In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the
condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of July 26, 1997,
January 25, 1997, and July 27, 1996 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 26, 1997
(fiscal 1998) and July 27, 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 89%,
     87% and 88% of the inventory as of July 26, 1997, January 25, 1997 and July
     27, 1996, respectively, 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 $460,000, $430,000, and $448,000 higher at July 26, 1997, January 25,
     1997 and July 27, 1996, respectively.

2)   Receivables are presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts of
     approximately $42,000 at July 26, 1997, January 25, 1997 and July 27, 1996.

3)   Leasehold rights are shown net of accumulated amortization of $20,000 at
     July 26, 1997, $18,000 at January 25, 1997 and $37,000 at July 27, 1996.

4)   Certain reclassifications have been made to the July 27, 1996 amounts in
     order to conform to classifications at July 26, 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 and was, as of that date, in violation of a certain financial
     covenant.  Subsequent to year-end, the financial institution had granted
     Goldblatt's a waiver of this covenant effective January 27, 1996.
     Furthermore, the financial institution extended the line of credit through
     May 1, 1997 and removed the financial covenants.  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 July 27, 1996, and $1,500,000 as of
     January 25, 1997. There were no outstanding borrowings on the line as of
     July 27, 1996, and 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 $800,000 as of July 26, 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 $67,000 in fiscal 1998 and $226,000 in
     fiscal 1997.

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

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,711,000 during the six months ended
July 26, 1997, which included approximately $2,138,000 of net cash used in
operating activities.  Accounts receivable increased by $102,000 due primarily
to an increase in layaway receivables.  Inventories increased by approximately
$1,178,000, which is attributable to normal seasonal increases in the
merchandise product lines.  Accordingly, trade accounts payable increased by
$932,000 to coincide with the heightened inventory levels.

Goldblatt's spent approximately $283,000 on capital expenditures during the
twenty-six weeks ended July 26, 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 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
$800,000 as of July 26, 1997.

As of July 26, 1997, the Company has working capital of $1,800,000 and line of
credit availability of $1,200,000.  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.  The
Company believes that Goldblatt's working capital and line of credit will be
adequate to fund current operations and service the Company's indebtedness
through fiscal 1998.

Thirteen Weeks Ended July 26, 1997 (fiscal 1998) vs.
- ----------------------------------------------------
Thirteen Weeks Ended July 27, 1996 (fiscal 1997)
- ------------------------------------------------

Net sales decreased by $3,026,000 during the quarter as compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 as the result of four store closings in fiscal 1997.
Comparable store sales posted a 6.7% sales increase for the second quarter as
compared to the prior year due to a more aggressive sales promotion program.
This continues to build on the upward sales trend established in the first
quarter.

Gross profit percentage declined to 30.6% of sales from 31.7% of sales in the
second quarter of fiscal 1997.  This decrease is attributable to a higher level
of inventory shrinkage experienced this year.  Tightened inventory control
measures have since been formulated in response to the shrinkage.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased by approximately
$1,072,000, or 18.0%, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1997 due
primarily to cost savings associated with the closed stores.  SG&A expenses
increased to 38.4% of sales as compared to 37.8% in the prior year.

Twenty-six Weeks Ended July 26, 1997 (fiscal 1998) vs.
- ------------------------------------------------------
Twenty-six Weeks Ended July 27, 1996 (fiscal 1997)
- --------------------------------------------------

Net sales decreased by $6,633,000 versus the same period last year due to the
four store closings in fiscal 1997.  Comparable store sales, however, have shown
a 4.6% increase during this period 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.

Gross profit percentage dropped slightly to 31.8% of sales from 32.1% 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 $2,445,000 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 38.7%
of sales as compared to 38.3% of sales in the prior year.
