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

       During August 1996, the Company reached an agreement with its
bank 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 Revolving Credit Facility, the Company grants to the bank a
security interest in the Company's inventory and certain receivables. 

     There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit at June 
27, 1998, and December 27, 1997.  The related party debt is
subordinated to the bank debt and repayment is subject to terms of the
Amended Revolving Credit Facility.  The Company is currently in
compliance with all covenant requirements.

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


STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
- ----------------------------------------------

     Except for the historical information and current statements contained
in this Form 10-Q, certain matters discussed herein, including, without
limitation, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" are forward looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, including, without limitation, the effect of economic and
market conditions and competition, the ability to open new stores and expand
into new markets, and risks relating to foreign importing operations, which
would cause actual results to differ materially.


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 27, 1998, the Company used cash ($1,635,000)
and cash flow from non-cash depreciation expenses ($2,012,000) to repay
accounts payable ($2,452,000), and to fund the Company's store expansion and
remodeling program ($1,130,000).  The Company has reduced bank borrowings
during Fiscal 1998, as a result of improved earnings and reduced store
openings. 
                       
     The Company plans to open approximately five to seven new stores during
1998.  The Company opened two new stores in March 1998.  The remaining stores
are expected to be opened during the second half of 1998.  After deducting
construction allowances paid to the Company by its landlords, the Company has
spent $1,130,000 through June 27, 1998 and expects to spend an additional
$1,500,000 in 1998 for both new store and existing store construction and
remodeling.  The Company closed one store on June 30, 1998, the closure had
no material impact on earnings.

     The Company is conducting a comprehensive review of its computer systems
to identify the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and
is developing an implementation plan to resolve the issue.  The Company
presently believes that, with modifications to existing software and
converting to new software, where necessary, the Year 2000 problem will not
pose significant operational problems for the Company's computer systems as
so modified and converted. 





                               


                                    10

     Management believes that the Company's internally generated cash flows
will be sufficient to meet anticipated requirements for operations and planned
expansion during Fiscal 1998.  Inventory levels, which are below last year's
per store levels, now contains a greater proportion of go-forward fall
merchandise, as compared to last year.  The Company's current ratio at June 27,
1998 was 2.1 : 1.00; with cash on hand at $4.3 million and no bank borrowings
as compared to bank debt of $1.2 million at June 28, 1997.  The Company's cash
flow from operations is primarily driven by improved earnings and non-cash
depreciation charges of $2.0 million for the six month period.
  

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

     For the twenty-six and thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1998, the 3% increase
and 5% increase, respectively in comparative store sales and reductions in
several operating expense categories, was partially offset by lower gross
margins and slightly higher occupancy costs, resulting in an increase in net
income in  Fiscal 1998 as compared to Fiscal 1997.  The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses was partially offset by reductions in net
interest expense, and higher interest income.

     Certain financial data concerning the Company's results of operations for
the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June 27, 1998 and June 28, 1997,
expressed as a percentage of net sales, are as follows:

Sales
- -----

     Net sales increased $3,437,000 or 5.3% and $2,409,000 or 7.1%,
respectively, during the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June 27,
1998, versus the comparable periods in 1997.  The increases were primarily due
to the comparable store sales increases during the 1998 periods.  Comparable
store sales increased 3% and 5%, respectively, for the twenty-six and thirteen
week periods in 1998, as compared to the comparable periods in 1997.

     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
27, 1998 and June 28, 1997 were as follows:

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

     Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased $2,379,000
or 5.7% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 1998, versus the similar period
in 1997.  The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales and the
related cost of merchandise for those sales, as well as a $388,000 increase in
occupancy expenses, primarily due to the additional stores in operation during
the 1998 versus 1997.  As a percentage of sales, cost of sales, including the
occupancy expenses, increased 0.2%, (65.3% versus 65.1%) for the twenty-six week
period ended June 27, 1998, versus the comparable period in 1997.  The increase
was primarily due to higher markdowns in 1998, 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.  

     Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased $1,651,000
or 7.5% for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1998, versus the similar 1997
period.  The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales and the related
cost of the merchandise for those sales, and a $170,000 increase in occupancy,
due to the additional stores in operation during 1998 versus 1997.  As a
percentage of sales, cost of sales, including occupancy and buying expenses,
increased 0.3% (64.5% versus 64.2%) for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1998,
versus the comparable period in 1997.  The increase was primarily due to higher
markdowns,  as a percent of sales, versus the comparable period in 1997.

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

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A") increased $217,000
or 1.0% during the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 1998 versus the
comparable period in 1997.  The increase was primarily due to greater payroll
and payroll taxes ($309,000), credit card fees ($47,000), depreciation
($157,000) and licenses and taxes ($59,000), and was partially offset by a
reduction in freight expense ($212,000), telephone expense ($56,000), insurance
expense ($64,000), and store petty cash ($76,000).  As a percentage of sales,
these expenses decreased 1.4% (31.5% versus 32.9%) for the twenty-six weeks
ended June 27, 1998 versus the similar 1997 period.  The decrease was due
primarily to the effect of higher comparable store sales, experienced in the
current twenty-six week period, upon S,G&A expenses, which are relatively fixed
in nature, as well as management's efforts to contain S,G&A expenses.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $153,000 or 1.4%
during the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1998, versus the comparable period in
1997.  The increase was due to greater payroll and payroll taxes ($176,000),
credit card fees($60,000)and depreciation($108,000), and was partially offset
by a reduction in freight expense ($123,000), telephone expense ($37,000) and
store petty cash ($30,000).  As a percentage of sales, these expenses decreased
1.7% (30.0% versus 31.7%) for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1998 versus the
similar 1997 period.  The decrease was due primarily to the effect of higher
comparable store sales, experienced in the current thirteen week period, upon
S,G&A expenses, which are relatively fixed in nature, as well as management's
efforts to contain S,G&A expenses.  

Interest expense
- -----------------

     Interest expense decreased $38,000 (31.1%) and $15,000 (28.8%),
respectively, for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June 27, 1998
versus the comparable period in 1997, primarily due to reduced bank borrowing
and improved earnings in 1998.

Interest income
- ---------------

     Interest income increased to $93,000 from $9,000 for the twenty-six week
period, as well as increasing to $60,000 from $3,000 for the thirteen week
period.  The increase is primarily due to the higher cash flow levels the
Company is currently generating.

Income taxes
- ------------

     The Company's effective tax rate is approximately 41%, for Fiscal 1998 and
1997, respectively.
