                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    The unaudited Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of
LIFESTYLE FURNISHINGS INTERNATIONAL LTD. (the "Company") and its subsidiary
companies as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1997. Intercompany accounts and transactions are
eliminated. These Condensed Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in the
Company's report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. In
the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements, all dollar amounts are shown in
thousands unless otherwise stated.
 
    The financial information for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1996 refers to Masco Home Furnishings Group (the "Predecessor") as it existed
prior to its acquisition by the Company on August 5, 1996 (the "Acquisition").
The Predecessor was not a legal entity and included certain subsidiaries of
Masco Corporation ("Masco") whose operations consisted of the manufacture and
sale of home furnishings products including fine furniture and decorative home
furnishing fabrics. With respect to the unaudited financial information for the
interim periods of the Predecessor, it is the opinion of management that all
adjustments, which consist of normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of interim combined financial statements, have been included.
 
    As a result of the Acquisition and new basis of accounting resulting from
the application of the purchase method of accounting, the Company's financial
statements for the periods subsequent to the Acquisition are not comparable to
the Predecessor's financial statements for the periods prior to the Acquisition.
Operating results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.
 
2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
    Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 125 ("SFAS 125"), "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities." The adoption
of SFAS 125 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.
 
3. INVENTORY
 
    As of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, inventory balances were as
follows:

</TABLE>
 
    The Company has negotiated with its lenders a six year $400 million senior
secured revolving credit facility to replace the existing Revolving credit
facility, Tranche A term loan and Tranche B term loan. The new facility will
provide the Company with increased financial flexibility by eliminating
quarterly principal payments, reducing financing costs on the facility and
eliminating certain restrictive covenants.
 
    The Company expects to complete the refinancing on August 15, 1997, at which
time deferred financing costs related to the existing facility of approximately
$20 million will be written off as a non-cash extraordinary item.
 
5. GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    In connection with the issuance of its 10 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2006 (the "Notes"), the Company's domestic operating subsidiaries ("Guarantor
Subsidiaries") fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Company's performance
under the Notes on a joint and several basis. The Guarantor Subsidiaries are
direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The remaining
subsidiaries are direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
There are no restrictions under the Company's financing arrangements on the
ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to distribute funds to the Company in the
form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The following financial data provides
information regarding the financial position, results of operations and cash
flows of the Guarantor Subsidiaries (condensed consolidating/combining financial
data). Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the
Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that
such information would not be material to the holders of the Notes.
 
    For purposes of the condensed consolidating/combining financial data, the
Guarantor Subsidiaries include substantially all domestic subsidiaries of the
Company (other than special purpose subsidiaries formed in connection with the
Company's receivables financing facility (the "Receivables Subsidiaries") and
certain subsidiaries with substantially no assets or operations). The Guarantor
Subsidiaries account for their investments in the non-guarantor subsidiaries on
the equity method. The Company also accounts for its investments in the
Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Receivables Subsidiaries on the equity method.
The principal elimination entries are to eliminate the investments in
subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

    The primary adjustments applied to the historical predecessor financial
statements to arrive at the pro forma presentation include the following:
 
a)  Adjustment to reflect elimination of goodwill amortization of approximately
    $14.2 million on an annualized basis.
 
b)  Adjustment of approximately $15.9 million on an annual basis to reflect
    decreased depreciation for write-down of property and equipment from the
    allocation of the estimated fair value of the net assets.
 
c)  Adjustment to reflect the reduction of interest expense due to the
    elimination of interest expense on Masco net advances offset by the impact
    of interest expense on the financing arrangements incurred at the
    acquisition.
 
d)  Adjustment to eliminate the operating results of businesses acquired by
    FURNISHINGS INTERNATIONAL INC. from Masco but not contributed to the
    Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    For purposes of the discussions that follow, the results of operations for
the six months and three months ended June 30, 1996 represent the results of the
Predecessor.
 
     COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 TO THE THREE MONTHS
                              ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
 
    Net sales were $479.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, a
decrease of $10.7 million, or 2.2%, from $490.1 million for the comparable
period of 1996. Net sales of fine furniture decreased 3.5% to $411.4 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $426.5 million for the comparable
period of 1996. Fine furniture sales were negatively impacted by the Company's
strategy of exiting less profitable product lines and relatively soft major
retailer sales. Net sales of decorative home furnishing fabrics increased 6.9%
to $68.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $63.6 million for
the comparable period of 1996.
 
    Gross profit was $126.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, an
increase of $8.9 million, or 7.6%, from $117.3 million for the Predecessor's
comparable period of 1996. Gross profit margins increased to 26.3% for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 from 23.9% for the comparable period of 1996. This
increase was primarily attributable to the Company's continuous improvement
initiatives and the benefit of reduced depreciation expense which resulted from
the allocation of the purchase price of the Acquisition.
 
    Selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced to $86.2 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1997, a decrease of $7.6 million, or 8.1%,
from $93.8 million for the comparable period of 1996. As a percentage of net
sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 18.0% for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 from 19.1% for the comparable period of 1996.
Selling expense was 11.4% of net sales as compared to 11.3% for 1996, and
general and administrative expenses decreased to 6.6% of net sales from 7.8% in
1996. The decrease in general and administrative expenses reflects the benefits
of the Company's cost reduction initiatives, elimination of goodwill
amortization, and the net decrease in general and administrative expenses which
the Company has incurred on a stand-alone basis compared to the management fees
previously charged by Masco.
 
    Operating profit increased to $40.0 million for the three months ended June
30, 1997, an increase of $16.5 million, or 70.2%, from $23.5 million for the
comparable period of 1996. As a percentage of net sales, operating profit
increased to 8.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from 4.8% for the
comparable period of 1996. This improvement was achieved primarily for the
reasons discussed above.
 
    Interest expense was $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
a decrease of $11.2 million, or 50.2%, from the comparable period of 1996. This
decrease was a result of lower average debt outstanding during the three months
ended June 30, 1997 when compared to the Predecessor's advances from Masco
outstanding during the comparable period of 1996. The reduced interest expense
from the lower level of debt after the Acquisition combined with approximately
$128 million of principal repayments made since August 5, 1996 were partially
offset by higher average borrowing rates.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
       COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 TO THE SIX MONTHS
                              ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
 
    Net sales were $969.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, a
decrease of $11.5 million, or 1.2%, from $981.1 million for the comparable
period of 1996. Net sales of fine furniture decreased 1.6% to $834.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $848.0 million for the comparable period
of 1996. Fine furniture sales were negatively impacted by the Company's strategy
of exiting less profitable product lines and relatively soft major retailer
sales. Net sales of decorative home furnishing fabrics increased 1.6% to $135.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $133.1 million for the
comparable period of 1996.
 
    Gross profit was $251.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an
increase of $12.7 million, or 5.3%, from $239.2 million for the Predecessor's
comparable period of 1996. Gross profit margins increased to 26.0% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 from 24.4% for the comparable period of 1996. This
increase was primarily attributable to the Company's continuous improvement
initiatives and the benefit of reduced depreciation expense which resulted from
the allocation of the purchase price of the Acquisition.
 
    Selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced to $172.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997, a decrease of $16.5 million, or 8.7%,
from $189.1 million for the comparable period of 1996. As a percentage of net
sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 17.8% for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 from 19.3% for the comparable period of 1996.
Selling expense was 11.1% of net sales as compared to 11.3% for 1996, and
general and administrative expenses decreased to 6.7% of net sales from 8.0% in
1996. The decrease in general and administrative expenses reflects the benefits
of the Company's cost reduction initiatives, elimination of goodwill
amortization, and the net decrease in general and administrative expenses which
the Company has incurred on a stand-alone basis compared to the management fees
previously charged by Masco.
 
    Operating profit increased to $79.3 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997, an increase of $29.3 million, or 58.6%, from $50.0 million for the
comparable period of 1996. As a percentage of net sales, operating profit
increased to 8.2% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 5.1% for the
comparable period of 1996. This improvement was achieved primarily for the
reasons discussed above.
 
    Interest expense was $22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, a
decrease of $22.2 million, or 50.0%, from the comparable period of 1996. This
decrease was a result of lower average debt outstanding during the six months
ended June 30, 1997 when compared to the Predecessor's advances from Masco
outstanding during the comparable period of 1996. The reduced interest expense
from the lower level of debt after the Acquisition combined with approximately
$128 million of principal repayments made since August 5, 1996 were partially

    (a) The Note to Financial Statements captioned "Pro Forma Supplementary
Data" as set forth in Note 6 of the accompanying financial statements of this
report should be read in conjunction with this information.
 
    For purposes of the discussion that follows, the results of the six months
ended June 30, 1997 are compared with the pro forma results of the six months
ended June 30, 1996 (giving effect to the Acquisition transactions as if they
had occurred on January 1, 1996). On a pro forma basis, the Company's operating
income increased from $65.5 million to $79.3 million, an increase of 21.1%, and
net income increased from $18.7 million to $33.0 million, an increase of 76.5%.
Results benefited from initiatives to trim less profitable product lines and
reduce manufacturing expense, as well as lowering selling, general and
administrative costs, combined with lower interest expense.
 
                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    The Company's liquidity needs arise primarily from debt service on the
indebtedness incurred in connection with the Acquisition, working capital needs
and the funding of capital expenditures. The Company's principal source of cash
to fund its liquidity needs is its net cash from operating activities and
availability of borrowings under its Revolving credit facility. Net cash from
operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $44.7 million, a
decrease of $0.7 million from $45.4 million in the comparable period of 1996.
 
    The Company made principal payments on its long-term debt of $20.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Transactions under the Receivables
Facility resulted in net repayments of $7.0 million and an increased investment
in the receivables trust of $2.9 million. Capital expenditures totaled $17.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
 
    The Company has negotiated with its lenders a six year $400 million senior
secured revolving credit facility to replace the existing Revolving credit
facility, Tranche A term loan and Tranche B term loan. The new facility will
provide the Company with increased financial flexibility by eliminating
quarterly principal payments, reducing financing costs on the facility, and
eliminating certain restrictive covenants.
 
