             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation

     The    accompanying   unaudited   condensed   consolidated
financial  statements  have  been  prepared  by  Kenneth   Cole
Productions, Inc. (the "Company") in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States for  interim
financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally  accepted in the United States for complete financial
statements.    Certain items contained  in  these   financial
statements  are  based on estimates.  In  the  opinion  of  the
Company's  management,  the  accompanying  unaudited  condensed
consolidated  financial  statements  reflect  all   significant
adjustments,   consisting   of  only   normal   and   recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position  and  results of operations and  cash  flows  for  the
periods  presented.  All significant intercompany  transactions
have been eliminated.

     Operating  results for the three months  ended  March  31,
2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 2005.  These unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements should be  read  in
conjunction   with  the  financial  statements  and   footnotes
included  in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K  for  the
year ended December 31, 2004.

     The  consolidated balance sheet at December 31,  2004,  as
presented,  was  derived from the audited financial  statements
included  in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K  for  the
period ended December 31, 2004.



2.  Stock-Based Compensation

     The  Company measures compensation expense  for  its
stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method
prescribed  in  Accounting Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No.  25")  and
related  Interpretations.  The Company has  adopted  disclosure
only  provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No.  123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation"  ("SFAS
123").

     Pro  forma disclosures, as required by Statement  of
Financial  Accounting Standard No. 148, "Accounting for  Stock-
Based  Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," are  computed
as  if  the Company recorded compensation expense based on  the
fair value for stock-based awards or grants.  The following pro
forma information includes the effects of the options discussed
above.

</TABLE>

3.    Earnings Per Share

     The  Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with
SFAS  No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."  Basic earnings per  share
is calculated by dividing net income by weighted average common
shares  outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share is  calculated
similary,  except that it includes the dilutive effect  of  the
assumed  exercise  of  securities  under  the  Company's  stock
incentive plans.

     The  following  is an analysis of the differences  between
basic and diluted earnings per common share:

                                          ==========   ==========
 </TABLE>

     Stock  options  outstanding as of  March  31,  2005  and  2004,
aggregating  914,292 and 30,500, respectively,  have  not  been
included  in  the  diluted per share calculations  since  their
effect would be antidilutive.

4.  Comprehensive Income

     Comprehensive income is comprised of net income,  the  effect
of foreign currency translation and changes in unrealized gains
and losses on forward exchange contracts and the available-for-
sale  security.    Comprehensive  income  for  the  three-month
periods  ended  March 31, 2005 and 2004 amounted to  $7,253,000
and $6,786,000, respectively.

5.   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

     In  the  normal  course  of business,  the  Company  routinely
enters   into  forward  contracts  in  anticipation  of   future
purchases  of  inventory denominated in  Euros.   These  forward
contracts  are used to hedge against the Company's  exposure  to
changes in Euro exchange rates to protect the purchase price  of
merchandise  under such commitments and are  not  held  for  the
purpose  of  trading or speculation. The Company has  classified
these contracts as cash flow hedges in accordance with SFAS  No.
133   "Accounting   for   Derivative   Instruments   and   Hedge
Activities."   The Company had outstanding forward contracts  of
$17,000,000  at  March  31,  2005 with  maturity  dates  through
September 2005.

    All  terms  and  conditions of the Company's forward  contracts
are   included   in   the  measurement  of  the   related   hedge
effectiveness.  The critical terms of the forward  contracts  are
the  same as the underlying forecasted transactions. As a result,
changes  in  the  fair value of the contracts  should  be  highly
effective  in offsetting changes in the expected cash flows  from
the  forecasted  transactions.  No gains  or  losses  related  to
ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges were recognized  in  earnings
during the three months ended March 31, 2005.  At March 31, 2005,
the  notional  amount  of  the Company's  forward  contracts  was
$17,000,000,  and resulted in an unrealized loss of approximately
$262,000  net of taxes, which was included in Other Comprehensive
Income  in  the  Company's  Condensed Consolidated  Statement  of
Changes  in  Shareholders' Equity and as a decrease to inventory,
the  underlying  exposure  on  the balance  sheet.   The  Company
expects  to  reclassify  all of the unrealized  loss  from  Other
Comprehensive  Income into earnings within  the  next  six  month
period due to the actual executions of foreign exchange contracts
to   purchase   merchandise  and  the  ultimate  sale   of   that
merchandise.








