                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

On December 28, 1994, the Company acquired for $953,000, a 40.5 percent interest
in Odd's-N-End's, Inc. ("Odd's-N-End's"), a Buffalo, New York-based close-out
retailer with 23 retail stores.  The Company's investment was under a court
approved plan of reorganization of Odd's-N-End's which emerged from bankruptcy
on December 28, 1994.  In early 1995, the Company assumed control over day to
day operations of Odd's-N-End's.  Accordingly, commencing in 1995, the Company
is fully consolidating the results of Odd's-N-End's with those of the Company
with elimination of intercompany transactions, including those under a supply
agreement.

In addition, the Company has entered into an agreement, as amended, to advance
up to $5 million to Odd's-N-End's, collateralized by a secondary interest in
substantially all assets, with interest payable at prime plus 2.5%.  There were
advances totaling $4,229,000 and $2,228,000 under this agreement as of September
30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.

NET SALES

Net sales for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996
increased by $2,552,000 or 14.0% and $5,502,000 or 10.9%, respectively, from the
corresponding periods last year.  Management expects that wholesale sales for
1996 will be approximately $4 million less than 1995 wholesale sales of $29.3
million.  Net sales by the Only Deals retail subsidiary increased primarily due
to the addition of 24 new stores since September 30, 1995.  At September 30,
1996, the Company had 49 Only Deals retail stores in operation (including one
store reserved for closing) compared to 26 (including two stores reserved for
closing) at September 30, 1995.  Management expects that net sales by Odd's-N-
End's for 1996 will approximate 1995 net sales of $23.5 million.  Net sales for
Universal Asset-Based Services, a newly-formed subsidiary providing inventory
valuation and liquidation services, were $365,000 and $544,000, respectively,
during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996.

GROSS MARGINS

Gross margins for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996
increased by $1,711,000 or 26.4% and $2,966,000 or 16.8%, respectively, from the
corresponding periods of 1995.  Gross margins in the wholesale business
decreased as a result of decreased sales.  Wholesale gross margins were 26.7%
and 23.2% of sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
respectively, compared to 24.4% and 22.8% for the corresponding periods of 1995.
Wholesale gross margins as a percentage of sales increased in the third quarter
of 1996 primarily due to increased sales of higher margin seasonal merchandise.
Gross margins for Only Deals increased primarily as a result of increased sales.
Gross margins for Only Deals were 44.1% and 43.6% of sales for the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to 43.8% and 44.4%
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995.  Gross margins for
Odd's-N-End's decreased slightly during the third quarter of 1996 due to
decreased sales.  Gross margins for the third quarter of 1996 increased as a
percent of sales from 43.3% to 44.3%.  Gross margins as a percent of sales
decreased to 43.5% for the first nine months of 1996 compared to 45.5%.
Although the gross margin percent for the first six months of 1996 was lower
than 1995 for both retail chains, margins improved during the third quarter due
to changes in merchandise mix.  The Company expects margins to improve in both
retail chains during the fourth quarter of 1996.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 increased by $2,389,000 or 37.3% and $5,752,000 or
31.6%, respectively, from the corresponding periods of 1995.  This increase
primarily resulted from the significant increase in retail operations, which
incur higher operating costs than wholesale operations.  The increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales in the
wholesale business from 21.6% to 24.5% for the third quarter of 1996 and from
23.3% to 26.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was due to the
decline in wholesale sales, since most of the wholesale operating costs are
relatively fixed.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percent of sales for Only Deals from 47.3% to 56.3% for the third quarter
of 1996 and from 51.3% to 57.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
primarily due to pre-opening expenses incurred by the 19 new stores opened
during the first nine months of 1996 in addition to increased infrastructure
costs incurred to support the growth of the retail business.  The significant
increase during the third quarter of 1996, in particular, was due to opening 10
of the 19 new stores during this period.  The Company charges to expense as
incurred all costs associated with the opening of new stores ("pre-opening
expenses") except for purchases of equipment and the costs of leasehold
improvements which are capitalized.  Selling,

                                        9
<PAGE>

general and administrative expenses decreased as a percent of sales for Odd's-N-
End's from 42.4% to 40.3% for the third quarter of 1996 due to the elimination
of certain corporate overhead costs associated with the Buffalo, New York
office, which was closed during the second quarter of 1996.  For the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, selling general and administrative expenses for Odd's-
N-End's increased from 42.3% to 43.4% of sales as compared to the same period
last year primarily due to increased depreciation costs from store remodeling
and upgrading point of sale register systems.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses for Asset-Based Services for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 were $270,000 and $455,000, respectively.

INTEREST

Interest expense increased to $390,000 in the third quarter and $875,000 in the
first nine months of 1996 compared to $190,000 in the third quarter and $450,000
in the first nine months of 1995 due to an increase in borrowings under the
revolving credit facility to support the Only Deals expansion and Odd's-N-End's
working capital needs.

NET LOSS

The Company incurred a net loss of $975,000 during the third quarter of 1996
compared to a net income of $257,000 during the third quarter of 1995.  The
Company incurred a net loss of $3.7 million during the first nine months of 1996
as compared to a net loss of $299,000 during the first nine months of 1995.  The
net loss in the third quarter and first nine months of 1996 was primarily due to
costs incurred to build the infrastructure necessary to implement the
significant increase in retail stores; costs incurred to open 19 new Only Deals
stores during the first nine months of 1996 including 10 opened in the third
quarter; lower than planned retail sales and gross margins; and lower wholesale
net sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1996, the Company had available an $18 million revolving line
of credit through December 31, 1996, at which time the maximum loan amount is
reduced to $16 million through January 1998.  The line of credit is
collateralized by inventories, accounts receivable, and equipment and
improvements of the Company.  The Company may borrow against a borrowing base
derived from the level of qualifying accounts receivable and inventory.  The
amount available at September 30, 1996, based on the borrowing base, was $17.6
million, of which there were outstanding borrowings of $16.1 million and
outstanding letters of credit of $420,000.  As amended the line of credit and
related documents restrict the Company from declaring cash dividends; require
maintenance of minimum net worth; limit the amount of advances during 1996 to
Odd's-N-End's to $5

                                       10
<PAGE>

million and limit the amount of annual capital expenditures to $4 million in
1996.

Net cash used by operating activities was $11.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 principally due to a $3.7 million net loss, a $2.1
million increase in accounts receivable, and a $4.9 million increase in
inventories.  Capital expenditures of $3.5 million, and the $11.0 million net
cash used by operating activities were funded primarily by a $13.8 million
increase in borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

The Company is expanding the Only Deals chain by opening 21 new stores in 1996,
of which 19 stores were opened as of September 30, 1996.  In connection with
store openings, working capital is required primarily to fund the cost of
acquiring additional inventory and the overhead associated with opening new
stores.  A portion of the inventory needs for new stores is already present in
the Company's warehouses.  The Company expects future stores will require an
investment of approximately $290,000 each to open, inclusive of inventory.  The
Company is currently planning to stabilize retail operations at the present
level for most of 1997.  The Company intends to fund the two new Only Deals
store openings during the remainder of 1996 and operations during the remainder
of 1996 and 1997 through a combination of internally generated cash flow and
borrowings under its present line of credit.
