Net Sales

Net sales for the third quarter increased from approximately $8.4 million for
the quarter ended April 2, 1995, to $11.0 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1996.  Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 increased to
approximately $33.3 million compared to approximately $20.3 million during the
comparable prior period.  Increased retail and wholesale sales accounted for the
majority of the sales increase for both the three and nine month periods.  The
Company had twenty-three retail stores open during the quarter ended March 31,
1996, compared to fifteen retail stores during the quarter ended April 2, 1995.
Catalog sales for both the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 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 44.8% during the three
months ended April 2, 1995, to 39.9% during the three months ended March 31,
1996.   Gross profit for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 was 41.1%
compared to 45.9% for the nine month period ended April 2, 1995.  The decrease
in gross margin for both the three and nine month period was due primarily to
increases in retail store sales and wholesale sales which have lower overall
margins than the Company's catalog sales.


Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased in dollars from $2.8 million for the
three months ended April 2, 1995 to $3.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, but decreased as a percentage of net sales from 33.8% in 1995 to
32.8% of net sales in 1996.  Sales and marketing expenses increased in dollars
from $7.4 million for the nine months ended April 2, 1995 to $11.0 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 1996, but decreased as a percentage of net sales
from 36.5% in 1995 to 33.2% in 1996.  The Company's retail expansion has
accounted for a substantial portion of the increases in expenses in dollars
while decreasing as a percentage of net sales.

General and administrative expenses decreased in dollars from $513,000 (6.1% of
net sales) for the three months ended April 2, 1995 to $491,000 (4.5% of net
sales) for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  General and administrative
expenses decreased in dollars from approximately $1,527,000 (7.5% of net sales)
for the nine months ended April 2, 1995 to $1,472,000 (4.4% of net sales) during
the nine months ended March 31, 1996.  General and administrative expenses have
remained relatively consistent in dollars during both the three and nine month
periods due to the Company's ability to increase sales with a minimal  increase
to expenses.

Interest Expense/Interest Income

Interest expense of approximately $73,000 and $231,000 for the three and nine
month periods ended March 31, 1996 results from the Company's use of its line of
credit.  Interest income of approximately $18,000 and $158,000 for the three and
nine month periods ended April 2, 1995, respectively resulted primarily from
investments in United States Treasury Securities purchased with the remaining
net proceeds from the Company's initial public offering in 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 1996, the Company's working capital was approximately $8,074,000
compared to $8,364,000 as of July 2, 1995.  Cash and cash equivalents amounted
to $159,000 as of March 31, 1996 compared to $17,000 as of July 2, 1995.

On October 18, 1995 an amendment to the Company's demand discretionary line of
credit from a bank increased the borrowing base up to $5,800,000 based upon
certain levels of accounts receivable and inventory.  The line of credit is
secured by all of the current assets of the Company, with interest payable at
the bank's base rate (8.25% at March 31, 1996), plus 1/4%.  The Company has
approximately $1,575,000 in excess availability on the line of credit at March
31, 1996.  The Company believes that its resources are adequate to fund its
operations through the end of calendar 1996.
