                    INTILE DESIGNS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


                                     PART 1

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

     Intile Designs, Inc. (Company or Intile), a Delaware company, is an 
importer of foreign ceramic tile and marble and a distributor of these same 
products as well as domestic ceramic tile, marble and other home 
design/building products.  The Company's products are distributed to a wide 
and varied retail and wholesale customer base through thirteen (13) 
showroom/warehouse facilities and three (3) retail showrooms in seven states.

     The Company markets its products to at least five general customer bases:
pool contractors, residential and commercial remodeling contractors, new home
builders, architects and designers, and do-it-yourself consumers.  Much of the
marketing to the contractor trade is done through retail sales to the ultimate
consumer through the retail showrooms.  Sales are conducted through the showroom
facilities by trained, experienced tile sales personnel.

     The method by which merchandise is distributed varies depending upon the
warehouse support structure for a particular sales location.  Where a warehouse
is attached to a showroom, the customer may obtain products immediately, but
where the showroom is independent, the customer may wait as long as two weeks to
pick up the merchandise.  In cases of special orders, or where a particular
location and warehouse are out of stock, the delivery time may exceed two weeks.
The vast majority of the Company's products are picked up by the customers or
his contractor at one of the Company's warehouse facilities or showrooms.  The
Company delivers directly or ships to a customer only a small portion of the
orders.

     There are other companies and firms selling tile and related products which
have greater financial and managerial resources than the Company.  The Company
competes with these other businesses on the basis of product quality and
selection, price and service.

     The Company is supplied by a diversified group of both domestic and
international companies.  In general, purchases can be broken out by country as
follows:  40% Italy, 15% Japan, 30% United States and 15% from a variety of
other countries.  No single foreign or domestic source provides over 10% of all
the Company's purchases.  The major U.S. suppliers are Mutual Materials,
Interstate Brick, P&M Tile and Laufen International.  No single customer
accounts for 10% or more of the Company's revenues.  The Company is not
dependent on one or a few major customers.

     There are 91 employees in the Company, all of which are full time
employees.




                                      3


<PAGE>

     In May 1995, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split in its issued
and outstanding common stock. All share amounts and values included herein have
been adjusted to give effect to the stock split.

HISTORY

     The Company, then known as IV Ventures Ltd., was formed in July 1991 for
the purpose of conducting a public offering and seeking out an operating entity
to acquire.  In July 1993, the Company successfully completed the public
offering and sold 200,000 shares of Common Stock for proceeds of $550,000.  The
Company then acquired the original Intile Designs, Inc. (IDI), a Texas
corporation, in a merger in November 1993.  In this merger, the Company issued
3,560,000 shares of its restricted Common Stock, par value $.0001, to the former
owners of IDI.  Immediately following the merger, the Company changed its name
to Intile Designs, Inc.

     IDI was formed in 1976 as a division of Texas Building Centers, Inc. and
was subsequently spun off in May 1980 by Mr. C. William Cox, president of the
Company.  At the time, IDI was primarily an importer and distributor of ceramic
tile, marble and related products.  Swimming pool tile and brick-coping were
added as product lines in 1983 and 1985, respectively, and wall coverings were
added to selected showrooms in 1988.  In 1993, a division was formed for
producing swimming pool depth marker tiles.

     The Company has expanded since the merger in 1993, primarily through
acquisitions of similar retail/wholesale ceramic tile distributors as well as
internally through the opening of new retail operations.  The Company's
significant acquisitions since April 1, 1994 are:

     INTERNATIONAL TILE & SUPPLY CORP.:     Effective November 2, 1994, the
     Company acquired substantially all of the assets of International Tile &
     Supply Corp. (International), a closely-held California corporation, which
     was a debtor in possession in a bankruptcy filing in the Central District
     of California since January 1994.  Intile, through its wholly-owned
     subsidiary, Intile Designs of Los Angeles, Inc., purchased the assets of
     International by payment of cash at closing of  $1,050,000 and assumption
     of certain debts approximating $317,473 (net of approximately $155,000 in
     either cash paid to creditors or transferred to Intile at closing). 
     Additionally, Intile agreed to pay the allowed general unsecured creditors
     of International an amount equal to 10% of the "Net Operating Profits," as
     defined, generated from the operations of the business acquired for a
     period of four (4) years after the closing, with maximum payments in the
     aggregate totalling $100,000.

