                     NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X and accordingly certain information and footnote disclosures
have been condensed or omitted.  These condensed financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's January 28, 1995 Annual Report on Form
10-K.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows at April 29, 1995 and for all other
periods presented have been made.

The results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal
year 1995.  The Company historically produces a majority of its net income
in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year due to the stronger sales
experienced during the December holiday season.

Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform with
the current period presentation.

2. Income Tax Recoverable

The Company has provided for tax credits based upon statutory rates for the
first quarter of 1995 based on the expectation of a net profit for the
entire fiscal year 1995.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations
         ---------------------------------------------

Results of operations

The Company's net sales increased to $34,801,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal year 1995 (the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 1995) from $34,083,000
in the first quarter of fiscal year 1994 (the thirteen weeks ended April
30, 1994), an increase of $718,000, or 2%.  The increase in net sales was
attributable to a net increase in the number of stores open at the end of
the first quarter of the fiscal year 1995 compared to the end of the first
quarter of fiscal year 1994 which was partially offset by a 9% decrease in
comparable store sales.  The Company operated 249 stores on April 29, 1995
compared to 216 stores on April 30, 1994.  The 9% comparable store sales
decline was due to a general weakness in consumer demand for women's
apparel which resulted in a decline in the number of customer transactions
per store and a slight decline in the average price per unit.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 1995, the fashion division and The
$5-$10-$15-$20 Place division ("$5-20") accounted for approximately 86% and
14%, respectively, of the Company's revenue, and approximately 96% and 4%,
respectively, of the Company's operating profit before home office
overhead.

Cost of sales, including occupancy expenses exclusive of depreciation,
increased to 71% of net sales during the first quarter of fiscal year 1995
from 66% of net sales during the first quarter of fiscal year 1994.  This
increase was due to greater than planned promotional markdowns aimed at
stimulating consumer demand which was brought about by lower than expected
sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10,768,000, or 31% of
net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 compared to
$10,014,000, or 29% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal year
1994.  The dollar increase primarily resulted from increases in selling
payroll due to the net increase in stores open.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses declined by 7% on a store by store basis from the
first quarter of fiscal 1994 to the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a
percentage of net sales was primarily due to the decline in comparable
store sales.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased from $843,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1994 to $895,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as
a result of increased capital expenditures over the last two years related
mainly to the opening of new stores.

Net interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 decreased to
$513,000 from $649,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 1994.  This
decrease in net interest expense reflects an increase in the interest rate
earned on short-term investments as well as the maintenance of higher cash
balances compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 1994.

The Company has provided for tax credits based on statutory rates of
$767,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 based on the expectation
of a net profit for the entire fiscal year 1995.

As a result of all the above factors, the Company had a net loss of
$1,215,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 compared to net income
of $125,000 for the first quarter fiscal year 1994.  The Company
historically produces a majority of its net income in the fourth quarter of
the fiscal year due 


                                        6

to the stronger sales experienced during the December holiday season.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $16,039,000 at the end of the first
quarter of fiscal year 1995, a 32% increase from the first quarter of
fiscal 1994 total of $12,186,000.  During the first quarter of fiscal year
1995, the Company used $5,310,000 of cash compared to the $5,027,000 of
cash used during the first quarter of fiscal 1994.


While merchandise inventories increased slightly from $22,179,000 at the
end of the first quarter of fiscal year 1994, as compared to $22,335,000 at
the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 1995, inventory on a store for
store basis was 13% lower.  The Company's inventory turnover increased
slightly for the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 when compared to the
first quarter of fiscal year 1994.


The Company has a $13.5 million revolving bank line of credit facility
which is principally intended for the funding of letters of credit for
merchandise from overseas.  The Company may make direct borrowings of up to
$3.5 million of this revolving bank line of credit facility.


Capital spending by the Company for the first quarter of fiscal year 1995
was $696,000, primarily for new stores' fixtures and leasehold
improvements.  The Company was operating  249 stores at the end of the
first quarter of fiscal year 1995.  During the first quarter of fiscal year
1995 the Company opened 12 fashion division stores, closed two $5-20 stores
and converted one store from $5-20 to a fashion store.  The Company plans
to open approximately seven more fashion division stores and convert two
more $5-20 stores to fashion stores during the remainder of fiscal year
1995.  The Company plans to close approximately 15 to 20 stores which would
include a minimum of eight of $5-20 division stores.  The majority of these
planned closings are expected to take place in the later part of the fourth
