              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    Unaudited

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial  statements  contain all  adjustments  necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the periods presented.  Certain  information and disclosures  normally
included in notes to  consolidated  financial  statements have been condensed or
omitted  according to the rules and  regulations  of the Securities and Exchange
Commission,  although the Company  believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.

It is suggested that these financial  statements be read in conjunction with the
financial  statements and financial notes thereto included in the Company's 1999
Annual Report.

Note 2 - Long-Term Debt

At the  beginning  of 1999,  the Company  had an  unsecured  $35 million  credit
agreement  (the "Credit  Agreement")  with a bank group.  On April 16, 1999, the
Credit  Agreement  was  amended to  increase  the total  credit  facility to $45
million.  Borrowings are based on eligible  inventory and bear interest,  at the
Company's  option,  at the agent bank's prime rate minus 0.5% or the  applicable
London  Inter-Bank  Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus from 0.75% to 2%, depending on the
Company's  achievement  of certain  performance  criteria.  A commitment  fee is
charged, at the Company's option, at 0.3% per annum on the unused portion of the
bank group's  commitment or 0.15% per annum of the total commitment.  The Credit
Agreement contains various  restrictive and financial  covenants,  including the
maintenance  of specific  financial  ratios and a  limitation  on the payment of
dividends.

On March 24, 2000, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the total credit
facility to $55 million and to extend the maturity date to March 31, 2002.

Net Sales

Net sales increased $17.3 million to $95.4 million in the first quarter of 2000,
a 22.1%  increase over net sales of $78.1 million in the  comparable  prior year
period.  The increase was attributable to a 1.4% comparable store sales increase
and the sales generated by the 33 new stores opened in 1999 and 2000 (net of one
store  closed).  Footwear unit sales in comparable  stores  increased 3.3% while
average footwear unit prices decreased 2.1% for the quarter.

Gross Profit

Gross profit  increased  $3.3 million to $28.2  million in the first  quarter of
2000,  a 13.4%  increase  over gross profit of $24.9  million in the  comparable
prior year period.  The Company's  gross profit  margin  decreased to 29.6% from
31.8%. As a percentage of sales,  the merchandise  gross profit margin decreased
1.5% and buying, distribution and occupancy costs increased .7%.

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

Sales of high-margin  seasonal  product,  primarily  sandals and opened-up dress
shoes, were below expectations for the quarter.  This weakness in sales resulted
in a decrease in the merchandise  gross profit margin due to a more  promotional
environment  as markdowns of the seasonal  product were  accelerated in order to
manage inventory levels.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased $3.9 million to $21.9
million in the first quarter of 2000 from $18.0 million in the comparable  prior
year period.  As a percentage of sales,  these  expenses were unchanged from the
prior year at 23.0%.  Total  pre-opening  costs for the six stores opened in the
first quarter of 2000 were $451,000 or 0.5% of sales, as compared to $267,000 or
0.3% of sales, for the three stores opened in the first quarter of 1999.

Interest Expense

The  increase in net interest  expense to $579,000 in the first  quarter of 2000
from $150,000 in the first quarter of 1999 resulted from increased borrowings.

Income Taxes

The effective  income tax rate of 39.5% and 40% in the first quarter of 2000 and
1999,  respectively,  differed from the statutory federal rates due primarily to
state and local income taxes, net of the federal tax benefit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company's  primary  sources  of funds are cash flows  from  operations  and
borrowings  under its  revolving  credit  facility.  Net cash used in  operating
activities  was $3.5  million  during the first  quarter of 2000.  The  decrease
resulted  primarily from an increase in  inventories  and a decrease in accounts
payable and  accrued  liabilities.  Excluding  changes in  operating  assets and
liabilities, cash provided by operating activities was $6.0 million in the first
quarter of 2000.  The increase in merchandise  inventories  was primarily due to
seasonal  fluctuations  and the  addition of six stores in the first  quarter of
2000.

