Notes to Financial Statements:

(1)    On September 5, 1993, the Company filed a voluntary Petition for Relief
       under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy
       Code") with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the  Eastern
       District of North Carolina (the "Bankruptcy Court") (See Part II, Item
       1, Legal Proceedings).  The Company's Modified and Restated First
       Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") was approved by order
       of the Bankruptcy Court on April 24, 1995.  

       On April 28, 1995 (the "Effective Date"), the Company closed on its
       exit financing loan, thereby satisfying the last condition of the Plan
       and emerged from bankruptcy.  The exit financing is a $125,000 three-
       year revolving credit facility (to be reduced by $5,000 on each
       anniversary) with a letter of credit sublimit in the aggregate
       principal amount of $40,000 with the First National Bank of Boston and
       The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc., as facility agents.  The revolving
       credit facility is secured by a perfected first priority lien and
       security interest in all of the assets of the Company.  On the
       Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Company paid in full the
       claims of its Pre-Petition Secured Lenders in the amount of $26,423,
       all amounts owing to GE Capital Corporation (the "Debtor-in-Possession
       (DIP) Facility"), and various administrative and tax claims as defined
       in the Plan.  Under the exit financing facility, trade suppliers which
       extend credit to the Company will be supported by a $5,000 letter of
       credit and a subordinated lien of $15,000 in the real estate properties
       of the Company.

       The revolving credit facility includes certain financial covenants and
       financial maintenance tests, including those relating to earnings
       before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), debt
       service coverage, capital expenditures limitations, minimum
       stockholders' equity, and minimum/maximum inventory levels, which are
       measured quarterly.  The facility also includes restrictions on the
       incurrence of additional liens and indebtedness and a requirement that
       the facility be paid down to certain levels for 30 consecutive days
       between December 1st and February 15th each year.

       Also pursuant to the Plan, the Company issued and delivered to First
       Union National Bank of North Carolina, as Escrow Agent for the
       unsecured creditors of the Company, 9,850 shares of the Company's new
       common stock for distribution on allowed claims of unsecured creditors
       in accordance with a schedule for distributions set forth in the Plan;
       and 150 shares of the Company's new common stock were delivered to the
       Escrow Agent for distribution to officers of the Company pursuant to a
       consummation bonus plan approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court on
       February 14, 1995.  An initial distribution of stock to unsecured
       creditors whose claims have been allowed will commence on or before
       June 12, 1995 pursuant to the Plan amounting to seventy percent (70%)
       of the stock relating to allowed claims.  Subsequent distributions for
       allowed unsecured claims, payments for administrative claims and
       resolution of disputed claims will be made in accordance with the 
<PAGE>

       provisions of the Plan and applicable orders of the Bankruptcy Court. 
       The consummation of the Plan resulted in a gain on extinguishment of
       debt of $90,924.

       On the Effective Date, all shares of the Company's pre-emergence Voting
       Common Stock and Non-Voting Class B Stock were cancelled and the record
       owners of such stock as of such date became entitled to warrants to
       purchase the new common stock of the Company.  One warrant will be
       issued for every 4.377 shares of pre-emergence Voting Common Stock or
       Non-Voting Class B Stock and will allow the holder to purchase one
       share of the new common stock.  The warrants may be exercised at any
       time until they expire on April 28, 2002.  The initial warrant exercise
       price of $14.45 was calculated pursuant to a formula set forth in the
       Plan.  The formula requires that the total allowed and disputed claims
       of the Company's unsecured creditors be divided by 10,000, the number
       of shares of the reorganized Company's stock to be issued under the
       Plan.   This formula will be adjusted on each of the first three
       anniversaries of April 28, 1995 to reflect adjustments to the total of
       allowed and disputed claims of the Company's unsecured creditors, and
       will be further adjusted on the fourth, fifth and sixth anniversaries
       to reflect 105%, 110% and 115%, respectively of the total of the
       allowed and disputed claims of the unsecured creditors.  Although there
       can be no assurance, the Company anticipates that the warrant exercise
       price will decrease as certain disputed claims are resolved over time. 
       

