NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
[UNAUDITED]
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
[A] Nature of Operations - Decor Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation [the
"Company" or "Decor"], was incorporated on March 1, 1996. The Company was
organized for the purpose of acquiring the Artisan House, Inc. ["Artisan"] which
was completed on November 18, 1996. Artisan is engaged in the business of
manufacturing, marketing, selling and distributing wall hanging sculptures. The
transaction was recorded under the purchase method. The Company is a subsidiary
of Interiors, Inc. ["Interiors"] [See Note 7].
[B] Cash Equivalents - The Company's policy is to classify all highly liquid
investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. There were $547,490 cash equivalents at December 31, 1996.
[C] Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, is comprised
of materials, labor and factory overhead, and is determined on the first-in,
first-out ["FIFO"] basis.
[D] Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost and is net
of accumulated depreciation. The cost of additions and improvements are
capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed in the
period incurred. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is
provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the respective assets as follows:
Vehicles 3 Years
Machinery and Equipment 5 - 10 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 7 Years
Leasehold improvements are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the
shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the useful life of the
improvement.
[E] Marketable Securities - The Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ["SFAS"] No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities," on March 3, 1996. SFAS No. 115 addresses the
accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily
determinable fair values and for all investments in debt securities. Those
investments are to be classified into the following three categories:
Held-to-maturity debt securities; trading securities; and available-for-sale
securities.
Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt
and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination
at each balance sheet date. Debt securities for which the Company does not have
the intent or ability to hold to maturity are classified as available for sale,
along with the Company's investment in equity securities. Securities available
for sale are carried at fair value, with any unrealized holding gains and
losses, net of tax, reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity
until realized. Trading securities are securities bought an held principally for
the purpose of selling them in the near term and are reported at fair value,
with unrealized gains and losses included in operations for the current year.
Held-to-maturity debt securities are reported at amortized cost.
[F] Goodwill - Amounts paid in excess of the estimated value of net assets
acquired of Artisan House, Inc. was charged to goodwill. Goodwill is related to
revenues the Company anticipates realizing in future years. The Company
amortizes its goodwill over a period of up to 10 years using the straight-line
method. The amount of amortization charged to operations for the period ended
December 31, 1996 was $17,720. The Company's policy is to evaluate the periods
of goodwill amortization to determine whether later events and circumstances
warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The Company also evaluates whether
the carrying value of goodwill has become impaired by comparing the carrying
value of goodwill to the value of projected undiscounted cash flows from
acquired assets or businesses. Impairment is recognized if the carrying value of
goodwill is less than the projected undiscounted cash flow from the acquired
assets or business.

[1] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]
[G] Other Intangible Assets - Other intangible assets include trademarks,
copyrights and artwork, customer lists, and covenants not-to-compete. These
costs are being amortized over a 15 year life using the straight-line method.
A summary is as follows:
Accumulated
Cost Amortization Net
Customer Lists $ 200,000 $ 1,556 $ 198,444
Covenants Not-to-Compete 100,000 778 99,222
Trademarks 150,000 1,167 148,833
Copyrights and Artworks 150,000 1,167 148,833
----------- ----------- -----------
Total $ 600,000 $ 4,668 $ 595,332
----- =========== =========== ===========
The amount of amortization charged to operations for the period ended December
31, 1996 was $4,668.
[H] Stock Options and Similar Equity Instruments Issued to Employees - The
Financial Accounting Standards Board ["FASB"] issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ["SFAS"] No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," in October 1995. SFAS No. 123 uses a fair value based method of
accounting for stock options and similar equity instruments as contrasted to the
intrinsic valued based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles
Board ["APB"] Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The
Company adopted SFAS No. 123 on April 1, 1996 for financial note disclosure
purposes and will continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 for financial reporting
purposes.
[I] Offering Costs - Such costs were recorded as a reduction of the net proceeds
of the offering.
[J] Earnings Per Share - The number of shares to be used for earnings per share
calculation purposes was based on a) the 3,937,500 common shares issued since
the initial capitalization and on the 4,500,000 common shares assumed issued
from the warrants in connection with the bridge loan, as if they were
outstanding since inception to June 30, 1996 [the last period in the IPO
Prospectus] and b) after the IPO: the 3,937,500 shares outstanding from July 1,
1996 through December 31, 1996 and the 1,035,000 shares issued in connection
with the initial public offering and the 150,000 shares issued in connection
with the acquisition of the Artisan House. Convertible preferred stock options
and warrants are not included because the effect would be anti-dilutive [See
Note 8].
[K] Risk Concentrations - Financial instruments that potentially subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash and accounts receivable
arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash with a
high credit quality financial institution and periodically has cash balances
subject to credit risk beyond insured amounts. At December 31, 1996, $357,489 of
cash exceeds insured amounts.
The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers, and
based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, has established
an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $72,387 and as a consequence,
believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond this allowance
is limited. The Company does not obtain collateral on its accounts receivable.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]
[L] Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
[M] Basis of Presentation - The accompanying interim financial statements are
unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of
Regulation S-B and Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include all information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles; however, in
the opinion of the management of the Company, the interim financial statements
include all adjustments which are necessary in order to make the interim
financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for any interim
period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes, thereto, contained in the Form SB-2 that was declared effective
November 12, 1996.
[2] Acquisition - Artisan House
On November 18, 1996, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Artisan House, Inc. for $3,694,826, of which a
total of $2,400,000 was paid in cash. A secured promissory note for $923,496 was
issued to the seller. The note provides for the payment to the seller of the
following: a) $100,000 within 90 days after the closing, b) beginning 120 days
after the closing, 60 equal monthly payments of $13,656 bearing an interest rate
of 8%, and c) a balloon payment of $150,000 concurrent with the 60th
installment. The required payments under (a) and (c) did not provide for
interest and were discounted at 8% giving rise to a discount of $53,933 which
will be amortized to interest expense. Separately, the seller was issued 50,000
shares of Decor common stock, valued at $300,000. The Company recorded
additional accrued costs of the acquisition of approximately $125,263, which
represents the excess fair value as presently estimated over the prescribed
contract amounts. This liability could be subject to further adjustment.
Goodwill and other intangibles totaling approximately $2,119,000 will be
amortized between 10 - 15 years using the straight-line method. Operations of
Artisan are included with the Company from November 19, 1996 onward. The assets
and liabilities of Artisan House, Inc. were combined with those of the Company
as of November 18, 1996.
The following unaudited pro forma combined results of operations accounts for
the acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.
The pro forma results give effect to amortization of goodwill and other
intangible assets, interest expense, employment contracts, consulting
agreements, and options issued.

interest at a rate that approximates the Company's cost of capital.
