                     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 $3,845,000 and $2,228,000 under this agreement as of June 30,
1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.

During the second quarter of 1996, the Company formed a 95% owned subsidiary,
Universal Asset-Based Services, Inc. ("Asset-Based Services"), which provides
inventory valuation and liquidation services to a wide range of financial
institutions, retailers and manufacturers.

NET SALES

Net sales for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 
by $1,303,000 or 7.6% and $2,950,000 or 9.2%, respectively, from the 
corresponding periods last year.  Management expects that wholesale sales for 
1996 will be approximately the same as the 1995 wholesale sales of $29.3 
million.  Net sales by the Only Deals retail subsidiary increased primarily 
due to the addition of 18 new stores since June 30, 1995.  At June 30, 1996, 
the Company had 39 Only Deals retail stores in operation (including one store 
reserved for closing) compared to 22 (including two stores reserved for 
closing) at June 30, 1995. The decrease in net sales by Odd's-N-End's for the 
quarter ended June 30, 1996 was due to heavy promotional sales last year due 
to the grand reopening promotion in May 1995.  Despite the decrease in net 
sales by Odd's-N-End's in the second quarter of 1996, net sales for the first 
six months of 1996 increased primarily due to increased comparable store 
sales during the first quarter of 1996.  Net sales for Asset-Based Services were
$179,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

GROSS MARGINS

Gross margins for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 
increased by $905,000 or 15.5% and $1,255,000 or 11.2%, respectively, from 
the corresponding periods of 1995.  Gross margins in the wholesale business 
decreased primarily as a result of decreased sales.  Wholesale gross margins 
were 21.2% and 21.3% of sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 
1996, respectively, compared to 21.2% and 21.9% for the corresponding periods 
of 1995.  Gross margins for Only Deals increased due to increased sales.  
Gross margins for Only Deals decreased as a percent of sales from 45.0% and 
44.9% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 to 44.0% and 43.3% 
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, primarily 
due to increased markdowns and reduced margins resulting from changes in 
product mix. Gross margins for Odd's-N-End's decreased during the second 
quarter of 1996 due to decreased sales.  Gross margins for the second quarter 
of 1996 increased slightly as a percent of sales from 44.2% to 44.9%.  Gross 
margins as a percent of sales decreased to 43.1% for the first six months of 
1996 compared to 46.8% for the same period of the prior year primarily due to 
higher than planned markdowns of seasonal merchandise during the first 
quarter of 1996 and reduced margins resulting from changes in product mix.  
The Company expects margins to improve in both retail chains during the 
second half of 1996.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter and six months 
ended June 30, 1996 increased by $1,867,000 or 30.8% and $3,363,000 or 28.5%, 
respectively, from the corresponding periods of 1995.  This increase 
primarily resulted from the significant increase in retail operations, which 
incur much higher operating costs than wholesale operations.  The increase in 
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales in the 
wholesale business from 24.2% to 27.3% for the first six months 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 54.0% to 57.6% for the 
first six months of 1996 was primarily due to pre-opening expenses incurred 
by the nine new stores opened during the first six months of 1996 in addition 
to increased infrastructure costs incurred to support the growth of the 
retail business. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a 
percent of sales for Odd's-N-End's from 42.3% to 45.0% for the first six 
months of 1996 as compared to the same period last year.  Selling, general 
and administrative expenses for Asset-Based Services for the quarter ended 
June 30, 1996 were $185,000.

INTEREST

Interest expense increased to $273,000 in the second quarter and $485,000 in 
the first six months of 1996 compared to $155,000 in the second quarter and 
$260,000 in the first six 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 $1.4 million during the second quarter of 
1996 compared to a net loss of $244,000 during the second quarter of 1995.  
The Company incurred a net loss of $2.7 million during the first six months 
of 1996 as compared to a net loss of $556,000 during the first six months of 
1995.  The net loss in the second quarter and first six months of 1996 was 
primarily the result of increased selling, general and administrative 
expenses due to costs incurred to build the infrastructure necessary to 
implement the significant increase in retail operations; lower wholesale net 
sales; seasonally typical lower net sales in the retail business; and lower 
retail gross margins due to higher than planned markdowns.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1996, the Company had available a $16 million revolving line of 
credit expiring in January 1998.  In July 1996, the agreement was amended to 
increase the maximum loan amount to $18 million through December 31, 1996, at 
which time the maximum loan amount is reduced to $16 million.  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 June 30, 1996, based on the borrowing base, was $16 
million, of which there were outstanding borrowings of $11.3 million and 
outstanding letters of credit of $1.3 million.  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 million and limit the amount of annual capital 
expenditures to $4 million in 1996.  Prior to amendment, the agreement 
limited the amount of advances to Odd's-N-End's to $3.5 million during 1996.  
As of May 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996, the Company was in violation of this 
covenant.  In connection with the amendment, the lender waived this violation 
and increased the limitation on advances to $5 million.


                                     10

<PAGE>

Net cash used by operating activities was $7.1 million for the six months 
ended June 30, 1996 principally due to a $2.7 million net loss, a $1.5 
million increase in accounts receivable, a $5.4 million increase in 
inventories, offset by a $2.7 million increase in accounts payable.  Capital 
expenditures of $1.9 million, payments of long-term debt totaling $0.4 
million, and the $7.1 million net cash used by operating activities were 
funded primarily by a $9.0 million increase in borrowings under the revolving 
credit facility.

The Company is expanding the Only Deals chain by opening from 20 to 25 new 
stores in 1996, of which nine stores were opened as of June 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 intends to fund operations and the Only 
Deals expansion during the remainder of 1996 through a combination of 
internally generated cash flow and additional borrowings under its present 
line of credit.
