(1) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying Condensed Balance Sheet as of May 30, 1998 and the related
Condensed Statements of Operations and Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for
the 13 weeks ended May 30, 1998 and May 31, 1997 are unaudited. The unaudited
operating results reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim
periods. Information pertaining to the year ended February 28, 1998 is
derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company's 1997
Annual Report on Form 10-K. This information should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto, together with management's
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations,
contained in the Company's 1997 Annual Report filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the 13 weeks
ended May 30, 1998 may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire fiscal year.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is based upon the estimated effective tax rate
for the entire fiscal year. The effective rate is subject to ongoing review
and evaluation by management.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Effective February 28, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS No. 128
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on
the face of the statement of operations for periods ending after December 15,
1997. Basic EPS excludes the effect of potentially dilutive options, warrants
and convertible securities. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities to issue common stock were exercised. Reported EPS
in prior periods have been restated to conform with the provisions of SFAS No.
128. During the thirteen week periods ended May 30, 1998 and May 31, 1997,
the impact of common stock options and warrants was anti-dilutive.
Accordingly, they were excluded from the calculation of EPS.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recently Issued Pronouncements
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" ("SFAS No, 130"). SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues,
expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general purpose financial
statements. SFAS No. 130 is effective for interim and annual periods
beginning after December 15, 1997. Management has determined that there are
no components of comprehensive income that are not disclosed in the statement
of operations, accordingly, there is no difference between net earnings and
net comprehensive income.
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for public business
enterprises to report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and selected information in the notes thereto. SFAS No. 131 is
effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15,
1997. In the initial year of application, comparative information for earlier
years is to be restated. SFAS No. 131 need not be applied to interim
financial statement in the year of adoption, but comparative information is
required in the second year of application. The Company has not determined
whether the adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have a material impact upon the
Company's financial reporting.
In April 1998, the AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
Activities." SOP 98-5 requires that costs of start-up activities, including
organization costs and club openings, be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1998. Restatement of previously issued financial statements is not
permitted. In the fiscal year SOP 98-5 is first adopted, the application
should be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principal.
The Company has not yet determined whether the application of SOP 98-5 will
have a material impact upon the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the May 31, 1997 amounts to
conform to the May 30, 1998 presentation.

(4) RESTRUCTURING
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company initiated a
comprehensive restructuring plan (the "Restructuring Plan"), which resulted in
a pretax charge of $16,250,000. The Restructuring Plan is designed to improve
the operating performance of the Company through the closure or disposition of
certain underperforming stores, elimination of underperforming merchandise
categories and implementation of cost reduction measures, including workforce
reductions, to more closely align the Company's cost structure with future
expected revenues.
The Company has closed 2 stores in its Midwest market, 1 store in California
and 1 store in Nevada. In June 1998, the Company closed 2 additional stores
(1 in Chicago and 1 in greater Washington, DC.). In addition, the Company is
actively looking to close up to 4 additional stores as part of its
restructuring efforts. The Company plans to continue to operate these stores,
where appropriate, in the current format or, if circumstances warrant, convert
to an outlet format in order to improve cash flow and minimize the ultimate
cost of disposition. As of May 30, 1998, no changes have been made to the
estimated Restructuring Plan costs and no charges were recorded to operations.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, cash used related to the
Restructuring Plan totaled $396,000, relating primarily to workforce
reductions and consulting and advisory fees associated with the Company's
restructuring and cost reduction efforts.

