                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




NOTE A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include
all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  All share and per share amounts
in the financial statements have been adjusted for a 3-for-2 stock split
effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend, paid in June 1993.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature.




NOTE B - Interim LIFO Calculations

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the
end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.
Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on
management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Since
these are affected by factors beyond management's control, interim results are
subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.




NOTE C - Supplementary Cash Flow Information

The Company made total interest payments (including capitalized interest) of
$1,671,000 and $1,887,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

The Company made total income tax payments of $51,000 and $341,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the quarter increased 13.2% over the same period for 1993.
Comparable-store sales (sales from stores in operation or expanded for a full
year or more) increased 11.2% during this quarter.  Ongoing Company programs
contributing to the continuing sales gains include the interior remodeling and
showroom expansion of existing stores and the upscaling of merchandise lines
enhanced by the use of fully accessorized room settings.  Customer demand was
also influenced by the improved general economy.  The Company continues to
believe that its actions have attracted more middle- to upper-middle income
consumers who have purchased merchandise at relatively higher price points.  As
of March 31, 1994, 17 stores have received expanded showrooms and 44 stores
have the enhanced appearance and upscale interiors format.

Credit service charges were unchanged at 3.3% of net sales when compared to the
same year-earlier period since interest rates offered to customers on
installment debt remained unchanged.  Interest-free promotions have been used
selectively by the Company for major sales events consistent with the first
quarter of 1993.  In absolute dollars credit service charges increased 12.1%.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased by 0.4% primarily due to a
slightly lower LIFO provision of 0.5% of net sales as compared to 0.8% for the
first quarter of 1993.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 0.5% as a percentage of
net sales.  In absolute dollars the expenses increased 12.0%.  The decrease, as
a percentage of net sales, was primarily related to selling, occupancy and
collection expenses being spread over a broader sales base.  The Company's
focus on cost containment and better utilization of the corporate advertising
department to coordinate major sales events contributed to the improvement.

Interest expense increased 0.2% as a percentage of net sales, or 7.2% in
absolute dollars as a result of an increase in the Company's effective interest
rate by 49 basis points.  The effective interest rate reflected a higher
portion of fixed rate debt during 1994 due to the $30 million issuance of 7.16%
unsecured senior notes in December 1993 which replaced lower rate short-term
debt.



LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

Although the Company is a retail furniture store chain, it has certain
characteristics of a finance company as a result of carrying its own customer
accounts receivable.  There was an $861,000 use of cash in operating activities
in the first quarter of 1994 as sales increases led to a $3.3 million increase
in accounts receivable and inventories were increased $3.4 million in response
to the greater demand.  Stronger earnings and higher depreciation charges
offset most of these increases.

Slightly less use of free-interest and delayed-payment promotions led to a 1.7%
decrease in non-interest-bearing receivables as a percentage of total accounts
receivable.  Such promotions are expected to continue at a similar pace in the
near future.  Inventory turnover was improved over the first  quarter of 1993.
It was enhanced by further improvements to the Company's computerized inventory
management system, more reliance on the two regional distribution centers and
increases in sales of certain upscale merchandise which are filled from special
orders.

Investing activities used $3.4 million of cash, primarily for progress payments
on planned capital expenditures.  Financing activities provided $4.3 million
during the quarter, mostly from short-term bank lines, net of other activity.

The Company has arrangements with eight banks under line-of-credit agreements
to borrow up to $99 million.  At March 31, 1994, of this amount, $44 million
were committed lines ($26.9

                                  (continued)




million unused) and $55  million were uncommitted lines ($44.8 million unused).
Borrowings accrue interest at competitive money- market rates and all lines are
reviewed annually for renewal.  The Company has a revolving credit/term loan
agreement with a commercial bank providing for borrowings of $10 million
through 1997, at which time it converts to a term loan, maturing in 1999.  If
activated, this facility would replace  a $10 million short-term committed
line.  The Company's financial covenants under various loan agreements were
modified in late 1993 to allow for securitization of up to approximately 50% of
the outstanding balances of accounts receivable.  The Company plans to consider
a financing transaction of this type in 1994 or 1995, the proceeds of which
would reduce accounts receivable and improve cash flow from operating
activities.

In addition to cash flow from operations, the Company uses bank lines of credit
on an interim basis to finance capital expenditures and repay long-term debt.
Longer-term debt transactions such as private placements and mortgage financing
are used periodically to reduce short-term borrowings and manage interest rate
risk.  The Company pursues a diversified approach to its financing requirements
and balances its overall capital structure with a substantial amount of
fixed-rate or capped-rate debt (81% of total debt was interest-rate protected
at March 31, 1994).

Capital expenditures are presently expected to include, for the two-year period
of 1994 and 1995, the remodeling of 16 existing locations (with eight of those
also being expanded), the addition of eight new stores, the expansion of seven
stores which already have the new upscale format, and the construction of a new
regional warehouse in Florida.  Although the preliminary estimate of
expenditures over this two-year period is $40 million, this amount will be
reduced by any new properties which are financed off the balance sheet with
operating leases.  Funds available from operations, bank lines of credit and
other possible financing transactions are expected to be adequate to finance
the Company's planned expenditures.
