(1)     Options to purchase weighted average shares totaling 209, 33, and 185
        for the 13 weeks ended July 31, 1999 and August 1, 1998 and the 26 weeks
        ended July 31, 1999, respectively, were not included in the computation
        of diluted income (loss) per share because to do so would have been
        antidilutive.