(5) LONG-TERM DEBT
On March 27, 1998, the Company entered into a new revolving credit agreement
with a new lender (the "Credit Facility"), commenced borrowings under the
Credit Facility and, concurrently, the Company's existing revolving credit
facility was terminated. The borrowing limit under this Credit Facility is
the lesser of $50.0 million or the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable
plus the lesser of 75% of eligible inventory or 90% of orderly liquidation
value. Interest is payable at a rate equivalent to the Chase Manhattan Bank
Rate ("Bank Rate") plus one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum or LIBOR
plus two and one half percent (2.50%) per annum (8.75% and 8.19% at May 30,
1998, respectively). The Company can lower its interest spread up to a
maximum of 0.25% and 0.50% on its Bank Rate and LIBOR borrowings respectively,
provided it achieves a certain fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined,
measured on a monthly rolling twelve month basis. Included in this facility
is a $7.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Company s Credit
Facility contains various restrictions on the payment of cash dividends,
incurrence of additional indebtedness, acquisitions, investments, loans,
merger or consolidation and disposition of assets. The covenants also require
the Company to meet a minimum net worth requirement at anytime the borrowing
availability is less than $5.0 million. The Company was in compliance with
the covenants at May 30, 1998. The Credit Facility is for an initial term of
three years with automatic annual renewals thereafter.

(5) LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)
At May 30, 1998, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $28,009,000 under
its $50,000,000 Credit Facility and $1,673,000 in outstanding letters of
credit for purchase commitments to foreign suppliers under this sub-facility.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following sets forth certain factors that have affected the Company's
results of operations in recent periods, and management believes will continue
to affect the Company in the future.
Restructuring and Asset Impairment
During fiscal 1996, the Company initiated a comprehensive restructuring and
cost reduction plan (the "Restructuring Plan"), resulting in a pretax charge
of $16.3 million. The Restructuring Plan is designed to improve the operating
performance of the Company through the closure or disposition of certain
underperforming stores, elimination of underperforming merchandise categories
and implementation of cost reduction measures, including workforce reductions,
to more closely align the Company s cost structure with future expected
revenues. As part of its restructuring efforts, the Company has closed 2
stores in its Midwest market, 1 store in California and 1 store in Nevada. In
June 1998, the Company has closed 2 additional stores (1 in Chicago and 1 in
greater Washington, D.C.). In addition, the Company is actively looking to
close up to 4 additional stores as part of its restructuring efforts. The
Company plans to continue to operate these stores, where appropriate, in the
current format or, if circumstances warrant, convert to an outlet format in
order to improve cash flow and minimize the ultimate cost of disposition. The
estimated cost of closure, disposition and/or liquidation and the time
involved is subject to continuing evaluation of these stores and merchandise
categories by management.
During fiscal 1996, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $1.8 million for
the impairment of certain operating assets. The principal factors leading up
to the charge were current and future operating losses on individual operating
assets, whereby the carrying value of certain operating assets exceeded the
current estimate of future cash flows from the related asset. The Company
will continually evaluate the performance of its operating assets for the
factors noted above and, if conditions warrant, write-down the value of such
Page 10
<PAGE>
assets commensurate with the current and estimated future operating
performance.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
13 Weeks Ended May 30, 1998 Compared to the 13 Weeks Ended May 31, 1997
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 30, 1998 increased $4.5 million, or
9.0%, to $55.0 million versus $50.5 million in the same period last year.
Comparable store sales increased $3.8 million, or 8.4%, for the period. Sales
from new stores and expanded or replacement stores increased by $2.3 million.
Sales were reduced by $1.6 million due to 3 store closures.
Management believes the increase in comparable store sales over the same
period a year ago can be attributable to the Company's increased promotional
efforts, a strong California economy where the majority of the Company's
stores are located and a favorable impact related to competitive openings.
Approximately 17% of the comparable stores were affected by new competitive
openings for the first quarter of 1998 compared to approximately 21% for the
same period last year.
Cost of sales, buying and occupancy for the 13 weeks ended May 30, 1998 were
$40.3 million versus $37.6 million for the same period a year ago, a $2.7
million increase. This dollar increase was attributable, primarily, to the
increased sales volume over last year. As a percent of net sales, cost of
sales, buying and occupancy decreased to 73.3% from 74.5% for the same period
a year ago. The improved gross margin points were primarily due to the
favorable impact of increased sales volume and the closure of 3 stores on
occupancy costs.
