                         Notes to Financial Statements


     1.   The financial statements for the thirteen and twenty-six  week periods
          ended January 31, 1998 and February 1, 1997, are unaudited and reflect
          all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
          which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
          presentation of the financial position and operating results for the
          interim periods.  The financial statements should be read in
          conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, together
          with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations, contained in the Company's Annual Report to
          Shareholders incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report
          on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 2, 1997.  The results of
          operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended January
          31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire
          fiscal year ending August 1, 1998.



     2.   The accounting policies followed by the Company for the unaudited
          interim periods contained herein, are substantially the same as
          outlined in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal
          year ended August 2, 1997, which should be read in conjunction with
          this quarterly report.

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


Thirteen week periods ended January 31, 1998 and February 1, 1997
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Sales. Sales were $12,129,386 for the thirteen week period ended January 31,
1998 compared to $13,213,052 for the thirteen week period ended February 1,
1997, a decrease 8.2%. Sales for stores open in both periods were $11,679,480
for the thirteen week period ended January 31, 1998 and $13,069,480 for the
thirteen week period ended February 1, 1997. The Company eliminated a
promotional event in November 1997, and reduced advertising coverage in December
1997. The Company closed one store in prior periods which has resulted in a net
decrease in sales of $143,804 for the thirteen week period ended January 31,
1998.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the thirteen week period ended January 31,
1998, was 57.1% of sales compared to 57.4% for the thirteen week period ended
February 1, 1997. There were no material changes in the merchandise mix or
promotional discounts offered over the prior year.

Store operating, administrative and general expenses. Store operating,
administrative and general expenses for the thirteen week period ended January
31, 1998 were $4,725,446 compared to $5,077,816 in the same period of the prior
year. The decrease in operating expenses was principally related to a decrease
of advertising expenditures over the prior period.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the thirteen week periods ended January
31, 1998 and February 1, 1997 was $312,261 and $316,563, respectively.

Income tax expense. No income tax expense was recognized for the quarter ended
January 31, 1998. The Company has previously established a valuation allowance
against deferred tax assets which related primarily to operating loss carry
forwards generated in fiscal years 1994 through 1997. Accordingly, the Company
continues to record a tax valuation allowance against the tax benefit that may
be realized from the operating loss generated in the twenty-six weeks ended
January 31, 1998.

Quarterly results. Income before income taxes was $163,551 versus $237,192 for
the same period in the prior year. Net income for the thirteen-week period ended
January 31, 1998, was $163,551 compared to net income of $237,192 in the same
period of the prior year. The specialty domestics segment of the retail industry
has seen increased competition with corresponding pressure on sales and margins.

Twenty-six week periods ended January 31, 1998 and February 1, 1997
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales. Sales were $22,525,183 for the twenty-six week period ended January 31,
1998 compared to $24,200,533 for the twenty-six week period ended February 1,
1997, a decrease 6.9%. Sales for stores open in both periods were $21,544,880
for the twenty-six week period ended January 31, 1998 and $23,903,696 for the
twenty-six week period ended February 1, 1997, a decrease of 9.9%. The Company
has reduced the frequency of promotional events in fiscal 1998. The Company
closed one store in prior periods which has resulted in a net decrease in sales
of $296,837 for the twenty-six week period ended January 31, 1998.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the twenty-six week period ended January 31,
1998, was 57.1% of sales compared to 57.1% for the twenty-six week period ended
February 1, 1997. There were no material changes in the merchandise mix or
promotional discounts offered over the prior year.

Store operating, administrative and general expenses. Store operating,
administrative and general expenses for the twenty-six week period ended January
31, 1998, were $9,324,875 compared to $10,039,695 in the same period of the
prior year. The decrease in operating expenses was principally related to a
decrease of advertising expenditures over the prior period.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the twenty-six week periods ended January
31, 1998 and February 1, 1997 was $634,660 and $640,589, respectively.

Income tax expense. No income tax benefit was recognized for the twenty-six
weeks ended January 31, 1998. The Company has previously established a valuation
allowance against deferred tax assets, which related primarily to operating loss
carry forwards generated in fiscal years 1994 through 1997. Accordingly, the
Company continues to record a tax valuation allowance against the tax benefit
that may be realized from the operating loss generated in the twenty-six weeks
ended January 31, 1998.


Twenty-six week results. Loss before income taxes was $297,033 versus a loss of
$292,781 for the same period in the prior year. Net loss for the twenty-six week
period ended January 31, 1998, was $297,033 compared to a net loss of $292,781
in the same period of the prior year. The specialty domestics segment of the
retail industry has seen increased competition with corresponding pressure on
sales and margins.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. At January 31, 1998, working capital was
-------------------------------                                            
$8,959,378 compared to $9,652,600 at the beginning of the fiscal year. Cash
generated by operations was $1,587,693, which was offset by debt reduction of
$869,189 and expenditures on capital improvements of $389,216.

The Company believes the home furnishings specialty store segment is targeted
toward the upper moderate customer, and that many customers who would prefer a
specialty store environment are priced out of the market and shop for home
furnishings in traditional promotional chains. The Company is undertaking a
program to refurbish some of its existing stores and will merchandise these
stores to create an attractive offering to the moderate customer. In March 1997,
the Company expanded its line of credit with Foothill Capital Corporation from
$9,000,000 to $12,000,000. The expansion of the line of credit is earmarked to
fund working capital requirements as the Company increases its merchandise
content.

Management believes that cash from operations, coupled with its credit resources
and line of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company's operational and
capital needs for the remainder of the fiscal year ending August 1, 1998.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
--------------------------

The preceding "Business" and Management's Discussion and Analysis contain
various "forward looking statements" within the meaning of section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs
concerning future events, including the following: the ability of the Company to
obtain positive cash flow from its current portfolio of stores; the ability of
the Company to maintain its credit facilities; and sufficiency of the Company's
working capital, bank loan agreement and cash flow from operating activities for
the Company's future operating and capital requirements. The Company cautions
that these statements are further qualified by important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking
statements, including, without limitations, the following: decline in demand for
merchandise offered by the Company; the ability of the Company to gauge the
fashion tastes of its customers and provide merchandise to satisfy customer
demand; the ability of the Company to hire and train employees; the possible
unavailability of merchandise from the Company's vendors and private label
suppliers; the effect of economic conditions in the Company's markets, the
effect of severe weather or natural disaster; and the effect of competitive
pressures from other retailers. Results actually achieved thus may differ
materially from expected results in these statements.