     The funding of the cash paid at closing was accomplished through a private
     placement of debt totalling $1,000,000.  Intile issued a $650,000
     Convertible Subordinated Note due in 1997, a $350,000 short-term Bridge
     Note, and a warrant to purchase 230,000 shares of Common Stock at an
     exercise price of $3.25 per share, to RAMCO Limited Partnership.

     This acquisition added three (3) retail showrooms locations in the Los
     Angeles area to the Company's retail network.

     TCM HOLDINGS CORP:     Effective February 21, 1995, the Company acquired
     100% of the stock of TCM Holdings Corporation (Tile City), a Massachusetts
     corporation which had been a debtor in possession in a bankruptcy filing in
     Massachusetts since February 1994.  Intile acquired the stock of Tile City
     from Retail Associates Management Company, Inc., in exchange for up to
     844,276 shares of Intile Common stock.  The final number of shares will be
     determined subject to settlement of certain claims in the bankruptcy
     proceedings at a later time pursuant to the Price Adjustment and Escrow
     Agreement dated February 21, 1995.  This agreement provides for 240,000 of
     the shares to be placed in escrow for subsequent distribution after the
     final price adjustment is determined in accordance with the provisions of
     the agreement.  The Company currently estimates that all 240,000 escrowed
     shares will be returned to the Company.




                                      4


<PAGE>

     Due to recurring losses at TCM, TCM's management closed the retail
     operations effective August 3, 1995.  The Company recorded a charge
     against income from the closure of TCM of approximately $1,865,000 in the
     quarter ended June 30, 1995.

     Prior to the Company's acquisition of TCM stock, TCM had confirmed a
     Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization in December 1994.  Pursuant to the terms
     of the plan, all property of TCM was to vest in the reorganized entity
     emerging from bankruptcy.  The bankruptcy estate of TCM remains in
     existence until the case is closed. In October 1995, the U.S. Trustee
     petitioned the bankruptcy court to convert TCM's Chapter 11 to a Chapter 7
     case of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  On November 7, 1995, the U.S. Bankruptcy
     Court, District of Massachusetts, Eastern Division ruled in favor of the
     motion finding that there had been a material default by TCM with respect
     to the confirmed Plan of Reorganization and converted the case 
     (#94-10762-WCH).  A Chapter 7 Trustee was appointed by the U.S. Trustee.

     The Company believes that the liquidation value of the assets of TCM, as
     the reorganized entity, will be less than the value of the recorded liens
     against such assets, of which the Company is the primary lienholder. 
     Accordingly, the Company anticipates that the unsecured creditors under the
     confirmed plan, or otherwise, will not receive any proceeds from the
     Chapter 7 liquidation.  Management believes that, as a result of the
     liquidation, the Company will recover some previously recognized losses
     since certain liabilities which have been previously recorded are not
     anticipated to be paid by TCM's bankruptcy estate. No amount of the
     anticipated recovery has been included in the Company's fiscal 1996
     financial statements.

     INTILE DESIGNS OF ORLANDO, INC.:     Effective February 21, 1995, the
     Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the Orlando showroom of
     P&M Tile, Inc. d/b/a Mannington Ceramic Tile - Orlando (Orlando).  Intile
     acquired Orlando by payment of $140,114 at closing and issuance of a
     noninterest-bearing note to P&M Tile, Inc. for $257,518.

     Internal expansion by the Company during fiscal 1996 included the 
opening of new showroom/warehouses in The Woodlands, Texas (Houston) and 
Denver, Colorado.

