              Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

                                November 2, 1996




1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Effective May 7, 1996, the Company's predecessor, Loehmann's Holdings, Inc., a
Maryland corporation ("Holdings"), whose only material assets consisted of all
of the outstanding stock of and an intercompany note issued by Loehmann's, Inc.,
merged with and into a new wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary formed for the
purpose of reincorporating Holdings from Maryland to Delaware. Effective May 8,
1996, the surviving corporation of such merger merged with and into the Company,
with the Company being the ultimate surviving corporation (together with the
reincorporation from Maryland to Delaware, the "Holdings Merger"). As a result
of the Holdings Merger, each share of Holdings' Common Stock, par value
$0.008403361 per share, and Class B convertible Common Stock, par value
$0.008403361 per share, was converted into approximately 0.22 shares of
Loehmann's, Inc. Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share and 0.22 shares of
Class B Convertible Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, respectively, and
the number of common shares authorized was changed to 25,000,000. Accordingly,
the financial information appearing herein (including all share and per share
data) reflects the retroactive application of the Holdings Merger.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Loehmann's, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to
hereafter as the Company. All significant intercompany items have been
eliminated in consolidation.

The balance sheet at November 2, 1996 and the statements of operations and cash
flows for each of the quarters and nine months ended November 2, 1996 and
October 28, 1995 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements required by generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted. Operating results for the quarter and nine months ended November 2,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ended February 1, 1997. It is suggested that these unaudited
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes for the

                                                                              4

              Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

                                November 2, 1996



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

fiscal year ended February 3, 1996 included in the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File
No. 33-97100) and declared effective on May 7, 1996.

Net income per share applicable to common stock amounts were determined by
dividing net income (after deducting dividends on and accretion of preferred
stock) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each
period, including the effect of options to purchase common stock. Common stock
equivalents that were dilutive to income per share before extraordinary items
were recognized for all per share computations. Options to purchase common stock
were not considered in the calculation of net loss per share applicable to
common stock as their effect was antidilutive.

2. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes primarily represents alternative minimum tax and
state and local taxes for states that do not allow net operating loss
carryforwards. At November 2, 1996, the tax benefit resulting from the use of a
portion of the Company's net operating loss carryforward has been effected by a
corresponding decrease in the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred
tax asset.

3. USE OF ESTIMATES

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

4. EQUITY AND DEBT OFFERING

On May 10, 1996, the Company sold 3,572,000 shares of Common Stock and $100.0
million principal amount of 11-7/8% Senior Notes due 2003 (the "Senior Notes").
The net proceeds received from such offerings (the "Offerings") were used (i) to
redeem in full $52.5 million face amount of the Company's 10-1/2% Senior Secured
Notes due 1997, at a redemption price of 103.5% of the face amount of such
notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) to

                                                                              5

redeem in full $77.6 million face amount of the Company's 13-3/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 1999 at a redemption price of 101.0% of the face amount
of such notes, plus

accrued and unpaid interest and (iii) to redeem all issued and outstanding
shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock at its liquidation price of
$0.56 per share for a total of $20.9 million (collectively, the "Existing
Obligations").

As a result of these transactions, the Company incurred approximately $4.7
million in extraordinary losses on the early extinguishment of debt and $2.0
million in losses from the write-off of related deferred financing costs
associated with such indebtedness, and a $5.1 million charge to accumulated
deficit from the accelerated accretion of the Series A Preferred Stock to its
liquidation price of $0.56 per share.

Supplemental earnings per share for the quarter ended November 2, 1996 include
approximately 3,572,000 shares deemed to be sold by the Company in connection
with the Offerings to redeem the Existing Obligations as if such redemptions had
occurred at the beginning of the year. If such transactions had occurred at the
beginning of that year, net income per share for the quarter and nine months
ended November 2, 1996 would have been $0.40 and $0.77, respectively.

