Loehmann's Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements


1. ORGANIZATION

Loehmann's Holdings, Inc. ("Loehmann's" or the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, was formed pursuant to the Company's emergence from bankruptcy on
October 10, 2000. Loehmann's Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of Loehmann's,
Inc. and owns 100% of its common stock. In addition to the formation of
Loehmann's Holdings, Inc., two new wholly-owned subsidiaries of Loehmann's, Inc.
were formed and all the assets of Loehmann's, Inc. were transferred to these
subsidiaries, Loehmann's Operating Co. and Loehmann's Real Estate Holdings, Inc.
Loehmann's is a leading upscale off-price specialty retailer of well known
designer and brand name women's fashion apparel, men's furnishings, accessories
and shoes.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The balance sheet at August 3, 2002 and the statements of operations and
cash flows for the quarter and six months ended August 3, 2002 include, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally
included in financial statements required by generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted. Operating results for the quarter and six months
ended August 3, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2003. It is suggested that these
unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2002 included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year.

3. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided for under the liability method using an effective
tax rate of 39%.

4. USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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 from the estimates.

5. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In 2002, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." This standard requires that reorganization value, goodwill
and other indefinitely lived intangible assets not be amortized, but instead be
tested for impairment. After the initial impairment review required by SFAS 142,
the Company has determined that the adoption of SFAS 142 did not result in the
impairment of the carrying value of its reorganization value.

5


If reorganization value in excess of identifiable assets had not been
amortized in the quarter and six months ended August 4, 2001, the Company's
adjusted net income and earnings per share would have been as follows:

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF THE QUARTERS ENDED AUGUST 3, 2002 AND
AUGUST 4, 2001

Comparable store sales (stores that were in operation for both periods)
increased by 12.7 % compared to the same period in fiscal 2001. Net sales for
the quarter ended August 3, 2002 were $75.3 million as compared to $66.9 million
for the comparable period in the prior year.

Gross profit for the quarter ended August 3, 2002 was $27.6 million as
compared to $24.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Gross profit
percentage increased to 36.7% from 36.2% in the prior year period. The increase
in gross profit percentage was due primarily to an improvement in inventory
shrinkage.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales,
for the quarter ended August 3, 2002 decreased to 32.9% from 34.3% in the prior
period. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $24.8 million
from $22.9 million in the prior period. The increase is due primarily to
variable expenses related to the $8.4 million increase in net sales for the
quarter.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter ended August 3, 2002
was $2.2 million as compared to $2.5 million for the same period in the prior
year. The Company no longer amortizes reorganization value in excess of
identifiable assets, which last year was $198,000 for the second quarter. See
Notes to the Financial Statements - 5. Adoption of New Accounting Standard.

In July 2002, the Company sold its facility in Bronx, NY and realized a
gain on the sale of $3.9 million. This gain is included in operating income for
the period.

As a result of the items explained above, operating income increased by
$5.7 million to $4.9 million, or 6.5% of sales, for the quarter ended August 3,
2002 as compared to an operating loss of $0.8 million, or (1.2)% of sales, for
the quarter ended August 4, 2001. Excluding the gain on sale of building,
operating income for the current period would have been $1.0 million or 1.3% of
sales.

6


Net interest expense for the quarter ended August 3, 2002 was $0.7 million
as compared to $1.0 million for the same period in the prior year. There was no
borrowing under the Company's credit facility during the period so interest
expense is comprised primarily of $0.6 million in interest on the Company's 11%
Senior Notes due 2005 plus fees related to the Company's credit line.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 3, 2002 AND
AUGUST 4, 2001

Comparable store sales (stores that were in operation for both periods)
increased by 9.1 % for the six-month period ended August 3, 2002 compared to the
same period in fiscal 2001. Net sales for the six-month period ended August 3,
2002 were $168.7 million as compared to $154.7 million for the comparable period
in the prior year.

Gross profit for the six-month period ended August 3, 2002 was $64.5
million as compared to $56.9 million for the same period in the prior year.
Gross profit percentage increased to 38.2% from 36.8% in the prior year period.
The increase in gross profit percentage was due primarily to (i) an increase in
the initial markup of merchandise resulting from a favorable change in the
merchandise mix and (ii) improved inventory shrinkage results.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales,
for the quarter ended August 3, 2002 decreased to 30.9% from 31.6% in the prior
period. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $52.0 million
from $48.9 million in the prior period. The increase is due primarily to
variable expenses related to the $14.0 million increase in net sales for the
six-month period ended August 3, 2002.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the six-month period ended August
3, 2002 was $4.3 million as compared to $4.9 million for the same period in the
prior year. The Company no longer amortizes reorganization value in excess of
identifiable assets, which was $398,000 in the prior year period. See Notes to
the Financial Statements - 5. Adoption of New Accounting Standard.

