RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On December 31, 1996, Rhodes, Inc. ("Rhodes"), a Georgia corporation, one

division of Heilig-Meyers and approximately 4.6 million shares of Heilig-Meyers

this transaction. As of January 31, 1997, Rhodes operated 105 stores in 15

PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
The following unaudited pro forma combined statements of earnings for the
year ended February 29, 1996 and the nine months ended November 30, 1996 give
effect to (i) acquisitions of certain assets from various entities by
Heilig-Meyers and by Rhodes that have occurred and (ii) the acquisition of
Rhodes (the "Merger"). The pro forma information is based on the historical
financial statements of Heilig-Meyers and Rhodes giving effect to the Merger
under the purchase method of accounting and the assumptions and adjustments
described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma financial
statements. The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives
effect to the acquisition of Rhodes as if it had been completed as of November
30, 1996.
The unaudited pro forma statements have been prepared by the management of
Heilig-Meyers and Rhodes based upon the historical information included herein
and other financial information. These pro forma statements do not purport to be
indicative of the results of operations or financial position which would have
occurred had the acquisition been made at the beginning of the periods or as of
the date indicated or of the financial position or results of operations which
may be obtained in the future.
Heilig-Meyers will account for the transaction under the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the cost to acquire Rhodes will be allocated to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed according to their respective fair
values. The final allocation of the purchase price is dependent upon certain
valuations and other studies that have not progressed to a stage where there is
sufficient information to make such a complete allocation in the accompanying
pro forma statements. Accordingly, the purchase allocation adjustments are
preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of preparing such pro
forma statements.

described in the Prospectus and will be limited to $100,000,000 aggregate
principal amount. The Notes will be issued only in book-entry form in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000, will bear interest
from February 15, 1997 at the annual rate set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus Supplement, and will mature on February 15, 2002. Interest will be
payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing
August 15, 1997, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the
close of business on the February 1 or August 1 next preceding such interest
payment date. The Notes will not be redeemable prior to their stated maturity
date and will not be entitled to any sinking fund.
Principal of and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or
agency of MacSaver to be maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, initially at First Union National Bank, 40 Broad Street, 5th Floor, Suite
500, New York, New York 10004; provided, however, that at the option of MacSaver
payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the registered Holders of the
Notes.
RANKING
The Notes will be unsecured obligations of MacSaver, will rank equally and
ratably with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of MacSaver and
will be unconditionally guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by
Heilig-Meyers. The Guarantees will be unsecured obligations of Heilig-Meyers and
will rank equally and ratably with all other unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness of Heilig-Meyers.
BOOK-ENTRY PROCEDURES
Upon issuance, all Notes will be represented by one or more fully
registered global notes (the "Global Notes"). Each such Global Note will be
deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depositary Trust Company, as Depositary
("DTC" or the "Depositary"), registered in the name of the Depositary or a
nominee thereof. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Notes
in definitive form, no Global Note may be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to
such Depositary.
The Depositary has advised MacSaver as follows: the Depositary is a
limited-purpose trust company organized under the Banking Law of the State of
New York, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the Banking Law of the
State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing
corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a
"clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the
Exchange Act. The Depositary was created to hold securities of its participants
(defined below) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement transactions
among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes
in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical
movement of securities certificates. The Depositary's participants include
securities brokers and dealers (including the Underwriters), banks, trust
companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations, some of whom
(and/or their representatives) own the Depositary. Access to the Depositary's
book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers
and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with
a participant, either directly or indirectly.
Ownership of beneficial interests in the Notes will be limited to persons
that have accounts with the Depositary ("participants") or other persons that
may hold interests through participants. The Depositary has advised MacSaver
that upon the issuance of the Global Notes representing the Notes, the
Depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the
participants' accounts with the respective principal amounts of the
S-9
<PAGE>
Notes. Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global Notes will be shown on,
and the transfer of such ownership interests will be effected only through,
records maintained by the Depositary (with respect to interests of participants)
and on the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons holding
through participants). The laws of some states may require that certain
purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive
form. Such limits and such laws may impair the ability to own, transfer or
pledge beneficial interests in Global Notes.
So long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a
Global Note, the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be
considered the sole owner or Holder of the Notes represented by such Global Note
for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of
beneficial interests in a Global Note will not be entitled to have the Notes
represented by such Global Notes registered in their names, will not receive or
be entitled to receive physical delivery of the Notes in definitive form and
will not be considered the owners or Holders thereof under the Indenture.
Accordingly, each Person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely
on the procedures of the Depositary and, if such Person is not a participant, on
the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest,
to exercise any rights of a Holder under the Indenture. MacSaver understands
that under existing industry practices, in the event that MacSaver requests any
action of Holders or that an owner of a beneficial interest in such a Global
Note desires to give or take any action which a Holder is entitled to give or
take under the Indenture, the Depositary would authorize the participants
holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take such action, and such
participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants
to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of
beneficial owners holding through them.
Payment of principal of, and interest on, Notes registered in the name of
the Depositary or its nominee will be made to the Depositary or its nominee, as
the case may be, as the Holder of the Global Notes representing such Notes. None
of MacSaver, the Trustee or any other agent of MacSaver or agent of the Trustee
will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating
to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests or for
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests. The Depositary, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest
in respect of a Global Note, will credit the accounts of the participants with
payment in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in
such Global Notes as shown on the records of the Depositary. Payments by
participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be governed
by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case
with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered
in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such participants.
If (x) the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary with respect to Global Notes or the Depositary ceases to be a
clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (y) MacSaver executes and
delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that the Global Notes
shall be transferable and exchangeable or (z) there shall have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default or an event which after notice or lapse of time,
or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the
Global Notes will be transferable or exchangeable for Notes in definitive form
of like tenor in an equal aggregate principal amount. Such definitive Notes
shall be registered in such name or names as the Depositary shall instruct the
Trustee. It is expected that such instructions may be based upon directions
received by the Depositary from participants with respect to ownership of
beneficial interests in such Global Notes.
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF HEILIG-MEYERS
In addition to the covenants set forth in the Prospectus, the following
covenants will be applicable to the Notes.

Charge, calculated for the immediately preceding period of four consecutive
fiscal quarters, after giving effect, on a pro forma basis as if incurred at the
beginning of such period, to such Debt and to any other Debt incurred since the
end of such period, would equal or exceed 1.15 to 1.00, except that

create or otherwise become liable in respect of (i) Debt of a Restricted
Subsidiary payable to Heilig-Meyers or to a Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) Debt

Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (vii)
above), provided that (A) the principal amount of such Debt does not exceed the
sum of the principal amount of the Indebtedness so extended, renewed,
refinanced, replaced or refunded plus all interest accrued thereon and all
related fees and expenses (including, without limitation, any payments made in
connection with the procurement of any required lender or similar consents), and
(B) for purposes of this clause (viii), Debt arising under bank loan facilities
may only be refinanced, replaced or refunded with other bank loan facilities or
