reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and NASDAQ. Officers,
directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC
regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or
written representations from certain reporting persons that no Section

                                       5

F/B/O A. Holtzman Garcia and Custodial Account F/B/O Chelsea Holtzman and

1999 of 3,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, and Messrs. Poole, McMullin

(1) The exercise price is equal to the fair market value of a share of Common
    Stock on the grant date. The amounts shown as potential realizable value
    illustrate what might be realized upon exercise immediately prior to
    expiration of the option term using the 5% and 10% appreciation rates
    established in regulations of the SEC, compounded annually. The potential
    realizable value is not intended to predict future appreciation of the price
    of the Company's Common Stock. The values shown do not consider
    nontransferability, vesting or termination of the options upon termination
    of employment.

(2) Granted outside the Company's 1991 Option Plan as an inducement to Mr. Carey
    entering into an employment agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the

    Plan. As such, each of Messrs. Carey, Nace and Poole's stock options
    automatically vested on February 23, 1999.

Compensation of Directors

    Directors who are officers or employees of the Company receive no
compensation for service as Directors. Directors who are not officers or
employees of the Company receive such compensation for their services as the
Board of Directors may from time to time determine. Non-employee Directors each
receive an annual retainer of $5,000, plus a fee of $2,500 for each Board of
Directors meeting attended ($500 if such meeting is held via telephone
conference) and $1,000 for each committee meeting attended ($500 if such meeting
is held via telephone conference) if such meeting does not take place in
conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board of Directors meeting. All Directors
are reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings.

    In order to align stockholder and Director interests, in 1992 the Board of
Directors established the 1992 Non-Employee Directors' Nonqualified Stock Option
Plan (the "1992 Option Plan"). Pursuant to the 1992 Option Plan, each eligible
non-employee Director automatically receives an option to purchase 3,000 shares
of Common Stock on the last day of the Company's fiscal year. All options
granted pursuant to the 1992 Option Plan vest and are immediately exercisable
upon grant. All options granted under the 1992 Option Plan have an exercise
price equal to 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the
grant date. On May 29, 1999, the then eligible non-employee Directors of the
Company each received an option to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $.84375 per share, the fair market value of the Common Stock
on May 28, 1999.

Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on Executive
Compensation

    During certain portions of Fiscal 1999, the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company consisted of the following Directors: Timothy
B. Donaldson, Ilene B. Jacobs, C. William Carey, Melanie L. Sturm, Peter R.
McMullin and Adriane J. Dudley. During Fiscal 1999, other than Mr. Carey who
served as Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Company from September 1998 to
April 1999, all of the members of the Compensation Committee were outside
Directors. The current members of the Compensation Committee are Ms. Sturm and
Mr. McMullin.

    Ms. Jacobs resigned as a member of the Board of Directors effective
September 14, 1998 and, on such date, the Compensation Committee was
reconstituted with Messrs. Carey and Donaldson. In connection with the
settlement of the proxy contest with Donald L. Sturm and Seymour Holtzman, Mr.
Donaldson resigned as a member of the Board of Directors and the Compensation
Committee effective April 7, 1999, and Mr. Carey did not stand for re-election
at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 7, 1999. Thereafter, Mr.
McMullin and Messes. Sturm and Dudley were appointed to the Compensation
Committee on April 7, 1999. Ms. Dudley resigned as a member of the Board of
Directors and of the Compensation Committee effective June 4, 1999 and, on such
date the Compensation Committee was reconstituted with Ms. Sturm and Mr.
McMullin.

    The Compensation Committee approves Company compensation policies and
procedures and establishes compensation levels for executive officers. The
Compensation Committee also administers and grants awards under the 1991 Option
Plan and the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

    Compensation Policies for Executive Officers

    The Compensation Committee's executive compensation philosophy is to provide
competitive levels of compensation, integrate management's pay with Company
performance, reward above average individual performance, and assist the Company
in attracting and retaining qualified management. The Compensation Committee has
determined that base salaries of executive officers should be set at levels that
are competitive within the local retail industry. In addition, the Compensation
Committee believes that it is appropriate to reward outstanding performance
through a combination of cash bonuses and stock option grants and, through stock
option grants, to provide a competitive compensation package that will enable
the Company to attract and retain the executives needed to achieve such
performance. The Compensation Committee also has determined that any stock
option or other equity-based compensation should involve long-term vesting to
encourage long-term tenure and enhancement of shareholder value over the long-
term.

