weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the
twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June 28, 1997 and June 29,
1996.
The approximate number of shares used in the computations of

to extend the maturity of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility until
January 31, 2000. Pursuant to the Amended Revolving Credit Facility,
$12,000,000 is available until expiration at January 31, 2000. The
amounts outstanding thereunder bear interest at a maximum per annum
rate up to .50% 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 Amended 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 June 28, 1997
was $1,150,000, and there was no outstanding balance on the line of
credit at December 28, 1996. The related party debt is subordinated to

7. INCOME TAXES
------------
The effective tax rates for Fiscal 1997 and 1996 are 41.0% and 37.5%,
respectively. The Company had available at December 28, 1996 approximately
$281,000 of alternative minimum tax carryforwards for tax reporting purposes,
and an investment tax credit carryforward of approximately $117,000. At June
28, 1997 and December 28, 1996, the Company's deferred tax assets were
$1,771,000 and $1,679,000, respectively, also, there was no deferred tax

---------- ------------
$1,771,000 $1,679,000
========== ============
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 twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1997, the Company increased bank
borrowings ($1,150,000), and reduced cash ($1,533,000) to partially offset
the cost of inventory purchases ($581,000), and the Company's new store
expansion and remodeling program ($1,667,000). Cash used by operations
decreased to $1,006,000 in 1997 from $2,117,000 in 1996, primarily due to
reduced inventory purchases. Inventories increased $581,000, principally due
to increased average store inventory levels at June 28, 1997, as compared to
fiscal year-end post-holiday inventory levels, as well as due to the addition
of four new stores in 1997. Accounts payable decreased $2,925,000 and
accrued expenses decreased $498,000 during the period, as the Company paid
for merchandise and expenses accrued at the end of Fiscal 1996.
9
<PAGE>
The Company plans to open a total of approximately nine new stores
during 1997. The Company opened three stores in March and one store in April
1997. The remaining stores are expected to be opened during late summer and
fall of 1997. After deducting construction allowances paid to the Company by
its landlords, the Company has spent $1,667,000 through June 28, 1997 and
expects to spend an additional $2,000,000 in 1997 for both new store and
existing store construction and remodeling. Approximately $500,000 of the
amount above is slated to be spent for floorset fixtures and signage, to
highlight a new sportswear separates area in the stores. The Company
anticipates that it will finance new store construction and remodeling in
1997 primarily by cash flow from operations and its existing credit
facilities. The Company closed three stores in January 1996, the store
closures had no material effect on net income for the twenty-six week period
in 1996. 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 experienced a decrease in net income, for the twenty-six
week period ended June 28, 1997, which was primarily caused by flat
comparative store sales. During the thirteen week period ended June 28,
1997, the additional sales generated by new stores opened in 1996 and 1997,
caused an increase in sales and pre-tax income, as compared to Fiscal 1996.
Certain financial data concerning the Company's results of operations
for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June 28, 1997 and June 29,
1996, expressed as a percentage of net sales, are as follows:

Sales
- -----
Net sales increased $3,388,000 or 5.6% and $1,389,000 or 4.2%,
respectively, during the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June 28,
1997, versus the comparable periods in 1996. The increases were primarily due
to the greater number of stores open during the 1997 periods. Comparable store
sales were relatively flat for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods in 1997,
as compared to the comparable periods in 1996.
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 twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June
28, 1997 and June 29, 1996 were as follows:

Costs and expenses
- ------------------
Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased $1,900,000
or 4.7% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1997, versus the similar period
in 1996. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales and the
related cost of merchandise for those sales, as well as a $563,000 increase in
occupancy expenses, primarily due to the additional stores in operation during
the 1997 versus 1996. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales, including the
occupancy expenses, decreased 0.5%, (65.1% versus 65.6%) for the twenty-six
week period ended June 28, 1997, versus the comparable period in 1996. The
decrease was primarily due to lower markdowns in 1997, as a percent of sales.
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.
11
<PAGE>
Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased $394,000 or
1.8% for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 1997, versus the similar 1996
period. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales and the
related cost of the merchandise for those sales, and a $243,000 increase in
occupancy, due to the additional stores in operation during 1997 versus 1996.
As a percentage of sales, cost of sales, including occupancy and buying
expenses, decreased 1.5% (64.2% versus 65.7%) for the thirteen weeks ended
June 28, 1997, versus the comparable period in 1997. The decrease was
primarily due to lower markdowns, as a percent of sales, versus the comparable
period in 1996.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
- --------------------------------------------
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A") increased $1,823,000
or 9.4% during the twenty-six week period ended June 28, 1997 versus the
comparable period in 1996. The increase was primarily due to greater payroll
and payroll taxes ($1,152,000), credit card fees ($77,000), freight charges
($80,000), depreciation ($161,000) and licenses and taxes ($126,000). As a
percentage of sales, these expenses increased 1.2% (32.9% versus 31.7%) for the
twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1997 versus the similar 1996 period. The
increase was due primarily to the effect of flat comparable store sales,
experienced in the current twenty-six week period, upon S,G&A expenses, which
are relatively fixed in nature.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $981,000 or 10.0%
during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 1997, versus the comparable period in
1996. The increase was due to greater payroll and payroll taxes ($603,000),
licenses and taxes($60,000)and depreciation($118,000). As a percentage of
sales, these expenses increased 1.7% (31.7% versus 30.0%) for the thirteen weeks
ended June 28, 1997 versus the similar 1996 period. The increase was due
primarily to the effect of flat comparable store sales, experienced in the
current thirteen week period, upon S,G&A expenses, which are relatively fixed
in nature.
Interest expense
- ----------------
Interest expense decreased $65,000 (34.8%) and $38,000 (42.2%),
respectively, for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June 28, 1997
versus the comparable period in 1996, primarily due to lower average borrowing
levels in 1997.
Income taxes
- ------------
The Company's effective tax rate is approximately 41% and 37.5%, for Fiscal
1997 and 1996, respectively. The higher rate in Fiscal 1997 reflects higher
state and local income taxes, as well as a reduction in temporary differences
which previously were more significant.
