      Certain statements contained herein, including, without limitation,
information appearing under Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," are forward-looking statements
(within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Forward-looking statements involve a number of
risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, general economic
conditions, increases in materials, printing, paper, postage, shipping and labor
costs, timing of catalog mailings, customer response rates, levels of
competition and other factors outside the control of the Company. These factors,
and other factors that appear with the forward-looking statements, or in the
Company's other Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1998, could affect the
Company's actual results and could cause the Company's actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on
behalf of, the Company herein.

    All references in this Report to a particular fiscal year refer to the year
ended January 31 following the particular year (e.g., "fiscal 1998" refers to
the fiscal year ending January 31, 1999). As used in this Report, references to
"dELiA*s" or the "Company" prior to the 1996 Reorganization (described in "Item
1--Consolidated Financial Statements") mean dELiA*s LLC and its predecessor and,
thereafter, dELiA*s Inc. and its subsidiaries.

                        FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)

Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and therefore do not
include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which
consist only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of
the results of operations for the relevant periods have been made. Results for
the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the year.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Business

      dELiA*s Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company"
or "dInc") is a leading direct marketer of casual apparel and related
accessories to girls and young women primarily between the ages of 10 and 24 (an
age group known as "Generation Y") and, as a result of a recent acquisition, of
soccer merchandise to Generation Y boys and girls. Through its dELiA*s catalog,
the Company offers a broad selection of recognized and emerging brands of teen
apparel and accessories, complemented by the Company's own branded products.
Through its TSI Soccer catalog and its 13 TSI Soccer retail stores, the Company
offers a wide range of soccer shoes, apparel and equipment to young soccer
enthusiasts. The Company maintains a corporate headquarters, telemarketing and
customer service group in New York, New York and operates a fulfillment facility
for processing merchandise in Hanover, Pennsylvania. It also operates two
dELiA*s retail outlet stores.

      The Company is subject to seasonal fluctuations in its merchandise sales
and results of operations. The Company expects its sales operating results
generally to be lower in the first and second quarters than in the third and
fourth quarters (which include the majority of the back-to-school season and the
holiday season) of each fiscal year.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

      a. Principles of Consolidation--The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of dInc and subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

      b. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements--In the opinion of management,
the unaudited financial statements for the three month periods ended April 30,
1997 and 1998 are presented on a basis consistent with the audited financial
statements and reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results thereof. The
results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the entire year.

       NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

      c. Recent Accounting Pronouncements--In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income. The Company has determined that
the adoption of this new standard would not have had a material effect on the
Company's disclosure for all periods presented.

      In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for periods beginning
after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131 requires that public companies report
certain information about operating segments in their annual financial
statements and in condensed financial statements of interim periods issued to
shareholders. This statement also requires that public companies report certain
information about their products and services, the geographic areas in which
they operate and their major customers. The Company is currently reviewing the
impact of this statement on its current level of disclosure.

      In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 132 revises employers'
disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not
change the measurement or recognition of those plans. This statement
standardizes the disclosure requirements for pension and other postretirement
benefits to the extent practicable, requires additional information on changes
in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate
financial analysis, and eliminates certain disclosures. The Company has
determined that the adoption of this new standard will not have a material
effect on the Company's disclosure for all periods presented.

4.   Credit and Financing Agreements

      At April 30, 1998, the Company had a line of credit agreement with a bank
providing for short-term loans of up to $5.0 million subject to bank approval.
Borrowings under the agreement are secured by all assets of the Company except
for merchandise inventories and bear interest at the prime rate plus two percent
(10.25 percent and 10.5 percent April 30, 1998 and January 31, 1998,
respectively). There were no funds borrowed under the agreement during the three
month period ended April 30, 1998 and the fiscal year ended January 31, 1998.

5.   Stock Options

      In the three month period ended April 30, 1998, options to purchase an
aggregate of 562,750 shares of Common Stock were granted to 96 employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries. These options will become exercisable over a
period of ten months to four years from the date of grant. The exercise price
per share of each such option is equal to the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant.

      The Company applies APB No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting
for its stock option and purchase plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense
has been recognized for those plans in the three month period ended April 30,
1998 and the year ended January 31, 1998.