    Base salaries for executive officers are targeted according to the salaries
of employees holding similar offices and having similar responsibilities within
the local retail industry. The Compensation Committee also considers the
relative cost of living within the United States Virgin Islands. Annual salary
adjustments for executive officers are determined by evaluating the competitive
marketplace, the performance of the Company, the performance of the executive
officer and any change in the responsibilities assumed by the executive officer.
Salary adjustments, if any, are normally determined and made on an annual basis.
The base salary and salary adjustments for John E. Toler, Jr., President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company during a portion of Fiscal 1999, were
established pursuant to his employment agreement, as described below under "--
Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment." See "--Compensation of John E.
Toler, Jr., Former Chief Executive Officer" below. The base salary and salary
adjustments for C. William Carey, Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Company
during a portion of Fiscal 1999, were established pursuant to his employment
agreement, as described below under "--Employment Contracts, Termination of
Employment." See "--Compensation of C. William Carey, Former Acting Executive
Officer" below. The base salary for Kenneth W. Watson, Acting Chief Executive
Officer of the Company during a portion of Fiscal 1999, were established
pursuant to the terms of his employment arrangement, as described below under
"--Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment." See "--Compensation of
Kenneth W. Watson, Former Acting Chief Executive Officer" below. The terms of
employment of William K. Canfield, Vice President of Store Operations, Michael
M. Poole, Vice President and General Merchandise Manager, Raoul Mills, Vice
President of Distribution and David J. Nace, the Chief Financial Officer,
Executive Vice President and Treasurer of the Company as of the end of Fiscal
1999, were determined by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of
Directors.

    Cash bonuses paid to executive officers generally are earned primarily
through the achievement of financial goals relative to each officer's
responsibilities. Such financial goals include targeted sales and profit levels,
earnings before interest and taxes ratios, selling, general and administrative
expense ratios, return on assets, inventory shrinkage and inventory turns. Cash
bonuses may also be paid to executive officers in accordance with the terms of
their employment agreements. Bonuses payable pursuant to such agreements
generally are earned through the achievement of the financial goals similar to
those discussed above and may also be awarded for executive retention purposes
in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to their
respective employment contracts, Messrs. Nace, Poole, Canfield and Mills were
each eligible to earn a bonus of up to 25% of their respective base salaries for
Fiscal 1999. In addition, Mr. Toler was eligible to earn a bonus of up to 45.83%
of his base salary for Fiscal 1999 and Mr. Carey was eligible to earn a bonus of
up to a maximum of $50,000 per quarter for Fiscal 1999. See "--Compensation of
John E. Toler, Jr., Former Chief Executive Officer," "--Compensation of C.
William Carey, Former Acting Chief Executive Officer" and "--Employment
Contracts, Termination of Employment" below. Mr. Watson was not entitled to
receive a bonus for his services rendered as Acting Chief Executive Officer of
the Company during Fiscal 1999. Occasionally, cash bonuses are paid to

                                      11
<PAGE>

executive officers for the performance of services to the Company outside the
scope of their offices, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors of the Company.

