RAGAR CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A New York Corporation)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1.    Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of business

Ragar Corp. (Successor Business, Ragar or Company) was organized under the laws
of the state of New York on July 19, 1988. Ragar Corp. had substantially no
operations prior to its exchange, on June 2, 1995, in a reverse acquisition with
Carpet Barn Holdings, Inc., (CBH), which was organized under the laws of the
State of Delaware on May 26, 1995. CBH and its wholly owned subsidiary, Carpet
Barn, Inc., (CBI), a Delaware corporation, were formed for the purpose of
acquiring the assets and operations of Carpet Barn, Inc., a Nevada Corporation
(Predecessor Business), a retail carpet sales and installation outlet located in
Las Vegas, Nevada. The Company began operations on June 2, 1995, the date of
acquisition.

The Company is also related, through common ownership, to C. B. Realty of
Delaware, Inc. (Realty).

The Company sells floor coverings, primarily carpet, to the new home and retail
replacement markets primarily in southern Nevada.

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows.

Basis of presentation

On June 2, 1995, the Company acquired all of the common stock of CBH in an
exchange (the Exchange) by the holders of such common stock for newly issued
common stock of the Company, representing 92% of the Company's common stock
outstanding after the Exchange. For financial reporting and accounting purposes,
the Exchange was recorded as a reverse acquisition, with CBH as the accounting
acquirer. In a reverse acquisition, the accounting acquirer is treated as the
surviving entity, even though the Company's legal existence does not change and
the financial statement titles refer to the Company, not the accounting
acquirer. The accounting acquirer treats the Exchange similar to a purchase
acquisition. As a result, the historical financial information presented is
CBH's and not the Company's, as previously reported. The operating results of
the Company are included with those of CBH after June 2, 1995, the date of the
Exchange.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for the complete financial
statements. In management's opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements reflect all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods
presented. The results for the interim period ended March 31, 1997, are not
necessarily indicative of the results which will be reported for the entire
year.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1.     Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries, CBH and CBI. All material intercompany accounts and
transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The minority interest in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements represents the preferred stock of
CBH not owned by the Company. The CBH preferred stock dividends are included as
a charge to earnings on the consolidated income statements.

Cash

During the periods presented, the Company maintained cash balances which, at
times, were in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has experienced
no losses in such accounts. At December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997, the
Company's cash balances were maintained at financial institutions in Nevada and
Illinois.

Inventory

Inventory consists primarily of carpet and vinyl and is stated at the lower of
cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Equipment and leasehold improvements

Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line and
accelerated methods for financial reporting purposes. Amortization is provided
on the straight-line basis over the shorter of the economic life of the asset or
the lease term. Estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes are as
follows:

                                                                   Years

                                                                  -------
 Furniture and equipment                                             7
 Autos and trucks                                                    5
 Leasehold improvements                                            3-5

Intangibles

Cost in excess of net assets of the business' acquired in connection with the
Company's acquisitions is being amortized by the straight-line method over
twenty-five years. The Company periodically reviews the value of its goodwill to
determine if an impairment has occurred. The Company does not believe that an
impairment of its goodwill has occurred based on an evaluation of operating
income, cash flows and business prospects.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1.     Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Company incurred financing costs related to the bank financing obtained in
connection with the acquisition of the Predecessor Business. These costs are
being amortized on the effective interest method over the term of the debt.

The Company also entered into a covenant not-to-compete in connection with the
acquisition of the Predecessor Business. The covenant is being amortized on the
straight-line method over the five-year term of the agreement.

Income taxes

The Company provides for deferred taxes on a liability method whereby deferred
tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized
for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences
between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of
enactment.

Vendor coop marketing and purchase discounts

The Company participates in various advertising and marketing programs with
suppliers. Certain of the Company's costs incurred in connection with these
programs are reimbursed. The Company records accounts payable net of anticipated
purchase discounts.

Earnings per common share

Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period and the net income for the period. There
were no common stock equivalents outstanding during the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1997.

Effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 1997, the Company
will be required to implement FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. The
Statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
(EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential
common stock. It replaces the presentation of basic EPS and also requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for
all entities with complex capital structures. The Company has not determined
what effect, if any, this new pronouncement will have on the Company's EPS
presentations.

Note 1.     Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

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 disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recorded for commercial and retail floor covering sales upon
installation.

Advertising

All costs related to marketing and advertising the Company's products are
expensed in the period incurred.

