NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 1995

Note 1. Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements included in this report
have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to
state fairly the information set forth therein. Any such
adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is
suggested that these unaudited consolidated financial statements be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended January 31, 1995.

Note 2. Accounting Policies

The interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in
the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. While management
believes that the procedures followed in the preparation of interim
financial information are reasonable, the accuracy of some
estimated amounts is dependent upon facts that will exist or
calculations that will be accomplished at fiscal year end.
Examples of such estimates include changes in the LIFO reserve
(based upon the Company's best estimate of inflation to date) and
management bonuses. Any adjustments pursuant to such estimates
during the quarter were of a normal recurring nature.

Note 3. Equivalent Shares Outstanding

The Company follows the treasury method of calculating common
equivalent shares outstanding. The following summarizes options
granted, exercised and cancelled or expired at October 31, 1995:

($3.25 to $18.975 per share) 1,515,387
---------
</TABLE>

Effective June 2, 1995, shareholders of the Company approved
an amendment and restatement of the Company's 1994 Incentive Stock
Option Plan, renamed the 1995 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan. Awards
under the amended Plan may be made in the form of incentive stock
options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock, other stock-based awards and cash incentive
awards. The amended Plan also provides for automatic yearly grants
of nonqualified stock options to nonemployee directors of the
Company. The maximum number of shares issuable under the amended
Plan was increased from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 shares.

Note 4. Revolving Line of Credit

Effective July 31, 1995, the Company entered into an amended
and restated revolving credit agreement with seven participating
banks/lenders which expires July 31, 2000. Under the terms of the
agreement, available revolving credit borrowings are equal to the
lesser of: (i) $100 million for the months of January through June
and $150 million for the months of July through December or (ii)
the sum of specific percentages of eligible accounts receivable and
eligible inventories. Borrowings available are reduced by any
letter of credit commitments outstanding (see Note 7 of the
Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K). At October 31, 1995,
there was approximately $51.2 million outstanding on the line of
credit with additional availability of approximately $61.5 million.

The interest rate on borrowings is at prime or LIBOR plus
1.875% (approximately 7.8%) and commitment fees of 1/4% are payable

9
on the unused portion.  Borrowings are secured by certain fixed
assets, accounts receivable and inventories.

The revolving credit agreement contains restrictive covenants
which require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios,
limit capital expenditures and limit the incurrence of additional
indebtedness. The Company is also restricted on paying dividends.


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

The Company is a leader in the consumer electronics/appliance
retailing industry, operating predominantly in small to medium sized
markets in the Midwest and Southeast. The Company opened its first
two stores in the West during the third quarter of fiscal 1996 and
anticipates further expansion into this region in the future.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the
relative percentages that certain income and expense items bear to
net sales:

Comparison of Nine Months Ended October 31, 1995 and 1994

Net sales in the third quarter ended October 31, 1995 were
$94.9 million compared to $80.2 million in the prior year's
comparable period, representing an increase of $14.7 million or
18.3%. This increase is primarily a result of 33 additional stores
in the current year's third quarter compared to the prior year's
third quarter, offset by a decline in comparable store merchandise
sales of 4.1% for the quarter. Net sales for the first nine months
of fiscal 1996 were $278.8 million compared to $230.4 million in
the first nine months of fiscal 1995, representing an increase of
$48.4 million or 21.0%. This increase is primarily a result of 33
additional store locations in the current year, offset by a decline
in comparable store merchandise sales of 3.5% on a year to date
basis. As of October 31, 1995, the Company had 175 stores compared
to 142 stores one year earlier. The Company considers a store to
be comparable after it has been open six fiscal quarters.

The Company opened ten stores and closed none during the first
nine months of fiscal 1996 and 1995. During the fourth quarter of
the current fiscal year, the Company will open an additional 24
stores bringing the total opened for the year to 34 stores. The
Company anticipates opening an additional 35 to 40 new stores in
fiscal 1997 and will continue to evaluate stores and markets and
will close store locations that are not adequately contributing to
Company profitability.

