                                     PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

GENERAL

    Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (the "Company") operates 90 full service
retail furniture stores located in 11 contiguous states in the Southeast and
Southwest and is one of the largest specialty furniture retailers in the United
States.  The Company sells a broad range of household furniture and
accessories, including living room, bedroom and dining room furniture, bedding,
lamps and occasional furniture.  The Company purchases merchandise from a large
number of manufacturers, but considers its most popular lines to include
Broyhill, Clayton Marcus, Franklin, Landmark, Lane/Action, Massoud, Michael
Howard, Riverside, Sealy, Southern, Thomasville, Thornwood and Universal.  As
an added convenience to its customers, the Company offers financing through a
revolving charge credit plan.  In 1994 the Company provided customer financing
for approximately 80% of its sales.  This compares to 78% in 1993.

    Management believes that its remodeling and upscaling programs, its
addition of the Thomasville line and an improving economy have enabled the
Company to increase sales to its targeted customer base and to attract
additional customers from higher income levels.  Sales productivity increased
from an average of $133 per square foot of selling area in 1992 to
approximately $148 per square foot in 1993 and $160 in 1994.  Comparable-store
sales increased 10.0% in 1994, including a 7.5% increase during the fourth
quarter.  The Company generated net income of $12.5 million in 1994 as compared
to $9.7 million in 1993.

    The Company is the successor to a family furniture business established in
1885 in Atlanta, Georgia.  The Company was incorporated in 1929 under the laws
of the State of Maryland.  Its principal business address is 866 West Peachtree
Street, N.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30308-1123 and its telephone number is (404)
881-1911.


BUSINESS STRATEGY

    The Company's strategy is to sell quality furniture to the middle to
upper-middle income consumer, with an emphasis on personalized customer
service, and to conveniently locate stores on prime retail sites in major
suburban shopping areas.  The Company believes that its fundamental strengths
include its location in the growing southern region, its clearly focused
merchandising strategy, its long-term favorable relationships with its
principal suppliers, its sound financial position and its experienced
management.  During the past three years, the Company has remodeled and
expanded many of its showrooms to incorporate a new upscale interiors
presentation, including full-scale room settings, professionally designed and
fully accessorized to portray how the furniture will look in the home.  The
Company has also upgraded its merchandise line, adding moderately higher priced
items from its leading suppliers as well as adding the well-known Thomasville
line in 1992 and the Drexel Heritage line in 1994.  The key elements of the
Company's strategy are:

    Location and Merchandise Assortment.  The Company locates its stores in
prime retail sites in suburban areas, most near regional malls or major
shopping districts, to better serve its middle and upper-middle income targeted
customer.  Each store handles a full line of furniture in popular styles at
competitive prices within the area served.  In addition, the Company tailors a
portion of its merchandise selections for each store and from city to city,
depending on the demand for various styles and price categories of merchandise
in store locations and the physical layout of each individual store.  In
addition to offering regular lines, several suppliers provide a variety of
special items exclusively for the Company which carry well known brand names.
These additional furniture items provide the Company with an enhanced
assortment of merchandise and, by deterring aggressive consumer comparison
shopping, help the Company maintain consistent margins.

    Customer Service.  The Company's commitment to high-quality full service
extends from the purchase at the showroom to the prompt delivery and set up in
the customer's home.  The Company guarantees customer satisfaction.  The
Company maintains a management training program and a training program for
employees to ensure that all employees are equipped to deliver the Company's
high standard of customer service.  These training





                                       1
<PAGE>   3

programs cover all areas of operation, including sales, warehousing,
merchandising, personnel, credit and collection.  As a convenience to its
customers, the Company offers customer financing through a revolving charge
credit plan.

    Expansion and Remodeling.  The Company's strategy has called for the
remodeling of a significant number of its existing showrooms to reflect an
upscale interiors presentation, including full-scale room settings,
professionally designed and fully accessorized to portray how the furniture
will look in the home.  A number of these upscale showrooms are also being
expanded to broaden the merchandise assortment.

    Premium Product Lines.  The Company established a relationship with
Thomasville in 1992, as a result of which approximately half of the Company's
showrooms at the end of 1994 featured displays of Thomasville furniture.  The
Drexel Heritage line, another well-known, upscale product offering, was added
to some of the Company's stores in 1994.  The Company believes that
introduction of these higher priced lines increases the attractiveness of the
Company's stores to upper-middle income customers.  Since the introduction of
these lines, the Company's customers have tended to purchase not only products
from these two companies, but also the higher price point merchandise from
other suppliers, thereby contributing to the success of the Company's strategy
by generally increasing the amount of its average sale.  Within those
metropolitan market areas in which the Company is an authorized Thomasville
retailer, the Company often has exclusive distribution of this line.  The
Company currently has "Premium Merchandise" gallery displays featuring higher-
end furnishings (generally 5,000 to 8,000 square feet of selling area) in 28
stores.  The Company also has opened two new small stores dedicated entirely to
the higher-end lines and converted three other smaller stores to this format.

    Cost Containment.  The Company's business philosophy has always emphasized
cost containment.  Executive and store level management of the Company
continually review expenses to realize cost reductions when appropriate.
Management of the Company believes that its attention to the expense side of
its operations has enabled it to maintain financial stability and profitability
even in recessionary environments.

</TABLE>

    The Company tailors a portion of its merchandising selections for each
store and from city to city, depending in part on the demand for various styles
and price categories of merchandise in store locations and the physical layout
of each individual store.  In general, the Company's stores feature a full line
of furniture in popular styles, with an emphasis on providing the customer
fashion, function and comfort at competitive prices.

    During the past three years, the Company has upgraded its merchandise line
in all stores, adding moderately higher priced items from its main suppliers as
well as adding the well-known Thomasville line in approximately half of its
stores.  The Company purchases merchandise from a large number of
manufacturers, but considers its most popular lines to include Broyhill,
Clayton Marcus, Franklin, Landmark, Lane/Action, Massoud, Michael Howard,
Riverside, Sealy, Southern, Thomasville, Thornwood and Universal.  The
Company's targeted customer





                                       2
<PAGE>   4

base is the middle to upper-middle income consumer.  The Company monitors
demographic and style preference trends in the markets it serves and changes
its product mix in response to those trends.

    The Company purchases its merchandise principally from manufacturers that
offer their products on a nationwide basis as well as from a smaller number of
regional suppliers.  During 1994, approximately 75% of the dollar value of the
Company's purchases were made from 30 suppliers.  No one supplier accounted for
more than  10% of the dollar volume of merchandise purchased by the Company in
1994.  The Company has experienced no difficulty in obtaining satisfactory
sources of supply and believes that adequate sources of supply exist for the
types of merchandise sold in its stores.  The Company has no long-term
contracts for the purchase of merchandise.


ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION

    The Company uses multimedia advertising and promotions to stimulate sales.
The Company's advertising programs are coordinated to deliver a consistent
message that the Company's stores are attuned to their customers' preferences
and, accordingly, stock items which are attractive to those customers.  For
1994, the Company's expenditures for advertising and promotions were
approximately 7.4% of net sales.  The Company advertises in newspapers in
nearly every market in which its stores are located and also uses television,
radio and direct mail.  Within a budget and guidelines established at Company
headquarters, each metropolitan market manager determines the style and content
of the area's advertising and promotional program, emphasizing merchandise
expected to sell in that geographic region.  Newspaper layouts, television
spots, radio scripts and in-store display materials are placed at the store
level with design and creative assistance from corporate headquarters.

    The Company conducts over 12 Company-wide promotions each year, and the
stores periodically conduct additional promotional events.  Promotions include
high-impact, short duration events, such as holiday sales, general merchandise
promotional periods or theme promotions, and product-specific promotions.  The
Company also advertises its credit availability and special interest and
payment terms promotions.  During 1994 the Company distributed over 50 million
full-color newspaper inserts and direct mail circulars.  The Company uses
direct mail primarily as a tool to maintain contact with existing customers and
to encourage additional purchases.


