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


OVERVIEW
*******************************************************************************

         The results of the first three months of operations (ended May 25,
1998) of the current fiscal year reflects relatively flat sales growth of
approximately $9.8 million compared to $9.9 million for the same period of the
prior year. Earnings were slightly higher ($135,823 for the quarter ended May
25, 1998 compared to $122,295 for the comparable period ended May 25, 1997) due
primarily to the income tax benefit of the operating loss carryover from the
fiscal year ended, February 25, 1998. During this period, one traditional store
was closed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This brings the total store count to 42
locations as of the end of the quarter.

         The balance sheet continues to reflect a strong, solvent position with
debt to equity ratio of .52 to 1.00 and a current ratio of 4.78 to 1.00. Reserve
cash of approximately $4.0 million continues to be maintained in an investment
account for future growth strategy implementation.

         Management has continued to improve the internal structure to
accommodate future growth. Costs of this program are still being incurred in the
current period S, G, & A costs. Management feels that the benefits from this
decision will be reflected in improved efficiencies and profitability.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following table sets forth certain selected historical operating
results for the Company as a percentage of Net Sales.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 25, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 25, 1997

         NET SALES. Product sales decreased approximately $124,000, or 1.3%,
from approximately $9.9 million for the three months ended May 25, 1997 to $9.8
million for the comparable three month period of 1998. Total same store sales
for the period were down approximately $654,000 when compared to the same period
of the prior year. New store openings and acquisitions which occurred in June,
August, and September of 1997, generated sales of approximately $530,000, during
the three months ended May 25, 1998.

         COST OF GOODS SOLD. Cost of Goods Sold for the three months ended May
25, 1998 amounted to approximately $6.3 million or 64.7% of Net Sales compared
to approximately $6.5 million or 66.1% for the same three month period ended May
25, 1997. The decrease in the dollar amount was primarily attributable to the
decreased dollar amount of Net Sales. The Cost of Goods Sold as a percentage of
Net Sales decreased 1.4% for the period, which is primarily attributable to
management control of inventory.

         OPERATING, SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. The OSG&A
expenses for the three months ended May 25, 1998 amounted to approximately $3.3
million or 33.3% of Net Sales compared to $3.2 million, or 32.3% of Net Sales,
for the same three month period of 1997. The increase is primarily attributable
to an increase in selling expenses resulting from employment of additional
personnel.

         INTEREST (EXPENSE) INCOME. For the three months ended May 25, 1998, the
Company had ($60,031) of net Interest Expense compared to $19,905 net Interest
Income for the same period of the prior year.

         INCOME TAXES. Income taxes were reflected at zero since the net
operating loss carryover from the fiscal year ended February 25, 1998 was
utilized to offset the approximately $46,000 of income taxes that the earnings
of $135,823 generated.