(2)    In 1990, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
       Statement of Position 90-7 ("SOP 90-7") "Financial Reporting by
       Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" (sometimes called
       "Fresh-Start  Reporting").  The application of Fresh-Start Reporting
       changed the Company's basis of accounting for financial reporting
       purposes.  Specifically, SOP 90-7 required the adjustment of the
       Company's assets and liabilities to reflect their estimated fair market
       value at the Effective Date.  At the same time, the Company made
       certain reclassifications between gross margin and expenses and changed
       the method of accruing certain expenses between periods.  Accordingly,
       the statements of operations and changes in cash flows commencing May
       1995, and the balance sheets beginning with April 1995, will not be
       comparable to the financial information for prior periods.

       In accordance with SOP 90-7, the reorganization value of the Company
       was determined as of the Effective Date.  The reorganization value of
       $35,000 was derived by an outside company using various valuation
       methods, including discounted cash flow analyses (utilizing the
       Company's projections), analyses of the market values of other publicly
       traded companies whose businesses are reasonably comparable, and
       analyses of the present value of the Company's equity.

       The adjustments to reflect the consummation of the Plan and the
       adoption of Fresh-Start Reporting, including the gain on debt discharge
       for liabilities subject to settlement under reorganization proceedings,
       the adjustment to restate assets and liabilities at their fair value,
       and the adjustment to non-current assets for the excess of the fair
       value of net assets which exceeded reorganization value, have been
       reflected in the accompanying financial statements as follows:

Explanations of adjustment columns of the balance sheet are as follows:

       (a)   To reflect appropriate current value of accounts receivable
       (b)   Adjust inventories to current market value
       (c)   Write off of long-term assets
       (d)   Increased bonuses payable as a result of emergence from
             bankruptcy
       (e)   Reclassified pre-petition priority claims and cure amounts
       (f)   Accrued an additional year of property taxes to reflect
             such taxes on assessment date basis, increased insurance
             and loss reserves, and accrued any remaining reorganization
             costs to be incurred after emergence from Chapter 11
       (g)   Unsecured pre-petition claims settled as follows:
             (a)  $4,352 of priority claims and cure amounts reclassified to    
              current liabilities
             (b)  The remaining unsecured claims settled with stock
       (h)   The excess reorganization value was allocated to non-
             current assets, with any excess recorded as a deferred
             credit to be amortized over the period of expected benefit
             but not more than 10 years.
       (i)   Reduction of deferred income to current value
       (j)   Adjustment to reverse unrecognized gain on transition
             obligation
       (k)   To record the settlement of liabilities subject to
             settlement reorganization proceedings in accordance with
             the Plan.
       (l)   Value of new company established


(3)   The Company's consolidated financial statements for years prior to January
      1995 include the accounts of a wholly-owned subsidiary after elimination 
      of intercompany accounts and transactions.  In January 1995, the wholly-
      owned subsidiary was merged with the Company.

(4)   The operating results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of 
      the operating results for a full year due to seasonal factors, among other
      reasons. 

(5)   Included in the reorganization costs for the first quarter of 1994 was a
      provision of $55,000 for the estimated costs of closing 59 stores in 1994
      and to realign corporate and administrative costs accordingly.  

(6)   The fresh start revaluation of $17,432 reflects the net expense to record
      assets at their fair values and liabilities at their present values in
      accordance with the provisions of SOP 90-7 and to reduce noncurrent assets
      below their fair values for the excess of the fair values of assets over
      the reorganization value.

(7)   LIFO expense (credit) is included as an adjustment to reconcile net loss 
      to net cash used in operating activities in the statements of cash flows 
      because LIFO expense (credit) is a noncash item included in cost of sales
      to adjust inventories stated on a FIFO basis to a LIFO basis.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations (Amounts in thousands)

Chapter 11 Proceedings

On September 5, 1993, the Company filed a voluntary Petition for Relief
under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy
Code") with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District
of North Carolina (the "Bankruptcy Court") Case No. 93-01365-5-ATS.

Technical modifications to the Company's First Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization (which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on December
14, 1995) were approved by orders of the Bankruptcy Court dated February
3, 1995 and February 13, 1995 and a Modified and Restated First Amended
Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") was approved by order of the
Bankruptcy Court on April 24, 1995.  On May 1, 1995, the Company
announced that it had satisfied all conditions required under its plan
of reorganization and had emerged from Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code on April 28, 1995 (the "Effective Date").  

For a further discussion of the Chapter 11 proceedings, see Note 1 to
the Financial Statements.

