                ----------------------------------------------



In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the
condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of October 28, 1995,
January 28, 1995, and October 29, 1994 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended October 28, 1995
(fiscal 1996) and October 29, 1994 (fiscal 1995) have been included. These
adjustments consist solely of normal recurring accruals. The results of
operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results
for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is
suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the
Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

                                  -----------

1)   Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
     determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis for approximately 86% of
     the inventory as of October 28, 1995, January 28, 1995 and October 29,
     1994, using the retail method. The remaining inventory is valued on the
     first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis using the retail method. If the FIFO
     method had been used to value all inventories, cost would have been
     $39,000, $1,843,000, and $1,615,000 higher at October 28, 1995, January 28,
     1995 and October 29, 1994, respectively.

2)   Receivables are presented net of allowances for cancellation reserves and
     doubtful accounts of approximately $0 at October 28, 1995, $384,000 at
     January 28, 1995 and $452,000 at October 29, 1994.

3)   Leasehold rights are shown net of accumulated amortization of $2,517,000 at
     October 28, 1995, $2,409,000 at January 28, 1995 and $2,390,000 at October
     29, 1994.

4)   As previously reported, during fiscal 1995, Sussex Group, Ltd. ("Sussex",
     an indirect majority owned subsidiary of the Company), transferred or sold
     a total of 800,000 shares of Huffman Koos Inc. ("H-K") common stock to
     Jupiter Industries, Inc. ("Jupiter"). The transfer of 700,000 shares of
     this stock on February 4, 1994 was used to repay a $5,075,000 note payable
     to Jupiter. The remaining 100,000 shares of H-K common stock was sold to
     Jupiter on November 30, 1994 for $800,000. As a result of the transfer and
     sale of these shares, the Company recognized a gain of $1,540,000 in fiscal
     1995. This gain was recorded as an increase to paid-in capital and
     represents the difference between the amount of the note retired and cash
     received and the proportionate share of H-K net equity represented by these
     shares.

     Effective May 23, 1995, the Company through Sussex sold an additional
     150,000 shares of H-K common stock to Jupiter for $1,125,000. As a result
     of the sale of these shares, the Company recognized a gain of $176,000.
     This gain was recorded as an increase to paid-in capital and represents the
     difference between cash received and the proportionate share of H-K net
     equity represented by these shares. The Company used $625,000 of the
     proceeds from the May 23, 1995 stock sale to make payments on JG's
     $7,125,000 term loan.

     Pursuant to the terms of the various stock purchase agreements (the
     "Agreements"), Sussex has been granted an option to repurchase any or all
     of the 950,000 H-K shares on or prior to February 4, 1996 for a purchase
     price ranging from $7.25 to $8.00 per share plus interest on such amount.
     The Agreements also contained a provision which required Jupiter to vote
     the 950,000 H-K shares for the election of a majority of the Board of
     Directors of H-K as Sussex shall direct. As a result of this voting
     provision, the Company through Sussex, retained effective control of H-K.
     Jupiter and Sussex collectively owned of record 2,200,000 H-K shares,
     representing approximately 55.9% of the total issued and outstanding H-K
     shares at October 28, 1995.

     As previously reported, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
     September 18, 1995, stockholders of H-K stock received a tender offer from
     unrelated third party on September 25, 1995 to acquire all of the issued
     and outstanding H-K shares at a per share purchase price of $9.375 in cash.
     Upon consumption of the tender offer on October 27, 1995, Sussex sold its
     1,250,000 H-K shares for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately
     $11,719,000. On October 27, 1995, pursuant to an agreement dated September
     18, 1995 between Jupiter and Sussex, Sussex also exercised its option to
     repurchase the 950,000 H-K shares for the total purchase price of
     $7,000,000 plus interest of approximately $641,000, and instructed Jupiter
     to tender the 950,000 H-K shares. As a result of the repurchase, the
     Company recorded a $1,288,000 loss. This loss was recorded as a decrease to
     paid-in capital and represents the difference between the total cash due to
     Jupiter and the proportionate portion of H-K equity represented by these
     shares. The Company also recorded a receivable from Jupiter of
     approximately $1,265,000. This receivable represents the difference between
     proceeds from the sale of $8,906,000 and $7,641,000 owed to Jupiter by
     Sussex. The $6,121,000 gain on sale of discontinued operations for the
     quarter ending October 28, 1995 includes a $6,078,000 gain on sale of the
     2,200,000 H-K shares (less applicable income tax of $342,000 and expenses),
     and $382,000 of net income from discontinued operations during the phase-
     out period from the measurement date of September 25, 1995, net of
     applicable income taxes of $332,000.

Subsequent to October 28, 1995, the Company used the proceeds from the
transaction to repay all debt outstanding under the Company's term loan of
approximately $6,250,000 plus interest. $3,500,000 was placed as collateral
required by the lender on the Goldblatt's line of credit. This amount was
reduced to $2,000,000 on November 23, 1995.

As a result of the transactions described above, previously issued consolidated
statements of operations have been restated to reflect H-K as a discontinued
operation.

Summarized results of H-K business are as follows:

5)   During the first and second quarters of fiscal 1996 and 1995, options to
     purchase 13,480 and 3,800 shares, respectively, of common stock of H-K were
     exercised. Losses of $23,000 and $6,000, respectively, on the issuance of
     these shares were recorded by the Company with an increase to minority
     interest as H-K's net book value per share exceeded the option prices.

