                        HAMPTON INDUSTRIES, INC.
               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (Information as of March 29, 1997 and March 30, 1996 is unaudited.)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated balance sheets as of March 29, 1997 and March 30, 1996 
and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the thirteen 
week period 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 March 29, 1997 and March 30, 1996 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 statements be read in conjunction with the 
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 
December 28, 1996 Annual Report to shareholders.  The results of operations 
for the period ended March 29, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the 
operating results for the full year.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial 
statements of March 30, 1996 to conform to classifications used at March 
29, 1997.

2. CREDIT FACILITY

The credit facility ("Credit Facility") between Hampton Industries, Inc. 
and BNY Financial Corporation, as Agent, provides for a maximum line of credit 
of $100,000,000, which includes both direct loans and letters of credit.  
Availability under the Credit Facility is based on a formula of eligible 
accounts receivable and eligible inventory and provides for seasonal 
overadvances of up to $17,500,000 within the $100,000,000 maximum line of 
credit.  Direct borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate, 
plus the applicable margin (as defined in the Credit Facility) or the Prime 
Rate, at the option of the Company.  Borrowings are collateralized by accounts 
receivable, inventory and general intangibles of the Company and its 
subsidiaries and expires in May 1999.

The Credit Facility contains financial covenants, including but not 
limited to, tangible net worth and interest coverage, restricts fixed asset 
purchases and does not allow for the payment of cash dividends.  The Company 
is not required to maintain compensating balances, however, it is required to 
pay a fee of 1/4 of 1% per annum on the unused portion of the total facility 
and certain other administrative costs.

3. STOCK OPTIONS

In 1992, the stockholders approved a non-qualified stock option plan 
(the "Plan") under which there are presently reserved 363,000 shares of common
stock.  The Plan is administered by a committee designated by the 
board of directors.  Options granted to eligible employees are exercisable in 
increments of 20% annually.  Stock to be offered under the Plan consists of 
I-4

shares of the common stock of the company, whether authorized but unissued or 
reacquired by the Company.
<TABLE>
On May 30, 1996, options were granted for 279,500 shares at $4.50 per 
share, the fair market value on the date of grant.  On March 19, 1997, options 
were granted for 73,000 shares at $6.75 per share, the fair market value on 
the date of the grant.  The exercise price may be paid in cash, common stock 
of the Company, or a combination thereof.  A summary of the changes in common 
stock options is as follows:

None of the stock options were exercisable at March 29, 1997.

The Company applies the provisions of APB Opinion 25 and related 
Interpretations in accounting for its stock options.  Accordingly, no 
compensation cost has been recognized for the foregoing options.  The excess, 
if any, of the fair market value of shares on the measurement date over the 
exercise price is charged to operations each year as the options become 
exercisable.  Had compensation cost for these options been determined using 
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model described in FASB Statement 123, the 
Company would have recorded aggregate compensation expense of approximately 
$490,100 for the May 30, 1996 grants and $221,300 for the March 19, 1997 
grants.  These amounts would be expensed at the rate of 20% per annum over the 
option's vesting period.  The assumptions used in the option-pricing model 
include a risk-free interest rate of 6.7%, expected life of 3 years and ten 
months and expected volatility of 39.25%.  The pro forma impact of following 
the provisions of FASB Statement 123 on the Company's operations and income 
per share would be as follows:

          THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MARCH 29, 1997 AS COMPARED TO 
              THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MARCH 30, 1996


Net sales increased by $420,000 or 1.2% for the quarter as compared to
March 30, 1996.  The increase is principally due to an increase in the net 
dozens shipped of 1.8% offset by a decline in average price per dozen, due to a
change in product mix.  Sales of "branded" apparel decreased slightly for the 
period primarily due to earlier shipments of spring merchandise in December 
1996.  The comparable shipments occurred in January 1996 in the prior year.

Gross profit increased by $1,242,000 during the quarter ended March 29, 1997
or 24.6% of net sales as compared to 21.4% for the corresponding prior period.
This improvement in margins continues to reflect the emphasis on higher margin
sales and an emphasis on cost reductions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses declined by $241,000 or 
3.1% during the quarter ended March 29, 1997, as compared to the prior period 
due to actions taken in the prior year to reduce certain expenses.  Decreases in
personnel related expenses were partially offset by increases in expenditures
for samples and travel.

Interest expense declined due to the lower level of borrowings.  The 
effective tax rate for 1997 was 41.7% as compared to 36.7% in the prior 
period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility amounted to $5,900,000 
at March 29, 1997 as compared to $20,850,000 at March 30, 1996 and $400,000 at 
December 28, 1996.  Outstanding letters of credit amounted to $25,498,000 at 
March 29, 1997 as compared to $31,825,000 at March 30, 1996 and $21,908,000 at 
December 28, 1996.