6.    Segment Information

     The  Company has three reportable segments: Wholesale, Consumer
Direct  and  Licensing.   The Company's reportable  segments  are
business  units  that offer different products  and  services  or
similar products through different channels of distribution.  The
Wholesale segment designs, sources and markets a broad  range  of
quality  footwear  and handbags for wholesale distribution.   The
Consumer  Direct  segment  markets  a  broad  selection  of   the
Company's branded products, including licensee products for  sale
directly   to   the   consumer  through  its  own   channels   of
distribution,  which  include full price  retail  stores,  outlet
stores,   catalogs   and   e-commerce   (at   website   addresses
www.kennethcole.com   and   www.kennethcolereaction.com).     The
Licensing  segment  earns royalties on licensee  sales  to  third
parties  of the Company's branded products and royalties  on  the
purchase and sale to foreign retailers or to consumers in foreign
countries.  The Company maintains control over quality and  image
and   allows   licensees  to  sell  primarily  to   channels   of
distribution the same as, similar to or otherwise consistent with
those  of the Company's Wholesale segment.  The Company evaluates
performance  and  allocates resources based  on  profit  or  loss
before income taxes from each segment.  The Wholesale segment  is
evaluated  on  income from operations before income  taxes.   The
Consumer  Direct  segment is evaluated on  profit  or  loss  from
operations  before  unallocated  corporate  overhead  and  income
taxes.   The  Licensing segment is evaluated on royalties  earned
and  pretax  segment  profit.   Intersegment  sales  between  the
Wholesale and Consumer Direct segment include a markup, which  is
eliminated in consolidation.

Financial information of the Commpany's reportable segments is as follows
(in thousands):

Revenues from international customers were approximately 3.0% and 2.0% of the
Company's consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively.


7. Related Party

      The  Company  has an exclusive license agreement with  Candies,
Inc. and its trademark holding company, IP Holdings, LLC, ("Candies")
to  use the Bongo trademark in connection with worldwide manufacture,
sale and distribution of women's, men's and children's footwear.  The
Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Candies is the brother of the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.  The initial term  of
the  agreement  is through December 31, 2007, with options  to  renew
through  December  31, 2016 based upon the Company  reaching  certain
sales thresholds.  During these periods, the Company is obligated  to
pay  Candies  a percentage of net sales based upon the terms  of  the
agreement.  The Company recorded approximately $315,000 and  $328,000
in  royalty  and advertising expense to Candies for the three  months
ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

8. Legal Proceedings

     In  2004, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the
Company  in  the Superior Court of California for the County  of  Los
Angeles.   The  individual  plaintiffs are current  or  former  store
managers or assistant managers who purport to bring suit on behalf of
themselves and other similarly situated store managers and  assistant
managers.  In  2005,  a second purported class action  was  filed  on
behalf of floor supervisors.  In each lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege,
among  other  claims,  that they worked hours  for  which  they  were
entitled to receive, but did not receive, overtime compensation under
California  law.  The lawsuits seek damages, penalties,  restitution,
reclassification  and attorneys' fees and costs. The  Company  denies
the  allegations  in each complaint and plans to defend  the  actions
vigorously.

     In addition, the Company is, from time to time, a party to other
litigation  that  arises  in  the  normal  course  of  its   business
operations.   The  Company  is not presently  a  party  to  any  such
litigation that it believes would have a material adverse  effect  on
its business operations.

9. Reclassifications

  Certain  amounts  in  the Company's previous  financial  statements
have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

10. New Accounting Pronouncements

   In  December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS No. 123R ("SFAS 123R"), Share-Based Payment.  SFAS 123R requires
the Company to measure compensation cost for all share-based payments
at  fair  value for interim and annual periods.  In April  2005,  the
Securities  and Exchange Commission deferred implementation  of  SFAS
123R  for certain registrants to no later than the beginning  of  the
first  fiscal  year beginning after June 15, 2005.   The  Company  is
currently evaluating the requirements and impact of SFAS 123R on the
Company's consolidated   financial  statements,  and  expects  to
adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006.