OPERATIONS

     The Company operates its business on a wagon wheel concept with a large
warehouse in a hub city and facilities located along the spokes that are either
showrooms with small warehouses or stand-alone showrooms.  The Company has
established an outlet store in Houston to sell its closeouts and odd-lots.

     As a prototype of a hub facility, Intile's 100,000 square foot Houston
warehouse maintains a large inventory.  The warehouse does not sell to the
public, but markets to the wholesale trade only and provides material and
services to the other showroom facilities.  The showroom/warehouse sells to both
the wholesale and the retail markets, while the stand-alone showroom sells
primarily to the retail customers and remodeling contractor.

     With further growth and expansion of the wagon wheel structure, the Company
intends to develop other hub operations to support expansion activities.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

     The Company has operations in seven states with the retail showroom 
locations in Houston (2), Dallas, Austin, The Woodlands, Webster, and Corpus 
Christi, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Orlando, Florida; Boston, Massachusetts; 
Phoenix, Arizona; Anaheim, Northridge and Los Angeles (2), California and 
Denver, Colorado.

     The following table displays the ranges in size and lease costs of the 
showrooms.  This chart indicates that a typical showroom/warehouse operation 
is about 12,000 square feet with an annual cost of around $50,000, while a 
typical retail showroom only is about 4,000 square feet with an annual cost 
of a similar amount ($50,000).

     Lease terms range from tenant at will (month-to-month) to five-year 
leases with expiration terms through 2001.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     With the exception of the TCM Holdings Corp. bankruptcy (discussed in 
Item 1.), the Company is involved in only routine litigation incidental to 
its business which, in the opinion of management, are not material within the 
meaning of Item 103 of Regulation 5-B.

ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, no matter was submitted to a 
vote of security holders, either through the solicitation of proxies or 
otherwise.

     At June 15, 1996, there were 78 record holders of the Company's Common 
Stock.

     The Company has paid no dividends on its Common Stock during the last 
two years.  The terms of the Company's bank loan agreements contain 
provisions which presently prohibit the payment of cash dividends by the 
Company on its Common Stock.

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The discussion which follows summarizes the Company's financial position 
as of March 31, 1996 and the results of its operations for the twelve month 
period then ended, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's 
Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included 
elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has a revolving bank credit line which, subject to certain 
limitations as to advance rates on collateral values, provides for borrowings 
up to $6,000,000. During fiscal year 1995, the Company negotiated a new 
credit agreement which provided for the additional borrowing capacity of 
$2,500,000 (up from $3,500,000) while removing certain ceiling limitations 
from inventory collateral values.  At March 31, 1996, the outstanding balance 
under this arrangement was $5,820,000 or $180,000 less than the maximum, 
however, due to non compliance with certain covenants of the loan agreement, 
the bank will not advance any of the unused capacity. 


                                       7

<PAGE>

     In February 1994, the Company initiated an effort to raise capital 
through the private placement of its Common Stock in an offering exempt from 
federal and state securities laws.  The Company placed 42,000 shares of stock 
at a price of $3.25 per share ($136,500 total).  Also out of this effort, the 
Company secured additional financing of $1,000,000 from RAMCO Ltd.  
Partnership in the form of a $650,000 Subordinated Convertible Debenture and 
a $350,000 Bridge Note.  The Subordinated Debenture was converted in February 
1995 into 200,000 shares of Intile Common Stock and the Bridge Note was 
repaid in December 1994. The $1,000,000 proceeds were utilized to acquire the 
assets of International Tile & Supply Corp. in November 1994.  These 
additions to capital have been recorded net of the associated costs of 
raising such capital.

     The Company also raised capital in the fiscal years ended 1996 and 1995, 
when outstanding stock options for 70,478 and 112,640 shares, respectively, 
were exercised.  The Company may raise capital during fiscal 1997 by virtue 
of the exercise of 176,080 stock options.  The Company does not know how many 
of these options will be exercised.

