Employee Savings Plan

   The Company  maintains an Employee  Savings  Plan that  qualifies as a thrift
plan  under  Section  401(k) of the  Internal  Revenue  Code.  This plan  allows
employees to contribute  between 2% and 15% of their  salaries to the plan.  The
Company,  at  its  discretion,  can  contribute  100%  of  the  first  2% of the
employees'  salary so contributed  and 25% of the next 4% of salary.  Additional
Company  contributions can be made,  depending on profits. The aggregate benefit
payable to an employee  depends upon the employee's  rate of  contribution,  the
earnings  of the  fund,  and the  length of time such  employee  continues  as a
participant.  The Company accrued approximately  $197,000 for the 52 weeks ended
August 2, 1998, and contributed approximately $181,000 and $159,000 to this plan
