Independent Auditors' Report



Lew Magram Ltd.
New York, New York


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lew Magram Ltd. as of
January 4, 1997 and December 30, 1995, and the related statements of
operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows for the year ended January 4,
1997, the six months ended December 30, 1995 and the year ended July 1, 1995.
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 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 provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Lew Magram Ltd. as of January
4, 1997 and December 30, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year ended January 4, 1997, the six months ended December 30,
1995 and the year ended July 1, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                                                  Summary of Accounting Policies

================================================================================

Description of Business               The Company is a mail order ladies apparel
                                      retailer.

Cash and Cash Equivalents             The Company considers all highly liquid
                                      investments purchased with a maturity of
                                      three months or less to be cash
                                      equivalents.

Marketable Securities                 Effective July 3, 1994, the Company
                                      adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
                                      Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
                                      Investments in Debt and Equity
                                      Securities." At January 4, 1997 and
                                      December 30, 1995, the Company's
                                      investments consist primarily of
                                      tax-exempt bonds and money market funds.
                                      The investments have been classified as
                                      trading securities and are stated at
                                      market value with the resulting unrealized
                                      gain reflected in other income.
                                      Previously, the Company's investments were
                                      carried at the lower of aggregate cost or
                                      market.


Inventories                           Inventories consisting of finished goods
                                      are valued at the lower of cost (first-in,
                                      first-out) or market.

Catalogue and Advertising
Expenses                              The Company expenses the production costs
                                      of advertising the first time the
                                      advertising takes place, except for
                                      direct-response advertising, which is
                                      capitalized and amortized over its
                                      expected period of future benefits.

                                      Direct-response advertising consists
                                      primarily of mail order catalogues that
                                      include order forms for the Company's
                                      products. The capitalized costs of the
                                      catalogue are amortized over the shipping
                                      season of the products appearing in the
                                      catalogues, which does not exceed 6
                                      months.


                                                                               8

                                                  Summary of Accounting Policies

================================================================================

                                      The Company began a production
                                      development program that extends the
                                      useful lives of certain production costs
                                      over many catalogue seasons. These costs
                                      are being amortized on a straight-line
                                      basis over 18 months, the estimated
                                      useful life, and consist of photography,
                                      modeling and color separation costs. The
                                      change in estimate of amortizing these
                                      costs over 18 months instead of 6 months
                                      resulted in an increase to prepaid
                                      catalogue expenses of approximately
                                      $450,000 and decrease in advertising
                                      expenses by the same amount for the six
                                      months ended December 30, 1995.

Property, Equipment and
Depreciation                          Depreciation and amortization are computed
                                      by both accelerated and straight-line
                                      methods based on the estimated useful
                                      lives of the assets.

Revenue Recognition                   Revenue is recognized at the time
                                      merchandise is shipped to customers.
                                      Proceeds received for merchandise not yet
                                      shipped are reflected as "customers'
                                      unshipped orders," a current liability. In
                                      addition, the Company passes on the cost
                                      of parcel shipments directly to the
                                      customer as part of the postal and
                                      handling charge, which is customary in the
                                      direct mail industry. This is reflected as
                                      a reduction of operating expenses.

                                      The Company also derives revenue through
                                      the rental of their customer mailing
                                      list, which is reflected in other income.

Merchandise Credits                   The Company issues merchandise credits for
                                      certain returns of merchandise sold with
                                      substantial discounts. Unused credits are
                                      periodically written off into income (see
                                      Note 7).


                                                                               9

                                                  Summary of Accounting Policies

================================================================================

Income Taxes                          The Company elected, with the consent of
                                      its stockholder, to be taxed as an S
                                      corporation under the provisions of the
                                      Internal Revenue Code and New York State
                                      Franchise Tax Law. The stockholder is
                                      required to report the Company's taxable
                                      income or loss in his personal income tax
                                      returns; accordingly, such income taxes
                                      are not reflected in the financial
                                      statements. The financial statements
                                      include a provision for New York City and
                                      New Jersey income taxes since New York
                                      City and New Jersey do not recognize S
                                      corporation status. New York State imposes
                                      a corporate level tax based upon the
                                      differential between corporate and
                                      individual tax rates, which has been
                                      provided for.

                                      During the year ended July 1, 1995, the
                                      Company adopted Statement of Financial
                                      Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS No.
                                      109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS
                                      No. 109 is an asset and liability approach
                                      that requires the recognition of deferred
                                      tax assets and liabilities for the
                                      expected future tax consequences of events
                                      that have been recognized in the Company's
                                      financial statements or tax returns. The
                                      adoption of the statement did not have a
                                      significant impact on the Company's
                                      financial position or on its results of
                                      operations. Deferred income taxes are
                                      immaterial and not recorded by the
                                      Company.

                                      In connection with the transactions
                                      discussed in Note 12, the Company's S
                                      corporation status was automatically
                                      terminated and the Company will now be
                                      taxed as a C corporation. The change in
                                      status will not materially affect the
                                      Company.

Fiscal Year                           The Company's fiscal year is comprised of
                                      52-53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest
                                      to December 31. Fiscal 1996 ended on
                                      January 4, 1997, which comprised of a
                                      53-week year. The additional week was
                                      added in the fourth quarter of this fiscal
                                      year.

                                      Prior to July 1995, the Company's year-end
                                      was comprised of a 52-53 week fiscal year
                                      ending on the Saturday closet to June 30.
                                      The six-month period ended December 30,
                                      1995 was comprised of 26 weeks and, fiscal
                                      1995 ended on July 1, 1995, which
                                      comprised a 52-week year.


                                                                              10

                         The Company had an agreement with the bank under which
                         it may borrow up to $1,000,000 through March 1, 1996.
                         Interest on borrowings under the agreement is at 1%
                         over the bank's prime rate. The amount of borrowings is
                         subject to a borrowing base formula consisting of 40%
                         of inventory and 75% of mailing list receivables aged
                         under 90 days and is secured by substantially all the
                         assets of the Company. As of December 31, 1995, the
                         outstanding balance under this agreement was $1,000,000
                         at a current rate of interest of 9.5%.

                         In April 1996, a new $2,000,000 line of credit was
                         entered into with similar terms and conditions.

                         In August 1996, the Company replaced its prior line
                         with a $5,000,000 committed line of credit with
                         Congress Financial Corp. for a term of three years. The
                         agreement provides for borrowings subject to a
                         borrowing base formula consisting of 50% of inventory
                         and is secured by substantially all the assets of the
                         Company. Interest on borrowings under the agreement is
                         at 1.5% over the bank's prime rate and is calculated on
                         a minimum borrowing of $2,000,000. As of January 4,
                         1997, the outstanding balance under this agreement was
                         $1,325,547 at a current rate of interest of 9.75%. The
                         effective interest rate was 14.71%.

3.   Note Payable -      In April 1991, the Company purchased 30 shares of its
     Former              stock for $1,252,889 from two stockholders, who are
     Stockholders        also the parents of the existing owners, which
                         represented all of the capital stock owned by them, in
                         exchange for a note. The principal amount outstanding
                         at December 31, 1995 was $313,221 at an interest rate
                         of 8.5%. The principal amount, as revised, was payable
                         in annual installments of $104,407 beginning on
                         September 30, 1995. On August 8, 1995, the principal
                         amount outstanding and all accrued interest were
                         subordinated to the term loan outstanding and the bank
                         agreement referred to in Note 2. In December 1996, the
                         former stockholders forgave the debt outstanding to the
                         Company. The forgiveness of debt was recorded as a
                         direct addition to additional paid-in capital.