Advertising expense for the quarters ended March 31, consist of the following:

                                           1996                    1997
                                  --------------------------------------------
                                             62,435           $     109,097
                                  ============================================

Reclassification

Certain 1996 balances have been reclassified to correspond to the balance sheet,
statements of income, and cash flows classifications for 1997. These
reclassifications have no effect on stockholders' equity.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts
receivable, employee and other receivables, subordinated notes payable, note
payable, accounts payable, due to principal stockholder, and accrued expenses
approximate their fair values because of their short maturities.

The carrying amounts of long-term debt and the related party note receivable
approximate their fair values because the interest rates on these instruments
are at market rates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 2.     Notes Payable - Other

The Company received advances from unrelated parties of $534,000 during February
1997, enabling the Company to make the quarterly principal payment of $875,000
then due on the long-term revolving note. These advances bear interest at the
rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly. In addition to repayment of the
principal, if the advance is repaid within three months of the date of the
advance, the lender will receive 40% of the dollar amount of the advance in
shares of common stock of the Company. The value of the common stock will be
recorded as additional interest during the period the advance is outstanding.
This amount increases by 20% for each additional three month period the advance
is outstanding, capping at 100% if the advance is not repaid within 9 months.
The per share value of the shares of common stock of the Company issued to
satisfy this obligation will be based on the average bid price of the stock for
the thirty day period prior to the payment date. The value of the shares to be
issued is being accrued over the life of the debt. Interest expense of $112,140
relating to these advances has been reflected in the accompanying financial
statements as of March 31, 1997.

Note 3.     Note Payable - Bank and Long-Term Debt

Concurrent with its acquisition of the Predecessor Business, the Company entered
into a Credit Agreement with First Source Financial, LLP (First Source) under
which the Company obtained a $14,000,000 credit facility due May 31, 1999 and a
$3,000,000 working capital note due May 31, 1997, which, under certain
conditions may be extended through May 31, 1999. The Credit Agreement contains
covenants requiring CBI to maintain minimum levels of tangible net worth,
working capital and various financial ratios. The agreement further requires
that a minimum $100,000 cash balance be maintained in a cash collateral account.
The agreement also limits payments from CBI to CBH and limits dividends,
redemptions and purchases of capital stock of CBI, CBH and the Company. CBH
pledged to First Source all of the common stock of CBI to secure CBI's
obligations under the Credit Agreement and guaranteed CBI's debt obligations to
First Source under the Credit Agreement.

During the period from commencement of operations (June 2, 1995) through March
31, 1997 the Company violated the following covenants: 1) adjusted net worth at
June 2, 1995, 2) quarterly annual interest coverage ratios through December 31,
1995, 3) and substantially all of the financial covenants for the year ending
December 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

To date, First Source has continued to allow the Company to borrow up to the
full capacity of the working capital portion under the original terms of the
Credit Agreement and the Company has received no indication from First Source
that it intends to exercise its right under the Credit Agreement to accelerate
the maturity of the debt.

Because First Source has maintained its right to accelerate the maturity of the
debt due to the covenant violations, the Company has classified the debt as
current on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1996 and March 31,
1997.

Note 3.     Note Payable- Bank and Long-Term Debt (continued)

If First Source chooses to accelerate the maturity of the debt or if the Company
were to obtain alternate financing, certain unamortized debt issuance costs
classified as intangible assets would be charged to expense. Such unamortized
debt issuance costs totaled $468,125 at March 31, 1997. Additionally, the Credit
Agreement contains a prepayment penalty clause requiring the Company to pay up
to 2% of the then applicable revolving loan commitment, as defined in the Credit
Agreement, if the Company chooses to terminate the Credit Agreement prior to
June 1, 1997, 1% between June 2, 1997 and June 1, 1998 and none thereafter.

Amounts outstanding under the agreement at December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997,
are as follows:

                                               1996                1997

                                      ========================================

At March 31, 1997, the Company has approximately $250,000 available under the
original working capital note commitment.

During the year ended December 31, 1996 and the three months ended March 31,
1997, the Company made principal payments due on the long-term revolving note by
borrowing these amounts on the working capital note. In addition, the agreement
provided that interest be added to the notes.

CBI also has long-term notes payable of $142,334 and $135,251 outstanding at
December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997, respectively. The notes bear interest at
an approximate average of 11% and mature between May 1997 and August 2001.

Note 4.     Restatement

The Company has restated its 1995 and 1996 financial statements.

