Recent Developments
In late November 1994, the Company was advised by KPMG Peat Marwick
("Peat"), its independent auditors at the time, that its method of accounting
for certain of its licensees should be changed and would likely require a
restatement of previously announced financial results. The financial
statements included herein consolidate the operating losses for certain
limited partnership licensees (the "LP's"), to the extent such losses exceed
the capital contributions of the limited partners. In addition, on December 2,
1994, a special committee of the Company's Board of Directors delivered a
summary report which concluded that the Company had meritorious claims against
three members of its management, an affiliated private company (the "Private
Company") and others. The Company announced these matters publicly in a press
release on December 2, 1994. In March 1995, the Company received a response to
such report prepared on behalf of one of the members of its management which
concluded that there were no valid claims. The Company and certain of its
management became involved in class action and derivative litigations relating
to the matters referred to above and, on May 3, 1995, the Securities and
Exchange Commission commenced an investigation relating to such matters. On
May 2, 1995, BDO Seidman, the Company's auditors for the 1993 fiscal year,
advised the Company that BDO Seidman, had withdrawn its opinion with respect
to the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31,
1993. In March 1996, the Company announced that it had entered into memoranda
of understanding ("MOUS") with the other parties in the class action and
derivative litigations (other than Selig Zises, Peat and BDO Seidman) for the
purpose of settling such litigations. The transactions set forth in the MOUS
and the settlement of such litigation are subject, among other things, to
execution of definitive documentation and Court approval.
The Company is simultaneously filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended August 27, 1994, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended August 26, 1995 (collectively, the "Annual Reports") and its
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended November 26, 1994,
February 25, 1995, May 27, 1995, November 25, 1995, February 24, 1996 and May
25, 1996 (the "Quarterly Reports"). Certain of the information contained in
this Quarterly Report is out of date and, accordingly, this Quarterly Report
should be read in conjunction with the Annual Reports and the other Quarterly
Reports. Unless otherwise set forth herein, the term the "Company" includes
Jennifer Convertibles, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its direct or
indirect subsidiaries.

For the Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended May 27, 1995
(In thousands except for share amounts)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of
Jennifer Convertibles, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") and certain
licensees have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Due to many factors inherent in
the retail industry and the matters described in "Recent Developments" above,
operating results for the interim period ended May 27, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
August 26, 1995. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended August 27, 1994 and the Report of Management.
The Company is unable to report consolidated quarterly financial
information for the prior year because the financial records of the L.P.'s had
not been maintained in accordance with the Company's fiscal reporting periods.
Instead, the Company has made comparisons of the results of operations by
itself without the consolidation of the L.P.'s with the same results for the
prior year periods. The trends reported for the Comapny alone are not
necessarily indicative of results of the consolidated Company for the fiscal
year.
(2) Merchandise Inventories
Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on
the first-in, first-out method) or market and are physically located, as
follows:
5/27/95 8/27/94
-------- -------
Showrooms $ 4,741 $ 4,685
Warehouses 4,665 5,463
-------- -------
$ 9,406 $10,148
======== =======
Vendor discounts and allowances in respect to merchandise purchased by
the Company are included as a reduction of inventory and cost of sales.

