                              WEINER'S STORES, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)   Basis of Presentation

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
which management considers necessary to present fairly the financial position of
Weiner's Stores, Inc. (the "Company") as of April 29, 2000, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the thirteen week periods ended
April 29, 2000 and May 1, 1999, respectively. The results of operations for the
thirteen week period ended April 29, 2000 may not be indicative of the results
for the entire year.

         These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2000 and
related notes which are included in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders
and incorporated by reference in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended January 29, 2000. Accordingly, significant accounting
policies and other disclosures necessary for complete financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted since
such items are reflected in the Company's audited financial statements and
related notes thereto.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2) Accrued Expenses

         Accrued expenses consisted of the following:

                                           April 29, 2000      January 29, 2000
                                           --------------      ----------------

            Payroll and related benefits     $1,086,000           $1,706,000
            Taxes other than income taxes     2,338,000            1,308,000
            Rent and other related costs      1,627,000            1,943,000
            Other                             3,997,000            2,884,000
                                             ----------           ----------
                                Total        $9,048,000           $7,841,000
                                             ==========           ==========


 (3)  Long-Term Debt

         At April 29, 2000, the Company had approximately $15,233,000 of
availability under its $40,000,000 working capital facility, after considering
outstanding letters of credit of approximately $2,178,000. The Company may
prepay amounts outstanding under the working capital facility without penalty.
As of April 29, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its
revolving credit agreement.

(4)  Leases

     During the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2000, the Company entered into
new leases for six stores and executed renewal options on several locations.
Future minimum rental payments have increased approximately $4,655,000 since
January 29, 2000, bringing the total future minimum rental payments under all
noncancelable operating leases with initial or remaining lease terms of one year
or more to approximately $51,281,000.


                                       6

         Total rent expense for all operating leases was as follows:

                               Thirteen               Thirteen

                           ------------------     ------------------
          Total                $   3,081,000           $  2,841,000
                           ==================     ==================

(5)  Stock Based Awards

         On March 24, 2000, under the 1999 Stock Plan, options to purchase
214,000 shares of common stock were granted to certain officers and key
employees at an exercise price of $0.31 per share, the fair market value on that
date. At April 29, 2000, there were vested options outstanding to purchase
733,333 shares of common stock at a weighted average per share exercise price of
$1.09.

(6) Income Taxes

         The Company provides United States federal income taxes based on its
estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year. No income tax provision
was recorded in either the first thirteen weeks of 2000 or of 1999. The
recognition of income tax benefits is affected by limitations on the Company's
ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards.

(7)  New Accounting Pronouncements

         The Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB
101"), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company
has implemented all provisions of SAB 101, including the treatment of leased
department and layaway sales, effective for fiscal year 2000, beginning January
30, 2000. In relation to its adoption of SAB 101, the Company has recorded
during the first quarter of 2000 a cumulative effect adjustment for a change in
accounting in the amount of $294,000 and recognized additional gross revenues of
$851,000. These one-time adjustments were necessary to correctly account for
those layaways held as accounts receivable at the end of fiscal year 1999.
Proforma results of operations for the first quarter of 1999 have not been
provided as it is impracticable to determine such amounts.

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. The Company does not participate in the use of derivatives and
does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial presentation.

(8)  Earnings Per Share

         Net income per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and equivalent shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. The computation of weighted average shares of
common stock outstanding is as follows:

                                                April 29, 2000      May 1, 1999
                                                --------------      -----------

      Weighted average number of shares of
           common stock outstanding               18,509,710        18,476,830
      Common stock equivalent - shares issuable
           under the stock incentive plans              --                --
                                                  ----------        ----------
      Weighted average shares of common stock
           outstanding assuming full dilution     18,509,710        18,476,830
                                                  ==========        ==========


                                       7
<PAGE>

         As of April 29, 2000, the Company's common stock was not actively
traded. The Company has determined that none of its common stock had appreciated
beyond the underlying exercise price of the option based on the most recent
trading activity as of April 29, 2000 (resulting in no dilution for the earnings
per share computations).

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Weiner's Stores, Inc. (the
"Company") contains forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate,"
"believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "seek," "estimate," "project," "will,"
"could," "may" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. These statements include, among others, information regarding future
operations, future capital expenditures and future cash flow. Such statements
reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial
performance and involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation,
general economic and business conditions, changes in foreign, political, social
and economic conditions, regulatory initiatives and compliance with governmental
regulations, the ability of the Company and its competitors to predict fashion
trends and customer preferences and achieve further market penetration and
additional customers, consumer apparel buying patterns, adverse weather
conditions, inventory risks due to shifts in market demand, and various other
matters, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Should one or more of
these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove to be
incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those
anticipated, believed, estimated or otherwise indicated. Consequently, all of
the forward-looking statements made in this Report are qualified by these
cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or
developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if
substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or
effect on the Company or its business or operations. The Company does not
undertake and expressly disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise
any such forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it
clear that the projected results expressed or implied therein will not be
realized.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL 29, 2000 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MAY 1, 1999

         Total net sales for the first quarter of 2000 decreased 4.8% to
$66,207,000 from $69,602,000 in the first quarter of 1999. The decrease is
primarily attributable to an 8.9% decrease in comparable store sales. Comparable
store sales were impacted by the Company's adoption of Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). Prior to the
adoption of SAB 101, the Company recognized layaway sales at the time when the
items were placed in layaway by the customer. SAB 101 states that layaway sales
are to be recognized upon the delivery of the merchandise to the customer. Under
SAB 101, the Company has deferred from the first quarter of 2000 $1,666,000 in
layaway transactions until future periods. The Company also recognized in the
first quarter of 2000 an additional $851,000 in revenue related to those layaway
transactions held as accounts receivable at the end of fiscal year 1999. Had the
Company continued reporting layaway sales at the inception of the layaway, total
net sales for the first quarter of 2000 would have been $67,022,000, or a 3.7%
decrease from the first quarter 1999.

