			   CACHE, INC.
	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 April 1, 2000 and January 1, 2000, and the
results of operations for the thirteen week periods ended April 1, 2000
and April 3, 1999 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the
thirteen 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 1, 2000. Certain
amounts reflected in Fiscal 1999 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the presentation of similar items in
Fiscal 2000.

     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 2000 or Fiscal 1999 results.


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

     Basic and diluted earnings per share has been computed based on
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for
the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999.

     The approximate number of shares used in the computations of basic
and diluted earnings per share were 9,193,000 and 9,235,000, for the
thirteen week periods ended April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999,
respectively.

5.      BANK DEBT
	---------
     During August 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 newly 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 equal 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.
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.

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 thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000, the Company used cash ($3,517,000),
cash flow from non-cash depreciation expenses ($1,172,000) a decrease in
receivables ($473,000), as well as increase in accounts payable ($1,268,000)
to offset the cost of inventory purchases ($3,305,000), payment of accrued
liabilities and compensation ($1,446,000), and to fund the Company's new
store expansion and remodeling program ($1,922,000).

<PAGE>



     The Company plans to open approximately ten to fifteen new stores during
2000.  The Company opened two new Lillie Rubin stores in January and five new
Lillie Rubin stores in March 2000, and closed one Lillie Rubin store in
February 2000.  The Company recently opened two new Cache Stores, one store
in February 2000 and one store in April 2000.  The additional new stores are
expected to be opened during the summer and fall of 2000.  After deducting
construction allowances paid to the Company by its landlords, the Company has
spent $1,922,000 through April 1, 2000 and expects to spend an additional two
to three million dollars in 2000 for both new store and existing store
construction and remodeling.

     Management believes that the Company's internally generated cash flows
will be sufficient to meet anticipated requirements for operations and
planned expansion during Fiscal 2000.


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

     For the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000, the benefit of higher net
sales, including a 3% increase in comparative store sales, was more than
offset by higher cost of sales due to higher occupancy costs, higher
markdowns and increased selling, general and administrative expenses,
resulting in a decrease in net income in Fiscal 2000, as compared to Fiscal
1999.

     Certain financial data concerning the Company's results of operations
for the thirteen week periods ended April 1, 2000 and April 2, 2000,
expressed as a percentage of net sales, are as follows:

				    Thirteen Weeks Ended
				    ---------------------
				     April 1,    April 3,
				      2000        2000
				    ---------   --------
Sales                                100.0%      100.0%
Cost of sales, including
 occupancy and buying expenses        65.9%       65.0%
Selling, general and
 administrative expenses              33.0%       31.7%
Income before taxes                    1.3%        3.5%
Income tax provision                   0.5%        1.4%
Net income                             0.8%        2.1%

Sales
- ------

     Net sales increased $4,428,000 or 12.1% during the thirteen week period
ended April 1, 2000, as compared to the 1999 Fiscal period.  The increase was
primarily due to the greater number of stores open during the 1999 period, as
well as an increase in comparable store sales (sales for stores open at least
one year or more) which increased 3% during 2000, as compared to the 1999
Fiscal period.

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

     Cost of sales, which includes occupancy and buying costs, increased
$3,228,000 or 13.6% for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000 as compared to
the  similar 1999 Fiscal period.  The increase in cost of sales was primarily
due to the increase in sales and the related cost of merchandise for those
sales, higher markdowns, as well as a $645,000 increase in occupancy
expenses, as a result of the additional stores in operation during Fiscal
2000 as compared to Fiscal 1999.  As a percentage of sales, cost of sales
including occupancy and buying expenses, increased 0.9%, (65.9% as compared
to 65.0%) for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000 as compared to the 1999
Fiscal period, the increase was primarily due to the increase in occupancy
and buying expenses, as well as an increase in markdowns.


Selling, general and administrative expenses
- --------------------------------------------
     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A")increased
$1,946,000 or 16.8% during the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000 as compared
to the 1999 Fiscal period.  The increase was primarily due to the greater
number of stores open in 2000 (approximately 15 more than fiscal 1999), and
is reflected in greater payroll and payroll taxes ($1,319,000), credit card
fees ($115,000), and depreciation ($140,000).  As a percentage of sales, S,G
& A expenses increased to 33.0% in Fiscal 2000 as compared to 31.7% in Fiscal
1999.


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

     Interest expense decreased from $35,000 in Fiscal 1999 to $0 in
Fiscal 2000, due to the repayment of the related party notes.


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

     Interest income decreased from $89,000 in Fiscal 1999 to $40,000 in
Fiscal 2000, due to the reduction in available cash.


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

The Company's effective tax rate is approximately 36.5%, for Fiscal 2000
as compared to 41.0% in Fiscal 1999.
