5.   Loss on Disposal of a Line of Business:

     Effective October 3, 1993, the Company elected to dispose of its wholly
owned Canadian subsidiary, Factory Carpet, which operated 37 retail stores in
Canada (including 8 Franchised Stores).  On May 20, 1994 the Company sold the
Canadian operations.  In connection with the disposition of Factory Carpet, the
Company recorded a charge to continuing operations of $2,500 in the second
quarter of 1994 and $8,651 in the third quarter of 1993.  The sales and related
expenses of Factory Carpet's operations have been eliminated from the individual
line items of the 1993 Condensed Consolidated Income Statement and the pre-tax
loss of this line of business has been included on a one-line basis in the loss
on disposal of a line of business as follows:
                                    
                                          Period Ended July 4, 1993
                                          -------------------------

                                          ------------    ----------
Net Sales                                     $ 6,593       $12,204 

Pre-tax loss                                 ($   434)     ($   780)

6.   Income Taxes:

     As a result of an ownership change, within the meaning of Section 382 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that occurred with respect to the
Company on May 14, 1990, the Company's ability to utilize approximately $52,347
of its net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes is limited to $4,977
per year.  No limitation currently is required by Section 382 with respect to
$36,140 of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards.  The Company
recognized reductions in federal tax expense primarily from the utilization of
its deductible temporary differences of $1,245 and $2,811 for the six months
ended July 3, 1994 and July 4, 1993, respectively.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                         (Amounts in Thousands)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------

THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 3, 1994, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 4, 1993.
- - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NET SALES.

     Net sales for the three months ended July 3, 1994 increased $37,792, or
28.7%, compared to the comparable prior year period.   The increase in sales
resulted primarily from (i) the addition of $23,407 in  sales of ABWF, (ii) a
7.4% increase in retail sales by Company stores open over one year and (iii)
increased franchise fees and royalties and sales of merchandise to
franchisees.  

COST OF SALES.

     Cost of sales increased by $25,850, for the three months ended July 3, 1994
compared to the comparable prior year period.  Cost of sales, as a percentage of
Net Sales, increased to 58.1% for the three months ended July 3, 1994 as
compared to 55.2% for the comparable prior year period.  This increase in cost
of sales resulted principally from a sales mix shift resulting from (i) the
addition of sales of ABWF, which operates on lower gross margins than Color
Tile, (ii) increased sales of carpet and related installation services and (iii)
increased sales of product to franchisees. 

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of
Net Sales to 31.7% for the three months ended July 3, 1994 as compared to 35.4%
for the comparable prior year period due to the Company's continued emphasis on
control of operating costs and the addition of ABWF, which operates on lower
operating expenses, as a percentage of Net Sales.  Such expenses increased in
aggregate dollar amount by $7,031 for the three months ended July 3, 1994 over
the comparable prior year period primarily due to (i) increases in
commission-based payroll due to higher sales, (ii) increased advertising
expenditures and (iii) the addition of ABWF's operating expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET.  

     Interest expense, net, increased $3,700 for the three months ended July 3,
1994 as compared to the comparable prior year period.  The increased interest
expense resulted from the issuance of the $200,000 principal amount of 10-3/4%
Senior Notes (the "Senior Notes") during the fourth quarter of 1993 and higher
interest rates on borrowings under the Company's bank facility (the "Senior
Credit Agreement"). 

PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS).

For the three months ended July 3, 1994, pre-tax loss was $828 as compared to
pre-tax income of $1,168 for the comparable prior year period.  The pre-tax loss
for the three months ended July 3, 1994 resulted primarily from the increase in
interest expense of $3,700 and the $2,500 loss on disposal of a line of
business, which was only partially offset by the $3,770, or 58.7%, increase in
operating profit. 
                                     8

INCOME TAXES.

     Income tax expense was $176 for the three months ended July 3, 1994
representing a decrease of $47 over the comparable prior year period.  The
Company recognized reductions in federal income tax expense primarily from the
utilization of its deductible temporary differences of $83 and $885 for the
three months ended July 3, 1994 and July 4, 1993, respectively.

NET INCOME (LOSS).

     Net loss was $1,004 for the three months ended July 3, 1994 as compared to
net income of $945 in the comparable prior year period.  The net loss resulted
primarily from increased interest expense of $3,700 and the $2,500 loss on
disposal of a line of business recorded during the current quarter.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 3, 1994 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 4, 1993.
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 NET SALES.

     Net sales for the six months ended July 3, 1994 increased $69,644, or
26.2%, compared to the comparable prior year period.   These sales increases
were achieved despite weak retail sales during January and February resulting 
from severe winter storms throughout much of the country and the earthquake 
in the Los Angeles area.  The increase in sales resulted primarily from (i) the
addition of approximately $47,263 in sales of ABWF, (ii) a 5.6% increase in 
retail sales by Company stores open over one year and (iii) increased franchise 
fees and royalties and sales of merchandise to Franchisees.   

