,652 from $315,361
at December 31, 1997. The increase in the working capital deficit was primarily
the result of increased debt.

The Company's operating activities used cash of $133,372 and $1,016,068 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. For the three months
ended March 31, 1998, cash was used primarily to fund inventory. In the three
months ended March 31, 1997, cash was used to primarily finance inventory and
selling expenses for six new retail showrooms.

The Company's investing activities used cash of $18,966 and $457,330 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The cash used by the
Company's investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was not
material. The cash used for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was primarily
the result of the purchase of computerized manufacturing machinery and
equipment.

The Company's financing activities provided (used) cash of $39,135 and
$(141,339) for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
was the result of further utilization of the Company's short-term line of credit
offset by the repayment of long-term debt. The cash used for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, was the result of the repayment of debt.

The Company had substantially depleted its cash reserves at March 31, 1998. The
Company obtained a $200,000 bridge loan in April 1998, which is due in June
1998. The Company has received several financing proposals and is currently
considering such proposals and other possible financing alternatives. While
there can be no assurances as to the ultimate availability or terms of such
additional financing, the Company believes that sufficient financing will be
available 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.
