   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 three months ended January 31, 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 January 31, 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 in the first quarter of 1998 increased 17.2 percent to 
   $10,605,965 as compared to $9,045,992 for the first quarter of 1997.  
   The increase in sales for the three months of 1998 was primarily due 
   to the same store sales volume at the Company's Prestige Home Centers 
   increasing 14.5% to $7,634,390 from $6,665,533 for the first quarter 
   of 1997.

        Gross profit in the first quarter of 1998 as a percentage of net
   sales was 25.5 percent compared to 24.5 percent for the same period last
   year. The increase in gross profit in first quarter 1998 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, was 14.2 percent in the first quarter of 1998 compared to 15.1
   percent for the same period last year.  The decline in first quarter 1998
   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 first quarter 1998 was $92,853 of which $63,819 was
   from interest on short term investments and $25,852 was undistributed
   earnings from the Nobility 21 financing joint venture, versus $25,379 in
   other income for the first quarter of last fiscal year.
     
        As a result of the factors discussed above, net income for the first 
   quarter of 1998 was $800,315 or $.18 per share, compared to $541,214 or 
   $.12 per share in 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 $6,355,568 at January 31, 1998
   compared to $6,293,924 as of November 1, 1997.  Accounts receivable -
   trade increased to $1,007,168 at January 31, 1998 from an abnormally low
   $386,019 at November 1, 1997, but was down from $1,586,767 in first
   quarter ended February 1, 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 January 31, 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.
