                             CACHE, INC.
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     ---------------------

     In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments necessary, which are
considered normal and recurring to present fairly the financial
position of the Company at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
and the results of operations for the thirty-nine and thirteen week
periods ended September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994 and consolidated
statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks then ended.

     Certain financial information which is normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, but which is not required for interim reporting
purposes, has been condensed or omitted.  The accompanying consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.


2.   NET INCOME OR LOSS PER SHARE
     -----------------------------

     Net income or loss per share has been computed based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the
thirty-nine and thirteen weeks ended September 30, 1995 and October 1,
1994. 

     The approximate number of shares used in the computations of
income per common share were 9,091,000 and 8,802,000, for the thirty-
nine week and thirteen week periods ended September 30, 1995 and
October 1, 1994, respectively.

5.   BANK DEBT
     ----------

     The Company's current Revolving Credit Facility may be used for
either working capital or for letters of credit and will expire on
January 31, 1997.  Pursuant to the amended Revolving Credit Facility,
$8,500,000 is available from August 10, 1995 until expiration at
January 31, 1997.  The amounts outstanding thereunder bear interest at
a maximum per annum rate up to 1.00% above the bank's prime rate.  The
agreement contains selected financial and other covenants including
covenants to maintain a minimum current ratio, a maximum debt to equity
and total equity ratio, a maximum capital expenditure covenant, a
minimum earnings to bank interest coverage ratio and certain
restrictions on the repayment of principal amounts due to related
parties.  The agreement prohibits the payment of any dividends on the
Company's common stock.  Effective upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company grants to the
bank a security interest in the Company's inventory and certain
receivables.  
     The outstanding balances on the line of credit at September 30,
1995 and December 31, 1994 were $4,100,000 and $1,650,000,
respectively.  The related party debt is subordinated to the bank debt
and therefore will not be paid prior to expiration of the bank line of
credit.


6.   INDEBTEDNESS TO RELATED PARTY
     -----------------------------

     As of September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 the Company had
outstanding, (i) a $250,000 long-term loan from a major stockholder
bearing interest payable quarterly with principal due upon demand at
any time after January 31, 1997; and (ii) a $1,750,000 loan made by the
same stockholder bearing interest payable quarterly with principal due
upon demand at any time after January 31, 1997.  Interest on both notes
accrue at 7% per year through January 31, 1997.

     In December 1994, the Company loaned a total of $913,000 to
several executive officers of the Company.  The loans, which are
payable upon demand, are evidenced by secured promissory notes, which
bear interest at the rate of 9% per annum.  In September 1995, two
executive officers repaid a total of $663,000 to the Company, $250,000
remains outstanding at September 30, 1995.


7.   INCOME TAXES
     -------------

     Effective January 3, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
(SFAS 109).  In accordance with this statement, the Company recognized
deferred tax assets of $5,333,000, less a valuation allowance of
$4,216,000, thereby creating a net deferred tax asset of $1,117,000,
which reflected the cumulative effect of the accounting change for the
benefit expected to be realized from the utilization of net operating
loss carryforwards ("NOL'S") and deductible temporary differences.  




                                  8

<PAGE>

     At December 31, 1994 and September 30, 1995, the Company had net
operating loss carryforwards of $4,275,000 and $3,037,000, respectively, for
federal income tax reporting purposes.  The net operating loss carryforwards
expire at various dates through 2007.  The tax benefit created by stock
option exercises is reflected in additional paid-in capital as realized.  In
December 1994, April 1995 and July 1995, the Company realized for financial
reporting purposes $512,000, $318,000 and $400,000, respectively, of income
tax benefits from stock option exercises.  The Company had available at
December 31, 1994 approximately $207,000 of alternative minimum tax
carryforwards for tax reporting purposes only.  At December 31, 1994 and
September 30, 1995, the Company's deferred tax assets were $3,503,000 and
$2,790,000, respectively, also, there was no deferred tax liability.  The
major components of the Company's net deferred taxes at September 30, 1995
and December 31, 1994 are as follows:

                                                  September 30, December 31,

                                                  ===========   =========== 

Statement No. 109 requires that the net operating loss carryforwards and
other deductible temporary differences be recorded as an asset to the extent
that management assesses the utilization of such carryforwards and the
realization of the deductible temporary differences to be more likely than
not.  The Company recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax
asset based on the Company's history of prior operating earnings and its
expectations for the future, whether the operating income of the Company will
more likely than not be sufficient to fully utilize the carryforwards and the
realization of the benefit related to the deductible temporary differences
prior to their ultimate expiration before 2007.  During the fourth quarter of
Fiscal 1993 and during 1994 and 1995, the Company reversed portions of the
valuation allowance on the strength of the Company's operating results which
increased the probability the net operating loss carryforwards will be
realized.
                                                                            

8.    CONTINGENCIES
      --------------

     The Company is exposed to a number of asserted and unasserted potential
claims.  In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters is not
presently expected to have a material adverse  effect upon the Company's
financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 
- --------------------------------

     The Company's primary need for capital is to finance new store
merchandise inventories, as well as the construction of new stores.  During
the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 1995, the Company generated
$2,080,000 in cash from operating activities.  The Company utilized a portion
of its existing bank credit facilities by increased bank borrowings
($2,450,000) to finance inventory purchases ($1,674,000), and the Company's
new store expansion and remodeling program.          

     The Company plans to open a total of approximately twenty-four new
stores during 1995.  Twenty-two new stores have already opened and the
remaining two stores are expected to be opened during November 1995.  After
deducting construction allowances paid to the Company by its landlords, the
Company has spent $4,647,000 through September 30, 1995 and expects to spend
an additional $1,000,000 in 1995 for both new store and existing store
construction and remodeling.  The Company anticipates that it will finance
new store construction and remodeling in 1995 primarily by cash flow from
operations and its existing credit facilities.

