year 1995. The Company has historically produced a majority of its 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 three quarters of fiscal year 1995 based on the expectation of a net 
profit for the entire fiscal year 1995.

          Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of operations

Third quarter of fiscal year 1995

The Company's net sales decreased to $36,880,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 
year 1995 (the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 1995) from $38,743,000 in the 
third quarter of fiscal year 1994 (the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 1994). 
The decrease in net sales was attributable to a 11% decrease in comparable 
store sales, which was partially offset by an increase in the number of stores 
open at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 1995 compared to the end of 
the third quarter of fiscal year 1994. The Company operated 245 stores as of 
October 28, 1995 compared to 242 stores on October 29, 1994.  The 11% 
comparable store sales decline was due to a general weakness in consumer demand 
for women's apparel which is reflected in a similar decline in the number of 
customer transactions per store. 

Cost of sales, including occupancy expenses exclusive of depreciation, 
decreased from approximately 70% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 
year 1994 to approximately 68% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 
year 1995.  This was primarily due to a decrease in the cost of goods sold 
which was partially offset by greater occupancy expenses as a percent of net 
sales.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 1995, the fashion division and The $5-
$10-$15-$20 Place division ($5-$20) accounted for approximately 90% and 10%, 
respectively, of the Company's net sales, and approximately 96% and 4%, 
respectively, of the Company's operating profit before home office overhead.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $11,267,000, or 
approximately 31% of net sales, for the third quarter of fiscal year 1995 
compared to $11,607,000, or approximately 30% of net sales, for the third 
quarter of fiscal year 1994. The dollar decrease reflects a number of factors, 
including reduced payroll and related expenses associated with the home office, 
health benefit claims and professional services and fees, offset by an increase 
in utilities and maintenance costs as a result of the net increase in stores 
open.

Depreciation and amortization decreased approximately 18%, from $982,000 for 
the third quarter of fiscal year 1994 to $809,000 for the third quarter of 
fiscal year 1995. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in capital 
spending for fiscal year 1995 as compared with previous years levels of capital 
expenditures.

Interest expense, net decreased approximately 20% from $692,000 for the third 
quarter of fiscal year 1994 to $554,000 for the third quarter of fiscal year 
1995. This decrease reflects the maintenance of higher cash balances during the 
third quarter of fiscal year 1995 as well as an  increase in the interest rate 
earned on short-term investments. Interest expense, net was also reduced as a 
result of the first semi-annual principal payment on July 31, 1995 of 
$2,100,000 on the $24,000,000 of 11.375% Notes.

The Company has provided for tax credits based on statutory rates of $384,000 
for the third quarter of fiscal year 1995 based on the expectations of a net 
profit for the entire fiscal year 1995. In order to achieve a net profit for 
the entire fiscal year, the Company must achieve pre-tax profits in excess of 
$4,261,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995.

As a result of the above factors, the Company had a net loss of $612,000 for 
the third quarter of fiscal year 1995 which is 46% less than the net loss of 
$1,135,000 for the third quarter of fiscal year 1994.  The Company historically 
has produced a majority of its income in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 
due to stronger sales experienced during the December holiday season.


First nine months of fiscal year 1995 

The Company's net sales decreased less than 1%, to $108,191,000 in the first 
nine months of fiscal year 1995 (the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995) 
from $109,082,000 for the same period of fiscal year 1994 (the thirty-nine 
weeks ended October 29, 1994). The decrease in sales was attributable to a 10% 
decrease in comparable store sales partially offset by a net increase in the 
number of stores open during the first nine months of fiscal year 1995 compared 
to the first nine months of fiscal year 1994. The 10% comparable store sales 
decline was due to a general weakness in consumer demand for women's apparel 
which is reflected in a similar decline in the number of customer transactions 
per store. 

Cost of sales, including occupancy expenses exclusive of depreciation, 
increased slightly from approximately 68% of net sales in the first nine months 
of fiscal year 1994 to approximately 69% of net sales for the first nine months 
of fiscal year 1995. This increase was primarily due to greater occupancy costs 
as a percent of net sales which was partially offset by a decrease in the cost 
of goods sold as a percent of net sales.

During the first nine months of fiscal year 1995, the fashion division and $5-
$20 division accounted for approximately 87% and 13%, respectively, of the 
Company's net sales, and approximately 93% and 7%, respectively, of the 
Company's operating profit before home office overhead.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $33,574,000, or 
approximately 31% of net sales, for the first nine months of fiscal year 1995 
compared to $32,026,000, or approximately 29% of net sales, for the first nine 
months of fiscal year 1994. The increase resulted primarily from increases in 
utilities and maintenance costs associated with the net increase in stores open 
as well as the introduction of a private label credit card program in the third 
quarter of fiscal year 1994.