6.  Subsequent Event

      On June 1, 1998, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
pursuant to which it intends to acquire 24 retail stores operated under the
Screeem! and Jean Country names. The purchase price consists of $23.4 million,
of which $9.4 million is payable in cash and $14.0 million is payable in Common
Stock. The purchase price is subject to certain pre-closing and post-closing
adjustments. Completion of the transaction is subject to the obtaining of
certain third party consents and regulatory approvals. The transaction will be
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. It is expected to be
consummated by the end of June 1998.

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

      The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included
elsewhere in this Report.

Overview

    The Company is a leading direct marketer of casual apparel and related
accessories to girls and young women. Through its recently acquired TSI
subsidiary, the Company also sells a broad range of soccer-related merchandise
and apparel to young men and women through catalogs and 13 retail stores.

      On June 1, 1998, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
pursuant to which it intends to acquire 24 retail stores operated under the
Screeem! and Jean Country names (the "Screeem! Acquisition"). The purchase price
consists of $23.4 million, of which $9.4 million is payable in cash and $14.0
million is payable in Common Stock. The purchase price is subject to certain
pre-closing and post-closing adjustments. Completion of the transaction is
subject to the obtaining of certain third party consents and regulatory
approvals. The transaction will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. It is expected to be consummated by the end of June 1998.

      In connection with the Screeem! Acquisition, the Company plans to incur
substantial expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 as it allocates more
resources to retail expansion. In addition, the Company is slowing circulation
of the Company's dELiA*s catalog in the second quarter due to softer response
rates to the catalogs mailed by the Company during the first three months of
fiscal 1998. The Company expects that these developments will have an adverse
impact on sales and net income in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.

Results of Operations

    The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage
relationship of certain items from the Company's statement of operations to net
sales. Any trends reflected by the following table may not be indicative of
future results.

</TABLE>

Comparison of Three Months Ended April 30, 1997 and 1998

      Net Sales. Net sales increased approximately $13.5 million to $31.2
million in the first three months of fiscal 1998 from $17.7 million in the first
three months of fiscal 1997. The increase in net sales was primarily due to an
increase in the number of catalogs mailed, and to a lesser extent, because of
the opening of new retail stores. The Company distributed approximately twice as
many catalogs in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 as in the first three months
of fiscal 1997. Aggregate response rates from catalogs distributed in the first
three months of fiscal 1998 declined relative to catalogs distributed in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 as the Company (i) broadened the distribution of
its catalogs and increased its prospecting efforts and (ii) mailed additional
catalog editions during the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to a large number of
persons who had received a prior edition of those catalogs earlier in the
period. The

                                       9
<PAGE>

Company believes aggregate response rates will usually decline when it mails
additional catalog editions within the same fiscal period.

      Gross Margin. Gross margin increased to 54.4% in the first three months of
fiscal 1998 from 47.6% in the first three months of fiscal 1997. The increase in
gross margin was due in part to (i) the greater proportion of higher-margin
apparel sales from the dELiA*s catalog in relation to lower-margin
soccer-related merchandise through the TSI Soccer catalog and retail stores and
(ii) lower markdowns and better recovery on discounted sales through the
Company's liquidation outlets (including its dELiA*s outlet store and winter
sales circular).

      Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased approximately $6.1 million, to $14.1 million
in the first three months of fiscal 1998 from $8.0 million in the first three
months of fiscal 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as
a percentage of net sales from 45.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to
45.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The slight decrease as a percentage
of net sales was primarily due to leverage of certain fixed expenses and
improved efficiencies at the Company's TSI Soccer operations, offset by greater
spending on catalog circulation and additional spending on management and
systems infrastructure.

      Interest Income, Net. Interest income, net, increased approximately
$128,000 to $341,000 in the first three months of fiscal 1998 from $213,000 in
the first three months of fiscal 1997. The increase in interest income, net, was
primarily due to the Company's investment of the net proceeds from its 1997
follow-on public offering of Common Stock, which proceeds were received in the
second quarter of fiscal 1997.

Selected Quarterly Results of Operations

      The following table sets forth certain unaudited statements of operations
data for the five quarters ended April 30, 1998, as well as such data expressed
as a percentage of the Company's total net sales for the periods indicated. This
data has been derived from unaudited financial statements that, in the opinion
of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of such information when read in
conjunction with the Company's annual audited financial statements and notes
thereto.