    The Company expects to complete the refinancing on August 15, 1997, at which
time deferred financing costs related to the existing facility of approximately
$20 million will be written off as a non-cash extraordinary item.

                                       RECITALS

         WHEREAS, the Company, Masco, 399 and the Management Stockholders are
parties to the Stockholders' Agreement dated as of August 5, 1996 by and among
the Company and its stockholders (as previously amended, the "Agreement");
                                                              ---------
(capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the
Agreement);

         WHEREAS, 399 has the right, as the holder of HFG Common Stock
representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the HFG Common Stock on a
Fully-Diluted Basis then held by the Institutional Stockholders as a group,
pursuant to Section 7.4(a)(i) of the Agreement to take action on behalf of the
Institutional Stockholders; 

         WHEREAS, the Trustee has the right pursuant to Section 7.4(a)(iii) of
the Agreement to take action on behalf of the Management Stockholders; and

         WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Agreement in order to
effect certain changes in the definition of "Permitted Transferee" and in the
weighted voting of the directors of the Company.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

         SECTION 1.  AMENDMENTS

         1.1  DEFINITION OF PERMITTED TRANSFEREE.  Clause (i) of the definition
of "Permitted Transferee" is hereby amended and restated in its entirety so that
it reads as follows (with retroactive effect as necessary in order to
accommodate any previous transfers):
         
              "(i) with respect to any Stockholder who is a natural
         person, (A) the spouse or any lineal descendant (including
         by adoption and stepchildren) of such Stockholder, (B) any
         trust of which such Stockholder is the trustee (or any trust
         of which such Stockholder is not the trustee, or is not the
         only trustee, provided that each trustee other than the
         Stockholder has executed a Joinder Agreement, and provided,
         in the case of a Management Stockholder 

                                   

<PAGE>

                                                        THIRD AMENDMENT

         or an Additional Management Stockholder, that the Stockholder does 
         not transfer more than his or her beneficial interest in the
         Voting Trust with respect to any HFG Common Stock or Equity
         Equivalents that he or she wishes to transfer), so long as
         such trust is established solely for the benefit of one or
         more of the Stockholder and the other individuals specified
         in clause (A) above and has terms which are not inconsistent
         with the terms of this Agreement, (C) any partnership, all
         of the general partner(s) and limited partner(s) (if any) of
         which are one or more of the Stockholder and the other
         individuals specified in clause (A) above, or (D) any other
         trust or partnership established by any such Stockholder to
         the extent approved in writing by the Company (acting with
         an Affirmative Board Vote, including the consent of the
         Masco Director); provided, however, that the Chairman of the
         Company may permit any manager to give a specified number of
         shares of HFG Common Stock to his or her parents, to his or
         her spouse's parents, or to any thereof, so long as the
         total number of shares of HFG Common Stock transferred by
         all such managers pursuant to this proviso does not exceed
         1,000 shares in the aggregate (with appropriate adjustments
         for stock splits, stock dividends, and stock combinations)."

         1.2  WEIGHTED BOARD VOTING.  Section 5.4(a)(iii) of the Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety so that it reads as follows:

              "(iii)    each of the Institutional Directors will have
         a weighted vote of 12.25%, except that if and so long as
         both Richard M. Cashin, Jr. and David F. Thomas are
         Institutional Directors, their weighted votes will be
         increased to 22.25% each, with a corresponding reduction in
         the weighted votes of the other Institutional Directors to
         2.25% each; provided, however, that, in the event there are
                     --------  -------
         more than 50 stockholders of the Company, such weighting
         shall, upon notice to the Company from the Institutional
         Stockholders, be shifted to 4.75% for each of the
         Institutional Directors, with a corresponding shift in the
         weighting of each of the Disinterested Director's weighted
         vote from 3.75% to 11.25% (and thereafter the Institutional
         Stockholders shall have the right upon notice to the Company
         to increase the weighting back to its original position)."

         SECTION 2.  MISCELLANEOUS

         2.1  FURTHER ACTIONS.  Each of the parties hereto shall cooperate and
shall take further action and shall execute and deliver such further documents
as may be reasonably requested by any other party in order to carry out the
amendments set forth herein.

                                                             THIRD AMENDMENT

         2.2  GOVERNING LAW.  This Amendment shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any
choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York,
except to the extent that the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
applies as a result of the Company being incorporated in the State of Delaware,
in which case such General Corporation Law shall apply.

         2.3  HEADINGS.  The headings used in this Amendment  have been
inserted for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the
provisions hereof.

         2.4  COUNTERPARTS.  This Amendment  may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which
together will constitute one and the same instrument.

         2.5  CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL.  The provisions of Sections 7.18 and 7.19 of the Agreement shall apply to
this Amendment as if repeated herein.