         Leased department revenue in the first quarter of 2000 reflects the
revenues the Company received for the sales of designer fragrances and unbranded
shoes. The Company is currently testing a leased department for unbranded shoes
in eight stores. These leased departments were not in existence in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999.

         Cost of goods sold for the first quarter of 2000 decreased to
$42,355,000 from $45,180,000 in the first quarter of 1999. As a percentage of
revenues, cost of goods sold for the first quarter of 2000 decreased to 63.8%
from 64.9% in the first quarter of 1999. The decreases are primarily
attributable to the sales declines discussed above. Gross margin in the first
quarter of 2000 increased as a percentage of revenues to 36.2% from 35.1% in the
first quarter of 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to higher initial
markup and lower promotional markdowns.


                                       8
<PAGE>

         Selling, administrative and other operating costs increased to
$23,836,000 in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $22,179,000 in the first
quarter of 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to increased advertising
and rent expense relating to new stores. As a percentage of revenues, selling,
administrative and other operating costs in the first quarter of 2000 increased
to 35.9% from 31.9% in the first quarter of 1999. This increase is primarily
attributable to the decrease in sales and increase in expenses associated with
new stores as discussed above.

         Operating income decreased to $231,000 in the first quarter of 2000
from $2,243,000 in the first quarter of 1999. The Company is focusing on its
inventory mix and evaluating overall expense control initiatives to attempt to
enhance operating results for fiscal 2000.

         The Company provides United States federal income taxes based on its
estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year. No income tax provision
was recorded in either the first quarter of 2000 or the first quarter of 1999.
The recognition of income tax benefits is affected by limitations on the
Company's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards.

         The Company recorded interest expense of $397,000 in the first quarter
of 2000 compared to $210,000 in the first quarter of 1999. Interest expense has
increased due to the increase in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement
referred to below and increases in interest rates thereunder.

         The Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment for a change in
accounting of $294,000 in the first quarter of 2000 due to the adoption of SAB
101. The change reflects a restatement for those layaways held as accounts
receivable at the end of fiscal year 1999.

         The Company's net loss for the first quarter of 2000 was $460,000, or
$0.02 per share of common stock, compared to a net income of $2,033,000 or $0.11
per share of common stock for the first quarter of 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash from Operations and Working Capital

         The Company's cash used in operations was $6,378,000 during the
thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2000, compared to cash used in operations of
$9,506,000 during the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 1999. The decrease in cash
used in operations is primarily attributable to the Company's efforts to control
inventory levels. The Company's primary source of liquidity has been borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated August 26, 1997, as amended, among
the Company and The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc., as agent and the lenders
thereunder (the "Revolving Credit Agreement").

Revolving Credit Agreement

         The Company's Revolving Credit Agreement provides a $40,000,000 working
capital facility, including a $15,000,000 sub-facility for the issuance of
letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Agreement is secured by substantially
all of the Company's assets. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides that
proceeds may be used solely to fund working capital in the ordinary course of
business and for other general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at the reference rate thereunder plus
0.5% or, at the option of the Company, the Eurodollar Rate thereunder plus 2.5%.
Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, capital expenditures are
limited to $8,500,000 in each of fiscal years 2000, 2001 and 2002 and to
$5,000,000 for the period commencing February 2, 2002 and ending August 30,
2003. The Revolving Credit Agreement further stipulates certain borrowing
limitations based on the Company's inventory levels and requires that the
Company comply with certain financial covenants. The Revolving Credit Agreement
also restricts future liens and indebtedness, sales of assets and dividend
payments. The expiration date of the Revolving Credit Agreement is August 30,
2003. As of April 29, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all covenants
under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

         At April 29, 2000, the Company had approximately $15,233,000 of
availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement, after considering borrowings
and outstanding letters of credit. At April 29, 2000, the aggregate amount of
outstanding letters of credit thereunder was approximately $2,178,000. The
Company may prepay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement
without penalty.

         The Company believes that its internally generated cash flow, together
with borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement, will be adequate to
finance the Company's operating requirements, debt repayments and capital needs
during the foreseeable future. Any material shortfalls in operating cash flow
could require the Company to seek alternative sources of financing or to reduce
capital expenditures.

Capital Expenditures

         The Company's capital expenditures are expected to be approximately
$6,000,000 in fiscal 2000, primarily for the opening of new stores, remodeling
of existing stores and enhancements of the management information systems. The
Company expects to fund these capital expenditures from cash flows from
operations and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

NEW ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

         The Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has issued SAB 101,
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company has
implemented all provisions of SAB 101, including the treatment of leased
department and layaway sales, effective for fiscal year 2000, beginning January
30, 2000. In relation to its adoption of SAB 101, the Company has recorded
during the first quarter of 2000 a cumulative effect adjustment for a change in
accounting in the amount of $294,000 and recognized additional gross revenues of
$851,000. These one-time adjustments were necessary to correctly account for
those layaways held as accounts receivable at the end of fiscal year 1999.
Proforma results of operations for the first quarter of 1999 have not been
provided as it is impracticable to determine such amounts.

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. The Company does not participate in the use of derivatives and
does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial presentation.