5. SENIOR NOTES

As part of the Offerings, the Company sold $100.0 million aggregate face amount
of 11- 7/8% Senior Notes. The Senior Notes mature on May 15, 2003, are limited
to $100.0 million aggregate face amount, and are unsecured senior obligations of
the Company, senior in right of payment to any subordinated indebtedness of the
Company. During the second quarter of 1996, the Company purchased on the open
market and retired $5.0 million face amount of the Senior Notes. The Senior
Notes bear interest at a rate of 11-7/8% from May 10, 1996 or from the most
recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid, payable
semiannually on May 15 and November 15 in each year, commencing November 15,
1996.

The Senior Notes are subject to redemption at any time on or after May 15, 2000
at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, on not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days' prior notice in


                                                                              6

                     2000                        105.938%
                     2001                        102.969%
                     2002 and thereafter         100.000%


in each case, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
redemption date (subject to the rights of holders of record on relevant record
dates to receive interest due on an interest payment date). The Senior Notes are
not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

The Senior Notes indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things,
limit the ability of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to incur additional
indebtedness, transfer or sell assets, pay dividends or make certain other
restricted payments, incur liens, enter into certain transactions with
affiliates or consummate certain mergers, consolidations or sales of all or
substantially all of its assets. In addition, subject to certain conditions, the
Company is obligated to make offers to repurchase the Senior Notes with the net
proceeds of certain asset sales. These covenants are subject to certain
exceptions and qualifications.

6. CREDIT AGREEMENT

Effective June 12, 1996, the Company amended and restated its credit agreement
with BankAmerica Business Credit, Inc. (the "Bank") to provide the Company with
a credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility provides for a
$35.0 million revolving line of credit with interest payable on amounts drawn
under the facility, at the Company's option, at either the Bank's prime rate
plus 0.75%, or LIBOR plus 2.2%.

The Company also is required to pay a per annum fee equal to 0.375% on the
undrawn portion of the Bank's commitment in respect of the Credit Facility.


                                                                              7

                                November 2, 1996




6. CREDIT AGREEMENT (CONTINUED)

The Credit Facility is subject to certain borrowing base limitations, subjects
the Company to certain covenants, imposes limitations upon investments,
dividends and other restricted payments and capital expenditures. The Credit
Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets, including
accounts receivable, inventory, fixtures and equipment. The Credit Facility has
a term of four years and is not subject to scheduled annual repayments, except
upon maturity. At November 2, 1996, there were no outstanding borrowings under
the Credit Facility.

7. CHARGE FOR STORE CLOSINGS

During the second quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company implemented a plan to
close 11 underperforming stores and, as a result, recorded a $10.35 million
charge to continuing operations. These closures were intended to improve overall
chain profitability and achieve a more competitive cost structure. The store
closures were completed by the end of August 1995. Reserved amounts at November
2, 1996 relating to long-term lease commitments are not material. Operating
results of those stores during the quarter and nine months ended October 28,
1995 were not significant.

8. CHARGE FOR IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

During the second quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company completed certain market
analyses as part of an overall strategic plan. As an outcome of those analyses,
the Company shortened the period of time in which it intended to occupy certain
stores and, as a consequence, the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated from the revised intended use was not sufficient to recover the
assets' carrying amount. Based on these indicators, the primary intangible
assets associated with these locations were determined to be impaired as defined
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of"
("FAS No. 121"). Accordingly, the Company recorded a $4.95 million impairment
loss to continuing opera tions, representing the excess net book value of these
assets over their fair value. Fair value was based on appraisal value.

Company's Series A Preferred Stock at its liquidation price of $0.56 per share
totaling $20.9 million. As a result of these transactions, the Company incurred
approximately $4.7 million in extraordinary losses on the early extinguishment
of debt, $2.0 million in extraordinary losses from the write-off of related
deferred financing costs associated with such indebtedness, and a $5.1 million
charge to accumulated deficit from the accelerated accretion of the Series A
Preferred Stock to its liquidation price of $0.56 per share.

In October 1996, certain of the Company's common stockholders offered 2,349,000
shares of common stock for sale pursuant to a Secondary public offering of
shares. The Company did not receive any proceeds from this offering nor was the
Company's capitalization affected by this transaction. All expenses incurred in
connection with this offering were paid by the selling shareholders.

