                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.     Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
       The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts
have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and the asset impairment
charges and lease termination costs disclosed in Note 5) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Due to the seasonal nature of the
Company's sales, operating results for the interim period are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February
3, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2000.


2.     Use of Estimates
       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


3.     Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
       Earnings (loss) per share is calculated following Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 128 Earnings per Share. Statement 128 requires
companies to present basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per
share excludes any dilutive effect of outstanding stock options whereas diluted
earnings per share includes the effect of such items. There is no difference
between basic and diluted earnings per share for the current period because the
effect of the Company's common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive.


4.     Recent Accounting Pronouncements
       In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements", which effectively changes previous guidance related to revenue
recognition and the recording of license business revenues for retail companies.
As of the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2000, the Company changed its method of
recording licensed shoe department sales. This change reduces reported sales and
reported expenses, but has no impact on operating or net income. Net licensed
shoe department sales were $336,000 and $411,600 in the thirteen weeks ended
October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999 respectively, and $1,230,000 and
$1,305,300 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999,
respectively. Prior year sales have been reduced by $1,876,200 for the thirteen
weeks ended October 30, 1999 and $6,030,600 for the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 30, 1999 with a corresponding reduction in cost of sales. The Company
will adopt the remaining provisions of SAB 101 as of the fiscal quarter ended
February 3, 2001. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the
impact that SAB 101 will have on its consolidated financial position and results
of operations.

       In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement will be adopted
effective February 4, 2001, but it is not expected to materially impact the
Company's financial statements.

5.     Store Closings
       During the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2000, the Company recorded a
charge to operations of approximately $4.0 million relating to the announced
closing of three underperforming store locations. The Company recognized
$1,990,500 in fixed asset write-offs and $1,997,100 in lease termination costs
related to the closing of these three underperforming store locations. The
closing of the Manhasset, New York store was completed in fiscal June 2000, and
the closing of the Norwalk, CT store was completed in fiscal November 2000. The
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA location is expected to close in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company has included $1,997,100 in accrued expenses
and other current liabilities related to the lease termination costs. The
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA and the Norwalk, CT stores generated sales of
$2.3 million and $1.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 28,2000 and
October 30, 1999, respectively, and $6.5 million and $5.6 million in the
thirty-nine weeks ended October 28,2000 and October 30, 1999, respectively. The
Manhasset, NY store generated sales of $1.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended
October 30, 1999, and $3.1 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30,
1999.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 28, 2000 AND OCTOBER 30, 1999:
-----------------------------------------------------------
NET SALES. Net sales decreased $1,987,500 or 4.9% in the third quarter of fiscal
2000 compared to the year ago period. Comparative store sales decreased 6.3%.
The decrease in net sales was a result of the decline in foot traffic the
Company has experienced. There were 28 and 29 superstores in operation at
October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999, respectively.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 40.0% for
the third quarter of 2000 compared to 39.6% for the third quarter of 1999. The
increase in the gross profit percentage was a result of the Company's strategy
of higher initial mark-ups on its inventory purchases.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased $1,111,800 or 6.1% in the third quarter of
fiscal 2000, and decreased as a percentage of sales to 44.4% from 45.0% in the
third quarter of fiscal 1999. The dollar decrease was primarily due to a
reduction in advertising expenses of $895,100.


INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME, NET. Interest expense, interest income and
other expense, net increased by $306,600 for the third quarter of fiscal 2000.
The increase in interest expense was attributable to the increased amount of
average borrowings outstanding ($22,368,200 in the third quarter of fiscal 2000
versus $18,505,700 in the third quarter of fiscal 1999) due to the decline in
sales revenues as discussed above, as well as the increase in the interest rate
charged (10.25% as of October 28,2000 versus 8.25% as of October 30, 1999) under
the Company's Amended Loan and Security Agreement with Mellon Bank. As a result
of revolving credit borrowings, the Company recorded interest expense of
$671,000 during the quarter ended October 28, 2000.


THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 28, 2000 AND OCTOBER 30, 1999:
--------------------------------------------------------------
NET SALES. Net sales decreased $7,546,700 or 5.9% for the first nine months of
fiscal 2000 compared to the year ago period. Comparative store sales decreased
9.4%. The decrease in net sales was a result of the decline in foot traffic the
Company experienced. There were 28 and 29 superstores in operation at October
28, 2000 and October 30, 1999, respectively.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 38.4% for
the first nine months of 2000 compared to 37.8% for the first nine months of
1999. The increase in gross profit percentage was a result of the Company's
strategy of higher initial mark-ups on its inventory purchases.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $2,163,900 or 4.1% in the first nine months of
fiscal 2000, and increased as a percentage of sales to 45.1% from 40.8% in the
third quarter of fiscal 1999. The dollar increase was due to the charge taken in
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 related to the announced planned closing of
three underperforming store locations (two of which have been completed as of
November, 2000). The Company recognized $1,990,500 in fixed asset write-offs and
$1,997,100 in lease termination costs related to the fiscal 2000 store closings
as discussed below. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in
advertising expenses of $1,824,300.

INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME, NET. Interest expense, interest income and
other expense, net increased by $1,003,600 from the first nine months of fiscal
1999. The increase in interest expense is attributable the increased amount of
average borrowings outstanding ($22,727,200 for the nine month period ended
October 28, 2000 versus $15,118,900 for the nine month period ended October 30,
1999) due to the decline in sales revenues as discussed above, as well as the
increase in the interest rate charged (10.25% as of October 28, 2000 versus
8.25% as of October 30, 1999) under the

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Company's Amended Loan and Security Agreement with Mellon Bank. As a result of
revolving credit borrowings, the Company recorded interest expense of $1,902,700
during the nine month period ended October 28, 2000.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

       The Company's primary sources of working capital are cash flow from
operations and borrowings under the revolving credit facility. At October 28,
2000, the Company had working capital of $26,482,200 as compared with
$29,714,300 at January 29, 2000.

       In December 1998, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement
with Mellon Bank, N.A., ("Mellon"). Proceeds from this loan were used to
refinance the Company's previous revolving credit facility and term loan from
Foothill Capital Corporation. The agreement, as amended, provides for a $35.0
million revolving credit facility (which reduces to $30.0 million on November
30, 2000) with a $15.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. The facility
bears interest at 0.75% per annum above Mellon Bank's prime rate (prime was
9.50% at October 28, 2000) and expires on March 15, 2002. Availability under the
revolver is determined by a formula based on inventory and credit card
receivables, less applicable reserves. The amended agreement provides for an
over-advance facility of $4.5 million above the calculated borrowing base, which
is reduced to $4.0 million on October 16, 2000 and $2.75 million on November 16,
2000 and expires on December 15, 2000. The agreement contains financial
covenants including tangible net worth, indebtedness to tangible net worth,
maximum net loss per month and limitations on new store openings and capital
expenditures as well as restrictions on the payment of dividends. The Company
granted Mellon a lien on its tangible and intangible assets to secure this
facility. Additionally, Mr. David Feld, Chairman of the Board, has provided
additional collateral to secure the credit facility. The agreement also provides
that the Company must pay a termination fee of $1,050,000 if the facility is
terminated on or before March 14, 2002.

       On November 14, 2000, the Company and Mellon bank entered into Amendment
No. 7 to the revolving credit facility. The agreement amends the credit facility
to extend the expiration date of the over-advance facility of $4,500,000 from
October 15, 2000 to November 30, 2000. The over-advance is reduced to $4,250,000
on December 1, 2000, $3,500,000 on December 8, 2000, $3,000,000 on December 15,
2000, $1,500,000 on December 22, 2000 and expires on December 29, 2000. The
outstanding revolving credit facility usage (including permitted out-of-formula
advances) may not exceed $35,000,000 at any time through November 29, 2000 or
$30,000,000 at any time after November 29, 2000.

         The Company announced on March 15, 2000 that it had engaged Wasserstein
Perella & Co., Inc., an investment-banking firm, to enhance the Company's
shareholder value. This may take the form of an equity investment in the Company
or debt.

     In April 2000, the Company decided to close three under-performing stores,
including one store located in a building owned by Mr. David Feld, Chairman of
the Board. The planned closing of the three stores resulted in a charge to
operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 of $4.0 million consisting of
$1,990,500 for the write-off of furniture and fixtures and $1,997,100 for lease
termination costs. The lease termination costs are expected to be incurred
ratably from the date of the store closings through the end of the anticipated
lease terms estimated to be approximately 18 months. The Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia, PA and the Norwalk, CT stores generated sales of $2.3 million and
$1.7 million and cost of sales of $1.3 million and $1.1 million in the quarters
ended October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999,

<PAGE>
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


respectively. The three stores, which generated sales of $12,590,000 and cost of
sales of $8,156,000 in fiscal 1999, are expected to be closed by the end of
January, 2001. The closing of the Manhasset, New York store was completed in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 and the closing of the Norwalk, Connecticut store
was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The closing of the
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania store is expected to be completed in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2000. The estimated lease termination costs may increase if a
sub-lessor is not obtained within 18 months of the store closings. Also, the
Company may incur additional costs related to the store closings, such as
employee termination costs; however, these amounts are not determinable at this
time.

     The Company has been substantially dependent upon borrowings under its
credit facility to finance its operations and received an amended credit
facility from Mellon, which allows the Company additional liquidity through an
over-advance facility through December 29, 2000 as discussed above.
Additionally, the Company is in the process of implementing a plan to reverse
the trend of losses noted above. Management's plans implemented thus far, as
well as actions initiated that will continue into fiscal 2001, include the
execution of the amended credit facility, a layoff of non-operating personnel in
January 2000, the reduction in advertising spending and the focus on the
Company's traditional advertising approach, and the announcement of the closing
of three under-performing stores in May 2000.

     Management believes the Company's cash requirements in 2000 will be
generated by operations and borrowings on the Company's credit facility.
Management also believes that the actions initiated and its 2000 plans will
result in the successful funding of its working capital and cash requirements
while enabling the Company to meet its financial covenants under the credit
facility.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Company is a retail company doing business within the United States.
Its primary market risk is exposure to interest rates fluctuations on its debt
instruments. The Company's bank revolving credit facility bears interest at
variable rates. The variable interest rate is the rate in effect at the quarter
ended October 28, 2000, and it fluctuates with the lending bank's prime rate.
The change in interest expense of the Company's bank revolving credit facility
resulting from a hypothetical 2% increase in interest rates would not be
material.