STORE OPERATIONS

    General.  From the Company's headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, management
directs and coordinates purchasing and merchandising, advertising, personnel
training, information systems, financial planning and controls, site selection
and opening of new stores.  The Company's stores are organized in four
geographic regions, each supervised by a regional manager who is primarily
responsible for coordinating merchandising plans and store operations.  Within
guidelines provided by headquarters, each metropolitan market manager has
responsibility for personnel, purchasing, merchandising, marketing, credit and
store operations.  In cities with multiple retail stores, the Company generally
operates those stores as a single profit center with one manager for the city
and individual managers in each branch store.  Normal hours of store operation
(in most locations) are 10:00 a.m.  to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m.  Saturday, and 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Sunday.

    The Company believes that locating its stores in prime retail sites in
suburban areas, preferably near regional malls or major shopping districts, is
an important element of its competitive strategy and allows the Company to gain
access to its targeted customer.  The Company's showrooms average approximately
26,000 square feet and range in size from approximately 13,000 to 71,000 square
feet, with warehouse locations ranging in size from approximately 10,000 to
276,000 square feet.  The Company maintains a total of 90 stores, 30 of which
have attached warehouses.  The Company also has 19 separate local warehouses,
three regional distribution centers and two administrative offices.  The
Company has four properties for future development and eight additional
facilities leased or subleased.  Of these 126 facilities, 78 are leased with
various termination dates through 2010 plus renewal options.  The remaining 48
properties are owned by the Company.

    Distribution.  The Company maintains furniture warehouses in each
metropolitan market in which it operates.  If more than one retail store is
located in a single market area, those stores are served from one central
warehouse.  In addition, the Company maintains regional distribution centers in
Charlotte, North Carolina (124,000 square feet)





                                       3
<PAGE>   5

Jackson, Mississippi (180,000 square feet) and since December 1994, Ocala,
Florida (139,000 square feet).  The distribution centers allow the Company to
purchase merchandise in larger order quantities, to consolidate freight and to
facilitate prompt delivery of popular items to its retail stores, thereby
lowering costs.  Management believes that service levels can be maintained or
improved by greater reliance on the flow of merchandise through these regional
centers, while allowing for less inventory investment in local market
warehouses.

    The Company maintains inventories sufficient to permit prompt delivery of
all items displayed for sale.  With the exception of the Atlanta, Georgia
operation, which uses a contract delivery service, the Company operates a fleet
of trucks for local delivery of merchandise to its customers and for most
deliveries from regional distribution centers to the Company's stores and
warehouses.

    Management Information System.  The Company uses computer information
systems to provide Company-wide customer accounts receivable as well as
accounting and payroll functions.  The Company has developed a proprietary
inventory management and operations system which provides automated processing
of purchasing, sales orders, billing and customer delivery information.  During
1994, on-line credit approval functions were added which allow for faster, more
consistent response to customer applications, based on specific data accessed
through credit bureaus and a customized score for credit worthiness.  This
system is currently installed in 38 stores in major  markets and all three
regional warehouses representing more than half of total merchandise
inventories.  The Company believes that this system enhances inventory
management and control as well as overall customer service and plans to
continue the implementation to most of its remaining stores in 1995 and 1996.

    Training.  The Company has an extensive in-house training program to train
new employees in the Company's operations and to keep current employees
informed of changes in Company policy and operational procedures.  The Company
also maintains a management training program coordinated by the Company's
headquarters, pursuant to which management trainees are rotated through a
number of store management positions.  The Company's training program for
employees covers all aspects of the Company's operations, including sales,
warehousing, merchandising, personnel, credit and collection.  The training
program utilizes detailed store manuals, videotaped training films and classes
for employees.  Management believes that the Company's on-going education
program is a significant factor in the Company's ability to develop personnel
capable of managing and operating its stores and maintaining a high level of
customer service.


CREDIT SALES OPERATIONS

    The Company's customers are provided with a revolving charge credit plan in
a credit amount determined by a local credit sales manager.  In 1994 and 1993,
credit sales constituted 80% and 78%, respectively, of the Company's net sales.
The Company's standard (non-promotional) credit service charge rate for
purchases during most of 1994 was 14.9% per annum (except in Arkansas where it
is lower due to state laws) and may vary in the future with market conditions.
The Company offers a lower credit service charge rate for individual purchases
of over $3,000 and periodically promotes free-interest for specified periods up
to one year.

    Over the last five years, provisions for losses on customer accounts
receivable have averaged less than 1% of sales.  Management believes this
relatively low rate, as compared to those of certain other furniture retailers,
is due to a thorough credit screening and collection program and to the Company
attracting a more affluent customer through its credit programs.  Promotions
which offer free-interest for a specified period have been successful both in
attracting customers and stimulating sales.


CUSTOMER SERVICE

    The Company believes that personalized customer service and experienced
personnel are important elements in the success of the Company's retail
furniture business, and the Company continually seeks to improve the quality of
customer service and its reputation with suppliers and customers.  The Company
trains its sales personnel to understand and assist customers with their
individual furnishing and decorating needs and also emphasizes prompt and
careful delivery of merchandise.





                                       4
<PAGE>   6

    The Company solicits comments from its customers by leaving with each
customer at the time of delivery a form to be completed and returned to the
Company reporting the customer's level of satisfaction with the delivery and
set up of the furniture.


EXPANSION

    Remodeling and Expansion of Existing Stores.  For the past four years, the
Company has focused on remodeling, upgrading and expanding the total square
footage of selling area in many of its existing showrooms.  At December 31,
1994, a total of 40 existing showrooms had been remodeled, including 24
showrooms which were expanded to increase square footage of selling area.  The
refurbishing of existing showrooms includes improved lighting, wider aisles for
easy access to each department, and full-scale room settings, professionally
designed and fully accessorized to portray how the furniture will look in the
home.  The Company believes that its customers are responding very favorably to
the attractive presentation of merchandise made possible through better
defined, coordinated groupings of furniture and accessories.  Tentative plans
for 1995 and 1996 combined call for the remodeling and expansion of
approximately 10 additional existing showrooms.  In addition, two showrooms
which have recently been remodeled will be expanded in 1995.

    Premium Product Lines.  During May of 1992, the Company established a
relationship with Thomasville Furniture Industries, Inc., a division of
Armstrong World Industries.  At the end of 1994, more than half of the  Company
showrooms featured displays of Thomasville furniture.  The Company believes
that introduction of the higher priced lines increases the attractiveness of
the Company's stores to upper-middle income customers.

    During 1994, the Company became a national account with Thomasville which
allows for greater flexibility in offering the product line in different
metropolitan market areas.  The high-end line of Drexel Heritage was also added
during 1994 and the Company was also given national account status.

    New Stores.  The Company has identified approximately 20 additional market
area opportunities for one or multiple new stores within its present 11-state
territory.  New stores in these areas would benefit from the Company's existing
name recognition and opportunities for freight consolidation.  Tentative plans
for 1995 and 1996 combined call for the opening of 13 new stores.  Seven of
these stores will be in six new cities for Havertys with one of these markets
in a new state.


EMPLOYEES

    As of December 31, 1994, the Company employed approximately 2,590
employees, 2,399 in individual retail store operations, 112 in general

employee relations to be good.


COMPETITION

    Although the degree of competition varies with geographic area, the retail
sale of home furnishings is a highly fragmented and competitive business.  The
Company competes with numerous individual retail furniture stores as well as
chains.  The Company currently ranks among the top ten in sales for full
service retail home furnishings store chains in the United States, based on
available industry data for 1993.  The Company also competes with other
specialty retail sellers of home furnishings, especially the better department
stores.  Department stores benefit competitively from more established name
recognition in specific markets, a larger customer base due to their department
store product lines and proprietary credit cards.  The Company believes that
the effect of these competitive factors are offset by the Company's clearly
focused market position and its commitment to customer service.

