              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





NOTE A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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. The financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 $10,734,000 and $8,987,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The Company made total income tax payments of $4,843,000 and $7,239,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

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



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996
increased 16.0% and 16.6% over the same periods for 1995, respectively.
Comparable-store sales (sales from stores in operation or expanded for a full
year or more) increased 3.4% and 4.3% over the year-earlier periods,
respectively.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 47.5 % from 47.2 % and
increased to 47.5% from 47.1% for the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1996, respectively. This increase results from better pricing discipline and
a more favorable product mix during the current year periods. The LIFO provision
impact, as a percentage of net sales, was flat compared to the prior year
periods at 0.2% for the third quarter and 0.1% for the nine-month period.

Credit service charges increased 12.9% and 8.2% in absolute dollars for the
quarter and nine-month period, respectively. The provision for doubtful accounts
increased 0.2% as a percentage of net sales to 0.9% for both the quarter and the
nine-month periods. Management believes that given the current consumer credit
environment, write-offs will continue at this higher level during the coming
year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 0.3% and increased 0.1%
as a percentage of net sales for the quarter and nine months, respectively. The
increase for the nine months was primarily related to depreciation and
amortization charges and other costs such as advertising, pre-opening and
operating expenses associated with the ten new stores opened since September 30,
1995. The decrease for the quarter is attributable to leveraged general and
administrative expenses offsetting the higher occupancy costs associated with a
newer store base.

Interest expense increased 0.4% as a percentage of net sales, or 29.0% and 
32.6% in absolute dollars, for the quarter and nine-month period, respectively.
The Company's effective interest rate decreased 43 basis points to 7.1% for the
quarter and decreased 31 basis points to 7.1% for the nine-month period. The
average debt levels increased 22.2% and 26.2% for the quarter and nine-month
period, respectively, to fund physical expansions.

Other income in the nine-month period for 1995 included gains of $1.2 million
for insurance recoveries on the loss of a retail location destroyed by a tornado
and $.4 million in gains from other real estate transactions.


LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

The Company has used internally generated funds and bank borrowings to finance
its continuing operations and growth. Net cash provided by operations was $2.6
million during the first nine months of 1996. The accounts receivable and
inventories increases of $16.6 million and $7.1 million, respectively, were
partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $9.4 million.

Investing activities using $13.1 million in cash included $13.5 million of
planned capital expenditures. During the nine months, the Company completed the
construction of three new stores, the expansion of three existing stores, and
the remodeling of an acquired store.

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

                                   (continued)



Financing activities provided a net $10.0 million of cash during the first nine
months primarily from $15.0 million in unsecured long-term borrowings under an
existing facility. This note payable bears interest at 7.95% and matures in
August 2008.

The Company has arrangements with banks under line-of-credit agreements. At
September 30, 1996, of these agreements, $99 million were committed lines ($45
unused) and $35 million were uncommitted lines ($18.3 million unused).
Borrowings accrue interest at competitive money-market rates and all lines are
reviewed annually for renewal. In early October 1996, the Company cancelled a
committed $15 million bank revolving line because it is expected that the
remaining arrangements will be adequate for future needs. Under the terms of the
cancelled agreement, the Company had the option to refinance short-term notes
and, accordingly, $15,000,000 was classified as long-term debt at December 31,
1995. The Company's financial covenants under various loan agreements allow for
securitization of up to approximately one-half of the outstanding balances of
accounts receivable. The Company is in the process of arranging a financing
transaction of this type, the effect of which would reduce accounts receivable
and notes payable to banks.

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 leases, private placements and mortgage
financing may be used 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
as determined by the interest rate environment (79.2 % of total debt was
interest-rate protected at September 30, 1996). The Company's average effective
interest rate on all borrowings (excluding capital leases) was 7.2%.

Planned capital expenditures presently include the remodeling of an acquired
retail location to open in 1996 and additional store remodelings of existing and
two acquired locations to be completed in 1997. The preliminary estimate of
capital expenditures for these projects is $8.5 million. In addition, the
Company has committed to lease four stores and a distribution center commencing
in 1996 under operating lease agreements. Minimum lease commitments, including
guaranteed residual values, are expected to aggregate $31 million for the
initial five-year term. 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.