    Stock options are designed to attract and retain executives who can make
significant contributions to the Company's success; reward executives for such
significant contributions; and give executives a longer-term incentive to
increase shareholder value. In determining whether to grant stock options to
executive officers, the Compensation Committee evaluates each officer's
performance by examining criteria similar to that involved in fixing cash
bonuses (but without any specific performance measures) and awards reflect
individual performance reviews. The Compensation Committee also may grant stock
options for executive retention purposes, taking into account, among other
things, general industry practice. Stock options typically vest over three to
five years in order to encourage outstanding performance over the long-term.
Historically, stock options generally have been granted with a ten-year term and
an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the grant date. Upon the execution of the Merger, dated as of February 4, 1998,
with Destination Retail Holdings Corporation ("DRHC") and certain of its
affiliates (the "Merger Agreement"), all unvested stock options on the date of
the execution of the Merger Agreement automatically vested pursuant to the terms
of the 1991 Option Plan. Upon the execution of the Settlement Agreement, all
unvested stock options on the date of the execution of the Settlement Agreement
automatically vested pursuant to the terms of either the 1991 Option Plan or the
Stock Option Agreements with respect to options granted outside of the 1991
Option Plan.

Compensation of John E. Toler, Jr., Former Chief Executive Officer

    The base salary for Mr. Toler, the Company's President and Chief Executive
Officer during a portion of Fiscal 1999, was established by Mr. Toler's
employment agreement (the "Toler Employment Agreement"). For a complete
description see "--Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment." In
connection with his resignation, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement,
dated August 14, 1998 (the "Toler Letter Agreement"), pursuant to which Mr.
Toler received an aggregate amount equal to $19,883 as payment for certain fees
and expenses upon his resignation as President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company. In addition, pursuant to the Toler Letter Agreement, Mr. Toler
received a one time stay bonus equal to $4,000 and is entitled to purchase any
and all of the Company's merchandise, at the Company's cost, up to a maximum
aggregate amount equal to $20,000 until August 31, 1999. See "--Employment
Contracts, Termination of Employment" below. Additionally, pursuant to the terms
of Mr. Toler's employment agreement, on November 1, 1995, the Company granted
Mr. Toler an option to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at
$3.50 per share pursuant to the 1991 Option Plan. This option automatically
vested upon the execution of the Merger Agreement with DRHC pursuant to the
terms of the 1991 Option Plan. In connection with his resignation, the Board of
Directors amended his option agreement so that he may exercise the option after
the termination of his employment with the Company at any time prior to
September 1, 2000, upon which date the option shall expire.

Compensation of C. William Carey, Former Acting Chief Executive Officer

    The base salary for Mr. Carey, Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Company
during a portion of Fiscal 1999, was established by Mr. Carey's Employment
Agreement, dated September 1, 1998 (the "CWC Employment Agreement"). For a
complete description see "--Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment." In
connection with his resignation, the Company entered in to a Severance
Agreement, dated February 23, 1999 (the "CWC Severance Agreement") pursuant to
which Mr. Carey received an aggregate amount equal to $29,167 in base salary on
the effective date of his resignation as Acting Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the CWC Severance Agreement, Mr.
Carey (i) received $50,000 as a bonus for the Company's third quarter of Fiscal
1999, (ii) is entitled to purchase any and all of the Company's merchandise, at
the Company's cost, for his personal use until

March 17, 2002, (iii) will be reimbursed for the premiums associated with
continuation of medical coverage under COBRA and (iv) was reimbursed for the
legal expenses he incurred in connection with the negotiation of the CWC
Severance Agreement. In connection with his appointment as the Acting Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, the Company granted Mr. Carey an option to
purchase 150,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $2.25 per share outside
of the 1991 Option Plan as an inducement to Mr. Carey entering into his
employment agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Carey's
Stock Option Agreement, this option automatically vested as a result of the
execution of the Settlement Agreement. In connection with his resignation and
pursuant to the terms of the Stock Option Agreement, Mr. Carey may exercise this
option until April 7, 2001.