    The Company believes that the primary elements of competition in its
industry are customer service, merchandise quality, style, selection, display,
price and store location and design.  The Company feels that its





                                       5

success to date is attributable in part to its abilities to focus an aggressive
well-defined merchandising and advertising effort on the middle and
upper-middle income customer, to make prompt delivery of orders through
maintenance of inventory and to tailor the inventory maintained at its stores
to local demands.  In addition, the Company believes that its buying power
gives it a competitive advantage with respect to the price and value of its
product offerings.  The Company emphasizes credit services tailored to its
product offerings and the specific needs of its target customers.  By financing
its own customer accounts, the Company believes that it provides a significant
service to its customer which also enables the Company to maintain contact with
the customer over the term of the account.  The Company regards its experienced
sales personnel and personalized customer service as important factors in its
competitive success.  Lastly, the Company believes it has uniquely positioned
itself in the marketplace with merchandise that appeals to customers somewhat
more affluent than most other competitive furniture chain stores.  This serves
as somewhat of a buffer to normal competitive pressures and provides the
opportunity for more consistent margins across the product line.

   Attention:  Mr. Dennis L. Fink
           Chief Financial Officer

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    This letter is to amend the Note Agreement between Haverty Furniture
Companies (the "Company") and The Prudential Insurance Company of America
("Prudential"), dated December 29, 1993, as previously amended, (the "Note
Agreement").  Capitalized terms used herein without definitions have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Note Agreement.

    Pursuant to paragraph 12C of the Note Agreement, Prudential and the Company
hereby agree that, effective as of March 31, 1994, the definitions of
"Operating Lease Rentals" and "Retained Receivables Amount" set forth in
paragraph 11B of the Note Agreement are hereby amended and restated as follows:

         "Operating Lease Rentals" shall mean, as at the date of determination,
    all fixed rents or charges (including as such all payments which the lessee
    is obligated to  make on termination of the lease or surrender of the
    property) payable by the Company and its Subsidiaries (as lessee,
    sublessee, license, franchisee or the like) under all leases, licenses, or
    other agreements for the use or possession of real or personal property,
    tangible or intangible (except Capitalized Lease Obligations) having a term
    of more than one year (whether as an initial term or any extension or
    renewal thereof and including options to renew or extend any term, whether
    or not exercised), during the last four consecutive fiscal quarters, all as
    determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

         "Retained Receivables Amount" shall mean, at any date of
    determination, the aggregate amount of all outstanding customer accounts
    and notes receivable, including installment contracts, of the Company and
    all Subsidiaries which under generally accepted account principles are      
    shown on the balance sheet as an asset, less (without duplication):

         (i) the greater of (a) or (b), where:

                 (a)  is the amount of payments on such outstanding customer
         accounts and notes receivable which are 61 days or more past due, and

                 (b)  is an adequate reserve, or allowance for doubtful
         accounts, as determined in accordance with generally accepted
         principles, pertaining to the aggregate amount of all such outstanding
         customer accounts and notes receivable, and

         (ii)    the amount of such outstanding customer accounts and notes
         receivables sold, pledged, contributed or subject to a Lien in
         connection with any Receivables Financing.

                       HAVERTY FURNITURE COMPANIES, INC.

                       HAVERTY FURNITURE COMPANIES, INC.
                          EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

                            As Amended and Restated
                                February 7, 1995


1.       Purpose.  The purpose of the Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc.
         Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is to encourage and enable
         eligible employees of Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (the
         "Company") and any of its subsidiaries to acquire proprietary
         interests in the Company through the ownership of Common Stock of the
         Company.  The Company believes that employees who participate in the
         Plan will have a closer identification with the Company by virtue of
         their ability as stockholders to participate in the Company's growth
         and earnings.  It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan
         qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the
         Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  Accordingly,
         the provisions of the Plan shall be construed so as to extend and
         limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of
         that section of the Code.

2.       Definitions.  The following words or terms have the following
         meanings:

         (g)   "Eligible Employee" shall mean a person regularly employed by
               the Company or a Subsidiary on the effective date of any
               offering of stock pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that
               no person shall be considered an Eligible Employee unless he or
               she is customarily employed by the Company or a Subsidiary for
               at least twenty hours per week and as of such effective date has
               been employed by the Company or a Subsidiary for more than one
               year; and provided further, that the Board of Directors may
               exclude the employees of any specified Subsidiaries from any

               deferred under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401(k) and/or 125
               pursuant to the Eligible Employee's salary reduction agreement,
               and Annual Pay will exclude (a) employer-paid FICA taxes and
               contributions under any qualified pension plan and any deferred
               compensation plan to the extent not currently taxable to the
               Eligible Employee, (b) amounts realized from the exercise of
               nonqualified stock options or the lapse of restrictions on stock

         be sold to Eligible Employees under the Plan may, at the election of
         the Company, be either treasury shares or shares originally issued for
         such purpose.  The maximum number of Shares which shall be reserved
         and made available for sale under the Plan shall be 750,000 (giving
         effect to June 30, 1993 stock split).  The Shares reserved may be
         issued and sold pursuant to one or more offerings under the Plan.
         With respect to each offering, the Board of Directors, or the
         Committee, will specify the number of Shares to be made available, the
         commencement date and the termination date of the applicable Offer
         Period and such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the

<PAGE>   4


               In the event of a subdivision, combination or reclassification
         of the Company's Shares, the maximum number of Shares which may
         thereafter be issued and sold under the Plan and the number of Shares
         subject to options to purchase at the time of such subdivision,
         combination or reclassification will be proportionately increased or
         decreased, the terms relating to the price at which Shares subject to
         options to purchase will be sold will be appropriately adjusted, and
         such other action will be taken as in the opinion of the Board of
         Directors is appropriate under the circumstances.

4.       Administration of the Plan.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the
         Plan shall be administered by the Committee.  Subject to the
         provisions of Paragraph 6, the Committee shall be vested with full
         authority to make, administer and interpret such equitable rules and
         regulations regarding the Plan as it may deem advisable.  Except as
         otherwise provided herein, any determination, decision or action of
         the Committee in connection with the construction, interpretation,
         administration or application of the Plan shall be final, conclusive
         and binding upon all Eligible Employees and any and all persons
         claiming under or through an Eligible Employee.

               The Committee may act by a majority vote at a regular or special
         meeting of the Committee or by decision reduced to writing and signed
         by a majority of the members of the Committee without holding a formal
         meeting.  Vacancies in the membership of the Committee shall be filled
         by the Board of Directors.

               The Committee may request that the management of the Company
         appoint a "Plan Administrator" to carry out the administrative and
         ministerial functions necessary to implement the determinations,
         decisions and actions of the Committee with respect to any offering
         under the Plan.

5.       Offerings.  The Plan will be implemented by offerings made by the
         Company from time to time as determined by the Committee, but in any
         event not more than two times per year.  Participation in any offering
         under the Plan shall neither limit, nor require, participation in any
         other offering except that no employee may have more than one
         authorization for a payroll deduction in effect simultaneously.

6.       Participation in the Plan.  (a)  Options to purchase the Company's
         Common Stock under the Plan shall be granted only to Eligible
         Employees.  With respect to any offering under the Plan, options to
         purchase Shares shall be granted to all Eligible Employees of the
         Company and its Subsidiaries (other than any Subsidiary whose
         employees have been excluded from such offering by the Board of
         Directors) who have elected to participate in such offering as
         provided hereunder; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may
         determine that any offering of Common Stock under the Plan will not be
         extended to highly compensated employees (within the meaning of
         Section 414(q) of the Code) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and
         provided further that in no event may an employee be granted an option
         under this Plan if such employee, immediately after the option is
         granted, owns Stock possessing five percent or more of the total
         combined voting power or value of all classes of capital stock of the
         Company or any Subsidiary.