In July 2002, the Company sold its facility in Bronx, NY and realized a
gain on the sale of $3.9 million. This gain is included in operating income for
the period.

As a result of the items explained above, operating income increased by
$8.9 million to $12.7 million, or 7.5% of sales, in the six months ended August
3, 2002 as compared to operating income of $3.8 million, or 2.5% of sales, in
the six months ended August 4, 2001. Excluding the gain on sale of building,
operating income for the current period would have been $8.7 million or 5.2% of
sales, an increase of 130%.

Net interest expense for the six-month period ended August 3, 2002 was $1.5
million as compared to $2.0 million for the same period in the prior year. There
was no borrowing under the Company's credit facility during the period so
interest expense is comprised primarily of $1.3 million in interest on the
Company's 11% Senior Notes due 2005 plus fees related to the Company's credit
line.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has a $75.0 million revolving line of credit with Bankers Trust
Company (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility is secured by substantially
all of the Company's assets and expires on September 30, 2005. The availability
of the revolving line of credit under the Credit Facility is subject to certain
inventory-related borrowing base requirements.



7


The indebtedness under the Credit Facility bears interest at variable rates
based on LIBOR plus 3.0% or the prime rate plus 2.0% on borrowings less than or
equal to the fixed asset sublimit. For borrowings in excess of the fixed asset
sublimit, the interest rates are LIBOR plus 2.5% or the prime rate plus 1.5%.
There is an unused line fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the
facility.

The Credit Facility contains certain customary covenants, including
limitations on indebtedness, liens, and restricted payments. In addition, the
Company is required to satisfy certain financial performance criteria including
minimum EBITDA requirements, fixed charge coverage and inventory turn ratios.
The Credit Facility also contains an annual limitation on capital expenditures.
The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants.

During the six months ended August 3, 2002, the Company had no net
borrowings under the Credit Facility. As of August 3, 2002 there were
documentary letters of credit of $5.4 million outstanding under the Credit
Facility. The Company believes that cash generated from operations and funds
available under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to satisfy cash
requirements through the remainder of the fiscal year.

Net cash provided by operations before working capital for the six-month
period ended August 3, 2002 was $7.3 million. The working capital needs for the
six-month period were $5.4 million, due primarily to an increase in inventory of
$4.2 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $2.9 million. Cash provided
by operating activities was $1.9 million for the six-month period. Capital
expenditures for the six-month period were $3.5 million primarily for (i)
maintenance and repair, $2.4 million , (ii) systems upgrades, $0.6 million and
(iii) a new store in Centennial, CO , $0.5 million.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, in particular, Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain
forward-looking statements within the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The
Company's actual results of operations and future financial condition may differ
materially from those expressed or implied in any such forward-looking
statements as a result of many factors, including factors that may be beyond the
Company's control. Other factors that may cause actual results of operations and
future financial condition to differ from those expressed or implied in any
forward-looking statements contained herein include adverse changes in
relationships with key vendors and factors, changes in consumer preferences,
competition from existing and potential competitors and general economic
conditions.

The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not
exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statements contained herein or that may be made from time to time by or on
behalf of the Company.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Inventory

Merchandise inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market as
determined by the retail inventory method, which the Company believes
approximates fair value. However, certain warehoused inventory that is not
immediately available for sale is valued on a specific cost basis. The
merchandise inventory valued on a specific cost basis at August 3, 2002 and
August 4, 2001 was $15.8 million and $13.9 million, respectively.

The Company takes permanent markdowns to reduce prices as goods age. The
resulting gross profit reduction is recognized in the period the markdown is
recorded.

8


Shrinkage is estimated as a percentage of sales for the period from the
last inventory date, July 13, 2002, through August 3, 2002, the end of the
reporting period. This estimate is based on experience and the most recent
physical inventory results. Physical inventories are taken twice annually and
inventory records are adjusted accordingly.

Revenue Recognition and Leased Sales

The Company recognizes revenue when goods are sold, at retail, to customers
in its stores. The Company adopted SAB 101 in fiscal year 2000 and sales from
leased departments are not reflected in the net sales reported on the Company's
statements of operations. Fragrances is the only leased department. Gross profit
from fragrance sales is shown as revenue from leased departments on the
Company's statements of operations.
