                        FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)


ITEM 2    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
- ------    Results of Operations
                  
GENERAL

Sales growth in the first quarter of last year was primarily from new store
openings with no contribution from stores opened more than one year or from the
Wholesale Company. Conversely, the first quarter of this year experienced sales
growth in all three areas, led by comparable store sales increases of 12.2%. The
earnings benefit from improved comparative store sales and the Wholesale Company
included higher inventory turnover and higher margins, as well as, more sales
leveraging on operating expenses. These benefits are reflected in the percent to
sales figures shown below. The comparative store sales increases in the first
quarter of this year are primarily a result of the recovery of average selling
prices to the level of the first quarter two years ago and slightly beyond.
Average selling prices in the first, second and third quarters of last year were
below the FY'95 levels. Unit sales were near flat to last year.

Looking ahead, comparable store sales in the second quarter of FY'96 were only
slightly ahead of the prior year, while comparative store sales were up 5% and
3% during the third and fourth quarters respectively. The second quarter could
offer some opportunity for growth in comparable store sales, while the third and
fourth quarters become somewhat more difficult. At this point in time, it
appears that planned store openings will take place although somewhat delayed
for Urban Retail stores. Store openings, and the timing of those openings, will
continue to be a risk due to the nature of the stores, and, management's very
deliberate style in selecting store locations and in completing lease
negotiations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's operating years end on January 31, and include 12 periods ending

This discussion of results of operations covers the first quarter of FY'97 and
FY'96.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage of the
Company's net sales represented by certain income statement data. The following
discussion should be read in conjunction with the table which follows:

                  FIRST QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30, 1996, COMPARED
                    TO THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30, 1995

Net sales increased during the first quarter ended April 30, 1996 to $33.6
million, up 20.5% from $27.9 million during the same period of the prior year.
The sales increases were from comparable store sales of $2.5 million, new and
enlarged store sales of $2.6 million and $600,000 from the Wholesale Company.
The comparable store sales growth was a result of increases in the average
selling prices over the first quarter of the prior year. The increases brought
the average selling prices back in line with earlier years. New store sales
increases were from four Urban stores opened at various times last year and one
Anthropologie store opened during the first quarter of this year. Wholesale grew
at 8.4% when compared to last year's first quarter.

The gross profit margin during the first quarter ended April 30, 1996 was $17.1
million, up $3.0 million or 21.0% from the prior year quarter of $14.1 million.
The dollar increase resulted from the volumes previously described and from an
improved gross profit margin percentage of 50.7% up from 50.5% during the same
quarter of the prior year. The improved percentage resulted from higher initial
mark-ups and lower mark-downs during the quarter from both retail companies,
offset by a higher mix of lower margin sales in the Wholesale Company.

                                        7




Selling, general and administrative expenses during the first quarter ended
April 30, 1996 were $12.3 million, up $1.8 million or 17.6% from the prior year
of $10.5 million. The dollar increases were almost entirely due to new stores
opened. Stated as a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased to 36.7% from 37.6% in the prior year. Expense leveraging on
relatively high growth in comparable store sales provided for the reduced
percentage.

Income from operations during the first quarter ended April 30, 1996 was $4.7
million, up $1.1 million or 30.8% from the prior year first quarter of $3.6
million. The Wholesale Company contributed about one third of those earnings.

The effective income tax rate for the quarter of 42% remains unchanged from last
year.

Net income during the first quarter ended April 30, 1996 was $2.9 million, up
$660,000 or 29.1% from the prior year of $2.3 million. Increased sales volumes,
higher gross profit margins and expense leveraging contributed to the net income
growth.


                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $20.8 million at April 30, 1996 from
$20.1 million at January 31, 1996. The $688,000 increase in cash and cash
equivalents comes from cash from operations of $3.8 million, proceeds from the
issuance of common shares of $1.1 million, net growth in short-term payables of
$3.8 million, offset by the seasonal growth of inventory and accounts receivable
of $(3.3) million, capital expenditures of $(2.3) million and the net purchase
of investments of $(2.4) million.

The Company's net working capital increased from $36.5 million at January 31,
1996, to $40.8 million at April 30, 1996. The $4.3 million increase in net
working capital was funded by the cash from net income, adjusted up for non-cash
charges and the proceeds from the issuance of common shares.

The Company has a $10.0 million revolving line of credit available to facilitate
letter of credit transactions and cash advances. Interest on any outstanding
balance is payable monthly based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
plus 1/2%. No cash borrowing has ever taken place on this line and, accordingly,
no principal amounts were outstanding at January 31, 1996, or April 30, 1996.
Outstanding letters of credit totaled $5.3 million and $4.1 million at January
31, 1996, and April 30, 1996, respectively. These letters of credit, which have
terms from one month to one year, collateralize the Company's obligation to
third parties for the purchase of inventory. The fair value of these letters of
credit is estimated to be the same as the contract values. There were no loan
balances of any kind at January 31, 1996 or April 30, 1996.

The Company expects that capital expenditures during FY'97 will be approximately
$13 million depending upon the number of stores opened, enlarged or improved
during the year and the timing of the new distribution center construction. The
company believes that existing cash and investments at April 30, 1996, as well
as cash from future operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash
needs through at least FY'97, FY'98 and FY'99.
