In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the
condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of April 29, 1995,
January 28, 1995, and April 30, 1994 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the quarters ended April 29, 1995 (first quarter of fiscal 1996)
and April 30, 1994 (first quarter of fiscal 1995) have been included. These
adjustments consist solely of normal recurring accruals. The results of
operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results
for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is
suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the
Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

                                  -----------

1)  Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
    determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis for approximately 96% of
    the inventory as of April 29, 1995, January 28, 1995 and April 30, 1994,
    using the retail method. The remaining inventory is valued on the first-in,
    first-out (FIFO) basis using the retail method. If the FIFO method had been
    used to value all inventories, cost would have been $1,894,000, $1,843,000,
    and $1,493,000 higher at April 29, 1995, January 28, 1995 and April 30,
    1994, respectively.

2)  Receivables are presented net of allowances for cancellation reserves and
    doubtful accounts of approximately $234,000 at April 29, 1995, $384,000 at
    January 28, 1995 and $345,000 at April 30, 1994.

3)  Leasehold rights are shown net of accumulated amortization of $2,462,000 at
    April 29, 1995, $2,409,000 at January 28, 1995 and $2,285,000 at April 30,
    1994.

4)  As previously reported, during fiscal 1995, Sussex Group, Ltd. ("Sussex", an
    indirect majority owned subsidiary of the Company), transferred or sold a
    total of 800,000 shares of Huffman Koos Inc. ("H-K") common stock to Jupiter
    Industries, Inc. ("Jupiter"). The transfer of 700,000 shares of this stock
    on February 4, 1994 was used to repay a $5,075,000 note payable to Jupiter.
    The remaining 100,000 shares of H-K common Stock was sold to Jupiter on
    November 30, 1994 for $800,000. As a result of the transfer and sale of
    these shares, the Company recognized a gain of $1,540,000 in fiscal 1995.
    This gain was recorded as an increase to paid-in capital and represents the
    difference between the amount of the note retired and cash received and the
    proportionate share of H-K net equity represented by these shares.

    Effective May 23, 1995, the Company through Sussex sold an additional
    150,000 shares of H-K common stock to Jupiter for $1,125,000. The Company
    expects to recognize a gain of approximately $175,000 in the second quarter
    of fiscal 1996 related to this sale. Such gain will be recorded as an
    increase to paid-in capital.

    Pursuant to the terms of the various stock purchase agreements (the
    "Agreements"), Sussex has been granted an option to repurchase any or all of
    the 950,000 H-K shares on or prior to February 4, 1996 for a purchase price
    ranging from $7.25 to $8.00 per share plus interest on such amount. The
    Agreements also contain a provision which requires Jupiter to vote the
    950,000 H-K shares for the election of a majority of the Board of Directors
    of H-K as Sussex shall direct. As a result of this voting provision, the
    Company through Sussex, retains effective control of H-K.

    As a result of the transactions described above, the Company and Jupiter now
    own 29.9% and 24.2%, respectively, of H-K's outstanding common stock based
    on the number of H-K shares currently outstanding.

5)  During the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and 1995, options to purchase 400
    and 2,200 shares, respectively, of common stock of H-K were exercised.
    Losses of $3,000 and $5,000, respectively, on the issuance of these shares
    were recorded by the Company with an increase to minority interest as H-K's
    net book value per share exceeded the option prices.

6)  Loss per share applicable to common and common equivalent shares is computed
    after recognition of the dividend requirements on redeemable preferred stock
    of $67,000 in fiscal 1996 and $46,000 in fiscal 1995.

                -----------------------------------------------
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 ---------------------------------------------

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

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2,044,000 during the quarter ended 
April 29, 1995 which included approximately $2,952,000 of net cash used in
operating activities. Accounts receivable decreased by $7,845,000 and the
undelivered sales liability decreased by $4,093,000 due to the record volume of
furniture delivery by Huffman Koos Inc. ("H-K") during the first quarter. These
deliveries generated cash receipts which were used to decrease accounts payable
and accrued expenses by $2,002,000. Inventory increased by approxi mately
$3,638,000 due to normal seasonal increases. Approximately $553,000 of net cash
was used in investing activities due solely to capital expenditures as described
below. Approximately $1,461,000 of net cash was provided by financing activities
due to net borrowings on lines of credit of $2,266,000 offset by scheduled debt
payments of $805,000.

Goldblatt's Department Stores, Inc. ("Goldblatt's") spent approximately $237,000
on capital expenditures during the first quarter of fiscal 1996 related to
normal capital maintenance. Goldblatt's capital expenditures for the balance of
fiscal 1996 will be minimal as no new store openings or major store renovations
are planned. Goldblatt's had remaining availability of $2,129,000 under its line
of credit as of April 29, 1995. The Company believes that Goldblatt's working
capital and line of credit will be adequate to fund current operations and
service the Company's indebtedness through fiscal 1996.

