NOTE 2. - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     During the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company purchased
merchandise of $6,236 and $6,231, 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 $5 million with interest payable at prime plus 2.5%.  Outstanding borrowings
under this agreement were $3,845 at June 30, 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 $165 and $0
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Sales for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996 were
$4,857,000 and $9,526,000, respectively, a 9.1% decrease and a 1.8% increase
from sales for the same periods in the prior year.  The decrease in sales for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 was due to heavy promotional sales last
year resulting from the grand reopening promotion in May 1995.  The increase in
sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 resulted from strong comparable
store sales in the first quarter of 1996, offset by the decline in second
quarter sales.

     Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $3,175,000, a 10.2%
decrease from the gross margin of $3,536,000 for the prior period.  Gross
margin, as a percent of sales, decreased to 33.3% for the six months ended June
30, 1996, compared to 37.8% for the same period of the prior  year.  The
decrease in gross margins as a percent of sales is primarily due to higher than
planned  markdowns of seasonal merchandise during the first quarter of 1996 and
reduced margins resulting from changes in product mix.  The Company expects
margins to improve during the second half of 1996.

     Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 9.4% to
$4,315,000 compared to $3,943,000 for the same period in the prior year.
Operating expenses, as a percent of sales, increased to 45.3% for the first six
months of 1996, compared to 42.2% for the same period of the prior year.  The
increase in operating expenses was due primarily to costs incurred in remodeling
stores and upgrading point-of-sale cash register systems.

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

     The Company's interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$264,000, a 112.9% increase from interest expense of $124,000 in the first six
months of the prior year.  This increase reflects the significant increase in
borrowings from Universal to fund the Company's store remodeling, increased
inventory levels and operating losses.

     There was no income tax benefit from the losses for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995, since there is no 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 has a significant lending arrangement 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 $5
million with interest payable at prime plus 2.5%.  Outstanding borrowings under
this agreement were $3,845,000 at June 30, 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.  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 $1.5 million for operating activities during the six
months ended June 30, 1996, primarily as a result of a $1.4 million net loss.
The use of cash for operating activities, the $117,000 used for purchasing
property and equipment and the repayment of $367,000 of long-term debt were
funded principally by a $1.6 million increase in the demand note payable to
Universal.