                                      -3-

<PAGE>   5

         (b)   For the purposes of determining stock ownership under this
         Paragraph 6, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply and
         Stock which the employee may purchase under all outstanding options
         (whether or not granted under this Plan) shall be treated as Stock
         owned by the employee.  Any decision relating to whether to include or
         exclude any officer or highly compensated employee of the Company
         pursuant to this Paragraph 6 shall be made only by the members of the
         Board of Directors who are not executive officers of the Company and
         who have not participated in this Plan or any similar employee stock
         option plan of the Company (except the Company's 1986, 1988 and 1993
         Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans) for a period of at least one year
         prior to such determination.

         (c)   An Eligible Employee may become a participant by completing the
         form provided by the Company for such purpose in connection with the
         applicable offering and filing it with the Plan Administrator (or such
         other person as may be designated by the Company on such form) prior
         to the commencement date of the applicable offering.  In completing
         such form, the Eligible Employee shall designate the method by which
         he will pay for the Shares subject to his option by either authorizing
         a payroll deduction as provided herein or electing to make a lump sum
         payment prior to the termination of the applicable offering.  An
         Eligible Employee may not elect both a payroll deduction and a lump
         sum payment with respect to the same offering.

         (d)   With respect to any offer hereunder, each participating Eligible
         Employee shall have the same rights and privileges subject to the
         limitations set forth in Paragraph 10; provided, that the use of
         Annual Pay (which varies among Eligible Employees) as the basis for
         determining the number of Shares for which an Eligible Employee may be
         granted an option shall not be construed to create a difference in
         such rights and privileges so long as each Eligible Employee has the
         right to elect the same percentage of his Annual Pay as a payroll
         deduction or a lump sum payment under Paragraph 8.

7.       Purchase Price.  The purchase price for Shares purchased pursuant to
         the Plan will be the lesser of (a) an amount equal to 85% of the Fair
         Market Value of the Stock on the Grant Date, or if no Shares were
         traded on that day, on the last day prior thereto on which Shares were
         traded; or (b) an amount equal to 85% of the Fair Market Value of the
         Stock on the Exercise Date, or if no Shares were traded on that day,
         on the last day prior thereto on which Shares were traded.

8.       Payroll Deductions and Lump Sum Payment.  (a)  If in the form filed
         pursuant to Paragraph 6(c) a participant authorizes a payroll
         deduction, such participant shall specify an amount which, in the
         aggregate during such offering, is not less than one percent (1%) and
         not more than ten percent (10%) of his Annual Pay which will be
         deducted from his pay in equal (or as nearly equal as is practicable)
         installments on each payday during the time he is a participant in
         such offering.  Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on
         the commencement date of the offering to which the authorization for a
         payroll deduction is applicable and shall end on the termination date
         of such offering unless sooner terminated by the Participant as
         provided in Paragraph 13.





                                      -4-

<PAGE>   6

         (b)   If in the form filed pursuant to Paragraph 6(c) a participant
         elects to make a lump sum payment, such participant shall specify an
         amount which is not less than one percent (1%) and not more than ten
         percent (10%) of his Annual Pay which such participant intends to pay
         to the Company in a lump sum prior to the termination of the
         applicable offering in payment of the Shares subject to his option.

         (c)   All payroll deductions made for a participant and all cash
         payments made by a participant shall be credited to his account under
         the Plan.  Except as otherwise provided herein, a participant who has
         authorized payroll deductions with respect to an offering may not make
         any separate cash payment into such account with respect to such
         offering.  A participant who has elected to make a lump sum payment
         instead of payroll deductions with respect to an offering may not make
         any cash payment with respect to such offering other than such lump
         sum payment.

         (d)   If for any reason other than the termination of the
         participant's employment subject to Paragraph 13(c), a participant who
         has authorized payroll deductions with respect to an offering has no
         pay or his pay is insufficient (after other authorized deductions) to
         permit deduction of his scheduled payroll deductions hereunder during
         a portion of the Offer Period, such participant must, if such
         participant's actual payroll deductions during the Offer Period would
         otherwise equal less than the Minimum Contribution, prior to the
         termination of the applicable Offer Period, either (i) make a lump sum
         payment for credit to his account in an amount sufficient to make such
         account, as of the termination of the applicable Offer Period, at
         least equal to the Minimum Contribution but not greater than the
         aggregate of the scheduled payroll deductions, or (ii) withdraw from
         the offering as provided in Paragraph 13.

         (e)   A participant may discontinue his participation in the Plan as
         provided in Paragraph 13.  During each Offer Period, a participant may
         reduce the rate of his payroll deductions one time for that offering
         by giving written notice of such reduction to the Plan Administrator;
         provided, however, that a participant who is not discontinuing his
         participation in the Plan as provided in Paragraph 13 may not reduce
         the rate of his payroll deductions below that required to enable the
         participant to make the Minimum Contribution.  A participant may not
         switch between the payroll deduction and lump sum payment options
         during an offering.

9.       Grants of Options.  Subject to the limitations set forth below in this
         Paragraph 9 or in Paragraph 10, each Eligible Employee participating
         in an offering shall be granted an option to purchase a fixed maximum
         number of Shares determined by the following procedure:

               Step 1 -         Determine (a) the aggregate amount which would
                                be withheld from the Eligible Employee's pay
                                during the applicable Offer Period in
                                accordance with such Eligible Employee's
                                authorization for a payroll deduction or (b)
                                the amount specified by such Eligible Employee
                                as the intended amount of such Eligible
                                Employee's lump sum payment, whichever is
                                applicable;

               Step 2 -         Determine the figure which represents 85% of
                                the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date;

               Step 3 -         Divide the figure determined in Step 1 by the
                                figure determined in Step 2 and round off the
                                quotient to the nearest whole number.  Subject
                                to the limitations set forth herein, this final
                                figure shall be the fixed maximum number of
                                Shares for which the Eligible Employee may be
                                granted an option to purchase under the
                                applicable offering.

         In the event the total maximum number of Shares for which options
would otherwise be granted in accordance with this Paragraph 9 under any
offering hereunder exceeds the number of Shares offered, the Company shall
reduce the maximum number of Shares for which Eligible Employees may be granted
options to allot the Shares available in such manner as it shall determine, but
generally pro rata, and shall grant options to purchase only for such reduced
number of Shares.  In such event, the payroll deductions and the amounts of the
lump sum payments to be made pursuant to the authorizations therefor shall be
reduced accordingly (without regard to the otherwise applicable Minimum
Contribution) and the Company shall give written notice of such reduction to
each employee affected thereby.

         On the Grant Date each participating Eligible Employee shall be
granted an option to purchase the number of Shares determined under this
Paragraph 9, subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraph 10.  Notice that
an option has been granted shall be given to each participating Eligible
Employee and such notice shall show the maximum number of Shares subject to
such option and the amount, if any, to be deducted from the Eligible Employee's
pay for each payroll period during the applicable Offer Period or the amount,
if any, to be paid by the Eligible Employee in a lump sum prior to the
termination of the applicable Offer Period, whichever is applicable.

         All Shares included in any offering under the Plan in excess of the
total number of Shares for which options are granted hereunder and all Shares
with respect to which options granted hereunder are not exercised shall
continue to be reserved for the Plan and shall be available for inclusion in
any subsequent offering under the Plan.

