              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.

Earnings per share and all shares outstanding have been restated to record
the effect of the 2-for-1 stock split on August 25, 1999.

NOTE B - CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.
This bulletin provides guidance on revenue recognition matters and, in
accordance therewith, the Company changed its method of recognizing sales
effective January 1, 2000. Under the new method, revenue from merchandise
sales is recognized upon delivery to the customer. Previously, the Company
recognized revenue for sales of merchandise when certain criteria were met,
such as receipt of full payment, credit approval for charge sales and
merchandise in stock. These conditions were typically met at the point of
sale. The Company changed its method of revenue recognition on January 1,
2000. Accordingly, it is impractical to determine income utilizing the billed
method for the first quarter of 2000. Revenues recognized in the first
quarter of 2000 that were included in undelivered sales at December 31, 1999,
aggregated approximately $19,000,000. The cumulative effect of the accounting
change decreased net income by $3,356,000 or $0.15 per share and was recorded
in the three months period ended March 31, 2000. The pro forma amounts shown
below have been adjusted assuming that the change in the revenue recognition
method had occurred prior to January 1, 1999 (in thousands, except per share
data):

NOTE C - 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.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain statements we make in this report, and other written or oral statements
made by or on behalf of the Company, may constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Examples of such statements
in this report include descriptions of our plans with respect to new store
openings and relocations, our plans to enter new markets and expectations
relating to our continuing growth. These statements are subject to certain risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
company's historical experience and its present expectations or projections.
Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable;
however, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Such statements
speak only as of the date they are made and we undertake no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of
future events, new information or otherwise. The following are some of the
factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from
the expected results described in the Company's forward-looking statements; the
ability to maintain favorable arrangements and relationships with key suppliers
(including domestic and international sourcing); conditions affecting the
availability and affordability of retail real estate sites; the ability to
attract, train and retain highly qualified associates to staff corporate
positions, existing and new stores and distribution facilities; general economic
and financial market conditions, which affect consumer confidence and the
spending environment for big ticket items; competition in the retail furniture
industry, changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting
standards, tax statutes or regulations.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

The Company changed its accounting method for recognizing revenues on January
1,2000, and is now recording merchandise sales upon delivery to the customer.
Historically, sales were recognized and "billed" prior to delivery when certain
criteria were met, such as receipt of full payment, credit approval for charge
sales and merchandise in stock. The change is consistent with new guidance on
revenue recognition provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 - Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. The
implementation of this change was accounted for as a change in accounting
principle and applied cumulatively as if the change occurred at January 1,
2000.

Net sales for the first quarter of 2000 increased 12.5% to $163.7 million
compared to pro forma sales of $145.6 million for the first quarter of 1999. It
is not practical for the Company to compute comparable-store sales utilizing the
new delivered basis of revenue recognition. Calculated on the billed basis,
comparable-store sales increased 9.5% for the quarter. The Company's two largest
markets, Dallas and Atlanta, and its Florida region continued to experience the
strongest comparable-store sales increases. A store's results are included in
the comparable-store sales computation beginning with the one-year anniversary
of its opening, expansion, or the date when it was otherwise non-comparable.
Management believes that the sales increases are attributable to the economic
strength of its target customer and the Company's focus on brand name products
and effective merchandising in its stores.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS
                                   (Continued)

Gross profit, as a percent of sales, was 48.0% for the first three months of
2000 compared to 47.3% for the comparable pro forma period of 1999. These
improved margins are primarily attributable to the reduced level of promotional
activity and refinements in the Company's product mix. Additionally, the higher
levels of associated delivery charges and product care and protection revenues
have contributed to the increased margins.

First quarter credit service charge revenues decreased to 2.1% of net sales from
2.7% on a pro forma basis in the prior year period. This reduction is due to a
lower average outstanding accounts receivable portfolio and to a shift toward
more consumer usage of the "12 month no interest with 12 equal payments"
promotion rather than deferred-payment promotions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of net sales
increased to 41.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from 41.2% in the
prior year period on a pro forma basis. The shift in the level of attention to
shortened delivery cycles to the customer resulted in increases in warehouse and
delivery costs, particularly in markets where the sales increases were highest.
Management believes that these increases are temporary and expects these
expenses will return to their prior year's level during the second half of 2000.

The provision for doubtful accounts, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to
0.6% for the first quarter of 2000 from 0.9% for the first quarter of 1999 on a
pro forma basis. This reduction reflects the continuing trend of decreased
delinquencies and bankruptcies experienced by the Company over the last two
years. These combined factors led to a $100,000 reduction in the first quarter
provision for doubtful accounts as prescribed by the Company's methodology for
calculating the required allowance. Management does not expect any significant
changes in the current consumer credit environment with respect to its target
customers for the remainder of 2000.

Interest expense decreased $0.2 million and, as a percent of net sales, to 1.8%
from 2.1% for the first quarter. The Company's average debt level was 8.2% lower
and the effective interest rate was 12 basis points higher as compared to the
year-ago period.

Income before the cumulative effect of an accounting change, as a percent of
sales, was 4.0% for the first quarter of 2000 and 3.7% for the first quarter of
1999 on a pro forma basis. Diluted earnings per share before the cumulative
effect of an accounting change were $0.30 and $0.24 pro forma, for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

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 $3.2 million during
the first three months of 2000. The $12.7 million increase in inventory during
the first quarter was higher than anticipated. The Company intends to reduce
inventory levels in the second quarter.

Investing activities used $5.2 million of cash during the three months ended
March 31, 2000. Capital expenditures during the period were $7.5 million for
leasehold improvements, equipment and furniture and fixtures associated with the
Company's relocation of its corporate offices as well as new store construction
and renovations that will be completed later in the year.

        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (Continued)

Financing activities provided $2.1 million of cash during the first quarter of
2000 including $14.4 million in increased borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facilities. Financing activities also included the use of $9.7
million for the acquisition of treasury stock.

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 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 (83.2% of total debt was fixed or
interest rate protected as of March 31, 2000). The Company's average effective
interest rate on all borrowings (excluding capital leases) was 7.2% at March 31,
2000.

Capital expenditures for the remainder of 2000 are presently expected to include
the construction of three new store locations in existing markets, improvements
to two new leased store locations, the remodeling of two existing stores, and
the expansion and remodeling of two existing stores. The preliminary estimate of
capital expenditures in 2000 is approximately $40 million, which also includes a
portion of the construction costs for three new stores which will open in 2001.
Management expects that there will be disposition costs for stores to be
relocated, which will likely offset any gains generated from the sale of the
recently vacated former corporate office of the Company. 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.
