INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Episode U.S.A., Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Episode U.S.A., Inc.
(Debtor-in-Possession) as of February 3, 1996 and January 28, 1995, and the
related statements of operations, changes in deficiency in net assets and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 3, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Private Label in
January 29, 1994 (a division of Episode U.S.A., Inc.), which statements reflect
total assets constituting 1.6 percent and total revenues constituting 17.1
percent. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose report
have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for Private Label, is based solely on the report of such auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, such
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Episode U.S.A., Inc. (Debtor-in-Possession) as of February 3, 1996
and January 28, 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended February 3, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1, the Company filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code in January 1996. The accompanying financial
statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences of the
bankruptcy proceedings. In particular, such financial statements do not purport
to show (a) as to assets, their realizable value on a liquidation basis or their
availability to satisfy liabilities; (b) as to pre-petition liabilities, the
amounts that may be allowed for claims or contingencies, or the status and
priority thereof; (c) as to stockholder accounts, the effect of any changes that
may be made in the capitalization of the Company; (d) as to operations, the
effect of any changes that may be made in its business; or (e) as to the
litigation, claims and contingencies discussed in Note 13, the amounts that may
be allowed for such matters. The eventual outcome of these matters is not
presently determinable.
<PAGE>
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed In Note 1, the bankruptcy
filing and related circumstances and the losses from operations raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
continuation of its business as a going concern is contingent upon, among other
things, future profitable operations, the ability to generate sufficient cash
from operations and financing sources to meet obligations, and the development
and confirmation of a plan or reorganization. Management's plans concerning
these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties
referred to herein and in the preceding paragraph.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FISCAL YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 3, 1996, JANUARY 28, 1995 AND JANUARY 29, 1994
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. CHAPTER 11 PROCEEDINGS AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRESENTATION
On January 26, 1996, Episode U.S.A., Inc. (the "Debtor") filed voluntary
petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the
"Filing"). During fiscal 1995, weakening economic conditions experienced
in the retailing industry and the economy in general led to a highly
competitive retail environment. The Company experienced lower than
expected sales results, a significant decrease in cash provided by
operating activities and a deterioration in the Company's liquidity.
Accordingly, on January 26, 1996, the Debtor filed petition for relief
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in order to restructure its
operations.
The Debtor is presently operating its business as a debtor-in-possession
subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The financial statements of
the Company have been presented in accordance with the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7; "Financial
Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP
90-7"); and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which principles,
except as otherwise disclosed, assume that assets will be realized and
liabilities will be discharged in the normal course of business.
In the Chapter 11 case, substantially all liabilities as of the date of
the Filing are subject to resolution under a plan of reorganization to be
voted upon by the Debtor's creditors and stockholders and confirmed by the
Bankruptcy Court. Schedules have been filed by the Debtor with the
Bankruptcy Court setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Debtor as
of the date of the Filing as shown by the Debtor's accounting records.
Differences between amounts shown by the Debtor and claims filed by
creditors will be investigated and resolved. The amount and settlement
terms for such disputed liabilities are subject to allowance by the
Bankruptcy Court. Ultimately, the adjustment of the total liabilities of
the Debtor remains subject to a Bankruptcy Court approved plan of
reorganization and, accordingly, the total amount of such liabilities is
not presently determinable. The Debtor presently has the exclusive right
to file a plan of reorganization until August 23, 1996, subject to
Bankruptcy Court approval or further extensions.
Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor may elect to assume or reject real
estate leases, employment contracts, personal property leases, service
contracts and other unexpired executory pre-petition executory contracts,
subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. Upon rejection, under Section 502 of
the Bankruptcy Code, a lessor's claim for damages resulting from the
rejection of a real property lease is limited to the rent to be received
under such lease, without acceleration, for the greater of one year, or
15%, not to exceed three years, of the remaining term of the lease
following the earlier of the date of Filings or the date on which the