     At July 3, 1994, there were 814 retail stores in operation selling the
Company's line of products, 105 of which were operated by Franchisees
("Franchise Stores").

COST OF SALES.

     Cost of sales increased by $50,914, for the six months ended July 3, 1994
compared to the comparable prior year period.  Cost of sales, as a percentage of
Net Sales, increased to 58.1% for the six months ended July 3, 1994 as compared
to 54.2% for the comparable prior year period.  This increase in cost of sales
resulted principally from a sales mix shift resulting from (i) the addition of 
sales  of  ABWF, which operates on lower gross margins than Color Tile, (ii)
increased sales of carpet and related installation services and (iii) increased
sales of product to franchisees. 

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of
Net Sales to 31.5% for the six months ended July 3, 1994 as compared to 35.4%
for the comparable prior year period due to the Company's continued emphasis on
control of operating costs and the addition of ABWF, which operates on lower
operating expenses, as a percentage of Net Sales, than Color Tile.  Such
expenses increased in aggregate dollar amount by $11,514 for the six months
ended July 3, 1994 over the comparable prior year period primarily due to (i)
increases in commission-based payroll due to higher sales and (ii) the addition
of ABWF's operating expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET.

     Interest expense, net increased $7,600 for the six months ended July 3,
1994 as compared to the comparable prior year period.  The increased interest 
expense resulted from the issuance of the Senior Notes during the fourth quarter
of 1993 and the higher interest rates on borrowings under the Senior Credit
Agreement.
                                     9 
<PAGE>

PRE-TAX INCOME.

     Pre-tax income for the six months ended July 3, 1994 was $1,341 as compared
to pre-tax income of $5,370 for the comparable prior year period.  Pre-tax
income for the six months ended July 3, 1994 decreased primarily due to the
increase in interest expense of $7,600 and the $2,500 loss on disposal of a line
of business, which was partially offset by the $5,291, or 33.4%, increase in
operating profit.

INCOME TAXES.

     Income tax expense was $342 for the six months ended July 3, 1994
representing a decrease of $181 over the comparable prior year period.  The 
Company recognized reductions in federal income tax expense primarily from the
utilization of its deductible temporary differences of $1,245 and $2,811 for the
six months ended July 3, 1994 and July 4, 1993, respectively.

NET INCOME

     Net income was $999 for the six months ended July 3, 1994 as compared to
net income of $4,847 in the comparable prior year period.  The decrease in net
income over the comparable prior year period resulted primarily from increased
interest expense  of $7,600 and the $2,500 loss on disposal of a line of
business.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------

     At July 3, 1994, the Company had $133,300 in outstanding Borrowings under
the Senior Credit Agreement, which bear interest at fluctuating rates, and
approximately $5,700 of availability under the Senior Credit Agreement.  At that
date, the average fluctuating interest rate on such Borrowings approximated 7.3%
per annum.  The Company was in compliance as of July 3, 1994 with all
restrictive covenants contained in the Senior Credit Agreement and the Senior
Note Indenture.

     During the remainder of fiscal 1994, the Company's principal payments due
under its outstanding long-term mortgage indebtedness and payments due under
capitalized leases will aggregate approximately $3,000.  The next mandatory
principal payment under the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Agreement
will be the quarterly payment of  $3,026 due in March 1996.  Approximately
$4,000 of total cash dividends will be payable on the Series A Shares during the
remainder of 1994.  In 1995, the Company's redeemable Senior Preferred Stock
will begin to accrue cash dividends of approximately $5,200 annually with the
first payment of approximately $2,600 occurring on July 15, 1995.  

     Capital expenditures for the six months ended July 3, 1994 were $11,191 as
compared to $4,951 for the six months ended July 4, 1993.  These capital
expenditures have been funded through cash flows from operations and the
revolving line of credit portion of the Senior Credit Agreement.  For the
remainder of fiscal 1994, the Company anticipates making additional capital
expenditures of approximately $7,000 to $8,000.
                                   10 
<PAGE>

     The Company believes that funds generated from operations, the revolving
line of credit portion of the Senior Credit Agreement, lease financings and
purchase money mortgages will provide sufficient resources to permit it to make 

all principal and interest payments on the Senior Notes and its other existing
indebtedness, to pay all cash dividend payments on the Series A Shares and to
finance all planned capital expenditures for the current fiscal year. 


IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES; SEASONALITY   
- - ----------------------------------------------------

     Inflation and changing prices have not historically had a material effect
on the Company's overall operations.  Generally, the Company has been able to
offset the effect of increases in product costs through a combination of price
increases, modifications in promotional strategies and the implementation of
operating efficiencies.  

     The Company's business shows some seasonal variation, with lower sales
levels generally occurring during the winter months.
