                    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 $6,005,000 and $3,481,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995
and 1994, respectively.

The Company made total income tax payments of $6,290,000 and $2,858,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

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




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 increased
4.6% and 6.0% over the same periods for 1994, respectively.  Comparable-store
sales (sales from stores in operation or expanded for a full year or more)
increased 2.7 % and 3.6% over the year-earlier periods, respectively.
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 flat compared to the prior year
periods at 47.0% for the second quarter and 47.1% for the six-month period.
The 1995 LIFO reserve impact declined 0.3% and 0.4% as a percentage of net
sales for the quarter and six-month period, as compared to the same periods in
1994, respectively.

Credit service charges increased 4.5% and 5.3% in absolute dollars for the
quarter and six-month period, respectively.  The level of charge sales remained
relatively flat when compared to the year-ago periods at approximately 80%.
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 beginning in March 1995 to a more industry-comparable 21% (where allowed
by law) from 16.9% for newly-opened regular accounts.  The provision for
doubtful accounts was unchanged at 0.8% of net sales for the quarter and
decreased 0.1% as a percentage of net sales for the six-month period, as
compared to the same periods in 1994.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 1.1% and 0.5% as a
percentage of net sales, or 6.9% and 7.2% in absolute dollars, for the quarter
and the six-month period, respectively.  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 1.0% and 0.7% as a percentage of net sales, or 53.3%
and 37.4% in absolute dollars, for the quarter and the six-month period,
respectively.  During the second quarter last year, the Company terminated
certain derivative instruments used to manage interest rate risk on short-term
debt and credited the gain to interest expense.  Without considering this gain,
the Company's effective interest rate increased 88 basis points to 7.5% for the
quarter and increased 62 basis points to 7.4% for the six-month period.  The
average debt levels increased 32.4% and 30.3% for the quarter and six-month
period, respectively, to fund higher inventories and physical expansions.

On May 18, 1995 a tornado destroyed a retail location in Nashville, Tennessee.
Management estimates that the current year second quarter sales are lower by
approximately $575,000 as compared to the prior year due to the destruction of
this location, which was the second largest store in that metropolitan market.
Insurance proceeds for replacement value of the facility, inventory and other
coverages are expected to be approximately $3 million.  The estimated gain
resulting from this event is approximately $1.2 million and is included in
other income.

                                  (continued)




Other income also includes a net gain of approximately $370,000 from the sales
and writedown of real estate during the second quarter of 1995.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company used $7.3 million in cash for operating activities in the first
six months of 1995 principally due to increased inventories of $9.1 million.
Such increases largely resulted from stocking certain inventory into its
regional distribution system and lower than expected sales growth.
Additionally, accounts payable and income taxes were reduced $8.1 million.
Higher depreciation charges offset some of these increases.

Cash used in investing activities of $18.0 million for the first six months of
1995 was primarily attributable to $20.3 million in planned capital
expenditures, $12.9 million above the year-ago period.  The Company presently
estimates additional capital expenditures to be approximately $55.0 million
through the end of 1996 for the addition of 8 new stores, the rebuilding and
expansion of the destroyed Nashville store and the expansion and/or remodeling
of 12 existing locations.  The expenditures for an additional 3 new stores and
a new warehouse in Dallas will be arranged under operating leases.

The Company has arrangements with nine banks under line-of-credit agreements to
borrow up to $109 million.  At June 30, 1995, of this amount, $64 million were
committed lines ($17 million unused) and $45 million were uncommitted lines
($32.7 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
six months of 1995 of $24.8 million is related to $30 million unsecured
long-term debt transactions at a fixed-average interest rate of 8.1% 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 (64% of total debt was
interest-rate protected at June 30, 1995).

The Company anticipates that its cash requirements 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.