Thirteen Weeks Ended April 29, 1995 compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended
April 30, 1994

Revenue

The Company reported sales for the first quarter of 1995 of $159,407, a
decrease of $15,176, or 8.7%, from the first quarter of 1994.  The
decline in sales was primarily attributable to a decline in sales on a
comparable store basis of 3.1%, together with the decrease in the number
of stores (106 in 1995 as compared to 113 in 1994).  (Month-to-date
sales trends are available from the offices of the Company upon
request.)

Costs and Expenses

Year-to-date cost of sales as a percent to net sales was 75.7% for 1995
and 74.9% for 1994.  The increase in the cost of sales was due primarily
to an increase in promotional markdowns as a percent of sales and a
decrease in markon which were offset somewhat by a decrease in the
shrink percent.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales
were 23.0% in 1995 and 23.8% in 1994.  The decrease was due in part to
the realignment of corporate and administrative costs as well as planned
reductions in store expenses that were made in the second quarter of
1994.

Reorganization costs during the first quarter of 1995 were $3,847 and
during the first quarter of 1994 were $58,781.  Included in
reorganization costs are professional fees, DIP fees and expense
amortizations, and other expenditures related directly to the Chapter 11
filing.  Also, included in the reorganization costs for the first
quarter of 1994 is a provision of $55,000 for the estimated costs of
closing 59 stores in 1994 and to realign corporate and administrative
costs accordingly.  

The fresh start revaluation of $17,432 reflects the net expense to
record assets at their fair values and liabilities at their present
values in accordance with the provisions of SOP 90-7 and to reduce
noncurrent assets below their fair values for the excess of the fair
values of assets over the reorganization value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On the Effective Date, the Company satisfied the last condition under
the Plan for its emergence from bankruptcy by closing on its exit
financing loans.  The exit financing is a $125,000 three-year revolving
credit facility (to be reduced by $5,000 on each anniversary) with a
letter of credit sublimit in the aggregate principal amount of $40,000
with the First National Bank of Boston and The CIT Group/Business
Credit, Inc., as facility agents.  The revolving credit facility is
secured by a perfected first priority lien and security interest in all
of the assets of the Company.  On the Effective Date, the Company drew
down $58,654 which was used to satisfy all outstanding indebtedness to
GE Capital Corporation (the "DIP Facility") and to the Pre-Petition
Secured Lenders as defined in the Plan.  Under the exit financing
facility, trade suppliers which extend credit to the Company will be
supported by a $5,000 letter of credit and a subordinated lien of
$15,000 in the real estate properties of the Company.

The revolving credit facility includes certain financial covenants and
financial maintenance tests, including those relating to EBITDA, debt
service coverage, capital expenditures limitations, minimum earnings
stockholders' equity, and minimum/maximum inventory levels, which are
measured quarterly.  The facility also includes restrictions on the
incurrence of additional liens and indebtedness and a requirement that
the facility be paid down to certain levels for 30 consecutive days
between December 1st and February 15th each year.

At the end of the first quarter of 1995, the Company had $58,654
outstanding under its working capital facility and $8,753 in outstanding
letters of credit.  The Company's unused availability was $25,081 as of
April 29, 1995.  The Company invested $510 in cash for property and
equipment in the first quarter of 1995 compared to $278 in the first
quarter of 1994.

Cash used in operating activities was $35,482 in the first quarter of
1995 and $23,018 in the first quarter of 1994.  The Company expects to
realize positive cash flow from its 1995 operations.  
On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a Warrant Agreement and
Escrow Agreement with First Union National Bank of North Carolina
("First Union") pursuant to which the Company issued to First Union
10,000 shares of Common Stock as Escrow Agent and 4,286 Warrants as
Warrant Agent.  The Escrow Agreement and Warrant Agreement specify the
terms, conditions and procedures pursuant to which First Union will hold
and deliver shares of Common Stock and Warrants under the terms of the
Plan.  (See Note 1 to the financial statements for further discussion.)

                         PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

   No securities (debt or equity) which were not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 were sold by the Company during the fiscal
quarter ended April 29, 1995.

