                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Advisory Committee of the
Fabri-Centers of America, Inc. Employees'
Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Fabri-Centers of America, Inc. Employees' Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan
(the Plan) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31,
1995, as listed in the accompanying index. These financial statements and
schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held for
investment purposes (Schedule I) and reportable transactions (Schedule II), as
listed in the accompanying index, are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                   EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS AND PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
                   ------------------------------------------


                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          -----------------------------

                           DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
                           --------------------------


1. SUMMARY OF PLAN:
   ----------------

         The original Fabri-Centers of America, Inc. Employees' Profit-Sharing
         Plan was adopted as of September 1, 1974, and has been amended on
         occasion in order to, among other things, maintain compliance with the
         requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
         (ERISA). Effective January 1, 1983, the plan was amended, restated and
         renamed the Fabri-Centers of America, Inc. Employees' Savings and
         Profit-Sharing Plan (the Plan), which included a payroll-based employee
         stock ownership feature (PAYSOP). Effective April 1, 1992, the Plan was
         again amended and restated. Effective August 2, 1995, the Plan was
         amended to reflect the recapitalization of the Fabri-Centers of
         America, Inc. common stock whereby each existing common share was
         exchanged for one Class A share and one Class B share. The principal
         provisions of the Plan are as  follows:

Eligibility
- -----------

         All active employees of Fabri-Centers of America, Inc. (the Company)
         and wholly owned subsidiaries that have adopted the Plan, and who have
         been continuously employed as employees of the Company for a period of
         one year, have attained the age of 21, have completed at least 1,000
         hours of service and are not a member of a recognized collective
         bargaining organization, are eligible to participate in the Plan.

Deferred Income Contributions
- -----------------------------

         Pursuant to a Compensation Deferral Agreement permitted under Section
         401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, plan participants may elect to
         defer from 1% to 10% of their compensation, subject to an annual
         limitation under the Internal Revenue Code, and such amount will be
         contributed to the Plan by the Company as a deferred income
         contribution.

Employer Matching Contributions
- -------------------------------

         The Company will contribute to the Plan, subject to the forfeiture
         provision outlined in the following paragraph, an adjustable percentage
         of the deferred income contributions made by participants, (up to a 4%
         employee deferred compensation contribution), as well as such
         additional amounts as the Board of Directors may determine. These
         contributions are allocated among participants in proportion to the
         deferred income contributions made on their behalf for such period and
         credited to their separate accounts.

         The Company's matching contribution can range from 0% to 100%, and can
         be modified prior to the beginning of a month by a duly authorized
         officer of the Company. For the 1995 and 1994 plan years, the Company's
         matching contribution was 50% (of the first 4% contributed by the
         participant). Effective January 1, 1991, all Company matching
         contributions are in the form of Fabri-Centers of America, Inc. common
         stock, and are invested in the Company Stock Fund.


                                    page 12

<PAGE>   13



         Company contributions are funded only to the extent that they exceed
         cumulative forfeitures of participants terminated from the Plan.

Investment of Employee Contributions
- ------------------------------------

         Under the Plan, each participant selects the manner in which deferred
         income contributions to their account are to be invested. Contributions
         are invested in 20% increments, up to 100% in any one of the following
         investment options:

         a.       S & P Stock Fund -- Investments are made in a portfolio of
                  stocks comparable to the Standard & Poor's 500 largest
                  companies with a rate of return that may fluctuate
                  substantially and providing for no guarantee against loss;

         b.       Equity Growth Fund -- Investments are made in smaller, more
                  rapidly growing companies and providing for no guarantee
                  against loss;

         c.       Insurance Contract Fund -- Investments are made in investment
                  contracts issued by insurance companies and banks providing
                  for stability of principal and attractive rates of interest;

         d.       Government Bond Fund -- Investments are made in bonds issued
                  or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or
                  instrumentalities dependent upon the prevailing interest rates
                  and providing for a lower risk of loss;

         e.       Company Stock Fund A - Investments are made in Fabri-Centers
                  of America, Inc. Class A common stock and providing for no
                  guarantee against loss; or

         f.       Company Stock Fund B - Investments are made in Fabri-Centers
                  of America, Inc. Class B common stock and providing for no
                  guarantee against loss.

A participant may change his investment election with respect to future
contributions and, separately, past contributions as of January 1, April 1, July
1, or October 1 of each year.

In August of 1995, each share of Fabri-Centers of America, Inc. common stock was
exchanged for one Class A share and one Class B share. As a result, the Plan was
amended to add two new funds. These funds are the Company Stock Fund B and the
Stock Ownership (PAYSOP) Fund B. The existing Company Stock and PAYSOP Funds
were renamed as the Company Stock Fund A and Stock Ownership Fund A. As the
above exchange was for an even number of Class A and Class B shares, the value
of the original funds was split evenly and transferred to the two new funds at
the time of their creation. These transfers have been reflected as transfer due
to Company stock split in the accompanying statement of changes in net assets.