10.      Limitations Of Number Of Options Which May Be Granted And Shares Which
         May Be Purchased.  The following limitations shall apply with respect
         to the number of Shares for which each Eligible Employee who elects to
         participate in an offering under the Plan may be granted an option
         hereunder:

         (1)     No Eligible Employee may purchase Shares under any one
                 offering pursuant to the Plan for an aggregate purchase price
                 in excess of 10% of his Annual Pay; and

         (2)     No Eligible Employee participating in an offering and not
                 withdrawing therefrom may purchase Shares under any one
                 offering pursuant to the Plan for an aggregate purchase price
                 which is less than 1% of his Annual Pay, unless such purchase
                 relates to the full number of shares subject to the option
                 granted to such Eligible Employee pursuant to the Plan; and





                                      -6-

<PAGE>   8


         (3)     No Eligible Employee shall be granted an option to purchase
                 Shares under the Plan if such Eligible Employee immediately
                 after such option is granted, owns stock or holds options to
                 purchase stock possessing in the aggregate five percent or
                 more of the total combined voting power or value of the
                 capital stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary (under the
                 rules set forth in Section 424(d) of the Code); and

         (4)     No Eligible Employee may be granted an option to purchase
                 Shares which permits his right to purchase Stock under the
                 Plan and all other stock option plans of the Company and of
                 any Subsidiary pursuant to Section 423 of the Code to accrue
                 at a rate which exceeds in any one calendar year $25,000 of
                 the fair market value of such Stock (determined on the Grant
                 Date).

11.      Exercise of Option.  (a) Payroll Deductions.  (1) Unless a participant
         who has authorized payroll deductions with respect to the applicable
         offering gives written notice to the Company as hereinafter provided,
         his option to purchase Shares with payroll deductions made during such
         offering will be exercised automatically for him on the termination
         date of the applicable offering, for the purchase of the number of
         whole Shares subject to such participant's option which the
         accumulated payroll deductions and cash payments, if any, in his
         account at that time will purchase at the applicable option price.

         (2)     By written notice to the Company not earlier than ninety (90)
         days prior to the termination date of the applicable offering and not
         later than the day prior to such termination date, a participant who
         has authorized payroll deductions may elect, effective on the
         termination date of such offering, to:

                 (i)    Withdraw all the accumulated payroll deductions and
                        cash payments, if any, in his account at the
                        termination date; or

                 (ii)   Exercise his option for a specified number of whole
                        Shares less than the number of whole Shares subject to
                        such option which the accumulated payroll deductions
                        and cash payments, if any, in his account at the
                        termination date will purchase at the applicable option
                        price; provided, however, no participant may exercise
                        an option pursuant to this Paragraph 11(a)(2)(ii) for a
                        number of whole shares which is less than the number of
                        whole shares which such participant's Minimum
                        Contribution would purchase at the applicable option
                        price.

         (b)     Lump Sum Payments.  (1) Unless a participant who has elected
         to make a lump sum payment with respect to an offering and who has
         made such lump sum payment (whether or not in the full amount
         specified by such participant on the form filed pursuant to Paragraph
         6(c)) with respect to the applicable offering gives written notice to
         the Company as hereinafter provided, his option to purchase Shares
         with such lump sum payment will be exercised automatically for him on
         the termination date of the applicable offering, for the purchase of
         the number of whole Shares subject to such participant's option which
         the amount of such lump sum payment will purchase at the applicable
         option price.  Notwithstanding the terms of any written notice given
         to the





                                      -7-

<PAGE>   9

         Company pursuant to Paragraph 11(b)(2), in the event that a
         participant who has elected to make a lump sum payment with respect to
         an offering has not made such lump sum payment (whether or not in the
         full amount specified by such participant on the form filed pursuant
         to Paragraph 6(c)) prior to the termination date of such offering, his
         option to purchase Shares under such offering will be cancelled
         automatically for him on the termination date of such offering.

         (2)     By written notice to the Company not earlier than ninety (90)
         days prior to the termination date of the applicable offering and not
         later than the day prior to such termination date, a participant who
         has elected to make a lump sum payment may elect, effective on the
         termination date of such offering, to:

                 (i)    Withdraw the full amount of the lump sum payment in his
                        account at the termination date; or

                 (ii)   Exercise his option for a specified number of whole
                        Shares less than the number of whole Shares subject to
                        such option which the amount of the lump sum payment in
                        his account at the termination date will purchase at
                        the applicable option price; provided, however, no
                        participant may exercise an option pursuant to this
                        Paragraph 11(b)(2)(ii) for a number of whole shares
                        which is less than the number of whole shares which
                        such participant's Minimum Contribution would purchase
                        at the applicable option price.

12.      Delivery.  As promptly as practicable after the termination of each
         offering, the Company will deliver to each participant, as
         appropriate, either the Shares purchased upon the exercise of his
         option together with a cash payment equal to the balance of any
         payroll deductions and/or cash payments credited to his account during
         such offering which were not used for the purchase of Shares, or a
         cash payment equal to the total of the payroll deductions and/or cash
         payments credited to his account during such offering.

13.      Withdrawal.  (a)  A participant may withdraw payroll deductions and/or
         cash payments credited to his account under the Plan at any time by
         giving written notice to the Company.  All of the participant's
         payroll deductions and/or cash payments credited to his account will
         be paid to him promptly after receipt of his notice of withdrawal, and
         no further payroll deductions will be made from his pay except in
         accordance with an authorization for a new payroll deduction filed
         with respect to a different offering in accordance with Paragraph 6(c)
         and no additional cash payment(s) will be accepted by the Company for
         the account of the participant with respect to such offering.

         (b)     A participant's withdrawal will not have any effect upon his
         eligibility to participate in a succeeding offering or in any similar
         plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company; provided, however,
         in the event that a participant who is subject to Section 16 under the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, gives notice of
         withdrawal from an offering hereunder, or if any such participant who
         has elected to make a lump sum payment hereunder fails to make such
         payment prior to termination of the applicable offering, then such
         participant shall be prohibited from





                                      -8-

<PAGE>   10

         participation in another offering under the Plan for a period of at
         least six months from (i) the date such notice of withdrawal is
         delivered to the Company or (ii) in case of a participant electing to
         make a lump sum payment and not making such payment, the termination
         date of the offering.

         (c)     Upon termination of the participant's employment for any
         reason, including retirement, the payroll deductions and/or cash
         payments credited to his account will be returned to him, or, in the
         case of his death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under
         Paragraph 14 and all options granted to such participant hereunder and
         not previously exercised shall be deemed cancelled.

14.      Designation of Beneficiary.  A participant may file a written
         designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any Shares and cash to
         the participant's credit under the Plan in the event of such
         participant's death prior to delivery to him of such Shares and cash.
         Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at
         any time by written notice.  Upon the death of a participant and upon
         receipt by the Company of proof of the identity and existence at the
         participant's death of a beneficiary validly designated by him under
         the Plan, the Company shall deliver such Shares and cash to such
         beneficiary.  In the event of the death of a participant and in the
         absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is
         living at the time of such participant's death, the Company shall
         deliver such Shares and cash to the executor or administrator of the
         estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has
         been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company) the Company shall
         deliver such Shares and cash to the applicable court having
         jurisdiction over the administration of such estate.  No designated
         beneficiary shall, prior to the death of the participant by whom he
         has been designated, acquire any interest in the Shares or cash
         credited to the participant under the Plan.

15.      Rights As Stockholder.  An Eligible Employee shall have no rights as a
         stockholder with respect to Shares subject to an option until such
         option has been exercised with respect to such Shares in connection
         with the terms hereunder.  A certificate for the Shares purchased will
         be issued as soon as practicable after the termination of the
         applicable offering.  Such Shares will be registered in the name of
         the applicable Eligible Employee.

