CACHE, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
---------------------

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments necessary, which are
considered normal and recurring to present fairly the financial
position of the Company at June 29, 2002 (Fiscal 2002), June 30, 2001
(Fiscal 2001) and December 29, 2001 (Fiscal 2001), and the results of
operations for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June 29,
2002 and June 30, 2001 and consolidated statements of cash flows for
the twenty-six weeks then ended.

Certain financial information which is normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, but which is not required for interim reporting
purposes, has been condensed or omitted. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2001.

Net income includes all sources of comprehensive income. There
were no adjustments for foreign currency translation, unrealized
gains(losses)on investments or deferred compensation expense incurred
in Fiscal 2002 or Fiscal 2001 results.

2. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS
--------------------------

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed as net earnings divided
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur
from common shares issued through the exercise of outstanding dilutive
stock options.

The approximate number of shares used in the computations of
diluted earnings per share were 9,660,000 and 9,276,000, respectively,
for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June 29, 2002 and
June 30, 2001. The approximate number of shares used in the
computations of basic earnings per share were 9,100,000 and 9,091,000,
respectively, for the twenty-six and thirteen week periods ended June
29, 2002 and June 30, 2001.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
-----------------------------

In July 2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146,
"Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities"
("SFAS 146"), which nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3

7


("EITF 94-3") was released. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a
cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when
the liability is incurred, whereas under EITF 94-3, the liability was
recognized at the commitment date to an exit plan. The Company is
required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 146 effective for exit or
disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this statement.

ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
- ----------------------------------------------

Except for the historical information and current statements contained
in this Form 10-Q, certain matters discussed herein, including, without
limitation, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" are forward looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, including, without limitation, the effect of economic and
market conditions and competition, the ability to open new stores and expand
into new markets, and risks relating to foreign importing operations, which
would cause actual results to differ materially.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth our operating results, expressed as a
percentage of sales:

26 Weeks Ended 13 Weeks Ended
-------------------- ------------------
June 29, June 30, June 29, June 30,
2002 2001 2002 2001
-------- -------- -------- --------
Sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of sales, including
occupancy and buying expenses 58.1% 65.1% 57.3% 64.7%

Store operating expenses 27.7% 28.4% 27.2% 28.3%
General and administrative
expenses 6.7% 5.2% 6.5% 5.1%
Operating income 7.5% 1.3% 8.9% 1.8%
Other income 0.1% 1.9% 0.1% 0.3%
Income before taxes 7.7% 3.2% 9.1% 2.2%
Income tax provision 2.8% 1.2% 3.3% 0.8%
Net income 4.9% 2.0% 5.8% 1.4%


Net sales
- ---------

Net sales increased to $98.9 million from $89.8 million, an increase of
$9.1 million, or 10.2%, over the same 26 week period last year. This reflects
$5.7 million of additional net sales as a result of a 7% increase in
comparable store sales. The remainder of this increase was the result of
additional net sales from non-comparable stores.

Net sales increased to $51.3 million from $45.6 million, an increase of
$5.7 million, or 12.5%, over the same 13 week period last year. This increase
reflects $3.7 million of additional net sales as a result of an 8% increase
in comparable store sales. The remainder of this increase was the result of
additional net sales from non-comparable stores.


Gross Profit
- ------------

Gross profit increased to $41.5 million from 31.3 million, an increase
of $10.2, or 32.4%, over the same 26 week period last year. This increase was
the combined result of higher net sales and increased gross profit margins.
As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 41.9% from 34.9%.
This increase as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to higher
initial markups on inventory purchases resulting from a reduction in the
number of our vendors and the number of stock keeping units. These reductions
enabled us to commit to bulk fabric purchases and increased our ability to
receive favorable pricing from vendors. We expect the improvement created by
higher initial markups to continue to benefit results in the remainder of
Fiscal 2002.

10



Gross profit increased to $21.9 million from $16.1 million, an
increase of $5.8 million, or 36.2%, over the same 13 week period last
year. This increase was the combined result of higher net sales and
increased gross margins. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit,
increased to 42.7% from 35.3%. The improvement in gross profit for the 13
week period reflects the same positive conditions as stated above for the
26 week period.