property is returned to the landlord. During the Chapter 11 Case, the
Company rejected nine real estate leases which were approved by the
Bankruptcy Courts. For further information, see Note 13 to financial
statements.
The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets
and the liquidation of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of
business. The Filing, related circumstances and the losses from operations
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
- 7 -
<PAGE>
The appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon,
among other things, confirmation of a plan of reorganization, future
profitable operations, and the ability to generate sufficient cash from
operations and financing sources to meet obligations. While under the
protection of Chapter 11, the Company may sell or otherwise dispose of
assets, and liquidate or settle liabilities, for amounts other than those
reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Further, a plan of
reorganization could materially change the amounts reported in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
of the value of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of a plan or
reorganization (see Note 19 for further discussion).
2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Description of Business - Episode U.S.A., Inc. (the "Company"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Toppy International, was incorporated in
Delaware. The Company operates a chain of women's specialty stores
in the United States under the Episode name. During fiscal 1994,
the Company formally changed its name from Florida Adams, Ltd. to
Episode U.S.A., Inc.
Effective August 1, 1992, all of the subsidiaries of Florida Adams,
Ltd. merged into the parent company, Florida Adams, Ltd. In
addition, in fiscal 1993, the Private Label wholesale division was
discontinued and merged into Florida Adams, Ltd. (Note 3).
b. Fiscal Year - The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest
to January 31. References to fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 relate to
the fiscal years ended February 3, 1996, January 28, 1995, and
January 29, 1994, respectively. Fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 were
comprised of 53 weeks, 52 weeks and 52 weeks, respectively.
d. Merchandise Inventories - The value of merchandise inventories is
determined by the lower of the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") cost or
market.
e. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost,
less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Provisions for
depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line
method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets, which
are five years for computers and seven years for furniture, fixtures
and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter
of their economic lives or the terms of the leases.
f. Intangible Assets - Intangible assets, which consist of lease
acquisition costs, are amortized over the remaining life of the
related leases.
g. Store Preopening Expenses - Costs associated with the opening of new
stores are expensed in the fiscal year in which the related stores
are opened.
h. Deferred Liabilities - The Company receives construction allowances
upon entering into certain store leases. These construction
allowances are deferred and are recognized ratably over the lives of
the related leases. In addition, the Company defers the effect of
straight lining its leases, and amortizes the amounts over their
respective lease terms.
i. Income Taxes - The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The
Company provides for deferred income taxes under the asset and
liability ("SFAS") No. 109, whereby deferred income taxes result
from temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements.
- 8 -
<PAGE>
j. Loss Per Share - Loss per share was computed by dividing net loss by
the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the
period.
k. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. The financial statements include estimates of
restructuring charges for certain facilities closings (see Notes 12
and 13) and do not purport to reflect or provide for the
consequences of the bankruptcy proceedings and other uncertainties.
Actual results could differ from reported results.
l. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures
About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosures or
estimates fair values of financial instruments both reflected and
not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The
estimated fair values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, borrowings under credit agreements and accounts
payable (post-petition) approximate the carrying amounts at February
3, 1996 and January 28, 1995 due to their short maturities or
variable-rate nature of the borrowings. The fair value of the
Company's liabilities subject to compromise are not presently
determinable as a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings.
m. Reclassifications - Certain items previously reported in specific
captions in the accompanying financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the current year's classifications.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company operated retail and private label (wholesale) divisions. In
fiscal 1993, the Company decided to discontinue its Private Label
operations.
The results of the Private Label division have been reported separately as
a component of discontinued operations in the Statements of Operations.
Net assets of discontinued operations was $(235,459) at January 29, 1994
which consisted of current assets of $63,555, long-term assets of $397,805
and current liabilities of $696,819.
The following is financial information relating to the Private Label
division.

8. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of," which provides guidance on when to
assess and how to measure impairment of long-lived assets, certain
intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used, and
for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed
of.
The Company evaluated its investment in long-lived assets, which includes
property and equipment and lease acquisition costs, to be held in
operations on an individual store basis and determined that based upon the
history of operating results and updated operating projections, the
long-lived assets were impaired. The Company estimated the fair value of
the assets based on consideration received from the sale of these stores
to Mothers Work, Inc. (See Note 19 for further discussion.) As a result,
the Company recorded charge of $4,945,181 representing the amount required
to write-down the carrying value of the long-lived assets to their
estimated fair value as of February 3, 1996.
9. ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accrued expenses consist of the following:

Accrued professional fees $ 140,699 $ 154,179
Accrued sales and use taxes payable 119,252 98,313

$ 427,661 $1,457,424
========== ==========
10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company imports its merchandise inventory from various related parties
on open account. The Company's ability to purchase its merchandise
inventory on open account and operate as a going concern is contingent
upon the continued support of its shareholders. As of February 3, 1996,
included in liabilities subject to compromise, is accounts payable to
related parties of $32,031,743. Accounts payable to related parties of
$15,252,450, as of January 28, 1995, is included in other liabilities
since payment is not due within the next respective fiscal year.
- 11 -
<PAGE>
11. INCOME TAXES
The Company files a consolidated Federal income tax return with its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. State and local income tax returns are filed on
an unconsolidated basis. For fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 state and local
income taxes of $4,219, $4,705 and $3,929, respectively, were provided.
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$45,661,000 for Federal income tax purposes which expire in the tax years
2000 through 2010.
The difference between the effective rate and the statutory rate is
primarily due to state and local income taxes and the inability to
recognize the benefit of the loss carryforwards.
The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:

Net deferred tax assets $ -- $ -- $ -- $ --
============ ============== =========== ==============
</TABLE>
The primary sources of temporary differences are the adoption of uniform
capitalization for tax purposes pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986,
excess book depreciation over tax depreciation, amortization of leases
with scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis, amortization of
preopening expenses, the impairment of long-lived assets, and excess book
over tax basis of inventory. The valuation allowance relates to temporary
differences that currently cannot be realized for Federal, state and local
purposes because future taxable income cannot be reasonably assured.
12. REORGANIZATION ITEMS
In 1995, reorganization items consisted of the following:
Restructuring costs due to facilities closing:
Lease rejection obligations $2,054,022
Provisions for abandoned property and equipment 2,099,118
Other 228,428
Professional fees 93,090
----------
Total reorganization items $4,474,658
==========
As discussed in Note 1, the Company rejected nine leases which were
approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The lease obligations and related
reserves for the facilities closings include numerous real property leases
rejected and amounts for other executory contracts that have been
identified for rejection pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code
- 12 -
<PAGE>
and are reflected at the estimated amount of the eventually allowed claims
of the lessors in the Chapter 11 case as prescribed by Section 502 of the
Bankruptcy Code for the rejection of leases.
13. LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE
The following liabilities, including estimated obligations for lease
rejections, are classified as liabilities subject to compromise at
February 3, 1996.
Accounts payable $ 700,402
Related parties 32,031,743
Trade financing credit facility 2,747,599
Rejected leases 1,583,062
Accrued expenses 741,318
-----------
$37,804,124
===========
Liabilities subject to compromise under reorganization proceedings include
substantially all current and long-term unsecured debt as of the date of
the Filing. Pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, payment of
those liabilities may not be made except pursuant to a plan or
reorganization or Bankruptcy Court order while the Debtor continues to
operate as a debtor-in-possession.
The Company has recorded an estimated liability for certain leases that
have been rejected. While the Company believes that the amounts recorded
reflect known claims at this time, the amounts actually claimed by
creditors or allowed by the Bankruptcy Court may be different.
In addition, the Company has guaranteed the lease of an affiliate of the
Company who is unable to meet its obligation. The Company has made an
estimate for this obligation but the actual amount has not been
determined.
14. LINES OF CREDIT
On February 1, 1996, the Bankruptcy Court entered a interim order
approving the Debtor-In-Possession financing arrangement (the "DIP
Facility") as provided under the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of
January 31, 1996 between the Company and Marine Midland Bank ("Marine
Midland"). The final order was approved on February 22, 1996. Pursuant to
the terms of the DIP Facility, which expires on January 31, 1997, Marine
Midland made available to the Company a revolving line of credit not to
exceed $3,500,000. No amount was outstanding as of February 3, 1996.
Borrowings under the DIP Facility may be used to fund working capital,
inventory purchases and other general corporate purposes. The DIP Facility
requires the maintenance of minimum earnings starting February 4, 1996.
The Company received a waiver for the noncompliance of the minimum earning
requirements for the period February 4, 1996 through April 27, 1996.
During the year, the Company had a trade financing credit facility with
Hong Kong Shanghai Bank for the import of goods purchased from its parent.
The financing terms were prime less 0.5 percent due within 120 days of the
document of acceptance date.