16.      Options Not Transferable.  Neither an Eligible Employee's options nor
         the payroll deductions or cash payments credited to such Eligible
         Employee's account may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in
         any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
         distribution, and during the lifetime of the Eligible Employee, such
         options may only be exercised by him or her.  If this provision is
         violated the right of the Eligible Employee to exercise such options
         shall terminate and the only right remaining hereunder with respect to
         such options and such payroll deductions and cash payments will be to
         have paid over to the person entitled thereto the amount then credited
         to the Eligible Employee's account.

17.      Application of Funds.  All funds received by the Company pursuant to
         payroll deductions or cash payments authorized or made in accordance
         with the terms hereof and held by the Company at any time may be used
         for any valid corporate purpose and will not be





                                      -9-

<PAGE>   11

         maintained in a segregated account.  Participants shall not be
         entitled to earn interest on any such funds held by the Company
         hereunder.  Until paid over to the applicable Eligible Employee or
         used to purchase Shares as provided hereunder, the amount of each
         Eligible Employee's payroll deductions and cash payments in connection
         with any applicable offering shall represent an indebtedness of the
         Company to such Eligible Employee.

18.      Governmental Approvals or Consents.  The Plan shall not be effective
         unless it is approved by the stockholders of the Company within 12
         months after the Plan is adopted by the Board of Directors of the
         Company.  The Plan and any offerings and sales to Eligible Employees
         under it are subject to any governmental approvals or consents that
         may be or become applicable in connection therewith.  The Board of
         Directors of the Company may make such changes in the Plan and include
         such terms in any offering under the Plan as may be necessary or
         desirable, in the opinion of counsel, so that the Plan will comply
         with the rules and regulations of any governmental authority and so
         that Eligible Employees participating in the Plan will be eligible for
         tax benefits under the Code or the laws of any state.

19.      Amendment or Termination.  The Board of Directors of the Company may
         at any time terminate or amend the Plan.  No such termination shall
         affect options previously granted, nor may an amendment make any
         change in any option theretofore granted which would adversely affect
         the rights of any participant nor may an amendment be made without
         prior approval of the stockholders of the Company if such amendment
         would:

         (1)     Increase the maximum number of shares authorized under
                 Paragraph 3 for sale under the Plan otherwise than as required
                 to reflect a subdivision, a combination or a reclassification
                 as provided in Paragraph 3 hereof; or

         (2)     Expand the persons eligible to participate in the Plan beyond
                 the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

20.      Notices.  All notices or other communications by a participant to the
         Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have
         been duly given when received by the Treasurer of the Company or when
         received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by
         the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

HAVERTY FURNITURE COMPANIES, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General
     In the last five years, the Company's net sales have increased from
approximately $250 million to approximately $370 million. During this period,
actions were taken to better target the home furnishings preferences of the
Company's primary customers, the middle to upper-middle income household. A new
upscale interiors presentation was developed featuring professionally designed
and fully-accessorized room settings. The merchandise assortment was also
upgraded and expanded by carrying moderately higher priced items from certain
suppliers and by adding the Thomasville and Drexel Heritage lines. Management
took a conservative approach toward increasing the total number of stores
during this period but systematically sought better locations and market areas
by opening 16 new stores while closing 11 under-performing stores. The new
upscale interiors presentation was incorporated in 14 of these 16 new stores
opened since 1990. In addition, the Company began in 1991 a program of
remodeling and expanding existing stores to present the wider selection of
better furniture in fully-decorated room settings.
     The stores' average selling area increased 17.0% from 22,542 square feet
during 1989 to 26,383 square feet in 1994 as management implemented its
strategy to remodel and expand the size of the stores. Sales productivity per
square foot increased 30% to $160 over this time period. Net income declined to
$6,431,000 in 1990 and declined again the following year during a difficult
economic environment marked by the beginning of the Company's implementation of
its strategic changes. Net income more than doubled in 1992 to $4,532,000 and
doubled again in 1993 to $9,716,000 as the economy strengthened and the
Company's business strategies gained acceptance. Net income in 1994 increased
to $12,538,000 as the Company continued to expand its base of primary customers
who were experiencing growth in disposable income.
     In 1995, management will continue to focus on the upscale remodeling and
expansion program, with plans to expand and remodel six stores and expand two
stores which already have the upscale look. The Company is also planning to
open five new stores (one of which will replace an existing location) that
feature classical exteriors and larger showrooms designed for better traffic
flow. These new stores will provide target customers a wider selection of
choice merchandise combined with quality service which will further emphasize
the differentiation of the Company from its competition.

1994 Compared to 1993
     Net sales increased 14.6% as comparable-store sales (sales from stores
opened or expanded for one year or more) increased 10.0%. Management attributes
the improvement to several factors including a favorable general economic
climate. The program of remodeling and expanding stores in certain markets,
coupled with the success of upgraded merchandise lines, enabled sales to grow
at a faster pace than the home furnishings industry's estimated average of
6.5%, according to the American Furniture Manufacturers Association. Sales
growth for first-year expanded stores, which feature wider merchandise
assortments, was 36% during 1994. The well-known quality furniture lines of
Thomasville, and more recently, Drexel Heritage, continued to appeal to
upper-middle income customers and generate higher sales per transaction. The
promotional environment of retail furniture led to the continuation of
interest-free financing packages in 1994, at a pace similar to 1993. The
Company believes that responding to the terms of advertised financing
promotions offered by many of its competitors reduces the need to emphasize
off-price promotional activity and allows for more consistent pricing and gross
margins on its merchandise.
     Gross profit as a percent of net sales improved 0.2% primarily due to the
effect of improved merchandise purchasing and lower inflation under the LIFO
accounting method which was partially offset by strong sales growth in large
metropolitan markets which have greater price competition. The increase in
sales of higher-price-point furniture lines, which typically yield slightly
lower gross margins, was also a factor.
     The LIFO provision was 0.1% of net sales in 1994 versus 0.5% in 1993.
During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company changed its method of accounting
for LIFO inventories from applying U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
indices to internally developed indices. The Company believes the internally
developed indices more accurately measure increases and decreases in the
Company's cost of merchandise and produce a better matching of current costs
and revenues. The LIFO provision would have been 0.3% of net sales in 1994 had
the BLS indices been used. The cumulative effect of such change at the
beginning of the year and proforma amounts for prior years are not
determinable.


                                                                            -7-

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)


     Credit service charges declined to 3.2% of net sales from 3.3% in 1993 as
customer financing at lower promotional interest rates increased slightly.
Free-interest promotions for specified periods up to one year were available on
a periodic basis to stimulate sales and meet competition. The Company plans to
continue to offer promotional interest-free financing packages at a level such
that credit service charges as a percent of net sales are not expected to
decline during 1995.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 0.6% as a percent
of net sales in 1994 reflecting the fixed cost nature of many expenses in this
category as well as improvements in cost control by the Company. General
insurance costs declined 0.3% as a percent of net sales due to more favorable
claims experience and improved safety programs. Occupancy expense, as well as
personnel expenses, each declined 0.2% as a percent of net sales due to the
larger sales base. Advertising expense decreased 0.2% as a percent of net sales
as the Company continued to perform more production work in-house. In absolute
dollars, advertising expenses increased 12.3% as the Company moved to reinforce
the quality merchandise and service themes which management uses to
differentiate the Company. During 1994, the Company produced and broadcast in
all of its television markets a series of infomercials offering decorating
ideas featuring Haverty merchandise.
     Interest expense increased 0.1% as a percent of net sales due to an
increase of 18.8% in average debt levels to support higher accounts receivable
and capital expenditures. Also, the Company's effective interest rate increased
17 basis points reflecting increased short-term rates.
     A provision for doubtful accounts of 0.8% and 1.0% of net sales was
made in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company's accounts receivable rose
from the strong sales volume and the increase in credit versus cash sales to
80% of net sales versus 78% last year. The Company continued to experience bad
debt write-offs consistent with its expectations.
     Other expenses increased from 0.1% to 0.3% of net sales. During the fourth
quarter of 1994, the Company determined that land originally purchased in 1987
for warehouse expansion in its Dallas market was no longer suitable in size or
location given the growth of that market and lack of improvements in the
immediate vicinity's infrastructure. The Company plans to sell this property
and a store site and in connection therewith, made a write-down of these
properties of $1.1 million which was charged to other expenses.
     The Company will adopt AICPA Statement of Position 93-7 regarding
accounting for advertising costs in the first quarter of 1995. The adoption of
this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

1993 Compared to 1992
     Net sales increased 14.5% while comparable-store sales (sales from stores
opened or expanded one year or more) increased 13.1%. Management attributes the
increase in sales to its remodeling and expansion program, the upscaling of its
merchandise lines and to an improvement in the general economy. Management
believes that its remodeling and upscaling programs enabled the Company to
increase sales to its targeted customer base and to attract additional
customers from higher income levels. Special free-interest financing promotions
continued as an important selling tool in 1993, although less frequently than
in 1992.

