NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore,
do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. The financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and all such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.


NOTE B - Interim LIFO Calculations

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the
end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.
Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on
management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Since
these are affected by factors beyond management's control, interim results are
subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

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


FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain statements we make in this report, and other written or oral statements
made by or on behalf of the Company, may constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Examples of such
statements in this report include descriptions of our plans with respect to new
store openings and relocations, our plans to enter new markets and expectations
relating to our continuing growth. These statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from the Company's historical experience and our present expectations or
projections. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are
reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on such statements.
Such statements speak only as of the date they are made and we undertake no
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether
as a result of future events, new information or otherwise. The following are
some of the factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ
materially from the anticipated results described in the Company's
forward-looking statements: the ability to maintain favorable arrangements and
relationships with key suppliers (including domestic and international
sourcing); conditions affecting the availability and affordability of retail
real estate sites; the ability to attract, train and retain highly qualified
associates to staff corporate positions, existing and new stores and
distribution facilities; general economic and financial market conditions,
which affect consumer confidence and the spending environment for big ticket
items; competition in the retail furniture industry; and changes in laws and
regulations, including changes in accounting standards, tax statutes or
regulations.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002, increased
8.4% and 6.3% over the same periods for 2001, respectively. Comparable-store
sales increased 6.6% and 4.9% for the second quarter and six-month period,
respectively. A store's results are included in the comparable-store sales
computation beginning with the one-year anniversary of its opening, expansion,
or the date when it was otherwise non-comparable. Management believes that the
increase is indicative of many consumers fulfilling desires to purchase home
furnishings which were deferred in the prior year. Recent unsettling economic
news, coupled with reluctance by consumers to spend discretionary sums as their
stock market wealth declines, may cause some consumers to postpone big ticket
purchases such as furniture over the next few months. The Company has continued
to provide a consistent and effective message of the Company's breadth of
fashionable merchandise in its advertising rather than marketing a variety of
promotional opportunities. Management believes that the merchandising and
advertising of well-known brand name products and accessory items selected to
appeal to its customer base have improved sales for all of the Company's
merchandise, including its own private-label products.

Gross profit, as a percent of sales, was 47.4% for the second quarter of 2002
compared to 47.5% for the comparable period of 2001 and 47.8% compared to 47.5%
for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in
the second quarter of 2002 was caused largely by closeouts from store
relocations and remodelings. Management believes that the decline was partly
offset by the impact of increasing the mix of products imported from Asia and
the Havertys brand products, since these items generally carry a modestly
higher gross margin. The Company expanded its private-label merchandise line
from approximately 18% of items selected for inclusion in the Company's core
assortment at the end of the first quarter of 2001 to 30% at the end of the
first quarter of 2002.

Second quarter credit service charge revenues decreased to 1.3% of net sales
from 1.9% in the prior year period. This reduction is due to the continuing
trend toward more customer usage of financing alternatives, offered by or
through the Company, which allow for longer periods of free interest.


7



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


Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of net sales,
decreased to 43.3% from 44.3% for the quarter and to 42.1% from 43.4% for the
six months ended June 30 as compared to the prior year periods. This reduction
is attributed to emphasis on containing costs along with the increased sales
volume which allows for the normal leveraging of fixed costs. During the second
quarter of 2002, the Company incurred and recorded expenses of approximately
$1.5 million associated with the planned openings of ten new stores and three
distribution facilities. These additional expenses were offset in part by
reduced advertising costs. Lower paper prices during the period significantly
reduced the cost of the Company's newspaper inserts and mailers, which are an
important part of the Company's overall advertising media mix.

The provision for doubtful accounts, as a percent of net sales, was 0.6% for
the second quarter and first six months of 2002 and 2001. Management does not
expect the provision to vary much from this rate for the remainder of 2002. The
impact of a possible difficult economic environment is likely to be offset by a
lower overall level of accounts receivable due to the outsourcing of one credit
program late last year.

Interest expense decreased $1 million and $2.1 million for the quarter and the
six months ended June 30, 2002 periods. This is due to a 20.6% and 17.5%
decrease in the Company's average debt level and a reduction in the effective
interest rate by 60 and 90 basis points in the comparable periods.

