                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Krause's
Furniture, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Krause's Sofa

fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in January.  This report is for the
unaudited first fiscal 1995 quarter (13 weeks) ended April 30, 1995.  Unaudited
operating and cash flow information has been presented for the comparable 1994
period.


         These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.  The
results of operations for the quarter  ended April 30, 1995 are not necessarily

4.       Long-term notes payable at April 30, 1995 consist of $4,805,000 of
secured revolving credit notes and $83,000 of other notes.  The secured
revolving credit notes were issued under a two-year revolving credit
arrangement entered into with a financial institution in January 1995.  The
credit agreement provides for revolving loans of up to $10 million based on the
value of inventories. As of April 30, 1995, borrowing under the revolving
credit is limited to approximately $7 million as defined in the agreement.
Substantially all of KSF's assets are pledged as collateral for the loans which
are guaranteed by the Company.  Interest on the loans is payable monthly at the
rate of 1.5% in excess of the prime rate.  KSF is required to maintain certain
financial covenants for working capital and stockholder's equity.  In addition
the credit agreement provided for a closing fee of $100,000 and a monthly
facility fee of $2,500.
         
5.       On June 1, 1995 all of the Company's Series B preferred stock was
converted into 1,190,000 shares of common stock. These conversions resulted in
a transfer of $2,677,000 from convertible preferred stock to common stock
($1,000) and capital in excess of par value ($2,676,000).

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarter Ended April 30, 1995  Compared to Quarter Ended May 1, 1994 

         Results for the quarter reflect both an industry-wide softness in
retail sales and the initial costs associated with the Company's efforts to
re-engineer its business.

         Soft consumer demand caused retail inventories to become inflated
throughout the industry and resulted in heavy promotional price discounting at
the retail level. Krause's made-to-order strategy minimized the inventory
impact on the Company, but did not insulate it from the sales softness and
competitive promotional pricing pressures. Higher levels of discounting versus
last year adversely impacted margins by approximately three percentage points.

         Net furniture sales for the first fiscal quarter 1995 were $32,251,000
which was an increase  of approximately 16.1% from net sales in the comparable
first quarter of 1994.  The sales increase was primarily attributable to sales
from new stores  and an 8% increase in same-store sales  in the first  quarter
1995 compared to the first quarter 1994.

         Gross margin was 53.1% of net sales in the first quarter 1995 compared
to 56.2% in the first quarter 1994.  The lower gross margins resulted  from
more product promotions (price discounts) and from higher freight costs
associated with proportionately higher sales in the East.  Margins were also
negatively impacted by an increase in raw material costs, primarily foams,
fiber and metal components.

         Selling expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 45.7% in the 
first quarter 1995 from 45.9% in the comparable period last year.  Selling 
expenses were $14,730,000 in the first quarter 1995 and $12,749,000 in the 
first quarter 1994.  The increase in total selling expenses was principally 
because of variable selling expenses attributable to higher sales, increased 
occupancy costs, payroll and operating expenses associated with five additional
showrooms open this year.  Advertising expenses also increased this year due to
media cost inflation and the increased number of showrooms.





                                       6
<PAGE>   9
         General and administrative expenses increased by $517,000 to
$3,379,000 in the first quarter 1995 from the first quarter last year.  As a
percentage of sales, general administrative expenses, exclusive of employee
termination costs of $415,000 in the first quarter 1995, decreased to 9.2% from
10.3%.  General administrative expenses were higher in the 1995 period
principally because of higher personnel costs and the previously mentioned
employee termination expenses.

         Interest expense decreased by $616,000 in the first quarter 1995
compared to the first quarter 1994 due principally to significantly less debt
outstanding in 1995.

         The Company's investment in Mr. Coffee, inc. was accounted for by the
equity method which resulted in equity in earnings of $170,000 in the first
quarter 1994.  The Company sold its investment in Mr. Coffee in August 1994.

         As a result of the above factors, net loss was $991,000 in the
quarter ended April 30, 1995 compared to a loss of $608,000 in the first
quarter 1994.  Net loss per share in the first quarter 1995 was $.09 based on
11,054,953 average shares outstanding.  In the comparable 1994 quarter the net
loss per share was $.06 on 10,469,036 average shares outstanding.

         No tax benefits are available for 1995 or 1994 operating losses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of April 30, 1995, the Company had $2,407,000  in cash and cash
equivalents compared to $1,952,000 as of January 29, 1995.

Cash Flow - Thirteen Weeks Ended April 30, 1995

         Cash and cash equivalents increased by $455,000 during the period.
Operating activities used net cash of $1,460,000 principally from a $391,000
cash loss from operations,  an increase in inventories of $211,000 and a
decrease in current liabilities of $1,110,000, offset by an increase in prepaid
expenses and other assets of $274,000.  Investing activities were capital
expenditures of $790,000 principally for costs of construction of a showroom in
Dallas and for additions to leasehold improvements of new showrooms.  The
Dallas showroom was sold for approximately $1 million cash in May 1995 and
leased back.  This sale and leaseback resulted in a $.4 million deferred profit
to be amortized over the term of the lease.  Financing activities included
$2,712,000 of net borrowings under a revolving credit agreement (see Note 3).

Cash Flow - Thirteen Weeks Ended May 1, 1994

         Cash and cash equivalents increased by $48,000 during the period.
Operating activities provided net cash of $355,000, principally from an
increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $1,270,000 offset by an
increase in inventories of $923,000.  Investing activities during the period
were capital expenditures of $203,000, principally for additions to leasehold
improvements of retail showrooms.  Financing activities during the period were
$104,000 of payments on short-term notes.

Outlook

         The Company's cash, expected cash flow from operations and credit line
are considered adequate to meet short-term cash requirements for operations and
capital expenditures.  As of April 30, 1995 there were no significant long-term
capital expenditure commitments.  The Company has a deficiency in working
capital of approximately $2.0 million.

         The industry-wide softness in sales which began early this year has 
continued into May and early June.  The Company's same-store sales in May 1995
were approximately 12.1% below comparable store sales in May last year.  
Industry analysts expect a continuation of sales softness through the summer 
with possible improvements later this year.

         Management believes that the reengineering program described above
will begin to produce improved results in the thrd and fourth fiscal quarters
this year. These improvements should buffer any short-term continuation of the 
softness in retail sales.

         In order to support working capital requirements, sustain growth and 
reduce liabilities, the Company may raise additional equity or debt in the 
future.

         Management has no knowledge of any trends or events that are likely to
substantially increase or decrease liquidity needs in the near future other
than as noted above or for acquisitions and expansion of the business that the
Company may undertake.
