(Debtor-in-Possession) Financial Statements for the Fiscal Years Ended February 3, 1996, January 28, 1995, and January 29, 1994, and Independent Auditors' Report EPISODE U.S.A., INC. (Debtor-in-Possession) TABLE OF CONTENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Page INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT 1-2 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 3, 1996, JANUARY 28, 1995 AND JANUARY 29, 1994: Balance Sheets 3 Statements of Operations 4 Statements of Changes in Deficiency in Net Assets 5 Statements of Cash Flows 6 Notes to Financial Statements 7-15 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Episode U.S.A., Inc. We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Episode U.S.A., Inc. (Debtor-in-Possession) as of February 3, 1996 and January 28, 1995, and the related statements of operations, changes in deficiency in net assets and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 3, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Private Label in January 29, 1994 (a division of Episode U.S.A., Inc.), which statements reflect total assets constituting 1.6 percent and total revenues constituting 17.1 percent. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose report have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Private Label, is based solely on the report of such auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Episode U.S.A., Inc. (Debtor-in-Possession) as of February 3, 1996 and January 28, 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 3, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 1, the Company filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in January 1996. The accompanying financial statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences of the bankruptcy proceedings. In particular, such financial statements do not purport to show (a) as to assets, their realizable value on a liquidation basis or their availability to satisfy liabilities; (b) as to pre-petition liabilities, the amounts that may be allowed for claims or contingencies, or the status and priority thereof; (c) as to stockholder accounts, the effect of any changes that may be made in the capitalization of the Company; (d) as to operations, the effect of any changes that may be made in its business; or (e) as to the litigation, claims and contingencies discussed in Note 13, the amounts that may be allowed for such matters. The eventual outcome of these matters is not presently determinable. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed In Note 1, the bankruptcy filing and related circumstances and the losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of its business as a going concern is contingent upon, among other things, future profitable operations, the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations and financing sources to meet obligations, and the development and confirmation of a plan or reorganization. Management's plans concerning these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties referred to herein and in the preceding paragraph.

(Debtor-in-Possession) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FISCAL YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 3, 1996, JANUARY 28, 1995 AND JANUARY 29, 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. CHAPTER 11 PROCEEDINGS AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRESENTATION On January 26, 1996, Episode U.S.A., Inc. (the "Debtor") filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the "Filing"). During fiscal 1995, weakening economic conditions experienced in the retailing industry and the economy in general led to a highly competitive retail environment. The Company experienced lower than expected sales results, a significant decrease in cash provided by operating activities and a deterioration in the Company's liquidity. Accordingly, on January 26, 1996, the Debtor filed petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in order to restructure its operations. The Debtor is presently operating its business as a debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The financial statements of the Company have been presented in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7; "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"); and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which principles, except as otherwise disclosed, assume that assets will be realized and liabilities will be discharged in the normal course of business. In the Chapter 11 case, substantially all liabilities as of the date of the Filing are subject to resolution under a plan of reorganization to be voted upon by the Debtor's creditors and stockholders and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. Schedules have been filed by the Debtor with the Bankruptcy Court setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Debtor as of the date of the Filing as shown by the Debtor's accounting records. Differences between amounts shown by the Debtor and claims filed by creditors will be investigated and resolved. The amount and settlement terms for such disputed liabilities are subject to allowance by the Bankruptcy Court. Ultimately, the adjustment of the total liabilities of the Debtor remains subject to a Bankruptcy Court approved plan of reorganization and, accordingly, the total amount of such liabilities is not presently determinable. The Debtor presently has the exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization until August 23, 1996, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval or further extensions. Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor may elect to assume or reject real estate leases, employment contracts, personal property leases, service contracts and other unexpired executory pre-petition executory contracts, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. Upon rejection, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, a lessor's claim for damages resulting from the rejection of a real property lease is limited to the rent to be received under such lease, without acceleration, for the greater of one year, or 15%, not to exceed three years, of the remaining term of the lease following the earlier of the date of Filings or the date on which the property is returned to the landlord. During the Chapter 11 Case, the Company rejected nine real estate leases which were approved by the Bankruptcy Courts. For further information, see Note 13 to financial statements. The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Filing, related circumstances and the losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. - 7 - The appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, confirmation of a plan of reorganization, future profitable operations, and the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations and financing sources to meet obligations. While under the protection of Chapter 11, the Company may sell or otherwise dispose of assets, and liquidate or settle liabilities, for amounts other than those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Further, a plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the value of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of a plan or reorganization (see Note 19 for further discussion). 2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a. Description of Business - Episode U.S.A., Inc. (the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toppy International, was incorporated in Delaware. The Company operates a chain of women's specialty stores in the United States under the Episode name. During fiscal 1994, the Company formally changed its name from Florida Adams, Ltd. to Episode U.S.A., Inc. Effective August 1, 1992, all of the subsidiaries of Florida Adams, Ltd. merged into the parent company, Florida Adams, Ltd. In addition, in fiscal 1993, the Private Label wholesale division was discontinued and merged into Florida Adams, Ltd. (Note 3). b. Fiscal Year - The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 relate to the fiscal years ended February 3, 1996, January 28, 1995, and January 29, 1994, respectively. Fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 were comprised of 53 weeks, 52 weeks and 52 weeks, respectively. d. Merchandise Inventories - The value of merchandise inventories is determined by the lower of the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") cost or market. e. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Provisions for depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are five years for computers and seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the terms of the leases. f. Intangible Assets - Intangible assets, which consist of lease acquisition costs, are amortized over the remaining life of the related leases. g. Store Preopening Expenses - Costs associated with the opening of new stores are expensed in the fiscal year in which the related stores are opened. h. Deferred Liabilities - The Company receives construction allowances upon entering into certain store leases. These construction allowances are deferred and are recognized ratably over the lives of the related leases. In addition, the Company defers the effect of straight lining its leases, and amortizes the amounts over their respective lease terms. i. Income Taxes - The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company provides for deferred income taxes under the asset and liability ("SFAS") No. 109, whereby deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. - 8 - j. Loss Per Share - Loss per share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. k. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The financial statements include estimates of restructuring charges for certain facilities closings (see Notes 12 and 13) and do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences of the bankruptcy proceedings and other uncertainties. Actual results could differ from reported results. l. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosures or estimates fair values of financial instruments both reflected and not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The estimated fair values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, borrowings under credit agreements and accounts payable (post-petition) approximate the carrying amounts at February 3, 1996 and January 28, 1995 due to their short maturities or variable-rate nature of the borrowings. The fair value of the Company's liabilities subject to compromise are not presently determinable as a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings. m. Reclassifications - Certain items previously reported in specific captions in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year's classifications. 