              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.       BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements,
which include the accounts of U.S. Vision, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiaries (the "Company"), have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. All significant
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 1999. These
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements
and footnotes which are included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended January 31, 1998.

2.       USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.       INVENTORY

         Inventory is as follows (In thousands):

4.       INCOME TAXES

         As of January 31, 1998, the Company had net operating loss carry
forwards of approximately $23,000,000 which will begin to expire in the year
2006. Approximately $12,500,000 of these carry forwards are available to offset
future taxable income without limitation and approximately $10,500,000 of these
carry forwards (the "Restricted NOLs") are significantly limited due to
ownership changes experienced by the Company. As a result of these limitations,
approximately $780,000 of the Restricted NOLs will become available for use each
year through the year 2008. The remaining Restricted NOLs are expected to expire
unutilized. A valuation allowance has been established to fully reserve the
future benefit of all the net operating loss carry forwards.

5.       NET INCOME PER SHARE

         In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".
Statement 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted
earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary
earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of
options, warrants, and convertible securities. The Company has adopted this
method effective January 31, 1998, and has restated, where necessary, all prior
periods presented to conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

         Pro forma net income per share - basic and pro forma net income per
share - assuming dilution for the three months ended April 30, 1997 was $0.30. 
Pro forma net income gives effect to the initial public offering and the related
pay down of the debt as of the beginning of fiscal 1997. Pro forma net income
per share - basic is calculated by dividing net income after adjustment for
applicable interest expense, net of tax ($549,000) by the adjusted number of
weighted average shares outstanding (7,761,544) after giving effect to the
2,500,000 shares sold to repay $20,375,000 of debt. Pro forma net income per
share - assuming dilution is calculated by dividing net income after adjustment
for applicable interest expense, net of tax by the adjusted number of weighted 
average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect
of stock options (107,157). (See Note 6 below).

6.       RECAPITALIZATION AND IMPACT OF INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

         On December 5, 1997, the Company completed an offering of 2,500,000
shares of common stock at an initial public offering price of $9.00 per share.
The net proceeds to the Company were used to: (i) repay the $8,837,000
outstanding balance (including any accrued interest thereon) of its 12%
subordinated debentures; (ii) repay $6,600,000 of the term loan owed to Commerce
Bank, N.A.; and (iii) paydown $4,938,000 of the Company's revolving line of
credit. In conjunction with the sale of common stock in the

offering, the Company recapitalized its common stock by authorizing the
declaration and payment of a 64- for-1 stock dividend. Also in conjunction with
the public offering, the holders of the Series A preferred stock and Series C
preferred stock converted all outstanding shares of the Series A preferred stock
and Series C preferred stock into common stock at the initial public offering
price. The redemption values of the Series A preferred stock and the Series C
preferred stock plus accumulated dividends as of the date of the conversion
(October 31, 1997) were approximately $16,853,000 and $7,969,000, respectively,
resulting in the issuance of 1,872,592 and 885,412 shares of common stock,
respectively. All references to per share data in the financial statements have
been restated to give effect to the stock dividend and conversion of the
preferred stock.

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997

        Net sales increased $3.4 million, or 11.0%, from $31.2 million for the
three months ended April 30, 1997 to $34.7 million for the three months ended
April 30, 1998. A 10.7% increase in comparable store sales accounted for $3.2
million of the increase in net sales and new store openings accounted for the
remaining $0.2 million of the increase. The increase in comparable store sales
was the result of an increase in the number of eyeglasses sold, as well as an
increase in sales of value added eyewear features such as anti-reflective
coating and accessory kits.

        Cost of sales increased by $1.0 million, or 10.4%, from $9.6 million for
the three months ended April 30, 1997 to $10.6 million for the three months
ended April 30, 1998. The increase was due principally to the $3.4 million
increase in net sales. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales remained
relatively constant, decreasing slightly from 30.9% for the three months ended
April 30, 1997 to 30.7% for the three months ended April 30, 1998.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.7 million,
or 9.2%, from $18.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 1997 to $20.0
million for the three months ended April 30, 1998. The dollar increase was
principally due to an increase in compensation and greater department store
rents which are tied directly to sales volume. As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from 58.5% for the three
months ended April 30, 1997 to 57.5% for the three months ended April 30, 1998,
as revenue increases enabled the Company to leverage its fixed expenses and take
advantage of operating efficiencies.

         Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.2 million, or 20.0%, from
$0.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 1997 to $1.1 million for the
three months ended April 30, 1998 due to the increase in capital expenditures
associated with the implementation of new management information systems.