Store operating expenses
- ------------------------

Store operating expenses increased to $27.4 million from $25.5
million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 7.4%, over the same 26 week period
last year. This increase was attributable to an increase of $623,000 in
marketing and advertising expenses, as well as an increase in the total
number of stores. We expect our marketing and advertising expenses to
continue to increase in the second half of Fiscal 2002. As a percentage of
net sales, store operating expenses decreased to 27.7% from 28.4%,
primarily due to the impact of faster store sales growth relative to store
operating expenses.

Store operating expenses increased to $14.0 million from $12.9
million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 8.0%, over the same 13 week period
last year. This increase was attributable to an increase in total stores
open, and an increase of $144,000 in advertising and marketing and was
partially offset by reductions in several expense categories. As a
percentage of net sales, store operating expenses decreased to 27.2% from
28.3%, primarily due to the impact of faster store sales growth.


General and administrative expenses
- -----------------------------------

General and administrative expenses increased to $6.6 million from
$4.7 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 41.8%, over the same 26 week
period last year. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative
expenses increased to 6.7% from 5.2%, primarily due to higher corporate-
level payroll and employee-related costs.

General and administrative expenses increased to $3.4 million from
$2.3 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 44.5%, over the same 13 week
period last year. This increase was primarily attributable to higher
corporate-level payroll and employee-related costs. As a percentage of net
sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 6.5% from 5.1% for
the 13 week period.






11



Other income
- ------------

Other income decreased to $127,000 from $1.7 million in the same 26
week period last year, primarily attributable to the $1.5 million of other
income in last year's period from the settlement of a trademark litigation
claim undertaken against a third party, net of professional fees related to
the lawsuit.

Other income decreased to $76,000 from $154,000 in the same 13 week
period last year, due to a reduction in interest rates and a gain on fixed
asset disposals included in other income in last year's period.

Income taxes
- ------------

Income taxes increased to $2.8 from $1.0 million, an increase of $1.7
million over the same 26 week period last year. This increase was
attributable to higher taxable income.

Income taxes increased to $1.7 million from $360,000, an increase of
$1.3 million over the same 13 week period last year. This increase was
attributable to higher taxable income.

Net income
- ----------

As a result of the foregoing, net income increased to $4.8 million
from $1.8 million, an increase of $3.0 million over the same 26 week period
last year. Net income increased to $3.0 million from $629,000, an increase
of $2.3 million over the same 13 week period last year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The Company's requirements are primarily for the construction of new
stores and inventory for new stores as well as the remodeling of existing
stores. We have historically satisfied our cash requirements principally
through cash flow from operations. As of June 29, 2002, the Company had
working capital of $25.2 million, which included cash and equivalents of
$20.2 million.

For the 26 weeks ended June 29, 2002, net cash provided by operations
was $10.1 million, generated by net income, depreciation of $2.3 million, a
decrease in accounts receivable of $3.1 million and an increase in income
taxes payable of $1.2 million, offset in part by a decrease in accounts
payable of $1.5 million.







12



Cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million for the 26 week
period ended June 29, 2002. These funds were used for equipment and
leasehold improvements in new and remodeled stores. Our capital
requirements depend primarily on the number of new stores we open, the
number of stores we remodel and the timing of these expenditures. Projected
capital expenditures for Fiscal 2002 to fund new store openings and
remodeling are approximately $6.5 million.

Based on our experience with new store openings, we estimate that the
average net investment to open new stores is approximately $150,000 to
$200,000, which includes new store opening expenses and initial inventory,
net of landlord contributions and payables.

The Company has a line of credit with Fleet Bank, N.A., permitting us
to borrow up to $15 million on a revolving basis. At June 29, 2002, there
was no outstanding balance under this credit facility. Amounts outstanding
under the credit facility bear interest at a maximum annual rate equal to
the bank's prime rate, currently 4.75%. The agreement relating to this
facility contains restrictions on our ability to make capital expenditures,
incur indebtedness or create or incur liens on our assets. While this
facility is unsecured, if a default occurs under the facility, we are
required to grant the lender a security interest in our inventory and
accounts receivable. This facility currently expires in January 2003.

We believe that cash flows from operations, our current available cash
and the funds available under our revolving credit facility will be
sufficient to meet our working capital needs and contemplated new store
