NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
1: Basis of Presentation
The financial information included herein is unaudited; however,
such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the
interim periods.
The results of operations for the three-month period ended March
30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.
2: Inventories
Inventory has been calculated using the cost complement obtained
from the inventory tracking system which is applied on an
individual store basis. Additionally, gross profit margin is
reduced by an estimated percentage of sales for shrinkage.
3: Loss Per Common Share
The loss per Common Share for 1996 and 1995 is based on the
weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the
quarters. Common stock equivalents are not considered in the
computation, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive on the per
share amounts.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------
Consolidated net sales for the three-month period ended March 30,
1996 were $19,205, an increase of $74 or 0.4 percent from sales
of $19,131 for the three-month period ended April 1, 1995.
Retail store net sales were $16,446 for the three-month period
ended March 30, 1996, an increase of 3.3 percent from net sales
of $15,925 in 1995. Sales in stores opened during comparable
periods in 1996 and 1995 decreased 3.4 percent. The increase in
sales in the retail stores is principally attributable to the
seven retail stores opened after the first quarter of 1995.
Mail-order net sales were $2,759 for the three-month period ended
March 30, 1996, a decrease of $447 or 13.9 percent compared to
net sales of $3,206 for the three-month period ended April 1,
1995.
Gross profit for the three-month period ended March 30, 1996 of
$3,572 declined $624 or 14.9 percent as compared to the three-month
period ended April 1, 1995. The Company's first quarter
gross profit margin in 1996 of 18.6 percent decreased 3.3
percentage points from 21.9 percent in the first quarter of
1995. The decrease in margin from the prior year reflects
increased sales of merchandise with lower margins, increased
occupancy costs, which are included in cost of goods sold,
attributable to the opening of new retail stores and the
Company's response to competitive pressures.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $470 or
8.7 percent from the previous year. As a percentage of sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 28.2
percent in 1995 to 30.5 percent in 1996. This increase reflects
the fact that the Company incurred operating expenses relating
to the seven retail stores opened after the first quarter of
1995.
The Company's effective income tax rate for the first quarter of
1996 was consistent with the first quarter of 1995.
Interest expense increased to $461 in 1996 from $400 in 1995.
The Company incurred an increased level of borrowings in 1996,
offsetting a slightly decreased rate of interest from the first
quarter of 1995. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for
further discussion.
The loss for the three-months ended March 30, 1996 was $1,942
compared to the loss at April 1, 1995 of $1,128.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Company's working capital at March 30, 1996 and December 30,
1995 was $17,252 and $18,327, respectively. The decrease in
working capital was mainly attributable to increased borrowing
under the revolving line of credit and increased accounts payable
to finance increased inventory levels. The Company increased its
inventory to prepare for its peak selling season, to increase its
product assortment and to accommodate store openings.
The Company believes that its working capital and its credit
facility will be adequate to meet identifiable working capital
requirements in the foreseeable future. Total weighted average
borrowings were $19,467 and $16,395 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively and the weighted average interest rate was 9.6
percent and 9.8 percent in the first quarters of 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Cash flow from operations, combined with the Company's available
line of credit is expected to provide the necessary funds for
planned capital expenditures during 1996. These expenditures are
estimated to total approximately $3,000 in 1996 and primarily
constitute expenditures for store expansion, relocations and
remodelings.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- --------------------
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" (SFAS 123) in
the first quarter of 1996. In adopting SFAS 123, the Company
intends to continue to utilize the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and, accordingly, the adoption of
SFAS 123 will result in certain disclosures as to net income
(loss) and per share amounts in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements in the Company's 1996 annual report.
RECENT EVENTS
- -------------
Effective May 6, 1996, the Company amended its Credit Agreement
with United Jersey Bank (I) to temporarily increase its revolving
line of credit from $17,000 to $20,000 through July 31, 1996 and
(ii) to amend certain financial covenants. The funds from the
increased availability under the Company's revolving line of
credit will be used primarily to purchase inventory to enhance
product assortment.

Part II - Other Information
Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION
The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger on April
2, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement"), with West Marine, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("West") and WM Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of West ("Merger Sub"),
pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will, at the
effective time of the Merger, be merged with and into the Company
(the "Merger") and the Company will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of West. At the effective time of the Merger, each
share of common stock, $.001 par value, of the Company (the
"Company Common Stock") outstanding at the effective time of the
Merger will be converted into the right to receive a fraction
(the Exchange Ratio") of a share of common stock , $.001 par
value, of West (the "West Common Stock") based on the average
closing sales price per share of West Common Stock for the 15
trading days preceding the effective time of the Merger (the
"Average Trading Price"), which exchange ratio will be calculated
as follows: (I) if the Average Trading Price is at least $38.00
and not greater than $43.875, the Exchange Ratio will equal the
quotient of $6.65 divided by the Average Trading Price; (ii) if
the Average Trading Price is greater than $43.875, the Exchange
Ratio will equal 0.15157; and (iii) if the Average Trading Price
is less than $38.00, the Exchange Ratio will equal 0.17500. Upon
the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding options and
warrants to purchase shares of the Company Common Stock will be
assumed by West and become options and warrants to purchase
shares of West Common Stock. Consummation of the Merger is
contingent upon customary closing conditions, including approval
of the Merger by the stockholders of the Company.
