Pursuant to the Amended Revolving Credit Facility $12,000,000 is available until expiration at January 31, 2000. The amounts outstanding thereunder bear interest at a maximum per annum rate up to .50% above 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 and total equity ratio, a maximum capital expenditure covenant, a minimum earnings to bank interest coverage ratio and certain restrictions on the repayment of principal amounts due to related parties. The agreement prohibits the payment of any dividends on the Company's common stock.

On April 27, 1998, the Company loaned an executive $50,000, which is to be repaid in 60 monthly payments. The loan has a stated interest rate of 8.00%. All repayments are current at June 27, 1998. 7. INCOME TAXES ------------ The effective tax rates for Fiscal 1998 and 1997 are 41.0%. At June 27, 1998 and December 27, 1997, the Company's deferred tax assets were $935,000 and $966,000, respectively, also, there was no deferred tax liability.

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. 9 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. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 1998, the Company used cash ($1,635,000) and cash flow from non-cash depreciation expenses ($2,012,000) to repay accounts payable ($2,452,000), and to fund the Company's store expansion and remodeling program ($1,130,000). The Company has reduced bank borrowings during Fiscal 1998, as a result of improved earnings and reduced store openings. The Company plans to open approximately five to seven new stores during 1998. The Company opened two new stores in March 1998. The remaining stores are expected to be opened during the second half of 1998. After deducting construction allowances paid to the Company by its landlords, the Company has spent $1,130,000 through June 27, 1998 and expects to spend an additional $1,500,000 in 1998 for both new store and existing store construction and remodeling. The Company closed one store on June 30, 1998, the closure had no material impact on earnings. The Company is conducting a comprehensive review of its computer systems to identify the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and is developing an implementation plan to resolve the issue. The Company presently believes that, with modifications to existing software and converting to new software, where necessary, the Year 2000 problem will not pose significant operational problems for the Company's computer systems as so modified and converted. 10 Management believes that the Company's internally generated cash flows will be sufficient to meet anticipated requirements for operations and planned expansion during Fiscal 1998. Inventory levels, which are below last year's per store levels, now contains a greater proportion of go-forward fall merchandise, as compared to last year. The Company's current ratio at June 27, 1998 was 2.1 : 1.00; with cash on hand at $4.3 million and no bank borrowings as compared to bank debt of $1.2 million at June 28, 1997. The Company's cash flow from operations is primarily driven by improved earnings and non-cash depreciation charges of $2.0 million for the six month period. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- For the twenty-six and thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1998, the 3% increase and 5% increase, respectively in comparative store sales and reductions in several operating expense categories, was partially offset by lower gross margins and slightly higher occupancy costs, resulting in an increase in net income in Fiscal 1998 as compared to Fiscal 1997. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was partially offset by reductions in net interest expense, and higher interest income. Certain financial data concerning the Company's results of operations for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June 27, 1998 and June 28, 1997, expressed as a percentage of net sales, are as follows: Twenty-six Weeks Ended Thirteen Weeks Ended ---------------------- --------------------- June 27, June 28, June 27, June 28, 1998 1997 1998 1997 -------- -------- -------- -------- Sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying expenses 65.3% 65.1% 64.5% 64.2% Selling, general and administrative expenses 31.5% 32.9% 30.0% 31.7% Income before taxes 3.1% 1.8% 5.6% 4.0% Income tax provision 1.3% 0.7% 2.3% 1.6% Net income 1.8% 1.1% 3.3% 2.4% Sales - ----- Net sales increased $3,437,000 or 5.3% and $2,409,000 or 7.1%, respectively, during the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June 27, 1998, versus the comparable periods in 1997. The increases were primarily due to the comparable store sales increases during the 1998 periods. Comparable store sales increased 3% and 5%, respectively, for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods in 1998, as compared to the comparable periods in 1997. 