                  365 West Passaic Street
                  Rochelle Park, NJ  07662

                  (c) The present principal occupation or employment of each of
                  the reporting persons is employee of the Issuer. The Issuer
                  operates a chain of retail specialty stores selling large size

ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

                  On February 13, 1998, Raphael Benaroya and George R. Remeta
                  purchased Shares from the Company upon the exercise of
                  options under the Company's Restated 1989 Performance Option
                  Plan. Mr. Benaroya purchased 777,925 Shares. Mr. Remeta
                  purchased 116,888 Shares. The Compensation Committee of the
                  Board of Directors of the Company unanimously waived payment
                  of the exercise price in cash. Instead, the Committee
                  permitted payment to be made by reducing the number of Shares
                  otherewise issuable upon exercise of the option (937,500
                  Shares to Mr. Benaroya and 140,625 Shares to Mr. Remeta) by
                  the number of Shares having a fair market value on the date
                  of exercise equal to the gross exercise price ($937,500 for
                  Mr. Benaroya and $140,625 for Mr. Remeta). The options
                  exercised were nonqualified stock options under the   
                  Internal Revenue Code.
        
                  During the period from February 5, 1997 to February 13, 1998,
                  certain other employee stock options became vested in, and
                  exercisable by each reporting person. The total number of
                  vested options held by each reporting person is set forth in
                  the table under ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                  to or would result in:

                  (b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
                  reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of

                  Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
<PAGE>   9
                  (d) Any change in the present board of directors or management
                  of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the
                  number or term of directors;

                  (e) Any material change in the present capitalization or
                  dividend policy of the Issuer;

                  (f) Any other material change in the Issuer's business or
                  corporate structure;

                  (g) Changes in the Issuer's certificate of incorporation or
                  bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of
                  control of the Issuer by any person;

                  (h) Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to cease to be

                  (i) A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming
                  eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section
                  12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act (the "Act"); or

                  (j)  Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

                  (a) The aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by each
                  reporting person, identifying Shares which there is a right to
                  acquire upon exercise of vested employee stock options, and

                  (b) the persons named in the preceding subsection, together
                  with the Issuer and Centre Capital Investors L.P. ("CCI"), are
                  parties to the Restated Stockholders' Agreement, dated
                  December 23, 1992 (as amended the "Restated Stockholders'
                  Agreement"). The Restated Stockholders' Agreement provides,
                  among other things, that the parties other than the Issuer and
                  CCI shall take such action, including the voting of Shares, as
                  may be necessary to cause the Board to be elected in the
                  following manner:

                  (i) the Board shall consist of nine members, of whom two are
                  persons ("Management Directors") nominated by the Chairman of
                  the Board, two are persons ("LDA Directors") nominated by
                  Limited Direct Associates, L.P. ("LDA") and five are persons
                  ("Public Directors") who are not affiliates of (w) Mr. 
                  Benaroya, (x) certain executives of the Issuer or (y) 
                  Mr. Benaroya's or such executives' Permitted Transferees 
                  under the Restated Stockholders' Agreement (collectively, 
                  "Management Investors") or (z) LDA, named by the Nominating 
                  Committee and approved by the Board;

                  (ii) if the holdings of the Management Investors increase to
                  at least 3,010,000 Shares, the Chairman of the Board shall be
                  entitled to nominate one additional Management Director, for a
                  total Board membership of 10, for so long as he and his family
                  continue to hold at least 500,000 Shares, he remains Chairman
                  of the Board and the Management Investors continue to hold at
                  least 2,010,000 Shares, provided, that in the event the number
                  of Shares held by the Chairman (and his family) and the
                  Management Investors falls below 500,000 Shares and 2,010,000
                  Shares, respectively, the Chairman shall thereafter nominate
                  two persons, rather than three persons, for election as
                  Directors;

