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 28, 2003 (Fiscal 2003), June 29, 2002 (Fiscal 2002) and December 28,
2002 (Fiscal 2002), and the results of operations for the 26 and 13 week
periods ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002 and consolidated statements
of cash flows for the 26 weeks then ended.

Certain financial information, which is normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, 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 28, 2002.

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 2003 results.


2. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS

Basic and diluted earnings per share has been computed based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the 26
and 13 week periods ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002.

The approximate number of shares used in the computations of diluted
earnings per share were 9,628,000 and 9,660,000, respectively, for the 26
week period and 9,633,000 and 9,660,000, respectively, for the 13 week
comparable period ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002.

The approximate number of shares used in the computations of basic earnings
per share were 9,125,000 and 9,100,000, respectively, for the 26 week
comparable periods, and 9,130,000 and 9,100,000, respectively, for the 13
week comparable periods ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002.

The Company accounts for options granted under the 2000 Stock Option Plan
and 1994 Stock Option Plan in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" under which no compensation
cost has been recognized for stock option awards granted at fair market
value. Had compensation expense for the Plan been determined based on the
fair value at the grant dates for awards under the Plan, consistent with
the method of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transition and Disclosure", the Company's net earnings, basic EPS and
diluted EPS would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts listed below:

7. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is exposed to a number of asserted and unasserted potential claims.
In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters is not presently
expected to have a material adverse effect upon our financial position and
results of operations.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

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.








9



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

The following table sets forth our results of operations for the 26 and 13 week
periods ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002, expressed as a percentage of
net sales.

26 Weeks Ended 13 Weeks Ended
------------------ ------------------
June 28, June 29, June 28, June 29,
2003 2002 2003 2002
-------- -------- -------- --------
Sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of sales 56.8% 58.1% 55.5% 57.3%
Gross profit 43.2% 41.9% 44.5% 42.7%
Store operating expenses 29.2% 27.7% 28.3% 27.2%
General and administrative expenses 6.0% 6.7% 6.0% 6.5%
Operating income 7.9% 7.5% 10.1% 8.9%
Other income 0.1% 0.1% 0.1% 0.1%
Income before income taxes 8.1% 7.7% 10.2% 9.1%
Income tax provision 3.1% 2.8% 3.9% 3.3%
Net income 5.0% 4.9% 6.3% 5.8%



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

Net sales increased to $103.8 million from $98.9 million, an increase of $4.9
million, or 5.0%, over the same 26 week period last year. This reflects $622,000
of additional net sales as a result of a 1% increase in comparable store sales.
Net sales increased $4.3 million as a result of additional net sales from non-
comparable stores.

Net sales increased to $56.0 million from $51.3 million, an increase of $4.7
million, or 9.1%, over the same 13 week period last year. This increase reflects
$2.1 million of additional net sales as a result of a 4% increase in comparable
store sales. Net sales increased $2.6 million as a result of additional net
sales from non-comparable stores.


Gross profit
- ------------

Gross profit increased to $44.8 million from $41.5 million, an increase of $3.3
million, or 8.0%, 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 43.2% from 41.9%. 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 2003.

Gross profit increased to $24.9 million from $21.9 million, an increase of $3.0
million, or 13.6%, 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 44.5% from 42.7%. The
improvement in gross profit for the 13 week period reflects the same positive
conditions as stated above for the 26 week period.


10


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

Store operating expenses increased to $30.4 million from $27.4 million, an
increase of $2.9 million or 10.7%, over the same 26 week period last year. This
increase was attributable to an increase of $1.2 million in marketing and
advertising expenses, as well as an increase in the total number of stores. As
a percentage of net sales, store operating expenses increased to 29.2% from
27.7%, primarily due to higher marketing and advertising expenses and an
increase in the number of new stores opened in the last year.

Store operating expenses increased to $15.9 million from $14.0 million, an
increase of $1.9 million, or 13.6%, over the same 13 week period last year.
This increase was attributable to an increase in total stores open, and an
increase of $786,000 in advertising and marketing and was partially offset by
reductions in several expense categories. As a percentage of net sales, store
operating expenses increased to 28.3% from 27.2%, primarily due to higher
marketing and advertising expenses and an increase in the number of new stores
opened in the last year.

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

General and administrative expenses decreased to $6.2 million from $6.6 million,
a decrease of $393,000, or 6.0% below the same 26 week period last year. As a
percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 6.0%
from 6.7%, primarily due to lower corporate-level payroll and employee-related
costs.

General and administrative expenses remained unchanged at $3.4 million, as
compared to the same 13 week period last year. As a percentage of net sales,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 6.0% from 6.5%, for the 13
week period.

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

Other income increased to $144,000 from $127,000 in the same 26 week period
last year, primarily attributable to higher average cash balances, partially
offset by lower interest rates.

Other income decreased to $70,000 from $76,000 in the same 13 week period last
year, due to a reduction in interest rates in 2003.

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

Income taxes increased to $3.2 million from $2.8 million, an increase of
$441,000 over the same 26 week period last year. This increase was primarily
attributable to higher taxable income, as well as an increase in our effective
tax rate from 36.5% in fiscal 2002 to 38.3% in fiscal 2003. This increase in
our effective tax rate is primarily due to a change in the mix of income
subject to tax in the various states in which we do business.

Income taxes increased to $2.2 million from $1.7 million, an increase of
$492,000 over the same 13 week period last year.


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

As a result of the foregoing, net income increased to $5.2 million from $4.8
million, an increase of $366,000 over the same 26 week period last year. Net
income increased to $3.5 million from $3.0 million, an increase of $581,000
over the same 13 week period last year.




11


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

Our cash requirements are primarily for the construction of new stores and
inventory purchases for these 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 28, 2003, the Company had
working capital of $29.8 million, which included cash and marketable securities
of $20.9 million.

During the 26 weeks ended June 28, 2003, net cash provided by operations was
$1.0 million, generated by net income, depreciation of $2.5 million, a decrease
in prepaid expenses of $299,000, an increase in income taxes payable of $442,000
offset in part by a decrease in accounts payable of $2.0 million, an increase
in inventories of $2.7 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $2.4
million.

Cash provided by investing activities was $4.5 million for the 26 week period
ended June 28, 2003. Matured investments generated $9.5 million of cash flows.
Funds used for equipment and leasehold improvements in new and remodeled stores
totaled $5.0 million. 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 2003 to fund new store
openings and remodeling are approximately $9 - 10 million.

Based on our experience with new store openings, we estimate that the average
net investment to open new stores is approximately $175,000 to $225,000, which
includes new store opening expenses and initial inventory, net of landlord
contributions and payables.

We plan to open approximately 25 new stores during fiscal 2003. Three new stores
were opened in March 2003 and two new stores opened in April and three new
stores opened in June. We anticipate opening the remaining new stores during
the summer and fall of 2003. We renovated eight existing stores through the
end of the second quarter. After deducting construction allowances paid to
the Company by its landlords, we spent $5.0 million through June 28, 2003 and
expect to spend an additional four to five million dollars in 2003, for both
new store and existing store construction and remodeling.

We believe that cash flows from operations, our current available cash and funds
available under our $15.0 million revolving credit facility, will be sufficient
to meet our working capital needs and contemplated new store expansion for at
least the next 12 months. If our cash flow from operations should decline
significantly or if we should accelerate our store expansion or remodeling
program, it may be necessary for us to seek additional sources of capital.