RESULT OF OPERATIONS--COMPARISON OF THE QUARTERS ENDED NOVEMBER 2, 1996 AND
OCTOBER 28, 1995

Net sales for the thirteen week period ended November 2, 1996, were $114.4
million as compared to $99.4 million for the comparable period in the prior
year, an increase of $15.0 million or 15.1%. Comparable store sales (sales at
stores that were in operation for both periods) increased by 2.4%. The increase
in net sales was due to six new stores opened during the year (Merrick, Houston,
San Diego, Paramus, Manhattan, and Boston) plus, the comparable store increase.
The Paramus store was a replacement of an existing, smaller Paramus store, which
was closed.

                                                                              9

                      and Results of Operations (continued)



Gross profit for the thirteen week period ended November 2, 1996, was $37.3
million as compared to $32.7 million for the same period in the prior year, an
increase of $4.6 million or 14.1%. Gross margin percent decreased to 32.7% from
32.9% in the prior year period. The decrease of 0.2 percentage points in margin
was primarily due to a slight increase in markdowns.

Store operating expenses for the thirteen week period ended November 2, 1996,
were $18.4 million as compared to $17.3 million during the same period in the
prior year, an increase of approximately $1.1 million, or 6.4%. As a percentage
of net sales, store operating expenses decreased to 16.1% from 17.4% in the
prior year period. The decrease in store expenses as a percentage of sales of
1.3 percentage points was due to the leveraging of the store expense base
relative to the sales growth.

Pre-opening costs totaled $1.1 million during the thirteen weeks ended November
2, 1996. These costs were associated with the opening of the four new stores in
San Diego, Paramus, Manhattan, and Boston. The Company charges the costs
associated with the new store openings to operations in the fiscal quarter of
the store's opening. The Company opened its Brooklyn, New York store in the
fourth quarter of 1996.

General and administrative expenses for the thirteen week period ended November
2, 1996, were $6.1 million as compared to $5.3 million during the same period in
the prior year, an increase of $0.8 million, or 15.1%. As a percentage of net
sales, general and administrative expenses were essentially unchanged from the
prior year. The dollar increase in general and administrative expenses was
primarily due to the continued investment in corporate infrastructure to support
the Company's planned new-store expansion program.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the thirteen week period ended
November 2, 1996, was essentially unchanged from the same period in the prior
year.

Net interest expense for the thirteen week period ended November 2, 1996 was
$2.7 million as compared to $4.5 million for the same period in the prior year,
a decrease of approximately $1.8 million or 40.0%. The reduction in net interest
expense resulted from the Company's net reduction of long-term debt of
approximately $30.0 million and a reduction of the average interest rate paid on
the long term debt by approximately 60 basis points. In May 1996, the Company
redeemed its 10-1/2% Senior Secured Notes and 13-3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes
totaling $130.0 million face value and issued $100.0 million face value of the
Senior Notes.

                                                                             10

RESULT OF OPERATIONS--COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 2, 1996 AND
OCTOBER 28, 1995

Net sales for the thirty-nine week period ended November 2, 1996 were $309.2
million versus $286.3 million during the same period in the prior year, an
increase of $22.9 million, or 8.0%. Comparable store sales (sales at stores that
were in operation for both periods) increased by 4.1%. The increase in sales is
a result of the six new stores opened in fiscal 1996 plus the comparable store
increase, partially offset by the impact of the eleven stores closed in August
1995.

Gross profit for the thirty-nine week period ended November 2, 1996 was $99.2
million, as compared to $90.4 million for the comparable period in the prior
year, an increase of $8.8 million, or 9.7%. Gross margin percent increased to
32.1% from 31.6% in the prior year period. The improvement in margin percent was
primarily a result of the continuing shift in the Company's sales mix towards
merchandise with higher average gross margins coupled with a reduction of
markdowns and inventory shortage.

