                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (unaudited)

A.    Accounting Policies

      The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared
by the Company in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission in regard to quarterly reporting.  In the opinion of the Company, the
statements  include  all  adjustments,   consisting  only  of  normal  recurring
adjustments,  which are  necessary  for a fair  representation  of the financial
position and results of operations for interim periods.

B.    Interim Results of Operations

      The  Company's  business  is  highly  seasonal,  with peak  sales  periods
occurring during its fourth fiscal quarter which includes the Christmas  season.
The net earnings of any interim quarter are seasonally  disproportionate  to net
sales since  administrative  and certain  operating  expenses remain  relatively
constant during the year. Consequently, interim results should not be considered
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.

C.    Accounting Change

      During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company changed its method of
determining  the cost of the  majority of its  inventories  to the average  cost
method.  The Company had  previously  determined the cost of the majority of its
inventories using the last-in,  first-out (LIFO) retail inventory method.  Under
the retail LIFO  inventory  method,  the Company had  experienced no significant
inflation in retail  prices in recent years.  At the same time,  the Company had
experienced  cost  reductions  for  certain  goods as a  result  of  volume  and
inventory sourcing efficiencies. Using the average cost method, the Company will
track inventory costs for approximately 130 inventory  categories which are used
to  classify  the  Company's  inventory.   Management  believes  that  reporting
inventories  using the average  cost  method  will result in better  matching of
revenues and costs and reporting on a basis more consistent with other companies
in its industry.

      The  change  in  the  method  of  valuing  inventories  has  been  applied
retroactively  and the effect on net income per share as previously  reported is
as follows:

</TABLE>



      Net sales in the third quarter increased by 4%, or $1.1 million,  over the
same period last year.  This  increase is  primarily  due to the net addition of
nine stores since October 29, 1994.  Comparable  store sales were  approximately
the same as last year's third quarter.  During August and  September,  net sales
were impacted by a general softness in consumer demand in the Company's  trading
areas,  despite the Company's continued  aggressive  marketing campaign.  In the
month of October, net sales were up 12% as a result of improved customer traffic
and the  infusion of fall  merchandise.  For the  nine-month  period,  net sales
increased by 10%, or $7.6 million over the same period last year with comparable
store  sales  up  4%.  These  sales  increases  were  attributable  to a  strong
performance in suits and to an aggressive marketing campaign. During the quarter
ended  October 28, 1995,  the Company  opened six new stores and  remodeled  two
existing superstores. There were 177 stores in operation as of October 28, 1995,
compared to 168 stores at October 29, 1994.

      Cost of sales in the third  quarter of fiscal  1996 was 55.3% of net sales
compared to 57.2% of net sales for the third quarter last year. This 1.9% of net
sales cost  reduction  was primarily  the result of improved  initial  markup on
inventory,  and to a lesser  degree the result of  increased  capitalization  of
buying and occupancy costs to inventory due to increased  growth in quarter over
quarter inventory levels. For the nine-month period,  cost of sales was 55.3% of
net sales compared to 57.0% of net sales last year.  This 1.7% of net sales cost
reduction  was  primarily  the result of improved  initial  markup on  inventory
purchased and to a lesser degree the result of reduced markdowns associated with
the clearance of seasonal merchandise.

      Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  in the third  quarter of
fiscal 1996 were 41.1% of net sales compared to 38.8% of net sales for the third
quarter of fiscal 1995.  This 2.3% of net sales  increase  was due  primarily to
incurring expenses,  including advertising, at planned levels while experiencing
sales less than anticipated, and to a lesser degree to higher costs of benefits.
For the nine-month period,  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were
39.7% of net sales versus 38.7% of net sales in the same period last year.  This
increase was  attributable  to higher  planned  advertising  costs  initiated to
increase  market  share  and  higher  store  salaries,  offset  in  part  by the
leveraging of fixed overhead on higher sales.

      Interest  expense was .7% of net sales in the third quarter of both fiscal
1996 and 1995 as well as in both  respective  nine-month  periods.  Even  though
average  borrowing  rates have increased  approximately  36% year over year, the
Company's 12% decrease in average borrowings have mitigated that impact.

      Other,  net  consists  of other  expense  of .8% of net sales in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to other income of .2% of net sales for the same
period last year.  This 1.0% of net sales  increase in costs is primarily due to
the expensing of estimated  closing  costs of $265,000  related to the Company's
decision  in the third  quarter of fiscal  1996 to close the two  Menswear  Mega
Center locations in Chicago,  Illinois in December 1995. On a nine-month  basis,
other  expense was .2% of net sales  compared to other  income of .3% last year.
Approximately  half of this  change  was  attributable  to the  planned  Chicago
closing  discussed  above while the balance is due to other income related to an
insured  loss last year in which claim  proceeds  exceeded the net book value of
the Company's assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The  Company  has  funded  its  operating  activities,  including  capital
expenditures for the opening of new stores, from internally  generated funds and
from bank borrowings.  Through the first nine months of fiscal 1996, the Company
opened seven new S&K stores,  1 new Menswear  Mega Center and remodeled 12 other
S&K  stores  including  two  existing  superstores.  Since  the end of the third
quarter,  the Company has opened 13 more new S&K  stores.  The Company  believes
that its  sources  of  liquidity  and  capital  resources  will  continue  to be
sufficient to fund its operations.

      Operating  activities  provided net cash of $1.7 million  during the first
nine months of fiscal 1996 compared to providing  $1.2 million for the same 1995
period  with  the  increase   coming   primarily  from  higher  net  income  and
depreciation. The Company reduced it's inventory growth and ended the nine-month
period $2.8 million  below last year's  increase  while  experiencing  a similar
decrease  in  accounts  payable.  Excluding  the  effects  of changes in working
capital,  net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months was
$3.4 million this year compared to $2.8 million last year.

      Net cash used in  investing  activities  is  primarily  for the purpose of
store expansion and remodelings.  Capital expenditures approximated $1.7 million
for the first nine months of fiscal  1996  compared  to $2.9  million  last year
which included $.4 million related to the Distribution Center enhancements.  The
Company has opened 13  additional  stores since the end of the fiscal 1996 third
quarter versus eight opened in the same period last year.

Financing  activities used net cash of $.1 million in the nine-month period this
year  compared  to  providing  net cash of $1.6  million in the same period last
year. This change is primarily due to a $1.3 million  reduction in the growth of
year over year borrowing levels under the Company's  unsecured  revolving credit
agreements.  As of October 28, 1995,  the Company had net unused  commitments of
approximately  $13.5 million  available under these  agreements  which aggregate
$23.0 million.
