NOTE 1  -   BASIS OF PRESENTATION


            The financial information included herein is unaudited. In addition,
            the financial  information does not include all disclosures required
            under generally accepted accounting  principles because certain note
            information  included  in  the  company's  annual  report  has  been
            omitted:   however,   such  information   reflects  all  adjustments
            (consisting  solely of normal recurring  adjustments)  which are, in
            the opinion of  management,  necessary  to a fair  statement  of the
            result for the interim periods.

            The results of  operations  for the  thirteen  weeks ended April 30,
            1995 and the  thirteen  weeks ended May 1, 1994 are not  necessarily
            indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

            Effective  February  1,  1993,  the  Company  adopted  statement  of
            Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting For Income Taxes.

thirteen  week period  ended April 30, 1995,  as compared to the thirteen  weeks
ended may 1, 1994. Same store sales  decreased  approximately $ 780,000 or 4.9%.

comparative thirteen week basis.

compared to 32.2% for the same period a year ago. One factor contributing to the

or 2.4%. The decrease was due to effective  payroll  controls at locations which
had sales  decreases.  The relationship of these expenses to net sales was 37.3%
for this period compared to 37.2% for the same period a year ago.