     At March 31, 1996, the Company's working capital has decreased to 
$819,211 from $8,402,279 at March 1995, principally due to the bank revolving 
credit facility being classified as short-term this year due to noncompliance 
with certain covenants which make the principal payable upon demand, and 
increased borrowings to support the acquisition of current operating assets 
(primarily inventory) while using the funds generated from the net reduction 
of these operating assets (inventory and receivables) to finance the losses 
generated at TCM.  Similarly, trade payables increased in an effort to use 
working capital to fund the TCM losses instead of reduce trade payables.

     Borrowing levels increased to $5,953,907 at March 31, 1996 from 
$5,020,957 at March 31, 1995.  This increase in borrowings occurred due to 
financing of operating assets during the period that losses were incurred by 
TCM.  Cash used by operations during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996 was 
$822,535.  The cash used by operations, down from $1,621,670 in the fiscal 
year ended March 31, 1995, was used to fund the loss incurred this year.
Cash used in investing activities decreased from $1,168,755 in fiscal year 
end March 31, 1995 to $286,795 for the fiscal year end March 31, 1996 
because no acquisitions were made in fiscal 1996 as compared to the three 
acquisitions (International, Orlando and TCM Holdings) in fiscal 1995. Cash 
provided by financing activities also decreased from $2,819,417 for fiscal 
year ended March 31, 1995 to $954,676 in fiscal year ended March 31, 1996 due 
to the decreased borrowings of debt which in fiscal 1995 were primarily 
used to fund the previously noted acquisitions.

     The stockholders' equity of the Company decreased by $4,225,111 (73.9%) 
to $1,488,374 at March 31, 1996 from $5,713,485 at March 31, 1995.  This 
decrease is due to the losses incurred during the year, principally at TCM.

     The Company's management is attempting to locate private sources of 
capital and alternative financing sources in an endeavor to alleviate the 
doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. A number of potential 
investors have been identified. Discussions continue with several of these 
sophisticated investors as to the opportunity that exists with Intile. The 
financing alternative would be enhanced significantly if the Company could 
obtain additional capital and thereby reduce the level of financing required 
to refinance the existing bank credit line. To date no new equity has been 
raised, and management, although optimistic, cannot guarantee success.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996, COMPARED WITH
THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

     Sales increased $1,047,288 (5.9%) to $18,892,947 and cost of sales 
increased by $1,044,642 (9.9%) to $11,617,811 for the twelve months ended 
March 31, 1996 compared to the same period ended March 31, 1995, resulting in 
an increase of $2,646 in gross profit for the fiscal year 1996.  The increase 
in sales and cost of sales is principally due to inclusion of International 
Tile and Orlando for the entire year as compared to a partial year during 
fiscal 1995 (International - 5 months and Orlando - 5 weeks).  The reduction 
in gross margin percentage from 40.7% for the twelve months ended March 31, 
1995, to 38.5% for the same period ended March 31, 1996, is due in part to 
the effect of the Orlando operation performing at below the Company norm (31% 
vs. 40.7%) accounting for .7% of the decrease and general competitive market 
pressures, particularly in the West Region, causing the remaining decrease.

     Selling and administrative expenses rose $1,097,855 (15.9%) to 
$8,009,968 for the twelve months ended March 31, 1996 from $6,912,113 for the 
same period ended March 31, 1995.  The increase resulted from inclusion of 
International and Orlando for the full twelve months and expanded staff to 
support the growth in the location network.

     Income (loss) from operations decreased by $1,095,209 from the twelve 
months ended March 31, 1995, compared to the same period ended March 31, 
1996. This is the cumulative result of reduced margins combined with extended 
operations (increased selling and administration expenses).