Depreciation and amortization decreased approximately 5%, from $2,766,000 for 
the first nine months  of fiscal year 1994 to $2,639,000 for the first nine 
months of fiscal year 1995. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in 
amortized rent expenses for the first nine months of fiscal year 1995 as 
compared with the amortization of rent expenses for the same period in fiscal 
year 1994.
                                  8


<PAGE>

Interest expense, net decreased approximately 19% from $1,963,000 for the first 
nine months of fiscal year 1994 to $1,583,000 for the first nine months of 
fiscal year 1995. This decrease reflects the maintenance of higher cash 
balances during the first nine months of fiscal year 1995 as well as an  
increase in the interest rate earned on short-term investments. 

The Company has provided for tax credits based on statutory rates of $1,654,000 
for the first nine months of fiscal year 1995 based on the expectations of a 
net profit for the entire fiscal year 1995. In order to achieve a net profit 
for the entire fiscal year, the Company must achieve pre-tax profits in excess 
of $4,261,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995.

As a result of the above factors, the Company had a net loss of $2,607,000 for 
the first nine months of fiscal year 1995 compared to a net loss of $996,000 
for the first nine months of fiscal year 1994. The Company has historically 
produced a majority of its income in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year due 
to stronger sales experienced during the December holiday season.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7,773,000 at the end of the first nine 
months of fiscal year 1995, an 81% increase from the total of $4,285,000 at the 
end of the first nine months of fiscal year 1994. During the first nine months 
of fiscal year 1995, the Company used $13,576,000 of cash compared to 
$12,928,000 of cash used during the first nine months of fiscal year 1994. On 
July 31, 1995 the Company made a principal and interest payment totaling 
$3,465,000 relating to its $24,000,000 of 11.375% Notes. Accounts payable at 
October 28, 1995 were $4,535,000 higher than at October 29, 1994, primarily due 
to later receipt of inventory during the third quarter of fiscal year 1995 as 
compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 1994.

Merchandise inventories increased slightly from $30,252,000 at the end of the 
first nine months of fiscal year 1994 to $31,463,000 at the end of the first 
nine months of fiscal year 1995, which represents an increase of 3% on a store 
for store calculation based on the number of stores at the end of each period. 
The Company's inventory turn increased slightly for the first nine months of 
fiscal year 1995 compared to the first nine months of fiscal year 1994.

The Company, on September 28, 1995, increased and extended with the same 
lending institution, its original $13.5 million revolving bank line of credit 
facility to $15 million through June 30, 1996. This credit facility is 
principally intended for the funding of letters of credit for merchandise 
purchased from overseas and for working capital borrowings of up to $3.5 
million.

Capital spending by the Company for the first nine months of fiscal year 1995 
was $1,881,000, primarily for new stores and the remodeling of existing stores.
During the first nine months of fiscal year 1995, the Company opened 16 fashion 
and 2 Paul Harris Direct (PHD); converted 5 $5-$20 stores (2 to fashion and 3 
to PHD); and closed 12 stores (7 of $5-$20 and 5 fashion). Capital spending 
requirements for the remainder of fiscal year 1995 are expected to total less 
than $1 million.

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, supplemented by its 
increased and extended revolving bank line of credit facility, will satisfy its 
ongoing working capital and capital spending requirements through the December 
holiday season. The Company's ability to meet its working capital requirements 
for fiscal year 1996 will require the Company to have a satisfactorily 
profitable December holiday season.

securing repayment of the Liabilities, or any portion thereof, evidenced by the

                                  2


<PAGE>
          b.   Section 2.1 is deleted in its entirety and the following is
     substituted in its place and stead:

               2.1   Revolving Credit Commitment.  On the terms and subject to
     the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Bank agrees to make Revolving
     Loans to Borrower and to issue Letters of Credit, pursuant to Section 2.3,
     for the account of the Borrower, from time to time before the Revolving
     Credit Termination Date in such aggregate amounts as Borrower may from
     time to time request but not exceeding at any one time out standing the
     lesser of (i) the Borrowing Baseor(ii) $15,000,000; provided, however,
     that (a) Revolving Loans shall be limited to $3,500,000 in the aggregate,
     and (b) the issuance of standby Letters of Credit shall be limited to
     $1,000,000 in the aggregate.  Borrower shall have the right to repay and