The Company previously had reflected the approximate $812,000 difference between
the agreed upon value of the land and building acquired by Realty in the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the approximate $288,000 for which Realty purchased the
facility as part of the goodwill resulting from the purchase of the Predecessor
Business. The Company has retroactively restated the accounting for this
transaction to reflect the $812,000 difference as a deemed return of capital to
the owners of Realty. The effect of the adjustment was to decrease additional
paid in capital and goodwill by approximately $812,000 and $793,000,
respectively at December 31, 1995 and by approximately $812,000 and $761,000,
respectively at December 31, 1996, and to increase net income by $12,504 and
$21,437 for the period ended December 31, 1995 and year ended December 31, 1996,
respectively.

RAGAR CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A New York Corporation)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 4.     Restatement (continued)

The Company previously included the outstanding preferred stock of CBH as part
of its stockholders' equity. Since the Company does not hold the CBH preferred
stock, the preferred stock should be reported as a minority interest on the
consolidated balance sheet, and the preferred stock dividends reported as
dividends to preferred stockholders of subsidiary on the consolidated income
statement. The effect of the adjustment was to decrease net income and Preferred
Stock by $203,395 and $3,117,274, respectively, and increased minority interest:
preferred stock of subsidiary by $3,117,274 for the period ended December 31,
1995, as compared to amounts originally reported. The adjustment had no effect
on retained earnings of the Company.

The Company issued shares of common stock to its former Chief Financial Officer
and an unrelated party for services provided prior to the June 2, 1995
acquisition disclosed in Note 2. Such shares were issued for cash consideration
equal to their par value. The Company has now recorded these shares at their
estimated fair value and has included them as part of the acquisition costs
discussed in Note 2. The effect of this adjustment was to increase additional
paid in capital by $246,925, increase goodwill by $241,163, and decrease net
income by $5,762 for the period ended December 31, 1995, as compared to the
amounts as originally reported.

In the current quarter, the Company reported its cash flows using the indirect
method. In 1996, the Company had reported its cash flows under the direct
method. The cash flow statement for 1996 has been restated to the indirect
method to be consistent with the current presentation.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company relates to the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 and should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
elsewhere in this Report.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1997.

Total revenues decreased by $506,951 to $9,258,004 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 from $9,764,955 for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
representing a decrease of 5.2%. This decrease is attributable primarily to a
decrease in New Housing Division sales for the first three months of 1997 as
compared to first three months of 1996. During the first quarter of 1997, it is
estimated that new home unit sales volume decreased by approximately 2.7% in the
Las Vegas market place. The decrease in revenues was also affected by a decrease
in Replacement Sales Division due to increased competition in the Las Vegas
market.

The gross profit decreased by $255,167 to $2,424,861 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 from $2,680,028 for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
representing a decrease of 9.5%. Also, the gross profit percentage declined from
27.6% in 1996 to 25.8% in 1997. This decline in gross profit percentage is due
to the above mentioned decline in sales and to increased competition in the Las
Vegas market.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $126,921 to $1,688,936
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $1,562,015 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996. This increase is due to the following approximate changes:
(1) increases in salaries and related payroll taxes of $233,000, due primarily
to an increase in the number of employees, (2) professional expenses associated
with the annual audit and required public filings of $50,000, (3) an increase in
advertising expense of $47,000 and (4) an increase in rent expense of $45,000
and telephone expense of $31,000 primarily due to the opening of the new home
design center and an additional retail location. These increases were partially
offset by (1) a decrease in workers' compensation expense due to a reduction in
the modification rate, a decrease in volume in the first quarter of 1997 and a
refund of approximately $132,000 and (2) a decrease in management and consulting
fees of $95,000.

Amortization and depreciation expense increased from $310,895 in 1996 to
$314,984 in 1997, primarily due to increased depreciation expense on equipment
purchases in 1996 and 1997.

Operating income decreased by $386,177 to $420,941 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 from $807,118 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Although
interest expense decreased by only $12,852 from $414,993 in 1996 to $402,141 in
1997, included in interest expense in 1997 is a non-cash charge of $106,800
relating to advances received in February 1997 as further described in
"Liquidity and Capital Resources". The reduction in interest expense of $119,652
after adjusting for the non-cash interest on these advances is due to principal
payments made on debt obligations. The provision for income taxes decreased by
$129,750 due to the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Dividends to preferred stockholders of subsidiary increased from $124,200 in
1996 to $139,800 in 1997 due to the Company's subsidiary CBH's issuance of
additional shares of preferred stock in early 1996. Net income (loss) decreased
by $260,218 to $(125,295) for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from
$134,923 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. These decreases were due
principally to the 

                                      13

<PAGE>

above-mentioned decrease in sales/gross profit, increases in selling, general
and administrative expenses and increases in divdends to preferred
stockholders of subsidiary partially offset by corresponding decreases in
interest expense and income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities was $832,900 and $546,380 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1996
respectively. At March 31, 1997, the Company had a working capital deficit of
$10,587,565. Included in such deficit is $10,624,272 due to First Source under
the credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") discussed below. The Company's
growth and acquisition strategy will require significant additional cash.

