BASIS OF INTERIM PRESENTATION The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the interim financial information. For interim reporting, the Company's subsidiary, Home Innovations. Inc. ("HII") uses an estimated gross profit based on information provided by its accounting and financial systems. At year-end, inventories of the Company are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market. The Company's business is seasonal in nature, with its highest sales levels historically occurring in the third and fourth fiscal quarters, which include the holiday selling season. Therefore, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results of the full year. 2. ORGANIZATION The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1996, include the accounts of Decorative Home Accents, Inc. ("DHA" or the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Rug Barn, Inc. and Home Innovations, Inc. (purchased on July 13, 1995). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. 3. BALANCE SHEET COMPONENTS Inventories are summarized as follows (in $000's):

9 10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION The following discussion provides management's assessment of the results of operations and liquidity and capital resources of DHA and should be read in conjunction with the respective financial statements of DHA and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The following table includes unaudited proforma financial information as if the July 1995 purchase of Home Innovations, Inc. ("HII") occurred as of January 1, 1995. Such adjustments to the proforma financial information consist principally of the following: net adjustments to cost of goods sold and SG&A expenses related to adjusting depreciation expense for the new basis of accounting resulting from the HII acquisition; increases in SG&A expenses to account for the amortization of goodwill and the identifiable intangible assets resulting from the HII acquisition; increases in SG&A expenses to account for compensation expense resulting from granting stock options at less than fair market value; net adjustments to interest expense resulting from issuance of 13% Senior Notes due 2002 and extinguishment of prior debt, amortization of debt issuance costs and accretion of discount on the Senior Notes. Management's discussion and analysis of the results of operations should be read using the proforma financial information presented below:
ACTUAL PROFORMA Three Months Ended ------------------ June 30, June 30, 1996 1995 -------- -------- Sales $44,495 $47,568 Cost of goods sold 31,740 35,400 ------- ------- Gross profit 12,755 12,168 Selling, general and administrative expenses 11,919 13,919 ------- ------- Income (loss) from operations 836 (1,751) Interest expense, net (4,917) (4,594) Gain on sale of equipment 0 175 Loss before income taxes $(4,081) $(6,170) ======= ======= ACTUAL PROFORMA Six Months Ended ----------------- June 30, June 30, 1996 1995 -------- -------- Sales $84,281 $100,280 Cost of goods sold 60,542 72,931 ------- -------- Gross profit 23,739 27,349 Selling, general and administrative expenses 23,770 25,379 ------- -------- Income (loss) from operations (31) 1,970 Interest expense, net (9,522) (8,816) Gain on sale of equipment 0 175 Loss before income taxes $(9,553) $ (6,671) ======= ========
10 11 IMPACT OF THE PURCHASE OF HOME INNOVATIONS, INC. On July 13, 1995, DHA acquired HII, a leading manufacturer of niche oriented home accessories with the following product categories: bath furnishings, window and specialty products, bedding products and the Calvin Klein Home Collection, a new line of designer home products launched in September 1995 under the Calvin Klein trademark. The cash purchase price of HII was approximately $95.1 million, after a $6.7 million reduction to the purchase price, including acquisition related costs of approximately $1.8 million and the assumption of approximately $32.8 million in liabilities consisting of trade payables and accruals and $2.3 million of junior subordinated notes. The $6.7 million adjustment to the purchase price was determined as a result of the level of net assets acquired as of the closing date and certain indemnifications from the sellers. The $6.7 million was received from the sellers in December, 1995. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS As described above, the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1995 reflect proforma adjustments related to the merger agreement discussed above. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 (Actual) with the Proforma Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 (with proforma adjustments as discussed above). NET SALES Net sales for three months ended June 30, 1996 decreased by $3.1 million, or 6.5% from $47.6 million of proforma net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $44.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Weak consumer demand and conservative inventory management by retailers served by the Company continued to negatively impact the June 30, 1996 quarter. While the Company experienced some improvement in retail conditions compared to the fourth quarter of 1995 and the first quarter of 1996, sales declined for the 1996 quarter compared to the same period in 1995. Additionally, 1996 second quarter sales were negatively impacted by furniture cover sales. The Company is significantly reducing its commitment to the furniture cover business because of substantial return problems generally experienced by the industry. Sales of Calvin Klein Home products positively impacted the quarter-to-quarter comparison. Sales of Calvin Klein Home products commenced in the third quarter of 1995. GROSS PROFIT The gross profit margin increased from a proforma of 25.6% for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to 28.7% for the three months ended June 30 , 1996. The 1995 margin was negatively impacted by substantial write-downs of slow moving, close-out and obsolete inventory. Plant operating strategies were changed in 1996 to help reduce the Company's exposure to inventory writedowns, particularly in the cut-and-sew and print plants. The new operating strategy also contributed to higher efficiencies in those plants. Gains from the plant operations and inventory control were offset somewhat by a slight decline in giftware margins resulting from a change in product mix. As the Company continues to broaden its giftware product offerings to maximize its distribution strength, the margins realized on certain products sourced through outside manufacturers will continue to put some downward pressure on margins. SELLING, GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES SG&A expenses decreased $2.0 million or 14.4% from a proforma of $13.