                 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    (In thousands)


NOTE 1. - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared by
the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted,
pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in
the Company's 1995 Form 10-K.

    The financial statements presented herein as of September 30, 1996 and for
the three and nine months then ended reflect, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary, consisting of normal recurring items, for a fair
presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods
presented.  The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of results for the full year.

NOTE 2. - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company
purchased merchandise of $9,315 and $9,983, 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 $4,229 at September 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 $268 and $35
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

</TABLE>

    Sales for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996 were
$4,876,000 and $14,402,000, respectively, a 5.5% decrease and a 0.8% decrease
from sales of $5,158,000 and $14,515,000 for the same periods in the prior year.
The decrease in sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was due to
the closing of one store in early 1996 in addition to a slight decline in
comparable store sales.  Management expects net sales for 1996 to approximate
1995 net sales of $23.5 million.

    Gross margin for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996
was $1,700,000 and $4,875,000, respectively, a 1.2% increase and a 6.5% decrease
from the gross margin of $1,680,000 and $5,216,000 for the same periods in the
prior year.  Although gross margin, as a percent of sales, for the first six
months of 1996 was lower than 1995, margins improved during the third quarter
due to changes in merchandise mix.  The Company expects margins to improve
during the fourth quarter of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.

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

    Operating expenses for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
1996 were $2,002,000 and $6,317,000, respectively, compared to $2,191,000 and
$6,134,000 for the same periods in the prior year.  Operating expenses, as a
percent of sales, decreased for the third quarter of 1996 from 42.5% to 41.1%
due to the elimination of certain corporate overhead costs associated with the
Buffalo, New York corporate office and warehouse, which was sold during the
third quarter of 1996 for a nominal gain.  For the nine months ended September
30, 1996, operating expenses increased from 42.2% of sales to 43.8% of sales
primarily due to increased depreciation costs from remodeling stores and
upgrading point-of-sale cash register systems.

    Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
$152,000, and $416,000, respectively, compared to $95,000 and $219,000 for the
same periods of the prior year. This increase reflects the significant increase
in borrowings from Universal to fund the Company's store remodeling and
operating losses for the three and nine month periods.

    There was no income tax benefit from the losses for the nine months ended
September 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 $4,229,000 at September 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 $1.7 million for operating activities during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, primarily as a result of a $1.9 million net
loss.  The use of cash for operating activities, the $384,000 used for
purchasing equipment and improvements and the repayment of $377,000 of long-term
debt were funded principally by a $2.0 million increase in the demand note
payable to Universal.