     In  October 2004, Internal Revenue Code Section 965 was  enacted
as  part  of  the  American Job Creation Act.  This  is  a  temporary
provision  that  allows  U.S. companies to repatriate  earnings  from
their  foreign  subsidiaries  at a reduced  tax  rate  provided  that
specified  conditions and restrictions are satisfied.   In  addition,
FASB  Staff  Position FAS 109-2 was issued to provide accounting  and
disclosure  evidence  relating to the  repatriation  provision.   The
Company  believes  the  range  of  reasonably  possible  amounts   of
unremitted earnings that is being considered for repatriation,  as  a
result of this provision, is between $7 million and $12 million.  The
related  reduction in income tax expense is expected to be $1 million
to  $2.5 million.  In addition, the Company's 2005 effective tax rate
will  decrease due to this provision.  The Company expects  to  adopt
this repatriation plan in the second half of 2005.

11. Subsequent Events

     On April 7, 2005, the Company accelerated the vesting of 250,000
"out-of-the-money"  stock options held by Kenneth  D.  Cole.    These
options  were  originally granted on August 4, 2004  and  would  have
vested ratably in annual installments on the next three anniversaries
of the date of grant.  The per share exercise price for these options
was   $32.09,  which was above the $30.34 fair market  value  of  the
Company's  Class  A  common stock on the date of acceleration.    The
purpose  of  the  acceleration  is to eliminate  future  compensation
expense  recognition  the  Company would  otherwise  be  required  to
recognize  in the Income Statement with respect to these  accelerated
options  once  SFAS  123R  becomes effective  in  January  2006.  The
estimated  future  expense recognition that  will  be  eliminated  is
approximately  $2,115,000.   This  amount  differs  from  the  amount
previously reported in the Company's Form 8-K, dated April  7,  2005,
due  to  the deferral of SFAS 123R.  The acceleration of options  did
not  trigger an expense for accounting purposes, as the stock options
had no intrinsic value at the date of acceleration.

     On  April  20, 2005, the board of directors declared a quarterly
cash dividend of $0.16 per share payable on June 16, 2005, which will
be paid to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 24,
2005.

Update on Critical Accounting Policies

      The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance  with  accounting principles  generally  accepted  in  the
United  States,  which require the Company to make estimates  in  the
application of its accounting policies based on the best assumptions,
judgments and opinions of management.  For a summary of the Company's
significant  accounting  policies,  see  the  Company's  consolidated
financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on  Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Overview

      Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc., designs, sources and markets  a
broad  range  of fashion footwear and handbags, and, through  license
agreements,  designs  and markets apparel and accessories  under  its
Kenneth  Cole  New York, Kenneth Cole Reaction, Unlisted,  and  Bongo
brand  names.   During the fiscal year ended December 31,  2004,  the
Company  introduced the Tribeca trademark brand for women's footwear.
In  addition,  the Company designs and sources footwear and  handbags
for its customers under its customers' own trademarks.  The Company's
products  are  targeted  to  appeal to fashion  conscious  consumers,
reflecting  a  casual  urban perspective  and  a  lifestyle  uniquely
associated with Kenneth Cole.

      The  Company markets its products to more than 7,500 department
and specialty store locations, as well as through its Consumer Direct
business,  which  includes an expanding base  of  retail  and  outlet
stores, consumer catalogs and interactive websites, including  online
e-commerce.

      The  popularity of the Kenneth Cole New York and  Kenneth  Cole
Reaction  brand  names  among consumers has enabled  the  Company  to
expand  its  product  offerings and channels of distribution  through
licensing  agreements and allows it to offer through these agreements
a  lifestyle collection of men's product categories such as  tailored
clothing,   dress   shirts,   dress  pants,   sportswear,   neckwear,
briefcases, portfolios, jewelry, fragrance, belts, leather and fabric
outerwear,  swimwear, sunglasses, optical eyewear, watches,  luggage,
hosiery   and  small  leather  goods.   Women's  product   categories
currently   being   sold  pursuant  to  license  agreements   include
sportswear,  small leather goods, belts, scarves and wraps,  hosiery,
leather  and fabric outerwear, sunglasses, optical eyewear,  watches,
jewelry, fragrance, swimwear, and luggage.  In addition, the  Company
also licenses children's apparel.

