   1. The unaudited financial information included in this report includes
      all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
      reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.  The
      operations for the six months ended May 2, 1998 are not necessarily
      indicative of the results of the full fiscal year.

      Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
      Securities Exchange Commission rules and regulations governing form 10-
      Q.  The condensed financial statements included in this report should
      be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
      included in the Registrant's November 1, 1997 form 10-K annual report.

   2. Inventories
      -----------

      Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market.  Cost of
      finished home inventories is determined on the specific identification
      method.  Other inventory costs are determined on a first-in, first-out
      basis.  Inventories at May 2, 1998 and November 1, 1997 are summarized 
      as follows:

   3.   Earnings Per Share
        ------------------

        Effective for the quarter ended January 31, 1998, the Company adopted
        FASB Statement on Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share.  
        The Statement simplifies the standards for computing earnings per 
        share by replacing the presentation of primary earnings per share 
        with a presentation of basic earnings per share.  Prior years have 
        been restated to reflect this change.   The following reconciliation 
        details the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and 
        diluted earnings per share for the respective periods:

   4.  Three-for-two Stock Split
       -------------------------

       On January 6, 1998, the Company declared a three-for-two stock split
       in the form of a stock dividend, payable on February 20, 1998 to
       shareholders of record as of January 30, 1998.  Fiscal 1997 stock-
       holders' equity has been restated to give the retroactive recognition 
       to the stock split in the prior period by reclassifying from additional 
       paid-in-capital to common stock the par value of the 1,485,297 shares 
       arising from the split.  In addition, all references to per share 
       amounts of the Company's common stock have been restated.

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

   Results of Operations
   ---------------------

       Net sales for the three months ended May 2, 1998 increased 18 percent 
   to $11,324,503 from $9,604,700 for the same period last year.  Net sales 
   for the six months also increased 18 percent to $21,930,468 from 
   $18,650,692 a year ago.  The increase in sales in 1998 was primarily due 
   to the same store sales volume at the Company's Prestige Home Centers 
   increasing 15 percent to $8,031,914 for the second quarter of 1998 from 
   $6,960,955 for the same period last year and increasing 15 percent to 
   $15,666,304 for the six months of 1998 from $13,626,527 for the same six 
   month period last year.

        Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 26.8 percent
   in the second quarter of 1998 from 25.9 percent for the same period last
   year.  For the six months gross profit, as a percentage of net sales,
   increased to 26.2 percent as of May 2, 1998 from 25.3 percent for the same
   six month period last year.  The increase in gross profit was primarily a
   result of improvements in the gross margins at both the manufacturing
   plants and retails sales centers. 

        Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net
   sales, declined to 13.3 percent in the second quarter of 1998 from 14.8
   percent for the second quarter last year.  For the six months selling,
   general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales,
   declined to 13.7 percent as of May 2, 1998 from 14.9 percent for the same
   six month period last year.  The decline in selling, general and
   administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was primarily due to a
   reduction in these expenses at the manufacturing plants.

        Other income for the second quarter of 1998 was $99,383 of which
   $72,826 was from interest on short term investments and $21,970
   represented undistributed earnings from Nobility 21 a joint venture which
   provides financing to Prestige's retail customers.  For the second quarter
   of 1997 other income was $68,433.  For the six months other income was
   $192,236 of which $136,645 was from interest on short term investments and
   $47,822 was undistributed earnings from Nobility 21.  For the same six
   month period last year other income was $93,812.

        As a result of the factors discussed above, net income for the second 
   quarter of 1998 increased 43% to $1,008,345 or $.23 per share, compared to
   $704,985 or $.16 per share in 1997.  For the six months ended May 2, 1998
   net income increased 45% to $1,808,657 or $.41 per share, compared to
   $1,246,197 or $.28 per share as of May 3, 1997.  Earnings per share for
   1997 have been restated to reflect a three-for-two stock split in the form
   of a 50% stock dividend paid on February 20, 1998.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources
   -------------------------------

        Cash and cash equivalents were $7,082,545 at May 2, 1998 compared to
   $6,293,924 as of November 1, 1997.  Accounts receivable - trade increased
   to $1,257,968 at May 2, 1998 from an abnormally low $386,019 at November
   1, 1997, but was down from $1,412,847 in second quarter ended May 3, 1997. 
     
        The Company maintains a revolving credit agreement with a major bank
   providing for borrowings up to $2.5 million and a second revolving line of
   credit agreement with a major bank which provides for borrowings up to
   $1.5 million.  These two agreements provide the Company with an additional
   $4.0 million of working capital for use in connection with its overall
   operations.  At May 2, 1998 there were no amounts outstanding under these
   agreements.

        Consistent with normal practice, the Company's operations are not
   expected to require significant capital expenditures during fiscal 1998. 
   Working capital requirements for the home inventory for  new sales centers
   will be met with  internal sources.