Net income, as a percent of sales, was 2.3% and 1.7% for the second quarter and
3.1% and 2.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Diluted earnings per share were $0.17 and $0.12 for the second quarter and
$0.47 and $0.32 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

The Company has historically used internally generated funds, bank borrowings
and private placements with institutions to finance its operations and growth.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $39.6 million during the first
six months of 2002 versus only $14.4 million for the same period last year.
Accounts receivable during the first six months decreased at a faster pace than
in the prior year. During 2001, accounts payable decreased during the first
half of the year since purchases were reduced in reaction to slower sales.

Investing activities used $20.3 million of cash during the six months ended
June 30, 2002. Capital expenditures during the period were $19.4 million for
new store construction and renovations, most of which will be completed in the
third quarter.

Financing activities used $18.3 million of cash during the first half of 2002.
The Company reduced its borrowings under its revolving and short-term credit
facilities by $14 million, and made $5.6 million in long-term debt repayments.

The Company has two revolving credit facilities totaling $80 million with three
and one-half year terms and a $45 million short-term revolving note. These
unsecured facilities were syndicated with six commercial banks and accrue
interest at LIBOR plus a spread which is based on a fixed charge coverage
ratio. At June 30, 2002, borrowings under the facilities were $76.0 million of
which $62.5 million was classified as long-term debt. The Company has used $3.6
million of availability for letters of credit and accordingly at June 30, 2002,
there was $45.4 million of unused borrowing capacity under these facilities.


8



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


In addition to cash flow from operations, the Company uses bank lines of credit
on an interim basis to finance capital expenditures and repay long-term debt.
Longer-term transactions such as private placements of senior notes,
sale/leasebacks and mortgage financings are used periodically to reduce
short-term borrowings and manage interest-rate risk. The Company pursues a
diversified approach to its financing requirements and balances its overall
capital structure as determined by the interest rate environment with
fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of
changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt (47.4% of total debt was
fixed or interest rate protected as of June 30, 2002). The Company's average
effective interest rate on all borrowings (excluding capital leases) was 5.3%
at June 30, 2002.

Capital expenditures for the remainder of 2002 are presently expected to
include the following: construction of a new replacement store in the
Dallas/Ft. Worth market; the remodeling of one existing Haverty store and six
former Homelife stores; the exercise of purchase options on three leased
locations; the purchase of equipment for new replacement distribution
facilities; the purchase of trailers and equipment for shuttling prepped
merchandise to local markets for home delivery; other real estate projects that
will not be completed in 2002; and various information systems and software.
The preliminary estimate for these second half 2002 capital expenditures is
approximately $34 million.

The Company's remaining capital expenditures for 2002 will be funded by the
proceeds from a sale-leaseback transaction that was completed during the third
quarter of 2002. This transaction generated approximately $41.8 million from
the sale of 11 retail store locations. Management expects that the resulting
increase in rent expense will average approximately $4.6 million annually for
the initial 20-year lease term, largely offset by lower depreciation and
interest expense. Management expects proceeds from the third quarter 2002 sales
of warehouse facilities to be exited will be approximately $7 million.


SEASONALITY

Although the Company does not consider its business to be seasonal, sales are
somewhat higher in the second half of the year.


9



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK


At June 30, 2002, the Company had two outstanding interest-rate swap
agreements, each having a notional amount of $10 million at rates of 5.75% and
5.72% and maturing September 30, 2005. Under the agreements, the Company makes
payments at the fixed rate and receives payments at variable rates that are
based on LIBOR, adjusted quarterly.

The Company also had at June 30, 2002, an outstanding Treasury lock agreement
having a notional amount of $25 million at a base Treasury yield of 5.27% and
terminating during the third quarter of 2002. This instrument was related to
the sale-leaseback transaction which was also completed in the third quarter.
Under the agreement, the Company makes payments if the yield at termination is
below the base Treasury yield and receives payment if the Treasury return
increases above the base Treasury yield.