      The  Company  recorded net revenues of $129.9 million  for  the
three  months  ended  March  31,  2005;  a  6.1%  increase  over  the
comparable period in the prior year, and diluted earnings  per  share
grew  2.8%  to $0.37 from $0.36 over the first quarter of  2004.  The
Company's  balance  sheet  reflected  $106.8  million  in  cash   and
marketable  securities, and had no debt as of March  31,  2005.   The
Company  continues to focus on designing and delivering high quality,
fashionable  products,  creating  efficient  and  compelling   retail
environments, and continuing close partnerships with its licensees to
ensure brand quality and distribution integrity.

(1)  Gross Profit may not be comparable to other entities, since some
entities  include the costs related to their distribution network  in
cost  of  goods  sold and others entities, similar  to  the  Company,
exclude  these costs from gross profit, including them instead  in  a
line item such as selling, general and administrative expenses.


Three  Months  Ended  March 31, 2005 Compared to Three  Months  Ended
March 31, 2004

REVENUES:  Consolidated net revenues increased $7.5 million, or 6.1%,
to  $129.9  million for the three months ended March  31,  2005  from
$122.4  million  for  the three months ended  March  31,  2004.   The
increase  in  revenues  occurred in all of  the  Company's  segments:
Wholesale, Consumer Direct and Licensing as further described  below,
in the sections entitled "Net Sales" and "Licensing Revenue."

NET  SALES:  Wholesale net sales (excluding sales  to  the  Company's
Consumer Direct business segment) increased $6.2 million, or 8.6%, to
$78.5  million, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from  $72.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 2004.  This increase  is
primarily  attributable to increased sales of the  Company's  Kenneth
Cole  Reaction branded footwear, and increased sales in  the  handbag
businesses  in excess of 40%.  Sales increases were partially  offset
by  declines in the Company's volume businesses and Kenneth Cole  New
York footwear.

Net  sales  in  the Company's Consumer Direct segment increased  $0.8
million,  or 1.8%, to $41.8 million for the three months ended  March
31,  2005  from  $41.0 million for the three months ended  March  31,
2004.   The  increase in net sales is due primarily to  increases  in
sales from the Company's Catalog and Internet operations and its Gift
Program. New stores opened in 2005 and that portion of 2005 sales for
stores  not open for all of 2004 increased by $1.7 million,  and  was
offset  by  a decrease in comparable store sales of $2.2  million  or
5.8%.

LICENSING  REVENUE:  Royalty revenue increased 6.4% to  $9.6  million
for  the  three months ended March 31 2005 from $9.0 million for  the
three months ended March 31, 2004.   The growth in licensing revenues
was  primarily driven by incremental minimum royalties from  existing
licensee product categories.

GROSS  PROFIT:   Consolidated gross profit, as a  percentage  of  net
revenues,  increased to 43.2% for the three months  ended  March  31,
2005 from 42.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2004.  This  was
primarily a result of an increase in margin in the Wholesale segment,
offset  by  a  decrease in Consumer Direct margin.  The  increase  in
gross  profit  from the Wholesale segment resulted  from  changes  in
sourcing  and better sell-thrus at retail.  In addition,  changes  in
the  mix  of  the Company's revenues from its Wholesale and  Consumer
Direct  segments also affected consolidated gross margins.   Although
the  Consumer Direct segment operates at a higher gross profit  level
than  the  Wholesale  segment, its revenue as  a  percentage  of  net
revenue decreased to 32.1% for the three months ended March 31,  2005
from 33.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2004.   Revenues from
the  Wholesale  segment as a percentage of net revenue  increased  to
60.5%  for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 59.1%  for  the
three months ended March 31, 2004.

SELLING,  GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:  Selling, general  and
administrative   expenses,  including  warehousing   and   receiving,
increased 10.3% to $44.9 million (or 34.6% of net revenues)  for  the
three months ended March 31, 2005 from $40.8 million (or 33.3% of net
revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 2004.  Expenses, as  a
percentage of net revenues, increased primarily due to investments in
people  and  systems  and  the Company's  loss  of  leverage  on  its
comparable stores' sales base.