(3) Commitments, Contingencies and Other Matters
Conclusions of the Independent Committee
A draft complaint ("Complaint") on behalf of an unnamed plaintiff was
delivered to the Company in March, 1994. The Complaint raised certain issues
and potential causes of action that may exist in favor of the Company against
the Private Company and others. The Company's President advised the Board of
Directors that, in his view, the Complaint was without merit. The Board
appointed an independent committee (the "Committee") consisting of one
director to investigate the allegations in the Complaint and certain other
matters.
On November 22, 1994, the same director who was on the Committee
submitted a letter to the President of the Company which contained information
relevant to the (1) Funding of a licensee ("S.F.H.C.") and (2) the funding of
Limited Partnerships (L.P.'s) III through V. The letter essentially detailed
the flow of funds from the Private Company, certain Unconsolidated Licensees
and the Company to S.F.H.C. and its subsidiary ("Summit") regarding these
transactions. Additionally, it disclosed that as of August 27, 1994, S.F.H.C.
has a receivable from officers of $1,861. It asserted "that neither (a) the
payment to fund S.F.H.C.'s purchase of the stock of Summit nor (b) the capital
contributions to L.P.'s III through V were obtained from sources outside the
Company or the Private Company".
On December 2, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company received
the Summary Report of Counsel to the Independent Committee which, amongst
other matters, concluded that it "has reviewed many significant related party
transactions and recommends to the Board that the Company assert claims to
recover damages for harm caused the Company". On January 26, 1995, the Board
of Directors received the "Final Report of Counsel to the Independent
Committee of the Board of Directors" which reached the same conclusions and
recommendations.
On March 10, 1995, the Board of Directors received the "Response of
Harley Greenfield to the January 26, 1995 Final Report of Counsel to the
Independent Committee" that asserted that there were no valid claims. On April
3, 1995 it received a similar response from a financial consultant to the
Company to the letter dated November 22, 1994 from Michael Colnes to Harley
Greenfield" that asserted that there was nothing improper.

(In thousands except for share amounts)
Class Action and Derivative Action Lawsuits
Between December 6, 1994 and January 5, 1995, the Company was served
with eleven class action complaints and six derivative action lawsuits which
deal with losses suffered as a result of the decline in market value of the
Company's stock as well as the Company having "issued false and misleading
statements regarding future growth prospects, sales, revenues and net income".
The Company and its counsel are attempting to resolve the lawsuits but
they can not presently determine the ultimate outcome of such resolutions and
its impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Securities and Exchange Commission Investigation
On December 9, 1994, the Company was advised that the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) was conducting an inquiry of the Company's affairs
"to determine whether there have been violations of the federal securities
laws". The SEC requested that the Company voluntarily provide certain
documents in connection with its December 2, 1994 press release "concerning
the adjustment in the valuation of certain subsidiaries on the Company's
balance sheet". Since that date, the SEC has also requested the Final Report
of Counsel to the Independent Committee of the Board of Directors and the
November 22, 1994 letter from a director of the Company to the President (as
more fully described above). Additionally, the SEC requested the "responses"
to these documents and the Company furnished them with the "Response of Harley
Greenfield to the January 26, 1995 Final Report of Counsel to the Independent
Committee" dated March 10, 1995 and the "Response of Jerome I. Silverman to
the letter dated November 22, 1994 from Michael Colnes to Harley Greenfield"
dated April 3, 1995.
On May 3, 1995 the SEC commenced a formal investigation into the
affairs of the Company. Subpoenas have been issued to the Company to furnish
various contracts and accounting records which have been complied with. The
outcome of the SEC investigation is not presently determinable.
NASDAQ Suspension
Effective April 17, 1995, the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Committee
(the "Qualifications Committee") reviewed the request of the Company for an
extension of its current exception to the filing requirements for continued
listing on the NASDAQ National Market. The Qualifications Committee determined
to deny the Company's request and accordingly, the Company's Common Stock was
delisted from the NASDAQ stock market.

(4) Subsequent Events
Settlement of Derivative Litigation:
In March 1996, the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding
("Derivative Memorandum") for the purpose of settling all of the claims
involving those parties in the derivative litigation. The Derivative
Memorandum is subject to a settlement of all claims against the Company, its
present and/or former officers, directors, certain accountants, consultants
and representatives, the Private Company, its present and/or former officers,
directors, employees, accountants, consultants and/or representatives and the
discontinuance of the class action litigation presently pending. It also is
conditioned upon mutual releases between the Company and the Private Company.
Attorney's fees will be funded by an insurance carrier for one of the
defendants other than the Company for $500. The Private Company will pay $165
in cash and the Company will pay the remaining portion of fees and expenses in
("Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock will have an aggregate value of $130,
paying an annual dividend of 7% and convertible into Common Stock (at such
time as the Company's Common Stock trades at $7.00 per share or higher) at
$7.00 per share. This settlement is subject to execution of definitive
documents and final court approval. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 5,
the $130 value of the Preferred Stock has been accrued at August 26, 1995 as
part of estimated settlement costs.
Settlement of Class Action Litigation:
In March 1996, the Company and the parties in the class action
litigation signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("Class Memorandum") which is
subject to a Stipulation of Settlement to be submitted to the court for final
approval.
The Class Memorandum provides for the payment to certain members of
the class and their attorneys of an aggregate maximum amount of $7,000 in cash
and Preferred Stock having a value of $370. (Terms and conditions of such
Preferred Stock are described above.) The cash portion of the settlement will
be funded entirely by insurance company proceeds. In accordance with FASB
Statement No. 5, the $370 value of the Preferred Stock has been accrued at
August 26, 1995.
The proposed settlement of the class action litigation is a claims
made settlement. All claimants who purchased the Company's Common Stock during
the period from December 9, 1992 through December 2, 1994 and who held their
stock through December 2, 1994, will be entitled to participate in the
settlement.

