       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

  1.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1999 and the
      condensed consolidated statements of operations for the Three and Nine
      month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, and the condensed
      consolidated statement of cash flows for the Nine month periods ended
      March 31, 1999 and 1998, have been prepared by the Company and are
      unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
      only normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary to
      present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash
      flows for all periods presented. It is suggested that these condensed
      consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited
      financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1998
      Annual Report to Stockholders. The results of operations for the period
      ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of operating results
      for the full fiscal year.

  2.  In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
      133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This
      statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that
      derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded
      in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
      liability measured at fair value. The Company is not presently involved in
      hedging activities or in using derivative instruments.

  3.  In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
      131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
Related Information." SFAS No. 131 requires disclosure about operating segments
in complete sets of financial statements and in condensed financial statements
of interim periods issued to shareholders. The new standard also requires that
the Company report certain information about their products and services, the
geographic areas in which they operate, and major customers. In addition, they
issued SFAS No. 132 "Employer Disclosures about Pension and Other Post
Retirement Benefits." These statements, both of which may be in effect for the
Company for the year ended June 30, 1999, expand and modify disclosures and,
accordingly will have no impact on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet or
Statement of Operations.

4.  Effective September 30, 1998 the Company adopted SFAS No. 130 "Reporting
    Comprehensive Income." This statement established methodology for reporting
    the types of income that would not be shown in a condensed consolidated
    statement of operations.

      Options to purchase 267,045 and 260,401 of common stock at prices ranging
      from $4.06 to $13.61 per share were outstanding at both March 31, 1999 and
      1998, respectively but were not included in the computation of diluted
      earnings per share because they would have been anti dilutive.

6.  On January 11, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets
    of Banner Industries of New York, Inc., which manufactures and distributes
    its products to catalog companies. The Company paid approximately $2.3
    million for certain inventory, fixed assets and goodwill. The balance of the
    purchase price for inventory of up to $1.1 million, will be made from
    current working capital funds.

7.  During the quarter ending March 31, 1999 the Company closed two unprofitable
    divisions whose product lines no longer fit the Company's merchandising
    strategy. This resulted in an impairment of the goodwill with a
    corresponding write-off of $1.1 million for one of the divisions and
    resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $252 thousand (included in "Other
    Income") on the sale of fixed assets for the other division. It is not
    anticipated that any further gains or losses will occur as a result of these
    closings.

                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND 
                ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                  OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased during the nine-month period
ended March 31, 1999 to $3,354,000 from $2,176,000 at June 30, 1998. The
increase this period was due mostly from net cash provided by operating
activities totaling $2,177,000, primarily from a decrease in inventory and
partly offset by a decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities.
Funds were further reduced by net cash used in investing activities of $999,000,
which resulted mostly from cash used to acquire certain assets of a women's
apparel catalogue business offset by cash proceeds from maturities of securities
available for sale.

The Company recently completed the renewal of a $23,000,000 bank line of credit
which extends through June 30, 2000.  Changes from the previous bank line of
credit include, among other things, an increase in cash borrowing from
$10,000,000  to $13,000,000 with the Company's inventory and accounts receivable
pledged to the bank as collateral and the maintenance of a minimum tangible net
worth of $14,000,000. The Company believes that funds provided by operations,
existing working capital and the Company's bank line of credit will be
sufficient to meet foreseeable working capital needs. There are no plans for
significant capital expenditures in the near term.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales were $12,255,000 and $41,034,000 during the three and nine-month
periods ended March, 31, 1999, compared to $13,999,000 and $54,697,000 in the
three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1998, respectively.  The decrease
in sales for  the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was primarily due to lower net
sales from the premium division and from closing two unprofitable divisions,
offset in part by sales from the newly acquired women's apparel catalogue
division. Gross profit  was slightly lower at 21.7% for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1999 compared to the prior year comparable period of 21.9%.  For
the nine month period, net sales were lower principally due to overall lower
premium division sales, as well as lower volume for two unprofitable  divisions
which were closed.  In general, sales volume was lower in the current fiscal
quarter and year to date periods due to reduced demand for non-branded
merchandise.  The gross profit of 24.1% for the nine-month period ended March
31, 1999 was lower than the 24.5% gross profit achieved in the prior year's
nine-month period,  resulting, for the most part, from lower premium division
gross profit.

Shipping, selling and administrative expenses increased primarily due to a
write-off of approximately $1.1 million of goodwill associated with one of two
unprofitable divisions closed during the third quarter of fiscal 1999, business
integration costs totaling approximately $300,000 associated with the
acquisition of the women's apparel catalogue business, operating expenses
relating to this new apparel operation, and higher product development costs in
the third quarter ended March 31, 1999 and for this year's nine-month period
versus last year's respective periods.

Interest expense was much lower in both the third quarter and first nine months
of fiscal 1999 versus the same fiscal 1998 periods, because the Company utilized
its available investment funds in lieu of borrowing in the current fiscal year
periods compared to last year's same periods.

Other income increased by $228,000 and $198,000 in the third quarter and nine
months of the current fiscal year, respectively, compared to the fiscal 1998
comparable periods. This was due to a gain on sale of fixed assets on the
closing of a divisional facility of $252,000 in the third quarter, offset by
lower interest income of $24,000 and $54,000 respectively, due to the
utilization of investment funds for current working capital needs.

The loss before income taxes for the three-month and nine-month periods as
compared to the earnings before taxes in the equivalent periods of fiscal 1998
was due mainly to the decrease in sales and gross profit coupled with the
goodwill write-off, business integration costs and other costs discussed above
which was not entirely offset by lower shipping, selling and administrative
expenses 



                                      -9-
<PAGE>
as well as a pre-tax gain on the sale of fixed assets as discussed above. Net
loss for the quarter and nine month periods ended March 31, 1999 was $1,458,000
and $1,809,000, respectively, compared to net earnings for the same periods last
year of $25,000 and $460,000.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company has completed its assessment of the changes that are needed to make
its critical and other data processing systems Year 2000 compliant.  The
changes, which include a combination of software modifications,  upgrades,
hardware changes and significant customer testing  have substantially been
completed.   The Company's internal target date to be fully compliant is the
Summer of 1999 with continued testing to take place during the balance of 1999
in order to minimize the risks associated with Year 2000 systems changes.

Existing data processing personnel are being utilized to implement Year 2000
changes.  To date, total costs incurred have been approximately $12,000, with
total aggregate costs to become Year 2000 compliant not expected to exceed
$20,000.

Most of the Company's major customers have already indicated that they are or
will be Year 2000 compliant by mid-1999.  The Company is not computer
interdependent with its significant suppliers and, accordingly, does not believe
that the failure of suppliers to be Year 2000 compliant will pose any
significant risk to the Company's business operation.  In any event, the Company
presently has and expects it will have alternative sources of supply if existing
vendors are unable to supply the Company because they may not be Year 2000
compliant.

The foregoing constitute forward looking statements based upon management's best
estimates concerning future events.  Actual results could differ as a result of
a number of factors, including future costs of Year 2000 compliance, success of
testing, successful completion by third parties with their respective Year 2000
compliance programs, and similar uncertainties.