Gross profit of $24.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal
1996 (25.7% of net sales) was 21.3% higher than the $20.1 million
gross profit (25.1% of net sales) recorded in the third quarter of
fiscal 1995. The improved gross profit margin in the fiscal 1996
third quarter is primarily the result of lower merchandise cost on
certain products due to opportunistic purchasing. In the first
nine months of fiscal 1996 gross profit was $71.2 million (25.5% of
net sales), a 19.3% increase over gross profit of $59.6 million
(25.9% of net sales) for the first nine months of fiscal 1995. The
lower gross profit margin for the first nine months of fiscal 1996
is primarily a result of increased competition in certain markets,
the introduction of personal computers into 94 stores, which have
a lower gross profit margin, and a decline in extended service
contract revenues as a percentage of net sales, which generally
have a higher gross profit margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third
quarter of fiscal 1996 were $19.7 million (20.8% of net sales), a
16.9% increase over the $16.9 million (21.1% of net sales) for the
third quarter of fiscal 1995. Selling, general and administrative
expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 were $58.2
million (20.8% of net sales), a 14.6% increase over the $50.8
million (22.1% of net sales) for the first nine months of fiscal
1995. The increase in expense was primarily attributable to higher
payroll costs related to the increased number of stores and
increased sales, and higher advertising and general costs

11
associated with more store locations.  The reduction of selling,
general and administrative expense as a percent of net sales was
primarily a result of more efficient advertising for existing
stores and lower occupancy cost as a result of the increased number
of owned stores versus leased stores.

As a result of the foregoing, income from operations was $4.7
million (4.9% of net sales) in the third quarter of fiscal 1996, a
44.3% increase over $3.2 million (4.0% of net sales) for the third
quarter of fiscal 1995. Income from operations was $13.0 million
(4.7% of net sales) for the first nine months of fiscal 1996, a
46.4% increase over $8.9 million (3.8% of net sales) for the first
nine months of fiscal 1995.

Interest expense increased to $1.5 million (1.5% of net sales)
for the quarter ended October 31, 1995 from $600,000 (.7% of net
sales) for the previous year's third quarter. Interest expense for
the first nine months of fiscal 1996 increased to $3.2 million
(1.1% of net sales) from $1.3 million (.5% of net sales) for the
first nine months of fiscal 1995. This increase is primarily a
result of additional mortgage debt of $20.0 million (at an average
interest rate of approximately 9.5%) since October 31, 1994 and
higher borrowings on the line of credit during the current fiscal
year.

The effective tax rate approximates 39.5% for all periods
presented.

As a result of the foregoing, net income for the third quarter
of fiscal 1996 was $1.9 million, a 21.5% increase over $1.6 million
for the third quarter of fiscal 1995. Net income for the first
nine months of fiscal 1996 was $6.0 million, a 28.3% increase over
$4.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities was $46.3 million for
the nine months ended October 31, 1995. The primary use of cash
was an increase in inventory of $68.5 million due to preparations
for additional store locations and the Christmas selling season, as
well as opportunistic buying. This was partially offset by an
increase in trade payables of $16.8 million.

At October 31, 1995, working capital was $71.9 million
compared to $78.7 million at January 31, 1995. The ratio of
current assets to current liabilities was 1.6 to 1 at October 31,
1995, and 2.4 to 1 at January 31, 1995.

Effective July 31, 1995, the Company entered into an amended
and restated revolving credit agreement with seven participating
banks/lenders which expires July 31, 2000. Under the terms of the
agreement, available revolving credit borrowings are equal to the
lesser of: (i) $100 million for the months of January through June

12
and $150 million for the months of July through December or (ii)
the sum of specific percentages of eligible accounts receivable and
eligible inventories. The Company had outstanding borrowings of
$51.2 million on its revolving line of credit at October 31, 1995
at an average interest rate of 7.8%. At October 31, 1995, the
Company had approximately $61.5 million borrowing availability on
the revolving line of credit after reduction for outstanding
letters of credit.

During fiscal 1996, the Company has opened 34 new REX stores.
Capital expenditures for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 were
$19.6 million with additional expenditures of approximately $2
million to $3 million expected in the fourth quarter. The Company
has obtained long-term mortgage financing of $7.4 million for 13
stores during the nine months ended October 31, 1995. The Company
believes it will be able to obtain long-term mortgage financing on
a site-by-site basis for Company built or Company purchased store
locations.
