                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements
     include all adjustments deemed necessary to fairly reflect the financial
     position, results of operations and changes in cash flows of the Company
     for the interim periods presented.

2.   In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments
     in Debt and Equity Securities.  The Company adopted the provisions of the
     new Standard for investments held as of, or acquired after, the beginning
     of fiscal 1994.  The cumulative effect of adopting the Standard as of the
     beginning of fiscal 1994 is not material.  In accordance with the
     Standard, prior period financial statements have not been restated to
     reflect the change in accounting principle.

     Securities held-to-maturity and available-for-sale:  Management determines
     the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase
     and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.  Debt
     securities are classified as held- to-maturity when the Company has the
     positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
     Held-to-maturity securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization
     of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.  Such amortization is
     included in other income.

     Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity and marketable equity
     securities are classified as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale
     securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and
     losses, net of tax, reported in a separate component of stockholders'
     equity.  The cost of debt securities in this category is adjusted for
     amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.  Such
     amortization is included in other income.  Realized gains and losses and
     declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale
     securities are included in other income.  The cost of securities sold is
     based on the specific identification method.

     Following is a summary of available-for-sale securities and
     held-to-maturity securities as of March 26, 1994:

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Operating activities continue to be the Company's primary source of
liquidity.  Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $176.6
million in the quarter ended March 26, 1994, as compared with $145.2 million in
the quarter ended March 27, 1993.  Cash and cash equivalents totaled $214.4
million as of March 26, 1994.

     Capital expenditures totaled $95.0 million in the quarter ended March 26,
1994.  These expenditures were primarily incurred in connection with the
opening of ten new stores and the remodeling or enlarging of three stores which
added .49 million square feet.  Significant expenditures were incurred in the
continued construction of a new general merchandise warehouse in Lakeland,
Florida and a new distribution center in Lawrenceville, Georgia.  In addition,
the Company closed one store.  Capital expenditures in the quarter ended March
27, 1993, were approximately $66.1 million.  These expenditures were primarily
incurred in connection with the opening of eight new stores and remodeling or
enlarging of three stores which added .45 million square feet.  Also,
significant expenditures were incurred in expanding the warehouse facilities in
Deerfield Beach, Florida.  In addition, the Company closed two stores.

     The Company has budgeted approximately $305.0 million for the remainder of
1994 for new store construction, the remodeling or expanding of several
existing stores and the expansion and construction of distribution facilities.
The capital budget is subject to continuing change and review.  The remaining
capital expenditures are expected to be financed by internally generated funds
and current liquid assets.

     As of March 26, 1994, the Company has committed lines of credit for $75.0
million.  In April 1994, the Company added an additional $50.0 million line of
credit.  These lines are reviewed annually by the banks.  The interest rate for
these lines is at or below the prime rate.  No amounts were outstanding as of
March 26, 1994.

     Cash generated in excess of the amount needed for current operations and
capital expenditures is invested in short-term and long-term investments.
Management believes the Company's liquidity will continue to be strong.

Operating Results
     Sales increased 11.4% in the first quarter of 1994 to $2,164.6 million, an
increase of $222.3 million compared to the same quarter in 1993.  This
represents an increase of $99.1 million or 5.1% in additional sales from stores
that were open for all of both quarters (comparable stores) and additional
sales of $123.2 million or 6.3% from the net impact of 31 stores opened and
three stores closed since March 27, 1993, and eight stores opened and two
stores closed in the first quarter of 1993.  Other income increased $5.6
million or 25.8% in the first quarter of 1994 as compared to the same quarter
in 1993.  This increase is the result of the recognition of a $5.6 million gain
on the settlement of claims for business interruption losses and property
losses related to the extensive damage caused by Hurricane Andrew.

     Cost of merchandise sold including store occupancy, warehousing and
delivery expenses, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 77.1% in the
quarter ended March 26, 1994, and 78.3% in the quarter ended March 27, 1993.
The decrease in cost of merchandise sold is due to buying and merchandising
efficiencies.

     Operating and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were
approximately 18.4% and 18.1% for the quarters ended March 26, 1994 and March
27, 1993, respectively.  The significant components of operating and
administrative expenses are payroll costs, employee benefits and depreciation.

ability to hold to maturity.

     The Company adopted the provisions of the new Standard for investments
