In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the
condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of October 25, 1997,
January 25, 1997, and October 26, 1996 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended October 25, 1997
(fiscal 1998) and October 26, 1996 (fiscal 1997) 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 87% of
     the inventory as of October 25, 1997, January 25, 1997 and October 26,
     1996, 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
     $466,000, $430,000, and $469,000 higher at October 25, 1997, January 25,
     1997 and October 26, 1996, respectively.

2)   Receivables are presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts of
     approximately $36,000 at October 25, 1997 and $42,000 at January 25, 1997
     and October 26, 1996.

3)   Leasehold rights are shown net of accumulated amortization of $21,000 at
     October 25, 1997, $18,000 at January 25, 1997 and $17,000 at October 26,
     1996.

4)   Certain reclassifications have been made to the October 26, 1996 amounts in
     order to conform to classifications at October 25, 1997 and January 25,
     1997.

5)   On December 13, 1996, the Company, pursuant to the terms of a certain Stock
     Purchase Agreement, by and among Jupiter Industries, Inc. ("Jupiter") and
     the Company, purchased from Jupiter, (i) 1,293,258 shares of the Company's
     Common Stock, and (ii) 445 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred
     Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,510,864 of which $2,500,108
     was paid in cash, $1,264,858 was paid by offset against liabilities of
     Jupiter to the Company, and $1,745,898 was paid by delivery of a promissory
     note payable in three annual installments ending December 13, 1999. In
     connection with this acquisition, Jupiter also waived accrued dividends of
     $1,164,000. The gain related to the waiver was recorded as an increase to
     paid-in capital.

     The Jupiter promissory note provides that under certain circumstances, at
     the option of the holder, the outstanding principal amount plus all accrued
     but unpaid interest may be converted into Common Stock of the Company. The
     note is subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company and is payable in full
     upon change of ownership or control. The payment of dividends and the
     purchase of Common Stock is restricted by terms of the Agreement.

6)   As of January 27, 1996, Goldblatt's Department Stores, Inc. ("Goldblatt's",
     a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) had a $3,500,000 revolving line
     of credit. Interest was payable at the certificate of deposit rate plus 1%.
     The line was guaranteed by the Company and was collateralized by a
     certificate of deposit and commercial paper, totaling $3,500,000 as of
     October 26, 1996, and $1,500,000 as of January 25, 1997. The amount of the
     collateral was restricted to the extent of outstanding borrowing on the
     line, which was $750,000 as of October 26, 1996 and $0 as of January 25,
     1997.

     Effective April 23, 1997 a new Revolving Credit Agreement was executed. The
     agreement provides a line of credit of up to $2,000,000 through May 1, 1998
     based on availability of a borrowing base equal to 45% of merchandise
     inventory. The line is collateralized by Goldblatt's inventory and cash and
     cash equivalents. The line of credit agreement requires that Goldblatt's
     maintain a tangible net worth of $5,500,000 and an inventory level of
     $5,500,000. Interest is payable at the prime rate plus 1%. The amount of
     the collateral was restricted to the extent of outstanding borrowing on the
     line, which was $1,175,000 as of October 25, 1997.

7)   On December 13, 1996, the Company, pursuant to the terms of a certain
     Series B Convertible Preferred Purchase Agreement (the "Series B Preferred
     Stock Purchase Agreement"), by and among certain officers and a director of
     the Company (collectively, the "Purchasers") and the Company, issued and
     sold to the Purchasers, through a private placement, 1,500 shares of Series
     B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, no par value per share (the
     "Series B Preferred Shares"), for an aggregate purchase price of
     $1,500,000. Holders of Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to vote with
     the holders of Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the
     Company's shareholders as a single class. Currently, each share of Series B
     Preferred Stock is entitled to 444.44 votes.

     Dividends on Series B Preferred Stock accrue daily at a rate equal to 9%
     per annum. Dividends accumulate until paid, and are paid when and as
     declared by the Board of Directors. At any time prior to the fifth
     anniversary of issuance (automatic conversion), holders of Series B
     Preferred Stock may convert such shares into a number of shares of the
     Company's Common Stock. The current conversion price is $2.25 per share.

8)   On December 13, 1996, the Company also declared a one-for-three reverse
     stock split, effective December 27, 1996. Accordingly, all references in
     this report to number of shares, prices per share and per share amounts
     have been retroactively restated to reflect the reduced number of common
     shares outstanding, unless otherwise noted.