The results of operations of the Company have been impacted as a result of the
restructuring of the Company after the Acquisition. Prior to the Acquisition,
the Predecessor Business had a positive tangible net worth in contrast to the
Company, which has had a negative tangible net worth due to the increase in
intangibles and debt resulting from the Acquisition. The Company is highly
leveraged and is subject to the risks associated with a highly leveraged
Company. The Company's ratio of indebtedness for borrowed money to stockholders
equity at March 31, 1997 was 3.4:1.

On March 19, 1997, the Company's shareholders approved a rincorporation proposal
for the Company. The reincorporation proposal would be effected through the
merger of the Company with Nations Flooring, Inc., ("Nations") a newly formed
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware. Nations will be
the surviving corporation after the merger. The agreement provides that all
assets, liabilities, property, rights and obligations of the Company would be
transferred to and assumed by Nations.

In the merger, each four (4) shares of the Company's common stock will be
exchanged for one (1) share of Nations common stock. The effect of this exchange
will be similar to a one for four reverse stock split of the Company.

This proposed merger has not been reflected in the accompanying financial
statements.

On January 16, 1997, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with respect to a proposed
offering of common stock of Nations Flooring, Inc. ("Public Offering"). This
Registration Statement has not yet been declared effective. These securities may
not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the Registration
Statement becomes effective. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall
there be any sale of these securities in any State in which such offer,
solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification
under the securities laws of any such State. These securities will be sold for
the account of Nations Flooring, Inc. and the managing underwriter of such
offering is Chatfield Dean & Co. A prospectus relating to such offering of
Nations Flooring, Inc. common stock may be obtained from the Company at its
offices set forth on the cover page of this Quarterly Report. If the Company is
unable to complete the Public Offering, it intends to pursue other financing
alternatives available to it.

The term portion of the Credit Agreement is due May 31, 1999 and the revolving
portion is due May 31, 1997, subject to extension in certain circumstances to
May 31, 1999. All borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the
base rate per annum announced from time to time by The First National Bank of
Chicago (8.50% at May 12, 1997) plus 2.25% per annum (currently 10.75% per
annum), 

                                      14

payable monthly. As of April 30, 1997, the Company had borrowed approximately
$2,840,000, leaving approximately $160,000 available from First Source under a
$3,000,000 working capital note and had no availability from First Source
under a $14,000,000 revolving note that had an outstanding balance and
commitment of $7,875,000. The Company received advances from unrelated parties
totaling $534,000 during February 1997, which enabled it to make the principal
payment of $875,000, due to First Source on February 28, 1997. These advances
bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly. Additionally, if
the advance is repaid within three months of the date of the advance, the
lender will receive 40% of the dollar amount of the advance in shares of
common stock of the Company. This amount increases by 20% for each additional
three month period the advance is outstanding, capping at 100% if the advance
is not repaid within 9 months. The per share value of the shares of common
stock of the Company issued to satisfy this obligation will be based on the
average bid price of the stock for the thirty day period prior to the payment
date. The value of the shares to be issued is being accrued over the life of
the debt. Interest expense of $112,140 relating to these advances has been
reflected in the accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 1997.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants requiring CBI to maintain minimum levels
of tangible net worth, working capital and various ratios. During the period
from June 2, 1995 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 1997, the
Company has failed to meet the following financial covenants: (1) adjusted net
worth at June 30, 1995, (2) quarterly and annual interest coverage ratios
through December 31, 1995, 3) and substantially all of the financial convenants
for the year ending December 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31,
1997. On April 15, 1996 First Source waived, through June 1, 1996, the covenant
violations occurring prior to such time and agreed to negotiate in good faith to
amend such covenants by June 1, 1996 so that the Company could reasonably expect
to be in compliance with the amended covenants based on its operating and cash
flow budgets. In connection with obtaining the waiver the Company agreed to
limit certain payments, including principal payments of CBH's subordinated debt,
with the exception that such payments could be made from the proceeds of newly
acquired capital, if any. Payments of the CBH preferred stock dividends have
been made by Branin on behalf of the Company in the amount of $46,600 per month.
Consequently, as of April 30, 1997, the Company was obligated to Branin in the
amount of approximately $559,000. Because the Company and Branin anticipates
repayment of these advances in the near future, no stated interest rate exists
on these advances and no interest has been imputed.

