             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 (Unaudited)

1.  The financial information included herein was prepared in conformity
    with generally accepted accounting principles and such principles were
    applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in the 1996 Form
    10-K Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
    The accompanying financial data should be read in conjunction with
    the notes to consolidated financial statements contained in the 1996
    Form 10-K Annual Report.

    The information furnished herein, other than the Condensed Consolidated
    Balance Sheet as of March 2, 1996, is unaudited and includes all adjustments
    and accruals consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which
    are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of
    results for the interim periods.  The Condensed Consolidated Balance
    Sheet as of March 2, 1996 has been derived from, and does not include
    all the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements as
    of and for the year ended March 2, 1996.

2.  Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's business, operating
    results for the first twenty-six weeks are not considered to be indicative
    of the results that may be expected for the full year.  Historically,
    the Company realizes a major portion of its annual revenues and most
    of its earnings in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year.

3.  Common share equivalents were not included in the computation of
    earnings per share for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August
    31, 1996 and August 26, 1995, because the periods resulted in net losses
    and the effect would be antidilutive.

4.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the Condensed Consolidated
    Balance Sheets for August 26, 1995 and March 2, 1996 and the Condensed
    Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the twenty-six weeks ended
    August 26, 1995 to conform to the presentation for August 31, 1996.
    Such reclassifications did not effect the previously reported operating
    results.

5.  On October 11, 1996, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement
    to reflect its current operating condition.

                                       - 5 -

6.  On September 27, 1996, the Company entered into a contract, subject
    to due diligence on behalf of the purchaser, to sell its property in
    Fort Worth, Texas for $350,000.  The purchase agreement, as contemplated,
    is expected to close no later than December 13, 1996.  Proceeds will be
    used to pay down long-term debt as required by the loan agreement.

7.  Subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company, pursuant
    to the Evans, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Program, granted 41,500 options
    to 62 key employees at the price of $2.25 being 100% of market value
    on the date of grant.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
           and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at August 31, 1996 were $764,000 as compared
to $1,378,000 at March 2, 1996.  The decrease was due to cash used
in operating activities of $2,528,000 and cash used in investing activities
of $255,000, partially offset by cash provided by financing activities
of $2,169,000.

The cash used in operating activities was due primarily to the net
loss of $2,187,000, an increase in merchandise inventories of $2,684,000
due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business and a decrease
in accounts payable of $408,000, partially offset by a decrease in
accounts receivable of $3,208,000.

The cash used in investing activities was largely the result of additions
to property and equipment of $260,000.

The cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to an increase
in notes payable of $2,488,000, partially offset by principal payments
on long-term debt of $319,000.

Working capital at August 31, 1996 was $7,718,000 as compared to $9,785,000
at March 2, 1996.

The revolving line of credit which expires May 31, 1998 is considered
adequate to finance seasonal inventory requirements as well as commitments
for capital expenditures during fiscal 1997.

Results of Operations

Total revenues for the second quarter ended August 31, 1996 decreased
$1,353,000 (11.0%) as compared to the same period last year.  Overall,
fur merchandise sales were comparable with the prior year.  Included
in the second quarter were $335,000 in sales associated with a successful
store closing event related to the termination of the Company's license
agreement with Strawbridge & Clothier partially offset by a $261,000
(8.8%) decrease at comparable locations and an $81,000 decrease associated
with locations closed subsequent to the second quarter of the prior
year.  Women's ready-to-wear sales decreased $1,238,000 (25.0%) due
primarily to a decrease of $1,088,000 (22.6%) in sales at comparable
locations and a decrease of $150,000 in sales associated with a Company
owned location closed subsequent to the second quarter of the prior
year.  Service revenues decreased $108,000 (2.5%) due primarily to
a decrease of $210,000 in sales associated with locations closed subsequent
to the second quarter of the prior year partially offset by an increase
of $102,000 (2.6%) in sales at comparable locations.

           and Results of Operations

Results of Operations, continued

Total revenues for the first six months decreased $5,131,000 (17.3%)
as compared to the same period last year.  Fur merchandise sales decreased
$1,573,000 (19.1%) due primarily to a $1,150,000 (15.6%) decrease in
sales at comparable locations and a $758,000 decrease in sales associated
with locations closed during and subsequent to the first quarter of
the prior year.  These decreases were partially offset by $335,000
in sales associated with a successful store closing event as a result
of the termination of the Company's license agreement with Strawbridge
& Clothier.  Women's ready-to-wear sales decreased $3,133,000 (26.0%)
due primarily to a $2,467,000 (21.7%) decrease in sales at comparable
locations and a $666,000 decrease in sales associated with two Company
owned locations closed during and subsequent to the first quarter of
the prior year. The decrease in women's ready-to-wear sales at comparable
locations is indicative of the fiercely competitive retail atmosphere in
women's apparel.  Service revenues decreased $425,000 (4.6%) due primarily
to a $688,000 decrease in sales associated with locations closed during
and subsequent to the first quarter of the prior year, partially offset
by an increase of $263,000 (3.1%) in sales at comparable locations.

Cost of goods and services sold, buying and occupancy costs as a percentage
of total revenues for the second quarter and first six months decreased
(70.2% versus 72.8% and 66.2% versus 70.8%, respectively) in comparison
with the prior year periods.  Cost of goods and services sold as a
percentage of total revenues for the second quarter and first six months
decreased (49.4% versus 52.2% and 47.1% versus 53.5%, respectively)
due primarily to the Company's continuing to achieve higher gross margins
on merchandise sales.  Buying costs as a percentage of total revenues
for the second quarter and first six months were comparable with prior
year levels.  Occupancy costs as a percentage of total revenues for
the second quarter were comparable with the same period last year.
Occupancy costs as a percentage of total revenues for the first six
months increased (15.4% versus 14.3%) due primarily to the impact of
fixed rental costs as measured against the overall decrease in sales.

Total selling and general expenses decreased $157,000 (2.9%) and $852,000
(7.1%) for the second quarter and first six months, respectively, as
compared to the prior year periods.  Payroll and related fringe benefits
decreased $161,000 (4.1%) and $618,000 (7.4%) for the second quarter
and first six months, respectively, due primarily to costs associated
with locations closed during and subsequent to the first quarter of
the prior year and staff reductions initiated subsequent to the second
quarter of the prior year.  Advertising expense decreased $58,000 (16.9%)
and $292,000 (19.5%) for the second quarter and first six months, respectively.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

Results of Operations, continued

Interest expense for the second quarter and first six months increased
$30,000 (9.3%) and $83,000 (13.7%) respectively, due primarily to higher
average short-term borrowings as compared to the prior year periods.

The lower pre-tax losses for the second quarter and first six months
($2,406,000 versus $2,473,000 and $3,770,000 versus $4,220,000, respectively)
were due largely to the increase in gross margin percentages and the
decrease in selling and general expenses in comparison with the same
periods last year.

The income tax credits for the second quarter and first six months
of the prior year were offset by increases in the Company's valuation
allowance with respect to the future tax benefits of the net operating
losses as a result of the uncertainty of their ultimate realization.
