----------------------------------------------
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the
condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of August 1, 1998,
January 31, 1998, and July 26, 1997 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 1, 1998
(fiscal 1999) and July 26, 1997 (fiscal 1998) 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

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 88%,
86% and 89% of the inventory as of August 1, 1998, January 31, 1998 and
July 26, 1997, 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 $527,000, $497,000, and $460,000 higher at August 1,
1998, January 31, 1998 and July 26, 1997, respectively.
2) Receivables are presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts of
approximately $20,000 at August 1, 1998, $21,000 at January 31, 1998, and
$42,000 at July 26, 1997.
3) Leasehold rights are shown net of accumulated amortization of $23,000 at
August 1, 1998, $22,000 at January 31, 1998, and $20,000 at July 26, 1997.
4) 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.
The Jupiter promissory note provides upon an event of default, as defined
in the agreement, at the option of the holder, the outstanding principal
amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest may be converted into Common
Stock of the Company. The note is subordinated to any 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 are restricted by
terms of the agreement. Additionally, other distributions of cash,
securities or property are also restricted.
The Jupiter promissory note was payable in three installments commencing
December 13, 1997. The Company did not make the first installment payment
of $581,966 due to pending debt restructuring negotiations. Effective May
15, 1998, the original $1,745,898 promissory note obligation was amended
and restated. The amended and restated promissory note is non-interest
bearing unless an event of default occurs thereunder, at which time
interest will be accrued at 9% per annum from the date of default. The note
is payable in three annual installments of $581,966 each commencing May 15,
1999, with the last installment due and payable on May 15, 2001. As a
result of the amendment and restatement, the obligation is reported as a
non-current liability as of January 31, 1998.
In addition, the accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $149,000 as
of May 15, 1998 was forgiven. As a result of this transaction, the Company
has recognized an extraordinary gain on debt restructuring of approximately
$124,000, net of related expenses, in the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

5) Effective April 23, 1997, Goldblatt's Department Stores, Inc.
("Goldblatt's", a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) executed a new
line of credit Agreement with a maturity date of May 1, 1998. The Agreement
provides a line of credit of up to $2,000,000 based on availability of a
borrowing base equal to 45% of merchandise inventory. The line of credit is
collateralized by Goldblatt's inventory and cash and cash equivalents. The
Agreement required that Goldblatt's maintain an inventory level of at least
$5,500,000, a tangible net worth of $5,500,000 and imposed net loss
restrictions for fiscal years 1998 and 1999. As of January 31, 1998,
Goldblatt's was in violation of the net loss covenant. Subsequent to year-
end, the financial institution granted Goldblatt's a waiver of this
covenant effective January 31, 1998 and, in addition, amended the line of
credit maturity date to April 15, 1999.
As of May 2, 1998, Goldblatt's was in violation of the tangible net worth
covenant. Subsequent to this date, the financial institution granted
Goldblatt's a waiver of this covenant, effective May 2, 1998, as to the
fiscal quarter ending May 2, 1998 and, in addition, amended the tangible
net worth convenant to $4,400,000. As of August 1, 1998, the Company was
in compliance with all debt convenants. There was $1,300,000 in
outstanding borrowings on the line on August 1, 1998 and, as of that date,
$700,000 was available on the line of credit.
6) Effective January 30, 1998, Goldblatt's entered into a mortgage loan
agreement for $800,000 with an 8.5% fixed rate of interest from a regional
financial institution. The mortgage is secured by a parcel of owned real
estate housing a Goldblatt's store. The loan agreement stipulates monthly
principal and interest payments of $7,878 and a final principal payment of
approximately $547,000 due on January 31, 2005. The loan agreement requires
that no default exists under the line of credit agreement.
7) On December 13, 1996, the Company, pursuant to the terms of a certain
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock 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 upon each Series B Preferred Share 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 Shares 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) The Company has implemented the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income",
which is effective for interim and annual financial statements issued for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 130 establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The
Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income as
outlined in SFAS No. 130 and has therefore not changed its financial
reporting format.

