                         EVANS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

             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 thirteen 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 weeks ended June 1, 1996 and May
    27, 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 Sheet for May 27, 1995 to conform to the presentation for March
    2, 1996 and June 1, 1996.  Such reclassifications did not effect the
    previously reported operating results.

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

           and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at June 1, 1996 were $248,000 as compared
to $220,000 at March 2, 1996.  The increase was due to cash provided
by financing activities of $1,939,000 partially offset by cash used
in operating activities of $1,844,000 and cash used in investing activities
of $67,000.

The cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to an increase
in notes payable of $2,022,000.

The cash used in operating activities was due primarily to the net
loss of $791,000 and a decrease in accounts payable of $4,716,000,
partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $2,184,000
and a decrease in merchandise inventories of $1,090,000.

The cash used in investing activities was the result of additions to
property and equipment of $67,000.

Working capital at June 1, 1996 was $9,200,000 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 first quarter ended June 1, 1996 decreased $3,778,000
(21.9%) as compared to the same period last year.  Fur merchandise
sales decreased $1,566,000 (30.0%) due primarily to a decrease of $889,000
(20.1%) in sales at comparable locations and a decrease of $580,000
in sales associated with four Company-owned locations closed during
and subsequent to the first quarter of the prior year.  In addition,
a decrease of $97,000 in sales was associated with the announced termination
of the Company's license agreement with Strawbridge & Clothier.  The
decrease in fur merchandise sales at comparable locations as compared
to the prior year period was due largely to the elimination of certain
highly promotional fur events which produced marginal results last
year.  Women's ready-to-wear sales decreased $1,895,000 (26.8%) due
primarily to a decrease of $1,379,000 (21.0%) in sales at comparable
locations and a decrease of $516,000 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 was indicative of industry trends as well as the impact of
the unseasonably cold spring weather in the midwest during the Mother's
Day and Easter promotional periods.  Service revenues decreased $317,000
(6.4%) due primarily to a decrease of $179,000 in sales associated
with four Company-owned locations closed during and subsequent to the first

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

Results of Operations, continued

quarter of the prior year and a decrease of $299,000 in sales associated with
the announced termination of the Company's license agreement with Strawbridge
& Clothier, partially offset by an increase of $161,000 (3.6%) in sales
at comparable locations.

Cost of goods and services sold, buying and occupancy costs as a percentage
of total revenues for the first quarter were 62.9% as compared to 69.3%
for the same period last year.  Cost of goods and services sold as
a percentage of total revenues decreased (45.2% versus 54.4%) due primarily
to the Company's continuing plan to focus on achieving higher gross
margins on lower planned sales.  Buying costs as a percentage of total
revenues were comparable with prior year levels.  Occupancy costs as
a percentage of total revenues increased (14.1% versus 12.2%) due primarily
to the impact of fixed rental costs as measured against the overall
decrease in sales.

Total selling and general expenses decreased $695,000 (10.5%) as compared
to the prior year due primarily to a decrease of $457,000 (10.5%) in
payroll and related fringe benefits and a decrease of $235,000 (20.2%)
in advertising expense.

Interest expense for the first quarter increased $58,000 (21.2%) due
primarily to higher average short-term borrowings as compared to the
prior year.

The pre-tax loss for the first quarter of $1,364,000 as compared to
$1,747,000 for the same period last year was due largely to the increase
in gross margin percentages and the decrease in selling and general
expenses.

The credit for income taxes in the prior year was offset by an increase
in the Company's valuation allowance with respect to the future tax
benefits of the net operating loss as a result of the uncertainty of
their ultimate realization.
