            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          April 30, 1995

Note 1.  Consolidated Financial Statements

     The consolidated financial statements included in this report
have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to
state fairly the information set forth therein.  Any such
adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.  Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is
suggested that these unaudited consolidated financial statements 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 January 31, 1995.

Note 2.  Accounting Policies

     The interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in
the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  While management
believes that the procedures followed in the preparation of interim
financial information are reasonable, the accuracy of some
estimated amounts is dependent upon facts that will exist or
calculations that will be accomplished at fiscal year end. 
Examples of such estimates include changes in the LIFO reserve
(based upon the Company's best estimate of inflation to date) and
management bonuses.  Any adjustments pursuant to such estimates
during the quarter were of a normal recurring nature.

Comparison of Three Months Ended April 30, 1995 and 1994

    Net sales in the first quarter ended April 30, 1995 were $87.4
million compared to $69.1 million in the prior year's comparable
period, representing an increase of $18.3 million or 26.5%.  This
increase is a result of 33 additional stores in the current quarter
compared to the prior year's first quarter and an increase in
comparable store merchandise sales of 1% for the quarter.  The
Company considers a store to be comparable after it has been open
six fiscal quarters.

    As of April 30, 1995, the Company had 165 stores compared to
132 stores one year earlier.  There were no stores opened or closed
during the first quarter of fiscal 1996 or 1995.  The Company
anticipates opening 30 to 35 new stores in fiscal 1996.  The
Company evaluates the performance of its stores on a continuous
basis and, based on an assessment of factors it deems relevant,
will close any store which is not adequately contributing to
company profitability.

    Gross profit of $21.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1996 (25.0% of net sales) was 18.8% higher than the $18.4 million
gross profit (26.6% of net sales) recorded in the first quarter of
fiscal 1995.  The decline in gross profit margin percentage is
primarily a result of increased competition in certain markets, the
introduction of personal computer sales into 34 stores, which have
a lower gross profit margin, and a decline in extended service
contract revenues as a percentage of net sales, which generally
have a higher gross profit margin.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter
ended April 30, 1995 were $18.6 million (21.3% of net sales), a
14.7% increase over the $16.3 million (23.5% of net sales) for the
quarter ended April 30, 1994.  The increase in expenses was
primarily attributable to higher payroll costs related to the
increased number of stores and increased sales, higher advertising
costs and general costs associated with more store locations.  The
reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses from
23.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 to 21.3% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 was primarily a result of more efficient
advertising for existing stores (expense as a percent of sales)
and the increase in the number of owned stores compared to leased 
stores.

    Income from operations was $3.2 million (3.7% of net sales) in
the first quarter of fiscal 1996, a 50.7% increase over $2.1
million (3.1% of net sales) for the first quarter of fiscal 1995. 
This improvement was primarily a result of increased sales volume
from new stores and lower advertising and occupancy costs relative
to sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

                                   11<PAGE>

    Interest expense increased to $691,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 from $322,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1995. 
This increase is primarily a result of additional mortgage debt of
$13.2 million since April 30, 1994 associated with more Company
owned store locations.

    The effective tax rate was approximately 39.5% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 and 1995.

    As a result of the foregoing, net income for the first quarter
of fiscal 1996 was $1.6 million, a 37.7% increase over $1.1 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Net cash used in operating activities was $7.5 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Operating cash flow was provided by
net income of $1.6 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $1.1
million.  The primary use of cash was an increase in inventory of
$15.9 million due to opportunistic buying and the addition of
seasonal air conditioning inventory.  This increase was partially 
offset by increased accounts payable of $9.6 million.  Changes in 
other working capital items also served to decrease cash by 
approximately $3.9 million.

    At April 30, 1995, working capital was $77.0 million compared
to $78.7 million at January 31, 1995.  The ratio of current assets
to current liabilities was 2.2 to 1 at April 30, 1995, and 2.4 to
1 at January 31, 1995.

    The Company had outstanding borrowings of $3.0 million on its
revolving line of credit at April 30, 1995 at an interest rate of 
9.0%.  At April 30, 1995, the Company had approximately $52.0 
million borrowing availability on the revolving line of credit 
after reduction for outstanding letters of credit.

    During fiscal 1996, the Company plans to open 30 to 35 REX
stores with anticipated capital expenditures of approximately $16
to $20 million.  Capital expenditures for the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 were $1.5 million and were primarily in-process store 
construction costs.  The Company believes it will be able to obtain 
long-term mortgage financing on a site-by-site basis for Company 
built or Company purchased store locations as stores are completed.
