NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Unaudited
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Company and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in
notes to financial statements have been condensed or omitted according to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.
It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and financial notes thereto included in the Company's 1996
Annual Report.
Note 2 - Restructuring Charge
In the fourth quarters of 1995 and 1994, the Company recorded restructuring
charges related to its plan to close a total of nine unprofitable stores. Eight
stores were closed during fiscal years 1995 and 1996, with the remaining store
being closed in February 1997.
During the first quarterhalf of 1997 charges applied against the restructuring reserve
include cash expenditures of $83,000$107,000 for store closing costs and $167,000$171,000 for
equipment and leasehold improvement write-offs. The remaining reserve of $68,000$40,000
will be utilized primarily for lease termination costs.
The restructuring charges include management's best estimates of amounts
required to be paid for store closing and lease termination costs. The total
amount of the cash payments ultimately required could differ materially from the
amounts recorded if management is unable to negotiate an acceptable lease
termination agreement with the landlord.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of funds are cash flows from operations and
borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Net cash used in operating
activities was $3.6 million$712,000 during the first quarterhalf of 1997. Excluding changes in
operating assets and liabilities, cash provided by operating activities was $3.4$7.0
million in the first quarterhalf of 1997. An increase in merchandise inventories of
$4.9$9.6 million and a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.3$2.1
million were partially offset by the $3.4$7.0 million in cash generated by
operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities. The increase in
merchandise inventories was primarily due to seasonal fluctuations.
Working capital increased to $52.4$53.3 million at May 3,August 2, 1997 from $45.1 million
at February 1, 1997 and the current ratio improved to 4.43.7 to 1 from 3.5 to 1.
Long-term debt as a percentage of total capital was 18.5%17.5% at May 3,August 2, 1997,
compared to 13.1% at February 1, 1997.
Capital expenditures were $1.7$3.9 million in the first quarterhalf of 1997. Of these
expenditures, approximately $1.1$2.9 million was incurred for the remodeling of
certain stores. The remaining capital expenditures in the first quarterhalf of 1997
were primarily for technological improvements in the stores and distribution
center.
The Company intends to open three orend fiscal 1997 with 91 stores after the opening of four
stores in the second half of 1997.1997 and the closing of four lower volume stores at
the expiration of their leases. Two stores were closed in the first quarterhalf of
1997. The Company opened twofour stores in the first quarterhalf of 1996 and closed foursix
stores.
The actual amount of the Company's cash requirements for capital
expenditures depends in part on the number of new stores opened, the amount of
lease incentives, if any, received from landlords and the number of stores
remodeled. The opening of new stores will be dependent upon, among other things,
the availability of desirable locations, the negotiation of acceptable lease
terms and general economic and business conditions affecting consumer spending
in areas the Company targets for expansion.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) As part of the Company's effort to
upgrade the image of its stores, a new prototype design has been utilized in all
new and remodeled stores since the fourth quarter of 1995. The size of stores
utilizing the new prototype design has increased from 10,000 square feet to
between 12,000 and 18,000 square feet depending upon, among other factors, the
location of the store and the population base the store is expected to service.
Accordingly, capital expenditures for new stores have increased to an average of
approximately $450,000, including point-of-sale equipment which is generally
acquired through equipment leasing transactions. The average inventory
investmentsinvestment in a new store is expected to range from $550,000 to $850,000,
depending on the size and sales expectation of the store and the timing of the
new store opening. Pre-opening expenses, such as advertising, salaries, supplies
and utilities, are expected to average $60,000 to $80,000 per-store.
The Company's $35 million credit facility provides for a combination of cash
advances on a revolving basis and the issuance of commercial letters of credit.
Borrowings under the revolving credit line are based on eligible inventory. The
credit agreement limits capital expenditures in 1997 to $12 million. Borrowings
and letters of credit outstanding under this facility at May 3,August 2, 1997 were
$14$13.6 million and $4.6$8.5 million, respectively.
The Company anticipates that its existing cash and cash flow from operations,
supplemented by borrowings under the credit facility will be sufficient to fund
its planned expansion and other operating cash requirements for at least the
next 12 months.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Seasonality
The Company's quarterly results of operations have fluctuated, and are expected
to continue to fluctuate in the future primarily as a result of seasonal
variances and the timing of sales and costs associated with opening new stores.
Non-capital expenditures, such as advertising and payroll, incurred prior to
opening of a new store are charged to expense in the month the store is opened.
Therefore, the Company's results of operations may be adversely affected in any
quarter in which the Company opens new stores.
The Company has three distinct selling periods: Easter, back-to-school and
Christmas.
10Factors That May Effect Future Results