9)   Loss per share applicable to common and common equivalent shares is
     computed after recognition of the dividend requirements on the redeemable
     and convertible preferred stock of $101,000 in fiscal 1998 and $346,000 in
     fiscal 1997.

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


Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,550,000 during the nine months ended
October 25, 1997, which included approximately $2,211,000 of net cash used in
operating activities. Accounts receivable increased by $376,000 due primarily to
an increase in layaway receivables. Inventories increased by approximately
$2,613,000, which is attributable to normal seasonal increases in the
merchandise product lines. Accordingly, trade accounts payable increased by
$2,622,000 to coincide with the heightened inventory levels.

Goldblatt's spent approximately $390,000 on capital expenditures during the
thirty-nine weeks ended October 25, 1997 related to normal capital maintenance.
Goldblatt's capital expenditures for the balance of fiscal 1998 will be minimal
as no new store openings or major store renovations are planned.

Effective April 23, 1997, Goldblatt's entered into a new revolving credit
agreement which provides a line of credit of up to $2,000,000 through May 1,
1998 based on availability of a borrowing base equal to 45% of merchandise
inventory. The line is collateralized by Goldblatt's inventory and cash and cash
equivalents. The line of credit agreement requires that Goldblatt's maintain a
tangible net worth of $5,500,000 and an inventory level of $5,500,000. Interest
is payable at the prime rate plus 1%. The amount of the collateral was
restricted to the extent of outstanding borrowing on the line, which was
$1,175,000 as of October 25, 1997.

As of October 25, 1997, Goldblatt's has working capital of $2,362,000 and line
of credit availability of $825,000. No new store openings or acquisitions are
planned for the remainder of fiscal 1998, and capital expenditure spending will
be minimal. The Company plans to focus its efforts on strengthening the core
Goldblatt's operation over the rest of the year. Particular emphasis will be
given to programs enhancing sales development and inventory control.

Thirteen Weeks Ended October 25, 1997 (fiscal 1998) vs.
- -------------------------------------------------------
Thirteen Weeks Ended October 26, 1996 (fiscal 1997)
- ---------------------------------------------------

Comparable store sales posted a modest 0.2% sales increase for the third quarter
as compared to the prior year. The sales were tempered by unseasonably warm
weather experienced at the onset of the fall selling season. However, the sales
increase continues to build on the upward sales trend established in the first
and second quarters of this year. The net sales decrease of $1,066,000 during
the quarter as compared to the previous year is the result of one store closing
since the third quarter of fiscal 1997.

Gross profit percentage decreased to 34.7% of sales from 35.2% of sales in the
third quarter of fiscal 1997. This decrease is attributable to higher freight
costs as a percent of inventory purchases as well as an increase in retail
markdowns to help spur sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased by approximately
$330,000, or 6.4%, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1997 due primarily
to cost savings associated with the closed store. SG&A expenses increased to
37.2% of sales as compared to 36.7% in the prior year, which is attributable
primarily to increases in the federal minimum wage and increased health
insurance expenses.

Net interest expense increased as compared to the previous year due to a higher
level of short-term borrowings. Also, the Company generated additional interest
income last year from the $3,500,000 of cash and cash equivalents held as
collateral against the revolving line of credit in effect at that time.

Thirty-nine Weeks Ended October 25, 1997 (fiscal 1998) vs.
- ----------------------------------------------------------
Thirty-nine Weeks Ended October 26, 1996 (fiscal 1997)
- ------------------------------------------------------

Comparable store sales have shown a 3.1% increase year to date as compared to
the prior year. These increased sales are the result of a more aggressive sales
promotion program, and particularly strong sales gains during the second quarter
of fiscal 1998. The net sales decrease of $7,699,000 as compared to last year is
due to the closing of four stores in fiscal 1997.

Gross profit percentage dropped slightly to 32.8% of sales from 33.1% of sales
in the preceding year. This decrease is attributable to a higher level of
inventory shrinkage experienced for the first six months of fiscal 1998.
Tightened inventory control measures have since been formulated in response to
the shrinkage.

SG&A expenses decreased by approximately $2,775,000 as compared to fiscal 1997
due primarily to cost savings associated with the closed stores and corporate
overhead expense reductions. Overall, SG&A expenses increased slightly to 38.2%
of sales as compared to 37.8% of sales in the prior year, which is attributable
primarily to increases in the federal minimum wage and increased health
insurance expenses this year.

Net interest expense increased as compared to the previous year due primarily to
the additional interest income generated last year from the investment of the
$3,500,000 of cash and cash equivalents held as collateral against the revolving
line of credit in effect at that time.