ITEM 1:  Legal Proceedings (Amounts in thousands, except per share      
   amounts)

The Company's business ordinarily results in a number of negligence and
tort actions, most of which arise from injuries on store premises,
injuries from a product, or false arrest and detainer arising from
apprehending suspected shoplifters.  The Company's liability for
uninsured general damages and punitive damages is not considered
material.  No legal proceedings presently pending by or against the
Company are described because the Company believes that the outcome of
such litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the
financial position of the Company.  

On September 5, 1993, the Company filed a voluntary Petition for Relief
under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy
Code") with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District
of North Carolina (the "Bankruptcy Court") Case No. 93-01365-5-ATS (the
"Chapter 11 Case").

The Chapter 11 Case is described in the Form 10-K of the Company for the
year ended January 28, 1995.  The following discussion sets forth
certain developments in the Chapter 11 Case during the first quarter of
1995 and through the date hereof, but is not intended to be an
exhaustive summary.  For additional information regarding the effect of
the Chapter 11 Case on the Company, reference should be made to the
Bankruptcy Code.

Technical modifications to the Company's First Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization (which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on December
14, 1994) were approved by orders of the Bankruptcy Court dated February
3, 1995 and February 13, 1995 and a Modified and Restated First Amended
Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") was approved by order of the
Bankruptcy Court on April 24, 1995.  All conditions to effectuation of
the Plan were met on April 28, 1995 (the "Effective Date"), and the Plan
became effective as of such date.

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Company paid in full
the claims of its Pre-Petition Secured Lenders, all amounts owing under
the DIP facility, and various administrative and tax claims due  at the
Effective Date.  Also pursuant to the Plan, the Company issued and
delivered to First Union National Bank of North Carolina, as Escrow
Agent for the unsecured creditors of the Company, 9,850 shares of the
Company's new common stock for distribution on allowed claims of
unsecured creditors in accordance with a schedule for distributions set
forth in the Plan; and 150 shares of the Company's new common stock were
delivered to the Escrow Agent for distribution to officers of the
Company pursuant to a consummation bonus plan approved by order of the
Bankruptcy Court on February 14, 1995.  An initial distribution of stock
to unsecured creditors whose claims have been allowed will commence on
or before June 12, 1995 pursuant to the Plan amounting to seventy
percent (70%) of the stock relating to allowed claims.  Subsequent
distributions for allowed unsecured claims, payments for administrative
claims and resolution of disputed claims will be made in accordance with
the provisions of the Plan and applicable orders of the Bankruptcy
Court.

On the Effective Date, all shares of the Company's pre-emergence Voting
Common Stock and Non-Voting Class B Stock were cancelled and the record
owners of such stock as of such date became entitled to warrants to
purchase the new common stock of the Company.  One warrant will be
issued for every 4.377 shares of pre-emergence Voting Common Stock or
Non-Voting Class B Stock and will allow the holder to purchase one share
of the new common stock.  The warrants may be exercised at any time
until they expire on April 28, 2002.  The initial warrant exercise price
of $14.45 was calculated pursuant to a formula set forth in the Plan. 
The formula requires that the total allowed and disputed claims of the
Company's unsecured creditors be divided by 10,000, the number of shares
of the reorganized Company's stock to be issued under the Plan.   This
formula will be adjusted on each of the first three anniversaries of
April 28, 1995 to reflect adjustments to the total of allowed and
disputed claims of the Company's unsecured creditors, and will be
further adjusted on the fourth, fifth and sixth anniversaries to reflect
105%, 110% and 115%, respectively of the total of the allowed and
disputed claims of the unsecured creditors.  Although there can be no
assurance, the Company anticipates that the warrant exercise price will
decrease as certain disputed claims are resolved over time.  

On or about May 24, 1995, First Union National Bank of North Carolina as
Warrant Agent for the Company, pursuant to a Warrant Agreement and in
accordance with the Plan of Reorganization and applicable orders of the
Bankruptcy Court, commenced the process of distributing the warrants to
record owners of the pre-emergence Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting
Class B Stock of the Company.  To obtain the warrant certificates, each
shareholder must deliver the stock certificates of pre-emergence stock
to the Warrant Agent and furnish certain information and documents to
the Warrant Agent.  Inquiries regarding the warrant distribution
procedures are to be directed to First Union National Bank of North
Carolina, Shareholder Services Administration Group, 230 South Tryon
Street, 11th Floor, Charlotte, North Carolina  28288-1154, telephone
number (800)829-8432.