     The loss for the twelve months ended March 31, 1996 was $(4,246,837) as 
compared to a net income of $35,291 for the prior twelve-month period ended 
March 31, 1995.  The loss is primarily due to the large loss incurred at TCM 
coupled with increased general and administrative costs to support the 
expanded network and the increased interest costs resulting from greater 
borrowings due to the losses.

     Individual operations which enjoyed pre-tax profits this year were 
Austin-$96,763, Dallas-$121,396, Orlando-$17,592, Atlanta-$22,739 and Corpus 
Christi-$22,145. 

     The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance on the 
deferred tax asset since it could not be determined if the asset was more 
likely than not to be realized.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for Impairment of 
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (SFAS No. 
121). SFAS No. 121 requires, among other things, that impairment losses on 
assets to be held, and gains or losses from assets that are expected to be 
disposed of, be included as a component of income from continuing operations. 
The Company will adopt SFAS No. 121 in fiscal year ending March 31, 1997 and 
its implementation is not expected to have a material effect on the 
consolidated financial statements.

     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for 
Stock-Based Compensation." (SFAS No. 123). SFAS No. 123 encourages entities 
to adopt the fair value method in place of the provisions of Accounting 
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" 
(APB No. 25), for all arrangements under which employees receive shares of 
stock or other equity instruments of the employer or the employer incurs 
liabilities to employees in amounts based on the price of its stock. The 
Company does not anticipate adopting the fair value method encouraged by SFAS 
No. 123 and will continue to account for such transactions in accordance with 
APB No. 25. However, the Company will be required to provide additional 
disclosures beginning in fiscal year ending March 31, 1997 providing pro 
forma effects as if the Company had elected to adopt SFAS No. 123.

ITEM 7.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     See Index to Financial Statements on Page F-1.

ITEM 8.   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

     On February 23, 1996, Intile Designs, Inc. dismissed Price Waterhouse 
LLP as its independent accountants.  The reports of Price Waterhouse LLP on 
the financial statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse 
opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to 
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.  The Company's Board of 
Directors participated in and approved the decision to change independent 
accountants.  In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal 
years and through February 23, 1996, there have been no disagreements with 
Price Waterhouse LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, 
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which 
disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Price Waterhouse LLP 
would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the 
financial statements for such years. Price Waterhouse LLP furnished the 
Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating that it agreed with the 
above statements, and a copy of such letter, dated March 1, 1996, was filed 
as Exhibit 16 to the Form 8-K filed February 28, 1996.  The Company engaged 
BDO Seidman, LLP  as its new independent accountants on March 15, 1996.  
During the two most recent fiscal years and through March 15, 1996, the 
Company has not consulted with BDO Seidman, LLP on items which (1) were or 
should have been subject to SAS 50; or (2) concerned the subject matter of a 
disagreement or reportable event with the former auditor (as described in 
Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(2).

interest at prime plus 3%. The outstanding balance at March 31, 1996, was
$100,000 with interest paid current.  Due to continuing discussions relating to
the Company's request for RAMCO to indemnify it against the losses incurred in
connection with the TCM acquisition and RAMCO's denial of any such obligation,
the principal has not been paid as of March 31, 1996.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and 
Stockholders of Intile Designs, Inc.


We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Intile Designs, Inc. at 
March 31, 1996 and the consolidated statements of loss, stockholders' equity 
and cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Intile
Designs, Inc. at March 31, 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to
the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a significant
loss in the current year and has violated certain covenants of a loan agreement,
as a result of which the lender may demand repayment of the entire outstanding
balance.  Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are
also discussed in Note 2.  The consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, effective 
April 1, 1995, the Company changed its method of accounting for an investment 
in a subsidiary.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Intile Designs, Inc.


In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of income (loss), stockholders' equity and cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Intile
Designs, Inc. and its subsidiaries at March 31, 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements are the
responsibility  of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.  We conducted our
audit of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expression above.

                           INTILE DESIGNS, INC.

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The Company is a direct importer and distributor of ceramic tile, marble 
and related home design products.  The Company also retails these items 
through its various divisions and subsidiaries located primarily in the 
southern region of the United States.

