Loehmann's Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The balance sheet at May 3, 2003 and the statements of operations and
cash flows for the quarter ended May 3, 2003 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 ended May 3,
2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending January 31, 2004. It is suggested that these unaudited
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2003 included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year.

2. RECLASSIFICATION

Certain items in fiscal year 2002 have been reclassified to present
them on a basis consistent with later periods.

3. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided for under the liability method using an
effective tax rate of 41%.

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. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On June 9, 2003, the Company redeemed $5.7 million of its 11% Senior
Notes due December 2005. These notes have been reclassified as current portion
of long-term debt on the Company's balance sheet at May 3, 2003.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS" 148), which amends
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), to provide
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The Company has not
adopted a method under SFAS 148 to expense stock options but rather continues to
follow APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for stock options and


5



accordingly, has recognized no compensation expense with respect to options
granted to key employees or options granted to non-employee directors. Had
compensation cost been determined based upon the fair value at grant date for
awards consistent with the methodology prescribed by SFAS 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", the Company's net income and net income per share
would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Net income - as reported $ 2.8 $ 4.2

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF THE QUARTERS ENDED MAY 3, 2003 AND MAY 4,
2002

Comparable store sales (stores that were in operation for both periods)
decreased by 7.7 % for the quarter ended May 3, 2003 compared to the same period
in fiscal 2002. Net sales for the quarter ended May 3, 2003 were $90.4 million
as compared to $93.4 million for the comparable period in the prior year. Sales
for the quarter were adversely impacted by a reduction in customer traffic
prompted primarily by unseasonably cold weather (particularly in the Northeast
which accounts for approximately 45% of our business), a weak economy and the
war in Iraq. The decrease of $3.0 million is attributable to (i) the comparable
store sales decrease of $7.0 million, (ii) an increase of $6.4 million in sales
related to five new stores and (iii) a decrease of $2.4 million in sales related
to three closed stores.

Gross profit percentage increased to 40.3% from 39.5% in the prior year
period. The increase in gross profit percentage was due primarily to strong
full-price sell through in the current quarter. Gross profit for the quarter
ended May 3, 2003 was $36.4 million as compared to $36.9 million for the same
period in the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net
sales, for the quarter ended May 3, 2003, increased to 32.3% from 29.2% in the
prior period. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $29.2
million from $27.3 million in the prior period. The increase of $1.9 million was
primarily due to (i) $2.2 million of expenses related to the five new stores
opened within the past nine months and (ii) an increase of $0.4 million is
advertising expenses incurred at stores open for at least a year. This increase
is partially offset by a $0.5 million reduction in expenses due to the closing
of three stores. Included in the $2.2 million in new store expenses were $0.6
million of one-time pre-opening expenses for the three stores opened in the
current quarter.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter ended May 3,
2003, was $2.3 million as compared to $2.2 million for the same period in the
prior year.


6



As a result of the items explained above, operating income decreased by
$2.6 million to $5.2 million, or 5.7% of sales, in the quarter ended May 3, 2003
as compared to operating income of $7.7 million, or 8.3% of sales, in the
quarter ended May 4, 2002.

Net interest expense for the quarter ended May 3, 2003 was $0.5 million
as compared to $0.8 million for the same period in the prior year. In November
2002, the Company redeemed $15.0 million of its 11% Senior notes due December
2005, resulting in a decrease in interest on the Company's senior notes to $0.3
million from $0.7 million.

Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, inventory is
normally at its lowest point at the end of the fiscal year and increases to peak
levels during the first quarter of the fiscal year. Therefore, there will
typically be a large increase in the inventory from the end of a fiscal year to
the end of the first quarter of the following fiscal year. For the first quarter
of fiscal year 2003, inventory increased by $12.6 million to $64.1 million from
$51.5 million at February 1, 2003. The increase of $12.6 million was
attributable to (i) an increase in the Company's pack-away inventory of $4.2
million due to opportunistic purchases of fall season merchandise made during
the period, (ii) an increase in inventory for new stores of $3.5 million and
(iii) an increase in the inventory at stores in operation for at least one year
of $4.9 million.

Inventory at the end of the first fiscal quarter is $13.1 million
higher than one year ago due to (i) an increase in the Company's pack-away
inventory of $7.0 million due to opportunistic purchases of fall season
merchandise made during the period, (ii) inventory for new stores of $4.2
million and (iii) an increase in the inventory at stores in operation for at
least one year of $1.9 million.

Accounts receivable and other current assets for the period ended May
3, 2003, were $7.7 million compared to $5.8 million at February 1, 2003. The
increase of $1.9 million was due primarily to an increase in third-party credit
card sales receivable of $1.2 million and an increase in prepaid insurance
expense of $0.5 million.

Income taxes payable for the period ended May 3, 2003, were $0.7
million compared to $1.4 million at February 1, 2003. The decrease was primarily
due to estimated state and federal taxes payments made during the quarter ended
May 3, 2003.

On June 9, 2003, the Company redeemed $5.7 million of its 11% Senior
notes due December 2005. These notes have been reclassified as current portion
of long-term debt on the Company's balance sheet at May 3, 2003. Consequently,
the long-term balance on the 11% Senior notes due December 2005 decreased by
$5.7 million reflecting the reclassification.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has a $60.0 million Credit Facility 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.

The indebtedness under the Credit Facility bears interest at variable
rates based on LIBOR plus 2.5% or the prime rate plus 1.5% on borrowings. There
is an unused line fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the Credit
Facility.


7



The Credit Facility contains certain customary covenants, including
limitations on indebtedness, liens, and restricted payments. In addition, the
Company is required to satisfy, among other things, certain financial
performance criteria including minimum EBITDA requirements, fixed charge
coverage ratio, inventory turn ratio and maximum capital expenditure costs. The
Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants.

As of May 3, 2003, the Company had net borrowings of $3.6 million and
documentary letters of credit of $4.6 million outstanding with $41.1 million of
unused availability under the Credit Facility.

Net cash used in operations for the quarter ended May 3, 2003 was $10.6
million compared to $0.8 million provided by operations in the prior year. The
usage was primarily due to an increase in inventory of $12.6 million and a
decrease in accrued expenses and income taxes payable of $1.1 million and $0.7
million, respectively. Capital expenditures for the quarter were $2.7 million.
The new stores in Troy, MI, East Hanover, NJ and Chevy Chase, MD accounted for
$1.6 million of the $2.7 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, referred to as
pack-away inventory, a portion of which is not immediately available for sale,
is valued on a specific cost basis. The pack-away inventory valued on a specific
cost basis at May 3, 2003 and May 4, 2002 was $21.5 million and $14.4 million,
respectively.

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

Shrinkage is estimated as a percentage of sales for the period from the
last physical inventory date to the end of each reporting period. Such estimates
are based on experience and recent physical inventory results. Physical
inventories are taken twice annually and inventory records are adjusted
accordingly.


8



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 fragrances, a leased department, are not reflected in the net sales
reported on the Company's statement of operations. Gross profit from fragrance
sales is shown as revenue from leased departments on the Company's statement of
operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company has assessed its vulnerability to certain market risks,
including interest rate risk associated with financial instruments included in
cash and cash equivalents. Due to the short-term nature of these investments the
Company has determined that the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations
related to these financial instruments do not pose a material risk to the
Company.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, an
evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of
the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. Based upon the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and
procedures are effective.

There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal
controls subsequent to the date of the Company's most recent evaluation,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses.
