                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (unaudited)

A.    Accounting Policies

      The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared
by the Company in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission in regard to quarterly reporting. In the opinion of the Company, the
statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, which are necessary for a fair representation of the financial
position and results of operations for interim periods.

B.    Interim Results of Operations

      The Company's business is highly seasonal, with peak sales periods
occurring during its fourth fiscal quarter which includes the Christmas season.
The net earnings of any interim quarter are seasonally disproportionate to net
sales since administrative and certain operating expenses remain relatively
constant during the year. Consequently, interim results should not be considered
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.

C.    Expansion

      Since January 31, 1998, the Company opened ten new stores totaling 44,178
square feet. The store in Spartanburg, South Carolina was a relocation (3,600
square feet) and conversion into a superstore.

Since the beginning of the year, the Company also closed stores in Williamsburg,
Iowa (2,900 square feet), Lawrence, Kansas (3,000 square feet) and Slidel,
Louisiana (3,600 square feet), all of which had not met the Company's sales and
profitability expectations.

      Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 increased 11%, or $3.6
million, over the same period last year, and reflects the net addition of 18 new
stores. Comparable store sales were up 1%. During the first quarter the Company
opened six new stores and closed three (one of which was a relocation). There
were 214 stores in operation as of May 2, 1998, compared to 196 stores at April
26, 1997.

      Cost of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was 52.1% of net sales
compared to 52.5% of net sales for the same period last year. This 0.4% of net
sales reduction was primarily due to lower promotional markdowns being incurred
this year.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 were 39.1% of net sales compared to 40.0% of net sales in the
previous year. This 0.9% of net sales decrease was due to improved leverage of
fixed expenses including headquarters compensation and group health costs, and
due to increased net alterations income. Additionally, over the last 18 months
the Company has opened the majority of its new stores in existing markets which
also provides better leveraging of various selling, general and administrative
expense line items.

      Interest expense was 0.3% of net sales in the first quarter of both fiscal
1999 and 1998. While interest expense increased due to higher interest rates and
higher average borrowing levels, sales leveraging kept the percentage to net
sales flat.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company has funded its operating activities, including capital
expenditures for the opening of new stores, from internally generated funds and
from bank borrowings. During the three months ended May 2, 1998, the Company
opened six new stores and closed three. The Company plans to open a total of 20
- - 25 new stores in fiscal 1999, while also remodeling several others. The
Company believes that its sources of liquidity and capital resources will
continue to be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures.

      Operating activities used net cash of $4.7 million and $.3 million during
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. This fluctuation was
primarily attributable to earlier payments on inventory purchases this year
versus last year, which resulted in lower payables at quarter end.

      Net cash used for investing activities was primarily for the purpose of
store openings and remodelings. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 and 1998 approximated $1.5 million and $.5 million, respectively.
The Company opened six new stores, coverted one to its superstore format and
remodeled another three stores in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to
opening three new stores during the comparable period last year.

      Financing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 and 1998
provided net cash of approximately $6.0 million and $.6 million, respectively .
Financing activities primarily relate to fluctuations in the borrowing levels
under the Company's revolving credit agreements. The Company's revolving credit
agreements with two banks aggregate $30.0 million. As of May 2, 1998 the Company
had net unused commitments of approximately $22.0 million under the agreements.