For the Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended May 27, 1995
(In thousands except for share amounts)
Settlement with the Private Company:
The Company signed an agreement ("Settlement Agreement") with the
Private Company subject to execution of definitive agreements and court
approval and settlement of the derivative and class action litigation. The
Settlement Agreement restructures the relationship between the Private Company
and the Company in order to reduce and eliminate any alleged actual or
potential conflicts of interest.
A) (Warehouse Services):
The Settlement Agreement contemplates that until December 31, 1997,
the Company will pay the Private Company for all services under the
warehousing agreement 8.3% of the retail sales prices, less the costs of
certain services that will be assumed by the Company previously provided by
the Private Company, but no lower than 7.2% of sales. For 1998, the fee will
be 7.2%. Upon the effective date, the Company will no longer pay the Private
Company separately for "fabric protection" services. The Company has also
agreed to pay an additional warehouse fee during the calendar year 1996 if the
total retail sales of the Company are less than $135 million. The Company will
pay the Private Company $65 for each million dollar shortfall in annual sales,
adjusted quarterly based upon current sales projections, up to $650. The
Company has also agreed to pay a re-delivery fee to the Private Company of 3%
of selling price for customer deliveries that have to be redelivered to
customers under certain circumstances. In 1997 and 1998, if an annual sales
level of $140 million is achieved, the Private Company will pay back 50% of
previous shortfall payments in each of such years. To the extent the shortfall
is not so repaid in full, starting on January 1, 1999, the Private Company
will repay the balance of the shortfall over seven years without interest.
B) (Assignment of Real Property Interests of Warehouses):
The Settlement Agreement contemplates that, effective January 1, 1999,
the Company will receive all real property interests in the various warehouses
serving the business along with the leasehold interests subject to mortgages
and other security agreements. Such mortgage obligations will not exceed
$2,850 at December 31, 1998. To the extent that the aggregate of all such
mortgages is less than this amount as of that date, the Company will pay the
Private Company the difference between $2,850 and the actual amount of such
mortgages by way of set-off against the Private Company's obligation to the
Company for warehousing services.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended May 27, 1995
(In thousands except for share amounts)
C) (Warehouse Services to the Private Company):
Commencing January 1, 1999, the Company will provide the Private
Company all warehousing services for 2% of the Private Company's delivered
retail selling prices, plus a fee for "fabric protection" services.
D) (Freight Charges):
The Company will continue to pay all freight charges (for inventory
delivered to warehouses) through December 31, 1998, based upon an agreed
schedule with the Private Company.
E) (Assignment of Interest in Certain Limited Partnerships and
Other Corporate Licensee):
The Private Company will purchase the interests of the limited
partnerships known as LP III, LP IV, LP V, LP VI, LP VII and LP VIII and the
equity interest of the shareholders of S.F.H.C. and assign these interests to
the Company. The Company, in turn, will release the limited partners and the
shareholders, officers and directors of S.F.H.C. from all claims and/or
obligations owed to the Company.
Although it is not reflected in the Settlement Agreement, it is
currently contemplated that the limited partners of the Partnerships will
receive new ten year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 180,000 shares of
Common Stock at $7.00 per share. It is also contemplated that the limited
partners will also retain the Original Warrants. There is no signed agreement
with the limited partners as to the transfer of the Partnerships and S.F.H.C.
described above and there can be no assurance that the Private Company will be
able to obtain such agreements. If the Private Company is unable to obtain
such agreements and to make the transfer, the settlement will not be
consummated on the various terms outlined herein or possibly, at all.
F) (Inter-Company Accounts):
The Private Company will pay the Company under the offset agreement
(described in J, below) $1,400 in resolution of certain inter-company account
balances as of August 26, 1995 at $17 per month to be applied toward principal
and interest at 6%, until repaid.