The credit facility ("Credit Facility") between Hampton Industries, Inc. 
and BNY Financial Corporation, as Agent provides for a maximum line of credit 
of $100,000,000, which includes both direct loans and letters of credit.  
Availability under the Credit Facility is based on a formula of eligible 
accounts receivable and eligible inventory and provides for seasonal 
overadvances of up to $17,500,000 within the $100,000,000 maximum line of 
credit.  Direct borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate, 
plus the applicable margin (as defined in the Credit Facility) or the Prime 
Rate, at the option of the Company.  Borrowings are collateralized by accounts 
receivable, inventory and general intangibles of the Company and its 
subsidiaries and expires in May 1999.

The Credit Facility contains financial covenants, including but not 
limited to, tangible net worth and interest coverage, restricts fixed asset 
purchases and does not allow for the payment of cash dividends.  The Company 
is not required to maintain compensating balances, however, it is required to 
pay a fee of 1/4 of 1% per annum on the unused portion of the total facility 
and certain other administrative costs.

At March 29, 1997, the Company's working capital approximated 
$40,386,000 as compared to $45,054,000 in the prior year.  The current ratio 
was 3.54 in the current period as compared to 2.77 in the prior year.  In 1996,
$7,750,000 of the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility was 
classified as long term debt which had the effect of improving both working 
capital and the current ratio in that year.  In the current year, all borrowings
under the Credit Facility are classified as a current liablilty.

Net cash used in operating activities increased in the current thirteen 
week period as compared to the same period in the prior year.  At December 30,
1995, the balances of inventories and receivables were such that the Company 
instituted programs to improve inventory turns and collection of receivables.
During 1996 these efforts made a significant improvement in cashflow generated 
from operations.  The current period reflects a more normal operating use of 
cash as measured against the balances as of December 28, 1996, reflecting a 
normal increase in inventories to support future sales and a normal increase in
receivables due to seasonal sales.

Investing activities include normal replacements of machinery and 
equipment and building improvements.  There are no major expenditures planned 
for the remainder of 1997 and to the extent that normal investments are 
made, they will be financed from operations.

Financing activities report the changes in bank borrowings and other 
debt which support inventory and accounts receivable levels and other 
investments.  Cash provided by financing activities during the quarter 
ended March 29, 1997 increased $5,352,000 which relates to borrowings under 
the Company's Credit Facility. 

On May 30, 1996, options were granted for 279,500 shares at $4.50 per 
share, the fair market value on the date of grant.  On March 19, 1997, options 
were granted for 73,000 shares at $6.75 per share, the fair market value on 
the date of the grant.  The exercise price may be paid in cash, common stock 
I-7

of the Company, or a combination thereof.  A total of 345,000 options were 
outstanding at March 29, 1997, however, none are currently exercisable.

The Company applies the provisions of APB Opinion 25 and related 
Interpretations in accounting for its stock options.  Accordingly, no 
compensation cost has been recognized for the foregoing options.  The excess, 
if any, of the fair market value of shares on the measurement date over the 
exercise price is charged to operations each year as the options become 
exercisable.  Had compensation cost for these options been determined using 
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model described in FASB Statement 123, the 
Company would have recorded aggregate compensation expense of approximately 
$490,100 for the May 30, 1996 grants and $221,300 for the March 19, 1997 
grants.  These amounts would be expensed at the rate of 20% per annum over the 
option's vesting period.  The assumptions used in the option-pricing model 
include a risk-free interest rate of 6.7%, expected life of 3 years and ten 
months and expected volatility of 39.25%.  

The Company's backlog of orders at March 29, 1997 was approximately 
$88,984,000 as compared to $93,307,000 in the prior year.  Management believes 
that the sales to date, the order backlog and anticipated new orders will be 
sufficient to meet the sales goals for the Company.

Management believes that the credit available under the Credit Facility 
together with the cash expected to be generated from operations, is adequate 
to meet the Company's financing requirements for the foreseeable future.

Impact of Inflation

General inflation in the economy has increased operating expenses of 
most businesses.  The Company has provided compensation increases generally in 
line with the inflation rate and incurred higher prices for materials, goods 
and services.  The Company continually seeks methods of reducing cost and 
streamlining operations while maximizing efficiency through improved internal 
operating procedures and controls.  While the Company is subject to inflation 
as described above, management believes that inflation currently does not have 
a material effect on the Company's operating results, but there can be no 
assurance that this will continue to be so in the future.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings per
Share, effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15,
1997, establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
("EPS") and simplifies the standards for computing EPS currently found in 
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, Earnings Per Share.  Common stock 
equivalents under APB No. 15, with the exception of contingently issuable shares
(shares issuable for little or no cash consideration), are no longer included
in the calculation of primary, or basic EPS. Under SFAS No. 128, contingently
issuable shares are included in the calculation of primary EPS. There will be no
impact on reported EPS of adopting this statement.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters 
outlined in the management's discussion and analysis include forward looking 
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including quarterly 
fluctuation in results, retail sell rates for the Company's products which may 
result in more or less orders than those anticipated and the impact of 
competitive products and pricing.  In addition, other risks and uncertainties 
are detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports, including the 
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 1996.