INTEREST  AND  OTHER INCOME:  Interest and other income increased  to
$0.5  million  for the three months ended March 31,  2005  from  $0.3
million  for the three months ended March 31, 2004.  The increase  is
due to a higher average rate of return on the Company's investments.

INCOME TAXES:  The Company's effective tax rate has decreased to  36%
for  the  three  months ended March 31, 2005 from 38% for  the  three
months ended March 31, 2004 as a result of a temporary provision that
allows  U.S.  companies  to repatriate earnings  from  their  foreign
subsidiaries  at  a reduced tax rate.  (See "New Accounting  and  Tax
Developments.")

NET  INCOME:  As a result of the foregoing, net income increased 1.3%
for  the  three months ended March 31, 2005 to $7.5 million (5.8%  of
net  revenues) from $7.4 million (6.0% of net revenues) for the three
months ended March 31, 2004.

New Accounting and Tax Developments

      In  December  2004,  the Financial Accounting  Standards  Board
issued  SFAS No. 123R ("SFAS 123R"), Share-Based Payment.  SFAS  123R
requires the Company to measure compensation cost for all share-based
payments  at  fair  value for interim and annual periods.   In  April
2005,  the Securities and Exchange Commission deferred implementation
of  SFAS  123R for certain registrants to no later than the beginning
of  the  first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company
is  currently evaluating the requirements and impact of SFAS 123R  on
the Company's consolidated financial statements, and expects to adopt
the provisions of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006.

      In  October 2004, Internal Revenue Code Section 965 was enacted
as  part  of  the  American Job Creation Act.  This  is  a  temporary
provision  that  allows  U.S. companies to repatriate  earnings  from
their  foreign  subsidiaries  at a reduced  tax  rate  provided  that
specified  conditions and restrictions are satisfied.   In  addition,
FASB  Staff  Position FAS 109-2 was issued to provide accounting  and
disclosure  evidence  relating  to the  repatriation  provision.  The
Company  believes  the  range  of  reasonably  possible  amounts   of
unremitted earnings that is being considered for repatriation,  as  a
result of this provision, is between $7 million and $12 million.  The
related  reduction in income tax expense is expected to be $1 million
to  $2.5 million.  In addition, the Company's 2005 effective tax rate
will  decrease due to this provision.  The Company expects  to  adopt
this repatriation plan in the second half of 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Company uses cash from operations as the primary source  of
financing   for  its  expansion  and  seasonal  requirements.    Cash
requirements vary from time to time as a result of the timing of  the
receipt of merchandise from suppliers, the delivery by the Company of
merchandise  to  its customers, and the level of accounts  receivable
and  due  from factors balances.  At March 31, 2005 and December  31,
2004   working  capital  was  $179.1  million  and  $173.0   million,
respectively.

     Cash used in operating activities was $9.5 million for the three
months  ended  March  31,  2005, compared to  $1.9  million  used  in
operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004.   The
increase  in  cash flows used in operations is primarily attributable
to  seasonal  working capital requirements, including an increase  in
the  Company's due from factor and inventory balances, and the timing
of payables.

     Net cash used in investing activities increased $5.7 million  to
$6.4  million  for the three months ended March 31,  2005  from  $0.7
million  for  the  three  months ended  March  31,  2004.   Investing
activities  for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and  2004  were
primarily   for  capital  expenditures  and  marketable   securities.
Capital  expenditures  for new retail store openings  and  expansions
were approximately $0.9 million and $0.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively.  The remaining
expenditures  were  used  primarily for  information  technology  and
office build-out and renovations.  In addition, $5.1 million was used
to purchase marketable securities during the three months ended March
31, 2005.

     Net  cash used in financing activities was $2.3 million for  the
three  months ended March 31, 2005 compared to  $0.4 million used  in
financing  activities  for the three months  ended  March  31,  2004.
During  the  three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company  declared
and  paid  quarterly cash dividends of approximately $3.2 million  to
common  stock  shareholders  compared to $2.4  million  of  dividends
declared and paid during the three months ended March 31, 2004.  This
was  primarily offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock  options
of $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared
to  $1.9 million of proceeds from excercises during the three  months
ended March 31, 2004.