6)   Loss per share applicable to common and common equivalent shares is
     computed after recognition of the dividend requirements on redeemable
     preferred stock of $200,000 in fiscal 1996 and $157,000 in fiscal 1995.

                -----------------------------------------------
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 ---------------------------------------------

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

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $9,680,000 during the nine months ended
October 28, 1995 which included approximately $2,035,000 of net cash used in
operating activities. Accounts receivable decreased by $3,627,000 and the
undelivered sales liability decreased by $2,339,000 due to the record volume of
furniture delivery by Huffman Koos Inc. ("H-K") during the nine months ended
October 28, 1995. These deliveries generated cash receipts which were used to
decrease accrued expenses by $881,000. Inventory increased by approximately
$5,451,000 due to normal seasonal increases. Approximately $1,361,000 of net
cash was used in investing activities due solely to capital expenditures as
described below. Approximately $12,844,000 was provided from sale of H-K stock,
reduced by $1,017,000 of H-K cash at October 28, 1995. Approximately $1,249,000
of net cash was provided by financing activities due to net borrowings on lines
of credit of $3,469,000 offset by scheduled debt payments of $2,300,000.

Goldblatt's Department Stores, Inc. ("Goldblatt's") spent approximately $583,000
on capital expenditures during the first nine months of fiscal 1996 related to
normal capital maintenance. Goldblatt's capital expenditures for the balance of
fiscal 1996 will be minimal as no new store openings or major store renovations
are planned. Goldblatt's had remaining availability of $31,000 under its line of
credit as of October 28, 1995. The amount available under the line of credit at
November 25, 1995 was $1,031,000. The Company believes that Goldblatt's working
capital and line of credit will be adequate to fund current operations and
service the Company's indebted ness through fiscal 1996.

H-K spent approximately $777,000 on capital expenditures during the first nine
months of fiscal 1996, the majority of which related to the renovation of its
Bridgewater, New Jersey store. The remodeling was completed in May 1995 at a
total cost of approximately $410,000.

As previously reported, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
September 18, 1995, stockholders of H-K stock received a tender offer on
September 25, 1995 to acquire all of the issued and outstanding H-K shares at a
per share purchase price of $9.375 in cash. Upon consumption of the tender offer
on October 27, 1995, Sussex sold its 1,250,000 H-K shares for an aggregate cash
consideration of approximately $11,719,000. On October 27, 1995, pursuant to an
agreement dated September 18, 1995 between Jupiter and Sussex, Sussex also
exercised its option to repurchase the 950,000 H-K shares for the total purchase
price of $7,000,000 plus interest of approximately $641,000, and instructed
Jupiter to sell the 950,000 H-K shares. As a result of the repurchase, the
Company recorded a $1,288,000 loss. This loss was recorded as a decrease to 
paid-in capital and represents the difference between the total cash due to
Jupiter and the proportionate portion of H-K equity represented by these shares.
The Company also recorded a receivable from Jupiter of approximately $1,265,000.
This receivable represents the difference between proceeds from the sale of
$8,906,000 and $7,641,000 owed to Jupiter by Sussex. The $6,121,000 gain on sale
of discontinued operations for the quarter ending October 28, 1995 includes a
$6,078,000 gain on sale of the 2,200,000 H-K shares (less applicable income tax
of $342,000 and expenses), and $382,000 of net income from discontinued
operations during the phase-out period from the measurement date of September
25, 1995, net of applicable income taxes of $332,000.

Subsequent to October 28, 1995, the Company used the proceeds from the
transaction to repay all debt outstanding under the Company's term loan of
approximately $6,250,000 plus interest. $3,500,000 was placed as collateral
required by the lender on the Goldblatt's line of credit. This amount was
reduced to $2,000,000 on November 23, 1995.

Net sales from continuing operations decreased 3.5% over the prior year due to a
sales decline for the quarter at Goldblatt's. Both apparel and hardlines
suffered during the quarter. Customer concerns over steady employment have
caused an apparent lack of consumer confidence, and consumers have remained
cautious in the use of their disposable income. Goldblatt's sales have been on
an upward trend showing a 4.9% increase in November.

The Company's gross profit percentage remained relatively constant at 34.3% of
sales, compared to 33.8% of sales in the prior year. The slight increase is due
to less than expected markdowns.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased to 35.9% of
sales from 34.0% of sales in the prior year. The fixed nature of costs
associated with operating stores, coupled with the store sales decline, was the
main reason for the increase in Goldblatt's SG&A percentage.

Interest expense increased because of the interest paid to Jupiter upon exercise
of the option to buy back the 950,000 H-K common shares, partially offset by
lower indebtedness at JG resulting from the fiscal 1995 and 1996 debt
repayments.

THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 29, 1994 (FISCAL 1995)
- ------------------------------------------------------

Net sales from continuing operations decreased 3.9% for the thirty-nine weeks
ended October 28, 1995. This decrease was the result of cold and rainy weather
conditions during the first two months of the year and continued restrain in
customers' use of available income.

The Company's gross profit percentage remained relatively constant at 32.3% of
sales compared to 32.8% of sales in the prior year.

SG&A increased to 37.1% of sales from 34.4% of sales in the prior year. The
increase in SG&A expense as a percentage of sales was due to the sales decline.
Actual SG&A expense at Goldblatt's was down approximately $29,000.

Interest expense increased because of increases in the prime rate of interest as
well as the interest paid to Jupiter upon exercise of the option to buy back the
950,000 of H-K common stock.