     Gross profit as a percent of net sales improved 0.6% primarily due to
improved inventory control as well as the more consistent, orderly programs of
closing out discontinued and slow moving merchandise permitted in a better
economic climate. The LIFO provision was 0.5% of net sales in 1993 versus 0.6%
in 1992, based on changes in a U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics price index.
     Credit service charges declined to 3.3% of net sales from 3.7% in 1992
reflecting lower standard rates charged by the Company. In late 1992, the
Company's standard (non-promotional) credit service charge rate was lowered to
a more competitive 14.9% per annum (except in Arkansas where it is lower due to
state laws). The Company also offers a lower credit service charge rate for
individual purchases of over $3,000. Free-interest promotions for specified
periods up to one year were available on a periodic basis to stimulate sales
and meet competition.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 1.7% as a percent
of net sales in 1993 reflecting the fixed cost nature of many expenses in this
category as well as improvements in cost control by the Company. Advertising
expense decreased 0.6% as a percent of net sales due to the better selection
and negotiation of media space and efficiencies from more in-house,
computer-aided production work. Occupancy expense, as well as personnel
expenses, declined 0.6% and 0.5%, respectively, as a percent of net sales due
to the larger sales base. General insurance costs declined 0.2% as a percent of
net sales.
     Interest expense decreased 0.5% as a percent of net sales due in part to
the proceeds of the common stock public offering in April plus a 30-basis point
decline in the Company's average effective interest rate. This improvement was
realized despite the funding of capital expenditures of over $13 million and
significantly higher accounts receivable.
     A provision for doubtful accounts of 1.0% of net sales was made in both
1993 and 1992. The Company's accounts receivable rose from the strong sales
volume and the increase in credit versus cash sales to 78% of net sales versus
75% last year. The Company continued to experience bad debt write-offs
consistent with its expectations.
     In 1993, the Company adopted FASB statement No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" with no material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations. The Company does not provide a valuation allowance for
its net deferred tax asset as future income is expected to be sufficient to
fully realize the recorded benefit.

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 $1.9 million use of cash in operating
activities for 1994 as shown on the statements of cash flows since strong sales
increases led to a $25.9 million increase in accounts receivable. Stronger
earnings and somewhat higher depreciation charges offset a large portion of
this increase.
     Receivables which bear no interest for specified periods up to one
year decreased as a percent of total accounts receivable due to slightly less
use of free-interest and delayed payment promotions during 1994. Such
promotions are expected to continue at a similar pace during 1995. Inventory
levels were 15.3% higher due to the 14.6% sales increase, a broader line of
merchandise and the new regional warehouse in Florida which was stocked in
November and December. Turnover was positively influenced by further
improvements to the Company's computerized inventory management system, more
reliance on the regional distribution centers and increases in sales of certain
upscale merchandise which are filled from special orders.


                                                                            -9-

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)

     Investing activities used $24.6 million of cash in 1994 as the Company
constructed its new regional distribution warehouse in Ocala, Florida. Also,
one new store was opened and nine stores were remodeled with four of those also
being expanded. In addition, four stores which had been previously remodeled
were expanded in 1994. Approximately one-third of 1994 capital expenditures was
for additional expansion which will be completed in 1995. Financing activities
provided $27.8 million during the year, mostly from short-term bank borrowings.
     The Company has arrangements with eight banks under line-of-credit
agreements to borrow up to $104 million. At December 31, 1994, of this amount,
$64 million were committed lines ($14.8 million unused) and $40 million were
uncommitted lines ($30.0 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 utilized, this facility would replace a
$10 million short-term committed line. The Company's financial covenants under
various loan agreements allow for securitization of up to 55% of the
outstanding balances of accounts receivable. The Company plans to enter into a
financing transaction of this type in 1995, the proceeds of which would reduce
accounts receivable and notes payable to banks while improving 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 transactions such as sale/leasebacks, 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
fixed-rate or capped-rate debt (45% of total debt was interest-rate protected
at December 31, 1994). The Company's average effective interest rates on all
borrowings (without capital leases) were 7.3%, 7.0% and 7.0% in 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively.
     Capital expenditures are presently expected to include for the two-year
period of 1995 and 1996 the addition of 13 new stores and the remodeling and
expansion of 10 existing locations and the expansion of two stores which
already have the new upscale format. Although the preliminary estimate of gross
capital expenditures over this two-year period is $55 million, the amount
recorded on the Company's balance sheet will exclude any new properties which
are arranged under operating leases. The Company intends to seek operating
leases for up to one-third of the total expenditures projected. 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.

Seasonality
     Although the Company does not consider its business to be seasonal, sales
are somewhat higher in the second half of the year, particularly in the fourth
quarter.

Notes To Financial Statements

NOTE 1-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value.
     Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost
is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. As discussed in Note
3, the Company changed its method of accounting for LIFO inventories in 1994.
     Property and Equipment and Depreciation: Property and equipment are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is
provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line
method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated
useful life or the lease term of the related asset. Investments in property
under capital leases are amortized over the related lease term.
     Fair Values of Financial Instruments: The Company's financial instruments
consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt.
Cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are stated at fair market value;
the carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair market value based on
current interest rates.
     Advertising Costs: During 1994, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 93-7 regarding accounting for
advertising costs. This SOP requires expensing the costs of all advertising in
the periods in which those costs are incurred, or the first time the
advertising takes place. The Company will adopt the new SOP in the first
quarter of 1995. The adoption of this SOP is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
     Income Taxes: Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
SFAS No. 109 required a change from the deferred method to the asset and
liability method of computing deferred income taxes. SFAS No. 109 generally
requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The
Company elected not to restate the financial statements of any prior years and
the cumulative effect of this change in accounting was immaterial.
     Earnings Per Share: Earnings per share are computed based on the weighted
average number of common shares plus the common stock equivalents related to
stock options, once the latter causes dilution in net income per share in
excess of 3%. The 1992 earnings per share amounts have been restated to record
the effect of the 3-for-2 stock split on June 30, 1993.
     Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the 1993 financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.

NOTE 2-ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
     The Company is engaged in the sale of retail home furnishings in 11
Southeastern and Southwestern states. During 1994, credit sales under Company
credit programs were $294,620,000 or 80% of sales compared with 78% in 1993 and
75% in 1992. Accounts receivable are shown net of the allowance for doubtful
accounts of $7,105,000 and $6,485,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Accounts receivable terms vary as to payment terms (30 days to
three years) and interest rates (0% to 21%) and are generally collateralized by
the merchandise sold. Accounts receivables having balances due after one year
at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were approximately $121,142,000 and $98,220,000,
respectively and have been included in current assets in accordance with trade
practice.