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intile 
Designs, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries except those where control is 
deemed to be temporary.  All significant intercompany accounts and 
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

REVENUE, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

     Revenue is recognized upon the sale of ceramic tile, marble and related 
home design products and is recorded net of discounts and returns.  The 
Company grants credit to its customers under normal credit terms.  The 
Company uses the reserve method of accounting for uncollectible accounts.

INVENTORIES

     Inventory consisting of ceramic tile, marble and related home design 
products is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. 
Inventory costs include freight and certain warehouse handling costs.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET 

     Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation on equipment is 
provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 
the assets.   For income tax purposes, depreciation on certain assets is 
calculated using accelerated methods.  Leasehold improvements are amortized 
over the terms of the lease, not in excess of their estimated useful lives.

ORGANIZATION COSTS

     Organization costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over five 
years.

GOODWILL

     At March 31, 1995, Goodwill included the excess of acquisition costs 
over the fair value of net assets acquired in the purchase of TCM Holdings 
Corporation (TCM) which was to be amortized on the straight-line method over 
a ten-year period.  During August 1995, management ceased operations of TCM. 
During the year ended March 31, 1996, all remaining goodwill was written-off 
and included in equity in losses of investee in the accompanying statement of 
loss (see Notes 3 and 5).

INVESTMENT IN TCM

     As discussed in Note 3, during the year ended March 31, 1996, TCM 
entered into Chapter 7 bankruptcy under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  In light 
of this filing, the Company's control over TCM was deemed to be temporary in 
nature. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles do not permit the use of 
consolidation accounting in circumstances where the investor has only 
temporary control over an investee.  Accordingly, effective April 1, 1995, the


                                    F-8

                           INTILE DESIGNS, INC.

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Company's investment in TCM is accounted for using the equity method; 
whereby, the investment is carried at cost and adjusted for the Company's 
proportionate share of profit or losses.

NOTES PAYABLE

     The Company's notes bear interest at a floating rate of interest based upon
the lending institution's prime lending rate.  Accordingly, the fair value
approximates their reported carrying amounts at March 31, 1996 and 1995.

INCOME TAXES

     For federal income tax purposes, the Company files a consolidated tax 
return which includes the operations of its divisions and subsidiaries.

     The Company recognizes income tax expense using the liability method of 
accounting for deferred income taxes.  A deferred tax asset or liability is 
recorded based upon the tax effect of temporary differences between the tax 
basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying value for financial 
reporting purposes.  The primary temporary differences between the financial 
statement basis and tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities relate 
to the depreciation of property and equipment, the capitalization of indirect 
costs to inventories, allowance for doubtful accounts and accrued 
liabilities.  Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes in the 
deferred tax assets and liabilities during the year.  The Company adjusts the 
deferred tax asset valuation allowance based upon judgments as to future 
realization of the deferred tax benefits supported by demonstrated trends in 
the Company's operating results.

STOCK OPTIONS

     Compensation expense is measured for stock option awards as the 
difference between the option exercise price and the fair value of the stock 
at the option award date.  Compensation expense is recognized over the stock 
option vesting period.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

     Earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average 
number of outstanding shares of common and common equivalent shares 
outstanding, including stock options which have a dilutive effect.

MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
reported periods.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for Impairment of 
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of"  (SFAS No. 
121).  SFAS No. 121 requires, among other things, that impairment losses on 
assets to be held, and gains or losses from assets that are expected to be 
disposed of, be included as a component of income from 


                                    F-9 

<PAGE>

                           INTILE DESIGNS, INC.