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased from a proforma of 29.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to 26.8% for the same period of 1996. The 1995 amount was negatively impacted by significant charges recorded related to customer chargebacks and claims. Positively impacting the 1996 results were the ongoing cost and headcount reduction programs resulting from the July 1995 merger. Duplicate functions are being eliminated and cost reductions achieved from consolidating certain functions and services. Management of the Company expects 11 12 the cost reduction programs to continue to favorably impact the second half of 1996 compared to 1995 expense levels. Negatively impacting the amounts of SG&A expenses for 1995 and 1996 were the costs associated with Calvin Klein Home. Advertising and overhead expenses associated with Calvin Klein Home, as a percentage of sales, exceeded the level of the Company's mature businesses. This investment in the growth of the Calvin Klein Home Line is part of the Company's long-term plan and management of the Company expects that SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales will continue to exceed its other mature businesses for the next 12-24 months. INTEREST EXPENSE, NET Interest expense, net increased from a proforma of $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This increase was principally due to increased borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit during the second quarter of 1996. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS As described above, the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1995 reflect proforma adjustments related to the merger agreement discussed above. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 (Actual) with the Proforma Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 (with proforma adjustments as discussed above). NET SALES Net sales for six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased by $16.0 million, or 16.0% from $100.3 million of proforma net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $84.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. A soft retail climate continued to negatively impact sales. While the most significant decline was in furniture cover sales, all product lines and distribution channels served by the Company were impacted. A modest improvement in retail conditions was experienced by the Company in the second quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared to the fourth quarter of 1995 and the first quarter of 1996. However, the improvement did not completely offset the negative impact of the weak retail environment on 1996 sales. The decrease in furniture cover sales was offset by sales of Calvin Klein Home products. Currently, management of the Company expects full year sales for 1996 to be below 1995 levels as a result of the difficult retail climate. GROSS PROFIT The gross profit margin increased from a proforma of 27.3% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to 28.2% for the six months ended June 30 , 1996. The improvement in the 1996 period is attributable primarily to higher plant efficiencies and stronger controls over inventory. The 1995 proforma gross profit margin reflects the effect of substantial efficiency losses in the Company's cut-and- sew and print plants. Additionally, the Company recorded substantial inventory writedowns in the 1995 period. Gross margins for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were negatively impacted by some declines in the giftware trade margins. As the Company continues to broaden its giftware product offerings to maximize its distribution strength, the margins realized on certain products sourced through outside manufacturers will continue to put some downward pressure on margins. SELLING, GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES SG&A expenses decreased $1.6 million or 6.3% from a proforma of $25.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $23.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased to 28.2% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from a proforma of 25.3% for the same period of 1995. The increase in SG&A expenses, as a 12 13 percentage of sales, resulted from the fixed nature of many of the Company's SG&A costs, particularly salaries and benefits and the reduced sales for six months ending June 30, 1996. From an absolute dollar standpoint, the 1995 results were negatively impacted by uncollectible accounts charges resulting from customer chargebacks and claims. Additionally, substantial expenditures related to the September, 1995 launch of the Calvin Klein Home Line negatively impacted SG&A expenses for the first half of 1995. The negative impact on SG&A expenses continued, to a lesser extent, as advertising and overhead expenses related to the new Calvin Klein Home Line continued in 1996. As a percentage of sales, the SG&A expenses associated with the Calvin Klein Home Line exceeded those of the Company's mature businesses. This investment in the growth of the Calvin Klein Home is part of the Company's long-term plan and management of the Company expects that SG&A expense as a percentage of sales will continue to exceed its other mature businesses for the next 12-24 months. Favorably impacting the 1996 results was the on-going cost and headcount reduction programs resulting from the July, 1995 acquisition of Home Innovations. Integration of certain overhead functions as well as the elimination of duplicative headcount began to positively impact the Company's result for the second quarter of 1996. Management of the Company expects that SG&A expenses will continue to be favorably impacted from these programs for the balance of 1996. INTEREST EXPENSE, NET Interest expense, net increased from a proforma of $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This increase was principally due to increased borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit during the first six months of 1996. INCOME TAXES The Company has recognized an income tax benefit arising from the year-to-date loss. The Company has not provided a valuation allowance on the related deferred tax asset. Management of the Company currently believes that the deferred tax asset reported in the June 30, 1996 Balance Sheet will be fully realized in the foreseeable future. SEASONALITY The Company's business is seasonal in nature with its highest sales levels historically occurring during the third and fourth fiscal quarters, which includes the holiday selling season. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary sources of liquidity for operations and expansion have historically been funds generated internally and borrowings under the Company's $50.0 million revolving credit facility. Available borrowings under the credit facility are based on specified levels of underlying collateral. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had approximately $10.9 million available under the revolving credit facility described above (net of $18.7 million of outstanding borrowings and $2.6 million in outstanding letters of credit). The Company intends to utilize borrowings under the revolving credit facility to meet seasonal fluctuations in the Company's working capital requirements, typically peaking in early October, and to fund the anticipated build up of inventory relating to the continuing rollout of the Calvin Klein Home line of products. Management believes the Calvin Klein Home line of products have increased the Company's working capital needs in 1996 by approximately $8 to $12 million from 1995 levels. Management believes that the working capital requirements related to Calvin Klein in 1996 peaked in April 1996. Management believes that the Company's cash flow from operations and borrowing under the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund the Calvin Klein Home requirements. The obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured by a first lien on the inventory and receivables of The Rug Barn, Inc. and Home Innovations, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The revolving credit facility contains certain financial and other covenants with which the Company must comply, including, but not limited to a requirement to maintain certain financial ratios and limitations on the ability of Rug Barn and Home Innovations to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends. The Company was in compliance with the loan covenants, as amended, at June 30, 1996. 13 14 Cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. In addition to the Company's net loss, cash used for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 was driven by an additional investment of $1.7 million in inventory as well as reductions in trade payables and accruals totaling $4.2 million. Additionally, other current assets increased by approximately $2.0 million primarily as a result of prepaid catalog costs associated with new product roll-outs. The incremental inventory investment related almost entirely to the new Calvin Klein Home Line. Excluding investment made in Calvin Klein inventory, the Company's inventory investment decreased by approximately $6 million or 14%, from December 31, 1995 amounts. The Company's cash from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was positively impacted by a $2.4 million reduction in receivables resulting from increased emphasis on collections. Capital expenditures for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 approximated $1.9 million. The Company currently has no material commitments for capital expenditures. Borrowings under the Company's line of credit increased by approximately $13.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 1996. Additionally, the Company paid dividends totaling $1.75 million on its redeemable preferred stock in January, 1996. During the balance of 1996, the Company expects that dividends will be paid in kind rather than in cash. Management expects that the Company's cash flow from operations and borrowings under the revolving credit facility, as required, will be adequate to finance anticipated operation needs, planned capital expenditures and to meet its debt service obligations in 1996. INFLATION Although the operations of the Company are generally influenced by economic conditions, the Company does not believe that inflation had a material effect on the results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. The Company has been historically able to mitigate the impact of the increases in the spot market prices of cotton through fixed price purchase contracts. EFFECT OF COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROVISIONS Compliance with Federal, State and local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials in the environment, or otherwise relating to protection of the environment, has not had, and is not expected to have, a material adverse effect on the capital expenditures, net income or competitive position of the Company. PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 The statements contained in this Item 2 (Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company cautions readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that a number of important factors could cause the Company's actual results in 1996 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the general economic and business conditions affecting the retail industry, the Company's ability to meet its debt service obligations, contractual restrictions on HII's and the Rug Barn's ability to pay dividends to the Company, competition from a variety of firms ranging from small manufacturers to large textile mills, the seasonality of the Company's sales, the volatility of the Company's raw material cost, the Company's dependence on key personnel and the risk of loss of a material customer or a significant license. These and other factors are more fully described in the Company's previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including, without limitation, the Company's Prospectus dated November 10, 1995. 14 15 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. Management believes that none of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. ITEM 2.

Notwithstanding the determination of Agent and Co-Agent not to make further revisions with respect to the method of calculation of Borrowing Base at the present time as a result of the March 7, 1996 field audit, Agent and Co-Agent shall retain all of their respective rights at any time hereafter to make determinations with respect to the calculation of the Borrowing Base and any reserves applicable thereto, as well as their respective rights to make determinations as to which Accounts and Inventory should be included as Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding any prior failure of all parties to this Agreement to either execute an amendment to the Credit Agreement setting forth revisions to the method of calculation of the Borrowing Base or to acknowledge in writing that no revisions were necessary with respect to the method of calculation of the Borrowing Base, the Second Amendment and Third Amendment have been and will remain in full force and effect, except to the extent specifically amended by this Amendment or hereafter specifically amended.