     The Company's material obligations under contractual agreements,
primarily  commitments  for  future payments  under  operating  lease
agreements as of March 31, 2005, are summarized as follows:

     The  Company  utilizes forward contracts to hedge  its  cost  on
future  purchases of inventory in Euros. These forward contracts  are
used  to hedge against the Company's exposure to changes in the  Euro
exchange  rates  to  protect the purchase price of merchandise  under
such  commitments  and  are not held for the purpose  of  trading  or
speculation.  At  March 31, 2005, the Company had  forward  contracts
totaling  $17  million in notional value with an unrealized  loss  of
$262,000, net of taxes.

      In  2004, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the
office  building  that  it  is currently leasing  for  its  corporate
headquarters in New York City providing approximately 119,500  square
feet of office space for approximately $24 million.  The closing date
must occur by May 2006, with the specific timing to be determined  by
the  parties based on the ability of the current landlord to  satisfy
certain terms and conditions.

     The  Company  currently has a line of credit, which  allows  for
borrowings  and letters of credit up to a maximum of $25  million  to
finance working capital requirements.  The Company has no outstanding
advances under this line of credit; however, amounts available  under
the line of credit were reduced by $6.7 million in standby letters of
credit and $0.1 million in open letters of credit to $18.2 million at
March 31, 2005.

     The  Company believes that it will be able to satisfy  its  cash
requirements for the next year, including requirements for its retail
expansion   and  renovations,  office  build-out  of  its   corporate
headquarters,   the   purchase  of  the  New  York   City   corporate
headquarters, dividend payments, and enhancements to its  information
systems,  primarily with cash flow from operations and  current  cash
levels.

      The  foregoing  commentary should be  considered  to  fall
within  the coverage of the "Safe Harbor Statement" under the Private
Securities Litigation reform Act of 1995 included in this report.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The  Company  does  not  believe it has a material  exposure  to
market  risk.  The Company is primarily exposed to currency  exchange
rate risks with respect to its inventory transactions denominated  in
Euros.   Business activities in various currencies expose the Company
to the risk that the eventual net dollar cash flows from transactions
with  foreign  suppliers  denominated in foreign  currencies  may  be
adversely affected by changes in currency rates.  The Company manages
these  risks  by  utilizing forward contracts to hedge  its  cost  on
future  purchases.  The Company does not enter into foreign  currency
transactions  for  speculative purposes.   At  March  31,  2005,  the
Company had forward contracts totaling $17 million in notional  value
with  an  unrealized  loss of $262,000 net of  taxes.  The  Company's
earnings may also be affected by changes in short-term interest rates
as  a result of borrowings under its line of credit facility.  At the
Company's borrowing levels, a two percent increase in interest  rates
affecting  the  Company's credit facility would not have  a  material
effect on the Company's year-to-date earnings.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

      The  Company's  Chief  Executive Officer  and  Chief  Financial
Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure
controls and procedures" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
of  the Securities Exchange Act of 2004, as amended) as of the end of
the  period covered by this quarterly report, and have concluded that
the  Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective  and
designed to ensure that material information relating to the  Company
and  the  Company's consolidated subsidiaries would be made known  to
them  by  others  within  those entities to  allow  timely  decisions
regarding required disclosures.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

      There  were no changes in the Company's internal controls  over
financial  reporting during the period covered by  this  report  that
have  materially  affected, or are reasonably  likely  to  materially
affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

     In  2004, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the
Company  in  the Superior Court of California for the County  of  Los
Angeles.   The  individual  plaintiffs are current  or  former  store
managers or assistant managers who purport to bring suit on behalf of
themselves and other similarly situated store managers and  assistant
managers.  In  2005,  a second purported class action  was  filed  on
behalf  of  floor supervisors.  In each case, the plaintiffs  allege,
among  other  claims,  that they worked hours  for  which  they  were
entitled to receive, but did not receive, overtime compensation under
California  law.  The lawsuits seek damages, penalties,  restitution,
reclassification  and attorneys' fees and costs. The  Company  denies
the  allegations  in each complaint and plans to defend  the  actions
vigorously.

     In addition, the Company is, from time to time, a party to other
litigation  that  arises  in  the  normal  course  of  its   business
operations.   The  Company  is not presently  a  party  to  any  such
litigation that it believes would have a material adverse  effect  on
its business operations.
