                   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.
For 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 $446,800 and $417,000 in the thirteen weeks ended
July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999 respectively, and $894,000 and $894,000 in the
twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. Prior year
sales have been reduced by $2,047,600 for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 1999
and $4,154,400 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 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.

5.     Store Closings
       During the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2000, the Company recorded a

2000. The closing of the Manhasset, New York store was completed during this
quarter. The Company has included $1,997,100 in accrued expenses and other
current liabilities related to the lease termination costs. The three stores
generated sales of $3.3 million and $3.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended
July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively, and $6.0 million and $6.2 million
in the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively.

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JULY 29, 2000 AND JULY 31, 1999:
-----------------------------------------------------
         NET SALES. Net sales decreased $3,853,400 or 8.5% in the second quarter
of fiscal 2000 compared to the year ago period. Comparative store sales
decreased 12.2%. The decrease in net sales is a result of decline in foot
traffic the Company has experienced. There were 28 and 29 superstores in
operation at July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. The Manhasset, New
York store was closed in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

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


         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to
36.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to 36.0% for second quarter
of fiscal 1999. The increase in gross profit percentage is a result of the
Company's strategy of higher initial mark-ups to accommodate pre-planned
markdowns on various point of sale events.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased $556,700 or 3.2% in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000, and increased as a percentage of sales to 40.9% from 38.7% in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999. This dollar decrease is primarily attributable to
a reduction in advertising expenses of $540,000.

         INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME, NET. Interest expense, interest
income and other expense, net increased by $338,100 from the second quarter of
fiscal 1999. The increase in interest expense was attributable to the increased
amount of average borrowings incurred ($21,545,800 in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 versus $13,225,900 in the second 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 July 29, 2000 versus 8.0% as of July 31,
1999) as per the Company's amended Loan and Security Agreement with Mellon Bank.
As a result of revolving credit borrowings, the Company recorded interest
expense of $626,000 during the quarter ended July 29, 2000


TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 29, 2000 AND JULY 31, 1999:
-------------------------------------------------------
         NET SALES. Net sales decreased $5,559,200 or 6.3% for the first six
months of fiscal 2000 compared to the year ago period. Comparative store sales
decreased 10.7%. The decrease in net sales is a result of the decline in foot
traffic the Company has experienced. There were 28 and 29 superstores in
operation at July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. The Manhasset, New
York store was closed in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to
37.7% for the first six months of 2000 compared to 36.9% for the first six
months 1999. The increase in the gross profit percentage is a result of the
Company's strategy of higher initial mark-ups to accommodate pre-planned
markdowns on various point of sale events.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $3,275,700 or 9.6% in the first six months of
fiscal 2000, and increased as a percentage of sales to 45.4% from 38.9% in the
comparable period 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 (one of which was completed in
the second quarter of fiscal 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.

         INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME, NET. Interest expense, interest
income and other expense, net increased by $697,000 from the first six months of
fiscal 1999. The increase in interest expense is attributable to the increased
amount of average borrowings incurred ($22,905,400 for the six month period
ended July 29, 2000 versus $13,438,800 for the six month period ended July 31,
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 July 29, 2000 versus 8.0% as
of July 31, 1999) as per the Company's Amended Loan and Security Agreement with
Mellon Bank. As a result of revolving credit borrowings, the Company recorded
interest expense of $1,231,700 during the six month period ended July 29, 2000.

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

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 July 29, 2000,
the Company had working capital of $24,997,500 as compared with $29,714,300 at
January 29, 2000.

         On December 4, 1998, the Company entered into a Loan and Security
Agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A., ("Mellon") individually and as agent. The Loan
and Security Agreement provided for a $45.0 million revolving credit facility
with a $20.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. The Mellon Loan and
Security Agreement contains financial covenants including tangible net worth,
indebtedness to tangible net worth and fixed charge coverage ratios, 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 revolving credit facility.
Proceeds from this loan were used to refinance the Company's previous revolving
credit facility and term loan from Foothill Capital Corporation.

