Net Sales

Net sales for the second quarter of 1995 increased from approximately $15.0
million for the three months ended December 31, 1995, to $18.1 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1996. Net sales for the six months ended
December 31, 1996 increased to approximately $29.2 million compared to $22.4
million during the same period in 1995. The increase in net sales was primarily
attributable to the 45% increase in retail sales over the same period in 1995.
Same store sales increased 14% over last year's second quarter. The Company had
twenty seven retail stores open during the three months ended December 29, 1996
compared to twenty three during the three months ended December 31, 1995.
Wholesale sales decreased 26%, due largely to a decrease in shipments to the
Company's largest customer. The Company expects continued decreases in sales to
its largest wholesale customer. Catalog sales for both the three and six month
periods ended December 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 41.7% during the three
months ended December 31, 1995 to 40.0% during the three months ended December
29, 1996. Gross profit for the six month period ended December 31, 1995 was
41.8% compared to 40.6% in for the same six month period in 1996. The decrease
in gross margin for both the three and six 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 for the three months ended December 31, 1995
increased from $4.6 million (30.5% of net sales) to $5.7 million (31.8% of net
sales) for the three months ended December 29, 1996. Sales and marketing
expenses for the six months ended December 31, 1995 increased from $7.5 million
(33.4% of net sales) to $9.5 million (32.5% of net sales) for the six months
ended December 29, 1996. The hiring of retail store personnel, increased
advertising expense, and retail store operating costs accounted for a
substantial portion of the increase in sales and marketing expense.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1995
increased from $531,000 (3.5% of net sales) to $577,000 (3.2% of net sales) for
the three months ended December 29, 1996. General and administrative expenses
for the six months ended December 31, 1995 increase from $981,000 (4.4% of net
sales) to $1,143,000 (3.9% of net sales) during the six months ended December
29, 1996. General and administrative expenses have remained relatively
consistent in absolute dollars during both the three and six month periods due
to the Company's ability to increase sales with a minimal increase to expenses.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense of $102,000 and $89,000 for the three months ended in 1995 and
1996 respectively, and $158,000 and $166,000 for the six months ended 1995 and
1996 respectively, results from the Company's use of its line of credit.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended was
December 31, 1995 and December 29, 1996 was 40%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 29, 1996, the Company's working capital was approximately
$7,248,000 compared to $7,912,000 as of June 30, 1996. Cash amounted to
$1,461,000 as of December 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 December 29,
1996), plus 3/4%. The Company has approximately $3,782,000 in excess
availability on the line of credit at December 29, 1996. The Company believes
that its resources are adequate to fund its operations through the end of fiscal
1997.
