                 CONDENSED 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 July 3,
1999(Fiscal 1999)and January 2, 1999 (Fiscal 1998), and the results of
operations for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended July 3, 1999 and
June 27, 1998 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six
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 January 2, 1999. Certain amounts reflected in Fiscal 1998 financial
statements have been reclassified to conform with the presentation of similar
items in Fiscal 1999.

     Net income includes all sources of comprehensive income.  There were no
adjustments for foreign currency translation, unrealized gains(losses)on
investments or deferred compensation expense incurred in Fiscal 1999 or Fiscal
1998 results.


2.     BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS
       --------------------------

weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the

     The approximate number of shares used in the computations of basic and
diluted earnings per share were 9,258,000 and 9,173,000, for the twenty-six
week periods and 9,266,000 and 9,177,000 for the thirteen week periods ended

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

       During July 1999, the Company reached an agreement with its bank to
extend the maturity of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility until January 31,
2003.  Pursuant to the Amended Revolving Credit Facility $15,000,000 is
available  until expiration at January 31, 2003.  The amounts outstanding
thereunder bear interest at a maximum per annum rate up to 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 ratio,
a maximum capital expenditure covenant and a minimum fixed charge coverage
ratio.  The amended agreement now permits the payment of 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 July  3, 1999,
and January 2, 1999.  The related party debt is no longer subordinated to the
bank debt and repayment is no longer subject to terms of the Amended Revolving
Credit Facility.  The Company is currently in compliance with all covenant
requirements.

     The Company's primary need for capital is to finance new store
merchandise inventories, as well as the construction of new stores and the
renovation of existing stores.  During the twenty-six weeks ended July 3,
1999, the Company used cash ($3,989,000) and cash flow from non-cash
depreciation expenses ($2,139,000) to repay accounts payable ($3,026,000), to
fund inventory increase ($1,767,000)and to fund the Company's store expansion
and remodeling program ($2,940,000).  The Company had no bank borrowings
during Fiscal 1999.

     The Company plans to open approximately thirteen new Cache stores during
1999.  The Company has opened six new Cache stores in the first half of 1999.
Approximately seven new Cache stores are expected to be opened during the
second half of 1999.  The Company also plans to open approximately six new
Lillie Rubin stores during the second half of 1999, including it's first new
prototype Lillie Rubin store at South Hills Village, in Pittsburgh, PA.  After
deducting construction allowances paid to the Company by its landlords, the
Company has spent approximately $2,940,000 through July 3, 1999 and expects to
spend an additional $3,500,000 in 1999 for both new store and existing store
construction and remodeling.  The Company closed one store in July, 1999, the
closure had no material impact on earnings.

     The Company has completed a comprehensive review of its computer systems
and is nearing completion of modifications to existing software and conversion
to new software, in preparation for the Year 2000.  To date, the Company has
spent approximately $125,000 for external consulting, software and hardware
improvements.  The total costs associated with modifying current systems and
new software cost is not anticipated to have a material impact on results of
operations, cash flows or financial condition in any given year.  However, no
assurances can be given that the Company will be able to completely identify
or address all year 2000 compliance issues, or that third parties with whom
the Company does business will not experience system failures as a result of
the year 2000 issue, nor can the Company fully predict the consequences of
noncompliance.

     Management believes that the Company's internally generated cash flows
will be sufficient to meet anticipated requirements for operations and planned
expansion during Fiscal 1999.  The Company's cash flow from operations
continues to be strong, as evidenced by the Company's current ratio at July 3,
1999 of 2.03 : 1.00; with cash on hand of $9.7 million and no bank debt
outstanding.


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

     For the twenty-six and thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999, the 5% increase
and 4% increase, respectively, in comparative store sales, as well as higher
gross margins was partially offset by higher occupancy costs and selling
general and administrative expenses, resulting in an increase in net income
in  Fiscal 1999 as compared to Fiscal 1998.  The increase in selling, general
and administrative expenses was partially offset by reductions in net interest
expense, as well as an increase in interest income.

