     The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Commission.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles

consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of
results for the interim period have been made.

     It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in

                         NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.  For a summary of significant accounting policies and other information which
    relates to these interim statements, reference should be made to the notes
    to financial statements included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to
    Shareholders.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and the
          --------------------------------------------------------------------
          Results of Operations.
          ----------------------

     The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial
statements and related note thereto provided under Item 1 above.

     Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30,
1998.  Sales increased 8.0%, $32.1 million to $34.7 million for the same quarter
last year in part due to the opening of one new store in Long Beach during June
1999.  However, comparable store sales are also up 2.5% despite the absence of
"El Nino" weather conditions that favorably impacted the first quarter of last
year's sales.

     Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 30.2% compared to 29.7% for
the same period last year, reflecting continued strong consumer demand and
improvements to inventory procurement practices.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales
increased from 26.7% to 27.2% primarily due to new store pre-opening costs as
well as increased advertising expenses.

     Interest income increased to $85,000 from $27,000 as a result of higher
average cash balances compared to balances during the three months ended June
30, 1998.

     The effective income tax rate is 39.8% compared to 40.8% for the same
period last year, which differs from the statutory rate as a result of permanent
differences between financial reporting and tax-basis income.

     Net income increased from $571,000 or $.09 per diluted share to $658,000 or
$.10 per diluted share due to increased sales and higher gross profit margins.

     The Company's business is seasonal in nature and historically its highest
sales level and operating profitability occur during the winter months of
November, December and January, which overlap the third and fourth fiscal
quarters, and Management therefore believes that the operating results for the
first quarter may not necessarily be indicative of the Company's overall
operating results for the fiscal year.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's primary capital requirements are for inventory and store
expansion, relocation and remodeling.  Historically, cash from operations,
credit terms from vendors and bank borrowing have met the Company's liquidity
needs.  Management believes that these sources will be sufficient to fund
currently anticipated cash requirements for the next 2 to 3 fiscal years.

     Net cash used in operating activities is $4.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 compared to net cash provided of $69,000 for the same period
ended June 30, 1998.  Net income provided $658,000 and $571,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Depreciation also provided
$859,000 and $777,000 of non-cash for the same periods.

                                       8
<PAGE>

     Inventories increased by $6.6 million and $2.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, due to the seasonal build-up of
summer inventory and the opening of one new store in each quarter ended June 30,
1999 and 1998 and an additional store opening in July 1999.  Accounts payable
increased by $2.8 million and $1.2 million for the related quarters due
primarily to inventory build-up and the timing of payments to vendors.

     Net cash used in investing activities is $1.8 million and $1.9 million for
the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, primarily due to the
opening of one new store in each period and one store additional store opened in
July 1999.  For the quarter ended June 30, 1999 other assets provided $49,000 of
cash compared to using $644,000 in the same quarter last year primarily from the
loans made to certain employees pursuant to the March 31, 1998 stock award.

     Net cash provided by financing activities has historically reflected
advances or pay down of the Company's revolving credit line.  There were no
borrowings during either quarter ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

Year 2000

     The Year 2000 issue exists because many computer applications currently use
two-digit date fields to designate a year.  As the century date occurs, time-
sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
the year 2000.  This could result in the computer shutting down or performing
incorrect computations, thereby possibly leading to disruptions in normal
business processing.

     The Company has conducted a review to identify which systems, both internal
and external, will be affected by the "Year 2000" problem, and has developed a
project plan and schedule designed to correct those issues and systems under its
control.

     The majority of the Company's business processing applications operate on a
mainframe computer system.  Management believes that the mainframe hardware and
operating system are now Year 2000 compliant, all programs and data have been
appropriately modified and testing is complete.  The Company's point of sale,
payroll and phone systems also are believed by Management to currently be Year
2000 compliant.

     The Company has completed substantially all of its Year 2000-conversion
project using internal staff spending approximately $200,000 in this effort. The
Company believes that the cost associated with becoming Year 2000 compliant has
not and is not expected to materially affect its future operating results or
financial condition.

     While Management currently believes that it has completed its Year 2000
conversion project, failure to achieve Year 2000 compliance could have a
material adverse impact on the Company's operations.  Management believes the
most reasonably likely worst case scenario is where the Company would be unable
to collect payments from customers through its point-of-sale systems, receive
merchandise from vendors or ship merchandise to its own stores.

     In addition, there can be no assurance that the systems of other companies
with which the Company does business will also be converted in a timely manner
or that failure to convert by other companies would not have a material impact
on the Company's operations. While the

                                       9
<PAGE>

Company did not formally survey its vendors, Management believes that because
the Company purchases merchandise from over 1200 vendors, none of which
historically supplies more than 9% of the Company's annual purchases, and based
on a limited review of vendor disclosure materials, no material disruptions to
the Company's operations due to the Year 2000 issues related to third parties
are anticipated. However, Management believes that the most reasonably likely
worst case scenario regarding third parties would be lost sales due to a
significant number of the Company's vendors having difficulties shipping
merchandise or the Company's inability to accept customer payments because of
problems with the bank or credit card processor. The Company continues to
evaluate the scope of its contingency plans to establish alternate sources for
merchandise and services.
