                    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 cash payments for interest (including capitalized
interest) of approximately $2,807,000 and $1,671,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The Company made total income tax payments of $2,202,000 and $51,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

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




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the quarter increased 7.2% over the same period for 1994.
Comparable-store sales (sales from stores in operation or expanded for a full
year or more) increased 4.3% over the year-earlier period.  Management believes
that its overall marketing strategy has allowed the Company to attract more
middle- to upper-middle income consumers which has continued to provide modest
sales gains during the slower overall economic growth prevalent at this stage
of the business cycle.  Ongoing Company programs contributing to the appeal to
these consumers include the interior remodeling and showroom expansion of
existing stores and the upscaling of merchandise lines enhanced by the use of
fully accessorized room settings.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 47.1% for the first quarter of
1995 as compared to 47.2% in 1994.  This decline was due to a more competitive
environment in the Company's metropolitan markets and the lower margins
associated with higher price-point merchandise.  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 better matching of current costs and revenues.  The cumulative effect
of such change at the beginning of 1994 and proforma amounts for prior years
are not determinable.  The LIFO reserve was increased 0.5% of net sales and
required no adjustment during the first quarters of 1994 and 1995,
respectively.

Credit service charges increased 6.2% in absolute dollars and the level of
charge sales increased 0.1% when compared to the year-ago period.
Interest-free promotions throughout 1994 generated a higher percentage of
non-interest bearing receivable dollars to gross receivable dollars at quarter
end 1995 as compared to 1994.  The Company plans to continue to offer
interest-free financing promotions such that this percentage is not expected to
decline during 1995.  The Company raised its standard credit service charge
rate to a more industry-comparable 21% (where allowed by law) from 16.9% for
regular accounts opened beginning in March 1995.  The provision for doubtful
accounts was unchanged at 0.7% of net sales as the level of bad debt write-offs
was as expected.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 0.1% as a percentage of
net sales, or 7.5% in absolute dollars.  This increase was primarily related to
depreciation and amortization charges reflecting the Company's increased
investment in property and equipment and other costs associated with a new
regional warehouse facility for Florida, two new stores and seven expanded
store showrooms.  These increases were partially offset by a slight decrease in
overall personnel costs as a percentage of net sales.

Interest expense increased 0.3% as a percentage of net sales, or 23.2% in
absolute dollars as a result of an increase in the Company's effective interest
rate of 28 basis points and increased average borrowings under line-of-credit
agreements.


FINANCIAL POSITION

The Company used $4.6 million in cash for operating activities in the first
quarter of 1995 as inventories increased $6.8 million to support greater demand
and continued stocking of the regional warehouses as the Company transitions
certain inventory into its regional distribution system.  Additionally,
accounts payable were reduced $2.3 million.  Higher depreciation charges offset
some of these increases.

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

                                  (continued)



Net property and equipment, at $87.6 million, was $7.4 million above the level
of the preceding quarter.  Cash used in investing activities of $9.8 million
for the first quarter of 1995 was primarily used on $10 million of planned
capital expenditures, $6.8 million above the year-ago period.  The Company
presently estimates capital expenditures to be approximately $45 million
through the end of 1996 for the addition of 12 new stores and the expansion
and/or remodeling of 12 existing locations.  The estimated expenditures will be
reduced by any new properties which are financed off the balance sheet with
operating leases.

The Company has arrangements with nine banks under line-of-credit agreements to
borrow up to $109 million.  At March 31, 1995, of this amount, $64 million were
committed lines ($18 million unused) and $45 million were uncommitted lines
($31.7 million unused).  Borrowings accrue interest at competitive short-term
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 approximately 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.  Cash provided from financing activities for the first
quarter of 1995 of $13.9 million is related to a $15 million unsecured
long-term debt transaction at a fixed interest rate of 8.26% which was used to
reduce short-term borrowings.  The Company pursues a diversified approach to
its financing requirements and balances its overall capital structure with
appropriate amounts of fixed-rate or capped-rate debt as determined by the
interest rate environment (50% of total debt was interest-rate protected at
March 31, 1995).

The Company anticipates that its cash requirements during the next few years to
finance its operations, open new stores and complete its remodeling/expansion
plans will be adequately generated from operations, bank lines of credit and
other possible financing transactions.  The Company will continue to review all
expenditures to maximize financial returns and maintain financial flexibility.
