NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Unaudited

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
- - ------------------------------
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures
normally included in notes to financial statements have been condensed or
omitted according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and financial notes thereto included in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report.

Note 2 - Long-Term Debt
- - -----------------------

During fiscal 1995, the Company had an unsecured $40 million credit agreement
(the "Credit Agreement") with a bank group which provided for a $30 million
revolving line of credit and a $10 million line of credit reserved for the
issuance of letters of credit. The Company was in violation of certain
financial ratio covenants contained in the Credit Agreement for the year ended
February 3, 1996. These covenant violations were waived by the bank group on
April 3, 1996.

On April 10, 1996, the Credit Agreement, including the financial covenants
contained therein, was amended, reducing the total credit facility to $35
million. Sublimits for cash borrowings and letter of credit issuances were
eliminated under the amended Credit Agreement. Borrowings are based on
eligible inventory and bear interest, at the Company's option, at the agent
bank's prime rate or the applicable London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
plus from 1.0% to 2.0%, depending on the Company's achievement of certain
performance criteria. A commitment fee of .25% per annum is charged on the
unused portion of the first $30 million of the bank group's commitment. The
Credit Agreement contains various restrictive and financial covenants,
including the maintenance of specific financial ratios, and a limitation on
the payment of dividends. The most restrictive covenant limits capital
expenditures to $8 million in fiscal 1996. The Company was in compliance with
all covenants in the amended agreement for the quarter ended May 4, 1996, and
expects to maintain compliance for the remainder of fiscal 1996. The Credit
Agreement expires on November 14, 1997.

Note 3 - Restructuring Charge
- - -----------------------------
In the fourth quarters of 1995 and 1994, the Company recorded restructuring
charges related to its plan to close a total of nine unprofitable stores. Of
the nine stores, one was closed in January 1995, four in the first quarter of
1996 and two in May 1996. The remaining two stores are expected to be closed
during the remainder of 1996. An analysis of the amounts charged against the
reserve are outlined in the following table:

Thirteen
Weeks Ended
May 4, 1996
-------------
(In thousands)
Beginning restructuring reserve $3,468

Costs applied against reserve:
Store closing and lease termination costs (764)
Equipment and leasehold improvements
write-offs (662)
------
Ending restructuring reserve $2,042
======

In the aggregate, the eight stores expected to be closed in 1996 generated
sales of $9.6 million and operating losses of $1.8 million (including
depreciation expense of $375,000) during 1995. For the first quarter of 1996
these eight stores generated sales of $2.6 million compared to $2.2 million in
the first quarter of 1995. An aggregate loss of approximately $1 million was
incurred in the operations of the stores in the first quarter of 1996,
compared to an aggregate loss of approximately $300,000 incurred by these
stores in the first quarter of 1995.

Total cash expenditures of $1 million in the first quarter of 1996 consisted
of $764,000 for lease termination and store closing costs and $276,000 for the
repayment of lease incentives which were recorded as a deferred liability.
Expected cash requirements for the remainder of 1996 of $1.5 million are for
the lease termination and store closing costs of $1.3 million and for the
repayment of $200,000 of lease incentives.

The restructuring charges include management's best estimates of amounts
required to be paid for store closing and lease termination costs. The total
amount of the cash payments ultimately required could differ materially from
the amounts recorded.

Restructuring
- - -------------

In the fourth quarter of 1995 the Company's management adopted a plan to close
eight unprofitable stores during its 1996 fiscal year. Four stores were
closed in the first quarter of 1996 and two additional stores were closed on
May 15, 1996. Sales generated by the eight stores which have either been
closed or are expected to be closed were $2.6 million in the first quarter of
1996, compared to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 1995. An aggregate
loss of approximately $1 million was incurred in the operation of these eight
stores in the first quarter of 1996, compared to an aggregate loss of
approximately $300,000 incurred by these stores in the first quarter of 1995.

The reserve established for expected restructuring costs was $3.5 million at
February 3, 1996. Costs incurred by the Company and applied against such
reserve were $1.4 million in the first quarter of 1996, including $662,000 for
the write-off of fixed assets. Cash expenditures for lease termination and
store closing costs and the repayment of lease incentives were $1.0 million in
the first quarter. (See Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Financial Statements)

The following table sets forth the Company's results of operations expressed
as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated:

Net Sales
- - ---------

Net sales increased $3.1 million to $58.2 million in the first quarter of
1996, a 5.7% increase over net sales of $55.1 million in the comparable prior
year period. The increase was attributable to sales generated by nine new
stores opened in 1995, two new stores opened in the first quarter of 1996, and
an increase in sales generated by stores in which the Company is conducting
store closing sales, partially offset by a comparable store sales decrease of
3.0% when compared to the thirteen week quarter ended April 29, 1995. Due to
the inclusion of 53 weeks in the Company's 1995 fiscal year, the ending date
of each quarter in 1996 is one week later than the ending date of each quarter
in 1995. On a comparable week basis, comparable store sales declined by 4.4%.
Comparable store sales results exclude in both years the sales generated by
stores the Company has either closed or expects to close in 1996.