<PAGE>
15. PROFIT SHARING PLAN
The Company has a 401(k) plan that covers substantially all employees with
one year of service. The Company's contribution is equal to 50 percent of
the eligible employee's contribution to a maximum contribution of 3
percent of compensation. The Company's contribution for fiscal 1995, 1994
and 1993 was $75,434, $46,921 and $61,258, respectively.
16. COMMON STOCK
The Company has authorized 3,000 shares of voting common stock at a par
value of $0.1 per common stock. As of February 3, 1996, the Company had
3,000 shares of common stock outstanding.
17. PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has authorized 316,000 shares of preferred stock at a par
value of $100 per preferred stock. As of February 3, 1996, the Company had
266,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. The liquidation preference
of the preferred stock is $100 per share.
18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases all of its stores, offices and warehouse. These leases
expire at various dates through 2005. Some leases contain options to renew
for a term of four or five years. The leases on stores generally provide
for payment of real estate taxes, common area charges and for additional
rent based primarily on percentage of sales.
Many of the Company's leases provide for minimum lease payments, which
increase at fixed rates during the lease terms. The Company records rent
expense incurred under its leases on a straight-line basis over the lives
of the underlying leases. Deferred rent represents the excess of rental
expense over amounts paid to landlords for these leases.
Future minimum lease payments at February 3, 1996 (which do not include
rejected leases) for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter are
as follows:
Fiscal Operating
Year Leases
1996 $ 3,373,208
1997 3,166,396
1998 2,909,619
1999 2,106,229
2000 2,161,934
Thereafter 5,153,333

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Effective June 1, 1996, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, Mothers
Work, Inc. ("Mothers Work") purchased all of the assets of 21 of the
Company stores plus additional inventory located at an outside warehouse.
The assets sold under the Asset Purchase Agreement include the leases, the
tangible leasehold assets, inventory supplies, inventory and security
deposits.
The Company will receive approximately $7 million from the sale of these
assets which consists of (a) $4 million in Mothers Work common stock, (b)
$2 million in cash, (c) an amount equal to security deposits held by the
Company's landlords of approximately $100,000 and (d) an adjustment to
common stock if the inventory at the closing date is less than or exceeds
$4.1 million. It is estimated that this adjustment will result in an
increase in the purchase price by approximately $900,000. As of June 14,
1996, the Company has received approximately $2,099,000 in cash.
In addition, the Company entered into a Trademark License Agreement with
Mothers Work for the exclusive right to use the trademark "Episode" in the
United States for which it will receive a maximum of $4.5 million in
royalties based on all sales in Episode Stores.