9) For the second quarters of fiscal 1999 and 1998, basic and diluted per
share calculations are computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding of 1,060,670 and 1,060,671, respectively. For the
first 26-week periods of fiscal 1999 and 1998, basic and diluted per share
calculations are computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding of 1,060,670 and 1,060,680, respectively. Incremental
shares from assumed conversions of preferred stock and stock options of
666,667 and 680,583 in the second quarters of fiscal 1999 and 1998,
respectively, and 666,667 and 680,107 for the first 26-week periods of
fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively, are not included as they would be anti-
dilutive. Options to purchase 163,167 shares of common stock were
outstanding at August 1, 1998, but were not included in the computation of
diluted earnings per share since the options' exercise prices were greater
than the average market price of the common shares, and they also would be
anti-dilutive.
Loss per share applicable to common shares is computed after recognition of
the dividend requirements on the convertible preferred stock of $67,000 in
fiscal 1999 and $67,000 in fiscal 1998.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
-----------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
--------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $288,000 during the six months ended
August 1, 1998, which included approximately $1,238,000 of net cash used in
operating activities. Accounts receivable increased by $220,000 due primarily
to a normal increase in layaway receivables through the year. Merchandise
inventory levels increased by $1,586,000, which is attributable to normal
seasonal increases in the merchandise product lines. Accordingly, Goldblatt's
trade accounts payable increased by $1,305,000 to coincide with the heightened
inventory levels.
Goldblatt's spent approximately $196,000 on capital expenditures during the six
months of fiscal 1999 related to normal capital maintenance. Expenditures
related to normal capital maintenance for the remainder of fiscal 1999 will be
minimal as no new store openings or renovations are planned.
The Company will spend approximately $150,000 through fiscal year 2000 to take
the steps necessary to enable the proper computer processing of transactions
related to the year 2000 and beyond. The Company has focused its efforts on
maintaining the data integrity of current store-level operating systems, while
reviewing more contemporary computer software to enhance current accounting and
purchasing procedures and enable the Company's financial reporting to become
year 2000 compliant. Maintenance or modification costs will be expensed as
incurred, while the replacement of certain systems will be recorded as assets
and amortized. The Company does not expect the amounts required to be expensed
during this year or the next year to have a material effect on its financial
position or results of operations.

Effective May 15, 1998, the original $1,745,898 Jupiter 6% promissory note
obligation was amended and restated. The amended and restated promissory note is
non-interest bearing unless an event of default occurs, as defined in the
agreement, and is payable in three annual installments of $581,966 each
commencing May 15, 1999, with the last installment due and payable on May 15,
2001.
The Company believes that Goldblatt's working capital and line of credit will be
adequate to fund current operations and service the Company's debt through
fiscal 1999.

Thirteen Weeks Ended July 26, 1997 (fiscal 1998)
- ------------------------------------------------
The loss from operations decreased by approximately $207,000 as compared to the
second quarter of fiscal 1998. In addition, the Company recognized an
extraordinary gain on debt restructuring of approximately $124,000, net of
related expenses, in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 due to the Jupiter
promissory note amendment and restatement.
Net sales for the quarter were $12,671,000 as compared to $12,689,000 during the
second quarter of fiscal 1998. Sales were negatively impacted by stiff price
competition from a regional department store chain for several months while they
liquidated their inventory and closed their area stores. Sales volume and
customer traffic have noticeably increased since mid-June after the competitor's
liquidation was complete.
The Company's gross profit percentage improved to 31.5% of sales as compared to
30.6% of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. This improvement is
attributable to more opportunistic purchasing along with a reduced level of
inventory shrinkage.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased by approximately
$104,000 for the quarter as compared to the previous year. This is primarily
attributable to reductions in maintenance and other outside service related
expenses, insurance and corporate overhead expenditures. As a result, SG&A
expenses decreased to 37.6% of sales as compared to 38.4% of sales in the prior
year.

Twenty-six Weeks Ended July 26, 1997 (fiscal 1998)
- --------------------------------------------------
The loss from operations decreased by approximately $257,000 versus the same
period last year. This in conjunction with the $124,000 extraordinary gain on
debt restructuring recognized this year resulted in a $381,000 improvement in
the net loss for the first six months of fiscal 1999 as compared to fiscal 1998.
Net sales for the six month period were $24,420,000 versus $24,443,000 for the
same period last year. Severe weather experienced during March and a prolonged
"going out of business" sale by a regional competitor throughout the spring
season negatively affected sales during this period. However, as the result of
a more aggressive sales promotion program, the Company has experienced strong
sales gains during the latter part of the second quarter of fiscal 1999.
Gross profit percentage increased to 32.6% of sales from 31.8% of sales in the
preceding year. This improvement is attributable to more opportunistic
purchasing along with a reduced level of inventory shrinkage.
Payroll related costs from store operations increased by approximately $129,000
for this time period as compared to fiscal 1998, due primarily to the increase
in the federal minimum wage. Overall expense control and, in particular,
reductions in maintenance and other outside service related expenses, as well as