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The Company operated retail and private label (wholesale) divisions. In fiscal 1993, the Company decided to discontinue its Private Label operations. The results of the Private Label division have been reported separately as a component of discontinued operations in the Statements of Operations. Net assets of discontinued operations was $(235,459) at January 29, 1994 which consisted of current assets of $63,555, long-term assets of $397,805 and current liabilities of $696,819. The following is financial information relating to the Private Label division. Fiscal 1993 Net sales $ 7,996,977 ============ Gross profit (loss) $ (103,902) ============= Operating profit (loss) $ (907,641) ============= Net income (loss) $ (907,641) ============= - 9 - 4.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of," which provides guidance on when to assess and how to measure impairment of long-lived assets, certain intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used, and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. The Company evaluated its investment in long-lived assets, which includes property and equipment and lease acquisition costs, to be held in operations on an individual store basis and determined that based upon the history of operating results and updated operating projections, the long-lived assets were impaired. The Company estimated the fair value of the assets based on consideration received from the sale of these stores to Mothers Work, Inc. (See Note 19 for further discussion.) As a result, the Company recorded charge of $4,945,181 representing the amount required to write-down the carrying value of the long-lived assets to their estimated fair value as of February 3, 1996. 9. ACCRUED EXPENSES Accrued expenses consist of the following: February 3, January 28, 1996 1995 Accrued professional fees $ 140,699 $ 154,179 Accrued sales and use taxes payable 119,252 98,313 Reserve for reorganization 164,192 -- Other accrued expenses 3,518 1,204,932 ---------- ---------- $ 427,661 $1,457,424 ========== ========== 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company imports its merchandise inventory from various related parties on open account. The Company's ability to purchase its merchandise inventory on open account and operate as a going concern is contingent upon the continued support of its shareholders. As of February 3, 1996, included in liabilities subject to compromise, is accounts payable to related parties of $32,031,743. Accounts payable to related parties of $15,252,450, as of January 28, 1995, is included in other liabilities since payment is not due within the next respective fiscal year. - 11 - 11. INCOME TAXES The Company files a consolidated Federal income tax return with its wholly-owned subsidiaries. State and local income tax returns are filed on an unconsolidated basis. For fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 state and local income taxes of $4,219, $4,705 and $3,929, respectively, were provided. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $45,661,000 for Federal income tax purposes which expire in the tax years 2000 through 2010. The difference between the effective rate and the statutory rate is primarily due to state and local income taxes and the inability to recognize the benefit of the loss carryforwards. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows: February 3, 1996 January 28, 1995 Current Noncurrent Current Noncurrent Deferred tax assets: Operating loss carryforwards $ -- $ 18,227,539 $ -- $ 11,392,167 Temporary differences 3,685,157 2,680,314 526,431 2,278,846 ------------ -------------- ----------- -------------- Subtotal 3,685,157 20,907,853 526,431 13,671,013 Deferred tax liabilities: Temporary Differences 931,777 -- 233,263 -- ------------ -------------- ----------- -------------- Net 2,753,380 20,907,853 293,168 13,671,013 Valuation allowance (2,753,380) (20,907,853) (293,168) (13,671,013) ------------ -------------- ----------- -------------- Net deferred tax assets $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- ============ ============== =========== ============== The primary sources of temporary differences are the adoption of uniform capitalization for tax purposes pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, excess book depreciation over tax depreciation, amortization of leases with scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis, amortization of preopening expenses, the impairment of long-lived assets, and excess book over tax basis of inventory. The valuation allowance relates to temporary differences that currently cannot be realized for Federal, state and local purposes because future taxable income cannot be reasonably assured. 12. REORGANIZATION ITEMS In 1995, reorganization items consisted of the following: Restructuring costs due to facilities closing: Lease rejection obligations $2,054,022 Provisions for abandoned property and equipment 2,099,118 Other 228,428 Professional fees 93,090 ---------- Total reorganization items $4,474,658 ========== As discussed in Note 1, the Company rejected nine leases which were approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The lease obligations and related reserves for the facilities closings include numerous real property leases rejected and amounts for other executory contracts that have been identified for rejection pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code - 12 - and are reflected at the estimated amount of the eventually allowed claims of the lessors in the Chapter 11 case as prescribed by Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code for the rejection of leases. 13. LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE The following liabilities, including estimated obligations for lease rejections, are classified as liabilities subject to compromise at February 3, 1996. Accounts payable $ 700,402 Related parties 32,031,743 Trade financing credit facility 2,747,599 Rejected leases 1,583,062 Accrued expenses 741,318 ----------- $37,804,124 =========== Liabilities subject to compromise under reorganization proceedings include substantially all current and long-term unsecured debt as of the date of the Filing. Pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, payment of those liabilities may not be made except pursuant to a plan or reorganization or Bankruptcy Court order while the Debtor continues to operate as a debtor-in-possession. The Company has recorded an estimated liability for certain leases that have been rejected. While the Company believes that the amounts recorded reflect known claims at this time, the amounts actually claimed by creditors or allowed by the Bankruptcy Court may be different. In addition, the Company has guaranteed the lease of an affiliate of the Company who is unable to meet its obligation. The Company has made an estimate for this obligation but the actual amount has not been determined. 14. LINES OF CREDIT On February 1, 1996, the Bankruptcy Court entered a interim order approving the Debtor-In-Possession financing arrangement (the "DIP Facility") as provided under the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of January 31, 1996 between the Company and Marine Midland Bank ("Marine Midland"). The final order was approved on February 22, 1996. Pursuant to the terms of the DIP Facility, which expires on January 31, 1997, Marine Midland made available to the Company a revolving line of credit not to exceed $3,500,000. No amount was outstanding as of February 3, 1996. Borrowings under the DIP Facility may be used to fund working capital, inventory purchases and other general corporate purposes. The DIP Facility requires the maintenance of minimum earnings starting February 4, 1996. The Company received a waiver for the noncompliance of the minimum earning requirements for the period February 4, 1996 through April 27, 1996. During the year, the Company had a trade financing credit facility with Hong Kong Shanghai Bank for the import of goods purchased from its parent. The financing terms were prime less 0.5 percent due within 120 days of the document of acceptance date. - 13 - 15. PROFIT SHARING PLAN The Company has a 401(k) plan that covers substantially all employees with one year of service. The Company's contribution is equal to 50 percent of the eligible employee's contribution to a maximum contribution of 3 percent of compensation. The Company's contribution for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $75,434, $46,921 and $61,258, respectively. 16. COMMON STOCK The Company has authorized 3,000 shares of voting common stock at a par value of $0.1 per common stock. As of February 3, 1996, the Company had 3,000 shares of common stock outstanding. 17. PREFERRED STOCK The Company has authorized 316,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value of $100 per preferred stock. As of February 3, 1996, the Company had 266,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. The liquidation preference of the preferred stock is $100 per share. 18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases all of its stores, offices and warehouse. These leases expire at various dates through 2005. Some leases contain options to renew for a term of four or five years. The leases on stores generally provide for payment of real estate taxes, common area charges and for additional rent based primarily on percentage of sales. Many of the Company's leases provide for minimum lease payments, which increase at fixed rates during the lease terms. The Company records rent expense incurred under its leases on a straight-line basis over the lives of the underlying leases. Deferred rent represents the excess of rental expense over amounts paid to landlords for these leases. Future minimum lease payments at February 3, 1996 (which do not include rejected leases) for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter are as follows: Fiscal Operating Year Leases 1996 $ 3,373,208 1997 3,166,396 1998 2,909,619 1999 2,106,229 2000 2,161,934 Thereafter 5,153,333 ----------- Minimum lease payments $18,870,719 =========== The future minimum lease payments noted above relates to stores sold to Mothers Work. (See Note 19 for further discussion.) - 14 - Rental expense for operating leases consisted of: February 3, January 28, 1996 1995 Minimum rentals $5,018,583 $5,152,119 Straight-line rent 1,041 87,660 ---------- ---------- Total $5,019,624 $5,239,779 ========== ========== 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Effective June 1, 1996, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, Mothers Work, Inc. ("Mothers Work") purchased all of the assets of 21 of the Company stores plus additional inventory located at an outside warehouse. The assets sold under the Asset Purchase Agreement include the leases, the tangible leasehold assets, inventory supplies, inventory and security deposits. The Company will receive approximately $7 million from the sale of these assets which consists of (a) $4 million in Mothers Work common stock, (b) $2 million in cash, (c) an amount equal to security deposits held by the Company's landlords of approximately $100,000 and (d) an adjustment to common stock if the inventory at the closing date is less than or