MOTHERS WORK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
On June 1, 1996, the Company acquired leases, associated assets and inventory of
21 stores of Episode for $7.3 million, including transaction costs.
Approximately $2.3 million was paid in cash and $5.0 million was paid through
the issuance of 217,365 shares of Mothers Work common stock. The purchase price
was allocated to the fair value of the net assets acquired under the purchase
method of accounting. Simultaneously, with the purchase of the aforementioned
assets, the Company entered into a trademark licensing agreement and
distribution agreement to operate the Episode stores in their current format and
under their current name. The trademark licensing agreement is for an initial
term of five years, automatically renewable for successive one year periods,
unless terminated by either party. The Company will license the Episode
trademark, payable through a royalty of 5% of Episode store sales, not to exceed
$4.5 million over the term of the agreement. Additionally, on May 31, 1996, in
order to pay the cash portion of the purchase price for the Episode assets
referenced above, to finance the opening of additional stores and for general
working capital purposes, the Company consummated a private placement of an
aggregate of 200,000 shares of its common stock to an institutional investor.
The purchase price for the shares was $22.25 per share, and the net proceeds to
the Company, after deducting commissions and other expenses, were $4.4 million.
During the year ended September 30, 1995, in separate transactions, the Company
completed the acquisitions of Motherhood Maternity Shops, Inc. ("Motherhood")
and A Pea in the Pod, Inc. ("Pea"). On August 1, 1995, concurrent with the
Motherhood acquisition, Mothers Work issued $92 million in face amount of
12.625% senior notes ("Notes") at a price equal to 97.934% of the face amount.
Together with the issuance of the Notes, the outstanding indebtedness incurred
in the Pea acquisition was repaid. The Motherhood purchase price was
approximately $34 million, including transaction costs, of which $22.5 million
was paid in cash and $11.5 million was paid through the issuance of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") to the Sellers. On April 5,
1995 the Company purchased Pea for approximately $25.5 million in cash,
including transaction costs, and the assumption of $2.5 million in funded debt.
The Motherhood audited financial statements are included in the Mothers Work
Form 8-K dated August 14, 1995, and the Pea audited financial statements are
included in the Mothers Work Form 8-K dated April 5, 1995.

<PAGE>
The pro forma financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the
acquisitions of Pea, Motherhood, and Episode and the issuance of shares of
Mothers Work common stock as if these transactions had occurred (i) as of March
31, 1996 in the case of the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and
(ii) as of October 1, 1994 in the case of the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Operations.
The pro forma financial information has been prepared on the basis of
assumptions described in the notes thereto and includes assumptions relating to
the allocation of the consideration paid in connection with the acquisitions of
Episode, Motherhood and Pea to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
on estimates of their respective fair values. The actual allocation of such
consideration may differ from that reflected in the Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements after final valuations, liabilities and other
studies have been completed. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently
available information and upon certain assumptions that management believes are
reasonable. THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA DO NOT PURPORT TO REPRESENT WHAT THE
COMPANY'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN IF THE EPISODE
TRANSACTION ABOVE IN FACT HAD OCCURRED AS OF MARCH 31, 1996 IN THE CASE OF THE
PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET OR IF ALL TRANSACTIONS ABOVE HAD
OCCURRED AS OF OCTOBER 1, 1994 IN THE CASE OF THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS OR TO PROJECT THE COMPANY'S RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS FOR ANY FUTURE DATE OR PERIOD. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Mothers
Work, Inc. audited financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the year
ended September 30, 1995, and the unaudited financial statements included in its
Form 10-Q for the six months ended March 31, 1996. In addition, the pro forma
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Episode audited

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Pro Forma Balance Sheet
The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1996 assumes
the following transactions occurred on March 31, 1996: (i) the Episode
acquisition and issuance of common stock in connection therewith and (ii) the
private placement of 200,000 shares of its common stock, the net proceeds of
which amounted to approximately $4.4 million.
(1) The information for Episode is as of May 4, 1996.
(2) Reflects the sale of a private placement of an aggregate of 200,000 shares
of common stock at $22.25 per share less expenses. The Company is using the
proceeds of the offering to pay the cash portion of the purchase price for the
Episode assets, to finance the opening of additional stores and for general
working capital purposes.
(3) Reflects the application of the purchase method of accounting for the
Episode acquisition and the elimination of assets, liabilities and equity not
acquired (including approximately $807,0000 of cash, $700,000 of inventory
and all long-term debt and equity). Mothers Work acquired certain leases,
associated assets, inventory and certain liabilities, primarily gift
certificates and credit vouchers, of 21 stores of Episode for $2.3 million in
cash and the issuance of 173,913 shares of Mothers Work common stock valued at
$23 per share, plus or minus the Inventory Adjustment Amount. The Inventory
Adjustment Amount is payable or deductible from the Mothers Work common stock