         The Mellon revolving credit facility bore interest at the option of the
Company at prime (9.50% at July 29, 2000) or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from
1.75% to 3.25% depending upon the Company's EBITDA. Availability under the
revolver is determined by a formula based on inventory and credit card
receivables, less applicable reserves.

         In April 1999, the Company and Mellon amended the Loan Agreement to
allow for the inclusion of participant lenders and to modify certain other
provisions including the tangible net worth and fixed charge coverage ratio
covenants.

         During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company was projecting a
liquidity shortfall in early fiscal 2000 under its revolving credit facility. To
address the liquidity shortfall, the Company obtained a temporary over-advance
of $4.5 million above its calculated borrowing base from Mellon on February 11,
2000. In addition, the Company and Mellon agreed to recast certain financial
covenants to reflect the year-end operating results. On March 15, 2000, the
Company and Mellon entered into amendment No. 3 to the Loan and Security
Agreement. The revolving credit facility was reduced to $35.0 million with a
$15.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. Within the credit facility was an
over-advance facility of $4.5 million above the calculated borrowing base which
reduced to $3.4 million on May 16, 2000 and $2.5 million on June 16, 2000 and
expired on June 30, 2000. The revolving credit facility expires on March 15,
2002 and bears interest at 0.75% per annum above Mellon Bank's prime rate. The
amended Agreement recast all of the Company's financial covenants as of and for
the year ended January 29, 2000 and for the remaining term of the loan
agreement. The amended Agreement contains financial covenants related to
tangible net worth, indebtedness to tangible net worth, fixed charge coverage
ratios, maximum net loss per month, and limitations on new store openings and
capital expenditures as well as restrictions on the payments of dividends.
Additionally, Mr. David Feld, Chairman of the Board, agreed to provide
additional collateral to secure the credit facility. The Company was in
compliance with all covenants under the amended Agreement as of January 29,
2000. The amended Agreement also includes a termination fee of $1.0 million if
the Company terminates the facility before March 15, 2001, and $700,000 if
termination occurs from March 16, 2001 through March 14, 2002.

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


         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.

         On May 1, 2000, the Company and Mellon entered into Amendment No. 4 to
include Todaysman.com, a subsidiary of the Company, in the revolving credit
facility.

         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 three
stores generated sales of $6.0 million and $6.2 million and cost of sales of
$3.8 million and $3.9 million in the quarters ended July 29, 2000 and July 31,
1999, 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 October
2000. The closing of the Manhasset, New York store was completed in the second
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.

         On May 11, 2000, the Company and Mellon entered into Amendment No. 5 to
the revolving credit facility. The agreement amended the credit facility to
extend the over-advance facility of $2,500,000 which previously expired on June
30, 2000 to August 15, 2000. The over-advance was reduced to $2,250,000 on
August 16, 2000, $1,250,000 on September 16, 2000, $1,000,000 on October 16,
2000 and expired on November 30, 2000. Amendment No. 5 also revised certain
financial covenants to provide a waiver for the $4.0 million charge to
operations caused by the store closings discussed above. The amendment also
provided for a reduction in the credit facility from $35 million to $30 million
effective on November 30, 2000. The termination fee was also increased to
$1,050,000 if the facility is terminated on or before March 14, 2002.

         In anticipation of the results of the quarter, the Company and Mellon
Bank entered into negotiations to enhance the Company's liquidity for the fall
selling season. On August 16, 2000 the Company and Mellon entered into Amendment
No. 6 to the revolving credit facility. The agreement amends the credit facility
to increase the overadvance amount from $2,500,000 to $4,500,000 effective
August 16, 2000 and ending on October 15, 2000. The overadvance is reduced to
$4,000,000 on October 16, 2000 and $2,750,000 on November 16, 2000 and expires
on December 15, 2000. Amendment No. 6 also revises the indebtedness to tangible
net worth covenant and waives the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant.

         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 15, 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 2000, 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'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


         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 July 29, 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.