Selling and administrative expenses for the 13 weeks ended May 30, 1998
decreased $0.5 million to $14.5 million versus $15.0 million for the same
period in fiscal 1997 and decreased as a percentage of net sales from 29.7% to
26.4%. The dollar decrease was primarily due to the reduction in net
advertising expenditures and lower store labor expense. The decrease as a
percent of net sales was primarily due to the combined effect of increased
sales volume and the lower expenditures for advertising and store labor.
General and administrative expense as a percent of sales was 5.9% versus 5.7%
a year ago. The increase as a percent of sales was primarily the result of
expense recognition for newly established employee incentive plans.
As a result of the factors noted above, the Company had an operating income
for the 13 weeks ended May 30, 1998 of $0.1 million versus an operating loss
of $2.2 million for the same period a year ago, a $2.3 million increase.
Interest expense net, decreased $0.1 million to $0.8 million for the 13 weeks
ended May 30, 1998 versus $0.9 million for the same period in fiscal 1997.
The decrease was primarily the result of lower average borrowings and the
related cost of borrowing this year.
Page 11
<PAGE>
The Company recorded no income tax benefit associated with its losses for the
13 week periods ended May 30, 1998 and May 31, 1997 due to the uncertainty of
the Company's future taxable earnings. The estimated effective tax rate is
subject to continuing evaluation and modification by management.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On March 27, 1998, the Company entered into a new revolving credit agreement
with a new lender (the "Credit Facility"). The borrowing limit under this
Credit Facility is the lesser of $50.0 million or the sum of 85% of eligible
accounts receivable plus the lesser of 75% of eligible inventory or 90% of
appraised net liquidation value of inventory.
The Company's cash needs are primarily to support its inventory requirements,
store expansion and refurbishment and systems development. The Company has
historically financed its operations primarily with internally generated funds
and its credit facilities. At May 30, 1998, the Company's working capital was
$36.1 million, while advances from its Credit Facility were $28.0 million.
The Company had $14.7 million available for borrowings under its Credit
Facility as determined by the Company's eligible "borrowing base" at May 30,
1998.
Cash provided by operating activities for the 13 weeks ended May 30, 1998 was
$0.1 million. In the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company conducted going
out of business sales at 2 locations which closed in June 1998. Cash used in
restructuring payments was $0.4 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the 13 weeks ended May 30, 1998 was
$1.3 million. These funds were used for capital expenditures for improvements
to its distribution and warehouse facility, management information systems
development and existing store refurbishments.
Cash provided by financing activities for the 13 weeks ended May 30, 1998 was
$1.7 million.
The Company's capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 1998 are
currently expected to be approximately $3.8 million and will relate primarily
to the conversion and enhancement of its management information systems, new
store development and existing store expansions and refurbishments.
Management believes that funds generated from operations, its Credit Facility
and use of trade credit will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's working
capital requirements and commitments for capital expenditures through the end
of fiscal 1998.
Page 12
<PAGE>
YEAR 2000
The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems to
identify the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and has
developed an implementation plan to resolve the issue. The Year 2000 problem
is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than
four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's programs that have
time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather then the year 2000. This could result in a major system failure or
miscalculations. In fiscal 1998, the Company anticipates spending
approximately $1.0 million for the purpose of installing new merchandise,
distribution and financial software. This investment is the major component
of the Company's Year 2000 implementation plan. The Company presently
believes that, with modifications to existing software and converting to new
software, the Year 2000 problem will not pose significant operational problems
for the Company's computer systems as so modified and converted. However, if
such modifications and conversions are not completed in a timely manner, the
Year 2000 problem may have a material impact on the operations of the Company.
Also, there can be no assurance that the systems of other companies on which
the Company's systems rely also will be converted in a timely manner or that
any such failure to convert by another company would not have an adverse
effect on the Company's systems.
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS
The Company's business is subject to seasonal and quarterly fluctuations.
Historically, the Company has realized a higher portion of its net sales and
an even greater proportion of its profits in the months of November, December
and January. Additionally, the timing of promotional events may affect the
Company's results in different fiscal quarters from period to period.