Sales of private label and non-name brand footwear constituted 16.0% of total
footwear sales in the first quarter of 1996 as compared with 21.2% in the
prior year quarter. This reduction is due to the Company's strategy of
reducing the percentage of women's private label footwear inventory relative
to the total women's inventory.

Gross Profit
- - ------------

Gross profit increased $2.2 million to $16.4 million in the first quarter of
1996, a 15.2% increase over gross profit of $14.2 million in the comparable
prior year period. The Company's gross profit margin increased to 28.1% from
25.8%. As a percentage of sales, buying, distribution and occupancy costs
decreased 0.1%. The increase in merchandise gross profit margin of 2.2% of
sales resulted primarily from increased gross profit margins on the sale of
men's and women's private label footwear.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
- - --------------------------------------------

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million to $14.3
million in the first quarter of 1996 from $13.2 million in the comparable
prior year period. As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased 0.6% as
a result of higher store-level labor costs and the effect of the comparable
store sales decrease, partially offset by lower advertising costs. Total pre-
opening costs for the two stores opened in the first quarter of 1996 were
$240,000 or 0.4% of sales, as compared to $159,000 or 0.3% of sales, for the
three stores opened in the first quarter of 1995.



10
10
Interest Expense
- - ----------------

The reduction in net interest expense to $439,000 in the first quarter of 1996
from $483,000 in the first quarter of 1995 resulted from a combination of
reduced borrowings and lower interest rates.

Income Taxes
- - ------------

The effective income tax rate of 41.0% in the first quarters of 1996 and 1995
differed from the statutory federal rates due primarily to state and local
income taxes, net of the federal tax benefit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

The Company's primary sources of funds are cash flows from operations and
borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Net cash provided by
operating activities was $1.8 million during the first quarter of 1996.
Excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities, cash provided by
operating activities was $2.9 million in the first quarter of 1996.

Working capital increased to $51.9 million at May 4, 1996 from $50.2 million
at February 3, 1996 and the current ratio improved to 4.1 to 1 from 3.4 to 1.
Long-term debt as a percentage of total capital was 24.7% at May 4, 1996,
compared to 24.1% at February 3, 1996.

Capital expenditures were $1.9 million in the first quarter of 1996 (including
$147,000 of capital lease assets). Of these expenditures, approximately
$817,000 was incurred for new stores. The remaining capital expenditures in
the first quarter of 1996 were primarily for the remodeling of certain stores

The Company intends to open approximately five stores in 1996, including the
two stores opened in the first quarter. Two stores are expected to be opened
in the second quarter of 1996. The Company opened three stores in the first
quarter of 1995 and no stores in the second quarter of 1995.

The actual amount of the Company's cash requirements for capital expenditures
depends in part on the number of new stores opened, the amount of lease
incentives, if any, received from landlords and the number of stores
remodeled. The opening of new stores will be dependent upon, among other
things, the availability of desirable locations, the negotiation of acceptable
lease terms and general economic and business conditions affecting consumer
spending in areas the Company targets for expansion.

The average inventory investment in a new store is expected to range from
$550,000 to $850,000, depending on the size and sales expectations of the
store and the timing of the new store opening. Capital expenditures for the
new stores are expected to average approximately $450,000, including point-of-
sale equipment which is generally acquired through equipment leasing


11
11
transactions. In addition, pre-opening expenses, such as advertising,
salaries, supplies and utilities, typically average $60,000 to $70,000 per
store.

The Company's $35 million credit facility provides for a combination of cash
advances on a revolving basis and the issuance of commercial letters of
credit. Borrowings under the revolving credit line are based on eligible
inventory. Borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under this facility
at May 4, 1996 were $18.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

The credit agreement to which the credit facility is subject contains certain
restrictive and financial covenants, including the maintenance of specific
financial ratios and a limitation on the payment of dividends. The most
restrictive covenants limit capital expenditures to $8 million in fiscal 1996
and require a minimum net worth (as defined) of $59.5 million at the end of
the first and second quarters and $60.0 million at the end of the third and
fourth quarters of 1996. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at
May 4, 1996.

The Company anticipates that its existing cash and cash flow from operations,
supplemented by borrowings under the credit facility will be sufficient to
fund its planned expansion and other operating cash requirements for at least
the next 12 months.

Seasonality
- - -----------

The Company's quarterly results of operations have fluctuated, and are
expected to continue to fluctuate in the future primarily as a result of
seasonal variances and the timing of sales and costs associated with opening
new stores. Non-capital expenditures, such as advertising and payroll,
incurred prior to opening of a new store are charged to expense in the month
the store is opened. Therefore, the Company's results of operations may be
adversely affected in any quarter in which the Company opens new stores.

The Company has three distinct selling periods: Easter, back-to-school
and Christmas.
