HAMPTON INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    (Information as of July 1, 1995 and June 25, 1994 is
unaudited.)

1.  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

     The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 1, 1995
and June 25, 1994 and the condensed consolidated statements of 
operations for the twenty-six and thirteen-week periods then
ended have been prepared by the Company, without audit.  In the 
opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, 
results of operations and cash flows at July 1, 1995 and for all 
periods presented have been made.
     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. 
It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial

    Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost or market.  Cost
is determined primarily by the last-in, first-out method (LIFO). 
The LIFO method results in a better matching of cost and revenues. 
At July 1, 1995, June 25, 1994, and December 31, 1994, inventories
at LIFO were approximately $6,163,000, $6,862,000 and $5,289,000
lower, respectively, than they would have been had the first-in,
first-out method of determining cost been used.  The LIFO valuation method 
had the effect of decreasing net earnings by $529,000 ($.12 per
share) for the twenty-six weeks  and $197,000 ($.05 per share)
for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 1995, and decreasing net earnings by
$909,000 ($.20 per share) for the twenty-six weeks and $339,000 ($.07 per 
share) for the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 1994.

4.  OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
     Included in other current assets are estimated tax refunds
of approximately $400,000 at July 1, 1995, $866,000 at June 25,

5.  RESTRUCTURING COSTS

     On July 18, 1995, the Company announced the closings of two 
manufacturing facilities which completes the Company's program
of reducing excess domestic production capacity begun three years
ago.  The closing costs related thereto are included in the second
quarter statement of operations as Provision for restructuring costs. 
The restructuring reduced the workforce by approximately 400
associates or 25% of total employees.  Plant closing costs totaled
approximately $1,211,000 representing severance pay, payroll taxes and a
noncash charge of $610,000 relating to the writedown of the
manufacturing equipment to estimated realizable value.  
     In the first quarter of 1994, management announced the
closing of a domestic manufacturing plant, which closing was completed
in July, 1994.  The estimated costs of closing this plant are
included in the accompanying statements of operations as Provision for 
restructuring costs.  The restructuring costs included
approximately $1,434,000 in noncash charges related to the estimated
disposition value of the facility and manufacturing equipment and
approximately $844,000 of severance and related closing costs.  

6.  BANK CREDIT AGREEMENT

     During the quarter, the Company was in violation of certain 
provisions of the Bank Credit Agreement relating to the ratio of 
borrowing levels to collateral and the ratio of interest
coverage, which the Banks have agreed to waive.

</TABLE>

     THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JULY 1, 1995 AS COMPARED TO THE
THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 25, 1994

     Average selling prices increased by 19.1% during the
period, however, 24.6% fewer dozens were shipped resulting in a decrease
in net sales of 11.6%.  Average prices were impacted by a change in
product mix.  1995 included lower sales of promotional goods, as well as 
sales of the newly introduced "Nautica for Boys" branded
products which command higher selling prices.  The gross profit percent 
improved slightly from the prior year because of the higher
margins associated with Nautica.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a 
percent of sales because of increased  royalty expense, as well
as the decrease in sales volume.
     The charge for restructuring costs results from the closing
of two domestic manufacturing facilities.  The closings will result
in the termination of approximately 400 management and production 
personnel at these facilities, and will effectively reduce the 
Company's work force by approximately 25%.  The charge includes 
approximately $475,000 of termination benefits for the affected 
employees and non-cash charges related to the revaluation of 
machinery and equipment of approximately $610,000.
     Interest expense increased because of the higher level of 
borrowings.
     The effective tax benefit rate decreased from the prior 
year because of the loss of future state tax benefits related 
to the plants that were closed.
I-7

     TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 1, 1995 AS COMPARED TO THE 
TWENTY-SIX  WEEKS ENDED JUNE 25, 1994

     Net sales for the period were 2.1% higher than in 1994, as
a result of a 16.8% increase in average selling prices, reduced by
an 11.5% decrease in units shipped.  The change in product mix,
together with the reduction in sales of promotional goods related to 
discontinued product lines, resulted in higher average selling 
prices.  The improvement in gross margins is the result of the 
increased sale of branded apparel which carry higher gross
margins than other product categories and the decrease in sales of
promotional goods.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses during the
current period were higher in relation to sales than in the prior year 
primarily as a result of the increased sales of branded apparel, 
"Nautica for Boys" and "Rawlings", which sales are subject to
the payment of royalties.
     Restructuring costs were lower in 1995 as compared to 1994.
The combined employment of the plants closed in 1995
approximated that of the plant closed in 1994.  However, the revaluation 
reserves required to write down the facility and equipment to 
their net realizable value in 1994 accounted for the major
portion of the higher restructuring charge in 1994.
     Interest expense increased as a result of increased
borrowing to support the higher inventory levels.
     The effective tax benefit rate decreased to 34.5% as
compared to 37.2% in 1994 because of the greater effect the loss of
future state tax benefits had in 1995 than in 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources                      

     As of the end of the quarter, bank borrowings totaled 
$42,760,000, as compared to $26,545,000 as of June 25, 1994 
and $10,685,000 as of December 31, 1994.  The increased
borrowings were used to finance the higher levels of inventory required to 
meet the delivery schedules associated with the significant
increase in Fall orders.  The Company is presently negotiating an
additional seasonal increase in its line of credit to fund the higher
inventory levels and the anticipated higher accounts receivable levels. 
The credit provided under the Agreement, together with the cash
expected to be generated from operations, is adequate to meet the
Company's short-term financing needs.  During the quarter, the Company was
in violation of certain provisions of the Bank Credit Agreement
relating to the ratio of borrowing levels to collateral and the ratio of 
interest coverage, which the Banks have agreed to waive.

     The Company's backlog of orders as of the end of the
current quarter totaled approximately $129,400,000, all of which is
expected to be shipped in 1995 as compared to $110,000,000 as of the same
date last year.
     Investing activities include normal replacements of
machinery and equipment and building improvements.  The minimal amount of 
expenditures during the period have been financed from the
proceeds of the sales of certain assets.  No major expenditures
are planned for 1995.
