The amounts outstanding thereunder bear interest at a maximum per annum rate up to the bank's prime rate.

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 STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS - ---------------------------------------------- Except for the historical information and current statements contained in this Form 10-Q, certain matters discussed herein, including, without limitation, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the effect of economic and market conditions and competition, the ability to open new stores and expand into new markets, and risks relating to foreign importing operations, which would cause actual results to differ materially. 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 and the renovation of existing stores. During the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2000, the Company used cash ($6,133,000),a reduction in receivables ($1,106,000), and cash flow from non-cash depreciation expenses ($2,393,000) to repay accounts payable ($5,176,000),to fund inventory purchases ($1,150,000)and to fund the Company's store expansion and remodeling program ($2,830,000). The Company had no bank borrowings during Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999. 			 9 The Company plans to open approximately fifteen new stores during 2000. The Company has opened seven new Lillie Rubin stores in the first half of Fiscal 2000, and expects to open one additional store during the second half of 2000. The Company also opened two new Cache stores in the first half of Fiscal 2000, and expects to open approximately six or seven additional Cache stores during the second half of Fiscal 2000. After deducting construction allowances paid to the Company by its landlords, the Company has spent approximately $2,830,000 through July 1, 2000 and expects to spend between one and two million additional dollars during the second half of Fiscal 2000, for both new store and existing store construction and remodeling. The Company closed two stores in the first half of Fiscal 2000, the closures had no material impact on earnings. 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 - --------------------- Certain financial data concerning the Company's results of operations for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999, expressed as a percentage of net sales, are as follows: 			 Twenty-six Weeks Ended Thirteen Weeks Ended 			 ----------------------- --------------------- 				 July 1, July 3, July 1, July 3, 				 2000 1999 2000 1999 				 ------- ------- ------- ------- Sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying expenses 65.4% 64.3% 65.0% 63.7% Selling, general and administrative expenses 32.3% 30.9% 31.6% 30.3% Income before taxes 2.4% 4.9% 3.5% 6.2% Income tax provision 0.9% 2.0% 1.3% 2.5% Net income 1.5% 2.9% 2.2% 3.6% Sales - ----- Net sales increased $8,224,000 or 10.8% and $3,796,000 or 9.5%, respectively, during the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended July 1, 2000, versus the comparable periods in Fiscal 1999. The increases were primarily due to the greater number of stores open during the Fiscal 2000 period, as well as an increase in comparable store sales during the Fiscal 2000 periods. Comparable store sales increased 2.1% and 1.4%, respectively, for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods in Fiscal 2000, as compared to the comparable periods in Fiscal 1999. 			 10 Costs and expenses - ------------------ Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased $6,193,000 or 12.6% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2000, versus the similar period in Fiscal 1999. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales and the related cost of merchandise for those sales, as well as a $1,266,000 increase in occupancy expenses, primarily due to the additional stores in operation during the Fiscal 2000 versus Fiscal 1999. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales, including the occupancy expenses, increased 1.1%, (65.4% versus 64.3%) for the twenty-six week period ended July 1, 2000, versus the comparable period in Fiscal 1999. The increase was primarily due to higher markdowns taken in Fiscal 2000, as compared to Fiscal 1999. Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased $2,965,000 or 11.6% for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2000, versus the similar Fiscal 1999 period. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales and the related cost of the merchandise for those sales, and a $621,000 increase in occupancy, due to the additional stores in operation during Fiscal 2000 versus Fiscal 1999. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales, including occupancy and buying expenses, increased 1.3% (65.0% versus 63.7%) for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2000, versus the comparable period in Fiscal 1999. The increase was primarily due to higher markdowns in dollars, and as a percent of sales, as compared to the Fiscal 1999 period. Selling, general and administrative expenses - -------------------------------------------- Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A") increased $3,687,000 or 15.6% during the twenty-six week period ended July 1, 2000 versus the comparable period in Fiscal 1999. The increase was primarily due to the greater number of stores open in Fiscal 2000 as compared to Fiscal 1999. The increase in several expense categories was due to greater payroll and payroll taxes ($2,166,000), credit card fees ($224,000), depreciation ($252,000) and licenses and taxes ($180,000), and advertising expense($211,000). As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased 1.3% (32.3% versus 30.9%) for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2000 versus the similar Fiscal 1999 period. The increase was primarily driven by the greater number of stores open during the Fiscal 2000 period. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,741,000 or 14.4% during the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2000, versus the comparable period in Fiscal 1999. The increase was primarily due to the greater number of stores open in Fiscal 2000, as compared to Fiscal 1999. The increase in certain expense categories was primarily due to greater payroll and payroll taxes ($917,000), licenses and taxes($92,000) and depreciation ($113,000). As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased 1.3% (31.6% versus 30.3%) for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2000 versus the similar Fiscal 1999 period. The increase was due primarily to the effect of higher payroll and payroll taxes, which was primarily driven by the greater number of stores open during the Fiscal 2000 period. 				11 Interest expense - ---------------- Interest expense decreased $48,000 and $13,000, respectively, for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended July 1, 2000, due to the repayment of the related party notes. Interest income - --------------- Interest and other income decreased from $196,000 to $105,000 for the twenty-six week period, as well as decreasing from $107,000 to $65,000 for the thirteen week period. The decreases were primarily due to lower average cash balances after the repayment of the related party notes. Income taxes - ------------ The Company's effective tax rate is approximately 36.5% for Fiscal 2000, as compared to 41% in Fiscal 1999. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4.
