                    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.  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
$3,481,000 and $3,716,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

The Company made total income tax payments of $2,858,000 and $2,850,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

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



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994 increased
17.9% and 15.5% from the prior year periods, respectively.  Comparable-store
sales (sales from stores in operation or expanded for a full year or more)
increased 12.0% and 11.6% for the same comparison periods, respectively.
Management attributes the higher level of sales to the success of ongoing
marketing programs which include interior remodeling and showroom expansion of
existing stores along with the upscaling of merchandise lines and offering of
wider product selections.  The Company believes these programs combined with
the fully accessorized room setting presentation and refined advertising
attracts a broader customer base.  By June 30, 1994 the Company had
incorporated the enhanced appearance and upscale interiors format in 47 stores 
and expanded the showroom floor in 20 of those stores.

Credit service charges declined 0.2% as a percentage of net sales for both the
quarter and six-month period as customer financing at lower promotional
interest rates increased slightly.  In absolute dollars credit service charges
increased 11.4% and 11.8%, respectively, for the quarter and the six-month
period.  Promotions involving free-interest and delayed payments are expected
to continue in the future at a pace similar to 1993.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased 0.5% for the quarter and
0.1% for the six-month period due in part to additional closeout sales to make
room for new inventory.  The increase in sales of well-known,
higher-price-point furniture lines, which typically yield slightly lower gross
margins, was also a factor.

Selling, general and administrative expenses declined 0.7% and 0.6% as a
percentage of net sales for the quarter and six-month period, respectively.  In
dollars, such expenses increased 16.0% and 13.9% for the same periods due
principally to higher personnel costs associated with strong sales growth.
Selling expenses and occupancy costs decreased as a percentage of net sales due
to a broader sales base and cost control practices.

Interest expense as a percentage of sales decreased 0.4% and 0.3% for the
quarter and six-month period, respectively.  In absolute dollars interest
expense was virtually unchanged for the quarter and increased 3.6% for the
six-month period.  During the quarter, the Company terminated three fixed-rate
interest swaps or caps primarily related to short-term floating-rate debt and
credited the gain to interest expense, allowing interest expense to remain flat
with last year's quarter.

Without considering this gain, the second quarter's effective interest rate was
29 basis points lower than last year's quarter and the six-month rate was the
same as last year's six-month period.  The average debt levels increased 20.0%
and 11.0% for the same periods, respectively.  The increased debt level in 1994
was incurred to fund higher inventory and accounts receivable, as well as the
remodeling and expansion programs.


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 a $4,045,000 use of cash in operating
activities in the first six months of 1994 as sales increases led to a $6.7
million increase in accounts receivable and an increase in inventories of $6.7
million in response to the greater demand.  Stronger earnings and higher
depreciation charges offset most of these increases.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (continued)


Non-interest-bearing receivables remained consistent with the prior year as a
percentage of total accounts receivable.  Inventory turnover was improved over
the first six months of 1993.  It was enhanced by further refinements 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 often filled from special orders.

Investing activities in the first six months of 1994 used $7.7 million of cash,
primarily for progress payments on planned capital expenditures.  Financing
activities provided $12.9 million during the six-month period, mostly from
short-term bank borrowings, net of other activity.

At June 30, 1994, the Company had arrangements with eight banks under 
line-of-credit agreements to borrow up to $99 million.  Of this amount, $44
million were committed lines ($14.2 million unused) and $55 million were
uncommitted lines ($44.5 million unused).  As of July 1, 1994, bank lines were
renewed with committed and total lines increased by $5.0 million.  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 is considering 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.
Long-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 presently balances its overall capital structure with approximately equal
amounts of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt.

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 current estimate of expenditures
over this two-year period is $50 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.