PAYSOP Contributions
- --------------------

Prior to February 1, 1987, the Company made PAYSOP contributions to the Stock
Ownership Fund for each year in an amount equal to the tax credit available
under Section 44G of the Internal Revenue Code. This tax credit was eliminated
by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and, therefore, the Company no longer makes PAYSOP
contributions. Distributions of the PAYSOP account balances to terminated
participants are made in shares of Company common stock unless otherwise
specified by the participant.

<PAGE>   14



Vesting Requirements
- --------------------

Contributions allocated to the accounts of participants in accordance with
PAYSOP provisions and deferred income contributions made on behalf of
participants in accordance with compensation deferral agreements are fully
vested and nonforfeitable at all times. Company matching contributions generally
vest ratably over a four-year period, based on length of employment. A
participant's entire interest under the Plan becomes fully vested upon his death
while employed, attainment of age 65, or permanent and total disability.

Trustee's Fees and Other Expenses
- ---------------------------------

Costs incident to the purchase and sale of securities, such as brokerage
commissions and stock transfer taxes, are paid by the respective funds, unless
otherwise paid by the Company. All other costs and expenses incurred in
administering the Plan, including fees of the trustee, are paid by the Plan,
unless otherwise paid by the Company. During 1995 and 1994, all trustee fees and
other administrative expenses were paid by the Plan.

Termination
- -----------

The Board of Directors, without further approval of shareholders, may terminate
the Plan at any time. If the Plan is terminated, the Company contributions
credited to each affected participant shall fully vest immediately.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
   --------------------------------

Basis of Accounting
- -------------------

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting. As such, management must make certain estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of net assets available for plan benefits and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments
- ------------------------

All investments except the Confederated Life Guaranteed Insurance Contracts
(GIC) are stated at market value based on published market data. A summary of
the Plan's investments as of December 31, 1995 is presented on supporting
Schedule I of this report.

GIC's are stated at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made
under the contract, plus interest at the contract rate, less administration
costs and funds distributed as prescribed by the contract.

Income Taxes
- ------------

In August of 1994, the Plan received a favorable determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service indicating that the Plan is exempt from income taxes
under current regulations. The plan administrator believes that the Plan
continues to comply with all federal and ERISA regulations to qualify as tax
exempt. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the
accompanying financial statements.

<PAGE>   15



3. INFORMATION CERTIFIED BY TRUSTEE:
   ---------------------------------

The trustee, KeyCorp Investment Management and Trust Services, maintains records
of investment transactions and participant accounts and determines the valuation
of the investment portfolio of each fund. Information with respect to (1)
investments held and their market values as presented in (a) the statements of
net assets available for benefits, and (b) Schedule I, (2) investment income,
net realized gain on the sale of investments and net unrealized gain on
investments for the year ended December 31, 1995, and (3) Schedule II has been
reported by the trustee as being complete and accurate.

4. REPORTABLE TRANSACTIONS:
   ------------------------

Schedule II summarizes the Plan's reportable transactions for the year ended
December 31, 1995. A reportable transaction is any transaction or series of
transactions, as defined, involving amounts in excess of 5% of the current value
of the Plan's assets as of the beginning of the Plan year.

5. PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS:
   -------------------------------

There have been no prohibited transactions with a party in interest, as defined
by ERISA.

6. RECONCILIATION TO FORM 5500:
   ----------------------------

The statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits reconciles as
follows to Form 5500:


     1995 Form 5500:
     -----------------------------------------  

     Net assets at end of year                                      $18,514,244
                                                                 
     1995 Statement of Changes in Net Assets
     Available for Benefits:
     -----------------------------------------

     Net assets at beginning of year                  $13,280,301
     Increases                                          7,200,280
     Decreases                                         (1,820,693)
                                                      -----------

         Subtotal                                                    18,659,888
                                                                    -----------

Difference                                                          $   145,644
                                                                    ===========

The difference in net assets is related to the treatment of benefits payable.
For purposes of the financial statements, benefits payable to plan participants
are treated as a component of net assets available for benefits, with the
related amounts disclosed in the financial statements, whereas the Form 5500
treats benefits payable as a reduction in net assets available for benefits.

7. CONFEDERATION LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS:
   ---------------------------------------

On August 12, 1994, the Canadian Superintendent of Financial Institutions took
control of the Confederation Life Insurance Company (Confederation Life) with
the intent of liquidating Confederation Life's assets. As shown on the
accompanying schedule of assets held for investment purposes (Schedule I), at
December 31, 1995, the Plan held two GIC's issued by Confederation Life with a
total cost of $700,000. It is still uncertain what impact, if any, the above
actions will have on the value of the remaining GIC's, and, therefore, no
provision for potential loss has been reflected in the accompanying financial
statements.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
   -----------------
  
In April, 1996 the S&P 500 Stock Fund, the Equity Growth Fund, the Insurance
Contract Fund and the Government Bond Fund were replaced with the EB MaGIC Fund,
the Victory Intermediate Income Fund, the Victory Stock Index Fund and the
Fidelity Magellan Fund, respectively. All balances in the existing funds were
transferred into the new funds. These new funds essentially offer the
participants fund investment election choices at the same risk levels as those
previously available.

Effective July 1, 1996 the Committee amended the Plan to allow participants to
make investment election changes on a monthly basis in addition to allowing for
participant loans against their existing accounts subject to certain
limitations.