     Bank debt rose by $2,450,000, as the Company paid for inventory, new
fixed assets and liabilities accrued at year-end.  Inventories increased
$1,674,000, principally due to the addition of twenty-two new stores in 1995. 
Property and equipment increased $4,647,000, primarily due to the above
mentioned new store expansion and store remodeling.  Notes receivable
decreased $663,000 due to the repayment of loans made to several executive
officers in December 1994 (See footnote 6).  The Company believes that given
the sources of credit discussed above, its financial resources will be
sufficient to meet anticipated requirements.




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ----------------------

     The Company's results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine
week periods ended September 30, 1995 declined as compared to the same period
in 1994.  The increase in sales and related increases in gross profits did
not offset the increase in operating expenses for the thirteen and thirty-
nine week periods, as compared to 1994.

Sales
- -----

     Net sales increased $10,745,000 or 14.7% and $1,725,000 or 6.8%
respectively, during the thirty-nine and thirteen week periods ended
September 30, 1995 versus the comparable periods in 1994.  The increases were
primarily due to the greater number of stores open during the 1995 periods. 
Same store sales (sales for stores open at least one year or more) decreased
6% as compared to the comparable thirteen week period in 1994 and was flat as
compared to the comparable thirty-nine week period in 1994.  

     Historically, sales at new stores do not achieve the same levels as
existing, established stores.  New stores generally begin to perform as well
as existing stores during their second and third year of operation.  Sales on
a weighted average basis for the thirty-nine and thirteen week periods ended
September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994 were as follows:

Costs and expenses
- -------------------

     Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased
$8,172,000 or 17.1% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 1995
versus the similar period in 1994.  The increase was primarily due to
the increase in sales and the related cost of merchandise for those
sales, as well as a $2,087,000 increase in occupancy expenses primarily
due to the additional stores in operation during 1995 versus 1994.  As
a percentage of sales, cost of sales, including occupancy expenses,
increased 1.4%, (66.8% versus 65.4%) for the thirty-nine week period
ended September 30, 1995 versus the comparable period in 1994.  The
increase was primarily due to higher occupancy costs, both in dollars
and as a percent of sales, versus the comparable period in 1994. 
Markdowns, as a percentage of sales, decreased slightly in 1995 as
compared to the 1994 period.  The Company takes markdowns for several
reasons such as; changes in customer preference, seasonal adaptation,
changes in style or if it is determined merchandise in stock will not
sell at its currently marked price.  

     Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased
$1,639,000 or 9.6% for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 1995
versus the similar 1994 period.  The increase was primarily due to the
increase in sales and the related cost of the merchandise for those
sales, and a $644,000 increase in occupancy expenses due to the
additional stores in operation during 1995 versus 1994.  As a
percentage of sales, cost of sales, including occupancy and buying
expenses, increased 1.8% (68.8% versus 67.0%) for the thirteen weeks
ended September 30, 1995 versus the comparable period in 1994.  The
increase was primarily due to higher occupancy costs, both in dollars
and as a percent of sales, versus the comparable period in 1994 and was
partially offset by a reduction in markdowns for the thirteen weeks
ended September 30, 1995, which decreased slightly as compared to the
1994 period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
- --------------------------------------------

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4,483,000
or 20.4% during the thirty-nine week period ended September 30, 1995,
versus the comparable period in 1994.  The increase was primarily due
to greater payroll and payroll taxes ($3,110,000), credit card fees
($165,000), travel($117,000), depreciation ($435,000) and licenses and
taxes ($182,000).  As a percentage of sales these expenses increased
1.5% (31.5% versus 30.0%) for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30,
1995 versus the similar 1994 period.  The increase, as a percent of
sales, was due primarily to flat comparable store sales experienced in
the current thirty-nine week period.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,467,000
or 19.3% during the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 1995 versus the
comparable period in 1994.  The increase was due to greater payroll and
payroll taxes ($1,038,000), credit card fees ($33,000), travel
($29,000) and depreciation ($150,000). As a percentage of sales these
expenses increased 3.4% (33.4% versus 30.0%) for the thirteen weeks
ended September 30, 1995 versus the similar 1994 period.  The increase,
as a percent of sales, was due primarily to the decrease in comparable
store sales experienced in the current thirteen week period.  In
addition, the Company recorded a $100,000 one time charge related to
the resignation of two officers.  

                                 12

<PAGE>

Interest Expense
- -----------------

     Interest expense increased $218,000 (113.5%) and $83,000 (113.7%),
respectively, for the thirty-nine and thirteen week periods ended
September 30, 1995 versus the comparable period in 1994, primarily due
to higher average borrowing levels in 1995, caused by the retirement of
preferred stock ($2,695,000) in December 1994.  Increased interest
expense was also due to higher average borrowing rates in 1995, as
compared to 1994.

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

     Income tax expense increased to $362,000 for the thirty-nine week
period ended September 30, 1995, due to the realization of all prior
net operating loss carryforwards in 1994.  An income tax benefit of
$285,000 was recorded for the thirteen week period ended September 30,
1995, as compared to an income tax provision of $33,000 in 1994, which
was primarily due to state tax accruals and federal alternative minimum
tax provisions.  In 1995, the Company's effective tax rate is
approximately 37.0%.  In 1994, the Company was still able to realize
net operating loss carryforwards and as a result reversed $1,150,000
and $250,000 of valuation allowances for the thirty-nine and thirteen
week periods.  This resulted in the Company having no income tax
expenses in 1994.  The only major remaining deferred tax assets in 1995
are attributable to stock options and are realized in paid-in capital. 
As a result, $718,000 and $ 0 were realized during the thirty-nine and
thirteen week periods in 1995.
