         Cost  of sales, buying and occupancy costs increased as a percentage
of   sales  by (7%). This was primarily due to a more aggressive promotional
program that was implemented to improve inventory turnover.

        Selling,   general   and  administrative  expenses  decreased  as  a
percentage  of  sales by 0.9%, primarily as a result of the Company's effort
to reduce store expense and corporate overhead.

        Interest  expense  as  a  percent  of  sales  was 0.6% in the second
quarter  of  fiscal  1997  compared to interest income of (0.5%) of sales in
the  second  quarter  of  1996. This was a result of the decline in cash and
increase in short term borrowing during the quarter.

        The  Company  incurred  a loss of $653,000 during the second quarter
of   1997,  ($0.11 per share) up from $589,000 in the second quarter of 1996
($0.10   per  share).  The  loss can be attributed to an increase in cost of
goods sold partially offset by a reduction in SG & A expenses.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 27, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 29, 1995

        Net  sales  decreased $5.6 million, or 16.0% in the six months ended
July  27,  1996  as  compared  to the same period in 1995. This decrease was
primarily  due  to  store  closures. The Company operated 38 fewer stores at
the  beginning  of  the  period than it did one year earlier. In addition to
the  store  closures,  the Company attributes a portion of the sales decline
to  a 3% decrease in comparable store sales. Comparable store sales declined
as  a  result  of a generally soft demand for apparel merchandise during the
first  quarter  of  1997,  particularly  during  the  month  of  April  when
comparable store sales declined 11%.

        Cost  of sales, buying and occupancy costs decreased as a percentage
of  net sales by 0.5%, due primarily to an improvement in cost of goods sold
during the first quarter of 1997.

        Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage
 of net sales  by 0.5%, primarily as a result  of the comparable store sales 
decline during  the  first  quarter  of 1997, partially offset by expense 
reductions during the second quarter of 1997.

        Interest  expense  as a percent of sales was 0.6% for the first half
of  1997  compared  to interest income of (0.3%) in the second half of 1996.
This  was  a  result  of  the  decline  in  cash  and increase in short term
borrowing during the first half.

        The  Company  incurred a loss of $2.45 million during the first half
of  1997 compared to a $2.58 million during the first half of 1996. The loss
can  be  primarily  attributed  to the decline in store count and decline in
comparable store sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
THE LASALLE FACILITY

        On  November  29,  1995,  the  Bankruptcy Court approved a financing
agreement  on  a  revolving  credit  basis  between  the Company and LaSalle
National  Bank  ("LaSalle"). The LaSalle Facility provides for borrowing and
letters  of  credit,  the  aggregate of which cannot exceed the lower of $10
million  or  a  computed  borrowing  base  based  on  50%  of  inventory and
outstanding  letters  of  credit. Letters of credit are limited to a maximum
of  $5  million.  A first and only lien is granted to LaSalle on all Company
assets  (excluding  capitalized  leases  and excluding permitted liens up to
$400,000).  The Company must maintain a scheduled minimum tangible net worth
and  may  not  declare or pay dividends or other distributions on account of
any  equity interest in the Company until payment or satisfaction in full of
liabilities  under  the  LaSalle  Facility  and termination of the financing
agreement.  Interest  is  charged  at  LaSalle's  announced  prime rate. The
Company  is  charged an annual fee of 1% of the aggregate loan limit, normal
audit  fees,  and a letter of credit fee of 1.25% per annum on the aggregate
undrawn  face  amount  of letters of credit outstanding. The agreement has a
three-year term and was signed on December 4, 1995.

        As  of  the  end  of  the  second  quarter  of  1997 the Company had
$2,217,000  of  direct  borrowing  and  $73,000  of  outstanding  letters of
credit.

        GENERAL

        The  Company's  principal  needs  for  liquidity  are to finance the
purchase   of merchandise inventories, fund its operations and make payments
under its Plan of Reorganization.

        Net  cash  used  for operations for the second quarter 1997 and 1996
was  $1.8  and $3.6 million, respectively. The use of cash during the second
quarter  of 1997 resulted primarily from operating losses during the quarter
and payments   made under the Plan of Reorganization.

        Payments  under  the  Plan of Reorganization of $2,289,000 were made
for  Allowed  Claims  in  late  January  1996,  subsequent  to  fiscal  year
end.Additional  payments were made for Allowed Priority Tax Claims, disputed
claims  that  were  subsequently settled and other costs associated with the
Plan of Reorganization in the aggregate amount of $1,588,000.

        Property  and  equipment  expenditures  were $1,029,000 and $140,000
respectively.  The  expenditures  during  the  first  quarter of 1997 were a
result  of  opening 15 stores and converting 5 stores to new formats. Future
expenditures  on property and equipment have been curtailed until additional
working capital is available.