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

continuing operations.  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 121 in the year 
ending March 31, 1997 and its implementation is not expected to have a 
material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for 
Stock-Based Compensation."  (SFAS No. 123).  SFAS No. 123 encourages entities 
to adopt the fair value method in place of the provisions of Accounting 
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" 
(APB No. 25), for all arrangements under which employees receive shares of 
stock or other equity instruments of the employer or the employer incurs 
liabilities to employees in amounts based on the price of its stock.  The 
Company does not anticipate adopting the fair value method encouraged by SFAS 
No. 123 and will continue to account for such transactions in accordance with 
APB No. 25.  However, the Company will be required to provide additional 
disclosures beginning in the year ending March 31, 1997 providing pro forma 
effects as if the Company had elected to adopt SFAS No. 123.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared 
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has 
suffered a significant loss during the current year primarily attributable to 
the financial problems encountered by its TCM subsidiary (see Notes 3 and 5). 
In addition, the Company is in violation of certain loan covenants of its 
credit facility with a bank.  The bank may demand repayment of the entire 
outstanding balance of the note, which is secured by the Company's inventory 
and accounts receivable.  Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the 
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management believes that 
it has adequately accrued for all remaining losses due to the closure of TCM. 
In addition, management is seeking to refinance its existing credit facility 
and obtain an additional equity infusion.  There can be no assurance, 
however, that the Company will be successful in refinancing its credit 
facility or obtaining an equity infusion. The consolidated financial 
statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome 
of these uncertainties.

NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 

     Effective November 2, 1994, the Company acquired substantially all of 
the assets of International Tile & Supply Corp. (International).  The 
Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Intile Designs of Los Angeles, 
Inc., purchased the assets of International by payment of cash at closing of 
$1,050,000.  The assets acquired consisted of:

                                                                     Amount

     Additionally, the Company agreed to pay to the allowed general unsecured 
creditors of International an amount equal to 10% of the net operating 
profits generated from the operations of the business acquired for a period 
of four years after the closing, with maximum payments in the aggregate 
totalling $100,000.  There were no amounts paid in accordance with this 
arrangement for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  The funding of the 
cash at closing was accomplished through a private placement of debt 
totalling $1,000,000.  The Company issued a $650,000 convertible subordinated 
note and a $350,000 short-term bridge note to Retail Associates Management 
Company, L.P. (RAMCO).  The transaction has been accounted for by the Company 
as a purchase and, accordingly, results of International have been included 
in the accompanying statement of income since November 2, 1994.

     Effective February 21, 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the common 
stock of TCM Holdings Corporation (TCM).  The Company acquired the stock of 
TCM from Retail Associates Management Company, Inc. in exchange for 644,276 
shares of the Company's common stock.  The agreement provides for 240,000 
shares to be placed in escrow for subsequent distribution after the final 
price adjustment is determined in accordance with the provisions of the 
agreement. The Company currently estimates that all 240,000 escrowed shares

     In conjunction with the acquisition of TCM, RAMCO converted its $650,000 
convertible subordinated note payable into 200,000 shares of the Company's 
common stock.  The transaction has been accounted for by the Company as a 
purchase and, accordingly, operating results of TCM have been included in the 
accompanying statement of income since February 21, 1995.

     Due to recurring losses, the management of TCM elected in August 1995, 
to cease operations and to abandon all facilities other than the central 
warehouse.  Prior to the Company's acquisition of the TCM stock, TCM had 
confirmed a Chapter 11 Plan or Reorganization in December 1994.  Pursuant to 
the terms of the plan, all property of TCM was to vest in the reorganized 
entity emerging from bankruptcy.  In October 1995, the U.S. Trustee 
petitioned the bankruptcy court to convert TCM's Chapter 11 to a Chapter 7 
filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  On November 7, 1995, the U.S. 
Bankruptcy Court, District of Massachusetts, Eastern Division ruled in favor 
of the motion finding that there had been a material default by TCM with 
respect to the confirmed

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Plan of Reorganization and converted the case into Chapter 7.  A Chapter 7 
Trustee was appointed by the U.S. Trustee prior to this determination.  The 
Company entered into a consignee agreement with TCM and Nationsbank to 
provide an orderly liquidation of the bank's collateral through the sales 
efforts of Global Tile Distributors, Inc. (Global), a wholly-owned subsidiary 
of the Company.  Global has sold approximately $61,500 of collateral (at 
TCM's cost) as of March 31, 1996.  The Company's management believes that the 
liquidation will be accomplished with no significant additional losses 
accruing to the Company. Management believes that as a result of the 
liquidation, the Company will recover some previously recognized losses since 
certain liabilities which have been recorded are not anticipated to be paid 
by TCM's bankruptcy estate.

