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 1996
Annual Report.

Note 2 - 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. Eight
stores were closed during fiscal years 1995 and 1996, with the remaining store
being closed in February 1997.

During the first quarter of 1997 charges applied against the restructuring
reserve include cash expenditures of $83,000 for store closing costs and
$167,000 for equipment and leasehold improvement write-offs. The remaining
reserve of $68,000 will be utilized primarily for lease termination costs.

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 if management is unable to negotiate an acceptable lease
termination agreement with the landlord.

========== ==========




Net Sales

Net sales increased $1.1 million to $59.3 million in the first quarter of 1997,
a 1.9% increase over net sales of $58.2 million in the comparable prior year
period. The increase was attributable to a 4.4% comparable store sales increase
and the sales generated by the five new stores opened in 1996, partially offset
by the reduction in sales for the nine stores closed in 1996 and 1997. The
comparable store sales increase was supported with increases in all major
product categories. Average footwear unit prices in comparable stores increased
12.6% while footwear unit sales decreased 7.4%. Sales of private label and
non-name brand footwear constituted 16.3% of total footwear sales in the first
quarter of 1997 as compared with 16.0% in the prior year quarter.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $2.0 million to $18.3 million in the first quarter of
1997, a 12.1% increase over gross profit of $16.3 million in the comparable
prior year period. The Company's gross profit margin increased to 30.9% from
28.1%. As a percentage of sales, buying, distribution and occupancy costs
decreased 0.3%. The increase in

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


merchandise gross profit margin of 2.5% of sales was broad based with all major
product categories improving over the comparable prior year period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $695,000 to $15.0 million
in the first quarter of 1997 from $14.3 million in the comparable prior year
period. As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased 0.8%. Excluding the
effect of a $650,000 nonrecurring charge related to the retirement of David H.
Russell, former vice chairman, president and chief executive officer, selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales decreased 0.3% to
24.3%. Total pre-opening costs for the two stores opened in the first quarter of
1996 were $240,000 or 0.4% of sales. No stores were opened in the first quarter
of 1997.

Interest Expense

The reduction in net interest expense to $231,000 in the first quarter of 1997
from $439,000 in the first quarter of 1996 resulted from a combination of
reduced borrowings and lower interest rates.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate of 40.5% and 41.0% in the first quarters of 1997
and 1996 respectively 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 used in operating
activities was $3.6 million during the first quarter of 1997. Excluding changes
in operating assets and liabilities, cash provided by operating activities was
$3.4 million in the first quarter of 1997. An increase in merchandise
inventories of $4.9 million and a reduction in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities of $2.3 million were partially offset by the $3.4 million in cash
generated by operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities. The
increase in merchandise inventories was primarily due to seasonal fluctuations.

Working capital increased to $52.4 million at May 3, 1997 from $45.1 million at
February 1, 1997 and the current ratio improved to 4.4 to 1 from 3.5 to 1.
Long-term debt as a percentage of total capital was 18.5% at May 3, 1997,
compared to 13.1% at February 1, 1997.

Capital expenditures were $1.7 million in the first quarter of 1997. Of these
expenditures, approximately $1.1 million was incurred for the remodeling of
certain stores. The remaining capital expenditures in the first quarter of 1997
were primarily for technological improvements in the stores and distribution
center.

The Company intends to open three or four stores in the second half of 1997. Two
stores were closed in the first quarter of 1997. The Company opened two stores
in the first quarter of 1996 and closed four stores.

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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


As part of the Company's effort to upgrade the image of its stores, a new
prototype design has been utilized in all new and remodeled stores since the
fourth quarter of 1995. The size of stores utilizing the new prototype design
has increased from 10,000 square feet to between 12,000 and 18,000 square feet
depending upon, among other factors, the location of the store and the
population base the store is expected to service. Accordingly, capital
expenditures for new stores have increased to an average of approximately
$450,000, including point-of-sale equipment which is generally acquired through
equipment leasing transactions. The average inventory investments in a new store
is expected to range from $550,000 to $850,000, depending on the size and sales
expectation of the store and the timing of the new store opening. Pre-opening
expenses, such as advertising, salaries, supplies and utilities, are expected to
average $60,000 to $80,000 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. The
credit agreement limits capital expenditures in 1997 to $12 million. Borrowings
and letters of credit outstanding under this facility at May 3, 1997 were $14
million and $4.6 million, respectively.

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.
