There was a substantial decrease in the revenues and net loss of the
registrant for the three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the
three months ended June 30, 1998. This resulted primarily from a reduction
in the number of stores operated by the registrant.
Since the registrant is still finalizing the financial statements for
the period, it is not possible to furnish a reasonable estimate of the
results at this time.
