THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THESE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

                                   May 3, 1997


                                                                           
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Loehmann's, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to
hereafter as the Company. All significant intercompany items have been
eliminated in consolidation.

The balance sheet at May 3, 1997 and the statements of operations and cash flows
for the quarters ended May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996 include, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements required by generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted. Operating results for the quarter ended May 3, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended January
31, 1998. It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the fiscal
year ended February 1, 1997 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for such year.

Net income per share amounts were determined by dividing net income (after
deducting dividends on and accretion of preferred stock) by the weighted average
number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each
period.

2. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes primarily represents alternative minimum tax and
state and local taxes for states that do not allow net operating loss
carryforwards.

3. USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ.


                                                                               4

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

                                   May 3, 1997



4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Effective December 31, 1997, the Company will adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, ("FAS 128") which will simplify
the calculation and presentation of earnings per share data and require the
restatement of earnings per share data for all periods presented. Earlier
adoption is not permitted. Upon the adoption of FAS 128 at the end of 1997,
reported primary earnings per share of $0.04 and $0.31 for the quarters ended
May 3, 1997 and May 4 1996, respectively, will be restated to reflect basic
earnings per common share of $0.04 and $0.35 and diluted income per common share
$0.04 and $0.31 per common share and common share equivalents.

5. EQUITY AND DEBT OFFERING

On May 10, 1996, the Company sold 3,572,000 shares of Common Stock and $100.0
million principal amount of 11-7/8% Senior Notes due 2003 (the "Senior Notes").
The net proceeds received from such offerings (the "Offerings") were used (i) to
redeem in full $52.5 million face amount of the Company's 10-1/2% Senior Secured
Notes due 1997, at a redemption price of 103.5% of the face amount of such
notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) to redeem in full $77.6 million
face amount of the Company's 13-3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 1999 at a
redemption price of 101.0% of the face amount of such notes, plus accrued and
unpaid interest and (iii) to redeem all issued and outstanding shares of the
Company's Series A Preferred Stock at its liquidation price of $0.56 per share
for a total of $20.9 million (collectively, the "Existing Obligations").

As a result of these transactions, the Company incurred approximately $4.7
million in extraordinary losses on the early extinguishment of debt and $2.0
million in losses from the write-off of related deferred financing costs
associated with such indebtedness, and a $5.1 million charge to accumulated
deficit from the accelerated accretion of the Series A Preferred Stock to its
liquidation price of $0.56 per share.

RESULT OF OPERATIONS--COMPARISON OF THE QUARTERS ENDED MAY 3, 1997 AND MAY 4,
1996

Net sales for the thirteen week period ended May 3, 1997, were $112.6 million as
compared to $104.1 million for the comparable period in the prior year, an
increase of approximately $8.5 million or 8.1%. Comparable store sales (sales at
stores that were in operation for both periods) decreased by 6.2%. The increase
in net sales was due to the sales contribution from eight new stores opened
during the preceding 52 weeks, partially offset by the closure of four stores
during the same period and the decrease in comparable stores results.

Gross profit for the thirteen week period ended May 3, 1997, was $35.1 as
compared to $33.7 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of
$1.4 million or 4.1%. Gross margin percent decreased to 31.2% from 32.4% in the
prior year period. The decline in margin percent was a result of an increase in
markdowns as a percentage of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the thirteen week period ended
May 3, 1997, were $28.9 million as compared to $23.9 million during the same
period in the prior year, an increase of $5.0 million, or 20.9%. As a percentage
of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 25.6% versus
22.9% during the same period in the prior year. The increase in selling, general
and administrative expenses was due to additional payroll, occupancy,
advertising and other costs related to the opening of eight new stores since the
first quarter of 1996.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the thirteen week period ended May 3,
1997, was $2.9 million as compared to $3.1 million for the same period in the
prior year, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million, or 9.0%. This decrease was
primarily due to the reduction in amortization expense associated with the
refinancing of debt pursuant to the Debt Offering.

Net interest expense for the thirteen week period ended May 3, 1997 was $3.0
million as compared to $4.2 million for the same period in the prior year, a
decrease of approximately $1.2 million or 29.8%. The reduction in net interest
expense primarily resulted from the Company's reduction of approximately $35.0
million of senior notes and a reduction of the average interest rate paid on the
long term debt by approximately 60 basis points, partially offset by interest
expense incurred on borrowings under the revolving line of credit. In May 1996,
the Company redeemed its 10-1/2% Senior Secured Notes and 13-3/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes totaling $130.0 million face value and issued $100.0 million
face value of 11-7/8% Senior Notes, of which, $5.0 million was repurchased
during fiscal 1996.

                                                                               6

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used as a result of operating activities totaled $1.4 million during
the quarter ended May 3, 1997. Cash of $3.2 million was provided from operations
after adding back non-cash charges, offset by the use of net working capital of
approximately $4.7 million primarily related to seasonal needs, the three new
stores opened during the quarter and two stores opened in May, 1997.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $2.3 million during the quarter
ended May 3, 1997. These expenditures were principally related to capital
expenditures for leasehold improvements and fixtures primarily associated with
the opening of three new stores during the first quarter of 1997.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $4.0 million during
the quarter ended May 3, 1997, and reflects the proceeds from borrowings under
the Company's revolving line of credit.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations and funds available
under its revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to satisfy its cash
requirements through fiscal 1997.