G) (License of Computer Programs):
Commencing January 1, 1999, the Private Company will license the
Company to use and change the Private Company's computer programs without fee.
The Company will also assume the obligations and personnel of the Computer
Department, presently maintained by the Private Company.
H) (Warranty and Fabric Protection):
Upon execution of the Settlement Agreement, the Company will be
responsible for any claims for breach of warranty relating to "fabric
protection" in connection with sales by both the Company and the Private
Company.
I) (Amounts Due From Officers of S.F.H.C. of $1,200):
The Private Company will assume and pay $1,200 of the debt of the
officers of S.F.H.C. owed to S.F.H.C. This amount will be paid to the Company
in 84 equal monthly installments, without interest, beginning January 1, 1999.
J) (Offset Agreements):
On November 1, 1995 and March 1, 1996, the Company and the Private
Company entered into offset agreements. Such offset agreements permit the two
companies to offset their current obligations to each other for merchandise
purchases, warehouses fees, fabric protection fees and freight. The agreement
contemplates that amounts owing in excess of $1,000 at any time will be paid
in cash. As part of the offset agreement, the Private Company agreed to assume
certain liabilities owed to the Company by the Unconsolidated Licensees.
K) (Royalties):
The Unconsolidated Licensees will pay to the Company any royalties
owed under the offset agreement. The Private Company will pay royalties owed
of $100 for stores that the Unconsolidated Licensees have closed commencing
January 1, 1999 in 84 equal monthly installments without interest.

Credit and Security Agreement with Klaussner:
On March 5, 1996, the Company and Klaussner executed a Credit and
Security Agreement that provides the following:
A) Klaussner effectively extended the payment terms for merchandise
shipped from 60 days to 81 days and was provided with the following:
1) A security interest in all the Company's assets including accounts
receivable, inventory, store fixtures and equipment, as well as the
assignment of leaseholds, trademarks and a licensee agreement to
operate the Company's business in the event of default and non-payment
of the Company's guaranty.
2) The common stock holdings of Harley Greenfield, Edward Seidner and
Fred Love, President of the Private Company have been pledged along
with the pledge of the Private Company's stock interest in the Company.
B) In addition, Klaussner agreed to lend $1,440 to the Private Company. The
$1,440 was used to pay down the mortgage obligation of the warehouse
corporation. In this connection, the Company's guarantee to the mortgagor was
reduced to the lesser of 60% of the mortgage or $1,440 and the Company's bank
revolving credit agreement was terminated. The mortgage obligation has a new
maturity date of June 30, 1996. The $1,440 is in addition to $3,500 due from
the Private Company to Klaussner outstanding at August 26, 1995, which
liability was incurred by the Private Company prior to January 1, 1994.
Agreement of Sale of Inwood, New York Warehouse:
On March 7, 1996, the Private Company entered into an agreement
("Agreement") of sale for the Inwood, New York warehouse which has been the
principal warehouse in the distribution system. The Agreement contemplates
that, if consummated, the Company will receive from the Private Company
payments of $25 per month for 84 months commencing January 1, 1999. The
Agreement also contemplates that, effective December 1, 1996, the warehouse
fee will be reduced to 7.2% of the retail sales prices and fabric protection
revenue collected from customers. The Company's guarantee will be extinguished
upon full payment of the related mortgage.
On June 30, 1996, the Private Company completed the sale of the
Inwood, New York warehouse and the Company's guarantee was terminated.

