                                    (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 1997 Form 10-K, as amended.

     The financial statements presented herein as of June 30, 1998 and for 
the six 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 six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company 
purchased merchandise of $6,894 and $6,236, respectively, from Universal 
International, Inc. (AUniversal@) 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 has a discretionary revolving note agreement with Universal
which provides for borrowings at prime plus 2.5%.  Outstanding borrowings under
this agreement were $10,693 at June 30, 1998 and $8,664 at December 31, 1997. 
Borrowings are collateralized by a second security interest in substantially all
assets of the Company.  Total interest charged by Universal pursuant to the note
agreement was $517 and $359 during the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

NOTE 3. - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     During July 1998, the Company issued an additional 1,500 shares of 
common stock to Universal through the conversion of $450 of its revolving 
note payable to Universal.  This transaction increased Universal's ownership 
interest in the Company from 40.5% to 54.8%.

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

GENERAL

     The Company and Universal both experienced declining operating results 
and liquidity  constraints during 1997 and 1996.  The Company's viability as 
a going concern is ultimately dependent upon the Company returning to 
profitability.  As Universal provides funding for the Company under a demand, 
discretionary revolving note, the Company's viability as a going concern is 
also dependent upon Universal continuing to provide funding to the Company 
for its operating cash flow needs or upon the Company obtaining alternative 
sources of funding.

     In February 1998, 994 Only Stores, which currently owns 48% of 
Universal's outstanding common stock, made an offer to purchase all issued 
and to-be-issued shares of the Company's common stock for approximately 
$830,000.  This transaction is contingent upon the approval of the 
stockholders and other customary closing conditions and should not be relied 
upon as a source of funding for future cash flow requirements.

     During July 1998, the Company issued an additional 1.5 million shares of 
common stock to Universal through the conversion of $450,000 of its revolving 
note payable to Universal.  This transaction increased Universal's ownership 
interest in the Company from 40.5% to 54.8%.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

     Information contained in this Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, which can be identified by the use  of forward-looking terminology such
as "may", "will", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "estimate", or "continue" or
the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. 
There are certain important factors that could cause results to differ
materially from those anticipated by some of these forward-looking statements. 
Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainty.  The factors, among others, that could cause actual results to
differ materially include: the ability of the Company to obtain adequate sources
of funding, the Company's ability to execute its business plan, competitive
pressures on sales and pricing, increases in other costs which cannot be
recovered through improved pricing of merchandise, and the adverse effect of
weather conditions on retail sales.

</TABLE>

     Sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 increased by
$771,000 or 16.2% and $1,208,000 or 12.9%, respectively, from the same periods
in the prior year.  The increase is primarily due to improved merchandise mix
and increased inventory levels.
 
     Gross margin, as a percent of sales, decreased to 36.1% for the second
quarter and 34.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 37.2% and
37.0% from the corresponding periods of 1997.  This change was primarily due to
an increase in the sale of lower margin consumable merchandise.

     Operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998
remained relatively constant with the amounts from the same periods of 1997. 
Operating expenses, as a percent of sales, decreased to 37.8% and 39.2% for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 44.2% and 44.0% for the
same periods of the prior year.  The decrease in operating expenses as a percent
of sales was primarily due to implementation of cost reduction programs and also
due to increased sales, since many of the Company's operating expenses are
fixed.

     Interest expense increased to $262,000 in the second quarter and $517,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  This increase reflects the increase in
borrowings from Universal to fund the Company's continuing operating losses.

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


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has a demand discretionary revolving credit facility with
Universal which provides for borrowings with interest at prime plus 2.5% (11% at
June 30, 1998 and at December 31, 1997).  Borrowings are collateralized by
substantially all assets of the Company.  Outstanding borrowings under this
agreement were $10,693,000 at June 30, 1998 and $8,664,000 at December 31, 1997.

     The Company used $1,679,000 for operating activities during the six months
ended June 30, 1998,  primarily as a result of a $967,000 net loss and a
$893,000 increase in inventories.  The use of cash for operating activities was
funded by a $2.0 million increase in the demand note payable to Universal.

     As Universal provides funding for the Company under a demand, discretionary
revolving note agreement, the Company's viability as a going concern is
dependent upon Universal continuing to provide funding to the Company for its
operating cash flow needs or upon the Company obtaining alternative sources of
funding, and, ultimately, upon a return to profitability.  There can be no
assurance that any of these events will occur.

     In February 1998, 994 Only Stores, which currently owns 48% of Universal's
outstanding common stock, made an offer to purchase all issued and to-be-issued
shares of the Company's common stock not owned by Universal for approximately
$830,000.  This transaction is contingent upon the approval of the stockholders
and other customary closing conditions and should not be relied upon as a source
of funding for future cash flow requirements.

     Since the filing of its bankruptcy petition in May 1994, the Company has
closed 31 of its retail outlets, including one in January 1996, and is presently
operating a total of 22 retail outlets.  At the present time, management has not
initiated any plan to close specific locations but will continue to evaluate the
performance of each of the remaining stores.  The Company does not plan to open
any additional stores in the foreseeable future.  The Company expects 1998
property and equipment additions to be insignificant.
