             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 $7,230,000 and $6,800,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

The Company made total income tax payments of $4,940,000 and $3,930,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

     Certain information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
contains, and other reports or materials filed or to be filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in
oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by the Company or
its management) contain or will contain, "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and pursuant to the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements may relate to financial results and plans for future business
activities, and are thus prospective. Such forward looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual
results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are
not limited to, general economic conditions, competition and other uncertainties
detailed in this report and detailed from time to time in other filings by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking
statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net sales for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997
increased 9.4% and 6.4% over the same periods for 1996, respectively.
Comparable-store sales increased 1.7% and decreased 0.4% over the year-earlier
periods, respectively. A new store's results are included in the
comparable-store sales computation on the one-year anniversary of its opening.

     Gross margin as a percent of net sales decreased to 46.8% from 47.5% and
47.1% from 47.5% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997,
respectively. The transition to the Company's new Dallas warehouse facility
accelerated the merchandise close out process and resulted in lower gross
margins as excess inventory was sold.

     Credit sales continued at approximately the same rate as in the prior year
periods with similar levels of interest promotions. The pace of sales increases
has slowed and free-interest periods have expired on many promotions originated
in 1996. Accordingly, credit service charges as a percent of net sales increased
to 3.5% from 3.0% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997. Under the
Company's credit programs, retroactive interest is not charged to customers who
do not completely pay off the balance during the free- interest or deferred
payment period, unlike many competitors' credit programs.

     The provision for doubtful accounts increased to 1.4% from 0.9% and 1.3%
from 0.9% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. This
higher level reflects the increased delinquencies and bankruptcies experienced
in the consumer lending industry. Management believes that, given the current
consumer credit environment, the dollar level of write-offs will increase for
the remainder of the year.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales
decreased to 43.8% from 44.6% and 43.4% from 43.8% for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. The implementation of the on-line
inventory and automated store system in all locations was completed during the
second quarter of 1997. The centralized advertising production and purchasing
and the completion of the on-line systems have improved these processes and
reduced their related costs.

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

     Interest expense decreased 0.3% and 0.2% as a percent of net sales for the
quarter and six-month period, respectively. The Company's effective interest
rate was unchanged from the prior periods at 7.2% for the quarter and 7.1% for
the six-month period. The average debt levels decreased 0.7% and increased 2.6%
for the quarter and six-month period, respectively.

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 activities
was $14.1 million during the first six months of 1997. The Company carries its
own customer accounts receivables which provided positive cash flows as
receivables decreased $6.3 million.

     Investing activities used $11.6 million of cash during the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The Company opened two replacement stores and three new stores in
addition to relocating one of its major distribution centers during this period.
Capital expenditures were $12.1 million for improvements of these leased
properties and other locations which are scheduled to open in the last half of
1997.

     Financing activities used $2.0 million of cash during the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The Company used $2.6 million during the period for the
acquisition of treasury stock.

     The Company has arrangements with seven banks under line-of-credit
agreements to borrow up to $131 million. At June 30, 1997, of this amount $96
million were committed lines ($38.6 million unused) and $35 million were
uncommitted lines ($6.1 million unused). Borrowings accrue interest at
competitive money-market rates and all lines are reviewed annually for renewal.

     In addition to cash flows 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 private placements of senior notes,
sale/leasebacks and mortgage financings 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 and capped-rate debt as determined by the
interest rate environment (72% of total debt was interest-rate protected at June
30, 1997). The Company's average effective interest rates on all borrowings
(excluding capital leases) was 7.0% at June 30, 1997.

     Four replacement stores are scheduled to open in the second half of 1997.
One of these new facilities will be owned with the others held under operating
leases. Capital expenditures for the remainder of 1997 to support this expansion
as well as 1997 costs for improvements on projects which will be completed in
1998 are estimated to be $6.0 million. 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