11 Historically, sales at new stores do not achieve the same levels as existing, established stores. New stores generally begin to perform as well as existing stores during their second and third year of operation. Sales on a weighted average basis for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June 27, 1998 and June 28, 1997 were as follows: Twenty-six Weeks Ended Thirteen Weeks Ended ------------------------ ------------------------ June 27, June 28, June 27, June 28, 1998 1997 1998 1997 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Sales $67,854,000 $64,417,000 $36,520,000 $34,111,000 Weighted Average Stores Open During Period 170.0 163.3 170.8 164.8 Net Sales Per Weighted Average Number of Stores $ 399,000 $ 394,000 $ 214,000 $ 207,000 Net Weighted Average Sales per square foot $ 192.19 $ 190.27 $ 103.00 $ 99.93 Stores Open at End of Period 171 165 171 165 Costs and expenses - ------------------ Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased $2,379,000 or 5.7% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 1998, versus the similar period in 1997. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales and the related cost of merchandise for those sales, as well as a $388,000 increase in occupancy expenses, primarily due to the additional stores in operation during the 1998 versus 1997. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales, including the occupancy expenses, increased 0.2%, (65.3% versus 65.1%) for the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 1998, versus the comparable period in 1997. The increase was primarily due to higher markdowns in 1998, as a percent of sales. The Company takes markdowns for several reasons such as; changes in customer preference, seasonal adaptation, changes in style or if it is determined merchandise in stock will not sell at its currently marked price. Cost of sales, including occupancy and buying costs, increased $1,651,000 or 7.5% for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1998, versus the similar 1997 period. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales and the related cost of the merchandise for those sales, and a $170,000 increase in occupancy, due to the additional stores in operation during 1998 versus 1997. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales, including occupancy and buying expenses, increased 0.3% (64.5% versus 64.2%) for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1998, versus the comparable period in 1997. The increase was primarily due to higher markdowns, as a percent of sales, versus the comparable period in 1997. 12 Selling, general and administrative expenses - -------------------------------------------- Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A") increased $217,000 or 1.0% during the twenty-six week period ended June 27, 1998 versus the comparable period in 1997. The increase was primarily due to greater payroll and payroll taxes ($309,000), credit card fees ($47,000), depreciation ($157,000) and licenses and taxes ($59,000), and was partially offset by a reduction in freight expense ($212,000), telephone expense ($56,000), insurance expense ($64,000), and store petty cash ($76,000). As a percentage of sales, these expenses decreased 1.4% (31.5% versus 32.9%) for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 1998 versus the similar 1997 period. The decrease was due primarily to the effect of higher comparable store sales, experienced in the current twenty-six week period, upon S,G&A expenses, which are relatively fixed in nature, as well as management's efforts to contain S,G&A expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $153,000 or 1.4% during the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1998, versus the comparable period in 1997. The increase was due to greater payroll and payroll taxes ($176,000), credit card fees($60,000)and depreciation($108,000), and was partially offset by a reduction in freight expense ($123,000), telephone expense ($37,000) and store petty cash ($30,000). As a percentage of sales, these expenses decreased 1.7% (30.0% versus 31.7%) for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1998 versus the similar 1997 period. The decrease was due primarily to the effect of higher comparable store sales, experienced in the current thirteen week period, upon S,G&A expenses, which are relatively fixed in nature, as well as management's efforts to contain S,G&A expenses. Interest expense - ----------------- Interest expense decreased $38,000 (31.1%) and $15,000 (28.8%), respectively, for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June 27, 1998 versus the comparable period in 1997, primarily due to reduced bank borrowing and improved earnings in 1998. Interest income - --------------- Interest income increased to $93,000 from $9,000 for the twenty-six week period, as well as increasing to $60,000 from $3,000 for the thirteen week period. The increase is primarily due to the higher cash flow levels the Company is currently generating. Income taxes - ------------ The Company's effective tax rate is approximately 41%, for Fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively. 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
