Certain financial information which is normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but which is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000.

BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS 	-------------------------- Basic and diluted earnings per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999. The approximate number of shares used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were 9,193,000 and 9,235,000, for the thirteen week periods ended April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999, respectively. 				 6 3.

BANK DEBT 	--------- During August 1999, the Company reached an agreement with its bank to extend the maturity of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility until January 31, 2003. Pursuant to the newly Amended Revolving Credit Facility, $15,000,000 is available until expiration at January 31, 2003. The amounts outstanding thereunder bear interest at a maximum per annum rate equal to the bank's prime rate. The agreement contains selected financial and other covenants including covenants to maintain a minimum current ratio, a maximum debt to equity ratio, a maximum capital expenditure covenant and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company grants to the bank a security interest in the Company's inventory and certain receivables. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit at April 1, 2000, and January 1, 2000. There were no borrowings in the Fiscal period ended April 1, 2000. 			 7 6. INCOME TAXES 	------------ The effective tax rates for Fiscal 2000 and 1999 are 36.5% and 41%, respectively. At April 1, 2000 and January 1, 2000, the Company's deferred tax assets were $976,000 and $960,000, respectively, also, there was no deferred tax liability. The major components of the Company's net deferred taxes at April 1, 2000 and January 1,2000 are as follows: 						 April 1, January 1, 							2000 2000 						 ---------- ----------- Net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL'S)....... $ 46,000 $ 46,000 Deferred rent................................... 788,000 801,000 Other........................................... 142,000 113,000 						 ----------- ----------- 						 $ 976,000 $ 960,000 						 =========== =========== 7. CONTINGENCIES 	------------- The Company is exposed to a number of asserted and unasserted potential claims. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters is not presently expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial position and results of operations. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 	 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - -------------------------------- The Company's primary need for capital is to finance new store merchandise inventories, as well as the construction of new stores. During the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000, the Company used cash ($3,517,000), cash flow from non-cash depreciation expenses ($1,172,000) a decrease in receivables ($473,000), as well as increase in accounts payable ($1,268,000) to offset the cost of inventory purchases ($3,305,000), payment of accrued liabilities and compensation ($1,446,000), and to fund the Company's new store expansion and remodeling program ($1,922,000). 			 8 The Company plans to open approximately ten to fifteen new stores during 2000. The Company opened two new Lillie Rubin stores in January and five new Lillie Rubin stores in March 2000, and closed one Lillie Rubin store in February 2000. The Company recently opened two new Cache Stores, one store in February 2000 and one store in April 2000. The additional new stores are expected to be opened during the summer and fall of 2000. After deducting construction allowances paid to the Company by its landlords, the Company has spent $1,922,000 through April 1, 2000 and expects to spend an additional two to three million dollars in 2000 for both new store and existing store construction and remodeling. Management believes that the Company's internally generated cash flows will be sufficient to meet anticipated requirements for operations and planned expansion during Fiscal 2000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- For the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000, the benefit of higher net sales, including a 3% increase in comparative store sales, was more than offset by higher cost of sales due to higher occupancy costs, higher markdowns and increased selling, general and administrative expenses, resulting in a decrease in net income in Fiscal 2000, as compared to Fiscal 1999. Certain financial data concerning the Company's results of operations for the thirteen week periods ended April 1, 2000 and April 2, 2000, expressed as a percentage of net sales, are as follows: 				 Thirteen Weeks Ended 				 --------------------- 				 April 1, April 3, 				 2000 2000 				 --------- -------- Sales 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying expenses 65.9% 65.0% Selling, general and administrative expenses 33.0% 31.7% Income before taxes 1.3% 3.5% Income tax provision 0.5% 1.4% Net income 0.8% 2.1% Sales - ------ Net sales increased $4,428,000 or 12.1% during the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2000, as compared to the 1999 Fiscal period. The increase was primarily due to the greater number of stores open during the 1999 period, as well as an increase in comparable store sales (sales for stores open at least one year or more) which increased 3% during 2000, as compared to the 1999 Fiscal period. 			 9 Costs and expenses - ------------------ Cost of sales, which includes occupancy and buying costs, increased $3,228,000 or 13.6% for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000 as compared to the similar 1999 Fiscal period. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in sales and the related cost of merchandise for those sales, higher markdowns, as well as a $645,000 increase in occupancy expenses, as a result of the additional stores in operation during Fiscal 2000 as compared to Fiscal 1999. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales including occupancy and buying expenses, increased 0.9%, (65.9% as compared to 65.0%) for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000 as compared to the 1999 Fiscal period, the increase was primarily due to the increase in occupancy and buying expenses, as well as an increase in markdowns. Selling, general and administrative expenses - -------------------------------------------- Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A")increased $1,946,000 or 16.8% during the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000 as compared to the 1999 Fiscal period. The increase was primarily due to the greater number of stores open in 2000 (approximately 15 more than fiscal 1999), and is reflected in greater payroll and payroll taxes ($1,319,000), credit card fees ($115,000), and depreciation ($140,000). As a percentage of sales, S,G & A expenses increased to 33.0% in Fiscal 2000 as compared to 31.7% in Fiscal 1999. Interest expense - ---------------- Interest expense decreased from $35,000 in Fiscal 1999 to $0 in Fiscal 2000, due to the repayment of the related party notes. Interest income - --------------- Interest income decreased from $89,000 in Fiscal 1999 to $40,000 in Fiscal 2000, due to the reduction in available cash. Income taxes - ------------ The Company's effective tax rate is approximately 36.5%, for Fiscal 2000 as compared to 41.0% in Fiscal 1999. 			 10 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4.