To date, First Source has allowed the Company to borrow up to the full capacity
under the original terms of the Credit Agreement, and the Company has received
no indication from that it intends to exercise its right under the Credit
Agreement to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Because First Source has
maintained its right to accelerate the maturity of the debt due to the covenant
violations, the Company has classified the debt as current on the consolidated
balance sheets as of December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997.

If First Source chooses to accelerate the maturity of the debt or if the Company
were to obtain alternate financing certain unamortized debt acquisition costs
classified as intangible assets would be charged to expense. Such unamortized
debt acquisition costs totaled $468,125 at March 31, 1997. Additionally, the
Credit Agreement contains a prepayment penalty clause requiring the Company to
pay up to 2% of the then applicable revolving loan commitment, as defined in the
Credit Agreement, if the Company chooses to terminate the Credit Agreement prior
to June 1, 1997, 1% between June 2, 1997 and June 1, 1998 and none thereafter.

The Company is currently exploring other financing options which are available
to it. On February 19, 1997, the Company's subsidiary, Carpet Barn, Inc., signed
a commitment letter for a $12,500,000 credit 

                                      15

<PAGE>

facility with Finova Capital Corporation. The credit facility would include a
revolving line of credit in the amount $5.5 million secured by eligible
accounts receivable and inventory. The credit facility also would include a
term loan portion of $7.0 million due in three years, amortized on a five year
straight line basis. The revolving line of credit would bear interest at
Citibank N.A.'s reference rate (currently 8.50%) plus 1.0% per annum and the
term loan would bear interest at such reference rate plus 2.0% per annum. In
addition, the credit facility would be secured by CBI's present and future
tangible and intangible assets and would include a pledging of the stock of
CBI and guarantees by CBH and Ragar. The commitment expires June 15, 1997 and
is conditioned upon the negotiation and execution of the customary
documentation and the completion of the Public Offering. The loan agreement
will contain customary representations, warranties, events of default and
remedies. If the Company is able to complete the Public Offering and obtain
the credit facility, the proceeds will be used to repay all borrowings under
the First Source credit agreement, to redeem all or a significant portion of
the CBH preferred stock, and to repay all amounts owed to Branin. Any
remaining proceeds will be available for general corporate purposes, including
acquisitions. If the Company is unable to fulfill the conditions of obtaining
this credit facility, it will continue to explore financing alternatives
available to it.

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, cash used in investing activities
was $40,927. Cash used in financing activities during such period was $911,224,
used primarily to make principal payments on the Credit Agreement offset by
proceeds received from the unsecured advances in February 1997.

Branin, which beneficially owns 1,252,412 shares of Common Stock of the Company
and which is controlled by Philip A. Herman, Chairman, President and a
stockholder of the Company, will be entitled to receive a fee equal to
approximately $650,000 upon consummation of the Public Offering. Branin has
agreed to waive such fee in exchange for increasing its management consulting
fee discussed in the next two sentences to $20,000 per month, effective upon
completion of the Public Offering. In addition, CBI entered into consulting
arrangements with (a) Branin, pursuant to which CBI paid $35,000 per month to
Branin and (b) PAH Marketing, Inc. ("PAH"), a company controlled by Philip A.
Herman, pursuant to which CBI paid $5,000 per month to PAH. As of April 30,
1997, CBI owed Branin and PAH approximately $11,000 in respect of these
obligations. These arrangements were modified as of September 1, 1996 to provide
for payments to Branin of $10,000 per month and to discontinue payments to PAH.
These agreements were entered into for the purpose of receiving management
advisory services in the areas of operations management, financing and
acquisitions.

The Company opened two new locations in Las Vegas during 1996. The initial
capital costs for these two locations were provided in full by the Company's
suppliers in exchange for agreements by the Company to feature the suppliers'
products at these facilities. The Company anticipates that a substantial portion
of the capital requirements for any new locations will be funded by its
suppliers, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
effect such an arrangement. While the Company anticipates that a portion of the
costs will be funded by the suppliers, a significant portion of such costs will
be borne by the Company. Moreover, these new facilities will require additional
resources until they become profitable, and there can be no assurance as to the
amount of time required before they can become profitable, if ever.

