Store, Inc.) and subsidiaries for the quarters ended April 30, 1999 and May 1,
1998, as indicated in our report dated June 4, 1999; because we did not perform
an audit, we expressed no opinion on that information.

your Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 1999, is
being used in this Registration Statement.