     Certain financial data concerning the Company's results of operations for
the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended July 3, 1999 and June 27, 1998,
expressed as a percentage of net sales, are as follows:

Sales
- -----

     Net sales increased $8,660,000 or 13.8% and $3,508,000 or 9.6%,
respectively, during the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended July 3,
1999, versus the comparable periods in 1998.  The increases were primarily due
to the greater number of stores open during the 1999 period, approximately 187
as compared to approximately 170 in Fiscal 1998, as well as an increase in
comparable store sales during the 1999 periods.  Comparable store sales
increased 5% and 4%, respectively, for the twenty-six and thirteen week
periods in 1999, as compared to the comparable periods in 1998.

     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
July 3, 1999 and June 27, 1998 were as follows:

                           Twenty-six Weeks Ended       Thirteen Weeks Ended

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

     Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased $4,896,000
or 11.0% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 1999, versus the similar
period in 1998.  The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales and
the related cost of merchandise for those sales, as well as a $1,182,000
increase in occupancy expenses, primarily due to the additional stores in
operation during the 1999 versus 1998.  As a percentage of sales, cost of
sales, including the occupancy expenses, decreased 1.0%, (64.3% versus 65.3%)
for the twenty-six week period ended July 3, 1999, versus the comparable
period in 1998.  The decrease was primarily due to higher initial mark-ups in
1999, as compared to Fiscal 1998.

     Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased $1,959,000
or 8.3% for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999, versus the similar 1998
period.  The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales and the
related cost of the merchandise for those sales, and a $595,000 increase in
occupancy, due to the additional stores in operation during 1999 versus 1998.
As a percentage of sales, cost of sales, including occupancy and buying
expenses, decreased 0.8% (63.7% versus 64.5%) for the thirteen weeks ended
July 3, 1999, versus the comparable period in 1998.  The decrease was
primarily due to higher initial mark-ups, as compared to the comparable period
in 1998, and was partially offset by higher markdowns, as a percent of sales,
as compared to the 1998 period.

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

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A") increased
$2,270,000 or 10.6% during the twenty-six week period ended July 3, 1999
versus the comparable period in 1998.  The increase was primarily due to the
greater number of stores open in Fiscal 1999 as compared to Fiscal 1998.  The
increase in certain expense categories was due to greater payroll and payroll
taxes ($1,875,000), credit card fees ($104,000), depreciation ($127,000) and
licenses and taxes ($110,000), and was partially offset by a reduction in
freight expense ($78,000)and advertising expense($52,000).  As a percentage of
sales, these expenses decreased 0.6% (30.9% versus 31.5%) for the twenty-six
weeks ended July 3, 1999 versus the similar 1998 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 $1,165,000 or
10.6% during the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999, versus the comparable
period in 1998.  The increase was primarily due to greater number of stores
open in Fiscal 1999, as compared to Fiscal 1998.  The increase in several
expense catagories was primarily due to greater payroll and payroll taxes
($964,000), licenses and taxes($67,000) and depreciation($64,000).  As a
percentage of sales, these expenses increased 0.3% (30.3% versus 30.0%) for
the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 1999 versus the similar 1998 period.  The
increase was due primarily to the effect of higher payroll and payroll taxes
which was primarily driven by the greater number of stores open during the
Fiscal 1999 period.


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

     Interest expense decreased $14,000 and $2,000, respectively, for the
twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended July 3, 1999 versus the comparable
period in 1998, primarily due to elimination of bank borrowing in 1999.


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

     Interest income increased to $196,000 from $93,000 for the twenty-six
week period, as well as increasing to $107,000 from $60,000 for the thirteen
week period.  The increase is primarily due to the strong cash flow levels the
Company is generating.

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

     The Company's effective tax rate is approximately 41%, for Fiscal 1999
and 1997, respectively.
