                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1.        The consolidated balance sheet as of October 29, 1995 and the
          consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months
          ended October 29, 1995 and October 30, 1994, and the consolidated
          statements of cash flows for the nine months ended October 29, 1995
          and October 30, 1994 have been prepared by the Company without audit.
          In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
          normal adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
          position, results of operations and changes in financial position at
          those dates have been made. The operating results for the quarter
          ended October 29, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results
          that may be expected for the fiscal period ending January 28, 1996, as
          the Company's sales volume is seasonal.

Note 2.        The Company completed a private placement on June 28, 1993 (the
          "1993 Private Placement"). This private placement consisted of
          $1,800,000 7.5% senior subordinated secured notes and $200,000 for
          400,000 shares of common stock. Costs associated with this private
          placement have been allocated between the debt and equity portions of
          the private placement. The costs allocated to the equity portion
          offset the increase in additional paid-in capital. The unamortized
          costs allocated to the debt portion were expensed in full during the
          quarter ended April 30, 1995 as the principal was repaid from the
          proceeds of the Public Offering (see Note 4).

Note 3.        On April 28, 1994, the Company consummated a private placement
          with respect to an aggregate of $1.2 million Principal Amount 7%
          Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures of the Company due two
          years from the date of issuance, convertible into shares of the
          Company's Common Stock at any time prior to maturity, unless
          previously redeemed, at an initial conversion price of $5.00 per
          share.

               The Debentures are subordinated in right of payment to any future
          bank indebtedness up to $1 million and are expressly senior in right
          of payment to all other Company obligations (but subordinated to the
          payment of any future bank or institutional indebtedness up to $1
          million). The Debentures are redeemable, in whole only, from time to



                                        7


<PAGE>

          time at the option of the Company at a redemption price equal to 100%
          of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, provided that
          the Debentures may not be redeemed prior to maturity unless, during
          any period of 20 consecutive trading days ending within 30 days prior
          to the giving of the notice of redemption, the market price for the
          Common Stock is at least 125% of the conversion price.

               Costs associated with this debt, totalling $190,250, have been
          included in Deferred Debt Issuance Costs and will be amortized over
          the life of the debt, which is two years.

               Interest on the Debentures is payable semi-annually.

Note 4.        On March 23, 1995, the Company consummated a public offering of
          2,000,000 Units through Thomas James Associates, Inc., now known as
          H.J. Meyers & Co., Inc., as Representative of the Underwriters. Each
          Unit consisted of one share of the Company's Common Stock, par value
          $.001 per share and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant. The
          public offering price of the Units was $3.00 per Unit. The net
          proceeds of the Public Offering was approximately $4.7 million, giving
          effect to expenses related to the offering.

               The Company retired all outstanding indebtedness from the 1993
          Private Placement with the net proceeds from the Public Offering.

Note 5.        On April 30, 1995, the Company received net proceeds of
          approximately $569,000 pursuant to the partial exercise of the
          over-allotment option in connection with the public offering.

Note 6.        In May, 1995, the Company retired its 186,500 shares of Treasury
          Stock.

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


OVERVIEW

     On March 23, 1995, the Company consummated a public offering of 2,000,000
Units through Thomas James Associates, Inc., now known as H.J. Meyers and Co.,
Inc., as Representative of the Underwriters (the "Public Offering"). Each Unit
consisted of one share of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share
and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant. The Public Offering price of
the Units was $3.00 per Unit. The net proceeds of the Public Offering was
approximately $4.7 million, giving effect to expenses related to the offering.

     On April 30, 1995, the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$569,000 pursuant to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option in
connection with the Public Offering.

     The Company retired all outstanding indebtedness from the 1993 Private
Placement with the net proceeds from the Public Offering.

FINANCIAL POSITION

     Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $377,595 at October 29, 1995 as
compared to $519,470 at January 29, 1995. Cash was increased as a result of the
Public Offering, with approximately $2.0 million being used to purchase
inventory for new retail stores and increase inventory at existing locations,
$900,000 used to prepare two new stores which opened in November 1995,
$1,800,000 used to retire the debt relating to the 1993 Private Placement and
approximately $100,000 used to purchase treasury stock. Inventories increased by
$1,601,243 from $4,732,204 at January 29, 1995 to $6,333,447 at October 29,
1995. Accounts Receivable-Officers and Former Officers were reduced due to
payment received from a former officer. Prepaid expenses increased by $170,531
due primarily to costs associated with the opening of an additional store and
costs associated with the November 1995 opening of two new locations. Other
current liabilities, accrued payroll and accrued sales taxes payable decreased,
in the aggregate, by $19,680 from $304,513 at January 29, 1995 to $284,833 at
October 29, 1995. The current portion of long-term debt decreased by $1.8
million as a result of the repayment of amounts due under the 1993 Private
Placement, and increased by $1.2 million due to the reclassification of the debt
associated with the 1994 Private Placement.

     Net sales for the three months ended October 29, 1995 were $2,390,224 as
compared with $2,097,692 for the three months ended October 30, 1994, an
increase of 13.9%. For the nine months ended October 29, 1995, net sales were
$7,367,374, as compared with $6,667,774 for the nine months ended October 30,
1994. Comparable store sales decreased by 0.7% for the nine month period. Sales
at two new stores have not met expectations due to low name recognition in their
respective markets.

     Gross profit margin for the three months ending October 29, 1995 was 37.3%,
as compared to 29.6% for the same period last year. For the nine months ended
October 29, 1995, gross profit margin was 37.7% as compared to 34.4% for the
nine months ended October 30, 1994. In absolute dollars, gross profit increased
from $621,919 for the three months ended October 30, 1994 to $890,502 for the
three months ended October 29, 1995. For the nine months ended October 29, 1995,
absolute gross profit dollars increased to $2,778,438 from $2,296,269 for the
nine months ended October 30, 1994. The increase in absolute gross profit
dollars of $268,583 and $482,169 for the three and nine month periods presented
resulted from improved margins and increased sales volume during the current
fiscal year.

     Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended
October 29, 1995 increased by $188,523, or 18.5%. For the nine months ended
October 29, 1995, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
$561,198, or 20.4%. The increases are attributable to the operation of three
additional stores during the current fiscal year as against the same period

last year. On a same store basis, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased by approximately $73,000 for the three months ended October 29, 1995
over the three months ended October 30, 1994. For the nine months ended October
29, 1995, selling, general and administrative expenses increased on a same store
basis by approximately $12,300 over the nine months ended October 30, 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Working capital was $3,182,821 at October 29, 1995, as compared to $281,325
as of January 29, 1995. This increase was principally the result of the Public
Offering and repayment of the debt associated with the 1993 Private Placement.
The Company's current ratio as of October 29, 1995 was 1.77 to one, as compared
to 1.05 to one at January 29, 1995.

     Each Unit of the Public Offering consisted of one share of the Company's
Common Stock, par value $.001 per share and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase
Warrant. The Public Offering price of the Units was $3.00 per Unit. The net
proceeds of the Public Offering was approximately $4.7 million, giving effect to
expenses related to the offering.

     On April 30, 1995, the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$569,000 pursuant to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option in
connection with the Public Offering.

     The Company retired all outstanding indebtedness from the 1993 Private
Placement with the net proceeds from the Public Offering.

     At present, the Company has sufficient capital resources and cash flow to
maintain operations. The Company is seeking a new banking relationship in order
to establish a line of credit to finance its working capital requirements.
