                 SEAMAN FURNITURE COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

             The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
    statements include the accounts of Seaman Furniture Company, Inc. and
    its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
    transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

             In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
    condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments
    necessary to present fairly the results of consolidated operations for
    each of the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 1997 and
    January 31, 1996; the financial position at January 31, 1997 and the
    cash flows for the nine month periods ended January 31, 1997 and
    January 31, 1996. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring
    items. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes
    thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
    statements and notes for the years ended April 30, 1996 and 1995
    included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
    Securities and Exchange Commission.

             The interim financial results are not necessarily indicative
    of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.  NET INCOME PER SHARE

             Net income per share is based on the weighted average number
    of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
    Employee and director stock options are considered to be Common Stock
    equivalents; accordingly, 461,276 Common Stock equivalent shares have
    been included in the computation for the three and nine month periods
    ended January 31, 1997 using the treasury stock method.

- ------
                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended January 31, 1997 compared to Three Months Ended 
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
January 31, 1996
- ----------------

             Net sales for the three months ended January 31, 1997 of $63.3
    million increased by $7.0 million (12.4%) compared to net sales for the
    three months ended January 31, 1996. Comparable store sales were $61.0
    million and $56.3 million for the three months ended January 31, 1997
    and 1996 respectively, an increase of $4.8 million (8.5%). Management
    believes the increase in comparable store sales is primarily
    attributable to the prior year's severe winter weather conditions.

             Net finance charge income decreased from $3.5 million for the
    three months ended January 31, 1996 to $3.0 million for the three
    months ended January 31, 1997. This decrease is attributed to an
    increased amount of deferred interest credit promotions and a decrease
    in the customer accounts receivable balance.

             As a result of the foregoing, total revenues for the three
    months ended January 31, 1997 were $66.3 million, an increase of $6.5
    million (10.9%) from the comparable prior year period.

             Cost of sales,  including  buying and occupancy  costs, increased 
    $3.8 million (9.9%)  primarily due to the additional sales.

             Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2
    million (5.9%) principally due to the costs, including advertising and
    payroll, of operating six additional stores that opened in the January
    1996 quarter.

             As a result of the foregoing, income from operations was $2.2
    million for the three months ended January 31, 1997 compared to
    $749,000 for the three months ended January 31, 1996, an increase of
    approximately $1.5 million (199.2%).

             Net interest expense of $543,000 for the three months ended
    January 31, 1997 increased $316,000 (139.2%) from $227,000 for the
    three months ended January 31, 1996. This is primarily attributed to
    decreased interest income due to the Company's lower cash balance and
    to increased interest expense associated with the revolving credit line
    entered into in April 1996 and increased capital lease interest
    expense.

             The provision for income taxes for the three months ended
    January 31, 1997, is $730,000 compared to $187,000 for the three months
    ended January 31, 1996. The increase is primarily related to the
    increase in income before taxes.

                                  Page 7 of 13
<PAGE>
 
             As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income for the
    three months ended January 31, 1997 was $968,000 an increase of
    $633,000 (189%) compared to $335,000 for the three months ended January
    31, 1996.

NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED 
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
JANUARY 31, 1996
- ----------------

             Net sales for the nine months ended January 31, 1997 of $189.7
    million increased $17.9 million (10.5%) compared to net sales for the
    nine months ended January 31, 1996. The increase in net sales is
    attributed to the Company opening new stores. Comparable store sales
    were $172.2 million and $171.7 million for the nine months ended
    January 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively, an increase of $500,000 (.3%).

             Net finance charge income decreased from $10.9 million for the
    nine months ended January 31, 1996 to $9.5 million for the nine months
    ended January 31, 1997. This decrease is attributed to an increased
    amount of deferred interest credit promotions and a decrease in the
    customer accounts receivable balance.

             As a result of the foregoing, total revenues for the nine
    months ended January 31, 1997 were $199.2 million, an increase of $16.6
    million (9.1%) over the comparable prior year period.

             Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, increased
    $13.1 million (11.5%) principally due to the costs associated with the
    increased sales volume, and the warehousing and occupancy costs
    associated with opening six new stores during the January 1996 quarter.

             Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.9
    million (6.2%) principally due to the costs, including advertising and
    payroll, of operating six additional stores.

             As a result of the foregoing, income from operations was $5.9
    million for the nine months ended January 31, 1997 compared to $6.3
    million for the nine months ended January 31, 1996, a decrease of 6.2%.

             Net interest expense of $1.6 million for the nine months ended
    January 31, 1997, increased $1.1 million from $462,000 for the nine
    months ended January 31, 1996. This increase is attributed to decreased
    interest income due to the Company's lower cash balance and to
    increased interest expense associated with the revolving credit line
    entered into in April 1996 and increased capital lease interest
    expense.

                                  Page 8 of 13
<PAGE>
 
             As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income for the
    nine months ended January 31, 1997 was approximately $2.5 million, a
    decrease of $901,000 (26.7%) compared to $3.4 million for the nine
    months ended January 31, 1996.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
    -------------------------------

             At January 31, 1997 the Company had working capital of $65.7
    million, including cash and cash equivalents of $1.3 million. The
    Company's principal sources of liquidity are earnings before income
    taxes, depreciation and amortization and borrowings under the $40
    million Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement")
    with The Bank of New York Commercial Corporation and Fleet Bank N.A.
    (as successor by merger to Nat West Bank N.A.), as co-lenders. The
    Company's principal uses of cash are working capital needs, capital
    expenditures and debt service obligations, including capitalized lease
    costs.

             The Company's working capital decreased from $66.9 million at
    April 30, 1996 to $65.7 million at January 31, 1997. Cash and cash
    equivalents declined from $3.4 million at April 30, 1996 to $1.3
    million at January 31, 1997. As of January 31, 1997 the Company had
    stockholder's equity of $104 million. The Company's largest asset at
    such date was accounts receivable of $68.4 million (net of bad debt
    reserves). At January 31, 1997, $783,049 was outstanding under the Loan
    Agreement, including letters of credit of approximately $762,000. In
    addition at January 31, 1997 the Company had $13.2 million in other
    long term debt, consisting of a mortgage in connection with its Central
    Islip, New York warehouse facility (the "Central Islip Warehouse") and
    capitalized lease obligations.

             On November 8, 1996, the Company prepaid an industrial revenue
    Bond, which had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $3.7
    million, with proceeds received from Fleet Bank N.A. in the amount of
    approximately $6.2 million pursuant to a Mortgage Note ("Note") issued
    by the Company to Fleet. The Note, payable monthly and maturing on
    November 8, 2003, is secured by a Mortgage, Security Agreement and
    Assignment of Lease Rights covering the Company's Central Islip
    Warehouse. The balance of the proceeds was used to reduce the
    outstanding borrowing under the Loan Agreement.

             Capital expenditures were $2.2 million for the nine months
    ended January 31, 1997. These expenditures were primarily related to
    relocating one store, renovation of existing stores and the development
    of a radio frequency warehouse inventory control system. The Company
    expects to spend approximately $4 million in capital expenditures
    during the current fiscal year ending April 30, 1997, the majority of
    which will be related to the renovation and opening of new stores. The
    Company expects that the borrowing under the Loan Agreement together
    with cash from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's
    planned capital expenditures.
