contained in the audited financial statements as of and for the
year ended February 25, 1995.

2.   Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's business,
operating results for the first thirteen weeks are not considered
to be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year.  Historically, the Company realizes a major portion of its
annual revenues and most of its earnings in the fourth quarter of
its fiscal year.

3.   Common share equivalents were not included in the computation
of earnings per share for the thirteen weeks ended May 27, 1995 and
May 28, 1994, because the periods resulted in net losses and the
effect would be antidilutive.

4.   On May 31, 1995, the Company finalized an agreement with a new
lender to refinance the existing senior secured debt and provide
for the Company's working capital needs.  The agreement provides
for a three year $23,500,000 credit facility which includes two
term loans totalling $2,000,000.  The agreement provides for
interest at 1.5% and 2% over the base (prime) rate for the
revolving facility and the term loans, respectively.  The agreement
includes provisions which require the maintenance of certain
financial covenants (the most restrictive of which is a minimum
debt service coverage ratio), prohibit the payment of cash
dividends and require a commitment fee of one-third of one percent






per annum on the unused portion of the revolving loan.  Also, all
assets, rights, interest and properties of the Company are pledged
as collateral for the revolving and term loan obligations.

5.   Approximately $140,000 of employee termination benefits were
charged against the restructuring liability during the first
quarter of fiscal 1996.  As of May 27, 1995, approximately 75
employees had been terminated as part of the restructuring.  In

addition, approximately $402,000 of costs associated with store
closings were charged against the restructuring liability during
the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

6.   Consistent with the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year,
the credit for income taxes for the current quarter of $734,000 was
offset by an increase in the Company's valuation allowance with
respect to the future tax benefits of the net operating loss as a
result of the uncertainty of their ultimate realization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at May 27, 1995 were $273,000 as compared
to $1,134,000 at February 25, 1995.  The decrease was due to cash
used in operating activities of $714,000 and cash used in investing
activities of $147,000.

The cash used in operating activities was due primarily to the net
loss of $1,747,000 and a decrease in accounts payable of
$4,307,000, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable
of $2,150,000 and a decrease in merchandise inventories of
$2,320,000.

The cash used in investing activities was due primarily to
additions to property and equipment of $157,000, partially offset
by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $10,000.

Working capital at May 27, 1995 was $16,297,000 as compared to
$17,549,000 at February 25, 1995.

On May 31, 1995, the Company finalized an agreement with a new
lender to refinance the existing senior secured debt and provide
for the Company's working capital needs.  The agreement provides
for a three year $23,500,000 credit facility which includes two
term loans totalling $2,000,000.  The agreement provides for
interest at 1.5% and 2% over the base (prime) rate for the






revolving facility and the term loans, respectively.  The agreement
includes provisions which require the maintenance of certain
financial covenants (the most restrictive of which is a minimum
debt service coverage ratio), prohibit the payment of cash
dividends and require a commitment fee of one-third of one percent
per annum on the unused portion of the revolving loan.  Also, all
assets, rights, interest and properties of the Company are pledged
as collateral for the revolving and term loan obligations.

Results of Operations

Total revenues for the first quarter ended May 27, 1995 increased
$859,000 (5.2%) as compared to the same period last year.  Fur
merchandise sales increased $847,000 (19.4%) due primarily to
$1,233,000 in sales associated with leased locations acquired
during the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year, and an increase
of $260,000 in sales associated with store closing events at
Company-owned locations closed during the first quarter of the
current fiscal year.  These increases were partially offset by a
decrease of $646,000 (15.7%) in sales at comparable locations. 
Women's ready-to-wear sales decreased $228,000 (3.1%) due primarily
to a decrease of $111,000 in sales associated with the closing of
the Company's Southlake location in Merrilville, Indiana, during
the first quarter, and a decrease of 117,000 (1.7%) at comparable
locations.  Service revenues increased $240,000 (5.1%) due

          Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations, continued

primarily to $1,237,000 in sales associated with leased locations
acquired during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, partially offset
by a decrease of $518,000 (12.4%) in sales at comparable locations
and a decrease of $480,000 in sales associated with three
Company-owned locations closed during the first quarter of the
current fiscal year.

Cost of goods and services sold, buying and occupancy costs as a
percentage of total revenues for the first quarter were 69.3% as
compared to 67.4% for the same period last year.  Cost of goods and
services sold as a percentage of total revenues increased (54.4%
versus 52.5%) due primarily to lower gross margins on fur
merchandise sales resulting from higher markdowns and lower initial
markup.  Buying costs as a percentage of total revenues decreased
(2.7% versus 3.5%) due primarily to the closing of the Company's
fur inspection office in New York during the first quarter. 
Occupancy costs as a percentage of total revenues were comparable
with prior year levels.

Total selling and general expenses as a percentage of total
revenues decreased to 38.3% as compared to 40.3% for the same
period last year.  Payroll and related fringe benefits as a
percentage of total revenues decreased (24.8% versus 25.7%) due
primarily to the reduction of staff in various corporate
departments as well as management wage reductions which were part






of the Company's planned restructuring.  Advertising expenses as a
percentage of total revenues decreased (6.7% versus 7.1%) due
largely to management's efforts to control costs through efficient
and selective marketing strategies.

Interest expense increased $63,000 (29.0%) due primarily to higher
average long-term borrowings associated with the acquisition of the
assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of Gilson,
Incorporated during the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year and
short-term borrowings which were outstanding during the first
quarter of the current fiscal year.

Other income decreased $30,000 due primarily to a decline in
interest income associated with temporary cash investments.

The pre-tax loss for the first quarter of $1,747,000 as compared to
$1,624,000 for the same period last year was due largely to the
increase in interest expense and the decrease in other income. 
Consistent with the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year, the
credit for income taxes for the current quarter of $734,000 was
offset by an increase in the Company's valuation allowance with
respect to the future tax benefits of the net operating loss as a
result of the uncertainty of their ultimate realization.  The net
loss for the first quarter of the prior year of $942,000 was the

finalized an agreement with its principal lenders for amendments to






its existing revolving credit facility and its senior secured
long-term note payable obligations.  The amendments established,

credit facility, direct borrowings of $1,400,000 through May 31,
1995 and an agreement by the lenders not to exercise any remedies
under the loan agreements with respect to certain potential and
unmatured events of default through May 31, 1995.