         Interest expense, net decreased by $0.5 million, or 80.0%, from $0.6
million for the three months ended April 30, 1997 to $0.1 million for the three
months ended April 30, 1998. The decrease was due to the repayment of debt in
connection with the completion of the initial public offering in December 1997.
See Note 6 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's cash source for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was
from operations. The Company used excess cash flow to pay the entire
outstanding  balance on its line of credit. At April 30, 1998 the Company had
available cash and cash equivalents of $4.0 million compared to $365,000 at
January 31, 1998.
                 
         For the quarter ended April 30, 1998, cash provided by operating
activities was $7.7 million compared to $1.9 million for the quarter ended April
30, 1997. The $5.8 million increase in cash provided by operating activities
resulted from an increase in net income and favorable increases in accrued
expenses and accounts payable due to purchases of materials and advertising to
support first quarter revenues.

         Cash used in investing activities included net capital additions of
$1.8 million for the quarter ended April 30, 1998. The majority of the capital
additions were for store fixtures and leasehold improvements for new retail
stores and the remodeling of existing stores, machinery and equipment in the
manufacturing facility, and development costs of the new management information
systems.

         The Company's principal external source of liquidity is its $7.0
million revolving line of credit with Commerce Bank, N.A. The revolving line of
credit facility carries a floating interest rate of 0.5% above the prime rate,
which was 8.5% on April 30, 1998, is due December 1999 and renews automatically
for a one-year period, subject to either party's right to terminate by notice of
non-renewal. As of April 30, 1998, the Company had no outstanding balance under
its revolving line of credit and $7.0 million of availability. The loan
agreement prohibits the payment of dividends to common stockholders and contains
customary covenants. The Company must also maintain certain financial ratios
pertaining to its net worth, current ratio, and ratio of cash to fixed charges.
The Company is currently in compliance with all financial covenants and
management does not believe that the financial covenants set forth in its
revolving line of credit will have an adverse impact on its operations or future
plans.

         Regarding other financing activities engaged in by the Company, in
December 1996, the Company borrowed $8,000,000 through the placement of a term
loan, which is owed to Commerce Bank, N.A., carries a floating rate of 1.0%
above the prime rate, which was 8.5% on April 30, 1998. The term loan is secured
by substantially all the assets of the Company. The balance of the term loan, as
of April 30, 1998, was $214,000.

         In June 1998, the Company received a commitment from Commerce Bank,
N.A. for a new $20,000,000 revolving line of credit facility which will bear
interest at the lower of prime rate or thirty (30) day United States Treasury
Bills plus 250 basis points and will mature two years after its commencement
date. This facility will replace the Company's existing revolving credit
facility. The Company also received

<PAGE>   11
                               U.S. VISION, INC.


a commitment from Commerce BankLease, a unit of Commerce Bank, N.A., for a
$1,000,000 five-year equipment lease financing facility. Both the new revolving
credit facility and the lease financing facility are subject to the completion
of all required documentation.

         Based upon its current operating and new store opening plans, the
Company believes that it can fund its working capital and capital expenditure
needs for the foreseeable future through borrowings under the revolving line of
credit and cash generated from operations.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Comprehensive Income: Financial
Statement Presentation" and No. 131, "Segment Disclosures and Related
Information," which are both effective for financial statements issued with
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The disclosure standards of FAS
130 and FAS 131 will have no impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operation.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         The Company occasionally makes forward-looking statements concerning
its plans, goals, product and service offerings, store openings and closings and
anticipated financial performance. These forward- looking statements may
generally be identified by introductions such as "outlook" for an upcoming
period of time, or words and phrases such as "should", "expect", "hope",
"plans", "projected", "believes", "forward- looking" (or variants of those words
and phrases) or similar language indicating the expression of an opinion or view
concerning the future.

         These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
based on a number of factors and actual results or events may differ materially
from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements. These factors
include, but are not limited to: the Company's ability to maintain its
relationship with its host stores such as J.C. Penney and Sears, as well as with
Cole National Corporation, a competitor of the Company and the owner of the
Vision One managed vision care plan in which the Company participates; the
growth rate of the Company's revenue and market share; and the quality of the
Company's plans and strategies, and the ability of the Company to execute such
plans and strategies.

         In addition, forward-looking statements concerning the Company's
expected revenue or earnings levels are subject to many additional uncertainties
applicable to competitors generally and to general economic conditions over
which the Company has no control, such as the performance of its host stores.
The Company does not plan to generally publicly update prior forward-looking
statements for unanticipated events or otherwise and, accordingly, prior
forward-looking statements should not be considered to be "fresh" simply because
the Company has not made additional comments on those forward-looking
statements.