NOTE 2-ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (continued)
     The Company believes that the carrying value of existing customer
receivables is the best estimate of fair value because of their short average
maturity and estimated bad debt losses have been reserved. Concentrations of
credit risk with respect to customer receivables are limited due to the large
number of customers comprising the Company's account base and their dispersion
across eleven states.

NOTE 3-INVENTORIES
     Inventories are measured using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of
inventory valuation. The excess of current cost over the value of inventories
based upon the LIFO method was approximately $12,698,000 and $12,264,000 at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. A number of the Company's competitors
use the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis of inventory valuation which
approximates current costs. The use of the LIFO valuation method as compared to
the FIFO method had the effect of decreasing net income by $.02, $.09 and $.12
per share for the years ended 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively had the
Company's effective tax rate been applied to changes in income resulting
therefrom, and had no other assumptions been made as to changes in income.
     During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company changed its method of
accounting for LIFO inventories from applying U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
indices to internally developed indices. The Company believes the internally
developed indices more accurately measure increases and decreases in the
Company's cost of merchandise and produce a better matching of current costs
and revenues. The effect of the change in the accounting for LIFO inventories
was to increase net income by approximately $330,000 or $.03 per share in the
year ended December 31, 1994. The cumulative effect of such change at the
beginning of the year and proforma income amounts for prior years are not
determinable.

NOTE 4-PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
     Property and equipment is summarized as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>

     During the year ended December 31, 1994 the Company determined that land
with a cost of $2,812,000 was no longer suitable for future operating use and
transferred the cost from land to other current assets.

NOTE 5-CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
     Under short-term line-of-credit arrangements with banks, the Company may
borrow up to $104,000,000 upon such terms as the Company and the banks mutually
agree. These arrangements are reviewed annually for renewal.
     Committed lines of credit totaled $64,000,000 with customary fees payable
on the unused portion ($14,800,000 unused at December 31, 1994). No fees or
compensating balances are required for the remaining $40,000,000 uncommitted
lines of credit ($30,000,000 unused at December 31, 1994).


                                                                            -17-

banks, of which $10,000,000 was classified as long-term debt as described in
Note 7. The weighted average interest rate for these borrowings outstanding at
December 31, 1994 and 1993 was 6.3% and 3.5%, respectively.

     (a) The note is payable in semi-annual installments of $2,500,000 plus
         interest payable quarterly and matures in April 2000.
     (b) The note is payable in semi-annual principal payments of $2,143,000
         commencing in October 2000 and matures in April 2007. Interest
         is payable quarterly.
     (c) Secured debt is comprised of various first mortgage notes and first
         deeds of trust including some with fixed rates of interest
         ranging from 6.5% to 7.9% which were repaid during 1994 and some with
         floating rates of interest ranging from LIBOR plus .875% (note rate of
         7.39% at December 31, 1994) to 94% of prime rate due through 2007. The
         Company may prepay the floating-rate notes at any time without penalty.
         Property and equipment with a net book value at December 31, 1994 of
         $31,442,000 is pledged as collateral on secured debt.
     (d) The Company has a revolving credit/term loan agreement with a
         commercial bank providing for borrowings of $10,000,000
         revolving through 1997, at which time it converts to a term loan,
         maturing in 1999. If utilized, this facility would replace a
         $10,000,000 short-term committed line. Interest is charged at the
         bank's prime rate, or any fixed rate as offered at that time acceptable
         to the Company. The Company may prepay the loan at any interest payment
         date without penalty. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company
         has the option to refinance short-term notes and, accordingly,
         $10,000,000 was classified as long-term debt at December 31, 1994.

     The Company's debt agreements require, among other things, that the
Company: (a) meet certain working capital requirements; (b) limit the type and
amount of indebtedness incurred; (c) limit the operating lease rentals; and (d)
grant certain lenders identical security for any liens placed upon the
Company's assets, other than those liens specifically permitted in the loan
agreements. The Company is in compliance with these covenants at December 31,
1994.
     The note agreement which governs the 10.1% and 7.16% unsecured notes
payable allows for the issuance of additional notes of up to $30 million in the
aggregate at any time over the next three years if requested by the Company.
This uncommitted "shelf" facility would be funded at prevailing market interest
rates for similar credit-rated borrowers and would mature in no more than 13
years with an average life of 10 years or less.

NOTE 8-INCOME TAXES (continued)
     The Company made income tax payments of $5,107,000, $5,895,000 and
$3,201,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Income tax benefit related to
stock options of approximately $156,000 and $1,331,000 was recorded as an
increase in additional paid-in capital in 1994 and 1993, respectively.

NOTE 9-STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
     Common Stock has a preferential dividend rate, while Class A Common Stock
has greater voting rights (including the ability to elect a majority of the
Board of Directors). Class A Common Stock is convertible at the holder's option
at any time into Common Stock on a 1-for-1 basis; Common Stock is not
convertible into Class A Common Stock. There is no present plan for issuance of
Preferred Stock.

NOTE 10-BENEFIT PLANS
     The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all
employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's final
average compensation. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually an
amount which is within the range of the minimum required contribution and the
maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes.
Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to
service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future.
     The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts
recognized in the Company's balance sheet at December 31 (in thousands):

NOTE 10-BENEFIT PLANS (continued)
     The Company has a non-qualified, non-contributory Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (SERP) which covers one executive officer and four retired
executive officers. The plan provides annual supplemental retirement benefits
to the executives amounting to 55% of final average earnings less benefits
payable from the Company's defined benefit pension plan and Social Security
benefits. Under the plan, which is not funded, the Company pays benefits
directly to covered executives beginning at their retirement. At December 31,
1994, the projected benefit obligation for this plan totaled $2,124,000, of
which $1,701,000 is included in the accompanying balance sheet. Pension expense
recorded under the SERP amounted to $246,000, $196,000, and $208,000 for 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively.
     The Company has an employee savings/retirement (401k) plan to which
substantially all employees may contribute. The Company matches employee
contributions to the extent of 50% of the first 2% of earnings and 25% of the
next 4% contributed by participants. The Company expensed approximately
$744,000 in 1994, $561,000 in 1993 and $557,000 in 1992 in matching employer
contributions to this plan.
     The Company offers no postretirement benefits other than pensions and no
significant postemployment benefits.

NOTE 11-STOCK OPTION PLANS
     The Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors serves as
Administrator for the Company's incentive and non-qualified stock option plans.
Options are granted by the Committee under both stock plans to officers and
non-officer employees. In accordance with certain provisions of the
non-qualified plan, options granted to non-employee directors of the Company
are automatic annual grants on a pre-determined date to purchase a specific
number of shares at the fair market value of the shares on such date. As of
December 31, 1994 the maximum number of options which may be granted under
incentive and non-qualified stock option plans were 237,348 and 412,000,

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors


Board of Directors
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Haverty Furniture
Companies, Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of
income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1994. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Haverty Furniture
Companies, Inc. at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Mr. Dennis Fink
Senior Vice President and
 Chief Financial Officer
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc.
866 West Peachtree N.W.
Atlanta, Georgia 30308-1123

Dear Mr. Fink:

Note 3 of Notes to the financial statements of Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc.
included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 describes a
change in the method of accounting for LIFO inventories from applying U.S. 
Bureau of Labor Statistics indices to internally developed indices.  You have 
advised us that you believe the change is to a preferable method in your 
circumstances because the internally developed indices more accurately measure 
increases and decreases in the Company's cost of merchandise and produce a 
better matching of current costs and revenues.

There are no authoritative criteria for determining a preferred LIFO costing
method based upon the particular circumstances; however, we conclude that the
change in the method of accounting for LIFO inventories is to an acceptable
alternative method which, based on your business judgment to make this change
for the reasons cited above, is preferable in your circumstances.


                                                Very truly yours,

                                                /s/ Ernst & Young LLP
