              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (In thousands)


NOTE 1. - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes included in the Company's 1995 Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year.


NOTE 2. - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     During the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company
purchased merchandise of $2,843 and $2,940, respectively, from Universal
International, Inc. ("Universal") pursuant to a supply agreement between the
parties. Universal owns 40.5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.
The supply agreement allows for, among other things, Universal to achieve a
gross profit margin of approximately 15.25% on the merchandise sold to the
Company.

     The Company entered into a discretionary revolving note agreement with
Universal in February 1995. The agreement, as amended, allows for borrowings up
to $3,500 with interest payable at prime plus 2.5%. Outstanding borrowings under
this agreement were $3,139 at March 31, 1996 and $2,228 at December 31, 1995.
Borrowings are subordinated to the bank notes and collateralized by a second
security interest in substantially all assets of the Company. Total interest
charged by Universal pursuant to the note agreement was $76 and $0 during the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain items
from the Company's operating statement data expressed as a percentage of sales.

                                                         -----            ----

     Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $4,669,000, a 16.4%
increase from sales of $4,011,000 for the same period in the prior year. This
increase was due to increased comparable store sales of 19.4%, offset slightly
by the closing of one store in early 1996.

     Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $1,503,000, a
6.3% decrease from the gross margin of $1,604,000 for the prior period. Gross
margin, as a percent of sales, decreased to 32.2% for the quarter ended March
31, 1996, compared to 40.0% for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The
decrease in gross margins as a percent of sales is primarily due to greater
markdowns of seasonal merchandise during 1996.

     Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased
12.1% to $2,103,000 compared to $1,876,000 for the same period in the prior
year. Operating expenses, as a percent of sales, decreased to 45.0% for the
first quarter of 1996, compared to 46.8% for the first quarter of the prior
year.

     The Company's interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1996
was $126,000, a 100% increase from interest expense of $63,000 in the prior
year's first quarter. This increase reflects the significant increase in
borrowings from Universal to fund the Company's store remodeling, increased 
inventory levels and continuing operating losses.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS   (Continued)

     There was no income tax benefit from the losses for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, since there is no remaining net operating loss
carryback available, and the net benefit attributed to the net operating losses
being carried forward has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's principal lending arrangement is with Universal. The Company
entered into a discretionary revolving note agreement with Universal in February
1995. The agreement, as amended, allows for borrowings up to $3.5 million with
interest payable at prime plus 2.5%. Outstanding borrowings under this agreement
were $3,139,000 at March 31, 1996 and $2,228,000 at December 31, 1995.
Borrowings are subordinated to the bank notes and collateralized by a second
security interest in substantially all assets of the Company. Total interest
charged by Universal pursuant to the note agreement was $76,000 and $0 during
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. This agreement may
be terminated by either party at any time. The Company believes that this
agreement will fund its merchandise purchases for the foreseeable future.

     The Company used $794,000 for operating activities during the three months
ended March 31, 1996, primarily as a result of a $726,000 net loss. The use of
cash for operating activities, the $58,000 used for purchasing property and
equipment and the repayment of $357,000 of long-term debt were funded
principally by a $911,000 increase in the note payable to Universal.