Compensation of Kenneth W. Watson, Former Acting Chief Executive Officer

    The base salary for Mr. Watson, Acting Chief Executive Officer of the
Company during a portion of Fiscal 1999, was established by terms set forth in
Schedule C of the Settlement Agreement. Mr. Watson received a monthly salary of
$30,000 per month. In addition, Mr. Watson received reimbursement for all
reasonable living expenses. Mr. Watson was not entitled to receive a bonus for
his services rendered as Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Federal Tax Regulations

    As a result of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), the
Company's deduction of executive compensation may be limited to the extent that
a "covered employee" (i.e., the chief executive officer or one of the four
highest compensated officers who is employed on the last day of the Company's
taxable year and whose compensation is reported in the summary compensation
table in the Company's proxy statement) receives compensation in excess of
$1,000,000 in such taxable year of the Company (other than performance-based
compensation that otherwise meets the requirements of Section 162(m) of the
Code). The Company intends to take appropriate action to comply with such
regulations, if applicable, in the future.

    The report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on
executive compensation is made by each of the current members of the
Compensation Committee listed below:

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

    Mr. Carey, a former director and officer of the Company, entered into the
CWC Consulting Agreement with the Company on June 2, 1996, which provided, among
other things, that Mr. Carey would receive in exchange for certain services a
consulting fee at the annual rate of $150,000 over a three-year term, as well as
reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by him on behalf of the
Company in connection with the performance of his obligations thereunder. In
connection with his position as Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
the Company terminated the CWC Consulting Agreement effective September 1, 1998.
Mr. Carey received $37,500 in lieu of the three-month notification necessary
pursuant to the CWC Consulting Agreement to terminate such agreement. See
"Executive Compensation--Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation."

    On September 1, 1998, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
Mr. Carey with respect to his position as Acting Chief Executive Officer and
President of the Company. For a description of certain terms of such agreement,
see "Executive Compensation--Employment Agreements, Termination of Employment."

    In connection with his resignation as Acting Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, Mr. Carey entered into a severance agreement. In addition, Mr. Carey
entered into a new consulting agreement with the Company, which expires on
October 7, 1999. For a description of certain terms of such agreements, see
"Executive Compensation--Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation".

    To modify a previously existing agreement, on February 23, 1999, the Company
entered into an amended and restated success fee agreement with Mr. Carey (the
"Amended Success Fee Agreement") which narrowed the scope of the Success Fee
Agreement, dated as of January 15, 1999 (the "Old Success Fee Agreement"),
between the Company and Mr. Carey. The Old Success Fee Agreement provided for
the payment of a fee if Mr. Carey actively participated in the negotiation,
structuring and closing of a transaction or a series of related transactions
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company that are a tender or exchange
offer, merger, reorganization, consolidation or other business combination that
directly result in the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of the issued
and outstanding stock of the Company. Under the Amended Success Fee Agreement,
the Company is only obligated to pay Mr. Carey a fee if the Company requests in
writing that he participate in such a transaction. If the Company requests Mr.
Carey's participation in such a transaction, as compensation for all such
services, Mr. Carey is entitled to receive an amount equal to 83.33% of two-
thirds of one percent of the aggregate value (as defined in the Amended Success
Fee Agreement) of any such transaction. In addition, no payment will be due Mr.
Carey if such transaction involves any person, company or entity (i) that is
operated by Mr. Carey, (ii) for which Mr. Carey is performing or has performed,
in the twelve (12) months preceding the execution of the definitive documents
relating to such transaction, any material advisory or consulting services,
(iii) that employs Mr. Carey or (iv) in which Mr. Carey owns or has an agreement
to own more than an one percent (1%) equity interest in a privately-held
corporation or a five percent (5%) equity interest in a publicly-held
corporation. The Amended Success Fee Agreement automatically terminates on
January 15, 2000 if the closing of any such transaction does not occur by such
date.

    Mr. Toler, a former director of the Company, served as President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company until his resignation as such on August 31,
1998. In connection with his resignation, the Company entered into the Toler
Letter Agreement. For a description of the terms of Mr. Toler's employment
agreement and the Toler Letter Agreement, see "Executive Compensation--
Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment."

    Mr. Watson served as Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective
as of April 7, 1999 until his resignation as such effective August 17, 1999. For
a description of the terms of his employment, see "Executive Compensation--
Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment."

Clark & Chan, of which Ms. Dudley, a former Director of the Company, is the
senior partner, as its local law firm in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I. Based on