      The Company is subject to seasonal fluctuations in its merchandise sales
and results of operations. The Company expects its net sales and results of
operations generally to be lower in the second quarter and higher in the fourth
quarter (which includes the holiday season) of each fiscal year. The Company's
quarterly results may fluctuate as a result of numerous factors, including the
timing, quantity and cost of catalog mailings, responses to those mailings, the
timing of sale circulars and liquidations, the timing of merchandise deliveries,
market acceptance of the Company's merchandise (including new merchandise
categories or products introduced), the mix of products sold, the hiring and
training of additional personnel, the timing of inventory writedowns, the
integration of acquisitions, the incurrence of other operating costs and factors
beyond the Company's control, such as general economic conditions and actions of
competitors. Accordingly, the results of operations in any quarter will not
necessarily be indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal
year or any future quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Since its inception, the Company has met its operating and cash
requirements through funds generated from operations, the private sales of
equity securities and its initial public offering. Cash used in operations in
the first three months of fiscal 1998 and 1997 was $6.3 million and $910,000,
respectively. The increase in cash used in operations was due in part to earlier
payment of certain liabilities, including accounts payable due to inventory
vendors and other vendors. In addition, the Company paid certain liabilities of
its TSI Soccer business earlier in fiscal 1998 than it did in fiscal 1997 in
order to take advantage of discounts.

      Cash provided by investing in the first three months of fiscal 1998 and
cash used in investing in the first three months of fiscal 1997 was $2.5 million
and $6.2 million, respectively, including the sale of short-term,
investment-grade investments in fiscal 1998 and the purchase of short-term,
investment-grade investments in fiscal 1997. The Company expects to make capital
expenditures of approximately $3.0 million to upgrade its management information
systems in fiscal 1998. The Company also anticipates capital expenditures of at
least $4.0 million in fiscal 1998 for property, plant and equipment, including
leasehold improvements, office equipment and expenditures relating to the
conversion of Jean Country stores to Screeem! stores following the

                                       11
<PAGE>

consummation of the Screeem! Acquisition and the Company's warehouse and
distribution operations. See "--Results of Operations."

      Cash flows from financing activities in the first three months of fiscal
1998 and 1997 were $41,000 and $755,000, respectively.

      Cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $3.7 million to $0.8
million at April 30, 1998 from $4.5 million at January 31, 1998, as the Company
decreased its accounts payable and increased capital expenditures and catalog
costs relative to sales increased during the first three months of fiscal 1998.

      The Company has a revolving line of credit for seasonal working capital,
collateralized by all of the Company's assets other than inventory. The maximum
amount available under the line of credit is $5.0 million. The interest rate on
the line of credit is the lending bank's prime rate plus two percent (10.25% at
April 30, 1998). The line expires on July 31, 1998. The Company has not drawn on
this line.

      The Company believes that its cash on hand, together with cash generated
by operations, will be sufficient to meet its capital and operating requirements
through at least fiscal 1998. The Company's future capital requirements,
however, depend on numerous factors, including, without limitation, the success
of its marketing, sales and distribution efforts. There can be no assurance that
additional funds, if required, will be available to the Company on favorable
terms or at all.

Inflation

      The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material adverse
effect on net sales or results of operation. The Company has generally been able
to pass on increased costs related to inflation through increases in its prices
to customers.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income. The Company has determined that the adoption of this new standard would
not have had a material effect on the Company's disclosure for all periods
presented.

      In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for periods beginning
after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131 requires that public companies report
certain information about operating segments in their annual financial
statements and in condensed financial statements of interim periods issued to
shareholders. This statement also requires that public companies report certain
information about their products and services, the geographic areas in which
they operate and their major customers. The Company is currently reviewing the
impact of this statement on its current level of disclosure.

      In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 132 revises employers'
disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not
change the measurement or recognition of those plans. This statement
standardizes the disclosure requirements for pension and other postretirement
benefits to the extent practicable, requires additional information on changes
in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate
financial analysis, and eliminates certain disclosures. The Company has
determined that the adoption of this new standard will not have a material
effect on the Company's disclosure for all periods presented.