exceeds $4.1 million. It is estimated that this adjustment will result in an increase in the purchase price by approximately $900,000. As of June 14, 1996, the Company has received approximately $2,099,000 in cash. In addition, the Company entered into a Trademark License Agreement with Mothers Work for the exclusive right to use the trademark "Episode" in the United States for which it will receive a maximum of $4.5 million in royalties based on all sales in Episode Stores. ****** - 15 - MOTHERS WORK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) BASIS OF PRESENTATION: On June 1, 1996, the Company acquired leases, associated assets and inventory of 21 stores of Episode for $7.3 million, including transaction costs. Approximately $2.3 million was paid in cash and $5.0 million was paid through the issuance of 217,365 shares of Mothers Work common stock. The purchase price was allocated to the fair value of the net assets acquired under the purchase method of accounting. Simultaneously, with the purchase of the aforementioned assets, the Company entered into a trademark licensing agreement and distribution agreement to operate the Episode stores in their current format and under their current name. The trademark licensing agreement is for an initial term of five years, automatically renewable for successive one year periods, unless terminated by either party. The Company will license the Episode trademark, payable through a royalty of 5% of Episode store sales, not to exceed $4.5 million over the term of the agreement. Additionally, on May 31, 1996, in order to pay the cash portion of the purchase price for the Episode assets referenced above, to finance the opening of additional stores and for general working capital purposes, the Company consummated a private placement of an aggregate of 200,000 shares of its common stock to an institutional investor. The purchase price for the shares was $22.25 per share, and the net proceeds to the Company, after deducting commissions and other expenses, were $4.4 million. During the year ended September 30, 1995, in separate transactions, the Company completed the acquisitions of Motherhood Maternity Shops, Inc. ("Motherhood") and A Pea in the Pod, Inc. ("Pea"). On August 1, 1995, concurrent with the Motherhood acquisition, Mothers Work issued $92 million in face amount of 12.625% senior notes ("Notes") at a price equal to 97.934% of the face amount. Together with the issuance of the Notes, the outstanding indebtedness incurred in the Pea acquisition was repaid. The Motherhood purchase price was approximately $34 million, including transaction costs, of which $22.5 million was paid in cash and $11.5 million was paid through the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") to the Sellers. On April 5, 1995 the Company purchased Pea for approximately $25.5 million in cash, including transaction costs, and the assumption of $2.5 million in funded debt. The Motherhood audited financial statements are included in the Mothers Work Form 8-K dated August 14, 1995, and the Pea audited financial statements are included in the Mothers Work Form 8-K dated April 5, 1995.

The pro forma financial information has been prepared on the basis of assumptions described in the notes thereto and includes assumptions relating to the allocation of the consideration paid in connection with the acquisitions of Episode, Motherhood and Pea to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of their respective fair values. The actual allocation of such consideration may differ from that reflected in the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements after final valuations, liabilities and other studies have been completed. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and upon certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable.

The components of the adjustment to net interest expense are as follows: Six Months Year Ended Ended September 30, March 31, 1995 1996 ------------ ---------- Senior Notes $ 9,679,000 $ -- Real Estate Loans 504,000 142,000 Amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount 410,000 -- Less: Interest expense on debt to be repaid with the proceeds of the offering of the Notes (5,027,000) -- ----------- --------- $ 5,566,000 $ 142,000 =========== ========= F-7 (8) The extinguishment of the existing debt mentioned above results in a one-time charge of approximately $6,387,000 representing an estimated prepayment premium of $3,625,000, the write-off of deferred financing costs of $1,787,000 million and unamortized original issue discount of $975,000. This charge was recorded as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax benefit, in the statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 1995 and has been eliminated in the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The extraordinary item, net of the related income tax benefit, is reflected in Retained Earnings of the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 1996. (9) In conjunction with the Pea acquisition, the Company identified 38 Mothers Work stores and 15 Pea stores to be closed. As of March 31, 1996 all such stores have been closed.

Further, reflects the elimination of $4,945,000 of non-recurring loss on impairment of assets, recorded in January, 1996 in connection with the sale of certain assets to Mothers Work. All interest expense has been eliminated as the acquisition and subsequent working capital needs are assumed to be financed through the sale of common stock reflected above.