                  (iii) in the event of Mr. Benaroya's termination as Chairman
                  of the Board under any circumstances, (x) he shall be entitled
                  to nominate one Director so long as he and his family continue
                  to hold at least 100,000 Shares, (y) one other person, who
                  would otherwise have been nominated by him as a Director,
                  shall be named instead by the Nominating Committee and
                  approved by the Board and (z) if the Board then has 10
                  members, the Board membership shall be decreased to nine;

                  (iv) the right of LDA to nominate shall be reduced to one
                  Director (but the membership of the Board shall not decrease)
                  if its holding of Shares falls below 
<PAGE>   11
                  500,000 Shares but remains above 100,000 Shares and one
                  person, who would otherwise have been nominated by it as a
                  Director, shall be named instead by the Nominating Committee
                  and approved by the Board of Directors; and

                  (v) the rights of Mr. Benaroya and LDA to nominate Directors
                  shall expire if their stockholdings fall below 100,000 Shares
                  and, in the case of Mr. Benaroya, he no longer serves as
                  Chairman of the Board; in which case the Director who would
                  otherwise be nominated by such party shall be named instead by
                  the Nominating Committee and approved by the Board.

                  The Restated Stockholders' Agreement provides that the parties
                  other than the Issuer and CCI shall act together in connection
                  with the election of the Board, the removal of directors and
                  certain amendments to the by-laws of the Issuer. Accordingly,
                  the stockholders of the Issuer who are parties to the Restated
                  Stockholders' Agreement might be deemed to share voting power
                  with respect to all the Shares beneficially owned by them.

                  The voting arrangement under the Restated Stockholders'
                  Agreement described above expires on July 17, 1999.

                  Except for the provisions of the Restated Stockholders'
                  Agreement, each of the reporting persons has the power,
                  either solely or jointly with a spouse, to vote the Shares he
                  owns and believes that the other stockholders of the Issuer
                  who are parties to the Restated Stockholders' Agreement have
                  the power, either solely or jointly with a spouse,  to vote
                  the Shares they own.

                  The Restated Stockholders' Agreement contains certain
                  restrictions on transfers of Shares held by the stockholders
                  of the Issuer who are parties to the Restated Stockholders'
                  Agreement but it unconditionally permits sales on the NASDAQ
                  National Market System and donations to charity. Accordingly,
                  the stockholders of the Issuer who are parties to the
                  Restated Stockholders' Agreement might be deemed to share the
                  power to dispose of all the Shares beneficially owned by
                  them. Except for the provisions of the Restated Stockholders'
                  Agreement, each of the reporting persons has the power,
                  either solely or jointly with a spouse,  to dispose of the
                  Shares he owns and he believes that the other stockholders of
                  the Issuer who are parties to the Restated Stockholders'
                  Agreement have the power, either solely or jointly with a
                  spouse, to dispose of the Shares they own.

                  Each of the reporting persons disclaims beneficial ownership
                  of the Shares held by all the other parties to the Restated
                  Stockholders' Agreement.

                  In addition to the reporting persons, CCI and the Issuer, the
                  current parties to the Restated Stockholders' Agreement are:

                  Mr. Greenberg is retired and is a citizen of the United
                  States.

                  LDA is a Delaware limited partnership. The reporting persons

                  Street, San Diego, CA 07016. He is a citizen of the United
                  States.

                  The reporting persons have no reason to believe that Mr.
                  Greenberg, LDA, Ms. Lutz or Mr. Silverman during the last five
                  years has either been convicted in a criminal proceeding or
                  was a party to a civil proceeding before a judicial or
                  administrative body and as a result of such proceeding was or
                  is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
                  future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
                  subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
                  violation with respect to such laws.

                  (c) None of the reporting persons effected any transaction
                  involving Shares during the last 60 days except as stated
                  under ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR, OTHER 
                  CONSIDERATION.

                  LDA has advised the Issuer that it is the beneficial owner of
                  2,600,000 Shares. It is the holder of record of 2,800,000
                  Shares.

                  (d) No other person has the right to receive or the power to
                  direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the
                  sale of, Shares owned by the reporting persons.