Partnership Restructuring Agreements
On September 26, 1996, a Partnership Restructuring Agreement ("PRA")
was signed which had an effective date of November 1994. This PRA eliminated
the Agreements for LP's VI, VII and VIII and took $50 of the original capital
contributions for these LP's (total $150) and applied such funds as a payment
towards the original Warrants received by the limited partners in connection
with LP's III, IV and V. This transaction has been reflected in the financial
statements at August 27, 1994 and August 26, 1995. In addition, the warrant
notes aggregating $300 for the remaining 180,000 original Warrants have been
extended for ten years (with 10% of principal due annually) and will bear
interest at 7.12% per annum. For each annual principal payment which is not
made, 10,564 of the outstanding original Warrants shall be cancelled.
Subordination of Private Company Indebtedness to Harley Greenfield
and Edward Seidner
Subject to court approval of the Settlement Agreement, Messrs.
Greenfield and Seidner have agreed to subordinate, until January 1, 1999 their
right to receive payments in respect of the $10,273 owed to them by the
Private Company, if the Private Company is in default in the payment of any
cash obligation to the Company arising after August 7, 1996 after giving
effect to any offsets as between Messrs. Greenfield and Seidner and the
Private Company. Such subordination does not apply to any distribution in
respect of a disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Private
Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
that involve certain risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results
could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements.
In December 1994, the Company determined that the operations of the
LP's should be consolidated with those of the Company. The Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 26, 1994 reports the Company's
results for such years on a consolidated basis. However, the Company is unable
to report quarterly financial information including the operations of the LP's
for the prior year because the financial records of the L.P.'s had not been
maintained in accordance with the Company's fiscal reporting periods.
Accordingly, for purposes of this section, the discussion compares only the
results of the Company's operations by itself without the consolidation of the
L.P.'s to its results for the prior year periods (which also do not include
the LP's). The trends, discussed below, for the Company alone are not
necessarily indicative of trends of the Company, together with the LP's. Set
forth below is a summary Statement of Operations prepared on the Company
without the LP's:

Results of Operations:
Net Sales:
Thirteen Weeks Ended May 27, 1995:
The Company's sales increased by 44.5% to $19,672 for the thirteen
weeks ended May 27, 1995 as compared to $13,607 for the same period in the
prior year. Comparable store sales (those open for the entire period in the
current and prior year periods) declined by 4.5%. Prior year sales have not
been restated to reflect the acquisition of Jennifer L.P. II acquired on
September 1, 1994. Including those sales in both periods, comparable store
sales would have declined by 6.8%. The significant increase in sales in the
current period is attributable to the opening of 29 new Jennifer Leather
stores in the period January 1, 1994 to May 27, 1995.
Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended May 27, 1995:
The Company's sales increased by 63.0% to $59,750 as compared to
$36,662 for the same period in the prior year. Comparable store sales declined
by 3.8%.
Cost of Sales:
Thirteen Weeks Ended May 27, 1995:
Cost of sales increased to $13,679, 69.5% as a percentage of sales, in
the thirteen weeks ended May 27, 1995 from $8,358, 61.4% as a percentage of
sales, in the comparable prior year period, an increase of 63.7%. The dollar
increase of $5,321 is mainly attributable to the higher sales levels
(discussed above) and a lower mark-up on sales of Jennifer Leather.
Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended May 27, 1995:
Cost of sales increased by 79.8% to $41,288, 69.1% as a percentage of
sales, as compared to $22,957, 62.6% as a percentage of sales, for the same
period in the prior year. The increase is mainly attributable to the higher
sales levels (discussed above) and a lower mark-up on sales of Jennifer
Leather.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:
Thirteen Weeks Ended May 27, 1995:
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,219, 31.6% as a
percentage of sales, as compared to $4,851, 35.7% as a percentage of sales,
for the prior period, an increase of $1,368 or 28.2%. The increase in expenses
was primarily attributable to the higher level of sales and the attendant
related expenses to support the larger Company. The principal expenses that
increased were salaries and advertising.
Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended May 27, 1995:
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $19,541, 32.7% as a
percentage of sales, as compared to $12,717, 34.7% as a percentage of sales,
for the prior period, an increase of $6,824, or 53.7%. Higher sales levels for
the period created this increase which was primarily in advertising and
salaries.
The Company has provided an additional reserve for losses in
connection with additional amounts due from Unconsolidated Licensees in the
amount of $420 in the quarter ended May 27, 1995. This amount is in addition
to the reserve established at August 27, 1994 of $3,284.
Loss from Store Closings:
The Company accrued $419 in the thirty-nine weeks ended May 27, 1995
to provide for the attendant costs in connection with the commencement of a
program to close marginable and unprofitable stores.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The discussion provided below relates to the Consolidated Balance
Sheets at May 27, 1995 and August 27, 1994 included herein. Such consolidated
balance sheets include the accounts of the LP's.
At May 27, 1995, the Company had an aggregate working capital
deficiency of $(7,842) compared to available working capital of $1,240 at
August 27, 1994. At May 27, 1995, the Company had available cash and cash
equivalents of $3,328 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $13,089 at
August 27, 1994. The decrease in cash since August 27, 1994 is due principally
to net cash used in operating activities and capital expenditures of $3,479 to
finance the opening of new stores.