H-K spent approximately $316,000 on capital expenditures during the first
quarter of fiscal 1996, the majority of which related to the renovation of its
Bridgewater, New Jersey store. The remodeling was completed in May 1995 at a
total cost of approximately $450,000. This completes the refurbishing program
initiated in 1993 which encompassed the renovation of all of H-K's older stores.
H-K previously announced that it had executed a lease for a new store in
Norwalk, Connecticut. This store will open later this year. Total cost of
leasehold improvements for this location are expected to approximate $750,000
and will be funded from working capital. H-K had remaining availability of
$4,349,000 under its revolving line of credit at April 29, 1995. H-K's
operations and available line of credit are expected to adequately fund its
working capital requirements during the remainder of fiscal 1996. The assets of
H-K are restricted from transfer to the Company under the terms of its loan
agreements.

As previously reported, during fiscal 1995, Sussex Group, Ltd. ("Sussex", an
indirect majority owned subsidiary of the Company), transferred or sold a total
of 800,000 shares of Huffman Koos Inc. ("H-K") common stock to Jupiter
Industries, Inc. ("Jupiter"). The transfer of 700,000 shares of this stock on
February 4, 1994 was used to repay a $5,075,000 note payable to Jupiter. The
remaining 100,000 shares of H-K common Stock was sold to Jupiter on November 30,
1994 for $800,000. As a result of the transfer and sale of these shares, the
Company recognized a gain of $1,540,000 in fiscal 1995. This gain was recorded
as an increase to paid-in capital and represents the difference between the
amount of the note retired and cash received and the proportionate share of H-K
net equity represented by these shares.

Effective May 23, 1995, the Company through Sussex sold an additional 150,000
shares of H-K common stock to Jupiter for $1,125,000. The Company expects to
recognize a gain of approximately $175,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1996
related to this sale. Such gain will be recorded as an increase to paid-in
capital.

Pursuant to the terms of the various stock purchase agreements (the 
"Agreements"), Sussex has been granted an option to repurchase any or all of the
950,000 H-K shares on or prior to February 4, 1996 for a purchase price ranging
from $7.25 to $8.00 per share plus interest on such amount. The Agreements also
contain a provision which requires Jupiter to vote the 950,000 H-K shares for
the election of a majority of the Board of Directors of H-K as Sussex shall
direct. As a result of this voting provision, the Company through Sussex,
retains effective control of H-K. As a result of the transactions described
above, the Company and Jupiter now own 29.9% and 24.2%, respectively, of H-K's
outstanding common stock based on the number of H-K shares currently
outstanding.

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


QUARTER ENDED APRIL 29, 1995 (FISCAL 1996) VS.
- ----------------------------------------------
QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30, 1994 (FISCAL 1995)
- ------------------------------------------

Net sales decreased 3.9% over the prior year due to a 9.4% sales decline for the
quarter at Goldblatt's. This decrease was the result of cold and rainy weather
conditions, delays by the IRS in issuing tax refunds and a general slowing of
the economy. The entire Goldblatt's decline came in the first two months of the
quarter. Since then Goldblatt's has been on an upward trend showing a 12.0%
sales increase for April and a 3.0% increase for May. Huffman Koos sales were
essentially flat showing a modest .5% gain.

The Company's gross profit percentage remained relatively constant at 38.3% of
sales compared to 38.4% of sales in the prior year. H-K's gross profit
percentage remained constant at 43.6% of sales while Goldblatt's gross profit
percentage decreased to 31.0% of sales from 31.8% of sales in the prior year.
The decrease in Goldblatt's gross profit percentage is the result of an increase
in the inventory shrinkage reserve. Management increased the estimated reserve
in order to provide for potential errors in the new computer system for
recording promotional markdowns. Actual inventory shrinkage results will be
known when Goldblatt's completes its mid-year physical inventory count in July
1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased to 41.7% of
sales from 39.1% in the prior year. H-K's SG&A increased to 44.6% of sales from
42.1% of sales in the prior year while Goldblatt's SG&A increased to 35.7% of
sales from 33.4% of sales in the prior year. The increase at H-K is the result
of increases in handling and delivery expenses due to higher deliveries compared
to the prior year, increased costs in the customer service department where
investments were made in order to improve customer service levels, and increased
occupancy expense due to lease renewals. At Goldblatt's, the increase in SG&A
expense as a percentage of sales was due to the sales decline. Actual SG&A
expense at Goldblatt's was down approximately $185,000 as expense reductions
were achieved in virtually every cost center as management continues to see the
benefits of its January 1994 cost reduction program.

Interest expense increased because of increases in the prime rate of interest.
