              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.

On July 30, 1999, the Company declared a two-for-one stock split in the form
of a stock dividend which will be paid on August 25, 1999, to shareholders of
record on August 11, 1999. Accordingly, the stock split has been recognized
in these financial statements by reclassifying approximately $13,350,000, the
par value of the additional shares to be issued as a result of the split,
from additional paid in capital to common stock. For all periods presented,
all shares outstanding and per share amounts have been restated to reflect
the stock split.

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.

ITEM 2.  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, changes in consumer spending for
large ticket items such as furniture, economic conditions affecting the housing
market, the mortgage interest rate environment, competition in the retail
furniture industry, 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, 1999, increased
16.6% and 16.2% over the same periods for 1998, respectively. Comparable-store
sales increased 14.3% and 13.4% over the year-earlier periods, respectively. The
Company's largest markets, Dallas and Atlanta, experienced the strongest
comparable-store sales for the quarter and six months period. However, such
increases were broad based, as five of the six regions had increases greater
than 10% for both periods. A store's results are included in the
comparable-store sales computation beginning with the anniversary of its
opening. Overall, continued steady economic growth and high employment
stimulated housing markets and consumer spending on home furnishings.

Gross margin as a percent of net sales was slightly improved, 47.1% for the
second quarter of 1999 compared to 46.9% for the 1998 period and 47.2%
compared to 47.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1999, and 1998,
respectively. The margins in 1998 were pressured because the Company was
liquidating discontinued inventory in conjunction with closing its clearance
center in Dallas. The Company reduced inventories $3 million in the second
quarter, the seasonally slowest quarter of the year. Management anticipates
that margins will improve in the seasonally-stronger second half of the year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales
decreased to 41.7% from 43.6% and 41.1% from 42.7% for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Effective cost controls in
advertising and administrative costs and continued leveraging of fixed costs,
particularly for occupancy, have contributed to these improvements.

The provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of net sales decreased to
0.6% from 1.6% and 0.8% from 1.6% for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1999, and 1998, respectively. This continued reduction reflects the trend of
decreased delinquencies and bankruptcies and a general reduction in overall
receivables. These combined factors led to a $400,000 reduction in the second
quarter provision in order to reduce the allowance for doubtful accounts by that
amount, as prescribed by the Company's methodology for calculating the required
allowance. The Company also continues to evaluate and improve its credit and
collection operations.



                                       6
<PAGE>

Management does not expect significant changes in the current consumer credit
environment for the remainder of 1999.

 Interest expense decreased $0.4 million and $0.8 million, and as a percent of
    net sales, to 2.1% from 2.8% and to 2.1% from 2.7% for the quarter and six
    months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, from the year-earlier
    periods. The Company's effective interest rate was slightly lower at 7.1%
    for the quarter and 7.0% for the six month period with a decrease in average
    debt levels of 9.4% and 10.3% for the quarter and six month periods,
    respectively, from the year-earlier periods.


LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

The Company has historically used internally-generated funds, bank borrowings
and private placements with institutions to finance its continuing operations
and growth. Net cash provided by operating activities was $38.8 million during
the first six months of 1999. The Company carries its own customer accounts
receivables which provided positive cash flows as receivables decreased
$16.4 million due to less customer usage of credit promotions offered, shortened
free interest periods (which accelerate payoffs) and more customer purchases
using national credit cards.

Investing activities used $15.0 million of cash during the six months ended June
30, 1999. Capital expenditures during the period were $15.4 million primarily
for additional store locations, which will open primarily in the latter half of
1999.

Financing activities used $23.9 million of cash during the six months ended June
30, 1999, primarily to reduce debt in the amount of $22.0 million.

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, as determined by the interest rate environment, with
fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of
changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt (99.3% of total debt was
interest rate protected at June 30, 1999). The Company's average effective
interest rate on all borrowings (excluding capital leases) was 7.0% at June 30,
1999.

The Company opened one store in the second quarter and has two additional stores
scheduled to open during the third quarter of 1999 as well as the closing of
one clearance center. Three stores are scheduled for opening in the fourth
quarter, one of which is a relocation, and three existing stores will be
physically expanded during the second half of 1999. Capital expenditures for
the remainder of 1999 to support these projects, and additional ones which
will be completed in 2000, are estimated to be $16 million. Funds available
from operations, bank lines of credit and other possible financing
transactions are expected to be adequate to finance the Company's current
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.


YEAR 2000

As is more fully described in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998, the Company is modifying or replacing portions of
its software and certain hardware for Year 2000 compliance. The review,
remediation and testing of the Company's store systems software was completed in
May 1998.

The review, remediation and testing of the corporate office systems was
completed in March 1999. The Company brought substantially all of its software
and IT systems into compliance with Year 2000 issues in June 1999. Certain
additional, less critical, Y2K issues have been identified and are being
scheduled for remediation during the third quarter. These items relate to
personal computing, telephone voice communication and office document imaging.
Management's assessment of the estimated costs and risks associated with the
Year 2000 project and the status of the Company's contingency plans are
unchanged from that described in the 1998 annual report.

The Company also has identified its suppliers, vendors and financial
institutions (external agents) and is coordinating with them to address
potential Year 2000 issues. Year 2000 questionnaires were sent to these entities
to monitor their progress and to minimize any adverse consequences that might
result if an entity is not Year 2000 compliant. Responses have been received
from approximately 95% of these external agents with no major potential problems
identified. The non-responding external agents are primarily merchandise
suppliers for which the Company has identified substitute products from
compliant suppliers.

With respect to Year 2000 risks, the Company believes it has identified all
critical areas and is in the process of developing contingency plans for those
critical areas identified. Critical is defined as any business process or
application failure that would result in a material operational or financial
impact. If the Company's remediation efforts and the remediation efforts of
external agents fail (which the Company believes is the most reasonably likely
worst case scenario), the Company's contingency plans include performing certain
processes manually while working to assess and correct any errors in the current
systems and possibly changing suppliers. These plans are intended to enable the
Company to continue operating even if a degree of business interruption occurs
at Year 2000.

The complexity of the potential Year 2000 issues and the proposed solutions are
dependent on the technical skills of the Company's employees and on the
representations and preparedness of third parties and are among the factors that
could cause the Company's Year 2000 compliance efforts to be less than fully
effective. Additionally, there are a number of risks that are beyond the
Company's reasonable control, such as the failure of utility companies to
deliver electricity, the failure of telecommunications companies to provide
voice and data services, the failure of financial institutions to process
transactions and transfer funds, the failure of vendors to deliver merchandise
or perform services required by the Company and the collateral effects on the
Company of the effects of Year 2000 issues on the economy in general. Although
the Company believes that its Year 2000 compliance program is designed to
appropriately identify and address those Year 2000 issues that are subject to

the Company's reasonable control, there can be no assurance that the Company's
efforts in this regard will be fully effective or that Year 2000 issues will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations.