     The Companies believe that the liquidation value of the assets of TCM, 
as the reorganized entity, will be less than the value of the recorded liens 
against such assets, of which the Company is the primary lienholder. 
Accordingly, the Company anticipates that the unsecured creditors under the 
confirmed plan, or otherwise, will not receive any proceeds from the Chapter 
7 liquidation.  

     During the year ended March 31, 1996, as a result of the bankruptcy 
filing, TCM wrote down certain assets to their net realizable values. The 
amounts of the writedowns are as follows:

                                                                   Amount

     In addition, the Company accrued $150,000 to cover additional costs 
related to the closure of TCM.

     Effective February 21, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of 
the assets of the Orlando showroom (Orlando) of P&M Tile, Inc. (P&M). The 
Company acquired Orlando by a cash payment of $140,113 at closing and the 
issuance of a noninterest-bearing note to P&M for $257,517, which was paid in 
full during the year ended March 31, 1996.  The assets acquired consisted of:

NOTE 5 - EQUITY INVESTMENT 

     Although the Company has a 100% ownership interest in TCM, its control 
over TCM is considered to be temporary in nature because of TCM's Chapter 7 
bankruptcy proceeding (see Notes 1 and 3).  Accordingly, the Company has 
accounted for its investment in TCM using the equity method, effective April 
1, 1995.  The Company's equity in the net loss of TCM for the year ended 
March 31, 1996 was $3,169,419.  The following is a summary of the financial 
position (excluding amounts payable to parent), net sales and loss for TCM 
for the year ended March 31, 1996.

covenants.  At March 31, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with the 
required current, quick, leverage, tangible net worth, current maturities and 
interest coverage ratios.  In addition, the Company did not achieve the 
prescribed level of income.  As of June 4, 1996, the bank has not waived 
these covenant violations, and accordingly, the entire balance of the note is 
callable by the bank and has been included in current liabilities.  

     In addition, the Company is required to pay certain fees based on the 
average outstanding and unused balances and amounts outstanding under letters 
of credit.  Amounts available under the line of credit are reduced for 
outstanding letters of credit which totalled $730,034 at March 31, 1995.  
There are no outstanding letters of credit available at March 31, 1996, as 
the Company is in violation of its loan covenants.

     The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax 
asset since it could not be determined if the asset was more likely than not 
to be realized.

     During the year ended March 31, 1995, the Company acquired a net operating
loss of $1,378,000 to be carryforwarded in connection with its acquisition of
TCM which is limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Due to
management's decision to cease operations of TCM, the Company will be unable to
carryforward this net operating loss.

     The Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of $2,467,000
that will expire during 2011.

     For the year ended March 31, 1996, the Company was able to carryback
$513,559 of its net operating losses, which resulted in a receivable of
$150,000.

NOTE 12 - CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits resulting from disputes 
arising in the day-to-day operations wherein insignificant amounts are 
claimed and the outcomes are presently uncertain.  Based upon information 
currently available, in the opinion of management, these claims should not 
result in judgments or settlements which, in the aggregate, would have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

     A subsidiary of the Company (TCM) has filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 
during August 1995.  As discussed in Note 1, TCM's commitments and 
obligations are not included in the accompanying financial statements as of 
March 31, 1996. Management believes that the Company will not be responsible 
for TCM's commitments or any potential outstanding liabilities that may arise.
