ATTACHMENT
(PURSUANT TO PART IV (3))
It is anticipated that a significant change in results of operations from
the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof for
the following reason:
Interiors, Inc. has recently acquired Henlor, Inc., Merchandise Sales, Inc.,
Troy Lighting, Inc. and Windsor Art, Inc. (collectively, the "Acquired
Companies"). These acquisitions will result in a significant change in the
Company's results of operations from the comparable quarterly period in the
prior fiscal year. The Company has not been able to compile the requisite
financial data related to the Acquired Companies necessary to enable it to have
sufficient time to complete the Company's financial statements by November 16,
1998, which is the required filing date for the Company's quarterly report on
Form 10-QSB without unreasonable effort and expense. Accordingly, at the
present time a reasonable estimate of the results of operations cannot be made.