Store operating expenses for the thirty-nine week period ended November 2, 1996,
were $51.4 million as compared to $49.7 million during the comparable period in
the prior year, an increase of $1.7 million, or 3.4%. As a percentage of net
sales, store operating expenses decreased to 16.6% from 17.4% from the
comparable prior year period. The dollar increase in store operating expenses
was primarily due to an increase in sales variable expense associated with the
sales increase of $22.9 million.

Pre-opening costs totaled $1.5 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended
November 2, 1996. These costs were associated with the opening of the six new
stores in Merrick, Houston, San Diego, Paramus, Manhattan, and Boston. The
Company charges the costs associated with the new store openings to operations
in the fiscal quarter of the store's opening. The Company opened its Brooklyn,
New York store in the fourth quarter of 1996.

General and administrative expenses for the thirty-nine week period ended
November 2, 1996 were $17.3 million as compared to $15.2 million during the
comparable period in the prior year, an increase of $2.1 million, or 13.8%. As a
percent of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 5.6% as
compared to 5.3% for the same period in the prior year. The dollar increase in
general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the continued
investment in corporate infrastructure to support the Company's planned
new-store expansion program.

                                                                             11

Depreciation and amortization for the thirty-nine week period ended November 2,
1996, was essentially unchanged from the same period in the prior year.

Net interest expense for the thirty-nine week period ended November 2, 1996 was
$10.7 million versus $13.4 million for the comparable period in the prior year,
a decrease of $2.7 million, or 20.1%. The reduction in net interest expense
resulted from the Company's net reduction of long-term debt of approximately
$30.0 million and a reduction of the average interest rate paid on the long term
debt by approximately 60 basis points. In May 1996, the Company redeemed its
10-1/2% Senior Secured Notes and 13-3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes totaling
$130.0 million face value and issued $100.0 million face value of the Senior
Notes.

For the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended October 28, 1995, the
Company recorded a $10.35 million charge related to the implementation of a plan
to close eleven underperforming stores. The Company believes that these closures
will improve overall chain profitability and achieve a more competitive cost
structure. Additionally, the Company recorded a $4.95 million charge to
continuing operations in connection with the write-down to fair value of certain
primarily intangible assets that were determined to have been impaired in
accordance with FAS No. 121. Of this combined $15.3 million charge, $10.45
million represents a non-cash charge. (See Notes 7 and 8 to the accompanying
consolidated financial statements).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided as a result of operating activities totaled $14.7 million
during the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 1996. Cash of $9.1 million was
provided from operations after adding back non-cash charges. Additionally, $5.8
million was generated through working capital changes primarily related to an
increase in accrued expenses. The Company used a portion of the cash from
operations to fund capital expenditures of $6.0 million and to eliminate
borrowings under its Credit Facility of $2.8 million.

Net cash provided as a result of operating activities totaled $9.9 million
during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996. Cash of $18.7 million was

adding back non-cash charges, offset by the use of net working capital of $5.2
million related to new store activity and an reduction in accrued interest
expense. In addition, $3.6 million cash was principally used for new debt
issuance costs. The Company used a portion of the cash from operations to fund
capital expenditures of $9.8 million and for financing activities of $4.9
million.

On June 12, 1996, the Company amended and restated its credit agreement with
BankAmerica Business Credit, Inc. (the "Bank") to provide the Company with a
credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility provides for a
$35.0 million revolving line of credit with interest payable, at the Company's
option, on amounts drawn under the facility at either (i) the Bank's prime plus
0.75%, or (ii) LIBOR plus 2.2%. The Company also is required to pay a per annum
fee equal to 0.375% on the undrawn portion of the Bank's commitment with respect
of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is subject to certain borrowing base
limitations, subjects the Company to certain covenants, imposes limitations upon
investments, dividends and other restricted payments and capital expenditures.
The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets,
including accounts receivable, inventory, fixtures and equipment and is not
subject to scheduled annual repayments, except upon maturity. The Credit
Facility has a term of four years. At November 2, 1996, the Company was in
compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations will be sufficient to
satisfy its cash requirements for the next twelve months, as supplemented if
necessary, by borrowings under the Credit Facility.