Working capital  increased to $78.8 million at April 29, 2000 from $68.3 million
at January 29, 2000 and the current ratio was 3.0 to 1 as compared with 2.7 to 1
at January 29, 2000.  Long-term  debt as a percentage of total capital was 24.5%
at April 29, 2000 and 19.3% at January 29, 2000. The increase in working capital
and  long-term  debt as a percent of total capital was primarily due to seasonal
fluctuations.

Capital  expenditures,  net of lease incentives,  were $4.0 million in the first
quarter of 2000. Of these expenditures, $2.4 million was incurred for new stores
and $800,000 was incurred for the  remodeling of certain  stores.  The remaining
capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2000 were primarily for merchandise
display and signage enhancements and improvements to computer systems.

The Company intends to open  approximately 30 stores in 2000,  including the six
stores  opened in the first  quarter.  Eight stores are expected to be opened in
the second  quarter.  The remaining  store openings will occur  primarily in the
third quarter with certain  stores  opening early in the fourth  quarter.  Three
stores were opened in the first quarter of 1999.

The actual amount of the Company's cash  requirements  for capital  expenditures
depends  in part on the  number  of new  stores  opened,  the  amount  of  lease
incentives, if any, received from landlords and the number of stores

remodeled. The opening of new stores will be dependent upon, among other things,
the  availability of desirable  locations,  the negotiation of acceptable  lease
terms and general economic and business  conditions  affecting consumer spending
in areas the Company targets for expansion.

The Company's  current store prototype  utilizes between 8,000 and 15,000 square
feet  depending  upon,  among other  factors,  the location of the store and the
population base the store is expected to service. Capital expenditures for a new
store are expected to average approximately  $350,000,  including  point-of-sale
equipment which is generally  acquired through equipment  leasing  transactions.
The  average  inventory  investment  in a new store is  expected  to range  from
$450,000 to $750,000,  depending on the size and sales  expectation of the store
and  the  timing  of the  new  store  opening.  Pre-opening  expenses,  such  as
advertising,   salaries,   supplies  and  utilities,  are  expected  to  average
approximately $80,000 per store.

On  January  7,  2000,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  authorized  a share
repurchase  program that will allow the Company to purchase up to $10 million of
the outstanding  common stock. As of January 29, 2000, the Company had purchased
291,900 shares at an  approximate  cost of $2.4 million.  An additional  123,100
shares were purchased during the first quarter at a cost of $1.1 million.  Share
repurchases  will  continue  as  market  conditions  allow and will be funded by
borrowings  under the line of credit.  The  treasury  shares may be  reissued in
connection  with  possible  future  stock  offerings,   dividends,  stock  based
compensation programs and other general corporate uses.

The Company's  credit facility  provides for a combination of cash advances on a
revolving  basis and the issuance of  commercial  letters of credit.  Borrowings
under the revolving credit line are based on eligible inventory.  Borrowings and
letters of credit  outstanding  under this facility at April 29, 2000 were $30.0
million and $4.1 million,  respectively. On March 24, 2000, the credit agreement
was  amended to  increase  the  facility  by $10  million to allow for up to $55
million in cash advances and commercial letters of credit. The maturity date was
also extended to March 31, 2002.

The Company  anticipates  that its existing cash and cash flow from  operations,
supplemented by borrowings  under the credit facility will be sufficient to fund
its planned  expansion and other  operating cash  requirements  for at least the
next 12 months.

Seasonality

The Company's quarterly results of operations have fluctuated,  and are expected
to  continue  to  fluctuate  in the  future  primarily  as a result of  seasonal
variances and the timing of sales and costs  associated with opening new stores.
Non-capital  expenditures,  such as advertising  and payroll,  incurred prior to
opening  of a new store are  charged  to expense  as  incurred.  Therefore,  the
Company's  results of  operations  may be  adversely  affected in any quarter in
which the  Company  incurs  pre-opening  expenses  related to the opening of new
stores.

The Company has three  distinct  selling  periods:  Easter,  back-to-school  and
Christmas.