(In thousands except for share amounts)
In light of the filing of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended May 25, 1996 (the "1996 Report") simultaneously
with the filing of this report, the balance of the discussion on liquidity has
been taken from the more recent 1996 report.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company assumed the responsibility of
purchasing inventory which responsibility was previously performed by the
Private Company. Accordingly, the Company acquires inventory for resale to its
affiliates and licensees. A portion of the inventory acquired for resale is
financed by normal trade credit terms. In March 1996, the Company executed a
Credit and Security Agreement ("Credit Agreement") with its principal
supplier, Klaussner Furniture Industries, Inc. ("Klaussner") which effectively
extended the payment terms for merchandise shipped from 60 days to 81 days. As
part of the Credit Agreement, the Company granted a security interest in all
of its assets as well as assigning leasehold interests, trademarks and a
license agreement to operate the Company's business in the event of a default.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company's credit line from IBJ
Schroder Bank & Trust Company was terminated. The Company does not currently
have any traditional bank financing and there can be no assurance such
financing will be available in the future. Although the Company currently has
credit card financing, there can be no assurance that such financing will
continue to be available. Klaussner also lent $1,440 to the Private Company to
be used to pay down the mortgage balance on the warehouse property. This
paydown also reduced the Company's potential exposure under a guarantee to the
mortgagor. Such exposure was subsequently extinguished by the sale in June
1996 of the warehouse property and the payment in full of the related debt.
The cash portion of the proposed settlement of the derivative and
class action litigations (as described elsewhere) will come from insurance
company payments and the issuance of new Preferred Stock by the Company. There
will be no cash outlays by the Company other than for legal costs (a
substantial portion of which has already been paid). Additionally, the
proposed Settlement Agreement with the Private Company (as described in the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) contemplates significant
changes to the operating relationship between the companies.
In fiscal 1995, the Company and the LP's closed an aggregate of 37
stores and in the thirty-nine weeks ended May 25, 1996, the Company and LP's
closed five additional stores. Several were closed for non-performance, but a
number of such closings were due to the Company's decision to combine separate
Jennifer Convertibles and Jennifer Leather stores located in the same
demographic areas into one store. The primary benefit of combining both
operations into one store was an elimination of the real estate expenses and
other expenses associated with the closed showroom. Additional benefits
realized included reductions of personnel and, in a number of cases,

For the Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended May 27, 1995
(In thousands except for share amounts)
elimination of duplicate office equipment and telephone lines. Although
combining two stores into one store generally reduces sales, management
believes that sales at the combined store will generate more profit due to the
elimination or reduction of expenses described above.
Management feels that with the above noted Credit Agreement, available
funds, funds derived from store operations and significant cost cutting
measures undertaken subsequent to August 26, 1995, including, but not limited
to, the closing of approximately five stores and the reduction in salaries of
certain management personnel, the Company will have adequate cash flow to fund
its operations and meet its capital and liquidity requirements in the near
future.