As of February 25, 1997, the Company entered into a letter of intent (the
"Letter of Intent"), pursuant to which it may purchase the assets of Nonn's
Flooring, Inc. ("Nonn's"), a floorcovering retailer with 2 stores located in the
Madison, Wisconsin area, for a purchase price of $3,000,000 in cash, subject to
adjustment under certain circumstances (the "Purchase"). The Purchase is subject
to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement and to the Company's
satisfactory completion of its due diligence investigation. The Letter of Intent
contemplates that upon completion of the Purchase, employment 

                                      16

<PAGE>

agreements will be entered into between the Company and Kenneth Nonn and Janet
Meier, who are both executive officers of Nonn's. The description contained
herein is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Letter of
Intent, which is included as Exhibit 10.16 to the Company's December 31, 1996
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and incorporated herein by reference. The
Company's ability to complete the Purchase is dependent on its completion of
the Public Offering and the consummation of the financing contemplated by the
February 19, 1997 commitment letter with Finova Capital Corporation or the
consummation of alternative financing arrangements that will provide
sufficient cash resources to enable the Company to repay the borrowings under
the First Source Credit Agreement and to pay the cash price of the Purchase.

The Company believes that cash flow generated by operations has been sufficient
for the Company's working capital needs for 1996, and upon consummation of the
Public Offering and refinancing of the First Source debt, is likely to be
sufficient for the Company's working capital needs during 1997. Cash flow from
operations should be sufficient to cover operating expenses and should be
maintained or enhanced by the Company utilizing its business strategies.
However, the Company's growth and acquisition strategy will require substantial
cash for capital costs.

Impact of Inflation

The Company believes that its revenues are not materially affected by inflation
and that any increased expenses due to inflationary pressures will be offset,
over time, by corresponding increases in prices it charges to its customers.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation Determination

On September 5, 1996, the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and
Rehabilitation notified the Company that it had made a determination that the
Company had failed to pay unemployment taxes with respect to certain floor
covering installers. The Company appealed the decision and an appeals hearing
was held on February 5, 1997. The appeals referee agreed with the State of
Nevada and classified the installers as employees. The decision ordered no
retroactive tax or penalties, however, the Company will become responsible for
taxes for periods beginning April 1, 1997.

The Company believes, based in part on a prior determination by such Department
classifying the Predecessor's installers as independent contractors, that these
installers are not employees of the Company and the Company is not subject to
these payments. Many, though not all, of the Company's competitors also treat
carpet installers working under similar arrangements as independent contractors.
The Company will continue to vigorously defend its position and intends to
appeal the above decision to the Board of Review on or before the expiration of
its term of appeal. A more substantial cost would be incurred by the Company if
the installers were to be regarded as employees of the Company for Federal
withholding purposes. To date, there has been no indication that the Federal
government intends to require the Company to treat these carpet installers as
employees of the Company. However, there can be no assurance that the Federal
government will not pursue such action in the future. The amount of any
potential liability is unknown but the Company along with counsel believes that
any adverse outcome will not be material.

Termination of Mark Szporka

The employment of Mark Szporka, as the Company's Chief Financial Officer, was
terminated by the Company in August 1996. In connection with such termination
and pursuant to the terms of Mr. Szporka's employment agreement, the Company has
repurchased 581,000 shares of Common Stock from Mr. Szporka for $5,810. Mr.
Szporka has commenced a suit against the Company alleging he was wrongfully and
unlawfully terminated. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to such
allegations and intends to defend the matter vigorously.

Securities and Exchange Commission Inquiry

In a letter dated March 11, 1997, the Company received notice from the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Division of Enforcement, that an
informal inquiry into the Company as to certain accounting and other matters was
being conducted. The Company was requested to voluntarily provide and has
provided the SEC with certain documents as outlined in that letter. The SEC's
letter to the Company states that this inquiry is confidential and should not be
construed as an indication by the SEC or its staff that any violations of law
have occurred, or as a reflection upon any person, entity or security.

Management of the Company intends to fully cooperate with the SEC's informal
inquiry. No specific allegations have been made; therefore, no conclusion can be
reached as to what impact, if any, this inquiry may have on the Company or its
operations. however, the commencement or announcement of a formal investigation
by the Commission would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

                                      18

<PAGE>

The Company is also subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise
in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the amount of any
ultimate liability with respect to these actions in the aggregate or
individually will not materially affect the results of operations, cash flows or
financial position of the Company.
