Net Sales

Net sales increased from approximately $7.4 million for the three months 
ended October 1, 1995,  to $11.1 million for the three months ended September 
29, 1996.  The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to retail and 
wholesale sales.  The Company had twenty-eight retail stores open during the 
three months ended September 29, 1996, compared to twenty-one retail stores 
during the three months ended October 1, 1995.  Several of the Company's 
factory direct retail stores were relocated to high traffic mall locations 
during the three months ended September 29, 1996.  The Company had one 
wholesale customer that accounted for 27% and 31% of net sales for the three 
months ended September 29, 1996 and October 1, 1995, respectively.  Catalog 
sales for the three months ended September 29, 1996 decreased due, in part, 
to shifts in sales to the Company's new retail stores and through the 
Company's wholesale expansion.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from 42.0% during the 
three months ended October 1, 1995 to 41.7% during the three months ended 
September 29, 1996.  The decrease in gross margin for the three month period 
was due primarily to the continued increase in retail store sales and 
wholesale sales which have lower overall margins than the Company's catalog 
sales. 

Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased from $2.9 million during the three 
months ended October 1, 1995 to $3.7 million for the three months ended 
September 29, 1996.  The hiring of additional retail store personnel, and 
store operating costs associated with new store openings accounted for a 
substantial portion of the increase.  Sales and marketing expenses as a 
percentage of net sales decreased from 39.4% to 33.6%, due largely to the 51% 
increase in net sales.   

General and administrative expenses increased from $450,000 (6.1%) during the 
three months ended October 1, 1995 to $566,000 (5.1%) for the three months 
ended September 29, 1996, due to increased overhead expenses associated with 
the Company's expansion.  

Interest Expense/Interest Income

Interest expense of $77,000 for the three months ended September 29, 1996 and 
$56,000 for the three months ended October 1,1995 results from the Company's 
use of its line of credit.  

Provision for Income Taxes 

The Company's effective income tax rate was 40.7% during the three months 
ended September 29, 1996 compared to 40% for the three months ended October 
1, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 29, 1996, the Company's working capital was approximately 
$6,799,000 compared to $7,912,000 as of June 30, 1996.  Cash and cash 
equivalents amounted to $213,000 as of September 29, 1996 compared to $87,000 
as of June 30, 1996.  

On October 4, 1996, an amendment to the Company's demand discretionary line 
of credit from a bank increased the Company's borrowing base from $7,400,000 
to $8,000,000 based upon certain percentages of eligible accounts receivable 
and inventory, as defined.  The line of credit is secured by all assets of 
the Company, with interest payable at the bank's base rate (8.25% at 
September 29, 1996), plus 3/4%.  The Company has approximately $3,284,000 in 
excess availability on the line of credit at September 29, 1996.  The Company 
believes that its resources are adequate to fund its operations through the 
end of fiscal 1997.
